Charter school proposal unveiledEnglewood Academy organizers hope for August 2013 openingBy Tom Mundstmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Members of the Englewood Academy founding board of directors explained facts and answered questions about their proposal to establish a charter school in Englewood at a Nov. 13 public meeting.

The board of directors submitted the application to establish Englewood’s first charter school, which has not yet settled on a location, on Oct. 1. As part of the ap-plication process, the board is required to hold two public meetings.

About 50 people attended the Nov. 13 meeting, which was the first of two re-garding establishment of a charter school in Englewood. The second meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Nov. 27 at Maddox El-ementary School, 700 W. Mansfield Ave.

Englewood School Board members at-tended the Nov. 13 meeting to hear com-ments from the public, and they also will attend the Nov. 27 meeting. The board will hold a workshop on Nov. 27, following the meeting, to discuss the charter school proposal.

The school board is tentatively set to make a decision on the application at its Dec. 11 meeting.

The proposal is for the charter school to have at least 200 students attending kindergarten through fifth grade when it opens in August 2013. Plans for expan-sion call for the school to eventually serve 420 students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

At the Nov. 13 meeting, the charter school board members made a presenta-tion and took questions from the audi-ence.

Former Englewood teacher Mary Zachariah, charter school founding board president, was the first to speak about the charter school.

“Englewood Academy will create a school of choice that offers a program based on core knowledge, offering an al-ternative educational opportunity for En-glewood students,” she said. “It would be a public school and, like public schools, students will not be charged tuition to attend charter school classes.” Plans call for the curriculum to include all core sub-jects as well as art, music and physical ed-ucation. Spanish instruction would begin in kindergarten and continue through all grades.

Sandy Schoob, an academy board member, talked about financing for the school. She said the school would receive the state per-pupil allocation as the foun-dation of the budget needed to pay staff and provide a facility for the school. She said Englewood Academy is also applying for a state grant program to help charter schools get started and a private grant program.

“We do not have a location yet but we are looking at several different buildings. But we can’t move forward until we know the application has been approved,” she

Inter-Faith distributes food for holidayBoxes contain enough for traditional ThanksgivingBy Tom Mundstmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

There were tears in her eyes as Lucia Hernandez talked about what a Thanksgiv-ing food box from Inter-Faith Community Services meant to her and her family.

“I am a single mom with three chil-dren. I have three part-time jobs. The pay is enough to get by but there is nothing for extras,” the Littleton woman said as she waited to pull her car into Inter-Faith to re-ceive the box. “This box will be such a bless-ing for us. I try to be thankful for what we have but this food will make Thanksgiving special for us.”

Hernandez’s car was among several hun-dred in line Nov. 17 for the annual Inter-Faith Thanksgiving food-box distribution.

This year, the organization distributed 800 boxes to needy families and seniors, so a small army of volunteers were on hand to make the project work.

There were volunteers from schools and service clubs. For example, there were a number of volunteers from the Centennial Rotary Club, members like Ken Hope.

“This is a great way to give back to the community,” the former Englewood resi-dent said. “There are a lot of folks out there who had a job last year but are now are out of work and can use a little help.”

A short distance away, Cherry Creek stu-dent Ashley Klingbiel was helping set up the food boxes before the distribution began.

“I am a member of the Enact Club, the high school version of Rotary,” she said.

“There are seven of us here today. I think being here is a great idea because we are doing something that will help a lot of peo-ple have a nice Thanksgiving.”

Brad Bernero of Parker was among vol-unteers delivering boxes to seniors.

“I am glad to do this,” he said. “All the se-niors are nice people and a lot of them are happy to see us and talk to us. I like to do this as a way to give back to the community. It is a lot better than just sitting around the house.”

Even as food was being distributed, ad-ditional food donations were coming in.

“Our church, Abiding Hope Lutheran, held a food drive and collected 100 boxes and 100 pounds of potatoes,” Littleton resident and church member Ron Siegfried said as he unloaded several boxes out of his car. “It is our way to help Inter-Faith and to help needy families in the area.”

Pilot program o�ers hope for spinal injuriesChiropractic care, acupuncture, massage among treatmentsBy Ryan Boldreyrboldrey@ourcoloradonews.com

A 67-patient pilot program in Colorado has a chance to change the health-care land-scape in America, specifically for those suffering from severe spinal cord injuries.

Based out of Progressive Health Center, on the campus of Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, the program ex-ists because of the hard work of Chanda Hinton Leichtle, 30, who has spent the past 21 years as a quadriplegic.

Shot in the back of the neck

accidentally when she was just 9 years old, Hinton Leichtle spent much of her life on a heavy diet of pharmaceuticals. At one point she was on as many as four high-dose pain-killers a day. Since she began in-tegrating alternative treatments nine years ago, everything has changed.

Hinton Leichtle discovered not only the physical and emo-tional benefits but the finan-cial impact as well. The only problem was, despite her new-found treatments — acupunc-ture, massage and chiropractic — being preventive and more cost-efficient, Medicaid did not cover them.

Her response? She launched a nonprofit, the Chanda Plan Foundation, which operates on a $250,000 annual budget

and helps about 20 individuals cover the costs of their alterna-tive therapies per year. But that wasn’t enough, and she knew it. So, with the help of state Sen. Suzanne Williams and state Rep. Nancy Todd of Aurora, Hinton Leichtle took her fight to the state Legislature, which

has approved Medicaid funding for the experimental program in Colorado.

If successful in Colorado, Hinton Leichtle said they plan to fight to pass similar legisla-ture through three other states

Musical trip goes around the worldCherrelyn students sing songs of 13 countriesBy Tom Mundstmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Cherrelyn Elementary School students used the spoken word and the universal language of music Nov. 15 to take the au-dience on an imaginary trip around the world.

A choir made up of about 90 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders performed an hourlong program called “A Small Part of the World” to an audience of about 200 friends and family members.

At each “stop,” there was a student who pointed out the country on a globe and then joined three or four classmates dis-cussing information about that country before singing one of that country’s songs.

For example, they sang “The Kerry Dance” from Ireland, “The Piñata” from Mexico and “That is Life” from Nigeria.

To strengthen the program, the stu-dents sang verses of songs in German, Hebrew, Russian and Japanese when they “visited” those countries, and then sang the verse in English.

“We wanted to do a music program, I did some research and I found this pro-gram that taught the kids about geography and a variety of cultures,” music teacher Katie Primo said after the program.

“We started working on the program on Labor Day. The kids worked hard and I think the biggest challenge was helping the kids learn songs in different language.

We practiced in school and we had the kids practice at home. They did a great job tonight and I couldn’t be more pleased.”

Fourth-grader Emerlie Wages Zoerb said doing the program was a lot of fun.

“I liked the music and I think the hard-est part was learning to sing songs in dif-ferent languages,” she said.

“I liked the singing but I think I most enjoyed doing my spoken parts because I felt it showed how hard I had worked on them.”

