Creek raises $16K for Make-A-Wish and Wish of a Lifetime
By Tom Barry On March 1, Cherry Creek High School staged a pep rally akin to a three-ring circus that would have made Barnum and Bailey proud. There were literally different events going on throughout the hour. The rally was a culmination of the fourth annual Wish Week where students attempt to raise funds through donations for the
Make-A-Wish of Colorado for kids and the Jeremy Bloom Foundation for seniors. The afternoon began by Creek’s band pumping up the students and faculty with a lively melody. One of last year’s recipients, John Thompson, was escorted by Carly Weiner, a senior on the pom squad. He smiled proudly as he danced briefly to the background music while stu-
Regards for Broadway? Business district and its critics race the final mile
By Peter Jones Jon Cook knows virtually every inch of South Broadway in Englewood. “I have been working there almost all of my life,” he said. “When I was 12 years old, I was washing cars in a car lot on South Broadway.” The 62-year-old businessman no longer scrubs hoods for a living. In recent decades, he has been more likely to own the car dealers’ properties. Over the years, Cook has accumulated a significant assortment of the buildings and lots that stretch along South Broadway between Yale and Hampden avenues. Although Cook hesitates to say how many properties he owns, others in the neighborhood have estimated his ownership to be as much as 40 percent of what has been designated Englewood’s “South Broadway Mile.” “I’ve seen many changes to Continued on page 4

dents cheered. His wish was to see his family back East, as it had been awhile. The afternoon’s masters of ceremony were Elena Shaw and Cole Gendleman, both seniors, who introduced the acts and kept the colorful activities flowing. Student organizers brought four large exercise balls to the center court of the gym. The objective
was to have four blindfolded volunteers attempting to play musical chairs with exercise balls. While all of these activities were going on, hairstylists Caitlin Hessek and Margaret Griffiths from Aveda Academy Denver – Pure Talent Salons in Downtown Denver volunteered their expertise. They came to shave the heads of several boys and to clip the longer hair of the girls who donated to Locks of Love. “I was just ready for a change and thought it was a good idea to donate my hair,” said Cassie Continued on page 2

Colorado raised more than $200K in 2012 for Make-A-Wish
An Creek student works the crowd of fellow students to collect funds for the end of Wish Week. The money went toward granting two wishes to a senior and a child.
Blindfolded Creek students play musical chairs with large colorful exercise balls as one of the many activities to culminate the fourth annual Wish Week to raise funds to grant wishes. Continued from Page 1 Rhodes, a sophomore. “I wanted to help contribute to the cause – Wish Week.” Eight members of Creek’s Stomp Band then energized the crowd by playing their household and garage instruments, which ranged from trash cans and lids to plastic buckets. Emily Zykan a junior, beamed her smile while banging and banging a trash can. The always gregarious Alan Evans livened up the crowd with a brief solo atop his plastic container. In a trivia contest, Creek Principal Ryan Silva was asked the Latin word for goat. He did not have the correct answer and gulped green goo as a penalty to the delight of the students and faculty in the bleachers. Only one student correctly answered a question. Members of the student senate then grabbed blue pails to go amongst the crowd for one last attempt to do some fundraising.
In the grand finale, the guests of honor LeAnn Grayum, 66, and Thlia Vigil, 4, came to center court. “The Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Jeremy Bloom Foundation were each presented checks for around $8,000 for a wish to be granted to the respective child and adult,” said Jensen Handwork, a Creek senior. Vigil faces a life threating health condition and had just returned the night before from her wish trip to Disney World in Florida. She went on the excursion with her younger sister, grandmother and her mom Azucena. “She was qualified for the wish and we focus on the wish in order to bring hope, strength and joy to a child,” said Katrina Tamminga Crook, with Make-A-Wish. “Her wish was to go to Disney World and the time gives them an opportunity to focus on being a family. Due to the advances of medical science, a
lot of our wish recipients go on to live long and healthy lives.” Grayum who lives at the St. Paul Care Center just south of City Park had always wanted to sky dive. Since she no longer has the full use of her legs, Grayum thought the next best thing would be a hot air balloon ride. “I’m going to enjoy everything from getting into the basket – the lift off and the view,” said Grayum who will launch from Boulder with her two kids. “The students at Cherry Creek are wonderful and we were early (for the rally) and a student took us for a tour of the school. They have a terrific bunch of kids there.” Other schools, including Rock Canyon in Douglas County, raised $60,000 with $8,000 being collected in their “miracle minute.” About 60 high schools from throughout Colorado raised more than $200,000 last year for Make-A-Wish of Colorado.
“I was just ready for a change and thought it was a good idea to donate my hair,” said Cassie Rhodes, a Creek sophomore. Margaret Griffiths of Pure Talent Studios cut her hair.

Laughlin: ‘This is a classic battle between tenant and landlord’ Continued from page 1 the good, and I’ve seen things that haven’t worked,” Cook said of the Downtown Englewood mile, which since 2007 has been marketed by the tax-supported South Broadway Business Improvement District. According to Cook, the neighborhood BID is, itself, among those things that have not worked very well along the aging, eclectic strip. Although he was an early supporter of the organization and the tax it levies on the district’s property owners, Cook says on balance the BID has succeeded only in wasting money and opportunity. “They had a great idea and we
worked hard to sell it to a lot of people, but it all went away and was just not as we presented,” he said. Cook is one voice in a chorus seeking to have the City of Englewood dissolve the BID this month, but his one “vote” could potentially tip the scale. While his views do not necessarily represent the majority of property owners, his opposition is expected to carry greater weight due to the sheer number of properties he owns. Cook and other BID opponents submitted a signed petition last month to the Englewood City Council. In order to dissolve the BID, the owners’ signatures must represent at least 50 percent of the district’s county-

