$2.128 million Greenwood Gulch-Holly to High Line Canal gets underway In 1998, homes in the area of Orchard Road and Holly Street, and those upstream were being constructed at a steady clip, resulting in more pavement and less raw ground that could absorb water every year. Greenwood Gulch had suffered significant erosion and deterioration. Greenwood Village, along with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (FCD), designed and built what was to be a wide, flat, self-sustaining wetlands restoration project in Greenwood Gulch to produce clean water and serve as a wildlife habitat. In the years that followed, nearby residents noticed that the project was not working as planned, but they were unable to get the attention of anyone who was in a position to help. Finally, in 2014, the community got a response from the GV public
works department, who started to assess the performance of the gulch, which had been essentially without maintenance since it was built. Years of deposited sediments and the expansion of cattails had resulted in changes to the water flow. Moderate rains were causing frequent trail and private property flooding, approaching the 100-year floodplain boundary. GV public works, FCD, and consulting engineers began to craft a long-term solution to a problem that had built up over nearly two decades. The first thing they determined was that they needed to redesign and replace a new pedestrian crossing that was much larger than the existing one during dry periods. That is the initial phase of this project and will consist of 1,900 linear feet of the low flow channel. Additional project goals were identified in 2015 and 2016

were: 1) to improve water flow and movement of sediment; 2) to reduce the frequency of trail and property flooding; 3) to improve the ecological function of the gulch, and 4) to maintain the existing 100-year floodplain. The design was completed in 2017 and a required permit from the Army Corps of Engineers was finalized in March. In October 2017, through the concerted efforts of GV city council and staff, the required $2.128 million cost was all put into place. The $1.32
million is coming from the GV capital improvement fund, $621,000 is being provided by Urban Drainage FCD, and $187,500 is from Arapahoe County open space grant funds. The project is already underway and should be completed this year. Once finished, water is expected to move slowly and capture debris, which will be deposited in a sediment basin that will be emptied regularly by city staff. Cattail growth will be managed, along with other wetland turf

grasses. The water that flows through the gulch goes into the ponds in the Marjorie Perry Nature Preserve and eventually to the South Platte River.

GV council takes on Mother Nature and cut-through traffic, appoints commissioners Living with wildlife
At its April 2 meeting, Parks, Trails and Recreation Director Suzanne Moore reported to GV City Council on efforts to deal with the plethora of solid waste left behind by geese in the city’s parks. She reported that many geese in the area are residential, not migratory, so it is very difficult to get them to relocate. Council member Dave Kerber asked Moore to look into whether the city could treat goose eggs in nests to prevent them from hatching, so as to reduce the overall population. Police Chief Dustin Varney presented data that showed there were fewer coyote sightings, hazing efforts and necessary destructions 2017 than 2016. He explained the city’s longstanding program for living with coyotes, which relies heavily on educating residents and encouraging them to keep close track of pets at all times has been successful. Responding to a question from the council, he said that there have been no attacks on people by coyotes,
according to police department records. Varney said there were 20 pet attacks reported to GVPD in the past two years, but it was unclear how many were lethal.
Responding to neighborhood traffic concerns
The public works department gets regular complaints about traffic issues in the city’s neighborhoods. Most often, they are about speeding, but as the local population increases, cutting through residential areas to avoid busy roadways is increasingly common. The routeguidance apps are known to direct drivers to residential streets to avoid busy commercial intersections. One example that has been on the city’s radar since residents first raised it with their city council representatives in last year, is Gaylord Way, just south and west of the Curtis Arts Center. A city council representative and public works’ staff met with the residents twice in 2017 and agreed on methods to assess and address neighbors’
concerns that the street was being used to avoid the busy corner of Orchard Street and University Avenue. There were also concerns expressed about speeding. In the months that followed, the city took numerous steps to tackle residents’ concerns, with some success. Still, the majority of residents want speed humps, something that Greenwood Village has never used on its roads. Council will formulate a policy to move forward, likely starting with adding temporary speed humps. Other neighborhoods with current traffic concerns waiting for solutions are South Boston Street in Autumn Hills and Riviera Hills, Clarkson Street south of Belleview, Sundance Hills and Huntington Acres.
For the love of trees
In Mayor Ron Rakowsky’s absence, Mayor Pro-Tem George Lantz proclaimed April 21 Arbor Day in Greenwood Village. As he has in prior years, Keith Wood of the Colorado State Forest Service presented Kurt Nielsen, the city’s Open Space/Forestry
Supervisor, Greenwood Village’s 29th Tree City USA award. Wood pointed out that the award has rigorous standards that must be met each year to merit its receipt. He told the council that research shows that trees help keep the air and water clear and improve the quality of life in cities and towns.
New appointees to city boards and commissions
Council appointed two new commissioners from District 2, via the consent agenda. Submitting applications for appointment to the planning and zoning commission from district 2, between January and March, were Jill Burbary, Nancy Calonge, Daniele Gatti, Jon Huggins, James David Ingram, John Nagy, Henry Siegel and Jim Underhill. Calonge and Siegel also applied for appointment to the board of adjustments and appeals. Siegel was one of three candidates who ran against current district 2 city council members Kerber and Ingebretsen in 2017. Richard Easton of the Greenwood Hills neigh-
borhood was selected for the Planning and Zoning Commission, replacing Jon Ekoniak, who resigned his position in December due to work obligations. Nancy Calonge of Greenwood Hills was appointed to the Board of Adjustments and Appeals, replacing Seanna Mulligan, who had been elected vice-chair of BOAA by her fellow commissioners in January and sought reappointment upon the expiration of her term. Mulligan told The Villager that after a lengthy interview with the current council representatives of district 2, she was informed by council member Ingebretsen that she would not be reappointed to BOAA because her “values were not in line with the city.” Invited to respond, Ingebretsen said that Mulligan “was resistant to the results of the referendum.” Kerber, the other district 2 council member, added that Mulligan’s “position showed a lack of respect for the people’s judgment in the election.” Mulligan, like Siegel, ran against Kerber and Ingebretsen for city council in the last election.

