Resurgence of Englewood’s ‘Main Street’ evokes colorful history
Longtime Englewood resident Doug Cohn, the city’s 2017 Citizen of the Year, spent his teens cruising— sometimes speeding— down South Broadway. The intersection of history and resurgence is now what drives him.

For Doug Cohn, Englewood’s South Broadway doubles as Memory Lane. “For a dollar, you’d get two movies, two cartoons, a bunch of newsreels in the middle, and candy and a drink,” he said of his long-ago trips to the Gothic Theater, then a movie house. Walk two blocks, and across the street stands the current home of Lighting Outlet. “That’s the old JC Penney store. When I was in high school, I got my first credit card there. They weren’t sure they wanted to give me one,” Cohn said with a laugh. Much has changed since the 1950s and early ‘60s—the price of popcorn, the least of it—when this stretch of Broadway between the Gothic and Hampden Avenue was Cohn’s teenage haunt. Although now in resurgence with younger-skewing bars and retailers, and the Gothic’s pricier era as a concert venue, change has come with ebbs and flows, bouts with the wrecking ball, damaging fires
and the controversial death of a business-improvement district. “In the 1950s, this was called the richest retail mile in the country,” Cohn said. “There was a Walgreens, Woolworths and May D&F before they opened Cinderella City.” The nearby shopping mall, once the largest west of the Mississippi, would benefit the area, but eventually marked the decline of Broadway, with the mall’s newfangled singalong ice cream store and Cinder Alley streetlamps replacing Broadway’s oldschool malt shops and matinees. In turnabout, the mall’s demise—Englewood Civic Center now sits on Cinderella’s grave—would ironically signal the birth of new urbanism, the reinvention of South Broadway’s “old urbanism,” and its new role as a now-burgeoning mixed-use neighborhood. With new apartments adjacent new bars and restaurants, a short walk from light rail, trend watchers believe Englewood is well poised to attract millennials, the ostensibly lifestyle-conscious generation that will soon constitute half the nation’s workforce. Oddly enough, it was this slow revitalization that in 2015 unseated Cohn from his half-century-old family-owned hobby shop, which spent its last 16 years in the historic Oddfellows lodge building at the corner of Broadway and Englewood

Parkway. “The landlord said I’m going to fix the building all up and you won’t be able to afford to live here anymore,” recalled Cohn, 70. “The hobby store was kind of like the Cheers store without the whiskey. There was one group of guys that started playing Dungeons and Dragons at our store in 1978 and they played every single Saturday until we closed. I still miss it.”
A human pin setter
Eighty-five-year-old Englewood native Don Reinke spent his formative years—as well as most of his money as a teenager—in the 3200 block of South Broadway. At the corner of Floyd Avenue now sits the Whiskey Biscuit, a new restaurant known for its LoDoish vibe on Gothic concert nights. But 70 years ago, this was home to Miller’s grocery store, where 12-year-old Reinke learned life’s lessons while hauling bags of meat and vegetables to the parking lot. He was fired one day for accepting a quarter tip from a customer. “It was good times, but everybody was poor,” Reinke said. “My mother had a charge account, and once every week she would pay the bill and it would total maybe a buck and a half. For a kid—or anybody—25 cents was a lot of money.” Sometimes Reinke would spend whatever he had in one place—the Gothic for a movie or three, before struggling with a tough choice: A hamburger or a bus ride home. When the burger won out, Reinke would make the mile-plus walk home in the dark. At the time, Continued on Page 11

