Greenwood Village celebrates community with families
G
By Tom Barry reenwood Village pulled out all of the stops to celebrate their community at the 27th annual Greenwood Village Day, July 27, at Village Greens Park. More than 5,000 residents participated in this year’s event. “Flying High” was this year’s theme, as city staffers planned events for young and old alike. Kids, teens, parents and grandparents residing in Greenwood Village parked in the Cherry Creek High School north parking lot and walked to the city’s park. This was not just any regular carnival with rides but literally an extravaganza for city residents. This was more like a mini state fair and much larger than most carnivals and community events at a mall. There was a full carnival with rides and activities that ranged from a climbing wall, a massive slide and an aboveground obstacle course. The youngsters enjoyed a colorful train ride, sometimes with parents onboard, along with a carousel and a Tornado for those with stronger stomachs. Additionally, there were numerous interactive booths for the younger children to enjoy. Kids had an opportunity to paint on a canvas using large paint rollers, make a plaster cast of their hand, have their faces painted or paint a separate community art project sponsored by Bark for Art who painted a ceramic dog. Residents began to leave as the rain came down and the fireworks were postponed at 7:20 p.m. due to rain and a lightening detector Continued on page 13 Kelly Dexter watches her son Kaiden, 11, bounce on the bungee jump trampoline during Greenwood Village Day. “This is our second year, a great community event, brilliant,” Kelly said.
Western Welcome Week marks 85 10-day event has ‘something for (almost) everyone’
By Peter Jones Western Welcome Week’s theme this year is “Spirit of the West” – not that the West and its historic quaintness have ever been absent from the time-honored goings-on. Littleton’s 85-year-old mainstay has always been defiantly traditional, surviving the digital revolution, economic downturns, including the Great Depression, and the inevitable onslaught of more contemporary and “hipper” festivals.

WWW themed “Spirit of the West” Continued from Page 1
The week is comprised of more than 50 events comprise the week that has long outlived the seven days implied by its alliterative name. The schedule runs the gamut, from the popular parade and fireworks show to gold panning on the Platte, a fishing derby, a pancake breakfast, a swing dance and the ever-popular rubber ducky race. Most events are either free or very affordable. New to this year’s 10-day week, Aug. 9-18, is the Littleton Criterion bicycle race on Aug. 11. The week’s event roster also includes a formal welcome to a delegation from Bega, Australia, Littleton’s sister city, on Aug. 15 in Bega Park. The block of Rio Grande Street that runs though the park will be
rechristened Bega Street. Cindy Hathaway knows about as much about Western Welcome Street as anyone. The longtime resident has been attending the events for nearly four decades and has been involved as a booster, volunteer and staff member for 30 years. Today, she is Western Welcome Week’s executive director, the festival’s only full-time year-round employee. The Villager recently asked Hathaway for her thoughts on the venerable institution.
Villager: What is the most unusual event within Western Welcome Week? Hathaway: Moonlight golf is a little unusual. You’re golfing in the dark with glow-in-the-dark golf balls. That’s always interesting. You can’t have a golf cart because you’re
driving in the dark. You hear a lot of laughing and cussing (laughs). Villager: Is there any drinking during this? Hathaway: Before, during and after (laughs). I always tell people, if you’re a very serious golfer, you may not like it. Villager: What’s the oldest component of Western Welcome Week? Hathaway: The parade is the only event that’s gone on for the full 85 years. The second oldest is the Littleton Lions Club barbecue. It’s 63 years old this year. Villager: Western Welcome Week has not been all that cordial to change, right? Hathaway: I think over the last 10 years we have been able to change. With the concert and fireworks, we have tried different music, and that didn’t go over well. But this year,
Some things never change. The 85th annual Western Welcome Week Grand Parade will be held Aug. 17, 10 a.m. – noon, on Littleton’s Main Street.

we’re going to have the Littleton Ska Band. That’s going to kick off before the Denver Municipal Band, so we’ll still have the traditional. I’m sure we’ll have some raised eyebrows. But I’m excited. I’ve heard they’re very, very good. Villager: What’s your favorite Western Welcome Week story? Hathaway: I can’t tell you what year it was, but we had a guy in the parade who dressed like Abe Lincoln. He was walking in the parade and came around to where our judging stand is. The Bega group was here. They stood up and sang “God Bless America.” It was so amazing. Villager: In Australian accents, no less. Hathaway: Yes, it was one of those moments when you’re kind of like, wow! And then, we used to have a cannon that would go off to announce the parade. One year, they did it and it blew out the windows all down Main Street (laughs). Everybody was very nice about it. Villager: What’s been the biggest disaster? Hathaway: It wasn’t really a disaster, but it could have been. It was the year that it rained through the whole parade. People literally stayed there and watched it with canopies, umbrellas and rain gear. We only had two entries cancel. It was literally like a monsoon. Villager: That’s dedication. Hathaway: I was in a golf cart going up Littleton Boulevard to the parade route from downtown and this man stopped me, and he said, “Thank you for not letting the rain stop our parade.” He said he’s been to 52 consecutive parades and he didn’t want to stop. It wasn’t really a disaster, but it was miserable. Villager: Although Western Welcome Week is proud of having “something for everyone,” are there event ideas you have had to reject? Hathaway: We had an organization numerous years ago that wanted to have a male revue. We kind of said, “No.” Villager: So, something for almost everyone. Hathaway: We also had an organization that wanted to charge $75 a ticket, and we said that’s not really
what we’re about – family and affordable. Villager: In a world where so many things come and go, how has Western Welcome Week managed to last 85 years? Hathaway: Part of it is tradition. It’s something people know about and expect to happen. You have generations that come. Littleton High School plans its reunions around Western Welcome Week. Villager: It’s kind of dizzying when you look at the schedule. Is it hard for people to keep track of it all? Hathaway: I’m astounded. This year, I’ve probably taken 15 to 20 calls from people who didn’t know there was more than just the parade. I probably hit 90 to 95 percent of the events. Villager: The theme this year is “Spirit of the West.” Hathaway: People are really having fun with it. We have a gal that’s 85 years old in the first part of August. So her thing is “Western Welcome Week and I are still alive at 85.” She’s definitely the spirit of the West. She’s kind of a cowboy hatcowboy boots kind of a girl. She’s a delight. It’s just going back to that tradition of who and what we were back in the day, and next year we’ll be something more modern.

