Longtime resident enters race for Greenwood Village City Council Attorney and longtime Greenwood Village resident Tom Dougherty has announced his candidacy for City Council representing the city’s District 4. “This is a wonderful city in which to live,” he said in his announcement, “from the rural beauty of the western neighborhoods to the near-urban opportunities in the eastern part of the city.” In the wake of a failed ballot initiative earlier this year to allow a high-density development east of I-25, Dougherty’s campaign stresses the intentional history of the once-rural city south of Denver. Tom Dougherty “Just as early Greenwood Village residents worried about development spreading from Denver and impacting their Continued on page 2

cent jurisdictions on traffic flow solutions and continue to protect and enhance our great quality of life in the village,” the candidate said. Jones earned his master’s in city planning from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after completing studies at the University of California at Berkeley, where he earned his bachelor of arts in landscape architecture.

While there is relatively little land within the city that remains to be developed, Dougherty said, “such redevelopment done in a thoughtful manner can be a good thing as it brings new life to the city and in some instances can help generate the revenue the city needs.” As an attorney, Dougherty has represented local governments and landowners on infrastructure and landdevelopment projects and helped craft state legislation on such issues as renewable energy and ride-sharing. “I have years of professional experience successfully navigating the same types of challenges Greenwood Village now faces, and these are

the same skills and experiences that I hope to bring to City Council,” he said. Dougherty was previously an engineer on projects that ranged from nuclearpower plants to the space shuttle. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Sundance Hills Metropolitan District and the Greenwood Village Board of Adjustments and Appeals. “As chairman, my personal goal has been to ensure that every resident who comes before the [Board of Adjustment] leaves feeling that they have been treated with respect and they have had a fair opportunity to be heard as part of a transparent decision-making process,” he said. The candidate touts his bono work establishing the Greenwood Village Police Foundation. He is also cochairman of the Colorado Energy Coalition, serving on its Public Policy Committee. He is a member of the Board of Governors of the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation.
Centennial Truhlar runs for re-election
Centennial City Councilmember Doris Truhlar has announced she will seek a second term representing the city’s west-central District 2. “I have been an excellent councilwoman for the past four years and look forward to continuing to serve Centennial,” she said. “When I ran four years ago, I promised not to raise taxes. I have kept that promise. Not only that, but Centennial’s sales tax is among the lowest for cities our size at only 2.5 percent, and I will fight to keep it low.” Truhlar, an attorney, has lived in Centennial’s Palos Verdes since 1983. The candidate touted Centennial’s new fiber-optic service, which provides fast internet service to Centennial residents and businesses by partnering with private in-
Doris Truhlar dustry. Fiber, she said, has become an essential service. “Centennial is now the most connected city in the United States with 96 percent of our citizens being hooked up, either at work or home,” the councilmember said. Truhlar has also pushed for the undergrounding of what she describes as unsafe and unsightly utility lines on East Orchard Road. “This has been a three-
plus-years effort, with much credit due to the efforts of the civic association,” she said. “These projects tie directly to improving our community and all of our property values.” Among other responsibilities, Truhlar represents Centennial on the Denver Regional Council of Governments, the intergovernmental organization that establishes guidelines, sets policies and allocates funds for regional transportation, growth and development, among other issues. Truhlar encourages residents to call her at 720-9344645 or 303-771-5102. “If needed, please leave a message and I will call back as soon as I can,” she said. All-mail Election Day is Nov. 7. Councilmembers are limited to two four-year terms.
O’Riley announces run for Aurora City Council Veteran and former cop Robert O’Riley has announced his run for a seat on the Aurora City Council in Ward 2. “My determination is modest,” he said. “I believe that public service is binding of all us.” O’Riley’s political entry comes after a decade in law enforcement and as a veteran of the Armed Forces, a professional at the Department of Homeland Security and a commissioner for the Aurora Veterans Affairs Commission. His three daughters attend Aurora Public Schools, where he often volunteers.
Robert O’Riley O’Riley says he has also provided service to the community through outreach programs, his church and membership in the Lay Ley Fraternal Order of Police. The bilingual candidate says he grew up surrounded by various ethnic groups and
has a deep understanding of “citizen reservations.” “Listening to the citizens of the ward will be a priority to him and developing a stronger relationship with local, state and federal levels,” O’Riley’s candidate announcement said. “He wants to continue the bond between City Council and the employees of the city. Robert also understands that education is essential and the growth of Aurora is an economic responsibility.” While working full-time, O’Riley earned degrees from Liberty University and Excelsior College.
Postal worker sentenced for faking cancer Woman used fake doctor’s notes after being passed over for promotion A 60-year-old Highlands Ranch woman was sentenced last week to five years of probation, including six months in home confinement, as well as cancer-related community service after faking the disease to take sick leave. Caroline Zarate Boyle was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and $20,000 in restitution to her employer, the U.S. Postal Service. Boyle’s more than 650 hours of community service are to be served at a cancertreatment center, a cancer-
research center or a hospice. She was indicted by a federal grand jury in March and pleaded guilty without a plea agreement. “The American public trusts that U.S. Postal Service employees will obey the law,” Scott Pierce, executive special agent, said in a statement. “… This type of behavior within the Postal Service is not tolerated and the overwhelming majority of Postal Service employees, which serve the public, are honest, hardworking and trustworthy individuals who would never consider engaging in any type of criminal behavior.” According to court documents, in the summer of 2015 after being denied a promo-
tion, Boyle took a substantial amount of paid sick-leave hours by pretending to have non-Hodgkins lymphoma and sending fabricated doctors’ notes to her supervisor. Boyle continued the ruse until she was caught following an interview with an agent of the Postal Service’s Office of the Inspector General. Court records say she had planned to continue the fraud until her scheduled retirement in April, when she would take a post-retirement cruise to Hawaii Additional evidence at sentencing showed that prior to faking her cancer diagnosis, Boyle had falsely accused one of her subordinates of doing the same thing.

