Local artists’ work displayed Malley Senior Center hosts show by hobbyists By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The 66 works of art that make up the eighth annual Englewood Art Exhibit are set up in the lobby of the Malley Senior Recreation Center, 3380 S. Lincoln St., and will be on display through Oct. 13. The show is free and open to the public. The remaining viewing hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 11, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 12 and 9 a.m. to noon Oct. 13. The show displays 66 artworks by 39 local artists. The entries are very diverse in style and medium. Organizers say the show is an opportunity for individuals who create art for fun to show off their talents. The theme of the show is: “Artist by hobby, not by profession.” Artist Linda Keefover attended the show’s opening reception on Oct. 3. “I decided to start painting seven years ago to see if I could do it,” the longtime Englewood resident said with a smile. “I actually surprised myself that I was able to do well.”
Englewood resident Linda Keefover talks about her painting that is part of the art exhibit on display at the Malley Senior Center. The show features 66 artworks by 39 artists. Keefover’s entry this year is a watercolor painting of a Texas mission. “I saw the picture of this mission, I liked it and decided to paint it. Of course, I added
my own touches and colors to the finished painting,” she said. “I had an entry I liked better last year but I like the way this painting turned out and I love it.”
School board members voted unanimously to change the high school class schedule so crews can come in over the Thanksgiving break to move the high school classrooms into the newly finished wing that will eventually become home to Englewood Middle School. “The fact phase one construction is at least 30 days ahead of schedule makes it possible to have the high school classrooms shifted to the temporary location over the Thanksgiving holiday instead of delaying the move until the winter holiday break,” Brian Ewert, school superintendent, told the school board at the Oct. 1 meeting. “In order to adjust the moving dates, the board needs to officially change the high school calendar.” The calendar changes apply only to the Englewood High School and the Englewood Leadership Academy. The change gives those students a five-day Thanksgiving break. The Thanksgiving break for the remainder of Englewood students will be three days. The calendar changes would make Nov. 25 and 26, originally scheduled as class days, work days for teachers. The change will accommodate moving the classroom furniture and materials by Nov. 25. Then Nov. 26 can be a day when teachers have the time to set up their new classrooms. The second schedule change for Englewood High School and Englewood Leadership Academy is that students School continues on Page 20

ENGLEWOOD POLICE REPORT Equipment theft foiled
Englewood police arrested a man trying to drive away with a piece of construction equipment that didn’t belong to him. Officers went to the intersection of South Tejon Street and West Vassar Avenue about 9:55 p.m. Oct. 2 to investigate a report that a man has started a tractor on a construction site and driven it south on Tejon Street. Officers searched the area and stopped a 55-year-old man in a truck that was hauling a piece of construction equipment called a Ditch Witch on a trailer. The police report said it appeared the equipment had just been driven onto the trailer. Officers investigated and found the man didn’t have permission to take the equipment from the construction site and appeared to be trying to steal it. The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of felony theft as well as several traffic charges and a Commerce City warrant. The suspect’s truck was im-
pounded and the Ditch Witch was released to the owner.

Drug arrest made
Injury accident investigated
A traffic stop about 7:15 p.m. Oct. 4 resulted in arrest of a passenger in a van on drug charges. Officers stopped a white van in the 2700 block of South Zuni Street for speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road. Officers recognized the passenger from prior contacts, and an investigation was started when police were unable to determine the owner of the van. Englewood requested assistance from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office K-9 officer and a search turned up positive results as officers found methamphetamine, narcotic pills, heroin and a large amount of cash inside the van. Agents from the Arapahoe County Impact Team arrived and their investigation showed the drugs and cash belonged to the van’s passenger. The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of possession of con-
Englewood police are investigating an accident that happened about 11 p.m. Oct. 5 near the intersection of Englewood Parkway and South Bannock Street that seriously injured two people on a motorcycle. According to the police report, the motorcycle was traveling west in the 100 block of Englewood Parkway when it struck the curb and traveled through the median. The motorcycle reported tumbled and the 41 year-old male driver and his 26-year-old female passenger were thrown off the vehicle. Neither person on the motorcycle was wearing a helmet. They were transported to Swedish Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. Traffic investigators arrived on scene and it appears speed and alcohol were factors contributing to the accident. As of Oct. 7, both motorcycle passengers remained at Swedish Medical Center and were listed in critical condition.

tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Codell Loats, accused of trying to kill his parents in their Englewood home more than a year ago, entered a not guilty plea in his case on Sept. 16. The judge set Dec. 9 as the next court date, but that could change depending on the outcome of the court-ordered mental evaluation at the state mental health facility in Pueblo. Lisa Pinto, spokeswoman for 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, Loats said by email that a defense motion not to have Loats undergo the evaluation on constitutional grounds was denied Sept. 30, and he was ordered to undergo evaluation for his mental status at the time of the offense. Loats, 29, faces charges including firstdegree attempted murder for allegedly using a large wrench to beat and injure his 59-year-old father and his 56-year-old mother in their home in the 4700 block of South Acoma Street in September 2012. Police investigated and declared Loats a suspect, and he was arrested by Morrison police. Bail was set at $1 million and Loats has been in the Arapahoe County jail since his arrest.

School homecoming week busy Big game will be held against Weld Central By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com
Homecoming week at Englewood High School began Oct. 10 with an assembly that kicked off activities including student lunchtime contests and float building, to the concluding weekend with the Oct. 18 Englewood-Weld Central football game and the Oct. 19 homecoming dance. Everything planned in the early part of the week is for and about students. Since each of the four classes, freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors, vie to earn class points, organizers come up with o kill lunchtime contests that can range from a more dance-off to an air guitar competition. ea in A series of activities fills the Oct. 16 calendar. There is a schedule of special lunchtime events that are followed by a busy evening that kicks off with the powder puff football game at 6:30 p.m. The powder puff game is flag football, as the girls of the freshmen and sophomore classes join forces against a team of juniors and seniors. Since the girls are playing football, it is logical for boys, many of them football players, to don the proper attire, pick up the pompons and become the cheerleaders. The usually spirited powder puff is folional lowed by the homecoming pep rally that, was men-
because of the construction, will be held the stadium. The evening’s activities wrap up with the snake dance to the practice field for the bonfire about 8:30 p.m. Student-related activities are scheduled Oct. 17 but there is a lot on the agenda the next day. On Oct. 18 there is an assembly introducing the homecoming royalty. Then, not long after lunch, middle school and high school classes end for the day so kids can get ready to take part in the parade. The early release also provided the opportunity for those who aren’t in the parade to watch it. In keeping with longstanding tradition, the Pirates marching band will lead the parade, stepping off from the starting point at 1:30 p.m. and marching along the same route as last year. The parade will follow the route used last year with the assembly point on West Union Avenue, adjacent to Englewood Middle School, 300 W. Chenango Ave. The bands, floats and marching groups will then proceed north on Delaware and go past Clayton Elementary School before turning east on Tufts Avenue. The parade will cross Broadway, pass Cherrelyn Elementary School and turn north on Logan Street, with the parade ending in the student parking lot at Englewood High School. In addition to the Pirates marching band, the Englewood Middle School band will be in the parade, which also features homecoming royalty riding in convertibles as well as floats from the four classes,

Clayton Elementary School students line the fence to watch the Pirates band lead last year’s homecoming parade. The band will lead the parade again this year on Oct. 18. File photo school clubs and the cheerleaders. Just as the day’s light is fading, the focus again shifts to Englewood High School Stadium for the homecoming game against Weld Central. As the 7 p.m. kickoff approaches, students and alumni will fill the stands for the game and cheer for the Pirates. Admission is $5 for adults and $4 for students with school identification. For this game, halftime is extended for homecoming, as royalty is introduced, and culminates with announcement of the
names of the two students selected as this year’s homecoming king and queen. After the game, old acquaintances can be renewed, as there will be an alumni social in the commons at the high school. All Englewood alumni are invited and the event is free. Saturday, the week’s activities wrap up with the Oct. 19 homecoming dance. In keeping with tradition, the dance will be held from 8 to 11 p.m. in the school commons. Tickets are sold at the commons during the lunch periods.

