Pot vote might put council on spotBan on marijuana industry doesn’t fare well in electionBy Tom [email protected]

Voters disagreed with Englewood’s cur-rent ban on the recreational marijuana industry, which was the subject of a non-binding question on the Nov. 5 ballot.

Now, city council members believe the issue will come before them in the near fu-ture.

Ballot Issue 2B asked voters whether to keep the ban. About 52 percent voted against the ban, according to the final tally by the Arapahoe County clerk’s office.

The existing ban on all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry in Engle-wood dates back to an April 15 city council meeting. At the same meeting, the council put the advisory question on the ballot.

The Nov. 8 count of votes showed 3,856 residents voted to get rid of the ban, while

3,587 voted to keep the ban in place.The council placed 2B on the ballot as

a non-binding question, which means the outcome doesn’t require council action. However, all seven council members ex-pect the issue of whether or not to keep the ban to be on a future council meeting agenda.

“I expect the issue of the ban and bal-lot issue will come to the council,” Mayor Randy Penn said. “I personally don’t want to see the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood. But the people cast their votes on the ballot issue, and how can you

go against the will of the people?”The final count didn’t surprise Council-

member Joe Jefferson.“I think the vote on Ballot Issue 2B re-

flects the fact about 64 percent of Engle-wood resident voted last year to approve legalization of recreational marijuana,” he said. “I guess those who felt recreational marijuana was right for the state also felt it was right for Englewood.”

He said he feels the council will consider the issue of whether or not to lift the ban on the recreational marijuana industry.

Shrine building project unveiledDeveloper explains plans to neighborsBy Tom [email protected]

Residents raised concerns about parking, traffic and wear and tear on the alley at the Nov. 7 neighborhood meet-ing about the project proposed for the Shrine Club located on the corner of Floyd and Logan and the house and lot to the north.

Troy Terhune, a partner in the devel-opment company, explained his com-pany wants to build four apartments and four homes in the Shrine Club and land to the north. He added that the project is a proposal and there could be changes. It also said the site would have to be rezoned from R1c to a planned unit development, which could take six months or more. He explained the re-zoning must be completed before con-struction can begin.

“Our company bought the Shrine Club at the corner of Floyd and Logan and the house next door,” Terhune said. “The Shrine Club is a cool building and our proposal is to build four apartments here, two upstairs and two downstairs. We also propose tearing down the house next door in order to build four single-family, for sale cottages.”

He said plans are for the apart-ments to be 1,000 to 1,500 square feet with two bedrooms and two baths. The cottages will be two-story, 2,000- to 2,500-square-foot buildings with three or four bedrooms. Each cottage will also have a detached two-car garage. Ter-hune added there will be storage above the garages that the homeowner can pay to have finished so it could be rented as an apartment.

The possibility of four additional apartments didn’t set well with the neighbors. While the planned parking appeared adequate for the apartments in the Shrine Club and the four cottages, there could be a parking problem if the garage apartments were rented.

One resident, who declined to give his name, said he expected the parking on the street will be filled all the time in a neighborhood where there are many

Veterans Day ceremonies heldAbout 1,000 attend event at Fort LoganBy Tom [email protected]

A steady parade of men, women and children moved into place Nov. 11 for the annual Veterans Day Ceremonies at Fort Logan National Cemetery.

Every year, the Department of Colorado, District 10 Veterans of Foreign Wars and Ladies Auxiliary sponsor the event that fol-lows a traditional agenda.

This year, members of the Civil Air Pa-trol posted the colors, and there were pa-triotic songs sung by Cassandra Ellis, an Air Force veteran. There were speeches before a wreath was placed at a symbolic head-stone, bagpiping by retired Marine Master Gunnery Sgt. Ken Giese and the rifle salute by members of VFW Post 9644 honor guard. Members of Bugles across America played “Taps.”

Many individuals and groups decided to do something to mark Veterans Day.

The Campbell and Luckenbill children are homeschooled. Their parents had them prepare thank-you notes they handed out to veterans.

Near time for the ceremonies to start,

buses dropped off 24 young people from the Littleton Public Schools transition pro-gram so they could be at the event. Many of the students brought wreaths they had made. Each wreath was designated for a particular military service and the students placed the wreaths next to the headstone of a veteran of those services.

Also, members of the Mountain View Chapter of Young Marines were in uniform. They handed out programs, stood with the flags near the podium and assisted in the ceremonies.

Retired Marine Gunnery Sgt. Pedro L. Galan attended the ceremony in full dress uniform. He and his wife Elida stood dur-ing the event and they joined in singing “God Bless America.”

Emergency exercise held at high schoolHundreds take part in active shooter drillBy Tom [email protected]

Emergency equipment lined the streets in the area around Englewood High School Nov. 8 so about 300 first responders could take part in exercises coordinating the re-sponse to an active shooter inside the build-ing.

To make the exercise as real as possi-ble, more than 135 volunteers willingly let makeup artists create wounds and injuries on their bodies. The list of volunteers in-cluded 55 drama students from an Aurora high school as well as EHS students.

The first of three scenarios began about 8 a.m. A team of officers wearing body ar-mor and gas masks entered the building. The explosions and gunfire echoed through the hall before the area was declared clear. Then, firefighters and paramedics went into the high school to help the victims of the shooting.

The walking wounded were escorted out and paramedics set up a triage to evaluate the injuries at the corner of Logan and Man-sfield. The most seriously “injured” were

loaded into ambulances and taken to either Swedish Medical Center or Littleton Adven-tist Hospital.

Englewood police and fire departments hosted the exercises involving six law en-forcement agencies, three fire departments, three private ambulance companies, two hospitals and Tri-County Health Depart-ment

“We have been working on plans for the day’s exercises since January,” Police Cmdr. Gary Condreay said. “The goal was to devel-op coordinated response to a situation we hope never happens.”

Englewood High School administrators and staff were also part of the exercise.

“This was a valuable experience for us,” said Jonathan Fore, EHS principal. “We learned a lot about what will happen should we have such a situation in our building.”

Rose Lynch, city emergency manage-ment specialist, was executive director of the exercise.

In her press release about the exercise, she said a debriefing was held at the end of the event to discuss how things went and, if there any areas for improvement.

The statement said that further analysis will be conducted in coming weeks and in-corporated into an after-action report that will be shared with all the agencies taking part in the exercises.

155 volunteer victims who came out of the building with makeup resembling realistic

wounds.

New school board members seated � ree sworn in, two step down By Tom Munds [email protected]

Ceremonies headed the agenda of the Nov. 7 Englewood School Board meeting as the two departing members were honored, the three new members were sworn in and the board reorganization named the new offi cers.

School Board President Scott Gorsky opened his fi nal meeting before leaving of-fi ce.

One of the fi rst ceremonies honored Gorsky and board member Tom O’Connor for their service. Gorsky couldn’t seek re-election because of term limits and O’Connor not to be a candidate in the elec-tion.

Gorsky then called up the three new

members of the board, Tena Prange, Jason Sakry and Kevin Ebert, and administered the oath of offi ce.

The board was reorganized with return-ing member Duane Tucker named presi-dent, Vicki Howard as fi rst vice president and Tena Prange as second vice president.

There was no school board election this year because there were three candidates for the three vacancies, Prang, Sakry and Gene Turnbull. The election was canceled Sept. 3, and on Sept. 5 Turnbull lost a battle with illness and died.

The remaining board members estab-lished a process and sought application to fi ll the vacancy. They received 12 applica-tions and narrowed the fi eld to fi ve fi nalists for interviews. Following the interviews, the board selected Ebert to fi ll the vacancy.

Prange and Sakry will serve four-year terms on the board. As an appointee, Eb-ert’s term is only two years so, if he wishes to remain on the board, he will be a board candidate in 2015.

City swim program honored ‘Make a Splash’ lessons win award from state By Tom Munds [email protected]

The Colorado Parks and Recreation As-sociation presented Englewood the Col-umbine Award for innovation for its “Make a Splash” program at the association’s an-nual conference on Sept. 27.

The aquatics department of the Engle-wood Parks and Recreation Department teamed up with USA Swimming to expand awareness about the importance of wa-ter safety. Since 2010, the department has awarded more than $14,000 in grants to pay for free or reduced cost swimming les-sons for at-risk children.