A 32-year-old man who had a standoff with Englewood police last week was in custody at press time. Joseph Christopher Gaye had barricaded himself inside an apartment in the 3300 block of South Washington Street on the morning of Aug. 22 According to a police report, officers were there to contact a suspect in a felony domestic-violence investigation. A 21-year-old woman reportedly inside the apartment had left just before police arrived. When Gaye refused to come to the door, the Englewood’s Tactical Team and police negotiators responded. Negotiations were eventually successful and Gaye complied with police orders. He was taken into custody without incident. No injuries were reported. Charges were pending and the investigation was continuing.

Police seek help in Englewood shooting Englewood police were seeking the public’s help in solving an early morning shooting last week of an 18-year-old woman.

On the road—following the advice of Gene Cervi Many years ago, I developed a friendship with Gene Cervi, who founded Cervi’s Journal, which has survived down through the years and is today the Denver Business Journal. I met the robust publisher at the annual Colorado Press convention decades ago, where he was a fierce proponent of good writing, reporting and the duty of newspapers to stand for “something” in their communities. It was a good message and Cervi survived in Denver against the powerful Denver Post through his acumen and penetrating business reporting. One of his favorite passions was lambasting The Post, which he did on a regular basis. Cervi preached about reporters, editors and publishers getting out of their offices and out onto the street and countryside where they could find out what was really going on. He would take road trips into Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and other states, even coming to Craig to visit with me. We dined in the historic Cosgriff Hotel, an iconic northwestern Colorado road stop. Remembering Cervi and his advice, my wife Gerri and I traveled last week to meet newspaper friends in Blair, Neb. and Sheldon, Iowa. Both families, the Rhoadeses and the Wagners, were great hosts for this partial road trip. Driving through parts of Nebraska and Iowa, the fields of corn and soybeans are impressive, mile after mile, with every acre of rich farmland producing bountiful crops. The ranch homes had silos of various sizes and mostly John Deere tractors parked near the barns. Publisher Peter Wagner related that Iowa farmland was selling recently for $15,000 an acre. There is a law in Iowa that foreigners cannot purchase that state’s farmland. The harvest will begin in October, and prices currently are at record low levels as supply and demand take a toll on these efficient farmers. It is interesting that Heartland Banks of Iowa just purchased the controlling interest in Citywide Banks, one of the last locally owned banking institutions left in Denver. We still have Jay and Christina at First American State Bank. During our stay, we traveled a short distance to Lake Okoboji, where we joined other Wagner house guests, Ed-
Barbwire Bob The cities of Cherry Hills, Centennial and Greenwood Village are working on their 2018 budgets, looking at capital improvements, salaries and general operations. Big-ticket items are police budgets, and more than anything, the rising cost of health insurance. The aforementioned cities have strong retail sales income and are all very healthy financially. Mayor pro tem Earl Hoellen chaired the Cherry Hills meeting that passed some routine business items before adjourning into an executive session.
mund Ghareeb and his wife Shireen from Washington D.C. Edmund was the evening speaker at the Okoboji Art Center program. He was invited by Wagner to speak on Middle Eastern affairs, Ghareeb being a professor, esteemed author and worldwide commentator on Middle Eastern history. He blames World War I for the beginning of the Iraq disruption and backs his premise with history of the demise of the old Ottoman Empire. We all enjoyed the Wagners’ hospitality in their splendid home and a second evening where publisher son Jeff, wife Myrna and daughter Kat took us out on the lake for a boat ride to Maxwell’s for a wonderful lakeside dinner. I’m not sure that’s what Cervi had in mind as he was making road trips around the countryside decades ago, but I kept him in mind as I chewed on my choice New York strip steak from Iowa. Coming home through the Omaha airport, we stopped in Blair to visit the Blair Enterprise’s fifth-generation publishers, Ken and Ginny Rhoades. They had spent several days with their grandson, who had just completed a four-year tour in the Marine Corps. He was off to Arizona to use the GI Bill for his college education, having decided that the four years of Marine life was enough. We had a Nebraska Sunday turkey dinner at a local diner before heading to the airport and the trip back to Denver. The road trip across parts of Nebraska and Iowa and local sightseeing and visiting with local citizens was what Cervi preached about. Outside of Edmund’s speech, we didn’t talk politics. The people in Nebraska and Iowa were more interested in Blue Bunny ice cream than swamp talk. Newspapers are still thriving in those states. We toured the Wagners’ new printing plant, where they print 83 local community newspapers, along with their own publications. We also sat in on an interesting presentation on using the internet to our advantage. Local newspapers still rule the roost in Iowa, and that would make Gene Cervi a happy man. It made us smile as well.
Ramblin’ around the corral with Bob Sweeney
Numerous Centennial City Council members turned out last week for a South Metro Denver Chamber breakfast session—including Mayor Cathy Noon, commenting on a late-night budget meeting for that city. Greenwood Village had a study session with Camie Chapman, the city’s administrative-services director, who outlined budget challenges for 2018. The city grants small cost-of-living pay increases at the end of every year for the upcoming year.
Public Works Director John Sheldon presented the proposed capital-improvement program for 2018. One major change in the 2018 budget was the inclusion of moving flood control of Greenwood Gulch into the next year’s budget, rather than 2020’s, because of long-standing flooding that has occurred in areas of the Preserve. Championed by District 1’s Freda Miklin, the council took heed of a letter submitted to them by Preserve resident Robert Arnott detailing the deposition of
sediment that has been unabated, causing major flooding in the gulch area and is now creating residential flooding concerns of property and neighborhood safety. The Arnott family was at the study session, but the public is not allowed to speak at study sessions. Without a word being said, the council moved flood control of the gulch into the 2018 budget process to be approved at a regular meeting. Continued on page 5

