Site of apartments under construction Mixed-use development along Acoma seen as boost for area

While heavy equipment continued the real work, about a dozen individuals tossed dirt with shovels at the Sept. 15 official groundbreaking for construction of the mixed-use Acoma Lofts project in downtown Englewood.

“Starting construction has been a long time coming as we began working on this project about three and half years ago,” Troy Gladwell of developer Medici Communities said. “We are doing the construction in phases to keep as much parking open as possible. The construction of the first building is in the south end of the Acoma parking lot. We expect the building to be completed in about a year.”

Medici proposes to develop 1.8 acres, purchased primarily from the Englewood Urban Renewal Authority, that includes the vacant lot on the southwest corner of South Broadway and Englewood Parkway as well as the land

While work on an expansion of C-470 between I-25 and Kipling Parkway is set to start early next month, a group of Highlands Ranch residents that has sued over the project wants construction to halt until the lawsuit is settled.

The Highlands Ranch Neighborhood Coalition filed suit against the Colorado Department of Transportation in federal court in May, also naming CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhat and Federal Highway Administration Colorado Division Administrator John Cater as defendants, alleging that flawed traffic noise data was used in the project’s approval process.

The coalition alleges that CDOT and the FHWA violated the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 as well as federal noise regulations and filed a motion last month asking the court to postpone work until after the lawsuit is heard because any change to the traffic conditions along the corridor will make it impossible to collect proper noise data.

Coalition President Carter Sales, who lives along the south side of C-470 in between University and Colorado boulevards, said he and his neighbors want sound walls between the freeway and their homes, something CDOT and FHWA determined was unnecessary.

Sales says CDOT did not collect the required number of long-term noise samples during the public comment period last year. He said that he filed the suit after being rebuffed by the agency when he filed administrative complaints last year.

HELLO

...

My Name Is

A glimpse of the people in our community

SPENCER HOVANETZ Business owner, mountain lover About me My wife, Andrea, and I just opened a Christian Brothers Automotive franchise west of Littleton. We are new to the automotive repair industry but are fortunate to have employees with a tremendous amount of experience.

Before the shop I was a homebuilding executive for about 15 years, Prior to that I served in the Coast Guard from 1993 to 1998 as a search and rescue coxswain and a boarding officer. I was stationed in Georgia and Louisiana and did a lot of temporary duty in south Texas with customs and border patrol.

Making a difference We didn’t get into it just to fix automobiles. That’s what we’re doing, obviously, but Christian Brothers gives us an opportunity to make a positive impact in our community. For example, Christian Brothers always does a national service day, where they open their shops up on a weekend and serve those in need.

My background I was born in Ohio but moved to Louisiana and went to high school and college there. I met Andrea in college. She was born in California and grew up in Louisiana.

After that, we moved around with the Coast Guard.

We’ve been in the Denver area for about 15 months. Prior to that, we lived in Woodland Park for about four years.

Having fun If you look to the west, that’s what brought us out here. We do lots of things in the mountains — hiking four-wheeling, skiing, mountain biking, you name it. We strive to be up there as often as we can.

Ranch High School in 2010 and grew so large that it moved to Coors Field last year, where nearly 3,000 participants raised over $200,000.

The free event will again be held at Coors Field, at 1663 Park Avenue West in downtown Denver. Gates will open at 8:30 a.m. for registration and activities. The walk will be from 10 a.m. to noon.

Caution urged about voter registration calls State and county election officials have received numerous complaints from Colorado voters concerned about phone calls asking for personal and sensitive information.

During the automated calls, voters are told their registration is incorrect and requires updating before they can receive a ballot for the November election. Both Democrats and Republicans who have received the calls told the Colorado Secretary of State’s office or their county clerk that their registrations are current, according to a media release from Douglas County.

The calls are from an organization called “Go Vote CO” or “Go Vote Colorado,” individuals have reported.

Secretary of State Wayne Williams reminds Colorado residents not to disclose sensitive personal information, including month and day of birth, driver’s license or state-issued ID numbers, or Social Security numbers to any person or organization they do not know and trust. The Secretary of State’s office does not contact individual voters regarding voter registration issues except to respond to inquiries initiated by individual voters.

Anyone with information concerning the individuals or organization responsible for conducting phone calls as “Go Vote Colorado” or “Go Vote CO” is asked to contact Elections Division legal analyst Chris Amero at 303-8942200 ext. 6389 or chris.amero@sos. state.co.us.

Faith-based Cadence serves the military Englewood is headquarters for worldwide outreach program

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The quiet appearance of the Cadence brick building just off Broadway in Englewood does nothing to indicate the facility houses a 61-year-old faith-based agency with a focus of reaching out to members of the military services and their families around the world.

Englewood resident David Schroeder is president of Cadence and he took time to talk about the organization and what they do.

Just what is Cadence?

We are a mission agency with more than 200 staff members stationed at about 50 military bases around the world.

We raise about $9 million a year to be able to bring a touch of home and share the Gospel and our lives with military men and women and their families.

How does Cadence reach the military?

Our primary way we reach out is through our open home ministries. We go to a military installation, find a large, adequate home we either buy or rent.

Then a family that raises its own financial support moves in and opens their home to the members of the military and their families.

We feel this is very effective way to allow the members of the military to get off the base or off the ship and spend time in a warm, welcoming home environment.

What is an open home ministry?

We call our open home ministries hospitality houses. We know that many young men and women now in the military didn’t experience a solid home environment. So our families welcome the military men and women as family members. There are home-cooked meals and times to relax away from the base or

Military personnel help themselves to a home-cooked meal in a Cadence hospitality house. The location of the picture wasn’t identified, but Cadence officials said it is typical of the ministry in about 50 hospitality houses located adjacent to military facilities around the world. Courtesy photo the ship. Some even can bunk with our families overnight. Our families include the military men and women in all kinds of family activities including doing the dishes and playing volleyball in the back yard. All this is done as a Christian outreach. The Bible says let the testimonies about the Gospel be lived as well as spoken.

Talk about the history of Cadence Cadence, like a lot of ministries, was born out of World War II. Our founder, Jesse Miller, went through the Bataan Death March. He swore to do something for members of the military service if he survived and the result was he helped found Cadence, which originally was called Overseas Christian Servicemen’s Centers. Dick Patty, my wife Joyce’s dad, was one of the first members who helped found our organization. Joyce grew up in the ministry and, when we met in Bible college, I had never heard of it. We became a couple, OSCS was working to reach out to the 100,000 children of military personnel in Europe, and my future

Reynolds Landing sees improvements Dedication ceremony notes upgrades to 10-acre park

More parking The parking lot at Reynolds Landing has roughly doubled in size to 87 spaces.

Staff report

More space for gathering Reynolds Landing originally had just one picnic area. There is now a large covered pavilion and two picnic spaces.

The improvements at Reynolds Landing were dedicated on Sept. 15. The park, which is located along the Mary Carter Greenway trail just north of Breckenridge Brewery, opened in June 2009 as a 10-acre park with a small picnic area and access to boat launches along the South Platte River.

It was named for former Littleton Mayor and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District board member Dennis Reynolds.

Reynolds said that he is honored to have his name on a commerative stone at the park, but stressed that the park belongs to the community.

“Parks are very important to the life of the community and I think Littleton has demonstrated that,” he said.

Here’s what to expect at the updated park after the $1.5 million renovation.

More plants Improved landscaping, with trees, shrubs and new grass, along with an irrigation system, are part of the updates.

More room for play A nature-themed play area for kids has also been added.

Year-round restrooms While the original park had access to a seasonal outhouse along the trail, a temperature-controlled building housing bathrooms is now open.

Better connections A new paved trail loop connects the park to the Mary Carter Greenway trail.

wife and I were part of a musical group that went to Europe for four summers.

During those trips, Joyce and I fell in love, and I fell in love with the military and the Christian outreach to military personnel and their families.

Are the hospitality houses all alike?

If you visit a hospitality house, there might be 20 people or 100 people there that evening. At some locations like outside a training base, you will find primarily young single men and women.

However, at some of the other hospitality houses, you will find a mixture of military personnel and their families. We want to help all military personnel and their families. We have a separate ministry reaching out to the children of military families. We have hospitality houses near overseas bases because the military personnel are away from home and their culture. But we also have hospitality houses near bases in the United States and the mission is the same, as they seek to minister to our military personnel and their families.

This Englewood building on Jefferson Avenue is headquarters of Cadence.

We love military personnel and their families and our ministry is very fruitful, as we seek to help those who are interested connect with God and the spiritual side of their lives.

My wife grew up in Englewood and she and I have made a number of trips to Europe and Asia. All four of our boys went through Englewood schools and we have been able to take them with us on several of our overseas trips.

Most of the time I am in the office handling the duties of Cadence president because we know our mission is important and plans are to keep it going. But we also want to witness to the world. We have a training center in Thailand for our people who then reach out to the people of that country. We also have a ministry to members of the military of both Thailand and Cambodia and we have found they are eager to hear our message and learn about our faith.

Waste roundup is time well spent for residents Drop-off numbers set record for annual event

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cars waited in line to drop off materials and electronics at the Sept. 17 Household Hazardous Waste Roundup at the Englewood ServiCenter.

The two-weekend event provided Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan residents an opportunity to properly get rid of hard-toproperly-dispose-of household materials like car batteries, lawn chemicals and oil-based paint.

The roundup also offered the opportunity to recycle items like computers, printers, fax machines, desktop copiers, inkjet and toner cartridges and cell phones free of charge. Computer monitors and TV sets were also accepted for a $20 fee per television or computer monitor.

Harold Stitt, Englewood senior planner, was helping with checkin.

“This is the second Saturday for the event and we had 180 vehicles check in last week,” he said. “The traffic today has been pretty steady so I expect we will have as many or more vehicles check in today.”

Stitt explained vehicles were classified as those just dropping off electronics and those dropping off electronics and household hazardous waste.

“The count for Sept. 10 was 84 vehicles dropping off just electronics and 81 vehicles dropping off both types of waste for a total of 175 vehicles total that day,” he said. “On Sept. 17, we had 123 vehicles dropping off electronics and 171 dropping off both types of waste for a total of 294 vehicles served.”

“I had a lot of big, awful stuff in the garage and, until now, no way to get rid of it because it couldn’t be put in the trash,” she said. “It is a wonderful service to resident and it is good for our environment.”

