By Peter Jones The Vietnam War. Fishing. Superheroes. Those may not be the images typically associated with breasts – but when it comes to creative artists and a breast-cancer fundraiser, anything goes. After all, it takes a superhero of a kind to wage the war against cancer – and sometimes the simple serenity of casting a pole in the great outdoors can bring a brief peace in the midst of personal struggle. The cast entries ran the gamut in this year’s Breasts of Colorado, the second annual benefit for Sense of Security, a 13-year-old Colorado nonprofit that helps breast-cancer survivors pay their

Section 15 of the Colorado Constitution states that school board members “…shall have control of instruction in the public schools of their respective districts.” Further, in Section 16, the state constitution says, “Neither the general assembly nor the state board of education shall have power to prescribe textbooks to be used in the public schools.” By accepting the federal intrusion in local school districts by signing onto the Common Core State Standards, the governor and State Board of Education have stripped away the power that my constituents have, through their democratically elected representatives, to provide an effective, whole-child education for their children that isn’t focused on testing and test prep. The decision-making authority has been taken out of our hands. In my opinion, because school boards no longer have power to control instruction, the entire arrangement of the CCSS is unconstitutional, and it could set up an opportunity for parents to both opt out of testing and also seek relief from the courts to restore decision-making power to their democratically-elected representatives. With that result, a school board member could impact the number of assessments that schools implement and thereby protect the special designations of certain school programs. I cannot, in good conscience, serve on a board whose only function now is to give tests. Right now, the only real power to counteract the onslaught of highstakes testing lies in the hands of parents, who have the power to opt out of state-mandated testing. While school boards are legally obligated to administer the test, families are not required to take it. I leave my beloved southwest Denver schools in a better place. Unlike other board districts, no neighborhood schools have been closed or overtaken by charters. Special school designations, like International Baccalaureate, have been preserved at Sabin Elementary, Henry Middle School and Kennedy High. Our third-grade reading scores, an indicator of high school graduation, show nearly the only growth in the entire school district. I am proud to have created a firewall of protection from corporate and profit-seeking interests. I only wish that my authority could have protected students, teachers and families from the consequence of too much testing, and performance outcomes that are determined not by the teacher or the student, but by outside power mongers. It is with sad reluctance but a stronger sense of resolve that I continue my leadership in a different direction. I offer my deepest gratitude to those who have stood with me in service to education and our future embodied by our Denver students, especially the scores of veteran teachers and committed parents throughout the city. I’d like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to an informational meeting regarding opting out of state- and federally-mandated tests. You will have the opportunity to hear from parents who opt out each year and to better understand your rights in preserving a public education system that honors its learners. Please join me on Feb. 4, 2014, 5 p.m., at Ross-Barnum Library, 1st Avenue and Lowell Boulevard. RSVP here: http://andreamerida. com/rsvpmaker/opt-out-of-standardized-testing/.

’m really proud of my alma mater, Colorado State University and the Rams football team. Going to Tuscaloosa, Ala., Saturday, the Rams were the underdogs by 39 points. They ultimately lost by 25 points, but the game was much closer than the score indicates. The first quarter score was only 7-0. The Crimson Tide blocked a punt and got a cheap touchdown to lead by 14. Rams got two field goals and only trailed by two scores. The defense held the Crimson Tide at bay and Rams quarterback Garrett Grayson proved to be a stellar performer. CSU Coach Jim McElwain showed his worth along with Athletic Director Jack Graham in putting CSU in the national spotlight and doing so well. Indeed, the Rams do deserve a new football stadium in Fort Collins and a winning football team is the front door to university recruitment of athletes, students and donors. Hurrah for CSU, also coming to the south metro area in January with graduate level classes announced last week by John Brackney, South Metro Denver Chamber president.

