Englewood is a place where residents are “fiercely loyal,” Wendy Rubin says.

She couldn’t help but smile as she remarked how much people care about their city.

Rubin, the superintendent of the Englewood school district, is sitting confident in her second year in the position. With the city’s two high schools fresh off being rebuilt or renovated from Rubin 2013-15 and its preschool and four elementary schools set to get allnew buildings, the district has pulled off a turnaround in the last seven years that doesn’t show signs of stopping.

“It was a revolving door of superintendents after Roscoe Davidson retired,” Rubin said of the former superintendent who died at 89 last August. After his 1999 retirement, there were a total of eight superintendents within about a decade, the district said.

That state of flux made it hard for the district to make stable progress, Rubin said, but things turned around with Brian Ewert taking the position in 2010.

NEWS IN A HURRY

GREG WALLACH

Greg Wallach teaches bike repair.

Once and future bike mechanic Bicycle cycles I had a bike shop in Denver for 35 years, and I retired last year. My shop was called Green Tree Cyclery, up on Pearl Street.

The bike industry went through a lot of cycles in 35 years, no pun intended.

In the early ‘70s, there was a bike boom that was bigger than any we’ve experienced since. The 10-speed became the heartthrob of every young American.

Everybody wanted to do bike tours. Then in the ‘80s the mountain bike was invented, and that created its own little boom. Then the cruiser bike got popular — they’re still popular in Denver. My interest was always in using bikes as a replacement for a car, and hopefully I convinced a few people to do that in my career.

Volunteering for a good cause I’ve been volunteering with the Good Turn program, which is affiliated with Café 180 in Englewood. At Café 180, if you can’t afford your meal, you can get it covered or work in the kitchen. It’s a social enterprise.

I volunteer once a week in the apprentice program, teaching people how to do bike mechanics. It’s trying to give people a job opportunity.

Suspected Littleton carjacker caught in California bus station

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A man accused of a carjacking in Littleton is a fugitive sexual predator from Florida and has been apprehended in California.

Littleton police responded to a report of menacing at Church Avenue and Prince Street about 10 a.m. June 23.

Two women reported that they had arranged to meet a man later identified as Eric Ray Weston, Weston 35, to see a car he had listed for sale, according to a police spokesman.

Weston pulled a gun on the women, who fled, Cmdr. Trent Cooper said.

Weston allegedly fled on foot a block away to Libby Bortz Assisted Living and stole a car.

The car was later located by Englewood police after Weston fled from officers on foot, Cooper said.

Weston was arrested at a Greyhound bus station in San Bernardino, California, a little after midnight on June 25.

A spokesman from the San Bernardino County Sheriff ’s Department said

IRISH

Weston is currently hospitalized there, but could not say why.

Weston will face charges of felony menacing and robbery in connection with the Littleton crimes, Cooper said. In California, charges listed for Weston include possession of a firearm by a felon and prohibited possession of ammunition.

Weston is also wanted by the Walton County, Florida, Sheriff ’s Office after he was released from prison in Georgia and failed to register as a sexual predator at an address in Florida, and on suspicion of another carjacking.

He was last seen in Florida boarding a Greyhound bus in Fort Walton Beach on June 10.

Weston was found guilty of molestation and sexual battery of a victim under 12 years old in Florida in 2001. A news release from Walton County said Weston is “known to associate with teenage males and takes measures to make himself appear younger than his age.”

Cooper said Weston will return to Colorado to face charges, though he said via email that “after California is done with him, it is uncertain who will be the next in line to prosecute him.”

Suspects accused of massive marijuana-trafficking ring Indictment targets 62 people, 12 businesses in alleged criminal network

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Officials on June 28 announced the indictment of members of what’s suspected to be the largest illegal pottrafficking ring since marijuana was legalized in Colorado, unveiling an operation that allegedly involved 12 businesses in the Denver metro area and along the Front Range.

The 62 suspected ring members allegedly operated across the state and trafficked across state lines as well.

Flanked by local and federal law enforcement officials, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman described a more than three-year effort to shut down the trafficking and cultivation network, which officials said stretched from Colorado to Texas. Coffman told media at the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center in Denver that the group produced more than 100 pounds of marijuana per month on average in a scheme that allegedly involved tax evasion, money laundering, fraud and attempts to influence public officials.

Revenue from the sale of the marijuana is estimated to have exceeded $200,000 per month over a four-year

period, authorities said.

“The black market is continuing to flourish in Colorado alongside legal operations,” Coffman said. “This case shows the black market did not stop with legalization in Colorado.”

The investigation has “dealt a major blow to the illegal marijuana industry,” Denver Police Chief Robert C. White said in a news release.

A January 2014 citizen complaint led Denver police to discover interconnected, unlicensed marijuana grows located in warehouses and residences across the Denver metro area, a news release from Coffman’s office said. A map presented at the June 28 news conference shows the location of residences, warehouses, storage units and stores suspected in the investigation, which officials are calling “Operation Toker Poker.” Locations were marked on the map for Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties, with a heavy concentration of sites in the south Denver, Littleton, Englewood, Lakewood and south Jefferson County areas.

Members of the alleged trafficking ring represented themselves as medical marijuana patient caregivers, property managers servicing marijuana growers and small business owners while trafficking marijuana out of state, the release said.

Controversial ‘sludge’ issue could see big change Water from Big Dry Creek may be diverted to new route

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The issue of low-level radioactive sludge at Englewood’s water treatment plant, which prompted a former water plant worker and a resident to file two notices of claim against the city, may soon be partly addressed with a longterm solution.

The two legal claims may result in lawsuits in Arapahoe County District Court if the residents file suit, but neither has reached that point.

All water in Englewood that comes from a municipal source — the water that comes out of taps, hoses, showers and so on — gets filtered at the Charles Allen Water Filtration Plant, which sits at 1500 W. Layton Ave., not far from Big Dry Creek and a short distance east of the South Platte River.

Currently, water that the treatment plant filters comes from sources that include those two waterways.

In a preliminary vote, the Englewood City Council on June 19 approved the construction of what’s called a “diversion pipeline” to change the path of Big Dry Creek water to bypass a key intake spot near West Union Avenue along the South Platte, which would allow the plant to take in less radioactive water. That vote was on first reading, and the council will vote again July 3.

If approved a second time, the project would begin in 2018. Currently, there’s construction underway on a new trail in the area. The pipeline would be built underneath that trail.

Keck said the project is mostly aimed at addressing the hardness of the water that comes from Big Dry Creek — which causes scum buildup and other problems for home appliances — but a side effect of the project is that it will reduce byproducts of the filtering process.

Or, as residents call it, “sludge.”

Some claim sludge caused cancer In September, a longtime employee at the Allen plant signed on to one claim that asserts that the city’s handling of the sludge poses a health risk.

Ken Kloewer, who spent three decades working at the plant, developed cancer and said it was due to exposure to the sludge, a radioactive byproduct of filtering that is technically called residuals.

A resident living in the neighborhood near the plant brought the first claim against the city, Keck said, and others signed on as well. The claim would be heard in court, but it’s not scheduled yet, Keck said. It’s up to the party that brings the accusation to file the suit, Keck said.

Kloewer said he contracted cancer in 2013 and alleged that several plant employees have died of cancer in recent years because of the sludge.

