Local artists’ work displayedMalley Senior Center hosts show by hobbyistsBy Tom [email protected]

The 66 works of art that make up the eighth annual Englewood Art Exhibit are set up in the lobby of the Malley Senior Recre-ation 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 lo-cal artists.

The entries are very diverse in style and medium. Organizers say the show is an op-portunity for individuals who create art for fun to show off their talents. The theme of the show is: “Artist by hobby, not by profes-sion.”

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 En-glewood resident said with a smile. “I actu-ally surprised myself that I was able to do well.”

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 paint-ing turned out and I love it.”

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.

Visitors check out the display at the eighth annual Englewood Art Exhibit. The works will be on display until Oct. 13 in the lobby of the Malley Senior Center. Photos by Tom Munds

Sister city’s mayor pays Englewood a visitBurgermeister from Germany is stepping down from officeBy Tom [email protected]

Retiring Burgermeister Bernhard Well-man of Belm, Germany, and his wife Irm-held stopped in Englewood Oct. 7 to say hello and goodbye to friends and acquain-tances in Englewood, their sister city.

Wellman first met Englewood City Man-ager Gary Sears at an International City Managers Association conference. Both ex-tended invitations for visits.

Belm officials visited Englewood in 2005 and Sears visited Belm in 2006. Englewood and Belm officially became sister cities in 2007.

Englewood held a reception for the visi-tors on Oct. 7. The event was attended by members of the Englewood City Council

School on track for early moveTeachers, crews will be at work during Thanksgiving weekBy Tom [email protected]

School board members voted unani-mously 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 fin-ished 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 class-rooms shifted to the temporary location over the Thanksgiving holiday instead of delaying the move until the winter holi-day break,” Brian Ewert, school super-intendent, 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 En-glewood High School and Englewood Leadership Academy is that students

ENGLEWOOD POLICE REPORT

Equipment theft foiledEnglewood police arrested a

man trying to drive away with a piece of construction equip-ment that didn’t belong to him.

Offi cers went to the inter-section 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.

Offi cers searched the area and stopped a 55-year-old man in a truck that was hauling a piece of construction equip-ment called a Ditch Witch on a trailer.

The police report said it ap-peared the equipment had just been driven onto the trailer. Offi cers 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 traffi c charges and a Commerce City warrant.

The suspect’s truck was im-

pounded and the Ditch Witch was released to the owner.

Drug arrest madeA traffi c stop about 7:15

p.m. Oct. 4 resulted in arrest of a passenger in a van on drug charges.

Offi cers stopped a white van in the 2700 block of South Zuni Street for speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road.

Offi cers recognized the pas-senger from prior contacts, and an investigation was started when police were unable to de-termine the owner of the van.

Englewood requested as-sistance from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Offi ce K-9 offi cer and a search turned up positive results as offi cers found methamphetamine, nar-cotic 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-

trolled substances with intent to distribute.

Injury accident investigatedEnglewood police are inves-

tigating an accident that hap-pened 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 mo-torcycle reported tumbled and the 41 year-old male driver and his 26-year-old female passen-ger 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.

Traffi c investigators arrived on scene and it appears speed and alcohol were factors con-tributing to the accident.

As of Oct. 7, both motorcycle passengers remained at Swed-ish Medical Center and were listed in critical condition.

Accused attacker evaluated in Pueblo By Tom Munds [email protected]

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 depend-ing on the outcome of the court-ordered mental eval-uation at the state mental health facility in Pueblo.

Lisa Pinto, spokes-woman for 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Offi ce, 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 men-tal status at the time of the offense.

Loats, 29, faces charges including fi rst-degree 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 [email protected]

Homecoming week at Englewood High School began Oct. 10 with an assembly that kicked off activities including student lunchtime contests and fl oat 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 lunchtime contests that can range from a dance-off to an air guitar competition.

A series of activities fi lls the Oct. 16 cal-endar. There is a schedule of special lunch-time 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 fl ag football, as the girls of the freshmen and sopho-more classes join forces against a team of juniors and seniors. Since the girls are play-ing football, it is logical for boys, many of them football players, to don the proper at-tire, pick up the pompons and become the cheerleaders.

The usually spirited powder puff is fol-lowed by the homecoming pep rally that,

because of the construction, will be held the stadium.

The evening’s activities wrap up with the snake dance to the practice fi eld for the bonfi re 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 pa-rade, 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, fl oats 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 El-ementary School and turn north on Logan Street, with the parade ending in the stu-dent 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 convert-ibles as well as fl oats from the four classes,

school clubs and the cheerleaders.Just as the day’s light is fading, the fo-

cus again shifts to Englewood High School Stadium for the homecoming game against Weld Central.

As the 7 p.m. kickoff approaches, stu-dents and alumni will fi ll the stands for the game and cheer for the Pirates. Admission is $5 for adults and $4 for students with school identifi cation.

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 so-cial 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 com-mons. Tickets are sold at the commons dur-ing the lunch periods.

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

Second charter school meeting scheduled Proponents will present details of application By Tom Munds [email protected]

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. Mansfi eld Ave.

The Carlton Academy Founding Board fi led an application with the Englewood School District on Aug. 1, seeking school-board approval to open a facility in the city in August 2014.

The fi rst 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 insuffi cient in a number of areas.

Brian Ewert, school superintendent, said the new application met the requirements and the deadline.

“The district reviewed the new applica-tion internally and hired a trio of charter school application experts to review it,” he said. “We will also have the school account-ability 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 Zacha-riah has stepped in, temporarily replacing Matt Whipple as founding board president. She said the group has been working on the

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 ap-plication to the league for review, got their feedback, addressed their concerns and re-submitted it.

She said the result is a superior applica-tion that has been reviewed and approved by charter school experts.

In an earlier interview, Whipple said the new application includes an improved bud-get, and the detailed technical information and specifi c facts provide a better picture of what the school would look like once it is up and running.

