A cool idea sparked a fire of enthusiasm on Aug. 22, when about 400 Englewood High School students, staff members and district administrators took the Ice Bucket Challenge and poured icy water over their head to raise money for the ALS Association.

“A lot of people are taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, so I decided to urge all our students and staff here at Englewood High School to take the challenge,” said Paul Evans, EHS athletic director.

“I had hoped to get about 200 people involved and to raise about $1,000. The response blew me away. We had about 400 take the challenge today and we have raised $1,400 and we are still counting. I understand it is the biggest Ice Bucket Challenge in the state, by a school with just over 600 enrollment.”

Those who joined the Englewood High School Ice Bucket Challenge gathered on the football field and stood beside buckets filled with ice water. In preparation for the icy bath, the 400 participants on the field and more than 100 people in the stands watching the event told the world they were Pirates and challenged all the other schools to take the challenge to raise more money for the ALS Foundation.

“I came today because it is a way to help people,” Haleigh Clay, an EHS graduate, said after

These volunteers are among about 400 students, faculty and district administrators who took the Englewood High School Ice Bucket Challenge on Aug. 22. On the signal, all of the volunteers dumped a bucket of icy water over their heads to raise money for ALS research and those inflicted with the disease. dumping icy water over her head. “It was cold but it was fun. I am glad I was part of this event.”

Junior Tyler Hastings agreed the water was very cold.

“I’m in the Pirate band and our band director urged us to take part in the challenge,” he said as he dried his hair. “That water sure was cold but it really was worth it because it gives me a good feeling to know I supported a good cause.”

Eric Keck, newly named Englewood City manager, said he expects to be very visible as he plans to spend a lot of time talking to council members, department directors, city employees, residents and members of the business community when he takes office Sept. 15.

The Englewood City Council announced Aug. 22 they had selected Keck as the new city manager to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Gary Sears.

“I am honored and humbled to have been selected to be Englewood’s city manager,” he said by phone Aug. 22 from Post Falls, Idaho. “I am familiar with Englewood because my wife’s parents live in Highlands Ranch and I went on a tour of the community on Aug. 11. I feel Englewood is attractive but the city also faces challenges.”

Keck said he knows there are things Englewood can’t control, like geography, but he said the city also can overcome the challenges to create opportunities to promote economic development.

“I see Englewood as an older, more mature community, and I believe it is time to have meaningful conversations to determine who we are, where we want to go and how can we get there,” he said.

“I feel the best way to answer those questions is to ask all aspects of the community to talk to me and help us develop plans for the future.”

Keck said one major challenge he sees is the fact the Broadway corridor has great potential but, right now, it has no defining character.

He said another issue is the city’s industrial area.

“There are a lot of good businesses in the industrial area but, driving through it, it looks old and tired,” Keck said. “Again, there is a lot of potential to work with the Manager continues on Page 7

Sears given retirement sendoff Friends, former colleagues and family attend Aug. 23 event

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Words of praise, as well as a few laughter-provoking anecdotes, were spoken by a host of people at Gary Sears’ retirement celebration.

About 100 friends, family, co-workers and former colleagues attended the Aug. 23 event at the Englewood Civic Center.

Sears announced in February he was retiring after 17 years as Englewood city manager and 44 years in public service.

Former colleagues who worked with Sears prior to his arrival in Englewood praised him for his professionalism, while friends talked about his devotion to his family as well as the seven times he took part in Ride the Rockies.

A big surprise came near the end of the event when Sears told the audience he had received a congratulatory call from his brother Duane in California. Just moments

some low points but the high points, along with those ah-hah moments when a longrange project was successfully completed kept him going.

As Sears closed his comments, he was joined at the podium by his granddaughters, Olivia and Charlotte.

Englewood is asking K-12 students to submit artwork for the annual calendar competition; marking the 15th year the city’s calendar has showcased the works of students.

Leigh Ann Hoffhines, city communications coordinator, oversees the contest each year and said there are usually about 150 entries. The deadline for entries is Sept. 26.

A panel that includes city councilmembers, members of the Englewood Cultural Arts Commission and members of other arts-related organizations judges the entries.

The panel selects 50 finalists and those artists will be honored at a reception later this fall. Thirteen entries will then be selected for the calendar.

The calendar will be printed in November.

The artists must be students who go to school or live in Englewood. Each artist may submit only one entry. The entry must be a two-dimensional medium, but photography won’t be accepted.

Paint-by-numbers or commercial art kits also won’t be accepted.

“A submission must be at least eight inches by 10 inches,” Hoffhines said. “We also encourage the artists to use color.”

All artwork will be returned to the submitting artists’ schools or will be available for the artists to pick up from the Englewood Civic Center after the calendar is printed.

Entry forms are available at www.englewoodgov.org. Forms are also available at the Englewood Public Library and the Englewood City Manager’s office. Both facilities are located in the Englewood Civic Center at 1000 Englewood Parkway.

All entries must have an entry form attached and should be mailed or brought to the Englewood City Manager’s Office. Mark the entries to the attention of Leigh Ann Hoffhines. For more information, call 303-762-2316.

Death penalty lurks as election nears Governor’s views may matter little to voters

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Death penalty politics resurfaced in the gubernatorial race last week on the heels of comments made by Gov. John Hickenlooper during a recent television interview.

But political observers wonder just how much voters actually care about capital punishment in relation to other issues, and what impact, if any, the death penalty debate will have come November.

Hickenlooper confirmed to KDVR-TV on Aug. 18 what many believe has been the case for a while — that he’s changed his mind over the years and is now against the death penalty.

“There’s no deterrence to having capital punishment,” Hickenlooper said during the interview.

The governor said he had been a death penalty supporter his entire life until factors, such as the high cost of putting someone to death, started to turn his mind around on the issue.

“And, I don’t know about you, but when I get new facts, I change my opinion,” said Hickenlooper, who told voters four years ago that he was in favor of the death penalty.

Hickenlooper has had to deal with questions about his views on capital punishment since last year, when he chose to grant a temporary reprieve for death row inmate Nathan Dunlap, who was convicted of murdering four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993.

Republicans have attacked Hickenlooper for failing to see through Dunlap’s execution. The death penalty issue has been used by former Congressman Bob Beauprez, who is running against Hickenlooper this fall, as a way to call out the governor for his “failed leadership” on the issue.

“If he truly does oppose the death penalty, he should have commuted Nathan Dunlap’s sentence instead of leaving the decision to the next governor,” Beauprez said through a press statement. “As Colorado’s next governor, I will see that justice is served.”

Eddie Stern, a spokesman for Hickenlooper’s campaign, said the governor “made a decision knowing it wouldn’t be a popular decision, but it is the right decision.”

Stern also said it is important to remember that the governor granted a reprieve, not clemency for Dunlap.

“At that time, he explained why he felt a temporary reprieve was more important than clemency,” Stern said.

Issue may not sway voters But will voters care about Nathan Dunlap and the death penalty come November?

