Van Dyken-Rouen rehabbing at Craig Hospital CCHS’s Olympian injured in ATV accident
By Tom Barry Amy Van Dyken-Rouen, Colorado’s first Olympic golden girl of swimming, has arrived back home, though not under the best of circumstances. On June 6, the athlete severed her spinal cord and broke several ribs in Show Low, Ariz., when the ATV she was driving tumbled near her home. Her husband, Tom Rouen, a former Denver Broncos punter, came to her aid, finding her face down and not breathing. Van Dyken-Rouen was rushed to the Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center where she underwent major surgery and spent time in intensive care and recovery with her husband and parents by her side. Throughout her stay, the Olympic champion communicated regularly through Twitter and Instagram. “Yes, this injury sucks – and yes, things hurt, but I’m alive,” she told a press conference while shedding some tears. “I’m so Continued on page 3 RIGHT: Cherry Creek High School graduate and Olympic medalist Amy Van DykenRouen smiles at the media upon her arrival at Craig Hospital in Englewood, June 18.

Centennial apartment fire prompts bold escapes 8 injured, 1 in critical condition
By Peter Jones Eight people were injured, including one person who was reported in critical condition, as the result of a quick-spreading fire that broke out in a Centennial apartment building in the early morning of June 23 and led some residents to make daring escapes when the fire blocked stairs. According to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, the early morning fire may be the work of an arsonist. At press time, the cause of the fire remained under investigation. As many as 100 firefighters were on the scene of the 24-unit Copper Terrace Apartments on Dayton Street within five minutes of reports of the 1 a.m. blaze, according to Becky O’Guin, spokeswoman for South Metro Fire Rescue. The fire was under control within about 30 minutes, she said. The roof structure and sever-

Before rescue teams arrived, neighbors knotted blankets as makeshift ropes and used a mattress as a safety buffer for jumpers who were forced to leap from third-
floor apartments. “There was no other way out, except from their balcony,” O’Guin said. “Several people jumped. That’s where a lot of the injuries came from. There was a group of people who backed up a pickup truck underneath with
mattresses on it. That was kind of taking place as we arrived.” Those residents who were sent to hospitals suffered conditions ranging from smoke inhalation to second-degree burns and back injuries from jumping out of the building.

CU’s 2014 Athletic Hall of Fame class to welcome 9 new members Local resident Herb Orvis to be inducted
The 10th class that will be inducted into the University of Colorado Athletic Hall of Fame, Oct. 30, will feature nine Golden Buffalo legends who left their indelible marks on the school with an impressive list of accomplishments. The nine, one of whom will be honored posthumously, have a definite coaching flavor among them: five list the profession on their resumes; three were studentathletes at Colorado and two returned to as head coaches for the sports for which they were groomed. Also included, one could say, are a leaper, a “rassler,” a harasser, a jumper, a picker and a grabber. Translation: a hurdler, wrestler, quarterback sacker, pole vaulter, interceptor and rebounder. The 2014 class will tie for the third-largest inducted into the Hall since it was conceived in 1998, as eight former Buffalo athletes, including two who went on to coach for the school, plus one legendary head coach will join 59 individuals and the entire 1959 ski team which have been enshrined to date (seven have been honored previously after their deaths). Every decade between the 1930s and 1990s is touched upon in the class. Arapahoe County resident Herb Orvis, a near consensus All-American as a senior in 1971 while playing football at CU, earned recognition from five organizations, including AFCA/Kodak, Walter Camp and The Sporting News (he was a third-team Associated Press team member). He was honored as a Playboy Preseason All-American prior to

A two-time first-team All-Big Eight Conference performer as a junior and senior, and was the Big Eight Conference Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore in 1969, when he had 75 tackles, including 12 for losses (nine quarterback sacks). Orvis was selected as a member of the All-Big Eight Decade team for the 1970s. His 20 career quarterback sacks would have ranked first at the time of his graduation, but they weren’t computed until several years later; his 32 tackles for loss at the end of his career did rank second. Orvis played as significant a role as anyone in CU’s 1971 season that saw the Buffaloes finish No. 3 in the nation, behind Nebraska and

Orvis joined the Army while in high school and earned his diploma overseas; he met thenCU head coach Eddie Crowder in Germany when the Buff boss was in Europe on a governmentsponsored coaching tour. He was a first round pick by Detroit in the 1972 NFL Draft (16th overall, the highest at the time that a CU defender had been selected). He played in 122 NFL games with (Detroit 1972-77) and Baltimore (1978-81). He was a second-team All-NFC performer at tackle
for the Lions in 1975. In 1989, he was selected as a member of CU’s All-Century Football Team, honoring the first 100 years of the sport at the school. After his football career, Orvis also owned an art gallery and was a citrus farmer in Florida. He returned to Colorado in 2004 and is now retired and lives in Aurora.

Sullivan gets 15-month prison sentence Ex-sheriff had numerous probation violations
By Peter Jones Former Arapahoe County Sheriff Patrick Sullivan will spend 15 months in state prison as the result of a series of probation violations connected to his drugs-for-sex conviction. The judge’s decision prompted cheers in the courtroom and came after a prosecutor called Sullivan a “community safety risk.” During his two years of probation, the disgraced ex-lawman missed 36 of his required urine tests for drugs, and when he did provide a sample he tested positive for methamphetamines or alcohol a total of 10 times. Chief District Judge William Sylvester called Sullivan’s record “extraordinary.” Under terms of his probation, Sullivan was not supposed to use alcohol, narcotics or other dangerous substances without a prescription. He could also not leave the state without court permission, among other stipulations. In violation, the former lawman went to Texas for more than a week in January. In 2012, he failed to wear a required alcoholmonitoring device. Sullivan, 71, apologized to the court before the June 19 sentencing. “I am sorry I did not succeed in probation,” he told Sylves-
Former Sheriff Pat Sullivan ter. “I have a drug problem, and I have had a drug problem for a long time.” Kevin McGreevy, the former sheriff’s defense attorney, argued against prison time, noting that Sullivan had been treated at an inpatient rehabilitation facility without incident. Last month, Sullivan pleaded guilty to violating a number of probation rules, including his trip to Texas, though he did leave a voicemail message with the court about his plans to go there after his brother’s death. Sullivan could have received 12 to 15 months in prison for the probation violations. In 2012, the onetime Sheriff of the Year, pleaded guilty to drug possession and trading meth for sex after being caught in a police sting. The name of Arapahoe County’s Patrick J. Sullivan Detention Center was soon changed.
Letter to the Editor Interesting facts
Please inform Mort Marks that one of his “very interesting facts” he relayed to the public in the June 19 edition of The Villager is incorrect. Nowhere in the English legal history, or American legal history for that matter, allows a man to “beat his wife with a stick but no thicker than his thumb” [citing from the editorial]. Indeed, several American judges in the 1800s, in the process of rendering their decisions at the end of domestic abuse trials, explicitly wrote that no such law has ever been on the books and
therefore not a valid argument. This phrase most likely stems from carpenters or other handymen, probably during the 1400s but possibly later, who used rough estimates when measuring and cutting wood or other material. As there were ill defined and not universally agreed upon units of measurement, unofficial “standards” were often used such as the length of a grown man’s arm or the width of a man’s thumb. V.

