Holiday party nice for needy Drive has 28-year history By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com People started lining up about 4:30 P.M. for the annual holiday party put on by J.J. & Associates, scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Dec. 14. It was 28 years ago when Englewood resident John Martinez decided to help needy people and founded the nonprofit organization he named J.J. & Associates. Each year, dozens of volunteers join Martinez to help others by gathering and distributing school supplies as well as staging events on holidays, including Christmas. “We knew we’d have a big crowd and we started letting people in about 5 and asked them to sit down until we started serving dinner,” Martinez said as he made sure the lines were moving Dec. 14. “Everyone cooperated until we got things rolling.” Martina Juardo sat at a table entertaining her five grandchildren, waiting for the volunteers to begin serving food.

“My son and daughter-in-law are over-the-road drivers and I care for their children while they are on the road,” she said with a smile. “This is a wonderful thing for these folks to do and is a big help for our family this year.” She said her son was hurt and couldn’t work for about four months. He is back working now, but the paychecks are dedicated to getting caught up on bills, so there isn’t a lot of money to buy gifts for the children. “I’ll make sure the kids don’t unwrap the gifts so there will be more under the tree when we celebrate Christmas,” Juardo said. “I know the gifts are a great blessing to our family and I’m sure we aren’t by ourselves when I say this is such a wonderful thing for J.J. and the folks to do to help families like ours have a nicer holiday.” Martinez said he had about 20 volunteers helping out at the event. Scott Parrill, manager of the Old Chicago Restaurant at Broadway and Mineral, was one of the volunteers and he was in the kitchen preparing the meal for the guests. “This is the fifth year we have helped J.J. put on this event, as Old Chicago

I hope the line moves quickly because I’m getting hungry.” Santa greeted each child, gave each of them a candy cane and listened to each child’s Christmas wish list. The child could then select a book from under the Christmas tree on the way to the gift table to receive a wrapped, age-appropriate gift. Jen Fisher was one of the volunteers handing out gifts. “Handing out the gifts is really rewarding because of the smiles on the children’s faces as they get the presents,” the Sheridan High School graduate said. “It is fun to do this and it also has a deeper meaning, because I feel it helps remind me about the true meaning of Christmas and gets me in the holiday spirit.”

The Englewood City Council ignored the objections of Xcel Energy representatives and passed a bill taking possession of the utility poles on city property. The council took the action at the Dec. 3 meeting in reaction to Xcel Energy’s policy prohibiting placing banners, flags or decorations on its utility poles and requiring any items on the poles to be taken down by Dec. 31. Tom Henley, Xcel area manager for community and government affairs, came to the lectern during the public comment period. He told the city council that the proposed ordinance created a safety issue and was, in his opinion, a public taking of private property. He said the safety issue is the stress of wind loading caused by items attached to the utility poles. He said the company has had several utility poles with items attached fail, creating a safety hazard. “Xcel Energy is working with several cities on ways to allow items to be attached to the company’s utility poles when they meet stringent safety restrictions,” Henley told the council. “I urge the council not to pass this ordinance tonight.” Councilmember Rick Gillit said he felt Xcel Energy was aware of banners being attached to utility poles, including the ones attached on poles along South Broadway by the business improvement district. He said he felt it was heavy-handed for Xcel to now put a ban in place prohibiting attaching any items to their utility poles. Dan Brotzman, Englewood city attorney, said the proposed ordinance transfers the ownership of the poles and responsibility regarding putting banners, flags and decorations on utility poles from Xcel Energy to the city manager. The city attorney noted that plans called for the city manager to have an engineering report prepared regarding possible wind loading of items proposed for placement on utility poles, and then to forward the report to Xcel. He said he was concerned about how long it would take for the company to respond to the engineering report. “Xcel issued the requirement to remove all items from utility poles in July,” said Mayor Randy Penn, who wondered about the lack of progress. Henley was joined at the podium by Dudley Spiller, an attorney for Xcel Energy. “It is my task to tell you that the Englewood ordinance conflicts with the information in the Public Utilities Commission constitution and rules which includes a ban on banners, signs, flags and other items being attached to utility poles,” Spiller told the council. “Since the PUC has sole jurisdiction over utilities, we feel your proposal may not be legal.” He said Xcel feels it is being backed into a corner and may fight Englewood’s ordinance in court. He said the company also views the proposal as an unlawful taking of private property. Spiller said he can see the relationship between Xcel Energy and municipalities becoming more contentious over this issue, and it appears battle lines are already being drawn. After the discussion, the city council unanimously passed the ordinance on second and final reading. Englewood is not alone it its objections to the Xcel proposal. The Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors discussed the issue and indicated they were not pleased with the Xcel decision. They also said they will investigate if there is a way to purchase the poles for a nominal fee.

Face of Englewood undergoing changes Half-dozen development projects under way or preparing to start By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The past few years the economic climate put a damper on development in Englewood, but judging from work in progress and projects preparing to start, all that is changing. “I feel these are the most developments in progress and set to start our city has seen since about 2000, when Cinderella City was demolished and a $150 million public-private partnership built CityCenter Englewood,” said Darren Hollingsworth, economic development manager. “We have had almost $50 million in build-

ing permits for new construction issued this year. New buildings are going up and a number of projects are scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2013, so there will be a lot of changes in the city in the next year or so.” He said most developers had put projects on hold when the downturn in the economy hit. As evidence that things appear to be picking up, he cited a recent report that stated the building permit activity from January to October grew from $22 million in 2011 to more than $44 million over the same period this year. With the projects planned to start or continue, estimates are that building permit activities in 2013 could reach $265 million. A retail project in the home stretch of development is at Kent Place, the development at South University Boulevard and East

Hampen Avenue. A little more than half the roughly 60,000 square feet of retail space in the project is occupied by Fresh Fare by King Soopers, the new concept store that opened Dec. 12. The Patxi Pizza Restaurant and Krisler’s Pet Food stores are open, with a wine shop, an ice cream store and a Chase Bank branch scheduled to open in the next couple months. The school district has two major project under way, thanks to the resident-approved $40 million bond issue. Buildings have been demolished and work is under way on the foundation for the first of the buildings that will make up the new seventh- to 12th-grade campus at the current Englewood High School site. The auditorium and field house are the only buildings included in the project scheduled to be completed in

2014. Also, there is an $8 million project to remodel Englewood Middle School so Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School can move into that location. Mayor Randy Penn said he is pleased that two developers have selected the city for residential projects. “A company is going to demolish Flood Middle School for a twobuilding, 310-apartment project,” he said. “Another company is planning a 242-apartment complex at Oxford and Navajo in place of the Martin Plastics buildings. Both are scheduled to start early next year.” Another residential development in the area of Martin Plastics is still on the drawing board. The mayor said these projects, along with the residential development at Kent Place, could bring 2,000 to 4,000 new people to Englewood in

the next couple years. “We are pleased to see the residential projects getting started,” Penn said. “As a city council, we are also constantly working with Englewood officials to attract more retail development throughout the city.” Hollingsworth said another project about to get under way is Craig Hospital’s $90 million expansion and, across town, King Soopers had demolished its old store at South Federal Boulevard and West Belleview Avenue and is building a new, much larger store on the same site. “We have had some businesses move but stay in Englewood, and we have some prospective development at least being discussed,” he said. “So, we expect a lot of construction activities in the city over the next few years.”

