Broncos ‘focus’ on Super Bowl Team readies in Centennial for big game
By Tom Barry On Jan. 25 at the Denver Broncos’ Dove Valley Facility, quarterback Peyton Manning was the last player to walk off the field as a walk-through practice concluded. Spirits were visibly high and the unity among team members was apparent at the last practice before leaving for New Jersey and the Super Bowl. A handful of media waited in the small pressroom along with several boxes of Papa John’s Pizza. (Manning owns 21 Denver area franchises.) There were also a couple of boxes of Dunkin’ Donuts decorated as footballs. Head Coach John Fox, wearing dark sunglasses, was briefly peppered with reporters’ questions about the impending game. “I think you want guys to enjoy it and be with their families,” Fox said of his hopes for players in the days leading to the big game. “You don’t want to go there and be miserable all week and miserable with your family. It’s a fine line. They understand it. Enjoy your family, but it’s not Spring Break. … I think you want to be focused. The ball is still going to be kicked off, and we’re going to play 60 minutes of clock time and roughly three and a half hours of actual time.”

Arapahoe sheriff reflects on 42 years Grayson Robinson retiring this week By Peter Jones Were it not for his mother’s asthma, Sheriff Grayson Robinson might have taught school or followed his uncles and cousins into the mills and mines of Pittsburgh, Pa. “I have two cousins that are my age who still work the mine – and they worked from the day they left high school,” the sheriff said. Born in industrial Pittsburgh in 1950, young Robinson had no counter plans to walk the city as a cop. It was only years
later after his family moved to Colorado to benefit his mother’s health that Robinson heard his calling. “I had a friend that was a police officer, and he kept telling me, ‘You’d be a really good cop.’ I haven’t looked back,” the sheriff said. After graduating from Littleton High School in 1968 and serving a stint in the Army, Robinson enrolled in the police academy and after graduation was soon walking the beat for the Littleton Police Department. After two decades on the force, Capt. Robinson was Continued on page 3

adjacent the locker room. “The energy—there is a lot of energy,” he said. “We just want guys to be focused. That is the main thing [Fox] has been talking about and Peyton has been talking about—being focused. You can have the energy, but you have time, so just be focused.” “Our leadership group—that’s something that’s key for everybody,” he said. “Enjoy the moment of New York, be there, enjoy the Super Bowl, but we are there for a purpose, and that’s winning a football game. I think everybody understands that.” “We’ve been working hard and we’re just ready to get to New York,” added linebacker Wesley Woodyard. “It’s an exciting feeling that everybody can’t wait to get
“Manning is over 50 percent of our jersey sales,” said Scott Franklin, who heads the Broncos retail operation with Gameday Merchandising. Manning is followed by Wes Welker, Von Miller and Eric Decker. The Sports Authority store will reopen after the Super Bowl, if the Broncos win, to sell championship
caps and T-shirts. The store would be open until 10 p.m. and replenish its stock overnight. “We will be the first ones to have the locker-room cap and Tshirts,” Franklin said. “We’ll have some of the locker-room towels and championship lapel pins.” Such items are ordered weeks in advance in the hopes that the team wins. If the gamble does not pay off, the unsellable merchandise is donated to charities in foreign countries.

Broncos win ‘divine destiny’ Psychic predicts 7-point spread in Super Bowl
By Peter Jones The Denver Broncos will win this weekend’s Super Bowl by no more than seven points. So predicts psychic Michelle Houchens, who says her success rate for predicting the outcome of sporting events is 98 to 99 percent. “It’s going to look like it’s not a close game and then it’s going to be a close game – or vice verse,” Houchens said. The Villager asked the psychic with offices in Denver and Lone Tree to explain her prediction for a win that she goes so far as to call “divine destiny” and the “best and highest good of mankind.” Villager: A Broncos win would be in the best highest good of mankind? More than a few Broncos fans agree with you. Houchens: It has to do with the individual people (laughs). It’s not as much the Broncos winning. Many things ripple out from this for individuals. What it does is change people’s lives. Lots can happen to careers, to people, to families. Villager: But divine destiny? Houchens: We have these agreements before we come on the planet. This love affair is John Elway and Peyton Manning. Just like boy chases girl, Elway said, “Got to have you.” What you’ve seen is this sense of trust created in a relationship, and it’s not just Peyton and Elway. They’ve actually created a scenario for the whole team to win, including the City of Denver. They’ve made everybody Broncos. It’s like a superhighway of energy. It’s like

the Colorado River. It takes you places. You don’t have to do very much, except get out of your own way. Villager: But what about the Seahawks’ karma? Houchens: Their wave of energy is absolutely similar. Here’s the difference. The Broncos have a top-down strategy of energy aligning. With the Seahawks, they are not as aligned with the management to the coaches to the players. What the Broncos haven’t done is put the blocks or fear in there when their top players are out. But the biggest advantage is it’s in the cards. It’s to be. We call it pre-destiny. I’m also hearing that within the next five years, we’ll be in another Super Bowl. This is going to create a winning streak beyond winning streaks. Villager: How about the halftime show? Houchens: That’s a great point (laughs). I hear it’s going to be so-so. I hear not as good as last year.

