Appeals Court affirms Arapahoe assessor’s decision Ruling says taxincrement financing must begin immediately
Ta increment financing is something that ust can t wait. The olorado ourt of ppeals has affirmed a court ruling from one year ago that favored the rapahoe ounty ssessor s Office and its strict interpretation of the legally accepted timeline for when such approved financing plans should begin in a city s urban renewal areas.

Ta increment financing is a tool municipal governments can use to finance the redevelopment of so designated blighted property by diverting property ta es that would have been collected by counties, school districts and special districts for up to years to help pay off certain costs associated with urban renewal. n , the ity of urora approved two urban renewal
plans, each with its own ta increment provisions, including a delayed start date of up to three years in some areas. a dol, who retired in anuary, determined the year cloc was to begin as soon as the plans were adopted. urora filed an unsuccessful lawsuit in district court disputing that contention. othing in the plain language of [state statute permits an urban renewal plan s [ta increment financing provision to have a start date that is different than the effective date of approval of the plan itself, stated a dol s legal argument as now affirmed by both courts.

Apocalypse now—or pretty soon Englewood author mixes religious intrigue and history in suspense trilogy
Dave Cheadle has had a long relationship with the end of the world. As a teen in the 1970s, he would read the bestselling The Late Great Planet Earth by day and down popcorn to post-apocalyptic cinema by night. If it wasn’t coffee-table analysis of the end-times, it was Mel Gibson rummaging through dystopian Australia in Mad Max. Then, with literature’s year of 1984 in the proverbial “near future,” the young Cheadle wrote a letter to the Canadian government with an eye on escaping the “American Armageddon.” Maybe he could homestead in the barren Northwest Territories. “I had two buddies who were going to go with me, but we couldn t find any girls to go, headle said with a laugh. With those plans aborted, Cheadle spent years in research, majoring in philosophy and earning his stripes as a Christian scholar and writer. He became increasingly fascinated by the cycles of history, political turmoil and the literature of Biblical prophecy. On the shelf, next to Cheadle’s New Testament: The Fourth Turning, a book by William Strauss and Neil Howe that suggests history moves in 80-year cycles, each culminating in a cataclysmic event and “new order.” England’s War of the Roses, the American Revolution and the double whammy of the Great Depression and World War II were all part of the historical equation. The next climax would be around 2020, according to the authors. “I’ve always seen patterns in history and I just had a sense that in my lifetime that we would see another world-war disaster. Something big was going to come,” Cheadle said. “We are so sensitized to terrorists and bomb attacks at nightclubs that we’re living at the edge. This happens throughout history all the time. These cycles are predictable.”

