¡Hola! to ‘Project Ñ’

Venture profiles children of Hispanic immigrants

By Peter Jones e n i s e Soler had her “aha!” moment in the late 1990s in Miami. She was in her mid-20s at the time and living in a city where more than half of the population was born outside the United States. But she was still grappling with her place as a first-generation American-born U.S. citizen with Cuban and Puerto Rican ancestry.

It was during some light banter with several other young Hispanics that she suddenly felt an affinity for more than her proud ethnic heritage. She realized that other Latinos had similarly grown up with an odd mix of cultural tradition and an ongoing, sometimes-awkward assimilation into the broader culture.

As the evening’s lighthearted conversation with Eduardo (turned Eddie) and Ramon (turned Raymond) ensued, a bittersweet smile crossed Soler’s face while her childhood memories began to pour like sangria.

“As a third-grader, people would call me Denise Soler System. Now, I think it’s funny, but it made me cry when I came home,” she said. “I thought I was alone

having my own experience on the outside looking in and straddling two different worlds. Then I realized I was actually in the company of not only the people there in the room, but every single person that had been born with immigrant parents.”

Before long, Soler – a name pronounced with an ever-so-slightly rolled r – realized there was even a name for this brand of bicultural identity. As it happened, she was an “Enye,” a shorthand quasi-gen-

erational term derived from “eñe,” the word for “ñ,” the distinct Spanish letter to which many Denverites became accustomed through the city’s onetime Mayor Federico Peña.

Confused? Think Generation X or Y with a Hispanic twist.

“We like Celia Cruz, who’s like the queen of salsa, but we also like Madonna,” said the now locally based Enye, in defining her “generation’s” cultural identity.

Enyes and frienyes

In the years since that fateful bull session in Florida, Denise Soler Cox – a new name that came

by virtue of her marriage to a “frienye,” a non-Hispanic “friend” of the Enye community – the now 43-year-old woman has sought to shed light on the stories, culture and challenges of her ever-growing community.

Cox says she knew there was a book, movie or something else just waiting to get out of the ongoing conversation – but what is a graphic artist without a film background to do about it?

“It was one of those ideas that wouldn’t let me go,” she said.

The wait is over – sort of. A short film called Project Ñ will make its premier during CineLa-

Englewood health care aide sentenced for sex assaults Parents videotaped man’s attacks in daughter’s room

By Peter Jones A 34-year-old Denver man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being videotaped sexually assaulting an immobile victim while he was working as a nursing assistant in Englewood.

Paul Bugarcic was employed by the Cherry Hills Health Care Center, where he had been responsible for caring for the brain-injured patient whose communication abilities

were limited to a “thumbs up” and “peace sign,” according to the District Attorney’s Office.

In an effort to monitor her progress, the patient’s parents had placed a hidden camera in the victim’s room. The footage from January showed Bugarcic twice assaulting the victim. The defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree kidnapping and assault and agreed to the 15-year sentence and will complete five years of sex-offender probation after he is released.

According to District Attorney

George Brauchler, Colorado’s sexual-assault laws did not require a mandatory prison sentence.

“He was probation-eligible, despite subjecting this victim to his terrible crimes,” Brauchler said. “This conduct demanded more, but at the very least this sentence ensures the defendant will not victimize anyone else in our community for the duration of his time in prison.”

Senior Deputy District Attorney Gary Dawson said without the parents’ videotapes, the victimization could have continued indefinitely.

Unlike most festivals, audience members, particularly those who qualify as Enyes, may have the opportunity to get involved, even after the documentary is screened. The short film is just the first step in a much larger project that will eventually include a full-length movie and an ongoing interactive Web presence.

Henry Ansbacher, a locally based Emmy-winning and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, Continued on page 5 “Who knows how long this defendant would have preyed on this victim, or others in a similar condition? Justice is giving the victim and her family peace of mind knowing that this defendant will spend over a decade locked up and away from her,” Dawson said.

The victim’s family issued a statement, which read in part: “While the sentence the defendant received is well-deserved, this whole experience has been heartbreaking. The pain our family has felt is unimaginable. Our daughter is trapped in her body and she couldn’t scream for help.”

Cherry Creek Schools Fitness Festival draws record crowd

I

Submitted by CCSD t was part pep rally, complete with cheerleaders and a marching band, and part workout, with plenty of people stretching out and warming up.

Then, with a “3, 2, 1, GO!” and a cheer from the crowd, they were off! A record 3,400+ people took part in the 14th annual Cherry Creek Schools Fitness Festival, Sept. 6, at the Stutler Bowl in Greenwood Village.

Among them was Superintendent Harry Bull.

“It is my pleasure to be here today and to join all of you in this fantastic

example of a community – the community of the Cherry Creek School District – to come together to encourage healthy lifestyles amongst our youth and within our families,” Bull told the crowd.

A combination of serious runners and casual joggers tackled the officially timed 5K course, while more relaxed runners and walkers, including families with kids on foot and in wagons and strollers, circled the Stutler Bowl track in the Kaiser Permanente 1K Fitness Run/Walk.

Awards were presented to the top finishers in several categories (get the results at www.ccsdfit.org) and

Yuck! That was the reaction to this unhealthy lung demonstration at the Healthy Living Expo.

to elementary students, who participated in the Cherry Creek Fitness Challenge, presented by Fisher Capital. Those students ran the equivalent of a marathon over the summer by staying active and converting that activity to miles.

Another highlight of the Fitness Festival is the after party, featuring music and food samples from local restaurants, along with the Healthy Living Expo, which offered lots of hands-on activities with a health and wellness focus.

More than 20 organizations sponsored this year’s Fitness Festival. Top sponsors include Kaiser

Permanente, Fisher Capital, First American State Bank, Resource Capital Funds, Spectrum Retirement Communities, the Bhappu Family Foundation and Davis Graham & Stubbs.

“Learn to Live Healthy” was the motto of the event, which benefits the Community Asset Project, a community partner of Cherry Creek Schools. CAP is a group of parents, educators, community professionals, public safety agencies and youth working to ensure that all children maximize their life skills and academic potential. Funding from CAP allows the CCSD Wellness Office

to offer vital programs that support wellness and social emotional learning, help reduce risk behaviors (substance abuse, bullying, suicide) and promote the development of protective factors (safe and supportive school environment and positive relationships).

The Fitness Festival was founded in 2001 by Jay and Kristina Davidson of First American State Bank.

In its first 13 years, the event raised more than $1 million for CAP. Last year, the Davidsons gifted the event to CAP and the Cherry Creek School District.

“We are proud to carry on the community tradition the Davidsons created and continue to support the health and wellness of students and families in our community,” said Janise McNally, wellness coordinator for Cherry Creek Schools.

Runners and joggers take off from the Stutler Bowl for the Fitness Festival’s officially timed 5K. Board of Education member Karen Fisher congratulates an elementary school student who completed the Cherry Creek Fitness Challenge, which requires students to do enough physical activity over the summer to equal running a marathon.

Making a good county, great KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

Grass roots government and the press During the last two months, I’ve had the privilege of attending the open public meetings of the Arapahoe County Citizen Budget Committee. This is a county appointed volunteer group of citizens who advise the county commissioners on finance and budget issues impacting county taxpayers.

They don’t make final decisions, but look at budgets as an oversight committee - looking at the expenditure of county funds and the many departments of local governance in Arapahoe County that all need annual budgets.

This committee is government working at the highest level, watchdogs looking out for all taxpayers, regardless of political affiliation or employment.