The grant was used to provide scholar-ships. The scholarship program boosted the number of children registered for swim lessons by 20 percent from 2009 to 2012.

Grant funds also helped make it pos-sible for the recreation department to give away about 1,000 free passes to either Pi-rates Cove Family Aquatic Center or the indoor pool at the Englewood Recreation Center.

Brad Anderson, aquatics supervisor, said the grants were needed since 50 per-cent of students in Englewood schools are considered at-risk.

The grant funds were used up during the summer swimming lessons. However, the parks and recreation department con-tinue to provide scholarships for all or part of the cost of swimming lessons to children of needy families.

Many of the children in this swim lesson class at the Englewood Recreation Center were on scholarship, thanks to the Make a Splash grant. Englewood Parks and Recreation Department received a state award for teaching at-risk children to swim. Courtesy photo

Hickenlooper unveils $24 billion budgetHealth care, education could see increasesBy Vic [email protected]

Those dreaded DMV wait times and skyrocketing college costs could see some alleviation, under Gov. John Hickenloop-er’s proposed budget for next year.

The governor detailed a $24 billion bud-get — one that he called “equal parts of optimism and prudence” — during a pre-sentation to a state legislative committee on Nov. 7.

As presented, the 2014-2015 budget in-cludes increases in total funds and reserves compared to this year, an accomplishment that Hickenlooper attributes to a state economy that has now seen four consecu-tive years of growth since emerging from a

recession.“We have now exceeded

pre-Great Recession peak employment levels and there are only a few num-bers of states that have done that,” Hickenlooper told the Legislature’s Joint Budget Committee. “This recovery puts Colorado’s economy literally among the very best in the United States.”

Hickenlooper singled out four “high pri-ority” areas that will receive special focus as part of next year’s budget: “Education, customer service, health care and public safety.”

The proposed budget would cap higher education tuition growth at 6 percent. That would halt a five-year trend that has seen an average tuition rate grow 10 percent, ac-cording to Henry Sobanet, the governor’s budget director.

The governor also proposes adding more than $40 million for college financial aid, which he called a “historic increase” for higher education funding.

“This budget request would allow more families to send kinds to college,” Hicken-looper told the committee.

The budget also proposes a $223 per-pupil increase for K-12 students next year. However, the governor acknowledged that the increase falls short of complying with Amendment 23 — the 2000 measure that reversed a trend where education funding was falling behind the rate of inflation.

The governor’s budget does not include education dollars that would have come had Amendment 66 past last week. The tax hike for education funding measure was soundly defeated on Nov. 5.

Hickenlooper also seeks to revamp the Division of Motor Vehicles, though in-creased staffing and updated computer systems, which are a part of “long-overdue

steps to modernize DMV.” The governor said that the increased funding would sig-nificantly reduce wait times for custom-ers who seek services from the often-lam-pooned state division.

Various health care departments, in-cluding Human Services and Public Health and Environment, will see a combined $618 million increase through next year’s proposed budget.

And developmentally disabled persons are expected to experience shorter waiting lists for services that include assisted hous-ing, through an additional $22 million in proposed funding.

The Department of Corrections — which Hickenlooper said is expected to deal with a 2.3 percent inmate increase — will also receive about $42 million in addi-tional funding next year, about a 6 percent budget increase, much of which will go toward a parole division makeover and a fugitive apprehension unit.

School district gets unusual plaqueBrick, band pin from Flood given to boardBy Tom [email protected]

Edward Barsocchi and Tom Brad-bury, the leaders of the company that bought Flood Middle School, present-ed the Englewood School District a special plaque that contained parts of the 1920s school building.

Barsocchi and Bradbury attended the Nov. 6 Englewood School Board

meeting to make the presentation.“We bought the site and did a lot

of research to determine the best possible use of it,” Barsocchi told the school board.

“We arranged for demolition and went through the process to have the area rezoned. Then, we were contact-ed by Wood Partners, a company with a great reputation, suggesting they construct a multi-family develop-ment on the site.”

He said his company sold the site to Wood Partners but, as a memento of Flood Middle School, they saved

one of the bricks from the building along with a band pin found during the demolition which both became part of the plaque.

“We have had a great relationship with the school district,” Barsocchi said.

“So, there is an envelope on the back of the plaque, it contains a check for $10,000 that we hope will not go into the general fund but will be put aside until there is the opportunity to use the money to do something that will make the Englewood School Dis-trict even better.”

Fire poster contest winners namedCouncil honors winners in yearly safety contestBy Tom [email protected]

City council put action on resolutions and ordi-nances temporarily on hold Nov. 4 in order to honor the winners of this year’s fire prevention poster contest.

Fire Chief Andy Marsh said this is the fifth year Englewood Fire Depart-ment has sponsored a poster contest. Firefight-ers make fire prevention presentations at the public and parochial schools in Englewood. Then teachers and students in the kinder-garten through sixth grade classes are asked to create posters about what they learned. Each class can en-ter one poster.

“This year’s theme was preventing kitchen fires,” Marsh told the council. “We had 22 classes who took

part in the poster contest. A panel of judges selected first- through third-place winners for each grade level. The classes creating the first place posters will be honored here tonight. Later, at their school, those classes also will have an ice cream party with firefight-ers.”

Each class was called

individually to the front of the council chambers to receive a plaque and shake hands with members of the city council and a group of firefighters.

This year’s winners were: St. Louis Catholic School kindergarten, Jes-sica Smith’s first-grade class at Cherrelyn, Kathy Perkins’ second-grade class at All

Souls Catholic School, Re-gina Hombs’s third-grade class at All Souls, Amanda McCullough’s and Cari Pra-do’s fourth-grade class at All Souls, Shonda Kaspar’s fifth-grade class at St. Louis Catholic School and the Cherrelyn sixth-grade class taught by Sheri Andersen, Jessica Tarkanian and Lisa Jackson.

Cherrelyn Elementry School students and their first-grade teacher Jessica Smith shake hands with members of the Englewood City Council and some Englewood firefighters as they are honored for being one of the winners in this year’s Fire Prevention Week poster contest. All six winning classes were honored at the Nov. 4 city council meeting. Photo by Tom Munds

Chatfield watershed draft plan releasedGroup’s focus is on pollutant mitigationStaff report

The group working on a vision for the future of the Chatfield watershed has developed a draft plan and wants the public to weigh in.

“The Chatfield Water-shed Plan provides an es-sential framework for pri-oritizing and protecting our local natural resources,” Casey Davenhill, executive director of the Colorado Watershed Assembly, said in a press release. “It also offers citizens educational information to help adults, kids, pet owners, farmers and others take responsible action to safeguard public

health and safety that ulti-mately affects water quality in all of our communities.”

The CWA was estab-lished in 1984 by the Colo-rado Department of Public Health and Environment in an effort to protect wa-ter quality throughout the watershed, which includes parts of Douglas and Jef-ferson counties. Member agencies include the Audu-bon Society, Denver Wa-ter, a variety of water and sanitation districts, several municipalities, the Denver Urban Water Partnership and many more.

The plan focuses on stream restoration and mitigating the effects of wildfire and erosion. It calls for diverting runoff away from areas polluted by such things as animal waste and deteriorating septic sys-tems, in an effort to protect the groundwater and the

South Platte River south of Chatfield Reservoir.

“In addition to its prima-ry purpose of flood control, (Chatfield) serves as one of many water-supply reser-voirs for the City of Den-ver and other Front Range communities, which is why it’s essential for all citizens to understand how human, animal and recreational ac-tivities affect water quality and the natural ecosystems that co-exist with one an-other,” said Julie Vlier, su-pervising engineer at Tetra Tech, the firm that conduct-ed the study for CWA. “The inclusive public process in which the watershed plan has been carefully devel-oped focuses on the practi-cal actions that will lead to significant improvements to water quality in this vital watershed.”

CWA will accept public comments through Janu-

ary, then organize them in time for a final public meet-ing in the spring. It can be viewed at www.chatfield-watershedauthority.org; click on “Watershed Plan,” then “Plan Documenta-tion.” Send comments to

crime reports

Robbers not foundEnglewood police set up

a perimeter and searched the area but didn’t find two men who robbed a business in the 4800 block of South Broadway.

The police received a call about 4:05 p.m. Nov. 2, reporting the armed rob-bery. Officers arrived and were told two men wear-ing black clothes, gloves and ski masks had robbed the store. The 32-year-old victim said the men showed handguns and demanded money.

