Clouds obscured the sky while stars shined brightly on the Hampden Hall stage.

The occasion was Englewood Parks and Recreation Department’s annual Night of Stars Talent Show. Seats were hard to find Feb. 20 as families and friends came to watch young performers from the city and surrounding areas show off their skills.

“We had a good audition, and 32 acts will perform tonight,” said Chris Vitale, show organizer.

“This is the first time on our stage for about half our performers and about half the performers have competed here before. We have variety acts, instrumentalists and singers make up the biggest category.”

Many of the performers wore costumes. For example, Alyssa Marino wore a costume to complement her singing and dancing performance

Englewood will soon begin contract negotiations with Denver for fire and rescue services.

Englewood City Council’s consensus approval Feb. 17 directed City Manager Eric Keck to begin working on the details of the contract with the Denver Fire Department for fire protection and with Denver Health for rescue services.

The decision to contract with Denver, a cost-cutting move, had the support of six members of the council, Mayor Randy Penn, Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson and Councilmem-

bers Joe Jefferson, Bob McCaslin, Jill Wilson and Steve Yates.

Councilmember Rick Gillit said he wanted to see Englewood maintain its fire department.

“I base my decision on what I hear from people I represent,” he said. “Overwhelmingly, the people I talked to want Englewood to maintain its fire department and would be willing to approve a tax increase to make that happen.”

McCaslin said he supports contracting with Denver for fire services.

“I looked at the data and listened to the comments of residents to help me make this decision,” he said. “I feel contacting with Denver is what is best for the city because it is a plan that is sustainable and it helps the city financially.”

Yates said one of his campaign issues was making sure the city Fire continues on Page 10

Current and former members of the Englewood Fire Department were among about 100 people who attended the Feb. 17 city council study session. The major agenda item was the future of the fire department, and the council gave consensus direction to the city manager to begin negotiations to contract with Denver Fire Department for fire and rescue services for Englewood.

Former Denver County Court Judge Herbert Galchinsky is known for being a prolific wedding officiant, presiding over as many as 70 a year and more than 2,000 throughout his career.

But on Feb. 17, he took some time out to preside over the 2015 Sertoma Freedom Week Awards Luncheon at Pinehurst Country Club, praising the eighth-grade essay winners for expressing themselves so articulately.

“Sometimes we take freedom for granted,” he told them. “Don’t take it for granted. Work hard to preserve it. Freedom, to me, means choosing your own destiny, and these young people are off to a good start.”

Twenty-seven middle-schoolers from throughout central Colorado and the Front Range, sponsored by the region’s 13 Sertoma Clubs, were invited to attend the “winners circle” luncheon. They earned plaques and $100

“The purpose of Freedom Week is to involve our community in a celebration of liberty, the central concept of our nation’s historical beginning,” reads the event program.

“We strive to promote an awareness of how our lives have been enriched by the premise of freedom.”

Jayla Barnes from Thunder Ridge Middle School in Aurora and Karmelle Dindinger

from Euclid Middle School in Littleton netted an extra $200 each for claiming the top honors.

“Freedom is an amazing privilege,” wrote Barnes. “It means everything from voting to standing up to what I firmly believe in. … I can practice my religious beliefs without worrying about being brutally tortured.”

Barnes said she would likely use her winnings to pay for ballet classes, another pas-

“I’m just really proud of all the hard work she does at school, and it’s nice for her to be recognized,” said her mom, Natalie.

Dindinger, the daughter of former Centennial City Councilmember Rick Dindinger, also wrote about faith in her essay.

“Freedom is when I can pray and minister to others, or deny and ignore by choice,” she wrote.

Hers was another proud mom.

“I’m very proud of her working hard at school, and to do her best at everything she does,” said Kristi Dindinger.

“I just hope I was able to reach people by talking about freedom of religion practices,” said her daughter.

Challenges of shade are gardening topic Writer will speak to Littleton club

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Nationally known garden writer Marcia Tatroe, who coaxes hundreds of blooms from her challenging Centennial yard — and writes books and articles about how to do it — will speak to the Littleton Garden Club at 6:30 p.m.

March 4. Her topic: “Gardening Where the Sun

IF YOU GO

The longstanding Littleton Garden Club meets at 6:30 p.m. the first Wednesday of the month in the lunchroom at the Littleton Public Schools Administration Building, 5565 S. Crocker St., Littleton. (Enter on the south side.)

Guests and new members are welcome.

Doesn’t Shine and the Hose Doesn’t Reach.”

Perfectly timed for local gardeners who are perusing seed catalogs and anxiously watching for green shoots to appear as the tail end of winter revisits us, she will address a problem

that applies to some location in almost every garden — that dry shade spot.

We have become quite familiar with a bounty of xeriscape plants that tolerate hot sun and minimal water, but there are spots shaded by trees, walls or buildings that are problematic.

Tatroe will suggest a wealth of shade-loving annuals, perennials, bulbs, ground covers and shrubs that “promise to enliven and survive those places in your garden that are so dry and shaded that it seems as if nothing will grow.”

Readers will recognize her as a garden columnist for the Denver Post since 1997 and

contributor to Sunset magazine’s monthly mountain checklist and the “Colorado Gardener.” Her published books include “Cutting Edge Gardening in the Intermountain West” and “Perennials for Dummies.” A long list of magazine and newspaper articles appears on her website.

She writes of her quarter-acre wildscape for critters — “it’s possible to share a garden with the creatures that were here before us.”

She is in demand throughout the West as a lecturer and teacher, a member of Garden Writers of America and the former member of the Xeriscape Colorado board of directors.

Fireworks, dancers mark Chinese New Year Event is a tradition at Englewood’s Twin Dragon

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com

Young Jacob Franklin looks on as his mother Brittany Muniz “feeds” a red gift envelope to one of the critters during the lion dance at the Twin Dragon restaurant. The dance was celebrating the Chinese New Year. Photos by Tom Munds Lorelei TowleBird’s eyes are wide as she hands the gift envelope to one of the characters performing the lion dance.

WHAT'S HAPPENING NEAR YOU? Want to know what news is happening in your area and the areas around you? Visit our website at ColoradoCommunityMedia.com.

Lorelei Towle-Bird timidly approached the costumed dancer to feed it the red gift envelop.

“The dragon was fun, but it was a little scary too,” the 7-year-old said as she watched the dancers during the Chinese New Year celebration at the Twin Dragon restaurant in Englewood.

Exploding firecrackers announced the entry of the three costumed lion dancers Feb. 20. A dancer operates a dragon-like gaily dedicated head while the other member of the team operates the long cloth body.

“I operate the head, and that is a workout,” one of the dancers said. “The head weighs about 25 or 30 pounds. Swinging it around, getting up and down while opening and closing the mouth for 20 to 30 minutes isn’t nearly as easy as it looks.”

The dancers are accompanied by the rhythmic pound of a drum, the crash of cymbals and the gong.

Zoe Serafin, the youngest member of the team, used a wooden hammer to bang the gong in time with the drum.

“My dad is one of the dancers and I like being with him,” the 8-year-old said. “It is a lot of fun because I don’t get into trouble making a lot of noise.”

