Stone ordered for veterans memorial Monument to be placed at Englewood High School

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Creation of the Englewood High School Military Memorial became more than a plan in early May, when Kay Howard, who is spearheading the effort to create the memorial, placed the order for the stone that will be the centerpiece of the project.

Englewood is preparing to launch a pilot solar project to provide power for the parks and recreation department pumping station at Belleview Park.

Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager, explained the proposal to the city council at the May 19 study session.

“The council talked about funding a number of projects, including purchasing panels in the solar garden,” he said. “Staff looked at the solar panel project and suggested a pilot program purchasing panels to provide energy credits for a high energy use location. The suggested location is the pumping station at Belleview Park.”

The community-owned solar garden is located on almost four acres of land in Aurora and is operated and maintained

by Clean Energy Collective. The company allows residents, businesses and municipalities from Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson counties to purchase solar panels and receive monthly credits from Xcel Energy for the power produced by those panels.

Flaherty told the council that Michael

“The pentagon-shaped stone, ordered from a quarry in Lyons, is Colorado rose granite,” she said. “It will weigh about 6,000 pounds when it is delivered.”

The seals of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard and National Guard will be placed on the monument. In addition, there will be a plaque honoring all men and women who have served in the military.

The monument is to be surrounded by stone pavers, with each paver honoring a veteran. Individuals, families and organizations are urged to purchase a paver as a

tribute to a specific service member.

There are three different size pavers that range in cost from $150 to $300. Each paver is designed to have the veteran’s name and service seal on it. Additionally, organizations or businesses can purchase pavers engraved with their logos to show support for the project.

Howard said she has also created a remembrance fund, and donations to the fund will be used to buy pavers for veterans who can’t afford them and for those who died in service to their country and no longer have family to purchase a paver in their memory.

She said there are spaces for about 200 pavers in the planned space for the memorial. While orders for pavers have been coming slowly, she said she has to engrave the pavers starting in August.

The dedication of the memorial is tentatively scheduled for November, when the school entrance construction is completed.

Law ensures juveniles get legal counsel Youths facing judge will be represented

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A new law guarantees that arrested juvenile defendants will receive a lawyer when they face a judge for the first time.

The law addresses a “concerning” statistic indicating that 45 percent of children go through the entire judicial process without having a lawyer present, according to Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, who sponsored the effort at the Legislature this year.

“This has been longstanding and a very serious problem,” Kagan said. “Our justice system is less robust if children are not getting counsel. This bill makes that right.”

The bill — which received bipartisan support from both legislative chambers — was signed into law on May 21 by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

After an arrest, judges have 48 hours to determine whether to release a child or keep the person behind bars, pending trial. The bill ensures that juveniles who are making their first court appearance after being arrested will have legal counsel available at the hearing.

Food is foundation of bridge to future As a family approaches the stand, Monse Hines smiles and offers: “Do you want a sample?”

“No,” Greg Elliott says. “We know it’s good.” He looks at his wife. “Two zucchini, two hots?” He glances at the small container on the table. “And a thing of this stuff.”

“OK,” Monse says. “Thirteen dollars.”

“Oh,” Greg says. “Give us one more of each.”

The “each” is a pupusa, a traditional El Salvadoran food the size of a small tortilla made of corn masa filled with various ingredients — in this case, beans or zucchini, corn chile poblano and mozzarella or the “hot” mirasol roasted peppers. The “stuff” is curtido, a pickled cabbage slaw, also from El Salvador.

“We tried them last summer,” Greg says, “and we really got hooked on them.”

And, adds his wife, Danielle, there’s Monse (pronounced Mohn-seh). “She’s very sweet.”

Monse Hines is sweet. She is small with earnest brown eyes and long, brown hair casually pulled into a ponytail. She wears faded jeans with a blush pink blouse and a silver necklace with a medallion of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus. Her nails are bluntly cut, no polish. Her smile is friendly and easy, like the conversation with her customers, many of them regulars at this farmers’ market.

But don’t be fooled.

Monse Hines, 34, is bold and brave, too — so much so that she made her entrepreneurial dream come true, one small, risky step at a time. And she did it despite being a newcomer to this country, this language, this culture.

In a few short years, she has built a business that could be her family’s future. In the process, she has firmly cemented the roots of her El Salvadoran home into the foundation of her new one — adding yet another cultural ingredient to the melting-pot land we live in.

“I think we all have the ability to come out ahead,” she says, intently, in Spanish.

“Solo se necesita un sueño.” All you need is

a dream.

Flavored with heaps of determination.

“No existe la suerte,” she says. “Cada quien se hace la suerte.” Luck doesn’t exist.

Each person makes his own luck.

Monse should know.

She was born in a Salvadoran town so small it doesn’t have a stoplight and there are few cars, anyway. Her parents taught in a high school in a nearby city, about half the size of Colorado Springs, where she lives now with her Army husband and two daughters.

She met her husband in Germany, where she had traveled for a yearlong exchange program while in college. She wanted to learn German, so she sold her car and just about everything she owned to finance the trip. Friends took her to an Oktoberfest, and while she was dancing, Timothy Hines, stationed at a nearby Army base, began talking to her in English.

“I asked him why he was talking to me in English — we are in Germany,” Monse remembers, with a smile.

Three months later, they flew home to his family in Texas and married on Thanksgiving Day. They celebrate their 10th anniversary this year.

It was in 2011 — Tim was deployed for a year in Afghanistan — that Monse’s dream emerged. Her sister took her to a Whole Foods. She recalls the wonder. “Everything was so pretty,” she says. “There, my vision started — a healthy product in this supermarket.”

After deciding that her pupusas and curtido would be gluten-free and use only organic and non-genetically modified in-

gredients, she began researching on the Internet: How to get a license to sell a food product. How to make a label. How to package according to health department regulations. Who had the best prices.

Everything had to be bought in small quantities because there was little money to invest — she and Tim had decided they would not take out loans. Each month, Monse would decide how much she could afford to spend. Maybe $100 one month.

She needed a Web page? Maybe $10 more another month for that.

Neighbors and family helped her navigate the English language and fill out paperwork. Her mother-in-law designed her label.

“We all have these angels who help us,” Monse says.

Then she won an audience at a Whole Foods in Colorado Springs. And, in June 2012, her curtido, under the name Monse’s Taste of El Salvador, first appeared on the store’s shelves. The pupusas followed two months later.

“No sé como explicarlo,” she says. I don’t know how to explain it. “To know that a company so big wants your products — it’s like being in a dreamland.”

Tim got home in time to make the first delivery. He was thrilled. “She decided `I’m going to do this’ and she did,” he says. “I was proud to come home and share this thing that was hers.”

He describes how, for Monse, food from her country was a way to introduce herself to families in the places they lived. “She would make something from El Salvador and nobody else would have it and it was something she could share.”

As a business, it does the same, opening a door between cultures. The niche “is hers and she can claim it — `This is how my mom and my grandma made it and I’ll use your ingredients to make something from my home,’” Tim says. “I think it’s really cool.”

These days, Monse has one employee to help her make about 7,000 pupusas a week.

They work from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. out of a

commercial kitchen space that is shared with five other entrepreneurs.

“We divide the cost so we can all survive,” Monse says. And she buys her produce from Pueblo and Colorado Springs farmers, so that the circle of local enterprise is complete.

Her products can be found in Whole Foods in Colorado Springs, Highlands Ranch, Southglenn and Belmar, and soon in a Natural Grocers in Colorado Springs.

The University of Colorado in Boulder buys about 4,000 pupusas a week to sell in its cafeterias.

“I can’t believe that this has happened to me,” Monse says. “I am grateful to God and to the support from this country. As a woman, too, I feel as if I’ve been able to better myself, that there are no barriers.”

