DA hails Supreme Court’s DUI decisions Driving is ‘expressed consent’ for DUI test

(855) 503-9058

District Attorney George Brauchler has called last week’s Colorado Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the state’s DUI laws a major victory for law enforcement. “Had our state Supreme Court gone the other way, DUI laws across the country could have been in danger,” Brauchler said. “Instead, we have some really good laws that will enable law enforcement in Colorado and across the country to continue to aggressively fight against the scourge of drunk driving.”

the defendant an “expressed-consent advisement,” which informs them that they have already consented to a blood or breath test and that refusal may lead to a suspension of their driver’s license. Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Gilbert argued that if a district court’s original decision had been allowed to stand it could have invalidated every breath or blood test conducted in the state. “That is why we pursued this appeal so vigorously, and that is why we are so happy that the Supreme Court agreed with us,” Gilbert said. In another case, the Supreme Court held that even an unconscious driver can be tested for alcohol as a function of expressed consent.

Don’t leave safety to chance. Our trained associates are close by to help Mom with her daily living activities, from bathing and dressing to medication management.

Rulings in three cases announced April 17 involved different aspects of Colorado’s expressed-consent law, which says that by driving in Colorado, drivers have expressly consented to a blood or breath test to determine their blood-alcohol content, if the police have probable cause to believe the driver has committed an alcohol-related offense. In one case, the high court ruled that if a driver refuses to give such a blood or breath sample, the refusal can be used as evidence in court. In other words, refusal is not a “statement,” as governed by the Fifth Amendment’s prohibition of compelled self-incrimination. When police in Colorado have probable cause for an alcohol-related driving offense, officers are to read

Yes on Question 1 Lighten the Load on Orchard Road

One of the most experienced traffic analysts in Colorado says the Orchard Road interchange is expected to have 20% more traffic by 2022 than the interchange was built to handle. But with an update to the Comp Plan, the Village has an opportunity to reverse this by 2022 and provide 15-20% more capacity than would be used at rushhour at the interchange. Perhaps the most compelling reason for updating the Comp Plan is because it is the one planning tool that enables a 35-40% reversal of traffic congestion at the Orchard Road interchange.

A newspaper comeback is underway

Former Bronco and former columnist Reggie Rivers wrote a piece in The Denver Post this week on how he doesn’t like to write about politics in the paper anymore because he loses friends when he writes anything political. It’s true that taking a stand can make friends and enemies, but that is the essence of power, politics and money. That is what journalists, columnists and editorial writers do. We are the messengers and carry the news to the people. Today, there are many varieties of news and writers. So much fake news and personal bias on blogs. I marvel at the Sunday morning Meet the Press and the bias in the program against the Trump administration. Our president has many news organizations that don’t want to give him credit for the many accomplishments he has made in his opening 100 days. We should be proud to have a Colorado judge on the Supreme Court. That is one of Trump’s major accomplishments, in my opinion. I don’t mind the bias so much. We all have our opinions and express them in this newspaper, as such, in our personal columns. I think it is up to the writers to let readers know their positions so they know how the columnist thinks and what biases exist. What I don’t like is when a program is supposed to be well rounded and fair, but it is instead loaded one way or another. But frankly, that

PERSPECTIVA

OBSCURA

A postscript from the CPA convention

What happens at the Colorado Press Association convention stays at the CPA convention. Generally, that is the rule, but in this case—not! It is true that the editorial team showed new talent to the publishers of The Villager, as noted in Bob Sweeney’s column this week, but it was Bob and Gerri Sweeney that brought the house down with Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again.” The editorial office had no clue Bob and Gerri were so talented!

