Sounds of Summer series is a hit Hundreds gather to listen at free shows in Englewood

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Twila Castillo said she attended her first Sounds of Summer concert June 13, returned June 20 and plans to be at each of Englewood’s free Thursday events this year.

“I read about the concerts in the paper and I decided I’d come see what it is like,” the Littleton resident said as she settled down for the second concert of the season.

“I brought my two girls last week and they had a great time running and playing and I enjoyed the music. They wanted to come again this week so we packed a picnic and here we are. It is a great outing for us because I can relax and let the girls run around while I talk to all the friendly people around me. We plan to come to all the concerts just to enjoy ourselves.”

Castillo was among about 500 people who attended the June 20 concert to listen to old and new country songs performed by Tumbling Dice. The grassy area in front of the stage was a favorite seating area, while many who brought folding chairs lined both sides of the walkways on each side of

Hundreds of music lovers attend the June 20 Sounds of Summer concert. The event was the second in the lineup of Englewood’s free summer concerts. the grassy area. Quite a few people opted to move a little farther from the stage, setting up their chairs in shady areas.

Volunteers from City Center Community staffed the table, handing out free popcorn and water. They thanked those who opted to drop money into the donation box. The

volunteers also got children and even a few adults involved with attempting to keep the hula hoops circling their hips instead of hitting the ground.

Staff report Englewood police urge residents to leave fireworks to the professionals around the July 4 holiday or face a ticket and possible fine.

The municipal ticket can mean a court appearance where the judge determines the penalties, with a maximum fine of $1,000 and/or 360 days in jail.

The Englewood Police Department announced officers will be strictly enforcing the city regulations prohibiting possession, storing, selling, using or igniting fireworks in the city limits except with a permit from Englewood’s fire marshal. The ban on private use of fireworks prohibits the use of all kinds of fireworks, including sparklers.

A statement from the city said Englewood police always take fireworks violations seriously. However, with all the recent wildfires throughout the state and the ongoing open-burning ban in Englewood and Arapahoe County, officers will be cracking down even harder this summer.

Extra patrols are being added before, during, and after the Fourth of July holiday, with several officers assigned specifically to enforce fireworks violations.

Residents who enjoy fireworks are encouraged to attend the professional display at the annual Fourth of July Family Festival and Fireworks on July 4 at Belleview Park, Cornerstone Park and Progress Park, all located near the intersection of West Belleview Avenue and South Windermere Street in Englewood.

Still no arraignment in wrench attack Judge draws line, sets firm hearing date in August

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The arraignment of Codell Loats, accused of beating his parents with a large wrench last year in their Englewood home, has been continued until Aug. 5.

Arapahoe County District Court Judge

Elizabeth Weishaupl discussed why the continued delay was necessary before granting the request of public defender Julia Marchelya to continue the arraignment.

Loats, 29, faces charges included firstdegree attempted murder in the Sept. 14 incident in the 4700 block of South Acoma Street.

When the Loats case was called for arraignment June 24 and the public defender asked for a continuance, the judge noted this was scheduled as a final arraignment

and asked for reasons it should be continued.

Marchelya said she was requesting the continuance because all investigations hadn’t been completed and she wasn’t prepared to enter a plea in the case.

Loats “We want to do the appropriate evaluations and have had difficulties locating the doctor to do those evaluations,” Marchelya said. “I ask for the arraignment be continued until Aug. 5.”

Judge Weishaupl agreed to the request but added that, on Aug. 5, she either would hear a plea or make a disposition of the case.

An arraignment is the court hearing where the defendant or the attorney enters a plea.

The first arraignment for Loats was scheduled Jan. 7. The June 24 continuation marks the fifth time a new date for the arraignment has been set.

Loats was arrested Sept. 16 in Morrison and has been held in the Arapahoe County jail on $50,000 bond since.

Loats was brought into the courtroom with a number of other inmates. Handcuffs and ankle shackles were joined by a chain to a chain around his waist. He was cleanshaven and appeared in good spirits as he smiled as he talked to his public defender.

The defendant’s parents attended previous arraignments, seeking court permission to see their son because it wasn’t allowed due to a protection order.

Loats’ father spoke and asked the judge to at least allow phone contact. That was granted and, at the May arraignment, the judge permitted each parent to make phone contact with their son once a week and allowed family members to write to him.

For the first time, the parents weren’t in the courtroom on June 24, but three family members did attend. The family members didn’t identify their relationship and declined to make any comment on the case or the court decision.

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Although Colorado urges medical and other professionals to report cases of abuse of at-risk elders, it had been one of only three states that did not mandate it.

However, starting July 1, 2014, SB 13-111 will require not only medical and law enforcement professionals, but others — including clergy and financial institutions — to report known or suspected abuse or exploitation of adults over the age of 70.

Those who don’t may face criminal prosecution.

While many of the county’s resources, such as its Adult Protection Team and 24-hour hotline to report abuse, are not new, spokesperson Haley McKean said the county is already ramping up outreach programs to educate and train those that will soon be required to report abuse.

“Counties do anticipate an increase in our adult protection caseloads when the state’s new mandated reporter law goes into effect next summer,” said Arapahoe County District 2 Commissioner Nancy Sharpe, who was part of a statewide elder abuse task force that helped usher in the new legislation.

Arapahoe County is home to more than 41,000 adults age 70 and older — a population that, according to the Colorado State Demography Office, is expected to double by 2025. Statewide, that number is expected to expected to increase 28 percent by 2017, and 142 percent by 2032.

“The law is great, but it’s disappointing we had to pass legislation to get people to do what they should be doing in the first place,” said Karen Dennison, 47, of Denver, who works as a contract home health aide. “I guess it gives us the flexibility to report things directly to the state, but I’m curious to see how a lot of these home health care company policies on reporting may change that.”

Caseworkers found that 487 at-risk adults suffered selfneglect, 287 were neglected by their caregivers, 208 were exploited financially or otherwise exploited by a person in a position of trust, and 131 fell victim to some form of abuse.

People in many fields must report abuse When a law on reporting of elder abuse takes effect next year, people in the following categories, whether paid or unpaid, will be required to report cases of known or suspected abuse or exploitation: • Physicians, surgeons, physicians’ assistants, osteopaths, physicians in training, podiatrists, occupational and physical therapists • Medical examiners and coroners • Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and nurse practitioners • Emergency medical service providers • Hospital and long-term care facility personnel engaged in the admission, care or treatment of patients • Chiropractors • Psychologists and other mental health professionals • Social workers • Clergy members • Dentists • Law enforcement officials and personnel • Court-appointed guardians and conservators • Fire protection personnel • Pharmacists • Community-centered board staff • Personnel of banks, savings and loans, credit unions and other financial or lending institutions • Home health providers and associated personnel To report cases of abuse or neglect, call Arapahoe County’s 24-hour neglect hotline at 303-636-1750.

Most were over the age of 60, frail or suffered from dementia or mental illness.

Among the most common incidents in 2012 were cases of self-neglect, neglect and financial exploitation.

“I guess it’s a step in the right direction to make more people responsible,” Dennison said. “More people means more eyes. It can’t hurt.”

Real Estate Breakfast is eye-opener Panelists see market revival in south metro Denver area

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com Panelists at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce’s 18th annual Real Estate Breakfast forecast a happy future for those in the industry, as well as home sellers and the overall south suburban economy.

“Clearly, the real estate market is recovering and strengthening, the residential market particularly,” Sterling Ranch principal Harold Smethills told an audience of about 500 gathered June 20 at Lone Tree’s Marriott Denver South.