Zachariah said Oct. 7 the preferred loca-tion 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, of-fering classes for kindergartners through eighth-graders. The opening enrollment is forecast to be 200 with enrollment increas-ing to 420 in fi ve years.

The academy focus is to be a Core Knowledge charter school that would cre-ate a learning environment where the stu-dents are empowered to succeed.

Zachariah headed last year’s effort to es-tablish a charter school in Englewood. She states her reason was to develop an alter-native 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 con-cert with the school board and school dis-trict to establish a school that will be able to meet the needs of local children who just don’t do well in public school.

School board candidates sought Process underway to � ll vacancy caused by death By Tom Munds [email protected]

Englewood School Board established the process that volunteers will use to become candidates to fi ll 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 elec-tion for a two-year term.

The board also outlined the steps they will take to select fi nalists for the post and eventually make the appointment.

“We declared a board vacancy Sept. 17, which starts the clock because state law re-quires we fi ll 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 fi lled 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 accom-plish as a board member,” he said. “Then, the board selected the fi nalists and held a forum, which included a question-and-an-swer session. After that, the board selected me to fi ll 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 appoint-ment 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 an-other term. The two unopposed candidates to fi ll those spots are Tena Prange and Ja-son 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 superinten-dent.

The board approved the process and agreed to have Prange and Sakry take part in the appointment process.

Candidate requirements are that the in-dividual 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 applica-tion asks for personal information and writ-ten responses to three questions.

City ballots will feature two questions Recreational marijuana, parks designation will go before voters By Tom Munds [email protected]

The November ballot asks Englewood residents whether or not to allow any as-pect of the recreational marijuana indus-try 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 Ques-tion 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 Engle-wood.

The wording of the question states that a ban on all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry does not restrict per-sonal use or growing of marijuana as al-lowed under the Colorado Constitution.

The question also states banning the recreational marijuana industry will have

no impact on Englewood’s licensed medi-cal marijuana businesses, primary care-givers or patients.

However, it is designated as an advi-sory question, so the city council doesn’t have to take action to follow residents’ voting choice on the ballot issue.

Residents collected the required num-ber 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, Bates-Logan, Belleview, Centennial, Clarkson, Cushing, Depot, Duncan, Emerson, Ho-sanna, Jason, Miller Fields, Romans and Rotolo.

Dan Brotzman, city attorney, said if the ballot issue is approved, the designa-tion won’t apply to two of the properties. The decision won’t place a park designa-tion 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.

Council candidates field questions Audience queries range from � nances to grocery-bag fees By Tom Munds [email protected]

Englewood City Council candi-dates stated their points of view on a variety of issues during the Oct. 3 Arapahoe County League of Wom-en Voters forum.

The candidates who attended included two District 2 candi-dates, incumbent Linda Olson and challenger Rita Russell; the two at-large candidates, Scott Gorsky and Steve Yates; and District 4 repre-sentative Rick Gillit, who is unop-posed.

The League of Women Voters moderated the forum and asked candidates questions submitted by members of the audience.

The initial question asked can-didates what they felt was the most critical issue facing the city, and all agreed it was fi nances.

Russell said over the past few years, the city has covered bud-get shortfalls with $6.5 million from reserves. She said the fi nan-cial hemorrhaging must stop and there needs to be major changes to cease defi cit 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 fi nan-cial situation critical. He said re-serves 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 in-crease revenues.

Gorsky said if elected, he would

seek a prioritization of spend-ing. He also said there needs to be more community involvement to help the council deal with the challenging fi nancial 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 rev-enues.

The issue of the sale of the En-glewood 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 coun-cil 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 speakThe candidates had two min-

utes to introduce themselves to the audience.

“I grew up in Englewood and, a couple years ago, I became concerned about what was go-ing on in the city,” Russell said. “A couple years ago, I became very concerned about the council’s fi scal 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 repre-sent 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 of-fi ce for the fi rst 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 turn-ing a failing corporation division around,” he said. “For the last six years, I have been active in seek-ing to preserve the rights of Engle-wood residents. I am concerned there hasn’t been a balanced bud-get 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 collabora-tion 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 fi nancial challenges and drew on comments and suggestions from residents to establish the school district bud-get. If elected, I will promote the same collaborative problem-solv-ing 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 fi rst 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.”

District 2 city council canDiDates

Olson aims for re-election

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 administra-tion from the same school. She earned her Ph.D. from the University of Denver in communications studies.

Her husband was transferred to Colo-rado in 1982 and she worked with non-profit organizations from 1982 until 2000. She has been a professor at the University of Denver since 2003.

She and her husband have three chil-dren who were raised in Englewood. Her hobbies are sewing, traveling, reading and volunteering.

Olson’s answers to the candidate ques-tions are:

Why are you seeking this office? It has been an honor to serve as Dis-

trict 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 pro-cess 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 con-tinue with forward thinking that supports Englewood as a positive, vibrant, and sus-tainable community.

What makes you the best person for the job?

My first term on council built my knowledge about the city, giving me ex-perience in getting things done with oth-ers. I listened to understand and make balanced decisions. My commitment to

responsible economic development is coupled with a strong regard to ensure stable neighborhoods, such as Kent Place and the Medical District. I worked with

others to ensure preser-vation of the post office and historic depot, and to retain the ART-RTD shut-tle. I promoted a sensible water conservation plan. I listen and work collab-oratively. I enjoy working hard to make Englewood a great place to live, work and invest.

What do you believe is the most important issue facing Engle-wood and how will you approach it, if elected?

Our most pressing issue is promoting economic development that nurtures fi-nancial stability and maintains quality of life for all. To remain a full service city, providing strong fire, police, library and other quality services, we need innovative and experienced decision making. I will support diverse business development while promoting strong neighborhoods and housing. Your voice will be important in this.