is the way television, radio and even some of our daily newspapers have gone. Fox certainly leans to the conservative side, and NBC, MSNBC and CBS lean to the other side. A viewer can read, listen or view what best suits his political interests. Sides do exist. At The Villager, Mort Marks and I are conservative and supportive of the president. We have a bevy of other writers who have their own opinions and express them freely. I think this makes for a great blend of political thought and fairness. It is good to get out of our comfort zones and enter what other people think about local, state, national and international events. You don’t know everything until you walk in someone else’s shoes. Civic journalism began decades ago where the profession allowed reporters and news staffs to participate in government, experiencing the real thing, rather than just writing from the bench. It was breaking the glass house of never participating in anything. I subscribed to civic journalism many years ago and became a participant, serving on a city council and as a mayor of my hometown in Craig. It was a great lifelong experience and has given me insight to see both sides of an issue and make better reporting judgements. We just attended the annual Colorado Press Association convention, which was held for decades at the Brown Palace, but has since moved to the Lakewood Sheraton, where rooms and food cost less. This was one of the best newspaper conventions ever, after past declining years of lower attendance and fear of the future. The young journalists are back in large numbers. The attendance was record-breaking, the speakers were optimistic, there were sponsors galore, and it was a new day for Colorado newspaper owners and staffs. There is not a single newspaper for sale in Colorado. There may be one upcoming with the death of Robert Rawlings, owner of The Pueblo Chieftain. In his will, Rawlings asked for the paper to be sold and for the funds to be put into the family foundation operated by his daughter Jane. The Villager picked up some awards, our own Peter Jones winning a first place for his humor column. Scottie Iverson winning an award for her outstanding Flair pages. The news staff also won the convention’s after-hours lip-sync contest against stiff competition from other more youthful newspaper groups. But when Peter, wearing his wig, leaped from the stage singing the Supremes’ “Stop, in the Name of Love,” our group captured the large crowd’s favor. Villager Managing Editor Becky Osterwald and awardwinning photographer Stefan Krusze were backups on stage with Peter. Gerri and I cheered wildly for our staff. We didn’t know they had this much talent outside of their journalistic skills. We came away from the two days and nights pleased with our industry and the future and importance of community newspapers. We do fill a need for local news. It’s hard to hang an iPhone on the refrigerator with those society awards. There are thousands of internet apps out there. Local newspapers now have a monopoly if we take care of business and provide decent service to our readers. It appears to me, and I’m biased, that good newspapers are needed now more than ever. —Bsween1@aol.com

Becky Osterwald, you’re wrong on Mitch McConnell

Becky, Becky, Becky, Villager managing editor, I disagree with your April 20 column. Becky, they tell me that you should never criticize the editor of the paper that carries your article, but I do have criticisms of two positions you took in your column last week. You wrote that “the Constitution should come before ideology or party.” Now, I do not disagree with that statement. But I do disagree with your position that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s refusal to allow a hearing on Merrick Garland’s appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court by President Obama was a violation of our Constitution, even though Obama made the nomination just a short time before his term was finished. I also disagree with your position in regard to the Senate majority leader’s right to refuse Sen. Elizabeth Warren the opportunity to read a certain letter on the Senate floor. First, let’s look at the case of the president’s Supreme Court appointment. There was never a question being raised as to our Constitution’s Article II, Section 2 instruction for the president to nominate candidates to the Supreme Court and for the Senate to advise and consent to such appointments. I do agree, however, with the big political question raised by Sen. McConnell and his Republican colleagues. They asked, “Is it fair for President Obama to nominate a new Supreme Court justice during the final year of his presidency?” I agreed with the Republicans that since this was Obama’s final year he should allow his successor to pick the next Supreme Court justice. There were a couple of other lame-duck presidents who have had their nominations denied and they were not considered to be violations of our Constitution. In 1828, President John Quincy Adams tried to nominate a new justice in his last year and it failed. In 1852, President Fillmore was not able to fill a Supreme Court seat in his last year. And a month before he left office, President Buchanan’s nominee was also denied appointment. However, you may point out that in February 1932 President Hoover,

who was in his last term, appointed Benjamin Cardozo to the Supreme Court, and that although the Republicans that year controlled the Senate by only one vote, the Democrats still did not oppose the nomination and Cardoza received a unanimous vote from both parties. The only reason for this unanimous vote was that Hoover at that time was running for re-election and hoped to secure many Democrat votes by appointing moderate Benjamin Cardozo, who was widely reBY MORT spected by all voters and was very suitable for that position to MARKS Democrats. Sen. McConnell was not violating the Constitution because he was not permanently refusing the Senate their right to vote on the nominee. He clearly stated his position that “the American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice, therefore this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president”. In regard to Sen. McConnell’s right to stop Sen. Warren from reading a letter on the Senate floor that criticized fellow Sen. Jeff Sessions, who was being nominated for attorney general, you stated that it violated her “First Amendment right to freedom of speech.” The fact is that Majority Leader McConnell stopped Warren in the middle of her floor speech voicing opposition on procedural grounds, saying that she had impugned Sen. Sessions during her speech. As a senator, Warren had to be familiar with Rule 19 of her own Senate, which covers procedural rules on debate etiquette on the Senate floor. Section 2 of that Rule clearly states that, “No senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly by any form of words, impute to another senator or to other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a senator.” The senator’s First Amendment right was not violated. She was violating her own Senate rules, and when she called for all the senators to vote on her right to continue reading the letter criticizing her fellow senator, she lost the vote! Anyway, Becky, even though I criticize your positions, you are an excellent editor!

