City’s pot rules could go to voters Council to consider ballot question about commercial facilities By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Englewood City Council has delayed action on a ban on all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry in the city, and will consider placing a non-binding question before voters on the November ballot. A bill to prohibit the recreational marijuana industry was on the April 1 council agenda, and the council appeared split 3-3 on the issue. Those opposing the ban said Englewood residents voted overwhelming-

ly in favor of Amendment 64 to legalize recreational marijuana and the council should follow the will of the people. Those favoring the ban said it simply would not allow any retail element of the recreational marijuana industry to open in Englewood The option of putting a non-binding question on the 2013 ballot was suggested. After further discussion, council members voted 5-1 to table the ban proposal, in order to have the city attorney bring a draft advisory ballot question to the April 15 council meeting for discussion. Council Member Joe Jefferson voted against the delay because he wanted the issue decided in the April 1 meeting. Council Member Jill Wilson, who supported the ban at a March 18 study session, was absent from the regular council meeting.

The issue of banning the recreational marijuana industry came up at the March 18 session. By a consensus vote of 4-3, the council agreed to move forward with a proposal that would prohibit the establishment of marijuana cultivation facilities, marijuana product manufacturing facilities, retail marijuana stores, marijuana bars and marijuana testing facilities anywhere in Englewood. The proposed legislation would have no impact on the three medical marijuana stores located in the city. Jefferson objected to the proposal because 64.3 percent of Englewood residents voted in favor of Amendment 64. He raised the same issue at the April 1 meeting. In both discussions, Council Member Rick Gillit said many constituents in his district want no retail facilities in the city.

He said Amendment 64 allows people to possess less than an ounce of marijuana for private use and to grow marijuana in their homes as long as they comply with rules. The state constitutional provision also allows local governmental agencies to ban other recreational operations. On April 1, Jefferson, Mayor Randy Penn and Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward announced they opposed the proposed ban on the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood. Council Members Gillit and Linda Olson said they would vote for the ban, and Bob McCaslin had supported the ban at the study session. However, after lengthy discussion, five council members decided to put off action on the ban in order to explore the possibility of the November ballot issue.

School-finance bill advances Republican senators balk at $1 billion cost By Vic Vela

Several hundred children, 8 years old and younger, pushed past the tape when the air horn sounded at 10 a.m. March 30, signaling the start of Englewood’s rescheduled Great Egg Hunt. The ground was liberally covered with goodies and toys. Most children began scooping up goodies immediately close to the starting area, then moved farther out in the hunting ground. But 4-year-old Josh Hendley passed up candy, plastic eggs and toys as he raced to the fence to claim the inflatable baseball bat. It took volunteers hours to spread goodies and toys on the grassy area at Miller Field, but the young hunters claimed every available item in less than 20 minutes John Carpenter looked on as children from his extended family took part in the hunt. “This is a tradition for us,” the Englewood resident said. “My family, my sister’s family, several neighbors and my daughter’s family all get together for the egg

A bill that would lead to immense changes in how Colorado schools are financed passed the Democratic-controlled state Senate on April 2, following a partyline vote. Democrats see the “School Finance Act” as an opportunity to modernize an antiquated school finance formula, and to create a more equitable structure by which districts are funded. But Republicans argue that the 200-page bill does nothing to put in place the reforms that the state’s education system needs. And they cringe at the $1 billion price tag that accompanies it. Senate Bill 213 would fund full-day kindergarten, provide preschool for at-risk children, and would increase needs-based programs for special education and for students who are Report learning English. The bill also expands funding for students who are involved in gifted and talented programs at schools, and it gives school districts the opportunity to have extended school years and school days, if they choose to do so. In addition, the bill would make changes to per-student funding for school districts across the state. If the overhaul is implemented, it would result in the most sweeping change to the school finance formula that the state has seen in decades. “This is a once-in-a-generation chance to rewrite the way we fund the single largest, most complex and most important part of the state government, which is how we fund K-12 education,” said Sen. Mike Johnston, D-Denver, a bill sponsor, during an April 1 debate that preceded the final vote. Democrats believe the time has come to help school districts that have had to deal with years of budget cuts, ones that have left students and teachers trying to fend with limited resources. Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, said the five school districts in her district “absolutely will benefit from this new formula.” “There are schools that are desperately in need,” she said. “I don’t want to see education so poorly funded in Colorado, and this is one way to get there that is equal, but fair.” But Republicans slammed the bill as being loaded with bureaucracy and lacking

History whispers in Spanish place names The green road signs flash along Interstate 25, heading south. Pueblo, this exit. Cañon City, Salida, Buena Vista, that exit. About 50 miles south of Pueblo, you can head east on State Highway 10 to La Junta and Las Animas. A right on 160 west takes you into Huerfano County and along a thread of towns with names like La Veta, Blanca, Alamosa, Monte Vista, Del Norte. That’s the road my husband, our son and I are traveling to Durango in southwestern Colorado, not far from the New Mexico line, a region we are exploring for the first time. Along the way is a faded blue billboard that talks about Río Cucharas, the river that flows from La Veta to Walsenburg. What does that mean? my husband asks. Spoons River, I answer. He smiles. It’s a whimsical image — but one, I realize, that never gets painted unless you know the significance of the words. It makes me wonder: How much of place and culture gets lost in non-translation? So much of Colorado’s heritage is entwined in the Spanish names of its towns, rivers, mountain ranges, counties and streets — even the state itself (Colorado, red or colored). But throughout generations, we’ve Americanized their pronunciations so much — Salida becomes Sa-LIEdah rather than Sa-LEE-dah, which means exit — that we don’t recognize the language as Spanish anymore. They become, simply, words without definitions. And without meaning, the link to the past breaks. “For non-Hispanos, that connection has been lost in many ways,” said Bill Convery, Colorado’s state historian. “We lose a little bit of the richness of our culture when we forget the meaning of a place name. Understanding these meanings helps establish our own sense of place — it gives us grounding in our community which, as Americans, is constantly in flux.” For many Hispanos the connection

remains alive but fraught with emotional complexity, said Maruca Salazar, executive director of Museo de las Americas, a Denver organization committed to preserving Latin American art and culture. “Behind all of this, there is a very intense past,” she said. “The connection was not a friendly one — it was an imposition. … We come from a conquered nation, a conquered people. That makes us very unique.” Colorado has been home to many ethnic populations — Native Americans, the first, going back more than 10,000 years; French; Germans; Irish; and others. But the first and largest non-native group was the Hispanics. In the 1500s, Spanish expeditions followed Native American trails in a search for, among other things, gold. Spanish explorers drew the first maps of the state. The Arkansas River in Pueblo, south of Colorado Springs, marked the border between New Spain and the U.S. When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, it offered land grants to reinforce land claims against encroaching U.S. settlers. But following the Mexican-American War in 1848, in which a number of southwestern states including New Mexico, California and southern and western Colorado were ceded to the U.S. for $15 million, many landowners were stripped of their property by U.S. courts. A battle for identity ensued. “Imagine going to bed Mexican and waking up American,” Salazar said, quot-

APRIL WATER MAIN FLUSHING PROGRAM The City of Englewood Utilities Department will be conducting its annual fire hydrant flushing program starting the week of April 15th at 7:00 a.m. During this week, the water mains throughout the entire City will be flushed between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. In order to clean residue and sediments from the mains, the Water Distribution crews will be isolating sections of pipe by shutting off the valves to connecting pipes, then opening the fire hydrant on the main to full volume. The resulting surge of water flushes mineral accumulations from the pipe. As the rushing water forces the minerals from the mains, it may force small amounts into the connecting service lines. Residents should be aware, therefore, that one or more days during the week of April 16th they might experience a flow of brown water from their taps. They should then turn on their cold water only until the taps are flowing clear. Because of the nature of the project and the limited time available to complete it, crews will be unable to provide prior notification of their daily schedules. Residents are advised to check their cold water daily during the week of April 16th to determine if their systems have been affected by the flushing.

