Former teacher pleads guilty Alexandra McLean gets probation for relationship with boy By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The legal process has ended for a former Englewood High School teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a male student.
Alexandra Elizabeth McLean, 28, received no jail time as she pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges stemming from her relationship with a 17-yearold male student in 2011. She appeared before 18th Judicial District Judge McLean Marilyn Antrim to enter the guilty pleas on March 29. According to information from the judicial district, the fact McLean had been extremely truthful and remorseful about what
happened and the fact that it is unusual for a psychosexual evaluation not to recommend treatment were among the reasons she was allowed to plead to the lesser charges. When she appeared in court, McLean entered the guilty plea to the misdemeanor sexual assault charge and specifically to a subsection of the statute where the victim was younger than 17 and the defendant was more than 10 years older than the victim — even though the victim was two months from his 18th birthday. The judge sentenced McLean to two
years’ deferred judgment on that count. Successful completion of the deferred judgment will result in the misdemeanor sexual assault count being dismissed. However, she also entered a guilty plea without deferred judgment to misdemeanor second-degree official misconduct. The record can’t be sealed, she can never teach again and the charge will not be dismissed when she completes probation. She was sentenced to supervised probation for two years; she is not permitted to McLean continues on Page 9
DeGette meets with officials Focus of discussion was on national issues impacting Englewood By Tom Munds

The normal sounds of athletic competition in Englewood Recreation Center’s gymnasium were replaced April 5 by music and sounds of people having fun at the Daddy and Daughter Dance. “We decided to try it and we didn’t know what response we would have,” said Dave Parks, recreation program director for the dance, in the leadup to the event. “We thought we were going to cancel the event last week because of a lack of participation when we only had five dads signed up. Then the floodgates opened and we have about 65 dads registered for tonight’s dance.” Englewood Youth Council helped decorate the gym for the dance. There were tables wrapped in colorful material, matched with chairs set along both edges of the gym. A table of refreshments was set up just inside the door, and balloons were scattered around the floor. As dads checked in, they were given corsages for their daughters, who ranged in age from toddlers to several young ladies who were in their teens or almost in their teens. Scott Keslow attached the corsage to his 7-year-old daughter Elizabeth’s wrist and, while dad sat at the table, Elizabeth went out to kick balloons around the floor.
Democratic Congresswoman Diana DeGette joined Englewood city officials and council members April 3 to talk about how national issues like the 2013 sequester and proposed stricter wastewater treatment regulations will impact the city and its residents. DeGette, who represents Englewood as part of Colorado’s 1st District, said there was originally a time conflict because she was to attend the ceremonies surrounding President Obama’s visit to Denver. However, she said the meeting with Englewood was important, so arrangements were made to meet earlier so she could be at both events. The city prepared a list of issues for discussion, and City Manager Gary DeGette Sears said the top priority was to talk about the 2013 sequester and its impact on Englewood. The sequester is the first of automatic spending cuts required under the Budget Control Act, signed in August 2011 and designed to reduce federal spending by $1.5 trillion over the next 10 years. The sequester for fiscal year 2013 mandates across-the-board budget cuts of $85.4 billion, but some areas like Medicare and veterans’ benefits are exempted. “I think just about everyone agrees sequester is a horrible policy that cuts programs we all care about,” DeGette said. “The idea was to get the parties to work together to develop a balanced budget, but that still hasn’t happened.” She said she is already hearing about the impact of sequester on local community agencies. She asked that city officials forward information about the impact the spending cuts have on agencies and residents. Mayor Randy Penn said Meals on Wheels officials told him they expect program funding to be reduced because of sequester. “The Meals on Wheels people said they will be able to continue to provide for the current list of clients,” he said. “However, the funding reductions mean they can’t accept any new clients.” The congresswoman suggested city officials urge residents to contact members of Congress and urge them to take action to end the sequester. DeGette was asked about possible federal reaction to Amendment 64 legalizing recreational marijuana. “We have asked and not received any guidance from the Department of Justice on this issue,” she said. “I did introduce a bill that legalization of recreational mari-

Denver Bronco stands tall for kids You don’t want to be a running back, or a slot receiver who has the audacity to enter the area of the gridiron that Denver Broncos linebacker Wesley Woodyard patrols. But if you’re a kid who lacks Peyton Manning-like protection from life’s hard knocks, don’t worry. Wesley’s got your back. Woodyard paid a visit to the state Capitol last week to show his support for a legislative resolution that designates April as Child Abuse Awareness Month. The resolution, which was adopted by the General Assembly, calls upon “all citizens to educate themselves on how they can be the one to make a difference in the life of a child, and prevent child abuse and neglect.” Woodyard is no stranger to causes involving children. He often advocates on behalf of CASA — Court Appointed Special Advocates for children — and for his own charity, 16 Ways, which benefits kids from underprivileged backgrounds. “To me, it’s important to step up and be a part of the community,” Woodyard said in a recent interview with Colorado Community Media. “It only takes one person to make a difference in a child’s life. And when you’ve been given the platform that I’ve been given, it’s important to take advantage of it.” State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, a sponsor of the resolution, is involved in many child welfare-related issues at the
Legislature. She said that awareness of these types of causes is heightened whenever community members of Woodyard’s stature are involved. “Sometimes it’s the celebrity or somebody who can draw the attention of the community,” Newell said. “And he has been a great addition to the child abuse prevention community because he’s drawing in people who are sometimes not necessarily involved.” About the only thing that rivals Woodyard’s impact in the community is his play on the field — especially on the heels of his performance last season. Woodyard, 26, a Broncos team captain, had a breakout season at weak-side linebacker. He had career numbers in categories that included tackles, sacks and interceptions. But then there’s the way the season ended. As a lifelong Broncos fan, I can honestly say that I still haven’t gotten over January’s playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens. I remember collapsing on my couch after the game, like my heart had just been ripped
Tree sale marks Arbor Day Englewood receives award for the 28th straight year By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood will hold two separate Arbor Day celebrations, first putting on a treeclimbing demonstration April 19 and then holding a tree sale on April 20. The city’s Arbor Day celebration kicks off at 1:30 p.m. April 19 at Charles Hay World School. There will be a ceremony as Englewood is honored as a Tree City USA for the 28th year in a row. There will be a treeclimbing demonstration, and blue spruce seedlings will be distributed to all students. The event is open to the public, and Charles Hay World School is located at 3195 S. Lincoln St. Activities continue April 20 with the tree sale at Cushing Park. Jerry Barton, parks supervisor, said the first-come, first-served giveaway starts at 8 a.m. and will run until all 100 trees have been sold at $10 each. There will be a variety of trees available, but the sale is open only to Englewood residents and each resident can only purchase one tree.
out of my chest, straight out of some Aztec sacrifice ritual. Seriously, my voicemail and textmessage inbox was flooded that night with messages from concerned friends who were making sure that I hadn’t taken a leap from the top of downtown’s Republic Plaza. So, yes, it was a painful loss, to say the least — and that goes for the players, too. “It’s one of those things that I don’t think you get over,” Woodyard said. “But it motivates me. It motivates my teammates.” If the Broncos are going to advance further in the playoffs this season, they’re gonna have to do it without a key member of their defense. Pass rusher Elvis Dumervil, a fan favorite in the Mile City High since 2006, will be in a Ravens uniform this season, following a bizarre episode from last month that involved a signed, $8 million contract not being sent to the NFL in time for the league’s deadline. OK, so “bizarre” doesn’t do the incident justice. I mean, who transmits a document literally worth millions of dollars via a piece of machinery that gets less use out of it than a Donkey Kong Atari video game? What, carrier pigeons weren’t available? But, I digress. “I’m gonna miss Doom,” Woodyard said of Dumervil. “Doom was a role model to me. He taught me to be a man on and off the field. His leadership and play will be missed. “I talked to him the other day and I told him that I hope he breaks the sack record
in Baltimore, but not against us.” But there are plenty of things for Broncos fans to be excited about this season. Among them will be having another guy named Wes to cheer for on game days. “Oh, we’re very excited,” Woodyard said of the addition of Wes Welker to the Broncos receiving corps. “He’s an extreme competitor and we’re so happy to have him on board.” Not only is it gonna be nice to have the former New England Patriots standout on our team, Broncos players are just as thrilled about not having to defend against him. “Absolutely,” Woodyard said, laughing. “I know (Broncos cornerback) Chris Harris is excited about that. Those guys had some battles.” Woodyard recognizes that he and the Broncos did a lot of good on the field last season. But don’t think for a second that he doesn’t want to accomplish bigger and better things. “When you think you’ve arrived, that’s when you hit bottom,” he said. “It was a good season, but I could have done so much more. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to be where I am, but I’m looking forward to this season.” Vic Vela is the legislative reporter for Colorado Community Media.

