Duncan Park now has two playgrounds, one with equipment designed for 2- to 5-yearolds and another playground designed for 5- through 12-year-olds. Other amenities include a picnic shelter, water fountains for humans and a separate water fountain for dogs. There also is a multisport court that can be used

However, everything isn’t complete. Black said crews are working to finish putting in the irrigation system and sod for an athletic field, put in horseshoe pits and complete the extensive landscaping plan that includes mature trees, shrubs and newly sodded grass areas. The goal is to have everything completed by the end of October.

Right now, there are a few things for Mark Udall to worry about.

Recent public polling has indicated a coalescing of majority support for the Democratic senator’s challenger to his re-election bid, Republican Congressman Cory Gardner.

Then there’s the mocking Udall has received for his perceived over-emphasis of women’s issues this campaign, having been dubbed “Mark Uterus” along the way.

And, aside from battling Gardner, Udall could also be fighting against a Republican wave that political analysts predict will cost Democrat-held seats nationwide come Nov. 4.

So why shouldn’t Republicans be confident that Gardner will become the state’s next senator?

Remember Michael Bennet?

The Udall campaign is banking on the same, vaunted Democratic get-out-thevote machine that propelled Bennet to victory in a 2010 race against Ken Buck.

In that race, Bennet was trailing in several polls leading up to Election Day, yet he managed to eke out a victory by a margin of less than 2 percent.

And the Udall campaign believes this year’s ground game is even better than the one that was in place four years ago.

“With our groundbreaking get-out-thevote efforts and our army of volunteers, we will push it at the goal line,” said Udall campaign spokesman Chris Harris. “Our campaign was built for this moment.”

But Republicans scoff at Democrats’ reliance on the use of playbook from four years ago, one they say has little to do with the candidate himself.

“They say they will win, never because of Mark Udall himself, but it’s always because of tactics,” said Colorado Republican Party spokesman Owen Loftus. “Now they’re saying it’s because of the ground game. There comes a time that you do have to admit - it’s the candidate.”

Polls released last week show Gardner leading the race. A Quinnipiac University poll released on Oct. 16 shows Gardner with a 6 percentage point lead. A CNN/ Opinion Research Center survey that was conducted at the same time has Gardner up 4 points.

A handful of other recent polls have also shown Gardner up, although by slimmer margins.

If the CNN poll is an accurate barometer of how election night will go, the Udall team’s biggest concern would have to be lack of robust support he is getting from

City celebrates as major makeover nears completion

A successful grassroots project to preserve Duncan Park culminated in an Oct. 18 dedication ceremony.

“The park is beautiful and it is more than I expected,” Martha Cassidy said as she watched her grandson come down a slide. “The people who live in this area wanted this to stay a park. The city worked with the neighbors and what we have here today is a collaboration of what the city wanted to see in the park as well as what the area residents wanted in the park.”

The Englewood School District purchased the 3.3 acres of land, located in the 4800 block of South Pennsylvania Street, in the early 1950s as the site for Duncan School.

The school was closed in the late 1970s and the district leased the surrounding land to the city so it could be maintained as a park. For several years, All Souls School maintained a preschool and daycare center in the building.

In 2006, the school board voted to sell the Duncan Park property.

“The initial indication was the land would become a new housing development but neighbors organized, met with the school district and city officials and asked them to find a way to keep the land a park,” Jerrell Black, Parks and Recreation Director, said at the dedication.

The City of Englewood reached an agreement to purchase the land for $1.1 million, worked with neighbors to help develop designs for the park makeover and committed $1.3 million to the construction.

It’s an old story ... in every single item The small, faded railway label on the battered 1900s trunk resting on the worn floor of the antiques store bears the name of its once-upon-a-time owner: “For H.C. Stillman,” it says. “Pueblo.

Value — 100.”

Its brass hinges are tarnished, its leather straps stiff from age, its oakand-canvas sides scuffed from wear.

Its story, too, is old, so forgotten it was a dying whisper — until Bill and Cindy Pierce uncovered the vintage piece in an acquaintance’s storage unit.

“He was a music teacher at Central High in Pueblo in the ‘30s,” Cindy says of the name on the label. In those days, “they didn’t allow girls in orchestra or band, so he created an all-girls marching band — which I thought was totally cool.”

It is. Totally cool.

Just imagine H.C. Stillman’s courage in defying society’s notions, the difference he made for a group of musicplaying young girls, the path he paved for those who came after.

“There’s a story inside the trunk,” Cindy says, the kind that connects you with history. “We’re going to look him up and see what we can find.”

I happened to be browsing recently in Olde Time Antiques, one of several such stores on Pueblo’s historic Union Avenue, when Cindy and Bill — excited about their discovery — brought in the trunk. They rent space in the store to sell old treasures they find.

The trunk’s label indicated its destination back to Pueblo on a train in June 1930, possibly, Cindy thought, from a marching band competition.

As I listened, and looked around — at the dainty porcelain teacups that once graced a familiar table, the lace wedding

dress someone once wore for love, a deco cabinet that once stood in a family living room — the air suddenly seemed crowded by stories waiting to be heard, testaments to fragments of long-agos buried by the passage of time and the hurry of life.

That glimpse into the past is what motivates antiquarians such as Cindy and Bill, and Gary Price, who helps man the counter, and Johnny Baayen, who owns the store.

“I’m just fascinated by old things and disappointed by things that are new and wear out quickly,” Gary says. His gaze sweeps around the store. “Some of this stuff is over 100 years old. … We’ve become such a disposable society. I cherish things that last this long.”

Cindy does, too. She loves old things so much she rarely buys new.

Her Pyrex dishes and cooking utensils date back to the 1930s. She uses oldstyle watering cans in her garden.

“I give them another life,” she says.

Cindy and Bill have been collecting old things for at least 35 years from estate and garage sales and auctions.

Bill likes to search for car parts and beer signs, Cindy for her dishes and utensils.

Sometimes, they find unique treasures, such as the trunk, or the 100-year-old saddle, also sitting in the

store.

“It’s pretty darn worn,” Cindy says.

“But 100 years ago, you could see a guy riding around in that saddle. It makes you think … I just find it all fascinating.”

The glimpse back in time can even hook some of today’s younger generations.

Cindy recounts a conversation she overheard as a boy looked at a typewriter from the 1800s. “He asked his dad, `What is that?’ He had never seen a typewriter.”

Or a rotary phone.

Or cameras from the 1920s and ‘30s.

“They just love them,” Cindy says of young people, with a laugh. “They’ve never seen anything like that. They pick up a camera and try to figure out how the picture was taken … and they’re just kind of in awe.”

Most of the stories inside Olde Time Antiques are unknown, the objects brought in by dealers who simply aren’t familiar with their origins, proprietor Baayen says.

“You can only imagine the history if you were only able to follow it back in time …”

A walk among the thousands of pieces waiting for new life allows you to do just that: A 1930s metal toy squirt gun that probably still works.

A worn, chocolate-brown R.T. Frazier saddle made by the famed Pueblo saddlery from the turn of the 20th century.

Lawyers’ filing cabinets, nearly 100 years old.

A cream-colored 1946 Belmont radio.

The tag says it works.

A vintage 50mm camera case.

A wooden sewing machine table

Tentative OK given for balconies Apartment amenities would intrude into public space

By Tom Munds tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Development plans for 201 Englewood Parkway cleared a hurdle Oct. 13 when the city council gave consensus approval to proceed with the process to approve encroachment into the right-of-way for balconies and a canopy.

The company, Bannock Club, plans to demolish the former Church of Scientol-

ogy building and construct an apartment building. The new building will include 28 apartments, two work-and-live spaces and on-site parking for the building residents.

“We have worked with the developer for several months on ways to deal issues surrounding the location and physical layout of the site,” said Alan White, community development director. “Part of the discussion was, the proposal is for the apartment building to include balconies that extend over the public right of way.”

He said the balconies are amenities for the residents but the only way the developer can construct them is by receiving city approval to encroach into the public

Saving water High-end irrigation control plus cool, moist conditions helped the Broken Tee Golf Course at Englewood reduce annual water use by 28 percent this year.