However, the victim said one of the robbers pointed the gun at his head, pulled the trigger and only a puff of air came out. The victim said he suspected the guns were not real guns and

punched one of the robbers in the face. The robbers grabbed money from the cash register and ran out of the store.

The victim said the rob-bers appeared to be 18 to 25 years old. One robber was African-American and the other man was Hispanic.

Trespasser arrestedEnglewood police locat-

ed and arrested a 21-year-old man who tried to force his way into a woman’s apartment.

The victim called police about 10:30 p.m. Nov. 1. Police went to the address in the 3200 block of South Sherman Street and the woman told officers she was naked in her living room while she was chang-

ing her clothes when the suspect opened the front door and tried to enter her apartment.

However, the security chain on the door kept the intruder out. The victim’s boyfriend then tried to close the door but the suspect stuck his foot in the door to keep it open. The boyfriend eventually was able to close the door, secure it and call police.

Investigators located the suspect in a nearby apart-ment. The suspect’s room-mate told police the victim had smoked methamphet-amine earlier in the day.

The suspect was arrested and taken to the Arapahoe County jail. He could face charges of first-degree criminal trespassing.

Take precautions this holiday seasonThe holiday season is a beautiful time of

year that can bring people together. But it can also be a time fraught with hazards.

That’s something that can easily be overlooked amid the shopping, cooking, partying and keeping warm by the fire. But we encourage you to consider some of the following tips to make the closing weeks of 2013 memorable for the right reasons.

Snuff out fire dangerWinter residential fires — which peak

in December and January — result in 945 deaths and cause nearly $2 billion in property damage nationally in a typical year, according to the U.S. Fire Administra-tion, an entity of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It’s not quite winter yet, but recent cold snaps remind us that it’s on the way.

The administration has some advice to keep fire threats at bay, which we share below. A more detailed list of things you can do can be found at www.usfa.fema.gov/citizens/home_fire_prev/holiday-seasonal/

types of fires. Unattended cooking is the No. 1 culprit, so stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling or broiling. Wear short, close-fitting clothing, for obvious reasons. Maybe most important, stay alert at all times.

• Heating sources — including furnaces, fireplaces and space heaters — are an-other major cause of fires in the home. It is important to keep flammable materials at a safe distance, generally considered to be 3 feet or more, from a heating source. If you’re using a space heater, it is highly recommended that you plug it directly into the outlet and not use an extension cord. Also, make sure your home has a working smoke alarm and that you have an escape

plan for yourself and your family, should a fire occur.

• An estimated 240 house fires involving Christmas trees and another 150 involving holiday lights and decorations occur in a typical year in the United States. Among other things, keep your tree watered and do not overload electrical outlets with lights.

Protect your identityFor many, shopping is a holiday hobby,

one that carries a risk 0f identity theft, whether online or at the mall.

The Federal Trade Commission has some advice to help keep important, pri-vate information secure. More information can be found at www.consumer.ftc.gov/features/feature-0014-identity-theft

• Travel light. Do not carry around more credit, debit or identification cards than you really need.

• Shred receipts once you no longer need them. When at the store or mall, you might want to keep those receipts in your pocket instead of in the bag, which can be

lost or stolen.• The online realm has its own set of

dangers. Be very cautious of whom you give your personal information. Getting a new computer or phone? Wipe out all of your private information before discarding the old one. And, of course, keep your pass-words private.

Drinking? Don’t driveHoliday parties often involve alcohol.

Some people drink too much, then decide to drive, and the results can be horrific. In fact, Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that 43 percent of driving fatalities on Christmas Day are alcohol-related.

DUI enforcement generally goes up this time of year as well, so there’s an increased risk to drunken drivers’ wallets, as a convic-tion can be costly, both in court fees and higher insurance costs.

If you’re going to drink, taking a cab or using a sober designated driver are common-sense solutions to avoid hurting yourself and others.

Are you a Miley fan?With the announcement that Miley Cyrus will make a stop at Denver’s Pepsi Center

on March 4 during her upcoming tour, Colorado Community Media went to the Streets at SouthGlenn to ask: Are you a fan of the entertainer famous for Hannah Montana and, more recently, twerking?

“It’s not my type of music. Really, I’d rather she didn’t come to Denver.” — Mike Hecker, Centennial

“Miley Cyrus is OK but I wouldn’t pay to see her. She’s a little too over the top for me.” — Kate Graham, Englewood

“My kids like her songs but I’m not a fan. I guess I just don’t get her.” — Jose Pinedo, Littleton

“She’s become very trashy. My daughter used to watch Hannah Montana. But since she left Disney, she’s gone downhill fast.” — Suzanne Kisner, Centennial

question of the week

Finding balance in use of social media

So I had an interesting experience this past week regarding the use my Facebook account, or maybe I should say misuse of my account.

What I had done was accept friend requests or connect with people that I work with on a professional level. I had connected with all of my family members, friends, co-workers, business associates, and customers and really thought it was a great way to stay in touch, keep up with their activities and interests and allow them to keep up with what I was doing.

The problem was that I had some new things happening in my life, good and exciting things that I was sharing via my Facebook account. As much as I was excited about the cool things going on, ap-parently there were one or two co-workers who I was connected with on Facebook who felt compelled to stalk my activities and adventures as I posted them on Face-book and further decided to share them with others in the company.

Now there was nothing weird or un-natural about my Facebook posts, these folks just thought that they should share my life’s journey with everyone else at the office. This actually caused a little drama and unfortunately resulted in the need for me to “unfriend” all of the people I work with. And at first I was a little disap-pointed, hurt, and angry. But then as I thought more about it, perhaps Facebook is a much better application to be used with family and friends and connect or

interact with my business associates and co-workers in a different way. I already do that via LinkedIn, and since I only use LinkedIn for business reasons, it made so much more sense.

The past week has been a test for me, I do miss keeping up with some of my co-workers through Facebook, but I think my anger, hurt, and disappointment have been replaced by a true sense of balance. Facebook for friends and family members and LinkedIn for co-workers and business associates. So far it is working beautifully.

Now I understand that many people use Facebook to connect with everyone in one location and they never have issues like I experienced. And I know many people that network and get referrals through Face-book and use it as a professional selling or marketing tool.

And for those of you who have found success in using Facebook for business or professional reasons and have not had to

Time for a change? Actually, no, it’s not

Apparently we were supposed to change our clocks sometime in November. Is that correct?

Well, I haven’t changed any of mine, and I don’t plan to. Five of them changed all by themselves: the one on my televi-sion, the one on my computer, the ones on both telephones, and the one on the thermostat. That’s enough for me.

It’s a pain in the neck, and everything in the house came with a clock. Think about it: the coffeemaker, oven, microwave, two clock radios, two wall clocks, the stereo, the DVD player, and Smitty’s dog dish. The car has one too.

I have turned off some of them so I don’t have to see my life passing away on every appliance I own.

I think Fall Back and Spring Forward is a dumb concept that has no real benefit. Try to guess who and why daylight-saving time was first proposed. Here’s a multiple-choice quiz. Take your time:

1. It was first proposed by a group of Missouri farmers, who wanted an extra hour of daylight to manage their crops.

2. It was first proposed by Benjamin Franklin, who also proposed the United States adopt the turkey as the national bird.

3. It was first proposed by a New Zealand entomologist whose shift-work job gave him after-hours time to collect

insects in daylight.4. It was first proposed by former Cin-

cinnati Reds manager Sparky Anderson, because he despised day-night double-headers.

You can give the credit or the blame to George Vernon Hudson. He wanted to have an extra hour of daylight to collect insects. I have often wondered why he didn’t just leave things alone, and collect fireflies after work.

At some point — in the third grade? — I think we all realize that a day isn’t per-fectly symmetrical all year long. There’s more daylight in the summer than there is in the winter. Sooner or later we hear about something called a leap year (or a bissextile year) when an extra day is added to February.

I have a friend who was born on a Feb.

29, and when she turned 64, she claimed she was only 16, because she had only had four true birthdays.

So early on in life we fi gured out that time is adjusted, and it has been ever since ancient civilizations got it rolling.

It’s fi ne with me if February gets an extra day every fourth year, but I am good with not being expected to squirrel around with clocks otherwise.

