Craig Hospital staged an official groundbreaking May 23. Dave and Gail Liniger announced they were providing Craig a $10 million gift as a thank you to the staff, as both have been patients at the rehabilitation facility. By Tom Barry n May 23, there was a unique and special gathering of patients, staff, friends and dignitaries at Craig Hospital. Everyone came together, including many staff members that came in on their day off, to celebrate a colorful groundbreaking for one of several new facilities that will be constructed on Craig’s Englewood campus. There were many touching moments, as current and former patients united with one another for a bright and positive ceremony. Many patients were there to witness this memorable event, as their respective physical therapists and nurses were by their sides. Some of these patients face challenges that most people could never imagine.

An elaborate stage was erected under the double-decker bridge between the two Craig facilities – some refer to this as the Craig Bridge of Independence, as patients have to be able to cross this bridge over Clarkson Street by walking or using a wheelchair to progress into care that leads into “graduation” and eventual release for outpatient care. Clarkson Street was recently officially closed allowing Craig’s patients an opportunity to unite the facility for safety and functionality purposes. A colorful array of blue and white balloons decorated the front of the stage. Two large balloons on the stage were embossed with the words “I AM CRAIG.”
‘It’s all about relationships’
A massive blue banner stretched across the top of the

two-story bridge that read “REDEFINING POSSIBLE.” A large number of patients and staff that were unable to attend the block party watched the momentous event from above. More than 450 people attended this festive event, some sitting in chairs, while some staff sat on two bleachers and others stood. Michael Fordyce, Craig’s president and CEO, enthusiastically welcomed everyone to the official groundbreaking, as the actual construction had previously begun. “This is all about relationships,” said Fordyce, who proudly introduced two employees, Joe Gomez who has worked at Craig for 43 years and the newest employee, Leila Khurshid, a pharmacy intern.
Fordyce said Craig has been involved in assisting patients for more than five decades and at the Englewood location for 43 years. Craig Hospital has earned a global reputation and has been recognized as a leader in providing rehabilitation outcomes for patients with spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
Craig – A success story
“Graduates, patients and staff, this is all about you,” said Fordyce referring to the, “$90 million project that will redefine the inpatient and outpatient experience at Craig.” Cherry Hills Village Mayor Doug Tisdale addressed the attendees. Continued on Page 2
‘Million Dollar Butterflies’ spreads its wings Centennial-based TV kids show means business
By Peter Jones Mary MacNeilly and two of her young co-stars work on lyrics to a rap song – perhaps the first to try to rhyme the word “entrepreneurship.” MacNeilly – or Miss Mary as she is known here – explains the rap’s message: “No more entitlement, no more holding your hand out, saying ‘Where’s my job?’ News flash: Those jobs aren’t there, are they? So who’s going to make those jobs?”’ “We are,” the two children re-
spond in unison. Once the self-starter theme is clear, the three lyricists begin trading business-themed raps back and forth, occasionally chucking ideas and starting over. As it turned out, “entrepreneurship” is a mouthful, so MacNeilly and the kids make a few changes before “rapping” up the first verse: ‘Million Dollar Butterflies’ is a positive-message children’s show, Teaching kids like concepts that they really need to know. Like money and business – Continued on page 3

Penn: ‘God only makes masterpieces – Craig Hospital fixes them up’ Continued from Page 1 He shared a personal experience, noting that he is the father of a former patient of Craig, who was there for six weeks in 1994. Tisdale proclaimed and proudly shared that his son had just finished his 16th marathon, receiving applause from the crowd. He also presented a formal proclamation from Cherry Hills for Craig. “God only makes masterpieces – Craig Hospital fixes them up,” said Englewood Mayor Randy Penn. Penn noted that Craig was the largest employer in Englewood and that he was proudest of the reputation that Craig brings to the community, as the city council had also had a proclamation for the occasion. “Our recipe at Craig is disarmingly simple: provide the highest quality care for all in a skilled, fun, intimate and loving environment, considering everyone in our midst a VIP… everyone equally counts, everyone equally matters. This culture allows our skills to flourish,” said Dr. Les Butt, Craig’s department of psychology director. “And our talents allow us, in collaboration with our patients and families, to make the improbable probable…”

Tisdale shared that his son has just completed his 16th marathon. The cities of Englewood and Cherry Hills, along with the State of Colorado, provided a special proclamation for the groundbreaking ceremony at Craig.
A gift of thanks
During the grand finale, Dave and Gail Liniger, founders of RE/MAX, walked up the ramp to the stage and came to the podium. “We would not be here if it was not for Craig Hospital and their staff,” said Gail, a former patient of Craig after a plane crash nearly 30 years ago. She then introduced her husband who used a cane for support, jokingly noting that Dave was not yet a graduate of Craig, as he had two more weeks of outpatient care to be considered a real graduate. In this last year, Dave had gone to Sky Ridge Hospital for a scheduled back surgery. The staff found he had previously developed a staph infection prior to being admitted. Dave was in intensive care for two months and doctors said he would never walk again. That was before his five months of rehabilitation at Craig. Dave can now walk with the use of a cane and also drives a car. Dave shared that the couple’s gift of $10 million was a way to say thank you to the staff. The crowd then gave the Linigers a standing ovation. The campaign will continue to raise funds for the expansion endeavor. For more information about Craig Hospital, visit www.craig hospital.org.

