Sewer rates to rise4 percent increases set for next three yearsBy Tom [email protected]

Sewer rates will rise 4 percent in each of the next three years for Englewood cus-tomers after the Englewood City Council unanimously approved the fee increases at the Nov. 19 meeting.

For 2012, the typical residential custom-er paid $219 a year for sewer service. When the first of the three rate increases begins in 2013 it will raise the average annual rate to $227, and in 2014, the yearly rate will go up to $236.87. The final 4 percent raise in 2015 will raise the average annual fee to $246.35.

“We presented the need for a rate in-crease to the Englewood Water and Sewer Board in order to cover operating expenses, maintain adequate reserves and make pay-ments on bonds we plan to sell,” said Stu Fonda, utilities director. “After considering a number of possible rate increases, board members recommended enacting a 4 per-cent rate increase in 2013, 2014 and 2015.”

Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward, a water and sewer board member, said there was no

Council honors calendar artistsCity publication made up of works from studentsBy Tom [email protected]

Families and friends filled most of the seats Nov. 19 as the Englewood City Coun-cil honored the 15 young artists whose works were selected for next year’s calen-dar.

“For each of the last 12 years, Engle-wood has used artwork created by students who go to school or live in Englewood for its calendars,” Mayor Randy Penn said. “Selecting the winners was a difficult task because there were so many good entries.”

He said he wanted to thank the parents and the art teachers who helped make the calendar art contest such an annual suc-cess.

The contest is popular and often draws

more than 100 entries. The entries are turned over to a panel of judges, made up of members of the Englewood City Coun-cil, the Englewood Cultural Arts Commis-sion and members of other art-related or-ganization.

The field is narrowed down to 50 top entries and the finalists are selected from that group.

Each artist was honored individually. The student was greeted by council mem-ber and given his or her framed artwork along with tickets to any of the concerts held at Hampden Hall.

The calendars are free and are available at the Englewood Recreation Center, the Englewood Library and the Malley Senior Recreation Center.

Meeting to focus on school changeChenango site will become campus for alternative highBy Tom [email protected]

Englewood School District is holding a town meeting at 6 p.m. Dec. 4 to discuss the project that will transform Englewood Mid-dle School into a new home for Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School.

The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the auditorium of Englewood Middle School, 300 W. Chenango St.

The tentative agenda includes discus-sion of plans for the renovation of the inside of the building and changes to the outside of the building.

Plans also are to detail the timelines for the project, construction hours, safety and parking.

The work at the middle school building will be a $16 million project funded by $8 million from the voter-passed bond issue and an $8 million state grant.

“This work at the middle school fits in with project underway to construct a sev-enth- through 12th-grade campus on the current Englewood High School site,” said Brian Ewert, school superintendent. “When the campus on the Englewood High School site is completed, the middle school stu-dents will move there and the makeover of the middle school building will create a new home of Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School.”

Ewert said the outside of the build-ing will be spruced up, but about the only major change is that the entrance will be moved from its present location on the north side of the school facing Chenango Street to the west side of the school facing

Bargain-hunters deal with crowdsLong wait worth it for many on Black FridayBy Tom [email protected]

Traditionally, Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, when stores open early and of-fer specials to attract custom-ers.

However, stores like Walmart, Sears and Toys ‘R’ Us

began their Black Friday sales at 8 p.m. Thursday.

Apparently, the 8 p.m. start appealed to a lot of people, as parking was at a premium at the Englewood Walmart store and there was a steady parade of people headed through the doors just after 8 p.m. Nov. 22.

Bryan Pollard and his wife Sue smiled as they pushed a shopping cart to their car.

“It sure was crowded in there, but we found what we were looking for and saved

some money,” Bryan said. “I got the cordless power drill I needed and saved about $30 and we saved some money on clothes we planned to buy soon anyway. It was a bit of a hassle but it was worth it.”

A few miles away at The Streets at Southglenn, Best Buy

kept its tradition and didn’t open until midnight. People started lining up early in the day and, by about 9 p.m. Nov. 22, more than 100 people were in line, seeking to get in on the

EDUCATING TO GLORIFY GOD

Cemetery care isn’t grave undertaking The first time Steve Engle ventured

into the cemetery, the weeds and grass reached his shoulders. Thorny bushes grabbed at his clothes and twisted over the stones, muffling the past buried beneath.

But as Engle uncovered first one stone marker, then another, unremembered stories began to whisper.

He listened.And they touched his heart.“Simply because you’re dead doesn’t

mean you should be forgotten,” said Engle, 64, as he gazed at the simple stone of Joseph Chmura, a Korean War veteran. “These stories need to be told. Those buried here need to be honored.”

So Engle, a retired salesman who sees history’s footprints wherever he looks, has worked to do just that. It has become a labor of love and a way to chronicle the memoirs of the land around him.

“We all need to have a relationship to the land,” he said, looking out from the graveyard into peaceful Mount Vernon Canyon. “There’s significance in the land.”

The historic Rockland Community Church and Cemetery, built in 1879 and on the National Register of Historic Places, nestles against a quiet hillside minutes from the Lookout Mountain/Buffalo Bill exit off I-70. Slightly larger than a football field, the cemetery and its small, simple clapboard church with white peeling paint and green shutters are tucked between two private homes.

Engle, who lives minutes away in Genesee, first stumbled upon the cem-etery in 2008 during a work day with a men’s group from Rockland Community Church, whose modern-day incarnation sits just down the road. It took weeks to mow the brush and clear away the thorns enough to begin to understand

the importance of the narratives and lives that time and neglect had camou-flaged.

That same year, Engle began studying toward a master’s degree in public histo-ry at the University of Colorado-Denver. His thesis is to accurately measure and map the cemetery. That means finding and documenting graves, identifying them and providing each with “a proper obituary.”

So far, he has uncovered 144 graves — the first burial was in 1880, the most re-cent in 2010 — but he believes more are there, some maybe even under U.S. 40, which borders the top of the cemetery.

“People got sick, people died, they didn’t know where to take the bodies,” he said of the early years. “They dropped them off here. The ground was frozen, you couldn’t dig a hole. They tagged ’em and dropped them off and went on their way.”

Engle’s care has transformed the cemetery.

Now you see the markers, once hid-den under the brush, jutting from the ground beneath the Ponderosa pine. Simple white crosses. Gray and white marble headstones with precisely formed inscriptions. Red granite with names scratched on by hand. He has added American flags to the graves of all veterans — from the Spanish-American

War to the Korean War — and purple, yellow and blue plastic flowers to every marker. The graves are grouped by fami-lies, many of whose roots run deep in the area. More than a church cemetery, it is a community cemetery.

All the while, Engle has listened.On this day, he sits on the edge of

Charles Delaware Kemper’s grave and picks up a smooth, lined copper-colored rock. Kemper, in his early 30s according to the stone marker, died in 1994. Engle found the rock when he was clearing the grave. The marker reads: “You gave us love and laughter and taught us the meaning of hope and courage.”

“I always kept the rock with it so it wouldn’t get away from here.” He turns it over in his hands. “It’s a very touching memorial, and it’s interesting that when you go to a cemetery you find a lot of reference to laughter.”

Nearby stand a trio of white crosses, the only identification a small tag that says “Child of Bill Anderson.”

“They all died at the same time. My guess is a diphtheria epidemic.” Engle walks toward three more crosses that say only “Stomp child.” “You reflect on life and how hard it can be, and how hard it can be for all of us, I guess.”

The largest section belongs to the Ralston family, the area’s original pio-neers. Lucien Hunter Ralston, a Civil War veteran and Army scout, brought his family from Kentucky in 1879, hoping the Colorado air would help his wife’s severe asthma condition.