The county budget office participates with Todd Weaver providing fiscal budgets and information to the budget committee; he’s a bright young man.

The past two months, the group has been examining the proposed

new casino in Arapahoe County that will be on the Nov. 4 ballot. This has a huge impact on the county budget with fiscal impacts for land use, law enforcement, highways, fire protection, zoning, and water and sewer services.

The Citizen Budget Committee doesn’t like the proposed Amendment 68 for lack of fiscal commitments that have to be negotiated after the election, lack of local voter approval, and assurances that the casino will be able to make a profit and pay the extraordinary tax rates that the amendment suggests at 34 percent.

While the tax revenues flow only to K-12 schools, it only amounts to about $50 annually for Colorado students. Average school pupil cost is somewhere around $6,500 annually, depending upon school district locations and state funding.

The committee will submit a written report to the county commissioners outlining their fears in the near future.

But, whether the report is positive, or negative, the committee has served a wonderful function of local government watching how dollars are spent in Arapahoe County and even how future dollars and expenditures may affect local taxpayers.

This is good stuff.

Next, they’re going to look at the new proposed county fairgrounds asking for a fiscal report at their next meeting on Oct. 15, along with looking at the newly proposed county budget for 2015.

Anactually in the sbacher’s credits include last year’s company of American Mustang, a documentary produced by south metro’s Ellie … every single Phipps Price. person that had “Wouldn’t it be incredible if that been born with same experience could be shared by the 16 million Enyes that are in Amer- immigrant parents. ica right now,” Ansbacher said of 21st century Enyes. “The best way to facilitate that is through a documentary.

There are so many stories, so many interesting people. I think there’s a real hunger for it. It’s all designed around a crowd-powered idea.”

This attention being paid to firstgeneration American-born Hispanics may be more than academic. Latinos are the fastest-growing minority in the United States, as is exemplified in the 6th Congressional District, where one in five residents is Hispanic and candidates Rep. Mike Coffman and his challenger Andrew Romanoff have scheduled a debate next month that will be conducted entirely in Spanish.

“I think it’s exciting to think about what will happen as more of the Enyes get woken up to that,” Ansbacher said of a growing Hispanic influence. “It’s hard to predict what that will look like in a political sense or in a cultural or neighborhood sense.”

Cox agrees that it is all up in the air, when it comes to the long-term future of a slowly rising demographic that is unaccustomed to cultural or political influence.

“I’m curious to see what will happen once 16 million people feel like they’re part of something, particularly young people, because when people don’t feel like they’re part of things, they might not make the best choices,” she said.

Different worlds

Born in New York City to a mother from Puerto Rico and a father born in New York to a Cuban father and a Puerto Rican mother, Cox (nee Soler) saw her fair share of culture in a Puerto Rican neighborhood in the Bronx and during regular trips to a church in upper Manhattan’s Spanish Harlem.

Although constantly living amid the food, culture and music of her family’s homelands, Cox’s parents

- Denise Soler Cox, co-producer of Project Ñ kept the Spanish language at bay.

“They wanted me to participate and take advantage of all that was offered to me without being discriminated against,” Cox explained.

Cox’s childhood turned out to be a tale of two cultures.

“We lived in a two-bedroom apartment. I shared a room with my two brothers,” she said. “Then my parents saved up everything they had to move us to Westchester County. Back in the ‘70s, it was very non-Latino. I did not meet my first Latino classmate until high school.”

Westchester is where Cox became a real fish – or mojito shrimp – out of water. Her family simplified its last name to the more simply pronounced “Solar” and tried to fit in, even as Cox’s Chinese-American friends had an easier time of it.

“I always envied them because they walked into a room and no one could take away their Asianness. Even if they were here for three generations, they always got to be Chinese,” she said. “I was first generation and I couldn’t be a Puerto Rican.”

In that continuing world of contradictions, Cox would later be chastised by a Hispanic call-center representative when she simplified her pronunciation of “Soler.” Cox would eventually travel as far as Spain and Puerto Rico in search of ways to understand her increasingly complex heritage.

“Spain is the only place in the world I’ve been where I felt most connected,” she said. “I happen to have a very southern Spanish look. My name [Soler] is even more popular there. I got to be ordinary. But in Puerto Rico, I was a ‘gringa,’ which is kind of like being called a spic.”

A short version of Project Ñ to screen Sept. 28

A short version of Project Ñ will be screened Sunday, Sept. 28 at 4:45 p.m. as part of CineLatino, Sept. 25-28, at the Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver.

A panel discussion will follow. For tickets, visit www. denverfilm.org. Tickets are $20 or use promotion code PROJECTENYE at checkout to purchase an all-access festival pass for $50. The pass includes all films, panels and receptions, including food and complimentary tequila. The Enye20 package costs $20 and includes the opening-night reception and film, and the Project Ñ screening and reception. To purchase that pass, email boxoffice@ denverfilm.org with “Enye20” in the subject line and your name and phone number in the body of email. For more information about participating in project, visit www.project enye.com.

Clearly, the story of the American Enye is multifaceted and one that will be prone to multidimensional stories and endless bonus features as Project Ñ continues to seek out and tell the stories of first-generation Americanborn Hispanics.

Take the footnoted “chicken stories,” which may eventually comprise a whole section of the project.

Cox, for one, recalls visiting her grandmother in rural Puerto Rico.

“All of a sudden, she went with a machete and whacks the head off this chicken,” she said with a laugh. “The next thing I know, I’m watching a [headless] chicken running all over the backyard and we had chicken for dinner.”

As for fluently speaking the language of her chicken-chopping grandmother, Cox admits that she is a work in progress as she continues her role as a sometimes self-conscious Hispanic swimming in the American melting pot.

“The more I drink, the better I get,” she said with a smile.

Clerk named to state and international committees Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane has been appointed to represent all of Colorado’s county clerks on statewide and international committees in 2015.

Crane has been elected by Colorado delegates of the International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers to serve as the state delegation director.

In this role, he will represent all Colorado members at the annual meeting in 2015 and will participate in electing the association’s officers and voting on bylaw amendments.

Crane has also been appointed by Colorado Department of Revenue Executive Director Barbara Brohl to serve as one of seven county representatives on the Colorado State Titling and Registration System Advisory Committee, overseeing a com-

puter system funded by the Highway Users. That committee is responsible for developing plans to operate and improve the system and developing budget proposals and seeking legislative approval for use of a special CSTARS fund.

“I’m truly honored to be selected to serve on the CSTARS committee, which has the important task of envisioning a computer system that meets the future needs of our motor-vehicle offices,” Crane said. “I’m also excited to represent Colorado’s clerks and treasurers as a delegate to our professional association.”

Crane has served as clerk and recorder since March 2013, when he was appointed to fill a vacant seat.

He previously worked as Arapahoe County’s deputy of elections since 2012 and the operations/special

projects manager since 2007. Crane has 14 years of experience in elections administration, including for Denver County, Wyant Data Systems and the Colorado Department of State.

Crane was elected by his peers to be the 2014 vice president of the Colorado County Clerks Association and will be president-elect in 2015. He also holds professional memberships in the Colorado Municipal Clerk’s Association, the National Association of County Recorders, the International Association of Clerks, Recorders, Election Officials and Treasurers, and the National Association of Election Officials.

He is a certified election administrator through the NAEO Election Center and the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office.

Submitted by Doug Tisdale Cherry Hills Mayor Doug Tisdale has formally announced his campaign for re-election as mayor of the No. 1 Best Suburb of America to Live In. Tisdale was elected mayor by a large margin against two opponents in the April 2012 election, having previously served as councilmember from 2000 through 2008, including two years as Mayor Pro Tem (2006-2008).