Lady Justice has a compassionate face for veterans
In April 2013, the 18th Judicial District embarked on a new and innovative Veterans Treatment Court to help veterans who suffer from certain mental health disorders and are involved in the criminal-justice system. Many of these veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress or traumatic brain disorders because of their combat experience. Drug and alcohol are frequently used by these veterans as a coping mechanism to help relieve their depression and other symptoms. Unfortunately, many of these same veterans end up in our courts system facing criminal charges. Under the compassionate leadership of District Court Judge Bonnie McLean, the Veterans Treatment Court is proving to be very success-
ful in helping these combat veterans better cope with their issues. The intense program can take up to 18 to 24 months to complete, which requires weekly court appearances, drug testing and regular meetings with a probation officer and VA counselors. By successfully completing the program, instead of going to jail or prison, the veteran is granted supervised probation. Last week, I witnessed the graduation of two veterans. Both were drug and alcohol-free and had started successful careers in the building trade and real estate. Support of their family members is also a key to successful completion of the program. Judge Mclean is very compassionate and
encouraging to the veterans, but remains very firm with them when appearing before her court. She will give veterans several opportunities to get with the treatment program or face time in the county detention center if they fail to comply with the strict rules of the program. We need to continue programs that help in assisting our veterans in their struggles to return to civilian life. The 18th District, under the leadership of Chief Judge Carols A. Samour, has embraced this veteran treatment program, which is helping veterans successfully return to their families and become productive tax-paying citizens of Arapahoe County. Let’s continue to support the Veterans Treatment Court’s goals. Our veterans deserve a second chance.
It’s OK to feel uncomfortable, but not at the Denver Post Memorial Day, aside from pool openings, picnics and barbeques, is known for the Indy 500. This year, Japanese driver Takuma Sato won the big race. Memorial Day also commemorates those who died in active military service, typically foreign wars. It is interesting that this year while we honored American soldiers who died fighting the Japanese 70 years ago, a car racer from that same country won the most famous car race in America. Big deal. In golf and tennis, non-Americans frequently win the U.S. Open. Most race spectators want the best racer to win, regardless of nationality, hopefully in a close finish. A few crashes between race cars flying down the track at more than 200 miles per hour adds to the excitement, assuming everyone walks away from the wreck unhurt. Denver Post sportswriter Terry Frei had another reaction to this year’s Indy 500. He wasn’t angry, just uncomfortable. His father was a World War II pilot, who flew missions over Japan, losing two fellow soldiers in the Battle of Okinawa. Thinking about his father on Memorial Day, he tweeted, “Nothing specifically personal, but I am very uncomfortable with a Japanese driver winning the Indianapolis 500 during Memorial Day weekend.” It was an honest and sincere reaction probably best kept to himself, rather than shared in the Twitter universe. Reaction was swift and predictable with Frei attacked, called a racist and an all-around bad person. The Denver Post was quick to react as well. They fired their long-time sportswriter and sixtime sportswriter of the year. The Post apologized “for the disrespectful and unacceptable tweet that was sent by one of our reporters,” telling readers that Frei “doesn’t represent what we believe, nor what we stand for.” Frei issued
Barbwire Bob The residents of the Preserve left the meeting happy. This is local government working closely with residents to solve serious issues. There will be a public hearing on the proposed budget later in the year as the final draft is prepared. *** The South Metro Denver Chamber continues to have interesting programs on growth and development in the south metro region, which stretches into Douglas County. The session this past week was ably chaired by David Schlatter with a welcome from Bob Golden, Chamber president and CEO. Panelists were Neil Marciniak, manager of Centennial’s economic development; Denise Stephens, director of Littleton’s economic development; Amy Sherman, president of the NW Douglas County economic development; Dennis Houston, CEO of the Parker Chamber; Beth Cobert, CEO of Skillful, a workforce expert; and Jeannine Shaw, representing Denver Water. The panel discussed area growth, including the new residential Sterling Ranch in northwest Douglas County. This $4.4 billion development, years in planning, is now underway. The ranch covers 3,400 acres and will be home to 31,000 people in 12,050 housing units over a 20-year period. Marciniak related how Centennial is on the fore-

Local credit union surpasses $40 million milestone
Metrum Community Credit Union, located in Centennial, is celebrating a new milestone of having more than $40 million in loan balances with its members. Growth in loans has accelerated greatly over the last five years, through traditional loan products, as well as some unique products developed to fit the member’s needs. “Members choose us for their loans because we are not as ‘black and white’ as other
financial institutions, such as major banks,” said loan manager Amber Breidenstein. “For example, some lenders may say that you need to have a minimum credit score or debt ratio to get a loan. Instead, we look the whole picture, never putting members in a box. Metrum really spends a lot of time listening to our members and providing solutions.” Metrum is a local financial cooperative owned by its mem-
bers. With more than 5,000 members, the $40 million in loan balances has helped many individuals and families save money through the trusted services offered, the firm said in an announcement. “We spend a lot of time educating our members about credit, budgets and ways they can improve their own situation. We truly try to help consumers instead of giving a simple yes or no answer,” Breidenstein said.