I will promote a second economic summit, building on our first, to bring businesses together to learn, problem-solve, and innovate. I will promote block-by-block citizen networks for safety and creative problem-solving, ensuring Englewood as a place to live and invest. I support the newly formed Citizen Bud-get Committee to gather ideas and ad-vise council on fiscal responsibility and growth. I will support efforts to attract and keep jobs in Englewood, such as the new development at Craig Hospital. I will work hard to make our city positive, vi-brant and sustainable.

Russell wants budget focus

Rita Russell wants to represent District 2 on the Englewood City Council.

Russell said she is almost an Engle-wood 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 Univer-sity 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 Ser-vice. 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 responsi-

bility to defend the citizen’s rights guaran-teed by the city charter. The council’s vote to sell Depot Park on Aug. 19, 2013, with-out a proper vote by the citizens which is required by the city charter is another re-cent example of irresponsible governing by the current council. Moreover, not only has council accumulated over $7 million in operating deficits, but approved anoth-er $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 lead-ership prompted me to run for council.


I care very deeply about the future of our city and the citizens who live here.

We have a great history and I am com-mitted 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 knowl-edge 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 rights!


Without question the most important issue facing Englewood is unchecked def-icit 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 bal-ance the budget. First and foremost, if elected, I will always vote “NO” to a bud-get that is not balanced! It is not neces-sary 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 devel-opments that will grow our commercial revenue and lead to increased sales tax proceeds.

municipal juDge canDiDate

City roots run deep for judge

Englewood Municipal Judge Vincent At-encio 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 be-fore 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 hob-bies include hiking, skiing, camping and mountain biking.

Atencio’s answers to Colorado Commu-nity Media’s candidate questions are:

Why are you seeking this office?I am running for municipal judge be-

cause it gives me an opportunity to use my skills and abilities to make Englewood a better community. It has been a privilege

and honor to serve the citizens of our city for the last 16 years. I am proud of what we have accomplished and I look forward to serving for another four years.


My experience and the knowledge I have acquired during my time in this posi-tion allow me to deal effec-tively with the wide variety of cases we handle. My goal is to improve my perfor-mance every day and make our court the best munici-

pal court in the state.What do you believe is the most impor-

tant issue facing your city and how will you approach it, if elected?

The court’s primary mission is always to assure that everyone is given their rights of due process while providing the best customer service possible. Currently we are working to implement technological changes that will allow us to operate more efficiently. This includes providing the con-venience of online services during my next term.

Yates blasts city deficits

Steve Yates is one of two candidates seeking to fill the vacant at-large position on Englewood City Council.

Yates was born and raised in the Den-ver area, lived in Englewood and gradu-ated from Cherry Creek High School.

He said he took up general studies while attending Arapahoe Community College before entering the workforce.

Yates worked at a variety of manage-ment positions and said he was tasked with solving problems with available re-sources.

He has been married for 18 years and the couple has two teenage boys. Yates said his hobby is photography when he gets time to pursue it.

Yates’ answers to the candidate ques-tions are:

Why are you seeking this office? I am running for Englewood City

Council at large because Englewood is facing major issues in the coming years. Those include:

• Rebuilding our business district to its former glory. In the 1960s, Broadway south of Yale was nationally known as the golden mile. There is no reason it can’t be that again.

• Protecting the rights of the people of Englewood.

• We need to stay a full service city, and not allow other jurisdictions run our fire department, parks, and library.

• Working to keep our taxes low and reasonable as possible.

• Attract more families to Englewood.What makes you the best person for

the job? I am the best candidate for this posi-

tion due to my diverse business and life experience, along with over 30 years in leadership roles. These experiences in-clude:

Gillit emphasizes business outlook

Since he is unopposed, incum-bent Rick Gillit is assured of serving another four-year term representing District 4 on the Englewood City Council.

Gillit was born in Bavaria, Germa-ny. His mother married an American soldier and the family was stationed at several bases in that country. The family came to the United States when Gillit was 16 and he joined the Air Force at 18. He took his discharge after eight years in the service.

He is a naturalized American citi-zen and came to Englewood in 1986. He earned his degree in electrical technology from Arapahoe Commu-nity College.

He and his wife, Rhonda Jo, have no children. He currently owns and operates a real estate and mortgage business.

Gillit’s answers to Colorado Com-munity Media’s candidate questions are:

Why are you seeking this office?Four years ago, I focused on bring-

ing sound leadership with a strong business experience to this council seat. Running a city is similar to run-ning a business. My management experience in large corporations, as well as my own business, is a great tool in running the city’s business. I wish to continue incorporating these

• At age 27 I started my first successful retail business.

• Turned around a failing corporate di-vision, making it profitable with a 300% growth in two years.

• Professional market-ing experience.

• Serving leadership roles for charitable orga-nizations.

• Experience with managing people.

• Listening and prob-lem solving skills.

• Raising two teenage boys.

• Strong belief in work-ing with what I have.

• Working with local community groups defending your rights.

What do you believe is the most im-portant 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 iden-tify essential city services and their real operating costs. Through strong leader-ship we can fix these perpetual budget shortfalls.

• Promote Englewood so that it can be a diverse retail and commercial environ-ment.

• Develop a plan that enables Engle-wood to be desirable for businesses to invest in.

• Make Englewood a place where people will spend their time, such as at-tracting successful Farmers Markets, and other community events.

• Protecting all of our rights. Coun-cil should have never allowed the sale of park land without the vote of the people.

Yates

Gorsky ready for new post

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 Col-orado-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 af-ter 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 prog-ress comes when people become active in their communities. I seek this office to help play a part in the continual progress of our community.


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 commu-nity.

What do you believe is the most important issue facing Englewood and how will you approach it, if elected?

I believe the most im-portant 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 mil-lion will affect someone in our communi-ty. My first priority will be to understand how the shortfall took place, then open up solution-oriented planning by accom-plishing 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.

district 4 city council candidate

Gillit emphasizes business outlook

Since he is unopposed, incum-bent Rick Gillit is assured of serving another four-year term representing District 4 on the Englewood City Council.