Delivering marijuana? Deliver us from that
Thanks to Steven Newell, M.D., my attention was focused on SB17-192, a bill introduced by state Sen. Neville, Rep. Singer and Rep. Melton that would allow marijuana businesses to make delivery of medical marijuana, retail marijuana and retail-marijuana products to private residences legal. Under the bill, medical-marijuana centers and retail stores could use any employees or contract with a marijuana transporter to make deliveries to anyone’s home. I don’t get it. Why do so many people start to use marijuana when it has been proven to be a health menace? The Wall Street Journal has pointed out that the regular use of mari uana defined as once a wee by teenagers and young adults has led to their cognitive decline, poor attention and decreased IQ. That paper also pointed out that teens who smoked marijuana daily for about three years showed abnormal brain-structure changes and led to teen psychosis, as well as permanent brain damage. Supporters of marijuana legislation, such as SB 17-192, insist that times are changing and policies should also, but if home deliveries of marijuana are made available to the public, they are charting a dangerous future for too many Americans. Legislation should never do anyone any harm, but since SB17-192 opens the door to harm, I agree with Dr. Newell that this bill should be killed! Enough of these important and serious items. Time to lighten-up with a little humor. St. Patrick’s Day always brings out the police, intent on handing out tickets. One officer who stopped a blonde for speeding and as ed her for her driver s license couldn’t believe her answer. She replied in a huff, “I wish you guys would get your act together. Just yesterday, one of you guys took my license away and then today you expect me to show it to you.” Here’s one about a woman whose husband died. He had $20,000 to his
name, and after everything was done at the funeral home and cemetery, she told her closest friend that there was no money left. The friend said, “How can that be? You told me that he had $20,000 a few days before he died. How could you be broke?” The widow said, “Well, the funeral cost me $6,500, and of BY MORT course, I had to make the obligatory donation to the church and MARKS the organist. That was $500 and I spent another $500 for the wake, food and drinks. The rest went for the memorial stone.” The friend said, “$12,500 for the memorial stone. My stars, how big was it?” The widow replied, “Three carats.” The following backs up President Trump’s opinion of our press: A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, D.C., when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering, the lion jumps bac , letting go of the girl, and the bi er brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter watched the whole event and addressed the Harley rider saying, “Sir, that was the most gallant and brave thing I’ve seen a man do in my whole life.” The Harley rider replied, “It was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted.” The reporter said, “Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, and tomorrow’s paper will have this story on the front page. Incidentally, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have The biker replied, “I’m a U.S. Marine and a Republican.” The following morning, the front page of the paper headline read, “U.S. Marine assaults African immigrant and steals his lunch.”

Profiles in cowardice When John F. Kennedy submitted rofiles in Courage to a publisher in 1956, he had no idea of the enduring success of a book that examined eight U.S. senators and their principled, moral character. The book received rave reviews and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957. Kennedy, who collaborated with Ted Sorensen, presented a historic deep drive into the motivations and political cost to the eight senators. The book examined Sen. John Quincy Adams’s courage in going against his own Federalist Party and supporting President Jefferson’s effort to make the Louisiana Purchase, adding millions of acres of land that started the westward movement of Americans to the new frontier. Also included was Sen. Thomas Hart Benton, who fought successfully, over great objection from Southern senators, to prohibit slavery in the Western territories. His success in this effort cost him his political career. These are but a few examples of members of the Senate who had the courage to stand up for principles, rather than bending to poorly conceived partisan positions. Today, there are few, if any, senators who
would ualify for ennedy s criteria for a profile of courage. Over the last decade, no senator, other than perhaps JFK’s brother Ted Kennedy, has stood up to take principled positions on issues that affect the quality of life, environment or foreign policy and have had a direct impact of the average taxpaying citizen. Many decisions rendered by U.S. senators are based on partisan positions or favors for campaign contributors and personal gain. Political courage has continued to be less important to politicians focused more on the next election than caring for the constituents they represent. Witness the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, whose substitute would reduce the health coverage to lower-income families and increase tax refunds to higher-income families from $4,000 to more than $14,000. The Republican plans would be a tax break to high income families and increase profits to the health-insurance industry while increasing cost to low-income families. America needs senators who have the courage to tell the truth about what Congress is doing and to fight for the wor ing men and women of this nation. John F. Kennedy would expect no less.