Fellow student Triston Hercules-Fla-menco said it was fun to be part of the choir and to have his sister, fourth-grader Paola, also be part of it.

“I had a good time being part of the program and I learned a lot of things about other countries I didn’t know,” Tris-ton said. “Learning the music was not too hard. The hard part was learning to pro-nounce all those words in other languag-es.”

During the program, Marsha El-liot applauded enthusiastically after

each number.“My best friend Tina’s daughter is sing-

ing tonight. Tina had to work, so I came to cheer for her daughter,” the Centennial resident said.

“I am surprised at the complexity of

the program. I’m not sure how well I could have learned all those other languages they used. They did a great job and it is a shame that someone didn’t make a good quality recording of the program. I thought it was that good.”

Cherrelyn music teacher Katie Primo is all smiles after students presented her flowers following the performance of the “A Small Part of the World” program. The Nov. 15 program used speakers and music to visit a dozen countries around the world. Photo by Tom Munds

Doty shares views on election, looks ahead Clerk will become county commissioner in January

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@ourcoloradonews.com

Nancy Doty had time to pause for a sigh of relief Nov. 15, nine days after de-cisively winning the Arapa-hoe County District 1 com-missioner’s seat.

“I think it will be less stressful,” said Doty, who is wrapping up her last elec-tion as Arapahoe County clerk and recorder. In that job, she has more than 400,000 voters to keep track of; District 1 has a mere

114,000 or so residents.She said the commis-

sioners are working out a process to appoint her replace-ment, and she has no suggestions or idea as to who it might be.

“I’d just tell them to be prepared to work hard,” she said. “It’s a big job.”

Doty, a Republican, said she’ll focus on economic growth in the county as a commissioner. Her priori-ties along that line will be promoting the area as fami-ly-friendly, working with the business chambers, sup-porting oil and gas explo-ration and protecting the South Platte River.

“I want to make sure it doesn’t dry up,” she said. “I think it’s a huge part of our economic development here in District 1. No one wants to start a business on a dried-up river.”

She said she’ll contin-ue her predecessor Susan Beckman’s work on the South Platte River Work-ing Group, which recently refocused its efforts from acquiring adjacent open space to maintaining and improving current sites.

“We have to look at what we have and plan long-

term, because the money could dry up at some point in the future,” she said.

Though noting that hy-draulic fracturing and other types of oil and gas drilling aren’t likely to happen in District 1, she said she’d be supportive of it in other sec-tions of the county.

“I’d love to have a well drilled in my back yard,” she said. “If we want to have reasonable fuel prices, we need to have reasonable ways to pursue that.”

After much research, she said, she’s confi dent that state regulations on drilling are suffi cient to protect the environment from any pos-sible ill effects. The county should take further steps to maintain roads, protect groundwater and limit air and noise pollution, she added. But she stopped short of saying the county should offer incentives to the industry.

“The market will make that decision,” she said. “If

they determine it’s feasible and they can be productive here, then they will pursue it.”

Municipalities within the county will likely enact their own legislation as the frack-ing debate heats up. Cen-tennial, where Doty lives, repealed its moratorium on oil and gas development in November and replaced it with a set of regulations to permit exploration within the city.

Doty said she trusts the judgment of the municipal-ities in her district.

“I think we need to work respectfully with each oth-er,” she said.

That includes Aurora, which allocated money in its 2013 budget to study the feasibility of becoming its own county after years of kicking the idea around.

“However they decide to go forward, we want to pro-vide them as much accurate information as possible,” she said.

Doty

ELECTION DAY WOES

Nancy Doty, whose job as Arapahoe County clerk and recorder puts her in charge of elections, took some heat this year for long lines at the new voting centers, some with waits up to three hours. The centers replaced traditional neighborhood polling places. While voters could go to any center in the county, there are far fewer of them than there were polling places.

Asked whether she’d recommend her replacement continue that system, she said not doing so would be a mistake.

“There’s always room for improvement with most processes, but to do away with voting centers might not be the wisest thing to do,” she said. Her numbers show that less than 15 percent of the turnout voted on Election Day. Just 5 percent cast ballots during the two-week early voting period, leaving 80 percent who mailed them in.

“If people don’t want to vote on Election Day when it’s very crowded, there are alternatives,” she said.

Englewood Depot listed for sale Residents’ objections derailed prior attempt By Tom Munds tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

The Englewood Depot is for sale, and the city has elected to seek potential buyers through the request-for-proposal process.

The city council approved the move, seeking creative redevelopment and adap-tive use of the 1915-era train depot at 3190 S. Galapago St.

A request-for-proposal package is avail-able that explains the city’s sale process, contains information about the building and outlines the city’s expectation that the buyer will be able to follow guidelines for historic restoration before putting the building to use.

The package is available on the city’s website at www.englewoodgov.org/index.aspx?page=1054.

The city initially used a request-for-pro-posal process in a move to sell the depot in November 2011. In April, only one offer had been presented, which would have done

historic restoration to the depot so it could be used as a company’s offi ces.

But a large number of residents spoke

against the sale, and the potential buyer withdrew his bid. Several residents estab-lished the Englewood Historic Preserva-

tion Society, seeking to turn the depot into a museum. Another proposal was to build a chocolate museum and factory adjacent to the depot and make the depot into an Englewood museum.

The city council has met several times to discuss the future of the depot and fi nally agreed to again use the request-for-propos-al process to seek a buyer. The deadline for proposals is Feb. 28.

The depot was built by the Santa Fe Rail-road in 1915 and was located on the east side of the tracks, near the present-day U.S. 285 underpass under South Santa Fe Drive. It served as a passenger and freight stop.

During World War II it was a transfer point from main-line trains to a spur line running to Fort Logan.

Depot use declined, and the building was closed in the 1950s. It sat idle until the site was purchased. The developer planned to demolish the depot if it wasn’t moved.

In 1994, the Englewood Historical Soci-ety moved the depot to its present location on South Galapago Street. The building has sat empty since it was moved.

However, it was placed on the State Reg-ister of Historic Places and a partial restora-tion was done. The society deeded the de-pot back to the city in 2002.

Holiday lights contest issues call for entries Annual event urges residents to decorate homes By Tom Munds tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Applications are available to enter the annual Englewood Holiday Lighting Con-test.

This is the 25th year for the event that is sponsored by the Keep Englewood Beauti-ful Commission to encourage residents and businesses to display holiday lights from Dec. 3 until Jan. 4.

Entry forms are available at the Engle-wood Civic Center, Englewood Public Li-brary, Englewood Recreation Center and the Malley Senior Recreation Center.

The entry forms also are available online and can be found by going to the city web-site at www.englewoodgov.org, clicking on the boards and commissions icon, and go-ing to the Keep Englewood Beautiful Com-mission page. All entries must be returned by Dec. 3 and the displays will be judged on Dec. 11.

Sylvia Pacheco said she plans to enter for the fi rst time this year.