Gillit was born in Bavaria, Germa-ny. His mother married an American soldier and the family was stationed at several bases in that country. The family came to the United States when Gillit was 16 and he joined the Air Force at 18. He took his discharge after eight years in the service.

He is a naturalized American citi-zen and came to Englewood in 1986. He earned his degree in electrical technology from Arapahoe Commu-nity College.

He and his wife, Rhonda Jo, have no children. He currently owns and operates a real estate and mortgage business.

Gillit’s answers to Colorado Com-munity Media’s candidate questions are:

Why are you seeking this office?Four years ago, I focused on bring-

ing sound leadership with a strong business experience to this council seat. Running a city is similar to run-ning a business. My management experience in large corporations, as well as my own business, is a great tool in running the city’s business. I wish to continue incorporating these

core strengths in my next term.Another goal was to break up the

“Good Ole Boy” network within city politics. I believe great strides have been made in getting people in-volved, based in one’s willingness to

serve, not who they knew. This task is not yet completed.


My proven lead-ership and business experience make me a great candi-date for this execu-tive position. I un-

derstand that not all decisions are easy and some may even be unpopu-lar with other council members. My number one focus is “What is BEST for my district and the residents of Englewood” not myself, or any other private business or entity. I have had the courage to stand, sometimes alone, on what I felt were bad deci-sions being made by others on coun-cil and the city staff. Yet I have also been able to collaborate with those I may have disagreements with and work together to get the city’s busi-ness done! I believe this is what is ex-pected from our bosses, the residents of District 4 and Englewood!

I know how to work hard repre-senting my district’s interests and goals! What makes me the best choice is proven leadership and common sense!

What do you believe is the most important issue facing Englewood and how will you approach it, if elected?

What I believe is the most im-portant issue for me in the next four years is working on bringing good sound businesses to Englewood. Not all business are good businesses. We need to focus on building a business community and environment that other businesses want to come and be a part of.

To do this, we as council must decide what kind of business En-glewood wants to encourage. This will take some rethinking of recent and past decisions on what stores are most valuable to our residents and other surrounding businesses. Broadway from Hampden Avenue to Belleview has had little to no vitaliza-tion or focus from our city for years and this must be a priority for the next council. Our residents want it, and our businesses need it!

The city’s finances are always a hot item, but new strong businesses will fix that problem, not raising our taxes!

Gillit


8-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

A week to tout value of newspapersWhere 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 jour-nalist himself, was able to write to a friend: “The report of my death was an exaggera-tion.” 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 communi-ty, they are always at work and always look-ing to reinvent themselves.

We’ve seen this in high-profile deals such as Jeff Bezos’ acquisition of The Wash-ington Post; but we’ve also seen dramatic changes nationally at newspapers large and small, as their news, advertising, marketing

and circulation staffs have embraced a va-riety of digital and social media platforms to reach new and existing readers, while continuing to present the news in the tradi-tional print format.

But the modes of communication are not the most important change: That is in the way that the newspaper has greatly ex-panded its role as watchdog for the com-munity.

Trust in our public institutions is on a steady decline, and sturdy journalism is go-

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 sto-ries of vital importance in their communi-ties 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 at-tention to Tennessee’s Department of Chil-dren’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 be-ing monitored by the state. The reports led

to the department head’s resignation and a restructure of the department.

• An investigation by The Sun Sentinel of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., uncovered wide-spread 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 exam-ples and many more and find that news-papers are amazingly spry and alert — and always at work.

guest editorial

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

“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

“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

“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

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 in-decision 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 ques-tions 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 hap-pens when we are in a relationship, friend-ship, 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

deal, we can make and will make a million wrong decisions in our life. But there is noth-ing 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 [email protected] and when we resolve to leave the “tweener” in us behind, it really will be a better than good week.

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-rolls-half-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 start-ed? It is most commonly associated with Hal-loween 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 Lu-cile 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

after Wham-O bought the rights, and it was learned that Northeastern college students were calling them Frisbies. 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 peo-ple 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. I picture one of two things. A workers’ riot at Charmin.

My father sold ball bearings, or more ex-actly, he sold the balls for ball bearings.

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 hap-pened. 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 pa-per landed in the trees and streamed down. Too drunk to clean up their mess, it was left.

It being homecoming weekend, some lo-cal high school kids thought it was Charmin’s

way of saying “Go Mechanicsburg!” and a tra-dition 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 any-thing. There could be TP hit squads for hire. If you are my age and wanted to TP the Wa-terhavens, 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, unfortu-nately. 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 rea-son, it has been passed along, generation to generation, and there is no end in sight.

Forgive me.

Clerk’s office makes changes for residents While my fi rst six months in offi ce as the

Arapahoe County clerk and recorder have gone by very quickly, I am pleased to report that we have accomplished a great deal in that short amount of time. Here is what we accomplished thus far:

• We have extended our offi ce hours. Our offi ces are now open until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. By expanding offi ce hours, we are increasing access to our services for the citizens of Arapahoe County.

• We have created an online motor vehicle title registration quote tool, allowing you to get an idea of what it will cost to title your ve-hicle before coming to our offi ce.

• We are now issuing marriage and civil union licenses at our Byers Branch Offi ce.

• We have started cross-training employ-ees across departments to create greater fl exibility and effi ciency by helping us meet 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 fi nd contact information for their elected offi cials, track their mail ballot, see the lat-est 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 hap-pening in our offi ces. Please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and

Instagram.• We have added additional mail ballot

drop-off locations in southeast Aurora, Stras-burg 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 depart-ments by deploying a queuing system that will allow us to guide customers to specifi c representatives who can meet their needs quickly and effi ciency. 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 Offi ce to make it more accessible for our citizens with disabilities.

• We will continue cross-training employ-ees across departments for greater effi ciency and fl exibility.

• We will prepare for the 2014 primary and general elections under the guidelines of our 2013 legislation that will affect our mail bal-lot and same day voter registration processes. We will look to implement these changes as part of our mission to conduct fair, transpar-ent, and secure elections.