Commissioner Holen appointed to national transportation committee
Arapahoe County Commissioner Bill Holen was appointed to serve on two national committees aimed at pursuing legislation to address a broad array of programs that support transportation and highway and bridge infrastructure, military families and strengthen communities throughout the country. Holen serves on the National Association of Counties Transportation Steering Committee, in which he was appointed chair of the airport subcommittee. He also serves on the Veterans and Military Services Committee, a position he has held since 2016. The National Association of Counties is the only national organization that represents county governments in the United States. Founded in 1935, NACo assists
America’s 3,069 counties in pursuing excellence in public service to produce healthy, vibrant, safe and resilient counties. NACo promotes sound public policies, fosters county solutions and innovation, promotes intergovernmental and public-private collaboration and provides value-added services to save counties and taxpayers money. NACO’s Transportation subcommittee is responsible for all matters related to federal transportation legislation, funding and regulation and its impacts on county government. This includes highway and bridge development, finance and safety, public transit development and finance, transportation planning, airport development and service, passenger and freight railroads, ports and
waterways, freight vmovement and resevarch and development of new modes of transportation. NACO’s Veterans and Military Services Committee and its members work to develop and highlight county best practices and policies to promote innovative programs, services and benefits for our nation’s military, veterans and their families. “It is an honor to be chosen for both committees, but I take great pride in serving in a leadership capacity to work on airport and transportation issues,” said Holen is serving his second term as commissioner representing District 5, which includes Glendale and portions of Aurora. “I look forward to working with commissioners from counties across our nation to share new and innovative ideas and find
Weaver resigns as Douglas County commissioner, appointed marshal David A. Weaver, Douglas County Commissioner District I, has announced that he will vacate his commissioner seat effective Sunday, April 1, 2018, to accept the presidential appointment of United States Marshal for the District of Colorado. “Although my plan had been to not only complete my first term as commissioner and then run for a second term, the honor of this nomination and opportunity to serve in law enforcement at the federal level as the U.S. marshal for Colorado was an opportunity as a public servant I knew I must do,” said Weaver.
It has been an honor to serve Douglas County for the past 38 years and I hope I leave it a better place,” said Weaver. “We will miss Dave’s leadership, his positive approach to problem-solving and the experience he brings to all opportunities and challenges,” said Roger Partridge, county commissioner. “I’ve known Dave since 1984 when I was a trooper and he was a deputy serving Douglas County,” said Lora Thomas, commissioner. “Dave’s concern for Douglas County is obvious and he will be missed,” she stated. Weaver, former Douglas
County Sheriff, began his service career in the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in 1981. He was sworn in as Douglas County commissioner, District I, July 21, 2014, filling a vacancy created by the departure of Jack Hilbert who resigned his position six months before the completion of his second term. Weaver was subsequently elected to the position in 2014 and began serving his own first term January 2015. During the same year he was named the 2015 Freshman Commissioner of the Year by Colorado Counties Inc.
ways to improve and protect our nation’s transportation infrastructure.” Holen is a Vietnam Army Veteran and a former member of the Colorado Air National Guard. He serves as a Goodwill Ambassador to the United States Air Force 460th Space Wing Command Commander’s Group. In 2013, he chaired the Colorado Bipartisan Military Post-Traumatic Stress Task Force, which address PTSD
and brain trauma to veterans returning home from service. In 2013, he participated in the U.S. Air Force Air War College and the 60th Annual National Security Forum. That same year, he jointly led the County’s Prescription Drug Overdose task force, a coalition of community leaders, doctors and administrators from Kaiser Permanente, to address the staggering abuse of prescription pain medications, such as oxycodone.

Easter sends a message of hope Easter and Passover week are special for families. We enjoyed the day and attended the Highline Community Church in Greenwood Village. Saw a number of friends, including radio/TV icon Lee Larsen who is an elder in the church. Highline is several years old, started by veteran pastor Dr. Bob Beltz who is known throughout the metro area as a great teacher of the scriptures. It was Beltz and Dr. Jim Dixon who started the Cherry Hills Community Church that was once in Cherry Hills decades ago, moving out to Highland’s Ranch where the church is very successful with over 5,000 members, and a school. Dixon retired and soon after died. His death was a shock to the church world where he had
made such a huge impact arising from the Aurora Presbyterian Church community. He and Beltz were blessed pastors working together to build the large congregation. Senior pastor Beltz lived up to his reputation this past Sunday morning as he walked his church members and guests through the aftermath of Christ’s crucifixion. He described the crucifixion and the resurrection as the two greatest days of world history, and one could not have happened without the other. Both events gave rise to the birth of Christianity that we observe and celebrate on Easter Sunday. He related that these events are well recorded in history and mark the birth of this religious faith that has grown worldwide in the 2,018 years of history. He recited that 11 of the 12 disciples all came to tragic
Barbwire Bob I’m sorry that Cherry Hills Community Church doesn’t hold their annual Easter Service at Fiddler’s Green anymore. It went away shortly before the death of Jim Dixon, the very distinguished pastor of that very successful church once located in Cherry Hills Village, now a Highland’s Ranch megachurch. Under Jim’s watch the weather always turned out sunny and warm and the service was always superb with Jim’s wisdom of the Bible and his ability to quote scriptures from memory. *** The Denver Auto Show starts this week, opening Wednesday and lasting thru Sunday at the downtown Convention Center complex. This year bigger and better than ever with all major brands of trucks, cars, jeeps and vans of all proportions. This is an excellent time to stroll by the many models marked with prices, and compare the various products and prices. Don’t drool on the cars or carpet, however. The new safety features are constantly improving with cameras, brakes, air bags, radar and smart stop technology. The development of turbocharged four-cylinder engines is remarkable in power and fuel efficiency. The hybrid products continue to improve in performance and fuel efficiency. The popularity and efficiency of electric powered cars are spreading with more competition to Tesla’s popularity and success. *** Coming up Saturday night will be the Bridge of Love Gala at the Denver Marriott Tech Center benefiting Bessie’s Hope. This year’s event honors Arlene Mohler Johnson who will receive the Angel Award for her many accomplishments in public service. Arlene has a world of friends and a reputation for doing things first-class. She is deserving of many honors and we all fondly remember her late husband Don Johnson. *** We continue to receive some complaints from readers
deaths with only John living into his 90s. It was heart-warming to see that this new church, with 450 members, was able to distribute 150 food baskets to worthy recipients for the Easter weekend. Our Jewish friends have been celebrating Passover and we wish everyone, of every faith, gender and race, peace and understanding as we move forward in challenging times. Easter reminds us that there is more to life than the political world, and that kindness and caring for neighbors, friends, and family far outweigh what is transpiring in Washington D.C. Easter is a time that all of us can be friends and enjoy our religious beliefs freely as we go about our daily lives. “Love thy neighbor as thyself…” three of my neighbors were in Highland Church Sunday morning and we all sat together.

As a legal newspaper, The Villager is to be delivered as first-class mail, not junk or bulk mail. However, some of the mail carriers can’t tell the difference between a legal newspaper and a junk third-class publication that can sit for up to seven days before delivery. It seems like most of the problems are coming from the Littleton post office. We discussed this issue with several of the postmasters who show concern and offer to improve the newspaper delivery service. You should receive the paper by Thursday or Friday. If you don’t, call B.T. Galloway at 303-773-8313 ext. 301 and leave the date and address of where you live and we will file that complaint with your post office. Also, put a note in your mailbox stating that The Villager is a legal newspaper and should be delivered as first-class mail on a timely basis. Mailing newspapers is an expensive service but we’ve always found that this is the best way to deliver the product rather than throwing newspapers in people’s yards. *** Last week I returned to one of my favorite stomping grounds, the Denver Press Club located across from the Denver Athletic Club. This club is the oldest operating press club in America, celebrating 150 years of operation and weathering many storms. The worst being the closing of the Rocky Mountain News and the declining number of Denver Post staffers in the downtown area. For decades journalists, public relations figures, newspaper folks, have gathered at the private club to gossip, drink and dine. Many famous names and faces appear around the historic venue. My visit last week was to one of their events entitled, “What Does Russia Want?” featuring a panel of speakers including Deb Palmieri, the Honorary Consul General of Russia with an office still open
in Denver, maybe one of the last ones in existence. She is a Denverite and noted author who has traveled and written extensively about the old U.S.S.R. and the Russian state. The other panel members were Ann Imse, who worked in Russia with The Associated Press; Anastasiya Bolton, of Russian heritage who works for 9News, and Jonathan Adelman, a fellow at the Joseph Korbel School of International Relations. A highlight of the evening was a live hookup with a Russian reporter from Moscow but experienced distracting broadcast equipment failures. Bottom line was Russia wants to have peace and not have foreign tanks and missiles on its borders. The panel didn’t take sides on issues but related the importance of reducing the risk and consequences of any first strike actions by any country with nuclear weapons and the need for diplomacy. A nuclear scientist from Boulder commented from the audience that recent protest marches should be about nuclear threats and dangers, not just about gun violence. A nuclear threat meaning mass destruction of the world as we know it. Some thought was given that the demonizing of Russia without any substantial evidence was an attempt to weaken the presidency of Donald Trump by association with the “evil” Russian regime and Vladimir Putin. Bottom line, it appeared that the Russians just want to be left alone and certainly have an interest in regaining any portion or part of the old U.S.S.R. regime that was once part of their vast empire. *** Highlight of the week was attending the Colorado Woman’s Hall of Fame banquet at the Denver Hilton City Center as the guest of Dr. Bronwyn Bateman and the Boettcher Foundation. Bateman was the founder of the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute at the new Anschutz Medical Center, operating now as the CU Vision Center with over 40 doctors and over 100,000 patients. Starting with only several doctors,

