Time flies when you’re making history 2016 was more than a presidential election year in Arapahoe County. In addition to the surprise upset by Donald Trump—preceded by a three-way GOP protest in Greenwood Village—the year saw re-evaluation of the “purple” 6th Congressional District when Rep. Mike Coffman held onto his seat, again—this time, safely—despite a challenge from a high-profile Colorado Democrat. Like its predecessor, 2016 was another year of healing, as the powers that be continued to grapple with “what ifs,” in the years-on aftermath of a tragic school shooting. While two local school districts unsuccessfully battled charter schools, the public learned a thing or two about history and civil rights in movies

with strong local “characters.” Meanwhile, 15-year-old Centennial continued its role as a 21st century city with unequivocal jumps into a high-tech city-run business, a forward-thinking transportation solution and the building of a national reputation that belies Centennial’s relative youth. Two cities lost managers— one by resignation, the other by firing—while controversial issues of urban renewal and highdensity development played out in the regional backdrop. Here is a month-by-month retrospective on the year in Arapahoe County: January • Nicolle Davies, thenexecutive director of Arapahoe Library District, is named Librarian of the Year by Library Journal, the first in Colorado to earn the designation. “Nicolle brings both a strength of leadership and a refreshing spirit that is exciting for libraries and transformative for her commu-

nity,” the magazine wrote. In July, Davies accepts a similar position with the Charleston, S.C. library system. • Attorney Cole Wist gets the nod from a Republican vacancy committee to serve as a state representative for Centennial’s House District 37 after another vacancy committee taps Rep. Jack Tate to fill a vacant state Senate seat. • The National Football Foundation announces that onetime south Aurora resident Herb Orvis would be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. The retired University of Colorado Buff later played for the Detroit Lions and the Baltimore Colts. • A report from the University of Colorado’s Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence documents significant faults in Littleton Public Schools’ response to the 2013 murder of student Claire Davis at Arapahoe High School. “There were many missed opportunities to share information

about and intervene with [the shooter] …” The school district announces a series of policy changes in relation to these and other expert recommendations. February • State Rep. Daniel Kagan, DCherry Hills Village, introduces legislation to protect whistleblowers in school districts and other local governments. “The Claire Davis situation is yet another example of violations of public policy going on and people being intimidated from coming forward,” Kagan said. • A court upholds a decision by Arapahoe County Assessor Corbin Sakdol that the City of Aurora cannot delay taxincrement financing to property owners by as much as three years in a newly-designated urban-renewal area. Sakdol had been sued by the city. Later, a judge affirms another unpopular Sakdol decision about an urbanrenewal site in Littleton. Continued on page 3

A good cabin-fever story about our lovely snow

It seems, historically, whenever the National Western Stock Show arrives, the bitter cold weather comes right along with the fancy livestock, horses, sheep and chickens. The recent snow has been minor compared to cold snaps that put the temperature into minus degrees across the state. Skiers are reporting awesome snow at all the Colorado ski slopes, and it will again be a bumper year for our mountain ski towns and avid skiers. If you play in the snow, it warms up the winter and brings cheering when the white powder arrives. If one doesn’t ski, the snow means snarled traffic, slippery streets and snow shoveling, but also water for the grass and trees next summer. New residents continue to trek to Colorado to live, work and play in our great state. Many new apartment buildings dot the skyline around the metro area. The following is a little reminder that we have published before about the experience of one new couple who moved to the Colorado mountains: “Why We Live by the Ocean in California” (author and source unknown) Dec. 8, 6 p.m. A personal log: It started to snow. The first snow of the season, and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So romantic,

we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow! Dec. 9: We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic sight! Can there be a lovelier place in the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I’ve ever had! Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again. I did both our driveway and the sidewalks. This afternoon, the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again. What a perfect life! Dec. 12: The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a disappointment. My neighbor tells me not to worry—we’ll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on Christmas would be awful. Bob says we’ll have so much snow by the end of winter that I’ll never want to see snow again. I don’t think that’s possible. Bob is such a nice man. I’m glad he’s our neighbor. Dec. 14: Snow, lovely snow. Eight inches last night. The temperature dropped to 20 below zero. The cold makes everything sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again. I didn’t realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I’ll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish I wouldn’t huff and puff so much. Dec. 15: Twenty inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife’s car and two extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that’s silly. We aren’t in Alaska, after all. Dec. 16: Storm this morning. Fell on my rear on the ice in the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like heck. The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.

