City hosting business summit Elizabeth Garner, Brad Segal are guest speakers for upcoming free event By Tom Munds [email protected]

Speakers discussing demographics and economic development headline this year’s Englewood Business Summit be-ing held from 7:30 to 10 a.m. May 15 in Hampden Hall on the second fl oor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway.

The free event begins with a continental breakfast and an opportunity to chat with other members of the Englewood business community.

The session will open with a few com-ments from city offi cials and the speakers will be introduced.

The fi rst speaker is Elizabeth Garner, the state demographer. She will be talking about the work her offi ce does in assem-bling population and economic forecasts based on demographics and the impact changing demographics have on commu-nities.

She will be followed to the podium by Brad Segal, who is founder and president of Progressive Urban Management As-

sociates, which is a real estate economics consulting fi rm. He will talk about the real estate market and economic development.

The meeting will wrap up with a ques-tion-and-answer session with the Engle-wood City Council.

About three years ago, the Englewood City Council asked staff to investigate the possibility of holding a business summit in the city.

“We held the fi rst Englewood Business Summit in February 2013. The weather wasn’t great and we still had more than 100 people attend the event,” said Darren Hol-lingsworth, one of those organizing and staging the business summit. “We decided to hold the event in the late spring. Reser-

vations are coming in slowly but we hope to equal or exceed last year’s attendance.”

Sean Rakestraw, a commercial real es-tate broker, said he attended last year’s summit and found it helpful.

“The speakers were pretty good but the most valuable thing was getting to meet and talk with members of the Englewood business community,” the Denver man said. “The time spent was valuable because I learned about the Englewood business community and it helps me because I have clients looking for locations in the area.”

School overhaul enters phase two Construction work set to overshadow demolition By Tom Munds [email protected]

As demolition wraps up at the Engle-wood High School project, the focus shifts to phase two construction of a seventh- through 12th-grade campus.

“The demolition of the high school building is about completed,” said Dono-van Nolan, project manager. “Demolition crews are wrapping up their work as they clean up the site and truck the remainder of the debris off the site. At the same time, work on construction of the new building is already started.”

He said the demolition took a little lon-ger than expected, because as crews began

tearing down the structures they discov-ered construction in the 1950s used a lot more concrete.

“They poured thicker slabs than today and it takes longer to break up those thick slabs,” Nolan said. “The result was the de-molition recovered less steel than forecast but were able to recycle more concrete than expected.”

With the old building removed, the work now shifts to construction. The massive excavators used for demolition soon will move off the site and be replaced by earth-moving equipment preparing the ground and trucks bringing in concrete for the foundations.

Nolan said crews will spend about a month putting in the foundation along the east side of the site near the fi eld house.

“We have about 100 people working on site,” he said. “The most visible work right now is pouring the foundation. Within

about a month, crews should begin put-ting the steel for the new building in place, starting on the east and moving west.”

At the same time, the construction crews will be doing site preparation that includes bringing in tons of fi ll dirt.

“A lot of work is necessary to prepare the site for the new building,” Nolan said. “We will be bringing in about 26,000 cubic yards of fi ll dirt to bring the area around what will be the main building entrance up to street level.”

The campus transformation will cost about $40 million, which is available be-cause voters gave the district approval to sell bonds. Plans called for demolition of all the Englewood High School buildings ex-cept the auditorium and fi eld house, which will undergo major renovation.

The project goal was to replace the ex-isting school with a new, state-of-the-art facility for seventh- through 12th-graders. Also, the project included major renova-tion of Englewood Middle School, so when middle-school students move to the new campus, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School will move into the current middle-school facility.

Work began in 2012 on phase one, which included demolition of the pool, the Lowell Building and the shops to create the space for construction of what will become the

Red-light cameras still a go Measure hits brick wall upon reaching House By Vic Vela [email protected]

After a bill cruised through the Sen-ate, the House last week put the brakes on the measure, which sought to ban red-light cameras and photo radar sys-tems in Colorado.

The legislation offi cially met its de-mise during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on April 30, but the bill’s sponsor, House Speaker Mark Fer-randino, D-Denver, had pretty much accepted its defeat before it even got there.

Senate Bill 14 would have p r o h i b i t e d local govern-ments from using photo-radar technol-ogy to capture drivers who speed or run red lights. It was gutted by the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Commit-tee, which passed a stripped-down ver-sion of the bill on April 28.

The gutted version only would have allowed for a state study of the tech-nology’s public-safety effectiveness, something that Ferrandino didn’t think was necessary.

“I think we have enough studies to show that it’s not effective,” Ferrandino told the Appropriations Committee.

Ferrandino and other bill support-ers argued that photo-radar technol-ogy is a cash cow used by local govern-ments to rack up revenue, courtesy of lead-foot drivers. The House speaker also said the technology does little to prevent accidents.

“They give a sense of public safety, but don’t actually increase public safe-ty,” Ferrandino said.

But several law-enforcement rep-resentatives testifi ed otherwise during the committee process. Supporters of the technology asserted that the devic-es serve as a blessing for understaffed police agencies and that the presence of the cameras curbs bad habits on the

Lawmakers: Moderates needed to further debate Every couple of years, the Legislature los-

es familiar faces, for better or for worse.Some have to leave because of term lim-

its. But others decide on their own that gov-ernment and politics just aren’t for them any more — giving us hope that politicians aren’t entirely crazy.

It’s common for lawmakers who are leav-ing the Capitol to refl ect on the past and look toward the future. But during recent conver-sations with three outgoing female lawmak-ers, I found it interesting how concerned they were over one thing in particular — the loss of moderate representation at the Capitol.

“I think it’s very sad that three moderate women are opting out of a fourth term,” said Rep. Sue Schafer, D-Wheat Ridge.

Schafer referenced herself and Republi-can Reps. Carole Murray of Castle Rock and Cheri Gerou of Evergreen as three lawmakers whose exits will leave a void at the General Assembly.

The three women — who have served in the House for a combined 18 years — have been known to cast votes that blur party lines.

For example, Schafer sometimes bucks her party on small business issues.

“I don’t always vote with my caucus,” she said. “Sometimes we have bad bills and so do the others across the aisle.”

Murray was a co-sponsor of the Student

Success Act, a major bipartisan education bill. And she shed tears and raised eyebrows when she voted for last year’s bill that created civil unions in Colorado — joining only a few Republicans to do so.

Gerou also voted for the civil unions bill and has often crossed the aisle on legisla-tion, which sometimes ruffl es the feathers of those on the more conservative wing of the Republican Party.

Both Gerou and Murray said they are con-cerned that their party is losing touch with moderate voters. That’s been a struggle for a party that has not fared well at the state or national level in recent years.

Gerou did not hesitate when I asked whether she was concerned about the state of her party.

“Oh, absolutely,” she said. “It’ll guarantee that we’re in the minority for a really long

time. I talked to Sue Schafer and she’s con-cerned there’s no moderation, and it’s on both sides. But I think it’s your own party that bugs you the most because you expect cer-tain things from the other party, but it disap-points you when your party does things you don’t like.”

Gerou said it is social issues — such as gay marriage, debates over abortion and im-migration reform — that is hurting the GOP brand.

“I hope they stop focusing on social issues and get back to doing what Republicans have always done well, and that’s represent busi-ness,” Gerou said. “I wish the social issues would go away.

“I look back at someone like Barry Gold-water, when they asked him his thoughts on gays in the military. And he said, `I don’t care. If they want to serve our country, let them serve our country.’ That’s the type of Republi-can I like to be around.”

Murray agrees that social issues have hurt the party and have turned off many voters, including many Republicans.

“It’s particularly diffi cult to the old-line, establishment Republicans who have not been accustomed to the social issues being brought into the conservation,” Murray said. “And the new Republicans, too. All of the young interns and aides at the Capitol have a

hard time relating to the hard stance that we take on certain issues.

“I’ve had many friends who feel like they don’t recognize the party and that gives me pause. Because, as a party, we can’t be push-ing people away. We need to fi nd out a way to bring people in.”

Murray said that Republicans should do more to reach out to Hispanics, who are growing in population and in political strength.

“If we don’t bring them in — and soon — we may never win again,” Murray said.

Gerou feels the same way and hopes that the party gets back on track by focusing on economic issues and not social ones.

But don’t expect Gerou to change parties any time soon.

“I’m not going to become a Democrat; I just can’t,” Gerou said while laughing. “I couldn’t do that to my grandparents. It’s like when I was younger, I couldn’t live with a guy because if my grandmother ever found out, I couldn’t face it.

“I’m 58 years old and my grandmother still controls my life.”

After-prom draws a crowd All-night event features games, activities and food By Tom Munds [email protected]

Most of the 155 students made quick stops to trade fancy dresses and tuxedoes for the more appro-priate leisurely attire for the May 4 Englewood High School after-prom event at the Englewood Rec-reation Center.

Each arrival checked in at the entry desk and received a wrist-band along with the warning that, if he or she decided to leave, they would not be allowed back into af-ter prom.

A wide variety of activities were available. There were infl atables in the gymnasium, wallyball in the courts and a full counter of food in one of the classrooms.

The pool was popular. Even many young ladies who had spent hours in the beauty shop had their hairdo altered as they headed for the cool water of the pool.

The energy level was high early. Mia Miller rushed to the infl atable slide. She smiled each time she made one of her several trips up and down the slide.

Just across the gym fl oor, An-thony Rosales and Gustavo Dal-colle preferred to challenge each other physically as they donned sumo suits so they could repeat-edly crash into each other. Dal-colle fi nally took Rosales to the mat for a “pin.”

Junior Phillip Jones said the prom was OK but it was less fun than he expected because he

didn’t like the music.“I still had a pretty good time

and so we came to after prom too,” he said. “After-prom is a lot of fun. I like hanging out with my friends, going swimming and just having a good time. The food is good too.”

After-prom has been held at EHS for more than 25 years but al-most didn’t happen this year.

In early April, Englewood High School prepared to cancel after-prom when no volunteers stepped up to make the event happen. The school sent a letter announcing the cancellation, which triggered a quick response from people who stepped forward to make sure the event went on as scheduled.

“When I got the letter, I called several people I know, got their support and then called the school and said we would try to make after-prom happen,” Kelly Penn-Prien said as she worked to organize the event.

