Student count shows growthBump is first since 2001By Tom [email protected]

Englewood School District records show an increase in students for first time in about a decade.

The official count shows Englewood has 2,938 students, not counting those in preschool, which is 21 students more than were in classes on Oct. 1, 2011.

“We are obviously pleased with the stu-dent count and even this small increase in enrollment,” said Brian Ewert, school su-perintendent. “The increase was generally over all levels. However, we did see an in-crease in kindergarten enrollment and had to add at least one additional kindergarten class at Bishop Elementary School.”

Englewood first enrollment decline was reported in 1996 when there were 4,520 stu-dents in class, 64 fewer than the year before.

While enrollment declined most years, the student count was up in 1997 and again in 2000. However, the constant decline started in 2001 when there were 4,341 stu-dents in Englewood schools. There were drops of 100 or more students for the next five years, with the biggest decline coming in 2006, when there were 3,413 students en-rolled, 233 fewer than the year before.

“I would like to think the community has taken a closer look at our schools before moving their children to other districts,” Ewert said. “There is a lot going on in our district and I think that has generated a lot of positive enthusiasm in our community.”

He pointed to the $58 million project un-der way. He said construction has begun on a $40 million project to create a new, state-of-the-art seventh- through 12th-grade

Veterans tribute sends chillsSmall crowd ignores cold at Fort Logan National CemeteryBy Tom [email protected]

Despite the blast of wintry weather, the speeches, wreath-laying and 21-gun salute went on as planned Nov. 11 at the annual Veterans Day ceremonies at Fort Logan Na-tional Cemetery.

This is the 35th year that Department of Colorado District 10 of the Veterans of For-eign Wars and Ladies Auxiliary has spon-sored the event honoring all those who have served or are serving in the U.S. armed forces.

Don McNeely, Veterans of Foreign War District 10 senior vice commander, said the day is very important because it is a time set aside to honor veterans and those now in the service for what they’ve done for their country.

McNeely not only is active in the VFW, he is a member of the Veterans Honor Guard.

“I was the commander of the honor guard at the Presidio in California when I was on active duty and, when I learned about the Veterans Honor Guard, I signed up,” the Vietnam veteran said. “We serve as the honor guard and fire the salute at funer-als for veterans. I feel honored to be part of the group paying final tribute to a veteran.”

This year, about a dozen young men and women who are members of Centennial’s Young Marine unit cleared away snow from the podium area, handed out programs and held the national, state and armed forces flags in place as a stiff wind started to blow

during the ceremonies.Brenda McNulty, unit commander, said

young men and women joining the orga-nization go through recruit training focus-ing on subjects like physical training and drill. Then they join the unit serving as volunteers in a number of veterans’ events and providing informational programs at schools.

As the time drew near for the start of the ceremonies, a small crowd filtered in. Near the front of the seating area, Linda Wexler drew her coat around her against the chilly temperatures.

The Littleton resident said she is the fourth generation of her family to join the Army soon after graduating from high school.

“I came back to Colorado after my hitch in the Army and, for the last six years, I have made it a point to come to the Fort Logan

ceremonies on Veterans Day,” she said. “I know what it is like to serve in the military and I feel being here is the least I can do to honor those who served before and after I was in the Army.”

She said she also comes to Fort Logan on Veterans Day to visit the graves of two friends and three family members because she feels that is the least she can do.

A short distance away, Tina Mason also hugged her coat around her against the cold.

“Coming to Fort Logan for Veterans Day is something I have done since I was a girl,” the Sheridan resident said. “My dad, Har-old, was commander of Sheridan VFW Post 9644 in the ‘60s, and I understand he is one of those who helped start the annual cer-emonies for Veterans Day.”

She said she comes every year to honor the veterans and also to honor her dad and his dedication to recognize all the men and women who served their country in the military.

Fire study nearly finalCouncils will get results a�er finishing touchesBy Jennifer [email protected]

When it comes to what to do with Little-ton’s and Englewood’s fire departments, opinions range from “hands off our fire station” to “merge police and public works too.”

Representatives of Emergency Services Consulting International held forums in Englewood and Littleton last week to listen to the public before putting the finishing touches on their study. They’re looking at possibilities for sharing, consolidating or even merging the two departments.

“The amount of money that’s been avail-able in the past is eroded; it’s not there,” said Jim Broman, ESCI associate. “And the cost of doing business has not followed the same path.”

First time at polls is vote of confidence As Sianna Elmanouzi sat at the kitchen

table in early October marking her pick for president on her mail-in ballot, her mind rewound to fi fth grade, when her teacher conducted a class poll on who students would vote for if they could.

And then she fast-forwarded. “Wow,” she thought. “I’m 18 years old and I’m vot-ing. This is so cool.”

Jake Price, 20, walked into a voting booth on the University of Colorado campus on Halloween to make his choice. The feeling that followed took him a bit by surprise.

“To fi nally vote was very empowering,” he said.

And regardless of who was voting for whom, “you could kind of feel this unity that we were all there expressing our American rights. That was pretty cool.”

Unquestionably cool.The fi rst time I voted, in 1980, I was

20, a junior in college and Ronald Rea-gan trounced Jimmy Carter in a historic landslide.

Back then, voting booths had curtains to ensure privacy, and I remember the excitement, the goosebumpy-feeling that my vote gave me an infl uential seat at the country’s table.

Since then, I’ve cast my ballot for presi-dent eight more times. Incredible, really, when you think about it, that we live in a country in which the four-year cycle of popular elections has continued uninter-rupted and unchallenged since just after the 1788 ratifi cation of the U.S. Constitu-tion.

The privilege is profound.And there’s nothing quite like exercising

it for the fi rst time.“You really feel the power that your vote

has — your voice,“ said Chrissy Faessen of

Rock the Vote, the national organization that spearheaded efforts to register voters between 18 and 29 years old.

Sianna, who is studying political science at CU, and Jake, a fi nance major, agree. So do Kyle Tosch, 19, an environmental and civil engineering student at Colorado State University, Chace Griffi n, 20, a business fi nance major at CSU, and Grace Shea, 19, a history and secondary education major at CU.

“It’s exciting to feel that you actually mattered,” Kyle said.

Kyle and his peers are part of the much-touted 46 million-strong youth vote that helped shaped this election’s outcome — 19 percent of all votes came from the 18- to 29-year-old sector, 1 percent more than in 2008.

They favored Obama by 60 percent to 36 percent and swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Virginia were won by voters under the age of 30, Rock the Vote numbers show.

Faessen wasn’t surprised. The organi-zation’s 25-city national bus tour found energy and enthusiasm on college cam-puses, she said, and an understanding of what was at stake — students’ potential livelihood.

A sense of urgency permeated the decision-making process.

Sianna and Grace became involved in campaigns — Sianna with Romney’s, Grace with Obama’s.

They manned phone lines, sent out mailings, canvassed neighborhoods. Along with Chace, Kyle and Jake, they watched the debates and conducted their own inde-pendent research, searching for informa-tion free from bias.

“We wanted to make sure we were all educated and not just voting the way our parents voted,” Kyle said.

The issues of paying for college educa-tion, health care, the economy and jobs weighed heavily.

“It’s scary to think if one candidate leads us down the wrong road how impactful that will be,” Jake said. “Not only for me, but I think about having children some day and what the economy is going to be then and what the overall cultural environment will be.”

Grace has watched her mother, who dealt with health care issues when she was diagnosed with breast cancer several years ago, also struggle fi nancially.

“Depending on which direction you go,” she said, “life could be really different for some of us.”

They all believe their votes, regardless of whom they supported, made a difference.

“We are the ones who are going to be dealing with the consequences,” Grace said. “We need to have our voices heard.”

“It’s a domino effect,” Chace said. “My single vote may not matter, but if I don’t vote, that may infl uence others to not vote and, in the grand scheme of things, a group not voting will defi nitely have an impact.”

On election night, Kyle and Chace sat in their living room, doing homework and switching between the Nuggets game and election returns on TV. Grace nervously

watched CNN in her sorority house. Jake dejectedly listened to a scratchy car radio broadcast returning from a church meet-ing.

And, depending on where she was, Sianna followed results on TV, her laptop and her phone.

Wearing a 2012 Romney T-shirt, she didn’t realize Obama had won until she walked into her dorm lobby, crowded with cheering students.

“I felt defeated,” she said. “With so many fi scal issues at stake, I thought Rom-ney was the better candidate.”

Grace and Kyle were elated.“I had a great sense of pride that our

voices … were heard and made a differ-ence in this election,” Grace said.

