CREEK CAME TO PLAY BUT LOST TO VALOR CHRISTIAN

As the game entered the last 10 minutes, defensive coach Tom Doherty rallies his players to keep fighting. Unfortunately, the Bruins ended up losing to Valor Christian 24-14. See full story on page 2.

GV council gets update on its transportation plan consultants Greenwood Village residents have long voiced concern to their elected officials about their frustration with increasing traffic in their city. In 2017 the former city council approved a $250,000 contract for a citywide Trans-

portation Master Plan. Unlike previous transportation studies, conducting solely by traffic engineers, the consultants used for this project included experts in public outreach. A primary focus of the study was to demonstrate that city residents’ input was sought through multiple public meetings and

social media platforms. The study’s transportation goals were to identify strategies to deal with current and future traffic conditions. One of the justifications for this study was that no citywide traffic study had been done since 1998 despite significant growth in the number of residents, non-res-

idents, and employees using the city’s roads. That is true, however there were studies performed in both 2009 and 2011 of the I-25 corridor in Greenwood Village, which is the source of virtually all citizen traffic complaints. In both these studies, solutions to traffic challenges identified by engineers were

rejected because city council made it clear that they would not implement them.

From the 2009 study

Creek football falls to Valor Christian in 5A State Championship BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

Cherry Creek High School’s (CCHS) football team last won the state championship game in 2014 following an 18-year drought, so returning to the final game of the season after just four years was a great accomplishment. Coming in with a 12-1 record, having lost only once this year to Grandview, they faced sports powerhouse Valor Christian High School, who arrived with a perfect 13-0 streak achieved under its first-year coach, former Denver Broncos wide receiver and father of four incredibly talented football-playing sons, Ed McCaffrey. Standing on a cold sideline on the field at Broncos Stadium at Mile High with Jason Wilkins, CCHS athletic director, The Villager watched Creek put up a valiant effort against Valor, who had its foot on the gas pedal from the start and barely let up. Valor scored first with a touchdown with just over a minute left in the first quarter. They scored another touchdown two minutes into the second quarter before Creek running back Seamus Henderson finally found the end zone six minutes later, followed by an unplanned two-point

conversion when the snap to kicker Mac Willis for the extra point went awry and Willis grabbed the ball and ran in into the end zone. The half ended with Creek looking like they were back in the game, down 14-8. Valor started the second half with a 10-yard pass by Lisa and Ed McCaffrey’s youngest son, senior quarterback Luke. The Nebraska-commit moved the ball down the field despite good tackling by Creek sophomore Myles Purchase and senior Marcus Miller, leading to a turnover on downs. Creek’s Iowa-bound quarterback Alex Padilla completed a long pass to senior Vance Brazile before play stalled and Creek had to punt, followed by another Valor touchdown. With the score 21-8 and five minutes to go in the third quarter, Padilla moved his team to the Valor 23-yard line. It looked like the game was about to get close when a Padilla pass was tipped into the hands of Valor’s 6’7”, 275-pound defensive tackle Roger Rosengarten for the interception. Although Creek scored a late touchdown with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, they never looked like a strong threat to Valor after the turnover. Creek’s coaches worked hard keeping up their players spirits and fight up until the

Creek players came to play, but they couldn’t hold back Valor Christian.

Creek’s cheerleaders gave their all to keep fans’ spirits up.

end as the weather got colder and the season came to a close. The final score was 2414, with Valor Christian winning its eighth state title in the 10 years since it first had upperclassmen (2009) after the school opened in 2007. The only other state championship football game Valor has ever lost was to Cherry Creek in 2014. They were eliminated in the quarter-finals last year before Ed McCaffrey took over as head coach. Describing itself as an independent decidedly Christian school, Valor sits high on a hill on an expansive beautiful 35-acre campus in Highlands Ranch. Niche. com, a 16-year-old recognized ranking and review site, puts Valor Christian’s high school sports program as No. 1 out of 408 high schools in Colorado and No. 8 out of 24,014 high schools in the U.S. Niche. com ranks Valor’s academics as high as its athletics at A+.

The school won the coveted Blue Ribbon Award from the U.S. Department of Education in 2015, one of only three private high schools in the U.S. to have done so. Its grade for diversity, according to niche. com, is B-. What gives rise to Valor’s top ratings in high school sports is its astounding and almost statistically incomprehensible performance in sports. With a total student population of 1130 (according to Wikipedia; the schools’ web site does not disclose enrollment numbers), Valor competes in 23 Colorado High School Athletic Association (CHSAA)-sanctioned sports, along with five club sports. In the 10 years since Valor has had upperclassmen, its teams have reached state championship games 49 times in 8 boys’ and 8 girls’ CHHSA-sanctioned sports. fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

This past year, our team has worked with many clients on new tax laws and how to structure their new loan to maximize deductions. The new tax law made changes to how mortgage

interest deductions are applied, and we helped many of our clients find mortgage solutions that worked best for them. These solutions might include placing a mortgage on a second home rather than foregoing the interest deduction on a home equity loan. Moreover, interest-only mortgages have proven to be a desirable outcome for primary and secondary homeowners looking

for some flexibility. It’s important to me and my team that we take a deep look at a client’s financial picture to ensure we provide the best possible lending solutions. Throughout the years, I’ve found that clients now want an all-inclusive banking relationship.

Remembering Colorado’s Neil Bush The 41st President of The United States Herbert Walker Bush is receiving his wellearned respect this week and he is honored with services at the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. this week. The Bush’s have been one of America’s finest public service families in the history of our nation. The score, two presidents, two governorships, a long list of public service and politic positions that include Gov. Jeb Bush’s recent loss in the 2016 presidential election. Jeb Bush is still a young man and history has a strange way of repeating events. Looking at future presidents it is interesting to see Gov. Mitt Romney becoming engaged again becoming a U.S. Senator from Utah. Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper is about to enter the national picture as a potential presidential candidate. While H.W. Bush, George and Jeb

Bush make the headlines, there is a third son Neil Bush. Neil and Sharon Bush lived in Cherry Hills Village in Glenmoor Country Club for a number of years back in the 1980s. Neil is the third son of six Bush siblings born in 1955. I came to know Neil well, and he was a delightful, eager young man who I think moved into this Congressional District with the vision of someday becoming a congressman from Colorado. He served on a number of boards and everything went well until the home loan market collapse and Neil was serving on one of the demised financial boards. He took some heat from the defaulting financial institution that he was serving on. While just a board member he was castigated loudly for his involvement. Shortly after the bad press he and Sharon moved back to Texas and little

Some good football talent starting to emerge, all is not lost. *** Started the week with a delightful dinner downtown in LODO dining with some friends at the Bistro Vendome, a small French boutique style restaurant with classy food and especially good service located at 1420 Larimer St. A nearby parking lot was a half-block away with an easy stroll to the bistro. Unique menu charges are shared with the kitchen staff by adding 2 percent in menu pricing for these employees. This has nothing to do with the reg-

was heard except when he and his lovely wife divorced. One daughter Lauren became a highly successful fashion model and designer now running the FEED project at age 34. Neil remarried 2004. Neil banged around the business world and traveled a good deal. He was spotted at this mother’s funeral this past year but has kept a low profile. His friends speak highly of him and relate that he might have been the best son of the clan, but the cards didn’t fall right for him. No doubt we’ll see him in the background of the funeral for his famous father and maybe some reporter will remember that there is a third son in the historical Bush dynasty with Colorado connections. H.W. Bush left huge boots for his sons to fill.

The group is organized like a historical posse with an elected sheriff, deputy sheriff, tallyman and chuck wrangler.