Centennial has been named the ninth Best Small Real Estate Market and 20th overall, according to a recent study by WalletHub. To determine the best markets, WalletHub’s analysts compared 300 cities. Each were categorized according to population size guidelines. Centennial’s population is fewer than 150,000 (109,726) therefore ranked in the category of small cities. WalletHub’s analysts compared 300 cities of varying sizes across 21 key metrics. The data
set ranges from median home price to home-sales turnover rate to job growth. Centennial’s unemployment rate and percentage of homes selling for a gain ranked first among small cities. Additional statistics to note regarding the health of Centennial’s Real Estate Market are: Health of Centennial’s real estate market (1=Best 150=Average): 33rd–Average days until sale 29th– Median home-price appreciation
4th - Percentage of delinquent mortgage holders 5th – Vacancy rate 70th - Building-permit activity 7th - Maintenance affordability In the category of small cities, three other Colorado municipalities also made the top 10.

Colorado National Guard trains against active threats Phenomenal European Estate on Cherry Hillls’ best street.16,000 sq ft, 2.4 acre site. Only $5,300,000.
The Colorado National Guard, with the assistance of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, trained to counter active threats Aug. 25 at Joint Force Headquarters - Colorado in Centennial. The training tested and evaluated the installation’s emergency response procedures. “This exercise will practice our procedures to counter an active threat,” The Adjutant General of Colorado U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Michael Loh said. “Training with our com-
munity partners to reduce risk and protect our military and civilian personnel is essential.” Most of the blank rounds will be fired indoors, but some may be heard at a distance. If there’s reason to believe that a real-world active threat is underway, don’t hesitate to call 911. An active threat is defined as one or more people actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area. In most
cases, there is no pattern or method to a perpetrator’s selection of victims. Active threat situations are unpredictable and evolve quickly. Immediate deployment of law enforcement is required to stop the threat and mitigate harm to victims. This training will add a level of personnel preparedness and is not in response to any heightened threat level or direct threat to any person or property.

Taking care of business along the south corridor Panel at South Metro Denver Chamber looks to the future
The south metro suburbs— or Denver South in economicdevelopment speak—may be well poised for the 21st century, as long as it does not lose sight of accompanying challenges. “We’ve got more millennials that actually work in Denver South than work downtown,” said Neil Marciniak, economicdevelopment manager for the City of Centennial, at a forum last week at the South Metro Denver Chamber. “… The trick is how do we keep them here?” Home affordability, the decline of traditional retail, and the need for water are among the challenges, but the opportunities found in such areas as intergovernmental cooperation, technology and skilled labor may be important steps on the pathway forward. “We work together, but we don’t have group think. We’re independent,” said Jeannine Shaw, a community-relations specialist for Denver Water, whose intergovernmental watermark stretches well beyond the city at the center of the metro area. Even the spicket on Colorado’s complex world of water law has gotten a little less stuck in recent years, Shaw told the room of business leaders on Aug. 23, noting an increased partnership between Denver, Aurora and the South Metro Water Supply Authority. “I don’t think we would have seen that 20 years ago,” she said. “… You’re going to still have lawsuits and you’re going to still have eminent domain … but there is so much more collaboration on innovation, both on the technology side and the policy side.” On the technology side, south metro’s bevy of hightech firms has been matched
Neil Marciniak, Centennial’s economic-development manager, makes a point as Littleton’s Denise Stephens listens. The two officials were part of a panel on the local business climate last week at the South Metro Denver Chamber. Photo by Peter Jones by “smart cities” like Centennial, whose partnerships with industry have been largely unprecedented. The city’s public works, in particular, have placed Centennial onto the cutting edge. “Before too long, the ‘smart cities’ technologies, the ‘smart cities’ way of delivering service will be the norm,” Marciniak warned other cities. “It will be the baseline for how services and infrastructure [are] delivered.” At the same time, Centennial continues to foster a critical mass of likeminded technological innovators in the private sector, including companies like Arrow Electronics and CH2M, the city’s contracted public works provider. “If you’ve got a government like ours saying we want technology companies, we want high-paying jobs, we want high-skilled labor coming into this state, that gets noticed, not just around the country, but around the world,” Marciniak said. Taking full advantage of a talented workforce can be a challenge, however, especially for companies with an oldschool approach to seeking candidates, said Beth Cobert, CEO for Skillful, a Colorado nonprofit initiative connecting workers with middle-skill jobs. With an array of technolo-
void in some of those otherwise vacant retail centers. “People are spending more money behind their computers on soft goods like clothes and whatever things you didn’t know you needed on Amazon, but are spending more generationally—generation X, millennials and down the line—on going out to eat, so that’s an opportunity,” the economic-development manager said. Older cities like Littleton, which has never gone much for big-box stores, may be better poised than most for the changing retail climate, though some of the city’s specialized stores have still felt the pinch amid Historic Downtown Littleton’s “old urbanism.” Denise Stephens, Littleton’s economic-development director, is optimistic. “We have a lot of boutique retail, a lot of specialty restaurants,” she said. “People can be there, have urban amenities and also have a small-town kind of feel.”

