Council targets pot banFuture of Englewood’s recreational marijuana industry could go to votersBy Tom [email protected]

The Englewood City Council took two actions regarding the recreational mari-juana industry at its April 15 meeting, first approving an advisory question on the No-vember ballot about banning the industry, and then putting a ban in place.

The actions are in response to Colorado voters’ approval of Amendment 64 in No-vember, legalizing adult possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana for recreational use and legalizing retail sales and a number of aspects of the industry. The amendment also provided communities the option to ban the recreational marijuana industry.

The council first considered the ballot issue.

Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward said all but one precinct in the city voted heavily in support of Amendment 64.

“Residents clearly supported legaliz-ing recreational marijuana,” he said. “Now there is discussion of banning the recre-ational marijuana industry in Englewood. I feel we should listen to the voters by putting the advisory question about the ban on the November ballot.”

Council Member Rick Gillit said he agreed with Woodward, but only to a point.

“I want to fulfill the will of the voters,” he said. “However, in approving Amendment 64, the voters gave local communities the opportunity to decide whether or not to

Course honored for player developmentBroken Tee’s promotion, outreach recognizedBy Tom [email protected]

The Broken Tee at Englewood Golf Course received this year’s player develop-ment award from the National Golf Course Owners Association.

The association includes 5,300 owners representing 7,200 golf courses around the United States and in foreign counties.

“Bob Spada and a couple of his staff ac-cepted this award at the association confer-ence in February but we wanted to present it to the city and to all the course employees who help make Broken Tee operate,” Jerrell Black, parks and recreation director, told city council at its April 8 meeting. “In pre-senting the award to Broken Tee, the associ-ation recognized all that is done to promote the sport and to help people fall in love with golf.”

Black said the youth program is strong, as are other programs to help people learn the game and play golf.

He said the golf course has special pro-grams for handicapped golfers, and Profes-sional Golf Association-certified instructors available to give both group and individual lessons.

Black said the award is a tribute to the work done by everyone associated with Broken Tee Golf Course at Englewood.

Bob Spada, course director, said Bro-ken Tee had applied unsuccessfully for the award, so it came as a surprise when they were notified they had won this year.

“We feel it is the strength of our ju-

nior golf program that helped us win this award,” he said. “We feel we promote and introduce golf to about 1,000 5- to 15-year-olds each year. Our Hole-N-One program reaches out to more than 500 kids, and we probably reach about that many additional kids through our other programs, like our Par-3 leagues and our visits to local elemen-tary schools to promote golf and our other junior golf programs, like special leagues for kids.”

The course also received the Columbine Award from the Colorado Parks and Recre-ation Association, honoring Broken Tee’s

junior golf program.The Hole-N-One program will be offered

again this year, drawing 5- to 15-year-olds from all over the Denver metro area.

This year, Spada said they already have about 250 kids signed up for the pro-gram, including a young golfer from Fort Collins.

The program will be held from June 3-19. The program is capped at 650 and the course will take applications on a first-come, first-served basis. For information, call the golf course at 303-762-2670.

But Spada said the junior program isn’t the only golf promotional program at Bro-ken Tee.

“We are introducing a beginning golf program for women,” he said. “The pro-gram offers five lessons plus rounds of golf for $99.”

He said there are also plans to offer an improved family night program.

“We are doing all we can to provide the opportunities for everyone to either learn the game or to come out and play our course,” he said.

Young golfers fill up the driving range positions during last year’s Hole-N-One youth golf program. More than 500 children from ages 5 to 15 attended the program. File photo

B-cycle plan gets rollingEvent launches effort to bring shared bikes to ArapahoeBy Tom [email protected]

Joel Phillips, working with the Great-er Englewood Chamber of Commerce, is sponsoring an April 22 open house to launch the effort to establish B-cycle sta-tions to Arapahoe County communities.

“We are inviting community officials and residents to come by and look at the B-cycle station program offering the opportu-nity to share a bike. Visitors can even take a ride on one of the bikes,” said Phillips, the chamber board member spearheading the project. “The share-a-bike programs have worked well in other communities includ-ing Denver and Boulder, reducing pollu-tion, getting cars off the road and getting fat off the people.”

The open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 22 in the Englewood Civic Center piazza. The piazza is located adjacent to the civic center at 1000 Engle-wood Parkway.

Phillips said he got interested in the rent-a-bike program when he undertook a personal journey seeking to adopt a health-ier lifestyle, which included bike riding.

“That got me interested in the bike-shar-ing program and I began doing research to

Sign language speaks of community Nadelle Payne, a high school teacher

of American Sign Language, can go all day without talking to someone other than her students.

She is deaf.“I can pass people in the hall and say

`Hi,’” she says through an interpreter. “But not a conversation.”

So, on a recent Saturday, she and about 25 other deaf women and men, including high school and college students studying ASL, gathered at a Starbucks in Highlands Ranch to talk.

The conversations — lively, graceful, expressive — continued for hours.

Fingers moved swiftly.Arms glided, up and down, back and

forth.Emotion danced across animated faces.All of it, together, words without sound

spinning eloquent stories, woven in a warmth born of shared community.

“To immerse ourselves in our own language” is a gift, a reprieve from the iso-lation that comes with being deaf, Payne says. “Hearing people can talk every day, on the phone … all the time. We talk when we have someone to sign with.”

The monthly Starbucks gathering is one of many in the area designed to nurture connection and fellowship among a popu-lace defi ned by its unique communication and culture.

There are deaf social chats at restau-rants in Boulder and Castle Rock, silent bowling nights at an alley in Lone Tree, festivals and ASL performances at Rocky Mountain School for the Deaf in Lake-wood, an ASL haunted house night during Halloween, a deaf social chat in Superior, a meeting for deaf senior citizens in Denver.

“It is like you are going to deaf Mecca where there are all deaf native signers,” says Michelle Stricklen, an ASL instructor at Front Range Community College who is deaf.

“It is,” she says in an email, “phenom-enal to me.”

Pam Meadows, a Castle Rock resident and California transplant who has been deaf since birth, started the monthly socials at the Highlands Ranch Starbucks about 2½ years ago.

“We come here to socialize,” she says through her friend Dawn Davies, a Little-ton schools counselor who is not deaf and is interpreting. “But it also helps ASL students so they can experience what deaf people are like.”

Davies, who began learning to sign in fi rst grade, attends many of these events to visit with friends.

But as a school counselor she also helps introduce fi rst-timers, particularly stu-dents, to the group. “I like to help bridge the gap a little bit.”

A handful of high school students from Castle Rock and Highlands Ranch are here this day. It is their second visit. They come to practice signing, but they’ve picked up on some other aspects of deaf culture, too.

“They’re really close,” Shawna Dough-ten says.

“You can talk across the room,” Makayla Elms says with a smile.

“They’re not different,” Paige Luke says. “Other people think they’re handicapped, but they’re not.”

The three teens, along with Kayla Hen-drickson from Castle Rock, have fallen in love with the language.

“It’s just so expressive,” Hendrickson says. “I love how it’s really metaphoric … how you can kind of get creative with it.”

“When you’re describing stuff, you’re

supposed to try to create a picture,” Elms says.

“You use a lot of motion,” Luke says.The language is actually more straight-

forward, points out Jazelle Edwards, 9, here with her mother, who is deaf. She is not, though. “You don’t have to say the little words,” such as “and” and “the.”

“Sign language is so much fun to talk,” says Clay Amos, who with his fi ancee Ivy Oswald recently moved from Pennsylva-nia. They’ve come to meet new people. Although both are deaf, Amos can lip read and speak; Oswald has a cochlear implant, which allows her to hear, and she can speak.

“It’s feelings,” Amos says about signing. “It makes you laugh.”

“It is,” Oswald says with a smile, “theat-rical.”

And just like a spoken language, it has tones and accents, the students say. “People have tones with their voice,” Hen-drickson says. “You kind of have a tone of your sign. Everyone signs differently.”

George Veditz, former president of the National Association of the Deaf, said this about sign language in 1913: “It is my hope that we will all love and guard our beautiful sign language as the noblest gift God has given to deaf people.”

And it is beautiful. To watch people sign is to watch stories unfold like the lyrical melody of a song.

You can sense the happiness, the sad-ness, the excitement, the disappointment — even when you don’t know what the signs mean.

But that inability to understand often creates discomfort among those who can’t communicate back, similar to being in a country whose language is not your own.

“Many people are intimidated by us,” Payne acknowledges. “It takes a lot of effort for hearing people to communicate” with those who can’t hear.

Stricklen tells the story of asking a fl ight attendant for a menu and being given one

in Braille. “I told her, `No, I just need regu-lar.’ Am I blind?”

At the other end of the spectrum, Payne says, “we are afraid we will be misunder-stood.”