Shanahan previewed to the EDG members the new developments at DEN, showcasing its additional terminals and 52 gates. She explained that the airport has 35,000 employees working in the local industry, becoming the largest economic engine in Colorado. The airport covers 53 square miles consisting of 17,000 acres of land. The new “Great Hall” main-terminal concept is expected to be approved by the Denver City Council in coming months. Shanahan explained that the construction on the new expanded interior would commence by the end of 2017, in a three-year phased construction period. Funds will come from government airport funds and grants along with private sector financing. She didn’t state the estimated cost of the three-year project.
Cherry Hills approves new Kent Denver Middle School
The Cherry Hills Village City Council meeting on March 7 heard another growth-and-development success-story request from Kent Denver School. Jerry Walker, Kent’s associate director, presented the council information about a new middle school building to replace the 50-year-old present middle school. Kent Denver School was described by Councilmember Katy Brown as “the Crown Jewel of
Cherry Hills Village.” Council approved the request unanimously with a lengthy discussion about capping the enrollment at 805 students and should the school go above that number, it would come back to council for a variance request. Council was interested in an entrance to Kent School from Colorado Boulevard and the Quincy venue intersection to reduce traffic congestion, if necessary, in the future. chool officials said the construction and new school should not lead to any new traffic challenges on uincy and that enrollment would remain near present levels. The school spokesman related that the new school was not to attract new students, but to improve classrooms and bathroom areas in the aging present structure. ome par ing lot and traffic realignments will be made on the campus. Construction is to commence during spring break with a one-year estimated build-out. Walker indicated that funding for the new building was being raised privately and a fund drive was ongoing. The council also requested that during summer months, if there are no night activities, that the campus lights be turned off at 9 p.m., if possible. In other action, the council approved changing the zoning on newly acquired Quincy Farm property from R-1 to O-2 open space. It was approved during a short public hearing.

I was impressed when the car doors opened at platform level so a suitcase could be rolled directly on board in any doorway. There were also luggage racks in the car near the doors. The seats were larger and more comfortable than light rail and had sturdy hand holders on each seatback corner. We headed east and north, stopping at two stations on the way: 40th Avenue and Airport Boulevard, and 61st Avenue. As we continued our route, it was exciting to see off in the distance to the east the cranes and towers of the Gaylord Hotel under construction. About 17 minutes after leaving the Peoria Station, we pulled into the covered track station at Denver International Airport. Total travel time with train changes was about one hour. A short walk north on the platform and I was inside the terminal. I took an elevator and two escalators up to the Westin Hotel lobby, where I passed a contemporary restaurant and made my way to the front desk. The attendant said room rates were about $269 plus tax for that night, but varied depending on occupancy. The hotel has meeting and convention rooms on various levels of the building. Returning to the terminal main level, I went inside and walked all around. Usually at DIA, I’m so concerned about getting through security in a timely manner that I spend no
time seeing what is in the terminal. I did notice there is now a large seating area in the middle where a fountain used to be. After having lunch at one of the terminal restaurants, I was back on the A train at 1:25 p.m. and reversed my trip. On the return R train to Iliff Station, I talked with a couple sitting facing me. They had made a circle from Nine Mile south to Lone Tree, reversed and gone to Peoria and were headed back to where they started. They said the trip from Lone Tree to Peoria took about an hour. One comment I have about light rail cars is that if you are pulling luggage or in a wheelchair and need to avoid steps, you must enter the very first car s front door by using the ramp on the platform.

City manager addresses recent armed intrusion Englewood’s Keck was the employee who confronted criminal
Daniel Rodriguez
Eric Keck
BY PETER JONES NEWS EDITOR
When an armed man with a hefty criminal record was caught rifling through a desk at Englewood Civic Center last month, City Manager Eric Keck was the employee who caught 30-year-old Daniel Rodriguez red-handed. “He was up to no good. I don’t think he had any agenda other than a crime of opportunity,” Keck told a meeting of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce on March 7. “I’m still kind of shaken by it. I actually saw him pull out a gun and point it at one of our employees and then at me and then run out of the building.” Rodriguez was identified by police Feb. 23, a day after
the altercation, as the result of anonymous tips prompted by the release of surveillance photos. He was arrested on outstanding warrants and other criminal charges. Keck said the city has revaluated security in the wake of the incident, but says the issue stems largely from the city
office’s location in a building that was originally part of the former Cinderella City shopping mall and is adjacent Englewood’s light rail station. “What we’re trying to ascertain is how can we still have an open civic center, but ensure we have adequate security as well,” the manager said.
Piko elected Centennial’s mayor pro tem
BY PETER JONES NEWS EDITOR
Centennial mayoral candidate Stephanie Piko may be getting a head start in her run for the city’s highest elected office the istrict 4 councilmember has been elected mayor pro tem for this year. “I am honored to have been elected mayor pro tem by my fellow Centennial City Councilmembers,” she said in a statement last week. “It is a privilege to be able to serve my community in this new capacity.” Piko was nominated by her peers last month before being elected unanimously including by her fellow mayoral candidate . . Whelan, who made the official motion by resolution. Whelan, a former mayor pro tem, had earlier declined a nomination to serve in the position again. On March 6, municipal Judge ord Wheatley officially swore in Piko as the new mayor pro tem, a position that serves mayoral functions in the mayor’s absence. The Centennial mayor is elected by a vote of the people. “I look forward to my continued work with Mayor [Cathy] Noon and the City Council to make Centennial an even better place to work and live,” Piko said. Election Day is Nov. 7. Noon is term-limited.