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Keep Englewood Beautiful members presented awards to 14 holiday lighting contest winners as part of the Dec. 17 Englewood City Council meeting.

Englewood School District is including information provided by the Colorado School Safety Resource Center in a package offering tips and strategies for talking to children about tragedies. “We have sent a letter to all parents letting them know we are reviewing our school safety procedures and offering our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the school shooting in Connecticut,” said Brian Ewert, school superintendent. “Right now, we are working on preparing a package contain our information as well as the web sources of information about school safety and talking to children about tragedies. We are hoping to complete the package as quickly as possible.” He said the package will be sent to parents by e-mail as well as having students take a printed copy home. The district also will post the information on the school website. Ewert said all principals have been asked to review their school safety procedures with their faculty. “We have procedures in place in all our schools and practice them frequently,” the superintendent said. He added that Englewood faces unique challenges because all the district school buildings were constructed in the late 1940s and in the 1950s. “The modern safety measures expected in schools wasn’t an issue when our schools were built,” Ewert said. “We have completed a number of projects to improve building safety at some of the schools and others are being considered for later this year. Everything comes with a price tag, but ensuring the safety of our student is of the highest priority.”

Disturbance investigation leads to arrest

Police went to the 4300 block of South Acoma Street about 7:15 p.m. Dec. 14 to investigate a report of two men having a heated argument. Officers found one of the men a block away and he told them he was arguing with a 40-year-old who

lived in the block where the report occurred. Police ran a check and found the 40-year-old had an active warrant for his arrest. Officers went to the house, arrested and searched the subject. During the search, they found he had a packet that contained .66 grams of methamphetamine in his sock and a hypodermic syringe in his pocket. He was interviewed by the Arapahoe County Impact Team and then taken to the Arapahoe County jail on the warrant. He could face additional charges of possession of a Schedule 2 controlled substance.

Wreaths decorate graves of veterans By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Several hundred people braved chilly weather to attend the Wreaths Across America ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. Wreaths Across America began in 1992 when the owner of Worcester Wreath Co. in Maine discovered the company had a surplus of holiday wreaths. The owner arranged to have the wreaths taken and placed on graves at Arlington National Cemetery to remember the veterans there, honor them and to teach younger generations about the value of their freedoms. The program remained largely unchanged until 2005, when it received national attention. The demand for wreaths grew beyond what the company could donate, so a program was established for sponsoring wreaths at a cost of $15 per wreath. Those taking part in the Fort Logan ceremonies on Dec. 15 included military personnel, veterans’ groups like the Scottish American Veterans, and civilians including members of the Patriot Guard. There were about an equal number of young men and women of the Civil Air Patrol, the Young Marines, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts taking part in the event. In addition, there were numerous individuals and groups who had volunteered to place the 1,100 wreaths on the graves of veterans.

John Paul Justius, 7, places an evergreen wreath at the grave of a veteran in the Wreaths Across America ceremony Dec. 15 at Fort Logan National Cemetery. Photo by Tom Munds Ralph Nations, who was master of ceremonies, said the Fort Logan event has been part of the national program for several years. The ceremonies began with a color guard presenting the flags and representatives of each service placing a wreath. Nations then introduced the families and Gold Star mothers attending the service, and read a list of the men who died in combat fighting terrorism.

That was followed by speeches, a 21-gun salute, bugles playing “Taps” and bagpipers playing “Amazing Grace.” Volunteers then stepped up to place the 1,100 wreaths, which could only be placed on a small percentage of the 80,000 graves at Fort Logan. Some placing wreaths were families of the veterans, and there were wreaths designated for the graves of veterans who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The undesignated wreaths were taken and placed on veterans’ graves in the area around the ceremony. Eagle Scout Ethan Pfeiffer joined fellow members of Littleton’s Boy Scout Troop 361 who lined the road holding American flags during the ceremony. “My family has a history of military service, so I feel honored to be there today,” the Arapahoe High School senior said. “It meant a lot to be part of these ceremonies. I feel it is a way to volunteer my time to honor the veterans for what they have done for our country.” Cindy Fellows held a wreath close to her as she walked to the grave of a Vietnam veteran nearby. She said she is an Army veteran who served in Iraq and volunteered to place wreaths when she heard about the program. “I like to do anything I can to honor veterans,” the Centennial resident said. “I didn’t even know about the Wreaths Over America program until a friend told me about today’s ceremony. I am so glad I came. It is a special program and I am honored to be part of it.” Young John Paul Justius was also a volunteer and, with the guidance of his dad, placed a wreath on the grave of World War II Army Capt. Lee Lang. “I think this is special,” the Castle Rock 7-year-old said. “My uncle is in the Army and we are doing this to honor soldiers.”

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Joey Chestnut’s on an open fire, and bowl games That’s not a typo in the headline. There is a guy named Joey Chestnut. He is a nearrecord setting Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion. He once ate 68 hot dogs in 12 minutes. By the time Alabama and Notre Dame have taken off their shoulder pads on Jan. 7, it may seem as if we have metaphorically eaten 68 hot dogs in a short period of time too. Thirty-five bowl games were scheduled. That means 70 Division I teams. I now cringe at the words “bowl eligible.” They simply mean that a team managed to win at least 6 out of 12 games. Big wow. When I was a kid there were four bowl games and all of them were played on Jan. 1. They had discreet names like Rose, Cotton, Sugar and Orange. The Gator Bowl came along, and so did the Liberty Bowl and the Sun Bowl. I always felt like they were outsiders. Before you knew it bowl games started to sprout like something in a bad greenhouse. And they all took sponsors and names that sounded like something Monty Python had

made up. There’s now one called Belk Bowl. I am not kidding. My favorite (or least favorite) is called Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl. We all know why there has been this heinous proliferation of bowl games: $. Division I college football is the only college sport that doesn’t have a playoff arrangement. It makes no sense. There is no logical argument against it. They somehow manage to have playoffs in D-II and D-III. And Pop Warner, and Colorado state 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, and six-man. The levels of selfishness and imbecility are felt by all of us, except sponsors, some