Residents of Cherry Hills amended their home rule charter in 2012 to move elections from the April “municipal cycle” to the November “general election cycle” for 2014 and subsequent years.

The election will be on Nov. 4.

The popular mayor has worked hard to raise awareness about Cherry Hills Village and the unique advantages of this bedroom community.

“We have 6,100 people who live in 2,100 homes, with eight churches, six small businesses, four clubs and three schools, situated in the most attractive six and a half square miles in the very heart of a dynamic metropolitan area,” said Mayor Tisdale.

Following his first election as mayor, The Wall Street Journal and Forbes magazine have begun regularly reporting on the special qualities and benefits of this unique Village.

“I promised the voters in 2012 that I would take steps to increase the value of their homes, which for some people is their largest asset, and I’ve done that, including being responsible for a full page story on our residential real estate in The Wall Street Journal” the mayor said.

Open space is an important

issue in the Village and figures prominently in Mayor Tisdale’s administration. One of Tisdale’s first accomplishments as mayor was negotiating the gift of two and a half acres near the Village Center, a $1.6 million parcel of land that has been dedicated as the Alan Hutto Memorial Commons. The mayor also oversaw the creation of the Quincy Farm Visioning Committee, a citizen-participation group responsible for crafting a vision for the 19 acre parcel off the High Line Canal at Quincy Avenue gifted to the Village by Cat Anderson.

Recognizing that Cherry Hills Village is deeply and directly affected by change in surrounding communities, Mayor Tisdale has become the first mayor of Cherry Hills to be elected as an executive officer of the Denver Regional Council of Governments, an officer of the Metro Mayors Caucus, Chair of the Colorado Municipal League Policy Committee, member of the National League of Cities’ First Tier Suburbs Council, and DRCOG representative to Sister Cities International.

“Change happens and you’re either a force in shaping that change, or you are negatively impacted by it. You’re either at the table or you’re on the menu,” Tisdale said.

An unabashed “social media wonk,” Mayor Tisdale communicates daily with thousands of Cherry Hills Village residents through Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and blogs.

“In a Council/Manager form of government (which applies to every city in Colorado other than Denver and Colorado Springs), the mayor serves as an ambas-

sador, to the residents, the business community, and civic leaders throughout the region, the state and the nation,” Mayor Tisdale said. “I take that responsibility seriously, working diligently to advance the interests of Cherry Hills Village and preserving and protecting our way of life, while collaborating with other communities to improve theirs.”

Tisdale, a graduate of The University of Michigan Law School and successful attorney in private practice, has been on sabbatical from the practice of law while serving as mayor. He also serves as the chair of the Colorado State Board of Registered Psychotherapists and on numerous committees and task forces on topics of special interest to the Village. He is a wellknown favorite in the nonprofit community, acting as emcee and live auctioneer at many charity events around Colorado and promoter of public causes such as the www.HelpRyanDunne.com campaign. He was recently profiled in Cherry Hills Village Living magazine.

The office of Mayor in Cherry Hills Village, as well as in all other municipalities in Colorado, is nonpartisan.

“I enjoy the benefit of actually being able to get things done for our Village without being beholden to any political party and have earned the endorsement of Republican, Democratic and Unaffiliated voters and leaders around Colorado. I am eager to continue to serve the citizens of Cherry Hills Village for another two years as your mayor,” Tisdale said.

Littleton actress falls victim to photo hacking

‘Glee’ star Benoist tweets to followers in wake of scandal

By Peter Jones Littleton’s own Melissa Benoist, a co-star of Fox’s Glee television series, is among the latest victims of a recent wave of leaked celebrity nude photos and she has taken the leakers to task on Twitter.

The 25-year-old Arapahoe High School graduate tweeted that “incivility should not be supported” to her nearly 350,000 followers and included a link to

a discussion on www.Ted.com about “clickbait news.”

Benoist, who plays Marley Rose on the series, is one of two Glee stars whose pictures have surfaced. Although her alleged nudes were not leaked with the initial photos, which included Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson and Kate Upton, among other A-Listers, Benoist’s photos hit the Internet shortly thereafter.

Her co-star Becca Tobin, 28, was also a victim, but took a more comedic approach, tweeting, “Merry XXXmas!” after her alleged nude showed her decorating a Christmas tree.

Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 68

Submitted by Roger Baker The presence on November’s general election ballot of Amendment 68 is as profound a threat to our way of life here in Gilpin County as anything we have witnessed in the past 20 years.

Amendment 68 is the latest attempt by a Rhode Island casino company to bypass the existing process for entering the Colorado gaming market by establishing a racetrack casino just east of Aurora.

The operators tried a similar gimmick in 2003, which was emphatically rejected by Colorado voters. But by tying the tax dollars the casino would generate this time around to K-12 education—which everyone agrees could use some serious financial assistance—the outof-state backers hope to make the proposition a little more palatable.

It’s telling that despite that carrot, the education establishment has largely rejected the blandishments of the promoters. As of this writing, none of Colorado’s 178 school districts has endorsed the measure, and just a few weeks ago the Denver School Board, which oversees the state’s largest school district, unanimously voted to OPPOSE Amendment 68.

There are plenty of other good reasons to vote no on Amendment

68—it’s deceptive, anti-competitive, and impossibly vague—but we in Gilpin County would have to oppose it out of simple self-preservation.

Even by the very conservative estimates of the folks in state government who calculate the fiscal impact on the state for the “Blue Book” that will be mailed to every voter, the loss to the limited gaming fund in the tax year 2015-2016 would be about $16.4 million, and in 2016-2017 almost $33 million.

Since the total revenue generated by gaming for the state is about $100 million in any given year, that’s a 33 percent decrease in the revenues that would be passed on to Gilpin County, as well.

For the past few years, that Gilpin County share of the gaming revenue has averaged about $9 million; so one can figure that our annual payment would decline by about $3 million by 2017. What would that mean?

Well, for starters, the county transfers about $1.1 million every year out of the general fund to support what might be termed “discretionary” programs--$750,000 to Parks and Recreation, $185,000 to the Library, and lesser amounts to some other entities. So one could safely assume those amenities would go away.

But then cutting an additional $2

Letters to the Editor The ‘good guys’ win

Whatever our generation, we have watched and read many tales of daring and triumph. Our veterans, astronauts, scientists and other heroes whom we honor achieved great wonders. We learned to believe that, however dire the challenges, “the good guys” win.

That belief is both a strength and a potential weakness. Expecting victory empowers us to persevere. But it also can nurture complacency. Worse, we can become crippled by confusion when the good seem thwarted by wrongdoers.

In 1867, famed economist John Stuart Mill stated (sometimes attributed to Edmund Burke), “Let not anyone pacify his

conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends than that good men should look and do nothing.”

Like the heroes we revere, though, we can choose the path of strength.

Colorado PTA says no to Amendment 68

At the Colorado PTA Legislative meeting on Sept. 8, the Colorado PTA voted to oppose Amendment 68.

“Amendment 68 is a distraction to vot-

million out of the remaining county programs would be extraordinarily difficult. We can’t just close the jail, or stop maintaining the roads (even though we use about $750,000 of our gaming dollars on this). But unless the citizens authorized a tax measure equal to the amount lost, the cuts would be inevitable and brutal.

And that would just be the obvious and immediate impact.