Through Sept. 30, the computercontrolled irrigation system had applied about 62.5 million gallons of water to the course. That usage was down almost 20 million gallons from the 2013 total of about 86.2 million.

No treated water was used on the golf course. The irrigation water came from the South Platte River, the lakes on the course and wells on the course property.

right of way.

While none of the requested encroachments is at street level, the city must approve encroachment for the balconies to be constructed so that they extend into the right of way several feet above the ground.

Nanna Nielson Smith said her company is excited about developing the project.

The proposal is for on-site parking for the residents of the 28 apartments and the two live-work spaces on the ground floor.

Plans call for the apartments to be offered at market rate, which is now estimated at about $1,000 a month for a one-bedroom, one-bath unit.

“We anticipate construction will take

10 to 12 months,” she said. “If we get the encroachment approval and the necessary permits in the near future, the project should be nearing completion about this time next year.”

Mayor Randy Penn said he favored approval of the encroachments.

“This is a major improvement for the area,” he said. “I also feel it is a project that is good for our city.”

The council members gave consensus approval to move forward with the process to approve the encroachments. Consideration of first reading of the ordinance approving the encroachment is on the agenda for formal action during the Oct. 21 council meeting.

PYS organizing youth sports

By Tom Munds

tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Volunteers formed Pirate Youth Sports seeking to provide programs in eight sports for Englewood boys and girls because the city parks and recreation department no longer offers youth sports programs.

“We want to get Englewood’s young residents involved in the community through something that is fun and that something is our sports programs,” said Laura Sakry, PYS president. “Englewood Youth Sports Association provided a number of programs like football and baseball for the past several years. EYSA is gradually becoming Pirate Youth Sports as PYS expands the number of sports programs for Englewood kids.”

Youth football is underway. EYSA organized the teams and the program for several years.

This year’s program continued as football becomes part of Pirate Youth Sports.

While the football teams are still playing, young athletes can now register for PYS basketball, wrestling and cheerleading by going to the website at www.pirateyouthsports.com.

The website includes information about registration as well as updates on programs and other information.

Plans are for a recreational basketball league

made up of teams from the four Englewood elementary schools. The goal is to have age group teams for boys and for girls from each school.

Also seventh- and eighth-grade athletes can register to play competitive basketball in the Gold Crown League. There has been a youth wrestling club in Englewood for many years and plans are to continue the program.

Cheerleading is a new youth sports program and plans are for the program to continue all year. Spring sports programs are also planned in lacrosse and volleyball. When summer arrives, the PYS will organize teams to play baseball and softball.

The Englewood Soccer Association will continue to operate its youth programs as it has for a number of years.

Pirate Youth Sports took a big step toward its goal as the organization established a partnership with Sports Authority, the sports equipment retail corporation based in Englewood.

“Sports Authority is tailoring a package for us that will include raising funds...,” Sakry said.

“Our plans are to put much of the funds raised into scholarships so we can help more kids join our teams who are from families who can’t afford the registration fee.”

Another plus, she said, is that many Englewood High School athletes are now or are planning to serve as mentors for the youth players.

Campaigns reach out for Latino approval Both parties make case for coveted bloc

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com With ballots now having been mailed to every registered voter in Colorado, political campaigns and advocacy groups are ramping up efforts aimed at mobilizing a coveted voting bloc — Latinos.

Democratic leaders last week urged Latino voters to cast ballots in support of their party’s candidates, while blasting Republicans over policy positions that they believe Hispanics have long rejected.

But Republicans say they are working harder than ever to appeal to an influential bloc of voters that has by and large rejected GOP candidates statewide and at the national level in recent years.

Latino Democratic leaders held a press conference outside the Denver City and County Building, where they blasted Republican candidates for ignoring or being on the wrong side of issues of importance to the Hispanic community.

“They only give us lip service,” said Denver City Councilman Paul Lopez. “They only give us promises during a campaign, but when push comes to shove, when it’s any other day of the year besides Election Day, it’s, `We don’t have time for you.’”

Democrats are reminding Latino voters that it was their party that got through legislation at the state level this year that

makes it easier for undocumented students to attend college, as well as legislation that allows undocumented citizens to obtain licenses to drive.

Democrats also claim that while their party has worked toward immigration reform in Congress, Republicans have put up roadblocks.

They took aim at U.S. Reps. Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman, who are locked in tight races against Democrats this election cycle. Gardner is vying to unseat Sen. Mark Udall while Coffman tries to stave off a challenge to his 6th Congressional District seat from Andrew Romanoff.

Those who spoke at the press event said neither Gardner nor Coffman could be trusted on immigration issues. And they said they and their Republican colleagues in the House have failed to get any sort of immigration reform accomplished.

State. Sen. Jesse Ulibarri, D-Commerce City, whose Adams County-based state Senate district is part of Coffman’s 6th District, said Coffman for years “has been running against Latino and immigrant communities.”

Coffman has had to take tough votes on immigration measures, considering the complexity of the district he represents.

Coffman has been critical of President Obama’s leadership on immigration, but has also bucked his own party.

Over the summer, both Coffman and Gardner broke ranks and voted against a Republican-sponsored bill that sought to halt a program that shields young undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Colorado Community Media invites you to place an announcement to share your news. Please call 303-566-4100 for package and pricing information. Deadline is 10 a.m. Tuesdays the week preceding the announcement.

But Democrats believe Coffman’s “about face” on immigration issues is born out of necessity because he represents a district that grew more diverse after it was remapped.

“Hollow actions ring hollow for people in my neck of the woods and we won’t stand for it,” Ulibarri said, urging Latino voters to back Romanoff.

But the Coffman campaign thinks Ulibarri is the last person who should be touting Romanoff to Latino voters. Ulibarri was once critical of Romanoff for seeing through tough immigration measures while he was state House speaker in 2006.

Coffman campaign spokesman Tyler Sandberg responded to Ulibarri’s comments with the state senator’s own words to the Denver Post in 2010.

“He demonstrated that if it’s politically expedient for him, he’s willing to sacrifice the most vulnerable in the Latino communities,” Ulibarri told the Post. “It will be very difficult for him to rebuild those relationships with community members.”

The Coffman and Romanoff campaigns have been targeting Latinos through Spanish-language television and newspaper advertisements. And Coffman and Romanoff will soon square off in an Oct. 30 all-Spanish debate that will air on Univision.

Sandberg said Coffman has been knocking on doors in Latino neighborhoods and said the reaction he’s been getting is positive. He also believes that Democrats could be in for a surprise when they sort through the voting statistics of Latino voters after Election Day.

“More than the Democrats expect, that’s for sure,” Sandberg said, when asked what kind of support he expects Coffman to receive from Latino voters.

Republicans say they are ramping up Latino outreach efforts nationwide. Ali Pardo, the Hispanic press secretary for the Republican National Committee, said the GOP has put more staff in the field this year, specifically for the purpose of reaching Latino voters.

Pardo said it’s Democrats who have failed Latinos on issues that matter to their community, like the expansion of school choices for their children and economic issues.

Pardo does acknowledge that Republicans haven’t done enough work to reach out to Latinos in recent years, as evidenced by the vast majority who consider themselves Democrats.

“We haven’t been there and that’s the point,” she said. “A large portion of the community identifies with the values of Republican Party, but we have to show up.

Both parties have to be fighting for their vote.”

Democrats are countering with their own Latino “get out the vote” effort. Democratic Latino activists were expected to launch a statewide canvass of Hispanic voters over the weekend of Oct. 18-19.

Democrats aren’t concerned that Latinos will vote Republican. Their major worry is whether some vote at all.

“As a community, we can’t afford to sit this election out,” Ulibarri said.

Churches face prospect of gay weddings Religious groups vary in practice

By Chris Michlewicz

cmichlewicz @coloradocommunitymedia.com Hours after the Supreme Court paved the way for gay marriage in more than a dozen states, including Colorado, the phones started ringing.