ing her mother-in-law, whose family has been in Colorado for seven generations. “Imagine losing your land. …” The railroads in the 1870s also transformed the region. The Denver & Río Grande Railroad wanted to reach Mexico and the Gulf Coast across the Río Grande (big river), so it included the river in its name to appeal to its continental aspirations. It established towns such as Alamosa (cottonwood) and Antonito (little Anthony) to compete with older Hispanic settlements, Convery said. But the railroads also pushed many Spanish-speaking farmers and ranchers into the northern parts of the state as English-speaking settlers moved in and changed the economic and political landscapes. They left behind, however, an enduring trail of history in places, traditions and influence. Many of the names that dot the southwestern part of the state, such as Barela and Cordova, come from the families that first settled the area. Conejos County is one of Convery’s favorite stories. The county moniker, which means rabbits, came from the naming of the creek, so billed in the 1850s because its waters “ran as fast as a rabbit.” Huerfano County comes from the volcanic butte that stands as a lonely sentinel — a huérfano or orphan — on the plains near Walsenburg. It was a major landmark for Hispanics traveling through the area, Convery said. The tiny town of Del Norte (from the North) got its name as the northern end of the Río Grande. Franciscan monks, following the Spaniards who named the San Luis (Saint Louis) Valley, watched the summer sunlight turn the earth of the nearby mountains a deep red. “It looks like blood,” Salazar said. “That’s what the Franciscans saw.” And so they called the range Sangre de Cristo, the blood of Christ.

French and Germans also left their marks. Walsenburg was initially La Plaza de los Leones after the León family, but was renamed by the German immigrant Fred Walsen. The French decided to call Río Jesús María (River of Jesus and Mary) the Platte (flat — a pronunciation from French) instead. Spanish explorers named the river near Durango Las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio (the lost souls of Purgatory). But French-Canadian traders called it Purgatoire, and later, Convery said, American cattlemen rechristened it Picketwire. Three different names — all reflective of the changing nature of history around the river. Like all names, they are stories that tell us how we got here. But we have to listen — and sometimes that means making the effort to translate. “Understanding the meaning and history of a place,” Convery said, “grounds us and helps us establish that we belong.” “Identity is an essential element of your psyche,” Salazar said. When “I know where I come from, I know what my values are.” As I scan a map of Colorado, poetic names jump at me — Dolores River, the river of sorrows. La Junta, the junction. Las Animas, the souls. What stories, I wonder, lie hidden in their names? And then there’s Mosca, a town of 674 people in the San Juan Valley whose name means fly. “I don’t know why it’s called Mosca,” Convery said. “But there’s got to be a story behind it.” One, assuredly, that gives meaning to life in Colorado today.

Officials work on school-violence plan Police, educators train for possibility By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood police and school district officials continue working together to update and upgrade the 10-year-old plan titled “Strategic Response to Violence in Schools.” “The work has intensified the past year to make sure the police and fire departments have the key information on every public and private school in the community,” Police Commander Gary Condreay said. “We now have detailed maps and upto-date evacuation plans for each of the buildings.”

He said that not all the work is done on paper. For example, about 80 police department and Englewood schools personnel attended an active shooter training program put on by members of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. “This was a training session on the response to a shooter in a school,” Condreay said. “It included information on the difference between a lockdown and a lockout and how to conduct a school evacuation.” A follow-up to the training session will be a practice school evacuation in the near future, the police commander said. “Also we are planning a major active shooter exercise later this year,” Condreay said. “It will involve our police and fire de-

partments, the school district as well as TriCounty Health and first responders from several neighboring jurisdictions.” He said that event will test to see if the plan works and also to make sure all agencies can communicate in case of an emergency. Brian Ewert, school superintendent, said the training for faculty and administrators has been done very well. “I am very pleased with the strong relationship we in the schools have with the all the City of Englewood departments. I am particularly pleased with how well we work in concert with the police,” he said. “We don’t like to think about it, but we need to go through this training so, if the unthinkable happens, our people will be as prepared as possible so they know where to go and what actions to take.”

All the training has been done locally so far, but a federal grant will allow about 10 people from Englewood to attend a weeklong program in Maryland put on by the Federal Emergency Management Agency called “Multi-Hazard Emergency Planning for Schools.” Condreay, school resource officer Tom Rowley and Steve Green, fire department training coordinator, will join several school district representatives attending the training. “We are excited for the more in-depth training our people will receive at the upcoming FEMA session,” the school superintendent said. “I am sure it will provide valuable training and this may be the first time in the history of our schools that district personnel will be attending at this type of program.”

his pocket and a number of weapons in his car. Police dispatch was called about 6:50 a.m. March 23, reporting there was a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot in the 3000 block of South Broadway. When officer arrived, they found a 27-year-old man in the vehicle. The officers got permission to a pat-down, but then the man tried to pull away. The officers held the man and, during the search, they found the man had black tar heroin in his pocket. Police then searched the car and found a loaded semi-automatic 9mm pistol, two extra loaded magazines, a machete, two hunting knives and several bindles of pre-packaged

heroin. An Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Department Impact Team detective responded and the male was booked into the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and, since he had prior drug conviction, he also could face charges of possession of a weapon by a previous offender.

When officers arrested the 24-year-old man and searched him, they found he was carrying powder that tested positive for heroin as well as drug paraphernalia. The man was medically cleared and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Also, Littleton had issued a warrant for his arrest on unrelated charges.

Water main flushing planned Annual project set for April 15-19 By Tom Munds

LOCAL ADS, COUPONS, SPECIAL OFFERS & MORE ShopLocalColorado.com

The Englewood Utilities Department will conduct its annual water main flushing project from April 15 to 19. Utility department crews will work daily from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., moving from block to block, until all the city’s water mains have been flushed. The flushing is done by shutting off valves to isolate a block-long section of the main and opening the fire hydrant attached to that section of the main. The water rushes out of the hydrant at about 1,500 cubic feet per minute. Usually, the hydrant is allowed to run for about five minutes so the rush of water flushes out the mineral deposits.that accumulated in the water mains during the fall and winter when water flow is low.

Because of the nature of the project, crews cannot notify residents when work will be done in their areas. So, residents are asked to check the color of their cold water daily for a brownish tint during the days required to flush all the mains. The recommendation is to run only the cold water because running the hot water will draw the brownish water into the hot water system, where it is much more difficult to flush discolored water. According to the utility department, discoloration in the water isn’t dangerous but the department doesn’t recommend drinking it because it may not taste all that great. In the past, residents have accidentally used discolored water to do the laundry and found it stained light-colored clothes. If that happens, residents can pick up a product called Red-B-Gone at the city utility office on the third floor of the Englewood Civic Center. The stain remover is provided free of charge.

“Once the closing is complete, work can move forward. However, it will take time to complete the environmental remediation work inside the building, which could take a month or so. Our hope is demolition work on the building will begin in mid- to late May.” The district sold the Flood building and site for slightly more than $1.8 million. The school district will receive $50,000 at closing and the remainder by Dec. 31. Flood Middle School is located at 3695 S. Lincoln St. The building was constructed in 1920 to house the middle school and high school until Englewood High School was built in 1951. The school district made the decision in 2009 to move all Flood students to Sinclair Middle School, which was renamed Englewood Middle School. At the same time, the school board decided to put the 4.4-acre Flood site up for sale. The property includes the 109,000square-foot school building that fronts on Broadway for almost two blocks as well as a sizable, grass-covered lot to the east across Lincoln Street.