Regardless of which candidate they supported, all fi ve students say this fi rst election experience inspired confi dence in their nation and fueled a sense of patriotic pride and civic duty.

“Feeling as though you have a voice in the say of your country is a rather rare commodity in this world,” Jake said.

Research shows casting a ballot as a young voter makes one more likely to be-come a lifelong voter.

As Faessen said: “It’s not just about voting every four years for the president of the United States. It’s really about your continued participation and infl uence on shaping your country’s democracy.”

These young voices make it clear our democracy is in excellent hands.

And that is unquestionably cool.

Newell beats Kerber to stay in state Senate Democrat will continue to hold town halls By Jennifer Smith [email protected]

Democratic state Sen. Linda Newell kept her seat in the hotly contested Dis-trict 26 race.

Newell got 54 percent of the vote to 46 percent for Republican challenger Dave Kerber, according to unoffi cial results of the Nov. 6 election.

“I’m just grateful that it was decisive enough that I don’t have to wait two weeks,” said Newell, a Little-ton resident. “The people saw through the negativ-ity, and they saw the spirit and the integrity of what we were doing in our cam-paign. I’m honored to con-tinue to represent a purple district in a purple way.”

Though only one can-didate could win, they’re probably both glad the down-and-dirty race is over. While the candidates them-selves kept their ads posi-tive, their backers did no such thing.

Colorado Citizens for Accountable Government raised $800,000 it spent on ads suggesting Newell hates kids and didn’t pay her taxes. In turn, Coalition for Colorado’s Future raised more than $4.4 million to hint that Kerber hates Medi-care and mammograms.

“I do believe that in Col-orado, we have a lot of very diffi cult problems we have to face,” Kerber said on Nov. 12.

“The election is over, the

negative campaigning is done, and now it’s time to get behind those folks the people have chosen.”

Money turned out to be predictive in the battle. As of Nov. 2, Kerber had raised $105,718, plus a $15,000 loan to himself and $20,000 in kind. He’d spent $77,317 of that.

Newell raised $212,674 plus $1,376 in kind. She’d spent $184,842, more than double Kerber’s expendi-tures. The district — which includes Littleton, Engle-wood, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and parts of Aurora and Cen-tennial — is about evenly split between Democrats, Republicans and indepen-dents.

How Arapahoe County votes is often considered in-dicative of how the national election might turn out, and that was true this year, too, with President Obama re-taining his seat.

Asked in September what three priorities she’d tackle if re-elected, Newell said partisan bickering, jobs

and education, pointing to her work to help people get jobs and entrepreneurs start businesses through community workshops and networking.

“(People) want more Colorado jobs, and they want leaders who are will-ing to put the economy be-fore politics,” she said.

Newell said she’ll con-tinue her twice-monthly town halls to connect with constituents.

“It’s something I do ev-ery year — invite our com-munity members to join me in looking at the best ideas for resolving these issues,” she said.

“Some of my very best bills have come from con-stituent ideas. We have to continue growing our econ-omy. And I think together, we can come up with more solutions.”

“I have crossed the aisle many times, and I have bucked my own caucus,” Newell said at a debate in October. “What is impor-tant in the Senate is a more moderate voice.”

6 Englewood Herald November 16, 20126OPINION

OPINIONS / YOURS AND OURS

Day of healing a time to overcome loss to suicideOn Nov. 17, a day of healing will be

marked for people who have lost a family member or friend to suicide. We highlight this event — titled the International Survi-vors of Suicide Loss Day — because suicide is one of life’s common heartbreaks not so often reflected in our newspapers or even so much in everyday conversation.

Those who lose loved ones to suicide sometimes suffer privately and don’t seek grief counseling or find others to help them come to terms with a loss.

Years ago we completed a series on suicide and explained how suicide as a cause of death is rarely noted in obituar-ies due to understandable concerns from families who often just want to highlight and remember the good times.

Sometimes a suicide is so much part of a story — or a suicide involves a public official or someone else who is considered

in the public light — that we do report the cause of death.

But in so many cases it is considered a private matter and little is said. Sometimes this cause of death is even omitted from eulogies.

We urge people who have struggled with the loss of a loved one to suicide to take advantage of this day.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention will have an event at 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 17 at Jubilee Fellowship Church, 8200 Southpark Circle in Highlands Ranch. Write to [email protected] for more

details.And we urge our readers to seek other

activities that may appear locally in church newsletters or through service groups.

And for general information about the day, visit American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at afsp.org. Unfortunately this issue is not going away. The rate of suicide has been increasing every year since 2000 according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The suicide rate increased 3.9 percent during 2009 to equal about 12.4 suicides per 100,000 people. There were 38,364 suicide deaths in 2010 nationwide.

Consider:• Every 13.7 minutes someone in the

United States dies by suicide.• Nearly 1,000,000 people make a sui-

cide attempt every year.• 90 percent of people who die by

suicide have a diagnosable and treatable psychiatric disorder at the time of death.

• Recent data puts yearly medical costs for suicide at nearly $100 million (2005).

• Men are nearly four times more likely to die by suicide than women. Women at-tempt suicide three times as often as men.

• Suicide rates are highest for people between the ages of 40 and 59.

• American Indians are most likely to die by suicide, followed by whites.

We encourage readers to take advantage of this event.

We venture that knowledge and comfort gained in support group settings by people who are suffering from loss of a loved one to suicide can in some measure help to prevent suicides.

Step forward and take the opportunity to talk and heal together with people with the same heartaches.

OUR VIEW

Looking up and looking outA couple of weeks ago I happened to be

flying back to Colorado from a business meeting in Dallas. I have made this trip dozens of times over the past few years, but there was something very different about my flight home this time.

As I departed from Dallas it was about 70 degrees, sunny, and just a gorgeous Tex-as day outside, and the takeoff was the very best kind, uneventful. Climbing to 35,000 feet the city faded behind us and Colorado was somewhere ahead in the distance. It was a spectacular day for flying as the blue sky was only disrupted by the occasional passing airplanes on the horizon.

However, this was the day of the first snowstorm to hit Denver this year, and the closer we got to DIA, the more the sky began to fill with clouds. It was still bright blue skies and sunny at 35,000 feet, but I could no longer see the landscape below.

The Colorado Rocky Mountains rose above the cloud line and it was amazing to see the mountaintops claim their majesty over the low-lying clouds. White-capped and radiant they stood as the sun bounced off of each peak contrasted against an incredible blue sky and the crispness of the stark white clouds.

Soon enough we began our descent through the clouds. All of us aboard the flight went from looking up and out at an unlimited beautiful horizon that filled our heads and hearts with hope and inspira-tion to a gray, cold, dark, and snow-filled sky. Our attention was drawn to the ground, the slick roads, and the challenges we may face to get home or to our final destination. Hope and inspiration were replaced by dread and caution.

The skier in me loves the fact that it snowed and snowed early, and any kind of precipitation is always good for Colorado.

However, I was reminded that when we look up and out at our horizons we see blue skies and mountain peaks. When we hold our heads and eyes up, we see poten-tial for a bright and prosperous future. And that when we look down, chins tucked to our chests, shoulders slumped, seeing only a foot or so in front of us at any one time, there is no way that we can possibly see or envision our purpose and passion filled limitless potential.

You may not have the chance to be at 35,000 feet very often, but living here in Colorado those peaks are visible almost each and every day. Looking up inspires us and looking out fills us with hope. For some it maybe just a little spark of hope, but it is hope nonetheless. And for others, it is huge hope, big dreams, and an enor-mous vision for a better tomorrow

Are you looking up and out at a blue-sky horizon? I would love to hear all about what inspires you and keeps your head held high as you see, hope, and plan for the best that is awaiting you at [email protected]. This will be a better than good week, I can see it from 35,000 feet.

That’s just how some of us rollThere was an impromptu celebra-

tion at the Cheetos factory in Colorado in the early morning hours after Election Day when Amendment 64 had passed. Sales will skyrocket. Joke writers all across America burned the late night, uh, oil to come up with jokes for Letterman, Stewart, and Fallon. Google those guys and save me the punch line inserts here. If you do, I promise I won’t say anything about Rocky Mountain high.

I don’t smoke dope. Do you? It’s fine with me if you do. And it’s fine with me if you don’t, or that you are adamantly opposed to its legalization.

I know a lot of people who do smoke marijuana. They are, or were, all lawbreak-ers. I drank like a fish, and I could legally obtain an aquarium full of vodka within 10 minutes of my home. There are five liquor stores within five miles of me.

None of the marijuana users I know has ever gone off the deep end. I went off the deep end every afternoon. Without a snor-kel.