“I grew up in Englewood in the early

1960s and it seemed everyone around us decorated their houses for Christmas,” she said. “I recently moved back to Engle-wood and I decided that I would break out the decorations and enter the contest like our family used to do. I hope lots of people decorate their homes because I love to see all the lights and decorations and I think it brightens the holiday season.”

All entry forms must be returned by Dec. 3 to the Keep Englewood Beautiful Com-mission.

They can be mailed to the commission in care of the City of Englewood, 1000 En-glewood Parkway, Englewood 80110.

Judging will be done on Dec. 11, evalu-ating displays for artistic effect, craftsman-ship and originality.

The awards will be presented in a num-ber of categories, including mayor’s choice and judges’ choice. Ribbons will be pre-sented to the winners during the Dec. 17 Englewood City Council meeting.

For information on the contest, call 303-762-2345.

Englewood had a lighting contest in the ’50s and ’60s, but it sort of died out. How-ever, 25 years ago, the Keep Englewood Beautiful Commission stepped up, revived the contest and sponsored it as an annual event.

Eats aren’t only treats at EHS eventChili cook-off, cra� fair heldBy Tom Mundstmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Lori Pacheco had a smile on her face as she left the Nov. 17 craft fair and chili cookoff held in the Engle-wood High School field house.

“I found the three items I needed to complete my Christmas gift list. Actually, it was hard because there was so many nice things at the craft fair today,” the Littleton woman said. “I didn’t know about the chili cookoff, but I like chili and tried a couple of the entries. I found one I really like and

that was lunch for me, so it was a good day all around.”

More than 100 vendors took part in the craft fair, held to raise money to help needy EHS students with expens-es like class and sports fees.

The variety of items on sale ranged from holiday decorations and fresh honey to hand-knitted scarfs and handmade jewelry.

This year, for the first time, the craft fair joined forces with a chili cook-off. The cook-off is an annual event put on by Englewood Unleashed, a nonprofit organization supporting off-leash dog privileges at designated Englewood parks. Chili entries were divided into four categories: red, green, veggie and freestyle. A panel of five judges had the difficult task of determining winners.

Some entries were thin and some were thick with ingredients. Some entries were spicy enough to clear the head but none was spicy enough to trigger sweat. First-place winners were: Luke Woodward (freestyle), Lindsey Cowers (red), Sally Deherta (veggie) and Jackie Clary (green).

Cory Tiffany took second place in the green chili category.

“My neighbor insisted I enter, so I cooked up my green chili. I agreed but I never expected to win an award,” she said after the contest. “I have a basic way I cook green chili but I don’t really have a recipe. I just add ingredients until it tastes good. If I were to do it again, I’d not change anything. I’d just make a chili that tastes good.”

Holidays can be hazardous for petsBy Deborah Grigsbydgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com

It’s hard to imagine the holidays as anything other than joyous, yet the very things that make the season so merry can pose hazards to common household pets.

According to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, thousands of pets across the country enter veterinary emergency rooms each year with ailments or injuries re-lated to holiday festivities.

The ASPCA’s national Animal Poi-son Control Center received more than 140,000 calls related to pet expo-sures to toxic substances in 2009 and more than 167,000 such calls in 2010.

And while not all ER visits are poi-son-related, many do come from ev-eryday household items found during the holiday season.

“The most common case we see in the ER during the holidays is, ‘My pet got into blank’ — insert your own word,” said Megan Rector, an Engle-wood-based veterinarian with the Vet-erinary Referral Center of Colorado. “And it’s everything from cookies, to

chocolate, to missing Christmas tree ornaments.”

Rector said it’s easy to overlook pets during the holiday season and that’s when problems can happen.

“We see a lot of cases during the holiday, but nothing different than

what we see throughout the year,” said Rector, “However, many are trips to the emergency room are preventable with a little bit of forethought.”

According to Rector, simple things like not feeding pets spicy, fatty foods and keeping power cords out of reach can prevent illness and injury.

Common cold-weather items like antifreeze and liquid potpourri can be lethal and should be stored safely out of reach.

“These items are sweet and pets are attracted to them by their smell,” Rector explained. “These items can be very deadly, in some cases caus-ing kidney failure, and cats are at par-ticular risk because they tend to climb on counters. If you’ve got a cat in the house, just get rid of the liquid pot-pourri altogether.”

And as is the case with medical care for other family members, Rector said it’s a good idea to have local veterinary contact information readily available.

“Keep your vet’s number handy, as well as information about any medica-tion your pet may be taking,” she said.

Many things that make the holidays merry and bright, such as minature light and power cords, also pose potential health hazards for pets. Photo by Deborah Grigsby

KEEP PETS SAFE DURING HOLIDAYS

• Trees: Securely anchor Christmas trees so they don’t tip and fall and injure a pet.

• WaTer: Make sure pets have plenty of fresh water. Stagnant tree water can cause nausea and other diges-tive issues. Tree water with chemical preservatives in it can be toxic.

• Tinsel: Best to avoid sparkly, light-catching tinsel. Cats are attracted to its sparkle and it can become a potential choking hazard.

• ChoColaTe: Keep foods with chocolate or xylitol away from pets. They can be toxic.

• lefTovers: Fatty, spicy human foods can cause severe digestive problems and intestinal blockage. Never give a pet food with bones.

• Candles: Don’t leave candles unattended as pets may knock them over and start a fire.

• Wires and baTTeries: Pets like to chew on things. Power cords and holiday lights are perfect candidates for shock. Loose batteries are not only toxic if chewed, but can cause caustic burns.

• PlanTs: Berries from mistletoe and poinsettia leaves can be make pets sick, as can many other holiday plants. Best to keep them out of reach. Lilies can cause kidney failure in cats.

• liquid PoTPourri: Best to avoid it altogether. It’s toxic and hard to keep from cats that like to climb on countertops.

• sTress: A house packed for a holiday party can confuse and upset pets. Arrange for a quiet place for them to stay, away from all the noise and chaos.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

So here’s the story on storiesOur stories cover a wide swath of terrain

and subjects. We report on people working to make your community a better place, young athletes striving to achieve big things, public-safety issues, government spending … the list goes on.

Often, a story starts with a phone call. Like the one a couple of weeks ago when we were informed there was a fire at the Streets at SouthGlenn shopping center.

Within minutes, our Centennial reporter was out the door, camera and notebook in tow. Upon her arrival at the scene, the pres-ence of thick smoke and emergency crews quickly validated the news tip.

Sometimes, that’s how it goes. But often, the story isn’t so obvious.

For example, in monitoring how govern-ment entities spend your money, we have a responsibility to bring you information be-yond what you can see or what is packaged in a press release.

As a taxpayer, you are entitled to know who is spending your money and on what. And you have the right to learn this unen-cumbered by a government agency’s tax-

paid public relations staff, whose best inter-est calls for putting that government entity in the most favorable light.

Our goal is not simply to put govern-ment officials and their actions in the best light. Nor in the worst light. Rather, we want to put them in the light.

We do this is by asking questions, lots of them. That’s the only way to get answers.