Media meddling: Russians are not the U.S. foes Mort, Mort, Mort, you crusty old GI combat veteran who actually met and exchanged cigarettes for vodka with Russian troops in Prague at the end of World War II. Too many Americans have forgotten that we were allies with the Russians to smash the Nazis’ during World War ll. Yes, we had our differences with the Soviets prior to the dissolution of their empire and the reduction of their nation, giving up such states as the Ukraine and Crimea, both essential parts of the old U.S.S.R. The Russians have reclaimed Crimea, and no doubt would like to have their breadbasket Ukraine back in the fold. This is a Russian dispute with some of their former states and formerly Soviet people. It is really none of our business and we should stay out of this fight. In regard to the Russian election meddling, the United States meddles more in foreign affairs than any other country in the world. We have vast arsenals of troops and weapons placed in strategic locations, ranging from Germany, Japan, Turkey, South Korea, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and many more countries. Spy planes fly around the world taking photographs and images of foreign nations. Remember the Obama era incident of tapping Angela Merkel’s phones. The old U.S.S.R., now the new Russian regime, has been invaded 13 times in its history, from Napoleon to Hitler.
Barbwire Bob Spent a few days cruising around the Vail Valley this past week with wife Gerri and longtime friend Judith Girard, whose husband Larry passed away a decade ago. We became acquainted through Arapahoe County politics when he was a district GOP captain and later county chairman. Judith, a veteran gardener, just sold her home in the Southglenn neighborhood and moved into a nearby senior apartment complex, where she is growing tomatoes on her balcony. One of the highlights of Vail is the Sunday morning Farmer’s Market where the food vendors really go all out with crepes, beef jerky, brats, jams and barbecue. At least 1,000 people line the closed street for the event that occurs every Sunday during the summer months. *** Coming up this coming July 21-23 is the annual Western Conservative Summit
They are paranoid about their borders with good reason. During the 1917 revolution, the U.S. even had some brief military incursions on Russian soil. Thanks to Republican President Ronald Reagan, we defeated the U.S.S.R. without firing a single shot. “Tear down this wall,” proclaimed our president—and Mikhail Gorbachev tore down the wall. A great victory for the president, the unification of Germany and better relations with the Russians. Communism ceased to be a force in the world with hybrid forms of communism mixed with free enterprise in China. The experiment has ruined Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela, where a brand of communism and socialism have people hard pressed to escape starvation. The U.S. news media have gone crazy over distorting the Russians, making them the worst enemy of the United States and using the last election to sour U.S. and Russian cooperation. Together, the Russians and the United States can wipe out the real threat that is ISIS and the Islamic terrorist caliphates that are spreading like wildfire to many Mideast locations. Once again, we need to cooperate with allies and the Russians to bring peace to this world, not more conflicts and wars. We should be drinking more vodka with our U.S. cherry pie.

This three-day event starts on Thursday, July 20, and runs through Saturday, July 23, with car auctions beginning daily at 10 a.m. There is an admission charge of $30. Mecum officials hosted the Rocky Mountain Auto Press at a luncheon last week to explain to auto writers about their 14 auto auctions they hold across America, including the Denver show. Mecum is based in Walworth, Wis. and is returning to Denver for its third annual auction. David Morton, manager of communications and John Kraman, director of consignments and a TV commentator, spoke to the auto writers. The more expensive cars go to Saturday and the fees increase on consigning a vehicle as the days and hours pass by.

Mecum charges sellers a 10 percent fee to both buyers and sellers, along with a listing fee. They have contingency sales so buyers don’t always sell their cars and trucks for their asking bid price. Apparently, there is an aftermarket when buyers and sellers can negotiate further. If you browse late night TV, you will often see these auctions on MSNBC and other related channels. They are now using Facebook live broadcasts as well as the filmed programs shown at later dates. Mecum claims to be the best price setter for classic and vintage autos with recorded bid sale prices in America. They will have many buyers and sellers coming from across the Midwest. *** What a weekend with conservatives and car connoisseurs all in the same Convention Center.

Take some responsibility, Villager! We were disappointed and put off by Peter Jones’s June 29 “Scars from the Subarea wars.” The Villager’s news editor shifts the entire blame for the erroneous June 8 frontpage headline “Greenwood Village approves Subarea” onto his co-worker, referring to her as “bleary-eyed Becky” Osterwald. Jones takes no responsibility for the headline blunder. He says on Election Day he wrote alternate headlines, one of which would be used depending on the election results. Then he headed home. Why couldn’t he stay a little later on a big election night to make sure The Villager’s headline was accurate about this very important subject? Why does the news editor go out of his way to write an article putting the blame on someone else? And where was Publisher Bob Sweeney on
election night? Self-titled “Barbwire Bob.” a nickname apparently comparing him to a cowboy, must have been sound asleep by the campfire. Cowboys don’t stop until the day’s work is done, but Barbwire Bob failed to corral the wrong headline. The buck really stops with him as the person in charge, but he hasn’t taken any responsibility either. He seems to be fine with passing blame to an underling. The mistaken headline on the results of an election of high importance to Villager subscribers was bad. The failure of Jones and Sweeney to take any responsibility may be worse. They should “man up” as leaders at The Villager. Norm and Susan Ruggles Cherry Hills Village