My baloney lunch with Greg Reinke

LEFT UNEDITED

Greg Reinke and baloney go together—but what about bologna? That’s right, the Associated Press Stylebook makes a distinction in spelling between the bologna you eat on a sandwich—first slapped between bread in Bologna, Italy—and the baloney you endure with Reinke. It is only when you enjoy them both simultaneously that it all gets a little confusing. It all began a few Fridays ago when I took Reinke, co-owner of Littleton’s Reinke Bros. costume superstore and president of Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants, to a couple of my favorite newer haunts along South Broadway in Englewood. With all the recent hubbub about millennials flocking to walkable Englewood, I wanted to show Reinke that Littleton’s Main Street is not the only neighborhood on the planet. After a stop at the mixed-drink haven of Englewood Grand, we walked a block to the ‘hood’s latest addition, the Whiskey Biscuit, three doors south

of the Gothic Theater—with all the standing-room business and bushy hipster beards to show for it. The drinks fit the bill just fine, but when Reinke got a gander at the menu and the $10 fried bologna sandwich, you might have thought he found a biscuit in his whiskey. Ten bucks for a frigBY PETER JONES gin’ bologna sandwich? Reinke called over the owner, who confirmed the item’s price and popularity. “People love our bologna sandwich,” the owner said. By then, we had both already eaten, but a date was set to answer the seldom-asked query: Is a $10 bologna sandwich good bologna or just baloney? With Reinke, eating is a family affair, so I joined him, along with a few of the other eatin’ Reinkes—Greg’s business partner and younger brother Chris, his father Don, and Don Jr., the oldest Reinke brother, celebrating his post-dialysis a la fried bologna. As it happened, Don Sr. had

worked at one of the many businesses that predate the Whiskey Biscuit at the corner of Broadway and Floyd Avenue. Don was fired from what was then Miller’s Supermarket in the mid-1940s for having the audacity to accept a customer’s 25-cent tip. “That was a lot of money in those days,” Don said with a smile. The elder Reinke would land on his feet as an usher down the block at the Gothic, which was then a movie house, and as a prehistoric human pin setter next door at the still-surviving bowling alley in the present-day Moe’s Original Bar B Que. “I used to throw ‘em back at the people who tried to hit me,” he said. But back to that bologna sandwich. The consensus at the table seemed to be positive, with particular raves for the thick cut that your mother never served. No mayonnaise or mustard here—This ‘wich boasts roasted garlic aioli and whiskey barbecue sauce, along with lettuce, tomato and pickled sweet onion. The sides, including french-toast-battered onion rings, were eclectic. The only gripe was the size of the

Is e-commerce good for Colorado? Colorado’s retail economy is undergoing a monumental shift in the method by which people purchase consumer products. In the early 1960s, with improvements to highway access, the American suburbs grew at an explosive rate. With that unprecedented growth, the concept of a new strategy in mass marketing emerged to meet the growing consumer market in the suburban areas. That new method of meeting economic demands was the creation of the mall, a large suburban shopping center located outside the town center, near and accessible to its suburban customers. The mall contained several large national anchor stores, restaurants and small independent businesses. In the 1990’s, the success of malls was embraced by developers that built even larger malls across the country, like the Mall of America in Minneapolis, that not only provided shopping opportunities, but included a mega entertainment center with a rollercoaster, theaters and upscale restaurants. The growth of this new consumer marketing concept continued to expand here in Colorado.