‘Making a young generation accountable and turning them into innovators’ Continued from Page 1 and being entrepreneurs, Making this generation a generation of doers! The rap will form the nucleus of an upcoming episode of Million Dollar Butterflies, a new Centennial-based local children’s television show based around the concepts of business, responsibility and that unrhymable notion of entrepreneurship. Although the program boasts its share of song, dance and wide-eyed youngsters, the show’s message is solidly geared toward giving kids a sense for money and industry – CEO Kangaroo or Mister Rogers’ Livelihood, if you will. “We bridge the gap between education and reality,” MacNeilly said. “We have a need in our society to teach kids about money, business and entrepreneurship if we’re going to change the economy and change the future of this country.” Million Dollar Butterflies airs Saturdays at 6:30 a.m. on KDVR Fox 31. The target audience is children age 7 to 12 and their families. Many of the rehearsals and some of the segments are shot at Centerstage Starz Theater and Dance Studio in Centennial.

By Peter Jones In some ways, former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo is an unlikely candidate for Colorado governor. At a time when many Republicans are reaching out to Hispanic voters, his nomination would arguably run counter to the party’s national strategy. During Tancredo’s decade representing the 6th Congressional District, he became well known as a firebrand on the issue of illegal immigration – and he has stridently held firm to his principles, even as many other Republicans have backed the so-called “Gang of Eight” federal immigration bill. As the party considers its options for 2014, Tancredo announced last week that he will seek the Republican nomination for governor. This is not Tancredo’s first run for the office. As the climax to the bizarre 2010 gubernatorial election, the congressman found himself at the center of a rift in the Republican Party when he waged a third-party challenge to controversial Republican nominee Dan Maes and Democrat John Hickenlooper. Many Republicans complained that Tancredo’s entry effectively handed the race to Hickenlooper, who won with 51 percent of the vote. Tancredo took more than 36 percent, leaving Maes with little more than 11 percent. Tancredo has not shied away from other controversies that have sometimes alienated him from his party. Last year, he backed Amendment 64, the statewide ballot initiative the legalized marijuana in Colorado. As Tancredo takes another run for the state’s top position, The Vil-

lager asked him to elaborate on his decision with our readers. Villager: Why run? Tancredo: Most people ask me about running for the Senate against [Mark] Udall and think that’s an easier road to hoe, at least for getting the nomination. If I ran for the Senate, one of two things would happen and they’re both bad – I could win or I could lose. Getting on a plane every Thursday and Monday makes me shutter. You really have to have a big fire in your belly to do anything like this. It takes an enormous amount of emotional and physical energy to deal with it. I can do that for a governor’s race a lot easier than I could for a Senate race. The last election campaign I ran, which was quixotic to say the least, was the most fun I ever had. Villager: How do your chances compare to other Republicans whose names have been floated, Attorney General John Suthers and Secretary of State Scott Gessler? Tancredo: So far, I certainly haven’t seen anybody that I think can unseat Hickenlooper any better than I can. Maybe none of us can. But certainly, I would have just as good a chance, even though my negatives are high. I’m a controversial figure. But my name recognition is the highest of any Republican in the state. When you’re controversial, even if people disagree with you, they recognize you are someone who does take stands and does not back away from issues. That can be a positive. Also, this will give me an opportunity to talk about things and let people see there is another side of me. The Sudan Peace Act that I sponsored, for example. I helped raise several thousand dollars to save that little boy, Oscar Hernandez, the son of an illegal alien. The idea that I am a one-dimensional person with regard to immigration is certainly not true. Villager: Even so, if you were to become the Republican nominee, it would seem to fly in the face of the party’s national strategy to reach more Hispanic voters. Tancredo: The idea that I have no support among Hispanics is not true, and the idea that Republicans are going to get tons of Hispanic support if Republicans support the Gang of Eight bill or some sort of amnesty is absolutely false. There is not a scintilla of empirical evidence out there, polling-wise or anywhere else, that would indicate that Hispanics in America vote on the issue of immigration. The reason they
So far, I certainly haven’t seen anybody that I think can unseat Hickenlooper any better than I can. Maybe none of us can. - Former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo vote for Democrats – by 70 percent or more sometimes – is the same reason other people vote for Democrats. They want big government. They are comfortable with a sort of nanny-state arrangement. That is something you can’t overcome by arguing one way or the other on immigration. Republicans better start looking at different constituencies. There is a freedom constituency that is out there that is not tapped into and doesn’t necessarily look at Republicans as a party that represents that kind of an interest. Certainly, I’m talking to a certain extent about drugs. On the marijuana issue alone, I at least bring to the party – if it’s not the Republican Party, at least it’s a party (laughs) – a different constituency. Villager: How do you think your support for Amendment 64 would play in a gubernatorial election? Tancredo: In a Republican primary, it’s still problematic. In a general, it’s a positive. Villager: As a candidate, what’s your message to minority voters? Tancredo: I can’t tell you how committed I am to the concept of school choice. It predates all my efforts with immigration. I don’t care what color you are or what economic strata you’re in, you want the best for your kids. If your biggest concern is that rich people will get [voucher] money to send their kids to some other private school, then let’s focus on the poorest kids in neighborhoods where they absolutely have no choice. Taking a kid out of a public school and into another public school is in a way – not always, because there are certain differences – like saying, “You have the choice to go to any McDonald’s you want.” One thing I’m sure is, all children can learn. It doesn’t matter if they’re black or brown or poor or their parents don’t give a damn. A rising tide will raise all boats. You improve the school that kid goes to and he gets a better education even if his parents don’t give a damn.