The residents behind the claim argue that the risk of radiation was made worse by the city leaving the residuals out to dry at the plant longer than usual. Generally, the city stores

the byproduct on a lot at the plant under a tarp to dry.

The city has noted that sample air tests from the plant performed in July 2016 showed that airborne hazardous material levels were below federal exposure limits, based on a report by the Colorado Intergovermental Risk Sharing Agency. Keck sent a letter to residents near the plant earlier that month that said radiation at the plant is “actually below the average” indoor amount for the United States as a whole and “well below” the predicted indoor amount for Arapahoe County.

A disposal permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment says the sludge should be allowed to dry for one year before being removed from the site.

But that department prohibited two landfills from accepting the sludge in 2012, and Englewood did not remove it for years after that point.

Englewood’s utilities department told city council in June 2016 that another landfill could accept the sludge, and the council approved sludge from 2013 and 2014 to be moved to that location.

Increase in radioactivity claimed Kathleen Bailey, an Englewood resident who has spoken frequently to city council about the sludge, said in September that records show an increase in the sludge’s radioactive level in 2010 based on studies she said she’s done. Bailey believes there is a connection between the sludge and four Allen plant employees who developed cancer.

Bailey filed a second claim against

the city in February arguing that Englewood was unresponsive to a Colorado Open Records Act request she made, Keck said.

“She made a CORA request (for documents from) 2010, and we couldn’t find the papers,” Keck said. “We did an exhaustive search.” Bailey and an attorney went to a city consultant that was supposed to have the information, and the consultant said it found the information at that point, Keck said.

On June 26 at a city council study session, a new report by three outside companies said that “all risk is within acceptable levels” of the EPA Acceptable Incremental Cancer Risk Range.

‘No health risk’ Englewood utilities director Tom Brennan said in the past that Big Dry Creek brings “terrible water” and is the source of the radioactivity.

The creek’s water also goes through rock formations that cause hardness of the water, which residents have complained about, Keck said. “(The project) is gonna solve that problem without using a lot of chemicals Denver uses to deal with hardness,” Keck said. “But another ancillary benefit of diverting this water is that considerably fewer residuals will be generated.”

Anyone who draws their water from surface waters in cities near Englewood has to deal with naturally occurring radiation, Keck said.

“As pretty clearly stated (in the new report), there is no health risk to employees, the public, people recreating or the animals near the plant,” Keck said.

Volunteers clean up trail Trash picked up along Big Dry Creek bike path

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Instead of relaxing at home, about 30 men and women spent about two hours June 24 picking up trash along the portion of the Big Dry Creek bike path from the South Platte River to West Belleview Avenue.

“I am a member of Keep Englewood Beautiful Committee and we planned this project to try to clean up the area along the bike path,” said Caroline Godwin Thompson. “There is pretty scenery along the path and we want to make it prettier by cleaning up the trash alongside it.”

Jennifer Heller, a 1998 Englewood High School graduate, was one of the volunteers.

“I am back in my hometown I want to get back to being involved in the community,” she said. “I joined KEB and I think it is great that so many

Kathy Nemmers picks up trash along the Big Dry Creek bike path as she and other volunteers take part in the Keep Englewood Beautiful Committee’s June 24 cleanup project. About 30 volunteers took part in the project, picking up trash along the bike path from the South Platte River to West Belleview Avenue.

TOM MUNDS people are pitching in for this cleanup. Englewood’s parks are a great asset to our community and I think it is great that we are doing something

to take care of those parks.”

The men and women assembled at the Canine Corral Dog Park area where they were briefed, got trash

bags and plastic gloves and then headed out to clean up the trail.

Volunteers split up, some heading west toward the South Platte River while others headed southeast, following the trail through Belleview Park where the bike path goes under West Belleview Avenue.

“I think this is an awesome project,” Cathye Woody said as she prepared to head out on the cleanup effort. “Englewood parks are nice but there are people who can’t go put their trash in one of the many containers the city makes available. So we will help make things nicer by cleaning up what they dropped along the bike path.”

The volunteers worked about two hours and gathered numerous bags of trash, which went into trash bins as they wrapped up the project.

Thompson said this is the first KEB cleanup project and the committee is considering sponsoring additional cleanup projects in other areas but no dates or locations have been identified.

Fire dispatch merger plan shot down by council Members were concerned that measure was premature; Cunningham Fire severs ties

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The effort to merge Littleton Fire Rescue’s dispatch center with that of South Metro Fire Rescue died at the June 27 city council meeting.

The measure, touted as a cost-saving move for the city, was defeated on second reading after a public hearing, with Mayor Bruce Beckman and Councilmembers Peggy Cole, Doug Clark and Jerry Valdes voting no.

Council had been debating the possibility of merging dispatch operations since last August. Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Chris Armstrong was promoting the effort, saying Littleton’s fire dispatch center is chronically understaffed and suffers from high turnover, largely as a result of higher pay offered by nearby districts.

“I’m very uncomfortable with this whole thing, and my mother said trust your gut,” Beckman said. “Where was the discussion of these issues and their criticality four or three or two years ago? We could have dealt with those issues incrementally.”

The measure would have dismantled Littleton’s in-house fire dispatch center

Littleton Fire Rescue deputy communications supervisor Sandy Vale explains the calltaking system at Littleton’s fire dispatch center on June 8.

DAVID GILBERT and sent much of its equipment and staff to South Metro Fire Rescue, a consolidated department whose coverage area includes, Parker, Lone Tree, Greenwood Village, Castle Pines and a large chunk of Centennial, among other areas. Proponents of the plan say it would have saved Littleton about $400,000 per year.

Littleton’s dispatch center also covers Highlands Ranch, the Littleton Fire Protection District (covering western Centennial and parts of unincorporated Jefferson County) and the Cunningham Fire Protection District (covering a small portion of Centennial and parts of unincorporated Arapahoe County).

Cunningham Fire, however, an-

nounced at the meeting that they are severing their ties with Littleton, and have already signed a contract with South Metro that will take effect Jan. 1.

“The fact that (Littleton’s) dispatchers are overworked and underpaid is something you will have to deal with,” Cunningham president Mark Lampert told council. “As a contractor, we feel that we deserve better.”

Cunningham Fire takes with it a contract worth $334,000 in 2018, as well as about 5,000 calls per year, or about 25 percent of Littleton’s call volume, Armstrong said.

“Losing Cunningham as a partner doesn’t help our situation,” Armstrong said. “We either need to come up with a

way to cut $334,000 out of our budget or come up with the difference ourselves.”

Beckman said that while the dispatch merger proposal was not part of an ongoing discussion about a wholesale dismantling of Littleton Fire Rescue and subsequent unification of the district with South Metro, consultants hired by the city to examine the prospect of unification were recommending not to pursue the merger until their work was done.

Several councilmembers also expressed surprise upon learning that Littleton’s dispatch center has been under a hiring freeze since January. “(We’ve been told) the primary reason we have to do this right now is because we can’t hire dispatchers, when in fact we’re not even trying,” Councilmember Doug Clark said.

Armstrong said he had instituted the hiring freeze because South Metro had informed him that if the merger went forward, they would hire on all full-time staff who had completed their probationary period, and he didn’t want to hire someone only to have to fire them if the merger took place.

Councilmember Bill Hopping said he voted for the measure with reluctance.

“Like it or not, there’s more highdensity housing,” Hopping said. “Our fire needs are going to continue to increase. This is a big-picture kind of move. What will our needs be as our population grows older and more dense?”