We tried prohibition once (1920-33). It was a failure. It led to bootlegging, and or-ganized crime took control of alcohol dis-tribution. There are still some “dry” spots in the United States, but there are always ways to get your Silver Bullet.

In films and TV commercials, alcohol is glamorized like a Siren, which it can be. Many people can drink and behave. Many people drink and can’t behave. They con-tinue to drink — or walk on the road to Recovery. It’s a mighty long road, and you never really reach Recovery. Unless you die clean. That’s my plan.

There’s still a madness about reefers, a stigma. Maybe it’s because it can’t be ad-vertised the ways that liquor can be: “Stay thirsty, my friends.” Every other film and commercial is soaking in booze. Not just alcohol-themed films like “Leaving Las Ve-gas” and “The Days of Wine and Roses,” but many, many others, like “Lost in Transla-tion,” are wading in it.

Watch a pro football game. By halftime you would be “cut off” if you followed the instructions the brewers were giving you.

“Great times are waiting. Grab some Buds.”

Every commercial has an itty-bitty dis-

claimer: “Drink responsibly.” Really?Often the commercials feature improb-

ably shaped and undressed women and rock ‘n’ roll. It doesn’t take much to add it all up. If you drink our spirits you’ll be in like Flynn, flying with the Deuce, and prepping for a primo tat. You’ll go to “Pleasure Island” where you’ll find Lampwick and Pinocchio.

If marijuana were legalized I don’t think the marketing campaigns would include babes. Maybe chips? Ding Dongs? See what I mean? It’s a much more benign involve-ment. Not always. We can misuse almost anything. A friend of mine relapsed on va-nilla extract. Another one drank Nyquil. Nyquil is 25 percent alcohol. Did you know that? That means it’s 50 proof. Your next glass of cabernet sauvignon will be 11-14 percent alcohol. Crazy, huh?

Marijuana might contribute to lethargic behavior, neglected schoolwork, and some poor decisions on the highway. Not unlike alcohol. Further, alcohol can make some of us try to surf stair railings or try to fly with imaginary wings.

You might be surprised by who is on the “I smoked weed” list. It’s a long list. And there’s a long list of voters who will vote for-ever against the legalization of marijuana. I wonder if any of them drink. Drink in mod-eration. Or drink and overflow.

Like I said, I don’t smoke dope, and I wouldn’t light up in protest for the legaliza-tion of it, or protest against it. I think my position is that I am just not against it. But honestly, I would love to see a few of their TV commercials.

South Metro Drug Task Force disbands Economy takes toll a� er 27 years By Rhonda Moore [email protected]

The economy caught up with a regional drug task force in place for nearly 30 years, leading to the dissolution of the South Metro Drug Task Force. The task force dissolved after nearly 27 years of street-level drug enforcement in a deci-sion offi cials call diffi cult but well-considered.

The Arapahoe and Douglas sheriff’s offi ces announced the decision to disband the region-al task force Nov. 8, about two months after the board voted to dissolve the unit that was the primary narcotics agency for Douglas, Arapahoe and El-bert counties.

About 14 agencies partici-pated in the task force, provid-ing resources that included of-fi cers who primarily served as undercover agents paid for by local taxpayers, federal grants and asset forfeiture seizures.

At its peak, about 10 agents, a sergeant and commander from the Douglas and Arapahoe sheriff’s offi ces provided the lion’s share of the resources to the task force, with staff contributions from the participating police departments,

said Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson. Robinson served as the chairman of the task force board.

In July, when dissolution discussions began, the task force was made up of seven agents, a sergeant and com-mander, with contributing offi cers from the Littleton, Park-er, Englewood and Greenwood Village police departments, Robinson said.

“The diffi culty we had is we’ve never been able to get the resource numbers up to a level we would have liked to,” Robinson said.

“That’s just life. There are other priorities people need to focus attention on.”

Douglas County shifted its task force agents to the pat-tern crimes unit, according to a news release from the sher-iff’s offi ce.

The unit was established in 2005 to address crimes that are committed by semi-organized, habitual or career crimi-nals who commit crimes with a repetitive pattern in Doug-las County.

As a result of the dissolution of the South Metro Drug Task Force, the pattern crimes unit is composed of 10 in-vestigators, including offi cers from the Parker, Lone Tree and Castle Rock police departments.

“We will continue to investigate illegal drugs, intervene on drug sales and enforce drug laws here and across county borders,” said Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver. “This changes nothing in the way that we share information and partner with other agencies.”

Arapahoe County poured its South Metro Drug Task Force resources into its crime unit, calling the broadened scope of drug investigations a more “holistic” approach to law enforcement, Robinson said.

“The task force did wonderful work and they made a difference, but their focus was a drug-specifi c crime,” Rob-

inson said. “With the reallocation of resources, we will be investigating a drug deal from a more holistic approach we feel will be much more effective and cause our communi-ties to be even safer.

“It was a well-considered decision and certainly it’s dif-fi cult to disband a unit that’s been in place this amount of time,” he said. “Although it created a challenge, it has pre-sented a unique opportunity for public safety in our com-munity.”

Mammoth potential for land Tourism is possibility for Lamb Spring archaeology site By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

Discoveries of mammoth proportions near Sterling Ranch have local archaeolo-gists dreaming of turning Lamb Spring into a tourist destination.

The site, fi rst discovered by accident in 1960 by Charles Lamb, is not an active dig site at present, but according to Craig Lee of the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve Board of Directors, there is much still to be unearthed at the Douglas County locale.

An excavation led by the Smithsonian in 1961 and ’62 turned up bones of at least fi ve mammoths. A later excavation by the insti-tution in 1980 and ‘81 turned up remains of 30 more mammoths and evidence that sug-gested there may have been people around at that time to hunt the mammoths.

According to Lee, scientifi c discovery dictates that people have been in this part

Special Olympics bowlers hold tourney About 400 athletes attend state event

By Tom Munds [email protected]

It was standing room only Nov. 10 at AMF Bel-leview Lanes as the facility hosted the Special Olym-pics State Bowling Tourna-ment.

More than 400 ath-letes, representing about 30 teams from around the state, took part on Federal Boulevard near Belleview Avenue.

Although the facility has 48 lanes, the competition had to be divided into a morning session and an af-ternoon session to accom-modate all the bowlers and the competitions.

The traditional bowling sounds fi lled the air like the sound of the ball rolling down the alley and crash-ing into the pins.

One difference was the almost constant cheering and applause that followed every bowler’s effort.

While there is cheering for a traditional bowler who has a good frame, at Spe-cial Olympics the bowler was cheered by teammates, opponents and specta-tors whether the ball went down the gutter or scored a strike.

“We love this event be-cause of the way everyone cheers and applauds every bowler’s effort,” said Chris Timlin, general manager of AMF Belleview Lanes.

“It is our biggest day of the year, and we love it because it feels good to give back and do our part to support these special athletes.”

He said employees re-quest to be on shift for the event and the extra re-ward is the bright eyes and smiles on the faces of all the bowlers.

Steve Karhjala, director of Mile High Special Olym-pics, said the bowling tour-nament is a big deal for the athletes.

“Bowling is our largest sports program,” he said. “Every athlete wants earn a spot at state but less than half the bowlers qualify, so it is a great honor to be here.”

He said AMF Belleview Lanes does a lot of the preparation, and on tour-nament day, about 50 vol-unteers step up to help with the event. Littleton resi-dent Judd Dunkin donned the special shirt identifying him as a volunteer.

He said he doesn’t have anyone in the program, but has made friends and volunteers his time to help with events as often as he can.

“It just makes me feel good to be here and help out these folks,” he said.

There were teams from around the state, including Colorado Springs, Long-mont, Parker, and several teams from Highlands Ranch and Centennial.

The team serving ath-letes in the Englewood-Littleton area is the South-siders. This year, the Southsiders had 12 athletes

at the state bowling tourna-ment, and Sheena Johnson was one of the athletes at the event for the fi rst time.

“We were part of a soft-ball program in the Foot-hills program when some-one told us about Special Olympics,” said Bonnie Johnson, Sheena’s mother. “We got in touch with the Southsiders team, joined, and it has been a wonder-ful experience for Sheena and for me.”

Bonnie said her daugh-ter takes part in four sports, and the participation has been tremendous for the girl.

“Sheena has made a lot of new friends through Spe-cial Olympics,” her mother said. “Taking part in the sports and being part of the team also has really boost-ed her self-confi dence.”

Sheena said she likes all the sports equally, and she likes bowling because she likes to knock down the pins.

Katie Guthrie is Sheena’s Southsiders teammate. Her mother, Theresa, said Katie, an Englewood High School graduate, has been involved in Special Olym-pics since she was in the sixth grade.

