Kids raise funds for injured CHVPD officer First CHVPD officer shot in the line of duty recovering. Suspects still at large.

BY BECKY OSTERWALD MANAGING EDITOR Cherry Hills Village police officer Cory Sack was shot Aug. 20 when he responded to a report of a home invasion. This is the first time a CHV officer has been shot in the line of duty. According to CHV Chief Michelle Tovrea, a 911 call was received by Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, and when Sack entered the home, he was confronted by one suspect who opened fire. Sack was shot in the left leg above the knee and the right foot. He has had two surgeries on the leg to repair the shattered femur and will possibly have another surgery at the end of this week on his foot, Tovrea mentioned. A GoFundMe account has been set up for Sack and Tovrea said approximately $52,000 has been raised and an additional $900 was raised by area kids that set up a lemonade stand over the weekend. CHVPD is working with other agencies to apprehend four suspects currently being sought, but Tovrea did not have a description outside of two were black men. Anyone with information should contact the CHV Police.

A group of kids in Cherry Hills Village had a lemonade stand recently to raise money for Officer Cory Sack who was shot during a home invasion Aug. 20. The kids presented approximately $900 to the CHV Police Department Aug. 27. Courtesy photo

Englewood city council member Barrentine faces recall election BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

Ballots are being sent out this week to Englewood district 3 residents, due back to the city clerk by Sept. 18. They contain one yes or no question: “Shall Laurett Barrentine be recalled from the office of City of Englewood City Council member district 3?” Two former mayors of Englewood, Randy Penn (2011-2015) and Jim Woodward (2007-2011), and other citizens are leading a recall effort to remove Barrentine. The website, englewoodrecall.

com, levels accusations that Barrentine is a “bully,” “unprofessional” and “obstructionist.” It also refers to an incident at a May 7 city council meeting, at which it says that “Barrentine attempted to intimidate fellow council member Cheryl Wink so that Wink wouldn’t do her job.” Reached by The Villager, Wink, elected in 2017, disavows anything to do with the recall, saying “it is a citizen-driven process.” Of the May 7 incident, she says, “It is completely independent of the recall, and now everyone on council is getting along far better.”

A review of recent Englewood city council meetings, which are videotaped and available to anyone to watch on the internet, bears out Wink’s statement that the Englewood council is working together, with most votes being decided unanimously. As to the recall effort, Wink says, “It will be positive for the city when this is behind us.” Mayor Pro Tem Rita Russell told The Villager that, “The recall has no basis. There were problems when Steven Yates and Rick Gillit were on city council. That’s why they were voted out (in November

2017). This is the best city council Englewood has had in decades.” Barrentine, elected in 2015, told The Villager, “The recall is name-calling and mudslinging to stop me from exposing what’s been going on in Englewood. I have many people who are proud that I’m standing up for their concerns.” She believes that the motivation for the recall is evidence uncovered by a 2017 investigation by the 18th Judicial District Office of the District Attorney alleging possible misuse of city funds. The 23-page (redacted) report is contained on her barren-

tineforenglewood.com website. It includes numerous allegations of failing to follow city policies in the area of contracts and payments, however the investigator’s conclusion states that, “the overall review determined there was no evidence to support a criminal investigation and no further investigation is warranted.” Barrentine believes that a request for a forensic audit of the information contained in the district attorney’s investigator’s report, at the suggestion of the Englewood city attorney, is the real impetus for the recall. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Death ends case involving murder of deputy district attorney

he death Saturday of Robert Williams, 71, ends the prosecution of the man investigators believe murdered Rebecca Bartee, a 41-year-old employee of the district attorney’s office of the 18th Judicial District. “A murdered prosecutor. An untimely, but ultimately brave witness. A DNA match. The only thing missing is justice,” said district attorney George Brauchler. “From the moment we identified Williams’ DNA in the tub of our murdered colleague, our office and Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office investigators set about to hold him accountable for his inexplicable, cold-blooded murder and attempt to cover it up. We sought justice for Rebecca Bartee. The Bartee family and our community were denied that justice. “No murderer should escape responsibility for evil conduct. This community and our office can rest assured that the murder of their public servant deputy DA Rebecca Bartee has been solved. Whatever justice

Williams didn’t receive here, he surely will receive now.” On June 7, 1999, district attorney employees contacted the ACSO when Bartee did not report for work. An investigator responded to her home in the Copper Terrace Apartments on South Dayton Street, where he found her dead in her bathtub. The coroner classified her death as a homicide, caused by drowning and possibly strangulation. Bartee’s apartment did not show signs of forced entry or robbery. There were no rugs or towels on the racks in the bathroom – they were found wet in the washing machine. Technicians collected evidence, including fingerprints and hairs. Detective interviewed neighbors and family. People were ruled out as suspects; no one was identified. The case grew cold. In February 2017 a local news reporter contacted the sheriff’s office to say he had been approached by a man who said he had information about an old murder. Investigators contacted the man, who said he be-

lieved his acquaintance, Robert Williams, had strangled a young woman at the Copper Terrace Apartments years before. Investigators were able to corroborate much of what the man had told them, including that Williams was convicted in Los Angeles of the 1983 strangulation murder of his estranged girlfriend. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation had been able to extract a DNA profile from one of the hairs found in Bartee’s bathtub, and that evidence was re-examined in light of new information pointing to Williams. Ultimately, CBI analysts determined that the DNA on the hair found in Bartee’s bathtub matched Williams. Williams was arrested Aug. 29, 2017. He appeared in Arapahoe District Court Aug. 31, 2017, and was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Rebecca Bartee. “It is tragic that after 18 years of waiting for an arrest in this case, the family and friends of Ms. Bartee will not have the opportu-

nity to see the man charged with her murder stand trial and be held accountable for this brutal crime,” said senior deputy district attorney Chris Wilcox, who prosecuted the case with chief deputy district attorney John Kellner. Both attorneys work in the District Attorneys Cold Case Unit.