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com For the eighth month in a row, the Englewood City Council received a favorable financial report. Finance Director Frank Gryglewicz delivered his monthly report at the city council’s March 28 study session, detailing the trends in revenue collections and spending and comparing that data to reports for the same month a year earlier. “We continue to see increases in revenue collections over the same month last year and overall, 2012 was a pretty good year,” he told the council. “At the same time, the cost of operating the city is about what was

forecast.” Englewood collected about $6.4 million in revenues through the end of February, which is $266,278 or 4.3 percent more than the same period in 2012. Council Member Linda Olson asked if the city is beginning to receive revenues from the Kent Place development. Gryglewicz said the February revenues are about $31,517 and if that collection rate continues, the development could provide about $190,000 in sales tax revenue to the city for 2013. The finance director noted that the 2013 budget forecast did not include any estimated revenues from Kent Place. One financial area that continues to suffer is the amount of interest the city receives on its investments. Gryglewicz said the city earned about $540,000 in interest income in 2008. Last year, the interest income was about $84,000.

opinions / yours and ours

Some friends are always there for you Three of my best friends are appliances. The washing machine, the dryer, and the dishwasher. I have thought about this. They’re dependable, focused, and they’re always on time. They leave me alone when I want to be left alone, and when I need them, they are Johnny-on-the-spot, especially the washing machine. I do a good job of spotting my shirts with salad dressing, and the washing machine is always on standby. I can call on them any time of day or night I look forward to doing my laundry, and I look forward to doing my dishes. But it wasn’t always this way. When I went away to college and got my first apartment, I didn’t have any appliances, other than a hot plate, and a refrigerator that sounded like Charles Laughton. I hand-washed the dishes. And I had to take all of my laundry to something called a laundromat, also called “washaterias.” The laundromats were uniformly heinous. If you’ve ever had to use one, you know what I mean. I could spend half of my column allowance on laundromats, but please

do me a favor, and just reminisce about them, so I can get back to my three friends. Hand-washing the dishes wasn’t much fun, so the pots and pans and plates waited on the tarmac, sometimes for days. I will admit to weeks. I would just rinse what I needed. Not any more. I run the dishwasher about every other day. And the washer and dryer too. I like to do laundry. Thundercats, I’ll do yours. I am going to try my best to explain this. I am not always dependable, focused, and on time. I miss the off ramp. The signs say “push” and I pull. Like Dave Mathews said, I “fall aside, stumbling down drunken roads, I find myself more and more mistak-

Should James Holmes face the death penalty? day, we asked people at Aspen Grove shopping center in Littleton how they felt about that.

“It’s not like jail is such a luxurious place … Killing him would just be ending that suffering.” — Melissa Jimenez, Littleton

“He killed a lot of people. He doesn’t deserve to live, even in jail.” — Faye Hershey, Littleton

“I don’t have any remorse about him being put to death, but I think the way the death penalty works is inefficient and a waste of money.” — Paul Raemer, Centennial

“I think the prosecutors ought to take his offer and get the whole thing over with rapidly and relatively inexpensively.” — Richard Hershey, Littleton

uncomplicating the complicated Lately I have found myself in conversations with people about how complicated their lives have become, or how complex situations at work or at home have created a feeling of being uptight or stressed out. So how do we simplify the complicated? Well, the first thing we need to do is understand that nothing is ever as difficult or as bad as it seems, and that panic truly is our worst enemy. And we also need to remind ourselves that all will be well. Situations become more convoluted and problematic when we allow the imagery of the worst-case scenario to worry us and erode our hope or positive outlook. The longer we dwell on the possibility that things will go bad, the more the situation will appear even more complicated. The second thing we can do is determine what we believe would be the best possible outcome. When we can begin with the end in mind, we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. So in the first step we eliminate the negative or pessimistic thoughts and in step two we acknowledge and see the potential best-case scenario. We replace the negative input with positive output. The third and final tip I can share with you is to do some healthy and creative destruction of the situation. Peel the layers back and pick the problem apart piece by piece. When things become complicated it means that there are many events, moving parts, circumstances, people, or situations coming together to create confusion and maybe even chaos. When we try and attack the entire problem it can seem overwhelming or too much to overcome, so we ignore it hoping that it will go away or fix itself. And our avoidance behavior only compounds an already complicated situation.

Here’s another thing: I fold. I am one hell of a folder. I can fold a hand towel like a trained hand towel folder. That goes for bath towels and sheet towels. Whatever it is about fulfilling certain tasks that have a beginning, middle, and end, it feels good. I have made some kind of progress on a day when maybe otherwise I have drifted, or overworked a painting, or faltered with a column. My first college apartment was managed by Sam Sing and Jon Wong, who operated a little laundry on Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles. I had them do my shirts, light starch. They came back to me, folded impeccably, with a cardboard insert, and a paper ribbon around them. Laundry can be very beautiful. Maybe I like to do laundry simply because I succeed with it.

ing myself for someone else.” Washing machines don’t stumble. That’s why I like mine. I can program it, and it sticks to the program. I don’t stick to the program, so I admire anyone or anything that can. Keep this under your hat. I’ll do a load of laundry just before bedtime just so that I can hear the washing machine going through its cycles, directly below me. One day the builder’s grade dishwasher that came with the house decided to explode. A repairman arrived and on his way up the driveway asked what kind it was. When I told him, he turned, said, “Get a new one, buddy,” and left. I have wood flooring and the explosion damaged the wood. I had to vacate for three days while it was sanded and re-finished. I went to Mesa Verde and listened to the guide. There was no mention of appliances. The Anasazi did not have Maytag. Maybe I wouldn’t like to do laundry as much as I do if I had a family, and had to get the stains out of Craig Jr.’s Old Navy jeans.

So what works better is to dissect the complication into manageable components, compartmentalize the elements causing the difficulties, and develop a plan to address each one. When we take this approach, that light at the end of our tunnel becomes brighter, and with each element or compartment that we sort through and fix, the light gets even brighter, the end of the tunnel closer, and our confidence soars as we prepare to take on the remaining elements. There is nothing that is so overly complicated that it cannot become uncomplicated by approaching it with a positive, constructive and productive attitude and a solid plan. If we choose to look at the complications in our life as something that is in our control instead out of our control, we will significantly increase our chances of simplifying the chaos and associated burdens of the complication. Are you facing a complicated situation that may seem overwhelming? I encourage you to practice the tactical approach outlined here in this column and let me know if it helped at gotonorton@gmail.com. When we can uncomplicate the complicated, it will be a better than good week.