“When you look at voters, in particular, independents, and when you look at list of concerns they have, you’re not going to find the death penalty on that list,” said Norman Provizer, a political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“It’s a hot topic and the Beauprez campaign is trying to make an issue out of it, but I don’t think it’s a high priority issue.”

John Straayer, a political science professor at Colorado State University, said “a lot of people have been changing their mind on the death penalty” over the years. And Straayer wonders if Beauprez is simply trying to energize voters who are already inclined to vote for him.

“It might be being done to the advantage of appealing to his own party,” he said. “But I just wonder whether they’re getting a lot of traction out of that beyond the base of their own party.”

Provizer said voters care more about Colorado’s improved economy than issues like the death penalty.

“If I were a candidate and I had a choice between being attacked on the death penalty or unemployment being down to around 5 percent, it wouldn’t be a question of what I would choose,” Provizer said.

Still, a polarizing issue like this one could have on an impact on at least a small percentage of the electorate — perhaps enough to flip a tight election.

“I think we all understand, in any close election, little things can make an enormous difference,” Provizer said. “I can say the death penalty question is not a major issue, but in a close election, it could make a difference.”

CRIME REPORT `Widowmaker’ found with hatchet

Tesla driver arrested

Englewood Police arrested a 42-yearold man in a wheelchair known as the “Widowmaker” on suspicion of assaulting another man with a collapsible baton.

The police were called about 8:55 p.m. Aug. 23 to investigate the report of a man being assaulted on the 600 block of Englewood Parkway. The victim, a 26-year-old man, told officers he was hit with a collapsible baton by a man who is known by his nickname, “Widowmaker,” wears a cowboy hat, has tattoos and is in a wheelchair.

Officers checked the area and found the suspected attacker. The man told officers he used the collapsible baton because he thought the victim was going to jump him. The suspect then told officers he threw the baton into the lake at Cushing Park because he feared he was going to get into trouble. Police arrested the suspect, and while searching him also discovered he had a hatchet.

Englewood Police arrested a 42-yearold man driving a white Tesla after he allegedly ignored an officer’s orders to not drive through an accident scene, and then later on reportedly backed into a police car.

Officers called in backup about 10:30 p.m. Aug. 22 to the area of South Broadway and West Lehow Avenue after the suspect drove away in his Tesla.

According to information provided by the police department, officers located the Tesla a short time later and, when they tried to stop the vehicle, the driver put the car in reverse and backed into a police cruiser. The driver again refused to get out of the vehicle and officers then took him out of the car. He reportedly resisted officers before he was taken into custody.

Arson investigation underway A fire that happened about 12:45 a.m.

Aug. 22 in a detached garage on the 700 block of West Nassau Way is being investigated as arson.

After Englewood firefighters put out the fire, police officers talked to the owner of the garage and the 26-year-old man told officers his 30-year-old brother had been living in the garage periodically.

The garage owner also told officers he and his brother had a “falling out” about an hour before the fire was discovered.

Information provided by Englewood Police stated that, due to the location of where the fire started and details found during the early stages of the investigation, an arson investigation in underway.

Police impersonator pleads guilty Leslie Dewayne Simpson pleaded guilty Aug. 22 to one count of impersonating a police officer, a Class 6 felony.

Simpson was sentenced to serve two years of probation and ordered not to have possession of badges of any kind.

Simpson, 36, was arrested on April 18 after real police were called to investigate a report of a man impersonating a peace officer.

Witnesses told officers that a man, later identified as Simpson, had identified himself as a police officer and displayed a badge. Following his arrest, Simpson was taken to the Arapahoe County jail, where he posted a $2,000 bond and was released. On June 3, he showed up 30 minutes late for a court hearing. His bond was then revoked and reset at $10,000.

Options eyed to boost city’s economy Officials field questions on development, incentives

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Clarence Hughes of GreenBuilt Homes said he learned a lot of good information about the city and its policies at the Aug. 20 Economic Development Update.

“City officials provided me with some information about Englewood I can use,” he said after the meeting. “Our company builds home and, from what I heard today I am interested to see if opportunities are available for us in Englewood.”

Hughes was in the audience of about 35 people who attended the meeting where Englewood officials talked about city economic development policies and answered questions about a variety of economic development-related topics, such as city beautification and zoning policies.

Mayor Randy Penn welcomed those who attended the morning meeting. He was followed by community development staff members who talked about a number of city programs focused on fostering and encouraging economic devel-

opment, such as city incentive policies, the commercial catalyst program and the possibility of state tax credits for development in the Arapahoe County Enterprise Zone.

Alan White, community development director, wrapped up the presentation and asked those in the audience to speak up and talk about what the city does well, what the city needs to do better and how to make Englewood more attractive to new businesses.

One question concerned what the city is doing to assist people who don’t like to drive to a location where they can then use public transportation.

White said there are two studies underway that look at ways to provide pedestrian and bicycle connections from residential areas to the light rail stations.

“We also have the free ART shuttle buses that run through portions of the northern residential area and by Craig and Swedish hospitals to the Englewood Light Rail Station,” he said.

Colleen Mello, Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce director, said a number of members of the business community are concerned the city isn’t doing a good job of maintaining landscaping in the medians and the flowerpots along Broadway. She said much of the median

landscaping is dead and it would look better if the city just removed all of it.

White said there is an ongoing effort to revamp and upgrade the median landscaping. Also, Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager, said the Englewood Business Improvement District put in the Broadway flowerpots, but the district was dissolved. The city then took responsibility for Broadway flowerpot maintenance for the next two year and has hired a company to maintain the flowerpots.

Paul Webster, owner of Brews on Broadway, said he feels he has his finger on the pulse of the downtown area.

“Part of the problem with the downtown area is there aren’t places that attract people to come and stay in the area,” he said. “Basically, Englewood is a destination. People come to make purchases at one location and then they leave the city.

They don’t spend time visiting the shops and restaurants.”

He said the apartment developments underway are expected to bring 600 t0 800 residents to the area.

“There is no attraction in the downtown area to encourage people to spend time there,” he said. “One major need is a quality restaurant. There are places to eat but no really nice restaurants in the downtown area.”

White said he agreed with Webster’s comments. He said the city is trying to get prospects like quality restaurants to locate in Englewood.

“The effort to attract new businesses to the downtown area is one reason the city council expanded the commercial catalyst program. Many of the downtown building are old and need major inside upgrades, and the catalyst grant could help.”

Penn told the audience the city council wants to step up and help businesses locate in Englewood, and urged those in the audience to tell city officials things that might help the council achieve that goal.

Peggy King of KeyBank said after the meeting that she hoped to hear more about planned projects.

“There was some good information brought out in the meeting,” she said. “I feel one possible problem is the abundance of bars along Broadway. However, I like the ideas about revitalizing downtown and possibly bringing a quality hotel to the city.”

She said, overall, the time spent at the update was helpful. She also said she is a member of the city business community and wants to get more involved in what is going on in Englewood.

City fire department’s future discussed Council plans more talks before making any decisions

By Tom Munds tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood City Council spent about 45 minutes during its Aug. 18 meeting discussing whether the city should maintain a stand-alone fire department, contract for fire services or merge with a fire district.