The death penalty is a lethal decision KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
Some friends asked me early this week what I thought the governor would do about Nathan Dunlap and the death penalty. Very quickly, I reached an opinion that Hickenlooper would reprieve the death penalty, I don’t think making this decision was within his personality or his soul to render. It is a decision that I’m not sure a governor should have to make
and probably should be left to a jury and a judge. That decision was made 20 years ago in another administration, but Dunlap is still alive two decades later. This wasn’t Gov. Hickenlooper’s burden to bear. Justice should have a fuse that doesn’t burn for 20 years. This stay of execution will assuredly bring a decision that Dunlap may have incurred excessive duress between a life and death sentence for this lengthy period of time. It no doubt has been one of the governor’s hardest decisions of his political career and a decision that maybe is too overpowering for a governor to have to make; putting someone to death is a very hard decision. In a firing squad, only one of the rifles has a bullet, no one knows who actually killed the guilty party that was shot. Dunlap is a convicted killer and should have been executed a long
time ago. This issue now ends up in the lap of our governor in changing times. The legislature just ended a debate over ending the death penalty, the governor sidestepped that debate and in the end, the legislature passed over the issue. This authoritative body didn’t reach a conclusion on the topic and left it undecided, now the governor is left to decide, and he passed. It seems that in this world today there is far too much killing from Syria to Afghanistan to Iraq; death after death, revenge, religious hatred, bombings, etc. Hammurabi’s Law from ancient times stated, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for tooth.” That code has governed Middle Eastern law for centuries including cutting off the hand of children for thefts of bread. I think what Nathan Dunlap did was terrible, he didn’t claim insan-
ity as James Holmes is now pleading, but one must be crazy to kill four people in cold blood. Some of the family members are understandably upset that the death penalty has been reprieved and at this point in time, will probably never happen. This further delay will send this case into another legal battle of excessive punishment and cruelty and the legislature will act. I will predict that they will eliminate the death penalty in Colorado. It would seem that the death penalty should be placed on the next statewide ballot and let the voters decide the fate of future killers. I’m not sure where I really stand on this issue, but am growing weary of so many people being killed at home and abroad. It seems like the more blood that is spilled, the more it pours forth. I’m definitely sympathetic to the governor.

District Attorney condemns reprieve for Nathan Dunlap Brauchler calls Hickenlooper decision unjust and cowardly By Peter Jones istrict Attorney George Brauchler has not minced words in his denunciation of Gov. John Hickenlooper’s decision last week to grant convicted murderer Nathan Dunlap a “temporary reprieve” from the death penalty. The 18th Judicial District’s chief prosecutor has called Hickenlooper “Dunlap’s guardian angel” and said his executive order lacked “courage,” was an “injustice” to Dunlap’s victims, and was ultimately a nondecision. “The governor shrugged,” Brauchler told a press conference on the state Capitol steps shortly after Hickenlooper’s May 22 announcement. The Democratic governor had been expected to either allow the execution scheduled for August to go forward or to grant clemency, commuting Dunlap’s death sentence to life without parole. Instead, Hickenlooper took the highly unusual step of granting a reprieve that could be changed by a future governor. Brauchler, a Republican, said he would have had more respect for Hickenlooper if he had permanently commuted the sentence, as many had expected. “The greatest injury caused by this indecisiveness is that it makes matters worse for the victims,” Brauchler told The Villager. “Had he granted clemency, which I would have wholeheartedly disagreed with, at least the victims could have finally closed the door on this and begun to process how to move forward after 20 years of misery. All he has done is keep the wound open.” Dunlap’s execution would have been Colorado’s first in 15 years. In 1993, he was convicted of killing four people and critically injuring a fifth person at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Aurora. He was eventually sentenced to death, a punishment that sustained the state’s mandated appeals process. Although Dunlap’s attorneys have said their client is remorseful and had suffered from untreated bipolar disorder at the time of the murders, Hickenlooper instead stressed his reluctance to impose the death penalty in principle. “Our system of capital punishment is imperfect and there’s an

Gov. John Hickenlooper inherent inequity,” the governor told a press conference. “Such a level of punishment really does demand perfection, yet you go down and look at the long list of people who committed heinous crimes and are doing life without parole. … It’s hard to see the objective measure by which that decision is made.” Hickenlooper has previously sent mixed messages about his views on capital punishment. In March, his reported veto threats helped kill Democratic legislation that would have repealed Colorado’s death penalty. Capital-punishment opponents say it has been applied arbitrarily in Colorado and that race may sometimes be a factor, noting that all three prisoners on the state’s death row are black men who were prosecuted in Arapahoe County. Brauchler, who took office in January, says he stands by his 18th District predecessors’ decisions, as well as the judge and jury actions that have allowed Dunlap’s death sentence to survive a long and arduous legal process. “Seventeen years of appellate review by Colorado judges, who are Coloradans appointed by Colorado governors, all found that the process was fair and just and the outcome should be carried out,” the district attorney said. In contrast, Hickenlooper told reporters that he opted for the temporary reprieve, instead of clemency, in deference to that same legal process. “[The decision] is out of respect to all the jurors and judges, the prosecutors and defense attorneys, the expert witnesses, and the respect of the rule of law in the state of Colorado. We’re not overturning that,” he said. The governor made no indica-

