opinion Newspapers celebrate improved business KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
Newspaper people like to visit with fellow media members, so this past week Gerri and I traveled to Phoenix, Ariz., to the National Newspaper Association’s 127th Annual Convention. We gathered at the Arizona Grand Resort, formerly known as The Point, which is only a short distance from Sky Harbor airport. Part of the newspaper gathering is a trade show where vendors show the latest newspaper software, inserts, and methods and tools to produce better newspaper products. In the old days, it was all about purchasing printing presses and typesetting equipment. Today, it is all about software, the Internet, web page products and digital services. Surprisingly, most newspapers, and the people who operate them still like putting ink on newsprint. At least 90 percent of the newspaper business is still going
on printed products. But, everyone is keenly aware of the growing interest in mobile products and reaching younger readers as our present subscribers age. The next generation is likely to want and receive most of their information online. Not surprising is that less free news is now being offered as publications build “pay walls” to offer a special package on both the printed products and the paper online. It is really about delivery. Whether you want the news on paper or glass. Some northwest publishers who have many readers flocking to Florida in the wintertime now offer to change back and forth from web delivery to print mail to match snowbird residents. Print back home and Internet at the winter residence. Newspapers are still the most reliable source of community news and in most cases the only source of news about schools, obituaries, weddings and stories that are clipped and placed on the refrigerator for all family members to see and cherish. The general consensus of the newspaper industry members is that newspapers are recovering as the general economy recovers. We are a reflection of Main Street, when the town suffers, the newspapers bleed along with the entire town. No doubt here in Colorado we have a vastly im-
proved real estate market with prices rising allowing both sellers and buyers to make good deals. Bankers are requiring good down payments but new mortgages are being made and sellers are receiving good prices driven by once in a lifetime very low interest rates that make this a good time to invest in a home. For those wishing to downsize, it has been a good time to move to a smaller home and the stock market has been very kind this year to those who have invested wisely. Interest rates on savings accounts are almost nil and investors find that real estate is a solid choice for investing funds. The rental business has also become brisk with those seeking to eliminate debt from their lives and preferring to just rent a home rather than risking the homeownership route. We note with interest the Koelbel Village Center proposal that failed at the Greenwood City Council meeting last week. No doubt this fine developer will be back with a proposal that will better satisfy neighbors and the city. From an historical perspective, the Koelbel family has a very long history in Greenwood Village and we can be very thankful for the wonderful developments and investments that have been made in the city. They are the best of the best.
The automobile business has also rebounded with a strong automotive business and drivers seeking high mileage vehicles along with luxury brands. Overall, the economy is slowly healing and therefore the newspaper folks attending the convention were a happy bunch reveling in the success of being a local newspaper and having survived the economy of the past half-dozen years. The overwhelming majority of newspaper folks at the convention are in the business to serve their communities over the long haul that includes the ups and downs of the economy. Time and time again we heard fellow publishers saying how they loved their communities and serving the residents. We found ourselves in that group and feel so fortunate to be in our 31st year of publishing The Villager in this neck of the woods. While the rains were washing away parts of Colorado, we were enduring 108-degree temperatures in Arizona. “When it rains it pours,” is an old slogan and between the fires and the floods, our wonderful state has certainly been besieged with challenges this year. We’ll build new bridges, roads and homes, and Colorado will remain one of the best states in the nation.
Memories of past summers REMARKS
By Mort Marks
Booth Tarkington could have had me in mind when he said that we should, “Cherish all our happy moments; they make a fine cushion for old age,” because with this year’s hot weather and terrible Rockies baseball season, my own memories are a “cushion for my old age.” My memories rolled back nearly 80 years and remembered how we kinds cooled off in Washington, D.C.’s hot summers after playing baseball, and how we grew accustomed to our city’s losing baseball team. When I hear today’s “baseball experts” preparing us for another By Shirley losing season, Smith I say to myself, “What do they know about losing seasons?” I’m the “expert” on a city’s losing baseball team.