The key, as with anyone who doesn’t know your language, is to try.

“We like having friends,” Payne says. “We like it when people make an effort to try and communicate.”

On this day, around the tables in the coffee shop, the barriers are down.

Two women stand by the door, lost in conversation, eyes focused on each other’s signs.

Next to them, Makayla Elms and Paige Luke are signing with little Jazelle and her older brother.

Nearby, Payne, Davies and Meadows are in deep conversation with a group clus-tered in chairs. And at the tall table across the way is Oswald, hands moving, fi ngers working, animated as she and Amos sign with new friends.

A peacefulness of sorts quietly connects them all.

They are, in a sense, home.Watch, and listen carefully. The silence

speaks loudly.

Elections bill stirs passions Democrats see more voter involvement; Republicans predict greater fraud By Vic Vela [email protected]

A Democratic-sponsored bill that would put in place sweeping changes to how Colo-rado elections are conducted passed a state legislative committee on April 15, following a lengthy and heavily debated hearing that went deep into the night.

House Bill 1303 would change the state’s election code to allow for same-day voter registration and would put ballots in the mailboxes of every registered voter.

The bill also would do away with a sys-tem where “inactive” voters — those who did not vote in the previous election — do not continue to receive mail-in ballots.

Democrats say the changes would en-courage more involvement in the voting process, and would save taxpayer dollars on things like voting equipment, because fewer people would need to vote in person.

The bill’s sponsors argue that Colorado voters want greater voting access and that legislators should respond to their desires.

“People have demanded that we reform our elections system, and it is time for us to design an election system around our voters,” House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, a bill sponsor, told members of the House State, Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

But Republicans argue that the changes could lead to greater voting fraud and that the Democrats’ efforts on the bill are self-serving attempts to boost their own party’s

voter rolls.Applause erupted from the audience

when Rep. Tim Dore, R-Elizabeth, ques-tioned the sponsors’ motives, telling com-mittee members, “I don’t hear the outcry from voters.”

“I’m trying to get my arms around why we’re doing this,” he said.

The bill passed the Democratic-con-trolled committee on a 7-4 vote, on the heels of a hearing that lasted more than seven hours.

Among those who testifi ed was Jefferson County Clerk Pam Anderson, a Republican who is the president of the Colorado Coun-ty Clerks Association, who said the bill puts “ballots in the hands of voters in a cost-ef-fective manner.”

“As a whole, over three quarters of (CCCA members) support this legislation as an im-portant and timely policy that looks to the future,” Anderson said.

Anderson also tried to alleviate the con-cerns that mailing ballots to every regis-tered voter in the state would lead to greater voting fraud. She said the bill would provide “necessary security for the (voting) system” and that there really isn’t much fraud going on in Colorado elections to begin with.

Several Republican offi ceholders oppose the bill, including El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams, who believes that same-day voter registration would make it impossible to catch those who try to cheat the system.

“The more the people of the State of Col-orado and El Paso County learn about this terrible piece of legislation, the more they don’t like it,” Williams said in a news release prior to the hearing.

Republican Secretary of State Scott Gessler, who vehemently opposes the bill, called the legislation “fl awed.”

“This is an example of bad government,” he said.

The bill now moves to the House Appro-priations Committee.

Humane society officials explain changes Meeting with council is tied to funding request By Tom Munds t m u n d s @ o u rc o l o ra d onews.com

Several offi cials from the Humane Society of the South Platte Valley met with Englewood City Council on April 8 to talk about con-tinuing the Englewood-shelter relationship and to request the city approve the additional $41,000 that the society requested for 2013.

Among the issues dis-cussed were changes the society has made in an ef-fort to be sustainable, along with efforts to enlist donors, while asking Englewood to approve the additional funding. The city had pro-vided $50,000 and had budgeted the additional $41,000, but didn’t allocate spending it until the meet-ing with society offi cials

Near the end of the meeting, the council agreed to evaluate the information provided and discuss the re-quest for additional funding at a later date.

“We fi rst want to thank Englewood for its past sup-port and commitment to the society,” Margie Munoz, society board of directors president, told the council during the study session. “We also wanted tell you about the positive changes we have made as we seek to establish ways to make sure we can sustain the business now and in the future.”

Changes made at the so-ciety include the appoint-ment of Leslie Maisonneuve as shelter director.

“Since late last year,

our focus has been two-fold: increasing adoptions and seeking support from private individuals and companies,” Maisonneuve said. “We feel we are mak-ing progress, as we have seen a 19 percent increase in adoptions. We also have seen an increase in private donations, including the fact we now have Schomp Automotive as a corporate partner.”

She added that a volun-teer also helped the society create a web page and es-tablish a presence on Face-book.

She noted that a major policy of the Humane Soci-ety of the South Platte Valley is its commitment to be a no-kill shelter. The director said that isn’t the case with most other humane societ-ies in the surrounding area.

Council Member Bob McCaslin said he was im-pressed with the changes and progress the society has made. Council Member Rick Gillit agreed and asked about plans for the future.

The shelter director said work is underway on es-tablishing fees for govern-

mental agencies using the shelter on what is called an allocation system. The basis of the system is establishing the annual fee for a commu-nity based on the number of animals from that commu-nity that are brought to the shelter.

Mayor Randy Penn said it was a good idea, because he feels some of the govern-mental agencies using the shelter are not paying their fair share for the services they receive.

Munoz said Englewood and Littleton are now under contract with the shelter, as are Columbine Hills and Cherry Hills Village. Arapa-hoe County uses the shelter at a lower rate than Engle-wood and Littleton, but she said the county fee will probably increase when the contract is renewed.

“We also have been tak-ing animals from Parker and Lone Tree. They told us they expected to contract with the Douglas County shel-ter,” she said. “That hasn’t happened yet, so we are still accepting their animals and billing them for the services we provide.”

ENGLEWOOD NEWS IN A HURRY

City gets swimming grantEnglewood Parks and

Recreation Department received a $4,000 grant from the USA Swimming Foundation. The money will be used to continue Englewood’s program teaching kids to swim.

The foundation received 130 applications, and Englewood was one of 41 grants awarded.

Joe Sack, recreation op-erations service manager, said Englewood received a foundation grant in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The 2011 program helped about 200 youngsters learn to swim.

Englewood didn’t receive the grant last year, which meant there weren’t fi nances to continue the program.

Goodall, local o� cials meetSeveral Englewood

representatives met with scientist, writer and speaker Jane Goodall dur-ing her speaking engage-ment in Denver and talked about the introduction of Goodall’s curriculum, called Roots and Shoots, into Englewood schools.

Karen Brofft, assistant school superintendent, said the kindergarten-through-12th-grade program is designed to promote envi-ronmental awareness and protection of wildlife.

The program was to be introduced into the schools this year, but technical dif-fi culties with the program website have pushed the implementation date back to September.

The Englewood repre-sentatives included Brofft, City Council Member Jill Wilson and Englewood Cultural Arts Commission

Member Tammy Emman-uel. Two Englewood High School science teachers also attended the event.

Drama productions on agendaThe Englewood High

School drama students will present “That Thing Called Love,” a program contain-ing scenes from plays, monologues and songs, at 7 p.m. on April 24 and again on April 26.

Dan Carlson, who is directing the show, said the schedule is different in order to accommodate the prom and the middle school play.

The program will be held in Fisher Auditorium at Englewood High School. Tickets are $3 per person at the door.

Volunteers sought for depot decisionCouncil wants two residents to work with expertsBy Tom [email protected]

The Englewood City Council gave consensus ap-proval to ask two residents to volunteer to join a group of experts in historic pres-ervation. The plan is to cre-ate a committee to evaluate two proposals for the pur-chase and use of the Engle-wood Depot.

Council members agreed to establish the review com-mittee during the April 8 study session discussion, which focused on options for dealing with proposals to purchase the early 1900s train depot at the corner of West Dartmouth Avenue and South Galapago Street.

The city received pro-posals from the Englewood

Historical Preservation So-ciety, Englewood Urban Farm and from Tom and Patti Parson, but the farm withdrew its proposal.

The proposal from the Englewood Historic Preser-vation Society would have the city sell the organiza-tion the depot for $1, and for the organization to sign a long-term lease with the city for the land. The lease

payment would be 10 per-cent of the gross revenues generated by the society, estimated at $6,500 in year one and growing to an aver-age of $10,000 a year by the fifth year.

Tom and Patti Parson would pay the city $30,000 and create a living museum of letterpress printing in the building.

Both proposals agree to

do restoration work to pre-serve the historic integrity of the depot at a cost of sev-eral hundred thousand of dollars. Grant applications would be submitted to help cover the restoration costs.