Nathan Dunlap tion he would redress the issue by either rescinding the order or by making it permanent upon further review. That means Dunlap’s fate likely rests in the hands of Hickenlooper’s eventual successor. Hickenlooper also stressed that there is a lack of research confirming the death penalty’s efficacy as a deterrent to violent crime. “It’s hard to see from a system-wide perspective the benefit of a capital-punishment system if it results in 15 to 20 years of legal process and courts and extends emotional hardship for the families,” he said. Brauchler counters that the death penalty is still a well-reasoned punishment for society’s worst criminals. “If the death penalty, as it exists in Colorado, was not used to achieve justice, I wouldn’t seek it, I wouldn’t support it and I would seek to have it changed,” the prosecutor said. “It’s not a value or a principle. It’s a tool to obtain justice.”
Littleton reaches settlement with ex-staffer ADA complaint ends in $90,000 payout
By Peter Jones The City of Littleton has reached a $90,000 out-of-court settlement with the police department’s former crime analyst. Sheree Matousek had filed a civil suit against the city last year, alleging violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act, the federal law that prevents discrimination and requires accommodations for dis-
abled workers. Neither the city nor Matousek are permitted to discuss the settlement. Matousek reportedly has fibromyalgia, a disorder that is associated with chronic pain and fatigue. Her suit said she had originally been permitted to adjust her work schedule accordingly. That changed after she filed grievances against Cmdr. Bill Christensen, her supervisor at the time. The complaints to Human Resources and the Equal Oppor-
tunity Employment Commission alleged harassment and a hostile work environment. In addition to the disrupted work schedule, Matousek alleged that she was subject to other retaliation and harassment. Matousek was ultimately laid off by then-Chief Heather Coogan in 2010. Christensen left the department last month, along with Coogan, under a new policy that allowed officers 57 or older to retire with full health benefits.

Honoring a Crime Stopper
Centennial resident Tim Turley listens with his wife Kathy on May 20 as the Denver City Council honors him with a surprise proclamation for his work with Crime Stoppers. Turley was one of the local organization’s co-found-
ers and recently retired from its board after 35 years. Turley began his career as a probation officer in Denver Juvenile Court before serving as director of court services, among other positions. Over the years, he was also on Denver’s

County hires Facilities and Fleet Management director
Submitted by Arapahoe County Arapahoe County has named Dick Hawes as its new director of Facilities and Fleet Management. After conducting a nationwide search, the Board of Commissioners selected Hawes, who has more than 35 years of senior and executive-level professional facilitiesmanagement experience with the public and private sector, including long-range planning, engineering design and construction management, operation, maintenance, asset management, capital budgeting and improvements and planning. Hawes will oversee a 106-member department that is responsible for managing the county’s physical plant operations, capital construction, project management, life-cycle maintenance and repair of all vehicles and equipment, as well as the county’s mail and parcel distribution services. Hawes joins Arapahoe County after serving the last six years as executive vice president/execu-
Dick Hawes tive manager for Lend Lease Partnerships, where he worked in the Hawaii Regional Office and was responsible for the community redevelopment and management of military family-housing communities at six Army and two Air Force installations. Prior to his work with Lend Lease, Hawes spent 21 years with the Montgomery Public School System in Maryland, where he served
eight years as the chief facilities officer/director for the Facilities Management Department for the 17th largest school district in the United States. He was responsible for the financial, personnel and overall performance of the business unit charged with managing 21 million square feet of property assets within the school district. “We are excited to have Dick join our team,” said Commissioner Rod Bockenfeld, who serves as board chair. “Dick brings a wealth of facilities-management experience to Arapahoe County. His background in long-range planning, facilities and asset management, construction management and capital budgeting and improvements makes him the perfect candidate to lead our Facilities and Fleet Management department.” Hawes has a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Maryland and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Baltimore.
Planning – and packing – for the family vacation The UPS Store offers another way to travel
With warm weather just around the corner, many families start thinking about trips and planning for summer vacations. Whether you are flying or driving, traveling across the country, or venturing abroad, packing suitcases is an art.
Today, more and more people are finding it convenient to ship their luggage before they leave. The best part of shipping your luggage in advance? Your bags are waiting for you at your destination. Shipping your things in advance means more space in the car for the entire family on long road trips. It also means less weight in the car, resulting in better gas mileage. That’s important in this
day and age of rapidly increasing fuel prices. Shipping luggage ahead of time is smart for air travelers too. Not only can it reduce stress at the airport, it can actually save travelers money. For more information, contact The UPS Store on the north east corner of Belleview and Yosemite at 303-850-0579.