Josh and Laura Kilmer brought their daughter Skye to the Twin Dragon for dinner so they could watch the celebration.

“The celebration was amazing,” the 7-year-old said. “It was very noisy. I liked the white dragon the best because of all the pretty colors, and it was shiny. I like it when the dragon blinked its eyes.”

All tables were reserved for the annual event that restaurant owner Shiou Yun Wang said she tried to make authentic.

“In China, the celebration is a lot like Christmas here,” she said. “It is a family time when everyone gathers to enjoy eating together. There are gifts as the country prints new bills that are put in the red gift envelop and exchanged.”

SINGING IN THE RAIN

from the movie “Aladdin.”

“As I sing and dance to the song, I am the genie preparing to grant Aladdin’s wishes,” she said, while awaiting her turn on stage. “My mom helped me put this costume together to fit in with my performance. I like to dance, but I really love to sing. I think I like to sing because I like to hear the sound of my own voice.”

She loves music and, in addition to singing, she plays the guitar and the piano, she said.

Nearby, Reese Jurgonski’s costume was very different; he was dressed as a zombie to give a little different atmosphere to his performance when he sang

“If I Only Had a Brain” from the Wizard of Oz. “My mom helped me with the makeup on my face so I look like a zombie,” he said before his performance. “I actually changed the song a bit so I am singing what it would be like if I only had a brain and a heart.”

The competition is divided into three groups based on school class, kindergarten through fourth grade, fifth through eighth grade and ninth through 12th grade.

Talent categories are variety, voice and instrumental music. Judges select the top three performers in each group and category. The winners of each group and category qualify to compete against performers from four other cities at the state talent competition, at 2 p.m. March 8 at the D.L. Parsons Theatre in North-

Halfway house gets rezone Littleton council lets facility stay despite new park

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Littleton City Council’s Feb. 17 decision to permanently rezone Arapahoe County Residential Center, a halfway house for women that has been in the city since 1987, means it will no longer need to get reapproved as a conditional use every five years.

“They’ve been basically a great corporate citizen in the city of Littleton,” said Glen Van Nimwegen, the city’s director of community development.

The rezone was made necessary by South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s plan to build a small park just north of the facility, between Chenango Avenue and the South Platte River.

SSPR has long planned to create an activity center on the Murray Open Space site, which was previously a junkyard.

“It’s not what you would traditionally think

of as a playground, but it is a gathering place for children,” said Van Nimwegen.

The site is tucked behind the Littleton Fire Rescue training center, just northwest of Santa Fe Drive and Belleview Avenue. The correctional facility, which houses an average of 97 women transitioning out of prison, is immediately to the east.

The area, zoned light industrial, is also home to the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley, Lowe’s, Corbett’s Auction House and a variety of small businesses.

According to Littleton’s zoning code, no correctional facility can be located within 500 feet of parks, residences, schools or day-care centers. But SSPR’s plan calls for a place families will enjoy, incorporating things like log balance beams, natural-art stations and educational kiosks.

“This is the first time it’s ever happened, and there’s no way to deal with it in the charter,” Jan Dickinson, senior planner, told the planning board in January.

The solution staff came up with is to rezone ACRC from light industrial to planned development industrial. Nothing about the site will

change; it will just allow the center to stay in the location where it’s been since 2005.

Councilmember Jerry Valdes wanted to ensure the facility remains open only to women, as did some members of the planning board.

He noted that age discrimination is allowed in senior housing, and all jails are gender-specific.

City Attorney Kristin Schledorn noted that gender discrimination in housing is prohibited by the federal government.

“There’s a difference between what they’re allowed to do with their facility versus what a municipality is allowed to do through zoning,” she said.

Kevin Duckworth, vice president of Colorado Educational Centers, ACRC’s parent company, said the intent is for the facility to continue to serve only women.

“Every community correction facility I’ve ever seen is single-gender,” he said. “That’s what’s in the best interest of the community, and that’s what’s in the best interest of the residents of that facility.”

Schledorn had advised removing the language, noting the federal ban on gender discrimination in housing. Rudnicki asked if the

prior zoning had, in fact, been in violation of the law.

“I’d prefer not to speak to that on the record,” said Schledorn.

Regardless, Rudnicki tried to amend the board’s recommendation to council to ban men from the facility, and board member Carrie Moore agreed.

“Whether it’s fair or not, men are more intimidating,” she said.

Board member Curt Samuelson took a more practical approach, calling the discussion a waste of time.

“City council is just going to vote straight across the board to leave it,” he said.

ACRC’s director assured the board there are no plans to allow men into the facility.

“We’ve been a female facility for several years, and we have no intentions of changing that,” said Angie Riffel.

The Murray Open Space project is supposed to cost about $375,000. It has a well that could be used to water a proposed tree nursery, said Patterson, and a bridge will connect it to Big Dry Creek.

Police to train volunteer victim advocates Suttle has been one-woman show for Littleton force

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Linda Suttle is usually the one doing the helping, but now she needs help.

Suttle is the Littleton Police Department’s only victim advocate, in charge of tending to the needs of people who suddenly find themselves entangled in the criminal-justice system through acts of violence or tragedy.

“It’s very rewarding to give people information and help them understand the process,” she said.

“Most people don’t understand the criminal-justice system. It can be very difficult and confusing.”

But it’s a lot of work for Suttle one person.

“I’ve had part-time help in the past, and we’ve used Arapahoe County volunteers,” she said. “But now we’re going to have our own people, trained by us, who know our officers and can feel connected to the department.”

To that end, LPD is looking for calm and caring volunteers to attend a training academy starting on March 10, running Tuesdays and Thursdays through April 21.

“Volunteers will also be expected to respond on call to various crime scenes or other traumatic incidents to provide crisis intervention, comfort and information to crime victims or other people experiencing trauma,” reads an LPD press release.

Suttle, who’s held her position with LPD for 28 years, will lead the training.

An Arapahoe High School graduate, she trained as a paralegal at Arapahoe Community College and earned a degree in psychology at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

She started her career in 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office as a victim witness assistant.

“It’s the same kind of thing, but it happens later and only if someone gets ar-

rested,” she said. “The challenging part for me is the immediate crisis intervention.”

Since taking the job at LPD, she’s been involved in several of the city’s highprofile cases, including the still unsolved murder of Rhonda Holland in 2004.

“I met Linda and I fell in love,” said Colleen Brewer, Holland’s sister who is now herself a volunteer victim advocate for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

“We would have such high hopes, and then they would just get dropped. But no matter what, Linda was always there.”

Suttle’s job can be as easy as finding a jacket for someone sitting out on a cold street curb, and as challenging as helping a rape victim cope in the immediacy of her trauma.

“A lot of times victims blame themselves,” she said. “We’re here to say whatever they did to survive is OK. It’s crisis therapy, but it’s not therapy. What we do is move people on to the next step. It’s the immediate things, what they need right now. It helps the officers a lot too, to take care of the victims’ emotional needs so they can do their job.”

