Creatures gather at carnival By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A parade of costumed characters that included superheroes, witches and unusual critters wound its way to the front door of the Englewood Recreation Center to take part in the Oct. 26 Halloween carnival. The parade began as the sun was going down, casting long shadows that fit the eerie laughter from the two witches who greeted the visitors at the door of the annual event. “We try to come every year,” Marie Gomez said as she and her two children entered the gathering at the recreation center.
“It is such a nice event, it is inexpensive and the kids have a great time.” Several hundred people attended this year’s carnival. Most of the children and many of the adults were wearing costumes. Sam Hubbard, 10, was a Lego and Tami Silva, 7, was a fearsome-looking pirate. Joe Mondragon dressed as a farmer as he accompanied his children to the event. A long line of families waited for their children to go through the inflatable obstacle course and there was a line waiting to have photos taken. There were shorter lines at the carnival-like game where, win or not, the child received a treat.

Residents raised concerns about issues including parking and construction disruption during an Oct. 23 community meeting with a developer who could transform the area at South Broadway and Englewood Parkway. Medici Communities could overhaul the 1.8 acres in downtown Englewood, encompassing the vacant lot at the corner, as well as the land west of the alley along the 3400 block of South Acoma Street. Medici presented a concept to construct a mixed-use development with an 8,600-square-foot restaurant site on the corner of Broadway and Englewood Parkway. It would be part of the total of 23,500 square feet of first-floor commercial space to be included in the project. The upper floors of the buildings would contain 114 apartments. “We are dedicated to building a successful project that will make a good block even better,” Troy Gladwell of Medici said as spoke to about 60 people who attended the meeting in Englewood City Center community room. “I have walked the area and talked with many of the merchants, so I know there are concerns about sufficient parking and about Meeting continues on Page 9
50 young artists honored for work on calendar 13 pieces will be used for city’s 2014 edition By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Proud parents had their children pose for photographs in front of their creations during the Oct. 23 event honoring the young artists who submitted the top 50 artworks for the 2014 Englewood calendar. Leigh Ann Hoffhines, city communications coordinator, oversees the annual student calendar art contest. She told the assembled artists and their relatives the calendar art contest is open to any student going to school in Englewood or who lives in Englewood. Hoffhines said this year’s contest drew more than 150 entries. A committee spent quite a few hours selecting the top 50 artworks. Thirteen of the top 50 artworks will be used in the 2014 calendar. However, smaller pictures of the other 37 works will also be included in the calendar.
Each of 13 selected artworks will be displayed as full pages in the calendar. The creators of those 13 works will be individually honored at the Dec. 2 Englewood City Council meeting. The free calendars will be available to the public at city facilities starting Dec. 3. At the Oct. 23 reception, Aushia Davis explained her work depicting a family of robots. “The teacher gave me the idea and I just decided to draw it this way,” the Englewood Middle School eighth-grader said. “I used different colors and shapes for each member of the robot family because I wanted each member to be unique. Also, I have each family member holding tools to help people in their daily lives.” She smiled and said no family is complete without pets, so she added a robot dog and a robot cat to the drawing. “I like to draw because it is fun,” Davis said. “One of my favorite things to draw is cats. I sometimes use my own cat as a model.” Nearby, Sophie Castro told her relatives about her drawing of a starry winter night.

calendar. The Oct. 23 event was held on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center. The works of art were mounted on the walls of the atrium and will be on display until Dec. 2. The ceremony was held in the community room. Englewood Mayor Randy Penn told the audience the event was all about recognizing the talent of the artists. As part of the ceremony, each of the 50 artists was called up individually to receive a gift bag of arts supplies, a certificate and congratulations as a slide of their creation was projected on the room’s wall.

Boehner dines at Steak House 10 House speaker has dinner at Englewood restaurant By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com When Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives John Boehner, R-Ohio, came to the area for an Oct. 18 fundraiser, he created a lot of unusual activity in Englewood when he decided to eat dinner at Steak House 10. “We had no idea Rep. Boehner was coming to have dinner with us,” said Kosta Kallas, co-owner of Steak House 10 at 3517 S. Elati St. “Someone called up to make reservations for 8 p.m. and asked for two tables set up close together, one for three people and one for four people. We figured we could accommodate them so we just put it in the reservation book.” He said, on Oct. 18, the morning waiter called to tell him there was a man asking a lot of questions about the 8 p.m. reservation for seven people. “I told the waiter we would put them upstairs, which made them happy,” Kallas said. “Later we learned they liked it because it is less busy upstairs, and the Boehner party could come up the stairs to the tables without coming through the main building entrance.” Dinner came after a fundraiser held in
the Cherry Hills Village home of Charles and Diane Gallagher, where Boehner and Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman, RAurora, were on hand to help the National Republican Congressional Committee raise money to elect members of their party to Congress next year. “We were surprised when four Secret Service agents came in asking about the location and we showed them the upstairs tables,” Kallas said. “Then four more agents escorted Rep. John Boehner into our restaurant. It was really something special for us that he decided to have dinner here.” A Secret Service agent asked who would serve the party, and Kosta’s brother Peter Kallas told them he was co-owner of the restaurant and would be serving Boehner, his guests and the Secret Service Agents. Kosta Kallas said Boehner and his party stayed about two hours. “He was pretty informal and we got to talk to him,” he said. “He was nice and he was pleasant. We talked about this and that. We also talked about the restaurant business because his family brought him up in the restaurant business. He laughed and said he knew why we were in the restaurant business since we were Greeks like a lot of other Greeks.” Kallas said Boehner appeared to be relaxed. He shed his coat and loosened his tie. He also was cordial when other restaurant
Steak House 10 owners Peter Kallas, left, and his brother Kosta Kallas, right, smile as they pose for a picture with U.S. Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio. The House speaker had come to Cherry Hills Village for an Oct. 18 fundraiser, and chose to have dinner at the Englewood restaurant. Courtesy photo customers recognized him and came to the table to talk to him. “While we were talking to him, he told us he always tried to support local, familyowned businesses and I’m glad he feels that way,” Kallas said. “I also am glad he came here. This was a huge deal for Steak House 10 and Englewood because Rep. Boehner
could have gone to any restaurant in the Denver area and we are excited and proud he selected to come here to eat. He had a New York steak, Pittsburgh style, which is prepared on a very hot grill so it is seared crisp on the outside and remains rare inside. He said he enjoyed it and dining at Steak House 10 was a good experience.”

