The famous Haunted House Mansion in downtown Littleton will open Sept. 28 with a 50-year history from Reinke Brothers. The mansion is located at 5663 S. Prince St. in the heart of the Littleton downtown business district. Greg Reinke tells how he and his brother Chris started exploring the haunted house world 50 years ago setting up a haunted house in the family basement using their father’s toolbox as a coffin. He said they had 26 customers that paid a penny to tour the haunted house in the basement starting their career. Today the store spans half a city block with a large parking lot. The store holds more than 10,000 costumes for sale or rent and thousands of haunting memorabilia, souvenirs and just spooky inventory. The Haunted House Mansion will open Sept. 28 and Reinke expects thousands of visitors to the mansion during October. More photos on page 8.

Englewood’s Barrentine is ready to put the recall behind her Recall elections in a city like Englewood are unusual, and it was never entirely clear what motivated the organizers to recall Laurett Barrentine in the first place. She did, however, survived the recall by four percentage points.
Behind the recall were former Englewood mayors Randy Penn (2011-2015) and Jim Woodward (2007-2011) and pointed to what they saw as personality traits of Barrentine that made it difficult for others to work with her. In contrast, she believed that they were trying to keep her
from digging into the relationship between the city and two related entities, the Englewood Environmental Foundation (EEF) and the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation (EMRF). The EEF is a nonprofit Colorado corporation created in 1997 to own the Englewood Civic Center, which houses city
government. A fact sheet from 2014 on Englewood’s website says, “In 1999, Englewood City Council established the Englewood McLellan Reservoir Foundation (EMRF) to oversee the development of the property, to enhance and diversify the city’s longterm revenues, and to protect
the water supply in and around McLellan Reservoir.” Committed to transparency, Englewood’s city council maintains a portal on its website that allows anyone to watch city council meetings and study sessions live and on video anytime. Continued on page 3

Putting recall behind her Continued from Page 1
Thus, voters had, and continue to have, the opportunity to see and hear Barrentine performing her duties with other council members, and judge for themselves. When the dust settled Sept. 18, Barrentine was still the city council representative for Englewood’s district 3. Though her (unofficial) winning margin was only 52 percent to 48 percent, out of 1,422 votes cast, she received more votes than she got when she was first elected in 2015 in a three-person race. That was enough for Barrentine to say she’s ready to put it behind her and move on to do the job she was elected to do. She said, “It was always about the issues. I never intended to embarrass previous administrations.” Barrentine’s questions about the relationship between the city and EEF and EMRF have been simmering for over two years and were reported in this newspaper by the Villager’s Peter Jones March 24, 2016. Though an investigation was performed back then by the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, at the request of city manager Erik Keck, who publicly resigned at a city council meeting earlier this month, the focus of that investigation was to determine if sufficient evidence existed to bring prosecutable charges for criminal behavior that was within the statute of limitations. No such evidence was found. Barrentine still wants a forensic audit performed, “where you give specific instructions as to what you’re looking for.” She was asked if she thought the neighborhood website Next Door played a role in the recall effort. Barrentine believed it was used to spread “lies, mud-slinging one-liners and name-calling.” She added that the people designated as “leads” for the sight, monitored it very inconsistently, and according to their personal preferences. A common complaint heard in other cities around the metro area. She said that although she was tempted to respond to some of the ugly lies that

were freely allowed to be posted on Next Door, she never did and would not do so. Barrentine said she thought it was good that so many people participated in the recall election because it showed that they cared about their city, and she was especially, “impressed with my supporters because they hold me accountable.” The councilwoman closed by telling The Villager that her plan is to, “move on and do the job I was elected to do. I was honest about the issues then and now.” fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

CCSD reaches settlement with victims of Vasquez
The Cherry Creek School District has entered into a settlement agreement with the victims of Brian Vasquez, former teacher at Prairie Middle School, for the amount of $11.5 million. The parties are releasing the following joint statement: “We acknowledge that no amount of money can right the wrongs committed against these students by Vasquez. No student should ever suffer the injury and loss of innocence that these young

women suffered as a result of the reprehensible actions of
Vasquez. The district is committed to doing right by these young women and their families and hopes this settlement brings some degree of closure so that they can move on with their lives and continue the healing process.” Vasquez plead guilting July 9 to three counts of sexual assault and exploitation of his current or former female students. He had been charged with 37 counts relating to acts allegedly committed over five years.
Arson suspect turns himself in SUBMITTED BY THE ENGLEWOOD POLICE DEPT.
On Sept. 21, Englewood Police responded to the 2900 block of S. Fox Street on report of a menacing at a residence. As police arrived, they noticed smoke coming from a structure behind the residence and requested the fire department. Police learned that a suspect entered a house and threatened a male. The resi-
dents fled and called 911. The suspect left the house and is suspected of starting the fire behind the home. Moments later, the suspect threatened a different male in an apartment complex about a block away. Gerrick Wood, 26, turned himself in later that day and is charged with first degree burglary, first degree arson, aggravated robbery, and other charges.

Enjoy being an American My dog died recently, and I miss walking the little furry creature around the block. The time spent with Cleo gave me moments to think and ponder about what is important in this world. There are a lot of good things happening among the people. Forget the television drama that swirls around the Washington, D.C. political world that changes from hour to hour crisis to crisis, and fact to fiction. What I see are local people going to work, great neighbors working in their yards, many dog walkers, and local government officials doing their best to keep local services flowing that include, water, street maintenance, security and public safety. The fall weather has been fantastic, the aspen trees turning to Colorado gold
and the flowers having a last glance at warm temperatures, sure to change in just a few weeks. For all of us that like sports, it is a smorgasbord of games to watch. We can hold our breath as the Broncos start another exciting season. Cheer the Rockies few remaining games and a chance to enter baseball World Series competition. We can watch Tiger Woods amazing come back from lowly depths to win the FedEx golf championship and regain his No. 1 world ranking position. This is a comeback story for the ages and a lesson for all in never giving up and regaining mental and physical discipline in life’s ongoing challenges. The generosity of our Denver area citizens is amazing with countless nonprofits benefiting from charitable events.
Barbwire Bob What a sport’s Sunday with Tiger Woods winning the FedEx Golf Championship and returning to No. 1 in the golf world. What an admirable come back both mentally and physically for him. Golf fans stormed the 18th green as he finished two-strokes ahead to win the grand prize championship, his 80th tournament win. *** There appears to be some hope for the Broncos, the officiating was terrible, so the team had to beat the refs and the Ravens. Bronco Rookie Phillip Lindsey got tossed out of the game after piling on and may have learned a hard lesson. It was hard to see the Broncos running the ball in the last quarter, trailing by two scores. That smacks of
Individuals, small-business owners, and corporations give millions of dollars to local nonprofits who serve the disadvantages and those suffering from mental, physical an emotional stress and poverty. We’re taking care of our veterans, blind children, homeless people provided clothing, food and shelters. Hospitals donating millions to indigent patients who cannot pay, but still receive treatment. Lastly, our schools and teachers are the backbone of our society and they are rearing and educating the next generation of Americans. These kids may lack knowledge of history, but they do know science and their computer skills are vastly beyond our older generation talents. What I’m relating today is that I’m proud to be an American, thankful to live here in Colorado, am anxious to rise every morning to face new challenges and enjoy freedoms that we all must protect. Enjoy being an American.