Engle stands by Ralston’s grave, which bears a U.S. and a state flag. “I put a Ken-tucky state flag out there for them.”

Some markers share more than just names, birth and death dates.

Engle stops before the grave of Wil-liam Keiper, whose stone depicts a cabin,

elk, pines and coyotes. “What was im-portant to this man was nature. He had his cabin out in the woods. He had a lot of game, the dove of peace, the howling of coyotes. … I’m sure he treasured that.”

Much has been accomplished since Engle took on the job of caretaker. He’s on his fourth push lawn mower from Home Depot. He doesn’t use a riding mower because he would run over, and possibly destroy, the markers and relics he regularly discovers.

But there is still much to do.Engle is hoping to use ground-pene-

trating radar to locate more graves and uncover the reasons for several ground depressions that pock the cemetery. Researching the lives of those buried is a consuming task. But he is happy to un-lock the mysteries in this small piece of ground. He doesn’t plan on walking away any time soon.

On a hot day, when he needs a shady spot to rest while he’s mowing, Engle usually heads over to World War II veteran Harry T. Lee’s grave under the juniper tree.

“I’ll talk to him.” He chuckles. “You have a tendency to talk to them when you’re working around them.”

But he also continues to listen.There are still so many stories left to

tell.

When completed, Steve Engle’s research will go to the Jefferson County Historical Archives. Anyone with information about the cemetery can reach Engle at [email protected] or 303-526-0893.

Inter-Faith seeks holiday sponsors About 200 needed to help families, seniors By Tom Munds [email protected]

Inter-Faith Community Services sent out an appeal for sponsors to provide Christ-mas gifts for needy families and seniors.

“Our goal is to provide gifts to 650 fami-lies and seniors,” said Maria Pearson, Inter-faith community relations director. “Right now, we need sponsors for 193 families and 24 seniors in order to reach our goal.”

The annual Inter-Faith program is to help needy families and seniors have a nicer holiday by providing gifts to go under the Christmas tree. However, like so many charitable organizations, Inter-Faith has seen the requests for assistance steadily in-crease while, at the same time, donations and the number of sponsors for projects like the Christmas program have declined.

But there is still time to help Inter-Faith reach its goal.

The system is simple. Each sponsor is provided with a profi le of a family that in-cludes name, age, clothing sizes, favorite colors and requested gifts. The sponsor also usually provides a supermarket gift certifi -cate to enable the family to buy the ingredi-ents to cook a holiday meal.

“Typically, sponsors spend an average of $50 per family member,” Pearson said. “The sponsor can select the family to help. The families on our list range from a single parent with one child to a family that is the parents and seven or eight children.”

The sponsors bring the gifts to the Inter-Faith offi ce at 3370 S. Irving St. for distribu-tion to the families. The goal is to have all the gifts distributed by Dec. 13.

Pearson said people can provide cash donations if they are busy and do not have time to do all the shopping.

She said the organization has some and the cash donations will be provided to su-per shoppers who enjoy helping the project by taking the list and hitting the stores look-ing for the best gifts for the money.

For information about the holiday gift program or to be a sponsor, call Pearson at 303-789-0501.

ENGLEWOOD POLICE BRIEFS

Two in trouble following � ghtBoth men involved in a fi ght could face

charges of assault.About 4:20 p.m. Nov. 22, offi cers went

to the 3500 block of South Pearl Street to investigate a resident’s report that two men were fi ghting and one of them had a knife.

Offi cers found two men arguing. The 44-year-old involved in the argument had several wounds that appeared to be caused by a knife.

He was taken to Swedish Medical Cen-ter, treated for his wounds and then given a summons for third-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

The other combatant, 34, was arrested. He was treated for a broken hand appar-ently received in the fi ght and then taken to Arapahoe County Jail.

He could face second-degree assault charges.

Stolen vehicle recoveredWhen an Englewood Police offi cer

stopped a driver for not stopping at the stop sign at South Elati Street and West Hampden Place about 2 a.m. Nov. 27, he checked and found the vehicle had been reported stolen in Federal Heights.

The offi cer arrested the 26-year-old driver for theft by receiving and several

traffi c violations. The report states the driver was unco-

operative. She was taken to the Englewood police station and placed in a holding cell.

When she was removed from the cell to be taken to Arapahoe County Jail, offi cers found a small bundle of cocaine.

The trip to the jail continued and now the woman also could face charges of possession of a Schedule II controlled substance.

Prescription charge possibleA King Soopers pharmacist called police

when a 35-year-old man tried to fi ll a fraudulent prescription.

The attempt happened about 8:45 p.m. Nov. 26 in the pharmacy of the King Soop-ers at 101 Englewood Parkway.

The 35-year-old attempted to fi ll a prescription 60 Roxicodone 30 milligram tablets.

The prescription was in a different name and the suspect had the Colorado identifi cation card for that name.

However, the pharmacist recognized the man because he was on an alert bulletin posted by King Soopers.

Police arrested the suspect and he was taken to Arapahoe County Jail. He could face charges of fraud and deceit.

Developer presents Flood site plan Apartments could replace former middle school

By Tom Munds [email protected]

Representatives of Bradbury Holding told the Englewood City Council that ap-proval of their rezoning request was essen-tial to their plans to redevelop the Flood Middle School property.

The presentation was made during the Nov. 19 public hearing on the zoning re-quest. The only other person to testify at the hearing was Bob Laughlin, president of the South Broadway Business Improve-ment District, who presented a letter from district representatives supporting the re-zoning and the project.

The city council listened to the public

hearing testimony and will vote on fi rst reading of the rezoning request at the fi rst meeting in January. If it passes with no ma-jor changes, it will come up for second and fi nal reading at the second meeting in Janu-ary.

The rezoning proposal was presented by Brook Bell of the community development department.

The developers then made their presen-tation. Edward Barsocchi, a principal part-ner in Bradbury Holding, said the team of traffi c specialists, architects and landscape designers has been working on the project for almost a year. He added that city depart-ments have worked with the developers to help resolve issues that arose.

“This is basically the same project we

presented to the city council in April,” Bar-socchi said. “However, we now are present-ing the project in a lot more detail.”

He said the fi rst order of business is rezoning the site from the current three zoning designations to a planned unit de-velopment. While current zoning would allow up to 164 units, the developers want to demolish the middle school building and construct an apartment complex. The plan was to have a maximum of 350 units, but the developers agreed to the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation to reduce the maximum number of apart-ments to 310.

The design is for two buildings, one on the Flood site and one on the adjacent ball fi eld. The concept is to design the buildings so all tenant parking is on the site.

Wood Partners was selected as contrac-tor for the project. He said it will be a green project with an effort to receive at least sil-

ver LEED (Leadership in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design) designation and possi-bly gold designation.

Plans are for there to be a number of amenities, including a pool, landscaped courtyards, a fi tness center, a cyber cafe and a bicycle shop.

Traffi c was a subject of discussion. Billy Harris explained the traffi c study his com-pany conducted, with the conclusion that no improvements are needed to surround-ing intersections to effi ciently handle the traffi c generated by the project

There was a question about the timeline for the project. Barsocchi said, if the rezon-ing is approved in January, the demolition of the Flood building should begin in the fi rst quarter of 2013 and should take 90 to 120 days. It is estimated it will take about 18 months to complete the project, with the fi rst tenants moving into apartments in the summer of 2014.