The good thing is that it’s not criminal if you don’t.

I am sure you have all seen a row of clocks at airports that let you know what time it is where you are, and what time it is in Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Amsterdam.

I used to have a row of big clocks like that in my art offi ce. One of them dis-played local time but there was no sign that said so. The others were higgledy-piggledy, and they weren’t set apart in 60-minute intervals.

My offi ce door was always open. One day a kid stood in my doorway with exas-peration all over his face.

“Damn it,” he said. “What time is it?”On Sunday, March 9, 2014, all of the

clocks in my house will agree. That’s when the rest of you will have to change your clocks all over again. Up on stools and lad-ders. Or maybe you have high-tech clocks that will change automatically. But if that malodorous bug-eater had just kept quiet we all could have saved a lot of time.

Attitude of gratitude makes for better life By now, you’re probably thinking about

turkey (or tofurkey), pumpkin pie, and family gatherings. It’s that time when families are cooking together, laughing together, and yes, maybe even arguing at dinner together. Some might be excited about the Thanksgiving traditions, and others dreading the dinner conversa-tions about politics or life choices of our siblings. I’m one person who still believes November is a great time to remember our blessings in life.

I’m reminded of how my parents inspired me to live my life with integrity, accountability, and compassion — and … an “attitude of gratitude.” No matter how diffi cult times got (and they did), we as a family, would continue to persevere and be grateful for what was working well in our lives. We were taught that we had a choice of how we lived daily — in regret and complaint or with gratitude and optimism. In so doing we realized that by being grateful and positive, we were actu-

ally happier.Now before you start to think I might

be too “Pollyanna-ish,” hear how this has continually served me, my family, and my constituents. If you look at the statistics and research, you’ll see that optimists can outlive pessimists on an average of up to 20 years longer! And that people who have “attitudes of gratitude,” overall, do better on tests, perform better at work, and cre-ate higher incomes. They also do better in relationships both personally and profes-sionally.

So with all those fi ndings, why wouldn’t I take on a regular practice of counting my blessings and looking for the good around me? Yes, I may get sad “reality checks” occasionally in what I do as a state sena-tor. Yet even in those times, I look for that one spark of humanity, honor or integrity when I can confi rm that we are a people looking for the common good for all.

Look at the recent examples of those surviving the fl oods. We’ve seen story after story of people embracing the posi-tives rather than focusing on the horrors they’ve just experienced. Why? Because optimism and hope work to get us up in the morning, keep us going, and to seek positive solutions.

As a single mom, there were many times I could have easily given up when I couldn’t fi nd a job or pay the mortgage. Instead, my girls and I have spent many a dinner listing the things for which we were grateful. I truly believe that practice is one of the reasons we survived and conquered

the negativity and scarcity around us.As a legislator, I see the difference a

positive attitude makes in negotiating legislation — better collaboration, more thoughtful solutions due to open minds, and win-win relationships kept intact.

So what if we all spent November with an “attitude of gratitude?” Could it make a positive difference in your home, work-place, or community? Would there be any harm in trying it out? I’d be shocked if you didn’t feel happier by the end of the month!

Grateful to serve you…

Survey shows disparities in medical careBlack Coloradans report more health difficultiesBy Kristin JonesI-News at Rocky Mountain PBS

Black Coloradans see the doctor less frequently, get less preventive care and report being in worse health than other residents of the state, ac-cording to a recent health survey.

The biennial Colorado Health Access Survey, which polled 10,224 households between April 15 and July 27, provides one of the most compre-hensive snapshots of how Colorado residents experience the health-care system.

The latest survey, released Nov. 5, gives an important look at the current status of health care in the state ahead of a broad set of changes promised by the Affordable Care Act and the ex-pansion of Medicaid.

Around 14 percent of the Colora-dans surveyed said they were unin-sured, down from around 16 percent in 2011.

But these numbers — and nearly all the information collected in the phone survey — varied widely across regions, income levels, age groups and ethnic groups, highlighting dis-parities in the way Coloradans receive medical care.

Only 5.3 percent of the people liv-ing in Douglas County didn’t have any insurance, for example, while in northwest Colorado, a region that in-cludes Routt, Moffat, Rio Blanco and Jackson counties, around 25 percent were uninsured.

Hispanics were the most likely to be uninsured. Around 22 percent of Latinos polled in the latest survey said they didn’t have any insurance. Still, more Hispanics had insurance than just two years ago, when 26 percent said they were uninsured.

Roughly 12 percent of non-His-panic whites were uninsured, down from 13 percent in 2011.

By contrast, a growing number of African-Americans reported being uninsured than in the past. Roughly 20 percent of those surveyed said they were uninsured, up sharply from 14 percent in 2011. The trend marked continued erosion in the ranks of the insured in Colorado’s small African-American community. In 2009, only 12 percent of African-Americans sur-veyed said they didn’t have insurance.

At the same time, black Colora-dans were increasingly less likely to report having seen a general doctor in the previous year or to have received

preventive care. And around 19 per-cent of African-Americans in the state said they used the emergency room as their primary source of care, com-pared with 5.7 percent of the popula-tion as a whole.

Grant Jones, executive director of the Denver-based Center for African American Health, said the informa-tion was surprising.

“At a time when we’re moving to-ward greater access and coverage and quality of care,” Jones said, “it’s alarm-ing to see fewer people accessing care and seeing a doctor on a regular basis in the African-American community.”

But African-Americans weren’t skipping the doctor because they were healthier, the findings suggests. Instead, fewer black people in Colora-do reported being in excellent health than other communities, while more reported being in poor health.

Black Coloradans were more likely than others to cite cost as a barrier to care, or to say they didn’t seek an appointment because they were un-insured, according to the Colorado Health Institute’s analysis of the sur-vey. They were also more likely to say that they couldn’t get a doctor’s ap-pointment in time, had trouble get-ting transportation or couldn’t get time off work.

“There’s lots of good research that points to the benefits of having pri-mary and preventive care,” said Jeff Bontrager, director of research on

coverage and access for Colorado Health Institute.

More doctor visits means more immunization for kids, early screen-ing for cancer, mammograms and the chance to develop a relationship with a doctor, Bontrager notes. That’s the kind of health care that not only treats illness but stops it from developing in the first place.

The wide health discrepancies across the state provide an invitation to dig deeper into the causes and con-sequences, says Gretchen Hammer, executive director of the Colorado Co-alition for the Medically Underserved.

“I don’t think this gives us the an-swer of why,” says Hammer. “It directs us to engage in these communities and see what they’re experiencing.”

Jones believes that the Affordable Care Act should help improve access to care among African-Americans. But he says more should be done to focus on the communities that aren’t receiving adequate care.

“If we could make a dent in im-proving outcomes for African-Amer-icans and Latinos,” said Jones, “it would lift the status of our state in a dramatic way.”

Arapahoe uninsured figure upBy I-News Network at Rocky Mountain PBS

The 2013 Colorado Health Ac-cess Survey, a biennial survey by the Colorado Trust and Colorado Health Institute, asks Colorado resi-dents for their views on a variety of health issues. For the major ques-tions, it breaks out results by 21 re-gions. The most populous counties are self-contained regions, while others are a combination of con-tiguous counties.

The results are broken out by county.

Here is a look at what the survey found for Arapahoe County:

The percentage of uninsured residents jumped from 12 percent to 17 percent between 2011 and

2013, the survey found. As a result, the county’s uninsured rate went from lower than the state average to above the state average in two years.

The survey found that 71 percent of residents went to a dentist in the previous year, 77.5 percent visited a health-care facility and 19 percent sought treatment in an emergency room, all close to the state averages for medical visits.

About 87 percent of residents said they were in excellent health and 88 percent said they were in good mental health.

The survey found that 68.5 per-cent of residents believe the health care system met their family’s needs, but only about 45 percent felt it met the needs of most Colo-radans.

Local man carries Olympic torch Visa employee wins company lottery By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

Few people get the chance to partici-pate in an enduring custom that symbol-izes the cooperative international spirit of the Olympic Games.

Parker resident Mark Hall considers himself incredibly lucky to be randomly selected to take part in the Olympic torch relay. Hall and his wife, Denise, traveled to Russia last month as the fl ame made its way through western portions of the coun-try. For a few fl eeting moments, he was the center of attention, jogging along a historic street in St. Petersburg with fl ashbulbs erupting, people cheering and escorts al-ternately shouting instructions to either slow down or speed up.