Englewood resident Dan Rogers agreed.

“I really appreciate the city providing this service to our community,” he said.

Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan work together to put on the event. Stitt and volunteers from Littleton and the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission staffed the event.

ITT Tech students weigh options after closure Local community colleges offer transfer information to students of closed for-profit college

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Thomas Westbrook had a feeling something was wrong at ITT Technical Institute earlier this year.

“A few of us had an inkling something was fishy because they stopped taking new students in,” the Westminster resident said.

He said school staff would get defensive when asked if there were problems.

Westbrook was one quarter shy of earning an associate’s degree in network systems administration at ITT Tech’s Westminster campus, one of two Denver-area campuses of the for-profit college that closed on Sept. 6 after being barred by the Department of Education from accepting federal student aid and loans in August.

About 430 students attended ITT Tech in the area, mostly at a campus in Aurora.

Nationally, more than 40,000 students attended the school at its 130 campuses.

ITT Tech could not be reached for comment. The school’s website does not list a phone number at which officials can be contacted, and a phone number that previously was promoted as a way to contact

ITT TECH CLOSES AFTER FEDERAL AID REVOKED

WHERE TO TURN?

ITT Technical Institute closed its doors on Sept.

6 after it was barred by the U.S. Department of Education from accepting federal aid and loans in August.

The Colorado Community College System has reached out to former ITT Tech students to inform them of their options for continuing their education at a community college.

More information about enrolling in a community college can be found at www.coloradocommunity colleges.com/go

The DOE took steps after ITT Tech’s accreditor, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, ruled that the for-profit college is not in compliance with its accreditation criteria.

the school no longer was in service.

Since the shutdown, the Colorado Community College System has taken steps to inform displaced students of their option for continuing education. Westbrook was one of two former ITT students who attended an information session at the Westminster Campus of Front Range Community College on Sept. 17.

Because ITT wasn’t regionally accredited, transferring credits to a community college is not simple. Howard Fukaye, Arapahoe Community College’s director of student recruitment and outreach, said the college’s departments will analyze students’ coursework from ITT to see what can be accepted.

“We’re a lot different type of entity than ITT Tech,” he said.

Bitsy Cohn, director of credit for prior learning for the Colorado Community Col-

“Our responsibility is first and foremost to protect students and taxpayers,” U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. said in a statement.

“Looking at all of the risk factors, it’s clear that we need increased financial protection and that it simply would not be responsible or in the best interest of students to allow ITT to continue enrolling new students who rely on federal student aid funds.”

lege System, said there are ways besides directly transferring credits that ITT Tech students’ prior learning can be assessed, such as portfolio reviews, challenge tests and assessments of workforce or military experience.

“We want to make sure they get some credit for what they’ve learned,” she said.

Former ITT students also have the option of discharging their student loans, but they cannot do so if they transfer credit to another school.

ITT Tech had faced criticism for its marketing strategies and for leaving students with high levels of debt upon graduation. Westbrook said he was told by recruiters that with an ITT degree, he would make more money than with a degree from a community college.

Fukaye said the school was known for targeting unemployed people and those

who were uneducated about the higher education system, with infomercials on daytime or late-night TV and recruiters at government work centers. However, the tuition at ITT Tech was significantly higher than at community colleges, he said, reaching about $5,000 per quarter, compared to $1,745 per semester for a full-time student at ACC. Only small numbers of former ITT Tech students have attended information sessions at area community colleges since the shutdown. While no more open houses are planned, Cohn said more inquiries may trickle in during coming months.

Westbrook said he will likely enroll at Front Range Community College in a computer-related field.

“I’m frustrated,” he said, “but enough time has passed that I’m not as mad as I was.”

Chalk Art Festival to be held at Centennial Center Park The weekend-long event will have creations, food and drink, live entertainment and more Staff report This year, the City of Centennial presents its own Chalk Art Festival co-spon-

sored by Colorado Community Media and Arapahoe Community College.

The weekend festivities are scheduled for 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 24 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sept. 25 at Centennial Center Park, adjacent to the Civic Center off East Arapahoe Road and East Peakview Avenue.

Amateur and professional artists will

use pavement as their canvas for the creative chalk art contest. The two days will also include food from local food trucks,

live entertainment, artisans and more.

That One Special Place

Buyers opt for a year-round resort home at nearby Ravenna, where you can explore three collections this weekend.

by Mark Samuelson At Ravenna, the scenic golf community that’s only 25 minutes from the Tech Center, Realtors are spotting a trend in the pace of luxury home sales that suggests buyers are thinking differently now about where they’ll move and how they’ll retire. “We’re seeing people giving up on the idea of a building a primary home in one place and a secondary home in another,” says Dale Schossow of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, Listing Broker for Ravenna. “They’re opting for one special place they can enjoy yearround, one that’s still close to the kids and close to the city.”

Schossow and his team will let you in to see a place like that this weekend. With its Jay Morrish signature course wrapped in red-rock ridges beside Waterton Canyon, The Club at Ravenna feels like South Jeffco, but is actually in Douglas County... meaning that Ravenna competes against sylvan retreats like Castle Pines, but is far outselling them: 40 lots sold over the past 18 months, including 27 luxury homes in the million-dollar range.

Plans taking shape for future of canal Trail has challenges but is beloved by residents

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com Over the decades, the High Line Canal has been transformed from a utilitarian agricultural irrigation canal into a recreational draw, and the High Line Canal Conservancy says that work needs to be done to preserve it in the future.

One of the longest continuous urban trails in the country, the canal meanders 71 miles, from its start at Waterton Canyon to Green Valley Ranch, south of Denver International Airport, passing through the heart of the metro area along the way and connecting several parks. The trail, a repurposed maintenance road, is a popular route for cyclists, runners, dog walkers and horseback riders.

“People use it as a natural place of beauty and refuge,” said Harriet LaMair, executive director of the conservancy, which was started as a nonprofit foundation in 2014 to lobby for improvements and maintenance for the trail.

The trail is nearly unusable in some parts near its end, LaMair said, and in many places the canal goes under busy roads in a culvert while trail users must find ways to cross.

The conservancy presented its draft vision of a plan for the canal’s future at three open house meetings on Sept. 7 and 8. The meetings were the third step in a process of developing a plan, which will culminate with a presentation of a final plan next month.

In earlier meetings, trail users said they wanted more connectivity in the trail, as well as safety and wayfinding improvements and more access points. People also said that the diversity along the trail, as it cuts through canyons and foothills before moving into farmland and suburbs and urban areas, is important.

Gladwell told those at the Sept. 15 groundbreaking that the project is a public-private partnership. He said the project moved forward when Medici was granted federal and state tax credits because the project included affordable housing. The plan is to make the project meet affordable housing rules by renting the apartments to people earning 60 percent of the area’s median income.

by Denver Water, cuts through four counties and several smaller jurisdictions as it weaves up and down valleys and draws, and owner Denver Water is not necessarily suited for the canal’s modern-day purpose as a recreational area rather than a waterdelivery system. Funding for improvements could come from a range of sources, LaMair said, including governmental agencies and private nonprofits, and the ultimate price tag could reach into the hundreds of millions for a project that could take decades to complete.

“It’s not not doable,” she said of funding.

LaMair noted that safety can be an issue, as there are 81 street crossings along the trail, including three across Broadway within a quarter of a mile in Littleton, a stretch of the trail she refers to as the “triple threat.”

Arapahoe County is currently studying how to improve trail crossings within its jurisdiction.

LaMair said that residents of Littleton, Centennial and Highlands Ranch have been especially active in advocating for the trail’s future.

“The strongest level of engagement has been from the southern suburbs,” she said.

Jay Duran and Joan Prince of Denver, who use the trail for cycling, jogging and cross-country skiing, said that connectivity is a big issue, particularly where the canal crosses Hampden Avenue north into Wellshire Golf Course and turns east across Colorado Boulevard into the University Hills neighborhood of Denver.

LaMair said that there are plans in motion for an underpass for the trail so that us-

agency that approved the tax credits, the private companies that bought the tax credits, the firm that provided the remainder of the financing and the City of Englewood, which helped Medici work through the process to purchase the land for the project.

The majority of the land along Acoma that wraps around to Broadway has belonged to the Englewood Urban Renewal Authority since the 1980s and the unsuccessful Trolley Square project. The city also owned a small part of the land planned for the project.

Several companies proposed projects to develop the site, and Medici was selected.

The Medici Communities concept is to construct a mixed-use development that

MORE INFORMATION There will be three opportunities to attend the conservancy’s fourth open house series, titled Looking Ahead. The meetings will be held at Dry Dock Brewing Company North Dock in Aurora on Oct. 19 and Eisenhower Recreation Center in Denver and Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial on Oct. 20. For more information and addresses of the open houses, go to highlinecanal.org and look under “Planning” for “Community Meetings.” ers do not have to cross the busy thoroughfares. Denver, Arapahoe County and Cherry Hills Village have pledged matching funds to a Colorado Department of Transportation grant for the $5.4 million project.

Another issue many users of the trail have raised is the canal’s water, or lack thereof. The canal services only a small number of water users and only flows intermittently. But that lack of water keeps vegetation along the canal, including popular cottonwood trees, from receiving adequate water.

“People want water in the canal,” LaMair said.

But filling the canal out of the South Platte River doesn’t make sense, she said, as 60 percent to 80 percent of water will leak out of the canal or evaporate. So the conservancy is exploring ways to divert stormwater into the canal, which LaMair said could make the canal wet for 100 more days per year.

includes 12,000 square feet of commercial space and 111 apartments.

The concept is to have commercial space that will include the ground floor of the building on the corner of Broadway and Englewood Parkway. Russell said the goal is to seek tenants including restaurants.

In addition, the proposal is to construct two buildings that will include 111 one- and tw0-bedroom apartments.

The first apartment building now under construction will face Acoma Street.

The ground floor will be for parking and there will be apartments on the upper floor.

The developers have tried to address the parking concerns expressed by merchants of businesses on the west side of

An idea first discussed earlier this year becomes a reality Sept.

29 when Englewood holds its first job fair.

The job fair will be held from 9 a.m. to noon in the community room of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway.

