Theresa Kerr finally got to ride a horse.

“I wanted go horseback riding when I was a kid, but my parents said it didn’t happen because I was a crybaby,” the Englewood resident said. “All these years I still wanted to ride a horse but never happened. Now, at age 69, my wish was granted when Wish of a Lifetime arranged it.”

On March 20, Kerr’s wish came

true when she joined representatives of Wish of a Lifetime and Malley Senior Recreation Center for the trip to the Denver Equestrian Riding School in Jefferson County.

“Everyone from Malley, Wish of a Lifetime and the riding school were great and helped me ride a horse named Romeo,” Kerr said.

“The experience was wonderful. I believe the organization granting my wish is the greatest honor of my life.”

Wish of a Lifetime is a nonprofit organization established by Colorado athlete Jeremy Bloom in 2008, which works to grant wishes to men and women 65 or older.

The connection between Kerr and Wish of a Lifetime was a result Wish continues on Page 12

School art show opens at library Englewood event puts district students’ works on display

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The excited voices of children disrupted the normally quiet atmosphere of the Englewood Public Library during the reception and opening of the school district art show.

Families and young artists arrived at the library and searched the walls and tops of the shelves for the child’s creation.

Adrianna Pena, a fourth-grader at Cherrelyn Elementary School, showed her mother her latest artistic creation.

“I made a dragon with fire coming out of its mouth,” the girl explained. “I put ink stamps of Chinese symbols around the edge of the dragon. I don’t know what all the symbols mean but I think one of them means ‘awesome.’ ”

Adriannah Pena, a fourth-grader at Cherrelyn Elementary School, tells her mother Salina about her artwork that is part of the district art show on display at the Englewood Public Library. Pena’s dragon is among several hundred examples of student art on display. Photo by Tom Munds She said she really likes her artwork and, even if given the opportunity, she probably wouldn’t

change anything about her creation.

There were paintings, draw-

ings, sculptures and other artwork around the library March 19, and one of the areas that drew a lot of attention were the guitars decorated by students from Colorado’s Finest Alternative School of Choice.

Alysia Farnsworth was one of the artists who not only did the artwork on a guitar but built the guitar from scratch.

“I loved the idea because I play the guitar and I thought it would be awesome to build my own guitar instead of just going out and buying one,” she said. “This is just the body. When I finish the work on it, I will have a working electric guitar.”

She said the work on the body and neck were completed when art teacher Kim Young suggested students do artwork on their guitars.

“The theme of the artwork was how music is a gateway of free expression,” Farnsworth said. “I chose to do my guitar about Stevie Nicks because when she was involved in music she was accused

Which Wich helps feed the hungry Project PB&J efforts benefit local charities

By Christy Steadman

csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

April 2 is National PB&J Day, but the Which Wich sandwich shops know the value of a good peanutbutter-and-jelly sandwich yearround — especially when it’s going to a person who may not have another meal that day.

Project PB&J is an initiative to help feed the hungry, said Jay Goldstein, chief operating officer for the franchise’s Front Range locations.

“It’s heartbreaking what some people have to go through,” Goldstein said. “This gives us a chance to help the less fortunate.”

At every Which Wich location nationwide, customers have the option to purchase a $3 peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich to give to charity. Then, for each sandwich purchased, Which Wich donates two.

Some local charities that benefit from Project PB&J are food banks such as Tri-Lakes Cares, homeless shelters, Boys & Girls Clubs and Shiloh House. Deliveries to any one of the charities are done on just about a daily basis, Monday through Friday, Goldstein said.

“It’s just natural to give back to the community,” Goldstein said.

“To see the reaction of the kids and

Highlands Ranch Which Wich employees, from left, Shane Redmond, manager Tyanna Bourret and Emily Overturf make peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches for Project PB&J. For every peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich a customer orders for the initiative, Which Wich donates two to a charity organization. In an effort between all 11 of the Front Range Which Wich locations, the restaurants donated the 25,000th peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich on March 20. Photos by Christy Steadman families reminds me how fortunate we are.”

Project PB&J began in the Front Range in March 2014. Which Wich’s Cornerstar location in Aurora, near Parker and Arapahoe roads, was the first to make a donation of 100 sandwiches. A local church was preparing a clothing and food donation and reached out, said man-

ager Tyanna Bourret.

“They started applauding when I arrived,” she said, added that the church reached out to hundreds of restaurants within 15 miles of its location, and Which Wich was the only one that agreed to join the effort.

About a year later, Which Wich reached its 25,000th donated pea-

nut butter-and-jelly sandwich on March 20.

“It took a while for people to make it part of the culture,” Goldstein said, but “we’re really hitting our stride now.”

In one week, on average, the Front Range stores’ combined efforts donate 1,100 sandwiches, with the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree

locations being the tops for sales of peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches to benefit Project PB&J. In fact, Goldstein said, Denver leads the initiative out of about 400 Which Wich locations nationwide.

That is something to be proud of, said Goldsteind, who, along with his business partner, Jeff Gordan, co-owns the 11 Front Range locations that participate in Project PB&J. Goldstein and Gordan’s Which Wiches has a reach as far north as Fort Collins, and as far south as Colorado Springs.

Project PB&J impacts a lot of less fortunate people in a positive way, Bourret said.

“We’re bringing them more than just sandwiches,” she said. “We’re making their day. We’re giving them their only meal for the day, sometimes.”

On April 2, all 11 Front Range Which Wich locations will donate an extra 100 peanut-butter-andjelly sandwiches — in addition to what customers purchase that day.

Goldstein recalled when the initiative first came to the Highlands Ranch location at Town Center, one customer approached an employee in the parking lot, and asked if the store participated in Project PB&J. When the employee said yes, the customer held out his hand, Goldstein said, and in it was a $100 bill.

“Our customers have big hearts, and they’re very generous,” Goldstein said. Project PB&J “wouldn’t be possible without them.”

City’s financial report looks good

Englewood revenues continue to outpace spending

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood’s financial picture looks good, at least right now.

That was the message Frank Gryglewicz, finance director, delivered to the Englewood City Council at the March 23 study session.

“The good news is the positive economic trend is continuing,” he said. “Revenues are up 1 percent or about $60,000 more than year to date in 2014. Perhaps more importantly, sales tax revenues so far this year are 6 percent or about $292,000 more than at this time last year.”

He said revenues will meet or exceed budget predictions if the current trend continues.

However, he noted the sales tax figures are so important because sales taxes are the city’s largest source of revenues.

Vendors charge 3.5 percent of the purchase price of taxable items. The sales taxes make up 79 percent of all taxes Englewood collects and 59 percent of the total city revenues.

“We must remember that sales taxes are volatile and often subject to drastic changes,” Gryglewicz said. “In 2002, sales tax revenues dropped 13 percent and it took a couple years to recover. The fact is, the economic climate can change in a way that influences people to reduce spending so sales tax collections decline.”

He said the fact sales taxes can decline dramatically is a good reason to have a healthy unallocated reserves. Gryglewicz said when there is a sizable reserve fund, the city can draw money from that fund to balance the budget and continue to provide services to residents even during a sizable decline in revenues.

During the discussion, Councilmember Rick Gillit asked Gryglewicz a question about the 2015 budget.

“We passed a budget with estimated spending expected to be about $2.4 million more than forecast revenues,” Gillit said. “That is a big number and I would like to know if you feel, provided current trends continue, if the budget will be balanced by the end of this year.”

Gryglewicz said he expects the gap between forecast spending and collected revenues to continue to close as long as revenue collections continue strong.

“I also believe spending will come in about 2 percent under budget, just as it has for the past few years,” he said. “I feel we are seeing changes to the organization that is saving money and I expect that to continue so the gap between spending and revenues will be erased.”

Mayor Randy Penn said it is a council tradition to evaluate financial data in June and make any needed adjustments to the budget.

Councilmember Joe Jefferson said spending traditionally comes in under budget.

“That is sort of a good thing but I wonder if a more accurate spending forecast would help more accurately establish a budget for the coming year,” he said. “I expect the prioritybased budget system the city is adopting will result in changes to spending estimates.”

Eric Keck, city manager, recommended the city enlist consultants to provide the training needed to implement a priority-based budgeting system.

“The focus of priority-based budgeting is establishing the true cost of doing business,” he said. “The process uses a system to figure the accurate cost and the priority of each service the city provides. The idea is to devote more resources to the priority services.”

He said it is a whole new process and will lead to more accurate spending forecasts because it will establish accurate figures for every service the city provides.

Hearing continued for sex-assault suspect Staff report The March 24 preliminary hearing for sex assault suspect Daylon Benjamin Hill, 29, was continued at the request of his public defender and he was ordered to return to court for a preliminary hearing on April 27.

The 29-year-old Englewood resident was arrested Jan. 18 and bond was set at $50,000. He was brought to court from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Center for the March 24 appearance.

Hill and five boys, three 16-year-olds and two 15-yearolds, are suspects in the sexual assault of an Englewood

High School freshman girl who was attending a party at 3251 S. Galapago St. Hill has been charged with sexual assault while overcoming a victim’s will, child sex assault, sexual exploitation of a child, sexual exploitation of a child with intent to sell and/or publish and a violent sex crime.

Also, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office issued a statement that, in the interest of justice, the juveniles will not be charged as adults in this case. However, it was also stated that the district attorney’s office would continue to seek the maximum penalty under juvenile law for each of the defendants.

ENGLEWOOD CRIME REPORT Woman accused of kicking cop A 30-year-old woman allegedly kicked an officer in the head when she had been taken to Swedish Medical Center for high levels of intoxication.

About 5:30 p.m. March 14, officers went to the 500 block of East Hampden Avenue to check on a report of a domestic disturbance.

The police report states the woman was very intoxicated when she was arrested so she was taken to Swedish Medical Center.

