2013 Man &Woman of theYear David & Bonnie Mandarich By Glory Weisberg David and Bonnie Mandarich are The Villager’s 2013 Man and Woman of the Year. The Cherry Hills Village couple is a staple of support for a wide range of nonprofits, sharing their time, talent and funds for the betterment of the community for years. They are members of the Charles C. Gates Society with the Children’s Hospital Foundation, supporting the University of Colorado Medical Center, National Jewish Health and Cancer League of Colorado, among other agencies. David is a Whittier College trustee and he sits on the National Advisory Board of the University of Colorado Real Estate Center. David is a native Coloradan and a decorated Vietnam veteran. He joined MDC Holdings more than 30 years ago. In 1999, he was elected the firm’s chief operating officer. That was a very good year for David, as that was when the MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation was formed, of which he is president. With his guidance, the foundation is helping nonprofits far beyond Colorado. Bonnie was born in Wisconsin and came to Denver in 1979. When she and David married in 2001, she began to focus on the oil, gas and real estate industries. Her wide range of volunteer activities includes serving on the board of the Colorado Neurological Institute, the Volunteers of America, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the Denver Hospice. She is an ambassador to the Beaux Arts Ball that supports the National Jewish Health Cancer Research effort. She is now co-chairing the March 7 Excelsior Youth Center benefit, Triumphant Faces Gala. The blended Mandarich family includes Christopher, Michael and John David Mandarich. The nomination of David and Bonnie as Villagers of the Year for 2013 came from several sources, including Edie Marks, a 1986 Villager Woman of the Year, who said, “We at Cancer League value their continuing commitment and their hearts.” Gary Reece gave what is the most remarkable endorsement ever received for Villager’s of the Year: “This is provided as an endorsement of Bonnie and David Mandarich as Woman and Man of the Year. “I have known David for more than 25 years, and I have known Bonnie for approximately 15 years. I worked directly for David as chief financial officer of M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. for 20 years, from 1988 until my retirement from the company in 2008. Since that time, David and I have continued to be good friends, and earlier this year, I began working with David again, this time on a different level, as an independent director on the Board of Directors for M.D.C. Holdings, Inc. “Throughout my 20 years working with David, I have known him to be extremely generous, personally providing financial support to numerous charitable organizations and educational institutions, including a particular emphasis on Children’s Hospital, as well as his Alma Mater, the University of Colorado. In addition, he has spent countless hours of his personal time counseling individuals, from young people to established professionals, on his knowledge and experience in business, as well as opportunities that might advance their own careers. Because David practically ‘knows everyone,’ he also has been generous in making introductions and sharing contact information with individuals who might benefit, educationally or in their careers, from the support of other influential persons in the community. “Since my retirement in 2008, my appreciation for the generosity of Bonnie and David Mandarich has grown, as I have seen them both give of their time, talents and financial resources on many occasions. Bonnie and David have jointly, and in some cases individually, chaired a number of charitable fundraising events, and they have continued to give generously to charitable organizations. I have experienced their generosity directly in recent years, as my wife Barbara and I are very involved in the leadership of two Colorado-based charities that have received some very large donations from the Mandarichs on a consistent basis each year. “In addition to their personal gifts, David also serves on the Board of the MDC/Richmond American Homes Foundation, an organization that supports countless charities in Colorado and throughout the United States. This is an organization that rarely, if ever, turns a deaf ear to a worthy cause, largely due to the generosity of its leadership, David Mandarich and Larry Mizel. “Based on my experience through my close, personal relationship with Bonnie and David Mandarich, I strongly endorse the two of them as Woman and Man of the Year.” Congratulations David and Bonnie!

Sheriff updates community on Arapahoe shooting Murderer entered school through an unsecured door By Tom Barry Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson called a press conference on Dec. 30 to convey the latest developments in the murder of Claire Davis at Arapahoe High School last month. It began with a moment of silence. “We are involved in a very complex and detailed investigation,” said Robinson, noting he was limited on what he could discuss in the ongoing investigation. “Our investigation will be done properly and it will be done right. It will not necessarily be done quick.” The sheriff did offer some new details, however. “The second round was fired directly at Claire Davis, a round that proved to be fatal,” he said. The gunman fired the first shot in the hallway and then fired two in the library. The shooter’s fifth round was used to commit suicide.

Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon addresses a press conference Dec. 30 at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. Robinson poignantly emphasized the word “murder” throughout the conference and stressed Davis’s enduring importance to the community. “There are certain people in your life that leave an impact on you and Claire has left an impact on my life and on the lives of this community …” the sheriff said.

An unsecured door

The most revealing new element presented at the conference was the fact that the shooter entered the school on the north side of the building, which was not secured at the time. “We know that the doorway on the north side that the murderer entered is supposed to be locked,” Robinson said. “Unfortunately, it rarely is because it is more convenient for people to come and go from that area and not have to be obstructed by a locked door.” Even so, Robinson said the shooter was hell bent on creating maximum damage to a maximum number of people and that he would have gained access to the school any way he could. “From the time the murderer entered the school until his body was lying on the floor of the library was less than one minute and 20 seconds,” the sheriff said. A janitor initiated a school lockdown upon seeing the gunman enter the building. Students, faculty and staff then went into designated classrooms and locked the door and covered the

windows, hiding against walls as they had practiced during an active-shooter scenario drill in October. “The fact that the lockdown protocols were implemented as quickly as they were is absolutely a critical element to the fact that we do not have additional injury or death in this situation,” Robinson said. School Resource Officer James Englert, an armed Arapahoe County deputy sheriff, “ran toward the thunder,” along with an unarmed school security guard Rod Mauler, a former sheriff’s deputy. Because the two rushed down the hall to the library while making sure students were getting into their classrooms, Robinson said he is confident the gunman heard them advancing and took his own life. The sheriff said Englert and Mauler are heroes. Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon said such school-resource officers have been a priority of the City of Centennial for many years.

“[Such in-school deputies] have proven to be of utmost importance in this case and will certainly be a focus moving forward,” she said. “… Our hearts go out to the Davis family. Their loss has profoundly touched our community. … On Dec. 13, those families came together in a big way to support our community and to provide Arapahoe High School and each other comfort, support and safety. In the days since, we have continued that support.” Noon thanked the sheriff, his department “and the many neighboring first-responders who handled the situation quickly and professionally.” School will resume Jan. 6, and Englert will return to his assigned post at the school. Undersheriff David Walcher said he would continue the meticulous investigation and that the department would undergo a third-party review of the elements involving the shooting investigation.