The Army has relocated Tim to Oklahoma for three years, starting in mid-July. But they have decided Monse and the girls will remain here. They will travel back and forth to see each other. The business, they hope, will be their work after Tim retires.

“We have to make the sacrifice,” Monse says. “Si Dios quiere” — if God wills it, “the business can give us a better future for our daughters.”

A customer approaches Monse’s stand at a recent farmers’ market in Highlands Ranch. “Can I try one?” the woman asks.

“Which one is this?”

“Black bean,” Monse says, as she slices the pupusa that has been heating on the pan and tops it with a spoonful of curtido.

“Excellent,” the woman says, after a bite.

“You’re here every week?”

One more sale. One more convert. One more step toward a future built on a taste of the past.

Weather delays children’s farm opening Belleview Park attraction ready soon

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Belleview Children’s Farm in Englewood didn’t open as planned May 24, and likely is still a couple weeks away from opening.

Recent wintry weather is to blame as the spring snow has forced delays in the cleanup and preparations necessary before the farm will be ready to entertain the public.

“We didn’t suffer any farm damage from the snow, rain and hail,” said Joe Sack, the city’s recreational services manager. “But the weather did make it impossible to do so many things we need to get the farm ready to open.”

The Belleview Children’s Farm has been a popular attraction since it opened in Belleview Park in August 1967. Over the years, the farm area has been expanded, the barn has gotten new siding at least twice, and it has been painted a number of times.

When the farm is in operation, visitors can walk through the red barn to look at the small, glassedin areas for animals including rabbits and hamsters. Nearby, the barnyard is temporary home to a petting zoo-like area containing a variety of animals ranging from birds to cows, goats and pigs.

“Once we have all the preparations completed, we will be ready to bring in the animals,” Sack said. “Remember these are farm animals and not used to being the center of attention and being touched. So, we like to bring the animals in about 10 days before we open to let them recover from the move and get used to their new surroundings.”

He said the best estimate is the farm will be ready to open by midJune.

“In the past, we have had to delay the farm opening for a few days,” he said. “But this is the longest delay in memory. We are working to get everything ready as quickly as possible so we can open the doors so parents and children can enjoy a visit to the Belleview Children’s Farm.”

Coroner stepping down after five terms Commissioners approve promoting from within to replace Dobersen

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Longtime Arapahoe County Coroner Michael Dobersen has announced his retirement effective June 2, after serving five terms in the office.

First elected as a Republican in 1993, Dobersen hinted during his 2010 campaign that it would likely be his last. He told Colorado Community Media he wasn’t even sure he wanted to run again at that time.

“On the one side, it’s obviously a Dobersen stressful position,” he said. “Sometimes when I get up in the middle of the night to go to a crime scene, I think gosh, I’d like to be retired. But on the other side of the coin, this is the best job I’ve ever had.”

Dobersen has been a rarity among county coroners, having earned his medical degree from the University of Miami (Ohio).

Because he’s a licensed medical pathologist, term limits didn’t apply to him in Arapahoe County. He ran five successful campaigns, although he switched his party affiliation back to Democrat in 2006.

Dobersen asked the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners to appoint his second in command, Dr. Kelly Lear-Kaul, to serve out the remainder of his term. Sheriff

Dave Walcher also endorsed her, and they did so on May 21.

Nancy Doty, board chair, said Lear-Kaul is well qualified to serve, being a certified forensic pathologist.

“She is well respected in the coroner’s office, in Arapahoe County and within the forensic pathology community, and we are confident in her ability to lead the men and women of the coroner’s office,” she said in a news release.

The board agreed to pay her an annual salary of $220,000, more than the minimum of $87,000, because of her qualifications. She will perform many of the hundreds of autopsies that go through the office each year. Last year, the county investigated 2,664 deaths and did 450 autopsies.

Also last year, the coroner’s office was nationally accredited for the first time, becoming one of just four counties in the state and 77 in the nation.

Lear-Kaul joined the office in 2004. She earned her undergraduate degree in biology, biochemistry and molecular biology from Cornell College and her doctorate from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center School of Medicine.

She serves on a variety of boards and committees, including the Colorado State Child Fatality Prevention Review Team, the Sudden Unexpected Death in Childhood Medical and Investigative Advisory Board, the TriCounty Healthcare Coalition and the Arapahoe County Narcotic Prescription Drug Abuse Working Group. She is also an assistant professor in the pathology department at the UCHSC. “I want to thank the board for their consideration and support” said Lear-Kaul, who will be sworn in during a ceremony at 3:15 p.m. on May 30. “In our field, we find it is important to have a forensic pathologist serving in the role of the coroner, as we feel that expertise provides a better service to the citizens of Arapahoe County. This has been the standard for the last 30 years, and I look forward to continuing that great tradition.”

School funding measures signed into law Hundreds of millions of dollars to fund programs, construction for PreK-12

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com In front of a group of school children who are just starting to grasp basic arithmetic, Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 21 signed into law a pair of complex, multimillion dollar school finance measures.

The new laws will allow a state school finance system that was significantly strained by recession-era budget cuts to grow by nearly $500 million. The cash infusion will fund several areas of K-12 resources, including school construction and preschool, kindergarten and English language learner programs.

“We’re trying to make sure that each one of you guys gets every single advantage, every single chance, because your success is the future of this state,” Hickenlooper said during a bill signing that was held inside Aurora’s Ponderosa Elementary School.

new money is being reported and spent.

The funding includes a $110 million buy down of the so-called “negative factor” — recession-era funding cuts that slashed about $1 billion from the state’s K-12 budget.

The governor also signed into law the annual school finance act, which includes $27 million for English language learner programs and funds an additional 5,000 seats in preschool and kindergarten classrooms.

“This bill that the governor is about to sign will authorize 5,000 more kids next year going to publicly-funded, quality preschool programs than what was possible the year before,” said Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, a bill sponsor.

Additionally, per-pupil funding for next school year will jump to $7,021, a 5 percent increase.

“That’s almost $400 for every one of you students,” Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, told the children in the audience. “So imagine if you came through the doors this morning and we handed $400 to each one of you. It would be pretty good stuff.”

The funding efforts that the Legislature

passed this year were a response to last year’s failed Amendment 66 ballot measure, which sought to bolster school funding through tax increases.

No Republican lawmakers were present for the signing ceremony. However, the Student Success Act was co-sponsored

by Rep. Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, and both bills received bipartisan support at the Capitol.

Republicans who expressed concerns about the funding measures during the legislative process argued that the efforts do not go far enough in replacing “negative factor” dollars. GOP lawmakers also wanted school districts to have more control over how the money is spent, without state strings attached.

But Democratic lawmakers who attended the bill signing told students that they’re going to be in a better position to succeed because of the new funding.

“People worked really hard to cause us to fund education at a higher level; to be able to restore some of the money that was missing; to be able to cause you to have a better opportunity to be successful,” said Rep. John Buckner, D-Aurora.

New laws address child care costs Legislation closes loop hole that had prevented some from receiving assistance

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Three bills that became law last week aim to alleviate the high cost of child care in Colorado.

The laws, signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 22, address a number of financial areas and are a response to Colorado being the fifth least affordable state for child care.

A key piece of the package creates child care tax credits for families that make less than $25,000 a year.

The new credit — which is capped at $1,000 per family per year — is available to those who do not qualify for existing child care tax credits that are tied to federal returns.

“It’s a lot of money when you’re only making $25,000 a year and trying to pay for child care,” said Rep. Brittany Pettersen, DLakewood, a bill sponsor.

The bill fixes a loophole that disqualifies many low-income families from receiving

Calm After the Storm

a tax credit that was set up by the state in 1996.

