Eric Keck officially became Englewood’s new city manager on Sept. 2 when the city council unanimously approved hiring him.

The city announced Aug. 22 that the council had selected Keck as the first choice to fill the post vacated by former City Manager Gary Sears, who retired Aug. 30.

During the Sept. 2 meeting, City Attorney Dan Brotzman talked about how the manager selection was done.

“City council followed state statutes that require the vote to officially hire a candidate. (Statutes state Keck that vote) can’t be made until 14 days after publication of the name of the individual the council would like to hire,” the attorney said. “Though the top candidate has been named, he is not hired until the city council votes on the hiring in a regular council meeting.”

As they prepared to vote, councilmembers talked about the process and the decision to select Keck as the new city manager.

Councilmember Rick Gillit said he was excited to be part of the process. He said the finalists were excellent candidates and he wanted Keck as the new city manager because he felt he was the leader that would take Englewood to the next level.

“I liked Keck’s style,” Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson said. “In the interview, I found him to be energetic and progressive. I believe he is someone who won’t pull punches and (will) tell things as they are.”

After each councilmember talked about his or her reason for selecting Keck, the council voted unanimously to hire Keck as the new city manager.

The council also voted Sept. 2 to appoint Deputy City Manager Mike Flaherty as acting city manager until Keck takes office on Sept. 15.

Schools adjust menu for appeal Englewood kids getting healthier, tastier items

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The challenge facing Englewood’s food service staff was to offer healthier, tastier food — and to make it appealing to students.

“The federal government told all school breakfast and lunch programs to reduce the amount of sugar, preservatives and fat in menu items,” said Melissa Franklin, Englewood School Food Service Director. “Englewood is fortunate because we have the brand-new production kitchen at the high school equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Our decision was to use the production kitchen to produce healthier and tastier items Food continues on Page 11

Stadium makeover in the works Plan approved, configuration of north stands to be decided

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com A major renovation of Englewood High School Stadium received unanimous school board approval this past week at a special meeting.

The vote gives the go-ahead to work on the slopes that are part of the south stands, replace the track and demolish the north stands.

“There are several possible options for configuration of those north stands,” said school board president Duane Tucker at the Sept. 4 meeting. “We need to get cost estimates on those options so we can select what we want to see built there.”

Plans call for those estimates to be presented to the board so the issue can be discussed at the Sept. 16 board work session.

“Redoing the track and north stands became a project that had to be done now,” said Superintendent Brian Ewert. “Over the years, dirt from under the north stands and from the slopes by the south stands washed down on the track.

The dirt, use and age have created several deep cracks that make it unsafe for runners so the track had to be replaced.”

He said the estimate for the track, slopes and north stands stabilization is about $487,000 but the district already has $450,000 in the capital reserve fund set aside for eventual track replacement.

Demolishing the north stands and press box and rebuilding them to code would cost about $755,000. If that option were chosen, the new stands would be 15 rows high and 100 yards long as they are now, providing seating for about 2,300 people.

A second option presented would be to build the north stands 10 rows high and 100 yards long with seating for almost 1,600. The price tag for that option would be about $691,000.

As additional funding would be needed

for any option to rebuild the north stands, Ewert told the board that the proposal is to take money from unrestricted reserves.

The amount needed from reserves could be as much as $267,000.

Board members discussed the possible public opposition to taking money from reserves for the stadium. Board Member Kevin Ebert said he wrestled with possible opposition but Englewood is building a new, state-of-the-art school and the school shouldn’t have an antiquated, inadequate stadium.

“That stadium would stick out like a sore thumb,” he said.

Ewert told the board doing the project now would be considerably less expensive than waiting until spring or summer.

He said Saunders Construction, the major contractor building the new sevenththrough 12-grade campus on the high school site, will include the stadium work in the contract since all the equipment and personnel are on site. If the project was delayed until next year, it would be 10 to 15 percent more expensive because the company would have to reassemble all the equipment and personnel. There were additional benefits too, he said.

“We began talking about replacing the north stands and Saunders Construction told us they would like to use the remaining dirt under the stands as fill for the parking lot that is part of the campus project,” he said. “The company will pay us about $38,000 for the dirt, which is less than if they have to purchase dirt for fill.”

Dave Henderson, director of operations and maintenance, said tentative plans are to begin work on the south side of the stadium while everything else gets sorted out.

He said plans are for the stadium field to be accessible for football, soccer and band practices throughout the construction. All scheduled soccer and football games will be played but there may be games where all seating is on the south side.

He said there is a need to move ahead quickly on the track as it can’t be installed unless there are several days with fairly warm temperatures, and the desire is to have it ready by March.

Plans are to remove the existing track and demolish and rebuild these north stands and pressbox as part of the makeover of the Englewood High School Stadium. The school board gave approval to begin the project but the details of the configuration and number of seats in the new north stands will be decided later this month. Photo by Tom Munds

Budget advisory committee shares vision Residents report to council on yearlong study

By Tom Munds tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The four members of the citizen budget advisory committee presented an analysis of their yearlong study of the budget process to the Englewood city council on Sept. 2.

“We have a good committee and I believe each of us has learned a lot about the budget process,” said Harvey Pratt, advisory committee chairman. “We are preparing a report outlining some of our vision for the budget process in the future, plus a budget in brief for Englewood residents.”

Pratt said the report would be included in the material provided to councilmembers in preparation for the Sept. 15 meeting, which includes a public budget hearing.

Englewood’s city council created the first citizen budget committee last year after appealing for volunteers to serve on the committee. Four applicants were selected to serve; Pratt, Christine McGroaty, Joel Day and Steve Ward.

During the Sept. 2 study session Day said the two documents from the committee are about complete.

“We will provide a report to the city coun-

cil that shares some of the committee’s vision for the budget process in future years,” he said. “For example, we would like to see a five-year budget forecast and preparation instead of doing the budget one year at a time.”

He said the second document is for Englewood residents and that it will be a four-page breakdown of the budget, explaining how tax dollars are used. The document, called “Budget in Brief” will be posted online. After a discussion, the council said funding would be provided to print several hundred copies of the “Budget in Brief.”

When the committee was established by council, the members were charged with gathering information and analyzing the budget and budget process. Committee members spent countless hours meeting with department directors and former City Manager Gary Sears. A lot of time was also spent with members of the finance department discussing the budget. In addition, the group met once a month to talk about what they learned and their progress.

“I was impressed with the dedication of the city administrators, department directors and employees,” McGroaty said. “I also learned there are a number of city issues that need to be addressed, such as projects that need to be done but have been put off because they are too expensive. This has been a great experience and I feel Englewood is a great city.”

Photo by Tom Munds Pratt said the council will receive the committee’s formal report as part of the documents they receive in preparation for the Sept. 15 public hearing on the budget.

“We would like comments from the council about the report and if there are areas the committee might address next year,” he said.

“We will hold our next meeting in November to begin planning for our study of the 2016

budget.”

Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson serves as one of the council liason members to the committee, and said it would have been easy for the committee to get derailed.

She said the group stayed focus and kept moving forward. She said the result of all their work will be a resident’s perspective of the budget and the budget process.

Man found guilty of assaulting parents Loats to be sentenced in November for wrench attack

Gubernatorial foes trade jabs Hickenlooper, Beauprez meet on Western Slope

By Vic Vela vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Gov. John Hickenlooper and former Congressman Bob Beauprez swapped barbs during a lively debate in Grand Junction on Aug. 6, marking the first time the two gubernatorial rivals squared off this fall.

On almost every debate topic — ranging from hydraulic fracturing to the death penalty and the state of the economy — the two traded jabs over who would be the better man to lead the state over the next four years.

The debate’s energy was aided by a lively audience that often interrupted the candidates with cheers and boos.