The training will include coping mechanisms for the volunteers themselves, who will likely find themselves in the midst of some disturbing situations. She says for her, the key is to keep the job separate from the rest of her life.

“For me, it’s having theater,” said the amateur actress and singer who makes regular appearances at Town Hall Arts Center and other local venues. “It’s how I help myself and keep myself from getting wound up in things. For other people, it’s their children, or there’s something else that shows them life is good. You have to know how to set boundaries. This isn’t for everybody, and if people decide it’s too much, that’s fine. You’ve got to know your limits. But it’s really interesting and rewarding.”

Volunteers must have their own car, and must live within 45 minutes travel time from the Littleton Police Department. Volunteers also must be willing to submit to a background check. For more information, contact Suttle at lsuttle@ littletongov.org.

Tragedy helps Brewer give back Sister of murder victim serves as victim advocate

By Jennifer Smith

‘I’m not saying everyone has to go through a

horrendous tragedy to do

Colleen Brewer had already conquered a lot of demons by the time her sister, Rhonda Holland, was found murdered in Holland’s downtown gift store in 2004.

Brewer was adopted, so she often felt like she didn’t belong as a child, and she was shy. Then there was a brutal rape at the age of 19, alcoholism and a violent marriage.

“I knew the whole situation was wrong, but I didn’t know how to get out of it,” she said. “So I had that baggage. … Everything kind of compounded.”

After finally disentangling herself from the four-year relationship with her husband and finding sobriety — all by the age of 25 — things were looking up.

“The very last straw, of course, was my sister,” she said. “Through sobriety I really got my feet underneath me.

And then my sister was murdered, and I thought, `Wow, where do I go from here?’”

But the murder, still unsolved, led Linda Suttle into her family’s life. Suttle, the Littleton Police Department’s victim advocate, proved to be a huge inspiration for Brewer.

“She’s never left our side,” said Brewer, even just three years ago when her father, now deceased, fell and broke his neck. “I can pick up the phone any time and call her, and she’s there.”

She was inspired to go through training to become a volunteer victim advocate for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department, and will go through Suttle’s new training program, starting March 10, to serve in the same capacity

Colleen Brewer, victim advocate

for the Littleton Police Department.

“Every class I took, it was like, `Wow, I thought I had written that book,’ ” she said. “But it helped me realize that happened to me, but that’s not who I am.”

The cold case has been back under the magnifying glass of late, since George Brauchler took over as the 18th Judicial District Attorney. Gregory Parker, still in jail after murdering his wife about a month after Holland was found killed in a similar manner, was named a suspect in 2007. Holland had, for a time, lived up the street from the Parkers, and they knew each other. But prosecutors at the time didn’t think there was enough evidence for a conviction, and the case languished until recently.

In the meantime, Brewer has found some solace in her advocate work.

“I hate that it’s the worst day of some- If body’s life when I meet them, but I knowwhen my heart, and I know my intentions,”exam she said. “I’m not saying everyone hasfamil to go through a horrendous tragedy toand s do this, but I feel like it helps me.

Downtown Littleton can now welcome a tattoo parlor with open, sleeved arms, since Littleton City Council on Feb. 17 approved the endeavor as a conditional use.

During the discussion, Councilmember Debbie Brinkman made the surprise revelation that she got a tattoo on her ankle to celebrate her 50th birthday, and praised the establishment she patronized.

“It was cleaner than any hair salon I’ve ever been in, and it’s cleaner than some restaurants,” she said. “The industry has matured along the way.”

But Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman expressed concern, remembering back to when Remi’s Body Art Studio existed briefly at Main and Prince streets in the mid2000s. It closed its doors after people complained and the city won a zoning battle.

“It just didn’t fit,” said Beckman, who was an officer with the Littleton Police Department at the time. “There was a lot of hanging out, and there was overflow onto the sidewalk.”

Matt Sager of Think Tank Tattoo, who spurred the conversation by inquiring about opening a location downtown, said his business will include a waiting room and take clients by appointment only, lessening the likelihood of people loitering outside. State law prohibits customers younger than 18 and those who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, he noted, and requires regular health inspections.

He said the store will sell promotional items and possibly include an art gallery.

“It comes with a high reputation,” he said. “We’re looking to bring more of an art vibe to the downtown Littleton area.”

He added that the hours will likely be noon to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, eliminating the after-bar crowd. Van Nimwegen said that’s a common practice in the industry.

above Penzey’s Spices on Main Street. The tattoo parlor shown here is off Santa Fe in Denver. File photo “They don’t want the after-bar crowd coming in and getting a tattoo and waking up the next day and suing them,” he said.

The ordinance council passed by a vote of 6-1 allows tattoo parlors downtown and in a few other commercial areas. It would require them to be at least 1,000 feet apart, meaning just one downtown, and each will have to gain approval from the planning board individually as a conditional use.

Councilmember Bruce Stahlman offered an unsuccessful amendment to exclude them from downtown while allowing them in them in other areas. Beckman and Councilmember Randy Stein supported him.

“If we have an antiquated zoning code, maybe I’m just an antiquated guy,” said Stein, who represents downtown and was the lone vote against the ordinance, despite the fact that the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants supported it.

Councilmember Peggy Cole thought it might attract students and other new faces to downtown, boosting the local economy.

“Either we’re ashamed of it and we don’t want it anyplace, or it’s a legitimate business that attracts particular people,” she said.

Dreaming of hoops, sure as shootin’ Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played basketball. Looking at me now, you would never guess that I played anything. Maybe the radio.

I am not trying to make a favorable impression. I just want to remind myself now and then that I wasn’t always a potato standing in front of an easel, or a potato working on a computer.

This occurred to me when I read that Lonnie Porter, head basketball coach at Regis University for 38 years, is retiring.

The article tells about his first basketball — it had laces — and the outdoor playing conditions in the winter in Indianapolis.

As we get closer to March Madness, it just seems like I could use a little reminiscing.

My sister was a high school cheerleader, and dated the star on the basketball team.

My sister was a senior, and Rich was a sophomore, so there was talk.

I was a junior, and desperately wanted to make the varsity in my senior year. Here’s a spoiler alert: I was the last player cut.

The summer before my senior year, Rich did everything he could to improve my game.

He drove us all over metro Cincinnati for pickup games with some of the city’s best players.

I still hold on to that summer, 1964, with affection.

Have you ever been to Cincinnati in the summertime? It’s unpleasant. My least favor-

ite weather is humidity.

Are you good at something, but not very good or great? I was a good basketball player.

After I was cut, I captained a team in a Sunday league, and was the league’s leading scorer. So what? It was like winning first prize at the state fair for my pigeon.

But it’s a yellowed clipping that still makes me smile.

I played intramurals at UCLA, where the intramural teams were exceptionally good.

I loved basketball. Not as much now. The pro game not at all, and some of what I don’t like about the pros has made it down to the college level, but not all the way.

Pro basketball is a lot like rugby. And dunks seem to be a big deal too often.

My father was his school’s captain. Final scores would be 28-15 and 21-17.

There was no such thing as a jump shot.