Final member named to school board Father of two will fill vacancy created by candidate’s death By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The vacancy left by the death of an Englewood School Board member will be filled by Kevin Ebert, a father of two who has lived in the district for 22 years. He will be sworn in on Nov. 7. The board held a special meeting Oct. 29, and spent almost three hours interviewing and evaluating five finalists before unanimously selecting Ebert to fill the board vacancy created by the death of Gene Turnbull. “My commitment will be second to none if I am selected to be on the school board,” Ebert said at the conclusion of the interviews. “Englewood schools are and have always been near and dear to my heart. I will continue to be active in the district no matter tonight’s decision, because my goal is to have people lining up at the door to get into our schools.”
Ebert is an accountant and comptroller for a number of agencies. His 20-year-old daughter attended Englewood schools and is now in college, and he also has a 13-year-old who attends Englewood Middle School. “I want to work to have a united community and district, fluid enough to met the needs of all the students coming into the district,” Ebert said. By the cutoff date for candidates to file for the November election, there were three candidates to fill three board vacancies — including Turnbull, who was seeking re-election — which meant the election was canceled. However, Turnbull then died on Sept. 4. The board began the process to fill the vacancy by requesting applications, and settled on five finalists — Ebert, Angela Schmitz, Sharon Scheminske, Linda Kapler and Brent Boland. The Oct. 29 meeting to interview finalists was held in the school administration building. The four school board members plus the two incoming members — Tena Prange and Jason Sakry — each asked a question. All candidates answered each
question. After the interviews, Prange and Sakry left during the board discussion designed to result in an appointment. “This will be a very difficult decision because you are five excellent candidates,” Scott Gorsky, board president, said to the candidates at the end of the interviews. “Each of you has commitment, dedication and passion to help our district achieve its goals. Any one of you would be an asset to the board. No matter the outcome tonight, we need to make sure each of you remain very involved in this district.” After a lengthy discussion about the interviews, the responses to the questions and the individual demeanor and personality of each candidate, Board Member Vicki Howard nominated Ebert to fill the vacancy and board members voted 4-0 to approve the appointment. The school board will meet in regular session Nov. 7. At that time members Gorsky and Tom O’Connor will complete their terms and vacate their seats so Prange, Sakry and Ebert can be sworn in to complete the new makeup of the board.
Estes was declared an escaped federal prisoner when he failed to report to a re-entry center on Oct. 15. Estes is suspected of holding up the U.S. Bank branch at 1100 S. Broadway on Oct. 15 and robbing the bank branch in the King Soopers store on Englewood Parkway Estes on Oct. 22. In each case, he reportedly went to the teller, implied he had a gun, took the money and ran. On Oct. 24, U.S. District Court is-
sued an arrest warrant for Estes, charging him with escape from federal custody. He was declared armed and dangerous. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Kenneth Deal said the arrest was made due to the hard work and dedication of the fugitive investigators. The Violent Offender Task ForceColorado is led by the U.S. Marshals Service and includes officers from Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and deputies from the Douglas County and Weld County sheriff’s offices.

Veterans Day ceremonies scheduled Littleton, Fort Logan hold Nov. 11 events By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Two Veterans Day ceremonies, one in Littleton and one at Fort Logan National Cemetery, will be held at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, honoring veterans and those serving in the military. The Littleton ceremony will be held at the World War II memorial at Ketring Park, 6000 S. Gallup St. Fort Logan National Cemetery is at 3698 S. Sheridan Blvd. The Littleton ceremony is sponsored by Pat Hannon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4666 and George C. Evans American Legion Post 103. The guest speaker is Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman. In a separate Veterans Day event at 1 p.m. at Littleton’s St. Mary Catholic School, the Knights of Columbus will present the school a plaque honoring Pat Hannon, the first Littleton resident to die in Vietnam. The ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery are sponsored annually by District 10, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the VFW Ladies Auxiliary, and are held in the open area adjacent to the lake and at the base of the main flagpole. Veterans Day speakers at Fort Logan include Congresswoman Diana DeGette (DDenver) and Sara Elton, chief of operations of the Memorial Service Network, Denver. The event includes placing a ceremonial wreath and flowers at a headstone
The All Veterans Honor Guard fires a 21-gun salute at last year’s Veterans Day ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery. File photo symbolic of the thousands of headstones in the cemetery. The wreath placement is followed by the traditional 21-gun salute. As the last volley is fired, an array of horn players stationed around the lake will play the echo version of “Taps.” When the Fort Logan ceremony ends, lunch will be served at Verle Huffman VFW Post 9644, 2680 W. Hampden Ave.
The nation began honoring veterans in 1926 when Armistice Day was held for the first time to commemorate the end of World War I and to honor those who served. Th event was marked on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the same time, day and month that the fighting ended in World War I. In 1938, the day was declared a national
holiday. In its early history, Armistice Day was focused on honoring World War I veterans. In the early 1950s, Congressman Edwin Rees of Kansas proposed changing the name of the holiday to Veterans Day and making it a time to honor all those who served in the armed forces, and in 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill, officially making Nov. 11 Veterans Day.
City selling land for proposed development Council gives first-round OK for site along Broadway By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood City Council has given firstreading approval to the ordinance selling the small parcel of city-owned land at Broadway and Englewood Parkway to the Englewood Urban Renewal Authority. The council discussed surrounding parking requirements at length at the Oct. 21 meeting before giving approval for the sale of the city-owned parcel, which makes up roughly 10 percent of the total proposed development site of 1.8 acres. Conditions of the pending sale include
EURA paying the city the appraised value for the land of about $215,000. Another cityimposed condition for the sale requires the project to provide adequate parking for the business on the west side of the 3400 block of South Broadway. The definition of adequate parking will be determined by a parking study now being conducted. The city will be paid when EURA sells the land to the developer. Also, if the proposed development doesn’t happen, the ownership of the land returns to the city and EURA will not pay the city for the property. The property on the corner of Broadway and Englewood Parkway is a vacant lot. The city gained ownership of its portion of the site when a building located near the Odd Fellows Hall building burned down.
EURA became landowners in the 1980s when the authority was established to oversee a large urban renewal project that was supposed to remake downtown Englewood. The project required existing businesses to move. Some relocated out of Englewood and others went out of business. The project developer built Trolley Square along the 33oo block of South Broadway and along the parkway. The structure was to be a landmark for the project. Street-level stores were rented along Englewood Parkway and Kaufman’s Tall and Big Men’s Shop remained in place. But the large split-level building was basically empty for about 20 years before it was torn down for King Soopers to expand its parking lot.
Other EURA-owned areas became part of the Marketplace along U.S. 285 and the strip center adjacent to Englewood Parkway and South Galapago Street. The authority retained ownership of the majority of the vacant Broadway/Englewood Parkway lot as well as the parking lot between the alley and street that runs the full length of the 3400 block of South Acoma. Two previous development proposals were unsuccessful. Earlier this year, the authority sent out a request for proposal to develop the site. The EURA reviewed the two proposals and selected Medici. The company’s proposal is to build a mixed-use residential and retail project on the site.