“Special Olympics are wonderful and Katie loves it. She enjoys meeting people and being part of the basketball, track and bowling teams,” Theresa said. “She loves competi-tion and she said she will do her best bowling today, but her score doesn’t mat-ter because she is thrilled to come to state.”

Mammoth potential for landTourism is possibility for Lamb Spring archaeology siteBy Ryan [email protected]

Discoveries of mammoth proportions near Sterling Ranch have local archaeolo-gists dreaming of turning Lamb Spring into a tourist destination.

The site, first discovered by accident in 1960 by Charles Lamb, is not an active dig site at present, but according to Craig Lee of the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve Board of Directors, there is much still to be unearthed at the Douglas County locale.

An excavation led by the Smithsonian in 1961 and ’62 turned up bones of at least five mammoths. A later excavation by the insti-tution in 1980 and ‘81 turned up remains of 30 more mammoths and evidence that sug-gested there may have been people around at that time to hunt the mammoths.

According to Lee, scientific discovery dictates that people have been in this part

of the world for 11,000 years, but what has been discovered at Lamb Spring could take human existence back another 2,000 years.

“What we have is tantalizing evidence that people were butchering the mam-moths at the spring,” Lee said. “Some of the evidence includes things such as the pres-ence of a very large anvil stone or a ham-mer stone and evidence to suggest that the mammoth bones were smashed by humans. We need to continue that explora-tion.”

Lee said the mammoth remains date to 13,000 years old, and although nothing is certain, if there were humans there at that time, it would be something that would in-deed change the suggested history of North America. Lee and other members of the Lamb Spring Archaeological Preserve envi-sion the 35-acre site becoming active again within the next decade and have plans for an on-site museum that would house much of what they already know is underground.

“Lamb Spring still holds mammoth re-mains that were uncovered by the Smith-sonian excavation and then recovered,” Lee said. “There are also major portions of the site that remain unexcavated by anybody but have huge potential to speak to the ear-liest humans in North America as well as

questions relating to Ice Age farms.”Nathan Boyless, president of the pre-

serve’s board of directors, said that it is good practice to leave some of the bones in situ, or buried on site.

“First, the bones have been well pre-served for thousands of years, so it makes sense that until another option can be iden-tified, the best place to preserve the bones is underground where they currently re-side,” he said.

“In addition, considering that approxi-mately 30 individual mammoths were identified in previous excavations, curat-ing or storing those bones would require a warehouse-size facility that would need to be maintained in perpetuity. It’s not a small or short-term effort to tackle.”

Boyless and Lee envision an on-site in-terpretive center being built in the next de-cade, where excavated materials could be housed and where visitors could watch ar-chaeologists at work on future discoveries.

Right now it is simply a question of fund-ing.

“We don’t have the whole story at Lamb Spring,” Lee said.

“We have enough already to make a world-class exhibit in and of itself, but there’s potential for so much more.”

Lamb Spring, in northern Douglas County, is on the Colorado State and National Registers of Historic Places, and large areas remain unexcavated.

Ex-gridder didn’t fritter

There are plenty of stories about for-mer Broncos who lived the high life only to crash and burn post their NFL career.

But former wide receiver Rod Smith has avoided slipping into the “fortune, fame then falling flat on his face” cycle. His story is told as part of an Oct. 31 Forbes story headlined, “Not broke: How NFL players stay financially stable after the game ends.” To read the whole story, go to forbes.com and enter “NFL” in the search field.

Smith recounts being 10 years old and watching an episode of “Where Are They Now?” on HBO.

“There was a guy on the show who played in the NFL and then became homeless. ... When I saw that, I thought, `When I get into the NFL, there is no way I’m going broke,’” Smith told Forbes.

Forbes also cited a 2009 Sports Illus-trated report that said within two years of retiring, 78 percent of NFL players face financial stress.

Smith hung onto his frugality through-out his 14-year NFL career in part because he joined the pros as an un-drafted player in 1994. At his alma mater, Missouri Southern State University, he completed three degrees in business, economics and finance, and marketing and management, the story said.

“I didn’t get drafted, so that helped me build financial stability,” Smith told Forbes. “I had a chance to be in the NFL, but not a chance to be in the NFL lifestyle, because I didn’t have the income for it.”

On the Broncos practice squad mak-ing $60,000 a year, Smith didn’t attempt to keep up with the financial luxuries of other players in the locker room.

Now in retirement, Smith has kept up a practice he started in the Broncos lock-er room under the leadership of former head coach Mike Shanahan of mentoring younger players about financial respon-sibility.

“I appreciate Shanahan because he let me teach a financial class to the rook-ies,” Smith said in the story. “Nobody was teaching me these principles. I learned them from watching people.”

Il Mondo Vecchio bids arrivederciIl Mondo Vecchio, the much-lauded

Denver salumi producer, will shut its doors on Nov. 30 due to increased regula-tory requirements and pressures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The production facility at 1174 S. Cherokee St. famously produced salami, pepperoni, bresaola and other cured meats along with fresh sausages for local restaurants and markets, as well as for eateries in out-of-state cities including San Francisco, Seattle and Houston.

Mark DeNittis and business partner Gennaro DeSantis have owned and oper-ated Il Mondo Vecchio under the local USDA watchdog for three years. When a representative from the national USDA went on an inspection, the salumeria was put under more fierce scrutiny.

“Il Mondo Vecchio has had three solid years of uninterrupted business growth and has never had one instance of food safety violation, issue or complaint,” DeNittis said in a written statement. “In August, the USDA imposed additional requirements on Il Mondo Vecchio’s

the production methods, Il Mondo Vecchio has determined that the impact of the regulatory require-ments on dry cured sausage products was detrimental to the quality of the prod-uct and therefore, (we) are forced to close the doors.”

DeNittis said that his company and the USDA came to an impasse. “(We) could either change (our) methods to a process that has been validated by the USDA such as fermenting (cooking the product) or adding nitrites, nitrates, acids or copious amounts of salt, all resulting in what IMV believes to be an inferior product or stop production.”

Photographer is picture of pain ‘Time Stands Still’ on stage at Curious By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

A spacious New York apartment is too confi ning for international pho-tojournalist Sarah, who returned from Iraq carrying visible and invisible wounds.

Her partner of eight years, James, wants to build a marriage and per-haps a family, as does their publisher/friend Richard.

But Sarah is edgy and ready to re-turn to work as soon as she recovers from her painful wounds—always tense and thinking ahead.

Experienced actress Tara Falk, new to Denver stages, gives a fi ne, subtle performance as Sarah, showing the anguish she feels in Donald Margulies’ wonderfully crafted dialogue in “Time Stands Still,” open at Curious Theatre.

She combines strength and great fragility in her portrayal of this wom-an who is not comfortable in her skin anymore. In answer to concern about her viewing and photographing atroc-ities, she asks — who will know what happened in the future unless she does so?

Michael Morgan, as her partner, also a journalist, is the more vulnera-ble, nurturing one in the relationship,

who carries the audience along in his painful adjustment to Sarah’s needs.

David Russell, as Richard, and Dev-on James, as his young blond Mandy, offer a contrast in a newly married and pregnant couple.

The publisher envisions a book with Sarah’s photos and James’ writing

that he would put together and “take around.” Too simple.

Caitlyn Ayer’s set is polished and believable, supported by lighting and sound design with Curious’ usual fi ne production values.

Director Christy Montour-Larson has shaped this small-scale, intense drama by award-winning playwright Donald Margulies into another social-ly relevant, thought-provoking, fi nely tuned evening of theater at Curious.

This play certainly won’t send one out humming a tune, but with thoughts of another lifestyle. Could one handle it?

Where were you born?Denver Colorado 1940

How long have you lived in the area?Seventy two years

What do you like most about it?� e Climate: � e Opportunities that I have been given:

� e people and friends that I have met over the years: � e Challenges of the Commercial Real Estate Business: To see reasons for both success and failure. � e life style that I have been able to give to myself and my family.

How long have you worked in Real Estate?Forty two years

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

I have never done anything other than Commercial Real Estate, as a broker, that has included developing re-tail projects, and owning several retail businesses myself.

What is the most challenging part of what you do?� e most Challenging part of my job has been to � nd

people that are honest and truthful, as well as realistic, and that will listen.

What do you most enjoy doing when you’re not work-ing?

Family is my biggest joy: Work comes second, and then social a� er all of that.

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

Call me and I will direct you to a professional Honest Residential Real Estate Broker.

Alice’s tea party comes to EHS stageBy Sonya [email protected]

“Alice in Wonderland,” adapted by Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Frievus, is the Englewood High School Theatre Department’s production for Novem-ber.