Cottrell gets roasted
Bo Cottrell was roasted and toasted Sept. 20 at the Red Lion Inn on Parker Road. The hotel is under extensive remodeling, but the banquet room was overflowing with friends of Bo and Lynn Cottrell honoring the long time Arapahoe icon. Funds were raised from the event for TAPS (Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors). Bo achieved local stardom as a founding member of the Lawmen, a legendary trio performing at the Taylor’s Supper Club. The team of Bo Cottrell, Eddie Johnson and Steve Phelps provided a memorable presentation of songs to the delight of the 300 dinner guests. A panel of long-time friends

It was a great tribute to Bo and Lynn Cottrell for their many contributions to local, state and national causes.

famed Daniels and Fisher Clock Tower for the wedding of Lions Club member Catherine Ostrander and Harold Lopez. I was a very young boy when I went on a visit to Denver from far away Craig and my mother took my brother and myself to the top of the Tower to view the vast skyline of Denver in the 1940s. The rail tramways were still operating on the downtown streets. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were starring in the featured film at the Paramount Theatre. The Tower now hosts the Lannie Garrett show and has an events center on the 17th floor. The new bride works for The University of Colorado Foundation serving the UCD campus at Auraria.

Political correctness is incorrect REMARKS
By Mort Marks
I’m no longer surprised at intellectuals, college professors and “elitists” who call themselves “politically correct” and who look askance at any manifestations of love of our country. To many of them, patriotism has meant American imperialism, excessive spending on defense, and mindless flag waving by citizens without university degrees.

The Johnson Center & The Village is now one campus Submitted by Chuck Montera In Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Fast forward 420 years and the words of the Bard ring true today, even when applied to the name of a Centennial retirement community. On Sept. 19, Christian Living Communities announced the new name Someren Glen Retirement Community uniting what was known as The Johnson Center & The Village as one campus. “The name Someren pays homage to the founders of Christian Living Communities, who were descendants of Dutch Calvinist immigrants and settled in Denver,” said Christian Living Communities President and CEO Russ Den Braber. “Someren is a small hamlet in the southern Netherlands but it also connotes light, summer, peace and prosperity. More importantly, Someren Glen unifies our two
buildings as one campus offering a full continuum of care and services. “We gratefully continue to honor the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation who helped create our community 23 years ago. At the time, our partnership provided some of the first skilled nursing services in Arapahoe County. Today we build on that proud tradition and look forward to a united future.” The Heritage Park is currently being built as a unifying feature on campus. When CLC began exploring name options for the community, it made sure its residents were part of that process. Residents were involved with helping choose the new name, logo and the community’s new slogan, “The Fine Art of Living.” “I was part of a resident committee that looked at all the potential new names. We held several meetings and took several votes before presenting new names to CLC leadership,” said resident Warren Lam. “It was neat that CLC valued our opinions and made us part of the process.” Someren Glen Executive Director Tim Rogers said, “Someren
Glen Retirement Community gives us the opportunity to unite our campuses under one name while continuing our 23-year tradition of serving and enriching the lives of seniors with compassion, dignity and respect on a daily basis.” The services Someren Glen offers are wide and vary depending on the specific needs of its residents. It offers seniors independent residential living and a full continuum of care through assisted living, skilled nursing, memory support and rehabilitation/ Adult Day Services. “Our reputation is based on the excellent care and services our staff provides and our name change will help bolster that care and service,” said Someren Glen’s Director of Community Life, Anna Marie Connor. Approximately 200 residents, staff and community/business partners joined the festivities to celebrate the new community name. Someren Glen Retirement Community is located at 5000 E. Arapahoe Road in Centennial. For more information, visit www.christianlivingcommunities. org or call 303-779-5000.

Hyatt sells DTC hotel Building to remain under Hyatt brand by Peter Jones Hyatt Hotels Corporation has sold the 451-room Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center to an Austin, Texas-based affiliate of JMI Realty for approximately $60 million. That amounts to about $133,000 per room. As part of the sale announced last week, Hyatt has entered into a franchise agreement with JMI Realty, which has contracted with Davidson Hotels & Resorts to
manage the hotel under the Hyatt Regency brand. “This transaction allows Hyatt to retain its brand presence in the Denver Tech Center area and furthers our capital recycling strategy, which allows us to continue to achieve strategic growth,” Hyatt’s Stephen Haggerty said in a statement. “We are excited to enter into a relationship with an owner as respected as JMI Realty, and we believe their planned renovation of the hotel’s meeting space will help maintain the Hyatt Regency brand’s reputation as a superior
place for meetings and events.” The recently renovated AAArated hotel features more than 30,000 square feet of functional space and the recently opened Root25 Taphouse & Kitchen, which highlights Colorado craft beer, and Perks Coffee & Go, a gourmet market offering Starbucks products. Hyatt said in a statement that JMI Realty plans to renovate the hotel’s meeting spaces to attract conferences and other events. Hyatt reportedly purchased the building in 1997 for $47.8 million.