Hospital collects cards for Davis family

By Tom Barry ittleton Adventist Hospital has provided the community a location to drop off cards for the family of Arapahoe High School shooting victim Claire Davis. Classmates, friends, students, metro residents, church congregations and others from across the country have sent their personal sentiments to a box at the main entrance of the hospital The community has been offering handmade and crayon-colored cards, banners, notes of encour-

agement and prayers since Davis was in the hospital in a coma. The hospital staff had been passing along the personal cards and letters to the family members who held a constant vigil at her side. Someone even dropped off a small stuffed animal that resembled Davis’s horse. The stuffed animal remains on the reception desk adjacent the card box. “For a large community, it feels like a small town feeling,” said Courtney Tanning, a hospital spokeswoman. “Everyone is in it together. All the schools surround-

ing Arapahoe High have been very compassionate.” As of last week, the hospital had amassed more than 500 items. “We’ll continue to collect the cards, notes and posters as long as they continue to come in,” Tanning said. Littleton Adventist Hospital is located at 7700 S. Broadway Littleton, CO, 80122. Cards should be addressed to the Claire Davis family. People wishing to drop off their personal notes and cards can park briefly at the hospital’s main entrance.

DU professor helps trauma victims recover Mom of Columbine survivor practices what she teaches

By Peter Jones When Carolyn Lunsford Mears says she understands what the families of survivors of the Arapahoe High School shootings are going through, the University of Denver professor is not just speaking in detached academic terms. After her 15-year-old son survived the Columbine High School shootings in 1999, Mears wanted to learn more. She enrolled at DU to conduct dissertation research that could help others who have faced tragedy and trauma. In years since, the author of Reclaiming School in the Aftermath of Trauma: Advice Based on Experience has presented to audiences around the world on such subjects as leadership during crisis, trauma response, and recovery. She is cofounder of the Columbine-Sandy Hook Cooperative, The Villager recently asked Mears, a volunteer crisis consultant, for her thoughts as the local community continues to reel from the loss of Claire Davis, the 17-yearold Arapahoe High shooting victim who died Dec. 21. Villager: You came to your academic specialty in a very unusual way. Mears: I was doing work with schools. I would write grants and get funding related to professional development for teachers and collaborative projects. That’s what I was doing at the time of the Columbine shootings. I had no intention, nor need of a doctorate. When the shootings happened, it was really clear that those of us inside of the tragedy were experiencing things that people outside didn’t understand because they’d never lived it. A dear friend of mine and I would walk around Clement Park Lake and we would find ourselves saying, “People don’t get it.” One afternoon, I stopped in the middle of a path and said, “Well, if they don’t get it, it’s because nobody told them.” It just seemed like it was an opportunity to learn things from the inside that outside researchers

wouldn’t have access to. If I had been an outside researcher, I would not have heard the candor. People would not have had that trust in me that they did with me not only being a longtime member of the community, but also having lived it myself. Villager: Describe your family’s experience with the Columbine shootings. Mears: My husband and I were at Leewood Elementary with all the other moms and dads. My son was locked down with about 18 others for three hours in a very small confined place. A lot of the shooting that happened in the school was actually the police clearing area. So the kids, teachers, custodians, cafeteria ladies and all those folks who were locked in those rooms trying to be quiet and invisible had no way of knowing that the shooters were dead. In a life-threatening situation, all sense of time is distorted. Everything seems to move in slow motion. All senses are hyper-vigilant. Basically what happens is the world you think you lived in is shattered. There is no way I ever would have imagined that Columbine High School would have become a scene of such carnage, and yet it did. That’s what you deal with in the aftermath is trying to rebuild a worldview. Villager: How would you summarize what you do for people? Mears: I’ll learn from the stories of other people about what helped them recover from a tragic event, whether it’s a school shooting or the terrorist attack on the World Trade

Center or Hurricane Katrina. I’ll share what their advice is with others. In large part, it’s public awareness about what trauma is and what needs are generated. I’ve put this together with a family from Sandy Hook who actually lives here in Colorado. We understand each other. We became good friends. We’ve started a foundation, which is specifically around learning from tragedies in ways that help others with readiness, education, working with police departments, medical units, teachers and policymakers. Villager: Based on your experiences, what do you think the Arapahoe High School community needs at this point? Mears: After Columbine, there was a mom who came from Paducah, Ky., where there had been another shooting and it helped so much just to be around somebody that had lived that experience. It feels so foreign and so bizarre that you never think you’re ever going to be normal again. I think it helps to know that this is normal. What you’re going through is part of this process. Your brain is trying to comprehend what is really going on. Everyone has a different way of processing and different needs at different times. That’s one of the lessons we can learn. It’s not a straight line to recovery. One of the big things for me was people from the outside who would want to help with conventional wisdom like “Well just don’t think about it” or “Get back on the horse.” Those don’t work in times of trauma. Villager: Trauma victims helping each other is not unusual. What is unusual about your story is that you attained a degree and became an academic to do it. Mears: I’ll tell you why I did it that way. I knew that as a Columbine mom I could gain all of the stories and all of the insight and other parents might listen to me. But academics, educators, policymakers would not listen to me in the same way unless I had a Ph.D. So I set out to achieve the credibility that would allow me enter into the corridors of power, the people who make decisions about policy, people who know the concept of what needs to happen. It’s understanding the “why” of it.

By Peter Jones Arapahoe County’s Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved a $338 million budget that officials have touted as a structurally balanced protection of core county services. Because county revenue from property taxes has been flat, Commissioner Rod Bockenfeld, R-Centennial, says the board worked to guarantee that the county’s essential service levels were protected before officials sorted through the other aspects of the government budget. “We make sure we’re structurally balanced and we make sure we don’t impact constituent services, and then everything else falls in line and is open for negotiation,” he said. Bockenfeld, who serves as the board chair, says the 2014

county budget, which received final approval on Dec. 10, was balanced in part through voluntary reductions by elected officials and county departments and through efficiency measures created by Align Arapahoe, a performance framework that Bockenfeld says was designed to ensure optimal performance at a minimal cost. “Those things help create the efficiencies on the expenditure side,” he said. “Align Arapahoe ends up being a tool in trying to manage expenses so that we’re not cutting into the bone.” The resulting budget sets aside $10.6 million for capital projects, including $3.1 million for roadway and infrastructure projects, $1.3 million for renovations to the Altura Plaza facility in Aurora, $2.3 million for improvements to Lima Plaza in Centennial, and $890,000 to construct an additional courtroom at the Arapahoe County Justice Center.