At the end of the discussion, the decision was made to explore the topic with members of the fire department at the

Sept. 8 study session.

Councilmember Rick Gillit began the Aug. 18 council discussion.

“I believe we should make a decision to move ahead with maintaining a stand-alone fire department,” he said.

“The firefighters and the new city manager need to know the direction the city council wants to go. I make a motion to consider only maintaining a stand-along fire department and decide the details as we move forward.”

Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson disagreed.

“I feel we need to have a meeting with the fire chief and some of the firefighters to listen to their comments on the pros and cons of how fire protection should be provided in the future,” she said. “I

don’t expect we will hear a unified position but, before we make this important decision, we need to hear what members of the fire department have to say.”

Steve Yates, council at-large representative, said the residents he talked to about the issue want the city to maintain a stand-alone department.

“However, the decision to maintain a stand-alone fire department or have the department merge with the South Metro Fire District is expected to require significant funding,” he said. “We need to determine what method will be used to obtain those additional funds.”

City Manager Gary Sears said he feels the future of fire protection for Englewood is one of the most difficult deci-

sions facing the city council.

“I have talked to managers of cities all over the country about regionalization of fire service. Sometimes the regionalization works and sometimes it doesn’t. The general opinion is that once a decision is made to regionalize fire service, it is impossible to re-establish an independent local fire department,” he said. “For Englewood, there is concern about the rising cost of providing fire service for residents. The council has been discussing the issue and trying to look at all aspects of the possible decisions. City staff will try to provide the council as much information as possible that will help them.”

Albert Witham, the driver of the sedan, was declared dead at the scene.

Two passengers in the sedan, Witham’s 60-year-old wife and his 24-yearold son, were taken to Swedish Medical Center for treatment.

The driver of the third vehicle was uninjured.

John Collins, Englewood police chief, told the city council at the Aug. 25 study session the two passengers in the sedan were both still in critical condition.

He also told the council the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office accident reconstruction team is aiding in the investigation. Collins said the team efforts can provide important data and details.

“The investigators are awaiting the results of the tests to determine if Cale was driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs,” Collins said.

GMO labeling measure heading for fall ballot Similar measure failed after fight in California

By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A backer of a ballot measure that would require labels on foods that are genetically modified said his effort is about allowing Coloradans to “make informed decisions about what we are feeding our families.”

But opponents fear that Proposition 105 is unnecessary and would result in confusion and higher food costs.

The Secretary of State’s Office announced on Aug. 20 that the initiative backers had collected the necessary number of valid signatures to become one of only four measures to make the November ballot this year.

The food is born from genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. GMO-based foods have been sold com-

mercially since the mid-1990s are found in the vast majority of common crop foods, such as soybeans, corn and canola.

The scientific consensus is that foods that contain GMOs are currently not harmful to the public’s health or the environment.

But that hasn’t curbed a GMO-labeling movement that has resulted in similar ballot measures and several legislative efforts around the country.

“I think there’s momentum,” said Larry Cooper of Arvada. Cooper is behind the Colorado Right to Know campaign and was responsible for putting the measure on the ballot.

“People in Colorado really enjoy a healthy lifestyle and that’s why we work here,” he said. “But, really, what’s going on is we are choosing our food blindly.”

Some major chains have already been moving toward Cooper’s side on this issue.

Whole Foods grocery stores are in the process of labeling all foods that contain GMOs. And foods that are used at Colorado-based Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants contain no GMOs. But Cooper knows he has a fight on his hands this fall.

The packaged food industry has already been pushing back against GMO labeling efforts in other states, including California, where a similar ballot measure

failed two years ago.

Opponent’s of Cooper’s effort insist they have science on their side.

They point to independent studies that have not indicated any detrimental health impacts as a result of GMO consumption.

And they say that advancements in biotechnology are good because it allows farmers to grow more and feed more people without having a greater environmental or health impact.

Critics also say that, if the measure passes, food prices would go up and labeling foods that contain GMOs would only confuse consumers — who have long been eating the foods without, they say, any problems.

But Cooper dismisses those concerns.

“I really can’t understand how it would (raise food prices),” Cooper said. “Obviously, they can choose to raise prices, but the bottom line is all they have to do is put a label on them. It’s not a ban.”

Cooper is not a doctor or a scientist. He said he is “a grandpa who got involved” because he is concerned about what his grandchildren are eating.

The way he figures, if there’s no problem with GMObased food, what’s the big deal if the ballot measure passes?

“If GMOs are safe, then why not just label them?” he said.

State shines in two economic reports Not good enough, says Beauprez campaign

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Colorado’s economic outlook is bright, as is indicated by two business reports that were released last week.

The state’s unemployment rate ticked down slightly in July, and Colorado experienced its 33rd consecutive month of job gains.

And, on the heels of those statistics, a business website ranked Colorado number one on its list of state economies.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper greeted the economic news with tempered optimism.

“While our economy continues to be recognized as the fastest-growing in the nation, we know there is still much work to be done,” the governor said through an emailed statement. “We are focused on ensuring we foster a positive business climate — whether a start-up or Fortune 500 company — and retaining our talented workforce.”

The unemployment numbers, which were released by the state Department of Labor and Employment, show that 3,500 non-farm jobs were added in July.

That growth allowed the state’s unemployment rate to drop from 5.5 percent to 5.3 percent.

That’s the lowest unemployment rate the state has seen since October 2008, just as the Great Recession was kicking in.

Meanwhile, the website Business In-

The majority of those taking the challenge were students but they were joined by EHS teaches, staff members, school board member Tena Prange, superintendent Brian Ewert and EHS principal Jonathan Fore.

Fore said he was very proud of the Englewood High School students and faculty along with the district administrators who took the challenge.

“The support was great and shows our school spirit,” he said after taking the challenge. “It is a great way to unify our students as the school year gets started. We should be very proud of what we accomplished today.”

businesses in that area to help them grow, prosper and spruce up the area.”

Keck comes to Englewood from his position as chief operating officer of Ground Force Worldwide, a company that designs and manufactures mine support equipment Prior to the Ground Force position, Keck was the city administrator of Post Falls, Idaho, from 2006-12. He held the senior project coordinator positon for Wadsworth Development Group in Draper, Utah, from August 2005 until August 2006.

He took that position after serving as city manager of Draper from 2002-05. Draper is a community of 35,000 people.

Keck said he feels his experience in city government and with private companies helps him.

“I believe working for private companies gives me insight to the business community and public service has given me insight to city government,” he said. “I believe government should cooperate with businesses. For example, every city has zoning regulations and codes. But there are ways to make thing easier for businesses.”

sider ranked Colorado’s economy as the best in the nation.

The influential business website used eight metrics to determine its rankings, with Colorado ranking in the top 10 in five of them.

Business Insider cited Colorado’s “highly diversified” economy as a key factor in its top ranking, which includes a healthy aerospace sector and the state’s “huge amount” of federal investment.

The website also factored in the state’s growth in job creation and in its working-age population.