This year’s Hall of Fame honored 10 women who have made a difference in Colorado education, philanthropy, science and the nonprofit community. The honorees included the late Mae Boettcher who was nominated by Bateman. Other recipients were Leslie Foster; Geraldine Grimes; Lt. Gen. (Ret) Susan Helms; Dorothy Horrell; Fay Matsukage; Ellis Meredith; Doreen Pollack; deceased honoree Amache Ochinee Prowers; and Ambassador Gail Schoettler. There are many Villager women honorees within this Hall of Fame. Founded in 1985, the Colorado Woman’s Hall of Fame highlights extraordinary women and their accomplishments to advance the roles of today’s women to levels of heightened recognition and as models of inspiration. The program relates that many in the hall are unsung heroes and hidden figures who have endured with strength, beauty and love. Yet, they are shining examples of the potential of all women. Their accomplishments are worthy of being emulated and have shaped history and transformed lives. Anne Trujillo, anchor of KMGH Channel 7 was the mistress of ceremonies and did an excellent job of introducing the recipients and their sponsors. Awards are presented every two years with an open committee nomination process. Information can be found at cogreat women.org. *** Continued on page 15

Finally, Recognition As those courageous Vietnam veterans returned home from the bloody battlefields and jungles of that southeast Asian war, they were met with shouts of anger, displays of disrespect and physical violence from scores of Americans, protesting the Vietnam War. As a disabled Vietnam veteran, I was forced to not tell people that I had served. Upon my return, I enrolled in college and simply tried to blend into the student population for fear that my exposure would only make me a victim of further discrimination. Student vets generally
socialized with fellow veterans, helping each other better cope with the transition from combat to student life on campus. That included me. Over 6 million military service members served during the Vietnam War. Over 58,000 died and 300,000 were wounded. The bond formed by Vietnam veterans continues today as a legacy of compassion, love and brotherhood that has helped thousands of vets in coping with the phys-
ical and emotional scars of war. That strong bond helped in the formation of the Vietnam Veterans of America, an organization that successfully lobbied for better employment, medical and mental health services and educational benefits for returning veterans. In addition to the visible displays of discrimination, employers refused, time and again, to hire Vietnam veterans. This led to an alarming unemployment rate of over
28 percent. This coupled with inadequate health and mental health services led to countless suicides by those who committed their levies to protect the freedom of American. The sad legacy of the Vietnam vet is that there was not any recognition by their government nor by the public for their service to this nation. In 2015 the Department of Defense issued a Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin, “To thank and honor the United States military veterans who served during the Vietnam War.” Over 50 years after my Vietnam service, I received an invitation to attend a cer-
emony at the new Mountain States Veterans Hospital in Aurora. The ceremony was to honor Vietnam veterans on National Vietnam War Veterans Day March 29. Over 30 Vietnam veterans attended the ceremony and were finally honored. Each was presented with Vietnam service lapel pin honoring their military service. Many of my old Vietnam buddies had tears in their eyes during the ceremony. Finally, our government and the American people have given these honorable men and women the recognition that they deserve.

the time they are undergoing surgery. If the blood pressure drops or the heart rhythm goes haywire during the surgery, who will be monitoring and treating it? If no nurse or anesthesiologist is watching the monitors, it then falls upon the surgeon to handle this. Seems simple BY BRIAN C. enough as the surgeon JOONDEPH is a doctor. Can’t they handle any medical issues that arise? Eye surgeons, including yours truly, are decades removed from treating high blood pressure or a cardiac arrhythmia. Aside from that, what is the surgeon actually doing during surgery? Concentrating intently on the task at hand, performing microsurgery within an orb the size of a large marble. If the surgeon is watching the blood pressure or EKG monitor, they are not focused on the eye they are operating on. Does a submarine captain, navigating through the ocean depths, monitor the engines and other onboard systems? Or is someone else assigned that task? Don’t commercial airplanes always fly with two pilots, one to fly the plane and the other to attend to other tasks? Sure, most eye surgeries are uneventful, and the anesthesiologist may have nothing to do during the procedure, but this is
not always the case. How many Anthem executives would allow their mother with high blood pressure to undergo cataract surgery without a nurse or anesthesiologist monitoring mom’s vital signs and EKG? Another related issue is a mandatory preoperative medical evaluation within 30 days of cataract surgery or even minor laser procedures performed in a surgery center. Medicare requires such an evaluation, despite studies showing such preoperative testing is neither necessary nor cost-effective. The government knows best. On the one hand, insurance companies and government bureaucrats mandate costly and unnecessary testing, yet, on the other hand, require cutting a safety corner to save a few dollars. It should then come as no surprise that medical care in the United States is so costly without outcomes reflective of this high cost. Then enter the bureaucrats, believing they know better than the doctors, applying fixes that only make matters worse, and unsafe for patients. Expect this trend to worsen as we give up more and more of our medical autonomy to insurance companies and the government. Or too big corporations such as Walmart that is currently in talks to buy insurance giant Humana. Corporate medicine is here and growing.