Sharpe tapped for two positions Group, governor choose commissioner for diff erent roles Staff report

Arapahoe County Commis-sioner Nancy Sharpe has been appointed by Colorado Coun-ties Inc. to serve on the state-wide Elder Abuse Taskforce and appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper to serve on the Colorado Executive Leader-ship Council on Child Welfare.

The Elder Abuse Taskforce was established this year by Senate Bill 12-078 to address protection issues related to el-derly, at-risk adults who may

be mistreated and exploited.

“It was an honor to be se-lected to serve on both these committees,” said Sharpe, who repre-sents District 2, which in-

cludes the cities of Centen-nial and Greenwood Village, a small portion of Aurora and unincorporated central Arapa-hoe County.

An Arapahoe County press release said task-force recom-mendations may lead to the implementation of a manda-tory reporting system by Sept. 1, 2013, subject to funding

availability.Sharpe also was appoint-

ed to the Colorado Executive Leadership Council on Child Welfare, which handles mat-ters related to protecting vul-nerable children and advanc-ing the state’s child protective services system.

The council advises the De-partment of Human Services regarding policy, budget and program issues.

The council also looks at matters involving Statewide Child Protective Services, out-of-home care and adoption, with a focus on prevention and early intervention to prevent entry and re-entry of children and families into the child pro-tective services system.

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

An important day in the season of giving At this time of year, you probably do not

need to be reminded of the adage “it’s bet-ter to give than to receive.”

Chances are, you’ve already made some headway on your holiday shopping list, perhaps starting on Black Friday, or even on Thanksgiving night. The spirit of giving is what propels these treks through malls and big-box stores. You’re buying gifts for loved ones and, as a bonus, helping to stimulate the economy.

But have you checked your list twice? For those of you in a fi nancial position to do so, we encourage you to add another name (or two) to that list — specifi cally that of your favorite nonprofi t organization. Con-

veniently, there is a day set aside for doing this. Thankfully, you won’t have to wait in any lines.

Colorado Gives Day is Dec. 4. Created in 2010 by Arvada-based Community First Foundation with the fi nancial support of FirstBank, the aim is to “increase philan-thropy in Colorado through online giving.” Touted as “24 hours to give where you live,” you can donate to your favorite nonprofi ts

at givingfi rst.org/cogivesday.Last year, $12.8 million was distributed

to 928 nonprofi ts, according to the Colo-rado Gives Day 2011 Giving Report, which can be found on the website. That dollar amount was a 46 percent increase over the inaugural event in 2010.

More than $2.5 million was donated last year between Arapahoe and Douglas coun-ties, places that are home to countless de-serving nonprofi ts.

The average donation last year was $237, but donations as small as $10 are accepted. A full 100 percent goes to the charities. And yes, your donation is tax-deductible.

The causes your money can help are

numerous, with more than 1,000 organiza-tions participating. Eligible nonprofi ts on the list include those dedicated to helping children, animals and the environment; those looking to fi ght various illnesses; those looking to enrich our communities through promoting the arts; and many, many more causes.

You can search through the list of non-profi ts on the website.

We believe you’ll fi nd Colorado Gives Day to be as easy and rewarding a way to give as you’ll fi nd this holiday season.

OUR VIEW

No, really, you shouldn’t have I imagine you are wondering what to get

me for the upcoming holiday. You are un-derstandably grateful for a year’s worth of humor and insight. We show our gratitude by buying something for someone they would never want, but as the saying goes, “It’s the thought that counts.”

That’s what I want you to get me: the thought. No actual objects.

If it is the thought that counts, you could get someone anything, oatmeal on a stick, lozenges, an X-Acto knife that didn’t come with a blade, and just say, “After all, it’s the thought that counts.”

Most people can’t give the right gift to save their souls. That’s why the gift card is a multi-billion-dollar idea.

Do you know anyone who looks a gift horse in the mouth? Well, now you know one more: me. If I were to open a gift, let’s say a polyester vest or season one of “Break-ing Amish,” I would hand it right back, with my fi ngers on my nose.

We like to make lists at this time of year: Best Film, Best Song, Best Ex-CIA Director Scandal. I have come up with a list of things I don’t want you to get for me. That should streamline your shopping by hours.

I do not want a gefi lte fi sh. First of all, there is no such thing. It’s more like a fi sh pudding. It’s boned carp or pike and it’s ground up into a virtual paste and made into quenelles, or fi sh balls. No thank you.

In fact. Let me save you a lot of trouble. I don’t want balls of any kind.

Don’t get me anything that you talk into. Or listen to. If you get me an iPhone, don’t bother me anymore.

Consider our bridge burned. It was probably a primitive suspension bridge to begin with.

No magazine subscriptions, joke sing-ing fi sh, or any kind of a novelty gift. It won’t pass “go,” it will go directly into the trash.

One year my 40-something sister showed up with a Cabbage Patch Kid. Which she put in my mother’s antique, child’s rocking chair. My sister put a doll-sized quilt over the doll’s legs. It made me sick.

I assume you know that malls atomize the atmosphere in all common areas at this

time of year with a scent that causes you to spend money recklessly. It’s a combination of a secret ingredient and the smell of scal-loped potatoes.

It can linger in the body for days, and it might explain why people actually line up on Black Friday to buy something with George Foreman’s name on it.

I have been looking a gift horse in the mouth since I was a kid. A relative bought me a fi gurine of a horse. I had no interest in fi gurines of anything, and I had no interest in horses. The gift was a double negative.

But I had been taught to be grateful. This was a mistake. I admired the horse and held it to the light.

Noting my delight, the relative would later buy me half a dozen fi gurines of hors-es for special occasions. Then I put my foot down.

The expression, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth,” comes from teeth. A horse’s teeth appear to become longer with age (you’ve heard “long in the tooth”) because their gums recede, exposing more tooth. If you were given a horse and inspected the teeth, it was considered ungrateful. Hell, yes!

I rarely receive gifts anymore. Which is fi ne with me. Unless you can give me the keys to a Porsche, don’t bother. Objects will not make my life better, or any different. They just need to be dusted. I would take brutally strong coffee. Certain dog treats.

The best gifts are good memories.

Journey isn’t all about destination “Are we there yet?” “How much farther

do we have to go?” “Can you please go fast-er?”

Anyone who has taken a long trip or car ride with anxious children or impatient adults has heard these questions before, and probably similar questions, comments, or complaints many times over. It seems that many people want to arrive at their destination without actually going through the journey. It’s like saying we want to win without playing the game. Where is the fun in that?

Whether they suffer from a need for in-stant gratifi cation or have a belief in tele-portation like “Beam me up Scotty,” they are missing everything that makes arriving at our destination worth the journey and all of the experiences that it took to get us there.

Could you imagine if the coin toss in a football game actually decided the out-come?

The players returning to the locker room, high-fi ving each other, and passionately talking about the way the referee fl ipped the coin, how it bounced on the turf, and how they were racked with nerves and ex-citement waiting for the heads or tails out-come.

That’s not how it works, right? They want to go back to the locker room a little bat-tered and bruised, muddy and sweaty, and talk about the amazing plays, big hits, and spirit of the game. They want to share in their experience the journey.

Would we really buy a season pass or lift ticket so that we could take the chairlift up and then immediately ride it back down? No way.

We want to feel the pull of gravity, the steepness of the hill, the snow under our feet as we ski or snowboard down the mountain. We want to set our edges, make sweeping turns, fl y through the powder, and maybe take in a few bumps along the way.

We want the journey of getting to the

bottom so that we can get back on the lift and share the stories of our last run with our friends on the chairlift and everyone who will listen at après ski at the end of the day.

While we are on our journey it is also im-portant that we will fail sometimes, we will have setbacks, and we will even lose some-times.