A great debate is under way in Congress to address our nation’s fiscal issues and to pass a budget that strengthens our nation. House Republicans and Senate Democrats have recently proposed and voted on two different budgets for the 2014 fiscal year, which begins in October of this year. The proposed budgets reflect stark differences in values and priorities and would provide very different outcomes for middle-class families, students, seniors and our nation’s economic future. The House budget, developed by Rep. Paul Ryan, would protect the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations and tackle the deficit by burdening the middle class. Under the House budget, millionaires would receive an average $245,000 tax break and raise taxes on middle class families by $3,000. The Senate budget would close corporate tax loopholes, limit tax breaks on the wealthy, and expand tax incentives for work, savings, and school. The House budget slashes $98 billion in Pell Grants and doubles the student loan interest rates in July from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. In addition, significant cuts would be made to investments in transportation, infrastructure, research and development, and clean energy. The highest priority of the Senate budget is to establish a foundation that will secure our economic future by maintaining current education investments, provide $50 billion for transportation priorities and $10 billion to create an infrastructure bank. Some of our nation’s most vital programs have found themselves in the cross hairs of the House budget, including

Medicare and the Affordable Care Act. For instance, the House budget would dismantle and privatize Medicare, breaking a promise made to our seniors, and repeal the Affordable Care Act. The Senate budget preserves and protects Medicare for our seniors and future generations of Americans while building on health care reform. Unfortunately, the debate over our nation’s budget is not the only fiscal challenge we face. At the beginning of March, acrossthe-board federal spending cuts started going into effect, as a result of something called the “sequester.” The sequester was developed as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, and was designed as a deadline-driven vehicle to force Congress and the White House to make a deal on our nation’s budget to avoid drastic cuts, and still no deal has been made. I voted against the Budget Control Act of 2011, because applying a blunt instrument like the sequester is not the answer. I have always advocated for strategic investments in programs to help our families and communities and proven areas of economic growth like medical research, clean energy opportunities and workforce DeGette continues on Page 7

County, Englewood settle with deaf Law enforcement must follow ADA policies By Deborah Grigsby

dgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com Deaf people who are arrested, questioned or detained in Arapahoe County will now have access to sign language interpreters and other auxiliary aids, according to a March 21 settlement the Sheriff’s Office reached with the U.S. Department of Justice. The City of Englewood reached a similar agreement earlier this month. According to the settlements, Arapahoe County and Englewood will each pay $35,000 to the private plaintiffs, agree to make sign language interpreters available, provide staff training on the Americans with Disability Act, and appoint an ADA coordinator. The agreement also requires each to adopt policies consistent with the ADA, including a slight modification of handcuffing policies for those who primarily use sign language or handwriting to communicate. According to Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson, based on safety and security, some individuals would be hand-

cuffed with their hands in front. “This settlement is just one of many that have happened across the state, as well as across the country,” Robinson said. “While I don’t feel we did anything wrong, we did identify some things we could do better, and we will.” Robinson explained that among other changes, ACSO will contract with qualified signlanguage interpreters to make them available within an hour’s notice. While the cooperative settlement is a victory of sorts, Rocky Mountain ADA Center Director of Technical Assistance and Training Robinson Candice Alder said there’s still more work to do. “What this case means for ADA is that there’s still a big knowledge gap out there,” Alder said. “People who are deaf or hard of hearing need to be able to communicate clearly with police and sheriff officers, whether they are crime victims, witnesses, arrestees, detainees, or just members of the public,” said Eve Hill, senior counselor to the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division.

training programs. The Senate budget will replace the sequester and protect our nation’s economic recovery, while the House budget would make cuts even deeper than those currently in place. Overall, the Senate budget proposes fair fiscal priorities and a sustainable path. The House budget would cut our most vital programs and support to those most in need. Furthermore, President Obama will announce a separate budget on April 10, and I look forward to seeing his proposal. I expect it will closely align with the Senate budget priorities by responsibly addressing our nation’s deficit, protect critical programs, and invest in areas that stimulate economic growth. As always, I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to try and find a compromise on a budget solution that strengthens our nation now and for years to come.

plaints from the Colorado Association of the Deaf and the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition, as well as deaf people, that Englewood officers and ACSO deputies were not providing qualified sign-language interpreters when needed. A private lawsuit was filed in federal court and DOJ investigations were initiated into the allegations against Englewood’s police department and the sheriff’s office. DOJ considered intervening in the private suit, but reached out to the parties in an effort to create a cooperative resolution. All parties, including Englewood Police Chief John Collins and Robinson, expressed a commitment to ensure full compliance with the ADA. The cooperative agreements stem from a 2-year-old claim by William Lawrence, deaf since birth, who was unable to communicate with Englewood police after he was arrested and handcuffed at his home on an outstanding warrant from another county. Although Englewood police stated they were able to communicate with him through handwritten notes, the lawsuit says that is not an acceptable form of communication and is unlawful under the ADA. According to the settlement agreements, both Englewood police and the sheriff’s office deny any wrongdoing. Englewood police could not be reached for comment.

Eco-friendly landscape is low-maintenance Gardening expert’s plan can pay off By Melinda Myers info@melindamyers.com

t’s possible to create a beautiful landscape and be kind to the environment even with a busy schedule and while staying within budget. All it takes is a bit of planning and a few low-maintenance strategies. Here are five strategies to create a low-maintenance ecofriendly landscape this season. • Be water-wise: Save money on the water bill, time spent watering and this precious resource, water. Start by growing drought-tolerant plants suited to your growing environment. Once established they will only need watering during extended dry spells. Mulch with shredded leaves, evergreen needles, wood chips, or other organic matter to conserve moisture, reduce weeds, and improve the soil as they decompose. Fertilize with a low nitrogen fertilizer, like Milorganite, that promotes slow steady growth instead of excessive greenery that requires more water. Plus, it won’t burn even during drought.

Courtesyphoto • Recycle yard waste in the landscape: Minimize the amount of yard waste produced, reuse what can be in other areas of the landscape and recycle the rest as compost. These are just a few strategies that will save time bagging, hauling, and disposing of yard debris. And better yet, implementing this strategy will save money and time spent buying and transporting soil amendments, since it will be created right in the backyard. Start by leaving grass clippings on the lawn. The short clippings break down quickly, adding organic matter, nutrients and moisture to the soil. Grow trees suited to the growing con-

ditions and available space. That means less pruning and fewer trimmings that will need to be managed. • Make compost at home: Recycle yard waste into compost. Put plant waste into a heap and let it rot. Yes, it really is that simple. The more effort put into the process, the quicker the results. Do not add insect-infested or diseased plant material or perennial weeds like quack grass, annual weeds gone to seed, or invasive plants. Most compost piles are not hot enough to kill these pests. And do not add meat, dairy, or bones that can attract rodents. • Manage pests in harmony

with nature: A healthy plant is the best defense against insects and disease. Select the most pestresistant plants suited to the growing conditions and provide proper care. Check plants regularly throughout the growing season. It is easier to control a few insects than the hundreds that can develop in a week or two. And when problems arise, look for the most eco-friendly control. Start by removing small infestations by hand. Consider traps, barriers, and natural products if further control is needed. And as always be sure to read and follow label directions carefully. • Use energy-wise landscape design: Use landscape plantings to keep homes warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Homes will have a more comfortable temperature throughout the seasons and energy costs will be reduced. Plant trees on the east and west side of a house to shade windows in the summer and let the sun shine in and warm it up through the south-facing windows in winter. Shade air conditioners, so they run more efficiently. Incorporate these changes into gardening routines and hab-

its over time. Soon these and many more strategies that help save time and money while being kind to the environment will seem to occur automatically.

Get air conditioning e ready for warm weather

and helpBy StatePoint e behen the weather heats up, your will heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system quickly becomes a most valuable player in your xpert,home life and stays that way for several lum-months. However, the U.S. Census Bureau thanestimates that more than 3 million HVAC iencesystems fail each year. Do you know if it’s rden-time to maintain, repair or replace your Missair conditioning system? hosts “Air conditioning is a big investment nda’sin your home. Learning what maintewhichnance steps you can take on your own and sta-what questions to ask your air conditionis aing contractor can save you time, money ditorand keep you comfortable this season,” andsays Frank Landwehr, vice president of rden-Emerson Climate Technologies, a major umn.provider of equipment used in heating, Gar-ventilation, air conditioning and refriglindaeration systems. radio Remember, not all maintenance needs wellto be outsourced. Here are some prevenLakestive tasks to take that can extend the life rittenof air conditioning equipment: Gar- • Change air ﬁlters: A general rule is wasto change indoor ductwork ﬁlters every edizine. ee in borist uctor www.

three months or at the beginning of every heating and cooling season. Ensure the filter is sized correctly, fitting snuggly. • Keep the outdoor unit clean: Keep coils free of debris by hosing off with light pressure. Any bushes or shrubs should be trimmed back away from the unit. • Let air flow: Maintain a reliable airflow to reduce moisture buildup that can lead to mold. Keep vents open. Similarly, keep internal doors open inside your home to maintain air flow. • Clean duct grills: Annually, clean the vents and grills at the opening of each duct in every room by lifting the grill out of the floor, wiping with a rag or vacuuming to remove dust and debris. • Keep condensate drain open: A stopped-up condensate line can lead to expensive water damage. Keep the drain line clean and the drain tube open and clear to prevent backup. Good maintenance will only get you so far. Eventually, your equipment will need to be replaced. Hire only a certified A/C technician you trust. This season, keep your cool. Take the time to maintain, repair and replace your A/C equipment when necessary.

