City manager hunt advances Executive session helps narrow � eld of applicants By Tom Munds [email protected]
The Englewood City Council took the next step in the search for a new city man-ager when they met behind closed doors on July 14.
“The search fi rm has identifi ed 13 semifi nalists,” said Sue Eaton, Englewood human resources director. “The goal of the July 14 meeting was to select the fi ve fi nalists who will come to Englewood for the interview process.”
Englewood is searching for a new city manager to fi ll the vacancy that will be created when current City Manager Gary Sears retires in September.
The council decided to hire a fi rm to conduct a nationwide search. There were seven applications and, on May 5, the council chose Slavin Management Con-sultants to conduct the search.
“Slavin advertised the position vacan-cy and received 101 responses,” said Mike Flaherty, deputy city manager. “They narrowed the fi eld to 13 semifi nalists. A Slavin representative worked with the council in the July 14 meeting to review

Chief aims to restart anti-drug task force Collins seeks an agency to do drug-related investigations By Tom Munds [email protected]
Englewood Police Chief John Collins detailed reasons he and other Arapahoe County law enforcement offi cials want to establish a drug task force.
“The South Metro Drug Task Force that successfully conducted drug-related inves-tigations was disbanded in 2012,” Collins told the Englewood City Council at the July 7 study session. “It was replaced by a multi-ju-risdictional impact team. The impact team has done an admirable job but the mission was large, including investigation of pattern crimes.
“The result is we have found drug in-vestigations are not getting the attention a stand-along drug task force could provide. Several Arapahoe County law enforcement offi cials agree we need to set up a system of enhanced drug case enforcement. I support the idea and I want our department to move in that direction.”
Collins said there is support for the coun-ty drug task force from George Brauchler, 18th Judicial District district attorney; Dave Walcher, the recently appointed Arapahoe County Sheriff; and the Littleton, Sheridan, Aurora, Greenwood Village and Glendale chiefs of police.
“While the task force is doing a very good
Performance by Papa Juke marks midpoint of summer series By Tom Munds [email protected]
Lots of hands clapped and toes tapped around the Engle-wood Amphitheater as Papa Juke played their rendition of the blues mixed with soul and rock at the July 10 Sounds of Summer Concert.
The group did some blues standards as well as some origi-nal numbers for a crowd of about 500 people.
The musicians in the Papa Juke group are Christine Webb on bass, Dr. Jim Seely on guitar, “Mad Dog” Friedman on har-monica and Dan “Mojoman” Crecco on drums. All members are featured on vocals.
The music moved several members of the audience as a number of couples danced to select tunes and a couple people did their own dance steps to the music.
Jim Woods and his wife Sally came to the concert and stepped out to dance a few times.
“I like blues music and when
I read Papa Juke was playing, we decided to come and check it out,” said Jim Woods. “The group is pretty good. The guy on the harmonica really cooks.”
The Centennial resident said this was the fi rst Englewood con-cert he had attended.
“This is a nice venue,” Woods said. “Coming to a concert here is a pleasant way to spend a sum-mer evening. It is really good when the group jams like this group does.”
The Papa Juke concert marked the halfway point for this year’s Sounds of Summer concert se-
ries that concludes with the Aug. 7 concert.
The Sounds of Summer con-certs are held at 6:30 p.m. each Thursday at the Englewood Am-phitheater that is located at the base of the bridge leading to the Englewood Light Rail Station.
There is no charge for admis-sion and, while chairs are set up on the grass area in front of the stage, concertgoers are invited to bring their own chairs as well. In case of inclement or threatening weather, call 303-762-2598 for information on whether the con-cert will go on as planned.

Obama makes visit to Denver ‘No doubt we are making progress,’ president says at Cheesman Park By Vic Vela [email protected]
President Barack Obama told a Denver audience on July 9 that the country’s economy is better off now than when he took office five years ago, and blasted Republi-cans in Congress who “have blocked or voted down ev-ery serious idea to strengthen the middle class.”
But Republicans shot back against a “lonely” presi-dent whose low approval ratings they believe scared off some local Democratic officeholders from attending Obama’s speech in central Denver’s Cheesman Park.
The president’s speech came the night after he raised money for Democratic Sen. Mark Udall, who is in a tight re-election bid against a challenger, U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner. Udall stayed in Washington for a vote on a Cabinet nominee and did not attend the fundraiser or Obama’s speech the next day.
Obama touted an economy that has produced 10 million jobs since he took office during the Great Reces-sion in 2009, and pointed to a national unemployment rate that is at its lowest point since that year.
“What I want to make sure of is, as screwed-up some-times as Washington gets, that everybody understands that there’s progress to be made and that there’s some-one here who is fighting for them, even though it can feel like the system is rigged against them,” the presi-dent said.
Obama pointed to an improved housing and con-struction environment; an automobile industry that is making strides; and greater energy independence as key factors that are driving an economy that was in dire straits prior to him taking office.
“So despite what you may here, there is no doubt we are making progress,” Obama said. “By almost every measure, we are better off than when I took office.”
The president also defended recent executive ac-tions that have irked Republicans. Obama said he has taken it upon himself to make changes to immigration policy, rising student loan debt, and pay discrepancies between men and women, because the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has blocked his policy initiatives at every turn.
Obama then took a shot at Republican House Speak-er John Boehner for suing the president, on grounds that Obama has overstepped his authority by sidestep-ping Congress while taking his own action on certain policy areas.
“Now, I gather that some of the Republicans in Con-
gress are mad at me for going ahead and doing things,” Obama said. “They have a plan to sue me for taking ex-ecutive actions that are within my authority, while they do nothing.
“I have a better idea. They should do something rather than engage in political stunts that are a waste of time and taxpayer money; join me and let’s do some things together.”
Instead of joining in, area Republicans pounced on the president’s visit to Colorado. They see Obama as a weak and unpopular president, being avoided by key Democrats running for re-election this fall.
Polls show that Obama’s approval ratings are abys-mal. And Republicans said it is no wonder that Demo-crats such as Gov. John Hickenlooper and Udall didn’t attend the president’s speech July 9.
State Republican Party Chairman Ryan Call blasted Obama’s record as having failed working families and having caused many Coloradans to lose a previously ex-isting health care plan as a result of the Affordable Care Act — the president’s signature piece of legislation.
“President Obama, Sen. Udall and Gov. Hickenlooper have had their chance to make things better, but they have failed,” Call said in an emailed statement. “Colo-radans are ready to elect new leaders who will listen to the people of Colorado, and not be a rubber stamp for President Obama’s same, tired policies.”
Hickenlooper’s office said the governor was not dodging the president and that he had a prior engage-ment that had been booked well before Obama’s speech — which was announced on July 7. The governor did get together with Obama to drink beer and play pool with him in downtown Denver the night before his speech.
In an effort to put aside the politics of his visit, Obama said in his Denver speech that he will continue to push policies on his own in polarized Washington — policies that he believes will help “ordinary Americans.”
“We’re fighting for the idea that everybody gets an opportunity no matter what you look like or where you’re from or who you love or how you grew up or what your last name is,” the president said. “America is a place where you should be able to make it if you try.”

UDALL SAYS HE WASN’T AVOIDING PRESIDENT
DEMOCRATIC SEN. Mark Udall said he was not avoiding Presi-dent Barack Obama when he didn’t attend Denver events involving the president last week.
REPUBLICANS MOCKED Udall for not attending his own fund-raiser that the president headlined on July 8 and for not showing up for an economic speech that Obama gave in central Denver the next day.
INSTEAD, UDALL stayed in Washington, D.C., “to do his job.”
“I APPRECIATE the president’s support,” Udall told reporters on July 11. “I wanted to be here but I had a job to do in Washington.”
UDALL SAID he stayed in Washington to cast votes for Obama’s Housing and Urban Development secretary and for key pieces of legislation.
REPUBLICANS SAID that Udall — who is running in a tight re-election bid against U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner — was making a politically strategic decision to not be seen with a president with low approval ratings.
“I’LL LET the pundits talk about all of that,” Udall said. “I was in DC doing my job. Coloradans know that’s the number one focus I had. I appreciate the president’s support and, as you know, we had Vice President (Joe) Biden here last month and I was here to stand with him...”