The unemployment numbers and the business report come as good news to Hickenlooper, who is seeking re-election in the fall.

The governor has touted the state’s improving economic health as his primary campaign strategy.

But the campaign behind his opponent this November, Republican Bob Beauprez, a former congressman, said things could be a lot better for Coloradans.

The Beauprez campaign points to evidence of sluggish economies in rural parts of the state as an indication that Hickenlooper and Democratic lawmakers have little interest in focusing on improving economies outside of the Denver metro area.

“Certainly there are signs that after this prolonged recovery there are some signs of life,” said Allen Fuller, communications director for the Beauprez campaign. “But, for a lot of Colorado families, recovery hasn’t come to their doorstep yet.”

Evans said the donation line is still open. Anyone who wants to contribute to the event can go online to www.gofundme.com/d83w4c.

The Ice Bucket Challenge was introduced about a month ago and swept the nation. Celebrities, government officials and countless individuals have taken the challenge. The result is the ALS Association has received about $31.5 million in donations so far compared to $1.9 million over the same period of time last year.

The challenge is to raise money for the ALS Foundation to provide care for people who have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is often called Lou Gehrig’s disease, and to support global research programs focused on finding a cure for the disease. The disease weakens muscles, particularly in the arms and legs, and can leave a patient completely paralyzed physically but still fine mentally.

Sears announced in February he would retire at the end of August. The city council then launched the effort to fine a replacement by hiring a consultant to conduct a national search. The search firm received 101 applications and the process narrowed the field to six finalists. The council announced Aug. 22 that Keck was chosen to be the new city manager.

Mayor Randy Penn said the council worked hard to select the best possible person to be Englewood’s new city manager.

“All six finalists were very well qualified,” Penn said. “Eventually, the council unanimously agreed to offer the position to Eric. We are pleased he accepted the invitation to be Englewood’s new city manager and I think I speak for all of us when I say we look forward to working with him.”

Keck earned a bachelor of arts degree in political science from the University of Dayton in 1994 and earned his master’s degree in public administration from the same university a year later.

He graduated from the University of Virginia Weldon Cooper School for Public Service and earned a certificate in leadership and management from the University of Notre Dame.

Keck noted he has local ties. His wife graduated from Heritage High School in Littleton and her parents live in Highlands Ranch. The couple’s daughter is living with her grandparents and attending Ben Franklin School in Highlands Ranch.

Empty nest takes some getting used to Some of you reading this column will relate as a parent who has gone through the bittersweet event of having your children move out, especially if it is your last child or they were an only child. And every one of us reading these words today has been that child or young adult who has moved away from home, at some point, eventually.

Many went to college, others joined the military, and there were some who just felt like it was time to go and find a job or employment and another place to live.

Some chose to move fairly close to home, but just far enough to keep the parents from “popping by” and yet close enough to raid the pantry and do some laundry if necessary.

And if we can look at our own departures from home we would probably remember the bittersweet moment, our nervousness, the anxious anticipation that accompanies any new adventure, and we probably also remember the melancholy look upon our parents’ faces, possibly even a tear or two on their cheeks as well as maybe even a little drop from our own eyes.

There are obviously mixed emotions, and in many cases when extreme happiness and excitement enter the arena, they can serve as blockers to the deeper emotions that we attempt to hide. And I can tell you that as last of my children moved into a dorm last weekend, it was definitely a bittersweet moment.

Although she was my most rebel-

lious child, she has also been blessed with boundless energy. She has also been blessed with boundless emotions. So combining rebellion with emotionally charged energy sometimes could create a little bit of friction in the house, OK, maybe a lot of friction and tension.

Will I miss her? Absolutely. Will I miss her sense of humor? Yes. Will I miss her hugs? No question. Will I miss just seeing her wandering around the house, waking up, or more accurately waking her up?

Yes I will. Will I miss grounding her? No way. Will I miss the emotionally driven arguments? Nope. Will I miss waiting up to hear her come in at night? No chance, as I have been looking forward to a solid night’s sleep for so long.

When change happens in our life, just like having our children or child move away, or when you the young adult are choosing to move away from mom and dad, we have to remember the importance of staying connected through memories, text messages, calls, emails, and visits.

Change is not a “four letter word,” it is

just something that happens. And as with all change, even though we may not like it or agree with it, we know and accept that change happens, and it will always happen. It’s all about how we prepare our hearts and minds to deal with the change when it does occur.

Mixed emotions and bittersweet moments are natural and awesome all at the same time. It’s when they occur that they tap into our senses and tug hard on our own hearts, letting us know that we are indeed alive and full of feeling. They say that gratitude is one of the healthiest of all human emotions. So instead of focusing on the things I will not miss about my daughter’s departure, I will focus on appreciating all the funny, exciting and challenging times she brought into my life.

How about you? Does the bittersweet moment of loved ones moving out or moving out yourself lead you more towards gratitude and appreciation for all the times and memories you had together, or are you wrestling with the melancholy feelings and separation anxiety? Either way I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can enjoy the memories, stay in contact, and just let those bittersweet moments happen, it really will be a better than good week.

A brilliant spark that left a mark Robin Williams looked at me from the cover of a magazine this summer, and I had a very hard time looking back. Since I grocery shop almost every day, it happened more than once.

It was a full frontal of his face, and he had a very small smile. The picture had a near-opposite effect on me, and I actually couldn’t look at it for more than a second or two.

He said, “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”

I don’t know enough — or much of anything — about depression or Parkinson’s disease, but I can tell you lots of things about alcoholism.

Things depress the hell out of me, but I do not suffer from depression. That may not make sense, but I just don’t experience interior depression. I become depressed by external events, mostly.

I cannot imagine bundling depression with the oncoming of Parkinson’s disease with alcoholism with Robin’s phenomenal instincts for observations, for improvisational humor, and

for intense acting. Time after time, his liquid mind amazed me, but generally not in the performances that he was best known for.

I never watched “Mork and Mindy,” and didn’t particularly care for “Mrs. Doubtfire.”

Obviously he was stunning in “Good Will Hunting,” but I always wince at all of the profanity in the film.

I prefer “One Hour Photo” to “Good Morning, Vietnam.”

The performances I liked best were the unscripted ones, when he would walk across the stage and shake David

Letterman’s hand, and proceed to take me some place that was unbelievably believable.

It was non-stop, too. I would always ask myself, “How did he do that? How did he get that way?” I have read about his background, but a remarkable background is not always a guarantee that brilliance will follow.

I wondered what he was like at home.

Was he “on” only when he was on? Or was he on all of the time?

The World Health Organization estimates that 121 million people worldwide suffer from some form of depression.

Anyway, the cover photo saddened me. But I kind of understood why he did what he did.

In commentaries since his death, I have heard over and over that if we know someone who suffers from depression — or alcoholism — that you have a near responsibility to help them, or get them some help. It’s easier said than done.

POLITICAL ANALYSIS

Hickenlooper keeps it positive after attack ad Governor hard to hit as economy booms

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com An attack ad released against Gov. John Hickenlooper last week started out like any other negative ad — grainy, black-andwhite footage followed by a series of assaults on the governor for his failure to “make the tough decisions.”

