By Peter Jones With the luck Centennial has had with weather during summer events, the stage in Center Park could use a cover, and by next summer it will have one. City Council has unanimously approved a plan to have a protective stage cover in place by Memorial Day 2014 in time for a busy schedule of events that is slated to begin at the popular summer destination.

The project also includes some electrical upgrades and other improvements to a stage that has already hosted a reggae festival, a range of local bands and a welcome-home celebration for Centennial Olympian Missy Franklin. Money for the project will come from the city’s share of Arapahoe County Open Space Shareback funds. Bassett & Associates and Eidos Architects will design and construct the improvements as the result of a competitive bidding process. “The design goal is to complement the Center Park design

theme and features while taking advantage of the mountain views,” a city staff report reads. The cover could incorporate such materials as fabric, steel, concrete and wood, though that decision has yet to be made. Requests for restrooms and dressing rooms will not be part of this upgrade. “However, accommodation can be made in the overflow parking lot for the trailers and coaches performers utilize so that we can continue to attract top performers to the venue,” the report says. Cost of the project will not ex-

ceed $750,000. The award-winning 11-acre Center Park, adjacent to Centennial Civic Center, can accommodate up to 3,000 people for lawn seating. The stage cover is expected to increase rental revenues for the park amphitheater. The Wailers headlined a reggae festival in the park last year. Centennial Under the Stars, a multi-themed summer celebration, was also planned by the city as the signature event for the park, but was canceled due to torrential rains shortly after the event began.

New Englewood Campus ready for first classes

High school students to take their seats next month

By Peter Jones School bells are about to ring at the new Englewood Campus. Phase 1 of the school district’s much-touted combined middle school and high school is complete. Beginning next month, Englewood High School students will begin utilizing the $44 million state-of-the-art campus. A year later, the district’s middle school students plan to move in. At that point, the two sets of students will essentially change places. Seventh and eighth graders will take over the campus’s north end when the high school’s Phase 2 is complete in December 2014. Englewood Leadership Academy, the district’s small school of choice, will also be part of the 238,000-squre-foot campus. A total of about 1,000 students will eventually be in the building. “It’ll be a little bit messy for Continued on page 2

Phase 1 of the new Englewood Campus, on the site of the former Englewood High School, is finished. Highschoolers are expected to move in before Christmas.

the first year,” Englewood Schools Superintendent Brian Ewert said. “The students are very excited. They can’t wait to move in.” The changes correspond with 100th anniversary of Englewood High School. Englewood Campus, located at 3800 S. Logan St. on the former EHS site, was the result of a 2011 voter-approved bond sale and a property-tax boost. In addition to funding the new campus, $8 million is going toward renovating the current home of Englewood Middle School, which is slated to become the new location for Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School once the campus is complete. One of the first things visitors will see when touring the competed portion of the new campus is the spacious and distinctly comfortable “academic atrium,” which was decidedly designed as an appealing hangout for 21st century students.

“It was intentionally built in such a way that we want kids to stay,” Ewert said of the modern, but homey design. “We want kids to be here. We want them to activate the space. We want them to congregate before and after school. We wanted to create a Starbucks feel, if you will, for the entire school.” The campus is similarly eyeing snack-bar sales as a way to keep the campus alluring, and perhaps even hip by some ironic definition. Likewise, the multi-level cafeteria has eschewed an institutional lunchroom look for – dare we say – the style and quality of a destination restaurant. And we’re talking good food, according to Ewert. “We expect healthy choices – and choices that kids would like to eat, that look good and are fresh,” the superintendent said. Adjacent to the cafeteria and kitchen is a fully equipped culinary arts facility. The new campus also boasts impressive and spacious facilities

for science classes, among a host of other state-of-the-art amenities, including a renovated theater and music education areas, and new sports fields. Much like a college setting, teachers will have an office work area, but will not be assigned to a specific classroom. “They will teach in two or three different spaces during the day. The reason we did that was to save on square footage, to make sure every classroom is full every single period,” Ewert said. A special-education area is equipped with a bed, a stove, a washer and a dryer to ensure all students receive the individualized attention they need. “This is an apartment where kids will learn life skills.” Ewert said. “You have a kid with severe cognitive delays or physical disabilities, they learn how to take care of a bedroom, how to live and cook.” EHS officially marked its 100th anniversary on Nov. 16 with alumni tours of the new campus.

The new cafeteria will serve healthful and appealing choices.

The “academic atrium” was built in such a way as to encourage kids to hangout at school, according to Superintendent Brian Ewert. “We wanted to create a Starbucks feel, if you will, for the entire school,” he said.

The newly renovated auditorium was preserved from the original high school building.

Englewood Schools’ “relentless” focus on learning was carried on by the construction project, school officials say.

Cherry Creek Dam Road closed for maintenance Cherry Creek Dam will be closed, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Nov. 22, due to road maintenance. Arapahoe County crews

will be maintaining guardrails and trimming weeds to minimize snow drifting during the winter months.

Graffiti makes its mark in South Suburban parks Vandals more prolific in fall months

By Peter Jones raffiti has painted South Suburban Parks and Recreation District into a corner. The art of causing trouble has been on a gradual increase in the district’s parks and facilities since 2007 when a mysterious upsurge in graffiti sent district officials running for their paint, chemicals and highpressure equipment. In the years since, the parks and facilities have seen more than $260,000 in graffiti-related damages. Fall is typically the preferred season for these “creative” vandals, according to South Suburban spokeswoman Jamie DeBartolomeis. “Our gut feeling is when kids go back to school, sometimes they reunite – and I don’t know – they have self-expression or something. You’d think in the summer it would peak,” she said. Weekends are the worst, district officials say. So far this year alone, the parks district has spent about $20,000 to clean up after more than 100 graffiti incidents that have occurred across the large

and diverse 42-square-mile district that stretches from Sheridan to Lone Tree. It is a frustrating situation for a tax-supported public entity. “The time and money spent on graffiti cleanup could be better spent on programming and enhancing playgrounds, parks and trails,” DeBartolomeis said. South Suburban has in part responded to the challenge by installing $8,000 security cameras in two problem spots, a skate park at Cornerstone Park in Littleton and at Sheridan Community Park, a deterrent that has served to noticeably reduce graffiti in those areas, according to the district. Still, at this time South Suburban has no plans to install more cameras, unless other areas rise to the top in spray-paint vandalism. Only a fraction of the graffiti is gang related. In the meantime, DeBartolomeis says the district is prepared to take the matter seriously in those rare instances when the perpetrators are caught. “The good news is we’re coming into winter and things start to die down,” she said. “That’s good in the world of graffiti.” To report graffiti, call 303435-8225 or after hours at 303435-8227. Those who see it in progress may call 911.

Eloise May

Library named Outstanding Building of the Year

The Denver Chapter of the Building Owners and Managers Association recently honored Arapahoe Library District with the Outstanding Building of the Year award in the governmentbuilding category. The TOBY award recognizes the quality of facilities management at the Eloise May Library on Parker Road in unincorporated Arapahoe County based on a comprehensive portfolio demonstrating best practices involving all facets of the building’s operations, including tenant relations, amenities, community involvement, emergency evacuation procedures, building standards, sustainability, energy management, accessibility and overall exceptional service. Staff accepted the award at a gala held at the Sewall Ballroom at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. TOBY has drawn attention to hundreds of buildings across North America, and to the owners, managers and service providers who conceive, design and operate them.

Ellis formally announced the NFL team would be constructing a new world-class state-of-the-art indoor practice facility at its current Dove Valley headquarters in Arapahoe County. In addition, the team will make a sizable investment in renovating the existing facility and adding a new commercial kitchen and cafeteria. As reported in August, the Broncos will invest $30 million in the new 115,000 sq. ft. indoor practice facility, according to a source that requested anonymity. In addition, an 85,000 sq. ft. field house and support space will be constructed. Construction on the new facilities will begin immediately and the training center should be available for use next fall. The renovations to the Paul D. Bowen Memorial Broncos Center will commence at the end of the season.