Representatives of the group applying to establish a charter school in Englewood will present details of the proposal and answer questions during the second charter school community meeting, scheduled from 6 to 7 p.m. Oct. 17 at the Maddox Building, 700 W. Mansfield Ave. The Carlton Academy Founding Board filed an application with the Englewood School District on Aug. 1, seeking schoolboard approval to open a facility in the city in August 2014. The first community meeting was held Oct. 8. Also, the Englewood School Board has scheduled a special meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 22 to render a decision on the charter school application. This marks the second year in a row an application to establish a charter school in the Englewood School District has been submitted. The board rejected last year’s application as insufficient in a number of areas. Brian Ewert, school superintendent, said the new application met the requirements and the deadline. “The district reviewed the new application internally and hired a trio of charter school application experts to review it,” he said. “We will also have the school accountability committee review the application.” A number of the same proponents are on the board of directors that submitted this year’s application. Former Englewood teacher Mary Zachariah has stepped in, temporarily replacing Matt Whipple as founding board president. She said the group has been working on the
1535 S. Kipling Pkwy, Suite I & J Lakewood, CO 80232 303-996-0855 in the Lochwood Square
revised application since January. She said the founding board went through a lengthy process, and worked closely with the Colorado League of Charter Schools to develop the new application. The founding board submitted the application to the league for review, got their feedback, addressed their concerns and resubmitted it. She said the result is a superior application that has been reviewed and approved by charter school experts. In an earlier interview, Whipple said the new application includes an improved budget, and the detailed technical information and specific facts provide a better picture of what the school would look like once it is up and running. Zachariah said Oct. 7 the preferred location for the school is the church property in Cherry Hills Village at the east side of the intersection of U.S. Highway 285 and South Clarkson Street. The application requests permission to open the school’s doors in August 2014, offering classes for kindergartners through eighth-graders. The opening enrollment is forecast to be 200 with enrollment increasing to 420 in five years. The academy focus is to be a Core Knowledge charter school that would create a learning environment where the students are empowered to succeed. Zachariah headed last year’s effort to establish a charter school in Englewood. She states her reason was to develop an alternative for students who do not learn in the traditional setting and to offer educational choices to the parents of local students. Charter school proponents have said a number of times the hope is to work in concert with the school board and school district to establish a school that will be able to meet the needs of local children who just don’t do well in public school.
Englewood School Board established the process that volunteers will use to become candidates to fill the vacancy on the board created by the death of Gene Turnbull. The appointee will serve a two-year term. If the individual wants to remain on the board, he or she will be required to seek election for a two-year term. The board also outlined the steps they will take to select finalists for the post and eventually make the appointment. “We declared a board vacancy Sept. 17, which starts the clock because state law requires we fill that vacancy within 60 days,” Scott Gorsky, school board president, said at the Oct. 1 meeting. “Our task is to determine the process we will use and the timeline for making the appointment.” Board Member Tom O’Connor, who was appointed to the board two years ago, said the system used then worked well. “Those interested in serving on the board filled out an application, which included answering a few questions such as why the person wanted to be on the school board and what did that individual hope to accomplish as a board member,” he said. “Then, the board selected the finalists and held a forum, which included a question-and-answer session. After that, the board selected me to fill the vacancy.” Duane Tucker, board member, said he would suggest mimicking the process used
two years ago. “The process works, so the next step is to establish a timeline because the appointment must be made by Nov. 17,” he said. During the timeline discussion, the board discussed the upcoming changes to the makeup of the board. It was noted that O’Connor chose not to seek re-election and term limits prevent Gorsky from seeking another term. The two unopposed candidates to fill those spots are Tena Prange and Jason Sakry. The board members agreed that Prange and Sakry should be included in the appointment process and discussions. “The decision to include Tena and Jason in the process is up to the current board because there are no real rules about that issue,” said Brian Ewert, school superintendent. The board approved the process and agreed to have Prange and Sakry take part in the appointment process. Candidate requirements are that the individual must live in the school district and must have been a registered voter for the last 12 months. District employees can’t serve on the school board but retired employees are eligible to be candidates. The application is on the main page of the district website at www.englewoodschools.net. The application asks for personal information and written responses to three questions.

Council candidates field questions Audience queries range from finances to grocery-bag fees By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood City Council candidates stated their points of view on a variety of issues during the Oct. 3 Arapahoe County League of Women Voters forum. The candidates who attended included two District 2 candidates, incumbent Linda Olson and challenger Rita Russell; the two atlarge candidates, Scott Gorsky and Steve Yates; and District 4 representative Rick Gillit, who is unopposed. The League of Women Voters moderated the forum and asked candidates questions submitted by members of the audience. The initial question asked candidates what they felt was the most critical issue facing the city, and all agreed it was finances. Russell said over the past few years, the city has covered budget shortfalls with $6.5 million from reserves. She said the financial hemorrhaging must stop and there needs to be major changes to cease deficit budgeting. But Olson said the primary source of revenue is sales taxes, which currently are below what was collected in 2000, so the city had to shift funds around and use reserves to meet the increasing cost of city operations. Yates called the present financial situation critical. He said reserves will eventually run out and if that does happen, Englewood could be swallowed up by another municipality. He urged focus on revitalizing the business community to increase revenues. Gorsky said if elected, he would

Photo by Tom Munds seek a prioritization of spending. He also said there needs to be more community involvement to help the council deal with the challenging financial situations. Gillit said the city has used its reserves to cover budget shortfalls but that can’t continue. He said promoting the right kind of new businesses would increase revenues. The issue of the sale of the Englewood Depot was raised. Yates called the sale a tragedy and Russell said the sale was illegal because the proposal wasn’t put to a vote of the people. Olson said the sale was about saving the building and the council spent 18 months on the process to select the buyer. Gorsky said he wasn’t on the council that made the decision, but wasn’t happy about the sale. One area of agreement was re-
jection of the idea of charging a fee for plastic bags in retail stores.
Candidates speak
The candidates had two minutes to introduce themselves to the audience. “I grew up in Englewood and, a couple years ago, I became concerned about what was going on in the city,” Russell said. “A couple years ago, I became very concerned about the council’s fiscal irresponsibility. I became more troubled by the actions of the council so I became a council candidate.” Incumbent Olson said her four years on the council have been a learning experience. “I have worked hard to represent the residents of my district and to vote for what I thought was best for the city,” she said. “I feel I helped the residents successfully
deal with concerns about Kent Place development. I would like to continue to work to help make Englewood a better place to live.” Yates is running for public office for the first time and urged Englewood to become more business-friendly to help promote business development. “I have lived in Englewood 25 years and my job involved turning a failing corporation division around,” he said. “For the last six years, I have been active in seeking to preserve the rights of Englewood residents. I am concerned there hasn’t been a balanced budget for the past four years and that continues. I worry that continued use of reserves could bankrupt the city.” Gorsky has lived in Englewood 11 years. Eight years ago, was elected to the Englewood School Board and repeatedly urged resi-
dent involvement and collaboration to deal with city issues. “I felt I needed to be involved and give back to my community,” he said. “For the last eight years, I have worked to properly use your tax dollars. We dealt with financial challenges and drew on comments and suggestions from residents to establish the school district budget. If elected, I will promote the same collaborative problem-solving approach for the city council.” Gillit said he is looking forward to serving another term on the council. “I consider it a privilege to get to meet and talk to the people of my district and my city,” he said. “During my first four years on the council, I always tried to do what I felt was in the best interest of the city. I plan to once again listen to my constituents and to do my best to represent them.”
City ballots will feature two questions Recreational marijuana, parks designation will go before voters By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The November ballot asks Englewood residents whether or not to allow any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry to be set up in the city, and a second
question asks whether or not to designate a list of city-owned properties as parks. The city council voted to place Question 2B, the marijuana-related question, on the November ballot. The question asks residents whether any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry should be permitted in Englewood. The wording of the question states that a ban on all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry does not restrict personal use or growing of marijuana as allowed under the Colorado Constitution. The question also states banning the recreational marijuana industry will have

no impact on Englewood’s licensed medical marijuana businesses, primary caregivers or patients. However, it is designated as an advisory question, so the city council doesn’t have to take action to follow residents’ voting choice on the ballot issue. Residents collected the required number of signatures to place the second issue on the November ballot. Ballot Question 300 asks residents whether a list of 15 properties should be officially designated as parks. That would mean the city charter would prohibit the sale of any of those properties without voter approval
The properties listed in the proposed ballot issues are Baker, Barde, BatesLogan, Belleview, Centennial, Clarkson, Cushing, Depot, Duncan, Emerson, Hosanna, Jason, Miller Fields, Romans and Rotolo. Dan Brotzman, city attorney, said if the ballot issue is approved, the designation won’t apply to two of the properties. The decision won’t place a park designation on the Hosanna Sports Complex that is owned by Englewood School District. Also, the park designation will only apply to the community garden and not to the Englewood Depot building and property that was sold to a private owner.

District 2 city council canDiDates
Russell wants budget focus
Y Olson aims for re-election c
Rita Russell wants to represent District 2 on the Englewood City Council. Russell said she is almost an Englewood native, since her family moved to the city when she was 5. She went through Englewood schools and graduated from Englewood High School. She attended Colorado State University for three years and opened her own business doing interior decorating such as painting and wallpapering. She is now retired from the business. She has been married for 43 years. Her husband, an Air Force veteran, spent about 40 years with the U.S. Postal Service. They have two children and four grandchildren. Russell’s responses to the candidate questions are: Why are you seeking this office? City council holds fiduciary responsibility to defend the citizen’s rights guaranteed by the city charter. The council’s vote to sell Depot Park on Aug. 19, 2013, without a proper vote by the citizens which is required by the city charter is another recent example of irresponsible governing by the current council. Moreover, not only has council accumulated over $7 million in operating deficits, but approved another $1.2 million deficit for the 2014 budget. My concerns about the disregard for the people and a lack of leadership, coupled with my desire for more responsible leadership prompted me to run for council. What makes you the best person for the job? I care very deeply about the future of our city and the citizens who live here.
Linda Olson is seeking re-election as the Englewood City Council District 2 representative. Olson was born and raised in St. Peter in southern Minnesota. She earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota and her master’s degree in recreation and park administration from the same school. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Denver in communications studies. Her husband was transferred to Colorado in 1982 and she worked with nonprofit organizations from 1982 until 2000. She has been a professor at the University of Denver since 2003. She and her husband have three children who were raised in Englewood. Her hobbies are sewing, traveling, reading and volunteering. Olson’s answers to the candidate questions are: Why are you seeking this office? It has been an honor to serve as District 2 councilmember during some of the toughest economic times Englewood has seen. Thankfully, through hard work, we are emerging from the great recession as resilient and a place to live and invest. With several key developments in process and several more on the horizon, the time is right for stability and a sustained vision that represents this geographically small district but diverse set of residents and businesses. I want to see this continue with forward thinking that supports Englewood as a positive, vibrant, and sustainable community. What makes you the best person for the job? My first term on council built my knowledge about the city, giving me experience in getting things done with others. I listened to understand and make balanced decisions. My commitment to

We have a great history and I am committed to protect that history for future generations. I have been responsible for leadership training and development in my local church. Also as a former small business owner, I have experience in identifying and resolving real problems and possess the leadership and knowledge to make responsible decisions consistent with the rights of the people of our city. I’m a strong leader who will serve the residents of Englewood and proudly protect their Russell rights! What do you believe is the most important issue facing Englewood and how will you approach it, if elected? Without question the most important issue facing Englewood is unchecked deficit spending! Over the past four years the current city council has voted to approve deficit spending in excess of $7 million … this needs to stop … and we need to balance the budget. First and foremost, if elected, I will always vote “NO” to a budget that is not balanced! It is not necessary to raise taxes to balance the budget — but to cut spending without impacting the basic services that are required to run our city. Also, it is critically important to partner with existing businesses, as well as seek new commercial and retail developments that will grow our commercial revenue and lead to increased sales tax proceeds.