The ad, which was paid for by the Republican Governors Associa- Beauprez tion, included footage of Hickenlooper recently playing pool with President Obama at a downtown Denver bar.

It goes on to show footage of shots taken by a really bad pool player — who is symbolically Hickenlooper — as a narrator rattles off a laundry list of attacks on the governor’s record.

“Colorado’s been hustled enough,” the narrator says, before going on to tout Hickenlooper’s opponent this fall, Republican former Congressman Bob Beauprez.

Almost immediately after the ad was released, Hickenlooper fired back with an ad of his own, one that was brutally … positive?

“Four years ago, we promised to run a positive campaign, and we did,” said Hickenlooper, looking right into the camera.

Hickenlooper then spends the next

Maybe Robin didn’t want help. Everyone is not a perfect candidate for Dr. Phil’s inevitable show-ending offer.

This summer was a bunch of bumping bumper cars, wasn’t it? Those kids coming across the border, same-sex marriages, the World Cup, Ferguson, Mo., Mo’ne, here-we-go-again in the Middle East, and a man we all knew who took his life.

30 seconds talking about how much the economy has improved under his watch and how communities are rebounding after floods ravaged parts of the state last year.

Hickenlooper made no reference to Beauprez in the ad. Nor has he done so in any other ad or campaign press release.

The Beauprez camp, meanwhile, has attacked Hickenlooper every chance it’s had: “Flipflops” on the death penalty; his “out of touch” gun-control agenda; and anything else they think will stick.

So far, it has been a story of two campaign strategies: one that fires away Hickenlooper and reloads versus one that ducks the bullets and smiles.

“They want to paint Hickenlooper as bumbling or indecisive, but they’ve got to do something because Hickenlooper is not the easiest guy to attack, in part because people like him,” said John Straayer, a political science professor at Colorado State University.

“But if they get too nasty, it could have a boomerang effect.”

Hickenlooper has pledged to run only positive campaigns in his political career and, so far, that strategy has paid dividends.

But what happens if the going gets tough for a governor who isn’t used to throwing a punch?

“What if someone keeps taking a baseball bat to you and all of the sudden you find yourself down in the polls, then what do you do?” said Norman Provizer, a political science professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

‘Both Ways Bob’ ad hurt

I am not exactly sure why the magazine cover affected me the way it did.

Sometimes life only gives (me) a few days of relief at a time before something shows up in the news that brings me back down again.

That will never change.

If you tend to think of Robin always being in motion, watch “One Hour Photo.”

There is a scene in Sy Parrish’s kitchen, when Robin, who had been fired earlier in the day, stands alone in his kitchen with a glass of water in his hand.

He doesn’t move and the director holds the shot for almost 15 seconds.

I am not the most positive, uplifting man you will ever know, and I know that.

But I am a sentimental old piece of crust, down deep somewhere, and I just wanted to write a small thank-you note to the man on the cover.

Stern said.

Provizer said he understands why those who want to see Hickenlooper lose are tempted to run attack ads.

“The simple reality is, the incumbent has a record,” he said. “When you’ve been in power and done things, you’re going to have issues there that are a reality. But at some point (the other side) also has to come back with what it is going to do.”

Straayer said that those who are out to defeat Hickenlooper are piling on as many issues as they can, seeing as how the economic outlook in Colorado has been on the upswing in recent years.

“The economy is strong, so what are you going to do?” Straayer said. “To say he’s got a failed governorship and look at the shape the state’s in, it just doesn’t sell very well in the trajectory of the economy. So what do you do? You jump on misstatements and on the death penalty.”

But polls over the summer have shown that Beauprez and Hickenlooper are locked in a tight race. And observers wonder if Hickenlooper will change his tone in October, if polls still show a close contest.

They also wonder if Hickenlooper is even capable of turning into an attack dog.

“When he’s run before, it’s been positive, good-humored and quirky, but honest and straightforward, and that’s who he is as a candidate,” Provizer said. “He would have a harder time going negative because that’s a real contradiction of what people think he is, and suddenly turning into a pit bull may not work.”

Robin said, “In America they really do mythologize people when they die.”

Negative campaign attacks are as old as politics itself. And some of the most effective political ads have been mercilessly negative.

“People do not like negative advertising; at the same time, it has an impact on people,” Provizer said.

Beauprez is no stranger to the impact negative attacks can have on a campaign.

His failed 2006 gubernatorial campaign was derailed in part by attacks — started by a fellow Republican — that labeled him “Both Ways Bob” on key issues.

For this campaign, Beauprez, through stump speeches, campaign statements and through outside political groups, has been trying to label Hickenlooper as a failed leader who flip-flops on issues.

“We intend to present the contrast between John Hickenlooper’s failed leadership and Bob’s plan for Colorado,” said Beauprez communications director Allen Fuller, defending the campaign’s attacks.

Fuller also said voters shouldn’t be bamboozled into thinking that Hickenlooper is merely taking the high road whenever attacks come his way.

“We’ve all read the blueprint, that Hickenlooper is running a positive campaign,” he said. “Coloradans are going to get the joke ... knowing full well that the Democratic Party and a host of blue groups are hitting back.”

Eddie Stern, a spokesman for the Hickenlooper campaign, said he isn’t concerned about attacks from Beauprez sticking and resonating in the voters’ minds while the governor runs a positive campaign.

“We don’t think Colorado needs more negative campaigning or angry politics,”

RENTALS Littleton’s urban-renewal authority declined the Evergreen Motel owner’s request to remove the property from the area being studied for possible redevelopment. Photo by Jennifer Smith

Urban-renewal plans advance Littleton City Council will have the final say on two areas

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton’s urban-renewal authority voted in favor of its first two project areas on Aug. 19, sending them on to the planning board and ultimately to city council, which has the final say.

“I see a lot of improvements this authority might be able to assist with,” said Jim Collins, a former Littleton mayor and member of Littleton Invests for Tomorrow (LIFT), the city’s urban-renewal authority.

The two areas are, generally speaking, the west side of the Santa Fe Drive corridor from Prince Street to just south of Mineral Avenue, and the Columbine Square area along Belleview Avenue.

At least one property owner is thrilled.

Carl Chang is a representative of CMCB Enterprises in California, which owns the Columbine Square shopping center that once housed a Safeway and the Bluz Bar and Grill but now sits virtually empty. Chang believes the popularity of such neighborhood retail centers is waning.

“Changes such as these lead us to consider other viable uses, concluding in the proposed 340-unit residential community we submitted to the city in 2013,” he wrote in a letter to LIFT. “We are confident that the redevelopment of the property within the Columbine Square Study Area will yield tremendous community benefits for the entire city.”

Columbine Square will likely be the first project to benefit from the urbanrenewal authority, assuming council approves the plan areas. Once that happens, CMBC can submit its plan to LIFT, along with reasons why it can’t proceed without financial assistance from the authority. If the LIFT board accepts the application, CMBC would still have to ask city council to approve a rezone from retail to residential.