Chemical weapons await destruction in state Facility at Pueblo is far behind initial schedule By Kristin Jones
I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS On the high plains of Pueblo’s eastern edge, fields of concrete bunkers arrayed like a vast cemetery hold most of the remaining stockpile of the nation’s chemical weapons. The earth-covered “igloos” with their reinforced concrete headwalls contain 2,611 tons of mustard agent in mortar rounds and artillery shells. Slated for destruction since at least 1985, the munitions are old, leaky and expensive to protect. The process of dismantling them is 29 years behind schedule and $33.8 billion over budget, according to Defense Department documents and historians. Half a world away, the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons is seeking to take apart Syria’s estimated 1,000-ton stash of poison agent in just eight months. The group was recently awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its work, which proceeds amid a raging civil war. The depot here in Pueblo shows how difficult the job can be, even absent the chaos of war. Stymied by technical barriers, concerned neighbors and increasingly complex environmental regulations, the U.S. effort to get rid of its own weapons of mass destruction has consistently fallen short of projections. Ronald Reagan was president when Congress first directed the Army to eliminate its stockpile of 31,500 tons of mustard agent, sarin and VX developed by the U.S. military for use in war. At that time, the Army thought the job would be done by 1994 and cost $1.7 billion, according to the Henry L. Stimson Center, a Washington, D.C.-based research institute. By the time of the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention — an international treaty
under which the U.S. and other nations agreed to destroy their stockpiles — estimates had shifted. But the U.S. still expected to destroy its arsenal by a 2007 deadline. The convention held out the possibility of a five-year extension. That deadline slipped by last year. In the latest Defense Department projection, the remaining 10 percent of the stockpile won’t be destroyed until 2023, at a total cost of $35.5 billion.
going to be a lifestyle choice,” he says. In 1996, in response to public pressure, Congress directed the Army to seek alternatives to incineration. The result of that effort is a plan to use processes of neutralization — diluting the chemicals with water before treating them — to eliminate the stockpile in Pueblo by 2019. A similar plan is in place for the 523 tons of chemical material, including weaponized sarin, held at Kentucky’s Blue Grass Army Depot, by 2023.
Assumptions ‘off base’
Plant being tested
The initial estimates were “optimistic,” says Greg Mahall, a spokesman for the Army department responsible for destroying most of the stockpile to date. “As we got more and more into the reality of it, we found that some of the assumptions were off base.” Among these assumptions were that the toxic agents would remain inert as they were dismantled. “Some of the mustard projectiles champagned when we opened them — spit out and went like a champagne bottle,” says Mahall. Walls and equipment in the destruction plants were contaminated with the toxic blister agent, creating more cleanup work. At the same time, environmental groups and neighbors of storage sites like Pueblo Chemical Depot presented hurdles to the Army’s plan to incinerate the material. Ross Vincent, a retired chemical engineer, moved to Pueblo with his wife in 1988 thinking that they had arrived in an “environmental nirvana.” When the couple found out at a chamber of commerce meeting that the Army was planning to burn chemical weapons nearby, says Vincent, “My wife and I looked at each other and went, `Uhhh.’” Now 71 and the chair of the local chapter of the Sierra Club, Vincent says he has spent the last quarter-century pushing the Pentagon to seek faster, safer, and more efficient ways to destroy the toxic weapons. “When I got into this, I didn’t know it was
In Pueblo, a destruction plant has been built, and is undergoing a rigorous process of systemization — that is, testing the equipment and training the staff — before its proposed launch in 2015. Even with the technological advances of recent decades, however, the process of neutralizing toxic agents can be especially complicated when they have been built into projectiles and mortars. “Every once in a while the munitions leak,” explains Charles Sprague, spokesman for the Pueblo Chemical Depot. “We usually find the leaking munitions after a good lowpressure storm comes through.” Sensors detect the leaks inside the igloos, and chemical operations crews are sent in with protective equipment to find the culprit, Sprague says. The problem munitions are then packed into other material and put into a separate igloo. These overpacked and leaky munitions can’t be neutralized in the prescribed way, so the current plan is to explode them in mobile detonation chambers. For decades before American environmental regulations came into play in the early 1970s, some weapons were simply buried. A 1996 Army report identified 96 possible chemical weapons burial spots in 38 states. The likely burial sites included Rocky Mountain Arsenal, an area east of Commerce City that once housed facilities for the manufacture of nerve and blister agent.
The 27-square-mile area is now undergoing cleanup as a Superfund site, and has been named a wildlife refuge. Or the munitions were simply tossed into the ocean. The acronym for this method, says Army spokesman Mahall, was CHASE — Cut Holes and Sink ‘Em.
Sarin in Syria
A sarin attack that killed hundreds of people in the suburbs of Damascus, Syria, on Aug. 21 brought a fresh reminder of the horrors these weapons can bring. Faced with the haunting images of the victims of this attack, few would suggest it’s not worth destroying Syria’s stockpile of poison agent. The differences between the two countries’ chemical weapons stockpiles are stark, says Defense Department spokeswoman Jennifer Elzea. The U.S. stockpile was much older, and largely weaponized — put into munitions. “It’s not a very good comparison,” Elzea says. “It was done very slowly and deliberately in the U.S.” Back in Pueblo, Vincent wonders how an arsenal like Syria’s could be destroyed safely in less than a year. He says he’s satisfied that the current proposal for destroying the remaining stockpile in Colorado has come a long way toward eliminating risks and pollutants, though he adds, “None of us is very pleased with the idea of blowing up chemical weapons in the neighborhood.” Many of Vincent’s neighbors, meanwhile, have grown tired of the debates over the chemical weapons stockpile next door, says Irene Kornelly, who chairs the Colorado Citizens Advisory Commission, a watchdog group for the Pueblo Chemical Depot. “There are also a lot of people who don’t care one way or another,” says Kornelly. “At this point, it’s like, just get it done.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) This could be a good time to share some of your plans with those closest to you. Their comments could give you some added insight into how you might accomplish your goals. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) An attack of self-doubt might be unsettling for the usually super-assured Feline. But it could be your inner voice telling you to hold off implementing your plans until you’ve reassessed them.

Fortunately, it lifts by week’s end, in time to make an informed decision. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A surprise trip early in the week could lead to other unexpected offers when you return. Word to the wise: Avoid talking too much about this until you’ve made some decisions.

