By Tom Barry The colorful and wild times at The Landmark continue behind the scenes, as there is almost enough material for a reality television show at this point. The troubled Landmark consists of two ritzy high-rise towers and an adjacent upscale retail center just south of I-25 and Belleview, in Greenwood Village. In the last 10 months, Zack Davidson, The Landmark’s developer, was indicted by an 18th Judicial District grand jury on 20 counts of fraud and embezzlement of $3.1 million. The developer had already filed personal and business bankruptcies. In early January, Davidson commit-
ted suicide in a Florida forest. The Marin Special District was previously set up by Davidson and others to fund infrastructure improvements at the never-built European Village. This proposed extravagant residential development site remains undeveloped and is just south of the Landmark property. The district’s taxpayers are the residents of the two towers, The Landmark and the Meridian. The district has since filed a civil suit against its former attorney Paul Cockrel, accountant LeAnn Jones and Rike Palese, a real estate agent, to recover some of the pilfered funds. In this last month, Palese, who had the exclusive marketing
contract for the towers and served on the Marin board as a director, settled out of court for $100,000 while denying any wrongdoing. To further complicate matters, the homeowners association representing the two towers has a legal action relating to the Marin District. The two groups of lawyers representing the parties spent a full week in a trial at an Arapahoe County Court this month and are awaiting a judge’s decision. The primary financial lender for The Landmark properties was Hypo Bank in Germany, which has since gone belly up and has been acquired by the German government, which essentially owns the majority of the financial

The Arapahoe County Court selected Denver-based Andy Miller and David Frishman of the firm bearing their last names as the court-appointed receivers for the residential towers and the high-end retail, entertainment and restaurant property.

Village Center project draws contentious crowd
By Jan Wondra The Aug. 19 Greenwood Village public hearing and City Council meeting, focused on a proposed Village Center plan, drew a packed crowd intent upon being heard. The lengthy session, which began at 6 p.m. and ended at 11 p.m., was devoted to plan presentation, a lengthy public hearing and council’s questions to the presenters. The Village Center project at the center of debate is an 18.5acre, undeveloped parcel called the Koebel Annexation, located next to the public park and ride garage off Yosemite and Caley. The hearing begins what would be a complex procedure, involving five separate steps: rezoning to mixed use town center, amending the master plan, redesignating the city’s agreements with neighboring subdivisions, a special use permit and changes to the site development plan.
The proposed Village Center plan would divide the 18.5-acre parcel on Yosemite and Caley into an open space park, and a mixed use town center of high end, multi-family residential, commercial space and a hotel, across I-25 from the light rail station.

Early in the public hearing, it became clear that opinions divided along demographic lines, as well as psychographics and lifestyle patterns. Comments were heard from
those wanting the Village to remain as close as possible to the way it was when they arrived, and those acknowledging the changing lifestyles of the south metro area. Of
particular focus, the workforce critically important to Colorado’s future, the upcoming 25-34-year-old demographic, as well as the older, highly-educated, demographic not choosing to be homeowners. The subjects of homeownership as the ideal for future workforce goals, the question of traffic loads close to residential neighborhoods and whether the city’s master plan truly intended for this area to be “mixed use” fueled the debate. There was a large residential presence from the Sundance and Hermitage neighborhoods, both for and against the project. Joy McGee, Greenwood Village planning manager, provided the plan overview, approved by Greenwood Village Planning & Zoning. The plan would divide the parcel (in its original 1984 configuration a Continued on page 6

Sold!
A citizens group wants to derail the recent sale of the historic Englewood Depot. The City Council voted 5-2 this month to sell the building to a Denver couple, but some think the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, which offered to buy the building for $1, has been railroaded. File photo
Citizens group steamed over long-awaited Depot sale
By Peter Jones The City of Englewood has formally accepted an offer to sell the Englewood Depot to a Denver couple for $30,000, but an opposing citizens group is still firing its engines. On Aug. 19, the City Council gave final approval to sell the historic train station to Tom and Patty Parson, who plan to turn the dormant building on Dartmouth Avenue into a letterpress museum. The vote was 5-2 with Councilmembers Joe Jefferson and Rick Gillit opposing the controversial transfer. Mayor Pro Tem Jim Woodward, who strongly supported the sale, says the Parsons’ offer was the most viable of any that has been brought to the council, particularly in comparison to a bid from the Englewood Historic Preservation Society, which had wanted to buy the depot for $1 and turn the 1,700-square-foot building into a public museum dedicated to Englewood history. “What the Preservation Society offered was zero,” Woodward said after the council’s preliminary vote last month. “They wanted the city to provide sewer and water hookups and to pay no tap fees and for the city to waive all sales and use tax. The Parson bid appeared more sustainable.” Despite protests from citizen activists, most loudly from the Englewood Citizens for Open Government, which has challenged the legality of the sale, the property is expected to formally change hands this week. That does not mean opponents have given up the fight to derail the sale. ECOG members say the property, frequently called Depot Park, should not have been sold in the first

The problem: The city has consid- cess,” she said. “They’re not allowered the depot sale an administrative ing us to do that process, probably
because they are well aware we could get the signatures.” That claim has been strongly rejected by Woodward, who emphasizes the city attorney’s view that because the sale was a onetime action and not an ongoing policy decision, it was proper to handle the issue administratively. Even so, ECOG supporters are expected to place at least one issue on November’s ballot. If passed, that ballot question would officially designate a series of unofficial city “parks” in hopes of avoiding avoid future sales without voter approval. “We have no dedication process. We have no regulations to dedicate a park,” Barrentine said, insisting her movement has been caught in a catch 22. “There’s no process, no procedure, no explanation.” Whatever the reasons for the confusion, Woodward and other councilmembers insist the depot land in question was never an official city park. “Parks and Recreation takes care of the lights on South Broadway and that’s not a park,” he said. “There are all kinds of things called parks that aren’t parks.” Barrantine’s group has still not ruled out a legal challenge to Englewood’s decision to handle the sale administratively and may seek to recall the councilmembers who voted to approve what she considers an illegal sale. The $30,000 purchase came despite appraisals of as much as $425,000. An estimated $370,000 in restoration work and a lack of plumbing and heating systems have been the reason for lower offers. An earlier proposal to buy the
depot for $50,000 was nearly accepted last year before the potential buyer balked at the city’s purchase stipulations, which were designed to preserve the exterior of the historic structure. The Parsons’ subsequent offer – including an agreement that the buyers pay for restoration costs – was the preferred option of a City Councilappointed committee consisting of two Englewood residents and three “historic-preservation experts.” A contract stipulation requires the Parsons to maintain the building’s exterior, but not its well-worn interior. The city would also have first right of refusal should the Parsons wish to sell the depot at a later date. The long-dormant depot opened in 1915, but was abandoned 40 years later. The building is one of the nation’s two remaining vintage railroad depots with a similar pueblo-style design. The other is in Glorietta, N.M. In 1994, the depot – by then, risking demolition – was purchased by an earlier version of the Preservation Society and the building was moved from its original location on South Windermere Street to the north Englewood residential neighborhood where it now sits. The depot was eventually placed on the Colorado Register of Historic Places and underwent an incomplete restoration funded in part by the Colorado Historical Fund. In 2002, after unsuccessful efforts to find a suitable use for the building, the Society deeded the building back to the City of Englewood.