some of last year’s debacle offensive play calling. Way too many penalties deserved or not, but that is part of the game but way one-sided Sunday. While dismaying there is some light at the end of the team tunnel and the team does appear to be improving. However, they have a long way to go and the pass defense is still very lacking. *** At this point, the Rockies have lost three straight games to the Dodgers but have bounced back sweeping the arch-foe Arizona Diamondbacks. In this closing week, anything is possible, and the Rockies are fun to watch, and baseball fans are holding their breath with each passing game. Go Rockies!

Opinion
September 27, 2018 • THE VILLAGER | PAGE 5
A dilemma for senate leadership With less than 30 days before the midterm elections, the Republican leadership in the U.S. Senate is facing several critical decisions. Paramount among those issues is the accusation by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford that Judge Brett K. Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party when she was 15 years old. Recent polls indicate that
Kavanaugh since the sexual assault accusation came to light, shows that support of his confirmation has dropped by 9 percent overall and among suburban women, it dropped 11 percent. The Senate Judiciary Committee’s early reluctance to accommodate Ford’s request to grant more time to prepare her testimony did not bode well with women
or Democrat members of the committee. The comments by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to push through Kavanaugh’s confirmation as soon as the judiciary committee hearings are over has given the impression to many who oppose the judge’s confirmation that the hearing Thursday is not relevant to the nomination process. This position has already been buttressed by comments
by several Republican senators who have already expressed their support for Kavanaugh despite the sexual assault allegations. With the growing negative polling on the fitness of Kavanaugh’s character and the increasing influence and success of the #MeToo movement, many Republican senators are facing challenges to their reelection campaigns as more Republican women watch with interest in the upcoming hearing.
Hurricanes, global warming and settled science Fall is upon us with changing leaves, kneeling NFL players, and hurricanes. At the time of this writing, Hurricane Florence is barreling toward the Carolina coast, ready to deliver of a whopper of a storm. A few days ago, no one knew where it was headed. Computer models predicted numerous potential trajectories, from Florida to anywhere along the Eastern Seaboard, or even harmlessly out to sea. These “spaghetti line” plots demonstrate the uncertainty of predicting weather even a week ahead. Yet climate models are relied upon as settled science, predicting temperatures decades or centuries into the future. Al Gore in 2005 told us that, “The science is extremely clear now that warmer oceans make the average hurricane stronger.” Scientific American at that time predicted Category 6 storms, off the measurement scale and something the world has never seen. All due to global warming, or so they claim. What does the actual data say? A reliable source for hurricane data is a compilation from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration from the past 150 years. In the 2000s decade, the time of Gore’s prophesy, 19 hurricanes impacted the continental U.S., all Category 1 to 3 except Charley in 2004, a Category 4 hurricane. Four years in that decade saw no hurricanes at all. The 2010s decade, not yet over, brought us nine hurricanes with three years of no hurricanes. Last year we had two Category 4 storms, Harvey and Irma. The rest were only Category 1 or 2. Let’s go back to the 1850s before global warming was an issue. That decade saw 16 hurricanes, at least one each year including a Category 4 storm in 1856. The 1880s brought 25 hurricanes, with one Category 4 storm. In the 1910s we had 21 hurricanes, three of which were Category 4. Then in the 1940s, we had 23 hurricanes, four of them Category 4. Gore’s predictions could have been made in any of those decades and been considered correct. All long before global warming was a political cause. But compared to past decades, we are having fewer and perhaps less powerful storms. Certainly, not the barrage of super storms
predicted at the time of Gore’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth. The real inconvenient truth lies in the incredible complexity of weather and climate, too many variables and unpredictability, such that computer models can’t provide accurate forecasts beyond a few days. Yet BY BRIAN C. JOONDEPH
these same models are predicting temperatures decades into the future. Large sums of money are being directed toward solving problems which may not even exist, or if they do, may not be solvable. Humans can control many things, but weather and climate are not among them. Dollars spent on feel-good measures, through the Paris
Climate Accords or the Kyoto Protocol, are dollars not spent on other measures having a more profound effect on human life, from disease prevention to combating terrorism. As hurricane season continues, expect luminaries from Hollywood and the media, who know little about science, to be lecturing us about the dangers of global warming. Many will be
Remember that the #MeToo movement is all too happy to add to their list of prominent senators, congressmen, and senior executives who have found themselves on the street without a job because of sexual assaults or abuse. If these allegations are proven true, Kavanaugh should not be confirmed. We expect those who serve on the Supreme Court to be of a strong moral character, interpret the United States Constitution without prejudice and act in the best interest of all Americans. flying around the world on their high carbon footprint jets, or sitting comfortably in their airconditioned mansions, admonishing the hoi polloi how to live and save the planet. Take their preaching with a grain of salt and pray for the safety of those in harm’s way from the latest hurricane, a weather phenomenon far older than the industrial revolution or the internal combustion engine.