New sheriff loves career, wife and hobbies Walcher appointed this week to replace Robinson
By Tom Barry The succession from Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson to Undersheriff Dave Walcher was methodically planned and initiated by Robinson. Five years ago, he asked Jefferson County Sheriff Ted Mink for permission to talk with Walcher about transferring to Arapahoe as a bureau chief. Walcher, who has been seeking the Republican nomination to succeed term-limited Robinson, is a 33-year law enforcement veteran. Robinson stepped down this week, a year prior to the end of his third term. On Jan. 28, the Arapahoe Coun-
Dave Walcher, Arapahoe County’s new sheriff, stands among his cherished memorabilia. Photo by Tom Barry ty Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Walcher as the interim sheriff. He will still have to run for election this November. Since childhood, Walcher has wanted to work in law enforcement, as evidenced by a letter he
sent to the FBI at 14 inquiring as to how he could become an agent. Walcher was born in Colorado Springs and moved at age 1 with his family to Grand Junction. The Walchers then moved to Arvada when he was in sixth grade. He gradu-
Sheriff Robinson reviews his career Continued from Page 1 recruited by Arapahoe County Sheriff Pat Sullivan, and a few years later was named Sullivan’s undersheriff. He was finally appointed to the top job in 2002 when Sullivan left his final term early. Robinson was elected to the job three times as a Republican. In his 12 years as sheriff, Robinson has seen the gamut of law enforcement experience – from the investigation and conviction of Sullivan, himself, on drug charges to the recent fatal shooting at Arapahoe High School. Along the way, the sheriff has shaken the hand of every U.S. president since Jimmy Carter and was fortunate enough to have Pope John Paul bless a rosary for a dear Catholic friend when the pontiff was in Denver for World Youth Day. “Those are things that I never would have imagined,” Robinson said. Last month, the sheriff, who turns 64 in April, announced he would retire at the end of January, one year prior to the end of his third and final term, paving the way for his heir apparent, Undersheriff David Walcher, to take the reins in advance of his own run for sheriff. The Villager recently sat down with Robinson in his office for a wide-ranging discussion on his 42-year career and his plans for the future. Villager: You’re leaving office during a very tough time for the community. Did the shooting cause you to reconsider stepping down at this time? Robinson: No. The leadership team that is in place are extraordinarily qualified and committed men and women and I’m very comfortable staying with my retirement plan. Clearly, there’s some work to be done, but I’m very confident in the investigation that’s being conducted. Villager: Will you remain as a consultant on the case? Robinson: No. When you step away from an organization, you step away. If you don’t, it’s a pretty good indicator that you don’t trust the people that you have put in place and I have the utmost respect and faith in the people that are here. I certainly will be available to advise, but only as I’m asked. Villager: Do you have any re-
sponse to the comments of Cameron Rust, the security guard who has essentially said that school officials knew the shooter was dangerous, but were reluctant to address the issue? Robinson: I have a lot of things I’d like to say about his information, but the fact of the matter is there’s an ongoing investigation. I have an obligation to be a mature, responsible adult. Apparently, he doesn’t have that obligation. I know for a fact his comments are irresponsible and are not in total context of what we know. He had an obligation to the community to be an engaged participant in our investigation, rather than go off on a tangent of his own. Villager: You have decided not to mention the shooter’s name in public, but the Claire Davis family has taken a very different approach, making a point of not only naming Karl Pierson, but humanizing him, and even publicly forgiving him at Claire’s memorial. How did you feel about that? Robinson: I have the utmost respect and regard for Mike and Desiree Davis. They are people that I am grateful that I got to meet, but I wish to God I had never met them. They are people that are absolutely the example of grace. It’s not in conflict with my perspective. I have a different purpose. My purpose is to get to the truth and to serve my community. Villager: Cases like this must be the toughest part of being sheriff. Robinson: In 42 years of doing this, the most difficult piece for me has been the victimization of the innocent. I get involved directly with the families. That’s not only my responsibility, but more importantly, it’s part of what I must do as a man – not for investigative purposes. I have an absolute obligation to those people. Villager: One can imagine how strange it must have been around this office when the Sheriff Sullivan case broke. Robinson: It was a little shocking. The direction I gave the people I work with was he will be treated like anybody else. He will not get any preferential treatment and we will investigate it thoroughly. In fact, we will investigate it more thoroughly. Pat gave me some opportunities in life and I’m grateful for those, but he damn sure doesn’t define this organization in any

way, shape or form. Villager: Aside from the Sullivan case, is there anything you wished you’d known when you entered law enforcement? Robinson: I don’t look back much. It’s been a wonderful adventure. I love the community I serve. I love the organization that I serve in. The people that I get to work with are some of the very best. There’s nothing I would have done differently. There’s nothing that I know now that I wish I had