The child care tax credit that the new law replaces applied to families that earn less than $60,000 a year. But that credit was tied to federal income taxes, which doesn’t apply to many low-income families because their earnings are sometimes too low to even have to file federal taxes.

Pettersen also co-sponsored a bill with Sen. Jeanne Nicholson, D-Black Hawk, that addresses cases when families receive pay increases at work that disqualifies them for continuing to receive child care assistance — a significant financial issue for families that has been dubbed the “cliff effect.”

The legislation sets up grant funding for the Cliff Effect Pilot Program, which allows families to phase out of assistance they receive through the Colorado Childcare Assistance Program, whenever they receive higher pay through their jobs.

“This bill helps parents seek jobs, promotions and pay raises without worrying about suddenly losing the assistance that helps them afford child care and be reliable employees,” Nicholson said through an emailed statement. “This will eliminate a hurdle, or disincentive, for families working towards financial security.”

Zoning hearing set for Shrine Club site Scaled-back plan features residential units, homes

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia. com Englewood City Council has scheduled a public hearing for June 2 over a request to rezone a half-acre at South Logan Street and East Floyd Avenue.

The hearing — to discuss whether a developer can build homes on the site — will be part of the 7:30 p.m. council meeting at the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Residents can sign up to testify at the hearing that night prior to its start.

The developer, Shadow Creek Homes, has purchased the former Englewood

englewood herald

Shrine Club and an adjacent home on the site, which is zoned R1C (residential on small lots). The company is requesting that the area be rezoned as a planned unit development so that it can construct two residential units in the Shrine Club building plus three single-family homes on the site.

Detached garages are planned for each of the single-family homes, and there would be an unfinished space built above each garage that homeowners could turn into rental apartments if they chose.

The building at Logan and Floyd was originally a church, according to city planner Brook Bell. The Shriners bought it in 1967 and received a variance to use it as the Englewood Shrine Club. It was put on the market last year.

“Shadow Creek Homes bought the Shrine Club and the house to the north, which makes the site slightly more than

half an acre, which is the minimum size for a planned unit development,” Bell said.

Representatives of Shadow Creek Homes held a neighborhood meeting in November to explain the proposal to build for-sale residential units. The original 2013 proposal was to create four apartments in the club building and build four cottages on the site.

Each cottage would have had a detached garage.

Residents at the November meeting voiced concerns that the project would create parking and traffic problems, and additional wear on the alley.

Bell noted recently that the number of residential units in the club building, and the number of single-family homes, have been reduced in the latest proposal.

“There was a public hearing before the planning and zoning commission on April 22,” he said. “The developer presented the scaled-back project proposal. Only one person (of eight residents present) who testified was concerned about the project creating parking problems for others in the neighborhood.

“The commission forwarded the rezoning request and recommended it be approved.”

Council gave unanimous approval to the first reading of the rezoning proposal and approved the request to hold the public hearing as part of the June 2 meeting.

Mayor Randy Penn said he was pleased that the developer listened to residents and scaled back the extent of the project.

“Serving up Strategy: Learn Supply Chain through the Beer Game.”

WhippleWood CPAs Conference Center at the Chamber 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 342, Centennial, CO

Friday, May 30: On May 13, almost 100 businesspeople attended a Business After Hours at the Project C.U.R.E. (Commission on Urgent Relief and Equipment) headquarters in Centennial, CO. This event featured three guided tours of the facility by the organization’s CEO and directors of government affairs and operations.

The tours gave participants insight into the overall vision of the organization, while providing a closer look into the facility’s operations.

“I enjoyed attending the networking event hosted by Project C.U.R.E. and the South Metro Chamber. It’s an incredible feeling to be inside a warehouse full of items we would typically throw in the garbage, but instead, these items are saving lives and healing people. They may not be in our community, but kindness knows no boundaries, thanks to Project C.U.R.E.,” said attendee Angel Tuccy, co-host of the Experience Pros Radio Show on AM 560 KLZ.

Project C.U.R.E.’s mission is to identify, solicit, collect, sort, and distribute medical supplies and services according to the imperative needs of the world. Volcano Asian Cuisine, a sushi and hibachi restaurant in Centennial, provided delicious appetizers for the group.

“We were honored to be chosen to host the Chamber’s Business After Hours and share the mission and vision of Project C.U.R.E. with business leaders of South Metro,” said Jan Mazotti, director of communications, marketing and PR. Dr. Douglas Jackson, the organization’s president/CEO, spoke to the group, outlining the great impact the organization has around the world. Each week they deliver approximately three semi-truck loads of donated medical supplies and equipment to desperately needy people around the world. Since 1987, they have delivered equipment and supplies to hospitals and clinics in over 130 countries.

Project C.U.R.E. is consistently recognized with the highest Four Star ranking from Charity Navigator, and was named by Forbes as one of the top 200 charities in America.

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Project C.U.R.E., bringing together our business leaders with a national leader in philanthropy,” said Marcia McGilley, interim CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber.

A team of South Metro Denver Chamber members continues to volunteer monthly at Project C.U.R.E.’s warehouse, sorting medical supplies for export.

opinions / yours and ours

Wildfire reports sound a call to action With the recent rain and hail that pounded much of the Front Range, bringing flooding to some areas, wildfires may not seem like an imminent threat. But trends tell us otherwise.

It’s not a matter of if, but when.

Earlier this spring, the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control released some chilling information in a special report to the governor and General Assembly. The report focused on strategies to enhance the state’s aerial firefighting capabilities. In making its case for that, the report stated that since the 1990s, “the number, intensity, and complexity of wildfires in Colorado have been growing exponentially, and experts predict that it will continue to worsen.”

The length of the wildfire season is growing, too, the report said.

our view “In general, Colorado sees short periods of increased fire occurrence throughout the year with just a few of the fires reaching a significant size or complexity.

However, the drought conditions and fire activity experienced throughout 2012 — one of the worst wildfire seasons in state history — may be representative of a new normal. Experts warn that drought and the other causal factors could result in repeats of 2012 with widespread fire activity and extended, year-long wildfire seasons.”

In recent months, several reports have

blamed wildfire trends like this across the West on global warming, perhaps further evidence of a “new normal.”

Given the bigger picture, it’s difficult for us to find solace in the mid-May prediction by state experts of a “normal” 2014 wildfire season. Even a pre-2012 “normal” means an average year in Colorado would see thousands of fires, with 30 of them being large, destructive blazes. But if 2012 — when 260,000 acres in the state were scorched, more than 600 structures destroyed and six people killed — is a sign of things to come, that’s truly alarming.

To their credit, state legislators and Gov. John Hickenlooper took action this past session. On May 12, Hickenlooper signed into law a bill creating the state’s first aerial firefighting fleet. The legislation, which comes with a $21 million price tag,

creates a fleet of four planes — two leased and two owned by the state — and four leased helicopters and designates money for a center to study high-tech firefighting tactics.

The primary goal, as outlined in the division of fire prevention’s report, is to keep fires small. If the fleet can help cut down on an average year’s $42 million in fire-suppression-expenses, while saving lives, acres and property, it will be money well spent.

One thing is for certain when it comes to wildfires in Colorado: Inaction is not an option. With the ominous reports that have surfaced, lawmakers here and in other Western states would be wise to read and react for years to come.

Newest may not be the greatest

Movies shouldn’t feel like being assaulted “Badges? We ain’t got no badges. I don’t have to show you any stinking badges.”

Name it and claim it. Alfonso Badoya. He was “Gold Hat” in a great film. Answer at the end.

