Sheridan celebrates Haraldsen as parade’s rand
gmarshal
Submitted by City of Sheridan 2013 is the year that “Sheridan Celebrates Military Heroes,” and there has been just such a veteran participating in the parade for more than 20 years. Ken Haraldsen has driven the little locomotive in the Sheridan Celebrates parade representing the Englewood Lions. But he represents far more than that. He is a true military hero whose service to this country spans more than 40 years. Enlisting in the Army Air Corps in 1942, his dream of being a pilot was dashed when he could not pass the color-blindness test. He became a mechanic instead and later a warden at an overseas prisonerof-war camp along the Rhine River. He joined the reserves after his release from active duty in 1946. When the Air Force was formed in 1947, he became part of that organization. During his tenure in the Air Force, he was cross-trained as a medic and assisted thousands of Vietnam veterans returning to Fitzsimmons in the late 1960s. Later, he moved to the Air Force Academy working in the emergency room and making ambulance trips. His formal theological college instruction at Central Bible College in Springfield, Mo, gave him the compassion and courage that was required for his long-term military service. Haraldsen proudly states, “I’ve saved six lives.” He retired from the Air Force in December 1982. Locally, Haraldsen was employed at the Englewood Post Office for 27 years and is a 25-year member of the Englewood Lions Club. After spending a couple of summers as an engineer for the kiddie train in Belleview Park, Haraldsen thought, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we could have a train in the parade?” So he made it happen. In 1990, he partnered with the Englewood High School shop class and constructed the little locomotive that appears each year in the Sheridan Celebrates parade. Haraldsen’s story will soon be elevated to “star status,” as he was recently interviewed for a History Channel special on World War II veterans. Don’t miss your chance to meet this amazing man at this year’s Sheridan Celebrates parade and festival held on Saturday, Sept. 28. The Sheridan Celebrates Committee welcomes Haraldsen as Grand Marshal and invites all active and veteran military men and women to participate in the 2013 parade.

Englewood to fight ruling on sex offenders ACLU says residency law violates state Constitution By Peter Jones Convicted sex offenders may not want to house hunt in Englewood yet. The city has announced it will appeal a federal judge’s ruling that Englewood’s strict limits on where offenders can live pre-empts the state Constitution. “Because the state does not provide any protection for cities, we were basically forced to do that on our own,” Deputy City Manager Michael Flaherty said. “If the state had a law in place as 21 other states do, we would not have had to do this.” The controversial city ordinance makes it a crime for sex offenders to live within 2,000 feet of any school, park, or

ordinance. “There is no mention anywhere that says anything about where a sex offender – including the most egregious offender – may or may not live,” Flaherty said. That fact is quickly conceded by Mark Silverstein, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, which brought the lawsuit on behalf of a convicted sex offender who was issued a summons from the city after he unknowingly purchased a home in a restricted area of Englewood. According to the ACLU attorney, the issue is the state Constitution’s limits on the powers of home-rule cities when there is a compelling statewide interest. “If an issue is clearly about a Continued on page 2

Englewood expected to seek support of other Colorado cities Continued from Page 1 matter of local concern, then the city has total power – like deciding what days there’ll be garbage pickup,” he said. “But if a local ordinance winds up having effects outside the community, then it might be regarded as something where the city doesn’t have full power.” The authority of home-rule cities has been tested before. The City of Denver has successfully used its home-rule status to keep its ordinance prohibiting pit bulls after some argued that law would push the breed’s owners into the suburbs. In the case of sex offenders, Silverstein argues, Englewood’s ordinance, as well as similar ones passed in Greenwood Village, Lone Tree and Castle Rock, among others, could have a rippling impact on the entire state, especially if other surrounding cities pass their own policies for where such offenders can live. “The effect of residency restrictions in Englewood means that sex offenders will go to the next town, so the local ordinance clearly has an effect on areas outside the city,” Silverstein said. “In
In Colorado, local communities don’t have the power to pass an ordinance like this. - Mark Silverstein, ACLU legal director Colorado, local communities don’t have the power to pass an ordinance like this. If residency restrictions for sex offenders are going to be enacted, they would be enacted by the state legislature.” Ironically, that is Englewood’s hope, according to Flaherty. He says the absence of applicable state law is part of what prompted Englewood to pass its 2006 ordinance in the first place. Flaherty concedes there are only a handful of pockets in the city where sex offenders can live, but he does not buy the argument
that the situation could create a crisis across Colorado, noting that only six cities have passed similar ordinances. Further, he says, Englewood’s minimal housing for offenders is connected to the city’s size and character, not an intent to prevent all residencies. “Englewood is a small city,” he said. “We’re not a city of highrise residences. We’re almost all single-family homes and we have a number of schools, playgrounds and parks in the city. Because of the circles that are drawn, it does preclude offenders to limited areas.” The number of Englewood residences legally available to sex offenders has been variously estimated at between 55 and 126, though by all counts such individuals cannot buy or rent in 99 percent of the city, Judge Jackson concluded. Englewood is expected to seek the support of other Colorado cities with similar ordinances in its appeal. Because this is the first legal case addressing municipal residency ordinances for sex offenders in Colorado, the case is expected to have wide-ranging impact across the state.

