Chief in waiting? GV Metro Public Safety Event draws fans of all ages

Jack Joswick, the nephew of GV police officer Sarah Joswick, arrived in his police uniform for the Metro Public Safety Event held in the GV City Hall parking lot May 19. For more on the event see page 26.

Preparing to vote in the June primary — everyone can participate Proposition 108 was an initiated state statute to allow unaffiliated electors to vote in the primary election of a major political party without registering with that party. It passed on Nov. 8, 2016, 53 percent to 47 percent, with 2.6 million total votes cast statewide. This system is called a semi-closed, or hybrid primary. Coloradans can register to vote, check their voting status, affiliate or unaffiliate with po-

litical parties, or change their party registration instantly by logging on to govotecolorado. com. May 29 is the last day for voters who are registered with a political party to change or withdraw their affiliation if they wish to vote in a different party’s primary. Mail ballots will be sent out between June 4 and June 8. Registered voters who are declared Democrats or Republicans will receive their party’s primary ballot only. Those who have not expressed a preference for either major party by

May 29 will receive both the Democratic and Republican primary ballots. Voters should return only one of the ballots. If both ballots are cast, neither will count. New voters can still receive a mail ballot if they register by June 18, which is also the date by which in-person voting locations will be open and available. Colorado requires voters to show a valid ID when they appear to vote in person. Ballots can be mailed or delivered, without postage, to designated drop-off locations. They must

be received by 7 p.m. on June 26. There are 25 different locations listed on county clerk Matt Crane’s arapahoevotes. com website that is available 24 hours a day. Locations for dropping off ballots in other areas can be found on local county clerks’ websites statewide. For statewide offices, both the Republicans and Democrats have primaries for governor and treasurer. The Democrats also have a primary in the state attorney general race and U.S. congressional districts one and six. All other statewide and

national offices that will be decided by voters in Arapahoe County in November have only one candidate from each of the major parties. Running for governor in the Republican primary are former Parker mayor Greg Lopez (lopezforgovernor.com), former state representative Victor Mitchell (vic4gov.com), businessman Doug Robinson (dougforcolorado.com), and state treasurer Walker Stapleton (stapletonforcolorado.com).

Reaping what we have sown: violence is the way of life in America

Mort, Mort, Mort, you are an M-1 rifletoting World War II combat veteran. So, from conversations with you, I believe that you are going to make a plea this week for school teachers packing guns into schools and classrooms. Not having read your column yet, I’m sure you make a strong argument for teacher’s packing “heat.” I respectfully disagree with arming most teachers, in most schools, with guns. It may work in some places, and some schools, not all. The subject will be addressed no doubt by Cherry Creek and Littleton school district boards and the nation. I’m pretty sure that the public is widely split on this subject. My belief is that this teenage violence is systemic and has slowly developed over past decades of violent movies, TV and video games. Our society is showing violence as a means of entertainment. Television is rampant with violence, movies more volatile than ever with more vivid productions of death and destruction. Youths are brainwashed into thinking that killing humans and androids is a part of our social existence. Add to this formula the continuing dismantling of the family model of two parents being married and having a family where dad and mom are home parenting the children. Most families today have both parents working to paying the bills, rent or mortgage with

escalating rises in living costs. Many homes have only one parent struggling to make ends meet on a meager paycheck. Teachers don’t get paid enough, but they are not alone. Many people who have valuable job skills don’t get paid enough because the money just isn’t available. Small business firms struggle to compete with corporate chains, taxation, endless paperwork, and government regulations that can choke free enterprise. There is also a competitive business on every corner. How many business firms are too many? We see what is termed a “progressive movement” to provide free college and universal health care for all. A great concept, but who pays the bill? Our government is already over $21 trillion in debt with this national debt rising by billions every day. The nation is headed toward ultimate bankruptcy that would, and probably will end in a financial collapse of our financial systems. The collapse of Wall Street and banks will wipe out vast amounts of private wealth. There is no way that this nation can continue to tax and spend money that we borrow from China, Japan and treasury bond auctions. A good indicator of any looming crisis will first appear in inflation. Home prices are rising rapidly and stock prices soaring to record heights with high PE’s and diminishing dividends and profits. An economy that is living on smoke and mirrors and a gullible public feeding on social media and government printing inflated currency.

This hopefully won’t happen tomorrow, but a financial time bomb is ticking. While we can be hopeful that strong leadership in Washington D.C. can right some wrongs, Congress gives us all little confidence about long-term success. The nation is deeply divided on many issues. Top that off with a rise in gender disparity and a rise in racial discrimination issues, especially in law enforcement dealing with minorities. Now we have the violence building in school shootings that will continue no matter how many guns teachers carry to school. Money spent on school security takes away hard-pressed funding for classrooms and teachers. Violence can be carried out anywhere that people and students gather like athletic events, schoolyards, school buses, baseball and football games. We can load up the school buildings with metal detectors and guards, but what about all the public venues. Shooters will find a way and new sites for their deranged slaughter. Note the deaths from using cars, truck and vans to hit innocent pedestrians, and suicide bombers hitting restaurants and public places. Take a lesson from Iraq how terrorists continue to take a massive amount of lives in public places. There doesn’t seem to be an easy answer, but we have raised a generation of youths on a menu of violence and are now suffering the consequences of our lust for this entertainment. We’re all guilty. We are reaping what we have sown.

Barbwire Bob Ramblin’ around the corral with Bob Sweeney

The clock showed 3:50 a.m. last Saturday morning as I arose to witness the royal wedding of the American girl to a crown prince of England. I wasn’t disappointed. I sat in awe of the stylish hats, the history, the pageantry, the British enthusiasm and support of their monarchy still so powerful and respected in this 21st century. It is hard for many Americans to understand the historic concept of kings and queens, we fought several wars to escape the throne of England.

It is in our genes to respect authority and power and we feel drawn to the mystic of royalty like they have some magical power or supremacy. Maybe they do… and we presented them one of our best, brightest, and beautiful young ladies to be the new “Duchess of Suffex.” *** On the homefront, we said “goodbye” to Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan who was paid the high respect that he earned and deserved for 24 years of public service to Aurora and

Colorado. Another good Irishman who made headlines of leadership in America. He wasn’t a king, but a strong, elected leader. *** Tuesday night I joined a Denver Press Club event featuring Chuck Plunkett, the resigned editor of The Denver Post as a “wake” over The Denver Post. He was a voice of reason and a strong proponent of journalism. While he stated that he rather enjoyed his brief “picketing” activities, he didn’t support any boy-

be alive had she been armed and able to defend herself. So, could a lot of other children and teachers who tragically died that day. We should also remember the Pearl High School shooting when a student killed two classmates and injured seven others at his high school. In that case, an assistant principal, who was armed, intervened and held the shooter at gunpoint until police arrived, and thus prevented more people from being killed. There is only one thing that will stop school shooters, arm our teachers and allow guns to be available to normal people. It is time we do more than just talk. It is time we push for our teachers who desire arms to be allowed to have at least a pistol available to be used against an armed person intent on killing them and their students. No gunman is going to target a school that can defend itself and fights back. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need to take such measures. But until that world happens, we must arm our teachers and school officials to ensure the safety of our children. A school should be a safe haven where our children can learn and grow. In today’s world arming teachers is the only practical solution!