Timing is everything in a political world

Memories! What would we do without them? Both good and bad. The bad reminds us of times past, mistakes made, some better to be forgotten, but always a learning experience for the future. “If you don’t make mistakes, you’re probably not doing anything,” so goes the old adage. Another concept that sometimes can be ignored or forgotten is to disagree, but not be disagreeable. If we all agreed on everything all the time, we could just eliminate boards and have administrators and elected officials make all the decisions. If you serve on any board, it is admirable to speak up and stand up for what you really believe. We can admire Sen. John McCain for standing up for what he believed and receiv-

ing both praise and criticism for some of his stands. Strange how everyone — foes, friends, Democrats and Republicans are all praising him now. If he was a younger man, with all of this adulation, he could run for president and be elected this time. Sometimes fame and political fortunes come too late in life when men and women have either lost the desire to serve, or find themselves too old, or fragile, to wage the good fight any longer. McCain took on all foes and finally, cancer claimed his life, but not before a strong fight by this feisty senator and a prisoner of war hero. I’ve visited the Hanoi Hilton where he was a prisoner for over five years and it is a cement bunker-style building with a small

Help is on the way with multiple apartment houses opening, and more under construction across the entire metro complex. Council debates are ongoing in Greenwood Village on updating the Comp Plan that created such a stir last year. Newly revised plans are headed toward single-family dwellings rather than multifamily housing. In Centennial, a fuss is ongoing about a prospective new Mercedes dealership on Arapahoe Road.

The Senator will be honored all this week and will have a formidable funeral service later this week. President Bush will be one of the speakers, along with President Obama. Vice-President Pence will represent the White House. McCain was a maverick and both he and Trump had very strong personalities. Both have been strong advocates of the military and peace through strength, but not allies. Life is strange and politics even stranger. Trump will never be as popular as McCain, but Trump won the presidency and McCain lost. In politics, business and life, timing is everything.

located. Car dealers are one of the largest supporters of nonprofits and huge contributors to sales taxes to the various city governments. Arapahoe Road, one of the busiest highways through Arapahoe County, has been upgraded with new paving and a new interchange at I-25. This is a business corridor and will ultimately be a solid stretch of retail, hotels, restaurants and car dealerships. The prospective new Mercedes dealership should be welcomed, and the council should proceed to approve the new dealership. *** CSU drops their first football game at home to Hawaii As a Ram alumnus, I find this rather embarrassing.

Gruber spoke about the dynamic changes occurring in Aurora with a growth of 20,000 new homes in Northeast Aurora near the Denver International Airport. He also pointed out the massive reservations now booked by the new Gaylord hotel opening in December 2018. The council recently elected Bob Legare as mayor and he is on record not seeking reelection in municipal elections are scheduled in 2019. A new city manager was sworn

COMMUNITY ALERT A paid petitioner may be coming to your door to obtain your signature.

Please Decline to Sign this Petition A paid petitioning firm is going to ask you to sign your name to a ballot measure that would slam the door on Job Creation, Damage Basic Property Rights and send the signal that Centennial is Closed for Business. These paid petitioners – funded by Mercedes-Benz of Littleton – are pushing a measure that would stop us, an existing Centennial property owner, from establishing a Mercedes-Benz dealership on East Arapahoe Road that would create 100 high quality jobs and additional tax revenue for our city.

Stand for Property Rights and Economic Growth for Centennial Centennial citizens need to know what the petition effort is REALLY about. It is anti-competition and will hurt this community. The Centennial Planning Commission, City Staff, and City Council all supported a new ordinance that would allow only new car dealerships if they meet the highest design standards. These new design standards are: No vehicles are allowed to be parked between the front of the building and Arapahoe Road, vehicles park alongside the building must have 3-foot high landscaping buffer in front, so that vehicles are not visible from Arapahoe Road, only new automobile dealerships are permitted on a five-acre lot size, and dealerships are required to use the highest quality building materials (class 1).

Don’t allow an outside competing dealership, Mercedes-Benz of Littleton, decide what happens in Centennial by limiting competition and forcing a city-wide vote at your expense.

Support Centennial!

The loss of a principled, honorable giant of the Senate A longtime friend, war hero and distinguished public servant recently died. The legacy of the late Sen. John S. McCain is one that is reflected in the spirit of the American people he represented. He fought to preserve the moral, honest and collaborative values embodied in public service that guided his entire military and public service career. Throughout his honorable career, McCain had shown the courage of his convictions whether they were to stand up to the torture by North Vietnam soldiers or taking

the moral ground on opposing United States policies that condoned the torture of military detainees by the CIA. Until his death, McCain continued to suffer from the damage inflicted by the torture he endured during the five years of captivity in North Vietnam. He made the appropriate choice in rejecting the North Vietnamese government offer to release him from the North Vietnam prison ahead of fellow prisoners who had been incarcerated longer than he. As a Senator, he fought to

restore the deteriorating image of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status in the world because of President Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s myopic and capricious foreign policy initiatives that have distanced us from our strong strategic alliances. McCain continued to exhibit his courage by speaking out about congressional and administration policies when he disagreed. He stood up against his Republican colleagues and provided the deciding vote in the Senate to not repeal the Affordable Care Act that would have eliminated needed health care for over 20 million Americans. Throughout his career, he

did not hesitate to take principled stands on issues that he felt diminished Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-standing values and policies that could make our country less secure or more vulnerable to our enemies. I have had the privilege of knowing Sen. John McCain since the 1980s; having worked with him when he commanded the U.S. Naval Liaison office in the U.S. Senate. He cared about our active duty service members and veterans and worked with both political parties to achieve the best policies that helped all Americans. In a statement released, a letter that contained McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final words for the country

are: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country, we will get through these challenging times. We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.â&#x20AC;? We will miss you, John.