Chamber trade mission targets oil & gas executives in Houston By Manny Gonzales, South Metro Denver Chamber As part of the South Metro Denver Chamber’s ongoing mission to ensure Colorado’s economic vitality, a group of business leaders traveled to Houston recently to meet with high-ranking executives from some of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. The trade mission focused on thanking those oil and gas companies for doing business in Colorado while adhering to strict environmental and health standards as well as laying the groundwork for future investment in Colorado. “Due to the efforts of our state and local elected officials and the input of our citizens and business community, we have created a clear and consistent framework for (oil and gas companies) to operate under,” Chamber CEO and President John Brackney said. Business ambassadors included Rick Whipple, chair of the chamber’s Economic Development Group and CEO of WhippleWood CPAs; Gayle Dendinger, CEO of CAP Logistics; Detlev Simonis, director, Oil and Energy, CAP Logistics; Josh Penry, senior vice president of EIS Solutions; Andrew Casper, Regulatory Counsel at Colorado Oil and Gas Association; Peter Moore, a Senior Partner at Polsinelli PC; A.J. Misiti, Water Market Lead – Upstream Oil & Gas, CH2M Hill; Jim McGrath, executive vice president at Studley; Devin Mulhern, director of Business Recruitment for the Denver South EDP; Frederic de Loizaga, senior associate of Office Properties at CBRE; Anthony Albanese, senior associate of Office Properties/Energy Facilities at CBRE; Forrest Bassett, a broker associate with Grillo Commercial Real Estate and Jeff Holwell, director of the chamber’s Economic Development Group. “The Denver group brought a very powerful presence to Houston,” Bassett said. “I am very excited to keep this effort moving ahead and bring a positive impact to Denver.” Misiti said, “It was an outstanding experience…Many good commercial relationships were estab-

In addition to the commercial success, this was the most fun I have had on a business trip in many years. What a great team.” The group met with John Christiansen, director of Public Affairs and External Relations with Anadarko Petroleum; Damian Friend, chief geologist; and Jim Tramuto, VP of Government and Regulatory Strategies with Southwestern Energy and executives with ConocoPhillips. The group was also treated with a sit-down meeting with Chuck Davidson, Chairman and CEO of Noble Energy, one of the largest oil and gas companies operating in Colorado. “Colorado has a significant potential to grow primary jobs, and thus wealth, in our communities through the expansion of the oil and gas industry,” Holwell said. “It is therefore essential that we align our economic development and public policy priorities relative to this potential and advocate for the industry as a united business community. “Our trade mission to Houston was eye opening event and helped us create the relationships to move this agenda forward.”
The trade mission could not have been more timely, as Arapahoe County’s Board of Commissioners were convening their own meetings with oil and gas industry leaders, citizens and the state rule-making authority, The Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Administration. Faced with a highly politicized climate in the state that has seen some elected officials wantonly throwing around moratoriums, the board unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding that sets high standards for oil and gas operators beyond the rigorous, comprehensive regulations already in place at the state level. “Businesses value consistent regulatory environments, and Arapahoe County is leading the way in Colorado to reassure the industry that there will be no surprises and we will not run them out of town,” Brackney said. “Our success both today and into the future depends on balance, something we need to see more of as Colorado determines how best to utilize natural resources like oil and gas.” For more information, call John Brackney at 303-795-0142.

Villager Thierry Kennel joins CU Hospital Foundation board you. It’s the Country Club Classic, June 26 at Basselman’s Bar & Venue, June 23, 1-5 p.m. The only thing golfy at all is your attire, the event is really a beer tasting. At each “hole,” you blindly sample three local beers, trying to match them with an option they provide. For every correct guess you acquire a stroke. This is a singles sensation in my opinion and it’s on a Sunday. Register at www. countryclubclassic.org or call 303388-8708. Englewood Villager Thierry Kennel joined The University of Colorado Hospital Foundation board. Kennel is general manager of the Four Seasons Hotel Denver and a regional vice president of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “I’ve had the pleasure to work as a committee member and co-chair for Men for the Cure, and I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact the University of Colorado Hospital Foundation makes for both our community and for patients,” said Kennel. The UCHF also holds Save the Males and Hearts of All Ages. The foundation has also raised significant funds recently to support the Anschutz Cancer Pavilion and the Emergency Department at University of Colorado Hospital. “I could not be more pleased to welcome Thierry to the foundation board,” said Pete Coors, board chairman of the University of Colorado Hospital Foundation. “In his brief time in Denver, Thierry has rolled up his sleeves to get involved with this community in a way that is really admirable. The University of Colorado Hospital Foundation’s mission is to raise awareness and philanthropic support for the University of Colorado Hospital for the benefit of its patients and their families.