ated from Arvada High School in 1977. He received his bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Metro State College and then worked for the FBI for seven years. Walcher has a master’s degree in Law Enforcement from the University of Colorado and has taught criminal justice at the Denver campus over the years. At this point, Walcher has not decided whom he will appoint as undersheriff, declining to comment if the candidate would come from inside the ranks, though he plans to continue developing future and emerging leaders, he said. “This is one of the best law enforcement agencies in this country,” said Walcher, 54 “… I’ve got a lot of confidence in our employees, so I don’t see the need to make major changes.”
known then. I’m very happy with what we’ve accomplished here. I’m excited for the future of the organization. Villager: Is there anything you’re most proud of? Robinson: I’m very proud of the Centennial relationship – being a part of the group that began the discussion about incorporation and then see it actually happen, and then having the [law enforcement] contract and the partnership with the city. We are more efficient and more effective than anybody else. Also, the time that I served on the Criminal Justice Commission for the state was a time that I just cherished. I am so proud of that work and I’m proud that I had the chance to work with that diverse group of people. We made some differences. Villager: Although you’ve been involved in writing legislation, you haven’t always been comfortable with the politics of running for office. Robinson: I hate partisan politics. I understand that politics is part of this job. I knew I had to campaign, but I never collected big money. The most I ever had in my campaign coffer was the first year and I had just short of $5,000. I hate the idea of asking for money. I regularly rejected money. I’m not a politician. I’m a public-safety professional that needs to go through an election process. When I raise my right hand, I never said I solemnly swear to serve the Republicans of Arapahoe County. I believe it should be a nonpartisan election based on credentials and vision. Villager: You have even been known to endorse a few Democrats, which raised some quiet consternation in the GOP. Robinson: It was a source of great pride for me. I am proud to be told that I am not a very good Republican. I never endorsed anybody with the intention of dissing anybody. I did it because the person I was endorsing was someone I had faith in and believed had a perspective and a purpose that I shared. Villager: Is there anything you never had the chance to do in law enforcement? Robinson: No, I had some really interesting opportunities. I was a police officer on the street. When I got assigned as an undercover officer and had hair down to my shoulders, my mother would occasionally say, “Could you come through the alley and the backdoor
Walcher, an Aurora resident, will do things “a little differently,” compared to his predecessor, he said. “It’s an awesome responsibility,” he said. “Ultimately, the buck stops with the sheriff.” The new sheriff said he will focus on utilizing the latest technology to make law enforcement more efficient and effective. “In my opinion we are a very lean organization. … We are fiscally conservative,” he said. “We need to be good stewards of the taxpayer dollar.” Walcher has been married to his wife, Linda, for 20 years. The couple enjoys hiking, boating, bicycling and spending time with their 21 nieces and nephews. In the warmer months, Walcher bikes around 125 miles a week. He says he also loves his 1970 muscle car that he sometimes drives on the weekends. ‘cause my neighbors are a little nervous about who you are?” That was pretty funny. Then I got to work as a school-resource officer. So I have a picture of myself in the barber chair. They were hacking off the beard and the long hair. Two days later, I was in uniform working in the high schools and middle schools in Littleton. That’s a culture change for you. Villager: I’ve wondered about your name J. Grayson Robinson. What does the J stand for, and have you always gone by your middle name? Robinson: John. My mother’s father was named John Grayson Krumrein. His oldest son was named Grayson. But John was a very popular name on both sides of the family. We would have a family gathering and someone would yell, “John!” My father was John. My grandfather was John. I had three cousins named John. I had two uncles named John. Ten people would think they’re in trouble. My mother said, “I’ve had it with this. You’re going by your middle name.” It was good because at that time it was kind of a unique name. It was also bad because when they said “Grayson” at school, we all knew who was in trouble. Villager: In the folk song “Tom Dooley,” the lawman’s name was Grayson. Robinson: Absolutely! “If it hadn’t been for Grayson, he’d have been in Tennessee.” Villager: What are your plans after retirement? Robinson: I’ve had some opportunities and I’ve declined them. My wife and a couple of other folks have convinced me to take a break so I’m going to take about two months and reflect on life. I like to do woodworking. I’m not very good at it, but I love it. If I’m feeling a lot of stress, usually my wife and my friends can find me in my garage with the music as loud as I can play it and just doing what I want. My brother and I are going to do some hiking and remodeling for some folks who need help, which is a double blessing because I get to spend more time with my brother who I just love to death. Then I’m going to kind of keep my eye open for the next adventure. There’s one more good one in me. It will not be elected office.

By Tom Barry Sheriff Ted Mink of neighboring Jefferson County is known for running a shipshape law enforcement agency and for his candor and colorful sense of humor. As the former police chief in Arvada, Mink has known incoming Arapahoe County Sheriff David Walcher for many years. When Mink took the reins in Jefferson County, Walcher was already Jeffco’s captain in charge of investigations. Mink joked that he used to ask Walcher in his younger years, “Did I ever arrest you when you were in high school at Arvada?” Walcher always quickly replied, “No, I was a good kid.” Walcher would work his way through the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, serving as division chief over the county’s detention facility and handling support services, budget and communications activities. He also served on the Jeffco Regional SWAT team. “He has always been dedicated to public safety and he is very good at learning new positions quickly and well,” Mink said. “Dave is intelligent and dedicated and will do the best job possible. Dave is capable in any situation, whether it be a tragedy, one like Arapahoe High or the everyday things. And [Dave] has the experience and

knowledge to handle any complex investigation or any situation that comes his way.” As an example, Walcher was involved in the Columbine High School investigation and now inherits the investigation into the Arapahoe High School tragedy. More than five years ago, Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson called Mink and
asked permission to talk with Walcher, Mink’s third in command, about coming to Arapahoe County. “He is very ethical and has integrity, and I’ve seen that displayed on a number of issues, including budget, personnel issues – just about all facets of running a sheriff’s office,” Mink said of Walcher.
Greenwood Village approves new wireless tower By Jan Wondra Greenwood Village residents seem to have a love-hate relationship with wireless service. Not that any of the residents are against cellphones; they just haven’t wanted wireless cell towers in their neighborhoods. Simply drive through Greenwood Village a mile or less west of I-25, while on a mobile call and you may lose your conversation or message. Often you won’t pick up service again until you’re in Centennial, Littleton or Cherry Hills Village. The Jan. 6 public hearing on the issue during the Greenwood Village City Council meeting represented the long-awaited progress. City Council finally approved the placement of a wireless tower within the right-of-way at 3900 E. Garden Ave. Newpath Networks/Crown Castle holds the wireless provider rights for Greenwood Village. This is the company’s third attempt since 2010 to position technology to correct a cellphone coverage gap. Prior attempts, which included mounting antennae on existing utility poles, resulted in council defeat, or withdrawal of the request. The last proposal brought by Crown Castle was in January 2013 and focused on a utility pole installation. Neighborhood opposition was strong and focused on the fact that the proposed neighborhood was actively pursuing under-grounding its existing utility lines. The designated area for the polemounted antennae, a 32-square
foot area of right-of-way on East Garden Avenue, is an area of mature trees and open fields. “It would be unobtrusive,” said Crown Castle representative, Dan Switzer. “The pole would be dark brown; experience has shown us that this is the least obtrusive color. It would not to exceed 30 feet in height, with a wireless receptor at the top area no more than two feet wide.” The pole accessories would be placed underground at the foot of the pole, with nothing but a grate showing. The backdrop for the installation is close-set, tall trees, primarily evergreens. Councilwoman Bette Todd questioned whether the proposed installation was larger than that seen in the past in the Village. “We like to think that things are getting smaller,” said Switzer “But the reality is that some things are getting slightly bigger, to accommodate an explosion of wireless applications.” Greenwood Village City Attorney Tanya Haas Davidson said, “The proposed installation complies with our code. The council has to comply with our code too, and there is no definition for what constitutes a substantial increase in size. Ten percent is a general rule, but this doesn’t exceed that.” Village resident David Girard said, “I submitted a letter and my reasons (for objecting) are aesthetic. I’ll look at it every day from my deck, so this sort of matters to me.” “We are all strongly supportive
of the need, but not supportive of the pole aesthetics,” said resident Carlton Jennings, of the Sierra Vista Homeowners Association. “We supported the previous Alexander Avenue area, but not this one. The real issue is that we’re going to get to improve our communications coverage. And we want to maintain the nature of the area we live in. It’s open and more rural. I guess over time we’ll seize on that and not look at the pole.” Discussion also included the request that landscaping surrounding the installation include native grasses, rocks and hand-watered shrubs, to blend the installation as much as possible with its surroundings. “It’s a ‘Hobson’s Choice,’” said Councilman Jerry Presley. “We need the communication coverage and we need to protect this very, very rural area. It’s a special place and rare in the Village.” The motion was approved by City Council and installation will begin immediately.
New stop sign for Clarkson and Sunset Lane
Greenwood City Council approved placement of a stop sign at the intersection of Clarkson Street and Sunset Lane. The intersection has seen increased traffic and residents requested the sign placement. “We’re not trying to add a stop sign, so much as we’re trying to slow down traffic,” said Councilwoman Denise Rose.”