assessed value and 50 percent of the district’s total acreage. The signatures – including Cook’s heavily weighted one – will be evaluated at a public hearing on March 16. If the council determines that there are enough valid signatures to meet both of the required mathematical stipulations, the BID will be automatically dissolved in May. Signature “validity” will be in the eyes of the council, which is not required by state statute to verify each individual signature, as the Secretary of State is obligated to do with candidate and ballot-issue petitions. According to City Attorney Dan Brotzman, the burden will instead be on the individual property owners to challenge, add or remove signatures with the council acting as arbiter. “If a business comes in and says my name is on the petition, but I don’t want to dissolve the BID, they can remove their name. The opposite is also true, so the percentage can change during the hearing,” Brotzman said. “Also, a number of the properties are held in partnerships or trusts so they’ll be trying to work through the issues to make sure the right people have signed.”
Lights on Broadway
The South Broadway Mile is among the more diverse stretches of Broadway, a largely urban thoroughfare that runs from Adams County to Highlands Ranch with stops like Downtown Denver and Antique Row along the way. When southbound drivers cross the line into Englewood at Yale Avenue, they have officially entered the “South Broadway Mile,” a strip that includes such destinations as the Gothic Theater, the Twin Dragon Chinese restaurant, Frame de Art, Smoke Signals tobacco shop and Ted’s Clothiers. The mile to Hampden could scarcely be more eclectic with neighbors like Isis new-age bookstore, the Café 180 nonprofit restaurant, the Catholic Store and the Quacker Gift Shop, a retailer devoted entirely to rubber-duck products. In an effort to connect the disparate businesses under a united marketing and improvement strategy, a majority of property owners that participated in a 2007 mail-in election voted to create the South Broadway Business Improvement District. Brian Hart, owner of the Frame de Art, was one of the BID’s early supporters. “I’ve always believed we can do more as a group of businesses than we can individually,” he said. “We can be a liaison to the businesses, property owners and the City Council. It takes many people to make an area nicer. You have to get together.” Over the years, the BID has tried its hand at a range of “improvements,” from displaying artwork and Christmas lights to marketing the mile on the Internet and hosting the Eat & Beats all-day music and beer festival. While the organization has had its passionate boosters, its critics, including Cook and others, argue that the BID has wasted too much time and money on marketing and not enough
Some of the tax assessment collected by the South Broadway BID has helped to maintain public art in the neighborhood. The board will not collect an assessment this year.
This is a classic battle between tenant and landlord. The tenants are the ones who primarily see the benefit because it’s helping to brighten up the area and make it a better place for the businesses. Landlords aren’t quite seeing it that way. - Englewood BID president Bob Laughlin
on tangible improvements. “Our intention was to spruce up that district so people would stop and support the business owners – not spend money on non-asset based spending,” Cook said. “One of our ex-board members was shot two or three times and is lucky to be alive. If we had more proactive safety measures, I think the graffiti, robberies and vandalism would stop. But the board has ignored that and continued to spend money.” That money has been well spent, according to BID President and property owner Bob Laughlin. As a landlord and a former South Broadway business owner, Laughlin says he has seen the benefits of the BID from both perspectives. “This is a classic battle between tenant and landlord,” he said. “The tenants are the ones who primarily see the benefit because it’s helping to brighten up the area and make it a better place for the businesses. Landlords aren’t quite seeing it that way.” Hart said, “Some of the property owners live out of state and could care less.”
Eats, Beats & other complaints
From landlord Cook’s perspective, the perceived “wasteful spending” reached its pinnacle with Eats & Beats, an all-day festival held in June
2011 in a parking lot behind a few buildings in the 3400 block of South Broadway. Although originally conceived as an annual event in the vein of South Pearl Street’s destination music festivals and as way to attract traffic to the neighborhood, the event stalled after Cook and others protested. “By their own admission, they lost $40,000,” Cook said. “I’m against taxing hard-working people and having a party with it. That’s shameful.” While Laughlin concedes the festival was not a financial success, he says the event could have been a successful longterm promotional event had it been allowed to continue. “It was a start to something that we could have built on. We hoped it would be a moneymaker or at least break even, but at least we’d market the area, but [BID critics] raised enough stink that we thought we’d better re think it,” he said. BID critics have also frequently questioned the organization’s transparency, albeit with vague criticism. “The BID hasn’t been open and accountable and has just been a farce,” Cook said. Cook could not cite specific examples of the organization’s accountability problems, referring those questions to his daughter, Dominique Cook, an attorney who has been active in the anti-BID movement, but did not return a request for comment. Laughlin says such charges are entirely scurrilous, noting that meeting minutes are easily available on the organization’s website. “Our meetings are always open to the public. They’re always posted on the website,” he said. “That’s possibly the reason they’re a bit disorganized because everyone who wants to come and get their voice heard can. If someone wants to come look at the checkbook, they’re welcome to.” In fact, Laughlin says such meetings led the BID to compromise with critics in the neighborhood. In the face of complaints by Cook and others, the board voted not to impose any tax assessment on property owners for the year 2013. The City Council, which has largely supported the BID, has limited discretion in its actions related to the BID. For example, if opponents fail to reach the mathematical thresholds for petitions, the officials could hear testimony from business owners and make a decision about the BID’s future. But if opponents do collect the required signatures, the council would have no choice but to dissolve the entity, according to City Attorney Brotzman. Should the BID be dissolved on March 18, both sides have pledged to continue bettering the neighborhood anyway. Supporters, for example, say they would continue the neighborhood’s website – and even Cook said he would do his part. “I am willing to do some volunteer work to get people on each block to help plant flowers and keep the area clean,” he said. “I desire to make this area as nice as it can be. I’ve been working at it all my life.”

breath and working together to solve budget challenges by March 27 – when the government must be funded again. Expect military cuts to be restored as part of a new “Grand Bargain.” Senators usually have the final voices of wisdom and they now seem to be taking the lead in starting to work together after years of inaction. The Republican Congress will not budge on raising taxes to fund more deficit spending. The United By Mort States is $16 trillion Marks in debt, which now matches our annual gross domestic product. That puts us in a category of debt similar to Greece. Republicans and Democrats can let the sequester go forward, but restore spending in the budget debate at the end of March. Expect this to happen.

Thank you Ginger Parietti for By Estelle Meskin sending me the following story – unknown to most people… “Although the most popular move in 1933 was King Kong, everyone was talking about another film called Ecstasy, because of the gorgeous young Austrian actress who took off her clothes in one scene and ran through the woods naked. Louis B. Mayer, head of the MGM studio, said Hedwig Kiesler, the star of Ecstasy, was the most beautiful woman in the world.

By Tom Barry “Swedish furniture giant IKEA became entangled in Europe’s widening meat scandal Monday [Feb. 25], forced to withdraw meatballs from stores across Europe amid suspicions that they contained horse meat,” said an Associated Press report originating from Stockholm, Sweden. When asked about meatballs after The Wall Street Journal broke the story on Feb. 25, Annie Boeckman, Centennial’s director of public relations, said, “I can just tell you it’s a lot of meatballs, it’s the most popular item that people eat in our store followed by salads. In the restaurant, meatballs are the most popular item on the menu and in the Swedish Food Market, meatballs are amongst the most popular take home items. “All of our meatballs are sourced from a U.S. and Canadian supplier and made by a U.S. supplier located in Illinois,” said Boeckman. “Our meatballs contain only beef and pork, absolutely zero horse meat. We didn’t have to remove any meatballs from our store because we were not part of the batch from Europe.” Boeckman said when the story broke last week she heard about it the same time everyone else learned about the European meatballs potentially being tainted with horse meat. “What I can speak to is that our supplier is compliant with the USDA guideline and all the packing plants and processing facilities are under USDA inspection and have USDA