America totally unprepared for war was immediately brought into World War II when the next day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke before a joint session of Congress. Even though many members of that Congress had been bitter political foes of the man on the rostrum, as the president looked out over them, they cheered him madly, because like most Americans Dec. 8, 1941, they were angry, frightened and confused, and he was the president of the United States. Sam Rayburn, who was then the Speaker of the House, time after time, lifted his gavel and rapped for order. Finally, the cheering subsided and the president spoke, “Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941—a day that will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by navel and air forces of the Empire of Japan.”

President Roosevelt then asked Congress to declare war on Japan and Congress complied. The Senate was unanimous and in the House, Rep. Jeanette Rankin of Montana was the one dissenting vote. World War II, which had started two years earlier after Hitler’s blitzkrieg of Poland, had suddenly come to America with a bewildering suddenness. The mood of Americans, however, was to win the war, although it would take almost four years of fighting in Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific. Win we did, as our armed forces fought and civilians at home worked to turn out their weapons. At the time, the words to one song rang out: Let’s remember Pearl Harbor As we go to meet the foe Let’s remember Pearl Harbor As we did the Alamo We will always remember they died for liberty Let’s remember Pearl Harbor And on to victory! Let us in the year 2018 also remember Pearl Harbor!

Opinion

December 6, 2018 • THE VILLAGER | PAGE 5

Success in alternatives in transportation highways that will be funded by highway tolls to pay off those bonds and pay for operations and maintenance of the roads. A very successful example of this concept is the E-470 Public Highway Authority. E-470 is a 47-mile semi-circular toll road belt around metro Denver’s eastern suburbs. Its governing board includes representatives from Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties and the municipalities of Aurora, Brighton, Commerce City, Parker and Thornton. Affiliate, non-voting members are the cities of Arvada, Greeley, Lone Tree, City and County of Broomfield and Weld County.

The E-470 Public Highway authority was built with equity bonds without using any taxpayer dollars. The only exception was a $10 per vehicle registration fee imposed on member counties to pay off an initial bond for construction. In 2019 that bond will be paid off and the fee will be ended. Since E-470 opened in 1990, the tollway has continued to expand over the last several decades and has enjoyed significant increases in revenue and ridership. The annual revenues exceed $220 million providing sufficient cash flow to expand roadway lanes and other technical and engineering improvements over the years.

This successful funding structure has encouraged the development of other toll road projects in the Denver metro area including North West Parkway, I-25 Central, U.S. 36, HPTE North, HPTE I-70 PPSL and HPTE C-470. The toll road concept which allows government entities to seek private funding for new road construction is proving to be a unique method of addressing some of the problems of quickly and safely moving traffic across the metroplex without raising taxes and has met with considerable success. While the establishment of Public Highway Authorities is not a comprehensive solution to this nation’s serious infrastructure and transportation deficiencies is it a start.

Could Trump be the last Republican president?

purple state, is now as blue as California or Illinois. Ted Cruz won his Texas Senate race by 16 points in 2012, but only 3 points this year. New Yorkers and Californians are moving to Texas, Florida and Colorado to escape oppressive taxes and regulations, yet bringing their liberal values, especially when it comes to voting. Florida restored voting rights to over a million felons. Guess how they might vote? If only 5 percent of them vote, that could be enough to turn Florida blue, considering how the recent senate and governor’s races were decided by a few tens of thousands of votes. Lastly is deception, a nice way of describing electoral fraud. It’s amazing yet predictable that Republican voting ends on Election Day, but

Democrats continue voting for weeks past the election. As we saw in Broward County and in Georgia and Arizona. Republicans won most Orange County districts comfortably on election night, yet a few weeks later, every single GOP victory had been overturned. It seems every close election ends up in Democrat’s hands, never the other way around. This is all a preview of the 2020 presidential election. Trump will be on the ballot but given demographics and deception, Trump’s re-election is anything but certain. Eventually, Democrats will control the White House and Congress, changing the rules to their advantage. They never expected Trump to win. They won’t make that mistake again.

Lincoln Meadow’s campus. As an active seventh-grader, he just went into contact lenses and really enjoys his participation in school plays. The play portrays a cranky girl who transforms herself and inspires a wheelchair crippled boy to walk again through the beauty of the secret garden.

Colorado voters failure to support any of the ballot measures to increase state funding for state and local transportation projects will only delay needed improvements in our deteriorating transportation system. Currently, Colorado needs over $9 billion in transportation funding to fix and maintain our deteriorating roads. Without adequate and sustained funding for Colorado transportation infrastructure, citizens will continue to see increased traffic congestion, badly maintained roads and increases in roadway acci-

Donald Trump could well be the last Republican president most of us will see in our lifetimes. This will bring tears to many - tears of joy to some of my fellow columnists at The Villager who would be delighted if this transpired, but tears of sadness to many Republicans who view Trump as the last bulwark against socialism and tyranny. There are three primary reasons why I believe this will come to pass. Let’s call them the three D’s – demeanor, demographics and deception. Demeanor refers to Trump’s skill at fighting back against

dents and fatalities. Congress’ failure to provide adequate funding for infrastructure improvements only helps accelerate the further deterioration of our nation’s highway system. Because of the lack of funding for our roads and bridges, local and state governments are looking to the private sector to fund alternative highway systems. Local and state governments have encouraged the development of public highway authorities. The Public Highway Authorities will seek private equity funding to construct new

his opponents. Trump beat 16 other talented GOP primary candidates, none of whom could have withstood the onslaught from the Clinton machine in the general election and would have lost. Only Trump could fill arenas for campaign rallies and survive a coordinated attack from virtually the entire media, academia, entertainment and Big Tech. He fought back like a junkyard dog and won in the end. No other candidate would have pushed through a conservative agenda on trade, immigration, taxes or the judiciary as Trump did. BY BRIAN C.

fruitful board meeting of the proposed Metro Club hosted at the spacious Arlene Johnson mansion adorned with holiday attire. This civic-minded social patron had a full spread of beverage, hors-d’oeuvres, for the 30 invitees to discuss the past, present and future of the proposed Metro Club patterned after the very successful but now defunct Metropolitan Club in Greenwood Village built by John Madden decades ago and closed with the sale of the building and loss of the lease for the club facility. Ed Dauer presided at the session and the bottom line is that the Metro Club is proceeding forward with the assistance of Scottie Iverson, volunteers to formulate a social club for monthly events with meager monthly dues and membership structure. The concept is that this new club will be a “connector” organization for businesses and to greet local residents socially with newly arriving people to the area. If enough club members can be achieved, meaning hundreds, a club facility might be built.

In the meantime, monthly events for this “virtual club” are planned at various venues.

Jack can be remembered as a recent candidate of the United States Senate, losing in the primary election to Darryl Glenn who won the party top-line designation at the GOP State Assembly easily losing to incumbent Sen. Michael Bennett. Jack’s many accomplishments include having a very talented wife Ginger who most recently opened the Ginger/ Baker restaurant pie shop located in old town Ft. Collins. Ginger led the restoration of an old grain mill into a historic newly designed bakery and dining facility featuring homemade pies, pastries and a gift shop. My association with Jack goes back to CSU where he played football for my alma mater and later became the school athletic director and started the fundraising movement to build the new campus football facility.

