  • Hickenlooper wins race for governor

    In the highly controversial race for governor, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper defeated former congressman Tom Tancredo 51 percent to 37 percent, with Dan Maes pulling 11 percent.
    When underdog Maes pulled off an unexpected victory over Scott McInnis in the Republican primary in August, it seemed like he was headed to the top on a wave of pro-business, anti-Obama, down-on-health-care enthusiasm.
    But negative newspaper stories about campaign-finance violations, amateurish handling of funds, resume questions and lack of financial wherewithal undermined his credibility.

  • Brits show the way on spending

    Recently, a coalition government in the United Kingdom made its long-anticipated announcement about $128 billion in government spending cuts. It’s aggressive and audacious — and certainly more ambitious than anything being done on this side of the pond.

  • Controlled burn sends up smoke at C470 and U.S. 285

    A controlled burn of about 200 acres of grassland began Thursday at Bear Creek Lake Park, resulting in brownish gray smoke plumes near C-470 and U.S. 285.

    West Metro Fire initiated the burn as a prevention measure, though other benefits result from the small controlled fires, a district spokeswoman said.

    “That area hasn’t had a prescribed burn for seven years,” said spokeswoman Micki Trost, explaining that another targeted section of the park hadn’t seen a controlled fire for 12 years. “It reduces the fuel load in the area.”

  • Chargers serve notice vs. Rebels

    Stephanie Lillo will defer the credit to Tarah Sponenberg, Chatfield’s junior varsity head coach and assistant varsity coach. But make no bones about it, the Chargers senior certainly was in a rhythm with her service game.

    Lillo was serving when Chatfield ran off 10 straight points in the second set and again in the third during a 7-0 run as the visiting Chargers posted a 25-18, 25-17, 25-17 win over host Columbine on Oct. 21.

  • Warriors weather Rebels’ second-half storm

    It’s not like Matt Marchena didn’t try to put the ball in the back of the net. One shot just missed the lower left corner minutes into the second half. Fifteen minutes later, the junior forward’s shot ricocheted off the crossbar and back out.

    Columbine was that close.

    But while the Rebels couldn’t punch home a goal visiting Arapahoe did. The Warriors scored a soft tally in the first half and added a pair of Matt Korsick goals in the final 40 minutes for a 3-0 win Oct. 21 at Columbine High School.