Dec. 17: Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go anywhere. Electricity was off for five hours. I had to pile blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I should’ve bought a woodstove, but won’t admit it to her. God, I hate it when she’s right. I can’t believe I’m freezing to death in my own living room. Dec. 20: Electricity’s back on, but I had another 14 inches of the stuff last night. More shoveling. Took all day. The darn snowplow came by twice. Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they’re too busy playing hockey. I think they’re lying. Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they’re out. Might have another shipment in March. I think they’re lying. Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me. I think he’s lying. Dec. 22: Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white stuff fell today and it’s so cold. It probably won’t melt till August. Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up warm to go out to shovel and then I had to go to the bathroom. By the time I got undressed and then dressed again, I was too tired to shovel. Tried to hire Bob, who has a plow his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he’s too busy. I think he’s lying. Dec. 23: Only two inches of snow today. And it warmed up to zero. The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house for Christmas morning. What is she, nuts? Why didn’t she tell me to do that a month ago? She says she did, but I think she’s lying. Dec. 24: Six inches of snow packed so hard by snowplow, broke the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I ever catch the guy who drives that snowplow, I’ll drag him through the snow and beat him to death with my broken shovel. I know he hides around

the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street 100 miles an hour and throws the snow all over where I’ve just been. Tonight, the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was to busy watching for the snowplow. Dec. 25: Merry yucky Christmas! Twenty more inches of the slop tonight— snowed in. The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. I hate snow! Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife says I have a bad attitude. I think she’s an idiot. If I have to watch It’s a Wonderful Life one more time, I’m going to stuff her into the microwave. Dec. 26: Still snowed in. Why the heck did I ever move here? It was all HER idea. She’s really getting on my nerves. Dec. 27: Temperature dropped to 30 degrees below zero and the pipes froze. Plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him. He only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes. Dec. 28: Warmed up to above 20 below zero. Still snowed in. My wife is driving me crazy. Dec. 29: Ten more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in. That’s the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am? Dec. 30: Roof caved in. I beat up the snowplow driver, and now he is suing me for $1 million, not only for the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up his posterior. The wife went home to her mother. Nine more inches predicted. Dec. 31: I set fire to what’s left of the house. No more shoveling. Jan. 8: Feel so good. I just love those little white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the bed?

Remembering the war in winter ‘44

BY MORT REMARKS MARKS

I’m writing this column in December 2016, but my thoughts have rolled back to another December 72 years ago. Dec. 16, 1944 was the historic day when weeks of fighting started—a battle that many people will never forget. Even though the events occurred 72 years ago, memories still keep them alive. That particular day started out as just another one in a long series of monotonous war days. Oh, yes. I’m well aware that today’s TV shows, books and movies generally portray wars as being an endless drama of noise, excitement and death, but in reality, one of the worst things about war is its monotony. The “hurry up and wait” system that prevailed during the winter of 1944, with its never-ending monotony of days, weeks and months of bad

weather and wet clothes, was taking its effect on the U.S. Army, and especially on the infantry troops in Europe. On that miserable day, the 16th of December, just when the First Army had lulled itself into a false sense of security brought on by monotony, the German Army struck through the fog-clouded Ardennes. Hitler had ordered three of his crack armies, under command of the veteran Von Rundstat, to launch a surprise attack over a 75-mile-wide front. These three German battle-tested armies, which consisted of 10 experienced tank divisions and 14 similar infantry ones, hit this freezing snowcovered area then held by only five U.S. divisions. Unfortunately, these five divisions were manned by young and inexperienced combat soldiers. In fact, these newly-arrived troops who manned our First Army’s Infantry Divisions were sarcastically referred to as the “whiz kids.” This was the ole sarges’ expression for the thousands of 18-year-olds who had suddenly been yanked off a college campus’s A S.T.P. (Army Specialized Training Programs) and rushed to fill the many holes in our combat infantry on that particular battlefront. Suddenly without warning on that December day, a million men were engaged in a bitter chaotic struggle that would last for weeks. Two great gaps were quickly torn into the American lines. Several of the divisions manned by these inexperienced young men