Wedding coordinators, flower shops and cake-makers began preparing for the anticipated influx of ceremonies for gay couples.

For many local churches, however, the subject of gay marriage is still something of a conundrum.

Individual Episcopal churches in the state have the option to give “blessings” to same-sex relationships, but “at this point, they’re not authorized to offer the sacrament of marriage,” said the Rev. Rebecca Jones, spokeswoman for Robert O’Neill, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado.

Each parish is encouraged to undertake a period of “prayerful discernment” to decide whether to offer blessings, she said.

Actual wedding ceremonies in Episcopal churches “will be a source of continued discussion,” Jones said. Church decisions on major social issues take place at conventions every three years, and the next one is scheduled for July 2015.

Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch and Word of Life Christian Center in Lone Tree did not return calls for comment. Churches often follow the guidance of state and national committees that govern their respective denomination.

Most of the major churches — Baptist, Mormon, Muslim and Catholic, among them — still do not allow gay marriage, but other denominations have changed their stance, including the United Church of Christ and the Evangelical Lutheran Church, according to the Pew Research Center.

Some religious organizations are reassessing their positions on gay marriage, and earlier this month, comments made by Pope Francis suggested a change in tone for

the Catholic Church. During an interview with a Jesuit journal in Rome, he said gays and lesbians “must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity.”

The comments come on the heels of Pope Francis’ “Who am I to judge?” response to a reporter’s question about homosexuals.

In June, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the largest Lutheran church group in the United States, voted 559 to 451 in favor of allowing non-celibate gays to become ordained ministers. During its national meeting in 2005, delegates voted 503 to 490 against a measure that would have allowed non-celibate gay ordination and the blessing of same-sex unions.

Kerri Butler, owner of A Touch of Bliss, the largest wedding planning agency in Colorado, said she has helped plan numerous weddings for gay couples in non-denominational Christian churches and even was involved last year in the first same-sex ceremony at St. John’s Cathedral, an Episcopal church in Denver. Butler’s company also has helped organize numerous civil union ceremonies.

“The actual ceremony we perform is all about love anyway,” she said. “It’s more about what the vows are going to say, just like any other couple.”

While a few churches are tempering their opposition to gay marriage, some disenfranchised same-sex couples in Colorado choose to marry outdoors, with a friend or family member officiating the ceremony.

Getting married in a church was “never an option” for Eugene Ebner, who was raised in a strict Christian household and church environment that criticized homosexuality. Ebner, who considers himself “spiritual” rather than religious, said his family was shocked when he came out as gay. They continued to love him but still have problems with gay marriage. Ebner’s 84-year-old father initially said he would not attend his son’s wedding, but recently changed his mind.

“It was definitely an adjustment for him because of his generation, but when I told him I was getting married, he was very happy for me,” he said. “Love is love, and the more people see that, it takes them out of their (line of) thinking.”

Senate candidates target Ebola response Gardner, Udall differ on approach to travel ban

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com The government’s response to the Ebola virus became a new focal point in Colorado’s U.S. Senate race last week.

During an Oct. 15 debate in Denver, Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and his Republican challenger, Congressman Cory Gardner, sparred over the effectiveness of the response to the virus by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Gardner called for an immediate travel ban to and from West Africa, where the current Ebola outbreak resides.

“Not tomorrow, but now,” Gardner said at the KUSA-TV-sponsored debate.

But Udall said that decision should come from doctors and other health professionals who know more about the virus than politicians.

“If they believe we ought to close our borders and restrict flights to and from West Africa, let’s listen to them,” Udall said. “But senators and congressmen shouldn’t make those decisions.”

Later that week, Udall called on the CDC and the Transportation Security Administration to restrict those who are being monitored for Ebola symptoms from boarding airplanes.

The Ebola virus outbreak has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa and the World Health Organization recently said that about 1,000 new cases were appearing each week.

A man who was diagnosed with the virus in the U.S. died earlier this month. The two

WHAT THE HAIL! - The Preferred Local Roofing Company for Many Insurance Companies, Hundreds of Agents, and Thousands of Coloradans - No Creepy Door Knockers - Free Inspections

nurses who treated him have also contracted the disease, which is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids.

The Pentagon announced on Oct. 19 that it will build a rapid-response medical team that will provide assistance to civilian doctors and nurses who come in contact with the virus.

Gardner was critical of the government’s response to the virus, saying that not having a total travel ban to and from West Africa poses an “unacceptable danger.”

Gardner said, “We lack a strategy to deal with the Ebola virus,” and scolded the CDC for using funds to back other, less-important areas.

“Perhaps the CDC should stop spending money on things like Jazzercise, urban gardening and massage therapy and direct that money to where it’s appropriate to protecting the health of the American people,” he said.

The next day, Gardner asked CDC Director Tom Frieden why a travel ban has not been put in place. Gardner’s questions came during a congressional hearing where top Obama Administration officials provided testimony regarding the government’s response.

The CDC has said a travel ban would make it more difficult to track the virus because people coming to the U.S. may find other ways to get here, under the radar.

Udall said during the debate that he has full confidence in Frieden and supports the agency’s efforts. He also criticized Gardner’s lack of support for the CDC, claiming he had previously sought $770 million in cuts to the agency’s budget.

“We’re not going to beat Ebola by cutting back the CDC and our public health systems,” Udall said. “That’s the difference between the two of us.”

just the John and Bob show Four other candidates add spice to electoral stew

By Vic Vela

vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com One candidate is the husband of a strip club owner who has been endorsed by Snoop Dogg. Another is a faith-driven ballet dancer.

They make up half of the field of lesserknown gubernatorial candidates who are trying to shake up the two-party system while also putting some color back in Colorado politics.

Either John Hickenlooper will win reelection on Nov. 4 or Bob Beauprez will take the seat from him. But don’t tell that to the four candidates in the race whose names are not Bob or John.

“I can win and it’s going to send a shockwave through politics on the planet,” said Mike Dunafon.

Dunafon is the mayor of Glendale who had a brief playing career with the Denver Broncos. He is married to Debbie Matthews, owner of Shotgun Willie’s strip club.

Dunafon, who is running as an unaffiliated candidate, wants to reduce the size of government and believes that the two major parties have failed to rein in spending.

He is critical of recent efforts aimed at boosting K-12 education performance. He brands “Orwellian” Common Core education testing measures as “common floor.”

And he is against Amendment 68, a ballot measure that would provide schools with tax revenue that would come as a result of allowing casino-style gaming at the Arapahoe Park racetrack.

“Why don’t we just pass prostitution and say we’re giving it to the kids?” Dunafon said.

Dunafon is also pro-gun and pro-gay marriage and he supports the release of non-violent drug offenders from jail.

But Dunafon has made waves this election cycle for the non-traditional endorsements he has received, including those of hip-hop stars Wycleaf Jean and the one and only Snoop Dogg.

In fact, the two collaborated with Dunafon on a remix of the song, “The Trap,” which Dunafon says is “a metaphor for our false set of political choices.”

“Stop the intolerance/Gay couples free to wed/Women control their bodies/Get the government out of bed,” go some of the lyrics, with Dunafon and Snoop sharing vocals.

Libertarian candidate Matthew Hess doesn’t have hip-hop artists backing his campaign, but he is tapping into Dunafon’s passion for attracting voters who are fed up with the current two-party system.

“I think they don’t feel represented anymore,” Hess said. “It continually comes up that there’s a feeling of disregard, almost a benign neglect from the two parties.”

Hess, who grew up in Douglas County, is a systems administrator who said he has volunteered thousands of hours with the Boy Scouts of America. He doesn’t like government intrusion and believes overregulation and high taxes slow economic growth. In other words, he is a Libertarian.

“Some do think Libertarians are nuts, utopians and anarchists,” he said. “But others are starting to see that Libertarians are right. It’s based on common sense and

it’s very logical and consistent.”

Then there’s Harry Hempy. With a name like that, he is the perfect standard-bearer for the Green Party.