If you have been to the doctor recently, a second “doctor” may have been involved in your care. This second doctor doesn’t have “M.D.” after their name; instead, he or she is some nameless, faceless, insurance company bureaucrat deciding if your prescription, surgery or course of treatment is medically necessary and appropriate. Your personal physician has already made that decision, but that may not be enough, at least if the insurance company is to pay for it. Treatments need to be preauthorized, prescriptions medications may not be approved, or if they are, you may be paying sticker price. In my world of eye surgery, insurance company bureaucrats have decided that they know better than surgeons. Specifically, Anthem has a policy stating that for cataract surgery, “It’s not medically necessary to have an anesthesiologist or nurse on hand to administer and monitor sedation in most cases.” Oh really? Who is having eye surgery? Cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal problems generally occur in the elderly population, those with medical issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. This group of patients is at higher risk of some type of medical event occurring during

Because of term limits, three of the five seats on the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District Board of Directors are open for election Tuesday, May 8. The three new boardmembers will be responsible for overseeing the District’s $70+ million annual budget and nearly $140 million in future capital improvement projects. The board’s decisions will shape the future recreational experiences of 150,000+ district residents, and ultimately influence our property values and the economic health of our entire south metro community. Being current and past SSPRD board members, we know the skills, knowledge, team effort, and time commitment needed to be effective and productive in these positions. Susan Pye: known and respected throughout our community for her advocacy of seniors, having volunteered for and developed a number of programs to keep seniors and others safe, active,
healthy and independent. Susan is currently the chair of Centennial’s Senior Commission and is highly skilled in working with area municipalities and south metro area residents. Susan would be a valued and productive leader on the board and an empathetic advocate for residents of all ages and abilities. Pete Barrett: a longtime supporter of South Suburban’s parks and facilities and has campaigned for ballot measures and written numerous grants, all to keep the district’s amenities in excellent shape. Currently the executive director of the Littleton Soccer Club, Pete is an ardent advocate of youth sports, believing that the life lessons learned early through team play form a valuable foundation for a lifetime. Pete’s knowledge, advocacy of youth sports, and leadership would be of great value on the board. Dave Lawful: chair of the Lone Tree Citizens’ Recreation Advisory Committee, and as a cyclist, is highly familiar with South Suburban’s extensive trail system.
His project management and planning skills, developed in his career in the aerospace industry, would be an asset on the board. District residents and property owners may vote for up to three candidates at the polls Tuesday, May 8, or apply for a mail ballot in the next few weeks. Ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Polling locations, mail ballot applications, and bios of all nine candidates running for the three open seats can be found at ssprd.org. Candidates’ campaign materials can be found on tables at all South Suburban rec centers/facilities and golf courses.

3D Printing Store announces expansion of manufacturing services Using carbon 3D’s next-gen 3D manufacturing solution
The 3D Printing Store announced recently that it will be offering production part manufacturing services using Carbon M2 printers and proprietary Digital Light Synthesis (DLS) technology to Colorado and the Mountain States Region. With the addition of these printers to its existing 3D Printing facility at the mothership location in Centennial, the 3D Printing Store now offers real production capabilities that incorporate a revolutionary way to 3D Print plastic components. “We know that there is a
need for low- to mediumvolume plastic manufacturing, and that using 3D printing that has both speed and valuable material sets for industry has been needed for some time,” said Justin Finesilver, co-owner and principal, The 3D Printing Store. “Since we started the company, we have been assisting individuals, companies large and small, and industry groups with trusted knowledge and expertise in 3D design and printing. We watched the Carbon DLS technology with great interest and followed the development that brings this additive production manufacturing system to industry across many sectors.”
Over the last few years, 3D Printing has moved from a novelty and tool of a disparate group of enthusiasts to a real manufacturing technology that enhances the ability to produce parts for diverse industries. Carbon’s 3D printing is regarded as the most advanced form of new manufacturing technologies, working at the intersection of hardware, software, and molecular science. Its M2 printers and DLS technology deliver a breakthrough process that uses digital light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with complicated geometries and can reduce multipart assemblies into one
simplified print. Carbon’s complete 3D Manufacturing solution combines proprietary continuous printing technology with programmable liquid resins to create parts with isotropic mechanical properties that are similar in strength and surface finish to injection molded parts. The part creation is faster because it is a continuous process, whereas most 3D printing machines build up one layer at a time with pauses in-between. This continuous process not only reduces build time, but it also avoids the stair-steps created with most layered methods. This results in smooth surface finishes and allows for tex-
tures to be added onto parts. “Carbon’s novel approach enables much faster, higher quality products by fusing design, engineering and manufacturing together,” said Dana McCallum, head of production partnerships at Carbon. ““We’re excited to work with The 3D Printing Store to bring Carbon’s complete 3D Manufacturing solution to its customers.” The 3D Printing Store welcomes inquiries and will work with customers to immediately get parts ready for manufacturing with DLS. Visit the3dprintingstore.com or call 1-720-443-3733 to learn more.

Congressional District One Republicans hold assembly The 1st Congressional District of Colorado covers three different counties, but Denver has the lion’s share, with 83 percent of the district’s active voters. Jefferson County has 10 percent, and Arapahoe County comes in third with 7 percent. Of the total 465,756 active voters as of March 1, 45 percent are registered Democrats, 17 percent are Republicans, and 46 percent are unaffiliated. The unaffiliated numbers have increased in recent years, while the number registered with both major parties has declined. Still, it is
abundantly clear that the First Colorado Congressional District leans left. The district has been represented by Democrat Diana DeGette for the past 22 years. She won 68 percent, 66 percent, and 67 percent of the vote in the 2016, 2014 and 2012 elections, respectively. Democrat Patricia Schroeder held that seat for the 24 years preceding DeGette’s election in 1996. But that doesn’t mean that the Republicans concede anything. A very enthusiastic group of 200 of the party faithful met at Englewood High School March 31 to hear from its leaders and nominate Casper Stockham, as their candidate for
Congress. Stockham, a Christian marriage coach and business trainer, told The Villager that he is running because, “There is still a lot of work to do in the community, working with youth and holding workshops. Most people in the inner city don’t feel like they’re citizens.” He also ran for this seat in 2016, garnering 28 percent of the vote. Gubernatorial candidates Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and former Parker mayor Greg Lopez spoke to the crowd in support of Stockham. Leading the nomination process was state Sen. Tim Neville, and even former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo ap-
peared and revved up the crowd for Stockham. Also speaking to supporters were state Rep. Polly Lawrence, hoping to be Colorado’s next state treasurer (Walker Stapleton is running for governor, leaving the position with no incumbent), and Arapahoe County stalwarts Sheriff Dave Walcher and County Clerk Matt Crane. Both Walcher and Crane had interesting news to report. The sheriff, a 37-year law enforcement veteran, told the crowd that his office cooperates with its federal partners, including Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He said that if his department is about
to release someone in whom ICE is interested, he notifies them in advance. The clerk shared that his office now uses cutting-edge technology that verifies each and every signature on voted ballots. There was another noteworthy moment at the assembly when Mark Barrington, who just kicked off a campaign for the 7th Congressional District in late February, and is the only Republican seeking to unseat six-term incumbent Democrat Ed Perlmutter, called for term limits for Congress. The reaction of the room was decidedly 50/50, which may portend some interesting conversations in the future.
Virtual dementia experience, walking in their shoes
Firefighter paramedics and first responders in general can be considered the closest thing to being super heroes as humanly that is possible. As is the case with super heroes they have at least one thing that hinders their super powers as is the example with Superman and kryptonite. Although firefighters and first responders may not have super human powers, they do have training and skills that go above and beyond the norm that are associated in doing most normal everyday tasks. With the rise in cases of people afflicted with Alzheimer’s and dementia, an expected increase of 33 percent by 2025, firefighters and paramedics are now experiencing more encounters with these kinds of patients. New approaches in how firefighters and first responders deal with such encounters are being explored with added training. To get a better understanding of what an individual with dementia may going through, superhero firefighters may have to experience a loss of their superpowers, primarily those most of the population takes for granted. Highline Place an Anthem Memory Care residence hosted a Virtual Dementia Tour by Second Wind Dreams, where Littleton firefighter paramedics had the opportunity to experience what it may be like to be afflicted by Alzheimer’s and dementia. Firefighters were provided with equipment that basically hindered, if not completely blocked, their vision, hearing, manual dexterity and overall motor skills. Items provided were special glasses that blurred and Littleton firefighter paramedic Captain Michael Ryan attempts to set a dinner table while wearing equipment that have greatly reduced his overall motor skills including sight, hearing and manual dexterity.