I have been pondering for weeks Monika Bromley’s Nov. 21, 2013, letter to the editor where she thanks “all who voted for her.” There was something in the tone of her letter that kept bothering me. While her thanks are appropriate, the bulk of her letter seems to be a somewhat bitter indictment of people heavily involved in local government and her loss of the election. I am really confused over the part of her letter that says she surrounds herself with good people and she was “…doing all of this for you. It was about you and what you wanted. You wanted to be treated with respect and honesty, and you were not getting it. I am sorry to have let you down.” This sounds like some sort of “Joan of Arc” syndrome and reminds me of a Sunday Sermon I heard many years ago that actually stuck with me. The crux of the sermon was that rather than praying to win the lottery so one could give to help others, one should pray for those in need to win the lottery directly. It was presumptuous to think one should be a middleman or need to control the giving process. When I did my voter due diligence this last election, I determined Ms. Bromley is what I call a low information candidate. Her early statement that Centennial ought not turn in to another Aurora probably reflects the view of quite a few Centennial residents. But, it was untactful and I am sure would have presented problems should she have won the election and had to deal with Aurora’s elected officials over cross community projects and needs. (Like the joint funding of Arapahoe Road widening next to her neighborhood.) I could not find her position on any of the nuts and bolts issues the city faces and many of those have existed since the city was incorporated. Of particular interest to me are the several authorities with appointed boards and minimal oversight that operate and regulate within the city. Ms. Bromley had no stated position on any

of these and I doubt she even knew they existed. I for one did not view Ms. Bromley as a serious candidate. At some point, she may become versed on city issues, but as of the election I don’t think she knew much about how governments work let alone anything about specific issues impacting the city. Her intent to attend a few meetings might provide some basic knowledge, but it would be far better to actually work on some of the city’s advisory groups or commissions to prepare her for elected office. A process taken by most of the city’s elected officials. Bob Fetters Centennial

Tax code

I read that Congress is again preparing to tinker with the nation’s tax code. That means taxes could increase for some, if not all businesses, and the impact would likely be hard on our economy. Any talk of tax reform includes the closing of so-called “loopholes,” which are, in fact, legitimate deductions that ensure American energy companies can attract investment and compete globally. In Colorado, where oil and natural gas development is an increasingly larger part of our economy, that could zap investment and slow revenue-generating energy operations. I’m not opposed to making our tax system simpler and fairer so let’s not single out energy companies for higher taxes when they infuse millions of their own profits into new projects, expanded operations and more jobs. Tax reform that punishes growth and job creation is not my kind of reform. Michelle Draznin Greenwood Village

New direction for Englewood charter school

The Founding Board for the K-5 Charter School making application to open a Charter School for an opening in August 2015 will be submitting an application to the Englewood

government positions will be split between a new assessment program in the county jail and the popular open-space program. In total, the budget will fund nearly 2,000 employees and incorporates an average 2 percent salary increase, which will fluctuate based on merit. The increasing cost of health insurance will be shared with employees. The mill levy for 2014 will be 16.13, a figure that was designed to fall within the revenue limitations imposed by the Colorado Constitution’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. “We kind of feel that some of the most difficult challenges since the economic downturn in 2008 have kind of passed and we’re on a little bit of an economic upswing,” Bockenfeld said, “I think a lot of other government communities would feel more pain than we would if there was another recession.” A copy of the budget is available under county news at www. arapahoegov.com.

School Board this August. Carlton Academy will undergo some pretty significant changes before submitting their final application. The estimated opening is August 2015. A significant and exciting change is that the Founding board has brought on some highly qualified charter school experts to ensure a successful Charter Application. Joining Mary Zachariah President and Theresa Martens the Vice President, is City Councilman Rick Gillit and Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Doty. These two new members bring budgeting and organizational skills to this charter endeavor as well as their understanding of the city’s history and educational values. Also joining is Meghann Silverthorn, a Douglas County School Board member who brings her knowledge of public and charter school systems to the table. Marisela Rubio will continue to work as the Outreach Director and the Charter Liaison to the Englewood School’s District Accountability Committee. Doug Hering, a CPA, has been hired to work on the budget, and Charter School Solutions is volunteering their consulting services as state level chartering professionals. If approved, Englewood’s new Charter School will be under the purview of the Englewood School Board. Charter schools do not charge tuition. They receive the same funding per pupil as other public schools. Also, the proposed Charter School curriculum is “Core Knowledge” based. The Charter Founding Board will also be announcing the new school name, logo, and website soon. Come and be a part of Carlton Academy’s new venture to reach Englewood with its first-ever tuition free and public charter school to help raise the academic proficiency of students across the Englewood School District.

Centennial debuts public works center Campus will also house animal and code control

By Peter Jones Centennial is again showing the community how the public works. Five years after signing what has been called the largest public-private partnership contract of its kind with CH2M Hill, the city has officially opened its first full-fledged public works headquarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we were 30 days into delivering public works before this issue of, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gosh, we need more spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; [came up],â&#x20AC;? said David Mortensen, CH2M Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of technical services. On Dec. 19, Centennial debuted the renovated 9.2-acre Eagle Street Facility, just three months after kicking off $2.8 million in renovations and paying $2.75 million in cash for the abandoned former lumberyard. In addition to housing CH2M Hill and public works subcontractors, the two-building campus is the new center for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Animal Services and Code Compliance departments, a 24-hour call-in Citizen Response Center, and Centennialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high-tech Traffic Operations Center, which allows officials to monitor and adjust city traffic signals in real time. The main building also boasts the 12-year-old cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first community meeting space, In short, the facility, located at 7272 S. Eagle St. off Jordan Road, is home to city functions that have outgrown the Centennial Civic Center on Arapahoe Road, with a particular emphasis on the more technical ends of municipal services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything we identified on our wish list â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we found a way to get it done,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Cathy Noon said at the official grand opening on Dec. 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really what we do here in Centennial is we try to get it done.â&#x20AC;?

asked for and more. Even when it was impossible, you somehow still did it within our budget,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saunders, we know if you can put up an IKEA, you can handle our renovation.â&#x20AC;?

Creating the new Eagle Street Facility out an abandoned lumberyard in a matter of months was a piece of cake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even when it was impossible, you somehow still did it within our budget,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Cathy Noon told construction staff. The property includes a 14,550-square-foot office building, a 12,500-square-foot maintenance facility, 15,000 square feet of covered bays for vehicles, and a 5.5acre storage yard. Lost dogs will be held in a heated holding area manned by the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. The Eagle Street Facility will soon have a

5,000-ton salt-storage dome for use during snowstorms. During the renovations, 289 tons of asphalt and 101 tons of concrete were demolished and removed, 600 cubic yards of new concrete was used, and 2,580 cubic yards of engineered fill soil were brought on site to support structures.