South Metro Denver Realtor Association chairwoman Jo Pellegrino Ellis ticked off a list of positive metro-area housing statistics, which showed from May 2012 to May 2013 new listings increased by 21.8 percent, sales by 22.5 percent, median home prices by 8 percent, and the days of buyers pitching successful low-ball offers are ending.

“Total days on the market are down about 38 percent (to) about 47 days,” Ellis said, adding the average changes with location. “Some places in Highlands Ranch, they’re on the market for a number of hours.”

Everitt Real Estate Center director Eric Holsapple echoed some of Smethills’ and Ellis’ optimism, noting that 60,000 new jobs are expected in Colorado in the next year.

The bad news?

“People are making less money,” Holsapple said. “I call it the Walmarting effect. Lower-price housing is really in demand. Housing starts are up, but only about 50 percent of where we were in 2006-07.”

Holsapple and Ellis both said the anticipated rise in interest rates isn’t cause for fear, particularly for real estate

agents.

“When interest rates start to creep up a little bit, buyers really jump on the market,” Ellis said.

A lack of temporary housing is creating roadblocks for some potential sellers, she said.

“If my house sells in two days, will I have a place to go?”

Ellis said. “Temporary housing, six-month leases, now even those are hard to find.”

Smethills said the demand for types of housing is changing, however. The Millennials, also known as Generation Y and the echo boomers, are in their prime real estate buying years, with many singles seeking smaller housing units, while aging baby boomers want homes with main-floor master bedrooms.

Meanwhile, a rise in multi-generational housing requires yet another housing type, he said.

“All of this winds up making a large amount of our (existing) real estate obsolete,” Smethills said.

The availability of industrial space in the south metro area is tightening as more businesses move in, Industrial Property Group vice president Jeremy Ballenger said.

“These groups are looking for workforce and quality of life,” he said. “That’s why they’re coming here.”

Smethills advised companies looking for commercial property to carefully consider location.

“Having your commercial/industrial next to a robust, multi-level-price point housing market is very important,” he said. “Many people want to live close to work. They don’t want to commute.”

Ongoing and approved construction in the south metro area further supports the panelists’ good-news statements.

In Lone Tree alone, the city has so far in 2013 approved $200 million in building permits; that figure stood at $177.4 million in 2012. Both annual tallies represented a fourfold increase from the five preceding years.

Animals, owners receive diplomas Ceremony marks completion of Freedom Service Dogs training

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com There were a lot of smiles, quite a few tears and even some excited barks during the June 22 Freedom Service Dogs graduation ceremonies at Hampden Hall in Englewood.

“This is a big day for Lori, Lola and I,” said Bill Schmitz, referring to his wife, Lori, and her service dog before the ceremony.

“Lola, our service dog, will be a huge help to us. Lori has multiple sclerosis and Lola is always right there to pick up anything she drops. Also, the dog has her own portable phone that, when it rings, Lola picks it up and takes it to Lori. She is very much a part of our family.”

He smiled and added that Lola even has her own shelf in the refrigerator.

“The shelf is stocked with bottles of water,” the Arvada resident said. “When Lori wants a bottle of water, she tells Lola. The dog opens the refrigerator door and gently takes out a bottle of water and brings it to Lori.”

Bill added the family has been Freedom Service Dogs supporters. He said there was an appeal for donations to cover the bills so a dog could have needed surgery on her front joints. The family donated to the project and the dog that received surgery turned out to be Lola. The family has provided a weekend foster home for dogs in training, and Bill has picked up rescued dogs from shelters and brought them to the Englewood Freedom Service Dogs facility.

The graduation ceremonies for the Schmitz family and Lola was also a special occasion for Michael and Sheri Folsom, owners of Englewood-based Cowboy Moving and Storage.

“I have always had dogs and we have too because we love them,” Michael said.

“We met the people from Freedom Service Dogs a few years ago when they moved into Englewood. We donated some moving services to help them, learned about what they do and have been supporters ever since. We have included FSD and their dogs in many of our commercials.”

It takes about eight months and costs about $25,000 to train a Freedom Service Dog. The couple said they admired the work of Freedom Service Dogs, wanted to help them with their mission and, this year, they decided to cover the entire cost of training a dog.

“The dog we sponsored was Lola and it was a perfect fit when she was teamed up with Lori,” the Sedalia resident said. “It is so great to see Lola and Lori together and all the joy and help the dog brings. Words can’t do justice to the feelings we have when we see Lori and Lola together.”

Sheri said they like the work Freedom Service Dogs does and they also like the fact that FSD rescues dogs from shelters so they won’t be put down but can be trained to help others. She added she’d like to chal-

lenge other companies to sponsor the training of a Freedom Service Dog. “Of course, all rescued dogs aren’t able to complete the FSD training,” she said. “But, when a dog isn’t able to complete training because of things like a love of chasing butterflies or squirrels, Freedom Service Dogs makes sure to find a good home for the animal. As a matter of fact, one of our dogs is Farley, a dog that wasn’t able to complete the FSD training.”

Wisconsin resident Kevin Foster and his dog Brinley also received Freedom Service Dogs diplomas during the ceremonies “This is a big day for my dog Brinley and I,” Foster, a Vietnam veteran, said before the ceremony. “I read a book called `Until Tuesday’ that talked about how much a service dog could help people like me who suffer with PTSD. I signed up with FSD, was on the waiting list and now, almost a year later, Brinley and I are graduating.”

Foster said he has already spent a lot of time with Brinley.

“Being with Brinley is calming and the dog has already kept me from sliding backwards in my mind to those really bad times,” he said. “We graduate, then head to the bus station for the 25-hour ride back to Wisconsin.”

Chuck Flynn, another veteran, had similar comments about what having a Freedom Service Dog named Mader has meant to him.

“I was getting treatment for PTSD at the Veterans Administration hospital and a doctor suggested a service dog might help me,” the southeast Denver resident said.

“My big problems are intense flashbacks and nightmares. Since Mader came into my life, she comforts me, helps me keep calm, and the flashbacks and nightmares happen lest frequently and when they do, they are less intense. Mader is truly a blessing to me and I appreciate all the hard work that went into training her so she can help me.”

ManCaves are coming to area Vacant three-acre lot to house new dude-centric development

By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com A three-acre vacant lot across from the Denver Broncos training facility will soon be the home to ManCaves, an industrial condo-like development designed to give guys — and gals — more room for their stuff.

The concept came about through developer Matt Mullin’s frustration with finding adequate space to work on his car.

“Storage units were too small and of course, a warehouse was too big, and retail space is too expensive and comes with restrictions,” said Mullin from his home in Park City, Utah. “I needed something in between.”

Mullin, and his partners Jack Koson and Terry Staples, hope to create more than just a place to store cars, RVs and boats. Mullin said he hopes the design will also foster a sense of community with the 64-unit, 60,000-square-foot facility.

“There will be a common lounge and other amenities,” he said. “We hope the

concept will bring together people of similar interests and the best part is, it’s not a place you rent. You own it.”

Single units run approximately 450 square feet and are priced at $55,000, plus an annual owners’ association fee.

Although not zoned for residential living, units will be accessible anytime and ownership can be split among friends.

Financing is available through ManCaves or though a preferred lender.

Each man cave will come with ample power outlets, concrete floors and stainless steel walls, fully customizable to individual needs and tastes.

Multiple units may also be purchased to accommodate owners who want more space.

“The possibilities are endless,” Mullin said. “They can be everything from just storage to high-end hangouts with pool tables and big screen televisions.”