Price likely to be reinstated as Creek tennis coach Coach must take training after ‘insensitive’ comments to women

By Tom Barry Cherry Creek High School’s Kirk Price is one of the nation’s most successful winning tennis coaches, but he has not been on the court lately due to “personnel issues.” Price began his career in the Cherry Creek District in 1969 as a math teacher. He served 20 years as a swimming coach and sponsored numerous girls and boys activities until his retirement. He took the nationally respected team to 39 state titles and continued to lead the team after his retirement. This last tennis season began as usual with Price conducting the players meeting on Aug. 22. But shortly thereafter, a top school and district official told Price he was being suspended and the coach was asked to leave the campus. Price

complied. The tennis team continued under the direction of assistant coach Art Quinn with Creek taking all 28 of the 5A matches, winning yet another state title. A number of tennis players, parents, coaches and others in the tennis community knew nothing about anything relating to the suspended coach. “The reason for Price’s leave is not related to students or team activities,” said Tustin Amole, director of communications for Cherry Creek School District. The district’s human resources department conducted an investigation. Price attended two taped meetings with the district representatives. Price said he used the words “dear,” “sweetheart” and “babe” when talking with women, offending several. “I am very sensitive to issues around women and how women are treated and I also know that sometimes comments get made where there is no bad intent,” said Karen Steinhauser, who served on

Creek’s Boys’ Tennis Club and is a criminal defense attorney and a legal commentator for News4. “I work with discrimination issues, and the one thing I have learned is never assume bad intent. … Do I think [it was] his intent to have a woman feel uncomfortable? Absolutely never.” On Nov. 11, Creek Principal Ryan Silva told Price his suspension would end once the coach had taken a sexual-harassment sensitivity class. “There has been no change in Mr. Price’s status,” Amole said. “He remains on administrative leave.” Even so, Price will be unable to attend the team banquet this week because he has not yet taken the required course and is waiting for it to be scheduled. Price said he looks forward to returning to coach the Creek team to their 40th state championship before his planned retirement within the next two years.

Take the Broncos this year KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

State should cash in on sports betting The Broncos win Sunday night was spectacular. I don’t remember ever seeing or hearing a more jubilant stadium of fans before and after the kickoff. We all cheered so loudly the Chiefs were penalized on the first play of the game for a false start because they couldn’t hear the signals. We stood most of the game, the night air lost its chill early and the game temperature never was a factor for fans or fullbacks. It was a great night for football. The Las Vegas line was eight

points and the Broncos covered the spread with a 10-point victory so the Broncos won the game and those who bet on the Orange Crush collected winning tickets. It was quite possible toward the end of the game that the Chiefs would make a score and that would have been a Broncos victory, but a loss for those who put their money where their mouths are in the world of sports betting. The line on most major games is printed daily in The Denver Post. Fantasy football is now the big deal in the world of sports and money changing hands. Colorado should legalize sports betting and make millions on legalized betting. The machinery is in place with the gaming licenses already issued to the gaming establishments that legalized gambling. Almost all casinos in Las Vegas have on site sport books located on site where daily visitors bet on horse racing, and I think Colorado should do the same. I have a standing $10 game bet on the Broncos with a local cafe owner that has been ongoing for 20 years. He takes the point spread and I always take

the Broncos. Last year he won slightly and this year I’m about one game ahead – meaning $10 bucks. The Broncos are such a hot team that the odds makers give a lot of points to their opponents. It is difficult to win the game and beat the spread; beating the Chiefs will make it worse. There is also an underworld of sports betting and bookies right here in Denver taking bets. I’m not privy to them and am not interested in any off site betting, but I have known people who have placed bets on major games with individuals. There is great interest in Colorado in sports and we have folks from other adjoining states that travel to Denver for football, hockey and baseball. The baseball is a great drawing card for Colorado tourism because tickets are almost always available. This year football tickets are expensive and hard to come by for nonseason ticket holders. Bottom line – many sports fans would spend money betting on sporting events and the state would take a healthy amount of the proceeds right off the top.

Horse and dog track betting has been legal for years, but interest has dwindled in recent time. But income received from sports betting would be a great source of revenue for those needy children who were deprived of Amendment 66 funds that just went down in flames. Next year let the folks vote on having legalized sports betting at licensed venues or do it through the legislature and forget the high cost of these special issue election campaigns. At the moment I can’t think of any reason why the legislature would not expand sports betting rules and venues since we already have legalized racetrack betting. The betting money is being spent now; the state just isn’t getting any revenue from the fans that know where and how to bet. When I win, I get a complimentary breakfast. Many retirees go sit at the betting parlors and get the free drinks and hot dogs while watching the ponies run across America. This seems harmless enough to me.

Keystone. Roth Sheppard Architects of Denver designed the Joint Public Safety Facility. It is one of only three projects to receive the Honor Award, and was recognized for how it met the described challenge, how well it functions and how well it respects the local context. “This project, long in the planning but quick in the building, deserves this high accolade and we congratulate Roth Sheppard Architects and the City Council and former Mayor Mike Wozniak for bringing it about,” said Mayor Doug Tisdale. The judging was composed of

Thanks to all who voted for me (7,500+). I cannot believe an unknown would get so many votes. I wish I could have knocked on everyone’s door, I just might have won. The journey was great. I met tons of wonderful people. I learned so much during this process. During the campaign time: meetings and forums and a few luncheons, I came to a revelation: people heavily involved in politics (whether it be city government, or anyone outside, who are closely connected) are not accepting of outsiders. This is a club. If you are not part of the club, you are not welcome. I was not expecting hugs, or party invites, but you would think most would acknowledge me. That was not the case. If I had won, I am not sure how this would have panned out, as they would been very upset to have someone new to the group. Who wants change, right? At the election night gathering, I even had a City Council member ask me, “I wanted to ask you, you knew you wouldn’t win when you got into this right?” What a thing to ask a citizen of Centennial. Why not, “Great job. Thank you for getting involved. It’s always hard to win against an incumbent. There should be more Citizens like you.” I surround myself with good people, who treat others with respect and honesty. I kept asking myself, why am throwing myself into this den of politicians? I was doing all of this for you. It really wasn’t about me. 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. The city employees were always kind

to me, as were the reporters for The Villager (Peter – thank you) and Centennial Citizen (George – thank you). My journey hasn’t ended. I look forward to staying involved, keeping up with what the City Council and Mayor are doing. Now that I am not running for Mayor, I might be acknowledged and welcomed at the meetings. Let’s hope so. Monika Bromley Centennial

‘The Book of Mormon’

Regarding Mort Marks’ column in the Oct. 31 Villager. I have always thought that the first rule of journalism is to know your subject. It is therefore surprising that despite not seeing The Book of Mormon, Mr. Marks feels qualified to lambast the play again (he also did it last year with the same comments when the play opened in Denver). I have seen it and know many others who have and to be sure it is irreverent, sacrilegious and politically incorrect. It is also riotously funny and sweet in it’s own way. I have never heard the word “hatred” in describing the play. It is unfortunate that Mr. Marks feels comfortable labeling something (incorrectly and maliciously I might add) of which he has no first-hand knowledge. It’s an all too common trend we see today, where someone’s intolerance translates into labeling something as hateful. If you want to better understand The Book of Mormon read Peter Jones’ review in the same issue. Better yet go see it for yourself. I hope that in the future the editors of The Villager exercise more control over Mr. Marks. I realize his column represents his opinion but at least they

a Seattle-based jury, headed by Jury Chair Ruth Baleiko of AIA, and selected the Facility for the Honor Award, the highest honor given by the AIA. More than 130 projects were entered in the competition. The judging scoring included aspects of design and construction, included the relative use of materials, sustainability parameters and overall clarity of design. “We hope that Cherry Hills and South Metro enjoy the facility as much as the architectural community,” said Jeff Sheppard, AIA, the lead partner at Roth Sheppard Architects.

