Civil rights suit filed against Cherry Hills Village Former city employees allege sexual discrimination
By Jan Wondra Three former employees of the City of Cherry Hills Village have filed a lawsuit against the city and City Manager John Patterson. The suit alleges sexual discrimination and corruption. “The City of Cherry Hills Village intends to defend vigorously against allegations made in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court by two former employees and a former prosecuting attorney of the city,” said the city’s spokesman for the case, Pete Webb of Webb PR. “The city categorically refutes both the allegations and any liability associated with these employment matters.” The three ousted employees, Suzanne Rogers, a former Cherry Hills Village prosecuting attorney; Michelle Edwardson, a former animal-control officer; and former Acting Police Chief Jody Sansing made the allegations in a 65-page court document. The suit says sexuallydiscriminatory behavior and language toward Edwardson persisted over a period of time while Patterson was serving as the city’s chief of police. The suit says Rogers and Sansing filed an objection to the activity on behalf of Edwardson. After Patterson became city manager, all three were terminated. Cherry Hills Village, which has referred to the case as an “employment lawsuit,” not a civil rights or sexual discrimination case, has rejected all claims asserted in the filed documents. A written statement issued by Webb says discussions have been held among the parties over the past several months. “The city is fully covered for the employment claims made by former employees under the city’s insurance coverage with the Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency,” the document reads. Webb stressed that Cherry Hills Village citizens should be confident in “the professionalism and excellent standards of service provided by its Police Department and all city employees.” The case will be handled by Judge Lewis Babcock. At press time, no court dates has been set.

Lights, camera, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is Littleton’s only movie theater
By Peter Jones The Alamo fired off this week with an opening salvo that saw action star Pam Grier use her talents to help pop off champagne bottle tops – with a sword. No actresses, city officials or members of the press were hurt during this Napoleonic launch into Littleton’s only movie theater. “The legend goes, if the champagne bottle explodes in your hand, you’re probably going to die in battle so you might as well drink as much champagne as possible,” explained Alamo co-founder Tim League, who has used a saber to “uncork” more than 10 Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas across the United States. Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman, who now doubles as the star of a new Alamo promotional video, joined Colorado-based Grier and Alamo owners and managers on
March 25 for the grand opening of this unique theater concept, bar and restaurant located in the Aspen Grove shopping center. Littleton is the first Colorado venue for this unusual theater chain that is equal parts restaurant, firstrun theater, art cinema and quirky revival house. “One of my main jobs is not to forget why we got into this business in the first place,” said League, who with his wife opened the first Alamo in Texas 16 years ago. “We were a mom-and-pop theater. We were a community theater … and we were pretty extreme movie fans at the time. So we wanted to build for movie fans by movie fans.” One of the most telling examples: Alamo does not subject its audience to pre-trailer commercials. Instead, the theater precedes each show with 30 minutes of “bonus features” related to the upcoming movie, its subject or stars. For example in the case of The Dark Knight Rises, Alamo screened clips from an obscure Japanese
champagne !
Batman serial. Other movies have been similarly heralded with a starring actor’s audition tapes or other obscure materials. The chain also enforces – and celebrates – a strict no-talking-ortexting policy. Spoiler alert: Brinkman plays herself in a pre-film trailer that portrays the ill fate of a mayor who dares to conduct city business in a theater by cellphone – eventually winding up on the wrong end of an unhappy movie monster. Brinkman may have gotten a few acting tips as she screened her debut seated next to Grier, who later helped to fire off the Alamo with an onstage interview and a career retrospective on the theater’s first evening of official operation. The Emmy-nominated actress and East High School graduate was best known for a string of popular action – or “blaxploitation” – movies of the early 1970s before her major 1997 career relaunch in Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown. The Elbert County resident and

Littleton’s only movie theater opened March 25 with a career retrospective and conversation with Grier, who grew up in Denver. sometimes Aspen Grove shopper said she had been excited about the impending theater for some time. “I used to go to the Apple Store and thought, ‘Gee, they need a theater – and lo and behold, you did it,” she told the Alamo brass. “… I am so happy to be here.” The 32,000-squre-foot venue boasts seven theaters for a total of 960 seats, including a smaller theater with an intimate 38 seats. All have restaurant service. In addition to first-run mainstream and art films, Alamo will revive older movies and present film festival-like appearances from
actors, directors and others. The theater has hired 150 employees. Local theater co-owner Dave Kennedy said the project saw some challenges due to the exacting demands of Alamo, Aspen Grove and the City of Littleton, but said the final result, after three years, has made it through post-production without a flub. “We found out [the city] was fantastic to work with and we came up with what you see and are very proud of,” he said. “… For a thousand days, we’ve been waiting for this moment.”

Centennial resident figures out immigration phone scam
By Tom Barry Recently, a Centennial resident, who also works in the community, was woken up by an early morning phone call. The person initiating the call purported to be an official with Homeland Security. “You were supposed to submit your alien number to the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India, and you did not when you arrived in Colorado,” said the caller claiming to be a federal official. “We sent several letters to your parents in India and they did not respond to the letters, so we are calling you. “You will be deported in two days, you can discuss this matter with our attorney if you want to stay in the U.S.,” said the authoritative voice calling from a 202 - Washington, D.C., area code. “I was just scared about what was going on because it was a call from Homeland Security and I had not done anything wrong,” said “Ramesh.” (The Villager is not using the potential victims real name.) Ramesh, an Indian citizen, has been in Centennial on a legal temporary work-related visa since 2011. “The caller then told me, ‘I’m going to contact the official in the U.S. embassy to see if they can do anything for you,’” said Ramesh, who has IT technical expertise. “After five or six minutes, another man saying he was a government attorney gave me a case number. He then told me the official in the U.S. Embassy in India said that if you paid $852 to that case number, then I would not be deported.”
A case of stolen identity
The most frightening time was when the man claiming to be a Homeland Security official correctly rattled off Ramesh’s visa and passport numbers. The caller then accurately recited Ramesh’s parents’ names and address in India, along with the last residence address in his homeland, and his birthdate. “I was just wondering - how did they get my visa number and passport details,” said Ramesh. “These details are confidential and no one should know this information except Homeland Security.”
Sheriff and Immigration officer assist
Someone purportedly from Homeland Security recently scammed an Indian working legally in Centennial. He caught onto the scam and reported it to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. The potential victim provided a “morphed” image of himself.
An attempt to get money
The purported attorney then told Ramesh he would have to go to the nearest King Soopers. The caller then directed him to go to the Belleview and South Yosemite store and once the money was transferred to the Embassy, Ramesh would not be deported. “At that point, once the caller mentioned King Soopers and a Western Union money transfer, I realized it was a scam and they were just trying to get money from me,” said Ramesh. The caller kept Ramesh on the phone for around 75 minutes and pressured him not to hang up until he had made the wire transfer. During this time, Ramesh’s wife called Arapahoe County’s 911 dispatch center and reported what was happening. Ramesh then used his wife’s phone – muting the other caller – and contacted an Indian colleague at work to confirm that he did not have to provide an alien number to the U.S. Embassy. Ramesh then told the caller he had just confirmed with a friend that he did not need an alien number. The caller became very upset and immediately hung up.
An Arapahoe County dispatcher then called back and confirmed that the D.C. number was unable to be tracked and that the call was probably a scam. Ramesh then went into work and reported the incident to his employer who said they would investigate the stolen identity issue. The potential victim then went to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service – Denver Field, located at 12484 E. Weaver in Centennial – near Arapahoe Road and Revere. A USCIS officer met with Ramesh. The Homeland Security agency representative listened to the account of the ordeal and took Ramesh’s case number provided by the scammer. The official then called the D.C. phone number where the call was initiated. No one answered and the call went to voicemail. “Immigration will never ask you on the phone to give money,” said the official to Ramesh. The official then confirmed this was a phone scam and as Ramesh had thought, they were just fraudulently attempting to obtain money.
‘We are at a dead end…’
“We believe that this was a wire transfer scam,” said Capt. Larry Etheridge from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, who heads up the investigations division. “At this point we’ve referred this to Homeland Security and they will monitor and follow this if they get any other reports of this same number being used. “We are at a dead end – on any investigative lead.” The original sheriff’s investigator assigned to the case followed up with Ramesh last week and shared that the D.C. phone number was made from a Voice Over Internet Protocol. VOIP allows phone calls over the Internet and are exceptionally challenging to trace. The investigator then provided Ramesh his direct office number and said to call him if there are any other issues that arise.
Be prepared for phone, Internet scams
By Tom Barry In the last several years the FBI has received more than 300,000 complaints initiated by victims through their Internet Crime Complaint Center – www. iC3.gov. The FBI is anticipating the 2012 data, which is comprised of a variety of scams that includes Internet fraud, payday extortion claims, romance and phone scams. “The data from the ic3 website is reviewed and analyzed by FBI personnel and that information can be used to identify trends and Internet fraud, such as emerging scams…,” said Jenny Shearer, a spokeswoman from the FBI’s national office. “We refer complaints to a variety of law enforcement agencies including state, federal and international organizations for potential follow up.” The FBI encourages people to report any fraudulent issues online. “If it sounds too good to be
true, check it out,” said Dave Joly, special agent and spokesman with the Denver office of the FBI. The FBI does not have the resources to look into every scam…”
Anyone can be victimized
“Anyone can be victimized anyone,” said Capt. Larry Etheridge, who heads the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s investigative division. “There is always the potential victimization of elderly victims and those individuals who have language barriers or don’t understand our system. Some of these scams can be close enough to something that could happen. “A lot of these scams are originating from outside the country and it is difficult to track down where they are originating from,” said Etheridge a 22-year veteran of the department. “Internet technology makes it very difficult.”
Immigration scams
“Immigration scams are very
common and they are so common that our agency has a unit that is dedicated to investigating fraud,” said Marilu Cabrera, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service offices. “We partner with other federal and local agencies.” The agency encourages people to visit www.uscis.gov/avoidscams for additional information. Look under the “Tools to Help You Avoid Scammers” section. The best advice when online and dealing government websites is to remember that each website must end in “.gov” to be official, said Cabrera. “Be very careful about people who claim to be immigration experts or get them to the front of the line for a fee,” said Cabrera. “There are fraudulent websites that have been designed to look like a federal website with flags or seals.” The agencies’ “The Wrong Help Can Hurt” campaign addresses these issues.