parents and girlfriends, and the nutcake alumni at Nowhere State that went 6-6. If a coach and a team go to a bowl game, it becomes an implied achievement, and the coaches can negotiate it into their contracts, even if their records might have included losses to North South Dakota State and South North Dakota State. I used to love college football. Maybe I would have lost a lot of interest over time no matter what. And if it all really bothers me, why not just read a book, or take a walk, instead of investing my time on a lost cause? But if I did either of those I would have one less topic to write about. Would you really want to know what I was reading on Jan. 7? Milton’s “Paradise Lost.” Now that would be a joy to read about. My alma mater played in a minor bowl a few years ago. I wore my sweatshirt and cheered. We won. And then I asked myself, “Who really cared about whether we won or lost or played or whom the sponsor was or what the game-time temperature was or much of anything else?” Maybe bettors.

There’s a line on every game, all 35, no matter what the teams’ records were, and there will always be bettors, because there will always be money to be made. If we can’t have the logic of a playoff system, perhaps we could have bowls that were more fascinating. A Zen Bowl might be fun. The Metaphysical Bowl. A Dysfunctionally Officiated Bowl, where there might be penalties for illegal team colors, or for getting in a prevent defense during the National Anthem. One thing has improved. When I was a kid we watched the four bowl games on a blonde Philco. If any of the games overlapped, and you wanted to switch, you had to get up, walk across the room, and change the channel. One year my father had the bright idea of buying a second television, which sat next to the blonde Philco. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Hope, encouragement, Corruption in Afghanistan success and Zig Ziglar “The doors of hope swing widest on the hinges of encouragement” — Zig Ziglar Born in 1926 and passed away in November 2012. And somewhere along the way, Zig Ziglar went from selling pots and pans door-todoor, to being considered the world’s ambassador of hope, encouragement, motivation and success. As you read my thoughts this week, please do so under the umbrella of success. Because at the end of the day, Zig Ziglar was about success and helping individuals, small business owners and large corporations succeed. So whether we grew personally, professionally or spiritually because of Zig, that would have been his definition of success. Yes, this is a tribute column to a man who has changed millions of lives for the better. And yes, that is millions with an “M.” For each one of us whose life has been positively impacted by Mr. Ziglar, we certainly care about the other 999,999-plus people who have experienced a positive change in some way because of Zig, but we are intimately familiar with how he was able to influence and change our own personal situation. I attended his funeral and memorial service. It was a sad, happy, motivating and inspiring event. Kind of like what you would absolutely come to expect from Zig Ziglar, even as he left this world and entered eternity. During the services, people in attendance and even those who spoke during the service used one-word descriptors of Zig to try and capture his essence and who he was as a man, a husband, a father, a friend, a coach, a motivator and a believer in God. Words like coach, teacher, motivator, consistent, encourager, leader, salesman, genuine, Christian and mentor were shared and accurate. In his speeches, Mr. Ziglar focused on five key areas of life: Healthy Self Image, Positive Attitude, Winning Relationships, Setting and Achieving Goals, and Hope. Now it didn’t matter what your role was in life or what job you had or who you were related to, his message was meant for every single person on this planet no matter who you were and where you were from. Race, religious belief, family history, work history, past, present, or future didn’t matter to Zig because his purpose, his passion and his intent was to be a difference maker in the lives of each and every one of us. For those of you who read my column

each week, I feel like even though you may have never met Mr. Ziglar, you do know him and have known him ever since I started writing this column. I say that with confidence because everything that I write, even though they come from my personal experience and observations each week, are founded, grounded and based on the impact Zig Ziglar has had on me for the past 26 years. “The doors of hope swing widest on the hinges of encouragement.” I remember the first time I heard Zig say this. He was the master encourager, the ambassador of hope, and the most genuine and consistent man I have ever had the blessing and privilege to know and work for. My hope and my encouragement to you is to keep looking for ways to encourage others, build them up, inspire and motivate them, and help them become the person that you know and that they will soon discover that they are meant to be. “You can have everything in this world that you want, just as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” This is Zig’s most famous quote, and I am here as living proof that he lived this principle every day of his life. He helped me become the man, the husband, the dad, the friend, the employee and the believer in God that I am today, and I will be eternally grateful. For many years I have heard hundreds if not thousands of Zig Ziglar stories from people all over the world. Anyone who ever had a history, or encounter at a seminar, or just read his books or listened to his audio programs all shared what that meant. I would love to hear your Zig Ziglar story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we all look forward with hope it will be a better than good week.

Last year I began pushing for a congressional investigation into allegations of corruption and mismanagement at a U.S.sponsored Afghan National Army hospital, known as the Dawood National Military Hospital, in Kabul. I did this after a story broke in the Wall Street Journal about senior Afghan medical personnel selling U.S. military medical aid on the black market. Afghan soldiers and police were dying at the U.S.-sponsored Dawood Hospital because their families couldn’t come up with bribes. The investigation culminated in two hearings, on July 28 and Sept. 12, 2012, by a subcommittee of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee chaired by Congressman Jason Chaffetz of Utah. The conclusion anyone listening to the testimony can easily reach is that the Afghan Surgeon General, Gen. Ahmed Zia Yaftali, was complicit in the corruption and that U.S. Army Lt. Gen. William Caldwell not only delayed an investigation to shield the administration from any political embarrassment prior to the 2010 midterm elections, but he purposely limited the scope of the investigation to shift the focus away from the obvious issue of corruption. It is unfortunate that, despite the chairman’s recommendations, the Department of Defense has refused to fully investigate the conduct of Caldwell and the Afghan government has also refused to prosecute Yaftali. Unfortunately, I believe that the behavior of General Caldwell in Afghanistan — either a lack of leadership or a willingness to look the other way while Afghan officials are free to steal from U.S. taxpayers with impunity — is not uncommon. I was in Afghanistan recently and I vis-

ited the hospital. The visit reminded me of what it was like for me when I was in the military and had to stand inspections. However, it is impossible for me to know the real story about current conditions at the facility since the hospital staff has put on such performances before and then reverted back to their corrupt practices as soon as the oversight pressure on them was lifted. I left Afghanistan confirming my belief that the greatest threat to its future is not the Taliban but the pervasive corruption that permeates every level of Afghan governance along with the lack of leadership by the United States in confronting it. In the hearing on July 24, 2012, an officer who first reported the abuses at the hospital and was rebuffed by Caldwell, commented that in the Afghan culture when you are haggling over the price at a bazaar the seller will only take you seriously when he knows you are prepared to walk away. We must set firm benchmarks in place for combating corruption and if they fail to reach them we must be prepared to stop funding the Afghan government and walk away. U.S. Rep.