Cities are feeling the pinch. Retail accounts for more than half of Centennial’s general fund, Marciniak said.

BY AMY LEE, M.D. Well, when it comes to misinformation about healthy eating, it’s probably not your fault. After all, there’s a lot of confusing and contradictory information about food on the internet, and a lot of it is flat-out wrong. So, today I wanted to clear up a couple of food myths that my patients ask me about all the time.
Myth #1: Don’t eat eggs—they’ll raise your cholesterol
If you follow this “advice,” then you’re cheating yourself out of a delicious and inexpensive source of protein. The truth is, the benefits of eggs, especially omega-3 and pastured eggs, far outweigh the negatives. Now, it is true that egg yolks contain cholesterol. However, very little of the dietary cholesterol in eggs actually makes its way into your bloodstream. But eggs are a great source of vitamins D, B-12, A and B-6. Not only that, one egg supplies you with 12 percent of your daily protein. And starting your day with a protein boost will not only make you feel full faster, you might end up eating fewer calories throughout the day.
Myth #2: Cooking vegetables destroys their nutritional value
Some vegetables actually need to be cooked or your body can’t access all their nutrients. You see, plant cells have thick walls and all the nutrients are trapped behind those walls. But cooking weakens the cell
Eggs are a good source of vitamins D, B-12, A and B-6. walls and lets your body use the good stuff. For example, tomatoes are rich in lycopene, an incredibly powerful antioxidant that helps keep your cells healthy. But researchers found that cooking tomatoes actually raises the amount of lycopene your body could use by 35 percent. The same goes for carrots. Cooking carrots increases the amount of beta-carotene, which helps your body produce vitamin A—critical for healthy vision, a strong immune system, and greater bone strength. Other vegetables, like spinach, peppers, and asparagus, also release more of their powerful nutrients and antioxidants when you cook them. To get the best results, you should steam, roast, or sauté vegetables. That way you get all the benefits without sacrificing any of the delicious natural flavors. Now, there are a lot more food myths that need to be busted, so I’ll be sending you more of them soon. So, don’t forget to check your email. To your present and future health, Amy Lee is head of nutrition at Nucific, a nutritional-supplement manufacturer and retailer based in Tarzana, Calif.

The health benefits of grandparent-grandchild relationships In the not-so-distant past, extended families were the norm, with multiple generations residing on the same street if not in the same house. Today the family unit is largely an amalgam of different situations. The rise of two-income families has pressured parents into finding childcare situations. Quite often grandparents once again step in to offer guidance and support for youngsters. This can be a good thing for both the grandparents and the
grandchildren. Although a bevy of psychological research focuses on parent-child relationships, new evidence points to the benefits of the grandchildgrandparent relationship as well. Close relationships between these different demographics is often a sign of strong familial ties. A study from researchers at Boston College discovered that emotionally close ties between grandparents and adult grandchildren reduced depressive symptoms in
Grandchildren can help grandparents feel younger, and grandchildren can learn new experiences from their grandparents.
both groups. Research at the University of Oxford among English children between the ages 11 and 16 found that close grandparent-grandchild relationships were associated with benefits including fewer emotional and behavioral problems and fewer difficulties with peers. Adult and grandchildren alike benefit from relationships with their elders. Grandparents can provide a connection and exposure to different ideas while providing a link to family history and knowledge regarding traditions and customs not readily available elsewhere. Nurturing grandparentgrandchild experiences may be easy for families where grandparents live in the same house or close by. For others, it may take some effort. The following are some ways to facilitate time spent together. Schedule regular family reunions or get-togethers. Host or plan multi-generation events that bring the family together and expose children to various members of their family. Promote one-on-one time. Have grandchildren spend time with grandparents in intimate settings. Alone time can be good for both and offers each undivided attention. A meal at a restaurant or time spent doing a puzzle or craft can be interesting to
both generations involved. Video chat when possible. If distance makes frequent visits challenging, use technology to bridge that gap. Send photos, letters and electronic communications. Tech-savvy grandparents can use Skype or Facetime to stay in touch and speak one-onone with their grandchildren.
Share skills with each other. Either generation can play teacher to the other. Grandparents may have certain skills, such as baking, sewing or wood crafts, they can impart that may not be readily taught today. Children can help grandparents navigate computers, video games or sports activities.

Denver Press Club now on National Register of Historic Places The Denver Press Club recently celebrated its 150th anniversary by joining the ranks of the National Register of Historic Places. An anniversary celebration and formal dedication took place Aug. 2 with guests including U.S Rep. Diana DeGette, Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock, Colorado historians Dr. Tom Noel and Stephen J. Leonard, and Rocky Mountain News veteran, Denver City Councilman and former Club President Kevin Flynn. The club began in 1867 – although not officially incorporated as the Denver Press Club until 1877 – but at that point there was no actual building. Members initially met in the grocery store basement of the club’s first president, Wolfe Londoner, on Larimer Street, then in hotels prior to constructing the building in 1925. The Tudor-style building with English tavern style inside was designed by architects Burnham F. Hoyt and
brother Merrill H. Hoyt, and built by Francis Kirchof for about $50,000. The building at 1330 Glenarm Place in downtown Denver was designated an historic landmark by the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission in 1986. Visitors have included Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, William Taft (both of whom received honorary memberships) and Woodrow Wilson, but women weren’t allowed to join until the mid-1960s. Today the club is led by President David Milstead with the aim “to support the journalistic profession and work.” A statement on the club’s website notes: “As the nation’s oldest press club, there has never been a time when we are needed more to promote and strengthen journalism while educating on issues that protect and encourage an empowered Fourth Estate.”