I make frequent references to films in my columns. I was almost a theater arts major, and if I had been I would have been on track to be a director. My school’s theater arts program has graduated some well-known directors and actors and actresses and others associated with the industry. Ultimately, I wanted to make individual pictures, not reels of them. There was another roadblock: people. Have you ever watched the credits? It takes 10 minutes. Hundreds of people are involved. I am not good with or around people.

I no longer go to theaters. I watch films here at home. Very few of them are recent. I don’t like gun work. The f-word is used as if it is a throwaway. A gimme. Five hundred and six times in “The Wolf of Wall Street.” Come on. Aren’t there other words? For anger, anxiety, disapproval, description? It’s funny how we seem to seek the action, and give it a bad connotation.

I watch documentaries. I watch films that aren’t blockbusters. Blockbusters are for someone else. I love cinema too much to watch a blockbuster. Action films are not welcome. I read the newspaper, I don’t need to pay to see the kind of crap that people do to people.

Give me a Benjamin, free tickets to a Quentin Tarantino? No thanks.

I didn’t see a single film that was nominated for an Academy Award. A good pal is married to a Disney executive, and he has home access to all of the nominated films every year.

She said, “You missed out on some good movies last year.”

I am sure I did.

I just don’t want to watch people killing each other. But you do. “Captain America Something” is No. 1 right now.

I guess some people go to movies to disconnect from the real world. But this garbage

is the real world. How can someone read about Claire Davis and still go to Tarantino?

Cry all you want and light all of the candles you want to light. Subscribe to “Memorial Stuffed Animals.” And then pay to see someone be killed. We escape in the film. From what? The things we escape from are right there in the movies you pay to see.

Something is wrong (with you). If you don’t want to be scolded, read someone else.

Tarantino is a complete idiot. Tarantino is a complete genius, because he knows his audience is Jerry-Jerry-Jerry morons.

I get angry. Don’t I? Why would anyone go to see “The Dark Knight Rises” in the first place? At midnight. With your children.

You are what you eat, and if you eat the kind of movies that you are fed, you must not cry. It’s called duplicity.

Do you care about the Nigerian schoolgirls? Women on buses in India? Have you done your reading about Chicago lately?

And then you and the girl go to see “Captain America.” I am probably alienating some of my audience. Good. It’s not dachshunds and Jennifer every week.

Try. Try watching something good.

“Amelie.” Cocteau’s “Beauty and the Beast.”

“Bully.” “Five Easy Pieces.”

I know it’s hopeless. You look forward to the Super Bowl halftime, and think it’s worthwhile. It is the opposite.

“Treasure of the Sierra Madre.”

With so much content and so many authors and experts who write about the trends in the field of personal and professional development, sales training, leadership and customer service, I am often asked by customers for the latest and greatest material in these areas. They are looking for that something new or a silver bullet, some magic dust or cure-all pill to fix their problems, their people, or in some cases, themselves.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am a huge advocate of growth and I am all for continuing education whether that comes in the form of reading, listening, watching, participating in seminars, or cloud learning through socialization of ideas, or any other medium, for that matter, that takes us and/or our teams to a higher level.

Any attempt at upping our game in anything we do or endeavor to do is to be applauded. And when I am asked for specific advice or recommendation for a good book or program to attend, I love to share thoughts and ideas as well as happily recommend something provocative that I have recently read or participated in. But my favorite thing to do is remind people that it is not necessarily “what’s new” that works … it’s really all about “what works” that works.

Sometimes the latest and greatest writings or advice is adopted quickly as a trend or fad, but soon meld into some remnant of a concept or philosophy that was written and practiced long ago. I still

South Platte River area could get makeover Trail improvements, amphitheater among plans

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The South Platte Working Group is hoping its first public/private partnership will offer a boost to Riverside Downs shopping complex, on Belleview Avenue just west of Santa Fe Drive, and beautify the entire area.

“We’re looking at how to start to create this new environment by the river,” said Councilmember Debbie Brinkman, Littleton City Council’s representative on SPWG. Council on May 20 unanimously approved dedicated open-space funds to complete a study that would define how to better tie the center into the Mary Carter Greenway and the South Platte River, widely regarded as underutilized assets in Littleton — something the SPWG has been working to change. “(Our goal) is to embrace many types of adjacent land uses and recognize that the community’s historic relationship to the Platte River is part of the history of this river and part of richness of the visitor’s experience,” reads the 56-page report the group released in March. “The diversity of experience and expression of the community’s

evolving relationship with the Platte river is to be celebrated, not homogenized.”

Convened in 2006 by Arapahoe County, SPWG comprises 21 local jurisdictions and agencies that have contributed more than $25 million for projects so far. Members hope the county will agree to partner with Littleton on work to the public land that lies south of Riverside Downs, which would pay for improvements on its own property.

“We want to bring walkers, bike riders and shoppers together and give them safe places to go,” said Brinkman.

A concept by OHM Design depicts a small amphitheater facing the river on the south end of the shopping complex. Footpaths would lead from there to the river, and the area between might have shade structures, bocce ball, stone benches, public art and a cobble beach from where people could dangle their toes in the water.

Brinkman noted it’s already a common sight to see people parking in the lot and heading out for a walk or bike ride from there. “People want to access the trail,” said Brinkman. “We already know we don’t have enough trailheads, and now people are starting to create their own.”

Access to Belleview Avenue would be improved, and a gateway feature would be added there, said Brinkman. If all goes well, construction could start next fall.

NEWS IN A HURRY Residents receive surveys The City of Englewood is asking the 1,200 randomly-selected household their opinions and comments about city services and activities by means of a citizen survey.

The residents were first notified by postcard they were being asked to complete the survey and then the survey was mailed to them in mid-May. The city contracted with the National Research Center in Boulder to conduct the survey that is part of a national survey offered by the National League of Cities. The survey is customized for Englewood. Those who received the survey are asked to complete it and return it in the stamped, self-addressed envelope.

A report of the survey results should be available in late July and will be posted on the city’s website. Residents who didn’t receive a survey can complete a shorter version online by going to www.englewoodgov.org/2014-citizen-survey. The online version will be available until June 13.

Ballots in the mail soon Mail-in ballots for the party primary election will be sent out starting June 2 to Arapahoe County residents who are active registered as members of the Democratic, Republican or American Constitutional Party.

The primary election determines which candidate represents his or her party on the ballot for the Nov. 4 general election to

fill local, state and congressional positions.

For more information about the mailin ballot or the primary election, call the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s election office at 303-795-4511.

Judge appointed Colorado Supreme Court Chief Justice Nancy Rice has appointed District Court Judge Carlos Samour Jr. as the new chief judge for the 18th Judicial District.

Samour replaced Chief Judge William

Sylvester, who was named to the post in October 2006. The appointment becomes effective July 1, the date of Sylvester’s retirement.

Judge Samour is a Columbine High School graduate, graduated with honors from the University of Colorado at Denver with a degree in psychology and received his law degree from the University of Denver. He was in private practice for about 10 years and was appointed as a district court judge in 2006.

CRIME BRIEFS Burglary suspect chased down

Englewood police tracked down and chased down a 31-year-old man suspected of burglarizing a home.

Officers went to the 3200 block of South Elati Street about 6:45 p.m. May 25 to investigate a report of a burglary. A witness reported seeing an unknown man coming out of the house carrying a large black backpack. The suspect reportedly left the area on a blue mountain bike before officers arrived Police checked the area and located a man matching the description near South Broadway and Floyd Avenue. The suspect reportedly first tried to escape police on his bicycle and, when that was unsuccessful, he dumped the bike in the area of South Sherman Street and East Jefferson Avenue and took off running.

Officers eventually captured and arrested the suspect in the 3600 block of South Lincoln Street. The suspect, a 31-year-old man, reportedly had taken some methamphetamine. He was taken to Swedish Medical Center for treatment.

