Honor bestowed By Tom Barry On Oct. 17, Cherry Hills Village resident and Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen was honored in a special ceremony on the south end of Sports Authority Field at Mile High. About 60 invited guests attended the unveiling of a statue sculptured in Bowlen’s honor. Attendees included Broncos personnel, community leaders and members of the Bowlen family, according to Erich Schubert, a spokesman for the NFL team. “The statue, which was commissioned and financed through a group of community leaders with sponsorship ties to the team, captures Mr. Bowlen is his customary pose on the sideline during Broncos games,” Schubert said. Work on the project began in January by Brian Hanlon, who also sculpted the 27 Ring of Fame tributes at Sports Authority Field, Schubert added. Bowlen’s nine-foot statue is in the center in the Ring of Fame Plaza in front of the team’s massive wildhorses sculpture. The team’s owner, whose battle with Alzheimer’s disease was announced in July, has the distinct honor of being the first NFL owner to attain 300 victories in 30 years. Such accomplishments are inscribed in massive bronze plaques affixed to a curved wall adjacent the sculptures. “Pat has never sought the spotlight and never asked for the accolades during his 31 years as owner of the Broncos,” said his wife Annabel. “It’s very humbling for our family to have Pat receive this recognition for what he has and continues to mean to the Denver Broncos.” Under Bowlen’s ownership and leadership, the team has scored 312

victories, 18 winning seasons, 16 playoff games, 11 division titles and eight conference championships. The Broncos have participated in two World Championships and won two Super Bowls with quarterback John Elway at the helm. “[The statue is] a testament to
the winning culture and first-class standards established by Mr. Bowlen throughout his tenure in Denver,” Schubert said. Last week, the Broncos were recognized as America’s favorite team by the Harris Poll. “Mr. Bowlen,” as the staff and
players fondly refer to him, resigned his day-to-day executive position due to his Alzheimer’s diagnosis, as was announced by his wife in July. Elway, who now serves as the team’s executive vice president of football operations, had his own tribute to Bowlen.
“Pat is a friend and a mentor and is somebody that has clearly made a profound impact not only on the Denver Broncos but the NFL,” he said. “I’m very pleased that tonight he is getting the kind of recognition that he so deserves, but has never sought out.”
Office politics at the Clerk and Recorder
Challenger says her boss has retaliated, clerk denies
By Peter Jones In an election that has taken office politics to a new level, a staffer in the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s Office claims her opponent has retaliated against her in ways few political rivals could – the opponent is also her boss. Joan Lopez, a 12-year office employee and the Democratic nominee for clerk and recorder, is seeking to unseat incumbent Republican Matt Crane, the office’s former deputy of elections who was appointed to the elected position last year. Although Lopez had earlier
Matt Crane
Joan Lopez
painted a more sanguine picture of the inner-office rivalry, she has more recently complained – including during public forums with Crane – that she has been effectively punished for her candidacy. “It hadn’t been an issue before, but apparently it’s huge,”
she said. “In the end, I’m trying to take my boss’s job. I can understand the hostility.” According to Lopez, that enmity has included pulling her out of her longtime public-service role in favor of paperwork in a back office and a series of recent reprimands after a dozen
years of exemplary feedback for her work. “In 12 years, I’ve had outstanding reviews and ever since I filed for public office I’ve been pulled into the [supervisor’s] office probably every two weeks and written up and talked to about something,” she said. Lopez says the array of complaints against her – all of which she denies – range from campaigning while on the job to showing disrespect to her coworkers. “I was told in one meeting that I rolled my eyes at someone and giggled,” Lopez said. “I was pulled into the office for having a pop can on my desk. Are you kidding me? I love my Continued on page 6

Digging into oil and gas South Metro Chamber group offers ‘Fracking 101’
I
By Peter Jones n light of such issues as hydraulic fracturing, environmental sustainability and dependence on foreign oil, everyone has questions about that black, gooey and sometimescontroversial chemical substance that keeps the nation moving. “The funny part about it is when I started in the industry, I had no flippin’ clue about oil,” said Howard Rough, vice president of sales for RockPile Energy Services. “I thought it just boiled out of the ground like when Jed becomes a millionaire. A lot of people in the world, including this country, still believe that’s how it is.” Even some members of the South Metro Denver Chamber, an organization that is often in the thick of energy politics, had questions about an industry with a $45.3 million annual impact on Colorado’s economy. Jeff Keener of Halo Branded Solutions, a firm more geared to energizing business promotions than promoting the energy business, was among the chamber’s active business leaders who realized they had more questions than answers about oil. Enter the chamber’s Rocky Mountain Energy Council, a coalition of lay members of the business-support organization who say they are dedicated to exploring all aspects of – and all potential answers to – the energy
questions of our time. “We were very curious to know more about oil and gas, the pros and cons, the white elephants in the room, all those types of things,” Keener told a meeting of interested chamber members on Oct. 8. “We started asking questions. We asked questions about hydraulic fracturing, about deep-well injection, about all those things.” Hydraulic fracturing – more commonly called fracking – quickly boiled to the surface in that oilfield of information. The controversial practice has spurred debate everywhere from city council chambers to editorial pages. The technique involves underground rock being ruptured by a pressurized cocktail of water, sand and chemicals, retrieving oil and natural gas that would otherwise be obstructed. Contrary to popular assumption, fracking has been a popular industry practice for decades in Colorado. Though as Rough pointed out at the recent fracking primer at the chamber, the technology has greatly improved, making the technique less of fishing expedition and more like a precision attack. “You drill five wells from that one location … so you’re covering miles around you from one site,” he said. “They could go 10,000 feet deep, turn it 90 degrees and go 10,000 feet that way, that way or that way with accuracy. … They can drill to my office in downtown Denver and hit my desk with the drill.” So where in the past you might have had 100 wells, you would

have just one. As for what some have considered the ominous concoction of chemicals that make it all possible, Rough points out that water is the main ingredient. “We use just a little bit of chemical. We blend that together,” he said. “The only potential danger is spilling acid on the surface in its rawest form – no different than … acid you put in your
swimming pool. It’s the same stuff. The acids that we use turn neutral when they hit the ground.” In other words, not much danger, by Rough’s estimation. Although oil companies had long resisted revealing the particulars of their chemical cocktails, a compromise was eventually struck in which the businesses would disclose the ingredients, but not the percentages. As for the water that constitutes fracking’s most voluminous constituent, Rough downplays the significance in context of Colorado’s drought history. “The total water use for all fracturing in the state of Colorado … will be less than 1 percent, more like 0.1 percent,” he said. Such assurances are unlikely
to persuade fracking’s staunchest critics, who have worked to implement bans on the practice, such as in Longmont, leading to lawsuits. In August, U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, D-Boulder, withdrew his controversial statewide ballot initiatives that restricted fracturing in exchange for the withdrawal of pro-fracking measures and the establishment of a blueribbon panel. Environmentalists continue to be concerned about issues ranging from earthquakes to noise pollution to drinking water contamination. In Colorado, the issue is regulated by the Colorado Oil and Gas Commission, which has worked to limit preemptive actions by municipalities.