The Cherry Creek and Southglenn malls come to mind. In that last three years, Colorado retail markets have experienced a disturbing economic trend. That disrupted trend is the continued increases in market share by online marketers like Amazon. This trend is being felt in Aurora where Amazon is near completion of a 452,400-square-foot sorting center that will process customers’ orders within hours for immediate delivery. Amazon’s goal is to deliver product within 30 minutes after the order is placed. Walmart has similar plans for such a facility to expand its online business. A recent survey by the National Retail Federation estimated that 109 million Americans shopped online over the holiday shopping season last year. It has been announced recently that national big-box stores like Macy’s, Sears and Kmart are closing hundreds of retail stores across the nation. This shows the negative impact e-commerce is having on traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Many major

brands, while late to the fight, are setting up their own online divisions to compete with Amazon’s successful venture. The other problem facing traditional retail is changing consumer attitudes to shopping in stores. Many consumers find that going to a mall is becoming inconvenient with crowds, rude clerks and a lack of inventory. Parking is also becoming a disincentive. Witness the significant reduction in revenues at the Cherry Creek mall once a parking fee was initiated. People today want convenience, better selection and less stress in their shopping experience. Simply going online with your cellphone or iPad to order your Mother’s Day gift and having it delivered in 30 minutes is a lot easier than standing in line on the day before. There is room in our economy for both types of consumer marketing. In the 1900s, Sears and Roebuck started selling merchandise though catalogs. Sears even sold pre-fab houses in the 1920s. That marketing concept continues today and did not significantly influence the sales in local markets. Traditional retail outlets must find new and innovative ways to expand and retain their market share. Innovation and customer service are the key to success. Find the new niche and everyone will prosper.

sandwich. Maybe a second slice of bologna, or perhaps the restaurant’s signature biscuit would be a heartier bread? Still, if one is searching for a $10 bologna sandwich worth its weight in lunchmeat, here it is. “We may not be food critics, but we know bologna,” Greg Reinke said, with no reference to his intended spelling. My other favorite lunch in recent memory was at the State of Our City by Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon. [I’m not too proud to pile my plate at these affairs.] But it was another former area mayor, Doug Tisdale of Cherry Hills Village, who made a wry observation as I ran around the grand ballroom taking photos of Noon speaking. As it happened, I had taken the glass elevator up to Embassy Suites’

third floor to get a bird’s eye view of Noon and her audience of residents and public officials. Remember Mel Brooks’s goof of Jimmy Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo? “Look carefully to see The Villager’s own Peter Jones in the elevator as he does his best to channel Mel Brooks in the film High Anxiety,” Tisdale posted on Facebook. I must add that at least one of Tisdale’s respondents remarked that I had to be too young to remember Brooks’s 1977 all-purpose Hitchcock parody. Thank you, Centennial City Councilmember Kathy Turley! As I posted in response, in the midst of other replies, “I’m glad this is getting all the social-media traction it deserves. A speech from the mayor only goes so far.” Noon clicked “like.”

New Cherry Hills City Center on its way City approves 2017 budget Cherry Hills Village City Council is moving ahead on the new Village Center project, which will include a new city hall. Demolition of the present building will start this summer with the public works facility moving to the new location at 2101 W. Quincy Ave. in Sheridan. Cost of the projects will be $11.8 million for buildings, relocations and improvements to John Meade Park and Alan Hutto Memorial Commons. Taxes will not be raised to pay for the projects. City Council members reviewed the 2017 budget at their recent meeting and approved $6,925,454 with a budget surplus of $1,521,621. The 2016 audit report from John Cutler & Associates was approved. The report shows the assets of Cherry Hills exceeded its liabilities by $36 million at the close of 2016. Of this amount, $14.8 million may be used to meet the city’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. Karen Proctor, director of finance and administration, reported that at

the close of fiscal year 2016, Cherry Hills’ combined governmental fund balances were $16.9 million, an increase of $99,794, as compared to 2015. The bottom line is that the city was reported as being in excellent fiscal condition and able to move forward on the new Village Center. The council held a very short business meeting April 18, approving the 2017 budget and hearing a report on the Quincy Farm Management Plan and a report from Russell Stuart from the Parks and Recreation Committee. The 17.5-acre farm at 4400 and 4450 E. Quincy Ave. comprises 17.5 acres of land, which were deeded to the city in 2007 by Catherine Anderson with the intent to share her unique and beautiful property with the community. Anderson also granted a conservation easement on the farm to Colorado Open Lands to ensure the continued preservation of its natural landscape. When “Cat,” as she was known, passed away June 2, 2016, Quincy Farms was transferred to the city on a provision that the farm be operated in accordance with an approved city management plan. The city approved such a plan and heard a project report and slide