Littleton could get � rst roundabout Intersection in western part of city sees � ve accidents per year By Jennifer Smith [email protected]
The city’s public works department will ask Littleton City Council to approve nearly $1 million in the 2015 bud-get to install a roundabout at an intersection that’s averag-ing about fi ve accidents per year.
About 7,000 cars a day cross the intersection at South Prince Street and West Centennial Avenue, according to Charlie Buck, a traffi c consultant with Felsburg, Holt and Ullevig. It’s close to Home Depot, several retail and fast-
food outlets and lots of multifamily residential complexes, including RiverPointe Senior Community.
Michelle Stevens, also with FHU, said roundabouts are great options for seniors, because they have to turn their heads less than at a four-way stop, and make fewer judg-ment calls.
“Judging gaps is easier, and mistakes are not (as) lethal,” she said.
AARP agrees, noting benefi ts on a spring 2014 fact sheet.“Because modern roundabouts feature lower, safer
vehicle speeds, which also requires approaching drivers to slow down, pedestrian and driver risks are reduced,” it reads.
Between February 2012 and December 2013, there were 11 accidents at the intersection, all of them front to side, according to the Littleton Police Department.
“Left-turn T-bones are the most dramatic there,” said Stevens.
She adds that a roundabout can reduce traffi c delays by as much as 20 percent by keeping traffi c fl owing instead of stopping at stop signs.
FHU also recommends reducing the number of lanes at the intersection from two to one in each direction, leaving more room to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians.
Councilmember Bruce Beckman wondered if some cost savings could be achieved by simply cutting out the extra lanes without adding the roundabout, but Buck said the construction costs would be similar and the safety benefi ts reduced.
“We feel that the roundabout has signifi cant benefi ts to the community,” said Charlie Blosten, the city’s director of public works.

Task Forcejob there is interest in enhanced drug enforcement and in-vestigation,” Walcher said. “The concept is in the discussion stage. It could be a separate drug task force or could be a part of the impact team. I am behind enhanced drug enforcement and what this group will eventually look like is still to be de-termined.”
Collins told the city council there is a need to get the task force up to speed as quickly as possible. He said he and sup-porters of the proposal hope to get the new Arapahoe County Drug Task Force staffed and in operation by Aug. 1.
Collins said the need for a drug task force has become more important because of the increase in heroin use and overdose deaths. He said heroin has become cheaper and of-ten poses a danger to the uses because of the increased purity of the drug available on the streets.
“We feel all the law enforcement agencies in Arapahoe County have a need for in-depth investigation of drug cases by well-trained members of a street-level drug task force,” he said. “I propose sending a sergeant to the task force and trans-fer our investigator with the impact team to the task force.”
He asked for city council approval for his personnel moves because it will involve hiring a new patrol offi cer.
“When we send the sergeant to the task force, we will hire a new patrol offi cer,” the police chief said. “It will not be a budget issue because Englewood receives $90,000 per year for participation in the East Metro Auto Theft Task Force. That money will cover hiring another patrol offi cer.”
Councilmember Rick Gillit said he is glad to see the drug task force reformed because it is an asset to the community, and Councilmember Joe Jefferson had similar comments.
Mayor Randy Penn said he supported the proposal and the council gave consensus approval for Collins to move for-ward.

those 13 semifinalists with the goal of re-ducing the field to three to five finalists, who will be invited to come to Engle-wood to be interviewed.”
The July 14 meeting was an execu-tive session. Eaton said the reason the session was held behind closed doors is that some of the candidates may not have made it public that they are apply-ing for this position, so the search firm assured all those on the semifinalists list that their information would remain confidential.
“The semifinalists are a mix of candi-
dates from out of state and candidates from in state. There are no internal can-didates in the semifinal list,” Eaton said. “However, once the finalists are select-ed, Slavin has contacted them and they agreed to come to Englewood to be inter-viewed, state law requires their names be made public.”
As part of the July 14 meeting, the council planned to establish the inter-view process for the finalists.
“The tentative goal is to hold the council interviews on Aug. 11,” Flaherty said. “The makeup of the panel or pan-els interviewing the candidates is yet to be determined. However, the council is committed to have a public session with the finalists. Again, how that public ses-sion will be conducted also is yet to be determined.”

Council honors military enlistees Proclamation commends Englewood graduates entering into service By Tom Munds [email protected]
Several young Englewood residents join the military ser-vice each year and, this year for the fi rst time, the city council passed a proclamation honoring each of the enlistees.
“The council honoring our graduating seniors who join the military service is something that is long overdue,” Mayor Randy Penn said. “Councilmember Steve Yates brought the idea forward to honor a single student and everyone agreed we should expand the proclamation to honor all those who have who have enlisted to serve their country.”
Councilmembers unanimously approved the proclama-tion for this year and then gave consensus approval to make
honoring graduating seniors entering the military service a yearly tradition.
On July 7, Mayor Penn read the proclamation and Mayor Pro Tem Linda Olson gave copies of the proclamation to all eight enlistees.
Those entering the U.S. Army are Englewood High School graduates Madison Andrade and Tyler Andrew, and Shawn Wiggins, a Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School graduate.
Enlistees in the Navy are Englewood High School graduate Angelica Chee and Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School graduate Basillo Silva-Silerio.
Those entering the Marine Corps are Englewood High School graduates Kenny Gelinas and Scott Neff.
Alanna Carrigan, Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School graduate, is enlisting in the Army Reserves.
Prior to the council proclamation approval, representa-tives of Englewood Citizens for Open Government presented certifi cates honoring Neff for his service as a student intern with Colorado State Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton.

Hobby Lobby ruling under further scrutiny Udall introduces legislation to overturn Supreme Court decision By Vic Vela [email protected]
Sen. Mark Udall and several other con-gressional Democrats unveiled legislation last week that seeks to push back against a recent and controversial Supreme Court de-cision over contraception.
Udall’s bill, which is being dubbed the “Not My Boss’s Business Act,” would restore the contraception coverage requirement that is a component of the Affordable Care Act.
“It will restore a woman’s power to make a personal health care decision based on what is best for her and her families and not ac-cording to her employer’s personal beliefs,” Udall said during a July 11 press conference in downtown Denver.
That “Obama Care” component — which mandates that employers provide contracep-tion coverage in their company health plans — was dealt a blow by the Supreme Court late last month.
The court gave the OK for certain com-
panies with religious objections to avoid the contraception coverage requirement. The ruling is known as the Hobby Lobby deci-sion, named after one of the companies that brought the case.
The court insisted that its ruling was nar-row. But Udall said that the decision could impact millions of other employees across the country that may have to “ask their boss-es for a permission slip to access important forms of birth control or other critical health services.”
“The men and women who signed up to work at Hobby Lobby signed up to work at a craft store, not a religious organization,” Udall said.
Udall also warned that the ruling could have a slippery slope impact in other areas of health care where religious objections might exist, such as vaccinations and HIV treat-ment.
Leaders of various women’s organizations, who voiced their support of the legislation, joined Udall at the press conference.
“We believe strongly that health care is a human right and that private corporations should not be allowed to discriminate against women in the guise of religious freedom,” said Cristina Aguilar of the Colorado Organi-zation for Latina Opportunity and Reproduc-
tive Rights.U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, a Democrat who
represents Colorado’s 7th Congressional Dis-trict, is a House co-sponsor of the legislation. Through an emailed statement, Perlmutter cited recent state statistics that indicate that contraception services have contributed to a 40-percent drop in teenage pregnancies since 2009.
“I want all women, including my daugh-ters, to have access to the most effective forms of family planning services and preventative health options, regardless of their employers’ beliefs,” Perlmutter said.
Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans are critical of the legislation, dismissing the
bill as an attempt by Democrats to rally wom-en voters for the upcoming mid-term elec-tions.
A spokesman for Rep. Cory Gardner, who is running against Udall for his Senate seat, said that Udall’s opposition to Gardner’s own proposal to making oral contraception avail-able over the counter shows that he is “more concerned with his own political health than women’s health...”
“We can only conclude that Mark Udall is desperate to keep this as a political issue in-stead of solving the problem,” said Gardner spokesman Alex Siciliano. “Cory is presenting a solution to benefi t Coloradans — Senator Udall is preserving his own political arsenal.”