Frank Bonanno, chef at Mizuna and Luce d’Italia, hosts a Chefs 180 benefit, June 12. The event is at Café 180, 3315 S. Broadway in Englewood. The event includes appetizers and desserts Bonanno created himself. Tickets to the 7 p.m. event are $75 and all proceeds go to Café 180, “where appetites unite.” The café was co-founded by Cathy Matthews, Libby Whitmore and Julie Mihevc, aiming to reduce hunger and encouraging social connection among those in need. It all began last year with two events that raised enough money to support more than 2,500 lunches for those who cannot afford to pay. Development Director Amy Arnold tells us they are open Tuesday through Saturday. “We serve around 60 lunches per day. Sixty percent are paying customers and 40 percent are free lunches. We have someone dedicated to social networking and we have over 1,000 followers. When they first opened three years ago only 25 percent of the lunches were free. One of the men on the board has been homeless in the past and is a huge supporter of the cafe by letting his community know about Café 180. “We are having so much success with this location that we are now opening one in San Diego,” Arnold said.

the little things that make a difference in a child’s life,” said Cohen. “In 1999, while principal at Walnut Hills Elementary, Eric took the time to read a language arts assignment written by Patrick, a 4th grader who wanted to become a famous writer. He penned a short note saying he looked forward to reading the writer’s first book. That note still hangs over Patrick’s desk, a published poet and doctoral student in English Literature.” In April, the CAP board visited Cherokee Trail High School to recognize parent volunteer Ian Miller. An executive at Raytheon, an Army reservist and a father of three, Miller still finds time to coach lacrosse,
serve as president and past resident of the Cherokee Trail Boy’s Lacrosse Booster Club, and work with young men as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout leader. “Miller takes being a positive role model to a whole new level,” said Cohen. “He is truly one of those people within our community who exemplify the spirit of the 40 developmental assets through their good works.” The Community Asset Project was founded on the 40 developmental assets, which help young people develop into successful and responsible adults.

Boy & Girl of the Year steal scene at Leukemia & Lymphoma Society gala By Glory Weisberg he Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man & Woman of the Year was warm, touching and a more than 400 guest success. This annual Grand Finale Gala features men and women who compete to raise the most money in 10 weeks and this year’s Woman of the Year, Peach Pagano, raised a whopping $51,431. Man of the Year Michael Guglielmi raised $26,128. The annual competition to raise the most money for blood cancers has candidates not only reaching out to business, family members and friends, but also to those businesses that could donate items for baskets sold at the silent auction. Candidates Olivia Millradt, Casey Carmichael, Montine Hansl and Steven Harris won awards for supporting the agency through mission support, community involvement, volunteerism and relentless spirit. Ashley Hodgkin, Whitney Lindsey and Michelle Drager were other Woman of the Year candidates. Robert Fischer,
Robert Padgett, Woody Roseland and Mike Waesche were other Man of the Year candidates. Remember the adage that an adult should never share the stage with kids or pets as they are scenestealers? That proved true, as the Boy & Girl of the Year were absolutely charming, cute and almost joined at the hip with an attachment that began when the two were in treatment. Girl of the Year Bella Hicks, 6, held hands with Boy of the Year Addison Kleinhans throughout the ceremonies. They rode bikes together down the halls during treatment at Children’s Hospital. Paula and Kien Arnold and Jeff Williams chaired the black and white gala. Amy Schneider chaired the Executive Leadership Committee and Sue Ellen Goss was Mentorship Leaders chair. Ralph Guglielmi is president of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Rocky Mountain Chapter board. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

C
herry Creek Republican Women enthusiastically introduced Colorado Attorney General John Suthers. He began by welcoming 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler who he said inherited tough cases and is doing a great job. He also commended
his own Chief Deputy Cynthia Coffman, who has a huge management challenge of 430 employees and 233 attorneys, and she handles it well. Suthers presented a few subjects and stated that the Colorado legislators adjourned recently and we are less free and our culture is more unraveled. His first topic was the challenge of K-12 funding. In the first 100 years of our country, there were no public schools. A trial study in the last few years revealed that additional spending did not yield better performance results. Now, 45 percent of the state’s budget is for education with suburbs receiving the lowest amount. He also addressed the disputes about oil and gas development in Colorado and mentioned that Colorado is buying into the expansion of Medicaid. Perhaps his hottest topic was the amendment decriminalizing marijuana – in violation of federal law. Medical-marijuana

Miller becomes Denver Center Alliance president By Glory Weisberg Claudia Miller was officially installed as the 2013-14 president of the Denver Center Alliance, the fundraising arm of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. This lovely luncheon at the History Colorado had arriving guests asking where one could stash a dripping wet umbrella and raincoat, but this gutsy group was undeterred from the fun they had inside the spacious center. As everyone found seats and pre-set salads, they were entertained by two of the stars from the Central City Opera’s summer production of Showboat. Lots of Alliance members were surprised that the opera company is doing this well loved Broadway play as an opera and it is, of course, in English. Susan Stiff was outgoing president and we applaud her for the effort she put into the position while holding down a full-time job with Starwood and The Westin Hotel. Stiff is a study in energy and dedication, also known for her hilarious sense of humor she injects in every situation. Kay Burke is now president-elect of the Alliance and in her cabinet are Susan Kiely, Lark Katchur, Sarah Sena, Denisa Tova, Cindi Burge, Stephen Edmonds, Gayle Novak, Lorraine Salazar and Lois Paul. Paul got the surprise of her life when she was named Alliance Volunteer of the Year and right after that Linda Mitchell, DCPA associate director of Development, was honored with Special Recognition for being the glue that holds the Alliance together. The Alliance raised roughly $640,000 for the DCPA’s education efforts that bring arts programming to more than 50,000 in-state students a year. The Alliance has two upper levels of “club” membership. For $1,200 a year, they receive invitations to an August cocktail party and Dec. 12 Holiday Luncheon and other offers. For double that annual membership, club members get the above two events plus a ticket to Theatre Threads, A Runway Show (which is not to be missed); two tickets to the Alliance VIP Evening at Cirque Dreams Hollidaze, an invitation to the DCA Holiday Luncheon, a ticket to Drama Night, two patron tickets to Saturday Night Alive and a ticket to the 2014 Hattitude Luncheon.
Linda Mitchell is the glue that holds the Alliance together.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
Notices are meant to be noticed. Read your public notices and get involved!