Three ways to build rapport across generations BY CHRISTA WARD 4GENNOW SR. RESEARCHER

f we all communicated in the same way, it would be easy to create a startup with a person from a different generation. Baby Boomers and members of Gen X-Z would all sit around the campfire and having plenty of â&#x20AC;&#x153;kumbayaâ&#x20AC;? moments. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly an optimistic way to approach your intergenerational startup venture, but when you come back to reality, you know communicating across generations can be challenging. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a challenge that everyone involved in your startup has to be willing to accept. Recent research shows for the first time in history we now have five generations working side by side. Clearly, establishing a rapport across generations is not just a desire, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a necessity. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one way to accomplish this because effective communication depends a lot on context. Here are three tips to help you build rapport

with your intergenerational cofounders. Our communication styles are based on learned behaviors and expectations. Generations expert, Amy Lynch, summarized this idea in her work on how to grow your generational IQ. Her Gen IQ test sheds light on the idea that Baby Boomers have a letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do the right thingapproach to entrepreneurship while Gen X tends to have a letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s get results approach. Millennials, she notes, have a letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do this together approach while Gen Z takes a more what should we do approach. More importantly, Lynch suggests,

after years of studying communication across generations, that the second you think you know what a member from another generation wants or how they communicate, think again. In other words, understanding how members of a generation communicate is the beginning of the process not the end. Be prepared to recognize and capitalize on the positive impacts different communication styles can have on your business. I know elevating the positive and eliminating the negative sounds like a clichĂŠ, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a good way to start building rapport with your co-founder.

here?â&#x20AC;? Some might argue itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the simple fact that both groups weigh their options before acting upon them and think about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in their best interests. Find moments to capitalize on the commonalities that will help to make your startup a success. Generational literacy and accentuating the positive aside, your goal as a startup should be to achieve success. In her blog on team building across generations, Kate Nasser reminds us that success is ageless. Let that sink in for a minute. At some point during the creation and execution of your startup, you will have to set aside what you think you know about a generation and focus on whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. And if you are a startup, creating a successful business is your primary goal. These are just a few ways to help you establish rapport across generations. Do you have some tried and true methods that have worked in your startup? If you do, share them here. We would love to continue the discussion.

Different does not have to equal bad. Focus on the positive ways to incorporate generational uniqueness into your startup. If you identify as a Baby Boomer and your co-founder identifies as a Millennial, take their need to collaborate and your desire to do the right thing and create the perfect vision for your startup. Similarly, if you identify as a member of Gen X and your co-founder identifies as Gen Y, take your fast reaction to change and their resourcefulness into developing an idea for a product that is both innovative and sustainable. Another way to build rapport is to focus more on generational similarities. For example, experts label those who identify as Gen Z as more realistic and Baby Boomers as idealistic. As an entrepreneur, you might be thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the common ground

Business owners and bankers got pointers about the new tax law.

Tax law changes brought into focus in the waning months of 2018 BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On Aug. 21, Rick Whipple of WhippleWood CPAs, PC in Littleton, gave a wide-ranging presentation to members of the South Metro Denver Chamber on the changes created by the Tax Reform and Jobs Act of 2017. He focused on the new tax law’s impacts on both individuals and businesses. Whipple said that there is no change to the current number of six tax brackets, but most rates have been reduced by two to 3 percent. The standard deduction has been doubled, which will result in more taxpayers taking the standard deduction instead of itemizing. Some charities are concerned that taxpayers not itemizing might have a negative impact on donations. Whipple explained that the personal exemption has been eliminated. In its place is a $2,000 per child refundable tax credit for dependents under the age of 18. It phases out at high-income levels. There is no replacement for the personal exemption for adults. The “kiddie tax” has been eliminated, so that children with income are no longer taxed at their parents’ rate. Whipple talked about the new limitation for all state and local taxes (SALT), an itemized deduction. The major components of that deduction for most Colorado homeowners are state income tax and local property tax. The deduction for all SALT is now limited to $10,000 in total, for single or married taxpayers filing jointly. (Married taxpayers filed separately are limited to $5,000). Another change to itemized deductions is the elimination of miscellaneous deductions, such as investment advising fees, tax preparation fees and unreimbursed employee business expenses. Mortgage interest is now capped at $750,000 for new mortgages and home equity loan (HELOC) interest is only deductible if it is used for sig-

nificant improvements to your home. Earlier it was believed that HELOC interest was not deductible at all. Alimony payments have historically been treated as deductible to the payer and income to the recipient. Whipple said that the new law reverses that for divorce agreements entered into after Dec. 31. Alimony payments resulting from agreements entered into beginning in 2019 will not be deductible to the payer or considered income by the recipient. Payments made after 2018 pursuant to agreements entered into earlier are grandfathered in, thus fall under the old tax treatment. Whipple said some changes made by the new tax law are only temporary. For example, the increase in the exemption for estate tax from $5.5 million in 2017 to $11.2 million in 2018 is set to expire in 2025. He explained that regular corporations, known as C corporations, have historically been subject to progressive tax rates from 15 percent to 39 percent. Under the new A

law, the rate is reduced to 21 percent permanently for all C corporations. Whipple cautioned small-business owners to work carefully with their tax accountants before making any significant changes to their legal tax structure because there are other factors to consider besides tax rates, the most significant being double taxation of C corporations. In the area of business deductions, Whipple shared that meals are still deductible at 50 percent, as long as all the required information to demonstrate a business purpose is maintained, but entertainment expenses like golf fees, admission to professional sports events, concerts and theater tickets are no longer deductible. Whipple said that there are other changes, particularly for businesses, in the new tax law, but he emphasized that some regulations for implementing those changes have still not been finalized. He said some aspects of the new law do result in simplification, which is good. fmiklin.villager@gmail. R