Tips help cut water use By Colorado Nursery & Greenhouse Association info@coloradonga.org

ith spring snowstorms followed by 60-degree days, you know it’s time to start thinking about getting outside and into the garden. This winter has been a tricky one and by now we’ve all heard the word — drought — but that doesn’t mean it’s time to throw in the trowel. Whether you’re into turf, trees, shrubs, ﬂowers or edibles, following a few key principles can help yield a beautiful, bountiful landscape using less water. Even the most experienced gardeners often confuse xeriscapes with zeroscapes. Zeroscapes imply no landscape and that’s a very bad thing for everyone. Beautiful landscaping does more than just look pretty, it also increases property values, reduces energy consumption, produces oxygen and even absorbs carbon dioxide. So what is xeriscape? Xeriscape is actually a set of planting principles that can help you create attractive, sustainable, and water-efﬁcient landscapes using these

seven basic and sound horticultural practices. • Plan and design landscaping comprehensively. • Evaluate soil and improve if necessary. Amending soil increases water retention. • Create practical turf areas. The front lawns of eight houses have the cooling effect of about 70 tons of air conditioning. • Select plants with similar needs and group them accordingly in the landscape. • Water efﬁciently with a properly designed irrigation system. • Use organic mulches to reduce surface evaporation of water and minimize weeds. • Practice appropriate landscape maintenance. Remember, even in drought years, landscaping can add as much as 15 percent to the resale value of your home. So dust off your gloves, put these principles to work and see for yourself that a beautiful landscape and water-wise conservation can in fact live in harmony. Visit plantsomethingco.org for more information and expert tips throughout the season.

REAL ESTATE AGENT SPOTLIGHT OF THE WEEK What is your specialty and what does that mean for changed a great deal compared to what it was about a year Ben Eyasu ago. the people you work with? Managing Broker RE Professionals 10200 E. Girard Ave #B230 Denver, CO 80231 720-365-7981 Ben.eyasu@gmail.com www.reproscolorado.com Where were you born? I was born in Ethiopia and grew up in San Francisco. How long have you lived in the area? I moved to Colorado in 2002 and have been here since. What do you like most about it? I like Colorado for its beautiful mountains, the fourseason weather, and the variety of outdoor activities it offers. Colorado also has great people, an easy/laid back lifestyle, and a great place to raise a family.

I specialize in Residential Real Estate with first time homebuyers and investors. I invest a great deal of time researching the market in the area and keeping myself informed with the ever-changing market. I point my clients to the appropriate resources when they are not clear on where to get the right information pertaining to the home buying process. I facilitate that service by collaborating with other credible financial agency representatives, government program experts, home inspection agents etc., with the intent of simplifying what can be an overwhelming task to my clients. My clients appreciate my honesty and integrity, and most importantly, feel at ease to come to me with any questions.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working? I love spending my free time with my 10-month-old son and family. We enjoy traveling, watching sporting events, and all the great outdoor activities that Colorado has to offer. What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house? My advice would be to de-clutter the house, have it smell clean and fresh, and give it an inviting appeal.

What is the most challenging part of what you do? I currently find most challenging the changes happening in the real estate market in Colorado. The real estate market has

What is one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house? Have patience. Looking for a home can be a tasking experience, but with the right attitude and understanding of what the market has to offer, it can also be fun. What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in Real Estate? Sitting at a closing, a buyer literally came with a suitcase full of cash. The buyer had to redeposit before we can close.

How long have you worked in Real Estate? I have been working in the Real Estate for eight years now.

Best price when selling a home

Curb appeal is one factor that can help a home sell faster and for more money.

he housing market has not yet rebounded to pre-recession prices, when buyers seemed to be stepping over one another to bid up the price of homes. Today’s sellers may be lucky to get asking price, with the reality being a certain percentage below. However, that doesn’t mean sellers should accept bottom-of-the-barrel of-

fers. There are still ways to get the best price possible on an offered home. With sellers hoping to get the most possible for a home and buyers interested in spending the least, it’s sometimes a battle of wills when it comes to hashing out a confirmed price in the world of real estate. Sellers who wonder whether they’ll struggle to get a

good offer can hedge their bets in the right direction by employing a few strategies. * What you see is what you get: It’s difficult to change first impressions. If a potential buyer pulls up to a home that doesn’t give them “warm and fuzzy” feelings immediately, it may be hard to eventually sway opinion of the home -- even if it’s pristine on the inside. Individu-

als do judge a book by its cover, which means that effort should be put into making a home’s exterior as appealing as possible. Landscaping should be neat and lush. There shouldn’t be any obstacles leading to the front of the home. Items that look in disrepair should be mended. Curb appeal does matter. * Use a real estate agent: Many people forgo this step, thinking they can sell their home just as well without an agent and not have to pay commission in the process. A real estate agent is schooled in the process of negotiating the price of an offered home. In fact, the more a home’s selling price, the higher the agent’s profit. That’s incentive right there. Furthermore, agents know the average prices of similar homes and can help a seller price and market a property correctly. That may add up to a faster sale (and a better offer). * Price it competitively: Some sellers think the higher they price their home the more money they’ll get for it. The fact is, the longer an overpriced home sits on the market, the less appealing it will appear to buyers. Individuals looking for a home may repeatedly see the listing and wonder what’s wrong with the home. Even if it’s the best home in the neighborhood, it may be seen

as a red flag that’s best avoided. * Give people what they want: Buyers often prefer updated kitchens and bathrooms. Most buyers out there are not looking for “handyman specials.” They want a relatively turn-key property. A kitchen or bathroom that is an eyesore can repel potential buyers. Home shoppers may be more inclined to go closer to asking price if some of the bigger-ticket items are already completed. * Don’t be an open book: If a buyer knows that time is of the essence or the home is “priced to sell,” he or she may sense that desperation, almost guaranteeing a low-ball offer. Sellers shouldn’t let on too much about their reasons for selling or make it seem like they’ll be in dire straights if the home doesn’t sell quickly. Selling a home under duress is not likely to cause prospective buyers to pony up. * Don’t be afraid to counter-offer: A buyer who is excited to get an offer on a home in a slow market, but feels the offer is below value, should definitely counter-offer. While the buyer may not accept the counter, he or she may make another offer that is more to the seller’s liking. ■ Metro Creative Services

But weight: There’s less

Heritage High School senior Derek McKee lived in this box on downtown Denver’s 16th Street Mall for a week to raise awareness about youth homelessness. Photo by Jennifer Smith