As you can see, we have accomplished a great deal over the fi rst 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 pos-sible 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 [email protected]. My staff and I look for-ward to seeing you in our offi ces soon.

Matt Crane, Arapahoe County’s clerk and re-corder, was appointed earlier this year, follow-ing former clerk Nancy Doty’s election as an Arapahoe County commissioner.

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 unprece-dented fl ooding. The heroism and gener-osity we’re seeing in Colorado both dur-ing and after the fl ood is in stark contrast to the ideology and bluster coming out of Washington.

In Colorado, we had a year’s worth of rain-fall in one day alone. It led to historic fl oods that caused unimaginable destruction. The disaster damaged more than 18,000 homes, forced tens of thousands of Coloradans to evacuate, fl ooded hundreds of agricultural fi elds and pastures, and crippled infrastruc-ture. Roughly 50 bridges and more than 200 miles of major roadways were destroyed. In total, the fl oodwaters consumed more than 2,000 miles across 17 counties. Most tragic of

all, we lost nine lives.In the face of this tragedy and destruc-

tion we witnessed the resilience, courage, and selfl essness of Coloradans from across the state. It has been inspiring. From the fi rst responder who rescued Lyons resident Cheron Boland in the bucket of an excava-tor 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 Uni-versity of Colorado football team swapped helmets for hairnets and served hot meals to fi rst responders and families who had been evacuated. In Greeley, local businesses orga-nized a Family Fun Night for children who were forced to leave their homes, and in Mi-liken, a selfl ess farmer turned a fl oodgate valve to divert overfl owing 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 fi x our broken immigration system. It has not made progress on an energy plan or taken serious steps to improve our infrastructure or edu-cation system. Now the debate has spiraled into a shouting match risking the full faith and credit of our country and we’ve had our fi rst 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 fi nd com-mon-sense, middle-ground solutions on issues like immigration and our debt and defi cit.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Men make difference of life and deathLocal heroes honored by Arapahoe sheriff ’s officeBy Ryan [email protected]

Sometimes instinct just takes over, and when it does, lives can be saved.

Meet Richard Mandeville, Daniel Ber-tram and Troy Steadman, who just hap-pened to be in the right place at the right time, and because of it, will now watch two young boys grow up to become men.

Mandeville, 47, an airline pilot from Highlands Ranch, was enjoying a 90-de-gree, 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, point-ing 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 Mu-tasem Masoud and Ibrahim Bdawi had be-come 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 Man-deville, who had sprinted onto the scene with his son trailing behind, each began ad-ministering 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 yell-ing from family members, the boys were coughing up water and vomiting.

“They were literally dead,” said Bertram,

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 Abdel-

salam 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 furloughsEffects of decision on Waterton facility unclear at this timeBy Jennifer [email protected]

Lockheed Martin, a major em-ployer in the south-metro region, is furloughing 3,000 employees start-ing Oct. 7 as a result of the govern-ment shutdown.

“Today’s announcement affects all our business areas across the country,” Gary Napier, local spokes-man for the company, said without confirming whether the Waterton Canyon facility will be impacted specifically. “We remain in discus-sions with our customers to assess individual program impacts. This is an ongoing situation and it’s prema-ture to say where the immediate ef-fects are right now.”

The number of employees affect-ed is expected to increase weekly in the event of a prolonged shut-down, according to a press release. This includes employees who work in a government facility that’s been closed and those whose projects re-quire a government inspection that can’t be completed, or when Lock-heed 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 Maril-lyn 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 Com-merce Economic Forecast Breakfast, Joe Rice, Lockheed Martin Space Systems director of government re-lations and former state representa-tive from Littleton, addressed what was then the looming fiscal cliff that led to the sequestration.

“It’s not a question of if it’s re-solved,” said Rice. “It’s more of how it will be addressed.”

Rice noted that Lockheed has plenty to lose, as its major custom-ers 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 fur-loughs could happen.

“We deeply regret the effect that sequestration is having on our dedi-cated and hard-working employ-ees,” read a press release issued at the time.

“While we await more specific direction from our government cus-tomers, we are concerned with the lack of progress toward a solution to reverse the negative impacts of se-questration.

“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. How-ever, 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’ mis-sion.

“The fiscal impasse continues to greatly complicate our ability to plan, make necessary capital invest-ments, and recruit and hire the next generation of science and engineer-ing talent. We urge our elected lead-ers 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 Lock-heed’s Space Systems Company, which employs 3,800 people in Colorado. Programs based there in-clude GPS III, MAVEN, OSIRIS-Rex and Juno.

In total, Lockheed employs 8,300 people in Colorado, with other loca-tions 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.

Sakry aims for district progress

Jason Sakry’s first effort to be elected to public office is successful, as he is un-opposed in his bid to serve on the Engle-wood Board of Education.

Sakry was born in Edina, Minn., raised in Egan, Minn. and earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from St. Thomas Col-lege in St. Paul, Minn.

He said he came to Colorado for the mountains in 2002. He currently is work-ing for a company as an investment ad-viser.

Sakry is married. He and his wife, Lau-ra, 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 com-

munity 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 op-portunity 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!

SCHOOL BOARD CANDIDATES

Sakry aims for district progress

Jason Sakry’s fi rst effort to be elected to public offi ce is successful, as he is un-opposed in his bid to serve on the Engle-wood Board of Education.

Sakry was born in Edina, Minn., raised in Egan, Minn. and earned his bachelor’s degree in fi nance from St. Thomas Col-lege in St. Paul, Minn.

He said he came to Colorado for the mountains in 2002. He currently is work-ing for a company as an investment ad-viser.

Sakry is married. He and his wife, Lau-ra, have a son, Ethan, 6, and a daughter, Emily, 4.

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!


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 his-tory of Englewood.

The new high school and middle school cam-puses represent a new

chapter in this history and offer a re-newed 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 ap-proach it, if elected?