FBI lab marks international accreditation Submitted by the FBI The FBI Denver Division and members of the Local Executive Board of the Rocky Mountain Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory in Centennial held a press conference July 24 to commemorate the laboratory’s latest achievement – International Program accreditation from the world’s leading forensic laboratory accrediting agency, the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors / Laboratory Accreditation Board. The RMRCFL opened in early 2006 as a full-service digital forensics laboratory and training center devoted entirely to the examination of digital evidence. Accreditation demonstrates to RMRCFL customers and the general public that a laboratory meets or exceeds the rigorous standards established by the international scientific community. Last week’s accreditation ceremony provided an opportunity to celebrate the partnerships that supported the selection of Denver for an RMRCFL in 2004 and that have
Letters to the Editor
Let’s move Littleton forward
As a long time resident and business owner in Littleton, I was initially attracted to the city by its charm and character that are unique in the south metro area. Over the last 10 years, I have moved my children from a private school to Littleton Public Schools, I have moved my business to the downtown area and I have become a strong advocate for creating a 21st century city with 19th century values. This is a vision that allows Littleton to be relevant to the business and cultural environment that exists not trying to create an artificial small town atmosphere from a time gone by. To achieve this vision, Littleton must continue to develop for tomorrow’s generation, not yesterdays. We must invest in 21st century infrastructure and participate in economic development programs that support the entire region; we cannot isolate ourselves One trend that is currently at work throughout the metro area is the rise of multi-family apartment developments, such as Littleton Commons, Nevada Place, Broadstone and the Marathon Oil redevelopment; we should not fear this trend but we should help shape it to graft these developments into our community. The Marathon Oil site is a responsible redevelopment of an unproductive property that will create a uniquely Littleton stamp on the Broadway corridor and should be supported, it will add jobs, retail and a mixed demographic to our city. Let’s prove to the world that Littleton’s best days are in front of us. Norman Stucker Chair – Littleton Business Coalition South Metro Denver Chamber
Downfall
“Temperamental, tactless and emotional, too fond of flaunting his authority…and a bad judge of character and situations…he grew increasingly…capricious and tyrannical.” Thus does eminent English historian A. R. Myers explain the downfall of King Richard II, deposed in 1399. Even then, more than 600 years ago, the English people required their government to act lawfully, accountably, justly and honorably, respecting the rights of all equally; else the people withdrew their consent. On that wise, ancient principle stands our precious American constitutional foundation. Peg Brady Centennial
sustained the laboratory as a vital resource for law enforcement agencies in Colorado and Wyoming. Thomas Ravenelle, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Denver Division, applauded the lab’s achievements. “Today, we celebrate not only our accreditation as one of 43 forensic laboratories in the world to attain International Program accreditation in the digital and multimedia evidence discipline,” he said. “We also celebrate the outstanding partnerships that have made every service provided at this laboratory possible.” The FBI provides the facility, equipment and training for the RMRCFL, one of 16 laboratories in the national RCFL Program. Thirteen participating agencies detail the 19 staff members who work at the lab. Participating agencies are Adam’s County Sheriff’s Office, Arvada Police Department, Aurora Police Department, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Denver District Attorney’s Office, Denver Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, FBI- Denver Division, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, Lakewood Police Department, Littleton Police Department, the Office of the District Attorney, 18th Judicial District and Thornton Police Department.