The altercation was the culmination of other recent episodes, in which intruders have helped themselves to employees’ lunches in the breakroom. Drug-related incidents have also been reported in the restrooms of the city building, which houses the Englewood Library. Although there has been talk of the city vacating what is considered prime real estate for another building, Keck said such proposals are on the backburner due to other priorities. The city manager acknowledged the police staff, at least two of whom were in the room, noting the impor-
tance of last year’s successful $27 million bond issue that will allow Englewood to build a more secure and modern police headquarters. “Thank goodness we have an awesome police department that was there very, very quickly,” Keck said.

Medication safety tips for children and adults Prescription and over-thecounter medications can save lives and help people of all ages manage certain conditions. When used correctly and under the guidance of a physician, medications are largely safe. It’s when medicines are used off-label, shared or taken in error that reactions and injury can occur. The American Academy of Pediatrics and their Healthy Children Organization warns that more than 7,000 children visit hospital emergency rooms every year for problems related to medication errors. Children are not the only ones in danger. Adults can make mistakes with their medications as well. For example, seniors who may be managing several different types of medications can inadvertently cause dangerous drug interactions by mixing the wrong pills. Pharmacists work diligently to help prevent medication errors. However, the general public can also do their part. The American Society of HealthSystem Pharmacists and the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy offer these medication safety tips. • When a new medication is prescribed, ask the doctor to explain more about it, including its intended purpose and any common side effects to be expected. • Make sure your doctor knows about all the medications you are taking, including nonprescription products, herbal remedies, dietary supplements, and vitamins. Some medications do not mix with
•
•
• seemingly innocent ingredients. Keep a running list of any medicines you take so you can easily and accurately share this information with your physician. • Question anything that you do not understand. Check the prescription for dosing information. or refills, ma e sure the refill information conforms to the original prescription strength. • Fill all prescriptions at the same pharmacy and develop a rapport with the pharmacist so that potential drug interactions will be agged. Pharmacists are well versed in medications and may be able to inform you as to the safety or risk involved in taking an over-the-counter product at the same time that you are on a prescription. • Many pills look the same. If you are confused and taking multiple medications, keep
•
• •
medications in the original packaging and double-check the labels before taking any medications. Use the right dosing tools. A spoon from the kitchen is not accurate for measuring out a teaspoon of medication. If you take multiple medications, use a pillbox to keep pills organized. The box makes it easier to manage medications and serves as a reminder if you have or have not taken a medication on a given day. Store medications as instructed on the label. The bathroom medicine cabinet may not be an ideal place to store medications, as bathrooms get damp, and that can compromise the integrity of the pills. Also, bathroom cabinets are readily accessible by all, including kids. It’s better to store drugs out of sight and reach of children. Keep dangerous medications locked away. Routinely discard expired or unneeded medications. Medicine take-back programs for disposal are a good way to remove medicines from the home and reduce the chance that others may accidentally take the medicine. Consult with a doctor before beginning or ending medication. Medicines play important roles in personal health. When used correctly, medications are assets, but caution should always be taken to ensure safe usage and storage of any medications.