“It fits,” Hempy said of his name. “I think it give me a 10 percent handicap over the other candidates. You won’t believe how many people ask me if that’s my real name.”

Hempy, who lives in western Boulder County near Jamestown, is a retired IBM computer scientist.

He is also a former Democrat who said he left the party out of frustration that its leaders weren’t taking the issue of campaign finance limits seriously.

“I finally became convinced that they were not interested in taking money out of politics, so I said there’s no hope in this party, just like in the Republican Party,” Hempy said.

Hempy would like to see a faster development of renewable energy resources and wants the government to stop handing out “special tax subsidies” for oil and gas companies.

Hempy also wants government to do something about “the injustice of low pay and corporate control.” He believes that message resonates with voters who may be disillusioned with government and politics.

“Sixty percent of Americans want to have a third major party and they don’t realize they’re in the majority for wanting that,” he said.

The veteran candidate of the group is Paul Fiorino, an unaffiliated candidate who is making his third run for the governor’s office.

“It’s just a matter of name recognition, that’s all it is,” Fiorino said of getting voters’ attention. “People see you on the ballot a couple of times and maybe they’ll take you seriously the third time.”

Fiorino believes the state has only scratched the surface when it comes to the possibilities of Amendment 64, which legalized recreational marijuana sales and use in Colorado. He would like to see the state take on a greater role in promoting cannabis commerce and said there is also great economic potential in the hemp industry.

On education, Fiorino said he is frustrated that schools have cut back on art programs, the humanities and physical fitness.

“We’re supposed to be the healthiest state and we don’t even have a physical fitness standard,” he said.

Fiorino was raised in Douglas County and is ballet dancer who has performed on stage from New York to Denver.

In the early 1990s, Fiorino was affected

by Guillain-Barre syndrome, a disease where the body’s immune system attacks parts of the nervous system. Fiorino has fought through the disease, which can paralyze muscles, and has even released his own album, where he plays guitar and performs faith-inspired songs.

Fiorino believes there are parallels in working as a performing artist and being a governor.

“You need to bring chaos together to put on a performance,” he said. “That’s what an artistic director can do and that’s what a governor does.”

“But, just being a ballet dancer in America takes some cojones, I think.”

Holiday Bazaar returns to Malley About 106 vendors will offer merchandise for sale at annual event

display a wide variety of merchandise at the bazaar. At bazaars in the past, the majority of items are made by vendors and can include hand-knitted items and handmade jewelry. Also, in past years there have been a variety of holiday decorations that have ranged from artisancreated holly wreaths with a Broncos theme to hand-made ornaments painted with classic winter scenes. Expectations are there will be a wide variety of holidaythemed items available this year.

The bazaar history dates back to the late 1960s, when the event was first held on the same November Saturday as the Englewood Parade. While there is no longer an Englewood Parade, the Malley Holiday remains alive, well and thriving.

Staff report A way to get a jump on the gift-buying season is to attend the Malley Senior Recreation Center’s annual Holiday Bazaar that will be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Nov. 1 at the center, 3380 S. Lincoln St. As in year’s past, the Malley center will undergo its annual transformation from a facility to exercise, take classes or eat lunch into the one-stop shopping experience.

Time has come to talk about time Time waits for no one, unless you have a humdinger of a hangover, and then it goes on and on. It stands still.

At other times, time wears winged sandals, like that flower delivery guy. Actually his name is Mercury Man. Mercury Man has some Denver in him.

According to Wikipedia, “On Aug. 18, 1910, 15 American florists led by John Valentine, a Denver lawyer and floral company owner, agreed to serve each other’s out-of-town customers by exchanging orders via telegraph, and they called their organization the Florists’ Telegraph Delivery (FTD).”

I don’t know which one of them came up with the idea of representing the company with the god Mercury, but it was ingenious. It made an impression on me long before I ever started to order flowers for anyone.

Maybe it was because I ran track, and he looked like he might have been a track star too. I set a school record that will never be broken. It’s not that impressive: They just don’t run the race (220) anymore.

We used to compare our times after meets, and if we improved, we improved by splits of seconds.

And then we would go to an American history class, and it seemed like it took an hour for 10 minutes to go by.

I ran out of time on an algebra test, and guessed the answers, and I was right. But I was penalized for not showing my work. I still don’t know how I did it.

If one train leaves the station at 8 o’clock going 50 mph and another train leaves the station without enough dinner rolls for everyone, what time would a third train have to leave the station with rolls for everyone on the second train?

Time is very important in track, unless you are a pole vaulter.

My favorite pole vaulter — ever — is a Texas high school girl named Charlotte Brown.

She finished fourth in the state meet this year, and cleared 11 feet. I trip over the dog.

Charlotte depends upon an electronic signal with a beeper to tell her when it’s time to jump. Charlotte is blind. I dare you to try to get through the YouTube about her without getting choked up.

I like baseball. There are innings, not quarters and halves. An inning might last four or five minutes, or 45 minutes.

The time it takes to play an entire baseball season is imposing. The season starts in April, and they are still playing in November.

Conceivably, you could conceive a baby on Opening Day, and the kid would be around for the seventh game of the World Series.

We all get two years: One to the left of the dash, and one to the right of the dash. My father’s years were 1919-2008. I will never forget the number to the right of his dash. My father lived a long time.

It takes a couple of hours to write a column. Then I leave it alone, sometimes overnight, and sometimes for a few days. I read it, reread it, revise it, and sometimes I delete it.

Directors play around with time all of the time with devices like flashbacks and flash forwards.

Some people are habitually — even addictively — late. I am always early.

My dog is aging differently than I am, and I don’t like it.

If your son is 10, he’s a kid. If your dog is 10, his clock is ticking.

Jennifer said she would be here between 6 and 6:30 two Fridays ago. We had an 8:33 a.m. flight to Los Angeles the next day. The game between UCLA and Oregon in the Rose Bowl — we were there — started at 12:30 p.m.

I don’t think college football is a waste of time. Besides, as Bertrand Russell said, “The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.”

‘Two steps back’ gives room for running start You know the saying, “One step forward and two steps back,” right? And sometimes it may even be, “One step forward and three or four steps back.”

Many of us have endeavored to improve our life in some capacity. You too may have experienced this forward-then-backward type of result. People trying to lose weight may become very energized about their diet and exercise plan, and they just might maintain a consistent routine for the first few days or maybe even the first week. And then as life happens, workloads increase, and personal issues surface, we wind up finding every excuse to drop our consistent behaviors, exercise routines and diet commitments and end up even further back then when we first began. Sound familiar?

It’s like the sales professional who has the responsibility for consistently generating new business by selling to new customers.

Sometimes as sales people we get fired up about the potential to earn more money through acquiring new customers. So we invest the time necessary to build up our business. We make calls, attend networking events, visit prospects, and ask for referrals.

And we do this consistently for a brief period of time and experience either the near-term benefits of our behaviors or quickly get frustrated with rejection and therefore revert to doing “busy work” instead of productive sales work. And one step forward and two

steps back in the world of selling is a recipe for disaster, or at the least, a loss or reduction of income.

My experience with business owners and managers is that many cycle through the same lack of consistent behaviors or modeling of consistent leadership characteristics.

For a week or maybe for a month or two the focus is on the showroom being immaculate, positive feedback is shared, coaching in areas that need development takes place, and we inspect what we expect. The danger in the one step forward and two steps back for business owners and managers is that when we fall two steps back, we take our employees with us. And once that happens we have to work much harder to get the team back on track.

And the same things happen in our personal relationships too, right? Today we give hugs, love on each other, speak kindly, and show gratitude and appreciation. Maybe we

even do this for a few days or weeks. Then the flowers stop coming, the notes don’t get written, the hugs are fewer and farther between, car doors stop being opened, and hand-holding and gentle and subtle touches seem to disappear. So the one step forward and three or four steps back leads to a breakdown in our relationships, and repairing the damage and the resentment could take months or even years to fix.

