Course honored for player development Broken Tee’s promotion, outreach recognized By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course received this year’s player development award from the National Golf Course Owners Association. The association includes 5,300 owners representing 7,200 golf courses around the United States and in foreign counties. “Bob Spada and a couple of his staff accepted this award at the association conference in February but we wanted to present it to the city and to all the course employees who help make Broken Tee operate,” Jerrell Black, parks and recreation director, told city council at its April 8 meeting. “In presenting the award to Broken Tee, the association recognized all that is done to promote the sport and to help people fall in love with golf.” Black said the youth program is strong, as are other programs to help people learn the game and play golf. He said the golf course has special programs for handicapped golfers, and Professional Golf Association-certified instructors available to give both group and individual lessons. Black said the award is a tribute to the work done by everyone associated with Broken Tee Golf Course at Englewood. Bob Spada, course director, said Broken Tee had applied unsuccessfully for the award, so it came as a surprise when they were notified they had won this year. “We feel it is the strength of our ju-

The Englewood City Council took two actions regarding the recreational marijuana industry at its April 15 meeting, first approving an advisory question on the November ballot about banning the industry, and then putting a ban in place. The actions are in response to Colorado voters’ approval of Amendment 64 in November, legalizing adult possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana for recreational use and legalizing retail sales and a number of aspects of the industry. The amendment also provided communities the option to ban the recreational marijuana industry. The council first considered the ballot issue. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said all but one precinct in the city voted heavily in support of Amendment 64. “Residents clearly supported legalizing recreational marijuana,” he said. “Now there is discussion of banning the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood. I feel we should listen to the voters by putting the advisory question about the ban on the November ballot.” Council Member Rick Gillit said he agreed with Woodward, but only to a point. “I want to fulfill the will of the voters,” he said. “However, in approving Amendment 64, the voters gave local communities the opportunity to decide whether or not to Marijuana continues on Page 6

junior golf program. The Hole-N-One program will be offered again this year, drawing 5- to 15-year-olds from all over the Denver metro area. This year, Spada said they already have about 250 kids signed up for the program, including a young golfer from Fort Collins. The program will be held from June 3-19. The program is capped at 650 and the course will take applications on a firstcome, first-served basis. For information, call the golf course at 303-762-2670. But Spada said the junior program isn’t the only golf promotional program at Broken Tee. “We are introducing a beginning golf program for women,” he said. “The program offers five lessons plus rounds of golf for $99.” He said there are also plans to offer an improved family night program. “We are doing all we can to provide the opportunities for everyone to either learn the game or to come out and play our course,” he said.

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Joel Phillips, working with the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, is sponsoring an April 22 open house to launch the effort to establish B-cycle stations to Arapahoe County communities. “We are inviting community officials and residents to come by and look at the Bcycle station program offering the opportunity to share a bike. Visitors can even take a ride on one of the bikes,” said Phillips, the chamber board member spearheading the project. “The share-a-bike programs have worked well in other communities including Denver and Boulder, reducing pollution, getting cars off the road and getting fat off the people.” The open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 22 in the Englewood Civic Center piazza. The piazza is located adjacent to the civic center at 1000 Englewood Parkway. Phillips said he got interested in the rent-a-bike program when he undertook a personal journey seeking to adopt a healthier lifestyle, which included bike riding. “That got me interested in the bike-sharing program and I began doing research to Cycle continues on Page 6

Sign language speaks of community Nadelle Payne, a high school teacher of American Sign Language, can go all day without talking to someone other than her students. She is deaf. “I can pass people in the hall and say `Hi,’” she says through an interpreter. “But not a conversation.” So, on a recent Saturday, she and about 25 other deaf women and men, including high school and college students studying ASL, gathered at a Starbucks in Highlands Ranch to talk. The conversations — lively, graceful, expressive — continued for hours. Fingers moved swiftly. Arms glided, up and down, back and forth. Emotion danced across animated faces. All of it, together, words without sound spinning eloquent stories, woven in a warmth born of shared community. “To immerse ourselves in our own language” is a gift, a reprieve from the isolation that comes with being deaf, Payne says. “Hearing people can talk every day, on the phone … all the time. We talk when we have someone to sign with.” The monthly Starbucks gathering is one of many in the area designed to nurture connection and fellowship among a populace defined by its unique communication and culture. There are deaf social chats at restaurants in Boulder and Castle Rock, silent bowling nights at an alley in Lone Tree, festivals and ASL performances at Rocky Mountain School for the Deaf in Lakewood, an ASL haunted house night during Halloween, a deaf social chat in Superior, a meeting for deaf senior citizens in Denver. “It is like you are going to deaf Mecca where there are all deaf native signers,” says Michelle Stricklen, an ASL instructor at Front Range Community College who is deaf. “It is,” she says in an email, “phenomenal to me.”

Pam Meadows, a Castle Rock resident and California transplant who has been deaf since birth, started the monthly socials at the Highlands Ranch Starbucks about 2½ years ago. “We come here to socialize,” she says through her friend Dawn Davies, a Littleton schools counselor who is not deaf and is interpreting. “But it also helps ASL students so they can experience what deaf people are like.” Davies, who began learning to sign in first grade, attends many of these events to visit with friends. But as a school counselor she also helps introduce first-timers, particularly students, to the group. “I like to help bridge the gap a little bit.” A handful of high school students from Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch are here this day. It is their second visit. They come to practice signing, but they’ve picked up on some other aspects of deaf culture, too. “They’re really close,” Shawna Doughten says. “You can talk across the room,” Makayla Elms says with a smile. “They’re not different,” Paige Luke says. “Other people think they’re handicapped, but they’re not.” The three teens, along with Kayla Hendrickson from Castle Rock, have fallen in love with the language. “It’s just so expressive,” Hendrickson says. “I love how it’s really metaphoric … how you can kind of get creative with it.” “When you’re describing stuff, you’re

supposed to try to create a picture,” Elms says. “You use a lot of motion,” Luke says. The language is actually more straightforward, points out Jazelle Edwards, 9, here with her mother, who is deaf. She is not, though. “You don’t have to say the little words,” such as “and” and “the.” “Sign language is so much fun to talk,” says Clay Amos, who with his fiancee Ivy Oswald recently moved from Pennsylvania. They’ve come to meet new people. Although both are deaf, Amos can lip read and speak; Oswald has a cochlear implant, which allows her to hear, and she can speak. “It’s feelings,” Amos says about signing. “It makes you laugh.” “It is,” Oswald says with a smile, “theatrical.” And just like a spoken language, it has tones and accents, the students say. “People have tones with their voice,” Hendrickson says. “You kind of have a tone of your sign. Everyone signs differently.” George Veditz, former president of the National Association of the Deaf, said this about sign language in 1913: “It is my hope that we will all love and guard our beautiful sign language as the noblest gift God has given to deaf people.” And it is beautiful. To watch people sign is to watch stories unfold like the lyrical melody of a song. You can sense the happiness, the sadness, the excitement, the disappointment — even when you don’t know what the signs mean. But that inability to understand often creates discomfort among those who can’t communicate back, similar to being in a country whose language is not your own. “Many people are intimidated by us,” Payne acknowledges. “It takes a lot of effort for hearing people to communicate” with those who can’t hear. Stricklen tells the story of asking a flight attendant for a menu and being given one