Despite running for only 200 yards, Hall said he was able to take it in and remember every step.

“When I got to the middle of the road with (runner No.) 142 approaching, I knew that in a few seconds, I would be the only person on the face of the Earth holding the Olympic fl ame that was lit,” he said. “To me, that was an awesome moment.”

Every photo of Hall running shows him grinning from ear to ear. The locals in St. Petersburg clamored to get a photo with him, and the 50-year-old says he felt like a celebrity. He described the entire, all-expenses-paid trip as the “experience of a lifetime.”

Hall works for Visa, a major sponsor of the Olympics, and put his name into a company lottery. Each Olympic Games, three employees are randomly picked to join the torch relay. Hall, who grew up in the Littleton area and moved to Parker in 1996, was the only American in the bunch.

There is more to being a torchbearer than might appear to the eye. Every runner must attend an orientation that addresses the proper ways to receive, handle and pass off the torch. With the help of hired interpreters, organizers also “tell you how to stand, how to look — there’s a lot of lo-gistics,” he said.

Hall remembers clearly the fi rst Olym-pic Games to which he devoted his at-tention. It was 1976 and he was 13 years old. Hall was spending the summer at his grandparents’ house in New Mexico and they watched every night of the Olympics, starting with the relay.

“I remember them running into the stadium with it, and I thought, `Boy, that would be fun to do,’ but I never really thought I would have the chance,” he said.

seniors who need to be parking near their home.

However, neighbor Linda Tindall said she appreciated the proposal to do some-thing with the Shrine Club that has been sitting empty for so long. She added that she was concerned the proposal was trying to put too much in too small a space.

Neighbor Richard Sickles said he felt the artist concepts look good and he felt the project would spruce up the neighborhood.

“However, we do need to consider the impact of traffi c and the issue of parking re-lated to the project,” he said. “I do think it is a good idea and I expect it will being young

families into our community which would be a plus for Englewood.”

Brook Bell, community development planner, said Shadow Creek Homes’ fi rst step will be to submit the formal rezoning proposal to the city.

Bell said the city application must con-tain specifi c details about the project, in-cluding a traffi c study. The staff will put together a report, and the rezoning request will then be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission.

“The commission will have a public hearing on the proposal,” Bell added. “The commission will then prepare a recom-mendation and forward the rezoning re-quest to the city council. The council will hold a public hearing on the issue and it will be up to them whether or not to ap-prove the rezoning.”

“If we do consider lifting the ban, I feel we have good regulations for medical mari-juana outlets regarding distance require-ments from facilities like schools as well as the required distance between the mari-juana locations,” Jefferson said. “Those regulations should be a good place to start if the council does decide to approve allow-ing the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood.”

However, Councilmember Jill Wilson said she wasn’t sure how she felt about the outcome of the voting on Ballot Issue 2B.

“So many of the people I talked to still don’t want the recreational marijuana in-dustry in our city,” she said. “While the vote on 2B shows a lot of people do want to see outlets here, I also have talked to people who didn’t understand the question and now say they voted the wrong way. So, I still am not sure where I will stand on this issue if it comes to a vote on council.”

Linda Olson, District 2 council represen-tative, also said she wasn’t really surprised by the vote on ballot issue 2C.

“The people in my district don’t want to see the recreational marijuana stores in En-glewood and I expect they voted that way on 2B,” she said. “But the count of the votes show there are those in the city who don’t feel that way.”

She said she wants to hear the comments from other members of the city council on the issue, but she added she feels it will be hard to ignore the vote of the people.

Councilmember Bob McCaslin said he still is not convinced the recreational mari-juana industry should be allowed in Engle-

wood.“A lot of residents took time to vote on

2B and the fi nal difference between yes and no was less than 300 votes. I don’t feel that is an overwhelming statement supporting allowing the recreational marijuana indus-try in our city,” he said. “My personal beliefs are the ban should remain in place. But, if the council takes it up, I hope we take time to discuss the issue thoroughly so we can make the decision that is best for Engle-wood.”

Newly elected Councilmember Steve Yates had similar comments.

“The city council put the advisory issue on the ballot to hear from the people,” he said. “The votes have been counted and, if the council decided to consider lifting the ban on recreational marijuana that is in place, I will do my best to make sure we take the time to decide what to do. Also, if the ban is repealed, I will do my best to see that the tax money generated from recre-ational marijuana be used to fund a drug education program for our residents.”

Rick Gillit, District 2 council represen-tative, said he wants to see where the no votes came from, because everyone he has talked to in his district doesn’t want the rec-reational marijuana industry established in Englewood.

“I plan to adopt a wait-and-see atti-tude,” he said. “Part of the reason for that attitude is I understand there is some con-cern at the county that the voting won’t ac-tually count because the ballot issue was incorrectly written. I know it was only an advisory question but I have a feeling the council will be asked to consider removing the ban on the recreational marijuana in-dustry. I just don’t know right now where I stand on the issue because the majority of my constituents I have talked to still don’t want to see the ban lifted.”

‘Harvey’ slated for EnglewoodBeloved play will be staged at schoolBy Sonya [email protected]

Mary Coyle Chase’s beloved play “Har-vey” grew out of her Irish Catholic up-bringing in Denver, where she heard tales of Pookahs, imaginary beings, from her mother. A Rocky Mountain News journal-ist, she worked on her play for a number of years, until it was ready to open on Broadway in November 1944.

An immediate hit with war-weary au-diences, it won a Pulitzer Prize for drama and ran for over four years and became a favorite movie, starring James Stewart.

We are pleased to learn that director Dan Carlson is sharing it with his student actors at Englewood High School, where it will play at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 22 and 23, as the first production in the newly reno-vated Fisher auditorium. (New lighting, new sound system, new curtains and new

seats.)Chase’s tale of soft-spoken, gentle El-

wood P. Dowd and his Pookah friend Har-vey shows Dowd (Justin Wilson) happily introducing his ever-present six foot, one and a half inch tall friend Harvey (visible only to Dowd) to everyone he meets, such as Miss Johnson (Corrinne Martinez) and Mrs. Ethel Chauvenet (Shelby Moore). “Let me give you one of my cards,” he would say to new friends. “If you want to call me, use this number — the other one doesn’t work.”

His sister, Veta Louise Simmons (Kyrie Schroeder), and her daughter, Myrtle Mae (Arianna Prange-Rozet), have come to live with Elwood, and are embarrassed by

Dowd’s rabbit, especially when he brings him to a party.

They decide to have him committed to Dr. Chumley’s institution for the insane, which leads to all sorts of funny compli-cations: mistaken identity, missing peo-ple — and, at one point, missing Pookah …

A side note: Carlson said when the playwright was writing this in the 1940s, she “went to the clinic where my grand-father and his superior worked to ask for advice on the psychology things. The two doctors in the play bear some similarity to my grandfather and the other doctor.”

Jonathan Scroeder plays Dr. Chumley and Isaiah Harris is Dr. Sanderson, while Jade Bagola in Ruth Kelly R.N. and Duane Wilson is orderly Keegan Cowger. Other cast members: Betty Chumley (Sophie Vamvakis), Judge Omar Gaffney (Zane Miller) and E.J. Lofgren (R.J. Rivera).

Additional students involved with cast or crew are: Leah Crane, Alandra DeAn-drea, Kelly Erbentraut, Gabe Gravagno. Mo Montgomery, Vanessa Morado, Mara Neumann and Charlotte Verrastro.

Justin Wilson, left, plays Elwood and talks to his friend the invisible 6-foot-tall white rabbit while Myrtle Mae (Arianna Prange-Rozet), Veta (Kyrie Schroeder) and Mrs. Chauvenet (Shelby Moore) look on in disbelief. The thespians were rehearsing for “Harvey” at Englewood High School. Photos by Tom Munds

Satisfied singer in lofty crowd

Ask local vocal Chris Daniels how he’s doing three years after his bone marrow transplant, and he channels legendary soul singer James Brown: “I feel good,” Daniels told me last week during an interview be-fore his Nov. 8 induction into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame.

“Do you ever say cured? No, but I say that’s OK,” Daniels adds.