Honoring those who died in the service of this nation The cowardly act of violent destruction of a pane on the Colorado Freedom Memorial is an unpatriotic act against the legacy of those Colorado service members who willingly gave their lives in the defense of our liberty. The Colorado Freedom Memorial honors more than 6,000 Colorado soldiers, sailors and airmen who died during times of war. The honored Colorado dead served in the Spanish America War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan wars. As a disabled Vietnam veteran, this act of violence hits me personally. Many of those who fought with me years ago have their names on this beautiful and respectful memorial.
The Colorado Freedom Memorial continues to provide a quiet and respectful place for those family members and fellow veterans to remember and honor those who were lost to them. Whatever motivated these individuals who destroyed this expensive pane is unclear. However, the response from the people of Aurora was swift in their gesture. Last week, Rick Crandall, local radio personality and founder of the Colorado Freedom Memorial Foundation, organized a community fundraiser at the Colorado Freedom Memorial site, raising more
$250,000
than $70,000 in contributions. More financial support is needed to install a video security system to protect the memorial from any potential intruder and to pay for additional amenities at the site. Rick and Diane Crandall have worked tirelessly for nearly two decades to bring the concept of the Colorado Freedom Memorial to fruition. Let’s not let this cowardly, unpatriotic act of disrespect go without a strong answer from this city that says no to those who disrespect our nation’s legacy of freedom. I would urge those who have yet to contribute to the Colorado Freedom Memorial do so by sending your contribution to: Colorado Freedom Memorial, PO Box 472333, Aurora, CO 80047-2333.

OPINION
Is single-payer healthcare really the panacea for the U.S.?
I always have a moment of angst when I see my name in a headline, as I did last week in The Villager. What did I step in now? Am I in trouble? Not this time. Instead, fellow columnist Becky Osterwald agreed with me on some of my ideas regarding healthcare reform. It’s not all kumbaya however, as we disagree on single payer as a fix for the havoc caused by Obamacare and other aspects of our healthcare insurance and payment mess. Note I didn’t criticize our healthcare, as the United States has the best in the world. It’s the financing and delivery that isn’t working. Single payer means one entity paying everyone’s medi-
cal bills, specifically BY BRIAN C. the government via JOONDEPH taxpayers. Why not? We all have a right to medical care, don’t we? It’s in the Constitution somewhere. Or in the Declaration of Independence. Perhaps in the Gettysburg Address. Or not. I previously wrote here about healthcare as a right versus a privilege. We already have three versions of single payer—Medicare, Medicaid and the VA. How are they working? Medicare provides good coverage for 55 million elderly, except that many physicians are not accepting new Medicare patients. Funded by payroll taxes, Medicare will eventually run out of money as fewer workers are supporting a greater number of retirees. Not to mention
the fraud and abuse that we regularly read about in the news. Medicaid provides taxpayerfunded medical care for 75 million low-income individuals. If you think it’s tough for a Medicare recipient to find a doctor, it’s even more difficult for someone with Medicaid. Not only individual physicians, but even many of the specialty clinics at CU Anschutz Hospital don’t accept Medicaid patients. Lastly is the VA system with endless stories of fraud, waste and abuse. Secret wait lists. Incompetent administrators receiving obscene bonuses for denying care to veterans. If the government takes over medical care for everyone via a single-payer scheme, expect this dysfunction to affect all 320 million Americans. For comparison, how is single payer working out in our
northern neighbor Canada? Sen. Bernie Sanders and other Democrats rave about Canadian healthcare. The Fraser Institute, a Canadian public-policy think tank, looked at wait times for medical care. If you have a medical problem in Canada, your first stop is your local GP. If they can handle the problem, the story ends there. If not, then they refer you to a specialist who runs tests and plans a course of treatment. The wait time in 2015 from GP referral to specialist treatment was on average 20 weeks or five months. Good luck waiting that long with a bad heart, painful knee or cancerous tumor. What if you need a diagnostic scan in Canada? The wait for a CT scan is four weeks, and 11 weeks for an MRI scan. What’s the rush?
Which is why 52,000 Canadians received nonemergency medical treatment outside Canada in 2014. Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams chose to have his heart valve replaced in Florida, rather than waiting for care in his province. Single payer sounds good in theory. but would in reality be more like an amalgam of the compassion of the IRS and the efficiency of the DMV. Congress, in its dysfunction (another point where Becky and I agree), may eventually throw up its hands in exasperation trying to repeal and replace Obamacare, giving us single payer instead. If you think things are bad now, just wait. The medical care you want may not cost you anything, but you may wallow in pain or even die waiting for whatever care you finally get.