Zombies crawl Main Street in annual ritual The lively Historic Downtown Littleton area is seldom dead anymore – except one afternoon a year when the living departed make a pilgrimage for the annual Zom-
bie Crawl and Pig Roast. True to its name, about 600 brain-oozing corpses ambled down Main Street for an hour on Oct. 4 before winding up in the Reinke Bros. parking lot for a messy pork meal as promised by the event’s title. Some observers had sought “front row” seats at the windows of area res-
taurants to watch the “parade,” though at least one motorist was not amused by the ghoulish goingson that often stop traffic at Main’s lightless crosswalk. “We follow all the traffic rules,” noted Greg Reinke, president of Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants.

Election time
By Robert Sweeney
Broncos, South Suburban – all winners I’m still basking in the glory of Sunday’s night’s Broncos victory over the San Francisco 49ers – what a smashing victory. Congratulations go to Pat Bowlen and John Elway for having the brains and money to hire Peyton Manning as the dark horse quarterback. Injured and aging, the Broncos took a chance that he would recover and play again. And play he did, leading us to a Super Bowl and now a history making 509 historic passing record set Oct. 19. He will move the bar very high before he retires from his career here in Denver. It will be interesting to see if he stays here or moves back to Tennessee; maybe becoming a senator
Only two weeks to go and the election will be history. Ballots were mailed last week and already thousands are being returned to County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane, who is doing an excellent job of administering the election here in Arapahoe County. He certainly deserves a “yes” vote in his re-election bid. As stated recently, Arapahoe County should do away with term limits of key county officers who do such a good job of administering the various departments. It takes years to learn the ropes of these individual offices and term limits just shouldn’t pertain to some of our hard-working county positions. A good example is our excellent Sheriff David Walcher, who is such a good sheriff and so well qualified to defend, protect and serve the 600,000 residents of Arapahoe County. He should be retained in office as long as voters wish him to serve. Same with Treasurer Sue Sandstrom, Assessor Corbin Sakdol and Coroner Kelly LearKaul. County commissioners probably should be re-elected every four years and some of our current
leaders should seek higher state office, like Nancy Sharpe. She’s been a successful mayor and county commissioner; who knows, maybe governor next? We do urge Cherry Hills Village voters to re-elect Mayor Doug Tisdale for another term. He’s worked very hard to represent the city and Cherry Hills deserves such a good leader and public servant. He has a big heart and really cares for people, a good man. We would urge a “Yes” vote for a small tax increase for South Suburban Parks and Recreation District that encompasses 135,000 residents living in Littleton, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Lone Tree, Bow Mar, Centennial west of I-25 and portions of Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe counties. South Suburban takes in 3,830 acres of open spaces and parkland and 88 miles of trails. They manage and maintain 60 playgrounds, four recreation centers, seven pools, 120 multi-purpose fields, 95 softball/baseball fields, 50 tennis courts, two ice rinks, four golf courses and this list goes on and on. This is a great asset for the public where everyone benefits or at least should. Under the outstanding leadership of Executive Director David Lorenz, South Suburban Parks and Recreation has continued to meet the growing needs for outdoor ac-
tivities and space for fast growing populations in our huge area. Large numbers of our local population use South Suburban facilities. In 2013, the monthly participation of each recreation center was: Buck 20,000, Goodson 40,000, Lone Tree 30,000 and Sheridan 10,000. Exercise is the very best medicine for all of us and South Suburban is the top shelf in the medicine cabinet. Let’s vote to win the battle of the bulge. Lastly, all of the statewide issues on this year’s ballot were initiated by citizen petition. None of the measures were referred by the legislature and the two that were proposed by petition are bad ideas to place in the Colorado Constitution. Vote NO on the Amendments. Amendment 67 – Personhood – Vote NO Amendment 68 – Casinos – Vote NO Proposition 104 – School Negotiations – Vote NO Proposition 105 – GM Labeling – Vote NO Vote YES for all of the judges. Most of us have no idea what is happening, but America is a nation that believes in the rule of law, so let’s support our judges and judicial system.
Doug Tisdale for Mayor of Cherry Hills Village and Lisa Pinto for City Council District 4 REMARKS
By Mort Marks
NO on Amendments 67, 68, and NO on Propositions 104 and 105 Let’s first look at why I’m suggesting “NO” votes on the proposed Amendments and Propositions — No on Amendment 67— 67 proposes to amend our state’s Constitution to include a provision stating that our state’s wrongful death statutes must include unborn human beings but does not define who is an: “unborn human being” and does not define “person” or “child.” Another reason to Vote “NO” on 67 is because it basically allows government employees, government committees and government office holders to make
health care decisions that belong to you as an individual and to your own personal family. No on Amendment 68 — 68 has had numerous commercials, both pro and con, but basically The Villager’s position is “NO” because it would turn Aurora’s race track into a large gambling casino without the local communities’ approval and if passed, our state’s Constitution would be fully amended. No on Proposition 104 — 104 would require our state’s local school boards to negotiate collective bargaining only in an open meeting. Since we do elect our school board members to decide what is best for our schools, they should have our approval to decide for themselves where, when and how such negotiations should take place. If this proposition passes, our elected school board members would no longer have the flexibility to negotiate, for example, with teachers’ unions privately over many important school employment issues that would affect us all. No on Proposition 105 — 105 is basically a complex food labeling proposal that would impose very new and large costs on our state’s farmers and food companies, which in turn would increase a normal families grocery bill by hundreds of dollars each year. Don Ament, our state’s highly respected former agricultural
commissioner, has stated that he “strongly opposed Amendment 105 because its so-called ‘GMO’ labeling regulations would require many foods to be labeled as genetically engineered, even when they’re not.” Now to Cherry Hills Village, which is having its own local election and although I am not a citizen of the Village, I have been impressed with Mayor Doug Tisdale’s proven ability to be both a highly competent mayor and a very professional one. Mayor Tisdale has proven his competence by maintaining the Village’s property tax rates while increasing its sales tax revenues by promoting the six businesses in the Village. He also worked without state’s Division of Transportation to make the traffic flow through the Village safe and uncongested. Professionally, Mayor Tisdale successfully served his Village citizens as an important member of organizations that affected them. He was the Policy Committees chairman of our state’s Municipal League, and also the executive officers for DRCOG (Denver Regional Council of Governments). Some other important organizations that Mayor Tisdale devoted his time to were the Metro Mayors Caucus, South Metro Fire and Rescue Authority, the Denver Aerotropolis, and also he worked
with the Public Works Facility Relocation that negotiated with Denver Water. In addition to all those services, Mayor Tisdale vigorously encouraged public art displays in the Village while collaborating with neighboring communities to control growth and to preserve the semi-rural qualities of live in the Village. Mayor Tisdale deserves to be re-elected! When it comes to the election of City Council member for the Village, its citizens are fortunate to have someone with Lisa Pinto’s background and willingness to serve by running for District 4’s open seat. Lisa Pinto has been practicing law since 1994 and just worked in the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office where she focused on fighting crime. Since Lisa’s three children attend school in the Village, you know she will work hard to familiarize all citizens with any local sex offenders, while working closely with CHVPD to both reduce speeding and to crack down on solicitors and con artists. A vote for Lisa Pinto will help elect a council member who is watching the Village budget while voting responsibility for spending taxpayers money.