Daniels was diagnosed with a fierce form of leukemia in 2010. After receiving a “perfect match” bone marrow transplant from his sister, Jane Moffett, he set his sights on getting back on stage to perform with The Kings, his band of nearly 30 years.

Daniels, along with other Colorado mu-sicians — legendary folk singer Judy Col-lins, the Serendipity Singers and Bob Lind — was inducted during a concert at the Paramount Theatre.

“Judy was a hero to me and a lot of other musicians because she was not as oper-atic a singer as Joan (Baez),” Daniels said about his famous fellow inductee. “She had soul and grit in her beautiful voice and she was a great guitar and piano player. My mother’s favorite song was Judy’s version of `Both Sides Now’ by Joni Mitchell. It’s an amazing honor to go into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame with her.”

In between writing music and perform-ing, Daniels teaches music business at the University of Colorado-Denver as an assis-tant professor for the College of Arts and Media.

“I really wanted to get back into teach-ing,” Daniels said about his post-transplant days. “It really refocused me. I was grading papers and working with substitute teach-ers when I was in the hospital. One time I was doing lectures by Skype. (The stu-dents) are 19- or 20-year-old wise apples ... I really have great hope and enthusiasm for this generation coming out.”

For the kidneysThrough Nov. 17, DaVita, a division

of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. and a leading provider of kidney care services, partners with three Denver-area restau-rants to build awareness for kidney disease with kidney-friendly and diabetes-friendly menus in honor of November as National Diabetes Awareness Month. Each restau-rant will offer at least one appetizer, entrée and dessert that are kidney- or diabetes-friendly.

Alternative gift market keeps on givingEvent at churches helps artisans around worldBy Sonya [email protected]

World Gift Markets have grown, ac-cording to committee member Shelly DeChantal, a metro-area fiber artist who has recently moved to Littleton. Fair Trade, handmade gifts from artisans living around the world — in Laos, Africa, Bolivia and more will be available, as well as items crafted at local nonprofit workshops, such as A Little Something, the Gathering Place and Earthlinks. More than 40 nonprofit and Fair Trade groups will participate.

First Universalist Church (northeast corner) and First Plymouth Congregation-al Church (southwest corner), both at the intersection of East Hampden Avenue and South Colorado Boulevard, have joined together this year to host the World Gift Markets on Nov. 23 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and Nov. 24 (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), with an opening reception at First Universalist only from 5 to 8 p.m. Nov. 22.

The market encourages purposeful giv-ing by supporting artisans in developing countries through Fair Trade businesses such as Silks of Laos, Team Africa and Fair Trade Republica, which bring traditional crafts to the markets.

Working with indigenous craftspeople

in areas of extreme poverty, they help pre-serve traditions and provide fair wages and a healthy workplace.

All products are made by individual artisans working in small groups or coop-eratives.

Shoppers can find hand-woven silk scarves from Laos, recycled Sari table run-ners and pillows, handmade paper jour-nals from India, hand-knitted alpaca hats and gloves from Bolivia, Ugandan coffee

and local honey from Earthlinks’ Peace Garden, for example.

Earthlinks, a Denver nonprofit started 16 years ago, has grown from a day shelter to a full-fledged craft enterprise that offers productive work to homeless people. It teaches job skills and garden work, which allows for connection with the earth, DeChantal writes. In addition to honey, the Peace Garden’s bees produce beeswax for Natural Spa products.

At A Little Something in Denver, refugee women make jewelry, learning new skills and earning “a little something.” Their work will be for sale at the World Gift Markets. Courtesy photo

‘Cross Currents’ comes to gallery Show of native work gets underway Nov. 22 By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

“The wide range of expression and me-dia found in the exhibition demonstrates the futility of attempting to confi ne artists of native descent to one category,” said Ce-cily Cullen, creative director for the Center for Visual Art. “The artists of `Cross Cur-rents’ represent the spirit of innovation by blending elements found in traditional Na-tive American art with meaning and strate-gies born of 21st-century art making, add-ing unique voices to the visual language of today.”

CVA, Metropolitan State University’s very interesting, easily accessed gallery at 965 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s Arts District, offers free admission and a series of engag-ing exhibits.

“Cross Currents: Native American Forces in Contemporary Art” runs Nov. 22 through Feb. 8, featuring art by Cannu-pahanska, Nicholas Galanin, Frank Buf-falo Hyde, Merritt Johnson, Sarah Ortegon, Wendy Red Star, Sarah Sense, Marie Watt and Will Wilson.

Some of the artists will be present for an opening reception and artist’s panel on Nov. 22 from 6 to 8 p.m.

These artists from across the nation have different indigenous backgrounds and do not adhere to traditional stereo-types. What they do have in common is an exploration of identity as they move be-tween worlds, rejecting mass media’s ap-propriation of traditional symbols.

Our illustration, “Emergency Mantle for Diplomatic Security,” is a mixed media work by Merritt Johnson, who is based in East Harlem, NY. She is “of mixed Mohawk, Blackfoot and non-indigenous descent, with a BFA from Carnegie Mellon Univer-sity and an MFA from Massachusetts Col-lege of Art.”

A multidisciplinary artist working in painting, sculpture and performance, she said “through my work, I explore the con-nections and oppositions between (and

within) bodies and place.“My work with fi gures treats opulent in-

teriors and identifi able patterns, as the ma-terial for camoufl aging bodies; pointing to protection, aggression and the diffi culty of cross cultural disguise ….”

She will be at the CVA on Nov. 22 for the opening reception and artists’ panel, as will Cannupahanska, Buffalo Hyde, Galanin and Sense.

“Emergency Mantle for Diplomatic Security,” mixed media by Merritt Johnson, 2013, is included in the “Cross Currents” exhibit at Metropolitan State University’s Center for Visual Art. The show addresses complexities of cultural identity. Courtesy photo

You asked–we answered! The South Suburban Park Foundation working with Chamber Inves-tors and community members recently revised their website to provide on-line south metro community trail maps.

Available now at www.sspf.org, trail visitors can download a new, or favorite, trail route from one of the dozens within the stellar trail and greenway system right in our neighborhood. Whether you’re at home planning your next visit or on the trail deciding where to explore, you can immediately pull up a current map on your computer or mobile device.

Trail information provided includes mile-

age, elevation and a general overview of trail features and amenities. The South Suburban Parks Foundation also has included information about user safety and surrounding habitat and environmental features. Maps are available both digitally as well as a pocket-sized printed ver-sion. Click www.sspf.org for trail updates, maps (downloadable or complimentary copy), com-munity happenings, and to sign up to receive e-mail snippets.

We would like to thank the South Metro Chamber and the community members who shared their ideas to implement this new feature!

The newly designed pocket map for South Suburban trails includes everything you need to know to make your use of our park trail system a pleasure.

Chamber Investors Metropolitan State Uni-versity of Denver (MSU Denver) and Colorado Heights University (CHU) have partnered to au-thorize general studies and business core transfer credits toward a Bachelor of Science degree in one of five business disciplines: accounting, com-puter information systems, finance, management and marketing.

“This partnership focuses on removing per-ceived barriers to education, while encouraging greater diversity of ideas and backgrounds in our programs,” says Ann Murphy, dean of the MSU Denver School of Business. “Both universities feel that, through this arrangement, we can attract new students that may not otherwise consider either institution individually.”

Fifteen courses, equating to more than three semesters of classes, now are preauthorized for transfer to MSU Denver with a grade of C or higher. CHU students must meet all of MSU Denver’s standard admission and application requirements.

“Whether our students come from the local neighborhoods or from countries overseas, stu-dents can receive individualized support at CHU at the start, to assist them in getting acclimated to the college experience, and then move on to a much larger academic offering at MSU Denver,” says Doug Bjerkaas, CHU chief operating officer, adding that this partnership with MSU Denver is the first of its kind and it gives us the opportunity to provide additional options to students we strive to serve.

MSU Denver and CHU have advisers to help students get credits transferred. CHU’s next program cycle starts Oct. 28 and MSU Denver’s application deadline for the spring semester is Nov. 18.

Another benefit to the partnership allows students to live in student housing on the CHU campus at an affordable student rate, ranging from $180 to $400 a month. CHU’s dorms are just 1.5 miles from the Englewood light-rail station, providing easy access to downtown Denver and

the Auraria campus.Chamber Marketing and Visibility Consultant

Brian Bartony who oversees both educational institutions’ Chamber investment strategies is excited at this collaboration. “ Metropolitan State Univesity is leading Colorado by bringing diverse backgrounds together for higher educa-tion. Colorado Heights University has students from 49 countries predominately with English as a second language. Through this collabora-tion effort students can now get the best of both worlds. We heartily applaud partnerships such as this which will continue to strengthen Colorado’s educational system.”