According to the report, while she was at the medical center, she fought with officers and kicked one officer in the head.

She was restrained and treated. Police took her to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Center, where she could face a variety of charges, which could include felony assault on a police officer.

Trespassers arrested

Englewood police arrested three people who were not residents when they were found hiding in a residence in the 4200 block of South Acoma Street.

The alleged trespassing was reported to police about 11:25 p.m. March 15. Police checked the location and found a 24-year-old man, a 39-year-0ld man and a 24-year-old female hiding in the home.

During the investigation, police found the three suspects also had heroin, methamphetamine and numerous items of drug paraphernalia.

The three suspects were arrested, processed and later taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Center, where they could face a variety of charges.

Robbery suspect held A man held the woman who allegedly tried to rob him until police arrived.

The attempted robbery in a business in the 100 block of West Hampden Avenue was reported to police about 8:10 p.m. March 19. According to the police report, officers found a 27-year-old store employee who said the 48-year-0ld woman he had detained had tried to rob him.

The suspect told officers the woman walked up behind him, pushed something into his back and demanded he open the register.

The man feared for his life, the report said, and he distracted the woman and punched her in the face several times. He then kept her at the store until police arrived.

Police officers arrested the woman, processed her and she was taken to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Detention Center. She could face a variety of charges related to the case.

Residents should be aware, therefore, that one or more days during the week of 13th they might experience a flow of brown water from their taps. They should then turn on their cold water only until the taps are flowing clear.

Because of the nature of the project and the limited time available to complete it, crews will be unable to provide prior notification of their daily schedules.

Minimum wage proposals pass committee

A

Legislation gives authority to local government

House committee passed two minimum wage bills last week.

House Bill 1300, proposed to reinstate local government’s authority to increase minimum wages.

House Concurrent Resolution 1001 proposed to increase the minimum wage, by voter approval.

The increase would be a little more than a $1.00 every year starting in 2017 and end at $12.50 by 2020.

What you need to know:

Prior to 1999, local governments in Colorado had the authority to set minimum wage laws in their jurisdictions.

In 2006, voters approved Amendment 42 to raise the minimum wage to $6.85. The state minimum wage is now $8.23, driven upward by inflation.

Advocates cite numerous studies on both sides of the argument over the impact of higher minimum wages. These arguments center on various economic theories. Some groups argue that increasing the minimum wage will hurt jobs and kill small businesses, while supporters argue that better wages will help build the economy and help citizens out of poverty.

Studies surrounding local control and higher wages often use San Francisco, New Jersey, the California city of San Jose and New Mexico as points of interest.

Views from local representatives Views from opposition

“Unquestionably, all minimum wage laws interfere with right of contract between an individual and an employer — it takes the choice away,” said Patrick Boyle, lobbyist for the Colorado Competitive Council, an affiliate of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

“The most local area these decision can be made is between the employer and the employee,” said Rep. Patrick Neville, RFranktown.

“I think it’s fair that people who work hard get paid for what they do,” said Rep. Max Tyler, DLakewood.

Views from opposition

“We know the impact that an increase on this would have on both employees and businesses in Colorado -- it will cost jobs and close businesses,” said Sonia Riggs, president and CEO of the Colorado Restaurant Association and on behalf of the National Federation of Independent Businesses and the Colorado Hotel and Lodging Association.

Views from supporters

“I think this bill is about two issues, one is justice and one is democracy,” said Dianne Thiel of Denver. “The state can set the floor of a minimum wage but it needs to be up to the local communities to do right by the people living in their community.”

Views from supporters

“Although raising the minimum wage would benefit both men and women, it would disproportionately impact women,” said Michelle Webster, manager of policy and budget analysis at the Colorado Center on Law & Policy.

Webster reported that women account for 47 percent of the labor force in Colorado, yet nearly 52 percent of the female workforce would see a rise in income by increasing the minimum wage. “We need an economy that works for everyone in Colorado, and very simply, raising the minimum wage makes good on the promise of work as a pathway out of poverty and spurs economic growth.”

Expanded snow tire requirement passes toughest test Senate committee approves measure, but with reservations

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

A bill to require all motorists to use snow tires or chains during snowy months on Colorado’s major mountain highway has passed its toughest test in the state Legislature.

The measure cleared the Senate Transportation Committee 5-0, but not before the committee chairman and other Republicans on the committee expressed doubts about how effective the requirement would be in improving jammed Interstate 70.

“The largest problem here is volume,” not drivers with improper tires, said Sen. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction.

And the head of the committee, Sen. Randy Baumgardner, warned he may try to change the bill when it gets to the Senate floor.

“This piece of legislation may be a step to help, (but) I don’t think it’s the end-all, be-all,” said Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs.

Senators did change the bill to say the requirement would be in effect when designated by state transportation officials, instead of November through May. The measure has already passed the House.

Commercial vehicles like trailers are already under strict chain rules during winter and early spring.

The requirement has the backing of Colorado’s Department of Transportation and State Patrol, as well as commercial trucking groups and Colorado’s ski resorts.

“Accidents cost mountain communities hundreds of thousands an hour,” said Patrick Byrne, lobbyist for Colorado Ski Country USA. If signed into law, the bill would require drivers to carry tire chains unless they have four-wheel drive and all-season tires.

Violators could be charged $132, with a

possible $500 enhanced penalty if their chain violation results in the closure of a travel lane in one or both directions. The requirement would be in effect from Morrison in the east to Dotsero in the west, a stretch of about 125 miles.

“It’s a shared responsibility,” said Greg Fulton, president of the Colorado Motor Carriers Association, which represents commercial

truckers.

Fulton argued that motorists with improper snow tires damage the economy not just by blocking skiers trying to get to mountain resorts, but by blocking the shipment of goods on one of the nation’s major east-west thoroughfares.

“The cost is too great not to act,” Fulton said.

Students share ideas at Capitol

Members of Youth Advisory Council make policy recommendations

By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

A group of high school students recently proved they care about what happens in their state when they gave a presentation to Colorado’s state legislators at the Capitol in Denver.

The students, all members of the Colorado Youth Advisory Council, announced the group’s 2015 policy recommendations on Colorado’s water supply, public safety, mental health services and K-12 testing.

The legislators enjoy hearing from Colorado’s young adults about what matters to them, said Maureen Wolsborn, program manager for Engaged Public, a Denver-based public policy firm that facilitates the advisory council.

The legislators are generally “blown away” by the students’ ideas, creativity and level of professionalism, Wolsborn added.

“It’s a really unique experience that most adults don’t get,” Wolsborn said, “let alone high-schoolers.”

COYAC is an advisory council to the Legislature made up of 40 students between the ages of 14 and 19 who represent each of Colorado’s Senate districts, Wolsborn said.

“The students get a taste of what lawmaking and being a legislator is like,” she said. “There’s a lot of emphasis on making sure the students are running the council.”

The students are required to meet four times throughout the year, Wolsborn said, and the fourth time is the trip to the Capitol to present the policy recommendations they had been working on. In addition to the four meetings, the students talk with each other via Skype, email or phone, she added. In total, they spend about two hours a week, plus some weekend hours contributing to COYAC. “We keep in mind they are still in high school,” Wolsborn said, but “the students are dedicated and come up with some really great ideas.”

Advisory council member Taylor Kallsen, 18, of Centennial, who represents Senate District 27, believes Colorado’s youths are smart and many of them want to make a difference.

“It’s important that we have a voice,” he said. “I realized how powerful this council can be.”

Pictured, seated, from left, are David Willins, Logan Graham, Nick Gunther and Cole Hancock of Littleton. Standing, from left are Kate Burnite, William Kohnert and Joshua May to the far right. Courtesy photo Most people choose to be in politics because they care, Kallsen said, and added the legislators come from civilian backgrounds, and go in to politics because they want to make a difference.

Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, addressed the youths and expressed her support for COYAC. “Please, please, please continue the work you do,” she said. “Not only here, but beyond, in future years, because we need more people like you.”

Kallsen, who will be reaching the end of his two-year term this year, is going to continue to promote COYAC, he said, even after he graduates high school.

“It’s a good experience,” Kallsen said, “even for those who don’t have a huge interest in politics.”

A lot of times, the job of a politician is difficult and thankless, said COYAC member Cole Hancock, 16, of Littleton who represents Senate District 26.

COYAC’s policy recommendations are valuable to the politicians because it proves the youth does care about what happens in Colorado.

“It’s important to show them that the decisions they make will affect all of us in the future,” Hancock said.

No matter how young a person is, he said, there will always be benefits of learning what is happening in the Legislature and important policy decisions.

“Even though we can’t vote yet,” Hancock said, “we can still have our voices heard.”

Front Range Bank official faces embezzling charges Centennial woman in federal custody Staff report A Centennial woman and former bank official is facing federal charges after being indicted on 37 charges of felony embezzlement last week Candice L. White, 42, was scheduled to appear before a

U.S. magistrate judge March 25.

White was a senior vice president of Front Range Bank, which has locations in Englewood, Lakewood and Littleton. From July 2009 through March 2011, she allegedly embezzled more than $92,000 from the bank for her own personal use and for the use of others. In addition, White is charged with misapplying funds from other client accounts to an escrow account,

from which she is alleged to have embezzled the majority of the money in order to conceal and facilitate her ongoing criminal activity.

Because Front Range Bank received money from the federal Troubled Asset Relief Fund, the Special Inspector General assisted the FBI in the investigation.

White remains in custody until her next court hearing at 10 a.m. on March 30, when she will

enter a plea and the court will determine if she is eligible for bond.

If convicted, White faces up to 30 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine per count. She also faces two misdemeanors, which could add another year in federal prison and up to a $100,000 fine.

The defendant is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Pegeen Rhyne.