Penn-Prien said she attended after-prom when she was an En-glewood High School student, the event was fun and she said her motivation to help put on after-prom was the concern that, if it were canceled this year, it would never happen again.

Organizers of previous es-timate it takes about $2,500 to put on an after-prom event for about 300 kids. There were always games, activities and plenty of food. Once there, students can’t leave and the event usually shuts down about 5 a.m.

Penn-Prien said the response has been great. She said, in ad-dition to other items like food, organizers have had individuals donate money and businesses do-nate items that will be given away as door prizes.

Search firm selected for city manager huntCouncil selects company to help with processBy Tom [email protected]

Englewood City Council listened to presentations by the three finalists be-fore voting May 5 to have Slavin Manage-ment Consultants assist in the search for a new city manager. The city appropri-ated up to $25,000 for the consultant’s services.

Selecting a search firm is part of the process the council plans to locate and hire a new city manager to fill the vacan-cy that will be created when current City Manager Gary Sears retires in September.

The city received seven proposals from firms interested in conducting the search for candidates to be the new city manager.

Councilmembers received and evalu-ated the seven proposals and selected three finalists, Slavin Management Consultants, the Waters Management Consulting and Affion Public. Represen-tatives of each of the firms made presen-tations to the council at the May 5 study session.

Councilmembers discussed the pre-sentations and talked about the pros and cons of each firm. Eventually, the con-sensus of the majority of councilmem-bers was to hire Slavin Management Consultants. In the council meeting that followed the study session, councilmem-bers voted unanimously to hire Slavin Management Consultants.

Slavin Management Consultants is a national recruiting firm. Paul Wenbert, western regional manager, made the company presentation to the council in the study session. He said the company has made 800 successful management searches and 250 of those successful searches were to fill city manager posi-tions.

Wenbert said he would be the prima-ry consultant and company owner Bob Slavin would be part of the team working on the Englewood city manager search.

He said the goal is to have the city of-fer an employment contract to the se-lected candidate in about 90 days.

He said the first step is meeting with the all aspects of the community to cre-ate a recruiting profile document.

“The profile document will help us advertise the position,” Wenbert said. “We then will select 10 to 15 top candi-dates and eventually reduce the field to three to five candidates the council can invite in for public interviews.”

Project links rail, bus, shuttle servicesBy Jane [email protected]

The transit hub of RTD’s reno-vated Union Station, which merges light rail, commuter rail, Amtrak lines, buses, taxis, shuttles, bicycles and pedestrians into a central ac-cess point in downtown Denver, opens May 9.

Its most visible element is a white canopy reminiscent of Denver Inter-national Airport’s, under which both Amtrak and future commuter rail line to DIA will serve passengers.

The East Rail Line will transport passengers from Union Station to the airport by commuter rail, a method that is faster and makes fewer stops than light rail.

Set to begin service in 2016, those trains will depart every 15 minutes for the 35-minute trip to DIA.

South suburban residents won’t need to travel downtown to take the East Line.

They will instead to be able to take the light rail on a future Z Line route from Lone Tree’s Lincoln Sta-tion to an East Line connection at Peoria and Interstate 70.

The ride from Lone Tree to DIA will take about an hour and 20 min-utes. Cost hasn’t yet been estab-lished.

Another highlight of the tran-sit center is a 22-bay underground bus concourse, which extends from just east of the light rail stop to the Union Station building.

It replaces the Market Street bus station.

The historic Union Station build-ing and hotel, adjacent to the transit hub, also is under redevelopment with a planned July completion. It will include about 22,000 square feet of ground-floor shops and res-taurants, a public common area and great hall, large outdoor plaza and 110 hotel rooms.

The transit center is part of RTD’s FasTracks project. That plan also in-cludes a 2.3-mile extension of the southeast light rail line, from its cur-rent end point at Lincoln Avenue to the east side of Interstate 25 at RidgeGate Parkway.

Negotiations continue to acceler-ate the construction of that exten-sion.

Friends o� er style with a side of magic Salon owners keep Littleton Spellbound’ By Jennifer Smith [email protected]

Lois McKinney and Bridget Castillo say they just want to help people become beautiful souls from the inside out, and they don’t worry about people who call them kooks.

“We’re not going to eat your babies or sacrifi ce your pets,” said McKinney on April 29.

The two are both proud Wiccans, and recently blended their spirituality with their other passion to open Spellbound Metaphysical Salon & Boutique at 1289 W. Littleton Blvd.

“I’ve had different professional experi-ences where I was always trying to please the masses, and now I’m not trying to please anybody but myself,” said Castillo.

Wicca is a pagan religion that often in-tertwines magic and a belief in both gods and goddesses around respect for the earth and natural forces, with a “do no harm” core value.

To that end, the boutique sells charms, herb and oils alongside Paul Mitchell hair products. Visitors can request a haircut followed by a tarot reading, or highlights followed by white magic to banish “astral nasties.” They can rid your eyebrows of wayward strands, or your house of way-ward spirits. The fragrance of incense ne-

gates the pungent odor of perm solution, and “witchballs” glisten in the sunlight waiting to capture any negative energy that walks through the door.

“People come in and say they’re stag-nating in life or working toward a new job, and we give them the tools to take home to work on where they want to go in bettering their lives,” said Castillo, often in the form of anointed candles.

“My candles have gotten lots of people pregnant,” McKinney said with a laugh.

When the two met several years ago, Castillo had already established her spiri-tual path, but McKinney was searching.

“I didn’t have much spirituality except for what I grew up with, and it wasn’t quite right for me,” she said. “Bridget was my mentor. Like energy attracts like energy, so the two of us became a strong force.”

Once they realized that, they moved out of the 180-square-foot booth they rented together and set forth becoming the ethe-real entrepreneurs they are today. They had both worked in Littleton before and knew that’s where they wanted to be.

“We liked the closeness of everybody, the community feel, the diversity,” said Castillo. “Nobody’s alone, and there’s a willingness to be involved and help each other.”

McKinney added that being in a diverse neighborhood helped them compensate for a few customers they lost who weren’t comfortable with their new venture.

“Being in a neighborhood with real people, we get walk-ins because of who we are,” she said. “Some people make us

all out to be kooks, but we’re just normal people that want to live our lives, love our families and help people.”

They want their neighbors to know that they hope to serve the diversity, not just like-minded folks. “We welcome all types of people, all faiths, all walks of life, and we hope the community will be as welcoming to us,” said Castillo.

Although they opened in January, they saved their grand opening celebration for

one of Wicca’s most important holidays. Beltane, what most people know as May Day, celebrates the halfway point between spring and summer, representing a time of maturing growth, fertility and endurance — fi tting wishes for a new business.

“We just want people to be drawn to us and just be comfortable when they walk in,” said McKinney.

Epic event promotes spring cleaning Annual project collects items uncovered in closets and garages By Tom Munds [email protected]

Traditional spring cleaning seems to uncover a variety of unneeded or unwanted items and the Epic Spring Cleaning Event provides the opportu-nity to donate the items to local chari-table organizations.

This is the fi fth year for Epic Spring Cleaning. The 2014 event will be held

from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. May 17 with collection trucks at Aspen Grove Shop-ping Center, 7201 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton and at AutoLab at 4000 S. Broadway in Englewood.

Volunteers will be on hand at both locations to accept donations of gen-tly-used clothes and household items and furniture for donation to the arc Thrift Stores and Inter-Faith Commu-nity Services. All donations are tax de-ductible.

The arc Thrift is a nonprofi t group of 45 thrift stores in the Front Range area. The organization is an advocate for individuals with disabilities and 150 of the 200 arc employees are dis-abled.

Inter-Faith was founded in 1964 to

provide assistance to the working poor, indigent and home-bound seniors in the south metro area. The organization helps needy individuals and families with food, clothing and assistance se-curing housing. Inter-Faith also offers a variety of programs designed to help individuals become self- suffi cient.

The organizations receive many requests for food and for toiletries so those items will also be accepted for the charity.

However, the event will not accept paint, motor oil or chemicals.

Both sites are staffed by volunteers and to volunteer please call 720-879-2416. Residents can donate large items and pickup can be scheduled by call-ing arc Thrift at 1-800-283-2721.

Apartment building gains approval Old plans updated with smaller units By Jennifer Smith [email protected]

A fi ve-story apartment building approved seven years ago will fi nally move forward, though at a slightly higher density than planned before. Plans call for offering the units for sale.

“Frankly, if we had proceeded in 2007, this project would probably have been owned by the bank,” said David Berton, a principal at Rapport Holdings. His company owns the 0.7-acre property on Rapp Street, directly east of McDonald’s and just north of Arapahoe Community College.

The site is currently three single-family lots, though the northernmost house burned to the ground last May, displacing the three young adults who shared the home.

Littleton Fire Rescue determined the cause to be combustible bedding too close to a portable heater in a bed-room.

Littleton’s planning board ap-proved the new plan on April 28. It calls for 68 apartments, up from the original 52, plus fi ve live/work units on the lower fl oor. Nothing else from

the original plan will change; the ar-chitects achieved the higher density by reducing the average size of each unit from 1,473 square feet to 1,110.

Despite state-level regulatory chal-lenges discouraging developers from building for-sale multifamily projects, Berton says that’s what he intends to do. He expects them to sell for be-tween $200,000 and $450,000, mostly to young professionals and empty nesters.

“People who want the Littleton ad-dress, but they want to be able to trav-el and those types of things,” he said.

People perhaps like Courtney Hunsicker, who recently graduated from law school and lives downtown now.

“I decided to live down here be-cause I still wanted that urban feel, but close to light rail and transit,” she told the board. “I know this is the type of place I’d like to live.”

She and one other neighbor were in favor, but four people spoke against the project during the public hearing. Two who live on Curtice Street direct-ly behind it said the height, capped at 66 feet, would block their views. But since that was already approved, it’s a moot point.

“When it was approved in 2007, there weren’t too many residents liv-ing on Curtice, it was mostly rentals,” said John Gerkin. “Now we are re-sponsible citizens that are concerned

about our lifestyles.”He didn’t buy the developer’s study

that showed the project would add just 42 vehicle trips in the neighbor-hood during morning rush hour and 78 in the evening, or that 1.5 parking spaces per unit would be enough.