Cushing Park is located at 795 W. Eastman Ave. The tree giveaway will be in the parking lot at the west end of the park. Both Arbor Day events are sponsored in part by the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission. Traditionally, there are commission members who volunteer to help with the Arbor Day activities. Arbor Day began in 1872 when J. Sterling Morton urged the State Board of Agriculture to set aside a special day to plant trees, with prizes to the counties and the individuals who planted the most trees.. The program was set and, on April 10, 1872, Nebraska residents responded by planting almost a million trees. In 1874 the governor of Nebraska officially established Arbor Day for the state. By the 1880s, other states had taken up the idea, and planting trees on Arbor Day was becoming an annual event in schools around the country. The Arbor Day Foundation was created in 1972, the centennial of the first Arbor Day celebration. The foundation was established to promote Arbor Day and planting trees. The foundation created the Tree City USA program about 30 years ago as another means of encouraging tree planting. Today, almost 3,500 communities have earned Tree City USA designation.

President promotes gun control in Denver
ages 13-18 Week-long camps in June & July $385/week
Obama praises state legislators for new laws By Vic Vela
ages 11-18 Week-long camps in June $350/week
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com
President Barack Obama talked about gun violence during a speech in Denver on April 3, while lauding recent gun-control measures that have been signed into state law, and touting Colorado as being “a model of what’s possible” at the national level. The president’s remarks at the Denver Police Academy highlighted gun laws that soon will go into effect in the state, including those that institute universal background checks on gun sales and place limits on high-capacity ammunition magazines. Citing recent massacres like last year’s shootings in Aurora and Connecticut, Obama said it’s now time for Congress to take up similar gun measures for implementation at the national level. “Every day that we wait to do something about it, even more of our fellow citizens are stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun,” Obama said. In Colorado, gun-control bills have dominated headlines this legislative session. So far, Gov. John Hickenlooper has signed three bills that have passed the Democratic-controlled General Assembly. Republicans scoff that the gun measures are nothing but “feel-good” efforts that only pers.hinder law-abiding citizens’ ability to obtain guns, while doing nothing to get the weapons out of the hands of criminals. Obama’s visit was met with some protests outside the police academy. And, earlier in the day, several Colorado sheriffs held a press event, denouncing further guncontrol efforts. But Obama sees value in passing gun measures. He said Congress needs to address the loopholes in the current national background-check system for gun purchases, as Colorado legislators have done with recent legislation here. Obama said that if a person wants to buy a gun, “you should at least have to go through a background check to show that you’re not a criminal, or someone legally prohibited from buying one.” The president cited statistics that indicate background checks often do keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. “So, this does work,” he said. “And, by the way, if you’re selling a gun, wouldn’t you want to know who you’re selling it to?
Register today! President Barack Obama addresses police officers and other audience members during a speech at the Denver Police Academy on April 3. Photo by Vic Vela Wouldn’t you want in your conscience to know that the person you’re selling to isn’t going to commit a crime?” Obama also said high-capacity ammunition magazines have no place in our communities. “I don’t believe that weapons designed for theaters of war have a place in movie theaters,” he said to applause. “Most Americans agree with that.” The president acknowledged the polarizing nature that surrounds the gun-control debate. He said Colorado is a state where hunting is a tradition, and where guns are “handed down from generation to generation.” “And they treat gun ownership with reverence and respect,” he said. At the same time, Obama said it’s important for people to understand where the other side is coming from on these issues. “There doesn’t have to be a conflict between protecting our citizens and protecting our Second Amendment rights,” the president said. Among those attending the speech were Hickenlooper and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. The two took part in a roundtable discussion on gun issues that involved Obama, prior to the president’s speech. Several state legislators also were attendance, including Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora. Fields — whose son was shot to death in 2005 and who sponsored some of the state’s gun legislation — said she felt that her work has been validated by Obama’s trip.
City officials attend president’s speech Mayor, police officers among those invited to Obama event By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood Mayor Randy Penn said it was a complete surprise when he was told he had been invited to be in the audience April 3, when President Barak Obama visited Denver to deliver a speech on gun control. Invitations were extended to Penn, along with Police Chief John Collins and two members of his staff. “It was new to me. I had never had the opportunity to attend a presidential event like this,” Collins said. “It was interesting to watch the event unfold. There were more media at the event than there were members of the audience.” Collins said he was with law enforcement officers gathered behind the presi-

dent. He said the event was well-organized, and being near the president of the United States is something he will always remember. Penn said he was given a ticket as a member of an audience of about 300 for the presidential appearance. The mayor said being near the president was everything he expected. He said it was a special feeling, like being close to a rock star. “When I arrived, I found out I was given the wrong ticket, which allowed me to be among 30 invited guests who took part in a roundtable discussion with President Obama,” he said. “The president just sat and chatted with those of us at the table. That was really a special memory for me.” He said his ticket gave him a seat in the front row for the speech, and got him the chance to shake Obama’s hand. The mayor said that, too, was special, and he hesitates to wash the hand the president shook.

A lot of color covers the walls and tops of bookshelves at the Englewood Public Library, as several hundred works created by young Englewood artists are on display for the annual Student Art Show. The art show opened April 4, and the artworks will be on display through April 30. The show is free and open to the public. Seven-year-old artist Cassidy Castaneda was joined by family members, including her great-grandmother, for the opening-day reception. “This was fun to make,” the girl said about her artwork depicting an elephant. “I have never seen an elephant, so we used what the teacher showed us. I liked that we got to wrinkle the paper, because an elephant’s skin is wrinkled.” She said the only change she would make to the artwork would be to make one of the the elephant’s legs bigger. But she said it is OK as it is, because not all animals are born the same. Preparations for the event began in earnest a few days before the April 4 opening, when Englewood School District art teachers and parent volunteers begin putting up the creations of Englewood students ranging from kindergartners through 12th-graders. The works include paintings, drawings, sculptures and other media. Generally, the works are put up by school to make it easier for the artists and their parents to find the specific works in the show. There are hundreds of pieces. Artworks cover most available walls, the tops of the bookshelves and the display cases, and some hang from the ceiling. Miranda McDowell searched until she found the sculpture of a girl she created. “I like art and I like creating pottery,” the Englewood High School senior said. “I like art because it is a way to express myself by being creative.” She also likes to draw, and she tries to draw anything that catches her attention. “I like to draw with pencil because, if you make a mistake, you can erase

Ellen Tieberg is a regular library user who has seen the art show in years past, but this is the first time she has come to the show with one of the artists. “I have seen the art for several years when I have come to the library and I have always been amazed by the quality of the art the students create,” she said. “This year is special because my son Christian is a kindergartner at Charles Hay World School and we came to see his artwork.” She said her son likes to draw and will do so on about anything, including using a marker to draw on the wall, an issue that is under discussion.

This is the last year that retiring Englewood High School teacher Sheila Olson will take part in the show. “We got the district art show started about 1990,” the art teacher said. “The first two years, it was at the high school, and then we moved it to the library so more people could enjoy the art.” She said there is a lot more diversity in the art show now than during the early years. Also, there are a lot of kids doing art now. “There are a lot of kids who are visual learners and I like to see them take up art as their voices, providing a variety of ways to express themselves,” she said.

Mayor pro tem receives two awards Englewood Elks, National League of Cities honor Woodward By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood resident Jim Woodward was honored twice in about a month for all his work for the community. In mid-March, he received the gold National League of Cities award for earning 50 credits attending NLC leadership classes. The award was presented during the NLC conference in Washington, D.C. He received his second award on March 30 when he was named the Citizen of the Year by Englewood Elks Lodge 2122. “I knew I was to receive the National League of Cities award. I actually completed the requirements in June 2012 but I didn’t receive the award until the March conference,” Englewood’s mayor pro tem said. “The Elks award was a complete surprise and I didn’t
even know the lodge was considering me for the award until they called me.” The NLC Gold Award requires a local official to earn 50 credits by attending classes in the five core areas of municipal leadership. He said he earned two credits for attending a four-hour class and eight credits for attending full-day programs. He earned his first credits in 2006. “I spent the time in these classes because I felt the material was valuable and I learned information I was able to bring back to our community,” he said. Woodward is one of the 271 NLC members to have reached the Gold level in the Certificate of Achievement in Leadership program since its inception. He was honored as Citizen of the Year during the March 30 awards night at the Englewood Elks Lodge 2221 that included honoring police officers, firefighters and members of the lodge. Marty Murphy, lodge secretary, made the presentation. She said it was an honor to present the award to Woodward.