That was especially the Beauprez case toward the end of the debate, when Hickenlooper and Beauprez were given the opportunity to ask each other a series of direct questions.

Beauprez used his first question to attack the governor over his evolving position on the death Hickenlooper penalty, focusing on the governor’s decision last year to grant a temporary reprieve to Nathan Dunlap, the death row inmate who killed four people at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese’s restaurant in 1993.

“Yes or no, will you assure the people here tonight … that you will not grant clemency to Nathan Dunlap?” Beauprez asked.

Hickenlooper — who once supported the death penalty, but who recently said he no longer does — said he has “no plans to revisit my decision and my decision stands.”

“Government shouldn’t be in the business of taking people’s lives,” Hickenlooper said.

Meanwhile, Hickenlooper turned the tables on Beauprez on another issue that the former congressman has used to criticize the governor — fracking.

Hickenlooper touted his work on reaching a compromise on local control issues surrounding oil and gas drilling. The compromise kept anti-fracking measures from appearing on the November ballot — a result Beauprez had also wanted.

“You said you wanted the ballot measures off the ballot and I did that, so can I count on your vote?” Hickenlooper said.

Beauprez offered an icy response.

“I think you know the answer to that,” he said.

Hickenlooper is pro-fracking, but has also guided tough regulations on the oil and gas industry that aim to limit potential environmental and health impacts of drilling.

Beauprez said those regulations are only hurting an industry that pumps millions of dollars into the state.

“Other states are more open for business for energy development and that’s where the jobs are going,” Beauprez said.

The two candidates also shared sharp exchanges on economic issues. Hickenlooper highlighted an economy that has improved under his watch, one that has resulted in 33 months of consecutive job growth and an unemployment rate that continues to drop.

But Beauprez said that the economy would be in a lot better shape if the government simply stayed out of the way of business. Beauprez said state regulations are largely responsible for that.

Beauprez also blasted federal regulations and the Affordable Care Act. That led to criticism from Hickenlooper for focusing on issues that are handled at the congressional level.

“Maybe you should be running for Congress if you want to go back and tackle the federal issues,” Hickenlooper said.

ENGLEWOOD CRIME REPORT Attempted robbery suspect caught

A 24-year-old man was arrested after he reportedly tried to break into a jewelry display case around 5 p.m. Sept.

8 at a store on the 200 block of West Belleview Avenue.

Police arrived on scene and found the suspect who, according to the report, began to resist the officers.

The 24-year-old was then taken into custody.

While searching the suspect, officers found he was carrying heroin and several credit cards that were issued to different names.

The investigation continued and, when police searched the suspect’s car, they found additional credit cards in different names, driver’s licenses in different names and drug paraphernalia.

Sex-assault suspect arrested

A 23-year-old woman called police around 5:30 p.m. Sept. 7 and told police her male roommate beat her and sexually assaulted her.

When officers arrived at the apartment on the 200 block of West Belleview

Avenue, the victim told police her 30-year-old roommate kept coming into her room, asking her to have sex with him.

She said she repeatedly told him no and told him to leave her room.

She said the man then jumped on top of her, punched her in the face and head and sexually assaulted her.

The victim said she tried to leave but the man stopped her and continued to assault her.

She said she was finally able to get out of the apartment by climbing out a bedroom window.

Police later found the suspect and took him into custody.

He was processed and taken to the Arapahoe County jail.

Teen allegedly chases man with bat

A teenage girl was arrested for assault after allegedly trying to hit her ex-boyfriend with a baseball bat.

Englewood police were called about 9:30 p.m. Sept. 3 by a caller who said there was a woman with a bat chasing a man down the 4300 block of South

Delaware Street.

Officers arrived and investigators learned a 17-year-old girl got into an argument with her ex-boyfriend.

The report said, as some point, the girl grabbed a baseball bat and tried to hit the man in the head.

He ran and she chased him with the bat.

Officers arrested the girl. She was later taken to the Arapahoe County Juvenile Assessment Center. Charges she could face could include menacing and domestic violence.

Senate candidates go head-to-head Grand Junction debate features Udall, Gardner

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Although President Barack Obama isn’t on the November ballot this year, he was very much a part of a U.S. Senate race debate that was held in Grand Junction on Sept. 6.

The president’s name dominated much of the fall’s first debate between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and Congressman Cory Gardner, his Republican opponent in a race that is of pivotal political importance nationally.

Gardner spent the early part of the debate hammering away at Udall for a voting record that is closely linked to the agenda of the Obama administration, which has long been mired in low approval ratings.

Those attacks included Udall’s support for the Affordable Care Act, Obama’s signature piece of legislation and a law that Gardner focused on much of the debate.

“Barack Obama and Mark Udall have put tremendous stress on our country,” Gardner said.

But Udall defended his support of Obamacare and said that putting millions more people on health insurance rolls and doing away with insurance companies’ restrictions on pre-existing conditions has been a good thing for the country.

The senator also said Obamacare is better than the Republican alternative.

“We had a system of health care in this country that discriminated against women and your party has refused to take action,” Udall said.

While Gardner tried to tie Obama to Udall throughout the debate, Udall responded toward the end of the debate with an assault on Gardner’s record on women’s issues - something the Udall campaign has been doing since the start

of the campaign.

Udall blasted Gardner over a congressional record that the senator said has fallen short on issues of importance to women. Udall highlighted Gardner’s previous votes to de-fund Planned Parenthood and Gardner’s prior support for the so-called “personhood” amendment, which would have resulted in an essential ban on abortion.

“Why are you getting in between women and their doctors?” Udall said.

Gardner responded by pivoting to the economy and its impact on women. He also took issue with Udall’s advertising onslaught against Gardner’s record on women’s issues.

“Millions of dollars of his message have simply and only been about social issues,” Gardner said.

The two are locked in a tight race that could have an impact on the balance of power in the Senate. Democrats currently hold an edge, but that can change if Republicans flip a handful of seats this fall, including Udall’s.

The two candidates also sparred on other issues, including energy development, social security and gridlock in Washington D.C. Interestingly, the two candidates were not asked about immigration reform — an issue that continues to go nowhere in Congress. Neither Gardner nor Udall asked each other about immigration when they were given the opportunity to ask their own questions toward the end of the debate.

Mostly, the debate featured two Washington elected officials attacking each other’s records.

After Gardner attacked Udall on issues that included water rights and homeland security, Udall mocked the congressman’s constant assault on his record.

“I’m curious what problem facing our nation I haven’t caused,” Udall said to cheers from his supporters.

Gardner’s base reacted similarly to the congressman’s response.

“Me too.”

Get success down to a tee Whenever we give someone a task or project to complete and we don’t provide them with the right tools, support, environment or expectations, it can be said that we are setting that person or that team up for failure.

This happens in the business world just as much as it happens in our personal lives, doesn’t it? We see it happen when we make rash decisions, hire staff without providing the proper onboarding or training, and when we set unrealistic goals. As a matter of fact, setting people up for failure has become so commonplace that we now look at it frivolously or use the failure as the brunt of our jokes and usually at the expense of at least one person or team.

Maybe failure has become easier than success. I mean, it’s easy to look into the future and predict what we will never achieve or cannot do as opposed to being forwardthinking and looking at what we can accomplish. And not only what we can accomplish but what our new hires, teammates, friends, and co-workers can achieve. And I think that setting the stage for success can be just as easily done as it is to set someone up for failure, and save us tons of time, money and resources.

Have you ever heard it said, “Teed up for success?” The ball is sitting on the tee, no wind, wide open fairway, and it is just so simple to imagine a smooth effortless swing that sends the golf ball soaring beautifully straight down the middle of the fairway. But you see,

the ball landing safely in the middle of the fairway is the result of hard work, practice, coaching and commitment. And whether we are talking about the professional golfer or the weekend amateur, when we think about being “teed up for success” we have to remember what that actually means and the hard work and dedication it took to get there.