Englewood team wins Hackathon awards es By Tom Munds

5, no and Englewood students surprised their there teacher and a lot of onlookers as they won third place for best student-created apayoff plication and first for programing a robot that named Stero. might A Hackathon is a challenge to develop uncan education-focused program for a smart might phone application. Englewood went to the r for event, which was sponsored by AT&T at e NaAltona Middle School in Longmont. The Pirate team worked on the challenge from was 6-11 p.m. Dec. 7 and from 10 a.m. until 10 es on p.m. the next day. over“We went in cold with no idea what we u had were expected to do and accomplish,” said ange Bill Gilmore, an Englewood High School STEM teacher. “Once we learned what we ea of had to do, our students really pulled tonext gether. The tasks were challenging, we put in a lot of hours and, I am proud to say, the team did a very good job. ” ducaGilmore said he took seven Englewood e can students to the competition, five from his mcast. Science, Technology, Engineering and Math class plus a couple who had strong interest in computers and programing. The members of the Englewood team were Ethan Mounts, Paige McDowell, Trevor Willson, Justin Willson, Miles vonSteinmetz, Kayla Steffens and Ian Pederson. “Our students were tasked with developing a program for the robot named Stero,”

Englewood students (from left) Amanda Workman, Kayula Steffens and Ethan Mounts tackle a programming challenge at the Dec. 7-8 Hackathon. Courtesy photo Gilmore said. “Stero is a ball that does all kind of things. We came up with the idea of having Stero involved in a soccer game children could play.” He said movements in their game are controlled by a smart phone. The Englewood team was joined by a student from Arapahoe High School, a student from Highlands Ranch STEM Academy and a student from Silver Creek High School.

They developed the program needed to have the two balls in the game understand the concept of boundaries in the form of sidelines. Then, the balls were matched against each other and, to score a goal, one ball had to get across the end line before being blocked out by the other ball. Members of the team developed a marketing tool for the newly created game. It was a 40-second video spot announce-

ment. Team members played parts in the video and developed their own soundtrack for it. Freshman Trevor Willson, a Pirate Hackathon team member, said, like the other members of the team, he was a little overwhelmed at first because of the lack of knowledge about the event and what they were expected to accomplish. “The event was definitely a challenge but I think we really worked together as a team and accomplished a lot once we knew what was expected of us,” Wilson said. “It also was a great experience for me as I learned a lot about working together and collaborating to achieve a goal.” He said since no one on the Englewood team had any idea what to expect at the Hackathon, he was surprised the team won two awards. “It took us a little while to get informed and get up to speed,” Wilson said. “But, when we did, we were focused and we completed the challenge.” The teacher said event was a valuable experience for the students. “The Hackathon was something no one at Englewood High School had ever done before,” Gilmore said. “It was a great experience for the students. They were exposed to a variety of different aspects of science, computer programing and how to work together to learn about a lot of different aspects of computers and science.”

Fresh Fare by King Soopers opens Store has large produce section, grab-and-go meals made on site By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A crowd turned out Dec. 12 as the Fresh Fare by King Soopers store at Kent Place opened for business. This is the first Fresh Fare by King Soopers in Colorado, and the doors opened at

6 a.m. to a steady parade of potential customers apparently eager to check out the new design. By about 3 p.m. opening day, the store was crowded. There was almost a need for a cop to direct traffic as customers pushed their baskets from section to section. One store employee said it appeared to be a very good opening-day crowd. The 30,000-square-foot store has a 8,000-square-foot mezzanine where food is prepared. Kelli McGannon, King Soopers marketing and public relations spokesperson, said the store will cater to shoppers seeking fresh fruits and vegetables from local growers, organic and gluten-free products and so-called grab-and-go meals made fresh daily in the store. There is a large meat and seafood department, and the deli includes a sandwich shop that also offers ready-toeat salads. The store will also be offering a breakfast menu, including build-your-own breakfast burritos from 7 to 10 a.m. There is a Starbucks Coffee location near the deli, plus an adjacent seating area. The store is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and employs an estimated 180 people. The official opening was at 9 a.m. Dec. 12. There were some brief speeches and McGannon handed over a giant check for more than $161,000 to the American Red Cross. She explained it was the proceeds

colorado

Where were you born? Fox Lake, Illinois How long have you lived in the area? I essentially grew up here, almost a native as I moved to Denver when I was 12.

the people you work with? Delivering an exceptional, memorable home buying and/or selling experience for my customers is my priority, and my specialty.

a house? “Put on your Sunday-best!” You need to invest the time and energy to present the best possible face; and listen to your Realtor, of course!

What is the most challenging part of what you do? Today’s challenge is the limited inventory. Being on top of the market to take full of advantage of the best on the market when it becomes available.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Have an open mind – sometimes getting what you want is giving up what you planned.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? Enjoying jet skiing at Chatfield Reservoir with my family, hiking in the foothills or surrounding trails.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate? My husband (ha, ha!) I met my husband through my first real estate job! And he is unusual, but in a good way! Photos left to right: Vacations with my husband is in Playa Del Carmen; Pamela Champion; me Machu Picchu, Peru.

What do you like most about it? I enjoy the quaintness of downtown Littleton along with its convenient access to the mountains. Our location truly ‘has it all’ – small town charm, the worldclass city offerings of Denver just minutes away, and the mountain recreation in our backyard. What more can you ask for? How long have you worked in Real Estate? Real estate, in some form, has been my life for almost 20 years. I worked in the homebuilding industry for many years and am now enjoying the variety of the resale market.

HOME PRICES ON

: I’ve been reading that after a few years of price declines that housing is starting to appreciate again and that rents are on the rise because of low vacancy rates. That seems like an ideal time to buy. Should I be looking at buying instead of renting and if so what should I do to get started? : First, you are correct that home prices are on the rise as available inventory has dropped to less than 40% of where it was just a few years ago. And with stricter lending standards fewer people are qualified to purchase forcing them into the rental market thereby driving vacancies

down and rents up. Fortunately the Federal Reserve has been supporting the housing industry through a variety of measures aimed at driving interest rates down. The result is that interest rates are at or near 60 year lows. Therefore, with housing prices still depressed from prior levels the affordability of homes is still near a record. So now IS

a great time to buy, especially given the potential for appreciation that you can capture by buying, and the tax benefits that come with buying. Over the long term you will find that buying versus renting can be tremendously beneficial to buyers. But don’t do so on your own. The first step you should take when considering pur-

chasing is locating an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender (rather than a broker who will be at the mercy, along with you, of underwriters outside their control) that you can meet face-to-face, that has access to the full spectrum of loan programs that they can customize to your needs (not an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all

ness). Once you are preapproved and ready to make offers on properties that can and will be accepted by savvy property sellers (who are worried about creditworthiness), you can ask your lender to recommend an astute and experienced Realtor to help you find the home of your dreams. With your preapproval in hand, your Realtor will be excited to assist you.