He shot free throws underhanded, like everyone else. Much later, Wilt Chamberlain would do the same thing.

We are nearing March Madness, and it is more fun than just about anything in sports.

It makes the college football playoffs and all of those ridiculous bowl games seem a little unfulfilling.

My team won’t make it into the tournament this year, so I will choose another one.

The neat thing is that it only takes five guys, not 22. So smaller schools, like Northern Iowa, have a chance. That can’t happen in football.

One year a little school from Terre Haute, Ind., that no one had heard of, and really hasn’t been heard from since, made it all the way to the national championship game.

It’s was “Hoosiers” before “Hoosiers.”

(By the way, the kid who played Jimmy Chitwood, Maris Valainis, in “Hoosiers,” was cut each of the three times he tried out for his high school team.)

I wore Converse All-Stars, because that’s all we had. They were white. When my father was playing, all they had was black. And our shorts looked like tighty boxers.

If you’re old enough to remember: The little school from Terre Haute was Indiana State. They had a player named Bird.

“Three, 2, 1, Smith from the corner.

Scores!”

In my sweetest dreams.

Leading by example is powerful If you are like me, you really enjoy it when you can see a leader leading by example.

There are some who lead their families, others lead companies or teams, and still others lead communities, organizations, and associations. And yet the ones we seem to respect the most are NOT the ones who lead from afar, or give direction from the ivory tower; the ones we seem to gravitate towards are the leaders who lead from the front.

In my line of work I have been truly blessed to have worked for leaders, coaches and trainers who have led by example. Men and women of character and integrity who wouldn’t ask others to do anything that they weren’t prepared to do themselves.

I honestly believe that I would not have achieved success in both my personal life or my professional life had it not been for the leaders in the companies I worked for, the leaders who worked with me when I was the CEO or president, the leaders in my church, and the leaders in my community. And I say thank you to each one of them.

So as you can see, I have a great appreciation for active, intentional leadership.

If you are into history, one leader who led from the front, truly led by example, comes to mind: George Washington. If you haven’t read any of the books written about him, the book “1776” by David McCullough is a great place to start. But I digress, so let me get

back to our story.

As I said, one of my very favorite things to observe is when managers, leaders, business owners, fathers, mothers, or others who are in a leadership role lead by example and we get to see it and witness their behavior. If we are smart enough, we may even try and emulate that behavior. And I have a recent story I would like to share with you about someone who truly leads by example.

Her name is Nina Hinnendael.

I happened to be skiing in Beaver Creek and had the opportunity to see for myself how Nina worked and led by example. She is a manager of a couple of “on-mountain” restaurants and actually the one person who inspired the Candy Cabin at the top of the Strawberry Park lift, chair 12 in Beaver Creek. Her attitude, smile, and work ethic speak for themselves. And as I sat there as a patron I was so impressed by the fact that even as a leader and a manager, she was

Construction-defects bill is needed fix Colorado is uniquely positioned to capitalize on numerous economic advantages that have lowered our unemployment rate, seen strong growth in several identified sectors and generated more than 70,000 new jobs in 2014, while the forecast for this year continues to trend upward.

While economists predict a 2.5 percent growth rate for 2015, we are faced with an immense issue — skyrocketing housing costs. A recent analysis by Zillow showed renters would need to make $35 an hour to stay within the rule of thumb regarding share of housing costs to annual income. Denver is a desirable city for millennials who bring ideas, innovation, creativity and passion to the workplace. Our housing costs and lack of diversity threaten the very fabric of attainable and affordable options.

As a leading statewide business organization, the Colorado Business Roundtable understands how important providing attainable housing is to community

cleaning tables, greeting customers, socializing with guests, and directing her staff all at the same time, and I asked her permission to write this column.

You see I am also a leader. I have a staff, I work in my community, I volunteer, and I get so caught up in my responsibilities I often forget that I should also be leading by example and manage and lead like Nina, doing some more of the heavy lifting.

Now, if we focus on you, yes you, you the business owner, you the vice president, you the venture capitalist, you the manager, you the leader of your family, are you leading by example or are you relying solely on what you accomplished in the past? That is one of the challenges that we have, managers and leaders who have met with success but have forgotten what got us there in the first place … hard work, character, and effort. And we know that talent without effort breeds mediocrity.

How about you? Are you a Nina? Do you lead from the front and by example? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we remember what leadership is all about, it really will be a better than good week.

We also have many seniors who desire to live near their children and grandkids who need lowermaintenance properties.

Colorado’s construction-defects law

Last year, the county lost out on $5 million dollars due to urban renewal projects.

Yet LIFT, our urban renewal board, keeps saying that our taxing entities won’t be affected. The county is currently challenging Littleton’s urban renewal plans in arbitration. We are also waiting on a court decision on why agricultural land (south of Aspen Grove) was included in the Santa Fe area when that is against state law.

Littleton Strong’s contributors of $70,000 consist mostly of developers and real estate professionals. This suggests to me that developers and Realtors are afraid of losing out on their corporate welfare — the tax increment financing that would benefit developers but would affect our city’s taxing districts for 25 years.

Opponents of 300 complain of the cost for an election every time LIFT would want to use condemnation, eminent domain or special tax financing. How does that compare to the millions of dollars over 25 years of tax dollars being taken from our county, schools and parks? How will it impact the general fund that pays for our museum, fire and police, among

passed in 2001 and has undergone several amendments since. Most cite the changes passed in 2003 and 2007 that have caused owner-occupied, multi-family housing to shrink from 23 percent of the marketplace to 3.1 percent in 2014. While we can spend a lot of time looking at what got us to where we are today, we do not prefer to look in the rearview mirror but find creative, bipartisan, pragmatic ways to fix this issue.

other items, that make the quality of life in Littleton what it is today?

There is a lot of development going in Littleton right now, significant

legislation the past two years. The COBRT is proud to be a part of the Homeowner Opportunity Alliance, a large, diverse coalition of business leaders, trade associations, chambers of commerce and community leaders. The Colorado Business Roundtable strongly feels that homeowner rights and protections will not be weakened or restricted by the passage of SB177.

Senate Bill 177 ensures that construction issues within a condo or townhouse community are not only addressed fairly and quickly but take into account the rights of homeowners and respect the members of the association community. While every homeowner deserves the right to have, in most cases, their biggest investment protected and repaired in the case of an issue, SB177 stops the current practice in which a small number of

owners — often a simple majority of a homeowners association board — can enter into legal action without the knowledge or authorization of the majority of homeowners.

There are cases where homeowners have transferred or attempted to refinance their home and been told, much to their surprise, that they cannot because of pending legal action. This is not only egregious but morally wrong, in our view.

According to state Sen. Jessie Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, SB177 differs from previous legislation in that it adds language requiring mandatory mediation and arbitration prior to filing a construction defects claim. This dispute resolution, as a way to repair or cure issues prior to initiating a lawsuit, creates a more favorable market for insurers, who cite the threat of litigation as a

primary driver for the high cost of insuring owner-occupied, multifamily housing options. Alternative dispute resolution is a legally enforceable, effective, less costly way and a less time-consuming method of resolving disputes.