Imagine just the opposite, we invite a friend or associate to a round of golf, they share with us they have never played before or it has actually been years since they have even swung a golf club. But since we really want to play and we need someone to round out our foursome we tell them not to worry, all will be well and we will just have fun. And then what do we do, we tell our friend, and maybe now former friend, that we are teeing off from the back tees, we have them using rented or borrowed clubs, and we forgot to tell them to bring enough golf balls. Fast-forward to the sixth hole and our once-a-summer golfing friend is completely frustrated and maybe even embarrassed, he

Words turn to mush when dog gets me going Smitty is on his dog bed next to me, sleeping. He is sleeping and making little woofs.

I don’t know — I wish I did — what he is dreaming about.

He might be dreaming about Miss October (Dachshund Edition) or the rabbit in the front yard who always gets away from him.

Smitty wags his tail in his sleep. I suppress the word “cute,” but it’s cute. I admit it: Smitty softens my edges.

Sometimes when I read the newspaper, I touch Smitty with my left hand. I guess I am hoping that his good energy will cancel some of the bad energy that comes out of the daily news.

Smitty is my shadow. He follows me everywhere I go, but he pouts when I paint, and goes to the couch. This is starting to sound a little buttery. That’s what our pets do to us.

I think it is very clear by now that he is glued to me and I am glued to him.

Smitty was my father’s nickname and it was mine, when I was in high school. No one calls me Smitty anymore. Thankfully.

I try to write a column about him every six weeks. I feel better when I am writing about him. It seems like the rest of the time I am a humbug about something.

My own constant drone of negative reporting gets to me. Unfortunately, I am good at it — making comments about disturbing human behavior. Like the maltreatment of women and children. And animals.

“CEO loses job after kicking puppy.”

Marshall continues on Page 9

or she is dreading the back nine, our other golfing buddies are tired of playing a slow round, looking for golf balls after every shot, patience is wearing thin, and now they too are dreading the back nine. Everyone was set up for failure.

The very same thing happens in sales, in management, in the chores we give our children, in the homework that is assigned, and in new tasks and projects in companies and organizations all over the world each and every day. And it is so easy to point the finger of “I told you so” instead of taking the time necessary to equip everyone with the proper tools and support, guidance and coaching, and appropriate setting of expectations to set the stage for success instead of failure.

Setting good goals, setting stretch goals, keeping them realistic, and taking the time to help others get teed up for success may seem like it could be time-consuming, but I can promise you that it takes far less time and energy when we compare it to the costs of setting people up to fail.

Are you teed up for success? Have you set the stage for others to succeed? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when the stage for success has been set, it will be a better than good week.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Think light rail instead of toll lanes I would like to respond to the Christy Steadman article, “CDOT hears public comment on C-470 project,” which was published Aug. 28.

Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas county residents approved the building of E-470 back in 1989, with a $10 per vehicle tax.

And I bet 90 percent of these people don’t even use E-470. One week before the election, it was rumored that E-470 would be a toll road. I told myself that this was Colorado and we don’t have toll roads here and that would not happen. Well I was wrong!

Don’t try to make C-470 between Wadsworth and I-25 have toll lanes. Instead, use that money to build light rail. If you build light rail, they will come! Also, make sure the light rail line can handle doubledecker rail cars. Think to the future.

This way C-470 light rail users can connect to the I-25/I-225/DIA light rail and not have to go downtown via light rail to get to DIA. Ronald Nigh Highlands Ranch

What I learned over State shows the way on infrastructure summer vacation There’s almost nothing better than a summer vacation and seeing new scenery.

This summer, I took my eldest daughter to Columbia University for grad school, where she will be attending seminary. It was a gorgeous drive, precious time with her, and as a student of life, I had to ask myself, “What did you learn?”

Unique to my learning this time, was not only my perspective as a state senator, but more poignantly, a single mom leaving her daughter in a faraway place…by herself…possibly, never to return to live.

To me, traveling is the experiential lesson in appreciating both the journey and the final destination. As with each road trip, you’ve got to know how to enjoy the drive as well as the victory of making it to your next dot on the map. In reviewing our 2014 session and my daughter’s college graduation, I was reminded this summer that I do enjoy not only the outcomes, but also the journey of being a mom and a legislator.

As a legislator driving across the country, I couldn’t help noticing the similarities and differences between our state and others. I am proud to say that I’ve been to all 50 states and have been touched by the expansiveness and beauty of the American landscapes and our people.

Although the scenery in each state might be different, the people are basically the same — just wanting to have a productive career or enjoy retirement. In the Midwest, our Colorado agriculture looks similar - cornfields and cows. Yet in the east with their lush green panoramas, no signs of unfortunate drought effects that we have here.

Driving 2,300 miles without seeing one real mountain, though, it was fantastic to see politically red, blue, and purple states so committed to clean-energy wind turbines and multi-modal public transportation.

But the toll roads, ugh! Every time you go over a border, bridge, or new turnpike,

Marshall Continued from Page 8

Desmond Hague, CEO of a catering company, lost his job after nearly 193,000 signatures demanded it, after he kicked a Doberman pinscher puppy. It was captured in a video. I tried to watch the video and couldn’t.

The shape of the puppy’s head reminded me too much of Smitty’s.

Hague apologized.

I’ve decided that the newspaper needs an apology section. Everyone is apologizing to someone.

“I’d like to apologize to my team, the organization, our fans, and the city of Baltimore.

This is not who I am.”

But it is. We fail. We fail all of the time. In the moment, we are pushed to an edge that betrays us, and everything is on film these days.

Ravens running back Ray Rice punched his girlfriend in the face. There’s a video. Rice, initially given a two-game suspension, has since been cut by the team and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. Broncos punter Matt Prater drank beer

you’re getting dinged for a toll. I spent over $100 in tolls by the time we were done. I have to say, though, their roads were in better shape than ours. Guess you pay for it somehow; whether it’s in tolls, fees, and taxes or in new tires, alignments, and suspensions. Just need to be prepared either way.

As a mom, watching her daughter start her new life in New York City? I learned that NYC, with all its hectic energy, crowded streets, and Central Park beauty, is a wonderful place for grad students to individuate from their parents. I have learned comfort from knowing that Union Theological Seminary (where she has just moved in) is an oasis of peace, deep knowledge and spiritual support. I know that my daughter will be able to catapult the new trajectory of her life very positively.

As for me? I am now learning again how to “let go and let God.” Far away from the city that never sleeps, where Kate Newell is sleeping soundly, is a mom in Colorado wide awake, missing her daughter.

Linda Newell is the state senator of Senate District 26, which encompasses Bow Mar, Columbine Valley, Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, west Centennial and parts of Aurora. She can be reached at (303) 866-4846 or Linda.newell.senate@gmail.com or SenLindaNewell.com. in his home. Prater was suspended for four games prior to Rice’s lengthier punishment.

It worries me to think what kind of a man I would be if it hadn’t been for Badger and Smitty. I bought Badger when she was six weeks old. She weighed about as much as a russet potato.

Smitty was 5 when I adopted him, and he already had a suspended personality.

I know that if Smitty — and Jennifer — weren’t in my life that I wouldn’t be worth reading. I would be dark and cranky all of the time.

I get more emails after I write about Smitty than about anything else. No one ever says that I am too obsessed. But I know.

Hague said, “I am ashamed and deeply embarrassed.”

We spend billions of dollars a year on our pets. Some pets are treated better than children are treated.

Smitty will be 11 next month. Badger was 15 when she died. Smits is full of pep, he has great veterinarian care, a healthy diet and we go for two, three or four short walks a day.