Denver will bring home the world title KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
It’s pretty hard to write about anything but the Broncos and the upcoming Super Bowl. I think it’s on most people’s minds. Remember though that it is
just a game of entertainment and win, lose or tie, the sun will come up in Seattle and Denver Monday morning, as it always does. I thought the Broncos would win against the Patriots; in fact, I thought they would win big, and they did. So, I feel the same way about the Seattle Seahawks. Peyton Manning is just a better quarterback and team leader than Russell Wilson. It takes superb leadership to win a Super Bowl and we have one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game with his own masterful style. I think “Omaha” is just a stall for him to look over the defense and it’s easy to say and remem-
ber. Maybe he should think up a longer name for a greater view of the defense, but Omaha just sounds so good. Those folks from Nebraska must love the publicity received here in Colorado where those folks are such supporters of Colorado teams. Go see the film Nebraska if you want a real movie treat. The weather could be a factor, but I would prefer a pocket passer like Manning on a wet, icy turf to Wilson’s running abilities. Broncos defense was suspect for most of the season but handling the Patriots so well I don’t think we can doubt our team’s defense anymore. We stopped the run completely in the last game
after they had scored 43 points running the ball in their prior win. We’ve got the receivers, a great field general throwing the ball, and two very able running backs. Worst nightmare an injury, some fumbles, pass interceptions, on a miserable snowy day – but that works both ways. Lastly, Denver is hungry for this, the fans are really excited and this flows across all of Colorado. Money can’t buy the great publicity that the team has brought to Colorado and the balmy AFC win was a tourist attraction bonanza. Denver just lights up over the Broncos!
‘Unimportant’ facts about some U.S. presidents REMARKS
By Mort Marks
When “Give ‘em Hell Harry” was asked one day what the president of the United States did – Truman replied that, “People think I sit here and push buttons and get things accomplished. Well, I spent today kissing asses.” That being the case, a look back in history at the other presidents reveals some interesting facts – namely that some presidents have been rich, some poor – some smart, some not too bright. For example, George Washington was one of the richest men of his time, but left no direct descendants.

Cherry Hills Village receives congressional visit
By Jan Wondra The work group that gathered Jan. 24 over antipasto at Pino’s Pizzeria and Wine Bar, located in The Shoppes at Cherry Hills, had several things in common. Four of the attendees held elected office and the rest, save the reporter, were city and federal employees. “This is the second consecutive year that Cherry Hills Village has hosted Unites States Congresswoman Diana DeGette,” said Mayor Doug Tisdale, who was joined by Council members Klasina VanderWerf and Alex Brown, City Manager John Peterson and Deputy City Manager Jay Goldie. “We’re honored that our issues are issues that matter to our federal representatives as well.” Among the many topics discussed that afternoon, first and foremost was open space and its role in a vibrant residential community. The wide- ranging discussion also touched on fiscal health, recreational marijuana, gun violence, school safety, and the need for infrastructure funding. “We live here in Colorado because of our quality of life,” said DeGette, who represents the 1st District. “Wilderness is the crown jewel of this state, and our country, and we have to protect it. I’ve been working on the Wilderness Bill since 1999; we have a coalition of stakeholders behind it, from both parties. I wish I could say that there is a leadership climate for it to pass... but at the moment, there isn’t. In fact, the current budget reality is that there just aren’t federal open space preservation funds.”
DeGette went on to explain that the old system of earmarks, deployed by most congressional members in moderation, used to allow for the really good, small projects to proceed. “My stem cell and medical research initiatives, for example,” she said. “They benefit hundreds of thousands of people. The rare ‘bridges to nowhere’ were the exception. Now, it is nearly impossible to get things done. In fact, this has been the worst congressional session on record; only 53 bills passed and two of them were mine. I’m quite proud of the bill providing regulatory relief for small hydroelectric providers; it’s going to impact thousands of small municipal energy providers across the country. “Colorado is unique among states in that it has a reputation for cooperation. It’s rare, when state members of both parties walk into a hearing and get behind the same initiative, as we have in this state. But in Congress, we haven’t been as successful on other things; The Market Place Fairness Act for instance. The Senate passed it with bi-partisan support, but it didn’t come to the House floor.” With a shooting so recently in Arapahoe County, school violence is top of mind. Mayor Tisdale recapped the way in which south metro municipalities cooperated during the crisis, but added, “All the gun laws in the world would not have stopped what happened.” “What we need are more mental health resources,” said DeGette. “Studies have shown that mental health issues and violence are more
prevalent in ages 16 to 24. Most are dangerous only to themselves and most are young men. Once kids go off to college, then there is this erroneous sense that our privacy laws prevent parents from getting information. Frankly, our funding is pathetic.” DeGette says that next up on the federal legislative agenda is refunding the Farm Bill, then dealing with a new Transportation Bill funding road and bridge infrastructure. “We have to review the gas tax,” said DeGette. “It hasn’t been looked at it years. It’s the way to fund our crumbling infrastructure.” The work meeting ended in laughter, as DeGette shared that there are those in Congress who have taken to referring to the upcoming Super Bowl between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks as “The Pot Bowl,” as both states have legalized recreational marijuana. Tisdale added that with such a strong connection between Cherry Hills Village and the Broncos (several of them live there, as well as the owner and the head of operations) that perhaps it should do a rally of its own. “We’ve got some wonderful bets with our Washington state counterparts,” she said referring to the Colorado delegations’ offers to the Washington delegation, should the Seahawks win. “Each of us has pledged something; from Colorado microbrews, to Celestial Seasonings, to Stranahan Whiskey. But we aren’t worried that we’ll have to pay up.”
Former Glendale cop arrested on drug charges By Peter Jones A former Glendale police officer was arrested last week on charges related to cocaine trafficking and unauthorized use of a law enforcement database after being indicted by a grand jury, U.S. Attorney John Walsh announced. Scott T. Black, 39, of Firestone turned himself in to FBI agents on Jan. 23 and was scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in
Denver the following day. A second man, Oscar S. Garcia, 35, of Aurora was also indicted. According to the indictment, Black helped Garcia sell cocaine and used his police authority to run license plates through the Colorado Crime Information Center from 2011 through the end of last year to “facilitate” the drug trafficking. Black is also accused of lying to an FBI agent on several occasions.
If convicted on all counts, Black could face up to 19 years in prison and as much as $1 million in fines. “To the best of our knowledge, no other Glendale Police officers were involved in this incident,” Walsh’s office said in a press announcement. Black resigned from the Glendale force in November 2013. He has 13 years of law enforcement experience and had been with the department for five years.