Report finds continuing racial disparity in pot arrests Total arrests fall after legalization, but blacks charged at higher rate

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

The legalization of marijuana in Colorado hasn’t solved the racial disparities in enforcement that drug-policy reformers had hoped to end, with blacks still far more likely than whites to be charged with pot-related crimes, a new report says.

The report, issued last week by the prolegalization Drug Policy Alliance, showed that marijuana arrests in Colorado all but stopped after voters made the drug legal in small amounts for those 21 and older.

But the report noted continuing racial disparities involving the marijuana crimes that remain, including public use and possession in excess of the one-ounce limit.

The study examined drug arrests in all 64 Colorado counties for two years before and two years after legalization in 2012.

The total number of charges for pot possession, distribution and cultivation plummeted almost 95 percent, from about 39,000 in 2010 to just over 2,000 last year.

Even after legalization, blacks were more than twice as likely as whites to be charged with public use of marijuana. Blacks were also much more likely to be charged with illegal cultivation of pot or possession of more than an ounce.

“Legalization is no panacea for the longtime issues that law enforcement had with the black and brown community,” said Art Way, Colorado director for the Drug Policy Alliance.

Still, the overall drop-off in arrests is good news for minorities, said Tony Newman, also of the Drug Policy Alliance.

“Despite the unsurprising racial disparities, these massive drops in arrests have been enormously beneficial to people of color,” Newman said.

The analysis did not break out data for Colorado’s largest ethnic minority, Latinos.

That’s because data comes from the National Incident-Based Reporting System, which does not tally numbers for Latinos.

One of the region’s top officials for coor-

dinating drug enforcement, Tom Gorman of the Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program, insisted that officers are not racially profiling pot users.

“Racial disparities exist in other laws.

What does that mean, that homicide law, rape laws, weapon laws are racist? There are other factors going on here that we need to address,” Gorman said.

After legalization, racial disparities did ease somewhat for marijuana distribution charges. Blacks accounted for about 22 percent of such arrests in 2010 and around 18 percent in 2014.

The arrest data got a mixed response from the regional head of the NAACP. “The overall decrease in arrests, charges and cases is enormously beneficial to communities of color who bore the brunt of marijuana prohibition,” Rosemary Harris Lytle said in a statement.

“However, we are concerned with the rise in disparity for the charge of public consumption and challenge law enforcement to ensure this reality is not discriminatory in any manner.”

In 2014, the year Colorado’s recreational marijuana stores opened, blacks were 3.9 percent of the population but accounted for 9.2 percent of pot possession arrests.

For illegal marijuana cultivation, the disparities didn’t just persist. They got much worse.

In 2010, whites in Colorado were slightly more likely than blacks to be arrested for growing pot. After legalization, the arrest rate for whites dropped dramatically but ticked up for blacks. In 2014, the arrest rate for blacks was roughly 2.5 times higher.

The Drug Policy Alliance did not conduct a similar analysis in Washington state, which also legalized pot in 2012. But racial disparities appear to have persisted there, too.

Last September, Seattle’s elected prosecutor dropped all tickets issued for the public use of marijuana through the first seven months of 2014 because most of them were written by a single police officer who disagreed with the legal pot law.

About one-third of those tickets were issued to blacks, who make up about 8 percent of Seattle’s population.

A researcher who did not work on the Drug Policy Alliance report, sociologist Pamela E. Oliver of the University of Wisconsin,

‘Legalization is no panacea for the longtime issues that law enforcement had with the black and brown community.’

Art Way,

Colorado director for the Drug Policy Alliance said the numbers reflect greater law enforcement attention paid to blacks.

“Black communities, and black people in predominantly white communities, tend to

be generally under higher levels of surveillance than whites and white communities, she said in an email, “and this is probably why these disparities are arising.”

Lawmakers move to standardize pot-testing labs Different facilities producing different results

By Kristen Wyatt Associated Press

Colorado is moving to establish another marijuana first: the first government standards for marijuana testing.

A bill approved by its first committee in the state Legislature last week would create statewide laboratory standards for the state’s 18 pot-testing labs.

Currently the labs are certified by state health authorities, but they don’t have uniform rules for testing pot for potency, homogeneity and contaminants, as required by state law.

Lab owners say they need the standards because different labs now produce very different results. Existing pot tests generally just look for whether the drug is present, not how strong it is.

“In most industries there are long-established processes,” said Ian Barringer, owner of a pot-testing lab called RM3.

“However, for cannabis, like most of the industry, we’re making up the rules as we

go along.”

The labs can currently be used by licensed marijuana producers. The bill was amended to remove lab access by private individuals and industrial hemp growers, now covered in separate bills still pending in the Legislature.

A separate bill advanced March 26 in a Senate committee would allow industrial hemp growers to use the labs, too.

Colorado currently allows farmers to grow hemp, marijuana’s non-intoxicating cousin, but only if the plants fall below a threshold for the plant’s intoxicating ingredient, THC. However, the farmers can’t take their plants to a lab to make sure they’re meeting the standard.

The testing bill creates what’s called a “reference library,” a standard set of protocols for testing pot.

The lab owner said the state need to “essentially referee all of the methodologies that we’re using.”

“We all understand the need to reveal the special sauce we’ve been using ... to further the industry,” Barringer said.

The bill now heads to a separate committee before consideration by the full House.

Tax-filing fraud hits home Paper checks sent to protect personal information, thwart thieves

The following are some tips to avoid becoming a victim of identity theft/tax fraud:

By Chris Michlewicz

• Don’t carry your Social Security card or any documents that include your Social Security number or individual taxpayer identification number.

Two tax-filing fraud cases in Franktown reflect an emerging trend that has government revenue departments and law enforcement agencies urging extra caution.

On March 13, a man living on Ponderosa Road called the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office because he received a state refund check in the mail that was made out to him and a woman he’s never heard of. The man told deputies that he hadn’t even filed his taxes yet. After contacting the IRS, he was told that someone filed state and federal tax returns using his personal information, but there were no suspects, according to an incident report.

One day later, a couple living on Pine Valley Drive in Franktown said they received a federal refund in the mail for $11,400. They also hadn’t filed. The check was in their names, but had a different routing number. The woman called the IRS. “The IRS instructed her to file a police report and told her that they now could not file their taxes electronically,” a sheriff’s office report says. “The IRS also told her that she would have to send in copies of their driver’s licenses, fill out form 14039, and complete a letter of explanation about the situation.”

The issue has caused headaches for taxpayers and weeks of delays as the Colorado Department of Revenue scrambles to head off the fraudulent activity with “assessments.”

The department issued a statement in midFebruary saying it is “taking additional precautions to combat emerging tax filing fraud, which is occurring nationwide” and said it appreciates the “patience and understanding” of those waiting on their returns.

The Colorado Department of Revenue decided to convert refunds to paper checks for some tax filers who requested direct deposit of their return into a bank account or onto a prepaid debit card.

“Sending a paper check to the taxpayer’s

AVOID BECOMING A VICTIM

• Protect your financial information.

• Check your credit report every 12 months.

• Secure personal information in your home.

• Protect your personal computers by using firewalls and anti-spam/virus software, updating security patches and changing passwords for Internet accounts.

• Don’t give personal information over the phone, through the mail or on the Internet unless you have initiated the contact or you are sure you know who you are dealing with.

mailing address is intended to prevent criminals from easily diverting fraudulent refunds to their own prepaid, reloadable cards or debit cards,” the department said.

Going back to paper checks also prevents future crimes from occurring. It’s intended to “maintain the security and confidentiality of taxpayer information,” says a letter that accompanies state tax refund checks.

However, the letter seems to acknowledge that even though it was sent along with a paper check, fraud could still be occurring.

“If you have not yet filed your 2014 Colorado individual income tax return, DO NOT cash this check,” the letter warns.

With data breaches at major retailers like Target and Home Depot, personal information has become more susceptible to falling into the wrong hands. Those filing fraudulent tax forms are using common online filing systems like TurboTax, dodging face-to-face interaction and conducting their work anonymously.

O U R S

Humor month sounds like 30-day sentence I’m not kidding: April is National Humor Month.

I’m ready. I have a brand new set of “A something walks into a bar jokes.”

I plan to watch as many “Seinfeld” reruns as possible.

I hear that Adam Sandler, quite simply America’s funniest man, has a new movie coming out in April. I wonder if that was planned to coincide with National Humor Month.

By now you know that I haven’t said anything here that was true, except that April is National Humor Month.

Every month has its share of these observations that most of us don’t observe, and probably don’t even know exist.

I observe humor each and every month, or at least I try to. I didn’t know why April was singled out. Maybe because of April Fools’ Day? Or maybe because April 15 is you-knowwhat, and someone thought we could use a little additional humor in our lives.

But my taxes have been done for two months, so that doesn’t really make any difference to me.

I have the answer.

And I was (mostly) right.

It was founded in 1976 by a comedian I have never heard of: Larry Wilde.

He said, “Since April is often bleak and grim and taxes are due on the 15th, it can be one of the most stressful times of the year. Besides it’s the only month that begins with All Fools’ Day, a day which has

sanctioned frivolity and pranks since the 1500s.”

T.S. Eliot said that “April is the cruellest month,” but he and Wilde weren’t living in Colorado. Maybe Pennsylvania. Colorado will be just as glamorous as it always is, year around.

Did you notice any increase in humor in your life in past Aprils? I haven’t.

I think that every month that has a new ISIS video in it is a little crueler. Or an airplane crash, a natural disaster, or the release of a new Adam Sandler movie.

I know I can find humor whenever I need to. Dickens, Letterman, politicians announcing for the presidency when the election is a year and a half away.

The zeal of the women who are on home shopping channels amuses me.

I have a collection of Gary Larson cartoons.

“Bringing Up Baby,” starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant works too.