Ranching Memories KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
It takes a farm and a ranch to feed us Summertime is when the corn grows in the heat of the day, the wheat kernels fill and the sweet clover, Brome grass and Timothy start to go to seed spill and their ripening seeds back into mother earth. The hay is cut and harvested providing nourishment for livestock through the long Colorado winter months. In the spring, ranchers use tractors to drag large harrows with metal teeth around the meadows spreading the winter accumulated cow manure as a natural fertilizer for the hay fields. The bailed hay is stacked for
winter feed or loaded on trucks and shipped to markets where hay brings a premium price with the ongoing drought. Irrigation is the key to growing any crop and in Colorado we receive an average of 13 inches of annual rainfall, so dry land winter wheat is about the only crop that can yield a successful harvest if lucky enough to receive a few spring rains. The once green Arkansas Valley is now a withering sea of brown fields as Aurora has purchased much of the farmer’s irrigation waters. Livestock are kept off of the hay meadows and are turned loose to graze on private property, Bureau of Land Management or Forest Service permit lands where each animal is charged a monthly grazing fee. There are two types of ranching operations, a cow calf operation where the mother cows are kept year after year and the yearling calves fed thru the winter and then sold in the spring or fall. The second ranching endeavor involves purchasing those yearling heifers or preferable steer calves and running them through the summer, buying them in the
spring and selling them in the fall. This eliminates the hay operation, but is speculation on supply and demand and market price fluctuations. My ancestors were mother cow operators who raised the cattle year after year and only sold the yearling steers and some of the heifers for breeding stock as the older cows were shipped to Denver buyers. In order to have calves ranchers have to buy or raise bulls. To avoid in-breeding, bulls had to be purchased from other ranchers with different cattle bloodlines. Today, artificial insemination is used in many ranching operations to avoid having a “dry heifer” that doesn’t raise an offspring. We would usually watch for one of these heifers that would be sleek and fat without offspring for our supply of fresh beef. She may have escaped her lover, but she got the axe. We harvested our own ice from the Yampa River and had an ice shed using coal slack for insulation. We had these large blocks of ice all year long before refrigeration reached rural areas. Meat was placed in large canvas bags and placed in large root cellars in the daytime and placed outside in the
cool air during the nights. A huge garden was harvested and the beans, beets, carrots, peas and corn were canned using pressure cookers on a large coal stove. We had a large cellar full of Mason jars of canned foods, including wild chokecherry syrup. I attribute my great health today to being raised on fresh whole milk and natural vegetables without insecticides being applied to any of our food. The school bells would sound in September and it was off to school, or on to college. I reminisce these days about life on the ranch, it was a wonderful experience and a vivid understanding of how all of these wonderful food products arrive at King Soopers new Fresh Fare market on Hampden Avenue and other food outlets. Support those Rocky Ford farmers and purchase some melons from those hard hit farms reeling from one bad farm crop last summer. As you drive around the state, take note of those pastures, grazing cattle, and know that hard working families are raising food for your tables. It takes a farm and a ranch to feed a community.

Aug. 6 is less than a week away and I should let that date pass by unnoticed. But – DAMN IT! I can’t. At approximately 9:15 a.m. on Aug. 6, 1945, a plane called the Enola Gay (named by its pilot Paul Tibbets on honor of his mother’s name) dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. “My God” was the only entry in the co-pilot’s diary as the day’s brilliant sunlight was slashed by an even more brilliant flash that destroyed Hiroshima.

By Tom Barry Last week, motorists were relieved that the major road construction at Colorado Boulevard and Hampden/HWY 285 had been wrapped up for the most part. The Colorado Department of Transportation opened up all traffic lanes July 24 after a 24-hour, seven day a week, 20-day construction project. During that time, many motorists avoided the area like the plague, as some area residents encountered considerable traffic in their Denver neighborhood turning south off Hampden. The new 11-inch reinforced concrete slabs provide drivers a much smoother surface when traveling over this high volume intersection in southeast Denver that abuts Cherry Hills Village. Additionally, new concrete curbs and gutters have been poured. At deadline, there are still orange traffic cones in the center median area of Hampden, which has to be completed. The loose ends of this intensive project should be wrapping up soon and returning back to normal. “Now that the majority of the reconstruction is complete, all through lanes are now open; however, motorists can still expect some turn lane restrictions and various single lane closures from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and 8:30
A construction sign in front of the unfinished median at Colorado Boulevard and Hampden/HWY 287 cautions motorist to “Keep Right.” Photos by Tom Barry a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,” said a CDOT press release from July 25, as updates were unavailable at press time. “By completing the majority of the reconstruction in the 20-day period, we reduced the impacts to traffic by about three months,” said CDOT Project Engineer John Hall in the statement last week. “Any time we can reduce the overall impacts to the traveling public and expedite the project is a benefit for everyone.”
Belleview and University construction
Since one of CDOT’s major road projects in the southeast area is
nearly done, there is one major road construction project that continues. Currently, the west side of University Boulevard and the south side of Belleview are cordoned off with concrete barriers, while contractors do major construction work. Some area residents and office workers have chosen to avoid the intersection due to significant delays that can occur throughout the week, while others patiently suffer through the periodic delays. Now that Hampden has reopened, drivers are going farther south to utilize that east/west road to dissect the southeast corridor. Construction at this intersection in Cherry Hills will continue through December 2014.

Crane seeks election as clerk and recorder
Incumbent appointed this year to replace Doty
Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane has affirmed that he is seeking election to the position in November. The Republican was appointed in March by the county’s Board of Commissioners to fill the vacancy that was created when Clerk and Recorder Nancy Doty stepped down after being elected to serve on the board. Prior to coming to Arapahoe County, Crane worked for the Colorado Secretary of State and the City and County of Denver.
He is certified Colorado elections official and will receive national certification from the Election Center in August. He has also participated in identifying national election best practices with the Election Assistance Commission in Washington, D.C. “It is an honor to serve Arapahoe County as your clerk and recorder,” Crane said. “As the chief elections official for Arapahoe County, I will ensure that our citizens can participate in fair, transparent and secure elections. We will strive to provide outstanding customer service across all divisions of the office. I will also focus on providing our citizens with clear and comprehensive in-

where the alleged assault took place, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office reported. Zachary Hamilton-Smith, 19, was being held in the county jail without bond on a charge of sexual assault on a child. He was arrested in his Monument home with the assistance of the Zachary Hamilton-Smith town’s police department.