Arapahoe’s Diego Garcia wrestles with Heritage’s Jason Forsythe in the annual event.
Arapahoe and Heritage take it to the mat in annual rivalry
Photos by Tom Barry
By Tom Barry Arapahoe High School hosted this year’s annual wrestling competition against Heritage High School. More than 1,200 students, staff, families and alumni gathered to root for their respective teams. The Eagles had been looking forward to this match all season, as long-time wrestling coach Ray Barron’s team was primed and ready to go for the hotly contested meet for bragging rights. Barron had taught at the school for 30 years and now works with the school’s support staff, while continuing to coach the team. Arapahoe wrestling coach, athletic director and assistant principal Steve Sisler had anxiously anticipated this matchup along with the school’s grapplers. His dad Bob preceded him as head coach and is now one of the four assistant coaches. This was not just any wrestling
match; this was a rivalry that dates back to 1972. On alternating years, AHS hosts and pulls out the stops for this event at the Sitting Eagle Gymnasium. Sisler flipped the switch, as all the lights went out, except for a single mat lamp that illuminated the center of the gym. Carrie Warren-Gully, a new LPS board member, and her husband were loudly rooting on one of their two sons on the Warrior team. The weight classes ranged from 106 to 285 pounds. Arapahoe’s Toms performed atop the mat to initiate the match. Cheerleaders from each team were on opposite sides of the mat cheering on their teams. The atmosphere was electric as the two student bodies cheered loudly throughout the competition, as the AHS band added to the atmosphere. Many of the students sported their orange Broncos jerseys in lieu of their traditional black for Arapahoe and red for
Heritage. “The mat lamp creates a different atmosphere that is unique to wrestling and puts them on center stage,” said Sisler, as the school has used the lamp since 1994. After a long and wild night of competition between the two schools, the Warriors came out ahead on the mats winning the contest with 38 points to Heritage’s 24. Over the recent years, the two teams have split the match wins. “This match is always a tough match, a lot of emotion, a lot of pride and it means a lot to the wrestling community,” said Sisler, who wrestled for the Warriors and graduated in 1996. “Our wrestlers showed up and got it done in a tense environment.” “We lost too many of the close matches,” said Barron. “We got to finish things that we started and we have four weeks to figure out what to do. Arapahoe has a good team.”

A shared experience
Denver Broncos are ‘our’ team
By John Brackney, President & CEO South Metro Denver Chamber The Denver Broncos are going to win Super Bowl XLVIII. I knew it even before the preseason opener. (In full disclosure, I’ve been predicting a Broncos’ Super Bowl win every season since our first appearance in ’77.) Here are my reasons why you should root for the Broncos this year: First, they have been a client of the Chamber for decades. They have been a great community leader ever since their Dove Valley headquarters was moved to the heart of the south metro Denver business community, next to the Arapahoe County Justice Center and near Centennial Airport. We’ve partnered with them dozens of times over the years on major economic issues as well as community events. Additionally, most of their executives, coaches, and team members live in the beautiful communities throughout South Metro Denver. In simple terms The Denver Broncos are ingrained in south metro Denver and are part of the lives of all Coloradans. We use first person terms like “we,” “us,” and “our” when talking about the Broncos, because they are our team. They’re one of the “claims to fame” that come with living and working in South Metro Denver. They are one of the area’s preeminent businesses continuing to make long-term investments in their infrastructure and personnel to continue to put the Denver metro area, Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain West on the national and international stage. Their success also helps pump money into the local economy. Retailers have a hard time keeping Broncos apparel in stock and places like Safeway and King Soopers sell out of hot wings, or-