‘Centennial’ Pawnee Buttes, the landmark setting for Michener’s Centennial.
The history behind the characters By Linda Wommack he Platte River,” said the editor. “That’s the sorriest river in America. You’ve heard all the jokes about the Platte. ‘Too thick to drink, too thin to plow.’ That’s a nothing river.” I replied. “That’s why we chose it.” replied the editor. These words were penned by the late James A. Michener in his opening of his blockbuster book Centennial. Published in 1974, the Colorado epic swept the country and later came to the television screen as a mini-series. Another blockbuster for Michener, it was television at its’ best becoming the most watched television miniseries since Roots, and was not surpassed in ratings until 1993’s Lonesome Dove. Michener was the master at epic storytelling, with rich history as the backdrop. His previous works included Tales of the South Pacific and The Source, and later, Chesapeake and Texas, to name only a few. Yet it was Centennial that gripped the country and the Colorado audience, including this writer. Centennial was the sweeping saga of Colorado history and superb storylines that captured the reader’s interest as well as the television mini series. Both the book and the movie center around the Platte River. From the beginning of time, the Platte has wandered slowly through the plains of Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska. The Indians knew it as a landmark of their hunting grounds, and when the trappers came West, it became a highway through the Western Plains. Throughout Colorado history, the Platte River has remained vital to the state, depicted in each and every character Michener created. Characterization is another gift Michener possessed which makes the historical epic true to human nature and therefore so compelling. Many of the characters in Centennial were based on real people or composites of actual historic figures. Take the opening segment of The River, a French trapper sings merrily as he paddles his canoe down the shallow Platte River. At this particular time of the year, the river is low, dramatized as the trapper pulls his canoe to the shore and continues his journey on foot. The trapper is a composite of Ceran St. Vrain, one of the first French trappers of the Colorado Plains and later a partner with the Bent brothers. The character is called Pasquinel, played by Robert Conrad in the television movie. He forms a bond of friendship and respect with the Plains Indians and through his journeys, meets Alexander McKeag, played by Richard Chamberlain, a composite of the Bent brothers, of the historic Bent’s

Fort. The two form a life-long friendship that is the basis of the story and the beginning of what would become Colorado. “Yellow Apron” is the chapter that depicts the annual Mountain Man Rendezvous, a gathering and celebration of the great trappers such as James Beckwourth and Jim Bridger, brings the Colorado history forward into a new era. McKeag moves on to a new beginning as he realizes the beaver trade is dying out. He builds a new fort on the bank of the the Arkansas River on the southern plains of the Colorado Territory, where soldiers, trappers and Indians, all come together to trade. It is in the chapter, entitled “The Massacre,” that Michener’s historic characterization is at its finest. Through the story thus far, Westward Migration has gripped the country and affected the Indian way of life. Mjr. Maxwell Mercy, based on the Colorado Indian agent Edward Wynkoop, tries desperately to keep the peace. He has many talks with Lost Eagle, a peaceful Indian, whose character resembles that of Black Kettle, chief of the Cheyenne. Mercy loses his command of Bent’s Fort with the arrival of Col. Frank Skimmerhorn, who in history, we know as John M. Chivington. His mission is to wipe out all the Indians, in particular, the Pasquinel brothers, loosely based on the half-breed Bent brothers, the sons William Bent, of Bent’s Fort. The question of Indian replacement and reservation displacement
Col. John M. Chivington was portrayed in the book and movie as Col. Frank Skimmerhorn.