LETTER TO THE EDITORUdall ignores the law again
Colorado U.S. Sen. Udall has introduced a bill called “Protect Women’s Health from Cor-porate Interference” which would mandate that Christian employers pay for employees contraceptive coverage even though that would violate the Religious Freedom Restora-tion Act. Newsfl ash to Senator Udall: The Supreme Court just ruled that this is against the law.
Usually Udall is notoriously quiet about broken laws. For example, when Obama made illegal recess appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (which the Supreme Court just overturned), what did we hear from Udall? Silence. When Obama made some 30 odd illegal changes to Obamacare, done without the required congressional vote, again only silence from Udall.
So if Udall is not spending time trying to uphold the law of the land, what is he doing? Alas, one of his emails trumpets him spend-ing a lot of time picking a Christmas tree for the White House. How disappointing.
The people of Colorado deserve better. It’s time to vote out Udall. He can’t see the forest for the trees.

Market corrections are healthy Many investors are wondering when
and how severe the next stock market correction will be. Those who have invested are worried, and those on the sidelines are waiting for an opportunity to buy on a dip.
The summer months can be slow due to low trading volume. This may cause the equities market to remain flat, or take a breather. Third-quarter earnings season is upon us, which will make it in-teresting to see how this summer pans out.
Some analysts are predicting a slow-er second half based on the fact that we were virtually reaching new market highs daily for the last four months. Others are basing their outlook on earn-ings and whether the lackluster growth in our economy can support the in-crease in stock prices.
The real reason for any fluctuation is usually a combination of factors, but there is always a catalyst that trig-gers the inevitable. The concerns over Europe and their potential recession along with China’s disappointing ex-ports could dampen the overall global economy, which also puts pressure on
the United States.All of these moving parts create a
predicament for the Federal Reserve policy as well. Their original mandate to begin raising interest rates when un-employment dropped to current levels has some investors very nervous. Chair-woman Janet Yellen has indicated the tapering of the bond purchase program could end in October, which should pull some of the steam out of the market. Perhaps we are feeling these concerns starting to price themselves into the daily market fluctuations.
This quarter’s earnings reports will push the markets in all directions. In

Wisdom takes a vacation “Common sense takes a vacation” prob-
ably makes more sense, but “wisdom” just sounds so much smarter, doesn’t it?
I am usually never being accused of hav-ing either — wisdom or common sense, that is — however, I do believe it is fair for me to share my exploits and adventures while on my current vacation, where wisdom and common sense took some time off right alongside of me.
Almost every year since living in Colo-rado, I have been blessed enough to be able to bring my family back to the New Jersey beach, more commonly referred to as the Jersey Shore, to spend time reuniting with family and friends and for some wonderful beach time. So far so good, right?
Here is where wisdom and common sense went right out the window, or were washed away in the tide. You see I know better, especially as I age and battle some health issues of my own, that vacation time should really be about recharging the batteries of life, getting plenty of rest and relaxation, embracing time with family and friends, and taking in the solace of the sights and sounds of the ocean.
Even if I wanted to take in a light workout or two while away, that may have been sensible. Instead, what did I do? The two weeks at the Jersey Shore quickly became an assault on my body through very bad dietary choices, lack of proper sleep, and a
very large project and opportunity surfaced at work that needed too much of my atten-tion. And all of you maintaining wisdom and common sense will know the results right? Heartburn, headaches, fatigue, stress, and missed opportunities to spend quality time with family and friends, causing even greater stress.
I mean, this is my sweet spot, this is where I coach others in how to maximize goals, achieve success, and enjoy the ben-efi ts earned by working hard and smart so that vacation time is just that, vacation time.
Now I know I am being hard on myself while trying to illustrate a point, but serious-ly, I feel like the cobbler who fi xes everyone else’s footwear while walking around myself in worn and tattered shoes.
I used to reward myself while on vaca-tion, signing up for two weeks at the local gym, going to bed early, waking up before everyone else to spend quiet time on the
beach in meditation and reading something inspirational before the family joined me. The solitary time spent in refl ection and reading against the backdrop of the ocean, lapping waves, the aroma of salt air and suntan lotion, and sand between my toes before hitting the gym prepared me for the day, even perhaps a few indulgences and extra calories in pizza, ice cream, a few beers, and some awesome grilled food right at home.
Vacation time is awesome, wisdom is wonderful, and common sense keeps us grounded as we take our well-deserved rest and relaxation in the mountains, at a beach, on a lake or river, and right at home. It’s when we practice lack of wisdom and dem-onstrate zero restraint in the common sense category that our vacations become more than we expected and we defi nitely wind up needing a vacation from our vacation.
Its summertime and I would love to hear all about your stories of wisdom, or a lack of wisdom and common sense while vacation-ing, at [email protected]. When we balance our lives and treat ourselves to true rest and relaxation, it really will be a better than good week.

the end you may notice not much move-ment due to the anticipation of these changes, combined with the slow sum-mer months.
Wise investors know that market cor-rections create opportunities and are important to create a solid foundation to build from. Those sitting on the side-lines waiting for an opportunity to jump in will likely never feel the temperature is just right and could continue to miss out on opportunities.
The recent paltry market pull-backs we have experienced in the last three years are an indication that even with a small dip of 5 percent, many buyers wait-ing to get into the market are keeping a real correction (defined as 10 percent or more) from occurring.
If you are sitting on the fence wait-ing for a decline in stock prices, just ask yourself if the markets will be higher or lower 20 years in the future. Then act ac-cordingly.
Consult your financial plan and up-date your goals and timeline to help you determine what assets are long-term. Then be ready as the summer months will likely give you a chance to put that money to work.

Even Dr. Seuss chose not to have children Dr. Seuss said, “A person’s a person,
no matter how small.”But not everyone pays attention to
that. Almost every day there is another horror story that seems to top the one I just got over.
Children aren’t getting any breaks. Maybe they never have. The media are on high alert like never before, and per-haps that’s only because of nanosecond technologies. Or ratings.
“A report of child abuse is made every 10 seconds, and more than four children die every day as a result of child abuse,” according to www.childhelp.org.
Children are being neglected, starved in closets, abducted, shot, raped or interred in shoeboxes. Or left alone in hot cars.
There are men who prey on children, either for themselves or as a service to others. There may be only one thing more heinous than child prostitution: The abuse of a child by a parent.
There should be a long, required, written test that has to be taken before someone is allowed to have a child. I mean it. I took one. I realized I wouldn’t
have made a very good father. I am too selfish.
I guess I always thought that having a child was just about the most important thing a human being could ever do. The most meaningful one, with the highest expectations and greatest responsibili-ties.
Then I see Dr. Drew and his impas-sioned panel describing another uncon-scionable performance by a mother, a father — or a stranger. The sad part of it is that even though the panel members are upset, they spend half of the pro-gram laughing.
Some people shouldn’t be permitted to have one child, much less six. But it’s an everlasting right, isn’t it?
I think that many people have chil-
dren because they think they are sup-posed to, even if they are off their rock-ers in the first place. You go to school, get a job and start a family, and do it without considering all of the ramifica-tions.
If I did have a child, I wouldn’t know how to explain why there are more than 3 million reports of child abuse in the United States every year, much less how to explain Kwame Kilpatrick, Jeffrey Dahmer, Boko Haram or “The Black Dahlia.”
I would have a very hard time trying to explain the Holocaust. I’d do a bad job.
I could explain the color wheel or Analytical Cubism but not My Lai. Not a chance. So it’s probably a good thing that I don’t have children.
I lived next to a couple that had a child-a-year, whether they needed another one or not. Mom attempted sui-cide. Dad committed suicide. I am sure the kids who survived are in therapy, or should be.
If you have been a reader, you know that I am not very happy-go-lucky with
people, but it’s only with big people. But that doesn’t mean: Send me your children.
I have also lived long enough to know that we do things that we regret, but having a child shouldn’t be one of them. Any psychological or physical hurt of a child is unpardonable.
However, I won’t live long enough to see what becomes of the hundreds and hundreds of kids who are illegally crossing into America right now, but I’ll bet you that the consequences will be overwhelming. I hope their parents sent them off knowing the definition of xenophobia.
While there are millions of Americans who have open hearts, there’s a lot of xenophobia going around — tons of it.
Oscar Wilde said, “Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.”