ange and blue iced cookies, and other game day treats every time they play. But the most important thing, the Broncos bring to Denver is the opportunity for us to share an experience. The best things in life are those we share with others. Many families make it a point to gather around the television on Sunday to watch the team win. If the Broncos lose, our children are less happy as they go to school on Monday morning and our colleagues at work just seem a little down. But when the Broncos win, Sunday night and Monday morning seem just a little bit brighter. This collective emotion comes from the countless families and friends who root for something together. Whether you watch the game at home, at a friend’s or neighbor’s house, at the local watering hole, or at Mile High Stadium, you can’t escape the shared agony of defeat or joy of victory associated with the shared experience of a Broncos game. Don’t believe me? When else would you high five or give a touchdown hug to a complete stranger? Of course we share many other valuable experiences: travel, games, faith, reunions, other sporting events, music, and meals to name a few. But watching our Denver Broncos play in the Super Bowl is both a small group shared experience and a community event all thrown in to one. Let’s gather together and make this year a game everyone remembers so we can tell our kids and grandkids, “Remember in ’14…” This Sunday, pay attention to those who you share this experience with. Value the companionship and friendship that make it a shared experience. Also remember those who are no longer with us and look for opportunities to bring more friends into our community. Go Broncos!
The South Metro Chamber’s Energy Council (formerly the Energy & Sustainable Infrastructure Council) recently hosted a presentation, “Fracturing 101,” by the CEO of Rockpile Energy Services Curt Dacar. Just mentioning the controversial process stirs many people’s fears which is why Dacar believes in educating the public about what horizontal drilling and “fracking” is and why it is important for our future economy. Hydraulic fracturing or “fracking” is the process of pumping water, sand and chemistry to layers of shale rock containing oil and natural gas located up to 2 miles beneath the surface. Under extremely high pressure, this mixture fractures the rock with minuscule (.2 - .5 cm) cracks, which the sand holds open. These cracks allow the trapped oil & natural gas to flow into the well and up to the surface. In the U.S., an estimated 35,000 wells are processed with the hydraulic fracturing method; it’s estimated that over one million wells have been hydraulically fractured since the first well in the late 1940s. The combination of horizontal drilling and fracturing allows economically feasible extraction of oil and natural gas in areas previously seen as unproductive. The technique of horizontal drilling, which has been used since 1929, allows multiple wells (up to 20 or more) to be drilled from the same bore site, minimizing the surface impact from having multiple drill sites. After reviewing a brief history of oil drilling in the United States, Dacar showed the documentary “Down Deep” (www.downdeep. com) which presents the facts not only the energy industry’s point of view, but also from the experiences of people living around the wells. Also shown as a short animated clip regarding the basics of fracking and horizontal drilling. Both of these presentations depict the process as safe and efficient as long as strict regulatory guidelines are followed and maintained. A large portion of the Dacar’s dialogue was devoted to two topics of the public’s concern: the construction techniques used in drilling and the chemistry used in fracturing. He talked the audience through the process of drilling
• A crosslinker such as borax which maintains the fluid viscosity
• Scale inhibitor which prevents scale forming in pipes and a surfactant which acts as a stabilizer for the gel.
Curt Dacar presents a sample of oil shale explaining the rock’s porosity is a critical factor to determine the need for fracking and horizontal drilling. which includes placing multiple layers of steel casing combined with layers of concrete to prevent contamination of groundwater sources as deep as 2000 feet. Continual monitoring of pipe pressure verifies that the wellhead is functioning properly. Generally, the chemistry makes up between .5 – 2 percent of the fracking solution with the remaining made up of a water and sand mixture. The sand (also called “proppant” because it “props” the cracks open) is either natural quartz or man-made ceramic depending upon the pressures encountered at the well end. The chemicals serve many functions , from limiting the growth of bacteria to preventing corrosion of the well casing, chemicals are needed to insure that the fracturing job is effective and efficient. The most commonly used include: • Guar gum as a gelling agent which thickens the water in order to carry the sand - also used in toothpaste • Acid (usually hydrochloric acid) which helps dissolve minerals and initiates the rock fracturing - commonly used in swimming pools • A anti-bacterial agent - kills bacteria which produces corrosive by-products • A breaker such as sodium chloride (salt) which stabilizes the gel mixture
According to Dacar, up to 50 percent of the solution can be reused on other sites and the water usage is similar to that of an average golf course. More specifics about fracking, groundwater protection, state regulations and the chemicals used can be found at www.fracfocus.org. The future of oil and gas production was brought home with graphs showing that at current production growth, the United States could soon become not only energy independent, but the technologies that American companies are developing are being sought after by other energy-producing countries. The Chamber’s COO and Director of Economic Development Jeff Holwell sees traditional energy sources as part of our nation’s energy future. “I’m personally very passionate about this from an economic development perspective because the energy industry as a whole is as primary of an industry as it comes in the state of Colorado, the United States and the world. It’s the continual advancement of an industry that helps create wealth for those living within your community, institutions that survive on the wealth created within the community, and for the productive parts of the economy as a whole. If we don’t have those parts of our economy producing goods and services the rest of it doesn’t work, “ Holwell said. The Chamber’s Energy Council is leading a coalition of leaders in a public/private partnership to explore aspects of traditional as well as renewable sources of energy. This is the execution of the idea that the entire south metro area can exist with a balance of traditional as well as alternative and renewable fuels.