Who, what, where, when, why, how?While at times these questions may

make some people feel unfairly scrutinized, asking these questions doesn’t mean we are taking sides. Instead, we ask questions to find out all sides of an issue.

Before a single question is asked, though,

we must find out that a potential story is brewing. That’s where the phone calls come into play, sometimes from our readers, oth-er times from sources like city or police of-ficials. Sometimes it’s not a phone call, but an email that sparks our interest. Still other stories are the product of a journalist’s ob-servations and curiosity.

Then, the questions. They start with a re-porter and various sources, but they don’t end there.

After a story is written and turned in, editors often question reporters. Can you double-check this fact or this number? Can you get an additional source?

After that, editors might question each other. What do you think of this sentence? Is that the best “play,” or page, for the story? Does the headline give an accurate descrip-tion of the article?

A question I always ask myself after read-ing a reporter’s story: “Is the article fair?”

What does it mean to be “fair?” The dic-tionary has several definitions, but I like how the issue of fairness was tackled by a couple of veteran journalists. In their book

“Elements of Journalism: What Newspeople Should Know and the Public Should Ex-pect,” Tom Rosenstiel and Bill Kovach wrote the following:

“Fairness should mean the journalist is being fair with the facts, and to a citizen’s understanding of them. It should not mean, ‘Am I being fair to my sources, so that none of them will be unhappy?’ ”

In short, we shouldn’t be afraid to dis-please some people as long as we are confi-dent in our facts and have pursued all sides of a story.

Readers, reporters, editors — I’d like to think we all prefer a certain type of story. The one about the game-winning hit, or the home that volunteers built for a veteran, or the dog who saved a child’s life. These are the stories that make people feel better about their community and the world.

But not every story can be that.

Luckily, all the leaves are brownAutumn leaves. I wish it wouldn’t. I wish

it would stay here all year. I don’t get sea-sonal depression in autumn and winter. I get seasonal inspiration at this time of year.

I don’t humbug the darker-earlier days, I humbug the sweltering summer, when mosquito soup is on the menu and both of us (the dachshund and I) are drooling. I see no benefit in the summer months, other than seeing my mail carrier, Phoebe, who wears a pith helmet.

Give me now until March 10*. The lawn mower is put away. Not only that, my neigh-bors have put away their lawn mowers too. I don’t hear the roar of Briggs & Strattons. And I can’t hear little children with their fingernails-on-a-chalkboard voices. It’s se-rene.

Don’t be telling me about snowblowers and snowplows. They come out maybe half a dozen days.

There’s apple cider. There is no better liquid. A sip immediately takes me back to touch football in Ann Arbor, wiping my nose on the sleeve of my dad’s too-big-for-me University of Michigan sweatshirt, and knocking the crap out of Don Portman be-fore he could reach the goal line that was marked with an old pumpkin.

Walking in the snow you’ll hear a lovely crunch beneath your boots. Sure, my best friend Greg walked in the snow, fell, and had a spiral break of his right ankle. Don’t remind me.

OK. The dog refuses to go outside on his own at this time of the year. I see dogs play-ing in the snow. They take naps in the snow. They meet up and play poker in the snow. Not mine.

And, yes, they are few things more un-attractive than slush flying at your wind-shield.

But evenings at home couldn’t be better. I sit on the couch, I pull a blanket up, and re-read “Great Expectations.” I visualize Pip’s breath out there on the moors. And Es-tella baking a winter goose. And Joe cursing in the forge.

In the summer all I do is perspire. You can only take off so many clothes. But at this time of year we layer. Layer, lady, layer.

(Did you know that “Lay Lady Lay” is grammatically incorrect?)

I dearly love mornings right now. There

is not a sound in the house that I don’t cre-ate. I have the radio or a CD on the down-low. Sometimes I paint. At 4 in the morning I might be painting. I am on Walden Pond. In an Ansel Adams photograph. Hot coffee fills my nostrils. The smell of hot coffee fills my nostrils.

Adams did say, “Not everyone trusts paintings, but people believe photographs.” Phooey, Ansel-man. How hard is it to doctor a photograph? Some old crust of an actor can look like he’s chiseled again.

Let’s talk about sleds, Rosebud. Is there anything more emblematic of our youth and of good, good times? If a weathered baseball glove from your Little League days can bring a tear to your eye, so can your dear Flexible Flyer. I can still picture little Jimmy on the top of the hill with his sled, just before zooming down and falling into a hole in the ice.

We didn’t have cell phones back then, so Jimmy’s rescue took a while. I can still hear his teeth.

You may be saying, Smith, none of this sounds very appealing. I think it’s just the way you and I perceive things. Summer is easy. It’s more difficult to appreciate au-tumn and winter. I think the best friend-ships are the ones that take the most time to develop, the ones we have to work on.

From now until *Daylight Saving Time, the conditions assertively remind me that I am alive. I have to work on my relation-ship with these months because they work on me.

Garbage in, garbage out applies to mindsMaybe it is not just that we become

what we read, it’s more about the fact that we become what we read, hear, watch and believe.

If we buy into this theory, then we must also believe that this could be seen as both an opportunity and a problem.

The opportunity to grow personally and professionally through learning by reading, watching or listening to positive, informa-tive and educational content is ubiquitous. All we have to do is search the web for au-dio, video, or text-based information that can help us raise our game. I mean really, just hit your favorite search engine and type in motivational video, inspirational audio programs or positive attitude and you will have thousands of titles to choose from.

Of course one of my favorite websites for such information is www.candogo.com. The online library contains quick-hitting excerpts from more than 100 authors and experts and includes subject matter about leadership, motivation, sales skills, presen-tation skills, time management, work-life balance and so much more. You can even sign up for a free motivational tip of the day. If you find an author expert’s material motivating or informative, you can also be directed to their website to purchase the entire program.

We can also search for the top-selling business books and personal-development books and see what others are reading.

The opportunities for positive growth are endless, but unfortunately so are the problems. Because for every positive source

of personal and professional material there also exists outlets to media that can tear us down and de-motivate us. It may not seem like it at the time, but we really have to guard against what we allow to filter into our minds. If all we watch, listen to, observe or read is material that is filled with negativ-ity, there is a higher likelihood that we will start to become negative.

Although I still listen to positive pro-grams in my car or on my iPod, and watch motivating videos and speakers, my favor-ite source of personal and professional de-velopment material is reading. I typically rotate my reading between subject matter and content including faith, business, his-tory, biographical and motivational books. And then every once in a while I will read a fictional book or novel just to let my mind wander through the imagination of the au-thor. I find this helps my own creativity.

Adult, juvenile accused in drug case Police say search of pair turns up ecstasy, cocaine By Tom Munds tmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

Investigation of a suspected bur-glary led to the arrest of an adult and a juvenile on drug charges in Engle-wood.

Police were dispatched to the 4400 block of South Fox Street about 7 p.m. Nov. 10, after a report that a man ap-peared to be breaking into a house.