Police kill carjacking suspect after high-speed chase Two women shot as pursuit that began in Littleton ends in Denver

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A late-night high-speed chase that began with a carjacking in Littleton ended with one suspect dead and another in critical condition in a south Denver industrial district in the early morning hours of June 30.

Both suspects who were shot were women, and two male suspects remain on the loose, said Cmdr. Barb Archer of the Denver Police Department’s Major Crimes Division. Denver is overseeing the investigation.

Archer gave a brief narrative of what her department says happened at a press conference in Denver: The incident began a little before midnight June 29, when a man in

Littleton reported his car was stolen by two women and two men, one of whom fired a shot.

About five minutes later, Littleton police spotted the car, a white fourdoor sedan, near Arapahoe Community College and attempted a stop with lights and sirens. The suspects, now only the two women, took off northbound on Santa Fe Drive.

Littleton officers were joined by Englewood units as they headed northbound, informing Denver of the unfolding chase.

Officers from both departments followed the suspects into Denver, and at Santa Fe Drive and Florida Avenue, the chase turned eastward into the labyrinthine industrial district that lines the BNSF railroad tracks.

At some point, officers rammed the stolen car in what’s known as a “PIT maneuver.” The suspects drove on, police say, so they rammed the car again. A third collision brought the

Littleton police seek suspect who struck officer with car STAFF REPORT

A Littleton police officer was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries after being struck by a car driven by a suspect who then fled the scene.

About noon June 28, officers responded to the shopping center at 2819 W. Belleview Ave. to investigate a vehicle that was suspected of having been stolen, according to a Littleton Police Department news release.

As officers approached the vehicle, the suspect accelerated and struck one of the officers, the release states.

One of the officers fired a shot at the vehicle, and police say it was not known if the car was struck by the round.

The suspect — described as a 25- to 30-year-old Hispanic woman with dyed blond hair — fled in the vehicle and was last seen heading northbound on Santa Fe Drive at Hampden Avenue, police said.

The suspect’s vehicle is described as an older, dark blue sedan with heavy body damage and stolen plates.

The officer who was struck by the car had been released from the

Drums Along the Rockies coming to Denver Lily Walker used one word to describe Drums Along the Rockies: “spectacular.” Last year, 40,000 people swarmed Sports Authority Field at Mile High for the annual marching music competition.

“It’s honestly the craziest thing you could experience,” said Walker, a 19-year-old from Highlands Ranch who is on the Blue Knights Drum and Bugle Corps, one of 10 groups that will perform in this year’s spectacle.

The world’s top drum corps will entertain the crowd and battle for top honors from 6:30-10:30 p.m. on July 15 at the downtown Denver stadium, 1701 Bryant St. Tickets range from $20-50 and can be purchased at ascendperformingarts.org/events/datr/.

On tour since June 18, Denver’s Blue Knights, comprised

of young marching musicians from across the globe, have

played at some of the country’s top facilities including Stan-

ford Stadium and Rose Bowl Stadium, both in California.

But, Blue Knights executive director Mark Arnold said, the upcoming competition at Sports Authority Field tops them all.

“The crowd who attends Drums Along the Rockies is always one of the most enthusiastic, engaged and electric crowds we perform for all year,” said Arnold.

Arnold foresees the ultimate showdown among three corps: The contemporary, avantgarde-style Blue Knights, the jazzy Blue Devils, of Concord, California, and the big bandstyle Blue Coats, of Canton, Ohio.

“What’s really exciting is the corps coming all have unique musical and programming styles,” Arnold said. “These drum corps are among the very best in the world.”

VOICES Boo-who-whom — let us weep for grammar gone by

o who it may concern: I have some great news.

The word “whom” no longer exists.

You can forget about it. Most of you already have.

It’s rarely used when it should be, even by writers and others who (correct) should know better.

“Who loves you?” is correct, but “Who do you love?” is incorrect. Not anymore.

“Whom” was given a one-way ticket to Palookaville, just like Marlon Brando, who (correct) starred in “On the Waterfront” as Terry Malloy, whom (correct) we admire when he stands up to union boss Johnny Friendly.

The two words are just an “m” apart, but it took my high school English teacher an entire class period to explain the difference.

That night, the family watched “Who Do You Trust?” and I was confused all over again. I still am.

Correctly using “whom” makes it sounds like you’ve been to college, and that’s about it. It always sounds like French cuffs on a bowling shirt.

I respect the rules of grammar. Right down to “i” before “e” except after “c.” See? But wait. What about “science”? And then there is “weird.” Language can be a weird science, can’t it?

What about “an” before “h” words? Al-

Failing your way to success is the opposite of real failure BUSINESS AIKIDO

M

ost of us have been taught to move forward cautiously, make intelligent decisions, and not fail. In our society, failure has a nasty taste to it. Failure isn’t commonly thought of as a good thing. Most don’t realize that those who repeatedly fail are those who ultimately succeed. Failure is what counts – it’s picking yourself up, learning from your mistakes, and moving forward a bit smarter from the experience. Fail fast and fail frequently!

With my engineering training, I was taught to learn as much as

possible on the topic of interest prior to venturing forth. It was OK to fail, but do so in new ways.

It’s goofy to reinvent the wheel in every situation. Oftentimes a product or idea is totally new and there is limited information to pull from before venturing out.

Success in anything is very similar to learning to walk. The only way you learn is by repeatedly failing. A certain amount of walking is learned from watching grown-ups, but you can’t learn how to do it for yourself SEE BOTT P13

If you think it can drive someone crazy who (correct) reads tweets and texts that others write, truncated and abbreviated and slanged around, you’d be correct.

I make mistakes all of the thyme. I often wright as fast as I think, and “you’re” becomes “your,” even though I know better.

Whom, doom, tomb. That’s the crux of this column. Why isn’t crux spelled “crucks”? Because “crucks” looks plural, and you can’t have more than one “crux.” At least, that’s my guess.

Remember that life offers plenty of good news

don’t know about you, but when someone asks me if I want to hear some really good news, I typical get excited.

Of course I WINNING want to hear WORDS really good news; heck, I would even take just plain old good news.

And then there is always that statement Michael Norton followed by a question.

“So, I have some good news and some bad news, which one would you like to hear first?” Some of us want to get the bad news over with first so we opt for hearing the worst first. Others of us prefer to get the good news out and then deal with the bad news next, kind of hoping the goods news softens any bad news that may be coming next.

For me, I always start with wanting to hear the good news first. I prefer this because my hope is that the good news is really so good that we can build upon it and

maybe never even have to get to the bad news at all. Or, the good news will put us in a frame of mind where we can respond to the bad news from a position of strength based on our positive thinking.

While at a conference last week I was talking with a few of the people who were in attendance. As we talked about current events and what was happening in the world, a couple of the guys stayed noticeably silent. Me being curious and also someone who reads and watches the news consistently, I asked them for their thoughts on a specific current event. Then one of the two men shared with me that they had actually become accountability partners for each other in a few areas of life, things like fitness, financial responsibility, and they even agreed to turn off all access to news.

They had decided it was too sad, it was making them too upset or angry, and they couldn’t tell what was real and what was fake. I know, I know, the whole “real” news or “fake” news is news all by itself these days.

