Deputy justified in shooting, DA’s office says in review

MY NAME IS

Bradley Proulx encountered armed suspect on side of County Line Road in May

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Rip Hobson was Littleton’s police chief during a period of explosive population growth.

RIP HOBSON

Retired police chief, former paratrooper Former chief I was the chief of the Littleton Police Department. My family moved here in 1950. I went to work for the Littleton Police Department on April 22, 1959. At that time, the police department was very small. Four patrolmen, three sergeants and a chief. I was there 25 years — I retired in 1984.

The city exploded in those years after Martin Marietta moved in.

When I retired 25 years later, the department had 70 people.

Of course, he (owned) the Littleton Independent. His house was down at the end of Main Street — that’s where he grew up. Our police department was one little

room in the basement of Town Hall.

I was a paratrooper in the 11th Airborne Division. I was in from 1953-56. I never left the states.

I was blessed — when I joined, the Korean War was going on. I went down and volunteered for the paratroops, and while I was in basic training, the fighting ended, so our division never went overseas.

A Douglas County sheriff ’s deputy was justified in shooting a man who came at him with an assault rifle after the deputy stopped to assist with a disabled car in May, according to a review of the incident by the district attorney’s office.

The report was issued Aug. 11 by the 18th Judicial District’s Critical Response Team, which investigates officer-involved shootings.

Here’s what the report says happened after deputy Bradley Proulx spotted an SUV apparently disabled on the side of County Line Road near Santa Fe Drive on the southern edge of Littleton on May 12: A woman in the SUV, a white GMC Yukon, told Proulx that they didn’t need assistance because someone was on the way to pick them up. Proulx told the occupants, a man and two women, that he’d stick around until their ride arrived. A person in a Honda soon arrived and took

ASPEN GROVE ADDS MURAL

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema at Aspen Grove in Littleton is freshly adorned with a towering mural by Denver artist Tracy Weil. The mural is called “Kebler Pass,” which Weil says is inspired by a gargantuan aspen grove on the eponymous mountainside. “My style is sort of whimsical and playful,” said Weil, who is the co-founder of the RiNo Arts District. “This brings art to Aspen Grove, which brings energy.

Hopefully it draws people in.”

In a dramatic exchange captured on the deputy’s body camera and posted to YouTube, Proulx approached the car to offer to push it further off the road with his patrol vehicle. As Proulx approached the driver’s side of the vehicle, RivasMaestas exited the vehicle and lunged at Proulx with an AR-15 assault rifle, barrel up, the report says.

Proulx fired a shot that hit Rivas-Maestas in the upper right arm, then another that hit the open door of the SUV. RivasMaestas then ran around to the front of the SUV and fell to his knees.

Investigators later found that the rifle was unloaded and had a cable lock on the trigger.

The Critical Response Team found that Proulx was justified in shooting RivasMaestas, as Proulx “reasonably believed unlawful physical and deadly force was about to be applied upon him,” the report states.

Rivas-Maestas — who was treated at a local hospital — was charged with first-degree assault of a peace officer, a felony. He has a court hearing scheduled for Aug. 17 at the Douglas County Justice Center in Castle Rock.

Community nonprofit helps kids in need with free clothes IFCS fights homelessness, poverty with ‘hand up, not handout’ approach

HOW IFCS HELPS: From September 2015 to August 2016, the most recent numbers, IFCS gave out 123,858 meals, provided services to 12,431 family members and worked with 3,593 volunteers.

Services include: • Food pantry

Should I cast people out in my life or put myself in peril to help them?

That’s the decision some area residents increasingly have had to make lately, said Todd McPherson, a leader with Integrated Family Community Services, a nonprofit located just west of Englewood that supports financially struggling residents and families.

“It’s becoming more and more popular, people putting themselves in a situation of poverty to take care of kids” that aren’t their own, said McPherson, whose organization helps people in Centennial, Englewood, Glendale, Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan and unincorporated Arapahoe County — all the way to Bennett.

When people have to make those tough decisions, or drop a job to take care of someone in their life, they can end up needing the services of IFCS, said McPherson, director of development.

“Seventy-six percent of clients are single mothers,” McPherson said. “We do have single fathers, seniors who

The organization, which became a state-recognized nonprofit in 1968, offers free food, rent and mortgage support, temporary housing assistance, school supplies, clothes and other programs to low-income individuals

and families. IFCS gave out backpacks and supplies like markers, books and glue sticks from Aug. 2-18 — an annual program that had people lining up outside its building at 6:30 a.m. The program also gives students in grades K-8 who registered for it in May-June a new first-day-of-school outfit. All K-12 students are eligible for backpacks and supplies.

Littleton council rejects storage facility on Santa Fe Members cite public opposition, poor fit with river corridor

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The proposal to build a self-storage facility south of the Denver Seminary on South Santa Fe Drive died at the Aug. 15 Littleton city council meeting, with members largely citing public outcry and a poor fit for their longterm goals for the river corridor.

City council voted 6-1 against a rezoning of 6505-6509 South Santa Fe Drive that would have allowed Cornerstone Storage to build a two-building, 800-unit self-storage facility on land currently owned by Gary Sutton, the former proprietor of Valley Feed & Supply in downtown Littleton. The proposal also would have expanded parking for Arapahoe Mental Health Center, on the south side of the property.

The failure of the rezoning proposal means a temporary reprieve for George and Donna Franz, the couple who have rented a home on the property since 1962 and looked after owner Gary Sutton’s mother until her death in 2002. The construction of storage units on the site would have necessitated tearing down their home.

“Thank goodness,” Donna said. “I’m glad to have a little more time. We need to solve our health issues before we try to tackle this again.”

Sutton put the 4-acre parcel up for sale two years ago, and Cornerstone Storage sought to purchase the property to build storage units and “garage condo” units, often used to store cars.

The sale was contingent on city council changing the site’s zoning to allow for industrial uses. With the rezoning proposal defeated, Cornerstone will back out of the sale.

Sutton said with Cornerstone out of the picture, he’ll put the property back on the market and look for another buyer. He said he received plenty of interest from prospective buyers last time the property was up for sale, but thought Cornerstone was the best fit.

City council largely disagreed.

“I’m not going to get into a debate about whether storage units are necessary,” said District 4 councilwoman Debbie Brinkman, in whose district the property sits. “My big concern is the location. I’m quite dismayed how this is considered encouraging more creative and effective use of land.”

Brinkman said as a member of the South Platte Working Group, she has strived to make the river corridor attractive and engaging, and felt the storage unit proposal did little toward that goal.

Storage units are out of sync with the city’s plan for the river, said District 1 Councilmember Bill Hopping.

“For the last 20-odd years we’ve been trying to reclaim the river, avoid industrial uses along it, and activate

it with quality of life and recreational assets, so we can enjoy that gift we’ve been given,” Hopping said, citing Reynold’s Landing, Breckenridge Brewery and Hudson Gardens as examples of positive assets on the corridor.

“People want recreation, retail, entertainment and housing,” Hopping said. “Nothing in our plans encourages storage units.”

At-large Councilmember Peggy Cole said she received 38 emails about the proposal — all opposed.

The sole vote in favor of the rezoning proposal came from at-large Councilmember Doug Clark, who said the storage units were a low-impact use of the space.

“It’s probably one of the lowest traffic uses and people uses you can have next to the river,” Clark said. “You don’t have to worry about pets getting out. You don’t have to worry about large numbers of cars and people coming in.”

Clark said the units, topping out at 51 feet on the Santa Fe side, would be less visibly intrusive than had been suggested by some commenters in the public hearing.

“I think it’s possible to design storage units so that they’re disquised very well,” Clark said, whose “yes” vote was conditional on the project’s river-facing side being screened with evergreen trees. “I don’t know what you could put there and how you could design it to be less of an impact. The western half is one-story garages.

I went and looked at Breckenridge Brewery and that building is huge. So is Aspen Grove. I think we need to be consistent.”

The Franzes, whose little bungalow sits on the property’s east end, have been house-hunting since being told of the looming sale, with little luck.

Donna said while the temporary reprieve is welcome news, she’s not sure what the future holds.

“We’ve been sitting in limbo because housing is so hard to find,” Donna said. “Gosh, now they’re putting on the TV that housing is so short they want people to open their homes to the elderly and double up. That’s scary.”

hat do square dancers, Venetian canal boats, and soap box derby racers have in common? They all rolled down Main Street in Littleton for the annual Western Welcome Week Grand Parade.