But I can’t remember the last time that

I consciously sought out humor. If I am in the dumps, a joke-of-the-day isn’t going to get me out.

As I have said, what is or isn’t funny is as subjective as art and music and literature.

And the food at IHOP. But this has me a little concerned now. I write far more columns than my editor can use each month, and it’s up to him which ones he selects.

He will run five columns in April. What if he were to select five downers? And if you do know that April is National Humor Month I might be in hot water with you.

I’ll take my chances.

April always signals the start of Major League Baseball, and that can’t be bleak and grim. Usually it’s not until July when the wheels begin coming off of your favorite team.

Easter. Buddha’s birthday. And for some: 4/20.

My father died in April. I can’t talk with my sister on April 23, because I know we would never make it through the call.

Harry had a great sense of humor, and I always try to remember that.

So maybe that’s how I will observe National Humor Month from now on. And just to be thankful that perhaps some of my father’s sense of humor made it down to me.

For the best output, try some good input What are you listening to these days?

Better yet, who are you listening to?

Have you ever noticed that when we fill our minds with positive thoughts, productive ideas and upbeat music, we tend to feel better and perform better in all areas of our lives? And conversely, when we tend to get caught up in gossip, negative talk and the bad attitudes of others, we don’t feel very good and our performance suffers as well.

The good news is that we are the ones in control of what we listen to and who we listen to. We can make the decision to surround ourselves with positive influences and optimistic people or we can choose to invite pessimistic people and negative influences into our lives.

I know that sometimes we cannot avoid sadness or difficult situations. We all experience seasons of life that will bring us down from time to time. But I can assure you that the more we are grounded in our positivity, the better we will be at dealing with those challenging or difficult times.

Now some people, believe it or not, thrive on negativity or the problems of others. They feed off of the negative energy and want everyone else around them to be miserable too. And that is why it is important to monitor our input because it directly impacts our output. When we put the good stuff in we get the good stuff out.

For me, I love starting my day reading positive material, so I always begin with a devotional reading and spend time in the

Bible. Again, for me there is no better way to begin each day. It is also the last thing I read before going to sleep. I enjoy listening to positive audio programs where I can learn something new or reinforce a message I had heard before. And I also love reaching out to friends and associates who I know are extremely positive. Their stories of success coupled with their optimistic outlook on life are contagious and they fire me up.

So what are you listening to? And who are you listening to? Where are the inputs in your life coming from?

There is one source that you may not have considered before. The best and most reliable source of positive influence and optimistic input you can ever receive will come from yourself. That’s right, you can control the input simply by the positive messaging you give yourself throughout the day. Now remember, when we feel good about ourselves, when we feel better, our performance in all areas of our lives improves.

Now some will laugh or disregard the power and importance of positive self-talk.

Time to stand up and defend Medicare Part D Despite some heated political rhetoric from around the country, Colorado seniors know that the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit is affordable and is working, even for older men and women in the lowest income bracket. At the Colorado Gerontological Society, we see firsthand how seniors struggle every day to make ends meet on a fixed income, and how Medicare Part D has provided a life line that seniors’ health literally depends on. We are calling on Coloradans to stand up for this vital program that has achieved so much for our older citizens.

The record of success that we have seen with Medicare Part D is frankly rare for a government program, and something that we all should be proud of. Part D repeatedly comes in under budget. For three years in a row, the Congressional Budget Office has reduced its 10-year budget

forecast for Part D. Total Part D costs are 45 percent less than the initial CBO 10 year projections. This program is saving seniors money and saving our government money.

Not only does the program work, but seniors like it. Today, more than 450,000 Colorado seniors are enrolled in the program, which allows them to choose from 34 different private plans, some of which

cost as little as $12.60 a month and have no annual deductibles.

That is a recipe not only for success but for high levels of satisfaction. According to the 2013 Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, 94 percent of seniors who use Medicare Part D are happy with their plan. Part D has surpassed expectations in both improving seniors’ access to affordable medicines and containing healthcare costs for all taxpayers. Part of this is due to its competitive structure.

That’s good news because Colorado has one of the fastest aging populations in the country. Like millennials, baby boomers are flocking to Colorado. According to the Colorado Commission on Aging, between 2011 and 2021, Colorado will experience a 54 percent increase in residents over the age of 60.

Be wary of losing urban renewal While Littleton is not a “trend setter” among Colorado municipalities, it is still worthy of comment on what recently happened there. Littleton voters in a clear-cut “voice” expressed their desire to pull in the reins of local officials involving the powers of urban renewal and eminent domain.

In a 60 percent to 40 percent outcome (5,755 to 3,811), voters took away these economic development tools from their city council and urban renewal authority board of directors. Instead, each time there is a desire to use any of these tools, a special election will be required to secure the approval of the people. In other words, the city council and city manager are not able to provide a definitive answer to a developer on such issues.

Controversial actions Certainly, the power of eminent domain whereby an urban renewal authority board can condemn private property can cause disagreement, hard feelings and all kinds of rhetoric. In the same manner, the use of tax increment financing can stir up controversy with arguments on both sides of using this tool to help finance public improvements benefitting the developer.

Doherty Continued from Page 9

already growing at an annual rate of nearly 9 percent. This trend is certain to accelerate as our population grows and ages.

The good news is that Part D is part of the solution.

Affordable drug coverage and proper medication adherence improves health and helps slow Medicare’s overall spending growth. Costly procedures and hospital visits are less common when patients

The expansion of designating a geographical area to be “blighted” can get neighbors up in arms. Such a designation can be especially questionable when the city council declares farm land to be “blighted” such as Westminster and Thornton have done in the past to provide a means to an end in facilitating development such as major retail development. However, sometimes these tools are the only means to make a development or redevelopment work financially.

Is it reasonable? What would the prudent man say? “Will it sell in Peoria?”

Elected officials and urban renewal boards must be diligent in their decision-making and the process used with the public to get to a final conclusion i.e. whether to expand the urban renewal boundary or whether to grant a TIF agreement for a specific development. When decisions get to far from the middle like a one-sided “sweetheart deal” for a developer, the public is likely to challenge the decision and perhaps go so far as to take away the power that generated the issue in the first place.

Remember what is the greater good

The key point in bringing up the Littleton situation along with an older action involving the Estes Park urban renewal authority is that a balance of reason and logic must prevail. Like anything else, does it “pass the smell test”?

In the case of Estes Park, the “trigger” that ignited the fuse was a decision to declare the fairgrounds on the edge of town as “blighted” and to spend millions of dollars on a new fairgrounds complex.

That action led to a vote of the people to disband the urban renewal authority in Estes Park.

As an outsider who follows political actions and trends, I would say that the Estes Park public was correct in deciding the town officials overextended the intent of the urban renewal state law.

Also, I think there have been times when

take their medications as prescribed by their physician. Part D has helped save Medicare about $1,200 a year per patient in medical spending unrelated to prescription drugs.

In the past decade, we’ve seen exciting new treatments for cancer, diabetes, Crohn’s disease, fibromyalgia, cystic fibrosis, lupus, hepatitis C and many other devastating diseases. These breakthroughs promise to dramatically improve the health of seniors while reducing the economic costs of many debilitating conditions. Many new medicines are being researched and developed right here in Colorado.

Despite Part D’s undeniable popular-

ity and success, some in Congress are looking to change the program in their push to cut the budget. Over the past several years, some lawmakers have proposed changes to Part D that would save little money, while destroying a marketbased structure that has kept the program’s costs repeatedly under budget.

Of particular concern is a proposal to weaken the Medicare Part D Low Income Subsidy program, also known as “Extra Help.” This proposal would require seniors, many below the poverty level, to pay more for brand name medicines.

Losing Extra Help would be burdensome for low-income seniors and increase outof-pocket costs for many people.

Is it reasonable

land has been designated as “blighted” by city councils, which is a precursor to condemnation or TIF agreements, when it was questionable if the actions met the intent of the law. As long as no one legally opposed such designations, things just kept moving along.

Potential future detriment I believe the Littleton and Estes Park “decisions” by their respective voters will in time prove to be a mistake. The turnaround time to have voters decide on a land condemnation or TIF package will take too long or the whole process will be too shaky for developers to be interested in redevelopment opportunities in Littleton.

In the case of Estes Park, with a key area downtown still sitting vacant after a major fire several years ago, I cannot help but think that urban renewal may be the only tool to redevelop that key parcel. Anyway, reasonable, prudent, transparent actions are fundamental to upholding the trust of the voters in general and certainly in urban renewal situations.

Bill Christopher is a former Westminster city manager and RTD board member.

Simply put, Medicare Part D is one government program that is popular and saves money. Let’s protect what works.

Our leaders in Washington shouldn’t let today’s political battles get in the way of something that benefits the health of Colorado’s seniors today and for decades to come.

Lone Tree Link ridership gains traction Free shuttle celebrates six months of fast growth

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree Link driver Wayne Reeder knows at a glance where most of his passengers are headed. In four months of driving the shuttle, their faces have become familiar to him.

About 70 percent of them are headed to work at the Charles Schwab campus on Lincoln Avenue and Park Meadows Drive.

“I think (the service) is well appreciated,” Reeder said.

It’s also the perfect part-time job for Reeder, 65, retired and in remission from cancer. Amiable, extroverted and conscientious, he’s typical of Link drivers, who have earned compliments from many riders.

“I get to meet a lot of people,” said Reeder. “I especially like talking to the Schwab people. They’re very bright, and I like to mess with stocks.

“Everyone is very pleasant. I’ve never met an unpleasant person.”

The drivers are among the many reasons the City of Lone Tree believes its new service is a success.