‘Positive’ Kentwood markets Landmark condos Many report change in attitude since Davidson controversies By Tom Barry Over the last few years, The Landmark’s two high-rise residential luxury towers and the adjacent retail center have encountered tumultuous times. Developer Zack Davidson declared bankruptcy and was indicted last December by a grand jury for embezzlement and fraud relating to the Marin Special Metropolitan District. He committed suicide in a Florida forest. The Villager recently reported that Palese, a Centennial RE/ MAX Realtor, had an exclusive contract to market the posh tower, settled out of court with the district for $100,000, denying any guilt. Palese is no longer involved in the marketing the distinctive Greenwood Village luxury towers south of I-25 and Belleview Avenue. “A lot of people ask us about the history of The Landmark,” said Gary Carlson, a broker associate with the Kentwood Cherry Creek real estate firm. “History is interesting reading, but ultimately history is history. We are dealing with today.” The receivers of this property in the bankruptcy action are Andy Miller and Dave Frishman of Miller Frishman. Earlier this year, the receivers interviewed at least three prominent Denver area real estate firms to take over the exclusive marketing of Landmark’s two towers, the Landmark and the Meridian. Kentwood was selected to market the residential units. “Our professionalism and integrity, local operations and local ownership are well versed in representing high-end properties,” said Carlson, a real estate agent and former luxury custom homebuilder. “We have our own inhouse marketing department.” Carlson and Darrell Hamilton are the listing brokers, along with two other sales staff. “We are all seasoned brokers and are open seven days a week,” Carlson said. The housecleaning occurred at The Landmark residential sales office at the end of March. Kentwood is now the exclusive company marketing these towers. “It takes a while to turn the tide,” said Carlson, who said he had just received two offers that day from prospective owners. “It takes some time to change mindsets.” The Kentwood group has five units that have either sold or are under a form of contract, since

Pre-season blues KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
Broncos keeping passing game under wraps Labor Day is approaching – where has the summer gone? It seems to always fleet so swiftly into fall and winter.
Skiers and boarders are counting the days but for many of us scraping that ice off the windshield with cold winds blowing is not enjoyable. What does make this time of year enjoyable is football, then Thanksgiving and the holiday season. But for many of us, the return of high school, college and professional football is our calling. High school sports are special for families with athletes; there’s nothing like watching a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter play sports. As far as college teams go, we root for those teams where we have connections. Some of us love University of Colorado, Colorado State University and the University of Denver. Our beloved Broncos have now
played three pre-season games with a 2-1 record. Like most Broncos’ fans, I’m scratching my head with all the Super Bowl hype when we lose one game 40-10 and the following week we trail the Rams 20-10 at halftime with Manning playing the entire first half. Hmmmmmm, what does all this mean? Well take heart fans; I think we’re keeping our playbook close to Coach Fox’s vest. If you noticed, QB Manning delivered very few long pass plays. I think we’re keeping our long-range pass plays off the pre-season menu, and that will be an awesome attack. I noticed in the Rams game, wide receiver Eric Decker was wanting more passes but instead we were running Hillman and Ball into the line. Broncos still seeking a star running back, it seems like we
have about four pretty good backs, including Knowshon Moreno, who I think is still the best. Now did you notice how our second team was much better than St. Louis’s second team? Our second team won the game and, outside of a last minute fumble, played very well. I think that means that we have some really good team depth and that the Broncos go really deep in talent. It looks like we will need the depth to make up for the growing list of injuries. We have plenty of running backs, a great passing attack, and the defense is going to be the question for the upcoming season. I think the Broncos have been playing possum on offense. Only time will tell.

Landmark a legal mess Continued from Page 1
any potential purchaser and to support the interests of the condominium owners while managing the HOA. On Aug. 22, more than 60 homeowners from the two Landmark towers packed into a conference room at the Meridian for a regular monthly meeting, according to several sources that requested to remain anonymous and are not authorized to speak on behalf of the receivers. Miller reportedly told the homeowners that the note holders were in serious negotiations with potential investors to purchase the approximate $100 million financial note for The Landmark residential and retail properties. The New York-based investment management firm of Neuberger Berman appears to be taking the lead in considering purchasing the lion’s share of the property’s note. “The residents are genuinely excited about the possibility of the sale of the note, in that the new owners will take Davidson’s original elegant vision for this upscale residential and entertainment and restaurant development to fruition,” said an anonymous source referring to a promotional video provided to early homebuyers. “Davidson was brilliant, but lacked a moral compass and was eventually done in with the economic downturn in 2008.”
The venerable firm of Neuberger Berman was founded in 1939 and is partnering in this potential investment transaction with SVP Global, an international alternative investment firm “… Our focus is on distressed, deep-value opportunities in middle-market companies where we can typically exert significant influence or, in some circumstances, obtain outright control,” according to the SVP website. “SVP typically takes an active role in transactions, whether driving the financial restructuring of companies facing bankruptcy, on ad hoc or formal creditors’ committees, or leading the turnaround of a business by driving the strategic and operational direction of the company...”
as the new firm may also be the new receiver and property management firm.
Receivers’ responsibilities
Miller’s direct and brash business style can be polarizing, according to some people who have worked directly with him. Miller, who has adamant supporters and harsh critics within The Landmark properties, received applause from homeowners for his efforts in spearheading this transitional process and for his efforts on behalf of homeowners. The current receivers have a fiduciary responsibility under the bankruptcy court to represent the court’s interest, along with the current occupants of the posh residential towers and upscale retail center. Both receivers Miller and Frishman sit on the HOA board, which has three members, including a homeowner from the towers. Each of the firm’s principals also took turns sitting with the legal staff of Burg Simpson representing the HOA at the recent weeklong trial relating to the Marin District. Sources familiar with the negotiation process indicate that this procedure could take weeks or several months to complete. The Arapahoe County Court will have to review all elements in the potential agreement prior to approval.
Potential new management firm
Denver-based East West Urban Management was also noted during the private HOA meeting, as being involved in the process. “East West Urban Management specializes in the management of homeowners associations in Denver’s rapidly expanding Riverfront Park neighborhood, as well as in providing concierge service, property leasing, and maintenance for residents,” according to the firm’s website. There has not been any “hard money” put down at this juncture, according to sources. It is possible that East West may replace the current receivers at Miller Frishman,
Koebel: ‘This has been a long, long, long, long time coming’ Continued from Page 1 single 671,00-square-foot development), into three distinct areas: a commercial area, a high-end residential apartment complex and an open space park, located next to the Sundance residential properties. “Housing for multi-family units are in the 1984 plan. This plan stairsteps in height from a park near residential areas, to high-end residential apartments, commercial office space and a hotel. The proposed buildings should relate well to the existing community. The plan builds in substantial setbacks of 25 feet or more, and places the commercial height as far away from the residential communities as possible,” McGee said. Walter Koebel, Jr., whose company has owned the property for 47 years, said, “This has been a long, long, long, long time coming. I am a patient man. You have to be, to wait this long to develop a property. We’ve tried very hard to listen to the neighbors; we’ve made substantial adjustments in the plan to accommodate concerns, including reducing the square footage, of-
fering a major park, adding a more pedestrian scale. The residential portion is first because it is necessary to activate an area in order to add viable commercial. We’ve added an extension to Willow, right through the property, to reduce Yosemite traffic next to residential areas.” Jerri Sue Blackwell, Hermitage HOA president, said, “This is high density, I think. We’ve created a sock with traffic sitting at the bottom of it, this isn’t one small development. This our community.” Robert Miller, the project’s design manager, said, “Our goal is to create a vibrant village setting. This is a walkable area. We’ve reduced the street-facing profile, hidden the residential parking.” Sundance resident, Nancy Sharps, said, “The southeast corridor light rail has provided an opportunity to adjust to changing demographics and trends. This has been in the works for 13 years, including extensive citizen meetings, committees, boards, urban land use surveys. We didn’t just plan for the times we were in. We planned for the future and I
support this project.” “I’m against this,” said Steve Lustic, of Sundance Valley. “I’m against it due to traffic concerns and quality of life. Apartments will decrease property values. It doesn’t comply with the master plan. This is the most important decision you’ll make on City Council. Don’t send it back to P&Z.” Karen Blilie, who worked on the master plan while serving on Greenwood Village City Council, said, “Back in 2000 we tried to anticipate what would be needed to attract future business growth and workers. We knew that only a plan including commercial space and mixed use, could help us keep revenues ahead of the needs of the Village.” “I own a Greenwood Village business and this is the first time I’m considering moving my office to where my employees want to live,” said Jeff Riggs, whose 20 and 30-something employees tend to cluster in downtown apartments. “Not everyone wants to own a home. We’re facing a new urban age. We need to respond to changing times.” Family-Oriented Dentistry in Your Neighborhood