comes to a head. Skimmerhorn rides into southern plains of the Colorado Territory to take the Indian matter in hand. He unleashes hell and thunder when he strikes a peaceful Indian village near the fictional Rattle Snake Butte, in history known as the Sand Creek Massacre site. The culmination is the massacre, where hundreds of innocent Indians, primarily women and children, were brutally slaughtered. Major McIntosh, (in history, Silas Soule,) refuses to join the slaughter and facing a
court marshal, tells the truth of the slaughter. Superb historical reenacting and character depiction, as we know this to be the Sand Creek Massacre. Michener’s Centennial is obviously historical fiction. The history in this epic story is true, yet with all fiction, names and places are often changed. Centennial takes place in northeastern Colorado, therefore the massacre is placed at Pawnee Buttes, northwest of Sterling, rather than the true southeastern Colorado location. There are other reasons Michener chose northeastern Colorado as the setting for his book. One is the Oregon Trail, where Levi Zendt sets out west from St. Louis and meets McKeag, where R.J. Poteet brings a herd of Texas longhorn cattle north, following the true Goodnight-Loving Trail. Northeastern Colorado is also where he places Jim Lloyd, an adventurous young cowboy who builds the largest cattle ranch in all of Colorado. The Lloyd character is based on John Iliff, who actually did own over five million acres of land from Colorado to Wyoming, and east to Nebraska. As the Colorado story continues, Michener expands his use of description in the chapter called “The Dry Years.” In vivid detail that only Michener could define, one almost feels the dirt and grit, hear the constant wind, and see the whirling dust bowls as he describes a young homesteader couple with three young children. The woman, (Alice) faces a constant battle with
dirt in the food, the baby’s crib, even the icebox. The wind is loud and constant and it works against her nerves. Her husband fights desperately against the bugs and grasshoppers, as his crops wither and die before his dust filled eyes. In the television movie, we watch in horror as Alice desperately cleans dirt off the food, then turns to the crying baby covered with dust. Alice grabs the kitchen knife and ends the hopeless situation for the entire family. Desperation, loneliness and human emotion are portrayed with heart-wrenching realism. The narrative continues, as the town of Centennial grows through the ups and downs most small towns go through on the Colorado plains. The family generations continue to play a part in the storyline, as the tale weaves through history and into the 20th century, including sugar beet farming, immigrant workers and politics. In the end, Jim Lloyd’s grandson, running for political office against a tyrannical industrialist, recalls the words his grandparents told him: “The best will survive, as will the land. But to do so, you must respect the land.” Michener set out to write a novel surrounding the Bicentennial of America. He did that...and wrote an epic story based in Colorado, encompassing a rich history we would all do well to remember.

13-year-old Colorado nonprofit helps breast-cancer survivors pay living expenses Continued from Page 1 living expenses while they undergo the physical and emotional rigors of treatment. Since 2000, Sense of Security has helped distribute about $1.5 million to nearly 1,000 Colorado survivors who because of their treatments have struggled to pay their rent, mortgage, utilities, gas and food bills. “We are having some growing pains at this point,” Rita McCoy, the organization’s executive director, told the gallery opening at Cuttn it Loose in Englewood on Sept. 19. “What that means is we need all the help we can get from the community.” Enter the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, which last year raised more than $9,000 for the cause. Totals for this year had not been tabulated at press time. Here’s how it worked: Earlier this summer, more than 20 women and two men, including this reporter, submitted our breasts, such as they were, for casting. [In my case, it was a rather painful ordeal involving some chest hair that I’ll never get back, but that’s another story.] The casts were then handed over to local artists who were asked to find their muse in such general themes as cancer, survival and strength – often by incorporating the individual stories and personalities of their models. This year’s People’s Choice award was a case in point, fusing universal themes of femininity and protection with the offbeat “girl
power” of roller derby. Artist Julie Scott said the inspiration for the cast’s green-hued breasts encircled by serpents came from her model, Centennial’s Becky-joi Smith, who skates under the moniker Green Venom for the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls. “Because snake scales expand and contract, I thought that would be a natural for going over the bosom,” she said. “The crystals are for femininity. The pink on the one side is for the warmth in all of us. And the snakes are very protective. Not many people want to come up and grab your bosom if it’s encircled in snakes, right?” Other placement winners included a First Place ranking for artist Michelle Kastner and model Cori Kitamura for their graffiti-inspired mural full of sketches, and such phrases as “Courage,” “Never give up,” “Jump for joy” and “If you’re ship doesn’t come in, swim to it.” In second place came artist Karen Brever and model Cybelle Floyd for a cast that juxtaposed the constriction of disease with the liberation of survival. The left breast is imagined as one confined by a tight, uncomfortable corset, while the right breast is freed by the beauty and comforts of a healing summer. “You’re tied, you’re bound, you’re restricted by the disease – but through faith, hope and love you can release the disease and flourish again like the flowers in the garden,” said Brever, an artist who doubles as a mammogram
scheduler. Third place went to artist Vinton Ervin and model Tom Munds, a reporter for the Englewood Herald, for a cast that emphasized Munds’s service in the military before and during the Vietnam War, with implicit parallels to a victim’s fight against cancer. This sort of painting or other embellishment of breast casts was not always easy for artists not necessarily accustomed to working with full-figured plaster. “It’s a difficult medium. It’s not very forgiving,” said Kyle Bannister, whose cast of Kristin Bailey mirrored Colorado’s breast-cancer awareness license plate. Artist Robert Platt, whose abstract work incorporated shapes of colors associated with model Renee Wheelock’s interests, agreed. “I’m used to painting flat, so when you have a 3D surface, it takes quite a bit of time. There’s a little bit of extra effort involved. A lot more patience,” he said. It was not always easy for the models either – especially for a certain Villager reporter whose chesthair battle with his casting became the stuff of Breasts of Colorado legend by the time of last week’s reception. “We learned things last year, and we learned things this year,” co-organizer Eileen Baranosky said of the second annual fundraiser. “For example, we’re going to cast men who are hairy in plastic,” Rosemarie Cabral, another co-organizer, added with a smile. “Or lots of gel,” Baranosky said.
Artist Karen Brever, pictured, envisioned cast model Cybelle Floyd’s breasts as a study in contrasts: one confined by a tight, uncomfortable corset, the other freed by the beauty and comforts of hope, love and a flourishing garden. The work took second place.

