By Peter Jones 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
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. Photos by Peter Jones wanted a car that would drive us,” Mosby says. “We said, no, we want a car we can drive.”

The chance 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
Local woman gets 28 months for tax evasion By Peter Jones An Arapahoe County businesswoman will spend more than two years in prison for failing to file $4.7 million in employment taxes. After serving her 28-month sentence, Beth Ann Pettyjohn, 61, will spend three years on supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $4.7 million in restitution and a $25,000 fine. According to the indictment, Pettyjohn, the co-owner and vice president of Overhead Door Company, stopped submitting the taxes withheld from her employees’ wages to the Internal Revenue Service for a six-year period beginning in September 2003.
Pettyjohn, who has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and an inactive license as a certified public accountant, later told an IRS agent she did not pay the taxes “because the IRS was not beating down her door.” During the period in question, Pettyjohn and her husband lived in a home valued at more than $1 million. Special IRS agent Stephen Boyd said employers who fail to remit such taxes are victimizing legitimate businesses by creating an unfair advantage. “As this sentence demonstrates, there are real consequences for committing employment tax fraud,” he said.

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.

LPS bond issue addresses structural problems
Refinancing would not raise taxes
L
By Tom Barry ittleton Public Schools is ready to restructure – its buildings and its debt. The district currently instructs 15,350 students. The age of the structures for the district varies from 32 to 93 years old. The average building is more than 50 years old. “Every one of our schools are leaking and cracking,” said Scott Murphy, the LPS superintendent of schools who has been dealing with school finance issues since 1981. “Every one of your schools – today, yesterday, the day before and probably tomorrow – are leaking. We have very old roofs that are cracking. It’s the nature of Colorado that they have to be replaced time to time.” For example, Littleton High School has a boiler that was installed in the mid-1950s. Replacement parts are not available because the manufacturer went out of business in 2002. “Our people are truly using pliers and bailing wires to hold that thing together and running,” said Murphy, who has been with the district for 23 years. All this in mind, the LPS Board of Education has placed 3B, an $80 million bond issue, on the upcoming Nov. 5 ballot. Murphy stressed particular problems at Runyon Elementary School, which had major structural issues that had to be addressed last year on an emergency basis. During winter break, temporary support beams and braces were erected in each classroom and other areas for safety issues. The roof also needs to be replaced. A recent report identified the
greatest areas of need: upgrading heating and ventilation systems, including replacement of original boilers; repairing and improving power and electrical equipment; replacing failing roofing; repairing or upgrading fire alarms and fire sprinkler systems; repairing and replacing inefficient lighting; repairing deficient plumbing; updating wireless access points and improving technology infrastructure to support science, technology, engineering and math programs The review of the district’s physical structures was initiated nearly two years ago and the citizens’ Capital Improvement Planning Committee and district consultants began the extensive undertaking last spring. This will not be the first time district voters have had to make a decision like this. LPS has been going to homeowners every seven to 10 years successfully requesting voters approve bond issues. Generally, 85 percent of voters participate in these elections, Murphy said. “We’ve been cautions and prudent about what we give to the voters,” he said in a firm tone. “These are not our assets. They are the community’s assets.” If voters approve 3B, construction is slotted to begin next May, as most construction activity would require the students and staff to be out of school. Three to four LPS employees would be assigned to full-time constructionrelated activities. Supporters of the bond issue have formed Citizens for Littleton Public Schools Committee. John Brackney, South Metro Denver Chamber President and CEO, is a board member and is actively crusading for passage. “The basic property values – any and every Realtor will tell you this – the property value is
buildings. “We will continue to take care of what we can on an emergency basis,” he said, “and at a certain point there is nothing we can do but go back to the public again and say, ‘do you want to get into this kind of condition?’”

primarily dependent upon the quality of the school district,” he said. “So by investing into the infrastructure of the school district, they are investing into their own property values and their own quality of life. … By supporting this issue they are, frankly, keeping their own property values strong.” The South Metro Board of Realtors and the chamber have both endorsed the measure, and

Brackney is quick to point out that the Public Education Business Coalition has also unanimously recommended the passage of 3B. That coalition names Microsoft, Comcast, Wells Fargo, First Bank and DaVita amongst the members. To date, there is no active organized opposition. The 3B campaign website features a detailed summary of what is needed and what would be repaired at each school and other district structures. LPS has 24 structures, all in need of varying levels of repairs. Supporters of the ballot issue say the district, as it stands, has been forced to pick and choose among more than $100 million in needs. If the bond issue does not pass, Murphy said, it would mean more of the same for the district’s
Like refinancing a home Amy Walker Kurtz, co-chair of Citizens for Littleton Public Schools Committee, compares the district’s proposal to a home refinance. “Because of the lower interest rates in the economy, a lot of people have taken that opportunity …” she said. “The district has also done that in refinancing some of their bonds, which enabled part of their bond structure to go down and opened up the capability to buy more bonds.” A committee member told The Villager that the campaign would need about $50,000 to $60,000 to get its message to voters. To date, the campaign has raised about $20,000 for mailings and yard signs. The message is one of a cautious district trying to make ends meet. “Through very prudent management, [the district] created this opportunity to basically sell more bonds,” Kurtz said. “… We are asking for funds to take care of the most urgent problems and [are] not raising the tax rate.” In refinancing its bonds, LPS has already been able to reduce its interest rate to 2.9 percent – a drop from the earlier 5.2 percent. The school board has decided to go to the voters now due to the low interest rates, Kurtz said. Brackney and Murphy are quick to stress what they consider the long-term importance of passing the issue. “This is people passing a torch from one generation to another,” Brackney said. “Pay me now or pay me later,” added Murphy, using an old cliché. “Ultimately, you have to take care of your infrastructure and the cost will keep going up if you wait.”

Coffman honored by national senior advocacy group Submitted by Rep. Mike Coffman’s office
The Grange, a national, nonpartisan grassroots organization that advocates on behalf of America’s rural seniors, presented U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman with the Summer 2013 Champion of Seniors Award on Aug. 21. Coffman received the award for his unwavering efforts to protect the health benefits and security of Colorado’s seniors and citizens with disabilities. Coffman was presented the award at his offices in Aurora by Marge Sassman, secretary of the Colorado State Grange. “Congressman Coffman has been a constant champion in Congress for Colorado’s seniors,” Sassman said. “Whether the issue is protecting Medicare, ensuring access to affordable prescription medicines or safeguarding healthcare choices for older Americans, we can count on Congressman Coffman. We’re proud to express our thanks with this national award.”
“Standing up for the needs of older Coloradans has been a fundamental priority for me in Congress,” Coffman said. “These men and women worked hard their entire lives to build a brighter future for their families and their communities, and it’s our bedrock responsibility to help protect their access to quality, affordable healthcare choices. I am honored to receive this award from the National Grange.” Criteria for the award included: • Exhibiting outstanding leadership in Congress to protect Medicare, which is critical to millions of American seniors and their families • Opposing across-the-board cuts made by unelected boards • Ensuring access to affordable prescription medicines for seniors through the Medicare Part D program and opposing any efforts to implement price controls or similar measures that would lead to increases in premiums for seniors