G City roots run b deep for judge municipal juDge canDiDate
Englewood Municipal Judge Vincent Atencio is assured of serving another term, as he is unopposed in his bid for re-election. Atencio is an Englewood native. He grew up in the city and attended Englewood schools. After high school graduation, he earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Brown University. When he left Brown, he returned to Englewood, continued his education and earned his law degree from the University of Denver. “I spent 23 years in private practice before I ran for my first term as municipal judge,” Atencio said. “I will complete my 16th year on the bench in November.” He and his wife, Debra, live in the same house where Atencio was raised. His hobbies include hiking, skiing, camping and mountain biking. Atencio’s answers to Colorado Community Media’s candidate questions are: Why are you seeking this office? I am running for municipal judge because it gives me an opportunity to use my skills and abilities to make Englewood a better community. It has been a privilege

• At age 27 I started my first successful retail business. • Turned around a failing corporate division, making it profitable with a 300% growth in two years. • Professional marketing experience. • Serving leadership roles for charitable organizations. • Experience with managing people. • Listening and problem solving skills. • Raising two teenage Yates boys. • Strong belief in working with what I have. • Working with local community groups defending your rights. What do you believe is the most important issue facing Englewood and how will you approach it, if elected? I believe the most important issues facing include the following: • We must fix the budget and stop the deficit spending! To do this we must identify essential city services and their real operating costs. Through strong leadership we can fix these perpetual budget shortfalls. • Promote Englewood so that it can be a diverse retail and commercial environment. • Develop a plan that enables Englewood to be desirable for businesses to invest in. • Make Englewood a place where people will spend their time, such as attracting successful Farmers Markets, and other community events. • Protecting all of our rights. Council should have never allowed the sale of park land without the vote of the people.
Scott Gorsky is one of two candidates for the at-large Englewood City Council seat that will be vacant in November. Gorsky was born in New Jersey and raised in Buffalo, N.Y. In 1995, he and his family moved to Colorado. He attended the University of Colorado-Boulder and earned a degree in sociology. Twelve years ago, he accepted a position as a teacher in Denver Public Schools. In November, term limits require him to leave the Englewood School Board after eight years service. He is married and has a 20-month-old baby girl. His hobbies are snowboarding and golf. Gorsky’s answers to the candidate questions are: Why are you seeking this office? As a resident I appreciate Englewood as a family-oriented community that shares its doorstep with the larger city but still maintains its own unique nature. Long before considering a position on the city council I knew that I wanted to be a part of moving Englewood forward in a positive manner. I started by working within our school system, serving on the Englewood School Board, an experience that led me to truly understand that progress comes when people become active in their communities. I seek this office to help play a part in the continual progress of our community. What makes you the best person for the job? As past school board president, I have a proven track record of tackling difficult problems and finding solutions. Dealing with complicated budgets and affecting issues was commonplace in my eight

years on the board. I engineered open dialogue within the community so that issues could be brought out in the open and solved. To this job I bring 10 years of community communication skills from working closely with taxpayers, parents, children, contractors, unions, business people and citizens from all walks of life within our community. What do you believe is the most important issue facing Englewood and how will you approach it, Scott Gorsky if elected? I believe the most important issue facing Englewood today is the coming budget shortfall. While there is talk that no services will be affected, it seems to me that a shortfall of $1.2 million will affect someone in our community. My first priority will be to understand how the shortfall took place, then open up solution-oriented planning by accomplishing the following steps: 1. Work with city staff and council to discuss and review the current budget 2. Review the recommendations of the Budget Advisory Committee 3. Gather input and feedback from the community and businesses through open meetings and avenues 4. Establish a budget that meets the priorities of Englewood’s citizens While on City Council I will work to ensure that budget decisions are based upon a well-defined set of community priorities. I have a proven track record of getting things done and would sincerely appreciate your vote.

opinions / yours and ours
A week to tout value of newspapers Where was it that you heard about the so-called demise of the newspaper? Probably, you read about it in your daily newspaper; because, as Mark Twain, a journalist himself, was able to write to a friend: “The report of my death was an exaggeration.” And a good newspaper will go on to explain the source of the rumor, and if false, will present the facts that debunk it. Well into the 21st century, American newspapers are as relevant as ever, because like other vital segments of their community, they are always at work and always looking to reinvent themselves. We’ve seen this in high-profile deals such as Jeff Bezos’ acquisition of The Washington Post; but we’ve also seen dramatic changes nationally at newspapers large and small, as their news, advertising, marketing
guest editorial and circulation staffs have embraced a variety of digital and social media platforms to reach new and existing readers, while continuing to present the news in the traditional print format. But the modes of communication are not the most important change: That is in the way that the newspaper has greatly expanded its role as watchdog for the community. Trust in our public institutions is on a steady decline, and sturdy journalism is go-
question of the week
What was the most unusual gift you got? People give gifts of all types, some mundane and some very different. Colorado Community Media asked people in a variety of local locations about an unusual gift they had received.
“The most unexpected gift I ever received was several years ago at Christmas. I expected the usual gifts but my husband surprised me with a very nice camera and a vacation in Hawaii.” — Cheryl Adamson, Englewood
“The most exciting gift I ever received was when my mother gave me a horse for Christmas when I was 13 or 14.” — Vicky Gordon, Phoenix
“I have been thinking and I don’t think anyone has ever given me an unusual gift. I get gifts but they are pretty stock items like socks, shirts and ties.” — Joe Sack, Highlands Ranch
“It was a shirt from my girlfriend that was wrapped in four boxes, in a bag and the shirt was folded up in a box. The shirt was nice and the wrapping made me laugh.” — Victor Limon, Sheridan
Anonymous prank leaves paper trail The neighbors’ trees were toilet-papered last night. This is what is known as a prank. What toilet-papering accomplishes I do not know. And I have never known if it is a malevolent exercise or not. Are the victims disliked or embraced? It could be just a way of letting someone know that you were thinking of them when you walked past the 12-rollshalf-off display. It’s a fairly benign prank, and certainly doesn’t carry as much heft as, say, having your home and trees littered with mud or seafood. If you went out some morning and found hundreds of carp on your roof, that might hold much deeper implications. How did this — toilet papering — get started? It is most commonly associated with Halloween and graduation, which are just about the same thing. Maybe you know the story of the Frisbee. In 1938 Fred Morrison and his future wife Lucile were offered a quarter for the cake pan they were tossing back and forth on the beach in Santa Monica, Calif. At the time, cake pans were a nickel, so Fred had an idea. I think you know exactly where this is going, so I will fast-forward to the first Frisbees, which were called Pluto Platters. The name was changed to Frisbee
ing to be the only reliable way for average Americans to glean the truth from a stream of conflicting information disseminated by political partisans and vested interests. In the past year, newspapers were the leading source of information on these stories of vital importance in their communities and nationwide: • The Denver Post conveyed news via text, social media and video of a gunman, who killed 12 moviegoers in Aurora, while the tragic events still were occurring. • The Tennessean in Nashville called attention to Tennessee’s Department of Children’s Services’ inability to account for the deaths or near-deaths over a three-year period of approximately 200 children who were in custody or whose welfare was being monitored by the state. The reports led
In-between is really middle of nowhere Some of you may remember the Gerry Rafferty song, “Stuck in the Middle,” and then again, since it was written and first performed in 1972 by Stealers Wheel, maybe there are more of you who don’t have a clue about what I am referring to. That’s OK. The point is this: Are you stuck in the middle? Are you in the middle of a project, the middle of a decision, the middle of a quarrel, or just stuck in the middle of anything? You see, it’s the middle that gets us. It’s not the “yeses” or the “noes” that derail us, it is the “maybes” that bring us the greatest frustration. It’s when we get paralyzed by indecision or suffer paralysis by analysis as we overthink each and every single thing we do. You know what I mean, right? It’s that in-between stuff that really muddles the middle. Those “tweener” situations where we do not know if we are in or out, or on which side, or whose side we will fall. The real questions are why and how we find ourselves in this position. Is it because we are over-accommodating and work so hard at pleasing everyone that we find ourselves in the middle so that we do not offend anyone? And you know what happens when we are in a relationship, friendship, or partnership and both people strive to accommodate the other person, it’s like ending up in a reverse arm wrestling match. Instead of strenuously trying to “push” our opponent’s hand to the table, both sides try and let the other person win and end up in an extreme game of tug of war as we “pull” our own hands toward our side of the table. What are we afraid of? Are we fearful that we may make the wrong decision? Here’s the

The Frisbie Pie Co. was located in Bridgeport, Conn. What began as a cake pan on the beach became a multimillion-dollar success, and a major American pastime and sport, for people and dogs of all ages. Even though there is no money to be made in toilet-papering, I assume, it too has endured. It was going on when I was in grade school. Ike was in office. But it had to start somewhere.

to the department head’s resignation and a restructure of the department. • An investigation by The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uncovered widespread cases of off-duty police officers’ reckless driving. In each case, the newspaper lived up to its role as a voice for the entire community it serves. Despite all the obituaries being written about newspapers, we look at these examples and many more and find that newspapers are amazingly spry and alert — and always at work.

deal, we can make and will make a million wrong decisions in our life. But there is nothing we can ever do, within reason, that will torpedo our lives or our relationships or any business venture that we are pursuing that cannot be overcome as long as our decisions are in alignment with our values. And as Roy Disney said, “It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” It’s when we don’t put our stake in the ground and waffle about everything we need to do that places us in a perpetual state of limbo and unable to move forward. And we usually choose not to take a stand or make a decision because we are operating out of a mode of fear or scarcity rather than a mode of growth or abundance. What are you waiting for? What’s the big or even little decision that is holding you back? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we resolve to leave the “tweener” in us behind, it really will be a better than good week.