Crowds thronged the streets on Aug. 19 as the nearly twohour parade went by, filling Main Street with antique tractors and cars, marching bands from as far away as Pueblo and the boom of black powder rifles.

“It’s a hometown tradition,” said Steve Smith, better known as Cowboy Steve, who played cowboy songs from the rear of a float. “You can’t live without it — that’s America. I’ve been doing it well over 20 years.”

This year’s theme was a thank you to men and women in uniform, and parade marshals were retired Navy SEAL Jesse Clay, Littleton Police officer Brent Kieffer and his retired K-9 partner Sabor, and Littleton Fire Rescue firefighter Tiffany Longmire.

The weather was gorgeous, if not a little hot for the hundreds of high school kids in full marching regalia.

“You see those poor marching band kids in those uniforms, but they just go for it and have a good time,” Western Welcome Week director Cindy Hathaway said. “It was a beautiful day for a parade.”

RiverPointe Swing Dance offers classic good time Western Welcome Week event brings dancers out to floor

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Friendly conversation blended with the music under the tent at the Aug. 15 RiverPointe Swing Dance, an event that has been a part of the Western Welcome activities for 21 years.

People began arriving early at RiverPointe Senior Living at 5225 S. Prince St. in Littleton. Many took seats inside the tent as the band tuned up while others purchased food items or visited the beverage concession and took seats at the tables set up just outside the tent entrance.

Things got rolling as the band played a wide variety of music ranging from big band tunes of the 1940s to country-western numbers. The dancers were few at first but more couples moved out onto the floor with each musical number played.

Ruby Levindosky said she was there to listen to the music.

“I never liked to dance and still don’t, but I love listening to music,” the 88-year-old said. “For the last five years my daughter has brought me so I could just sit and enjoy the music. I think I like it because a lot of the songs they are playing are songs I grew up hearing. It is great music.”

The music also drew couples out on the dance floor.

Joe Gonzalez and Linda McDaniel displayed their dancing skills to most of the songs.

Music appealed to a number of couples who moved about the floor during the Aug. 15 RiverPointe Swing Dance that is an annual Western Welcome Week event. Several hundred men, women and children attended the event either to dance or just to spend the evening enjoying the live music.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS “We met in a dance class about six months age,” McDaniel said. “I wasn’t fond of dancing but Joe was. It is fun to get out and dance together tonight.”

Not far away Jim and Irmy Aurand moved gracefully around the floor.

“We used to go dancing a lot,” Irmy said. “I have Parkinson’s disease and usually I am just trying to get around with a cane. I left the cane on the table tonight so we could dance tonight. It is the first time we have danced in two years and it feels wonderful.”

This is the first year Zing, the Great Big Band provided the music for the swing dance.

“The band began in 1989

when some of those who formed the group took a big band class through what became Colorado Free University,” said flutist Barbara Lynch. “Members of the class actually started two bands but they eventually combined as Zing.”

She said there are about 20 members of the band, counting the vocalists.

“We are all people who love to play music,” she said. “The Mile Hi American GI Forum in Denver has been great and we practice there once a week if we don’t have a play date.”

She said the band will be performing at the Joyful Ballroom in Westminster on Sept. 10, which is Grandparents Day.

Meteor party draws a crowd, but few shooting stars

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A hundred or so people gathered in South Platte Park to watch for meteors. DAVID GILBERT

The sky wasn’t exactly falling, but the hundred or so people gathered around Cooley Lake at South Platte Park to watch the Perseid meteor shower on Aug. 12 didn’t seem to mind.

Sparks flitted into the sky from a pair of campfires, and families sat roasting marshmallows beneath the stars. Silhouettes in lawn chairs and on blankets gazed westward, peering into the darkness over the foothills watching for meteors, composed of bits of material left behind in the

orbit of the Swift-Tuttle comet.

Every August the earth plows through the comet’s path, and debris impacts our atmosphere, forming glorious shooting stars. The peak of the shower came in the wee hours of the following morning, and attendees spotted only a handful of meteors before the party broke up around 10 p.m.

The Perseid Meteor Party was hosted by South Suburban Parks and Recreation District, in a particularly dark-sky area of the park normally closed to visitors.

The lucky hundred in attendance beat out over 5,000 who expressed interest on Facebook.

Romano’s celebrates 50 years in Littleton Classic Italian restaurant on Windermere still uses mom and dad’s recipes

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Few things in life stay the same.

But for 50 years, Romano’s Italian Restaurant has been serving up old-fashioned Italian food using the same recipes, in the same cozy dining room.

The menu and the dining room are a little bigger than when Neil and Ellie Romano started the place in 1967, but for generations of area residents, Romano’s, at 5666 S. Windermere St. in Littleton, is synonymous with great food, good memories, and celebration.

Sue, Nick and John Romano, Neil and Ellie’s kids, still run the joint, gracing regulars and newcomers alike with Italian hospitality and a basket of bread with softened butter. Collages of family photos and lush paintings of the Old Country adorn the warm wood-paneled walls, and the aroma of simmering garlic wafts from the kitchen.

“We feel like we’re home for a lot of people,” said John Romano.

“When they come home after college, they want to come here. To be part of the Littleton community for such a long time, and know that we’re part of people’s memories, it’s humbling. It’s overwhelming sometimes.”

The Romano’s story goes back to Neil’s childhood in Manhattan’s Little Italy, where his mother ran a restaurant called the Sugar Bowl, and his father ran a fruit stand. One day in the late 1950s Neil’s cousins invited him to join them in heading to Colorado, and Neil threw a suitcase together and hopped in the car west.

He landed with relatives in Denver’s north-side Italian neighborhood, and soon was working for the family restaurant in Greeley.

After hopping around to a few different restaurants, and marrying Ellie along the way, the couple grew tired of working for others and bought a little pizza joint in Littleton.

Sue, who was in first grade when the restaurant opened, remembered that on their first day, Neil was worried because there was no money in the till to make change with.

“They were literally down to their last dollar,” Sue said.

The restaurant was tiny then, but over time the Romanos slowly acquired more space in the building.

It wasn’t long before Romano’s grew into a revered Littleton institution.

The Romanos experimented with other locations over the years,

including restaurants in Black Hawk, Highlands Ranch, and on Arapahoe Road. The family found that the other locations stretched them too thin, and the last of the other locations closed in 2013.

“We’re done with that,” Sue said.

“People always tell us we ought to open one in Golden or something, and we say no thanks, we’re settled here.”

The menu still has all the old favorites that Neil and Ellie started with, but their kids have expanded

it over the years. Sue said eggplant parmesan is a favorite.

“Lots of people say they hate eggplant, but then they try ours and love it.”

John said they’ll probably continue to tweak the menu, but it’s a game of careful addition.

“We’ve added numerous things over the years,” John said. “If you don’t add things, customers get bored. But the foundations don’t change. The meatballs, the sauce, the dough, the dressings and

sauces — all the same as mom and dad used to make.”

The consistency means a lot to Romano’s regulars, like Dyani Galligan, who was celebrating the first day back in school with her kids Saoirse and Tiernan on a recent night.

“I’ve been coming here for 30 years,” Dyani said, with the kind of easy laugh that comes after a glass or two of red wine. “When I was in high school everybody I knew worked at Romano’s. Everybody who works here is like family.”

Ellie passed away in 2012, and Neil followed her 15 months later.

Neil and Ellie had eight granddaughters, and John and Sue feel confident that one or more of them will take over Romano’s someday — though they hope that day is still a ways off.

“We keep saying we’ll never retire,” Sue said. “Our dad never retired until he was physically not able to come in anymore. He would still come in to stir the sauce and check the dough. We hope mom and dad are looking down on us and smiling on us as we take it forward into the next 50 years.”

ACC hosts solar eclipse party Hundreds gather on lawn to watch historic event

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Olivia Stewart, left, and Genesis Hathaway were scheduled to start their classes today, but spent the day staring at the sun instead.

PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT

The eclipse projected onto a sheet of paper.

The multitudes aimed eclipse glasses skyward on ACC’s lawn.

It was the most anticipated show of the summer.