Arrest warrant issued for man who fled medical facility after dropping off victim By Peter Jones It may have been a hit and run – but with a twist. Call it a hit, take and run, perhaps. But in any case, it was the wrong move after a driver hit a boy who was riding his bicycle in a Centennial parking lot. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has obtained a warrant for the man whom they believe ran into the juvenile with his truck last week and then fled after dropping him off at nearby medical office. John Alfred Fresquez, 39, of Centennial has been charged with three felonies and three misdemeanors in connection to the incident last week. Anyone who believes they have information that could help locate him is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at 303795-4711. On Sept. 10 at about 4:45 p.m., investigators believe Fresquez
John Alfred Fresquez struck the boy with his Chevrolet truck in the parking lot of a King Soopers at 5555 E. Arapahoe Road. Before fleeing, Fresquez drove the injured boy to a Kaiser Permanente medical building five blocks away. After leaving the boy in the lobby, the driver left with the boy’s bike still in the back of his truck. Fresquez has been charged with failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving serious bodily injury, driving a vehicle while revoked as a habitual traffic offender, tampering with physical evidence,
theft and careless driving. No information has been released about the boy’s condition. A main issue, according to Chief Vincent Line with the Sheriff’s Office, is that although the driver evidently sought help for the boy, he did not report the accident to authorities or remain on the scene of the accident or the medical building to speak to law enforcement. “If you hit somebody and load them up and take them to a hospital and you stick around to report it, the chances are less that you’ve got a failure to report, but you could still potentially have leaving the scene of an accident,” Line said. The transport of an injured accident victim by a nonprofessional is also usually discouraged due to the potential risk to the victim. Line says the unusual case should serve as a reminder of the proper course of action to take if one gets into a vehicular accident. “Our guidance would be, regardless of the circumstances, stay on the scene, call 911, and summon professionals to provide the assistance,” he said.

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.

Tate runs for Centennial City Council
Rita Russell
Russell makes bid for the Englewood City Council Longtime resident Rita Russell is seeking election to the Englewood City Council in District 2. Russell grew up in Englewood, where she and her husband of 43 years raised their two children. She is also the proud grandmother of four grandchildren. Her husband, Dan, is an Air Force veteran. Russell is a retired small-business owner who says she has the practical and proven experience necessary to make tough and decisive decisions. “I am not a politician, but I decided to get involved because I believe our City Council has been making decisions that are eroding our basic rights and destroying the city’s economic welfare,” she said. In the wake of recent controversial decision to sell the historic Englewood Depot to a Denver couple, Russell believes the city needs to stop ignoring citizen initiatives and protect the right of Englewood residents to vote and have representation of their desires for the city. The candidate says as a councilmember she would pursue responsible growth by partnering with existing businesses and develop Englewood’s economic interests by focusing on economic development. She believes the city does not need to raise taxes, but should control spending instead. Russell said, “Englewood can become strong economically again and return to that great place for families to raise their children.”
Jack Tate has formally announced his candidacy for Centennial City Council in District 4. Tate comes to his candidacy from the private sector, where he has spent his career developing and managing significant capital projects related to improving infrastructure. He says his company has ensured that important city and state projects address critical needs in ways that are self-funded without requiring the use of scarce capital. Besides having an executive leadership role and the requisite experience with budgets and the bottom line, Tate has maintained a hands-on role that has seen him writing and negotiating contracts and managing deliverables for cities, such as Centennial. “When working in a technical field, you get pretty used to not having all of the answers,” he said. “A core management skill of mine is the ability to bring together a team, whether of tradesmen or stakeholders, to identify possible solutions to a problem and choose the best path forward. … I can connect with folks of all levels and interests, from the CFO to the boiler mechanic, from the civil engineer to the artist, as a result of my background.”
Jack Tate Since making the decision to seek office, Tate has invested in efforts to learn about the city, its history and philosophy – and most importantly, the expressed views and needs of its residents. He says he has met with citizens by going door to door, conducting personal interviews, engaging homeowners associations and attending city events and meetings. “In a capacity as an elected representative, you have the dual role of trustee and delegate,” Tate said. “Citizens are looking for someone with my background, experience and skills to roll up my sleeves and tackle an issue in depth, acting on their behalf and best interest. However, there is also the expectation that I act according to their general will and beliefs.”
Tate comes from Nashville, Tenn. As a child of a retired professor and a nurse, he looks back at his upbringing as one that taught the fundamental value of education, respect for other people, care for the elderly and an interest in helping a community champion its identity. He attended the Duke University in North Carolina and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering. He subsequently attended graduate programs at Vanderbilt University, the University of Missouri, and the University of Colorado at Denver, where he is completing his Master in Business Administration and a Master of Science in Finance. He is married to Dr. Kathleen Tate, who grew up in Arapahoe County and attended Cherry Creek High School. They have two teenagers and a child in elementary school. “As a councilmember I will work diligently to maintain our city’s successes, like a low-crime rate and high levels of customer satisfaction,” the candidate said. “Going forward, I will be a passionate voice for economic growth and attracting business to our city.”

Randy Perlis
Perlis seeks re-election to Cherry Creek Board of Education Submitted by Randy Perlis Cherry Creek School Board Vice President Randy Perlis is running for second term. Perlis has served on the board since 2007 and has been a resident in the Cherry Creek School District since 1983. His three children (Michelle, Tony and Lauren) attend Aspen Crossing Elementary School, Sky Vista Middle School and Eaglecrest High School. His wife of 18 years, Kim Perlis, is a state certified elementary education teacher in Cherry Creek and works as bookkeeper for the before and after school program. Perlis is a chemist with 35 years of experience in hazardous materials response. Professionally, Perlis has more than 18 years of experience with EPA contracts with the Field Investigation Team, Technical Assistance Team, and Superfund Technical Assistance and Response Team. Perlis has been the START senior project manager for Counter Terrorism program since 1996. He currently is in the second year of his doctoral studies at the University of Northern Colorado with studies in the Chemistry Education Ph.D. program. Perlis also teaches freshman chemistry classes at the University of Northern Colorado and has served as a swimming and diving official in the Denver area for more than 20 years. Perlis served on the board during four years of budget cuts, working to maintain the high level of academic achievement for which the district is known. All Cherry Creek Schools continue to rank in the two highest levels of Accreditation by the Colorado Department of Education. Perlis tirelessly campaigned to successfully pass two bond and budget elections in 2008 and 2012 to maintain class size, improve technology and preserve programs to ensure all students receive a worldclass education to prepare for higher education and the world of work. “This year we begin implementing the new Educator Effectiveness teacher evaluations and the introduction of the new Colorado Academic Standards in Math and Language Arts,” Perlis said. “It’s critical that we continue on the course of high academic expectations for which the Cherry Creek School District has always been known.” While on the board he has served on many special district committees, including the Long-Range Facility Planning Committee, the Medical Advisory Board, the Special Education Advisory Board, the District Accountability Committee, and the Community Asset Project. Perlis is a strong advocate for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math programs at all schools in the district. Board members are elected at large by all voters residing in the Cherry Creek School District but board members represent the district in which they live. The all-mail ballot election is Nov. 5.