Cultivating creativity in the workplace The hidden strategy you need
What’s the leading quality that top leaders look for in job candidates? An entrepreneurial spirit, stewardship, adaptability, grit? Despite what you may have heard, leaders believe that creativity will be the third most important work skill by 2020. That’s correct - artistry lands in the top spot according to CEOs; they are seeking out individuals that can develop imaginative, innovative ideas and turn them into hard reality. The benefits of being creative at work are multifarious. For starters, promoting imaginative thinking at work oftentimes removes the oh-so-present fear of failing. Take a common task in the workplace, such as brainstorming new product ideas. To do this successfully, you must remove the barri-
ers, be receptive to out-of-the-box concepts, and stop closing yourself off to fresh solutions- both your own, and others. When you accept that the space is creative and no idea is a bad idea, the fear of failing diminishes. Your mind opens and you can truly embrace the freedom of failing - after all, it’s just creative, offthe-wall, thinking. And, on that note, failure that occurs in the search of unprecedented ideas should be celebrated. It’s how businesses grow, learn and develop. Additionally, when you work together to muster up new ideas, it generates a close-knit community with co-workers, leading to better teamwork. Workplace engagement and interaction rises. Problemsolving doesn’t seem quite as daunting as it once was. Productivity accelerates because you are
leveraging and harnessing creative abilities of not just one, but numerous, people. Passion seeps through the pores of your business and collaboration is organically conceived. Kate Goodman, Ph.D., assis-
tant professor at the University of Colorado Denver, notes that if an organization is looking to change, adapt, and improve, it is absolutely essential to explore new ideas in a creative climate. “It sounds obvious, but sometimes we forget that the first idea is rarely the best one ‌ To get
the best ideas to come out, be discussed and explored, and sometimes, for multiple ideas to be developed to some extent, you must have a creative culture� Goodman says. What kind of environment is the most conducive to feeding the creative beast? Goodman states that teams where trust is high is the most potent. She notes that a trusted, creative atmosphere “leaves open the possibility of doing something in a new way, and it energizes teams.� When teams are not rewarded as a group, but only as an individual, they oftentimes stop sharing ideas and this kills off creativity. She notes that competition isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but the team needs to view the “opponent� as another company or entity, not one another. “Research suggests that cre-
ativity only grows when we use it ‌ You should allow your teams to come up with both a ‘proven winner’ and an ‘off-the-wall’ solution for more typical tasks,â€? Goodman says. Later, they will be better able to come up with a new, innovative solution when it is needed the most because they’ll have practiced working creatively as a team. Developing new solutions at work is a challenge for all of us. Are you noticing the “because we have always done it that wayâ€? monster has been rearing its tired head far too often? If so, Goodman will be delivering a seminar on how to spark creativity in the workplace on Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. at the University of Colorado South Denver.

Why investors want to invest in multigenerational startups
BY CHRISTA WARD 4GENNOW SENIOR RESEARCHER
Finding investors to support any startup can be a challenge. Multigenerational startups are catching the eye of investors, but the road to funding can be confusing and challenging for the new startup. For this week’s post, we ask Peter Adams, Managing Director, Rockies Venture Fund, to give us his insights on why investors want to pursue multigenerational startups and how you can make sure your startup is ready.
4GenNow: Why do you believe investors want to work with multigenerational startups now?
Now, more than ever, investors are interested in multigenerational teams because they are demanding so much of startups. Companies need to have industry connections, understand channel development, be up- to-date on the latest technologies used in app development, know how to use social media and advanced marketing tools to track customer interactions, know how to scale a company, understand data, understand values and leadership, know how to build value and make relationships with large potential acquirers. This is a long list and there’s more. It’s unlikely that a mono-generational team is going to bring all of these characteristics to the game and being able to do it all at once at remarkable speed is what investors are looking for.
4GenNow: Based on your experience, are there certain
industries that attract more interest from investors than others?
Kool-Aid and go too far in the wrong direction before you find Product Market Fit.
Venture capital investors are looking for companies that can grow fast, scale up and be acquired within a 3-5 year period while returning ten times the investment to investors. There is a narrow intersection of maybe 1% of all businesses that fill this description and they tend to be in mobile, internet, software, IoT, AI, general tech, healthcare, medical device, diagnostics and digital healthcare applications. Other disruptive business models fit the bill, though most are going to be tech enabled in some way.
4GenNow: What three things can multigenerational startups do to make themselves attractive to investors?
HAVE A CLEAR PATH TO EXIT DEFINED FOR YOUR COMPANY FROM DAY ONE. (This is the second of the Seven Habits of Highly Successful People - “Begin with the end in mind.) Most first time entrepreneurs don’t understand the importance or mechanics of the exit and thus they fail to create as much value as experienced founders. UNDERSTAND YOUR CUSTOMER. Multigenerational startups have an edge in understanding their customer because they come from multiple perspectives. Make sure though, your perspectives match real customer needs and you don’t end up just drinking your own
PRICE YOUR INVESTMENT ROUND REALISTICALLY. There are some crazy valuations coming out of startups with zero traction in Silicon Valley and few of these companies are actually raising funding. Gather data about what average valuations are in your area and price your deal attractively because investors are looking at a hundred deals or more for every one they write a check for. You are up against serious competition and investors like a deal.
4GenNow: Do you think some multigenerational entrepreneurs are apprehensive about approaching investors and what advice would you give them?
Many entrepreneurs of all kinds are apprehensive about approaching investors for a variety of reasons including the need to move quickly towards exit, a loss of control and being fired from the company. In fact, research by former Harvard Business School professor Noam Wasserman reveals by the time startups are three years old, 50 percent of founders are no longer CEOs and by the IPO, fewer than 25 percent still lead their company. In every case I have been involved with, founders have been the ones to suggest a change in CEOs and the founder often takes a COO or CTO role. In other cases, the founder is actually
4GenNow: We see a lot of people investing in tech startups. What advice would you give to multigenerational startups if they have an idea that isn’t tech related?
Tech is popular with investors because it naturally lends itself to scale quickly without huge amounts of capital for inventory or complications of working with a supply chain that can be unpredictable. But not all startups need to be tech focused to interest investors. For example, there is a lively group of investors who are backing companies in the natural food and beverage space. Large brands are playing catch-up with consum-
er demands for fresher, healthier foods and they are doing that by acquiring startups that develop successful brands. The Annie’s acquisition by General Mills for $820 million is a good example of that. $820 million is a lot of macaroni and cheese! Other VCs are investing in health and beauty, retail, sports equipment and more, so founders should not feel limited to tech only solutions. The main thing for founders to remember is that VCs tend to specialize in just one or a few areas, so it would be a mistake to approach a tech investor with a natural food product company and vice versa. Do your homework on the investor and study their fund thesis and look at what other companies they have invested in to see if your company is a fit.
4GenNow: Multigenerational entrepreneurs provide a unique perspective in the startup world. In what ways, if any, should these co-founders demonstrate their generational advantages to investors?
The place to tout your multigenerational advantage to investors is in the team slide and how you present it during the pitch. I wouldn’t specifically call out the fact that you’re a multigenerational team, but I would call out the specific strengths of the individuals that come from their position. The more you can do this in a way that it shows you have all the bases covered, the better.

forced out of the company. There are many reasons for this, but the main reasons would be a failure to execute or to scale the company. A multigenerational team is more likely to be successful in scaling and executing than others because they bring experience about the qualitative and quantitative changes that need to happen in rapidly scaling companies (assuming that the senior members of the team actually have experience in this and are not just older). They also are more likely to have closer connections to the markets and may be more tapped into their markets by virtue of having multiple perspectives. If this is the case, then the multigenerational team is less likely to need to be replaced as the company scales and multigenerational startups need not have so much apprehension as an inexperienced first-time CEO might.