inspectors on site,” said Boeckman. “The IKEA group – IKEA of Sweden was alerted by a food inspection group in Europe,” said Boeckman. “The IKEA group initiated an analysis of all of the meat products in the food range – meat products that IKEA sells in Europe.” Other popular items at the small grocery-like area near the checkout stands include Lingonberry jam and
drinks. “I think overall IKEA is committed to serving and selling high quality food and that it’s safe and healthy and that it’s produced with care,” said Boeckman. “I’m sure that’s what the European people would expect as well.” There was no visible signage relating to the tainted meatball issue in Europe at the Centennial location.
IKEA mistakenly provides internal document Traces of horse meat found in European meatballs
By Tom Barry IKEA pulled its meatballs from European shelves last week after food inspectors found traces of horse meat, according to The Wall Street Journal, which broke the original story. The Villager has obtained an internal IKEA document that details some of the global furniture retailer’s actions surrounding the recent controversy. IKEA stores, including the one in Centennial, had marketed Köttbullar meatballs in their in-store restaurants and Swedish Food Market freezer cases. IKEA’s corporate office in Conshohocken, Pa., released a statement to the media on the subject. “All meatballs sold in our IKEA U.S. stores are sourced from a U.S. supplier. When this issue first came to light in Europe, we mapped the sources of the meat in our meatballs. … IKEA is committed to serving and selling high quality food that is safe, healthy and produced with care for the environment and the people who produce it,” the release said, in part.
IKEA replies via email
The Villager requested an interview from Mona Astra Liss, IKEA’s U.S. corporate public-relations director, who replied, “Thanks for your interest. Our statement is in our pressroom. We will answer your questions via email.” In response, The Villager emailed seven questions. The replies echoed
the initial corporate press release. In one question The Villager asked, “Should European consumers of IKEA meatballs have the same realistic expectation of food safety as U.S. consumers and why?” “We want to make sure all our customers around the world are getting meatballs that comply with IKEA global standards,” Liss’s email replied.
IKEA provides internal document
IKEA provided an internal corporate document as an attachment – a mistake, presumably. The memo was issued Wednesday, Feb. 27 and noted, “This document is to support you in answering questions. Do not distribute externally or print and display internally.” About one-third of the way into the IKEA memo, a headline reads, “Global Statement, for your information only. Do not use in the U.S. This is only for use in impacted countries!” The last two sentences were in a bold typeface and highlighted in red. The document related to the horse meat issue in Europe and was directed to IKEA’s corporate management abroad. “…Already, two weeks ago the IKEA Group started performing DNA analyses of all meat products in the range, including DNA testing on our meatballs,” the document said. “We are continuously performing a large number of tests on meatballs and they are also continuously tested on the initiative of different authorities and of our supplier in Sweden. So far, the number of tests amounts to several hundred.”
‘Indications of horsemeat’
“Based on some hundred test results that we have received so far, there are a few indications of horse meat. Together with the Swedish supplier in question, we have decided to withdraw from sales, also the wiener sausages (containing minced meat from pork and beef) from that supplier. We continue to collect the test results,” the correspondence said.
Prepping executives
The IKEA attachment provided talking points for responses by executives in a Q&A summary. In addressing DNA testing of U.S. meatball suppliers, the furniture retailer gave this talking point, “Yes, in an abundance of caution, we have decided to DNA test the U.S.-supplied meatballs.” As to the duration DNA-testing, IKEA said, “We expect that the initial testing will be completed in approximately one month but will do our best to expedite that process.”
IKEA addresses horsemeat and fish sourcing
The IKEA memo also stated, “The ban on horse meat in the U.S. expired in 2011. However, the [U.S. Department of Agriculture] will not inspect the slaughter of horses for human consumption, which effectively keeps horse meat out of the human food chain.” In closing, the IKEA internal statement reiterated that all of its meat products sold in this country are sourced in the United States. The massive worldwide retailer also noted that it will not serve fish and seafood that are “red-listed” by industry organizations due to “the depletion of many fish species in our oceans.”
GV considers modification of utility undergrounding policy
A
By Jan Wondra short Greenwood Village Council meeting on Feb. 25 was followed by a significantly long study session. Most significant to many Greenwood Village residents was the debate regarding undergrounding policy and the long awaited undergrounding of utility lines in five residential neighborhoods. The city has learned that initial estimates to complete the projects will be higher than anticipated. Xcel Energy guidelines require that the line cannot be undergrounded only where it crosses streets, but must be buried for the entire distance of the line. “This places us in the position where to underground just 50 feet over a road for example, we may have to underground 431 feet of line,” said City Manager Jim Sanderson. Undergrounding utility lines and removing utility poles has been a long-term Greenwood Village policy. Its 2008 contract, a 20year agreement with Xcel Energy that renewed its 1988 agreement, includes a provision to convert overhead lines to underground lines. Funds representing 1 percent of Village residential and business utility payments are accrued by Xcel Energy as an annual set-aside to cover the cost of underground improvements. They are not part of the city’s budget. The city has placed a priority on undergrounding utility lines that cross roads, and where the utility right-of-way (ROW) lies along easily-accessible major roads. City staff is recommending a change in the way the priority scoring is done to reflect new information that will require substantial easements and higher costs to implement the
current policy wording. Greenwood Village’s short list of residential undergrounding projects includes Dayton Street, which has been completed, and five other areas that include four street crossovers: Cherry Hills Village North, Greenwood Hills, Long Road, as well as the intersections of Franklin and Cherryville, and University and Orchard. City Engineer Derek Slack walked Council through the proposed changes to the scoring system the city uses to determine undergrounding priority, applying it to these neighborhoods to demonstrate problems that would arise following current policy. In Cherry Hills Village North, an undergrounding section that had been estimated at 1,033 feet of accessible ROW is actually 2,215 feet of buried line work, more than doubling the size of this single undergrounding project. This is because the entire line would have to be buried, not just the portions crossing the streets. This would involve gaining easements crossing into private backyards, under fences, beneath trees, through hedges, requiring relocating utility boxes and adding switching cabinets with ten foot surrounding easements. “Just obtaining the easements for these jobs could become a full time job for a city employee,” Slack said. In some cases, the number of poles would double, defeating the purpose of burying them in the first place. To safely bury lines only beneath roads requires poles to take the lines down to the ground, under the road and back up again to high lines. “It just doesn’t make sense in undergrounding the lines under a street to remove two poles and have to replace them with four poles,” Sanderson said.
Letter to the Editor Recreational marijuana laws The task force commissioned to make recommendations to the legislator regarding recreational marijuana laws mandated by Amendment 64 has recently completed their charge. The task force’s No. 1 guiding principle was “developing rules and guidance for certain relationships such as employees” (that will be engaged in growing, selling, transporting and distributing marijuana.) The very last guiding principle was to “promote the health, safety and well-being of Colorado’s
youth,”falling just behind “proposing efficient and effective regulation that is clear reasonable.” Personally these are my top priorities. Sounds like the public needs to get involved. I attended a few public task force meetings, and my eyes were opened to the complexity of implementing Amendment 64. The cost and intricacy of setting up bureaucracies to oversee THC levels, allowable edibles, product safety, consumer education, safe growing practices, product advertising and marketing, marijuana tourism, home grows and other unforeseen consequences are astronomical
The proposed project scoring changes would add points for lines parallel to streets (increasing their priority) and applying a “zero” score where they cross streets. “Where lines are parallel to streets, it’s not a big deal,” said Councilman Jerry Presley. “I’d even support scoring a negative number for this. It’s not the crossing itself. It’s the poles and trees and shrubs and easements that will cost.” Landscaping repair costs required to bury an entire line could represent a substantial residential cost, including removing mature trees. Council discussed the fact that this could become a contentious neighborhood issue. Some may want to bury lines, while others may say, “You want it, you pay for it.” “In the end, I think people are going to be so glad the lines are buried,” said T.J. Gordon, whose District 4 includes some of the projects. “I had been in my house a few weeks when I became part of the brick sound walls project. A completed project is worth a few weeks of plastic fence in the backyard.” From a practical stand point, undergrounding projects can be funded within neighborhoods by the formation of Local Improvement Districts (LIDs). These spread the cost of undergrounding and landscaping repairs over several years, making it easier for residential neighborhoods to complete needed improvements outside of city projects. By discussion end, City Council agreed to support the staff recommendation regarding undergrounding policy. The policy changes will be formally raised at the next City Council meeting.
and daunting. The public really needs to keep a watchful eye to make sure the lawmakers serve the public interest and not just the interest of the marijuana industry and other “relationships.” I have been surprised to see very little news or editorial comment on the process. The issue of gun control has seemed to highjack the news cycle while task force meetings on recreational marijuana laws barely have been reported. I feel the news organizations have an obligation to inform the public on all issues, and with your help the public has the opportunity to see that their guiding principles are being served.