Quincy Farm Visioning Committee process moves ahead By Jan Wondra In its progress report to the Sept. 3 Cherry Hills Village City Council, the nine-member Quincy Farm Visioning committee laid out the array of options it must consider to develop the long-term recommendation it is expected to present in December. “Our project goal at this stage is to create a vision, not a management plan,” said Committee Chair Charlie Maguire. “Our key question is ‘what is the potential for the site?’” Maguire was joined by Tina Bishop of Mundus Bishop Consulting, the firm hired by the city to work with the visioning committee. She recapped the visioning work as a process saying, “We’ve completed a physical inventory of the site, identified several potential uses, we’ll need to consider what aspects would need funding and revenue, what might be potential partners for shared use.” The committee’s work is longterm, as the Cherry Hills Village resident Catherine (Cat) Anderson, who presented the Anderson property to the city in 2007, continues to live on the property. It is subject to a conservation easement with Colorado Open Lands and a reserved life estate. The extraordinary gift will provide the city with a large, new park called Quincy Farm comprised of approximately 17.5 acres of land situated on both sides of the High Line Canal immediately south of East Quincy Avenue. The property includes several buildings, including a house on the National Historic Registry, as well as the Hopkins
House, horse barns, a pond and wildlife. “Realizing this is an iterative process,” said Mayor Doug Tisdale, “can you share any of the vision surfacing so far?” Bishop said, “This property is considered to be a very authentic piece of Colorado history. It also has great tree cover that hasn’t been cleared. In the site reviews and visioning meetings, words that often come up are ‘authentic,’ ‘connecting kids to agriculture’ and ‘nature-play’. Comments that we should keep it informal and natural come up often. ” The programs uses to which the site could be put to use may be broken out by zone. These include use as an interpretation and education center, which could be suitable for children and family farm-to-table education, sometimes called “urban agricultural.” Some of the buildings on the site could be repurposed. “The main house is historic and could be used for events and community rooms,” said Bishop. “Pond access is under discussion, perhaps allowing access only for special events. We’ve talked about historic preservation, about telling a story about Cherry Hills Village. Others have raised the idea of making it a refuge, focused on its conservation heritage. Still others have raised its equestrian history (it is the site of Cat Anderson’s Pony Club) or making it an agricultural base.” Water access is always an issue in Colorado. “What is the availability of water?” asked Councilman Mark Griffin.
“The property has, not just the pond and the High Line Canal, but water rights; a well filled from the Arapaho Basin,” said Maguire. “We believe this property can be a catalyst for the rest of the park system for how to handle important park projects.” Councilwoman Klasina VanderWerf said, “Cat was careful to involve her neighbors before the conservation easement was in place. While this committee hasn’t met again with the neighbors, that will happen. The carriage house is quite close to the property line.” The committee’s work is not without its challenges, but Bill Lucas, chair of the Parks Trails and Recreation Committee to which the Quincy Farm Visioning Committee reports, said, “We’re on target to finish the report by December.” Maguire said, “This is a cohesive group, but we are struggling to distinguish between our role as visioners (for the future of Quincy Farm) and the challenges we see to meeting that vision, which could move us prematurely toward identifying action steps,” said Maguire. “The most important thing that people can do is have an open mind,” said committee member and former Mayor Jeff Welborn. “I think December is aggressive. This property is a matrix, its three-dimensional, not vertical. Especially the water issues. I came into the committee with some ideas and it seems as if so far I’ve thrown most of those out. This is a big deal...with a lot of fine people working on it.”
Household HazMat roundup, Sept. 21 The cities of Englewood and Littleton will hold their annual Household Hazardous Waste Roundup Saturday, Sept. 21 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Englewood Service Center, 2800 S. Platte River Drive (on the east side of the South Platte River). The event is open to City of Littleton and City of Englewood residents only. Residency will be verified at the event. There is a $20 copay for each family’s hazardous waste. Checks or cash only. Accepted items include:

Englewood OKs distilleries and wineries
Downtown businesses must incorporate restaurants, tours etc.
By Peter Jones More brews may be coming to Broadway.

zones. “We want to preserve the commercial character of our downtown and generate foot traffic in these highly visible areas of Englewood,” Mayor Randy Penn said. “Sample tastings, retail and tours of distilleries and breweries help generate pedestrian activity and vibrancy.” Brewing of beer had previously been allowed in Englewood, but the distillation of other alcoholic beverages had been prohibited in the city until the new ordinance was passed. The code changes, approved unanimously on Sept. 3, were in

response to interest from local craft brewers and distillers who have wanted to locate along Englewood’s South Broadway corridor, especially near the intersection with Hampden Avenue. The new ordinance allows small breweries, distilleries and wineries of up to 10,000 square feet in size to locate in downtown business zones. Such operations would be required to have a sales room, public tours, a restaurant or a tavern. Those businesses operating in the city’s industrial zones would not be subject to the same requirement. Interest in craft alcohol started
brewing in Englewood last year when businessman Paul Webster unveiled his plans to open a craft brewery on South Broadway. His Brew on Broadway, or BOB, debuted in July. With the new ordinance in place, businessman Ryan White has publicly stated his plans to open Devil’s Head Distillery in Englewood with plans to distill gin, vodka and more by the end of the year. While Colorado’s craft breweries have become increasing popular, only about 40 distilleries are currently operating in the state.
Revitalization Grant deadline approaching The City of Littleton is accepting applications for the Revitalization Incentive Grant 2013. The deadline for an application is Monday, Sept. 30. The Littleton City Council approved funds for a new program in 2013 intended to revitalize the appearance of businesses located in buildings constructed prior to 2000. A total of $50,000 is budgeted for the Revitalization Incentive Grant Program and matching funds are available for up to $10,000 per project. The goal of the program is to leverage private money to make affordable and creative improvements to older business proper-
ties. All work must be in areas visible from the public right-ofway and may include landscaping, signage, exterior lighting, architectural/design assistance, and parking area and façade improvements. Other benefits include the potential elimination of permit fees, additional funding for extensive renovations, and bonus funding if a contractor is used who is located and licensed in the city of Littleton. An application is required and more information can be found by visiting the city’s website at littletongov.org/ economicdevelopment.

ockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, has been selected by the Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes, a government agency of Mexico, to provide commercial launch services using the Atlas V launch vehicle for Mexico’s Morelos-3 communications satellite (also known as MEXSAT-2). The launch is scheduled to occur as early as 2015 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. with support from Centennial-based United Launch Alliance. “Yesterday’s announcement involving two Colorado companies - Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services and United Launch Alliance - shows the continued strength and forward momentum of Colorado’s aerospace industry,” said Gov. John Hickenlooper. “As part of our economic development strategy, we have worked closely with the aerospace industry leaders and international partners to help facilitate and support these success stories. Colorado ranks 2nd nationally in aerospace employment and this announcement shows our industry leaders are continuing to innovate and grow, which continues to strengthen Colorado’s economy and sustain high tech jobs.” Morelos-3 will be the third
of three communications satellites that comprise the MEXSAT communications satellite system. MEXSAT is a constellation of satellites owned by Secretaria de Comunicaciones y Transportes and operated by Telecomunicaciones de Mexico that delivers advanced telecommunications throughout Mexico. “We are extremely pleased to be selected for this vital mission that will provide the government of Mexico with world class Atlas launch services for the Morelos-3 satellite, supporting the nation’s growing satellite communications needs,” said Robert R. Cleave, president, Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services. Chamber President & CEO John Brackney said, “The continuing partnership between Chamber Investors Lockheed Martin and United Launch Alliance shows the South Metro Denver area continues to be a focal point of aerospace technology and innovation. We cel-
ebrate this important international contract.” The MEXSAT program provides communications to rural zones as a complement to other networks and will also provide secure communications for Mexico’s national security needs. Satellite services include education and health programs, voice, data, video and Internet services. Lockheed Martin Commercial Launch Services, a business unit of Lockheed Martin Corporation, markets the Atlas V to commercial satellite customers worldwide and also offers Athena launch services for small satellites and multi-payload RideShare missions.

Vote yes on 2G in Centennial
The City of Centennial has ballot question 2G to ask the voters to restore local authority taken away by SB-152 in 2005. I hope you will consider a YES Vote on this matter on Nov. 5 To date, more than 40 miles of fiber network has been built primarily to provide an intelligent traffic system and up to the minute weather stations across Centennial. Nothing has been decided on the use of this dark fiber or on how we should foster a more competitive marketplace through public private partnerships. City Council, with a unanimous vote, has placed this question on the November ballot for your consideration. It would be irresponsible of city council to explore any options without restoring self determination. No one knows what beneficial use can be created by using our dark fiber but to explore an honest dialog for its best use is very important to all Centennial citizens. Help us find out what can be achieved by taking this journey with city council. Please say YES on 2G in order to find out the best use of our network. Thank you. Councilmember Ron Weidmann Centennial
Recall renews ‘government of the people’
While our state General Assembly deliberated gun-control measures early this year, hundreds of Coloradans offered testimony opposing the bills and thousands wrote or called their legislators. Too many of those legislators ignored their constituents’ instructions and voted their party’s instructions instead. Clearly those legislators forgot whom they represent, whose taxes pay their salaries and benefits, whose rights they vowed to protect. Governments exist to protect citizens’ natural rights. That is the premise that underpins our precious Constitution. Governments derive their power from us; all the power is ours, and we delegate a portion to our local, state and federal governments for the purposes delimited in that Constitution. Only those purposes. Our governments are not chartered to proclaim rules that violate our Constitutional rights. When our state legislators enacted those gun-control measures, they stepped across that line. Wisely, Coloradans decried that Constitutional violation. We must never tolerate tyranny.

Childhood in Colorado: Beyond the headlines
September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month and this critical issue has been the focus of several recent studies and media coverage. In particular, there was a national study recently released that touts great strides in many states’ childhood obesity rates, while Colorado stood out as one of few showing an increase. How could this possibly be? With our sunshine-filled skies, mountain trails, farmers markets and farm-to-table eateries, Colorado always leads the pack in healthy living, right? In fact, according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2013, Colorado is now the least obese state in the nation, with the adult obesity rate at 20.5 percent. However, that rate has doubled in the past 20 years. We must quickly concede that our collective work is far from over when it comes to obesity in our state and nation. Some perspective first: A recently released report published by the Centers for Disease Control shows that obesity among low-income preschoolers declined in 19 of 43 states studied from 2008 through 2011 — the first decline in decades. Colorado is reported as one of only three states where
childhood obesity rates in this category actually increased. Examining the numbers, Colorado’s upturn in the study puts us at a 10.4 percent obesity rate, while other states that reported declines show obesity rates upward of 11 to 17 percent. And data from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) show that our childhood obesity rates have dropped recently, to 8.4 percent in 2012, putting us back on the right track. Regardless of whether the statistics move slightly up or down, the fact remains that childhood obesity poses a serious issue for our state and the nation. Children who are overweight or obese are five times more likely than their normal-weight peers to be overweight or obese as adults, saddling them with high risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some forms of cancer. LiveWell Colorado and our partners, including the Colorado Health Foundation and Kaiser Permanente, have been addressing childhood obesity head-on and will continue our collective diligence to reverse the trends for good. And the CDPHE has worked with the Woman, Infants, and Children program (WIC) and early child-care providers to promote healthy eating and physical activity for our youngest residents. State efforts

and (4) and add (6), (7), and (8) as follows:
A YES/FOR vote on any ballot issue is a vote in favor of changing current law or existing circumstances, and a NO/AGAINST vote on any ballot issue is a vote against changing current law or existing circumstances.
(1) Purpose. In state fiscal year 2001-2002 through state fiscal year 2010-2011, the statewide base per pupil funding, as defined by the Public School Finance Act of 1994, article 54 of title 22, Colorado Revised Statutes, on the effective date of this section, for public education from preschool through the twelfth grade and total state funding for all categorical programs shall grow annually at least by the rate of inflation plus an additional one percentage point. In state fiscal year 2011-2012, and each fiscal year thereafter, FOR STATE FISCAL YEARS 2011-2012 THROUGH 2013-2014, the statewide base per pupil funding for public education from preschool through the twelfth grade and total state funding for all categorical programs shall grow annually at a rate set by the general assembly that is at least equal to the rate of inflation.
I, Michael Mauer, Director of Research of the Colorado Legislative Council of the General Assembly of the State of Colorado, do hereby certify that the following is a true copy of the measures that will be voted upon by the registered electors of the state of Colorado at the statewide election to be held on November 5, 2013.
Amendment 66 The ballot title below is a summary drafted by the professional staff of the offices of the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the legal staff for the General Assembly for ballot purposes only. The ballot title will not appear in the Colorado Constitution or Colorado Revised Statutes. The text of the measure that will appear in the Colorado Constitution and Colorado Revised Statutes below was drafted by the proponents of the initiative. The initiated measure is included on the ballot as a proposed change to current law because the proponents gathered the required amount of petition signatures.

Beginning on the effective date of this measure, AND THROUGH JUNE 30, 2014, all state revenues collected from a tax of one third of one percent on federal taxable income, as modified by law, of every individual, estate, trust and corporation, as defined in law, shall be deposited in the state education fund.