Opinion

May 24, 2018 • THE VILLAGER | PAGE 5

What has happened to simple decency and civility in the White House? There was a cruel and insensitive statement of a White House staffer in criticising Sen. John McCain’s opposition to CIA nominee Gina Haspel’s appointment as director of the CIA. His opposition is because of her personal involvement in the torture of al-Qaida prisoner in a top-secret CIA prison in Southeast Asia. McCain, a former prison-of-war, spent over five years undergoing torture at the hands of his North Vietnamese capturers. McCain has long been a critic of the use of torture by U.S. forces. In a closed-door meeting, White House communication staffer, Kelly Sadler dismissed McCain’s opposition to Haspel appointment as insignificant saying, “It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway.”

McCain, who is dying of brain cancer, has been the target of Trump’s disrespectful behavior since the presidential campaign when he stated that McCain was no war hero because he was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. As a prisoner of war, McCain was tortured by his North Vietnam guards to a point where today he cannot lift his arms above his shoulders. Trump’s attacks on Senator McCain has increased since McCain was the deciding vote to kill Trump’s effort to repeal Obama’s Affordable Care Act. The White House has become a cesspool of vindictive, disrespectful and personal inappropriate comments toward anyone who questions their policies and executive decisions.

To attack McCain, who is on his deathbed, is one of the most callous, disrespectful and insensitive acts toward a public official that I have ever witnessed. McCain has served honorably in his military and Senate career. As chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, his leadership in supporting service members and their families has been exceptional. He has advocated for improvements in the Department of Veterans Affairs by seeking better medical services for our veterans. He has been a strong advocate for the banning the use of torture of prisoners-of-war. I have known Sen. John McCain since my early days as a congressional staffer for Sen. Gary Hart. Commander McCain was the Navy Senate liaison officer. He worked with me and other Senate staffers in responding to official inquiries from the senator

about naval policy and personnel matters. In recent years, before his diagnosis of brain cancer, I have had several opportunities to spend time with him here in Denver and Washington D.C. He remains a dear and devoted friend to Hart and me. McCain’s naval and political career was driven by a sincere commitment to a principled code of honor and service to this nation. He wasn’t afraid to stand up for those principles even if that stand was not supported by members of the Republican Party. A conservative critic of McCain once said, “Politics is so personal for McCain, it’s all a matter of honor and

integrity. That’s the sum total of his polities.” Despite this recent attack on McCain’s character, he will continue to stand up for those principles and speak his mind on these principles until he leaves this earth. The White House and Sadler as of last week have not publicly apologized to her outrageously insensitive and hurtful remarks about McCain’s medical condition and principled stand on torture. The president and his staff must stop the practice of viciously attacking the character of individuals who publicly disagree with their policies and focus their energy to explain the merit of those policies.

CHV City Council members Mike Gallagher, Al Blum, and Katie Brown joined Mayor Pro Tem Earl Hoellen in cutting the ribbon on the new CHV Public Works facility.

Cherry Hills Village cuts the ribbon on its new public works facility A ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open CHV’s new public works facility was held on May19 at the department’s new location at 2101 W. Quincy Avenue in the City of Sheridan. Mayor Pro Tem Earl Hoellen presided, accompanied by city council members Al Blum, Katy Brown and Mike Gallagher. Initial conversations about the need to improve its facilities to better serve its residents began more than a decade ago in Cherry Hills Village. In 2006, the Citizens’ City Center Committee recommended reconstruction of CHV’s city hall, as well as a facility for South Metro Fire Rescue District (SMFR), relocation of the city’s public works de-

partment, and renovation of Meade Park and Alan Hutto Memorial Commons. Nothing concrete happened until 2013, when a new CHV/ SMFR joint safety building was built adjacent to city hall. Two years later city council made the decision to move forward with the other projects. Details were not finalized until January 2017, when CHV borrowed $11.8 million to complete the new city hall, public works facility and the parks project. Of that total, $4.7 million was allocated to the public works facility. It was clear that there was no cost-effective real estate option within CHV for the public works department. More than 30 properties that were reasonably close to CHV were considered, before a CHV resident alerted city offi-

cials that a three-acre property in Sheridan was available and might be a good option. Previously used as an auto salvage yard, the property contained two large garages that could be used as is to store city equipment and vehicles. The property was purchased and Anderson Construction was retained to build the new facility. Completed on time and $500,000 under budget, the project was overseen by city manager Jim Thorsen and public works director Jay Goldie, ably assisted by key CHV staff, including project and right-of-way manager Ralph Mason, parks supervisor Jeff Roberts and streets supervisor John Pehrson. Mayor Laura Christman was in New York attending her daughter’s graduation from Columbia University.

Barbwire Bob Continued from page 4 the past year. This was achieved while reducing staff at the venerable and historic Denver Post, once boasting a news staff of over 500, now down somewhere below 100. This is still a sizable crew and with computer technology, we don’t have the linotypes, film editors and typewriters of yesteryears. There were no real solutions. I recall a statement by Gov. Dick Lamm recently when he stated, “I wouldn’t want The Denver Post” run by a committee.” The best hope for the group was that some group or wealthy individuals would purchase the newspaper and bring ownership back to Denver. The Rocky Mountain News was owned by Scripps/Howard located in Cincinnati, Ohio for many years before yielding to The Denver Post after a hard-hitting newspaper war that lasted for decades. Outside of a handful of locally owned weekly newspapers, all

radio and television stations are owned outside of Colorado. KOA is still in bankruptcy with I-Heart owning over 850 radio stations and $20 billion in debt, no doubt draining funds from the profitable and successful Denver radio station. This is the problem with centralization and amassed ownership of all media outlets. If one media outlet was good, 100 should be better. Bottom line is The Denver Post is still a powerful organization and probably will be around for a long time. Why would they sell? *** On Wednesday I joined Mort and Edie Marks at Il Fornaio for a lunch with departing Cherry Creek Schools Supt. Dr. Harry Bull and newly approved Supt. Dr. Scott Siegfried. The small gathering expressed heartfelt “thanks” to Dr. Bull for his service to Cherry Creek Schools. ***

A large red-tailed hawk visited the Do at the Zoo.