Mullin said ManCaves hopes to break ground by the end of the year, but that will depend on unit pre-sales.

Man Caves is located at 13303 E. Adam Aircraft Circle, near Broncos Parkway. For more information on Man Caves or for presale queries, visit www.getmancaves.com or call 970-626-2283.

ManCaves, a new “dude-centric” development, is hoping to break ground later this year in Centennial on a three-acre plot of land near Broncos Parkway and Adams Aircraft Circle. The project, shown in this artist’s rendering, is designed to attract and create a community for car collectors, hobbyists and weekend project warriors. Courtesy image englewood herald

Middle school makeover taking shape Construction in high gear to prepare for students’ return

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood Middle School is a major construction site inside and out, with crews working to make sure most of the major overhaul of the building will be completed when students return in early September.

Those on the June 14 tour of middle school facilities saw crews tear out remaining block walls as framework goes up for new walls in one hallway while, in another hallway, there are finished classrooms.

The work underway is the makeover of Englewood Middle School to eventually become the campus of Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School.

However, Englewood Middle School students will be in the building until the new seventh- through 12th-grade campus at the Englewood High School site is completed by the 2014 holiday break.

When the students return from break in January 2015, the high school students and the middle school students will be in their new classrooms and the students attending Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will report to classes at their new campus at 300 W. Chenango Ave. To keep on schedule at the middle school, the pace of work is in high gear be-

it will take about another 60 days to wrap up the work and have the construction crews moved out of the building.”

Construction at the middle school has been going on throughout the school year.

For months, dust and construction sounds daily traveled through the building as crews

worked in one portion of the building while classes went on in other areas of the facility.

“We are moving forward because all last school year the construction crews and the students and staff at the middle school cooperated, so a great deal of work was completed while classes were in session,” Ewert said. “All possible efforts are made to keep the dust and noise to a minimum but there still is dust and noise. The cooperation of a students, teachers and construction crews made it possible for the work to move along well.”

When Ewert, school officials and visitors toured the middle school June 14, they saw crews were ripping out a parking lot in order to create a new front entrance. Inside the building, the group visited one hallway that was lined with classrooms full of students a couple weeks ago that now was a long open area with lines of aluminum studs marking where the new walls would be built.

However, the tour also saw several completed areas, such as what will become science classrooms. In those rooms, the painting has been completed and cabinets have been mounted on the walls. A major addition to the science classrooms is the garagetype door in one wall that allows access to the outside area.

The cost of the middle school makeover is about $17 million. To cover the costs, the school district received a state grant for $8 million and the remainder is money from voter-approved bonds.

happy that Brothers was going to paint the house for us.’

Cindy Steward so excited when they called me and asked me if I would be OK with volunteers coming in to paint my house. I cried because I was so happy. What they are doing means everything in the world to me. It means we can continue to keep our home looking nice like we have since we moved in here.”

Cindy Steward, Brinkhoff’s daughter, now lives with her.

“Mom yelled and cried when they called us because she was so happy that Brothers was going to paint the house for us,” she said. “The house is important to us and it is important to us to keep it looking nice. But right now, we can’t do the work and we don’t have the money to have it done. That is why this Paint-A-Thon is truly a blessing to us and we thank everyone who is part of the project.”

The Paint-A-Thon has been an annual project for Denver-based Brothers Redevelopment since 1978. Each year, Brothers Redevelopment seeks the support of individual and corporate sponsors to provide money for supplies and, as they begin planning the individual projects, the company seeks teams of eight to 25 volunteers from organizations to do the work. Last year, 1,932 people volunteered more than 14,000 hours to paint 107 houses.

Brothers also seeks nominations for people who take pride in their homes but are no longer physically and financially able to tackle major projects like painting the house.

The average Paint-A-Thon recipient is 74 years old and has a monthly income of about $1,400. Since the program was created in 1978, volunteers have painted more than 6,700 Colorado homes.

Originally, the project enlisted volunteers to paint 100 homes in one day. Starting in 2009, a March to September season was adopted for Paint-A-Thon.

Englewood has held free summer concerts since receiving grant funds for the program in 1994.

The grants from Arapahoe County ended after the 1999 season. But, because of the popularity of the free concerts, the Englewood City Council approved funding to continue the program.

Originally, the concerts were held at the Plaza at Little Dry Creek.

With the construction of the amphitheater as part of the CityCenter Englewood development, the decision was made in 2003 to move the concert series to the new venue.

B On July 4, have a blast, without fireworks opinions / yours and ours

Once again, it looks like many of Colorado’s communities are headed toward a Fourth of July without fireworks.

Last year, arguably Colorado’s worst ever for wildfires, saw a statewide burning ban that prohibited fireworks. Already this year, fires have scorched tens of thousands of acres throughout the state.

No statewide ban has been put in place as of yet, but make no mistake, Colorado is in emergency mode. In many counties, officials have taken common-sense, precautionary measures and instituted burning rules that, among other things, outlaw personal use and professional displays of fireworks.

Unless the skies open up immediately and consistently, these bans are likely to

our view

remain in place at least through July 4. For many, that means, like last year, celebrating the holiday without one of our nation’s most treasured traditions.

Yes, fireworks are fun. They have come to be seen as a sparkling, brilliant reminder of our independence. But much of Colorado is too dry, the conditions too ripe for danger, to risk it.

question of the week

What will you do for fun on July 4?

With the cancellation of many professional fireworks displays due to stage 2 fire bans, we asked four residents of Highlands

Ranch at the 2013 Hawaiian Ho’olaule’a Summer Festival how they plan to have fun on the Fourth of July.

“I haven’t really thought about the Fourth of July yet.

I have two young children, so it’s difficult for us to watch a fireworks display.”

— Delaine Baker, Highlands Ranch “I will probably still have a fire in my backyard even with a fire ban because we don’t have any grass back there.”

— Sam Rosean, Highlands Ranch

“I will probably get a bunch of friends together and run around at the park and have a dance competition.”

— Tanner Steed, Highlands Ranch “I really don’t know. I haven’t figured that out yet. I usually watch the fireworks, but I’m sure I will find something to do.”

— John Harada, Highlands Ranch

‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is about accountability Probably one of the most recognized, overused, and abused break-up lines of all time, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

For all of the Seinfeld fans out there, you will recall that in one episode Jason Alexander’s character, George Costanza, actually claimed that he invented this break-up maneuver when one of his love interests used the very same line on him when trying to end the relationship. And I know that many people still use this line or tactic to end relationships or let others down easy, or maybe both.

I like the line for a different reason. Forgetting the overused and abused relationship and break-up analogy for a moment, how often have we used the very same line when deflecting blame for something we have done or have not done? Do we take accountability and own it, “It’s not you, it’s me?” Or do we reverse it and place the problem squarely on someone else, “It’s not me, it’s you?”

I much prefer the original version, “It’s not you, it’s me.” Personal accountability is the first rung on the ladder of success. And it is not just when something has gone horribly wrong or where there is an opportunity to place or accept blame, it is also true when given an opportunity or challenge to tackle a big project or task. Strong leaders use this tactic all the time. And they use it in a couple of ways, one to lead by example and the other to give a team member a chance to step up and demonstrate a competency or capability.

In the example of leading by example or leading from the front, a good manager or leader may recognize that there is an opportunity for a teaching moment and they jump in and say, “Wait a minute, it’s not your turn yet, let me demonstrate this for you one more time, OK?” And then they show their employee or team member the proper way to execute a specific job or function. Especially when there could be a safety concern.