That conversation, or one very similar to it, probably plays out in homes and in offices each and every day, and probably sometimes several times a day. It is certainly tossed around the internet like a seed in a windstorm looking for a place to land and hopefully get nurtured, fed, and cared for through someone else’s social media feed. You know what I am talking about right?

“Press `Like’ if you agree.”

I am certainly not here to debate the topic of what is “real” news or “fake” news, but I am hoping to give you another way of thinking about what’s important, and that is the “good” news. You can start your company or team meeting off every Monday with “Good News Monday” or end each week on a “Good News Friday.” This gives your associates or team members a way to share something positive that has happened to them or a positive outcome at work.

by watching them. You have to experience it on your own. You take a few steps and fall. You get back up, take a few more steps ... and fall again. As a child, there is never any disappointment in this process. It’s all part of the adventure and being human. Your focus is on what you did accomplish — oftentimes with an ear-to-ear smile! I submit that by adopting this attitude in your life you will have a lot of fun, become a better version of you, and ultimately succeed in whatever it is you set out to do.

A well lived life truly is about the journey. As the saying goes, “life is a marathon, not a sprint.” The journey is more important than the destination — this is where we get to experience, for ourselves, what life is all about. Having an inquisitive mind and trying different approaches until you ultimately achieve your desired results is one of the greatest

At the dinner table try asking your family members or friends this question, “So what’s the best news of your day?” or maybe, “What was the best that happened for you today?” I like these because it gets us away from the disagreements that largely manifest themselves from the opinions of others and instead centers us on more intimate conversations around the good things happening in our personal and professional lives. It gives airtime to the good news and a forum for sharing productivity and accomplishments.

So how about you? Have you taken some time off from your own news feeds? Can you see yourself finding ways to focus on the good news? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we think about and remember what the “Good News” is all about, this really will be a better than good week.

People with an attitude of exploration and fun while going through life are very creative and happy.

Once they decide on what they want to experience they know they’ll achieve their goal. It’s just a matter of time.

Each of us gets to choose how we want to live our lives and what is important to us. Make your choices worthwhile. Learn as you go. Continually expand your definition of YOU.

There is no such thing, unless you are talking about a zipper.

At the end of a long trial, when someone is convicted of a heinous crime, the prosecuting attorney invariably says that the victim’s family now has “closure.” Sure.

fraud, “swindling close friends, business associates of friends, wealthy business persons” and two former Denver Broncos into believing the investments they made to the trafficking group were going to state-licensed marijuana grow facilities, Coffman said.

The 74 defendants in the case — 62 individuals and 12 businesses — were indicted June 9, officials said. Forty-three people are in jail, and some have yet to be arrested, Coffman said.

Authorities said some of the suspects went to high school together in the metro area and were known to have played poker with each other, prompting the name of the investigation.

More than 20 law enforcement agencies worked on the investigation and prosecution, including Coffman’s office, Denver police, the Colorado Department of Revenue Criminal Tax Enforcement, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, the U.S. Department of Justice, the Denver District Attorney’s Office, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office.

David Schiller, DEA assistant special agent in charge for the Denver Field Office, spoke along with Coffman and Denver police Deputy Chief David Quiñones.

“It affects the quality of life for Colorado,” Schiller said. “The mold, the mildew, the ‘sick house syndrome’ being implemented in these homes without anyone knowing.”

“This is one organization of thousands operating in your neighborhoods,” Schiller said.

“There’s not a county in Colorado that’s safe.”

In Colorado, retail marijuana was legalized through voter approval in 2012, while pot for medical purposes was made legal by voters 12 years earlier.

How to plan a last-minute family vacation Some tips for anything from traveling abroad to taking a day trip

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

F

or families who hope to take a family vacation this summer but have put off the planning and the budgeting, there are still plenty of options. Organizing a last-minute family trip can be fun without breaking the bank, if you know what steps to follow. Here are tips from local travel and tourism experts about planning a getaway in a hurry.

Do your homework Before pulling out the credit card, make sure you’ve done thorough research on vacation deals, packages and the location of wherever you hope to go. This is not only the trick to finding great deals, but also avoiding scams, said Joy Ross, who runs a travel agency, Travel Journeys, in Castle Rock.

“There are so many scams out there,” said Ross, who has been a travel agent for 33 years.

Too often, families pay to rent someone’s home as their lodging, only to arrive and learn the home does not exist, she said.

Jean Gordon, director of the Arvada Visitors Center, said families should check ahead of leaving for a vacation and ask hotels and restaurants what specials they’re offering. Often, businesses run promotions “on the fly,” she said. Scan an attraction’s website, and never hesitate to pick up the phone and call, Gordon said.

“I just don’t think you can say it enough: Do your homework before you leave,” Gordon said.

Travel at the right time Visiting vacation destinations during the off-season can save a few dollars, as well as booking flights during periods of low travel. Many mountain towns and popular winter destinations offer summertime specials, Ross said, noting Breckenridge in particular. Resorts in Mexico or the Caribbean also offer lower prices in August and September, she said.

If flying, Ross recommends families avoid flying over the weekend.

Book flights on Tuesdays, Wednesday or Thursdays, which are the lowest days for travel and typically the cheapest.

Finally, Ross advises families to check with the tourism board for where they are traveling to see what big events — such as concerts, festivals or sporting events — are scheduled throughout the year.

Then, avoid traveling at that time

Hannah Button with Visit Golden recommends that families looking to plan lastminute vacations take advantage of local attractions. Golden, she said, has the mountain town feel while still being close to the Denver metro.

COURTESY PHOTO unless visiting for that specific reason. Big events can drive up travel and lodging prices, Ross said.

Consider a travel agent Like most travel agents, Ross said, she works in a particular niche or specialization. She focuses on family and couple vacations, and specifically beach vacations outside of the United States. As part of her job, she receives roughly 100 emails a day about discounts and special packages for her clients.

Travel agents don’t just have access to vacation packages, she said

— they know what the last-minute offers are. When families want to plan a trip in a hurry and score the latest deals, she recommends they find a travel agent specializing in the type of trip they hope to take.

Mostly, Ross said, working with a travel agent saves families time and stress.

“When I do a package I put everything together. It’s going to include everything for them. They don’t have to search,” she said.

Day trips and weekend getaways Although trips abroad are her

specialty, Ross says families needn’t go far to plan a good vacation. The perfect family trip could be right in your backyard, or just a few hours drive away.

“If it’s really last minute, you just need to get away, summer is getting long and the kids are getting bored,” Ross said, “pack up the car.”

Gordon said people in the Denver metro have a great nearby resource through the visitor centers in Arvada and nearby towns. The Arvada center alone places between 600 and 800 events on its calendar a year and has about 200 brochures on things to do in and around Arvada.

“Every weekend there is something going on. We are very festivaldriven and event-driven,” she said.

“We are positioned so well to have communities around us with great things to do as well.”

Hannah Button, the community marketing manager for Visit Golden, said a great resource for families looking to plan day trips or weekend trips are the websites for visitor centers in nearby communities.

There, families can find information about local attractions, such as the Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Coors Brewery and hotels to stay nearby.

“We always say it’s like a mountain town that’s right here in the metro area. You feel like you’re a world away but you’re only a short drive from home,” Button said of Golden. “It feels like you get an actual vacation but it’s still really close to where you might live.”

“God in Chicago” is less a song than a short story set to music, and can absolutely devastate you with its focus on two down-and-out travelers on a road trip. But my favorite is “Rescue Blues,” where Finn finds transcendence on an apartment balcony.