Romanoff stresses politics of problem solving Former House speaker challenging Coffman in 6th District
“In Colorado, balancing the budget is not just a good idea. It’s the law,” he said. “It’s not a political proposition. It’s just a mathematical problem.”
A
By Peter Jones s Congress wrangled for months in the face of the sweeping spending cuts known as sequestration, Andrew Romanoff says it has not been not difficult to find reasons to seek office in the 6th Congressional District. “I took a look at Congress and I figured we can do better,” he said. “The folks I know in the 6th District want the two parties to work together to solve the problems that affect us and that’s not happening in Washington. I don’t mean to set such a low bar when I say we can do better, but I think people in this district want a leader who can bridge the political divide.” During his four years as speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, Romanoff was known as a consensus builder respected by his colleagues on both sides of the House chamber. His leadership earned national recognition, including Governing magazine’s Public Official of the Year award. Romanoff’s announcement last month that he would seek to challenge three-term incumbent Rep. U.S. Mike Coffman has been greeted excitedly by his party. Other 6th District Democrats who had considered a run for the nomination – state Sen. Linda Newell and former state Rep. Karen Middleton – have backed Romanoff instead. Even so, the candidate, who waged a bitter primary challenge to U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet in 2010, says he is not banking on a free ride to the nomination. “We’ve gotten support from every Democratic legislator in the district, but it’s a long time between now and June when the primary election takes place and even longer between now and November 2014,” Romanoff said.

Ivy League pedigree
Andrew Romanoff increasingly targeted by both parties since recent redistricting transformed the once Republican-safe area into one of the most highly competitive political districts in Colorado. It now boasts a threeway split among Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters. Last November, Coffman defeated lesser-known state Rep. Joe Miklosi by about 2 percentage points, the best showing by a 6th District Democrat since 1982 when the district was created. Since then, Democrats and Republicans have said a higher-profile Democrat, such as Romanoff, may have won. Not surprisingly, Romanoff’s campaign is emphasizing such pocketbook issues as education, health care and perhaps most prominently, creation of jobs. “If you do that, a lot of other problems take care of themselves,” he said. The candidate, who recently moved from Denver to the 6th District’s Aurora, says he would push for further health care reform, especially in areas that arguably reward doctors that order more medical tests than necessary. “The Affordable Healthcare Act put in some measures that will begin to hold down the increases in health care costs, but Congress didn’t go far enough,” he said. When it comes to the muchdebated federal deficit, Romanoff points to his own experience as state House speaker.

Romanoff, 46, an attorney, has a long history in government and public service. Raised in Columbus, Ohio, he earned his bachelor’s degree at Yale University and a master’s in Public Policy at Harvard. He is currently a senior advisor for Colorado-based IDE, a nonprofit corporation that produces agricultural technology and training for smallscale farmers and businesses. While in his 20s, Romanoff worked for the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center as a researcher for the civil-rights organization’s Klanwatch Project. “It was one of the most powerful experiences I’ve ever had,” he said. “I think my mom was worried about that particular trip. One of the reasons is I’m Jewish and she thought I’d have the bull’s eye on me. What we were researching was pretty harrowing, but the personal experience was not.” Romanoff’s worldview was further developed when he taught English at rural high schools in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. “A student described a job he hoped to have – if he grew up – because he wasn’t certain he would live to adulthood. It really shook me up. What kind of world leaves a kid in doubt about whether he’ll grow up?” the candidate said. Finding his way to Colorado, Romanoff earned his law degree at the University of Denver. He worked for Democratic Gov. Roy Romer before being elected in 2000 to the statehouse, where he served four terms – two of them as House speaker. At 38, he was the second youngest speaker in Colorado history and the first Democrat to hold the gavel since 1975. “I spent a lot of time trying to find common ground,” Romanoff said. “Politics does not reward modesty, so I’ll tell you –

my leadership got recognized by colleagues on both sides of the aisle. I earned recognition as the most effective legislative leader in America because I was able to forge agreements between the two political parties. This is not a new experience for me.” In 2005, Romanoff authored the hotly debated Referendum C, a voter-approved ballot initiative that temporarily overrode some government-spending limitations contained in Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights.
Battle with Bennet
Romanoff briefly toyed with a run for the governor’s office before waging a bitter primary challenge against Sen. Bennet, who had been appointed by Gov. Bill Ritter to replace Ken Salazar after he was tapped as secretary of the interior. It became one of the most fiercely contested primary races of 2010 when President Obama endorsed Bennet and former President Clinton campaigned for Romanoff. The expensive race culminated in the “carrot” of a possible federal government job if Romanoff bowed out of the race, and the “stick” of the candidate having to sell his own house to fund his beleaguered campaign. “It was a very, very humbling experience,” Romanoff said. The Democrat, who does not accept money from political-action committees, is anticipating another expensive campaign if he is nominated to challenge Coffman. Romanoff declined to directly criticize the Republican, but instead emphasized his strategy for convincing voters he would be the best candidate for the job. “I like Mike. I respect him. We’re going to have 20 months to detail the differences between us,” Romanoff said. “I’m looking for a way to spend more time knocking on doors and meeting people and not just dialing for dollars. That kind of retail politics is the best way to run, the best way to win and the best way to serve and govern.”

Help Rotary eradicate polio Submitted by Littleton Rotary Club Unless you are older than 50 years of age this headline may be puzzling. But just 70 short years ago, polio was one of the most dread diseases in the United States, killing or crippling thousands of children every year in the 1950s. And then Drs. Salk and Sabin invented vaccines against
polio and by the 1970s polio was literally non-existent in the U.S. But not so in the rest of the world where as many as 387,000 polio cases were reported in 1985. And then Rotary, supported by its members in thousands of clubs around the world launched its campaign to immunize millions of children, mostly in
third world countries against this dreadful disease. The Littleton Rotary Club is proud to be one of the clubs that strongly supports this immunization effort. Rotarians have contributed more than $1 billion that have helped to fund efforts that have reduced the number of cases of polio to less than 1,000
in 2012. Today polio is endemic in only three countries – Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria – and Rotary is working with UNICEF, the CDC, WHO, and the governments of these countries to completely eliminate polio. When this effort succeeds, we will not have just reduced the instances of polio to zero but we will, for only the second time ever, have completely eradicated a dreadful disease (smallpox having been the first.) And, we will no longer
have to spend millions of dollars in the U.S. immunizing our children against polio But it will take money to succeed. On Feb. 23, Rotary celebrated its 108th birthday and now the Littleton Rotary Club invites its friends and neighbors to contribute to the effort to End Polio Now by donating $5 by texting polio to 90999 on their phone or by going to www.endpolio.com for more information and a way to help by donating to the cause.

School finance reform bill tackled by chamber forum
There are few individuals who would not agree that education is a critical factor in our country maintaining its position as a leader in the world economic scene. The correct path toward improvement of our education system is the quagmire where positions diverge and questions are raised. The Chamber’s Board of Directors, Legislative Action Committee and Business Leaders for Responsible Government hosted a forum March 4 with State Sen. Mike Johnston, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and a member of the Senate Education Committee. Johnston is crafting legislation that if passed will ask voters for a statewide $1 billion tax increase this November to restructure the state’s education funding and evaluation systems. Chamber President and CEO John Brackney began by stating that education is a primary factor in Colorado’s future economic growth. “An educated workforce is one of the most important factors for a vibrant and competitive economy. From preschool through higher ed, the success of our entire school system is one of our highest priorities and we encourage all business leaders to fully study and understand this issue,” Brackney said. According to Johnston, the last school finance reform bill in Colorado was passed in 1993 prior to widespread use of the Internet or