Residents who volunteer for the committee will need to be available for a four-hour time commitment on a weekday morning or afternoon in mid-May. The session will involve a pre-meeting regarding the proposals, followed by in-terviews with the two can-didates and a post-inter-view follow-up discussion. Lunch will be provided.

The committee mem-bers will receive the propos-als and related documents prior to the interview date.

The deadline for appli-cations is April 30 at 5 pm. The applications are avail-able online at www.engle-woodgov.org.

Questions can be direct-ed to the Englewood City Manager’s Office at 303-762-2310.

ban the recreational marijuana in-dustry. That ban has no impact on a resident’s right to possess recre-ational marijuana or grow marijua-na for personal use.”

The effort to let Englewood vot-ers verify their decision on recre-ational marijuana had the support of Council Member Joe Jefferson.

The proposal will develop ballot wording to explain that the vote is on whether the council should pro-hibit establishing any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood. Plans call for wording to make it clear that the council is not required to take action to com-ply with the results of the election.

The council voted 4-3 on first reading to place the issue on the ballot.

Mayor Randy Penn, Woodward and Council Members Jefferson and Linda Olson voted for the res-olution, while Council Members Gillit, Bob McCaslin and Jill Wilson voted against it.

The issue is scheduled to come up for second and final reading at the May 6 council meeting. Wil-son said she wanted to make sure the wording for the ballot made it clear to residents that it would only be advisory and would not require

council action.The council then moved to dis-

cussion of banning all aspects of the recreational marijuana industry.

Wilson said she is concerned be-cause so many issues about medical marijuana still remain unresolved at the state level. She noted that two of the three medical-marijuana outlets in Englewood still have no state license.

Gillit agreed, and said he can’t imagine how many state issues regarding regulation of the rec-reational marijuana industry will remain unresolved when facilities are to be allowed to open in Janu-ary 2014.

Woodward added that he ex-pected Englewood to establish li-censing and zoning regulations for the recreational marijuana industry that mirror the existing regulations governing medical marijuana.

“If that happens, the zoning and the restrictions on distance between facilities would prevent establishing any recreational mari-juana industry facility anywhere in Englewood,” he said.

The council voted 5-2 to approve first reading of the regulation to prohibit establishing any aspect of the recreational marijuana industry in Englewood.

Penn, McCaslin, Wilson, Olson and Gillit voted for the ban, while Woodward and Jefferson voted against it.

Then, we’ll begin the fundraising efforts nec-essary to get the first phase of the pro-gram up and running by the spring of 2014.”

Phillips said tentative phase-one plans would set up 10 stations located near the light rail stations in Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan.

The expanded phase would establish stations in Greenwood Village, Centennial and Aurora.

The Denver Bike Shares program was established in 2010 and the first full season was March to November 2011.

Individuals can purchase an annual, monthly or weekly membership, plus walk-up customers can use available bikes.

In 2011, there were 2,675 annual mem-berships sold, an increase of 50 percent over 2010.

The Denver statistics show short-term members used the bikes more often on weekends.

Those who chose to use a bike on a 24-hour membership took 74,797 trips, which accounted for 37 percent of the bike trips taken during the year.

Police to collect unwanted drugs City takes part in national program By Tom Munds t m u n d s @ o u rc o l o ra d onews.com

Residents have the op-portunity to safely dispose of out-of-date, unused or unwanted prescription medications during “take back” event from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. April 27 in the parking lot of the Miller Building, 3600 S. Elati St.

The Englewood Police Department is sponsoring and overseeing the event as part of the nationwide pro-gram endorsed by the Drug Enforcement Administra-tion.

The program was estab-lished in 2010 as the DEA sought a way to help people safely dispose of prescrip-tion drugs they no longer want. Before the take-back program, the options were to put the drugs in trash that goes to the landfi ll or fl ush them down the toilet. Neither option is consid-ered a safe way to dispose of prescription drugs.

Medications are dropped off at the take-back location

with no questions asked, and all medication will be disposed of in a safe and en-vironmentally responsible manner.

However, the dropoff will not accept needles, mercu-ry, oxygen containers, che-motherapy or radioactive substances or pressurized canisters.

Also, the dropoff is for prescription medications, and no illicit drugs will be accepted.

Tony Arnoldy, police community relations rep-resentative, said Englewood held a drug take-back event in 2012 that collected about

200 pounds of prescription drugs.

This marks the fourth year the DEA has promot-ed the National Prescrip-tion Medication Take Back Events.

Englewood was among almost 5,700 locations that took part in the nationwide event a year ago.

The DEA reported the sites collected and safely disposed of 276 tons of prescription drugs. That brought the total amount of drugs collected since the take-back program started to about 150 million pounds.

8-Opinion

opinions / yours and ours

Even a growth industry must have bordersThe work of both a task force and a

committee is done, and now the business of drawing up rules to implement Amend-ment 64 is in the hands of the Colorado General Assembly. With less than a month left in the 2013 session, the Legislature will need to hustle on the matter of recreation-al marijuana.

As lawmakers debate the merits of the recommendations they’ve been handed, one issue that will come up is how to deal with pot tourism. Already, a company promising cannabis-related vacations has sprouted in Denver, with April 20 — also known endearingly by many marijuana-smokers as “4/20” — being its first big push.

It seems unlikely the Legislature would

altogether ban out-of-state folks from pur-chasing pot. Doing so would be against the advice of the Amendment 64 Task Force and would cost the state a potentially large source of revenue. But there could be limits imposed, perhaps below the threshold of those facing residents, on how much marijuana visitors could legally procure. And, certainly, the law would require them to smoke or otherwise partake here in the Centennial State.

Amid myriad gray areas, at least one

thing is black and white: What’s smoked in Colorado must stay in Colorado.

We’re not endorsing use of marijuana in any way, but if you choose to use, remem-ber that you are breaking the law if you take it outside state lines.

Kansas, for one, has been a nervous neighbor since Amendment 64’s passage in November. Last month, Kansas’ ap-peals court ruled it is illegal to possess pot even if it was legally purchased in another state. (For that matter, possession is still in violation of federal law, but that’s a larger matter for another day.)

Earlier this month, a Colorado woman was arrested in Salina, Kan., on charges of marijuana possession. She had nearly 4 pounds of pot, police say.

While that amount would have been against the law even in Colorado — where residents may legally possess up to 1 ounce for recreational purposes or up to 2 ounces for medicinal reasons — it does shine a light on a problem. A commander with a Kansas drug task force told reporters Colorado pot is increasingly becoming a concern in his state.

Like it or not, Colorado may be well on its way to becoming known as a destina-tion spot for pot enthusiasts. But develop-ing a reputation among neighboring states as a source of contraband is not accept-able.

Our state’s legislators, law enforcement agencies and residents should work to nip this problem in the bud.

our view

How would you grade the Legislature?As the 2013 session nears an end, we

asked people at several south-metro area locations what overall grade they would give to the Colorado Legislature and why.

“I would give them a B-minus. They seem to be doing a good job of pushing buttons on all the hot topics. However, they are taking on some difficult issues, so I have to applaud them for that.” — Gerry Cummins, Centennial

“I give them a solid B. So far, so good. I don’t follow politics all that much, but I think people in other states prob-ably have it worse. Seems everybody here is pretty content, and that makes me happy.” — Brandon Alder, Centennial

“I’d say a C-minus. Everything is just way too partisan — on both sides. ... We need people that can work together.” — Mary Ellen Luttenegger, Littleton

“I don’t really keep up with politics all that much, but overall I’d give them an F with the exception of one area, and that’s the medical marijuana issue. In that case, I’d give them an A.” — Duaine Miller, Aurora

question of the week

That’s my story, and I’m a stick in the mudMy therapist and I have been talking

about dancing. Just not with each other. We’re trying to figure out why I have no interest in dancing or dance.

I won’t do “The Loco-Motion” or “The Mashed Potato.”

I don’t watch dancing, either. Ballet, ballroom, belly, pole, line, none of it. Tor-ture would be watching “Dancing with the Stars.” Extreme torture would be watching “Lord of the Dance.” I don’t even like the Soupy Shuffle.

A friend of mine sent me a YouTube of some fellow who had spliced together snippets of him doing the same appall-ing jig in locations around the world. She wasn’t happy when I said it was absolutely dreadful

So far, all my therapist and I have been able to come up with is that I may have had a profoundly adverse reaction to glimpsing Arthur Murray when I was a boy. He always had a disturbing smile on his face, like a carousel horse.

I don’t imagine there is anyone else anywhere who feels the same way about dancing as I do.

I prefer to be largely inert. Keep the foxtrot away from me. No Native American dances, please. Hulas? No, no, no.

Even the Ice Capades gives me the wil-lies.