BEGINNING IN STATE FISCAL YEAR 2014-2015, THE STATE EDUCATION FUND SHALL, AT A MINIMUM, RECEIVE FORTY-THREE PERCENT OF SALES, EXCISE, AND INCOME TAX REVENUE COLLECTED IN THE GENERAL FUND IN A MANNER AS TO EQUAL SUCH PERCENTAGE IN RELATION TO THE REVENUE GENERATED BY THE TAX RATES IN EFFECT ON DECEMBER 31, 2012 NET OF ANY REFUNDS REQUIRED BY SECTION 20, SUBSECTIONS (3)(c) AND (7) OF ARTICLE X OF THIS CONSTITUTION. All interest earned on monies in the state education fund shall be deposited in the state education fund and shall be used before any principal is depleted.

have increased breastfeeding in hospitals and work sites, while local food assistance programs, community support and federal programs help provide access to more affordable healthy food sources. LiveWell Colorado works to make sustainable healthy changes in schools by training school nutrition staff to prepare scratch meals and growing school gardens, while advocating for more physical activity and the infrastructure needed for safe play and active transportation. The only way we can meaningfully continue to reduce childhood obesity is if we continue these efforts together in earnest. It won’t be easy or quick, as the data show, but it’s the only way we can give Colorado’s kids the healthy future they deserve.

Letters to the Editor Continued from Page 10 of Chapparal during our HOA Board meeting on Sept. 9, during the discussion of the recent community recall election where she and the other members of the HOA board were recalled by a vote of 139 to 11. “You guys ruined many nights. I have been holding this for so many months. I have lost nights with my family, dinners, sleep; stressed out because you guys threw the crap in the fan and blew it everywhere rather than coming to talk to us. I don’t care
that Chris is strong, I don’t care if Chris [HOA president] is following all these bylaws and asking people to stop talking because the meetings run long. OK. I’m happy he has a backbone. I wouldn’t be able to run this thing, this ship that guides us through this Chapparal Homeowner’s Association meeting every month. We don’t get paid. I’m writing notes as a secretary, OK. But I’m appalled by you grownups, lying, manipulating, bullying, cheating, whatever it was I’m so appalled. I would love to quit.” In spite of the stated desire to quit,
Bromley and the rest of the HOA Board refuse to step down. Her actions and comments speak volumes about the respect she has for her neighbors, her leadership ability, and her ability to deal with tough situations. Centennial needs levelheaded leadership, NOT the over reactive, accusatory and unsteady characteristics Bomley’s remarks indicate. If as she states she couldn’t run an HOA Board, how can she be expected to run the City of Centennial? Tom Lash Centennial
Turley, best choice for Centennial City Council in District 1
Kathy Turley, long-time resident and community contributor, has a passion for service and heart for the City of Centennial. She has worked tirelessly on numerous local boards and committees and raised her family here. Especially committed to addressing seniors’ needs, Turley served on the Arapahoe County Council on Aging, Centennial’s Senior Commission, DRCOG Aging and Adult Services Advisory Board, the InnovAge Advisory
Council and the White House Conference on Aging. Seniors are not her only focus. All of Centennial’s residents and businesses pay taxes directly and indirectly. Mrs. Turley’s dedication to fiscally responsible government will ensure that our tax dollars are spent prudently. “There will be no blank check on my watch,” she sincerely proclaims. We can trust Kathy Turley’s commitment to frugal, accountable, responsive city government. Esther L Herdt Centennial
From Our Politician
Starting early on political attack ads
R
ecently, a Washington, D.C.-based radical environmental group, the League of Conservation Voters, ran an unprecedented $790,000 worth of attack ads against me alleging that I was a “climate change denier.” This is by far the largest negative political ad buy, this far out from an election, in our state’s history. The attack ads were concentrated over a two-week period. First of all, the ads claimed, “Coffman questions whether climate change is even a problem.” There is no question that climate change is real since it has existed since the beginning of time and will always be a factor that can negatively impact our environment. The role that carbon emissions, from human activity, have on climate change is still a
Rep. Mike Coffman subject of debate but, in my view, there is no question that it also has a negative impact. What is clear is that we should do all that we can to reduce carbon emissions, irrespective of
how one feels about the validity of the extent of man-caused climate change, in order to improve the quality of our environment. However, we should do so under a balanced approach that considers the economic impact of our actions. What the League of Conservations Voters wants to do is to impose a carbon tax to raise the price of conventional carbonbased fuels in order to discourage their use and to make the higher cost renewable sources comparatively more attractive. I oppose that strategy because working and middle class families have had it hard enough under this economy and they don’t need to be punished even more with higher energy prices. Instead, I have voted to appropriate Federal dollars to research renewable energy solu-
tions that are not only beneficial to our environment, but will become more cost competitive with traditional fuel sources. The ads go on to say that I’m opposed to doing anything to reduce carbon emissions. Even by their standards, these claims are blatantly false. I’ve always endorsed an all of the above energy strategy and have publicly supported the wind energy production tax credit. In fact, just before the ads ran I was in Brighton visiting the Vestas plant that makes turbines for the wind energy industry. I’ve also been active in leading the effort to sanction China for unfair trade practices when it comes to their near-monopoly status on rare earth metals that are essential to both solar and wind energy manufacturing in the United States.
I believe that we can continue to reduce harmful carbon emissions in the United States through energy conservation and the development of cleaner cost competitive energy alternatives. These ads do not reflect that reality because they are trying to produce a partisan political outcome and not an environmental one. It’s unfortunate that there are powerful special interests groups out of Washington, D.C., that now think they can best influence elections in a state like Colorado by spending massive amounts of money on negative ads well over a year before voters will go to the polls to decide who will represent them. Congressman Mike Coffman represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District.

His main focus was on the recent recall, its process and progress. In 1912, the Colorado Constitution was amended so recall elections could be possible. “This recall sends an important message,” he said. In addition, he emphasized that the Republican Party needs to connect in a personal way stating that the Democrats are throwing up roadblocks to the American Dream. “Less government is better government”, he said.