So the answer isn’t perfection. We will never be perfect in every single thing that we do. The answer is consistency and understanding that we are the ones who can control the consistency of our behaviors that will lead us to the results that we truly desire in every aspect of our lives. Forget perfection, strive for excellence and make the commitment to consistency, and then watch as you take yourself and your family or your team five steps forward.

How would a commitment to consistency change or shape your life or business?

I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we get past the one step forward and two steps back roadblocks of life, we will consistently have and enjoy a better than good week.

Veterinarian honored by peers MacMillan recognized by state group for work with police

By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Randa MacMillan sat recently at a coffee shop with Lily, her black Labrador retriever, a young woman stopped just to thank MacMillan for her contagiously cheerful demeanor.

“It cheered me up just watching you through the window,” said the woman.

It’s a view of MacMillan shared by many.

“Dr. MacMillan’s generous spirit, ready wit and kind heart have been shared freely with many organizations,” writes the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association in its announcement that she had won its 2014 President’s Award.

MacMillan was president of CVMA in 2013, when the state’s Dog Protection Task Force was being created to help police officers better understand dog behavior. There had been a rash of officers shooting dogs in the metro area at the time, and the task force was an effort to stem it.

“Dr. MacMillan was the natural choice to co-chair the task force … and she rose to the challenge in forging consensus despite disparate stakeholder views,” writes CVMA. “Her leadership was instrumental to the task force successfully concluding its efforts.”

For her part, MacMillan just wanted to save lives.

“If we can save just one dog, it’s worth it,” she said. “I don’t want the police to get hurt, either. We’re just trying to keep the police, the dogs and bystanders safe.”

MacMillan owned Arapahoe Veterinary Hospital in Littleton from the mid-1980s until two years ago, when she sold it and retired. Now she spends a lot of time volunteering at places like Denver Pet Partners, Children’s Hospital Prescription Pet Program and Guide Dogs for the Blind. A particular favorite for her and Lily is visiting The Gathering Place, a daytime shelter for women.

“It’s hard being homeless, and a lot of those women have had to give up their own pets,” she said.

Volunteering has taken her to the ends of the earth and back, from spaying and neutering street dogs in Mexico to tending to the hardy sled dogs of the Iditarod in Alaska.

“It’s the coldest I’ve ever been,” she said of the great race, which pits 16 teams of 14 dogs against each other to run 100 miles a day for 15 days in a row.

“They love it,” she said. “All they do is take the brake off, and off they go. And the mushers take better care of their dogs than they take care of themselves, so we took care of them, too.”

But she loves being at home in Littleton, too.

“In Littleton, people love their animals and take good care of them,” she said. “But I’ve never understood why some people want to have a pet, but they don’t want to interact with them. … Vets are required to report abuse, but sometimes it might just be ignorance, and then, as a vet, you can help them, and teach them to be a good pet owner.”

In addition to all her volunteering, MacMillan still does relief work at her old clinic in the Riverside Downs shopping center.

“She’s amazing,” said Naomi Weber, who

Randa MacMillan and Lily, her black Lab, spend a lot of time making people happy. MacMillan, a retired veterinarian, recently earned statewide recognition for her efforts to teach police officers to understand dog behavior. Photo by Jennifer Smith works with her at what’s now called VCA Littleton Hospital. “All the techs are like, ‘Yay! Randa’s here!’ She’s a lot of fun.”

MacMillan, who originally wanted to be an animal laboratory technician but decided it was more fun saving animals, says the

work is in her blood.

“I personally like animals better than people, especially when they’re sick,” she said. “People can be obnoxious when they’re sick. Animals seem to get it that you’re trying to help them.”

Project ReCycle holds comedy fundraiser Oct. 29 event set for south-metro venue

By Jane Reuter

jreuter@coloradocommunitymedia.com Thanks to Douglas County-based Project ReCycle, more than 4,500 children are riding bicycles they otherwise could not afford. Nonprofit director AJ Stapleton hopes the program brings some joy into the lives of those struggling with economic disadvantages.

Stapleton’s 6-year-old mission revolves around the goodness of others, including companies and individuals who donate bicycles, volunteers who help refurbish and distribute them and those who donate space in which to restore the bicycles.

But even Project ReCycle doesn’t get a completely free ride.

“It costs us $52.52 to get a kid on a bike,” Stapleton said.

Expenses include difficult-to-recycle parts like cabling, helmets and locks, plus some money to pay part-time shop managers.

To help meet those expenses, Project ReCycle will host its third annual Night of Laughter fundraiser. The Oct. 29 event at Comedy Works South in Greenwood Vil-

lage starts with a 6 p.m. silent auction and hors d’oeuvres, followed by the 7:30 p.m. comedy show. Steve “Mudflap” McGrew will entertain.

Project Recycle has reserved the club.

General admission tickets are $35 and VIP tickets, which include reserved seating and four drink tickets, are $100.

Project Recycle typically distributes bicycles at schools. It receives nominations for worthy schools, then meets with each school’s principal to ensure it meets the program’s qualifications requirements.

Project Recycle has distributed bicycles in Rio Grande, Adams, Arapahoe and Jefferson County among others.

Children who receive bicycles don’t have to pay for them monetarily, but the program requires they earn them in other ways.

“We encourage them to improve their grades and attendance; they have to improve to earn a bike,” Stapleton said. “It gives them pride of ownership, teaches them responsibility, and about rewardbased performance.”

Project ReCycle establishes an individual baseline for each child, and Stapleton meets with them to provide encouragement.

As big as the program already is, lack of funding prevents Project ReCycle from

meeting the demand for bicycles.

“Right now, we’ve been trying to slow things down and try to get in front of the bull,” Stapleton said. “Our goal is to expand to different states.”

To that end, Stapleton is focused on streamlining the process, creating easily duplicated systems and building inventory.

“I have two guys that are shop managers; I need to get enough funding so I can pay those guys full-time,” he said. “Then we can start handling the requests that are coming in.”

Karl Pierson’s temper flared publicly two days before he attacked Arapahoe High School with a gun, a machete and explosives.

Arapahoe High teacher Vicki Lombardi told investigators the following account of the incident, as presented in a summary of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office’s report, released Oct. 10.

“On Wednesday, December 11, 2013, Karl got locked out of Vicki’s classroom. By the time someone opened the door for Karl, he was yelling and pounding on the door. Karl was very angry over the incident and Vicki asked him to leave the classroom. Vicki called for assistance from administration and Kevin (assistant principal Kevin Kolasa) responded.

Vicki told Kevin that Karl scared her. Kevin told Vicki he was sending Karl home for the rest of the day and she was fine with that.

Vicki did not think that Karl’s behavior warranted a suspension.”

By then, Pierson — who fatally shot student Claire Davis and killed himself on Dec. 13, 2013 — was no stranger to the Arapahoe High administration and staff.

The classroom incident came roughly three months after Pierson, an 18-year-old Highlands Ranch resident, had threatened to kill speech and debate coach Tracy Murphy.

Kolasa, now the assistant principal at Euclid Middle School in Littleton, found himself dealing with Pierson then as well.

During an interview with investigators after the shooting, Kolasa said he had dealt with Pierson for the last two years. He said Pierson was suspended once and sent home on other occasions.

September 2013 is given much attention in the investigation’s summary. After hearing of the death threat, Murphy — who would find himself fleeing from a shotgun-armed Pierson on Dec. 13 — spoke first to Principal Natalie Pramenko. She referred Murphy to Kolasa, the report states.

The following are excerpts from Kolasa’s interview with investigators.

“In September 2013, Kevin (Kolasa) was pulled aside by (teacher) Mark Loptein and Tracy Murphy. Mark told Kevin he heard Karl (Pierson) yelling that he was going to ‘kill that guy.’ Mark believed Karl was talking about Tracy. Kevin called (Pierson’s mother) Barbara who advised that Karl was upset about Tracy demoting him (from his captainship on the debate team). Barbara verified Karl had said he was going to kill Tracy. Barbara held Karl out of school for the rest of the week, which was three days. Prior to returning to school, a threat assessment was done on Karl by (school psychologist Esther Song).