This amendment is supported by all past living governors and creates a balanced and independent commission for future redistricting of Colorado and the addition of an eight congressional district in 2022. Bottom line is that Amendment Y & Z proposes four Republicans, four Democrats, and four unaffiliated to redistrict state and congressional election districts. This is a popular amendment and with the polarization of today’s political parties, adding the unaffiliated members is a method of adding fairness and also reaching agreements. It does make the unaffiliated board members very influen-

A magnificent audience of supporters of the Anchor Center were on hand for the auctions and programs and fabulously decorated tables and gourmet dinner. As a member of the Denver Lions Club, I go way back in time to the Anchor Center when it was located on the Clayton School campus in Northwest Denver before the new facility opening near the
old Stapleton Airport. Lions deal with the blind and hearing challenges. On one occasion, visiting at the school, I witnessed a blind couple walking into the school with a blind child.

CDOT commission approves resolution in support of Proposition #110 Proposition proposes 0.62 percent sales tax increase to support transportation funding The Colorado Transportation Commission approved a resolution recently to support Proposition #110, which would provide an estimated $18 billion in funding for state highways, city and county, transit, bicycle and pedestrian transportation projects around the state. “Colorado faces significant transportation funding challenges now and in the future as a result of the declining purchasing power of a flat gas tax, rising construction costs, and increasing demands on existing transportation infrastructure,” stated Transportation Commission chair Shannon Gifford of Denver. “Simply put future expansion projects are limited by rising maintenance costs and preservation needs.” Proposition #110 has been placed on the ballot and if approved by the people of Colorado would increase the state sales tax by 0.62 percent for 20 years and dedicate those funds to state highways, local and multimodal transportation options across Colorado. In July, the transportation commission, with the collaboration of local officials on the Statewide Transportation Committee, approved a list of
projects across the state such as I-70 Mountain Floyd Hill, the U.S. 287 Lamar Reliever to move trucks around the town, and improvements to CO 13 north of Rifle. The funds would also support several statewide programs, including Fiber and Technology; ADA Sidewalks and Bicycle/Pedestrian; Safety Shoulders, Rest Area Restoration, Small Freight and Truck Parking, and Wildlife Crash Mitigation; and a Pavement Improvement Program if Proposition #110 is approved by voters. The commission also approved a separate resolution pointing out that the projects identified in a Proposition #109 are to cost about $5.6 billion, exceeding the $3.5 billion in funding allocated. They also noted that if Proposition #109 is passed, it replaces $1.5 billion of existing
state funding resulting in a total net increase of $2 billion. Lastly, they noted that the projects identified would need to be reassessed as to whether the project could be built, or scope changed should the people of Colorado approve Proposition #109. “We have over $20 billion in identified unfunded strategy highway transportation needs in the next 20 years, and in El Paso county, state highways alone need $2.4 billion,” said commissioner Rocky Scott, Colorado Springs, Colorado. “Mobility matters, the economy matters, there are lives at stake and the need is great. While it is easy to be timid about raising taxes, it’s important to know what are taxes for, to serve the people. In my view we are obligated to serve the people’s transportation needs by supporting Proposition #110.”

Middle-class Colorado kid now DA for 1 million Coloradans The right experience and real solutions to protect, defend and be a guardian for Colorado SUBMITTED BY BRAUCHLER CAMPAIGN
Now, more than ever, Colorado needs a proven fighter who will stand up to Washington, D.C. and keep state government on the straight and narrow. George Brauchler is that proven fighter. He currently serves as the district attorney in Colorado’s 18th Judicial District – which includes Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, the most populous judicial district in the state, with more than 1 million Colorado residents. Brauchler oversaw the internal investigation of law enforcement officers who killed the suspect who murdered Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachery Parrish on New Year’s Eve 2017. He has handled some of the largest

cases in Colorado’s history, including prosecuting the Aurora Theater shooting and Columbine High School tragedy, and conducted trials in municipal, state, Federal, and military courts. He grew up seeing his mom, one of the chief investigators for the Office of Civil Rights, fight for those

who were being persecuted or unjustly treated. He saw firsthand how rewarding public service and fighting for things in which you believe were not only individually rewarding but indispensable to America. Coming from a middleclass family from Lakewood, Brauchler helped pay for college by earning an Army ROTC scholarship, which he used up the road at the University of Colorado. George earned a degree in economics, a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army and returned to CU to earn a law degree. He cut classes in law school to conduct trials as an intern at the First Judicial District DA’s Office in Golden. Nothing in the law school classroom came close to providing better preparation and experience for the practice of law than what he learned in the courtroom. “As attorney general for all of Colorado, George Brauchler will continue to be a guardian
of our state and a protector of all Coloradans by upholding and defending our laws and our Constitution,” says Stephen Schulz, president of the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police, Colorado’s largest law enforcement organization, representing several thousand law enforcement members across the state. He “will stand up to Washington, D.C. and reject the national trend to legislate through litigation and resist turning to the courts to judicially mandate outcomes that fail to achieve approval through our State Legislature or Congress. He will strengthen our criminal justice system and protect each and every Coloradan from the growing public safety threats that risk tearing families and communities apart,” continues Schultz. In the 24 years since his first jury trial, Brauchler has never stopped fighting for victims, defending communities and neighborhoods, and guarding
constitutional rights. He has been a prosecutor, a criminal defense attorney, a plaintiff’s attorney, a civil defense attorney, and a small-business owner. Brauchler has been mobilized twice since 9/11 and last served on active duty as the Chief of Military Justice for Fort Carson, and the Chief of Military Justice for Northern Iraq with the 4th Infantry Division, Taskforce Ironhorse. He continues to serve as an Army Colonel in the Colorado National Guard. The next attorney general for Colorado should be someone who can take on societal challenges and fight against injustice and stand up for the Rule of Law. Brauchler is the only candidate for Colorado Attorney General who has ever practiced Colorado law. Experience matters and Brauchler has the right experience and offers real solutions to fight for all Coloradans.