The worst ever — let’s start with the bad ones — were the early John Elwayera Broncos helmets. I thought a middle school student had won a horse-drawing contest. A rearing bronco was located in a decent block “D.” The horse was snorting. As a classic Dan Aykroyd character, “Bad Cinema” host Leonard Pinth-Garnell, said, “Astonishingly ill-chosen.” But someone came along, looked at a Ford Mustang logo, and came up with the current helmet graphic. Not very creative, but it is a lot better than Flicka was. A close second was the Miami Dolphins helmet pre-2013. It showed a dolphin wearing a helmet. No chinstrap. The dolphin was leaping in front of, not through, an orange hoop. “Stunningly bad.” The Washington Redskins, currently and justifiably being scolded for their nickname, once had a helmet with a single feather up the back. The current helmet emblem is almost as bad. Oregon has a different look every week. Against Washington State they wore Pepto Bismol-pink helmets. If worn every week,
they would be the worst ever. “Monumentally ill-advised.” The cardinal on Louisville’s helmet has teeth. “Stunningly bad.” Tennessee has the worst helmet logo in the NFL. I don’t know how to explain it. A spiky “T” in a circle with three red stars. Spewing from the upper left are what? Powder blue and red flames? Powder blue and red are b-a-d together. The agency that came up with all of this should be avoided. Miami of Ohio. I don’t have the vocabulary. Look it up. “Couldn’t be worse.” Honorable Mention: Akron, Maryland, New York Jets. The Best Ever? University of Michigan. Go Blue. The helmets are iconic, and recognizable around the world. M. Pibul-
Commitment is the key to building will power “Stay strong!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give in!” “Keep the faith!” “Stay the course!” Many times when we begin the pursuit of a worthy goal such as losing weight, stopping smoking, saving money for a specific reason, or getting into shape we very quickly come to the crossroads of temptation and will power. It’s at this intersection where we find ourselves face to face with the desires that drive us toward our “wants” and where our resolve to adhere to our goal or plan becomes tested. And that’s when we have the proverbial angel on our right shoulder and the devil on our left shoulder. The angel is encouraging us to stay strong, reminding us that we can do it and not to give in. And then that little devil on the opposite side pushes us and nudges us and whispers in our ear that, “Its OK, one doughnut won’t hurt, go ahead take a bite, you can start again tomorrow!” Will power is easy for some and much harder for others. Typically people with strong will power are very goals oriented and results driven. When they set their sights on a target, there is not much that they will let stand in their way once they commit themselves and begin their quest towards that goal. However, there are many more of us who struggle with will power. The thoughts or ideas of pursuing a worthwhile goal come easily enough as we really do want to make a change or difference in our health, in a struggling relationship, or in attempting to quit a bad habit. And sometimes we want these things so badly we jump in eagerly towards the “fix” that we blow right by the planning and expectations phase and forget how important it is to set realistic milestones where we can measure our success along the way. Commitment is a big word when it comes to will power. And in order to be committed and dedicated to that which we are pursuing, we have to be able to have a plan, see what victory or success looks like, and manage our expectations along the way. It’s like the person who is not in very good physical condition and wakes up one day and decides they will begin working out immediately that morning. Instead of going in with a plan that starts slowly and builds their muscle strength and endurance up, they rush right in and do as much as possible on day one. I applaud the initiative, but
then day two happens and the person wakes up so sore and in so much pain that they can’t go back to the gym for days. Days turn into weeks, weeks into months. You know the rest of the story. Will power is one of those terms that is easy to say, sounds good, and even feels good when we say it. It is so easy for others to use as a statement of hope and encouragement. But at the end of the day, will power is a very personal thing. We have to want to make the changes in our lives more than any other person. We sure do appreciate their love, support, concern, and encouragement, however as the old saying goes, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me!” To strengthen our will power or resolve for the achievement of our goals we must first make sure we understand the “why” behind the goal, that it is in alignment with our truest beliefs and values, that we can commit to the actions necessary, that we have a support team, family member, friend, or coach that can help us when needed, and that we define what success looks like along the way. And that last one may very well be the most important. Too often we get caught in the trap of wanting to achieve our goal without putting in the effort or hard work necessary to complete it or see it through, expecting immediate success or change. Will power is the ability to say “no” to the things we know that can detract us from our goals or mission, and saying “yes” to the things that are harder but lead to the results we desire. How are you doing when it comes to will power? Are you paying the price or enjoying the benefits? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we learn how to manage our will power, it really will be a better than good week.

songkrimpud of Bangkok, Thailand, said, “Wolvereenies,” when he was shown a photo of the helmet. The University of Delaware swiped the design, but that’s OK because no one knows where Delaware is. Next to the Carolinas, I think. The old Los Angeles Rams helmets, yellow-gold on dark blue, were exceptional. The origin of the ram horn design is a good story. “In 1948, halfback Fred Gehrke painted horns on the Rams’ helmets, making the first modern helmet emblem in pro football.” Cleveland didn’t get the memo. The Browns are the only team in the NFL with nothing on their helmets, other than a stripe. Pittsburgh has a logo on only one side — which is a good trivia question. The Seattle Seahawks have a great helmet logo. It reads from a distance, and it is an effective truncation. Compare it to the “busy” Washington State image, which tries to be both a roaring cougar and the school’s abbreviation. In other words, is it a floor wax or a dessert topping? For some reason, many of the schools that have the most impressive history, have helmets that are completely uninspired
— starting with Penn State. They look like scout team helmets. Poor Penn State. It’s more like State Pen these days. The “Ns” on Nebraska’s helmets were purchased at a Lincoln hardware store. Oklahoma experimented with an italic “OU” for a while, but they have gone back to dullsville. Still, the interlocking “OU” is better than that “N.” Some schools are using new matte helmets. Notre Dame’s will blind you. Maybe that’s the plan. The least of the least? Alabama, currently ranked number one. Each helmet is different, and do you know why? Each player’s number is on his helmet. Louisiana State has “LSU” on its helmets. I guess they’ve never heard of kerning, which is “the process of adjusting the spacing between characters.” Beneath “LSU” is an impossible-to-read tiger head, so LSU makes it in two of my categories: worst and least inspired. Pinth-Garnell said, “There, now, that wasn’t so good, was it?”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
When do you start holiday shopping? With the holidays approaching fast, Colorado Community Media went to The Parker Shoppes in Parker to ask: When do you start your holiday shopping?
“I start as early as I can. The problem is, I hide the presents and don’t find them until March. My husband waits until Christmas Eve.” — Janeen Lebkuecher, Parker
“I feel like I usually start December 23rd. It’s just procrastinating. I don’t enjoy holiday shopping. I put if off and make it even worse.” — Mike Matthews, Denver
“Usually in the middle of October, so there is not so much stress as it gets closer to Christmas.” — Nancy Browning, Castle Pines
“I try to shop every day throughout the year … you find the most interesting and eclectic things if you don’t have a list you’re trying to satisfy.” — Louise Sparks, Denver
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Energy big in state’s economy
We need to escape this cycle of government budget crises. It’s time for a “grand bargain” to reform entitlements and taxes. Not all business segments are taxed fairly. The average effective tax rate for S&P companies was 29 percent over the past five years, but energy companies paid an average of 37 percent. Any tax reform needs to reflect these differences. Unfortunately, we’ve heard calls to shut energy “loopholes,” which would raise energy

taxes even higher. But the loopholes referenced are actually basic deductions and tax credits that many businesses can claim. Energy plays a significant role in Colorado’s economy.