The Link provides a connection primarily for people who take the light rail from points north of Lone Tree to its end point on Park Meadows Drive. Eventually, the Southeast Light Rail Extension will continue south, with stops scheduled

Lone Tree Link driver Wayne Reeder, who is retired and lives in Lone Tree, says he’s never met an unpleasant person on the route. The service recently marked six months, with ridership tripling since it began. Photo by Jane Reuter near Sky Ridge Medical Center and east of Interstate 25.

But until that’s constructed, a public transit gap exists between the Lincoln light rail station and major employers

like Schwab, Sky Ridge and the Parkridge office building. The station is also about a mile from the Entertainment District, University of Colorado Lone Tree Health Center and other popular destinations

along Park Meadows Drive.

The Lone Tree Link recently marked its six-month anniversary. Ridership of the small buses has tripled during that time, from 97 per day in the first month to 297 per day in March.

The shuttles stop at each of the six stops every 10 minutes from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Its stops include the Lincoln light rail station, Schwab, Sky Ridge, Kaiser, the Parkridge Corporate Center and the Entertainment District.

“One of the highest compliments I’ve heard ... was that there haven’t been any complaints,” said Torie Brazitis, assistant to Lone Tree’s city manager. “The stability of the service is the important thing here.”

The complimentary service is provided through a public-private collaboration with the City of Lone Tree, Charles Schwab, Sky Ridge, Kaiser, Parkridge Corporate Center and Denver South Transportation Management Association.

The cost for the initial year of service is $775,000, with the city paying $250,000 and the remainder divided among the other entities.

Though it primarily serves employees who travel to and from Lone Tree on the light rail, the Link is open to the public.

Reeder said some people ride it from the light rail station to the Entertainment District to eat at a restaurant or see a movie.

Southern Concepts Announces Growth Plan and Calendar of Events Gains Valued Board Members For a complete list of South Metro Denver

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 16, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bourbon Brothers Holding Corporation (OTCQB:RIBS) announced that in an effort to fuel the Company’s growth plan and further focus the brand, the Company has changed its name to Southern Concepts Restaurant Group, Inc. (“SCRG” or the “Company”).

During 2014, the Company increased sales by 145 percent and ended 2014 with revenues of approximately $5,144,500 versus $2,099,000 in 2013. The Company reported total assets of $4,473,600 with $1,182,100 of the current assets being cash or cash equivalents. Moreover, the Company ended 2014 with net assets of approximately $2,140,700.

“I couldn’t be more excited about the growth opportunities for Southern Concepts,” said Mitchell Roth, SCRG President. “We are anticipating a number of restaurant openings this year and the launch of a new fast casual concept.”

Southern Concepts Restaurant Group will be opening its second Southern Hospitality Restaurant and Bar in Lone Tree, Colo. in April, and its growth will not stop there.

Before the end of 2015, Roth expects the Company to open at least two more Southern Hospitality fast casual locations in the Denver

and Colorado Springs market, and as many as two units per quarter in 2016.

“Fast casual has been the fastest growing segment in the restaurant industry for five consecutive years, and outpaced traditional QSR and casual dining five to one during 2013,” said Roth. “This concept is in line with the tremendous resurgence of barbeque, leaving us with an opportunity to gain immediate market share.”

Southern Concepts Restaurant Group is expecting very strong average unit volumes in its fast casual concept. “Management is projecting average unit volume sales of $1.8 million in its fast casual stores with more than 20 percent in store-level net income,” said Roth.

In addition to the Company’s name change and projected growth, the SCRG Board of Directors gained two new members, Mr. Mitchell Roth and Ms. Jane Norton.

Mr. Roth joined the Company in 2013 and has been the driving force in developing the fast casual iteration of Southern Hospitality, including crafting the Master Licensing Agreement through which the Company will operate its fast casual units. Mr. Roth is primarily responsible for corporate development, including capital raising, contract negotiation, real estate development, and strategy.

Prior to joining SCRG, Mr. Roth worked at the investment-banking firm Laidlaw and Company, Ltd. in New York City. Mr. Roth received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Finance and Economics from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. Ms. Norton is the founder and General Manager of Norton & Associates LLC consulting firm, established in 2012, to advise clients in areas such as government/public policy, non-profits, education, aerospace, emergency preparedness, healthcare, and the military. She served in the administrations of Presidents Reagan and Bush as Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services from 1988-1993; and in the cabinet of Governor Owens as Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment from 1999-2002. In 2002 she was elected Colorado’s 46th Lieutenant Governor and served until January of 2007. Ms. Norton currently serves on the Valor Christian High School Board of Education since February 2013 through the present, Colorado Uplift Executive Committee since May 2013 through the present, John Templeton Foundation International Board of Advisors since July 2014 through the present, Citizen Advisor to the Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership since 2013 through the present, and is a Fellow with the Centennial Institute since 2011 through the present.

Ms. Norton earned a Bachelor of Science degree with Distinction in Health Sciences from Colorado State University in 1976, a Master of Science degree in Management from Regis University in 1999, and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humanities degree from Colorado Christian University in 2011.

Addison Brown said she decided to create a tiger as the main focus of her artwork.

“My teacher sort of chose the tiger for me, but it was fun doing him,” the girl said. “I did choose the leaves around my tiger. I picked leaves because there is pink in them and I like pink.”

“Wish of a Lifetime volunteer Janet Going made the presentation, met Theresa and told me she would be a great candidate to have the organization grant her wish,” said Nancy Dickeson, Volunteer of America Coordinator at Malley. “Janet is so enthusiastic and loves what she is doing.

When Theresa’s wish was granted, Janet came to bring her flowers and go with her to the riding school.”

Kerr said she always wanted to ride a horse because she saw it as being free.

“I always believed horses were gentle, smart, intelligent creatures.

The horse I rode, Romeo, was all those things,” she said. “I can’t begin to explain how great it was to finally get to ride the horse.”

She said when she went to the riding school, she got to meet her horse.

“I walked up to the Romeo and kissed him several time,” she said.

“He was a gentle, older horse and he looked at me with those big eyes when I kissed him. When he did that, I felt we were friends.”

She said she brushed the horse and then put on the blanket and harness so she could ride him.

“I got into the saddle, I learned how to tell Romeo how to go and stop and went for a ride,” Kerr said. “Romeo was so smart and we even trotted a short distance. The ride and the visit to the stables were a wonderful experience I will always remember.”

She said her father worked in the mines and also worked for the railroads.

After her father died, the family moved to Louisville, where she went to grade school and graduated from high school in 1963. She moved to Boulder for a while and got married, and over the years she lived in Arizona and other locations. She was homeless for a while and came to Colorado and eventually settled in Englewood.

“I moved here and found an apartment right up the street from the Malley Center,” she said. “I came to Malley and fell in love with the place. I volunteer here and it is like a second home for me.”

Dickerson said Kerr is among the volunteers serving the VOA lunches at Malley, plus she volunteers to help with other programs at Malley. However, Dickerson said she is more than a volunteer.

“Theresa is a sweet, loving person

who is always looking to help people, even people she doesn’t know,” she said. “She has a great heart and we are so glad she is here at Malley with us.”

Wish of a Lifetime’s office is in Denver.

Sally Webster, director of community outreach, said the organization granted 14 wishes from 2008 through 2010. However, the organization has granted more than 1,000 wishes to seniors in all 50 states since 2010.

“The organization grants wishes for people 65 and older,” she said. “We have a group of volunteers who review the nominations and decide which wishes should be granted.”

Webster said some wishes like Kerr’s are fairly easy to arrange. Others are harder, like a recent wish granted that returned a World War II soldier who was part of the D-Day landings to the beaches of Normandy, France.

Kids scramble for eggs Young hunters scoop up goodies at annual city event

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com More than 500 pairs of eyes scanned the ground as the final seconds counted down to begin the March 28 Englewood Egg Scramble.

Volunteers spread the hunting areas at Miller Field with a huge assortment of plastic eggs, candy toys and other goodies.

Children ranging in age from toddlers to eight-year-old and their families pressed up

against the tape as starting time neared.

Englewood’s egg hunt that is now named the egg scramble has been an annual event for many years. Just about every year, a big crowd attends the event so to give all the children the best possible opportunity to collect goodies, the goodies are spread around areas are clearly marked off into four areas, one area for each of the four age groups.

There are separate areas for 1- and 2-yearolds, 3- and 4-year-olds, 5- and 6-year-olds and 7- and 8-year-olds. Parents are not allowed to help the older children but can give a hand to the toddlers and very young children, assisting them as the kids collect the goodies.

At the signal to go, the scramble lived up to its name. Children scattered everywhere.

Older children scooped up goodies on the run while younger children stopped to pick up items.

In the area set aside for infants and toddlers, it was mothers and dads who gathered goodies for their children.

The rush didn’t last long as, within minutes, the ground was picked clean and families headed for the exits However, many stopped outside the fence where a firetruck, rescue van and police cars were lined up. Firefighters helped youngsters climb in and out of a fire truck and police officers were there to let children set behind the wheels of patrol cars.

Gradually, all the families left, staff completed cleaning up the area as they wrapped up another successful Englewood Scramble.

Girl back for fourth year

Staff planned the event

Although this is the fourth year Aoife Currier has taken part in Englewood’s Great Egg Scramble, the Aoife Currier 6-year-old said she was eager for the event to start so she could run out and scoop up as many plastic eggs as possible “We come here because it is a whole lot of fun,” the girls said. “I like to come and go looking for eggs because I am looking for the special egg so I can win a big basket.

The thing that is the best is hunting for the eggs.”

This is the third year Chris Vitale has led the effort to organize the Englewood Great Egg Scramble.

“This is a big Chris Vitale, program director project and just about everyone in the parks and recreation department is involved in planning and putting on this event,” she said. “We gather all the goodies and this year we have 3,000 plastic eggs and tons of candy and other goodies. We usually have about 500 kids take part in the event and twice that many adults so we draw a big crowd.”