Cherry Hills Village weighs moving Public Works facility

By Jan Wondra Anyone who lives in Cherry Hills Village knows that land, and space, for commercial or maintenance activities in this quiet, rural-residential city is at a premium. While roads need to be plowed, equipment needs to be repaired and construction goes on, the question has been asked, “Where is the best place to do that?” Over the past several months, the city has asked residents where they think the Public Works facility should be located. The options were discussed in a study session at an Oct. 24 stakeholder meeting held at St. Mary’s Academy. The topic will come up again during the city’s public hearing on open space planning during the Jan. 7 Cherry Hills City Council meeting. Currently, the Public Works facility is housed at 2450 E. Quincy Ave. This hub of activity, off the intersection of Quincy and University, includes City Hall, Public Works, and across the street, the new Joint Public Safety Facility, which houses the

Cherry Hills Police Department and South Metro Fire. The trucks and road equipment, maintenance buildings, gravel and sand, now abuts space that is increasingly public and recreational in nature, including the new community room at the JPSF, the new Alan Hutto Open Space and to the west, John Meade Park. The questions asked by many, including city staff and members of City Council, “Is this the best use of this space? Does it serve the needs of the Village? Should we shift our operations functions elsewhere to enhance the beauty of this central area of the Village?” In August, the city hired Norris Design to work with the city to complete a citizen survey, asking residents where they thought the Public Works operation should be located. One hundred eighty-nine residents responded to the survey, an 8 percent response, which is considered a good response for a non-headline topic in an upscale community. Most expressed satisfaction with the current environment, and 71 percent

said they didn’t want to pay for higher operating costs to relocate the facility. A majority worried if Public Works was moved, that they might experience longer Public Works response times from a relocated facility. Norris Design also worked with city staff to identify possible site locations. “We need an 11,000 square foot building to accommodate the functions of Public Works, or roughly a little over 2.4 acres,” said Jay Goldie, deputy city manager. “And, of course, space for our road maintenance vehicles and necessary equipment.” Norris Design identified 21 potential sites for relocation, including sites with commercial buildings, sites that are land only and sites with buildings newer than 1966. The sites are in Cherry Hills Village, on the edges of the Village and even in the city of Englewood. Included in the assessment, a triangle of land at the corner of Jefferson and Hampden, which is already owned by Cherry Hills Village. “This location,” said Goldie,

“has about 5,700 square feet of buildable area on it. This is due because it is adjacent to Englewood and has Englewood building setback requirements on the location. Another location, at the corner of 3600 S. Clarkson St., is the St. George’s Church site (also the former site of the Dragon’s Den). Although it sits within a flood plane and a flood way, the church has put a price tag on the space of $3 million. “We’ve put out feelers to Denver Water, too. To see if we might be able to share some storage areas with them for things like equipment and materials.” In considering any relocation of the Public Works operations, the city returned to the Cherry Hills Village Master Plan, developed in 2000, amended in September 2008. It was informed by and crafted with the benefit of the insights contained in the Blue Ribbon Panel Report (June 2005) and the report of the Citizens Committee on the City Center (October 2007). That plan suggested a “ring road” which would close off Meade

Lane toward John Meade Park, which receives federal trust funds and is managed by the Colorado State Park System. The Master Plan envisions the area around City Hall to become more of a gathering place, a natural space focused on people and community, not commerce or operational activity. “We’re trying to listen to what our citizens want,” said Mayor Doug Tisdale. “At the same time we do need to consider what our city Master Plan envisions as well. We need to ask ourselves, ‘are we following the vision? Are we taking this city to the next step?’ Excellent service to our citizens remains the benchmark for any relocation of the Public Works facility and Villagers can rest assured that this process is undertaken in a thoughtful and considered manner.” The open space vision for Cherry Hills Village will be the primary topic of a public hearing Jan. 7. Those wishing to express an opinion should sign up to speak on the public hearing signup sheet at City Hall.

An artist left a portrait of Claire Davis at her temporary memorial.

Two friends of Claire Davis, recent graduates of Arapahoe High School, reinforce posters and cards to the temporary memorial in anticipation of high winds and snow.

A Christmas stocking with Claire’s name is filled with flowers at the temporary memorial.

A visit to the temporary memorial for Claire Davis By Tom Barry A makeshift living memorial has been evolving at Arapahoe High School since Dec. 13. Initially, cups spelling “Pray 4 Claire” were placed in the fence. Then, students began affixing large signed posters. Individuals and small groups of students then began to leave flowers and adorned the fence with Arapahoe’s colors of black and old gold. Rosary beads speckled the fence, some attached to handmade crosses. Colorful teddy bears were placed throughout the evolving living memorial. Red and yellow roses and other flower bouquets were placed into the

fence or laid on the ground adjacent candles and vigil lights. A number of Claire’s friends from school and fellow equestrians along with alumni and community residents came to reflect at the site as traffic rushed by. High school students and families from throughout the Front Range have traveled to visit the memorial. Some quietly said prayers, while others reflected. Arapahoe’s girls basketball team decorated orange paper with a black marker to resemble a basketball. Each of the girls signed it with individual messages to Claire. Area high schools mounted

large posters and messages to the fence. During Christmastime, someone left a red stocking with white trim bearing Claire’s name in gold lettering. It was filled with colorful flowers and candy canes, ornaments and Christmas tree angels. Fellow equestrians and others left small replicas of horses. A number of young students left books and magazines about One Direction, Claire’s favorite musical group. A small student’s backpack was affixed with a photo of the group. An artist left a colorful portrait of Claire smiling.

After Claire’s death was announced, the monument continued to grow with even more messages, flowers, candles and other personal mementos. On Dec. 28, with the winds gearing up in advance of several inches of snow, two friends of Claire’s who graduated from Arapahoe last year were working to reinforce the posters and other items onto the fence. Some posters and yellow and black streamers could be seen blowing in the wind as the gusts picked up. The actual size of the memorial grew around three times its original size in the week after

Claire’s death. At the corner of Dry Creek and Franklin Street an additional memorial was started on and around a cornerstone sign bearing the school’s name and “Home of the Warriors,” donated by the Class of 1988. Small candle vases atop adorned the new makeshift northeast corner memorial, while flowers and assorted memorabilia lay in the dirt surrounded by fallen brown leaves. There was a public memorial for Claire on Jan. 1 at the National Western Stock Show. See the Jan. 9 issue for full coverage.

Littleton High School choirs harmonize for winter concert

M By Tom Barry

ore than 550 family members and students came to enjoy the beautiful annual winter concert recently at Littleton High School. The halls prior to the highly anticipated annual event were filled with the sound of music emanating from the golden voices of the Trubadours. The elite choir composed of 34 singers in the noteworthy performing arts program at Littleton split into two groups to entertain the attendees. The Manwich choral group, composed of young men wearing black and white formal attire, sang contemporary pieces in an a cappella style to begin the evening. “Everyone giggles the first time when they hear the name of the group,” said Director of Music Jim Farrell, as they came up with the unique and catchy Manwich name five years ago. The standing room only crowd immensely enjoyed the performance in The Mane Stage Theater. Yes, that is correct and not misspelled, as the comical Farrell helped name the theater after the school’s mascot, a lion, thus the word “mane.”