Facts, science should drive fracking debate For the past few years we’ve seen
environmental activists take a greater role within Colorado communities and impose ideologically extreme agendas onto local residents. Fear mongering and distorting the facts are their spe-cialty, and many locals don’t see what’s happening until it is too late.
Alarmist claims by activist groups have led to oil and gas drilling morato-riums that are passed out of panic and based on opinion, not science. These extremists don’t care if they put people out of work and send Colorado into an economic recession. Fractivists, as they have come to be known, would have the public believe that the jury is still out on whether the process of hydraulic fracturing is safe. If you’re someone who doesn’t believe in science and still thinks the earth is flat, than this may seem like a reasonable perspective. For the rest of us, however, it is simply impossible to ignore the facts.
Fact: over one million wells have been safely fracked in the U.S. since 1947. Fracking takes place a mile below the surface and thousands of feet below Colorado’s drinking water table. Sev-eral layers of cement and steel are used to protect groundwater sources, and
fracking fluid is 99.5 percent water and sand. Oil and gas companies work with engineers, wildlife biologists, geologists and environmental experts before a well is ever fracked. This is to ensure that the health and safety of the environment and local residents is protected. EPA ad-ministrator Gina McCarthy even told the Boston Globe “there is nothing inher-ently dangerous about fracking.”
The leaders of the anti-fracking movement sweeping through Colorado don’t care about any of that. A simple Google search will show that their true intentions are actually hidden from every day Coloradans.
Former Erie Mayor Joe Wilson told The Daily Camera in 2012 that he be-lieved the town’s board of trustees was given false information on air quality before voting on a 180-day moratorium on new oil and gas development. Erie
town officials ended up commission-ing their own air quality studies, which proved there was no danger.
As environmentalists work to ban fracking in our state, I urge voters to get all the facts before making a deci-sion. Coloradans have the right to hold oil and gas companies accountable and make sure they’re following all the rules. This is part of the deal — you drill in our backyard, and we hold your feet to fire. What we don’t need are roaming bands of fractivists muddying up this issue with insincere hysterics and outright lies.
Colorado is host to some of the most well-educated residents in the nation. Thirty-second sound bites have ren-dered some of the brightest among us
to believe half-truths and distortions. Please do not make this important is-sue one of those times where you are swayed by those that would like to see this industry shut down.
Do your research and realize that while this industry no more deserves a free pass than any other, they also de-serve the ability to provide energy here in America, reduce our foreign depen-dence, and create good, stable, well-paying jobs for Coloradans.
Jeff Wasden, Highlands Ranch resident, is president of the Colorado Business Roundtable and sits on the board of Vital For Colorado, a group of business leaders working to promote the benefits of energy production in the State of Colorado.

Chamber joins call for immigration reformLet employers recruit and employees work legally, leaders sayBy Jennifer [email protected]
As thousands of Central American im-migrants, mostly women and children, continue to pour across the border be-tween Mexico and the United States in what some are calling an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, chambers of com-merce across the country called for im-mediate reform.
“While politics may be in a stalemate, business leaders are more convinced than ever that something needs to be done,” Jeff Wasden, president of the Col-orado Business Roundtable, said during a press conference at the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce in Cen-tennial on July 9.
The South Metro Chamber joined
with some 60 other chambers across the country for a “Day of Action,” sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the American Farm Bureau Federation, Busi-ness Roundtable, AmericanHort, West-ern Growers and the National Associa-tion of Manufacturers.
Meanwhile, at Cheesman Park in Den-ver, President Barack Obama was defend-ing recent executive actions he’s taken that have irked Republicans, including some changes to immigration policy,
“The timing couldn’t be better,” said Wasden. “The president is speaking about the need for executive privilege, but that’s not the right step. … The Con-gress must act.”
Wasden was joined by South Metro Chamber President Bob Golden, 18th Ju-dicial District Attorney George Brauchler and Nick Colglazier, Colorado Farm Bu-reau’s director of public policy for state affairs.
First and foremost, they agree, is to secure the border and enforce current laws.
“Then you can see what the workforce looks like from there,” said Wasden, a Highlands Ranch resident.
They’d all like to see a way for employ-ers to recruit migrant workers legally. Colglazier said the agricultural workers who arrive each season in Colorado are good at what they do, and they don’t nec-essarily want stay here permanently.
He adds that without a legal and sta-ble supply of workers, food would be left to rot in fields as farmers lose the ability to compete with imported goods.
Colglazier endorsed giving such la-borers three-year visas, requiring them to return to the home country at the end of that term.
Brauchler, too, favors a special type of visa that allows victims of crime to re-main in the country legally. He said un-documented residents are often targets, because criminal knows they won’t call the police for fear of being deported.
“It’s not a golden ticket to permanent status,” he said. “… But I want the bad guys to be held accountable, and I don’t care what country they’re from to do it.”
He said when laws aren’t applied uni-formly, it can create divisions in diverse communities.
“As that grows, the business commu-nity suffers, because people don’t feel safe to live in these communities and start businesses in these communities,”
he said.Wasden called for a national e-verify
system that is “effective, efficient and easy” to use for employers, and for a fix to what he called the broken visa pro-gram.
Golden, who just took the helm at the South Metro Chamber last month, noted that 40 percent of businesses started in America today were started by immi-grants or their children, but only 7 per-cent of visas issued are work-related.
“We need to push very hard for re-form,” he said.
Wasden said it’s not just agricultural workers who come to the U.S., but also those skilled in innovation and creativity.
“The STEM fields are just as impor-tant,” he said. “That’s the kind of worker that’s helped build this country.”
There was general support for a pro-posal by U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Au-rora, to allow undocumented children to earn citizenship by spending five years in the military. There was also a general pushback against the notion of a path to citizenship.
“They don’t necessarily want it,” said Wasden. “They just want to work and be without fear of deportation. … It’s about a path to legal status versus a path to citi-zenship, so people can come out of the shadows and pay their fair share.”