Centennial partners in broadband initiative City voters OK’d ballot issue last year By Peter Jones This week, Centennial officially joined Next Century Cities, a new initiative of 31 U.S. cities that emphasize what they say is the importance of leveraging gigabit-level Internet as a way to attract new businesses, create jobs – and even improve healthcare and education, organizers say. Last year, Centennial voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question that allowed the city to lease its 48 miles of publicly owned fiber-optic lines – previously used only for traffic-signal operations and connecting public facilities – to private cable and Internet companies. The launch event for Next Century Cities took place Santa Monica, Calif. this week with Centennial Mayor pro tem Ken Lucas representing Centennial.
“As we all know, technology is continuously evolving at a very rapid pace and it is important for the City of Centennial to be at the forefront of these technological improvements so our residents, institutions and businesses have the ability to compete in a global environment,” Lucas said. Next Century Cities was established to support communities and its elected leaders in efforts to access fast, affordable and reliable Internet. Participating cities will also work with each other to sort through the morass of technical information. According to Lucas, access to telecommunication services and ultra-fast broadband has become a key priority when businesses
decide where to locate new facilities. “Since Centennial is located in a very competitive neighborhood of cities, we want to be at the top of their lists,” the mayor pro tem said. “We hope to accomplish these goals by finding the right private-sector partners who will provide the technical and financial expertise to get us there.” Passage of Centennial’s 2013 ballot question freed the homerule city from the constraints of a state statute that prevents municipalities from entering the telecommunications market, unless the city’s voters decide otherwise. The wording required Centennial to lease its $5 million in fiber optic lines on a nonexclusive basis, meaning the city cannot exclude any cable or Internet companies from leasing Centennial’s fiberoptic infrastructure. Cherry Hills Village will decide a similar ballot question on Nov. 4.

I’m a drop-dead Conservative Republican and I support the re-election of Governor Hickenlooper I know, I know – he’s a (gulp!) Democrat. Listen, I think we should look beyond politics this time. We’ve got some leaders who make a great speech, and they’re ‘pretty’ – but they don’t do a darn thing! This man has done a lot for our STATE: • Eliminated 8000 unnecessary business regulations • Added 200,000 jobs • Moved Colorado’s rank to “the fastest growing economy in the U.S.” • And he’s done it with a balanced budget each year! Governor Hickenlooper says, “We’ve done it by working together – not attacking each other” (I like that). He’s earned our support – even us Republicans. Mark Van Loucks Cherry Hills Village, CO

Turleys host ice cream social for Walker Stapleton
By Scottie Taylor Iverson With a celebration of Indian summer, Kathy and Tim Turley opened their Centennial home for an “Ice Cream Social in support of Walker Stapleton.” The additional host committee included Nancy Doty and Wayne Brady, Suzanne and Cliff Dodge, Jewell and Nolan Hargrave, Theresa and Nick Martens, Nancy and George Sharpe, Lynne and Bo Cottrell, Rhonda and Rick Gillett, Ken Lucas, Lucy and Larry Strohl, and Dr. Richard A. Oliver. Businessman Stapleton is known for his strong leader-
ship and vision for the future having led several companies and serving as CFO. Duties of the office of treasurer include investing Colorado’s tax dollars, overseeing the unclaimed property division and serving on the board of the Public Education Retirement Association (PERA). He has high hopes to repair and reform that system and reports that the meetings are contentious. “I believe in this state and my job is to convince people about the importance of economic and fiscal responsibilities. The Dems want to change
the topic. My mission is to go out in the state and talk about the economy in a way it can be understood,” Stapleton said. He continues to press on with transparency. About the polls he said, “It’s a good year for Republicans. The Dems will spend $20 million on negative ads about Cory Gardner. We need to stop allowing the Dems to use their old, tired playbook. What is more important to women than a state that can pay its bills?” Stapleton and his wife Jenna have three children ages 6, 3 and 10 ½ months.
job, but this is a nightmare.” According to Crane, the issues have been far more substantial than a pop can and rolled eyes and all complaints have been corroborated by at least two people. He says Lopez failed to follow appropriate office procedure and state guidelines on several occasions and has not always interacted well with her co-workers. Lopez’s most serious transgression, however, was allegedly campaigning for office while on the job – and Crane says that is what ultimately got her moved from her front counter responsibilities, according to the incumbent clerk. “She was asking fellow employees about their party affiliation,” Crane said. “She basically admitted as much to me at our debate with League of Women Voters. She said the time at the desk was [her] only time to get face time with voters and be able to talk to people. If that doesn’t crystallize the whole thing, I don’t know what does.” According to Crane, the decision to relocate Lopez was not his alone, but came at the recommendation of his opponent’s direct supervisor after consultations with the county’s legal and human-resources departments. “Everything was carefully vetted,” Crane said. “Human resources went out and interviewed the people who had the concerns and this is the recommendation they came back with. I said, treat her no differently than anybody else.” Lopez vehemently denies she campaigned on the job, insisting that the only times her candidacy
has even come up in conversation has been when a customer asked her about it and the subject was quickly changed. Still, she considers the lowering of her office profile to have been deliberate and politically motivated. “I know about the campaign laws and I would not ruin my campaign,” she said of Crane’s office-campaigning allegations. “The only reason I can think of [for being moved] is because this election is about facial recognition and name recognition. No one has ever been punished before by being pulled off the counter.” As for Lopez’s claims of model performance during her 12 years in the office, Crane is limited by personnel policies in his ability to comment, but he says, “I think HR managers would say that her behavior changed when she became a candidate.” Lopez’s ultimate fate may be decided by the Nov. 4 election, according to the Democratic candidate, who believes a case is being built to fire her if Crane wins – not that Lopez regrets taking on her boss in the first place. “I would not change it for the world,” she said. “I can’t sit there and let this office not have a clerk who knows exactly what’s going on in the office.” For Crane’s part, he dismisses any suggestion that Lopez would be fired. “That’s completely absurd. I have more integrity than that,” he said. “As a first-time candidate, I have a lot of respect for the fact that she’s put herself out there. If I were doing that, I’d be setting myself up for a huge lawsuit. I’m not that stupid.”