After six years at the helm in Texas, Mullin was selected as chief of LFR, a department that serves 230,000 residents in the city of Littleton, the Littleton Fire Protection District and the Highlands Ranch Metro District. During his nine-year tenure as chief, Mullin was responsible for LFR becoming a full-transport department, improving the continuity of care for EMS patients. He secured automatic-aid agreements with South Metro and West Metro Fire Rescue, resulting in improved response times for the TrailMark neighborhood and the eastern portion of the district. Mullin began the accreditation process with the Commission for Fire Accreditation International, acquired larger office space for the Life Safety Bureau, reached an agreement with West Metro for LFR personnel to train at its
Letters to the Editor Councilmembers changing their word On Aug. 20, the Littleton City Council heard a final reading on the rezoning of 7620 South Platte Canyon Road from PD-C to PD-R. A fair number of citizens presented reasons for not approving the change from commercial to residential to include: loss of potential jobs, growing traffic that is already unbearable during rush hour, too high a density for the area. Councilmembers Cole, Beckman and Valdes all voted against this change referencing the Littleton citizens’ disapproval as the critical reason they could not vote in favor. Councilwoman Brinkman (the council representative for this district) voted in favor of the change, voting against the very people who elected her. Additionally, Taylor, Stahlman and Cernanec all voted in favor of converting commercial to high density residential. What makes this so unpalatable is the fact that Brinkman, Stahlman and Cernanec all ran during the last election on low density and keeping the character and tradition of Littleton. In fact, Brinkman’s campaign literature stated, “Balance growth (low density, diversified employment, appropriate retail and lowdensity housing) – I say, “LOW or NO!” Stahlman went so far to say during his lengthy speech on why he was voting in favor of this development was that it is on the edges of Littleton, as if this had anything to do with the rezoning. His campaign literature stated, “Build on the best of Littleton’s character and tradition. Favor progress but strongly respect tradition.” I helped elect these two council persons based on what they said they were going to do, however, they don’t walk their talk. They are just like the professional politicians we dislike. They tell us what we want to hear and then do what they want. I am not opposed to high density, in fact I think the Littleton Village project, aka Marathon property, is a great mixed use property and one I want to see succeed. The Meadows at Platte Valley are just too many apartments (250) in such an already overcrowded area especially when it comes to traffic. I am disappointed in Brinkman, my own council representative, for not voting with and for her constituents. I am proud to have Cole, Beckman and Valdes representing all the citizens and listening to what they say. I know how I will be voting in the 2013 and 2015 election. Val Watson Littleton
Bromley concerns I read with great interest the recent article
about political newcomer Monika Bromley announcing her candidacy for mayor of Centennial. Of particular interest to me was her membership on the neighborhood’s financial committee. This past week, I attended a meeting of that committee. At the beginning of the meeting, we were reviewing the budget and financial statements. After several minutes, Bromley placed the papers on the table and stated she wasn’t concerned with the “facts and figures.” I thought that this was an odd comment to make, given that a primary focus of most “financial committees” was “facts and figures.” Later in the meeting, we were discussing our neighborhood pool. Bromley asked how the pool was funded. The neighborhood pool is operated by a Metropolitan District (a special district) that all residents of the neighborhood pay property taxes to. She was apparently unaware of this fact. Like Mrs. Bromley, I have also resided in Centennial since its inception. I proudly supported the creation of the city, and appreciate all the effort that went into its creation. Therefore, that is why I am concerned about Mrs. Bromley’s ability to helm a city the size of Centennial. Centennial has many different revenue sources, including property and sales taxes. These need to be properly managed for the benefit of the residents and the taxpayers. I’m not sure Mrs. Bromley can do this, given that she doesn’t apparently know what some of her own property taxes are used for. I have one additional comment to make. Mr. Christopher Worley does NOT speak for the entire neighborhood with his endorsement of Mrs. Bromley. Mary Ann Neumann Centennial
Littleton city manager woes Littleton citizens requested a year ago that City Manager Michael Penny come up with impact fees to be charged developers to deal with the impact of development on the city. After much citizen pressure, a study was done that arrived at almost $10,000 per unit. Not pleased with this amount, Penny paid five times as much for another study that showed $5,300 as the right number. Penny assured the citizenry that all was under control and that developers were all notified that there would be charges applied for all developments. On Aug. 20, an ordinance proposal was presented to the City Council where Penny also showed a list of developments that would not be charged these fees. Developers at this meeting claimed no notice of fees. So City Council
reduced the fees to $3,700 to console the developers. Failure to timely complete the impact fee process, to notify developers in a timely manner and to respond to citizen requests to do all these things has resulted in loss of development impact fees of $4 m million so far. Meanwhile, two new tax proposals will be on the ballot in November to make up for revenue shortfalls. City Manager Penny will need his illegal severance package if this level of performance continues. City Councilmembers up for election can watch the results in November to see if their new tax proposals on the ballot are what our citizens expected from them. Betty Harris Littleton
state-of-the-art facility, put a fifth medic unit in service, and created the incident-safety officer position, improving safety for firefighters on the scene of incidents. “Chief Mullin has dedicated 40 years of his life to the betterment of this community and to the success of the organization,” City Manager Michael Penny said. “It was important to him to reach that milestone, which is very admirable and something to be incredibly proud of. John has some short-term goals he wants to complete by the end of the year. Other items are longer term, and he and I are in agreement that the timing is good for a new leader to work through those.” Mullin is a proud Oklahoma State University Cowboy who earned his master’s of science
degree in fire and emergency management. He has a second master’s degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix. He earned many awards in his career and his peers recognized his leadership skills when they elected him president of the Missouri Valley Division of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, an organization of 1,125 fire service chief executives encompassing eight states. He is a graduate of the University of Denver Public Safety Leadership Program and achieved Chief Fire Officer designation from the Center for Public Safety Excellence. Penny will develop a recruitment process with the LFR staff and partners.

I’m responding to the article published in The Villager, entitled “HOA Activist Monika Bromley runs for Centennial Mayor.” As a 10-year resident of Chapparal, I am very familiar with Monika Bromley and her actions as a Homeowner’s Association Board of Director’s member. I’d like to provide some fact-based history for the citizens of Centennial. 1. Monika was appointed to the HOA Board after her husband, Cory, ran for re-election to a three-year term in February 2012, then resigned within a month after he was re-elected and the fellow HOA Board members appointed her to fill his term. 2. Monika continued to champion the denial of solar panel installations to a Chapparal resident (as did her husband whom she replaced), which is a violation of Colorado State Law. As a result, the homeowner sued the HOA and the HOA was directed to settle the lawsuit including reimbursing the homeowner’s legal costs. The result: our Chapparal HOA financial assets were depleted by $20,000 (1/5 of our financial assets). Subsequently, a second solar panel request has also been denied, opening the community up to more litigation. Are these the qualities we want in a new mayor? Ignores state law and selectively approves home solar panel installations (neighbor across the street from those involved in the lawsuit were approved). I fail to see the accuracy of her statement of, “This is about the community, integrity, fairness, honesty and responsiveness…” I do not want the City of Centennial subjected to selective and/or unlawful actions this candidate may support if she were to be elected mayor.