Don’t worry — bar still a dive

“After the Autumn Snows” by Charles Partridge Adams is exhibited at the Denver Art Museum. Courtesy photo

Western works assembled for exhibit Charles Partridge Adams known for landscapes By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com “Rocky Mountain Majesty: The Paintings of Charles Partridge Adams” opened Dec. 16 at the Denver Art Museum and runs through Sept. 8, 2013. It is the first time Adams’ masterworks have been displayed together at a major art museum. This will be the only venue for this exhibit of 37 oils and watercolors by the prolific Adams (1858-1942). He is best known for his images of the Colorado mountains, although he created more than a thousand paintings in his lifetime, including images of Yellowstone, the Tetons, the Canadian Rockies, the New Mexican desert and California, where the versatile artist spent his last years painting marine subjects.

IF YOU GO The Denver Art Museum is located on 13th Avenue between Broadway and Bannock in Downtown Denver. The parking garage is entered from 12th Ave., just west of Broadway. Admission: $10/$8/$3, free 5 and younger. Members free. (Additional tickets required for some special exhibits, such as “Becoming Van Gogh.”) Denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000. According to biographical material from the David Cook Gallery in Denver, which carries his work, he came to Denver in 1876 with his mother and two sisters. It was hoped that the Colorado air would cure the sisters’ tuberculosis — a frequent reason for arrival in Colorado at that time, before drugs were available to cure the disease. He found a job with the Chain and Hardy Bookstore and received his only art training from the owner’s wife, artist Helen Chain, who introduced him to area artists, including Alexander Phiminster Proctor.

He and Proctor went on a three-month camping trip, where both developed many sketches, transformed into paintings in the studio — they shared a studio for a short while, before Proctor moved to New York. Adams married in 1890 and opened a studio on Larimer Street in Denver. He did business card watercolors and crayon portraits and was a charter member of the Denver Artists Club. He constructed a home and studio for the couple in Estes Park in 1905, called “The Sketch Box,” where the family spent their summers — and Adams painted many of the Rocky Mountain National Park and Longs Peak scenes. Adams sold paintings in stores in Denver, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Pueblo and Chicago, and developed a wealthy clientele. His paintings were sold to decorate homes and as gifts. The exhibit is included in general admission. It is installed in the second-level Western Art galleries.

Winter Words Writing Workshop planned Instructor Mary Young is noted nature writer By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Author/teacher Mary Taylor Young of Castle Rock has been publishing books about Western wildlife, nature and landscape since 1987 and sharing her skills with others since 1988. Her most recent of 14 books is “Guide to Colorado Mammals,” telling us about bats, bears, bighorn sheep and many more inhabitants that share the state — with species profiles, range maps, field notes and photographs. Young She is working on a book about Rocky Mountain National Park’s upcoming 100th anniversary, due in 2014. Next on her agenda will be the seventh Winter Words Writing Workshop, Feb. 2224 in Estes Park, which invites writers to gather in a beautiful place “to share meals, conversation and a love of writing.” Limited to 10 participants, it’s planned for those who write, or want to write, fiction, memoir, creative or narrative nonfiction, nature writing and more. Participants will submit 15 pages of a work-in-progress by Feb. 1, and the group

When the longtime owner of the Lancer Lounge opted to shutter the neighborhood place at 233 E. Seventh Ave. after succumbing to personal financial pressures, it was no surprise that Denver restaurant mogul Frank Bonanno would take over the seedy space. Nestled between Bonanno’s fine dining spot Mizuna and noodle house Bones, and just around the corner from Luca d’Italia, it only made sense to brand the block as Bonanno’s. So six weeks ago, Lancer started morphing into Vesper Lounge with a limited menu, crafted cocktails, beers in cans and on tap, nightly happy hours from 4 to 6 p.m. and 11 to 1 p.m. plus all day Monday, along with savory snacks. I checked out the place last week along with Bonanno PR gal Lauren Hendrick and Westword editor Patty Calhoun to see Bonanno’s interpretation of the famous dive bar. Have no fear, Vesper isn’t a yuppie bar but rather a cleaned-up version of its old self with upholstered booths from the recently shuttered Ambria restaurant that were sold in auction. New kitschy touches include religious candles from Mexico scattered around the walls. Vesper’s menu items include “Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger!” (fries, no chips, with or without cheese), a potpourri of sandwiches such as a classic club, marinated fish or shaved Colorado lamb pita, Greek lamb patty, gyro, meats on stick and dips served with warm pita. More information: facebook.com/VesperLounge. Next up for Bonanno Concepts: a first venture into the suburbs with Bonanno Brothers Pizzeria, which will open at The Vistas at Park Meadow in Lone Tree early next year.

Jackson’s joins Celebrity Lanes

Celebrity Lanes, the 40-lane bowling alley, kid zone, arcade, tap house, sports grill and outdoor bocce ball facility that opened at Centennial Center (on the northwest corner of East Arapahoe and South Parker roads) last year, has changed the restaurant operator to Jackson’s All American Sports Grill. Kelmore Development is the owner and developer of the project. I’m told that the bowling alley is busy, and that now, thanks to Jackson’s, so is the restaurant space. The project is a $13 million, 50,000-square-foot family entertainment center.

3D Printing Store premieres

Writer Mary Taylor Young’s previous workshop drew an interested spectator. Courtesy photo will analyze and consider it, in addition to soaking up a lecture on the craft of writing and enjoying some outdoor time if they wish. The atmosphere is friendly and keeping the group small allows for an in-depth look at each submission. Think instant critique group. Taylor’s love affair with Rocky Mountain Park had its start in summers spent there at her grandparent’s cabin. She roamed, en-

countered wildlife and plants and learned to record with camera and words. Writers will stay at McGregor Mountain Lodge, bordering Rocky Mountain Park. The workshop cost is $264 (Hotel is additional-contact the lodge.) For information and/or brochure, contact Young: MaryTaylorYoung.com, 303-660-4960. Taylor says the workshop will be held regardless of weather — unless the snowstorm of the millennium occurs.