It helps get me through the pain.” Van Dyken-Rouen would soon return home to Craig Hospital in Englewood, several miles from where she grew up and attended Cherry Creek High School. The sixtime gold medal swimming sensation boarded a specially equipped AngelMed Flight to Centennial Airport, where she was transferred into an iCare ambulance. The ambulance rolled into the hospital driveway with more than 50 media representatives patiently waiting. After a few minutes, Mike Fordyce, the hospital’s president and CEO, told reporters that Van DykenRouen was a little tired and would be briefly resting. In the
meantime, her parents, Don and Becky, quietly stood off to the side away from the limelight. About 10 minutes later, two attendants swung open the backdoors and Van Dyken-Rouen, with a wide smile, was greeted by the media. “I’m doing alright, rockin’ and rollin’,” she said. A videographer with camera in hand was immediately behind her in the ambulance as the athlete was lifted out and onto a brand new high-tech gurney. “We are thrilled to have [Van Dyken-Rouen]. We’ll take good care of her we’ll keep you posted because she tweets better than I do,” Fordyce told the media. Van Dyken-Rouen then thanked the AngelMed flight crew and said that it was wonderful to be in Colorado. “I’m excited to be back here to start my brand new life.
You know family lives here, so I’ll have some visitors, lots of friends. It’s great, I feel like I never left … Oh, Cherry Creek High School, I just want to say thank you, a lot of them have been on Facebook and on Twitter and on Instagram – thank you to them, and thank you to everybody really whose been writing positive notes saying that they have positive thoughts and prayers and all that. … Just so you know, I do read every tweet and I do read everything that comes across, and I definitely feel the thoughts and prayers, so please keep them coming. This is just the beginning.” Van Dyken-Rouen is undergoing extensive therapy and recovery efforts with Craig’s internationally-renowned staff of experts. Some hospital staffers said Van Dyken-Rouen’s positive attitude would make a difference in her recovery efforts.

This past week, I enjoyed participating in the Rocky Mountain Driving Experience that started at the Embassy Suites Hotel at DIA and made a circle through the mountains, including a quick stop at Z Casino, formerly Bullwhackers, in Black Hawk. The RMDE is sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press, a group of communication folks, who like to report automotive news and test drive cars for auto manufacturers. I’ve been a member of the organization for many years. This year the event lasted for two days with a drive up through Morrison, Black Hawk and ending at the Wild Basin Lodge near Estes Park with 35 drivers and 35 test cars provided by factory representatives who accompanied the group. Z Casino was kind enough to allow a pit stop and driver exchange in the great parking lot right out the back door of the casino on the north end of Black Hawk. The great Colorado Gambler newspaper was right by the rear door as I raced downstairs to the blackjack pit enroute to the men’s room. The pit stop was scheduled for 20 minutes so it didn’t allow much

time. But, first I registered for a new point card and admired the newly redecorated casino. Really looks sharp and this company is on a roll owning casinos in both Central City and now Black Hawk and, of course, the great gas station south of town that provides such a great service to those needing food and fuel. I plunged into the blackjack game and after the dealer shuffled up the six decks, I only lost one hand in about 10 minutes. I had double downs, blackjacks, perfect 20s, and I in just a few minutes had made a nice chuck of change. The lady bartender poured me a complimentary cup of coffee when I first entered and she said, “This is lucky coffee,” well she was right. I hated to leave so soon but I didn’t want to walk to Allenspark where we had a great luncheon at the Wild Basin Lodge and had an
off road four-wheel drive into the Roosevelt National Forest. We returned to Denver for the evening and a dinner at the hotel. The next day of this two day auto adventure was going to the High Plains Raceway out near Deer Trail about 50 miles northeast of the airport off I-70. The racetrack was rented for the entire day and we were treated to taking many of the cars out onto the track for a drive. There was no racing but we were able to drive the cars at top speeds. My top speed in one of the cars was 110 mph but the course was about a mile with only one major straight stretch and lots of short curves. As the day progressed most of the cars brakes got hot and we had to give them a short rest but not a single car had a mechanical problem and the group didn’t record any
accidents, dents or bruises. We had to wear racing helmets and we were all briefed on track flags and proper racing safety rules. Safe to say that the cars all performed well and some of those huge V-8 engines really could perform. But, the smaller cars with the 4-cylinder turbo engines and stick shifts could perform with the big guns and did. RMAP officers, auto media companies, staffs and car representatives were just great. It was a great experience, lots of fun and very educational about improvements and technical information about 2014 vehicles. You’ll be reading more about these cars in upcoming editions as these cars return for further review in this publication. I do plan on racing back to Z Casino and make another pit stop.
Our country has lost its ethics REMARKS
By Mort Marks
Our age has become an age when even simple grace, wit and charm are alien: an age when everything is very important: an age where everything is “at risk” or in “crisis.” Can you believe that in Chicago two grown children actually sued their mom for “bad mothering?” They alleged damages were caused when she failed to buy toys for one and sent another a birthday card he didn’t like. What has happened to our age? Perhaps the answer to such behavior can be found in our education system.