‘Collaboration’ is key to economic future of south metro area Part I of a conversation with Mike Fitzgerald
By Jan Wondra Ask Mike Fitzgerald, president and CEO of the Denver South Economic Development Partnership, what the secret is to Colorado’s economic success is and he will answer quickly. “Our collaborative spirit,” he says with intensity in his blue eyes. “And our moderate politics. We can’t get anything done unless we hold to the center. When you look at what’s gotten done here in Colorado in the last 20-30 years or so, it’s because we collaborated. We got it done together.” The conversation with Fitzgerald occurred in the midst of some recent good economic news for the Denver south area, including the announcements of both the Cool Planet headquarters and the Fidelity Investments move into Greenwood Village. Fitzgerald says the moves are no accident. “The economic rankings clearly place our state in the top 10 national rankings in so many categories, from ranking No. 1 in small business per capita, to No. 3 in venture capital investments and No. 5 in initial public offerings. You don’t achieve those ranks without doing a lot right.” Asked what the key to this success is, Fitzgerald says, “When people ask me what it’s like to do business here, I tell them our base is moderate politics and fiscal responsibility. We in the West, at least in our state, have shown a willingness to tax ourselves to create economic opportunity.” “It’s the dynamic nature of our governance,” adds Randy Hildreth, Denver South EDP Communications manger, who joined us for the conversation. “Perhaps it’s our populist leaning, or that in this state you can register as an independent, but here we don’t have to lean heavily left or right. We can get things done

Mike Fitzgerald, president and CEO of the Denver South Economic Development Partnership, says remaining in the center fiscally, politically and cooperatively, is the key to our success.

In the Beacon Hill publication “Competitive States,” Colorado ranks No. 5. Colorado ranks No. 8 in the American Legislative Exchange Council’s Economic Outlook report. When asked what is driving our growth, Fitzgerald said, “Immigration, coming from the most desired labor group in the world; 25-34-year-olds. “As a state, and especially with leadership coming from the Denver south area, we’ve put in place the infrastructure to get things done.

and city commissioners here who come together and agree to work together no matter their politics. There’s just not another place on the planet where this happens – like it happens here.” Once we agree to collaborate, notes Fitzgerald, the cooperation continues. “After the agreement comes real support of the development work; the expedited permitting, the licensing, the lower taxes that are possible with robust growth. The key to this is that every local government sees the growth, the prospects for adding jobs and elected representatives protect the shared vision. Instead of fighting each other, they all help each other; understanding that what helps one municipality can help their neighbors as well, and vice versa. Look at the current light rail expansion [FasTracks] and the DRCOG [Denver Regional Council of Governments] projects. In my experience, it’s unprecedented.” When asked what industries to watch for job growth in the south metro area, Fitzgerald ticks off telecom, digital health and aerospace at the top the list. “We work so closely with the state economic development staff, because, of course, first we want the new business to come to Colorado. But then we take the macro information and collaboratively translate it to our specific Denver South area. When I say ‘we,’ I mean we have concerned citizen leaders here. People who together ask the question, ‘What will help the community?’” Fitzgerald returned to the theme on which he began our conversation: the political middle. “It’s all about community. We can’t afford to be extreme here,” he said. “We never have been. Think about it. Colorado is one of the best examples of the western mindset that is focused not just on growth for today, but growth for tomorrow.” Next week: Part II in The economic future of the Denver south area.

Denver Art Museum Collectors’ Choice set for Dec. 5 eral there now are so fascinating it took three hours just to wander through them on a recent Sunday. Children ages about 4 and up will also love to come along as textiles are hands on and some exhibits are inter-active.
T
he Denver Art Museum Collectors’ Choice, Dec. 5, is honoring Jim Wallace, Tom Petrie and Henry Roath, with the event funding acquisitions for the Petrie Institute of Western American Art. Wallace founded the Contemporary Realism Group that’s supported the acquisition of 60 artworks. Petrie was a major donor of the Institute of Western American Art that bears his name and he and wife Jane also lend pieces from their own collection to the DAM. Roath, also a major Western American art collector, loans selections from his own collections to the museum as well. Co-chairing the Choice are Rhonda and Robert Boswell, Sally and Ray Duncan, Louisa and Bob Jornayvaz, Marcia and Dick Robinson, Judi and Joe Wagner, and Beth and George Wood. This glamorous, always blacktie event, sells out so if you’re new to town or thinking of attending it’s best to get hold of Gravely Wilson for an invitation.

The best way to abide by this request is for parents wanting to record, photo or use movie mode should sit down front, below the stage floor or in the back rows of the auditorium. Another choice may be for those wishing to use iPads or other laptop devices attend a dress rehearsal and shoot/record away only then. Other issues akin to these situations are the whole topic of privacy and does it even exist anymore? Is there any civil way to prevent being recorded, photographed or otherwise invaded by electronics? Probably not and where prohibited by law someone such as Snowden, living at the Moscow Airport for weeks, is likely to challenge privacy in the name of freedom. Get in on this issue and add to the conversation by email. Yes, it is certainly an etiquette issue. Speaking of which: how about over-eager parents cheering on their kids at sports events? Rude comes to mind when remembering their behavior and it’s not necessary. Children should be supported of course and a cheering section is important to them. But there’s a limit, isn’t there? Screaming at every hooped basketball or even not getting the basketball into the hoop is over the top. We suggest a hug and words of encouragement when kids are sidelined for a few minutes, lots of bottled water and an eager eye for suggestions. When their team wins certainly a celebratory pizza dinner afterwards. And about aggressively arguing with the ref and delaying the game to do it? Unless another child’s parent or friend agrees, meditate on it and consider what manners this haranguing teaches children. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

One of the bands that had performed the day before came to provide music. City officials and executive staff were introduced to the crowd. “It’s a big day for us because it’s Greenwood Village and we like to celebrate how much we love our city,” said Lindsey Rindal, 15, who will be a senior at Cherry Creek High School this year. This special event had 75 Greenwood Village employees working on Saturday, including around 20 high school student recreation aides. The total cost of this enormous undertaking was around $50,000 from the city coffers for the residents “I will be doing this job as long as I am having fun and I’m still having fun,” said Cathy Pate, who has organized the Greenwood Village Day for 25 years. Pate noted that she and her staff invested around 750 plus hours of time to coordinate and implement the successful event. This year, the celebration also had four food truck vendors providing delicacies and liquid refreshments on the hot afternoon.