I’m easily amazed by new technology — something I struggle at best to keep up with. So “amazing” is the most appropriate word to describe 3D Printing, Colorado’s first 3D printing store that just opened at 4603 Monaco St. There is currently one location, but look for pop-up versions of the 3d Printing Store springing up after the first of the year. Recently, I had a sneak peek of the hightech store that prints everything from machinery parts to bracelets. Co-founder Debra Wilcox, along with young entrepreneur David Perleberg, are some of the partners behind the new venture. In addition to trinkets, the 3D printing process holds promise for medicine, health, inventors, artists and industrial prototyping. Wilcox and Perleberg are already working with inventors anxious to prototype Parker continues on Page 18

‘Tepeyac’ back at Su Teatro sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Su Teatro has made it a holiday tradition to present Anthony J.

Garcia has added a contemporary story about illegal immigrants who are hiding in the church to the traditional one.

Lara Gallegos portrays La Virgen de Guadalupe in “Miracle at Tepeyac” at Su Teatro. Courtesy photo A group of young Guatemalans, looking for a better life, are using the church as a way station. Today’s story deals with cultural identity, immigration and AIDS. Throughout, the play shifts back and forth between the time of the miracle, the bishop’s resistance to believing the simple farmer and today’s church and its priests’ troubles dealing with his problems. The set is simple and a five-piece band plays a nice score written by Tony Silva. Singers and actors are a bit uneven in their performances, but the overall effect is a sincere retelling of a favorite legend. Dramatic impact is raised with performances by costumed Grupo Tlaloc dancers who enter with a blast on a conch shell at the beginning and repeat their performance at the end, tying the story more firmly to Hispanic history.

With no virtual gadgets or high-resolution screens, the old-school mechanical kiddie ride has been a doorway staple for the supermarket giant for more than six decades. “The penny pony has been around ever since King Soopers was founded in 1947,” said Rhonda Remy, corporate communications manager. “It was the request of our founder, Lloyd King, that there be a pony in every store, and that it always remain a penny to ride it.” Born in Kansas, King opened the first King Soopers store on June 20, 1947, in Ar-

vada, pioneering several innovations that changed the grocery industry, including an in-store pharmacy and a self-service meat department. According to Remy, King Soopers now has 107 stores in the Denver metropolitan area, each with its own penny pony. The ponies are maintained and repaired by Round Up Music, a Sterling company that specializes in jukeboxes, arcade games and kiddie rides, said Remy, who also believes the company is the original provider of the ponies. Calls to Round Up Music were not returned. Although clunky and slow, even the most techno-savvy tots can’t resist the lure of a two-minute ride. “We have to ride it every time we’re in here,” shopper Chris Donahue said of his two children, Marek, 3, and Sloane, 5. “I think it’s just kind of neat that the pony’s still around and still costs a penny.” Donahue admits the pony takes him down memory lane, too. “When I was a kid, I used to ride the same penny pony, but at the King Soopers

The penny pony at King Soopers has been a sure bet for more than 60 years. Here, five-year-old Sloane Donahue enjoys the pony at King Soopers Store No. 100 in Greenwood Villages. Her father rode a similar plastic steed more than 30 years ago at a King Soopers in Denver. Photo by Deborah Grigsby at Havana and Mississippi,” he said. “I was with my grandparents and it was a penny to ride, back then, so it’s nice to see my kids doing the same thing.” At the time of the pony’s introduction to King Soopers, a loaf of bread cost somewhere around 13 cents. A loaf of bread now averages $3.25.

Inflation aside, Remy said the pony will follow King’s wish and remain a penny to ride. Donahue said the problem is remembering to have a handful of copper coins to feed to pony. “Yeah, it’s always a bad day when we don’t have any pennies.”

Vision for Entertainment District unfolds in Lone Tree By Jane Reuter

jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com In land planners’ vision, the area now known as Lone Tree’s Entertainment District would boast a promenade-style walkway with fountains, play areas and greenery. The amenities would link businesses and tempt visitors into not just lingering, but making it a destination point. A redesigned Park Meadows Drive, the thoroughfare that serves it, likewise would prompt drivers to slow down, look around and pull into the area to explore all it has to offer. That’s the future that the planners outlined during Lone Tree City Council’s Dec. 3 meeting. The detailed presentation from the Urban Land Institute left council members and several business owners in attendance feeling optimistic. “We have good bones in the Entertainment District, and a great opportunity,” said Ken Marsh, owner of the Bridge Centers building that houses Panera Bread. “We’d like to do something that will lift the Entertainment District and lighten it up.” The commercial area southeast of Yosemite along Park Meadows Drive offers a broad menu of fun, including a movie theater; Mexican, Indian, Japanese and American restaurants; indoor sky diving; bowling; laser tag; and a cigar lounge. But city officials, who have long pondered solutions for the area, worry it’s tough to find, hard to access and tricky to

navigate. “Our short answer is the concept of an entertainment district should not be maintained,” said retail architect John Ward, pointing to medical facilities, apartment complexes, hotels and office buildings that abut the businesses. “That is a neighborhood.” As such, planners recommend creating a new name for the area, then branding it with monument signs and marketing material. Separations between businesses and large paved parking lots discourage walking, critics have said, and the businesses are arranged so that some are tucked almost out of sight behind others. A recommended plaza and walkway would create a pedestrian link among those businesses north of Park Meadows Drive from Yosemite Street to the movie theater. “It should be a very pedestrian, warm, wonderful place to be,” Ward said, “a place you want to take your kids, a place where you want to have a drink before the movie.” Park Meadows Drive could be redesigned with bicycle lanes, broader sidewalks and traffic calming devices. A trail on the street’s south side that winds through a drainage also could be significantly enhanced to becomes its own draw and encourage more pedestrian access. But for any of it to happen, ULI said the city must take the lead and bring the district’s 40-plus property owners together. All of them, planners said, must buy into the vision to ensure its success. “It’s going to take a financial investment on behalf of everyone,” Ward said. City leaders now are considering their

next step. “We have a lot to consider,” Councilmember Susan Squyer said. “I think we owe it to our citizens to make that a really attractive place.”