Commitment best describes 2013 Walnut Hills’ Scholarship winners PAGE 24 • THE VILLAGER • May 30, 2013
SCHOOL
Submitted by the Walnut Hills Scholarship Committee
The 2013 Walnut Hills’ Scholarships winners are very active and dedicated group of students. They certainly speak well for the Walnut Hills’ community and those who live in it. Due to the continued support of the residents of Walnut Hills, the Walnut Hills Civic Association, the Walnut Hills Newsletter, and some private donations, the Scholarship Committee decided last fall to offer four $2,500 scholarships. The decision to offer four scholarships instead of the three normally offered was partially due to the large number of Walnut Hills seniors in this years graduating class. The $10,000 amount equals the largest amount ever offered. One can hardly read about the involvement and dedication of these fine students without taking great pride in them and their accomplishments. The other applicants, while not selected, were outstanding candidates. The scholarship committee is proud of the manner in which these students represent their families, our community, and their school. (All four of the recipients are seniors at Cherry Creek High School) Congratulations!
Brian Zuber
Alexander Hamilton
Alexander W. Hamilton, son of Barbara Calder of Walnut Hills. Academic perseverance and extracurricular dedication are two areas that best describe Alexander. Academically, he has taken seven Advanced Placement Courses with all As and 10 additional Honors courses earning him a 4.6 GPA, and ranking him in the top 3 percent of his class. He has served as vice president or co-president of the Chinese Honor Society, Key Club and Awareness Club, is a member of National Honor Society and was selected as one of the Peer Mentors from his class. One of his challenges he has mastered is the speaking of Mandarin Chinese, a course that has special meaning for him. Alexander also has a love for the sciences, where he has completed four years of “Honor” science courses. His teachers commented, “He is always the diligent, conscientious student that reaches out to other students who are struggling, tutors them, and shares his drive and passion.” Alexander plans to attend Brown University in Providence, R.I., with majors in Biology and Chinese, as well as Psychology.
Austin Strain Joyce Ling Yueh Yueh (Joyce) Ling, daughter of Koh Sing and Chien Ho Ling of Walnut Hills has the desire to learn about herself and the world around her heads the list of Joyce’s goals. She is an accomplished student who thrives on caring about others. Her counselor said, “She has shown that learning about other cultures and demonstrating respect for all people is her priority.” Joyce has an outstanding academic record consisting of seven Advanced Placement Courses, five of which were completed in her junior year with a 4.1 GPA. Along with having an outstanding academic record, Joyce is a member of the select Girls 21 choir. She also serves as president of both the Awareness Club and the Korean Club and is a member of Big Sisters and the Chinese Honor Society. In addition to school activities, she is the leader of her Church Youth Group and has a part time job as a private tutor in English. Joyce plans to attend the University of Colorado - Boulder with an undecided major.
Austin M. Strain, son of Jayne Bauer and James Strain of Walnut Hills. “Balance” is the word that best describes Austin. Balance between academics, athletics, activities and part time job. His well roundedness is exemplified by a strong academic record. He has taken seven Advanced Placement courses and scored high enough to be named a National Advanced Placement Scholar. He has received Honor Academic Awards all four years. He has been an active participant in soccer, where he was named team captain for two years. Austin also enjoys outdoor sports with his friends and family. He served as a mentor for the freshman class. In addition to his strong academic record, sports and activities, he has held a part-time job during the school year and during the summer. His counselor said, “Learning is more important to him than earning an A in class, in spite of this he has earned mostly As. His active involvement in his Advanced Placement government classes has led to his desire to study Political Science at the University of Colorado-Boulder with a desire to go on to law school.
Brian A. Zuber, son of Carol and Al Zuber of Walnut Hills. Character and moral commitment are the two words that best describe Brian. Brian’s active and dedicated involvement in two primary activities, scouting and church, have been very influential in molding his character. In scouting, he earned his Eagle Scout and gained leadership role as an Assistant Troop Leader where he planned and directed many scouting activities. His church has been an influential focal point of Brian’s life. He has been on three work trips connected with his church, two to New Mexico and one to Peru helping to repair churches and homes, which have had a great influence as to his compassion for others. Brian was hired by his church as an intern in their youth ministry where he has many leadership roles in planning events, as well as helping with finances and budgets. He has become a very strong student enrolled in several Advanced Placement and Honors courses. He was named as a National Merit Scholar due to his outstanding college test scores. Brian plans to attend San Diego State University and major in Chemistry with a goal to attend medical school and become a general practitioner.
CCHS grad named CSU Greek Woman of the Year Katie Wondra, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Wondra of Centennial, has been named Colorado State University’s 2013 Greek Woman of the Year. The honor, presented at the Greek Night Out Awards at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, follows completion of her year as president of Chi Zeta chapter of Chi Omega women’s fraternity. It is the largest sorority on the CSU campus, and part of the largest sorority in America. The honor culminated a Greek Night Out awards event put on by the Panhellenic Council, Inter-fraternal Council, National Panhellenic Council, and Multicultural Greek Council. Her sorority won seven awards, including the prestigious Gold Seal of Approval, the highest award for chapter management. Wondra, whose chapter leadership received the CSU Presidential Vision Award from CSU President Tony Frank in 2012, used that award to create a CSU
event called “Keep Friendship Alive” warning against the affects of mixing alcohol with overthe-counter prescription drugs. The event, in March of this year, was one of the highest attended Greek-sponsored events on campus. Among her activities at CSU during Senior Seminar was creation of a teaching unit for elementary schools, designed to help teachers to recognize and teach grieving children. “Katie demonstrates the very best in Greek leadership,” said Panehellic Advisor Amy Bell. The 2009 graduate of Cherry Creek High School is a CSU 2013 honors graduate in Human Development and Family Studies, National Collegiate scholar and a member of the Order of Omega Honor Society. She will work for Teach for America in the Raleigh Durham area of North Carolina for a two-year stint teaching high school science.