THEVILLAGER
By Peter Jones eter Mindock knows his way around the dizzying financial markets. For three decades, the Greenwood Village financial adviser has weathered the storms of inflation, recession and stock market crashes while striving to keep his hundreds of clients either rich or comfortably satisfied. Although Mindock, a Cherry Hills Village resident, admits that some of his 300-plus client households have angrily questioned his investment advice, most end up eager to recommend his services after his counter-intuitive predictions pay off. Last month, Mindock, an executive director for Morgan Stanley, made Barron’s list of America’s Top Financial Advisors for the third year in a row. The markets guru currently manages about $337 million in assets for what the financial newspaper calls “high net worth” and “ultra-high net worth” customers. Mindock was not always a highrolling moneyman. Before 1980, he admittedly made far less money as a sports reporter for The Denver Post and a journalism teacher in Aurora Public Schools. The Villager recently spoke with Mindock about his latest Barron’s
Peter Mindock listing. Villager: How is one selected for this honor? Mindock: It’s a fairly rigorous process. That’s why I was pleased to be on it again. They interview colleagues and management and people in New York. They interviewed me two or three times and interviewed my assistants. Villager: Do you typically get direct business as a result of being listed? Mindock: It’s not like the phone is ringing off the hook, but I’ve gotten several very nice households. By households, I mean your account, your wife’s account, your kids’ Roth IRAs. Villager: What makes a financial

advisor successful? Mindock: Success in this business is defined as the ability to attract high net-worth people to allow you to manage their money. I’m all about making money for my clients. That’s my whole professional MO. I take it really seriously. I have a really good philosophy of investing, which I use as a base in terms of identifying the primary trend of the markets, and I’ve been able to negotiate through these treacherous markets we’ve had. Villager: So you read the tealeaves and you’re right more times than you’re wrong? Mindock: Exactly. You have to have an underlying philosophy that works. I had a mentor that taught me about macroeconomics and it worked. It got me through those terribly volatile markets so my clients weren’t crushed when the S&P went down. In fact, we made money in those years. Villager: How did you do that? Mindock: For my whole career, I’ve had the bond bull market at my back. We think there’s going to be a sort of big burst in the bubble of the bond market. As recently as [two weeks ago], you had a pretty good rate in the bond market. But now interest rates on the short end are zero, and in other words, as rates go up, prices go down. You have no idea the risks that are in bonds right now. But interest rates are so low.

Rep. Mike Coffman presents a U.S. flag to 90-year-old veteran Marjorie Alexander, who joined the Marines in 1943 on her birthday, the first day women were allowed to enlist in the branch. At left is Paula Sarlls, past national president of the Women Marines Association. Photo courtesy of Rep. Mike Coffman’s Office a folk art piece dedicated to Tun Tavern, the birthplace of Marine Corps. It hangs in the National Museum of the Marine Corps’ Tun Tavern restaurant. Alexander’s Iraq and Afghanistan piece was used as the logo for the Colorado Yellow Ribbon Event in August 2012, a welcome-home event for the troops in Colorado. “Marge has been a loyal mem-
ber of the Women Marines Association for many years and a staunch supporter of the Colorado chapter,” said Paula Sarlls, past national president of the Women Marines Association. “Marge was instrumental in helping to form the Women of the Corps Collection, which saved the history of women Marines.” Coffman presented Alexander a flag that was flown in her honor.
From Our Politician
Sequestration and our debt crisis
By Rep. Mike Coffman When Adm. Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked in a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing what he thought was the greatest threat to the national security of the United States, he didn’t say that it was Iran, North Korea or even al Qaeda. The admiral, without hesitation, said that the greatest threat to our country is our debt. Since 2009, our deficits have been more than $1 trillion each year and our debt has climbed from $10.6 trillion to $16.6 trillion. In response to demands for action to curb our debt crisis, in July 2011 the Congress passed and President Obama signed the Budget Control Act (BCA), which required a cap on yearly spending and future deficit reduction. This reduction was supposed to come from the so-called “Super Committee,” but if they failed to pass a plan (and they did) the back-up plan was across-the-board cuts
of $1.2 trillion. These cuts are to be spread over a 10-year period, equally divided between defense and non-defense spending. The cuts equal only 2 percent of total federal spending but they have a disproportionate impact: they mostly fall on what is called “discretionary” spending and that represents only about a third of the budget. The other two-thirds of the federal budget is either interest payments on our debt or what is called “mandatory” spending and is primarily driven by entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security. These are mostly exempt from sequester – so while defense spending is about 19 percent of total spending it is taking half of the spending cuts. The major flaw in the Sequester is that it is across-the-board. All programs subject to it are cut equally, regardless of their value. This is particularly damaging in defense spending, where no strategic considerations can be used to program the cuts. We will cut items critical to our front line troops the same as we cut military bands, or administrative positions. I introduced legislation (HR 804) to cancel the across-theboard cuts to defense spending and instead replace them with smarter, more targeted cuts. I tried to focus on reducing headquarters and support functions, and to avoid limiting our strategic flexibility to counter emerging threats to our national security. But just like in defense spending, this need to be smarter in where we cut is true for non-defense spending as well. Instead of a sequester,
we need to prioritize spending in order to protect our military, our veterans, our seniors, and families from being negatively impacted. The Sequester was intended to be a place holder to give Congress the time to come up with an alternative plan before it would be automatically implemented in 2013. That is why I voted for it. And yet, nothing happened, and there has been no agreement. I believe that the only way to resolve the problem is through a grand bargain whereby Democrats yield on entitlement reform to slow the growth of spending and so protect the future of these programs, and Republicans put revenue on the table through closing credits and deductions for corporations and individuals. Until this happens we are hurting our seniors and threatening our nation’s financial solvency. Social Security and Medicare, and thus our federal budget, are not sustainable without reforms. We cannot solve our problem only through raising new revenues, and scare-mongering on entitlement reforms means that the real structural problems in federal spending are being ignored. I will continue to work in a bipartisan manner towards developing a fiscally responsible plan. Mike Coffman is the U.S. Representative for the 6th District and has a combined 21 years of military experience between the U.S. Army, the Army Reserve, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the Marine Corps Reserve.
Al Koppel died in Fort Collins on Jan. 27. He was born on Sept. 13, 1926, in Hamburg, Germany. Al was a former Greenwood Village City Councilman from November 1987 to November 1991, serving under Mayor Freda Poundstone from 19871989 and under Mayor Rollin Barnard from 1989 to 1991. He organized a sister-city program with Greenwood Village and a city in Israel. He worked on an exchange visit but it never materialized. He lived many years in Greenwood Village and moved to Fort Collins in 1993. Al was a child of the Holocaust. In June 1941 at age 14, he and his brother, Walter, 13, escaped Nazi Germany. They were two of the last Jews who were able to do so. They traveled to Brooklyn, N.Y., to reunite with their father who, after having been in a concentration camp, had been driven out of Germany the year before. The day after his arrival, Al was hospitalized. He was diagnosed with tuberculosis and sent alone to the National Jewish Hospital in Denver. He would spend the next three years there. He was cured of his illness, learned English, completed high school, and won a scholarship to the University of Colorado Boulder. In that same year, his mother, two
brothers and two sisters were murdered by the Nazis. He did not talk about this for more than 50 years. Al met Jean Herbert while in college. They married and had five children, Karla, Morgan, Katie, Craig and Mitchell. Jean died on May 7, 1997. He is survived by his children Karla, Craig and Mitchell, seven grandchildren, one step grandchild, and two great grandchildren. Al spent his professional career with Samsonite Corporation traveling the world. He set out to discover what exactly had happened to his mother and siblings. His journey took him on successive trips to Germany and, finally, to Lithuania. He stood there, at a desolate place called the Ninth Fort, looking in the ravine where his murdered family, grasping each other, had fallen. Al published his book, My Heroic Mother: Voices From the Holocaust in 2010. He brought honor to them through his writings. A memorial service was held at Congregation Har Shalom in Fort Collins on March 3. Donations may be made to National Jewish Hospital, Denver, CO, or the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Washington, D.C., in Al’s memory.