Traffi c engineer Steve Tuttle said the proximity to light rail, within a quarter mile of the downtown sta-tion, would reduce such impacts by as much as 65 percent. There’s also easy access to the trail system and down-town.

“If there’s anywhere in Littleton downtown that will accept a more in-tense use, this is the area,” said Randy Duzan, board chair. “It’s right by ACC, and it’s a block away from Santa Fe.”

It’s long been a goal of city coun-cil to increase connections between downtown and the college, and Cindy Somers, ACC’s vice president of ad-ministrative services, told the board its administrators fully support the project.

“It’s certainly a signifi cant im-provement over what’s residing in that space now,” she said.

Only Carrie Moore and Karina El-rod voted against the measure, with the other board members saying it’s the right project in the right place.

“Our downtown needs people, and I think this is going to bring the right kind of people that will bring vibrancy to downtown,” said Andrew Graham.

Medical marijuana not approved for PTSDTwo Democrats join Republicans in killing bill, 6-5, in committeeBy Vic [email protected]

A bill that would have allowed mari-juana to be used as a treatment option for post-traumatic stress disorder failed in a House committee on April 28.

House Bill 1364 would have added PTSD to a list of eight other conditions that qualify sufferers for medical marijuana treatment.

Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, a bill sponsor, argued that those with PTSD should be given the option to consult with doctors as to whether medical pot is a vi-able treatment option for their condition.

That’s better practice than sufferers having to resort to figuring out their best pot pathway through retail pot shop clerks, he said.

“Should it be the bud-tenders on Colfax or the doctors at Kaiser?” Singer asked the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

Colorado voters, through the 2000 pas-sage of Amendment 20, approved eight conditions that qualify for medical pot treatment, including cancer, glaucoma and AIDS.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has the ability to add other conditions to that list, but it has not done so since Amendment 20 passed.

Several witnesses testified that marijua-na has helped alleviate their PTSD symp-toms, including military veterans who served in conflicts and wars, ranging from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan.

“Cannabis made it to where I don’t have to take any of these prescription drugs,” testified Sean Azzariti, an Iraq War veteran. “It saved my life.”

Singer said that it should be up to doc-tors to decide what is best for their patients

and cited high suicide rates among veter-ans as reason enough to keep all treatment options open.

“I don’t think that every veteran who commits suicide… could have used medi-cal marijuana and it would have saved their life. I don’t believe that for a second,” Singer said. “But I do believe that some of them might have been able to use this as a tool in their toolbox to have that conver-sation with their doctor to make the right decisions for them.”

Key opposition testimony came from Dr. Larry Wolk, CDPHE’s chief medical of-ficer.

Wolk said that CDPHE already has a process in place that allows the depart-ment to add health conditions to the med-ical marijuana list. Wolk said the depart-ment has considered the addition of PTSD to the list twice before and rejected it both times.

Wolk also said that there isn’t enough research to show that marijuana is an ef-fective treatment for PTSD.

Some committee members had legal concerns over the bill, with some wonder-ing whether the legislation would be akin to lawmakers taking it upon themselves to changing Amendment 20 language in the state Constitution.

“I don’t always think the right decision for us to make is, `Well, let’s just let the courts decide,’” said Rep. Tim Dore, R-Eliz-abeth, who opposed the bill.

Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-Littleton, said her opposition to the bill was personal. She said that marijuana use on the part of her child led to addictions to more dangerous drugs.

“My personal life story is one that has shown marijuana to absolutely be a gate-way drug and I watched it become a gate-way drug from marijuana to Oxycontin to heroin for someone I love with all of my heart,” Conti said.

The bill died following a 6-5 vote. Two Democrats — Reps. Jeanne Labuda and Angela Williams, both of Denver — joined all four Republican committee members in voting against the bill.

Oil-gas study measure diesBill would have required probe of health impactsBy Vic [email protected]

A bill that would have created a study of the health impacts of oil and gas drilling on Front Range residents died in a state Senate committee on April 29.

The bill — which increased in cost over time — was killed in the Senate Appropria-tions Committee, following a 5-2 vote.

Democratic Sens. Pat Steadman of Den-ver and Mary Hodge of Brighton joined all Republican committee members in voting against the measure.

A dejected bill sponsor expressed dis-appointment after her effort failed.

“I think the people’s voices have been silenced,” said Rep. Joann Ginal, D-Fort Collins.

House Bill 1297 would have required the state to conduct a three-year health impact study on residents living in the Front Range counties of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Larimer and Weld.

The study would have included the sur-veying of residents living in those areas and the possible review of medical records.

The effort was a response to concerns over the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” — the practice of mixing of water, sand and chemicals and blasting the mixture deep into the ground to crack porous rock and free up oil and gas.

The study would have focused on coun-ties that include communities that have

sought to either ban or limit the practice of fracking over the last few years.

Ginal and other bill supporters said a study would provide both a health and ed-ucational benefit for Coloradans who want to know more about the impacts of the controversial oil and gas industry money-maker and job creator.

However, the bill received only a single Republican vote in the House. Some legis-lators and oil and gas industry leaders op-posed the effort for reasons that included concerns that the study would be slanted toward the viewpoint of fracking oppo-nents.

Money was also an issue. Originally, the bill sought only to include Adams, Boul-der, Larimer and Weld counties as part of the study. But a House committee added Arapahoe County and the City and County of Broomfield to that list.

The additions increased the study’s cost to about $700,000 — something that con-cerned Ginal before it even got to the Sen-ate Appropriations Committee.

Senate President Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said she did not know if cost or other factors led to the bill’s defeat. Carroll did say that she supported the bill and that “it’s a basic responsibility (of the state)” to look out for the health of its residents.

“I think sooner or later it behooves all of us to get a credible and independent study,” Carroll said. “And, from the oil and gas perspective, if (fracking) is as safe as they say, then they should have credible independent studies that confirm that.”

Ginal said she intends to revive the ef-fort next year.

6-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

No go best signal for red-light billA bill to ban red-light cameras and

photo-radar systems inspired healthy debate in the Statehouse but ultimately did not get the green light, and we’re fine with the call.

Further we agree with one of our local legislators, Rep. Max Tyler, D-Lakewood, who opposed a late amendment to the re-spective bill to fund a study on red-light camera effectiveness. Funds that would go toward a study, could perhaps go to an-other CDOT bridge, Tyler noted.

No pressing need for more research. Both sides have sources — on one hand that the technology improves public safe-ty and on the other hand the use of the technology actually has the reverse effect, and further that the practices function more as a cash cow than a tool targeting public safety.

It’s worth noting that this proposed and oft-discussed ban on red-light cam-eras and photo radar got a strong push at the Legislature this year with bipartisan support. Rep. Scott Renfroe, R-Greeley and House Speaker Mark Ferrandino, D-Denver, were among those who gave ar-guments that the cash-producing systems do not improve safety.

But with every urging to do away with the cameras, plenty of legislators and oth-ers stepped forward to say the technology comes to the aid of public safety in their

neck of the woods. We value these local voices, and support local control of the technology.

Technology and the automation of tasks that would otherwise be carried out by people increases efficiency and can of-ten in practice be much more consistent and comprehensive. To that aim, earlier in the session, we reported Jessie Ulibarri of Commerce City saying technology is espe-cially vital in areas where “human man-agement is impossible.”

But that’s the trick and where some controversy lies.

We recognize a healthy mistrust of the mounted cameras keeping tabs on driv-ers. People wonder if existing regulations governing the the use of the cameras is enough. Further, are yellow lights short-ened to bring in more revenue or does

common sense balanced with guidelines and regulations prevail? And are cam-era practices going to instant-replay pro sports heights with each line drawn hard and fast and little left in the way discre-tion?

For now, we are glad the practices re-main in local control. The debate has been eye-opening for many and should encour-age cities to make sure red-light cameras and photo radar systems are being used in a way that is truly focused on public safety and efficiency.

With each advance in technology comes many questions about ethics and appropriate use. We are in the thick of the increasing prevalence of lenses that watch everything everywhere. In this case, better to refine it — the where, when and how of it all — rather than switch it off.

our view

One family makes two very different people

Do you have a sister or a brother that you love very much? With whom you have almost nothing in common? And some-times you think one of you was adopted?

This is dedicated to Cindy.I can start with cats and dogs. By now

you know that I found my dachshund at a no-kill animal shelter. The best: MaxFund.

Cindy has found a succession of cats in her back yard. Cats know when there is a vacancy. I don’t think my sister has ever paid for a cat. One just shows up when the previous occupant has taken leave.

Cindy is a retired grade-school teacher who is still teaching. She is still at the same school in Sterling Heights, Mich., where her teaching career began, over 40 years ago. Now she mostly subs and fills in wher-ever they need her, and that includes hall-way bulletin board duty.

I taught at four colleges and universi-ties in three states. Neither one of us could do what the other one did. The thought of having a classroom full of kindergartners or third-graders, her most common teach-ing assignments, leaves me with a dry tongue and the shakes.

Cindy is just about the nicest person I know. She is kind and generous. She is lov-ing and caring. She rarely has an unkind word to say, although we are both con-temptuous of Brent Musburger. Who isn’t?

When our father and mother were in their final glide patterns, Cindy tirelessly took care of both of them, and even bathed our mother.

Words that could describe me — crotchety, grouchy, crabby, cynical, sarcas-tic — could never be used to describe her. This is where the adoption angle comes in. Where she is pleasant and nice, I am or-nery and sullen.

We had exactly the same childhood ex-periences, an equal amount of love and at-tention (almost), but we are night and day. How does that happen?

Our father came back from the war af-ter 30 missions. If the house caught on fire I would take out two things: Smitty and my father’s flight jacket. I can see it from where I am sitting, and it chokes me up every time I see it, knowing where it has been.

There is a B-17 Flying Fortress that tours the country now. I went to see it at a regional airport a few years ago. And sat nearby and cried.

Dad came back and started a family with his high school sweetheart. Cindy is 14 months older than I am. They really did it with her. Album after album, bronzed baby shoes, and a cedar chest full of things she had touched.

I think there is one black-and-white picture of me at that age, and it’s somewhat out of focus. I think I was in the bathtub, or the kitchen sink.

Cindy is deliberate, conservative, she reads and follows directions and instruc-tions, does exactly what she is told, never tries to be abstract, or humorous, or par-ticularly clever. My opposites.

