Shuttle to keep rolling City and RTD OK funding deal to keep free bus By Tom Munds

Kittens cute, but challenging Local shelter receives dozens that were rescued from hoarder
PET REQUIREMENTS Many cities have ordinances limiting the number of pets in a home. In Littleton, there can be no more than a combined total of three dogs or cats older than six months, and no more than one litter at a time. Also against the law are nuisance odors and barking, exhibition fighting, abandonment, cruelty, inhumane killing, neglect and disposing of a dead animal in any way other than burial, rendering or incineration in a facility approved by the animal-control officer. Pets are also required to wear a tag proving they’ve been vaccinated against rabies. HSSPV can help with that - HSSPV has a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, and even will even spay/neuter and vaccinate feral cats and kittens. Their adoption fee includes vaccines, a microchip, spay/neuter and a 14-day limited health guarantee.

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Even for the Humane Society, getting more than 30 cats from a hoarder — most of them kittens — is a challenge. “Situations like this are unfortunate, but we are grateful that we could help give these little ones a chance for a better life,” said Leslie Maisonneuve, facilities coordinator for the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley. She declined to say where the cats had been. “Oftentimes in these hoarding situations, folks feel like they’re helping these cats out by providing them food and shelter,” she said. “But when the cats are not spayed or neutered, the situation can get out of hand rapidly.” The sudden influx of kittens left employees and volunteers scrambling to feed them - they weren’t yet eating on their own when they arrived, and Maisonneuve said they were super skinny and really scared. They’ve been fattened up now, their caretakers feeding them special milk from a dropper until the babies figure out how to eat gruel from a bowl. “That is just so cute,” Maisonneuve said. “They also didn’t know how to play, but now they’re learning and bouncing around.” Complicating things further, one kitten is blind and all are on antibiotics to treat a contagious upper-respiratory illness.
A Humane Society staffer holds a blind kitten Jan. 23 that was brought in with about 30 others that range from 4 weeks old to 2 years old. “If one gets it, somehow it spreads like wildfire,” Maisonneuve said. And therein lies the problem. Animal hoarding often leads to unhealthy environments, not just for the critters but for the people in the home, too. The Hoarding of Animals Research Consortium identifies the following characteristics as common in hoarders:
POSTAL ADDRESS

Accumulating a large number of animals, overwhelming the person’s ability to provide even minimal nutrition, sanitation and veterinary care. Failing to acknowledge the deteriorating condition of the animals (disease, starvation and even death) and the household environment (severe overcrowding, very unsanitary conditions). Failing to recognize the negative effect on health and well-being of all household members. HARC found that nearly 80 percent of animal hoarders also hoard possessions. “While no study has conclusively identified the psychological underpinnings behind animal hoarding, research in areas of [obsessive-compulsive disorder], addiction and delusion and attachment disorders may be useful for providing insight on hoarding,” says HARC’s website. The new batch of kittens will be ready for adoption in about four weeks. “Helping these babies is very challenging on our resources,” Maisonneuve said. “Help from the community would be so appreciated.” Money for medicine is the biggest need right now, she said, but also welcome are blankets, towels, cat litter, food and volunteers. For more information, visit www.HSSPV. org or call 303-703-2938.
Rose Cruz smiled when she learned she can continue to rely on the Art Shuttle services now that the city and RTD agreed to fund the program for another year. “The free bus gives me independence and freedom I wouldn’t have otherwise,” she said as she waited at the stop by Walmart. “My husband died about 18 months ago, I don’t drive so I had to depend on someone to take me to doctor’s appointments and shopping. Then I learned about our free shuttle bus. It is great. I can get groceries, shop a little, visit friends and get to the doctor without depending on anyone to drive me there.” The route is a 19-stop, three-mile circuit from the light rail station, through central Englewood, to the Swedish/Craig campus area. The return route wends its way through downtown to the light rail station. The shuttle is in operation Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. with a bus scheduled to arrive at each stop about every 15 minutes. Getenet Dagnew was driving the shuttle on Jan. 24. “I have been driving the shuttle for about seven months and I like to drive this route,” he said. “Most of the passengers are good people. Just about everyone thanks me for the ride as they get off. I don’t think you would hear that so often on a regular bus route.” Englewood’s shuttle bus began operation in September 2004, thanks to a federal grant that covered 80 percent of the cost of the project When the three-year grant ran out, the city worked out a cost-sharing agreement with RTD so the bus would continue. The city’s share, $60,328 for 2013, is based on a survey to determine the estimated amount that would have been collected if it cost to ride the shuttle. The remainder of the cost of operation and fuel, $278,310, is paid by RTD. Ridership has exceeded expectations from the start. Over the last three years, there has been a steady increase in ridership. In 2010, the average monthly ridership was 14, 255. Last year, more than 190,000 people rode the shuttle, which is an average monthly ridership of 15,852. Facing a budget crunch in 2011, the city council considered eliminating the shuttle. Residents came to council meetings to urge that the bus continue to operate, and the community stepped forward to help pay the city’s share. That year there were donations from Craig Hospital, Swedish Medical Center and residents who lived in Orchard Place, Simon Center and the Meridian. This year, there were donations from the Englewood Lions and from the Englewood Housing Authority on behalf of Orchard Place and Simon Center. Harold Stitt, community development senior planner, said donations from Art Shuttle supporters are applied to the city’s cost for the project and the remainder of the money is taken from the budget.