For a few brief moments Aug. 21, the sky dimmed, the warm summer day took on a chill, and birds ceased to fly.

The moon passed before the sun, and on the west lawn of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, the skywardgazing throngs were treated to a sight unlikely to repeat in these parts for hundreds of years.

Many Colorado folks hitched up and headed north to the wilds of Wyoming, where the moon fully eclipsed the sun, known as “totality.”

The folks left behind in the Denver area — many scared off notions of making the northward trek by predictions of a traffic jam of historic proportions — saw 92 percent of the sun’s surface covered, still enough to draw hundreds of skywatchers to ACC to see

the Great American Eclipse.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event,” said Clare Lagrough, who was focusing the image of the eclipse on a paper plate with a hole poked in a piece of tinfoil. “You can’t travel all around the world to see this. If it happens to be where you’re living, that’s a gift.”

Students and faculty manned stations with Sunspotter projectors, which reflected the image of the eclipse onto sheets of paper.

Sunspots — cool, dark spots on the sun’s surface — were clearly visible.

Aug. 21 was the first day of classes at ACC, but few had their nose in a textbook.

“It’s something to share in,” ACC president Diana Doyle said. “No matter what your interests are, where you come from, this is something that brings everybody together because of how incredibly unusual it is. It’s a chance for people from all walks of life to come together and share something bigger than they are.“

‘I am not your typical Republican’ Elizabeth businessman, former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez runs for governor

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A crowded race to become Colorado’s next governor includes former Parker Mayor Greg Lopez.

Lopez, 53, was elected at the age of 27, serving from 1992-96, and is proud of the fact he was the first Hispanic candidate to hold the position.

Following his term as mayor, Lopez served as district director of Colorado’s Small Business Administration from 2008-14. In 2016, he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate.

Lopez The Republican now lives in Elizabeth, owning and operating a consulting business as well as a bar and restaurant in Aurora that he runs with his son.

More than 20 candidates are seeking to replace term-limited Democrat John Hickenlooper in the November 2018 election. On the Republican side, notable candidates include District Attorney George Brauchler, of Parker; businessman Victor Mitchell, of Castle Rock; and Mitt Romney’s nephew, Doug Robinson, of Centennial. On the Democratic side, the most recognizable names

create programs by which people will be able to increase their abilities, increase their skill sets and have dignity knowing they have a job.

so far are Congressman Jared Polis, of Boulder; former State Treasurer Cary Kennedy, of Denver; and former state Sen. Mike Johnston, also of Denver.

Pundits are projecting this will be the costliest campaign in Colorado history. How will that affect your campaign?

We’re reaching a point where only the wealthy or those who can fund their own campaigns are the ones that are going to find themselves in elected office at the highest levels. For me it goes beyond that. The next governor has to win the county of Denver and has to win Boulder. If you don’t win those two counties, it doesn’t matter how much money you spend, you’re not going to be the next governor of Colorado...

I’m the only candidate that can go into the City and County of Denver and garner the support of the minority community.

What did you do as mayor of Parker that makes you a good choice for governor?

I’m the one that made all of the decisions to build the Parker Rec Center. The council was split, so I was fortunate enough to make all of the decisions to break the ties.

The other (accomplishment) I am most proud of was an annexation, it was called the Jacobson property… The council at the time was very adamant that they were going to authorize it or approve it. They forgot that I had veto power.

So I vetoed the project, and what happened was the applicant decided to take it to the ballot…

The results were three to one in my favor… That is the one time I can honestly say that I had my finger on the pulse of the community and I did exactly what their wishes were.

Both major parties are viewed unfavorably in recent polls and historically, the party that lost the White House tends to do better in midterm elections. Do you think party politics will play a role in this race?

It may matter for the other candidates, but it won’t matter for me because, as you look at me, just the visuals, I am not your typical Republican…

It’s important for me to always understand that I’m here to do what’s in the best interest of the state, not what’s in the best interest of the party. I don’t care if a solution comes from a Republican or a Democrat or an unaffiliated, I’m interested in solving problems.

What do you think is the biggest issue in the campaign?

The biggest challenge that Colorado faces is not what everybody else talks about — it’s not transportation. The biggest challenge is that we have 1.4 million people receiving coverage for medical care under Medicaid, and the state needs to do more to allow these individuals to provide for their families…

What I think we need to do is partner with local jurisdictions, chambers of commerce, and

Want to understand education? Try being a teacher — that’ll learn you QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

T

hree little words — “back to school” — have the impact of hundreds, including, “Oh, no.”

I think I was supposed to dread it, but inwardly I looked forward to strapping on my button-down shirts and khakis and returning to the classroom.

My educational path was a lesson in American geography. I attended eight schools in four states. My father was either transferred or promoted. At least, that’s what he said.

Maybe we were one step ahead of the feds.

A new school year always meant my mother and father would give me a couple of new shirts, and something else: a three-ring binder with a blank, blue canvas cover.

Budding artists will draw or paint on anything that is blank. My new binder was my annual opportunity to show off.

Late summers were spent considering the new school year’s drawing. I understood that pencil drawings smeared, and markers didn’t exist. That left me with ball-point pens.

The majority of my drawings featured animals, like wolverines and bruins.

The animals didn’t stop there: I studied with Miss Bird and Mrs. Hare. Miss Bird was 100 years old (that’s what we all thought), and a caricature of mean-natured, elderly schoolmarm.

Mrs. Hare was as meek as her name. She was in her first year of teaching, and in her

first year of marriage. Double jeopardy. I hope she was more successful at home.

Back then, schools provided just about everything we needed — except for binders and Pee Chees.

Things have changed.

One Jefferson County school asked every student to bring five dozen pencils, because of the school’s low supply.

Costs overall have rocketed. One article (The Denver Post) stated, “In the last decade, the price of supplies and extracurricular activities increased by 88 percent for elementary school students, 81 percent for middle SEE SMITH, P13

he contrarian point of view here could have been “Enabling Meanness,” but really, who really wants to focus on being mean instead of being kind anyway? I guess perhaps we can accept the fact that some people have a mean streak, or they are mean-spirited, or maybe they have just become a self-proclaimed meanie over time.

As I wrote this column the question I found myself asking was: Why do some folks choose to be mean instead of being kind? Why do some people look so hard for the bad that they completely miss the

smallest bit of good and kindness right under their noses? Is it because we have fostered a culture of meanness at home or at work? Do we enable and permit people to be mean to us and to others for the sake of maintaining a very unhealthy relationship?

Or have we lost our nerve and just accept any behavior so we don’t rock the boat, even if it is mean behavior?

Did senator learn lessons?

Sen. Cory Gardner is chair of the reelection committee for GOP senators, so of course he’d meet with the president of the Colorado Business Roundtable and left Thursday for a fundraiser with McConnell.

So much for Colorado voters.He meets with “safe constituents” not The Front Range. He seems to forget that Colorado voted for Clinton and is a “purple state” with a bipartisan congressional delegation.

I attended his Lakewood town hall and it was no rowdier than those held when the Affordable Care Act was being debated. He refused to directly answer any questions. The only comment everyone agreed on was his Charlottesville statement. He just spouted tired GOP policy.

On health care, he only needed to say he was ready to work on a repair of the ACA with democrats in a bipartisan manner. He never answered a statement from a rural doctor about the impact of repealing the ACA. When asked about Trump’s solo ability to order a nuclear attack against North Korea, he could have said that it would not happen without a declaration of war voted on by Congress. Instead he said “he would allow the commander in chief to act like the commander in chief.” What does that mean?

On the environment, he only talked about Pruitt’s visit and nothing about how climate change is already effecting us all.

I hope Gardner learned the importance of meeting with all constituents and not just those who will give him money or believe as he does and will have more live town halls.

We will be watching and remember when he runs for re-election in 2020.

kindness. You see, we get to choose, don’t we? Sometimes we have to accept sadness just like sometimes we know that bad things do happen to even the best of people. Yet even with that said, we never have to accept being treated meanly by anyone, especially when we can choose to empower kindness and receive kindness.

Kindness is and should be a two-way street. Most times we do get back what we give out, not 100 percent of the time, but my experience tells me most times. When we say hello, we usually get a hello back. When we smile, most times we get a smile back. When we are courteous to others we are typically greeted with courtesy in return.

Act brings needed support There are 244,000 people caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.