Clerk’s office makes changes for residents s
While my first six months in office as the Arapahoe County clerk and recorder have gone by very quickly, I am pleased to report and a that we have accomplished a great deal in that short amount of time. Here is what we tinel accomplished thus far: wide- • We have extended our office hours. Our cers’ offices are now open until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. By expanding office hours, up to we are increasing access to our services for unity the citizens of Arapahoe County. • We have created an online motor vehicle itten title registration quote tool, allowing you to xam- get an idea of what it will cost to title your veews- hicle before coming to our office. — and • We are now issuing marriage and civil union licenses at our Byers Branch Office. Ray- • We have started cross-training employnnes- ees across departments to create greater aper flexibility and efficiency by helping us meet onal statutorily required deadlines while avoiding overtime. • We have redesigned our elections web-
site, www.arapahoevotes.com, to make it more user-friendly. On this site, citizens can verify their voter registration, identify and find contact information for their elected officials, track their mail ballot, see the latest county voter registration numbers, and much more. • We have increased our presence and messaging on social media, and are working to better inform our citizens of what is happening in our offices. Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and
Instagram. • We have added additional mail ballot drop-off locations in southeast Aurora, Strasburg and Deer Trail. Over the course of the next year, we will work to continue this mission, including: • We will reduce wait times and lines in our motor vehicle and driver’s license departments by deploying a queuing system that will allow us to guide customers to specific representatives who can meet their needs quickly and efficiency. This system also will allow us to monitor demand for our services in order to deploy additional resources when necessary. Wait times will be posted for these departments online so that our citizens can plan their visits accordingly. • We will redesign our Byers Branch Office to make it more accessible for our citizens with disabilities. • We will continue cross-training employees across departments for greater efficiency and flexibility.
• We will prepare for the 2014 primary and general elections under the guidelines of our 2013 legislation that will affect our mail ballot and same day voter registration processes. We will look to implement these changes as part of our mission to conduct fair, transparent, and secure elections. As you can see, we have accomplished a great deal over the first six months, but we know we still have a ways to go. We are excited about these changes that improve our ability to provide our citizens the best service possible while protecting taxpayer dollars. It is an honor to serve as your clerk and recorder. If you have ideas for how we can better serve you, please let us know at clerk@ arapahoegov.com. My staff and I look forward to seeing you in our offices soon.
all, we lost nine lives. In the face of this tragedy and destruction we witnessed the resilience, courage, and selflessness of Coloradans from across the state. It has been inspiring. From the first responder who rescued Lyons resident Cheron Boland in the bucket of an excavator to the Boulder Flood Relief volunteers who have been going door-to-door helping homeowners shovel mud from their hous-
es, we have seen Coloradans of all different ages, backgrounds, and beliefs pull together to overcome this tragedy. In the small town of Jamestown, residents who were cut off from the outside world pooled their resources to ensure that no one in their community went without food or shelter. They rigged a makeshift pulley system to carry food, medicine, and supplies to people stranded on the other side of Little James Creek and built impromptu bridges with donated lumber. In Boulder, the University of Colorado football team swapped helmets for hairnets and served hot meals to first responders and families who had been evacuated. In Greeley, local businesses organized a Family Fun Night for children who were forced to leave their homes, and in Miliken, a selfless farmer turned a floodgate valve to divert overflowing waters away from homes and into his own crops.
These stories of teamwork and resilience are ones that politicians in Washington would do well to follow. Congress has failed to pass a farm bill or take action to fix our broken immigration system. It has not made progress on an energy plan or taken serious steps to improve our infrastructure or education system. Now the debate has spiraled into a shouting match risking the full faith and credit of our country and we’ve had our first government shutdown in 17 years. When Coloradans faced a crisis they came together, rolled up their sleeves, and went to work. Washington should do the same and reach across the aisle to find common-sense, middle-ground solutions on issues like immigration and our debt and deficit.
Matt Crane, Arapahoe County’s clerk and recorder, was appointed earlier this year, following former clerk Nancy Doty’s election as an Arapahoe County commissioner.
y D.C. should follow example set by Colorado
As Congress wastes time in endless debate over shutting down the government and allowing the nation to default on its debt, Coloradans are working together and recovering in the aftermath of unprecedented flooding. The heroism and generosity we’re seeing in Colorado both during and after the flood is in stark contrast to the ideology and bluster coming out of Washington. In Colorado, we had a year’s worth of rainfall in one day alone. It led to historic floods that caused unimaginable destruction. The disaster damaged more than 18,000 homes, on forced tens of thousands of Coloradans to noth- evacuate, flooded hundreds of agricultural will fields and pastures, and crippled infrastrucany ture. Roughly 50 bridges and more than 200 hat miles of major roadways were destroyed. In ions total, the floodwaters consumed more than Roy 2,000 miles across 17 counties. Most tragic of

They came in all sizes, and some of them, used as projectiles in a factory riot, could be mighty dangerous. And that’s exactly what happened, and the factory was closed. But a workers’ riot at Charmin would be laughable. And that’s what might have happened. It went from a riot to a good time, and the hilarity went off-campus, and employees started to see their homes and trees being toilet-papered by co-workers, perhaps as a symbol of unity. My other theory is that some of employees got intoxicated, and on their lunch break took some rolls outside and began tossing them back and forth. The employees tried to throw to each other, but half the time the toilet paper landed in the trees and streamed down. Too drunk to clean up their mess, it was left. It being homecoming weekend, some local high school kids thought it was Charmin’s
way of saying “Go Mechanicsburg!” and a tradition was born. Do you have a better idea? I have never been on either end — he said — of toilet papering, but I am certain that the application is a lot more enjoyable than the removal. I said that I assumed that there was no money to be made in toilet papering, but there is money to be made in almost anything. There could be TP hit squads for hire. If you are my age and wanted to TP the Waterhavens, you could just hire someone to do it for you. It’s not a lot of fun to read the news today, is it? It’s very frustrating, adult-stuff, unfortunately. But I think we all can get a moment’s reprieve by seeing something as silly as a home that has been papered. For some reason, it has been passed along, generation to generation, and there is no end in sight. Forgive me. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

Mandeville, 47, an airline pilot from Highlands Ranch, was enjoying a 90-degree, sunny afternoon with his 6-year-old son Jack at Cherry Creek State Park on Sept. 7, when he saw two women in full burqas, running down the beach screaming, pointing to the water shortly before 6 p.m. “The first thing I thought was that is a lot of clothes on for it being so hot,” he said. “They were about 50 yards down the beach, and I looked and saw Daniel coming in with the two boys and just looked at my son and said ‘follow me now.’” Bertram, a Centennial resident and 2006 graduate of Arapahoe High School, was at the beach with Steadman and some friends. Upon seeing where 5-year-old boys Mutasem Masoud and Ibrahim Bdawi had become submerged, he pulled them both out of the water and raced to shore with a boy over each arm. It’s the stuff movies are made of. Bertram laid them down and Steadman and Mandeville, who had sprinted onto the scene with his son trailing behind, each began administering CPR. Mandeville had first learned CPR in the 1980s as a cadet at the Air Force Academy, but didn’t think he would ever have to use it. Retrained and certified a year and a half ago, he said instinct just took over. Ten minutes later, amidst panic and yelling from family members, the boys were coughing up water and vomiting. “They were literally dead,” said Bertram,

The three men were responsible for saving the two boys Sept. 7 at Cherry Creek Reservoir after the boys began to drown. Photo by Ryan Boldrey who has since signed up to take CPR, saying he saw firsthand the difference it can make. That difference is life and death, he said, encouraging everyone to take a course. “I’m not a hero, I’m not Superman,” said Mandeville after the three were recognized with life-saving medals by the Arapahoe
County Sheriff’s Office Oct. 1 in a personal ceremony that involved the boys. “I’m just a guy that had CPR training that was on a beach with his son and ran to help two boys in need. Somehow it all worked out.” For those two boys and their families, however, Mandeville, as well as Steadman