Construction taking shape Foundations in place, walls going up on new Englewood campus By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews. com A new seventh- through 12th-grade campus is being constructed on the Englewood High School site but not much of it is visible from outside the construction area. The view is much different when joining Englewood Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert to look at the project from the roof of the auditorium. “We have had good weather, and I think that has helped the construction to move ahead so it may be a little ahead of schedule,” Ewert said. “The work is progressing and, so far, we are a bit under budget, which is a good thing.” He pointed out the framework for the walls of the north gymnasium that are going up, while, across the site, the wall for the kitchen and culinary arts facility is in place. He also pointed out the foundation for the halls and what will eventually be the middle school wing are in place. All the buildings on the planned campus will be new except the auditorium and the field house. However, both of those buildings will undergo major renovations.
The campus transformation will cost about $40 million, which is available because voters gave the district approval to sell bonds. Work is now under way on phase one construction of what will become the middle school facility on the north end of the site. The construction also will include most of the common areas like science labs that, when the project is completed, will be used by both high school and middle school students. Phase one involved construction of about 65 percent of the project and it is tentatively scheduled to be completed by November 2013. The next phase will involve moving the high school students, teachers and classrooms to the newly constructed middle school building. That is tentatively scheduled to happen over the winter break in 2013. Shifting the high school classes to the new building is necessary so the remaining high school buildings can be demolished. That makes way for construction of the final 35 percent of the project. The demolition of the main high school building and completion of the remainder of the project is scheduled to begin in January 2014 and be completed by November of that year. “It is fun to see the construction progress and the building take shape,” he said. “We have a fixed camera in place that records a picture about every four
hours so we can document the progress.” He said this is a challenge because, in a small district like Englewood, there are no procedures or plans to follow since no school has been built here in about half a century. “We are taking our time to make sure everything gets done and gets done right,” Ewert said. “This is a once-in-a-career experience and we want to make sure the completed project meets all expectations.” As he watches the construction’s progress, Ewert said and he and his staff are also working on selecting everything that will what go into the buildings. “We go room by room, deciding on furnishings, fixture and equipment for each room,” the superintendent said. “It is tedious and time consuming to select each of the estimated 200,000 items that will include all the shelves, lockers, tables, chairs and desks for the new building.” Another aspect of the planning is making sure every room has the capabilities to support the technology that will be installed. Ewert said Mike Porter, district director of technology, is overseeing that aspect of the planning. “Mike is making sure of details like power available and outlets installed so each room can be properly equipped for 21st century education,” he said.
Signs on both sides of the structure announce the Englewood Shrine Club is for sale. The Englewood Shrine Club, which is part of El Jebel Shrine Temple, was established in 1952. Growing membership led the club to purchase the former St. George Episcopal Church at 3299 S. Logan and remodel it to accommodate their needs. The club was used for meetings and Shrine dances plus the Shriners put on an annual pancake breakfast in November. Englewood resident Jim Glasscock, a Mason for 52 years, said he was told declining membership led to the Shrine Club members’ decision to sell the building. He noted the Shrine Club is the last Masonic building in Englewood. The Englewood Masonic Lodge 166 moved out of its building several years ago and put it up for sale. Glasscock, secretary for the
lodge, said redevelopment plans didn’t work out and a couple years ago, the building at 3500 S. Sherman St. went into foreclosure. A developer purchased the building and has it on the market. Englewood Masonic Lodge 166 was established in 1922 and eventually purchased the old Lowell School building and converted into the Englewood Masonic Temple. The women of the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter 128 met at the building as did the young women members of Rainbow Girls Englewood Chapter 54. “There were years when the Englewood Masonic Lodge was an important organization in the community,” Glasscock said. “There were a lot of programs to help members of the community and it hurts to see the traditions, programs and the Masonic presences in the community disappear.” However, Glasscock noted not all the traditions have disappeared. “For more than five years, the Englewood Masons have donated dictionaries to the fifth-graders in each of the schools,” he said. “I am happy to say that is a tradition we plan to continue.”

Ailing service dog gets wheels Equipment aids dog with spinal cord degeneration By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com It was a red-letter day Jan. 24 when Shenandoah, a 90-pound Great Pyrenees, was fitted with wheeled support so she can continue her duties as a service dog for Thornton resident Constance Hein. The cart was fitted by the staff of Rocky Mountain Veterinary Neurology, located in the Veterinary Referral Center of Colorado in Englewood. “The dog has progressive spinal cord degeneration so, while she can do some functions, she doesn’t do well traveling long distances,” said Dr. Stephen Lane, the veterinary neurologist specialist. “This dog cart has four wheels to provide support to the dog’s body, which will help the dog rebuild leg strength and stamina.” The doctor said it is sad to watch the 3-year-old dog struggle with the disease. However, he wanted to say a special thank you to Doggon’ Wheels, the manufacturer, for donating the cart. He said the cart will ease the pressure on the spine and limbs, and will help Shenandoah by improving
the quality of life for the dog and help her continue to be a service dog for her owner. Hein said she is pleased Lane was able to provide the cart to help Shenandoah. “I am in a wheelchair most of the time and depend on Shenandoah’s natural skills as a guard dog and the skills she has learned as a service dog,” Hein said. “She is able to still do many things like pick up things for me. But, if we go on a long trip like going to the zoo, she really struggles.” Hein got Shenandoah when she was 3 months old. “Great Pyrenees are guard dogs by nature and Shenandoah is always right there beside me so I know I am safe anywhere I go,” she said. “I also trained her to do things to help me. She learned to pick up things I might drop and, when I was out of the wheelchair, she was beside me to help me maintain my balance.” Hein said the dog did anything she would ask but, if they walked a lot on an outing, Shenandoah was in a lot of pain the next day because her muscles were not as strong as they should be. “When Dr. Lane explained the benefits of the cart to me, I felt like it was a new lease on life for both Shenandoah and I,” she said. “The cart will make it easier for her to go with me if we want to go somewhere on a trip or for a long walk.

Two sites are requesting rezoning Winslow, General Iron sites seek planned unit development designation By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Owners of the Winslow site and the owners of the southern half of the former General Iron site are each seeking rezoning so projects can move forward when development opportunities arise. The Englewood City Council approved the requests on first reading and set public hearing on both requests as of the Feb. 4 council meeting. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and will be held in council chambers on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. There will be a sign-up sheet available for those who wish to have their comments on the record as part of the public hearing. W.H. Investments is making a rezoning request for the 6.12-acre site along south Galapago Street just north of Dartmouth, which has long been occupied by Winslow Crane Cop. Winslow continues to use the site to operate its business, storing and
maintaining a variety of industrial cranes and heavy equipment on the property. The other request is by Sand Creek Investor for rezoning the 10.6-acre site that is the southern portion of the former General Iron site, north of the intersection of Galapago and Bates. The southern portion of the General Iron site is undeveloped and is being used largely for storage of building materials like sand and gravel and for recycling of concrete. Audra Kirk of the community development department presented the proposals to the city council at the Jan. 22 meeting. She said both sites have the zoning assigned when the city did its original zoning in the 1940s. She added that the site plans for both sites were concepts and the owners noted development probably wouldn’t happen any time in the near future. She said the planned unit development would allow the construction of residential units on the sites that would be limited to 45 units per acre. Other uses such as industrial projects could be done as well. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said he was glad to see the proposals. “This is preplanning,” he said. “The owners are looking ahead and want to be ready to move when development opportunities do happen.”