Cherry Hills Village launches Obituary KCHV TV, Channel 22
T
By Jan Wondra he process took longer than Mayor Doug Tisdale had hoped – much longer. Cherry Hills Village has a new TV station, KCHV TV, located aT Comcast cable channel 22 on your digital TV dial. “We’re thrilled to finally have this wonderful venue to showcase the beauty and activities of Cherry Hills Village,” said Tisdale during remarks at the August 6 Cherry Hills Village City Council meeting. It only took 12 years of dreaming and planning. The new station concludes a process that began in 2001, when Cherry Hills Village re-negotiated its cable television franchise agreement. The intervening years saw the station bump along with some intermittent programing, but it took until April 2012, following the mayor’s election, for the new cable channel to move toward reality. Programming for the new channel, in its beta-stage, will include all the winning videos of the 2013 Mayor’s Competition for Student-Produced Videos celebrating the High Line Canal Trail, as well as the honorable mention videos. Also the channel’s initial programming will include a Comcast Newsmakers interview with Mayor Tisdale and Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky, as well as beautiful photographs of the Village, and reworked information on city services and events. The mayor was quick to give credit to city staff that made the launch possible. “Many thanks to the energetic and enthusiastically hard-working Laura Smith, our city clerk, for doing most of the heavy-lifting to get this great project off the ground. We could not have done this without you. And thanks to Sean McCabe for all of his technical expertise and assistance,”
Tisdale said. “A regular programming schedule is being worked on and many more items will soon be added, including video interviews with our councilmembers, commissioners and staff, along with residents,” said Mayor Tisdale. “In a few weeks we will also arrange to have some of the best of the program content streaming on our website.”
Cherry Hills Village signs go up
Observant visitors to The Shops at Cherry Hills, located on Old Hampden, west of University Boulevard, will notice something different these days. This tiny corner of Cherry Hills Village has finally gotten its Village designation. For some time it has gone about its business under the street signs of Englewood. Now the only commercial corner of this overwhelmingly residential city has street signs in the Cherry Hills red. “We’re delighted that we can now officially acknowledge The Shops of Cherry Hills as within our city boundaries,” said Mayor Tisdale.
Land Preserve fundraiser moved to Oct. 6
The popular Cherry Hills Village Barn Tour event has been moved to Sunday, Oct. 6, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Intended to showcase the community’s rural character and spirit, this harvest season Barn Tour is a look at three, modern-day residential horse barns, as well as a tour of the city’s new Fire House/Barn.

The entire harvest-themed weekend will kick off on Saturday, Oct. 5 with the annual CHV Community So-
cial & Barn Party from 5-8 p.m. at the Rady Barn. Because the events are a fundraiser for the Cherry Hills Land Preserve, social tickets are $75 per person/ Barn Tour and there is $10 suggested donation for the farmers market. For more information, Cherry Hills Village residents can go to www.chvlp.com or contact Connie Brown, cbrown.mod@ gmail.com.

Cherry Hills Village snowplows to take an artistic turn
Be on the lookout. Come this winter, the snowplows clearing the streets of the Village will become vivid mobile art, courtesy of Cherry Hills Village students. Councilwoman Klasina VanderWerf reports that plans are underway to paint just the plow of each vehicle in a neutral color, then allow students to submit art ideas to paint it with cheerful art that represents the city. “The city will coordinate this with the schools,” said VanderWerf. “The art will last for one season. Then the next year we’ll start with a fresh coat of neutral paint and new art. It’s an innovative way to encourage art at the student level, allowing them to participate in the beauty of the city.”

WELLSHIRE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Sept. 8. ReVive: Wellshire’s redesigned Sunday morning
Re stands for Relevant Experience; it delivers worship, music, education and fellowship opportunities for everyone through a four-pronged approach: Worship: 9 and 11 a.m. Everyone starts worship together in both services; after the Children’s Sermon in Living Water at 9 am and the Passing of the Peace in Traditional Worship in the Sanctuary at
11 a.m., children through fifth grade are invited to join friends for an education and worship service experience tailored specifically to them. Music: Wellshire’s Children’s Choir ReSound. Incorporating musical instruments, this all-new inclusive program under the direction of Juli Dowell gives kids and youth their own time for music and education. Instills songs of the faith and supplements faith development; student musicians will spend more time exploring sacred music in a creative, hands-on approach while still sharing prepared music in worship. Education: Child-friendly education options start for children at 9:15 and 11:15 am; adult and youth education begin at 9:55 am and span the gamut of Presbyterian tradition, church history and current events. Fellowship: Grab a cup of coffee and donut in Fellowship Hall after Living Water or in the Narthex after Traditional Worship. Connect with the Wellshire family for a ReUnion. Wellshire Presbyterian Church is located at 2999 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver.

Children’s Diabetes Brass Ring Luncheon kick off draws 100
T
he lush green foliage of summer was bending to the first touch of autumn gold, Aug. 21, when the Children’s Diabetes Foundation kicked off it Brass Ring Luncheon last week at the Zink Kitchen and Bar in the Doubletree Hotel in Greenwood Village. This event was the work of well-known kickoff and patron maven, Sharon Whiton Gelt. Adrienne Fitzgibbons is Brass Ring chairwoman, and was urging the 100 men and women on hand to get their tickets in right away as fashion rampside tables sell out fast and the luncheon always selling out. One kickoff guest declared the array of heavy hors d’oeuvres the best kickoff food ever tasted. The Nov. 19 luncheon is slated for the Marriott City Center where this year’s honorees are the children stricken by childhood diabetes. We were urged to get going and volunteer for event committees in honor of one’s own diabetic child or a friends’ child. Great idea. “It’s about a lot of shots, needles and injections” CDF Guild President Gina Abou-Jaoude said. Among sponsors already on board are Eunice Romano, Cherry Hills Villagers Deb and Bill MacMillan and their Crazy Merchant store in Littleton, and
Sharon Whiton Gelt, Allison Uhrig, Judy McNeil and Jennifer Barrow Saunders Construction. CDF Guild member Tangy Buchanan noted she had recently chaired the nonprofit’s golf tournament. Among those at the kickoff were Dianne and Dr. Max Bartlett, Ralph Bellizzi and Connie Genova, Chris Foster, Sally Frerichs, Dr. Ron and Chris Yaros, Steve Edmonds, Judy Chiodo, Emanuel and Bea Bugelli, Edie Marks, Ilene Milstein and Gretchen Pope, Diana and Paul Docktor, Chick and Chris Foster, Pat and Tom Lansing and Bill and Mary Walsh.

Nonprofit world
The American Association of Fundraising Professionals reports that average staff salaries increased up to 10 percent in 2012. The overall average salary was $82,028 in 2012, a 9 percent increase over 2011.
According to Andrew Watt, president and CEO of AFP, “2012 marked the strongest growth in fundraising salaries the profession has experienced since the recession began in 2007. This is another positive sign that charities are seeing increased giving and are confident about the future.” Wages increase for those with certification credentials. Size of budget matters as does an individual’s age, level of education and years of professional experience. No surprise there, right? The bad news is that the “Gender Gap Continues,” with men reporting an average salary of $102,710 but women earned $76,126 on average.