Arapahoe County is ‘ground zero’ in taking back country Arapahoe County Dems gather for Pat Schroeder annual dinner

BY BECKY OSTERWALD MANAGING EDITOR What began and ended as an energized Arapahoe County Democratic Party annual dinner Aug. 25, had a moment of silence for a giant Republican who had died hours earlier, Sen. John McCain. During the evening at the Doubletree Hotel in Greenwood Village, the annual awards were handed out and a rousing rendition of God Bless America sung by Carl Dixon and a keynote speech by Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Rep. Ed Perlmutter started the evening of speeches off by saying it’s time for Arapahoe County to get the vote out for Democrats up and down the ballot and “take no prisoners” because the country is up against serious business and its “time for a change in direction for the nation and it’s going to begin right here in the 6th Congressional District with [the election of] Jason Crow” to replace Rep. Mike Coffman. He added that

democracy is in danger with what has been going on in the White House. Jeffries started by saying that the current president is not like George Washington who could never tell a lie. It went from there to saying all the races this year are important for Democrats and that Arapahoe County is “ground zero for the blue wave” will begin with the election of Jason Crow to the House of Representatives. Most of Jeffries district is made up of immigrants which is what America is made up of. The diversity is a great strength for America, “no matter what xenophobic rhetoric comes out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” He admitted that the Democrats and Republicans have two visions for America. The Dems, he said, are trying to move forward and fight for the average American and the benefits that have been made. However, the GOP is trying to “turn back the clock” by fighting for the wealth and well off. The issues the Democrats are fighting for Jeffries said, includes affordable health care, keeping the provision that pro-

tects those with pre-existing conditions, lower prescription drug costs, keeping Medicare and Medicaid, and increase wages for “everyday Americans.” Also, he said, another fight will be to have an infrastructure plan that will invest $1 trillion and with 16 million good-paying jobs. The final item he cited was to clean up the corruption in “Washington D.C. to make sure the government works for the people” and to end the era of citizens united. “We have someone in the White House that I call him ‘The Grand Wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.’ A master of deception, a reality show host bouncing off the walls of the Oval Office masquerading as President of the United States. He had the nerve to call someone a ‘John Dean type of rat.’ When many of us believe he is a Richard Nixon type [of] crook.” He then went on to relate the story of Benjamin Franklin who said that the Continental Congress created an America is currently in an existential crisis in-that someone is marching the United States toward authoritarianism, threatening the Republic

Aquanaut running for CU Regent Attending the Democratic Pat Schroeder annual dinner Aug. 25 was Leslie Smith, candidate for CU Regent at Large. Although Smith has a common name, she is anything but common. She is a retired scientist and educator from the University of Colorado for 30 years and is looking for ways CU can cooperate with smaller colleges in the state and fight for affordable and accessible higher education for the residents of Colorado. Smith served for eight years on her local school board managing a $400 million budget. However, she was the first woman aquanaut to live and work in the Aquarius underwater research lab off the coast of Key Largo, Fla. that was created by the Founding Fathers. Jeffries ended his speech by comparing the current state of politics to an airplane ride. You

Barbwire Bob It was a good read and clever work by the four staff members. Doing without a car in the news business is very difficult as the reporters found out, and they had to cheat a bit to make their deadlines. I can’t imagine our crew doing without cars as they travel far and wide across the Metro area. I can remember a few years back when Aurora resident and County Commissioner Bill Holen and his wife experienced living on food stamps for a week. That attracted me to seek him out as a Villager contributing columnist. Transportation, food, and health care consume our daily lives and make up a huge portion of the political agendas. *** Had a chance to visit briefly with Mayor Ron Rakowsky at a well- attended fundraiser for Mike Coffman at the Hoffman resident in Greenwood Village Saturday afternoon. Several hundred guests at the Hoffman home with Coffman working the donor crowd. The mayor mentioned some awards honoring his city and Villager reporter Freda Miklin will be rounding up these honors bestowed upon Greenwood Village. Seems like many of our South Metro cities are being honored at high levels for outstanding achievements in Colorado and the United States. What a privilege to live in this county at this time. Traffic is a price we all pay for jobs, a strong economy and outstanding schools. I’ve lived thru boom and bust and believe me boom is much better. Nothing worse than communities dying and massive unemployment. *** Was at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden Saturday with the Denver Lions

Moving a 50-ton train is a huge undertaking, but this new engine is now home for life at the railroad museum. A top tourist spot where kids can ride a real train that circles around the historic railroad park, preserving a huge part of Colorado railroad history. *** Ended the week at the great home of Diane Bartlett, with fond memories of husband Max. Diane had a “Strawberry Party” that was well-attended by many friends. Surprise of the evening was to find my longtime friend and fellow DU Rick’s school board trustee, Don Mares. performing as guitarist and lead vocalist of the performing band. Don Mares now runs the Human Services Department for the City and County of Denver. He was once a candidate for Denver mayor. Mares has a great voice and sings John Denver and Neal Diamond numbers along with playing a great guitar. It is gratifying to see how others perform outside of politics and pursue what they really like to do best, play and sing music for the enjoyment of others. Good job Don!