2012 City revenues up, spending down
POLICE NEWS IN A HURRY Bank robber sought
Councilmember Jill Wilson said she was concerned that residential uses included large and small group homes. “I feel residents in the area should know about plans for group homes in the area,” she said.
The traffic stop was made about 4:30 p.m. Jan. 26 in the alley between the 3900 blocks of Broadway and Lincoln. The officer saw the ignition had been punched out. He checked the vehicle identification number and found Denver Police had reported the scooter stolen. The suspect said the scooter belonged to a friend he called, “LaJohn.” Because the scooter had been reported stolen, the rider was taken into custody. He was searched and officers found he had a screwdriver in his coat pocket and also had three syringes in his pants pocket. The material in the syringes tested positive for methamphetamine. The suspect was taken to jail. He could face felony charges, including theft by receiving.
Report paints good financial picture for Englewood By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Finance Director Frank Gryglewicz told the city council Englewood’s finances look pretty good based on the unofficial revenue and spending figures for 2012. “Through December the total revenues received are about $39.3 million, which is about 2.6 percent or about $1 million more than collected in 2011,” Gryglewicz said during the Jan. 28 study session. “In addition, spending is expected to come in about 2.5 percent under budget.” He added that the fig-

ures are unofficial and could change when late invoices and other expenses come in and are paid. There will be an audit and the final official figures will be contained in the Comprehensive Financial Report, which should completed by about April. Gryglewicz said the increased revenues and the decreased spending should combine to close most of the projected budget shortfall. “The 2012 budget forecast spending would exceed revenues by about $1.8 million,” he said. “Higher revenues and reduced spending are estimated to have made up about $1.4 million of that projected budget gap.” He added that 2012 sales tax, the city’s largest source of revenue, was up
and down but the fourth quarter collections were strong and indicates that it is a trend that will help the city financially. Councilmember Joe Jefferson said the narrowing of the forecast budget shortfall shows all city departments understand these are difficult times and pull together to help Englewood financially by reducing spending. Mayor Randy Penn said the report is good news for the city going into 2013. “I believe 2013 will be a good year for Englewood,” he said. “We should begin seeing increased sales taxes from developments like Kent Place and there are a number of other developments scheduled to begin in the first quarter of the year, strengthening Englewood’s financial position.”

g Immigrant tuition bill clears panel Measure would ease path for undocumented students By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com
Yesenya Saucedo fought back tears Thursday as she recalled being laughed at in kindergarten, and feeling “clueless and dumb” because of her struggles to speak English. Now, several years after her family brought Saucedo to the U.S. illegally, she is well on her way to graduating from Denver’s Bruce Randolph School this spring — with 23 college credits under her belt, to boot. “What I have done is what I’ve been asked, and even a little bit more,” she said during her testimony before a Colorado General Assembly committee hearing on a bill to which she is tying her college and career hopes. Saucedo wants to go to college, but because she is an undocumented student, she ener- cannot afford to pay the hefty, out-of-state perty. tuition rate to attend a Colorado school. But there remains hope for Saucedo, beessing cause the Senate bill that’s been dubbed ASSET — Advancing Students for a Stronger Economy Tomorrow — has cleared its first legislative hurdle. The bill — which would allow illegal immigrants to pay the same tuition at state colleges and universities as other students

Photo by Vic Vela who are residents — passed the nine-member Senate Education Committee Jan. 24. Sen. Evie Hudak, D-Westminster, who chairs the Education Committee, was one
of five Democrats who voted to move the bill forward. “We’re never better off with fewer educated students,” Hudak said. “When people
do not have hope, then it is very difficult to make it from day-to-day — especially children.” Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, who is one of the bill’s sponsors, said that if the bill becomes law, it would bring in about $2 million in net revenue to the state. Johnson said Colorado is forcing too many young people leave the state to attend colleges at neighboring states that already have laws similar to the one proposed in the ASSET bill. Once they graduate, they remain in those states and contribute to the economies there. “If we don’t stop to help these young people, what will happen to us as a state?” Johnston told the committee. One Republican committee member, Sen. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs, joined all five Democrats in voting to move the legislation forward. Three Republicans voted no. Only one person testified in opposition to the legislation. John Buck of the Colorado Alliance for Immigration Reform called the bill “illegal,” and said Colorado citizens “want illegal aliens to self-deport.” “This illegal education bill provides one more incentive for illegal alien families to cross our borders and diminish our resources,” he said. The bill now heads to the Senate Appropriations Committee, before going to the full Senate for a vote. It is likely that the bill will pass the Democratic-controlled General Assembly.
Civil-unions legislation moves ahead after Senate hearing Would not allow adoption agencies to opt out By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com Jeremy Simon is only 5 years old, but his knowledge of what was happening inside a Report Colorado Capitol committee hearing room Jan. 23 might already make him qualified to teach a civics class. “They’re trying to change the law,” he said, when asked what was happening that day. And what makes the law important? “So my moms can be together,” Jeremy said. Young Jeremy was one of many people who packed the Old Supreme Court Chambers inside the Capitol to hear, and to provide testimony on, what has long been a contentious issue: civil unions for gay couples. As expected, the bill — which would allow gay couples to enter into commitments that are similar to marriage — passed the five-member Senate Judiciary Committee along party lines, following a hearing that lasted more than four hours. The bill will now head to another committee in the Senate and is expected to ultimately become law, because of the Democratic-controlled Legislature. The bill’s sponsor, openly gay Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, whose district includes part of Arapahoe County, said the legislation would recognize “the love between committed couples.” “When two people are lucky enough to have found someone they want to spend the rest of their lives with, why should the state of Colorado stand in the way?” Steadman said during his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The bill could allow gay couples to begin the steps of entering into civil unions on May 1. They would be afforded many legal, medical and property rights, as well as the ability to adopt children. However, the bill does not allow gay couples in civil unions to file joint tax returns, at least until “statutory change is enacted,” according to the bill. Last year’s version of the bill died in a separate, Republican-controlled committee. “Today, you have the opportunity to finish what should have been started nine months ago,” said Brad Clark of
Capitol
Colorado One, a gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy group. Clark was one of many people who testified in support of the bill, several of whom offered emotional stories of having first met their partners several years ago — 17 years for Brian Bowles of Denver. “This is a human issue,” Bowles testified. “The greatest thing we have is love.” Jean Fredland of Adams County testified that, to her knowledge, none of her children or grandchildren is gay. But she equated the battle over civil unions as “a civil rights issue,” and said the opposition to the bill is offering “the same arguments I heard against civil rights in the ‘60s and ‘70s.” Meanwhile, there were plenty of critics who spoke out against the bill. And they were particularly upset that — unlike last year’s version — the bill does not exempt adoption agencies with religious convictions against same-sex unions from placing children with those couples. Kellie Fiedorek of the conservative, Arizona-based Alliance Defending Freedom, said judges and business owners who object to civil unions would be forced “to violate their deeply held religious convictions,” if the bill passed. Others who are against the bill were blunter in their opposition. Lisa Speer of Arapahoe County called the legislation “a canard.” “This legislation is all heart and no head,” she said. Republican committee member Steve King of Grand Junction — who, along with Republican Sen. Kevin Lundberg of Berthoud voted against moving the bill forward — asked Steadman, “Wouldn’t it be better to amend the bill to accommodate the religious beliefs of these people?” Steadman replied that he wouldn’t want to “enable businesses to put up signs outside their windows saying certain types of people aren’t welcome.” Steadman also