Step 13 honors longtime supporters Mort and Edie Marks
By Glory Weisberg eal Change, Not Spare Change is the motto of Step 13, a nonprofit supported by Mort and Edie Marks for nearly 30 years, and for their steadfast dedication they were honored with the Eagle Award at the agency’s 30th Anniversary Celebration. Mort, as Villager readers know, is a veteran of the World War II Battle of the Bulge and in his weekly columns, Mort continues to champion freedom, serving on the Step 13 board since it all began with founder, Bob Coté.
R
Coté battled addiction and when he overcame it, he started the nonprofit that never has and never will take government funds. So the hand up means addicts don’t get a free meal and housing, they work for it, literally, remaining sober, getting work and paying for one’s own bed and the food he prepares for himself. Step 13 has a reputation for self-responsibility that brought Coté to the attention of President George H.W. Bush, who designated him as one of America’s Thousand Points of Light. The late Bill Daniels was among ini-
tial supporters, as was Philip Anschutz. Radio host Mike Boyle is a fervent voice for Step 13 and fellow radio talk host Mike Rosen emceed the dinner. Step 13 Board chairman Dean Dunn let dinner guests know just exactly who Coté is and how his dedication to the cause got him where he is today. Robert Woodson Sr., president and founder of the Center for Neighborhood Enterprise, was a special guest. We also met Marine Sgt. Max Brown, who fought in WWII at the Battle of Iwo Jima and the Korean War. Now 91 years old,
he proudly wore his uniform that literally lists his military accomplishments. Many other Marines and members of The Greatest Generations Foundation were on hand to help Coté celebrate. Among host committee members were Steve Schuck, John Sie, Barb Card, Patty Price, Dean Dunn, Pete Coors, Linda Childears and Dyanne Isaak. John Andrews, past state
Senator and founder of the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University, gave the invocation. Others there included Claudia and Bob Beauprez, Santiago Ceja, Dr. Paul Bell, Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler and wife, Kristi, Lyn and Tim Hall, and Peter Droege. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Cherry Creek bus driver wins State ‘Roadeo,’ takes 4th nationally Submitted by Jan Baker, Cherry Creek Schools bus driver Tim Schlieker, a veteran school bus driver for Cherry Creek Schools, took fourth place in the School Bus Driver International Safety Competition held in Tulsa, Okla., July 20-21. Schlieker won the honor to represent Colorado at the competition by taking the State Championship in Pueblo in June. The event, which included nearly 100 drivers from the United States and Canada, was held at the International Company factory, where competitors were treated to a tour of the school bus production facility. The competition, commonly referred to as a “roadeo,” included a 200-point written test relating to CDL requirements, CPR and First Aid, and other aspects of school bus procedures and operations. The driving portion included
parallel parking the 40-foot school bus, clearance exercises where space was limited to one inch on either side of the bus, driving the bus straight for more than 100 feet without deviating more than 1.5 inches from the markers and other tests of skill. “The challenging aspects of the tasks create better drivers all around,” said Schlieker. “I am pleased and honored to represent CCSD and the state of Colorado at the national and international level.” In related news, at the Adams County Roadeo, held on April 27, Cherry Creek bus drivers swept all four divisions. Schlieker again won the Conventional Trainers division, Ray Goik won the division for conventional drivers, Paul Kaempfer won the Trainers division for special needs, and Tom Lynch and Monnie Scheel won the Special Needs division.

embers of The Fine Arts Foundation lunched at Valley Country Club last week and installed the new board. D’Wayne Stone is the new president and she took over from Lynn Cahen, who is reprising her position in 2015. Talk about one dedicated activist! On the new board are Mary McNicholas, Margo Schlup, Elizabeth Hotz, Diana Petrow, Mary Melland, Jane Wilshire, Christine Trigg, Laurie Tatlock, Carolyn Kepner, Gail Nash, Toni Oakes Sexton, Lynn Hinkle and a host of others. Photographer Jim Steinberg is the 2014 Jubilee honoree and he will be feted Jan. 31, 2014, at the Downtown Westin. Lunch goers learned about one of the arts nonprofits they grant funds to, Phamaly, a theatrical group composed of those with a variety of disabilities. It is the only one of its kind that they know of in this country. They do Broadway musicals throughout Colorado in spots such as The Lone Tree Arts Center, the Aurora Fox Theater and the DCPA. They do six productions a year and Phamaly also holds 12 workshops a year to teach members how to write plays as well.

profit fundraising events. On Oct. 3 there are two breakfast events. LifeSpark Cancer Resources has its Fall Breakfast, Touching Tomorrow, 7:30 a.m., at the Wellshire Event Center. On the agenda is an announcement regarding a new research project. Presenting sponsor for the breakfast is Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers. Contact info is on the calendar. Boys Hope Girls Hope of Colorado has a Success Start with Hope Breakfast at the Greenwood Village Comedy Works South, at The Landmark. One of our favorite annual events is the Girls & Guys Night Out, always at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center. The date is Oct. 4 and Caroline Rhea is the comedienne. The Denver and L.E.A. Chapters of Hadassah members will be at The Mizel Arts and Culture Center MACC at the JCC for the Colorado premiere of “From Door to Door,” a comedy about three generations of women in America. Another salute to American life is on Oct. 12 when the Colorado Neurological Institute, CNI, celebrates 25 years, asking guests to come in 1940s style clothes. It’s at the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. This patriotic era is so often celebrated we should just go purchase a woolen military uniform from the 1940s, but we get itchy just looking at them-on others, but then we would just love to look like the Navy nurses or sailors in the Broadway musical, South Pacific. I’d start at the Army and Navy Surplus Store in Englewood. The complete October Charity Calendar will appear in coming Villager issues.
Etiquette
The Invisible Disabilities Association has its Honors Banquet, Oct. 24. Verbatim, here’s what’s on their info postcard, which we just love: “This is a Fragrance Free Event.
Please be considerate of people attending with illness, allergies, asthma and chemical sensitivities by not wearing perfume, cologne or fragranced lotion.” It would be the dream of many people who would attend fundraisers if only they were assured they wouldn’t have to grab allergy meds or migraine pills just to come and participate. Perfume gained popularity at a time when most people didn’t have regular access to bathtubs or showers. So perfume concealed one stinky problem by inventing a camouflage. It reminds us of an etiquette piece published somewhere when non-smoking laws prevented indoor smoking at most public places, that now that the air was clean, men’s backs were emitting a scent no one considered attractive. There’s a reason department stores often offer a free tote bag to those purchasing perfume. It’s a way to entice shoppers to buy the scents they often gift to others. Multiply that one person’s dousing of perfume by the number of women who wear it and soon it’s toxic to just enter a ballroom or restaurant or other places people congregate. And by the way, women aren’t alone in this assault on our senses, men’s cologne and aftershave is a hurdle to vault as well. If you’ve ever held a newborn baby, you know how wonderful the little darling smells. It’s addicting and on purpose as Mother Nature probably figured that you’d want to feed and care for someone who smells so good. So when did we get to an age when we had to cover up that Mother Nature’s scent by slathering on camouflage? If you remember those Ivory soap commercials, you remember it’s the soap that floats because it’s empty of added stuff your body doesn’t need.