The common sense candidate
Arapahoe County residents are fortunate to have the opportunity to vote for Martha Karnopp as county commissioner in the coming weeks. Our community could not ask for a better-qualified, intelligent, rational and caring public servant. Martha will seek common sense solutions, which serve the 100 percent, rather than special interests. With so many issues facing our local control state, we need folks like Martha who will listen, think and look out for us. Kathy Underhill Centennial
SSPRD deserves our support
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District to serve our community. It goes without saying that our community is very blessed to have had the foresight to fund and support an organization that gives so much back to us year after year. For our schools, Dave Lorenz, executive director, and the board of directors have led the way in creating grass playfields for each of our elementary schools for programs that support kids, such as soccer, lacrosse, softball, organized sports leagues and so much more. They provide excellent recreational facilities and fields. SSPRD has promoted better student health and wellness programs by helping Littleton Public Schools construct safe and desirable playgrounds for our elementary and middle schools. And, they have developed great safe-to-school walking paths to give our parents, children and teachers a safe and enjoyable place to walk to school and get the exercise we all benefit from. Without a doubt, every investment has to be measured carefully to ensure that we, as a community and taxpayers, are getting a good return on our commitment of resources. In the case
of SSPRD, our investment brings returns to our families and community now and for years to come. My “hat’s off” for their leadership! The will continue to have our faith and trust! They deserve our support. Scott Murphy, Superintendent Littleton Public Schools
A promise by any other name
Here we are with ballots entering mailboxes across the state and a growing list of increasingly grand promises to fill our pockets spouted by Twin River Worldwide Holdings, the company that wants to build a Las Vegas-style casino in our backyard. Suddenly millions for our roads and infrastructure – oddly missing until now – is on the table. What to do with all this largess promised now, at the 11th hour, by the backers of Amendment 68? Reject it for the election eve ploy it is. How dumb do they think we are? Where were these offers before the scheme was hatched by this Rhode Island casino operator to line his pockets by burdening local taxpayers with impacts they cannot afford and do not want? Where was the community involvement in creating this plan in the first place? Where were the community meetings asking local residents how we could all work together to make this a win for our whole community? Where is the support of the education community this measure purports to help? Nowhere, that’s where. If the backers of Amendment 68 can’t answer these questions, and I assure you they can’t, then every voter in the state of Colorado should say“no.” Every voter, whether they live here in our area or in other parts of the state, ought to see the peril in allowing one company to write a golden ticket into our state Constitution. Every voter ought to worry
about how easily this plan could strip our local community of our guaranteed right to vote on whether we want a minimum of 2,500 slot machines our backyard. Every voter ought to question this proposal’s cynical attempt to wrap its bad deal in our K-12 education system. If you haven’t taken a hard look at Amendment 68, I urge you to do so and then vote no. The proof of the assertions I am making are in the plain language of the amendment itself. Unlike the measure’s proponents, I’m not asking you to “just trust me.” Molly Markert Aurora City Councilwoman
Conti’s financial records questioned
Voting has begun but polls indicate many people will not vote. One reason is they are disillusioned with elected officials. In Colorado, people feel that elected officials do not follow the laws they expect us to follow. There is justification for the voters’ cynicism. State Rep. Kathleen Conti has filed false campaign disclosures. She continues to hide her contributions and expenditures from the public despite the fact the state Constitution and state law require all candidates to file truthful and timely reports of contributions and money expended on campaigns. The people passed that amendment in hopes of cleaning up campaigns and adding transparency. There is no transparency if elected officials like Rep. Conti refuse to file timely and truthful reports. On her July 1 report, Rep. Conti reported receiving $525 in contributions in June. After a group of citizens complained, Rep. Conti filed a report Oct. 14, which proves her July report was false. She actually received $5,845 in June. Furthermore, she received a $1,000 contribution in
June from a special interest group. The law says that contribution should have been reported within 24 hours. Conti did not report it until Oct. 14. She has not yet truthfully reported contributions received at a well-advertised fundraiser on Aug. 23, or other contributions received in August and September. And worse, she has not reported thousands of dollars probably spent for yard signs, literature, paid canvassers, handouts at Western Welcome Week, or the cost of renting the hall and food for her August fundraiser. Elected officials are not above the law. It hurts ethical politicians when an official blatantly violates the law to keep the public from knowing how much special interest money they receive, and what they spend to get themselves elected. This must end. Robert Bowen Centennial (I am running against Kathleen Conti for State Representative)

Vote Wayne Williams for secretary of state
Lisa Pinto is a candidate for Cherry Hills Village City Council. Lisa has a background, which makes her the strongest candidate for the open City Council seat in District 4. She was a prosecutor in New York City and then worked for District Attorney George Brauchler at the Arapahoe County DA’s office. Lisa Pinto advocated for her community by fighting crime and preserving a great quality of life. She currently sits on the boards of the Denver Scholarship Foundation and the Juvenile Assessment Center in Arapahoe County, which serve underprivileged youth in our area.