By Tom Barry he U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known to most as ICE, quietly operates its main office in Centennial, which serves Colorado and Wyoming. This high-security complex was formerly called the Denver ICE Office of Detention and Removal Operations. It opened nearly three years ago on a multi-acre site. This center has maintained a relatively low profile amongst other office structures near Arapahoe Road and East Caley Avenue. The facility is near the flight path for Centennial Airport. A bountiful silver Homeland Security seal is affixed to the ICE signage in the front of the east parking lot. The facility is located in a quiet office park, and the casual observer passing by would not have any idea about the operations inside this veiled government agency.
Building named for public servant

rity umbrella organization. Bailey served in a variety of capacities from criminal investigations to adjudications and intelligence activities. His work took him throughout the United States and several foreign countries. In the late 1980s, Bailey was honored and his name was read into the Congressional Record. The two-story multi-colored brick building has paneled blue-mirrored windows on all four sides. The high-security complex has extensive camera coverage throughout the ex-
terior perimeter. The towering gray floodgates from Cherry Creek Dam are clearly visible with an unencumbered view from north side. “The building was specifically designed and built to house ICE Denver offices of Enforcement and Removal Operations and Chief Counsel,” said Carl Rusnok, ICE regional director of communications in Dallas. “This is a secure federal government office building that is not open to the general public.” A private security company Continued page 7
A visit to the USCIS immigration assistance center By Tom Barry Centennial is also home to the Denver Field Office for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration. The three story multi-colored pre-cast concrete structure is located at 12484 E. Weaver Place, northeast of the intersection of Revere Street and Arapahoe Road. Upon entering this secure federal facility, several armed private security guards greet visitors and process them and their personal belongings through screening devices. To the left of the main lobby is large and bright room with more than 60 chairs and several tables for clients. There are six service booths separated for minimal privacy. On the day The Villager went to the center, USICS officers supported two of the booths, as one had gone to lunch. Just prior to noon, there were only several clients who were quickly assisted. There were a small handful of brochures available on a rack in English and Spanish.
INFOPASS used for appointments
The center utilizes an INFOPASS Kiosk Priority Appointment System, which is just inside the doorway to the client service cen-
ter. This ATM-like unit has a flat touchscreen, offering 12 languages for clients to schedule meetings with immigration officers. Clients can also schedule meetings with this government office online at www.infopass.uscis.gov. Individuals without computer access can utilize the center’s kiosk without any charge. There is a campaign promoting the use of the kiosk, which “allows people who need an immigration appointment - an INFOPASS appointment,” said Marilu Cabrera a spokeswoman with the USCIS from Chicago. “Previously people had to stand in long lines for an appointment.”
USCIS addresses immigration matters
The USCIS assists clients with issues that include green cards, permanent and temporary work issues, humanitarian matters, visiting and status topics, citizenship, family, adoption and military matters for immigrants. Immigration officers can also address issues related to last-minute travel to see relatives for health issues or upon deaths of a family member. A large ceremonial room upstairs accommodates about 300 people. There are regular swear-
ing-in ceremonies for new citizens that are held at the center. This immigration office is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are limited hours on Friday from 7 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The facility is closed for federal holidays. A letter-sized information sheet was taped to the lobby window stating the rules and regulations about the federal facility. An adjacent sheet shows a graphic and notes that “Firearms and Weapons Prohibited.” On the south side of the USCIS center are two access gate arms for the employee parking area. Additionally, there is a small carport to accommodate a handful of vehicles within a secured area that is surrounded by a black metal wired fence. On the day The Villager was at the USICS, there were numerous people utilizing the center. That afternoon an immigration attorney was accompanying a citizen and his female companion for a meeting with immigration officials. A well-dressed Jamaican couple from southern Colorado had just arrived at the building to start the immigration process. They posed for photos in front of the center.