and Bertram, are nothing but heroes. “They changed all our lives,” said Abdelsalam Masoud, father of Mutasem. “I thank God for sending them at the right time and that they knew CPR. ... The gratitude we feel today will stay with us for the rest of our lives.”
Federal shutdown leads to Lockheed Martin furloughs Effects of decision on Waterton facility unclear at this time By Jennifer Smith
jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com Lockheed Martin, a major employer in the south-metro region, is furloughing 3,000 employees starting Oct. 7 as a result of the government shutdown. “Today’s announcement affects all our business areas across the country,” Gary Napier, local spokesman for the company, said without confirming whether the Waterton Canyon facility will be impacted specifically. “We remain in discussions with our customers to assess individual program impacts. This is an ongoing situation and it’s premature to say where the immediate effects are right now.” The number of employees affected is expected to increase weekly in the event of a prolonged shutdown, according to a press release. This includes employees who work in a government facility that’s been closed and those whose projects require a government inspection that can’t be completed, or when Lockheed receives a stop-work order from a customer. “I’m disappointed that we must take these actions, and we continue to encourage our lawmakers to come together to pass a funding bill that will end this shutdown,” said Marillyn A. Hewson, Lockheed’s chief ex-
ecutive officer and president. “In an effort to minimize the impact on our employees, we are directing affected employees to use available vacation time so they can continue to receive their pay and benefits. We hope that Congress and the administration are able to resolve this situation as soon as possible.” During last December’s South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce Economic Forecast Breakfast, Joe Rice, Lockheed Martin Space Systems director of government relations and former state representative from Littleton, addressed what was then the looming fiscal cliff that led to the sequestration. “It’s not a question of if it’s resolved,” said Rice. “It’s more of how it will be addressed.” Rice noted that Lockheed has plenty to lose, as its major customers are government and defense contractors such as the Air Force. Lockheed issued a press release in March, after sequestration went into effect, that predicted such furloughs could happen. “We deeply regret the effect that sequestration is having on our dedicated and hard-working employees,” read a press release issued at the time. “While we await more specific direction from our government customers, we are concerned with the lack of progress toward a solution to reverse the negative impacts of sequestration. “We continue to assess the likely impact that sequestration will have on our programs and have taken steps to manage its effect on our
employees and our business. However, while we understand that the impacts are likely to play out over a period of time, we continue to believe that sequestration will lead to furlough in some situations and could trigger layoffs resulting in WARN notices to thousands of our current employees. This is a very difficult time for our employees and their families, and the thousands of supplier companies that we depend on to support our customers’ mission. “The fiscal impasse continues to greatly complicate our ability to plan, make necessary capital investments, and recruit and hire the next generation of science and engineering talent. We urge our elected leaders to make it a priority to reverse sequestration before it causes more serious damage and find a more workable and permanent solution to the fiscal challenges our nation faces.” The Waterton facility was built in 1956. It is headquarters and home base for most employees of Lockheed’s Space Systems Company, which employs 3,800 people in Colorado. Programs based there include GPS III, MAVEN, OSIRIS-Rex and Juno. In total, Lockheed employs 8,300 people in Colorado, with other locations including Boulder, Deer Creek, Denver and Colorado Springs. Globally, Lockheed Martin had record sales in 2012 of $47.2 billion, with profits of $5.6 billion. Its stock prices fell slightly after the furloughs were announced, down 33 cents to $122.50.

SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES
Sakry aims for Prange pushes district progress kids’ standards Jason Sakry’s first effort to be elected to public office is successful, as he is unopposed in his bid to serve on the Englewood Board of Education. Sakry was born in Edina, Minn., raised in Egan, Minn. and earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from St. Thomas College in St. Paul, Minn. He said he came to Colorado for the mountains in 2002. He currently is working for a company as an investment adviser. Sakry is married. He and his wife, Laura, have a son, Ethan, 6, and a daughter, Emily, 4. His hobbies are snowboarding, biking, golfing and riding a motorcycle. His answers to Colorado Community Media’s candidate questions are: Why are you seeking this office? Englewood is an extraordinary community with multi-generational heritage and incredible potential. The Englewood school district is a cornerstone of our community. Through my experience with the bond and mill levy, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the leadership in the school district. I’m impressed with the work they are doing and the vision and direction they have. It is an honor to be a part of this group and I’m excited to contribute to the progress! What makes you the best person for the job? One thing that resonated with me
about the board is the shared vision to realize the great potential of Englewood Schools. As a resident for nine years, and a parent of two, my vested interest is to perpetuate that vision. I am a proud member of the community and want to do what I can to drive continued progress and add to the rich history of Englewood. The new high school Sakry and middle school campuses represent a new chapter in this history and offer a renewed focus on what we can be, working together as a community. What do you believe is the most important issue facing your city school district) and how will you approach it, if elected? A stronger community creates a more effective learning environment. As members of Englewood, we have a unique opportunity to leverage the heritage of residents who have lived here 80 years or more, along with young families seeking a safe environment to raise their children. By enrolling the broader community and fostering our small-town feel surrounded by a terrific metropolitan area, we will enjoy the experience, tradition, and positive energy that can only be created in a collaborative effort.
bdelhank e and e feel f our
Tena Prange is unopposed in her bid for the Englewood Board of Education. Prange was born and raised in Allegan, Minn. She earned her bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Phoenix. She earned her master’s degree in nonprofit management from Regis University. She currently works for the state as a finance and contract specialist. She has three daughters, all attending Englewood schools. Her hobbies are hiking, reading and baking. Prange’s answers to Colorado Community Media’s candidate questions are: Why are you seeking this office? I have three children in Englewood schools and have a long-term interest in assuring they are offered a quality education that will poise them to be 21st-century graduates. Additionally, I have been active in volunteering for the district for the past eight years, including two years on the District Accountability Committee. I believe I have a great perspective on what the experience of having children in several Englewood schools feels like on a daily basis. What makes you the best person for the job? I am driven by an unyielding commitment to all Englewood schoolchildren and believe it is our adult responsibility to create a safe and nourishing school environment for them. I believe accountability and transparency are paramount to assuring the community is on board with
the direction of the district, even if there are occasional details of disagreement. My personal style is one of wanting to understand the foundation of reasoning before making decisions, which leads me to ask plenty of questions; I think this is a must to stay true to the mission. What do you believe is the most important issue facing Englewood schools, and how will you approach it? I believe bridging the gap in the increased rigor Prange of standards by which we assess Englewood students is some of the most pressing work currently occurring in the district. I plan to use my analytical skills of a business background to create a more thorough understanding of the curriculum and systems changes needed to make sure Englewood students are up to standard. Only by doing these pieces well will we improve our overall school ratings. This subsequently will help retain current enrollees as well as recruit new students. I plan to support our administration in strengthening our core learning needs, providing continued opportunities for vocational training, and enhancing our accelerated academic paths. Most importantly, I seek to assure that Englewood students have a consistent and strong voice in shaping their future.

It’s all about the ZOMBIES Staff report Downtown Littleton kicked off the Halloween season — which, yes, is a season in Littleton — with the fifth annual Downtown Littleton Zombie Crawl on Oct. 5. Either the event is catching on or the zombie apocalypse has claimed many more victims, as it draws a bigger crowd each year. Instinctively, hundreds of zombies of all ages gather at Woodlawn Shopping Center at 11 a.m., then stagger down Main Street in a quest to quench their undying need for brains. But instead of feasting on hapless Littleton citizens, Reinke Bros. Halloween and Costume Store lures them in with roasted pig — apparently close enough for zombie sensibilities. The next thing you’ll notice are the pumpkin poles on Main Street, which you’ll just have to see to understand. They herald the return of the Pumpkin Follies and Goat Show, Oct. 11 in Reinke’s parking lot. Visit for a talent show, spoof of Littleton events and one-of-a-kind acts. Admission is $5; drinks and food will be available for purchase.
No, it’s not brains on buns. Zombies are happy to chow down on roast pig after a long trek down Main Street, which wrapped up at Reinke Bros.’ Halloween and Costume Store. Zombie Rudi Monterroso tries to resist dining on his adorable daughter, 3-month-old Anjeli.

Zombies come in all shapes and sizes, as evidenced by this diverse horde on Main Street Oct. 5 during downtown Littleton’s annual Zombie Crawl.

Vendors get crafty at Ketring Staff report Oct. 5 was a beautiful fall day with bright blue skies, perfect for the 42nd Annual Friends of the Library and Museum Craft Fair. It’s held each year in Littleton’s Ketring Park, and the expansive green lawn fills up with more than 300 crafters selling their wares. It’s all for a good cause, as money from booth fees is used to sponsor programs at Littleton Museum and Bemis Public Library. Hundreds, if not thousands, of shoppers got an early start on Christmas shopping or just picked up a few favorites for themselves. Next up for the neighborhood is the 18th Annual Harvest Festival and Pumpkin Sale at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 12. There’s a great crop of pumpkins, and there will be wagon rides and games that were popular in the 19th century. The event is free, but refreshments will be available for purchase. There will also be some free samples of this year’s bounty, like apple cider and preserves.