“Early this year, we began looking at the idea of holding a job fair,” said Darren Hollingsworth, city economic development manager. “We talked to Arapahoe/ Douglas Works and to the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce about the issue. We sent out a survey to 50 Englewood businesses and 40 said a job fair would be a good idea.”

He said the free spaces for employers are quickly filling. He said those signed up to attend include Swedish Medical Center, Karcher America (a firm that manufactures commercial floor cleaning equipment), Chick-fil-A and Goodwill Industries.

The Englewood Job Fair will provide job seekers an opportunity to meet with local employers who have a variety of positions available. The first 30 minutes of the job fair will be dedicated to job seekers who are U.S. military veterans.

Booth space at the job fair is free for Englewood employers.

Space will be available on a firstcome, first-served basis. A few spots are still available. To inquire about a space fill out the form at https://fs8.formsite.com/adworks/form74/index.html.

the 3400 block of South Broadway.

The second of the two brick and steel five-story apartment buildings will be designed to face Englewood Parkway. It is designed with retail space on the ground floor with apartments on the upper four floors. There will be one- and two-bedroom apartments in the complex and the anticipation is that many of the tenants will work in the city of Englewood.

Mayor Joe Jefferson said the project has the potential to help revitalize downtown Englewood.

“This is a project offering affordable housing for workers as well as strong commercial development,” he said. “It is a quality project that I feel will be a valuable addition to our community.”

National crime ring suspected in area thefts sheriff’s office.

A suspect in the late-July crime has been described by the sheriff’s office as a white woman between 50 and 60 years old.

She tried to cash stolen checks at several area banks using identification obtained during previous thefts from vehicles, the sheriff’s office said. She may have been driving a gray or silver SUV. Felony Lane Gang members “have been operating for years and are known for using the farthest drive-through lane at a bank to try to cash stolen checks,” according to the sheriff’s office.

While the suspects prefer unlocked vehicles, they will smash windows to gain entry if needed.

Places frequented by women may be targeted

by Felony Lane Gang Staff report A national organized crime ring that targets places frequented by women has again been linked to theft and fraud in the south metro area.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the theft of a purse and checkbook from a locked vehicle at a day care center in the 6800 block of South Quebec Street in Centennial. The crime may be connected to the “Felony Lane Gang,” according to the

“These mostly are happening in broad daylight,” said Julie Brooks, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. “As with many other types of crimes, being aware and observant can help. Look around when you are dropping your kids off at day care or heading into the gym. Do you see people just sitting in their car? Have you seen the car there before? If you see suspicious behavior, report it immediately.”

In January, the sheriff’s office reported it suspected members of the group were responsible for at least three recent thefts in Centennial — and possibly more in the metro area.

A national task force has been

established to combat the gang.

The Felony Lane Gang Task Force has a Facebook page, www. facebook.com/FelonyLaneGang, dedicated to this pursuit.

According to the page: “Members of the Felony Lane Gang are normally based in south Florida and from there travel the country in rental vehicles; they target gyms, parks, day care centers, and sporting events likely to be frequented by women and increasing the chances of finding purses left in vehicles; they conduct surveillance at these locations and unlawfully enter vehicles through unlocked doors or by using a window punch to break the window of a locked

vehicle; and they specifically look for identification such as driver’s licenses, checks, and debit cards.

“The suspects then recruit females who are normally prostitutes and/or drug addicts to assume the identities of the theft victims in order to cash stolen checks belonging to other victims.

The suspects normally supply the recruited check cashers with wigs in order to create a physical appearance similar to that of the victims whose identification was stolen.”

The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information on the latest incident to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or the ACSO tip line at 720-874-8477.

Court hearing delayed for suspect in fatal Centennial crash tennial women — has been delayed until Nov. 18, at which time a plea could be entered.

Dealership boosts leadership in schools Field Elementary program gets $6,000 grant from Groove Auto

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com A leadership program at Eugene Field Elementary School, based on the popular “Seven Habits” series of self-help books, is getting a boost from Groove Auto in the form of a $6,000 grant.

Principal Lyn Bajaj said that the Leader in Me program helps instill positive traits in kids at an early age.

“It’s incredible to see 5-year-olds on the playground say ‘We need to think win-win,’” she said.

Groove regional vice president Rob Edwards took to the stage at a student assembly at Field on Sept. 13 to present an oversized check for $3,000 to Bajaj and the students before announcing that Groove was doubling the grant, drawing loud cheers from the students.

Edwards said Groove chose the Leader in Me program to develop future leaders, and Bajaj introduced him to students as someone who uses the principles of leadership on a daily basis.

The award is the first of 28 Drive for Education grants that Groove is giving to Denver-area schools this month.

“It’s a big commitment of Groove to give back and fund Colorado schools in need,” said Tamila Bauer, chief marketing officer of Summit Automotive

Partners, to which Groove belongs.

About 85 percent of the 340 students at Field qualify for free lunch, she noted.

Field is one of only about 35 schools in the state that take part in The Leader in Me, which includes classroom materials, professional development and virtual materials. The program stresses teaching kids to be proactive, plan ahead, set goals and work together.

“It’s a really good way to help kids learn about leadership,” said fourthgrader Kaylan Adams-Trusty.

And fourth-grader Saul Ascencio said students can use the lessons they learn to help younger siblings.

In May, Field students will make a presentation on the leadership principles they learn in the program to Groove employees.

“It’s an opportunity to see the growth through this program,” Bauer said.

Field is not the only Littleton school to be awarded a grant from Groove, district spokeswoman Diane Leiker said.

Ralph Moody Elementary School received $3,500 to support a robotics club for fifth-graders, Hopkins Elementary School received $3,500 to upgrade classroom projectors and Franklin Elementary School received $1,500 to purchase books for first and second graders.

Other area schools to receive grants are Acres Green Elementary School, Castle Rock Elementary School and Cresthill Middle School, all in Douglas County.

With the help of Field Elementary School fourth- and fifth-graders, principal Lyn Balaj accepts a $3,000 check from Groove Auto Regional Vice President Rob Edwards, right, to fund the school’s Leader in Me program.

SEVEN HABITS The Leader in Me program works on the principles outlined in Sean Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Happy Kids,” itself a spinoff of his father Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.”

The habits are: Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Listen before you talk.

Be proactive You’re in charge.

Begin with the end in mind.

Have a plan.

Synergize.

Together is better.

Put first things first.

Work first, then play.

Sharpen the saw.

Balance feels best.

Everyone can win.

A dream, a goal, or just a fantasy Have you been dreaming about a beach vacation, a mountain home, a tropical island getaway, a new home, a new car, writing a book, or starting your own business? I know I have.

Now let me ask it a different way, have you been fantasizing about a beach vacation, a mountain home, a tropical island getaway, a new home, a new car, writing a book, or starting your own business?

You see there is a big difference between having dreams and goals and simply just fantasizing about them. Fantasizing about what you want most in life probably includes daydreaming, surfing the internet, looking at homes, browsing business opportunities, and writing books, music, or poems and lyrics in our head. But never actually doing anything about them.

Setting goals and fulfilling dreams may start with some of the same things that fantasies do, however, they also probably look very different. I write a lot about setting and achieving goals or turning dreams into achievable events and life-changing moments, and what I write about most or coach to most often is the specific tactics and executable actions that have to take place to turn our fantasies into achievable goals and objectives.

Now some of us are happy right where we are and very content with just living in

fantasy land, or on Fantasy Island for that matter. Where it’s nice to talk about and fantasize about what our life might look like or where we might want to live or retire, but when it comes to actually following through on it, we just can’t even take that first step.

Michael Norton Maybe we talk ourselves out of such fanWINNING tasies because they just WORDS seem too risky, it could cost too much money, it will take too much time, it will be really really hard, it could take me away from my family or friends, or we can see our fantasies coming true for others, but there is just no way that our own fantasies and dreams can come true.

Well, what if we changed our thought process and started talking ourselves into the achievement of our goals and dreams? It may be risky, but the bigger the risk the bigger the reward. It may seem like a lot of money, but with creativity and financing, I just might be able to pull it off. I am not going to worry about how much time it takes, this is my biggest dream, I will make the time. Wow,

this will be hard, but I know that I am up for the challenge. My family and my friends will support me, I know I can count on them.

This isn’t just someone else’s goal or dream; I will own this one.

When it comes to taking action regarding our fantasies and taking the actions necessary to achieve them, the first thing we have to do is turn our negative self-talk into positive self-talk. It is so easy for others to talk us out of our goals and dreams, and it’s even easier for us to talk ourselves out of those same goals and dreams. So identify what it is you want to do or be or have; identify why you really really want it; and then fill your mind with positive affirmations on how you will achieve it. There are several next steps, but this is where it starts.

How about you? Are you being opportunistic and hoping an opportunity will fall in your lap? Or are you now thinking a little more strategically about how to turn those fantasies into achievable goals and dreams?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we focus on what we can achieve, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the former president of the Zig Ziglar Corporation, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

Doty deserves your vote Do you remember Nancy Doty? She served as an exemplary Arapahoe County clerk and successfully turned that office around. Nancy is our Republican candidate for state Senate District 26. As a certified public accountant, she has extensive experience developing budgets and successfully working within budgets. While serving in public office Gov. Bill Owens appointed Nancy as his chief financial officer.

Now more than ever, voters living in District 26 are called to take a close look at this Senate seat and carefully evaluate the experience and ethics of a candidate like Nancy Doty. I believe she the most qualified for this Senate seat and she will win my vote. You are invited to become fully informed. You are invited to vote wisely.

Here’s a vote for an end to political season Nov. 9, 2016, can’t get here soon enough.

The past two years have been an inglorious vaudeville featuring Meanness, Deception and Coarse Language.

I don’t talk to people like they Craig Marshall Smith do, and I don’t talk about people the QUIET they do.

DESPERATION wayMythat political root system is fairly shallow, so I won’t expose it here by naming names or decrying campaigns — or the characters behind them.

Unfortunately, there are only two names to name.

There should be more. I know that there are others in the running, but they are simply political trifles.

What if all you had to choose from was a Ford or a Chevy?

Or mumps or measles?

That’s what it feels like. Do I want mumps, or do I want measles?

Professional athletes are spokesmen and spokeswomen out of all proportion to their importance off the field. But who in the organization wants to criticize an overpaid linebacker? He might pout, and ask to be traded. I don’t care if the Broncos go 0-16, but I know that they are a nearobsession in these woods.