Everyone else either loves to dance, watch dancing, or both. I don’t know what happened with me. My guess is that Boo Radley didn’t dance either, and that’s how I saw myself when I was in high school and college. That perception has changed, but I am still very reclusive, and I think I always will be.

My drinking years didn’t loosen me up either. Well. They loosened me up to other things, but not moving and grooving.

I don’t listen to dance music. Maybe that’s a part of it. I listen to Beethoven and Mozart. There may have been some danc-ing going on in “Amadeus.” I can’t remem-ber. But dancing to Sinfonia Concertante would never cross my mind. Painting to it would.

Perhaps painting is how I dance. The canvas is my partner? Maybe that’s a

stretch and maybe not. I have done a lot of painting demonstrations, and they’re about as publicly overt as I get.

I might feel very differently if I were mu-sical. I am not. Or if I had been encouraged at an early age to dance around the house or around the school. I wasn’t.

I have no regrets. I admire Fred and Ginger and Baryshnikov, but if I had to choose between being a very good painter and being a very good dancer, it would be a very good painter. My dancing abstinence has not made me very attractive to many people (women!), so when I find one (I have) for whom it is A-OK, I value them.

I am sure that most — or all — modern dance performances are choreographed, but the few I have seen pieces of look improvised. That would be the end of me. I was roped into seeing one some years ago, and my friend spent most of her segment, backlighted, under a lavender, translu-cent gauzy tent, so all I could see was her silhouette, kind of flailing around for 15 minutes. It didn’t do much for me. I know it was supposed to be meaningful, but I would much rather have seen her across the table from me in a diner.

Sooner or later we all have to figure out what we are and what we are not. I think I have. I know it’s not too late to change. Maybe I will have some kind of revelation in my final years. But maybe these are my final years, so give me painting and writ-ing, but don’t save the last dance for me.

I think I am just going to tell my thera-pist that it is all Arthur Murray’s fault.

Becoming a minimalist is a challengeHave you ever considered yourself to be

a minimalist in any area of your life? Be-coming a minimalist takes work and needs to be done in moderation, at least for me.

For the past few years I have started the slow migration to becoming a minimalist. I have gone from carrying newspapers, magazines, books and a small Bible with me in my briefcase wherever I went, to downloading all of my reading materi-als onto an e-reader, and now have made the move to an iPad where I can store and access more from the cloud, including my music, notes, contacts, and all of my read-ing materials.

The problem that I have is this: I re-ally miss my “real books.” You know, the hardcover kind, the paperbacks and even the magazines. I do enjoy the simplicity of downloading a book or magazine, but I really miss the time I would spend in the bookstore. The bookstore for me was one of my favorite places, my sanctuary. I could spend hours browsing, reading, and getting lost in a book. I even enjoyed the smell of the books, and there is nothing like being in a place with thousands of new books.

Here is the other problem I encountered while attempting to become a minimalist: too much access to too many things and too much information all in one location. Maybe it’s my lack of focus, but I am literal-ly a less productive reader than when I was reading just one book at a time. So many people know that I am a voracious reader and recommend books for me to read. So I research the book, and if it sounds interest-ing I download it. Before I know it, I have left one book and moved on to another before finishing the first one.

I convince myself that I will be back to finish the previous book, but it never hap-pens. As a matter of fact, it only got worse. More people refer more books and I lose my self-control and download more books. The cycle repeats itself and I end up where I am today, partially through a half-dozen books. If I am to become a true minimalist

when traveling, I have to discipline myself and limit myself to one active book at a time.

I wish that was the only challenge I had. You see, I read a lot of reference, business, faith-based and history books.

I like to write notes in the margins and highlight and underscore the text. I know I can do that on my e-reader or iPad, but nowhere near as fast and as efficiently as I can with my pen and highlighters.

Lastly, as I sit in my office and make calls, write proposals, write columns and coach clients, I can look at my bookshelf and see all the titles right in front of me in one location. My eyes can scan my shelves while talking on the phone and I can im-mediately pull a book off the shelf and look for the dog-eared pages or sticky-note tabs and find what I am looking for right at that moment of need.

When I thought about boxing up all of my books and when I imagined the empty shelves with a lone e-reader or iPad, I knew I had to find a happy medium and that go-ing “all-in” with a digital solution was not the answer for me.

So I am back to the bookstore, back to carrying one book with me in my bag, enjoying the feel of the book, the smell of the ink (It’s almost like that new-car smell, you know what I mean?), and the sound as I turn each page. And I also carry my iPad where I keep just a couple of active materi-als. I downloaded an awesome reference Bible and I use my reader for the maga-

Investors see risk in rally Hindsight is perfect vision.

If investors knew we would be fl irting with 15,000 on the Dow in April 2013, perhaps fewer would have panicked in May 2009 when the same market index was at 6,700. The broader market index as measured by the S&P 500 was at 696 then, and as of this writing is nearing 1,600 or a return of 130 percent. ¹

The lesson from this example and any other market decline is that recoveries typically follow declines. The problem always lies in the unknowns — usually when and how much. Therefore, many investors make long-term decisions based on short-term information. Two confl icting emotions often dictate how we behave with our money: fear or greed.

During the Great Recession, fear was the common denomina-tor for most people tracking their retirement or college funds. Late-ly, greed has started to take over as more folks are wishing they had invested more and could be looking at over 100 percent returns by now.

There are several risk factors that continue to affect this re-

covery, and many people remain fearful despite the large returns. One obvious problem is that the economic growth has been so slow, hampered by unemploy-ment and a stagnant housing market, that the recovery itself was diffi cult to recognize until after it occurred. The contin-ued trajectory, according to the Federal Reserve Board minutes from early April, is that the slow growth is here to stay. No one is predicting any stellar Gross Domestic Product (GDP) bursts in the near future.

Slow growth transcends into another problem: Low interest rates.

The low interest rate environ-ment, designed to loosen the money supply, makes it diffi cult for retirees to get much yield on their fi xed income investments. Since bond values increase when

interest rates decline, the out-look for bond price appreciation is actually negative. Therefore it does not make economic sense to purchase bonds at record high prices for paltry returns.

Another longer-term risk to be aware of is the potential for infl ation creeping back into the economy.

There is signifi cant potential that the consumer will experi-ence higher costs on such staples as food, housing and energy, long before their salary will increase to compensate. Wages are held down as a result of high unemployment; however, food and energy costs are rising. This phenomenon of infl ation before growth is very diffi cult to man-age as an investor or a consumer.

The added volatility in the marketplace is a result of the above three major risks. The whipsaw attitude of when to add growth investments to the portfolio or when to be defen-sive has many investors’ heads spinning. In stock market terms, this is called risk-on or risk-off. Those adding risk because they are now fearful of missing out (greed) are pushing stock prices

higher. Those reducing risk by being defensive either due to age or income needs are sustaining a bond market that otherwise would naturally be declining.

These confl icting attitudes may actually create opportunity. Investors would be wise to revisit their long-term strategy with their advisor.

Confi rm you are diversifi ed in the areas where you feel com-fortable taking risk and that your time frame is appropriate for the investments you are holding.

All about aerifi cation By Tony Koski, CSU Extension Turf Specialist

A few thoughts on lawn aerifi cation (core cultivation) from now through the fall.

If lawns aren’t being regularly watered (as is the case in many communities), the lawns will likely be so hard that aerifi ca-tion will not be terribly effective. That is, plugs will not likely be pulled from such hard lawns without the benefi t of a good soaking rain or a couple of days of inten-sive irrigation.

Lawns that are stressed due to some of the more extreme watering restrictions will not likely benefi t from fall aerifi cation (or earlier “beat the fall rush” aerifi cation being promoted by some companies right now). These stressed lawns may actually suffer additional stress (traffi c stress from the equipment, increased drying because of open holes).

Aerifi cation holes will promote drying of the soil if they do not heal over quick-

ly. On actively growing, regularly watered lawns the holes heal quickly. On stressed, infrequently irrigated lawns the holes will stay open longer and thus promote drying of the soil — something we don’t need at this point. Plus, drought stressed and (es-pecially) non irrigated lawns will not pro-duce much in the way of new roots this fall — even if they are aerifi ed. In fact, they may produce more roots if left undis-turbed (not aerifi ed) than if they are aeri-fi ed.

Those lawns that are being watered enough to get good penetration/plug pull-ing would probably benefi t because they are growing “normally” (new roots will form, holes will heal over).

So, lawns that do not appear to be under stress and are irrigated regularly enough to allow effective pulling of cores can benefi t from fall aerifi cation. Where watering re-strictions have resulted in stressed lawns and hard soil, aerifi cation may not be ef-fective and may actually cause more harm than good.

How to keep your land pest-free By StatePoint

Spending time outdoors can recharge the soul and bring the family together. In your own backyard you can fi nd beauty, enjoyment and a place to connect with na-ture — so long as you make sure to main-tain all those beautiful trees and plants.