presentation from Stuart. In other brief reports and discussions, the council is considering a request from resident Winslow Waxter to allow fences along Colorado Boulevard between Hampden and Mansfield avenues to ease noise for homes bordering those streets. Any proposed new fencing may require need future code revisions. City Manager Jim Thorsen advised that with the purchase of new police motorcycles, “… our courts have been very busy.” The city is working with the Colorado Department of Transportation on a possible traffic-signal light on Belleview Avenue at the Glenmoor Country Club entrance and exit. Councilmember Katy Brown said she has been attending meetings on the realignment of air-traffic flight plans over the metro area. Final meetings are to be held: • May 1, 6 p.m., at Tivoli Student Union on the Metropolitan State University Campus • May 2, 6 p.m., at the Rocky Mountain Metro Airport, Mount Evans Conference Room, 11755, Airport Way in Broomfield • May 3, 5:30 p.m., Stuart Middle School Cafeteria, 15955 E. 101st Way in Commerce City

Wallace. “People with great forethought and planning and resources helped build this community over decades to become what it is today. … Anytime something happens in this community, it effects all the other parts of the community. It really is an ecosystem that we all want to preserve and protect.” Conflicting visions of a city at the literal crossroads of I-25, Belleview and Arapahoe have been part and parcel of the debate over the Subarea. Last month, a divided City Council opted to let the voters decide a question that many see as fundamental to Greenwood’s future—with everything from mountain views to traffic and home ownership hanging in the balance. Councilmember Freda Miklin stressed that many elements of the discussion have been part of the city’s vision discussion for nearly a decade. “Outside experts unanimously agreed that the best vision for redeveloping Orchard Station was carefully planned mixed-use, very much like what had been envisioned for the Arapahoe Station Village Center that had not materialized,” Miklin told the luncheon, noting Alberta Development Partners withdrew its Orchard plan last year in response to controversy.

A dog's life of Riley at A Fur Stylist BY PETER JONES NEWS EDITOR

Like the barber on the Beatles’ “Penny Lane,” A Fur Stylist boasts photographs of every head the owners have had the pleasure to know—or at least a few of them. “Some want it round and I’ll go ahead and cut it round,” stylist Gloria Craig said as she toured the wall of pampered dogs donning sunglasses. “The one next to it, the Wheaten—that’s a rounded-out face because she doesn’t like the beard.” “There’s a picture of a 200-pound St. Bernard,” added Paula Evans, Craig’s business partner. “It takes a long time to get him done. We’ll wash him and dry him and put him in the kennel.” “So he can take a nap,” Craig said with a laugh. “Then we’ll bring him back out and dry him some more, brush him out,” Evans added. “The customer’s request is that we go slow so he doesn’t get wiped out.” Since last September, Craig and Evans have let their new business go to the dogs with a commitment to treat each customer—or furry client, as the case may be—the way they would like to be treated, as long as it is in the healthy interest of the dog or cat in question. “Sometimes they go out of here in mohawks,” Craig said, citing an example. “The hardest thing we ever did was put a mohawk on a cat.” In addition to the standard hair fashioning implied by the business name, southeast Denver’s A Fur Stylist offers a wide range of other spa treatments for man’s and woman’s best friend—nail trimming, paw care, poultry-flavored teeth brushing, and even blueberry facials.

“It’s a special soft shampoo,” Craig said. “It kind of lightens the face. It’s all natural. It has essential oils in it to calm and relax the dog.” The services here are decidedly “old school,” according to the owners, who met nearly 20 years ago and bonded over their mutual love of animals while working as newspaper carriers. “The ‘new school’ is to shave them down, no matter what the customer says,” Evans said. The 60-ish partners say they wear the “old school” moniker with pride after having been phased out by newer players in the dog-pampering industry. After Craig survived a bout with breast cancer, she was determined to

prove her younger critics wrong. “Like my good friend Barb says, I’m not six feet under yet,” she said. With Craig pushed from her job and Evans no longer in charge of a nonprofit no-kill animal shelter, the two decided to tie their leashes to the same pole. The result has been A Fur Stylist, a customerservice-geared beauty shop for dogs and cats (and even a few guinea pigs). The business is run their way—“old school,” in the nicest sense of the term. But that is not to say the owners are not hip to the latest styles, Asian fusion, for example. “They take these little Maltese and they actually make them look like a stuffed animal,” Evans said. “It’s moving from the West Coast.”

lamb and place on a wire rack, then place in a roasting pan. Sprinkle the lamb with salt, lightly covering, and place in the oven. Cook for 55 to 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. 4. Once the leg of lamb is completely cooked, take it out of the oven and place on pan or cutting board. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. 5. Using a carving knife, slice the lamb to the desired serving portion. Remember to hold the lamb at a temperature of 140°F or above. 6. Serve the lamb with a side of potatoes such as roasted fingerling potatoes and a vegetable such as grilled Brussel sprouts. A mint pesto is a nice accompaniment to be served on the side.