Colorful jet helps dreams come true Temporary paint creates lasting memories for kids with illness Submitted by Deborah Grigsby Smith, Centennial Airport colorful corporate jet is helping children with illness. The Dream Chaser 4, a rainbow clad Learjet 35 left Centennial Airport, Jan. 20, for week-long tour as part of a special project led by International Jet Aviation Services to benefit children of Make-A-Wish Colorado, as well as other chapters in neighboring states. “It’s all part of an effort to give something back to the community,” said William Milam, International Jet co-founder, a local executive aircraft charter company. “We’ve had a lot of success, and this gives us the opportunity to help people out.” Milam explained certain preventive maintenance milestones require the eight-passenger aircraft to be stripped of its exterior paint, completely inspected and X-rayed. Prior to the inspection date, he said the aircraft receives a temporary rainbow paint job and is used to give Make-A-Wish kids a private jet experience and bird’s eye view of the city. Jack Whettan, 12, said, during the 20-minute flight, he got to see his house and his school and the mountains. “I’d definitely do it again,” he said. The Dream Chaser project is a nonprofit volunteer effort supported by International Jet employees, as well as outside partners and donors to help cover paint and fuel costs. “This is a chance for our employees to give back something to the community,” said Lynn
A
Krogh, CEO of International Jet. “It’s really worthwhile to know we have brought some extra fun and excitement to the kids of Make-AWish. The organization has done so much good in the three decades since they started, and they continue to make wishes come true for special children.” “We see this as just another positive experience that we can share together as a family,” said Sarah Crook of Centennial whose 8-year-old daughter, Jamie was also on one of two flights that originated out of Centennial. “And right now, we want to take advantage of every opportunity we can get.” “Battling life-threatening medical conditions is a burden on children and their families,” said Joan Mazak, Make-A-Wish Colorado president and CEO. “Riding in the IJet Dream Chaser is fun for the kids and a great reminder to always have dreams for the future.” For 6-year-old Franny Dicosola of Parker, the ride meant a fresh start after spending almost half her life undergoing medical treatment. “For us, this is just a great time to enjoy each other in an environment other than in a hospital,” said Valeri Dicosola, Franny’s mother. The plane will retain its brightly colored paint job as it continues its tour though neighboring states and Make-A-Wish chapters before being repainted and returned commercial use.

A dozen Make-A-Wish kids got the chance to ride a rainbow with the help of a colorful Learjet 35. Fourth in a series, the IJet Dream Chaser gave these kids, each battling life-threatening medical conditions, a bird’s-eye view of the city, Jan. 20.

Thanks to our Board of Education members
Submitted CCSD The five members of the Cherry Creek Schools Board of Education are dedicated public servants – unpaid volunteers – who work diligently to ensure that the children of Cherry Creek receive the best education possible – one that prepares them for success in college, the military, the workplace and as contributing members of our democratic society. January is School Board Recognition Month and the Cherry Creek School District is proud to acknowledge the steadfast commitment and invaluable contributions made by the members of the Board of Education; Karen Fisher, Claudine McDonald, Jim O’Brien, Randy Perlis and David Willman. “How fortunate we are to have these selfless volunteers leading our district,” said Dr. Harry Bull, superintendent of Cherry Creek Schools. “They give generously of their time to thoroughly study and carefully consider many challenging and complex issues. Every decision they make is based
on what is in the best interest of our students.” Board members are responsible for the academic success of more than 51,000 students, as well as the efficient management of a district with nearly 9,000 full and part-time employees and an annual general fund budget of more than $400 million. They spend countless hours studying student achievement and school finance, working with lawmakers and educational experts, meeting with district administrators, teachers, staff members, parents and students, and attending school and district events. Each board member represents one of the district’s five director districts, but they are elected “at-large” to four-year terms by registered voters via a non-partisan ballot. Board of Education meetings are generally held at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of the month at one of the Cherry Creek schools. Contact information for the Board of Education is 720-554-4300 or ccsdboard@cherrycreekschools. org.

whopping 3,000 adults spent the evening of June 20, 2013, indulging in food from 60 eateries at the Do at the Zoo, amid the sounds of mating zebras, fine feathered peacocks and free roaming cottontail bunnies. VIP humans were sipping signature drinks, at the Toyota Elephant Passage past Mimi, our adored elephant. Katie Magner chaired the Do at the Zoo and her husband, Joe Magner served on the event corporate committee.
The June 22 Fine Arts Foundation Summer Debutante Ball was the first which we noticed had jettisoned the rule requiring debutante gowns have shoulder straps. It had been a hard to enforce rule since these are for the most part, wedding gowns, which had gone almost entirely to strapless styles. The Children’s Hospital Gala was spectacular in every way and it was fun! From the tastiest and most abundant amount of silent auction hors d’oeuvres to the OneRepublic performance, this was the place to be. It began with an almost amazing emcee, Zach Miller, who at age 14 is the picture of health, accompanied by an endearing personality. You’d never guess that at age 9 months he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, thus beginning his journey at Children’s, getting physical and occupational therapy. As he told us his story his dark eyes and adorable black tousled hair just gleamed.
In October, The University of Colorado Cancer Center had its signature Men’s Event at Elway’s, drawing about 400 men, and when we say men we mean only men, other than hospital staffers. What a terrific way to get guys to bond and raise money to conquer prostate cancer, a major initiative at the respected Cancer Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus, right here in Arapahoe County, specifically, in Aurora. The restaurant’s namesake and Denver Broncos Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway was rubbing elbows with the likes of University of Colorado Denver Chancellor Don Elliman, Steve Farber, Charlie Gallagher, Craig Andrisen, Neal Groff, John DellaSalle, Russ Dispense, Norm Brownstein and other guys. Pink ties, pink hats, pink gowns and pink hair had people in the pink at the Susan G. Komen Pink Tie Affair, which was the place to be Nov. 9. The Affair was sold out to the back of the Sheraton Hotel’s
biggest ballroom, underscoring the success of the Komen mission to save lives and end breast cancer. It also served to honor the survivors at the benefit. When asked to stand if you are a breast cancer survivor many women stood up and got a rousing wave of applause. And so it went last year, a year of budding hope for medical research, support for the arts and care for our nation’s most treasured assets, our children.
Etiquette
The following Letter to the Editor from Dr. Eric Mack came Nov. 30, 2013, in reply to the Nov. 14 GloryUs Goings On Etiquette column on bad language where I’d asked for feedback. The letter appears here for the first time. On my flight back from Huntsville to Houston (where I now sit awaiting my connecting flight home) I read three issues of The Villager. The etiquette portion of your column continues to be
poignant. In the Nov. 14 issue, you wrote about bad language and encouraged readers to weigh in. I do not know if I am too late to make my point, but I figured that it was worth an e-mail. I do not believe that television and films and music lead society, but rather are emblematic of where society has gone. The bad language would not be present in cultural activities if the language were not already part of culture. With the loss of civility in our society has gone self-control. Society appears to be rewarding bad behavior and loss of selfcontrol. Growing up it was unthinkable for me to use bad language anywhere, not just with my parents or places where it might be a sacrilege (synagogue, gatherings), but even in the locker room. College destroyed that naive view for me and I am afraid they are part of my private language. That is, I sometimes Continued on page 13