Democratic governor candidate Polis talks statewide issues with Aaron Harber as a sales-tax holiday for school supplies. Polis argued that both these ideas would take money away from schools by decreasing the state’s general fund revenues.
BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
Aaron Harber has been a fixture on the political talk scene in Denver for the past 25 years. He was once included in a national list of the 100 Most Important Talk Show Hosts, with personalities ranging from Rush Limbaugh to Howard Stern. Currently, he is the host and executive producer of The Aaron Harber Show, a nonpartisan, political TV talk show on KCDO-TV. Many of his interviews are also available on harbertv.com. Before U.S. Rep. Jared Polis took the stage for a one-hour fast-paced interview, Harber opened the program by answering the question on many reporters’ minds—will we hear from the Republican candidate for governor, Colorado State Treasurer Walker Stapleton? Harber shared that he had tried to schedule a similar interview with Stapleton but hadn’t been able to do so
Education
Harber opened by asking Polis what he thought was the most critical issue facing Colorado. Polis said, “Education is the key to future success as a state and nation. Oklahoma provides free pre-school and full-day kindergarten.” He wondered, why can’t a state with our resources provide it? Harber pointed to estimates of costs in the hundreds of millions of dollars and asked how Polis would pay for this new benefit. Polis talked about public-private partnerships, such as are being used presently in Westminster, and the savings realized by fewer students needing to repeat classes due to early childhood education. On the high cost of administration in some school districts,
LETTERS Mayors support Coffman
As the current and former mayors of Aurora, Centennial, Thornton and Brighton, all cities in the 6th Congressional District, we are proud to endorse Mike Coffman for re-election. He is, without a doubt, the hardest working public servant in Colorado and we greatly appreciate all that he does every day to represent us and our constituents, even when it means crossing his political party. That is why we are greatly bothered by the attack ads airing on TV that claim Mike Coffman is a Trump loyalist that votes with President Trump 96 percent of the time. It is simply not true and we believe the voters of the district deserve the truth. You’ve probably seen the ads – they’re hard to miss. Nancy Pelosi’s Super PACs are spending over $1 million a week attacking Mike! Mike Coffman has endured many untrue attacks during his tenure. The idea that Coffman votes with Trump 96 percent of the time is perhaps the most dishonest attack Coffman has ever faced.
Transportation
U.S. Rep. Jared Polis has served Colorado’s 2nd Congressional District since 2009 and is the Democratic candidate for governor of Colorado.

Polis said, “Local school districts make their own decisions, but the state can have some impact by requiring that increases in state funding are not used for administration.” He also talked about the need to ensure that high school students who aren’t planning to attend a four-year college have skills or vocational training so they are prepared for the job market. He named apprenticeship programs, certificates such as one for welding, and concurrent enrollment that produces college credits earned in high school as examples. He brought up high-interest rates charged for commercial student loans. He said, “I took on nationally the for-profit student loan industry that was charging usurious interest rates.” Asked how he differed from his opponent on the best way to address the needs of K-12 education in Colorado, Polis said that Republican gubernatorial candidate just released a policy that would provide a tax-free education savings account for parents to use for tutors, music lessons and pre-school, as well
This deceptive and outright false claim was built using cherrypicked votes that have absolutely nothing to do with Trump’s agenda or loyalty to this administration. It’s impossible to construe Mike’s votes on these issues as a loyalty test of Trump. Politicizing votes in support of our troops and in relief of the opioid crisis is a new low, even for Washington, D.C. Super PACs. Mike Coffman is our congressman, not Donald Trump’s congressman. He has repeatedly challenged this administration, and the last one too, when he disagrees with them. Here are just some of the times that Mike Coffman has opposed Trump: Family separation at the border – he led the fight against breaking up families; He opposed the health care bill because it didn’t protect pre-existing conditions; He voted against the Republican budget because it added a trillion dollars to the national debt; and he’s fighting against Trump’s proposed Space Force because it would balloon the bloated
Polis said that the average Coloradan loses $600 per year in productivity due to traffic congestion. He said, “An honest assessment of the cost of deferred road building and maintenance is probably $9 to $10 billion.” Harber asked him about the two transportation initiatives on the November ballot. Polis said that Proposition 109 doesn’t provide any flexibility for the state. It creates a multi-billion-dollar obligation to fund bonds without a dedicated revenue source, so if there is an economic downturn, money to repay the bonds will come from schools. He recommends a no vote on Proposition 109. Polis said that Proposition 110 is less harmful because it generates up to $10 billion in bonding potential and has a dedicated revenue source. Still, he pointedly did not say he supported the 0.62 percent sales tax increase. Without specifically mentioning the tax, he said he might do Proposition 110 differently.
Health Care
Polis said that providing health care for employees is too expensive for small-business owners. He named exorbitant costs, the lack of availability of services in some areas of the state, and high deductibles as culprits. Polis said he has a 100day plan to lessen the cost of health care in Colorado. He said, “Coloradans are getting ripped off. We are excited to embrace ways to save money and improve health care. We will listen to all ideas.”
Pentagon bureaucracy. He has been called one of the most bipartisan members of Congress. In an age of increasing partisanship and political rancor, Mike has stood out as someone seeking solutions rather than political food fights. And real solutions are what he has given us. He passed the most important mental health reform for veterans in a generation. Just last week he passed a bill supporting veterans who get caught up in our court systems. Mike does what he thinks is right, regardless of what his political party or Donald Trump think. Heidi Williams (Mayor of Thornton) Stephanie Piko (Mayor of Centennial) Bob LeGare (Mayor of Aurora) Jan Pawlowski (Former Mayor of Brighton) Randy Pye (Former Mayor of Centennial) Dick McLean (Former Mayor of Brighton)
Does Polis propose Medicare or Medicaid for all Americans? He said it is a national issue. At the state level, he said that we have to deal with the system. He wants to see transparency in pricing and find a way to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. He said, “Why should Americans pay five to seven times as much as Europeans for medicines?”
Opioids and marijuana
On the challenges of opioids and the marijuana industry, Polis said that 75 percent of opioid addiction starts with prescribed pain medicines. He said doctors need to consider alternatives, including acupuncture and even medical marijuana for pain management. He said that the Jefferson County Sheriff recently said that one-third of inmates have to go through detoxification from opioids when they enter prison. Marijuana provides millions of dollars in tax revenue in the state. Polis wants to help the industry find a way to use the banking system.
Affordable Housing
Harber asked Polis how a governor could lead on housing issues. Polis talked about homelessness as being a problem all over the state, not just in Denver. He attributes the problem to the high cost of housing and mental health issues that are accompanied by substance abuse. Polis said that “Everyone pays the cost of roads and poor air quality when people live far from their jobs.” He talked about a program in Summit County that created housing on a 40-acre tract, which he called, “Small A” affordable housing built specifically for middle-class teachers and other local employees, which should not be confused with low-income housing. He
Picture this
You and your family are having a great adventure in our beautiful Colorado mountains. While standing near the precipice of a stunning overlook, a photographer who is not from around here offers to “help” you take the picture. After getting the shot lined up, he suggests that the photo would look much better if you just took “a few steps back.” This is set back Proposition 112. Like that sinister photographer, outside interests and their local proxies have suggested that our state would look much better if our oil and gas businesses, employees and families were to take a few steps back and fall out of the picture. Proposition 112 would effectively push oil and gas development out of Colorado by increasing the minimum setback for new drilling wells to a distance that makes drilling impossible. A 2018 Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission study concluded that 94 percent of non-federal
said that even though residential zoning decisions are made by city councils and county commissioners, the governor can lead on this issue.
Agriculture
Harber pointed out that 85 percent of all water use in the state is for agriculture. Polis noted that the current governor has initiated a plan to conserve water and that farmers need to be incentivized to conserve. He also said new development should use the latest technology available to minimize water usage. Polis said that farmers’ challenges include low prices, regulation and trade wars. He hoped to find ways farmers can profit from the renewable energy economy.
Oil and gas issues and renewable energy
Polis hopes our state can switch to all renewable energy by 2040. “Is that realistic?” asked Harber. Polis answered, “Pueblo has committed to 2030.” He added, “Excel tells us that wind energy costs 20 percent less energy derived from coal.” He opposes Proposition 112, which requires 2,500-foot setbacks from a long list of buildings for new oil and gas drilling operations. He said, “I’ve long been involved in making sure that communities have a seat at the table in determining setbacks.” He believes that local communities should make these decisions based on their own circumstances.
Gun Control
Polis supports universal background checks and limits on magazine sizes. He also agrees with the philosophy behind red flag laws. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com
lands in Colorado’s top five oil and gas producing counties would be off limits to future oil and gas development. Without using the word “ban,” Proposition 112 is essentially a “ban” on oil and gas development in Colorado. What’s missing from the picture if Proposition 112 is passed? Colorado would lose 147,000 jobs by 2030 (up to 43,000 in the first year alone) and more than $1 billion in tax revenue to the state. In 2015 and 2016 alone, the oil and gas industry provided $839 million in funding to K-12 education. And over the past eight years, the industry has paid $615 million in severance taxes to help fund new parks and recreation centers, police and fire protection, and transportation projects. Three generations of my family have proudly worked in the Colorado oil and gas business. We’re all voting no on Proposition 112. It’s not a pretty picture. Jerry Sommer Parker