Denver Arts & Venues calls for local artists to participate in Art Drop Day Denver
Denver Arts & Venues calls for local artists to delight and surprise Denver residents, and create positive connections through art by committing to participate in World Art Drop Day Tuesday, Sept. 5. World Art Drop Day occurs annually on the first Tuesday of September and was conceived by Utah’s Jake Parker with the goal of connecting people to one another, and generating random bonds between strangers through the act of creating and giving. “Especially now, a project like this can generate so much positive energy, drawing people together through art,” says Kent Rice, Denver Arts & Venues director. Participation is simple: first, artists commit to participate by filling out the online form and creating a small, inexpensive piece or two to share on Art Drop Day. Then, on Tuesday, Sept. 5, they hide their art around town. Next, they drop hints and clues on social media so people can find the hidden works, and finally the artists watch and wait for someone to discover their creations. The public can participate in the fun and search for art by following #artdropday and #artdropdenver on social media.
“It doesn’t just have to be visual art and you don’t have to be a professional artist,” says Denver Arts & Venues organizer Brooke Dilling. “Musicians can drop CDs, textile artists can drop knit scarves, soap-makers can drop a bar, paper-makers can drop a journa. If you’ve got a talent of some sort, even if you just consider yourself an amateur doodler, you can participate.” In addition to hiding mini replicas of Lawrence Argent’s “I See What You Mean” (colloquially known as the Big Blue Bear at Colorado Convention Center) and dropping clues on Facebook. com/DenverArtsVenues and t w i t t e r. c o m / D e nve r A r t s, Denver Arts & Venues has partnered with VSA Colorado/ Access Gallery to hide artworks from the ArtO-Mat program. Art-O-Mat artworks are original, pocketsized pieces created by participants of VSA Colorado/ Access Gallery’s summer Artworks program, a program supporting young people with disabilities transitioning out of high school by providing economic opportunities through the arts. There is no deadline for artists who wish to participate in Art Drop Denver. More information can be found on ArtsandVenues.com.
If you’ve got a talent of some sort, even if you just consider yourself an amateur doodler, you can participate. - Brooke Dilling, Denver Arts & Venues organizer
Jewish Family Service receives $150,000 grant from Dresner Foundation
Jewish Family Service of Colorado recently received a $150,000 grant from the Dresner Foundation of West Bloomfield, Mich., to expand Lunchbox Express, the agency’s summer food distribution program for low-income children. This grant will allow JFS to transition to fully fresh meals at all Lunchbox Express sites and expand the summer program to include nutrition education and physical activity. Lunchbox Express is a simple mobile food delivery system that targets discrete areas of underserved children and brings free lunch to them during the summer. The program is dedicated to feeding hungry Colorado kids when school is out and they don’t have access
to free or reduced-fee lunches in their schools. Lori Dresner, the Dresner Foundation Board of Director’s president, says, “We are proud to support a program that helps children and provides them with meals they normally would not have access to. It is our hope that one day no child has to miss a meal during the summer or any other time of year.” Shepard Nevel, president and CEO of Jewish Family Service, says, “We are grateful to the Dresner Foundation for its commitment to Colorado’s children and its vision that no child should go hungry. This grant will ensure that children will receive the fresh, highquality, and nutritious food that they need to thrive.”

Sarus crane hatched at Denver Zoo Denver Zoo celebrates first-ever hatching of sarus crane
Denver Zoo is celebrating its firstever hatching of a Sarus (SAHR-uhss) crane, the tallest of all flying birds. The chick, whose sex is still unknown, hatched on the morning of Aug. 17 and hasn’t been named yet. Along with first-time parents, mother Violetta and father Alfredo, the chick can be seen now at The Kenneth King Foundation Crane Lagoon at the Zoo’s Toyota Elephant Passage. “Denver Zoo is proud to celebrate its first hatching of a Sarus crane with Alfredo and Violetta,” said Assistant Curator of Predators Matt Lenyo. “We are happy to see the chick growing stronger each day, and the new parents are proving to be naturals.” Zookeepers found the chick’s egg on July 15 and checked on it several times a day before moving it to the zoo’s Avian Propagation Center for artificial incubation. In its place, the parents were given a “dummy” wooden egg to brood. This was done to ensure the chick’s best chance of survival. The chick was returned to its parents upon hatching and keepers say they have been providing excellent care ever since. Keepers say it has become very mobile and can
be seen walking long distances around its enclosure. Both parents have spent time brooding and feeding the chick worms. Violetta or Alfredo are always by the chick’s nest and the birds are all vocalizing to each other. Alfredo hatched at Lowery Park Zoo in Florida in August 2003 and he came to Denver Zoo from Calgary Zoo Canada in November 2011. Violetta hatched at San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park in October 2006 and she arrived at Denver Zoo from San Diego Zoo Safari Park in May 2007. The two were paired under recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Species Survival Plan, which ensures healthy populations and genetic diversity among zoo animals. The chick’s hatching brings the zoo’s total number of Sarus cranes to three. Sarus cranes grow to nearly six-feet tall and are native to Southeast Asia and Australia. Their bodies are almost entirely gray and white, except for their red necks and heads. The species is classified as “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. Their major threats include a combination of loss and degradation of wetlands, as well as the hunting of adult Sarus cranes and collection of eggs and chicks for trade and food.