Buz and Sherri Koelbel hosted a “Do At The Zoo” patron party at their Cherry Hills home Thursday night that brought out zoo patrons and well-known Craig Hospital retired CEO Denny O’Malley who is the acting president of the Denver Zoo while they search for a new leader. He was present with several zoo staff and some zoo critters including a python, hawk, and a black rough-necked monitor lizard. Sherri Koelbel is the outgoing president of the Denver Zoo Foundation board of directors. Rob Kaufmann is the newly elected chairman of the zoo’s board of governors. Early in the evening on the backyard patio a large red-tailed hawk came zooming into the yard catching an unsuspecting rabbit

in its talons and retreated to a nearby tree to dine on the catch. All performed in full view of the zoo guests who wondered how Buz and Sherri had arranged such an amazing wild animal feat. Buz claimed responsibility for the hawk and the perfect evening weather. The excellent hors d’oeurves were provided by Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House with manager Scott McKenzie and sales and event manager Johanna Blyth supervising the huge prawn shrimp trays, sandwiches, assorted cheeses and trademark lemon cake. News from McKenzie is that the very popular restaurant will be closing in July for several weeks for a renovation. Tickets on sale now for the Thursday, June 21 event at the zoo with an anticipated 2,000 attendees. Ticket sales information is available at denverzoo.org/ datzvip. *** Friday afternoon I headed to Boulder for a dinner invite from my first cousin, Jason Sweeney, who grew up on a cattle/sheep ranch directly south of the horse drive capital of Maybell. Jason and I both departed the sweat equity hard labor ranch life for CSU where he spent a successful career at Boulder-based IBM. Sandy, his wife, a CU graduate and executive was the excellent

evening chef. Their two daughters have risen in the corporate and sports world with Leslie, a VIP for a California food corporation, and Jenny a professional golfer, married to PGA Tour professional Jonathan Kaye who won last year’s Colorado Open golf tournament. We braved a terrific hailstorm outside of Boulder with road flooding and inch deep hail but arrived for the outdoor steak barbecue that ended up indoors. Sandy had harvested some garden-fresh lettuce before the hailstorm destruction of their garden. We related old-west tales for hours about our youthful ranching experiences that dwelled around rattlesnakes, haying, ranch hardships and living where the west is still described as “wild” by The Denver Post. Before I visit the happy hunting grounds it is my hope to write a book about those early days and what it was like to live a hard, remote, ranch life as a youth. No electricity or running water and an outdoor privy where winter temperatures often reached minus 20 degrees. The nearest telephone was 7 miles away, one batterypowered radio was the only link to the outside world and thank God for the weekly newspaper that arrived by weekly mail delivery. I would someday own that newspaper.

Finding the right formula to fund roads in Colorado — Part two There is one subject upon which all Colorado citizens, particularly in the Denver metro area, and all candidates for statewide office from both parties, agree. Our roads are not keeping up with our population growth. Our public transit system is not doing so, either. In the April 26 issue, The Villager reported on a panel discussion held at the South Metro Denver Chamber located in the Streets of Southglenn, where state legislators, along with political and community leaders tackled this subject head-on, out-

lining their ideas for a solution. In the final hours of the legislative session that just ended, the legislature made a strong commitment to K-12 education and also agreed to budget $495 million for transportation in the coming year. They promised to fund an additional $150 million for transportation in the following year. That is in addition to the $1.9 billion allocated to roads in this year’s budget. None of those amounts come close to covering the $9 billion that the state department of transportation says it needs in the next decade or the additional $11 billion it expects to need in the decade to follow. Despite our robust economy,

this level of investment calls for significant additional capital. One way to get the necessary funds is directly from Colorado residents, via some type of tax increase. Alternatively, the state can borrow the money by issuing bonds, which still must be repaid from taxes or fees paid by residents but is done over a period of years. That also requires paying millions of dollars in interest. Most politicians are not anxious to lead the charge for new or increased taxes. Business-led organizations are more likely to spearhead such an effort. On May 18, the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce

made the decision to lead a coalition that will set about collecting the necessary signatures to ask Colorado voters to approve a 0.62 percent statewide sales tax increase to fund transportation. Just under 99,000 valid signatures of registered voters must be submitted to the secretary of state by Aug. 6 to get the question on the Nov. 6 ballot. Coalition leaders have reported that they have polled Coloradans on the question of paying more sales tax for transportation and received favorable results. One aspect of this plan that is expected to appeal to residents of urban areas is that some of the money raised would

be passed directly to local governments, who could make their own decisions about which road projects to fund. There is also some money reserved for public transportation projects, just as was discussed in the April 18 meeting which was previously reported. The Independence Institute’s Jon Caldera is also moving forward to try to get on the November ballot with his alternate plan, which he calls, “Fix Our Damn Roads.” Caldera’s position is that funds should be allocated to roads only, managed exclusively by the state, and accomplished through borrowing, not raising taxes.

Alzheimer’s Association recognizes outstanding Colorado volunteers There is no way to adequately thank the more than 1,000 Coloradans who volunteer each year to keep the Colorado Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association running smoothly, but

several of them received special recognition recently for their contributions to the organization that was considered above and beyond the usual. “We have so many out-

Cherry Creek School board hears about proposed new charter middle school focused on aerospace At its regular monthly meeting held at Overland High School May 14, district employees and students from multiple Cherry Creek schools thanked outgoing superintendent Dr. Harry Bull for his many years of dedicated service. Overland principal Leon Lundie had two Overland seniors gift Bull with a large collection of colorful socks to wear in his retirement. Board vice president Karen Fisher noted that the 2018-19 state budget put more money into K-12 education than the state has spent in many years. The legislature added $150 million for education, over and above legally mandated increases, for the coming school year. Average annual perpupil spending will be around

$8,137, which is $475 more than the current year. Lawmakers also set aside $30 million for rural school districts in need and $5.5 million for stateauthorized charter schools. The board heard a detailed presentation from the management of its transportation division, responsible for all the school buses in the Cherry Creek School District (CCSD). They reported an excellent year of operations and a 19 percent increase in the number of bus drivers on staff. Though always in need of drivers, the district takes great care in their hiring and training of those responsible for our most precious cargo. Addressing the board was John Barry, CEO of Wings Over the Rockies, who is a retired two-star general and former superintendent of Aurora Public Schools. Barry told board members that Wings

Over the Rockies will soon open its second location at Centennial Airport and is preparing an application to the CCSD for a new charter middle school there that will focus on “project-based learning about aerospace.” He introduced Dawn Evenson, founder and CEO of iLead Schools, and Kim Lyttle, experienced teacher and principal. Both are part of the management team to get the new school up and running, which is designed to look like an airplane hangar. Wings Over the Rockies hopes to partner with the coming Cherry Creek Innovation Campus in coordinating its aerospace curriculum. Barry informed the board that their outreach team has been hard at work and has already identified 75 parents of middleschoolers who are interested in their program.