Lexus GS-300F has twinturbo performance The Lexus brand has a very good reputation and welldeserved. Strong and dependable local dealerships add to the equation. The Lexus motto is “Experience Amazing.” The 2018 GS-300 F Sport model is another Lexus classic with twin-turbo power for the 2L, four-cylinder engine the driver has the choice of “Eco,” “Normal” and “Sport” modes. The drive is enhanced with the sequential eightspeed transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters. The four-cylinder engine delivers excellent fuel economy with 30 mpg on the freeways and an overall average of 24 mpg. The eco mode has quite sufficient power for the overall drive. However, entering the freeways and wanting that extra turbo boost was exhilarating to feel the power generated by the smaller en-
gine. To change modes is a quick dial adjustment on the center console. One challenge was a slight delay with the turbo option kicking in when needed. This could be a factory adjustment and high-altitude quirk, but there is a slight delay that is found many times in diesel engines and other turbo car testing. This model is made in Toyota, Aichi Japan at sea level. This “Ultrasonic Blue Mica” paint covers the sleek design and the swept back BiLED headlamps. The GS-300 has all of the latest safety features and equipment and cameras warning of lane departures, pedestrian alerts, and the entire Lexus Safety System. The best new feature now found on many vehicles is the Pre-Collision System that prevents striking a forward object. The ride is firm, and the suspension system is indepen-

dent double-wishbone and the rear independent multi-link suspension for a very strong automotive frame. Being a high-speed sportsmodel, the brake system is enhanced with two-piece front brake rotors, with four-piston calipers. The safety features are extensive along with Lexus electronic systems and Bluetooth technology. The front seats are ventilated for heat and cooling and a 16-way driver’s seat adjustment for the F-Sport model. Add in a sun-roof, leather heated steering wheel and shift knob and the car is ready for track and field performance. It also makes an easy grocery store run. The suggested retail price is $50,900 with a few additional options adding to a price of $54,620. The GS-300, while made for sports driving, has rear seating and is a solid sport sedan for all occasions.

for millennials – developing services for other millennials – there is a growing wave of startups designing their innovative services and products to target the older population, according to Brown. “Aging 2.0’s mission is to raise the level of awareness of aging issues and highlight the superabundance of business opportunities available in this area,” says Brown, who also is the CEO of Seniors Matter. “Doing good and doing well are now in vogue, and creating products and services to meet
the needs of older people is a compassionate idea, and also is shrewd business.” International companies, like Procter and Gamble (P&G) and Best Buy, have realized the enormous business opportunities in the aging space. For example, P&G developed a razor that makes it easier for caregivers to shave their loved ones. Best Buy recently spent $800 million to acquire GreatCall, the leading provider of connected health and personal emergency response services to the aging population.
Say what you mean, mean what you say BY: JILL PERTLER
you,” people like to share. I think this may be exponentiated by our plugged-in, social media-laden society. People don’t get enough face time of the real facial variety and we are born to yearn for it. Typing onscreen doesn’t cut it. So people, if asked, will share – sometimes more information than the polite conversation starter predicted or intended. When they do, I suggest one thing: listen. Even when they don’t know your name. It’s the kind thing to do. “What’s up?” is a close cousin to “How are you?” When asked, I enjoy a very clever response. I simply say, “The sky.” Practically genius, I know. My sons laugh every time. Not. Initial conversation that centers on the weather indicates one of two things. First, the person may have a legitimate interest in becoming a meteorologist. This is unlikely. Second, they may be attempting to avoid an awkward silence by filling it with a universal topic. Weather is a safe and politically uncharged subject – unless you are talking climate change, acid rain, hurricanes, flooding, droughts, tornadoes, tsunamis or blizzards, then you better stay clear. Maybe talking about the weather isn’t so safe after all. Proceed at your own risk. “What’s new” could possibly be the most dangerous question of all. Asking such a risky ques-
tion leaves you open to all sorts of unexpected and unforeseen responses. It’s sort of like “How are you” on steroids. What’s new? Are you kidding me? Anything and everything: “My marital status,” “My name,” “I’m against the government,” “I’m for the government,” “I think I may be an alien,” and the most controversial of all: “Kraft Mac and Cheese has a new recipe.” Finally, “Have a great day” might seem rather innocuous. Deceivingly so. Surprisingly some people take offense to it. They don’t want you telling them what kind of day to have – great, horrible or anything in between. It’s their own darn day, and don’t you dare tell them how to perceive or live it. Great day? Hah! Everyone has the right to have a crappy day, so they should decide which or what it is. Quit being bossy; you run the risk of ticking them off if you feel you are so superior that you think you can tell someone what kind of day to have. Lay off. Bottom line? Small talk can have big repercussions. Proceed at your own risk. In the meantime, have a super great day.