See? I could never be a field journalist.

Smitty wouldn’t be allowed to go with me.

He is my other heartbeat.

Because Family Matters...

Let Ours Take Care of Yours.

Colorado’s economy relies on its workers’ ability to safely get to their jobs and send their kids to school. It needs businesses to have the ability to efficiently ship their products to market. It requires safe and sanitary water and sewer systems, as well as energy grids that can handle increasing demands.

Across the state, our communities are finding ways to build innovative infrastructure to ensure we remain competitive. We had the opportunity to learn more about several of these projects on our “Infrastructure Colorado: Planes, Trains, Automobiles and More” tour last month. The tour highlighted many of our state’s infrastructure projects that are helping drive our economy forward. We spoke with leaders in local communities about their current needs and the types of investments it will take to build better roads, railways, dams, utility grids, and airports for the next generation.

We kicked off our tour with a mobile town hall on RTD’s recently completed West Line to Golden, where we met with transit, civic and business leaders. They emphasized the vital link between these types of transit projects and robust economic development in the region. We also joined Denver Mayor Michael Hancock for a glimpse of the development plans for Denver International Airport and had the chance to see the amazing work CDOT is doing on the Twin Tunnels expansion. In Fort Collins, we rode the newly completed MAX Rapid Transit bus that’s connecting commuters to Midtown, Colorado State University and Old Town, and we met with community leaders in Loveland to discuss the importance of long-term transportation planning and investment in Northern Colorado.

These types of innovative projects aren’t limited to the Front Range.

In the Roaring Fork Valley we met with folks on the VelociRFTA Bus Rapid Transit system — the first rural bus rapid transit system in the nation. We talked with Union Pacific engineers on our coal train ride from Dotsero to Glenwood Springs about their vision for future growth and toured the Red Cliff water treatment plant.

In Pueblo, we had the opportunity to visit

Transportation Technology Center Inc. — a world-class research facility that’s developing cutting-edge safety technology for the nation’s railroad industry.

At each of these stops, local leaders made it clear that there is a critical need for funding certainty from the federal government. Congress’ failure to pass long-term highway, transit and other infrastructure bills leaves local communities guessing about what kind of support and resources — if any — will be available as they work to maintain and upgrade roads, water and sewer systems, and transit stations.

Coloradans continue to find collaborative ways to finance forward-looking infrastructure projects across the state, all while Washington continues to kick the can down the road. In typical fashion, Congress has managed to “keep the lights on” for another couple of months by passing a short-term extension for the Highway Trust Fund, which was just days away from insolvency. The extension is set to expire in May, putting us right back in the same predicament early next year and leaving state and local transportation departments unable to plan. Despite Colorado’s successes, without a predictable infrastructure plan from Congress we won’t be able to continue to build, or even maintain, the infrastructure we need to be safe and to compete in today’s economy.

Congressional failure to act threatens our economy, our competitiveness and our safety. Washington should follow Colorado’s example and find collaborative, long-term solutions for our infrastructure needs.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Malley wins softball title Team steps up when tourney time comes

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Like four-legged cats often surprise their owners, the Malley Cats softball team surprised its manager and a lot of observers by taking top honors at the Colorado Senior Softball Association E Division Post Season Tournament.

“I was amazed at how well we played during the tournament. We really came together, caught fire and everyone played outstanding softball,” said Don Picker, Malley player-manager. “When the season started, I figured we would be about average with a .500 record and we did have a 6-6 record. The play at the tournament was on a higher level.”

He said the team did play better in the final regular season games, but he can’t explain what happened when they took the field for the tournament games.

“We played like a very good team. We fielded well and we got a lot of hits. There was no hitting leader, but it seemed a few players would hit well in one game, and the next game it was a few others who got the hits for us. A big key is, all our ladies hit very well in all our tournament games,” he said. “The result was we went undefeated in all four tournament games and won the championship.”

Picker has played with the Malley team for 14 seasons and became the player-manager about four years ago.

He said the Malley team has won the league tournament several times.

Their last championships were the back-to-back wins in 2007 and 2008.

This year, Malley played 12 games with a roster of 12 to 14 players.

Picker said the Cats are different from most of the teams because of the number of women on the roster.

He said Malley had five women on the roster who were in uniform for almost every game and there were at least three women on the field every inning.

The tournament was held Aug 19-21 on one of the diamonds at Foothills Park in Jefferson County.

Malley was in a five-team tournament and played all opponents.

Cherrelyn Norton pitched all four tournament game, including the championship game against the Lakewood Hawks.

“Lakewood was an all-male team that was in a higher division last year,” said We are community.

Carolyn Armstrong, a Malley player.

“They were undefeated coming into the game, but we beat them 11-6 to win the championship.”

She agreed with the manager that the team really stepped up for the tournament.

“We go out every game to play hard and have fun, and we had the same attitude at the tournament,” she said. “The reason I have been playing for seven seasons is the team’s attitude. The whole idea is to have fun playing on a team where everyone is supporting their teammates. We like to win, but win or lose, we just enjoy playing softball.”

Small business center shifts offices Satellite site opens in Lone Tree city building

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Lone Tree restaurateurs Lucinda and Jimmy Crane just celebrated eight months of owning their own business.

“Some things were meant to be, and this is one of them,” Lucinda Crane said of the family-run Cranelli’s Italian Restaurant on Park Meadows Drive.

She credits the successful launch of the business not just to the couple’s restaurant and business backgrounds, but also to the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center. Advisers there helped the couple prepare their business plan for an ultimately successful loan application to the

Colorado Enterprise Fund.

The center intends to write similar success stories in its new City of Lone Tree satellite office, located in the same office that houses the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce. The suite is in the Lone Tree City Administration building at 9220 Kimmer Drive.

The SBDC, housed at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce offices in Centennial since 2003, now has moved its main office to the City of Aurora Municipal Center at 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. Aurora previously served as its satellite office.

At its new satellite Lone Tree office, consulting will be available by appointment only.

The SBDC helps existing and new businesses in Arapahoe, Douglas and south Jefferson counties grow by offering quality, free, one-on-one consulting and free or low-cost workshops.

“We are thrilled to have the city of Aurora as our new host center,” said Marcia McGil-

ley, executive director of the South Metro Denver and Aurora SBDCs. “The City of Lone Tree is centrally located and has easy access off of I-25 and C-470 for our south metro area clients. We look forward to building strong relationships with our new hosts and their communities, and we appreciate their desire to work so closely with the SBDC.” Lone Tree Chamber staff members, who will share space with the SBDC, see the joint location as mutually beneficial.

“We are very excited about having the Small Business Development Center satellite office in the City of Lone Tree,” said chamber spokeswoman Donna Russell. “Douglas County is the fastest-growing county in Colorado, and one of the fastest-growing areas in the country. I like to say that Lone Tree is the economic hub of Douglas County, and we are certainly centrally located within the south Denver economic corridor.

“The Lone Tree satellite office gives the

SBDC a central location in which to assist the new and rapidly growing small business community which is so vital to our economy. This location adds value for our Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce members, as well, so we are very pleased.”

Those who haven’t started their business or have been in operation less than a year are urged to take two to four start-up SBDC classes. The classes are offered free at Douglas County Libraries. One-on-one consulting also is available.

The South Metro Denver SBDC is one of 14 centers in the Colorado network.

In 2013, more than 2,000 clients received one-on-one consulting and training through the South Metro Denver SBDC, with 56 new businesses launched and more than 365 jobs created or retained.

Police investigate suspicious death

Reasons to feel crowded top 3 million

Passer-by called when he saw body in the creek near Lehow Avenue

Metro-area population likely went past mark in middle of August

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood investigators continue probing the details surrounding the death of 30-year-old Zachary Daniel Coronado, whose body was found lying face down in the creek off Lehow Avenue.