Costs uncertain in 51st-state plan Secession might leave urban areas better off By Burt Hubbard
I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Colorado could stand to benefit financially and would see some improvement in the educational and economic standings of its remaining citizens if 10 northeastern counties should make good on their threat to secede and carve out a new state of North Colorado. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Have fun out there, new state! But what’s left of Colorado would also lose half of its lucrative oil wells, much of its prime farmland and some of the lowest crime areas in the state. By those measures, Colorado’s attitude might be: Can’t we just all get along? In addition to the 10 northeast Colorado counties that have a secession vote on November’s ballot, Moffat County in far northwest Colorado also will vote on whether to leave. But Moffat apparently wants to become Baja Wyoming. I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS analyzed census, budget, crime and voter records to develop profiles of a new 51st state and a truncated Colorado. Suffice it to say, Colorado would no longer be considered a square state. And, of course, neither would Wyoming, with its new Moffat County panhandle. Residents of the 11 counties will decide next month whether to start the fraughtwith-difficulty political journey to leave Colorado and, in the case of the northeast counties, become a new state. West Virginia was the last state to manage such a separation, in 1863, during the Civil War, a move validated solely by a proclamation from President Lincoln, according to a state website. It isn’t that easy today. One impediment: Colorado and both house of the U.S. Congress would have to agree. But proponents of secession said rural Coloradans are tired of having unpopular laws like stronger gun control and mandatory alternative energy standards forced on them by a Front Range-dominated state Legislature. “What has happened is the urbanization of America has disenfranchised the rural population,” said Jeffrey Hare, one of the organizers of the 51st State Initiative.
Bills caused anger
John Straayer, political science professor at Colorado State University, said bills from the last legislative session appear to have aroused animosity toward the legislature. “In terms of the immediate trigger, guns and probably SB 252 (requiring use of alternative energy resources),” Straayer said. “They allege that it is more than that, not being treated properly by the Legislature on a variety of issues for a long time.” The eventual exodus, if the constitutional minefield could be navigated, would create a North Colorado of about 336,000 people, supplanting Wyoming as the least populous state in the U.S. It would leave Colorado with about 4.7 million residents, dropping it to the 23rd most populous state behind Alabama. One of the key questions is the financial viability of a new state and its impact on the remainder of Colorado. Financially, state government in Colorado would probably come out ahead if the 11 counties left, according to I-News estimates of how much revenue the state receives from the counties compared to expenditures there. The counties generate between $360 million and $400 million yearly for the state in sales tax, state income tax and the state’s share of vehicle registration fees. That accounts for about three-fourths of the revenue Colorado receives from those counties each year from taxes and fees. Extrapolating forward, that would be the equivalent of between $500 million and $560 million in revenue lost to the state from the 11 counties. On the other side of the ledger, the state spends about $520 million in the 11 counties for K-12 school funding, incarcerating criminals from the counties, providing Medicaid, running the courts and the state’s share of running one university and three community colleges.
A tractor motors past cornfields recently near Eaton in Weld County, which has been the epicenter of a movement to form a 51st state from 10 northeastern Colorado counties. Photo by I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS Those costs equal about 84 percent of the state’s overall general fund spending in the secession-voting counties. Extrapolating forward, that would come to total spending of about $620 million. Bottom line: Colorado spends between about $60 million and $120 million or more per year in the 11 counties than the revenue it receives. “There’s still a lot of (state) money coming back to these counties,” said Brian Lewandowski, economist with the Leeds Business School at the University of Colorado at Boulder. By comparison, a similar analysis of Denver showed the county provides more tax and fee revenue to the state than it gets back in state funding for programs. “You’ve got densely populated areas where there is a lot of wealth like Denver County and Douglas County,” said Lewandowski.
Figures in dispute
However, advocates of secession disagree with the I-News analysis and point to their own report that shows the counties break even with state government on spending and revenue. The differences between the two analyses involved spending figures on K-12 education, revenue from the state income tax and severance taxes from oil and gas development. Gov. John Hickenlooper’s office had no comment on what financial impact the secession would have on Colorado. The I-News analysis did not examine how much money the counties currently receive directly from oil and gas operations. That’s money that would help run a new state. More than half of Colorado’s oil and gas wells would reside in the new state, mostly in Weld. “It’s pretty amazing the amount of dollars that it generates,” Lewandowsk said. Weld County alone gets 55 percent of its property tax revenue from exploration. That has resulted in a current $100 million county contingency fund and no debt, said Weld County Commissioner Sean Conway, a leading proponent of secession who previously was chief of staff to former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo. During the recent flooding, the county was able to reopen its roads on its own. “We’ve done this on our own,” Conway said. “We haven’t got help from the state.” Not all politicians in Weld County want to secede. Tom Norton, the mayor of Greeley and former Republican president of the state Senate, wrote in a column in The Greeley Tribune last summer that, while some state decisions have hurt rural Colorado, collaboration with the state, not secession, is the solution. Demographically and politically, the two states — North Colorado and Colorado — would look quite different, the I-News analysis showed. North Colorado would be predominantly Republican, with the fifth highest ratio of Republicans to Democrats in the U.S.
Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado would outnumber Republicans for the first time in years. “We would have a red state and a blue state,” Straayer said.
Education disparity
The would-be exiting counties are generally poorer and less educated than the rest of Colorado, according to Census data. College education levels in North Colorado would be on par with those of Tennessee and Oklahoma, while college graduation rates would rise in Colorado to the second highest in the nation. North Colorado would have among the lowest crime rates in the nation, ranking from fifth to 11th lowest among states for rape, robbery, burglary and car theft. Colorado’s overall crime rates would go up, with motor vehicle theft rates almost three times higher than those of the 51st state. North Colorado would have a higher percentage of families among its households, be younger on average and have a higher percentage of Latinos. In fact, the new state would have the sixth highest percentage of Hispanics in the U.S. But its black population would only be about 1 percent, the fifth lowest in the U.S. And then, of course, there are the issues of marijuana and tornadoes. Legal pot would stop at old Colorado’s borders. About half of the state’s tornados touch down every year in the counties that would leave Colorado.
Even if approved by the counties involved, secession would appear to remain a long shot, as it would require both Colorado and federal approval. State ratification could come in a citizens’ initiative — such as the one that legalized recreational marijuana — in a referred ballot measure from the legislature, or in an act of the legislature, said Richard Collins, professor at the University of Colorado School of Law. If that happened, it would then need approval by both houses of Congress. In the meantime, the effort has drawn national publicity and its share of political quips. Last month, when Hickenlooper was looking at flood damage in Julesburg, which would be part of the new state, he assured officials there that all Colorado would be working together to overcome the disaster, before quipping, “then you all can get back to seceding.” And Conway could not resist a dig at his two least favorite counties when talking about interest in secession being voiced elsewhere — including in some counties not involved in the current effort. “When we’re done, we might be voting Denver and Boulder off the island.” I-News is the public service journalism arm of Rocky Mountain PBS and collaborates with news outlets across Colorado.

Upscale resale store opens in area Founders follow up on Plato’s Closet success By Jane Reuter
jreuter@ourcoloradonews.com A resale women’s clothing store that takes off on its enormously popular sister company’s business model opened in Lone Tree Oct. 3. Clothes Mentor, whose founders also launched Plato’s Closet, aims for a more mature demographic than Plato’s Closet’s teens and twenty-somethings customers. It offers high-quality resale clothing, jewelry and accessories. The new Lone Tree store is the fourth Clothes Mentor in Colorado, and is open in the spot most recently occupied by Plato’s Closet at Yosemite Street and Maximus Drive. “We focus on better women’s brands and designer women’s brands in excellent resale condition,” company spokesperson Richard Brill said. “The average price is $11. The overwhelming majority of our items are very, very reasonably priced. “Everything we sell is from local women who sold it to us. It’s got to be name brand and it’s got to be in good condition.” Commonly found brands include Talbots, Ann Taylor, Lilly Pulitzer, Chico’s, Coldwater Creek and Coach. Purses fall on the higher end of the price scale, Brill said, but also

A prominent corner of the store is reserved just for them. “The best values are on designer purses,” he said. “Things that might sell for $500 brand-new at the mall can be $100 at Clothes Mentor, or less.” The store’s interior is designed to offer a retail shopping experience at thrift store prices. “We want to create a shopping mall-type experience,” Brill

will be in class Dec. 20. The original calendar designated Dec. 20 as a moving day, so high school and leadership academy students would have been out of class. The classroom move is necessary to allow crews to demolish the remainder of the high school building for phase two construction of the remainder of the new campus. Demolition of the building is scheduled to begin the week of Dec. 16. Ewert said teachers are now being provided boxes and labels so they can begin packing the items they want moved. “Crews will be on site Nov. 23 and 24 to begin moving the boxed-up items to the new classrooms,” the superintendent said. “The move is scheduled to wrap up on Nov. 25.” He said maintenance personnel will also be at work during the move to get the bell system operating in the new wing. Ewert said the high school faculty was asked for opinions about the calendar change. “Teachers said they are prepared to make
said. “The store looks great. It’s a friendly, family business. It’s warm and bright and clean.” Aurora residents Todd and Marlene Thompson own the Lone Tree store. Their daughter Emily, from Centennial, manages it. The resale concept has caught on, Emily Thompson believes, for a variety of reasons. “I think everyone is just a little more savings-conscious with the economy the way it’s been,”
this move and all agreed to the calendar change and the early moving date,” the superintendent said. “This early move could save the district about $50,000.” School Board member Duane Tucker asked how the early move would save money. “The move keeps construction ahead of schedule and if the project is completed, the contractors leave early and the district save money,” Ewert said. “However, there is some concern that schedule may be delayed if contractors run into asbestos during the demolition of the high school buildings.” Scott Gorsky, school board president, asked if special bins could be set up to collect materials to be recycled like the boxes used in the move. “During the move, we’ll probably find outdated textbooks,” he said. “I believe there is a nonprofit organization that collects used textbooks so they can be used in schools that need them. I hope we can contact them and get the books to them.” Operations, Maintenance and Transportation Supervisor Dave Henderson added that he has been in contact with an organization that will accept donations of used school furniture that will be given to schools in Africa.
she said. “They’re just spending money more wisely. This is a great way to get those high-end name brands at a lower cost.” Clothes Mentor buys new items continuously, she said, “so our inventory changes every day.” “We’ve already had a lot of good feedback about the quality of our inventory.” Ohio residents Lynn and Dennis Blum founded Once Upon a Child, a children’s clothing resale
chain, in 1991. They later moved up the generational scale to launch Plato’s Closet in 1998 and Clothes Mentor in 2001. About 80 Clothes Mentor stores are open nationwide with 40 more under development and a total of 500 planned, according to the company website. The Lone Tree Plato’s Closet recently moved to a larger space on Park Meadows Drive east of Quebec Street.
High school classrooms will be shifted into this newly constructed wing on the campus over the Thanksgiving holiday. The shift is so demolition can begin on the main high school buildings. Photo by Tom Munds

and city staff members. Also, Bernhard Jurgn Bleise, Federal Republic of Germany honorary consul for Colorado and Wyoming, attended the event. He said Englewood, Golden and Aspen are the only Colorado communities with sister cities in Germany. “I want to thank all those here in Englewood for the hospitality they have shown us when we visited your city,” Wellman said during the reception. “This is a visit to greet you and to say goodbye because, after 25 years, I am retiring from public office.” Belm is located in northeastern Germany near the major city of Osnabruck. The city has a declining population and now has about 14,000 residents. Wellman said he became a member of the Belm city council 41 years ago and, 25 years ago became the German equivalent of the city manager.
“Bernhard is the city manager,” Englewood Mayor Randy Penn told those at the reception. “But he is also the mayor and the city attorney. He also works with a council of 27 members elected by the community’s five political parties.” Wellman said his initial plan for retirement is to do nothing for a time. “After doing nothing for a little while, I want to continue my writing. I write historical articles about our area for magazines,” he said. “I also plan to do some sailing. We have a nice 22-foot sailboat on the large lake in the Netherlands, about a two-hour drive from our home.” His wife Irmheld said, for 25 years, she has waited for her husband and now he must wait for her because, as a teacher, she must continue to work because she isn’t old enough to retire. “I will continue to teach music and religion to middle school students. I love that because music is me, it is my love,” she said with a smile. “Of course, talking about religion to middle school students is a major challenge.”