2 EGG-CITING
Submitted by Rep. Mike Coffman’s Office U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman had a special guest visit his office in Washington, D.C., last week. On Feb. 13, Marjorie Alexander of Littleton had celebrated her 90th birthday and the 70th anniversary of her enlistment in the Marine Corps. The first day women could join the Marines was also Alexander’s birthday in 1943.

Anna Lee is wearing a tiara that belonged to her great grandmother, Alma Strettell Harrison, who was in the same line of descent from Anne of York, Richard III’s sister.
K
ing Richard III of England, w h o s e skeleton was recently found and identified 527 years after his death in 1485, was the last king in the line of descent of the Plantagenet dynasty. Richard did not refer to himself as a Plantagenet. It was not a surname, but the name of a dynasty that had started in 1154. Surnames were only just coming into use in the 1400s. Richard was the last of the medieval kings. The Renaissance came to England about 1500 during the reign (1485-1509) of Henry VII who defeated Richard’s troops at the Battle of Bosworth where Richard was killed. From the time of William the Conqueror’s victory over England (1066), all the kings of England were descended from William I, but there was not a straight line of descent. It went from father to son, brother to brother, grandfather to grandson and nephew to uncle. The crown passed by natural death and often when a usurper, wanting the throne, helped themselves to it. The first Plantagenet king was Henry II, who was King of England from 1154-1189. His father Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, married Empress Matilda, granddaughter of William I and widow of the Holy Roman Emperor.
Count Geoffrey, a tall and handsome man, became known as Geoffrey Plantagenet, because he wore a sprig of broom plant, Planta Genista in Latin, in his hat. Thus the Plantagenet dynasty was born. Henry II’s son – Richard I was the next king (11891199). He became known as Richard the Lionheart. This name described his skillfulness in war and his valor. It also described his great “Plantagenet rages.” People felt both fear and admiration for him. He was King of England but spent little time there as he was mostly involved with his European provinces. He was involved in the third Crusade, and died of a arrow wound in a minor skirmish. He was buried at the Plantagenet Abbey of Fontevrault in France. Nearly two hundred years passed before there was another Richard ruling England. Richard was only 10 years old when he became king. He ruled from 1377-1399 and led troops into battle when he was only 14. He developed an appreciation of the arts, which led to the beautiful portrait in the Wilton Diptych, c. 1395-1399, which remarkably still exists in good condition at the National Gallery in London. It folds in two, one side shown here, and in it Richard is backed by his three patron saints: John the Baptist, Edward the Confessor and Edmond the Martyr. He is wearing a neckpiece made of the Plantagenet symbol, broomcods. Richard II’s reign was
one of much internal (within his court) and external conflict. His beloved wife Anne of Bohemia calmed him, and her death left him emotionally unbalanced. He was captured in 1399 and forced to abdicate in exchange for his life. He was murdered in Pontefract Castle in 1400. Eighty-four years later, Richard III became king. When his brother King Edward IV died, Richard was supposed to be the protector of his two young nephews. The eldest nephew, Edward V, reigned for only two months until he and his brother, another Richard, disappeared from the Tower of London. The assumption has long been that Richard III had his nephews murdered in order to become king. This has never been proven. It could just have well been done by Henry, the 14th Earl of Richmond, who was from both the House of Lancaster and the House of Tudor and who had his eye on the crown of England. After Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth, Henry VII became the first Tudor king. He married Elizabeth of York, a niece of Richard III, thus effectively ending the lengthy War of the Roses that had divided the House of Plantagenet into the Lancastrian and Yorkist factions. A century passed during which the Tudors had plenty of time to further vilify Richard III. When Shakespeare came along, Richard made his perfect villain, and he wrote an entire play about him, Richard III. The Bard was able to use poetic license. He exaggerated Richard’s physical infirmity
The Wilton Diptych
Close up from the Wilton Diptych showing King Richard II wearing a necklace of broom-cods. making it a severely humped back instead of one shoulder lower than the other due to scoliosis of the spine. He also used Richard’s reputation to create a truly evil character. Back to the beginning of this story when Geoffrey stuck that piece of Planta Genista in his hat thus leading to the name of the Plantagenet Dynasty - it began with a plant, the broom plant from the family Fabaceae. There are several genus names in the family including Genista and Erinacea. Erinacea anthyllis is hedgehog broom. The animal, hedgehog, belongs to the subfamily Erina-
ceinae. Shakespeare referred to hedgehogs as rather nasty little beings. In his play Richard III Act 1, Scene 2, Lady Anne’s line, “Dost grant me, hedgehog?” could refer to his prickly nature, or is she also alluding to the name “Plantagenet,” as it ties in to hedgehogs through plant nomenclature? A parting thought beginning with that sprig of broom plant in Geoffrey’s hat, think forward to Yankee Doodle! “He stuck a feather in his hat, and called it Macaroni.” “Macaroni” means in vogue or in fashion. It seems that that fashion changed little over 600 years.
Plantagenet Broom-COD (IN GOLD) Planta Genista = ‘Broom plant’ in Latin 7 is the broom-cod (seed pod of the broom flower)

DCPA Saturday Night Alive is an energetic smash hit By Glory Weisberg he Denver Center Theatre Saturday Night Alive raised a net $640,000 to bring live theatre Arts in Education programs to 50,000 Denver area children, and guests had a ball doing it. The gowns were gorgeous, the men stunning in their tuxedoes and the silent auction a lot of fun. Susan Kiely chaired the auction, overseeing a selection of elegant trips to London and Paris and other places, paintings, sculpture and, of course, jewelry that brought tight bidding, friends sometimes bidding against friend, a humorous competition. Jamie Angelich chaired SNA and teamed up with florist B.J. Dyer to turn the Seawell Ballroom into a wonderland. They decorated each seat back with white shirts and black bow ties and centerpieces raised the bar for color and elegance. Hyde Park Jewelers provided surprise boxes, offered in denominations of $100, $200 and $300. Buying a $300 box, 2012 SNA co-chairs Ryta and Steven Sondergard showed off an elegant garnet necklace they’d just won, spurring onlookers to dash to buy tickets that sold out fast. The legendary Four Tops and the Temptations hit the lights of the Stage Theatre and at the first downbeat they truly made Saturday Night come alive. The MDC/Richmond Homes Foundation sponsored the after party and there to witness the fun were David Mandarich, president and CEO, and his wife Bonnie.

‘Measuring what Matters’ from Open World Learning OWL holds itself accountable
By Scottie Taylor Iverson ov. John Hickenlooper opened the Governor’s Mansion for a very special reveal from Open World Learning. OWL supports children’s school success by tapping the power of digital technology and peer teaching to develop leadership and ignite a love of learning. Enthusiastic board members and supporters received copies of the Annual Impact Report and the proven success of OWL – “Measuring what Matters.” On hand was OWL Outcome Evaluation
G
Manager Tara Stroup. Walker Stapleton said, “I am state treasurer by day and an evangelist for OWL by night.” He and his wife Jenna, who is an OWL board member and social worker, are Site Sponsors for Kepner Middle School. “Gov. Hickenlooper is also passionate about education and when he picks an organization, it is significant,” Stapleton said. IHS CEO Jerre Stead joked that he had breakfast that day in Washington, D.C., lunch in Chicago and still managed to arrive two minutes before the governor. “STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is our biggest gap,” said Gov. Hicken-