Whether you have a garden, woodlands or natural landscaping on your property, you’ll want to keep your land healthy and free of unwanted pests. And experts say that woodlands need special attention.

“Although trees look strong, woodland ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made dangers that can gradually reduce the health and beauty of your woods,” says Mike Burns, forester and program resource manager with the Amer-ican Forest Foundation.

A U.S. Forest Service assessment re-leased last December predicts that as ma-ny as 34 million acres of forest land could be lost in the United States during the next 50 years, and that all regions in the Unit-ed States will experience increased stress from natural disasters and pest infesta-tions.

Luckily, there are steps landowners can take to help keep trees and woodlands safe from pests:

• Keep an eye out for changes. On trees, spots of yellow or brown or some thinning needles might be the effects of natural shading on lower limbs — or it might be a disease or insect that’s about to spread to other trees.

• Stay informed about threats in your

area. Contact your state forestry agency or state department of natural resources to fi nd out what’s bugging your area.

• Monitor for pests and signs of disease every month or two. Check trees on the trunk, limbs, twigs, under peeling bark and leaves — the most likely places to fi nd injuries. Keep your eye open for things that look out of the ordinary.

• Online resources can help you be-come a better steward of your land. If you own some woodlands, consider signing up for the My Land Plan resource, launched by the American Forest Foundation. My Land Plan can help you connect with up-to-date information about pest threats, map your land’s boundaries and record changes over time, all at www.MyLand-Plan.org. You can explore the website’s newly expanded invasive pest and patho-gen section and locate professional servic-es available for your needs.

• If you suspect an outbreak, collect samples of tree damage and any associated pests to accurately identify the problem, which may have more than one cause. Take pictures and notes on your trees’ symptoms. Often pictures are enough for an expert to identify the problem and help you fi gure out what to do next. Next steps can be identifi ed by your state for-estry agency or department of natural re-sources.

• If you discover an insect that you sus-pect might be a danger to your trees, seal it in a container and store it in the freezer until you can deliver it to a proper author-ity.

Slaying may derail bail-bond measure Death of corrections chief could be game-changer By Vic Vela [email protected]

The circumstances surrounding the recent slaying of Colorado’s pris-ons chief is causing Republican state lawmakers to have second thoughts on a bill that seeks to change how bail bond violators are punished.

House Bill 1242, a Democratic-sponsored bill that would repeal the mandatory sentencing structure of bail bond violations, had GOP support just last month.

That was then. This is now.

The bill’s fate is up in the air now that Re-publicans — some of whom voted for the legislation following a recent legislative committee hearing — are voicing oppo-sition to the measure, causing Democratic leadership to yank the bill from being voted on last week.

The bill, which is being sponsored by Rep. Brittany Pettersen, D-Lake-wood, would give judges and pros-ecutors discretion in how they punish people who violate their release con-ditions while they are out on bond for a criminal charge.

Currently, if a person violates con-ditions of bond for any reason — be it for the commission of a new crime or simply arriving late to a court hear-ing — he or she faces a mandatory one-year jail term, if their underlying charge is a felony.

A bail bond violation for an under-lying misdemeanor offense carries

with it a mandatory six-month jail sentence.

Pettersen believes that not all bond violations should carry equal punish-ment.

“The bill leaves it up to judicial dis-cretion to look at the circumstance, versus having a mandatory sentence,” Pettersen recently told Colorado Com-munity Media. “If it’s somebody who can’t make it to court, versus some-body looking to fl ee, the judge can take that into account.”

Slaying casts shadowThe bill passed the House Judiciary

Committee on a 10-0 bipartisan vote, following a March 26 hearing. It then passed the Appropriations Committee on April 9.

But Republicans now cite parole-related missteps involving the man who allegedly murdered Department of Corrections Director Tom Clements last month, as a key reason behind their change of heart.

Clements was killed in his Monu-ment home on March 19, allegedly by Evan Ebel — who died in a shootout with authorities in Texas days after Clements’ death.

Ebel, who had a long criminal his-tory, was out on parole at the time of the killing. But it turned out that he had removed his ankle monitoring device while on parole, and that DOC did not become aware of the tamper-ing until days after the fact.

Though Pettersen’s bill has noth-ing to do with DOC monitoring, Re-publicans see the legislation as akin to having more criminals on the streets, when they don’t have to be.

“I suspect there is an increased fo-cus on these types of issues and these types of bills since we learned of the various failings in the DOC system, with regard to the Clements murder,”

said Rep. Frank McNulty, R-Highlands Ranch. “And I do think that, for a lot of members, that did change their per-spective.”

Each of the four Republican House members who voted for the bill in committee are now either express-ing concerns about the bill, or plan to change their votes: Polly Lawrence of Littleton, Bob Gardner of Colorado Springs, Jared Wright of Fruita and Carole Murray of Castle Rock.

But Pettersen points out that Clem-ents’ death occurred before the March 26 committee hearing, and that her bill has nothing to do with allowing criminals to get a free walk whenever they violate their bail conditions.

“That doesn’t mean that we don’t expect everyone to be in court when they’re supposed to be,” she said. “You can still do the max. It doesn’t take that option away.”

House Majority Leader Dickey Lee Hullinghorst, D-Gunbarrel, said she still hopes to get the bill through, in spite of what she thinks are Republi-can behind-the-scenes games aimed at killing the legislation.

“We’re having some diffi culty on the (House) fl oor, which we’re having a hard time fi guring out,” she said of Republican opposition. “Maybe its gotcha, I don’t know. I hope that after all the tomfoolery we’ll be able to pass a good bill.”

But McNulty said Democrats should look at themselves in the mir-ror to fi nd out why the bill is being stalled.

“For them to say that’s on us, they either don’t recognize that they’re in the majority, or they have other issues on their side that they’re using as an excuse as they try to get out of it,” he said.

The bill had yet to be voted on by press time on April 15.

INSIDE

Where were you born?Born in Denver Colorado around the time dirt was in-

vented

How long have you lived in the area?A REALLY long time – since birth

What do you like most about it?I love the mountains and the outdoor opportuni-

ties.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?20 years

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

Foreclosures have always been a part of my business. Everything from helping people involved in the process to selling bank owned properties. We have done 100’s of properties and learned a lot.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?Keeping up with the search for new opportunities.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not working?I enjoy the outdoors and music; love to fish and play gui-

tar – not at the same time.

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

The best tip I can give someone selling is to hire me. What I mean by that is that you need someone with a lot of knowl-edge and the ability to continue to learn. These two things create win / win for Sellers. The process is complicated and changing. I work at helping clients reach their goal. If they

do then I win as well.

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

It’s the same as for sellers except for one additional item. Lending has become very complex. Finding the right lender for your SPECIFIC case is essential. The pitfalls have grown over the past few years. Working with an agent and a loan originator that know how to get through it all is the biggest and the most important part of the process.

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

The most unusual and funniest cannot be mentioned here but I will say this… when you deal with people and profes-sional services you see and hear lots of weird stuff. Usually

what appears to be unusual is the expectations of people on all sides of a trans-action. It seems weird but is usu-ally due to lack of understand-ing and knowl-edge – some-times funny and sometimes sad. The key is to stay ready to bring perspectives to-gether.

Lending StandardSRandy Spierings, CPA, MBA Branch Manager, Mortgage LenderLMB# 100022405NMLS# 217152Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc. Office: 303-256-5748www.BestColoradoMortgages.comrspierings@primeres.comRegulated by Division of Real EstateHas been a CPA for over 30 years

Q: With housing at sky-high affordability are

lenders still lending? Can I get a loan with the new strict-er lending standards that are out there today? Are there low down payment programs still available?

A: You are correct that lending standards have

changed dramatically in the last few years as banks and lenders have gone from very loose standards, particularly on subprime loans in the 2000s, to stricter standards today. Verification of abil-ity to repay and assets for downpayment (and some-times reserves), are now re-quired as the stated income/stated asset or no income/no asset loans no longer exist. Waiting periods after bank-

ruptcies, loan modifications, short sales, and foreclosures have all been extended – but loans are still available, even for people that have had those credit blemishes.

As for low down pay-ment programs, many coun-ties, as well as CHAFA, offer down payment assistance programs, although most of those come with income or asset qualifiers. Addition-ally, grant programs with in-come qualifiers reduce down payment requirements to around $1000. The VA loan program, for veterans, offers a no downpayment program, and VA fees can be waived for those with disabilities. FHA offers a program with only 3.5 percent of the pur-chase price as a downpay-ment. The USDA program also offers a zero down pro-gram in certain rural areas. Finally, conventional loans are available with as little as 5 percent down.