Greenwood Village opens long-term stay hornet’s nest Some councilmembers conflicted over motel residents’ stories
By Jan Wondra What began as a relatively benign ordinance to correct a gap in the Greenwood Village landdevelopment code became a reallife exercise in income disparities and the long-term affects of economic realities. The recent public hearing was emotional, pitting traveling workers and families affected by loss of homes against a City Council charged with developing and enforcing codes for public safety. At issue are the city’s five hotels zoned only for short-term stays, which have nonetheless been accommodating families and workers for months and in some cases years. The ordinance passed unanimously on first reading with final approval scheduled for July 7. Of the five hotels, Motel 6
Denver South, 9201 E. Arapahoe Road, became the epicenter of the discussion. Although built to code in 1991, it and the LaQuinta Best Western and Sleep Inn locations are lacking such long-term stay requirements as sprinklers, 20amp electrical circuitry and full kitchens. After 30 days, according to state law, a person with no other residential address becomes a resident of their long-term stay location. According to the ordinance’s sponsor, Mayor Pro Tem Gary Kramer, “This has everything to do with safety and it has nothing to do with wanting to throw people out on the street. The number of people staying long term in a facility that is not built to longterm-stay code raises a concern of fire.” Neville Sakori, the owner of the Motel 6 South Denver who also owns a motel in Gillette, Wyo., explained some of the complications. “I am torn between talking as
a business person or as a human person,” he said. “As a business, I would like to rent to business people who are gone all day, come in at 7 p.m. and make no damage. But we live in the real world. I inherited some long-stay residents when I bought five years ago. I can’t ask, ‘Are you bringing kids?’” Motel 6 resident Margaret Williams explained her situation. “The house we were living in was sold out from under us,” said Williams, who temporarily occupies a room with her husband and two small children. “We’re trying to find another place to move to, but I work here and I can walk to work. By the end of the year, we can save a rent down payment and move. But so many of the people here are on disability. They can’t move. You’re booting people out who have no place to go.” Fire Chief Kevin Milan said calls to Motel 6 were 22 percent higher than the other hotels in Greenwood Village and that
the average for the five hotels operating with long-term residents but without proper fire-code safety features constituted about 47 percent of their calls. “It’s not fire calls. It’s the calls for emergencies, health issues,” he said. “Many people don’t have health care. They don’t know where the emergency rooms and hospitals are.” The electrical systems are generally built for short-term stays of fewer than 30 days and usually have only 12-amp electricity, which can easily overload. “We do all we can,” Milan said. “We inspect, but the fire department can only enforce to the code of the record, which in this case is 1991 code. It is not up to code level for long-term stays. There is an old saying in fighting fires, ‘There is no honor in fighting a fire that could nave been prevented.’” It was clear that many of the City Council members were struggling with a conflict between
their government duties and their sense of personal pain over the situation. “I was moved by your comments,” Kramer said. “There was a time in my life where I didn’t have a place to live. I didn’t know where I was going to get the money to eat. I truly understand, but this is about public safety. I do think we should do something about the ordinance effective date to provide some time for people to find alternative housing.” “This is a hotel,” said Councilwoman Denise Rose. “It was never meant to be a residential hotel in a business district. It’s not really safe for families to live in long term.” “We do hear you,” Councilwoman Leslie Schulter said. “We know for those of you living here, this is not your fault. We would hope that our nonprofit resources can help you find other places to live. But this was not designed to accommodate longterm living.”

Englewood Police are investigating a crime where a woman’s body was found at Belleview Park on June 14, adjacent the Big Dry Creek. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office identified Catherine Palmer, 57, in what police are calling a “suspicious death.”

Woman’s body found in Belleview Park Victim discovered near Big Dry Creek By Tom Barry A passerby walking through Belleview Park on June 14 around 6:30 a.m. made a grizzly discovery – a woman’s body in or adjacent Big Dry Creek. The passerby called 911 and Englewood’s police and fire departments responded to one of the city’s largest parks in a remote area less frequented by park visitors. The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office identified Catherine Palmer, 57, in what police are calling a “suspicious death.” Palmer’s next of kin
were notified that same day. Police only provided sparse details because the case remains under investigation. Police have not been able to identify where Palmer actually lived. “We are not listing it as a homicide. We are listing it as a suspicious death,” said Sgt. Vince Fender, who is overseeing the investigation. “At this point … we are not looking at any persons of interest. We are looking at people who were last with her and circumstances surrounding her death. … We’re not listing it as a homicide because we don’t have a cause or matter of death from the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office.” Such a determination will not be made until the final toxicology results are received and
reviewed. The victim’s body was spotted in an area densely covered with tall thick grasses, trees and other vegetation. The area is on the far north side of the expansive area near the dog park. Eight to nine officers assigned to the investigations unit are looking into the case and interviewing people Palmer had recently seen. Fender said it remains unclear as to where Palmer actually lived. “I’m fairly certain that she does not have just one address,” he said. “… I can’t list her as a transient or as homeless because she does have official addresses [around the metro area].”
Littleton police organize National Night Out Submitted by Littleton Police Department National Night Out is a national program held annually on the first Tuesday in August (Aug. 5 this year) in which community members join forces with local police departments to promote police-community partnerships, crime-prevention and neighborhood unity. Every year, the Littleton Police Department and neighbors from all around the city come together to give crime a “goingaway party.” Littleton residents and business owners are encour-
aged to organize block parties in their own neighborhoods and business districts to strengthen neighborhood spirit, get to know the neighbors and police and develop community partnerships with the police department. Last year’s NNO event brought together residents from every corner of Littleton at 34 different block parties, involving almost 1,600 residents. Included in the parties were special events, such as cooking competitions, youth programs and anti-crime rallies. Many block-party captains were able to obtain free party supplies and food from local businesses
that support NNO. LPD is actively recruiting volunteers to assist in the coordination of the block parties. If you are interested in hosting a party in your neighborhood or would just like more information on the event, send an email to Sgt. Brian Rauzi at brauzi@littletongov.org. The deadline to register your neighborhood party is July 18. Ask your neighbors if there is a party scheduled in your neighborhood. If one is not being planned, we can help with party ideas and getting the word out to the neighbors.

Need back to school items
Inter-Faith Community Services is asking for back-to-school items needed by children unable to pay for them. Their Ready, Set, School! Program needs readers to sponsor a child, matching you up with a child to get and give items beyond school supplies, to clothing and other needs. We were shocked in previous years to see the cost of what some Cherry Creek School listed items can run and wondered how many families didn’t have the money to buy it all, excluding clothing. To donate school supplies download Inter-Faith Community Services School Supplies Checklist and Donation Drop Off Locations. Executive Director Sandra BlythePerry wants your help. In 2013 the nonprofit provided 1,058 backpacks filled with items for kids in need. Here’s some of
what they collected: over 38,000 pencils, nearly 13,000 pens, and thousands of other items on their school supplies needed list. When you’re walking the aisles of area stores collecting items your own children’s needs, demonstrate that charity begins at home and sharing supplies is fulfilling. Call the Englewood-based group at 303-789-0501.
Etiquette
Vilifying a whole generation of Americans just never made sense to me, so when “statistics” showed that millennials are a selfish lot I didn’t buy it. Many of us are pulled in more directions today and life seems to be busier than it was before that 1985 Mac invaded the average American home. Go back to pre-1985? Not a chance but some business sectors, perhaps especially the nonprofit sector, seem to want to blame a perceived tightening of today’s wallets as indicative of a selfish, “me” generation. They don’t donate and they don’t volunteer, we’ve heard. But the June 19 Huffington Post ran a piece titled “87% of Millennials Donated to Charity Last Year and You Should Stop Calling Them Selfish: Report.” Read on here in case you didn’t see that article last week.
“Results from the 2014 Millennial Impact Report by consulting firm Achieve are in, and it turns out today’s young professionals think giving back to their communities is important. According to the report 47 percent of the 1,514 employed millennials surveyed said they had volunteered for a cause or nonprofit in the past month, and 57 percent wanted to see more company-wide volunteer opportunities through their employer. “The report surveyed employees who were born after 1979 and are at least 20 years old. “The report also concluded that millennials are ‘still a generation that likes to give.’ The majority of that percentage donated gifts larger than $100.” Cutting to the chase, the article ends with a quote from Derrick Feldmann, president of Achieve, who said, “It’s always tempting to compare millennial employees to older generations of workers.” But, here we get a sticky etiquette statement: “The desire to measure generations against each other may motivate other researchers, but It’s difficult to do. How do you effectively compare generations who have grown up in different worlds?” My parents’ world was vastly different than my own and the world inherited by my children is
even more different than my own. But perhaps the impression of selfishness is the result of drawing from a wider range of people as our more ethnically diverse nation and the Internet have exposed us to more types of people in general. Are we imposing our own definitions on a culturally more diverse population, making it easier to shoehorn them into our own established views? If so, it’s bad etiquette. It’s also exclusionary and wouldn’t you hate to have been judged as selfish by others back when you were a generation younger than those who came of age two decades before you did? We should all see the shrinking world through the eyes of those people of a different generation and take the time to understand them and conclude that they are certainly not selfish. Charities that are healthy are often those able to reach out to the millennials and involve them in their mission statements. Make your goals meaningful to them. They want to do more than stuff envelopes. They want to donate items, not just dollars. They want to do more than just go to meetings. They are well educated and they want to be active participants.