Opinion
Ode to an ’80s tan
It’s that time of year again, when families with an average of 1.86 children* and access to some type of motorized vehicle migrate south for a week of fun in the sun, or rather, hopefully not killing each other while suffocating under three layers of UVB protective clothing. I can’t help but get a little nostalgic as I pack a dozen bottles of hand sanitizer, ear buds and my candy cane shiv for the flight to Florida. Things were much simpler when I was a kid, and quite frankly, more tan. Despite repeated warnings from the Surgeon General and my preternaturally aged hands, I love the sun. In my book? Tan is good, and every single white-bellied resident of Cleveland playing cornhole on the beach this spring proves my point (by the way, if you happen to be a Facebook Robber and are casing my house, good luck getting through the copious piles of laundry, Halloween candy wrappers and discarded LIVESTRONG wristbands blocking all points of entry). When I was young, we didn’t have enough money to fly the
friendly skies, so we drove to Florida for spring break in The Grey Ghost, our family’s unaffectionate nickname for my dad’s sometimes air-conditioned, often not, Thunderbird. With a piece of masking tape cutting the back seat in half and delineating sides that dare not be crossed for fear of losing a limb, my brother and I played the license plate game to pass time, which pretty much tanked after about fifteen minutes because every single car headed south was from Ohio. Things changed once we crossed the Georgia-Florida border, though. With empty bags of pork rinds at our feet and the wind in our hair, we knew we’d arrived at a mystical place filled with lightning bugs, fudgesicles, and an unusually large amount of seedy lounges advertising Elvis impersonators. We all piled into one room at a value-brand version of a Holidome, and Mom doled out the quarters she’d saved all year long so we could have whatever we wanted from the vending machines. Eating taco flavored Doritos in bed while watching Saturday Night Live was nothing short of awesome, and as soon as I could see sunlight filtering through the curtains the next morning, I was out the door with my bottle of baby oil, a Teen Beat magazine, and a dream. That dream meant sacrificing anything necessary (like the outer layer of my skin) in my quest to become as tan as the Bain de Soleil girl in a week. Back then, a tan meant you were going somewhere in life, like the mall. Now, being tan can still take you places, but it’s pret-
ty much limited to your dermatologist’s office, usually for some minor outpatient surgery to get a spot of precancerous basal cell carcinoma removed from your nasal septum. Today, my family boards a plane to go on vacation, which is great, except for the aforementioned need to carry a concealed weapon that looks like a piece of half-eaten Christmas candy. And the ear buds that plug into something that, while providing entertainment, makes us more cotravelers than anything else. And the lines. Hence the nostalgia. But the only thing you can count on in life is change, so like every other pasty mother I know, I’ve packed the SPF 300 and a little something just for me that’s stashed away in the recesses of my luggage. No. It isn’t a baggie filled with the medicinal marijuana you can now buy on every street corner in Colorado to enjoy with your Caramel Macchiato before a great day at the beach. It’s a bottle of Hawaiian Tropic Diamond Strength Dark Tan Accelerator. Old habits die hard, and if youth is wasted on the young, I’m pre-qualified to appreciate every fine line coming my way. *According to the 2000 Census, the average number of children in families was 1.86. Apparently, a child isn’t considered whole until it threatens to run away unless you lift the ban on smartphones after 9 p.m. Stacie Chadwick is a writer who lives in Castle Pines.

South Metro Denver Realtor Association to host inaugural Diamond Circle Awards Celebration The South Metro Denver Realtor Association will host its inaugural Diamond Circle Awards celebration on Friday, April 26, at the Marriott Denver South at Park Meadows, 6 – 10 p.m. The gala event was created to recognize the association’s top-producing real estate professionals who achieved success during a challenging real estate market in 2012. “We asked our membership what the association could do to recognize their accomplishments, dedication, and old fashioned hard work, and the Diamond Circle Awards were initiated,” said Dale Carroll, president-elect of SMDRA and Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “Many members want to use this acknowledgement for their portfolio and for marketing purposes, which could help them achieve even loftier goals in the future. This will be SMDRA’s ‘Grammy’ awards night and we are holding it in a gala setting featuring excellent entertainment, a gourmet dinner, and an afterdinner party and dance. It will be
a very special evening for all attendees.” Master of Ceremonies for the Diamond Circle Awards is Sam Adams, a Denver area comedian and past winner of the Great American Comedy Festival. Adams has headlined in premier venues around the country, in addition to Red Rocks Amphitheater and the Paramount Theater. Clever, clean and hilarious, he has appeared on ESPN, Fox Sports, CBS, and the NFL Network. Adams was also the recipient of Colorado’s Print Journalist of the Year award in 2003. Odell Stroud, a professional singer and musician at Odell Stroud Entertainment & Events, will sing the National Anthem at the awards ceremony and will also sing during the evening dinner. Odell, a spokesperson for Rocky’s Auto (Officer Odell from the TV commercials), is a former Technical Support Specialist at the University of Colorado Hospital and Service Specialist at The Children’s Hospital. “It will be a fun, rewarding
evening and we are proud to host the Diamond Circle Awards,” said Jo Pellegrino-Ellis, 2013 President of SMDRA and Broker Associate with RE/MAX Professionals. “Our members deserve this recognition and it’s another benefit of being a SMDRA member. The awards will enhance their credibility and add to their stature within the community in general and the real estate business in particular. We also wanted to have a fun-filled evening that will be memorable and rewarding.” Sponsorship opportunities for the Diamond Circle Awards are currently available. For details, contact Hope Hughes, Professional Development Director at SMDRA, at 303-895-3374, email hope@smdra.com.

Littleton man arrested for swapping pot for ‘donations’

Sales remain illegal until state develops retail framework
F
By Peter Jones or those under the impression that they can distribute marijuana with impunity under last year’s Amendment 64, this is a cautionary tale. A 22-year-old Littleton man learned his lesson the hard way in Douglas County after offering on Craigslist to provide marijuana in exchange for a “donation.” Andrew Kipling Walton was arrested this month after arranging a “trade” with an undercover sheriff’s deputy who had posed as an interested marijuana user. Walton had allegedly offered to deliver marijuana to “any location” in an arrangement that would be “fully Amendment 64 compliant,” according to his listing. When he showed up at a Lone Tree address with 3.5 ounces, he was arrested. Walton was charged with unlawful distribution of marijuana and later posted $1,500 bond at the Douglas County jail. Confusion has swirled about the legality of marijuana since Amendment 64’s passage last November. Although voters in Colorado and Washington state

Andrew Walton have approved ballot measures that legalized the recreational use of marijuana at the state level, any use of the plant remains illegal under federal law. What’s more, although possession of limited amounts of marijuana is legal in the state per the Colorado Constitution, marijuana sales will remain prohibited until the state establishes a retail framework later this year. Amendment 64 allows adults age 21 and older to keep a limited number of marijuana plants and possess up to an ounce of marijuana while travelling. Once the Department of Revenue finishes crafting regulations, sales of marijuana will be permitted only
in licensed retail outlets. At present, the only legal sales of marijuana can occur with physician approval at licensed medical-marijuana dispensaries. If the allegations against Walton prove true, the suspect apparently believed that he could skirt state law by accepting “donations,” instead of setting a price for his marijuana sales. “Each $30 donation receives a free one-eighth!” his website listing said. “… Tip your driver! You tip the pizza driver, don’t you?” Even if that had been the case, Walton’s 3.5 ounces was more than three times the amount allowed while traveling.

provides the armed guards and conducts extensive security checks inside the lobby. A sizable and nicely appointed waiting area with high ceilings and two vending machines is adjacent to this secure area of this federal building.
Enforcement and Removal
“Enforcement and Removal Operations enforces the nation’s immigration laws in a fair and effective manner,” said Rusnok, a veteran government employee. “It identifies and apprehends removable aliens, detains these individuals when necessary and removes illegal aliens from the United States. This unit prioritizes the apprehension, arrest and removal of convicted criminals, those who pose a threat to national security, fugitives and recent border entrants. Individuals seeking asylum also work with ERO. “ERO transports removable aliens from point to point, manages aliens in custody or in an alternative to detention program, provides access to legal resources and representatives of advocacy groups and removes individuals from the United States who have been ordered to be deported.”
Detention cells onsite
Initially when asked by The Villager if this facility had any detention facilities, Rusnok ve-
hemently denied the existence of any detention units. A government source had previously confirmed otherwise to The Villager. Several hours later in an email response, Rusnok acknowledged that “the facility was built with holding cells for very short-term [less than 12 hours] holding, transitioning ICE detainees as they are processed. In the vast majority of cases, ICE detainees are held for about two hours.” The main detention facility for ICE is located at 3130 N. Oakland St. in Aurora.
Hollywood cop-like environment
On the north side of the structure are two massive gray garagelike doors that span about 20 feet wide by 15 feet high. “This area is ERO’s ‘sally port,’ which allows a secure area to drive in and drop off ICE detainees in transition,” Rusnok said. Adjacent to the transport structure is a large parking lot surrounded by an eightfoot high rod iron fence with forked tips. The open lot contains several dozen large passenger vans, SUVs, trucks and utility vehicles, many with darkened windows. Many of the rough-and-tum-
ble investigative and enforcement agents working for ICE operate out of this facility. One could compare it to the movie set of many popular cop shows with the agents, many in plain clothes, with a service holster belt that contains an ICE badge, photo ID, a semiautomatic handgun, handcuffs and a stun-gun.
Legal counsel shares building
“Our Office of Chief Counsel acts as the attorneys for ICE – both ICE directorates: Enforcement and Removal Operations and Homeland Security Investigations. The OCC field offices are under the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor,” said Rusnok, referring to other operations at the federal complex. “ICE’s Office of the Principal Legal Advisor is the largest legal program in the Department of Homeland Security,” said Rusnok. “… OPLA attorneys litigate immigration-related hearings that involve criminal aliens, terrorists and humanrights abusers.” U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, RAurora, spoke at the dedication of the ICE building dedication. His office said he was unavailable for an interview.