I don’t want either one of them.

Day after day and into the night, there are political commentaries by some very bright people, as well as by quite a few whose bulbs burned out a long time ago.

Up from all of this we should have some splendid choices, and as many as you have at IHOP. Scrambled, over easy, sunny side up, poached, or Scotched.

Nope.

It’s runny or hard-boiled.

I have stopped watching the news. I have stopped watching the debates. No more interviews.

I take it now in much smaller bites. Online and in the newspaper. It’s not inspiring.

It doesn’t make me feel good. It depresses me.

I keep hearing Peggy Lee. “Is that all there is?”

New voters: Don’t despair. One of these days, it won’t be this grim. I hope it happens again in my life time.

During the week, the daily is now a twosection newspaper.

The front pages cover crimes and political opinions.

The sports pages cover crimes and political opinions.

It’s true. Professional athletes are spokesmen and spokeswomen out of all proportion Smith continues on Page 11

What is Sustainable Printing?

It’s the paper: Biodegradable, renewable, recycled, reusable.

It’s the ink: Soy based inks are used, reused then recycled.

It’s the plate: Process-free plates eliminate VOC’s and reduce water usage.

It’s the press: Using cold-set presses reduces the amount of VOC’s put into the air.

It’s the location: Printed locally reducing shipping and postage costs, while saving gas, emissions and time.

Demographics offer prediction of future Everyone needs a financial plan at some point in their lives. It is no secret that the earlier you start, the more likely you will be to reach your goals while requiring less money. This is because time and compounding are on your side. However, it is always interesting how people are more engaged in the process the older they get.

Running out of time is scary and running out of money is worse. Therefore, many investment strategies are being created to assist retirees with income. However, taking advantage of the growth market fueled by the over-50 crowd may provide more assets for longer.

It is important for all generations to realize that the bulk of goods and services available are aimed at the age group with the most disposable income and the largest demographic pool. You can look back at the impact of the baby boomer generation - 76 million strong - as they progressed in age. Products boomed from Gerber baby food to new elementary schools and then hordes of teens hanging out at fast food joints (some with really cool cars) as this massive generation grew up. Then as adults the demands were for suburbia housing, mini vans and supermarkets. Now they

are retiring and the statistics are worth noting, as it will impact what is available for any age group until Gen X (55 million) and the millennials (66 million) amass enough wealth to impact product offerings.

Patricia Kummer The boomer generation is starting FINANCIAL to shrink due to STRATEGIES deaths and fewer immigrants over age 55. Therefore it is predicted that the millennials will exceed the boomers by 2030. However Gen X may always be the smaller stepchild and may not impact economic growth as much as the two larger siblings.¹ Currently, the fastest-growing segment of the population consists of people over age 100². In 2016, 115 million Americans are over age 50 and 40 million are over age 65. Yet only 7 percent of boomers and 22

percent of seniors have a financial plan.

That may be why these next statistics are a bit dire: • Thirty-three percent are still working but had expected to be retired by now.

• Fifty-five percent are unsure how much they will need or if they can retire.³ The largest age group of investors is age 50-64. And this age group is embarking on a future like no other generation before them. They expect to live longer, healthier, more active lives than their parents, and they will likely spend more on wants versus needs such as travel and sports. And perhaps they are investing in things they will benefit from when they are older. Such as things that improve eyesight, hearing, mobility and memory loss as well as ranch style or retirement community housing.

The growth segment will be anything related to goods and services to satisfy the insatiable appetite of the instant-gratification crowd.

The older end of the boomer spectrum consists of people looking for services to assist those who are unable to provide for themselves. That might include taking care of the yard and house, shuttle services, meal planning and online banking and

shopping for the homebound. Medical centers are popping up all over town along with drive-through pharmacies, and group travel experiences are on the rise.

These demographic trends tell a story that will impact our economy in the future.

It may be beneficial to be prepared for these changes.

Keep in mind that the best is yet to come I remember the moment well. I lay in a hospital bed in the ICU of a local hospital recovering from a successful neck surgery and grieving. I hadn’t lost any loved ones due to death or illness, and I wasn’t without a job or resources. It was worse — my youngest child had moved out of the house and into his own life. I felt adrift and without a sense of purpose, even with a successful career as a writer and artist.

I grieved because I was no longer “needed” to raise my children. They were capable and thriving on their own. When the nurse asked me if I’d like something to soothe me, of course, I readily agreed so I could dull the pain of my loneliness and sorrow. Then I asked her to find a Chaplain for me to talk to.

The Chaplain, Nora, arrived, and we had a wonderful visit. She was an older woman who had served her community through her work. We talked about the sadness I felt as I transitioned into the empty nest, along with my husband. Next, Nora told me about a book, “The Gift of Years: Growing Older Gracefully,” by Sister Joan Chittister, a Benedictine nun, who is outspoken on the topics of advocacy, justice, peace, and equality — especially for women. She is also fearless about the issue of aging. Sister Chittister challenged readers to examine the aging process, not as a thing to be feared, but to be embraced as there was, and is, so much more to it.

“We don’t change as we get older — we just get to be more of what we’ve always been,” she said.

Sister Chittister’s words moved me.

Soon, I was searching for new ways to fill the new voids in my life, and find it I did.

I looked for work in numerous organizations and eventually landed a job in a retirement community in Westminster where I could use my love of writing and the arts to help improve the quality of lives for residents. I no longer felt “down” about aging, and instead, I became more excited about growing older. Yes! I said it! I

became more excited about growing older.

With aging comes possibility!

Our residents and many others in our surrounding communities are intelligent, and their lifelong experiences and shared wisdom have added a wonderful Vickie Krudwig new dimension to my life and the lives TODAY’S of others. They are SENIOR proof that active engagement in life can have a positive effect on mental and physical wellness. Our residents are hungry for knowledge, and they soak up new experiences at LifeConnect University, Covenant Village of Colorado’s on-campus lifelong learning program.

They love trying their hand at something new, such as beginning watercolor classes, fused glass workshops, bead working, writing programs, poetry sessions, music classes, and ecumenical programs.

Growing older can and will open us up to new possibilities, new social opportunities, and lasting friendships. In other words, life is worth living for, and aging does have its benefits!

A ministry of presence Police chaplains talk, listen and provide support to law enforcement and their families

By Alex DeWind awind@coloradocommunitymedial.com

C

haplain Tim Ralph of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has frequented Parker Adventist Hospital over the past few weeks. He visits Dan Brite, a member of the sheriff’s office’s Impact Unit, and Brite’s wife Christine, a sergeant with the sheriff’s office.

On Sept. 2, while responding to a “suicidal” suspect’s home near Sierra Middle School, Brite was shot in the chest. He has been in critical condition since.

Ralph recalls a recent visit at the hospital on Sept.

13: Brite had woken up and was kissing his children.

Still unable to talk, he attempted to scribble what looked like an “A” on a piece of paper.

“I said pray? And he shook his head yes,” Ralph said.

“So we prayed.”

Ralph — also a Douglas County deputy and the founding pastor of a church — said he loves to help people. That is why he talks, listens and offers religious and spiritual support to the command staff of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

“I try to tell them that they are fighting the good fight,” he said.

Chaplains differ among law enforcement agencies.

Some, like the Golden Police Department, have more than one chaplain. Others, like the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, don’t have a chaplain for the command staff.

Kevin Shive, 46, one of four chaplains of the Golden Police Department, founded his organization — Rocky Mountain Police Chaplains — in 2014 to unify police chaplains across the state.

Today, the organization has about 55 chaplains, including many from metro Denver police agencies such as Wheat Ridge Police Department, Denver Police Department, Littleton Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and more.

The idea came to Shive after a set of traumatic events in the metro area, including the 2012 Aurora theater shooting that left 12 people dead and more than 70 injured at a midnight showing of “The Dark Knight Rises,” and the 2013 Boulder County flood that Chaplains continues on Page 13

WHAT IS A CHAPLAIN?

TYPES OF CHAPLAINS

A chaplain provides nondenominational religious services, spiritual guidance and counseling to people within a secular institution, such as a hospital, prison, military unit, police department, fire department or university. Chaplains pray and promote spirituality, read from sacred texts, prepare and deliver sermons, organize and lead religious

services, and plan and lead religious education programs.

Police chaplains serve law enforcement personnel and agencies.

patients, families and staff at a hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility or hospice.

A chaplain is required to have a Bachelor’s degree, though many employers also require a Master’s degree and prior experience in the field of religion.

Prison chaplains serve those who are incarcerated, either awaiting trial or after conviction.

Educational chaplains serve an educational institution, such as a college or university.

Parliamentary chaplains serves parliamentary bodies, such as the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives.

Chaplain Stage

Douglas County jail On a weekday afternoon, Chaplain Kenny Teague sports a blue-collared shirt, jeans and a pair of Nikes. When asked how he deals with the day-to-day duties as chaplain of the Douglas County jail, he responds: “There’s no turning it off. This is is my way of life.”

Teague, 53, leads weekly religious services on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. On Sunday morning, he streams a service from a church in Boulder over a projector in one of the jail’s program rooms. He’s at the jail full-time during the week, where he leads Bible studies, provides one-on-one counseling and coordinates requests for religious texts.

“Some will tell you how much their lives changed getting closer to God,” Teague said of the inmates.

Teague has been chaplain of the Douglas County jail for three years. About 15 religious volunteers assist him with services. When he talks

Military chaplains serve service personnel and conduct religious services at sea or in the field.

Arapahoe County jail

Chaplain Kenneth Teague works with inmates at the Douglas County Jail. This is his way of life, he said. “I don’t pacify anything — I’m real when I talk to them.” Photo by Alex DeWind to inmates, Teague is straightforward. He said he recognizes that they have the freedom to practice religion and, also, the freedom to not practice religion.

“We try to do everything to keep the jail quiet,” he said.

Chaplain Stage, who would like his first name kept private, has been a full-time employee of the Arapahoe County jail for about four years. He’s at the jail Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and one weekend a month as chaplain of the Colorado National Guard.

Stage’s responsibilities at the 1,350-bed jail include leading seven religious services per week and providing one-onone spiritual, emotional and religious counseling for inmates.

He also handles logistics, including coordinating inmates’ requests for religious texts.

Religious and spiritual services are a release for the

inmates, he said.