Alice’s tea party comes to EHS stage By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

“Alice in Wonderland,” adapted by Eva Le Gallienne and Florida Frievus, is the Englewood High School Theatre Department’s production for Novem-ber.

Alice, the March Hare, the Door-mouse, Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar,

Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts and many more characters from Lewis Carroll’s imagination will fi ll the stage at EHS at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 and 2 p.m. Nov. 17.

Drama teacher Dan Carlson is di-rector. He has helped with the Engle-wood summer musicals’ technical production for a number of years and substituted at the school and is hired

to teach one class, develop the plays and begin to rebuild the drama de-partment, with an eye to the future when the new school is ready.

“Look for the usual characters and some not-so-usual,” he says.

Tickets cost $6 and $4, 303-806-7075 or at the door.

Englewood High School is at 3900 S. Logan St.

Craft fair, chili cook-off coming Nov. 17 Both events are scheduled for same date on campus of Englewood High School

By Tom Munds [email protected]

Englewood High School will be a very busy place Nov. 17, as it will be the site of the school’s annual Craft Fair and Englewood Un-leashed’s annual chili cook-off.

The doors are scheduled to open at 9 a.m. and the events will run until 3 p.m. at the school at 3800 S. Lo-gan St. Those attending are advised to use the entrance on East Mansfi eld Avenue.

The craft fair is a shop-ping opportunity, as orga-nizers are expecting about 80 vendors offering a wide variety of items. The fair offers a chance to perhaps fi nd a gift for that hard-to-buy-for person. Last year, for example, the tables and booths offered items

including holiday decora-tions, jewelry of different designs and patterns and wood carvings.

But the fair is more than that, because the event will raise money to help EHS students who need assis-tance to buy school sup-plies or pay program fees.

There is no charge for admission to the event that will be set up in the high school commons area and

cafeteria.Lila Downing and Con-

nie Wagner, who create crafts themselves, orga-nized the fair three years ago because they saw that recent budget cuts leave no money to help needy stu-dents. So, they put out a call for vendors and organized the craft fair.

Nov. 17 is also the date for the Englewood Unleashed annual chili cook-off in the search for the area’s Best Doggone Chili.

There is no charge to en-ter the cook-off, and cate-

CHRISTMAS AT CANYON’SDecember 9th 6:30pm

Christmas Eve Service 6:30pm

Goodness! Gracious! has focus on good and grace New theater company based in Douglas County By Sonya Ellingboe [email protected]

Marilyn Spittler has grown from a little kid who loved the spotlight through all phases of community theater — actor, di-rector, producer and more, to become a professional producer (and grandmother) who has launched her own stage and fi lm company based in Douglas County. It’s the realization of a lifelong dream.

Goodness! Gracious! Productions started as a youth theater in 2002 and will launch its fi rst professional production, “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Radio Play” on Nov. 23 at the Sherman Events Center in Denver, 1770 Sherman St.

The popular holiday story about ideal-istic George Bailey’s Christmas Eve experi-ence offers an ideal family outing, Spittler says, and she is marketing it in Denver and metro-wide, hoping to reach area families and some visiting in Denver for a holiday. “It’s important to have affordable, well-done family entertainment. It fi lls a unique niche.”

Performances begin with a special “red carpet” pre-show a half-hour in advance of curtain time. Cast members portraying reporters, photographers, radio stars and other characters will accompany attendees in a 1940s gala spirit. Patrons can pre-ar-range for a special message to go to a guest, for a minimal fee.

Even the elevator operator will be an ac-tor, she says — the studio is on the fourth fl oor.

The company pays its actors and crew,

except for college interns, she said, and is “trying to invest in community talent.”

The set will be simple — a radio station — and she’s confi dent in her tech director.

Barbara Porecca, who has been involved with the Parker Arts Council is director.

Looking to the future, Spittler describes a three-point business plan.

Productions slated for 2013 include “Harvey,” to be directed by Scott Belott, playing the fi rst two weeks in March; “Char-lotte’s Web,” “Dracula” and “Miracle on 34th Street.”

The professional and semi-professional entertainment to be offered will be “cultur-ally relevant, empathetic, inclusive of all people and always void of profanity, nudity and graphic violence,” the company’s state-ment says.

Next, she will launch a touring company throughout the Rocky Mountain region. (Possibly “Harvey” would be a place to start.) They will bring a show to you.

In 2016, she envisions a “Small Town America Project.” Goodness! Gracious! Pro-ductions will send a crew to a small town to help locals incorporate talent in a produc-tion. She envisions this as possible across the country eventually, but thinks of begin-ning in Wyoming, where she grew up.

Then, Direct to DVD productions are in the pipeline — from the faith-based arm of the business. This grows out of an edu-cational focus on literacy — all part of the mission and the dream.

The 91st Annual South Metro Denver Chamber Business Expo was a fantastic event with business leaders from throughout the area attending the Open Board Meeting, Seminars throughout the day, the Business Expo Exhibit Hall, the 91st Annual Leadership Awards luncheon and the After EXPO Party. The event was held on Tuesday, October 30th at the Marriott DTC.

The Annual Open Board Meeting gave Chamber Investors the chance to meet the new directors who were installed in September and vice-versa. Board Chair Lisa D’Ambrosia spoke regarding the board’s emphasis on building “Remarkable Relationships.” Other topics of interest to the board included economic and infrastructure development, the “Fix the Debt” initiative, and education – with a reinvigorated STEM program bringing education and businesses together.

Updates from Investors included the Chamber’s new brand from Linda Hill of hill aevium who designed the new logo. Gina Kaelin-Westcott of Connect Selling updated the board on the Women in Leadership Group and John Vachalek of Webolutions spoke regarding the Social Marketing for Business Group. Karl Brummert with the Audubon Society of Greater Denver brought into focus the efforts of the Chamber’s Non-Profit & Business Partnership and Kristi Nelson, RE/MAX updated on the young professionals group, HYPE. Dick Franklin with the Clean Tech Open updated the board on this initiative’s growth over the last five years and the promising technologies it has presented, Jeff Keener of Halo Branded Solutions spoke on the Chamber’s Energy & Sustainable Infrastructure Council goals for the coming year.

KC Keefer of Keefer Photography spoke to the board during the open mic session: “I’m thankful for the Chamber in helping grow my business from sitting and watching the phone to being steadily productive. The Chamber is what you make of it – If you’re involved, there’s something here for you.”

A host of seminars and panels were presented throughout the day. Over 200 people learned from experts on topics such as partnering with other businesses, identifying deception and fraud, SEO & social media, employee satisfaction, branding, transparency marketing, business theft, key business relationships, and more.

Open throughout the day, the Expo Exhibit Hall featured

80 Chamber investors showing their products, services and creativity in booth design. A profusion of information mixed with outrageous costuming and lots of give-aways and samples provided Expo-goers an excellent opportunity to find vendor partners and products for business as well as personal use.

Experience Pros Radio did a live broadcast from their booth, interviewing Chamber Investors. Angel Tuccy always enjoys the event. “I wouldn’t miss this event – everyone is so energized and excited to be a part of this great Chamber. This expo is the only live broadcast we ever do.”

Suzanne Crawford, owner of Just ShutterUp – Get in and Grin, a portable photo booth which is a standard at many Chamber events had a great time. “We are proud to partner with the Chamber and capture all of the energy at the expo. We always have a great time here and get our booth noticed. This year we are featuring the Chamber’s Expo theme ‘Cirque du Chamber’ on our photos.”

The 91st Annual Leadership Awards Luncheon was an extraordinary event with 350 South Metro Denver Business Leaders witnessing the honor of Chamber Investors being recognized for their volunteer efforts over the last year. Prior to the awards being announced, a special acknowledgment of the passing of Ron Skinner was recognized with LEADapalooza group members coming on stage to raise a toast to an incredibly giving and warm person.

The Leadership in Motion Awards acknowledge Investors who “…contribute significantly to the transformation, empowerment and prospering of the Chamber by contributing their time and talents in a positive, dependable way.” The award winners were: Alison Oyler-Mitch of Fresh Events, Maria Pearson with Inter-Faith Community Services, Pierre Powell with Chinook Tavern, Brian Olson with Conversation Starters, and Suzanne Crawford owner of Just ShutterUp.