One day a couple of years ago we were in a grocery store together to buy dinner, and Cindy decided she wanted iced tea. So she went to the aisle where iced teas in bot-tles and cans were displayed. I left her and finished all of my shopping. I came back and she was still standing there, in front of the bottles and cans of iced tea,

I left her again and drove the car to an IHOP in Ypsilanti and had breakfast (scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast, oh, and orange juice), came back and she was still standing there. So I start-ed a countdown: 10-9-8-7, telling her that I was going to choose one for her if she didn’t choose one right away.

That evening she enjoyed the unsweet-ened tea that I had chosen for her. With love.

Don’t wait for future, create your future

How cool would it be to have a crystal ball? I mean the real deal — the ability to actually see into the future. Do you fall into the category of people who wish they could see the future, or are you in the group that prefers to see life as a journey and the more mystery and adventure the better?

In some of the responses that I have re-ceived over the years referring to one of my columns, some of our local readers actu-ally state that they wish they had a crystal ball so they could see what would happen if they actually practiced some of the ideas, strategies, or tactics that I have written about.

What are some of those things? There’s goal-setting, staying focused, having a positive attitude, encouraging others, liv-ing with hope, building better and stronger relationships, living and working with pas-sion and purpose, and working on mind, body and spirit.

Well I can share with you, beyond any shadow of a doubt, and I do not need a crystal ball to tell me what would happen … if any one of us, if all of us, applied even just one of the concepts mentioned above … life would be better at some level and in some way.

What happens is, we look at things that appear on the list above, we have the best of intentions to act upon them, and then we let our cynicism and doubt take over where our hearts, minds and bodies should begin. We fall into a negative self-talk pat-tern instead of a positive self-talk action-oriented empowerment state.

You know how it sounds: “That’s all just

fluff,” or “That stuff may work for others but it will never ever work for me.” Maybe it sounds more like, “My life is just fine, I don’t need to change anything, but you know Bob or Charlie or Mary or Beth, they could sure stand to change a few things.”

Pretend with me for a minute that we all had a crystal ball. And each and every one of us could look into our future, whether it’s two weeks from now, six months from now or a year from now. And we had actu-ally applied and committed to one or more of the items mentioned above like setting goals, staying focused, living with a posi-tive attitude, being a source of encourage-ment, living with hope, working hard on our relationships, becoming re-energized with passion and purpose, and becoming well-rounded in mind, body, and spirit.

I know many of you through your emails and letters, but I certainly cannot claim to know all of you. But I would bet that if we had that crystal ball, and the commitment was applied in any of the areas, what we would see is success, achievement, love, laughter, better health, stronger faith, and

Innovators keep state economy expanding Colorado is known worldwide for our

endless opportunities for outdoor recre-ation, our 300-plus days of sunshine a year, and even our diversity of craft brewers. We have also developed a solid reputation as a hub for invention and innovation. Colo-rado companies have an entrepreneurial spirit that is driving new ideas, spurring economic growth, and creating jobs.

Recently, we saw some of this fi rsthand, touring companies across the state that are thriving because of their innovative prod-ucts and solutions. From Grand Junction to Fort Collins, Colorado companies are fo-cused on inventing the future.

In Boulder, we met with the owners of Newton Running. Their advanced sole technology is propelling both runners — and the Newton business — faster and far-ther. In Grand Junction, we visited Tim and Christy Fry, who moved here from Ohio to invest in Colorado-developed technol-ogy because of our great quality of life and business-friendly climate. Their company, Mountain Racing Products, makes top-of-the-line biking components that are shipped all over the world, and they em-

ploy nearly two dozen Coloradans. We also stopped by Western Slope Industries, the only U.S.-based manufacturer of large, in-dustrial machines that fold and seal pack-ages for food products. They employ more than 60 people in their 45,000-square-foot facility.

In Fort Collins and Loveland, we toured the VanDyne SuperTurbo Headquarters and the engines lab where the company tests its equipment. VanDyne’s patented SuperTurbo engine combines a turbo-charger and a transmission into one device, improving fuel effi ciency and horsepower while reducing emissions. The SuperTurbo can power the likes of city buses, Caterpillar

bulldozers, and John Deere tractors.Finally, in Park Hill, we saw Never

Summer Industries turn blocks of locally sourced wood into high-quality skis and snowboards. Never Summer is one of only a handful of companies still manufacturing snowboards in the United States, produc-ing more than 240 snowboards a day.

All of these companies are building suc-cess through innovation. And one thing almost all of them have in common is pat-ented technology. You may not know it, but that convex and concave design on your Never Summer snowboard is original, pat-ented technology. And that distinctive pop sensation you feel on the balls of your feet when you’re running in a Newton shoe? That’s patented too. So is Western Slope Industries’ machine process that makes the cardboard packaging that holds your morning orange juice.

The patent process is an important part of our state’s economy, helping inventors and entrepreneurs build successful busi-nesses, generate revenue, and create new jobs.

That’s one of the reasons we coordinated

a statewide effort to bring a satellite patent offi ce right here to Colorado. The opening of the United States Patent and Trademark Satellite Offi ce this summer in Denver — one of only four cities nationwide se-lected to house a satellite offi ce — benefi ts fi rms like these by providing an improved and more accessible patent process. That means reduced review times for patent ap-plications, reduced costs for patent fi lers, and more access to U.S. Patent and Trade-mark Offi ce resources throughout the pro-cess. Plus, it will create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs and add roughly $440 mil-lion in economic activity to our state.

Colorado’s deeply embedded culture of innovation has established our state as a destination for inventors, innovators, and new ideas. The opening of the USPTO sat-ellite facility solidifi es this reputation. From energy-effi cient engines to high-tech run-ning shoes, companies throughout our state are creating a bright future and pro-pelling our state forward.

News � ash: CCM doesn’t need a fake award Paying for awards? � ere’s just no honor in that By Jennifer Smith [email protected]

The fi rst clue something was fi shy was when Colorado Community Media got an email saying “Castle Rock News-Press has been selected for the 2014 Best of Littleton Awards for Publishers.”

While the Castle Rock News-Press is indeed a CCM paper, Littleton residents might wonder why a Littleton paper wasn’t selected by a “local” organization for such a prestigious-sounding award. So how did that happen?

“All 2014 Awards are issued based on the location of your corporate headquar-ters even though your service area may extend beyond that town,” reads the Lit-tleton Business Awards website, to which the email invited us.

OK, but CCM is headquartered in High-lands Ranch these days. Perhaps just an innocent mix-up? CRNP is a great paper, and it does win lots of awards from the

Colorado Press Association. Might as well add another, right?

So how do we get it?“Most business organizations charge

their members annual dues and with that money sponsor an annual award pro-gram,” reads the website. “The Best of Littleton Award Program does not charge membership dues and as an award recipi-ent, there is no membership requirement. We simply ask each award recipient to pay for the cost of their awards.”

Wait, what? Pay for it? How much? Well, there are three options ranging from $79.99 to $199.99.

Can’t we just get a piece of paper like the CPA hands out? I mean, how much could an award from a company we’ve never heard of, judged by nameless peo-ple we’ve never met, with an 888 phone number, accompanied by a lame press re-lease (that part’s free), possibly be worth?

Absolutely nothing, say real local busi-ness leaders.

“We have had had the ‘honor’ of receiv-ing this award several times over the past fi ve years,” Terry McElhaney, manager of communications for the South Metro

Denver Chamber of Commerce, said with a laugh.

“Yes, it is a marketing scam to sell their ‘awards.’ I can see businesses that are ea-ger for any type of award to fall for this ap-proach just so they can display a crystal trophy, even if it is for money. The website doesn’t have any qualifi cations as to how they determine their winners, and I’m as-suming they go through social media sites and pick their targets. Award programs using actual customer input such as ‘Best of the Best,’ which CCM does, are much more legitimate.”

As are the chamber’s Annual Small Business Leadership of the Year Awards, always eagerly anticipated and attended by actual people you’ve probably heard of, if not met personally.

The company has duplicate websites set up for cities across the United States, despite its claim that: “The Littleton Award Program was established to recognize the best of local businesses in our commu-nity. Our organization works exclusively with local business owners, trade groups, professional associations and other busi-ness advertising and marketing groups.”

The award is not affi liated with the City of Littleton or any local organization.

“I’ve never heard of it, and it seems odd that the Castle Rock News-Press would re-ceive a Best of Littleton Award,” said Kelli Narde, the city’s spokeswoman.

Businesses looking for legitimate ac-claim would do well to align themselves with their local chamber or merchants as-sociation.

greater happiness. And I can tell you once again, I would not need the crystal ball to tell you that at some level there would be improvement, signifi cant improvement.

So what about you, are you waiting for the crystal ball to tell you what “might” happen if you made some changes in your

life, or do you know and are you ready to believe in a brighter and better future and commit to what it will take to get you there? I would love to hear all about it at [email protected], and I know that when we take the actions necessary and believe in a better and brighter future, it really will be a better than good week.

Don’t mourn fate of news too soon, say panelistsVeteran journalists look at future of industryBy Jennifer [email protected]

Perhaps you’ve heard the news. Or not.Journalism is dead.Not so fast, say three veteran local jour-

nalists.“There are those who say we don’t need

journalists anymore, because everybody’s a journalist,” said Ken Durham, who now teaches aspiring newshounds at Arapahoe Community College. “Well, when every-body’s a journalist, nobody’s a journalist. … People still want people to check facts.”

He hosted the “This Just In: Journalism is Alive and Thriving in the Digital Age” panel on April 29 at ACC. Panelists discussed how rapidly changing technology in a rapidly changing world challenges all media out-lets to come up with a way to keep up, keep

relevant and keep getting paid.“I think they’re trying different models,

but I don’t think we’re there yet,” said Susan Thornton, a former Littleton mayor whose first job out of college was writing for U.S. News and World Report. She went on to write columns for the Denver Post and to-day runs her own media-relations and mar-keting company.

“The community newspaper is more important now, because we’ve lost the com-munity gathering place where everybody would sit around the pickle barrel and dis-cuss what was going on,” she said.

“Community news is the way of the fu-ture,” said Bob Burdick, former editor and president of the now-defunct Rocky Moun-tain News. He views it as defensive driving, alerting citizens to things like crime and the actions of local government.