If successful on that front, the authority and CMBC would enter into an agreement that whatever new taxes are generated from the property, above and beyond what was coming in before the urban-renewal project, gets divided between the authority and the property owner for 25 years. CMBC’s share would have to be spent on public improvements like roads, drainage, sewer and sidewalks — major expenditures that often impede development.

Two seek opt-out Not everyone is as enthused as Chang.

The owners of Littleton Equine Medical Center and the Evergreen Motel, both in the Santa Fe plan, asked to be removed from the plan areas. The LIFT board

granted the request for the horse clinic, situated on a rolling estate that boasts a Southern-style mansion built in 1913.

The board did not address the motel, which is just north of the McDonald’s at Santa Fe and Church Street. Even the owners admit it is less than pristine, but they say they’ve applied for historicpreservation funds from the city to restore it to its 1954 heyday, when it was the first motel to cater to the Centennial Racetrack crowd.

“It’s mine, and it’s not for sale,” said James Donnelly, who has owned the motel for 35 years and worries the city could take it from him using the power of eminent domain.

It’s an issue that is dividing many in the community. City council has the ultimate say about when eminent domain can be used, and some members have said it would never happen. Council passed a resolution to ban its use on Aug. 19, but a citizens group is still gathering petitions in an attempt to place any such decisions in the hands of voters.

“Our whole downtown was revitalized, and we didn’t have urban renewal,” said critic Jeannie Erickson. “To me, it seems like developers are coming into Littleton and running over everything.”

Some oppose `B’ word Others have a problem with the term “blight” being applied to practically all of the city’s commercial properties.

“Whenever urban renewal is announced, the value for everybody’s property in the area has been sterilized,” said Dan Arizumi, who said he was representing Gary Sutton.

Sutton owns the little farm tucked away just south of Denver Seminary on Santa Fe Drive, and Arizumi said Sutton is afraid it’s being targeted. He called on the LIFT board to show a specific plan for the area.

Consultant Ann Ricker has said repeatedly that LIFT can’t devise a specific plan for the area; a developer or property owner has to present one. The appointed urban-renewal authority approves financing tools, she explains, not land use; that still falls under the purview of the elected members of city council.

“No urban-renewal plan is going to be so specific as to even imply that it’s telling property owners what to do,” she said. “It can’t do that, and it doesn’t do that. … It’s a financial tool, not a regulatory tool.”

The Columbine Square plan passed unanimously, but Dennis Reynolds voted against the Santa Fe plan. He wanted to remove the Ensor property, which is everything south of Mineral. At 111 acres, it’s the largest piece of property left to develop in the city.

“I still think development should pay its own way,” said Reynolds.

“That’s just a redistribution of wealth, and I don’t support that either.”

The planning board was scheduled to address the projects on Aug. 25.

Keeping an eye on trains

Selection of works on display in Castle Rock

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com QRstorytelling Gallery in Castle Rock is featuring a one-man show of works by local photographer Ken Smith, who specializes in trains, vintage transportation and beautiful landscapes, as well as Americana. He said he would have 19 pieces exhibited and talked of his flexibility in helping a potential customer find just the right thing.

If you wonder how it might look on your west wall, send him a picture of that wall, he’ll return it with the photo under consideration inset.

He travels the country shooting trains, and learns the whereabouts of vintage engines and cars through a network of railroad buffs.

“It’s an adrenaline rush to see a steam engine going by at 60 miles an hour,” he said.

This photographer, who sold his first railroad photograph more than 30 years ago, shot “Classic Lines,” a Santa Fe engine, in Galveston, Texas and the one called “Steam in Castle Rock” is shot near the weathered Castle Rock Granary — with the Union Pacific No. 844 on the 150th anniversary of the UP. His first photo was of the train station in Hammond, Ind., where he was working for Sears. They asked employees to submit photos and a customer saw his and bought it. More sales followed and Sears gave him camera gear in exchange for an ongoing supply of prints to sell. His retail background has helped with a well-tuned sense of sales technique, he said.

“People have to connect with the artist,” he says, so he makes a point of introducing himself and telling the story behind a photo, rather than gluing that story on the back of the print.

He has moved to pursuing his photography full time. “I try not to travel more than three weeks a month,” he says. “And I take January off.”

He participated in 27 shows in the past year — about one every other week — and travels to about eight states per year. Sometimes his wife and 6-yearold daughter travel with him — to the Tetons this summer, for example.

“I also schedule pure photography time,” he adds, mentioning a plan to shoot fall colors in the San Juans.

IF YOU GO Smith’s photographs will be exhibited through Sept.

30 at QRstorytelling Gallery, which is located in the historic carriage house at 505 Second St. in Castle Rock, “just across the tracks.” Owner Lucia McConnell says she opened in 2013 in property owned by architect Dave Hieronymous, who has his office in the Philip S. Miller home, which he moved to the property. 303-947-6286.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is upping his commercial cred by adding Gatorade to his growing list of product endorsements.

Two new TV spots have been released under the tagline “Gatorade: Sweat It To Get It.” In each ad, a woman attempts to buy Gatorade at a convenience store, but the red-vested clerk deems these customers unworthy.

In each scenario, the clerk tells the women that Gatorade is only for people who work out. Since he sees no sign of sweat, they don’t deserve the postexercise drink.

Manning plays the store manager, whom the clerk asks to clarify the store policy to each of the sweat-free gals. In one commercial, Manning grabs the Gatorade and hurls it across the store.

“Go deep,” he says.

In the second ad, the woman says it’s her birthday and she confesses that she’s buying the drink for a hangover. When Manning-the-manager comes to the clerk’s aid, the two challenge the birthday girl to perform a yoga position so she can sweat.

Both ads are scary believable in a “Candid Camera” way. Manning plays a convincing manager, which could serve him well with his Papa John’s franchises.

Shoe collectors unite for charity

ABOVE: Ken Smith of Castle Rock will show recent railroad photographs through Sept. 30 at QRstorytelling Gallery. BELOW: “Classic Lines,” a vintage Santa Fe engine by Ken Smith, was shot in Galveston, Texas.

Calling all shoe collectors (who me?), those shoes you no longer want are desperately needed to help fight global poverty. That’s the message being delivered by Michele James, who has launched a Back to School Shoe Drive to collect 10,000 pairs of shoes to help the poor.

The shoes that Soles4Souls.CO collects will be delivered to Soles4Souls, an international antipoverty organization that monetizes used shoes and clothing to create sustainable jobs and fund direct relief efforts, including distribution of new shoes and clothing. Founded in 2007, the organization has distributed more than 25 million shoes in more than 100 countries.

“Soles4Souls.CO is supporting Soles4Souls because it is the definition of a social enterprise where solid business practices are used to create positive change in people’s lives,” James said. ”Colorado has been a strong supporter of Soles4Souls’ anti-poverty mission, and we hope to take a big step in providing the organization with the used shoes they require to keep making a sustainable difference for people in need.”

Bring shoes to any Colorado location listed at soles4souls.org/locations. Use the zip code locator to find the drop off spot nearest to you.