Need to be vigilant about how we legislate, spend money

The 2014 Colorado State Legislature is about to convene and there are still many people, especially young people, out of work. Benefits from both the public and private sector are needed to help Colorado citizens get through. A big contributor to the problem is the high amount of illegal labor. While criminal businesses park citizen labor in government subsidies they use illegal labor at will. Last year our legislators, Linda Newell and Daniel Kagan, contributed to the problem by offering illegal immigrants enticements to come and stay. They made drivers licenses available (a form of ID), gave instate tuition to illegal aliens, and allowed cities and counties to refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. While these bills may please our legislators’ special interest friends in the Chambers of Commerce and Colorado Municipal League, it does little to stem the tide of illegal labor that effects south metro citizens directly and indirectly. We need to make it clear to both Newell and Kagan that we want to see these laws rescinded and e-verify in place. We can reduce the cost of state government by being vigilant about how we legislate and where the money goes. John C. Brick Englewood

The plans for the AMG National Trust Bank, to be constructed on Lot 7 of the Greenwood Corporate Plaza, include a classical copper-sheathed dome. Courtesy rendering By Jan Wondra After a public hearing and healthy debate over the relationship of the developed and undeveloped lots, Greenwood Village City Council unanimously passed a request by AMG National Trust Bank that will allow development of Lot 7 in the Greenwood Corporate Plaza, 6295 Greenwood Plaza Blvd. “We like Greenwood Village as a location and we’re pleased to be able to continue with our plans,” said, David Wright, CEO of AMG National Corp, the parent company of AMG National Trust Bank. This will allow development of the 4.23 acres site, part of the Greenwood Corporate Plaza, which is zoned Town Center. The motion was the third of three legal actions required to clear the way for construction by AMG National Trust Bank of a new building on what is now undeveloped land. The interlocked steps included a review of the city’s 2001 Master Development Plan to amend the site plat, and the abandonment of a small easement on the lot by the neighboring Lot 6, which it has used it for overflow parking. Steve Cromer of Greenwood

Village Planning Staff reviewed the proposal with City Council and public. “Dropping the parking easement does not disturb the existing driveways into and out of the lot, which will remain the same,” said Cromer. The plans for the bank include a three-story structure with a classical copper-sheathed dome, and extensive reworking of the lot to allow both for parking and landscaping. While there was no public objection to the plans, there was council debate over the question of parking for Greenwood Corporate Plaza, itself. “Right now, Lot 6 is using parking space in Lot 7, but this plan actually reduces the prescribed number of parking spaces,” said Councilwoman Bette Todd. “How does this meet our minimum of one parking space for each 250 feet of office space? It doesn’t. It is one space for every 228 feet.” Cromer said, “Right now, between lots 1 through 6 of the Greenwood Corporate Plaza, we have actual parking activity where one parking space equals 282 square feet of office space,. The proposed

building is actually smaller than we planned for the site.” Jeff Roemer said, “These are all smaller buildings, smaller tenant spaces. I think this is sufficient, especially with how well the building is integrated into the site design.” Todd said, “But what code mechanism do we have to enforce the parking load minimums if this is built and there isn’t enough parking at Greenwood Corporate Plaza?” “We want to encourage light rail use, don’t we?” said Councilman Tom Bishop. “I don’t see how we can deny this, with all the careful work done, just because there are questions about the total parking spaces for Greenwood Corporate Plaza. If we begin to see this, we can address it as a matter of the entire site.” In the end, City Council vote was unanimous in favor of the motion, which clears the way for construction to begin on the new AMG National Trust Bank. Mayor Pro Tem Gary Kramer said, “We don’t always get projects before us with as much preparation as this. You all made a lot of concessions to make sure that this would meet our standards.”

Ketring Lake being filled Denver Water began filling Ketring Lake this week to replenish water that was lost when the area experienced drought conditions last spring. The lake is aesthetically important to the neighborhood, creates environmental benefits for wildlife and provides opportunities for fishing. Many residents enjoy bird

watching, exercising and walking their dogs around the lake.    Unlike Sterne Lake, Little’s Creek Lake, Geneva Lake, Ridgeview Lake and others in Littleton, Ketring Lake does not have a natural drainage channel to fill it. It is fed only with water from the High L s sine Canal. Denver Water ran High Line Canal water into

Ketring Lake in September, but had to stop due to breaches downstream related to the flooding in northern Colorado. The chlorine will be removed before water goes into the lake from a fire hydrant at Littleton Museum. The process may take up to 10 days. Visit www.denver water.org.

By Rosemary Fetter Thanksgiving is probably the only American holiday without an agenda. No gift giving, no specific religious or political connections, no fireworks and no costumes. In this country, Thanksgiving is all about food, family, friends, and for some of us, football. Like our ancestors, we express gratitude for a bountiful harvest and our many blessings, especially frozen turkeys, fresh fruits and vegetables, butter (or some low-cal substitute) and even canned pumpkin pie mix and cranberry sauce. Add to that modern refrigeration, microwave, convex and electric ovens, food processors and a host of other culinary conveniences, plus the proximity of the nearest grocery store, and we have a range of food choices and cookery that would have amazed our foremothers. Although most of us know the basics of the Thanksgiving holiday, answers to some of the questions below may come as a surprise. If you got six or more answers correct, treat yourself to an extra piece of pumpkin pie. If you got all of them right, take the whole pie. Happy Thanksgiving!

states, Colorado included, simply ignored him and continued partying on the fourth Thursday. Since Roosevelt had to deal with Pearl Harbor just a couple of weeks later, he backed off, wisely deciding to “pick his battles.” 12) B. The University of Detroit Stadium hosted the first broadcasted Thanksgiving Day football game in 1934, pitting the Detroit Lions against the Chicago Bears.

Denver Southeast Rotary Club expands membership with new satellite club Submitted by DSE Rotary Club The Denver Southeast Rotary Club recently launched the formation of a satellite club, known as DSE Evenings, which is aimed toward attracting young professionals in the Denver south area to Rotary. These young people share the same strong commitment to local and global service to others, as do regular DSE members. The initiative was championed by DSE’s new President John Hughes when he began his term in July. As a result of several months of planning and preliminary meetings, 24 new members, reflecting a wide cross-section of professional positions, were formally inducted into the DSE club on Nov. 7. Many of these new members are multi-generational Rotarians, so they were directly exposed to the goals of Rotary service as they grew up and participated in family Rotary functions and Rotary youth leadership programs. The concept of satellite clubs within Rotary is a pilot project of Rotary International. “Satellite clubs are geared toward attracting younger professionals as a way to promote the Rotary brand, grow membership and inspire a new generation of

Rotarian,” said Katie Ehlis, a younger member herself in DSE, and executive with Red Robin. Ehlis planned the initial meeting programs for interested young professionals and communicated with them using various social media. There were four preliminary meetings to explain how Rotary works to provide service, fellowship and mentorship as well as general networking opportunities. “The large number of new members in the satellite club is a positive indicator for all of Rotary that there is a large population of younger professionals who would make ideal Rotarians and are eager to get involved and passionate about service,” Ehlis said. Craig Sargent, DSE membership chair, facilitated the membership process, which followed standard procedures of a formal application for membership by the candidate, a sponsor within the club endorsing the candidate, and, finally, an interview with a past president of the club. Then, DSE’s board as well as general membership voted to approve each candidate for membership. “Processing all of the materials was a bit arduous, but well worth it to add so much energy and excitement to our club mem-

bership, not to mention seeing my own daughter (Victoria) become a fourth-generation Rotarian,” Sargent said. While the DSE Rotary Club currently meets every Thursday morning for breakfast, the new satellite club will meet every other Wednesday evening to accommodate work and family schedules. Satellite club members are always invited to come to regular DSE meetings and participate in all other club activities. In addition, the satellite club members may develop and execute their own projects, in which regular DSE members may also participate. Six new satellite members have been appointed to leadership positions, including Jennifer Tilliss (President), Amy Richardson (VP/President-Elect), Carolyn Clough (Secretary), Josh Steck (Membership Chair), Cody Stambaugh (Programs Chair), and Katie Keller (Service Chair). The next meeting is set for Wednesday, Dec. 11, 6:15 – 8 p.m., at Angelo’s Taverna, 630 E. 6th Ave., Denver. More information on the club can be found at www.dseevenings.wordpress. com Questions about the club may be sent to www.dseevenings@gmail.com.