As someone who has served in this role, I am proud to support the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act. Recently reintroduced in Congress, and supported by the Alzheimer’s Association, PCHETA (S. 693 /H.R. 1676) would ensure America has an adequate, well-trained palliative care and hospice workforce through workforce training, education and awareness, and enhanced research.

These services are critical services for persons in the advanced stages

am glad it is not on YouTube. I think I said, “I am the walrus. Goo goo goo joob,” and dismissed them.

Much later on in my career, I walked around the classroom on opening day with a sense of command and a sense of humor.

I’d tell them I learned to draw in “Pencil-vania,” and wait for the laughter to die down.

I’d tell them that Van Gogh had a good ear for music.

When I was in high school, art classes were perceived as a ver-

sion of recess. However, college art classes are far from it (or should be) and that often surprised my incoming freshmen.

I enjoyed seeing their eyes widen when I handed them the nine-page syllabus.

I heard gulps.

Do I miss teaching? Yes and no.

Yes, because I worked with some very talented, intelligent, involved, and hard-working artists and scholars.

No, because I worked with the op-

posite, and too many students who were grade-driven and often gradeobsessed.

Increasingly, faculty were expected to do a hill of accountability paperwork.

And not only that, most collegelevel drawing students are a little sketchy.

where we try our best to be polite and kind only to be met with the unpleasantness and wrath of someone who chose to be mean that day.

And I don’t know about you, but one of my very favorite things to observe is watching an interaction between two people where one person is berating the other person, thinking that a tone of anger and rising voice will get them what they want. And yet the other person remains calm, confident, helpful and rooted in kindness. Two people, same conversation or interaction, and yet one chooses to be mean while the others chooses kindness.

Which one are you? Which one do you want to be?

Kindness is a behavior. Kindness is an attitude. Kindness is a choice. Kindness is all around us if we just look for it and are open to receiving it.

One of my favorite quotes when it comes to kindness is this one by Wil-

liam Penn, “I expect to pass through this life but once. If, therefore, there may be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I may do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.”

How about you? Does it depend on the day or even the moment if you choose kindness or is kindness part of your everyday being? Either way

I would love to hear your kindness story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can remember that kindness is a choice, it really will be a better than good week.

of Alzheimer’s. In fact, a number of studies have concluded that hospitalization is not recommended for individuals with advanced dementia given the life expectancy of the individual, the significant burdens of aggressive treatment and the difficulty of pain management for those who cannot communicate in the hospital setting.

PCHETA will help ensure that the millions of Americans living with Alzheimer’s have access to quality care and end-of-life services, making a devastating diagnosis slightly more manageable.

Please join me in asking Sen. Gardner to support PCHETA and the 69,000 Coloradans living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Kerrick, 40, who has stayed in an Englewood motel since February, signed up for services on that hot afternoon.

She receives federal disability assistance, but it’s not enough, she said.

‘A lifelong training’

Kids as young as 5 years old attend a Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu class, where they learn discipline and self defense. The young students fill out cards before each class to track their progress and receive colored belts when they hit a milestone in the program. “To keep kids involved,” said studio owner Robert Goodloe, “they need to see progression.”

Studios across Denver metro area teach range of martial arts

icole Gossett’s 9-year-old son has been practicing karate at ATA Family Martial Arts in Highlands Ranch for the past year. He has become a positive influence for the “not very athletic family,” Gossett said.

“Watching him be so disciplined practicing at home and in the studio,” Gossett said, “we all have done a lot more sit-ups and squats and push-ups in the last year.”

Adults practice self defense moves at a Gracie Barra Centennial JiuJitsu class, held at 4181 E. County Line Road. The month-long program teaches discipline and builds strength.

Karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, taekwondo, muay thai, kickboxing — the list of martial arts forms goes on.

Though the names are distinctive, their styles all have something in common: self-defense.

According to Black Belt Magazine, martial arts date back to 2600 B.C. in China.

Emperors, troops and tribesmen used the defensive movements in battle. The practice evolved across the globe and many popular styles have made their way into fitness gyms and studios across the U.S. Robert Goodloe, owner of Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, was studying for his master’s degree in business administration at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, 10 years ago when he first tried a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class.

“I started training at the studio and I never left,” said Goodloe, a Highlands Ranch resident. He opened the second Gracie Barra studio in Colorado — the first is in Colorado Springs — at 4181 E. County Line Road in July.

SOME POPULAR MARTIAL ARTS A quick Google search reveals that dozens of martial arts studios can be found throughout the Denver metro area. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of martial arts being taught in the area: Taekwondo A Korean martial art focused on punches, blocks, strikes and kicks. The style builds character and self-discipline. It is practiced around the world and is an Olympic sport.

Karate A Japanese martial art based on fighting techniques, including punches, hand and elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks. One of the most practiced martial arts in the U.S., the style embeds self-discipline and strong character.

Judo A Japanese martial art that uses throwing and grappling

techniques instead of strikes and kicks. Participants throw or trip their competitor to get them on their back.

Judo also focuses on mental discipline.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu A Brazilian martial art focused on self-defense. The style teaches a smaller person how to defend himself or herself against a larger opponent and how to escape from an opponent.

Muay thai A martial arts style from Thailand that is similar to kickboxing — a stand-up sport practiced with gloves — but includes elbow and knee strikes.

Retirement community residents run own radio station For past four years, seniors provide in-house music and programs

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen seniors at Holly Creek Retirement Community wake up, they rise to the sound of words from a chaplain and “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

In the afternoons, they listen to oldies and big-band music, and two days a week, they tune in to interviews with their fellow community members that delve into their life stories. In evenings, they hear a closing prayer and the military song “Taps,” and the radio station signs off for the day.

But they’re not listening to a golden oldies station. They’re listening to Holly Creek Radio, an entirely inhouse station run by residents, for residents.

“It’s my wife’s fault,” said Dick Gustafson, a former radio DJ who has lived at Holly Creek since 2013. “I was asked what my hobbies were” when I moved here. “Wendy interrupted and said, `He’s interested in radio.’ ” Gustafson, 82, worked for a radio station in Vail from 1972 to about 1980 and volunteered for a station called Radio Free Minturn from about 2007 to when he arrived at the senior living community in Centennial.

He brought some equipment he owned when he moved — microphones, a mixing board, speakers — and an anonymous donation provided the rest. Initially, an effort in part to broadcast community announcements to visually impaired residents, HCRK became a full-fledged radio station as more people joined in with no radio experience at all. It’s one of the only stations run by a retirement community in the nation.

“Since Aug. 12, 2013, that’s the day we broke ground,” Gustafson said.

Jayne Keller, Holly Creek’s executive director, had the idea to have music and announcements for those who struggle with sight. There are about 18 residents who are in some stage of

From left, Dick Gustafson, 82; Dan Parker, 86; Linda Platte, in her 80s; and Bob Strong, who is in his 90s, in the radio room at Holly Creek Retirement Community Aug. 11. Gustafson, a former DJ for radio stations in Vail and Minturn, founded the radio station at Holly Creek, which is broadcast in-house to the residents of the community.

A logo for the Holly Creek Retirement Community radio station Aug. 11, which was made by a Holly Creek resident. The station is run by volunteers who live in the community. blindness, said Bob Strong, a volunteer for the station in his 90s.

The station plays a mix of country and western music, gospel, classical, oldies from the 1950s and further back — and of course, Glenn Miller, whose hit “Moonlight Serenade” serves as the station’s theme song. Programs include Broadway musicals, “Dick’s Big Band Show,” comedy and a show run by Keller.

Marty Lamm, an 84-year-old resident, runs a program called “Wander-

ings” with resident Priscilla Stenman, which features interviews with people who live in Holly Creek.

“We’ve interviewed all the people who were in the second World War, and other people who have lived here for over a year,” Lamm said. “And we’ve had some very interesting stories ... we take the interesting parts of their lives, such as if they were missionaries or in the (military) service — a lot of people have done a great deal of travel.”

Lamm and Stenman give the interviewees a recording of their interview, which also benefits their families when they pass away, Lamm said. Chuck Montera, a community relations official for Holly Creek, mentioned plans to potentially put the station’s programs on the Holly Creek website — hollycreekretirementcommunity.org — which would allow the general public to listen in.