Trump is a one-of-a-kind, what Republicans have been waiting for since Reagan. Wet noodle Republicans like Bush, Romney, McCain, or Ryan would have withered under the left’s assault, capitulating and reaching across the aisle, accepting the establishment’s agenda. The Republican bench is thin with no heir apparent. There is no one who fights back and remains upbeat as Trump does. Demographics refers to the Electoral College. Trump won comfortably by 77 votes. Will this continue? Suppose Texas and Florida, with a combined 67 votes, turn red to blue? Flip one more state and it’s lights out for the GOP. Colorado, once a red or the way, he worked with his World War II combat veteran silver star armor combat veteran father to found a successful worldwide insurance company. His father passing away at age 101 this past year, a real war hero. Enjoying the party were Walt and Cheryl Klein and Earl and Nancy Wright from the Denver area. Especially enjoyed sharing my asparagus with Nancy while DTC magnet Earl was fetching hot apple cider for his bride of over five decades. At least 300 of Jack and Ginger’s friends showed up for the event held in a stable connected to their ranch home northwest of Ft. Collins. The farm landscape adorned with multiple Christmas lights. Jack’s dog made the rounds seeking nibbles of the roasted tenderloin dinner. The Grahams also have a condominium in Castle Pines and Jack and his dog enjoy the golf course according to dinner gossip. At 6’5” he is a towering figure and was Dick Wadhams choice for the U.S. Senate, but started his campaign late in the game and lost in the statewide primary election. His new campaign might be, “Pie in The Sky.” He would make an excellent new president of CSU

Clerk and recorder’s office begins effort to preserve historic record books from 1800s Project to preserve and digitize records is first-of-its-kind in Arapahoe County Important relics of Colorado history have been preserved for future generations, thanks to a project underway in the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane led efforts to preserve the county’s 73 oldest land record books, dating 1865-1900, as well as to digitize the pages and make the records searchable online. These books contain handwritten accounts of property transactions, which are still critical for real estate sales today. The office maintains more than 2,000 record and index books, which date back to the formation of Arapahoe County as Colorado’s first county. During that era, records were handwritten in iron gall ink on acid-bleached paper made from wood pulp. Glue was used to bind the pages in leather-bound books. After more than 150 years in Colorado’s arid climate, many of these record books are in extremely poor condition. The fragile pages have turned brown and are tearing loose or cracking. The ink is fading and the records are at risk of being indecipherable. “Our record books have a rich story to tell about the changing landscape and property rights in Arapahoe County,” said Crane. “It is the responsibility of the clerk and recorder’s office to maintain and provide public access to these books. We saw a critical need to begin preserving the deteriorating volumes from our county’s earliest days in

Outgoing Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder, Matt Crane holds one of the old land books.

order to protect the integrity of these records.” The county solicited bids and contracted with Kofile a renowned preservation company for government agencies nationwide. The preservation process includes cleaning each page of dust, sediment, stains and mineral and biological contaminants. The pages are flattened and humidified, and then deacidified. Each page is encapsulated in a mylar protective sleeve and secured in an archival binder, which is consistent with best practices from the U.S. National Archives and Library of Congress. Each binder is bound in an elegant red metal cover that is fire and water-resistant and embossed with gold text. Each page also is scanned and enhanced, and then linked to a digital index. These records will be added to the county’s digital collection of public documents, which can be searched and viewed at arapahoegov.com/

documentsearch. As part of the project, Arapahoe will be the first county in Colorado to provide a direct link between the historical index book and the land records. This means that a citizen can view the digital index book, and simply click on the name of a grantor/ grantee to view the associated land record, such as a deed. This will dramatically expedite the search process for citizens, who will not have to comb through pages of digital books for a relevant record. Funding has been allocated from the county’s general fund to preserve only the 73 oldest volumes in the library. Crane will finish his term as clerk and recorder in January, and any further funding to preserve record books dating from the 1900s will be at the discretion of the clerk-elect and Board of County Commissioners. Arapahoe County’s record books are available for public review in the Records and Copies Room at the Administration Building, 5334 S. Prince Street, Littleton. Employees from the recording division are available to assist the public with locating materials, but cannot provide research, legal advice or forms for real estate transactions. For more information about land and marriage records, please call the recording division at 303-795- 4520 or visit arapahoegov.com/clerk. Arapahoe County does not provide court or vital statistics records. For birth or death records, please contact Tri-County Health Department at 303220-9200. For divorce or court records, please contact the Colorado Judicial Branch at 303-6496355.

Key Employees: Employers, make $20,000+ for each Key Employee you spend $6000 to keep

LES SIMPSON WELLNESS TECHNOLOGY SPECIALIST

Every company has their own employee loss percentage to try to combat. With our national unemployment rate at 3.5, it is a headache to find and keep Key Employees. But in Denver it is even more difficult with a 2.8 rate. Any person you consider key to your business someone else is thinking the same. What

can you do to let employees know you really value them? A national survey revealed money was 10th on the list on why employees would stay around. Any company can write a check. The employer showing they really cared about them personally was among the top 5. Fourteen percent said they would like the employer to help them with their health. But with their already busy schedule adding an exercise

program or diet can also add to the stress. Employers can now rejoice. There are three new health and wellness technologies that can majorly improve health with out changing their lifestyle or diet. And each one of these technologies, I am going to discuss in the next articles, can be additional profit centers for the company. The $20,000+ employers can make for spending $6,000 for each key employee

has nothing to do with replacement or training cost. A VP of New talent acquisition for a major local company was telling me some of the cost of replacement. Of course, there is the marketing/head hunter cost. Then are the hours of interviews. Followed up by the many hours of training. Even if the employee has many years of experience there is the company break in period. And last is trying to provide the

wanted (Key Employee) with incentives to stay. So, it pays to listen when the survey says employees want the company to care about their personal life and health. Three wellness techs do exactly that for only $6000 per key employee. Wellness Tech Plus is providing education each month at Koelbel Library. Next one is on Optimizing the Nervous System on Dec 11 at 5pm Room B.

Western Union completes relocation to New Global Headquarters in Denver The Fortune 500 company affirms significant, longterm investment to the local community

The Western Union Company, a leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement, announces the completed relocation of its global headquarters from Englewood to a new, highly-visible location in Denver. The Fortune 500 company estimates making a long-term economic investment to the region of more than USD $300 million over the next decade. “As the centerpiece of our worldwide operations, our new headquarters reflects the company’s ongoing transformation, with a state-of-theart workspace that promotes collaboration, innovation and sustainability,” president and CEO of Western Union, Hikmet Ersek said. “The move to this dynamic city marks

another milestone in the significant, long-term commitment we made one year ago, to reinvest in community and people, further strengthening our roots in Denver.” Central to light rail access and other urban amenities, Western Union supports the positive environmental impact of public transit, while also making it easier for employees to commute to work and take advantage of the efficiency of working while in transit. Shuttles will transport employees between the two locations at 7001 E. Belleview Ave. and 7979 E. Tufts Ave.,

the combined space totals approximately 350,000 square feet with workspaces for the more than 1,300 employees based in Denver. The facilities have a range of upgraded features from advanced conferencing and communication technology, innovation labs, ergonomically designed furniture and digitally-enabled self-checkout micro markets. “Western Union connects people around the world every day. With progressive workspaces such as community hubs, technology-enhanced meeting rooms, and a grand staircase for companywide

meetings and broadcasts, we’re connecting our employees in new ways and fostering a collaborative atmosphere,” EVP and chief human resources officer at Western Union, Richard Williams said. “Our vision, people and productive work environment will enable us to attract and retain the best talent in the Denver-area.” Embracing the theme of innovation, Western Union recently announced that the company will work with Boulder-based Techstars, to run a mentorship-driven accelerator program and provide

seed funding. The 30 early-stage international startups will be based out of Western Union’s new Denver-based headquarters, work closely with and be mentored by the company’s leadership team. Last year, the Western Union Foundation announced an infusion of USD $1 million in contributions to local nonprofits supporting education, including: Denver Public Schools Foundation, Junior Achievement Rocky Mountain, Emily Griffith Technical College, and Mi Casa Resource Center. Since its inception in 2001, the Western Union Foundation has provided nearly $8 million in grants to 340 nonprofits in the Denver community. In 2017, Western Union announced a three-year deal to become the first NBA corporate jersey sponsor of the Denver Nuggets and a MLS sponsorship with the Colorado Rapids.