By Glory Weisberg The Countess of Dunraven and Duncan and Lady Ana Johnson visited the Cherry Hills Village home of Richard and Linda V.G. Kelley, and about 100 guests applauded when Cherry Hills Village Mayor Doug Tisdale proclaimed Sept. 10, 2013, Countess of Dunraven Day in Cherry Hills Village. The royalty arrived here from Adare, County Limerick, Ireland, for a tour of the Rocky Mountains. Their ancestor, Windham Thomas Wyndham-Quin, the Fourth Earl of Dunraven explored and hunted in the area with Buffalo Bill Cody, in the area that became Yellowstone National Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. With the Homestead Act Lord Dunraven bought land, which became Estes Park. The royals sold the land to F.O. Stanley, who codeveloped the Stanley Steamer and the Stanley Hotel. Richard and Linda V.G. Kelley detailed all this fascinating local history. Fast forward to 1956 when Thady Dunraven, the seventh Earl of Dunraven, contracted polio during the County Cork epidemic and spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. He went on to join the Wheelchair Association, campaigning for The Countess of Dunraven and Doug Tisdale more public access for the disabled. There were a wide range of society staples who sang “Oh, Danny Boy,” along with Denver Auditor Dennis Gallagher just after Tisdale made his formal declaration. Among those personally invited to the private party were Sherrye Berger, Marilyn and Pete Coors, Nancy Petry, Barry and Arlene Hirschfeld, Wanda and Larry Fanning, Linda and Jimmy Yip, Sandy Wolf, Sandy Vinnik, Lucile and Harry Trueblood, Mikkei and Catherine Saks, Bob and Judy Newman, Trygve Myhren, Merry and John Low, Kathy and Stuart Zimmerman, Bob and Gerri Sweeney, Mort and Edie Marks, Ellen Premack, Bonnie and Dr. Jason Sutherland, and John Meissner. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Center for the Blind became world-renown for innovative teaching techniques
Center graduate Johnnie Jean Duran checks out a recently unveiled Braille-equipped 12-foot tactile on Colorado geography that was created by artist and longtime instructor Ann Cunningham.
Julie Deden has served as executive director of Littleton’s Colorado Center for the Blind for more than half of its 25 years.
Continued from Page 1 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 students 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.”
ABOVE: 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. Photos by Peter Jones LEFT: Student Michelle Yang cooks up some bratwurst for the Sept. 13 celebration of the Colorado Center for the Blind’s 25th anniversary.
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, but 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.”

Kaiser Permanente completes construction on new multi-specialty center Lone Tree facility to open in December Submitted by Kaiser Kaiser Permanente Colorado, the state’s largest nonprofit health plan, has completed major construction on its new multi-specialty center in Lone Tree. Located at 10240 Park Meadows Drive (across the street from the RTD Lincoln Light Rail station and northwest of Interstate 25 and East Lincoln Avenue) the center will open to Kaiser Permanente members on Dec. 2. As Kaiser Permanente’s 27th medical office in Colorado, the Lone Tree multi-specialty center will provide members with convenient access to a variety of specialty services under one roof. The 275,000 squarefoot building features six floors. Over the next two months, equipment, furniture and information systems will be installed in the center prior to staff occupying the building in October. Approximately 300 Kaiser Permanente employees will staff the center, of which 130 positions will be new hires. “Kaiser Permanente is committed to achieving the best health out-
The new Kaiser Permanente Colorado multi-specialty center in Lone Tree is expected to open Dec. 2. comes for our members, which depends on our ability to provide broad access to high quality, affordable care close to home,” said Donna Lynne, DrPH, president, Kaiser Permanente Colorado. “Our Lone Tree multi-specialty center marks an important expansion of Kaiser Permanente’s footprint in South Denver. We believe our current and future members are going to love this new center.” The Lone Tree multi-specialty center is being built through a phased development and will eventually encompass a 20-acre integrated health campus. Kaiser Permanente members will be able to access the following specialty services upon the center’s grand opening in December.
“When a major facility like this opens up in a community it creates a lot of quality, high paying jobs, so it’s pure economic development. Our community is really celebrating this,” said John Brackney, president and CEO of the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. “Welcome Kaiser Permanente to our community.” The multi-specialty center has been constructed under the United States Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system. The rigorous certification process awards points for features such as site sustainability, water and energy use, materials and resources and indoor air quality.

Veterans Passport To Hope launches free resource portal Veterans now have unprecedented access to services, organizations, and resources throughout Colorado. In addition to raising awareness about the issues veterans are facing upon returning from the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan, Veterans Passport To Hope recently unveiled the Colorado Resource Portal For Veterans – www.VeteransResourcePortal.com – that brings veteran friendly organizations to the fingertips of veterans and their families. Veterans Passport To Hope believes that it is the responsibility of all Americans to participate in assisting the men and women who have returned home from multiple war zones over the past twelve years and are doing more than their part. Thousands of hours networking with organizations have led to the most comprehensive and detailed list of resources ever assembled; something that has never existed before in Colorado. From activities and community to mental and physical health, the Colorado Resource Portal For Veterans addresses eleven key categories of available resources. Veterans Passport To Hope has also published a brochure of these resources, which has been distributed throughout the Colorado community. The brochure has helped both veterans and veteran service officers identify appropriate organizations for transition and reintegration to the civilian world. Most importantly, the brochures and Resource Portal assist friends and family members who are looking to turn somewhere for help regarding the veteran in their life.
St. Mary’s Academy raises $50,000 at 10th annual golf tourney By Tom Barry On Sept. 16, supporters, alumni and staff spent the day at Columbine Country Club for a fundraising event. It was the first day since early last week without any rain. The world-class golf course in Columbine Valley hosted the 1967 PGA Championship in which Don January won the coveted title. The heavily wooded course with mature trees and homes surrounding the 18-hole course proved a challenge to golfers attending the 10th Annual Graham Family Golf Tournament. Jim and Darlene Graham were title sponsors of the event, along with their daughter Rachel a 2005 graduate of St. Mary’s Academy. As a result of the excessive rain, players were not allowed to use carts and rolling bags, as they had to lug there bags over the somewhat soggy course. Jackie Neal, a staff member in the school’s advancement department, said the golfers had a shotgun start at 11 a.m. and noted that around noon the weather was quite humid and muggy and some of the players wilted in the afternoon heat. One of the big draws for the event, in addition to supporting the school, was the $100,000 shootout on the 18th hole, which was covered by a special insurance policy for the event. Scott Newman, who has a third grader at the lower school, lined up his shot on the 18th hole after 5 p.m. in front of fellow golf-

As everyone watched, Newman’s ball hit the pin, as there was excitement in the air until it bounced off and his friends Jim Burton and Gary Schlatter began joking with him. This Greenwood Village resident took the missed putt in stride and then went into the clubhouse to enjoy the catered dinner, door prizes and beverages. Michael and Suzanne Shaw donated a sparkling new Subaru Outback from the dealership bearing their family name for the first player who had a hole-in-one on the 10th hole. The car went back to the dealership, as none of the players sunk the ball into the cup. The SMA program for the event cleverly shared a memo-
rable quote, “I know I am getting better at golf because I’m hitting fewer spectators,” said former President Gerald Ford. The event attracted 79 golfers that made up a variety of foursomes playing the 18-hole course. “Today we raised over $50,000 for St. Mary’s Academy at the annual Graham Family Tournament,” said Charlie Arbogast, the school’s director of advancement. “The money raised will go to fund technology enhancements and the school’s endowment for performing arts. “This tournament is special because it brings together a mix of dads, moms and people from the community that engage in golf while supporting St. Mary’s Academy.”
“It’s is a great balance of academics and values,” said John Mancini, who along with his wife Mary Sintek of Frontier Incentives, was one of the 13 hole sponsors. Their daughter Jordana, 17, is a senior at SMA and has attended SMA since she was a young child. “We like that the school focuses on the Sister of Loretto’s philosophy of faith, community, justice and respect,” Mancini said. The Sisters of Loretto founded the school nearly 150 years ago. This venerable Cherry Hills private academy provides a co-ed education to children from preK through middle school with around 250 students. The college preparatory high school for girls has about 225 students.