The blind leading the blind for 25 years Littleton-based center marks silver anniversary
By Peter Jones “I don’t drive every day,” Mark Riccobono says as he slowly makes a right turn from West Shepperd Avenue in Littleton. If it had not been for a reporter’s queries, that turn might have been a perfect maneuver through this quiet residential neighborhood. “Whoa, whoa, we’re heading right for the curb this time,” a man in the backseat quickly interjects. “That’s what I get for answering questions,” an unfazed Riccobono rejoins, as he methodically readjusts the car’s steering wheel. The man who spotted the wrong curve is not some overly critical backseat driver, but a sort of navigator who operates a sophisticated GPS system that is hooked both to the car and to the body of the driver. As two reporters take the ride with Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman, Riccobono takes direction from the high-tech system and winds up back where we started less than five minutes later. This has been no ordinary drive around the block. This is a smart car, to say the least. Riccobono is blind. Brenda Mosby, vocational specialist at Littleton’s Colorado Center for the Blind, is quick to welcome us back with words that say it all about this school’s approach to putting the blind in the driver’s seat – literally and figuratively. “They thought initially that we wanted a car that would drive us,”
Mosby says. “We said, no, we want a car we can drive.”
A quarter century of vision
The opportunity to sit behind the wheel is just one of many opportunities offered at the Center for the Blind – though most student driving is limited to closed off parking lots in cars without the specially developed GPS. Last week, the school celebrated its first 25 years of helping the blind become self-sufficient in ways that have turned a condition once perceived as debilitating into more of an inconvenience than a disability. Julie Deden, the center’s longtime executive director, says one of perks of her job is witnessing that transformation happen again and again. “When students start at the center, they don’t really have any confidence and they’re not prepared to work,” she said. “But when they leave, they can do anything.” In teaching students, the center has also helped society to see the light. “One of the biggest changes in 25 years is public perceptions of blindness in positive ways,” Deden said. “We’ve trained hundreds of blind people in this time, and you can see it.” Deden should know – and she uses the verb “see” with little irony. The nonprofit director is herself blind, as are most of the other staff in an organization that has practiced the self-reliance it preaches for a quarter century. Founded in 1988 with five stu-
dents in sponsorship by the National Federation of the Blind, Littleton’s Center for the Blind has become world-renown for its innovative teaching techniques and a philosophy that says “with proper training and opportunity, blind people can compete on terms of equality with their sighted peers.”
Seeing things differently
Curriculum runs the gamut, but the bottom line is independence at the three schools in the United States that are officially sponsored by the National Federation of the Blind. The others are in Louisiana and Minnesota. By the time students have graduated, they have not only mastered public transportation and found their way around a kitchen, they have learned a trade, gained the confidence to travel and learned an assortment of other life skills that most sighted people would be hesitant to try with their eyes closed. Although driving a car would seem an unlikely endeavor for a blind person, Mosby says the new high-tech GPS system and the specially equipped car on display may have more symbolic use than practical utility – at least, for now. “You don’t know what’s going to come out of trying something,” the blind vocational specialist said. “We want people to know that we’re creative, that we’re innovative. Will it be on the streets? I don’t see it happening in my time. Maybe in rural areas it’d be kind of cool.”
An old Braille typewriter sits on display in the reception area at the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton. The school celebrated its 25th anniversary last week.
Mark Riccobono, executive director of the Baltimore-based Jernigan Institute and a graduate of the Colorado Center for the Blind in Littleton, takes a spin through the neighborhood using a sophisticated GPS attached to both the driver and the car.