Honoring extraordinary youth in Centennial Centennial Youth Commission and SAFEbuilt Present Six Youth Achievement Awards On April 11, the City of Centennial recognized six outstanding Centennial high school students with Youth Achievement Awards. The awards honor and recognize Centennial youth who have made a significant impact on the community through volunteer work or other special deeds that demonstrate exceptional leadership. The students who received a $500 scholarship in 2016 are Brittany Berglund, Haylee Blach, Nicholas Harguth-Galyas, Lucy Lawrence, Dylan Van Denend and Abigail Wist. • Brittany Berglund, a Cherry Creek High School senior, has volunteered for the Children’s Museum of Denver and the Marisco Campus Low Sensory program, where she trains other volunteers. She is the winner of the Presidents Volunteer Service Award and has served as a tutor for Beyond the Bell, the Avid Program and at Pine Ridge Elementary School. • Haylee Blach, a Regis High School senior, has volunteered at the

Salvation Army, Feed My Starving Children, Place Bridge Academy, the Ronald McDonald House, Food Bank of the Rockies and Newborns in Need. She also went on a mission trip to Nicaragua to build a house for a single mother and her children.

Hurry…don’t miss the Furry Scurry! Bring your dog for a walk in the park to raise money for homeless pets and horses! The Dumb Friends League is hosting its 24th annual Furry Scurry dog walk on Saturday, May 6 in Denver’s Washington Park. What is the Furry Scurry? It’s a Colorado tradition and the largest dog walk in the country! Thousands of animal lovers and their dogs will meet up to enjoy a beautiful spring day, while walking around Wash Park. Is that it? Of course not! After you finish the two-mile jaunt, enjoy refreshments for you and your pup, sample delicious eats from one of the food trucks, show off your dog’s talents to win cool prizes, see dog agility and sporting demonstrations and visit more than 150 pet-related vendors and sponsors at the Flealess Market. Registration and participation in the Furry Scurry help the Dumb Friends League care for more than 22,000 homeless pets each year. Funds raised at this event through registration fees and individual donations provide medical care to sick and injured animals, behavior training that allows pets to be adopted more quickly, investigations of animal neglect and mistreatment, and much more. “As a local, independent nonprofit, the Dumb Friends League relies on events like the Furry Scurry so we can continue to open our doors to every animal in need,” said Bob Rohde, president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League. “We are not affiliated with any national groups, and we don’t receive government funding. What we do is possible only because of the generous people right here in our community.” The Furry Scurry is the Dumb Friends League’s largest fundraising event, with this year’s goal to raise more than $1 million for homeless pets and horses. Registering for the Furry Scurry is as easy as the two-mile walk itself.

She has volunteered at Project CURE, Fresh Harvest Food Bank, Newborns in Need, Project Angel Heart, the Holly Creek Community Center and has served as an elementary school tutor.

Friends of Nursing awards $55,000 in scholarships at spring luncheon Since 1981, the Friends of Nursing organization has awarded annual scholarships to students in Colorado schools and colleges of nursing. This year at Lakewood Country Club, 21 ambitious scholars from nine schools were awarded $55,000 worth of scholarships. Some of their individual and diverse future aspirations include pursuing a master’s in nursing and becoming a nurse practitioner, a plan to work for several years to gain more clinical experience before pursuing an M.S. with a focus on nursing education, working in a healthcare setting to advocate for geriatric, low income and ethnic minority populations, seeking a position as a nurse practitioner in a rural setting, pursuing a master’s in nursing to become a nurse educator, or working in a community health setting to promote

preventive health education. Others are drawn to work in a pediatric setting in a rural area of southern Colorado because of a passion for interacting with patients and families, pursuing a doctorate to become a nurse practitioner, becoming a family nurse practitioner at the University of Northern Colorado, gaining a position in the new Graduate Residency Program at Children’s Hospital, working in a public-health setting and ultimately pursuing a master’s in public health, and upon completion of BSN, working with underserved populations to address health disparities.

Colorado radio personality Rick Crandall has become the perennial favorite as Friends of Nursing’s emcee for this event.