in Braille. “I told her, `No, I just need regular.’ Am I blind?” At the other end of the spectrum, Payne says, “we are afraid we will be misunderstood.” The key, as with anyone who doesn’t know your language, is to try. “We like having friends,” Payne says. “We like it when people make an effort to try and communicate.” On this day, around the tables in the coffee shop, the barriers are down. Two women stand by the door, lost in conversation, eyes focused on each other’s signs. Next to them, Makayla Elms and Paige Luke are signing with little Jazelle and her older brother. Nearby, Payne, Davies and Meadows are in deep conversation with a group clustered in chairs. And at the tall table across the way is Oswald, hands moving, fingers working, animated as she and Amos sign with new friends. A peacefulness of sorts quietly connects them all. They are, in a sense, home. Watch, and listen carefully. The silence speaks loudly.

Elections bill stirs passions Democrats see more voter involvement; Republicans predict greater fraud By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com A Democratic-sponsored bill that would put in place sweeping changes to how Colorado elections are conducted passed a state legislative committee on April 15, following a lengthy and heavily debated hearing that went deep into the night. House Bill 1303 would change the state’s election code to allow for Report same-day voter registration and would put ballots in the mailboxes of every registered voter. The bill also would do away with a system where “inactive” voters — those who did not vote in the previous election — do not continue to receive mail-in ballots. Democrats say the changes would encourage more involvement in the voting process, and would save taxpayer dollars on things like voting equipment, because fewer people would need to vote in person. The bill’s sponsors argue that Colorado voters want greater voting access and that legislators should respond to their desires. “People have demanded that we reform our elections system, and it is time for us to design an election system around our voters,” House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, a bill sponsor, told members of the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee. But Republicans argue that the changes could lead to greater voting fraud and that the Democrats’ efforts on the bill are selfserving attempts to boost their own party’s

voter rolls. Applause erupted from the audience when Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, questioned the sponsors’ motives, telling committee members, “I don’t hear the outcry from voters.” “I’m trying to get my arms around why we’re doing this,” he said. The bill passed the Democratic-controlled committee on a 7-4 vote, on the heels of a hearing that lasted more than seven hours. Among those who testified was Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson, a Republican who is the president of the Colorado County Clerks Association, who said the bill puts “ballots in the hands of voters in a cost-effective manner.” “As a whole, over three quarters of (CCCA members) support this legislation as an important and timely policy that looks to the future,” Anderson said. Anderson also tried to alleviate the concerns that mailing ballots to every registered voter in the state would lead to greater voting fraud. She said the bill would provide “necessary security for the (voting) system” and that there really isn’t much fraud going on in Colorado elections to begin with. Several Republican officeholders oppose the bill, including El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams, who believes that same-day voter registration would make it impossible to catch those who try to cheat the system. “The more the people of the State of Colorado and El Paso County learn about this terrible piece of legislation, the more they don’t like it,” Williams said in a news release prior to the hearing. Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler, who vehemently opposes the bill, called the legislation “flawed.” “This is an example of bad government,” he said. The bill now moves to the House Appropriations Committee.

Myths And Misperceptions Of Hospice Care

By Tom Munds

t m u n d s @ o u rc o l o r a d o news.com Several officials from the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley met with Englewood City Council on April 8 to talk about continuing the Englewoodshelter relationship and to request the city approve the additional $41,000 that the society requested for 2013. Among the issues discussed were changes the society has made in an effort to be sustainable, along with efforts to enlist donors, while asking Englewood to approve the additional funding. The city had provided $50,000 and had budgeted the additional $41,000, but didn’t allocate spending it until the meeting with society officials Near the end of the meeting, the council agreed to evaluate the information provided and discuss the request for additional funding at a later date. “We first want to thank Englewood for its past support and commitment to the society,” Margie Munoz, society board of directors president, told the council during the study session. “We also wanted tell you about the positive changes we have made as we seek to establish ways to make sure we can sustain the business now and in the future.” Changes made at the society include the appointment of Leslie Maisonneuve as shelter director. “Since late last year,

Hospice care is widely misunderstood and underutilized. Education on the myths and misperceptions of hospice care and the Medicare benet will be discussed followed by a question and answer session.

Coming Up:

Presented by Suncrest Hospice The Humane Society of the South Platte Valley is located off Santa Fe Drive on Chenango Avenue. The society is working to make changes so the facility is sustainable. Photo by Tom Munds our focus has been twofold: increasing adoptions and seeking support from private individuals and companies,” Maisonneuve said. “We feel we are making progress, as we have seen a 19 percent increase in adoptions. We also have seen an increase in private donations, including the fact we now have Schomp Automotive as a corporate partner.” She added that a volunteer also helped the society create a web page and establish a presence on Facebook. She noted that a major policy of the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley is its commitment to be a no-kill shelter. The director said that isn’t the case with most other humane societies in the surrounding area. Council Member Bob McCaslin said he was impressed with the changes and progress the society has made. Council Member Rick Gillit agreed and asked about plans for the future. The shelter director said work is underway on establishing fees for govern-

mental agencies using the shelter on what is called an allocation system. The basis of the system is establishing the annual fee for a community based on the number of animals from that community that are brought to the shelter. Mayor Randy Penn said it was a good idea, because he feels some of the governmental agencies using the shelter are not paying their fair share for the services they receive. Munoz said Englewood and Littleton are now under contract with the shelter, as are Columbine Hills and Cherry Hills Village. Arapahoe County uses the shelter at a lower rate than Englewood and Littleton, but she said the county fee will probably increase when the contract is renewed. “We also have been taking animals from Parker and Lone Tree. They told us they expected to contract with the Douglas County shelter,” she said. “That hasn’t happened yet, so we are still accepting their animals and billing them for the services we provide.”

ENGLEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY City gets swimming grant

Englewood Parks and Recreation Department received a $4,000 grant from the USA Swimming Foundation. The money will be used to continue Englewood’s program teaching kids to swim. The foundation received 130 applications, and Englewood was one of 41 grants awarded. Joe Sack, recreation operations service manager, said Englewood received a foundation grant in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The 2011 program helped about 200 youngsters learn to swim. Englewood didn’t receive the grant last year, which meant there weren’t finances to continue the program.