This album helps the listener to find the beauty in the everyday.

working with some of the country’s best artists and producers.

This is all to the good, as British rappers have some thrilling takes on the genre, and Nines is one of the most promising voices from the scene.

His debut is dark and street-wise, with searing insights and some of the best beats you’ll hear on any rap album this year.

John Mayer — “The Search for Everything” It’s easy to take artists who make consistently good music for granted, especially when they step out of the public eye for a while. And while Mayer’s break from the spotlight in 2010 was necessary, he’s fully back in pop mode, and I couldn’t be happier.

There’s nothing particularly showy about the songs on “Search for Everything.” Mayer returns to the jazz, blues, rock amalgamation he perfectly created on his third album “Continuum,” and if this one doesn’t quite match that one, it just about equals it.

“Still Feel Like Your Man” is my favorite album opener of the year, and the sweet yearning of “You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me,” might end up being my favorite closer of 2017. And everything in between hums along just beautifully.

SZA — “Ctrl” Being on the same label as Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q automatically means you have to be one of the best talents in hip-hop or R&B, and there are a mountain of expectations that go along with that.

Thankfully, on her debut album, SZA proves she is not only the equal of her peers, but one of the flagbearers for a new R&B sound that is at times funky, woozy, sexy and introspective. The sounds on the album are all encompassing, and SZA’s lyrical explorations reflect an empathetic and exploratory mind.

If we’re lucky, this is just the beginning of a long and varied career.

Delta Sonics bring the blues

s part of Englewood’s free summer concert series, the Delta Sonics — who won best blues band awards from Westword every year from 2011-16 — brought a howling set to the Englewood Amphitheater June 29. The feedback-filled guitar and piercing harmonica dominated their sound, which included a cover of Chuck Berry’s thumping 1955 hit “Maybellene.” About 200 turned out at the event, which included an effort by the city to get the word out on its new energy conservation plan, called Energy Efficient Englewood, or E3 for short. To learn more about the plan, go to Englewoodco.gov/Energy-Efficient PHOTOS BY ELLIS ARNOLD

Bob Pellegrino, guitarist for the Delta Sonics, smiles at the crowd during a guitar solo.

Jeremiah Wilkes, 29, hangs out at the concert with his dog Baloo, whom he named after “The Jungle Book” character because “He looked like a big bear when I got him.” An Englewood resident, Wilkes said he’s been to a few of the concerts over the years.

Kids play on the stairs a few steps away from the concert stage. The mother, Regina Sekyra, 41, said it’s the third year she’s come to the concerts and her third year as an Englewood resident. Simon and Jack, her 6-year-old sons, are in black and yellow, respectively. She brought her neighbor’s 4-year-old daughter Lively in the purple.

Carol Reinhardt, 72, dances to the music at the concert. Reinhardt lives in Denver’s Washington Park neighborhood, but said she’s A P been coming to Englewood’s concerts “for years and years.” She said the Delta Sonics are N one of her favorite bands.

Young driver gets a thrill from drag racing

Ryider Olsen Jarman, 6, waits in the staging lanes for his turn to move to the starting line during the June 23-25 National Hot Rod Division 5 Junior Drag Racing event at Bandimere Speedway. The Littleton boy finished in second place in his age division in two of the three races he competed in during the weekend of junior dragster racing.

Littleton boy competes in junior races at Bandimere Speedway

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ryder Olsen Jarman tightened his safety straps as he prepared to guide his car down the track during the National Hot Rod Association Division 5 Junior Dragster races at Bandimere Speedway.

“My brother started racing, it looked like fun, so I wanted to do it too,” the 6-year-old Littleton

resident said June 23. “Drag racing is very, very fun. The most fun is racing and trying to beat other kids to the finish line so you can get to the finals and win the trophy.”

The junior dragsters race from a standing start to the finish line an eighth of a mile down the track. Of course the idea is get to push the car at top speed to get to the finish line as fast as possible, and Jarman said he likes going fast.

“It is exciting to be going fast,” the boy said. “I go faster this year than I did last year. This year I can be going about 40 miles an hour when I cross the finish line. That is exciting and it is really fun to go that fast. It is even more fun if

my car goes across the finish line ahead of the other racer.”

The junior drag racing event at Bandimere lasted three days, with each day using a different racing format. All races use a single-elimination format which means the winner advances and the racing is over for the other driver.

Jarman got his wish to go fast and win races the first day of competition as he won four of five races to earn runner-up honors in the 6- and 7-year-old age division.

He had a good day June 24 in the divisional championship races.

He ended the race day for three SEE RACING, P27

Colorado students really get into the games A participation survey released in June shows a rise in the number of student-athletes in Colorado high schools.

During the 2016-17 school year, 60.3 percent of students enrolled at high schools that were members of the Colorado High School OVERTIME Activities Association took part in sports. That’s 139,969 teenagers who could call themselves student-athletes, according to figures released by CHSAA. Those figures are the highest for Colorado since the yearly survey was Jim Benton started following the 198889 season. There were 138,600 student athletes in 2015-16, or 58.4 percent of students enrolled.

Additional classifications were added in girls golf, girls swimming and girls tennis last season, which helped the growth with an additional 1,682 students participating.

There’s been talk of the growing popularity of boys lacrosse, but there were actually 87 fewer boys who played lacrosse last spring than in 2016. However, the Adams 12 Five Star district did not field lacrosse teams, forcing athletes there to play elsewhere or not play at all.

And there were 158 fewer athletes who donned football uniforms in 2016 compared to the 2015 season. Still, football remained the largest participatory sport, with 16,686 students suiting up. Combined, boys and girls basketball had 16,261 participants.

There were several sports showing minimal increases and decreases, which is normal from year-to-year. Boys hockey showed one of the largest increases, with 165 more participants, partially due to the addition of two new teams.

“Colorado has always had strong participation numbers, reflecting the importance of the values you learn by participating in a community-based program,” CSHAA Commissioner Paul Angelico said in a news release. “These students are learning to be part of something bigger than themselves, about how the name on the front of the jersey is more important than the name on the back.”

A chip on his shoulder Former Legend High School basketball player Derrick White had to prove he could be a standout college basketball player and it appears he will have to do it again in the National Basketball Association.

White, a 2014 Legend graduate, didn’t receive any Division I scholarship offers, so he accepted a partial scholarship to Division II University of Colorado Colorado Springs, where he played for three seasons, became an All-American and holds UCCS career records for assists and steals and is second in points.

He transferred to CU, played one season, SEE BENTON, P27

Kupcho dominates at Lone Tree golf tourney Westminster athlete getting ready for second trip to U.S. Women’s Open

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jennifer Kupcho tuned up for her second trip to the U.S Women’s Open Golf Championship with another romp in the Colorado Women’s Golf Association’s Stroke Play Championship.

Kupcho, the 20-year-old from Westminster who just completed her sophomore season at Wake Forest, didn’t make the cut in the 2016 U.S. Open. She hopes to stick around for four rounds at this year’s tournament, which will be held July 13-16 at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. She claims she could have played better but walked off with her third consecutive CWGA Stroke Play title with 13-shot victory in the 54-hole tournament that was held June 19-21 at the Lone Tree Golf Club.