And conversely, the employee may feel that they are ready to demonstrate their readiness and capabilities and use the very same line, “I’ve got this boss, it’s not you, it’s my turn.” And so the strong leader allows their team member to try. This is another teaching moment, just moving from the “doing” of everything for everyone, to “giving” an opportunity to learn and grow.

But even if we do reverse it, “It’s not me, it’s you,” this too can be used when a coach or leader calls upon an employee or team member to step up because they know that they are ready to give something a shot.

“It’s not me this time, it’s you, it’s a big project but I am confident you can handle it.”

Both situations allow for growth, ownership, success, and building a solid foundation to build upon.

It’s only in times of blame or difficulties when we reverse the line and fall back on the comfortable crutch of “It’s not me, it’s you,” that we stifle growth in ourselves and others as we deflect ownership and accountability.

How have you used the line? Is it you?

Or is it someone else? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com and let’s make this a better than good week.

Michael Norton, a resident of Highlands Ranch, is the former president of the Zig Ziglar organization and CEO and founder of www.candogo.com

We see this as a necessary inconvenience. Moreover, we encourage residents to be diligent in following whatever restrictions their county or municipality has imposed. A single, carelessly discarded cigarette has been known to start a major wildfire. Certainly, flaming objects designed to explode in the air have the potential to create at least as much havoc.

Consider some statistics from the National Fire Protection Association: In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,8000 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires and 16,300 outside and other fires. These fires resulted in an estimated eight reported civilian deaths, 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage. In a normal year, more

fires are reported on July 4 than on any other day, and fireworks are the major culprit, according to the association.

Imagine the potential for disaster if errant fireworks landed in a wooded area of Colorado. It’s not worth the risk for a few minutes of viewing pleasure.

And if doing the right thing for Coloradans’ safety isn’t enough, consider the potential damage to a scofflaw’s wallet.

In unincorporated Douglas County, for example, setting off fireworks comes with up to a $1,000 fine. We could make a case that fines should be even stiffer.

Independence Day is rooted in major sacrifice. Eating hot dogs and enjoying the company of family and friends without fireworks is a rather small one.

A fifth sense tells me where to shop When it’s time to go to the grocery store and pick up some dog food and strawberries, where do you go? And why?

There are five good grocery stores ten minutes from my front door. I wind up at the same one most of the time. You’ll never guess why.

They’re all convenient, so that isn’t it.

Because one has the best coupons? I think coupons are a form of condescension. If you want to act like a gerbil and nibble coupons out of the newspaper, go ahead.

The employees? If I stray from my favorite, that’s the reason. There’s a vegetable gentleman who knows his vegetables.

There’s a woman in the deli who knows her deli. There’s a cute girl in meat and seafood. I’m fond of an employee who works at self-checkout. She and my sister have the same name.

Value for my dollar? I am not very conscious of things like that. I should be.

I’ll pay more for the item with the bestlooking label.

The reason why I shop at one store more than the others is the sound of music.

I am not sure why there is music in grocery stores at all. Is it awkward if it’s too quiet around the crab cakes? Does music lubricate sales? All I know is that in four of the five stores, the music is abysmal.

Most of the music is offensive, too loud, and chosen by Farmer Ted, Hallmark, or someone named Dude.

It doesn’t seem to matter. “Here is some music, on the house. It may be an irritant, but at least we were thinking of you.”

No you weren’t. Stores spend a lot of

money on marketing, but, like I said, Dude is the disc jockey.

The shopping experience, if it must include music, is much better when it seems like someone cares what I am listening to, not just the stuff the feds used to try to flush out the Branch Davidians.

One of the four stores began to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving. I can’t stand Christmas music to begin with.

Five weeks of it is unbearable.

I am not going to name names, but here’s a hint. In my favorite store, you can buy some of the music you have just listened to — in the checkout line.

And another thing, you won’t hear some irksome recording telling you how great the place is over and over from the store’s speakers while you’re shopping.

The world of music has never been more inclusive and brilliant. Employ someone to program it who sees that. And hears that.

Braille Carnival held at center for blind ks

cul-

120 attend Littleton event devoted to writing system

By Jennifer Smith

er- jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com a of Louis Braille made a surprise visit to the Colorado Cenw ter for the Blind on June 18 — extremely surprising, given that he’s been dead for 161 years.

“I’m having a great time,” said “Braille” — portrayed by e center instructor Tom Anderson — as kids practiced writ. ing during the center’s Braille Carnival. “It’s great meeting r ith the young children, and the adults and seniors, too.”

The event hosted 120 blind people of all ages to expease rience a variety of tactile and interactive learning stations. or They gathered in the wood shop to learn the basics of the braille using large “dots.”

In the kitchen, they chose a card, then found the utensil t or appliance printed on it. There were candy prizes for successfully completing a word scramble of technology terms in the computer lab.

In the travel lab, they attempted a puzzle of the United States and learned intersection safety using Hot Wheels.

There were card games, art projects and pizza for lunch.

In the library, “Braille” demonstrated how to write using a slate and stylus, essentially poking dots through a template into paper with a sharp object.

Anderson has been teaching braille at the center since its inception 25 years ago.

He donned an elegant purple period outfit to explain the virtues of the writing system the real Braille invented in 1824 at the tender age of 15.

Blinded by an accident with an awl at the age of 3, Braille was inspired by a method used by French soldiers as a way to write in the dark.

Today, there are 190 characters in American braille, with combinations of dots representing letters, numbers, math symbols, contractions and even some shortcuts, like one for the letters “ou” together.

“Braille is not as difficult as people think it is,” said Anderson. “It’s not uncommon for people to read as quickly as sighted people do in print, even 300 or 400 words a minute.

But unfortunately, many children are discouraged from learning braille.”

Julie Deden, CCB’s executive director, says there are a lot of misconceptions about the system. People think it’s hard to learn, that it’s slow and inefficient, or that technology can replace it.

“Let’s face it, listening does not equal literacy,” she writes, noting that kids who rely on audio don’t learn spell-

Group seeks feedback to protect watershed Authority responsible for Chatfield region

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com A variety of entities have joined forces to discuss the future of the Chatfield watershed region, which runs from Chatfield Reservoir to Douglas County’s southern border, and they want everyone to weigh in.

“We need to look at the watershed now to protect it in the future,” said Amy King of Tetra Tech, the consulting company working with the Chatfield Watershed Authority, during a June 19 public meeting. CWA was established in 1984 by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in an effort to protect water quality.

“We believe it’s essential to have residents and local businesses involved with industry professionals to share vital information about the watersheds we serve to protect and be part of the solution to improve water quality and overall health of the watershed,” Julie Vlier, CWA’s water manager, said in a press release. “Some great ideas are being generated by the public to improve water quality and protect the water resources important to the public while providing multiple benefits to recreational users, wildlife and the ecosystem.”

Member agencies include the Audubon Society, Denver Water, a variety of water and sanitation districts, several municipalities, the Denver Urban Water Partnership and many more. DUWP concerns itself with the entire South Platte River corridor, including the Barr-Milton watershed, which serves everything north of the reservoir nearly to Greeley.

King said discussion so far has focused on things like stream restoration and mitigating the effects of wildfire — coinciden-

ing and punctuation. “Not to mention, the act of quietly holding a book in your hands and reading for the pleasure of it is a gift. Independent reading is true independence of the mind. Braille is the only thing equivalent to print for the blind.”

This is a lesson Katherine Seaton, 11, is definitely learning as she spends time at the center this summer.