“It’s a way for them to bring order to their chaos,” Stage, 38, said.

Stage has a Christian background and acknowledges that sometimes he cannot provide the appropriate religious services to inmates. So, in those instances, he will reach out to other religious leaders in the community.

“I advocate for their First Amendment right,” Stage said.

“But I’m not a chameleon.”

As chaplain of a county jail, he had to learn very quickly how to deal with heavy stories.

To handle the emotion, he said he talks to God and relies on his own faith.

“It’s a blessing to forget some things,” he said.

‘Literary Magic’ is theme as orchestra opens season Lone Tree Symphony performance salutes city’s new library

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com

“Literary Magic” is the theme as the Lone Tree Symphony tunes up for its first concert of the 2016-2017 season at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 at Lone Tree Arts Center.

The theme celebrates the opening of the new Lone Tree Library just across the street from the Arts Center, where the orchestra usually performs. The program should appeal to all but the littlest, wiggliest family members.

Conductor Jacinda Bouton will raise her baton first to lead the orchestra in Leonard Bernstein’s “Overture to Candide,” followed by Arthur Sullivan’s “The Tempest.” The “Banquet Dance” and “Dance of Nymphs and Reapers” will be selected from the Sullivan work.

Selections from John Williams’ fanciful soundtrack for the film “Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone” are next, recalling the 2001 movie. It has a part about “The Quidditch

S

Match” and another about the “Face of Voldemort.”

Saint Saens’ “Cello Concerto” and “Romeo and Juliet Fantasy” complete this program.

All but one of the orchestra’s programs will be performed at the Lone Tree Arts Center.

The Feb. 18 Family Concert, “A Musical Petting Zoo,” will be presented at a location to be announced. The orchestra’s executive director, Rich Duston, said it will focus on the process of starting out to play and instrument and will be accessible to families. “It’s OK for kids to make noise,” Duston said, recalling concerts he’d done with the Aurora Symphony in the past.

The first weekend in December, Dec. 2-3, will bring “Nutcracker and More” with James Beckel’s “A Christmas Fanfare,” followed by Bryan George Kelly’s “Improvisations on Christmas Carols.” Vocalist Heidi Schmidt will lead the audience in a Christmas sing-along.

The Feb. 18 Family Concert, the show with the location still to be determined, will include “Peter and the Wolf,” the first movement from Beethoven’s “Fifth Symphony,” John Williams’ rousing “Imperial March” and the finale from the “William Tell Overture.” This is the first

time in five years that the LTSO has performed a children’s concert, Duston said.

March will bring Dvorak’s “Eighth Symphony” in a “Masterworks Concert” that will bring some of the greatest music from a number of composers. Dvorak wrote it just before coming to America and incorporated Bohemian folk songs.

On May 19, the program will focus on “Dances” with a program to be announced by the Music Committee — perhaps with a guest artist. Stay tuned.

Sheridan set to celebrate with festival Parade, music and pony rides part of Sheridan Celebrates event

TRIP BACK IN TIME

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com

There is no admission charge as, after the parade, the focus and the crowd move to the Sheridan City Hall Lawn at Oxford and Federal. There will be free entertainment on the main stage, including a performance by Shotgun Lullaby, a six-member country rock band.

Shopping is a big part of Sheridan Celebrates as about 90 vendors will be set up and offering merchandise or services for sale. Most vendors will set up canopies on both sides of the walkways that weave through the area. Food trucks will be set up offering attendees an opportunity to purchase a variety of food and beverages This year, Sheridan Celebrates also will have a free petting zoo and free pony rides. Also at least once in the morning and once in the afternoon the local Supersonic Frisbee Dogs will put on free performances.

Boots, spurs and cowboy hats will fit right in at the Sept. 24 Sheridan Celebrates festivities and this year’s Wild West theme.

The festivities kick off at 9 a.m. with the children’s parade, a firsttime event for the celebration. At 10 a.m., the “Sheridan Celebrates the Wild, Wild West Parade” makes its way south on Federal Boulevard before turning west on Oxford Avenue.

LaVaughn Gillespie, retired city treasurer, is the grand marshal for this year’s parade and the parade will include 60 members of the Westernaires precision youth equestrian drill team.

Tickets, $23-$42, 303-794-2787, ext. 5 or townhallartscenter.org/once.

“Money Shot” plays through Sept. 24 at the Avenue Theater, 417 E. 17th Avenue, Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Tickets: $27.50, avenuetheater.com.

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com We are told that 29 productions have opened — or will open — during September in the metro area, as the new theater season gets going. What’s a theater lover to do? Get up and go! We visited three in the past week, which varied considerably …

‘Once Upon a Mattress’ “Romp” is a good word to describe this funny spin on Hans Christian Anderson’s “Princess and the Pea.” “Once Upon a Mattress,” at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton through Oct. 2, introduces characters right up front, after a chorus of “We Have an Opening for a Princess.” Overbearing Queen Agravain seems a part just made for the talented comic LuAnn Buckstein, who bosses her wimpy son, Prince Dauntless (Mark Shonsey) endlessly. Mute (due to a curse) King Sextimus (Kevin Walton) chases a nubile young woman across the stage in the other direction (his special interest). Sir Harry (Zach Stailey) proposes going into the nearby Swampland in search of a suitable princess since the queen has rejected all candidates to date. No one in the kingdom can marry until the prince does!

Soon, a dripping, seaweed-draped Princess Winnifred the Woebegone (the excellent Taylor Nicole Young) climbs up out of the moat after swimming across it.

“Shy” is her first number, with the queen and wizard. Young can belt them out and soon follows with “The Swamps of Home.”

Town Hall Arts Center has its season off to a live-wire start, under Robert Wells’ skilled direction. He really has a knack for staging the silly stuff. Kelly Kates’ choreography shines throughout — especially “The Spanish Panic.” Michael Duran’s scenic design suggests a castle’s archi-

‘Sister Act’ The Broadway musical “Sister Act,” set in 1977 Philadelphia, is based on the 1992 film starring Whoopi Goldberg. It plays through Oct. 2 at the Arvada Center, with a strong, winning performance by Brit West as Deloris Van Cartier, an entertainer who has to go into hiding after she wit-

nessed a murder. The police find her a secure place — in a nearby convent, where the Mother Superior (Megan VanDe Hey) will watch over her, aided by her nuns — who sing off-tune and are awkward and shy.

Deloris soon has the sisters rockin’ — which pleases the Monsignor O’Hara (Stephen Day) and alarms Mother Superior greatly. Farce ensues, with chases, gangsters, altar boys and lots of delightful music from the house band, led by David Nehls on keyboard.

The energetic score is by Alan Menken, with gospel, Motown, soul and rock segments. Brian Mallgrave’s set worked

Kitty Skillman Hilsabeck choreographed and appeared as one of the sisters and Brianna Diaz is credited with the array of costumes, including one especially clever lightning-fast change on stage.

‘The Money Shot’ Our third show of the week, “The Money Shot” by Neil LaBute, plays through Sept. 24 at the Avenue Theater on 17th Avenue in Denver, where scripts get a bit edgy on occasion. Well-directed by Warren Sherrill, and with a competent cast of Suzie Scott, Stephen Krusoe, Timmi Lasley and Katie Cross, it tells a story of fading actors who are so desperate for work that they get involved in production of a pornographic film. (The title refers to that.) La Bute’s language and action is often dicey, but this is really out there.

Winery, restaurant offer ‘unique’ experience Capitol Hill Italian eatery Angelo’s Taverna opens shared space with Carboy in Littleton

By Kyle Harding kharding@coloradocommunitymedia.com After more than 40 years serving up Italian fare on Capitol Hill, Angelo’s Taverna has opened a second location, this one in Littleton, and it includes an on-location urban winery, something co-owner Craig Jones says is unique in Colorado.

Carboy Winery shares the building, located at 6885 S. Santa Fe Drive, with Angelo’s, and its vintner’s license allows drinks to be carried across the premises.

“I’ve lived in Littleton for 16 years,” said Jones, who purchased the restaurant four years ago with Eric Hyatt, explaining why he chose the location for Angelo’s suburban outpost.

Many customers of the original 6th Avenue location drive from as far away as Highlands Ranch to eat at Angelo’s regularly, Jones said.

The restaurant, along with the winery, will give suburban diners a closer option, Jones said.

“The thing about the suburbs is you have a lot of chain restauants and people want the unique, chic experience they get in Denver,” he said.

The winery, owned by Gabriel Aragon, sources wines from regions all over the world and puts its own twist on some of

C-470 Continued from Page 1

“It’s despicable what has happened, how CDOT has stonewalled us,” he said.

In its response to the lawsuit, CDOT denies that its noise modeling is flawed. CDOT officials have declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Project Director Jerome Estes, of CDOT, said the project will sig-

“We’re doing something that in the Old World is not that uncommon,” said sommelier Kevin Webber, who is Carboy’s director of sales and marketing.

Bry binging wines from different regions under the Carboy label, Webber said, the winery will allow people to try fine wines at a lower price.

“Wine has a stigma that really good, exceptional wine is for people in the know or people with deep pockets,” he said.

Per-glass prices for Carboy wines on the Angelo’s wine list range from $8 to $10.

The winery also will try to incorporate

nificantly relieve congestion not just on C-470, but on east-west streets in the south metro area, as some drivers have taken to those routes to avoid the freeway.

“I live in the area, I see congestion on 470 all the time and I think the average person wants that to get better,” Estes said.

At an open house information session in Highlands Ranch on Sept. 13, people expressed mixed opinions about the project.

Jeffrey Pearson, a U.S. Geological Survey employee who recently bought a house in Highlands

more Colorado-grown wines into its menu, Webber said.

Carboy is an urban winery, meaning it has no vineyard of its own. While wineries located in viticultural areas attempt to lure drinkers to their rural settings and persuade them to join wine clubs, urban wineries bring the product to the consumer.

The model also lowers the barrier of entry to becoming a winemaker.

Next year, Carboy will begin fermenting its own wine from whole grapes that it sources from vineyards, said winemaker Tyzok Wharton, and will eventually produce about 125,000 bottles per year.

“Not everybody is privileged with

Ranch along C-470, said he is not concerned about the noise and believes the project could have a positive effect on congestion.

“I’d rather save the hour stuck in traffic,” he said.