“I just wanted to come out and play good competition and then go to the big tournament,” she said. “I definitely took more chances in this kind of tournament but just came out and played my game.”

Kupcho, a two-time Class 4A state champion at Jefferson Academy, left

all the golfers in the championship flight scrambling for runner-up honors as she became the first women in the past 20 years and the fifth player in 70 years of the tournament to win three consecutive titles.

And, none of her three Stroke Play victories have been close as she has won by 21, 19 and 13 strokes, so she wasn’t under much pressure from other golfers.

“It’s not that hard because all my high school career, that’s how it was,” added Kupcho who is the 11thranked women amateur golfer in the world. “I’m used to it and just go out and focus on my own game.”

Kupcho had seven birdies and two bogeys as she wrapped up the championship on June 21 with final round of 5-under-par 67 to go along with a 1-under-71 and a par 72 for a 54-hole total of 210.

In those three days she made 13 birdies, 34 pars and seven bogeys.

She played the par 5 holes in -6 and the par 3s in -2, but was 2-over on the par 4 holes.

So maybe that’s why she insists she could have played better.

“I played the best that I could,” she said. “I was just playing my game, not focusing on the field. I played good in the final round but definitely could have played better the first two days. I struggled on the greens. A win is a win. But I definitely could have played better. I could have

made more putts so that is something to work on.”

Kupcho was the runner-up at last month’s NCAA Division I championships and set a Wake Forest record with a season scoring average of 70.61.

Longmont’s Erin Sargent, a Silver Creek graduate and University of Wyoming sophomore-to-be, tied for second place with her Cowboys teammate Megan Knadler of Phoenix with 3-round totals of 7-over-par 223.

Mary Weinstein of Highlands Ranch, the 2016 Class 5A state champion at Regis Jesuit, scrambled to a fourth-place finish after finishing with a final round of 2-under par 70 by going 4-under on the back nine.

Her score on the final 18 holes came after a 73 and 81 in the first two rounds.

“The second round was awful,” said Weinstein, who will be a sophomore at Regis University. “It was definitely one of those days. If you look on the course you will see probably 50 bunkers and I went in probably 49 of them (in the second round). And my putting was just not there.

“I’ve been putting pretty rough the past couple tournaments, so I went to see some professionals to fix my putting. I changed two days before the tournament started and started putting well on the first day, hit a big

Jennifer Kupcho of Westminster said she could have played better but she won the Colorado Women’s Golf Association Stroke Play Championship by 13 shots after a final round of 5-under-par 67 on June 21 at Lone Tree Golf Club.

JIM BENTON roadblock on the second day but got it back for the final round.”

Alexis Chan, a 2017 Rock Canyon graduate, won the second flight at 236 while Arvada’s Sue Hartwell captured the third flight by six strokes.

Jean Miller of Arvada won by a stroke in the fourth flight.

opponents to get to the finals where he raced Lily Vehar of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The Wyoming driver won the race.

Jarman was among about 150 drivers competing in the three-day National Hot Rod Association Division 5 Junior Drag Racing Series held June 23-25 at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison.

Racers from five states took part in the three-day event and each driver got to race each day.

Junior dragster is a program created by the National Hot Rod Association in 1992 to provide a way for boys and girls to experience drag racing.

The cars kids drive are half-scale models of the NHRA top fuel dragsters.

The youth’s cars are powered by singlecylinder engines.

The program is divided into five age

divisions to accommodate drivers 5 to 18 years old.

The 5-year-olds don’t race. They make test runs down the eighth-mile dragstrips. The racing divisions are 6- to 7 -year-olds, 8- to 9-year-olds, 10- to 12-year-0lds and 13- to 17-year-olds.

The cars driven by the youngest competitors must use an out-of-thecrate Briggs and Stratton lawn mower engine. The cars launch off the starting line and if a car is going faster than 40 mph crossing the finish line an eighth of a mile away, the driver is disqualified.

The rules allow older age division cars to use larger engines but the engines must be single-cylinder so those junior dragsters are powered by motorcycle or personal watercraft engines. The rules also set maximum speeds for each age group and the speed limit increases for older drivers. The fastest speed allowed in junior dragster racing is 85 mph for the 16- and 17-yearold drivers.

Littleton resident Ryder Olsen Jarman guides his junior dragster down the track during the June 23-25 National Hot Rod Division 5 Junior Drag Racing event at Bandimere Speedway. This is the second year Jarman has driven a junior dragster and he took second place in two of the three 6- and 7-year-old age division races he entered during the three-day event.

led the Buffs in scoring with an 18.1 average and was a first-team All-Pac 12 selection.

The guard was the 29th pick in the June 22 first round of the NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs.

But several draft analysts say White only has a modest NBA ceiling. Still, he has demonstrated the talent and quick release to get off shots and has the good basketball sense and defensive ability that can help despite his lack of the athleticism of many NBA players.

As a 6-foot senior at Legend, White averaged 17.1 points and 3.1 assists but he grew in size and ability. He was measured at 6-5 prior to the NBA draft.

“You have your doubters, you just put a little chip on your shoulder,” he said in a post-draft conference call. “It was humbling at times but it made me work harder just to keep that chip on my shoulder to continue to never be satisfied.”

New ThunderRidge coach ThunderRidge will have its third boys lacrosse coach in the past four seasons next spring.

Athletic Director Sean Patterson announced that Marko White, who coached the past two seasons at Leon High in Tallahassee, Florida, has been tabbed as the new Grizzlies’ coach.

Four in the semifinals There were four former area high school golfers who made the semifinals of the Colorado Golf Association Match Play held June 19-23 at The Club at Ravenna in the Roxborough area.

University of Denver golfer Chris Korte, a 2014 Regis Jesuit graduate playing out of the Lone Tree Golf Club, defeated Kyle Pearson, 5 and 3, to win the title on June 23.

Pearson was last year’s Class 5A champion from Highlands Ranch and will play at Colorado Mesa University.

Korte recorded a 3-and-1 semifinal victory over Colorado State golfer Jake Staiano, who played high school golf at Valor Christian.

Pearson topped Kyler Dunkle in 21 holes in the semifinals. Dunkle was the 2013 state champion at Douglas County High. He played at Colorado State but has transferred to the University of Utah.

Soccer star honored ThunderRidge junior Shae Holmes, a United States U18 national team defender who played forward in high school, has been named the Gatorade Colorado Girls Soccer Player of the Year.

Holmes scored 20 goals and had seven assists for the Grizzlies during the 2017 season.

Police blocked off northbound Santa Fe at Iowa Avenue until 9 a.m., and at noon the car still sat at the intersection, its passenger side smashed in, as crime scene investigators combed the area.

Both Littleton and Englewood police referred all inquiries to Denver.

Archer said police do not believe the incident is related to a suspect who hit a Littleton officer with an allegedly stolen car outside a dollar store off Belleview Avenue earlier in the week.

The names of the suspects had not been released as of the afternoon of June 30. No description was released of the two suspects who remained at large.

The public hearing shall be held before the Town Board of Trustees on July 18, 2017 at 6:00 PM at the Inn at Hudson Gardens, 6115 South Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, CO 80120, or as soon as possible thereafter as the agenda of the Town Board of Trustees permits, or at a place otherwise specified by the Town Clerk.