“We’ve had 98 interviews over a three-year period,” said Lamm, who lived in Denver for 65 years and taught at a school in the city more than 50 years ago. There are “a million stories” at Holly Creek, Lamm said.

Unlike other volunteers, Gustafson got his start in radio a long time ago.

When asked why he got into radio, he said, “Oh, I had a good voice, and I wanted it on the air.”

Gustafson, an Eagle County commissioner from 1984-93 who lobbied in the Washington, D.C., area to eventually turn what is now the Eagle County Regional Airport into a commercial airport, runs HCRK with help from a supporting cast.

Dan Parker, an 86-year-old retired minister, runs the big-band music show with Gustafson and does the announcements for him on Tuesday — Parkinson’s disease has made speaking more difficult for Gustafson. But he still leads the team as manager, with Strong as his co-manager.

Under that leadership, the station has become a vibrant part of the community’s fabric.

“This is a program where residents take charge of their lifestyles through their own initiatives,” Montera said.

“They share their life experiences and talents with others for the greater good of the community.”

When asked what Holly Creek would be like without the station, Gustafson didn’t hesitate.

“I’d be out of here, man,” he said.

DEFENSE FROM PAGE 16

Benefits of martial arts are far reaching. From engraining a strong sense of discipline to strengthening muscles, the sport boosts mind and body, teachers and participants say.

Body In an evening class at Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, a small group of adults wearing white kimonos — a matching long sleeve shirt and pants worn with a colored belt to signify the level of experience — listen carefully to instructors before gently performing a series of grappling moves with a partner. Intertwined on the mat, they learn how to defend themselves.

Martial arts use quick movements that increase flexibility. Using chokes and holds, Brazilian jiu-jitsu was originally for a smaller inidividual to defend against and escape from a larger person. Taekwando emphasizes kicking. Karate focuses more on hand movements, including punching and knee and elbow strikes.

Although martial arts teach fighting movements, typically they do not encourage fighting.

“We teach how to use our body to defend ourselves,” said Irene Bowden, instructor of Shotokan Karate Colorado in Lone Tree. “A lot of people will come to train and learn how to kick and punch and they may never in their lifetime get in a fight.”

The Showticon karate style — referred to as an empty-hand method of

Kids as young as 5 years old attend a Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu class, where they learn discipline and self defense. The type of martial arts is offered to kids and adults at 4181 E. County Line Road.

COURTESY ROBERT GOODLOE teaching self defense without weapons — builds muscle strength, flexibility, stamina and makes participants feel good, said Bowden.

She started training with her sensei, or instructor, Gary Swain, more than 16 years ago to get in shape and learn self-defense. Karate has since become a “wonderful addiction,” Bowden said.

She teaches three classes at the Lone Tree Recreation Center: Shotokan Tigers for ages 5 to 7, Stars Special Needs for ages 6 and older, and Women’s SelfDefense for ages 13 and older.

Mind In a Gracie Barra Centennial JiuJitsu class, participants of all ages follow etiquette guidelines. They bow before getting on and off the mat. Talking is kept to a minimum. Uniforms are worn. Professors, or instructors, are treated with respect.

SPECIAL OFFER!

“I think people start to see the value of discipline,” Goodloe said. “It’s really a challenge to yourself. It improves your whole way of living.”

Martial arts have a strong focus on moral values, discipline and character, experts say. Participants can use the mental skills to excel in competitive martial arts, but also in other areas of life.

Gossett signed her son up more than a year ago to help shift his focus from distractions at school. The goaloriented nature of martial arts helped him, she said. At ATA Family Martial Arts, participants are tested for belts — which signify a level of experience — every two months.

“The discipline of martial arts was a huge component to give him structure,” Gossett said. “He sees the consequences of positive and negative actions.”

m Some studios offer family classes, n where parents can practice with their s children. One of those is Personal i Achievement Martial Arts, 3964 Young- p field Street, in Wheat Ridge. Having parents present increases kids’ focus, said founder Korey Stites. Instructors encourage better grades, respect, focus in and out of the classroom and leadership.

“It’s also something they can do together,” Stites said. “You’re actually participating and doing everything right alongside the kids.”

In martial arts, there is always room to grow, physically and mentally.

Karate has changed Bowden’s life dramatically, she said. The Realtor and mother of three calls the form of martial arts her passion.

“Martial arts in our view is considered a lifelong training,” Bowden said.

“It’s something that you learn to love.”

GARDNER FROM PAGE 8

a town hall, and I want to see what he has to say,” said Denver resident Amanda Mininger, before the town hall started. “He represents us, and he should be able to speak to us in person.”

Gardner faced questions and criticism from constituents on a variety of topics, ranging from relations with North Korea, Republicans’ efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, and his support of President Donald Trump.

One thing Gardner received unanimous support for was his condemnation of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists who incited violence in Virginia on Aug. 12, leaving one person dead and 19 injured.

“There is no moral equivalency

between the two sides,” Gardner said at the beginning of the town hall, referencing the white supremacists and their counter protesters.

“We have to fight racism and bigotry in our country. Any and all white supremacists should go back to their caves.”

Several attendees received standing ovations for asking questions about Gardner not supporting hate groups, but supporting a president who does not explicitly condemn them and has White House officials like Steve Bannon and Sebastian Gorka, who have been tied to white nationalist groups.

“I’m glad to see you giving real responses to questions, but how can you still support a president who puts people like that in power?” asked Denver resident Jonathan Rose.

In response, Gardner reiterated that hate groups are unacceptable,

but said it wasn’t his place to ask the president to remove members of his staff.

Many voiced concerns about cuts to Medicare and the price of insurance if the ACA were to be repealed.

One attendee was even ejected from the town hall because he wouldn’t stop screaming, “You’re taking our health care” over other peoples’ questions and Gardner’s answers.

But a couple conservative constituents also chided Gardner for his health care approach from the other side.

“I know the majority of people in this room are here to say the ACA should continue, but I want to remind you of who put you in your seat,” said one woman. “I want to know when you’re going to repeal and replace?”

Gardner also heard from constituents who wanted to ensure he would protect the state and world’s envi-

ronmental health and sustainability.

“We have an incredible outdoor legacy, and I want to do right for my children,” Gardner said. “I do believe the (Environmental Protection Agency) has overreached at times.

We shouldn’t be doing something if the cost outweighs the benefits.”

By the end of the hour-and-a-half town hall, the audience allowed Gardner to speak more completely, even if they didn’t like what they heard. And some issues weren’t brought up at all, like education.

“I wanted to ask what he was going to do to protect our Title I students,” said Angela Anderson, a Jeffco resident, referencing the many students who are on the free and reduced lunch program. “I also wanted to ask how we could work on educating our students about the damage that racism does to a society.

So many don’t understand racism exists in ways for all of us.”

“I always wanted to be a teacher,” Jacinda Bouton said. With a degree in instrumental and vocal music from Missouri State in Springfield, she was teaching music at George Washington High School in Denver. Parents of several of her students were members of the long-running (56 years) Denver Concert Band. “A group showed up and invited me to audition” when the band sought a new director, she said.

She ran a rehearsal and auditioned on two or three pieces. That was 20 years ago and the band celebrates her leadership this season.

Her instrument of choice is the clarinet, she said, but as a band director, one pretty much needs to know how to play all of them. She is excited to have clarinetist Jeremy Reynolds from the University of Denver’s Newman School of Music as soloist in the Lone Tree Symphony’s May 4 concert.

“They selected me,” she says happily, “and it’s been great — some of my best friends are Denver Concert Band members. They come from all walks of life: teachers, dentists, insurance

The 90-member Denver Concert Band surrounds director Jacinda Bouton, who celebrates her 20th year with the band this season. The first concert is “Western Winds” on Oct. 1.

COURTESY PHOTO BY DON CASPAR people, who learned an instrument and maybe put it down for 20 or 30 years … one can’t always play football, but you can always play an instrument. Our flutist is 90 years old and has been with the band for 50 years.”

When the Lone Tree Arts Center opened, Bouton was able to move the 90-member band there to enjoy the hall’s great acoustics.

Regarding programming: “A small music committee of band members meets and throws ideas out. They bring pieces I’ve never heard. We try for a theme…” Then Bouton decides the program.

She always attends the Midwest Band and Orchestra Convention in Chicago, especially to hear new music.