Things to consider before downsizing your home
guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.
The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsi ing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial e ibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.
Proximity to family
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. f not, you li ely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.
Real estate market
The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate mar et can be fic le, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not ush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.
Medical care
Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities. In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you’re likely to need. Downsizing a home is not just about moving into a smaller property. To ensure you’re making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing.
Furniture
When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unli ely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shoc on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no

free computer classes. Most of the companies they work with offer refurbished tablets usually for under $100, and computers for under $160 that are available to everyone. And, they provide referrals to free computer classes, which are typically offered in public libraries across the U.S.
Discounted internet
If you don’t have any luck finding a low-cost service through EveryoneOn, and your income is low enough, another option is the Lifeline Assistance Program. This is a federal program that provides a $9.25 monthly subsidy to help pay for broadband internet service, or for a home or wireless phone. Only one benefit is available per household; either phone service (home or wireless) or internet (home or mobile), but not both. To qualify, you’ll need to show that your annual household income is at or below 135 percent
of the federal poverty guidelines – which is $16,281 for one person, or $21,924 for two. Or, that you’re receiving certain types of government benefits, such as Medicaid, food stamps, SSI, public housing assistance, veterans pension or survivors pension benefit, or live on federally recognized tribal lands. To apply, you’ll need to contact an internet provider in your area that participates in the Lifeline program and ask for an application form. To locate providers in your area, visit LifelineSupport.org or call 888-641-8722. Once the provider verifies your eligibility, they will begin service. (Note: The internet companies that partner with EveryoneOn do not currently accept the lifeline subsidy.) Send your senior uestions to Savvy Senior, P.O.