We want to stress the importance of creating a workable resolution process that is fair to homeowners.

One that protects their rights, which fosters conditions that will allow the building of diverse and affordable housing options, and encourages new developments near light rail and transit stations. The Colorado Business Roundtable values the importance of community — one made of not only first-time home buyers and the millennial generation, but also seniors, firefighters, law enforcement and great workers in manufacturing, energy, technology and health sciences.

Locally, communities like Lakewood and Parker have passed ordinances to create a local remedy to encourage or spur needed development within the multi-family, owner-occupied space. While we are appreciative of their efforts and successes, this is an area where our elected leaders at the state level need to step up and ensure the passage of SB177. From the House and Senate sponsors to leadership and the rank and file dedicated servant leaders, there is broad-based bipartisan support. Please reach out to your legislator and encourage him or her to support the passage of this important economic and community-building legislation.

projects that did not need the help of public tax dollars for development. Littleton Village (Marathon property), King Soopers, Breckenridge Brewery and the Meadows at Platte Valley are four examples.

More than 700 acres being designated as blight without any wellpresented project or goal in mind seems irresponsible. When growth

and development affect our schools and parks and other facilities, I believe we citizens should have a vote. I will be voting yes on 300.

Lou Sullivan Littleton

the City of Littleton recently sent a poll out to residents, the response was overwhelmingly positive.

People love this community, our historic areas, our neighborhoods, our parks, our businesses, our library and museum — our amazing quality of life.

So what’s all the hoo-haw about urban renewal? This city is not going

to do anything that would damage that quality of life. No way is it going to condemn homes or “take” private property.

Don’t be fooled by electioneering signs. Vote no on 300! It’s a very bad idea. rita derjue Littleton

Trustees approve Wilder Lane project Columbine Valley site will get 24 patio homes

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Facing far less opposition than in previous meetings, the developers of Wilder Lane in Columbine Valley celebrated a win on Feb. 16 after the town’s board of trustees unanimously approved their plan to build patio homes on the north side of town.

“The developer worked very diligently with our planning and engineering staff to resolve drainage concerns, fencing questions with the two adjacent neighborhoods, landscaping plans and other development considerations,” said Mayor Gale Christy. “A positive relationship between the town and the owners developed.”

That’s not to say everyone loves the plan.

Five citizens attended to express concerns about density, design and traffic impacts, among other things.

“They quoted traffic-study numbers and felt there would not be a considerable impact on the traffic,” said Ginny Rogliano after the meeting. “We all know you can get a traffic study to say what you want it to say.”

The rambling farmland at Mineral Road and Santa Fe Drive is causing a snag in the city’s pursuit of urban renewal.

Photo by Jennifer Smith Town planners were adamant that a new road through the subdivision be built to connect Platte Canyon Road to the town’s main drag, Middlefield Road. Neighbors fear commuters will cut through the town to avoid the Bowles Avenue/Platte Canyon Road intersection, but staff says the traffic study doesn’t support that theory.

In an effort to discourage cut-through traffic, Platte Canyon Partners will install a roundabout and set the speed limit at 15

mph.

Some neighbors have complained about the architecture, saying it doesn’t fit with the traditional feel of the town. But the developers are enthusiastic about the design, reminiscent of the mid-century style seen in Arapaho Hills and Bow Mar South but with an updated feel.

The developers convinced the trustees that “the new and different approach would prove to be interesting and maybe even

exciting to our community,” Mayor Gale Christy said.

Averaging around 2,500 square feet each on lots ranging from 7,000 to 11,000 square feet, the homes are expected to sell for between $700,000 and $900,000. Each one will be unique, which the developers hope will appeal to young professionals and emptynesters. Like most patio homes, there won’t be fences between the houses, and the homeowners association will maintain all the landscaping.

The trustees did include a provision in their approval that the amount of on-street parking could be increased at the request of neighbors or the homeowners association within two years, should the need arise.

The trustees approved 24 homes on 6.62 acres, for a density of 3.4 units per acre. The town’s master plan envisions higher numbers on the site, and it’s actually lower than at least three surrounding subdivisions.

“We are not opposed to development but feel strongly that it should be conducted in a reasonable and responsible manner,” said Rogliano. “All future development should be in the best interest of the town of Columbine Valley. We think all future development should not affect the integrity and character of our special community.”

provided quality services and to make sure tax dollars are spent wisely.

“This solution was too long in coming but I feel the only reasonable option is to contract with Denver,” he said. “It was a hard decision and it is a sad day for our city.”

Other council members had similar comments as they supported the option of contracting with Denver for fire protection and EMS services.

Penn summed up the discussion as he said leaders must lead and deal with big decisions.

“This is a big decision. Councilmembers are the most knowledgeable people on this issue, so we must make this decision, and I support contracting with Denver,” he said.

He said he felt Englewood can make a smooth transition. But he wants the contract to make sure Englewood firefight-

ers do not see pay losses if they accept jobs with the Denver department and for them to have the opportunity for promotions.

The council presented its consensus support because the meeting was a study session and official council votes can only be taken during a regular meeting.

A large number of Englewood firefighters and retired firefighters were in the audience. No current firefighter would comment, but retired firefighter Delvin Harrell said the mayor and the city council have done a big injustice to the Englewood Fire Department.

“We used to be the best in the whole metro area,” the veteran of 33 years with the department said.

Keck will begin negotiating the details of a contract for the Denver Fire Department to provide fire protection. Denver Fire Department will then contract with Denver Health to provide the emergency medical services for Englewood.

The city manager said he hopes to complete the negotiations and have a contract finalized in the next 30 to 45 days.

MEDICAL CLINIC relieves the following:

• Numbness or tingling in legs • Buttock pain • Pain in your leg with certain movement • Pain in your hip • Pain with sneezing, coughing or laughing • Pain or weakness in legs of feet

“The council direction is only to negotiate a contract with the Denver Fire Department,” said Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager. “Once all the details are resolved, both Englewood and Denver city councils must approve the contract before Denver Fire Department can begin providing fire protection services for Englewood.”

He said ideally, the contract approvals would be completed in time for Denver to begin providing the fire protection and EMS services for Englewood by the latter half of this year.

“Most likely, the service will begin at the start of the third or fourth quarter of the year because that will make it easier to calculate compensation for the remainder of 2015,” he said.

The total cost of maintaining the department would be about $27 million and it would have cost about $20 million to contract with South Metro, Keck said.

He recommended contracting with Denver because the total cost would be about $5 million a year and first-year additional costs would be about another $1 million in capital costs, compared to an annual $9 million from the budget to maintain the Englewood department.

The decision to pursue contracting with Denver culminates discussions that stretch back three years. But deciding the future of the Englewood department became a priority late last year when Keck, the newly hired city manager, was asked to look into the issue and present recommendations.

In January, the city manager presented

The Englewood City Council studied three options for fire and emergency medical service: maintaining the Englewood Fire Department, or contracting with either the Denver Fire Department or the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority.