Do at the Zoo draws 3,000 humans to sip, sup and sway away a warm summer evening
By Glory Weisberg
A
round 3,000 humans did the Do at the Zoo, mixing it up with the 4,000 zoo residents, on a warm spring night. This is not the zoo of old, before the first Do at the Zoo, and due to its amazingly spread out growth of today, it was challenging for Do supporters to get to each of the 60 restaurant booths that used just about the entire acreage. Coupled with exciting drink choices, it also presented a wonderfully balanced menu, the absolutely best Zoo Do! In its 25 years, the annual Do has enticed 45,000 guests who have raised a total of more than $11 million. Tropical Discovery was the first site to benefit, then came the Primate Panorama, Predator Ridge, and the latest, the Toyota Elephant Passage that is home to way more than elephants. Meredith Coors chaired this Do at the Zoo that included a contest winning specialty drink, “Clouded Cub Soda,” yes, that is cub. The creator was Kiana Sabas Barber and for her entry she got two Do tickets. Get out a tall cocktail glass for her recipe that features 2 oz. Casamigo’s Blanco Tequila, 5 oz lime juice, ice and 3-4 oz of Fresca Grapefruit Soda, topped off with a grapefruit twist. VIPs got a one-hour head start on the food and drink extravaganza. At 8:30 p.m., as an incredible orange and blue sunset appeared, the U2 tribute band, Under A blood Red Sky, performed at the Conoco Zoo Gardens. At varying times other sites on the zoo grounds featured Ben Marshal at Sheep Mountain, Luke Mossman at Sycamore Island, the Jay and Neil Show at the Above Underwater Sea Lion Viewing VIP section and Wichita Run at Bird World. Dancing under the stars rounded out a romantic and enticing evening. Among food booths was our own favorite, the one from K-M Concessions. While celebrating his 40th birthday, Sean McNicholas himself presented perfectly spiced tenderloin. Also thumbs up to Garcia’s, Rio Grande, The Kitchen, Bonanno Concepts Pizzeria, Mizuna, Texas de Brazil, Jonesy’s Eatbar, Olive and Finch, Steuben’s, Vesta Dipping Grill, Los Chingones and the New Neighborhood Bistro. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

9 Annual Colorado Celebrity Classic: th
3-day star-studded event Twenty years of military survivors helping survivors: TAPS Founder & Chairman Bonnie Carroll and host Steve Grove, who opened his Ranch at Cherry Creek for the Saluting Our Fallen Heroes Dinner Concert
By Scottie Taylor Iverson
TAPS and its programs to help America’s military families find hope and healing after loss, including Good Grief Camp for Young Survivors and a 24-7 Helpline, benefited from a marathon weekend fundraiser that brought out passionate supporters and celebrities and listed 13 elected officials as honorary chairs. Linda Cavanagh and Kevin Kreymborg were event chairs. The Songwriters Kickoff, held at the Red Lion Hotel Denver Southeast on June 19, included “percussionist” Pete Coors on spoons. Western casual was de rigueur at the June 20 dinner concert featuring a myriad of highvalue auctions, local performers Tony David and Wildefire, comedian Ralph Achilles and Jimmy Fortune – Hall of Fame country and gospel singer who performed with the legendary Statler Brothers for 21 years. Eisenhower Golf Club at the U.S. Air Force Academy was the site for the June 22 golf tournament with military team competition. The weekend honored the lives of those who have died while serving our nation. Proceeds ensure loved ones left behind are provided vital care and connections when they need it most. In 2012, more than 4,800 new families contacted TAPS. For more information, visit www. taps.org.

Grant Wilkins wins Ritchie Award
By Rosemary Fetter To look at Grant Wilkins, you would never imagine that 1) he was once affected by the deadly polio virus, and 2) that he is 87 years old. On April 10, the Greenwood Village resident received the Daniel L. Ritchie Award from the Colorado Alliance on Business Ethics for his exemplary service to the world community. Wilkins’s accomplishments in Rotary are legendary. A delightful man who grew up in a family of Rotarians, he was inspired by his father, a salesman who belonged to five different Rotary Clubs in four states. At 25, Grant was afflicted with a deadly form of polio, becoming the first American to receive the now common surgical procedure called a tracheotomy. “I was fed intravenously, couldn’t swallow or talk. It was very frightening and surreal, polio patients were dying all around me,” Wilkins said. His first wife, Diane, also contracted the disease and remained in a respirator for the next 13

years until her death. He once told a reporter, “I never wanted anyone else to go through what I did.” Known by club members as
“Mr. Rotary,” during the past 40odd years, Wilkins has dedicated himself to what fellow Rotarians call “Service Above Self.” A man of boundless energy and optimism
(he still walks six miles a day), he became a strong supporter of Rotary’s Polio Plus program, serving on the USCB Polio Plus Committee and spearheading efforts
in Denver. During the 1980s, he established the popular Artists of America program, which raised nearly $20 million for the cause. Thanks to the efforts of Rotarians worldwide, polio has nearly been eradicated from the face of the planet. Wilkins has served as Denver Rotary president, district governor, on the original USCB Polio Plus Committee and as consultant to the Rotary International Foundation. He has started up Health Initiatives around the world, including health fairs in Denver and Russia, and recently dedicated considerable efforts to Rotary International’s Clean Water Initiative. The Daniel L. Ritchie Award is given to individuals in the community who demonstrate high moral character and ethical practices expressed through extraordinary service. They treat others with care and respect. They champion the highest levels of social responsibility, using innovative measures to affect a positive outcome. If this particular “Profile in Courage,” applies to anyone, Grant Wilkins certainly qualifies.