Jim Woodward was born and raised in Minot, S.D., and visited Colorado the first time in 1969 on his way to San Francisco. He eventually moved to Colorado to stay in 1974, working part time in building maintenance while he went to school at what was then Metropolitan State College.

He was majoring in human services and psychology but decided that wasn’t the field for him, left school and took a position managing a group of commercial office buildings. That eventually led him to the real estate field. He earned his broker’s license in 1980 and worked in that field for 12 years, several of them as head of his own company. He took a position as a director of leasing for a firm and did that until 2002, when the firm was sold to a larger company and he decided to semi-retire. He began his volunteer work in the city in 1999 as he accepted appointments to the parks and recreation commission and to the urban renewal authority. Woodward was appointed to the city council in 2004, successfully ran for a full term in 2005 and again in 2009. On the council he served as mayor for a pair of twoyear terms.

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com City council action April 1 cleared the way for crews hired by Englewood’s Concrete Utility to begin work in late spring to remove and replace sidewalks, curbs and gutters adjacent to about 420 homes as well as to do repair work on city-owned concrete. This year’s project will cost about $431,000, plus there will be additional $67,250 contingency fee if needed. The project isn’t paid for entirely by the city, because of fees paid by members of the utility, with city funds to pay for work on city-owned concrete. “We are recommending the same contractor we used last year
because we were very satisfied with the quality of the work done for us,” said Dave Henderson, public works administrator. “This year’s project plans for the contractor to do work at about 420 residential locations as well as work in some alleys and on some other city-owned concrete such as corner curbs, alley entrances and concrete alleys.” During the discussion on approving the contract, Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said the concrete utility is a service for Englewood residents. “Membership in the utility is like an insurance policy,” he said. “Residents who are part of the utility pay a small fee and, when the concrete in front of their homes need work, it is done by the utility at no charge to the homeowner.” He added that, in most municipalities, when concrete is determined to need work, the city notified the property owner pay the cost of getting the concrete repaired.

There will be a lot of scenes like this starting in late spring, when concractors hired by the city begin doing repair work for the Englewood Concrete Utility. File photo For decades, it was the same in Englewood, with property owners responsible for total cost of repair of the sidewalk, curb and gutter in front of their property. If a property owner couldn’t afford to have the work done, the city could contract to have the bad
concrete replaced and place a lien against the property for the cost of the work, which was paid off when the property was sold. In 1997, in an effort to ease the financial burden of concrete repair, Englewood became the first city in the country to set up a con-
crete utility. When Rick Kahm introduced the 1997 proposal to the CityBy V Council, he said it was a simplevvela system that allows property owners to join the utility, pay an annu- D al fee, and when that individual’sveile concrete is repaired, the utilitycal h pays the bill. cont Membership in the utility isstate voluntary.

Measure would extend work program City selects 11 award nominees Plan allows partial benefits for employees with reduced hours By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com State lawmakers have voted to renew a rarely used program that gives struggling businesses an alternative to laying off employees. Senate Bill 157, which has passed both chambers of the Democratic-controlled General Assembly on party-line votes, would extend the Colorado Work Share Program indefinitely. The program gives businesses the opportunity to keep their workers at reduced hours, rather than layReport ing them off altogether. Under the program, which businesses can enter into on a voluntary basis, employees receive prorated unemployment benefits to compensate for the loss of hours. Workers can receive up to 26 weeks of prorated unemployment benefits through Colorado Work Share, under recent federal changes made to the program. The program receives federal money for reimbursement, rather than adversely affecting the state’s Unemployment Insurance Fund. Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada, a House sponsor of the bill, said the program allows businesses that are going through a “temporary tough time” to keep skilled workers, instead of losing them. Kraft-Tharp said in a recent interview that the program helps companies like Vestas Wind Systems, which has reduced employees’ hours

at their Brighton, Pueblo and Windsor windpower factories. “This is a pretty specialized field,” she said. “We don’t want to lose those people, or have them move away.” The Work Share program, which was put in place in 2010, and is administered under the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, had to be taken up again by the General Assembly because it is scheduled to sunset in July. The bill keeps the program going, while making adjustments to keep it in line with federal guidelines. Kraft-Tharp acknowledges that the program isn’t well-known, and that only a handful of Colorado businesses are taking advantage of it. But she expects that to change soon. “There was no money for Department of Labor staff time when it passed in 2010, so the state has not been able to promote this,” she said. “But, with the new changes, we can access federal grants, so we can allocate staff time to support it.” Republicans are opposed to the continuation of the program. The bill passed the Senate without any GOP support in March, and again in the House on April 2. Rep. Brian DelGrosso, R-Loveland, said during a recent debate on the House floor that businesses that pay into the state’s unemployment insurance trust fund could essentially end up paying the wages for competitors’ workers, even though the workers are still employed there. “So, potentially you can have a competitor down the street paying for the employees of a fellow competitor somewhere else in town,” DelGrosso said. But Kraft-Tharp sees value in the program. “The bottom line is, if you’re going to be laid off … and if we can help you, we’re going to help you,” she said. “It’s about keeping people employed and keeping their paychecks coming home.”

FOR THE
Young people recognized for dealing with challenges By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood City Council shined the spotlight on a special group of young men and women, selected as the city’s 11 nominees for this year’s Arapahoe County Mayors and Commissioners Awards. The city program honors young men and women 13 to 19 years old who live in or attend school in Englewood and who have overcome personal obstacles to serve their family, school and community. They will represent the city as the Arapahoe County commissioners evaluate nominees from communities throughout the county. The presentation to the award nominees was at the top of the April 1 city council agenda. Mayor Randy Penn welcomed the friends, families and the nominees to the council meeting. “Each of these young people has overcome difficulties in their lives,” he said. “We also honor them for how they have persevered to make differences in their own lives and the lives of others. We admire what you have achieved and we are pleased to honor each of you individually.” Leigh Ann Hoffhines, the city communications coordinator, also coordinates Englewood’s participation in the Arapahoe County Mayors and Commissioners Award program. She read each of the names of the city’s nominees and quoted comments from the individual
who nominated the young man or woman for the award. Frequently used comments included, “a role model,” “makes a positive impact on classmates and the school,” and “is always helpful to others.” Penn handed out the certificates and gift cards to the city’s nominees. The other six members of the council lined up to congratulate and shake the hand of each of the nominees. The young men and women the city honored were: • Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School — Jennifer Dickerson, Hally Fields, Angela Hancock, Kayleigh Jarman, Fidel Navarrette, Sara Nusickel and Maja Sehic. • Englewood Middle School: Brittany Dean, Yesenia Holguin and Nicholas Spence. • Englewood High School: Shane Menefee. The names of the city’s representatives will be forwarded to Arapahoe County. On April 29, a committee representing the Arapahoe County commissioners will consider nominees from communities throughout the county for county honors. The program began in 1986. For several years, the YMCA organized and took the lead for the program and the awards. In 1999, nine counties joined together to establish Metro Mayors Commissioners Youth Association as an independent organization. The final association awards event was in 2010. Since then, Arapahoe and several other counties have continued programs to honor the achievements of special young men and women.

pressing concern over key requirements of boutthe legislation and worry that the bill could woodrun up the cost of doing business with the . state. erage House Bill 1292 was announced at a Capa 10-itol press conference, where it was touted as walk 50 to
a bill that will “reform state procurement,” the bidding process for state work projects. Rep. Dan Pabon, D-Denver, said the legislation will “promote local hiring, domestic manufacturing, and will help stop the outsourcing of jobs with taxpayer money.” “Our number one job is boosting our state’s economy and connecting more Coloradans to good jobs,” Pabon said. “One way to do that is to ensure that state funds, our taxpayer dollars, go to hire Colorado workers and support Colorado businesses.” The bill would expand the state’s “best value” bidding process, to include factors beyond low bidding in awarding contracts, such as the availability of Colorado workers and whether domestic materials like iron and steel are being used for state-backed projects. The bill also would put in place financial penalties for companies that do not meet a current legal threshold, which requires that 80 percent of all taxpayer-backed state project labor be conducted by Colorado workers. Sen. Andy Kerr, D-Lakewood, said that the 80 percent requirement has been on the books since 1933, but that the jail penalty