My name is Wayne Williams, El Paso County Clerk and Recorder and nominee for Colorado Secretary of State. Seventeen years ago I first served on the Canvass Board overseeing elections.

evacuate, we ensured the integrity of every ballot. Once ensuring safety, we then completed the vote count. I’m proud that we received national recognition for our efforts. But I’m more proud that we made sure every citizen was able to vote. I work hard to provide great customer service. I run the only motor vehicle office in the state open on Saturdays, and added 12, 24/7 ballot drop off boxes to make it easier for working Coloradans to return ballots—all while being part of the lowest cost per citizen county government in Colorado. I want to continue this great customer service as secretary of state. When Democrats in the San Luis Valley and Republicans in Teller County each faced a challenging election that needed to be run fairly and honestly, they had a choice of anyone in Colorado to help – including all four candidates for secretary of state. I was honored to be the one they trusted for both elections. I want to ensure Colorado’s elections are run fairly. I’ve been trusted by Coloradans in three counties and both parties to do just that. I ask for your vote for Colorado secretary of state. Wayne Williams Colorado Springs

Vote for Martin Walsh in CD-1 A sizeable portion of the readership of The Villager are citizens of Englewood and Cherry Hills Village, falling in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. Voters in CD-1 are desperate for new leadership, having endured Congresswoman Diana DeGette as their representative since 1996. It is time for a change. I am running for Congress as the Republican challenger to Ms. DeGette, hoping to bring a fresh perspective to a district that has been neglected by their Congresswoman for more than a decade. In past elections, Diana DeGette has been re-elected on autopilot. She has barely shown up in her district to campaign and meet with her constituents. I want to urge the citizens of Cherry Hills Village and Englewood to consider an alternative this time: please don’t re-elect someone who hasn’t earned your vote. Our leaders in Washington, D.C., are failing us. A September Gallup poll indicates that the American public’s approval rating of Congress is near an all-time low. Only 14 percent of Americans approve of Congress, while fully 82 percent disapprove. As a nearly two-decade veteran of the U.S. House, Diana DeGette is part of the problem. She is not part of the solution. I am running for Congress because I know that we can do better. I am a 34-year-old private citizen who has proudly never held public office. My wife and I live in Denver. I grew up in Greenwood Village, where my parents still live. I write economic commentary and manage investments for families and foundations; my wife is a teacher in Littleton Public Schools. We believe in the promise of America and we love our home state of Colorado. If elected, I can promise you three things.

First, I will work hard on your behalf and earn your vote. This may sound so simple and obvious, yet our current representative has found life in Washington more exciting than life in Colorado. Congresswoman DeGette’s record on constituent services is legendarily bad. Local media have consistently noted Ms. DeGette’s absence from the Colorado public. When was the last time you saw or heard from your Representative? Second, I will focus on getting things done in a bipartisan manner. Folks are tired of the gridlock and the predictable dysfunction of Washington D.C. Diana DeGette claims to be bipartisan. In the latest session of Congress, Ms. DeGette has voted with the Democratic Party 96 percent of the time. She is the furthest thing from bipartisan. Third, I will work on long-term solutions to fix our country’s fiscal problems. If nothing changes, America is on a path to bankruptcy over the next thirty years. For the first time in American history, we will likely be leaving our children and grandchildren with a lower standard of living and less economic opportunity than our generation. If elected, I will do everything in my power to put us back on track. I ask the readers of The Villager for their vote on Nov. 4. I know we can do better in CD-1.

Re-elect Cherry Hills Village Mayor Doug Tisdale Since living in Cherry Hills Village, we have never seen so much artificial discord over our municipal election. We think it’s an easy decision, and one supported by the facts. Just like The Villager concluded, we think Mayor Doug Tisdale should be re-elected. We have had a number of personal interactions with Mayor Tisdale, which is why we feel compelled to share with fellow Villagers the positive impact that Doug has had in our lives, personally and professionally, serving as our mayor. Mayor Tisdale responded directly and effectively when the life of one of our children was literally “on the line.”Doug not only stepped forward with determination, he made time to rally the troops for our son Ryan who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Most importantly, Mayor Tisdale got the job done. The needed signatures for Ryan’s petition were acquired, and the mission marched on. Obviously, when a mayor becomes involved in a resident’s life (in this case a child’s), it speaks volumes. And Mayor Tisdale does so much more. He professionally represents the Village and addresses issues such as open space, art, traffic issues, property values and property taxes, to name only a few. He also is actively engaged with our surrounding communities so that we, as Villagers, can continue to enjoy the semi-rural lifestyle we take pleasure in. His attention to issues that truly matter is remarkable, including the life of our child and the well being of our family during a very difficult time. Professionally, he favorably impacts our Village. Personally, he touches lives! Recently, we received written political
material containing veiled inferences regarding Mayor Doug Tisdale and his re-election, the kinds of things that could and would be easily dismissed in a candidate debate. It was surprising to see printed in The Villager, “I’m just sorry that no group has stepped forward to arrange a forum,’ said Klasina VanderWerf.”The fact is that a forum was offered by South Metro Denver Chamber, but Mayor Tisdale’s opponent refused the invitation. The need for transparency, without unsubstantiated veiled inferences, is imperative in any election. That is the reason for this letter. Thank you Mayor Tisdale for making Cherry Hills Village not only the No. 1 best suburb of America to live in, but for reaching out a helping hand to individuals at the time they need you most!