Evergreen Nonprofit Advisors
Jesse Wolff, past president of the Kempe Children’s Foundation and Goodwill Industries here, is now focusing “on a consulting venture” called Evergreen Nonprofit Advisors. That venture is composed of Jesse and his brother, Drew Wolff. “After 25+ years of leadership management in the nonprofit and investment sectors, I look forward to trying to manage myself,”
Jesse said. “With the nonprofit sector growing and the economic landscape improving, we think it is a good time to exit ‘survival mode’ as a nonprofit and go into ‘thrive’ mode.” Reach the Wolffs at www. evergreenadvisors.org.
Etiquette
An etiquette question arises here regarding what to do with donated items that aren’t all that wonderful. Some items come from shops or jewelry stores wanting to decrease their product inventory by donating some long-held items and taking a tax credit for them. One major charity bundles these items together in a basket that can be sold at the event or discounted when brought to postevent luncheons or board meetings.

Botanic Gardens lures 550 to Fete
By Glory Weisberg he Denver Botanic Gardens was in its full floral regalia at the Fête des Fleurs with a cheddar cheese colored autumn moon hanging just above the gardens’ lush trees, so it’s no wonder that the event sold out with 550 guests.

Making a clean breast of it By Peter Jones Superman’s iconic emblem meets cultural symbols of endurance. “I wanted to incorporate strength,” Englewood artist Christine Blackburn said. “It takes an order of strength to survive breast cancer.” And not just for women. Men constitute about 2,000 cases a year in the United States, or about 1 percent of U.S. breast cancer diagnoses overall. That’s part of the reason this reporter donated his breasts – such as they are – for this year’s Breasts of Colorado, the second annual breastcancer fundraiser organized by the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce. This year, I was one of two men, and more than 20 women, who humbly submitted ourselves to breast castings. These are sort of papiermache replicas of our bosoms, which were then turned over to local artists to get creative. In my case, the casting on chest hair was a rather painful process that I detailed with some post-traumatic duress in the June 27 issue of The Villager. It was a learning experience in more ways than one – about a more liberal application of inexpensive baby oil, for example. And, during those moments when I pictured a medical team being called in to remove my hopelessly hair-glued cast, I did catch an everso-brief glimpse of the pain, strength and fear faced by breast cancer survivors. Sort of. But not really. The whole experience kind of put the whole thing into

Fortunately, the money raised from my “endurance” will benefit Sense of Security, a Colorado-based nonprofit that assists breast-cancer patients with their living expenses while they endure the ongoing treatment and survival process. Models such as myself have ventured to raise money for the cause by way of friends, family, social networking and in my case, yet another newspaper article. When Blackburn stepped up to my breasts, she says she immediately focused on the concept of strength – tapping into Superman, in part, because his alter ego was Clark Kent, an intrepid newspaper reporter. What’s more, Superman’s virile chest could move buildings and locomotives and would have no doubt survived the rigors of breast cancer, if bird-like Clark had ever fallen into
that unfortunate 1 percent of male survivors. On either side of Superman’s signature “S,” Blackburn painted lesserknown icons of strength – symbols of Nordic, Asian, Celtic and pagan varieties, among others. On the back of the cast, she created an appropriately blood-red frame around remnants of my chest hair and included a quote from Catholic priest and social activist Thomas Merton: “Perhaps I am stronger than I think.” “That one was inspired by you,” Blackburn told me. “You have to endure – and breast cancer survivors have to endure, and perhaps we are all a bit stronger than we think. You said it was really painful, and I thought I had to incorporate that someway.” Blackburn is doing double duty as both an artist and a model, hav-

For that artwork, she plans to incorporate her longtime personal relationship – in part because of her last name – with the Beatles’ song “Blackbird.” Her only concern is to make sure that she balances her “darker” inclinations with her desire to present a positive message. “I have to be really conscious of my audience,” she said. “This is to collaborate and help raise money.

Englewood’s logo receives care By Tom Barry Each day thousands of drivers traveling on Hampden/HWY 285 pass by the City of Englewood’s massive eye catching logo on the south side of Hampden approaching the Broadway bridge. Recently, gardeners from Western Proscapes, an Englewood-based company, were tending to the foliage in the greenbelt area on the southwest corner of the intersection. The flowers add a brilliant dash of color to the community at one of few remaining green belts in the metro area. Upon walking up to the logo one can see good-sized rocks that formed the logo. Over time and budget constraints these white-painted rocks have seen better days, as they are in need of repainting. The area in which the colored rocks rest is in disrepair with the edges needing
replaced. This of course, is not noticeable from a distance, especially when driving past on the state highway at a good clip of speed. “Up until the late ‘70s, the area where the logo is was planted as an annual flowerbed using different color combinations to make the logo and background,” said Jerry Barton, a parks supervisor with the city of Englewood and “Play Englewood.” “In the ‘80s, we added irrigation to that area to water low growing dark green Junipers around white quartz rock that was cemented into place. That is still there.” The Junipers began to die in the early ‘90s and were replanted but struggled with watering restrictions. “In the late ‘90s the junipers were removed and have the area asphalted over so as to accent the white rock,” said Barton. “The rocks have been have been painted a couple of times over the years.”

The man with a dangerous job survives to tell the tale
Centennial resident Bill Bowser - the ‘Repo Man’
By Carolyn Dunbar, Centennial You might see him somewhere in the city, but you’re more likely to spot him on the south side between Centennial and his favorite lunch place in Lakewood. Everywhere he goes, he draws a crowd, and that’s no mystery. This is a man with eight cars. Two are everyday transportation, but six are nothing short of extraordinary. When Bill Bowser goes to lunch, to visit friends, to one of his many car club and association meetings, or to give a speech, he’ll be driving one of his stables of remarkable cars. “I have a 1965 custom-built tow truck built when it was near new. It had 14,000 miles on it at the time. We call it ‘El Cadimino’ like the Chevy El Camino
because I rebuilt it to look like that,” said 81-year-old Centennial resident W. G. (Bill) Bowser, with a 50-year career in vehicle repossession and towing to his name. He built two Cadillac tow trucks “back-to-back,” but no longer has the 1966 model. “The 1965 El Cadimino was in the International Towing Hall of Fame. It’s now on display at the Forney Museum on Brighton Boulevard by the Denver Coliseum. That’s my favorite because of the history of it . . . I’m glad it can’t talk,” he said, standing in his own four-car garage in a neatly kept ranchstyle home he shares with Sue Meredith Bowser, his wife of 24 years. They’re the kind of couple who call each other, “Honey,” hold hands and finish each other’s sentences. “I’ve got the patience of Job,” Sue jokes.
Sue was Bill’s business partner during the last 13 years of his career. He taught her to do repo jobs, including how to back up square to the target vehicle, use the “quick pin” equipment to “hook” the vehicle to the tow truck, and to drive away as quickly and quietly as possible. She got pretty good, he says. His 46 years in the towing and repossession business was rounded up to a half-century with four additional years spent towing donated vehicles for Catholic Charities. Sue had been urging him to retire from the repo business, and 11 years ago, he finally did. “I turned 70, and I got too slow to fight and too weak to run!” he said. In the garage, carport and separate shed — all at their home — Bill keeps a gleaming 1974 Cadillac El Dorado convertible, a black-and-chrome 1946 Lincoln Continental convertible that seems to stretch for a mile, a
Bill has built unique custom auto furniture like this sofa for many clients.
maroon 1949 Cadillac coupe he restored from what looked like metal shards and tatters in original photographs, a gray 1928 Ford Model A coupe, and a 1928 Ford Model T Roadster pickup with custom-built trailer to match. The bed of the Model T holds a permanent display of automobile tools from the 1920s, plus a gift given to him by a friend — a collection of original screwdrivers all used to build the Hoover Dam, which was dedicated in 1935. Each car is maintained in working condition. “The Model T drives about 7 miles per hour,” Bill said, “so I don’t take it across town as often anymore. But I drove it to lunch the other day, and the people gathered around it.” Bill has pride of ownership in spades. Every car that leaves his driveway is gassed up, washed and polished until no smudge would dare mar the paint, and the bright-work would blind you in the sun. He has license plates from all 50 states, Cadillac hubcaps fashioned into wall clocks, and photos of a lifetime in the towing and repossession business. His collection fills the big garage and continues in a small basement museum. Thousands of objects, memorabilia and models are on display — each with its own interesting story, which he will tell you in great detail at the drop of a hat. The space is stuffed with full-sized cardboard cutouts of Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne and James Dean. In the corner are bright red Model T tires with wooden spokes. Photographs cram into every inch of wall space. Hundreds of scale model cars stack up in case after case.
Bill Bowser stands beside an old-style gas pump. Bill’s huge desk, wrought from the business end of a real Cadillac, dominates the space. The accompanying sofa and chair are built from the same car. At one time, he specialized in making and selling this unusual custom furniture. On the coffee table — also fashioned from a Cadillac chassis — boxed cases hold his various identification badges over the years: Interstate Detective Bureau, Denver Repossession Bureau, Black Hawk Detective Bureau, and Midwestern Auto Recovery, a Division of Midwestern Detective Bureau. Bill was born in 1932 in Wichita, Kan., and after moving around quite a bit, settled in Colorado in 1955 and started as an investigator and repossessor for the Interstate Detective Agency. In 1960 he formed his own business, the Denver Repossession Bureau, and operated it for 11 years. From 1973 to 2005, he owned Midwestern Auto Recovery in Lakewood – one of the largest investigation and repossession companies in America with a fleet of tow trucks and many employees. In 1990, he founded and served as president of the Rocky Mountain Repossessors Association, “ . . . for the safety of repossessors and to work with repossessors in meeting all state laws and requirements both in the repossession industry and the towing industry,” Bill writes on his website, www.billbowser. com. From 1995 to 2002 he served on the Board of Directors for the Towing and Recovery Professionals of Colorado.