“I think it’s fun, except I have had a couple of hard days,” she said. “Otherwise, I think it’s just great. It gives you the chance to be independent. It gives you the chance to show your inner self. You leave your outside self and show everybody the inside view. I’m not talking like getting all awkward, just to the point where you’re independent and you feel comfortable enough to ask questions.”

OBITUARIES

remaining meetings Remaining meetings on the Chatfield Watershed Plan • Aug. 7 at Roxborough State Park, 1:30 to 4 p.m.

• Oct. 22 at the Kassler Treatment Plant in Waterton Canyon, 1:30 to 4 p.m.

tally, as she was speaking, the Lime Gulch fire raged just a few miles from Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, where the meeting was held.

Vlier explains that most pollutants are from things like deteriorating septic systems, streambank and shoreline erosion, runoff from wildfire burn areas, and livestock-management practices along environmentally sensitive stream corridors.

Larry Vickerman, director of the botanic gardens, said his particular focus is on restoration of Deer Creek, which runs through the property.

“If you really look at Deer Creek, especially through Chatfield, it’s severely degraded,” he said. He has plans for a native seed garden, to preserve plant and tree species indigenous to the region. Non-native species are taking hold and overrunning the ecosystems, he said.

“Restoration starts with having the plant material,” he said.

Vlier said the authority wants to develop partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits like the botanic gardens to expand public outreach.

“We are very encouraged by the public interest and look forward to putting watershed objectives into action plans,” she said.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for people you work with?

Personal bonds - I’m the person they entrust with delicate information and desires. Real Estate can be simultaneously stressful and exciting.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

Nothing unusual so I’ll share my most recent favorite. While showing a house in Parker, three bucks traveling together came within a few feet of the home. We all stood in awe, quietly watching.

‘What we’re trying to do is help minimize the impact of the disease, trying to make them feel better for a longer period of time until we find that next magic bullet.’

By Jane reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com

Douglas County School Board Vice President Dan Gerken resigned the week of Jan. 7, and already has stepped down from his seat. He cited growing family and work obligations.

Board President John Carson said the group will begin the process of finding his replacement during the Jan. 15 board meeting.

Gerken was elected to the board in 2009, and his term was set to expire in November. He did not return calls for comment, Gerken but Carson said there is no mystery surrounding his resignation from the education reform-focused board.

“We depend on people being willing to take a lot of time out of their lives and work and families to do this,” he said, noting board members invest at least 20 hours a month to the unpaid post. “Dan has served selflessly in that capacity for over three years now. I greatly appreciate what he’s done for our school district.”

Carson said Gerken first approached him about resigning shortly after the new year.

“I tried to talk him out of (resigning), but he made his decision,” he said.

Though the board has often been criticized for its fast-paced reform efforts, Carson said he doesn’t believe that was a factor in Gerken’s resignation.

“If you run for office, you have to be prepared for that,” he said. “Speaking for myself, the reason I got involved in public education was to make some changes in public education that I think have been needed for a long time. I know Dan felt that way as well.”

In seven years on the board, Carson said this is the fourth vacancy filled by appointment.

“It’s not an infrequent occurrence,” he said.

The board has 60 days to fill the empty seat. Any candidate must live in Gerken’s district — District D — which extends from Castle Pines to the southeast corner of the county.

Potential school board candidates must be at least 18 years of age, a 12-month resident and registered voter of the district, and have no direct or indirect interest in district contracts. All current school board members are registered Republicans, but the office is officially nonpartisan.

“We’re just looking for people that are interested in improving public education, continuing to make our school district the best, and keep making it stronger,” Carson said.

Gerken, a father of two, lives in Castle Pines with his wife, Gina. He is chairman and co-founder of Gerken Taxman Inter-

Historic home razed Landmark demolished; plans call for 42 houses

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The omnipresent suburban battle is being waged in the tiny town of Columbine Valley, and development company Taylor Morrison has prevailed in the first round.

In April, the town’s board of trustees approved the company’s plan to demolish the former Willowcroft Manor & Farm, 3600 W. Bowles Ave., to make way for 41 single-story patio homes and one large estate home.

Soon after, the company did just that, ending an argument about the home’s preservation.

Many tried to save the town’s only real historic property, originally the home of settler Joseph Bowles, but city leaders say the town needs the revenue that would come from development.

“The town of Columbine Valley has no mechanism or law that would allow us to require the owner to preserve the house,” said Mayor Gale Christy.

But the war’s not over yet. Neighbors are launching a surprise attack, with the town’s master plan as their rallying cry. It technically limits maximum density to 2.4 units per acre, less than the 2.95 that Taylor Morrison proposes. So Brian Macaulay is leading an effort to force the matter to a vote of the public.

“The decision the trustees made is not in line with the master plan of the town of Columbine Valley,” he said. “The master plan clearly describes a standard that all new developments must create and maintain the open feel of Columbine Valley, and must beautify and enhance it. The residents have said that time and time again, in both written and verbal public testimony, and they are upset about the trustees’ decision on density. We’re a coalition of people from multiple homeowners associations that are very much against this project and working together in a coordinated fashion to preserve the open feel, as much as possible, in the town of Columbine Valley.”

He needs just 57 people — 5 percent of the town’s registered voters — to sign the petition to force the trustees to reconsider their vote. If they refuse, there will be a special general election two to six months later.

He thinks the referendum will be successful and predicts people will agree there’s no value in a high-density project at the doorstep of Columbine Valley. Efforts to reach the developer were unsuccessful, but city leaders aren’t so sure.

“Dr. Macaulay has a constitutional right to participate in the referendum process, and if he is moving forward with a petition he has the right to do so,” said Christy.

“I have no idea if the trustees will change their votes on Willowcroft if a petition is successful, nor do I have any idea whether the question, whatever it is, will go to a vote of our electorate. I really do not want to speculate on this matter.”

Mary Wolf, whose husband grew up in the house, says she’s cried enough tears and suffered enough sleepless nights over the situation, and she isn’t inclined to knock on

doors to gather signatures.

“I understand where the developer is coming from,” she said. “What I don’t understand is Columbine Valley. The house was the only historic property they have.

And going against the master plan’s density is not going to enhance the community. But I’ve been fighting this battle for a long time.

I’m tired.”

Wolf visited the property every day for nearly 35 years with her late husband, Bruce. He grew up there after it was purchased in 1945 by his mother, Cynthia, who lived there until shortly before her death in 2005. The Wolfs, prominent local real-estate agents, had envisioned retiring there.

Bruce Wolf was the executor of his mother’s estate until his death in 2008, at which time his half brother, David Owen, took over. Owen had no interest in keeping the property and, in 2009, sold it at auction “in five minutes for $1,430,000,” according to Rocky Mountain Estate Brokers Realty’s website. The minimum bid was $860,000.

The main house was built in 1884 and designed by Robert Roeschlaub, also known for the Central City Opera House.

There were also two barns, a bunkhouse and a smokehouse on the property. There were hopes that the developer could be convinced to convert the house to a community center or something similar.

“It’s a solid building,” said Rachel Parris of Colorado Preservation Inc. “It could easily be rehabbed into something really special for the community.”

Parris literally sobbed as she pleaded with the Columbine Valley Board of Trustees in April to save the home.

“I can think of no better way to welcome people into your community than having this manor still standing to show people what was here before this happened,” she said through tears.

Historic Littleton Inc. worked to get the property listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Places in 1993. Then Colorado Preservation Inc. put it on its list of most endangered places in 2010, right alongside the state Capitol dome.