Centennial approves its largest development By Peter Jones Centennial has approved its largest-ever development in the city’s 12-year history. City Council has OK’d plans for a 1.9-million-square-foot mixed-use project for Jones International, the parent company of Jones International University, an online school that is located next to the site for the new development. The site for the expansive project is west of I-25 north of the hard-to-miss IKEA store, a facility that was expected to attract a range of commercial interests to the corridor. The 42-acre site acquired by Jones nearly 30 years ago has been rezoned and is ex-

pected to include residential, retail, office and green-space usage. The residential component is expected to include up to 200 lofts that would be situated above the retail space in several sevento-11-story buildings. Design work is expected to begin late next year, though it is unclear when groundbreaking would take place. The project would be among the few new such projects in Centennial to incorporate significant office space. City staff report projects revenue generated from the projects would surpass the city’s costs for servicing the development, which may take decades to be fully occupied.

The award was presented Sept. 26 at the organization’s annual conference. The award is judged by webdevelopment professionals from inside and outside of government. The award criteria include team size, content, organization, design, performance and flexibility, accessibility, standards and interactivity. Littleton’s new website launched Jan. 7. An employee team worked to identify the criteria and features needed for the new site. Vision Internet was selected to help design and develop it. It replaced Littleton’s original website that debuted in 2000. Check it out at littletongov. org. Littleton History Moments, a series of six short videos profiling people and buildings that played an important role in shaping the city, won a first-place award last week from the National Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors at its annual conference. Subjects in the series include: Richard Little, Lewis and Laura Ames, Col. Spotswood, the Littleton Post Office, Town Hall Arts Center, and last but not least, Alferd Packer. Mapuche: The People of the Land, a video showcasing an exhibit that was displayed at the Littleton Museum, was a finalist in the competition. All of the videos can be seen on the city’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/ LittletonGov#g/u.

Some states, like Colorado, have already moved forward with reforms of their own, throughout its 30-year history, the Colorado SNAP Employment First program has seen 90 percent of its participants successfully complete the work requirements to receive benefits. I commend the important work this program does for Coloradans and the House-passed reform will build on that and require all states to have these much needed reforms in place. It is important to note that the just passed House reforms, the federal 1996 welfare reform law, and the Colorado Works program are all designed to give people help when they need it without encouraging anyone to be permanently dependent on the government. Moreover, the projected savings from the House reform bill will come from recipients moving towards self-sufficiency and not from arbitrary cuts to the program. Most people would rather work than rely on government assistance. Most people want to go out and be productive so that they can earn a living, so that they can support their family, and so that they can have hope for a better future. The Nutrition Reform and Work Opportunity Act of 2013, is designed to give help in what is often referred to as a “hand up” instead of a “hand out” to those in need.

South Metro Fire Rescue announces employment program for disabled Submitted by South Metro Fire Rescue South Metro Fire Rescue Authority is paving the way to a more diverse staff with a pilot employment program for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. The program will work with area organizations like Developmental Pathways, Goodwill Industries and Easter Seals to look for employment opportunities within the fire department. The type of positions include order fulfillment in the purchasing department, janitorial and office assistance. Chief Doug Bloomquist and Engineer Jeff Pepper are spearheading the program. Currently, the SMFRA fleet staff is working with local resident Marty Williams, a 19-yearold with mental disabilities. The mentorship relationship between Williams and the crews at Station 41 was fostered two years ago when the young man pulled a fire alarm in his apartment building.

The station crew used that opportunity to coach Williams on when it was appropriate to call the fire department. Since then Williams has become a fixture in the fire station and has not only helped with tasks around the station, but is receiving educational support and training from crewmembers. From this relationship, South Metro developed the pilot program to offer individuals skills, discipline and a sense of community within the fire department. “Marty was the true inspiration for this pilot program at South Metro,” Bloomquist said. “We all recognized that Marty was capable of a lot. With the help from disability employment-placement programs and the Douglas County School Bridge program, we have been able to establish a working environment and procedures that meet Marty’s needs and we have been able to not only enhance Marty’s life, but also the lives of

all the people he interacts with at SMFRA.” The fleet staff has developed methods and accommodations that fit Williams’s needs in a professional setting, such as creating picture-guided instructions and an order-fulfillment guide. He is volunteering in the warehouse to fulfill orders for the agency and visiting fire stations to address specific needs, such as equipment organization. If other positions become available, the team will work with job-coaching professionals to develop training techniques and projects that fit the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and address the needs of the fire department. While this program is in the early stages, the goal is to enhance the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities and give back to the community.

Correction

In the Nov. 14 issue of The Villager, a caption for a photo of local political leaders taken on election night mistakenly said the group were all supporters of Littleton Public Schools’ Question 3B. While many in the photo were public backers of the school district’s bond issue, some were at Centennial’s Mellow Mushroom in support of other issues and candidates. The newspaper regrets this generalization.

‘A Christmas Carol’

County Adopt-a-Family invites holiday gift sponsors Submitted by Arapahoe County Arapahoe County’s Department of Human Services invites you to share the holiday season with local foster youth, at-risk adults and families in need. The county’s Adopt a Family Holiday giving program is seeking community members to donate new, wrapped gifts to local citizens who are referred by Human Services and who may otherwise go without gifts this year. “By signing up as a gift sponsor with Adopt-a-Family, you can help to brighten the season for neighbors who are in crisis here in our community,” county Commissioner Nancy Sharpe said. “Sponsors will receive a needs and wish list to donate gifts to a child or at-risk adult who has been a victim of abuse and neglect, or a family who is experiencing dire financial hardship.” Adopt-a-Family is a nonprofit program of the Arapahoe County Foundation that was started by county employees in 2001 to provide holiday gifts to clients in the child welfare, public assistance and child-support programs. The

program has benefited more than 5,000 individuals over the years. Now in its 12th year, Adopta-Family needs sponsors for more than 1,000 individuals by Nov. 30. Sign up as a sponsor at www.arapahoegov.com/ adoptafamily. The program coordinator will match you with a child or family whose needs and wish list fits your budget and touches your heart. The lists include basic needs, such as clothing, toiletries, household items, grocery cards and bus passes, as well as a few wishes, such as toys or games. Sponsors are asked to deliver new, wrapped gifts Dec. 2-3 to the county’s Winter Wonderland location in Aurora, or earlier by appointment. The adopted families remain anonymous due to Human Services confidentiality requirements and will pick up their gifts at a later time. Adopt-a-Family also welcomes monetary donations by check, credit card or electronic funds transfer. For more information, visit www.arapahoegov.com/ adoptafamily or call 303-6361851.

‘Paint the Town Red’ AHA Go Red for Women Luncheon draws 400 to Ritz By Glory Weisberg aint the Town Red,” the Go Red for Women Luncheon, was a heartwarming, enlightening and feather boa-filled affair, dubbed the 10th Anniversary at the Ritz, as it was at the Ritz Carlton. Irene Lofland was the chairwoman, representing DCP Midstream. The rest of the executive leadership team was business sponsored as well, with Wells Fargo, Cigna, KPMG, HealthONE, Quest Diagnostics and other firms reprevsented. Macy’s is the national sponsor for Go Red for Women. Fifteen women made up the planning committee and they did a superb job! among them: Patti Nelson, Trisha Hood, Linda Cook, Vanessa Anderson, Rachel Dehner, Victoria Diaz, Shelly Phillips, Ashley Gilbert, Saundra Beaird, Amy Dunn, Lori Pace, Julie Shayne, Leslie Zwirm, Kaby Zinke and Jacqueline Hamilton If you watch The View, you know Star Jones. What you may not know though is her history with heart problems. Three years ago, she had open heart surgery and to hear her describe it, you’d think it was a walk in the park. She later found out that her ticker was tucked away in a bowl of ice for 22 heartstopping minutes. “I used to weigh 300 pounds,” she said, while not mentioning her exact poundage now but it’s definitely nowhere close to that! In 2003 she had a weight reduction procedure. “Help stop the heart pandemic,” she told luncheon goers. She gave out some interesting numbers, such as heart disease affects 42 million women in the country, 30 percent of white women are obese and 50 percent of African American women are obese. Heart disease is often stress related and it’s 80 percent preventable, we were told. All proceeds from the luncheon and expo benefited the Denver Chapter of the American Heart Association.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide

Holiday lighting is a top trend in seasonal holiday décor.