Sie and Whitten families receive President’s Award
Gardiner receives Scientific Award at National Down Syndrome Congress Convention
Submitted by Global Down Syndrome Foundation he National Down Syndrome Congress convened its annual convention in Denver this year, attracting more than 3,000 attendees, making it the largest in the convention’s 41-year history. At the Awards Banquet held at the Hyatt Regency Denver at Colorado Convention Center on July 20, the organization presented its prestigious President’s Award to Anna and John J. Sie, and their daughter Michelle Sie Whitten, her husband, Tom, and their two children, Sophia and Patrick. Sophia happens to have Down syndrome. Also honored was Katheleen Gardiner, Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a researcher at the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome. Gardiner, who is an integral part of the Crnic Institute the Sies and Whittens helped launch, received the NDSC’s Theodore D. Tjossem Research Award. “The Sies are unique in that they not only give of their wealth, they give of their time, their invaluable intellect and from their hearts,” said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. “Beyond the generosity of the $22 million the Sies have invested in the Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome, they are making a huge impact by highlighting to the world what people with Down syndrome are capable of and what barriers still exist for
T

John Hickenlooper and David Tolleson; bottom row Sophia Whitten and Patrick Whitten Courtesy photos their equality.” David Tolleson, executive director of the NDSC, said, “Michelle has been a great force for good in the Down syndrome community. The organization she
heads, Global Down Syndrome Foundation, fills a much needed void in medical care and research, and her team is superbly focused and collaborative. “Clearly the Crnic Institute
is leading the way with research that is beneficial for people with Down syndrome and the Sie Center for Down Syndrome at Children’s Hospital Colorado is already educating the community with important best practices.” “I am really pleased that Katheleen Gardiner won this award,” said Tom Blumenthal, executive director of the Crnic Institute. “The research she is doing is important, and central to the key questions involved in understanding the genetics and molecular biology of Down syndrome. This
was exemplified in the outstanding talk she gave at the Global Research & Medical Care Roundtable. It is wonderful to see her getting the recognition she so richly deserves.” The awards banquet attracted over 1,500 attendees and was the highlight of the weekend, which brought people from 20 different countries to Denver, including hundreds of self-advocates with Down syndrome. In 2005, the Sies founded the Anna and John J. Sie Foundation, which supports the sharing of knowledge among peoples and cultures throughout the global community, with an emphasis on Down syndrome, international security and diplomacy, education, media, business and technology. The foundation has given $22 million in support of Down syndrome research, medical care, education and advocacy through the Global Down Syndrome Foundation, Crnic Institute and Anna & John J. Sie Center for Down Syndrome at Children’s Hospital Colorado. The Sies’ daughter Michelle Whitten is co-founder and executive director of the Global Down Syndrome Foundation. Formally established in 2009, the Foundation has the primary focus of supporting the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome, the first academic home in the U.S. committed to research and medical care for people with the condition.

Perry & Co. Real Estate Professionals partners with Do At the Zoo Perry & Co. Real Estate Professionals joined the Denver Zoo as an Area Sponsor for this year’s Do At the Zoo held on June 20. “This is the first year we’ve sponsored the event and for some of us it was the first year we had attended. We were so impressed with the food, the music, the ambiance, the crowd and the fun in visiting the zoo after dark. And we’re even more impressed to learn that the Zoo raised over $700,000 for their sustainability efforts and assistance in providing the best care of the animals,” said Don Larrance, CEO of Perry & Co. More than 30 of Perry & Co. brokers and their clients attended the event as an additional way to support the Zoo’s major fundraiser. Do At the Zoo is the premier fundraiser for the Denver Zoo supporting their “green” efforts as well as their long-standing reputation in providing the best care of their over 3,800 animals. The gala featured more than 60 of Denver’s top restaurants serving their best menu items in food booths scattered around the zoo. Guests were also treated to signature drinks, wine and local craft beers as well as music, dancing and close-up animal encounters. “One of the great benefits to sponsoring this event is that we will be in partnership with the

Zoo for the rest of year.

Perry & Co. has a long tradition of supporting the metro area’s great science and cultural facilities and in bringing awareness to what they offer to residents. The Denver Zoo’s award-winning sustainability focus was another reason Perry & Co. wanted to get involved. “The Denver Zoo continues
to be at the forefront of animal conservation and sustainability. As a premier real estate company we want to support and be associated with this outstanding organization,” said Brett Sawyer, managing broker. The Area sponsorship includes a plaque with Perry & Co.’s name on it in the zoo.