Aurora Economic Development Council and Kärcher announce North American Headquarters Moving to Aurora Denver-based Kärcher North America, a U.S. subsidiary of German parent company Kärcher, the family-owned world’s leading provider of efficient, resource-conserving cleaning systems, announced today that it is moving its North American headquarters and manufacturing hub to Aurora, in Adams County. Kärcher partnered with the Aurora Economic Development Council (AEDC) to find and secure a suitable 23-acre site for the new 380,000 square foot facility in the Porteos development near Denver International Airport (DEN). In total, the North American headquarters will house about 350 jobs in the City of Aurora and is a $50 million investment for the company. Adams County Economic Development (ACED) also supported the project as a liaison with Adams County. “We are thrilled to be coming to Aurora and look forward to having these operations in a brand-new, Kärcher-owned facility. “This space has been designed to optimize our manufacturing processes as well as the experience for our customers,” said Javier Gonzalez, Kärcher CEO Region North America. “The location near DEN is ideal for our customers and workforce and this was an important factor in our decision to move our Region North America

Kärcher, on average, generates 2,500 hotel room nights per year. Aurora Mayor Bob LeGare said, “This is an allaround win for the City of Aurora. We’re welcoming a world-class primary employer that is creating hundreds of jobs and investing tens of millions of dollars into our community in addition to bringing thousands of business visitors to Aurora each year to positively impact our

headquarters to Aurora.” Jason Mangone, Kärcher CFO, added, “We’re excited to be a leader in the development of this new frontier in Aurora and look forward to the surrounding development that is to come in the area.” In addition to other operations, the Region North America headquarters will serve as Kärcher’s main training facility, bringing in visitors from across the globe. A

economy.” Wendy Mitchell, president and CEO of AEDC added, “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Kärcher into the community as a partner. Aurora is a prime location for global companies to grow because of the connectivity that the city can offer through its proximity to DEN. With rapidly increasing international flights, we’re connected to a plethora of destinations across the S

globe. As economic development goes, international headquarters deals are what get us really excited. This deal shows once again that Aurora is becoming a strong, global business destination and is ripe for Class A office space development.” Kärcher’s new facility is expected to open in September 2019, with the migration dates of existing facilities still to be determined.

18th Judicial District expands Tate won’t seek re-election in 2020 problem-solving court offerings BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

When the dust settled on the Nov. 6 election in the state and Arapahoe County, incumbent Republicans who had not stood for re-election in 2018 were faced with a harsh vision of their political future. Much can change in two years, but the current outlook for Republicans in Colorado and Arapahoe County is not encouraging. State Sen. Jack Tate, R-27, took stock of his situation and decided it was time to move on. Tate holds a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from Duke University, a Master of Science in finance, and MBA in marketing from CU Denver. He told The Villager that serving in the legislature makes it impossible to do a regular full-time job because of the legislative schedule. Though he previously managed projects related to capital investment, Tate hopes to have a full-time career representing a trade association or as a government affairs manager for a large company, utilizing the skills he has acquired as a legislator. Tate last served as chair of the Business, Labor, and Technology Committee and sponsored a Senate Bill that significantly addressed and lessened the longtime financial problems with the Public Employees Retirement Association of Colorado (PERA). Tate has served in the state legislature since 2015, first in the house and then the Senate. By announcing his retirement two years in advance, Tate said, “it allows plenty of time for others to consider seeking the position.” He also expressed relief that he won’t have to worry about his statements on issues being used in opponents’ political ads, adding, “It means the Democrats won’t be able to trap me on certain votes.” He

looks forward to being able to weigh-in on offered legislation based on the proposal itself, “as opposed to whether it’s going to end up on an attack mail piece.” Tate plans to focus on the coming session. He said he has legislation he hopes to introduce in the first two weeks of the session with three colleagues, another Republican and two Democrats, to repeal and replace the Gallagher Amendment, which has resulted in unintended negative financial consequences to many rural areas of Colorado. Said Tate, “The Gallagher Amendment has been very successful in protecting residential property owners from tax increases. Under our proposal, tax rates would be frozen.” However, he allowed that residential taxpayers might end up paying more so as to relieve the unfair burden the current system has placed on small-business owners and rural areas of the state. Presently, Colorado is in the bottom three states for residential real estate taxes paid, Tate said. He expects another try by Governor-elect Jared Polis and the Democrats to get taxpayers to approve new funding for transportation but thinks it will be less than the 0.62 percent sales tax increase rejected by voters in November. He said that “Democrats don’t want to use the state’s general fund for transportation. They prefer to use it for entitlements like Medicaid.” We asked him how he envisioned the future for the Republican Party in Colorado. He said, “I think Republicans can win. It’s just going to require a level of time and commitment that I can’t make and still earn a living.” Tate is married to Dr. Kathleen Tate, a physician and surgeon. They are the parents of three children. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Centura Health Implements ALTO Connecting 17 hospital emergency departments in decreasing opioid use Centura Health will be the largest health care system in Colorado to implement the Alternative to opioid (ALTO) program began Dec. 1, throughout the emergency departments, urgent care centers and free-standing emergency clinics. “Nationally the overprescribing of opioids has resulted in thousands of Americans being treated in emergency rooms each week for not using these medications as directed or intended. This is a national and local crisis as our communities are being overwhelmed by the impact of opioid use disorder and the deaths and illness that accompany this disease.” explains Mary Beth Savory, Centura Health opioid coordinator. “This program

illustrates our commitment to finding solutions while providing whole person care to each community we serve.” The Colorado Hospital Association, in coordination with the Colorado American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), has developed and piloted the ALTO program, which resulted in a 36 percent reduction in opioid utilization in 10 Colorado emergency departments. Centura Health caregivers will utilize the ACEP Opioid Prescribing Guidelines to decrease the number of opioids ordered for patients with defined pain management needs. ALTO-trained providers and staff will facilitate the education for the patient care teams working at each site. Subsequent focus areas will be in our Centura Health provider network (including primary care), inpatient and specialty care settings.

roblem-solving courts in Colorado’s 18th Judicial District (Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties) soon will be able to serve new populations of offenders with intensive monitoring, supervision and treatment with the addition of new programs. The district has begun accepting applications for a new track in the Veterans Treatment Court (VTC) for offenders who are assessed as presenting a lower risk of accumulating new criminal charges or endangering themselves or others; and will soon begin accepting applications for clients to participate in the new Sobriety Court program. Since its inception in 2013, the VTC was designed to serve high-risk, high-need adult clients who suffer from diagnoses including post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury related to their military service. The addition of the new Veterans Support Court (VSC) track will serve military veterans who, while assessed as presenting a lower risk, need treatment and monitoring

similar to that provided to the high-risk population. The expansion will give the VTC the ability to help more veterans successfully complete probation and assist them in accessing the wide range of community services available to them through various veterans organizations. Of the 78 veterans who have enrolled in the voluntary program with the VTC, three-quarters have graduated and only one has been found guilty of a new offense after graduation. The Sobriety Court will begin accepting applications in mid-December. People eligible to participate must have a felony driving under the influence charge in the 18th Judicial District and be assessed as presenting a high risk of reoffending or failing to complete a less-intensive intervention. Applications should be submitted by defense counsel or Probation Department officials. Like other problem-solving courts, participation in the VSC and in Sobriety Court will be voluntary. Clients must agree to all terms and conditions of the programs,

which could include intensive treatment, frequent court appearances and reports to probation officers and frequent drug testing. “Problem solving courts have provided a successful alternative to incarceration for thousands of people in Colorado and across the country,” said Judge Bonnie McLean, who presides over the 18th Judicial District’s problem-solving courts. “Our entire problem-solving court team is excited to be able to offer this alternative to a wider range of people in hopes of keeping them together with their families and working in their communities.” Nearly 80 problem-solving courts are in operation around Colorado including adult and juvenile drug courts, family/dependency and neglect drug courts, DUI courts, adult and juvenile mental health courts, veteran trauma courts and truancy courts. Such courts operate under a collaborative model involving not only court and probation officials, but also prosecutors, defense attorneys and treatment professionals.