The increased competition for the Front Range gaming dollars (the Arapahoe Park racino would be larger by 66 percent than Ameristar, and closer to downtown Denver than Black Hawk or Central City) would inevitably cause some casino closures. That would put a lot of local residents out of work, depress commercial property values and thus decrease property tax collections, and absolutely devastate the budgets of the two cities.

These are scary numbers. The battle of the television spots has already begun, indicative that both sides are taking this ballot measure very seriously.

I don’t suppose the number of votes cast in Gilpin County will greatly affect the outcome one way or another, but I would hope that everyone up here would vote against the measure.

And tell your friends, too: Vote no on Amendment 68.

ers who want to support proper education funding and misleads voters into thinking that supporting Amendments such as this address public education funding in Colorado,” said Colorado PTA President Michelle Winzent. “Colorado is currently funding education well below the levels when I graduated high school.It is not appropriate for Legislative Amendments to use public education funding and our children in this way and it is not beneficial to the children of Colorado. In fact, by misinforming voters, Amendment 68 can be very harmful to our children and public education.” To learn more about Colorado PTA, visit our website www.copta.org Colorado PTA

Local cops provide security at golf championship Lone Tree Chief Streeter walked the beat at BMW

By Mike and Tom Barry Growing up in Denver, Jeff Streeter developed a love of golf that began when he was 10 years old. At age 12, he began working at the Overland Park Golf Course and continued through high school.

He played on his Denver Public Schools golf team and lettered for three years.

Back then, Streeter had a single handicap in his game. Now, he considers himself a recreational golfer who plays with his wife, sons and friends at courses throughout the metro area.

“I was fortunate enough to play at Cherry Hills a few years back,” Streeter said. “It’s a tough course. … I found the greens to be very difficult and the rough to be very rough … the rough being very long and thick.”

The PGA had requested enhanced security for some of the world’s top golfers. On Sept. 4, Streeter was assigned to cover Rory McIlroy, who hails from Northern Ireland. Throughout the weekend, Streeter provided security again for Ryan Palmer, Sergio Garcia, Adam

Sergio Garcia’s autographed golf ball

Scott, Chris Kirk and Bill Haas.

“All of the golfers were extremely professional, very appreciative of us being there. They were welcoming they were polite,” Streeter said.

“All my interactions were very positive.”

Top officers, wearing plain golf clothes with affixed badges, were assigned to the pros to provide a higher level of security throughout the course.

“What an electric atmosphere.

There were a lot great fans out there watching terrific golf,” Streeter said.

“For me, the most memorable was the opportunity to watch these caliber of golfers and how they play the game. For any fan, what an opportunity.”

Streeter and other law enforce-

ment officials also had an opportunity to interact with fans. At one point, the chief noticed a young boy back in the crowd with his dad and motioned for the boy to come up closer so he could see the golf action.

“I loved seeing the kids,” Streeter said. “There are a lot of young kids taking this in. It was heartwarming to see the kids out there with their parents. … What a great sport.”

On Sept. 6, Streeter walked the course with Garcia, one of the top golfers on the tour. After the round, Garcia took a ball out of his pocket and signed it for the chief on a whim.

“What an honor,” Streeter said. “… Those pro golfers are the ambassadors of the PGA.”

Off-duty assignment of a lifetime for Englewood police sergeant

By Tom Barry When Englewood Police Sgt. Brian Cousineau learned that the Cherry Hills Country Club was going to host the BMW Championship, he requested the week off and made arrangements to work an offduty security assignment in neighboring Cherry Hills Village to assist that city’s police department.

As luck would have it, Cousineau was assigned to work the first day of the tournament. His job was providing uniformed security for professional golfers at the practice putting green and driving range.

“I’m extremely passionate about golf. I love golf myself and I love the sport,” said Cousineau, who last year purchased a junior golf set for his 8-year-old daughter. “This was an opportunity … for me to see some of the best golfers in the world that I watch on TV every weekend. … Being able to just see these people in person to watch the ball and how easy

Sgt. Brian Cousineau, of the Englewood Police Department, provided security for the professional golfers at the BMW Championship at Cherry Hills Country Club. they make it look, for me it was just remarkable.”

The law enforcement officer said most of the crowd was very respectful, noting the experience was unlike providing security at other sporting events.

“There is a certain golf etiquette,” he said.

The golf fanatic would work a full day at the BMW Championship only to return home that night and watch an hour or two recap on the Golf Channel.

On the final day of the tourney came the icing on the cake.

Cousineau was reassigned to the 18th green. This vantage point allowed him to be up close and view the golfers’ approaches to the green and the final shots.

When asked about the golf tips that he received, this selfproclaimed average golfer said laughingly, “The best thing I learned is that I have a long way to go in my golf game.”

County Republicans feature Beauprez, Gardner, Coffman at Lincoln Day Dinner

A sold-out crowd of nearly 400 filled the ballroom at Doubletree Inn in Greenwood Village for the Arapahoe County Republican Annual Lincoln Day Dinner. There was electricity in the room and countless standing ovations as presentations were made

by U.S. candidates and Colorado candidates. Arapahoe County

candidates – either first timers or seasoned ones up for re-election included those known as the Fab Five - Coroner Dr. Kelly LearKaul, Assessor Corbin Sakdol, Treasurer Sue Sandstrom, Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane and Sheriff Dave Walscher. GOP What was known as the Grand Ole Party has taken on a new tagline – The Great Opportunity Party.

Cherry Creek Republican Women focus on getting to know Bob Beauprez

By Scottie Taylor Iverson

B

ob Beauprez (pronounced Bopray) is introduced as Robert Louis “Bob” Beauprez – a third generation Coloradan who knows about hard work, a dairy farmer, graduate of University of Colorado-Boulder, community banker, former chair of the Boulder County Republican Party, former chair of the Colorado Republican Party, U.S. Congressman. Editor-in-Chief of the online magazine A Line of Sight, author of the book A Return to Values: A Conservative Looks At His Party, buffalo rancher and patriarch of a wonderful family including wife of 44 years, Claudia (his high school sweetheart), daughter Melanie, sons Joe, Jim and John (who will wed Republican rising star Monica Owens next February).

That’s Bob Beauprez on the surface. What he has is fire in the belly for making Colorado stronger and a belief in the ideal of freedom.

“Claudia is the angel God sent me,” said Beauprez of his petite, beautiful and smart wife who has talents of her own. When he was in Congress, she ran the banking business and is a partner in the buffalo ranch.

“She has been a wonderful partner. Being a candidate is like having a very lengthy job inter-

Why do we allow government on the people, instead of by and for the people?

- Bob Beauprez, Republican candidate for governor view. She is the one who can always prop me up so I can go get ‘em.

“Why, Claudia and I are in this race is because of failed leadership.”

During the primary campaign, when Beauprez had several Republican opponents, polls suggested not one would get within 8-9 points of Gov. Hickenlooper.

Rasmussen now has Beauprez up by a point.

“We took inventory. We are so blessed to be here in Colorado

where dreams come true. When I ask others how they are doing, the answer is OK… not great. Something is missing in Colorado and America. They explain that it’s government. When government expands – freedom shrinks. Law doesn’t seem to matter to government now. With 100,000 pages of regulations, do we believe in trust in people or trust in government?

We need to trust in the genius of people,” he said.

On Economic Opportunity: Beauprez said that according to

John Morse University – four years ago Colorado was No. 7 and now No. 19.

“Opportunities here are going elsewhere. This is morally wrong.