Broncos season returns
By Robert Sweeney
Fall is busy time for busy people A reminder about the upcoming First American State Bank Fitness Festival this Saturday, Sept. 7, at Crescent Park, DTC Boulevard and E. Belleview Avenue. You don’t have to run, but take the kids, let them run, you browse the many food booths.
Broncos facing Ravens in home opener coming up this week. Game will be over by the time this Villager reaches your mailbox. This game will be a real test and indicator of how good the Broncos team is this season. Expect the passing game to emerge in some great long pass completions. We will score for sure, but can we stop the other team from scoring more points? The pre-season indicates that there is some work to be completed. I do think that the Broncos will be throwing many passes this week and we might just win the game?

Hemi V-8 engine powers new Dodge Durango
The list price of the Dodge Durango RT is $35,995.
By H. Throttle Dodge is a household name in the car industry and is teamed up with Italy’s Fiat where these two iconic brands are producing some exciting cars and trucks. The Jeep line and Ram Tough trucks are especially popular in the United States. The new 2013 Dodge Durango RT features real wheel drive that is extra special to drive. Powered with a 5.7 liter V-8 hemi-engine, this baby will move down the highway. The mufflers are fine-tuned and that hemi engine just purrs its way to high speeds. A smooth six-speed transmission gives this unit fine road appeal and performance. It is built on a chassis similar to a Jeep Waggoner and is comparable in size and shape. Eye catching, with Redline two coat pearl paint and black distinctive tire rims, it turns heads. A youth walking by while parking commented “cool car,” while others have also looked over while I was driving this new Dodge. It is a fun drive with a peppy engine and rather large leather covered steering wheel. Kind of a man’s type of vehicle for sure with the leather trimmed seats and louder mufflers. The list price is $35,995 but the preview model had $9,000 worth of special features in navigation, technology features, along with heated everything.
The seats are exceptionally comfortable and easy to adjust. A plastic key inserts into the dash to start the vehicle rather than the smart key button that has become so prevalent in new cars. The key was hard to insert with the steering wheel in the way but a minor detail for engineering to work out. Fuel consumption for the large engine is pretty good averaging around 20 mpg and having a light throttle foot makes for better fuel economy. Looking at newspaper ads, there are some local Denver car dealers offering specials on this Durango as low as $22,989 and that would no doubt be a stripped down model. But, if that included the hemi V-8 engine and the six-speed transmission, it would be the best buy of the century. This is really a good workhorse vehicle that also includes three-row seating.

Great photographers capture the spirit of early Colorado By Rosemary Fetter
T
he first man with a camera set foot in Colorado in 1853 as part of the Fremont expedition. Accompanied by several wagonloads of bulky equipment, Solomon Nunes Carvahlo produced Colorado’s earliest photographs, stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, Native Americans and landmarks, including Bent’s Fort in southern Colorado. Although the photos were clear, for reasons unknown, John Frémont chose to include illustrations copied from the photos in his memoirs rather than the photographs themselves. Unfortunately, the original plates were destroyed by fire in 1881.
William Henry Jackson, probably the best known of Colorado’s early photographers, took the first photos of Yellowstone National Park.
William Henry Jackson
The best-known early Colorado photographer, William Henry Jackson, became famous internationally for his breathtaking images of Colorado and the American West. A New Yorker and Civil War veteran, Jackson joined the Hayden Geological Survey of 1871, along with painter Thomas Moran, to visually document the wonders of Yellowstone. Jackson’s fantastic images of the Grand Tetons, Old Faithful and the Mount of the Holy Cross helped to convince Congress to create Yellowstone National Park in March 1872. During the 1880s, Jackson kept
a Denver office at 414 Larimer St., later moving to 1609 Arapahoe St., where he named his firm the W.H. Jackson Photographic and Publishing Co. In 1897, he sold his business to the Detroit Publishing Co. and moved to Michigan to work with the firm. For years, he maintained a Denver studio at 433 Colfax Ave., currently the southern edge of the Auraria Campus.