jsmith@ourcoloradonews. com It was a good plan that almost came together, but it still had a great outcome. Spurred on by patriarch Jay, the Foonberg family rallied in support of one of their own April 7 during the South Platte River Half Marathon in Littleton. Jay, 77, started running marathons just 20 years ago but has since finished races on all seven continents. He’s currently on a quest to run half marathons in 25 states — “half in half,” he says. “I’m no jock. I’m nothing special,” he said. “I just do them to say I did them. I’m no hero. I’d just rather be surrounded by young, healthy people than old people like me.”
When he found the half marathon in Littleton, the Los Angeles resident jumped at the chance to visit his son, David, a Jefferson County resident. “I thought, `Wouldn’t it be great if we ran one together?’” said Jay. Fortuitously, David’s cousin Michael, a cancer survivor, had a big event of his own the same week. On April 9, the Greenwood Village resident accepted the Courage Award from the Melanoma Research Foundation during its annual Wings of Hope for Melanoma Gala. So the family decided to tie the two together. David signed up his business, Littleton Drum Studio, to sponsor the marathon, and about 30 Foonbergs, friends and relatives ran — or walked — it in Michael’s honor, including Michael himself. “My father unknowingly did a great thing by giving
Aircraft firms’ tax credit gets support Bill aims to boost employment in state By Vic Vela
vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A bill that would expand tax incentives for the purpose of new hires in the state’s aviation field is flying through the Legislature with bipartisan support. House Bill 1080 modifies the 2005 Aircraft Manufacturer New Employee Tax Credit, which provides a one-time $1,200 tax credit for a new employee that is hired by an aircraft manufacturer. The bill expands the available tax incentives to manufacturers that provide aircraft maintenance, repair and modification services, which were not included in the bill from eight years ago. Rep. Chris Holbert, R-Parker, a bill

at this time. But they did express concern over the 80 percent requirement, especially over how it’s enforced. Some who testified said that, for example, it would be difficult for contractors to ensure they are working with Coloradobased materials. “That’s a complicated process,” said Craig Clark of Dynaelectric, an electrical contracting company. “We have a tough enough time identifying a U.S. project.” Republican members of the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee also expressed concern that contractors would be penalized over things that would be difficult for them to control, such as whether those in the process are being honest about whether labor and materials are Colorado-based. “There’s absolutely no way in this free market system that everyone is going to be truthful,” said Rep. Ray Scott, R-Grand Junction. “It gets into the weeds so deep and puts such a burden on a general contractor.” The committee ran out of time during the hearing and will vote on the matter at another time.

for company owners who do not abide by the law has not been enforced. Kerr said the bill would replace jail time with financial penalties for companies that do not comply, with fees as high as $25,000 when violations are found. “We are putting some teeth into a law that is already in existence,” Kerr said. “And we are making sure that it is feasible for it to be followed, as well.” The bill takes a “three strikes and you’re out” approach to companies that do not comply with the law, which could result in a company no longer being able to do business with the state. Enforcement will be up to the state Department of Personnel and Administration and the state Department of Labor and Employment. “If somebody violates those rules, there’s going to be consequences,” Pabon said. But representatives of the contracting field were not exactly jumping out of their seats with excitement over the bill, during a legislative committee hearing that followed the press event. Some had neutral positions on the bill, saying they just don’t know enough about the legislation or its cost to form an opinion
sponsor, said it’s important to extend the existing earned tax credits in an effort to attract high-paying jobs in a growing field, rather than having planes fly to other states just for the purposes of having repairs done. “We have to recognize that big carriers like United or Frontier, when they need to maintain an airplane, very often they’ll fly it to Wisconsin or Chicago to do the work there, and then bring it back,” he said. “I think it’s ridiculous that Colorado is losing out on those job opportunities. Why not do that maintenance, why not do more of that final fit and finish kind of work while they’re on the ground here?” Holbert said he was approached about the idea for the bill by representatives from Centennial Airport, which has runways that extend into Holbert’s Douglas County legislative district. Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers said Colorado is in a tough competition with other states for tax
incentives for aviation jobs. “Twelve hundred dollars in tax credits doesn’t sound like a whole lot,” Olislagers said. “But, if you add that in with other incentives that Colorado counties are providing, it starts to add up.” Olislagers also said he hopes the bill will create more aviation jobs for veterans, especially when it comes to work that involves modifications of military aircraft. The bill passed the Democraticcontrolled House on April 5 by a vote of 61-2, with two members excused from the vote. “It’s a growing industry in Colorado,” said bill co-sponsor Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada. “This bill helps aircraft manufacturers by being able to hire employees.” The bill now heads to the Senate, where it will be sponsored by Republican Sen. Ted Harvey of Highlands Ranch.
(Michael) a huge distraction the past several months, one that also made him healthier,” said David. Michael, a high-school basketball coach, has always been active, and training for the race helped him get back in shape after treatment. “But it’s kind of bittersweet, because he’s just been diagnosed with thy-
roid cancer,” said David. “It’s kind of hard to celebrate a year free of cancer when it just started over.” Michael finished the race in a respectable two hours and 38 minutes. But Jay, the man who started it all, hit a snag. He couldn’t acclimate to the Colorado elevation, and ended up not running. “I am glad my father wasn’t foolish,” said David.

opinions / yours and ours
Amid tragedy is forgiveness, accountability Forgiveness itself is not often a topic in an editorial, but the recent words of Lisa Clements, wife of slain Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements, inspire food for thought. She stood with her two daughters by her side at her husband’s service March 25 in Colorado Springs and said, “We pray for forgiveness and peace for the family of the man suspected of taking Tom’s life, and we pray every day for forgiveness and peace in our own hearts.” She noted she shares her husband’s belief in redemption and the ability for the human heart to be changed. Her comments echo many other expressions of forgiveness in news reports
our view through the years. One surely was the reaction of the Amish community in Lancaster, Pa., after a 32-year-old gunman killed several girls in a one-room schoolhouse before killing himself in 2006. While the Amish community was not inclined to interact with the media, its stance was clear to not think evil of the gunman and instead pray for the shooter’s family,
which was further conveyed by neighbors who interacted with the tight-knit community. Some Amish even reached out to comfort the family of the gunman. Although the level of forgiveness to some surely seemed too generous, it seemed to quiet the surrounding community as it respectfully honored the perspective of its neighbors, the direct victims of the shooting. We noticed a similar effect following Lisa Clements’ thoughtful statements. The complex mix of grieving, accountability and forgiveness is too much for any one editorial, but we venture to say the heart does not so quickly follow the mind once someone has decided to forgive.
And while each person’s offer of forgiveness is based on various factors — such as whether remorse is expressed — a commitment to forgiveness reflects the best in all of us, a step toward mending and somehow improving the future to come. In a recent CNN interview, Lisa Clements said she could be enraged but chooses not to be angry with news that an errant court proceeding allowed the gunman to be released from prison four years early. She said she will not let it consume her. While she supports this need for accountability, we admire her strength as she champions a commitment to forgiveness and the steadfast view she shared with her husband that people can change.
Finding the right level of tolerance M Will the Rockies be improved this season? in question of the week
The Colorado Rockies have a new manager and have brought in a number of new players for this season. We asked people at
several south metro-area locations if they thought the changes would help the Rockies play better baseball this year.
“I believe they will be a better team than they were last year. I believe new manager Walt Weiss will bring more energy to the team and I think they have made moves that have strengthened the pitching staff.” —Trevor Johnson, Denver
“I guess I think the Rockies will be better this season because I am always optimistic at the start of the season. I really like the attitude Walt Weiss has brought to the team. … I think they will win more than half their games this season.” — Brian Ewert, Centennial
“I do think they will be improved. Several top players are back from injuries and they have some new people on the roster. Also, Walt Weiss as the new manager will teach them to improve on the little things they have to do to win games.” —Tom O’Connor, Englewood
“I think the Rockies will do all right .... Pitching has improved and I believe Manager Walt Weiss will have the players working on fundamentals and he will show them how not to do those little things they do when they beat themselves.” —Doug Severinson, Elizabeth
April, don’t be cruel I happen to like April. I think April is a month of optimism, which is saying something, because I humbug just about everything. “If anything can go wrong, it will.” If I dropped one hundred slices of Wonder Bread coated with peanut butter, 98 of them would land peanut butter down. I know it. I’ve known two girls named April, and both of them were beautiful. Maybe that has something to do with it, why I like April. One of them, this is the absolute truth, was named April May. I think she was a June bride, and took the name of her husband, which messed up one of the greatest names ever. I guess April May sounds like it could be the name of an adult film star too. T. S. Eliot wasn’t as thrilled with April as I am. He wrote “The Waste Land” in 1922, and it starts this way: April is the cruellest month, breeding Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain At the time Eliot was writing “The Waste Land” his marriage was failing, and he was suffering from a nervous disorder. There you go. Of course he’s not going to write “April is the coolest month” if he is miserable. He could have been referring to Tax Day-month too. Income tax became permanent in 1913 with the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and income tax day typically falls on April 15. I always enjoy seeing stories about people who file at the last minute, driving to the post office, and saying, “Whew!” I finish my tax returns in February. I have an accountant, a great accountant. “Why don’t you just use TurboTax?” I was asked. “Because I have a great accountant,” is always my answer. My accountant and his daughter have been doing my taxes for over 20 years. I would miss them. I am right-brained, so tax codes and forms are a foreign language. My accountant approaches taxes very differently than I ever could. He works with numbers the way I work with colors. He seems to enjoy it, navigating information into compliancy.
I have decided that I will paint for another 10 years, and then quit. And then there will be no more deductions for paintbrushes and stretcher bars. I might be able to do my own taxes again, like I did when I was in college. Clip a W-2 to a one-page form, and be done in five or ten minutes. That would be a relief. But right now I have a slew of categorized envelopes, that turn into rounded-off numbers, that detail every thing I spent and earned as a artist. I’m giving April the benefit of the doubt, and I doubt everything. I think there are crueler months, for one thing. July and August? You can have them. If I had to live in St. Louis in July and August, my poem would start out, “July and August are the cruellest months, and the Cardinals are 16 games back.” April is OK with me. Winter is over, and things are blossoming. It’s impossible to be a total grouch when things are blossoming. The derivation of the name is uncertain, but the belief is it comes from the Latin aperire, “to open,” which makes sense, because it’s the season when trees and flowers begin “to open.” April has become infamous for another reason, namely 4:20 p.m. on April 20. Be sure to have some Cheetos handy. Ironically, April is “National Poetry Month.” Somewhere a poet will recite “The Waste Land” to an audience, that might not agree with her, because right outside the lilacs are lilacking away.