were overrun and scattered. This surprise German counterattack, gambling on capturing American gasoline supplies, ammunition and winter clothing, seemed to be off to a highly successful beginning. All elements favored the German push. Even the weather cooperated with them. For endless days, the snow continued to fall and the dense fog just hung on and on and on. These weather factors prevented our Air Force from attacking the advancing German tanks or strafing the enemy’s infantry columns. The German objective to recapture the key cities of Liege and Antwerp seemed within their grasp. With the smell of victory close to fulfillment, the Germans lost all sense of decency or righteousness—if these two words can be used at all in connection to the Germans of the ‘40s. By wearing captured American uniforms, they were able to masquerade as American G.I.s and wreak havoc behind our lines while simultaneously capturing key company personnel. Normal rules of war were discarded by those Germans, who at Malmedey actually murdered the U.S. prisoners they had captured. Although our American casualties and deaths continued to mount as the enemy rolled on, there slowly developed a split in the German advance. Our 7th Armored Division held on grimly to the town of St. Vith. But during these terrible days, no valor was

displayed more openly than in a small and previously unheard of city of Bastogne. Here, a small group of gallant men from the 101st Airborne Division defied and held back the German advance. Even though they were completely surrounded and death was imminent, they refused to surrender. Maj. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe, their commander, answered the Germans’ demand for surrender with but one word, “Nuts.” Our First Army was now able to regroup and turned south back to block the Germans’ way to Liege. Meanwhile, Gen. Patton was able to defy all logistical odds and move his entire 3rd Army from Luxembourg into the battle zone. Two days before Christmas, Dec. 23, 1944, the weather cleared and our Air Force began wrecking German tanks and trucks inside the Bulge. By Christmas Day the tide of war had turned, and in early January the German troops finally broke and retreated. They lost more than 600 tanks and suffered more than 90,000 casualties. This 2016 holiday season, while you are enjoying the freedoms of our country to celebrate all that you cherish and hold dear, stop for one moment! Stop to remember the 77,000 Allied casualties and the19,246 American men who died 72 holiday seasons ago to make yours possible this year.

The old in New Year’s traditions SLICES OF LIFE BY JILL PERTLER

New Year’s Day is perhaps the most celebrated holiday around the world. There’s a universal appeal to newness, so the first day of a new year is a natural cause for a party. People have been celebrating the beginning of a new year for at least four millennia (or 28,000 dog

years). Some of the first recorded celebrations were in Babylon. Then, the holiday was observed in March, during the first new moon following the vernal equinox. It was an 11-day celebration, making it New Year’s Week (and a half), as opposed to New Year’s Day. During those 11 days, partying and parading in the streets (as I’m assuming the Babylonians did), celebrants made promises to the gods in order to earn their favor. Thus, the concept of New Year’s resolutions was born. Julius Caesar gave a lot of deep thought to the concept of calendars and is credited with moving New Year’s Day to Jan. 1 somewhere around the year 46 B.C. Romans celebrated by exchanging gifts, decorating their homes, attending raucous parties, offering sacrifices to Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, and of course, wearing togas.

Different countries have different New Year’s traditions. Some are logical. Others, not so much. In some South American countries, the color of your underwear is thought to determine your fate for the upcoming year. Red indicates love. Gold brings wealth. White signifies peace. (Brown or yellow means it’s time to change your underwear.) In Switzerland, they drop ice cream on the floor. I’d rather just eat it. Less mess to clean up and less waste of a good scoop of ice cream. In Siberia, people jump into frozen lakes while carrying tree trunks (and presumably wearing swim trunks). Sounds logical. Residents of Denmark throw plates at the front doors of the homes of friends and family to bring everyone good luck. Going barefoot in Denmark on Jan. 1 would be bad luck. In Spain, they eat grapes to ward off evil. I wonder

if drinking fermented grapes counts. Here in the United States, we celebrate the new year with various traditions including waiting for the ball to drop in Times Square, popping a champagne cork at midnight, engaging in a midnight kiss, watching college football and staying up past our bedtimes. Eating black-eyed beans is a New Year’s tradition in many homes, especially in the South. The beans are thought to symbolize coins and are eaten to ensure economic prosperity in the coming year. We don’t eat black-eyed beans at my house. We make oyster stew. I think my husband initiated the practice. He likes oysters. I’d never tasted them before meeting him. Now it’s become our own tradition. In the United States, it’s more common to eat oyster stew on Christmas Eve. I suppose we could do both, but I’m not sure we’re quite that fond of

oysters. Jan. 1, 2017. We are ushering in a new year with new possibilities. We tend to like things that are new. A new car. New phone. New house. New look. A new tradition, like oyster stew on New Year’s Eve. I’m willing to try just about anything, including drinking fermented grapes, kissing at midnight and wearing bright underwear. All’s new that ends new, as they say. But I draw the line at jumping into a frozen lake with a tree trunk. I’ll save that one until next year. Or maybe the next.