Band tours behind its seventh studio album By Ryan Boldrey
rboldrey@ourcoloradonews. com Celebrating more than two decades of music and touting its 2012 release, “The Movement,” Rusted Root is bringing its hard-touring act to Englewood. The Pittsburgh-based out-
fit, which broke onto the scene in the early 1990s with its second album “When I Woke” — highlighted by the songs “Send Me on My Way,” “Back to the Earth,” “Ecstasy,” and “Beautiful People” — will take the stage Oct. 18 at The Gothic Theatre in Englewood, along with supporting acts Rob Drabkin and Goodnight, Texas. A popular act throughout the mid-to-late 1990s, Rusted Root, known for its unique blend of experimental world
beat folk fusion, has never ceased touring relentlessly, and after taking a seven-year break from recording between 2002 and 2009, is calling “The Movement,” its seventh studio release, “a career album.” “I think this one kind of puts it all together for us, and for some people, it finally says, `This band is going to be there for the long haul,’” said Michael Glabicki, the group’s lead vocalist and primary songwriter.
From the rootsy, danceable “Monkey Pants” to the darker, drum-driven title track to the introspective “Something on My Mind,” Rusted Root has come full circle, tying together years of work and experimentation, Glabicki says. “I think we are at that point where you kind of say, `Wow, there’s a lot to work with in what we have already become accustomed to and sort of Root continues on Page27
Englewood plans chamber series Silver Ainomae takes role with arts group
Boys and Girls Club opens
The opening of the new Nancy P. Anschutz Center Boys and Girls Club on Tuesday, Oct. 1 was a celebration, despite a horrific shooting just 11 days earlier that left club advocate Terrance Roberts accused of attempted murder. Boldfaced names like Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, Phil and Nancy Anschutz, John and Paige Elway and Jack A. Vickers celebrated the opening of the new center at the Jack A. Vickers Boys & Girls Club. Denver politicos and movers and shakers joined the celebration of a new Park Hill community center that replaced a shopping area torched by a gang in 2008. Boys and Girls Club President and CEO John Aragoni held the sentiments of many in attendance when he said: “The community here had gone through its ups and downs. But we want to recognize its past with an eye on its future.”

sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Englewood Arts Presents announces the appointment of Silver Ainomae, Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s principal cellist, as its new artistic director. He will create a “mini series” within the Chamber Music of the Masters Series of eight concerts, performed in Hampden Hall, second floor of the Englewood Civic Center. “The four concerts I have created for the Englewood Arts Presents 2013-2014 season include several `big hits’ from the classical chamber music repertoire. My goal is to present a wide variety of composers and also have ensembles of all varying sizes,” Ainomae said. “The mini series opens on Oct. 19 (2 p.m.). The first program includes the Debussy `Cello Sonata,’ Arvo Part’s `Mozart Adagio,’ a one-movement quartet (Quartettsatz D 703) by Schubert and Brahms’ `Piano Quintet.’ Once again, I will have the pleasure to perform together with CSO concertmaster Yumi Hwang-Williams and pianist Hsing-ay Hsu. The group size will expand through the program when we will share the stage with Stirling Trent (violin)
Several years ago Mr. On The Town — the No. 1 dog lover in our house — and I attended the play “Sylvia” at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. The A.R. Gurney play is about an emptynest couple who take in a stray dog. I won’t give away the ending but this comedy will tug at your heartstrings. I guarantee you’ll love this play! “Sylvia” plays from Nov. 7-17 at the LTAC. Tickets are available at www.LoneTreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-5091000. Kim Staunton, a winner of a Denver Post Ovation Award, Henry Award, and Westword’s Best of Denver among her many local theater performances, stars as Kate. Two Tony Award nominees, director Randal Myler and Jonathan C. Kaplan (as Greg), also are part of the cast and crew. Denver favorites Jamie Ann Romero (Sylvia) and Randy Moore (Tom, Phyllis and Leslie) round out a stellar cast.
The Ainome Ensemble (Hsing-ay Hsu, Yumi Hwang Williams and Silver Ainome) will perform with other classical musicians on Oct. 19 at the Englewood Civic Center.

Additional concerts are planned for Nov. 23, March 15 (Olga Wolosyn Memorial Concert) and May 17.

Sonia Riggs, formerly the executive director of the American Institute of Architects Colorado, is the heir apparent to eventually take over Pete Meersman’s chief cheese job with the Colorado Restaurant Association as Meersman prepares for his departure. CRA chairman of the board Rich Yoke appointed a search committee to advertise, screen, interview and select someone to serve as the new CRA chief operating officer, a position that will transition into the president and chief executive officer when Meersman, who has led the CRA for 30-plus years, leaves the association Nov. 1, 2014. As of that date, Meersman will become the CRA’s chief strategy officer by serving on various affiliated boards and working on special projects until November 2019. “Sonia will officially begin work at CRA on Nov. 20,” Meersman said in a mass email. “She will be at CRA building on occasion before then for other meetings. “Sonia’s professional references raved about her when I talked to them. (All four AIA references not only praised her, but they asked me not to hire her because they wanted her to stay there.) I spent a morning last talking with Sonia in person.

Getting around with Phileas Fogg Jules Verne story comes to stage at Arvada Center By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com In a time where one can be almost anywhere in the world in a day or two, the audience has to bring imagination to a play set in a time when travelers devoted a year to circumnavigating the globe. Although Jules Verne was excited about the technological advancements in the 1850s, when there was a Society for the Encouragement of Aerial Locomotion by Means of Heavier-Than-Air-Craft, according to the Arvada Center program, he had to dream and write science fiction about new modes of
C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman “Shadowlands” by William Nicholson is a love story about British author C.S. Lewis and Joy Davidman, based on Nicholson’s book. Directed by Craig Bond and Lorraine Scott at Vintage Theatre, 1468 Dayton St., Aurora.
travel. He wrote about Phileas Fogg (Dustin Bronson), a mid-19th-century wealthy nerd, who made a wager with men at his London club that he could go “Around the World in 80 Days.” The Arvada Center presents Creede Repertory Theatre’s witty production of Mark Brown’s play, adapted from the novel, through Oct. 27. It is set in 1872 “in London and around the world.” As lights go up, the stage has a raked platform with a single rose velvet chair centered on it. It will become a ship and other locations in rapid succession. India, Africa, Asia, Europe … Fogg’s previous servant allows that he has just been fired because the shaving water was the wrong temperature for his excessively structured employer. A replacement, the French Passepartout
(Graham Ward), appears, ready to go to work — and to travel, he learns, since Fogg has just made his 20,000-pound bet. He wears his grandfather’s fine watch, which cannot possibly be wrong, he insists. He keeps it on London time through the trip and there is talk throughout about what time it is — a key to the ending. That simple platform becomes many destinations as the imaginative choreography by director Charlie Oates carries it to distant lands. The other scenic prop is a large cabinet that becomes an office for all sorts of characters, mostly played by the versatile Patrick Du Laney, with lightening-fast costume changes. John Arp plays Detective Fix (and others) trailing after Fogg with an arrest warrant. His comic talents are in top form. Caitlin Wise is the fifth member of this talented cast. Among other roles, she is the lovely Aouda, whom
Fogg rescues from some Bedouins and, of course, falls for. Fogg remains himself, but other characters in a variety of costumes and with assorted accents, swirl in and out of a fast-moving story. The audience cheered in several especially cleverly staged scenes. Crisp dialogue, imaginative costumes and precise direction contribute to a well-produced bit of time travel. Suitable for children age 9 and over.
if you go “Around the World in 80 Days,” produced by Creede Repertory Theatre, plays through Oct. 27 at the Arvada Center’s black box theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada.

Choirs sing for others’ supper Concert raises money for groups that help poor By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@ourcoloradonews.com Choirs from four south area churches will join in song at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 18 in a fourth annual concert to celebrate the harvest season — and to raise money for local charities. St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Centennial, will host the event, which will be filled with singing, piano and organ music and scripture readings. The choir at St. Timothy’s, directed by Joyce Culwell, will be joined by choirs from St. Mary Catholic Church, Littleton (Marcia Marchesi); Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, Centennial (Sara Blake) and the Littleton Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,
Littleton Stake (Kent L. Jones). Marcia Marchesi, music director at St. Mary, said that last year, the first for St. Mary, about 120 voices combined to sing “The Heavens Are Telling” from Haydn’s “Creation.” This year, each choir will perform for about 12 minutes, followed by the joint choirs performing “Sing Praise to Him!” by Kent L. Jones. “It’s amazing to hear all the voices fitting together—there’s great energy in the room,” she said. Each of these churches has members from across the south metro area. St. Mary will sing works by two French composers: “Gloria” from “Messe Breve” by Leo Delibes and Cantique de Jean Racine” Op. 11 by Gabriel Faure. A piano piece, with violin, “Meditation” from “Thais” by Massenet will be on the program also. Recipients this year are St. Vincent DePaul Society and HAAT, a small task force

Motorcycle enthusiasts took the opportunity to show off their bikes during the fall festival at Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson on Oct. 5.
RUMBLING into fall Rocky Mountain Harley-Davidson invited one and all to its sixth annual Harvest Festival, with food, bands — and lots and lots of bikes on display. The Humane Society of the South Platte Valley was there with puppies and its adoption-mobile, donated by Ralph Schomp Honda. Barb Krasnopero and Ginger Dean of the Rocky Mountain Harley Owners Group were there raising money for Children’s Hospital. Krasnopero was motivated by gratitude, she said, as her little granddaughter Lucy was there recently with a broken arm. PHOTOS BY JENNIFER SMITH