Colorado Springs’ Millionaire’s Row
By Cathleen Norman dmired for its scenic views, rich history and numerous tourist attractions, Colorado Springs began as a social haven for wealthy American and British visitors, as well as a health sanctuary for invalids battling the scourge of tuberculosis. The city’s birth in 1871 coincided with the construction of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad – both were products of the visionary Gen. William Jackson Palmer. Colorado Springs flourished during its first decade thanks to well-to-do visitors and their infusion of investment capital. Mining also exerted a major economic influence beginning in the 1880s. Mining investors, ore-milling developers and railroad builders made their home in what Palmer called the “most attractive place in the West.” They erected downtown business “blocks” and built stylish dwellings for their families. The area north of downtown gained appeal – above lovely Monument Valley and near the serene grounds of Colorado College. One mile north, Glockner Sanitarium served the influx of tubercular patients who came “seeking the cure.” By the 1890s, both old-money families and newly-wealthy newcomers commissioned notable architects to design houses here. Numerous showpiece residences rose, 1890-1920, in elegant styles sweeping the country – Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial Revival, Italian Renaissance Revival and others. Construction made lavish use of native materials such as wood shingles, locally fired brick, quarried stone and rough rock. The four-block stretch of 12001500 Wood Avenue became known as “Millionaire’s Row.” It gives us a glimpse into the lives of some of Colorado Springs’ early civic leaders and economic lions. (Adjacent Cascade Avenue and intersecting Columbia, Buena Ventura and Culebra Streets also boast numerous landmark mansions.) Sherwood Aldrich, a leading local banker and mining investor, hired prominent Denver architect Frederick J. Sterner to design the dwelling at 1206 Wood Ave. Completed in 1901, it is an excellent example of the Shingle style with its woodshingled exterior and prominent roof dotted with dormers. (Sterner also designed Gen. Palmer’s Glen Eyrie – a 67-room Tudor-style castle

The elaborate Italian Renaissance Revival mansion at 1228 Wood Ave. was designed by a leading Denver architects Ernest P. Varian & Frederick J. Sterner for the daughter of a Standard oil Millionaire, Elizabeth Preston and her husband Ralph Preston. It now functions as the president’s house for Colorado College.
built 1904-06 northwest of the city). The Hibbard family purchased this property in 1917; they were owners of a prominent department store that operated 1892-1996 downtown on South Tejon Street. The residence at 1210 Wood Ave. was built in 1899 by William O’Brien, a prominent attorney. O’Brien was also a major investor in the Mollie Gibson Mining Company organized by James J. Hagerman in Aspen – one of the wealthiest silver mines in the world. The house was designed by a leading local architectural firm, Douglas & Hetherington, which practiced 1896-1914 in Colorado Springs. The dwelling’s Colonial Revival style features an elaborate cornice, quoin ornamentation at its corners and a semi-circular portico greeting visitors and guests. It later served as the president’s home for Colorado College. Ralph and Elizabeth Preston commissioned the esteemed Denver firm of Varian & Sterner to design the Italian Renaissance Revival beauty at 1228 Wood Ave. Elizabeth was the daughter of a Standard Oil millionaire. The couple moved into their elaborate, elegant domicile in 1898, where they hosted wonderful parties for the city’s social elite. Its style is characterized by a low,
hipped roof covered in red clay tiles, walls of pale beige brick, arched windows and arcaded porches. Philip and Sarah Stewart purchased the property in 1902. Mr. Stewart, an attorney prominent in banking, utilities and water rights, also served in the Colorado legislature. He was a friend of Theodore Roosevelt, who reportedly stayed overnight here during his presidency. A Colorado College trustee for more than a half century, Stewart bequeathed his lovely home to CC upon his death in 1957. Newlyweds Frederick Taylor and Alice Bemis Taylor built the house at 1238 Wood Ave., completed in 1905. Mrs. Taylor’s father, Judson Bemis, who moved to Colorado Springs in 1881, made his fortune in manufacturing cloth and paper bags. The Taylors secured the services of Boston architect Charley K. Cummings to design the English Tudor dwelling with its steep roof gables and half-timbered gable ends. After her father’s death in 1921, Alice’s inheritance allowed her to become a leading local philanthropist and cultural patroness. She is best known as organizer and major donor for 193536 construction of the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center and gifted her personal collection of South-
western art to the CSFAC. The house at 1306 Wood Ave. was constructed in 1891 by the W. R. Roby Lumber Company for Mrs. Milnora Roberts; it cost $14,000. Its Shingle style is signaled by a broad gabled roof that is shingle-covered and penetrated by massive dormers. The property was purchased in 1895 by James J. Hagerman, who owned the Colorado Midland Railway operating between Colorado Springs and the Aspen mining district. Hagerman had arrived in Colorado Springs in 1884 to recover from tuberculosis. He became famously wealthy developing Colorado mines and railroads, then he invested profitably in agriculture and railroading in southeast New Mexico. Hagerman bought this dwelling for his son Percy, who was president of his father’s lucrative Mollie Gibson Consolidated Mining and Milling Company. Douglas & Hetherington designed the residence at 1315 Wood Ave., a classic example of Dutch Colonial Revival distinguished by its gambrel (barn-like) roof. It was built for $15,000 in 1897 by Nelson B. Williams, president of the Isabella Mining Co. in Cripple Creek. James Burns purchased the property in 1902; “Jimmie” Burns was