“After the threat assessment was completed, there was a meeting with Karl, his parents, Esther and Kevin. Esther advised that it was safe for Karl to come back to school. Tracy spoke with Kevin about his concerns and the fear for his safety. Kevin felt that Tracy seemed less concerned about the threat as time went on. Kevin took the threat against Tracy seriously. Tracy did tell Kevin that he thought about resigning. Kevin advised ACSO Deputy James Englert of the threat made toward Tracy by Karl.

“After the re-entry meeting, Kevin decided that Karl could be part of the speech and debate team by going to the tournaments but he could not go to the practices. Kevin told Karl that the decision was his and not Tracy’s.”

Investigators found no criminal liability on the part of the school district. Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy has declined to comment on specifics regarding Arapahoe High personnel’s handling of Pierson.

In an Oct. 10 letter to LPS families and staff, Scott Murphy said, “Some of the report’s detail was startling but confirmed the direction the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education has been taking, both before and after those events. …We recognize that prevention is the key to reducing the risk of violence in our schools.”

In early October, the school board approved spending $810,000 for an in-house mental-health clinic and $200,000 for additional school resource officers.

Pros and cons of ballot issues presented League of Women Voters condense political ads into two-hour forum

rum at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Centennial on Oct. 15, with panelists representing both sides of each of the four statewide ballot issues.

Voters will decide the fates of Amendment 67, Definition of Person and Child; Amendment 68, Horse Racetrack

By Jennifer Smith Gambling; Proposition 105, Genetically Modified Food; jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Proposition 104, School Board Meeting Requirements.

Drew Hymer was the only man on the panel and the The League of Women Voters held a well-attended foonly one with a prop. He laid out his basic argument in favor of what’s known as the “personhood amendment” on a white board placed next to him: “It is wrong to intentionally kill an innocent human being. Abortion intentionally kills an innocent human being. Therefore, abortion is wrong.”

COLORADO Representing the other side was Buffy Mendez, who COLORADO said the law could criminalize some forms of birth control CITIES TOWNS and potentially even miscarriages.

COLORADO CITIES && TOWNS “You’re giving legal and constitutional rights to a womCITIES &Stronger TOWNS Building Building Stronger an’s fertilized egg,” she said.

Communities Communities “It will change literally hundreds of laws in our criminal Building Stronger code.”

Communities Representing those in favor of allowing gambling at 271 Colorado municipalities what could become an extensively remodeled Arapahoe 271 Colorado working hard municipalities for you.

Park racetrack was Monica McCafferty. With some of the 271 Colorado municipalities working hard for you. profits marked for education, she said the amendment working hard for you. could mean $132 more per student per year.

“It’s good for education, it’s good for Colorado and it’s good for the economy,” she said.

Polly Page, a former Aurora city councilmember, is extremely opposed to gambling so close to her community

and doubtful that McCafferty’s numbers add up.

“This is a constitutional amendment to benefit one company, and that company is not even a Colorado company right now,” she said.

Ranelle Lang, a former school superintendent in Greeley, was there to argue against opening negotiations between teachers unions and their districts to the public.

She says it’s overbroad, an unfunded mandate and poorly worded.

“It is something that can already happen, and it takes away local control,” she said.

Francoise Bergan, a prolific blogger for the Independence Institute, said it’s a step toward more transparency in government.

“As far as being an unfunded mandate, it doesn’t cost much to unlock the door,” she said.

Labeling genetically modified foods as such is one both sides agree should happen, but they differ as to how.

Trina Cooper said her pro-Proposition 105 group is working with a coalition of 37 states in an effort to establish what could become a national model.

“But if we can’t get it done on a national level, we have to come back down to the people,” she said.

Ashley Breitnauer, associate director of policy communications for Colorado Farm Bureau, says the piecemeal approach could put this state’s farmers and ranchers at a disadvantage. With food products crossing state lines all the time, Breitnauer says labeling requirements should be made at the federal level.

“It’s making our state a little island unto itself,” she said.

M E T R O

Service set in memory of showman Randy Weeks could handle the truth. In all the years that I have written column items about Denver Center Attractions productions, he never admonished me when I didn’t like or walked out on a particular play or musical at The Buell Theatre.

But we weren’t done. The professional relationship I so valued was cut short when the DCPA president and Broadway executive director died Oct. 9 during a trip to London to attend the Independent Producers Network conference. He was 59.

The public is invited to honor Weeks, along with his family, during a celebration of life at 4 p.m. Nov. 3 on the stage of the Buell Theatre.

Memorial gifts can be made to The Randy Weeks Memorial Fund for the Bobby G Awards, which supports the advancement of musical theater for Colorado high school students. Please make checks payable to Denver Center for the Performing Arts and mail to: DCPA Development Office, 1101 13th St., Denver, CO 80204.

Matisse, contemporaries shook up world of art

By Sonya Ellingboe

sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “In the orchestra I was conducting, I decided in order to be heard, to use only trumpets, cymbals and drums, which in this sphere of work, meant tubes of paint: vermilions, chromes, greens and Prussian blue to say what I want to say …,” painter Maurice de Vlaminck once said.

In November 1905, according to the Denver Art Museum’s magazine, French painter Henri Matisse and a group of his friends exhibited their works in the annual Salon d’Automne in Paris, causing an immediate stir. The work was characterized by bright colors, loose brushstrokes and expressive style — a departure from the more conservative styles that had been shown in past years. These artists sought to redefine painting.

In addition to Matisse, the group included Andre Derain, Albert Marquet, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Georges Braque and Kees Van Dongen.

Critics were very unkind. Marcel Nicolle wrote of “Formless steaks of blue, red, yellow and green, all mixed up, splashes of raw color without rhyme or reason …” Another critic named them “Les Fauves,” wild beasts.

Fourteen vibrant paintings by this group are exhibited in Denver through Feb. 8 — on loan from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. They are installed at the Denver Art Museum in a most engaging manner.

Imagine walking into Matisse’s elaborately decorated parlor at his home, which is illustrated by a large photograph showing his collection of rich textiles, vases, carvings and other objects. (The photo was taken in the 1940s when “he was more affluent,” said museum director Christoph Heinrich.)

The installation staff proposed painting some gallery walls in turquoise, red and aubergine — colors found in the paintings. It makes each work of art — hung with ample space around it — just pop.

The staff collaborated with the Denver Center Theater Company to borrow props — velvet chairs and sofas, dark wood side tables and an intriguing collection of artifacts, such as the artist might have owned: vases, small sculptures and other interesting objects. And from the gorgeous Shaver Ramsey Gallery in Cherry Creek, they borrowed a collection of richly patterned Oriental rugs.

Pot shop eyed for TV

Though the lead of a new television pilot ordered for truTV is Denver marijuana dispensary owner Andy Williams, don’t expect him to be singing “Moon River.”

Williams would more likely sing Abba’s “Money, Money, Money” in the reality series that centers on the family dynasty behind the Medicine Man Marijuana Dispensary at 4750 Nome St. truTV has ordered a pilot for “Medicine Man” (working title) with executive producer Tony Krantz (“24,” “Felicity”) with Wilshire Studios producing and Flame Ventures’ Drew Comins as co-executive producer.

“Medicine Man” will focus on the Williams family dynasty and its unusual brand of business savvy. Medicine Man has a 40,000-square-foot industrial cultivation facility used for growing its award-winning product, employs 75 people across its various divisions, and is in construction on its first satellite outpost in nearby Aurora.

Barn blowout marks changes

“Open Window, Collioure” by Henri Matisse (French, 1869-1954) 1905, oil on canvas, 21 3/4 x 18 1/8 in. is in the “Matisse and Friends” exhibit at the Denver Art Museum.

Seating areas are arranged in front of each small group of paintings, inviting the visitor to sit, take a deep breath and really look at each single work of art — a unique experience in a beautifully organized space. Leather-bound journals on the side tables invite one to jot down personal responses to the art. Allow time to read the brief framed quotes from the artists.