THEVILLAGER
By Tom Barry he popularity of suburbia began to take off in the 1960s. In that time period the population began to shift from Denver to neighboring counties. Community shopping centers were developed to address the needs of consumers in the bustling suburbs. The Cherry Hills Shopping Center (now called Marketplace) was initially constructed in a small part of the southeast corner of University Boulevard and Orchard Road. Over time, the development expanded to its current size. In the ‘60s, this land was located in unincorporated Arapahoe County and is now in Greenwood Village. One major grocery store anchor back then was Miller’s Del Farm, which then became Wild Oats and is now Two Mile Ranch, a market serving the community. Back then, the most notable retailer was Woolco, a division of Woolworth’s that was located
on the south side of the center. Woolco was an early discount department store where you could purchase nearly everything, similar to today’s Walmart or Target. The community’s original Woolco was located at the former Ross Dress for Less retail store which shuttered its doors at the center in late January. The store did not relocate. Late last year, Old Navy, another popular retailer at the Marketplace, relocated its store to The Streets at SouthGlenn. The two major retailers accounted for a significant portion of the leased footage at the Cherry Hills Marketplace, which is owned by institutional investors. Ross leased around 36,000 square feet and Old Navy utilized 13,700 square feet of retail space. “There is some interest awfoot and we are looking forward to a new generation of stores at the center,” said Jon Weisiger, senior vice president of CBRE, which leases the center. “The demographics of this location

are really unparalleled in this greater Denver market that combined with the traffic exposure on (south) University continue to make this a strong, desirable location.” The center is currently about 81 percent leased. Weisiger noted that in this last year the center has added a Subway, Dwell furniture, The Bunt Shop and Menchie’s – a frozen yogurt shop. “The outlook is positive and we are taking the property to the next level,” said Weisiger. When asked if the former Ross and Old Navy retail space of around 50,000 square feet would be subdivided, Weisiger replied there would be “a very strong” possibility. As a national trend, many large retailers are dramatically reducing their store sizes to remain competitive with the expanding online opportunities.

City of Littleton names 5 finalists for police chief
F
By Peter Jones ive finalists have been culled from a pool of 45 applicants to fill the position of retiring Littleton Police Chief Heather Coogan. All five are veterans of Colorado police departments. “I am excited about the candidates and look forward to meeting them in person,” City Manager Michael Penny said. “I am looking for a chief who will take what is working well and build on that, someone who will critically evaluate where we have opportunities for improvement.” The five finalists are Aurora Police Cmdrs. Frances Gomez and Rob McGregor; Richard Myers, a former chief with the Colorado Springs Police Department; Douglas Stephens, a Denver Police captain; and Robert Ticer, chief for the Avon Police Department The final interviews to fill the position will begin in mid-April and will consist of four panels: a panel of chiefs
from other agencies, a citizen’s panel, a department director panel and a Littleton Police employee panel. More than 40 people will be involved in the interview process. In January, Coogan, 58, announced her retirement effective April 1. The first woman to take the reins of a Denver metro police department and her two top division chiefs took advantage of an early-retirement program. In addition to Coogan, Robert Brandt and Bill Christensen also announced their retirements effective the same day their boss is scheduled to hang up her uniform. The incentive opportunity was offered to all sworn officers between the ages of 57 and 65. The offer includes city-funded health and dental insurance premiums until the employee turns 65. Division Cmdr. Gene Enley has been named interim chief and will begin serving in that temporary position April 2 and until the eventual chief is sworn in.
Greenwood Village seeks Victim Advocate Volunteers Applications due April 15
The Greenwood Village Police Department is looking for volunteers to assist in Victim Advocate support. The Victim Assistance program provides 24 hours a day, 7 days a week support and crisis response to victims of crime, and persons involved in traumatic events. Advocates may respond to crime scenes, hospitals or the police department in order to assist people in need. Volunteers are trained to provide crisis intervention and short-term support to victims of crime and people impacted by a traumatic event. Additionally, advocates can supply information on victim rights, victim compensation and referrals to agencies within the community. Training for volunteers will be provided by the Greenwood Village Police Department and will include 50 hours of training over a 10 week time period. Training will begin in April and run through June. Following
training, volunteers will be required to attend monthly meetings that are held on the first Monday evening of each month. Advocates will be required to sign up for two 12-hour, on-call shifts each month. Victim Advocate Volunteers are required to complete the 50-hour training course before assisting victims. Victim Advocate Volunteers should have a proactive attitude and excellent communication skills. Applicants should be compassionate, and have the ability to speak effectively to victims in crisis while maintaining a calm presence. This is a trusted and sensitive, but highly rewarding position. For more information or to request an application, contact Victim Advocate Coordinator Melissa Madsen at 303-486-8211 or mmadsen@ greenwoodvillage.com. Applications must be received by April 15 to be considered for the spring Victim Assistance Volunteer Academy.
Drought leads to East Cherry Creek watering restrictions Customers allowed to water 2 days per week
T
Submitted by East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation he East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District has announced important changes to customer watering schedules in response to intensifying drought conditions. ECCV serves roughly 55,000 people in eastern portions of Centennial and unincorporated Arapahoe County, west of E-470, along the Smoky Hill Road Corridor. These changes include delaying the beginning of irrigation season to April 15, two weeks later than in previous years, and adopting a two-day per week wa-
tering schedule for all residential and small commercial customers. Large irrigators will maintain three watering days per week, but will have watering times reduced from 16 hours to 13 hours per watering day. Parks and school sites also have specific watering schedules. The ECCV Board of Directors adopted changes to the 2013 irrigation and watering schedules following recommendations from district staff. Residential and small commercial customers with evennumbered addresses are allowed to water on Sundays and Thursdays. Customers with odd-numbered addresses may water on Wednesdays and Saturdays. “Our primary goal is to provide our customers with a reliable source of clean, safe water,”
said O. Karl Kasch, ECCV Board chairman. “It’s important all of us in the district do our part to conserve, to ensure a steady, reliable water supply through the summer when demand is at its highest.” The district has also altered its sod and seed-planting season in response to continued drought conditions. All new lawn seeding and sod planting must be done between March 1 and May 18. ECCV’s water supply comes from both nonrenewable and renewable sources. Currently, nontributary wells provide 60 percent of the district’s water with an additional 10 percent coming in purchase agreements with Denver Water. The remaining 30 percent comes from the South Platte River, as part of the district’s “Northern Project,” which treats water collected near Barr Lake
State Park before delivering it to the district via ECCV’s northern pipeline. The Northern Project went into full operation last spring and is a valuable asset as it relieves pressure on the district’s nonrenewable wells. However, due to the dry winter, the snowpack feeding the South Platte River is currently below 70 percent of average. Widespread drought conditions may also lead to a reduction in the supply ECCV receives from Denver Water. In addition to the mandatory watering and planting schedules, ECCV also encourages customers to work toward their own conservation goals and reduce their summer water usage by 20 percent. ECCV offers rebates for customers who purchase and install high-efficiency toilets and
washing machines to conserve water inside the home, and can provide customers with tips on reducing water needs in lawns and gardens. With these new schedules in mind, it is important to note customers may notice ECCV crews conducting an annual system flush in neighborhoods throughout the district in the next several weeks. Flushing is a water-quality procedure, ensuring that main water lines are flushed of naturally occurring sediment. Fire hydrants are opened to flush the system, a process that also allows ECCV to make sure all hydrants are in good working condition for fire-protection purposes. The system flush uses less than one-half of 1 percent of the district’s overall water supply.
Guest Column Colorado set to stage health care revolution
By Gary Campbell, President and CEO of Centura Health Search Google for the No. 1 cause of death in America and it will tell you that it’s heart disease followed by cancer. Google’s wrong. The No. 1 cause of death in America isn’t heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer or pneumonia. It’s the choices we make. About 20 percent of what we call health is the result of genet-
ics. Another 20 percent is due to the environment in which we live. And 50 percent is the lifestyle we lead. But it’s medical interventions — that final 10 percent of the pie — that accounts for almost all of the $3 trillion we will spend this year on health care in the United States. Why is it that so many of us only take personal responsibility for our health when a health crisis strikes? Why is it so hard for many of us to closely watch what we eat and drink, get plenty of exercise, better manage our stress, and take more care about what we do when we get behind the wheel of a car? America has the best medical care in the world, but that care can only do so much to reverse the effects of our lifestyle choices. Our current health care system operates like an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, waiting to pick people up when they fall. To which I say, wouldn’t we be better off building a fence at the top of that cliff? It has taken too long to recog-
nize that we should be working to stay well. Long-term wellness is where “value” lies for the consumer. But what we must realize is that value will require all of us to become better stewards of our own health and wellness. There is a growing body of studies that demonstrate that people can play an important role in determining their own health outcomes. One recent study by Fairview Wellness Services found that engaged and informed patients could reduce the cost of health care by an average of 8 percent. The more control we exert over our health habits, the healthier we will become, resulting in lower health care costs and better health outcomes for all. It’s a bit of an unspoken contract between you and your health care. At Centura Health, we’re willing to change the entire infrastructure of our system to make it more accessible, convenient, affordable, and wellness oriented, but we also have to rely on consumers to take personal responsi-
bility for their health. We believe that Colorado is fertile ground for a health care revolution that gives accountability and control back to the consumer. We live in a state that regularly challenges convention and often empowers its citizens to be independent and progressive. We believe the same can hold true for health care by effectively inviting the consumer to take control, driving the conversation and demanding better services on behalf of our parents, children, siblings, spouses, co-workers, friends and our communities as a whole. Centura Health is pursuing this revolution through an initiative we call Colorado Health Neighborhoods, which aims to move away from the current feefor-service model that rewards volume instead of value, encouraging consumers to play a more active role in their health care. We want to create a system that promotes coordination among providers to produce demonstrably improved health outcomes at an
affordable cost in a more convenient, service-oriented setting. In order to accomplish this, Colorado Health Neighborhoods puts the consumer in the driver’s seat, bringing together services and resources that are essential to well-rounded health care, including both medical services such as an urgent care center or a specialist physician, and services targeting health and wellness, such as coaches and online health literacy programs. We will always be there for you if you get sick, but what we really want to focus on is keeping you healthy. We think Coloradans will embrace this change. We have heard from communities across the state that they want better value for their health and the health of their families. Together, we can tip the scales and create a system that rewards coordination, prevention and keeping people healthy. Because you see, health care, like health itself, is all about the choices we make.