Kindhearted 2-and 4-legged friends hike to help homeless pets Submitted by Dumb Friends League Fall was in the air as animal lovers big and small hit the Glendale Farm Open Space trail Sept. 21 for the Dumb Friends League’s ninth annual Wag `n Trail. More than 1,500 people and 750 dogs participated in the fundraiser, a 1.6-mile hike to raise money for the Dumb Friends League Buddy Center in Castle Rock. The event brought in more than $145,000 which will help Daisy, a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix, and thousands of other homeless pets get a second chance at finding a loving forever home. In addition to the hike, participants had the opportunity to watch flyball demonstrations, enjoy refreshments, meet adoptable pets and shop for pet-friendly merchandise and food from local vendors.
“Through the generosity of all of the participants, donors, sponsors, vendors and volunteers, this year’s Wag `n Trail was a huge success,” said Bob Rohde, president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League. “The power of collaboration and compassion will enable the Dumb Friends League to continue to provide services that help pets and people in Douglas County and beyond, and we are truly grateful.” The funds raised will help provide shelter and care for as many as 4,000 homeless cats, dogs and other small pets that come to the Buddy Center each year. The 2013 Wag `n Trail was sponsored by Hill’s Science Diet. For more information, or to make a donation through Oct. 21, visit www.ddfl.org/wnt or call 303751-5772.

CAPRICORN - (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20) Much activity is indicated in all forms at this time. Take your time in making decisions and double check all business matters. Your general chart looks extremely good right now.
AQUARIUS - (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19) You have been working very hard and it is about to pay off for you. Your efforts were not in vain and you will be more than surprised by the outcome of it all. PISCES (Feb. 20 - March 20) My advice to you this week is do not be too greedy. Be satisfied with what you have, you really have much more than you realize right at your fingertips. ARIES - (March 21 - April 20) There is a very bright outlook for the sign of Aries coming up soon. Probably a change of ideas will accompany this and you should find it most pleasant. TAURUS - (April 21 - May 21) Allow yourself to be completely enveloped by the wave of social commitments coming your way. New friends, new experiences, a whole new life awaits.
GEMINI - (May 22 - June 21) A friend that you have not encountered for some time will be in your life in the next short while. Enjoy the relaxation that is coming your way with the presence of this person. CANCER - (June 22 - July 22) Business matters may be in a confusing state presently but don’t despair. Tackle the problems one at a time and they’ll be less than you think. LEO - (July 23 – Aug 22) A quiet realistic approach to problems dealing with family matters will give you an insight into what steps to take and what steps not to take. Seek the advice of persons who know the facts. VIRGO - (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23) Everything is looking up sharply for Virgo. The thing to do is take a good look at your work pattern. You are wasting your time on trivial things. You are very capable of a lot more than you have cut out for yourself.