Program Volunteers of the Year Awardees were Women in Leadership Volunteer of the Year: Becky Takeda-Tinker of CSU Global, Small Business Development Center Volunteer of the Year: Stefanie Dalgar of Dalgar Communications; and the Economic Development Group Volunteer of the Year went to a company, Citywide Banks for “…going beyond the call of duty in volunteering to a variety of Economic Development Causes.” The Outstanding Volunteer of the

Year went to Wendy Woods of Nexus Financial Services. Wendy is a staple of hard work and effort in many aspects of Chamber life including serving on the Board of Directors, work with the Chamber Connectors and LEADapalooza Leads Group, Women in Leadership, and the Chamber Branding Committee.

The luncheon concluded with not one, but four keynote addresses by Lisa D’Ambrosia, Chamber Board Chair and Director at Minor & Brown; Arapahoe County Commissioner Susan Beckman; Centennial Airport Executive Director Robert Olislagers; and Rick Jory, President and CEO of Sandhill Scientific. The speakers shared their wealth of knowledge and experience as it related to creating “Remarkable Relationships.”

A relaxed and fun end to the day came with the monthly Business after Hours. Over 200 gathered in the hotel’s atrium for great beverages and appetizers provided by the Marriott DTC and rockin’ vibes coming from Swallow Hill Music’s Rob Drabkin Band. Swallow Hill Music Association was also the winner of Max Radio’s advertising package give away during the festivities.

The Chamber’s Annual Business Expo brings business owners, executives, investors, staff and clients together to build “Remarkable Relationships”. For more information on this and other Chamber events, visit their web site at www.bestchamber.com or call 303-795-0142.

Chamber Expo Builds Remarkable Relationships between South Metro Business Leaders

Eric Reamer and Angel Tuccy broadcast their radio show live from the EXPO floor.

Wendy Woods of Nexus Financial Services was named the 2012 Outstanding Volunteer of the Year.

Broman and his boss, Martin Goughnour, were careful not to re-veal any specifi c suggestions before presenting the fi nal report to the two city councils, causing frustration for some attendees. But the two used a lot of words like “regionalization,” “cost avoidance,” “effi ciencies” and “no lon-ger sustainable” throughout both eve-nings.

Asked whether jobs would be lost or stations closed, Goughnour said, “At this time, there is nothing in our work that suggests either of those.”

Options on the table are doing nothing, forming a fi re authority, link-ing with an existing authority, forming a new district, both departments an-nexing into Littleton Fire Protection District, forming an intergovernmen-

tal agreement between Littleton and Englewood, and Englewood contract-ing for services from Littleton. Gough-nour said they’re all possible but not necessarily feasible.

It’s possible some of those would require initial cost outlays or raising taxes for the long term.

“I have a feeling this is a way to cre-ate another revenue stream for the city,” said Littleton’s Carol Brzeczek, Sunshine Boys activist. “It’s a shell game.”

Pete Webb, Littleton resident and noted public-relations entrepreneur, enthusiastically supports consolida-tion. He worked on the new author-ity formed by Parker and South Metro Fire Rescue, and he sits on the new en-tity’s board.

“The days of municipal fi efdoms should end,” he said.

Englewood resident and former

Dillon Valley Fire Protection District chief Jim Jordan said he sees both pos-itives and negatives to change.

“I think it will be OK as long as you get more people out in the trucks and not in the offi ces,” he said.

“Our goal is to keep as many people on the street as possible,” said Bro-man. “There’s a very strong emphasis on that.”

This is the third study examining area fi re services in recent years. Lit-tleton paid for one and released the results, which offered a large number of suggestions. LFPD paid for its own study after that but has refused to re-lease the results. Goughnour he’d seen both and took them into consider-ation for this study.

“Everything that we fi nd we will turn over to the councils,” he said, when asked if there would be any se-crecy surrounding this study.

new campus for Colorado’s Finest Al-ternative High School.

He added that there has been sta-bility in the school administration, plus the school board is providing positive leadership that has inspired

community confi dence.“Another plus is we have seen

growth in student achievement,” the superintendent said. “We are not where we need to be but we are mak-ing progress.”

Kent Denver falls in 3A championship game By Daniel P. Johnson [email protected]

COMMERCE CITY - The margin of error is extremely small when a state champion-ship is on the line.

For Kent Denver, the No. 5 seed in the Class 3A boys soccer tournament, they dis-covered that just one lapse can be the dif-ference in the game.

A failed clearance led to a prime scoring chance for No. 1 Colorado Academy, and the Mustangs (19-0-1) took advantage as junior Connor Wiseman ripped a shot from the top of the goal box into the upper-left corner of the goal in the 26th-minute.

That proved to be all the offense the Mustangs would need on a cold - and snowy - Nov. 10 afternoon at Dick’s Sport-ing Goods Park.

Although Kent Denver did control the pace of play in the second half, they failed to record a shot on goal and lost the 3A championship game, 1-0.

“CA did a good job of pressuring us and we never really found a rhythm,” Kent Den-ver coach Arty Smith said. “The fi rst half we kind of packed it in and really tried to de-fend, and then they got the goal and we had to push out a little bit.

“We had some opportunities but I give JC (Pritchard) and his team a lot of credit to go undefeated through the Metro League and through the playoffs. He’s got a great team, he really does.”

Smith, whose team fi nished the year with a 15-4-1 mark, thought his team played well defensively, aside from the one mistake.

“I think it was just a miscommunication back there. It happens,” Smith said. “Unfor-tunately, it happened in the state champi-onship game. But, I’m proud of my guys.”

Kent Denver’s best look at the equalizer came in the 37th-minute. Junior Cole Evans (who was all over the pitch and played solid two-way soccer) launched a direct free kick from midfi eld towards the Colorado Acad-

emy goal. Matt Olson managed to leap above a

swarm of defenders and with a fl ick of his head, sent the ball towards the cage, but the ball sailed just over the crossbar.

The second half saw the Sun Devils try and link up several set pieces, but none ever really threatened the goal.

With a team that features just fi ve se-niors, Kent Denver fi gures to be back in the title picture in 2013.

“It’s been a great season and I’m so proud of my guys,” Smith said. “It’s a very young team; we started one senior. They ex-ceeded everyone’s expectations. They just jelled and they fought as hard as they could (Nov. 10) and I’m very proud of them.”

“We had plenty of chances, we just couldn’t finish,” Cherry Creek coach Chelo Curi said. “I thought we played well but all it takes is one chance in a game like this and Smoky was the team that had the break fall its way.”

Grizzlies narrowly avoid upsetBy Daniel P. [email protected]

GREENWOOD VILLAGE - Pre-sented with a second chance at ending what turned out to be a wild night, ThunderRidge wasn’t going to be denied.

In a Class 5A second round football game that had a little bit of everything - from a 21-point comeback by No. 17 Cherry Creek, to a last-minute drive to force overtime by the top-seeded Griz-zlies, to a just-missed 39-yard field goal in regulation by the Bruins - it was fitting that the game’s ulti-mate play was anything but easy.

After Jake Hand converted on a 1-yard touchdown run on fourth down in the second overtime, ThunderRidge chose to go for two points and the win, rather than kick an extra point which would’ve set up a third overtime period.

On the two-point conversion

play, ThunderRidge quarterback Brody Westmoreland (who scored four touchdowns) rolled to his right and threw a pass in the end zone towards Jesse Krieger.

The ball came out a little low but Krieger alertly dove to his right, got his hands under the ball, cradled it to his chest and fell to the ground.

The back judge raised both of his arms, signaling a successful catch and the Grizzlies escaped the Stutler Bowl with an epic 57-56 double-overtime victory over a devastated Cherry Creek squad.

“Brody has made some big throws for us, and made some gutsy plays,” a relieved Thunder-Ridge coach Joe Johnson said of his quarterback, who threw for 124 yards and ran for 142 yards. “That was definitely a big play. We wanted to go for (two) on the last drive in regulation, but the penal-ty (a false start) changed the plan.”

The Grizzlies (10-1) advanced to the 5A quarterfinals with the

victory, and will host No. 9 Grand-view (8-3) at 7 p.m. Nov. 16 at Shea Stadium.

“I couldn’t be more proud of the kids … the way they came back,” said Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan, whose team finished the year with a 6-5 record. “This is a tough one.”

Logan’s team nearly won the game on the last play of regula-tion. A quality kick return by Da-vid Knight set the Bruins up with good field position, and, after four completions by quarterback Luke Papilion, they had moved the ball down to the ThunderRidge 23-yard line.

James Simpson came on to at-tempt a 39-yard field goal. Unfor-tunately for Simpson and the Bru-ins, he was kicking directly into a stiff wind that had picked up ve-locity throughout the second half. Simpson’s kick was on-line, but fell just short.

“The wind was dead into him,” Logan said.

The missed kick left the score knotted at 42-42 as the teams en-tered overtime.