Magical thinking leads to good works Heritage High School’s Derek McKee becomes the ‘Boy in the Box’ By Jennifer Smith

jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Derek McKee has been busy recently. He’s appeared on “The Late Late Show” with Craig Ferguson and “Extra” with Mario Lopez, performed in Malibu at a camp for homeless kids and wowed ’em in Las Vegas. “And now I’m in a box,” he said March 29. Quite literally. The Heritage High School senior was spending the week in a Plexiglas box on the 16th Street Mall to raise awareness about the plight of the up to 1,500 homeless youths who sleep on the streets of Denver every night without the luxury of walls and a roof. “It’s like a sauna today,” he said, and he had the sweat to prove it. But when it’s cold outside, it’s really, really cold in the box, he says. McKee is on the board of the Little Red Wagon Foundation, which works to provide homeless kids with basic necessities

and some comfort items. It was founded in 2005 by Zach Bonner, who was serving time concurrently with McKee in his own box in Tampa, Fla. “There’s been so much support from the community, and the homeless community has just been amazing,” he said. One memory he’ll take home is of a homeless couple who offered their last dollar and some canned food. The husband needed medicine, and Derek and his team made sure he got it. His goal was to line the walls of the box with 3,000 cans of food he’ll donate to local food banks. By his third day, he’d already stacked up 700 or so. Which at least gave him one wall of privacy — changing clothes is just one challenge he’s had to figure out. “You can’t be bashful when you live in a box,” he said. He’s only stepped out to run into Denver Pavilions to find a restroom, and sleeping has been pretty much out of the question. “The shuttles run until 10 at night, and then all the streetlights come on,” he said. His box locks and he has security, but he said he hadn’t had any trouble. Nobody has tagged his box or tried to tip it over, but he said things get pretty interesting after the bars close.

He’s mostly enjoyed the week, meeting people who bring donations or just stop by to say hello. He keeps himself and passers-by entertained by performing his signature card tricks. At 11, McKee became the youngest person ever to compete at the World Magic Teen Competition in Las Vegas. Two years later, as he prepared to compete there for the third time, a production company decided to film a documentary based on it. “Make Believe” won in its category at the Los Angeles Film Festival, and McKee was on his way. Now he hangs out in Hollywood hobnobbing with his childhood idol, Lance Burton, and amazes audiences around the world. All that and math class too. His math teacher, Abbie Wade, spent some time with him on the mall. She thinks he’s giving a wonderful gift to those who need it. “He’s beyond high school in maturity,” she said. McKee says every kid has the potential to find creative ways to make a difference. “It’s important for us to give back in a way that’s not just volunteering, which is great, but there’s still so much to be done,” he said.

‘New York Nights’ at PACE Center Wind ensemble joins with students for concert By Sonya Ellingboe

if you go “New York Nights” is at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, at 7:30 p.m. on April 5. Tickets: $21.50 to $13.50, 303-805-6800, pacecenteronline.ticketforce.com.

Most of the member musicians have music degrees and many teach. Matthew Roeder is director. Innovative contemporary composers like to write for wind ensembles, according to orchestra publicist Ellen Christianson, so the audience may hear music they haven’t heard previously. The program opens with familiar music, though: Symphonic dances from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story,” arranged by Lavender. “Red Cape Tango” from Michael Daugherty’s “Metropolis Symphony” follows, then Jeff Tyzik’s “New York Cityscape” will feature a tango tuba solo. Robert Beaser’s “Manhattan Roll” and Clifton Williams’ “Symphonic Dance No. 3”

Wild about Harry

Britain’s Prince Harry will make an official visit to the United States — including Colorado Springs — in May, according to a story broadcast last week on CBS. The prince is scheduled to be in the U.S. from May 9 through May 15 on behalf of several charities and the British government, the report said. “The 28-year-old royal is also scheduled to attend the Warrior Games for wounded veterans in Colorado Springs and visit New York City for an event promoting community-based youth athletics,” CBS reported. The prince also plans to visit New York City and New Jersey towns that were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Harry’s last visit to the U.S. in May 2012 didn’t end up as a positive PR campaign after naked photos surfaced showing him with a female companion that were reportedly taken inside a VIP suite in a Las Vegas hotel.

Southern comfort

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Parker will get a taste of the Big Apple with the upcoming “New York Nights” concert by the Colorado Wind Ensemble. The ensemble, a 45-member metro-area orchestra of woodwinds, brass and percussion, is one of The Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center’s performing partners and plays there several times a year. The ensemble’s main home is Littleton United Methodist Church, but it also travels west to the Lakewood Cultural Center a couple of times a year, building its audience. The CWE will perform “New York Nights” at PACE Center at 7:30 p.m. April 5. Students from Douglas County schools who study with orchestra members will join the ensemble for this concert.

If you’ve ever wanted to travel on a weight-loss journey in front of millions of folks on TV, your chance is coming up. Eyeworks USA, the producers of the hit series “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,” is beginning a nationwide tour to 13 cities — including Denver — in search of participants for season four of the weekly show. Candidates are invited to either attend an open call in one of the cities or send in a home tape. “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition” features transformational specialist Chris Powell, author of the New York Times bestseller “Choose to Lose.” Powell documents the amazing makeover of 15 courageous “super obese” people who have 365 days to safely lose up to half their body weight. Powell provides a fresh perspective to individuals whose lives have become unmanageable because of their weight. He guides each of the participants through a transformation process by moving into each person’s home. The Denver open casting call takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 13 at Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar and Grill, 8260 Northfield Blvd., #1370, Denver. Information on how to apply can be found on the official casting website at www.extrememakeovercasting.com. Casting call attendees should bring a nonreturnable photo.

Colorado Wind Ensemble’s Darren DeLaub will perform a tuba tango. Courtesy photo fill out the evening’s program. This versatile orchestra is playing its 31st season in the south metro area, presenting music that especially features each instrument. Guest conductors for the CWE will be Nick Bidinger and Jayne Copland.

Southern Hospitality, the much-ballyhooed eatery that opened with barely a whisper recently, is a delightful and casual entrant into the downtown Denver restaurant scene. A gal pal and I checked it out last week, and I can’t wait to bring back Mr. On the Town, a Southern-fried food freak. The restaurant, at 1433 17th St., arrived among a plethora of press because of its New York roots with original investor, entertainment superstar Justin Timberlake, who since has sold his interest. But the Denver location is backed by Ryan Tedder, lead singer of OneRepublic and a Colorado native. Celebrity buzz aside, we found some solid Southern comfort with the service and the fare. Some of what we sampled were crispy buffalo shrimp, crispy fried pickles, Southern fried chicken and roasted corn. No Parker continues on Page 19

South Metro Denver SBDC Hosts Intensive 10-week Business Planning Course

This spring the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center (SBDC) will again offer an intensive business planning course for entrepreneurs. The Colorado Leading Edge will present the NxLeveL® Entrepreneurial Training Program; a course designed for entrepreneurs who are currently in business seeking both knowledge and skills to grow their businesses. Participants graduate with a fully executed business plan, which might be a feasibility study, growth plan, or start-up plan. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best plans from generous grant matching sponsor, Colorado Business Bank. Both facilitators and participants rave about the course and its ability to help entrepreneurs get their new growth plans off the ground successfully. Jeannie Pershin, a partner at Romancing the Bean coffee shop in Littleton, was impressed with the course. “I’ve always concentrated on the operations side of the business and completing this program with my partner gave me new insight as to the total picture of our operation. They uncovered areas of our business practices that we hadn’t taken into account.” “The NxLeveL business planning course is a one-of-a-kind program for business owners who need to write or enhance their business plan in order to expand their business.