use bad words when alone in front of the television and my team has made a bad play or the government has experienced an artificial shutdown for no apparent reason. But just as I drive much better with passengers, I would never think of using bad language in front of other people. At public sporting events I have cautioned others about using inappropriate language where there are minors about even if the language were a bit more euphemistic (what does the word “suck” have to do with poor performance or wishing poor performance upon another?). Railing against sports officials with the use of inappropriate language does not change the outcome. I suppose the individual is yelling loud enough that they think that the officials will actually hear them when in actuality they only burn the ears of their nearest neighbors. I know that it may make them feel better, but it does not make me feel better. And such behavior is not improved by the consumption of alcoholic beverages. I am probably the only adult individual at the hockey game who is not drinking alcohol nor thrilled by the breakout of fisticuffs (either on the ice or in the stands). Television often disappoints me. “Two and a Half Men” has not only seen a rise in bad language, but as hard as it is to

There is so much whining and behavior better left to the bathroom or bedroom that I only watch when nothing else is on. Is it any wonder that I thrill at the prospect of watching “Columbo” on Sunday nights on the old-time TV channel? It is a great plot, I enjoy watching even when I already know how the killer will be caught, and the English language never gets murdered. I have just one more question. There are some new shows with redeeming value. So I do plot out what I watch on a daily basis. Sometimes it’s a miss and I turn off the television. After all, I am already on my computer.

Kappa Alpha Theta celebrates 144th Founders Day

n Jan. 27, 1870, four courageous, spirited, pioneering and leading women not wanting to be merely social members of men’s fraternities and who wanted to wear their own badges, founded Kappa Alpha Theta (Theta) at Indiana Asbury College (now DePauw University) in Greencastle, Ind. Ulysses S. Grant was president of the United States and Colorado would not be a state until six years later.
The Inspirational Theta award was presented by 2013 winner and former DAC Theta President Leigh Plue to Sarah Hittner, financial wizard and valuable board member. Collegians and alumnae celebrate the founding annually. Denver Alumnae Chapter’s festivities were at Glenmoor Country Club and the group has won top awards at Theta’s National Convention while consistently ranking in the Top 10 Alumnae Chapters. Theta has awarded more than $573,000 in scholarships
– more than any other Greek group. Scholarship is a major priority and 45 Theta chapters were ranked No. 1 on their campuses. The organization’s national philanthropy is CASA. Denver Alumnae Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta was established in 1909. For more information: www.denver.kappaalphatheta.org.

2014 Nissan Altima – a sedan so sweet it comes in chocolate
By Don Bain The first thought on seeing the Java Metallic color of the Nissan Altima when delivered was, “It looks just like milk chocolate – sweet!” The next thing we noticed was the simple sophistication of the 2014 Nissan Altima’s cleanly sculpted lines, defining the essence of the sedan in this aerodynamic age. Not everyone can afford a luxury car and some folks just need transportation from point A to B. That said, choosing an economical car doesn’t mean you have to have a dull or drab one, something the 2014 Nissan Altima makes readily evident. At a price point of about $25K, the efficient sedan promises fuel consumption of up to 38-mpg highway from a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a continuously variable transmission. With 27-mpg in town, the 2014 Nissan Altima will keep transportation from eating up too much of the family budget, while protecting the clan from mayhem with a bevy of the latest safety systems and technology. Airbags are a given in this day and age, as are the alphabet soup acronyms of braking and traction systems. The Nissan Altima has its share of both, but unusual in an economy car are blind spot and lane
departure alerts and what Nissan calls Moving Object Detection – a system that aids when pulling away from a parking spot. Whether the object is a vehicle crossing before or behind the Nissan or a pedestrian beside the car, the system will alert the driver both audibly and visually to indicate where the motion is detected. It also features a system called Active Understeer Control – a system that detects both understeering and oversteering and uses braking to slow the appropriate drive wheel to correct the steering error. Just another feature meant to aid today’s admittedly distracted driver – despite our best intentions. From the 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels, individual tire pressure monitoring, vehicle immobilizer and remote start to the leather wrapped steering wheel, automatic headlights, universal homelink transceiver and fog lamps – more and more features once found only in cars costing much more can be found in Nissan’s mid-level sedan. The Nissan drives quite well in town and its front-wheel drive performs well in inclement weather. The 182-horsepower provided by the 16-valve engine is more than adequate for metropolitan motoring within a cabin that is remarkably roomy even for tall occupants. It has an excellent safety rating
for a car this size scoring 5 stars overall while also scoring 8 out of 10 for lowered CO2 emissions. If you normally drive an Infiniti QX or some other high-end vehicle, you may find things not to like about the Altima. This turned out to be the case for a friend who got one as a rental and usually drives the aforementioned Infiniti. For the younger driver who has driven hand-me-downs and used cars for a while and is finally considering a new vehicle, the 2014 Nissan Altima is a certified contender in the $25K range. The exact numbers include a base price of $24,180 plus a $1,350 convenience package, plus $1,090 for a technology package. These options add niceties like a moonroof, rear AC vents, and some of the other aspects mentioned, plus an upgraded display screen and navigation program bundled with the driver assistance systems. Another $185 for floor/trunk mats and destination charges of $810 brought the final price to $27,615. That’s a fair return on investment, which translates into what is normally called value – and it comes in chocolate, too. If you’re looking for a stylish and economical sedan for metropolitan commuting, this might be the car for you.