Fort Morgan sinks Pirates Englewood football team doesn’t quit after falling behind early By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com There was no joy in Englewood Oct. 5 as Fort Morgan came to town and rolled to a 42-12 league football victory. “Fort Morgan is an upper-level league team and we are in the middle of the pack. It was tougher tonight because we had players banged up and had guys ineligible so we didn’t match up very well,” Pirates coach Jay Graves said after the game. “However, I’m proud of our team because, despite the score, our kids played hard, didn’t lose their cool and kept battling until the end of the fourth quarter.” Things get no easier for the Pirates Oct. 11 they travel to Elizabeth to meet one of the teams tied for the league lead. The Cardinals are 4-2 overall and 1-0 in league. They effectively mix the pass and the run to move the ball. Jordan Bucknam is the leading rusher with 57 carries for 409 yards while teammate Chase Nicolas had 51 carries for 292 yards. Nicolas also has caught six passes for 259 yards and a touchdown. The Oct. 11 game is homecoming for the Cardinals and the kickoff will be at 7 p.m. at Elizabeth High School. The Oct. 4 game didn’t start well for the Pirates, as Fort Morgan returned the opening kickoff into Englewood territory and ran a sweep for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Englewood took the opening kickoff but had a third-down pass picked off and returned for a touchdown. The Pirates then received the kickoff, were unable to move the ball and punted. Fort Morgan ran another first play from scrimmage for a touchdown. All three extrapoint ties were good. So, about two minutes after the opening kickoff, the Pirates were down 21-0. Englewood tried a variety of runs and passes but couldn’t mount a sustained
drive. But Fort Morgan’s offense moved the ball and scored 21 more points to lead 42-0 at halftime. The Pirates got on the scoreboard in the third quarter with a strong run by Nick Bersagel. Blockers gave Bersagel an opening on the left side of the formation, he broke through the grasp of a would-be tackler and ran 85 yards for the touchdown. Later in the quarter, Pirates quarterback Isiah Mestas threw a long, on-target pass to Carlos Valdez who gathered it in, outran two defenders as he carried the ball into the end zone. The play covered 76 yards. Both Englewood extra-points tries failed and the final score was 42-12. “As I have said before, we have a lot of young kids in starting spots for us and they are still gaining the experience to play mistake-free. Several times tonight, we saw the results of that when, because of inexperience, our guys were in the wrong place to stop a play,” Graves said. “But we are still trying to get better. Tonight, we had six guys ineligible and that includes four of our starters. That obviously hurt us, but the good news is we expect to have all those guys back when we play Elizabeth.” Graves said he thanked the Fort Morgan coach after the game for the substitutions he made and added that the Mustangs are a class program. Pirates lineman Matt Peters said it was a battle against a pretty good Fort Morgan team. “It was OK tonight. They were OK but we didn’t start soon enough to match up and meet them head on,” he said after the game. “We needed to come out on the opening kickoff and start immediately to hit them hard. We did do a better job in the second half.” Like most Pirates linemen, Peters plays both offense and defense. “I like defense best,” he said. “I guess that’s because I like pushing guys around and flying to the guy with the ball.” The senior said he didn’t feel he played very well against Pueblo County on Sept. 27 but had a better game against Fort Morgan. “I think I was more focused tonight,” he said. “Also, I played a lot more defense and I play better when I play defense.”

Lions win key soccer game Littleton victorious in tough battle with ThunderRidge By Tom Munds
tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com The Littleton High School boys soccer team climbed one step closer to its goal of making the playoffs Oct. 3 by winning a hard-fought battle with ThunderRidge, 2-1 on the Grizzlies’ home field. “All remaining games are very important as we try to make the playoffs,” Lions coach Pedja Vajzovic said after the game. “It was a tough game today. This was an even game early but we also missed scoring a couple of goals we should have scored. They tied the score late in the period so it was all even. We played better in the second half, we worked hard, so we got that goal to give us the win.” ThunderRidge coach Chris Smith was disappointed by the outcome of the game. “This is a must-win game for us because we must win from here out if we are to get into the playoffs,” he said before the game. “We have good players and have worked hard every game. But, we have had several players sidelined by injuries and it seems we haven’t been getting some of those key bounces in our favor that can help you win. So we are at a point now where we have to win the rest of our games to make the playoffs.” The Oct. 3 win elevated the Littleton record to 7-3-1 overall and 4-1-1 in league while ThunderRidge drops to 3-8 overall and 2-6 in league. The league season is in the home
stretch. Littleton was at Littleton Public Schools Stadium Oct. 8 against Legend and Oct. 10 against Douglas County. The Lions are on the road Oct. 12 at Shea Stadium against Highlands Ranch and close out the regular season Oct. 15 at LPS against Chaparral. The Grizzlies have three games left on the schedule. They were at Littleton Public Schools Stadium Oct. 10 against Heritage and played Castle View Oct. 11 at Dick’s Sporting Goods Stadium. The final game of the season is Oct. 15 at Shea Stadium against Douglas County. The Oct. 3 game proved to be an 80-minute back-and-forth battle as each team sought to take control of the tempo of play. A great deal of play was in the middle of the field, as one team attacked and the other team’s defense got control of the ball and sent the action the other way. There were shots on goal that sailed wide of the net, and goalies at both ends of the field caught or deflected those shots that were on target to score. The Lions got on the scoreboard midway through the first half as the team had mounted a succession of attacks. One of attacks pushed the ball deep in ThunderRidge territory and, when there was an opening, Cole Greer drilled a low line-drive shot past the diving Grizzlies goalie. The Grizzlies’ successful attack tied the score with 2:47 left in the first half on a left-footed shot by Eric Meza. The second half was more of the same type of back-and-forth soccer. Littleton’s game winner came midway through the period when Alex Olvera drilled a hard shot at the ThunderRidge goal. Grizzlies goalie Cameron Braaten made a diving deflection but Will Patton was then to put the ball into the back of the net.
The Littleton coach said another win helps the team’s effort to get into the playoffs. “We have four league wins now and four games left to go,” Vajzovic said after the game. “We want to try to win all of them but I believe if we win at least two, we will make the playoffs.” He said he keeps stressing that the team needs more consistent play. “We have a lot of talent and, at times, our team can be scary good,” he said. “But, we can be scary good for a few minutes in a game but then seek to relax and just not play to the level we should be playing. I tell the players this stretch is like the World Cup for us and we need to be scary good for a full 80 minutes each game.” Senior striker Olvera said soccer has been his favorite sport since he was 5 and he loves the game. “My natural position is as a midfielder, but this year our team needed more offense so the coach moved me to forward,” he said. “This is an intense time of the year for all the teams in the Continental League because all the teams want to make the playoffs so everyone is fighting hard to win every game.” He said he feels his asset to put shots on goal is receiving a pass on the ground or looking for a pass over the top to get in position between the last defender and the goalie. Olvera shoots equally well with either foot and said that came from an injury to his left foot. “I couldn’t put weight on the left foot to drive through with my right foot to shoot the ball,” he said. “So, I practiced shooting left-footed. I still have more power when I shoot with my right foot but, if the opening is there, I can shoot well with the left foot.”

Jones District gets Centennial approval 42-acre ‘urban center’ planned near I-25 By George Lurie
glurie@ourcoloradonews.com City council has given the green light to a proposed 1.8-million-square-foot, mixeduse project that will be the city’s single largest commercial development. Following its first public hearing on Oct. 7, the city council unanimously approved rezoning and development agreements for The Jones District, a 42-acre “urban center” development that cable and onlineuniversity entrepreneur Glenn Jones plans to build on a large parcel he owns near East Mineral Avenue and Interstate 25. Plans were submitted this past March for the ambitious project, which could cost more than $200 million to build out over a period of 20 to 25 years and will include commercial, retail and residential components in buildings up to 15 stories tall. The proposed development had a favorable hearing before the city’s planning and zoning commission on Aug. 28. Following the OK from council, Mayor Cathy Noon said: “This project is a large, well-thoughtout, cohesive development with magnificent potential” and will be a boon for future city tax revenues. Being designed by Barber Architecture Corp. of Denver, The Jones District will be built around a “central green” public space and will feature wide sidewalks and a planned connection to the Dry Creek light rail station. Architect Michael Barber told city councilors Oct. 7 that his firm has been working with Jones on the project for the past 19 months. The proposed development site, which is adjacent to Jones International University’s headquarters and just north of IKEA along I-25, is the city’s largest undeveloped parcel of land under single ownership. Mary Bliss, Jones’ vice president for real estate and facilities, said: “This is the high-
est and best use for the land and a Class A project we will all be proud of.” Explaining that the development’s pedestrian-friendly street grid and numerous public spaces will emphasize “walkability,” Bliss added: “We’re looking to create a lively nighttime community, one that doesn’t go dark at 5 o’clock.” The project will be Centennial’s largest private commercial venture to date, dwarfing The Streets of SouthGlenn, which is just over 1 million square feet. Made up mostly of office buildings “compatible in scale with the surrounding buildings to the west,” Barber said the development would also contain “ground floor retail” and possibly a hotel adjacent to I-25. The entire development, Barber added, would feature a “thematic architectural design” with ground floor “arcades to provide for public uses and protection from the elements.” Although the architect has designed up to 20 percent of the project to include residential development, at the public hearing both he and Bliss said that the housing component of their plan “was not a top priority.” “We left residential in the plan but that is not the emphasis of what we are doing,” said Bliss. The Jones District is the first large-scale development to be proposed using the city’s new “form-based” zoning standards, adopted in 2011. The new Land Development Codes were enacted, according to city officials, to make the zoning process less time-consuming and more predictable and business-friendly, especially for large-scale developments. Jones and his team have yet to announce when they hope to break ground. “The next step, now that we have approval,” said Bliss, “is to move forward with the marketing plan.” The next step for the project, according to Centennial spokesperson Allison Wittern, is for The Jones District “to bring site plans for specific buildings and parcels to city council. The timing of this,” she added,