An unusual desk, but this is a perfect fit for the man who loves Cadillacs.
The Repo Man has many stories, but he enjoys telling about when Sue first became his business partner. “I trained Sue by driving down the driveway. I’d let her drive the tow truck and we’d get out and ‘hook.’ It was like practicing repo skills. I got her to where she understood what to do. “The first real repo we did together was in an apartment parking lot. But we knew the debtor was dead — he won’t be bothering us. Her second was at Southwest Plaza, an employee who worked there. It would be easy because his car was parked far away from the buildings. But

Photos by Carolyn Dunbar her third one took place in a culde-sac in the evening,” Bill said. Sue says, “It was summertime so the door was open, and so were all the neighbors’ front doors.” The car was parked right beside the front door. “Anyone could have seen us.” Bill said, “I was driving because I had more experience backing up square to the repo car. We jumped out and she hooked her side; I hooked mine. What she didn’t know was that on my side the wheels were locked and cut at a severe angle. When we took off, the wheels were going to roll over the rocks on the side of the driveway and make a lot of noise. I had to move the rocks out of the way. She’s back in the car, but she
didn’t see me moving the rocks. “The next problem was we could see the family on the couch with their backs to the front window watching TV. We knew we could very well get caught. It was a bad neighborhood, a latemodel Lincoln.” During the rock moving, Sue’s side must have come undone. “I asked her, ‘Can you hook your side?’ She said, ‘Do I have to?’ I tell you what, Honey. I’ll do the hooking. I jumped over the hitch, hooked her side, and we were gone. I could hook in an average of 15 seconds in my youth.” Bill is proud of his wife, sons and daughter, and his seven grandchildren, who recently gave him a Christmas gift for

“Repo Man” Bill Bowser with his 1974 Cadillac El Dorado convertible. the museum. It’s a deeply carved wooden plaque that reads, “Grandpa’s Museum — Free tours, stories, PRICELESS!” Among all the objects and stories in Bill’s museum, the two things he is most proud of have a special place on the wall behind his big desk. They are award plaques — one for Lifetime Achievement from the RMRA. And the other, just four years ago, commemorating him as an International Inductee to the Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum in Chattanooga, Tenn. His autobiography, The Man Who Took It Away, yields story after story about how Bill became a detective and “repo man” originally, and the many adventures he’s had in his colorful and very
dangerous career. Two years ago he released a newly edited version to mark the occasion of his address to the National Repossessors Association conference in St. Louis. He keeps a few books at the ready on his travels about town, and curiosity seekers will inevitably purchase a copy after hearing a Bill tell a couple of his hilarious stories. Anyone can read more stories at the We Check Towing USA website, www.wecheckinc.com. Bill writes a weekly column for the site, each story faithfully typed and submitted by his daughter-inlaw Carol Bowser, all under the heading of “And That’s Just the Way It Happened!” Sue jokes and asks him, “What are you going to do when you run out of stories?” Bill said, “By the time I run out of stories, I will be 130 and I’ll start making them up!” He belongs to the local and national chapters of the Lincoln Continental Owners Club and
the Cadillac LeSalle Club. These days Sue owns a beautiful paint horse she personally feeds and cares for every day. Her garden is spectacular, her handcrafted artwork brightens her home, and she still enjoys dancing. “Bill and I used to dance together what we called the Bowser Bounce. Nobody could follow him except me. I’ve done everything from clogging to belly dancing. I did ballroom, jitterbug, all the ‘50s and ‘60s stuff. Then I got into country music and line dancing,” she said. “I’m still putting another log on the fire and serving up the bacon . . . just a little Tammy Wynette. We’ve had a great life together.” Bill’s project du jour? “Right now I’m working on the [toy] pedal car project, making it look like the Caddy tow truck. I’ve got spotlights for it, but it’s not done yet,” Bill says, adding what amounts to his philosophy of life: “As long as I got something to do, I can’t die yet!”

Website says Littleton tops for young families Study considered mailing address, not city limits By Peter Jones
Add NerdWallet to Littleton’s list of recognitions. The so-named consumer-advocacy website has included Littleton – or at least some definition of it – as one of the best Colorado communities for young families. Littleton came in at No. 10 on the website’s list of the top 10 communities in the state when considering such attributes as good public schools, affordable housing and a prospering economy. The website called it one of the most affordable areas outside Denver and admired Downtown Littleton’s quaint historical charm. “Littleton has mastered the craft of converting old to new,” said Mike Anderson, who conducted the study. “Its downtown is lined with turn-of-the-century buildings that house a mix of hip restaurants and bars, quaint antique shops and art galleries.” In addition to the charm factor, NerdWallet considered five specific criteria – public-school ratings, average home values, cost of homeownership, average income and economic growth. An important clarification is that the study considered the entire Littleton mailing address, an area that includes parts of southern Jefferson County, not just the
actual city. The city of Littleton, while known for its good schools, is equally recognized for its aging population and declining housing stock. That distinction was noted by Mayor Debbie Brinkman with some irony, when considering the survey’s praise of “Littleton.” “Littleton is actually an ideal community for young families to come to,” she said. “We don’t have housing for you, but we’ve got a stellar school system and we’ve got one of the most incredible parks and trail systems. We’ve got a small-town feel. It’s a great place for people to raise their families, so they never left.” Ironically when considering NerdWallet’s conclusions, the actual city of Littleton has an average income lower than most of Arapahoe and Douglas counties, according to a recent report presented to the City Council. “We’re not the city full of Martin Marietta engineers anymore,” Brinkman said. “We have an older population that doesn’t have an income level and they bring down the statistic. We have lost the younger demographic. The only demographic that increases in Littleton is aging.” The top nine communities on the NerdWallet list, in order, were Superior, Highlands Ranch, Louisville, Erie, Castle Rock, Parker, Broomfield and Windsor