Springtime marks celebration of Easter, many egg-citing holiday traditions Colorado Egg Producers celebrate history of the holiday
Submitted by Colorado Egg Producers Association The weather is growing warmer, the days longer, and the grass greener. After a long winter, spring is finally upon us, which means the Easter Bunny is stretching his legs getting ready for the big day. With Easter just around the corner, the Colorado Egg Producers Association honors the history of the holiday by sharing Easter traditions that span the globe. “The beginning of spring and the Easter holiday are accompanied by many great traditions to celebrate this time of year,” said Dave Turunjian, a Colorado egg farmer and member of CEP. “Eggs are the traditional centerpiece of Easter. As local egg farmers, we take great pride in knowing that our friends, family and neighbors are using only the best, highest quality eggs in their festivities from holiday feasts to decorating fun.” CEP is a membership organization representing seven farms
throughout Colorado. CEP is committed to doing what’s right for its community, as illustrated by the regular donation of thousands of eggs to food banks throughout the state. Egg farmers throughout Colorado pride themselves on providing eggs to Coloradans. We are also proud to offer consumers the choice between cage, cage-free eggs, organic, nutrient enhanced, brown and white eggs. You can find locally produced, fresh, wholesome and safe eggs in the dairy case of your favorite Colorado supermarkets. In many countries, the Easter Bunny is a prominent symbol of this spring holiday. While the exact origin of the Easter Bunny is uncertain, the experts at History. com have helped narrow it down. Hares and rabbits are ancient symbols of fertility and new life, which would make them ideal “mascots” for the spring season and the Easter holiday. Sources say the Easter Bunny first arrived in America in the 1700s from German immigrants who brought with them the tradition of an egglaying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws.” Their children made nests in which this creature could lay its colored eggs. Even-
tually, the custom spread across the U.S. According to History.com, the egg is an ancient symbol of new life and is thought to be associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring. From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus’ emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during Lent. So people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, and then eat them on Easter as a celebration. Easter egg decorating is a fun tradition in many cultures and countries. Courtesy of Kinderinfo.com, an online children’s resource center, below is a list of international egg decorating styles. How will you celebrate this special and most “egg-centric” holiday?

Arapahoe High family collects $15K for Adam’s Camp
By Tom Barry ince mid-March, Arapahoe High School students, faculty, staff and families have held special events to celebrate Warrior Week and raise money for a special charity. Four years ago they switched from supporting the Make-A-Wish of Colorado program exclusively to their student council each year selecting a locally based charity. For the second year in a row, 30 council members chose Adam’s Camp. This nonprofit provides diverse programs for children with special needs locally and at Snow Mountain Ranch, which is operated by the YMCA of the Rockies in Granby. Adams’s Camp was founded by the current CEO whose son’s name bears the nonprofit’s name. Adam is now in his 30s. The program works with toddlers to young adults with special needs and their families, offering activities in the metro area and in the mountains. The wellknown charity subsidizes half of the cost for each participating family with donations. The first evening of Warrior Week included an ice cream social at the neighborhood Dairy Queen where a percentage of proceeds went to the fundraiser. On another night, Arapahoe had a concert featuring
S
Ian Brennan shoots and scores two points for the senior’s team that won the annual Arapahoe High Warrior Week game.
University of Colorado’s Buffoons, an a capella group, and the Arapahoe Singers, a top performance choir. An inaugural silent auction was held before the concert and made more than $650. Over $4,000 was donated to Adam’s Camp during the annual Arapahoe basketball game. More than 400 students and family members came to see the biggest basketball game of the year on March 21. The popular annual event pitted the seniors against the faculty. What made the night special was each team included children with special needs who participated in the game. The senior’s team also included eight members of both the girls and boys varsity teams who had recently completed winning seasons. The faculty and staff put together a scrappy team that included Principal Natalie Pramenko. The game was officiated by Steve Sisler and Darrell Meredith, assistant principals dressed in their official zebra-striped refereeing attire. “Warrior Week is one of the things that make Arapahoe special,” said Pramenko. “Tonight is just an example of how great teens can be with tremendous hearts.” Arapahoe’s 30-plus band members got the evening started by revving up the adjacent students and the crowd on the opposite side of the court. The master of ceremonies was Grace Marlowe, a highly organized junior and student council member. She was joined by more than 30 student volunteers. This was the wildest and most entertaining of all of the basketball games this last season as everyone came together to support Adam’s Camp. The seniors were clad in yellow shirts and faculty in black – the school’s colors. Throughout the fundraising event there were a number of male students dressed up and entertained the crowd with renditions of Disney movies and other songs. The crazy choreographed antics made the crowd laugh.
Arapahoe’s Matt Glasscock at 6-foot-5 successfully jumps over a very concerned Jade Nguyen, a sophomore cheerleader standing at almost 5 feet tall during a slam dunk competition by the senior boys. At halftime, the boys from the senior varsity team put on a slamdunk competition to the delight of the fans. Matt Glasscock, a senior hoops player at 6-foot-5 successfully launched over Jade Nguyen, a sophomore cheerleader at almost 5-feet tall after several attempts. From behind the backboard you could clearly see the look of fear and concern on Nguyen’s face who was very relieved after the feat was accomplished. In a touching moment with less than one minute to play, Jake Whitney, a very small child, attempted to make a basket. The scorekeeper stopped the clock with 10 seconds remaining. After a number of attempts Whitney scored the final bucket and the senior’s team beat the faculty 80 to 70. “I was most impressed with the level of compassion and selfless effort put forth by a bunch of teenagers who had nothing to gain by their efforts,” said Jim Brennan, who is on the board of Adam’s Camp and whose child Ian participated in the game. “If the students of Arapahoe High represent our future, we are in fine shape.”