School foundation to hold Fall Fling Fundraiser will feature food, music, auctions By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com A ticket to Englewood Education Foundation’s Fall Fling is a ticket to a good time, plus it helps the foundation fund school projects that otherwise wouldn’t happen. The Fall Fling will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 9 in the community room located on the second floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. The event features food, live music by professional performer Brian Leonard, an Englewood High School graduate, a silent auction and a live auction. A variety of items have been donated for the auctions. A number of Broncos alumni will attend, and an item on the auction is to play a round of golf with a pair of them. The specific alumni attending hadn’t been confirmed at press time. The event has a sports theme and those attending are urged to wear their favorite team’s colors or jerseys. Suits and ties are
Attendees check out the silent auction last year at the Englewood Education Foundation’s Fall Fling. This year’s fling will be held Nov. 9 at the Englewood Civic Center. File photo not allowed. Tickets are $50 per person. For information on the event or to buy tickets, call 303-761-4021. “Fall Fling is our major annual event to raise funds for our projects,” said Karen Miller, EEF president. “The proceeds from
last year’s Fall Fling went a long way toward helping us award about $18,000 in scholarships to 2012 graduates of Englewood High School and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School. Last year, we were also able to provide more than $19,000 in creativity
grants to teachers in our schools.” Creativity grants provide full or partial funding for projects that aren’t budget items. Some of the programs receiving creativity grants in recent years include a joint high school/middle school rocket club, and a program to help Spanish-speaking students and parents build better English language skills. One of the projects selected for continued funding this year is the elementary school program offering after school violin and cello lessons, called Strings Attached. Strings Attached was established as a pilot program at the beginning of the 200203 school year and marked the first time in about two decades Englewood elementary school students have had the opportunity to take beginning music lessons through the schools. The Englewood Education Foundation was created in 1989 by a group of supporters seeking ways to materially help Englewood schools. The foundation was created to provide a way to raise donations of money and materials to support school programs not funded through the district budget.
Pumpkins, people on hand for exercise ACC fitness event has Halloween theme
More than 50 adults and children donned costumes, brought pumpkins and used them as they went through a series of exercises at the Oct. 26 Pumpkin Boot Camp at Arapahoe Community College. “This is fun,” Tammy Moore said as she took part in the event. “I joined the fitness program and lost 60 pounds. It is a great way to make friends and today, I’m just having fun.”
This is the seventh year ACC and Camp MisFits has sponsored the event. Those attending were urged to “Be a Rock Star” and some of the costumes include Sonny and Cher and Cyndi Lauper. Special activities were set up for the children, and each adult was urged to bring a pumpkin weighing six to 10 pounds that would be part of the exercise program. The pumpkins were lifted and swung around during the routines. Patricia Jackson Peters had the most unusual pumpkin, as hers was in a can. “I didn’t have a pumpkin and the can is light, so it’s easier to exercise with,” she said. “Besides, I had to be a bit of a smart aleck.”

River’s facelift going forward Changes will stretch from C-470 north By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com The workflow continues on the South Platte River, with the next phase of improvements set to begin in January. “We’re trying to get it to be more of a creek inside a river,” explained Ben Nielsen of McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group, which is consulting on the project. The first phase, the portion of the river that runs through South Platte Park, wrapped up in June at a cost of $880,000. Features were added to create a more meandering path in some places, and the banks were stabilized. The river was narrowed from 100 feet across to 40, in turn deepening it. All the enhancements were designed to maintain flood protection while improving the living conditions for fish and other wildlife. The same will occur in phase two, from the Meadowood mobile-home community upstream to South Platte Park, at an expected cost of $1.1 million. The third and last phase, from Mineral Avenue upstream to C-470, should start in November of next year and cost $2.6 million. Arapahoe County and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District are the major funders, but they’re joined by the cities of Littleton and Englewood, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and South Sub-
urban Parks and Recreation District. The goal is to cure ailments caused by the construction of Chatfield Dam, built after the major flood in 1965. The once-rushing flow of the river is now controlled by the release of water from Chatfield Reservoir. This lowered the water level, resulting in a shallower river too narrow for its banks. It also straightened the Platte’s course and, because water from Chatfield is free of sediment, created perfect conditions for excessive erosion. This threatens the trees and other vegetation on the river’s banks. All in all, the Platte is a much less attractive environment for wildlife than before the dam existed. “A natural-based restoration approach was taken for proposed improvements whenever possible,” reads a report prepared by Ecological Resource Consultants Inc., which designed the project. “The guiding principle of the natural-restoration approach is that an enhanced stream system should mimic a natural channel in appearance and function. Re-creating the natural form and function within the stream system will allow lost natural balance to be restored.” A separate project is in the works for north of Littleton, which will create a “miniConfluence Park” between Oxford and Union avenues. It could feature kayaking, surfing, tubing and wading, and be accessible to the disabled. The South Platte Working Group is still rounding up money for it, but assuming all goes well, construction should start in winter of next year.
Ducks cruise the South Platte River Oct. 22, paddling through the area where improvements were completed in June. The next phase is slated to start in January and will focus on a stretch of river downstream of South Platte Park. Photo by Jennifer Smith
‘Walking with the Dead’ is creepy tour Museum event blends facts with frights By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com On a dark and stormy night, the dead walked the grounds of Littleton Museum. OK, none of that was true. It was the end of a glorious fall day Oct. 26, and they were just museum volunteers portraying characters long gone by during the “Walking with the Dead” tour of the 1860s farm. They brought to life the likes of Sleepy Hollow’s Ichabod Crane and the Fox sisters, who inadvertently created the spiritualism movement in the 1840s by convincing people they could communicate with their dead loved ones — for a price, of course. “Even when the Fox sisters admitted it was a hoax, people still believed,” said tour guide Jennifer Barnett. Then there were local charlatans like undertaker E.P. McGovern, who was hired in 1893 to remove the remains from what was then a cemetery to make way for what is now Denver’s Cheesman Park. He was paid $1.90 a body, and soon realized he could make more money by chopping up adults and placing their pieces in child-size coffins. “It was a messy process,” said guide Jen-