Make your home shimmer for the holidays Submitted by ALCC Lighting makes any home festive and the process doesn’t have to be complicated. Stand out on the curb. Then look back at your home to see the features in your yard that you could easily light up this season. What might make the most impact with a few strands of lights?

Things to consider

• Trees are already a focal point in the yard, so it’s easy to take advantage of their strong presence by adding lights. • The roofline with its high pitches and bends creates dramatic interest when outlined in lights. • Garlands go everywhere. They’re not just for the family room fireplace. If you have an outdoor fireplace, deck it out with garlands and lights, too. String lighted garlands along the fence line, surrounding porch pillars or around the mailbox post. • Architectural features like a filigree gate offer unique options to get creative with lights. • Make it fun and whimsical. Wrap lights around old skis, a wheelbarrow full of evergreens or create a silhouette around a bicycle frame. Create some-

thing fun the neighbors will enjoy. Lighting shouldn’t be a budget breaker - or a fire hazard. LED technology makes lighting safer, easier and more energy efficient than traditional lights. Here are some good reasons to start replacing worn out lights with LEDs: • Safety - LEDs do not get hot like conventional lights to create a fire hazard or scorch plants. • Durability - If you are on top of a ladder and drop an LED bulb, it most likely won’t break when it hits the concrete. LEDs also last 4-5 times longer than incandescent lights so there are fewer materials used and you replace them less often over time. • Fewer outlets required - If you’ve ever searched your yard for more outlets or blown a fuse from too many lights on a circuit, LEDs are for you. You can string multiple strands of LEDs end to end and attach them to one extension cord that’s plugged into a single outlet. • Guilt-free power - No need to worry about energy consumption and power costs. The newest LEDs use about 90 percent less power than conventional lights.

Dr. Julie Prutsman Au.D., FAAA

9330 S. UNIVERSITY BLVD., SUITE 240, HIGHLANDS RANCH AND 15450 E. ORCHARD RD., CENTENNIAL

• When you place lights along the roof line, make sure you place a bulb at the points of the roof and where right angles form at the corners. • Tape over the unused plug-in at the very end of the string of lights. Wrap electrical tape over the holes in the plug to prevent moisture from getting inside and possibly creating a short. • If lighting more than one evergreen tree, wrap the lights in the same direction - such as clockwise - and make the spacing between strands on all trees consistent. This creates a uniform appearance throughout the yard. • Before taking down the lights, use duct tape and a marker to ID lights on corners and peaks and other critical places in your display. This will save assembly time next year. • Play it safe. Placing lights on very large trees and along high rooflines may not be the safest DIY project. Trained pros have the equipment and skill to do the work safely - and also the design know-how to make your display a stand-out on the street. For more information, visit www.alcc.com.

Clayton Kershaw wins 2013 Branch Rickey Award Clayton Kershaw, star pitcher of the Los Angeles Dodgers, received the 2013 Branch Rickey Award during a banquet Nov. 16 at the Marriott City Center Hotel. Kershaw, who won the National League Cy Young Award, was inducted as the 22nd member of the Baseball Humanitarians Hall of Fame at the banquet presented by AMG National Trust Bank. Created by the Rotary Club of Denver in 1991, the Branch Rickey Award honors individuals in baseball who contribute unselfishly to their communities and who are strong role models for young people. Each year, the Major League Baseball teams nominate one player from their team for this nationally acclaimed award. All of the nominees personify Rotary International’s motto, “Service Above Self.” Kershaw was chosen by a National Selection Committee, comprised of 450 members of the sports media, past award winners, baseball executives and Rotary district governors. All 30 Major League teams submitted a nominee for the award. Kershaw and his wife Ellen founded Kershaw’s Challenge, a foundation that seeks to transform

the lives of at-risk children and communities. Their cornerstone charity, “Arise Africa,” has built and sustained an orphanage in Lusaka, Zambia called “Arise Home.” The orphanage is now home to nine children who came from desperate situations. This year, their goal is to rebuild a community school in the heart of Lusaka, adding five additional classrooms and paying salaries for higher educated faculty. They are also drilling a new water well to bring fresh water to the town. Each year, the Kershaws travel to Africa to visit with the children and bring awareness to the issues of diseases and infections related to HIV and AIDS. In 2012, Clayton and Ellen co-authored Arise: Live Out Your Faith and Dreams on Whatever Field You Find Yourself, a book that chronicles their life together and trips to Africa. Kershaw’s Challenge is also involved with Sharefest in Los Angeles and Mercy Street in his hometown of Dallas, TX, both of which seek to improve the lives of at-risk youth through after-school programs and sports. Since 2011, Kershaw has been “Striking Out to Serve,” donating $500 to Kershaw’s Challenge for

each batter he strikes out. A three time All-Star, he is led the National League this season with 232 strikeouts. He also led the Major Leagues in ERA at 1.83. The late Branch Rickey, known to millions as “Mr. Baseball,” is credited with breaking the color barrier in the Major Leagues in 1945 when he signed Jackie Robinson, the first modern day AfricanAmerican player. He also hired the first Hispanic player, Roberto Clemente, in 1956. Rickey helped develop the farm system in baseball and stimulated the sport’s expansion into more cities. Always an advocate for underprivileged children, he spearheaded the development of the famous “Knot Hole Gang,” to allow kids to attend big league games. The Branch Rickey Award is a replica of The Player,” the 13-foot tall bronze sculpture that stands at the entrance to Coors Field at 20th & Blake in Denver. It was created by internationally prominent sculptor George Lundeen, and was dedicated on June 2, 2005, in celebration of Rotary International’s Centennial Year.

Arapahoe’s historical touchstones A

By Peter Jones rapahoe County may be the suburbs to some people, but to those with a nose for history, Colorado’s first and oldest county is a place with its fair share of eccentric characters, Old West sagas and 20th century rumors. While Arapahoe may not have the Golden Gate Bridge or even Golden Gate Canyon, the county boasts a range of less conspicuous features – not attractions, exactly – but novelties and odd footnotes of Colorado history. Last month, The Villager delved into the timeworn ghost stories of Littleton and discovered the ubiquitous nature of Historic Downtown’s ghouls while randomly walking into area businesses in search of homegrown apparitions. This survey of several of the county’s touchstones is not meant to be comprehensive or even a cross section of Arapahoe’s historical sites. So anyone with suggestions for future tours of the area should email them to peter@villager mediagroup.com.