New Target store brings life back to Tamarac Square By Tom Barry he Tamarac Square shopping center opened in southeast Denver in November 1976 at the intersection of Hampden and Tamarac. This highly popular mall had exclusive shops, top restaurants and a multi-screen theater. Parking spaces were at a premium, as mall goers would park across Hampden at Tiffany Plaza. Due to economic issues, purportedly poor management and marketing and intense competition from Cherry Creek and Park Meadows, the mall and Tamarac’s Regency Theaters closed in early 2011. Target opened its first store outside their Minneapolis, Minn., headquarters in Glendale in 1966. Target was the first big box retailer in the area and featured a conveyor belt next to the grocery checkout stands. Clerks would pack the items into large brown paper bags and put them on the conveyer that would transport the goods to an area adjacent the store where customers would drive up and the baggers would load the groceries into the car.

Target in Tamarac
Target staged a ribbon cutting, July 23, for employees and their families at the corporation’s first
store actually inside the City and County of Denver limits. Around 150 employees, friends and family gathered for the official ceremony. “What makes it special for me is to put a team together,” said Chris Legrande, Target’s store team leader (store manager). Legrande graduated from Arvada West and has been with Target for 19 years, the same amount of time that he has been married to Michelle. The family lives in Parker with their two young children. “You are able to bond as a team and develop a ‘guest first’ attitude,” he said. Target has been open for business since the ceremony and had a grand opening July 28. “Target offers thousands of grocery and hard good items to meet our guests’ needs,” said Ann Christensen, a Target spokeswoman. “We carry more than 2,500 owned brand products within our exclusive Archer Farms, Simply Balanced, Market Pantry and Sutton & Dodge grocery lines. Additionally, Target’s up & up brand offers more than 1,200 everyday essential products…in 68 categories.” The store offers relatively a small selection of fresh-baked goods, deli and fresh produce. Baked goods and deli items are produced in another facility and

Photos by Tom Barry shipped to this non-Super Target Store. Super Targets have their own bakery and deli. “We have over 2 million guests at all Target stores each year,” said Sarah Stillman, the corporation’s district team leader, who manages 12 stores and 2,000 employees. Stillman shared that since 1990, customers became guests and employees became team members, as she touts the company’s Fast, Fun and Friendly motto. Target has been in discussions about a “City Target” being constructed in downtown Denver, as they have met with Mayor Michael Hancock’s staff. Stillman said the store could be several years away. The new 135,000 sq. ft. Target is about 30,000 sq. ft. smaller than a Super Target. This Tamarac store has 13 checkout lines for customers manned by employees. The store has hired 200 employees with 40 team members working full time.
Target will match prices on likeadvertised items and from major online retailers including Amazon. “We will match prices down to the cost of the medication,” said Pharmacy Manager Alex Black. In a store tour with The Villager, Christensen discussed Target’s
newly introduced extensive line of Simply Balanced products, which are free of artificial flavors, colors and preservatives, with recognizable ingredients, according to Target’s website. Target recently donated checks of $1,000 each to several local high schools. Target proudly boasts that their corporation invests 5 percent of its profits in the communities it serves. Tamarac Square’s north side still has two long-time popular tenants, The Tailor’s Studio, where Voula Korosis has made and tailored garments for more than 23 years, and the ACE Hardware Store, which has become a neighborhood fixture over the years. A relative newcomer to the center is Giorgio’s NY Pizzeria & Ristorante, which has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. At the end of the night, two management staff from Target picked up a large take out pizza, proclaiming that Giorgio’s had some of the best pizza in town. Continued on page 17

Art & Ale set King Soopers new Fresh Fare store to reduce hours for Aug 16 at By Tom Barry Fresh Fare, a King Soopers specialty grocery story that opened Dec. 12, 2012, will be limiting their hours of operation beginning Sunday, Aug. 4. The store is located on the northwest corner of University Boulevard and Hampden/ HWY 285 in the Kent Place Development. The new market opened with a lot of fanfare just prior to Christmas last year to compete with nearby Whole Foods, Sprouts and Natural Grocers, along with a nearby Safeway and three other area King Soopers stores. Two signs posted on the front entrance door read, “Attention Guests: Effective Aug. 4, 2013, our store will be [open]: 6 a.m. – 11 p.m. Daily. Thank you. Store Management.” After less than eight months of being open, Fresh Fare, a
Kroger Corporate store will be closing overnight. The store will reopen at 6 a.m. throughout the week for customers. This Englewood store is an upscale market and was constructed to also serve area residents, including the Cherry Hills Village community, south of Hampden. Fresh Fare, a 30,000 sq. ft. store, touts its diverse array of fresh fruit and vegetables, Murray’s Cheese Shop, a full service deli and Panini Shop, adjacent an instore Starbucks. Initially, the store had 150 employees to staff the new concept grocery store. King Soopers also operates a pharmacy, which is across a retail street separating the two facilities. The boutique-like store offers health care products, vitamins and supplements. A King Soopers corporate spokeswoman did not return several calls from The Villager prior to press time.