Ballot initiatives would have impact on judges Amendments are aimed at increasing judicial accountability in state
By Vic Vela [email protected]
A Wheat Ridge man is behind a pair of ballot initiatives that he hopes will “bring back accountability” to Colorado courtrooms.
But attorney Chris Forsyth acknowl-edges that his effort to change how judg-es are elected and disciplined could be a long shot this year.
“We need lightning to strike,” he said.Forsyth, an attorney of 20 years, is
behind the Clean up the Courts effort, a pair of would-be constitutional amend-ments that seek to restructure parts of the judicial system.
The Two-Thirds Majority Amendment would raise the number of “yes” votes
judges need for retention to a two-thirds majority. Right now, judges retain their bench seats by collecting a simple ma-jority in uncontested races.
“They’re a completely different ani-mal than a normal election because they don’t have an opponent,” Forsyth said. “In a regular election, the opponents point out each other’s flaws, but we don’t have something like that here.”
Forsyth said that the simple majority retention system can lead to a process by which bad judges continue to hold on to their bench seats, he said.
“Too much job security is not a good thing,” he said.
Forsyth also seeks to change how judges are disciplined, through the Hon-est Judge Amendment.
That effort would transfer judges’ disciplinary cases to the Independent Ethics Commission, an agency that is al-ready set up to look into complaints filed against elected officials.
Right now, disciplinary cases are tak-
en up by the Commission on Judicial Discipline. Forsyth said there is a conflict of interest in allowing a commission that reports to the Supreme Court to disci-pline judges.
Forsyth said the commission has dis-missed 97 percent of discipline cases against judges over the last 10 years and the vast majority of those cases were dis-missed without ever really being looked into.
“Our discipline commission isn’t do-ing what it’s supposed to be doing,” For-syth said. “Right now, whether people have a good judge is the luck of the draw. And it shouldn’t be that way.”
But there is opposition to Forsyth’s efforts. The Colorado Bar Association is against the initiatives, claiming that the amendments would have an adverse im-pact on the judicial system.
State Rep. Daniel Kagan, D-Cherry Hills Village, who is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is also op-posed to Forsyth’s efforts.
“These initiatives are seeking to solve a problem that doesn’t seem to exist,” Kagan said. “It’s misguided. These initia-tives suggest that if a judge is more ac-
countable to the popular mood, they will be better judges. That’s not true.”
Kagan said that judges shouldn’t feel pressured into ruling on cases out of fear that he or she might lose his seat because of them.
“Any judicial decision is going to leave somebody angry,” Kagan said. “But if judges are looking over their shoulders every time they do their job, that’s not a good thing.”
Forsyth has until Aug. 4 to submit more than 86,000 valid petition signa-tures to the Secretary of State’s Office, in order for the initiatives to make it on to the November ballot.
Forsyth acknowledges that he has a tall order ahead of him, so he has cre-ated a novel way of collecting signatures through his “change your fate with up to eight” method. The method asks sup-porters to print petitions from his Clean up the Courts website and collect eight signatures on their own.
“It’s all about integrity, that’s what this is all about,” Forsyth said. “We’ve just got to stop the madness and bring back ac-countability.”
Governor urges AG not to appeal Sta� report
Gov. John Hickenlooper last week urged Attorney General John Suthers to not appeal a recent court’s ruling that the state’s ban against gay marriage is unconstitutional.
Adams County District Court Judge C. Scott Crabtree made his ruling the day before a Boulder County judge ruled against Suthers, who was seeking to stop the county clerk there from issuing gay-marriage licenses.
Crabtree stayed his ruling, meaning that the 2006 voter-approved ban on gay marriage will remain on the books,
possibly until the U.S. Supreme Court weighs in on same-sex marriage.
The Republican Suthers can pursue cases involving the state any way he sees fit, but Hickenlooper, a Democrat, would prefer to see him back off.
“The decision on marriage by Judge Crabtree puts Colorado on the right side of history,” the governor said through a statement.
Suthers’ office hinted at further legal action following the ruling in the Boulder County case, saying that the AG’s Office “will act swiftly in an attempt to prevent a legal patchwork quilt from forming.”

EHS student garners national honorsWatson takes second in business competitionBy Tom [email protected]
Kennedy Watson’s voice re-flected her excitement as she talked about taking second place in the client-service cat-egory competition at the Na-tional Future Business Leaders of America conference.
“It was exciting and a little scary,” the Englewood High School senior said of the nation-al competition. “I had advanced through districts and state to get to nationals and, at nation-als, there were probably 100 stu-dents in the client-service cat-egory competition. I made it to the finals and got to go on stage for the awards and then found out I had finished second. It was an incredible feeling when my name was announced.”
Vickie Kennedy, FBLA ad-viser at EHS for 30 years, said other Englewood students have placed at nationals but this is the first Englewood entry to fin-ish second.
“Kennedy is a natural at this event,” the teacher said. “She has the personality that works for her in the competitions. Making it to nationals is always exciting for all of us who get to go. It was really exciting when Kennedy finished second in her category. It is a great accom-plishment for her and for our FBLA chapter.”
Watson said she didn’t know anything about FBLA at the be-ginning of last school year and really wasn’t interested in join-ing.
“My adviser, Mrs. Kennedy, tempted me to join with or-ange juice and doughnuts at the meetings so I went to the meet-ings,” she said with a chuckle. “I sort of got interested in getting
involved in FBLA and my ad-viser recommended I compete in client services because I am outgoing and find it easy to talk with people.”
Her first test came toward the end of the last school year at the district competition. Wat-son said there were 30 other stu-dents competing in the client-services category. She finished in the top three, which qualified her to go to state.
“State was exciting,” she said. “There were more than 1,000 students there and I competed against 40 other students in cli-ent services. Again, I finished in the top three, which qualified me to advance to nationals.”
At nationals, there were about 100 students competing in the client-services category. The field was divided into five groups, and the top three from each group advanced to the fi-nals.
Watson said the judges worked with groups in the semi-finals, but the finals were an in-dividual competition.
“There were 15 of us in the finals. The day after the prelimi-nary competition, we were all gathered in a room to wait our turn to go before the judges,” she said. “When my name was called, I was given the situation I was to deal with. In this case, I was the manager of a business and I needed to make the cus-tomer happy without damaging the integrity of the company.”
She was given 10 minutes to make notes about how she would deal with the client-ser-vice situation. Then, the notes were taken away and she went before the judges to do her pre-sentation.
Her effort earned her second place, a trophy and a $500 cash prize. She said she will use the money to partially repay those who covered the $1,100 cost of her trip to nationals.
Watson joined Jerome
Doughtry and Sofia Montoya as the EHS students who quali-fied to compete at FBLA nation-als June 29-July 2 in Nashville, Tenn.
She said the FBLA conference drew about 10,000 students and advisers from all over the Unit-ed States and two other coun-tries. Attendees included about 300 students from Colorado.
“Nationals were a great ex-perience,” Watson said. “I met a
lot of new people from Colorado that I plan to stay in touch with in the future. I also met a num-ber of people from other states and from Puerto Rico. It was interesting to learn about their schools and how things were done where they lived. It was an amazing time. We also got to visit some of the attractions in Nashville and even got the chance to learn to line dance.”
Watson said when classes
start in August, she plans to try to get other students interested in FBLA.
“The FBLA is fun and edu-cational. I feel the organization can help students learn a lot of real-world skills,” she said. “I hope I can convince other stu-dents that getting involved in FBLA offers a million opportu-nities to learn about business and the business world while having some fun learning.”
Kennedy Watson holds the trophy she won at the National Future Business Leaders of America competition. Watson, who will be a senior when school resumes, took runner-up honors in the client-service category. Watson’s second-place �nish is the highest an EHS student has placed at the national competition. Courtesy photo

Punch is salute to president
As a tribute to President Barack Obama’s surprise visit to the Wazee Supper Club on July 8, the folks behind the bar have created, and are now offering, a special Presidential Punch.
Comprised of vodka, lemon juice, simple syrup, mint and champagne, it’s a not-too-po-litical punch for hot summer days at $6 a pop.
Also, at Wazee the president had peppero-ni and sausage pizza and a Prost Pilsner beer with his dinner companion Gov. John Hick-enlooper. Hick’s former restaurant company owns the venerable Wazee at 15th and Wazee streets.
Perry’s at Park MeadowsPerry’s Restaurants, a Texas-based, family-
owned group of award-winning steakhouses, will open its first location in Colorado this summer in the outside portion of the Park Meadows mall. The Denver location marks the 11th steakhouse location, and its second outside Texas after launching in Chicago last November.
“From our roots as a meat market, we’ve grown to focus not only on great food, but also the experience of our guests,” said Chris Per-ry, founder and owner of Perry’s Restaurants.
Known for its selection of butcher-fresh prime beef, Perry’s is also known for its un-expected steakhouse specialty — Perry’s Fa-mous Pork Chop, a seven-finger tall chop that is dried, cured and roasted, then caramelized and topped with Perry’s signature herb-garlic butter. Perry’s is also home to Bar 79, named after the year Perry’s was founded.

Union Station to openRemember when Denver’s Union Station
had two pay-to-park lots flanking the historic building?
Those have been long gone during the major makeover of the project, which will be formally unveiled to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 26, extended a few weeks from the originally scheduled opening date.
During the much-anticipated massive re-construction project, parking was precious at a meter or you could opt for valet on Wynkoop at Morton’s and Venice restaurants or The Ox-ford Hotel on 17th.
The Union Station project will take the pressure off nearby parking meters, if you’re willing to pay more than a dollar an hour and risk the meter time limit. All Denver Union Station patrons visiting one of the 13 restau-rants and retailers in and around the structure may use the valet at The Crawford Hotel for $10 with a validated ticket.
No validation? That’ll be $20, please. Over-night hotel guests will pay $34 per night. For more information, go to unionstationinden-ver.com.