Volunteers sought for depot decision Council wants two residents to work with experts By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood City Council gave consensus approval to ask two residents to volunteer to join a group of experts in historic preservation. The plan is to create a committee to evaluate two proposals for the purchase and use of the Englewood Depot. Council members agreed to establish the review committee during the April 8 study session discussion, which focused on options for dealing with proposals to purchase the early 1900s train depot at the corner of West Dartmouth Avenue and South Galapago Street. The city received proposals from the Englewood

ban the recreational marijuana industry. That ban has no impact on a resident’s right to possess recreational marijuana or grow marijuana for personal use.” The effort to let Englewood voters verify their decision on recreational marijuana had the support of Council Member Joe Jefferson. The proposal will develop ballot wording to explain that the vote is on whether the council should prohibit establishing any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood. Plans call for wording to make it clear that the council is not required to take action to comply with the results of the election. The council voted 4-3 on first reading to place the issue on the ballot. Mayor Randy Penn, Woodward and Council Members Jefferson and Linda Olson voted for the resolution, while Council Members Gillit, Bob McCaslin and Jill Wilson voted against it. The issue is scheduled to come up for second and final reading at the May 6 council meeting. Wilson said she wanted to make sure the wording for the ballot made it clear to residents that it would only be advisory and would not require

Tom and Patti Parson would pay the city $30,000 and create a living museum of letterpress printing in the building. Both proposals agree to

council action. The council then moved to discussion of banning all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry. Wilson said she is concerned because so many issues about medical marijuana still remain unresolved at the state level. She noted that two of the three medical-marijuana outlets in Englewood still have no state license. Gillit agreed, and said he can’t imagine how many state issues regarding regulation of the recreational marijuana industry will remain unresolved when facilities are to be allowed to open in January 2014. Woodward added that he expected Englewood to establish licensing and zoning regulations for the recreational marijuana industry that mirror the existing regulations governing medical marijuana. “If that happens, the zoning and the restrictions on distance between facilities would prevent establishing any recreational marijuana industry facility anywhere in Englewood,” he said. The council voted 5-2 to approve first reading of the regulation to prohibit establishing any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood. Penn, McCaslin, Wilson, Olson and Gillit voted for the ban, while Woodward and Jefferson voted against it.

do restoration work to preserve the historic integrity of the depot at a cost of several hundred thousand of dollars. Grant applications would be submitted to help cover the restoration costs. Residents who volunteer for the committee will need to be available for a fourhour time commitment on a weekday morning or afternoon in mid-May. The session will involve a pre-meeting regarding the proposals, followed by interviews with the two candidates and a post-interview follow-up discussion. Lunch will be provided. The committee members will receive the proposals and related documents prior to the interview date. The deadline for applications is April 30 at 5 pm. The applications are available online at www.englewoodgov.org. Questions can be directed to the Englewood City Manager’s Office at 303762-2310.

see what it would take to bring the program to Arapahoe County,” he said. “The first step is creation of a new organization called Arapahoe B-Cycle and obtaining official tax-exempt status. Then, we’ll begin the fundraising efforts necessary to get the first phase of the program up and running by the spring of 2014.” Phillips said tentative phase-one plans would set up 10 stations located near the light rail stations in Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan. The expanded phase would establish stations in Greenwood Village, Centennial and Aurora. The Denver Bike Shares program was established in 2010 and the first full season was March to November 2011. Individuals can purchase an annual, monthly or weekly membership, plus walk-up customers can use available bikes. In 2011, there were 2,675 annual memberships sold, an increase of 50 percent over 2010. The Denver statistics show short-term members used the bikes more often on weekends. Those who chose to use a bike on a 24hour membership took 74,797 trips, which accounted for 37 percent of the bike trips taken during the year.

Police to collect unwanted drugs City takes part in national program By Tom Munds

t m u n d s @ o u rc o l o r a d o news.com

Residents have the opportunity to safely dispose of out-of-date, unused or unwanted prescription medications during “take back” event from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. April 27 in the parking lot of the Miller Building, 3600 S. Elati St. The Englewood Police Department is sponsoring and overseeing the event as part of the nationwide program endorsed by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The program was established in 2010 as the DEA sought a way to help people safely dispose of prescription drugs they no longer want. Before the take-back program, the options were to put the drugs in trash that goes to the landfill or flush them down the toilet. Neither option is considpre-ered a safe way to dispose of grityprescription drugs. sev- Medications are dropped d ofoff at the take-back location tions help osts. nteer need fourment ning May. ve a the y incanntersion. . memposments ate. pplipm. availngle-

File photo with no questions asked, and all medication will be disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. However, the dropoff will not accept needles, mercury, oxygen containers, chemotherapy or radioactive substances or pressurized canisters. Also, the dropoff is for prescription medications, and no illicit drugs will be accepted. Tony Arnoldy, police community relations representative, said Englewood held a drug take-back event in 2012 that collected about

200 pounds of prescription drugs. This marks the fourth year the DEA has promoted the National Prescription Medication Take Back Events. Englewood was among almost 5,700 locations that took part in the nationwide event a year ago. The DEA reported the sites collected and safely disposed of 276 tons of prescription drugs. That brought the total amount of drugs collected since the take-back program started to about 150 million pounds.

opinions / yours and ours

Even a growth industry must have borders The work of both a task force and a committee is done, and now the business of drawing up rules to implement Amendment 64 is in the hands of the Colorado General Assembly. With less than a month left in the 2013 session, the Legislature will need to hustle on the matter of recreational marijuana. As lawmakers debate the merits of the recommendations they’ve been handed, one issue that will come up is how to deal with pot tourism. Already, a company promising cannabis-related vacations has sprouted in Denver, with April 20 — also known endearingly by many marijuanasmokers as “4/20” — being its first big push. It seems unlikely the Legislature would

our view altogether ban out-of-state folks from purchasing pot. Doing so would be against the advice of the Amendment 64 Task Force and would cost the state a potentially large source of revenue. But there could be limits imposed, perhaps below the threshold of those facing residents, on how much marijuana visitors could legally procure. And, certainly, the law would require them to smoke or otherwise partake here in the Centennial State. Amid myriad gray areas, at least one

question of the week

“I don’t really keep up with politics all that much, but overall I’d give them an F with the exception of one area, and that’s the medical marijuana issue. In that case, I’d give them an A.” — Duaine Miller, Aurora “I give them a solid B. So far, so good. I don’t follow politics all that much, but I think people in other states probably have it worse. Seems everybody here is pretty content, and that makes me happy.” — Brandon Alder, Centennial