“You can act on it in time to change it,” he said.

Now retired, Burdick recently served as Colorado Community Media’s editorial ad-viser.

“Somebody who says journalism is dead may or may not understand what journal-ism is and what it isn’t,” he said.

What it is, he said, is acting as an agent for the people, finding out what’s interest-ing and distributing it to others. What it is not, all three panelists agreed, is someone sitting in a basement behind a computer, anonymously spouting opinions as facts.

“Some sites unabashedly take one side,” said Burdick. “Some sites are simply gossip mongers, some sites are just trying to pro-voke you just to get a reaction. … You have to evaluate the facts in that context.”

Thornton worries about people believ-ing everything they read without consider-ing the source.

“I really worry about the future of this country with the demise of newspaper ethics,” she said. “This is central to the de-mocracy. … They’re not going to vote well if they’re not informed.”

But, she points out, technology has also led to some compelling moments — con-sider the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011,

which got widespread attention via Twitter.All three stress that to make it today, re-

porters have to continually learn new and diverse skills. Thornton, for example, went from being a beat reporter to writing grant requests, speeches, training materials, vid-eos, opinion pieces and even books. She recently started running media-relations workshops for city managers and depart-ment heads, and she is now a licensed me-diator.

“It’s just some of the ways journalism can take you in your life,” she said.

Dunham noted that in today’s economy, companies are moving away from having big communications departments to hiring just one or two people to do it all — every-thing from photography to video produc-tion to monthly newsletters to graphic de-sign.

“The thread that runs through all of that is communication,” said Burdick. “You can’t write just so you can be understood, you have to write so you can’t be misunder-stood.”

LEGISLATIVE BRIEFSAnnual budget signed into law

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law a $24 billion state budget on April 30 that includes increased funding for education and disaster relief.

The annual long bill replaces some of the education funding that was lost during recession years and pumps $100 million into the higher education system.

The budget also includes about $21 million that will go toward the leasing or purchasing of an aerial firefighting fleet. In addition, money will be set aside to provide assistance for those who are impacted by wildfires and flooding.

Rainy day funding will jump from 5 per-cent to 6.5 percent, under the new budget.

Suicide commission clears LegislatureA bill that creates a suicide prevention

commission is on its way to the governor’s desk.

The legislation aims to provide answers

as to why Colorado has such a high suicide rate. Colorado consistently ranks in the top 10 of states with the highest number of suicides.

Senate Bill 88 creates a state commis-sion that provides recommendations to the governor’s office, the Legislature and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

The bill passed the House on May 1 after it had previously passed the Senate.

The bill was sponsored by Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Rep. Tracy Kraft-Tharp, D-Arvada.

Education measure goes to governorA bill that provides $180 million dollars in

new K-12 education funding is on its way to the governor’s desk.

The Student Success Act puts $20 million toward third-grade reading programs and provides a uniform transparency system that allows the public to see how the new

dollars are being spent.The bill also backfills $110 million in

education funding cuts that occurred during lean budget years.

The bill passed both legislative chambers with large bipartisan support, most recently in the House on April 30.

Oil and gas fines bill advancesPenalties for violating oil and gas

rules will increase for the first time in nine years, under a bill that is expected to be signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper.

House Bill 1356 increases daily fines from the current $1,000 to $15,000 for violations that include hazardous spills.

The bill passed the Senate on April 30, following a 20-15 vote.

The bill had previously passed the House.

Local war heroes honored by FrenchPresident Hollande bestows highest honorBy Jennifer [email protected]

Two south-metro World War II heroes were heralded in a regal ceremony April 24, held in the Old Supreme Court Cham-bers at the Colorado Capitol and attended by local dignitaries and proud family and friends.

“My life is richer for having known them,” said Col. Wesley West, retired from the Air Force.

Senior Master Sgt. Elmo “Mitch” Mis-chler, of the Air Force, and Staff Sgt. Wal-ter Quering, of the Air Corps, earned the praise of French President François Hol-lande, who granted them the National Order of The Legion of Honor in the rank of Chevalier (Knight). It is the highest dis-tinction in France, created by Napoleon in 1802.

“This is overwhelming,” said Quering. “I still correspond with people in France, and everyone I talk to admires the Ameri-can people, they really do.”

Mischler, a Centennial resident, thanked his family for their support.

“The Air Force was good for me,” he said. “It was a growing-up process.”

Standing in for Hollande was Jeffery Richards, the honorary consul general of France for Colorado.

“This is a symbol of great and long-standing friendship between our coun-tries,” he said. “We honor those who, as young men, left home to defend democ-racy and human rights.”

Mischler was born in the tiny eastern Colorado town of Eckley on July 11, 1923. He enlisted at Fort Leavenworth in De-cember 1942 and arrived in England in September 1943, assigned to the 333rd Squadron, 94th Bomb Group. He was part of a 600-airplane raid on Berlin in March of that year, flying the “Pride of the Yanks,” surviving a mission that lost roughly a

third of its fleet.“We also remember the ultimate sacri-

fice of many of your comrades who rest on French soil today,” said Richards.

Over the next 30 years, Mischler served as a flight engineer, crew chief, flight chief, line chief, quality-control inspector and superintendent, retiring in 1977. His decorations include the Bronze Star, Dis-tinguished Flying Cross, four Air Medals, a Good Conduct Medal, Meritorious Service Medal and numerous campaign credits.

After his service, he worked in the Col-orado Capitol security department for 12 years and now volunteers at the Wings over the Rockies Air and Space Museum. He was married in 1950 and has two chil-dren and two grandchildren.

Quering was born in Glassport, Pa., on Oct. 12, 1923. He enlisted in May 1943 and landed in England in September 1944, as-signed to the 839th Squadron as a gunner.

On Feb. 14, 1945, Quering saved the life of the radio operator by dressing the severe wound. A month later, Quering was wounded himself while on his 34th com-bat mission over Germany, and ended the war in an Army hospital. His decorations include three Air Medals, the Purple Heart and the Good Conduct Medal. He also has the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three battle stars.

After the war, Quering moved to Colo-rado and completed a degree in account-ing and economics at Regis University in 1949. The entrepreneur then opened his own insurance company and an electron-ics company, General Sound and Elec-tronics.

He and his wife Catherine, married in 1947 and raised three daughters who gave them two grandchildren. Catherine passed away in 1995. Quering lives in Lit-tleton.

Mischler and Quering join four other Colorado men in accepting the honor: Lt. Leonard Siekmeier Jr., Army, of Colo-rado Springs; Staff Sgt. Claude Osbourn, Army Air Corps, of Broomfield; Pfc. Rich-ard Walker, Army, of Boulder; Pfc. Edward Seitz, Army, of Colorado Springs.

middle-school facility on the north end of the site. The construction also will include most of the com-mon areas like science labs, which, when the project is completed, will be used by both high-school and middle-school students.Phase one involved construction of about 65 percent of the project and was completed in November 2013.

The high-school students,

teachers and classrooms were moved into the newly constructed middle-school building over the 2013 Thanksgiving break.

Shifting the high school classes to the new building is necessary so the remaining high school build-ings can be demolished.

That makes way for construc-tion of the final 35 percent of the project.

The demolition of the main high school building and comple-tion of the remainder of the proj-ect got underway in January and is scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.

ey side and ignore the public-safety side, to me the public-safety side triumphs,” said Rep. Jeanne Labuda, D-Denver.

House Appropriations Commit-tee member Max Tyler, D-Lake-wood, wasn’t willing to fund the legislation at the possible ex-pense of other CDOT projects.

“I’m wondering what bridge is not going to be built, what road is not going to be protect-ed,” Tyler said. “Where are they going to get the money for this, Mr. Speaker?”

The bill’s last chance for sur-vival would have allowed it to go to a vote in the full House, where it could have been amended to its original form. But the committee rejected that

motion.Ferrandino knew there

wasn’t much hope for the bill, acknowledging as much to re-porters the day before the hear-ing.

Having accepted defeat during the hearing, the House speaker — who is not accus-tomed to being on the losing end of a piece of legislation — drew laughter when he joked about his colleagues’ lack of support.

“When did I become part of the minority?” quipped Ferran-dino.

Shape of things to comePark amphitheater’s new covering arrives in time for summerStaff report

Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, city councilmembers and staff gathered the morning of May 2 for a “topping-off” ceremony to mark the near-conclusion of improvements at Centennial Center Park’s amphitheater. Steel trusses were put in place — but not before being signed by the mayor and councilmem-bers — to facilitate the amphitheater’s new covering.

On June 7, the city will kick off sum-mer and celebrate the amphitheater’s upgrades with a free concert featuring Eagles tribute band “The Long Run,” as well as additional music acts, children’s activities and food trucks. Many more events will follow throughout the sum-mer, and the new stage covering is ex-pected to rain-proof performances.

Overall, more than $1 million in im-provements to the 11-acre park, which opened in 2012, are expected to soon be completed. In addition to the stage covering, they include:

• Electrical enhancements at the amphitheater that are expected to help attract professional performers.

• Construction of a “loading path-way” to the amphitheater for perform-ers.

• New shade structures.• A picnic shelter at the south end of

the park.The park is located on the north side

of Arapahoe Road, between South Re-vere Parkway and South Vaughn Street. For more information, go to www.cen-tennialco.gov/Open-Space-Parks/cen-tennial-center-park.aspx

Hospital celebrates 25th with a facelift CEO announces $30 million investment in services, lobby By Jennifer Smith [email protected]

As part of its 25th anniversary celebra-tions, Littleton Adventist Hospital an-nounced on April 24 a $30 million project that will renovate the atrium, expand car-diac services and add parking.

“Our community continues to grow, and unfortunately there are some disease states that continue to grow,” CEO Brett Spenst told a group of community leaders attend-ing a meeting of the Littleton Business Co-alition. “What we’re trying to do is prepare for the future.”

Spenst explained that the hospital will go forward with a focus on “population health,” defi ned as the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distri-bution of those outcomes. He noted that the age group of 55 to 85 is the most rapidly growing in the south-metro area, and they are most in need of medical services.

To that end, the hospital is expanding cancer care, cardiac and surgical services and radiology. There will also be added

“hybrid” operating rooms, which Spenst called a less expensive environment than a traditional OR.