Grand Hyatt Denver completes $28 million renovation
The staff of the AAA 4-Diamond award winning Grand Hyatt Denver announces the full completion of its $28 million renovation with the unveiling of a new lobby and lobby lounge, Fireside | the bar, as well as the iconic Pinnacle Club, a 38th floor event facility with views that encompass the entire Rocky Mountain front range. The bold and dynamic lobby, with a focal point of a wall of narrow, lineal fireplaces stacked on top of one another and set in chiseled stone, rises to a 29-foot ceiling. The intriguing decor showcases Fireside | the bar where a wine rack holds 315 vintages in a tempered environment. The renowned and historic 38th floor Pinnacle Club has also seen a complete renovation and is now available for private parties, banquets
and events. Known for its sweeping views, Pinnacle Club is one of the few meeting and event facilities in the United States to be windowed on all four sides displaying over 10,000 miles of cityscape and Colorado Rocky Mountains. The new interior is just a notable, containing two large ballrooms, both of which have their own pre-function space. Grand Hyatt Denver’s renovation, which launched late fall, 2012, also included redesign of: 516 guest rooms and suites, completed in May; Grand Hyatt Conference Center, overlooking downtown Denver’s business and financial district, providing meeting and event planners a new Denver venue, completed in May; Skycourt, one of downtown Denver’s only outdoor rooftop jogging tracks and tennis courts with workout stations and shuf-
fleboard, completed October 2012 and Pub 17 on Welton Street, located on the lobby level, was introduced in July 2012, garnering a Sunset Magazine’s Editor’s Pick in January. Grand Hyatt Denver General Manager Greg Leonard said, “What makes this renovation such a standout is the blend of contemporary with indigenous décor. It creates interest as visitors marvel at the backdrop of solid onyx in the reception area and large burl tables, where guests are check-in or the signature, original oil painting of a Colorado buffalo adorning the lobby wall. It is all designed to bring the outside in; a reminder of the scenic and exuberant place that is the Mile High City.” Information on the Grand Hyatt Denver redesign may be found at GrandHyattDenverRedesign.com.

The Sie Center for Down Syndrome opened less than three years ago and the effort has indeed gone Global, as the foundation name implies. It is part of the Linda Crnic Institute for Down Syndrome at the University of Colorado School of Medicine that’s focusing on research and care. Cherry Hills Villagers John and Anna Sie provided $34 million to the cause through their Anna and John J. Sie Foundation. The Sies’ daughter, Michelle Sie Whitten, puts in long hours working for the cause, devoted to her daughter, Sophia, who has Down syndrome. The foundation’s Be Beautiful, Be Yourself Fashion Show kicked off at the Lawrence Covell store, which quickly filled almost beyond capacity as luminaries arrived recently. Ricki Rest is chairing the Sept. 28 mega-gala and the list of Leadership Circle members could fill a lot of Denver Social Register and Record pages were it still being published today. The YP committee is also involved. Kay Burke and Marilyn Spinner chaired the kickoff party that was so much fun to watch as models with DS were glued to their front row seats, enjoying Face Vocal Band live performance.

Friends of Nursing awards annual scholarships to in-state nursing students Submitted by LaFawn Biddle Nurses are on the cutting edge of health care, whether RNs, LPNs, CNAs, DNPs or clinical choice they’ve made. It’s the nurse who provides around the clock care when patients are ill, who promotes healthy living and comforts the dying as well as executing physicians’ orders. Since 1981 Friends of Nursing has nurtured nurse students in Colorado, offering encouragement and financial assistance via scholarships, to help them expand the profession. This year Friends of Nursing awarded more than $65,000 in scholarships to Colorado’s student nurse population in the eight nursing schools in our state. The Rex Monahan Foundation awarded $2,500 for single parents and early support came from the Presbyterian/St Luke’s gift to FON. The Josephine Ballard/Presbyterian Scholarship went to Shantel Gallegos from Colorado State University in Pueblo. Shantel wants to focus her work on children and their families to reduce abuse, neglect and suicide. The St Luke’s Alumnae Scholarship is funded in perpetuity by the St Luke’s gift to the FON Endowment. This scholarship goes to a person demonstrating pursuit of advanced nursing education. The 2013 recipient is Stacey Wall who is seeking the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree at the University of Colorado, Denver. The Greta Pollard Scholarship is named in honor of the Founder of FON, who is still very active in the organization. This year’s recipient was Valerie Smith from Adams
State College in Alamosa. Valerie, after observing the birth of a baby, is considering becoming a nurse midwife. Distinguished Named Scholarships continued to a broad spectrum of scholars. The Olga S. Miercort Scholarship, funded by memorial gifts, went to Kristine Snyder from Regis University/Loretto Heights School of Nursing, who wants to work as a graduate nurse in a medical-surgical area and obtain advanced degrees to teach. The Verda Richie Memorial Scholarship was awarded to Sara Knippa from the University of Colorado Denver School of Nursing. Sara seeks a Master of Science, CNS degree and doctorate to teach. The Margaret Lewis Memorial Scholarship is a gift of the Courtenay C. and Lucy Patten Davis Foundation as a memorial to Ms. Lewis, whose professional life was devoted to public health. Through her efforts the National Association of Home Health care Agencies was formed in 1970. This scholarship was awarded to Jeriel Chalk, a nursing student at the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley. She would like to stay in public health as a nurse practitioner to deliver care to families in need. The Theresa Brofman Memorial Scholarship is also funded by the Courtenay C. and Lucy Patten Davis Foundation. It honors the second president of FON who founded the Children’s Hospice Angels Befriending Children. MeShell McLeod-Mahoney won this one, from the UC Colorado Springs Beth-El College of Nursing. MeShell wants to work in Pediatric Intensive Care/Neonatal Intensive
Care or as a school nurse – or both. The Ruth Harboe Memorial Scholarship was established in 1999 and is given to an individual who exemplifies Ruth’s love for nursing and commitment to obtaining an undergraduate degree. This winner was Hannah Hofreiter from the UC Colorado Springs Beth-El College of Nursing. She plans to complete a doctorate as a NP in acute/ familycare and a certification as a diabetes educator. Rachel Bernard from the University of Colorado Denver was awarded the Viola Baudendistel Memorial Scholarship funded by the Greenlee Family Foundation of Lafayette, Colo. Viola was a member of the Army Corps during World War II, attaining the rank of Captain. She finished her career at Fitzsimons Hospital. Rachel intends to work in labor and delivery with continued education as an advanced practice nurse in order to work in public health. The Friends of Nursing/Leila B. Kinney Endowment scholar was Kayla Rudolph at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. She plans to practice in an emergency department or neonatal intensive care unit. This scholarship is awarded to an individual who demonstrates clinical excellence. The President’s Scholarship is presented to an individual who demonstrates the potential to be a leader in the nursing profession. Chosen for this honor was Juliette Holmes from Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. She wants to become a nurse practitioner. The Fern Howard Scholarship
perpetuates her interest in furthering nursing education. She was Director of Nursing at Presbyterian Hospital in Denver. The Fern Howard Scholarship was given to Kristine Timboe from Adams State University in Alamosa. She would like to work in home health or hospice. Katie Porter was recipient of the Galena Foundation Scholarship and a Monahan Single Parent Grant. A student at Metro State University, Katie is interested in advocating for patients and working for Magnet Status. The Helen Kelsall Scholarship went to Diana Byrd, a student in the nurse practitioner program at Regis University/Loretto Heights School of Nursing . She would like to specialize in pediatric dermatology for the underserved. The Dusty Biddle Memorial Scholarship went to Madeline Moore, a student at University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Madeline wants to be a neonatal nurse practitioner. Seven nurse students received FON scholarships. These included: • Carrie Bacon from Metro State University is interested in clinical teaching and working in the neonatal intensive care unit and home care field. • Stephanie Carino at Adams State University in Alamosa wants to work in women’s health and eventually be a family nurse practitioner. She commutes 100 miles each way to her classes at Adams State! Stephanie also received a Monahan Single Parent Grant. • Stephanie Jakob, a student at UC Colorado Springs Beth-El School
of Nursing, wants to work with medical non-profit organizations abroad. • Heather Moorcroft, a student at Regis University/Loretto Heights School of Nursing, wants to do home care as a nurse practitioner. • Veronica Novinsky, a student at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, wants to serve as a nurse in an outpatient or community setting. She has worked among Native American populations in Alaska, California and Gunnison. • Connie Robinson is a student Colorado State University in Pueblo. She would like to work on a medical surgical unit or in home health or hospice. • Kim Scarano, a student at University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, wants to work with families in crisis and empower her patients so they know that someone does care for them. These 22 scholars measure up to the mission of FON: “To advance professional nursing by providing scholarships for quality education in baccalaureate and higher degree programs in Colorado Schools of Nursing and improve the health of Colorado communities.” The following is the roster of FON 2013-14 elected officers: President: Juanita Tate; President-Elect, Sharon Kent; First Vice President, Pam Spry; Second Vice President, Judith Igoe; Recording Secretary, Kathleen Whalen; Treasurer, Ruth O’Brien.