That’s my story, and I’m a stick in the mud My therapist and I have been talking about dancing. Just not with each other. We’re trying to figure out why I have no interest in dancing or dance. I won’t do “The Loco-Motion” or “The Mashed Potato.” I don’t watch dancing, either. Ballet, ballroom, belly, pole, line, none of it. Torture would be watching “Dancing with the Stars.” Extreme torture would be watching “Lord of the Dance.” I don’t even like the Soupy Shuffle. A friend of mine sent me a YouTube of some fellow who had spliced together snippets of him doing the same appalling jig in locations around the world. She wasn’t happy when I said it was absolutely dreadful So far, all my therapist and I have been able to come up with is that I may have had a profoundly adverse reaction to glimpsing Arthur Murray when I was a boy. He always had a disturbing smile on his face, like a carousel horse. I don’t imagine there is anyone else anywhere who feels the same way about dancing as I do. I prefer to be largely inert. Keep the foxtrot away from me. No Native American dances, please. Hulas? No, no, no. Even the Ice Capades gives me the willies. Everyone else either loves to dance, watch dancing, or both. I don’t know what happened with me. My guess is that Boo Radley didn’t dance either, and that’s how I saw myself when I was in high school and college. That perception has changed, but I am still very reclusive, and I think I always will be. My drinking years didn’t loosen me up either. Well. They loosened me up to other things, but not moving and grooving. I don’t listen to dance music. Maybe that’s a part of it. I listen to Beethoven and Mozart. There may have been some dancing going on in “Amadeus.” I can’t remember. But dancing to Sinfonia Concertante would never cross my mind. Painting to it would. Perhaps painting is how I dance. The canvas is my partner? Maybe that’s a

improvised. That would be the end of me. I was roped into seeing one some years ago, and my friend spent most of her segment, backlighted, under a lavender, translucent gauzy tent, so all I could see was her silhouette, kind of flailing around for 15 minutes. It didn’t do much for me. I know it was supposed to be meaningful, but I would much rather have seen her across the table from me in a diner. Sooner or later we all have to figure out what we are and what we are not. I think I have. I know it’s not too late to change. Maybe I will have some kind of revelation in my final years. But maybe these are my final years, so give me painting and writing, but don’t save the last dance for me. I think I am just going to tell my therapist that it is all Arthur Murray’s fault. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast. net

While that amount would have been against the law even in Colorado — where residents may legally possess up to 1 ounce for recreational purposes or up to 2 ounces for medicinal reasons — it does shine a light on a problem. A commander with a Kansas drug task force told reporters Colorado pot is increasingly becoming a concern in his state. Like it or not, Colorado may be well on its way to becoming known as a destination spot for pot enthusiasts. But developing a reputation among neighboring states as a source of contraband is not acceptable. Our state’s legislators, law enforcement agencies and residents should work to nip this problem in the bud.

Becoming a minimalist is a challenge

Have you ever considered yourself to be a minimalist in any area of your life? Becoming a minimalist takes work and needs to be done in moderation, at least for me. locations what overall grade they would For the past few years I have started the give to the Colorado Legislature and why. slow migration to becoming a minimalist. “I’d say a C-minus.

Here is the other problem I encountered while attempting to become a minimalist: too much access to too many things and too much information all in one location. Maybe it’s my lack of focus, but I am literally a less productive reader than when I was reading just one book at a time. So many people know that I am a voracious reader and recommend books for me to read. So I research the book, and if it sounds interesting I download it. Before I know it, I have left one book and moved on to another before finishing the first one.

thing is black and white: What’s smoked in Colorado must stay in Colorado. We’re not endorsing use of marijuana in any way, but if you choose to use, remember that you are breaking the law if you take it outside state lines. Kansas, for one, has been a nervous neighbor since Amendment 64’s passage in November. Last month, Kansas’ appeals court ruled it is illegal to possess pot even if it was legally purchased in another state. (For that matter, possession is still in violation of federal law, but that’s a larger matter for another day.) Earlier this month, a Colorado woman was arrested in Salina, Kan., on charges of marijuana possession. She had nearly 4 pounds of pot, police say.

when traveling, I have to discipline myself and limit myself to one active book at a time. I wish that was the only challenge I had. You see, I read a lot of reference, business, faith-based and history books. I like to write notes in the margins and highlight and underscore the text. I know I can do that on my e-reader or iPad, but nowhere near as fast and as efficiently as I can with my pen and highlighters. Lastly, as I sit in my office and make calls, write proposals, write columns and coach clients, I can look at my bookshelf and see all the titles right in front of me in one location. My eyes can scan my shelves while talking on the phone and I can immediately pull a book off the shelf and look for the dog-eared pages or sticky-note tabs and find what I am looking for right at that moment of need. When I thought about boxing up all of my books and when I imagined the empty shelves with a lone e-reader or iPad, I knew I had to find a happy medium and that going “all-in” with a digital solution was not the answer for me. So I am back to the bookstore, back to carrying one book with me in my bag, enjoying the feel of the book, the smell of the ink (It’s almost like that new-car smell, you know what I mean?), and the sound as I turn each page. And I also carry my iPad where I keep just a couple of active materials. I downloaded an awesome reference Bible and I use my reader for the magaNorton continues on Page 9

s Investors see risk in rally

Hindsight is perfect vision. If investors knew we would be n ere flirting with 15,000 on the Dow in unceApril 2013, perhaps fewer would nces have panicked in May 2009 when the same market index was at a 6,700. The broader market index as measured by the S&P 500 was a at 696 then, and as of this writing is nearing 1,600 or a return of 130 on percent. ¹ The lesson from this example aop- and any other market decline is ates that recoveries typically follow declines. The problem always lies in the unknowns — usually ent when and how much. Therefore, nip many investors make long-term decisions based on short-term information. Two conflicting emotions often dictate how we behave with our money: fear or greed. During the Great Recession, fear was the common denominator for most people tracking their retirement or college funds. Lately, greed has started to take over as more folks are wishing they had invested more and could be looking at over 100 percent returns by now. There are several risk factors that continue to affect this re-

covery, and many people remain fearful despite the large returns. One obvious problem is that the economic growth has been so slow, hampered by unemployment and a stagnant housing market, that the recovery itself was difficult to recognize until after it occurred. The continued trajectory, according to the Federal Reserve Board minutes from early April, is that the slow growth is here to stay. No one is predicting any stellar Gross Domestic Product (GDP) bursts in the near future. Slow growth transcends into another problem: Low interest rates. The low interest rate environment, designed to loosen the money supply, makes it difficult for retirees to get much yield on their fixed income investments. Since bond values increase when

interest rates decline, the outlook for bond price appreciation is actually negative. Therefore it does not make economic sense to purchase bonds at record high prices for paltry returns. Another longer-term risk to be aware of is the potential for inflation creeping back into the economy. There is significant potential that the consumer will experience higher costs on such staples as food, housing and energy, long before their salary will increase to compensate. Wages are held down as a result of high unemployment; however, food and energy costs are rising. This phenomenon of inflation before growth is very difficult to manage as an investor or a consumer. The added volatility in the marketplace is a result of the above three major risks. The whipsaw attitude of when to add growth investments to the portfolio or when to be defensive has many investors’ heads spinning. In stock market terms, this is called risk-on or risk-off. Those adding risk because they are now fearful of missing out (greed) are pushing stock prices

higher. Those reducing risk by being defensive either due to age or income needs are sustaining a bond market that otherwise would naturally be declining. These conflicting attitudes may actually create opportunity. Investors would be wise to revisit their long-term strategy with their advisor. Confirm you are diversified in the areas where you feel comfortable taking risk and that your time frame is appropriate for the investments you are holding.