Sheridan steps up preventive policing at River Point Almost all crime eliminated, police say BY TOM BARRY CONTRIBUTOR During the holiday season, tens of thousands of customers from neighboring communities came to River Point shopping center in Sheridan. Due to the increased traffic, police stepped up patrol from Black Friday through Christmas Eve. “Generally, I feel safe in the area, although seeing the presence of the officers from the Sheridan Police Department is very comforting,” said Carrie Hames, who went to River Point last week with her 5-year-old daughter Stella.

the Reflections and Resolutions: 2016 in review at Glendale Sports Center BY JOHN ARTHUR As 2016 draws to a close, people across the world take a reflective look at the past twelve months. Our lives, rich and complete as they are, have never been busier, our calendars never so full, time rushing by faster than ever before. As the hustle and bustle of 2016 moves into our collective past, we recognize the importance of ourselves, and of maintaining an active, healthy relationship with our bodies and the communities in which we live and work. Glendale Sports Center, a cornerstone of the city’s Infinity Park, brings together personal physical fitness and healthy community involvement. Located within the Infinity Park complex, Glendale Sports Center has been the centerpiece of a healthy Glendale community since opening in 2008. Managed by the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver, the facility features world-class amenities, including state-of-the-art TechnoGym equipment, free weights, indoor

cycling, and exercise studios. Outdoor tennis courts, elliptical and treadmill trainers, and a basketball court, alongside extensive programming for youth, teen, and

adult members of all ages, round out the Sports Center’s considerable offerings. Glendale Sports Center is far more than just a gym – it’s a pillar of Glendale’s community health. What separates Glendale Sports Center from other gyms is the facility’s philosophy on tackling fitness. With a welcoming, inclusive approach centered on programming, Glendale Sports Center transcends the traditional workout. As member Megan Shirley puts it, “Glendale Sports Center provides me a great, friendly environment where I can not only work out, but also meet new people and get involved in activities. I love the diverse selection of fitness classes offered.” 2016 saw more class and program offerings than ever before, all of which continue to be included with membership. Teen and adult sports like soccer, volleyball, basketball, and tennis will remain on the programming schedule for 2017, but will be expanded, occurring more frequently throughout the calen-

dar year to come. Programs for youth ages 5 to 12, and for teens in 7th through 12th grades will also be offered again in 2017, as well as programming specifically designed for older Sports Center members, such as Silver Sneakers. Boot camps, kettlebell classes, and strength training will remain available as well. Glendale Sports Center is committed to offering fitness op-

tions in a variety of disciplines. Yoga and pilates are popular alternatives to more traditional gym workouts, as are Zumba classes. The continuation of a self-defense course for female members, as well as a robust expansion of the martial arts program are in store for 2017. Next year members will have access not only to the existing tae kwon do classes, but also a newly added karate program.

Since 2000, a group of dedicated Littleton Public Schools volunteers has met weekly to use their sewing talents as a way to share love and warmth. The quilting volunteers— comprised of current and retired LPS employees—sew quilts that are then gifted to students and adults, near and far. Averaging 60 quilts per year, the group has given away more than 1,000 blankets to community members, including LPS students, the Arapahoe House and homeless families. Additionally, blankets have made their way around the world,

including to an orphanage in China. This year, the LPS quilters Jeanette Egan, Chris Peepgrass, Nancy Parsons, Kathy Gibbons and Daphne Cole made 78 blankets for students at the Village North Preschool. LPS is grateful to the volunteers and donations that make programs like this possible. Meeting on Tuesdays from 3-7 p.m., the quilters accept donations of fabric, batting, thread and embroidery floss. To volunteer of donate, contact Pam Hubbard, district volunteer coordinator, at 303-347-3414.

Volunteers, including Britta Nissl and Chet Schwartz, cooked and served breakfast for about 60 residents of the Dolores Project Shelter as part of a program that encourages Jews and others to fill in for Christmas celebrants at nonprofit organizations. • Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue, Denver – Volunteers cleaned the shelter and visited/played with the cats • Ronald McDonald House, Denver • Shalom Cares Senior Living Home, Aurora • Sloan’s Lake Rehabilitation Center, Denver • Sunrise at Flatirons (senior assisted-living facility), Broomfield • Zuma Rescue Ranch, Littleton - Volunteers helped care for 40 rescue horses, feeding and cleaning for this provider of equine therapy, which serves as a sanctuary and place of healing for both humans and animals in the Denver area.