Andrea Eickstaedt said this is the fourth year she has brought her two boys to the Englewood Great Andrea Eickstaedt with sons Jaxsen, left, and Egg Scramble.

“I brought Jaxsen to this event since he was one and he is five now,” she said. “We keep coming back because the boys love the event. It is a big event and they look forward to coming to this and getting the candy. I think it is awesome the city can continue to do things like this, the same kind of events Englewood did when I was growing up here.”

Corey Doty, a Metropolitan State University student, volunteered to help put on The Great Corey Doty, volunteer Egg Scramble.

“I am at the recreation center a lot, heard about the event and signed up so I can log some of the hours required for the recreation therapy degree I am working on,” she said.

“I think it is great there are so many items here for the kids and this event is awesome the way the areas are divided for age groups and there are plenty of goodies for everyone.”

Casa Bonita, the 41-year-old Lakewood institution known more for its “eatertainment” than its food, has been awarded landmark status by the Lakewood Historical Society.

But neither Casa Bonita’s food nor its pop culture icon status earned its place as a Lakewood Historical Society Landmark. Rather it was its history, architecture and community value that made it an outstanding candidate, Lakewood Historical Society member Ann Moore told The Denver Post.

Manager Mike Mason started working at Casa Bonita at age 16 — nearly 40 years ago.

He told the Post, “We’re not going to change the original formula. That’s what we attribute our success to.”

With the original formula intact, generations to come will be able to see the cliff divers and suck on sopapillas at the restaurant inside the strip mall at Colfax Avenue and Pierce Street. Casa Bonita owners and the new owners of the strip mall recently secured a long-term lease.

Kleinman wins `Restaurant Startup’

Winning season two of the CNBC competition “Restaurant Startup” recently gave creative culinarian Ian Kleinman the extra incentive he needed to open his first restaurant. Now, he’s this close to signing the lease on a space at 2020 Lawrence (next to Lower 48).

And when the ink is dry on the document, Kleinman plans to debut The Inventing Room ice cream shop on June 1.

The show, much like the popular series “Shark Tank,” puts restaurateur and TV personality Joe Bastianich and chef and restaurant operator Tim Love against each other to invest their own money in food concepts they believe will make them millions.

In the series finale March 17, Love committed to help finance The Inventing Room concept.

“We did some negotiations with Tim Love who wanted to invest with us, but it didn’t work out,” Kleinman said. “We’re still going to open a store, but we’re going to do it on our own.”

Rather than gleaning financial backing from the show, Kleinman was able to work out the prototype of his restaurant — from design to color scheme to the logo — for free.

“For me, I just wanted the opportunity to build this brick and mortar restaurant I have had in my head for seven years,” he said.

The ice cream shop will feature composed confections such as a compressed mango and strawberry kabob with salted caramel and chocolate, a carrot cake cookie ice cream sandwich with toasted marshmallow and cream cheese ice cream dipped in liquid nitrogen and a robot that will make chocolate truffles.

Haley Johnson is Lainie and Sam Gilstrap is Michael in Ripple Effect’s “Two Rooms,” playing at the Bakery in Denver. Courtesy photo er’s loneliness and frustration, his loss of a sense of time and place — he’s floating — waiting for something to happen.

His wife, Lainie (Haley Johnson) has stripped his office of furnishings in an attempt to

feel closer to his situation. She spends much of her time there, but is unable to help him.

Walker Harris ( Joe Von Bokern) is a reporter who urges her to go public and make noise about the situation, while Ellen

Van Doss (Paige Lynn Larson) is a frosty State Department representative, who urges her to stay quiet and not interfere with negotiations.

Ripple Effect Theatre Company, which formerly performed as the Byers-Evans Theatre Company (with Maggie Stillman and Brandon Palmer), states a mission of “entertaining audiences with vivid worlds and unveiling to them what it truly means to be human.”

Palmer’s director’s notes say that he first read the play last year during the media coverage of American journalist James Foley’s final days of confinement and “gruesome and inex-

cusable murder.” Murder.

Politically outspoken playwright Blessing spoke about the play a number of years ago and its ongoing relevance because “the problems in that part of the world are so chronic … I’ve found that contemporary American audiences have no problem plugging into our current struggles for those in the play. The dynamics of political kidnapping remain the same, as do political posturing, secret dealing, murder for political gain, etc. It’s still the same picture puzzle, even if we’ve cut up the pieces in different ways …”

The set is bare bones and The Bakery — where the production is staged — is an edgy industrial site, which feels far away from cozy downtown theaters. The location adds to the raw experience this play offers.

Ripple Effect’s release comments: “The question asked becomes not ‘What is the right choice?’ but ‘Is there a right choice?’”

‘Water’ play has strong sense of flow Prequel doesn’t take linear approach to storytelling

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Last season, Curious Theatre Company produced the mesmerizing “Brothers Size” by Louisiana-born Tarell Alvin McCraney for enthusiastic audiences. (It will repeat this summer, for those who missed it, or want to revisit.) McCraney has written the trilogy: “The Brother/Sister Plays.”

Now, the prequel, “In the Red and Brown Water,” is presented on the Curious stage through April 18, with the story of Oya (Kristen Adele), a young woman named for the Yoruba goddess of wind and water and a star runner. She is offered college scholarships, but opts to stay home with her mother, Mama Moja ( Jada Suzanne Dixon) who is ill — giving up her chance to get out of the bayou world.

The set features a weathered old wooden house on stilts, with a front porch.

Enter Ogun (Cajardo Rameer Lindsey), named for the Yoruba god of war, who

woos and wins her. Lindsey does a nice portrait of a sensitive blue-collar guy, who can’t quite figure out this dazzling woman.

And when we say “Enter Ogun,” we note that the characters all speak their stage directions as the play proceeds. Actor Geri J. Crawley (Aunt Elegua) commented in the talk-back that this addition to the script by McCraney made each actor an African “griot,” or storyteller.

The limber, eloquent, funny Elegba (named for a messenger to the gods, who is known for leading people into temptation) is played by an excellent Damion Hoover. Notes from the theater say Elegba also appears as an old man and a woman at times.

“Enter Shango” — Theo Wilson plays the god of fire, lightning and thunder, embodying passion, power and virility. A soldier, who comes and goes, he also urges Oya to lie with him. And to her everlasting despair, she is not able to conceive a child with either man.

As these up-close stories unravel, there are interludes of music, dance and song by the skilled ensemble, with little vignettes tucked in.

The entire production flows across the

IF YOU GO “In the Red and Brown Water” plays through April 18 at Curious Theatre, 1080 Acoma St., Denver.

Performances: 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $18-$44, 303-623-0524, curioustheatre.org.

stage — one has to relax, sit back and let it flow, surrounded by an evening of unique experience. Don’t expect to piece together a linear story — just soak it up and enjoy its aftermath of remembered images on the way home.

The script is almost as strong as “The Brothers Size” — which you will want to see July 9-Aug. 1 if you missed it last year.

Next season will bring “Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet” to conclude the trilogy.

Actors who stayed for the talk-back also said they jointly developed the choreography — and that veteran director Dee Covington comes from a dance background. They also said much of the music that runs through the play was specified by the playwright — really intriguing selections.

“In the Red and Brown Water” Kristen Adele (Oya) and Damion Hoover (Elegba) are lead characters in the magical “In Red and Brown Water,” based on Yoruba legends, at Curious Theatre. Courtesy photo

Thriller author to visit library 10th book in series portrays intense international chase

ABOUT STEVE BERRY Steve Berry’s deep knowledge of American history lies at the heart of each novel. A passion the former attorney shares with his wife, Elizabeth, has led them to create a foundation called History Matters, devoted to historic preservation.

They have raised more than $800,000 to save historic treasures across the country.

Steve Berry, a Georgia native, graduated from the Walter F. George

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com Writer Steve Berry has published his latest Cotton Malone thriller. The 10th book in the series sends his retired Justice Department agent on a chase to Venice and Croatia on the trail of a rogue North Korean who hopes to throw the U.S. into economic chaos.

Berry will appear at 7 p.m. April 9 at a Tattered Cover-sponsored event at the James H. Larue Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd., Highlands Ranch The exciting story stems from a littleknown incident from U.S. history—Berry’s special niche.

Andrew Mellon, one of America’s richest men, makes an offer to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, which cannot be ignored, despite the president’s intense dislike for his secretary of the treasury.

Published just in time for income tax day, the book would offer a perfect escape after one assembles all those dreaded numbers and sends them off.

Writer Paul Larks has come across Mellon’s material suggesting that the nation’s income tax laws may not be legal — that the ratification of the 16th Amendment was not con-

Steve Berry’s latest, “The Patriot Threat,” has a character who asks, “what if the Federal income tax is illegal?”

Courtesy photos ducted properly in some states, then covered up by political figures …

Lark’s book has fallen into the hands of the sinister, exiled North Korean Kim Yong Jin, who sees an opportunity for political clout and acquires copies of sensitive documents

— carried in a black satchel that changes hands many times in the course of a 24-hour chase from Venice to Croatia by land, sea and air.

The scene shifts between the European chases and tense events in Washington that eventually involve the U.S. president and competitive agents from the Justice and Treasury departments, including a few Superwoman types. (One can almost envision a possible movie, with chases through dark streets and leaps from buildings, boats and trains …)

An actual painting in the National Gallery — Mellon’s gift to the nation — enters

School of Law at Mercer University, was a trial lawyer for more than 30 years, and held elective office for 14 of those years, serving as a Camden County commissioner in Georgia.

Berry will appear at 7 p.m. April 9 at the James H. LaRue Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd., Highlands Ranch. Registration necessary due to limited seating: douglascountylibraries.org or 303791-7323.

into Berry’s intricately devised network of clues, as do codes, a crumpled piece of paper from Mellon’s hand and assorted red herrings strewn along Cotton Malone’s path.