The incident happened about 3:20 p.m.

May 23 when the Englewood Fire Department went to the scene of an injury accident at South Broadway and East Nassau Avenue.

According to the report, as the fire truck was pulling in behind the accident, another car tried to pass the fire truck but hit the left front of it. The driver of the car apparently lost control and hit a building in the 4100 block of South Broadway.

The car’s drive, a 46-year-old man, reportedly got out of the vehicle and tried to run from the scene. However, firefighters caught the man and held him until Englewood police officers arrived and arrested the suspect. recreational activities. So even with all the technology and gadgetry available to us, it really isn’t about “what’s new” that works, it is about finding “what works” that works.

Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com.

Pot law aims to protect kids

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A Highlands Ranch legislator hopes that a new marijuana law will help keep the drug out of the hands of children.

Gov. John Hickenlooper on May 21 signed into law a bill that aims to distinguish cannabis-infused edibles like candy and cookies from other foods so that kids don’t accidentally consume the drug.

Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch, a bill sponsor, said that by requiring edibles to be packaged in a way that makes them easy to identify as containing marijuana, fewer children would end up having to be

hospitalized for accidental ingestion.

“It certainly gives parents and teachers and school resource officers the tool that they need to identify these things and keep them out of kids’ hands,” McNulty said.

The bill was signed at Children’s Hospital Colorado in Aurora, where nine children have been treated for marijuana ingestion so far this year. The bill creates a task force that will determine the rules to make marijuana edibles clearly identifiable. That includes what kinds of markings are on the packaging or on the edibles themselves.

The bill is a change from its original form, which sought to prohibit companies from “selling things that look like kid snacks, lacing

them with THC and turning around and selling them to adults,” McNulty said. However, that effort had to be pulled back after it ran into problems during the legislative process.

“I would have liked to have gone further, but we had to work within the process we had,” he said. “And I think the end product moves us to a direction of keeping kids safe.”

Hickenlooper also signed into law a separate bill that regulates the amount of concentrated marijuana that a person can possess.

Under Amendment 64, which was approved by voters in 2012, adults are allowed to possess up to an ounce of marijuana, regardless of whether it is in plant “bud” form or in concentrated form, such as hash oil.

But concentrated pot can contain many more servings than in plant form. The new law addresses that by requiring the state to determine how much concentrated pot is equal to an ounce of leafy marijuana.

Both bills received bipartisan sponsorship and support at the General Assembly.

Christian Sederberg, a marijuana attorney, said the Legislature did a good job this year in dealing with the new territory of legalized pot sales and consumption.

“At the end of the session, there were a number of responsible bills that add to the regulatory structure and provide opportunities for the program to continue to improve,” he said.

The dog days of summer do not have to be boring.

Centennial Center Park’s summer events offer an opportunity for fun for everyone from June through early August.

The events kick off at 6 p.m. June 7 with the Summer Blast Off, a free concert featuring tribute band The Long Run: Experience the Eagles, local artist Katey Laurel and the Aurora School of Rock. The kickoff event features food, music, children’s activities and fireworks.

The Summer Blast Off marks the grand re-opening of the amphitheater after it has been renovated to include a stage cover and built-in lights. The amphitheater, first used in summer 2013, initially required performers to bring their own lighting equipment, and the city realized that the amphitheater could be improved.

Allison Wittern, public information and special events manager for the city, said the stage cover will help accommodate acts.

“It makes it a little more attractive for entertainers to come,” she said.

The amphitheater is scheduled to reopen at the end of May, and Sheri Chadwick, director of communications for the city, said the renovations will allow larger national acts to come to the park in addition to local performers.

Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon has similar hopes for the amphitheater.

“These improvements will allow us to attract professional performances as well

as present a great venue for local artists and community performances,” Noon said.

But the park, which opened in 2012, is not limited to special events. It hosts Friday Film Fest the second and fourth Fridays of June and July. Each movie night features food vendors, entertainment and a familyfriendly movie that begins at dusk in the park. The entertainment for each night begins at 7 and is related to that night’s movie.

For example, tae kwon do demonstrations will be held prior to “Kung Fu Panda” and the water play area of the park will be open past its normal hours of operation to go along with the showing of “The Little Mermaid.”

Shoppers can enjoy the summer event series, too. The Centennial Farmers and Artisans Market runs Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 14 and July 12. The market features goods from local artisans as well as fresh produce from local Colorado companies and food trucks from restaurants like Little India and Crave-It Frozen Yogurt. Each market also features live music from local musicians.

The summer events series ends Aug. 9 with Centennial Under the Stars, a free outdoor concert featuring DSB: America’s Favorite Tribute to Journey. The event features food and activities for families and culminates in a laser light show. A special, final farmers market will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. in conjunction withe the concert.

Overall, the summer events series is intended to draw in families from all over Centennial.

“We hope the summer events will give friends and neighbors in Centennial a great opportunity to get outside and enjoy Centennial Center Park,” Chadwick said.

The park is located at 13050 E. Peakview Ave., Centennial.

Data center to be built in Douglas $20 million project gets tax break, fee waivers Staff report With preparations nearly complete, an Arizona-based IT firm is preparing to break ground on a 35,000-square-foot data center in unincorporated Douglas County.

OneNeck IT Solutions announced plans for a new $20 million, Tier 3+ data center on May 20. The data center will be built on 11.2 acres of land on Concord Center Drive, located south of Centennial Airport in the northern part of the county.

Once open, in early 2015, it will be the seventh data center owned and operated by OneNeck in the U.S. “We are excited to make this additional

investment in the Denver area,” said Phil LaForge, OneNeck president and CEO. “Our data center will be built to withstand natural disasters, which means area businesses can rest assured their IT infrastructure is safe, protected, and always accessible in our new Tier 3+ data center.”

The multi-phase project is designed for rapid expansion, in up to five phases, totaling 160,000 square feet. It will also be able to support data center modules. The project leverages a personal property tax rebate and construction fee waivers provided by the Douglas County commissioners.

in the construction of the building. Denverarea contractor JE Dunn Construction will coordinate the project with support from INVISION Architecture, Faith Technologies and North American Mechanical.

“We believe in providing an environment where businesses can succeed. For this reason, it is a pleasure to team up with OneNeck on their data center build, a project that will certainly add to our community’s economic growth,” Repella said.

When the doors open in 2015, the data center will resemble other OneNeck data centers in the Midwest. This facility will support common compliance requirements and will also include many state-of-the-industry features, such as: three-factor security authentication, including iris scanners for personnel identification; up to 16-inch-thick steel-reinforced concrete walls, roof and floors; VESDA fire detection system; Tier 4 electrical system

The facility will also deploy ReliaCloud to provide businesses with local cloud storage, LaForge said.

“We appreciate the county board’s support and trust in us,” LaForge added. “We look forward to maximizing this opportunity and, ultimately, to making it an economic success for the county, area businesses and OneNeck.”

The announcement follows the October 2013 news that MSN Communications, based in Arapahoe County’s Inverness area, was being acquired by Telephone and Data Systems. The acquisition and then unification as part of the OneNeck IT Solutions master brand adds to the company’s strategic direction, which includes building its Tier 3 data center portfolio and delivering tailored end-to-end IT solutions.

Elder-abuse law brings first charges Staff report In the first case under Colorado’s new elder-abuse law, five men have been indicted on charges of scamming seniors in a home-repair scheme.

“One man paid in excess of $24,000 for egregiously substandard work,” Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said in a written statement. “In another instance, a 94-year-old woman was swindled out of $8,300 for work that was structurally terrible and worth no more than $1,521.