Colorado’s prescription for affordable insurance Health Exchange CEO speaks at DTC Healthcare Symposium
By Peter Jones The idea of a statewide healthinsurance exchange has been one of the many perplexities of health care reform, but here is one simple way to look at it. “It’s an online shopping place. It’s a marketplace,” said Patty Fontneau, executive director of the new Colorado Health Benefit Exchange. “It’s Travelocity or Expedia, except it’s the Travelocity or Expedia of health insurance.” Fontneau gave a 45-minute primer on the concept to a room of local business leaders on March 21 during the DTC Healthcare Symposium organized by the DTC/ Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce. The nonprofit CEO likened the exchange to a technology startup. “But it’s one with political overtones and federal funding,” she
The DTC Healthcare Symposium on March 21 offered a variety of information booths, testing locations and breakout sessions on a range of health-related subjects.

said. “So it’s this very interesting and unique environment.” The idea is to increase choice and make it easier and more costeffective for Colorado consumers to buy health insurance as the multi-pronged 2010 Affordable Care Act is rolled out over the next seven years and an additional 30 million U.S. citizens receive mandated insurance coverage. Beginning in October, Colorado individuals and businesses with 50 or fewer employees will be able to compare and contrast insurance plans from different companies and purchase the policies that fit their needs on the exchange’s website. Coverage from the plans will begin in January 2014. Companies with fewer than 100 employees will be eligible to use the exchange in 2016. Businesses will also be able to let their employees buy their own insurance online, instead of being forced into a one-size-fits-all group plan. The exchange – which is slated to be renamed Connect for Health Colorado later this year – is one of many statewide exchanges being established across the country. According to the Affordable Care Act, states must establish their own exchanges, partner with the federal government on one, or allow the
federal government to coordinate an exchange on behalf of the state. Fontneau is convinced that the Colorado Legislature – under the advisement of a blue-ribbon panel – has made the right decision. “Ours is better and cheaper,” she said of Colorado’s program. Although consumers will not be required to buy their insurance through the exchange, there will be financial benefits to doing so. A range of income-based premium reductions and tax credits will be available on the site and smaller businesses with 25 or fewer employees will be eligible for a tax credit. The government-created exchange operates as a nonprofit organization and is governed by a board of directors. It receives no tax funds and in the long term will be funded by administrative fees charged to insurance companies. Start-up costs were covered by federal grants per the Affordable Care Act. Fontneau said her goal as CEO will be to find affordable health insurance for as many Coloradans as possible. “At the end of 2013, I define success as an operating exchange well underway to some of our most aggressive targets for enrollment,” she said.

The grand opening of Natal to Nest childbirth and pregnancy wellness center is March 30, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Natal to Nest to open in south Denver
S
By Jan Wondra pend any time with Natal to Nest Founder Stacey Melito, and you realize she is all about nurturing families into being. “Whether it be education and childbirth classes, prenatal and fertility yoga, lactation consultation, massage, mother-tot fitness or the many other classes we’ll offer, ‘nurture’ is the word that establishes our mission,” she said. “Nurturing begins in expectation, doing the right things before birth and after.” Natal to Nest is a new education, fitness and resource center for expectant parents and new parents, located in south Denver at 8955 S. Ridgeline Blvd. Suite 500, just north of Town Center in Highlands Ranch. Its grand opening festivities are set for March 30, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. The center says it is the first comprehensive resource in the south Denver area to provide information, resources and healthy beginnings for expectant parents, new parents and especially for those preparing to become pregnant and facing infertility challenges. Melito, the mother of three, has been a childbirth educator and doula since 2001. She is passionate about the value of education to health pregnancies and enjoys working with practitioners to support expectant couples. “The nurturing of a healthy family includes the whole family, not just mothers,” she says. “Dads have a responsibility too. So often they are left out and don’t feel that they have a place at the table. But really, this is a family nest that is being nurtured. There is a place for them at Natal to Nest.” During her years helping to educate expectant families and
couples hoping to become pregnant, Melito has experienced just about everything. She’s accustomed to middle-of-the-night delivery calls to curious requests from expectant dads about what to expect (she answers all questions honestly), and has even had birthing balls bounce out of her car and roll down hills at 2 a.m. Those wishing to attend the opening festivities can RSVP to 303221-NEST (6378). There will be an Easter egg hunt for children younger than 6, and prenatal, fertility and parent-tot yoga demonstrations every half hour. Kids can enjoy face painting, while parents have an opportunity to meet the instructors. There will be a 2 p.m. grand opening raffle drawing for childbirth classes, each a $300 value. Registration for April classes is already underway. Those interested in childbirth, fertility awareness, or breastfeeding classes can go to www.nataltonest.com to register. Natal to Nest will also be offering a regular schedule of prenatal, fertility and parent-tot yoga, with registration available online. “We’ll be offering a free early pregnancy workshop all during the month of April in celebration of our grand opening,” said Melito. “It’s so important to get the right start.” The first free class will be April 15 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. It will cover topics from the changing body, weight gain and foods to avoid, to the growing baby, morning sickness and choosing a care provider. Seating is limited and reservations are required. Call 303-221-NET (6378). For additional dates, times, and registration information for the free session during the month of April, call, or visit www.nataltonest. com.