If I stick with the football analogy there hasn’t been an undefeated Super Bowl win-ner since 1972.

But 40 teams have won the champion-ship since then, all with losses on their re-cord.

And how many of us have caught an edge in the middle of great ski run and wiped out?

So on our journey and as we grow we must be willing to fail, just as long as we learn from the setback and keep moving in the direction of our destination.

Lastly, we need to have that destination clearly in our hearts and mind, because as we move towards our ultimate goal, we will reach mini-destinations along the way. It is kind of like aiming for the moon and hitting a star.

I would love to hear all about your jour-ney and your destination at [email protected] and I hope it will be a better than good week for each of you.

HERE COMES SANTA

Holiday Parade to step off Dec. 1 By Tom Munds t m u n d s @ o u rc o l o ra d onews.com

Strike up the band, it’s time for the Englewood Holiday Parade.

The parade entries will assemble on South Acoma Street and step off west on Englewood Parkway on Dec. 1 at 10 a.m.

“We have a few new en-tries this year,” Rosema-rie Cabral said. “We have some new fl oats and sev-eral “movie” cars like the Batmobile, and some cos-tumed “Star Wars” charac-ters will join us. The parade will wind up with Santa riding on the antique fi re truck. We’ll just hope for good weather so we can have a good time.”

The parade ends at the Englewood Civic Center, where a group will place a wreath at the Purple Heart Memorial located on the north side of the plaza’s cir-cular driveway.

Provided the weather is good, the driveway will be blocked off so the movie cars can be put on display.

Then, the focus will shift to the amphitheater where school groups will perform.

Thanks to an effort spearheaded by the Great-er Englewood Chamber of Commerce, the Englewood Holiday Parade was reborn in 2010, bringing back a holiday tradition that had been an annual communi-ty event for about 40 years.

The idea of resurrect-ing the Englewood parade was suggested by Cabral, a chamber board member.

She said the year she moved her business, Cut-tin’ Loose, into Englewood, the city had a lot of great stuff in mid-December like Santa arriving by light rail, the tree-lighting ceremony

and fi reworks from the city hall roof.

“I told all my customers about how much fun it was, then last year, they just threw a switch,” she said “I thought we should do more than that.”

The chamber adopted the suggestion, but it re-quired cooperation from the city and businesses.

There are printed hints of a holiday parade when Englewood became a city in 1903, but the fi rst news-paper report about a pa-rade was published in 1909.

History indicated Engle-wood’s parade would be

an annual event for a few years, there would be a few non-parade years, and then the parades would resume.

There was a sizable pa-rade as part of the fi rst Englewood Days held on Sept. 12, 1930, and there was a very special parade down Broadway that had been painted gold for the occasion on Englewood’s Golden Jubilee in 1953.

The parade that reap-peared in 1953 became as-sociated with a free pan-cake breakfast and was held annually until about 1960.

The most recent annual

Englewood Parade was started by the Cinderella City Merchants Association in the late 1960s.

The late November event was held to bring Santa to the mall. In the early 1970s, the merchants association announced they could no longer fi nan-cially support the parade. The city stepped in and took over planning and putting on the parade.

There was talk at the city of no longer having a parade in 1995, but there was a parade that year. The city’s concern was fi nan-cial, as reports indicated staff time and other ex-penses added up to more than $25,000 a year.

Starting that year there was an appeal for sup-port from residents and the business community. There were volunteers and some support, but the city was still paying most of the costs to put on the parade.

There was a parade in 2003 but city offi cials said there wouldn’t be a parade in 2004 if there wasn’t ma-jor support for the project, and one wasn’t held until 2010.

It’s ‘Nutcracker’ time againTchaikovsky piece plays all over townBy Sonya [email protected]

As Colorado Ballet enters its 52nd year, it again includes a number of area children in the cast of “The Nutcracker” as mice, party children, polichinelles, soldiers, angels and sugarplum attendees.

The music and story become part of another group of families’ histories in this performance, as well those of as Littleton’s Dance Academy, Ballet Ariel, Ballet Nou-veau and other companies. When these young ladies hear that music in future years, they’ll probably want to dance.

A sampler here of performances we have heard about.

• Colorado Ballet’s production at the El-lie Caulkins Opera House, with traditional choreography by Marius Petipa, is the larg-est, most elaborate and it includes young

dancers who attend the south area Ballet Academy. From Highlands Ranch: Natalie Cleland, Abbey Garber, Delaney Gilmore, Ava Miller, Katie Pfeufer, Sophis Quinn, So-phia Thomas and Addison Whitley. From Littleton, dancers include Alexa Chavez, Emma Cumming, Emma Lewis, Sierra Oklesson, Paige Pimmel, Ashley Rice and Rachel Vilner. From Englewood: Nichole Ahrens, Emma Brizee, Evelyn Lyman, Al-exa Peach, Malory Travis and Cassidy Tra-vis. From Centennial: Emma Garrison and Hanna Eckerman will dance. Castle Rock dancers include Courtney King, Isabella Lee, Taylor Nossaman, Kristin Palyo and Rachel Peete. Ticket prices range from $24 to $154, coloradoballet.org, 303-837-8888 ext 2. Numerous performances.

• Littleton Dance Academy will fea-ture a cast of more than 120 children, pre-professional dancers and guest artists in a production that runs at 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 1 and 2 p.m. Dec. 2 at Colorado Heights Uni-versity Theater, 3001 S. Federal Blvd., Den-ver. (School director Allison Jaramillo once danced as Clara in David Taylor Dance The-atre productions.) Tickets: $16 to $23. Little-

tondanceacademy.org. 303-794-6694.• Dawson|Wallace Dance Project, which

took over the David Taylor Dance Theater, presents the charming Taylor version of “The Nutcracker” on Dec. 15-23 at the Lake-wood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Park-way, Lakewood, where it has been selling out for a number of years. Performances: 3 and 8 p.m. Saturdays; 1 and 5 p.m. Sundays. Special reception before the 8 p.m. Dec. 21 show at $50. Tickets: $38/$28, 303-987-7845, Lakewood.org/CulturalCenter.

• “The Nutcracker of Parker” is present-ed by the Colorado School of Dance at the PACE Center, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker, from Dec. 13 to 16. Tickets: PACECenteron-line.org, 303-805-6800.

• Ballet Ariel, a Denver company that has at times performed in Highlands Ranch, will present its “Nutcracker” at the historic Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Theatre, 119 Park Ave., Denver. Performances: 3 p.m. Dec. 8, 9, 15, 16 and 8 p.m. Dec. 15. Tick-ets: $20/$16. There will be Sugarplum Teas on Sundays Dec. 9 and 16, following the performances, for $15 per child (adults free with a child.) 303-945-4388, balletariel.org.

Station to get touch of whimsySculptor’s work installed in UtahBy Sonya [email protected]

The grand opening of the light-rail sta-tion in Provo, Utah, on Dec. 10 will be more festive because of Littleton sculptor Don Mitchell’s art.

“Portal to another Place,” includes a clock for riders and measures 18 feet tall. “Greeters” is 12 feet tall and rests at the op-posite end of the platform.

Both are in Mitchell’s signature whimsi-cal style, brightly painted. He won the com-mission in competition with about 400 art-ists. “At my age, (74) I’m delighted when I win one,” he said.

He has work in Littleton — “Skip to My Lou” at Gallup Park; at the South Suburban Ice Rink; in Lakewood, Westminster, Long-mont, Arvada, Boulder, Thornton, Vail, Au-rora, Fort Collins and at locations across the country.