This 10-week course offers a safe place for entrepreneurs to learn and support each other on the path to completing a business plan. I have found this course adds to the success of the business by assisting entrepreneurs in getting capital, planning growth, or starting a new venture,” said Marcia McGilley, Executive Director of the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center. Over 10 weeks the course will cover: • Planning & Research: Entrepreneurial Essentials • Organizational Matters: Management & Legal Structure • Marketing: Market Research, Analysis & Understanding • Advertising: Strategies, Tactics & Implementation • Financial Overview: Books, Records & Controls, Financial Planning • Managing Your Money: Cash Flow Projections, Budgets & Assumptions The course also features: • Guest speakers including accountants, attorneys and bankers • Networking opportunities • A comprehensive textbook, workbook and resource guide • Five hours of one-on-one business consulting from the South Metro Denver SBDC at no charge • Interaction with business loan officers at the Lender’s Panel • Special bonus sessions: Web site review, IBIS World Industry Research report, and Brandify Report The SBDC will be holding an informational seminar on the program on Thursday, April 4th and again on April 11th from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm at the South Metro Denver Chamber Center, 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 324 in the

Streets at SouthGlenn Complex in Centennial. You’ll be able to meet and ask questions of the instructors and learn how this opportunity can benefit your business. The actual 10-week course will run from 6:00 to 9:30 pm on Wednesday evenings beginning April 17th through June 19th at the Chamber Center. Cost for the 10week course is $495 per person, $445 for South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce members and Colorado Business Bank customers with additional members of a registered organization able to take the course for an additional $250. A limited number of partial scholarships are available to business owners in need of financial assistance.

Game day Grill grub

Vesta Dipping Grill wants to “take you out to the ballgame” (so to speak) beginning April 5 when baseball fans will have another alternative for food on the way to Coors Field. Vesta’s Pre-Game Pop-Ups will feature Korean BBQ Rib Sandwiches ($6) and Fresh Fruit Cups ($4) sweetened with agave syrup and chili lime. Other specials may “pop-up” throughout the season as well. The concept is the brainchild of Chef Brandon Foster, who says he wanted to “provide an alternative to traditional ballgame food on the way to Coors Field.” Both the sandwiches and fruit cups will be available out front of Vesta, 1822 Blake St., 90 minutes before every Rockies day game, and select evening games through the 2013 season. Check out the restaurant’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/ vestagrill, for additional games and specials.

Readers Choice party

Colorado Meetings + Events magazine threw a fab party last week to hand out the awards for the 2013 Best Of Colorado Readers Choice award winners, selected by the magazine’s

readers via online voting. The top picks include attractions, planning companies, photographers, caterers, venues and more. As the magazine said, “We’re confident that the winners represent businesses and organizations that are defining the excellence our state is so well-known for, and we thank you for joining us to honor this elite group.” The event (which was quite fun, and attracted a host of well-dressed young folks) took place at the Denver Art Museum, catered by the awesome staff at Kevin Taylor Restaurant. Here’s the description of the awards criteria from the Colorado Meetings + Events website: “Every single winner in the annual Readers’ Choice Best Of Award campaign is hand-picked by the meeting planners, event planners and suppliers who read Colorado Meetings + Events magazine. “The Best Of awards are designed to honor the cream of the crop in the regional meetings and events industry. We achieve this by giving the power to determine the winners solely to the readers — every vote in each category is influential and important to determine the final winner. “The awards are a celebration of the hard work and above-and-beyond service of suppliers who help planners be at the top of their game. Once the votes are tallied, the top nominees are notified, and the winners are kept secret until the Best Of party, then announced in a special issue of the magazine.” Check out this year’s winners online at www.co.meetingsmags.com/ article/meet-winners.

More honors

The Business Journals (the company that owns the Denver Business Journal) rated 102 metro areas with a population of 500,000 or more in the U.S., and Denver ranks ninth of the nation’s best places for young adults. The Business Journals’ G. Scott Thomas gave the rankings in his “On Numbers” blog, ranking Austin, Texas at the top. See more at http://denv. co/16WnBVN.

allowed to sit in the driver’s seat of a fire truck and turn on the lights. Also, resident Dan Duncan got the chance to try on all the gear a firefighter wears when battling a blaze. Firefighter Dan Alley explained the heavy jacket and pants, helmet and boots weigh 35 or 40 pounds and the backpack with the oxygen tank probably weighs about the same. “That equipment is a lot heavier than I thought it would be,” Duncan said after he took off all the gear. “It isn’t only heavy, it is very hot. It is a pretty cool day but I am sweating a lot right now and I was just standing in one place. I can’t imagine what it would be like pulling hoses or climbing steps.”

THINGS TO DO

(Availability is limited, Some restrictions may apply)

There was a line of parents with small children waiting for a turn to get into the police car. Pearson helped the children in and out of the police cruiser but warned them not to touch anything in red. “This is so nice for Englewood Police to do this,” Englewood resident Tami Gurney said as she watched her granddaughter sit in the police cruiser. “We tell children police officers are their friends, but I think an event like this helps the kids understand what we mean. Look at my granddaughter. She is having a ball and she is grinning ear to ear because she had a chance to sit in a police car.” Across the street, several people visited the fire station.

Pirates poised for Windjammer Englewood hosting half-dozen teams in April 6 meet By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Uniforms in a rainbow of colors will fill the Englewood High School stands, track and field April 6 during the Windjammer Invitational Track Meet. The annual event begins at 8 a.m., and teams scheduled to join the Pirates in the competition include Alameda, Bear Creek, Columbine, Denver Christian, Ralston Valley and Wheat Ridge. More teams were initially planning to attend but, coach Jay Graves said, quite a few withdrew in order to attend prequalifying meets that are a must for individuals and teams seeking to earn berths at the state Class 4A meet. The new format rates the times and distances from all the official prequalifying meets and, at the end of the season, the top 16 in each event advance to state. Englewood will go to four prequalifying meets this year. In the final meet before spring break, Englewood turned in a solid performance at the March 12 league relays. “Our kids did well at the league relays and I think that was a confidence booster for us, as we are coming off spring break,” Graves said. “It looks like we’ll have most of the kids doing two spring sports with us for the Windjammer, and that really strengthens our team. I expect us to do pretty well in that meet.” Graves said the Pirates finished second in the Colorado 7 meet boys standing with 85 points, and the girls team was sixth with 24 points. In the combined results, Englewood took third place with 109 points. Englewood’s boys team got off to a good

Englewood’s Tucker Horan runs a leg in a relay race at last year’s Windjammer Invitational. Horan returns to help the Pirates team this year. File photo start, winning the 1,600-meter medley relay, which consists of a pair of 200-meter dashes, a 400-meter run and an 800-meter run. The Pirate team of Cole Horan, Sam Vogel, Mitch MacDonald and Tucker Horan won the event with a combined time of 4:04.35. The Pirate team of Greg Pearson, Mitch MacDonald, Wyatt Long and Jorden Engle joined forces to win the shuttle hurdles with a time of 1:16.59. The other Englewood first place came in the distance medley race, which consisted of legs of a 400-meter dash, an 800-meter

run, a 1,200-meter run and a 1,600-meter run. The lineup for the Pirates was Mitch MacDonald, Eric Almanzar, Tucker Horan and Chad Glover, who turned in a combined time of 13:15.32 to win the event. The girls team didn’t win an event, but most of the team points came in the weight events as the Pirates took runner-up honors in the discus and second in the shot put. In league relays, the discus and shot put are the combined distance of the team’s three athletes. In the discus and shot put relay events,

a team can enter four competitors and the distances of the top three entries are combined for the team result. Englewood entered Jolie Baty, Isabelle Vamvakis, Maddy Ostrowski and Marissa Coomer in the two events. The Pirates were second in discus with a combined total of 194 feet, 9 inches and second in shot put with a combined distance of 72 feet 5½ inches. Also, Englewood’s 4 X 100 girls relay team made up of Tayler Search, Hannah Frazier, Lindsey McNorton and Mason BrainardFernandez did well and finished third.