Uncertainty hinders recovery, industry leaders say South chamber breakfast features panel discussion By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Despite having record amounts of cash on hand, businesses are afraid to spend it. At least that’s what a panel of industry leaders at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce 26th annual Economic Forecast Breakfast theorized. “There’s a lot of good signs out there, there’s money on the balance sheets, but there’s also a lot of cash still on the sidelines,” said Mike Matthews, Wells Fargo Denver market president. “The big question out there is, what role will the government play? What’s the fiscal policy going to look like? What’s the tax policy going to look like?” Matthews, along with Al Power, Gates Corp. president and CEO; Gary Campbell, Centura Health president and CEO; Joe Rice, Lockheed Martin Space Systems director of government relations; and Jeppesen President and CEO Mark Van Tine made up a brain trust of local industry leaders gathered, along with more than 800 guests, on Dec. 14 at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center to share views on the

future of the economy. The five-member panel fielded questions from moderator Jerry Healey, president and CEO of Colorado Community Media, each presenting an industry-specific twist on what may or may not happen fiscally at the beginning of the year. “It’s not a question of if it’s resolved,” said Rice of the looming fiscal cliff, the conundrum the government faces Jan. 1 when the terms of the Budget Control Act of 2011 are set to go into effect. “It’s more of how it will be addressed.” According to Rice, Lockheed has plenty to lose should the nation tumble over the fiscal cliff, pointing out Lockheed’s major customers are government and defense contractors such as the Air Force. While technology plays a significant role in bolstering the financial future, it too can’t move forward without confident investors, said Van Tine, suggesting one of the more certain places to invest may be internally. “I think one of the best investments you can make is in investing in your own business,” he said. “It’s like having money in your pocket and just waiting for someone to come and tell you it’s OK to spend it.” But even as fiscal cliff negotiations progress in Washington, the panel agreed the real key to freeing up cubbyholed cash lies

Colorado’s diverse economic base has helped it survive, according to John Brackney, chamber president and CEO. Pent-up momentum was a consistent

thread throughout the morning discussion. “We’ll probably see a slow start to 2013,”said Matthews. “Hopefully, with more certainty, we’ll see more cash come Decora back into the market.”

Year-end tax advantages available for 2012 This year is quickly coming to a close. There are only a few weeks left to make changes for the tax year. Here are some guidelines to help reduce taxes now or in the future. This year we had some nice positive surprises on Wall Street considering all the bad news the media was pushing. Debt problems in Europe, austerity measures in Greece, a significant drop in growth

in China and our own political bickering could have brought the stock market to its knees. However we had double-digit returns in most equities, including foreign holdings, and many

bond portfolios had above-average returns as well. If you followed our tax planning from last year, you would have taken tax losses from unwanted investments in 2011. You can now use up some of those losses that carried forward and adjust your portfolio once again. While tax loss harvesting remains a good tax saving strategy, this year the goal may be to rack up as many long-term capital gains as possible before the current tax law expires. You can take up to $3,000 each year as a loss against your ordinary income or 100 percent of losses against investment gains. Review your account and search for long-term capital gains that can be harvested this year. This will push the tax liability into 2012 before the possible increase in capital gains taxes in the future. This is a great strategy that can offset losses, step up your cost basis and realign your portfolio all at once.

Current tax law allows both qualified dividends and capital gains on assets held more than a year to be taxed at the 15 percent limit or lower, depending on your tax bracket. Consider realizing capital gains in a child’s account where the capital gains rate may actually be zero this year. You may also consider converting a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. While individual situations vary, this would be a good year to volunteer to pay the taxes at current rates on IRA assets and convert them into a Roth before rates increase. Given that the income limits are waived for conversions, even high wage earners may feel this year has potentially lower tax rates. Distributions after age 59½ are tax-free if the Roth account is held for five years. This pushes the future gain into a tax-free status which could last a lifetime or longer to a beneficiary. Review your accounts at work and maximize your

pre-tax contributions. This will help to reduce your taxable income for the year and you could put more money to work. The maximum contribution this year is $17,000 in a 401(k) with an extra $5,500 catch-up if you are over age 50. Beginning in 2013, these numbers have been indexed up to $17,500 with the same catch-up provision. IRA limits also increased by $500. Self-employed individuals may have a better advantage if they have the cash flow to fund their individual 401(k) accounts up to $50,000 plus the $5,500 catch-up if eligible. The plan must be opened by year-end, which may be different than other self-employed plans. Parents or relatives funding a college plan that is eligible for the state income tax deduction may want to maximize their contribution before year-end. You can put in up to $13,000 per child without filing a

gift-tax return. Review your spending for 2012 and plan a budget for the New Year. Plan early to have enough savings to fund retirement and college. Meet with your advisor to design a strategy for the future, which may include rising taxes and inflation. The new tax laws and economic recovery may require a different investment strategy in the coming year.

Past is blast at new Rocket Fizz shop Highlands Ranch candy store has infinite inventory By Ryan Boldrey

rboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com Whatever happened to candy cigarettes, Necco wafers and Butter Rum Life Savers? What about whoopee cushions, potato guns and 3-D glasses? If you’re looking for any of those items, an old Jerry Garcia concert poster from 1967, an Incredible Hulk action figure or perhaps some hard-to-find international candy, Patrick Evans has just the place for you. New to Highlands Ranch in November, Evans has brought Rocket Fizz, a onestop-shop for what he calls “Crazy, whack-a-doo fun” to the suburbs. Started four and a half years ago in Southern Cali-

Rocket Fizz owner Patrick Evans stands in front of the “Wall of Soda’”at his Highlands Ranch store. Hundreds of flavors of soda, all kinds of old-fashioned candy and other treats are available. Photo by Ryan Boldrey fornia as a soda manufacturing company, Rocket Fizz opened its first pop and candy store in Camarillo, Calif., a few months later. There are now 30 franchised stores from Camarillo to Tennessee. Four of those stores are in Colorado, including Evans’ two shops, off 15th

and Larimer in Denver and in the University Plaza in Highlands Ranch. There are 450 flavors of soda — 62 of which are original Rocket Fizz flavors (from Bacon to Jalapeno to Peanut Butter and Jelly) — around 2,000 types of candy, and hundreds of tins, concert posters, nostalgic

gags and toys. “It’s a bit of a challenge getting all these items in here,” Evans admits, “but my inventory nightmare is your beautiful dream. It’s a little extra work, but the goal is to give everybody what they love.” By that, Evans means, on the off chance you can’t find what you are looking for in his store, he’ll be more than happy to do his best to get it in. “As a corporate accountant, I said no to everybody all the time,” he said. “It feels so much better to say yes. So I say yes to candy bars, yes to private parties, yes to weddings, yes to gift baskets, yes to everything. If you want to rent out the store for the day or night, have a party and help yourself to the candy, we can do that. Come on in and eat what you want, it’ll be just like Willy Wonka’s playground. I’m serious.”