The atmosphere was filled with excitement as guests looked forward to trying the best wine Colorado has to offer. The festival showcased more than three-dozen Colorado win-

eries where guests had the opportunity to sample hundreds of unique wine varietals produced by Colorado wineries. Attendees had a chance to meet many Colorado wine makers face to face and discuss the process of making wine in the state and each wine maker’s unique take on grape choices and techniques. The festival featured a celebrity chef demo stage provided by Wolf Subzero with four unique demonstrations throughout the day, including a cheese and wine experience by Eat & Drink. A VIP experience added to the overall level of the event and tickets included a private tent area with exclusive wine
pours and tastings by Eat & Drink and the Slotted Spoon. A wide assortment of food trucks offering everything from pizza to peanut butter and jelly made certain that no one was left hungry. Guests were encouraged to purchase wine directly from the vendors and ample storage was provided. Proceeds benefit The Colorado Association for Viticulture & Enology, a nonprofit based association. CAVE exists to encourage and support enology and viticulture in Colorado through many different interests. Be sure to check out the Colorado Mountain Winefest held each year the third week in September.

Cocktails for a Cause benefits Excelsior Youth Center By Glory Weisberg Cocktails for a Cause drew close to 300 women to the Cable Center recently. This is René Harding’s brainchild, starting five years ago with 37 women whom she invited to her backyard to start a nonprofit to benefit various different agencies, many focusing on helping women. Harding’s effort quickly outgrew that backyard and now holds quarterly parties at the Cable Center, which was filled to capacity on both floors. Fast forward to the present with the newest Cocktails for a Cause benefiting Excelsior Youth Center. This is the largest facility of its kind in the country, helping girls ages 11-18 overcome problems such as abuse, drug addiction, depression and social problems. The Aurora-based 37-acre campus now has 250 girls getting treatment. Thanks to Harding and 75 volunteers, a truckload of items that Executive Director Joan Gabrielson and staff listed needing are now in use. Sustaining support now comes from the Olive Society, women donating $250 a year to become a reliable source for the ongoing mission. Also helping out is local caterer, Serendipity, which fed guests with a buffet at no cost to Cocktails. The newest part of each event is a shopping area that is featuring frocks and accessories from the Wild Blue Boutique, owned by Debbie Schewe. Among firms and donors at this event were Kirk Montgomery, Leticia Ortiz, Pat Dougherty, Indulgence Cakes, Boozebling, Vino Passarelli, Eileen Logan, Pin and Tonic, Subtly Chic, Jeannie Russell, Fave Villano, Composer; As You Wish Personal Concierge & Event Planning, Beth Telford, CMT; Colorado Barrel Designs and many others. The next Cocktails for a Cause is Oct. 21. It will feature and benefit Families First. Information is at www.familiesfirstcolorado. org.

Le Bal de Ballet Debutante Ball continues pageantry
By Glory Weisberg he ever-exquisite Le Bal de Ballet Debutante Ball filled the Ellie Caulkins Opera House for the formal Debutante and Young Men of Distinction presentation, keeping the traditional pageantry of then transporting the honorees by open horse-drawn carriage to the Sheraton Downtown Denver Hotel as parents were liveried via limousines. Once at the hotel, the formality continued with a Grand March, dinner and dancing. Centennial resident Hillary Adams chaired the June 7 ball and she is a past Le Bal de Ballet Debutante herself. Denise Nalen was cochair, learning the ropes so she can chair the 2015 ball. Ginger Underwood was honorary chair, helping guide the committee, using the wisdom gained from her many years of activism on behalf of the guild.

FLEURISH St. Mary’s Academy is expanding to add a Community Center Building, which will add space for its arts programing for music, art and foreign languages, as well as an extended daycare center and a lunchroom. Courtesy rendering
Construction begins on St. Mary’s Academy expansion By Jan Wondra At its first June session, Cherry Hills Village City Council approved the building plans of St. Mary’s Academy, clearing the way for construction of a new, 22,0000 square foot Community Center Building wing to begin immediately. “This is an exceptionally welldone proposal,” said Mayor Doug Tisdale. “All the ‘I’s’ have been dotted and the ‘T’s’ crossed.” Community Development Manager Rob Zucaro walked City Council through the proposal that included a long check list of considerations, including clearance from the Denver Water and Sanitation Districts regarding site drainage, lighting plans, as well as traffic projections, and assurances that the intent of the expansion was not enrollment increases. “There are no changes to the driveway entries to University, and there will be no change in enrollment,” said Zucaro. “In fact, traffic related to the school has decreased since 1999, when enrollment was 881, to the current enrollment of 670. This is intended to serve the current enrollment better.” The center will be located south of the current middle school building, on the west side of the school campus. The new space will allow for enhanced music, drama and foreign language classes to be moved over to the Community Center Building, freeing up more space for lower and middle school classrooms in the current facility. The extended daycare and pre-kindergarten programs are moving to the new building, which will also hold a new lunchroom. “The elementary school kids, who have been eating lunch at their desks, will finally be able to go to a lunch room to eat,” said Diana Rael, principal of Architecture, whose firm is handling the project. The public hearing for St.
Mary’s Academy’s request for an expanded use permit was barely one minute long, reflecting the fact that the school had done its homework. “We held a community open house about the project last October, and did a spring meeting too,” said Rael. “It was very lowkey. There were no complaints and neighbors said they liked what they heard.” The school’s proposal passed Cherry Hills Village Planning and Zoning Commission in May. Questions from City Council focused on a requested parking variance and whether additional events at the school might increase traffic. Current onsite parking spaces total 343 and additional building square footage would require it to go to 427 spaces, based on current city code. “The proposal requests a variance of 84 spaces, and proposes to restrict use of the Bishop Evans Gym to only after school hours,” said Zucaro. “So concurrent events would be limited?” asked City Councilman Alex Brown. “Yes, the proposal specifically prohibits concurrent events,” said Zucaro. “This also will address any concerns over increased traffic on University during peak traffic hours.” “What about parking for the BMW Golf Tournament?” asked Councilman Mark Griffin. “Will the school still honor its commitment as a parking location?” “Yes,” said Charlie Arbogast, director of Advancement at St. Mary’s Academy. “Construction will not affect parking and we’re working directly with BMW.” Construction began the second week of June, with completion expected in spring 2015. “We’re delighted at the prospect of gaining more elbow room,” Arbogast said.
Notice to homeowners in foreclosure
“Homeowners whose homes were foreclosed through public trustee auction may have money waiting for them at their county public trustee’s office,” said Arapahoe County Public Trustee Cynthia D. Mares. If the home sold for more than the amount owed to the lender or other creditors, the former homeowner is due a refund. Mares is encouraging homeowners who are in the foreclosure process, or whose home has been foreclosed, to contact the appropriate public trustee’s office. The increase in home prices makes this more likely than in the past. A simple phone call will provide the answer.
Mares expressed concern about individuals, not associated with the public trustees office, directly contacting homeowners and asking for a fee to assist in obtaining a refund. Some of the fees are as high as 30 to 40 percent of the total refund. Using an agent to obtain the refund is not necessary. If a homeowner, who hired an agent, believes the fee was unreasonable they should contact the Office of the Colorado Attorney General or the Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation. Contact Cynthia D. Mares, Arapahoe County Public Trustee, at 303-730-0071.