to the television so that these photos can be viewed on loop. Recipe collection: Pull together the family’s culinary legacy from old recipe cards, word-of-mouth instructions and more. Print or publish the recipe book and distribute to grandma or grandpa and other members of the family. Special shadowbox: Create a shadow box of cherished mementos. If a loved one served in the military, was a beloved teacher or had a worthwhile hobby or other endeavor, gather pertinent items and arrange them in the shadowbox. With some forethought and ingenuity, it’s possible to come up with gifts for seniors that they’ll cherish for years to come.
How are you? What’s up? What’s new? How about this crazy hot (cold, rainy, dry) weather we’ve been having? Have a great day! Small talk. We’ve all participated in the chatter, often not even thinking about what we’re saying. It’s rote communication. Blah, blah, blah. But what do people mean – really – when they engage in this routine conversation? And what do they expect as a response? Let’s start with “How are you?” It’s a common question we’ve all probably both asked and fielded. Variations on the phrase include “How’s it going?” “How’ve you been?” and “How’s life?” to name just a few. These conversation starters have a purpose rooted in politeness. They are not, necessarily, an invitation to provide a detailed update on medical maladies, financial woes, job issues or family difficulties. “Oh boy, let me tell you. I’ve had this infected toe for weeks. And we aren’t sure if the medical insurance will pay for it. To top it off, I’ve been out of work because I can’t walk and they’re threatening to lay me off and my wife is mad as heck and threatening to leave me. Otherwise, things are good. Thanks for asking. What was your name, again?” Despite the innocence of the question regarding “How are
Seniors are situated at the top of the family tree, and grandparents have a lot of experience and knowledge to pass on to the generations who follow them. Grandparents often do much for their families and, at various times - whether it’s the holiday season, birthdays or other special occasions - it’s time to repay grandparents for all they do. These ideas can become cherished gifts from the heart. Photo flip book: Thanks to the popularity of digital photos, families may no longer print out copies of their photographs. However, various apps from major photo-printing providers enable users to put together
photo flip books and other photo gifts right from their smartphones that seniors will love. Plaster mold: Grandparents may enjoy crafting with youngsters, and making molds of hands or palm prints is a great craft idea. Hobby and craft stores have various kits at the ready for these types of projects. Afterward, the hardened mold can be painted, dated and signed for a lasting memento. Photo slideshow: Turn old photographs into a digital legacy. Tech-savvy family members can scan prints of photos and upload them into slideshow programs.

Which flu shot is right for you? rundown of the different vaccine options (you only need to get one of these):
SAVVYSENIOR
Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve been reading that there are a bunch of different flu vaccines for seniors this flu season. Which flu shot is right for me? Flu-Conscious Carol
Standard flu vaccines If you want to keep things basic, you can’t go wrong with a “stanBY JIM MILLER dard (trivalent) flu shot,” which has been around Dear Carol, for more than 40 years and proIt wasn’t that long ago that if tects against three different strains you wanted to get protected from of flu viruses.

To help you decide which you should consider the “quadriflu shot is right for you, you need valent flu vaccine” that protects to consider your health, age and against four types of influenza personal preferences. Here’s what – the same three strains as the you should know. standard trivalent flu shot, plus an additional B-strain virus.
Flu Shot Options
Just as they do every year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a seasonal flu shot to everyone 6 months of age and older, but it’s especially important for seniors who are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications. The flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills an average of 24,000 – 80 to 90 percent of whom are seniors. Here’s the
Senior-specific vaccines If you’re age 65 or older and want some extra protection, you should consider the “Fluzone High-Dose” or “FLUAD.” The Fluzone High-Dose has four times the amount of antigen as a regular flu shot does, while the FLUAD contains an added ingredient called adjuvant MF59. Both vaccines provide a stronger immune response for better protection.
Overcoming a betrayal If you have ever been betrayed by someone you love and trust you know how debilitating it is. Unfaithfulness, dishonesty, disloyalty, gossip or revealing a secret feels like a personal violation that digs deep into the core of our being. It creates distance and cynicism, anger and resentment. Betrayal destroys emotional safety. Betrayal makes the betrayed feel stupid and uninformed asking oneself, “How could I have been so clueless?” Does betrayal automatically mean the demise of a relationship forever? There are many examples of a couple’s relationship being restored after a major infraction. It is not easy, and it takes time to rebuild trust. If done with skill and finesse, trust can be restored. It is a very sensitive and delicate dance to break through the complexity of forgiveness, rebuilding and reconciliation. Therapy is worth trying at this point. Having a neutral, skilled, and unemotional third party help you both through the process is very helpful.
Angela Bisignano, Ph.D, relationship expert, outlines a seven-step plan to restore trust when a betrayal has occurred. Own your part: If you have offended or hurt someone by breaking trust, it’s critical to reflect on your actions and acknowledge your role. Make an apology plan: For many people, apologizing doesn’t come easily. It can make a person feel vulnerable and exposed. Be intentional and move forward with your apology despite any discomfort. Create a good time to talk: Ask your partner when a good time to talk would be. Let them know you have something important you would like to discuss. Let them dictate the timing of that discussion so they can give it, and you, their full attention. Accept responsibility: You have already owned up to yourself. Now it’s time to show your partner that you accept responsibility. Be sincere and use “I” messages: “I am so sorry to have hurt you,” “I really care about you and feel terrible that I have

Egg allergy vaccines If you’re allergic to eggs, your flu shot options are “Flucelvax” or “FluBlok.” Neither of these vaccines uses chicken eggs in their manufacturing process. Fear of needle vaccines If you don’t like needles, and you’re between the ages of 18 and 64, your options are the “Fluzone Intradermal” or “AFLURIA” vaccine. The Fluzone intradermal flu shot uses a tiny 1/16-inch long micro-needle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like the standard flu shot. While the AFLURIA vaccine is administered by a jet injector, which is a medical device that uses a high-pressure, narrow stream of fluid to penetrate the skin instead of a needle. You should also know that if you’re a Medicare beneficiary, Part B covers all flu vaccinations, but if you have private health insurance, you’ll need to check with your plan to see which vaccines they do or don’t cover. Pneumonia Vaccines Two other important vaccinations the CDC recommends to seniors, especially this time of year, are the pneumococcal vaccines
let you down.” Communicate that you want to make things right. Let your partner know you recognize that you broke their trust and you are willing to work hard to regain it. Activity listen: After apologizing, hear your partner out. You’ve spoken; now it’s time to listen. Use active listening techniques. This means being receptive not only verbally but with your body language as well. Lean in and look your partner in the eye rather than folding your arms in a defensive posture. Back up your words with actions: A genuine apology is affirming. However, in the absence of follow-through, words become meaningless and future attempts at repair may be rejected. If an apology is accepted, one must demonstrate a pattern of dependable behavior. Finally, be patient. This process takes time. Relationships, especially marriages with children, are certainly worth the effort to overcome a betrayal and restore the relationship.