This free annual salute to the West’s best showman is packed with authentic Western entertainment, live music, kids’ activities, food trucks, beer garden, mutton bustin’ and the Best of the West parade.
The festival’s namesake, Buffalo Bill Cody, spent time in Golden, Denver and Central City with his famous Wild West Show in which
One of two presentations to be held at namesake libraryBy Sonya [email protected]
Maya DeBus has happy childhood mem-ories of spending summer days with her grandparents in their home in Sterne Park, now a local historic landmark called the Be-mis House.
She and her sister and cousins played in the spacious yard and in the cozy house, with attentive Ed and Katherine Bemis on hand to read, play, do art projects, shoot photos and enjoy small-town Littleton.
She will share memories and memora-bilia in two upcoming local programs, both open to the public:
• 7 p.m. July 29 — “Ed Bemis, My Grand-
father,” will be pre-sented at Edwin A. Bemis Public Li-brary, 6014 S. Da-tura St., Littleton, by Historic Little-ton Inc.
DeBus will give a PowerPoint presenta-tion and share some artifacts she has trea-sured. DeBus is a Los Angeles resident, but still visits Littleton fairly frequently. 303-795-3961.
• 3 p.m. Aug. 1 — DeBus will speak at the Englewood Public Library, 1000 Englewood Parkway, Englewood Civic Center, presented by the Englewood Historical Society. 303-762-2560.
The Littleton Museum offers these in-sights:
Ed Bemis was publisher of the Little-ton Independent newspaper, as well as be-ing very active in city affairs and statewide journalism education and organizations. He apprenticed at the newspaper at age 11 and later, took over management, editing, publishing and ownership. In 1926, he hired recent college graduate Houstoun Waring, who became a nationally and internationally famous editor.
In 1911, he married Katherine Prescott Bemis of Litteton, who was known as “Mum-sey” to her grandchildren. She was “an opera singer, artist, sculptress and poet, as well as supportive of my grandfather,” DeBus writes.
Bemis launched the active Colorado Press Association and devoted time and energy to it for many years, as well as to other trade associations, as well as a journalism depart-ment at the University of Colorado. Indepen-dent local newspapers were a focus.
A history buff, he was the first “Sheriff,” or president, of the Denver Westerners, an ongoing organization of members who take turns writing and presenting papers about Western history at monthly dinners.
Interest in history also led to founding the Littleton Historical Society, which preceded the founding of the Littleton Museum. Col-lections were stored in the basement of the county welfare building until 1970, when the museum opened.
In 1965, the Edwin A. Bemis Library opened, honoring his lifelong devotion to his hometown. It’s appropriate that his granddaughter will honor his memory there — and probably share some stories residents have not heard yet.

Englewood summer series tackles ‘Sound of Music’Musical is 50th production put onBy Sonya [email protected]
What could be more appropriate for the 50th pro-duction in Englewood’s Summer Musical series than the beloved “The Sound of Music,” by Rodgers and Hammerstein — an immediate hit on Broadway in 1959, starring Mary Martin, and an award-winning film
in 1965 with Julie Andrews. It has become a piece in our cultural fabric as a nation.
The cast of 93 actors and actresses, ages 7 to 70, is one of the largest ever included in the program. Bill Ambron, retired Englewood High School drama teach-er, has returned to direct his 33rd summer show, and Wendy Mahr is involved with her 15th show — her 11th as vocal director. Choreographer John Mackey is work-ing on his first Englewood summer show.
In 1965, EHS drama teacher Jack Fisher started a treasured tradition when he first did a Broadway show as part of his summer camp: “Little Mary Sunshine.”
This year’s drama classes, rehearsals and perfor-mances are being held at Englewood Middle School’s auditorium, 300 W. Chenango Ave., Englewood, because Englewood High is under construction.
“We plan to have a party next year for the 50th an-niversary, when the program returns to Fisher Audito-rium” at the high school, said Dan Carlson, who is as-sisting with technical aspects of the production.
Performances will be at Englewood Middle School at 7 p.m. July 25-26 and at 2 p.m. July 27.
Ashley Brown will star as Maria, the novice who be-comes a governess for the motherless von Trapp chil-dren and falls in love with their father, Captain Georg von Trapp, played by David Novinger of Littleton. (His wife, Jennifer, plays Elsa Schraeder, son Preston is young Freidrich, while their younger son Carter is in the Children of Nonnberg Abbey Chorus.)
The wise Mother Abbess is portrayed by Renee Leth, and Lenee Businger is Sister Berthe, Andi Owens is Sis-ter Margaretta, and Catherine Floyd plays Sister Sophia.
An additional number of nuns sing in the large en-semble, which also includes Nazis and guests at the captain’s party, at various times.
Meet the charming von Trapp children: Liesl is Jordyn Morgan; Freidrich, Preston Novinger; Louisa, Katherine Gilmour; Kurt, Lars Lundberg; Brigitta, Lexi Lubotsky; Marta, Ana Levy; Gretl, Alexis Frey.
Other principals: Josh Kusch, Shelby Lynn, Xander Trullinger, Dan Barnes, John Driesbach, Emma Olsen and R.J. Floyd.

‘Lords of the Sky’ looks at air combatHampton details history from World War I onwardBy Tom [email protected]
Dan Hampton spent almost a year doing the research and writing needed to author his book “Lords of the Sky,” which explores the evolution of all aspects of aerial combat.
Hampton, one of the most decorated pi-lots in Air Force history, called on his own ex-periences for the more modern description of air combat, then looked to those who were in the cockpits and to mountains of research for information about air combat in past eras.
The 534-page book is divided into con-flicts, starting with the beginning of aerial combat in World War I. Retired Lt. Col. Hamp-ton writes in detail about individual pilots and the aircraft they flew in the widely diverse conflicts. Details range from the wingspan and construction of the aircraft to the innova-tions in armament that took aerial combat to the next level.
“Research was a big part of writing this book,” the author said. “I added about 300 books to my library to provide the research I needed to write this book. For personal expe-rience, I went to the Vintage Aircraft Museum in Fort Lupton and was graciously allowed to get into the cockpit of some of the World War II and World War I planes to get a feel for them. My research included spending a lot of time talking to as many combat pilots from each era as possible.”
He said the aircraft and equipment went through almost constant changes from the open cockpits of World War I to the high-tech situation of today’s fighter pilots.
“While the airspeed, equipment and weapons changes, many of the basic tactics of an aerial combat dogfight remained the same,” Hampton said. “For example, the turn circle that is so much a part of a dogfight, as opposing pilots fly a circle seeking an advan-tage, remains a turn circle.”
While the description of aircraft and in-formation about pilots is very detailed, the author blends those details into information
about the politics and history of the time. For example, Hampton explores the little-known era of aerial combat that occurred between the world wars and how that combat helped improve aircraft, weapons and fighter pilot skills. In talking about the history of the two wars, Hampton points out that three World War II leaders, Churchill, Hitler and Musso-lini, all served in the trenches in World War I.
Hampton also writes about the fact that many leaders, including those in the United States, frequently refused to learn from previ-ous experiences and thus repeated past mis-takes.
To further inform the reader, Hampton added a wealth of knowledge in the appendix, including a detailed explanation of the anato-my of a dogfight and the anatomy of a surface attack. There is a wealth of maps of the areas discussed in the book, plus a full glossary of terms.
“Lords of the Sky” is a book that will appeal greatly to those interested in history, aviation and aerial combat. However, the history and information about the impact of the political and economic climate woven into the evolu-tion of aircraft and aerial combat makes read-ing the book time well spent.