DTC/Greenwood Village Chamber Goose Chase a success
A
By Tom Barry
fter taking one year off to recreate the event, the DTC/Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce reintroduced the all-new and improved Goose Chase, Aug. 25, to area residents. Numerous participants from the south metro area engaged in a 15- or 30-mile bike trek, along with a 5K walk or run originating at Village Greens Park in Greenwood Village. Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky kicked off the 17th annual event, which focused on family involvement and attracted nearly 600 participants. The chamber staged this event to raise funds for the Black Forrest fire victims, and their pets, along with the fire departments that fought the horrendous blaze earlier this summer in Colorado Springs. “It’s fantastic, we covered a lot of great neighborhoods,” said Joey and Katherine Moholt from Aurora, who road their bikes with their 2-year-old son Cedric in tow. The couple heard about the event through the website Living Social. “This was a very well organized event,” said the couple, who completed the course in an hour and a half. The event featured a course that snaked its way throughout Greenwood Village neighborhoods with the start and finish line at Village Greens Park. The Greenwood Village Police Department provided 15 staff, along with volunteers from the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol that controlled the route. “This is an important community event that connects family, residents and the business community for one day of fun and fitness,” said John Herbers, chamber CEO. “The committee did a great job, as these events just don’t happen. Due to Community Banks support, we were able to have a great day.” Herbers teamed up with Trevor Heaton, whose Centennial-based company inCause.com is the official fundraising representative for the Black Forrest Fire Department and victims. Chamber director Melissa Pieters, a partner with the Financial Foundation Group, organized the
The Community Banks of Colorado was the primary sponsor of the annual Goose Chase this year. The bank staff included Eric Marry, Terri Monrad, Chamber CEO John Herbers (back), Jeremy Agler, Keri Sandlain, Angelo Stratigos and Michael Sinnett.
Chloe Ashworth had her face painted at the Goose Chase. event. Alex Brantman, the chambers operations director, skillfully tied up all of the details, as the race received far more last minute participants than anticipated. Madison Herbers, 15, hand-designed the start and finish artwork with sidewalk chalk and then began registering the runners, walkers and bicyclists. Joe Sabia, 47, a retired firefighter from Long Island who was a first responder on Sept. 11, attended the event to lend his support to fellow firefighters. He and his wife recently moved to the Denver area. Thousands of orange cones lined the route, which included some major streets like Belleview. Twentyfive staff from city’s public works department were out at the crack of dawn to set up the event, according to Laird Thornton, the department’s manager.
The events primary sponsor was the Community Banks of Colorado whose staff assisted with the registration and other activities. KYGO did a live radio broadcast entertaining the crowd and listeners with country music. One ice-cold Corona beer was provided to those of age and was donated by Crown Distributing, as cases of chilled water was gulped on that hot and rainless day. Kentwood Real Estate provided all of the promotional and marketing support for the event. The event organizers had planned to have a local restaurant provide sandwiches for the attendees. At the last minute, the restaurant’s stove lost power and Terry McCullough’s Micro Center and Cherry Hills Marketplace Subway made and donated more than 500 subs for the hungry participants and staff.

WHAT’S NEW Englewood school children in grades K-8 to receive personal iPads for literacy
The Morgridge Family Foundation will donate $100,000 so that kindergarteners through eighth graders in Englewood Schools will each receive a district-issued iPad for use at school and at home this fall. The main purpose of the iPads will be for children to use a personalized literacy program called myON reader. Through the program, multiple students can access the same book at the same time, expanding the capacity of each teacher’s or school’s library. Students can even download up to 20 books to their iPads and read them anywhere without an Internet connection. The program assesses students’ levels on an on-going basis and provides reports to teachers.
DU launches New 6-Year BA/BS/ JD Joint Degree Program
With an increasing focus on the cost of higher education and reducing the amount of money and time individuals spend on their formal education, the University of Denver now offers a joint degree program in which students can earn a bachelor’s degree and a law degree in six years instead of the typical seven. The 6-year Bachelors/JD Program will place the University of Denver among the ranks of just 16 other institutions across the United States that offers similar degrees. Currently, there are no such courses of study in Colorado.

benches for different locations at Arapahoe High School, while Ducey installed fencing on the playing field also for Arapahoe High School. Schell did landscaping at Franklin Elementary School, and Wolff repaired benches and picnic tables, as well as landscaping

E
nglewood residents and other interested parties are invited to attend upcoming community meetings about Carlton Academy, a proposed charter school that would serve kindergarten-through-eighthgrade students in the Englewood School District. The founding board of Carlton Academy will be present at three separate events in October along with representatives from Englewood Schools as part of the charter-school application process. The events are open to anyone in the community:

Oct. 22
6-6:30 p.m. Special Board Meeting to approve or deny the charter school application All meetings take place in the Maddox Community Room at 700 W. Mansfield Ave. in Englewood. “These meetings are a great opportunity for community members to learn more about the proposed charter school, to ask questions, express concerns or support, and provide input to the Board of Education,” said Brian Ewert, superintendent of Englewood Schools. The founding board of Carl-
ton Academy turned in its second application for the charter school on Aug. 1. The first application, under the name Englewood Academy, was denied by Englewood’s Board of Education in October 2012.

Initially, Carlton Academy would offer instruction for kindergarten-throughfifth-grade, serving 200 students. After growing to full capacity, the academy would serve kindergarten through eighth grade with 450 students. “Dr. Lloyd Carlton Academy looks forward to working alongside Englewood School District to help bring academic growth to our community,” said Matt Whipple, president of Carlton Academy’s founding board.