The Arapahoe County Coroner’s office released the name of the Littleton man. However, they are awaiting the completion of the investigation and the toxicology reports to help determine a cause of death. Until then, it is being investigated as a suspicious death.

Coronado’s body was found about 8:45 a.m. Sept. 6 by a man walking on the bike

that students would eat and enjoy.”

She said that in past years, schools used a lot of prepackaged and premade items like baked goods and sauces that contained preservatives and were often high in sugar and fat.

“We replaced prepackaged baked items like muffins and oatmeal bars with the ones we bake here on site that contain less sugar, are lower in fat and, since they are freshly baked, the items contain no preservatives,” Franklin said. “The kids seem to like the items. At one of the elementary schools recently all but five of the 70 children eating breakfast chose to eat a muffin baked in our kitchen.”

On Sept. 3, Franklin offered a group of high school students an opportunity to sample the muffins, banana bread and oatmeal bars.

“This is surprisingly good,” Kayla Steffens said as she tried a muffin sample. “I tried each of the items and they were really tasty. I didn’t know they were making baked goods like this for the school.”

Classmate Keegal Absey agreed.

“I tried the banana bread and it is good,” he said. “It is very similar to the banana bread we eat at home. I tried the zucchini bread too and, while I don’t like zucchini, I like the bread. Everything I sampled tasted good and it is healthy food.”

Franklin said Englewood is moving away from packaged foods like macaroni and cheese and spaghetti sauce.

On Sept. 3, the crew was cooking the macaroni and preparing to make the cheese sauce for the macaroni and cheese that were

path south of the 300 block of West Lehow Avenue.

There are no residents in the area. The area is bordered on the north by a large open field. The bike path follows the bank of the creek and is shaded by trees on both sides of the creek.

When police arrived, the 23-year-old witness showed officers the place where the man’s body was lying face down in the creek.

Officers confirmed the man was dead.

Members of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit came to the scene to assist with the investigation. Representatives of the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office also were called and came to the scene.

The police news release said investigators reported there were no obvious signs of trauma and there does not appear to be any danger to the public.

Englewood police released no other information and said the case is still under investigation.

part of the Sept. 4 lunch menu.

“Since the mac and cheese is made from scratch, there are no preservatives used,” she said. “We will use our own recipe using 30 pounds of cheese for a tasty sauce for the dish.”

She said plans are to cook the sauce used for pizza and spaghetti.

“We will make our sauce by stewing the tomatoes and adding the spices in our kitchen,” Franklin said. “Our sauce will be freshly made, there will be no preservatives added and it will have less sugar and fat than commercial sauces.”

The production kitchen provides about 750 hot lunches and 175 cold lunches a day to supply schools in the district.

Demetris Gibbs, who heads the production kitchen staff, was cooking the macaroni for the macaroni and cheese on the next day’s menu.

“I have always been interested in cooking and I came here because I like the mountains and the different culinary scene,” the former North Carolina resident said. “I really like my job. I like the challenges to prepare good food the children will like to eat.”

The meals for the high school are produced in the kitchen on the other side of the wall from the production kitchen.

As lunchtime nears, the staff is busy preparing the food line.

On one side of the line there is a rack of fresh fruit, while on the food line there is an array of items for salads. The students also can choose a cold lunch, like a turkey sandwich on flat bread.

Diana McFarlin, kitchen manager, was busy getting ready to serve lunch as she was cooking and cutting pizzas, one of the most popular items with high school students.

“We make our pizzas here,” she said.

Englewood High School students Kayle Steffens, left, and Keigan Absey sample some of the baked goods prepared in the school kitchen.

Staff report The population of the Denver metro area was expected to exceed 3 million last month, according to state estimates.

The Colorado Department of Local Affairs uses the month of July to forecast population numbers annually. The department estimated that the Denver metro area’s population on July 1 would have been 2,994,534 and would have passed the 3 million mark in August.

Elizabeth Garner, a state demographer, said the average monthly increase in population in the Denver metro area is 3,551, meaning its population

“Each pizza has a whole-wheat crust and we use low-fat cheese on each pie. The kids tell me the pizzas are very good. They like them

reached 3 million in mid-August.

Garner said the growing population can be attributed to a healthy economy in the Denver area.

“There is a high correlation between job growth and population change,” she said. “We’re toward the top in the U.S. in terms of recovery and growing jobs.”

Garner said population numbers in Larimer and Weld counties are growing at an even faster rate than the Denver metro area, thanks to high job growth in the oil and gas industry there.

But other parts of the state, such as the Western Slope and parts of the southeast, are losing residents.

Garner said that can be attributed to jobs leaving those parts of the state and not coming back.

“If you don’t have a job, it’s hard to stay,” she said.

and eat them, so we know we are serving them healthier food than the prepared pizzas we used to use.”

Fifth annual Out of Darkness Walk unites 1,500 in suicide prevention

By Jane Reuter jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ridgegate.com

A more natural approach to new urbanism.

It’s so refreshing to be connected to Denver, but have your own urban oasis outside of the chaos. This is the mixed-use sustainable community of RidgeGate.

Light rail for an easy commute. Bikeable and walkable paths. Oh yeah, and 1,000 acres of preserved natural open space for your backyard. Come check out the homes. The shops. And the wildlife. Just south of Lincoln Avenue in Lone Tree.

Tony and Valerie Marietta, who lost their daughter to suicide, almost didn’t come to the Sept. 6 South Metro Out of the Darkness Walk.

“We weren’t emotionally sure we could do it,” said Tony Marietta, carrying a large, full-color poster displaying four photographs of his late daughter with the quote, `Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness to pull another hand into the light.’ “But we just decided it was something we should do.”

The Mariettas were living in Monument in March 2012 when Sarah, 22, jumped off the Royal Gorge bridge. A high school and college athlete, as well as a ballet dancer, she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 19.

“She had the most severe form of bipolar disorder,” Tony Marietta said. “But she had just a very good personality. She was funny, too. We were real hopeful everything was going well … when we got the phone call.”

The Mariettas, dedicated not just to suicide prevention but bipolar awareness, were among several groups of people at Highlands Ranch High School carrying signs with photographs of loved ones’ faces or wearing matching T-shirts bearing the name or photograph of a family member or friend lost to suicide.

More than 1,500 people walked in the annual event, among hundreds of walks nationwide organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The Highlands Ranch event raised more than $90,000 that will be used for suicide awareness and prevention.

“I felt like I need to be an advocate,” said Littleton resident Rhonda Watson, who lost her 50-year-old sister Cherianne Matzenbacher of Roxborough to suicide four months ago. “If it wasn’t for the support group I was going to, I felt like I could be in the same situation she was.”

Watson wore a T-shirt that depicted a smiling blonde woman wearing an orange boa.

“She was my best friend,” Watson said. “But we couldn’t save her.

“We need to be more open and talk about (suicide).”

Cathy Kennedy, whose friends and family wore orange T-shirts bearing a photographed head shot of her 16-yearold son Cory, moved back to the Denver area from New York after he died from suicide in July 2012.

“He’s missed dearly,” said Cathy Kennedy, whose 2014 walk was her fourth since his death. “We’re out here to represent, to get people to talk about these things.”

Though the morning event started under gray skies and with cool temperatures, the sun broke through at about 10:45 a.m. near the end of opening ceremonies. Volunteers released several dozen butterflies into the air, which soared above the hundreds of walkers as they left the parking lot and began the 3-mile walk.

The annual event, now in its fifth year, initially was organized by Sheri Cole, who lost her son David to suicide in 2009. Cole now is the AFSP’s Rocky Mountain area director.

This year’s South Metro Walk chair is Laurie Freeman, who lost both her teenaged son and her husband to suicide.