Earlier, the group heard from the hospi-tal’s Dr. David Vansickle, a leading expert in deep-brain stimulation. It’s a process of in-serting electrodes into the brain to control symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, essential tremors and similar neurological disorders. He explained that the very fi rst such pro-cedure done robotically was performed at Littleton Adventist, allowing the patient to sleep through it for the fi rst time.

“It was sort of the holy grail,” said Van-sickle.

Jason Dunkel, the hospital’s director of business development, said it’s a great ex-ample of the hospital’s positive presence in the medical community.

“Clearly we have grown up, and we’re proud of our hospital and the service we offer,” he said.

He said this round of renovations will be lean projects designed to improve effi cien-cies rather than big, obvious additions as in the past.

“We will need a parking structure even-tually,” he said.

Most obvious to the general public will be a modernized lobby and more confer-ence space, often used by outside groups like LBC.

He noted that the health of the commu-

nity is an important consideration for busi-ness leaders, affecting sick time and cost of benefi ts.

“Our mission is around spiritual care,” he said of the hospital’s Adventist affi li-

ation. “… There are many patients who come into our care with diseases that can’t be cured, but they can leave healed. Our highest priority is making sure we hire peo-ple who are a good cultural fi t.”

‘Tango Suite’ is new work by noted pianist Concert is part of Englewood series By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

Eric Bertoluzzi will conduct Up Close and Musical, an ensemble of Colorado Symphony Orchestra mu-sicians, in the finale of the Chamber Music of the Masters season at 2 p.m. on May 17 in Hampden Hall at the Englewood Civic Center.

The concert honors the late, be-loved Englewood mayor, Olga Wo-losyn, who was a champion for arts in her city. She died in September 2007.

Featured on the program is a new work, “Tango Suite,” by pianist/composer Jonathan Geer, a Texan.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, with a degree in film scoring, Geer has worked with directors local and international.

He performs regularly with the Austin Piazzolla Quintet, which spe-cializes in music by the late Argen-tine composer Astor Piazolla, who invented the nuevo tango style.

Geer wrote about the new work: “The ‘Tango Suite for String Orches-tra’ originally began as three sepa-rate pieces written for the Austin Pi-azzolla Quintet …. The first piece is `Tango Muerte,’ modeled after some of the more traditional tangos that Piazzolla wrote.”

The tempo is fairly steady and the length is fairly short, at around three minutes.

In the middle section, the rhythm of the accompanying strings under-

neath the melody is one that you will hear in many tangos.

“The second piece, ‘Ghost Milon-ga II’ is written in the style of Piaz-zolla’s haunting, slow milongas.” You will hear a few ghostly harmon-ics .…

“The final piece, `Los Compa-dritos,’ is a gritty and rhythmically intricate composition inspired by some of the early progenitors of the tango.

A compadrito is a person of the generation whose grandfathers fought in Argentina’s war of inde-pendence from Spain ….”

Also on the program will be mu-sic by Mozart, Grieg, Hindemith, Gershwin and Bartok.

“Tango Suite” by composer Jonathan Geer will have its World Premiere at the Up Close and Musical “Shu� e” Concert on May 17—the annual Olga Wolsyn Memorial Concert. Courtesy photo

Inmate dies in custodyCoroner, sheriff investigatingStaff report

A 51-year-old inmate died while in the custody of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office on April 29.

Eric Terrell Hasley of Centennial was arrested on April 28 after it was reported he was acting suspiciously and hiding in a neighborhood. Hasley was uncoopera-tive with the Arapahoe County deputies who contacted him, and showing signs of intoxication.

Hasley received medical treatment at a

local hospital before being taken to jail and charged with second-degree assault, vio-lating a protection order and obstructing the deputies.

Hasley was found breathing but unre-sponsive during a routine check on the morning of April 29. Medical staff at the jail immediately responded, and he was transported to a local hospital. He was pro-nounced dead by hospital staff at 7:22 p.m.

The death is being investigated by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office and the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office, who say additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

See your way to outdoor glass exhibit

Denver Botanic Gardens will present the Rocky Mountain region’s first outdoor exhibition of artwork by celebrated American glass artist Dale Chihuly. His dramatic sculptures will be on view June 14 through Nov. 30 at the gardens, 1007 York St. in Denver.

Chihuly is credited with revolution-izing the Studio Glass movement and elevating the perception of the glass medium from the realm of craft to fine art. He is renowned for his ambitious ar-chitectural installations around the world in museums and gardens.

CSO, yeahThe Colorado Symphony Orchestra,

the bastion of classical taste and the guardian of musical tradition, is encour-aging patrons to bring pot to the party during Classically Cannabis: The High Note Series, which marks a growing part-nership between the CSO and the bur-geoning cannabis industry in Colorado.

Clever those symphony folks, who, for this series, seem to be swapping black tie for Rasta wear. Ganja!

The High Note Series will be at The Space Gallery, 400 Santa Fe Drive, and all proceeds will benefit the Colorado Symphony. Classically Cannabis themes include Pan American Highway on May 23, Mississippi Blues Highway on July 18 and Summer Monsoon on Aug. 15.

The series will culminate with a Red Rocks concert on Sept. 13; details to be announced soon. Note that the con-sumption of cannabis at Red Rocks is prohibited by law.

“This partnership is part of an overall effort to reach out to every segment of our community,” said Jerome H. Kern, the Colorado Symphony’s CEO and, with Mary Rossick Kern, co-chair of its board of trustees. “Like the Colorado Sym-phony, the cannabis industry is entre-preneurial, innovative and responsive to the people of Colorado. These businesses have expressed a willingness to support the Colorado Symphony’s mission. Our doors are open to any legal, legitimate business that wants to help.”

Since the symphony announced this cutting-edge musical series last week, spokeswoman Laura Bond says, “We’ve been pleased and energized by the re-sponse so far. … We’ve heard from people in Los Angeles, Australia, all over the country and the world. People recognize that this is a bold move, not without risks, and most have applauded the effort.”

Leapin’ lizards, it’s Little Orphan AnnieMiddle-school students stage play in EnglewoodBy Sonya [email protected]

The time is the 1930s and the setting is Depression-era New York City. A plucky little red-haired girl takes on her world and wins.

“Annie Jr.” is the musical sto-ry of Little Orphan Annie, with music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Martin Charnin and book by Thomas Meehan, based on a famous comic strip created by Harold Gray.

“Annie Jr.” will be presented by a large cast of Englewood Middle School drama students, directed by Lindsay Taylor, at 6:30 p.m. May 15 at the school. Admission is free.

Gabby Mezta will play the

part of the smart little orphan girl, leading her friends in a chorus of “It’s a Hard-Knock Life,” as they scrub the floor at the orphanage, under the harsh control of Miss Hannigan (Au-gust Miller).

Other orphans are Rachel Malsam (Pepper), Cosette Rivelli (July), Hannah Sando-val (Tessie), Petra Galbaugh (Duffy), Carli Deckart (Kate) and Chelsea Langley (Molly).

They daydream about a bet-ter world, singing “Tomorrow.”

Grace Farrell (Evelyn Knud-son), the assistant to million-aire Oliver Warbucks (Travis Hastings), appears at the or-phanage to take home an or-phan for the Christmas season, to brighten up Warbuck’s life in

his mansion.Annie has run away, con-

nected with stray dog Sandy and been returned to the or-phanage by a policeman (Dylan Carpenter). She is chosen to visit Warbucks, meets President Roosevelt (Trevor Turnquist) while there and is eventually captured by Hannigan’s shady brother Rooster (Justin Tanner) and his lady friend Lily St. Regis (Regina Evans).

Action involves a number of other characters and situations — and more memorable songs, including “You’re Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile.”

Other actors (some play two parts): Andy Rivera, Danny Merchison, Justine Fama, Bar-bara Glidewell, Clayton Kracke, Dylan Carpenter, Zoee Stam-baugh, Christina Martinez, Kaylie Carpenter and Casey Kohler.

IF YOU GO“Annie Jr.” will be performed by Engle-

wood Middle School drama students at 6:30 p.m. May 15 at the school theater, 300 W. Chenango Ave., Englewood. Ad-mission is free. (Entrance on the west side.)

Play brings iconic story to stageBy Sonya [email protected]

“All the characters of this story are skilled at creating worlds around them that fit their version of reality, but none is more committed to dreams than Jay Gatsby. He is master of illusion, and, like other gifted magicians, the `Great Gatsby’ creates a beautiful world of deception. His blind commitment to the rags-to-riches American Dream betrays him …,” wrote Elizabeth Zurn, the new play dramaturg at Creede Repertory Theatre.

It’s summer 1922 on New York’s Long Island.

Not only are the characters skilled at creating an illusion, but the Arvada Cen-ter’s technical magicians share that skill. The stage set, with its two levels and sets of doors, takes the audience from roadside filling station into Gatsby’s mansion, with a 1920s musical background filling in gaps between conversations. Costumes are detailed and believable — with Gatsby’s

white and pastel summer suits, and flap-per dresses and stockings with seams for the women.

Graham Ward plays a low-key Nick Car-raway, who serves as a sort of narrator/commentator, at times breaking through the fourth wall to talk with the audience.

Anthony Bianco, as Jay Gatsby, is the dashing owner of the mansion next door to Nick’s modest Long Island rental. He bought it, we learn early, to be near his longtime love, Daisy Buchanan (the excel-lent Jamie Romero), who lives across the sound. She has married abusive, preju-diced, wealthy Tom Buchanan (effectively portrayed by C. Clayton Blackwell in a Col-orado debut).

Daisy and Gatsby had fallen in love be-fore he left for army service, but she, fo-

cused on her own well-being, did not wait for him to come back.

Readers are probably familiar with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s famous novel — adapted for the stage by Simon Levy. It is based to some extent on his personal story — so the reason to see this production would focus on how beautifully the Arvada Center’s skilled cast and crew will present the bit-tersweet tale.

And they don’t disappoint, although the chemistry between Gatsby and Daisy was not as solid as one might expect — or perhaps that’s the point. Maybe these two are so self-centered, they are not capable of blind passion. “His voice is full of money …”

Also strong in their parts: gas sta-tion owner George Wilson (Steven Cole Hughes) and his wife, Myrtle (Caitlin Doran), self-serving society type Jordan Baker (Audra Blaser) and gangster type Meyer Wolfsheim (Steve Einspahr).