Offi cers investigated and talked to a 22-year-old man and a juvenile at the house. The adult said he lived at the house, had forgotten his keys, and was trying to get inside.

Police searched the two people, and reportedly found that the adult had 12.38 grams of a powder identi-fi ed as ecstasy and 8.3 grams of a pow-der that tested positive for cocaine.

The juvenile reportedly had two plastic bags containing white powder that tested positive for ecstasy and had a total weight of 4.12 grams.

The adult allegedly admitted to po-

lice that he had sold the ecstasy to the juvenile for $80.

Both suspects were arrested. The adult was taken to Arapahoe County Jail.

He could face charges of distribu-tion of a Schedule 1 controlled sub-stance and possession of a Schedule 2 controlled substance with intent to distribute.

The juvenile’s parents were noti-fi ed and he was taken to the Arapahoe County Juvenile Assessment Center. He could face charges of possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance.

Charter: Proposed school portrayed as option

said. “It is our goal to establish this school in Englewood.”

Questions from the audience in-cluded an inquiry about what hap-pens if the project doesn’t have 200 students when it is time to open.

Board member Randy DeHuff said if the school doesn’t have 200 students enrolled, it won’t open. He said the requirement is that the school will have 80 percent of the target number signed up by May or June.

The proponents added that plans are to advertise Englewood Academy in nearby areas and hopefully attract students who are on the lengthy wait-

ing lists to attend charter schools like Littleton Academy.

In response to a question about why there is a need for a charter school in Englewood, Matt Whipple said the desire is to offer an educational option for students.

“We know there are parents enroll-ing their students in school outside the district because Englewood’s test scores are low,” he said. “We are not looking to damage the district and we aren’t attacking the district. Actually, we will be a plus for the district be-cause traditionally charter school test scores are higher than public schools so it will raise district overall scores.”

When it was time for members of

the audience to make comments to the school board, Dana Murhree said she is a strong supporter of charter schools.

“I am a mom of two students who attended charter school in Monu-ment,” she said. “I believe charter schools are great through the eighth grade, but I don’t favor charter high schools. We live here now and my two children are in Englewood schools. I will say charter school prepared them well for entering classes here.”

Englewood resident Tena Prang then commented that, while options are good, she is concerned that the charter school’s proposed budget doesn’t work.

Charter continues from Page 1

and then take it to the federal level.“We need to show that people

all over the nation can have an in-creased quality of life, and that these treatments are cost-effective and can save a lot of money,” she said. “I’m no longer taking narcotics. I’m work-ing full-time, contributing to society and I’m able to exercise now, go rock climbing, hand cycle.”

The program is set up to last for

two and a half years, which, as Hin-ton Leichtle points out, allows peo-ple to really see the benefi ts of alter-native treatments without having to give up on them after two months because they can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs.

“I think we all realize that things need to shift, and this is one of those ways that we can start shifting,” said Jan Ruscio, an acupuncturist from Highlands Ranch who will see pro-gram patients at Progressive. “We

could really all start saving money as a nation by using less pharmaceuti-cals and having less doctor visits.”

The pilot program is limited to spinal cord patients who are resi-dents of Douglas, Arapahoe, Denver, Adams or Jefferson counties.

Jolly old elf arrives at SouthGlennTree-lighting ceremony draws crowd including Santa ClausBy Deborah Grigsbydgrigsby@ourcoloradonews.com

Twinkling lights, live entertainment and, of course, a visit from the season’s biggest celebrity packed holiday well-wishers into Commons Park for the fourth annual tree-lighting ceremony at The Streets at South-Glenn.

Arriving by horse-drawn carriage, Cen-tennial Mayor Cathy Noon joined Santa Claus center stage Nov. 16 to light the cen-ter’s 25-foot Colorado Christmas tree and officially welcome the holiday shopping season.

And of course, Santa’s got an app for that, lighting the entire park via a special gi-ant iPhone, only available to certain North Pole residents.

A brief Main Street parade around Com-mons Park featured local civic leaders and the big brass sound of the Arapahoe High

School marching band.Live reindeer were also on display

throughout the evening.

“We really look forward to this event each year, and it’s nice that it happened be-fore Thanksgiving,” said Tony Allen of Little-

ton. “This is such a better atmosphere than some of the other, more crowded malls.”

The Streets again are home to The Cube, one of Colorado’s few outdoor ice skating rinks, which will be open through Feb. 3. Admission prices are $7 for adults, $4 for children 4-12 years of age and free for kids 3 and younger. There is a $3 charge for skate rental.

“We’re from New York, and I always en-joyed skating outdoors as a kid, and this is just the greatest thing,” said Miriam Ramirez. “This could be a new family tradi-tion.”

Santa will be at The Streets though Dec. 24 in the Guest Services area. Visitors are encouraged to bring their own cameras for photographs.

“It’s never too early to start celebrating Christmas,” said Centennial resident Brit-tany Nidy. “Never.”

More information about The Streets at SouthGlenn’s holiday programs, Santa’s schedule, as well as hours for The Cube Ice Rink can be found online at www.shop-southglenn.com.

Where were you born?Ontario Oregon

How long have you lived in the area?19+ Years

What do you like most about it?I love Colorado. � e people, the activities, the weather –

Colorado is a beautiful state. It has so much to o� er all year round. I enjoy doing activities with my family to include swimming, hiking, skiing, running and generally appreciating what our great state has to o� er. I have two daughters and can-not imagine a better place to raise them.

How long have you worked in real estate?8+ Years with over 20 years in professional sales and market-

ing experience.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the peo-ple you work with?

My passion is to � nd people their perfect home when rep-resenting a buyer and thorough information combined with consistent communication when representing the seller. I love piecing together the ideal neighborhood and location with a

fabulous home that meets my clients’ needs. I have extensive knowledge and connections within di� erent neighborhoods and o� en know of homes that will be coming on the market before they are available to the public. When representing ei-ther a buyer or a seller communication, a strong knowledge of contracts and ability to successfully negotiate the terms of the contract is paramount to my success in real estate.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Whether representing a buyer or seller, real estate transac-

tions can be stressful for clients. Communication and avail-ability are so important. I pride myself on responding within 20-30 minutes. � is is not always easy but it is my promise to my clients.

What do you most enjoy doing when you are not working?I have a wonderful family, which includes a supportive hus-

band, two delightful teenage daughters and two labrador re-trievers. I most enjoy spending time with them.

What is one tip you have for someone looking to sell a house?

My one tip is to � nd an agent that you trust and feel will rep-resent you with integrity and professionalism. O� en you will want to interview several agents, � nd out what sets them apart from other agents, how/why they are successful, what is their marketing plan, how well do they know your market.

What is the one tip you have for someone looking to buy a house?

I would say again, be certain you have an agent that you trust and feel will represent you with integrity and professionalism. You will be spending lots of time with the agent and want to be certain they are knowledgeable in di� erent markets and able to help you decide what neighborhood � ts your needs best, what location is ideal and ultimately � nd your perfect home.

What is the most unusual thing you have encountered while working in real estate?