an owner of the Portland Mine in Victor that would soon become the Cripple Creek District’s single largest producer. He enlarged the dwelling with a substantial addition on the south (designed by the original architects), making it the showplace of “Millionaire’s Row.” The Woods family sold the property in 1940. The enormous house was subdivided into apartments, a fate endured by many large local homes during the Depression and war years of the 1930s and 1940s. Eugene Shove commissioned Douglas & Hetherington to design his Shingle style residence at 1329 Wood Ave., built in 1897 and notable for its gambrel roof with prominent dormer and its rock foundation wall and rock porch supports. Mr. Shove, who arrived in Colorado Springs in 1879, owned a leading local investment firm as well as serving as secretary-treasurer of the Elkhorn Mining and Milling Company. The “jovial and affable” Shove was also president of the Town and Gown Golf Club. He served as a long-time trustee of Colorado College and is best known for constructing and donating the Shove Memorial Chapel to CC. The Dutch Colonial Revival style house at 1432 Wood Ave. was built in the mid 1890s by David Heizer, a leading Cripple Creek mining investor. Heizer also had helped develop the Cascade Hotel and Ramona Hotel in Ute Pass in the 1880s, as well as a toll road up Pikes Peak. He was president of Colorado Springs’ First National Bank, and he served as Colorado Springs mayor 1906-08. The Heizer family sold the property in 1945. Charles Bennett, president of Bennett-Schellenberger Realty, commissioned the Shingle style dwelling at 1520 Wood Ave. built in 1901. The firm still operates today; it is the city’s old estate real estate firm. The architect was Thomas McLaren, a Scotsman who came to the city in 1894 for the tuberculosis cure. He became a partner with Hetherington in 1914 and designed numerous Colorado Springs buildings of note during his 34-year career.