A stronger community creates a more effective learning environment. As mem-bers 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 terrifi c metropolitan area, we will en-joy the experience, tradition, and positive energy that can only be created in a col-laborative effort.

Sakry

Prange pushes kids’ standards

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 Univer-sity of Phoenix. She earned her master’s degree in nonprofi t management from Regis University. She currently works for the state as a fi nance and contract special-ist. She has three daughters, all attending Englewood schools. Her hobbies are hik-ing, reading and baking.

Prange’s answers to Colorado Commu-nity Media’s candidate questions are:

Why are you seeking this offi ce?I have three children in Englewood

schools and have a long-term interest in assuring they are offered a quality educa-tion that will poise them to be 21st-cen-tury graduates. Additionally, I have been active in volunteering for the district for the past eight years, including two years on the District Accountability Commit-tee. I believe I have a great perspective on what the experience of having children in several Englewood schools feels like on a daily basis.


I am driven by an unyielding commit-ment to all Englewood schoolchildren and believe it is our adult responsibility to cre-ate a safe and nourishing school environ-ment for them. I believe accountability and transparency are paramount to as-suring 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 un-derstand the foundation of reasoning be-fore 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 Engle-wood schools, and how will you approach it?

I believe bridging the gap in the increased rigor of standards by which we assess Englewood stu-

dents is some of the most pressing work currently occurring in the district. I plan to use my analytical skills of a business back-ground to create a more thorough under-standing of the curriculum and systems changes needed to make sure Englewood students are up to standard. Only by do-ing 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 contin-ued opportunities for vocational training, and enhancing our accelerated academic paths. Most importantly, I seek to assure that Englewood students have a consis-tent and strong voice in shaping their fu-ture.

It’s all about the ZOMBIES

Staff report

Downtown Littleton kicked off the Hal-loween 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 hap-less Littleton citizens, Reinke Bros. Hallow-een 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 pur-chase.

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.

Zombie Rudi Monterroso tries to resist dining on his adorable daughter, 3-month-old Anjeli.

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.

Vendors get crafty at KetringStaff 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 Li-brary. Hundreds, if not thousands, of shop-pers got an early start on Christmas shop-ping 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.

Looking through Sue Kelley’s stained glass, which she was selling at the annual Friends of the Library and Museum Craft Fair at Ketring Park Oct. 5.


Vendors put out a plethora of colorful dispays at Ketring Park Oct. 5 for the annual Friends of the Library and Museum Craft Fair. Polly Ferguson displays her handmade quilts during the annual Friends of Library and Museum Craft Fair Oct. 5 at Ketring Park.

We’re inspired by classic Colorado architecture and passionate about cra smanship. Yet we geek out on the latest technology and building techniques. The thicker walls in our high performance homes allow for 60% more money-saving insula on than in a conven onal home, and our roof is 6 inches higher than a typical home, so we get 2½ mes MORE insula on in the a c. This reduces heat loss, and more importantly, reduces your energy bill!

Costs uncertain in 51st-state plan Secession might leave urban areas better o� By Burt Hubbard I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

Colorado could stand to benefi t fi nan-cially 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 No-vember’s ballot, Moffat County in far north-west Colorado also will vote on whether to leave. But Moffat apparently wants to be-come Baja Wyoming.

I-News at Rocky Mountain PBS ana-lyzed census, budget, crime and voter re-cords to develop profi les of a new 51st state and a truncated Colorado. Suffi ce it to say, Colorado would no longer be considered a square state. And, of course, neither would Wyoming, with its new Moffat County pan-handle.

Residents of the 11 counties will decide next month whether to start the fraught-with-diffi culty 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 separa-tion, in 1863, during the Civil War, a move validated solely by a proclamation from President Lincoln, according to a state web-site.

It isn’t that easy today. One impediment: Colorado and both house of the U.S. Con-gress would have to agree.

But proponents of secession said rural Coloradans are tired of having unpopular laws like stronger gun control and manda-tory 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 angerJohn 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 al-ternative 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 constitu-tional minefi eld 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 fi nancial viability of a new state and its impact on the remainder of Colorado.

Financially, state government in Colo-rado 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 ex-penditures 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 ac-counts for about three-fourths of the reve-nue 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 coun-ties for K-12 school funding, incarcerat-ing criminals from the counties, providing Medicaid, running the courts and the state’s share of running one university and three community colleges.

Those costs equal about 84 percent of the state’s overall general fund spending in the secession-voting counties. Extrapo-lating 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 com-ing back to these counties,” said Brian Le-wandowski, economist with the Leeds Busi-ness 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 Lewan-dowski.

Figures in disputeHowever, advocates of secession dis-

agree with the I-News analysis and point to their own report that shows the coun-ties break even with state government on spending and revenue.

The differences between the two analy-ses involved spending fi gures on K-12 edu-cation, revenue from the state income tax and severance taxes from oil and gas devel-opment.

Gov. John Hickenlooper’s offi ce had no comment on what fi nancial impact the se-cession would have on Colorado.

The I-News analysis did not examine how much money the counties currently receive directly from oil and gas opera-tions. 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 dol-lars 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 pre-viously was chief of staff to former U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, R-Colo.

During the recent fl ooding, 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 Gree-ley 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 Colo-rado, collaboration with the state, not se-cession, is the solution.

Demographically and politically, the two states — North Colorado and Colorado — would look quite different, the I-News anal-ysis showed.

North Colorado would be predominant-ly Republican, with the fi fth highest ratio of Republicans to Democrats in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Democrats in Colorado would outnumber Republicans for the fi rst time in years.

“We would have a red state and a blue state,” Straayer said.

Education disparityThe would-be exiting counties are gen-

erally 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 fi fth 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 per-centage 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 popula-tion would only be about 1 percent, the fi fth lowest in the U.S.

And then, of course, there are the is-sues of marijuana and tornadoes. Legal pot would stop at old Colorado’s borders. About half of the state’s tornados touch down ev-ery year in the counties that would leave Colorado.