Additionally, on the table next to Andre Derain’s paintings is a folder with photos of more work. It explains that in 1906, he was commissioned to paint a series of 50 seascapes modeled after Monet’s works. His view of the Thames is created with a more subdued palette, but still exhibits the loose brushwork of his colleagues.

Derain wrote: “Fauvism was our ordeal by fire … It was the era of photography. This may have influenced us and

IF YOU GO “Matisse and Friends: Selected Masterworks from the National Gallery of Art” is exhibited through Feb. 8 in the Gallagher Family Gallery on the first floor of the Hamilton Building. It is included in general admission and free for members. Denverartmuseum.org, 720-865-5000. played a part in our reaction against anything resembling a snapshot of life …

No matter how far we moved away from things, it was never far enough. Colors became charges of dynamite.”

Roul Dufy, whose “Regatta at Cowes” is saturated with brilliant blues, wrote: “What I wish to show when I paint is the way I see things with my eyes and with my heart.”

Plan a relaxed visit to respond to these dramatic visions of a colorful world. Joy awaits.

The Barn at Raccoon Creek, at 7301 W. Bowles Ave. near Littleton, celebrated its groundbreaking of an extensive project that includes the renovation of the historic red milking barn on the Grant family-owned Raccoon Creek property, and a series of new builds to accommodate Colorado’s booming destination wedding industry.

In addition to officially breaking ground on the project, the event featured a raffle giveaway and site discounts to attendees, tours of the historic property and refreshments from Gigi’s Cupcakes. Littleton-area resident and bride-to-be Kaley Barrett won the raffle giveaway of one waived site fee (up to a value of $5,500) for her future wedding held at The Barn. Barrett and her fiance Stephen Sferra plan to be wed at The Barn next July.

The event featured members of the Grant family, with former resident of the property Newell Grant serving as the family spokesperson. Other notable guests included Jefferson County Commissioners Faye Griffin, Casey Tighe and Donald Rosier, The Barn at Raccoon Creek sales director Abby Nurre, and Jordy Construction’s Sean Wardroup, Dan Martell, Edgar Quintero and Kristin Kyser.

The Barn at Raccoon Creek is a part of the original Grant Ranch property that dates back to 1878, when the first Democratic Gov. James B. Grant purchased the property to use as a gun and sporting club for family and friends. The property was later sold to a cattle rancher, and in 1933 was repurchased by the Grant family.

Pirates double last year’s win total Englewood edges Alameda 3-2 in marathon volleyball match

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com The Oct. 14 Englewood-Alameda volleyball match brought fans of both teams to their feet to cheer on their players in the hard-fought battle for points during a classic clash of evenly-matched teams.

Englewood won the first two games and Alameda won the next two. Englewood then came from behind to win the fifth game, 15-9, to win the match 3-2.

“This was a big win for us,” Pirates coach Kristal Kostiew said. “It is our sixth win of the season and that is twice the number of wins the team had last year.

From the records I have seen, it is the most match wins an Englewood volleyball team has had in quite a few years.”

She said she wasn’t nervous when the match went to the fifth game.

“I knew the girls could win the game.

It was just a matter of them believing they could do it,” she said. “It was a great match and both teams played well. I am proud of the way our girls pulled things together in the deciding game.”

The win raised Englewood’s overall record to 6-14 and marked their second league in as the season heads into the home stretch. The Pirates fell to Elizabeth 3-0 two nights later and were at home Oct. 21 against Fort Lupton and Oct. 23 against Skyview.

In the first game against Alameda — a team that got the best of the Pirates earlier this season — Englewood broke a 16-16 tie and went on to win, 25-17. The second game was almost a repeat performance except that Englewood took the lead for good at 10-9 and won 25-16.

Alameda rebounded to win the third game, 25-22. The fourth game was knotted up at 24-24 and neither team could secure a two-point advantage to win until Alameda pulled ahead to win, 30-28.

Alameda got a 6-4 lead to open the fifth game, but Pirate senior Julie Kline served for Englewood as they scored seven straight points to take the lead for good.

Englewood went on to win the game 15-9, giving them the match.

“We had the momentum after two games but we made some mistakes in the third game,” Kostiew said. “The girls adjusted in the fourth game. They battled hard and several times they were one point away from a win, but that didn’t happen, so we played a fifth game.

“Long matches like this test the endurance of the players. I believe the fact Chad Rail, our D team coach, conducts 30 minutes of conditioning for all our players before every practice built the endurance we

Dominique Daughtry, Englewood’s libero, smiled and said the match against Alameda was crazy.

“It was crazy on how well we played together as a team and it was crazy how the fought back,” she said. “We won those first two games and I think we thought we

would just take that third game and the match. They dug in and gave us a fight.

That made the match fun and I think we enjoyed it.”

She said the fifth game was stressful.

“Every point is so important so you have to focus on making good plays every time you touch the ball,” she said. “The stress eased a little when we got ahead but it was still stressful until we scored the winning point.”

Daughtry said she likes playing volleyball.

“I like to play aggressive,” she said. “I like volleyball because I like how aggressive play can get on your team’s side of the net as every player presses to make good plays every time she gets to the ball.”

Englewood had a group of visitors cheering for them in the stands against Alameda.

“We went to the Regis University camp last summer and made friends with the coaches and players,” Kostiew said. “We are honored to have the Regis coach and quite a few members of the Regis women’s volleyball team are here to support us tonight. Our players and coaches are going to return the favor and cheer for Regis when they play their match on Oct. 18.”

Englewood runner going to state Senior qualifies at Oct. 16 4A regional cross country meet

By Tom Munds

tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Chad Glover became the first Englewood High School cross country runner to qualify for state since 2006 when he finished seventh in a field of almost 100 runners at the Oct. 16 Class 4A, Region 1 cross country meet.

“The course was relatively flat, which is good,” the senior said after the regional race in Jefferson County, near Lakewood.

“It was a great day to run. However, it was a little warm, a little windy and the footing wasn’t the greatest at some spots on the course so this isn’t a race where you are likely to post your best times.”

Glover, who posted a time of 17 minutes, 25 seconds, now joins the runners who till take part in the Class 4A State Championship Meet that will be held Oct. 25 at the Penrose Center in Colorado Springs.

Both teams and individuals compete at regionals for spots at state. At the Oct. 16 race, the top four teams and the top 15 runners, regardless of team, qualified for state.

The 5-kilometer course traced a figure-8 pattern through the open space area just west of D’Evelyn High School. Glover came off the starting line strong and was in the top 10 runners when the 3.1-mile race reached the 2-mile point.

“At the 2-mile point, it becomes a test of endurance,” the Pirate senior said. “There was a Valor guy I have raced against several times this year. He was just a short distance ahead of me so I used him to set the pace and make sure I finished right behind him.”

He said in the first mile, he saw six runners ahead of him so he kept pace with them, made sure no one passed him assure he would qualify for state.

As a senior, this was his last chance to qualify for state. Glover finished 25th as a sophomore but had problems and didn’t Runner continues on Page 20

run a good race as a junior. He said his effort at the Oct. 16 regionals was what he had been seeking to do since he came to Englewood High School.

“I believe winning the league championship boosted my confidence,” he said. “I felt great at the league meet and I feel I ran a pretty dominant race that showed my increased training was paying off. I knew if I came to regionals and ran the same kind of race, I would have a good chance to qualify for state.”

Glover said his increased training meant bumping up the distances so he was running about 30 miles a week and increasing the intensity of each practice so there were more hard days and the practice includes some quality runs.

He said he planned to take Oct. 17 as a day off, get some good rest, eat some good food and not do much.

“Sunday through Tuesday I’ll plan to get some highintensity work in before taking Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to rest up,” he said. “I believe then I’ll be ready Oct. 25 to go the state meet in Colorado Springs and try to run the best race of my high school career.”

the group the senator has so strongly courted since the beginning of the campaign: Women.

Udall has spent millions of advertising dollars hammering Gardner on issues like abortion and birth control, trying to paint Gardner’s conservative, pro-life beliefs as being outside the mainstream.