Food is the star at Hollywood Theaters By Peter Jones Linda enjoys her seasonal orecchiette pasta … to say the least. “Mmm, oh my gosh. It’s so good,” she says as she works her way through her pasta bowl. “That cream sauce, oh my goodness!” It may not be unusual to enjoy pasta served with winter squash, brussels sprouts and locally made sausage finished with fresh herbs and parmesan – though it is rare to enjoy them in a movie theater. “This is a dish that highlights the vegetables that are available in the colder months,” explained Taylor Carlberg, executive chef at Hollywood Theaters, a 14-screen cineplex at The Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial. For moviegoers more accustomed to candy bars and rotating hotdogs, Hollywood’s A-list menu may come as a happy ending too good to be true. This was likely the first theater in metro Denver to be designed with a full-service restaurant in mind. While the region has seen

from a lobster-nachos appetizer to a slow-roasted pork Cuban sandwich and shell pasta served in a handmade cheese sauce. Beats soft pretzels and cheese nachos, don’t you think? On a recent afternoon, Carlberg, the kitchen’s director, showcased a few of his choice attractions. The opening “preview” was his seasonal house salad, served with young lettuces, cranberry vinaigrette, marcona almonds, locally produced goat cheese and dried stone fruit. “In the summer, we’ll do something like this with peaches. It’s a super-simple salad, but really focused on ingredients,” the chef said. Up next was the aforementioned orecchiette pasta, a favorite for its light, but tasty sauce and select ingredients, including locally produced Italian sausage. The subsequent vegetarian harvest pizza featured a roasted shallot cream base with butternut squash and brussels-sprout leaves. The evening’s feature attraction was a special not available every day – a classic Swiss fondue made of Appenzeller and Gruyere cheeses served with pretzel bread, apples and locally produced pork sausage. “I did the fondue for Valentine’s Day because it’s perfect for couples,” Carlberg said. “Around Mardi Gras time, we’ll do a Cajun dish. In the summer, we’ll do a little more grilled meats.” Of course, something from the bar helps it all go down – and sometimes the movies will inspire the bar menu as much as the seasons move the food items around. For the new comedy Identity Thief, the bar manager has concocted several libations inspired by that movie’s Florida setting and money-bilking premise. They include “Going to Miami,” which features citrus and coconut rums, Midori and pineapple juice, and “Deceptive Diana” a mix of tequila, triple sec and grapefruit and orange juices. “The last movie was Les Miserables, so we did some really fancy Old World cocktails,” Carlberg said. It is not only the food and spirits that have remade the movie ex-

Craig PUSH benefit draws 1,300 people to honor Steven McDonald By Glory Weisberg New York City police detective Steven McDonald has met the Pope and the teenager who shot McDonald three times in Central Park, a shot that left him paralyzed for life. A young, handsome man, who was shot when he was about to become a father for the first time in 1987, McDonald was honored at the Craig Hospital PUSH dinner, accepting the Christopher and Dana Reeve Inspiration Award. Speaking through a ventilator, he told his story on stage, and along with a video, it was riveting. As he mounted the stage to speak the 1,300 people in the massive Hyatt Convention Center main ballroom stood up in respect, clapping. Still in his police uniform, he cut a smart image, an icon for others at the hospital that is considered the best for treating spinal cord injuries in the U.S. Just a few short years ago, the Craig Hospital Foundation dinner attracted a few hundred fans, so seeing the incredible turnout last week was almost mind-boggling! Peter and Sandy Burg and Lonna and Bill Lindsay chaired the 12th annual dinner that included a silent and live auction and the now popular paddle raiser. Knowing that spinal cord injury treatment isn’t cheap, it is still surprising to find that the minimum cost per month of 24-hour RN care for patients with ventilators and tracheotomies costs $50,000. The paddle raiser supports the Patient Assistance Program and last year they paid for treatment for 79 patients. In total, the PUSH dinner has, in 12 years, raised more than $8.4 million and there was a hint of a new, expanded campus at their existing Englewood location, now in planning stages. Among PUSH committee members were Craig Dr. Alan Weintraub, and Craig Hospital representatives Mary Bonner,

Junior League’s ‘The Journey’ a hit at remodeled DTC Hyatt By Glory Weisberg When Junior League of Denver members Alyssa Hartman and Ali Crist signed on to chair the League’s first evening benefit event, The Journey, they likely didn’t imagine the ultimate turnout at the Hyatt Denver Tech Center. Neither did they know whether for another first for the chapter, that their significant others, men would show up. But show up they did, in force and were glad they had when featured speaker Leigh Anne Tuohy took the stage in front of about 700 people. Known for being the subject of
the movie, The Blind Side, many wondered why Sandra Bullock played the Academy Award winning part when Tuohy herself could have done it. She played to the Junior League audience, repeatedly mentioning the connection between the movie’s theme and the League, which has the programs Read2Kids and Kids Connect to help the 30 percent of inner city children who are struggling to be able to read by third grade. The Junior League’s ambition is fired by matching statistics that show those same 30 percent of children not reading by third grade don’t finish high school
and they are leading the charge to change that. Tuohy had taken in a black teenager, Michael Ohr, who attended Tuohy’s school, on track to drop out and fall through the cracks. With one single act of kindness, outfitting him with cold weather clothes, Moore became part of the family, going on to become an amazing right tackle for
the Baltimore Ravens. “Families don’t have to match,” Tuohy told her rapt audience. “Get out of your comfort zone, teach someone to read.” Sharing the spotlight at the dinner were Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia, Mile High United Way President and CEO Christine Benero and Denver Junior League President Cissie Megyesy. This was a night for Cissie to remember for more than one reason as she got engaged to Charlie Busch that evening as her mom, Judy Megyesy noted excitedly. Judy had flown in from Hungary where
she and husband Gene now live most of the year. Twenty past DJL presidents were at The Journey, including Mary Cronin, Marty Segelke, Jean Jones, Bonnie Downing, Merrilyn Leuthold, Arlene Hirschfeld, Mary Babson, Sharon Hartman, Katherine Fulford, Nancy Schotters, Diane Newcom, Debby Platt, Molly Ross, Merrie Kippur, Janie Fletcher, Laura Hopkins, Dana Rinderknecht, Molly Weiss and Kristin Brownson. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

By Peter Jones “My dad told me a long time ago, it’s better to be a has-been than a never-was-a,” said Dave Wakeling, original guitarist and singer for the English Beat. Better that than the alternative, Wakeling figures, since “new wave” has found new life in the 21st century, even if it has become “old wave” in the process. “I’m still in awe of the fact that 25 years later, I can sing the songs and most of the people in the crowd know all the words,” said Wakeling, who turned 57 last month. The band plays the Gothic Theater on March 15. Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1979, the multiracial English Beat were movers in the British ska revival of the late ‘70s and

early ‘80s. “It turned out, if you mix-up punk and reggae, you got something that sounds quite similar to ska,” Wakeling said. A little bit of Motown didn’t hurt, either. The band’s first hit in 1979 was an up-tempo cover of Smokey Robinson’s Tears of a Clown. “Of all the songs we do, regardless of whether we’re playing to punks or Rastas or students or old-age pensioners, Tears of a Clown always goes down,” Wakeling said. Original, often oddball hits – many written by Wakeling – followed, including Mirror in the Bathroom, I Confess and Save it for Later. As Wakeling single-handedly cranked-out the hits, he noticed that some of his band mates were finding excuses to save all the work for later – much later, if at all.