brought up the point to some who testified that it wouldn’t matter if he amended the bill because they wouldn’t support it anyway. In spite of vocal opposition, the legislation is expected to pass easily this session, something that Democratic Sen. Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City — who chaired Wednesday’s committee — says he will take
pride in. Ulibarri lives with his partner and two children, and has testified every time the bill has come up, only to walk away disappointed. The day before the hearing, Ulibarri was asked what’s it’s like to go from testifying, to holding the gavel that chairs the same committee. He replied: “Overwhelming … in the best possible sense.” FEBRUARY APRIL SPECIAL SPECIAL

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS
Pot must be kept from children With passage of Amendment 64, a newly legal scent of secondhand smoke is sure to waft toward our children now and then. The Amendment 64 Implementation Task Force at the Statehouse is busily working to address the legal gaps and safety concerns accompanying legalization of recreational marijuana for those 21 and older. In conjunction, we are writing stories about numerous related issues — such as likely impacts to children — brought to bear by 64. In general, we accept the logic of proponents and the will of voters in the state, but we are not so happy about the measure becoming part of the constitution, and we would have been fine to have other states tackle the change first, so our state could save on legislative time and related costs. But here we are.
OUR VIEW
As for the impact to children, we agree with Adams County Youth Initiative Executive Director Becky Hoffman, who said that although some supporters claim 64 will not get marijuana into the hands of children, it will. The amendment puts marijuana on the same plane as alcohol. Those who turn 21 can use marijuana, and it’s a mighty temptation for the underaged to try either one before they are old enough. Further, marijuana may be more and more visible on countertops and tables in homes as well as in plain sight since adults
no longer must conceal it. Marijuana will simply be more on hand and the act will be more in plain view — although mostly from afar — for children. To anyone who shrugs at the impacts, we submit two additional items from an Adams County Youth Initiative survey. One indicates children who report marijuana use are five times as likely to abuse prescription drugs. The other notes high schools with the highest student reported marijuana use produce the lowest graduation rates. With Amendment 64, greater responsibility rests squarely on the shoulders of all lawmakers and other adults. So we add to one of our standby sayings “there is right, there’s wrong and there is the law,” the words “there is a need for good modeling from adults.” We commend the ongoing work of law-
makers at the Statehouse and the invited input of law enforcement, the medical field and the community in general. The Sixty-ninth General Assembly Colorado Children’s Caucus planned related presentations Jan. 28 — topics to include addressing adverse health risks to children due to indoor marijuana grow operations and difficulties arising around intervention responses to drug use by child protection services and law enforcement. Smoking is smoking, so we hope there will be increasing information as more research on marijuana smoking becomes available, much like the campaigns to warn of the dangers of smoking tobacco during the past several decades. Amendment 64 brought steep learning curves, ones we want to see the state climb quickly for the sake of the children and for the good of all of us.
Life means having to say you’re sorry
Optimism works — I’m positive Writing this column for the past few years has been rewarding and it is something I really love and enjoy doing. The email feedback each week is always tremendous and I appreciate you all so much. A few weeks ago the column I submitted about being careful because our attitudes are transparent, generated the most feedback of any prior column, and it was all 100 percent positive. Imagine that. The comments and thoughts were so interesting to me that I went back and reviewed comments and feedback from prior columns where I specifically addressed the topic of our attitudes. A very clear pattern emerged, as the community has been very consistent over the years, responding most often to anything that I wrote that had to do with a positive attitude. So I thought I would share several of my favorite quotes that you may be able to use, cut out, copy, share, and in some way keep them in a visible location as a reminder about the importance of staying positive and optimistic: “I am so optimistic I would go after Moby Dick in a rowboat and take the tartar sauce with me.” — Zig Ziglar “Positive self-expectancy is the winners edge. We must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” — Denis Waitley “Eighty-five percent of the reason we get a job, keep that job, and get ahead in that job is because of our attitude.” — Cavett Robert “A positive mental attitude will not allow you to do anything, but it will allow you to do everything 100 percent better than a negative attitude will.” — Zig Ziglar “You can’t be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.” — John Maxwell “We have a right to choose our attitude.” — Viktor Frankl “The only difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is an attitude of extraordinary determination.” — Mary Kay Ash “A person can succeed at almost anything for which they have unlimited enthusiasm.” — Charles Schwab
“The message is clear: Plan with attitude; prepare with aptitude; participate with servitude; receive with gratitude; and this will be enough to separate you from the multitudes.” — Krish Dhanam “It’s our attitude, not our aptitude, that determines our altitude.” — Zig Ziglar These quotes have inspired me over the years, but seeing people with a positive attitude inspires me 100 times more than any quote I have ever read. They are a walking billboard of energy and enthusiasm, they bring light to the world, and by their example they motivate me to want to be better in all areas of my life. Investing in a positive attitude is like depositing money in the bank, the interest that we earn multiplies with each optimistic and positive outlook we deposit into our minds. Again, it was your response to previous columns about the importance of a healthy and positive attitude that created this column. My hope is that you will find one or more of the quotes above to be an inspiration for you and that you too will become a walking advertisement of a powerfully enthusiastic energetic passionate and positive attitude. Do you have a favorite quote about positive attitudes? I would love for you to share it with me at gotonorton@gmail.com and I am absolutely certain that this will be a better than good week.