Lady Luck Casino feels like home
By Tom Barry
In driving to Black Hawk, you can enjoy the fresh mountain air and the spectacular scenery, as the gaming district is a relatively short and splendid drive from most places along the Front Range. You can see those fall colors starting to pop as you travel I-70 or through the canyon to Highway 119. My destination last week was Lady Luck Casino. When arriving you have a choice of parking outside in the attended valet lot next to a restored historic black locomotive or inside a spacious parking garage with more than ample free parking. I wanted to experience the main outdoor entrance, so I traipsed a short distance to the grand main entrance. As I walked inside the casino the character and ambiance of the interior was very much like a home setting with beautiful wood, warm colors and a vaulted cathedral ceiling.
Home-style restaurant
Being lunchtime, I headed through the casino area and took an elevator to the second floor to Otis and Henry’s Bar & Grill. The cathedral ceiling was adorned with lightly colored wood and you could not help but see the bright natural light being emitted through a number of windows. I then checked out the menu and saw the restaurant offered breakfast from when the doors opened at 7 a.m. – 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday, and Friday and Saturday, around midnight or later, to accommodate Lady
Luck’s late night patrons. After looking at the menu and not sure how much time I would have before my official tour of the casino, I ventured over to the salad bar. I was surprised to see the vast offerings of vegetables, fruits and pieces of turkey and ham. Staff members are constantly making sure the salad bar containers are chock-full of these respective offerings. I filled up a sizable salad bowl and quickly found the delectable and fresh assortment of food tasted as good as it looked. I returned later for dinner to enjoy a scrumptious pulled pork sandwich. Being the curious type, I asked the couple next to me what they thought of their experience at Otis and Henry’s. To my pleasant surprise, I struck gold in the old mining town. “I’m very impressed with Otis and Henry’s,” said James Harmon of Denver, a professional restaurateur who manages restaurants in Toledo, Ohio. Harmon was spending a couple of days in Black Hawk with his friend Karen Kellen, a hair stylist at the Reynas Salon. “We go to some of the other high-end, upscale restaurants in Denver for breakfast and I think this is just as good for a fraction of the cost,” he said. The couple had been up to the Lady Luck and Isle Casino Hotel Black Hawk three times in five months. Harmon and Kellen came up Labor Day, as they had received a free night stay at the Isle Hotel by being Player’s Card members. They actually received two nights stays

and passed along one of the rooms to Kellen’s mom and a friend to enjoy the gaming experience and quality restaurants. The Isle is an adjacent sister property to Lady Luck. The couple had a streak of luck the last time and Kellen won $600 and Harmon came away with a $400 profit. “The presentation of the food was beautiful, they ‘nailed it’ with the portion size, freshness and price,” said Harmon. “Where else can you go in Black Hawk and Central City that you can get blackened Tilapia with a beurre blanc sauce?” said Scott Tompkins, Lady Luck’s food and beverage supervisor, referring to the diverse succulent entre selections at Otis and Henry’s restaurant and the French white wine sauce, made from scratch. “We do a lot of scratch cooking, all of our ingredients are fresh,” said Manny Hernandez, Jr., Chef D’Cuisine at Lady Luck who has
“It’s a very exciting time, as Lady Luck’s guests have been telling us in a survey that they have missed some of our old favorite promotions,” said Kelly Ireland, marketing manager at Lady Luck Casino in Black Hawk. “We are bringing those promotions back. “On Monday and Tuesday each week, Lady Luck is going to be giving away $100 each hour,” said Ireland. “That was so long ago that we were giving $100 in coins, now they are tickets.” In October, the promotion will begin – and run through December – with the casino giving away attractive ceramic jars followed by Halloween, Thanksgiving and Holiday/Christmas specialty ceramic items. “The tradition of lots of winners will continue,” Ireland said. “Lady Luck likes to have numerous winners each receiving something. Other casinos may have one winner for a big prize, we prefer to have a number of winners, so everyone has a greater chance of winning something. “We are very excited to be bringing back some of the guests favorite past promotions like gift of the month, $100 Hourly Hot seats and weekly Slot Tournaments. In addition, there’ll be fun new promotions and as usual, featuring lots of winners.”
Award winning hotel
TripAdvisor.com, which boasts being the “world’s largest travel site,” awarded the Lady Luck Hotel a 2013 Certificate of Excellence award. This noteworthy hotel is four floors high and has 164 rooms and several suites available. Hotel features rooms with a choice of one king or two queen beds and is just steps away from the newly remodeled casino. “A good night’s sleep is assured atop a pillow-top mattress. All rooms include a 32” LCD flatscreen television with cable programming, a desk for the business traveler, in-room safe, hair dryer, and iron with ironing board for your use during your stay,” according to Lady Luck’s website.