Littleton’s Music Director Jim Farrell applauds one of the performances of one of his choirs at the school’s winter concert. Students, staff and parents delivered more than 55 blankets and comforters to The Denver Recuse

Mission. Littleton’s newest choir called Chordially Yours, another distinc-

tively named choral group, sang a melody of pieces from Pitch Perfect, a relatively new movie about a college a cappella group. Later, this lively group or young women attired in colorful summer-like dresses livened up the crowed with their rendition of Shark in the Water, a new pop tune. The women’s select group called the Syrens harmonized some beautiful melodies for the special standing-room-only event. Littleton’s renowned 45-piece orchestra then took the stage at the culmination of the event to perform with 150 singers Nathan Black accompanied one of the vocal groups with his

music from his violin. “I was very proud of all of the choirs. It was rewarding to hear them sing so beautifully and show all of the great improvement that we were able to accomplish over the semester,” said Farrell. “It will be exciting to see where we can go second semester.” Littleton has 190 students in the program, which comprise seven choirs. Farrell, a Centennial resident with a master’s degree in music from the University of Northern Colorado, also teaches an Advanced Placement music class at the school. On Wednesday, March 19, Littleton High’s choirs will once again entertain at the annual spring concert, which is free.

The Chordially Yours from Littleton High entertain at the recent winter concert.

A warm performance – literally and figuratively

The Women’s Ensemble attired in long purple robes, the school color, sang Christmas Carols to begin their performance. The elite singers also sang and shared about Beneath the African Sky, a story about a young girl whom was a refugee living in Rwanda. Tying in with the event and the song, students held a blanket drive for the homeless.

The El Grande Fiesta Platter features a variety of appetizers, including flautas, poco chimis, espinaca con queso and a cheese quesadilla, served with guacamole and cream cheese.

By Rosemary Fetter really great Mexican restaurant is a real find, not exactly the Holy Grail, but close. Garcia’s Restaurant in Greenwood Village certainly qualifies, having delighted both locals and visitors since opening in 1984. Perhaps the friendly family atmosphere initially attracts hungry folk, along with the lively Southwestern décor. Central to the restaurant, a large statue/fountain features Tlaloc, the Mayan god of the Water. In another section, a large bright blue bird known as Tucan oversees operations. Local owner Jovita Fleischmann brought in both Mayan artworks from Mexico. Fleischmann who has been key to the restaurant’s success, worked for Garcia’s for several years as general manager before purchasing the Greenwood Village restaurant in 2001. The first Garcia’s ever

opened dates back to the 1950s, founded by Julio and Olivia Garcia in Scottsdale, Ariz. Today, Garcia’s now has several other restaurants in Arizona, and one each in Colorado, Idaho and Utah. Keeping with tradition, chefs still prepare all sauces, salsas, guacamole, chips, beans, rice, and meat dishes fresh daily. One of the first restaurants in the country to serve fajitas on a sizzling skillet, Garcia’s is also home to the popular pollo fundito, a flour tortilla stuffed with chicken, fried until crispy and topped with jalapeno cream cheese and melted cheddar cheese. Guests are encouraged to save room for one of the luscious desserts. Along with sopapillas and fried ice cream, choices include chocolate mini chimis, filled with cream cheese and chocolate, lightly fried and topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel and chocolate syrup. Another winner, the warm

apple flautas are crisp tortillas filled with warm cinnamon apple chunks, rolled in cinnamon sugar. For large groups, the restaurant offers a large private banquet room, which accommodates up to 140 people. Garcia’s also offers party trays and a great “to go” menu. Look for the hacienda just off I-25 and Belleview.

Defibrillator in schools update Poage with the South Metro Fire & Rescue Authority, as well as Melony Prince, Lyn Schaffer and Lacey Henry, volunteers at Children’s Hospital Colorado, Bill and Cheryl Badger of the Brianna Badger Foundation, and representing Cardiac Kids is Vicklinda Dinnel . Reach Tracy Sherman at 720989-2261 or for ticket information call 303-805-0228 or go to www. southmetrofoundation.org.

ast week we gave readers an insight into the effort by the South Metro Fire Rescue Authority to supply defibrillators (AEDs) in schools that don’t already have them and do have children with diagnosed cardiac risks. The publicity aims to spread the word about the Authority’s fourth Sweet Hearts Ball, Feb. 8, at the Hyatt Denver Tech Center. Today we have more details on the effort from Tracy Sherman at the South Metro Safety Foundation. The price for an AED is $1,400 and other models cost even more. Districts that already have them include all Douglas County Schools, 90 percent of Cherry Creek Schools and some in the Aurora and Denver Public Schools. If there is a need beyond the present borders the foundation can place ones there as well. We also mentioned Tanner Milam, a Longmont resident whose father, Tom Milam, a trained EMT, performed CPR on Tanner until paramedics arrived with an AED that restarted Tanner’s heart. So here we ask readers whether they have gotten CPR training and, if not, to get it before someone you know or see going into cardiac arrest needs your help. How helpless we all feel if we witness a medical emergency, merely able to just watch as a person suffers, waiting for 911 operators sending out a trained firefighter to supply that expertise as crucial seconds tick away. The Sweet Hearts Ball hopes to increase awareness, provide hands on CPR training and provide demonstration events they want to hold around the metro area. The main volunteers working on the Sweet hearts Ball include Brenda Poage of the South Metro Safety Foundation, Cheryl

Year in Review, Part 1

The year 2013 was a good one for the economy and for most nonprofits, be they medical or cultural. It wasn’t a particularly good year for guilds, with some folding and others simply seeming to become inactive. The efforts of these volunteer arms went to in-office staff with few, if any, decline in function. The Villager began the year by naming 2012 Villagers of the Year, Stephen Edmonds and Jamie Angelich. They both had spent decades in the trenches of local nonprofits. Edmonds seems to be just about everywhere, quietly helping at benefits and attending nonprofit planning sessions. Angelich has the energy of the proverbial Energizer Bunny, a magnet that draws attention to numerous agencies and infusing them with fresh ideas. She seems to be able to muster an army wherever she points her interests.

Etiquette

The Denver Debutante Ball is an annual Christmastime production, shining a light on many longtime cultural supporters, many belonging to families tracing their local heritage back generations, producing what is termed, legacies. That ball now supports the Denver Botanic Gardens. We lost Linda Goto, a beautiful and dedicated activist, for years focusing on Cancer League of Colorado and the local Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Linda was a CLC ball co-chair more than once and survived for a decade after a diagnosis of leukemia. A Celebration of Life took place in January, and we tearfully said goodbye. The University of Colorado Foundation had its Premier Gala in a tent, drawing 1,000 guests to the Anschutz Medical Campus. Claudia and Bob Beauprez and Sharon Magness Blake and Ernie Blake were chairpersons. The event celebrated a new 12-story inpatient tower that already treats 72,000 people a year. We had 12 photos in The Villager from that event and a favorite featured Jeremy McCreary, who walked the corridors of the hospital cocktail hours with his fun “vodka IV.” Sumptuous soups, amazing appetizers and a salute to Jeremy Bloom, an Olympic athlete were on the agenda at the Porter Hospice and St. Anthony Hospice Soup for the Soul. A swarm of almost 800 people attended and there were 78 tables sold. Their goal of raising $50,000 after dinner was raised in the blink of an eye as the paddle raiser brought out the benefactors, beginning with John Horan who raised his arm to kick in $25,000.