For more information, contact James at 720320-1755 or Soles4Souls.CO@gmail.com.

Not just Labor Day weekend

Downtown Denver has the Taste of Colorado for Labor Day weekend, but there’s much more going on in other places (and mostly at other times). Here’s just a few options: Parker hosts the Smokin’ Brew BBQ Festival Aug. 29-Sept. 3. The Smokin’ Brew BBQ is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbeque Society and will be held at Parker Station, 19751 E. Mainstreet, beginning at 4 p.m. Aug. 29. The festivities will conclude with an awards ceremony at 5 p.m. Aug. 31. The Godfather of BBQ and star of TLC’s “BBQ Pitmasters,” Johnny Trigg, will be attending.

It’s not Labor Day weekend, but the Arvada Harvest Festival runs Sept. 5-7. One of Arvada’s biggest events, the Harvest Festival includes a parade, carnival and much more. More info at www. arvadaharvestfestivalparade.com.

Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village is hosting the BMW Championship from Sept. 4-7 — also not Labor Day weekend — as part of the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs. Many top players will be there, including PGA ChampionParker continues on Page 12

Square dancers get around Group to mark 75th year in south metro area in October

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com In September 1939, as World War II began in Europe, Public Service Company employee Joe Lang, who had learned to call square dancing, started holding square dances in the company’s truck garage — pulling out the trucks and steam cleaning the floor first, according Ron and Karen Dreher, who are helping to keep the dance group going strong in 2014.

Dancers were originally part of Public Services’ G&E club, but changed the name to Kilowatt Eights in 1956.

On Oct. 3, the group will hold a gala dinner and dance at Malley Senior Center in Englewood, where members now meet to dance, to celebrate Kilowatt Eights’ 75th year as a club.

In July 1996, Kilowatt Eights was recognized by American Square Dance Magazine as the oldest active square dance club in the country — and they’re still circling around and swinging those partners.

They’re also offering classes for those who need a little help getting started on the right foot. Classes begin on Sept. 10, on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Englewood First Presbyterian Church, corner of Hampden and South Logan, near Swedish Medical Center. Another class starts Oct. 20 at the Grandview Grange, at South Vine Street and East Noble Place (across from the South Suburban Ice Rink.)

For class information, contact Karen and Ron Dreher, 303-759-4862, rdreher@q.com.

During America’s time in World War II, employees had to dance elsewhere due to security considerations with the garage, so they danced in the garage’s lunchroom until membership outgrew it in 1948, when the club moved to the Wight Building in downtown Denver, then to the company’s Belleview Center in Littleton.

Joe Lang retired in 1956 and a series of active presidents followed as additional anniversaries were celebrated.

In 1989, a 50th anniversary was celebrated at University of Denver’s new Driscoll Student Center.

For more information about the club, contact the Drehers, as noted above.

Here’s to another happy 25 years!

A new football frontier Numerous area schools change leagues, coaches

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com The remodeling is completed and a new landscape for south-metro area football teams will be displayed this season.

More than a dozen of the south metro schools covered by Colorado Community Media will be competing in different leagues, and there are six new head coaches that will be making their debuts.

Rod Dobbs takes over for John Vogt at Chaparral; Gene Hill replaces Jeff Ketron at Douglas County; Mark Robinson supplants Darrel Gorham at Highlands Ranch; and Tyler Knoblock is the new mentor at Heritage, succeeding Mike Griebel. Blair Hubbard moves from Faith Christian to Lutheran as Daryl Moe’s replacement.

Jaron Cohen is the new Ponderosa coach after Jamie Woodruff stepped down.

New league alignments find five-time and defending state champion Valor Christian, an independent the past two seasons, joining the Class 5A Centennial League.

“We’re excited about the week in and week out grind,” said Valor coach Rod Sherman. “Most people would argue that it’s the best league in the state with just how teams have done over the last couple years. We’re getting into the mindset that we are going to play five league games that are going to be four-quarter games and I would guess one or two of them are going to end up in overtime.

“It’s going to be a great challenge for us. We’re going to have to show up every night in the league just to be in the game at the end of it. We’re excited to play teams with great history like Cherry Creek, Grandview and Cherokee Trail. And Eaglecrest and Overland are really growing their programs the last couple years.”

Valor is top-ranked in the CHSAANow. com preseason poll and Cherry Creek is No. 2. Both schools have challenging nonleague schedules.

“The Centennial League has been a football power for a long as I’ve coached,” said Bruins coach Dave Logan. “Now that you add a team like Valor, it just makes it even tougher.”

The erstwhile Class 5A Continental League will be split into the Continental North and South with six additions.

Brian Dawkins Jr., left, and Eric Lee Jr., are two senior defensive backs that headline what coach Rod Sherman labels a secondary “that could be as good anybody in the state.” Photo by Jim Benton

Highlands Ranch, ThunderRidge, Mountain Vista, Regis Jesuit, Rock Canyon and Fruita Monument will be in the Continental North.

The Continental South will have Chaparral, Douglas County, Castle View, Legend, Doherty and Fountain-Fort Carson.

“The new 5A alignment represents an imperfect process but it does a good job of honoring regional rivalries, splitting up private schools and helping out the Western Slope,” said Castle View coach Ryan Hollingshead. “There is some imbalance in the strength of leagues, but it is healthy to have everyone in a competitive environment. No school should be stuck in an impossible league to rebuild year after year.”

Hill, who was elevated from an assistant to the head coaching position at Douglas County, anticipates a competitive title race in the Continental South.

“I really do like it,” he said. “Douglas County, Doherty, Castle View, Legend,

Fountain-Fort Carson and Chaparral, I think all of us are pretty even and it will be a dogfight to win this conference.”

Arapahoe and Heritage will be in the Class 5A South Metro Conference. Ponderosa joins holdover Littleton in the Class 4A Plains League, while Englewood, Lutheran and Elizabeth will be members of the Class 3A Colorado 7 loop.

“We are entering the Plains Conference, which does not have many tradi-

tional rivalries, but it will be exciting to compete against new programs,” said the Mustangs’ Cohen.

Lutheran is the No. 1-ranked in the preseason CHSAANow.com poll and Hubbard brings a wealth of playoff experience with him from Faith Christian.

“There are no teams on the 2014 schedule that the Lions have ever faced previously so there will be many new challenges this season,” said Hubbard.

Fountain-Fort Carson, Legend, Chaparral, Douglas County.

Pirate volleyball program growing Englewood has four teams, including a more competitive varsity squad

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The Englewood High School gymnasium echoed with volleyball action on four courts as the Pirates practiced Aug. 19.

“We had the good problem of finding space for everyone to practice as we have about 40 kids at on our roster, which is a big increase over last year,” coach Kristal Kostiew said. “I am always optimistic about the season. I feel we have varsity players with match experience whose skills have improved so I feel we will be a more competitive team this season.”

The Pirates opened their season Aug. 21 at Centaurus and returned home Aug. 28 against Lake County. Plans are for a “Dress like a Pirate night” Aug. 27 when Englewood is at home against Arvada.