If you’re looking to pur-chase or refinance, seek out an experienced, trustworthy, financially savvy lender, that you can meet face to face,

who has access to the full spectrum of loan and grant programs. Then work with them to select the proper loan and grant programs and have them customize them to best suit your needs.

For more information on how you can purchase or refinance a home, please

contact our lending expert, Randy Spierings, CPA (over 30 years), NMLS #217152, branch manager for Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc., a local lender you can trust, at 303-256-5748 or [email protected]. www.BestColoradoMortgages.com Regulated by the Divi-

sion of Real Estate – MLO #100022405. PRMI is an equal housing lender.

guarantee and will give you $500 at closing if they don’t meet or exceed your expec-tations. They offer a full loan spectrum, including VA, FHA, USDA, Jumbo, and conventional, among others, and are among the top 10 re-tail FHA lenders in the U. S. today. n

Museum graced by tapestriesAcclaimed Dutch artist creates colorful worksBy Sonya [email protected]

“We believe that we, all of us, need to seek a new approach to the environment,” says internationally recognized Dutch art-ist Claudy Jongstra, whose works are on display at Englewood’s Museum of Outdoor Arts.

Colorful tapestries hanging in the sec-ond floor atrium at Englewood’s Civic Center serve as an introduction to the ex-ceptional collection displayed inside the Museum of Outdoor Arts’ indoor gallery.

Step inside gallery doors and one is sur-rounded with fragrance, texture and in-tense color.

Jongstra has worked with architects and curators throughout Europe and the U.S., spreading her message of sustainability, of connecting with nature — and beautifying large public spaces, as well as homes, res-taurants and other environments.

The new Barnes Collection in Philadel-phia, the Fries Museum in the Netherlands, The Victoria and Albert Museum in Lon-don, Queen Mary University in London and the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts in New York are but a few of the institutions where her large felt panels are installed.

Jongstra has a farm in the northern Netherlands where she keeps 150 sheep — 17th-century Drenthe Heath heritage ani-mals with long shaggy coats — which sup-ply the wool.

A large garden grows traditional dye plants providing colors such as indigo, madder, St. John’s Wort, rhubarb, larkspur and weld.

She keeps bees to pollinate her flowers and dyes wool in hues reminiscent of 17th-century Dutch Masters paintings.

Nothing is wasted as she and members of her atlier (studio) create tapestries, wall coverings and other products to soften the environments where people work and live. Atlier associates Marleen Engebersen and Maeve van Klaveren, who work in Amster-dam, are with Jongstra to install the exhibit.

Additional supplies are included in her work, such as silk, linen, merino wool, al-paca — all of them add textures to the work on display at MOA through July 13.

In the gallery are a variety of panels and tapestries, skeins and bundles of yarn, sam-ples of dried dye plants. A labyrinth of dried yellow chamomile flowers rests just to the right of the entrance beneath loops of dyed yarn samples.

A countertop display illustrates the felt-ing process, where wools are layered, then soaked and compressed.

Ahead to the left are a series of sheer silk organza panels with wool felted onto them

in a random design, like little clouds float-ing.

Similar sheer panels at the end of the gallery in front of the windows are further enhanced with colored embroidery.

A second labyrinth form on the floor is overlaid with carded silk, which has a sil-very sheen.

Wall panels to the left are covered in a felted linen and were made in Colorado with fabric shipped from the Netherlands. A large tapestry with a series of red circles leads a visitor into the smaller gallery space, which holds more and varied tapestries.

Sheer silk organza panels hanging in the Museum of Outdoor Arts gallery have sheep’s wool felted on them, plus embroidery with hand-dyed yarns. Photos by Deborah Grigsby

Internationally known Dutch textile artist Claudy Jongstra prides herself on creations made with sustainable materials, such as this panel made of silk organza decorated with wool from her own sheep.

if you goThe Claudy Jongstra exhibit will be at the Museum of Outdoor Arts indoor gallery on the second level of the Englewood Civic Center through July 13. It is located at 1000 Englewood Parkway. Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays; 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Fridays; 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays. Admission is free. 303-806-0444.

laugh lady pitches pilot

Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works in LoDo and south in the Landmark devel-opment, is peddling a six-minute “sizzle reel” for a reality TV series about her crazy Comedy Works world.

“The working title is called `Comedy Works’,” said Curtis, who wouldn’t divulge where or to whom she’s pitching the pilot project. “The principal characters are me, Lucy (her four-legged child), Jeff, our GM of the south club, and an assistant who is a sexy little 20-something who wants to break into comedy.

“There are a few more (characters) slated to be introduced early on, but there’s only so much to get across in six minutes! We’ve gotten some strong feedback from the business; now let’s see if we can sell it.”

Curtis said her motivation for exploring the reality TV possibilities was primarily financial.

“Money inspired me ... to get out from underneath my debt faster!” she said.

Presidential projectWant to show former President Jimmy

Carter and first lady Rosalynn Carter what you would do if you had a hammer? Would you hammer in the morning? Hammer in the evening? All over this land?

A few lucky folks will be chosen to work alongside the Carters during the 2013 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver from Oct. 6 through 11.

This is the 30th anniversary of the presidential Habitat for Humanity event, and Denver is one of three cities in the U.S. getting the special project.

Volunteers will build 11 new town-homes and repair up to 15 existing homes in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood.

Makes senseWhen the creative team behind the mu-

sical interpretation of Jane Austen’s classic novel “Sense & Sensibility” first presented their idea to Tony-nominated director Mar-cia Milgrom Dodge, she thought they were kidding.

How could Austen’s iconic 1811 work of romantic fiction possibly translate into a piece for musical theater?

But the team convinced Milgrom Dodge, who fell in love with the formidable project. The result made its world premiere April 5 in Denver Center’s Stage Theatre.

The result is a whimsical romp through the lives and loves of the Dashwood sisters, who go from riches to rags after the death of their father.

The sisters and their mother move to Barton Cottage in Devonshire, near the home of her cousin, Sir John Middleton. It’s at Barton where a series of tangled ro-mances finally straighten themselves out.

The exciting production values include sets that slide on and off stage or emerge from below or descend into trap doors.

“Sense & Sensibility the Musical” runs through May 26. Tickets: 303-893-4100 or www.denvercenter.org.

DIA’s design delights“USA Today” recently included Den-

ver International Airport in its list of the “world’s most beautiful airports.”

and Marcia McGilley, Executive Director of the South Metro Den-ver Small Business Development Center.

Winners will be announced at the 28th Annual South Metro Denver Small Business Leader-ship Awards Event on Wednesday, May 1, 2013, from 3:30 – 7:00 pm at Comedy Works South in Green-wood Village. The event, which is always light-hearted as well as inspirational, will be emceed by a local comedian.

Rockin’ Out for JesusA Contemporary

Christian Choir Camp

Music, verve make for lively play By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

As the audience enters the Vintage The-atre, it fi nds an old-fashioned wrap-around porch fi lling the stage — like the ones found on big old Southern homes. The setup for the band is just in front of the stage, which works really well — except perhaps for front row seats. Interaction between band and cast adds a nice note.

Vintage Theatre, with director Deb Flomberg, has staged a really polished, well-designed production of the perenni-ally popular “Best Little Whorehouse in Tex-as,” with its mix of ladies of the night and their wonderful madam, Miss Mona; two-faced politicians; a sheriff who just wants to run his territory undisturbed; and a bunch of randy football players.

With score and lyrics by Carol Hall and a book by Larry L. King and Peter Master-son, the 1978 original Broadway production garnered six Tony Awards: for Best Musical, Featured Actor and Actress, Direction, Book and Choreography — in other words, a solid bit of material to work with. And Flomberg has picked up on the satire and humor to craft a well-paced, entertaining piece.

The story is based on one written by King about the actual Chicken Ranch, in

Texas since 1910 — and its demise, lend-ing itself to larger-than-life character. Boni McIntyre is a fi ne, self-assured Miss Mona, as she sings about the Chicken Ranch. Scott

Bellott shows his versatility as the tough-talking Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd.

Chris Gallegos may overact a bit as Mel-vin P. Thorp, the do-gooder who wants to

clean up the world, but Patrick Brownson is right on as the governor with his “Sidestep” dance.

Choreography by Jamie Horban is clev-erly worked out in limited space and Shaun Albrechtson’s set allows scenes within and without.

Some of said scenes are probably not ap-propriate for the youngest family members, but teens and adults should enjoy the lively music and action.

“Really this show is about just forget-ting your troubles, sitting back and getting lost in a world fi lled with bright colors, fun, music, dance — lots and lots of dance,” said Flomberg.

“Look closely and you’ll also fi nd a story of strength in the face of adversity, moral corruption, political strife and loyalty to those who matter most. But you’ll also fi nd fringe. And cowboy boots. And maybe even some sequins.”