A taste of Colorado inspired by a historical festival BY ROSEMARY FETTER STAFF WRITER

As the season comes to a close and the kids go back to school, Denver has one more summer festival to celebrate, the Taste of Colorado. A throwback to the 19th century’s Festival of Mountain and Plain, this year’s event will offer a tribute to its greatgranddaddy, with a special area dedicated to the state’s pioneer past. Ironically, both celebrations began with a financial crisis. The1893 Depression was sparked by the repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, which committed the nation to the gold standard and dramatically dropped the price of silver. This single act ripped apart Colorado’s economy, which was largely dependent on silver production at the time. A drought and agricultural failure led to widespread social unrest, commerce collapsed, banks closed, and rampant alcoholism and multiple suicides kept the mortuaries in business. By 1895, Colorado was slowly beginning to see daylight, thanks to a gold boom in Cripple Creek, followed by another the following year in the Ouray-Telluride area. Still, a morale boost was definitely in order. In a moment of PR genius, Major K.S. Hooper, a passenger agent for the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, suggested a major event that would put the state in the

A float from the first Festival of Mountain and Plain sports a medieval theme.

national spotlight. This grandiose affair would combine elements of the New Orleans Mardi Gras and a county fair, with a definite Western twist. Hooper sold the idea to the eternally optimistic Rocky Mountain News Editor William Newton Byers, who convinced other influential Denverites to buy in. Robert W. Speer, the city’s future mayor, headed up the festival committee, composed of Colorado’s movers and shakers. Bankrolled by astute businessmen, the extravaganza would showcase the whole state: mining, agriculture and

manufacturing. In a widelypublicized contest, I.M. Stevens won a $10 for suggesting the prize-winning name: the Festival of Mountain and Plain. Major Hooper, who must have been a non-native, originally suggested a February event, since “the weather is usually fine.” Wisely, the committee moved the date up to mid-October, which left only six weeks to prepare. They immediately hired J.H. Jordan, producer of the New Orleans Mardi Gras, to map out Denver’s big celebration. A highlight was the grand The Taste of Colorado is one of Denver’s favorite celebrations.

masked ball, whose appropriate theme was “The Slaves of the Silver Serpent,” a tonguein-cheek reference to the state’s earlier dependence on silver production. The serpent motif became the centerpiece of the fair, which now included a historical and industrial parade, Indian races, athletic events and dances. To bring more celebrants into the city, the railroads reduced round-trip rates to the lowest ever offered. By Oct. 17, 45,000 people had arrived and thousands were still on their way. Streamers in festival colors –white and yellow to represent silver and gold – billowed around every building. In a storefront window at the Denver Dry Goods Co., the figure of a beautiful woman robed in white satin held a horn of plenty, optimistically symbolizing the future of Colorado. For three days, the city went wild. The festival grand parade, called the Pageant of Progress, sported of an army of floats depicting Colorado’s rise from “an indistinguishable section of limitless mountain and plain to a rich commonwealth of widely varied resources, many industries, vast stretches of farm and orchard and great beautiful cities.” The highlight, a huge revolving globe floating on a mass of clouds, was labeled, “Admission of Colorado, 1876.” More than 40 exhibits stationed at City Park “in a vast open air State Fair, Mining Exposition, Horticultural Show and General Manufacturer’s Exhibit.” Even the schools closed during the carnival. Opposite the huge grandstand on Broadway, more than 400 schoolchildren dressed in red, white and blue created a “Living Flag.” Many of them had never seen a real Native American, so a contingent of Utes was imported from Ignacio, complete with warpaint and plumes. The Indian camp

was “picturesquely placed in a grove of cottonwoods, to the left of City Park Lake,” according to The Denver Post. Along with the country’s first Cowboy Band, the Trolley Musicale a unique musical was a popular highlight. Ten trolleys took visitors on moonlight tours accompanied by a band stationed in each car. On the second night of the festival, an illuminated bicycle parade featuring “a band on tandems” and 2,500 participants brought huge crowds downtown again. While musicians played in the front seat, a rider in the rear propelled the bicycles. The popular event continued annually through 1899, when costs got out of hand with the addition of a state fair, agricultural display and a horse show. Colorado took a year off, followed by another jamboree in 1901. The last festival in 1912 was the hottest of them all. In an obvious attempt to show off the fire department, the festival included the mock “burning of the new Daniels and Fishers Tower,” and a fireworks display that set an old warehouse ablaze with a fireball shot from the dome of the State Capitol. The party concluded with “the burning of City Park Lake,” when thousands of gallons of oil poured on the lake were set on fire, “transforming the lake into the appearance of a vast uncovered furnace.” For some reason, financial support for another festival would be unavailable after that. The State Fair moved to Pueblo, where it has remained ever since. In 1985, in the midst of another statewide Depression brought on by Colorado’s collapsed oil industry (Will we never learn?), the Festival of Mountain and Plain re-emerged as The Taste of Colorado. Today’s fandango is held on Labor Day weekend, when good weather and large crowds are likely. The Taste is mostly about food, highlighting more than 50 top restaurants and a fine dining area with gourmet cuisine and cooking demonstrations. Music keeps the action going, with five stages that feature entertainment ranging from country to classic rock. A kids’ stage for the little ones offers children’s entertainment, as do carnival booths, games and rides. A pussycat in retrospect, however, “The Taste,” wisely sticks to food, art and entertainment. Since the population of Denver has exploded since 1895 (and 1995), there are no plans to set buildings on fire, although locals might be tempted by some of the aesthetically challenging new construction downtown. Even a booming economy has its drawbacks.