The town asked for residents’ feedback on which option they preferred, and City Manager Eric Keck said he charted 113 responses from Jan. 15 through Feb. 5. Here’s

three options: maintaining the Englewood Fire Department, or contracting for fire and medical rescue services with either the Denver Fire Department or the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority. His recommendation was to contract with Denver.

The council was scheduled to make a decision on which option to pursue at an early February study session but, at the request of the firefighters, the decision was delayed until Feb. 17 so members of the Englewood Fire Department could present their proposals for ways to increase revenues in order to maintain the department.

At the Feb. 17 meeting, Keck said he and Penn met with the firefighters twice.

“The meetings were very informative and the firefighters presented many good ideas on ways to increase revenues and reduce costs,” the city manager said.

“But all the proposals take a lot of time to implement and that is something we don’t have. Additionally, the ideas won’t generate the dollars needed to maintain the department.”

Councilmembers asked the opinion of Fire Chief Andy Marsh.

“I think everyone agrees the status quo can’t continue,” Marsh said. “The decision must place a top priority on a plan that is financially sustainable.”

He said the fate of the 108-year-old department is an emotional issue and there are different opinions on the best course of action, but he added that action is needed now.

csteadman @coloradocommunitymedia.com A little girl wants her peers to see how cool the Hello Kitty logo is on her brand-new shirt, said Highlands Ranch author Debi Smith-Racanelli. Whereas a tween wants her peers to see how cool she looks in her brand-new shirt with the Hello Kitty logo.

Girls between the ages of 9 and 12 go through a lot in these tween years, SmithRacanelli said, as they transition from being a little girl to a teen. They start puberty, go from elementary school to middle school, and friend issues, and the drama around that, begins to take center stage, she said.

Debi Smith-Racanelli and Kendall Racanelli talk to Colorado Community Media

Ken d a l l sa y s:

What is the hardest part about being a tween girl?

De b i sa ys: What is the hardest part about raising a tween girl?

You feel like your parents are still treating you like a little kid, but you don’t want to be treated that way, so you try to not be controlled.

Finding the balance of letting her grow up and start to find her own way, but making sure that you’re still involved and able to support her growth.

What are girls most challenged with in their tween years?

What are parents most challenged with in a tween daughter?

Looking and acting cool for peers. Cool for tweens is people looking up to you and wanting to be your friend. They see the older kids having fun and hanging out together and they kind of want that, so they try to act like them, thinking all their peers will think of them as cool.

Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature?

I think parents should worry more if their tween is more immature than her peers, because she has more of a chance of getting bullied for it.

Why is it important to pay attention to tweens?

Now, with all the technology and social media, some of the things that people post are just awful and inappropriate. Parents are oblivious to that. They might not realize that people would put certain things on social media. If the parents are aware, then it’s easier for them to stop it, and stop their kids from seeing it.

When people have kids in elementary school, they have to be super-vigilant because they require a lot of supervision. Parents of tweens sometimes make the mistake of giving them too much freedom, rather than making that transition with them.

Should a parent worry if they feel their tween is either too immature or too mature?

Yes. If a tween is too immature, I would worry that the immaturity would allow them to be too easily influenced. If they’re too mature, I would worry that they’re at risk of becoming involved with things they are definitely not ready for.

Why is it important to pay attention to tweens?

Parents are not aware of all the influences that surround tweens — from the negative media content to the kids talking about drugs and alcohol to the crazy amount of stuff they see on YouTube and social media. Even if their kids aren’t involved in those things, I think parents would be shocked at just how much their kids are actually exposed to.

Five distinguished journalists have been chosen to be inducted into the Denver Press Club Hall of Fame during the 20th Annual Denver Press Club Hall of Fame Banquet, beginning at 7 p.m. Sept.18.

The class of 2015 includes photographer Rich Clarkson, political reporter (and, for my money, the best reporter in Colorado) Lynn Bartels, architecture writer Mary Chandler and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Mike Keefe.

The legendary Damon Runyon, for whom the club’s Damon Runyon Award is named, is being inducted posthumously.

“This is a great class of inductees, with one of the nation’s top sports photographers, a top-notch political writer, a reporter who knows everything about Denver architecture and a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist,” said Bruce Goldberg, president of the club’s board of directors. “We look forward to a great night of nostalgia and honoring solid journalism.”

The banquet will be held at the club’s landmark building at 1330 Glenarm in Denver. Seating is limited and this event is always sold out. To purchase a ticket, go to www.blacktie-colorado.com, and click on Sept. 18. Tickets cost $65 per person.

Cities noted for innovation

Two Colorado burgs landed in the top 10 on NerdWallet.com’s list of America’s Most Innovative Cities, “NerdWallet’s guide for understanding where the impact of tech funding, innovation and startup activity is the strongest.”

Boulder ranked No. 2 behind San Jose, the epicenter of Silicon Valley in California’s Bay Area. Fort Collins placed a respectable No. 6.

Demanding story requires sensitivity `Next to Normal’ offers rock score, tough topic

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com From the start, we commend Town Hall Arts Center for producing a Pulitzer Prize drama, with a rock score — about a difficult subject. “Next to Normal,” by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, was nominated for nine 2009 Tony Awards and won three: Best Original Score, Best Orchestration and Best Performance by an Actress (Alice Ripley). In 2010, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

It is sensitively directed by the Henry Award-winning Nick Sugar, who again shows his expertise in telling a demanding story. In his notes, he quotes New York Times critic Ben Brantley, who observed: “It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel everything musical.”

“Next to Normal” explores the dynamics of a suburban household that is coping with the mental illness of the mother, Diana. The

But that audience is also treated to a really beautiful score and thoughtful lyrics.

The script illustrates the unevenness of the day-to-day life of everyone affected, but particularly the rough time Diana has trying to hold herself together for her family.

Cast members bring strong voices.

Lamb’s and Langhoff’s blend especially well. Jacquie Jo Billings gives a very strong performance as the couple’s teenage daughter Natalie, who wants to take control of her own life and is fearful that she may inherit the illness. Ethan Knowles is even-tempered and lovable as her stoner boyfriend, while Josh Bess has the difficult

Lakewood arts program moves

Forced to vacate its Union Boulevard location last fall to make way for luxury apartments, 40 West Arts District, the long-running Lakewood Arts program opted to move next to Casa Bonita in the Lamar Station Plaza so the 27-year-old nonprofit could reside in the heart of the thriving arts district, according to a story in The Denver Post.

“They’re an amazing organization and bring to the table a breadth of experience in the visual arts, both in the creativity of the artists that display with them but also the programming activities,” Bill Marino, chairman of the 40 West Arts District, told the Post. “We’re thrilled to have

Kendall, who is now 14, had a big role in the writing process. She had free rein to comment and add her opinion on the topic at the end of every chapter in the book, Smith-Racanelli said.

Writing it “was truly a passion project to support the relationship between parents and girls in order to make those transitional years better,” Smith-Racanelli said, “which hopefully carries forward into the teen years and beyond.”

them.”

There’s a whole new set of programming options being considered, including literary and performing arts, said Meg Quinn, council vice president. The group also wants to re-establish classrooms, get a solid revenue stream, rent the space out on occasion and have a larger gallery once the remodel is complete next month.