‘Fighting Cancer Every Mile’ Texas 4000 bike ride gets warm reception in Greenwood Village By Glory Weisberg Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky declared June 15, 2014, Texas 4000 Fighting Cancer Day in the city. The Texas 4000 is an annual 4,000-mile bike riding effort to raise money to conquer cancer. Students at the University of Texas volunteer to join the bicycle ride, with more than enough students applying so the effort starts with the selection of 84 applicants who will take one of three routes from Austin to Anchorage, Alaska, aiming to raise $4,500 per rider with stops along the route for fundraising receptions and overnight stays at the homes of local supporters. This effort is an 18-month long program for each rider that includes training before the official ride. The Greenwood Village reception was held at the Sundance Hills Pool with what riders said was the biggest
reception they’d had this year. The local effort was spearheaded by Lori and Brent Snyder. Their son Seth Snyder, a former Greenwood Village resident and graduate of High Plains Elementary School, Campus Middle School and Cherry Creek High School, was part of the 2014 University of Texas graduating class. He and some other CCHS graduates are part of one team that attracted a lot of their friends to the barbecue. “We ride in support of cancer research,” riders said during the presentation, also declaring that the teams are ‘Fighting Cancer Every Mile.’” Their motivation comes from understanding that about 500,000 people in the U.S. will die of cancer this year. At the urging of team members, many guests raised their hands, replying with the names of people they knew who are now battling or who had battled the disease. Courtney Schutz is ride director and Seth Snyder is assistant ride director.
Seth noted that his grandmother is battling what started out as uterine cancer, while Schultz’s father battled multiple myeloid cancer and said, “I’d rather honor him than grieve for him.” Among sites receiving funds from the Texas 4000 effort are M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center as well as smaller nonprofits.

Schenbeck retires after 48 years as teacher, coach and AD
By Tom Barry After 48 years of being a high school math teacher, coach and athletic director, Tony Schenbeck is retiring. This esteemed educator, leader and administrator eventually wound up at Mullen and then went to Overland and then back to Mullen where he is retiring. The Gering, Neb., native and Big Red fan left his small town near Scottsbluff to attend Colorado State Teachers College in Greeley, which is now named the University of Northern Colorado. Upon graduation, his first job was teaching and coaching in Mead. This energetic and spirited coach then accepted a job at Mount Carmel Catholic School in north Denver, which went bankrupt that same spring. Schenbeck learned of a job opening for a teacher and a baseball coach at Mullen. A good friend then shared some wise advice before the interview, “Whatever Brother Bernard [principal] asks about teaching a particular subject, just tell him that ‘yes, you know the subject well.’” This young educator ended up getting his first big job and attended Loretto Heights and Regis College at night to stay a step ahead of the students, obtaining a minor in math. After 10 years at Mullen, he went on to become the first athletic

director at Overland High in 1978 when the new Cherry Creek School opened in Aurora. His sons, Mike and T.J., attended the new school and pursued sports like their dad. His daughter, Debbie, his oldest child, lives in Omaha with her family. This honored baseball coach attained 398 wins and 269 losses in his distinguished and successful career as a head coach. “I am most proud of the 1990 season at Overland, my youngest son T.J. pitched us to a state championship,” Schenbeck said of his most memorable baseball experience. “Mullen used to be thought of as an athletic school, I don’t think peo-
ple realize how academic this place really is when you look at our advance placement classes…this is a tremendously academic institution. And in a couple of years, we’ll be back athletically, as our enrollment gets back to what it should be,” he said. In the past, Regis and Creek, and early on Broomfield ,were Mullen’s main rivals. “In ’78 when we won it [state baseball championship] we had great kids then – holy cow – that was when the biggest classification was 3A … “… it is now time for me to raise 11 grandkids in the Denver area in athletics,” said the proud grandfather. Schenbeck and his wife, who just retired from Boulder Community Hospital as a nurse, plan to travel and spend time with their family. “It’s been a tremendous place, I always belonged here, it’s a tremendous school academically, athletically and socially,” said Schenbeck. The athletic, quick, witty and colorful Schenbeck said his current physical shape is due to walking and riding bikes. The coach then said, with a smile on his face, that he has gained only three pounds since he played quarterback in high school.

Submitted by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage The Denver Metro Area’s luxury housing market rebounded from a soft April to post sharp sales and price gains in May, according to a new report by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Colorado’s leading provider of luxury real estate services. The figures are based on Multiple Listing Service data of all homes sold for more than $1 million last month in the Denver metro area. A total of 127 luxury homes sold in May, up 24.5 percent from the 102 transactions in May 2013. On a monthly basis, sales jumped 36 percent from the previous month’s level of 93 transactions. Meanwhile, the median sale price climbed to $1,613,513 last month, up nearly 24 percent from
a year ago. The upper end of the luxury market was especially strong last month with 22 sales over $2 million, up from just 12 the previous month and 14 a year ago. Homes also sold much faster and sellers received a higher percentage of their asking price on average than May 2013. “Listings in the Denver metro area are gradually starting to increase, and that’s helping boost sales in the upper end of the market and giving pent-up buyers some relief,” said Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “The demand from well-qualified buyers has always been there, and now they’re finally having a little more to choose from. We’re hoping that this trend continues as we look toward the summer months.”
Some key findings from this month’s Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage luxury report: • The most expensive sale in the Denver metro area last month was a six-bedroom, four-bath approximately 12,800-squarefoot home in Denver that sold for $4.8 million • Denver boasted the most million-dollar sales with 36, followed by Boulder with 20, Greenwood Village with 12 and Cherry Hills Village with 11 • Homes sold in an average of 85.8 days on the market, down from 142 days a year ago and 96.1 days the previous month. Sellers received an average of 96 percent of their asking price, up from 95 percent a year ago but off fractionally from 97 percent the previous month.

Glass blowing maestro feted at Cherry Hills Village PAC event By Jan Wondra On a cloudless blue, early evening on June 1, the work of world-renowned international glass blower Lino Tagliapietra was honored by Cherry Hills Village. With horse grazing regally in the nearby fields, and beneath the cover of a festive tent, the guest of honor talked about his art, his work and the legacy of art to this world. The sold-out festivities were hosted at the Cherry Hills home of Ken and Trish Green, who brought the celebrated Italian glass artist from Italy for the event and hired Venice Restaurant to cater it. The event was a benefit for the Cherry Hills Village Public Art Commission, which was commissioned by Cherry Hills City Council to promote the placement and appreciation of public art throughout the Village. “Ken and I have been personal friends of Lino and his wife Lina for eight years,” said event hostess Trish Green. “We’ve been in their home in Milan and Lino graciously accepted our invitation to talk about who he is and how he got to this point. He and his wife Lina are such a team; she wasn’t able to be here for the event, but wishes she could have been.” Tagliapietra is known in international circles as “The Maestro,” for his great skill in creating works of art in glass, which are in museums and private collections around the world. With horses grazing just feet from him, Mayor Doug Tisdale issued a proclamation, “For his contribution to art and beauty, we’re thrilled to proclaim this day as Lino Tagliapietra Day in Cherry Hills Village.” “It was such a perfect evening,” said Green. “We could not have asked for a more gorgeous night, with nicer people, for a better cause, or have honored a more deserving artist.”