So what is an acceptable level of tolerance? I guess the answer is really situational, as in some instances we can be or become extremely tolerant and in other cases find our patience being tried and maybe even fried. Thresholds vary based on our personality and are shaped by our life experiences. For example, someone who has been living with chronic pain or frequent injuries may have built up a tolerance to pain. Treatments and therapies that used to be exceedingly painful have become more tolerable. Aches and pains that were so severe that they sidelined us from life’s activities have given way to our desire to do more. I know many people in this very situation right now. They are suffering from bad backs, hips, knees, cancer, diabetes and other debilitating diseases. I have seen these same people rise to the occasion and get themselves to an acceptable level of tolerance associated with their pain. The pain or hurt doesn’t go away, it’s just that over time they have conditioned themselves to accept as much as they possibly can. What about at work? Where do we draw the line and hold people accountable for performance and productivity? What is our acceptable level of tolerance when either our staff or our managers are not working at the expected level of performance? We can choose to ignore it and hope it will get better, which never works, or we can have a calm and productive discussion and re-set expectations for everyone. I know for me personally, as a leader or manager and even as an employee, I always felt like others were not keeping up with my pace. This included my managers and senior executives. In this case it was not a matter of having a discussion with others and re-setting expectations, it was about me realizing that I needed to adjust my acceptable level of tolerance. Once I made that adjustment and got to that point of acceptance, I became less resentful and much more productive.

How much are we tolerating in our relationships? Do our partners, spouses, children, parents, and friends support us and do everything they can to make us feel appreciated, respected and loved? And if not, do we accept that, sweep it under the rug, and again hope that it gets better? It never works. We need to share with everyone what we are willing to accept and tolerate and what we are not. And as difficult as that may sound, once the conversations have happened in most cases things will begin to get much better. And as a consumer, as a customer, what is our acceptable level of tolerance? We can choose to continue to shop or eat or drink at places where we don’t feel appreciated and receive poor service, or we can decide that there are probably better options, a store, restaurant or bar where the attention to customer service and quality surpasses our expectations. The point is this: We are in control. We get to determine what we will accept and what we will not. We set the thresholds of tolerance, not anyone else. It is a freeing and liberating feeling when we finally get to that point and our opportunities to enjoy life increase proportionally. How about you — what are you willing to tolerate? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and my hope is that this will be a better than good week for you.

She then asked if Englewood could weather the challenges. “We are pretty well positioned right now,” Penn said. “Revenues are up and we are seeing development projects getting underway.

“My daughter decided it would be a good idea for us to come to the dance tonight,” Scott said. “She said she thought it would be fun, and I think it will be fun too.” A special booth was set up in a corner of the gym where dads and daughters could select funny hats and things to have their photos taken. Jaden Serpico, 3, selected hats her family would wear. The group that included Jaden, John and Justin Serpico and Katie Allard posed for photos with the hats and then posed for photos as a family. They all agreed it was a good way to start a fun evening. The music varied from old-time rock ‘n’ roll to more modern numbers. Some of the young girls invented their own steps to the faster tunes, while there was some traditional dancing to some of the slower songs. A few dads picked up their young daughters to dance, like Gabriel Orozco and his 5-year-old daughter, Isabel.
“This is a beautiful event and it is huge for me,” Gabriel said during a break in the music. “My wife and I separated and this is the first time I’ve had Isabel. We are having a good time and I asked her if she wants to come with me next year and she said yes.” It seemed almost all the couples knew how to join in for the chicken dance and for the hokey pokey. The disc jockey had a hula-hoop contest for the daughters, and most girls kept the hoops going for at least a minute or so. When it was the dads’ turn, the hoops quickly fell. The comment was that daughters need to give their dads hoop lessons. Sofia Novosau was one of those good with the hula hoop. She said she liked to dance with her dad. “This is great and I like the chance to be with dad,” the 8-year-old said. “He works hard so I don’t get to see him or do a lot of things with him. This is great fun for me and for dad.”

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK sale. We wrote one-page contracts. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell Char Schmitz What is your specialty and what does that mean for the a house? Real Estate Broker Broker’s Guild Classic 303-320-0515 720-271-2249 charschmitz@msn.com Where were you born? Denver, CO How long have you lived in the area? I’ve lived in CO all my life. What do you like most about it? Metro Denver is an exciting and beautiful city. Known as the city of parks, they are everywhere! We host several top professional teams: the Nuggets basketball team, the Bronco’s football team, the Avalanche hockey team and the Rockies baseball team. Once called a cow town, the best of theaters and plays can now be found in Metro Denver! The dining here is awesome – some of the best in the nation. We are within an hour’s drive to the mountains and 4-wheel driving, skiing, hiking, camping and scenic drives. Rich in history, museums are dynamite here. How long have you worked in Real Estate? I became a real estate broker in the 70’s. I had to drive areas and look for homes for
people you work with? I’m a great negotiator and very good at getting the best price and terms for the buyer or seller I represent What is the most challenging part of what you do? Usually takes up to two months to close on a property. I work very hard to make every transaction go smoothly. I always want the buyer and seller to walk away happy. What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I love to go through old ghost towns in the mountains with my husband in our jeep. I love playing poker with my ladies club. Spending time with my grandchildren is awesome!
Ask your broker for simple suggestions to make your home stand out. Pack away what you don’t need right now. Ask your broker to show you what comparable homes have sold for before pricing your home. What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Definitely, make an appointment with a mortgage broker. Your real-estate broker can help you find one. Ask the lender what you can qualify for and what types of loans are available to you. Look at your personal budget and see what you can afford. Consider your needs and then your wants. What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in Real Estate? My client and I went to the door, and there was a naked lady who opened the door and invited us in.
WE BELIEVE ENERGY STAR IS JUST A STARTING POINT.
WE ARE NEW TOWN BUILDERS. R
We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and sustainable building techniques. The thicker walls in our New Town Builders’ high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we can get 2 ½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill! Talk to us about building your (surprisingly affordable) energy-efficient new home.