for pneumonia. Around 1 million Americans are hospitalized with pneumonia each year, and about 50,000 people die from it. The CDC recommends that all seniors, 65 or older, get two vaccinations –Prevnar 13 and Pneumovax 23. Both vaccines, which are administered just once at different times, work in different ways to provide maximum protection. If you haven’t yet received any pneumococcal vaccine you should get the Prevnar 13 first,
followed by Pneumovax 23 six to 12 months later. Medicare Part B covers both shots if they are taken at least one year apart. To locate a vaccination site that offers both flu and pneumonia shots, visit Vaccines.gov and type in your ZIP code. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Coffman shares his military and political path A frequent and favorite guest of Cherry Creek Republican Women (CCRW), U.S. Congressman Mike Coffman (6th District) known as “The Veteran’s Veteran,” was the keynote speaker at the organization’s September meeting at Glenmoor Country Club. He lived in the shadow of his father who joined the Army at age 16 and fought in The
Battle of The Bulge. “I will stand up for veterans regardless of which administration,” said Coffman who serves on the Armed Services Committee, Veterans’ Affairs Committee and House Committee for Small Business. He served in the U.S. Army after his junior year of high school, served in the U.S. Army Reserve while completing a GI Bill –sponsored degree at CU and transferred to the U.S. Marine

He was Colorado Secretary of State and elected to U.S. House of Representatives in 2008. He is the only veteran in the Colorado delegation and is the only member of Congress to have served in the First Gulf War and the Iraq War. He visits Afghanistan once per year. “What a tragedy
the way soldiers were treated when they returned from Vietnam,” he said. When visiting more recent patients recovering from war, he is touched by the words from the brave: “We work hard to get well, so we can meet the incoming wounded at the tarmac.” The 6th Congressional District is a diverse one and Coffman and is known to attend five religious events ranging from a Mosque to Ethiopian

New exhibit at Children’s Museum
In June, the Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus broke ground on a major new exhibit. Adventure Forest is an outdoor aerial adventure course and immersive, exploratory sculpture. Construction is well underway, but is taking longer than estimated. Adventure Forest opening dates, originally slated for September, have shifted to later this year. “Building and constructing Adventure Forest - something so incredibly unique - is taking longer than our original estimated timeline,” said Mike
Yankovich, museum president. “Adventure Forest is coming, and it will be extraordinary. We want to give it the time and care it needs to be the absolute best it can be.” Adventure Forest is designed for confident climbers and their grown-ups, featuring elements like rope swings, a glass bridge, slinky climb, a lookout that sits over 55 ft in the air, and dueling 70 ft slides with rainbow prisms to return you to earth. And, sitting 90 feet above the banks of the South Platte River and I-25, the sculpture will be a new landmark in Denver’s skyline.
Colorado girl turned her passion into a profitable business BY ROSEMARY FETTER STAFF WRITER As bright and lively as her designs, Jill Bradley is a true Colorado girl, a near-native who moved here with her parents when she was a toddler. The mother of four children, ages 7 through 14, she launched her highly successful business from home a year ago. Her clothing line, Colorado Girl, offers a rainbow of comfy apparel and hats for men, women and the younger set, with eye-catching artwork that literally captures the heart and spirit of the outdoor Colorado lifestyle Jill took an indirect path toward a career in the apparel business. She has degrees in science and theological studies and taught aerobics, but spent her earlier years traveling with her husband in the military and caring for her little ones. “We love Colorado, and when my husband retired we settled in Monument,” she said. “We had fun designing our own home, which I decorated. But once we were finished, the kids were all in school and I needed a new challenge.

Cheers to Netflix’s Magic For Humans for enchanting us. Like the oddly welladjusted love child of David Blaine and Billy Eichner, street magician Justin Willman’s best trick is making our skepticism vanish during six mind-blowing episodes of comedy and conjuring.
Jeers to The Young And the Restless for giving a standout vet the ol’ heaveho. After 40 years as Genoa City’s bad boy-gone-good Paul Williams, Emmy- winner Doug Davidson has been shown the door in what we can only imagine is the worst twist a soap opera has ever thrown it’s lifelong fans.
Cheers to Stand Up to Cancer for breaking down boundaries. More than 65 networks and streaming outlets united for a joint telecast of the biennial fundraising event, featuring everyone from Bradley Cooper and Katie Couric to Keith Urban and Reese Witherspoon. Not too shabby at all.
Jeers to Bachelor in Paradise ’s beachfront disasters. Leo threw a hissy after losing Kendall to Grocery Joe, ego-beast Jordan trashed two female contestants for laughing at his antics and serial dater Annaliese fell in love at the opening of a date card. These people don’t need Paradise. They need therapy.

Foundation Healthy Foods Fund receives grant
Colorado Enterprise Fund (CEF) announced this week that it received a $135,000 grant award from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation in recognition of the organization’s support of underserved entrepreneurs through its Healthy Foods Fund, which was created to ensure that all Colorado communities – rural and urban – have access to fresh, nutritious and affordable food. Ceyl Prinster, president and CEO of CEF received the award at the Denver Startup Week’s kick-off breakfast, which was held at the Seawell Ballroom. This year’s $135,000 grant to CEF is more than double the $60,000 grant received by CEF from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation in 2017. “We are very honored to receive this grant since it not only continues to expand our relationship with JPMorgan Chase but enables CEF to further serve Colorado entrepreneurs and businesses, ultimately, fostering a more vibrant local food economy,” says Ceyl Prinster, president and CEO of Colorado Enterprise Fund. “To date, CEF has been able to provide $3.5 million in loans through our Healthy Foods Fund and we will now be able to leverage this grant with other public and private sources of funding to maximize impact in our Colorado communities.” The grant will help CEF scale its Healthy Foods Fund, which finances food production, small grocery retail, local food distribution, and innovative healthy food businesses throughout urban and rural parts of Colorado. CEF lends to all segments of the food system to improve access to fresh, healthy food for Colorado’s residents and to promote economic and health benefits for communities designated as “food deserts.” To date, the Healthy Foods Fund has made 53 loans to 48 Colorado businesses for $3.5 million, which has helped create or retain nearly 200 jobs.

The race finishes atop a steep “murder” hill finish at Westlands Park where all athletes are greeted with a medal of completion and a smoothie for their great efforts. The program has been sponsored for 11 years by Greenwood Pediatrics who donated $500 to the school with the most athlete participants as well as Blue Sky
Promotions who kindly donate T-shirt dollars and 5280 Health Center, also a sponsor, handed out cheering towels to all the participants. This year Greenwood Elementary won first place with 23 kids competing in the event followed by a close second, Belleview Elementary with 20 athletes competing. Both schools will receive $250 for physical education of their choice at each school. Congratulations to all athletes for a job well done.