Alfred Packer’s grave

Although Colorado’s infamous cannibal made his teeth marks on history in Gunnison County, Alfred Packer had his last meal closer to Littleton (by which time, he was rumored to be a vegetarian). The Civil War veteran received full military honors when he was buried at Littleton Cemetery in 1907. Colorado historian Tom Noel has conducted several postmortem mock trials of Packer – in all of which, the accused was found not guilty. “He was defended as a holistic backpacker, an environmentalist,” Noel said. “If everybody took five people up to the mountains every weekend and came back with only one, we’d have Alfred Packer, Colorado’s most notorious cannibal, is buried in Littleton Cemetery.

less congestion on I-70.” Although often called “Alferd,” the military headstone in Littleton confirms Packer’s first name was “Alfred,” though he went by both names, perhaps due to a misspelled tattoo, illiteracy or both, depending on one’s preferred legend. In 1873, Packer was in a party of 21 men who made an ill-fated trip into gold country. The unlucky prospectors met an intersection of bad luck in weather and inadequate provisions. Although details are sketchy, in part due to Packer’s varying testimony, it is clear that someone ate someone. But was it murder? In his final account, Packer said he shot fellow prospector Shannon Bell when Bell rushed him with an axe after he had already killed and roasted the other 19 men. A decade later, Packer was discovered living under an alias in Cheyenne, Wyo. He was soon tried and found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to death. His sentence was later reduced to 40 years before he was paroled. Judge M.B. Gerry was rumored to have said from the bench, in some version of colloquial slang: “When you came to Hinsdale County, there was seven Democrats. But you ate five of ‘em, goddam you. I sentence you to be hanged by the neck until you’re dead, dead, dead, as a warning against reducing the Democratic population of this county. Packer, you Republican cannibal, I would sentence you to hell, but the statutes forbid it.” The quote is dubious, Noel says, while confessing his own disappointment in that fact. “Unfortunately, it’s not true,” he said, “although that’s the best, most memorable line [in the Packer story].” As a free man, Packer eventually Packer built a shack in Sheridan after being paroled. He died in 1907.

wound up living in a shack in the city of Sheridan adjacent to Littleton, where he would travel to get supplies. He died in Jefferson County at the age of 65.

Cherokee Trail

For four decades of the 19 century, the Cherokee Trail was a major transit into Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming. More than 120 years later, the stretch from Parker into Centennial is still a significant hub as evidenced by the busy and nowredesigned intersection of Parker and Arapahoe roads. The trail’s route ran from Oklahoma northwest to Kansas. From there, it followed the Santa Fe Trail west, turned north along the base of the Front Range and

sloped along Cherry Creek into the valley of the South Platte River. The Cherokee Trail was one of many in a network of trails that helped move ambitious easterners into the untamed West. Parts of the trail are still walkable in Arapahoe, Douglas and Larimer counties and drivable on High-

way 83 from Parker to Colorado Springs. The 17-Mile House in presentday Centennial served both the Cherokee Trail and the intersecting Smoky Hill Trail. The 1800s watering hole was so-named because it was 17 miles from the intersection of Broadway and Colfax Avenue in Denver. Of the

original houses, only the 17-Mile and the 3-Mile House in Glendale – both in Arapahoe County – still stand. Despite the name of the Cherokee Trail, there have probably been far more traffic accidents on today’s Indian-themed Arapahoe Road than there were Indian attacks on the old Cherokee Trail. “I can’t think of any attacks of record,” Noel said. “There were probably a few, but there were far more people killed by accidental gunfire than by Indians. The myth of Indians invading a wagon train happened mostly in Hollywood.”

Gothic Theater

Although Englewood’s Gothic Theater is best known today for hosting the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, the Cranberries and Blue

Oyster Cult, the historic art-deco venue was first known for sounds of another kind. It was the first movie theater in metro Denver to show “talkies,” or the early sound films of Al Jolson, Walt Disney and many others in the 1920s. Then in the 1940s, the Gothic was sold and the exterior façade was altered to keep up to date with World War II-era preferences. It would not be the last time that the theater would be renovated and reinvented for new generations, the first of whom would spend all of 10 cents for a full day of entertainment. Longtime Englewood resident Doug Cohn, a member of the Englewood Historical Society, remembers spending many of his Saturdays in the Gothic, watching a range of Westerns, comedies and action fare in the 1950s. “When I got there, inflation had hit, so it was 50 cents for two movies and the cartoons. That was serious money. I think the balcony was the cheap seats,” he said. Among the stars in the Gothic’s heyday was Englewood’s hometown boy Marshall Reed, who often played the black-hatted villain in B westerns. Born in Englewood in 1917, Reed took odd jobs as a meter reader, mail clerk and horse trader before getting his start at the Elitch Gardens theater and moving to Hollywood. He was reportedly considered for the part of the Lone Ranger. In one of his last interviews, Reed recalled shooting gunfights during the primitive era when the Gothic specialized in his brand of low-budget cinema. “[We] were about to go under a huge limb of a big oak tree when I heard ‘zing!’ It turned out it was the first time one of the new kids was involved in a picture, and he brought his own gun and ammunition. He was shooting real bullets,” Reed

recalled. “The minute I heard the ‘zing’ I knew something was for real. …They took the young man right off the picture, and he was never heard from in pictures again.” By the 1970s, as older standalone theaters that had once specialized in such fare fell victim to the multiplex, the Gothic eventually became a favorite spot for low-rent punk and heavy metal concerts. By the 1990s, the theater had more than a few battle scars from the resulting abuse. The Gothic was on the brink of condemnation in 1998 when several friends purchased the building and renovated it from top to bottom. A premier venue for the Colorado music scene was born.

Cherry Hills Country Club

Yes, the Cherry Hills Country Club, founded in 1922, has hosted eight U.S. Golf Association championships, including the U.S. Open in 1938, 1960 and 1978, and has welcomed the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino and Phil Mickelson. But the real question – is this south metro golfing institution really where the celebrated Arnold Palmer drink was first concocted? Reportedly, Palmer once said that it was on the occasion of one of those all-star U.S. Opens in Cherry Hills that he first ordered

his preferred beverage – the one that famously mixed iced tea with lemonade. As legend had it, a nearby woman supposedly overheard Palmer ask for the drink, turned to her waiter and asked for “that Palmer drink.” In a more recent documentary for ESPN, the iconic golfer told a variation on the story that moved the setting to a scorching hot day in Palm Springs, Calif. “All of a sudden, the waiter went over to another table and the lady at the table said, ‘I want an Arnold Palmer’ … From that day on, it spread like wildfire.” The world may never know the truth. But for now, I’ll just take an Arnold Palmer, please.

Englewood’s own Marshall Reed starred as a black-hatted villain in many of the Westerns to play the Gothic.

Arapahoe High School singers entertain at dinner theater performance By Tom Barry Every two years, the performing arts department of Arapahoe High School provides an exceptional evening of entertainment for families and the community. The highly talented musicians and singers performed under the direction of Kelly Parmenter. For more than 32 years, Parmenter has actively worked with teenaged musicians and singers to bring out their best in numerous performances throughout the school year. On Nov. 15 and 16, Arapahoe students provided a full night of entertainment and an Italian dinner from Luigi’s restaurant in Centennial. Each of the two performances sold out quickly at $20 per show, as the venue was limited to 160 guests. The school’s cafeteria was transformed into a dinner theater with round tables adorned with white tablecloths, fresh flower

Kelly Parmenter organized and produced the Arapahoe High special dinner theater performance.

vases, ceramic plates, cloth napkins and silverware.

Music, dinner, laughter and applause

The evening began with the formally attired musicians in the String Orchestra performing upbeat renditions of Broadway classics. The tunes ranged from Edelweiss to Seventy Six Trombones to the finale of Cabaret. The talented orchestra was under the capable direction of Parmenter. Following the orchestra’s performance, the Choralettes dressed in two-tone maroon colored long dresses served as waitresses, providing drinks and desserts to the guests. Luigi’s Karmen Coxe, the owner of the restaurant, and her staff catered the special event. The well-rehearsed Choralettes then took to the raised stage to perform for the audience. Their exceptional harmonized voices were complemented by their dramatic gestures and facial expressions, which enthralled the captivated audience. The top-notch singers performed an array of songs including Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?, and a fun and lively melody of a relatively new tune, Taylor, the Latte Boy. In the song about the Barista, each of the girls dramatically and cleverly expressed their true love, as they were singing to the smiles and applause of the guests.

Arapahoe singers perform the Gilbert and Sullivan comedic opera Trial by Jury. Many of the singers after changing into time-period attire joined young men on the stage who were wearing old-fashioned suits for the evening’s play. Disguises, a costume superstore, provided many of the period attire pieces. The singers combined their exceptional dramatic prowess and performed the Gilbert and Sullivan classic Trial by Jury play. This operatic comedy captured the regular laughter and applause of the enthralled guests. Parmenter after her enduring hours of working with the student performers sat quietly in the back after conducting the orchestra. “The students get an incredible sense of community, the dinner theater gives us an opportunity to do a smaller cast show in a more intimate setting,” said Parmenter. There are 280 students in her choir and orchestra. “This is a class project and when they auditioned for the choir last spring, they also audi-

tioned for the show,” said Parmenter. The performing arts students will offer a variety of venues for the remainder of the school year, including Fiddler on the Roof, April 17 – 19.