Reputable economists have historically had Colorado in the Top 5 and four years ago we were No. 2. Today, we are No. 22. When has average been OK for Colorado? The governor of Utah invented solutions and now they are No. 1. The energy problem here is because of uncertainty.”

On Education: Beauprez said he would sign a repeal of Common Core. Today we are two percentage points lower on the Third Grade Reading Proficiency Test.

“Let’s identify the deficiencies early so we can get professionals to help the little ones so they can enjoy the blessings of our state.

Claudia has a private funded foundation to help with this effort,” he said.

On Public Safety: “We are turning some pretty bad people

back on the streets. We are one of the three worst states. We need to reform sentencing and parole.

The sheriffs were lied to. Again, failure of leadership! Pretending does not change reality.”

On Immigration: “The children who arrived this summer need to go home. We need to secure the borders and modernize legal immigration making it more efficient. Let’s bring people out of the shadows and resolve the problem of those who want to be here…legally. We can do all that!”

“Being a leader means making decisions. I’m ready to lead.”

“I’m proud to be on the ticket with all our candidates from top to bottom,” concluded Beauprez.

For more information about Bob Beauprez visit: www.bob beauprez.com and be sure to view Liberty’s Promise, his plan to protect freedom and constitutional rights.

mmediately following the Cherry Creek Republican Women’s monthly meeting, guests (many of whom were not at CCRW) gathered in a private conference room at Glenmoor Country Club in Cherry Hills Village for an up close and personal visit with Republican gubernatorial hopeful Bob Beauprez and his wife Claudia. It was an informal environment where Beauprez was complimented on his concise and easy to understand conservative views on various issues, plans and agenda and willingness to thoughtfully and candidly answer questions – a major flaw with his opponent Gov. John Hickenlooper is that he avoids taking a stance, making hard decisions and directly answering many specific questions.

He was also complimented on his choice of running mate for Lt. Governor – Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella.

National MS Society ‘On the Move’ Luncheon draws army of MS research backers

By Glory Weisberg ultiple Sclerosis, which strikes at anyone age 11 months or older, is worse locally than elsewhere in the U.S. and the reason continues to allude researchers.

These dedicated men and women have come up with 11 new drugs to fight the disease and many living MS patients remember what life was like back when there were no drugs to treat it.

The MS On The Move Luncheon, a fundraiser for the National MS Society Colorado-

M

Wyoming Chapter, filled the Grand Hyatt main ballroom with men and women aiming to increase research and improve the lives of those fighting the disease.

Chapter CEO Carrie Nolan noted the progress made on MS, using funds not only from pharmaceutical firms, but from supporters as well.

There are nine research studies located in Colorado, part of 325 National MS Society research projects worldwide.

The On the Move Luncheon featured Kristie Salerno Kent, stricken with MS in 1999 when she

Whit and Margy Conant with Suellen and Travis White

David Alexander, Sue Simos and Carrie Nolan

was in college.

“I started getting tingling in my fingers, my legs felt really heavy and one morning I woke up and couldn’t feel my legs at all,” she said.

Following that she had an MRI and was formally diagnosed with MS but “I pretended I was OK, then I collapsed and went to doctor after doctor.” The same diagnosis came back and “I realized I couldn’t stay in denial. In the MRI, I decided I wanted to be the director of my MS,” she said, realizing that maybe wanting to be Wonder Woman wouldn’t work. She went on to record, Believe, and also produced

and directed The Show Must Go On, a short documentary.

She is now the young mother of a 5-year-old and a 2-year-old, and she was on her feet as she gave her talk to MS supporters.

“My journey now is about my family,” she said, noting that she was planning her wedding when the MS hit, giving her fiancé an out if he chose to. Not a chance, and here she was, a motivating speaker if ever there was one.

Dick and Robin Kelly were honored with the MS Spirit Award. Robin was diagnosed with MS in 2006. The couple

serves as co-chairs of Can Do Multiple Sclerosis. Dick was chairman and CEO of Xcel Energy for six years, retiring in 2011. He is now Regis University board chairman. Robin is on the Arrupe Jesuit High School board and has numerous local nonprofit positions.

David Alexander, Paige Burkeholder, Daya Haddock, Melissa Hart, Katy Spritzer, Ellen Petrilla, Claudia Curry Hills, Sarah Davis and Pam Donley were on the luncheon committee.

Etiquette

An email from a reader asked how to respond to a messy wedding situation. A stepson is getting married for the second time and a reader’s elderly parents got a savethe-date card for the wedding, which is thousands of miles away and they can’t make it to the wedding. Since

the parents can’t be there, do they need to send another gift to this remarrying relative?

My advice is to go ahead and send a token gift just to keep the somewhat already touchy relationship from deteriorating further.

I would get a chain store gift card for less than $100 to save on packaging and mailing. If there is an online wedding registry, pick an item in the elderly parents’ budget and send it on through the department store so the folks don’t have to even buy a wedding card.

Some people just don’t like wedding or other registries and if that’s the case, go to the department store physically or visit the store’s website and select something that’s not going to break the bank, won’t break in transit but is unique.

Think table linens or small kitchen appliances that have a gift card included so the couple can exchange the item at their location if they don’t want it.

Send your etiquette questions or concerns to my email and please, try to let us use your name in print, although it’s not mandatory. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Putting the brakes on the Littleton Criterium?

Downtown merchants say bike race hurts business

By Peter Jones Despite attracting approximately 3,000 spectators and generating about $10,000 in charity beer sales, the Littleton Twilight Criterium may need some air in the tires.

The Sept. 3 meeting of Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, Becky Motchan, the city’s marketing and events manager, described the second annual bicycle race, held in downtown Littleton on Saturday, Aug. 9, as a learning experience.

“During the day, it was slow.

We know that,” she told neighborhood business leaders. “We need to have more activities during the day to keep people downtown, and next year, if we do this … we may come up with new activities for people.”

Motchan’s use of the word “if” may be telling if some downtown merchants have anything to say about it. Although HDLM President Greg Reinke says he had tried to talk the city into organizing more entertainment around the race, some business leaders now question if even a better attended race could be considered a success.

“All the food and beverage service people did OK … but the retailers are the ones who are suffering,” said Reinke, owner of Reinke Bros. costume store. “I don’t know if there’s a happy medium. … As a body of people here, we have to listen to what all the merchants are saying and sometimes an event may not be a good event to have.”

Susan Burgstiner, of Main Street’s Marketing on Demand, said many of her neighbors suffered from the closed streets and limited parking on one of the busiest days for shopping in the neighborhood. Burgstiner said she had recently surveyed local merchants by email, and though only 15 of the nearly 80 downtown businesses had responded thus far, she said the message already seemed clear.

“Out of the 15, 13 said you’re killing us. Their sales were down 40 to 75 percent,” Burgstiner told Motchan. “They do not see it as a benefit on a Saturday. … A lot of the comments were also that the [cus-

We could do [the race on] Sunday, but then we’d lose U.S.A. Cycling buy-in.

- Becky Motchan, Littleton event planner tomers] that actually did come in and usually come in could care less about the race.”

The view was echoed by others, including Erma Pacheco, owner of Main Street’s Colorado Center for Physical Therapy.

“Out of about 65 people that usually come in on a Saturday for us … probably 15 made it because either they couldn’t get through the traffic, they couldn’t find parking or they couldn’t walk that far,” she said. “…

Our profit margin is so narrow that it’s a killer.”

While Motchan said the city would consider offering shuttle service and golf carts to help facilitate customers visiting area merchants during future criteriums, she said taking the event off Saturday would cost the race an official sanction from U.S.A. Cycling, which does not allow Sunday races. According to Motchan, such placement on the national cycling calendar has significant benefits.