Celebrate shining stars in vintage glamour with SUN Foundation Don’t miss the party that is sure to be the bee’s knees!
SUN Foundation is a supporting organization for Developmental Pathways and is dedicated to “Serving Unmet Needs” in our community for people with developmental disabilities/delays. With a roaring 20’s theme, SUN Foundation’s highly anticipated 2017 fundraising event on Sept. 16 will celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of people with developmental disabilities/delays and their families. Ninetime Emmy award winner Cheryl Preheim will serve as the talented Mistress of Ceremonies; esteemed guests include The Arc of Colorado’s Executive Director Marijo Rymer, Former Colorado First Lady Frances Owens, and Congressman Mike Coffman. This year’s fundraising focus will be on respite for caregivers. Respite is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to primary caregivers of people with developmental disabilities. Often, specialized respite care can cost hundreds of dollars per month, and many families must pay for these out-of-pocket expenses with no other support. Respite provides caregivers needed breaks in order to maintain their own health and wellness, run errands, rest, or manage an emergency. Respite can take place for a few hours during the day or evening, a weekend, or a week-long camp. The goal of the event is to celebrate the achievements of people with developmental disabilities/delays and their families and raise philanthropic support to ensure that caregivers have the opportunity to recharge, so the whole family is strengthened as a result. Sponsorships and individual tickets are available. Please visit suncolo.org/events.
Heritage Heights Academy receives Daniels Fund grant
Heritage Heights Academy announced Aug. 24 that it has received a $43,100 general operating grant from the Daniels Fund to help with marketing, community engagement, curriculum, and professional development. “The grant will enable our program to grow, give our students access to needed curriculum, and provide training for our teachers which is necessary for the effective implementation of our academically rigorous program.” said Jennifer Gibbons, HHA board chairperson. Gibbons also said, “We would like to use some of the funds to help our teachers travel to Liberty Common, the school after which we are modeled, where they can observe their way of implementing the Core Knowledge Cur-
riculum which makes them so successful.” HHA was launched by parents seeking a more robust education for their children than was available at existing schools. The school opened in August of 2016 after signing a four-year charter contract with Cherry Creek School District. The school is located in the Eastern part of the district in a rented portion of the Smoky Hill Vineyard church and serves 280 kindergarten through sixth grade students.

It was 50 years ago this summer … Pop art’s Jann Haworth is no face in the crowd
It is little surprise that Jann Haworth’s proudest contribution to the cover of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album is the little old lady sitting in the right corner. “I wanted to make aging not so scary—if you brought color to the face and celebrated the wrinkles,” the 75-year-old multimedia artist explained. “But when people saw it, they said, hmm, it looks like Psycho.” The “soft sculpture,” based on a photo of Haworth’s great-grandmother, lives for eternity on the iconic 1967 cover, where in multigenerational irony, the Civil War-era matriarch cradles a Shirley Temple doll, who in turn wears a striped shirt bearing the words: “Welcome the Rolling Stones.” Although prominently upfront, Grandma is often lost to the patchwork of famous faces in the accompanying collage—Edgar Allan Poe, Bob Dylan and Mae West, among many others. But the inclusion of the sculpture, independently crafted by Haworth in the early ‘60s, is part and parcel to the overall vision of the artist—not the Beatles, but Haworth, the cover’s co-designer. “She’s a chair. Her two front legs are the front legs of the chair,” the artist said of the sculpture, now sitting behind museum glass. “It kind of looks askance at the fact that older people become chair bound, but they also become furniture and insignificant. She’s a little bit faded now, but in a way that’s OK.” A retrospective of Haworth’s work—including the aforementioned doll—is on display through Nov. 11 at Emmanuel Gallery on the Auraria Campus in Denver.
Hollywood to London
Born in southern California in 1942, Haworth’s pop art was a meeting of parental influence and the superficiality that surrounded her. Her mother, Miriam, was a distinguished ceramist and painter. Her father, Ted, was an Academy Award-winning Hollywood art director, whose credits ranged from Some Like it Hot to Invasion of the Body Snatchers. As a child, Haworth’s father would take her to the sets, where she would meet the likes of Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe, both of whom wound up in the Sgt. Pepper collage years later. “The transition of these beautiful women as they got older—I thought about this at age 20— how did they process it when society puts such a huge burden to be beautiful?” Haworth said of
Artist Jann Haworth stands by an original 1961 “soft sculpture” that appeared on the front cover of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The work, based on an old photograph of her greatgrandmother, is on display at Emmanuel Gallery on the Auraria Campus. Photos by Peter Jones
It’s a film cheat to have cut-outs that 2D and 3D in the front row. That comes straight from my father. – Jann Haworth, pop artist Monroe and others. “But I grew up in this very strange, advanced unreal world of art [with my parents] with no concept that there was anything called a gender divide.” It was only after Haworth moved to London that she fully understood that the shallowness of Hollywood was a reflection of reality, even— if not especially—across the Atlantic Ocean. Still, for a 20-something unknown woman artist, young Haworth inexplicably made her mark in “swinging London.” “I was a freak in London,” she said. “I didn’t have an accent that could be placed in any par-
ticular class. I guess I did something that kind of looked good in Vogue magazine.” Sgt. Pepper, a collaboration with her thenhusband, pop artist Peter Blake, was the culmination of her higher-profile success, but the concept was largely a regurgitation of older ideas, she said. “It’s a film cheat to have cut-outs that 2D and 3D in the front row. That comes straight from my father,” Haworth confessed. “Peter had done collages where he cut up people and put them together. It’s an easy way for an artist to use different finished art products to assemble a crowd.” The now famous image of the Beatles as a sort of psychedelic Salvation Army band surrounded by culture heroes would redefine the album cover as being almost as significant as the music inside. The bright colors, the gatefold sleeve and even the presence of song lyrics on the back signaled the beginnings of rock music as not just poetry, but visual art in the truest sense. The lack of external lettering, the placement of the album title on the drums, as well as the band’s name in the flower arrangement came right out of the German Bauhaus art movement, according to Haworth. That is despite Beatle Paul McCartney’s claim that he came up with such ideas. “He absolutely did not,” Haworth insisted. “The idea was you don’t put typography on our artwork. There’s no umbilical cord to Paul McCartney.” And as for “hints” of McCartney’s demise on the cover—some who squint see the word “Paul” followed by ‘?” in the guitarshaped flower arrangement—Haworth pleads not guilty, with a laugh. “One of the florists said, ‘I have an idea. I want to make a guitar in flowers.’ Peter and I said, ‘Sure, go ahead,’” Haworth said, noting the vintage rumors that McCartney had secretly died, leaving a pretender in his place. “The imposter doesn’t know that he didn’t have anything to do with the cover.” The work of Haworth and Blake was fully recognized by the industry when the duo took home a Grammy for Best Album Cover in 1968.