A few thoughts on lawn aerification (core cultivation) from now through the fall. If lawns aren’t being regularly watered (as is the case in many communities), the lawns will likely be so hard that aerification will not be terribly effective. That is, plugs will not likely be pulled from such hard lawns without the benefit of a good soaking rain or a couple of days of intensive irrigation. Lawns that are stressed due to some of the more extreme watering restrictions will not likely benefit from fall aerification (or earlier “beat the fall rush” aerification being promoted by some companies right now). These stressed lawns may actually suffer additional stress (traffic stress from the equipment, increased drying because of open holes). Aerification holes will promote drying of the soil if they do not heal over quick-

ly. On actively growing, regularly watered lawns the holes heal quickly. On stressed, infrequently irrigated lawns the holes will stay open longer and thus promote drying of the soil — something we don’t need at this point. Plus, drought stressed and (especially) non irrigated lawns will not produce much in the way of new roots this fall — even if they are aerified. In fact, they may produce more roots if left undisturbed (not aerified) than if they are aerified. Those lawns that are being watered enough to get good penetration/plug pulling would probably benefit because they are growing “normally” (new roots will form, holes will heal over). So, lawns that do not appear to be under stress and are irrigated regularly enough to allow effective pulling of cores can benefit from fall aerification. Where watering restrictions have resulted in stressed lawns and hard soil, aerification may not be effective and may actually cause more harm than good.

How to keep your land pest-free By StatePoint

Spending time outdoors can recharge the soul and bring the family together. In your own backyard you can fi nd beauty, enjoyment and a place to connect with nature — so long as you make sure to maintain all those beautiful trees and plants. Whether you have a garden, woodlands or natural landscaping on your property, you’ll want to keep your land healthy and free of unwanted pests. And experts say that woodlands need special attention. “Although trees look strong, woodland ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made dangers that can gradually reduce the health and beauty of your woods,” says Mike Burns, forester and program resource manager with the American Forest Foundation. A U.S. Forest Service assessment released last December predicts that as many as 34 million acres of forest land could be lost in the United States during the next 50 years, and that all regions in the Unittereded States will experience increased stress ssed,from natural disasters and pest infestawilltions. ying Luckily, there are steps landowners can ed attake to help keep trees and woodlands safe d (es-from pests: pro- • Keep an eye out for changes. On trees, thisspots of yellow or brown or some thinning fact,needles might be the effects of natural ndis-shading on lower limbs — or it might be a aeri-disease or insect that’s about to spread to other trees. ered • Stay informed about threats in your

area. Contact your state forestry agency or state department of natural resources to find out what’s bugging your area. • Monitor for pests and signs of disease every month or two. Check trees on the trunk, limbs, twigs, under peeling bark and leaves — the most likely places to find injuries. Keep your eye open for things that look out of the ordinary. • Online resources can help you become a better steward of your land. If you own some woodlands, consider signing up for the My Land Plan resource, launched by the American Forest Foundation. My Land Plan can help you connect with upto-date information about pest threats, map your land’s boundaries and record changes over time, all at www.MyLandPlan.org. You can explore the website’s newly expanded invasive pest and pathogen section and locate professional services available for your needs. • If you suspect an outbreak, collect samples of tree damage and any associated pests to accurately identify the problem, which may have more than one cause. Take pictures and notes on your trees’ symptoms. Often pictures are enough for an expert to identify the problem and help you figure out what to do next. Next steps can be identified by your state forestry agency or department of natural resources. • If you discover an insect that you suspect might be a danger to your trees, seal it in a container and store it in the freezer until you can deliver it to a proper authority.

Slaying may derail bail-bond measure Death of corrections chief could be game-changer By Vic Vela

vvela@ourcoloradonews.com The circumstances surrounding the recent slaying of Colorado’s prisons chief is causing Republican state lawmakers to have second thoughts on a bill that seeks to change how bail bond violators are punished. House Bill 1242, a Democraticsponsored bill that would repeal the mandatory sentencing structure of bail bond violations, had GOP support just last month. That was then. This is now. The bill’s fate is up in the air now that Republicans — some of whom voted for the legislation following a recent legislative committee hearing — are voicing oppoClements sition to the measure, causing Democratic leadership to yank the bill from being voted on last week. The bill, which is being sponsored by Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lakewood, would give judges and prosecutors discretion in how they punish people who violate their release conditions while they are out on bond for a criminal charge. Currently, if a person violates conditions of bond for any reason — be it for the commission of a new crime or simply arriving late to a court hearing — he or she faces a mandatory one-year jail term, if their underlying charge is a felony. A bail bond violation for an underlying misdemeanor offense carries

with it a mandatory six-month jail sentence. Pettersen believes that not all bond violations should carry equal punishment. “The bill leaves it up to judicial discretion to look at the circumstance, versus having a mandatory sentence,” Pettersen recently told Colorado Community Media. “If it’s somebody who can’t make it to court, versus somebody looking to flee, the judge can take that into account.”

Slaying casts shadow

The bill passed the House Judiciary Committee on a 10-0 bipartisan vote, following a March 26 hearing. It then passed the Appropriations Committee on April 9. But Republicans now cite parolerelated missteps involving the man who allegedly murdered Department of Corrections Director Tom Clements last month, as a key reason behind their change of heart. Clements was killed in his Monument home on March 19, allegedly by Evan Ebel — who died in a shootout with authorities in Texas days after Clements’ death. Ebel, who had a long criminal history, was out on parole at the time of the killing. But it turned out that he had removed his ankle monitoring device while on parole, and that DOC did not become aware of the tampering until days after the fact. Though Pettersen’s bill has nothing to do with DOC monitoring, Republicans see the legislation as akin to having more criminals on the streets, when they don’t have to be. “I suspect there is an increased focus on these types of issues and these types of bills since we learned of the various failings in the DOC system, with regard to the Clements murder,”

said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. “And I do think that, for a lot of members, that did change their perspective.” Each of the four Republican House members who voted for the bill in committee are now either expressing concerns about the bill, or plan to change their votes: Polly Lawrence of Littleton, Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs, Jared Wright of Fruita and Carole Murray of Castle Rock. But Pettersen points out that Clements’ death occurred before the March 26 committee hearing, and that her bill has nothing to do with allowing criminals to get a free walk whenever they violate their bail conditions. “That doesn’t mean that we don’t expect everyone to be in court when they’re supposed to be,” she said. “You can still do the max. It doesn’t take that option away.” House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, said she still hopes to get the bill through, in spite of what she thinks are Republican behind-the-scenes games aimed at killing the legislation. “We’re having some difficulty on the (House) floor, which we’re having a hard time figuring out,” she said of Republican opposition. “Maybe its gotcha, I don’t know. I hope that after all the tomfoolery we’ll be able to pass a good bill.” But McNulty said Democrats should look at themselves in the mirror to find out why the bill is being stalled. “For them to say that’s on us, they either don’t recognize that they’re in the majority, or they have other issues on their side that they’re using as an excuse as they try to get out of it,” he said. The bill had yet to be voted on by press time on April 15.