The concept of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and caring for the vulnerable are key areas of focus for JEWISHcolorado. Providing volunteer relief to JEWISHcolorado’s Christian counterparts throughout the community so that they may enjoy the holidays with their families, directly aligns with JEWISHcolorado’s mission and purpose. The Christmas Mitzvah Project affords participants an opportunity to do a mitzvah (good deed) during the busy holiday season. No special skills are required to participate, only a few hours of support to donate for a good cause. Friends and family of any faith are encouraged to participate.

CHOICES heat or food?

Arapahoe House, Colorado’s largest and leading provider of substance-use disorder treatment will close all detox services on June 30, 2017 at the latest. The nonprofit provides the vital public-safety service of detox, which monitors individuals as they safely withdraw from drugs and/or alcohol. Arapahoe House operates three detox centers in Aurora, Commerce City and Wheat Ridge. “Over the last several years, Arapahoe House has significantly subsidized detox,” CEO Mike Butler said. “We are not adequately reimbursed for the cost of this valuable publicsafety program, and while our mission calls us to provide quality and affordable services, we can no longer sustain the gap in funding.” With the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Arapahoe House is now operating in a complex, challenging healthcare environment. As a healthcare organization, the nonprofit has an obligation to identify and provide the most effective forms of treatment and to make purposeful choices about resources to provide treatment to the greatest number of individuals and families in Colorado. “Like many healthcare or-

ganizations, we are confronted with difficult choices,” Butler said. “We are making a strategic decision to no longer provide detox services. This change will allow us to invest more in treatment programs that provide deeper therapeutic and life changing impact.” Detox is one of 20 program services Arapahoe House provides to the metro Denver community. With three in 10 Coloradans suffering from a substance use or mental health disorder, there is an overwhelming need for treatment. Addiction is now more prevalent than cancer and more Americans use prescription pain pills than tobacco. An accidental drug overdose occurs every nine hours and 24 minutes in Colorado. “Arapahoe House is as committed as ever to breaking the cycle of addiction in families and helping individuals improve their lives,” Butler said. With 11 locations and 20 quality services for adults, teens and families, Arapahoe House is the largest and leading provider of substance use disorder treatment in Colorado. Founded in 1975, the nonprofit delivers essential and often life-saving treatment to clients and their families based on national models of care.

Sheriff rescinds open-burning ban Effective immediately, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is rescinding the open-burning ban that had been in effect for unincorporated areas of Arapahoe County east of Gun Club Road since July. Current moisture has lowered wildfire potential, the sheriff said. The ban had been lifted Sept. 13 for Centennial and unincorporated ar-

eas west of Gun Club Road. The sheriff’s office advises caution as residents start using open flames again. Grasses and other fuels can dry out quickly and pose a threat to the rapid spread of fire. Residents are asked to refrain from burning on windy days and to have a water supply readily available.

Centennial ranks one of best Colorado cities for first-time homebuyers Centennial ranks as the eighth best city for first-time homebuyers, according to a recent report by NerdWallet. The San Francisco-based financial-analyst firm examined data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, the online data provider Neighborhood Scout and Down Payment

Resource for the 448 largest places in the United States by population. Each city was then evaluated in three main categories: affordability (income-tohome ratio), livability (crime rates and school rankings) and stability (housing-price volatility and housing-market health).

“We are very happy to see Centennial recognized along with other great Colorado cities,” Mayor Cathy Noon said. “Buying a home for the first time is a big decision and one that can be stressful, so it is nice to see Centennial excels in the categories important to those looking to purchase a home for the first time.”

Centennial is one of 13 Colorado cities to make the list. Others include Arvada (27), Lakewood (56), Fort Collins (74), Westminster (96), Denver (127), Aurora (130), Colorado Springs (140), Longmont (142), Thornton (159), Greeley (174), Boulder (192) and Pueblo (390). “Lovers of the outdoors

fit right in here, where there are plentiful opportunities for hiking, skiing, biking, golf and other recreation activities nearby. Centennial also has many business parks and is located along several key transportation corridors,” quotes the Denver Business Journal.