CHAC Gallery features ‘Santitos’Religious images on display through AprilBy Sonya [email protected]

Retablos, bultos, crosses and more are on exhibit this month at Chicano Humani-ties and Arts Council in Denver’s Santa Fe Arts District.

“For generations, Hispanic villagers of New Mexico and southern Colorado have created Santos — religious images of Cath-olic Christian saints and Biblical scenes,” said curator Santero Ronn Miera. “They used them in their homes, churches and private chapels to aid in worship and for adornment ….”

“Santitos” is the name of the 12th annual group show of traditional and contempo-rary santos and crosses at the CHAC Gal-lery, 772 Santa Fe Drive.

Participating artists include Teresa Du-ran of Arvada; Jose Esquibel, Littleton; Lynn Fresquez and Vanessa Fresquez, Denver;

Ronn Miera, Brighton; and Carlos Santiste-van y Familia, Denver.

Master Santero Santistevan and his award-winning children Carlos Santistevan Jr. and Brigida Montes have created a fam-ily display

Paintings and statues came up the Cami-no Real from Mexico with the first colonists to New Mexico in 1598 such as Don Juan de Onate. Between 30 and 50 mission church-es were established. Early images were oil paintings, which could be rolled to travel, but local artists began to carve and paint wooden images and altar screens.

Today’s santeros and santeras use many of the same materials their ancestors did — carving, finishing and sometimes painting to tell traditional stories.

A Santito or Benedito is a small bless-ing given to a person who is headed out on

a journey, Miera said. Usually, they were made by a parent or grandparent.

Esquibel, a scholar in the field, will talk at 1 p.m. April 20 about “Modern Usage of Santos.” He says we can use santos to en-hance people’s lives. They can reconnect us to each other … ease pain and sorrow of this time and the circumstance in which we live.

Modern usage is described as (1) Use of santos as a surrogate for our presence. (2) Use as teaching aids and devices. (3) Use to express a profound sentiment that cannot be expressed in any other way. (4) To cele-brate accomplishments or mark significant public events. He will give examples and encourage conversation.

He said he is tending the gallery on Saturdays. Visitors will find a friendly and knowledgeable source of information if they stop to ask questions about subjects or techniques.

Library hosting authors’ eventAnnual open house to feature 47 writers from Colorado

By Tom [email protected]

The Englewood Public Library will offer visitors an opportunity to ask ques-tions about the challenges and rewards of being a published author during the 14th annual “Meet the Faces Behind the Books” program, set for 1-4 p.m. April 28.

Deb Parker, executive as-sistant, said she signed up 47 Colorado authors for the event.

The “Meet the Faces Be-hind the Books” program is free, open to the public, and will be held at the li-brary on the ground floor of the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway.

The annual event has an informal atmosphere. The authors will have copies of their books for sale and signing, and people will be able to talk with them about the art of writing and the challenges of getting pub-lished in today’s competi-tive market.

Twenty of the authors write books for young adults

and children. This year, sev-eral children’s authors will each do a 20-minute story time, sharing important points about the books he or she writes.

When the event was held the first year, 10 Colo-rado authors took part in the program and about 100 people came to the event. Library personnel spent quite a bit of time lining up writers. But, as the event grew over the years and the word spread, authors began calling and asking to be part of the program.

Parker said the criteria established the first year is still in place, requiring au-thors to have a book pub-

lished in the preceding two years.

Judging from comments from authors at previ-ous event, this gathering is popular because it is an opportunity for authors to be exposed to new readers and for readers to meet the people who wrote books they have read. The event also is a plus for the Engle-wood Public Library, intro-ducing the facility to people who may have never visited it before.

This year’s lineup in-cludes writers of fiction and non-fiction for adults, children’s authors as well as those who writer books for young adults.

Authors sit at tables so visitors can chat with them about writing or publishing during last year’s “Meet the Faces Behind the Books” event. This year, there will be 47 authors at the event scheduled for April 28. File photo

Steak escapeThe Travel Channel recently aired an

episode of the series “Food Paradise” with a third “Steak Paradise” edition, which included a stop at Vesta Dipping Grill, 1822 Blake St.

Personally, when I think Denver steak house, Vesta doesn’t come to top of mind, but the “Food Paradise” peeps “steaked” a claim to Vesta.

In the piece, diners rave about Vesta’s beef steak dishes - including the signature surf and turf, which is a flatiron steak with Manila clams - as well as waxing poetic about Vesta’s venison filet.

Former executive chef Matt Selby (who now runs the kitchen at Corner House), talks about the veracity of venison for the camera.

The segment likely will air again on the Travel Channel, but until then, you can check it out at www.travelchannel.com/video/a-steak-by-any-other-name.

Wings of Hope fights cancerThe Wildlife Experience in Parker will

host the second Evening of Hope, a fund-raising event for Wings of Hope, at 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 25. Author and former Vietnam War-era Air Force pilot Brian Shul will give a special presentation for the benefit for pancreatic cancer research at

the University of Colorado Cancer Center. The event also will include a silent auction, drinks and hors d’oeuvres.

Walt Imhoff, who lost his wife, Georgia, to pancreatic cancer in 2009, is the event’s presenting sponsor.

Maureen A. Shul, who lost her brother and mother to pancreatic cancer, founded Wings of Hope and was the founding mayor of Castle Pines.

Spokes townThe people have “spoken” and Denver

has emerged triumphant in REI’s hotly contested Cycle Town Showdown, which pitted several U.S. cities against each other in a battle to see which city was the most bike friendly.

The outcome was no surprise to anyone who has enjoyed the Mile High City’s 850 miles of paved off-road bike paths and more than 300 days of sunshine every year.

Denver defeated Portland in the final round of the eight-city NCAA Tournament-style bracket. See the final bracket at www.rei.com/features/infographics/cycling-town-showdown.html.

Visitors can experience this two-wheel paradise by using Denver B-cycle, the pio-neering bike-share system. B-cycle features 56 B-stations located all over the city. The program will increase to 86 stations by the end of 2013.

Pirates aim to regain winning form Team needs wins to make bid for baseball playo� s By Tom Munds [email protected]

Since Englewood won’t win a league baseball title with its au-tomatic playoff berth, the Pirates’ focus now shifts to winning their remaining games to nail down a wild-card spot in the 32-team Class 4A state tournament.

“We have been battling since we were 5-1, and the three losses means we probably won’t win one of the two league playoff berths,” Pirates coach Mike Rowe said April 15, when the Pirates’ record was 6-4-1, with a 3-3 record in the Colorado 7 league.

“So, we need to focus on the re-maining eight games because ev-ery win gives us points that could help us get a wild-card playoff berth.”

There are 71 Class 4A teams in about a dozen leagues. The state format means 26 to 28 teams will gain automatic playoff berths, based on league fi nishes.

The Pirates now are seeking to earn one of the remaining four to six wild-card berths.

Weather permitting, the Pi-rates were to be at home April 18 in a non-league game against Jef-ferson, and on April 19, they are scheduled to travel to Weld Cen-tral to play a game postponed by weather.

On April 22, the Pirates are on the road at Kennedy High School, then will begin a home-and-home series with Vista Peak and a home-and-home series with Fort Morgan to close out the regular season.

As the season enters the home stretch, the coach said the team played well the fi rst six games of the year, but then things became more diffi cult as poor grades side-lines some of the players.

“We have moved guys around,

they have done their best, but we have struggled for the last few games,” Rowe said. “For example, early in the year, we were pound-ing the baseball. Lately, facing ba-sically the same caliber pitching, we aren’t getting base hits, partic-ularly those timely hits we need, so we are leaving a lot of guys in scoring position.”

The coach said the hope is the team will once again have the full roster needed to help the Pirates return to their winning ways.

So far this season, Gerardo Gutierrez is playing well. He was a starter last year and has been be-hind the plate for most games this season.

“I like being a catcher,” he said

in a recent interview. “Behind the plate, you are part

of every play your team makes in the fi eld.”

He said the most diffi cult job as a catcher is digging out the low pitches that are in the dirt while

making sure the ball doesn’t get by you.

“I work a lot on smothering and handling the low pitches, and I also work to make better throws to second base so we can put out a guy trying to steal,” he

said.Gutierrez said he is hitting the

ball pretty well this season and attributed the success to the fact that the Pirates now have an in-door hitting cage, and the fact that he worked on his hitting in the cage almost every day, even dur-ing football season.

“I am working to be able to pull the ball to the opposite fi eld and avoid getting jammed by a pitch at the plate,” he said.

“I feel I am hitting pretty well this season. In a recent game, I went four-for-four with a home run. It felt good to hit a homer. I got the ball on the sweet spot and it felt like a practice swing, but I knew it was going to clear the fence right away.”