“With that comes big sponsors, people traveling in from out of town,” she said. “It would be an incentive for people to come down here, fly here, stay here, shop here, eat here, the whole bit. … We could do Sunday, but then we’d lose U.S.A. Cycling buy-in. We’ve met with them a couple times and this is what they do.”

The national policy-based answer seemed arbitrary to some and prompted anger from Tina Witham, owner of Main Street’s Lido wine store.

“Which is more important – U.S.A. Cycling or downtown merchants?” she asked. “… You bring in a national audience from Broomfield, Arvada, Parker and Aurora and

they’re not going to come back and buy tea or wine or physical therapy.”

As one concession, Witham said the criterium would likely be moved out of Western Welcome Week next year to avoid placing the race too close to that event’s Saturday grand parade, which also drives traffic – for good or bad – to the downtown area.

Increased advance notice could also be provided to merchants, she said.

Not all HDLM members were opposed to the criterium’s presence in the neighborhood. Al Oramas, owner of Pro Auto Care on nearby South Dahlia Street, said he supports the event, though his business is sev-

eral blocks from Main Street.

“I bought property in Littleton because of the events. I really like

S U C C E S S F U L

what’s happening,” he said. “… I like the event. There’s got to be a fix to it.”

Burgstiner said if the city were unwilling to move the event – to a Sunday or off Main Street entirely – the options for such improvement would be limited.

“I’m not sure you can fix that,” she said, “… unless you come up with some type of share that compensates all these people that are losing hard dollars.”

Motchan said the next criterium is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, July 18, 2015, though she stressed the date could easily change.

Denver social media marketing group celebrates 5th birthday Just a few months after the realworld advent of social media marketing, Denver marketing agency Webolutions founded a Denver social media marketing Meetup group.

On Friday, Sept. 19, that group, Social Marketing for Business – Join the Conversation!, celebrates its fifth birthday.

With nearly 1,400 online members, the group has grown to be the largest in the Rocky Mountain region and one of the largest in the entire world. On average, approximately 50 business owners and marketers attend the monthly events at the South Metro Denver Chamber.

Many participate in ongoing online conversations on the group’s Facebook page, Google+ community and on Twitter using the group’s Hashtag #SMGDenver. The group has also experimented with Google Hangouts.

Meetings are held 7:30– 9 a.m. on the third Friday of each month with exceptions: There is no meeting in November and the holiday-themed December event that traditionally highlights member businesses with promotional giveaways, is held on the first Friday of that month. A typical agenda includes professional networking followed by moderated discussion on a predetermined topic.

The group breaks out into “Speed Tips Groups” in which attendees share tactical knowledge about changes and opportunities in Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest, YouTube and mobile apps.

Occasionally, the group entertains subject matter experts as guest speakers. In August 2013, for example, the group hosted a question and answer session with Darren Kanthal, program manager of Talent Acquisition at Charles Schwab, for its discussion on social media’s role in winning the war for talent and how successful hiring managers are using social media as a qualifier and

The overarching goal of the group is to help its members realize measureable return on investment from social media marketing. The topic for September is Social Media’s Role in Increasing Customer Satisfaction. That week, Webolutions plans to unveil graphic design brand elements it has created for the group.

Social Marketing for Business – Join the Conversation! is sponsored

by Denver marketing agency Webolutions, the South Metro Denver Chamber and Conversation Starters Public Relations. Breakfast is provided at no cost to attendees by My Favorite Muffin, Peet’s Coffee SouthGlenn and the group’s newest sponsor, Whole Foods SouthGlenn.

Everyone is welcome and there is no cost to attend.

“Five years ago, we set out to create a group that functioned like a social network,” said group founder and Webolutions CEO John Vachalek. “We continue to strive to provide value to attendees, expand our reach and engage our community. We hope our sixth year bring new faces and perspectives to our ongoing conversation.”

For information about the group, contact Webolutions Director of New Media Strategies Mike Hanbery at 303-300-2640 or Mhanbery@Webolutions.com.

A zucchini takes flight Local woman’s entry squashes the competition

By Peter Jones When readers of The Villager make good, the newspaper strives to bring credit where credit is due – even when a zucchini is involved.

Last month, Deanna Urs of Parker and her friend Pat Freytag took first place in the annual Sonoma Zucchini Races in northern California.

“It’s like soapbox racing for zucchinis,” Urs explained, in a response that raised more questions than answers.

As it happens, Sonoma may be the center of the California wine industry, but the city is also the lesserknown home to a world-class marathon of speedy summer squash.

Every August, the farmers market at Sonoma City Hall welcomes a competition that attracts zucchini from across the United States and internationally. Each year, about 50 courageous courgettes are judged for Best in Show in three size categories before lining up at the starting gate and making a go at the 15-foot-or-so racetrack.

Although Urs’s 2014 zucchiniinjected airplane stalled at the starting gate, the musical Jet-pink Sonoma Flyer was a favorite among judges and the audience for creativity and took an overall first prize among winners in the three categories.

“It had dry ice in the tailpipe so it had smoke coming out of it,” Urs said, citing some of the Flyer’s

onboard features. “It played ‘Come Fly With Me’ and had landing lights and a light in the cockpit. On the back, we have a crate of vintage cabernet.”

The single-engine plane was piloted by a Weeble, who has yet to fall down.

This was not the first year that Urs and her partner have taken home the green – a grand prize of free vegetables, that is. The Parker resident has been the victor in at least one category in the three out of the four years she has competed in the Zucchini Races.

Her “Old Woman in the Shoe” entry had a bit of a rough landing, however.

“She crashed. The house flew off. Children were flying everywhere off the raceway. It was fun.

It took 17 hours to make,” Urs said.

It was not as much fun a different year when Urs realized, at the last minute, that her entry – a racecar that particular year – was not a zucchini at all, but a cucumber.

“I’m not a gardener,” she admitted with some embarrassment.

Finding herself in a pickle, but not one to give up, Urs ran out to get a zucchini and quickly attached it to the cucumber’s driver’s seat.

“We said the cucumber was along for the ride. It won first place in most creative,” she said.

Urs plans to continue her tradition of making a pilgrimage to Sonoma every August – win, lose or draw on that grand prize of free vegetables.

“We drink a lot of wine in the meantime,” she said.

Dry ice in the tailpipe produced smoke as the Sonoma Flyer played “Come Fly With Me” and carried a crate of vintage cabernet.

Deanna Urs took first place in this year’s Sonoma Zucchini Races in northern California.

The competition attracts decorative zucchini for Best in Show contests and a trip down the racetrack.

GOP flocks to new ViewHouse

By Bob Sweeney Centennial’s new Viewhouse restaurant, managed by former Cool River manager Joe Madril, was the site of a flood of Republicans to launch the new Arapahoe County Republican Breakfast Club.

Newly appointed President Mryon Spanier served as chairman and welcomed the group of 100 plus to the new organization and location. There was standing room only as Republicans came out in mass to support the new organization.

The Arapahoe County Republican Men’s Club called it “quits” in August and decided to change from weekly to monthly, move from Garcia’s to the new ViewHouse location at the site of the former Trail Dust building on Clinton Street, and to take the male label off of the 37-year-old club.

Spanier hailed Mort Marks for founding the club, along with Littleton’s Dick Dittemore and elected official Jim Reeves.

World War II veteran Mort Marks and Edie were centerstage and Mort told one of his famous jokes at the conclusion of the Wednesday morning meeting.