I just bought my apologies at the Apology Store. I know I’ll need some this year. We all will. This is the Apology Generation. I am going to try to keep it down to 10 apologies this year. Not a day goes by that someone isn’t apologizing for something. Cheating husbands, cheating wives, celebrities, athletes and their schools, doctors (“Oops, wrong kidney!”), Illinois politicians, waiters who bring you a steak that looks like my friend Flicka. My grocery store apologized for selling yams that were marked as sweet potatoes. There’s an apology for the dust in the building where I go to see my therapist. “We’re making this a better place for YOU. Our apologies during construction!” I haven’t noticed any dust or any differences. The elevators smell different, that’s about all. I blunder all of the time, and later regret it. So does just about everyone else, eventually. It took Lance Armstrong years and years to confess. In the meantime, he hurt and offended and admittedly “bullied” a lot of people, and he single-handedly ruined a sport, that may not be a participant in the next Olympics partly because of his actions. How can you sufficiently apologize for that? Or for Penn State? Or for backing over a roadie and killing him, which is what drunk Who drummer Keith Moon did? Practically every day we read something like this, “I would like to apologize to my wife and my girlfriend, and the entire (name a team) organization, and all of our fans, for my behavior at the Cleavage Night Club & Bakery the other day. It will be a life lesson I promise never to repeat.” Or, “Maybe I didn’t really go on a meditative hike on the Appalachian Trail after all. I want to apologize to all of the voters in this state, as well as to my wife.”

I guess the voters accepted the apology. The wife didn’t. I accept each and every apology. I know how hard it is to apologize and mean it. I accept the apologies but I may not forgive. It depends upon the offense. I have Autofill. It tries to read my mind sometimes. If I want to send an email to Ethel it will fill in the last name for me. Now and then it designates the wrong recipient and I am in too big a hurry to notice. Ay, caramba! Sometimes this costs me more than one of my apologies. I am very opinionated, and sometimes I express myself too assertively for the circumstances. A kid, soliciting, was on my porch one day, knocking, and looking directly at three “No Solicitors” signs and standing on an “Unwelcome” mat. He might have been British. In England, solicitation has a different meaning than it does here, and it’s not selling magazine subscriptions. He might have thought he was OK to knock, since he wasn’t wearing fishnet hose. I should have thought of that at the time. Instead I suggested he sit down with a good book, the dictionary, as soon as possible. I’m sorry. I don’t know what for, but I am sure I can come up with something. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@ comcast.net

Anonymous letter halts clerk appointment Ethics committee to review candidate’s history By Deborah Grigsby dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com An anonymous email has put the brakes on Arapahoe County’s plans to appoint a new clerk and recorder to replace Nancy Doty, now serving her first term as District 1 Commissioner. Sent just after noon on Jan. 27, and addressed to the entire Board of County Commissioners, the mysterious missive from “Jane Doe” suggests the board take a closer look at the life, integrity, conduct and work history of Matt Crane, Arapahoe County Deputy of Elections, and one of three candidates vying for the appointment. A statement from the county on Jan. 28 confirmed the BOCC postponed the decision “in light of information that was submitted anonymously” regarding one of the candidates.
County Attorney Ron Carl will forward the information to the county’s Ethics Committee for review. “I look forward to this, going before the ethics committee,” said Crane. “We’ve done nothing wrong and this is all old news that has been examined before when I worked for the City and County of Denver.” The three-page letter paints a questionable picture of Crane, pointing to his previous troubles while serving as operations manager for the Denver Election Commission in 2006, when voter check-in software crashed, leading to three-hour lines at some vote centers and an estimated loss of more than 20,000 votes due to the delays. The letter also calls out a “cozy relationship” Crane had with Lisa Flanagan, a Sequoia Voting Systems employee, whom he married. “My wife and I met when we both worked in the Secretary of State’s office in 2001,” Crane explained. “Our relationship pre-dates my employment with the City and County of

Denver and any association with Sequoia Voter Systems.” Sequoia Voting Systems is the provider of the software that experts fault with Denver’s 2006 Election Day debacle. A 2007 investigative report by CBS Evening News charged Sequoia with providing the low-quality punch cards to Palm Beach County, Fla., for the 2000 election that were believed to be the cause behind the infamous “hanging chad” controversy. On Jan. 23, the board interviewed three candidates: Crane; Cindy Acree, a former state representative; and Susan Beckman, former Arapahoe County Commissioner. The person selected will fill the remainder of Doty’s term, which expires Jan. 15, 2015. Crane called the anonymous letter “nothing more than mudslinging.” “I look forward to the process and I will, absolutely, be an open book,” said Crane. “I’ve got nothing to hide.”
Arapahoe sheriff would enforce new gun laws Grayson Robinson talks constitutionality, mental health in written statement By Deborah Grigsby
nd dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com o
While the folks on Capitol Hill prepare to slug it out over President Obama’s proposed new gun laws, sts some law enforcement professionals have threatened to enforce only those mes laws they feel are constitutional. In a three-page statement, dated n Jan. 22, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayng son Robinson broke his silence and nd dinged rogue sheriffs and other public safety professionals who plan to selecand, tively apply the new measures. an “Although I have great respect and ne admiration for each of my colleague he sheriffs and police chiefs across the ng country, I take exception with the that handful of public servants who have own suggested that they would reject enon forcement of any `unconstitutional mandates,’ specifically related to the I am Second Amendment,” said Robinson, a 40-year law enforcement veteran. Robinson points out positions of authority don’t always equate to the t. ability to arbitrarily determine constith@ tutionality. “If an issue were to be arbitrarily deemed `unconstitutional,’ the deci-
sion to curtail further enforcement responsibilities would be in direct conflict with the concept of the balance of powers as defined by our founders,” he said. Public safety pro- Robinson fessionals serving in the executive branch, according to Robinson, do not have the authority, responsibility, and in most cases, the credentials, to determine the constitutionality of any issue. That authority is reserved for the judicial branch, as defined by the Constitution, he added. “For a public safety professional to suggest they can determine the constitutionality of an issue and establish public policy based on that ill-conceived notion, would be tantamount to a police officer arresting an individual, determining guilt and sentencing the individual to incarceration in the county jail,” Robinson said. “This is not how our principle-based, constitutional system, functions. We are a nation of laws.” Robinson went on to say there’s more to curtailing gun violence than just the guns. “Reviews of recent tragedies include three themes: guns, death/ injury and the perpetrator’s mental
health,” he said, adding that mental health is the one element that receives the least amount of intervention or prevention efforts, while being a significant cause of victimization. “The nation’s largest mental health treatment facilities are not hospitals,” said Robinson, “but are county jails and state prisons.” His statement indicated he supports “meaningful sharing of information related to individuals suffering mental illness with families, treatment providers and public safety officials.” He also said there is a fourth element that should be included in any responsible discussion about gun violence, and that’s the impact of gangs and gang violence. In his statement, Robinson said he supports aggressive prosecution of those who commit crimes involving firearms, thorough background checks and the preservation of privacy of those who legally own and safely possess firearms. Robinson also makes a call to action for citizens to “acknowledge the culture of violence” associated with the Internet, violent video games and violent movies. “While acts of violence will still, sadly, continue to victimize our community and our country, an obligation exists to be engaged and demand well-considered, meaningful and sustainable solutions.”