Coffman and Crow campaign heats up as they trade barbs over super PAC ad BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On Aug. 27, 40 supporters of 6th Congressional District candidate Jason Crow, an Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran and recipient of the Bronze Star, gathered outside Rep. Mike Coffman’s Aurora office building to protest Coffman’s failure to disavow an ad by the Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF) running on local media, which says, “Jason Crow didn’t show up for work, skipping a third of the board’s meetings, neglecting veterans,” referring to the Colorado Board of Veteran’s Affairs, on which Crow served from 2009-2014. The ad goes on, “It was Crow’s job to advocate for veterans, but Crow failed Colorado veterans, and they suffered because of mismanagement at the VA.” CLF describes itself as “a super PAC exclusively dedicated to protecting and strengthening the Republican majority in the House of Representatives.” The ad states that it is “not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee.” The gathering included at least a dozen military veterans, along with Crow supporters wearing campaign t-shirts. Greenwood Village resident and active Democrat Bernie Rogoff, 88, was the first to speak, followed by three other disabled veterans. None accused Coffman of not caring about veterans. They said he hadn’t done enough to help them. They believe that Crow would do more. The Villager spoke to eight-year U.S. Navy veteran Christopher Savin, who said he lived in Denver and took public transportation to come to the protest. Savin said he

We need a congressman that represents us like [the late Sen. John] McCain did and stands up for the values of this country.” Vietnam veteran Artie Guerrero said, “Mike Coffman has endorsed the administration 96 percent of the time.” Travis Weiner said he was an Iraq veteran who attended C.U.’s law school and worked on veterans’ issues in the criminal justice system in the Boulder district attorney’s office. He said he met Crow six months ago and that Crow has never questioned Coffman’s concern for vets, but that Coffman is wrong not to “disavow the dishonorable, misleading (CLF) ad.” Weiner went on to say that he doesn’t

Mitch Schwartz, communications director for the Crow campaign, said that Jason Crow was not at the protest because he was not invited. In response to the accusation in the ad about attendance at Colorado Board of Veteran’s Affairs meetings, Schwartz said that Crow had only three unexcused absences in five years and that board chair Ralph Bozella had described Crow as an “extraordinary member of the board.” Coffman campaign manager Tyler Sandberg responded to the demand that Coffman disavow the super PAC ad. He said, “Mike Coffman is a Marine who was deployed overseas five times. But here’s the thing - his service to America and his fellow veterans didn’t stop when

LPS goes all in for the future BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

At its regular board meeting Aug. 23, the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education (LPS) took three major interrelated steps to ensure its students have every opportunity for success. All three actions were approved unanimously.

Diane Doney, LPS assistant superintendent of business services/chief financial officer, accompanied by community member Brian Bostwick, told the board that the long-range planning committee, whose goal was, “To review the district physical plant, program capacity, enrollment boundaries, transportation routing and major capital equipment requirements, and determine what improvements to efficiency, sustainability, and infrastructure needs may be required during the next five to 10 years,” met 25 times between April 2017 and July 2018, to accomplish its goals. She said there were 15 to 20 community members and two staff members, including herself, present at most meetings. After careful and detailed analysis, the committee recommended a bond package that would, “improve safety and security at school buildings, provide a career, technical, and innovation center to provide collegelevel courses and career-focused learning for more students,… repair, renovate or reconstruct aged school buildings to be safer, more efficient and accessible to all students, including those with physical disabilities, and provide a classroom environment necessary to teach the skills for college, military service and careers of the future.” To accomplish these goals, the committee recommended that LPS rebuild Newton Middle

School and add a new junior stadium, rebuild and reopen Ames Elementary as a neighborhood school, and construct a new elementary school with five classes for each grade level, to serve the current Highland and Franklin Elementary communities, on the current campus of Franklin Elementary. The committee also recommended the acquisition of updated furniture throughout the district to facilitate modern instruction methods. After hearing from several community members, as well a representative of LPS teachers, all of whom agreed with the committee, the school board voted unanimously to submit a bond package totaling $296 million to LPS district residents in November. To ensure careful monitoring of spending, the proposed bond document provides that the expenditure of bond proceeds, “will be monitored by a board of education-appointed oversight committee of residents, and such expenditures will be reported in the district’s independent audit published on the district’s website.” Jack Reutzel, board president, asked Doney what the cost of the bond issue would be to taxpayers. She said it would be in the range of $29 to $49 per $100,000 of actual value, depending on whether constitutional Amendment 73 passes, which would reduce residential property taxes in favor of higher state income taxes to Colorado’s highest earners.

Support for Amendment 73

Certified for the November ballot is a statewide school funding initiative that would raise $1.6 billion in annual revenue for K-12 by increasing state income taxes on individuals with taxable income over $150,000 and all “C” corporations. If approved, LPS would receive $23 million, which it would use for several

programs, including full-day kindergarten. While increasing school funding, Amendment 73 could also result in some homeowners’ seeing their property tax bills lowered. The parent community encouraged the LPS school board to pass a resolution in support of Amendment 73. The board enthusiastically complied.

Acquisition of Schomp property

LPS has been trying to find a location to create a new career and technical education (CTE) and innovation center for the district that is accessible by public transportation since many LPS students don’t have access to cars. The board’s goal is to provide hands-on learning experiences for students who plan to enter the workforce after graduation, enabling more students to earn an industry certification or two-year associate degree, and give students who plan to pursue a four-year degree in a CTE field a head start that will lessen their cost of college. Programs LPS hopes to offer at this school include automotive, aviation, computer coding, drones and robotics technology, healthcare and construction trades. At the Aug. 23 meeting, the board approved an agreement to purchase a 5-acre property at 190 E. Littleton Blvd., a central location for district high schools, from the Schomp family, longtime LPS supporters. The terms of the sale include a purchase price between $7 million and $8 million, to be determined by appraisal at a later date, however LPS will only pay 85 percent of the final price, the remaining 15 percent to be donated by the Schomp family but will not be completed for two to three years. The agreement contains options for LPS to cancel if it does not have all necessary approvals to proceed.