Buying a home? Avoid these mistakes
T
he dream of home ownership is one that lives on in spite of the global economic struggles. The process of buying a home can be an emotional roller coaster ride, with feelings of excitement
mixed in with exhaustion, fear and uncertainty. Over the last several years, the real estate market has been turned upside down, and many prospective buyers have begun to question some of the conventional wisdom associ-
ated with buying a home. While such skepticism might be a healthy attitude in the current market, prospective buyers -- particularly those who have never purchased a home before -should avoid the following mistakes that buyers make
regardless of whether the market is up or down. * Failure to get qualified beforehand. Mortgage qualification is essential when buying a home, as it gives buyers preapproval for a loan before they make any offers. Making an offer on a home before you know what the bank is willing to lend you is a waste of time for everyone involved, including you, the seller and the real estate agents involved. Some agents will not show a home if you don’t have a preapproval. Once preapproved for a loan, don’t take any steps that might put that approval in jeopardy. This includes anything that might drastically alter your credit score. * Being blindsided by additional costs. Firsttime homebuyers, once they have moved into their home, often experience some sticker shock when the additional expenses associated with home ownership arise. These additional expenses include property tax and insurance costs and can be substantial. Even those buying a condominium or co-op should expect monthly maintenance fees
even if their new place is brand new and needs no maintenance. * Shooting for the moon. The ongoing recession is in part the result of predatory lending that saw banks grant excessive loans to applicants who, in hindsight, could not actually afford all that they were approved to borrow. The result was many people buying homes they could not afford, and then suffering some steep consequences, including foreclosure, when the first mortgage payment came due or the interest rate rose. First-time and even veteran buyers must avoid shooting for the moon when it comes to buying a home, and instead only buy one they know they can afford. What the banks says you can afford isn’t always the same as what you know you can afford. Only buy a home you know you can afford, regardless of whether the bank has approved you for a larger loan. * Pigeonholing yourself into an inadequate living situation. Just like buyers shouldn’t go overboard, they also must avoid compromising on the things that are most important to
them. For example, many of today’s buyers, fully aware of the rash of foreclosures and all the housing horror stories of the last several years, are reticent to commit to a home, and might compromise with a condo or co-op. But if a home is what you really want, and another living situation that mirrors apartment life is going to make you miserable, don’t settle for that situation for the sake of security. Doing so could cost you financially, especially when you realize the situation isn’t what you’d hoped for and look to sell earlier than is ideal. * Skimping on the cost of an inspector. An inspector is your last chance to find out if a home is your dream home or a money pit. Even if a house appears to be everything you want, don’t close on the sale until the house has been thoroughly inspected. The old adage that advises against judging a book by its cover certainly applies to buying a home, and prospective buyers should enlist the services of a qualified inspector before closing on the sale of a home. ■ Metro Creative Services

Play spotlights music legend Hank Williams drama offers humor, sadness By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Hank Williams: Lost Highway” is onstage at Lone Tree Arts Center through April 14 — a revisit of a show originally workshopped at the Denver Center for Performing Arts in 1986/87. Director Randal Mylar and music director Dan Wheetman took it to the Manhattan Ensemble Theatre offBroadway in 2002, and it has played across the U.S. in subsequent years. They recently brought the John Denver Holiday Concert to Lone Tree. The production, co-produced by Starkey Theatrix and Lone Tree Arts Center, shows the polish it has acquired, featuring an Equity cast of experienced performers who make it all look easy as they revisit the music and life of this extremely talented/ extremely conflicted American legend. Hank Williams shot to the national scene from backwoods Alabama, recording a total
if you go “Hank Williams: Lost Highway” plays through April 14 at Lone Tree Arts Center, 10075 Commons St. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 1:30 p.m. Sunday. Tickets start at $29, 720-509-1000, LoneTreeArtsCenter.org/hank. of 35 singles. After a stretch on Grand Ole Opry — and being fired from that show — he died of an overdose in the back seat of his baby blue Cadillac at age 29. Of those 35 songs, 11 hit number one and have become part of our national fabric, and the 20 songs interwoven into this smoothly composed biographical story all sound familiar. Backed by a versatile band, Hank sings of loneliness and sadness, “Lovesick Blues,” as well as some upbeat numbers such as “Hey Good Lookin’.” Ryan Nearhoff, a New York-based actor and musician, certainly resembles the online photos of Williams. He is believable in song style and in his picture of a man disintegrating publicly due to alcohol and drugs. His backup band members — who eventually had to give up on him — are all well-de-
veloped characters, and three of them have toured with this production elsewhere. Mama Lily, who helped launch Hank’s career, is played by Denver favorite Kathleen Brady, who belts out songs with spirit throughout. His wife Audrey, who also tied into his career, is played by Jamie Ann Romero, and the waitress in Pete’s Diner, who enjoys Hank’s radio broadcasts and dances to the rhythms at the front edge of the stage, is award-winning Denver actor Rhonda Brown. Mississippi Charles Bevel plays blues singer Tee-Tot, who taught Hank to play the guitar and sing early on. He is woven into the storyline intermittently from his corner of the stage. Denver audiences know him from the fine production of “It Aint Nothin’ But the Blues” produced some years ago at the Denver Center. Humor and sadness mix in this account of an American favorite. It is skillfully staged, with an overlay of lighting that gives the production a soft patina. It merits a visit for the quality of performances.
Street art inspires abstract works ‘Whitewash’ on display in Santa Fe district
if you go Space Gallery is located at 765 Santa Fe Drive, in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District. Hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays; 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. 303623-3448.
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcolorado news.com “Whitewash,” is Patricia Aaron’s title for a group of six new ink and encaustic paintings to be exhibited in a group show at Space Gallery in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District, where she is a new member. The exhibit runs from April 19 to June 1. She will be present at an opening reception from 6-9 p.m. April 19. She writes that the new works were inspired by a recent trip to Key West, where she explored behind the tourist facades to find exuberant street art, graffiti, filling walls along alleys, underpasses and schoolyards. Whitewash is the community’s method to eradicate the art. For more than 20 years, Aar-
“Ohio Painting” is included in Patricia Aaron’s new exhibit, “Whitewash,” at Space Gallery, 30”x 30”, ink and encaustic. Courtesy photo on, of Greenwood Village, has been researching rogue art as historical record. She finds references pre-dating the ancient
Greek, Roman and Egyptian civilizations. Her chosen medium for interpreting her responses to
graffiti is a combination of ink and encaustic — beeswax with pigment — layered precisely to present rich, sometimes translucent effects. Her works are abstract, with suggestions of words and other markings buried in them. This technique of making art dates to ancient times and retains shape and color. The painter melts beeswax, adds pigment to small batches and brushes it on a panel in thin layers. When a layer is completed, it is carefully heated with a torch to seal the color. The end result is a complex, inviting painting with a rich, smooth, almost glassy surface through which one can see previously applied layers of color and texture.
Remember when “take me out to the ball game” meant a meal of peanuts and crackerjack along with a hot dog and beer? So imagine what a healthy home run that Aramark, Coors Field’s exclusive concessionaire, is hitting with the introduction of a sustainable garden located at Gate A of the ball field. The Colorado Rockies and Aramark have partnered with The Institute for the Built Environment at Colorado State University and Designs by Sundown to produce the on-site garden, which will provide the concessionaire with herbs and vegetables for use in Coors Field’s Mountain Ranch Club menu and build-your-own salad station. The design of “The Garden,” which is its official name, mimics a baseball stadium, with raised beds terracing upward from The Garden’s “infield” to the outfield and then to the stands. Ornamental flowers, followed by herbs, followed by vegetables will be on display for fans that pass through Gate A over the course of the Rockies’ season. The beds will be constructed of beetle kill pinewood sourced from Morgan Timber Products of Fort Collins. The plantings will be propagated at CSU from seeds adapted to the Colorado climate. The installation of The Garden marks a further commitment by the Rockies and Aramark to develop environmentally friendly programs in alignment with Major League Baseball’s recent green focus. On the other side of the snack spectrum, Aramark has added plenty of indulgent items that first were offered with last the April 5 home opener. They are: • Sausage on a stick — Italian, smoked cheddar, spicy Polish sausage. • Carnitas nachos — tortilla chips smothered in green chili queso topped with pork carnitas, jalapenos, pico de gallo and sour cream. • Smothered empanada — topped with former Bronco Mark Schlereth’s Stinkin’ Green Chili, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo and sour cream. • Pizza nachos — fresh fried pizza dough chips topped with house-made marinara sauce, shredded mozzarella, diced pepperoni and sausage. • Rib eye sandwich — a 4-ounce rib eye served with sliced Havarti horseradish cheese, topped with onion tanglers and tangy gold barbecue sauce. • Souvenir refillable popcorn.
Laird lands at Sarto’s
Since talented chef Brian Laird left Barolo Grill, after a 12-year stint in command of the kitchen, he bounced around Denver’s dining scene between the nowshuttered Russo’s in the Vallagio development in Arapahoe County to the nowshuttered RockBar on East Colfax to Sketch at 101 Broadway. I don’t think that Laird knew what he wanted to do when he grew up. But the boy wonder (he looks younger than his years) finally has landed at a spot I think he can call home. Sarto’s, a northern Italian eatery poised to open in the fall in a vacant century-old property at the corner of Eliot Street and 25th Avenue, will be the centerpiece of an emerging neighborhood between Highland and Sports Authority Field. Laird and majority owners Taylor Swallow and Kjsa Gotlin share a passion for northern Italian cuisine, which will be adapted to reflect contemporary tastes. Parker continues on Page 18