An official signing ceremony to launch the partnership took place on Oct. 21 at the main administration building on the CHU campus.

‘Russian Holiday’ set for Lone Tree Candy canes for kids part of festive event By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

The 53-year-old, 85-mem-ber Denver Concert Band, led by Jacinda Bouton, has a fam-ily treat planned for its “Russian Holiday” concert at 2 p.m. Nov. 24 at Lone Tree Arts Center. San-ta and Mrs. Claus will be there to hand out candy canes to chil-

dren.The joyous music will also be

a treat, featuring Russian and American works.

Although Russians were for-bidden to celebrate religious hol-idays for 75 years after the Com-munist Revolution, they retained a holiday spirit, one learns with a bit of online research. They focused on New Year’s trees and celebrations.

However, before and again in the present, St. Nicholas is pop-ular and the Santa who appears on Nov. 24 is cast in his image

— the 11th-century Bishop of Myrna in red robes. St. Nicho-las performed miracles and the gift-giving was handled by Old Babouschka, who brought pres-ents to kids as she looked for the Christ Child. Russian Christmas is celebrated on Jan. 7, preceded by a special dinner and church service on Christmas Eve.

Festive music is important and the band’s program begins with Rimsky Korsakov’s “Proces-sion of the Nobles,” followed by “Alleluia” by Samuel Hazo and “Midnight Sleighride,” originally

by Prokofi ev.Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Nut-

cracker Suite” is beloved world-wide and it will be followed by “Christmas Sing-A-Long” by James Ployhar.

Following intermission, Pro-kofi ev’s “March, Op. 99” and the Carpenters’ “Merry Christ-mas Darling” will be followed by Larry MacTaggart’s arrangement of “Laughing All the Way.” Alfred Reed’s “Russian Christmas Mu-sic” and Leroy Anderson’s ever-popular “Sleigh Ride” wrap up this festive program.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF NOV 11, 2013

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circum-stance. Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bo-vine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Be prepared with sev-eral “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome com-plications with your carefully constructed schedule.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears. An old friend brings good news.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worth-while projects. A personal matter needs your attention.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Before you point fin-gers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) The trusted col-leagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Rely on your prac-tical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.

Four artists show work at Town HallExhibit title borrows from musical ‘Annie’By Sonya [email protected]

Four experienced artists who have ex-hibited together, with larger groups, will show their paintings at Town Hall Arts Center’s Stanton Gallery through Jan. 8.

They are Valli Thayer McDougal, Pat Mudge, Janice Hanson and Jan Archuleta. Their choice of which works to exhibit is influenced to an extent by what’s playing at Town Hall: the musical “Annie,” about the spunky little red-haired girl who graced the comics for many years. Their show title is also a song in the show: “I Think I’m Going to Like it Here.”

Two of them: Valli Thayer McDougal and Pat Mudge actually met in a water-color class in La Jolla, Calif., in 2000 and have remained friends and painting com-panions since they both moved to Denver in 2007 and 2008.

They soon formed a critique group with Susan Schmitt, meeting monthly.

Jan Archuleta and Janice Hanson be-came their friends via membership in the Colorado Watercolor Society and joined the critique group. “We have become very good friends and colleagues, supporting each other in our artistic journeys,” Mc-Dougal wrote.

She said she “discovered a passion for painting rather late in life, however `younger than Grandma Moses.’” Her contemporary acrylic painting series: “Windows on the World,” focuses on large shapes, warm colors and sometimes, “Pastiche,” small layered collages and “Opus,” watercolor and mixed media. She is an award-winning painter who belongs to the National Watercolor Society, Colo-rado Watercolor Society and International

Society of Acrylic Painters.Patricia Mudge worked in water media

for many years, but has switched to oil paints.

She lived in Great Britain and has trav-eled widely for 40 years, learning from fine artists as she traveled.

Janice Hanson is a former photogra-pher, who turned to watercolor “to en-hance the images she saw by emphasizing shapes and patterns.

She uses paint to stain these shapes with color.” She is a Signature member of the National Watercolor Society and the

Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Society.

Watercolorist Jan Archuleta, a Colo-rado native, paints from photos taken in Colorado, New Mexico and other travel locations, including Spain, Italy and Chi-na.

Memories filtered through family lens‘99 Histories’ runs at Vintage TheatreBy Sonya [email protected]

“99 Histories” by Korean dramatist Julia Cho follows a well-used and generally com-pelling design, one that draws in audience members of several age ranges — mother-daughter conflict and the histories behind it. Mothers, daughters, sisters and aunts in three generations are remembered in a sto-ry that is about a Korean-American family, but could translate to any nationality. The play runs through Nov. 16 and invites a visit from area theater lovers.

It completes the first season of the new Theatre Esprit Asia company, formed by Maria Cho and Tria Xiong after they con-nected in the all-Asian cast of Vintage The-atre’s “Joy Luck Club” in May 2012.

Skilled director Terry Dodd has brought together a polished cast and worked through the logistics of producing numer-ous scenes in the tight quarters of Vintage’s small studio theater. Acting is strong and carries the story back and forth as bits of the past surface, like pieces of a puzzle.

Eunice (Tria Xiong), a 29-year-old for-mer violin virtuoso, arrives at her mother’s home in New York City unannounced. She is single, pregnant and agitated. Her mother, Sah-Jin (Sheila Ivy-Traister), is bewildered by her behavior — she was a talented young musician, a Juilliard student, who seems to have lost her way, her will to perform. Sah-Jin, who loves her daughter blindly, but fails to understand her, voices platitudes: ”You can do anything you want — as long as you want it badly enough …”

The troubled Eunice, who has decided to have the baby and give it up for adoption, is concerned about family medical history, mental illness in particular. She finds me-mentos in the home that suggest a number of unknowns in her mother’s earlier life.

Vignettes bring these bits of the past to the stage, as well as glimpses of a young girl, played by SunHee Seo, a freshman at Thun-derRidge High School in Highlands Ranch, in her professional debut.

Under Dodd’s direction, puzzle pieces fit together by the end of Act II, although the future remains something of a question mark. As is often the case with an engaging performance, one heads out into the dark speculating about the ways a story might move forward.

Pirates have new girls hoops coachRode says team working hard to get ready for seasonBy Tom [email protected]

Thomas Rode, new Pirates girls basket-ball coach, said he has held been holding voluntary practices where he pushed the players hard, because he said he feels the athletes want to improve and become a better basketball team.

“We have been working hard on condi-tioning, and plus the girls are learning the plays I want us to use in the games,” the coach said Nov. 11. “We have been run-ning a demanding schedule and the girls are sticking with us. I’m happy because the players are sweating but they are still smil-ing.”

The Pirates began official practice Nov. 13. They have a couple weeks of practice on tap before they open the season Dec. 3 in a non-league game on the road at Denver North. The first home game of the season will be at 7 p.m. Dec. 4 against Alameda.

Home games will be on the Englewood High School campus but not in the familiar confines of the field house. That is because the field house is undergoing renovation, so all winter sports practices and games have been moved to the newly constructed structure that will become the junior high school gymnasium.

Rode graduated from the University of Wyoming and worked with teams at the school, including women’s basketball, as a graduate assistant.

He came to Colorado 15 years ago and spent eight seasons as the assistant girls basketball coach at ThunderRidge High School.

“They hired a new head coach at Thun-derRidge about the same time I heard about the search for a new head coach here at Englewood,” the Hay teacher with

10 years in the school district said. “I felt it would be a good fit for me so I applied and they decided to hire me.”

He held some voluntarily practices

and said he was excited because the girls showed a lot of heart and were willing to work hard to become a better basketball team.

“The girls are enthusiastic and willing to learn,” the new coach said. “We have been working on a number of issues including a

Creek, Valor advance in football playoffsHuskies fall to Fairview in game at BoulderBy Jim [email protected]

Cherry Creek abandoned its usual reli-ance on running the football, as the Bru-ins employed a balanced offensive scheme and produced a 49-14 second-round Class 5A playoff victory Nov. 8 over Overland in a second round Class 5A state playoff game.