blocked vision, earphones that provided white noise to simulate hearing loss, special gloves with fingers that were stitched together hindering their hands and overall manual dexterity, and special shoe inserts with contours and pressure points that simulated neuropathy and arthritis. Figuratively giving the experience of what it’s like to be in the shoes of those afflicted Alzheimer’s and dementia. The firefighters were then asked to perform simple everyday tasks such as setting a table for a meal, counting coins out for change, sorting and folding clothes and getting medication along with filling up a glass of water, and these tasks were timed. After completing the exercise, firefighters completed a questioner and had a discussion about their experience, and how it changes their perspective in approaching future situations in both emergency and non-emergency calls involving people with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Littleton firefighter paramedic Austin Hein and engineer paramedic Roxy Ligrani found it difficult to sort and pair socks with their sight and manual dexterity diminished.
Carol Waller was presented with the Mary Turner Lane Award by Karen Blilie.
Waller is recognized with Republican Mary Turner Lane Award
The Arapahoe County Republican party’s prestigious Mary Lane Award is presented annually to recognize an outstanding volunteer for his or her contributions to Republican candidates, organizations and activities. The award recognizes the unsung volunteer who says “yes” to volunteer opportunities, time after time, year after year. The Mary Turner Lane Award was established by William Lane in memory of his late wife Mary for her longtime volunteer involvement and commitment to the Arapahoe County Republican party. She served as past president of Cherry Creek Republican Women and was president of
the Colorado Federation of Republican Women at the time of her death. Carol Waller, the 2018 recipient of the Mary Turner Lane Award, has volunteered for the Arapahoe County Republican party and for the community for many years. She utilized her banking background by serving on the investment committee of her children’s school, Regis Jesuit High School. She has served as a precinct leader, district captain, and officer of Cherry Creek Republican Women. She has been a vital part of Cherry Creek Republican Women’s activities and fundraisers, participating in and hosting fundraisers for candidates, volunteering in TAPS,
a military support group, assisting with the Arapahoe County Lincoln Day dinner and special county GOP projects. She is presently serving as an Arapahoe County co-chair for 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler’s campaign for Colorado Attorney General. The 2017 recipient of the award, former Greenwood Village City Council member Karen Blilie, presented the award to Waller at the Arapahoe County Republican assembly March 24. Previous Mary Turner Lane Award recipients include Polly Page, Renee Welsh, Marty Bolt, Mort Marks, Mary Wenke, Bob Miles, Bill Banta, Debbie Brown, Laurett Barrentine and Andi Allott.

Gotto is Ting’s man in Centennial Adding fiber optic conduit increases property value
Front yard rights of way. Transmitting messages via light. A ring around all of Centennial. It all sounds very newage. And it is. These are all concepts that relate to Ting, a major player in today’s communications industry. At the center of executing these ideas is Mark Gotto, former Centennial Councilman. Gotto’s title is “city manager” for Ting’s Centennial operations. It is difficult to even imagine what the next Mark Gotto generation of communications will bring. Right now, Ting is getting set up to be a major internet player in Centennial by offering amazing speeds through its gigabit service. The rights of way have to do with Ting’s digging in areas that many residents have not realized exist on their property. Generally, for prop-
erties inside a city, the municipal entity has a right of way (a license) for use (but not ownership) of the front of the property, for two to four feet. If there is a strip of land at the front of the property, then a sidewalk, then the property, there generally is a right of way inside the sidewalk. As Ting has been installing conduit to convey information, some residents have been distressed by the digging on the right of way. What residents may not realize is that the conduit that is being laid (six to eight feet underground) likely will result in a 3 percent increase in the value of their property, according to Ting. Gotto concedes that some residents have complained about the digging on the right of way that extends into their yards. He states that Ting tries its best to restore the property at the conclusion of the digging. Eventually, within the next few years, there should be fiber optic conduit laid allaround the City of Centen-

nial, which is one of five Ting cities throughout the United States, primarily in the east. What distinguishes Centennial is that it is easily the biggest of the Ting cities. The others are Charlottesville, Va., Westminster, Md., Holly Springs, N.C., and Sandpoint, Idaho. The populations of these other municipalities range from 7,984 for Sandpoint, to 45,597 for Charlottesville. In Centennial, population 109,932, Ting is in the process of building a warehouse on Broncos Parkway, in the southern part of the city. That warehouse won’t be finished until early 2019. So for now, Gotto works out of his home. Ting, which is affiliated with Tucows, the second largest domain company in the world, has two sides. One is Ting mobile services. The other is Ting internet services. A veteran of 20 years in the telecom world, Gotto lives in Centennial with his two elementary-aged children and his wife. He notes that, in Centennial, the fiber conduits are now being installed in Willow Creek, filings Numbers 1, 2 and 3, Walnut Hills, and Hunter Hills. The next neighborhoods to get the fiber installations will be based on the number of residents in the neighborhood who have preordered fiber service.
Ting’s directional drill machine is used to dig the holes for installation of Ting’s conduit, which is placed six to eight feet underground.

CCSD sending 41 teams to Destination Imagination State Tournament SUBMITTED BY CHERRY CREEK SCHOOL DISTRICT Strange and amazing creatures roamed the hallways of Grandview High School on March 17. There were the “Crazily Creative Chameleons Craving Candy Corn” from Greenwood Elementary, the “Demonilationating Impozzipmplets” from West Middle School and the “Vertically Challenged Giraffes” from Eaglecrest High School, just to name a few. Those crazy characters were among 600 elementary, middle and high school students from across the Cherry Creek School District, who were participating in the CCSD Regional Destination Imagination Tournament, a celebration of creativity, critical thinking and collaboration. Destination Imagination is an international program that helps prepare children to be the innovators of the future by combining the arts, sciences and technology with creativity, teamwork and problem solving. Teams of two to seven students select a challenge in one of these areas: technical, scientific, engineering, fine arts, improvisation, service learning and early learning. “The teams this year were very innovative in their solutions to the challenges,” said Steph Wilson, the newest of three co-

The Inspire Special Event Grant provides up to $2,000 in funding to a school library looking to engage students with school library resources and promote reading, books, literacy and authors. The funds can be used to create a new or enhance an existing extracurricular activity that will increase student achievement. A total of $10,000 is distributed to schools annually. “This was a great out-ofthe-box idea. Usually, school libraries focus on the main
school courses, but Michelyne was able to bring in health class. The pedal-a-thon is a really great idea to get students focused on their health,” said Elizabeth Simmons, grant committee chair, of the application submitted by the school’s library coordinator, Michelyne Gray. The AASL award winners will be honored at the AASL Awards Ceremony and president’s program during the 2018 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans. The ceremony will be held Saturday, June 23. The Inspire Special Event Grant is made possible by the generosity of AASL member Marina “Marney” Welmers