Many Coloradans think it’s safe to drive after a few alcoholic drinks, but drivers can reach the DWAI (Driving While Ability Impaired — 0.05 percent) or DUI (Driving Under the Influence — 0.08 percent) limits after only one or two drinks. As part of its summer campaign to prevent DUI, CDOT has partnered with the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility (Responsibility.org) to offer 200 BACtrack mobile breathalyzers to young adults in Colorado, free of charge. The free breathalyzers are funded by Responsibility.org. CDOT and Responsibility. org are seeking young adults, ages 21 to 34 years old, to receive the limited supply of free breathalyzers. Those interested can apply at breatha-

lyzer.codot.gov. “We’re doing everything in our power to make personal breathalyzers accessible to Coloradans,” said CDOT communications manager Sam Cole. “We’re grateful for the contribution by Responsibility.org to get even more of these devices into the hands of young adults. Breathalyzers help eliminate the guesswork and clearly inform people how long they need to wait until they are back to zero.” This free breathalyzer program is funded by Responsibility.org, which brings more than 25 years of leadership in the fight against drunk driving and underage drinking. “We believe conversations about alcohol responsibility should begin early and last a lifetime. Reaching young adults will help them build a foundation to make responsible decisions when drinking,” said Responsibility.org

president and CEO Ralph Blackman. “Breathalyzers are an innovative approach to responsible consumption and education. Impaired driving is preventable, and breathalyzers are another resource in the fight to eliminate this dangerous practice.” CDOT, Responsibility.org and BACtrack aim to increase awareness that breathalyzers should be used in any drinking setting. The goal is to normalize the act of checking your blood alcohol content (BAC) before deciding to drive. Each year in Colorado, more than 20,000 people are arrested for DUI. Smartphone breathalyzers are a tool to help drinkers make better decisions, but CDOT and Responsibility.org recommend always having a safe ride planned before you start drinking.

South Suburban’s Public Art Committee debuts new sculpture at Cherry Knolls Park SUBMITTED BY JAMIE DEBARTOLOMEIS

Cherry Knolls Park now features a permanent piece of art, thanks to South Suburban’s Public Art Committee (SSPAC). David Farquharson’s sculpture entitled, Pennant Whimsy, was installed at the south end of the park, across from Carl Sandburg Elementary. Cherry Knolls Park is located at 7077 S. Elizabeth St., Centennial. South Suburban Parks and Recreation (SSPR) held a public input meeting in January 2017, and invited residents of Cherry Knolls Park to discuss the addition of public art in the park. A call for artists was issued and the SSPAC recommended the installation of Pennant Whimsy by David Farquharson of Aurora. The sculpture resembles

wind-blown pennant flags on top of wavy flag poles. Each pennant uses different meshed metal materials to create multiple moiré effects, creating the illusion of motion along its surface. Farquharson incorporated the colors of nearby schools in the design. The sculpture is made of aluminum and stainless steels and is painted a variety of colors. The sculpture’s poles are 16-feet tall and span eight-feet in diameter. SSPAC is a volunteer advisory committee appointed by the South Suburban board of directors. SSPAC reviews and recommends temporary and permanent art displays and their placement in parks and facilities. The committee also advises on other artistic projects throughout SSPR.

Desmond has continued to contribute important hits in crucial situations. He now has 20 home runs and 74 RBI. Cargo is hitting a respectable .290 while pounding out game-changing hits. The downside for the Rockies came as the result of flawed pitching performances that led to the two losses to the Cardinals. In Friday’s game, Antonio Senzatela gave up seven runs in 4.1 innings in

In the past 20 games started by Jon Gray, Kyle Freeman and German Marquez the Rockies are 26-3. The discouraging losses have occurred when other starters or the bullpen have faltered. The good news is that after you compute the pluses and minuses the Rockies have a solid record of 71 wins and 59 losses, just one game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League West. This week they’re in Anaheim for a short two-game series with the Angels then on to Petco Park in San Diego for a four-game weekend series with the Padres.

The Rockies rebounded Saturday when German Marquez shut out the Cardinals for seven innings while the supercharged offense drove in eight runs with 10 hits including a club record five doubles in a 9-1 win. Then Sunday starter Tyler Anderson couldn’t even get out of the first inning allowing six runs before the Rockies ever came to bat. That one ended up being a discouraging 12-3 drubbing. The message is clear. The Rockies have surged in the standings this season based on the consistent performance of their young starting rotation.

Wine for a cause with Englewood Rotary What if someone could score a fun evening, make new friends, drink nice wine and do a good deed, all for $50? Well, it’s possible at the 2nd Annual Fall Harvest Wine-tasting of the Rotary Club of Englewood Friday, Sept. 21, at 6 p.m. at The Guild in Englewood. “We had a blast last year, and we want to spread the word about how much fun we can make fund-raising,” said Englewood Rotary president Ed Koerperich. The fun is tasting and comparing award-winning One Hope wines and voting for the best. Voting will be done by dropping a ballot-cork in the bowl.

There will also be the opportunity to chat with wine experts about what makes a good wine, starting with climate, soil and winemaker. The event benefits the Englewood Rotary Foundation, a nonprofit organization. One major project helps military and veteran families around the holidays and at other times of financial crisis.

LETTERS

Local resident challenges Sheriff in unincorporated Arapahoe County Colorado laws don’t change unless the legislature changes them. Disabled parking laws weren’t changed. The C.R.S. is very clear in who can get a placard/plate and how it can be used or not used. The sheriff’s department doesn’t know these laws to enforce them. Hunters Run Condos has 14 legal disabled spaces. Two are reserved for two units; two for a building; and the rest are generic. The problem is; there are three people with the right to use them in Building F, but

two spaces with two more in Building G with only one using it. The only one in a chair (motorized) won’t park in Building G, as she has a reserved spot in Building F. The second one reserved made me see red, so not only did I call the sheriff on this but also the homeowners association and covered up with paper/tape the unit numbers. That got a call with Deputy Duane Fox coming out to tell her, in front of me and another deputy, state law does not allow for any reserved disabled parking spaces. The HOA did that as a courtesy to her.