ALL INTERESTED PERSONS MAY ATTEND. PETITION FOR ANNEXATION WILD PLUM ANNEXATION

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE TOWN OF COLUMBINE VALLEY, COLORADO:

The undersigned (the “Petitioner”), being the owner of more than fifty percent (50%) of the property proposed to be annexed, exclusive of public streets and alleys, which property is described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Property”), hereby petitions (this “Petition”) the Town Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Town of Columbine Valley, Colorado (the “Town”), for annexation of the Property in accordance with the provisions of Title 31, Article 12, Part 1, C.R.S., as amended, and section 30(1)(b) of article II of the state constitution. In support of this Petition, Petitioner states the following: It is desirable and necessary that the Property be annexed to the Town. The condition set forth in section 30(1)(b) of article II of the state constitution has been met, the provisions of section 30 of article II of the state constitution have been complied with, and the requirements of Sections 31-12-104, and 31-12-105, C.R.S., exist or have been met in that: Not less than one-sixth (1/6) of the perimeter of the Property is contiguous with the existing boundaries of the Town. Contiguity with the Town is not established by use of any boundary: of an area previously annexed to the Town that, at the time of its annexation, was not contiguous at any point with the boundary of the Town, was not otherwise in compliance with Section 31 12 104(1)(a), C.R.S., and was located more than three (3) miles from the nearest boundary of the Town (“Non-Contiguous Area”); or of territory subsequently annexed directly to, or indirectly connected through subsequent annexations to, a Non-Contiguous Area. A community of interest exists between the Property and the Town. The Property is urban or will be urbanized in the near future. The Property is integrated or is capable of being integrated with the Town. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, no land held in identical ownership, whether consisting of one tract or parcel of real estate or two or more contiguous tracts or parcels of real estate: has been divided into separate parts or parcels without the written consent of the landowners thereof unless such tracts or parcels are separated by a dedicated street, road or other public way; or comprising twenty acres or more (which, together with the buildings and improvements situated thereon, has a valuation for assessment in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) for ad valorem tax purposes for the year next preceding the annexation) is included without the written consent of the landowners.

The Property is not presently a part of any incorporated Town; no proceedings have been commenced for incorporation or annexation of part or all of the Property to another municipality; nor has any election for annexation of the Property or substantially the same territory to the Town been held within the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the filing of this Petition. Annexation of the Property will not result in the detachment of area from any school district and the attachment of the same to another school district.

Except to the extent necessary to avoid dividing parcels within the Property held in identical ownership, at least fifty percent (50%) of which are within the three (3) mile limit, annexation of the Property will not have the effect of extending a municipal boundary more than three (3) miles in any direction from any point of the Town boundary in any one year. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, if a portion of a platted street or alley is annexed, the entire width of said street or alley is included, and annexation of the Property will not result in the denial of reasonable access to any landowner, owner of an easement, or owner of a franchise adjoining a platted street or alley which has been annexed by the Town but is not bounded on both sides by the Town. Petitioner comprises more than fifty percent (50%) of the landowners in the Property and owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the

any direction from any point of the Town boundary in any one year. In establishing the boundaries of the Property, if a portion of a platted street or alley is annexed, the entire width of said street or alley is included, and annexation of the Property will not result in the denial of reasonable access to any landowner, owner of an easement, or owner of a franchise adjoining a platted street or alley which has been annexed by the Town but is not bounded on both sides by the Town. Petitioner comprises more than fifty percent (50%) of the landowners in the Property and owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the Property, excluding public streets and alleys and any land owned by the Town. The legal description of the land owned by the Petitioner is set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. The mailing address of the Petitioner and the date of signing of the Petitioner’s signature are shown on this Petition. Attached to this Petition as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by this reference is the Affidavit of the Circulator of this Petition affirming that each signature hereon is the signature of the person whose name it purports to be. Accompanying this Petition are four (4) copies of an annexation map (“Annexation Map”) containing the following information: A written legal description of the boundaries of the Property; A map showing the boundary of the Property; Within the annexation boundary map, a showing of the location of each ownership tract in unplatted land and, if part or all of the area is platted, the boundaries and the plat numbers of plots or of lots and blocks; and Next to the boundary of the Property, a drawing of the contiguous boundary of the Town and the contiguous boundary of any other municipality abutting the Property. In connection with the processing of this Petition, Petitioner requests that the Town institute the procedure to, concurrently with processing annexation of the Property, as applicable: Subdivide the Property in accordance with the Final Plat for the Wild Plum Planned Development and applicable provisions of the Town’s Land Use Regulations; Zone the Property in accordance with Section 31-12–115, C.R.S., the Final Development Plan for Wild Plum, and applicable provisions of the Town’s Land Use Regulations; and Update the Town’s three mile plan for the Property in accordance with Section 31 12 105(1)(e)(I), C.R.S. Petitioner has filed this Petition subject to, and Petitioner’s consent to annexation of the Property to the Town is conditioned upon satisfaction of, the following conditions, any one or more of which may be waived

by Petitioner in Petitioner’s sole discretion: Prior to recording of the Annexation Map, the Town Board shall have approved: The Final Plat for the Wild Plum Planned Development; The Final Development Plan for the Wild Plum Planned Development; and The Construction Management Plan for the Wild Plum Planned Development (collectively, the “Plan Approvals”). Petitioner reserves the sole, exclusive and unilateral right to withdraw this Petition by so notifying the Clerk of the Town in writing at any point prior to the later to occur of: (i) the latest final, non appealable approval of the final ordinance(s), resolutions and/or other final approval(s) approving the Plan Approvals, or (ii) final, non appealable resolution of any “Legal Challenge” (defined in paragraph 9 below). Prior to expiration of the period described in the foregoing subparagraph (b) without Petitioner having withdrawn the Petition, neither Petitioner nor the Town shall cause or permit the occurrence of the conditions to effectiveness of the annexation as set forth in Section 31-12-113(2)(b), C.R.S. For purposes of this Petition, “Legal Challenge” means either: (i) any third party commences any legal proceeding or other action that directly or indirectly challenges the Town’s annexation of the Property, the Plan Approvals, or any of the Town’s resolutions or ordinances approving any of the foregoing; or (ii) any third party submits a petition for a referendum seeking to reverse or nullify any of such Town approvals. Upon annexation of the Property becoming effective, the Property shall become subject to the Town’s ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of the Town, except for general property taxes of the Town, which shall become effective on January 1 of the next succeeding year following the date on which annexation of the Property becomes legally effective.

Except for the terms and conditions of this Petition, which terms and conditions Petitioner expressly approves and therefore do not constitute an imposition of additional terms and conditions within the meaning of Sections 31-12107(4), 110(2), 111 or 112(1), C.R.S., Petitioner requests that no additional terms and conditions be imposed upon annexation of the Property to the Town. WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the Town approve the annexation of the Property pursuant to the provisions of Sections 31-12-101, et seq., C.R.S., as amended.

Petitioner’s Address: 6161 S. Syracuse Way, #200, Greenwood Village, CO 80111. Is Petitioner a resident of the Property?: No.

You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Jewish settlement history explored in Englewood talk Cherry Hills Village author looks at history going back to Spain, Portugal

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“What is it with DNA? People are looking for a connection/belonging, a sense of identity” said Corinne Joy Brown of Cherry Hills Village as she spoke about thousands of descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jews during a recent presentation at the Englewood Public Library.

She said she was the daughter of European Jews who escaped the Holocaust.