GORMLY REMIND MAGAZINE Nestled in the green hills of Southern California suburbia stands one of the most recognizable houses in television history: the split-level used as the facade for The Brady Bunch. And from 1969 to 1974, the fictional Carol Brady and her husband, Mike, headed this household known for corny yet sweet, even if saccharine, familial bliss. Arguably, Carol Brady – played by Florence Henderson, who passed away Nov. 24, 2016, at age 82 – was the heart of the Brady household, even with six kids, a husband and a housekeeper in the ensemble cast. The beloved Mrs. Brady – like many mothers – gave the unconditional love the kids needed while they navigated the world of childhood. For those fans of The Brady Bunch who live in the real world, the show and its fictional family provided a delightful escape into cozy yet totally unrealistic idealism. Beautiful and elegant Carol Brady represented the mother people wished they had, or she reminded us of the mothers we were lucky to have. In the series’ pilot episode, Carol marries Mike and instantly becomes mom to the “three boys of his own” she inherited from her new husband: handsome oldest child Greg, fun-loving and scheming middle son Peter, and the often pesky yet cute baby brother Bobby. Likewise, Mike Brady instantly became beloved dad to Carol’s “three very lovely girls”: the beautiful and often melodramatic oldest girl Marcia, the deep and pretty Jan, and the adorable yet often annoying baby sister Cindy. Such a smooth, quick adjustment in a blended family probably would never happen in real life, either during the Bradys’ early ‘70s Nixon era or today’s more complicated world. But that kind of parental connection is what we all crave, and that half-hour Brady episode allowed people to experience it vicariously. We saw the best of Carol’s nurturing in the sentimental first season, where the theme underlying every episode’s storyline is the bonding and speed bumps experienced by “this group,” who “must somehow form a family.” That is the mission described in The Brady Bunch theme song, with the iconic matching visual of nine squares, each filled with a smiling headshot of a character. She mothers with a smile, a sense of humor, and an unquestionable love for her kids that made them comfortable approaching her about anything. Carol Brady could be the most beloved television mother in pop-culture history.

Hold the Pepper
In part due to public dismissals by Blake—the couple acrimoniously divorced in 1979—Haworth’s contributions have been somewhat minimalized in recent decades, though her credit is still clearly seen on Pepper’s back cover. The narrative fits clearly with the recurring themes of sexism and social marginalization that have dominated Haworth’s work. In “Toon Scandal,” Haworth depicts Minnie Mouse giving birth amidst Hollywood paparazzi. “They aren’t married and they have children. I love that,” the artist said of Minnie and Mickey, also noting what she sees as underlying racial themes in the Disney characters. Haworth’s other displayed work ranges from collage and “soft sculpture” to art that would be difficult to classify by medium. “I don’t paint a painting,” she said. “I do a big drawing and then I copy the drawing and cut the drawing up and let the drawing be templates for different pieces of fabric that I then sew together.” As for Sgt. Pepper, her most hyped and famous work is not exactly her favorite. “The best of Sgt. Pepper is the rip-offs,” she said with a laugh. “Did you know there’s a rip-off of all colonoscopy doctors and the flowers say ‘colonoscopy’?”
The influential Beatles cover was based on collage and placement concepts that pop artists Jann Haworth and Peter Blake had used for years. Haworth selected many of the faces herself, including some of the Hollywood icons who were friends to her father, a film production designer. “Never the Less,” a retrospective of Jann Haworth’s work is on display through Nov. 11 at Emmanuel Gallery on the Auraria Campus in Denver.