Time to add some depth to the Board of County Commissioners County Commissioner candidate for District 2, Martha Karnopp, would add some strong leadership as well as expertise, which would broaden the board’s over all experience. Ms. Karnopp is a fourth generation Coloradoan with leadership experience since her high school days. As and educator and attorney, she brings great experience to a Board that controls how and how much of our tax dollars go where. Her communication skills will improve the communication between the commissioners as well as between the Board and the public they serve. Part of her background was as editor-in-chief of the Land and Water Law Review. She was also among the first 50 women admitted to the bar in Wyoming where she went to college. It is time to add a commissioner to the Board that has a deep interest in the people of this county, especially the elderly and poor. Betty Harris Littleton

Democrats accuse Conti of legal violations State rep erred on campaign-finance reports
By Peter Jones A group of Democrats in state House District 38 have filed a complaint against incumbent Rep. Kathleen Conti for alleged campaign-finance violations. The complaint sent to Conti, Colorado Ethics Watch and The Villager on Oct. 6 says the Littleton Republican has violated Colorado election law by failing to properly disclose campaign contributions and expenditures on at least eight reports. “Neither candidates nor elected officials are above the law,” wrote District 38 constituent Betty Harris, whose letter to Conti was signed by 27 other district residents. “Not following the law reflects badly on the candidates, the parties and the people who vote for such candidates or officials.” Harris, a supporter of Conti’s Democratic opponent, former state Rep. Robert Bowen, outlined a series of discrepancies in the Republican’s campaign-finance disclosures. Those reports detailing contributions and expenditures must be filed regularly by all candidates in accordance with state statutes. Conti, a two-term legislator, says most of the mistakes were either honest errors made by her campaign treasurer or the result
of State’s Office, though not everyone is satisfied. Attorney Luis Toro, director of Colorado Ethics Watch, the state’s nonpartisan elections watchdog organization, considers Conti’s filing errors unusual. Although the violations do not rise to the level of a legal hearing, a two-term representative should have known better, given the repetitive nature of the errors, Toro said. “This is not common. The public deserves to know when candidates are messing up. This is not your garden-variety technical mistake. This is more than that, but we do see there are attempts to fix it,” Toro said.
Late filings Kathleen Conti of a busy campaign staff that has been slow to catch up on reports, which by law can be amended at a later date. “One of the things they stressed [in a training class offered by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office] is that if you’re running out of time and you can’t get all the details in, go ahead and get the report filed because you can always go back and submit an amendment. This is what happened and it just kind of snowballed on her,” Conti said of her campaign treasurer. The campaign corrected the mistakes in a report filed last week with the Colorado Secretary
Most of the complaints centered on delayed reporting of campaign contributions. For example, Conti had reported only two donations totaling $420 for the month of August, even though a campaign fundraiser held that month at the South Metro Denver Chamber raised significantly more. “There were many more contributions that came in, but [the treasurer] did not get them in because she ran out of time,” Conti said. The campaign further neglected to itemize expenditures for the event, such as the amount spent on food and rental of the nonpartisan chamber’s meeting space, an expense admittedly delayed, Conti said.
This is not your garden-variety technical mistake. This is more than that, but we do see there are attempts to fix it. - Luis Toro, director of Colorado Ethics Watch
“I inadvertently got away with the key and I don’t think I got it back and dropped the check along with it until September, so it may have missed the first report after the event,” Conti said. Even so, by Toro’s reasoning, that alone should not have made any difference. “You can’t play games by delaying the bill,” he said. “It would have to be reported when the obligation is incurred.” A campaign check to August’s Western Welcome Week was likewise delayed. Although the missed contributions have since been reported in Conti’s October filing, the candidate said she believed such itemization would not be required
because the event was held more than 30 days before the election – an assertion that Toro says cannot be substantiated in state statutes. Another mistake was rooted in a $600 check written by the campaign. Although Conti’s treasurer had mistakenly reported the expense as a reimbursement to the candidate, the check was actually written to a campaign supporter for his neighborhood mapping services. Had the check been written to Conti, as first reported, itemization would have been required to ensure proper use of campaign funds. Although the information was since corrected, no itemization was included in the treasurer’s initial report – an important point, according to Toro. “The rule about reimbursements is not rocket science,” he said. “This rule has been on the books since when Bernie Buescher was secretary of state. Conti, who has run for office several times, should know. Since that rule came, we’ve seen compliance [from most candidates].” Several of the other complaints against Conti centered on unreported campaign promotional items, though Conti says many of the signs and other objects seen by Harris and other complainants were reused from previous campaigns. “We purchased those signs in 2012. We recycle those because I try to be a good steward of your Continued on page 11

campaign contributions,” the candidate explained.
Uncommon problem
Although it appears Conti’s reports are now in order, Toro says her corrections were not technically filed correctly, as the incomplete reports should have been amended, not merely updated on a later report several months later. “There was a whole lot of never-before-reported contributions and spending,” he said. “The problem with that is if you give money in June and you wanted to see it was properly counted, you wouldn’t expect to see it on a report that was filed in October. You would expect to see it on an amended report.” Toro says such discrepancies are more common on filings by such third-party fundraisers as

political-action committees and 527 organizations.
“It’s pretty rare to see problems like this from a political party or an actual candidate committee,” he said. For Harris’s part, the complainant says she is most interested in accountability and the correction of reporting errors, as opposed to legal action. “I actually hope there are Republicans checking what the Democrats do because they really need to,” she said. “Everyone makes mistakes. One time I even did [in a campaign] and I did go back and amend it.” Conti says she has been less focused on fundraising this year, in general, and admits she did not keep up with the reports as much as she should have. “I have not had the time that I’ve had in previous years to raise money,” she said. “Frankly, I didn’t know if I would need to. I’m not trying to raise money that is not necessary.”

State Sen. David Balmer, R-Centennial, receives the Distinguished Legislative Service Award from the Emergency Medical Services Association of Colorado in front of South Metro Fire Station 42 on Parker Road. Balmer passed two bills in 2014 pertaining to paramedics, firefighters and first-responders. The first elevated the penalty for assaulting an EMS professional to that of assaulting a police officer. The second authorized paramedics and first-responders to treat cats and dogs at the scene of an emergency. Both were signed into law by Gov. John Hicklenlooper. Photo courtesy of Sen. David Balmer
Desperate attempt to save Amendment 68 Submitted by No on 68 Another day, another attempt to manufacture support for the deeply flawed Amendment 68 proposal, one Rhode Island Casino operator’s scheme to line his pockets at the expense of Coloradans. First the campaign attempted to manufacture education community support with misleading ads that they were forced to pull down. Now they’re back with an election season “promise” aimed at buying the support of the communities surrounding their proposed Las Vegas-style casino. Amendment 68 would write a single company, Twin River Worldwide Holdings, into Colorado’s Constitution, allowing them a monopoly in the Denver metro area for their planned Las Vegas-style casino. With ballots arriving in mailboxes this week, proponents have turned their attention to promising Christmas in November to communities that have nearly universally opposed their plans. “Unfortunately, Coloradans are used to hearing Election Eve promises like the one made today by the Rhode Island owners of Arapahoe Park,” said Bill Cadman, chair of the No on 68 campaign. “Elected officials can’t base their decisions on this kind of a ‘promise,’ in part, because it is not legally binding and certainly wouldn’t apply should Twin River Worldwide Holdings choose to sell their Arapahoe Park property to another casino operator. If Mr. Taylor was sincere in his willingness to offset local impacts, he would not have exempted his proposed casino from existing local impact requirements.” Apparently watching their polling numbers sink even lower, the Yes on 68 campaign issued a desperate plea to voters in Arapahoe County and Aurora promising to dump millions into roads, law enforcement and fire services in the area. That’s something the proponents could have guaranteed if they had simply written it into the language of their measure. The proponent’s “promise” to pay already adds up to a fight with Aurora and Arapahoe County as their offer of $34 million for all impacts is well below the $63 million Aurora officials anticipate needing to offset just the infrastructure needs they will have when a minimum of 2,500 slot machines plus table games are added to a currently quiet horse park.