With the growing popularity of DNA analysis, a number of Western and Southwestern folks who knew there was a long family history that traced back to Spain or Portugal have learned they are descendants of the Sephardic Jews who were expelled

SCHOOLS FROM PAGE 1

Under Ewert’s leadership, Englewood schools improved student achievement, designed a new model for instruction and played a role in Englewood residents passing a $50 million bond for construction of a new high school campus that now also houses both the city’s middle schools.

Rubin’s era has built on that progress, welcoming a program for instructional coaches to help teachers improve and pushing a staunch student-first philosophy.

“Our focus is, how (is something) making it better for kids? How is it making it better for their experience and achievement?” said Rubin, who started as superintendent July 1, 2015. “If we can’t track something to that, then why are we spending money on it?”

Rubin said the attitude of supporting kids — Englewood passed a bond in November that set up construction for the preschool and elementaries — is built into the loyalty and affinity residents have for their city, and that it’s what sets it apart from other school districts.

“This goes back to investment in Englewood as a whole community,” Rubin said. “You see this with the city (government), where they’re working to bring in vibrant businesses and invest in parks and recreation — they keep our image as a small town even though we’re in the urban corridor.”

Even the parents — whether it’s volunteering, or the parent-teacher organization raising money — help the district do better, said Callan Clark, executive director of student services.

And it takes a while to count the

from those countries prior to and around 1500.

In 1492, Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand decreed that Spain was a Catholic nation and those Jews who stayed had to convert, although many continued to observe their Jewish roots secretly — and were tortured and burned if discovered. Many fled to France, northern Italy, Brown Portugal, Greece, Morocco and Turkey, and sought passage on ships where they were sometimes robbed and thrown overboard.

“The Inquisition kept impeccable records” of public burnings and other horrors, Brown said. So it is possible to research these for ancestors.

As these people traveled to the Americas, they met the same religious persecution and continued to worship secretly, as customs such a candlelit Sabbath dinner and not eating pork were quietly observed when possible

over the following hundreds of years.

“Anthropologists estimate that about 250,000 of these descendants live in the American Southwest,” Brown added.

She spoke of a museum class she conducted where people from all over Colorado told family stories. She recommended cryptojews.com as a resource for those interested. (The Society of Crypto-Judaic Studies.)

Brown’s year-old novel, “Hidden Star,” which has a sequel in the works, was written based on stories from sources she spoke with throughout the area.

It is set in the fictional small town of Estrella in northern New Mexico’s Rio Arriba County and focuses on a particular home, lovingly built from adobe in 1809 by Rebeca Morales and Moises Alejandro Martinez — a home that was handed down through generations, eventually to Rachel Ortega, who inherited it when her parents were killed in an accident. She lives in it with two sons and an unreliable husband and is a Catholic, but not as devout as others in Estrella.

The house is destined for demolition so the highway can be widened and a mysterious box is found in a secret hiding place. Its contents slowly lead Rachel to discover her family history and reconnect with Judaism — with help from the community, including the parish priest, a friendly sheriff ’s deputy, his interesting mother and others …

Brown also published “MacGregor’s Lantern,” a story of cattle barons and “Sanctuary Ranch,” co-written with Junior Michael Ray, as well as a children’s book, “Watoosi: The Horse That Wished He Wasn’t.” She is past president of the Denver Women’s Press Club, past chairperson of the Mizel Museum of Judaica and a charter member of Women Writing the West. For the past 40 years, she has been co-owner of International Design Center in Highlands Ranch.

She is a frequent speaker on Crypto-Jewish history. (corinnejoybrown.com)

ways it’s doing better.

In 2011, Englewood’s combined four-year rate was 44.4 percent, according to the district website. The overall rate for high school students across Colorado was 78.9 percent in 2016, according to the state. The gap between Englewood’s schools and the statewide rate is largely due to the district housing an alternative school for students who struggle.

improvement, McMorris said. They meet with teachers and set plans for how to improve. It’s a product of “the experience of some of our administrators who have worked in other districts and keeping up with latest research in education,” McMorris said.

Englewood is also a leader in STEM education. Starting this summer, STEM labs will be built in all the district’s elementary schools, which will make it one of the only districts in the country to offer STEM education from kindergarten to 12th grade, McMorris said.

Currently, both high schools and the middle schools have STEM programming.

New buildings This summer, Clayton Elementary School and Charles Hay World School are being rebuilt — construction is just getting underway, said Julie McMorris, spokeswoman for the district.

Cherrelyn and William E. Bishop elementary schools will be rebuilt starting in summer and winter 2018, respectively, and the Early Child Education at Maddox preschool will be rebuilt this fall. Englewood’s new campus for grades 7-12 houses Englewood High School, the middle school Englewood Leadership Academy and Englewood Middle School. The old Englewood middle school site was renovated to house Colorado’s Finest School of Choice, the district’s alternative high school for students up to 21 years of age.

Graduation on the rise Graduation rates are continuing on a general upward trend after Englewood’s combined rate between two schools jumped 11.5 percentage points from 2012 to 2013.

Englewood High School’s rate increased 7.2 percentage points from 68.4 percent in 2015 to 75.6 in 2016, for the percentage of students graduating within four years. Colorado’s Finest, an alternative school that takes students from across the metro area who may struggle at other schools, increased its four-year graduation rate from 20.5 percent to 23.5 percent from 2015 to 2016. That number was 16.9 percent in 2012.

The school in 2016 had a rate of 56.4 percent for those graduating or getting a GED within seven years, up from 53.3 percent in 2015. It serves students up to age 21.

The 2016 combined four-year rate for the two schools was 53.8 percent, up 6.9 percentage points from 2015.

More programs keep students excited EHS and Colorado’s Finest began new programs in 2015 that are improving attendance and graduation rates, McMorris said.

EHS began a culinary arts and hospitality program, and the alternative school started a cosmetology program, which serves real-life public customers. Other districts in the area send students to Englewood for that program, McMorris said.

The alternative school also has an audio engineering program for recording and producing music. Students at that school will have a hand in designing and building a greenhouse this summer or early fall as part of the sustainable agriculture and green energy (SAGE) program.

Different philosophy Rubin said the district’s willingness to be self-critical and have healthy debates plays a role in its success.

“Being willing to examine everything you do, and not being afraid of what you find, good, bad or ugly ... are you reflecting, making it better?,” Rubin said. “If a hard conversation leads to something better for kids, I’m all for having that conversation.

“Nobody wants a bunch of yesmen around,” she added.

In a similar vein, the district added “instructional coaches” in 2015-2016 who observe teachers and offer them help in areas that need

Looking forward Rubin said the district was lucky because voters passed a mill levy and bond in November, but “any other year, we’re making cuts like crazy.”

“Next year, we’ll be making cuts again. Just today, the revenue forecast was lower than we thought.

With (state law), no one knows what they’re gonna get and when,” Rubin said. “But generally speaking, we’re stable (in enrollment).” Enrollment numbers influence how much funding a district has.

“Plus, we run lean and mean; look at our office. Have you been in our bathroom?” she laughed.

“We’re not eating steak lunches over here,” Rubin added.

Clark said it’s partly about efficiency.

“Our board is pretty fiscally responsible, and so we keep a reserve in a rainy day,” she said.

Rubin said the district is trying to build a system that reflects the values “of being in a small-town place where you can raise a family.”

“These kids are worth it, and our community is worth it,” Rubin said.