The Tesoro Cultural Center will include Indian market and Powwow on June 2, as well as artists featuring their work at 1830s Rendezvous & Spanish Colonial Art Market on Sept. 15 and 16

Tesoro Cultural Center announces its 2018 events Indian Market & Powwow and 1830s Rendezvous & market weekends

Tesoro Cultural Center, Colorado’s nonprofit committed to protecting the artistic treasures of the American past and making them available to the community, will reintroduce its two annual events in 2018: Indian Market & Powwow June 2 and 3; and 1830s Rendezvous & Spanish Colonial Art Market on Sept. 15 and 16. Hosted on the grounds of The Fort Restaurant, at 19192 Hwy. 8 in Morrison, Tesoro Cultural Center’s Indian Market & Powwow is a yearly tribute to the American Indian tribes that shaped the cultural community of Old Bent’s Fort, an important fur trading post that operated along the famous Santa Fe Trail in the 1830s. In celebration of early Southwestern history, Tesoro hosts nationally acclaimed artists, dancers and drum groups for an art-centered gathering, juried art show and two-day contest powwow, as well as educational and interactive exhibits on American Indian culture,

for a fun-filled, family weekend. “After scaling back the Indian Market & Powwow last year, I am so excited to see its return this year in an even bigger and better way,” said Holly Arnold Kinney, Tesoro’s executive director. “Our artists are thrilled that it will once again present a two-day competitive and educational opportunity for them. It is Tesoro’s mission to keep these treasures of generational traditions and culture both alive and relevant. The Indian Market & Powwow and the 1830s Rendezvous weekends are opportunities for us to connect modern Colorado to its rich and storied past.” The festivities will kick off with a Tesoro Memberexclusive Meet the Artists party Friday, June 1. The Indian Market & Powwow June 2 and 3 is open to the public; admission is $5 for adults, and free for children 12 and under. Also hosted on the grounds of The Fort, the 1830s Rendezvous & Spanish Colonial Art Market commemorates the historical blending of the American mountain men and Hispanic

communities of Old Bent’s Fort. A day at the 1830s Rendezvous & Market is a day in the Old West. Historical interpreters will demonstrate their wares, including trade silver, moccasins, beaver skin hats and buckskin period dress. They will walk guests through day-to-day skills from the 1830s, such as brain-tanning, primitive fire building, rope braiding, blacksmithing and scrimshaw. Oral history and music were very important to the culture of this era, and will fill the courtyard of The Fort, transporting guests back in time. The event also features a Spanish Colonial Art Market that celebrates Spanish Colonial artists demonstrating and selling retablos, bultos, tinwork, and encrusted straw appliqué throughout the weekend. The 1830s Rendezvous & Market is open to the public; admission is $5 for adults, and free for children 12 and under. More information about these culturally enriching weekend festivals will be available closer to each event date. For more information, call (303) 839-1671 and visit TesoroCulturalCenter.org.

Regency DTC on May 12. The theme, “Dedicated to the Ones We Love,” was accomplished through the beautiful tribute to Sue Miller, 2018 Champion of Hope Award recipient. Sue was a model, author, wife, mother, nurse, political candidate, cancer survivor and Cancer League member. Sue touched many lives.

The secondary theme, “… and ALL THAT JAZZ” was wonderfully represented by an original oil by renowned artist Eva Makk. The painting, donated by Makk, was one of many items presented in the live auction. Hundreds of items were part of the ball’s silent auction, as well as eight live auction items and one raffle item. They ranged from an original dress from local designer Hannah Payne to a puppy, to exquisite earrings and a ring, to a 2018 Ram

Owens is special guest at Republican Toren Mushovic event BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Iraq War veteran, lawyer and health care executive Toren Mushovic is the Republican candidate for state House District 3, which contains just over 51,000 registered voters in Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Englewood, Sheridan and small portions of Littleton, Centennial and unincorporated

Arapahoe County. HD 3 is quite diverse, with the largest group of voters, 37 percent, unaffiliated with any political party. Registered Democrats account for 32 percent of voters, and 29 percent identify as Republicans. Mushovic’s opponent is one-term incumbent Democrat Jeff Bridges. Gov. Bill Owens was a special guest at a fundraiser held at the South Metro Denver Chamber at the Streets of

SouthGlenn May 15 to support Mushovic’s candidacy. The event was enthusiastically hosted by local realtor Dave Schlatter, statehouse assistant minority leader Cole Wist, GV Mayor Ron Rakowsky, Arapahoe County Commissioner Jeff Baker, Arapahoe County Sheriff Dave Walcher, and leaders of business and industry. Arapahoe County Treasurer Sue Sandstrom joined the group of over 60

Mushovic supporters. Owens told the crowd that Colorado needs young leaders like Mushovic and Wist. He said that it takes a special person to commit themselves to public service. Wist told everyone that the Republicans need four seats to regain the majority and that Mushovic is well qualified because he understands business and employs Coloradans. Mushovic graciously

thanked his supporters and told them that he is in this race to ensure that the children have an opportunity to go to good colleges, get good jobs and buy homes in Colorado. He talked about the state’s aging infrastructure that must be addressed. He wants to tackle that, and the unchecked growth that is raising the cost of living, while the transportation system struggles to keep up.

Fiddler’s Green – a landmark venue begins another summer season

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

iddler’s Green Amphitheatre (fiddlersgreenamp.com) at 6350 Greenwood Plaza Blvd in Greenwood Village, has been home to outdoor concerts for 20 years. The Museum of Outdoor Arts, a Madden company, settled into a 15-year agreement with AEG Live in 2014 to operate the venue. Before their first show, AEG began installing what would total $5 million in improvements to the property. Chuck Morris, AEG Live CEO and longtime local concert promoter said, “For years, I thought that Fiddler’s Green was a great venue with huge potential. When the previous contract expired, we sought out the opportunity to make Fiddler’s a great place for

concertgoers, the greater Greenwood Village community, its owners and our company.” GV traffic engineers have designed a highly technical traffic plan in coordination with other nearby jurisdictions and the state to get concertgoers’ cars out of the area quickly and efficiently when concerts end. They call it the “flush cycle.” Using data from AEG about the number of tickets sold, they estimate the number of cars to expect and program the traffic lights in the area to move them out as soon as the show is over. Since concerts at Fiddler’s have a strict curfew of 10:45 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:15 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, traffic engineers and patrol officers know when cars will leave. With the programming of the traffic signals, it takes from