“Evidence was developed alleging that when confronted, these men often became abusive,” Suthers added, “and in one instance, Rickey Gene Fite caused pain and injury to an older gentleman after knocking him to the ground with his truck.”

Fite has been taken into custody, as have his father, Rickey Dean Fite, and Rodney Jackson.

The two other men indicted, Michael Sullivan and Emanuel Broadway, were not immediately apprehended. The public is asked to call 911 or the Boulder District Attorney’s Office at 303-441-3700 with any information on their whereabouts.

The five men are accused of traveling throughout Colorado and the West, representing themselves as legitimate contractors. Instead, say prosecutors, they ran a “fly-by-night” operation that defrauded and stole from seniors, sometimes using intimidation and violence.

Operating in mostly rural areas of Arapahoe, Boulder, Delta, Jefferson, Larimer, Mesa, Montrose, Ouray and Weld counties, the men reportedly would approach homeowners unsolicited. They allegedly would offer a great deal on roofing or concrete work, claiming they had leftover materials from a nearby job.

“If a price was even quoted, it was low

tips to avoid getting scammed Never allow an uninvited contractor into your home to “look around” or make an “inspection.”

Never get pressured into making an immediate decision whether to hire a contractor to do any work on your home.

Before spending any significant amount of money on home repairs, get bids from at least three different contractors.

Check contractors’ history with the local Better Business Bureau.

Demand a written contract that spells out when the work will be started, the quality and type of all materials to be used, and when the work will be completed. Insist on making partial payments under the contract as specific work is completed to your satisfaction.

Require your contractor to obtain mechanic’s lien waivers from all suppliers and subcontractors.

and enticing,” says a press release from Suthers’ office. “However, sometimes work began without the homeowner’s permission. Always, though, the final price was hugely inflated in relation to the nature of the work done.”

Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett worked closely with Suthers on the case. “Protection of seniors from those who commit fraud and prey upon them financially has always been a priority for my office,” Garnett said in a statement. “This case involves allegations of particularly predatory behavior.”

Under the new law, Colorado seniors are legally considered to be at-risk adults, so tougher penalties apply. In addition, the indictment charges the five men with a range of crimes including money laundering, felony theft and tax evasion. If convicted, all five could face up to 24 years followed by five years of mandatory parole.

Charlie Daniels prepares to play his fiddle during his performance at the May 24 Volunteer Jam at Fiddler’s Green.

Daniels headlined the show that served as a tribute to volunteers.

There were 1,400 tickets distributed to military personnel, first responders and others. It started raining during the show, but many of the audience bundled up and stayed to hear him sing and play his fiddle.

Money will help music go mobile

FiDDLER’S GREEN

Charlie Daniels Band headlines series-opening show

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Members of the audience danced to the music and sang along with the artists at the Volunteer Jam held May 24 to open the concert series at the newly refurbished Fiddler’s Green.

The Volunteer Jam lineup included solo artist Craig Campbell and two country rock bands, Blackhawk and Outlaw. The bands were made up of primarily the same members, including lead singer Henry Paul. The featured artist of the night at the Greenwood Village venue was the Charlie Daniels Band.

However, the event had a special twist as promoter Chuck Morris deemed it a way to give back to the community and distributed an estimated 1,400 tickets to military personnel, the National Guard, the American Red Cross, first responders and city and state workers.

“I am here tonight for two reasons, because I like the music, particularly Charlie Daniels, and to say thank you for the ticket,” Missy Trent said as she took her seat. “I served four years on active duty and I am finishing up my third year with the reserves.”

The Douglas County resident said she appreciates the fact the promoter is saying thank you to people who serve the community by offering them the opportunity to see the bands and enjoy the evening.

“I like Blackhawk but I can’t wait to hear Charlie Daniels rock the place,” she said with a smile.

The second act on the program was the band Blackhawk. The group got a huge response before they took the stage as, in keeping with their way of doing things, the sound of drums filled the air and a Native American in full tribal dress danced onto the stage doing a spirit dance, blessing the stage, instruments and equipment.

Blackhawk took the stage and leader Henry Paul led the group. At one point he became half of a duo blending the sounds of their guitars in a blues number.

The Outlaws, a group that began in Tampa in 1967, followed Blackhawk to the stage but the look and makeup of the band was basically unchanged.

Paul, again the lead singer, warned the sizable audience to be prepared because they had been notified that rain might be rolling in.

The weather held off until Charlie Daniels was taking the stage. There were those who left but a good-size portion of the crowd donned rain gear or raised umbrellas in order to hear the 77-year-old performer sing, play the fiddle and entertain them.

“We are getting a little wet but Charlie (Daniels) never missed a beat,” Phil Silverman said as he and his wife gathered their rain gear around them. “We love his music and we’ll stay here as long as he is on stage. I work for the state and got our tickets. I want to say thanks to the organizers. Rain or no rain, this has been a great concert, we are enjoying it and the free tickets have made this a great date night.”

In celebration of its 35th anniversary, Swallow Hill Music in south Denver is delivering more music to more people in more places. And its latest effort to expand its music community comes with wheels.

A donor recently gave Swallow Hill Music a 1976 Silver Streak motor home, to be turned into a mobile music community. But, the ol’ girl needs a little TLC. A crowd-funding campaign with a goal of raising $10,000 launches today to help the Swallow Hill Music mobile home hit the road.

Contributions made over the next few weeks will get the Silver Steak running smoothly, add signage and give her an overall buff and shine. Once she’s up and running, she’ll turn into a mobile music community, providing Instrument Petting Zoos, impromptu performances and musical experiences throughout Denver.

Taking Swallow Hill Music on the road will boost Denver’s access to music education by transporting instruments and musical experiences throughout the metro area, meeting people where they live and enriching their lives through music.

Go wild

Sgt. Ron McKay, left, and Spc. Daniel Tramel provided some music as fans arrived for the May 24 Volunteer Jam at Fiddler’s Green. The two men are members of the 101st Airborne Band and were among the military personnel, first responders and other guests given tickets to the concert that opened the Fiddler’s Green season.

The Wildlife Experience is hosting Wildlife Art & Wine from 6-9 p.m. on June 6 at 10035 S. Peoria St. near Parker.

WineFest coming

Another great wine event, the 11th annual Castle Rock WineFest, is coming to the south suburbs on July 19. The outdoor wine tasting will feature more than two dozen Colorado wineries offering more than 180 varieties of Colorado wine.

The Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce’s festival presents an opportunity for wine lovers to indulge in tastings, wine seminars, cooking demos, fabulous food trucks, and live music by a popular local band.

The event will be held from 2-8 p.m. on July 19 at the grounds of The Grange in The Meadows at Historic Castle Rock (3692 Meadows Blvd.). For more information, visit www.castlerockwinefest.com.

The Choice City Stomp Music Festival returns on June 7 to Moe’s Original Bar B Que at 181 N. College Ave in Fort Collins. Tickets are $35 and available at Little Boxes Vintage or at www.choicecitystomp.com. Kids under 10 are free.

Overheard

Eavesdropping on two women on the Southwest light rail line in Englewood, discussing riders’ fashion choices: “I don’t know which is worst, the woman with the tube top or the guy with the saggy trousers?”

“Neither. It’s the guy who just got on with his fly open.”

A Native American dancer in full tribal attire does a spirit dance, blessing the stage, instruments and equipment during the May 24 Volunteer Jam at Fiddler’s Green. The band Blackhawk traditionally has the dancer do the spirit dance before they go on stage.

Concert recalls Englewood art-lover Wolosyn remembered as ‘always in motion’

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com A kinetic sculpture called “Duo” stands near the Englewood Civic Center, dedicated to the late, beloved Englewood Mayor Olga Wolosyn. Like the ever-moving sculpture, Olga was “always in motion,” said conductor Eric Bertoluzzi at the beginning of the annual Wolosyn Memorial Concert, “Shuffle,” held May 17 in Hampden Hall.