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What is the most challenging part of what you do? What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a Steve Sides house? Keeping up with the search for new opportunities. Agent

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I enjoy the outdoors and music; love to fish and play guitar – not at the same time.

Keller Williams Realty Success Phone: 720-241-5215 Mobile: 303-525-9270 Office: 303-985-1901 sides.yourkwagent.com www.rockymtnhomes.net Where were you born? Born in Denver Colorado around the time dirt was invented

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? The best tip I can give someone selling is to hire me. What I mean by that is that you need someone with a lot of knowledge and the ability to continue to learn. These two things create win / win for Sellers. The process is complicated and changing. I work at helping clients reach their goal. If they do then I win as well.

How long have you lived in the area? A REALLY long time – since birth What do you like most about it? I love the mountains and the outdoor opportunities. How long have you worked in Real Estate? 20 years What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with? Foreclosures have always been a part of my business. Everything from helping people involved in the process to selling bank owned properties. We have done 100’s of properties and learned a lot.

It’s the same as for sellers except for one additional item. Lending has become very complex. Finding the right lender for your SPECIFIC case is essential. The pitfalls have grown over the past few years. Working with an agent and a loan originator that know how to get through it all is the biggest and the most important part of the process. What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? The most unusual and funniest cannot be mentioned here but I will say this… when you deal with people and professional services you see and hear lots of weird stuff. Usually what appears to be unusual is the expectations of people on all sides of a transaction. It seems weird but is usually due to lack of understanding and knowledge – sometimes funny and sometimes sad. The key is to stay ready to bring perspectives to together.

: With housing at skyhigh affordability are lenders still lending? Can I get a loan with the new stricter lending standards that are out there today? Are there low down payment programs still available? : You are correct that lending standards have changed dramatically in the last few years as banks and lenders have gone from very loose standards, particularly on subprime loans in the 2000s, to stricter standards today. Verification of ability to repay and assets for downpayment (and sometimes reserves), are now required as the stated income/ stated asset or no income/no asset loans no longer exist. Waiting periods after bank-

ruptcies, loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosures have all been extended – but loans are still available, even for people that have had those credit blemishes. As for low down payment programs, many counties, as well as CHAFA, offer down payment assistance programs, although most of those come with income or asset qualifiers. Additionally, grant programs with income qualifiers reduce down payment requirements to around $1000. The VA loan program, for veterans, offers a no downpayment program, and VA fees can be waived for those with disabilities. FHA offers a program with only 3.5 percent of the purchase price as a downpayment. The USDA program also offers a zero down program in certain rural areas. Finally, conventional loans are available with as little as 5 percent down. If you’re looking to purchase or refinance, seek out an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender, that you can meet face to face,

who has access to the full spectrum of loan and grant programs. Then work with them to select the proper loan and grant programs and have them customize them to best suit your needs. For more information on how you can purchase or refinance a home, please

Presidential project

Want to show former President Jimmy Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter what you would do if you had a hammer? Would you hammer in the morning? Hammer in the evening? All over this land? A few lucky folks will be chosen to work alongside the Carters during the 2013 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver from Oct. 6 through 11. This is the 30th anniversary of the presidential Habitat for Humanity event, and Denver is one of three cities in the U.S. getting the special project. Volunteers will build 11 new townhomes and repair up to 15 existing homes in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood. For more information, visit www.habitatmetrodenver.org.

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “We believe that we, all of us, need to seek a new approach to the environment,” says internationally recognized Dutch artist Claudy Jongstra, whose works are on display at Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts. Colorful tapestries hanging in the second floor atrium at Englewood’s Civic Center serve as an introduction to the exceptional collection displayed inside the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery. Step inside gallery doors and one is surrounded with fragrance, texture and intense color. Jongstra has worked with architects and curators throughout Europe and the U.S., spreading her message of sustainability, of connecting with nature — and beautifying large public spaces, as well as homes, restaurants and other environments. The new Barnes Collection in Philadelphia, the Fries Museum in the Netherlands, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Queen Mary University in London and the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in New York are but a few of the institutions where her large felt panels are installed. Jongstra has a farm in the northern Netherlands where she keeps 150 sheep — 17th-century Drenthe Heath heritage animals with long shaggy coats — which supply the wool. A large garden grows traditional dye plants providing colors such as indigo, madder, St. John’s Wort, rhubarb, larkspur and weld. She keeps bees to pollinate her flowers and dyes wool in hues reminiscent of 17thcentury Dutch Masters paintings. Nothing is wasted as she and members of her atlier (studio) create tapestries, wall coverings and other products to soften the environments where people work and live. Atlier associates Marleen Engebersen and Maeve van Klaveren, who work in Amsterdam, are with Jongstra to install the exhibit. Additional supplies are included in her work, such as silk, linen, merino wool, alpaca — all of them add textures to the work on display at MOA through July 13. In the gallery are a variety of panels and tapestries, skeins and bundles of yarn, samples of dried dye plants. A labyrinth of dried yellow chamomile flowers rests just to the right of the entrance beneath loops of dyed yarn samples.

Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works in LoDo and south in the Landmark development, is peddling a six-minute “sizzle reel” for a reality TV series about her crazy Comedy Works world. “The working title is called `Comedy Works’,” said Curtis, who wouldn’t divulge where or to whom she’s pitching the pilot project. “The principal characters are me, Lucy (her four-legged child), Jeff, our GM of the south club, and an assistant who is a sexy little 20-something who wants to break into comedy. “There are a few more (characters) slated to be introduced early on, but there’s only so much to get across in six minutes! We’ve gotten some strong feedback from the business; now let’s see if we can sell it.” Curtis said her motivation for exploring the reality TV possibilities was primarily financial. “Money inspired me ... to get out from underneath my debt faster!” she said.