He says the project has been under way for three years since he won the commis-sion: paid 50 percent by the Utah Transit Authority, 25 percent by the city of Provo

and 25 percent by private donors.“I made them last summer and shipped

them to Provo, where they were put in stor-age” until the station was completed, he said.

A Utah clock expert was needed to get the electronic clock installed on “Portal to Another Place,” where it’s lighted at night. “It took 180 feet of wire and the man had to use climbing gear to install it.”

How do you ship an 18-foot-tall metal sculpture? Mitchell said that after they were powder-coated (similar to an auto finish), a company in Commerce City picks them up, wraps them and carries them on a flatbed to the destination.

Now he is painting a smaller piece for NCM, a high-end purse company, for dis-play during the huge upcoming Art Basil show in Miami.

Littleton residents may recall his one-man exhibit at the Littleton Museum in summer 2008, when the gallery was filled with fanciful creations.

Mitchell studied biology and philosophy in college and then completed a four-year apprenticeship in metal fabrication in the experimental engineering group at General Motors, which led to a career in engineer-ing, manufacturing and management of products with GM and similar companies.

It prepared him for a second career as artist and sculptor, which continues today — creating art that makes people smile.

Coach Karl clearly cares

Talk a little NBA b-ball while sidling up to Denver Nuggets Head Coach George Karl during a charity breakfast from 7 to 8:30 a.m. Dec. 4 at Coohills, 1400 Wewatta St.

Space is limited, so RSVPs are requested by Nov. 30 to [email protected] or by calling 303-788-9399. Cost is $28 per person.

The event is part of Colorado Gives Day 2012, where residents have 24 hours to give where they live.

The Coach Karl breakfast proceeds will support the Progressive Health Center and Cancer Care Initiative on Colorado Gives Day. Coloradans will come together again to raise millions of dollars for nonprofits throughout the state.

Last year, $12.8 million was distributed to Colorado nonprofits. Progressive Health Center and Cancer Care Initiative raised $36,000 and won an award for The Largest Percentage Increase In Dollars raised. The organization’s goal for 2012 is to increase that amount by 10 percent.

Progressive Health Center uses dona-tions to help uninsured/underserved pa-tients; for education programs and for general operating funds. The Cancer Care Initiative helps with patient navigation, pain management, survivorship and inte-grative medicine.

Presented by Community First Foun-dation and FirstBank, Colorado Gives Day asks you to give to your favorite charities through the website www.GivingFirst.org, an online giving resource featuring every nonprofit participating in Colorado Gives Day.

One hundred percent of your donation will come to the charity you choose. When you give online anytime on Dec. 4, the value of your donation will be increased by the FirstBank Incentive Fund.

Donate online at www.givingfirst.org/progressivehealthcenter anytime during the 24-hour period of Dec. 4 to “Give Where You Live.”

Taxi turkeysFor the 20th year in a row, Metro Taxi

drivers volunteered to bring meals to resi-dents in need by delivering food from the legendary Daddy Bruce Randolph Thanks-giving program.

Metro Taxi Denver drivers assisted the Epworth Foundation’s annual Denver Feed a Family Thanksgiving program by deliver-ing more than 1,800 food baskets to Denver residents unable to leave their homes.

At midnight prior to our traditional tur-key day, three city blocks surrounding Ep-worth United Methodist Church, 3401 High St., closed to set up a giant assembly line for Thanksgiving food baskets.

After hundreds of volunteers sorted and packed the food that Walmart had donated and hauled in, volunteer drivers from Met-ro Taxi began delivering food baskets to the elderly and shut-ins.

The drivers navigated more than 120 routes and made more than 1,800 deliveries to needy residents in northeast Denver who would otherwise not have had access to the donations.

“This is not a business decision for us, this is simply the right thing for us to do and we are so proud of our drivers who step up to help their neighbors,” Metro Taxi Denver Operations Manager Bobby McBride said. “We have people on staff here who have been helping feed families through the Daddy Bruce Thanksgiving program for 20

Where were you born?Minneapolis Minnesota

How long have you lived in the area?I moved to Colorado 41 years ago. I grew up in Aurora,

went to the University of Northern Colorado and currently live in Denver with my Husband, Gary of 17 years.

What do you like most about it?I love living in Colorado, it is fantastic to see the season

change. I am inspired by how active our state is, people are out running, riding their bikes and walking their dogs, no matter what the temperature is outside. I also like the fact that you can golf almost all year round.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?I have been selling Real Estate in the Denver Metro and sur-

rounding areas for more than 16 years.

What is your specialty and what does that mean for the people you work with?

I feel I bring many great aspects to buyers and sellers. Not only do I sell Real Estate but, I also have my own homebuild-ing company with my husband, it is called Stoneridge Homes

Inc. � is knowledge helps me with buyers, because I know when I see good quality construction and perhaps not so good. I also can help sellers get their home ready for sale by staging and knowing what buyers are looking for when they visit a home they might want to purchase.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?� e most challenging part of the business today is � nding

a good quality home for sale. � at is one of the reasons why I build is to � ll that void.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?I love cooking with Gary. We always have a large crowd

for � anksgiving and have great pleasure sharing with them, what we are thankful for in the past year. I also, love to play golf with my friends and enjoy being outside. I enjoy traveling to beautiful places.

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

Make sure your home is sell ready. It is so important to make a great � rst impression. Pack up your nick- knacks, clean out your closets and leave the lights on. Also, make sure your home is priced right. � e last thing you want to do is overprice it. Most buyers will visit your home in the � rst 2-3 weeks it is on the market. You don’t want to lose them.

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

Patience, inventory is very low

right now. It might take a little longer to � nd the perfect home for you. Be ready to move quickly you don’t want to miss out or be bid out.

What is the most unusual thing you’ve encountered while working in Real Estate?

I always knock, ring the doorbell and say hello really loud, when entering a home. You never know whom you might � nd in the shower - as I experienced early on in my career.

New Homes Apartment Living


Anyone purchasing a home needs to have it inspected, not only by a general home

inspector, but in many cases by a professional engineer, mold inspec-tor, radon tester, or any other spe-cialists trained to evaluate any other potential problem.

Sellers, whether using a real estate agent to list their homes, or whether they are handling the sale themselves, are wise to protect themselves by � lling out in detail the Seller’s Property Disclosures for residential properties sanctioned by the Colorado Division of Real Es-tate. � is form, which can be down-

loaded from the division’s website, has become more detailed every year. For the most part it protects both the buyer and the seller from any surprises.

Even so, certain rules regarding disclosures need to be followed if the seller wants to avoid being sued for failure to disclose known prob-lems with the property. As a general rule, the buyer and the inspector the buyer hires are expected to note problems that are obvious, known as patent defects, such as obvious cracks on the basement � oor. � e problem comes in when there are latent defects, or defects that are not obvious that the seller failed to dis-close, such as past water problems, leaks, hidden mold, or basement cracks which are covered up by car-peting.

Problems can arise when the seller discloses, or fails to disclose, something that may or may not af-fect a potential buyer’s decision on whether to purchase the property. For example, if one of the parties that lived in the home committed suicide, or died of cancer, or was murdered, or abused his or her chil-dren. � ese and similar issues will e� ect some purchasers’ decision to buy, but not others, because they are subjective, and really have noth-

ing to do with the condition of the house. Colorado law, speci� cally C.R.S. 38-35.5-101, protects a real estate broker who does not make these disclosures from lawsuits, but does not protect the seller. Disclos-ing these matters might be pru-dent for a seller to avoid problems down the line with buyers sensitive to those and similar situations that don’t a� ect the physical condition of the house but could have psycholog-ical e� ects on certain buyers.