The ABCs of picking a Medicare supplemental policy
Dear Savvy Senior, Can you pro ide any ad ice on choosing a edicare supplemental policy to help co er things outside of edicare ’ll be in a fe months and could use some assistance. Looking for Help
Dear Looking, If you plan to enroll in original Medicare, getting a supplemental policy (also known as Medigap insurance) too is a smart idea because it will help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. Here are some tips to help you choose an appropriate plan.
Medigap plans
In all but three states (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin), Medigap plans, which are sold by private health insurers, come in 10 standardized benefit packages labeled with the letters A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N.
Plan F is the most popular policy followed by plan C because they provide comprehensive coverage. Plans K and L are high-deductible policies that have lower premiums but impose higher out-of-pocket costs. Plan F also offers a high-deductible version in some states. And a popular middle ground policy that attracts many healthy beneficiaries is plan N. For more information on the different types of plans and the coverage they provide, including Medigap options in Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, see Medicare’s “Choosing a Medigap Policy” guide at Medicare.gov/pubs/pdf/02110medicare-medigap.guide.pdf, or call 1-800-MEDICARE and ask them to mail you a copy.
How to choose
To pick a Medigap policy that works best for you, consider your health, family medical history and your budget. The differences
among plans can be small and rather confusing. To help you choose, visit Medicare.gov, and click on “Supplements & Other Insurance” at the top of the page, then on “Find a Medigap policy” and type in your ZIP code. This will give you a list of the plans available in your area, their price ranges and the names, and contact information of companies that sell them. But it’s up to you to contact the carriers directly to get there specific pricing information. You can also compare Medigap prices on most state insurance department websites (see NAIC.org/ state_web_map.htm for links), or you can order a personalized report from Weiss Ratings for $99 at WeissMedigap.com. Since all Medigap policies with the same letter must cover the exact same benefits (it’s required by law), you should shop for the cheapest policy.
Snack foods that promote better sleep
According to the National Sleep Foundation, changes in sleep patterns are a part of the aging process. Many people experience difficulty falling asleep and then staying asleep as they age, and that difficulty can make men and women over 50 feel more tired during the day. But even though difficulty sleeping may be a part of aging, that does not mean men and women over 50 cannot take steps to improve their sleeping patterns. For example, certain snack foods may help to improve quality of sleep, especially when these foods replace less healthy snacking options. While men and women over 50 should always consult with their physicians before making any changes to their diets, the AARP notes that the following are a handful of snack foods that promote better sleep. • Almonds: Magnesium is a mineral with muscle-relaxing properties, and almonds contain enough magnesium to help men and women get a better night’s sleep. A small amount of almonds before bed might be enough to make
falling and staying asleep easier. • Bananas: Much like almonds, bananas provide a substantial amount of magnesium. Bananas also contain the amino acid tryptophan, which many people associate with Thanksgiving turkey. While tryptophan might be most often associated with the sleepiness people feel after eating a holiday meal, it also has been linked to better sleep quality, so a banana shortly before bed might be just what you need to fall and stay asleep. • Cheese and crackers: One more traditional snack may just help you get a better night’s sleep. Cheese and crackers contain tryptophan and carbohydrates, which can induce a better night’s sleep and help you fall asleep sooner. • Cherries: Cherries contain the sleep hormone melatonin, and the AARP notes that recent studies indicated that participants who drank tart cherry juice on a daily basis fell asleep more quickly and slept longer and better than par-
ticipants who did not. • Hummus: The primary ingredient in hummus is chickpeas, which are loaded with tryptophan, folate and vitamin B6. Folate has proven especially beneficial to older men and women who need help regulating their sleep patterns, while vitamin B6 helps the body regulate its clock. • Peanut butter: Peanut butter is another snacking item loaded with tryptophan. Spread some peanut butter on a carbohydrate, whether it’s a slice of toast or some crackers, before going to bed, and you may enjoy a better, longer sleep. • Walnuts: Like cherries, walnuts contain melatonin, which can contribute to a longer, more restful night’s sleep. Walnuts also can help regulate stress, which is a leading cause of sleeping difficulty. Many men and women experience difficulty sleeping as they age. But the right foods may just help combat such problems and help men and women get a more adequate night’s sleep.
You’ll get the best price if you sign up within six months after enrolling in Medicare Part B. During this open-enrollment period, an insurer cannot refuse to sell you a policy or charge you more because of your health. You also need to be aware of the pricing methods, which will affect your costs. Medigap policies are usually sold as either “community-rated” where everyone in an area is charged the same premium regardless of age; “issue-age-rated” that is based on your age when you buy the policy, but will only increase due to inflation, not age and “attained-agerated,” that starts premiums low but increases as you age. Community-rate and issue-age-rated policies are the best options because they will save you money in the long run. You can buy the plan directly from an insurance company, or you can work with a reputable lo-
cal insurance broker.
Drug coverage
You also need to know that Medigap policies do not cover prescription drugs, so if you don’t have drug coverage, you need to consider buying a separate Medicare Part D drug plan too. See edicare.gov find a plan to compare plans. Also note that Medigap plans do not cover vision, dental care, hearing aids or long-term care either.
Alternative Option
Instead of getting original Medicare, plus a Medigap policy and a separate Part D drug plan, you could sign up for a Medicare Advantage plan that provides allin-one coverage. These plans, which are sold by insurance companies, are generally available through HMOs and PPOs. To find and compare Advantage plans visit edicare.gov find a plan.