According to the Legends of America website, neighbors began to report sad and confused looking spirits knocking at their doors and windows, and moans coming from the park. It’s said that these restless spirits remain today, with many visitors experiencing feelings of unexplainable sad-

ness and hearing whispering voices and moans. What’s for sure, though, is that the job was never finished, and skeletons still occasionally turn up. Cheesmanpark.net says it’s likely there are still thousands below the surface. The “ghost” of a wealthy but stranded
traveler who was murdered in Franktown in 1871 also visited the museum during the tour. It perhaps was looking for two of the men who murdered him in a cabin quite similar to the museum’s 1860s log cabin, where Woeste told his story. The MacIntyre family graciously took the traveler in, fed him a hearty stew and then as he slept, stabbed him to death and robbed him. Several days later, a posse seized the elder McIntyre and his two sons after finding the dead man’s body. The sons confessed to the killing and told the posse their father was not involved. But only one son was hanged, as the other had slipped away with his father, never to be seen again. The tour was educational as well as eerie. A lesson on death photography revealed that glycerin could be used to plump up a deflating eyeball, and glue applied to keep the lids open. But the demonstration went awry when the photographer tried to show the visitors how to insert a spoon into the deceased’s eyes to hold them open, and his very much alive assistant suddenly became uncooperative. Before the evening was over, visitors would encounter a roaming scarecrow, gates dangling from trees and other oddities. “Pranks were enormously popular,” said Woeste.

problems with access to businesses during construction. I will promise we will do all we can to make the impact on the neighboring businesses as minor as possible.” Property owner John Fetters III said parking is the big elephant in the room. “Medici is building a parking garage and promises shared parking. The question is, will customers use those spaces,” he said. “I wonder if the design of the parking garage can be altered for a surface area of angled parking for business customers.” In response, Gladwell said the current proposal is to have a total of 208 parking spaces in the garage and on the surface lot. Some will be designated for businesses and the remainder will be shared by apartment residents and business customers. “The project is in the design stage and can be altered,” he said. “We will base our total parking spaces on the parking study now being done. We want there to be parking for the businesses and for the apartment residents. We hear concerns and will take suggestions into consideration as we move forward with the design.” Other issues raised included Gladwell’s promise to work with Xcel Energy about putting utilities un-
derground. He said he won’t do it if the cost of changing the service is too costly for the adjacent businesses. Paul Webster, owner of Brews on Broadway said he felt a project like this was needed. “This project will benefit everyone as it changes the face of the area and the face of Englewood,” he said. “We need a change like this to attract more people to stop and shop in our community.” Ted Vasilas, owner of Ted’s Clothiers, said while he believes the idea is great, he is concerned by its size. “I believe they are trying to squeeze too much into this small space,” he said. “Many businesses, like the thrift store, have a lot of traffic dropping items off. There must be a way to accommodate those customers.” Gladwell said Oct. 24 he thought the meeting went well. “I knew people were concerned and I appreciate the fact they spoke their mind respectfully,” he said. “As I said, this project will have an impact on surrounding businesses, but we promise to try to reduce that impact as much as possible.” He said he and the other members of the team listened to people, and he felt the people listened to the comments of the team. “We heard the issues about parking and we heard some new issues,” he said. “As we work to develop the final design, we’ll do the best we can to deal with all those issues.”

For Daniel Ritchie, it’s girl’s night out

Flying DISCS, flying DOGS
Champions converge on Clement Park By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Dozens of doggies from around the country converged on Clement Park over the Oct. 26-27 weekend for the Final UFO Major, hosted for the first time by Colorado Disc Dogs. They competed in levels from simple toss and catch all the way up to freestyle, where the pooches and their people perform choreographed routines, showing off their signature moves. In honor of Halloween, there was even a doggie costume contest and trick-or-treating among sponsoring vendors. Colorado Disc Dogs was founded in 1994 and welcomes new members, even hosting a training event every spring. “It is one of the biggest and most successful disc dog clubs in the world,” according to the UFO website. “Teams from the club are always in the top of the standings at every event they participate in, judges from the club are highly sought for their experience and skills, and club events are heavily attended all year long.”
For a suit-and-tie CEO of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Daniel Ritchie makes a handsome woman. And he proved just how fetching he can be in a blingy ball gown during “Theatre Threads,” a costume department fashion show featuring models from the DCPA’s financial and emotional support group. As an unadvertised final entry in the fashion show, Ritchie shuffled to the microphone where 9News entertainment editor Kirk Montgomery was lending emcee duties. Much to the delight of the lunching crowd, Ritchie sported a Texas-sized blond wig, full makeup, false eyelashes, figurehugging bedazzled gown, feather stole, full-length black gloves and black patent open-toe heels. In a twisted way, he looked hot! Ritchie was promoting “The Legend of Georgia McBride,” which plays in the Ricketson Theatre from Jan. 10 to Feb. 23. “We didn’t have costumes yet so we hired a professional drag queen, and he worked with Dan on the outfit,” said Alexandra Griesmer, public relations and promotions manager for the Denver Center Theatre Company. “(Ritchie) was such a great sport — didn’t take much convincing!” Ritchie said his gender-bender experience lent him more empathy toward females. “I learned that high heels are risky,” Ritchie said while Montgomery, dressed as one of the Three Musketeers, doubled over in laughter. “I was surprised to learn what you do every day. My respect is even higher (for women).” The play is about a straight young man who unexpectedly takes a dip into the world of drag, Ritchie said. “I didn’t know much about being a woman, so I thought I should learn firsthand.” Denver Center Alliance’s Theatre Threads is a tribute to the talent and passion of the models and backstage stars, Denver Center Theatre Company’s costume department. Proceeds support the Arts in Education program, which allows more than 50,000 students the opportunity to experience live theater this academic year.
The incredible shrinking anchor Jeff Hill and his dog Enzo were in the Halloween spirit as they practiced Oct. 25 at Clement Park for the Colorado Disc Dog championships. The pair traveled all the way from their home in California to compete.
Have you seen 9News entertainment anchor Kirk Montgomery lately? Rather, have you seen what’s left of him? His cheeks are no longer “cherubbed,” and his torso is oh so trim. I caught his act last week, and couldn’t help asking Montgomery the secret to his slimmed-down success. “I downloaded a free app (My Plate from www.livestrong.com) and I’ve been counting calories,” he told me. “I input the good the bad and the ugly — and just getting into the habit of doing that was an eye-opener. I’ve tried to stay around 1,500 (calories consumed) a day. Some days are lower, some higher, but I’ve lost weight before — the goal this time is to keep it off.”