Cancer survivors ‘LiveStrong’ at YMCA It is widely known that physical activity can lower the risk of cancer and other harmful diseases, but research now also suggests exercise may benefit cancer survivors too. Studies show survivors who exercise regularly experience less fatigue and symptoms after treatment, which could lower their risk of recurrence. With that in mind, the YMCA of Metropolitan Denver, including Littleton, is partnering with the nationally recognized LiveStrong Foundation to offer LiveStrong at the YMCA for free to all qualifying participants. Program participants who are not YMCA members, as well as their caregivers, will receive a free YMCA membership for the duration of the program. With a combination of physical activities and group support, LiveStrong at the YMCA provides a positive environment for survivors to test their limits and reclaim their health. Over a 12-week period, professional instructors guide participants to address the unique physical needs and safety con-

He recently underwent five cycles of chemotherapy and is still living with prostate cancer. After years of feeling like his body was no longer his own, Garrity received an email from the Schlessman YMCA about a pilot program for cancer survivors and immediately knew it was meant for him. He was instantly welcomed by the staff and bonded with other participants. “It’s a sense of accomplishment. So much is taken from you that you don’t know what you’re capable of anymore physically,” Garrity said. “Having a shared experience and that sense of comradery with other people going through YMCA, including Littleton, will soon be kicking off the the same thing really gives you LiveStrong fitness program for cancer survivors. the confidence and the courage to Courtesy of YMCA of metropolitan Denver make your way back.” LiveStrong at the YMCAfocuses cerns for those affected by cancer. very different.

She shared her latest work, Mothers Without Borders: Steering Youth Away From Violent Extremism. She is interested in developing strategies for harnessing the power of mothers and wives in order to prevent youth radicalization and her message highlighted her work on the subject. She has been celebrated worldwide for her pro bono work defending people condemned under Islamic Shariah laws.

It offers advice for counsel practicing in Shariah courts worldwide, particularly in cases involving women.

from pickle ball to line dancing, but also had plenty of laughs along the way. Even after finishing the program, they still try to work out together and share stories when they can. Garrity hopes others will get involved in the program in the coming months. When asked what advice he would give to other survivors, Garrity stressed the importance of locating resources, showing up, and overcoming the stigma that cancer is a solo battle. “We have to accept all parts of ourselves, even the darkness. Find some sort of connection or community and you won’t be sorry. It might even save your life,” he said. The Schlessman Family YMCA and the Downtown Denver YMCA branches are currently enrolling participants for the first official LiveStrong at the YMCA programs, with target start dates in April. The Littleton Family YMCA branch plans to kick off in May. To learn more, visit denverymca. org/healthy-living/livest rong. Email mthompson@denverymca. org or call 720-524-2747.

Barbwire Bob

Ramblin’ around the corral with Bob Sweeney Hats off to Pastor Bob Beltz and his growing Highline Community Church in Greenwood Village, located in the old Channel 2 TV station complex, several blocks south of Sheplers. The congregation provided Easter dinner for 170 challenged families—nearly 700 people—on that special day. I’m sure that other area churches also provided many needed services for those in need, mentally and physically. Government cannot do it all, and the work that churches do is so vital and important in today’s world. Good work, Bob and your congregation!

speed ECT sequential transmission provides a perfect package, and the result is 30 mpg average on impressive highway drives. The Camry final assembly is performed in Georgetown, Ky. The test model displays colorful “blue streak” metallic paint and is a four-door sedan with a spacious trunk area. Safety is a major concern for all Toyota vehicles and the Camry has the Star Safety System that includes 10 airbags and all safety features. This model has a moon roof and rear spoiler with chrome-tipped twin exhausts. Toyota has made a real effort to make this Camry top of the line with major performance capabilities.

I see a lot of Nissans parked along East Arapahoe Road, and it was a real pleasure to drive one of the 2017 Murano Platinum cars last week. This was my first experience in driving a Murano and a real pleasure and somewhat of a surprise. This is a great all-around allwheel vehicle. The first introduction to the vehicle are the doors, which open and shut like steel vaults. That may be part of the overall fivestar safety rating. Manufacturer’s suggested base price on this platinum model is $40,780 with another $2,200 for a technology package that includes the panoramic moon roof, cruise control and forward collision warning known as PFCW. I would hardly describe these as a “technology package,” but that’s how this SUV design is priced You get a lot for your dollar with this Murano, beginning with the exterior “artic blue metallic paint” and a leather “cashmere” interior, well done with front and rear zerogravity outboard bucket seating, eight-way due and unpaid on account of such claim. 2. Any such claim(s) shall be filed with the City Clerk at 13133 East Arapahoe Road, Centennial, CO 80112 prior to the Final Settlement Date. 3.