3 ways to use your lawn to improve curb appeal
Returns on home improvement projects vary. In its annual Cost vs. Value Report, Remodeling magazine notes the projects that yield the best returns on investment in a given year. But a host of factors, including the type of market (buyers’ or sellers’) and the region where the home is being sold, ultimately combine to determine if homeowners’ investments in home improvement projects will provide the returns they were hoping for. Though there’s no way of guaranteeing a home improvement project will yield a great return, real estate professionals often cite improving curb appeal as an excellent way to attract prospective buyers and potentially get the asking price or more when selling the home. Improving curb appeal makes even more sense in today’s real estate
market, when many people do their own searching via real estate websites such as Trulia or Zillow. When
established 1978
using such sites, buyers will likely be less inclined to click on a listing if exterior photos of the property are not eye-catching. Various projects, including tending to lawns and gardens, can improve curb appeal. An added benefit to focusing on landscaping to improve curb appeal is it promotes spending time outdoors in spring and summer. In addition, many lawn- and garden-related home improvement projects need not require professional expertise.
may lead many buyers to assume that the home’s interior was equally ill-cared for. Maintaining lush green lawns is not as difficult as it may seem. Applying fertilizer and aerating at the appropriate times of year (this varies by region) can promote strong roots and healthy soil, making it easier for grass to survive harsh conditions like drought. When watering in summer, do so in early morning or evening so as little water is lost to evaporation as possible.
1. Maintain a lush green lawn.
Even well-maintained lawns can fall victims to brown spots. According to the lawn care professionals at TruGreen, lawns in regions with hot temperatures and high humidity can be infected with brown patch, a common lawn disease that is caused
Lawns that fall into disrepair may not give buyers a correct impression about how homeowners maintained their homes. Lawns with multiple dead spots and grass that appears more brown than green

2. Address brown patch.
by fungus, which can produce circular areas of brown, dead grass surrounded by narrow, dark rings. Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences notes that removing dew that collects on grass leaves each morning, which can be accomplished by mowing or dragging a water hose across affected areas, can be an effective way to reduce brown patch. Homeowners without much lawn care experience can consult professional landscapers to address the issue. But those looking to sell their properties should note that buyers often walk the grounds of homes they are considering buying. So, addressing any issues on the lawn should be a priority for sellers.
3. Confine dogs to certain areas.
Dog owners may want to let their pets roam free in their yards. But homeowners about to put their properties up for sale may want to confine their four-legged friends to certain areas. That’s because dog urine can be high in nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful to lawns, but in high concentrations it can contribute to yellow or brown spots. Also, highly acidic dog urine may even adversely affect pH levels in the soil. Curb appeal can go a long way toward helping homeowners sell their homes, and a lush lawn can be used to catch the eye of prospective buyers.
Fight allergies with a healthy diet Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS). on morning sneezes! What food could be making your allergies worse
With meteorologists forecasting heavy blankets of pollen through April in some parts of the country, local physicians with American Family Care are whipping up a menu to help you fight off allergies this spring. At the core of the menu, food or drinks that produce histamines, the same stuff that is in the spring air that makes your eyes and nose itch and can send you into an allergy fit.
Eat this! A menu that helps allergies:
Be bland. When you notice pollen counts are high, AFC docs recommend you skip spicy foods and eat bland foods instead. This might include extra hot Mexican cuisine like any dish seasoned with fresh jalapeno or serrano peppers, zesty Asian food, like kung pao chicken, even curry blends that are laced with cayenne powder. These spicy flavors can trigger more histamine in your body on top of what you could already breathe in the spring air. Drink green tea. Natural anti-histamines are in green tea. Physicians with AFC explain histamines are chemicals your body releases during allergic reactions. Drinking a morning cup of green tea (hot or cold) should cut back
Find fish. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish, like salmon, trout or tuna, have anti-inflammatory effects, plus Omega-3s boost your immunity. Pick Pineapple. The tropical fruit is packed with vitamins C and B as well as the enzyme Bromelain which can reduce swelling in the nose and sinuses, helping to relieve hay fever symptoms.
Don’t eat this! A menu that aggravates allergies:
Alcohol - A glass of wine or a vodka tonic after dinner could irritate existing allergies. A Danish study found every additional alcoholic drink in a week increased the risk of seasonal allergies by 3 percent. Researchers suspect the bacteria and yeast in the alcohol produce histamines and cause a stuffy nose or itchy eyes. Dairy - Cheese and yogurt are not great to grab for a snack in the spring. Products made from milk can make mucus feel thicker and that could make your throat very uncomfortable if you experience allergy drainage. Tomatoes - Tomatoes are rich in histamines so the spring time favorite is not always best for someone who is highly allergic to pollen. Tomatoes share similar proteins to those found in pollen, so if you eat tomato on high pollen count days, the tomato proteins cross-react with pollen and could cause what is known as
This syndrome is a contact allergic reaction in the mouth and throat with raw fruits and vegetables. Bottom line: If grass pollen gives you a scratchy throat, take fresh tomatoes off the menu. Sugar - Yep; candy, pies, cakes, chocolate - you name it. No matter which snack is your favorite, sugar is not the best choice during allergy season. AFC physicians say a spike in blood sugar triggers an insulin response and that can lead to congestion. AFC doctors stress no matter what you have on your menu this spring, if you are experiencing allergy symptoms for more than a few days, you should get checked out by a physician. “It’s always best to be examined by a doc so you know exactly what kind of condition you are dealing with because a battle with seasonal allergies can last as long as there is exposure,” says Dr. Jeremy Allen, regional medical director of AFC, with local clinics in our area. “People with allergies are more likely to suffer from sinus problems because their nasal and sinus tissues swell as they breathe dust, pollen or smoke. The average wait time to see a specialist is 20 days. When an allergy attack hits, people want relief right away. That’s why urgent cares like ours are open seven days a week as the go-to solution for allergy care.”

CSU-Global comes of age—now a full-service option for Colorado students BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER
Sometimes things work out in just the right way. The history of CSU-Global, headquartered in Greenwood Village, is one of those stories. Launched in 2007 as the nation’s first nonprofit fully online state university (it is part of the of the Colorado State University system), its first class had 200 students. Today, it offers both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in career-oriented fields from business to education to health services and law enforcement. With 18,000 students currently enrolled, CSU-Global is fully accredited and has already awarded degrees to 10,000 students. A model of transparency, CSU-Global lists each of its over 400 instructors on its
website, along with their educational credentials. Initially envisioned as an institution whose mission was to serve working adults who had not completed their bachelor’s degrees or were seeking master’s degrees, Andrew Dixon, Director of Marketing, told local business and government leaders at a South Metro Denver Chamber program March 9, that the average age of CSUGlobal students is 35. He also emphasized CSU-Global’s close connection with the local business community, making certain its course offerings lead to real jobs. Having proved itself successful at serving older-student niche group, the university was approved to accept first-time freshman students in 2014, but
the legislature limited that acceptance to out-of-state freshmen. Online education, once presumed to be inferior to learning in a traditional classroom setting, has become acceptable and even preferable for many students, due to its flexibility and significantly lower cost. At $350 per credit hour, with no ancillary fees, CSU-Global compares favorably with its more traditional counterparts. CU-Boulder costs nearly $30,000 a year, all in. CSU-Fort Collins comes in at $24,000, and even Metro State University downtown isn’t much less expensive for students who don’t live at home with their parents. Recognizing current realities, a group of four members
of the Colorado legislature, comprised of a Democrat and a Republican from the statehouse and state senate, respectively, jointly sponsored Senate Bill 18-101, which was passed and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper March 22. It removes the restriction that prevented CSU-Global from accepting first-time in-state col-
lege freshmen. Providing this option to Colorado high school graduate students and their parents opens a new avenue and a new option—a low-cost, accredited college education from a nonprofit, recognized major state university in our own backyard that can be completed on a schedule that works best for the individual student.