Earlier study had similar conclusions Continued from Page 1

the study area, they are not included on the recommended list based on direction Village staff has received from current and/ or past city council direction. Projects such as improvements to the Orchard Road and Quebec Street intersection and increasing traffic flow on Belleview Avenue east of Yosemite Street….” The 2011 study contained similar conclusions: “Orchard Road/Quebec Street – Improvements needed for intersection capacity are inconsistent with previous Council policy with respect to Orchard Road west of Quebec Street. It is Council policy not to improve the level of service at this intersection. Orchard Road/Yosemite Street – Improvements needed for intersection capacity are inconsistent with previous council policy with respect to Yosemite Street south of Orchard Road and Orchard Road east of Yosemite Street. It is council policy not to improve the level of service at this intersection.” Current city council members Dave Kerber and Jerry Presley were on city council in 2009 and 2011 when both previous studies of the I-25 corridor were done. For the current project, consultants and city staff held open houses with numerous charts and graphs in March and again Nov. 29. A community working group was appointed by city council for residents to provide citizen input. Kerber is one of its

members. On Nov. 5, public works director Jeremy Hanak updated city council on the consultants’ work. He reported, to no one’s surprise that “There’s no single silver bullet that’s going to solve our transportation problem.” He said that GV residents continue to be concerned about the intersections of Belleview and I-25 and Orchard and I-25 (just as was reported on citizen surveys in 2014, 2012, 2010, etc.). Hanak told city council that residents were also unhappy with the amount of traffic on Belleview Avenue and westbound Orchard Road. In his presentation, Hanak focused on the efforts of staff to get public input, noting visitors were asked about their traffic concerns at Greenwood Village Day in July and when attending concerts at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre. Eventually addressing the heart of the problem, Hanak said, “We can’t continue to provide solutions to just make it easier for people to drive alone.” He said that residents had expressed a desire for options and choices in transportation and that most report rarely using light rail, but said they would if there were better, safer connections to light rail stations and more parking available there. Citizens, he said, also expressed a desire to use their bicycles more. In complete contrast, city council is poised to pass changes to its citywide comprehensive plan that include removing from its transportation goals,

“Encourage implementation of mass transit systems and other alternatives to single occupant vehicles.” During the Nov. 5 discussion, council member Anne Ingebretsen relayed concerns to Hanak that she had received from members of the community working group that, “there’s obviously some frustration that they feel that the consulting engagement is sort-of generic in structure...We’ve got a significant investment in this. Are you comfortable that the people we’ve engaged are very focused on GV specifically and that we’re not getting 75 percent boiler plate….?” Hanak said that there had been some miscommunication about the expectations of the working group, who were apparently told that “we were coming in with specific solutions,” when what the consultants actually planned to present were “six categories of strategies.” Still, he said that, in the end, the consultants would recommend actual solutions for GV. Not convinced, council member Judy Hilton said, “I want to echo what Anne is saying…(From) what I’ve seen… you could take any municipality and take their logo and their name and stick it on here and it would work.” Many are waiting to see what the $250,000 investment of GV residents’ tax dollars and 18 months of staff time will produce in tangible actions by city council that will improve the traffic and transportation experience of city residents. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Holiday drama

It’s that time of year when we must decide if we are going to be real and authentic about the forced merriment we sometimes have to endure during the holiday season or do life authentically without pretense. I am referring to divorced families who share custody of their children or deal with the blended family created once remarried. Do we hang on to old traditions or create new ones? How do we juggle feelings of loss, betrayal, disappointment, fear, or even anger about a new “family” dynamic? It has been 20 years since my then husband decided he did not want to be married to me anymore. Our four children were

heading into that awkward, identity shaping season of adolescence. It was brutal for them. How do I capture the goodness and joy of the holiday season when all of us are trying to reconfigure a new life? My heart ached as I watched the confusion and the chaos of their young lives try to cope with their new reality. I did everything I knew how to do, I read everything I could regarding dealing with the holidays after families get destroyed by divorce. The best advice I received was to allow the grieving of the loss play out. Forcing joy and happiness during the holidays makes things worse. Acknowledge that

Frances Holcombe Pitcher Crosby - 1938 - 2018

Frances Pitcher Crosby, 79, of Greenwood Village died at home, amid family, after a brief illness. Frannie was born and raised in Baton Rouge, La., one of four children of Charlie Holcombe and Sargent Pitcher, Jr. She enjoyed tennis, dancing, and hunting but her favorite memories were of the summers she spent crabbing, boating and water skiing with her family and many friends in Destin, Fla. After graduating from Baton Rouge High School at 16, Frannie attended Smith College in Northampton, Mass. and Tulane University in New Orleans. In 1958, she married George Christian Crosby, Jr. The couple briefly lived in Charlottesville, Va.; Seattle, Wash. and Minneapolis, Minn. but in 1965 moved to Colorado and raised four daughters in Cherry Hills Village. After raising her children, Frannie decided to join in the family tradition of her grandfather, both her parents, her sister, and her two brothers-in-law and become a lawyer. In 1976, she attended University of Denver School of Law where she graduated first in her class and was editor of Law Review. Frannie will be remembered for her love of the law, quick wit, competitive

nature, enjoyment of horse racing and great love of books. She spent many Saturdays with her father at the race track until his passing in 1991. She played bridge competitively and enjoyed the title of Life Master. Frannie was an independent capable woman with strong convictions. Her friends describe her as a witty, fun-loving rebel who always let you know what she thought. She is survived by her four daughters, Mancy Jolliffe (Will), Marnie Barclay, Libby Harvey (Ned), Blair Mellon (Dennis); her 10 grandchildren, Kate Jolliffe Haaf (Landon), Morgan Jolliffe, Jack Jolliffe, Alex Barclay, Brendan Barclay, Jessica Barclay, Jackson Harvey, Spencer Harvey, Christian Mellon and Seth Mellon all of Greenwood Village and her three siblings, Olive French (David), Jack Pitcher and Rachel Morgan (John).

divorce is brutal and during the holidays it is excruciating. Every tradition that a family had gets sidelined and redefined in a divorce. “Divorce feels like a death with no funeral. Tragically divorce is way too common and it is never easy. Everyone has a story of how hard it is even for the one that wanted to split. There are always unintended consequences and collateral damage. So how does one who is divorced manage the drama of holiday season with children or step-children? 1. Keep expectations realistic. 2. Ask those with whom you will

be spending this season what might they want to do during the holidays. 3. Listen with your heart and refrain from judgement. Feelings are not right or wrong, they are neutral and are important to validate. 4. Build up coping mechanisms, learn new skills for you and for your children. 5. Get enough rest. 6. Find other families that have made it through these times with dignity and grace and use them as role models. 7. Ask for what you need and make your home an emotionally safe place for others to do

the same. 8. Know that it gets better. Even though I have been remarried for almost 15 years, divorce never ends. It is especially evident for my grown children around the holidays, the birth of a child, weddings or funerals. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could somehow help individuals couple well with the skills to maintain their relationships and their marriages to go the distance? That is what we do at the Center for Relationship Education. For more information: joneen@ myrelationshipcenter.org; my relationshipcenter.org