was promoted with the Isle team after spending 14 years with the company. “They build the intimate relationship with customers. “This is a smaller operation, so customers don’t have to feel that you are getting lost in the shuffle, like you might in a bigger place. We try to provide the best customer service, that is what differentiates the Lady Luck. We try to focus on more people winning.” The warm surroundings are very apparent once you walk into the Lady Luck, as one of the guest safety officers or another employee greets you walking through the entrances of the casino. “Hey big guy, what’s going on,” said Ron, a friendly and robust guest safety officer with a warm smile and a handlebar moustache to a guest and his sons, recognizing them from their prior visit the week before. His colleague Jackie also warmly talks with the guests as she walks

around the casino “Our guests return to Lady Luck because they love the family atmosphere,” said Ireland. “Many of the employees here have been at the Lady Luck for a long time. The guests feel like they are at home here and part of the family.” The Lady Luck has approximately 500 slots, nine gaming tables, six blackjack tables, one roulette table,
five poker tables and a craps table. The quaint and cozy environment attracts a lot of returning customers. “I like working here because everybody is so friendly,” said Bonita, one of the original employees of the Colorado Central Station, which is now Lady Luck.

the casino 18 years ago. “Everyone here smiles at us, they are so friendly and nice,” said Leo Garcia, 65, from Denver who comes up three times a week to the Lady Luck with his wife Mary. The couple had been coming to this casino since it first opened and is VIP’s with their Player’s Card, providing them special incentives and rewards. “I come here because my wife wins here,” said Leo. In April, Mary won a brand new Mustang car and took the cash option, $17,500 after paying Uncle Sam and state taxes. “We’ve won more than we have lost all of the years,” he said. The Garcias stay at the Lady Luck Hotel every Saturday night with discounted or free coupons they receive from the Players Card membership and being VIP’s. “You are going to be treated well and will play where your friends play,” said Leo. “It’s like being at home.” This statement echoes the same statements Lady Luck management shared.
Mary’s advice, “I stay in one place at the same slot machine and don’t jump to other machines.” “It’s close, it’s fun with a good atmosphere, a cool place to be,” said Waylon Crabtree of Loveland, who was celebrating his 29th birthday at the Lady Luck. He was surprised when his girlfriend Erin Campbell provided the trip as a gift. “It’s close but you get to have a vacation away from home,” said Campbell who manages a horse facility in Ft. Collins.

Promotions galore
Currently, Lady Luck Casino has a promotion featuring a new sporty looking Cadillac that will be awarded to one winner on Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. Another popular promotion at this original Black Hawk casino is ChaChingO, which Ireland describes like Plinko. This game has three winners per hour. For more information and promotions, visit www.ladyluck blackhawk.com.

10 Tips for Perfect Grilling
To help you get the perfect steaks every time, follow these simple tips from the experts at Omaha Steaks: 1. Clean and preheat grill on high. 2. Lightly oil everything before putting it on the grill. This helps the searing process and prevents sticking. 3. Season food before grilling. 4. Sear the outside of steaks when grilling. This helps with the flavor and juiciness. 5. Use tongs or a spatula to turn meat on the grill. Using a fork can damage the meat. 6. Cover grill as much as possible during the grilling process. This helps to lock in the grilled flavor and will help prevent flare-ups. 7. Keep a spray bottle with water handy to douse any unexpected flare-ups. 8. Use the 60/40 grilling method. Grill for 60 percent of the time on the first side, then grill 40 percent of the time after turning over the food. This will make sure your food is evenly cooked. 9. Place cooked food on a clean plate. Never place cooked food on the plate you used to transport the raw food to the grill without thoroughly washing it first. 10. Allow foods to “rest” for 5 minutes between cooking and eating. This will help them retain moisture when you cut into them. To get your grill time just right, download SteakTime, Omaha Steaks’ free app with an innovative grill timer, at www.itunes.com/appstore.