This time of year, multigenerational family members come together and it can be stressful when manners are most noticed by elders and by kids who don’t think their elders are using good manners as well. It all begins in the cradle. If you’re the bologna in the sandwich, you need to begin using your own good manners, getting your baby a bib and wiping their hands before you feed them their first solids. Given his first utensil, likely a tiny rubber tipped spoon, it may begin as what I used to term duck and cover time as the spoon gets used as a quick way to decorate nearby walls and you, the mom. Emily Post suggests you should turn off media and interact with the tiny tot. Sounds like a plan. Talk soothingly, quietly to your little one, use facial expressions, make eye contact and enjoy the one to one time together. During this season of togetherness, let other family members have a turn. If you are visiting friends or your parents, remember they don’t have all the baby supplies you do so bring everything the baby will need. Do not allow a baby or small child to throw tantrums that disrupt others either in a private home or out in public. When planning outings choose places conducive to children so they aren’t bored. Plan a quick retreat if things get out of hand, before others nearby are disturbed. It may just mean a quick stroll away but be ready to make a beeline for the car. Many malls and restaurants now offer private areas where

you can breast feed your baby so try to find out where such places are before you need them. This is a special bonding time for you and your baby and a soothing, calm environment can go a long way toward a loving, peaceful future for both. If dad is filling in on baby care, be sure he has a sufficient supply of baby products including prepared formula that keeps fresh for the duration of time he and baby are alone together. I personally feel that dads should be somewhat equal partners in parenting so if he is giving mom a few hours alone, he should already know how to prepare formula or keep pumped breast milk in a safe temperature. Parenting is a blessing you both should share.

The Urology Center of Colorado – a world class medical center exuding Colorado spirit

Flair!

By Scottie Taylor Iverson

ost are apprehensive about the thought of seeing an urologist. Many are even more nervous upon arrival at the doctor’s office. The Urology Center of Colorado (TUCC) has successfully combined expertise with peace and calm. TUCC is the most comprehensive urology center in the Rocky Mountain Region and boasts the most well-trained and experienced doctors, including those performing robotic surgery. The building itself was thoughtfully designed by the architectural firm Boulder Associates with an open floor plan. The center, founded by 13 doctors, was skillfully built with multiple amenities and opened in December 2006. There is natural light from the window at the end of each site line. The “Suite” concept is repeated distinguished not only by Colorado names but with matching colors and art. The Red Rocks Suite, for instance, has red signage and red-themed art. The other comfortable suites are: Browns Canyon, Turquoise Lake, Mesa Verde, Maroon Bells and Blue Mesa. Rather than have the feeling of “Grand Central,” the founders wanted more intimate waiting rooms. Each check-in desk serves two doctors. Another factor in the design was that the doctors wanted efficiency with tests in real time and the patient taking fewer steps completing the process all in one visit. There’s an air of quality without being ostentatious. Adding to the feng shui elements is a water feature in the concierge area. Approximately 150-200 patients are seen daily and patient cases number more than 13,000 since the center opened. Each doctor has three examining rooms, a conference room and office with dictation area facilitating communication with staff. There’s also a lab area, while nurses and med techs have their own spaces. In the lab area, blood draw and EKGs are performed adjacent to the imaging and surgery scheduling area. There’s expediency with everything under one roof. A traditional patient might go the ER for pain, undergo tests, have an appointment later with the urologist and eventually schedule surgery. This could take weeks to accomplish with narcotics in the mean time for pain. At TUCC, a theoretical patient with a kidney stone could take advantage of stateof-the-art equipment offered (such as lithotripsy – one of only two shock wave machines in Denver) and have surgery the same day. TUCC is the only urology group accredited for ultrasound by the American College of Radiology. A far safer CAT scanner is on site with only 50 percent of the radiation of older models. Radiologists are also on site for an immediate read. If surgery is the option, a patient goes

right across the hall for blood work, EKG and scheduling with three preop rooms available. The center can do radiation for any cancer, primarily bladder and prostate, and has a radiation oncologist as a partner. A tour of the facility is fascinating. There’s a linear accelerator ($4.5 million state-of-the-art of course) for imaging and planning accurate treatment, a research area (TUCC is currently participating in 26 clinical research trials with research coordinators to provide cutting-edge drugs and treatment for a variety of diseases), an infusion area for IV drugs, a urodynamic suite for study of how the bladder functions. Plus a physical therapist is on site specializing in the pelvic floor. Doctors do not have large individual offices, but there is a medical library, a unique on-site anatomic pathology lab where results of 80 percent of biopsies can be back in less than 24 hours and the histology department. The building’s third floor is all administrative, including the conference room that boasts a view of Sports Authority Field and Pikes Peak on a clear day. The staff that numbers 100 with 16 physicians

is well taken care of as well with a staff exercise room and staff lounge. No overhead pagers keep the spaces quieter and more peaceful. There is a phone bank so a patient is always in touch with a live person. In 2008, the center created the TUCC Foundation that is unique in any medical practice. The foundation provides five avenues of service, including scholarships, research funding, community work, such as pre-screenings in underserved areas, and helping all urology patients not just those of TUCC. The Blue Shoe Run staged in the fall is its major fundraising event. “The TUCC Foundation changes lives,” said Dr. Richard Heppe. “We provide scholarships and work with the Black Nurses Association that runs the CNA Program. We work with immigrants, pay for tuition, a stethoscope, watch, scrubs and nursing shoes. In addition, we help patients pay for daily living expenses while they are going through treatment.” TUCC is well known throughout the country for one commitment to one mission: Excellence in Urology. For more information, visit www.tucc.com or 303-825 TUCC (8822).

Mizel Institute honors William J. Hybl with 2014 Community Enrichment Award

The Mizel Institute has named William J. Hybl, chairman and chief executive officer of El Pomar Foundation, the recipient of its 2014 Community Enrichment Award.