20 to 40 minutes to clear the area after a concert, depending on whether it is a soldout show. GV police commanders Brandon Gipson and Joe Gutgsell oversee operations at Fiddler’s. The department has detailed, practiced strate-

gies to handle everything that can happen during a concert, from patron intoxicationrelated illness to threatening weather and even the possibility of snipers from nearby office buildings, as happened in Las Vegas in 2017. They even have two patrol drones to use if necessary for safety purposes. Officers patrol parking lots during shows to discourage vehicle breakins. Last year, Fiddler’s was successfully evacuated three times due to dangerous weather conditions. In each case, concertgoers were able to return to their seats and the show was resumed, still ending by curfew. Noise complaints, which can be phoned into 303-4868275, are usually related to the level and direction of the wind on concert days. GV police commanders respond to every one that is received. Data is recorded and kept of decibel levels during every show to be sure that sound is kept under the allowed 110 decibels. Gutgsell said that “AEG’s facility improvements included upgrading the

sound system, allowing better control of music output.” Visitors, fans, residents and businesses can receive text messages on their cell phones from the GV Police Department regarding safety alerts, traffic incidents and road closure information on concert days by texting the message FIDDLERS411 to 888777. Though they produce over 800 shows in Colorado annually, AEG’s Morris told us that, “Fiddler’s is a unique venue, better suited for lots of performers than other places. We believe that to be successful, we have to have an excellent relationship with local government and the community. From the beginning, I and AEG co-presidents Brent Fedrizzi and Don Strasburg have worked hand-in-glove with (GV) Mayor Ron Rakowsky, the city council and the police department. The result has been great for us and the local economy as well, with up to 17,000 people attending 20 to 30 concerts every year and patronizing local restaurants, hotels and other businesses.”

Kentwood DTC How do you see your business trending the in next six months? I see my business trending upward in next six months. It has not slowed down in five years! Denver is killing it and it’s the place to be. The only price point that seems to be slowing slightly is above $3 million, most likely due to market conditions and recent interest rate increases. New developments projected for the future?

ABOVE: Artist rendering of West Village view from the street. RIGHT: West Village is on Belleview east of Greenwood Community Church.

New 10-Home development in Greenwood Village may finally be built Greenwood Village hasn’t approved a lot of new development in recent years. A request to rezone a 10-acre parcel of land at 6000 E. Belleview, was approved by GV City Council back on Nov. 2, 2015. There have been two city council elections since then, resulting in nine separate changes of elected representatives. No action has been taken on this property and the Planned Unit Development (PUD) since that preliminary approval two-and-ahalf years ago. On May 15, Tom Hall, a partner in Renaissance Homes of Greenwood Village, LLC, appeared before the city’s planning and zoning commission to present a minor revision to the design of the development. The

amended plan will provide a longer entry road into the area and a shorter road within it, along with a more symmetrical layout of the road and the homes on the property. The noise attenuating berm along Belleview is also expanded in the modified design.

City staff found that the revised road is an improvement and that the renderings demonstrate high quality and appropriate density of the berm when mature. Staff gave the application a positive recommendation. Also appearing on behalf

of the applicant was John Stafford, civil engineer with Harris, Kocher, Smith of Denver. Nine area residents testified before the commission. Three were worried about drainage from the new development. Stafford explained the drainage plan. City staff

confirmed that it met all required standards. A representative of Greenwood Community Church, adjacent to the subject property, testified that the church supports the revised plan, as did Sid Overton of Red Fox Lane. Dieter Kern of East Ida Avenue appeared and told the commission that he is “against high density and setting of precedents.” He also objected to “the tall walls along the property lines,” however there are no walls along the property line. Planning and zoning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend that city council approve the proposed changes to the PUD and preliminary plat for West Village. Council is expected to hear this case June 4. Hall indicated he hoped to get the project started as soon as possible.

How can schools adapt and succeed Dynamic duo: How the father-son team at in the digital era? CU Denver professor aims to inspire innovation Jackson Design Build The world has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, with the American economy evolving from a heavy focus on manufacturing and agriculture to one dominated by digital technology. According to the National Education Association, the U.S. system of education has not kept pace and is failing to prepare students to solve the greatest challenges of the day. Scott McLeod, J.D., Ph.D., associate professor of educational leadership at the University of Colorado Denver, agrees, saying that schools need to adapt—and fast. McLeod has worked with school districts, K-12 schools, colleges and universities around the world to help them assess where they’re falling short in producing future-ready students and make essential adjustments in their school systems. “We live in a global innovation society, but the majority of the schools in the U.S. meet the needs of an industrial society that no longer exists,” he says. On June 15, McLeod will deliver a full-day workshop in Lone Tree at the University of Colorado South Denver, titled, “Our World is Changing. Is Your School Future-Ready?” He will cover the six relevance gaps between schools and society—including information literacy and new forms of learning—as well as the four big shifts that he sees certain “deeper learning” schools making—cognitive complexity, student agency, authentic work and technology infusion. “The first step in making change is recognizing that many schools are comfortable with the status quo model of education,” McLeod says. “It’s what many

Has quietly built a national reputation for excellence

The father-son team at Jackson Design Build has finally received the recognition to match their longstanding commitment to quality craftsmanship. Is the success going to their head? “We’re not the type to rest on our laurels,” said Dave Jackson, founding partner of Jackson Design. “For some, construction is a job. For us, it’s an art. We love what we do.” In 2017, Jackson Design Build was the National Association of Homebuilders’ (NAHB) Remodeler of the Month. The company then received the Homebuilders and Associates in Partnership (HAP) Award for recognized excellence among construction peers in the Home Builders Association of Metro Denver. Jackson’s “New Idea Home”, built as an international model for universal and accessible design, was featured in the 2017 Parade of Homes as well as garnering top honors in the 2017 Colorado Awards for Remodeling Excellence. Rounding off the victories, the New Idea Home earned Jackson a gold medal at the 2018 National Association of Home Builders’ prestigious 55+ Housing Awards in Orlando, Fla. After a year of climactic successes, one might expect the Jacksons to take a breath and enjoy their work, but the two show no signs of slowing down. They’ve already sold out on six row homes in Sloan’s Lake and have two new duplexes in development. “The awards suggest we’re on the right track, but we’re always looking for ways to improve,” said Billy Jackson, partner of Jackson Design Build. Dave and Billy Jackson attribute their custom building and remodeling success to a construction process carefully honed over decades. They’re committed to outstanding customer service, they have a reliable network of trade partners, they offer clients complete transparency throughout the building process, and they

stay informed of the latest trends through participating in industry trade associations. “There’s no mystery in good work,” Dave Jackson said. “Listen to your customers and deliver a quality project, on time and on budget. That’s what we do.” A