The Beaux Arts Freedom Ball raises more than $2.2 million Beaux Arts Freedom ball guests enjoy music from the New York-based Bobby Attiko Band.
The 20th Anniversary Beaux Arts Ball presented by the Morgridge Family Foundation raised over $2.2 million to support National Jewish Health, the leading respiratory hospital in the nation. The Feb. 25, event honored grand marshals Debbie and Michael Feiner, Cathey and Richard Finlon, Mary Lou Blackledge Kortz and Donald Kortz, and Julie and Brent Morse for their philanthropy and in uence in the Denver community. More than 1,200 guests attended the Beaux Arts Ball, one of the most anticipated events on Denver’s social calendar. This year featured the transformation of Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum into the streets of 1770s America, inspired by Hamilton: An American Musical. The New Yorkbased Bobby Attiko Band was accompanied by a cast of two dozen performers who kept the event lively as guests stayed late into the evening to celebrate the 20 years of the Beaux Arts Ball
and the mission of National Jewish Health. “Most people take breathing for granted until they can’t,” said Michael Salem, MD, National Jewish Health president and CEO. “Through its care and scientific research, ational ewish Health is the only institution singularly focused on helping people with the complex process of breathing. .” Also honored at the event were Carrie and John Morgridge, who were awarded the Arthur B. Lorber Award for Distinguished Service. The Lorber Award is the highest honor given by National Jewish Health. Recipients have shown leadership in an area that has impacted the reputation, service, science or mission of National Jewish Health. “The Morgridges’ imprint on National Jewish Health is indelible,” Salem said. “They have been presenting sponsors of the Beaux Arts Ball every year since 2010. In 2011, they were honored as grand marshals. And in 2013, they gave National Jewish Health its largest campaign gift. In honor of that gift, National Jewish Health established the Morgridge Educational Campus, which includes the Morgridge Academy for chronically ill children and the Morgridge Fellowship Program.” The Morgridges were also honored with a special song about their history of giving set to rap music from Hamilton: An American Musical. Another highlight of the evening came as A. Barry Hirschfeld, a member of the National Jewish Health Board of Directors since 1981 John and Carrie Morgridge were and the evening’s honawarded the Arthur B.

marshals – a role he took on after he and his wife, Arlene, were honored as grand marshals in 1998. Many of those former grand marshals from the past 20 years were in attendance for the celebration. National Jewish Health Board Chair Blair Richardson recognized the group. About $700,000 of the funds raised at the evening event will support care and research for those suffering with food allergies. These funds were raised during a reverse auction called Fund-A-Need.

An American in Paris plays the Buell Theater through March 19.
‘An American in Paris’ makes Gershwin new again BY CLAUDIA CARBONE CONTRIBUTOR If you liked the 1951 movie An American in Paris, you will love this all-new adaptation with a fresh book by Craig Lucas set to the familiar tunes of the Gershwin brothers. On Broadway, it won more Tony awards than any musical of the 2014-15 season. Wow factors are vibrant choreography by Christopher Wheeldon (who also directs) and Bob Crowley’s dazzling sets and costumes. There’s a lot of dancing, and it’s absolutely sensational. Every style is represented—classical Broadway, beautiful ballet, jazzy modern and tap, though not as many tap numbers as those made famous by the indomitable Gene Kelly. But his role of Jerry Mulligan, American GI turned painter, is in great hands with Garen Scriber, an enormously talented singer, dancer and actor who electrifies the stage with his energetic performance. The story, loosely based on the movie, is a love triangle between three pals who fall in love with a reticent French shop girl in post-war Paris. Besides Jerry, there s dam, a edgling ew York composer comically played by Etai Benson. Henri (charming ic pangler , a Parisian heir who secretly wants to entertain, is already promised to the girl Lise. Each of the men try to win her, but only Henri knows why she
remains loyal to him, which isn’t revealed until the end. A demure Sara Esty plays Lise, a promising ballerina who beguiles the men with her innocent charms. Her dancing is as graceful and breezy as a willow bough in the wind. Together she and Scriber create magic, especially in the haunting and sexy pas de deux to the An American in Paris theme song that brings the love story to an impassioned climax. While the men try to win Lise’s heart, they collaborate on staging a ballet with the patronage of Milo Davenport (Emily Ferranti), a wealthy heiress who “discovers” Jerry and falls in love with him (I know, it’s complicated!). Meanwhile, Henri’s haughty mother, comically played by Gayton Scott, tries hard to close the deal on Lise’s “obligation” to her son. This is a story told through dance. It takes place on a magnificent set of ever-changing scenery. Using intricate background projections and movable pieces, Crowley shifts seamlessly from 1945 Paris to an art-deco extravaganza in the blink of an eye. An American in Paris plays the Buell Theatre through March 19. For tickets, call 303-893-4000 or visit denvercenter.org.