“Sonoran Desert” on this year’s Lone Tree Symphony program is one such work. “We need to play those.”

The Denver Concert Band’s season begins with “Western Winds” on Oct. 1, followed by “Harvests and Holidays” on Nov. 19. “Up and Away” will be Feb. 25 and “Spring Fever” on April 28.

Concerts are at 2 p.m. on Saturdays or Sundays.

Some band members also play in the “Show and Tell Band,” conducted

about mental illness IT’S OK TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS, MANY OF US DO. One in four Coloradans experience a mental illness each year. Mental illnesses are treatable health conditions, but people are still afraid to talk about them due to shame, misunderstanding, negative attitudes and fear of discrimination.

IT’S OK TO FEEL THE WAY YOU ARE FEELING. Mental illness is not imaginary. Mental illnesses are very real and very common. Mental illnesses cannot be willed away. They are medical conditions that do not define us.

IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP. Most mental illnesses can be treated effectively with medication, therapy, diet, exercise and support.

IT’S OK TO REACH OUT. If you think you know someone struggling with mental illness, what can you do? Talk. Listen. Replace awkward silence with questions and understanding.

S

occer matches are packed with one-on-one confrontations as players mark each other up and down the field.

Therefore, many practice sessions also involve drills with players going against another player to simulate game action.

“We try to create a competitive atmosphere with some technical work,” explained Cherry Creek coach Marcelo Curi. “This generally revolves with players working with and against each other to improve technique. We try and play some tactical soccer following, and yes, we many times compete for shootouts at the end.

“We want to create game conditions as much as possible, and even though some exercises involve limited players and touches on the ball, they all have value in their purpose.”

Senior Zach Tripp says Arapahoe coach Mark Hampshire lets his players select some practice drills.

“We play a lot of small side games so it’s a half field, some 6-v-6, sometimes we do 2-v-2 which is a lot of fun,” said Tripp. “We try our hardest to make it like a game. It’s not that much different. We try to push each other the

Official soccer practice started Aug. 12 and Arapahoe was one of six teams from the Colorado Community Media circulation area that were ranked in the preseason rankings compiled by CHSAANow.com.

Arapahoe was sixth in the Class 5A poll with Cherry Creek ninth and Ralston Valley 10th. D’Evelyn was

sixth in the preseason Class 4A poll with Standley Lake seventh. Jefferson Academy was second in Class 3A. All regular season matches must be completed by Oct. 21. First of three rounds of the state playoffs competition begins Oct. 25. State semifinals are set for Nov. 8 with the state title games for 3A, 4A and 5A scheduled for Nov. 11 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.

“We work on technique, tactics related to our previous game and upcoming opponents and physical maintenance work,” said Heritage coach Adam Buseck. “We use video analysis to view previous games and show the players positive and negative things they are doing as individuals and in groups.

“We utilize the depth of our program and scrimmage with our JV team a good amount. We work situational concepts this week on how do we adjust when we are winning or losing by one goal, two goals or if we are overmatch playing a strong team.”

Volleyball squads work in ways like football teams Offense centers on setter, whose role is similar to that of quarterback

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A good volleyball team can relate to what makes a football team successful.

Volleyball players have to know each other and work together just like a good offensive line in football that is directed by an effective quarterback.

“We liken offense to football a lot but the most important part of that is the setter, who is the quarterback of the team,” said Arapahoe coach Jordan Wright. “Setters are running the offense, telling players what plays they are doing, then setting the smartest option within those plays.”

In tennis, players often climb a lengthy ladder

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Ladders and challenge matches are vehicles used by tennis coaches to rank players on a team.

For a large school like Cherry Creek. the ladder is big.

Members on teams from all schools must play documented challenge matches and either move up or down on the ladder, which eventually will determine a team’s lineup based on ability.

The Colorado High School Activities Association has the following ethics rules regarding challenge matches in its tennis bulletin: A tennis coach must present a player’s list at the beginning of each dual match/tournament. The list shall certify that the team’s best player determined by play is the #1 singles, #2 singles, etc. with the exception of temporary replacements. A tennis ladder or challenge match results must be provided to prove a team lineup.

Challenge matches don’t continue into the regular season because of another CHSAA guideline.

All players must have competed in at least six events at that position before they can play at that position in regionals.

Cherry Creek had 169 players on its ladder when challenge matches started

Sam Angell finishes a serve during the first day of Cherry Creek challenge matches which will determine positions on the Bruins’ team.

JIM BENTON Aug. 14, and coach Art Quinn admits it takes time to understand just how a substantial ladder works that is complete with four-player clusters.

Quinn, a 1982 graduate, played tennis at Creek and was an assistant coach for eight seasons before assuming the head coaching position two years ago.

“It took me five to six years as an assistant coach to completely understand each part of the ladder and understand it as a whole,” said Quinn. “Every year there’s something that will happen that you cannot foresee. With a program the size of Cherry Creek and the amount of variables you have, there’s really no way to predict every outcome. There

are surprises every year, no doubt.

“There are so many processes within the processes. As you get near the top of the clusters, the top 14, it’s still the same ladder, but it’s a different system within the system.”

The system has worked as the Bruins head into the 2018 season, having won the past six straight Class 5A state titles and 42 of 45 championships since 1971.

This season, tennis state qualifying regionals must be completed by Oct. 7 and the state tournaments are scheduled for Oct. 12-14. The Class 5A state tournament is set for the Gates Tennis Center in Denver and the 4A meet will be held at Pueblo City Park.

Challenge matches provide a competitive, intense start to the season but coaches usually wait until the lineup is established to work on helping players with particular phases of the game.

“For our challenge matches, I do not coach our athletes,” said Mountain Range coach Karl Buck. “I do not want our athletes to feel that I am coaching one more than the other, so I avoid it altogether. I watch every singles and doubles challenge match, taking notes on what I feel our players can do better in the future.”

Heritage coach Chad Hanson is also a spectator during the early-season challenge matches.

TENNIS PLAYERS TO WATCH Returning players from south metro area schools who qualified to play in last year’s boys state tennis tournaments: Heritage: Skyler Gates, Jack Alexander, Will Jones, Zach Kennedy, Cole Sullivan, Carson McLeod.

Arapahoe: Tyler Larson, Nick Stephenson, Jake Hall, Kick Zieser, Jack Kikkeri, Chase Wern, AJ Nelson.

Ponderosa: Henry Cox, Hayden Smith, Luke Lindell, Trent Lowe, Peyton Correll, Cherry Creek: Alex Gordon, Sam Angell, Drew Hill, Stone Heyan, Nick Eidler, Ben Murray, Zack Smith, Nick Suichar.

Mountain Vista: Collin Bean, Tommy Hipp, Brian Benson, Naman Kapasi.

ThunderRidge: Benton Haensel, Carson Sexton Rock Canyon: Luke Smith Legend: Luke Grant Valor Christian: Carter Logan, Xavier Pacheco, Chapin Schott, Truman Osburn, Ben Findlow “The boys have been coached by me or their private coaches all summer and have a chance to show me how hard they’ve worked during the challenge matches,” he said. “We begin normal practices as soon as the ladder is set.”

Report puts health of young athletes in spotlight

M

aybe that last-place ranking that Colorado recently received in the report released by the Korey Stringer Institute on managing injury risk has turned into a positive for the Colorado High School Activities Association.

Colorado was last among 51 state associations in the high school sports Safety Policy Rankings. Rankings are based on guidelines for sudden cardiac arrest, exertional heat stroke, traumatic head injury, appropriate health care coverage and emergency preparedness.

North Carolina was ranked first, followed by Kentucky.

CHSAA and the National Federation of State High School Associations objected to the Aug. 8 report.

CHSAA responded loudly and has made people aware of what the organization is doing.

“It gave us pause to look at what we were doing, double check our best

full of team building and consist of a lot of 6-on-6 competition drills to get the girls used to playing next to each other,” she said.

Girls’ high school volleyball teams opened practice Aug. 14.

Eight teams from the Colorado Community Media circulation area were ranked in the CHSAANow.com preseason volleyball polls.

Rock Canyon was third in the Class 5A ratings with Chaparral fourth, Mountain Vista fifth, Cherry Creek sixth and Arapahoe eighth. Holy Family was second in the 4A poll with Valor Christian fifth, while Faith Christian was eighth in the 3A poll.