As world travelers, Jim and Pam completed their 16th cruise together in as many years, and last May they took a cruise to Alaska for the sixth time. Pam is survived by a half brother and his wife, John and Doris Wolny of Boulder; a step sister-in-law Audrey Chamberlain of Denver and her two children; a half stepdaughter, Nancy Stevenson of Thornton; and a cousin, Barbara Fitzgerald of Chandler, Ariz. She was preceded in death by her parents, two half brothers Jerry and Joe Wolny and a half brother Ted Yaneshek and his wife Ann of Aptos, Calif. In lieu of flowers, a contribution may be made to the Cross Roads Ministries of Estes Park. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Best of Fest supports local growers; features only wines made from Colorado grapes For the first time in its long history, Colorado’s most prestigious local wine competition added an important element in judging criteria: Only wines that are Colorado Appellation or from one of Colorado’s AVAs (American Viticulture Areas) may be entered. Simply stated, this means wines must be made from 75 percent Colorado grapes. In previous competitions, wines made in Colorado, regardless of grape origin, were allowed. “Our winemakers have always been the stars of the industry and now we are elevating our amazing grapegrowing industry, too,” said Cassidee Shull, executive director of the Colorado Association for Vi-
ticulture and Enology. Using the same stringent judging standards enacted in 2012 designed to reward wines for shining in quality, not just passing minimum standards, 44 percent, or 73, of the 165 entries received medals. The evaluation took place July 22-23 at the Wine Country Inn in Palisade. Seasoned wine professional Richard Leahy from Charlottesville, Va., served as Best of Fest Competition chair, overseeing a team of 10 judges from around the United States. “The medal results for the Colorado Best of Fest show the quality and great diversity of fine Colorado wines
today,” Leahy said. “I like that Colorado vintners are adventurous enough to make regional wines that are truly unique and that also attract a lot of customers.” The push to include Colorado grape wines this year is part of a larger effort of CAVE to promote the growing industry alongside its winemakers. During the 22nd annual Colorado Mountain Winefest presented by First National Bank of the Rockies in September, wineries that pour and sell only Colorado wines with the 75 percent designation will be noted in the program and at various points throughout the day. “We want the consumers to understand what Colorado grapes taste like,” Shull said. “We make great wine in Colorado. We grow great grapes in Colorado.” View a complete list of medal winners at www.winecolorado. org.

Screen time: Raising kids in the digital age You’ve heard the advice, “No screen time before the age of 2.” However, if you’re like many parents and caregivers, the reality of parenting and the multiplying number of screens in our lives makes this mandate a bit daunting. What’s the real impact of screen time on young children? That’s what author Lisa Guernsey wanted to know. Armed with her science-journalism background, she decided to do her own research. What she found is surprising. Parents and caregivers are invited for an encouraging conversation about the real impact of screen time on young children with Guernsey on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 6-8 p.m. at Smoky Hill Library, 5430 S. Biscay Circle in Centennial. Appetizers will be served from 6-6:30 p.m. Guernsey maintains that parents and caregivers should focus on “the three Cs: content, context and the individual child.” Her book, Screen Time: How Electronic Media – From Baby Videos to Educational Software – Affects Your Young Child, will be available for purchase. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Arapahoe Library District. For more information about the Friends, visit www. arapahoelibraries.org. This program is free and open to the public, however, reservations are required. To register online, visit www.arapahoelibraries. org and click on Programs & Classes.

The economics of your landscape
Submitted by Swingle We’ve all seen it. A store past by many times and it never seemed to have much business. You marveled how it stayed open, till one day you see the liquidation sign in the window or simply the doors closed for good. The same thing can be said for trees and shrubs. Sometimes the call it goes something like this: “The tree was just fine till just a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, the leaves turned brown.” There are times when an acute (sudden) occurrence happens and the plant declines or dies, but most often landscape issues are chronic. Here, chronic means the problem with the landscape plant has been going on for several years. “The doors were open, but not enough business to sustain the plant.” The celebrated Nobel Prized economist Theodore Schultz exclaimed, “If you don’t grow, you die.” Between last year’s (2012) record high summer temperatures and this April’s severe freezing temperatures, our landscapes are in a weakened state. Landscape trees and shrubs that were weak last fall likely had more freeze injury. As the growing season continues, we are seeing continued injury including dead branches and defoliation. To the person who loves and cares for their landscape, there isn’t anything more disheartening than seeing a favorite tree or shrub decline or die. So how can you tell that a tree or shrub is beginning to slow down? Just like in a business, when the plant senses it is in trouble, it re-
trenches. In other words the plant tries to make itself smaller. The tree will do this by shedding or “turning off” poorer performing branches and putting its resources toward stronger branches. The tree canopy is not as full or dense as it once was. A tree once so dense you couldn’t see through is now sparse. The leaves may be smaller, off color (yellow), or defoliate sooner in the year. This is also a sign that the energy production in the tree or shrub is slowing down. This is not a good sign, as the leaves are the energy production centers of the plant. Poor quality foliage equates to low energy production.
The most telling and difficult to see is a decrease in the annual twig growth. Nodes on the twigs denote annual growth. This is of the later manifestations of a tree or shrub decline. The live twigs and branches are no longer able to grow as they once did. There are simply not enough resources. Insects, diseases, water issues, temperature, aging plants, mechanical injury, chemical injury, fertility, shade are just some of the problems that landscapes encounter. In these instances it is a good idea to seek expert for your landscape. For more information, visit www.myswingle.com.

How to freshen up patio and porch containers Submitted by ALCC Some plants may be looking a little straggly and others may have fried in the heat. If so, take some time this weekend to bring the pizzazz back to your porch. There are, after all, at least nine good weeks left in the growing season. Add a few fresh plants and do a little maintenance and your containers will look lush and lively ‘til fall. Start with a long look at your containers and notice bare areas or plants that for whatever reason, never took off or just aren’t thriving. Even though we do hate the thought of giving up on our plants, you really don’t have to keep trying to nurse the struggling ones back to health! Replace the stragglers.
Next consider the design of the containers and the shapes that need to be filled in. Do you need to replace the tall “thriller” in your pot? How about the “spiller” plants that cascade over the edge? Or is it the “filler” plant that mounds to fill space that needs a fresh look? Once you know the shapes of plants you need to change, you can get the replacements. Plants to consider • Rudbeckia (like the Denver Daisy) – they mound and provide good visual interest • Snapdragons - their tall shape adds height • Zinnia - use different sizes for color and filler • Mums - great filler and move well into the fall season
Have you looked closely at the containers on the porch and patio? Photos courtesy of ALCC • Kale - its green color and texture adds interest among blooming plants. • Even herbs, grasses and peren-