SPORTSCamp focuses on fundamentalsCoach organizes two-day camp to promote love of baseballBy Tom [email protected]
Young players moved from station to station, taking part in drills emphasiz-ing proper catching, throwing and hitting techniques.
And perhaps the best part of the two-day baseball camp July 12 and 13 at Engle-wood High School was that it was free. Nate Johnson, a youth sports coach, spearhead-ed the effort and organized the Englewood Youth Sports Association camp.
“I wanted to do something more to help promote baseball to young players,” John-son said. “We have the city recreational league and we have the more competitive level EYSA teams. But the seasons are short and I hope to get kids to love baseball and want to play more each summer. Another goal is to take baseball in the youth pro-gram to the high school baseball programs in Englewood.”
The drills focused on helping young players develop fundamental skills. For ex-ample, one of the batting stations included hitting a ball that was a fixed target before moving over to hit a tossed ball. Another batting station was a coach tossing Wiffle balls to the batters.
In the field, coaches hit grounders to players and gave instructions on proper fielding and throwing techniques.
Toby Harris took his turn fielding and throwing the ball.
“I like baseball but football is my fa-vorite sport,” the 10-year-old said. “I used to play in the outfield but now I am learn-ing to be a catcher. I like that because I am busy all the time.”
While he likes playing defense, he said his favorite part of playing baseball is swinging the bat.
“I like to hit the ball,” he said. “I can hit the ball pretty well sometimes. My best hit this year was when I hit a triple.”
His older brother Tyler is going to col-lege to play baseball and his sister Tori plays softball. Toby said his brother doesn’t help him a lot with his baseball skills but he
does play catch with him at times.While Harris was fielding grounders,
Larryssa Ward was taking her turn at the plate hitting Wiffle balls.
“Baseball is fun. I played on an EYSA team this year and I liked it,” she said. “I
started playing baseball because my grand-mother urged me to get involved in sports. I tried baseball and liked it.”
She, too, said her favorite part of playing baseball was taking her turns at bat.
“I like batting. I really like to hit the ball,”
the 11-year-old said. “It is fun when you hit the ball hard.”
She said her favorite position to play is center field. She said she is pretty quick and catches pretty well so she is pretty good playing the position.

Youth get chance to learn gridiron waysEnglewood players and coaches to conduct four-day football campBy Tom [email protected]
Tackling, blocking and other gridiron skills will be the focus of the annual Englewood Youth Sports Association summer youth foot-ball skills camp that will be held July 21-24 at the Pirates’ high school facilities.
The camp is for kids in grades K-8. Regis-tration is scheduled from 5:30 to 6 p.m. July 21 and can also be taken care of at www.en-glewoodysa.com. The nightly camp sessions will run from 6 until 8:30 p.m. each evening. Players should wear shorts, t-shirts and either sneakers or cleats. All players are encouraged to bring drinking water and parents are wel-come to stay and watch the camp sessions.
Players who had all EYSA football regis-tration fees paid prior to June 1, get to attend the camp free. The fee is $25 for other players who attend the camp.
Englewood High School players and coaches will be the instructors and this year, for the first time, the youth coaches will work with players. Youth coaches will not be in-structors for the players they will be coaching during the season, however.
Randy Penn, retired Englewood High School football coach, is organizing and over-seeing the camp.
“We’ll work on both offensive and defen-sive skills each day,” he said. “But we want the camp to be fun too so we’ll probably have 7-on-7 play the last 30 minutes of each day’s sessions.”
Penn said the campers will be divided into four age groups: kindergarten through second-graders; third- and fourth-graders; fifth- and sixth-graders; and seventh- and eighth-graders.
“We’ll have the players going through age-appropriate drills each day,” Penn said. “Each session will be designed to help the young athletes learn proper football skill techniques.”
Penn noted there have been instruction sessions for the youth coaches about once a month since February.
“There are a lot of requirements for coach-es these days and we held the instruction ses-sions to help our coaches meet those require-ments,” he said. “For example, there has been a lot of emphasis on teaching proper tackling techniques as well as a lot of emphasis on recognition of a player who receives a con-cussion and what to do if that happens. Our sessions have included instruction in those areas.”
EYSA football teams play in the Jeffco Midget Football Association and the asso-ciation requires not only coaches, but team moms too, to receive training and be certi-fied to deal with concussions and in first aid. Penn said the training sessions help the EYSA coaches and team moms receive the league-required certifications.
The EYSA is an all-volunteer organization that organizes teams and competition for
young athletes in a number of sports.The association was born in 1985 when a
group of residents didn’t want to see tackle football disappear from Englewood when the Englewood Parks and Recreation Depart-ment decided to replace the tackle football with a flag football program.
Residents stepped forward to set up what was then called the Englewood Youth Foot-ball Association. The program got an initial boost when the parks and recreation depart-ment donated all the tackle football equip-ment to the association.
Volunteer coaches were quickly lined up, players were signed up and that year, for the first time, an Englewood Youth Football Asso-ciation teams took the field.
Volunteers soon realized there was a need for competitive teams in several sports and the organization changed its name to the Englewood Youth Sports Association. Cur-rently, the EYSA has teams that compete in volleyball, boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball and football for first- through eighth-graders.
T.J. Harris, right, tells the players the drills he will be conducting during a previous year’s youth football camp. Harris, an assistant Englewood High School football coach, will again join other coaches to work with young athletes during the Englewood Youth Sports Association 2014 football camp, July 21-24 at the high school �eld.

Enders-Stevens is woman to beatDrag racer leading the way in 2014 in her �rst season with Elite crowdBy Jim [email protected]
Erica Enders-Stevens, the Mellow Yello Pro Stock points leader, is ready for the challenge facing her at Bandimere Speedway.
Enders-Stevens’ first campaign with Elite Motorsports has been a dream season heading into the July 18-20 Mopar Mile High Nationals at the Morrison drag racing facility.
However, racing at Bandimere will present a couple new tests for the 30-year-old Houston native who now resides in New Orleans.
“It is a challenge to race at altitude,” said Enders-Stevens. “Everything is different in our class, Pro Stock. You have to change everything to be able to run at high altitude and then from the driving aspect, the racing happens differently. The clutch is incredibly easy to push, we run a little bit slower times in mile per hour and the shift lights come at different incre-ments. It’s challenging because it is different.”
The second challenge Enders-Stevens will have to over-come is her friend Allen Johnson.
Enders-Stevens, the most successful female driver in Pro Stock history, has garnered 1,116 points in 13 races this sea-son and has a 241-point lead over the second-place Johnson with five races remaining before the six-race Countdown to the championship.
Johnson has been dominating at Bandimere, while driving his Mopar Dodge. The 2012 Pro Stock World Champion has won five of the past six races there and is the track’s two-time defending Pro Stock champion.
“AJ is definitely king of the mountain,” admitted Enders-Stevens. “His team and Mark Ingersoll, his crew chief, have really got it figured out. AJ is a great friend of mine. He was a groomsman at our wedding and his wife was one of my brides-maids.
“We’re very close. If we can’t win, I’d certainly love for them to win. We joke with them all the time, `what’s the point of us even going to Denver, you’re going to win anyway.’ We are cer-tainly going to do our best to try to knock him off the top but at the same time what they have done up there is pretty incred-ible.”
Johnson, the 2012 Pro Stock World champion, came right to the point when asked about Enders-Stevens’ success this season.
“She has been kicking our butts,” he said. “They’ve got a good team and she’s a great driver. She will be the driver to contend with at Bandimere. Hopefully we can continue to run well at Bandimere, but each year everybody seems to get a little closer.”
Enders-Stevens is not a stranger to Bandimere’s quarter-mile drag strip — known on the National Hot Rod Association circuit as Thunder Mountain.
“I’ve raced at Bandimere since I drove junior dragsters,” she said. “I believe 1997 or ‘98 was the first year I was there and I’ve been going there ever since. I think so highly of the Bandimere family. What they have done for our sport is pretty incredible. The facility is state of the art, the hospitality is wonderful and I look forward to coming back every year.”
Enders-Stevens will be coming back this July as one of the top drivers in the competitive Pro Stock division.