Teams will have two months of practice and matches to tune up their games before the regionals that must be completed by Nov. 5. The all-classification state tournament is set for Nov. 10-11 at the Denver Coliseum.

“We are in some form of 6-v-6 during 80 percent or more of our prac-

practices with others and provide reassurance that we had many good things in place,” assistant CHSAA Commissioner Bert OVERTIME Borgmann said.

“We know that we will be adding additional measures, and we would have without the survey.

We are focused on and will continue to be focused on the health and safety of Jim Benton Colorado’s student participants.”

CHSAA claims the Stringer ranking was not an accurate reflection of safety measures employed and the organization said it did not participate in the questionnaire involved with the rankings.

The Korey Stringer Institute is a safety research and advocacy organization based at the University of Connecticut. Stringer, a pro football

tices,” related Castle View coach Scott Dowis. “We do a lot of statistical drills in this environment. We also do one positional practice each week.

“In terms of technology we use an iPad that films our team and projects it to a TV in our gym on a 15-second delay. That way we review a play or player performing a skill right after it happened. The visual feedback is a great tool.”

Ralston Valley coach Debbie Erickson rationalizes that “practice varies depending on where we are in the season.”

At Lutheran, coach Alicia Oates stresses ball control during practice and games.

“We will practice ways to utilize our team strengths while improving any areas of weakness,” Oates said. “As we get into game competition we like to look for ways to use our strengths against our opponent’s weaknesses, but our primary focus is on controlling our side on the net. The more competition, pressure situations and game-like experiences we can create in practice, the better.”

NFHS felt the grading of state associations was an incomplete measurement of the states’ ability to help member schools with heat, heart and head issues.

Saturday was the day that college football teams were in the limelight. However, that has been changing in recent years, with more and more college games showing up on TV on Friday nights.

The National Federation of State High School Associations adopted a resolution that urges schools and teams at the college and pro levels to honor the longstanding tradition that Friday nights in the fall should be reserved for high school football.

That just won’t happen because money talks and college football can gain revenue from television contracts by playing games on Friday.

Colorado and Colorado State play on Friday, Sept 1. The Big 10 is exploring playing Friday games and joining the many other schools already seeking paydays by playing a day earlier than usual.

There are 38 games this season that will be played and televised nationally on Friday nights between Sept. 1 and Nov. 17.

Perry retired after the 2017 season.

Bocklet, 31, has been head coach at Highlands Ranch, where he compiled a 43-36 record in six seasons. He said he is looking forward to the journey ahead as he takes the reins of the Bruins, who graduated 13 players off last season’s state championship team.

He plans to continue playing professional lacrosse.

Pirates players raise their helmets and cheer as they wrap up their Aug. 18 football practice. Englewood will field a young team this season and most of the 48 players on the roster are freshmen and sophomores.

TOM MUNDS

Pirates prepare for football season Seven seniors to provide leadership for young Englewood team

BY BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Most of the starters on this year’s Englewood High School football team will be freshmen and sophomores who will be asked to step up while learning under fire.

“We have a very young team this season and that is where we are at,” coach Jay Graves said as he watched his team’s Aug. 17 practice. “We have 48 kids on the roster, which is a good turnout for the team. However, the majority of our players are freshmen and sophomores. This is my 10th year as head coach and this probably is the youngest group of players I have had on the roster at the start of the season. ” He said all the kids have been working hard and the Pirates have done a lot of good things over the summer,

including a very strong camp. But he noted the fact remains there are sophomores who will be starters for Englewood who must grow into good football players very quickly.

Graves said the coaches will keep things very simple on the offensive side of the ball and work to play good defense.

“When we have the ball, we will look to mix in passes with our running game,” the coach said. “We thought our quarterback from last season would be with us, but he has decided not to play football. Right now, we are looking at three guys, seniors Brock Breazeale and Taylor Blackburn and sophomore Mason Robertson, who was the junior varsity quarterback last season, who will probably all be in there to call signals for us.”

He said to win games the Pirates must play good defense, and he feels the young players can step up and do the job.

Section 11. Establishment of Construction Fund. The City hereby creates and establishes the “City of Sheridan, Colorado, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017, Construction Fund” (the “Construction Fund”) as a separate fund within the funds of the City at a bank or trust company to be selected by the City. The City shall deposit in the Construction Fund, upon the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds, the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds, except the sum required to pay the Underwriter’s discount and the costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the Bonds. Moneys in the Construction Fund are to be used and paid out from time to time solely for the purpose of paying the costs associated with the Project; provided, however, that income derived from the investment and reinvestment of the moneys in the Construction Fund may be used to pay interest on the Bonds.

All income derived from the investment and reinvestment of the moneys in the Construction Fund shall be deposited in the Construction Fund to be utilized for the purposes for which the Construction Fund is established.

Section 12. Establishment of Bond Fund. The City hereby establishes with the Paying Agent the “City of Sheridan, Colorado, General Obligation Bonds, Series 2017, Bond Fund” (the “Bond Fund”), to be used solely for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, into which there shall be deposited or caused to be deposited by the City at the times required by the Paying Agency Agreement and this Ordinance, moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption, on the Bonds. Accrued interest, if any, received with respect to the Bonds shall be paid to the City and shall be deposited in the Bond Fund on or prior to the first interest payment date for the Bonds. The Bond Fund shall be maintained with the Paying Agent as set forth in the Paying Agency Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Bond Fund shall be invested and reinvested in the manner set forth in the Paying Agency Agreement, and the income from such investment and reinvestment shall remain on deposit in the Bond Fund.

Section 13. Pledge of Security for the Bonds.

The Bonds shall be general obligations of the City and the full faith and credit of the City are pledged for the punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.

The Bonds will not constitute a debt or indebtedness of Arapahoe County, Colorado, the State of Colorado or any political subdivision thereof other than the City.

For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, respectively, the City Council shall annually determine, fix and certify to the Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County a rate of levy for general ad valorem taxes, without limitation as to rate or amount, on all of the taxable property in the City, which will be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, respectively, whether at maturity or upon earlier redemption.

Such general ad valorem taxes, when collected, shall be applied solely to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and for no other purpose whatever until the Bonds, including principal and interest, are fully paid, satisfied and discharged. Nothing contained herein shall be so construed to prevent the City from applying any other funds that may be in the treasury of the City and available for that purpose, to the payment of said principal or interest as the same becomes due and payable, and upon the application of such other funds as aforesaid, the levy or levies herein provided may thereupon to that extent be diminished. The sums produced by the levies hereinabove provided to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, respectively, are hereby appropriated for that purpose, and said amounts for each year shall be included in the annual budget and appropriation resolution to be adopted and passed by the City Council in each year, respectively, while any of the Bonds herein authorized, either as to principal or interest, are unpaid.

The foregoing provisions of this Ordinance are hereby declared to be a certificate from the City Council to the Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County showing the aggregate amount of ad valorem taxes to be levied by such Board of County Commissioners from time to time, as required by law, for the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall hereafter become due and payable.

Such ad valorem taxes, when collected, shall initially be deposited in a restricted account and then shall be deposited or caused to be deposited in the Bond Fund prior to each principal or interest payment date with respect to the Bonds, as required by the Paying Agency Agreement, in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due.

No provision of any constitution, statute, ordinance, resolution or other order or measure enacted or becoming effective after the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as limiting or impairing the obligation of the City to levy general ad valorem taxes, without limitation as to rate or amount, or as limiting or impairing the obligation of the City to levy, administer, enforce and collect general ad valorem taxes, sufficient for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as they become due or on any bonds issued by the City to refund the Bonds.

No provision of any constitution, statute, ordinance, resolution or other order or measure enacted or becoming effective after the issuance of the Bonds shall in any manner be construed as limiting or impairing the obligation of the City to levy general ad valorem taxes, without limitation as to rate or amount, or as limiting or impairing the obligation of the City to levy, administer, enforce and collect general ad valorem taxes, sufficient for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as they become due or on any bonds issued by the City to refund the Bonds.