A professional potter, Wolosyn was in-

volved with the beginnings of the Englewood Arts Presents concerts and the city’s efforts to strengthen music and visual arts in the schools.

Bertoluzzi, a retired Colorado Symphony Orchestra cellist, was right there beside her through the startup years, and he keeps music programs in motion now.

The Up Close and Musical Ensemble, which performed the May 17 concert, has a rotating membership of about 14 musicians per performance, drawn from a pool of Colorado Symphony Orchestra members and other professional musicians in the area. They primarily perform in elementary schools, presenting informal programs for children who may not have experienced classical music.

This is the 26th year for Up Close and Musical, and they have visited 38 schools and given more than 130 concerts for students during the past school year. They hope to encourage kids to learn to play an instrument and enjoy making music with others.

Artists who performed on May 17 were: Concertmaster Erik Peterson; violins 1: Boram Kang, Anne-Marie Hoffman, Dorian Kincaid and Felix Petit; violins II: Allegra Wermuth, Cynthia Mancinelli, Robyn Julyan and Philip Ficsor; violas: Catherine Beeson, Philip Stevens, Anne Ainomae and Summer Rhodes; cellos: Danielle Guideri, Gal Faganel and Beth Rosbach; bass: Mary Reed.

The group performed music by Mozart, Grieg, Hindemith, Gershwin, Bartok and a young Texas composer, Jonathan Geer (born

in 1980), whose “Tango Suite for String Orchestra,” modeled after tangos by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, brought a Latin beat to the concert hall.

Geer performs on piano with the Austin Piazzolla Quintet, which is scheduled to appear in Englewood on April 10, 2015, in the Friday Evening Starlight Rhythms concert series, which offers a mix of jazz, bluegrass, gospel, world and folk music.

Englewood Arts Presents also has scheduled nine more Chamber Music of the Masters concerts on Saturdays for the 2014-2015 season, starting on Oct. 4.

For information, see the Englewood Arts Presents website at englewoodarts.org/concert-series/englewood-arts-presents/.

JUNE 12 FRACKING HYDRAULIC fracturing, or “fracking,” is a controversial method of extracting previously unavailable oil and gas reserves from the ground by fracturing rock by injecting pressurized fluids. Proponents claim that it opens up vast amounts of natural gas within the United States and could play a key role in the United States gaining energy independence within the not too distant future. Opponents claim that the chemicals used in fracking represent a significant environmental risk to ground water and other elements of the environment. Join Active Minds from 1-2:30 p.m. Thursday, June 12, as we explore the risks and benefits of fracking and put it into the broader context of U.S. Energy Policy. This Active Minds program is brought to you

by Health to You (H2U). Program is at Swedish Medical Center, Spruce Room A/B/C, 2nd Floor, 501 E Hampden Ave., Englewood.

RSVP at 303-788-7400.

Bruins come up short in finals Air Academy edges Cherry Creek in 5A state championship game

Cherry Creek’s Olivia List (3) drives toward the Air Academy goal during the May 22 Class 5A state girls lacrosse title game at the University of Denver. List scored four goals for the Bruins, yet Air Academy came out on top, 11-10, to take home the championship trophy. Photos by Tom Munds

Blair Sisk (11) moves into position for a shot during the May 22 Class 5A state girls lacrosse championship game against Air Academy. Sisk scored three goals for the Bruins but the Kadets edged the Bruins, 11-10, to claim the title.

The May 21 Class 5A state girls lacrosse championship game came down to the wire but Air Academy held off a determined Cherry Creek rally to win the title, 11-10.

“It was a championship game so you know the other team will be coming at you hard,” Bruins coach Bree Tierney said after the game. “We battled hard and came close but weren’t able to get those final goals we would have needed to win the game.”

Cherry Creek finished with a 12-7 record on the year, while Air Academy raised its overall record to 17-2 with the win at the Peter Barnum Stadium on the University of Denver Campus. Between them, the two teams have won the last nine state championships. The Bruins have won six and the Kadets three.

Despite their success, the Bruins, who won it all in 2013, weren’t expected by most to make it to the finals. And while the Kadets won two of their three tournament games by more than 10 goals to advance to the finals Cherry Creek won the quarterfinal and the semifinal games each by one goal.

Following an afternoon of heavy rain and hailstorms, the sky was clearing as the teams took to the field for the title tilt. Air Academy scored less than a minute into the game and the Bruins tied the score three minutes later.

Cherry Creek scored the next two goals and, about midway through the first half, the Kadets has scored three goals in a row to take a 4-3 advantage.

Cherry Creek re-seized the lead at 5-4 with 3:31 left in the half but after a late Kadet goal, things were all tied up at the break.

After Creek took a 7-5 lead early in the

second half, Air Academy did everything but put the game away, jumping ahead 11-7 with a series of quick tallies. Olivia List started a determined Cherry Creek comeback effort as she intercepted a Kadet pass and won the one-on-one matchup with the Air Academy goalie to make it 11-8.

The Bruins then pressed the attack and List scored again with 4:56 left in the game, and Caroline Perry scored 30 seconds later to make pull Cherry Creek within a goal.

The Bruins got off seven more shots in the final two minutes, but three sailed wide of the cage, defenders deflected two shots, one hit the goalie and one hit the cage. Air Academy regained possession of the ball and ran out the clock to preserve the win.

“The game was a little different than I expected,” Tierney said. “I expected us to shoot better and I thought we could shut down their attack a little better. That said I am proud of the way our girls refused to quit when Air Academy was up by four.

They put on a spurt at the end to make the game close and they should be proud of that effort.”

The coach noted the next few weeks will be time for the team to celebrate the good things about the season for the 11 seniors who graduated earlier in the day.

She said those seniors will be hard to replace but she feels she has a number of good players who will be ready to step up and battle for starting spots on the varsity team next spring.

Senior Sarah Cromer, who handles the draws for the team, finished the game with two assists. She said it was an emotional time for her and all the seniors on the team.

“We bonded as a team, overcame a lot of obstacles and made it to the state finals,” she said. “No one thought we would get very far in the finals.”

“There is a lot of emotion tonight because high school is over for those of us who are seniors. I take away the friendships I have made and the memories I have made from my time at Cherry Creek and my time on the girls lacrosse team.”

Youth baseball ready to go, one last time Englewood recreational diamond program enters final season

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Teams take to the field the week of June 2 for the opening of the final season for the Englewood recreational summer youth baseball program.

Dave Parks, program administrator, said the sign-up numbers are down a little from last year but there could be a flurry of registrations as the start of the season nears.

“It looks like we’ll have between 200 to 250 boys and girls playing baseball with us this season,” he said. “Our largest group will be playing T-ball which is pretty much the way it has been every year. We’ll have quite a few kids playing Panther League and Arapahoe League baseball but, for the second year in a row, it doesn’t

look like we’ll have enough kids sign up for the league for the 13to 15-year-old players.”

This is the final season for the recreation department-sponsored youth baseball program.

The program history is a little unclear but references in local newspapers report there were leagues for Englewood boys and girls playing in the early 1960s in the city park that was sold to the developer who built Cinderella City.

The program has had several names including Young America Youth Baseball and Englewood Youth Baseball.

The Englewood Parks and Recreation Department announced last year it would no longer be sponsoring youth sports programs primarily because of a lack of funding.

A number of Englewood individuals and organizations are working to make sure there are youth sports programs available to city residents.