“Willowcroft is surrounded on two sides by a neighborhood of multimillion-dollar homes, which results in significant development pressure,” reads the CPI website.

“While still livable, the main house is suffering from deferred maintenance, as are the barns and other outbuildings. Colorado Preservation Inc. has started a discussion with the owner, encouraging preservation of both the land and the buildings as an urban farmstead.”

Macaulay thinks the developer should slow down a little.

“He should stop now,” he said. “Once he realizes there will be resistance, every dollar he puts in could be a dollar wasted. …

People need to ask themselves whether this high-density project is something that will enhance the open feel of the town of Columbine Valley and beautify it. If the answer is no, then people should make their voices heard. I want to send a very clear message to the town trustees that they need to represent the interests of the residents of Columbine Valley, and not those of the developer.

It really seems like they’re just doing what they want to do.”

The measures passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996 “to y forend welfare as we know it” were heralded and,as a ticket to economic self-sufficiency. pur-The poor would be encouraged to enter the whoworkforce and eventually leave all welfare th inassistance behind. state But for most of the tens of thousands of working poor families in Colorado, the vimoth-sion of self-sufficiency is illusive. hich One of the most significant components tookof the work support programs — child-care g theassistance — doesn’t reach about threectionfourths of the state’s working poor and dinggenerally fails the other fourth’s attempt alty’sto escape poverty, according to an I-News 00. analysis of state data, census figures and andColorado-specific research reports, as well alsoas interviews with benefit recipients, policy ouse.experts and government officials. ouse The I-News inquiry found: here Working families can fall prey to the d be“cliff effect,” in which even a modest rise in com-family income can lead to termination of a government benefit, including subsidized arrischild care, worth thousands of dollars a eas-year.

Colorado is the only state that allows adedcounties to set income levels for eligibility rust-for child-care assistance, or CCAP, the biggest work support program. The state’s sysometem has created broad inequities in what avingfamilies can earn before losing child care. eople Most experts say higher education is ” sheessential to rising out of poverty.

Achiever faces ‘cliff effect’ Magna cum laude grad in ‘really scary’ situation

By Jim Trotter I-News

Rachel Contizano, a Denver native, moved to New York and finished community college there with highest distinction.

She was employed by an apparel manufacturer, living independently in New York City, just as she wanted.

Then she went on maternity leave before Christmas in 2009 and was soon notified that her job had been eliminated.

She applied for unemployment benefits and received them for the full 99 weeks allowed, her job search fruitless month after month. “I got up the courage that I needed to move back home,” she said of those dark days. “It was just getting too difficult to survive.”

Surviving still wasn’t a picnic back in Colorado, although her family helped. As she began to apply for work support benefits for herself and her son, Kingston, to try to get back on her feet, she encountered what she described as a very difficult proCliff continues on Page 18

Woman puts face on struggle to succeed Self-sufficiency is goal for student mother

By Jim Trotter I-News

Jennine Jeffries is a woman with an engaging smile, a firm handshake and an articulate yet unvarnished way of telling her own story: broken and abusive childhood home, a frequent runaway and juvenile delinquent, alcohol and drug addictions as she became a bartender, a stint in jail.

But her story doesn’t stop there.

With determination and hard work, with help from those who believe in her, with an unfading desire to be something more for her own four children, she has pulled her life back on course. She’s carrying a shiny 3.97 grade point average at Metropolitan State University of Denver, with graduation set for next spring.

Her 19-year-old son has made that possible in part by caring at home for her

payments gradually as family incomes rise toward self-sufficiency.

Yet, when Colorado lawmakers twice tried to require counties to phase out childcare benefits, the proposals were watered down after lobbying by Colorado counties to make them voluntary.

There are more than 63,000 working families in Colorado earning 130 percent of poverty-level income or less, about $25,000 per year, according to the I-News analysis.

In 2012, according to state figures, CCAP served about 31,000 of the almost 137,000 children in those families — “a pittance,” in the words of one state senator.

“The reason the cliff effect matters, and the reason it matters to all of us in society,

is that we want to provide the opportunity for these families to get into the workforce, to stay working, to reach self-sufficiency, to get ahead,” said Rich Jones, director of research at Bell Policy Center in Denver, a self-described progressive think tank.

“That’s the whole design. By keeping the cliff effect, by keeping the barriers in place, we’re actually providing a disincentive to continue working.”

For many poor working families who receive work supports, the cliff effect isn’t an issue. They don’t earn enough to trip the loss of benefits. The real threat of the cliff effect is to those close to self-sufficiency.

“A fraction of these folks can actually make it work,” said Susan Roll, a California professor who did her doctoral thesis at the University of Denver on the cliff effect. “It is very difficult to be on these programs and it is certainly next to impossible to escape the programs.”

The work support benefits can include

those who are like me, women in transition, women who feel that maybe they’re not worthy, or that they have no hope,” said Jeffries, 39. “I want to make a difference in people’s lives.”

As she prepares for that day to arrive, making the long bus ride each day into Denver from her Section 8 apartment in Englewood, working low-wage jobs, volunteering, keeping up with her family life and her studies, she worries about how she will do it.

Can she possibly make, as a new college graduate, the $40,000 or more it will take for her family to minimally survive the loss of the work support benefits she receives — housing assistance, food stamps and Medicaid?

“I’m terrified that once I graduate I won’t be self-sufficient,” she said, but there’s no turning back now. “What do I next? I want to be the hell off assistance.”

child-care assistance, food stamps, housing assistance, assistance with energy bills and Medicaid, among others.

The steepest cliff in the state is posed by the child-care assistance program, experts say.

Even a raise of $1 hour per hour, which would translate into roughly $2,000 a year for a full-time employee, could trigger the termination of the benefit worth $6,000 or $8,000 per year or more to the family, and might even impact the parent’s ability to work.

“I would say the cliff effect is the No. 1 reason preventing women and their families from achieving self-sufficiency,” said Lorena Garcia, executive director of Denver-based COLOR, which works with young women trying to escape poverty.

Academic researchers and county social workers all said they have seen families forgo raises or promotions so they didn’t lose child-care benefits.

“It’s frustrating to hear their stories,” said Tamara Schmidt, supervisor of the child-care assistance program in Larimer County. “To have them calling in tears because they’re over income by 10 cents (an hour). I mean, there’s really not a whole lot of wiggle room.”

Self-sufficiency is pegged by most studies at about 225 percent of the federal poverty guideline, or about $44,000 annually for a family of three.

That number comes particularly into play in Colorado’s county system for setting income limits for child-care assistance. The limit for a family of three ranges from $25,000, or 130 percent of poverty, to $44,000, 225 percent of poverty. And these vast disparities exist next door to each other.

For example, in southeastern Colorado, Prowers County cuts off child care at $25,000 for a three-person family, while adjacent Bent and Kiowa counties allow up to $44,000. A 2008 state audit found that more than 1,000 families denied child-care assistance because their incomes were too high would have qualified in a neighboring county.

Higher education is another touchstone in the debate over Colorado’s county system.

“Post-secondary education, especially

for single-parent households, is critical as far as financial security, social mobility, all of those things,” said state Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins.

That Larimer County doesn’t allow higher education as an eligible activity ultimately comes down to a matter of resources, officials said.

“We had to make the choice to serve the poorest of the poor,” said Laura Sartor of Larimer County Human Services. “It was very difficult. It was a very hard choice to make. We did a lot of research and a lot of statistics in determining who we could and couldn’t serve. And unfortunately the student population was one of the populations that were an option, so we had to eliminate them and not be able to cover child care anymore.”