Action resumes after Labor Day as Englewood plays a home game against St. Mary’s Academy on Sept. 2 before traveling to play Falcon on Sept. 4.

Coach Kostiew said the large turnout means, for the first time in many years, the Pirates will have four teams. She said there

will be nine players on the varsity, 11 on the junior varsity, 12 on the C team plus eight to 10 on the D team, which is mostly freshmen.

“We only had two of our players graduate in May so the majority of our varsity team was with us last season,” she said.

“Julia Kline returns as our setter and Sydni Gonzalez is back with us. Shelby Ore and Ty Lucas both are tall and they will be our primary hitters and blockers.”

She said many of the players committed to volleyball by coming to the gym during the offseason and playing in the summer league.

“The commitment of our players is paying off as they worked hard and improved their volleyball skills,” Kostiew said. “The varsity played in the summer league and the competition was intense as they play squads from bigger schools like Heritage, Columbine and Bear Creek. Playing against quality squads helps our players improve and sharpen their skills.”

The coach said she is pleased with the new players who came to the team with pretty good volleyball skills.

One of the new players scheduled to be on the varsity squad is freshman Maryah Hoeft.

“I am excited to have the chance to play with the varsity squad partly because volleyball is the only sport I play,” Hoeft said.

Kristal Kostiew, Englewood volleyball coach, directs her players to the proper courts during an Aug. 19 practice.

Kostiew said the returning varsity veterans and talented new players should blend together to become a strong, competitive team this season. Photo by Tom Munds “I started playing volleyball as a sixthgrader and I guess I just fell in love with the sport. I’ll play with the varsity this fall and then continue to play volleyball the rest of the year with my club team, The Edge.”

The freshman will be one of the two varsity setters. When the ball comes into the team’s side of the court, a player will pass it

to the setter who will then set it up for the hitters.

“I have always been a setter,” Hoeft said.

“I don’t know if it was planned but it just sort of happened. I believe my strengths are controlling the ball and setting it for the hitter. I feel another of my strengths is serving.”

REGLAZE YOUR TUB!

Staff report The Central Hockey League (CHL) has announced that the Denver Cutthroats have suspended operations, effective immediately, and will not compete in the 2014-15 season.

The team will look to secure additional investors with the hope of returning for the 2015-16 campaign.

Any players signed to contracts for Denver for the upcoming season became free agents immediately.

“We feel the Denver market remains a strong, viable area for minor league hockey, and has an ownership group that is passionate about making it work,” said Steve Ryan, CHL Commissioner. “We are confident that with time, they will return to the ice and re-establish themselves in the community for the years ahead.

“The league would like to thank the Denver Cutthroats ownership, team management and their loyal fans for their support, dedication and enthusiasm.”

Festival shoots for family fun Event at Centennial Gun Club combines weapons, bounce houses

By Christy Steadman

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com During the week, Jim Parks teaches statistics at Colorado Christian University, but because he’ll take any opportunity he is given to instruct, on Aug. 23, Parks was working the shooting range as a safety officer.

Parks said his position as a range safety officer is in line with his teaching skills because everyone, from the very experienced to those who had never shot a gun before, had an opportunity to do so at the event that brought them to the Centennial Gun Club.

The gun club held its first Firearms Festival, with a highlight being a free conceal carry class sign-up for all Colorado teachers and educators.

There is a concern for the children’s future, said Paul Stanley, manager of the Centennial facility. “We want to make sure teachers are trained and educated,� he said. “And that they become knowledgeable and confident using firearms.�

Centennial Gun Club member Kelly Miller was working the booth for the teachers to sign up for the free class. Miller said his best guess as to how many teachers signed up by Saturday afternoon was about 55. “It’s all about just educating people,� Miller said. “Educated people are as safe as anyone.�

Miller said should the law change to allow

Photos by Christy Steadman certain individuals to carry guns in gun-free zones, such as schools, it’s important that people who are permitted to carry a gun be properly taught how to use a gun in emergency situations. “Gun-free zones are anything but gun free to bad people,� he said. “Criminals, by nature, aren’t going to follow the rules.�

The Firearms Festival was a three-day event, with Aug. 23, a Saturday, being the biggest day. There were more than 30 miniclasses during the course of the weekend, and people were able to enter giveaways to win guns and ammunition, watch demonstrations and have discussions with gun manufacturers and representatives from more than 57 vendors. Additional entertainment included two live bands and KYGO talent.

Along with advocating firearms safety and celebrating the Second Amendment, Stanley said one purpose of the event is to promote family. “Any time you do something for the community, you have to include the family,� he said.

On Saturday, for the kids, there was a bouncy castle, climbing wall and mechanical bull. At dusk, “The Princess Bride� was shown for movie in the park.

Stanley said one goal of holding a family-

friendly festival is to take away the fear and stigma of gun ownership, and said it can be done by making sure people who own guns are trained in safety, control and marksmanship. “No one should have a gun if they’re not trained, safe and confident,� he said.

The Centennial Gun Club is the biggest in Colorado, said Stanley, with 3,400 members.

He estimated that thousands of people came to the first Firearms Festival. Stanley said the club would like to make the free festival an annual event to gather like-minded gun enthusiasts from the greater Denver area. “We’re celebrating Americana,� Stanley said. “Food, fun, music — and guns.�

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF AUG 25, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Despite your Aries penchant for wanting to tackle a problem head-on, you might want to take a little more time to see how a current situation develops. It could surprise you.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) TTaking on the role of peacemaker in a disruptive environment is a challenge.

But you can do it. Just continue to have the same faith in yourself that so many others have in you.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Although your work schedule keeps you busy, you should make time to start preparing for that important upcoming family event you’ll want to celebrate in a special way.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Home is where the Moon Child wants to be early in the week. But by week’s end, a chance to travel raises her or his excitement level, and that of the lucky person who gets to go along.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Be careful not to be a copycat when dealing with someone who uses unfair or even unkind methods to reach a goal. As always, do the right thing the right way, and you’ll win in the end.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) An offer could have many good things attached to it that are not apparent at first glance, including a chance to move into another career area. You might want to check out its possibilities.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) With responsibilities surging both in the workplace and in the home, it’s important to prioritize how you deal with them. Be patient.

Pressures will begin to ease starting early next week.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A positive reaction to a suggestion could indicate that you’re on track for getting your message to the right people. Devote the weekend to catching up with the special people in your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) A new attitude from those in charge could make things difficult for you unless you can accept the changes without feeling as if you’re being pressured into doing so.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Family matters once again dominate much of the week. But don’t neglect your workplace duties while you deal with them.

An offer to help could come from a surprising source.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A difficult workplace situation begins to ease, but there still are matters that need to be dealt with before it’s fully resolved. There’s also a more positive turn in domestic relationships.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Don’t let yourself be rushed into making a decision about an intriguing financial arrangement. Asking questions and checking it out now could pay off in a big way later on.

BORN THIS WEEK: You might have a tendency to be more than a bit judgmental, but others understand it comes from a warm, loving heart. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.