DTC|Greenwood Village Summerfest
Rollin’ Dreams for teens battling cancer
By Tom Barry It’s all in timing, as the DTC|Greenwood Village Summerfest coincided with the celebration of the Summer Solstice, June 21, at The Landmark. This hot summer day featured 130 vehicles, including muscle cars, vintage automobiles and remarkably rare cars at the third annual event, which was a benefit for the Rollin’ Dreams foundation. More than 4,000 children and adults enjoyed looking over the offerings and interacting with the owners of the vehicles. The car show event was held to honor and remember teenager Austin Williams, who died more than a year ago after battling cancer while in high school. Austin had a fascination at his young age for muscle cars. The nonprofit Rollin’ Dreams organization “was created to enrich the lives of teenagers with life threatening illnesses by providing activities and experiences for them during treatment of illness in order to decrease/combat the feelings of boredom and loneliness,” said Austin’s mother Dae Lyn LarcheSigman on stage at the event. She introduced the quests of honor, teenage cancer patients who received the opportunity to “own a car for a day”’ and take a cruise with the owner of the vehicle. Live bands performed on stage for the free event playing hit tunes from the ‘60s and beyond that could be heard loudly throughout the expansive Landmark overhead parking lot. Some of the owners toward the end of the event revved their engines, as puffs of smoke could be seen emitting from the tail pipes. The owners of the Vehicle Vault in Centennial carefully drove their showcase vehicle, a rare and extremely valuable 1954 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, to the show. The Vault in Centennial showcases an extensive collection of vehicles from classics to muscle cars and is constructing a new facility in Parker that will be open to the public. Twenty-five restaurants within the community donated the food that was sold to guests. Molson Coors provided the beverages while Reddy Ice and King Soopers supplied ice and water bottles. Nearly all proceeds went to the Rollin’ Dreams. “I have two loves, cars and kids, so having the opportunity to bring both together and the byproduct of raising money for children’s cancer, there is not a better hook up than you can get with that,” said Kent Stevenson, who along with his Stevenson Automotive team, was the primary sponsor of the successful event. Summerfest was headed by Stevenson, who resides in the Village and has auto dealerships in the Front Range. Twelve DTC|Greenwood Village Chamber members headed up subcommittees, while more than 120 chamber volunteers invested in excess of 10,000 hours over the last year to make this event a memorable success. “I just continually am impressed with the quality of people in the DTC/Greenwood Village community, their willingness to step up and help people less fortunate than themselves, and to turn out and have a good time with a few thousand of their neighbors and friends,” said John Herbers, president and CEO of the DTC|Greenwood Village Chamber.

The Vehicle Vault in Centennial provided the DTC|Greenwood Village Summerfest’s car show with the most popular vehicle, a rare and extremely valuable 1954 Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. The Vehicle Vault’s team includes Daniel Dilley, Erin Dilley, the owners and founders; Lauren Nelson and Jessica Reagan.

At the turn of the century, people sent holiday greetings for every occasion, including the Fourth of July.
T
By Rosemary Fetter he fledgling mining camp of Denver City/Auraria was less than a year old in 1859, yet droves of gold seekers were already on their way home. Disappointed that the Cherry Creek strike did not live up to advanced publicity, the remaining prospectors had little money but plenty of time to celebrate. As July Fourth approached, the Rocky Mountain News expressed the hope that “drunkenness or rowdiness will not be indulged in and we will not be called upon to report any shootings.” To keep celebrants in order, Marshal Tom Pollock and storekeeper “Uncle” Dick Wooten began Fourth of July festivities by leading a march through town. To the tune of Yankee Doodle, the odd assortment of whiskeysoaked miners, gamblers, hopeful merchants and earnest pioneers gathered at a cottonwood grove on the west bank of Cherry Creek. In lieu of a cannon salute, they placed two anvils together, filled the cavity with gunpowder and lit a match. The local agent for the Stage Company opened with a customary reading of The Declaration of Independence followed by a speech by James R. Shaffer, whose avalanche of words have been buried by time. According to the wry observations of onlooker Libeus Barney, the enthusiastic Mr. Shaffer “frequently wrapped himself in the Stars and Stripes – figuratively speaking, of course.” In a wild and patriotic flight of oratory, the speaker optimistically predicted a glorious future for the dusty little settlement, which he called, “the next San Francisco.” Settlers from Omaha provided the program’s finale, having brought their own brass instruments across the plains in a wagon. Followed by strains of The Star Spangled Banner and Hail Columbia, most of the crowd scattered to refresh themselves at one of the 31 surrounding saloons. A “benediction ball” at Independence Hall highlighted evening festivities, attended mostly by “sporting gentleman” – 50 males and seven females. By the following year, things looked brighter for the future Queen City of the Plains. Prospectors from the Clear Creek mining camps
At the turn of the century, people sent holiday greetings for every occasion, including the Fourth of July. joined Denverites for artillery salutes and a procession, and then assembled where Larimer Square and Writer’s Square now stand. As usual, the crowd was deluged by a torrent of oratory, although on the eve of the Civil War some friction arose between Southerners and the pro-Union majority. Some of the pioneer women made a silk flag to be kept by the city until Colorado was admitted to the Union. Due to the Civil War, trouble with the Native Americans and the territory’s conflicting sentiments about statehood, this took another 16 years. In 1861, Denver finally acquired a real cannon, produced at the city’s first foundry by Augustine Langford and Joseph Marshall. Cast from ores mined in South Boulder, the little gun acquired a certain distinction as the only piece of heavy artillery in the West. Three years later, worried Denverites mounted it on a fortification to protect the city from possible attack by the Arapaho and Cheyenne.
Denver was spared from an assault, and the cannon remained fired for the last time in 1876. Nearly 50 years later, the artillery would be rediscovered in the basement of the first state history museum at 14th and Sherman streets. The museum subsequently sent the cannon to Pueblo. The most elaborate Independence Day celebration of the 19th century took place in 1876, the year Colorado was admitted to the union. On July 1, Coloradans voted overwhelmingly for statehood (except El Paso County, dominated by conservative Colorado Springs). In Denver, the vote was 5,591 for and only 37 against statehood. A multi-block street pageant flowed through the city, led by territorial and city officials, the city departments, all secret and industrial societies and the military. Hundreds of citizens paraded in carriages and on foot to the old cottonwood grove, to be entertained until late night by fireworks, music and the inevitable political speeches. Several fires were accidentally lit that evening, although the only serious injury occurred when
someone fell off a streetcar. One mishap reported by Hook and Ladder No. 2 took place as the volunteer firemen rushed to a fire in west Denver. The brigade decided to avoid the crowded Larimer Street Bridge and take a shortcut across the sandbank, unaware that the slope of the bank had washed away. The entire outfit plunged headlong into Cherry Creek. The next Fourth of July spectacle in 1885 was prompted by a citywide switch from gas to electric lights. According to pioneer historian Joseph Smiley, Denver was only the third or fourth city in the world to change to electric streetlights. The Denver Consolidated Electric Company began by replacing gaslights at downtown street corners with incandescent lights supported by lampposts. In a flash of public relations genius, the electric company suspended thousands of colored lamps at the main downtown intersections during the three-day weekend. Having made itself extremely popular with Denverites, the
company was granted a contract renewal for another five years. The other big event during that July Fourth weekend was the long-awaited appearance of Old John Robinson’s three-ring circus. Led by a parade featuring a steam calliope, fife and drum corps and 50-cage menagerie, the troupe set up their tents at 23rd and Larimer, about a block from today’s Coors Field. Specialty acts included a team of Siberian roller skaters and the mysterious Madame Zarote, who reportedly could walk across the ceiling. For those who just wanted to leave town, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad offered excursions to Manitou and Colorado Springs for $2. Special trains also brought sightseers and circus lovers into Denver from outlying mountain and farming communities. Full page ads in the newspapers promoted a wide range of explosives, prompting the arrest that weekend of nearly 100 celebrants, mostly young men, for disturbing the peace. They were released at 12:01 a.m. on July 5 by a forgiving police department. The focus of Fourth of July celebration moved around the state occasionally, and in 1890, Pueblo held the spotlight. To boost tourism, local businessmen built a palace to call attention to Colorado’s mineral wealth. They intended to plate this grand structure with colored marbles, slates, mica, spar, pyrites and quartz, but unfortunately the money ran short. The final result was more modest, although the 25 highly ornamented domes were still impressive. On July 4, Pueblo held a grand parade from downtown to Mineral Palace Park, attended by 40,000 spectators who flocked to the palace afterwards. Along with music, fireworks and the usual festivities, a great barbecue sponsored by the city fed 8,000 Coloradans. Although the Park remains, the Palace was demolished in the 1930s.