The week of Sept. 8-12 is National Suicide Prevention Week. For more information, visit www.afsp.org.

‘CITYSCAPES’ as art

Town Hall exhibit has urban look

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Town Hall Arts Center’s exhibit coordinator, Nancy Boyson, is trying to plan exhibits for the Littleton venue’s Stanton Gallery that relate to what’s playing upstairs in the theater.

In this case, the musical is “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and she thought a city/architectural theme would work.

Painters Elayne Moseley, Alan Zeigel and Sue Fraley open a show called “The Art of Cityscapes” on Sept. 11, running through Nov. 5.

Moseley exhibits work from her “Architectural Lingua” series, including the view of Denver’s Golden Triangle, painted en plein air while seated outside.

She works in oil paint with traditional brushes on stretched canvas.

She thinks “one’s artwork must reflect that journey that the artist takes and express it in such a way that the viewer feels the artist’s passion.”

She teaches drawing at the Art Students League of Denver and works in her home studio as well as outdoors.

Alan Zeigel was trained in watercolor while a student in architecture at CU/Boulder.

He lived in France and traveled in Europe, Asia and South America.

He was a founder of OZ Architecture with Tom Obermeier, then returned to watercolor, studying at the Art Students League of Denver.

He is a Signature member of the Colorado Watercolor Society and exhibits at Bell Gallery.

Sue Fraley said her interest in painting urban scenes began after a visit to Zihuatanejo, a small fishing village on the west coast of Mexico, with luminous white and pastel buildings.

IF YOU GO Stanton Gallery is located in Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances.

“How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” runs Sept. 12 through Oct. 12. 303794-2787, townhallartscenter.org.

When she got home, she painted a number of works from her photographs. She then began to explore Denver’s architecture.

She works in oil and paints outdoors on many days.

For 25 years, she worked as an architectural drafter and bases most of her paintings on street scenes in downtown Denver.

She is a member of the Art Students League of Denver and participates in the annual Summer Art Market there.

It sounded like a match made in Republican heaven when Monica Owens, daughter of former Gov. Bill Owens and ex-wife Frances, and John Beauprez, professional poker player and marketing specialist and son of governor wannabe Bob Beauprez and wife Claudia, got engaged on the Fourth of July.

And if the upcoming gubernatorial election goes their way, Monica could have the distinction of being the daughter and daughter-in-law of two Colorado governors.

The cute couple celebrated their engagement among friends and family on Aug. 30. On her Facebook page, Monica said that as of Aug. 28, the wedding was exactly six months away.

Monica, a Republican pundit and owner of Owens Public Affairs, and John, who’s all over social media for his poker prowess, found each other when John’s mom, Claudia, strategically seated the young’uns next to each other at a black-tie dinner.

And just in case you want to give the betrothed a wedding gift, they are registered at www.registry.theknot.com/monica-owensjohn-beauprez-february-2015/9018648.

Elway sells Aspen crib

Pro Football Hall-of-Famer, Broncos VP and restaurateur John Elway recently sold his Aspen abode for $23 million, according to the website imfromdenver.com.

The home, which looks like a rock-star mansion, features six bedrooms and 10 baths in 15,889 square feet. The posh pad includes a gym, game room, media room, master wing with two offices, a spa and an infinity pool with adjacent outdoor kitchen.

Check out photos of the interior, exterior and the spectacular mountain view at www.imfromdenver.com/2014/08/07/take-a-peek-insidejohn-elways-aspen-mansion/.

Kevin Taylor comes to Aurora

Denver’s Kevin Taylor Restaurant Group, helmed by renowned chef Kevin Taylor, will open a new restaurant and beer hall in the recently announced development Stanley Marketplace at 2501 Dallas St. in Aurora, just a few feet from the southern border of Stapleton.

Unlike Taylor’s other Denver restaurants, which include Palettes at the Denver Art Museum, Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House and Limelight Supper Club & Lounge, this restaurant and beer hall will exist in a casual industrial atmosphere, highlighting the architecture of the former Stanley Aviation Building, where airplane ejector seats were manufactured for roughly 50 years.

The menu will offer items made with locally sourced produce, as well as craft beer and local wines and spirits.

“I’m excited to move forward with our next venture in a different way,” said Taylor. “Approachable restaurants are the future, and I believe we can provide the level of cuisine for which we’re known, but in a way that is appealing to everyone, and fits within Stanley, and the surrounding community, perfectly.”

Union Station eatery opens

Alex Seidel, winner of Food & Wine magazine’s 2010 Best New Chef and owner of Denver’s award-winning Fruition Restaurant, has carried his culinary talent to the historic Union Station redevelopment project on Wynkoop Street with the opening of Mercantile Dining & Provision on Sept. 8.

The 75-seat restaurant is open evenings only, serving dinner from 5-10 p.m. Sunday through

Littleton bear artist heads for top show Hugglets festival in London isn’t kid stuff

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Early on the morning of Sept. 14, a line will form outside the Kensington Town Hall on Hornton Street in London (by Kensington Gardens). These individuals hope to be among the first to enter the Hugglets Teddy Bear Festival — three floors of booths in four halls — featuring 170 teddy bear artists and vendors of related items.

The choice bears sell fast. The organizers promise that there will be over 10,000 teddy bears available to collectors.

The bears are not kids’ toys — they are pricey collector treasures, beloved worldwide.

Among the exhibitors from Britain and around the world will be bear artist Michelle Lamb of Littleton, who will bring the newest creations from her business, One and Only Bears.

She will exhibit about 15-20 one-of-a-kind meticulously detailed bears (large and miniature), rabbits and a squirrel. Some wear beautifully made costumes and all have carefully sculpted mouths, eyes, ears and noses that give them a distinct personality. She speaks of her art as “soft sculpture.”

Included: a red, white and blue drummer named Britain and a tall pink mohair rabbit — reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland’s perpetually late friend. The latter has a starched collar and leans against a small trellis with flowers.

Dark gray mohair “Argenta” has a greenish cast and sports a green ruff and skirt, plus a hat of felt flowers.

“Arabella,” dressed in elaborate frock and hat, was displeasing her maker when we visited: The eyes didn’t “look right.” Eyes were also an issue with a tiny white “Troubadour” bear, but we are certain proper adjustments were made before their travels began.

Lamb departed a week early for a special teddy bear tea at a shop in Aberdeen, Scotland, called Silly Bear. (“Winnie-thePooh” fans will recall Christopher Robin’s affectionate “silly old bear” expression.) Lamb had previously shipped 10 bears for this collectors’ event.

While at Hugglets, Lamb will teach a class in needle sculpting and shaping a bear’s head and mouth — her specialty. Participants will bring a pre-cut and filled bear head with them.

Sometimes when she teaches, she supplies patterns for her students.

And she will work with two students from abroad after she returns to Denver, she said.

She hopes all her bears will sell early — although they will

“Britain” a custom teddy bear, made especially fot the Hugglets Fair, will be in Michelle Lamb’s display. remain on display through the day. Then she can shop. She buys her special mohair at these shows — much of it comes from Germany, the home of the famous Steiff teddy bears.

She also prowls resale stores continually for old mohair coats, but not so many are available any more. She may also locate odd jewelry, buttons, bits of ribbons, lace and fabric that go into her collection of treasures — slated to reappear later on new bears. (A visit to her studio summons up an image of an old curiosity cabinet.)

Lamb said she was working in design and was laid off when her first baby was born. She started crafts and made “craftquality bears” and other items.