pirates lacrosse winning games Players will return to field April 13 against Rangeview By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
Unlike the last few years, a lacrosse game against Englewood no longer means an automatic win, because this season the Pirates are an improved, competitive team. The Pirates opened the season with three wins and, when Englewood hosted a tournament April 6, they won one of their ara three games. The Pirates have a week to work on improvement, as they return to the field at home April 13 against a strong Rangeview 303-team. The faceoff is at 11 a.m., and the game will be played in the Englewood High School Stadium. The Rangeview game is the last warmup as the Pirates prepare to begin divisional play when they are at home against Valor Christian at 6 p.m. April 18. This year, for the first time, the state split lacrosse teams into two classifications, 5A and 4A. There are five leagues in 5A and Englewood is in one of the four leagues in 4A. The other teams in Englewood’s league include Valor Christian, Denver South, Machebeuf, Ridgeview Academy and Windsor. This is the first season that coach Tim Williams has directed the Pirates. He said that because he believes strong fundamentals win games, he has had the players t at working on fundamentals a lot in practice. “I believe all that work, plus doing a lot of conditioning drills to build stamina, has paid off for us,” the coach said. “We have ecialimproved our lacrosse skills, developed Citystronger teamwork and established better andcommunications. That helped us win our andfirst three games, and the wins help build tors:our confidence.” The changes the coach talked about were evident when the Pirates played Glenwood Springs in the April 6 EnglewoodPACEsponsored tournament. April Englewood’s players displayed better skills passing, catching and scooping up Clineground balls. They also played aggressive withlacrosse, pressing the attack when they had d bythe ball. They scored five goals in the first rama theCall cen-

The Pirates dominated play and won the game at home, 15-2. Photo by Tom Munds 12-minute quarter and won the game, 15-2. Collin Owens, one of the team captains, said this season is a big step up from last year. “Our new coach pushes us hard because he knows we can play well, so he expects us to play our best every time we are on the field,” he said. “We have a small roster, so the coach has pushed us hard to develop the stamina needed to keep playing at top speed the whole game.” Owens said another big plus is that the new coach has instilled in the team that they have the talent needed to win games. Owens is a player who can be picked out, as he carries the defensemen’s long stick but
often moves between defense and midfield. “I like defense and I like the long stick,” Owens said. “The longer stick extends my reach and helps me when I try to stop a pass or knock down a ball in the air.” Teammate and fellow captain Josh Kavinsky said he thinks a major difference in the Pirates is their strong teamwork. “Last year, it was more individual play, but this year we are working together and I think everyone is playing to score goals, even if it means passing to another player who puts the ball in the net,” the three-year letterman said. “The new coach has helped us as a team and me as a player. When I make a mistake,
he tells me what I did wrong and how to correct it.” He said the early-season wins were important, because they showed the Pirates they can play good lacrosse and get wins. Kavinsky said he likes playing attack and has scored seven goals so far this season. “I like playing on this team because everyone is ready to help each other. Like against Glenwood, when they started double-covering me, I told the others on attack someone should be open for a good shot,” the senior said. “The season is going well and I would like to score 15 goals this year. It’s good to know I am now halfway to my goal.”
Englewood meets Windjammer tests Boys win team title, girls second at invitational By Tom Munds

Englewood was a less than gracious host for the April 6 Windjammer Invitational Track Meet, as the boys won the team title and the girls took runner-up honors in the six-team competition. “This is a good meet for us, as we are going against teams of about our caliber and our kids are having fun competing,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said during the April 6 meet. “Our kids are having some success and that is good for their confidence, helping them realize they can do well against good competition.” The Pirates have little time to enjoy the successes they had at the Windjammer, because on April 12, they will have another league meet at Weld Central. The next Pirates home track meet will
be the Shipwreck Invitational, starting at 3 p.m. April 26 at the Englewood High School stadium. The Windjammer Invitational has been held annually for about 20 years and, this year, the team entries were Englewood, Bear Creek, Ralston Valley, Denver Christian and Alameda. In the boys division, the Pirates took top honors with 189.5 points and Bear Creek was second. Englewood boys scored a lot of points in field events as well as on the track. On the track, Chad Glover won the 1,600-meter run in a personal best time of 5:02.12 and came back later in the meet to win the 3,200-meter run with a time of 11:16. Englewood won the 4 X 100, 4 X 400, 4 X 800 and the 800 sprint medley relays, plus Tucker Horan and Connor Shearrer finished one-two in the 800-meter run. In field events, Damasjae Currington scored a double win as he took first place in the shot put and the discus. Track continues on Page 20

Track: Zoe Conn takes second place in high jump Track continued from Page 19
“This is my first year out for track and I decided to come out because I needed something to do,” the Pirate senior said. “I expected the throws to be pretty easy, but they turned out to be much harder than I thought.” He said he had to learn the technique in shot put and has a personal best of 41-3. He won the Windjammer shot put competition with a throw of 39 feet, 2 inches “I like the discus, but the techniques are a little more difficult to learn. But I am working on it because I want to improve on my personal best of 104 feet,” he said before the discus competition. “The coach has been working with me to help me learn the right grip and hand placement on the disc. I think I have that now.” Apparently he was right, because he made a personal best throw of 112 feet to win the discus competition. The Pirates girls roster is small this year, except when athletes from other sports team are available for track meets. At the Windjammer, soccer players Dominique Daughtry, Kadie Kavinsky, Elijah Daughtry, Julia Kline and Mason Brainard-Fernandez and golfer Tayler Searcy
Castle Rock
made up the bulk of the girls team. The coach used different combinations as the Pirates finished first in the sprint medley, 4 X 100, 4 X 200 and 4 X 400 relays. Brainard-Fernandez and Kline also came back to finish one-two in the 100-meter dash. Entries in field events were thin, but sophomore Zoe Conn did take second place in the high jump. “I guess I took up track because dad had done well in the sport, so I have been doing the high jump since sixth grade,” the girl said. “This year had been a little challenging because last year’s coach taught me one way and this year I am being coached to do things differently.” She said she thinks high jump is really cool as you try to jump heights that are taller than you are. Conn said her personal best jump is 4 feet, 6 inches, but she knows she can do better. “I am working hard in practice and I get in the weight room, too, where I do a lot of repetitions with lighter weights, working mostly to strengthen my legs and my body’s core muscles,” she said. “I feel I am getting stronger, and my goal is to clear 4-8 or 4-10 by the end of the season.”

Common kitchen remodeling mistakes to avoid By Kitchen Tune-Up www.kitchentuneup.com
Everyone’s heard the horror stories of the remodel that went wrong, very wrong; the contractor skips town with the deposit, the product doesn’t arrive and you wait months for a workable kitchen, bathroom, etc., the kitchen is left so dirty and in such disarray that it takes days to clean it up and feel like you can cook in it again. It doesn’t have to be that way! There are honest, hard-working contractors out there who are good at what they do and will make your kitchen, bath, or wood floor look spectacular for a reasonable price. So, what should you look out for when entrusting your beloved home to someone you don’t know? Here are five common mistakes you can avoid if you know about them in advance. We’ll also give you some tips on things you can do to ensure your remodeling experience is the best it can be. • Don’t expect your project to run perfectly. Problems do occur. If you get upset about a few days’ slippage, you will drive yourself insane. Remember, you will have this kitchen for a good number of years, so a few days here or there are insignificant to the overall result. The important thing is that your contractor is reacting to it, getting it handled and gets everything back on track as soon as possible. For example, your contractor pulls the old cabinets off and fi nds out there has been a leak that
has rotted the flooring and joists under the floor, so everything stops until another company can come in and fi x it … if everyone is busy, it could be a week or more. You need to be prepared for the possibility that this type of problem can happen. • Don’t expect a working kitchen until the project’s done, so make arrangements for that. Cabinet refacing does not shut down your kitchen, but new countertops in addition to refacing will. You will probably be without running water and a sink for a few days. New kitchens are shut down on day one, as soon as the old cabinets are torn out. Depending on the countertop chosen, you’re typically looking at two to four weeks before you have a fully functional kitchen again. • Don’t start your remodel before you’ve chosen your appliances. Make sure you have the specs in the contractors’ hands prior to cabinets being ordered. This will result in a better fit for the appliance into the cabinets … especially wall ovens, built-in microwaves, cook tops, and large fridges. • Don’t pay for the entire project until the entire project is completed. Most projects will require you to make a significant down payment. This is normal, because the contractor has to place orders for products designed specifically for your kitchen. If you decided to withdraw from the project, he’d be stuck holding the bag. However, it is good policy to always leave a portion outstanding until the kitchen is finished. Ten per-
cent is pretty typical. If you have a problem giving your contractor a down payment, then you don’t trust him, and you should not be using him. • Don’t fall for the “big discount if you sign now” routine. Some remodeling companies offer huge discounts if you sign with them on the spot. If they offer an extremely large discount, it just means their price is too high to begin with. Remember, though, it is more cost-effective for the company to be able to wrap things up on the fi rst call, so a modest discount to save a second trip is reasonable, just use common sense. High-quality companies won’t use high-pressure tactics to get you to sign. Their product, service and references speak for themselves. Make sure you check out your contractor thoroughly in advance. Call their references, check from time to time, there are such things as “difficult” or “unreasonable” clients. If a contractor has a bad comment or complaint, consider it against the length of time they’ve been in business and ask them to explain any issues you found. It is expected that on occasion, good contractors may have bad customers. If you see a pattern of complaints, however, you know you shouldn’t use that contractor. You should be comfortable with and “click” with the contractor you’ve chosen for your remodel. Make sure they have a good amount of experience, positive references and valid liability insurance if something does go wrong.