Spring will arrive early Garden, Home Show set for 9-day run By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com For nine days in February — Feb. 9-17 — one can walk into the Colorado Convention Center, inhale and pretend that spring has arrived. It’s time for the 2013 Garden and Home Show. A glance at the numbers involved is mind-boggling, but it all comes together after five days of labor to present more than an acre — 45,000 square feet — of assorted gardens, amid exhibits from more than 600 companies from 25 states and Canada. Fourteen separate gardens are designed by local landscapers and schools
(Colorado State University and Pickens), including the “Flowers and Flight” entry garden with featured aircraft by Town and Country Landscaping. A special favorite is the “Trains to Tranquility Garden,” installed by Timberline Gardens, featuring G-scale garden railroad trains among boulders, trees and flowers. We received facts such as: 15,000 blooming flowers, 2,000 cubic yards of mulch, 400 tons of rocks and boulders — and that’s just for the gardens. Families can shop for new varieties of roses, water features for an existing garden, landscape plans for a new garden and numerous items for home remodel and repair. Wear your walking shoes to traverse this 400,000-square-foot show. A standard flower show is a regular component and this year’s theme is “Out of this World.” Look for unique arrangements from about 60 garden club mem-
bers. Also, look for “Experience Ikebana” in the upper lobby to the left of the show entrance during the second weekend. An ongoing schedule of seminars is listed on the show’s website, gardeningcolorado.com, and it includes participation from Arapahoe Community College; Dr. Jim Klett of CSU, who will introduce the new Plant Select varieties; “how-to” on remodeling home landscape sessions by Alpine Gardens of Fort Collins and Greeley; programs by local members of ASID, Association of Interior Designers and more. See “Theater” on the website for a schedule. Each year, the Garden and Home Show organization awards scholarships to students in plant sciences, as well as grants to community-related garden projects. In the past, Littleton’s Colorado Center for the Blind and Hudson Gardens, as well as Englewood’s Swedish Medical Center rehabilitation garden have received grants.

Denver newbie Tender Belly is bellying up to the food bar to showcase its pork products. If you haven’t porked out on their products, you’re missing a sweet treat. Tender Belly is a Cinderella story with brothers Erik and Shannon Duffy, who were born and raised in Iowa, where farmers created the gold standard of pork. While not farmers themselves, they come from a farming family, dedicated to the land and hard work. Entrepreneurial fires burned in both, along with a broad set of professional skills and most importantly, a love for good, pure, clean food and making the simple things, extraordinary. In 2010 they joined forces and started Tender Belly. Their business was an immediate hit — the lure of tasty bacon and other outstanding pork products was too good for chefs to pass up. If you’re hankering for Tender Belly pork products, you will find them at Cured: www.curedboulder.com/; Lucky’s Market: www.luckysmarket.com; The Truffle Cheese Shop: www.denvertruffle.com; or Tony’s Markets: www.tonysmarket.com. You can also check out Tender Belly products at www.tenderbelly.com.
Selby goes solo
If you don’t know where Jefferson Park is, now is a good time to figure that out because Corner House, located in this Northwest area, finally opened its doors last week. The anticipation has been building since November when chef Matt Selby, then at Vesta Dipping Grill, announced that this casual neighborhood eatery would be his next venture, according to EaterDenver.com. Since November, there were interviews with Selby, construction updates, space and menu previews, and even a spot on the Eater National 40 Most Anticipated Openings of 2013 for Corner House. Now it is open and will serve a small but carefully crafted menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Motherhood, shown through variety of lenses
It’s a collection of scenes, written by 14 top playwrights and novelists, lovingly assembled by Tony Award winner Joan Stein and Susan Rose into 90 minutes of humor, nostalgia, emotion and insights into women’s experience. “Motherhood Out Loud” is in its fourth production and is a perfect fit for Avenue Theater’s sixth annual January devoted to women. Among the writers: Pulitzer Prize winner Beth Henley, Michele Lowe and Theresa Rebeck are listed with those involved as designers, writers, producers and those who came up with concepts, and despite the great number of creative minds included, the piece flows smoothly as one work. Local actors Lu Ann Buckstein, Mehry Eslaminia, Megan Heffernan, Jeff Kosloski,

Cindy Laudadio-Hill and Jane Shirley expertly slide in and out of numerous characters, starting logically with a funny bit about delivering that little person in the first place. With minimal set pieces and mostly black attire, these six carry the audience from park playground to school to concerns about a son who wants to be a girl, to adoption. There’s a nice piece about a gay dad’s experience with a surrogate mom and another about how to explain adoption.
A Muslim mom, teens, pending weddings, in-laws, children away at war, family Thanksgivings, divorce and the perspective of a great-grandmother all follow on stage. The ending circles back to birth: “Oh my God, you are a person! We both cry. A new life had begun and I got to be there!” Directed to women and men, this is just a beautifully crafted bit of theater, skillfully directed by Bob Wells.
Hoping for a 7 p.m. reservation at Barolo Grill, Elway’s Cherry Creek or Ocean Prime during Denver Restaurant Week(s)? Prime time seats at those foodie favorites are filled.

But with more than 300 restaurants already participating in the event that charges $52.80 per couple ($26.40 for one) for a three-course meal, there are plenty of eateries to go around.

HOME SALE REPAIR RESPONSIBILITIES M
any questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer. There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and seller to find a middle ground. The buyer may have to make some concessions, as will the seller. Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated. Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest

this be done as a first priority -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made. A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the contract to protect their inter-
ests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise. The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in foreclosure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a money-management Web site, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn’t assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bank-owned home) are responsible for the repairs. Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold “as is” and may even specify that repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer’s responsibility. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs. But foreclosures are often already deeply discounted. Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs
Mortgage corner
that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walking away from the deal, according to Why6Percent.com, a real estate marketing site. SUCH REPAIRS INCLUDE:
• lender-required repairs that could impact home safety • leaky pipes • water penetration issues, including a bad roof • unsafe decking or handrails • wet basements or crawl spaces • insecure foundations or obvious structural damage • poorly functioning sewer lines or septic system It is always adviseable for buyers to speak with a reliable real estate attorney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect the home they’ll be living in for the next several years. ❑