Englewood High School girls golf team shows improvement School opens season April 11 as hosts for league match By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Coach Brian DeHerrera said he feels this year’s players have more experience and focus, which should mean the Englewood High School Girls Golf Team will be improved. “We are looking better and probably would improve more quickly if we could get everyone to practice every day,” the coach said. “But that is difficult because several of our golfers are also on another school sports team or involved in school activities this spring. They can’t attend every practice, so they get here as often as they can.” Coming off spring break, the Pirates resumed practice April 1 at Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course as they prepared for the first match of the year, which will be held at 11 a.m. on April 11 when teams from Elizabeth, Fort Morgan and Vista Peak come to Broken Tee for in a league meet competition. Englewood will enter the season’s first match with a half-dozen girls on the team roster, including three who can’t make every practice.

Englewood High School coach Brian DeHerrera helps a member of last year’s girls golf team work on the grip on the club. The coach is back and said the team should be improved. File photo Tayler Search will start as the Pirates No. 1 golfer. The coach said she is a talented athlete who plays good golf and could be even better with practice. However, she

also is running track so can’t make all the practices. Teammate Jasmine Peters also can’t make all the practices because, on Monday and Wednesday, she is a volunteer

after-school tutor, and Maddie Cowell also misses golf practices because she also plays soccer this spring. The team’s No. 2 golfer, Tianna Peters was with the team last year and the coach said she is playing better golf this season. Other golfers on the roster include Brenda Adamo and Christina Cowell. DeHerrers said the team practices on Monday at 5 p.m. and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 4 p.m. All practices are held at Broken Tee. “We will continue to work on fundamentals in our practice sessions. A focus for us is seeking to get all the players to show consistency when they hit the golf ball,” the coach said. “It is coming along but we still have work to do.” DeHerrera said another focus is working to develop stamina so the girls can do well in 18-hole matches. “Last year’s league played a lot of 9-hole meets,” he said. “The girls liked those but really didn’t like the more demanding 18hole matches.

Lions foundation distributes grants Englewood group gives assistance to area charities By Tom Munds

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Weather kept the crowd down but didn’t hamper the Englewood Lions Foundation’s March 23 program to distribute grants to a number of local charitable organizations. “This is the fifth year we have done the foundation recognition and grant awards program,” said Les Jenkins, foundation president. “This year, we recognized 15 organizations with grants that totaled $20,300. Grants varied in size from $200 to $3,000.” Sight-related programs are a major project for Lions International and its chapters, so it was natural that many of the Englewood Lions Foundation grants went to causes such as youth eye exams and lenses, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank and the Anchor Center for Blind Children. There were also grants to the House of Hope Family Resource Center, the Arapahoe Santa Claus Shop and Meals on Wheels. One of the grants was for two college scholarships, one to an Englewood High School student and one to a Colorado’s Finest

The Englewood Lions have renamed the scholarship program to honor Englewood Detective Jeremy Bitner, who was on duty

when he was hit by a car and killed last year. The foundation raises the money for the grants through a variety of programs. A portion of the dues Lions Club members pay

goes to the foundation, as does some of the money raised by the annual golf tournament. There are also fund-raisers such as the sale of Palisade peaches. The Englewood Lions Club and

the foundation have been providing support to the community since the club was established in 1926. An early program was to provide milk money for Englewood students whose families were unable to purchase school lunches. In 1946, the Lions built the city’s first swimming pool at Englewood City Park, located where Cinderella City Shopping Mall was eventually built. The Lions also ran the miniature train and petting zoo in the park. When the park land was sold in the early 1960s for the mall development, the miniature train and the petting zoo that became the children’s farm were moved to Belleview Park. Eventually, the Lions turned the operation and maintenance of the train and the children’s farm over to the city recreation department. Jenkins joined the Englewood Lions in 1965. “We were a big organization of about 110 members when I joined,” he said. “Back then the club was very active and we had judges, mayors as well as city and school district officials as members. Our club is smaller because, like so many service clubs, we don’t have a lot of young members. We still have about 55 on the membership list and everyone works together so we can continue our projects and programs like the foundation grants that benefit the residents and the community.”

A sizable crowd gathered at Englewood Elks Lodge 2122 for the annual awards night honoring members of the community and the organization for their dedication and service. Lodge officials presented plaques to Police Officer of the Year Brad Johnson, Firefighter of the Year Dennis McTaggart and Citizen of the Year Jim Woodward. Johnson has been in law enforcement since 1978 and with the Englewood Police Department since 1989. His assignments have included professional standards and training officers as a master firearms instructor. McTaggart is a driver-operator with the fire department, plus he is a member of Englewood’s Wildland firefighting team that has battled wildfires near home as well as in Texas, Georgia and California. Woodward has been on Englewood City Council since 2004, served as mayor and is currently mayor pro tem. His son Jason said it has always been his dad’s focus to give back to the community. There were also awards to the lodge’s female and male students of the year, Sara Dellinger, a D’Evelyn High School senior, and Eeich Deutch, a Thomas Jefferson High School senior. Both students will receive Elks Memorial Scholarships in amounts still to be determined when the budget is finalized. Neither student was available to accept the

Awards included the Ladies Appreciation Award to Joyce Goggins, the Veterans Service Award to Mike Romero, the Lodge Couple of the Year to Chris and Shelly Blakely, Lodge Officer of the Year to Charlie Willingham and Elk of the Year to Howard Cole. Goggins is president of the 2122 Ladies Auxiliary and accepted the award on behalf of all the auxil-

iary members who work in support of the lodge, while Romero was honored for the work he has done in support of veterans, including his work in support with of American Legion Post 103 in Littleton. The Blakelys were honored for all the volunteer work they do at the lodge and for always being welling to help when needed. Willingham had helped cook and serve dinner and had to remove his apron to accept his award. It was noted he is always available when anything needs to be fixed at the lodge. Cole was honored for all the work he has done in support of the lodge and the community in his 32 years as an Elk. It was noted he is handy with a snow shovel and willingly shovels the walks at the lodge.

“It was fun for us to watch her and I think she had a lot of fun too,” Rory said. “The crowd today was bigger than I thought it would be. But the event was so well organize it ran smoothly. I really like the fact they had areas marked off by age group so little ones could have fun collecting goodies too.” The Great Egg Hunt was originally scheduled March 23, but Mother Nature dropped a few inches of snow on Englewood so the event was pushed back to March 30. The only thing changed was the date. Gates open at 9:30 a.m. and the sig-

nal to start gathering goodies sounds at 10 for the several hundred children to begin the hunt. Every year, organizers expect a big crowd and, to give all the children the opportunity to collect goodies, the hunting grounds are clearly marked off into four areas, one area for each of the four age groups. There are separate areas for 1- and 2-year-olds, 3- and 4-year-olds, 5- and 6-year-olds and 7- and 8-year-olds. Parents are not allowed to help the older children but can give a hand to the toddlers and very young children, assisting them as the kids collect the goodies.

“This falls short of a true reform efwoodfort,” said Sen. Mark Scheffel, R-Park-

in a big way. “If this is being being portrayed as an education reform bill, it is April Fool’s Day,” said Sen. Ted Harvey, RHighlands Ranch. “This is a $1 billion tax increase on the people of Colorado.” If the bill passes the General Assembly, it will be up to voters to de-

cide whether they wish to foot the $1 billion price tag that will come in the form of an income tax hike. Only Colorado voters, and not lawmakers, are allowed to raise taxes, under the state’s Constitution. All 20 Senate Democrats voted for the bill, while all 15 Republicans voted no. The bill now heads to the House.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!