Berry’s extensive knowledge of American history is a connecting thread across continents in all of his novels.

It’s interesting in this book how 21st-century technology kicks in as a tool for a colorful cast of agents from various backgrounds. Not only are they physically superior, but supersavvy about what’s available to them today.

Berry’s latest thriller is the 10th in the Cotton Malone adventures, which have been translated into 40 languages in 51 countries .

Udi’s opens pizza joint

Lifelong local restaurateurs, chefs and master bread bakers Udi, Robin and Etai Bar-on, the founders of Udi’s Foods (now Boulder Brands), have just opened The Good Son in the former Silvi’s Kitchen space at the Lowenstein Complex, 2550 E. Colfax Ave. The Bar-on family, owners of a catering company and 11 restaurants, artisan bakeries and cafes, including Silvi’s Kitchen, Etai’s and Braun, closed the East Colfax location of Silvi’s last November to make way for a completely new concept: a tavern emphasizing Detroit-style pizza and a thoughtfully curated craft beer, keg wine and cocktail program.

“We wanted to create a neighborhood gathering place that focused on authentic Detroit-style pizza, excellent craft beers, unique wines and a mix of classic and inventive cocktails,” said Etai, adding that Mark Stewart, the former general manager of North and Big Game, will manage the day-to-day operations.

Hours are from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday; The Good Son is closed on Monday. Weekend brunch is slated to launch in May. For more information, visit www.thegoodsontap.com, or call 303-355-5445.

Writer explores sadness at core of family history Nordhaus book has roots in haunted house

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com As she grew up hearing family stories, Colorado writer Hannah Nordhaus became aware of a dramatic history surrounding her great-great-grandmother, Julia Staab.

Many readers will be familiar with the classy La Posada hotel (“place of rest”) in Santa Fe, located not far from the Cathedral and the Plaza.

Nordhaus has just published “American Ghost: The True Story of a Family’s Haunted Past.” She will appear at the Tattered Cover at 2526 E. Colfax Ave. at 7 p.m. on April 8 to read from her book and discuss her adventures in writing it — and to sign copies.

The La Posada was originally the Staab House, built by prominent German Jewish Santa Fe businessman Abraham Staab for his young bride, Julia.

In the 1970s, a janitor in the by-then-hotel was mopping up late at night when he saw a dark-eyed woman, with white hair and a long black dress, standing by the fireplace, silently.

Other incidents followed — some of the sort attributed to a poltergeist: gas fireplaces turned off and on, vases of flowers were moved, bar glasses flew off the shelf and Julia Staab’s second-floor bedroom was especially prone to happenings.

Employees were convinced that a ghost resided there — an unhappy, restless ghost — Julia Schuster Staab.

Hannah Nordhaus, skeptical of ghost stories at the start, writes in an interview that her interest in her great-great-grandmother intensified after she found a history written by her great-aunt Lizzie on dusty shelves in the house her great-grandfather had built in the mountains east of Santa Fe. “Lizzie told tales of sadness and madness and forbidden love, of drug addictions and suicide, inheritance and disinheritance, penury, family feuds, brother against brother … There was more to Julia’s story than just a ghost in an old hotel …”

Hours and days and weeks and years of

research and travel ensued as Nordhaus followed different aspects of Julia’s half-acentury life (she died in 1896) — from young German bride who arrived on the frontier and bore eight children to sad, mentally ill older woman, subject to the imprecise medical care of her day.

Research in old newspapers and journals allows Nordhaus to paint a colorful picture of 19th-century Santa Fe, with its bright sun, entrepreneurial citizens such as Julia’s husband (who was not judged there for being a Jew), few or no supportive companions for Julia — with the possible exception of the gardenloving archbishop (Willa Cather’s model for “Death Comes for the Archbishop”).

How close was that relationship, Nordhaus asks.

Julia came, as a young bride in an arranged marriage, from a German town called Lugde in Germany, where she frequently returned with her children for visits to her large family — and to take the waters of the spa nearby.

Nordhaus and her German-speaking mother visited there and elsewhere in Germany in tracing Julia’s story.

The reader learns about the status of Jews in Europe and America, as well as the status — or lack of it — of even well-to-do women.

The flavor of early Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Trail contrasts with polished European locations Julia sought.

From accounts written by her daughter, Bertha, one senses the desperate loneliness and depression Julia felt despite receiving what was viewed as the best available medical treatment — for “female problems” and depression — in Germany, where the top doctors were found.

Following Nordhaus’ prolonged search for a ghost and a better understanding of her family history might lead a reader in similar directions. At the back of the book, she has compiled a section of “Notes on Sources” as well as a lengthy bibliography.

The book is an interesting read for a Western history fan, although I feel it might have benefited from additional editing.

Published in March by Harper Collins, “American Ghost” should be widely available in the area — and would add interest to that next trip to Santa Fe, as one attempts to imagine it in Julia’s day.

Exhibit enlivens gallery Joan Miro show at Denver Art Museum will run through June 28

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For the last 20 years of his life, Spanish painter Joan Miro (1893-1983) found a home on the island of Mallorca, where he could unpack and relate to his earlier paintings that had been packed away during World War II and after.

He lived through difficult times — the Spanish Civil War, World War II throughout Europe and Franco’s 40-year dictatorship in Spain, which the artist opposed.

In Palma, Mallorca, he was able to paint again and to create a number of highly original cast bronze sculptures, which often incorporated items he had collected on the beach.

“I painted in a frenzy, so that people will know that I am alive,” he said.

It is this energetic, late-in-life work — about 50

An exhibition catalog, published by Yale University Press, is available in the museum gift shop. pieces created between 1963 and 1981 — which make up the bright, witty “Joan Miro: Instinct and Imagination.”

The new exhibit runs through June 28 in the Gallagher Family Gallery on level one of the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building.

Gwen Chanzit, curator of modern and contemporary art at the DAM, spoke at a press preview about the artist’s inclination to carry home found objects and incorporate them into his sculptures: mixing spoons, fondue forks, metal forms, old doll parts and more went into assemblages that were cast in bronze by the lost wax method.

“Keep looking,” Chazit advised — there are extra stars and other objects to be found on the backs of the sculptures.

The Miro exhibit is organized by the Seattle Art Museum and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. It has been shown at the Seattle Art Museum and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.

While his painting style is well known worldwide, Miro’s sculptures have rarely traveled outside of Europe.

He was born in Barcelona and started art classes at an early age. In 1920, he went to Paris, where artists from across the world were working and exchanging ideas. He started painting in Surrealist style and created a number of prints.

His work was very influential on the American Abstract Expressionists who were working in New York after World War II — and on artists worldwide.

Visitors can look for favorite images in paintings and sculptures: women, birds, stars, for example — and children will be delighted by the whimsy and bright colors.

Allow time to watch the short, three-minute video at the back of the gallery, “Miro: Theatre of Dreams,” to see him manipulate thick strokes of paint with a brush and with his fingers — straight from the tube.

A related seminar on May 7 is called “Creative Aging.” There will also be related creative activities in the studio across the hall from the Gallagher Family Gallery. Check denverartmuseum.org for information.

Hooters coming to Lone Tree Former TGI Friday’s getting makeover for new restaurant

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@colorado communitymedia.com Lone Tree soon will be home to Hooters.

The chain restaurant known for its curvy, lightly attired waitresses and chicken wings will open in the former TGI Fridays. TGI Fridays closed its Yosemite Street and County Line Road restaurant in 2014.

An opening date isn’t yet set, but the project architect said it may be in June.

Franchise owner Restaurants of

America did not return calls requesting information about the Lone Tree site. Restaurants of America operates seven other Colorado Hooters.

Hooters, based in Atlanta, includes more than 430 locations in 28 countries. The first Hooters opened 1983 in Clearwater, Fla. “The casual beach-themed establishments feature music, sports on large flat screens, and a menu that includes seafood, sandwiches, burgers, salads, and of course, Hooters original chicken wings,” according to the company website. “Others have arrived, departed, and even flat out copied our formula, but we remain the genuine original.”

Lone Tree city planner Hans Friedel said the building won’t change dramatically, though Hooters will add

a timber trellis over the patio and garage doors that open to the patio.

“Hooters is trying to penetrate some more upscale markets and have more of an upscale concept,” Friedel said, with less emphasis on its “delightfully tacky yet unrefined” image.

Hooters recently adopted a new interior and exterior design that aims to be both contemporary and comfortable and appeal to a broader range of customers, ideally drawing more women and families. It also revamped its menu to include more salads and healthy choices.

The Hooters’ sign will undergo a separate city approval process.

Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning said he’s delighted to see a new restaurant in the building, which has been vacant for about a year.

Review: `While We’re Young’ finds insight, laughs in aging

By Jocelyn Noveck

Associated Press

It’s safe to say there aren’t a lot of movies out there about reaching middle age gracefully and happily.

And how could there be? The only thing worse than getting old, as the saying goes, is the alternative. But at least we have the movies — the good ones, anyway — to make us laugh about this fraught, undignified experience. And few recent films have done it better than Noah Baumbach’s deliciously sharp and touching “While We’re Young.”

It seems apt indeed that Baumbach’s star here, Ben Stiller, is 49 in real life — the age at which one finally, truly cannot deny having, SOMEHOW, reached middle age. In a minor but hilarious exchange, Stiller’s 40-something character, Josh Srebnick, is told he has arthritis. Surely, Josh protests with utter guilelessness, it’s not “arthritis arthritis” — it’s some other kind.

“It’s arthritis, and usually I only say it once,” the doctor replies.

Josh is a documentary filmmaker who’s been working on the same project for a decade, about a subject so dense and academic and boring we can’t explain it here.