Another tricky area is when a home inspector claims the home has a structural problem and the buyer terminates the contract based on that � nding. Assume that the seller

then hires a professional engineer who � nds there are no structural problems and that the house is struc-turally sound. Should the home inspector’s opinion be conveyed to subsequent potential buyers or not? One of the items on the Colorado Division of Real Estate’s website questionnaire is “Written reports of any building, site, roo� ng, soils, or engineering investigations or stud-ies of the property”. � is suggests that any such condition needs to be reported, even if overridden by a more competent professional, since a professional engineer is in a better position than a home inspector to determine the structural soundness

of a home. Tricky, but probably the � rst report should be disclosed and then followed up by the report of the professional engineer.

Bear in mind that the only mat-ters that need to be disclosed are those within the knowledge of the seller at the time he or she is pre-paring the disclosure statement. � e latest version of the disclosure statement is extremely detailed and covers most areas that could pres-ent problems for a potential buyer. To be safe, as a general rule, when in doubt, disclose, even if it hurts. Speci� c problems, such as mold, ter-mites, radon, and lead-based paint will be discussed in later columns.

Painter is man of many words Painter Craig Marshall Smith has an ex-

hibition on display at the Museum of Out-door Arts, Englewood Civic Center Atrium gallery, through March 2. Accompanying them, at the top of the stairs, is his paint-ing of a larger-than-life horse, “Rodger,” named after his late Metropolitan State col-league Rodger Lang, which is in the MOA permanent collection. A Highlands Ranch resident (and regular columnist for our pa-pers), Smith’s work is described as abstract expressionist and combines architectural draftsmanship and Asian-infl uenced callig-raphy. His work is found in private and mu-seum collections and his mural of Canada geese fi lls a wall at Bemis Library in Little-ton. The MOA is on the second level of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. Admission is free.

Town Hall Arts Center hosts beloved musical ‘Sound of Music’ charms audiences By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

From the fi rst note, Town Hall’s charming production of “The Sound of Music” captures the spirit of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical masterpiece, a part of our national cultural fabric since it opened on Broadway in 1959 with the beloved Mary Martin as Maria.

That fi rst note is “Preludium” by the nuns at Nonnberg Abbey, who manage lovely harmony, then break into a discussion about how to deal with the spirited novice Ma-ria — who soon appears on the mountainside singing the namesake song. Rebekah Ortiz brings a clear voice and joy-ful stage presence as a convincing Maria.

Music director Donna Debreceni writes: “As many times as I’ve had the pleasure of doing “Sound of Music,” I still

marvel at how truly amazing this score is. … Every instru-ment has something to say … .”

Director Robert Wells cast the show with accomplished singers, and Kelly Kates’ choreography fi ts the small Town Hall stage space smoothly.

Tina Anderson’s stage design works from a mountain landscape ever-present in the background and a stone pa-tio area, which is converted with occasional set pieces.

Keegan Flaugh portrays the confl icted Capt. Von Trapp and Ryan Howard returns to Town Hall as his friend Max Detweiler.

Kids who aren’t familiar with the history of the time might benefi t from a short brush-up about the Nazi rise to power before they attend.

The opening night audience was obviously familiar with every note and anticipated each song, greeting them with early applause at times, unfortunately. This show, and the fi lm version which appears frequently with “sing-along” in-vitations, will continue to draw audiences as a new genera-tion discovers its appeal.

Based on a memoir by the Baroness Trapp, the book by

Howard Lindsay and Russell Crouse developed into a tale with perhaps more romantic features than the original facts contained, but one that appeals year after year to re-peat and new audiences. It makes an ideal family-oriented holiday show, without inclusion of that overworked gentle-man in the red suit or the music that is repeated over and over …

Those who plan on attending will want to reserve tick-ets in advance. A number of performances are already sold out, according to the box offi ce.

Taxi is setting for comic fare Series of novels keeps rolling on By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

Running Meter Press was founded last year by writer Gary Reilly’s friends Mike Keefe and Mark Stevens to publish a series of comic novels — 11 in all — about the adventures and misadventures of Denver cabbie Brendan Murphy, written by the late Reilly, whose “Asphalt Warrior” went straight to Denver’s best-seller list last June.

Murph’s cab seemed to draw elements for a story to its likable, easygoing driver, who never intended to get involved in the lives of his fares.

Reilly’s short story “The Biography Man” won the Pushcart Prize in 1977 and he had written two Vietnam-era novels, science fi ction, noir thrillers and more. He gave his friends permission to publish the Murph books before he died in 2011, when his in-terest in fi nding a publisher resurfaced.

Denver City Auditor Dennis Gallagher, who also knew Reilly, will introduce and read from the next title, “Ticket to Holly-wood,” at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Tattered Cover LoDo, 1628 16th St., Denver.

Gallagher’s brother Tim was a friend of Reilly’s from high school.

In the new novel, a young woman on her way to see the movie “The Great Gatsby” leaves her purse in Murph’s cab and goes missing. Police encounters and Hollywood experiences follow for Murph.

Keefe, the recently retired Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist with a 36-year career at the Denver Post, said that Big Earth Publishing in Boulder added Running

Meter as an imprint, and a national cam-paign will be launched to sell the books, with all proceeds going to Reilly’s partner, Sherry Peterson.

Keefe met Reilly in a fi lm class at the University of Colorado-Denver in 1977, about the time he “went underground for three decades to work on his prose and re-fi ne his craft.”

“Ticket to Hollywood” and “Asphalt Warrior” are published in trade paperback ($14.95) and e-book format and are in the collections of area libraries.

“Ticket to Hollywood” is by Gary Reilly, the late author of “Asphalt Warrior.” Courtesy image

A perfect ending Kent Denver wins fi rst football title since 1991 By Daniel P. Johnson [email protected]

ENGLEWOOD - Like a lot of teams in prep and college football, Kent Denver awards its players pride stickers for achieving big plays on the fi eld.

Senior Brannon Jones, a two-way starter for the top-ranked Sun Devils, creatively arranged his to spell out BAM across the front of his helmet.

What a fi tting word for a player that turned himself into a battering ram in the fourth quarter of the Class 2A state championship game Nov. 24 against No. 7 Platte Valley.

With the unbeaten Sun Devils down 17-14 with just 6 minutes, 53 seconds to play in the game, Jones took a hand-off from Kent’s own 33-yard line, busted through the line of scrimmage, brushed off four would-be tacklers and rumbled into the end zone to give his team a 21-17 lead.

Jones tacked on an insur-ance touchdown with 2:03 to play as the Sun Devils won their

fi rst state championship since 1991 with a hard-fought 28-17 victory over the Broncos at a jam-packed Justin DeSorrento Memorial Field.

“It was a lot of will and de-termination,” said Jones of his game-winning touchdown.

“It was the offensive line and everyone buckling down, too, and saying that we needed to play tougher than we are. That break came right when we needed it.”

For Jones, one of a handful of seniors that was part of the Kent Denver team that lost in the state fi nal four years ago, end-ing his prep career with a state championship game - and vic-tory - on the team’s home fi eld was rewarding.

“This is amazing,” Jones said. “To get back (to the state championship), win it and go undefeated is amazing and more than I could’ve asked for or dreamed.”

Platte Valley (10-3) looked poised to ruin the Kent Denver (13-0) victory party. With quar-terback Logan Sitzman doing his best Tim Tebow imperson-ation, the Broncos rallied from an early 14-3 hole to take a 17-14 with 21 seconds to play in the second quarter on a 5-yard touchdown run by Sitzman.