Not folks one would especially yearn to know, but they tell the audience a well-put-together, beautifully produced story, directed by Gavin Meyer.

Tin Cup II opensCindy Jones, the affable owner of

the Tin Cup restaurant at Aurora Hills Golf Club, has stretched her spatula to add the eatery at Fitzsimons Golf Course to her culinary resume.

Jones, who officially took over the Fitz restaurant in January, has been sprucing up the golfers’ 19th hole and has brought the Tin Cup’s breakfast and lunch menus to the new place.

The Tin Cup, which for my money is the best public golf course restau-rant in Aurora, features homemade breakfast burritos as well as house-fried tortilla chips and house-made

salsa, with several grab and go items for golfers on their way to the next hole.

Jones also hired Rose Decker, who famously worked at the long-gone Plainsman in Aurora for 20 years, as the manager at the newly named Tin Cup II.

“(Decker) is such a go-getter and makes everyone feel so welcomed,” Jones said. “We’re getting great feed-back from everyone and we have very reasonable prices, and people are coming from the hospitals and (other office buildings in) that area to eat. We also have to-go menus for (local workers) to call in: 303-340-3093.”

Debut novel has roots in mysteries of pastAuthor will appear at two area events

By Sonya [email protected]

In Justin Go’s debut novel, “The Steady Run-ning of the Hour,” wealthy English mountaineer Ash-ley Walsingham succumbs in 1924 to the relentless ice and snow of Mount Ever-est — the same challenging mountain that just claimed a number of guides from Nepal last month.

Walsingham had willed his fortune to former lover Imogen Soames-Ander-sson, who disappeared

without claiming it, and 80 years later, her descendent Tristan Campbell hears from a London law firm that he may be the heir if he can prove his connection to Imogen.

Debut novelist Go, who will appear at Tattered Cover/Colfax at 7:30 p.m. May 15 and at the sold-out Booktopia Boulder 2014 from May 16-18, has spun a complex, skillfully crafted, well-researched tale about the search for Imogen’s sto-ry and clues to her where-abouts some 80 years later. Where did she live? Were there any descendents?

Can Tristan find believ-able clues? In London, Par-is, Norway, Iceland …

Chapters alternate be-

tween Ashley’s world, his war service — including horrifying descriptions of a soldier’s life in the trenches in France — and his later return to a pursuit of seri-ous mountaineering.

In a brief interval before reporting to World War I army duty, the young man, who had inherited a fortune (and could therefore pur-sue the mountain climb-ing), met and fell totally in love with erratic Imogen Soames- Andersson. Their encounters in wartime London and surroundings are described with rich de-tails of what people wore, what they thought about, what they ate and more.

The complicated book alternates between chap-

ters set in decades past and in today’s world as young Tristan follows clues about Imogen, his great-grand-mother, who wandered in search of happiness, and about her lover Ashley, who survived the horrors of war and was defeated by a mountain.

There are letters, old re-cords, maps, early newspa-per accounts, musty attics, lots of cold and snow and eventually a connection to the world for Tristan in to-day’s setting.

Go is a talented story-teller. He studied at Univer-sity of California-Berkeley, where he received a bach-elor’s degree in history and art history and University College, London, where he

earned a master’s degree in English. He left his job with a law firm at age 27 to head to Berlin and write a novel, although he did not speak German. He traveled and wrote for three years: in England, Germany, France, Sweden, Iceland and to the base of Mount Everest, chasing his stories as his young protagonist did.

He then worked in a New Orleans hotel as desk clerk, at age 32, while he completed his novel.

When Go sent unsolic-ited copies to agents, he had immediate response — a highly unusual situation — and was soon launched, with publication in Britain and the U.S. in many lan-guages.

Anyone familiar with the difficulties of even get-ting through to an editor at a major publisher will rec-ognize what a remarkable story centers on this young author — who is now at work on a second novel.

Baby news video goes viral Family moment has 1.4 million views By Chris Michlewicz [email protected]

Pure joy is an expression that’s universal — and apparently viral.

A momentous occasion for a Douglas County family, caught on video, has led to a groundswell of social media sharing and light-hearted news segments. Jacob and Hannah Ouellette, who founded Thrive Church in Parker, wanted to fi nd a creative way to tell their two children about a new addition to the family.

Mommy-to-be Hannah Ouellette came up with the idea of putting miniature so-nogram images inside plastic eggs in the

kids’ Easter baskets, but the hint didn’t im-mediately click with Faithlyn, 6, and Ethan, 3. So when dad revealed the news that “mommy’s going to have a baby,” the reac-tion was swift and priceless.

First came the surprised looks on their faces, then Faithlyn confi rming that she heard correctly. Following that was a jubi-lant squeal of laughter and excitement that captured the hearts of viewers. Faithlyn, who had been begging for another sibling, hugs her mom and fi nishes the 1-minute, 46-second video by adorably stating, “I can’t thank you enough!” For many, hitting the share button from there was a virtual formality.

Jacob Ouellette called the video’s near-instantaneous spread “unbelievable.”

“It started going up, beyond our family and friends,” he said. “It was really, really special to see how many people were en-

joying this moment with us.”Then came a call from a producer at

“Good Morning America” who had seen the video when it was at only 3,000 views. Friends on the East Coast called and said they also saw “Mommy’s Having a Baby” on “The Today Show.” The Ouellettes, of Highlands Ranch, honored a slew of in-terview requests, appearing on 9News and “Inside Edition,” and saw the story on web-sites for Yahoo!, TMZ and The Ellen Show.

The number of views was going up by the thousands and, eventually, the tens of thousands, each time Jacob Ouellette checked. Not bad for a video that was in-tended merely to preserve a family mem-ory.

Because Hannah Ouellette was start-ing to show, the couple knew the secret wouldn’t last long. Yet after posting it on YouTube as a private video for family and

friends, the Ouellettes decided to use it to break the news to their congregation. Word-of-mouth launched the video to ev-ery corner of the globe.

The viral public response shows not only the worldwide connectivity afforded by the digital age, but a natural human pro-pensity to absorb and then share a blissful experience.

“We knew she’d be happy, but she was so deeply happy, it was overwhelming,” said Hannah Ouellette, who is due Nov. 25. “We’ve watched it several times since and we get emotional every time.”

It’s the type of video that crosses physi-cal and cultural boundaries. That’s the main reason why it jumped from 170,000 views on May 2 to 1.4 million as of May 5. To watch it, visit www.youtube.com and type `Mommy’s Having a Baby’ into the search fi eld.

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF ApRil 28, 2014

ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) You might be tempted to be more assertive when dealing with a job-related matter. But a carefully measured approach works best at getting the cooperation you’re looking for.

TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) While others urge you to act now, you instinctively recognize that a move at this time is not in your best interests. You should know when to do so by week’s end.

GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) A busy schedule keeps you on the move for much of the week. But things ease up by the time the weekend arrives, allowing you to reconnect with family and friends.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Travel dominates the week, and despite some delays in getting to where you want to go, the overall experience should prove to be a positive one in many ways.

LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Your leonine self-confidence comes roaring back after a brief period of doubt and helps you get through a week of demanding chal-lenges and ultimately emerge triumphant.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Virgos who have made a major commitment -- personal or professional -- should be able to tap into a renewed reservoir of self-confidence to help them follow through.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You soon could receive news from a surprising source that could cause you to change your mind about how you had planned to deal with an ongoing job-related problem.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) A surprise move of support from a colleague who has never been part of your circle of admirers helps influence others to take a new look at what you’ve put on the table.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) While a bold decision to take an “i know what i’m doing” approach impresses some colleagues, it also raises the risk of causing resentment among others.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) A misunderstand-ing ‘twixt you and a friend might not be your fault at all, despite what he or she suggests. Talk it out to see at what point the confusion might have started.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Getting into a com-munity operation fulfills the Aquarian’s need to help people. it also can lead to new contacts that might one day help you with a project.

PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) A minor problem could delay the start of a long-anticipated trip for two. Use the time to recheck your travel plans. You might find a better way to get where you’re going.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are a dedicated romantic who seeks both excitement and stability in your re-lationships.

Littleton gets more stout38 State Brewing Company hosts grand openingBy Jennifer [email protected]

38 State Brewing Company is arriving at the end of a trail it blazed, and at the start of what its owners hope is a long and pros-perous journey.

“People ask if, looking back at all the work it took to do it, would we do it again,” said Kim Keat-ing. “That would be a definite yes. And we’re rallying the other brew-ers that are opening up to just keep going.”

Keating, her husband, Mike, friend Jason Virzi and neighbor Brett Blazek got bit by the brew-ing bug five years ago, and de-cided three years ago to dive in head first by setting up shop in Littleton.

Several manufacturers have expressed interest in the city, but 38 State was the first to actually get the barrel rolling. At the time, such companies were only al-lowed in industrial areas like the Santa Fe corridor, where Breck-enridge Brewery will rise next year. The Old Mill brewery gets to be downtown because it has a full restaurant, so it’s classified as a brewpub.

But after dealing with 38 State, city staff recommended last year that the law be changed to allow microbreweries, wine makers and microdistilleries in certain com-

mercial areas like shopping cen-ters and downtown. City council ultimately agreed, passing an or-dinance that limits their size and requires 30 percent of the build-ing to be dedicated to retail sales and a tasting room.

The action actually came too late to help 38 State, which will host its grand opening on May 10 in its new space, a former au-tomotive shop south of the Office Depot at Broadway and County Line Road. The garage doors open up to tables and a bar, along with a jukebox, Pac-Man machine and Golden Tee. While they don’t have a kitchen, they will regularly in-vite food trucks and welcome de-liveries and picnics.

“We love our space, so we’re happy,” said Kim Keating. “But we paved the way for other places to not have to go through such a strict process.”

Some might call it the perfect setting for a garage party, which the partners say is basically how the idea got started.

“It was just a hobby that got way out of control,” said Keat-ing. “It was really at the point we couldn’t even park in our garage.”

Her husband was the natural choice to be the master brewer, as he’s a professional master gar-dener by day. He’s using as many local ingredients as he can get his hands on, and says he’ll change up the offerings on a regular ba-sis.