However, Pearson, an environmental scientist who used to work for FHWA, said he has other concerns about the project.

“I’m really more worried about the impact on the environment,” he said.

The work had been scheduled to begin over the summer and an official groundbreaking took

the land,” said Wharton, who previously worked at an urban winery in San Francisco that primarily sourced fruit from Northern California’s Sonoma Valley wine region.

Carboy is also taking a page from craft breweries that dot the Denver area, offering growler fills of wine to take home. In addition, it serves beer from local breweries, including its neighbor, Breckenridge Brewery. It has 14 wines, and Webber said that Vin 59, a red blend of Zinfandel, Syrah and Malbec, is currently the flagship wine.

“It’s kind of a wine for everybody,” he said.

Inside the restaurant side of the 10,000-square-foot building, design cues evoke the original location of Angelo’s, with a large circular bar, brick walls, stained glass and a glass display wall full of bottles of limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur.

When Jones and Hyatt bough Angelo’s four years ago, they added an oyster bar to the standard Italian fare, something that carries over to the new location.

While the original Angelo’s benefits from a location in a walkable neighborhood, the Littleton location does not have the same advantage. However, Jones said it has drawn about 500 diners on weekends since its soft opening earlier this month. He said getting customers out on weekday nights is what it needs to do to remain successful after its grand opening on Sept. 29.

“Like any restaurant,” he said, “it’s going to take a while to get people out here on a Monday or Tuesday.”

place in August, but Estes said the project will likely not begin until early October.

The biggest change to C-470 will be the addition of toll lanes, with two of them westbound between I-25 and Colorado and one from Colorado to Wadsworth Boulevard, and one eastbound toll lane from Platte Canyon Road to I-25.

Estes said toll lanes were chosen over high-occupancy vehicle lanes in part to help pay for the project. The construction is mostly financed by loans that

will be paid for using the collected tolls. The cost of the project is $215 million, or $318 million including debt service.

In addition to the express lanes, upgrades will include pavement reconstruction, auxiliary lanes at certain locations, curve realignment, widening or replacement of bridges and grade separations for the C-470 multiuse trail that runs parallel to the freeway. Work is expected to be completed in 2019.

Museum highlights Japanese fashions

Jacket with transformable bustle and asymmetric skirt from fall/winter 1986 collection by Issey Miyake. Japanese ikat-printed cotton. Courtesy of Denver Art Museum

‘Shock Wave’ looks back at drama of 1980s, 1990s

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Step out of the elevator on the sixth floor of the North (Ponti) Building of the Denver Art Museum and enter a different world — one that tells a story about Japanese fashion design arriving in Paris in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and causing a major stir.

In an introduction to gallery visitors at last week’s press preview, museum director Chistoph Heinrich observed that the “Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design 1980s-90s” exhibit marked “an epic moment in time when a dialogue between East and West turned around — when fashion was done for women to wear — instead of for men to look at.”

Last year, Florence Muller joined the Denver Art Museum as Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art, Curator of Fashion. This is her first exhibition for the DAM, although Denver was familiar with her skills because she curated the extremely popular Yves St. Laurent fashion exhibit in 2012, while still a resident of Paris.

Wearing a well-designed black dress, with red sandals and a detailed yellow handbag, she spoke initially of her adventure in assembling this exhibit. She will focus on fashion of the 21st century as she builds a collection for the DAM-beginning with some of the pieces we see in “Shock Wave.”

The world of fashion was watching New York in the 1970s and 1980s when designers from Tokyo created a “shock wave,” Muller said in her exhibit commentary…

This exhibition includes ‘70s looks

by Issey Miyake, Kenzo Takada, Kansai

Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo’s Comme des Garcons. “This exhibition will trace the origins of the innovations that they created through the reinvention of textiles, silhouettes and even fashion brand identity,” Mueller said.

Some designs flow from the Kimono tradition, while most seem unrelated.

And they are worn with low-heeled shoes and no lipstick. Confrontations between Japanese and Parisian designers occurred.

There are five thematic sections described by the museum: • How East Met West — How designers mixed Japanese forms and patterns with Western shapes and textiles and the intersection between tradition and modernity.

• Japanese and Western Fashion Confronted — Showcases the contrast between Japanese and Western drapery techniques — molding the body versus hiding the body with oversized shapes.

• Deconstruction/Reconstruction — Focuses on the creation of avantgarde shapes and textiles based on “deconstructing” and reinventing the traditional Western representation of femininity. Looks by Comme des Garcons, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto will exemplify how they overthrew standards in their approach to fabric cut and style. Some fabrics have been washed and harshly treated to get a worn effect.

• Art and Fashion in Dialogue — Highlights the convergence of art and fashion through contemporary art, including photographs and rare publications as well as dance and film collaborations … pioneered a new form of media.

• How West met East — Concludes the exhibition by reversing the first section, highlighting how the next wave of Western designers were inspired by the trends set by Japanese designers. Included: designs by Martin Margiela. Dries Van Noten, Helmut Lang and John Galliano. They

IF YOU GO “Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design 1980s-90s” is on the sixth floor of the North (Ponti) Building at the Denver Art Museum until May 28, 2017. It is included in general admission. The museum is located in downtown Denver at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway and more information is available at denverartmuseum.org.

continued the wave of the innovative Japanese aesthetic including conceptualism, minimalism, diverse ways of challenging the fashion system.

Fashion show photography and video footage add interest as do designer catalogs and some furniture that shows Japanese influence.

Mueller bought some pieces at auction and borrowed others from museums and individuals. Lenders Joan Agajanian Quinn of Los Angeles and Susan Damour of Denver were present at the press tour. Quinn said she met Japanese fashion at the American Embassy in Tokyo and brought an exhibit to the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles.

Damour, regional administrator for the U.S. General Services Administration, Rocky Mountain Region, began her interest in art and fashion at an early age and the interest carries through to artworks displayed in the buildings she oversees.

The visitor will want to savor this exhibit slowly to appreciate the intricate cutting that went into creating these clothes. The light is necessarily low so it won’t damage the fabrics and has the effect of slowing one down.

But it also requires one to look closely to appreciate the deconstructed garments and details throughout.

A 64-page exhibition catalog, written by Florence Muller and Jane Burke of the textile department, is available in the museum shop.

Knee Arthritis Pain: One HUGE Mistake And Two “Smart Moves”

Doctor’s Simple Advice Gets Rave Reviews By Patients Lucky Enough To Give It A Try

By Matt Edgar America’s Health Writer

Denver- Have you been told that exercise will help your knee arthritis pain?

Well... has it helped? If it hasn’t, one local doctor has a very good reason why. Not only that - he says if you are trying to exercise with knee arthritis - you might be making a HUGE mistake.

Sounds crazy?

Yes it does. In fact, I thought it was a ridiculous thing to say.

That is until I talked to some of his patients who gave him rave reviews. Many said he completely changed their life.

When they first came to the office, their knee arthritis pain was so bad they could barely walk and were scheduled for total knee replacement surgery. In a relatively short period of time, they cancelled surgery and are enjoying their lives again.

Why is exercising a HUGE mistake and what does this doctor recommend that is helping so many knee arthritis sufferers who come to see them from all over the state?

Double Edged Sword The doctor says that exercising with knee arthritis is a double edged sword. It is true, your knee joints need motion to be healthy.

And lack of motion can be very detrimental.

Without motion joints become “sick.” And in theory exercising should help knee arthritis.

But here is the BIG problem: Knee arthritis is condition that dries up the lubricating fluids in your knee. It also changes the joint surface and creates bone spurs.

Because of these changes - exercising on an arthritic knee can cause more swelling, more pain and more arthritic changes.

Imagine driving your car without any oil. What happens? The engine parts scrape together and wear out.

You can’t simply drive your car more and make it better. And in many cases - you simply can’t just exercise your knee and make it better, either.

What’s the answer?

In a car it’s simple - put in more oil. And then make sure the oil level is correct and it is changed when necessary.

With your knee joints - it is a little more complicated.

The major lubricating fluid in your knee joint is called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid is the fluid that “dries up” when you suffer with arthritis.

But there is good news: Now doctors can inject one of the building blocks of synovial fluid

Making Knee Arthritis Pain Worse: Research has discovered that people are suffering with arthritis much younger than expected. Making the right treatment choices now can possibly stop the progression and eliminate the pain.

directly into your knee joint.

This building block of synovial fluid is called hyaluronic acid.

And when hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the knee joint, many experts believe it helps lubricate the joint.

Some say it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge. This allows the knee joint to glide more smoothly and often reduces or even eliminates pain.

And here is the most important part: Now that the joint is lubricated and can move with

less or no pain - specific exercises can be a tremendous help.

That’s why the doctors (when patients qualify) treat knee arthritis patients with hyaluronic acid injections FIRST and then prescribe a very specific rehabilitation and exercise program specially developed to help knee arthritis pain.

This comprehensive knee arthritis pain program is called, “P.A.C.E.” and has been getting wonderful results.

So what is the HUGE mistake? If you suffer with knee arthritis and are exercising and the pain is either not getting better - or getting worse - you may be making a mistake. You may actually be making things worse.

And that’s the last thing you want to do.

What are the two “smart moves?”

If you have knee arthritis pain, look into viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid. In many cases treatment with hyaluronic acid followed by a specific rehabilitation or exercise program can get results when everything else has failed. In fact, it is not uncommon to get pain relief just from the hyaluronic acid treatments alone - without doing any rehabilitation or exercising at all.

And the results can be dramatic.

If you are thinking about

giving hyaluronic acid treatments a try - this is VERY IMPORTANT: In our opinion the doctor you choose should use advanced imaging technology such as fluoroscopy to guide the injections and make sure the hyaluronic acid goes where it is supposed to. Laser guided digital imaging is one of the best technologies to guide injections.

Research shows that without fluoroscopy, doctors miss the joint space up to 30% of the time.

Obviously, if the joint space is missed - the treatment cannot work.

If you have already had viscosupplementaion without this advanced imaging technology and it did not work - you may want to give it another try with a doctor who uses this cutting edge technique to get the best results possible.

So, if you suffer with knee arthritis pain, talk to a specialist about viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid especially if exercise is not working or making things worse.

And make sure the doctor you choose works in a state-ofthe-art medical facility and uses advanced fluoroscopic imaging (Like laser guided digital imaging) to guide the injections to make sure the treatments have the best chance to work.