400 Teal-Clad guests attended the Teal Gala at the museum of nature and science The fifth annual Teal Gala to support the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance (COCA) took place Nov. 1. This was the first year that the Gala was held at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the event was a resounding success. More than 400 guests, attired in teal finery, attended and raised $133,000 for the nonprofit. Joyful embraces are common at the Teal Gala as ovarian cancer survivors reunite with their medical providers. Guests enjoyed a silent auction, cocktails and dinner in the Museum’s South Atrium. Keynote speaker, Dr. Laura Shawver, founder of The Clearity Foundation captivated the audience with her story of discovering a genetic-based treatment approach to ovarian cancer – and then benefiting from that approach when she herself was diagnosed with the disease years later. “We are thrilled with the success of this year’s Gala and overwhelmed by our community’s support of our programming and outreach efforts,” said

Patrice Hauptman, executive director of COCA. “Our work to educate women and the medical community about the signs and symptoms of this disease so that it can be caught early continues to be the first line of defense.” It is estimated that every 40 hours a woman in Colorado dies from ovarian cancer, which is not detected by annual gynecological exams and for which there is no screening test. Known as the silent killer, the disease is the deadliest of all gynecologic cancers and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Since 2005, COCA has worked to help women and their families by empowering them with emotional support, educational resources, and financial assistance to diminish the occurrence of such alarming statistics. During the Teal Gala, mistress of ceremonies, Theresa Marchetta, who serves as director of strategic communications and media policy for Mayor Michael Hancock, commended the audience for their generosity and commitment to eradicating the prevalence of ovarian cancer. Marchetta, who lost her younger sister to the disease, explained the significance of the

event and the importance of the programs COCA has created throughout the years. Specific recognition was given during the evening to a program that COCA is piloting called Carol’s Wish, which is spearheaded by Edward Dauer in honor of his late wife. Dauer, a former dean and professor of law at the University of Denver, provided a heartfelt account of the life of Carol Dauer, and her battle with ovarian cancer, bringing forth her passion to help others even in the midst of being ill with the disease. In describing the course of Carol’s diagnosis and subsequent treatment, Dauer detailed the financial burden of cancer. He noted that Carol often expressed her concern for other women who may not be able to afford treatment – a phenomenon referred to as financial toxicity. Dauer explained, “Financial toxicity for a disease like cancer has an impact not only on patients’ finances, but also potentially has lethal impacts on their health. Because what too many people do when they can’t meet their share of the costs [associated with treatment] is forgo the regimen their doctors have prescribed. It was Carol’s wish that no one’s health would be threatened by financial toxicity. No one should ever have to choose between medicines, groceries or feeding their children.” Marchetta closed the evening on a celebratory note, thanking the attendees for their generosity and urging everyone to talk about ovarian cancer with their neighbors, friends and colleagues to raise awareness and save lives. “Ovarian cancer has taken enough,” she shared. “It’s time for us to take back control.” The mission of the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance, a Denver-based nonprofit, is to promote awareness and early detection of ovarian cancer through advocacy and education, and to provide support to people affected by ovarian cancer.

Denver Santa Claus Shop needs donations

Sure to win the award for “best hotel for gingerbread cookie travel,” The Broadmoor’s 13 ½ -foot-tall gingerbread resort display is now up and accepting reservations for holiday’s favorite cookie to enjoy some R&R before ending up on Santa’s cookie dishes across the nation.

Where do gingerbread men, women and children spend the holidays this year? The Broadmoor gingerbread resort

The historic Broadmoor in Colorado Springs is wrapping up its centennial celebrations with the recent unveiling of its largest, grandest holiday gingerbread display ever, a 13 ½-foot-tall, 11x11120-square-foot gingerbread replica of the original 1918 Broadmoor resort. A holiday tradition since 1964, this year’s Broadmoor gingerbread display honors its heritage and celebrates 100 years of sweet memories. Inspired by the 1918 Broadmoor Hotel, which opened its doors June 29, 1918, the Broadmoor’s gingerbread display has been a longstanding tradition for families who visit the resort during the holiday season. While the actual 1918 building took 13 months and 600 Italian artisans to

complete, this year’s gingerbread display took over 10 master pastry chefs and two carpenters over 220+ hours to create this year’s cookie creation, plus four months of planning. Thirty-four years ago, the resort debuted its first gingerbread display: a much smaller, but detailed Hansel and Gretel house made up entirely of gingerbread and a sugar wafer roof covered with snow icing. Since then, the property’s army of pastry chefs have cooked up some pretty ambitious gingerbread creations (like a near full-size steam engine in 2016 and a 13 ½ foot tall chapel in 2017 which if consumed, would have cost you 3,798,114 calories – we counted). This year is no exception with the recent unveiling of its centennial celebration masterpiece, it’s largest to date. Led by The Broadmoor’s

executive pastry chef Adam Thomas, this year’s gingerbread resort includes the following ingredients: • 958 lbs of powdered sugar • 475 lbs of flour • 650 eggs • 19 lbs of holiday spices • 200 lbs of honey • 128 lbs of molasses • 6 lbs of salt • 78 lbs of assorted candy, gumballs and fruit jellies • 164 lbs of dark chocolate • 89 lbs of butter • 3 lbs of baking soda • 10 lbs of heavy cream • 2 lbs of fresh yeast This year’s display may make for a great getaway for gingerbread travelers, but The Broadmoor invites all to enjoy its 2018 winter wonder and holiday happenings and celebrate the last month of its centennial year. Here’s to the next 100 years of delicious memories and traditions.

Denver Santa Claus Shop’s mission is “A Toy for Every Girl & Boy,” and it needs donations to help children in need. The volunteer-run, nondenominational nonprofit collects toys and money to provide free toys to local children in need – many of whom otherwise might not have a toy to open during the holidays. The shop expects to serve nearly 13,000 local children this year. Volunteers set up a temporary, giant toy store where families in need are invited to actually shop, choosing free toys for their children. Parents receive a 100-point “gift certificate” for each child. Toys are valued from 10 – 100 points each, so parents can select several toys per child. DSCS accepts new and “gently loved” toys for children ages newborn through 11 years old. Denver Mattress stores and Larry H. Miller car dealerships are toy drop-off sites through Dec. 11. Stores include Denver Mattress’ Park Meadows store, Larry H. Miller’s Nissan Arapahoe in Centennial and Nissan Highland Ranch locations. More donation options are on denversanta clausshop.org. DSCS accepts monetary donations year-round on its website or by mail at: Denver Santa Claus Shop, P.O. Box 102104, Denver, CO 80250-2104.

Spiritual Christmas traditions to embrace

The holiday season is a special and spiritual time of year. It can sometimes be easy to get lost in the more commercial aspects of the holiday season, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with shopping for gifts that will show your loved ones how much you love and appreciate them. For those who want to focus back on the spiritual side of this special time of year, the following suggestions can help in those efforts.

Share the story of Christmas

The Gospels of Mark and Luke offer differing accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Both indicate that Jesus was born to Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Mary became pregnant through immaculate conception, as she was a virgin when visited by an angel who informed her that she was to

carry God’s son. At the time of Christ’s birth, all Jewish people had to be counted by Roman soldiers for tax purposes. That required people to return to their places of birth. As a result, Mary and Joseph set out on an arduous journey to Bethlehem. Upon arriving in Bethlehem, inns had no vacancies, but Mary and Joseph were given shelter in a stable where Jesus was ultimately born.