Arapahoe/Douglas Works! helps 110 find work at hiring events in January, Feburary
A
Submitted by Arapahoe County rapahoe/Douglas Works! hosted 35 customized hiring events for local businesses in January and February. More than 600 jobseekers attended the events and 110 people were hired. “As the economy slowly recovers, the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! workforce center has ramped up its efforts to help metro-area employers recruit talent and fill positions,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Bill Holen said. “Dozens of businesses are using the public workforce center’s services to plan and market hiring events where recruiters can interview candidates efficiently and offer jobs on the spot.” Arapahoe/Douglas Works! customized hiring events in early 2013 for Aerotek, Centura Health, Comcast, Dish Network, Elavon, First Transit, Frontier Airlines, Jeppesen, Kolbe Striping, Lowe’s, Marriott, Marshalls, Safeway, TWTelecom and Wells Fargo. The workforce center also invited businesses to the Jan. 18 Military and Veterans Employment Expo, which was attended by more than 1,000 National Guard members, reservists, veterans and spouses. “The Arapahoe/Douglas Works! workforce center has gone above and beyond to help make us successful in Centennial,” said Peter Hancock, account executive with Aerotek, which hired 21 employees at its Jan. 30 hiring event. “With their customized hiring events, we have been able to extend offers the day of the event and been able to start [employees] the same week.” Hiring events are just one of many no-cost services offered by Arapahoe/Douglas Works! to connect businesses with qualified jobseekers. The workforce center exists to help identify a competitive workforce in the region, which also helps businesses keep their recruitment costs low. The workforce center can
also help businesses write effective job listings and post jobs on www.ConnectingColorado.com, the workforce system’s statewide database of jobs. The Business Development Team can search the database for registered jobseekers who meet a business’s qualifications and then send automated emails to candidates about job openings or hiring events. Arapahoe/Douglas Works! also can help to prescreen candidates for positions and set up interviews before a hiring event. The workforce center has private interview rooms and large spaces for hiring events that are available to businesses at no cost. It also offers skills and personality assessments to ensure that a jobseeker is a good fit for the business. “Within days of our visit, over 150 targeted resumes were collected, screened and delivered to us for our open positions,” said Nicole Sandoval, human-resources manager with Pulte Mortgage, which used the workforce center for employment services in 2012. “I will absolutely continue to utilize A/D Works! as a primary, free source and will continue to encourage all of my professional associates to do so as well.” Arapahoe/Douglas Works continued to offer more hiring events in March for Advantage Sales & Marketing, American Automation, Aerotek, Comcast, Dish Network, Golden Harmony, Sprint, TransFirst, Western Summit, Wells Fargo and Trillium. The workforce center organized a job fair on March 9 in Aurora for 15 employers that was attended by more than 250 jobseekers. More events are planned in April.

Eaglecrest JV had an amazingly successful season with first place victories in their division at 6 out of 7 local competitions, including the Colorado State Championships. In all, 17 teams from high schools across the country competed in the Large JV division at a preliminary round at the NHSCC. Eaglecrest JV was one of nine finalists to compete a second time, which determined the final rankings. All contending teams qualified for Nationals by winning first place in a regional competition prior to the NHSCC. The Eaglecrest JV cheerleaders faced a great challenge in December when they had to re-choreograph a large portion of their routine, including the pyramid finale, for two fewer girls. The team had a very long and demanding season, beginning with try-out clinics and try-outs in April 2012, followed by regular practice sessions in spring and camp over the summer. In addition to competing, they cheer at the home games for the EHS JV football, girls’ volleyball, and boys’ and girls’ basketball teams.

General receives fitting tribute Dignitaries honor parachuting Gen. Jim Hall
By Peter Jones Several hundred movers and shakers from the worlds of Colorado politics, military and media converged at Glenmoor Country Club in Cherry Hills Village on March 24 to honor retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Jim Hall. Those paying tribute to the pioneer of military parachuting included U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, former Gov. Bill Owens and former U.S. Rep. Bob Beauprez, among a host of other dignitaries and government officials. Proceeds benefited the special-needs trust for Hall’s son, Jim “Eagle,” a Special Olympics athlete.
Irish Tenor Anthony Kearns, a friend of Hall’s, was the firstrate entertainment. Hall, 86, a Centennial resident profiled in the March 14 Villager, served as a flight engineer in World War II before developing many of the most valuable parachuting techniques still used by the U.S. military. In his 2010 memoir Parachuting for Gold in Old Mexico, Hall documented his decades in the armed forces, his civilian adventures implied by the book’s title, as well as his experiences with Fidel Castro and his tenure in Hollywood as a stuntman, producer and scriptwriter.

Search is on for 2013 Designer Show House
Proceeds benefit Children’s Hospital Colorado
Fuller Sotheby’s International Realty Broker Associates Trish Bragg and Maggie Armstrong announced that the search is on for the 2013 Designer Show House benefitting Children’s Hospital Colorado. The pair will work to identify a “for sale” home in Denver and invite local designers to add their creative flair to decorate it for a special fundraising tour next spring. Since its inception, the Designer Show Home tour has raised more than $80,000 for Children’s Hospital Colorado, and the creative marketing strategy also helped lead to the sale of the two previous Designer Show House homes, with thousands of people touring the properties. “The Designer Show House tours have become somewhat of a community event, especially for people who want to see the creative work of some of Colorado’s most talented designers, within the setting of a one-of-a-kind home, all benefitting a tremendous cause,” said Bragg. “We’re putting the word out now to find next year’s Show House, and we’re excited to continue to support the Hospital.” Lindsey Alexander, senior event manager, Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, said, “Children’s
Trish Bragg and Maggie Armstrong Hospital Colorado Foundation is thrilled to partner with Denver Designer Show Home again in 2013. This event committee excels in combining a beautiful home for the community to tour with fundraising for Children’s Colorado that helps children and their families live healthier lives.” Home sellers who are interested in having their home considered to become the 2013 Designer Show House benefitting Children’s Hospital Colorado should contact Bragg and Armstrong at 303-638-6355 or via email at trishandmaggie@fuller properties.com. “Our brokers are finding creative ways to help our customers sell their homes, while helping local charities at the same time,” said Shannel Ryan, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Fuller Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s very gratifying to have such talented brokers taking a large chartable role in the local community.” For more information about the Designer Show House, visit www. denvershowhouse.com.

Etiquette
According to a Facebook poll from a few months back, the most common reason friends de-friend someone are postings regarding politics. Such postings assume that every friend feels the same as you do about your political leanings and that assumption is made without sufficient personal knowledge of this sensitivity. Even within political parties there are deep chasms from one extreme to the other and lots in between. Those who do post political leanings on Facebook
reveal more about themselves than their friends ever knew. Some also assume that members of a same ethnic or religious group share their political party loyalty. Not so fast! Preaching about politics from a pulpit can reduce church/ synagogue membership as fast as a member can go from being seated to diving for the door. We personally became offended when this happened to us. Their replacement knows better. America is still a melting pot and to avoid a meltdown among your social groups, avoid politics. The same caution applies even among close family members. Raised in one political party, offspring often distance themselves from their elders by switching party. If you remember the 1970s, remember too the drastic societal norms changes. Send your kid off to college around Labor Day of freshman year and in walks someone entirely different for Thanksgiving. One other political etiquette problem is with a rude reporter. We’ve all known John Hickenlooper for a long time and he’s a friendly guy, ducking the slings and arrows that have brought down other politicians. But Gov. Hick, as we call him, had answered one reporter’s question regarding an alleged killer’s father and the guv’s friendship with him. He replied that he would never give special attention to a friend just because he was a friend. When asked the same question again, nagging for the kind of reply the reporter still wasn’t satisfied with, the guv let loose. I agree with his reaction, hinting that perhaps the reporter and his local TV channel’s access to him could be affected. There is a risk to being a nagging pest.