of us grew up with, but it is clear that there are big gaps between the skills needed by today’s workforce and the skills students are being taught in school.” Workshop participants will also review the 10 building blocks that leading schools are implementing to design meaningful learning experiences for their students. The goal, McLeod explains, is for school leaders to develop a sense of urgency about the need for change. This CU South Denver workshop will be the first of a six-part series. Future Leadership Academy workshops will delve into the action steps that leaders can take, including the inception of project- and inquiry-based learning, empowering uses of technology and implementing blended learning models. McLeod will teach one workshop a month from October 2018 to March 2019. McLeod joined CU Denver in August 2016. He is the founding director of the Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education, the only academic center in the country dedicated to the technology needs of K-12 school administrators. He spent his prior F

academic career at the University of Kentucky, Iowa State University and the University of Minnesota. McLeod received the 2016 Award for Outstanding Leadership from the International Society for Technology in Education and recently published his latest book, Different Schools for a Different World. “As a faculty member, researcher and consultant, my focus is always transformative school environments,” says McLeod, who has studied hundreds of pioneering schools and leadership practices. “There will always be funding challenges and state standards to work with, but the key is inserting innovative learning methodologies into traditional programs. Schools that are willing to put in the effort can get there and learn from one another to ensure students are building 21st-century competencies.” Our World is Changing. Is Your School Future-Ready? runs 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, June 15 and is open to superintendents, principals, school board members and any other education leaders. Registration is $159 and space is limited. N

Artist’s conception of the Flats at Villa Rosso.

A moment in time: As 29 luxury condo units come out of the ground just west of DTC, the upscale dining is already there Friedman’s project is taking shape near the Belleview light-rail station, as the first floor of The Flats at Villa Rosso has been framed up BY MARK SAMUELSON

Whether you’re waiting for the right moment to say goodbye to your older house in Greenwood Village or you’re

in an apartment in the Denver Tech Center and would like to stop paying rent, veteran builder/developer David Friedman is creating a moment in time for you May 6, as his condo project takes shape near Belleview Station. If you’re that buyer who’s been holding on to your place in Charlou or Greenwood Hills, this is the moment when the first floor of Villa Rosso has framed up just southwest of the sales center — when you could plan an orderly sale of your house, followed by a single move late this year. On the other hand, if you’re

working in the Tech Center and wondering why there aren’t a lot of new, reasonably priced condominiums coming on the market when so many apartments are, this is a rare chance to move on one of those. Over the past year, more than half of the 29 units have already sold, but, remarkably, a couple of the most attainable priced ones are left, including a one-bedroom/bath-plus-study plan at $363,900. It comes with one parking space in Villa Rosso’s heated, underground parking. If you looked over Villa Rosso when pre-sales started,

you’ll be stunned by the walkable dining that has opened over the past year at Belleview Station: Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Ambli, Los Chingones, Backcountry Deli, Sushi-Rama, Urban Egg and Corvus Coffee. Highland Tap & Burger is on the way. What hasn’t changed is the singularity of these for-sale multifamily units, right beside the DTC, when developers have struggled to open new opportunities. “It’s still the only thing like this available in the area,” Friedman said as we met nearby at Starbucks. Buyers, he adds, can still make some design selections now — something they won’t be able to do later on.

Among the 14 still available is a Genoa — 1,429 square feet in a two-bedroom, 2-½ bath layout with a study and a view southeast to the mountains, plus two parking spots (it’s at $657,900). Friedman notes that all of these offer a no-maintenance lifestyle and include large covered balconies, 10-foot ceilings with eight-foot interior doors, and kitchens with solid quartz counters, bar-like islands and stainless appliances including a 30-inch gas range. The development is at 4725 S. Monaco, take Belleview west from I-25 three blocks to Monaco, turn north to Union, then west into the parking. mark@samuelsonassoc.com

LIV Sotheby’s International Realty ranks #1 affiliate in the world As Colorado continues to develop as both a national and global leader in residential real estate, local real estate brand, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, continues to deliver powerful results. Currently, the firm consists of 15 offices in the Denver metro, Boulder, Breckenridge and the Vail Valley. It is ranked the No. 1 top producing Sotheby’s International Realty affiliate in the network of residential brokerage companies, in the world. Not only has the locallyowned brokerage achieved unparalleled coverage for the properties it represents, but the firm’s market share within the luxury sector in Colorado continues to grow. “2017 saw a surge in demand for luxury, residential real estate of $1 million, and we expect 2018 to follow suit,” said Scott Webber, president of LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “Downtown Denver, as well as the resort communities in Colorado, have set new pricing records in the luxury residential real estate market as more buyers continue to see Colorado as an excellent place to invest. That opportunity, combined with the many lifestyle opportunities living in the state affords, is a direct correlation to the success of our firm, both locally and globally.” Building on the centurieslong reputation of the preeminent Sotheby’s Auction House, the Sotheby’s International Realty (SIR) brand is recognized globally for a legacy of quality service and expertise that is unmatched. A unique alliance with Sotheby’s Auction House is what differentiates Sotheby’s Internation-

al Realty from all other residential real estate firms. Properties within the SIR network are exclusively featured in Sotheby’s auction programs, including high-profile client events, along with showcases in signature publications and on Sothebys.com. Locally in Colorado, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty leverages the powerful media partnerships established by the Sotheby’s International Realty brand, to achieve unparalleled results for the clients it serves. LIV Sotheby’s International Realty brokered the sale of 107 Rockledge Road, an 11,509-square foot ski-in, ski-out residence, once owned by Denver socialites, Vernon ‘Moose’ Taylor and his wife Ann Bonfoey Taylor, known for putting Vail on the map as the iconic, world-renowned Colorado resort town it is today. The sale set the record high for a single-family home in the Vail Valley, at $23 million. Following that sale, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty was asked to represent West Creek Ranch, the extraordinary land and estate property owned by John Hendricks, founder of the Discovery Channel, that is currently listed for $149 million the fourth highest priced Sotheby’s International Realty listing in the world. And while LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is no stranger to representing luxury listings of the highest degree, part of the brokerage’s success is that it offers clients milliondollar marketing at every price point. Recently sold (at a much more modest price point compared to the aforementioned), 965 S. Race Street, is an artful,

Washington Park residence that was awarded the coveted Architect’s Choice Award for its visionary design. By strategically highlighting this unique design angle, the extraordinary press was achieved for this listing, though the home was not marketed at an ultra-luxury price point. In regard to the firm achieving unparalleled market-share locally, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty is credited for achieving the top sales in Denver metro in both 2016 and 2017, in addition to the highest sales in Cherry Creek, in 2016 and 2017, consecutively; 575 Circle Drive, at $6.5 million and 333 Milwaukee, at $7 million. The firm also earned the top sale in Colorado Springs, a luxury residence at the Broadmoor, for $4.8 million. “Since its founding in 2008, the firm has recently achieved some of its most significant accolades to date,” said Katie Williams, executive vice president, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty. “We are proud that our firm, which has the highest support staff to broker ratio in the industry, continues to earn success in achieving the record-breaking market share in all the areas we serve, and we anticipate even greater results in 2018.” For more information, please contact Williams at 303-881-8400. To list your home for sale with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty, please visit livsothebysrealty. com or call 303-893-3200.