Approaching his 90th birthday, The Villager columnist has written his opinions and jokes for the past 30 years, winning numerous awards.

The new club hosted headliners Congressman Mike Coffman and gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez.

Congressman Coffman, no stranger to the organization, spoke very briefly. Coffman has lived in Aurora his entire life, serving in the legislature and as state treasurer prior to being elected to Congress.

His colleagues have witnessed his two tours of active duty as a Marine in Iraq.

Coffman observed that he is facing a handpicked candidate, selected by Nancy Pelosi, who moved into his district to run against him.

He asked for support saying, “Let’s fight, and let’s win.”

Candidate Bob Beauprez commented on the early morning traffic and observed that that was something a good governor could do something about.

Addressing renewable energy, he related that the people in western Colorado were outraged over the governor’s new renewable energy requirements and that he had signed the bill into law over the objections of Western Slope citizens who told him, “Don’t do it.”

Beauprez spoke about the negative impact on the coal industry in western and northwestern Colorado from the governor’s energy policies. He believes that Colorado’s high-quality coal is a very efficient source of energy.

“We should celebrate the coal industry, not punish it,” he said.

Beauprez pledged that on his first day in office he would issue an executive order freezing all nonessential regulations and begin a review of state agencies and their functions. He described government regulations as a heavy load around the neck of business with more than 969 state regulations in effect.

“I will open the state for business again,” he said.

Lastly, he stressed the importance of public safety and that this was a major leadership role for a governor.

Retired Navy SEAL holds Inaugural Mask Project Luncheon guests spellbound

By Glory Weisberg Marcus Luttrell is a decorated former Navy SEAL and he tells a spellbinding tale of his service in Afghanistan and Iraq, a tale also told in his book, Service, A Navy SEAL at War. He was brought to Denver as the keynote speaker at the Inaugural Mask Project Luncheon for The Denver Hospice and his words on stage earned him a standing ovation.

The Grand Hyatt main ballroom was packed to the walls with supporters who hung on Luttrell’s every word.

This is his second book, the first, Lone Survivor, was a national bestseller, and for good reason, as he was actually the lone survivor of a five SEAL effort to capture a member of Osama bin Laden’s camp. The actual story could only be told publicly after it was declassified and a movie, Lone Survivor, followed this past January, as well. He was first approached to tell his story, he said, while he was still hospitalized after Operation Redwing that took place on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The war hero is from a Texas family going back five generations of U.S. military service and his identical twin is also a SEAL. “Being a Navy SEAL is not a fun job and I’ve been shot at numerous times,” he said.

Thirty percent of Denver Hospice patients are U.S. veterans.

This Inaugural Mask Project Luncheon kickoff brought attention to the masks that will be on display at The Cherry Creek Shopping Center through Oct. 5, billed as “An Unconventional Art Exhibit and Auction.” This year, instead of a gala, they opted for a kickoff luncheon, which was an amazingly great success.

The Denver Hospice has Level 4 status in the “We Honor Veterans” Campaign.

‘Super Bowl’ of scholastic cross country

By Tom Barry Littleton’s Heritage High School hosted its 37th annual Liberty Bell cross country meet Sept. 12, attracting around 3,000 runners from 93 schools and more than 10,000 spectators.

Runners from Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas and Wyoming look forward to the event each year, said Brock Becker, Heritage’s assistant principal and athletic director. He believes this to be the biggest race of its kind in the state.

“For a lot of the runners this [is] the event they look forward to for the entire season. This is their Super Bowl,” Becker said. “It’s a really neat event for our community to host. We work hard to host the Liberty Bell every year.

It’s amazing.”

Saucony was the primary sponsor for this year’s event, providing some specialized shoes.

“Each runner this year wore a chip on their shoe, and that chip

would keep track of their time. So when they crossed the finish line, the computer would record it for us,” Becker said of new Saucony technology.

Sponsor Runner’s Roost provided school fencing and assisted with the extensive finish-line process. The Littleton Police Department and the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority coordinated activities to lessen the impact on the community and control traffic.

The two races commenced in the late afternoon. The boys and girls teams were evenly split and ran along the Lee Gulch adjacent the school. The somewhat cool weather provided ideal conditions for the 3.1 mile/5K course with fans lining much of the stretch.

The event required 75 volunteers, including school staff, students, community members and retired coaches.

Heritage’s boys placed 5th and the girls came in 13th.

Littleton High School’s boys came in at 14th place with the girls finishing in 17th.

Submitted by Englewood Schools Englewood looks to its TCAP scores for signs of growth. As any school district knows, TCAP scores offer two types of data: achievement and growth. Achievement represents the percentage of students scoring proficient or advanced on the assessment. Growth represents the amount students improved in a certain subject area from the year before. Growth should not be confused with a change in proficiency, which really does not represent how much students have grown.

Analyzing growth becomes extremely important for all schools, and especially for schools where students who, for whatever reason, need to “catch-up” before they reach proficiency. For Englewood, growth is how success is measured until such time greater levels of proficiency are achieved. Where there are consistent positive indicators for growth each year, there are good indicators that proficiency will ultimately increase.

Although the district is seeing some positive indicators in terms of growth, especially in reading, Englewood Schools is not content

with student proficiency results in reading, writing and math. Much of the growth in reading is attributed to a consistent implementation of the Reading Plus program with our students who are significantly behind in terms of reading proficiency, along with focused professional development over the past year in reading for teachers. Englewood’s focus this school year will be in continuing professional development support for teachers in math and writing, particularly around the change in rigor related to the new Common Core State Standards.

Upon reflection of the 2014 TCAP results, Superintendent of Englewood Schools Brian Ewert said, “While we are pleased with TCAP growth scores, especially in reading, we have been challenged with providing enough instructional time to students to significantly increase student achievement levels. This year, we have increased learning time for students at two of our schools, Bishop Elementary and Englewood Middle School, thereby providing students with extra time that is necessary for them to excel at an even faster rate. We hope to be able to implement additional instruction time district wide in the next few years.”

Parental tips for assisting college-planning seniors Kevin Iverson

COLLEGE PLANNING: Searching for solutions

By Estelle Meskin

Dear Estelle. How do parents navigate that fine line between being too intrusive or not involved enough when assisting their juniors and seniors as they tackle the college admissions process? Like a typical 17-year-old, our daughter Emily, a high school senior, thinks she knows everything and if she doesn’t her friends do. We have had a good relationship throughout Emily’s teen years and feel she could use our input when she takes this major step in her life. What do you recommend to make this important time less frenzied, productive, and relationship-enduring for all of us?

Dear Readers. Several years ago I addressed this topic and now, with a few modifications think it’s as relevant to seniors and their parents as it was before. Each year a new cohort of this population enters their senior year and prepares for college

and their anxious parents are eager SCHOOL MATTERS to help.

This is an important time in your child’s life as he or she seeks independence and becomes an adult.

Planning for college is an ideal way for your son or daughter to begin this process. Here are some tips to make this time more beneficial for both of you.

• Do not direct. Let her take ownership of the college process. Most of the time the student makes the right choice.

FindBaenen a comfortable

By Judith St. Mary’s Academy place between running the college search process and remaining at a comfortable distance. Recent research on “helicopter” parents indicates that their children were more likely to be dependent on others, engage in poor coping strategies and lack the soft skills such as responsibility and conscientiousness which employers value. It also concluded that these students are becoming an increasing issue in colleges.

• Be supportive and caring.

Don’t be a nag.