Quarterback Cameron Brucker com-pleted 18 of 26 passes for 302 yards and four touchdowns as the Bruins defeated the Trail Blazers for the second time this season.

Mikey McCauley caught six of Brucker’s passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns.

Creek still ran the ball as Milo Hall rushed for 145 yards on 17 carries and scored one touchdown.

Nathan Starks gained 116 yards on 11 totes and scored a pair of TDS for the Bruins who finished with 583 yards of total offense.

Overland was held to 32 yards rushing by the Bruins defense.

Cherry Creek (10-1) moves into a quar-terfinal game against Centennial League ri-val Cherokee Trail (9-2). The game is set for 7 p.m. Nov. 15 at the Stutler Bowl.

The Cougars, last year’s Class 5A state runners-up, lost a league game to Cherry Creek Oct. 4. Cherokee Trail missed an ex-tra point with 29.3 seconds remaining and dropped a 28-27 decision to the Bruins in a game played at Legacy Stadium.

In other second-round Class 5A games played Nov. 8, defending state champion Valor Christian jumped to a 42-3 halftime

lead and cruised to a 49-17 triumph over Ralston Valley as the Eagles stretched their state playoff winning streak to 15 games.

Valor (10-1) will continue its quest for a fifth consecutive state title in a Nov. 15 quarterback game against Columbine (10-1). The 7 p.m. game will be played at Valor Stadium.

Eagles quarterback A.J. Cecil completed 19 of 23 passes for 278 yards and four touch-downs. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 121 yards and two scores and caught six passes for 110 yards and a pair of TDs.

McCaffrey, committed to play for Stan-ford, has scored 32 touchdowns this season

After opening the season 1-1 against two formidable out-of-state opponents, Valor has scored 461 points in the past nine games for an average of 51.2 points a game.

ThunderRidge (10-1), which lost to Valor in last season’s semifinals, romped to a 56-35 win over Doherty at Shea Stadium.

The Grizzlies will play Grandview (7-4) in a Nov. 16 quarterfinal game at Legacy Stadium starting at 1 p.m. ThunderRidge defeated the Wolves, 21-7, in a Sept. 13 non-league game.

Quarterback Brody Westmoreland ac-counted for seven of the Grizzlies eight touchdowns against Doherty. The 6-foot senior who going to San Diego State to play baseball rushed for 152 yards and four touchdowns and threw three scoring pass-es.

Grandview takes state 5A volleyball championship Arapahoe falls one win shy of top trophy By Jim Benton [email protected]

Arapahoe concluded its best girls volley-ball season in school history but came up a win shy of winning the state championship.

Grandview swept the Warriors 25-22, 25-12, 25-17 to win the Class 5A championship Nov. 9 in the fi nale at the Denver Coliseum.

It was the ninth appearance in a state championship match in the past 11 seasons for Grandview and the Wolves’ fourth state title. It was only the Warriors’ second trip ever to the state tournament.

“This was the best season we’ve ever had in Arapahoe history,” said Warriors coach Cara Syers. “We had one state berth prior to this and we lost in pool play. So this is our fi rst year ever of getting to the state champi-onship. Our three losses this season were to Grandview. They were a clear No. 1 it’s clear to say.”

All four semifi nal teams were from the Centennial League as Arapahoe defeated Eaglecrest 25-10, 25-21, 23-25, 25-20 to ad-vance into the fi nals. Grandview downed Cherry Creek 11-25, 29-27, 25-23, 25-18.

“We knew our schedule prepared us well,” added Syers. “We knew what we had to face against Grandview and we did for the most part. It was like the perfect storm. Everything went their way, every net serve and every free ball. It went their way for sure.”

Arapahoe, coming off a short rest after its semifi nal match, jumped ahead 8-4 in the fi rst set but failed to come up with the key points after the Wolves tied the set at 20-all.

“We didn’t get it (fi rst set) and they just rolled,” admitted Syers.

The second and third sets were not close as the top-seeded Wolves (27-2) took charge.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our girls for their heart and determination they showed all season,” said Syers. “It was a wonderful

season just a little short of where we wanted but really you don’t focus on that. You focus on this season as a journey.

Second-seeded Arapahoe ended the sea-son with a 25-3 record.

Cherry Creek (22-6) appeared to have Grandview on the ropes in the semifi nal, winning the fi rst set 25-11 and having a chance to capture the second before but lost 29-27. The Wolves prevailed in the fi nal two sets, 25-23 and 25-18.

“There was a call at the end (of the sec-

ond set) whether we hit the ball or not,” re-called Bruins coach Sally Moos. “They gave them the point and kind of gave them the momentum. We didn’t put enough balls away. They have two big outside hitters and they put a few more balls away.

“But I’m really proud of our kids. That was the third time we played them. We knew each other. We did some good things, we just didn’t have enough to win the match.”

Ponderosa (16-11), which fi nished sec-ond in the Class 5A Continental League, lost

in the Class 4A semifi nals to Air Academy. The Kadets won 26-24, 25-20 and 25-15.

“It was tremendous to be here and we were more that excited,” said Ponderosa senior Merry Hammack. “We overcame so many obstacles but we just got better. I feel bad for the loss and the end of our season but this has been a family and we are so grateful for all that supported us.”

Ponderosa wound up with a 16-11 re-cord.

Two-time defending Class 2A state champions Lutheran made it to the state championship match but the Lions were swept by undefeated and top-seeded Res-urrection Christian 25-18, 25-19 and 25-13.

“We were very pleased,” said coach Ali-cia Oates whose second-seeded Lions fi n-ished 25-3. “Resurrection was a very solid team. They have a lot of offensive power so it was hard to slow any one of them down because they would come back with some-thing else. They were really good. But even getting into that game was a huge accom-plished for these girls.

“A lot of people, even ourselves at times, underestimated what we were capable of but they always kept working hard and kept focused on what they needed to do to be successful.

‘They really surprised a lot of people and had a lot of fun doing it. Being in the state tournament is exciting and being in that Parade of Champions is a memory we will have for a lifetime.”

Continental League champion Moun-tain Vista lost 3-1 to Cherry Creek in the deciding game in Pool 4 while Castle View dropped both its matches in Pool 1 in the Class 5A opening matches. Valor Christian lost both its matches in Class 4A, Pool 3 play.

Chaparral coach T.R. Ellis was given the Pioneer Award dur-ing a special awards ceremony.Ellis has been the head coach at Chaparral for 16 seasons and won state titles in 2010 and 2011.

She also had Colorado coaching stints at Douglas County for seven seasons and for eight years at Olathe.

better understanding of the game and how to be successful.”

Rode said he has a trio of seniors, Katie Kavinsky, Elijah Daughtry and Miranda Holman, who are returning letter winners and who have stepped up to be the early team leaders.

The three seniors agree they are

learning from the new coach and they feel all the hard work will mean an im-proved Pirates girls basketball team this season.

“I think we are doing well,” Hol-man said. “The new coach is working us hard as we are learning a lot more about the game of basketball and we are learning new plays.”

Senior Daughtry agreed things are going well in the voluntary practices.

“We are working hard on condi-tioning,” she said. “We also are learn-ing a new way to play basketball. I

think we’ll be a better team. Soccer is my favorite sport but I love playing basketball too.”

Kavinsky, a three-year varsity bas-ketball player, said this season there is a better coach-to-player relationship.

“Our new coach is in charge and he pushed us hard,” she said. “That sounds hard but I know it will help us get better. The coach has pushed me to work harder and I fi nd I am im-proving how I play defense and I am learning how to score more points this season.”

Douglas County trailed only 21-17 near the end of the fi rst half and had a fi rst down at the Knights’ 1-yard line.

However, the Huskies wound up miss-ing a 31-yard fi eld goal. On its fi rst pos-session of the second half, Douglas County drove to the Fairview 6-yard line but failed to convert on fourth down.

Standout Douglas County back Trey Smith was held to 87 yards rushing but he did haul in four passes for 81 yards

and a touchdown.Lutheran gave No. 2-seed Palisade all

it could handle before dropping a 35-25 decision in a Class 3A fi rst round road playoff game Nov. 9.

The Lions (8-3) trailed only 28-25 but Palisade scored with two minutes remaining to seal the victory.