In 2000, One and Only Bears came to life as she learned what was involved in making an “artist-quality” bear. Her website speaks of her involvement in this highly specialized universe: “The ability to create beauty from such disparate parts as fabric, hardware, glass and fluffy filler remains a constant wonder to me and my goal is for this same wonder to come across in the faces of my teddy bears. They are individually designed to have their own unique personality and I spend as much time as necessary to needle and sculpt a face until its `soul’ comes out and speaks to me …”

She finishes one to two bears a week, which makes it hard to keep up with demand.

Colorado Ballet gets home of its own Renovated warehouse stands at north end of arts district

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com For the first time in its 54-year history, the Colorado Ballet owns its home. The organization recently left its longtime location at 13th and Lincoln (owned by the State Land Board) and moved into 1075 Santa Fe Drive, a former warehouse.

A capital campaign raised funds for the $6.5 million facility.

It was transformed into 30,000 square feet of renovated space, tailored to the ballet company’s needs by Semple Brown Design. The firm also designed the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, where Colorado Ballet dancers perform regularly (as well as at the Newman Center).

The new facility, which houses the professional company and the Colorado Ballet Academy, features seven studios and a Black Box Theater, which also serves as a studio with theatrical lighting. Here the company can expand outreach to its new neighbors and people with disabilities — and offer small performances in the theater, according to artistic director Gil Boggs.

Expect student performances in the Black Box Theater on First Fridays, for example.

“The search for a new space for the Colorado Ballet has been our priority for nearly a decade, thus the opportunity to turn a quiet structure in Santa Fe Drive into a theatrical showcase for the dancers and organization has truly been an honor,” Boggs said.

Colorado Ballet moved into its new home at 1075 Santa Fe Drive, designed

by Semple Brown Architecture. Photo by David Lauer In addition to providing the organization with a permanent home, the location is a new anchor at the north end of the thriving arts district.

The company begins an expanded season on Sept. 26 with a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, followed by “Dracula” from Oct. 31Nov. 2 and “The Nutcracker” from Nov. 26 to Dec. 27. In 2015, programs will include “Ballet Masterworks” and “Peter and the Wolf.” Tickets: coloradoballet.org or 303-837-8888, ext. 2.

The organization presents more than 50 performances annually.

Worth the wait: Horschel wins BMW Tournament at Cherry Hills sets up 2014 PGA Tour playoff finale

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Billy Horschel hit his second shot on the 18th hole and then sprinted up the hill to visit the restroom.

Horschel obviously had more on his mind than winning the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, but he really didn’t have much to worry about on the tournament’s final hole.

“I’m sure the whole world saw me sprint,” said Horschel. “I had to go to the bathroom and I had been holding it for way too many holes, and I just felt like, I could sort of relax and let’s just go ahead to the bathroom before I can’t go.

“We knew Bubba (Watson) missed his

birdie putt and we knew we had a two-shot lead. So that was huge.”

Horschel, the 27-year-old Floridian, closed with a 1-under par 69 on Sept. 7 after rounds of 68, 66 and 63 for a 14-under par 266 total. He won by two shots over Watson, who had a final-round 66, in Colorado’s first PGA Tour event since 2006.

The victory was worth a first-place check of $1.44 million for Horschel and 2,500 FedEx points.

“This win means a lot to me,” Horschel said of his second PGA victory. “I didn’t have my great stuff and I was able to grind something out and get the victory at the end of the day.”

It was a better outcome than at the Deutsche Bank Championship Sept. 1, when a bad 6-iron shot on the 18th hole dropped Horschel into a second-place tie.

Course, Colorado meet challenge Cherry Hills draws rave reviews following BMW Championship

By Jim Benton

jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Hills Country Club is a traditional, classic course with subtle greens and short yardage to tantalize professional golfers.

However, the course held up well during the BMW Championship that concluded Sept. 7, and large crowds left golfers and fans wondering if the 92-year-old club could again host another prominent PGA tournament. Professional Golf Association and Western Golf Association administrators indicated that Colorado and Cherry Hills would be considered.

“The course was good,” said Billy Horschel who won the BMW with a 14-under par 266. “Hopefully we can come back in the future. Hopefully there will be a regular tour (event) out here in Denver because a lot of fans came out this week and supported us.

“So hopefully we can get another PGA Tour event back here because it’s a great place.”

More than 125,000 fans attended the four days of the tournament — the pen-

ultimate stop in the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs — at the course in Cherry Hills Village. That impressed Rory McIlroy.

“The fans and crowds were amazing all week,” he said. “It’s a beautiful area and it was a pleasure to play in front of so many people.”

The BMW was the first men’s professional tournament in Colorado since the 2010 Senior PGA Championship was held at the Colorado Golf Club in Parker. The last regular Colorado stop on the PGA Tour was in 2006 at the International, which was played at Castle Pines.

“It was a home run,” said Colorado Golf Association executive director Ed Mate when asked about the BMW. “It was a home run because I couldn’t image anything going any better.

“It was a record-setting event for the Western Golf Association and we haven’t seen the final figures yet. The golf course played well and the crowds were fantastic and the fact that the governor and mayor came out speaks volumes of the golf support in Colorado. The only thing I would have liked to have seen was a little more dramatic finish.”

Cherry Hills hosted its 11th PGA Tour championship event and the biggest problem BMW officials faced was finding alternate parking arrangements because some lots were unavailable because of rain that soaked the area the evening of Sept. 4.

Rory McIlroy stares down his tee shot at the fifth hole during the second round of the BMW Championship Sept. 5 at Cherry Hills Country Club. Photo by Chris Michlewicz Players complained a little about what they called concrete greens during the first

round Sept. 4 but the rain softened the greens for the final three rounds.

The three toughest holes on the course were the 247-yard, par 3 15th; the 204-yard, par 2 12th; and the 526-yard, par 4 fifth hole.

McIlroy found the 12th extremely tough as he four-putted twice on the green.

The 346-yard first hole was inviting for the long hitters who tried to match Arnold Palmer’s feat of driving the green in the 1960 U.S. Open with equipment and balls that didn’t measure up to the modern gear.

Only 10 of the 177 golfers that tried to drive the green actually had their tee shots come to rest on the putting surface. There was just one eagle made from the group of 10 golfers.

Scoring average on the par-70, 7,352yard course was 69.84 for the tournament as players adjusted quickly to the altitude, which allows the ball to carry farther than at sea level.

“I don’t think it was that difficult because you just put 10 percent into your yardages and pretty much play the same numbers,” said Morgan Hoffmann, who set a competitive course record with a third-round 62 and his final-round score of 63 vaulted him into a third-place finish.

“So if you trust the yardage, it’s obviously going to look a little further than the number. But if you trust it, it wasn’t a problem for most players. I don’t think they had much difficulty.”

An autograph-seeker’s heaven at PGA pro-am Fans rub elbows with favorite players

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com It’s a good day to be a golf fan during a PGA tournament practice round.

On the Wednesday leading into the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club, players had their usual chance to become familiar with the course while amateurs had the opportunity to play alongside top tour professionals.

The Sept. 3 pro-am also enabled fans, big and small, to meet their idols. And none were happier than Mikaela Walker, an 11-year-old who met her favorite player, Keegan Bradley, as he walked off the No. 4 green. Walker, who made the trip from Grand Junction with her mom, was left speechless after Bradley made brief conversation and signed her hat while she smiled uncontrollably.

It was a typical scene at the pristine course, and more than half of the autograph-seekers were grown men who relished the chance to rub elbows with the PGA pros they watch on television. Corey Ard, a 42-year-old Northglenn man who describes himself as a “golf junkie,” made no attempt to mask his giddiness over the occasion: it was his first time attending a PGA event.

“I’m like a kid in a candy store,” he said from a perfectlystaked-out spot that gave him a view of four different holes.

Ard arrived at 7 a.m., and by 4 p.m., he had collected nearly 20 signatures, including one from Rickie Fowler scrawled on an orange hat similar to one Fowler customarily wears during final-round play. The remainder of the autographs decorated a commemorative BMW Championship flag Ard purchased in the pro shop.