The importance of ‘Being Frank’ Business author shares his straight-shooting secrets By Peter Jones At 28 years old, Richard Bryan found himself at the head of the boardroom of his family’s $12 million – in the rough equivalent in British pounds – car-dealership business in Bristol, England. The fledgling CEO knew he was in over his head – employing 360 people at six locations – but he was not so clueless that he didn’t know a line of bull when he heard it. While earnestly quizzing a longtime worker about oddities in his sales accounts, the employee’s reply raised more questions than answers: We’ve always done it this way. “That was the only reason he could give me for doing something that made no commercial sense whatsoever and normally resulted in us losing money,” Bryan told members of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce last week. The newly crowned leader at Bryan Brothers may have been young, but he wasn’t stupid. He knew he would need help – maybe even an older, wiser mentor – if he was going to keep the family business – and the family – functional. “We were losing $3.5 million a year,” he said. “I managed to put my ego to one side and go and get some help.” Help came in the form of Frank, an aptly named bloke, who would become the title and chief metaphor in Bryan’s book, Being Frank: Real Life Lessons to Grow Your Business and Yourself. Bryan, a British-born Evergreen resident, spoke Oct. 14 at Colore Italian restaurant at the Englewood Chamber’s Women in Business breakfast. “I didn’t know much at 28, but I did know I couldn’t turn this business around by myself,” Bryan told the local business leaders over breakfast. He said that after interviewing several demanding bad-fit candidates for general manager, he finally hooked up with Frank, an affable chap with a blunt style, and by Bryan’s telling, a thick working-class accent. “What’s the first thing you’d do to stop the losses?” Bryan good-naturedly quizzed Frank, eliciting a brief pause. “Coffee. I quite like coffee,” the deadpan applicant rejoined. OK. Once the brewed beverage had been served, Frank got down to business. “The caffeine kicked into his system and he gave me a brilliant step-by-step plan, not just about what he would do to stop the losses, but how he could put the business back on the road to success,” Bryan said. Although the young CEO had a business degree and had worked for Ford Motor Company for a time, he considered that job interview with Frank to be the start of his real business education. “I had what was sort of a mix of adrenalin and optimism cursing through my body,” he said. “For the first time, I actually believed that we could turn this thing around.” Under Frank’s mentorship, Bryan Brothers went from a

payroll-to-payroll mentality to an ongoing vision to offer the best customer service in the United Kingdom.
Never mind that the dealership was idling at No. 245 of 250 among dealerships. “Some of the staff thought
we were crazy,” Bryan said. “We didn’t just put it on a plaque and hang it behind reception. We actually lived the vision.” Every decision would come back to the customer-service goal. Employee bonuses for customer satisfactions and pizza-beer parties would become the norm as the staff incrementally made its way to No. 1. Frank would not be Bryan’s only out-of-the-box hire. His top seller, Louise, was a highly personable retail clerk – with no previous car-sales experience – who had once sold the Bryans on a $1,000 stroller package for the couple’s first baby. “The reality is she struggled a bit,” Bryan said of his dealership’s first saleswoman. “By the end of the year, she was our top salesperson. The following year, she sold almost 300 cars.” The lesson: Hire people with transferrable skills – and a great attitude. “As long as they reach the end result, don’t worry about it. Don’t
I didn’t know much at 28, but I did know I couldn’t turn this business around by myself. - Speaker and businessman Richard Bryan, author of Being Frank be a meddler,” Bryan said. The bottom line, the authorspeaker says, is to believe in yourself, and in what you can do in business and life, regardless of what anyone else might say to limit you. It was best summed up, perhaps, with one of Frank’s favorite sayings, often spoken in the mentor’s distinctive lilt and rising intonation. “If someone said to Frank, it can’t be done,” Bryan recalled, “he’d say, ‘is that right?’”

Advocates Red Wagon Ball a touching, financial gold mine By Glory Weisberg Advocates for Children is an 18th Judicial District-wide nonprofit providing about 300 Court Appointed Special Advocates, CASAs, a year to represent almost 800 child victims of abuse and/or neglect. They are known for their Red Wagon Ball, held this year at the DTC Marriott. Peggy Rudden is executive director and her leadership has enabled Advocates to grow and stay the course for kids in the district’s Arapahoe, Elbert, Lincoln and Douglas counties for 29 years. Their annual ball has been running for 18 of those years, providing about a third of Advo-
cates’ annual income. This year about 350 guests attended the fundraiser and the energy throughout the evening was electric! Dave Lewien accepted the Speaking Up Award. He is president and founder of Go West IT which is run from its office in Centennial, providing computer network design, and other services to 150 businesses in our region. State Sen. Linda Newell accepted the Friend of Children Award and for good reason. She is considered the children’s champion at the Capitol, repeatedly focusing on child protection, early childhood education and health care, including mental health. She’s also sponsored more than
35 bills in this area with a whopping 99 percent success ratio. She is credited with starting the Child Welfare Training Academy and she is now launching a statewide hotline to serve community needs. She knows how to work both sides of the aisle, she admits and her address during the program had the ballroom glued to her every word. That dinner program began with a lyrical performance by the children’s choir, led by Laura Davis and Scott Vincent. Since children in the Advocates system cannot be identified by their last names, suffice to note that Taylor, Jenna, Leah, Addison, Ella, Avery, Matthew, Alyssa, Lily, Kyra, Anisa, Stephanie, Amy and

Adam’s Camp founder Karel Horney steps down as executive director
Building Potentials is the theme for the Adam’s Camp Celebratory Dinner, Nov. 16, at Glenmoor Country Club. Karel and Bob Horney started Adam’s Camp in 1985 when their son, Adam, was about to start school but needed to use a wheelchair, due to his special needs. Adam had the potential to walk, he just wasn’t there yet. And neither were other children who also had special needs. Fast forward from 1985 to 2014, Adam’s Camp has served 12,000 children and youth and their family members in Colorado and even beyond our state to three other sites in the U.S. While Adam’s Camp will continue its goal to “Realize potentials and develop strengths in young campers,” Executive Director Karel Horney is retiring and she is being honored for the success she spawned, including the effort to create a permanent site for Adam’s Camp at Snow Mountain Ranch, with partner, YMCA of the Rockies, where a new building will rise. Thus the theme of Building Potentials. For information, email sarah@ adamscamp.org or call 303-5638290, ext. 13.