Tips to avoid injury while spring cleaning By StatePoint Cleaning your home from top to bottom this spring? Do so with care. From falls off ladders to muscle pain, heavy-duty chores can be hazardous to your health and wellness if you’re not careful. So before you roll up your sleeves and get into the thick of it, take a moment to review some essential safety precautions: Avoid outdoor mishaps W hen mow ing the lawn, wear sturdy, closedtoe shoes. Clear your lawn of stones, toys and other potentially hazardous debris before you begin, to prevent flying objects. Keep children away from your yard while you’re mowing. Reduce the risk of a ladder fall by always using a stable ladder. Be sure to use the correct height ladder for the job and follow all weight restrictions. Only set ladders on level surfaces. Pay close attention to what you’re doing and climb up and down the ladder slowly and deliberately. Treat muscles right From lawn work to scrubbing floors, unusual repetitious motions can really take a toll, resulting in muscle pain or bruising. Treat your spring clean like a workout and stretch your
Photo courtesy of StatePoint major muscle groups before you get started. When lifting those boxes in your basement and any other objects with heft, bend at the knees to avoid throwing your back out. If a chore is causing you pain, stop what you’re doing. “Start out slowly to avoid placing a sudden demand on your muscles that are not use to this activity,” says Anne Meyer, MD who focuses on sports rehabilitation medicine. If you feel stiff or sore after a long day of reaching, bending and lifting, Dr. Meyer recommends minimizing physical activity, elevating an injured arm or leg, and treating the first sign of muscle pain by applying a quick absorbing topical muscle pain reliever like Arnicare Gel. Remember to take fre-
quent breaks. And end your long day with a relaxing bath. Clean safely Cleaning products can be extremely stringent, causing irritation to your eyes, nose and throat. If opting for natural alternatives, such as vinegar or lemons is not an option, use the harsher stuff with care. Open all windows when using harsh cleaning products, especially ammonia. Wear gloves and consider protecting your nose and mouth with a surgical mask. Place products out of reach when you’re not using them if you have pets or small children. By following a few safety measures, you can make your spring clean a rejuvenating experience.
How to make your garden more environmentally friendly By StatePoint Spring is here, which means it’s time to slip those green thumbs into some gardening gloves. And if you want to feel truly good about what you grow, consider upgrading your garden to be more planet-friendly. Here are some ideas to consider: Grow your own dinner Grow the vegetables, herbs and flowers that you would normally purchase for your dinner and floral arrangements. Local is more sustainable because it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport. And you can’t get more local than your own backyard. Encourage pollination Pollination is crucial for agricultural production and the health of the ecosystem. Unfortunately, many pollinating insects are highly susceptible to environmental changes and have in recent years, suffered major population decline. You can help local pollinators thrive by planting a variety of native species of varying colors and shapes and reducing your use of pesticides. Be bird-friendly No garden is truly complete without
regular visits from birds. Encourage flying visitors by installing a feeder and bird bath. According to a study published in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology, billions of birds die annually worldwide from collisions with windows. So if you’re going to send out the mass invite to these beautiful creatures, don’t forget to make it hazardfree for their arrival. Without affecting the appearance of your home, you can make your windows safer for birds by applying static-cling decals. For example, WindowAlert creates decals that look like frosted glass to people, but brilliantly reflect UV light for birds. To create a complete visual barrier, consider filling in the gaps between decals with UV Liquid dots which are invisible to humans, but visible to birds. More information on preventing bird collisions can be found at www.WindowAlert.com. Compost By composting, you will not only reduce your home’s overall waste, you’ll also create a rich soil that can be used in your garden to cultivate plants naturally. Be careful what you compost, however. Sawdust from chemically treated wood, diseased plants, and even walnuts, when composted, can create soil that’s hazardous to both plants and people.

Local man blows whistle in Atlanta Referee works his fourth Final Four
‘I haven’t been in a game where any of us have

As the NCAA men’s basketball tournament whittled itself down from 68 teams to the Final Four, the players weren’t the only ones advancing from round to round. Officials were also judged on their performances. And for the fourth time in his 20-year career officiating Division I college basketball, Highlands Ranch resident Randy McCall made it all the way to the Final Four. McCall’s officiating tenure began as a college student at the University of Northern Colorado when he started picking up area high school games. After graduation, he made the gradual transition to lower-tier collegiate ball and in 1992 began blowing his whistle at the Division I level. And for those who watched the Michigan-Syracuse semifinal game April 6, it was McCall who made the controversial charging call against the Orange with just less than two minutes to play that helped the Wolverines cement their victory. end The former Cherry Creek High School elax-athletic director said he watched the play multiple times after the game, and is more than confident he made the right call. “Certainly, as referees, if we can make canit through a game without a play like that where we have to make a boom-boom rulgent, ing, it makes it easier for everybody,” he your said. “Right, wrong, indifferent, at the end of al al-the day I had a decision to make. It was a negarhard play and it had an influence on the tion,outcome. That’s just the way it is. with “I’ve had a lot of people say it was a great

Highlands Ranch resident Randy McCall officiated the Syracuse-Michigan on April 6 in Atlanta. Courtesy photo call, and I’ve had a lot say it was a `hard call to make’ which in referee terms means they would have called it different. … There are tough plays like that in every game but when it happens late in the game the perceived impact is a bit more magnified. I’m sure there are a lot of people who would like to crucify me for that one play, but there are a lot of people who say I got it right.” McCall isn’t losing any sleep over it, that’s for sure, and said that officials always have a good feeling of whether they got the game right, and in this case, he said they

did. “I haven’t been in a game where any of us have been perfect yet,” he said. “The reality of it is there’s an accumulation of a lot of things that lead to one team winning.” What McCall is most concerned with is fairness, and he will be the first to admit that can be one of the biggest challenges in a game where three men are working together and none see exactly what the others are seeing and calling. “You have a good idea, but never know
for sure. It’s a challenge,” he said. “It’s not like being a baseball umpire where you are going to sit back there and you know the guy is going to throw a ball or a strike. Our game is so fast, and so unpredictable.” McCall, who referees in the Mountain West, Pac-12, Western Athletic Conference and Missouri Valley Conference during the season, said it’s a bit of an affirmation to advance through the rounds and be selected for the Final Four, but it isn’t everything. “Anyone who hangs their hat on whether they are moved on to the second weekend or the Final Four, if that’s all they are going to judge their year by, I think they’re nuts,” he said. “There are so many really good referees out there.” Other Final Four games McCall has done include the 2004 National Championship game between Connecticut and Georgia Tech, the 2005 semifinal between Michigan State and North Carolina and the 2010 semifinal between Duke and West Virginia.

APRIL WATER MAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM
•
•
As the rushing water forces the minerals from the mains, it may force small amounts into the connecting service lines. Residents should be aware, therefore, that one or more days during the week of April 16th 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. Residents are advised to check their cold water daily during the week of April 16th to determine if their systems have been affected by the flushing.

The City of Englewood Utilities Department will be conducting its annual fire hydrant flushing program starting the week of April 15th at 7:00 a.m. During this week, the water mains throughout the entire City will be flushed between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. In order to clean residue and sediments from the mains, the Water Distribution crews will be isolating sections of pipe by shutting off the valves to connecting pipes, then opening the fire hydrant on the main to full volume. The resulting surge of water flushes mineral accumulations from the pipe.