The Broncos, though, were

unable to fi nd a rhythm offen-sively in the second half; they punted on their fi rst four pos-sessions, turned the ball over on downs and fi nally, were in-tercepted by Kent Denver’s Matt Pettyjohn with 1:41 to play.

“I knew they were going to throw the ball and I had been waiting all game for my op-portunity,” said Pettyjohn, who caught a 56-yard touchdown pass from Joey Matarazzo on the game’s second play from scrimmage that gave the Sun Devils an early 7-0 lead.

“In the fi rst game we played against them I had two inter-ceptions, so I was waiting for my opportunity and once I got it, I jumped on it.”

As mentioned, Kent Denver started the game off with a bang on Matarazzo’s touchdown pass

to Pettyjohn. Matarazzo threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Brian Boatman to increase the lead to 14-3.

An interception by Tom Bluher off a tip by Trevon Ham-let set the Sun Devils up with a fi rst-and-goal from the Platte Valley 5-yard line, but the Sun Devils were unable to put any points on the board and the Broncos responded with 14 unanswered points to take the lead.

“We knew this was going to be a tough game,” Kent Denver coach Scott Yates said. “We have a bunch of kids with great char-acter, and they weren’t going to give up. It’s a testament to the young men on this team and the determination they had … they’re fi ghters and they wanted to fi nish.”

Boys hoops: Warriors look to rebuildArapahoe returns just one starter from last year’s state runners-up teamBy Daniel P. [email protected]

Arapahoe’s boys basketball team has en-joyed great success the past three years.

They’ve won three straight Class 5A Cen-tennial League titles.

In the last two years, they’ve won 50 games (25 each season which is a school re-cord) and lost just five games, while reach-ing two state Final Fours. Last year, they lost in the 5A title game in overtime to Chapar-ral.

Coach Dan Snyder, who is in his sev-enth year at Arapahoe, knows that while this year’s team may only return one starter from a season ago, he does have a handful of players with varsity experience.

“It will be difficult to match the past two years, but we expect to have a competitive team,” said Snyder, who has a record of 126-29 at Arapahoe.

“We return only one player who was a full-time starter last year, but we have a number of players who have some varsity experience. We have good size and shoot the ball pretty well.”

Taven Sparks, a 6-foot-4 guard, fresh off of quarterbacking the football team to an appearance in the 5A state quarterfinals, is the Warriors’ lone returning starter. Backup point guard Thomas Trotman and part-time starter at forward, 6-foot-5 Evan Walsh provide that experience Snyder referenced.

Mitch Albyn (6-foot-5 senior) and Matt Glasscock (6-foot-5 senior) are two athletic bigs that have shown outside range. Bren-dan Till is a 6-foot-2 junior guard that will extend the defense with his 3-point shoot-ing.

Snyder sees the race for the Centennial

League title being a competitive one.“This should be a banner year for the

Centennial League,” Snyder said. “I think most people would say that our league will be the strongest league in the state this year.”

Cherry Creek, which finished second to Arapahoe in the Centennial League a year ago with an 11-3 mark (18-8 overall), is led once again by coach Mike Brookhardt.

The Bruins, who reached the Sweet 16 last season, are “an inexperienced team with great potential,” according to their coach.

Sam Stoveall, a senior, is the team’s best shooter. Six-foot-seven Graham Pingree will pack a punch on the post and sopho-more Will Bower is the team’s best athlete.

In the Continental League, Regis Jesuit finished last season with a perfect 11-0 mark in league play (20-4 overall) and earned one of the four number one seeds in the 32-team 5A state field. The Raiders, however, were upset in the second round by Poudre, 57-54.

Coach Ken Shaw, whose teams have compiled a staggering 43-1 record in Con-tinental League play the last four years, thinks his team is capable of making a deep run in the playoffs.

Josh Perkins, a 6-foot-3 junior point guard, leads the way for Regis Jesuit. Last year, Perkins averaged 18.6 points, 5.2 as-sists and shot 56 percent from the field and 82 percent from the free-throw line. He was an All-State selection and also participated in The Show All-Star Game, which features the best players in the state.

Senior guard Eric Stemper, junior for-ward Devin Kadillak, junior forward Eli-jah Sanford and sophomore guard Bryan Staerkel are solid all-around players that Shaw says will contribute to the team this season.

Littleton finished last season with a 2-9 league record and 5-18 overall, while Heri-tage was 3-8 in league play, 8-15 overall.

In Class 4A, Valor Christian reached the Final Four a year ago, and according to its coach, Ronnie DeGray, they have some un-finished business to attend to this season.

The Eagles, 23-3 a season ago, lost 70-59 to eventual champion Lewis-Palmer in the semifinals.

Chase Foster, a 6-foot-4 junior was a second team All-State selection a year ago. He returns, along with classmate, Christian

McCaffrey. McCaffrey was a first team All-Continental League selection.

Marcus Wilson and Garrett Baggett also return to the Valor Christian lineup.

In Class 3A, Kent Denver was 14-12 a year ago with a 4-5 record in Metro League play.

They advanced to the second round of the 3A state tournament, where they were eliminated by Faith Christian.

Girls hoops: Centennial figures to be a battleCherry Creek, Arapahoe look to contend for league titleBy Daniel P. [email protected]

There will be a lot of familiar faces returning to the Class 5A Centennial League in girls basketball this season.

As such, Cherry Creek coach Chris Curneen suspects the same teams that finished at the top of the league standings will be vying for the league title in 2012-13.

“It should be a three-way battle for the league title,” said Curneen, whose Bruins squad finished third in the Centen-nial League last year with a 10-4 record, 14-11 overall. “The league didn’t graduate many, so (the league) should be one of the best leagues this year.”

Cherry Creek brings back a pair of first team all-Cen-tennial League players in 6-foot senior, Megan Rohrer and 5-foot-1o junior, Mikaela Eppard. Kate O’Brien, Molly Rohrer and Brittney Roy will all see significant playing time.

“We’re hoping for a final four appearance,” said Curneen, whose team lost in the second round of state last year.

Arapahoe and Grandview finished tied atop the league standings with 13-1 records last year. The Warriors (19-6) overall, lost by a point (44-43) to ThunderRidge in the round of 16.

With nine seniors on the rosters, depth is not an issue for Arapahoe.

In the Continental League, Regis Jesuit looks to reload after losing four key players to graduation from last year’s team that reached the Final Four. The Raiders do have a pair of dynamic juniors that coach Carl Mattei figures should lead the way in 2012-13.

Justine Hall, a first team All-Continental League player who averaged 13.3 points per game, is back, as is forward Diani Akigbogun, who averaged 10.3 points and 6.4 re-bounds and was second team All-Continental League se-lection.

Jordan Molyneaux (6-foot-4 junior), Anna Ptasinski (5-foot-10 junior who returns from an ACL injury), Kesli Lidge and Jessica Lewis are all players Mattei identified as being integral to the team’s success.

Heritage finished last season with an 8-3 mark in Con-tinental League play (18-7 overall) and reached the second round of the state tournament. Littleton was 2-9 in league, 7-17 overall.

In Class 4A, Valor Christian coach Sherryl Klosterman returns 10 players from last year’s team, and is hoping that depth is a source of strength for the Eagles this season.

“We are an experienced and deep team with eight se-niors and two returning sophomore starters,” Klosterman said. “Our strength will be our versatility, as we have sev-eral players who can play multiple positions, creating mis-match issues for our opponents. Defensive pressure and intensity will be our key to success this season.”