DCIS at Fairmont celebrates ribbon cutting with international flare
By Elizabeth Denton Hale A dream that has become a reality to many involved, DCIS at Fairmont officially celebrated its grand opening with a ribbon cutting ceremony and performances, Aug. 30. Principal Anne Jacobs was elated that all the hard work put into opening the new school for 2013-14 came to fruition.
Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock and DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg congratulated the staff, students and parents, and are both looking forward to seeing the school grow into a success. Dan Lutz founded Denver Center for International Studies in 1985 as a magnet program at Denver’s West High School. The middle and high school moved into its current
location on 6th Avenue in 2006. DPS School Board expanded to two new DCIS campuses in 2011 in far northeast Denver. DCIS Ford Elementary School offers ECE – fifth grades. DCIS Montbello serves sixth and ninth grade students, phasing in full middle and high schools grades over the next three years.
DCIS at Fairmont’s students will automatically feed into the magnet middle and high school on 6th Avenue once completing fifth grade. DCIS at Fairmont serves grades ECE through fifth grade and is located in the historic Baker District in Denver. For more information, visit www.dcisfairmont. dpsk12.org.

My new smart personal assistant By Dorothy Rosby f you had told me even five years ago that someday, I would replace my cell phone because it stopped texting, I would have said, “It stopped what?” But that’s what I did. And I’d do the same if it stopped receiving my email, or keeping my calendar, or letting me play Doodle Jump. I’m joking. I’ve never downloaded Doodle Jump. But I do think I’ve reached a point where I use my phone for non-phone tasks more than I use it for its original purpose. You remember; making and receiving phone calls. That’s because my new phone can do everything except the laundry—and I might find out she does that too once I get to know her better. You’re probably asking, how I know my new phone is a she. I’ll tell you how: Because she talks. And I
I
don’t just mean, “Please hang up and dial again.” I mean, “Here’s the weather,” and “Should I look that up for you?” The other day she said, “I think therefore I am, but let’s not put Descartes before the horse.” I’m not making that up. She’s a show off. Maybe it’s time to do away with the word “telephone” altogether and call our phones, “Smart Personal Assistants Who, Among Their Many Talents, Can Also Make and Receive Phone Calls,” except that’s not very catchy and it takes up a lot of space in an advertisement. It’s not even 6
a.m. as I write this, and I’ve already used my Smart Personal Assistant six times, and not once to make a call—lucky for you, if you’re on my contact list. I checked the time, sent a tweet, read my email, and asked her to check the weather for me. When I thanked her, she said, “You’re satisfaction is all the thanks I need.” I think she’s still trying to impress me. She reminded me about a relative’s birthday, so I asked her for the address so I could send a card. I’m still wait-
ing for her to fill it out and mail it for me. If I wanted, I could spend the day with my Smart Personal Assistant, listening to music, hanging out on Facebook, or even watching movies on her, though I’m not sure why I would do that, since I have a television screen the size of Seattle in my basement. Nor do I necessarily I want to read an entire novel on a device no bigger than a deck of cards, but I could. Or maybe she’d read to me. She does math problems if I ask her to. I wish I’d had her when I was in school. If I get lost, which I often do, I can ask my Smart Personal Assistant for directions. And if the electricity goes out, I can use her as a flashlight. She’s easier to keep track of than my other flashlights because she rings sometimes. She’s not perfect though. She tries to correct my spelling, and she’s not as smart as she thinks she
is. When I texted my son that we were going “canoeing,” she guessed I meant “canning.” Clearly she doesn’t know me very well. And she occasionally gets her directions wrong, which is the only thing we have in common. Plus there are a lot of things she can’t do. She can’t balance my checkbook. She can’t warn me not to back out of the garage while I’m texting. She can’t paint my house. But, she does a lot. And all she asks of me is that I keep her battery charged. That and pay our cell phone bill on time. One wonders what will become of the manufacturers of cameras, alarm clocks, calculators, and all sorts of other devices as more and more people get Smart Personal Assistants Who, Among Their Many Talents, Can Also Make and Receive Phone Calls. And what will become of me if I ever lose mine? (Contact drosby@rushmore.com or see www.dorothyrosby.com.)