I don’t think I have “one thing” that stands out. I feel each transaction is unique and each individual’s needs are unique. I work with each client to determine what it is that they are looking for and how I am able to successfully create that out-come.

Q: My understanding is rental vacancies are decreasing and rental rates are in-

creasing. I’ve also heard that housing prices have hit bottom, are starting to increase and interest rates are at 60-year lows. Is it better to rent or own?

A: You are correct that vacancies are very low and that will continue to impact

rental rates. � ese factors are driven by the number of people who have lost homes or can’t purchase homes given the tighter lend-ing environment.

You are also correct that housing prices in many areas of Colorado are starting to show month-to-month and year-over-year increas-es as inventory of homes available for sale has dropped from about 25,000 to around 10,000. And interest rates, driven by Federal Reserve e� orts, a sluggish economy and uncertainty in Europe, are at or near 60-year lows.

Given this environment, the mathemat-ics are in favor of purchasing. If someone rented a home today at $1,200 per month and

rent increases by 3 percent per year, a person would spend over $680,000 for housing over 30 years and own nothing.

A person who purchases a home for $200,000 today with a 30-year � xed mort-gage would have payments of about $1,200 per month, which maybe tax deductible, and except for increases in taxes and insurance, would remain constant for 30 years.

Payments over the 30 years would prob-ably be less than $500,000, resulting in sav-ings of over $180,000 compared to renting.

And that house, if it appreciated at 3 percent per year, would be worth $485,000. Total dif-ference—over $665,000 in favor of owning.

If you’re looking to purchase or re� nance, seek an experienced, trustworthy, � nancially savvy lender you can meet face-to-face who has access to the full spectrum of loan pro-grams. Work with them to select the proper loan program and have them customize the loan to best suit your needs.

For more information on how you can purchase or re� nance a home, please contact

Randy Spierings, branch manager for Primary Residential Mortgage Inc., at 303-256-5748 or rspierings@primeres.com.

Primary Residential Mortgage is A-plus rated by the Better Business Bureau and win-ner of multiple Gold Star awards. � ey are located at 9800 Pyramid Court, No. 400 in Englewood. � ey o� er a 100-percent satis-faction guarantee and will give you $500 at closing if they don’t meet or exceed your ex-pectations.

Diamond devotion set in stone

Bling king Steve Rosdal retired from Hyde Park Jewelers a few years back, but he was itching to get in the biz in some capacity.

Now he has opened SHR Jewelry As-sociates at 231 Milwaukee St. in Cherry Creek North. Rosdal’s new business spe-cializes in diamond acquisitions from pri-vate individuals and dealers.

He will also be purchasing and selling estates and previously owned fine watch-es, precious metals and jewelry.

Rosdal started his career in the jewelry business in 1973 and built extensive expe-rience in fine timepieces, diamonds and fine jewelry. “I am excited to get back to the aspects I love most about the jewelry industry,” Rosdal said.

The office of SHR Jewelry Associates is not the typical retail jewelry store. It has a small showroom, but most of its sales will come from the personalized service that Rosdal and director Jourdan Block offer.

Through his connections in the jewelry community, Rosdal is able to source spe-cific pieces, whether watches or fine jew-elry, for his customers.

SHR Jewelry Associates is open by ap-pointment only by calling 720-379-6505 or by contacting Rosdal at steve@ste-verosdal.com.

More Tebow timeFormer Broncos quarterback Tim

Tebow, who now plays for the Jets, has signed a deal to be the “spokesmodel” for TiVo, the TV recording device.

According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, “the 25-year-old athlete will spread the gospel of TiVo via a social me-dia and national advertising campaign, including a series of TV commercials,” the company said. “TiVo will also offer a ‘Tim Tebow Zone’ listing Tebow’s favorite shows, movies and recommendations for kids’ programming.”

“I had no idea how great TiVo was until I started using it,” Tebow said in a state-ment last week. “I was blown away by the TiVo experience — it was so much more than I thought. With always being on the road, I love having the ability to find ex-actly what I am looking for and watch it anywhere, any time.”

Tebow can add TiVo to his endorse-ment roster, which includes Jockey In-ternational, Nike and FRS Healthy Per-formance energy drinks. You can read the rest of the story at www.hollywoodre-porter.com/news/tim-tebow-lands-tivo-endorsement-390393.

Bo�o Bender’sBender’s Bar and Grill at 10710 West-

minster Blvd. in Westminster has been taken over by former Denver Post sports columnist Jim Amstrong, along with res-taurant-partner veterans Rich Salturel-li, who owns City Pub at Yosemite and Hampden, Chris Fuselier, owner of The Blake Street Tavern, and CU Boulder sports information director Dave Plati.

Armstrong, who never met a sports subject he didn’t like to debate, will be on site four to five days a week to chat and ar-gue with customers. But his new passion is this sports bar with 26 big-screen TVs, including two on the patio.

‘Bucket list’ trip a wild timePhoto safari in Kenya an unforgettable experience for journalistBy Tom Mundstmunds@ourcoloradonews.com

The decision to satisfy a “bucket list” item and take a photo safari in Ke-nya proved to be a good one as the

two-week trip exceeded all my expecta-tions.

Part of the success of the trip was the decision to book the safari for my daugh-ter and me though Kensington Tours.

The company representative tailored the trip to our schedule and we spent 12 days in the field, with just our driver/guide in the van with us.

When my daughter and I arrived in Ke-nya on Oct. 28, culture shock came early when we moved into Nairobi traffic that was a nightmare on steroids.

Traffic signals seemed to be out all the time, so it was a constant case of four or five drivers working to get in the flow of vehicles on a two-lane road.

Many times, I figured another coat of paint and the entire side of the van would be demolished.

But our driver was an absolute magi-cian as he maneuvered through the traffic jams without incident.

The first full day in Kenya ushered in new and amazing experiences. We visited a sanctuary dedicated to saving an endan-gered species of giraffe and my daughter kissed one of them.

The next stop was the elephant or-phanage, where we saw keepers bottle-feeding young elephants ranging from a baby only weeks old to a couple that were 3 or 4 years old.

There was a stop at the chimpanzee rescue sanctuary and my daughter got to feed a rhino. The final stop of the day was a thriving business making beaded jew-elry.

What made it special was the business was started to provide employment for two single mothers.

Now there are 350 single mothers and young women just out of school with no

job experience turning out beautiful jew-elry and filling orders that are sent to dis-tributors around the globe.

Out in the fieldThe next day, Nairobi was in the rear

view mirror as we began the first of 12 days in the field, traveling the narrow dirt roads of national parks where millions of animals roamed free.

Because hunting of any type is illegal in Kenya and we were in national parks,

A male lion settles down to survey his kingdom in the Samburu National Park in Kenya. Photos by Tom Munds

Maasai warriors preform a dance welcoming visitors to their camp in the a Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. The Maasai don’t hunt but gather meat from their huge herds of cattle and goats.