Friends for Youth receives $7, 500 ‘Peyback’ grant Friends for Youth, a faith-based youth services and mentoring organization based in Centennial, has received a $7,500 direct grant from Denver Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning’s PeyBack Foundation. The grant, which will be used for program support, is one of 153 grants awarded by the PeyBack Foundation in 2014. The Foundation expanded its contributions to Denver-area non-for-profit agencies serving the needs of young people. “This is such a privilege for our staff and the young people we serve, to be in that elite
group of agencies that PeyBack has recognized for doing exemplary work among the at-risk youth who benefit from our direct involvement in their lives,” said Executive Director Terri Gillen. Friends for Youth, which began in 1989 mentoring juvenile justice offenders, has expanded its programming over the years to include four programs designed to help those youth most at risk succeed once they leave their support systems. Manning established the PeyBack Foundation in 1999 to promote the future
success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership and growth opportunities for children at risk. The Foundation focuses its efforts in a four-state region and has donated more than $7.5 million to youth organizations in Indiana, Tennessee, Louisiana and Colorado since its inception. The Foundation supports numerous organizations and programs through its grant program, but also operates and funds several of its own programs for underprivileged children. The Foundation carefully selects
programs that it can support financially and considers the grant program a partnership with these organizations, not just an exchange of money. Manning not only supports the PeyBack Foundation financially, as president of the foundation, and is active in all major decisions concerning its initiatives and constantly seeks new opportunities and organizations to further the success of the Foundation. Friends for Youth has embarked on a new gang-prevention program in Aurora Public Schools, which offers life skills as an alter-
native to the lure of gang involvement. The agency has evolved into a sustainable, independent organization that provides unique mentoring services in the Denver metro area, serving youth at the highest levels of the risk continuum, older teens, those who are the most difficult to access in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and to help them navigate an important time in their lives. The PeyBack Foundation reported receiving more than 600 grant requests for its round of grants in the four states it serves.

Heritage High hosts inaugural summer basketball tourney Continental League ‘slam dunks’ Centennial League, 37 wins to 11
By Tom Barry Littleton’s Heritage High School organized and successfully conducted one of the state’s most competitive basketball tourneys of the summer, the Continental vs. Centennial League Challenge. The contests between the highly ranked Continental and Centennial leagues began June 19 and finished June 21. Sixteen teams from two of Colorado’s prominent conferences battled on the hardwood. Schools from the Cherry Creek, Douglas County school districts along with Mullen and Regis provided coaches, players, families and fans a sneak preview for next season, which commences in early November. These top schools combined have garnered many of the state championships over the last few decades. ThunderRidge dominated the basketball contest with a six and zip record. “All the games were competitive but in the end, the Continental League has the 2014 bragging rights as the best conference in the state,” said Jentry Byleveld, Heritage’s varsity boys’ basketball head coach. “It was a great tournament and coaches have already committed to doing it next year.” The Continental League handily defeated their crosstown rivals with 37 wins compared to Centennial’s 11 victories. More than 12 parent volunteers from Heritage assisted in the notable tourney. Eighteen Eagles basketball players also volunteered between their contests. Arapahoe, Mullen and Overland can always bounce back and be competitive in the upcoming season. The team’s respective talent under the exceptional capabilities and resourcefulness can turn around these programs with four months before the season begins. These teams lost a lot of varsity players in the recent graduations. The tourney provided coaches an early indication of their team’s actual strengths and weaknesses they will address in summer camps and in the workout room.

A ‘wild’ new approach to higher education
C
By Jan Wondra ome fall, two of the University of Denver’s campuses, the Anschutz Medical campus and the Denver campus, will begin offering courses and classes in the south metro area, meeting a demand for higher education in the business, education, computer science, nursing and public health fields. It came about due to an innovative collaboration with The Wildlife Experience, just off I-25 and Lincoln, at Peoria. It wasn’t something the CU Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus went looking for, but in hindsight, it makes perfect sense. “When you have one of these institutions, you have more than enough on your plate,” said Chancellor Don Elliman. “I’d never looked at the south Denver market. You’d think you’d know, but when we were approached by The Wildlife Experience less than a year ago, I went ‘Damn that sounds like a hell of an opportunity,’ and from there, things have moved quickly.” While academic changes normally move at a glacial pace, according to Elliman, construction of the 11,000square-feet expansion is racing ahead for use this fall. It includes two, 48-