LearnZillion is a national community of teachers dedicated to high-quality instruction of the Common Core State Standards. Members of the Dream Team received extensive training in San Francisco at the TeachFest conference. The intensive professional de-
velopment conference was based around the “hack fest” model popularized by computer programmers who spend weekends coding and trading tips. Christie and Moore joined exemplary educators chosen on the basis of their understanding of the Common Core and their ability to create high-quality lessons that are easily understood by students. They gained training and technology necessary to translate their classroom expertise into screencasts, a sophisticated but simple use of the computer screen for teaching.

Littleton High celebrates
108th Commencement By Tom Barry On May 24, under the hot sun and a light breeze, Littleton High graduated 332 seniors. The stands were full of happy family members joined by friends and classmates of the seniors to celebrate their accomplishment. The students were dressed in purple gowns and matching mortarboards for the special spring ceremony. The traditional graduation processional Pomp and Circumstance was performed by the Graduation Ensemble under the direction of Mr. Donald Emmons. The Concert Choir sang The Star Spangled Banner, under the direction of Mr. James Farrell, as the American flag waved in the light breeze during the ceremony. Student Body President Kurt Schreiber provided opening remarks, while Mikenna Stephens spoke to her classmates in her address entitled “Purple and Gold Forever.” Twin brothers Kevin and Sean Wake were the Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively. The statistical probability of twin brothers in both honorary positions simultaneously is incalculable. Dr. Amy Oaks, the principal, later commented about the rarity of the Wake brothers in those positions, while wearing a broad smile.
Oaks and Scott Murphy, superintendent of the Littleton Public Schools, made a presentation to the graduates and the spectators that were seated in the grandstands. The class song for the 2013 class was It’s Time, by Imagine Dragons, while the class motto was “Be Bold.” John “Lumpy” Hunter, the senior class president, entertained his classmates and those in the grandstands with his reflective memories and humor that had the crowd laughing frequently. “It’s bitter sweet [graduation] because it’s tough to see your friends go but you have to know you’ll see them again,” said “Lumpy” Hunter, who earned a 4.0 GPA and will attend the University of Kansas to study architectural engineering. “In high school, it’s not the grades you make but the hands you shake.” Upon the announcement that the seniors were officially graduated, many of them grabbed their mortarboards and flung them into the air, as families and friends cheered. The graduates then posed for pictures with friends and family members and exchanged hugs. A party was held in the adjacent school cafeteria for the group, as several hundred attended the celebratory gathering.
The stands were nearly full at the Littleton High graduation ceremony last Friday, as the graduates in purple enjoyed the ceremony.

Arapahoe High conducts 48
th
annual commencement exercise
By Tom Barry On an exceptionally beautiful spring morning, May 23, Arapahoe High School had its graduation ceremony at Littleton Public Schools Stadium. The old stadium was filled with families, friends and classmates to enjoy the memorable occasion. The 520 graduates were on the field sitting in precise lines and flanked by teachers and staff and school district dignitaries. The processional music was played by the Arapahoe High Symphonic Band and directed by Mr. Shawn Funk. Abby Hess of the 2013 class provided welcoming remarks and was followed by Principal Natalie Pramenko, who gave the opening remarks. The graduates and people in the stands were treated to a special guest speaker, Mark Soldier Wolf, the Tribal Elder of the Northern Arapaho Tribe. “He discussed the relationship between Arapahoe High School and the Arapaho Tribe,” said Nicole Jewett, who graduated from the class with a 4.2 GPA and will attend Santa Clara University in California. She will study Bioengineering at the school, an hour south of San Francisco. She and her twin sister Michelle will attend the same school. “The speaker shared that we value the relationship with Arapahoe High and wished us good luck in the future,” Jewett said. Zachary Cherin, a senior, provided the keynote speech to his fellow classmates. Brandon Contino, the class president, delivered a reflective and humorous speech to the audience. Graduates and families then came together in the lot adjacent the stadium and posed for pictures in their black caps and gowns. There were lots of hugs and smiles between the classmates and parents.