Left, The baby tags along with momma elephant as they move down the road in Laikpia and the Pejeta Conservance near Mount Kenya. The animals are accustomed to vehicle tra�c and ignore vans and go on their way. Right, A gira�e pauses among the brush on the Samburu National Park in Kenya to check out the tourist taking his picture. Animals roam free and unafraid because all hunting is banned in Kenya.

Africa continues on Page 19 Parker continues on Page 18

the animals were unafraid and it wasn’t unusual to have an elephant grazing by the side of the road undis-turbed by the fact the van was 10 to 15 feet away.

The trip showed the different aspects of the Kenyan terrain. Our first stop was quarters at Samburu National Park at an altitude of 5,700 feet.

A four-hour drive the next day and we were at a park at about 700 feet.

Daily, we saw herds of different members of the antelope family, like the Thompson gazelle and the im-pala.

There were wildebeests by the thousands and zebras were plentiful.

A turn in the road might provide sighting of a herd of elephants or a group of giraffes peacefully eating the leaves of the thorny arcadia tree.

Daily we were also on the lookout for elusive animals like lions, chee-tahs and leopards.

Thus, each day was an adventure as we traveled the roads seeking to get the opportunity to take good photographs.

Even so, a couple good photos were missed because I was so fasci-nated by the beauty of the animals he didn’t focus and click the shutter.

That didn’t happen with the male lion that seemed almost on cue to come out of the brush, lie down and survey his kingdom undisturbed by the van just 25 feet away.

“I’m a card-carrying wing junkie, so I made it a point to have awe-some wings,” Armstrong said. And he wasn’t wrong. On a recent taste test, Mr. On the Town and I were pleasantly pleased with the menu selections. We sampled wings of all sorts, brat burgers, sweet Ital-ian sausage, honey bourbon brats, cheddar brats, beer brats, spicy chicken Italian sausage, extremely spicy Polish sausage and regular brats boiled in beer and spices, plus bottomless baked beans and home-made chips.

If you’re watching your waistline, you can wash it all down with a Diet Pepsi. But the sports-bar enthusi-asts will likely enjoy the selection of 16 beers on tap along with $1.99 for Coors, Coors Light and Miller Lite all day every day, plus a “boatload of microbrews on tap”.

Overlooking the green rink at the Ice Centre you can catch some fun local hockey games or enjoy the great patio overlooking the Prom-enade Fountain.

Aspen advancesAspen reached the top of the

chart at $1,235 per square feet, ac-cording to a new study analyzing the home building costs (looking both at construction and overall project costs) for the top luxury winter vacation destinations in the

U.S.. The study was released recent-ly by Chris Pollack, president of Pollack+Partners, a high-net-worth design/build cooperative

The study said that Aspen came in fi rst while Whistler, British Co-lumbia, scored on the low end at $715 per square foot.

The study identifi ed seven win-ter vacation destinations and com-pared the cost to build a custom estate on a per-square-foot basis. Telluride ranked third at $1,138 per square foot and Vail came in at No. 5 at $910 per square foot.

“Our study offers insight into … spending trends in some of the most desirable ski resorts in North America,” Pollack said. “In addition to construction costs, our analysis accounts for overall project costs, which many clients discount or do not acknowledge when establishing or discussing the budget. … The top segment of the market tends to be less susceptible to fl uctuations in the real estate market and the over-all economy … .”

A four-hour drive the next day and we were at a park at about 700 feet.

Daily, we saw herds of different members of the antelope family, like the Thompson gazelle and the im-pala.

There were wildebeests by the thousands and zebras were plentiful.

A turn in the road might provide sighting of a herd of elephants or a group of giraffes peacefully eating the leaves of the thorny arcadia tree.

Daily we were also on the lookout for elusive animals like lions, chee-tahs and leopards.

Thus, each day was an adventure as we traveled the roads seeking to get the opportunity to take good photographs.

Even so, a couple good photos were missed because I was so fasci-nated by the beauty of the animals he didn’t focus and click the shutter.

That didn’t happen with the male lion that seemed almost on cue to come out of the brush, lie down and survey his kingdom undisturbed by the van just 25 feet away.

Another rare photo came when we saw a young male cheetah in the brush.

The animal was moving around and gave chase and pounced on a large mouse.

Surprising soundsEvenings were spent in nice quar-

ters with all the modern amenities.However, we were still in Africa,

and at Sopa Samburu we were awak-ened about 5:30 a.m. and warned that there were elephants in the courtyard.

One of the beasts was about 50 yards away. It was apparently up-set when the lights came on and

knocked down a large tree before storming off into the brush.

The influence of our country was evident at the Sweetwater Lodge where I heard what sounded like a recording of Willie Nelson singing, “On the Road Again.” However, fur-ther investigation showed it was a young Kenyan singer doing the song in perfect pitch and rhythm.

All the new experiences made it seem like we were in Kenya for a long time but, in another way, the time just flew by, so all too soon it was time to get on an airplane to return home with a head full of great mem-ories and about 1,400 pictures to go through.

Sun Devils one win away Franklin’s big day propels Kent Denver into Class 2A championship game By Daniel P. Johnson djohnson@ourcoloradonews.com

ENGLEWOOD - Jaden Franklin is fast, elusive and at times, powerful.

He’s also a smart young man.After zipping around the Justin DeSor-

rento Memorial Field for 319 yards and fi ve touchdowns against No. 4 Florence in a 42-16 Class 2A state semifi nal victory that moved No. 1 Kent Denver within a game of its fi rst state championship since 1991, Kent Denver’s super-sophomore knew who to thank for his big day.

“The (offensive) line played amazing. That’s all I can say about that,” Franklin said.

Kent Denver (12-0) will host No. 7 Platte Valley (10-2) in the 2A Championship game at 1 p.m. Nov. 24.

“I’m very excited. I want this (stadium) to be packed,” Franklin said. “It’s going to be fun, and I can’t wait to play Platte Val-ley. We played them once (46-14 victory in Week One) and they’re a much-better team since then. It should be a great game.”

Franklin, who scored on runs of 68, 4 and 1 yards in the fi rst half to guide the Sun Devils to a 21-7 halftime lead, said persis-tence was key against the Huskies defense.

“A senior last year, Bailey Tills, told me that in games like this, people will stop you,” Franklin said. “It’s OK; just keep pounding the ball, keep running downhill and (big plays) will be there.”

A big play opportunity presented it-self early in the second half as on the sec-ond play from scrimmage in third quarter, Franklin a handoff and in a blink of eye, darted 68 yards down the fi eld for a touch-down that put the Sun Devils up 28-7.

“If you can get him a seam, he knows what to do with it,” Kent Denver coach Scott Yates said. “Our (line) did a good job of cre-ating those holes for him.”

Kent Denver’s Cole Poyfair recovered the

ensuing kickoff on the Florence 30-yard-line and four plays later, fullback Brannon Jones rumbled in from two yards out to push the advantage to 35-7.