Englewood girls competitive in tennis Returning letter winners help bolster young squad By Tom Munds [email protected]

Englewood’s girls tennis team raised its overall dual meet record to 3-2 and its league record to 2-0 on April 11 by posting a 4-3 win home win over Fort Lupton.

“We really are playing pretty well so far this season,” Coach Kenny Anderson said

before the Fort Lupton match. “We basically are a young, inexperienced

team. While we do have fi ve girls returning from last year, only three of them played varsity. The other two girls played junior varsity and rest of our team is basically new to the sport.”

Anderson added that this year’s team is in its fi rst year in the Colorado 7 League, which is a big plus because the league is made up of teams at about the same talent level as the Pirates.

“It is good to go out with a chance to win a league match,” he said. “That’s better than Englewood’s Cecilia Esparza delivers a serve in her No. 2 singles match against Fort Lupton. Esparza won the April 11

match in straight sets. Photo by Tom Munds Tennis continues on Page 25

Pirates aim to regain winning form

said.Gutierrez said he is hitting the

ball pretty well this season and attributed the success to the fact that the Pirates now have an in-door hitting cage, and the fact that he worked on his hitting in the cage almost every day, even dur-ing football season.

“I am working to be able to pull the ball to the opposite fi eld and avoid getting jammed by a pitch at the plate,” he said.

“I feel I am hitting pretty well this season. In a recent game, I went four-for-four with a home run. It felt good to hit a homer. I got the ball on the sweet spot and it felt like a practice swing, but I knew it was going to clear the fence right away.”

Englewood girls competitive in tennis

before the Fort Lupton match. “We basically are a young, inexperienced

team. While we do have fi ve girls returning from last year, only three of them played varsity. The other two girls played junior varsity and rest of our team is basically new to the sport.”

Anderson added that this year’s team is in its fi rst year in the Colorado 7 League, which is a big plus because the league is made up of teams at about the same talent level as the Pirates.

“It is good to go out with a chance to win a league match,” he said. “That’s better than

past seasons when we faced really tough competition in just about every match, including top state competi-tors like Evergreen and Kent Denver.”

The Pirates are now into the home stretch of their season, with most of the remaining dual matches against league opponents.

Englewood was scheduled to be at home April 16, but that will have to be rescheduled because of snow. The next match on the schedule is on the road against league title contender Fort Morgan April 18, but the winter-like weather could force that match to be rescheduled as well.

The fi nal home match of the season is scheduled April 23 against Skyview, and the Pirates wrap up the regular season April 26 at Fort Morgan for the league tournament.

Home matches begin at 4:30 p.m. on the courts at Romans Park, 1700 E. Floyd Ave. because construction of the seventh- through 12th-grade campus at Englewood High School included demolition of the tennis courts.

The home matches are open to the public and admission is free.

The Englewood-Fort Lupton match

was a battle between two pretty evenly matched teams.

Englewood got wins from Christina McNitt at No. 1 singles and Cecilia Es-parza at No. 2 singles, to go with Ad-die Silfast and Marissa Johnson at No. 2 doubles and Kaytlyn Martinez and Shelby Moore at No. 3 doubles to win the match 4-3.

After her match, junior Cecilia Es-parza talked about tennis as well as about her future.

“I really like tennis. It is my sport,” she said.

“My freshman year, I was sitting on my couch, I was bored and so I de-cided to go out for tennis and I found I like the sport a lot.”

She said the hardest tennis skill for her to learn was to deliver an effective serve.

“My serves are getting much bet-ter,” she said.

“Part of that is because I learned

a new serve with backspin on it. The backspin makes the ball go higher and makes it harder to return.”

Looking beyond tennis, Esparza talked about her plans for the future.

“I am graduating early so, next year, I can go to Mexico to attend medi-cal school,” she said. “I am going to a school in Guadalajara in the middle of the country. I like Mexico and it takes less time to become a doctor in their schools.”

She said that in Mexico, she will spend four years in general medical studies, a year of internship, a year of community service and three years studying her specialty, pediatrics.

“I want to be a pediatrician because I like kids,” she said.

“When I complete all my training needed to be licensed as a doctor, I plan to stay in the city where I went to school and build my practice treating Mexican children.”

Sheepin’ it RealPHOTOS BY DEBORAH GRIGSBY

Sheep to Shawl is an annual Littleton Museum educational event that walks visitors through the process of turning wool into cloth using 18th-century tech-niques. Demonstrations of sheep-shear-ing, wool-dyeing and hand-spinning took visitors to the 1860s at this classic spring festival, held April 13. Dogs dis-played their skills with sheep-herding demonstrations throughout the day.

For more than 30 years, the Littleton Museum has served as the primary re-pository for the history, art and culture of Littleton.

The 39-acre facility at 6028 S. Gallup St. has two living history farms — one from the 1860s and one from the 1890s — a small lake, a collections center, and a main exhibition and administration building.

The � rst step in processing wool begins on the farm with the shearing of the animal. Bob Schroth, a museum interpreter, uses electric shears with an articulated arm to remove a sheep’s wool during a demonstration at the Littleton Museum’s Sheep to Shawl event.

Rosie the herd-ing dog plays a role like her counterparts on working sheep farms and ranches, where dogs work closely with humans to e� ectively and e� ciently move animals from place to place.

Brightly colored strands of sheep yarn dry in the sun at the Littleton Museum’s Sheep to Shawl event. The annual festival documents traditional wool processing steps, from shearing, to working the wool, to weaving it into beautiful usable items such as shawls.

Jennifer Woeste, a historical interpreter with the Littleton Museum, examines the beautiful crimson yarn she has dyed using traditional methods found in the 1860s. Woeste and others were part of the museum’s annual Sheep to Shawl event on April 13.

B.Water to be Usedfor the Replacement of Depletions: Re-turn flows from the use of not-nontributaryground water. 16. Statement of Plan forAugmentation: A. Maximum Use and Re-placement Amounts. The Denver aquiferground water will be withdrawn and usedfor in-house use (0.4 acre-feet), and irriga-tion of lawn, garden, and trees (0.4 acre-feet) through a new well. Sewage treat-ment for in-house use will be provided bya non-evaporative septic system. Use andreturn flows from such uses are estimatedas follows: Domestic (in-Residence) Uses:Amount Used - 0.4 acre-feet; Percent ofUse Returned: 90%; Amount of Use Re-turned: 0.36 acre-feet. Irrigation (outdoor)Uses: Amount Used - 0.4 acre-feet; Per-cent of Use Returned: 10%; Amount ofUse Returned: 0.04 acre-feet. TotalAmount Used: 0.8 acre-feet. Total AmountReturned: 0.40 acre-feet. B. ReplacementDuring Pumping Period. Applicants areobligated to replace 4% of the amountpumped annually to the stream system, orup to a maximum of 0.032 acre-feet. Re-turn flows from domestic uses will be over10 times that amount. C. Post-PumpingReplacement. Applicants will reserve anequal amount of nontributary groundwaterunderlying the Subject Property to meetpost-pumping augmentation requirements.D. Location of Stream Depletions and Re-placements. Stream depletions will occurto Cherry Creek, tributary to the SouthPlatte River. E. Full Replacement ofStream Depletions. Return flows gener-ated from the non-evaporative septic sys-tem and from outdoor irrigation will fullyreplace modeled stream depletions. 17.Non-Injury: Because all stream depletionscaused by pumping from the Denveraquifer at this location will be adequatelyreplaced in time, location, and amount, noinjury will occur to vested and decreedconditional water rights of others. 18. Ad-ditional Remarks: A. Applicants requestthe Court enter a ruling and decree adju-dicating Applicants’ underlying DenverBasin aquifer ground water as describedin this application. B. Applicants requestthe Court enter a ruling and decree adju-dicating a plan for augmentation as de-scribed in this application for the replace-ment of 4% of the withdrawals from theDenver aquifer. 19. Compliance with Noti-fication Requirements: In compliance withHouse Bill 93-1060 (C.R.S. § 37-92-302(2)(b)), Applicants assert that there isone entity that has a lien or mortgage on,or deed of trust to, the overlying land re-corded in the county in which the overly-ing land is located. Such entity will be noti-fied of the filing of this application as re-quired by this statute. 20. Request forEntry of Ruling and Decree: A. Grantingthe application herein and awarding theground water rights claimed herein as fi-nal water rights, except as to those issuesfor which jurisdiction of the Court will bespecifically retained, so that the State En-gineer may issue well permits for suchwell(s) as Applicants request under thisdecree, subject to the limitations de-scribed in such ruling and decree; and B.Finding and determining that Applicants’proposed plan for augmentation is ad-equate to fully compensate the affectedstream system and that operation of suchplan will prevent injury to the water rightsof others.