“The new gallery is in a space with more square footage, it’s better organized and all on one level,” Quinn told the Post. “40 West will eventually have a gallery right next to ours, and being on Colfax and next to Casa Bonita, we hope will give us more visibility.”

The building’s new owners, Broad Street Realty, offered to let the arts council stay lease-free for the first year.

SPORTS Twins headline strong day for Cherry Creek

The Independent | The Herald 17

February 26, 2015

Matt Finesilver grabs state title, brother Josh finishes third; Bruins seventh as a team

By Jim Benton

jbenton @coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek junior Matt Finesilver goes into every wrestling match with the belief that he can dominate.

He did just that Feb. 21 at the Pepsi Center when he captured the Class 5A, 132-pound state championship with an 11-2 decision over Pomona’s Jason Romero.

“Whenever I go into a match, I always believe in my heart that I’m the best guy out there and I’m going to dominate,” said Finesilver. “If you don’t believe like that, it is hard to win. My freshman year at state I went two and out, and that was a heartbreaker. I just took my lumps and got better and dished it out.”

His win over Romero capped a dominating performance at the state tournament.

Finesilver’s first match ended with a pin in 3:46 over Rock Canyon’s Josh Heifetz. He pinned Arvada West’s Nicholas Smith in 3:45 in the second round and won a 12-1 semifinal decision over Arapahoe’s John Daniel.

“In our wrestling room, our coaches and teammates always try to push the pace,” said Finesilver, who finished the season with a 51-3 record. “We work the hardest in the state. It feels incredible to win. I’ll have a couple days to celebrate and then get back at it for next year.”

Finesilver was the runner-up at 113 pounds last season. His older twin brothers, Mitch and Zach, who are now wrestling at Duke, both won championships last season.

Josh Finesilver, Matt’s twin brother, finished third in the 106-pound bracket after a 9-0 decision over Grand Junction’s Dylan Martinez.

Chaparral’s Hunter Matney beat Josh Finesilver, 13-4, in the semifinals.

semifinals that the only thing I can do is battle back and take third,” he said. “I kind of took that to heart and did the best I could to get third place, and I did that.

“The tournament went OK. Obviously I wanted to finish first. You got to do the best you can with what you have, be ready and keep working for next year and try to get to where I want to be.”

Matt Finesilver and Chaparral’s Dane Drimmer were the two wrestlers from south Metro school to win state championships.

Warriors shut down Bruins in physical game Cherry Creek girls still nab league title; both teams secure first-round byes in playoffs

By Tom Munds

tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Signature wins can mean a lot for confidence this time of the year.

Arapahoe senior Jennah Knafelc knew a win over Cherry Creek would strengthen the team’s confidence in its abilities and help the Warriors get a good seed in the state playoff bracket.

The 56-44 win for Arapahoe was also the rubber match, as both teams each won a game against the other earlier in the season.

Accurate outside shooting and stingy defense proved the winning combination Feb. 18.

Senior Jennah Knafelc was one of the leading scorers for Arapahoe as she had 17 points.

“Tonight wasn’t a great game for me tonight, but our whole team was excited going against Cherry Creek tonight,” she said.

“We are an outside shooting team, and I like to shoot from outside. That can be our downfall sometimes, but we were on target tonight.”

The Warriors knew their defense had to collapse to try to stop the Bruins’ inside attack, the senior Knafelc said.

The game was physical and challenging.

“Both teams played hard and it got pretty physical inside,” she said. “I got bounced around a little going inside tonight.”

After the game, both coaches complimented the play of their opponent.

“We knew we were playing a good basketball team, and I am proud of the way our girls played tonight,” Warriors Coach Jerry Knafelc. “We were selective when we took our shots, and defensively we tried hard not

Cherry Creek Coach Chris Curneen said the Warriors outplayed his team.

“They are a good outside shooting team and were really on target tonight,” he said.

“We like to work inside for our shots, and Arapahoe collapsed down in the lane and shut off our other scorers so it was a tough game for us.”

The teams exchanged baskets in the opening minutes. But Arapahoe’s accurate outside shooting put points on the score-

board while their defense kept Cherry Creek from scoring baskets to provide the Warriors a 17-2 advantage by the end of the first quarter.

The Bruins battled back and narrowed the Warriors lead to 25-22 late in the second quarter. But the Warriors scored a basket and hit a three-pointers in the final minute to stretch the halftime advantage to 30-22.

Cherry Creek made a couple scoring runs in the second half but didn’t cut deeply Arapahoe continues on Page 23

Anabelle Brewer (21) puts up an outside shot for Arapahoe during the Feb. 18 game against Cherry Creek.

Accurate outside shooting helped the Warriors win the game, 56-44.

HEADED TO STATE Each team closed out the regular season schedule Feb. 19 as Arapahoe won 70-47 at Cherokee Trail, improving to 18-4 and 12-2. Cherry Creek beat Smoky Hill 42-31 on the road to improve to 16-7 and 13-1.

The Bruins won the league title with Arapahoe a game back.

The good news for both teams? They each secured firstround byes for the Class 5A State Tournament.

The 5A/4A Continental matchup was a vital win at home against a valiant Eagles team led on the night by Katherine Peterson. Peterson finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and two steals while Haily Cechini finished with 15 points in the losing effort.

Fort Morgan 65, Englewood 36 - The second-half proved unkind as the Pirates fell on the road in league play on Feb. 19. Trailing by only five points, 21-16, at halftime, the Pirates seemed to be poised to put a scare into the Mustangs, but a 22-point third quarter erased any Mustang concerns.

Elizabeth 45, Englewood 34 - The Cardinals traveled to the Pirates on Feb. 17 for another 4A Colorado 7 League victory. Kaylyn Radtke was the only Cardinal to reach double-figures in scoring in the defensive battle finishing with 16 points.

Julia Kline scored a game-high 17 points to lead the Pirates on a night they were held to 33% shooting.

Cherry Creek 70, Arapahoe 53 - The Bruins jumped out to a 15-point halftime lead and held on from there in the second half of their 5A/4A Centennial contest with the Warriors on Feb. 18. The Warriors’ Kyle Lukasiewicz poured in 17 points and Max Whitehead added 11 in the game. This was the Warriors 10th loss in their last 11 games.

Littleton 62, Green Mountain 50 - The Lions finished their season with back-toback victories after defeating the Rams at home on Feb. 20. Senior Tre Blake scored a career-high 11 points while adding eight rebounds and five assists in his final high school basketball game. Fellow Seniors Zach Valadez and Tommy Kail scored 20 and 18, respectively, to lead the Lions to the win.

Littleton 54, Arvada 39 - The Lions were able to snap a six game losing streak on the road in 4A Jeffco action on Feb. 18 thanks to jumping out to an 18-8 first quarter lead.