Englewood swim battles dwindling numbers Lack of pool at school hurting according to coach

Va week Univ Th with tions state offer gon S of Al D Alab

By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Coach Tracey Lonn admits it isn’t likely the Englewood girls swim team will win many dual matches because she only has 14 girls on the roster, and that number includes three divers. “We have a small roster and the majority of our girls are new to high school swimming,” the coach said. “Since we know we are not likely to be competitive in a dual meet, we are focused on helping the girls improve their swimming skills every time they get into the pool.” The Pirates practice at the Englewood Recreation Center and are on the road for all their meets. The team traveled to Westminster Dec. 13 for the final competition in 2012. They will continue to practice until school closes for the holiday break on Dec. 21. After Dec. 24, there will be no organized practices until the first week of January. The first meet of 2013 sends Englewood on the road Jan. 9 to St. Mary’s in Colorado Springs. Lonn said while all the girls have the favorite strokes they like to swim, all the Pirates are learning all the strokes. “With only 11 swimmers we can’t really have specialists,” the coach said. This is the 40th year of girls swimming at Englewood and the first year the Pirates don’t have a pool at the school. “I think not having a pool at the school is a factor in the small number on our roster because some girls don’t like to have to come to the recreation center to practice and going on the road for every meet,” Lonn said. “Riding the bus to the recreation center for practice takes getting used to. I know that, when we had the pool at the high school, there were girls who stayed after class for extra help then came late to practice. Girls can’t do that now because, if you miss the bus, you either find a way to the rec center of miss practice.” Englewood divers are sharing a coach with St. Mary’s Academy and sharing facilities at other schools so they only get to practice twice a week. Englewood’s divers are returning letter winner Lauren West and two first-year divers, Sage Sherman and Mo

Marissa Johnson swims the breaststroke during the Dec. 13 practice. The second-year swimmer’s favorite event is the 100 meter freestyle. Photo by Tom Munds Montgomery. Some swimmers, like Marissa Johnson, are returning letter winners. She said she returned to the team this year because she loves swimming and it is the sport she likes the best. She also plays tennis in the spring and she said swimming helps her with that sport by improving her arm strength and her stamina. “Swimming is a sport I can do in the winter and I do it because I think swimming is a lot of fun. It is great to workout with teammates and when you are at a meet, you are competing against yourself as well as the girls from the other team,” she said. “I like the sprint freestyle events. The 50-meter freestyle is OK but I like the 100-meter freestyle better.” She said she likes the 100 better because she can pace herself better during the race.

“My best time in the 100 is 1:12 and my goal is to get my best time down to 1:05 or better,” she said. “I know I have to work on improving my flip turns at the end of each lap if I want to cut about seven seconds of my best time. It’s a challenge but I think I can do it.” Sophomore Josie Phillips said she joined the swim team because she wanted to get in good physical condition. “It was a lot harder than I thought it would be,” she said with a smile. “I was very sore when practices started. Time and getting used to the workouts have cured that so swimming is fun.” Phillips said she could swim but what she did definitely wasn’t the type of swimming needed to compete in meets. “I pretty much knew enough and could swim well enough to keep afloat,” she

said. “The practices and working with the coaches have helped me become a lot better swimmer.” She swims the sprint freestyle events and is working on learning to swim the 100-meter butterfly. “The butterfly is a hard stroke to learn and it is physically demanding,” Phillips said. “It is hard to get the timing and coordination down so you swim the stroke smoothly and fast. I am learning and I am getting better at it.” She said the next stroke she will work on will be the backstroke. She said she likes the stroke because it is easier to breathe that when you head is in the water. But, she also said it is hard to get the timing and distance down so you can make good flip turns. Again, she said she is learning and getting better.

Englewood boys hoop record now at .500 Pirates get an impressive win but also lose one in last week’s action By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood’s boys basketball team won a game and lost a game in non-league action so they come into this week with a 3-3 season record. Englewood’s shooters had the range dialed Dec. 11 as they hit shot after shot from long range 0n their way to the 59-45 over Ridge View Academy. However, the Pirates weren’t as accurate when they played Jefferson Dec. 14 and the Saints hauled down rebounds that triggered fast breaks as they won the game 61-46. “We had our offense working well against Ridge View Academy and both teams had about the same varsity basketball experience level,” coach Dave Chapman said. “The Jefferson game was a different story. The Saints had several returning players and our inexperience handling their pressure defense showed. The same is true of going after rebounds while protecting against the long outlet pass for a fast break. Jefferson did that long pass-fast break combo well and I think I counted six or eight straight baskets they scored that way.” The Pirates were on the road Dec. 18 against Arvada and close out the 2012 portion of the schedule Dec. 21 at home against Colorado Academy.

Chapman said Colorado Academy apparently has a good team this season anchored by a trio of outstanding freshmen. The Mustangs come into the week with a 6-0 record. According to the statistics, Colorado Academy is scoring an average of 64 points a game. They apparently spread things around as they are averaging 15 assists per game. They also are crashing the boards and pulling down an average of 36 rebounds each time they play a game. The Dec. 21 game is a triple header with the freshman game starting at 4:30. The JV game tipoff scheduled at 5:30 and the varsity game scheduled to start at 7. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students with school identification and a single ticket is good for admission to all three games. Englewood is 3-3 in the first six games of the season. The team’s per game average is 56 points, 12 assists and 26 rebounds. So far this season, Jared Lick is the team scoring leader, averaging about 12 points per game. Lick is the center but he also shoots from outside and he had hit 11 baskets from three-point range for far this year, the team leader in that department. Bryan Aguilar is the team’s No. 2 scorer, averaging 13 points a game. He plays guard and had 16 assists and 16 steals for the season. “The outside shot is my thing. I don’t have a special spot for my shot, I just shoot if I am open,” Aguilar said. “I try to transition quickly from offense to defense. I am always working on my defensive play so I can get stronger and stronger in that area. I

Photo by Tom Munds have pretty good quickness so I try to match up against their best guy or their fastest guy.” He did see some varsity playing time last year and said it is a big step to becoming a varsity starter. “It feels good to be at the varsity level,” he said. “But it is a challenge because it is a faster pace and the players are more talented and physical but it still is fun to be out there on the court as a starter.” Aguilar said he hasn’t set any specific goals but is just trying to help the Pirates win games so the team can make it to the playoffs. Teammate Greg Pearson is a first-year

player who is doing a good job for the Pirates, using his quickness and speed to help the team move the ball around. He is averaging 7.7 points per game in the first six games of the season. His best night as a scorer this season came against Ridge View Academy as he scored 14 points. “I had a good night tonight. I was able to hit some shots from outside and that opened things up so I could drive and make layups,” he said after the Dec. 11 game. “I like basketball. I play to stay in shape and it is a fun game.” He said he likes to drive to the basket and, from outside, he likes to shoot from the elbow.