“I had absolutely insisted that we all get paid the same money, including publishing on the songs, regardless of what anyone had done in terms of writing,” Wakeling said. “Freeloading socialism did start to creep in because some people soon realized it really didn’t matter what you did this week because the money was
going to be the same on Friday anyway.” In 1983, the English Beat crumbled in a capitalist revolution that saw one half of the band resurface as Fine Young Cannibals. The other half, including Wakeling, formed General Public. Wakeling eventually resuscitated the English Beat with new

Warriors upset Rebels to move on to Sweet 16
By Tom Barry A few minutes into the game March 2, one of the concession workers at the main entrance questioned if there were any Columbine fans at their home playoff game. From about 100 yards away, you could clearly hear the voices of only Arapahoe High School fans from a far. The well-illuminated gym was loaded with more than 500 Arapahoe cheering fans, nearly half of them students. The Warriors retained a comfortable lead throughout the game beating the higher ranked Rebels 61 to 47. They went into the locker room at the half with a 10-point lead. “We limited their leading scorers in points,” said Arapahoe Head Coach Dan Snyder, a semi-retired top business executive with a solid winning record at the school. “We are a No. 6 seed, a big underdog and beat a No. 3 seed. We feel great.” Arapahoe will play the Fossil Ridge team in Fort Collins on March 6, which was after The Villager went to press.

By Tom Barry he Cherry Creek High School girls’ basketball team came out with a lot of intensity and shut out Boulder High School in the first quarter, March 1. In the second quarter, Boulder started sinking shots and the comfortable lead shrunk approaching halftime. In the end Creek had a comfortable 51 to 40 win. Boulder’s Lena Jaycox averages 18 points per game. On that night, the Bruins’ defense held the high scorer to only seven points in the playoff game. “I thought we played well, especially defensively and we rebounded well and our goal for the season is to hold everybody under 40 points,” said Chris Curneen, Creek’s head coach. “Every game we’ve won, we’ve held our opponent at 40 or points or below. I feel that we have a good a chance of beating anybody.” The Bruins are slotted to play Horizon on March 5 at 7 p.m. at Cherry Creek High School (which was after The Villager went to press). “That will be a really good game as Creek is the eighth seed and Horizon the ninth,” Curneen said.
Creek boys topple Aurora in playoffs
More than 200 Warriors cheered on their boys’ basketball team in a victory over Columbine March 2 in an away game. Arapahoe advanced to the next round of the playoffs.
On March 2, while most Cherry Creek High School students were at the winter Snowball dance, their boys’ basketball team was traversing
the hardwood miles away in Aurora. Aurora Central has one of the state’s best players in Carlton Hurst. Creek held him to 17 points in the first half, as he was guarded well by the Bruins defense. “We just played a good team defense and made them work for every point they got, challenging every possession,” said Mike Brookhart the long time Bruins head coach and dean of students. “I’m pleased that we played at our pace and tempo and did what we had to do to win.” On March 6, the Bruins were scheduled to travel across the district to play Cherokee Trail, the No. 2 seed who won the Centennial League. Creek has played this team twice before during the regular season, losing both times. Creek now feels that they have momentum during the playoffs.
Other scores
Heritage beat the Fountain – Fort Carson team by a score of 75 – 66. The Eagles ended up with five players scoring in double figures. Kent Denver beat Holy Family 45 to 41 at Manuel High’s gym in Denver on March 2. By winning this 3A game, the school earned the Metropolitan League District championship. Kent Denver finished the season with a record of 21 wins and one loss.
Arapahoe girls advance in playoffs by trouncing Brighton By Tom Barry In one of the fastest games this season, the Arapahoe High School lady Warriors walked over the Bulldogs from Brighton with a score of 68 to 23, March 2. “We had not played for a week and were rusty and not too energetic,” said Jerry Knafelc, Arapahoe High’s head girls’ varsity coach. “Things are going to get better and better each time we play. We did a lot of really good things but there are a lot of things we need to do to clearly reach our team’s goals. I’m blessed to have
the players I have.” The Bulldog fans traveled from Brighton bringing more than 150 fans to the south metro area. The Warriors fans also cheered their team on till the end. “I thought we played well, it was pretty obvious this was our first playoff game,” said Molly Riedel, a senior. “We are ready to improve. I am confident about going far in the playoffs.” The Arapahoe girls will play on Tuesday night against Fruita Monument at Arapahoe High School (which was after The Villager went to press).

Marin develops funding alternative for legal expenses
By Tom Barry The typically warm hospitality of The Meridian’s concierge staff at The Landmark condominium tower suddenly changed after two stories about the development appeared on The Villager website on Feb. 24. The previously cordial atmosphere became one of uneasiness and heightened security in the exclusive private residences in Greenwood Village. The Landmark development’s two residential towers and shopping district have become major focal points since the suicide of Zack Davidson 13 days after criminal charges were filed against him. The developer had been indicted by a grand jury on 20 counts of fraud and embezzlement. The indictment was handed down two days after Christmas. Davidson with the help of legal counsel had created a special metropolitan district to cover infrastructure costs at a proposed European Village-style development. The complex just south of the Landmark complex was never constructed. Instead, Davidson was charged with confiscating $3.1 million from the district’s taxpayers— residents of the Landmark and Meridian towers – and Colorado Bond Shares, which issued the bonds, along with UMB, a financial-services company. On Feb. 27, the Marin Special District held its fourth special meeting in two months. The board went into immediate executive session behind a sizable wood brown door while John Simmons, the board’s certified public accountant, waited in the lobby reading The Villager’s account of recent related events. He later joined the meeting. About two hours later, the door opened and board members along with Simmons and the board’s legal counsel emerged from the closed session.
Board pursuing $3.1 million
The board approved the engagement letter with Anthony Lefferts, an attorney with the Denver law firm of Robinson, Waters and O’Dorisi, which reportedly briefed the board on matters related to the firm’s efforts to take legal action against individuals and companies that

may have defrauded the district. The law firm is working on a contingency basis to recover the misappropriated money. MaryAnn McGeady, the board’s recently hired legal counsel, announced that Skip Weller, the board’s secretary, had resigned from his position. The resignation would leave two vacancies and only three board members to read reports, untangle the past actions of predecessors and decipher a slew of issues related to previous high-priced legal and financial consultants.
Legal expenses alternative adopted
Around 20 taxpayers/homeowners were in attendance as McGeady explained how the board had devised an alternate funding plan to provide $50,000 for legal expenses to cover the costs of expert witnesses and depositions. McGeady did not offer any details about the legal strategies or what was discussed in executive session, citing attorney-client privilege. Previously, the board had said taxpayers might have to “pass the hat” and loan funds for the legal costs. A motion was made and ad-
opted related to the funding, noting that the funds would have to be replenished from the extra mill levy. Taxpayers learned that if the litigation efforts to recover the funds and reimburse costs were unsuccessful by Dec. 1, 2016, an additional three mills would be added to the yearly tax base for collection in 2017. Currently, Landmark condo owners pay approximately $4,000 to $6,000 annually into the Marin District based upon 61 mills, according to McGeady. This mill levy increase will add approximately $24 to the yearly expense. “We will borrow money from the debt-reserve fund,” Board President Leslie MacGuire said. Rich Silver, a former Marin board member and Landmark resident, inquired about the idea of legal funds coming out of the residents’ pockets and questioned the cost benefits of litigation. Several residents spoke up in support of the funding alternative, saying they felt the board was taking appropriate action and had devised a fair approach to cover legal expenses since the attorney’s work was being done on a contingency basis. Colorado Bond Shares and UMB had been previously asked to assist with financial support on the legal issue, but declined, according to McGeady.

Contentious undocumented legal bill
In another point of significant contention, several homeowners expressed concern about the legal fees of $250,000 paid to Washington Park lawyer John McNamara. The board said it had only received the total amounts in invoices from McNamara, but never any detailed accounting of services rendered. Colorado Bond Shares and UMB, which serve at the trustee and as an administrator, have received a detailed accounting and have paid the invoices. McGeady said McNamara has been successful in his legal defense of the district. McNamara has filed a court motion to have The Landmark Homeowners Association reimburse him and the Marin District for legal fees.