Yates, whose team was knocked out of the 2011 playoffs in the semifi nals by Flor-ence, but defeated the Huskies 41-6 in the regular season, said the game could’ve gone a number of different ways.

“If this game would have been 35-32, it wouldn’t have surprised me,” Yates said. “I think we defensed them pretty well when we needed to and the offense kept putting points up. The turnover they had in the fi rst half allowed us to run that two-minute drill

and score.“That really helped propel us and prob-

ably put a bit of a damper on them.”Kent Denver quarterback Joey Mata-

razzo passed for 85 yards and Matt Petty-john had a reception for 33 yards and also returned an interception 30 yards. Trevon Hamlet led the team with 12 tackles.

“I think it’s a great thing that we get to host (a state championship game) here,” Yates said. “We had earned it once before, but that was before we had this fi eld. So, we had to play the state championship at someone else’s fi eld; we rented Sheridan High School’s fi eld for that, back in ‘91.”

Midwest Sled Hockey League kicks o� season Six teams take part in Nov. 16-18 tournament at Edge Ice Arena

By Tom Munds tmunds@ourcoloradone-ws.com

Even though the Na-tional Hockey League is idled by a labor dispute, the Colorado Avalanche faced off against familiar foes like the St. Louis Blues and the Chicago Black-hawks Nov. 16-18 at the Edge Ice Arena.

But no players were standing on skates be-cause the games were part of the opening weekend of the Midwest Sled Hockey League.

All the players in the tournament were physi-cally challenges and some arrived in wheelchairs. But that didn’t keep them off the ice as they took part in the games in specially de-signed sleds.

The sleds are equipped with adjustable blades mounted under the seat, and the sledder has two short hockey-style sticks. One end is a hockey stick blade to handle the puck the other end is blunt and the player uses that end to move along the ice.

Centennial resident Co-rey Fairbanks, a veteran sled hockey player, is a member of the Colorado Avalanche Sled Hockey Team.

Fairbanks is a 1989 Arapahoe High School graduate who was all state football player and played football at the University of Nebraska was looking for a challenging sport in 1995 when he saw a sled hockey report on TV.

“I called a couple guys who were playing and

they invited me to join the team,” the Craig Hospital alumni said. “I came out and, in the fi rst game I got checked into board and it took 20 stitches to close the gash in my chin and that convinced me this game is what I wanted to do.”

He said, in 1995, it was fi ve adults on the ice at 5 a.m. It has grown by leaps and bounds. Now there are dozens adults playing sled hockey and there are 40 kid playing on the Avalanche youth hockey program.

“We saw more adults joining us but, in 2001 when I took over the pro-gram, my fi rst priority was to start a youth sled hockey program,” he said.

“After all, all the adults were getting older and, to sustain the program, we had to develop a youth program providing kids an opportunity to learn the game and to compete all year. Right now, we have one of the largest youth programs in the country.”

The Nov. 16-18 tourna-ment kicked off the season for the league that includes the Avalanche, Blues, Blackhawks, the San Anto-nio Rampage and a team of unaffi liated players.

“We are one of several sled hockey teams across the country,” Fairbanks said. “We have a North-east League, an Ohio Valley League and a new Florida league.”

He said a recent NHL Sled Classic with 14 teams,

including 12 affi liated with NHL teams.

“We became affi liated with the Avalanche in 1996 and it had taken off so just about every NHL organiza-tion is sponsoring a sled hockey program,” he said.

Fairbanks said his team gets an annual grant from the Avalanche, allows them to wear authentic Ava-lanche gear and allows the team to have meetings and occasionally use the ice at the a Pepsi Center.

There are 15 players on the Avalanche team, in-cluding two members of the National Sled Hockey Team.

Also, the Avalanche is the defending national sled hockey champions. The American National Team also is the defending Paralympics sled hockey champions.

“This is one of the fast-est growing sports for physically challenged in-dividuals,” Fairbanks said. “It continues to grow and what I would like to see is see creation of collegiate sled hockey programs like there are for wheelchair basketball players.”

Fairbanks said the

weekend tournament was the fi rst time for many of the Avalanche players as they fi nished 1-3.

“There is no lack of tal-ent on our team,” he said. “But so many of our guys are new to the team and not used to playing togeth-er that it really shows when we played teams that have been playing together for a couple years. We’ll get bet-ter every time on the ice as we get the ice time playing as a team.”

The Avalanche has a board of directors and sev-eral members of the board played an exhibition game against the Avalanche youth team.

Board member Jon Carl-son, Denver Broncos busi-ness develop manager, said his fi rst time playing sled hockey was fun and it was challenging.

“I haven’t had this much fun in a long time,” he said after the game.

“Those kids are amaz-ing. They skated circles around me. Playing sled hockey is physically chal-lenging and I already have some aching muscles but it was worth it because it was a great experience.”

Class 2A State ChampionshipNo. 7 Platte Valley (10-2) @ No. 1

Kent Denver (12-0), 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24

Gameplan: These two teams opened the 2012 season against one another. Back on Aug. 31, the Sun Devils rolled the Broncos, 46-14. Now, they’ll close the 2012 season out, with the winner earning the Class 2A state championship. Kent Denver is seek-ing its first title since 1991. The Bron-cos, winners of five straight, are led by dual-threat quarterback, Logan Sitzman. Just a junior, Sitzman has thrown for more than 2,000 yards with 20 touchdowns. He’s also gained 1,471 yards rushing with another 21 scores. Daniel Frantz (31 catches, 468 yards, four touchdowns) and Adam Bethal (29-523-6) are Sitzman’s main receiv-ing targets. Defensively, Caleb Creech leads Platte Valley with 105 tackles.

Bottom line: If Kent Denver plays defense the way they did against Flor-ence in its 42-16 victory, they stand a very strong chance of winning the game. Sophomore running back Jaden

Franklin gained over 300 yards and scored five touchdowns for the Sun Devils last week, so expect him to receive plenty of attention from the Broncos defense.

Class 5A Semi�nalNo. 4 Valor Christian (10-2) vs. No.

1 ThunderRidge (11-1), 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 23 at Shea Stadium

Gameplan: It’s a battle of Highlands Ranch-area schools as Valor Christian stands just two games from its fourth-straight state championship, and first-ever 5A state title. The Eagles have won 10-straight games and rolled Arapahoe 49-18 in the quarterfinals behind a 295-yard (108 receiving), six-touchdown game from junior Chris-tian McCaffrey. ThunderRidge will try and keep the Eagles’ high-powered offense off the field by deploying its multi-faceted rushing attack. The Grizzlies have had to work hard to get to the semifinals, but close wins over Centennial League foes Cherry Creek and Grandview are nothing to scoff at.

Bottom line: Expect a big crowd at Shea Stadium, so plan on arriving early to find a parking space and to get a seat. ThunderRidge, if they find success early with its running game, could be the team to finally slow down Valor Christian by simply keeping the Eagles’ offense off the field. The Griz-zlies will need to value ball control and limit big plays from a Valor Christian offense that has proven it can score on any play.