By Linda Wommack estled in a unique spot where wind patterns are unlike anywhere else in the state, an almost freak of nature are Colorado’s Great Sand Dunes. Today the area is known as the Great Sand Dunes National Monument, designated by an Act of Congress on March 17, 1932. Then on Sept. 13, 2000, President Bill Clinton signed the “Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve Act,” which gave the area a second distinction, that of National Park status. The sand dunes truly are “great,” as they are the tallest sand dunes in North America, rising to an incredible 750 feet at times, as they are constantly changing. According to researchers who know these things, the sand began forming dunes 440,000 years ago. The sand and soil deposits, containing rich amounts of magnetite, or black oxide, from the flowing Rio Grande River stayed in the San Luis Valley. Over the subsequent thousands of years, the westward blowing winds picked up these sand deposits particles, blowing them farther west where they bounced back against the mighty Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains. With this continuous force of nature, the sand began to build. Then another force of nature occurs, one more reason why the sand dunes constantly change. Several small streams, created from the waters of the Rio Grande River, flow through and around the perimeter of the dunes. These streams, over time, erode the outer edges of the dunes, carrying the sand downstream. Meanwhile, a few of these water tributaries sink into the sand. Even so, at the peak of the dunes, if one digs down just a few inches, wet sand is evident. As the winds change peri-
COLORADO HISTORY
The barren sand in the foreground is often filled with water from Mysterious Medano Creek.
odically blowing from the west, coming from the southwest, the huge deposits of sand are picked up again, blowing them again into the mountain range, where they bounce back on top of the sand from a different direction. As nature would have it, sometimes the blowing sand joins the main dune field, which covers 30 square miles, and at other times the sand settles at the floor, where it eventually is covered with grass and vegetation, creating a source of food for the diverse wildlife. The winds change during the summer months, causing a reverse in the shape of the sand dunes. Thus, the wind changes the shape of the dunes daily. Because of the windsand the upper air disturbance, precipitation is quite low on the sand dunes, averaging around 11 inches of rainfall per year. While it does snow on the sand dunes, the snowfall is typically very light and soon dissipates with the high Colorado sunshine. Yet the high evaporation rate on these sand dunes qualifies the area as desert land. Temperatures play a part, as well. Although summer temperatures are not typical of normal high desert areas of the West, the average temperatures at the
dunes are 95 degrees Fahrenheit during the summer months, which are very high in this area of the Rocky Mountain region. Conversely, extreme low temperatures during the winter months, while not unusual in the Colorado mountains, nightly temperatures at the dunes often drop well below zero. This large variation between high and low temperatures also contribute as a qualifier for the high desert status. All of these varied forces in nature created a lack of abundant water in the area. The intermittent Medano Creek, which many who live in the area call the “Mysterious Medano Creek,” as it appears at springtime during some years and then disappears, and some years it never appears at all. When it does appear, the creek flows along the eastern edge of the sand dunes, not far from the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. When nature’s precipitation is high enough and the snow runoff from the Sangre de Cristo mountain range is enough to drain into the creek bed, Medano Creek appears and flows. Another reason given for the “occasional” appearances of the creek’s water flow is that as the
winds blow, fresh sand continually falls into the creek bed. Small underwater sand dunes are thenformed that create mini-dams continually forming and then breaking down, thus the waters of Medano Creek are unable to find a secure and stable streamed. When the creek does flow, especially during high mountain runoff seasons, mini-waves are created at intervals of a few minutes as the water flows downstream. Unfortunately for this writer who visited the Great Sand Dunes National Monument three years in a row, in 2010, 2011 and 2012, each time during the summer, the Medano Creek was not present on any of these trips. Rather than mysterious, or even phenomenal, the tour guides said it was due to the severe drought conditions in the West. In any case, the lack of water was a particular motivation for turning the Great Sands Monument into a National Park, as this would allow for added protection of the limited water supply to the area. With the help of the National Nature Conservancy, the federal government was able to purchase the 97,000 acres of the historic Baca Ranch, which
nearly tripled the size of the national park. More importantly, the land purchase, located on the north and west sides of the national park area, included the 14,165 foot Kit Carson Mountain and the 14,080 foot Challenger Point, which are the source of the water drainages in the southern portion of the San Luis Valley. The park site is located 35 miles northeast of Alamosa, on Colorado Highway 150. The visitor’s center is a great place to begin your experience here. From the walking trial one can begin to venture out into the desert sand and even climb the dunes. The surface temperature of the sand can reach 140°F in the summer months. The hike to the top of the dunes and back will take approximately 90 minutes. The view from the top is spectacular, but be forewarned, it can be strenuous as the altitude 8,200 feet above sea level. The Great Sand Dunes National Monument with the 750 feet tall dunes piled against the edge of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains is quite a startling sight. It is a testament to the pure force of Mother Nature.

Spotlight On Business Tradition is lookin’ good at Tilted Kilt
Would you like some corned beef with that cabbage? The Tilted Kilt does not skimp on either.
By Peter Jones The Kilt Girls may be what lures some into the doors at the Tilted Kilt, but it is the pub-themed food, fun – and yes, even family-friendly atmosphere – that keep many of the restaurant’s customers coming back for a modern twist on Celtic charm. “People really resonate with the pub experience, whether they’re Scottish, Irish, English – or not,” said Lisa Voss, co-owner of the Denver area’s two Tilted Kilt franchises, including the newest one in Greenwood Village. “It’s been so fun to be part of a concept where everyone enjoys coming down and having a lot of fun.” There is no escaping that the 10-year-old Tilted Kilt brand is best known for its Kilt Girls, the friendly female servers who famously don plaid mini-kilts and tops. The restaurant’s tagline: “A cold beer never looked so good.” Having said that – and this writer would not disagree – the owners of Colorado’s two Tilted Kilt outlets are quick to stress that attractive waitresses are where the restaurant’s theme begins, not where it ends, stays or ogles. “Once you get in here, I think you realize that it’s just a part of the bigger concept,” Voss said. “The girls in the outfits are fun, but I think people are resonating with the whole energy, the sports watching, sitting together with your pals.” It is also about the quality food – a diverse menu that is influenced, but not obsessed by the traditional pub fare of the British Isles. The Kilt tilts a nod to the auld country with its fish and chips and Irish stew. The St. Patrick’s Day menu boasted, among other items, old-style corned beef and cabbage [with lots of cabbage] and the popular Scotch eggs – two hardboileds wrapped in sweet and spicy sausage and “fried to golden perfection.” The restaurant’s shepherd’s pie is among Voss’s favorites: Seasoned ground beef, carrots, peas and mushroom gravy topped with garlic mashed potatoes. “It comes in this big kettle. The vegetables are all around with a mound of potatoes in the middle. It’s just rich and delicious,” the coowner said. Some of Tilted Kilt’s less-traditional items are still creatively influenced by the United Kingdom, examples being the Scottish cheesesteak [in sandwich or pizza form] and the Gaelic – not garlic – Chicken served in an Irish
whiskey cream sauce. Other decidedly non-Celtic dishes include the spicy black-bean veggie wrap, fish tacos, a Sloppy Jane and Fat Bastard’s Meatloaf Sandwich: “Get in my belly!” The bottom line, says Voss: Cleverly clad women are not enough. “In the restaurant business, if you’re going to be successful in the long term, you have to have wonderful food. You need a reason to come back,” she said. “Our food is fresh and made from scratch.” Voss and her husband Mark earned their stripes in the restaurant trenches long before going plaid. Both have backgrounds in advertising and marketing and had worked for the Wendy’s corporation before eventually starting up one of that company’s metro-Phoenix, Ariz., franchise stores. “That was an amazing experience,” Voss said. “It was a great family-oriented corporation, especially when Dave [Thomas] was alive. It was a great organization to grow up in business. They do everything so very well. We learned about operations, marketing and the sense of really understanding the customer.” After trying their hands at several other casual-dining concepts, the couple eventually settled on the Arizona-based Tilted Kilt, a burgeoning restaurant chain that had been launched on a near-whim in Las Vegas, Nev. in 2003. According to lore, it took Harrah’s casino little more than an hour to jump on the idea after an initial pitch from Tilted Kilt founder Mark DiMartino. Some 70-plus restaurants later, the Kilt has tilted its way across the United States. “We felt like it had a lot of great elements,” Voss said. “It also afforded us the opportunity to come up to Denver and raise our family.” The couple opened its first Kilt on the 16th Street Mall in 2009 and followed up in the Denver Tech Center last November. As the corporation’s area developers, the Vosses are also selling other Tilted Kilt franchises in Colorado, New Mexico and northern Texas. A Colorado Springs location is expected to open later this year with one or two more restaurants likely in metro Denver. So far, it has all been the luck of the Irish for the entrepreneurial couple. “We feel like we’re in another catbird seat,” she said of the Greenwood Village location. “We are so excited to be here.”
“Our Tilted Guilt is outrageous,” said coowner Lisa Voss. “It’s a partly baked cookie dough. It’s hot and has a big scoop of ice cream on top.” It comes in both chocolate chip and macadamia nut varieties – and as our reporter attests, it’s incredible.