He’s married to Cornelia (Naomi Watts, doing some of her best work in years), who also works on documentaries, assisting her father, a legendary documentarian played by the wonderful Charles Grodin. You may think that’s enough documentarians for one movie, but you’d be wrong: the film’s dream casting also includes Adam Driver as Jamie, a 20-ish, ambitious documentarian-wannabe.

While the Josh-Jamie dynamic will be essential to the film’s ruminations on aging, “While We’re Young” is also about a marriage. The wrinkle for Josh and Cornelia is that they don’t have kids, at an age when babymaking — particularly in babycentric Brooklyn — is the chief activity of all their friends. Alone at home, Josh and Cornelia speak defiantly (and unconvincingly) of the advantages of baby-free life.

“We could go to Paris tomorrow if we wanted to!” she says.

He agrees, while noting — with

middle-aged practicality — that it would be hard to get the best airfares at such short notice.

One day, the free-spirited Jamie and his pretty wife, Darby (Amanda Seyfried), attend a class Josh is giving, introducing themselves as big fans of his previous film. Josh is flattered of course, and soon he and Cornelia are dining with the younger couple. One dinner leads to more. The older folks become intoxicated with the youngsters’ free-wheeling, impossibly hip lifestyle.

The details here are delicious. Darby makes artisanal ice cream, and does hiphop aerobics. For fun, the couple explores abandoned subway tunnels. Their hipness has reached such an advanced state that they’re totally retro: They watch old VHS tapes, play board games, use typewriters; Jamie even speaks like someone out of a 1950s novel, beginning sentences with “Say ...”

Josh and Cornelia, in contrast, scan their iPads constantly, watch shows on Hulu and check texts every minute.

When, at one point, the foursome can’t

recall the word “marzipan,” Josh and Cornelia reach for their devices. “No,” says Jamie, with the serenity of a monk. “Let’s just NOT know what it is.”

The plot thickens when Jamie seeks Josh’s help on his own documentary, an enticing topic he seems to have simply stumbled upon. But soon, the thorny ethics of Jamie’s endeavor will emerge, and Josh will begin to wonder whether he’s been played for a sucker. A terrific climactic scene at an awards dinner — a multi-generational ideological confrontation — is both funny and disturbing, as Josh discovers that the rules by which he’s always lived may have changed without his ever noticing.

The ending is somehow uplifting — Josh may not have won his battle against aging, but it feels like a truce is in the air.

And in Baumbach’s hands, the battle has, at least, proved highly entertaining.

Why My Father Stole Secrets from J. Edgar Hoover

Sarah Davidon will speak at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 7, at Bemis Public Library, 6014 S. Datura St., Littleton, about how and why her father planned and carried out his secret mission to steal documents from the FBI in order to expose government surveillance. In 1971, there were rumors that the FBI was spying on college campuses, anti-war groups and Civil Rights leaders, but no one could provide the proof. William Davidon, a physicist, wanted to try a more aggressive but non-violent means to provide hard evidence that would expose injustices and protect civil liberties. Davidon was the leader of a group called the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI; this group broke into an FBI office in Pennsylvania and discovered documents that led to the exposure of government surveillance and illegal activities conducted by J. Edgar Hoover. Due in part to his exceptionally careful planning and his co-conspirators’ total commitment to secrecy, neither Davidon nor anyone else was ever charged with a crime, despite an intense five-year FBI investigation. William Davidon spent his final years living in Highlands Ranch and died in 2013. Sarah Davidon is a graduate of Harvard University and is on the faculty of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Call 303-795-3961.

Warriors fall short in home opener Mullen bats too much for Arapahoe

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Arapahoe players battled hard until the final out but weren’t able to score the runs needed as they lost the March 24 home opener to Mullen, 10-2.

“We are young and working to get better every game,” Arapahoe Coach Luke Muller said. “We have no returning starters and only one of this year’s players saw limited action last year off the bench with the varsity. So, we are still working on our game as we get ready for the league season.”

The Warriors, like so many area high schools, were on spring break last week. But, while many schools traveled to out-of-state tournaments, Arapahoe stayed home and played local teams, including two league games against Mullen.

The team won its first two games of the season, defeating Chatfield and Regis in non-league contests. Mullen was the first league opponent the Warriors faced this season and the Warriors were on the road to March 26 meet the Mustangs again. Mullen again won, this time 7-3.

Arapahoe kept busy as, on March 31 they traveled to Highlands Ranch and on April 1 were at Chaparral. The next home game was April 3 against district rival Heritage and the Warriors are at home April 7 to resume league competition against Cherokee Trail. Muller took time before the March 24 game to talk about his team and the coming season.

The coach said he feels his pitching depth will be a team strength this season.

“We have 10 guys who can pitch for us this season,” he said. “Eight of the guys are pitchers plus a couple more who can throw for us if needed.”

He said depth is also a strength.

“We had a decent hitting lineup plus we have guys on the bench who can come in if someone is not having a good day or we need a pinch hitter,” he said. “The same is true of our pitching staff.”

The Warriors are in the Centennial League, which Muller said means it will be a challenging season.

“The league is always tough,” he said. “We know Cherry Creek is always strong and Grandview will be tough. Really there are no easy games on the league schedule and I expect there will be six of the eight teams battling for the league championship.”

On March 24, Mullen broke a scoreless tie in the top of

Arapahoe left fielder Max Whitehead doesn’t swing at a high pitch during the March 24 game against Mullen. Whitehead had one of the Warriors’ three hits and drove in a run, but Mullen won the game, 10-2. Photos by Tom Munds the fourth inning with a walk and a double. The Mustangs kept the bats going in the fifth inning with key hits to push four runs across the plate.

Arapahoe responded in the bottom of the fifth with a pair of runs. The Warriors got two runners on base and profited from a Mullen balk to move the runners to second and third with one out. Another balk sent a runner home and William Metherd’s single drove in the Warrior’s second run of the game.

However, Mullen put the game out of reach with five runs in the top of the fifth and went on to win, 10-2.

Arapahoe collected three hits against Mullen. Warriors Max Whitehead and Jacob Goodman each had a double and Metherd’s RBI single accounted for Arapahoe’s third hit.

Senior Trevor Johnson was the starting pitcher for the Warriors. He went 4 2/3 innings. He gave up for hits, four earned runs and struck out three.

Catcher Jacob Schramm catches the ball he blocked with his chest during Arapahoe’s March 24 game against Mullen.

Schramm’s play kept a runner from advancing but the Mustangs got the key hits needed to win the game.

Young Pirates strive to hit stride Girls soccer team stumbled before break

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Englewood High School girls soccer team returns from spring break seeking to have the kinds of games the 2014 Pirates had in recording their 13-1-1 record.

While the Pirates had only one win going into spring break, coach Chris Kavinsky said his team is talented and expects them to rebound and have a good season.

He said the first post-break practice was scheduled March 30 and the first game on the schedule is the April 9 home game against league opponent and rival Elizabeth.

The Pirates then have a non-league home game April 11 against Denver South and a home game April 13 against Golden.

“We are a young team, but that can be a little misleading, because many of our players were freshmen who saw varsity action last season,” he said. “All the girls on the varsity and JV are good athletes, so I expect we’ll have a good season this year, plus I feel we are building a good program for future seasons.”

He said the Pirates did get off to a little bit of a rough start because of some injuries and a schedule compressed by bad weather.

The early March snows resulted in games being rescheduled, so Englewood played five games in eight days and went into spring break 1-4. They opened the season 0-2 with losses to D’Evelyn and Thom-

Gonzales is back with the team this season and is the earlyseason scoring leader. File photo as Jefferson before posting a 2-0 win over Abraham Lincoln on March 17. Englewood closed out the pre-break schedule with losses to Lewis Palmer and Thornton.

“We had key players out with injuries in those early games and that hurt us. But I expect all our players to be healthy coming off spring break,” the coach said. “The plan is for our team to practice hard so we will be ready for the first league game of the season.”

Kavinsky said he is pleased the Pirates have 35 girls out for soccer. The coach said Englewood will have full rosters for the varsity and junior varsity teams.

“We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores out for the team this year,” he said.

“Most of the young players are familiar with soccer because they played with youth teams. But we do have a few girls who have never played soccer before.”

Kavinsky’s goal is to establish a strong

girls soccer program at Englewood, and having a full roster for the JV is an important step to achieving that goal.

“The junior varsity is an opportunity for young players to learn our style of play,” he said. “It also is a chance to gain valuable high school soccer experience.”

Defense is expected to be a team strength this season, with returning three-year letter winners Dominic Daughtry and Julia Kline anchoring the line.

Ty Lucas has moved into the lineup as the starting goalie. Lucas, among the leading scorers for the basketball team, played goalie in youth soccer and was minding the net for the junior varsity last season.

Kavinsky said he has returning letterwinners on the midfield line and as strikers.

In the early season, the Pirates have scored five goals. Returning letter-winner Sydney Gonzales, a sophomore, is the scoring leader with two goals, and Jena Korinek has one goal and one assist. Teammates Tina Selimagic and Karin Bader each scored a goal for Englewood.

“Our focus is to take the next step in building our program,” Kavinsky said.

“We have talented athletes and we are using practices and the early games to put the right player in the right position to strengthen our team.”

He said the focus is to establish the flow of teamwork that is essential to winning soccer games.

“This is a sport that requires thinking ahead to be in the right spot to make the play,” the coach said. “There really are no set plays in soccer. It is all improvisation with players moving and working in harmony in response to the flow of the game.

Those are the goals we are working on.”

riors’ depth was vital to squeaking out a win over Mullen on March 25. Arapahoe managed to take a team victory despite only winning two events. Chris McCabe, 27.51, and Andrew Cole, 27.86, finished 1-2 in the 50 Free, finishing a full second in front of third place. In the 500 Free, Charles Maier, 5:57.23, and Merrill Redfearn, 6:01.86, matched McCabe and Cole’s 1-2 finish.