then experimenting and trying new restaurants or revisiting old favorites,” said Richard Scharf, president & CEO of Visit Denver, the owner and organizer of the event. More than 300 restaurants have already signed up to participate in 2013 with more coming on board every day. “We will continue to post menus on the site as we get them from the restaurants, so it pays to check the site frequently,” Scharf said. While the event continues to grow — with 339 restaurants participating last year, Denver broke all records for restaurant weeks across the country — some beloved fine dining spots opted out this year. Perhaps most notably, was the decision by Bonanno Concepts, the restaurant company owned by chef Frank Bonanno, to “86 its two white tablecloth spots, Mizuna and Luca d’Italia, from the Denver Restaurant
Week(s) menu. Other lower priced Bonanno Concepts restaurants — Osteria Marco, Russell’s Smokehouse, Lou’s Food Bar and Bones (which are all wonderful) — are still part of the program. “Frank gives his chefs freedom when it comes to menu creation and events, and the chef teams at Mizuna and Luca d’Italia have decided to decline participation in this year’s Denver Restaurant Week because they simply prefer to run business as usual,” said Lauren Hendrick, PR and marketing coordinator for Bonanno Concepts. “It’s really as simple as that.” A new feature on the www.denverrestaurantweek.com website allows diners to share their “Must-Dine” lists with their friends on Facebook, giving them yet another way to make their plans. Based on surveys, a record 404,400 meals were served during DRW 2012, up 12 percent over the 360,480 total meals served in 2011. Website traffic
at the DRW site saw 7 million page views in 2012. Scharf encouraged diners to make reservations early, but sent a word of warning to “no shows.” “Please honor your reservations,” he said. “One of the most frustrating things about the event is when people make a reservation, and don’t show up, denying other diners that time slot. Don’t be a no-show! Please notify the restaurant if your plans change so they can fill that table.” And, on another note, please remember to tip your server on the real bill’s total, not just on the discounted $52.80 price tag.

Book helps readers start new chapters Second, third careers are part of life for many By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Twenty years from now, you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do, than the ones you did do.” (Mark Twain). A comparable literary quote begins each chapter of a new book — the idea of a second career is not new. The newly published “Encore Career Handbook” by Marci Alboher (Workman $15.95) addresses a major change in our society: Instead of retiring, many women and men are reinventing themselves for a second, and even a third career. Average life expectancy has moved from 47 to 78 years in the past 100 years and “growing numbers of baby boomers are rewriting the narrative of 21st-century midlife by crafting a new stage of work: the encore career for the greater good,” writes Marci Alboher in the first chapter of her comprehensive “Encore Career Handbook.” Alboher, who visited the Colfax Tattered
Castle Rock
Cover on Jan. 21, is a former career columnist for the New York Times and is now in her second career as vice president of the national nonprofit organization, Encore. org, which maintains a useful website and promotes its work nationally through education. The easy-to-read book is organized with frequently asked questions — and answers, work sheets, references to books and online resources on numerous topics. It of course advocates planning ahead while one is still in that first career if possible, but also addresses the concerns of someone who has unexpectedly lost a job. It recognizes that financial needs will vary and helps with ways to bridge a gap between careers, and realistic ways to plan for future needs. Perhaps one has to do a disliked job for a time, concurrent with getting educated for a new career. Chapter 3, “What Do You Want?’” starts with Lucille Ball’s observation: “It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.” Career transition involves internal assessments and then a period of trying things out in the real world. A series of exercises lead the reader to determining “What is your Encore Number?” (How much in-

slants — followed by a chapter that pushes the reader to “Go Do Things!” “To try and fail is at least to learn. To fail to try is to suffer the loss of what might have been.” (Ben Franklin.) Uncertainty about whether something is right, or an unfortunate experience in the past, might be countered with a period of unpaid, or low-paid experiment. An afternoon or longer of volunteering or longer periods of internship, apprenticeship, fellowship will expose one to a new experience — and perhaps an update on related technology. A list of volunteer websites is useful. A return to school could be necessary to learn a new skill or update a rusty one. Alboher urges that you get acquainted with your community college, one of many options for training. Online courses are another. There are individuals the author calls “social entrepreneurs,” who start nonprofit organizations to solve community or global problems. A chapter on how to maintain momentum, financial and physical health and enthusiasm bookends the start-up advice and is followed by a comprehensive bibliography of websites, books and other resources in this ambitious new volume.

Students recognized at ACC breakfast
ng is n the od of afternger , fel-By Sonya Ellingboe peri-sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com lated es is Among scholarships awarded annually by Arapahoe Community College are the ssaryMartin Luther King Scholarship of $500 a one.year and the Ellie and Manny Greenberg withScholarships — there are three — of $1,000 y op-a year. Applicants for both are asked to sube an-mit an essay about how Martin Luther King has affected their lives. calls The Greenbergs were involved with Litprofittleton’s Human Relations Council, which lobalwas organized in the 1960s when minority families seeking to buy homes in the city men-met resistance. d en- The group hosted a visit from King, who e andspoke at Grace Presbyterian Church. The ogra-scholarships were established to honor and urcesremember King and his visit. Three students were honored on Jan. 21 at a breakfast hosted by ACC at The Bistro in Aspen Grove for about 30 donors to the two scholarship funds. The ACC Foundation appointed a committee of board members to make the final selection of scholarship winners. • Ziba Cooper was awarded the Martin Luther King Scholarship as well as the Ellie and Manny Greenberg Scholarship. Growing up in India, she graduated from college with a degree in hotel management and had a job with a five-star hotel there. She had heard about King, who “is celebrated not only for the concrete legislation he enabled, but for his articulation of dreams and hopes shared by many during an era of upheaval and change.” She married at 25 and moved to the U.S., where she tried to find a hotel that would sponsor her for a H-1B visa so she could work. As she struggled with disappointment in the refusals she met, she also thought of King’s statement: “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” Her essay incorporated appropriate King quotations throughout. She next tried to volunteer and was turned down for lack of a Social Security number until Food Bank of the Rockies put her to work in the warehouse. Deciding to go for a master’s degree, she was again rebuffed by local institutions that would not accept her credits from India and told her to start over. She has started again at ACC, in a business curriculum, with a plan to gain a bachelor’s degree in accounting/finance. She