He was asked by me to also call the HOA management office which he did. On Aug. 4, two spaces are free and my car with a legal placard visible gets towed either by the sheriff or with their help. The car that took me 2.5 years to afford as well as getting seriously ill has now disappeared. I can’t afford to get it out of impound, so I’m back on the bus until someone does the right thing and returns the car at no cost to me. J.M. Fay Unincorporated Arapahoe

Can I have this dance?

BY DOROTHY ROSBY My husband and I are staying in a place where the guests dress for dinner and the housekeeping staff leave chocolates on the pillows. There’s luxury everywhere you look and what are we doing? We’re in the lounge dancing a polka. They really do cater to your every whim on a cruise ship. We decided to celebrate our 30th anniversary with our first cruise, a voyage down the Inside Passage. Our actual anniversary date is Oct. 22, but an Alaskan cruise that late in the year didn’t seem prudent. And anyway, I’m still planning on being married by then, even though my spouse requested the polka. We boarded the ship in Whittier, Alaska and I’ve been humming North to Alaska ever since—except right after the safety training, when I hummed the Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald for a few anxious hours. Of course, that’s been replaced with the Beer Barrel Polka, which is only slightly less disturbing. There are a lot of things to do on board a cruise ship besides humming, watching the scenery and embarrassing yourself on the dance floor. Two of the main ones are eating and drinking. I’m not much of a drinker, but I do eat. And there’s fabulous food available at all hours and a place where you can get soft serve ice cream anytime you want it. Turns out I want it fairly often. Honestly, I haven’t felt an actual hunger pang since I left home. With some exceptions, food is included in the cost of our package. At first, it felt odd to walk out of the restaurant without paying, but it quickly became a habit. I hope I can break it when I get back on land. We’ve gotten off the ship in

Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. A tour guide told us Alaska’s major industries are fishing and oil production, and I think selling jewelry might come in a close third. On every block, there are jewelry stores catering to the tourists who still have money left after paying for the cruise. We don’t, so our only souvenirs are caps to add to my husband’s collection. He already has more caps than the American League, but caps tend to be cheaper than diamonds. We went on a whale watching excursion in Juneau, hiked in Skagway and spent a day swimming in Ketchikan. I’m kidding, but it did rain the entire time we were in the salmon capital of the world. Fortunately, we were smart enough to pack umbrellas. Unfortunately, we weren’t smart enough to bring them with us when we got off the ship. Lucky we had the caps. And now we’re back on the ship, dried off and dancing. When the band leader asked for requests, my husband suggested a polka. I thought he was joking. The band leader didn’t see it that way. We’ve taken dance classes, though you can’t tell by watching us dance. Despite the classes, we like to wait until the dance floor is full before we get out there. But, either no one else here knows how to polka or they won’t admit it. I felt obligated since the request came from us, so I leaned over to my dance partner of 30 years and whispered in his ear, “Let’s dance. We’ll never see these people again.” Dorothy Rosby is the author of the humor book, I Didn’t Know You Could Make Birthday Cake from Scratch: Parenting Blunders from Cradle to Empty Nest.

Dr. VanderArk shows off his celebration gift – a bicycle shirt with his mantra: We Can! We Must! We Will!

Speakers who shared humorous “stories” about the mentoring, inspiration and bonding with Dr. VanderArk were Molly Markert, Anne Taylor and Gretchen Hammer.

Doctors Care – passion, drive, commitment for the medically underserved Revered Dr. Gary VanderArk spotlighted

octors Care provides access to quality, affordable health care and services designed to reduce barriers to health for low-income people in need. Thirty years ago, the vision of Dr. Gary VanderArk was equity for all mankind. He and other doctors got together to serve the needs of the South Metro area of Denver. “We had a leap of faith for funding,” he admitted. Because of many partners and sponsors, it was a sweet celebration culminating with cake, of course. Held at The Barn at Raccoon Creek, the 30th birthday of Doctors Care included many “stories” which Dr. Gary VanderArk is known for, and he doesn’t even need a microphone. The gracious

doctor who has given so much to the community and so many organizations tagged himself as the person in charge of saying “thank you!” He thanked many including recognizing Junior League of Denver who supported the early days with volunteers – something that hadn’t even been considered. “Thirty years of Doctors Care has brought pure joy to my life,” he said. Jennifer Wittenberg gave a patient’s perspective. “Doctors Care has a long-term commitment to care regardless of ability to pay. I am so grateful for my own diagnosis and trustworthy medical advice. Thousands of lives shave been impacted. We help others then, others help us.” Musical entertainment and master of ceremonies duties were provided by Littleton

Adventist Hospital COO Geoff Lawton. Admired Doctors Care CEO Bebe Kleinman, as a thank you for her dedication, received a bouquet of 30 roses commemorating the anniversary and a huge round of applause. Other news included VanderArk’s announcement that he will be stepping down as board chair and beginning January 2019, Ellen Burkett will fill that role. Katie Spong Lozano, M.D. with Virtual Radiology will assume the position of vice chair. She is immediate past president of the Colorado Medical Society (CMS) and is running to represent CMS at the American Medical Association.

Ting is building a fiber Internet network right here in Centennial.

What is fiber Internet? Glad you asked. Fiber is infrastructure built for the Internet. Most of us are used to using a copper Internet connection. Copper networks were built for telephones and later cable TV. But we’ve evolved well beyond dial-up. Fiber outperforms copper in every way. With fiber, you don’t compete with your neighbor’s connection. Stream, game and video chatCO crystal clear and crazy fast. For busy families, Centennial, there’s no more hogging the bandwidth.