10-year-old Maya crowned prom queen at wish prom: under the sea Young professionals group raises $19,000 for Make-A-Wish Colorado

With prom season in full swing, photos of beautifully dressed teenagers stepping out of limos or hamming it up on the dance floor are a familiar sight. However, seeing a 10-year-old crowned as Prom Queen and her dad bestowed with the title of Prom King is a rarity. Prom Queen Maya and her extended family were the guests of honor at the second annual Wish Prom April 27. Held at the Glenmoor Country Club, the prom was hosted by the Young Professionals Group of Make-AWish Colorado. More than 150 guests attended the recent Wish Prom. They enjoyed cocktails, dinner, a silent auction and dancing to live music provided by Moment’s Notice. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Prom Court, which included Maya’s

mother, stepmother, sister and stepfather in addition to Maya and her father. In keeping with the Under the Sea theme, the prom queen was awarded a Nemo stuffed animal along with her sash and crown. Maya, who recently underwent a bone marrow trans-

plant, also learned that her wish to go to Aulani Disney Resort in Hawaii was about to come true. Wish Prom: Under the Sea raised nearly $19,000 for Make-A-Wish Colorado. Drew Callahan, chair of the Young Professionals Group, was pleased with the turnout at the prom, stating, “We had twice as many people attend this year’s prom than last year and raised a significant amount of money to provide wishes to children diagnosed with critical illnesses.” He continued, “It’s truly inspiring to see the joy that lights up a child’s face when his or her wish is revealed.” The Young Professionals Group is comprised

The crisis within us: drugs in our communities

Could part of the drug problem have originated in the health care system? Most of the presentations and statistics presented to Cherry Creek Republican Women (CCRW) were about marijuana, sometimes called the gateway drug, but there was plenty of other interesting information shared about the increasing epidemic of illegal and prescribed drugs and how we can prevent becoming another Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The four speakers included Dr. Jesse Hinckley, a third-year resident in the general psychiatry residency at the University of Colorado where he earned both his M.D. and Ph.D. He will join the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at Children’s Hospital Colorado in July. Following that fellowship, he plans to complete an Addiction fellowship making him one of approximately 100-150 triple board-certified adolescent psychiatrists in the U.S. and second in Colorado. According to Hinckley, it takes four weeks to wash marijuana out of the system. Of kids treated for substance abuse, cannabis is No. 1 followed by alcoholism. Especially for young men, marijuana is more popular than cigarettes and has unintentional exposure – to dogs, for instance. And, it messes with the brain. Many take someone else’s medical marijuana. There is no evidence to support that it helps with mental illness and some who move here to obtain it wind up in psych hospitals.

“We are at the very beginning of studies. It took decades of alcohol and tobacco research to know what they did to the body,” he said. Opioid addition is also an epidemic. When deaths were from more well-known in the community and not just the underserved, it was noticed and the death rate surpassed Aids. The economic

cost was a staggering $78.5 billion. Arapahoe County Coroner Dr. Kelly Lear is a forensic pathologist with significant training and experience in medicolegal autopsies and death investigations. Currently her workload is that of two people. There are 500 forensic pathologists nationwide and 700 are needed. Nationally,

drug abuse deaths peaked in 2016 with 65,000 while motor vehicle deaths were 54,000. Deaths from breast cancer were 40,000. Arapahoe County drug abuse deaths peaked in 2009. The county is also seeing an increase of heroin use because, sadly, it is cheaper than prescription drugs. Both Hinckley and law enforcement

felt there should be more access to NARCAN, a lifesaving medicine that can reduce the effect of an opioid overdose. Lt. Steve Rolen stated that the opioid crisis is not necessarily pill related. No. 1 is meth, No. 2 is cocaine and No. 3 is heroin. The enforcement efforts in Arapahoe County are led by a team of 10. He was an RN before law enforcement, and feels part of the situation might have begun in health care – what is your pain level is asked frequently and addressed with meds. Anything to alleviate pain. What about alternatives like moving the body or proper nutrition? (I recently heard a radio interview stating a little pain is good – shows you are alive.) Deputy Melissa Williams coordinates the crisis intervention team. She finds many patients don’t like side effects and self medicate while some intentionally overdose and reports there are six to 10 NARCAN distributions per year. She also works with first responders. “We forget we have feelings about things,” she said. Some responders get injured and become addicted, too.

The cool, damp weather made for smaller-than-usual crowds at Greenwood Village’s annual Metro Public Safety Event held in the GV City Hall parking lot May 19. For those who came out, there was a sizable collection of diverse vehicles, along with personnel from area law enforcement and emergency service organizations. Douglas County had their special SWAT command vehicle on display. Arapahoe County had their bomb squad and search and rescue vehicles open for visitors. They also brought members of their canine crew, with handlers, of course. Even the U.S. Army and Coast Guard Auxiliary participated, in addition to Greenwood Village police officers with everything from motorcycles to drones for visitors to see up close. South Metro Fire and Rescue brought four different vehicles to show residents, including a tower truck from Station 32, which is currently being rebuilt from the ground up in Centennial, directly across Quebec Street from GV City Hall. A tower truck has a 100-foot hydraulic aerial ladder with a bucket at the top to hold firefighters if necessary to do fire suppression or rescue operations.

Denver Botanic Gardens breaks ground on Freyer Newman Center Science, art and education under one roof Denver Botanic Gardens broke ground May 14 on the Freyer - Newman Center, the final part of a four-phase Master Development Plan that began in 2007. The LEED GOLD building, designed by Denver’s Davis Partnership Architects, will provide more accessible and enriching public engagement with an auditorium, four art galleries, a new library, six classrooms, a coffee shop and 144 more parking spots. Important plant science research and conservation efforts will grow with more advanced laboratories and larger herbaria for vascular plants, mushrooms and slime molds. The $42 million project – $37.5 million for the Freyer - Newman Center and $4.5 million for the renovation of the Boettcher Memorial Center – is slated for completion in late 2019. “As one of the first 2017 General Obligation Bond (GOB)-supported projects to break ground, the Freyer - Newman Center is an outstanding example of how these community approved investments can move a project to