Mizel, chairman of the Mizel Institute board of directors. “He was selected as the 2014 Community Enrichment Award honoree because of his exceptional leadership spanning a broad range of local and international accomplishments. As a founding contributor to the Mizel Institute and many other organizations in Colorado, he has represented the state – and country – graciously in his works.” Throughout his life, Hybl has stood at the forefront of public service and civic engagement. For the past 40 years, he has served in several high level positions at El Pomar Foundation, and in 1989, he was elected chairman and chief executive officer. Under Hybl’s leadership, the Foundation has provided more than $450 million to date in grants for education, health care, the environment, amateur sports, human services and the arts throughout the Rocky Mountain region. El Pomar Foundation received the National Foundation of the Year Award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals in 1998, in recognition of its inno-

vative grant making. Hybl also serves as chairman and chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic Endowment and as president emeritus of the U.S. Olympic Committee. He was the Committee’s president from 1996–2000 and 1991–92, overseeing the 1992 Winter Olympic Games in Albertville, France; the Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spain; the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in Nagano, Japan; and the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Hybl has served as: Chairman of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy, appointed by President George W. Bush in 2008, and reappointed by President Barack Obama in 2011; U.S. Representative to the 56th General Assembly of the United Nations from 2001–02; civilian aide to the Secretary of the Army for Colorado since 1986; member of the Colorado House of representatives from 1972–73; and special counsel to President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Looking back - Thoughts from the CEO

By John Brackney 2013 has been an invigorating year with the economy looking up and businesses around the south metro Denver area on an optimistic pattern of growth and prosperity. With the end of the year upon us, I’ve taken a look back at my blog posts over the last 12 months and picked out a few for revisiting.

Doers and Leadership (published on March 27, 2013)

All doers share a common language. They use consistent, concise, and meaningful statements that say, “You can count on me.” These are phrases that everyone from clients, to bosses, to friends and family, and all other important people in your life want to hear much more often: I’m on it. Done. I’ve got it. Roger That. Good to go. I’m here to help. Let’s do it. You betcha. Here you go. Yes Sir/Ma’m. I’ll fix it. Yes. I’ll take care of it. What’s next? I’m on your team. Not a problem. You got it. Consider it done. Don’t worry about it. How else can I help? Happy to help. I’m all in. I’m there for you. Count me in. My pleasure. I’m one step ahead of you. We’re on the same page. We all know some of these people that seem to be able to gracefully handle all of the important things. They are the go-to guys and gals, the “right hand man”, someone you trust to get the job done. And they often make the difference between failure and success or between good and great. They are usually the busiest people we know but somehow they still find time to say – I’m here to help or all I’ll take care of that. Our Chamber is full of these doers, leaders and volunteers who make a significant difference every day whether in public policy, economic development, key initiatives or serious relationship building. They use the “language of doers” naturally and joyfully and you know they mean it. They regularly under promise and over perform. Every competent person surrounds themselves with these people. Do you speak the “language of doers”? Do you have enough doers in your life? They make all the difference. Sign up for an upcoming Chamber event and we’ll introduce you to scores of them. Let’s do something meaningful together.

Effectiveness... (published on May 21, 2013)

You’ll see it at tonight’s Business After Hours. A dozen or more people will appear to have their entire act together. That’s because they probably do have their entire act together. They know who they are, what they are doing and why they are doing it, who they would like to meet, how to follow up with one person for mutual gain and how to be direct with another person that they are not interested in following up with. It is not an accident – it is intentional. As Malcolm Gladwell artfully explained in Outliers, success takes a base level of skill, passion for a given area of expertise and then a tremendous amount of time and effort. 10,000 hours of time are required to truly master a subject. That’s 5 years at a full time job, 10 years at a 20 hour per week part time job, 20 years at 10 hours a week for an avocation and 40 years for a hobby if you spend 5 hours a week, every week working to master your art. The truth is, you’ll see these talented business people at every Chamber event – hundreds of people throughout the year that have either made it big already or on the path to success. Expert relationship building takes time and every successful business person shares a similar quality. They know when to slow down and pay attention to the individual in front of them. They also know when to move on and pay attention to someone else. They understand “The Big Picture” in the room – they identify someone else or something they don’t already know and they pay attention to that. They use “networking events” totally different than the great majority of those in the room. They are effective, they make several key contacts and then they relax and move on. These same successful people also serve on boards, volunteer in faith or service organizations, are good neighbors, and make a major impact in their business and in society. Many people don’t understand how they get everything done and what their “secret” is. One likely answer lies in a video that the Wall Street Journal reported on last Friday, a video that has received over 4 Million views in one week. (Thanks to Brian Vogt, CEO of the Denver Botanic Gardens for telling me about it). This is Water explains how we have a choice about how to think in every situation. While many of us default to “this is a waste of time” and close down – others make a powerful choice to understand what is really going on, to reflect on the positive or to plan solutions to problems. Please ask me about Outliers or This is Water (the full commencement speech is deeper than the 9 minute clip), and we’ll share stories of effectiveness demonstrated by great leaders and how we can emulate their positive attributes. While it may take a while to master this skill, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. So I urge you to start

John Brackney thinking differently tonight while in traffic, or the next time you’re standing in line, or on a walk through the Gardens this summer. People are counting on us to help them Prosper and the strength of our community depends on our ability to prioritize our thoughts and actions – let’s do it effectively while adding value to everyone we touch.

Strengths... (published on July 9, 2013)

How do you find your authentic strengths? Once you have found them, how do you exercise those strengths to increase the likelihood that you and your business will succeed? Dozens of Chamber leaders and staff have taken the StrengthsFinder 2.0 assessment thanks to the passion and leadership of the ChairElect of our Board and leader of Kuni Honda, Herm Brocksmith. This easy-to-read book and fun online survey helps you understand how to communicate and collaborate more effectively to help yourself and others succeed professionally and personally. There are no right answers just different ways to view issues that help you identify your best attributes so you can develop and utilize your talents instead of trying to “fix” your weaknesses. My strengths are: Achiever, Input, Learner, Responsibility, and Communication. Are you willing to share your strengths? If you’ve taken StrengthsFinder 2.0 and are willing to share your strengths, please send them to me so we can do our best among Chamber leadership and staff to drive more value and connectivity to you and your business.

Nuance, Subtlety, & Margins... (published on Aug. 20, 2013)

They are the difference between those who just seem to “get it” and those who don’t. These attributes often determine who gets elected to public office and who becomes a failed candidate. Record-breaking sales people epitomize these traits while underperformers struggle along. They account for the difference between the top tier lead engineer on a major project and a staff engineer who never gets promoted. Successes and failures often depend on the ability of individuals and organizations to understand nuance, subtlety, and margins. The military trains on these characteristics – the difference between direct and an implied orders. Colleges teach it – public speaking courses versus non-verbal communication classes. Sports teams thrive on it – the game plan and the motivational speech, camaraderie and esprit de corp. Nuance, Subtlety, and Margins. We have much to learn from expert politicians, salespeople, military, the arts, orators, sports, and those who live with these slight, but important traits. Those that really do something, that really make it, are often not subject matter experts in their field, they hire the experts. In order to change society, we need to learn to define, intangible virtues like passion, workethic, belief, perseverance, teamwork, and communication. These attributes are the white space between the ink on the page. They are what we do when we take a break from work, the pauses in the speech and the recovery from the exertion. We also need to learn to listen rather than just hear. What does the speaker or writer really mean, not what do they say? What did they not say? Where do they spend their productive and down time? What is really worth fighting for? Will they win at any cost? Be present. Be aware. When we view the world from a different perspective, one wiser and worldlier than our circumstances would suggest – it changes every meeting, every business deal, and every interaction we have with others. The next time you see me at a Chamber event, let’s talk from a different perspective, or a higher plane, and I’ll share with you what makes someone, some business, or some

organization different than all their competitors. I’ll share with you leaders who are making an impact greater than their resume would lead you to believe, and those who are likely to be leading companies and organizations to make a difference in our communities. Understanding subtlety, nuance, and the margins will lead to an entirely different conversation and result. Prosperity comes in all different flavors, choose yours path and learn from the successful. When you do this you’ll discover that you’re far along the path to success. Let’s make it happen together.