Makes sense

Internationally known Dutch textile artist Claudy Jongstra prides herself on creations made with sustainable materials, such as this panel made of silk organza decorated with wool from her own sheep. if you go The Claudy Jongstra exhibit will be at the Museum of Outdoor Arts indoor gallery on the second level of the Englewood Civic Center through July 13. It is located at 1000 Englewood Parkway. Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays; 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Fridays; 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free. 303-806-0444. A countertop display illustrates the felting process, where wools are layered, then soaked and compressed. Ahead to the left are a series of sheer silk organza panels with wool felted onto them

in a random design, like little clouds floating. Similar sheer panels at the end of the gallery in front of the windows are further enhanced with colored embroidery. A second labyrinth form on the floor is overlaid with carded silk, which has a silvery sheen. Wall panels to the left are covered in a felted linen and were made in Colorado with fabric shipped from the Netherlands. A large tapestry with a series of red circles leads a visitor into the smaller gallery space, which holds more and varied tapestries.

When the creative team behind the musical interpretation of Jane Austen’s classic novel “Sense & Sensibility” first presented their idea to Tony-nominated director Marcia Milgrom Dodge, she thought they were kidding. How could Austen’s iconic 1811 work of romantic fiction possibly translate into a piece for musical theater? But the team convinced Milgrom Dodge, who fell in love with the formidable project. The result made its world premiere April 5 in Denver Center’s Stage Theatre. The result is a whimsical romp through the lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters, who go from riches to rags after the death of their father. The sisters and their mother move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, near the home of her cousin, Sir John Middleton. It’s at Barton where a series of tangled romances finally straighten themselves out. The exciting production values include sets that slide on and off stage or emerge from below or descend into trap doors. “Sense & Sensibility the Musical” runs through May 26. Tickets: 303-893-4100 or www.denvercenter.org.

Music, verve make for lively play By Sonya Ellingboe

IF YOU GO

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com As the audience enters the Vintage Theatre, it finds an old-fashioned wrap-around porch filling the stage — like the ones found on big old Southern homes. The setup for the band is just in front of the stage, which works really well — except perhaps for front row seats. Interaction between band and cast adds a nice note. Vintage Theatre, with director Deb Flomberg, has staged a really polished, well-designed production of the perennially popular “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” with its mix of ladies of the night and their wonderful madam, Miss Mona; twofaced politicians; a sheriff who just wants to run his territory undisturbed; and a bunch of randy football players. With score and lyrics by Carol Hall and a book by Larry L. King and Peter Masterson, the 1978 original Broadway production garnered six Tony Awards: for Best Musical, Featured Actor and Actress, Direction, Book and Choreography — in other words, a solid bit of material to work with. And Flomberg has picked up on the satire and humor to craft a well-paced, entertaining piece. The story is based on one written by King about the actual Chicken Ranch, in

Castle Rock

“Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” plays through May 5 at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays; 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $30 at the door, $25 advance. 303-856-7830, vintagetheatre.com.

You are invited to worship with us:

clean up the world, but Patrick Brownson is right on as the governor with his “Sidestep” dance. Choreography by Jamie Horban is cleverly worked out in limited space and Shaun Albrechtson’s set allows scenes within and without. Some of said scenes are probably not appropriate for the youngest family members, but teens and adults should enjoy the lively music and action. “Really this show is about just forgetting your troubles, sitting back and getting lost in a world filled with bright colors, fun, music, dance — lots and lots of dance,” said Flomberg. “Look closely and you’ll also find a story of strength in the face of adversity, moral corruption, political strife and loyalty to those who matter most. But you’ll also find fringe. And cowboy boots. And maybe even some sequins.”

Retablos, bultos, crosses and more are on ison exhibit this month at Chicano Humanistep”ties and Arts Council in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District. clev- “For generations, Hispanic villagers of haunNew Mexico and southern Colorado have andcreated Santos — religious images of Catholic Christian saints and Biblical scenes,” t ap-said curator Santero Ronn Miera. “They bers,used them in their homes, churches and ivelyprivate chapels to aid in worship and for adornment ….” rget- “Santitos” is the name of the 12th annual ttinggroup show of traditional and contempofun,rary santos and crosses at the CHAC Galsaidlery, 772 Santa Fe Drive. Participating artists include Teresa Dustoryran of Arvada; Jose Esquibel, Littleton; Lynn moralFresquez and Vanessa Fresquez, Denver; ty to find even

Ronn Miera, Brighton; and Carlos Santistevan y Familia, Denver. Master Santero Santistevan and his award-winning children Carlos Santistevan Jr. and Brigida Montes have created a family display Paintings and statues came up the Camino Real from Mexico with the first colonists to New Mexico in 1598 such as Don Juan de Onate. Between 30 and 50 mission churches were established. Early images were oil paintings, which could be rolled to travel, but local artists began to carve and paint wooden images and altar screens. Today’s santeros and santeras use many of the same materials their ancestors did — carving, finishing and sometimes painting to tell traditional stories. A Santito or Benedito is a small blessing given to a person who is headed out on

a journey, Miera said. Usually, they were made by a parent or grandparent. Esquibel, a scholar in the field, will talk at 1 p.m. April 20 about “Modern Usage of Santos.” He says we can use santos to enhance people’s lives. They can reconnect us to each other … ease pain and sorrow of this time and the circumstance in which we live. Modern usage is described as (1) Use of santos as a surrogate for our presence. (2) Use as teaching aids and devices. (3) Use to express a profound sentiment that cannot be expressed in any other way. (4) To celebrate accomplishments or mark significant public events. He will give examples and encourage conversation. He said he is tending the gallery on Saturdays. Visitors will find a friendly and knowledgeable source of information if they stop to ask questions about subjects or techniques.

Steak escape

Authors sit at tables so visitors can chat with them about writing or publishing during last year’s “Meet the Faces Behind the Books” event. This year, there will be 47 authors at the event scheduled for April 28. File photo and children. This year, several children’s authors will each do a 20-minute story time, sharing important points about the books he or she writes. When the event was held the first year, 10 Colorado authors took part in the program and about 100 people came to the event. Library personnel spent quite a bit of time lining up writers. But, as the event grew over the years and the word spread, authors began calling and asking to be part of the program. Parker said the criteria established the first year is still in place, requiring authors to have a book pub-

lished in the preceding two years. Judging from comments from authors at previous event, this gathering is popular because it is an opportunity for authors to be exposed to new readers and for readers to meet the people who wrote books they have read. The event also is a plus for the Englewood Public Library, introducing the facility to people who may have never visited it before. This year’s lineup includes writers of fiction and non-fiction for adults, children’s authors as well as those who writer books for young adults.

The Travel Channel recently aired an episode of the series “Food Paradise” with a third “Steak Paradise” edition, which included a stop at Vesta Dipping Grill, 1822 Blake St. Personally, when I think Denver steak house, Vesta doesn’t come to top of mind, but the “Food Paradise” peeps “steaked” a claim to Vesta. In the piece, diners rave about Vesta’s beef steak dishes - including the signature surf and turf, which is a flatiron steak with Manila clams - as well as waxing poetic about Vesta’s venison filet. Former executive chef Matt Selby (who now runs the kitchen at Corner House), talks about the veracity of venison for the camera. The segment likely will air again on the Travel Channel, but until then, you can check it out at www.travelchannel.com/ video/a-steak-by-any-other-name.