City and County

The creation, perfection, enforcement, and priority of the pledge of the general ad valorem tax revenues levied to secure or pay the Bonds as provided herein shall be governed by Section 11-57-208 of the Supplemental Act and this Ordinance. The general ad valorem tax revenues levied for the payment of the Bonds, as received or otherwise credited to the City, shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery, filing, or further act. The lien of such pledge and the obligation to perform the contractual provisions made herein shall have priority over any or all other obligations and liabilities of the City. The lien of such pledge shall be valid, binding, and enforceable as against all persons having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the City irrespective of whether such persons have notice of such lien.

Section 14. Covenants Concerning Compliance with the Code. The City covenants that it shall not use or permit the use of any proceeds of the Bonds (and amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, including moneys reasonably expected to be used to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds) or any other funds of the City from whatever source derived, directly or indirectly, to acquire any securities or obligations, and shall not take or permit to be taken any other action or actions, which would cause any of the Bonds to be an “arbitrage bond” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or would otherwise cause interest on the Bonds not to be excludable from gross income for purposes of federal income taxation. The City covenants that it shall at all times do and perform all acts and things permitted by law and which are necessary or desirable in order to assure that interest paid by the City on the Bonds shall, for purposes of federal income taxation, be excludable from gross income under the Code or any other valid provision of law.

In particular, but without limitation, the City further represents, warrants and covenants to comply with the following restrictions of the Code, unless the City receives an opinion of nationally recognized municipal bond counsel substantially to the effect that noncompliance with such requirements will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income, for purposes of federal income taxation, of interest on the Bonds: (a) Gross proceeds of the Bonds shall not be used in a manner which will cause the Bonds to be considered “private activity bonds” within the meaning of the Code. (b) The Bonds are not and shall not become directly or indirectly “federally guaranteed.” A Bond will be considered to be “federally guaranteed” if the payment of principal or interest with respect to such Bond is guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States of America (or any agency or instrumentality thereof) or if 5% or more of the proceeds of the Bonds are used in making loans the payment of principal or interest with respect to which is guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States of America (or any agency or instrumentality thereof) or if invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured deposits or accounts. (c) The City shall timely file Internal Revenue Form 8038-G pursuant to Section 149(e) of the Code with respect to the issuance of the Bonds. (d) The City shall not sell any other obligations within 15 days of the sale of the Bonds pursuant to the same plan of financing with the Bonds and payable from the same source of funds or having substantially the same claim to the same source of funds used to pay the Bonds.

Section 15. Ability of the City to Incur Additional Indebtedness. Any provision of this Ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, the City may issue additional notes, bonds or other securities payable from a levy of general ad valorem taxes in addition or subordinate to, but not prior or superior to, the general ad valorem taxes levied to pay the Bonds authorized herein.

Section 16. Official Statement. The Mayor or the Mayor Pro Tem is authorized and directed to execute and deliver, on behalf of the City, the final Official Statement in substantially the form of the Preliminary Official Statement, but with such modifications thereof as are consistent with the terms and provisions of this Ordinance and the Bond Details Certificate and which the Mayor or the Mayor Pro Tem shall approve. The execution of the final Official Statement by the Mayor or the Mayor Pro Tem shall be conclusively deemed to evidence the approval of the form and contents thereof by the City.

Section 17. Further Action. The Mayor and all other members of the City Council and the City Manager and all other officers and employees of the City are hereby authorized and directed to take all other action necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Ordinance, and to comply with the requirements of law, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) The printing of the Bonds authorized herein; (b) The execution of a Tax Compliance Certificate in connection with the issuance of the Bonds; (c) The execution and delivery of other agreements, documents and certificates in connection with the investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, one or more guaranteed investment contracts, whether uncollateralized or collateralized with securities, or repurchase agreements for the purchase and repurchase of securities, that mature within or more than five years from the date of their purchase by the City; (d) The execution of (i) such other certificates and documents as may reasonably be required by the Underwriter as set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, or by bond counsel, in con-

ments, documents and certificates in connection with the investment of the proceeds of the Bonds, including, but not limited to, one or more guaranteed investment contracts, whether uncollateralized or collateralized with securities, or repurchase agreements for the purchase and repurchase of securities, that mature within or more than five years from the date of their purchase by the City; (d) The execution of (i) such other certificates and documents as may reasonably be required by the Underwriter as set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement, or by bond counsel, in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, and (ii) a commitment from an insurance company offering to guaranty the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due; and (e) The making of various statements, recitals, certifications and warranties provided in the form of the Bonds set forth in this Ordinance.

City and County

Section 18. Covenants. The City Council, having been fully informed of and having considered all the pertinent facts and circumstances, does hereby find, determine and declare that: (a) the total aggregate amount of general obligation indebtedness of the City does not now, nor upon the issuance of the Bonds shall, exceed any applicable limit prescribed by the Constitution of the State of Colorado or the Charter; (b) the issuance of the Bonds and all procedures undertaken incident thereto are in full compliance and conformity with all applicable requirements, provisions and limitations prescribed by the Constitution of the State of Colorado and the Charter; and (c) all covenants, statements, representations and agreements contained in the Bonds are hereby approved and adopted as the covenants, statements, representations and agreements of the City.

Section 19. Defeasance. When all principal of, premium, if any, and interest in connection with the Bonds have been duly paid, the pledge and lien and all obligations hereunder shall thereby be discharged, and the Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding within the meaning of this Ordinance. Payment of any Bond shall be deemed made when the City has placed in escrow and in trust with a commercial bank located within or without the State of Colorado, and exercising trust powers, cash or Defeasance Securities (as defined below) that are, at the time of investment, lawful investments for moneys of the City under the laws of the State of Colorado, in an amount sufficient (including the known minimum yield from such Defeasance Securities in which such amount may be initially invested) to meet all requirements of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond, as the same become due to the final maturity of such Bond or upon any prior redemption date as of which the City shall have exercised or shall have obligated itself to exercise its prior redemption option by a call of such Bond for payment.

The Defeasance Securities shall become due at or prior to the respective times on which the proceeds thereof shall be needed in accordance with a schedule established and agreed upon between the City and such bank at the time of the creation of the escrow, or the Defeasance Securities shall be subject to redemption at the option of the holder thereof to assure such availability as so needed to meet such schedule.

“Defeasance Securities” means direct noncallable obligations of the United States of America and securities fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to the timely payment of principal and interest by the United States of America, to which direct obligation or guarantee the full faith and credit of the United States of America has been pledged, Refcorp interest strips (only the interest component of Refcorp strips which have been stripped by request to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in book entry form are acceptable), CATS, TIGRS, STRPS, or defeased municipal bonds rated “AAA” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or “Aaa” by Moody’s Investors Service (or any combination thereof).

Section 20. Election to Apply Provisions of Supplemental Public Securities Act. The City elects to apply all of the provisions of the Supplemental Act to the issuance of the Bonds.

Section 21. Sale of Bonds to Underwriter.

The City Council does hereby reaffirm its determination to sell the Bonds to the Underwriter at a price of not less than 99% of the principal amount of the Bonds, and upon the terms, conditions and provisions as shall be set forth in the Bond Purchase Agreement.

Section 22. Repealer. All acts, orders, ordinances or resolutions, or parts thereof, by the City that are inconsistent or in conflict with this Ordinance, or any part thereof, are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency or conflict, except that this repealer shall not be construed so as to revive any act, order, ordinance or resolution, or part thereof, heretofore repealed.

Section 23. Ordinance to Constitute a Contract. This Ordinance is, and shall constitute, a legislative measure of the City authorizing the issuance and sale of the Bonds, which Bonds shall constitute general obligation indebtedness of the City, and after the Bonds hereby authorized are issued, sold and are outstanding, this Ordinance shall constitute a contract between the City and the registered owners of the Bonds, and shall be and remain irrepealable until the Bonds, any premium, and the interest accruing thereon shall have been fully paid, satisfied and discharged. This Ordinance may be amended with the consent of the insurance company, if any, that guarantees the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due (the “Insurer”) and, if such amendment does not materially adversely affect the interests of the registered owners of the Bonds, without the consent of or notice to the registered owners of the Bonds; provided, however, that if the municipal bond insurance policy (the “Policy”) issued by the Insurer and applicable to the Bonds is no longer in full force and effect or if the Insurer is in default under the Policy, this Ordinance may be amended without the consent of the Insurer and, if such amendment does not materially adversely affect the interests of the registered owners of the Bonds, without the consent of or notice to the registered owners of the Bonds.