The council had asked the facility to install more parking lot cameras and security equipment prior to the July 17 deadline for the liquor-license renewal. After the city requests were met, the new liquor license was renewed by an 8-0 vote. The management had been forced to close its Thursday ladies’ night after
neighborhood complaints. In other actions on July 17, the council approved the formation of a new service plan for the Harrison Oaks Metropolitan District to serve 11 residential home sites across from Glenmoor Country Club. The new metropolitan district will eventually elect five board members from residents of the new subdivision. During an early study session on the issue, representatives of the Greenwood Vil-
lage Athletic Club and Greenwood Metropolitan District held an informal discussion about the future of the Greenwood Athletic Club and the gifting of it to the city in 2030. The discussion swirled around debts, bonds and updating understandings between the city and the club. The club is rated as one of the three best athletic facilities in the United States, celebrating its 30th anniversary this month.

Healthy lands, healthy communities, healthy people Arapahoe County awards open-space grants The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners celebrated the distribution of $16.4 million in project funding by the Open Space program during a June 16 ceremony, funding made possible by the voters of Arapahoe County. Grants and awards were distributed to local cities, towns and eligible special districts during the county’s Open Spaces Shareback and Grant award ceremony held each June. “The projects that we work on, in partnership with local agencies, continue to make a dramatic impact on the beauty of our landscape in Arapahoe County,” Commissioner Kathleen Conti, District 1, said. “Thanks to the voters who continue to support the Open Space Sales and Use Tax, we are able to fund outstanding park, trail and openspace projects for our community to enjoy today and long into the future.” Arapahoe County citizens first had the vision to approve the Open Space Sales and Use Tax in 2003 and again in 2011. The quarter-of-a-penny sales and use tax is dedicated to preserve open space, enhance parks, build trail connections and protect our heritage areas. Since its inception, the Open Space program has built or improved 214 miles of trail, participated in more than 150 park and trailhead projects,

CoPIRG to knock on 1,600 doors in Greenwood Village SUBMITTED BY CoPIRG Colorado Public Interest Research Group organizers are going door to door across Colorado, building support to protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. A team of organizers will be organizing in Greenwood Village during July. They plan to knock on 1,600 doors in Greenwood Village, have 600 conversations and collect 200 petitions from citizens. “We’re working to make sure that Coloradans are protected from shady Wall Street practices,” said Danny, Colorado PIRG campaign director. Eight years ago, reckless behavior on Wall Street cost millions of Americans their college savings, retirement accounts and even their homes. After that crisis, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was established. Its sole job is to make sure big banks and financial companies don’t take advantage of average consumers. The Trump administration and some leaders in Congress are working to weaken this agency or even eliminate it. The Financial Choice Act, which was voted on in the House of Representatives the first week of June, would have a devastating effect on the capacity of regulators to protect the public interest and defend consumers and investors from future Wall Street wrongdoing and the economy from financial risks created by too-big-tofail financial institutions. It sends the wrong signal to the financial sector that unfettered risk taking—much of it with other people’s money—is in vogue again.

Continued from Page 1 there were few streetlights and little but desolation between Broadway’s epicenter and the Reinkes’ home on South Sherman Street. “I was scared all the way,” he said. “Once you got past the 4500 block on South Broadway, there wasn’t much out there. From Belleview on south, it was a dirt road.” With an appetite for burgers and Tom Mix Westerns, Reinke was soon working again, this time as a human pin setter at Sports Bowl, next door to Miller’s. Although the place is, amazingly, still a bowling alley—now part of Moe’s Original Bar B Que—the wonders of technology have made working there a lot less hazardous. “You had to be careful and look up the alley to make sure whoever was up there wasn’t going to throw another ball at you. Sometimes they did,” Reinke said. The teenager would quit that job in favor of being captain of the football and basketball teams at Englewood High School.