For more information on viscosupplementation for knee arthritis or to get a free screening to see if this treatment is right for you, one of the specialists at Osteo Relief Institute can be reached at 720-500-1045.

Knee Pain Treatment Craze In Denver

After thousands already helped knee pain suffers face 48 hour cut off to get risk free screening for incredibly popular treatment (ORI) - The clock is ticking.

There is only 48 hours to go.

If you suffer with knee arthritis pain and would like to get a risk free knee pain screening to see if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute in Greenwood Village, CO can help you with their extremely popular knee pain relief program - read this right now.

Here is why: For the past several years, the experts at Osteo Relief Institute have been literally swarmed with knee arthritis sufferers looking for relief.

Nearly all these knee pain sufferers chose Osteo Relief for one reason - their top-notch knee pain relief program featuring viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid and specially designed rehabilitation program.

The SecretTo Success?

The experts at Osteo Relief Institute believe one of the biggest reasons for their success is the fact that they have some of the best technology money can buy.

Laser Guided Digital Imaging The clinic uses extremely advanced imaging equipment that allows them to see directly into the knee joint that they are treating.

This advanced imaging is called, “Laser Guided Digital Imaging” and many experts believe is the difference between success and failure with this knee pain treatment.

And probably the best thing about this technology is that it has allowed the experts at Osteo Relief Institute to get results with knee pain when so many others have failed.

What Is This Treatment?

This treatment is viscosupplementation with hyaluronic acid (HA). Those are big medical terms that basically means this...

When you have knee arthritis - the lubricating fluid (synovial fluid) in your knee joint dries up.

This means instead of gliding smoothly - your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning - but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

Hyaluronic acid works so well because it is like “joint oil.” It is a natural substance and is one of the natural building blocks of the synovial fluid that lubricates your knee.

Scientists and researchers discovered this natural building block to synovial fluid in the rooster’s comb - that big red thing on top of the roosters head. It is extracted from the roosters comb, purified and concentrated.

When it is injected directly into your knee joint, it is like squirting oil on a rusty door hinge.

Hyaluronic acid allows your joints to glide more smoothly eliminating a lot of the rubbing, grinding and pain.

Why You Should Try This Even If You’ve Already Had Similar Treatments Without results...

“We have been able to help so many knee pain sufferers - even many who have already tried other injections like Synvisc, Supartz, Orthovisc and even Hyalgan. We use special and very advanced low-dose videofluoroscopy imaging called “Hologic Digital Imaging” so we can see right into the joint. This allows us to put the Hyalgan exactly where it needs to be. Studies show doctors doing joint injections without fluoroscopy miss the joint up to 30% of the time.” said the director of Arthritis Treatment at Osteo Relief Institute.

Osteo Relief Institute is a state of the art medical facility offering only the best technology.

And that’s not all - Osteo Relief Institute has a complete knee relief program called “P.A.C.E.” to make sure you get the most

Hyalgan Injected Directly Into Knee Joint Like “Joint Oil”

Research Shows Doctors Miss The Joint Space About 30% Of The Time Without Advance Imaging

Successful Treatment - Hyalgan being precisely injected directly into the knee joint using Hologic digital imaging. Advanced imaging allows treatments to be as precise as possible. Hyalgan can lubricate the joint and decrease pain.

Failed Treatment - the injection (and Hyalgan) misses the joint space. Research shows this occurs up to 30% of the time without the use of holistic digital imaging to guide the injection.

This is why Hyalgan may not have worked for you.

pain relief and the best possible results from treatment.

“Every case is individual.

Some patients get quite a bit of relief right away - others take a little more time. But most have been extremely happy and the results usually last for at least 6 months. Patients who were suffering for years with bad knee pain are getting their lives back... going for walks again and exercising. It’s amazing to see. They tell all their friends - that’s why we are swarmed. I can’t tell you how many patients have cancelled their total knee replacement surgeries.” added one of the doctors.

How To Get It If you have knee pain, the doctors and staff would like to invite you for a risk free screening to see if you are a candidate for Hyalgan treatments and the P.A.C.E program.

All you have to do is call 720-500-1045 right now and when the scheduling specialist answers the phone tell her you would like your free “Knee Pain Screening.” Your screening will only take about 25-30 minutes... you will get all your questions an-

swered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain.

But You Must Do This RIGHT NOW The specialists at Osteo Relief

Institute can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening. And because of the demand, we can only guarantee you a spot if you call within the next 48 hours.

If you are suffering in pain - make the call right now so you can make your appointment today. Why not take 20 minutes for your risk free screening to discover how you may be able to end your knee arthritis pain?

So call 720-500-1045 right now and find out if the experts at Osteo Relief Institute can help you like they have already helped thousands of others in your community.

And here’s something really important - Hyaluronic acid treatments and the P.A.C.E program are covered by most insurance and Medicare. To schedule your risk free screening, call 720-500-1045.

If You Can Answer Yes - You Are Eligible For A Knee Arthritis Screening With The Experts At Osteo Relief Institute Do you have pain and osteoarthritis (arthritis) of the knee?

Have you tried other treatments such as NSAIDS and other anti-inflammatory medications without success?

Have you already tried viscosupplementation (Hyalgan, Supartz, Synvisc) without satisfactory results?

If you answered yes to any of these questionscall Osteo Relief Institute and schedule your risk free knee pain screening screening 720-500-1045

‘A magnet’ for growth and business Mall reaches 20th anniversary as major destination for retail

By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com When Park Meadows mall was being built in the mid-1990s, some in the fledgling city of Lone Tree didn’t favor it — some didn’t even know what the massive structure near I-25 and County Line Road was going to be.

“When I first moved here, I was signing my kids up for soccer and I was telling one of the other parents how I moved here for Park Meadows. She said, ‘It’s so beautiful. I love that building. How many seniors is it going to house?’ ” said Pamela Schenck-Kelly, Park Meadows’ general manager for its 20-year existence. “I came back to the construction trailer the next day and said, ‘Folks, we have our work cut out for us.’ ” Sharon Van Ramshorst, one of Lone Tree’s first residents in the early 1980s, remembers that not everyone welcomed Park Meadows with open arms.

“Despite the fact that there were huge signs on the site that said ‘future mall,’ people would say, ‘I didn’t know there was a mall there’ and ‘We don’t want that mall,’ “ said Van Ramshorst, who served on city council from 2004 to 2012. “It was a small number of people, but they were very vocal.”

That isn’t the case anymore: The shopping center, one of the state’s most popular tourist destinations, has shaped what Lone Tree is today, city leaders say.

Park Meadows Retail Resort, billing itself as a lifestyle center rather than a shopping mall, opened its doors on Aug. 30, 1996. Twenty years later, it has proved to be Lone Tree’s economic and community engine, largely responsible for spurring development of the city, both commercial and residential.

Within its first year, Park Meadows opened 37 stores and restaurants new to the Denver metro area. It was home to

Shoppers come down the escalator at Park Meadows in Lone Tree. Photos by Mike DiFerdinando more than $1 million in artwork commissioned from Colorado artists and boasted 66-foot-tall fireplaces, wood-beamed ceilings and comfy leather seating throughout its mountain-themed, elegantly-appointed two floors.

The area surrounding Park Meadows became the focal point of business and discussion in the city, which had incorporated only a year before the mall’s opening with about 3,000 residents.

Today, Lone Tree is a city of more than 13,000 people expected to grow to 31,000 residents by 2035. Meanwhile, Park Meadows has grown to more than 200 stores

and restaurants. Last year, it brought in nearly $11 million in sales tax revenue for the city. That accounted for 47 percent of Lone Tree’s total sales tax haul.

“People are always asking me about Park Meadows or telling me they were in Lone Tree at this store or that store or they had dinner somewhere near Park Meadows,” Lone Tree Mayor Jackie Millet said. “It’s really a gathering place for the community.”

And without the benefit of the mall’s tax base, Lone Tree would be a totally different city, Van Ramhorst said.

“It’s made Lone Tree what Lone Tree is today,” Van Ramshorst said. “It’s hard to understand why anyone could have opposed that.”

Engine for the business community Lone Tree was a small community of roughly a square mile when it was incorporated in 1995. Over the years, the city annexed surrounding property — including the mall in January 2007 — so that today the community covers 9.6 square miles, stretching from County Line Road in the north past RidgeGate Parkway nearly to Castle Pines in the south.

The mall — which draws people from across Colorado as well as tourists visiting the metro area — created exposure Lone Tree didn’t previously have.

“For a lot of folks, Park Meadows put Lone Tree on the map,” Millet said. “Our popularity in the early years was linked to the mall.”

The partnership proved mutually beneficial.

“It was the first major commercial development in the city of Lone Tree,” said city Economic Development Director Jeff Howell.

Park Meadows now accounts for 1.5 million square feet of the city’s 3.6 million square feet of retail space and is the city’s largest source of sales tax revenue.

“It has been a draw for investment in the area,” Howell said. “People appreciate it and proximity to Park Meadows is important for local businesses.”

Lasinda Cranelli and her husband, Jim, own Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant at 10047 Park Meadows Drive, about two miles from the mall.

She estimates that five or six of every 10 people who eat at their restaurant are in the area because they were shopping at Park Meadows.

“It brings people in — not just for us, but for all of the shops and restaurants in the area,” Cranelli said. “With its location off of I-25, people come from all over.”

A recent survey by Visit Denver, a nonprofit group that markets the metro area, found Park Meadows to be one of the state’s top tourist destinations, ranking it eighth, a spot behind Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre.

“I come all the time to shop,” said Elizabeth Small of Denver, at Park Meadows

on a recent day. “My friends and I come and have lunch almost every week. It’s a fun place to come hang out.”

Friend Arielle Hornsby of Highlands Ranch agreed.

The mall, she said, is the best place to shop locally because of its large selection.

“They have all of my favorite places — you can find pretty much anything you’re looking for.”

But Park Meadows’ economic impact also extends beyond the immediate shopping area, business leaders say.

Bob Golden, president of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, based in Centennial, points to the growth of the RidgeGate residential area in Lone Tree — about 3 1/2 miles from the mall along I-25 — and the surrounding areas near Parker as examples of the continued draw to the region.

“Park Meadows was a magnet for business and growth 20 years ago,” Golden said, “and it still is today.”