Attend Mass

Churches traditionally hold religious services on Christmas Eve and Christmas. These services are joyful expressions of faith, music and community spirit. But Christmas mass is not the only time to head to church. During Advent, the four-week period preceding Christmas, Catholics prepare and repent. Advent calendars help count down the days until Christmas.

Set out a nativity scene

Make a nativity scene the primary focus of Christmas decorations and encourage children to play with the figures and act out the Christmas story.

Focus on gifts for good

Families can focus their energies on faithful endeavors and the spirit of giving that’s synonymous with the season. Do good deeds for others, embrace peace and love and share special time with others.

Sing carols

Spread the holiday spirit through song. Get together with a group of friends or neighbors and go door-todoor, or hold a caroling performance at a centralized location. Select religious hymns, but also include some secular favorites. The holiday season is a great time of year to reconnect with one’s faith and spirituality.

Join Cherry Creek Presbyterian this Christmas Season December 14, 15, 16 and 24

Join Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church at 10150 E. Belleview Ave. in Greenwood Village in celebrating the Christmas season with free concerts, Dec. 14 and 15 at 7 p.m., and Dec. 16 at 3 p.m. CCPC’s pipe organ, professional orchestra and 80+ voice

Christ’s birth in a manger 45 minutes prior to CCPC’s Christmas Eve Children’s Services at 1 and 3 p.m. For a more traditional evening with organ, brass and choir; two candlelight services will be offered at 5 and 7 p.m. For questions or more information, visit our website or call 303-779-9909.

Make worship an integral part of the holiday season The hustle and bustle of the often hectic holiday season can make it easy to overlook religion during this special time of year. Come the holidays, adherents of Judaism celebrate Chanukah while many Christians celebrate Christmas. Though different, the two holidays share some similarities. In celebration of Chanukah, families gather for an eight-day commemoration to honor the rededication of the Second Temple of Jerusalem and a miracle in which a small amount of oil illuminated a menorah for eight days. Perhaps because it falls during the holiday season, Chanukah has become one of the most well-known Jewish celebrations, even for those who do not adhere to the Jewish faith. For devout Christians, Christmas isn’t about eggnog and Santa Claus. Christmas (Christ’s Mass) is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, who Christians believe is the son of God. Christmas is a day of great joy in the Christian faith because it marks the beginning of Jesus’ time on earth. Both Chanukah and Christmas, while joyous celebrations, are laced with solemnity. The Second Jewish Temple was desecrated by Greek-Syr-

ians, who had erected an altar to Zeus and sacrificed pigs within its sacred walls. At this point in time, Jews had to practice their faith in secret, reading the Torah underground and using dreidels to simulate games and confuse Greek soldiers. However, the Jews, led by a small group of rebels known as the Maccabees, persevered, marking the joy of Chanukah for years to come. The period leading up to Christmas known as Advent is a time for repentance and preparation for the grace and miracle of Jesus’ birth. According to Christianity.com, the word “advent” is derived from the Latin word “adventus,” meaning “coming.” Advent is a time to both reflect on the past and look forward to the future. Much like Lent, Advent is intended to be a season of fasting, prayer and reaching out to God. During the holiday season, houses of worship customarily host prayer sessions and special holiday-related events. The faithful are encouraged to participate in these events in celebration of their faith. Prayer can help remove distractions during the holiday season, helping individuals reconnect with the true meaning of the holiday season.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR!! We would be honored with your presence as we anticipate and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Saint Peter Lutheran is a church where you are all welcome, just as you are. Children are invited to join in all of our worship services. If needed, however, nursery care is available.

Cherry Hills Villager Pam Duke was part of the original planning when Anna Bates developed the Sugarplum concept decades ago. Her granddaughter Scarlett (daughter of son Brian

and Leah Duke) wanted to be what she called a “red flower girl” when she looked at the sugarplum photo album of her aunt Sara Duke Matthew. She got her wish in the class of 2018. It was a red and green flurry when the classes of Sugarplums and Sugarplum Alums were proudly presented by dads on stage in the ballroom with nutcrackers standing guard and ballerina Christine Wiggins as Sugarplum Fairy.

Denver adores Dior

enver Art Museum (DAM) is once again honored to have a major exhibition organized and curated by Florence Muller, the museum’s Avenir Foundation Curator of Textile Art and Fashion. Dior FROM PARIS TO THE WORLD - 70 years of haute couture legacy was sensory overload in a wonderful way. Dior launched his revolutionary “New Look” Feb. 12, 1947 reconstructing the female figure. Not everyone applauded his pioneering vision of sensuality, luxury and length on the heels of World War II austerity. In chronological order beginning with the iconic “bar suit,” there were nearly 200 silhouettes, (seemed like more) videos, runway presentations and history in the Hamilton Building. Christian Dior and the six designers who succeeded him at the House of Dior, 30 Avenue Montaigne, since his death in 1957 – Yves Saint Laurent, Marc Bohan, Gianfranco Ferre, John Galliano, Raf Simons and the current artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri -will be on display through March 3, 2019, and then off to Dallas Art Museum. And, it was quite a competing show with the attendees who came to the gala opening decked out in Dior or at least, vintage ensembles. Presenters of the Dior collections are Joy and Chris Dinsdale with a healthy list of additional sponsors. A must see!

Cuttings – from a few leaves to a welcoming house plant BY DORIS B. TRUHLAR GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

A house isn’t a home without house plants. Fortunately, one only has to have a few favorite plants around to feel really “at home.” This is especially true if some of the plants have been grown from family cuttings. About three years ago, my husband Bob and I sold the house we had lived in – where we raised four children, temporarily moved into an apartment — and then a few months later located a wonderful ranchstyle house in Palos Verdes, the same subdivision where we had lived for 33 years. It is southeast of East Orchard Road and South Holly Street. We are now living in the same style house that all empty nesters want to buy. We love

our house. When we moved, however, there wasn’t room in the two-bedroom apartment we rented for all our plants. We had to give many of them away. One was an extremely large ficus plant that we had

“trained” to take on the shape of the large bay window where it had lived for all the years we were in our house. It was hard to part with that tree. When Bob and I married in 1978, it was a tiny plant, probably only about 10 or 11 inches high. When we moved into the apartment, it was 6 feet high and eight or 10 feet across. Our daughter, Ivy Truhlar, who works for our law firm, said the only answer was to put the tree out on the sidewalk, and put a big sign on it that read “ficus tree – free.” I waited with great trepidation, afraid that no one would want it. Thankfully, a wonderful gentleman came by and not only took it but called and promised to take great care of it. At the time we moved out of our previous home, the real

estate market was so “hot” that it was difficult to find a house at all. People were getting in bidding “wars,” offering much more than the listing price, often driving prices up. We put bids on several houses before we located what is, hopefully, our last home. Since then, we have helped our daughter Ivy relocate to a near-by subdivision. It is wonderful having her live so close. She had been living over in Aurora, in an apartment. There was one plant, in particular that I couldn’t part with. It was a Swedish ivy. My mother had brought me some cuttings from her Swedish ivy plant in 1976. Since then, the plant flourished, and I had to repot it several times. It is huge now. After we moved into our present residence, I took some cuttings and grew another plant. My mother died young,

in 1989, but whenever I look at those plants, I think of her. Recently, I took some cuttings from the Swedish ivy and also from English ivy plant I had growing on my breezeway. I have planted the two kinds of ivy together and, in a fit of domesticity, also have planted two kinds of coleus I purchased and repotted in pretty containers. One is called a “lovebird coleus,” and it is in a planter that is an elephant. The other coleus is in a fancy brown clay pot. I need to stop buying plants. I hope to give the Swedish ivy plants that I have cherished to my daughters, and also hope they will pass them along some day to their daughters or daughters-in-law. It’s amazing what some living plants can add to a home. They say “welcome home!”