On the first play of overtime, Westmoreland ran in from 10 yards out to put the Grizzlies up 49-42. Cherry Creek answered back with a Tahj Willingham run, and the game moved to a second overtime.

The Bruins had the ball first and, as they had the entire sec-ond half, moved the ball with ease and scored on the second run of the series by Daryl McNeil, which made the score 56-49 and set the stage for ThunderRidge’s dramatic final drive.

“We learned a lot about our-selves,” Westmoreland said. “We have to stick together and it takes a total team effort to win these kind of games.”

Based on the first half, it didn’t appear the Nov. 9 contest would be close.

ThunderRidge raced out to a 28-7 lead by halftime, and, after a Westmoreland 13-yard touch-down run, led 35-14 early in the third quarter.

Cherry Creek then proceeded to score 28 unanswered points and took a 42-35 lead when Papil-ion raced 73 yards down the left sideline with 3:35 to play.

It was the third-straight touch-down scored by the senior quar-terback, who finished with 133 passing yards, 101 rushing yards and four touchdowns.

McNeil gained 118 yards and scored two touchdowns, while Willingham added 90 yards and two scores for the Bruins.

Steve Ray ran for 117 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown for ThunderRidge. The two teams combined for 959 yards of total of-fense.

“What a great effort on both sides,” Johnson said.

Cherry Creek (11-6-2) saw its best chance at goal come just moments before Gill’s dramatic game-winner.

Midfielder Miguel Jaime played a ball onto the swift foot of forward Malik Mennana, who

managed to slip past a pair of Smoky Hill defenders, leaving him one-on-one with goalie, Grayson Heath.

Mennana fired off a quick shot that Heath dove for and knocked out of harm’s way.

The Buffaloes, who had been out-possessed and out-chanced by the Bruins most of the after-noon, quickly went on the coun-ter-attack and set off a wild post-game celebration when Gillis fired a shot that spun off of Kass-meier’s hands and into the net.

“We were looking for the counter (attack) and I thought we defended it well,” Curi said.

“Again, we should’ve finished when we had our opportunities.”

Cherry Creek had several quality looks in the second half, including another shot from Mennana off a feed from Andree Rojas in the 67th-minute that sailed just wide of the goal.

While the overtime defeat was certainly stinging, Curi is look-ing forward to the future with his club.

“I thought we got better as the year went on,” Curi said.

“We lost 3-1 to Smoky in the regular season and I thought we improved dramatically from that game. We’re a young team; we only had two seniors on the field, so it’s a young team that has a lot of potential.” Cherry Creek’s Karim Zia streaks upfield Nov. 7.

Bruins, Eagles make their mark at state Heritage upsets Eaglecrest; Cherry Creek makes semifi nals By Jill Fitzpatrick [email protected]

DENVER - Under the bright lights of the Denver Coliseum, the state volleyball tour-nament brings out the best in competition as 12 teams from each classifi cation fi ght to claim the awe-inspiring golden volleyball trophy.

For Cherry Creek (22-6), playing at the state level is nothing new. As the dominant Bruins have become a staple in the tourna-ment, the team looked to earn its sixth state title.

For Heritage (19-8), it has been a while since the Eagles were thought to be an elite team, but this year’s squad was determined to prove doubters wrong and fi ght for its fi rst championship.

With a new state format, each team must win their three-team pool in order to ad-vance to the semifi nal matches. As a result, every match was played with high intensity, leaving no room for error.

Heritage had the daunting task of start-ing off its tournament against second-seed-ed Eaglecrest (21-5). Predicted to be a front-runner to go against powerhouse Doherty in the fi nals, the Raptors entered as the clear favorites.

Someone forgot to tell Heritage that, as the Eagles shockingly took on the Raptors full force and ran away with a 19-25, 25-20, 25-22, 21-25, 15-9 victory.

“We want to prove to everyone that we can do it,” said Eagles senior Katie Pyles. “I think that everyone on this team has so much heart. We just don’t want to give up, because everyone else isn’t giving up.”

Heritage had just one match to rest be-fore they faced 2011 state runner-up Grand-view (22-7). Adding to the stress, the Eagles would have to play without starting middle blocker Emilie Young as she re-injured her knee at the end of the Eaglecrest match.

After a quick fi rst set where the Eagles earned only 10 points, it looked as if the un-derdog team was fi nished.

Somehow, with a spark of energy, Heri-tage found a way to stop the attack of the Wolves to take command of the next two sets.

“It’s just kind of a blue-collar mentality. Just work, work, work,” Eagles coach Doug Schafer said. “I think our defense has been amazing. They just dig balls and outwork people sometimes.”

With match point in the fourth set, it seemed as though the Eagles could do the near impossible, take down two Centennial League teams in the state tournament. Af-ter two Eagle’s hitting errors and a net vio-lation, the Wolves stole back the game. The experienced Grandview squad then came up big in the fi nal set to secure the 25-10, 20-25, 23-25, 28-26, 15-10 win.

“We put ourselves in a great position to be in this pool and go against teams we could beat,” Pyles said. “I think that game we were just tired and we couldn’t pull through.”

With the loss, the Eagles could only watch its improbable run come to an end on day two as Grandview defeated Eaglec-rest to win the pool.

“It’s not about winning or losing, but about playing well,” Schafer said. “We were right there.”

Fourth-seeded Cherry Creek began its tournament against a strong Lakewood (19-8) squad. The Bruins’ fl awless play lead to a 25-22, 25-13, 25-19 victory and crushed the Tigers hopes of returning to the semis.

“If we can just play together and keep that heart, then all you have to do is keep working,” Bruins coach Sally Moos said. “You get down here and anybody can win.”

On day two, Cherry Creek took on Moun-tain Vista (20-7).

Though the Golden Eagles came out with energy, they could not stop the fero-cious Cherry Creek offense. With outside hitter Lauren Marr leading the way, the Bru-ins grabbed the 25-15, 26-28, 25-22, 25-13 win.

After winning the pool, Cherry Creek would next play 6-foot-4-inch dynamo Ha-leigh Washington and nationally ranked Doherty (29-0) in the semifi nals.

In a game of momentum, Doherty and Cherry Creek traded off mighty offensive plays and wicked defensive stands.

Though the Bruins had the victory in sight after taking the 2-1 lead, the Spartans struck back in the fi nal sets to seize the 25-23, 23-25, 20-25, 25-16, 15-10 semi-fi nal match win.

“We gave it our all in that last game,” Marr said. “Win or lose, inside we won be-cause we left everything on the court.”

Marr, who fi nished the tournament with 42 kills, and fellow senior Hannah Merkle played the last matches of their high school careers at the Coliseum.

“They’ve been the heart of our team all year,” Moos said. “I’m really proud of what they did. They walk out of here being proud of who they are and what they’ve done.”

Doherty went on to obliterate Grand-view 25-17, 25-14, 25-15 in the fi nals to win its third state title.

on offense with quarterback Taven Sparks (98-of-167 for 1,387 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions) throwing the ball to tight end Ethan Brunhofer (36-571-7) and wide receiver Michael Babb (29-504-3), and running back Jose Cancanon (204 carries, 1,281 yards and 15 touch-downs) doing the work on the ground. The same holds true for the Valor Christian offense, which has scored 40-plus points in every game of its current nine-game winning streak. Quarterback Luke Del Rio continues to dominate opposing defenses; he’s thrown just three interceptions on the year, compared with 21 touchdowns. Running backs Daryl Hawkins and Christian McCaffrey will likely split car-ries as they did a week ago against Regis Jesuit.

Bottom line: The offensive stars get all the attention, but pay close attention to the defense. That’s where this game will be one. Which defense can stop the opposing of-fense and maybe force a couple of turnovers? The team that imposes its will defensively will win the game and move on to the semifi nals.

No. 1 ThunderRidge (10-1) vs. No. 9 Grandview (8-3), 7 p.m., Nov. 16 at Shea Stadium

Game plan: The Grizzlies defense, which has allowed 90 points in two playoff victories, will have to play much better to contain elusive quarterback Reece Weber and the Grandview offense. Weber has rushed for 673 yards and av-

eraged 5.85 yards per carry. He’s passed for 1,645 yards and can count on Cassius Davis and Isaiah Jackson for ground support. Tanner Gentry has caught 47 passes for 980 yards, an average of 20.85 yards per reception.