Englewood was described as five bars, two ‘sporting houses’ and a grocery store. - Doug Cohn, Englewood Historical Preservation Society Cruising Broadway

days to slowly saunter the three-block center of Downtown Englewood on foot. In walking southward from the Oddfellows, he passes Palango! fitness, home to the Englewood Herald in the 1930s and ‘40s. Next up, a building that has gone from ice cream sodas to mixed drinks—the “cool” Puritan Creamery is now the “hip” Englewood Grand. The smokes of longstanding Edward’s Tobacco are chased by Brews on Broadway at the former site of Wilson’s, another of the neighborhood’s onetime grocers. One must squint in the open area next door— which now constitutes BOB’s patio and that of a soon-to-open Asian bistro—to imagine the site of a since-burned-down Woolworths. Decades before that, it was the grand entrance to the turn-of-the-century Tuileries amusement park. “They did vaudeville things and had ice skating, canoes on the river and hot-air balloons. They had motorcycle races, until one killed a few audience members,” Cohn says. A few doors down is a reminder of why the family-friendly Tuileries came to town in the first place: The Paradox Lounge, a no-frills bar that was reportedly the site of one of the brothels that once marked this stretch of historic Broadway. “Englewood was described as five bars, two Continued from Page 12

It’s the emerging cool. I think we’re turning that corner. - Englewood Mayor Joe Jefferson
Photo by Peter Jones
Cohn says. “They had bars on all the windows and the bars were not removable, so the guys were stuck inside.”
The emerging ‘cool’
Englewood Mayor Joe Jefferson, 35, grew up on South Broadway, as the son of immigrant-turned-entrepreneur Shiou Jefferson, the longtime owner of the neighborhood’s popular Twin Dragon Chinese restaurant. “This area was happening,” he said of his childhood as a sometime waiter or dishwasher. “My mom had the most exotic food in town. I think she was the first person in the state of Colorado to make crab-cheese wontons. We had a line out the door in the ‘80s.” Jefferson watched the neighborhood itself grow up— and down—thriving during the heights of Cinderella City and meandering in the lows of the recession. Even the ‘20sera Gothic Theater survived a close call with the wrecking ball in the late 1990s. As a mayor on the upper end of the millennial generation, Jefferson is a cheerleader for South Broadway’s re-emergence as a commercial hub. [His law offices and residence are just a few doors from his mother’s venerable eatery.] With a slate of new restaurants on the horizon, Jefferson is excited about his neighborhood’s walkability and economic boon. Before the summer is over, just the west side of the 3400 block is expected to welcome Asian fusion, vegetarian, a destination pub, and the long-awaited return of the popular El Tepehuan Mexican restaurant. Even Cherry Creek North’s Scented Studio has made the move. “We’re seeing just a huge influx of cool places,” Jefferson said. The mayor has also been front and center on the new Final Friday, which sees local bars, restaurants and retailers offer special promotions and entertainment on the last Friday of each month—including next week’s July 28. Jefferson gives credit to the Community Service Apparel and
Positive Vibes stores for kicking off the idea. “If we can encourage local buying and playing, I think that’ll have a substantial impact on our local economy,” he said. “If they show the Broadway corridor is happening, that’s going to go a long way toward changing perceptions of the city.” Even the Paradox Lounge, which has worn the “dive” mantle proudly for years, is upping the ante and participating under new ownership, the mayor added. He expects an art element and live music to be recurring during the Friday celebrations. “It’s the emerging cool,” Jefferson said. “I think we’re turning that corner.”