Evolving with the times Park Meadows opened with a commitment to be “experiential” and “experimental,” Schenck-Kelly said.

“You might want a new shirt, but it’s unlikely that you need a new shirt,” she said. “Under those circumstances, the experience of shopping and having the kind of merchandise that people want has become more important than it even was 20 years ago.”

The key to Park Meadows’ success over the years has been anticipating trends and reacting to them quickly, SchenckKelly said.

“Twenty years ago, when we opened, if you could react to something in a 12- to 18-month period with what was happening on a trend, that was good. You would be able to ride that wave,” she said. “Ten years later, you needed to react in a six- to 12-month period. Five years after that, you had three months. Now, I swear we don’t even have three weeks.”

When looking for new retailers, a certain amount of risk is involved.

“Tesla, that was a risk,” Schenck-Kelly said. “ I can’t tell you how many people thought we were crazy for putting an electric car store in the shopping center.

People would say to me: ‘How’s that going to work?’ ” Tesla was one of several new retailers to open in the past few years. Other recent additions include Lolli and Pops, an oldfashioned candy store, the outdoor clothing and equipment retailer L.L. Bean, and Wrangler, which sells jeans and Western wear. An Amazon store, which will sell its own tablets and reading devices, will open at Park Meadows in September.

will be key to Park Meadows’ success in the future, said Schenck-Kelly, who envisions Park Meadows also being a place where people can find things they simply can’t buy online.

“People need technology. They need the things to make their lives better, but I also think you are going to see nostalgia,” she said. “You’re going to see those things that people long for.”

Fitness and health are also becoming increasingly popular, she said.

“If I were going to predict anything, I would say that health, wellness and fitness will be an integral part of its own mall category,” Schenck-Kelly said. “It will be more than just a yoga pant. It will be things that come out of that type of lifestyle. You may have health coaching.

People are going to be as passionate about their internal health as they are about their external appearance.”

But regardless of how Park Meadows keeps people coming through its

doors, city and community leaders say it will continue to be a major player in the growth and maturity of the city.

“I see Park Meadows increasing in its value to the business and residential community in the years to come,” said Mary Martin, president of the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. “Its location could not be more ideal, with easy access off 470 and a wide variety of businesses and restaurants to enjoy.

“It is,” she said, “a true destination, both for residents and for tourists.”

Cherry Creek downs Arapahoe Bruins surge to first-half lead, hold on to beat Warriors

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek mounted a touchdown drive on its second possession that set the tone as the Bruins controlled the tempo of play and led 21-3 at halftime. Arapahoe came out fired up in the second half but couldn’t close the gap as Cherry Creek won, 28-3, on Sept. 15.

“We are happy to get this win and move on,” Bruins coach Dave Logan said.

“We did some good things, particularly in the first half but didn’t play quite that well in the second half. We are a young team, with five sophomores starting on offense Football continues on Page 31

Basketball is the only high school team sport in the state without a mercy rule, but the Colorado High School Activities Association Board of Directors is scheduled to vote on adopting one at its Oct. 5 meeting.

The proposed rule for boys and girls basketball would start a running clock if a team leads by 40 points or more at the end of the third quarter. The clock would stop only for timeouts or injuries.

If the board adopts the mercy rule, it would be enforced for the 2016-17 season.

Administrators Jim Benton and coaches are OVERTIME lining up on both sides. Those in favor of implementing the rule argue it could spare the losing team the humiliation of a major blowout. Those against the rule contend it takes time away from players who might not see action in a close game.

“I’m in favor of it,” said Mark Duitsman, Lutheran girls basketball coach and athletic director. “I have been on both sides of a lopsided score and I see teachable moments in both circumstances, but I don’t see the rule impacting those lessons.”

Many coaches don’t like the proposed rule change.

“I’m not in favor of changes,” ThunderRidge boys coach Joe Ortiz said. “When we get up a lot on an opponent, we sub out. I hate giving up the playing time for our subs that don’t get very much playing time.”

Cherry Creek girls coach Chris Curneen agrees.

“Every minute of court time is valuable,” he said. “Once I get up by a comfortable margin, I usually use the extra minutes to get some of my younger players some valuable playing time.”

Highlands Ranch girls coach Caryn Jarocki brings up another point against the mercy rule.

“Teams can work on things regardless of the score and regardless of if they are winning or losing,” she said. “On a lesser note, the mercy rule affects teams in regard to the record books. All records have been derived from teams playing full games for a full season, not shortened ones. Those teams/players are essentially being penalized with shortened games.”

Blue night scheduled It is gratifying when differences and rivalries are put aside in a show of support for a person or issue.

Lions post shutout against the Trojans Littleton records 3-0 soccer win over Thornton

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com It was a matchup of young teams as Littleton and Thornton met in boys soccer on Sept. 16 at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Each team pushed the attack and each presented a stubborn defense. Thornton goalie Alex Bocanegra made three diving saves to keep the game scoreless early.

Despite the play of Bocanegra and the defenders in front of him, Littleton won the game, 3-0.

“We are a very young team this year,” Lions coach Pedja Vajzovic said. “There is a lot of inexperience on our varsity but they have soccer backgrounds, they are playing well and we se improvement in our play every game.”

He said there are no superstars on the team but the chemistry is good despite some unfortunate challenges.

“Because of injuries and illness, it has not been possible to put the same starting lineup on the field two games in a row,” he said. “For example, we had two senior captains and have lost both of them to injuries. That has meant a couple of young kids had to step up and

fill the gaps. This is our last non-league game so we must be ready next week because we are in a tough league and we know none of the upcoming games will be easy.”

Key moments Littleton broke the scoreless tie late in the first half when Alexis Valles broke away from defenders and drove a low, line-drive shot into the net past the diving goalie. Littleton scored again on a breakaway goal by Omar Serrano early in the second half. The final Lions’ score came with a little more than 20 minutes left in the game. Littleton’s attack drove in near the goal and Ethan Schwarz fired a shot at the net that caromed off a defender and into the goal to make the score 3-0.

Thornton was awarded a penalty shot for a foul in the goalie box with seven seconds left on the clock. Trojan goalie Bocanegra took the shot. He drilled a line drive shot at the corner of the net but Lion goalie Kevin Gutierrez dove and deflected the shot back up the field to preserve the shutout.

Valor improved to 11-0 with another mercy-rule win and downed the Spartans (12-1) in a 12-2 non-league victory.

Key players/statistics Schwarz, Valles and Serrano were each credited with unassisted goals. The Lions took 16 shots on goal and Gutierrez made six saves.

Farmers were the only team to beat state champion Valor last season.

“Our kids continue to play with poise and with determination,” Atencio said.

“We start league play against rival Wheat Ridge. They are a formidable program and will give us all we can handle.

D’Evelyn and Mullen will also be tough for us.”

Young Pirates compete at invitational

Trevor Foma picks up the pace as he heads for the finish line during the Sept. 13 Cardinal Invitational Cross Country Meet.

Foma was the first Englewood runner to finish the race as he placed 56th in the field of 141 runners with a time of 20:13.

Englewood joins 26-team field at Cardinal Cross Country Meet

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The young Englewood runners who enjoyed success in early meets faced their biggest test of the season so far as they joined the field of 26 teams at the Cardinal Invitational Cross Country Meet.

The ground under the 5-kilometer course that looped around Elizabeth High School Stadium shook as hundreds of runners took part in the competition on Sept. 13. Runners representing 26 schools entered the competition. There were four different races: boys and girls open divisions and boys and girls varsity races.

The course began and ended in the stadium, following a circular course up and down the hills in the area.

“We are a young team, but our numbers are growing,” Pirates coach Ryan Wess said before the meet. “Two years ago we had three runners, last year we had 12, and this year we have 18 athletes on the roster. The turnout for the boys has been good with 14 runners on the team. Unfortunately, we only have four girls, so we don’t have enough runners to enter as a team. We just keep trying to convince more girls to join us. But the girls who are running with us are competing as individuals.”

He said the program is growing and the growth is aided by the fact that Englewood now has a summer cross country program, which brought success as the Pirates finished first in the two five-team meets they ran earlier in the season. But he said this will be a tougher test because the Pirates will be going against good runners from a lot of different schools.

Cross country is an individual and a team competition. The first runner across the finish line is the medalist. But runners also earn team points according to where they finish in the field. The first finisher gets one point and the 10th finisher gets 10 points. A team can enter seven runners but

the points earned by the top five finishers make up the team total and the team with the lower score wins the meet team title.

Key moments The sun was shining as the boys open race started but clouds rolled in from the west as the day went on. The varsity boys were on the course when there were sprinkles of raindrops. However, because of the possibility of lightning, the girls race was started early, and about halfway through the girls race it was announced there was lightning within six miles of the stadium and people were urged to go into the high school building. The light rain fell on and off but the girls race was finished without another lightning warning.

Key players/statistics Englewood was one of 21 teams com-

peting in the boys varsity race. D’Evelyn won the team trophy with 80 points and Englewood finished 18th with 473 points.

Sophomore Trevor Fama was the first Pirate across the line as he finished 56th in the field of 141 runners with a time of 20:13. Freshman Dustin Trevino came in second for Englewood, as he was 84th.

The other Pirates in the race and their places were Zach Avjean, 106th, Joris Alawoe, 116th, John Altenhofen, 130th, Chase Coupe, 132nd, and Ethan Cuenca, 141st.

Milagros Hernandez-Vasquez was the only Pirate to finish the girls varsity race as she was 100th in the field of 121 with a time of 27:40.

They said it Trevor Fama said he likes to run and got started in middle school.

“I enjoy the feeling I get when I run with my teammates and I like the feeling I get when my time in a race is better than the time I had in the race before,” he said.

He said cross country requires a lot of training and dedication to be able to set and keep a pace but still have the energy to pick up the pace in the home stretch.

He said he hoped to keep improving his time so he can help his team qualify for state.

Going forward The Pirates’ only home meet, the Windjammer Invitational, will be held Oct. 8. The five-kilometer course will begin and end at locations in the Hosanna Sports Complex north of the Englewood High School campus. Traditionally, 20 to 25 teams take part in the meet.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 19, 2016 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) After much traveling this year, you’re due for some settled time with family and friends. Use this period to check out situations that soon will require a lot of serious decision-making.