But Republicans slam Udall’s “single-issue” campaign tactics as being offensive toward women. And the “Mark Uterus” monicker has become part of the online and talking head political chatter in similar fashion to the “Both Ways Bob” label that was pinned on Bob Beauprez during the Republican’s failed 2006 gubernatorial bid.

The CNN poll indicates Udall has just a 9 point lead over Gardner when it comes to the support of women voters. That’s not a good number for the Democrat, considering that the same poll shows Gardner’s lead among men is 19 points.

“If that’s the case come Nov. 4, then Udall is toast,” said Eric Sondermann, an independent political analyst.

Sondermann said Bennet needed every bit of the double-digit support he got from women four years ago and that if Udall cannot match Bennet’s performance, it’s going to be a long night for the incumbent.

Sondermann also points out that Udall is seeking reelection during a political climate that does not appear to favor Democrats this cycle. President Barack Obama’s approval ratings are underwater and the consensus seems to be that Republicans will pick up seats in Congress this year.

But Republicans in Congress have even worse approval numbers than the president. And Democrats have done well in Colorado election over the last several years.

Sondermann said the Udall campaign must get Democrats to vote at a time when they may not feel so enthusiastic about doing so.

“That’s their salvation, probably their only salvation is that (the Udall campaign) is able to ramp-up Democratic intensity beyond what it seems now,” Sondermann said.

That’s exactly what the Udall campaign is trying to do, as evidenced by expected visits to the state this week from First Lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Harris said the ground game Udall has in place is even better than the one Bennet had four years ago.

Udall has 25 campaign field offices and more than 100 field officers, compared to Bennet’s 13 and 30 in 2010, according to Harris.

Harris also believes that recent changes to state election law will aid Udall’s efforts. Last year, the Democratcontrolled Legislature passed sweeping changes to the election system that included the creation of same-day voter registration and the mandate that ballots be mailed to every registered voter.

“It is universally accepted that if everyone voted, (Democrats) would win in a landslide,” Harris said. “The tricky part is turnout.”

But Republicans say they are not worried about this year’s all-mail ballot election. They cite voting statistics from 2012 that showed 85 percent of ballots that were cast that year came in before Election Day any way.

“Those ballots will be landing in our voters’ boxes, just like the Democrats,” Loftus said.

from city officials and from park neighbors like Jim Riggs.

“Everyone wanted to keep the land a park,” Riggs said. “We met with a lot of officials and attended a lot of meetings. It was all worth it because we have a park we can be proud of.”

Young people from the neighborhood also stepped up to help. For example, Luke McKee told the dedication audience that he wrote a letter to Greater Outdoor Colorado seeking a grant for the Duncan Park project.

“We did a lot of work to keep our park and I am happy to see the effort was worth it. I feel I helped us get a Duncan Park that is a legacy for the future,” the 13-year-old said. “I am excited to see all the new facilities in our park. Now, I hope everyone will respect the park and help keep it clean.”

The dedication speakers recognized the work of the crews of American Civil Constructors.

“The project was about what was expected except we ran into some unexpected things underground,” said Jim Overlin, a representative from the company. “We found buried concrete and some inactive utility pipes that even the city didn’t know were there.”

Effort promotes safe driving for teens Parent involvement, progressive skills emphasized

By Christy Steadman csteadman@colorado communitymedia.com

While Oct. 19-25 is national Teen Driver Safety Week, experts say every week should be dedicated to making better drivers out of young people.

“We’re working with teen drivers all the time,” said Ben Baron, owner of DriveSafe Driving School, which has several locations across the Denver metro area, including one in Highlands Ranch. “All 52 weeks are Teen Driver Safety Week.”

A Colorado Department of Transportation news release states that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teenagers. In 2012, 859 teen drivers died across the nation in crashes.

For the second year in a row, CDOT is teaming up with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to promote the “5 to Drive” campaign during Teen Driver Safety Week.

Only about 25 percent of parents have serious talks with their children about safe driving, the CDOT news release states. The “5 to Drive” effort is designed to help parents talk to their teens about the issue.

“Teens might be gaining some independence (but) they still need rules and restrictions, and believe it or not, parents,” said Darrell Lingk, director of the Office of Transportation Safety at CDOT. “They’ll listen to you.”

DriveSafe schools also emphasize the importance for parents to be involved with their teen’s driving education.

“It’s about developing a skill,” Baron said. “It’s important for parents not to forget that for a new driver, driving is a new skill.”

The “5 to Drive” campaign addresses the “five most dangerous and deadly behaviors for teen drivers,” the CDOT release states.

There are five important rules addressing these behaviors:

• No drinking and driving.

• Wear you seat belt.

• No texting or talking on the cell phone while driving.

• Don’t speed.

• No more than one passenger at a time.

Following these rules while driving is “good advice for all drivers, not just teens,” Baron said, with the exception of not having more than one passenger at a time for experienced, adult drivers.

“Ultimately, it’s distracted driving that causes accidents,” he said.

Distracted driving is not limited to what is listed in the “5 to Drive” campaign, Baron said, and can include everything from changing the radio station to putting on make-up in the car.

As well as physical distractions, there are mental distractions a person can encounter while driving, Baron said. Things a person thinks about — something negative that happened at school or work, or being extremely happy about something — are mental distractions.

“Most adults have been driving for so long that they can factor that in,” Baron said, but the “ups and downs” that teens experience on a daily basis can create a lot of distractions.

The CDOT news release states that “texting and driving has become a national epidemic, and teens are the worst offenders.”

It’s not only unsafe, but in Colorado, all cell phone use — talking, texting, surfing the web — is illegal for those under 18 years old while driving. Texting behind the wheel is also against the law for adults, who are allowed to talk and drive.

According to distraction.gov, texting involves manual, visual and cognitive distraction simultaneously. A person’s eyes, on average, are taken off the road for about five seconds while texting.

“At 55 mph, that’s like driving the length of an entire football field, blindfolded,” the website states.

DriveSafe schools focus on starting slow — most students begin their driving education in the classroom, Baron said — and building skills progressively.

“You can learn to pass a test, but that (alone) doesn’t make you a safe driver,”

A student driver practices driving at the Highlands Ranch DriveSafe Driving School. Teen Driver Safety Week is recognized nationally Oct. 19-25. Photo by Christy Steadman Baron said. “It just means you know the rules.”

In urban areas, a teenager must have six hours driving experience with an instructor before they can earn their driver’s license, Baron said.

At DriveSafe, students receive three two-hour drives, said DriveSafe Behind the Wheel instructor Kevin Knight. The drives are done on different routes and areas.

Students start off by practicing in a parking lot, emphasizing the importance of checking mirrors and using seat belts.

Then, students will get some highway or busy street practice and experience driving downtown on one-way streets and awareness of pedestrians. The third lesson will usually entail some mountain driving, Knight said.

“They learn proper, safe habits that they will use for the rest of their life,” he said.

The Graduated Driver Licensing laws “allow young drivers to safely gain driving experience before obtaining full driving privileges,” states the Governors Highway Safety Association on Colorado laws.

Generally, three stages are followed: the learner stage, which is supervised driving, cumulative with a driving test; the intermediate stage, which limits unsupervised

driving in high-risk situations; and the fullprivilege stage, which is when a standard driver’s license is earned.

In order to receive a driver’s license, a teen is required to have 50 hours logged driving experience, Baron said, which is gained in the learner stage.

But he believes 50 hours is the “bare minimum.”

“You can’t really produce a good driver,” he said. “It takes 100 hours or more.”

While still too high, the number of teen deaths from car accidents is improving compared to 15 years ago, Baron said.

“Many factors have contributed to safer drivers,” he said, “despite there being more drivers on the road.”

Safer vehicle manufacturing, better driving education laws and higher standards for driving instruction all play a part in creating safer drivers, he said.

Required comprehensive driver’s education courses teach teens the minimum standards to know how to safely operate a motor vehicle, Baron said. Parents should also take their teen’s driving education very seriously.

“Everybody benefits,” he said. “All of society benefits because there’s safer drivers on the road.”