Pirates aim to regain winning form Team needs wins to make bid for baseball playoffs By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Since Englewood won’t win a league baseball title with its automatic playoff berth, the Pirates’ focus now shifts to winning their remaining games to nail down a wild-card spot in the 32-team Class 4A state tournament. “We have been battling since we were 5-1, and the three losses means we probably won’t win one of the two league playoff berths,” Pirates coach Mike Rowe said April 15, when the Pirates’ record was 6-4-1, with a 3-3 record in the Colorado 7 league. “So, we need to focus on the remaining eight games because every win gives us points that could help us get a wild-card playoff berth.” There are 71 Class 4A teams in about a dozen leagues. The state format means 26 to 28 teams will gain automatic playoff berths, based on league finishes. The Pirates now are seeking to earn one of the remaining four to six wild-card berths. Weather permitting, the Pirates were to be at home April 18 in a non-league game against Jefferson, and on April 19, they are scheduled to travel to Weld Central to play a game postponed by weather. On April 22, the Pirates are on the road at Kennedy High School, then will begin a home-andhome series with Vista Peak and a home-and-home series with Fort Morgan to close out the regular season. As the season enters the home stretch, the coach said the team played well the first six games of the year, but then things became more difficult as poor grades sidelines some of the players. “We have moved guys around,

Pirates first baseman Eric Almanzar takes a throw from the pitcher in an attempt to pick off an Elizabeth runner. The runner was safe and Elizabeth won the April 3 game. Photo by Tom Munds they have done their best, but we have struggled for the last few games,” Rowe said. “For example, early in the year, we were pounding the baseball. Lately, facing basically the same caliber pitching, we aren’t getting base hits, particularly those timely hits we need, so we are leaving a lot of guys in scoring position.” The coach said the hope is the team will once again have the full roster needed to help the Pirates return to their winning ways. So far this season, Gerardo Gutierrez is playing well. He was a starter last year and has been behind the plate for most games this season. “I like being a catcher,” he said

‘I work a lot on smothering and handling the low pitches, and I also work to make better throws to second base so we can put out a guy trying to steal.’ Gerardo Gutierrez in a recent interview. “Behind the plate, you are part of every play your team makes in the field.” He said the most difficult job as a catcher is digging out the low pitches that are in the dirt while

making sure the ball doesn’t get by you. “I work a lot on smothering and handling the low pitches, and I also work to make better throws to second base so we can put out a guy trying to steal,” he

said. Gutierrez said he is hitting the ball pretty well this season and attributed the success to the fact that the Pirates now have an indoor hitting cage, and the fact that he worked on his hitting in the cage almost every day, even during football season. “I am working to be able to pull the ball to the opposite field and avoid getting jammed by a pitch at the plate,” he said. “I feel I am hitting pretty well this season. In a recent game, I went four-for-four with a home run. It felt good to hit a homer. I got the ball on the sweet spot and it felt like a practice swing, but I knew it was going to clear the fence right away.”

Englewood’s girls tennis team raised its overall dual meet record to 3-2 and its league record to 2-0 on April 11 by posting a 4-3 win home win over Fort Lupton. “We really are playing pretty well so far this season,” Coach Kenny Anderson said

before the Fort Lupton match. “We basically are a young, inexperienced team. While we do have five girls returning from last year, only three of them played varsity. The other two girls played junior varsity and rest of our team is basically new to the sport.” Anderson added that this year’s team is in its first year in the Colorado 7 League, which is a big plus because the league is made up of teams at about the same talent level as the Pirates. “It is good to go out with a chance to win a league match,” he said. “That’s better than Tennis continues on Page 25

Mexico and it takes less time to become a doctor in their schools.’ Cecilia Esparza was a battle between two pretty evenly matched teams. Englewood got wins from Christina McNitt at No. 1 singles and Cecilia Esparza at No. 2 singles, to go with Addie Silfast and Marissa Johnson at No. 2 doubles and Kaytlyn Martinez and Shelby Moore at No. 3 doubles to win the match 4-3. After her match, junior Cecilia Esparza talked about tennis as well as about her future. “I really like tennis. It is my sport,” she said. “My freshman year, I was sitting on my couch, I was bored and so I decided to go out for tennis and I found I like the sport a lot.” She said the hardest tennis skill for her to learn was to deliver an effective serve. “My serves are getting much better,” she said. “Part of that is because I learned

a new serve with backspin on it. The backspin makes the ball go higher and makes it harder to return.” Looking beyond tennis, Esparza talked about her plans for the future. “I am graduating early so, next year, I can go to Mexico to attend medical school,” she said. “I am going to a school in Guadalajara in the middle of the country. I like Mexico and it takes less time to become a doctor in their schools.” She said that in Mexico, she will spend four years in general medical studies, a year of internship, a year of community service and three years studying her specialty, pediatrics. “I want to be a pediatrician because I like kids,” she said. “When I complete all my training needed to be licensed as a doctor, I plan to stay in the city where I went to school and build my practice treating Mexican children.”

The first step in processing wool begins on the farm with the shearing of the animal. Bob Schroth, a museum interpreter, uses electric shears with an articulated arm to remove a sheep’s wool during a demonstration at the Littleton Museum’s Sheep to Shawl event.

Sheepin’ it Real PHOTOS BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY

Sheep to Shawl is an annual Littleton Museum educational event that walks visitors through the process of turning wool into cloth using 18th-century techniques. Demonstrations of sheep-shearing, wool-dyeing and hand-spinning took visitors to the 1860s at this classic spring festival, held April 13. Dogs displayed their skills with sheep-herding demonstrations throughout the day.

Brightly colored strands of sheep yarn dry in the sun at the Littleton Museum’s Sheep to Shawl event. The annual festival documents traditional wool processing steps, from shearing, to working the wool, to weaving it into beautiful usable items such as shawls.

For more than 30 years, the Littleton Museum has served as the primary repository for the history, art and culture of Littleton. The 39-acre facility at 6028 S. Gallup St. has two living history farms — one from the 1860s and one from the 1890s — a small lake, a collections center, and a main exhibition and administration building.

Rosie the herding dog plays a role like her counterparts on working sheep farms and ranches, where dogs work closely with humans to effectively and efficiently move animals from place to place.

Jennifer Woeste, a historical interpreter with the Littleton Museum, examines the beautiful crimson yarn she has dyed using traditional methods found in the 1860s. Woeste and others were part of the museum’s annual Sheep to Shawl event on April13.