Heritage 84, Douglas County 59 - The Eagles were able to even their home record on the season at 5-5 with a 5A/4A Continental win over the visiting Huskies on Feb. 17. The Eagles held a 28-0 lead at the end of the first quarter and kept the defensive pressure the entire game recording 11 steals. Offensively, the Eagles placed four players in double-figures led by Tom Skufca’s 21 points, six rebounds, and six assists joined by Tomas Ornelas with 18, Casey Opitz with 15, and Eric Lawson with 10. The Huskies were led in scoring by Luke Bowe with 18 points.

Fort Morgan 56, Englewood 48 - Englewood trailed by eight at the halftime intermission and could not claw back as it proved to be the final margin in their league contest on Feb. 19.

Elizabeth 72, Englewood 50 - The Pirates woes continued as they dropped their 15th straight on the road on Feb. 17.

The Cardinals’ seniors Jake Gavitt and Aaron Stone enjoyed their final home game in a Cardinals uniform. Gavitt scored a game-high 33 points on 13-17 field goals, pulled down 11 rebounds, and contributed five steals on the defensive end. Stone chipped in 18 points on 8-11 shooting, eight rebounds, and eight assists.

Ice Hockey Heritage 8, Valor Christian 1 - Heritage scored four goals on two power play opportunities and three even-strength in the first and second period to down Valor in Peak Conference action on Feb. 16. Nathan Compton led the scoring for Heritage powering in two goals while Jake West, Dalton Cline, and Charles Stewart each tallied a goal and two assists. Joseph Dullea scored a second-period goal for Valor off an assist from Chase Dilorio.

Six Continental League teams earn byes Staff report Continental League boys and girls teams secured good seeds in the Class 5A state basketball playoff brackets that were released Feb. 22.

ThunderRidge, which has lost two of its past three games, still managed to get a No. 1 seed in the boys brackets; No. 2 seeds included Mountain Vista and Legend. Chaparral and Rock Canyon were No. 3 seeds.

The Continental League ended up with six boys teams getting first-round

into the Arapahoe lead as the Warriors went on to win the game, 56-44.

“I am so happy with this win,” Knafelc the coach said. “We are a good shooting team, and we shot pretty well tonight. Defensively, we knew their offense focused on inside shots, so we tried to close that down. We didn’t stop Molly Rohrer because she is a great player and she scored a lot of points, but we did close off most of the rest of their players.”

Meanwhile, Cherry Creek’s goal is to learn from the game against Arapahoe in preparation for moving forward to the state playoffs, Curneen said.

“We wanted to win this game but it didn’t hap-

byes. The four seeded teams in the four brackets of the 48-team tourney drew byes into the second round.

In the girls 5A brackets, Highlands Ranch and ThunderRidge gained top seeds while Cherry Creek and Arapahoe were No. 2 seeds.

First-round games in the boys tournament were played Feb. 25 with the second-round scheduled for Feb. 28.

In first-round games involving south Metro boys teams, Fountain Fort Carson played at Castle View, Aurora Central played at Heritage, Rocky Mountain visited Cherry Creek, Arap-

ahoe traveled to Doherty and Highlands Ranch was at Chatfield.

First-round games in the Class 5A girls tournament were played Feb. 24 with the second round set for Feb. 27. The four seeded teams in the four brackets got tickets into the second round via byes.

Seven South metro girls teams had first-round games. Prairie View was at Castle View, Columbine played at Chaparral, Mountain Range was at Mountain Vista, Rock Canyon played at Horizon, Douglas County was at Dakota Ridge, Gateway went to Leg-

pen,” Curneen said. “But I told the girls we need to put this behind us and focus on the future, because all our goals are still ahead of us.”

Cherry Creek’s attack was led by the play of Rohrer, who scored 29 points for the Bruins. It also was a special night for her as a successful free throw was her 1,000th career point at Cherry Creek.

“We knew it would be a hard game tonight and they would come after us, but we didn’t come out as strong as we should have,” Rohrer said. “Arapahoe did a good job of collapsing in the lane and making it hard to score in the paint.”

She smiled as she talked about scoring 1,000 points for Cherry Creek.

“I have played on the varsity for four seasons, and scoring 1,000 career points is a milestone,” Rohrer said. “I love basketball, and, after graduation, I plan to go to CSU-Pueblo to play college ball.”

Pirates’ upset bid falls short Englewood boys basketball team falls short to Fort Morgan

By Tom Munds tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com Predictions of an easy Fort Morgan boys basketball win evaporated on Feb. 19 when Englewood mounted a chal-

lenge, so the Mustangs 56-48 win wasn’t decided until the final minutes of the fourth quarter.

“We played perhaps the best basketball of the season tonight when the only thing we had to play for was pride. We battled the whole game, and, if a couple of our shots had gone in in the last couple of minutes, the outcome of the game might have been different,” Pirates coach Dave Chapman said. “Our record hasn’t

been great, so playing hard and challenging one of the best teams in the league is a great way for our seniors and our team to end the season.”

The home game concluded the boys basketball season for the Pirates. Englewood finished the season 3-20 overall and went 0-13 against league opponents.

Six of the 12 players on the varsity roster are seniors, including starters Sean Bowering and Colton Korinek. Bowering finished the season as the leading scorer, averaging 15.2 points per game.

“Because we had a lot of kids who weren’t eligible to play, quite a few of our young kids got at least some varsity experience,” Chapman said. “That will help them work with our veterans like Brock Breazeal and Cecil Ondack. Our point guard Brock Breazeal is a freshman and will only get better, plus Cecil Ondack who is a strong player for us is scheduled to be back with us.”

Work for next season will begin soon with open gym time for basketball players, plus the Pirates will get into some summer leagues, working to be a better team next season, he said.

A good crowd, the pep band and the cheerleaders were on hand Feb. 19 to provide vocal and musical support for the Pirates as they faced Fort Morgan, the team that was second in the league.

Englewood again went into the game shorthanded with five starters and two junior varsity reserves on the bench.

But the Pirates came out strong, challenging Fort Morgan at both ends of the court.

The Mustangs run a fast-pace attack, and the Pirates did a good job of defend-

ing against that style of play. On offense, Englewood worked for good shots and kept pace on the scoreboard.

Fort Morgan built a 15-11 advantage by the end of the first period but was never able to go on a scoring run to put the game out of reach.

The Mustangs led 38-36 going into the fourth quarter and appeared to be pulling away. But the Pirates battled back and kept the score close, getting within three points. As time was running out, Englewood intentionally committed fouls to put Fort Morgan players on the free-throw line, hoping for a miss and a rebound. But the Mustangs hit most of their shots and won the game, 56-48.

Bowering led the Pirates in scoring with 14 points, Korinek had 13 and Ondack had 10 points.

Korinek had a good night on the court.

He was in double figures in rebounds and his scoring included a trio of baskets from three-point range.

It was his final prep basketball game.

“It was a good game for us tonight,” he said. “We were determined going into the game, we fought hard and it improved our confidence as it was the first time we stuck with these guys.”

The Pirates senior felt good going into the game and he was pleased his shots were on target.

“It was a good game for me,” he said.

“I have been in double figures in scoring before, but this is the first time I have hit three baskets from three-point range.”

After graduation, he said he plans to go to school in Wyoming to study welding.