A meal shared together... (published 12/24/2013)

Perhaps the oldest and most important of mankind’s rituals. Long ago, a great friend told me that until you’ve shared a meal with someone they aren’t yet a friend. We often think fondly of people that we’ve met along the way in the business world, in our communities, our faith, our hobbies, and our activities. We often call these people friends when they’re actually acquaintances. Life should be full of acquaintances, people whose company we enjoy, people we admire, people who are thoughtful, hardworking, smart and passionate. Acquaintances make our lives richer as they bring variety, complexity, nuance, fun and interest. A true friend however really makes life worth living and is worth relaxing with over a meal . Friends share stories of yesterday and plans for tomorrow. Good, bad, & ugly conversations all get thrown in the mix when breaking bread together. Regret becomes weaker and hope grows stronger when sharing a meal with friends. Forgiveness should run strong, strength should pour freely, and mutual understanding of troubling times should abound. Encouragement must be shouted loudly and love be shared thoughtfully. Kind jesting is always approved of with friends. Fondness for those not at the meal should be recognized and appreciated. May your Christmas and holiday season be filled the simple joy of sharing a meal with true friends and appreciation for those that surround you. As you think about your New Year’s resolutions, plan to support your acquaintances and share more meals with your friends. It’s a simple suggestion to make life enjoyable and meaningful: Be in the moment. These are just a few of my weekly posts which go out in our weekly eNewsletter as well as being posted on our website at www.BestChamber. com. If you would like to see more, visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter via the website. Happy New Year and let’s build more Remarkable Relationships as well as a Thriving Community in 2014!

“Your Satisfaction is Our Goal”

By H. Throttle The 2014 Subaru Outback lives up to it’s excellent worldwide reputation. The Outback has become famous with the notable Australian movies and the television advertising with the bad guys chasing Crocodile Dundee – they never captured him because he always kept ahead of them in his Outback. Few people will catch up to you in the 3.6 L. horizontal, 6-cylinder opposed engine that produces a fine power package along with 25-mpg highway. Fine Japanese craftsman manufactures the engine along with 45 percent of the Subaru parts. The final assembly of 45 percent of vehicle occurs in the United States at a plant in Lafayette, Ind. The missing 10 percent just must come from multiple sources. Fair to say that Subaru is a wonderful international product revered around the planet. Appearance and craftsmanship are first class and my wife upon seeing this vehicle stated immediately, “I love the beauti-

ful blue color.” The paint is officially described as “twilight blue metallic.” So, the Outback passes the design and paint tests with flying colors. The Outback is priced competitively at $32,095 with some additional features at $1,445 for a sunroof, rear back up vision, which are dealer options that can vary with seasonal advertising. The power package links to a great all-wheel symmetrical drive system along with dynamic VDC controls. A five-speed transmission is smooth as silk with a manual option. The Outback is perfect for mountain driving with the option to lock in any gear and use the paddle wheels located on the leather wrapped steering wheel. A large storage area is located behind the real fold down seats that are deep and comfortable for back seat passengers. A prominent gauge over the Harman-Kardan sound system informs the driver of the tem-

perature, time and miles left on fuel tank. The Outback will travel about 400 miles on a full tank of gas. Subaru has a reputation for being reliable and long lasting; warranties range five years and 60,000 miles on the power train. Additional warranties can be added up to 100,000 miles. The ride is firm, has solid steering and as the driver, you just feel in complete control of highway conditions in all respects. The 2014 Outback scores a perfect five-star ratings for overall safety and five stars for frontal and side crashes. A roof-rack can hold the snowboards and skies, the allwheel drive is perfect for snowy roads and a powerful fuel efficient engine will take the five passengers safety to any destination, even to the famed outback of Australian whence came this great name and inspiring drive. Consumers won’t go wrong here!

New mortgage rules take affect in 2014

How will the New Mortgage Rules Affect Home Buyers in 2014 and beyond? With the implementation of new mortgage rules taking effect Jan. 10, home buyers may discover a few new challenges in securing a mortgage as lenders will have additional restrictions in place to ensure that borrowers will be able to repay their mortgage loans. Gone are the days of creative financing that would help unqualified borrowers buy a home. Gone are mortgages extending beyond 30 years. No longer can home owners opt to pay less than the full monthly interest on their loans; no more balloon payments; and no more fees and points that add up to more than 3 percent of the loan. These new mortgage restrictions were developed as a cautionary reaction to the housing boom when it seemed as though anyone

who could verify income qualified for a mortgage. Many economists believe the previous lending tactics helped lead to a record number of foreclosures not only in Colorado but across the United States (Colorado’s foreclosure filings reached a high of 46,394 in 2009). So what do the new rules mean for home buyers? Lenders will have to verify and document numerous specific criteria, including income, assets, credit history, other debt obligations, and employment status, to determine whether a borrower has a reasonable chance of repaying the loan. Another guideline for lenders is that a borrower can’t spend more than 43 percent of monthly income making payments on his debts, including the new mortgage and credit card balances. In 2014, you will see banks

working hard assure that most, if not all, of the borrowers they lend to can qualify for a QRM (qualified residential mortgage). If the lender doesn’t follow the new rules, they run a high risk of being held liable to the homeowner who has trouble repaying their loan. Overall, the new mortgage rules are meant to protect all parties involved in the real estate transaction. For more information about the new rules, contact your local REALTOR.

Coffman nominates students to service academies

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, RAurora, has announced the names of 42 high school students from the 6th Congressional District that he has nominated for an appointment to the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Every applicant was placed through a rigorous evaluation process that included such factors as academic and athletic achievements, extracurricular activities, leadership skills, character and motivation, according to a press release from Coffman’s office. “Having served in both the U.S. Army and the Marine Corps, it’s an honor for me to nominate the future leaders of our military for an appointment to our nation’s elite service academies,” Coffman said.