The Makks are coming. The Makks are coming. “First Family” of artists will be back in town for Cancer League’s Hope Ball Eva, of Hungarian heritage was born in Ethiopia. Americo was born in Hungary. Soulmates Eva and Americo Makk met in a hall in Rome. At first glance, Americo declared he would marry her. But, always the gentleman, it took him seven months to ask for a date. Americo passed away in 2015, but before that the couple and the family shared art journeys and projects around the globe. The couple was always artists with no other profession. Their favorite subject matter: the whole world. Murals they have painted have become tourist attractions. Included in their ventures are the 13 years they were in Brazil creating amazing feats such as painting the curved ceiling in a cathedral that took two years of both Americo and Eva working on the scene. One can only imagine the challenge of scaffolding that high while linking Heaven with earth and the church as was their philosophy. Finally, they came to the New York in 1962, with no English speaking skills, four suitcases, and very little cash and began painting right away in churches and galleries. “I knew I was home when I set foot on American soil,” said Eva. For health reasons, they wanted a warmer climate and bought a home in Hawaii in 1967. Over the years, they have been commissioned to create portraits of Hollywood stars and singers and other famous people. Americo’s portrait of President Ronald Reagan was presented in the Oval Office and chosen to be in the Reagan Presidential Museum of American Treasures. Their subject matter ranges from portraits to westerns to floral and nature and much more.

The Makk studio/office is on the third floor of their home in Hawaii and they have ties to other residents there who also have homes in the Denver area. In 2011, while Eva was hosted by and painting a portrait of Cherry Hills Villagers Dr. Richard and Linda Kelley, Edie Marks dropped by. Ever since, the Cancer League of Colorado has been a match with attendees at the major fundraiser having access to museum quality art for a wonderful cause. Even the pastor of Aurora’s Queen of Peace Catholic Church commissioned the Makks after finding out about them in Lahaina. Denver has been Makketized in the best way. The Makks are coming back for Cancer League of Colorado’s Hope Ball on the evening of Saturday, May 12, at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center. They are donating another fabulous work of art around the gala theme “All that Jazz” measuring approximately 30” X 24” and valued at approximately $30,000. “We are in Denver because of Edie Marks,” said Eva. “So many give from the bottom of their hearts, so we, too give from our hearts. America is the most innocent and giving country in the world and I want to give as much as I can while I am still alive.” As a family – the Makks painted “Trilogy” their first work together. A.B. studied under his parents primarily, enjoyed his first news clipping at age 4 and favors the palette knife. Not surprisingly, his wife, Sylvia is also an artist – modern.

Rotary Club of Denver Southeast supports the students of the Florence Crittenton School BY SCOT FULLER The Rotary Club of Denver Southeast believes heavily in its mission of “Service Above Self.” The club partners locally and internationally with organizations to help make the world a better place. Once again, the Rotary Club of Denver Southeast is partnering with the Florence Crittenton School to help provide services for its students. Florence Crittenton Services is a nonprofit that educates, prepares, and empowers teen mothers and their children to become productive members of the community. They have been serving Metro Denver since 1893. Their program offers 9-12 grade academics and after school tutoring as well as care and education for children (ages six-weeks to Pre-K) of these teen moms. Besides the education and child care, there is also a Baby Bucks Store where the
teen moms shop, using high school attendance awards, for basic needs for babies as well as the teen moms. Since November 2016, the Rotary Club of Denver Southeast has been helping the Florence Crittenton School reach its mission. Back then, the club did its first diaper drive for the school, collecting over 3,000 diapers, and donating grocery gift cards to the young mothers over the Thanksgiving break. Since then, the school has been a mainstay for volunteer opportunities for the club. Whether it be diaper drives, gift cards, sorting clothes for the school’s Baby Bucks store, or helping with childcare while these students are in school, the Rotary Club has helped to provide service through multiple avenues. This year, the Rotary Club will be helping to put on the school’s Senior Prom.
The Florence Crittenton School welcomes volunteers to the school every day to support the services for teen moms and their children. Volunteers need to be at least 18 years of age, complete a VolunteerHub profile, and be able to regularly lift 10 pounds or more. To learn more about what the school does to improve the lives of these young people through their Executive Director, Suzanne Banning at sbanning@flocritco. org. The Rotary Club of Denver Southeast meets every Thursday morning at the Cherry Hills Country Club. Anyone interested in learning more about what Rotary International does in the Denver Community, or would like to get involved, please reach out to Membership Chairman Hilton Martin at HiltonMartin @yahoo.com.
Phyllis and Dr. Gary VanderArk with CNI Executive Director Tami Lack Crawford
Colorado Neurological Institute celebrates 30 years In 1988, a young neurosurgeon, Dr. Gary VanderArk, and several of his colleagues at Swedish Medical Center joined with physicians at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital and Spalding Rehabilitation Center to start a new enterprise, “Colorado Neurological Institute.” Neuro specialists interested in working in a non-academic, non-university model have been drawn to CNI for 30 years, by the opportunity to engage in research outside the walls of an academic setting. Alongside VanderArk, these specialists achieved Centers of Excellence designation for CNI in several disease areas, and shown a spotlight on the Swedish community as a neurological hub. These dedicated professionals also implemented the state stroke registry, and birthed the stroke telemedicine network
in Colorado. VanderArk and fellow CNI founding physicians and administrators will be honored April 21 at CNI’s 30th anniversary celebration, “Spotlight on Hope: Illuminating our Past, Present & Future.” Health care has changed since 1988, and CNI has also transformed, expanding services and implementing new methods of providing patient-centered treatment for those living with neurological disorders. CNI provides comprehensive neurologically-based rehab, counseling, supportive services and health and wellness programs for people living with stroke, MS, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, ALS, dystonia, brain tumors, hearing disorders and other neuro conditions. CNI is now a stand-alone, communitybased nonprofit entity located in Englewood. Research of-
fices are located on the campuses of St. Joseph’s Hospital and Swedish Medical Center, where innovative research is taking place with more than 40 clinical trials currently ongoing in the areas of migraine, brain tumor, MS, epilepsy, ALS and cochlear implants. “It’s a new day at CNI,” VanderArk observed from his position as a member of the CNI board of directors. “It’s obviously not the institute model we originally envisioned. However, there are exciting things happening, and CNI continues to be an invaluable resource for neuro patients. I’m glad to see us branching out into the community and touching lives in such meaningful ways.” The future looks bright for CNI. The new headquarters near Hampden Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, contain 10,000 square feet of gym