“The pure talent was absolutely amazing,” said Hannah Stephens, a former Arapahoe singer, who attended the event with her husband Nathan. “You could tell they put a lot of efforts into their performance, for a high school, its top notch.”

MAKES A GREAT GIFT

The Ford C-Max is fully equipped with every electronic feature and listed at $36,825.

New Ford C-Max earns 43 mpg By H. Throttle I really wasn’t aware that Ford has a very good competitor for the Chevrolet Volt. Ford presented me with its C-Max Energi vehicle this month that runs for 100 miles on electricity; and makes 42 mpg on the 2.0L engine. What a great compact car that holds five passengers, runs down the road like a jet plane, and passes every gasoline station between Denver and Grand Junction. Making a jaunt over the mountains gave this driver a chance to see how the C-Max handles on mountain roads and on icy highways. It’s equipped with great window wipers front and rear to wipe away those early winter snowflakes. Encountering some snow and ice, I never spun a tire and the transmission has a “climb” option

that allows the four-cylinder engine more power linked to a variable speed transmission. As usual, Ford engineers have developed a great hybrid vehicle that is practical, economical and fun to drive. This is a fast car, sleek in design, but fair to say that the winds along the Front Range made this driver grasp the leather wrapped steering wheel tightly as those high winds whipped cars and trucks on Floyd Hill climbing out of the metro area. The C-Max is heavy and with a full tank of gas and the batterypowered system, one could feel a low center of gravity and the weight of the vehicle. Batteries operate off lead and that means extra weight that Ford engineers had to deal with to get a firm ride and optimum fuel mileage. Because of the electric package, the ride is slightly different. This comes from the seat of the pants feeling the car suspension system dealing with the low cen-

ter of gravity and the extra weight from the fuel cells. Since the C-Max can make 42 miles running on the gasoline motor a buyer might ask, “Why have the electric power feature?” However, the fact sheet relates that using the electric power option can save $6,850 in gasoline costs in a year’s time. This C-Max was fully equipped with every electronic feature and listed at $36,825. No doubt Ford has this same vehicle without the “Energi” fuel charge system at a much lower price, if they don’t they should. The attractive design was dressed in “Ice Storm” metallic paint so fitting for a drive through ski country where the snowflakes were arriving. I liked this vehicle a lot and it just is a great workhorse capable of a great daily commute or a cross–country trip and the leather seats were very comfortable. Learn more about this great mileage machine at your local Ford dealer.

Spreading Wings Gala draws supporters, scientists for fascinating agenda

Catering by Design owner Ingrid Nagy and Gunner Hencmann

reatures of the Cosmos, the Wings Over the Rockies Spreading Wings Gala, drew more than 600 supporters who came hoping to meet and greet former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who was also slated to participate in a discussion of critical issues facing America’s future in space. But Aldrin was ill and was unable to attend. The gala went forward without the space pioneer with Space Foundation CEO Elliot Pulham who moderated a discussion with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson who was appointed to President George W. Bush’s 12-person commission to study this topic and why we as a nation, need to “Reach for the Stars.” The event was supported by United Launch Alliance and its President and CEO Michael Gass. Among the lettered guests were Greg Johnson, retired colonel and executive director of CASIS, the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space; Lesa Roe, the director of NASA’s Langley Research Center and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman. Greg Anderson, president and CEO of Wings Over the Rockies, also spoke. Board chairman Jeff Puckett was a welcoming figure, popular not only for his management skills but for his people skills as well. Also there was astronaut Scott Carpenter’s widow, Patty Carpenter, glowing as the late Mercury astronaut was given a heart-warming tribute. There were videos of the space flights and the heroism by Carpenter who had to land his spacecraft manually after automated flight data failed. When it happened TV

Let the Denver Zoo/ Colfax Marathon bring out the animal in you

OK, this press release is so funny, we’re keeping parts of it as Tiffany Barnhart sent it, so enjoy. The Kaiser Permanente Colfax 13.1 mile half marathon will run through the Denver Zoo for the second year in a row. The Denver Zoo has entered into an exclusive partnership with the Colfax Marathon, establishing the Colfax Half Marathon as the only race to run through the zoo. The half marathon sold out in 2013 and the 2014 race is Sunday, May 18, 2014. The one mile trek through the zoo takes runners past Predator Ridge, where they pass the world’s fastest

land animal, the cheetah. Runners pass through Toyota Elephant Passage, Malayan Tapirs and the greater one-horned rhino. The rhino was a hit with runners in 2012, running alongside them through the 10-acre exhibit! “This race is a celebration of all the unique things about the Mile High City,” said race CEO, Andrea Dowdy. “There are only a few races in the country that run through a zoo.” More than 14,000 athletes participate in the race. The event awards a $1,000 prize to runners who set a new event record in the men’s and women’s half marathon and an additional $1,000 for setting a new state record. “The Colfax Marathon is an event that the city goes ape for every year,” said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock. “With the half marathon race snaking through the Denver Zoo, runners will get to enjoy a lion’s share of racing fun in one of Denver’s greatest cultural gems.” Now here’s where you’ve just got to break a smile: Runners pass one of the fastest animals on earth: the cheetah. Cheetahs can accelerate to 45 mph in two seconds and can attain a top speed of 70 mph over short distances. Humans’ top speed is 27 mph. Elephants can run 25 mph. Go for it, you animal lovers.

The University of Colorado Cancer Center at the Anschutz Medical Campus held a reception at the Tiffany store in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center Nov. 14. The purpose was to describe recent groundbreaking research at the center, which is rapidly becoming one of the top cancer centers in the country. Director Dr. Dan Theodorescu and Deputy Director Dr. Andrew Thornburn discussed some of the advanced research being undertaken at the center. They did this in terms that the non-technical attendees could easily understand. One project involved being able to do DNA analysis on tumors and as a result being able to see the effect specific drugs are having on the tumor. Some of this work is being done in conjunction with the veterinary medicine department at Colorado State University. It turns out that dogs suffer from similar forms of cancer and react to anti-cancer drugs much the same as humans. We are very lucky to have the CU Cancer Center with its top quality doctors in our midst. One does not have to leave town anymore to get the best cancer care available. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Cherry Creek turnovers sour playoff loss to Cherokee Trail By Tom Barry The anticipation was high and the parking spaces few and far between in the third round playoff game between Cherry Creek and cross-district rival Cherokee Trail, Nov. 15. The two rivals attracted over 3,000 fans to the Stutler Bowl on a perfect night for football. The fan base continued to grow as the first period began, as both groups loudly supported their respective teams. Even though the band season was officially over, both the Bruins and Cougars each mustered up a handful of musicians to liven up the high-spirited teams and their fan base. The Bruins came out flat on the offensive side, as they were unable to get anything going in the air or on the ground. Creek’s defense held its own against the highly ranked competitor. The Cougars on the other side of the ball had a 64-yard rushing gain by Cameron Smith and scored a touchdown in the first quarter. In the second quarter, their quarterback Aric Johnson rushed for 18 yards and a TD.