Many counties change eligibility levels as budgets and caseloads rise and fall. El Paso County Commissioner Sallie Clark, a Republican, said it’s critical that these decisions be made at the close-to-the-ground county level. El Paso recently raised its level to 150 percent of poverty, but allows recipients, once approved, to stay with the program up to 165 percent.

Colorado Counties Inc., the lobbying organization for the state’s 64 counties, has twice lobbied against legislation requiring the counties to phase out child-care assistance to counter the cliff effect. Each time, the counties lobbied successfully to make the proposals voluntary. The 2012 bill called for a 10-county pilot project to test phasing out the benefit. So, far no county has volunteered.

Clark said requiring counties to phase out the benefit would be too costly.

But Kefalas, the Fort Collins Democrat, said there would be benefits in embracing reform.

“In my opinion, if we make these investments up front, we’re going to save an awful lot of money for the taxpayer in terms of public assistance programs, in terms of dealing with the criminal justice system,and the research bears that out,” he said.

“I did everything I was supposed to do.

I followed all the rules,” she said. “If I did what I was responsible for, then they were responsible to help me. And that wasn’t the case.”

She determined that she needed to learn more about advocating for herself.

Her eventual mastery of work support benefit rules led to her appointment to the Denver Welfare Reform Board. She was named a “Woman to Watch” by the League of Women Voters. She just graduated magna cum laude from the Colorado Women’s Col-

lege at the University of Denver with a degree in business administration.

Now 32, she wants a career in public policy to help others. She dreams of running for public office.

But first there is a matter of finding a job. She has calculated she needs to earn about $43,000 to make up for the loss of food stamps, child care assistance for her son, now 4, Medicaid and rental subsidies she receives. Even for all of her accomplishments, avoiding the cliff effect is daunting.

“It’s very hard to find a job in 30 days, something that is going to keep my head above water,” she said. “So that is something I’m really struggling with right now and that is really scary.”

Coral gets collaborative Crochet project on display in ‘Spun’ exhibit at DAM

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Spun,” the textile-focused menu of exhibits at the Denver Art Museum, includes the Institute For Figuring’s charming, mostly colorful, Crochet Coral Reef Project.

The little sculptural clusters are displayed on pedestals in both the Hamilton and the North buildings, leading the way from one gallery to the next.

Sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim, who grew up in Australia, conscious of the coral reefs along the coast and concerned about their fragility, started the IFF in 2005.

The organization is now located in Los Angeles.

The IFF has about 40 contributors worldwide and has helped to raise concern about these endangered organisms.

The Wertheims have crocheted about half of the pieces themselves and curated the collection as it grew.

See how many cases you can locate throughout the museum. Look for the tiny critters that inhabit the reefs.

The inspiration came from “hyperbolic crochet,” discovered in 1997 by Cornell

Cherry Hills Country Club General Manager Kevin Hood, who saved a man’s life earlier this year, recently received the Metropolitan Golf Writers Association’s Mary Bea Porter Award.

The honor was bestowed at the MGWA’s 62nd national awards dinner June 18 in Tarrytown, N.Y. Hood was honored for saving the life of Cherry Hills member John Moore. Responding to a “code blue” call on Jan. 29, Hood administered CPR to the 87-year-old Moore, who had fallen and hit his head, causing his tongue to block his airway.

Hood performed chest compressions and other life-saving measures. After a 10-day hospital stay, Moore recovered and returned to Cherry Hills to enjoy his club membership.

Colorado Avid Golfer magazine first reported the news.

The award is named for Mary Bea Porter, a former LPGA Tour pro who left the course in the middle of a qualifying round of the 1988 Samaritan Turquoise Classic in Phoenix to save a drowning 3-year-old boy at a home adjacent to a fairway.

Hood, 52, is in his eighth year at Cherry Hills. He was a starting linebacker at the University of Colorado and former pro football player with the Denver Gold of the USFL.

“Satellite Coral Reef” is a work in progress by local artists. Courtesy photo by Denver Art Museum University mathematician Daina Taimina, according to the IFF website. The Wertheim sisters adopted Taimina’s techniques and elaborated on them “to develop a whole taxonomy of reef-life forms.” Loopy “kelps,” fringed “anemones,” crenelated “sea slugs” and curlicued “corals” have all been modeled with these methods.”

Jenna Madison of the DAM Education Department said this is the largest collaborative art project in the world. It has been exhibited in many venues.

“It came on our radar screen and we thought, wouldn’t it be great to have it here for SPUN,” Madison said. “So emails and calls went back and forth, as arrangements fell into place. Including this very contemporary work seems especially appropriate, especially since local crafters are now involved.”

She said that Christine Wertheim has a fine arts background and Margaret is a scientist.

A standard ingredient in the crocheted Coral Reef exhibits is a Satellite Coral Reef by local artists, and Denver’s version is underway in a special space where local craftsmen appear on Saturdays and Sundays to add to the project. It will grow through the summer.

Christine Wertheim came to Denver to train the educational department and other area artists so they could, in turn, help the

“It’s growing beautifully,” Madison said.

People also work at home and bring in pieces. “It’s open to anyone.”

It will be arranged and rearranged as more pieces come in. When the show closes in late September, the Satellite Coral Reef will be harvested and pieces given to museum visitors.

Note especially the bleached coral in the lobby of the Hamilton Building, a collective work by many IFF contributors, crocheted in white and off-white yarns to illustrate what happens to coral under environmental stress.

The color in coral comes from tiny microorganisms, zooanthellae, that live within the polyps. When environmental toxins or rising water temperatures stress corals, the polyps expel the zooanthellae, which they need for long-term survival.

In August, the local Ladies Handiwork Society will be creating a garden in the North Building complete with critters and surprise moments.

Cabela’s, the giant outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear, will celebrate the official grand opening of its two Denverarea locations in Thornton and Lone Tree on Aug. 15.

Ribbon-cutting ceremonies hosted by Cabela’s executives and special guests will begin at 10:45 a.m. at each location, and doors will open for business at 11 a.m.

Opening day will begin a weekend-long celebration featuring outdoor celebrities, events for the entire family, giveaways and more.

The 110,000-square-foot Lone Tree store will be located in Douglas County in the new RidgeGate Commons development along Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway.

The 90,000-square-foot Thornton store will be located in a new retail development along I-25 at 144th Ave. Cabela’s operates 44 stores across North America with plans to open an additional 16 over the next two years. More information at www.cabelas.com.

Salon takes on role as gallery Dog Days of Summer art show held at Cuttn’ it Loose

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Paintings of dogs and other subjects hang on the walls of Cuttn’ it Loose Salon for a newly opened show about the hot summer days and the things we do with them.

“We have a lot of wall space, and artist Kyle Banister suggested we put up some art, so we held our first art show a couple months ago. People seemed to like it, so now our plans are to have a new show every two months,” said Rosemarie Cabral, co-owner of the salon in CityCenter Englewood. “This show is about Dog Days of Summer and the artworks will be up for a while. Then we plan to open the next show on Sept. 19 that will be called ‘Breasts of Colorado,’ artist-decorated castings of the chests of volunteers that are part of a fundraiser to combat breast cancer.”

There isn’t much to see looking through the salon’s windows, but going through the door, there is art just about everywhere.

There is a large painting near the door, and other artworks, some framed and some unframed, cover most vacant space on the walls throughout the salon.

The displays are the works of 13 local artists: Gabriel Molton, Vinton Ervin, Neil Scherrer, Gail Firmin, Kelli Jimerson, Michael Rieger, Rober Platz, Eric Matelski, Patrick Gerace, Lea Wells, Kyle Banister, Norma Purer and Rosemarie Cabral.