LPS ‘Accredited with Distinction’ for sixth consecutive year SUBMITTED BY LPS Littleton Public Schools was recently presented with 14 awards from the Colorado Department of Education. In addition to eight John Irwin School of Excellence Awards, four Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Awards and the English Language Proficiency Act Excellence Award, LPS earned the rating of Accredited with Distinction for the sixth consecutive time. LPS is one of only seven school districts in the state, and the only school district in the Denver metro area, to have received this rating every year since its creation. This year, only 25 districts were Accredited with Distinction, placing LPS among the top of all school districts in the state. To receive this rating, CDE says, “Districts Accredited with Distinction have earned 80 percent or more of possible points on the District Per-

formance Frameworks. The District Performance Frameworks measure student performance in academic achievement, academic growth, academic growth gaps and post-secondary and workforce readiness.” Superintendent Brian Ewert said, “The district’s accreditation rating is a testament to the hard work, dedication and professionalism of all LPS staff, students and parents. We will display this award proudly.” LPS also received the ELPA Excellence Award. Created as part of a 2014 bill amending the English Language Proficiency Act, the award honors districts and schools that achieved the highest growth among learners in an English Language Proficiency Program and that achieve the highest academic achievement for Eng-

lish learners who transition out of such a program. LPS is one of only 10 districts

and 10 schools to receive this award in 2016. This is the second time LPS has received the ELPA Excellence Award. Eight LPS schools received the John Irwin Award. Given to schools that exceed expectations on the three-year school-perfor-

mance framework indicator, their academic achievement meets or exceeds expectations related to academic growth gaps. Additionally, they demonstrate the highest levels of achievement, not just for some students, but also for adequate performance across all student groups. For high schools, this means that they also meet or exceed graduation expectations. Only 168 schools received this award in 2016. LPS Schools that received the John Irwin Award are: • Arapahoe High School • Powell Middle School • Littleton Academy • Franklin Elementary School • Lenski Elementary School • Runyon Elementary School • Sandburg Elementary School

• Wilder Elementary School Four LPS schools earned the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award. Presented to schools that demonstrate excellent student growth, as measured by the School Performance Framework, these schools exceed expectations on the indicator related to longitudinal academic growth over three years. Only 128 schools received this award in 2016. LPS School that received the Governor’s Distinguished Improvement Award are: • Runyon Elementary School • Wilder Elementary School • Franklin Elementary School • Hopkins Elementary School “We are so very proud of our schools and wanted also to recognize these achievements here with our board. We know that reaching these milestones takes hard work and dedication on the part of our teachers, students and families,” Ewert said.

Educators honored at LDS teacher appreciation dinner BY DAVID LIGGETT Thirteen area educators were honored at the 2016 Teacher Appreciation Dinner sponsored by the Littleton Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The annual event allows high school seniors to honor teachers, coaches or others who have had an important

impact on the student. Sometimes those honored are from an earlier time in the student’s education. Students determine who they want to honor and then write and deliver a tribute with the honoree in attendance at the dinner. The tributes are often humorous, but many times also very touching as students relate how their lives were changed for the better by

having been helped by their teacher, mentor and friend. Some students said they had to decide between more than one person to honor. A couple of quotes from the tributes included: “Lessons learned will stay with me for a long time because they are life lessons.” And another quote, “Thank you for being a good example and thank you for being my friend.”

The keynote speaker was Stacey Riendeau, principal of Heritage High School. “Education provides such a special sense of community,” she said. Riendeau thanked the students for their thoughtfulness in honoring those who had helped them so much. She said being a part of a community that can work with great peers, as well as great students, makes it such a rewarding career choice. Mark Sabey, president of the Littleton Stake, said he was personally appreciative of the educators in the area who had touched the lives of his six children as they attended school and grew into adults. He thanked those honored, the students and others in attendance, such as administrators and school board members. Sabey said, “It is all about gratitude and humility. Not just the teaching, but also the intangibles of heart and connection.” The following are the students and LDS Littleton Stake President Mark Sabey with teacherhonoree Garren Cuthrell