ACC holds ‘Poems for Malala’ reading
Ceramics offered at one-day sale Stoneware ideal for use at home or holiday gifts
Pakistani teen is advocate for education of girls
By Sonya Ellingboe

By Sonya Ellingboe
Ceramic art is an ancient craft, dating back to B.C. days, but it is still a satisfying outlet for creative people and contemporary pottery is a desired addition to many homes. Eight local potters who met in Sally Burns’ Monday class at Goodson Recreation Center have organized their second pottery sale and chosen a group name: Clay Crafters. (Burns has also taught at the Cheyenne Studio at Highlands Ranch’s Southridge Recreation Center.) Participants are: Diane Gaither, three years’ experience; Barb Grohoski, 30-plus years; Peg Redding, four-plus years; Don Ryan, 30-plus years; Kathryn Schindler, 30-plus years; Matthew Hammer, 28-plus years; Cathy Benn, 10-plus years; and Cindy Ellingboe, eight years. (Hammer
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com The extraordinary 16-year-old Pakistani student, Malala Yousafzai, has captured the imagination of millions worldwide, after an assassination attempt on Oct. 9, 2012, when she was shot in the head and neck. Following expert medical care in Great Britain, she has continued to advocate for education for girls, spoken at the UN on her 16th birthday, been featured on the Cover of Time magazine as one of “The Most Influential People in the World” and been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The winner of Pakistan’s first National Youth Peace Prize, who continues to advocate for worldwide access to education, has been honored by an anthology, “Poems for Malala,” published by FutureCycle Press. Poets from throughout the world have contributed to it, including Kathryn Winograd and Chris Ransick of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. ACC’s Writers Studio will host a “Poems for Malala” evening from 6 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 8 in the Colorado Gallery of the Arts. Poet and anthology editor Joseph Hutchison will open the program and describe how the anthology came about. He, Winograd and others will read from the anthology, which includes poems by such well-known writers as Linda Hogan, Jane Hirshfield and Ellen Bass. A suggested $5 donation from audience members will go to the Malala Fund, as will proceeds from book sales. (Order from Amazon.) Winograd said she was reeling from the death of Jessica Ridgeway in Wheat Ridge when Malala was shot and her poem, “etymology of girl,” reflects her concern. It con-
cludes: “malala: all-honey or grief-stricken, and you, dear dead girl of the grass. Fetching it to me with full hands, God beholds blossoms, pearls, inner sea fold of petal, flower flesh — what else did men name you centuries centuries” A representative of the Denver-based not-for-profit, Woman’s Development Association, will talk about its work in Lahore, Pakistan, with indigent, illiterate women. A video will be played of a talk by member Josna Azim, who comes from a region near Malala’s. She is leaving Nov. 1, so her talk was recorded and her son, Asher Azim, will introduce it Area high school poets have been invited to contribute work and read at the event, Winograd said.

‘This is Colorado’ returns to ACC Show features wide range of paintings By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews. com Eighty paintings by Colorado’s fine artists fill the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College, in the annual “This is Colorado” exhibit, sponsored for many years by the local Heritage Fine Arts Guild of Arapahoe County. It has appeared at numerous venues previously, but not in this handsome gallery, a natural location for it. The show, which runs through Nov. 15, was juried by artist Phyllis Vandehaar, former chair of the art department at Arapahoe High School and popular local teacher at Roxborough State Park and elsewhere. “If art isn’t challenging, enlightening and enjoyable, something is wrong,” she said. She gave a written comment to each artist whose work was accepted in the show. Paintings in the show vary from traditional oils to abstract acrylics to several mixed media fabric collages, which verge on sculptural — although the show features only two-dimensional works. Veteran painter/teacher Robert Gray of Highlands Ranch won the Best of Show award for his
Castle Rock
large romantic watercolor, “Rainbow Sky,” which depicts a mountain lake at a magic moment when a rainbow fills the sky and is reflected in the water. Located just inside the gallery entrance to the right, it shows great skill with a difficult medium in the careful interplay of color and light and dark. Gray once maintained a studio in downtown Littleton (on Alamo) and has been teaching at Tri-Lakes Center for the Arts in Palmer Lake recently, as well as HFAG and other workshops. First place was awarded to Lee Wasilik of Littleton, also an experienced painter, for his “Rocky Mountain Sunday,” a cozy scene of congregants gathered in front of a white traditional wooden church. The painterly technique in this acrylic work stands out. MK, Marykay Moore Jacobus’ jovial “Women — All That Jazz” won second place. Jacobus, current HFAG president, has worked tirelessly to keep this significant statewide exhibit going for a number of years, aided, of course by numerous guild members. She deserves community recognition. Third place winner was Diane Edwards’ cheerful “Poppies on the Front Range,” a drift of red poppies, with mountains in the distance. The ACC Gallery Director Award, selected by Trish Sangelo, went to Janet Ford for “In the Colorado Moment.” Merit awards were given to Linda Metcalf for her abstract “All That Jazz”; to longtime member Orrel Schooler

pirates volleyball season ends Coach says young team has a promising future By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The young Englewood High School volleyball team battled hard but lost to Vista Peak 3-1 in the Oct. 26 match that closed out the regular season for the Pirates. “I am proud of how they played tonight,” Englewood coach Kristal Kostiew said after the game. “In the middle of the season we were struggling to get three hits on the ball to get it across the net. But the girls found the passion and desire I knew they had as individuals and as a team and, tonight, they played their best match of the season.” Kostiew said the future of the Pirate program looks good. “We will graduate three seniors so we should have a strong foundation of players with varsity experience back next year,” she said. “We also had a good junior varsity team plus a C team and a D team. The majority of our players are freshmen and sophomores, so I am excited by our potential to become a strong, competitive volleyball team and program.” The way the Pirates played Oct. 26 against Vista Peak didn’t reflect the fact that Englewood came into the match with a 3-19 record. The Bison had to battle to score each point. Pirate players went high at the net to reject Vista Peak hits and, on occasion, dove to the floor to hit the ball and keep it in play. A team has to win three games to win a best-of-five-game volleyball match. Vista Peak won the first game 25-20 and won the second game, 25-16. The third game belonged to the Pirates. They were up early 17-8, but Vista Peak battled back to make the score 17-14. With Reighan Kirklin serving, the Pirates scored four straight points. The Bison got close again but Englewood kept battling. With the score 23-19, Julie Kline served for Englewood. She delivered an ace, a serve that hits the floor untouched, to make it game point. The next serve was returned, and the Pirates sent it back across the net. When the Bison attempted to spike it, two Englewood players blocked the hit to the floor on the Vista Peak side of the net to give the Pirates the win, 25-19. Vista Peak regrouped and won the de-