There are paintings of actors like Sam Elliott in cowboy attire and, further down the same wall, there are a number of paintings of several different dogs. One of the largest works is Eric Matelski’s portrait of a German shepherd-chow mix, Cole.

“I had Cole for 12 years and the dog was my muse from the time he was a puppy. I am an artist so it is only natural that I should paint pictures of him,” the artist said. “This large portrait was from Cole having fun on Cannon Beach in California.”

Matelski said he painted portraits of Cole throughout the dog’s life and, until now, the works have been private and he has never put them in a show.

“I had to put Cole down in September of

Photos by Tom Munds last year and I miss him,” the artist said. “I would like to get another dog, so I decided to display Cole’s painting in this show. If, by chance, I am able to pass along one of these paintings, I plan to put the money toward another dog. It will be like Cole and I go shopping together.”

The artist said, besides his dog, his current favorite thing to paint is concerts and bands.

“I like paintings related to music, particularly jazz,” he said. “I got started painting portraits of musicians and then expanded to doing more interpretive paintings at concerts.”

He said the places he goes features all types of jazz, like Dazzle Restaurant at Ninth and Lincoln, where there are artists doing everything from classical jazz to Dixieland, so he has a wide variety of subjects for his paintings.

‘I like paintings related to music, particularly jazz.’

Englewood second in league tourney Under-16 girls lose to TJ team in Babe Ruth softball

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood’s bid to win the Babe Ruth Under-16 Softball League Tournament title fell short June 25 with an 8-1 loss to Thomas Jefferson.

“We would like to have won the league tournament, but it still was a great season,” Englewood coach Shawn Largent said after the tournament title game at the TJ field.

“We played well all season and really did well. I feel good about our performance this season, and just about all these girls will be back with us next summer, so we should be strong again.”

Englewood built an early one-run lead, but TJ then tied the score. Well-placed hits and aggressive base running paid off for the Eclipse, a team of TJ players, as they took the lead 5-1 for good in the third inning.

Earlier, Englewood had put together an eight-game winning streak to earn a berth in the league tournament finals for the second year in a row.

It was also a repeat contest against the TJ team.

The Englewood Youth Sports Association team closed out the regular season with twin wins to post a 9-3 record. They were seeded No. 3 in the eight-team league tournament, and defeated the Parker Hawks 8-2 to get to the June 24 semifinals against Sheridan.

In the semifinals, Englewood used aggressive base running and timely hits to score eight runs while blanking the Rams.

Englewood’s Lauren Berg (0) moves to catch a loose softball as the Parker runner scores a run. The teams met June 23 in the first round of the league softball playoffs. The Pirates won 8-2. Photos by Tom Munds two frames. The pitchers combined to strike out seven Sheridan batters, and three of the strikeouts helped kill would-be Sheridan rallies as they came after the Rams twice loaded the bases with one out but weren’t able to score.

“I expected we’d have a pretty good team because we have been a good team for the last three years and we have a number of good players back this season,” the coach said. “The biggest improvement this year is the girls are swinging the bat well. We always played good defense but, in the past, didn’t get timely hits, so we had trouble scoring runs. That has changed, as I think we are scoring an average of about 10 runs a game.”

Largent said his two pitchers, Hall and Schott, have thrown well all season.

Hall is a veteran, as she pitched for the high school team last year.

“I am a better pitcher than I was last fall,” she said. “I am throwing harder, but I think the biggest improvement is my control and being able to put the ball where I want it in the strike zone.”

Schott will be a Pirates ninth-grader in the fall. She said she took up pitching because it looked like fun. She throws a fastball and changeup.

“I also throw a curve, but I don’t really have good control of that pitch all the time,” she said. “I am working with a pitching coach to improve my delivery and to

better control all my pitches, particularly my curve ball.”

Along with Hall, many of the players were members of the Englewood High School team last fall, like Maddie Smith, Miranda Holman and Madison “Dolly” Ostrowski.

“I love softball, so playing this summer is so much fun,” Ostrowski said. “I usually play first base, and that is my favorite position. During the off season, I have worked on playing better defense. I played for another team and the coaches helped me improve my ability to scoop up balls in the dirt, to handle ground balls hit to me and keeping a foot on the bag when I field a throw from a teammate.”

She added that she is hitting the ball better, as her coaches have helped her be more patient at the plate and to turn on the ball so she can drive the ball hard.

Pirates play in Broncos 7-on-7 event Englewood goes 1-2 in 64-team football tourney

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood High School athletes played well, but their 1-2 pool play record ended their bid to advance to the finals of the 64team Denver Bronco-sponsored 7-on-7 high school football tournament The 7-on-7 is an all passing, touch football competition involving backs and receivers and linebackers and defensive backs on the other side of the ball. No one rushes the quarterback but he must get the pass away in five seconds or less or the play is a sack.

Bronco tournament organizers divided the 64-team field into 16 pools of four teams each for round-robin play at Denver Public School’s All City Stadium.

The winners of the 16 pools advance to the single-elimination tournament June 22 at the Bronco’s Dove Valley facility. The tournament champion receives an all-expense trip to the nationals in Cleveland.

The Pirates played all three-pool opponents, Kennedy, Legacy and Sheridan on June 19.

Englewood lost the opener to Kennedy 17-14 on a disputed call on whether the last play of the game was a touchdown pass for Kennedy or a Pirate interception.

The call went in Kennedy’s favor to give them the win.

In the next game, Legacy dominated play, topping Englewood 28-7.

The Pirates rebounded and defeated Sheridan, 28-3.

Andy Cornell, Englewood’s offensive coordinator, said playing in the tournament is a plus for both the offense and the defense.

“It is good to develop our timing and the kids get used to the position they will play in the fall,” Cornell said after the Kennedy game. “It also is a plus to play against

Englewood defender Chris Gutierrez, right, has an apparent interception in the June 19 game against Kennedy. The receiver wrestled for the ball and the official ruled it was a touchdown in the Broncos 7-on-7 tournament.

Andy Cornell, Englewood offensive coordinator, explains the play he wants the Pirates to run against Kennedy. The Pirates finished 1-2 in the Broncos 7-on-7 tournament.

Photos by Tom Munds teams we won’t see in the regular season.

A tournament like this gives our players the opportunity to work against offensive schemes and defensive alignments they may not have seen before. It is good experience for all our kids.

He said the team had a solid first half against Kennedy.

“In the second half, we had a couple dropped passes and that seemed to get us out of our game plan and we had trouble moving the ball,” Cornell said. “Defensively, we played well enough to win against Kennedy. But that call on the last pass play of the game went in their favor and they got the win.”

During the break between games, Gerardo Gutierrez, a Pirate linebacker, said he feels the 7-on-7 really helps him to learn how to react to the different zone system the team uses.

Englewood quarterback Isiah Mestas looks for an open receiver in the June 19 game against Kennedy during the Broncos 7-on-7 tournament. The Pirates lost to Kennedy on a controversial call on the last play of the game.

“I also like the chance to play against teams we don’t see in the regular season,” he said. “It gives us the chance to work against different offensive formations, sets and plays.”

Gutierrez said he liked defense because he likes to hit people.

He said being a catcher in baseball helps him be a better linebacker “It helps me to be quick and move my feet,” Gutierrez said. “Being a catcher in baseball also helps me to be stronger. I also think it helps me sharpen my reactions and anticipating where a guy is going to move.”