Even if approved by the counties in-volved, secession would appear to remain a long shot, as it would require both Colorado and federal approval.

State ratifi cation could come in a citi-zens’ initiative — such as the one that legal-ized recreational marijuana — in a referred ballot measure from the legislature, or in an act of the legislature, said Richard Col-lins, professor at the University of Colorado School of Law.

If that happened, it would then need ap-proval 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 fl ood damage in Julesburg, which would be part of the new state, he assured offi cials 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.”

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. Demoli-tion of the building is scheduled to begin the week of Dec. 16.

Ewert said teachers are now being provid-ed 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 sys-tem 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

this move and all agreed to the calendar change and the early moving date,” the super-intendent 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 Transporta-tion Supervisor Dave Henderson added that he has been in contact with an organization that will accept donations of used school fur-niture that will be given to schools in Africa.

and city staff members. Also, Bernhard Jurgn Bleise, Federal Republic of Germany hon-orary 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 Engle-wood 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,” Engle-wood 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 retire-ment is to do nothing for a time.

“After doing nothing for a little while, I want to continue my writing. I write histori-cal 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 reli-gion to middle school students. I love that because music is me, it is my love,” she said with a smile. “Of course, talking about re-ligion to middle school students is a major challenge.”

Upscale resale store opens in areaFounders follow up on Plato’s Closet successBy Jane [email protected]

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 found-ers also launched Plato’s Closet, aims for a more mature demo-graphic than Plato’s Closet’s teens and twenty-somethings custom-ers.

It offers high-quality resale clothing, jewelry and accessories.

The new Lone Tree store is the fourth Clothes Mentor in Colo-rado, 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 condi-tion,” 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 lo-cal 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 in-clude 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

offer among the greatest values. A prominent corner of the store is reserved just for them.

“The best values are on design-er 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 experi-ence at thrift store prices.

“We want to create a shop-ping mall-type experience,” Brill

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 lit-tle more savings-conscious with the economy the way it’s been,”

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 Den-nis 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 com-pany website.

Theater offers stray of hope

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 empty-nest 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.Lone-TreeArtsCenter.org or by calling 720-509-1000.

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.

Boys and Girls Club opensThe 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 ac-cused of attempted murder.

Boldfaced names like Denver Mayor Mi-chael 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 shak-ers 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 com-munity here had gone through its ups and downs. But we want to recognize its past with an eye on its future.”

`Girl’ power for CRASonia Riggs, formerly the executive

director of the American Institute of Ar-chitects 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 adver-tise, 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 oc-casion 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 morn-ing last talking with Sonia in person. She

RUSTED ROOT to headline Gothic

Band tours behind its seventh studio albumBy Ryan [email protected]

Celebrating more than two decades of music and touting its 2012 release, “The Move-ment,” Rusted Root is bringing its hard-touring act to Engle-wood.

The Pittsburgh-based out-

fit, which broke onto the scene in the early 1990s with its sec-ond 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 Mi-chael Glabicki, the group’s lead vocalist and primary songwrit-er.

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 experimen-tation, 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

Englewood plans chamber seriesSilver Ainomae takes role with arts groupBy Sonya [email protected]

Englewood Arts Presents announces the appointment of Silver Ainomae, Col-orado 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 con-certs, performed in Hampden Hall, sec-ond 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 com-posers 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 De-bussy `Cello Sonata,’ Arvo Part’s `Mozart Adagio,’ a one-movement quartet (Quar-tettsatz 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)

and Anne Ainomae (viola).”Future programs in the Saturday se-

ries, held at 2 p.m., will be on Jan. 18, Feb. 15 and April 26. Additional concerts are planned for Nov. 23, March 15 (Olga Wolo-syn Memorial Concert) and May 17.

Englewood Arts also presents a Friday evening, 7:30 p.m., series called “Starlight Rhythms,” also in Hampden Hall. First is

“That Damn Sasquatch” on Oct. 18, play-ing mixed genres.

Tickets for the Saturday concert series: $15/$12/free under 18, available at engle-woodarts.org or at the door a half-hour prior to concert time. 303-806-8196.

Getting around with Phileas FoggJules Verne story comes to stage at Arvada CenterBy Sonya [email protected]

In a time where one can be almost any-where in the world in a day or two, the audi-ence has to bring imagination to a play set in a time when travelers devoted a year to cir-cumnavigating the globe.

Although Jules Verne was excited about the technological advancements in the 1850s, when there was a Society for the Encour-agement of Aerial Locomotion by Means of Heavier-Than-Air-Craft, according to the Ar-vada Center program, he had to dream and write science fiction about new modes of

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 plat-form with a single rose velvet chair centered on it. It will become a ship and other loca-tions 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 des-tinations 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 charac-ters, 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 charac-ters in a variety of costumes and with assort-ed accents, swirl in and out of a fast-moving story. The audience cheered in several espe-cially cleverly staged scenes.

Crisp dialogue, imaginative costumes and precise direction contribute to a well-pro-duced bit of time travel. Suitable for children age 9 and over.