Arapahoe Philharmonic announces composition competition The Arapahoe Philharmonic, in support of its ongoing mission to recognize young talent in the classical music field, will be accepting applications for its 2018 Vincent C. LaGuardia, Jr. Composition Competition during the month of June. This competition is for student composers under the age of 35 and enrolled in a US-based educational institution, and who are not yet regularly employed in the composition field. The winner will be named Composer-inResidence with the Arapahoe Philharmonic for two seasons (2018–2019 and 2019–2020). The orchestra will perform the competition-winning composition during its May 2019 concert and will commission a new orchestral work to be

performed on a Masterworks concert during the 2019–2020 concert season. The application process and entry guidelines are outlined on the Arapahoe Philharmonic’s website at arapahoe-phil.org/competitions/ composition-competition/. All applications must be submitted online. Submissions will be accepted beginning June 1, through 11:59 p.m. June 30. Three finalists’ works will be selected to advance to the final round consisting of an open rehearsal/reading of the works Tuesday, Aug. 14, at 7:30 p.m. (Venue information will be available on our website in July.) The reading will be open to the public and those in attendance will be invited to vote for their favorite composition. Audi-

ence member results will be considered alongside results from the competition judges and orchestra members. The 80-member Arapahoe Philharmonic has been a valuable cultural asset in the Denver metropolitan area for 65 years. In addition to its regular season of six masterworks concerts, the orchestra offers many services to the community, including concerts for elementary school students, coaching students from area middle schools and high schools, a side-by-side Play-In for high school and community musicians, the T. Gordon Parks Concerto Competition, and the Vincent C. LaGuardia, Jr. Conducting Competition, which alternates annually with this Composition Competition.

with this stellar project. Deep appreciation goes to Denver voters for their support of the 2017 GOB and to all of the donors, designers, builders, neighbors, staff and volunteers who are taking us to the finish line.” The Freyer - Newman Center will enhance the fabric of the Cheesman Park neighborhood and the York St.-facing coffee shop will provide a community gathering place. Pieces of the gardens’ founding days will live and grow outside the building by way of a cutting from a Juniperus virginiana ‘Carnaertii’ tree that was planted by the gardens at the original location alongside Denver Museum of Nature and Science. In November 2017 voters approved $18 million in funding for the project through the city’s $937 million GOB initiative and $24 million came from

private gifts. In recognition of lead gifts from Ginny and John Freyer and Robert and Judi Newman, the building will be named the Freyer Newman Center. Speakers at the event: Dick Clark, board chair; Brian Vogt, Denver Botanic Gardens CEO; Bob and Judi Newman, naming donors; John and Ginny Freyer, naming donors; Brendan Hanlon, CFO, Deputy Mayor, City and County of Denver; Happy Haynes, Parks and Recreation executive director; Wayne New, Councilman, District 10; David Daniel, Davis Partnership Architects; Roger Treichler, GH Phipps Construction; Allyson Mendenhall, mayoral trustee to the Gardens board; Jandel AllenDavis, past board chair; Jerry Ladd, past board chair and Jennifer Ramp-Neale, Denver Botanic Gardens director of research and conservation.

He came to Colorado to study at the University of Denver, where he earned a B.A. in accounting and an MBA in finance and economics. It was there that he met his life partner, Anna Lee Ames Nowell.

His careful work, that he loved so much, was as an investment adviser with Smith Barney, A.G. Edwards, Wachovia and Wells Fargo Advisors. For Mark, the most rewarding part of his work was building deep and lasting relationships with his clients. He will be remembered as a man of great integrity, warmth, and dignity and as someone who took great pleasure in caring for others. Mark participated in a wide variety of civic, educational, and recreational activities as a member, board member, or finance committee chairman for many organizations including: University of Denver Alumni Association, Colorado School of Banking (instructor), Girl Scouts Mile High Council, Mile High United Way, Bear Creek Water and Sanitation District, American BUDO College (martial arts), Rocky Mountain Ragtime Festival and Ragtime Society of Colorado.

2018 Tacoma truck fits Colorado lifestyle BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST

The Gx460 is a luxury vehicle that has a retail cost of $63,230.

2018 Lexus GX460 is riding on the clouds BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST

It is challenging for automakers to design vehicles that excel with both performance and comfort, but Lexus does both with the 2018 GX460 luxury model. Made in Aichi, Japan this all-wheel-drive SUV lives up to the Lexus mission statement, “Experience Amazing.” The appearance is a striking design of power that is represented with a 301 horsepower V8 engine hidden beneath the “fire agate pearl” metallic paint. This is a classic luxury Lexus vehicle that serves as an allpurpose family style vehicle with a suggested retail price of $63,230. Additional factory options can raise the price over the $70,000 range. The immediate driving pleasure is the plush leather seats and the soft seating comfort. The ride during the drive is the smoothest ever experienced in a luxury vehicle. The seats are supported by an elaborate variable suspension system that includes a rear air suspension system with automatic load leveling for up to eight passengers. In addition, there is a Lexus “Kinetic” dynamic suspension system that flows together to make the ride extraordinaire and the best feature of this vehicle. A comfortable ride into the mountains with V8 engine performance and the variable speed transmission for passing quickly on uphill grades. The GX460 features 10 airbags for front and second-row seats and knee and roll-sensing side curtain airbags. The elaborate brake system includes electronic brake force distribution. Towing a trailer there is vehicle stability and trailer sway controls. A great rearview mirror system with elongated mirrors used with the center console screen gives a clear and accurate view of rear-end traffic monitoring, so important in today’s busy lane driving. The Mark Levinson sound system is one of the desirable options, along with a rear seat entertainment package for youthful passengers. The larger high-performance engine along with the size of this vehicle drops the gas mileage to

a 16-mpg overall average. The price of gas is creeping higher as oil prices climbed over $70 a barrel this week. This GX460 is a true luxury product with a heated mahogany wood steering wheel to steer your way in comfort and high performance.

Cab style pickups have become popular with the short beds and five passenger seating, making for a very versatile and practical vehicle. The 2018 Toyota Tacoma Limited is a strong entry into the competitive world of pickup trucks with a suggested list price of $40,215, including options. The Tacoma has a 3.5L V6 engine that delivers 278 horsepower linked to the eightspeed variable transmission and four-wheel drive easy auto-transfer case. The truck rides on a front coil spring double wishbone suspension system and leaf-spring rear suspension. The ride is firm and supportive to pulling a trailer or hauling a heavy load. The truck comes with a boosted engine oil cooling system and a rear towing hitch for hauling a trailer or boat into the high country. The truck has all of the latest Toyota safety systems that earn the pickup an overall four-star safety rating. The rear doors allow for easy access for passengers who have easy access to second-row seating.

The rear seat also makes for extra room for freight, packages and grocery items. Especially handy to keep packages dry in summer rain showers. The truck is very flexible and easy to drive, a larger vehicle, but handles easily and has a short turn radius. Fuel economy of 22 mpg on the highway, and 18 in city driving because larger engines consume more fuel, compared to new popular four-cylinder vehicles. This is a popular pickup and very adaptable to Colorado driving conditions with all-wheel drive, additional seating, a sunroof, rear hitch, and all the features to pull a boat and head to the high country.