County expands Aurora Motor Vehicle Office for future growth Citizens will notice improvements at Arapahoe County’s Aurora Motor Vehicle Office, including a larger waiting area, improved seating, additional customer service windows and fresh décor. The Clerk and Recorder’s Office recently expanded the Aurora Branch Office at 490 S. Chambers Road to better serve customers and prepare for future growth. This location is the busiest motor-vehicle office, serving 250,000 customers last year. The county spent approximately $600,000 to convert a former church next door into additional office space. The project added 5,000 square feet to the already 11,000-square-foot facility, which serves residents with motor-vehicle titles and registration, marriage licenses and voter registration. “We know that Aurora is
flourishing and our branch office was already bursting at the seams,” Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said. “On our busiest days, citizens had to stand or sit on the floor to wait for services. That’s simply not acceptable and we were committed to expanding the branch to provide a more comfortable and professional environment.” The project added a second public restroom and nine service windows for a total of 31. Wooden pews were replaced with contemporary beam seating with lumbar support. New amenities for the branch’s 29 employees included a training room, conference room, kitchenette and cubicle area. The renovations also included new paint, window coverings and carpets, as well as refacing the exterior signage. The project was paid for out of the county’s Capital
Improvement Fund, which is reserved for large onetime expenses. Arapahoe County also explored options to move the Aurora Branch to a larger building. However, given high demand for commercial real estate, expanding was the most cost-effective option, officials say. Crane will request additional employees for the Aurora Branch in the 2018 budget, which is subject to approval by the Board of Commissioners. Since Crane took office in 2013, 10 positions have been added to the motor-vehicle workforce to help keep pace with the population growth, for a total of 115 employees in four locations. For more information about motor-vehicle services in Arapahoe County and to see wait times and plan your visit, call 303-795-4500 or visit arapahoegov.com/ dmv.

GMC Sierra Denali is powerful crew cab BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST
It isn’t too often that one gets to test drive a $64,045 GMC crew cab Sierra Denali 1500. We didn’t have these expensive pickups back in the old farm and ranch days. This is an exotic “dark slate metallic” vehicle with final assembly in Mexico with a U.S. engine and transmission. Those craftsmen knew what they were doing, achieving a perfect five-star safety rating on this truck. The Denali is powered by a V8 ECOTEC engine that can pull 7,200
pounds and averages 17 mpg on city streets and 20 mpg on the highway. This crew cab is designed for either a heavy-duty work site or a great family truck to pull a boat or trailer. The transmission can be maintained in the drive mode or shifted to the eight-speed sequential mode where a push button control on the gear shift offers eightspeeds for maximum fuel economy and power. A truck capable of pulling a heavy load needs good brakes, and — Continued from page 21 —

GMC has four-wheel anti-lock disk brakes with Duralife rotors. The truck also has the safety feature of forward collision alert with flashing lights and seat vibrations when getting too close to a forward object. Also, a lane-assist warning if the truck strays across a highway line. What I liked best about this crew cab was how nimble and versatile it handled. For a large truck, it maneuvered like a sedan. The leather bucket seats were heated and cooled, and there is a heated steering wheel for those winter trips to work or play. The engine and transmission worked very well together, and while horsepower was not listed, this is a powerful and fast truck. Fuel economy dictates use of the highergear speeds and lower rpm’s. GMC offers a five-year 60,000mile powertrain warranty. No doubt that local Chevrolet and GMC dealers offer special summer savings on this great outdoor vehicle. It is very versatile and seats five passengers in comfortable air conditioning with a power sunroof. Great for vacation and room for a camper or pulling a heavy load. Something to be said when General Motors dealerships in almost every city in America are ready to service this vehicle.

Coffman awards Congressional Medals to local students U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman recently presented Silver Congressional Medals to Evelyn Bodoni of Centennial and Jason Zhang of Highlands Ranch.
U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman recently presented the Congressional Award Medal to two outstanding students in Colorado’s 6th Congressional District. The Congressional Award, established in 1979 as a bipartisan and public-private partnership, recognizes initiative, achievement and service in young people. “I am honored to present the Congressional Medals this year to Evelyn and Jason.” Coffman said. “They both have demonstrated an incredible amount of initiative, and achievement in the common good of our community. I am proud that these students have represented the 6th District of Colorado in the most outstanding of ways.” Coffman presented Silver Congressional Medals to Evelyn Bodoni of Centennial and Jason Zhang of Highlands Ranch. Evelyn, a student at Challenge School, was awarded the Silver Congressional Medal for her more than 200 hours of community service and for having expanded and diversified the scope of her nonprofit, the Colorado Wheelchair (First published June 22, 2017) By: Barbara Setterlind, CMC City Clerk Published in The Villager Published: July 20, 2017 Legal # 7566 ____________________________