$18 million in gifts to art museum
Gifts will support the North Building revitalization, including gallery expansions to enhance visitor access
The Denver Art Museum announced three significant donations, totaling $18 million, to its orth Building revitali ation project, which will include upgrading and expanding galleries to enhance visitor access. The Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation contributed $10 million and Bonfils tanton oundation and Amanda J. Precourt each gifted $4 million to support the DAM’s estimated $150 million campaign. The s orth Building project was announced in December 2016 and aims to unify the museum’s campus and make key improvements to sustain its operations and relevance into the future. Designed by world-
renowned Italian architect Gio Ponti and Denver-based James udler ssociates, the orth Building opened to the public in 1971. The building houses the majority of the DAM’s permanent collection galleries, and the contributions made by the Johnson oundation, Bonfils tanton Foundation and Amanda J. Precourt will help expand visitor access to galleries and provide space to highlight more of the DAM’s permanent collections. “We are so grateful for these early and generous gifts to the
campaign dedicated to supporting some of the museum’s most notable spaces and collections,” said Christoph Heinrich, Frederick and Jan Mayer Director of the DAM. “These contributions have helped build the foundation of our campaign. They will not only allow us to upgrade current gallery spaces, but also create new spaces to showcase our collections as well as in-gallery opportunities for visitors to learn about and interact with more of our collections every day.”

The Glacier Silver Metallic 2017 BMW X4- M40i rests safely in the driveway. All $67,945 is parked for the evening, awaiting another test drive tomorrow. Delivery from the car vendor of this new BMW X4 was exciting. It is such an exquisite car to test drive. The brand name is important, especially in the higher-priced cars that have special sports-car appeal. This model is a SUV in style and design, but with special features. First and most important is the turbo-charged six-cylinder engine that produces a tremendous burst of acceleration. This is not typical SUV performance with a “sports mode” and an eight-speed transmission that includes manual and automatic shifts.

Slainte! Tim Turley A St. Paddy’s Day ode to a lucky auld Irish American
Editor’s note: The following profile of Centennial’s Tim Turley first appeared in slightly longer form in The Hoisted Pint, a publication of the Colorado Emerald Society. One of the grand treasures of the Colorado Emerald Society is our treasurer, Tim Turley. Tim has the energy of a beaver in spring and the dark wit of an Irish pub patron. If you’re not careful, he may take the “piss” out of you, but it is all in good humor. Tim was born in Carmel, Calif. just before World War II ended. His dad was stationed at Fort Ord and sent to the Aleu-
tian Islands. After the war ended, Tim’s dad opened a medical practice in Ridgefield, Wash. He was a country doctor and Tim grew up in a rural lifestyle until his sophomore year in high school when the family moved to Los Altos, Calif. In 1961, Tim entered the novitiate of the Brothers of the Holy Cross, the founders of that great Irish institution, Notre Dame University. He was sent to St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas and taught at

A touch of St. Patrick on Christmas: Centennial City Councilmember Kathy Turley and husband Tim.
Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif. Tim left the Brothers and teaching in 1978 and moved to Denver. He had the right mixture of compassion and toughness that a juvenile-probation officer needs to be successful. Within 20 years, he would be Chief
Probation Officer Turley [in the Denver Juvenile Probation Department]. Retiring after 32 years with just a few calluses and a mild case of cynicism, Tim had enough left in his tank so that when Denver Public Schools rang the bell for someone to manage a federal grant, Tim answered. He then went on to develop the Restorative Practice concept to reduce out-of-school suspensions and expulsions.