“I don’t think we want to pi-geonhole ourselves into any cer-tain kind of style,” she said. “We don’t want to be labeled, we want to cater to everybody.”

Mike Keating adds he doesn’t want to get bored, either.

“I like beer with some flavor, but I’m not opposed to drinking large amounts of Coors Light, ei-ther,” he said.

Blazek said the true test came when they brought the beer out of the garage.

“Your friends are always going to have good things to say, but it’s really neat that strangers, people we’ve never met, had good things

to say,” he said.They hired one of those strang-

ers as their general manager, and Lael Callaway says he’s impressed with the transformation of both the space and the partners.

“When I had my interview here, this place was a shell, and now it’s something off the charts,” he said. “And watching all these guys adapt and learn something they’ve never done before is re-freshing.”

Despite the challenges, every-one agrees 38 State — so named because Colorado was the 38th state admitted to the union — was worth it.

“For me, personally, I’m proud about the fact that I won’t be that old man talking to somebody, saying ‘I could have done that, I should have done that,’ ” said Mike Keating. “I can say with a smile, `I did that.’”

Creek claims another league crownBruins baseball rides hot streak into postseasonBy Jim [email protected]

No. 28 could be just a little more dis-tinctive for Cherry Creek baseball coach Marc Johnson.

Creek wrapped up the Centennial League championship May 3 with a 10-0 win over Eaglecrest. It was the 28th league title won by Creek but this season’s title might be more special.

“I can remember most of them,” said the 67-year-old Johnson, who has com-piled a 710-166 record in 42 seasons as Creek’s head coach. “You know what, they are all special. This one was real special because we didn’t start out as strong as we hoped we would. The team worked (hard), came on and we have had five run-rule games in a row.”

Cherry Creek usually has teams loaded with highly touted players. However, early this season the Bruins looked more like just an average team with a 3-3 record in the first six games of the campaign.

“We’ve been spoiled the past couple years,” admitted Johnson. “Now, we’re back to playing baseball, having to exe-cute skills and doing the things we have to do to beat people. I’m very, very proud of this team. They have worked hard. I have a fabulous coaching staff. The team pushed themselves very hard and did everything they could to be as good as they could be.”

Creek, which has won 12 of its last 13 games and outscored opponents 63-4 in the last five outings, received a No. 8 seed in the state tournament and will host one of the eight districts May 10.

“I just hope we will go in and compete in the state playoffs,” added Johnson. “Our kids are excited. We want to play and we respect every team we will play. We will

go in and give it the best shot that we can. We’re happy to be where we are at.”

In the Bruins final tune-up for the playoffs against Eaglecrest, the game was called after six innings because of the mercy rule. Starting pitcher Justin Je-ronimus limited the Raptors to one hit in the 10-0 shutout, striking out six and not walking a batter.

“We got a really good pitching perfor-

mance,” said Johnson. “Cody Wood has a little bit of a hurt arm. Justin has really stepped in and become our go-to guy for the time being. We’re hoping Cody will be able to go by the state playoffs. We hope to have both of them.”

Creek hit for the cycle in a five-run third inning against the Raptors.

Sean Robison, the No. 9 hitter in the lineup, doubled to start the inning and

stole third base. Aeneas Robertson fol-lowed with a single, Ryan Robb tripled and Grant Farrell hit a two-run, inside the park home run. The fifth run came home on Jack Hallmark’s squeeze bunt that scored designated hitter Parker Jax who had tri-pled.

Creek was helped by three Eaglecrest errors to score five more runs in the bot-tom of the sixth to end the game.

Pirates qualify for state tourneyEnglewood finishes regular season undefeated on pitchBy Tom [email protected]

Englewood’s girls soccer team has com-pleted a banner regular season and begun its quest to continue the winning in the postseason.

“Our season was more than we expect-ed,” Pirates Coach Chris Kavinsky said.

“We finished undefeated, won the league title and qualified for state. We had hoped to host a game here at Englewood but the seeding didn’t work out that way. That is the way it goes so we need to focus to going on the road and winning games.”

The Pirates, with a 13-0-1 record, trav-eled to Longmont May 7 to play Silver Creek in the first round of the Class 4A playoffs.

Englewood, ranked 19th in the playoff seeding, qualified for the state playoffs for the first time since 2004.

“We played great soccer this season,”

the coach said. “I think the most amazing thing this season was the fact we didn’t give up a goal in our 14 games.”

He said the team is a mix of veterans and newcomers. The Pirates have three se-niors and three juniors on the roster of 19 players.

“Our seniors and juniors have provided great leadership for our team on and off the field while our underclassmen have moved in to win starting spots for us,” the coach said. “Provided all our players re-turn, things look (good) for next season and for seasons in the future.”

Englewood scored an average of 4.2 goals a game. Elijah Daughtry was the scoring leader with 23 goals and six assists. Teammate Kadie Kavinsky scored 13 goals and four assists while Julia Kline scored eight goals and had assists on two others. Freshman Sierra Mazur scored six goals for the Pirates.

Defensively, the Pirates were like a brick wall, never allowing a goal. When an op-ponent did get off shots, Pirate goalie Mi-randa Holman kept the ball out of the net. She recorded 14 shutouts and made more than 50 saves.

Cutthroats duel with reigning champsBy Daniel Williamsdwilliams@ coloradocommunitymedia.com

DENVER — Colorado’s hockey team is playing for the champion-ship.

No, not those guys, the Den-ver Cutthroats, who are right in the middle of the President’s Cup Finals against the reigning cham-pion Allen Americans.

After the Cutthroats and the Americans split the first two games of the Central Hockey League series at the Denver Coli-seum, the action was bound for Texas where the teams will play games 3, 4 and 5. (Results of games in Texas were not available before press time.)

If necessary, game 6 and game 7 will be played back in Denver, and considering how the series

opened with had two dramatic games — one with a spectacu-lar individual effort and the next

with a double overtime finish — it could go the distance.

Game 1 of the series featured

an outstanding performance from A.J. Gale, who scored a Fi-nals’ record four goals, helping the Avalanche minor league af-filiates hold off the Americans (Dallas Stars organization) for a 5-4 victory May 2 at the Denver Coliseum.

Denver took a 3-0 lead early in the second period before Allen managed to tie the game up 3-3. Gale then scored two third-peri-od goals, and the Cutthroats were able to hold off the Americans.

Game 2 was a different story, as Allen beat Denver 5-4 in over-time at the Coliseum.

The Americans were the ones in front early in Game 2, up 2 goals to none.

But the Cutthroats, without Gale, came charging back to take a 3-2 lead. Gale, who not only had four goals in Game 1, but seven

in his previous two games, was injured early in the action and never returned.

Gale was checked into the boards in the first period and needed to be helped off the ice. Head coach Derek Armstrong said Gale sustained a lower body injury and was hospitalized.

No penalty was called on the hit, but give credit to the Cut-throats for finding a way to force overtime at 4-4.

The Americans cashed in just two minutes into the second overtime when Allen forward Ja-mie Schaafsma beat Denver goal-ie Kent Patterson with a beautiful shot up top.

With the series tied 1-1, Allen will host the next three games under the league’s 2-3-2 playoff system with Game 3 scheduled for May 7.

Despite losing their best player A.J. Gale to injury, the Cutthroats’ crowd tried to lift their team Satur-day at the Denver Coliseum. The Cutthroats were beat 5-4 in overtime. Photo by Daniel Williams

2-FOR-1 BUFFET

Lone Tree doctor finds meaning in missionsPlastic surgeon joins team to help disadvantagedBy Jane [email protected]

When a poor African man posted a plea for medical help on RealSelf — a website most com-monly tapped for advice on plas-tic surgery methods and surgeon reviews — the typical responsive chatter from doctors and patients fell silent. Clement Kihitula had a large keloid, an overgrowth of tis-sue, on the back of his neck, and no money for treatment.

“Am from poor family in Tan-zania East Africa where can’t afford treatment abroad,” Kihi-tula posted. “How can I get assis-tance?”

Lone Tree doctor Stephen We-ber was the only surgeon who of-fered to help Kihitula.

The 19-year-old growth was so large it limited Kihitula’s ability to move his head, and was so dis-figuring that Weber said, “People would notice that before they no-ticed him.”

Kihitula’s timing was almost perfect, dovetailing with Weber’s annual medical mission trip to eastern Africa. In mid-March, three weeks after the initial post, Weber operated on Kihitula in Sangida, Tanzania. The man’s home is on the road between the airport and Singida Regional Hos-pital, where the Outreach mission is conducted; he met the team in Singida the day they arrived.

“I thank you for what you have done for me,” Kihitula recently wrote in an email to Weber.

During that same two-week trip, Weber, fellow practice man-ager Camille Kamingo and 24 other American doctors, nurses and volunteers saw 350 patients and conducted 20 surgeries — all at no charge. They repaired cleft palates, lips torn during domestic violence, skin damaged by cobra bites, cooking oil burns and other deformities and injuries.

It’s a far cry from the Botox injections, liposuction surgeries and other procedures he regu-larly performs in Colorado.

“I think we did a huge amount of good. We helped a lot of peo-ple,” Weber said. “Most people focus on cash-paying customers that pay the bills. That’s impor-tant to us, too. But I really think our most important service is the mission work — giving back to people who can’t afford or don’t have access to treatment, who are medically isolated.”

The Outreach mission is con-ducted as a temporary clinic in conjunction with Singida Region-al Hospital. Doctors who practice in the area are overworked and in short supply, focused almost exclusively on labor and delivery, and their training is limited. The Outreach team performed several tonsillectomies because the Afri-can doctors don’t know how to do many such basic procedures, Weber said.

Returning to his normal prac-tice in Lone Tree is always a cul-ture shock, Weber said.

“It’s very hard to wrap your

mind around operating with windows open and a fan going to operating in a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled operating room,” he said.

Despite the differences be-tween facilities and clientele, We-

ber believes his patients in both countries have more in common than it would appear. His client base includes a mix of aesthetic, reconstruction and trauma pro-cedures.

“It’s a different demographic

but I think it’s similar,” Weber said. “People want to look good and feel good — whether that’s a birth defect, treatment of a scar or changing the shape of your nose, I think the motivation is re-ally similar.”