Denver Zoo is thrilled to welcome a new member to our clan of critically endangered Sumatran orangutans—a newborn female named Cerah (Che-rah), which means “bright” in Indonesian and is often used to refer to sunshine. Born to mom, Nias (Nee-uhs), and dad, Berani (buhr-AHnee), Cerah arrived through a natural and uneventful birth March 25, and keepers report both mom and baby are in good health. They are currently behind the scenes to give them time to rest and bond, and allow our staff a chance to ensure Cerah is receiving proper care and nourishment from Nias. Nias, who is 29 years space, two classrooms, multiple therapy rooms and administrative offices. CNI recently received a $50,000 grant from the Daniels Fund to expand the gym with state-of-the-art, specialized rehab equipment. CNI is on the threshold of expanding even further. “There is a push across the U.S. to make neuro health as important and as well understood as cardio care has been,” says Tami Lack Crawford, executive director of CNI. “Increased heart health awareness has increased our life span. We want to increase brain health awareness, and maximize quality of life for as long as possible” To initiate a national campaign on brain awareness, Colorado Neurological Institute has

CNI remains a nonprofit, and that means large-scale funding is always needed to provide direct patient care, research, rehab, social work, and a wide variety of patientcentered services.

Toyota 4Runner is made to work Colorado Supreme Court
Chief Justice Rice to retire
BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST
The Toyota 4Runner 4x4 is a masculine muscle type of SUV. Solid as a rock, sturdy and steady with power assisted rack and pinion steering and kinetic dynamic suspension system (KDSS) provides for excellent road control. The vehicle is larger and made for work and play with a large cargo space and folddown rear seats with electrical outlets for camping equipment or electrical equipment. The class 4Runner has been a steady performer for decades and many are still in service with a long-lasting design. The 2019 model has “Barcelona Red” metallic paint and rides on 17-inch wheels. I found the 270-V6 engine, producing 270 horsepower a little under powered for the size of the vehicle. Performance with the variable five-speed transmission seemed a little sluggish and also produced relatively poor fuel economy of 17 mpg in the city and 20 on the freeways, averaging 18 mpg. The 4Runner is manufactured totally in Tahara, Aicia, Japan at sea level and the lack of power may be a result of the mile-high altitude. Regardless, if a larger engine or supercharger is available, it would be a wise option.
Nominating Commission sets date to select nominees
It is only fair to relate that the 4Runner is more of a truck on a larger frame and made to work with low and high gear ratios that include crawl-gear ratios to plow thru snow or mud. This is an all-weather, allterrain vehicle that works better in country living rather than city commuting. The vehicle has good high center clearance. Driving the 4Runner, one feels a sense of safety and security. Not yet safety rated, this vehicle has all of Toyota’s safety features included in the Star Safety System. One of the best new features is the Smart Stop Safety system that prevents striking a forward object. Among the safety items are four-wheel front and rear ventilated disk brakes, especially good if pulling a boat or trailer. The sound system was
especially good and easy dial controls to select all radio modes. The heating and cooling system worked well but was completely controlled by dials to set fan, heat or cooling with seemingly no visible automatic control to maintain a constant temperature. The 4Runner could use a little upgrading in technology, still using a key in the ignition that has almost become extinct. The rear trunk lid has no power control and is heavy to lift and close, covered with road dust and grime, another surprise. This is a well-built, no doubt long lasting, sturdy, rugged four-wheel drive that is what it is, more for work and outdoor usage for work and play. The suggested list price is $39, 495 that compares well with other high-end larger SUVs.
The Colorado Supreme Court Nominating Commission will meet May 14 and 15, to interview candidates and select nominees for appointment by the governor to the Colorado Supreme Court. The vacancy will be created by the retirement of Chief Justice Nancy E. Rice, effective July 1. To be eligible for appointment to fill the vacancy, the applicant must be a qualified elector of the State of Colorado and must have been admitted to the practice of law in Colorado for five years. The initial term of office of a Supreme Court justice is a provisional term of two years; thereafter, the incumbent justice, if retained by the voters, has a term of 10 years. Application forms are available from the office of the ex officio chair of the
nominating commission, Chief Justice Nancy E. Rice, or from the Supreme court clerk, Cheryl Stevens, 2 E. 14th Ave., Denver, CO 80203. Applications also are available on the court’s home page at: courts.state.co.us/Careers/ Judge.cfm. The members of the nominating commission for the Supreme Court Nominating Commission are: Kathleen Lord and Daniel Ramos, 1st Congressional District; Shannon Stevenson and Kimberley Jordan, 2nd Congressional District; Robert Scott and Sean Murphy, 3rd Congressional District; Tracee Bentley and R. Stanton Dodge, 4thCongressional District; Jay Patel and Jeanne Smith, 5th Congressional District; James Carpenter and Michael Burg, 6th Congressional District; Carolyn Fairless and Heather Lipp, 7th Congressional District; and Connie McArthur, at-large.

James Garner BY LUCIE M. WINBORNE ReMIND MAGAZINE
This tall, handsome, quarterCherokee high-school dropout stumbled into acting. James Scott Bumgarner, better known to fans as James Garner, was born April 7, 1928, in Norman, Okla. His early years were marked by abandonment, as his mother, Mildred Bumgarner, died when he was just 5 and his father, Weldon “Bill” Bumgarner, left his sons to the care of relatives until his remarriage a year later. Bill’s second wife was physically and verbally abusive to her stepsons, and the couple eventually divorced, with Bill again leaving his sons behind.

In 1944 young James concealed his age to enter the Merchant Marine, but upon discovering he suffered from seasickness, he packed his bags for Los Angeles to live with his dad while briefly attending Hollywood High School. Unsurprisingly, modeling Jantzen swimsuits proved more enticing than classwork, since at $25 per hour Garner earned more than his teachers. His modeling, however, was interrupted when in 1950 he became the first Oklahoman to be drafted into the U.S. Army for the Korean War, resulting in two battlefield injuries, as well as two Purple Hearts. Readjusting to civilian life in

L.A. proved challenging until a former co-worker turned theatrical producer offered Garner a role in a Broadway production of The Caine Mutiny CourtMartial, starring Henry Fonda. The men became friends, and Garner later described Fonda as his greatest acting teacher. Film roles followed, but Garner’s real break came in the persona of poker-playing antihero Bret Maverick in the TV Western Maverick. He returned to the silver screen in The Great Escape, The Americanization of Emily and Grand Prix before winning new fans as private eye Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files, which, like Maverick, gently parodied its own genre. He further charmed audiences with truth. In the cartoon’s boldly poignant March 18 episode—set solely in a therapy session—the foppish tot finally told his shrink (voiced by Ian McKellen) that he was, yep, faking his British accent. Wait, what did you think we were talking about? Jeers to Archie Andrews (KJ Apa, pictured) for making us see red. No amount of shirtless workouts (and there have been many!) can tone down our rage at seeing Riverdale’s ginger god be more of a son to mobster Hiram Lodge (Mark Consuelos) than to his own dad (Luke Perry). That man took a bullet for you, kid! Jeers to RuPaul’s Drag Race for giving the final vote to the exiled queens. Sure, Trixie Mattel was magical, but we all know Shangela deserved to win the All-Stars crown. So let’s hope Ru rues the day shelet the ex-contestants have a say and goes back to ruling her own show.