She has won four events this year and has qualified first or second in 12 of the 13 races leading up to Bandimere. She now has 10 career NHRA pro career victories, joining Angelle Sampey (41 in Pro Stock Motorcycle) and Shirley Muldowney (18 in Top Fuel) as the only women with double-digit pro na-tional event wins.
“Every girl racer out there just wants to be looked at as a driver and not as anything different,” Enders-Stevens said. “There are not very many of us but I always joke that the car doesn’t know the difference if a man or a women is driving it. When the helmet goes on, I just think everything is equal and we’re all there to rip each other’s throats out.”
Enders-Stevens has been driving like a champion in her first season with Elite Mo-torsport’s single-car team. She drove for Vic-tor Cagnazzi for a majority of her professional career before moving to Elite.
“When I moved to Elite Motorsports at the end of last year, it was a big change,” said
Enders-Stevens. “I knew immediately that I had made the right decision. The most im-portant piece of the puzzle is definitely peo-ple. I’ve got a tremendous team and they have my back, they are encouraging and they are awesome. They work their tails off. We have a lot of great team chemistry. That’s a huge part of our success.”
“Horsepower certainly doesn’t hurt. Nick Ferri and Jake Hairston who head up our en-gine shop have given us really awesome en-gines. My crew chiefs Rick and Rickie Jones are also my chassis builders. They have the car just running awesome. There are a lot of things that go into it. Everything just feels like it has come together.”
Enders-Stevens has twice driven her Chevy-powered red Camaro to national elapsed time and speed records this season.
“It’s been an incredible year so far,” she said. “If you would have told me where I would be at this point of the season I would have said I hope so but I have to pinch myself. It’s surreal. I’m at a loss for words about the season we have had.”
Enders-Stevens will be one of the drivers to watch at Bandimere along with Johnson, Top Fuel points leader Doug Kalitta, Funny
Car frontrunner Robert Hight and Andrew Hines who tops the points in Pro Stock Mo-torcycle. Hines, a 3-time world champion, is a graduate of Trinidad High School.
Defending champions Spencer Massey (Top Fuel), Cruz Pedregon (Funny Car) and
Shawn Gann (Pro Stock Motorcycle) are other entrants for fans to follow.
The annual Mopar Block Party in Golden will be from 6-8 p.m. July 17 in Golden and racing begins July 18 with sportsman and profession qualifying sessions.

SPORTS ROUNDUPKent scores playo� win
Cody Kent needed an extra hole but won the Colorado Golf Association Match Play Championship July 11 at The Heritage at Westmoor in Westminster.
Kent, the 22-year-old former Douglas County golfer playing out of the Country Club at Castle Pines, defeated Jacob Al-lenbach of Walking Stick Golf Course with a par putt on the first extra hole, the 37th of the match.
With four holes to play, Kent led by two but Allenbach rallied and the sixth lead change of the match put him ahead head-ing into the 36th hole.
However, Allenbach bogeyed the final regulation hole, which allowed Kent, a senior golfer at the University of Tulsa, to force the playoff with a par.
Highlands Ranch golfer aces tourneySydney Gillespie of Highlands Ranch
placed first in the 36-hole girls division of the Colorado Trusted Choice Big “I” qualifying golf tournament June 26 and 27
at Boomerang Links and Hyland Hills in Greeley.
The top two finishers in the boys and girls divisions qualified to play in the Big I National Championship Aug. 5-8 at Pete Dye Club in Bridgeport, WV.
Gillespie carded a 152 two-day total while Alan Berry of Littleton was second in the boys division with a 144 total.
Tennis champ leaves ArapahoeArapahoe sophomore Tate Schroeder,
the Class 5A No. 1 singles champion, won’t repeat her title next season. Schroeder will play for the next two years at the IMG Academy Bollettieri Tennis program in Bradenton, Fla. IMG is a private athletic and academic institute for athletes.
Creek gets new coachCherry Creek’s consolidated hockey
team has hired Brent Tollar as an assistant hockey coach. Tollar was head coach at Steamboat Springs last season.
Erica Enders-Stevens’ Camaro will most likely be one of the fastest cars on the track July 18-20 at Bandimere Speed-way in Morrison. Enders-Stevens is the current points leader in the NHRA pro-stock drag-racing circuit.Courtesy photo

SALOME’S STARSFOR THE WEEK OF JULY 14, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) Your Aries leadership qualities can help bring order out of all that confusion, whether it’s on the job or in the home. But be careful to guide, not goad, others into following you.
TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Applying a more per-sonal view to a job-linked issue could help provide better insight into those persistent problems. Use your keen Taurean logic to cut through the double-talk.
GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Taking some time off could be the best way to get through that seemingly endless round of demands. You’ll return refreshed and ready to tackle things from a new perspective.
CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Restoring a sagging professional relationship takes a lot of effort. By all means, state your position. But also make sure you pay close attention to the other person’s point of view.
LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) A hot prospect intrigues the Big Cat, who is always on the prowl for a promising investment. But be careful that this “promise” has a chance of being kept. Check it out more carefully.
VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) A friend could use some of your compassion and concern. If he or she doesn’t ask for help, be sure you step up and make the first move. Also, check out a new career possibility.
LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) You might have difficulty getting your opinions heard because of all the noise being made by the other side. But hang in there. Oth-ers should line up with you once they learn the facts.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Offering to help a col-league is commendable. But before you commit your time and effort, check to see if that person’s situation is all that he or she has led you to believe it is.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) You soon should be seeing positive results from your recent efforts on behalf of a family member. On another matter, check that you have all the facts regarding a job assignment.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Your aspects favor closer family relationships this week. Take time for vis-its, whether in person, by phone, by mail or in cyber-space. Let them know how important they are to you.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) A missed opportunity isn’t always a negative. Maybe your instincts are tell-ing you not to rush into something you “thought” was worthwhile. Make time for family this weekend.
PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) Your sense of humor helps you get through a tricky situation. But some stick-in-the-muds might not be so willing to make the changes that you and others agree are necessary.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making everyone you know -- or even just met -- feel impor-tant and welcome in your life.

Littleton has a cow (e-i-e-i-o)Old MacDonald to visit this year’s Turkey Leg and Wine HoedownBy Jennifer [email protected]
Once upon a time, Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, (affectionately known as the HooDLuMs), heard some complaints that people who like “turkey-leg events” might not be the best clientele to attract to downtown Littleton.
He thought it was hilarious, and the Turkey Leg and Wine Hoedown was born. It returns this weekend.
The big news this year is an appearance by Old MacDonald (Dagnabbit!) from the Geico com-mercials, otherwise known as actor
Larrs Jackson, and it’s no wonder a man of such great notoriety will be attendance.
It’s an event fit for the most dis-criminating of country folk, com-plete with wine (Manischewitz) and cheese (whiz) tastings, fine bev-erages (Schlitz, PBR and Fat Tire, to name a few), delectable meats (smoked and Louisiana deep-fried turkey legs) and other delicacies (pecan pie on a stick), many pre-pared by Granny Ma’s Catering.
Of course, such an elegant occa-sion calls for a grand (hamster) ball with (square) dancing, so profes-sional callers will be on hand on the east side of the building.
Even those without an ounce of hillbilly in them will enjoy the re-fined live (rockabilly) music, with a professional orchestra (Dixie Lead-foot and the Struts) performing both evenings.
HDLM knows that everyone
needs to stay in shape. From (tur-key) bowling to (paddle) boating to (gold)fishing in the (lazy)river, there are lots of things to do in the great (parking lot) outdoors.
The $3 cover charge includes all the entertainment you can stand, with food and beverages on sale separately.
Reinke says suggested attire is Daisy Dukes for the ladies and bib overalls with no shirt for the guys, and everyone who arrives in character gets $1 off admission. The general store will be open in case you run out of chewin’ grass or corncob pipes, as will Reinke’s Haunted House.
“It’s good food, good music, good times,” he said.
The event is 6-11 p.m. July 18 and 19 in the Reinke Bros. parking lot, 5665 S. Prince St. For more in-formation, contact 303-795-5006 or [email protected].