Caroline Bryan, a 5-foot-10 sophomore who averaged 14 points and nine rebounds (honorable mention All-State), returns, as does 5-foot-11 sophomore Kendall Bradbury, who scored 12 points and grabbed eight rebounds a game.

Kara Foley (nine points, four rebounds) and Annalise Pequette (seven points, four rebounds) are other key re-turning players for Valor Christian, which finished 2011-12 with a 19-5 record and lost in the second round of the 4A state tournament.

In Class 3A, St. Mary’s Academy was 10-11 overall, with a 4-6 mark in Metro League play. Kent Denver was 2-16 with a 2-8 league mark.

It’s a rebuilding season for the Pirate boys New basketball coach teaching new system to team of young players By Tom Munds [email protected]

Coach Dave Chapman’s assess-ment of the coming season is the En-glewood High School boys basketball team will be building a program start-ing from scratch.

“All last year’s varsity players gradu-ated in June, I am a new coach,” Chap-man said. “This year, we don’t have any tall players and all our guys have the skills to play guard so we will use a style of play that pushes the ball up the court quickly on offense and plays aggressive defense.”

The team saw its fi rst action against an opponent in the Nov. 20 scrimmage against Skyline, a team they are likely to see again as they open the season Dec. 5 on the road at the Skyline Tour-nament.

The fi rst home game of the year will be Dec. 11 against Ridgeview Acad-emy. Home games are triple headers with the freshman game starting at 4 p.m., the junior varsity game at 5:30 and the varsity tipoff about 7:15. Ad-mission is $5 for adults and $3 for stu-dents with school identifi cation and a ticket is good for all three games.

Englewood’s players know Chap-man because he has been the assis-tant varsity coach and head JV coach for several years. Chapman was then selected to fi ll the head coaching va-cancy when former head coach Stu Howard retired at the end of last school year.

“We knew this season would be a challenge with no returning var-sity starters which meant we had to change the way we play basketball,” the new coach said. “The last three years, Englewood had two big men in the middle and worked the ball into their post players. We don’t have any tall players this season so we will use a system built around the strengths of our current players. We have pretty good quickness and the guys handle the ball well. So, we’ll try to push the

tempo, get up court quickly, looking for the high percentage shots.”

He said the players have been en-thusiastic and have worked hard. Chapman has the Pirates play a short-ened eight-game summer season and 25 players turned out for the practices and the games. That helped players get used to the style of play they will use when the season starts in Decem-ber.

The coach said he does have some experienced players like Jared Lick, team captain, did see playing time in some games toward the end of last season and Tucker Horan who prac-tices with the varsity last season but was sidelined most of the year with an ankle injury. The coach said Isiah Mestas, a move-in from Bear Creek, who is a point guard and will also help the team. He said it still is basically a young team with at least a couple sophomores on varsity and other JV players may move up from time to time to fi ll out the varsity roster.

“Our strength will be pushing the ball on offense and playing solid de-fense,” the coach said. “We are play-ing zone right now but are working on playing man-to-man and putting on a half-court press to try to force turn-overs.”

The coach said the league schedule

is basically and unknown.“This is a new league and we’ll

be playing most of these teams for the fi rst time and know little about them,” Chapman said. “However, I expect Elizabeth will be strong. Eliza-beth looked good last season and they were strong when we played them this summer.”

Team captain Jared Lick said bas-ketball is his game. He said he doesn’t play any other sport and his focus year around is basketball.

“My strength is crashing the boards,” he said. “I hustle, get posi-tion and get the rebounds. I also can shoot pretty well from outside plus a lot of my points come from getting the offensive rebound and scoring on the put-back.”

He said he likes the new coach and knows him because Chapman coached him last season.

He said he knows this is a different system but he said he and his team-mates are learning how to make it work smoothly.

“I know that I will be the post player this season even though I am not all that tall,” he said. “But I have no personal goals for scor-ing or rebounding this season and my focus all year will be doing all I can to help out team win games.”

Pirate girls will play a run and gun style Coach’s system uses speed and quickness to counter a lack of height By Tom Munds [email protected]

Coach Adrian Thompson said the players on the Englewood High School girls basketball team have a lot of heart and have worked hard to learn and implement the new program she introduced this season.

“The new coaching staff will be em-phasizing basketball fundamentals so we can implement an up tempo style in order to compensate for the lack of height on our team,” she said. “I have some leaders with varsity experience and that will help. Also we are a team with a lot of quickness and speed. So, we’ll use our quickness and speed to push the ball up the court on offense and play aggressive defense.”

The Pirates worked against their fi rst opponent Nov. 19 in a scrimmage against Skyline and they open the sea-son at home Dec. 4 against Denver North.

Englewood will have a varsity and a JV team this season so home dates will be double headers. The JV game will start at 5:30 p.m. and the varsity tipoff is scheduled at about 7:15. Home games are played in the Englewood High School fi eld house and a single ticket is good for both games.

The coach said her plan is to have the players at the high school use her system and she also plans to introduce the system at the middle school and elementary school levels.

“We will work with those teams, helping the players develop good bas-ketball fundamentals and our style of

play,” the coach said. “I hope working at those levels will encourage athletes and help them prepared to join us when they come to Englewood High School and play for the Pirates.

As the coach noted, the Pirates have several returning letter win-ners on this year’s team including Mason Brainard, Kadie Kavinsky, Mi-randa Holman and Julia Kline. Coach Thompson said the veterans will prob-ably be starters. However, she said, because of the up tempo style, she ex-pects to make frequent substitutions to keep fresh players on the court so many younger players will see time in the varsity games.

Kadie Kavinsky, a returning starter, said she is glad to be back on the bas-ketball court.

“I love basketball and it’s an excit-ing year because we are building the foundation of a new program,” the ju-

nior said. “I look to bring some leader-ship to the team and to help make this team like a family.”

She said the team knows that most likely every opponent they face will have a height advantage.

“We do have good quickness and speed so we need to use those talents to push the ball quickly up the court,” she said.

“We have to establish position to get rebounds. We also are shooting from outside pretty well and, as we practice, we are getting better.”

Kavinsky said this will be a differ-ence for her this season because she is designated as a shooting guard.

“This is my fi rst season as a shoot-ing guard so I’ll have to focus on tak-ing and making more shots,” she said. “That is different role for me but I think it’ll be fun and I’m looking for-ward to the start of the season.”

real choice but to raise rates because it will be necessary for the Littleton/En-glewood Wastewater Treatment Plant to add additional treatment systems in order to meet stricter federal and state requirements.

Fonda agreed and added that the rate increases will also allow the plant

to borrow $3 million in 2013 in order to take advantage of interest rates, which are at a historic low.

He said the borrowed funds will be placed in plant reserves in anticipa-tion of the requirement to build facili-ties in 2016 to meet federal and state nutrient removal standards.

Englewood and Littleton jointly own and operate the regional treat-

ment plant that serves about 300,000 people.

Littleton serves about 55 percent of the customers and Englewood serves about 45 percent.

Rates for Littleton customers will also be going up starting in 2013, but Littleton used different rate hikes spread over four years to reach the same fi nancial goal.

for comfort in tents early in the day, and Connie Ben-nett said she had been there since about 2 p.m.

Bennett said she is single and couldn’t go home for Thanksgiving, so under the circumstances, why not spend a few hours waiting in line to get a deal on the new laptop she needs.

Subhash Yangar, who was about 30th in line, said the tents were up and there were only a few people when he came to check out the line about 1:30 p.m

“But the line had grown some when I came back about 5:30,” he said. “I came today looking for deals on a TV and a couple other things. I fi gured waiting in line for a few hours is worth it to save several hundred bucks on things I want for my home.”