screen saying that the forward radar braking system had become inoperative because of the snow blocking the forward-looking cameras. This is a smart car with a perfect five-star rating and it was warning me that this system had become inoperative. Made me think about high technology that works until we get into adverse weather conditions when good all-weather tires, wiper blades, and a good defroster count more than modern camera technology. Anyway, the snow receded toward Ft. Collins and following a jovial Christmas party the ice had melted from the cameras returning home. It might behoove the Acura engineers to heed

these comments and install heat in the radar cameras. A new feature is the “Idle” stop that turns off the engine when idling at stop signs with the option to turn off the feature if not desired. The interior cabin is spacious, the 12 way-power front seats are heated and very comfortable, sound system easy to use, surrounded by multiple air-bags earning that high safety rating. The Acura MDX earns a high score and the overall package is really good from engine, ride, drive, features and appearance. It is a step up from lower-priced brands and you get what you’re paying for with this all-around solid vehicle.

Acura MDX great winter vehicle In driving test vehicles, generally, price equals quality, performance and special features. Today, there are really no inferior vehicles, or they would not be in this very competitive marketplace. The real issue for consumers is what does my dollar purchase in the auto marketplace. Certainly, some car buyers just want the name and are loyal to cars and trucks driven over years of driving experience. Ford, Chevy, BMW and Cadillac have their lifelong traditional fans. However, in recent times the Japanese and Koreans have had a huge impact on the American auto marketplace. Not only in competitive price, longer warranties, but in value, quality and service. We see that Ford has bailed out of the car market except for

the popular Mustang models. General Motors this past week announced the closing of five U.S. auto plants that produce the Impala, Cruze, Volt plug-in hybrid, along with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac CT6 and XTS. Electric powered cars and hybrid/gasoline prototypes gaining large market shares with astounding fuel economy. The Asians are building more auto plants in the United States such as KIA, Hyundai, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. The competition in the auto industry has become intense and huge tariff issues linger at our borders. This week’s test vehicle is a keeper, the 2019 $54,800 Acura MDX (ASPEC) that has final assembly in East Liberty, Ohio using 75 percent U.S. and. Canadian parts. This is a high-end, all-wheeldrive sports model on an SUV frame. It is attractive with dark blue

“apex blue pearl” paint making it look dark and powerful with a V6-290 horsepower engine and a nine-speed variable transmission. The 3.5L engine has that good sound when accelerating to higher speeds and there are three mode choices of comfort, normal and sport. All three work well and the MDX has a terrific ride with a four-wheel independent suspension system that provides a soft and gentle and few road bumps. The new model has all of the latest safety equipment that includes the forward collision radar and braking systems. Interesting we headed out to Ft. Collins in a blinding snowstorm, but trusting in the Acura all-wheel drive, fog lights, all-weather tires, and heated outside mirrors to get us thru the snowstorm. The temperature was 33 degrees and heavy 5 p.m. traffic, but the car’s tires had a tight grip on the road and the snow wasn’t yet accumulating, but the roadway was wet with potential freeze hazards. I thought about turning back home, but all systems were “go” until suddenly a warning popped up on the speedometer

Nestled around development at I -25 and RidgeGate BY SUSAN SWEENEY LANAM

Did you ever wonder what the decorated ranch off I-25 at RidgeGate is? It’s the only historic property in Lone Tree and has kicked off the holiday season. The Austrian Ranch themed holiday celebration was held Dec. 1 with the generous support of sponsors Park Meadows Mall, Morning Star Senior Living at RidgeGate and HealthONE Sky Ridge Medical Center. Santa arrived with reindeer and carolers, wreath workshops, crafts, face painting, and festive Austrian food and beverages. The Schweiger Ranch Foundation received the 2017 Stephan H. Hart award for the Historic Preservation from History Colorado. The Schweiger Ranch celebrated the Christmas tradition of the Austrians who settled the ranch in 1864. See the before and after renovation. Visit Schweigerranch.org/ upcoming-events, or call 303-7900557 for additional information.

India’s Castle Restaurant & Bar on Arapahoe and 25, a busy intersection in Greenwood Village, has picked up many awards and accolades, living up to the fine standards that the restaurant is known for. With more than a decade of serving authentic traditional Indian cuisine with contemporary presentations, India’s Castle celebrates her 14th year anniversary with the new owners, Anju & Vipan Seth, both family friends of the Singhs and passionate about fine Indian cuisine. Inspired by the vibrant streets of North India in various cities, the menu takes on a repertoire of famous foods with a re-

classics and innovative creations. The culture of India is brilliantly captured with the exquisite selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian kebabs, drinks, biryanis and curries from the northern region. The same team of chefs at IC are proud to work with new owners. Both Vipan and Anju stated, “Our dishes share an intricate connection with the palates and memories of many who love Indian food. With a refreshed menu, diners can experience the different facets of the colorful country through a feast full of tradition and modernity all at the same time”.

Rev. Fr. James A. Foreso (Fr. Jimi), 47, Centennial, passed away Nov. 30, 2018, after an extended battle with glioblastoma brain cancer. He was born in Washington, D.C., Dec. 30, 1970, the son of James T. and Julia A. (Verbonitz) Foreso. On June 15, 1996, he married Eleni Francis at St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church in Falls Church, Va. Surviving are his wife, Eleni and three children, Karas, Kayla, and James T. II (JT) of Centennial; his parents, James and Julia (Verbonitz) Foreso, his sister Patricia Radmann (husband Jason) all of Williamsburg, Penn.; his parents-in-law, William and Jeannie (Karas) Francis; his brother-in-law Michael Francis (wife Jennifer) of Allen, Texas; his sisters-in-law, Tessie Duran (husband Tony) and Carrie Bing (husband Paul) of Albuquerque, N.M., nieces and nephews: Tyler, Miranda, Abigail, Matthew, Julianna, William, Lucy and Jenna and many aunts and uncles. Fr. Jimi was a 1989 graduate of Chantilly High School, Chantilly, Va, and a 1996 graduate of George Mason University, Fairfax, Va. On August 4, 2011 he was ordained to the Holy Diaconate of the Greek Orthodox Church. In 2012 he graduated from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Seminary, Boston, Mass. with a Master of Divinity and was ordained to the Holy Priesthood of the Greek Orthodox Church April 25, 2014, and assigned to St. Catherine Greek Orthodox Church, Greenwood Village. Friends were received Dec. 4 at St. Catherine Greek Orthodox Church, 5555 S. Yosemite St.,

Greenwood Village starting with morning prayers, followed by Liturgy and the funeral service Dec. 5. The family prefers in lieu of flowers memorial contributions be made to The Iconography Project, St. Catherine Orthodox Church, 5555 S. Yosemite St., Greenwood Village. Father Jimi was insistent that people be happy and full of laughter — he even made jokes at the altar. He always wanted everyone to feel loved, welcomed and accepted. He loved youth events for the church more than words can describe, he loved early morning softball games more than people will know, he loved crowded and noisy band rooms more than even the band kids did. He was committed in all times of his life, always turning to his faith for support. He wasn’t just a father to his own children but also to his friends and the youth of the church. He changed countless lives just by his smile, which was somehow both mischievous and sweet. If you ever needed somebody who would just listen without judgment, he was there. He is forever in our hearts. “Have fun storming the castle.”