Additionally, she applied for a grant that offered underprivileged children the ability to attend six weeks of fullday fencing summer camps and completed a community-service project that aims to deliver toys for hospitalized children. Jason, a student at Littleton Academy, was awarded the Silver Congressional Medal for his more than 200 hours of volunteer service at a local nursing home. This provided him the opportunity to better understand patients with Alzheimer’s, a condition he is interested in. Jason also participated in the Ronald McDonald House program cooking meals every holiday for families of cancer patients. All of this, while finding time to swim daily as a member of the Littleton Academy swim team. To earn the Bronze, Silver, or Gold Congressional Award, each participant sets and achieves goals in four key areas: Voluntary public service, personal achievement, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration. The participants set out to achieve these goals along with the help of their parents, teachers, club leaders, and other adult volunteers to provide mentorship and encouragement along the way.

A cerebral action film, Apes ROCKS! BY PAUL HALL AHumans and apes. Are we really that different from each other? Our sense of community, our quest for survival, our emotions, whether buried or released, are all the same for both species. In the new film War for the Planet of the Apes, we simultaneously celebrate and despise the similarities of the two species. As the wildly unpredictable Colonel (Woody Harrelson) escalates the battle with the apes, Caesar (Andy Serkis) is forced to fight to preserve the species he loves. Though Caesar has always kept an open mind about humans, there are moments that will push even the most level-headed individual over the edge. And when that breaking point is met, it becomes war. As the apes struggle to survive, their human foes capture and exploit them for the Colonel’s special project. The apes work with little food or water and are used for their strength and ability to follow orders.
With their leader Caesar now in captivity with them, the apes realize that they must rise up to end this evil situation. And Caesar knows they must do it soon. Set in a beautiful environment, this Apes film deserves to be seen on a big screen with no distractions. We need to be able to think about what we are experiencing. And when we think about it, the parallels to humanity through the years are amazing. That realization will have you in tears at times as we see the abuse that the apes are subjected to for no reason other than that they are apes. Director Matt Reeves weaves an amazing combination of big action sequences and quiet compelling moments and delivers the film one would hope to get. Despite Reeves’ work and all he brings to the film, the films in this new Apes revival would be nothing without the talents of Andy Serkis. Although he is motion-captured in his performance as Caesar,
he delivers the emotion necessary to make the leader of the apes more than just a caricature. Serkis is able to infuse himself into the role of Caesar, and isn’t that what we look for in an actor? It’s a master class, by a true master. There are moments that are quiet and slow the pace, but they just add to the mystique of the film. Let there be no question: The winner of War for the Planet of the Apes is moviegoers everywhere. It’s a cerebral action film and I am enamored with it. War for the Planet of the Apes Rated PG-13 Stars: Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Amiah Miller Director: Matt Reeves

Create an endless summer in your kitchen remodel SUBMITTED BY BKC KITCHEN AND BATH
Whether it’s one of your first summers in Colorado, or you’ve weathered the seasons for a long time, Coloradans love their 300 days of sunshine a year. If you dream of dinners on the patio during cold winter
months, why not bring elements of summer into your kitchen remodel? While enjoying the long days and nice weather, take a moment to consider what aspects of summer could be brought into your kitchen.

flooring, tile and countertops that showcase natural elements, such as stone, pebbles, recycled glass and wood.
Outlets to the outside
During summer, a large glass doorway leading to the backyard can ease traffic flow. In winter, this doorway can bring extra light and warmth to your kitchen. Oversized doors are great for adding a sense of continuity between your home and the natural world outside without compromising on comfort. While you’re enjoying your summer cookouts and relishing in the sunshine, think about how you can bring elements of the outdoors into your kitchen remodel. For more information and design assistance, contact us.
Continuous elements
Create an extended sense of space by adding continuity between the inside and the outside of your home. Ask your kitchen designer about incorporating exterior cabinets constructed to withstand heat, cold, and moisture. Having an outdoor kitchen area that connects to your indoor kitchen is a great way to entertain during the summer and will provide more options for cooking and grilling. Outdoor cabinets are equally useful for storing seasonal items when not in use. To further develop a cohesive look, choose