nials work well in containers. Grasses can be the “thriller” tall focal point and herbs and perennials can fill in or cascade, depending on the varieties you choose. • Petunias are always great because they take the heat - and there’s still more of it ahead. Overall, select plants that will thrive until the end of the growing season and offer late season interest as we move closer to fall.
Tips to keep containers healthy in the heat
• Water daily for most containers that are in the sun. Check the soil and make sure plants get enough water, especially if
containers are small or if they are in unglazed pottery that dries out quickly. • Deadhead flowers – Pinch off blooms that are fading so the plant puts its energy into new blooms. Petunias, geranium and most annuals benefit from deadheading. • Fertilize – Container plants should be fertilized once a month. Select a fertilizer that promotes bloom growth rather than green foliage growth. Garden center pros can help select the best products for your plants. For more information, visit www.alcc.com.

Music grows up for LeAnn Rimes Music has always come from my heart and soul when I performed, but I didn’t know I could write a record like this.

Singer headlines Rocky Mountain Music Festival Aug. 11
A
By Peter Jones t age 30, LeAnn Rimes has had a realization. “I’m going to make mistakes, and the great thing is I can write about them,” she said. Her new CD, Spitfire, for which Rimes co-wrote eight of the 13 tracks, is her first CD of a highly personal nature – and in some ways, it is a new beg inning. “I’ve never really listened to an album of mine until this one,” she said. “I always felt like I was recording things for other people because I was obligated to. I enjoy listening to this album.” Spitfire marks a sharp departure for Rimes with its commercial ambivalence and stark personal subject matter, or what she describes as an intimate conversation with whoever happens to be listening. It is the kind of banter best held over a few drinks when Rimes sings bluntly of the publicized in-
fidelity that signaled the end of her first marriage. In “What Have I Done” and “Borrowed,” Rimes essentially tells her side of the story. “I was able to have a say in my own life, even though people were misjudging and carelessly writing crap,” she said. “It was time for me to finally have a say. There was nothing to hide and I think it was the perfect way to let all these emotions come out. Music has always come from my heart and soul when I performed, but I didn’t know I could write a record like this.” Rimes had initially planned to structure the conceptual Spitfire chronologically, but wound up nixing that idea in favor of a more visceral, less linear approach – or “The Truth in No Particular Order,” as the CD cover promises. Amidst Rimes’s honest confessionals are songs of anger, love and regret: “Love would be easy if you never had to think about how somebody else would feel,” she sings in “Who We Really Are,” the CD’s closing song. Although the bluntly honest Spitfire is Rimes’s 15th release in 22 years, it may as well have been her
first, to hear the singer-songwriter tell it. “The whole process changed for me with making this album,” she said. “I’ve never been so transparent in my music and it really has given me a whole new perspective on life and music. I don’t think I’ve ever been as appreciative of my gift until now.” Rimes will perform music from Spitfire, as well as earlier material, on Aug. 11 as the headliner of the Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Clement Park in Littleton. While 30 may be a typical age to change directions and consider one’s priorities, Rimes has crammed more experience than most into her three decades. She cut her first album at age 11. Influenced by the likes of Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland, her singing would transcend genre. By the time she was a teenager, her rich and searing vocals were garnering comparisons to the late Patsy Cline. “She was one of the first people I ever listened to,” Rimes said of Cline. “Whatever emotion she was feeling, you felt with her. I was always able to hit the notes, but there
are a lot of people who hit notes, but you don’t feel anything.” Although born in Mississippi, the Rimes family moved to Garland, Texas, in time for local DJ Bill Mack to take the singer under his wing. After a series of radio shows and personal appearances, Mack handed her the song that would make her a star. “Blue” had been written by Mack some two decades earlier with Cline in mind, but the song’s melancholic yodel and lyrics of longing were conveniently well suited to Rimes’s emotional and pitch-perfect vocal style. The singer says she may have been too young and naïve at the time to feel the pressures that one could have felt as the result of such comparisons. “I’m not one to be intimidated very often,” she said with a laugh. “Even though that was written for Patsy Cline, it kind of fell into my lap, as it should have.” The breakthrough 1996 single would become a Top 10 hit and make Rimes the youngest singer in the history of the Country Music Association to be nominated as Best Country Singer. Her first major-label album sold a recordbreaking 123,000 copies during its
first week. Rimes eventually veered in other musical directions, a move that would broaden her potential audience in the pop world, but strain her conditional relationship with the conservative Nashville establishment. “That’s one of my pet peeves of the South,” she said. “One of the biggest misconceptions is that I wanted to get away from country music. I wasn’t necessarily pushed out, but when you have a crossover hit, it was kind of taboo – and then when you’re also a kid, people have all these excuses not to play your record. I think this new record is more country than anything that’s played on country radio now.” That is despite the distinct contribution from rock guitar legend Jeff Beck on the bluesy come-on “Gasoline and Matches.” As Rimes turns 31 at the end of August, she is clearly reeling from the cathartic liberation she has found on Spitfire. “For me, it’s about my voice and telling a story and just making people feel something,” she said. “That’s what I want to do from here on out.”