The recreation departmentsponsored program has always focused on teaching the funda-

The young catcher and batter await a pitch during a 2012 Englewood Youth Baseball Program Panther League game. The Panther League will be in action for its final season, starting in June, because the Englewood Parks and Recreation Department is no longer organizing youth sports programs. File photo mentals of the game and promoting a program where the kids have fun playing baseball. That is why it is a recreational-level program which includes a rule that every player on the team must get

time in the field and must get at least one time at bat.

Because the program is open to such a wide range of ages, players are divided into four agegroup based leagues.

The youngest group, the 4- to 6-year olds will play T-Ball at Jason Park, 4299 S. Jason St. Game will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays. In T-ball, the players hit the ball off a rubber tee.

Coaches can work with the players on the field and no one keeps score in the games as the idea is to teach the kids the fundamentals of baseball and let them have fun playing the game.

The Panther League is for players 7 to 9 years old and the teams will play their games on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Miller Field. In this league, the bases are 60 feet apart and the batters face a pitching machine.

The Arapahoe League is for 10- to 12-years-olds. Their games are scheduled on 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on Brent Mayne Field, which is at Centennial Park located on West Union Avenue west of the South Platte River. Players are the pitchers, the bases are 90 feet apart and the game is played under high school rules.

The idea of a memorial to honor all Englewood High School students who served in the military service was born in 2009 during the 50th reunion of the school’s Class of 1959. The plan became the project to build the Englewood High School Military Memorial.

Howard, a 1959 EHS graduate, said she and her classmates talked about the school and the idea of a military memorial came

tributes to loved ones by putting flowers on graves.

“I’ve been doing this for 30 years now,” Charles Johnson said as he placed flowers on the grave of his brother Decell, who served in Korea. “I go to the grave of another brother in a different section of the cemetery and go to the private cemetery where my parents are buried.”

The Denver man said he visits the graves of relatives often and always on Memorial Day. He said coming to the graves of his brothers at Fort Logan makes Memorial

Hogan, public works facilities and operations manager, proposed a one-time purchase of solar panels to offset the cost of the pumping station energy use.

The pilot program would purchase 42 solar panels at a cost of $34,634. The solar garden owner-operator, Clean Energy Collective, estimates that the cost of purchasing the 42 panels will be equaled by energy credits in four years. Along with renewable energy credits, the savings could total $215,462 over the next 20 years, the company estimates.

Flaherty told the council the original funding for purchasing solar panels was

Before this law, juveniles were told that they have the option of speaking with a lawyer. But being told that they have that right and actually having a lawyer present are two different things, Kagan said.

“The kids are like a deer caught in headlights,” Kagan said. “They don’t have a clue.

They’re thinking one thing and one thing only — `How in the hell do I get out of these shackles? I’ll go along with anything that a person wearing a tie or a robe tells me to do.’ But they’re not the child’s lawyer.”

up.

“Originally, the suggestion was placing a bench in the school,” she said. “But, after talking with people at the school district and high school, we came up with the idea of a memorial in front of the school near the flagpole.”

The Englewood High School Military Memorial group has received nonprofit status, so donations are tax-deductible. For information on the memorial, the sizes and cost of the stone pavers or the proposal, call 303-740-8789. The organization also has an Englewood High School Military Memorial Facebook page at m.facebook.com/EnglewoodHighSchoolMilitaryMemorial.

Day special for him.

An American flag fluttered by the headstone of each of the 118,000 graves. Flowers at the headstone reflected personal remembrances. The flowers ranged from a large arrangement to a single rose.

Maria LaRoach wiped her eyes as she placed flowers at the grave of her brother.

“My brother died of wounds he received in the Gulf War,” the Arapahoe County resident said in a voice trembling with emotion. “I miss him and I bring flowers often. I attend the Memorial Day and the Veterans Or Day ceremonies here because it is about honoring veterans. Then I have my private time here at my brother’s grave. Usually I bring my two children with me because I can b don’t want his sacrifice or any veteran’s sacrifice forgotten.”

$30,000, so the council will be asked to approve an additional appropriation of $4,634 Zero to match the purchase price of the panels.

He said the pumping station is the best pilot program option for facilities main- & tained with money from the general fund. ww He said there is also a high energy use pumping station on the Broken Tee golf course. However, the golf course is an enterprise fund, so a project for solar panels A for that pumping station would be paid for with money from the golf course fund.

Councilmember Jill Wilson said she is N thrilled to see the city undertaking a solar energy project.

Fellow Councilmember Joe Jefferson agreed. He said the fact that the payback time is only four years is encouraging, and the project should save the city money in We the future by reducing the energy costs for He operating the pumping station.

The law also assists juveniles who are released from jail. When they receive a summons for their next court appearance, the summons will plainly state that they have a right “to a free lawyer” if they qualify financially, Kagan said. The summons will also have a phone number and website address to provide the youths with more information.

R Kagan hopes that this law will prevent children from being unnecessarily locked Inc up.

Lo “That child’s life can be impacted forever; locked into a bitter, angry, antisocial !! attitude and it is sometimes hard to recover and it persist for years,” Kagan said. “It’s a very serious issue and I’m delighted that we’re finally addressing it.” www

For the 27th year, the Subaru Elephant Rock Ride will unofficially kick off the start of cycling season on the Front Range.

The June 1 event in Castle Rock offers 100-, 62- and 32mile rides, along with a 27-mile fat tire ride, and an eightmile family fun ride.

“It really is a great time to start the season,” event director Scott Harris said. “The roads are getting clear, temperatures are warming up and people are starting to get into their training.”

The region’s largest cycling event will host live music, food and an expo showcasing the best of the outdoor industry. More than 60 vendors are expected to be at the expo.

As the largest cycling festival in Colorado, event officials say they expect a projected 7,500 cyclists in attendance.

“From the eight-mile family ride to the century course there’s something that’s right for everyone, even beginners,” Harris said.

Proceeds from the Subaru Elephant Rock Ride go to assisting several nonprofit partners in raising funds for their organizations.

In 2013, around $330,000 was raised on behalf of The Colorado Neurological Institute, Team Transplant, ALZ Stars, Team Zimbabwe, The Ride School of Denver and The Rocky Mountain Children’s Health Foundation.

The cost of the event is $85 for adults riding the 100and 62-mile courses, $6 for adults riding the 32- and 27mile courses, $50 for children riding the 32- and 27-mile courses and $40 for the eight-mile family ride.

Each rider will receive a ticket to a post-ride Italian lunch, a specially designed 2014 Subaru Elephant Rock Tshirt, a virtual goodie bag and a chance to win dozens of valuable prizes and a bike number and wristband.

Riders must wear their event wristband at all times. The wristband will provide access to the courses and refreshments at the aid stations and serve as a ticket to the post lunch and prize drawings at the post party.

Helmets are required for all rides. For the 100- and 62mile courses, riders must be at least 15 years of age.

Ride-day registration will be held at the Event Center at The Douglas County Fairgrounds from 4-8 p.m. May 31 and 5:30-9 a.m. June 1.

Camping is available at the Douglas County Fairgrounds on Saturday night for both tent camping and RV camper parking. The cost is $20 per campsite and RV spot.

“Cycling is fun alone, but there’s something special about riding in a group like this,” Harris said.

This year the Subaru Elephant Rock Ride is introducing a new race to the festival.

Douglas County’s Greenland Ranch open space will host Colorado’s 1st annual EROCK Sunrise to Sunset Front Range Relay Mountain Bike Race. The course is a fast 8.25mile loop with stunning views of Pikes Peak and the Rampart Range and will take place May 31.

The Sunrise to Sunset race is designed to offer recreational and competitive cyclists the opportunity to experience the thrill of competing in a challenging endurance race on a less technical off-road course.

The daylong race offers competitors with awards, prize packages and a post-race awards celebration.