Visions of championship vanished

The halftime entertainment featured Creek poms that delighted fans in another lively artistic performance. A handful of band members in the percussion section wearing colorful t-shirts pounded on their drums and rang their symbols that pleased the home team crowd. In the third quarter, a rejuve-

nated team came out, as Creek’s nationally-ranked running back Nathan Starks ran for 68 yards and a TD. In the final quarter, Cherokee Trail’s Johnson ran in for two yards and another score. Creek’s Milo Hall than had a short run that put another TD on the board. After Creek’s QB Cameron Brucker threw an interception, the Cougars capitalized and sealed the Bruins’ fate with another score. “If you want to live your dream, calm down and execute,” said Creek’s Austin Roper, a senior offensive lineman on the sidelines motivating teammates. In frustration, as the writing was on the wall toward the end of the game, several top Bruins players were clearly upset on the sidelines. After the game, the players stuck around as families, students and friends came to support the Creek players after a tough loss. The playoff game was marked by four turnovers for Creek that Cherokee Trail took advantage of. The Bruins were penalized for 65 yards, while the Cougars had 20 yards in penalties. Creek was also plagued by five interceptions. The Bruins had beat the Cougars in a regular season league match up. Creek finished their season with 10 wins and two losses. Next week, Fairview will pair up with ThunderRidge, while Valor Christian will challenge Cherokee Trail. The championship 5A football game will be held at Sports Authority Field at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Flicking the ‘Switch’

Jeff Keener, chair of the Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure Council of the South Metro Denver Chamber, leads a post-screening discussion of Switch, a 2012 documentary outlining various options for the nation’s energy future. The brief question-and-answer period on Nov. 15 was not without controversy with a brief debate on global warming and a vigorous defense of hydraulic fracturing by chamber CEO John Brackney, as some in Colorado have called for a complete ban of the controversial practice. “I firmly believe that we’ve got great opportunities ahead of us in an all-of-the-above policy, and I think it’s very, very scary that we’re on the edge of doing something really stupid,” Brackney said.

Coquette participates in Dolls for Daughters and Toys for Boys Nov. 21

More than 3,000 needy children to receive new toys, gifts

It started as one mother’s grieving response to the death of a daughter and has grown into one of Denver’s largest holiday events serving needy children. More than 3,000 children will receive new toys and other gifts Dec. 7 at the 4th Annual Dolls for Daughters and Toys for Boys Toy Shop at Montclair International School, 206 North Red Cross Way, Denver. Doors will open at 9 a.m. and close at 5 p.m. or when all toys are gone. Each child will receive a new (not used) toy, a new book, a new toothbrush/toothpaste kit and a stocking and stocking stuffer. This

year’s book was commissioned by Dolls for Daughters founder Jessica Bachus and is the imagined story of what the life of the daughter she lost might have been like had she lived – complete with how she deals with a disability she would have had. Dolls for Daughters was founded in 2007 after Jessica Bachus’ daughter Kenzi was stillborn at 24 weeks. Jessica collected more than 150 dolls the first year and the number of needy children receiving new toys has increased every year since then. Bachus and her husband have three other children. “Last year we served 3,100 children,” Bachus said. “This year our goal is to serve 3,200 children.” More than 450 volunteers will be on hand to help – including representatives from Hunger Free Colorado, Food Bank of the Rockies,

KIND Smiles (which provides dental work for needy families), The Denver Shoe Crew, Denver Health and Human Services and Comcast Internet Essentials (which provides low-cost Internet to families). To participate, families must show a birth certificate for each child they want to receive a toy. Birth certificates from anywhere are accepted and are required even for children who are present. No exceptions will be made and other forms of identification, such as Social Security cards or school IDs, won’t be accepted. Coquette, a women’s boutique in Cherry Creek North, 3003 E. 3rd Ave. will be collecting donations in the store on Thursday, Nov. 21, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

SSPRD earns award Submitted by SSPRD At the annual conference of the Special District Association of Colorado, Sept. 18-20, South Suburban Parks and Recreation District was honored with SDA’s 2013 Collaboration Award for its long history of successful collaboration with local governments and agencies. South Suburban has enjoyed strong relationships with Arapahoe County, and the cities of Centennial, Littleton, Sheridan and Lone Tree. The District has also partnered with the South Platte Working Group, Great Outdoors Colorado, and the Highline Canal Working Group, among others. By working together through partnerships, South Suburban is able to secure funding to complete projects sooner for parks, trails and open space. Recent examples of collaboration between South Suburban and the City of Lone Tree include the Cook Creek Tennis Courts and the Lone Tree Tennis Center. South Suburban provided the land and provides operation and maintenance of the facilities and Lone Tree provided funding for the

construction of the projects. South Suburban worked with the City of Centennial on Phase 1 and 2 of the Centennial Link Trail, which is an east to west trail that connects Centennial neighborhoods to the regional trail network at the High Line Canal. South Suburban is moving forward with the design and construction of Phase 3 of the project, which will complete the extension of the trail to join with the Holly Open Space. And South Suburban recently worked with the City of Littleton on Mary Carter Greenway East Bank Trail Phase 1, Ohlson Acres Open Space Acquisition on the High Line Canal, and master plans for Lee Gulch Overlook, Creekside Experience and Oxbow Point Parks. South Suburban Park and Recreation District was formed in 1959 and currently serves 140,000 residents in the cities of Littleton, Sheridan, Columbine Knolls, Bow Mar, Lone Tree, and western Centennial, and unincorporated portions of Douglas, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties.

Heritage senior wins award SMA Robotics team qualifies for Regionals Students head to Arkansas Dec. 6-7

Heritage High School senior Grecia Portillo was recently surprised during her government class when she was presented with the Colorado Parks and Recreation Teen Team Summit scholarship that she may use at any post-secondary institution. Portillo is the president of the Englewood Youth Leadership Council and helps to coordinate various events and projects for the Englewood Recreation District. Robert Franklin from the CSU Extension Office presented the scholarship

The eight-member St. Mary’s Academy all-girls robotics team did the extraordinary - they qualified for Regionals in their first year of competition. This is the first all-girls robotic team to compete in the Rocky Mountain BEST (Boosting Engineering, Science and Technology) Competition since its inception in 1993. They knew they could achieve this, however, not many first-year teams can assert this accolade. Their mission statement successfully describes our robotic girls: “To engage, excite, and inspire students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math through participation in a sports-like science and engineering-based robotics competition.” After their nearly 10-hour day from load-in to the awards presentation, the SMA team had participated in eight matches resulting in 15th place for the GAME Awards, the robotics portion of the qualification. However, since they finished second in the BEST Presentation and Project Engineering Notebook qualification, they were invited into the Wild Card competition. Their Wild Card result moved them up to 10th place. At the end of the day when all of the points were added, St. Mary’s Academy Robotics Team was fourth in the overall BEST competition paving the way for Regionals in December. Six teams from the Rocky Mountain BEST hub are invited to attend the competition at the Fort

Balfour at Riverfront Park is redefining retirement living Balfour at Riverfront Park is redefining retirement living. The $74 million master planned senior living community is currently under construction in the heart of Denver’s Riverfront Park neighborhood. With resort amenities in a downtown location, Balfour will offer seniors an elegant, urban choice. “Until now, seniors have had limited options for downtown living. With a 17-acre park on one side and the city on the other, Balfour at Riverfront Park will be a unique property—not only in the state, but nationally as well,” said Michael Schonbrun, CEO and founder of Balfour Senior Living. “This community will be a safe, comfortable, ‘urban resort’ where residents can live elegantly, enjoy the activity of the city, gather family and friends, and enjoy life.” Balfour at Riverfront Park will offer the amenities and attentive staff that are expected from any fine resort. The community will have a wide range of services including 24/7 full concierge services, a roving fleet of town cars, fine dining experiences with daily and seasonal specials, exercise and fitness classes, an on-site physician office and a saltwater pool and spa with steam rooms and treatment rooms. Residents

can also enjoy a full calendar of social events, educational and cultural programming, and take in park and mountain views during Happy Hours in the penthouse Skybar. In addition to these amenities, the community is designed to meet residents’ changing health care needs. Based on the concept of a continuum of care, the 205 independent living, assisted living, and memory care apartment-homes allow residents to “age in place” and maintain their relationships with staff and other residents without having to leave the Balfour community. When Balfour opens its doors in the summer of 2014, residents will be welcomed home to a community that spared no detail in its construction and design. Just inside the main entrance will be the fully renovated Moffat Depot, which will serve as a 2,100 square foot Great Room. The interior design and artwork throughout the community will draw on an eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional classics. Reservations are currently being accepted.