Today’s win proved it. It was a big step for our team.” Senior Lindsey McNorton wiped away a tear as she talked about the season.
“This season has been a battle because we were a young team and had so much to learn about playing volleyball,” McNorton, the defensive specialist, said. “We have made major improvements. For example, we were making plays and making blocks we didn’t know how to do three weeks ago.” She smiled and said the game win was
important to all Pirate players. She said it raised the morale and confidence of everyone on the team. “Volleyball is my game, it is where my heart is,” she said. “I have played here for four years and it is sad to know time on the high school court is over. I’ll play soccer in the spring but I’ll still be looking to continue to play volleyball.”
Englewood seeks victory in football Pirates travel to Skyview as season comes to close By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com After dropping the home finale to Vista Peak, 41-17, the Englewood Pirates will be looking to snap a five-game losing streak when the team travels to Ditirro Stadium Nov. 2 to play football against Skyview in the final game of the season. This will be a game both teams will want to win. Skyview is 1-8 overall and 0-4 in league while the Pirates are 3-6 and 0-4 in league Statistics show that Skyview prefers to throw the football, as the Wolverines have completed 154 of 297 passes for 1,730 yards. On the other hand, Englewood prefers the ground game. The Pirates have run the ball 330 times and have gained 1,785 yards. Nick Bersagel is the rushing leader with 166 carries for 1,030 yards. But the Pirates will go to the air as they have completed 42 of 76 passes for 831 yards. The kickoff is scheduled at noon Nov. 2 in Ditirro Stadium which is located near the intersection of West 88th Avenue and Devonshire Boulevard. The Pirates battled hard in the Oct. 25

Photo by Tom Munds home finale and stayed close early. But Vista Peak took advantages of Englewood miscues and won the game, 41-14. “It was a tough night against an athletic team that is big and fast,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said of the game. “The halftime score was 22-6. We came out, scored, got the ball back but fumbled, and the wheels
sort of fell off for us.” Looking to next season, Graves said the Pirates can regroup, and since they will redraw the schedule, they will probably play local teams. “We remain the smallest 3A team in the state,” the coach said. “We’ll miss the seniors who will graduate in June. But our JV
team has only lost one game and half our linemen are sophomores. So, we just have to focus, get in the weight room and get ready for next season.” Graves said senior Chris Gutierrez had an outstanding game against Vista Peak as he caught seven passes for 146 yards and, on defense, made an interception as he leads the league in that category with seven picks for the season. “We had to throw the football more this game, so I had to find an opening so the quarterback could get the ball to me,” Gutierrez said about the game. “After I caught a couple passes, they started bumping me at the line of scrimmage to try to slow me down but I found I was still able to get open.” He said on defense, he is assigned to cover the opponent’s best receiver. “When I am covering a receiver, I stay with him and watch for the ball,” he said. “The interception against Vista Peak, the ball was underthrown a little so I jumped in front of him, got up in the air and made the catch.” He said he enjoys both sides of the ball but likes offense the best. “I like the feel of catching the ball,” he said. “It also is a great feeling to make a catch and take it in for a touchdown. That is the best feeling possible.”

Lions score win over Kennedy

Littleton victory keeps playoff hopes alive
CHERRY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL
By Tom Munds

Littleton gave Lions fans a lot to cheer about as the football team combined a balanced attack and a stingy defense to post a 21-3 win over Kennedy on Oct. 25, which was senior night and the final home game of the season. “This was a good game for our kids and it shows them that, if we work hard, we get better every week,” Littleton coach Kurt Krantz said after the game. “It is important to finish strong and this is a step in that direction. The victory raised the Lions’ season mark to 4-5 and at least gave them an outside chance to make the Class 4A playoffs, provided they close out the season Oct. 31 with a win over Dakota Ridge. Littleton faces a challenge against the Eagles as they are second in the league with a 6-3 record. Statistics show the Eagles like to throw the ball, as quarterback Braxton Thais has completed 144 of 231 passes for 2,031 yards and 20 touchdowns. However, they also have a strong game with Aaron Nelson as the leader, as he has carried 191 times for 1,004 yards and 17 touchdowns. The game will be played at 6 p.m. Oct. 31 in Trailblazer Stadium in Jefferson County. On Oct. 25, Littleton kicked off to Kennedy, stopped the Commanders and forced a punt. The Lions then mounted a sustained drive and scored a touchdown on a one-yard run by Austin Sonju. The extra point try failed, so the score was 6-0 with 4:51 left in the first quarter. Kennedy rebounded with a drive that took them to the Lions’ nineyard line. However, penalties and a sack pushed the Commanders back so they finally kicked a 23-yard field goal near the end of the quarter to make the score 6-3 at halftime. Littleton took the second-half kickoff and launched another drive. aid it The big play was a long pass from very- Nick McNamee to Austin Biebar that took the ball to the Kennedy six-yard e my line.

Photo by Tom Munds for an aerial touchdown play. The two-point conversion was good so the score was 14-3 early in the third quarter. Later in the third period, the Lions struck again. The 60-yard drive culminated with an eight-yard run by Noah McGhee. The extra point was good and the Lions won the game 21-3, since there was no scoring in the final quarter. “Our kids played hard. We have about 20 seniors on the team, it was their last game and all our guys wanted the win for them,” the coach said. Senior McNamee said the Lions’ game plan was to use a strong running game to set up the passes. “We ran plays hard inside the tackles and usually gained yardage,” the quarterback said. “Running the ball set up our bootleg passes that helped us move the ball.” He said this personally was an emotional game since it was the last time he would play high school football in front of the home crowd. “We have worked hard, it has been a pretty good season and tonight’s win was sweet,” he said. “It helps our record and gives us at least a small chance to get into the state playoffs as we go into the last game of the regular season.” McNamee finished the night completing 10 of 14 passes for 161
yards, and his longest of the night was 67 yards. He passed for a touchdown and he also rushed eight times for 20 yards. The running game was working as McGee carried 10 times for 86 yards and Sonju carried 19 times for 84 yards. Leading receivers included Tre Blake with four catches for 87 yards and Bieber with five catches for 69 yards. Defensively, the Lions held the Kennedy offense in check, giving up some yardage but no touchdowns. One of the defensive leaders was senior Sean Malloy. “Kennedy was a decent team and they fought hard the whole game,” he said after the game. “Like the other seniors, this was an emotional game for me. It was hard to be here tonight and to realize it is my final time to play on this field. We really wanted this game and it felt good to win tonight.” Malloy plays both offense and defense but said he likes to play offense best. “I like the feeling I get when I make a good block on a guy and put him on his back. I had a couple of those tonight,” he said with a smile. “I did pretty well on defense as I made some tackles and we won the game, so it turned out to be a good night all around.”

Special to Colorado Community Media Arapahoe’s Emily Wolff finished ninth in a time of 19:32.7 at the Class 5A state cross country meet Oct. 26 in Colorado Springs. She was confident coming in, but knew the competition was going to be strong. “I love this course and it’s exciting being here,” Wolff said. “I felt confident on the first mile and on the hill and that’s where you have to concentrate. The first mile I was running in the top 10 and I was able to stay there. You just can’t worry, you have to stay focused, and I think I was able to be accomplished here.” Monarch won its third straight Class 5A state title. The Coyotes placed six runners among the top 27, scoring 49 points, to run away with the championship. In the process, Monarch placed three runners in the top 10 with fifth-place Ashley Litoff leading the way with a time of 19 minutes, 9.2 seconds.