In order to ensure successful transition and healthy lives, it will take more than the V.A. It is going to take entire communities throughout the United States, coming together, creating resources, volunteering, and placing veteran needs as a priority. Colorado has been very successful in this regard. That’s why we’ve created the Veteran’s Resource Portal; to bring these resources to veterans and their families,” said Shane Schmutz, executive director Veterans Passport To Hope. These are tough times for our veteran community. Together we can make a difference by ensuring our veteran community not only has every opportunity (which they have earned through years of service to their country) afforded to them, but also access to the necessary resources to continue their mission towards a successful transition into civilian life.

On Sept. 14 while much of the rest of the metro area was still wallowing in torrential – and seemingly endless – rainfall, Historic Downtown Littleton was spared. Although the same weekend’s Golf Cart Drive-In Movie scheduled for the night before at the Reinke Bros, parking lot was cancelled, the Bacon Party saw only moments of fleeting sprinkles, much to the collective relief of the sponsoring Rotary Club of Littleton.

The Fiat 500 L is priced around $20,000.
Dodge RAM 1500 ST hauls a big load
Fiat 500 L has powerful performance By H. Throttle The Fiat 500 L resembles a large black box in design, somewhat old fashioned in appearance, but dynamite in comfort and space. The driver’s head has great room overhead for a western Stetson if needed. This new Fiat is fun, fun, fun, and very high performance from the turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine that produces great acceleration and highway speeds. While small in size, this baby can run with the best of the cars on the freeway and has the stability and road savvy of cars twice the price of $20,000. The test of any car is would you buy the vehicle and put in your own garage? This Fiat is a keeper and what a bargain in price and quality. Fiat is now in the process of purchasing more of Chrysler ownership, if not all, and will
have a strong influence in the U.S. automotive market and the world where the Italian automaker is headquartered in Italy and the United States. Purchasing Chrysler is making a huge investment in the American marketplace where the Jeep brand is one of the strongest lines. The 500 L is slightly larger than the standard model and as a result has great passenger legroom in the back seat and fold down rear seats to allow for hauling a 52-inch television screen back from Costco.

The Dodge RAM 1500 ST sells for $35,675.
By H. Throttle Pickups are a man’s best friend along with his dog to ride in the back. The new RAM 1500 ST is a best selling 4x4 crew cab selling for $35,675. The 3.6-liter V-6 is spunky, but I would opt for the Dodge Hemi V8. However, with rising fuel prices, smaller motors burn less gasoline or diesel. The surprise with the Dodge RAM was the dial transmission with a knob on the dashboard serving as the gearshift. One gear does it all, but fortunately
Dodge engineers installed a push button transmission that allows for eight gear ratios within the confines of the steering wheel. Ride was comfortable and steering precise, there is just something comfortable about driving down the freeway in a brand new powerful pickup truck. “Ram Tough” is the slogan and no doubt this pickup lives up to its name. Average fuel economy is around 19 mpg, which isn’t bad for the heavier vehicles.
This 4x4 can haul a load of materials and at least five passengers to a construction site or out to the hay field or heavy equipment site. Dodge puts fiveyear/100,000-mile warranty on the drive train that is quite good for a hard working pickup. A good line-up of local dealers sell and service Dodge products that include Chrysler and Jeep lines. Made in Detroit – this is an American product.

Littleton Public School News Three LPS seniors earn perfect ACT scores
Arapahoe High senior Joseph Redmond, and Heritage High seniors Marc Thomson and Erik Gentile earned perfect scores of 36 on the 2013 American College Test or ACT. According to ACT, their achievement is significant and rare. On average, less than one tenth of 1 percent of all test takers earned the top score. The ACT national college admissions and placement exam tests students in areas of English, mathematics, reading, sci-

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
A
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.
Eyrie – a 67-room Tudor-style castle 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 Southwestern 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 prop-

erty 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 secretarytreasurer 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.

Town Hall welcomes ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’ By Rosemary Fetter The Littleton Town Hall Arts Center kicked off the new season with the riotous musical, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, based on the 1988 film starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin. The plot centers around two con men who meet on the French Riviera. The sophisticated Lawrence Jameson (Keegan Flaugh) is in the process of bilking wealthy women while posing as recently deposed royalty from a nebulous country. His admirer Freddie (Tim Howard), a loud, crass American with rough edges, would also be king if he could figure out how. After Freddie rescues Lawrence from a rambunctious and well-armed Oklahoma heiress with marriage in mind, the two join forces to con a wealthy but naive soap heiress, Christine Colgate, played by Rachelle Wood. A competition ensues
between the men, with hilarious results. Although Dirty Rotten Scoundrels may be a bit frisky for a Town Hall Arts production, the cast does a credible job. Flaughn is perfect as the fastidious Lawrence, reminiscent of John Lithgow, who starred in the 2005 Broadway production. Howard puts a lot of energy into Freddie, although he could probably tone it down a notch. Wood plays a credible Christine, while Margie Lamb does her usual superb job in the role of Muriel, one of Lawrence’s many admirers. She and Brian Murray (Andre, Lawrence’s cohort in crime) keep the audience laughing with a romantic subplot. Directed by and choreographed by Nick Sugar, the production itself is a treat. The Littleton Town Hall always accomplishes a lot in a relatively small space and the stage never seems crowded,
even during lively dance numbers. This particular show left audiences with a chuckle and a melody as they exited the theater with umbrellas in tow – a bit of sunshine on a rainy Sunday.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Through Oct. 13, The Littleton Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Littleton. Thursdays – Saturdays, 7:30 p.m., Oct. 6, 6:30 p.m.; Sundays 2 p.m. and Sept. 28 Tickets: www.townhallartscenter.org or 303-994-2787 ext. 5 (Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. – noon, noon – 4 p.m. and one hour prior to shows.) $10 value seats available on a firstcome-first served basis one hour before published showtime.

Arapahoe High School junior Mickey Liebrecht has received the 2013 VSA (Very Special Arts) Playwright Discovery Award from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. Liebrecht was one of nine high school students who were selected for the prestigious honor. The competition invites middle and high school students to take a closer look at the world around them, examine how disability affects their lives and the lives of others, and express their views through the art of scriptwriting. Writers may write from their own experience and observations or create fictional characters and settings. Liebrecht’s play Broken Bodies was her submission to the contest. Selected excerpts were performed by professional actors on the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage. Liebrecht had the opportunity to work with a group of theater professionals for a weekend of coaching, mentoring and col-