Bottom line: ThunderRidge’s offense, led by Brody Westmoreland, Steve Ray, Jake Hand, Mark Hopper and Jes-se Krieger, can put points on the score board as evidenced by 308 points in the past six games. But this game will prob-ably come down to which defense can rise to the occasion. Grandview will have a revenge motive since ThunderRidge beat the Wolves 34-20 earlier this season on Sept. 13.

p.m. Nov. 17 at Justin DeSorrento Memorial FieldGame plan: The Sun Devils smoked the 2011 state

champions (Florence beat Kent Denver in the 2A semifi nals last year) 41-6 back in Week 2.

The playoffs have been a grind for Kent Denver, which defeated Strasburg 49-35 in the opening round and Brush 35-27 in the quarterfi nals. The Huskies haven’t lost since the Week 2 defeat, and have allowed just seven points in their fi rst two playoff games.

Like most teams in 2A, Florence can run the ball with a multitude of backs. Johnnie Krien leads the team with 1,343 yards on 178 carries (7.6 yards per carry) and 20 touch-downs.

Scott Sandoval (104-905-13) and quarterback Zach Hox-ie (133-860-13 rushing; 40-90-679-2-4 passing) are also ca-pable of making a big play.

Bottom line: Kent Denver can score plenty of points. They’ll need the defense to get back to playing the way they did during the regular season, where they allowed just 56 points in nine games.

Faith Christian’s surprise run at repeat falls short Eagles dominate state semifi nal but lose game in shootout

By Daniel Williams dwil l [email protected]

DENVER - Soccer can be a cruel game.

In last week’s quarter-fi nals, Faith Christian was admittedly outplayed by The Classical Academy only to pull out a one-goal victory.

Last Wednesday, Kent Denver returned the favor.

That is the only way that the Eagles can look at their thrilling 1-1 (5-3) loss to the Sun Devils in a shoot-out after double overtime Wednesday at All City Field.

The 2011 boys’ soccer 3A state champion’s reign came to an end when Kent Denver, who was dominat-ed for most of the action, found a way to steal a goal in the second half which tied the game and eventu-ally sent it to a shootout where the Sun Devils pre-vailed 5-3.

“You could say it was stolen from us, but that is what can happen in games like this,” Faith Christian coach Will Lind said. “Did we out play them? Yes. Did they deserve to win? Yes. And they did.”

But it is how they did it that will leave a bad taste in the Eagles’ mouths.

After a scoreless fi rst half where Faith Christian dom-inated most of the action including hitting the cross-bar, they fi nally scored ear-ly in the second half when junior Stefan Knoerr - who earlier hit the crossbar - converted a goal off senior Liam Noone’s pass.

The Eagles continued to dominate tempo as well as possession and looking like they were on the verge of going to the state champi-onship game.

However, Faith Chris-tian’s frosh net-minder made a rare mistake and kicked the ball off from just outside of his box late in

the second half.Kent Denver was award-

ed a free kick which they converted to tie the game and were able to hold off Faith Christian for the re-mainder of regulation and overtime, sending the con-test into a shootout.

But Faith Christian ju-nior Cameron Doody, one of the team’s best players the entire season, had his shot blocked by Kent Den-ver goalie Mark Seigal.

“We beat (The Classical Academy) in similar fash-ion (1-0 in the quarterfi -nals) to get to this point so I guess it might be a little karma,” Faith Christian Knoerr said. “Still no one thought we could get to this point now we have to turn the karma back in our favor and come back and get it done next year.”

Faith Christian’s experi-ence may also be a bless-ing in disguise because the Eagles had no business get-ting to the state semifi nals considering they lost 6 of

their 11 starters from their title team and they start a freshman goaltender.

But karma built from practice, experience, play-ing the right way and just plain hustle drove Faith Christian past the state’s No. 1 seed The Classical Academy, propelling them to the fi nal four and nearly past Kent Denver.

“We had a great season. We were beat up early in our schedule but came out better for it and although we lost so much from last year’s team I think these guys were good enough to win it this year,” Lind said. “We will use this and come back next year stronger.”

And while Faith Chris-tian’s players are crushed after coming so close to repeating, they know that next season’s team sets up to be perhaps one of their best in school history.

The Eagles have 19 members of their varsity team returning next sea-son.

Regis Jesuit happy for Weiss

Search for new baseball coach to start soon By Daniel P. Johnson [email protected]

When Kelly Doherty hired Walt Weiss to be the head baseball coach at Regis Jesuit High School, he knew that he was hiring a man of integrity.

So, when news broke last week that Weiss, a former Major League Baseball shortstop, was being hired by the Colo-rado Rockies to be their new manager, Doherty was not mad.

He also wasn’t surprised.“Walt was in touch with me every step

of the way,” said Doherty, the boys’ divi-sion athletic director at Regis Jesuit. “This wasn’t something that came out of left fi eld; I knew it was coming and that he had been asked to interview for the Rock-ies job.

“I’m very proud of Walt; it’s not every day a high school coach goes on to man-age in the major leagues.”

Much has been made of Weiss’s stint at Regis Jesuit - and lack of major league coaching experience - in the national media, but he’s far from your typical high school coach.

After all, how many former American League Rookie of the Year (he won the award in 1988 as a member of the Oakland A’s) and World Series champion (1989 with the A’s) ballplayers spend time coaching high school kids?

Doherty has no doubts that Weiss was

the right man for the Colorado Rockies job.

“Walt is great at whatever he does,” Doherty said. “I think his love and respect for the game is something that translates across all levels of baseball. He will expect everyone on his team to play hard every day. I think he’s a great fi t.”

Prior to coaching at Regis Jesuit (fi rst as an assistant before taking over the head coaching job in 2012), Weiss worked in the Rockies’ front offi ce and as a special in-structor from 2002-08.

The main motivation for Weiss mov-ing to the prep ranks was to spend more time with his family, and to have the op-portunity to coach his sons. His second-oldest son, Brody, 18, is a senior at Regis Jesuit High School and, like his dad, plays shortstop. The Raiders won the Class 5A Continental League, reached the Class 5A state semifi nals and fi nished 2012 with a 20-6 record.

“Walt is a guy that’s really tight with our community,” Doherty said. “He’s a great role model for the kids and all the kids here wanted to play for Walt. We are lucky to have the Weiss family a part of the Regis Jesuit community.”

The next step for Doherty is fi nding a replacement for Weiss at Regis Jesuit. Weiss has given Doherty some input in terms of possible candidates for the posi-tion.

“I have a list with some names on it from Walt,” Doherty said. “I’m also go-ing to put together some names that I will want to talk to. It won’t be a gigantic search and I’d prefer to get someone in sooner than later.”

NOVEMBER SPECIAL Holiday programs o� er

help for children, seniorsGroups target people who are su� ering By Ryan Boldrey [email protected]

As the holidays ap-proach, many people begin to think outside the box.

Two charitable organiza-tions, Operation Christmas Child and Home Instead Se-nior Care, are busy trying to get people thinking about the importance of fi lling boxes.

Established in North Carolina in 1993, Operation Christmas Child has col-lected and hand-delivered more than 94 million shoe-boxes full of toys, school supplies and hygiene items for needy children in 130 countries.

The organization hopes to give 9 million more gifts this year and has a goal of collecting 15,000 of those in the Denver area while its collection sites are open — through Nov. 19.

According to Brooke

Schmidt, a volunteer with OCC, there are fi ve collec-tion sites in the south met-ro area, including Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch and Ju-bilee Fellowship Church in Lone Tree. Another drop-off site is GracePoint Commu-nity Church in Littleton.

“The sites will be bus-tling with activity as thou-sands of shoeboxes packed full of goodies for needy kids overseas are dropped off by local individuals and families,” Schmidt said, adding that anyone can do-nate.

“For many children, the shoebox gift will be the fi rst gift they have ever re-ceived.”

Schmidt said those who want to see where their gifts end up can “follow” their box to its destination by fi ll-ing out the donation form at www.samaritanspurse.org/occ.

On the other end of the age gap, Home Instead Se-nior Care is focused on the elderly.

HISC has partnered with

two Castle Rock Walgreens, 14 E. Allen St. and 355 S. Wilcox St., to implement its nationwide “Be a Santa to a Senior” program that will make sure isolated lo-cal seniors receive gifts and companionship over the holidays.

“Seniors faced with med-ical bills and the high cost of living can fi nd they have little left at the end of the year,” said Chance Parker, owner of the Castle Rock Home Instead Senior Care that serves Douglas and Elbert counties. “Helping a needy older adult can bring fulfi llment to the giver as well as the receiver.”

The program runs from Nov. 15-Dec. 15. Christmas trees at the stores will fea-ture ornaments with the fi rst names of the seniors and their gift requests.

Shoppers are asked to pick an ornament off the tree, buy items on the list and return them to the store.

Gifts will be wrapped and distributed by volun-teers in time for Christmas.