“Around the World in 80 Days,” produced by Creede Reper-tory Theatre, plays through Oct. 27 at the Arvada Center’s black box theatre, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., Arvada. Per-formances: 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 1 p.m. Wednesdays; 2 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays. Tickets: Arvada-center.org, 720-898-7200.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF OCT 7, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Aries charm helps persuade others to listen to your proposal. But it’s still a long way from acceptance, unless you can stand up to the tough questions that are set to follow.TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Plan to share a weekend getaway from all the pressures of your hectic workaday world with a very special someone. You could be pleasantly surprised at what develops.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Your keen insight once again helps you handle a challenging situation with a clearer perception of what it’s really all about. What you learn helps you make a difficult decision.CANCER (Jun 21 to July 22) If you want to steer clear of getting involved in a new family dispute, say so. Your stand might cause hurt feelings for some, but overall, you’ll be respected for your honesty.LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) Expect recognition for your efforts in getting a project into operation. Besides the more practical rewards, your Lion’s heart will be warmed by the admiration of your colleagues.VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Set aside time to rid yourself of clutter that might well be drawing down your creative energies. Consider asking someone to help you decide what stays and what goes.LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A colleague could make a request that might place you in an awkward position with co-workers. Best advice: Share your concerns with an associate you can trust.SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Your energy levels are way up, allowing you to take on the added challenge of a task you’ve been hoping to secure. Expect this move to lead to an important opportunity.SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Your continuing sense of confidence in what you’ve set out to do gives encouragement to others. Expect to see more people asking to add their efforts to yours.CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) You might think it would be best to reject a suggestion others insist would be unworkable. But you might be surprised by what you find if you give it a chance.AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Changing a decision might disappoint some people, but the important thing is that you be honest with yourself. Don’t go ahead with anything you have doubts about.PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) There could be some fallout from an emotional confrontation that you really should deal with before moving on. Best to start fresh with a clean, clear slate.BORN THIS WEEK: Your honesty not only helps you make decisions for yourself, but also helps others find the right choices for themselves.

HUGESWAP MEET

Choirs sing for others’ supper Concert raises money for groups that help poor By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

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 har-vest season — and to raise money for local charities.

St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church, Cen-tennial, will host the event, which will be fi lled with singing, piano and organ mu-sic 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 fi rst for St. Mary, about 120 voices combined to sing “The Heavens Are Telling” from Haydn’s “Creation.” This year, each choir will per-form 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 fi tting 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 De-Paul Society and HAAT, a small task force

that aids the homeless. “We hope to raise even more this year,” she said.

Each group rehearses separately until concert day, learning the new music.

They gather early and rehearse the joint music several times prior to the perfor-mance.

Admission is free, however a free-will of-fering is welcome.

mastered. Then when we put it all together, it becomes very expres-sive, natural-sounding and fun,” he said.

Whether in the studio or on the stage, Glabicki said he is having more fun now than at any point

in Rusted Root’s 21-year career to-gether.

One of three original members still in the band, along with per-cussionist Liz Berlin and bassist Patrick Norman, Glabicki says the band has at last found its drummer in Preach Freedom, and guitarist Dirk Miller has been a fantastic ad-dition to the group, since replacing guitarist Colter Harper six months ago.

The group is averaging about 160 shows a year, and in addition to performing, is currently working on a rockumentary and beginning to write for an eighth studio album.

Glabicki’s first solo release is also due out sometime next sum-mer, which he says will be a very intimate collection of songs per-formed with a core trio he has been working with for the past two years.

“It’s going to be a whole lot more of me,” he said. “I’m strip-ping it down to more sparse acous-tic songs, while part of the record will be a lot more rocking.”

For more information or to pur-chase tickets, visit www.Rusted-Root.com or www.gothictheatre.com. Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 day of show. Showtime is 8 p.m. Oct. 18 at The Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood.

Fort Morgan sinks PiratesEnglewood football team doesn’t quit after falling behind early

By Tom [email protected]

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 play-ers 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 car-ries 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 open-ing 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 re-turned 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 extra-point 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 Ber-sagel. 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 � underRidge By Tom Munds [email protected]

The Littleton High School boys soc-cer 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 fi eld.

“All remaining games are very im-portant 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 be-cause we must win from here out if we are to get into the playoffs,” he said be-fore 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 play-offs.”

The Oct. 3 win elevated the Little-ton 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 fi nal 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 fi eld, 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 fi eld caught or defl ected those shots that were on target to score.

The Lions got on the scoreboard midway through the fi rst half as the team had mounted a succession of at-tacks. 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 div-ing Grizzlies goalie.

The Grizzlies’ successful attack tied the score with 2:47 left in the fi rst 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 defl ection 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 midfi eld-er, but this year our team needed more offense so the coach moved me to for-ward,” he said. “This is an intense time of the year for all the teams in the Con-tinental League because all the teams want to make the playoffs so everyone is fi ghting 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 ei-ther 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.”

City council has given the green light to a proposed 1.8-million-square-foot, mixed-use project that will be the city’s single larg-est commercial development.

Following its fi rst public hearing on Oct. 7, the city council unanimously approved rezoning and development agreements for The Jones District, a 42-acre “urban cen-ter” development that cable and online-university 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 compo-nents in buildings up to 15 stories tall.

The proposed development had a favor-able 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-thought-out, cohesive development with magnifi -cent 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 coun-cilors Oct. 7 that his fi rm has been working with Jones on the project for the past 19 months.

The proposed development site, which is adjacent to Jones International Univer-sity’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 pe-destrian-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, dwarf-ing The Streets of SouthGlenn, which is just over 1 million square feet.

Made up mostly of offi ce buildings “compatible in scale with the surround-ing buildings to the west,” Barber said the development would also contain “ground fl oor retail” and possibly a hotel adjacent to I-25.

The entire development, Barber added, would feature a “thematic architectural de-sign” with ground fl oor “arcades to provide for public uses and protection from the ele-ments.”

Although the architect has designed up to 20 percent of the project to include resi-dential development, at the public hear-ing both he and Bliss said that the housing component of their plan “was not a top pri-ority.”

“We left residential in the plan but that is not the emphasis of what we are doing,” said Bliss.

The Jones District is the fi rst 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 offi cials, to make the zoning process less time-consuming and more predictable and business-friend-ly, 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 Wit-tern, is for The Jones District “to bring site plans for specifi c buildings and parcels to city council. The timing of this,” she added,

“depends on what market opportunities present themselves.”

Chairman and CEO of Jones Interna-tional Ltd., Glenn Jones built his Colorado business empire over the past four decades, working fi rst in cable television and, in more recent years, by capitalizing on the

growing fi eld of online education. He was inducted into the Colorado Business Hall of Fame in 2013.

Following the unanimous council ap-proval for the project on Oct. 7, Noon said, “Congratulations and welcome Jones Dis-trict! We are very excited.”