As a testament to his obsessiveness with the sport, one of Ard’s most prized signatures came not from a golfer, but from Fluff Cowan, the well-known caddie for Jim Furyk, with whom Ard also had a chance to chat. He also had designs on getting the flag signed by TV commentator Roger Maltbie.

There is already a place on Ard’s wall where the flag will be hung, complete with a frame.

“I eat, drink, sleep golf,” said Ard, who has a ticket for the final round. “I watch golf, I listen to PGA tour (radio) all the time and play as much as I can — two or three times a week.”

The excitement over the PGA’s return to Denver after eight years away was palpable, with sizable crowds on what is normally a light day in terms of attendance.

And because it’s a playoff tournament in which the top 70 players are battling for points, stakes are higher and the enthusiasm is that much greater.

But with a practice-day atmosphere looser than typicallyserious tournament play, some of the golfers seemed to enjoy the playful banter as much as the audience.

Ever the fan favorite, Phil Mickelson greeted star-struck spectators after pulling his ball to the left of the 18th fairway.

One fan was brave enough to challenge “Lefty” to a $100 bet that he wouldn’t hit the green. Mickelson considered it, but declined, jokingly insisting that he couldn’t bear to take a fan’s money. He then proceeded to knock the ball 12 feet from the cup and sink the birdie putt, with the bettor suddenly nowhere in sight.

When Mickelson exited the course, throngs of fans waited along ropes and temporary fencing with hopes of an autograph or at least a passing fist-bump.

Pirates slip to 0-2 on gridiron Kent Denver sprints out to fast lead in rain, bests Englewood 42-0

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com A steady rain fell throughout the night Sept. 4 at Englewood High School, setting up a gloomy scene as the Pirates hosted Kent Denver on the football field.

The 42-0 victory by the Sun Devils didn’t make anything less gloomy for the Pirates or their fans, many of them whom left at halftime with the home team down 35-0.

“We made too many mistakes and we couldn’t get anything going tonight,” Englewood coach Jay Graves said. “Of course, Kent is a good football team that probably could beat most 3A teams. I don’t know if our guys were intimidated playing Kent but we didn’t execute or play like we should play.”

Kent moved the ball, mixing up the run and pass as they scored 21 points in the first quarter and added 14 more before halftime.

The Pirates mixed their attack up as well, but found yardage a bit harder to come by. They did advance the ball inside Kent’s 20-yard line once in the second quarter, but were unable to capitalize.

“The game was close at first but noth-

ing was really working for us,” Graves said. “We dropped some passes and made some mistakes so our offense never really got rolling. It wasn’t a good night for us.

But the guys are hanging in there and still working to get better.”

Sean Bowering completed 8-of-17 passes for 64 yards for the Pirates. The leading receivers were Mason Stepanich, who made one catch for 31 yards, and Jacob Wade, who caught three passes for 25 yards. Nick Bersagel was the leading rusher with 10 carries for 23 yards.

The Pirates managed just 49 yards on the ground.

Graves said there have been several young players who have stepped up to help the team in reserve rolls. In particular, he mentioned sophomore Derek Demilt, the team’s long snapper.

“I didn’t volunteer to play center for long snaps, I sort of got volunteered,” the sophomore said. “It is pretty easy to get the ball back to the kicker and then know were to go after you snap the ball.”

Demilt also plays on special teams when his team kicks off.

The sophomore said he’ll probably stick with making the long snaps and he will work hard to get better so he can earn a spot as a tight end and linebacker.

“I want to be out there all the time,” he said. “But right now, I’ll play where the coach wants me to play because it means I get out there at least on those plays.”

The Pirates return to action at home Sept. 12 against Lincoln High School. The

Nick Bersagel (8) leads the blockers as Englewood quarterback Sean Bowering (1) runs the football in the Sept. 4 game against Kent Denver. Bowering picked up a few yards on this run but Kent Denver won, 42-0. Photo by Tom Munds Lancers come into the game 1-1, having won their first game 24-18 over George Washington. Lincoln amassed 169 yards

passing and 63 yards rushing in the win.

Lincoln fell to Thomas Jefferson, 32-21, in week two.

consecutive rounds of 66 after an openinground par 70.

“I played solid all week,” said Watson.

“I had a chance on the last hole to scare (Horschel), but obviously I didn’t make the putt and he played pretty solid.”

Morgan Hoffmann, who shot a thirdround Cherry Hill competitive course-record 62, had a closing 7-under-par 63 to come in third with a 269 total. Hoffman’s final two

rounds marked the low 36-round total on the PGA Tour this season.

“It’s funny, after the first two days, I didn’t really hit it much better on the weekend than the first two days,” said Hoffmann. “Maybe a couple bigger numbers on Thursday and Friday but obviously more putts went in on the weekend.”

Sergio Garcia, the leader after two rounds, climbed to within two shots of Horschel but recorded an eight on the 555-yard, par 5 17th hole.

He laid up on his second shot but his approach was wide of the small green. His chip was long and went into the water.

“It’s really disappointing,” said Garcia. “It’s

what happens when you are not mentally sharp. If I was mentally sharp, if I was rested and really the way I was at the beginning and middle of the year, I would have talked myself into going for the green.”

Garcia, Ryan Palmer, Jim Furyk and Rickie Fowler tied for fourth at 271. Garcia, who had 5-under-par 29 on the front nine, finished with a 67 despite the snowman. Palmer closed with a 71, Furyk a 66 and Fowler a 68.

Palmer, the 37-year-old Texan, started strong but faltered on the back nine. He was twice a co-leader but a bogey and double bogey on the 12th and 13th holes and another bogey on 15 tarnished his start, when he birdied three of the first five holes.

Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1 player, finished with a 66 and tied for eighth place.

The BMW Championship was the third of four tournaments in the FedEx playoffs. The Tour Championship is set for Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta, with the top 30 players in the FedEx standings vying for the crown.

Playoff points will be reset and the top five players will be the leading contenders to win the championship. Chris Kirk, who tied for 36th at Cherry Hills, will be top-seeded in Atlanta with 2,500 points. Horschel is second with 1,500 markers and Watson third with 1,000 points. McIlroy is fourth with 750 points and Hunter Mahan fifth with 500.

FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 8, 2014

GALLERY OF GAMES

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Changing your mind doesn’ t come easily for Lambs, who place a high value on commitment. But new facts could emerge that might persuade you to rethink your situation.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) This is a good time to put that fine Bovine’s eye for beauty to work in redecorating your home or workplace. And don’t forget to indulge yourself in some personal time as well.

& weekly horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your sense of loyalty to someone who asks for your help is commendable. But make sure there are no information gaps that should be filled in before you move too far too quickly.

GALLERY OF GAMES

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Don’t let difficult people raise the Crab’s ire levels this week. Avoid them if you can. If not, resist telling them off, even if you think they deserve it. Things improve by week’s end.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your suspicions about a colleague might be on the mark. But you also could be misreading the signals you believe you’re getting. Do some discreet checking before jumping to conclusions.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Take some time out from your many tasks and see if someone might be trying to reach out to you. You could be surprised to learn who it is and why you might want to reciprocate.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You still might want to do more investigating before taking on a new commitment. Later would not be the time to try to fill in any crucial gaps in what you need to know about it.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A new opportunity should be carefully studied. It might offer some of the things you’ve been looking for. Or it could contain new possibilities you never considered. Check it out.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) The single set will find that keeping their romantic aspirations on high gives Cupid a better target to aim at. Paired Pisces will find that this week helps reinforce their relationships.

BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in encouraging others to demand the best from themselves. You would be a fine sports coach, as well as an enlightened teacher.