hoped for a scholarship to help with her tuition, which her husband has been paying, and was awarded two. She will take a few months off for the arrival of a baby and then return to pursue her dream. • Johanna VanDeWege of Highlands Ranch, a science student, received an Ellie and Manny Greenberg Scholarship. She had been employed in information security — less than intellectually satisfying — and was shocked by the discontinuation of the NASA shuttle program. Conversation with a former professor suggested that “another important avenue in the same vein was sustainability studies, since we as a planet have a finite supply of resources; perhaps I should look into applying my desire to research new solutions to this problem.” She has decided to pursue studies in biological and chemical engineering, eventually attend graduate school and focus on “solutions that will address energy, food and other supplies necessary for human society …. And I think it is not too excessive to say that a majority of my drive to help my planet and my people — the whole of humanity — is due to the influential life and teachings of Dr. King.” She writes about learning of King in third grade and wishing for a time machine to travel to help him. She has, as an adult, been inspired by King’s example to volunteer with the Denver Building Asset Coalition, which educates individuals in financial management. She hopes in the future to serve as a mentor to girls to get them into science — also inspired by King’s words on the importance of science to our society. • Mia Renee Samora, who is studying for a nursing degree, began her essay with words partly from King: “I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” She is of Hispanic and Hungarian descent and has had a hand in raising a dozen children, she said, including three of her own. She adopted four with special needs: a Hispanic boy and his African-American and Hispanic half-sister, and a white brother and sister. To overcome harassment because of skin color, she involved them in Girl and Boy Scouts, where there were children from different backgrounds and she became a leader for seven years. She volunteers at her children’s school and wants to help people more by becoming a nurse. She also organizes an annual toy drive for Children’s Hospital in honor of a son who died at age 8. The scholarship will give her some free time from working to study, she said.

Pirates head to wrestling regionals Feb 15-16 Event at Mullen determines the qualifiers for the state tournament By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood wrestlers join athletes from 16 other schools at regionals as each individual seeks one of the coveted spots at the state tournament. “The competition will be tough and our guys will have to wrestle their best to advance to state,” Pirates wrestling coach Jim Potter said. “I expect our heavyweight Damasejae Currington has a good chance to return to state. Several other wrestlers have the potential to do well at regionals if they wrestle the way they are capable of wrestling.” The regionals will be held Feb. 15 and 16 at Mullen High School, 3601 S. Lowell Blvd. Teams at regionals include Broomfield, Denver North, Englewood, Mullen, Wheat Ridge, Pueblo Central, Denver South, Evergreen, Palmer Ridge, Arvada, Denver West, Green Mountain, Thomas Jefferson, Conifer, Elizabeth, Kennedy and Valor Christian. Each team can enter one wrestler in each of the 13 weight divisions and the top four finishers in each weight division advance to the state tournament Feb. 21-23 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. Englewood wrestled its final home match of the season Jan. 23 against Mullen. The Pirates took a short break in the action to honor the team’s four seniors, Damasejae Currington, Trevor Kline, Cody Mikulecky and Shane Meneffe. “We didn’t wrestle very well against Mullen,” Coach Potter said after the match. “I had hoped we would do better. After all, this are wrestlers we will need to get by at regionals in order for our guys to qualify for state.” Mikulecky wrestles at 132 pounds for the Pirates. “This was my second season as a wrestler so it hasn’t gone too well but not what

Sandoval got the points for the takedown but the Mullen wrestler went on to win the match. Photo by Tom Munds I wanted it to be,” the senior said. “I have messed around with wrestling for several years and I decided to join the team last year because it gets me in good physical condition for lacrosse.” He smiled as he said he quickly found out that being on a wrestling team was a lot more challenging and demanding than just messing around wrestling. “Wrestling is a good sport and it helps me develop skills I use in soccer and in lacrosse,” he said. “On the mat, you have to be ready to react quickly to an opponent
which helps me develop my reactions for the other sports. He said he is sorry he didn’t come out as a freshman because he likes wrestling. “Wrestling is challenging but it is sort of fun too,” Mikulecky said. “The matches are fun because it is all on you and you can’t blame anyone for your mistakes. But practices are tough. The coaches push you hard and it is challenging.” Sophomore Tristen Cassilwatts said he decided to join the wrestling team this year because every day is a challenge.
“The sport is physically demanding and it is mentally challenging too,” he said. “I don’t play any other high school sport so I have decided to wrestle all summer to try to get better.” He is wrestling at 132 pounds and said he wants to move up to the 145 pound weight division. “I know I have to get a lot stronger to do well in wrestling,” he said. “I plan to spend a lot of time in the weight room so I will be ready to compete as I move up to higher weight divisions.”
Pirate girls pursue a hoop win Coach thinks addition of veteran player will strengthen team By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com This has been a challenging season for the young, inexperienced Englewood High School girls basketball team but coach Adrian Thomas said the addition of a veteran player Elijah Dougherty will strengthen the squad as the Pirates head into the second match with each of the league opponents. The Pirates came into the season with several players who had played basketball at the varsity level. But the roster was thinned by injuries so, most of the season, only two varsity veterans, Mason Brainard and Kadie Kavinsky, have been on the court regularly and are have been the team leaders. Brainard is the team’s point guard and is the leading scorer, averaging 17.3 points a game. She also leads the team in assists with 12 and in steals wit 44. Teammate Kavinsky is leading the team in rebounds with 73, in steals with 49 and she has blocked 19 shots. Englewood is at home Feb. 1 against Fort Morgan and Feb. 5 against Fort Lupton. Home games are double-headers with a JV game at 5:30 and a varsity game at 7. One ticket is good for both games. “It has been hard season for us because this is first season of competitive basketball for many of our girls and they are learning to play the game as we go,” the coach said. “That is why I think the addition of Elijah to our lineup will be a plus for us. She knows how to play the game and I think she will create some open looks for us.” The name is familiar because Daugherty played for the Pirates as a freshman and was the leading scorer. During the off season, her family moved and she was at Cherry Creek until recently when the family moved back to Englewood.
Julia Kline (10) drives in to score a basket for Englewood in the Jan. 29 girls basketball game against Elizabeth. The basket was good but Elizabeth pulled away to win the game. Photo by Tom Munds “I feel like I am back at home and I am happy about it,” she said. “I hope I bring my passion for sports will inspire other girls to play sports. I am also looking forward to doing what I can to help our basketball team the rest of this season.” She said she likes basketball and she probably is at her best shooting the outside shot. “I like to shoot the three-pointers but I don’t have a favorite spot,” she said. “I just square up anywhere I am open on the court and in range to try to hit the shot.” The team has also benefitted from the Maddie Smith’s return to the lineup after she was sidelined by an injury.
“It has been a little rough having to sit and watch as I have missed almost half the season because of an injury,” she said. “I am healthy now and I am back trying to help our team.” She said she tries to being a positive attitude to the court and she like playing down low at the post position. “I like the post position where I can get down in close to the basket and battle for the ball,” she said. “I enjoy the physical play under the basket and, for me, I am best when I am shooting in close. I want to work hard, do my best to help my team by getting rebounds and maybe scoring four or six points a game.”