• Listen to what she’s saying and what she’s not saying. Often fears are not verbalized. Starting this new stage in her life can be scary. *Set limits at the beginning of the planning process that are important to you i.e. cost, distance, etc. so there are no surprises. If you have not discussed your financial circumstances with your child, now is a good time to do that. If you absolutely are unable to exceed a specific limit in your financial support, let her know this.

By Chuck Green

It may be important to seek financial aid if she wants to go beyond what you are able to provide. Most students require financial aid to attend college.

• Look for the “right fit” in colleges. There are many colleges that would be appropriate options but the right chemistry is important. Help your child understand who she really is. What are her values? How has she changed throughout the high school years?

By Jim Miller • Communicate.

Don’t let days go by without some good quality conversation. This is a time of much stress in her life and sharing information and feelings will benefit her and your whole family.

• Parents should be in charge of financial aid forms and students in charge of their college applications.

As parents you should be conversant with all types of available financial aid so you can take advantage of it.

All colleges accept the FAFSA and many require a form called The Profile which can be found on the College Board website.

• Try to maintain a sense of humor.

• Be honest about your aspirations for your child. Your expectations may exceed reality and conversely your child’s aspirations may exceed what she can achieve.

• Be optimistic. Celebrate your child’s accomplishments. There’s nothing better to boost an ego to remind them occasionally of what they’ve done.

Keep cool – and warm – with free weatherization

Submitted by Arapahoe County While there have been record high temperatures this summer, Coloradoans know that when it comes to the weather, if you wait five minutes, it will change.

No matter what the weather, the Arapahoe County Weatherization Division, in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office, can help beat the summer heat and the winter cold with free weatherization services that help make homes more energy-efficient and comfortable for low-income households in Arapahoe and Adams counties.

Weatherization involves installing energy-efficiency upgrades that can help keep the indoor temperature more consistent, reduce energy waste and lower monthly utility

bills. These services are available to low-income households earning up to 200 percent of the federal poverty guideline ($3,975 gross per month for a family of four).

“We want to continue to help citizens save money where they can,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Bill Holen said. “Energy-efficiency measures will benefit you and your family year after year and keep the heat outside while maintaining your home at a more consistent, comfortable temperature.”

Each home receives a free homeenergy audit to determine what energy-saving services the home needs.

Qualified energy auditors also perform health and safety tests on the combustion appliances to ensure they are operating safely. Based on the home energy audit, free weather-

ization services may include adding insulation to the attic, walls, and/or crawl space; sealing major air leaks; installing high-efficiency compact fluorescent light bulbs; and, making necessary repairs to furnaces and water heaters.

Weatherization assistance is available to single-family homes, mobile homes, and multi-family units. Applicants may rent or own their homes. Arapahoe County’s Weatherization Division has been providing energy-conservation services for more than 30 years and has weatherized 5,354 homes since 2009.

For more information or to apply for weatherization services, call 303636-1982 or visit www.arapahoe gov.com.

County seeks citizens to serve on Cultural Council The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners is seeking applications from residents who are interested in serving on the Cultural Council.

The Cultural Council is responsible for distributing funding from the metro-wide Scientific and Cultural Facilities District sales tax to qualified nonprofit organizations and local governments. The council prepares a recommended distribution plan and forwards the recommendations to the Board of Commissioners for review, ratification and submittal to the SCFD Board of Directors for final funding approval.

Cultural Council appointments and reappointments will be made in November. Arapahoe County is seeking one representative each from Aurora, Centennial, unincorporated Arapahoe County and other cities.

Interested candidates should be aware that in addition to regular meetings, the months of April and May require intensive participation (one meeting per week for six or seven weeks) by members, as all funding applications must be read and evaluated, followed by in-person interviews between the Cultural Council and the applicants.

Qualified applicants must reside or own property in Arapahoe County and must reside in the city or cities where representation is needed. The application deadline is Sept. 30.

To fill out an online application, visit www.arapahoegov.com and go

to Government > Citizen Boards and Committees. Applications also are available at the Commissioners’ office in the administration building,

5334 S. Prince St. in Littleton. For more information or to have an application mailed or faxed to you, call Carol Dosmann at 303-795-4531.

Arapahoe Library District: ‘Libraries Rock!’

Events to focus on changing 21st century institution In recent years, libraries have changed into dynamic centers for engagement to accommodate the growing needs of their local communities. Of course, there are still books, but now there’s so much more – including 3D printers, recording studios and videostreaming services. There are woodworking classes and seed libraries. There is personalized job-search help and co-working spaces. There are GoPro cameras, iPads, Google Glass, green screens, “makerspaces” and more.

To celebrate all that libraries have to offer, the Arapahoe Library District invites the community to experience the library in a whole new way with a special event – Libraries Rock! – on Saturday, Sept. 20, 5-8 p.m. at Centennial Center Park, 13050 E. Peakview Ave. Libraries Rock! will feature local food trucks, as well as preconcert entertainment from 5-6 p.m., including demonstrations of the latest technology and library offerings, a performance from the Taiko with Toni drummers, face painting, a bubble machine, a stilt walker and much more.

A few days before Matt Shwayder started his freshman year at Arizona State University, he got a phone call from David Rowe, his former English teacher at Cherry Creek High School.

“He called me Sunday night just to check in and see how I was doing,” said Shwayder, who graduated from Creek last May. “He has shown a genuine interest in my life both in and out of the classroom. That’s just the type of person he is.”

So it’s no surprise that Shwayder nominated Rowe for the 2014 KBCO Radio Teacher of the Year Award, which recognizes teachers who’ve had a positive impact on their students’ lives. Rowe won the award, which came with an $18,000 scholarship to CSU Global, the online campus of Colorado State University.

“It’s so exciting and the opportunity to continue learning is wonderful,” said Rowe, who is now pursuing a master’s degree in teaching and learning through CSU Global.

He just finished his first eightweek course, called “Learning Theories and Models of Instruction.”

“I was writing one 10-page paper per week,” Rowe laughed.

Being able to empathize with

his students about homework and demonstrate his own love for learning are just two of the qualities that make Rowe an exceptional educator.

“He is an AMAZING teacher,” Shwayder said. “He keeps class fun, entertaining and interesting all at the same time. Overall he is just a remarkable person and the relationship and bond we share is something I wouldn’t give up for the world.”

Congratulations, David Rowe!

Mod Pizza opens, gives back

By Peter Jones The 20th Mod Pizza fast-casual restaurant in the United States, and the first to open in Colorado, debuted Sept. 11 in Centennial with a celebration and giveback to the community. The restaurant, located at 8225 S. Chester St. north of Park Meadows, gave 100 percent of its pizza sales on opening day to TLC Meals on Wheels of Arapahoe County.

“We looked for something that would make an impact on the community. It’s nice to do something to help seniors,” said storeowner Bob Merullo, who plans to open 24 more Mod Pizza stores across Colorado.

Mod Pizza also offered a free pizza to the first 52 customers in line.

“It’s Italian street pizza, kind of modeled after the pizza you’d find in Rome,” said Mod Pizza franchise partner Bob Merullo, who opened the first location in Colorado last week in Centennial with plans for 24 more.

Jeff Wasden of the South Metro Denver Chamber Board of Directors won’t be leaving empty handed.

No burritos here – that’s a pizza bar. Storeowner Bob Merullo surveys the toppings. Mod’s individual artisan-style pizzas – at fixed price of $7.27 – are made on demand, using organic fresh-pressed dough and any combination of 30 featured toppings. Pizzas are cooked in an 800-degree oven in less than three minutes