Randy Weeks died last week while in London.

In the June 2013 Villager we noted the creation of the Bobby G Awards, in honor of Bob Garner, a program that honored outstanding achievements by students and educators for performance, design, direction, choreography, technical production and overall production excellence.

Etiquette: Hand Shaking vs. The Fist Bump
Flu season is here and so is enterovirus-68 and perhaps, Ebola too. While avoiding any “shoot from the hip” reactions to these medical cases, isn’t it time to once and for all, stop the habit of shaking hands with strangers you meet? I think, yes, and word coming back to us already is also, yes. While we don’t think we need to start attaching facemasks to the back of our ears or head, simple avoidance of germ spread is logical. When the hand shaking practice began there wasn’t any widespread knowledge of how germs spread and indeed, perhaps no concept then of germs that came about after the use of microscopes led scientists to see these little devils. So now we know to wash our hands when using public restrooms or other places, or dousing our hands in alcohol-based hand wipes or liquids. Even smallfry now know to
sing the “Happy Birthday” song all the way through so they wash their hands long enough to eliminate most bacteria. Then all of us return to our lives and habits that open us to flu and other illnesses. Isn’t there a disconnect here? Bob Dole, who sustained permanent disabling physical damage while in military service, keeps a pen in one hand and something in the other hand to prevent people from grabbing his hands. Then there are others who refrain from the hand shaking due to religious beliefs. Let’s go on the offense and just say you don’t do that, while looking
at the would-be hand shaker in the eye and with a nice smile. Do you have other ideas on how you handle this situation and what do you think of hand shaking in general? Right now, an informal poll is 4 to 1 in favor of ditching handshakes. Fist bumps was mentioned by one event guest last week and one other reader offered another alternative, to have women return to wearing gloves but that leaves out about 90 percent of us women who only have winter gloves in the closet or to those who have or had a debutante who had to have long white gloves for her presentation.

Submitted by IFCS Each year, Inter-Faith Community Services provides two different holiday programs to help neighbors in need. These programs help bring joy and comfort during a stressful time of year. Without them, hundreds of seniors and families would feel further despair and sink further into poverty. Simply put, IFCS works to stop the unyielding stress and hopelessness of poverty. This work only happens though with your support. Here is how to help. Volunteers help distribute 1,300 food and/or gift boxes to families, individuals, and seniors through the for the IFCS Thanksgiving and Holiday enrichment programs. IFCS offers two holiday programs: • In November, Thanksgiving baskets program, a complete Thanksgiving meal with extras • In December, Adopt-A-Family or Senior program, holiday gifts/ clothing and food Last year, 4,077 individuals benefited from IFCS’ Holiday Programs including hundreds of children who received gifts from generous donors. “The holidays can be a dark time for people in need,” said Sandra Blythe-Perry, Inter-Faith Community Services executive director. “Through the support of the community, we are able to create a warm glow in the hearts of neighbors in need. Creating that special moment for a child, individual, family or senior can have a longlasting impact. It can restore hope and help lift the hopelessness that often surrounding poverty. I am so grateful for all the community support we get during this time of year because it truly changes lives with a hand up, not a hand out. Our goal is to restore dignity, respect and selfworth during a special time of year
when others are celebrating their successes.” These programs are essential in helping struggling families manage these annual one-time expenses. Quite often, the one-time expenses can run upwards of several hundred dollars. For families living paycheck to paycheck or seniors on a fixed income, it simply isn’t possible to pay for this. You may be wondering, what is the big deal in missing a Thanksgiving dinner or a holiday gift? Going without these items is a huge emotional burden. It creates a further separation between those who have and those who have not. Simply skipping these events puts a real mental burden on these families in need and can lead to long-term depression issues. It is part of the spiraling effect of poverty. When these families miss out on these events, it deepens their state of despair. Through the community’s generosity, IFCS is a beacon of hope during the stressful holiday season. This means IFCS is able to provide a Thanksgiving meal to multiple hundreds of families this November. In December, IFCS puts the joy in a child’s heart with gifts for them and their families. They also help seniors with gifts and food that lifts their spirits. Join IFCS this year as they aim to provide every one of their clients a hand up, not just a hand out during the holidays. During the next several months, IFCS needs the community’s support through financial and food donations. There is also a need of volunteers to help collect and distribute food and clothing. Find out more on how you can make a difference by visiting www.IFCS.org or by calling 303-789-0501.

Bike MS shatters fundraising record Colorado-Wyoming Chapter, National MS Society surpasses $4 million
The Colorado-Wyoming Chapter, National MS Society’s Newmont Bike MS, presented by Point B set a fundraising record this year, raising more than $4 million. The two-day, 150-mile ride took place June 28 – 29. The funds raised support Chapter programs and resources that help more than 100,000 people affected by MS in Colorado and Wyoming, and the Society’s 380 promising research projects worldwide. “We are grateful beyond words
for every single person who supported Bike MS and the strong generosity of the community,” said Kristin Gibbs, vice president of development for the Chapter. “Our thanks go out to our thousands of Bike MS cyclists and all the donors, sponsors, and volunteers whose support led to this remarkable feat. This is a concrete reflection of the unwavering commitment to finding a cure that will end MS. “A new fundraising threshold has been set and we look forward to hosting another safe, wellsupported and successful ride in 2015.” The cause and cure of MS remain unknown, but thanks in part to every mile ridden, there
are now 11, FDA-approved treatments available for remitting/relapsing MS where none existed just over two decades ago. “Bike MS participants are staying the course and continue to elevate the fundraising bar to ensure advancements continue to defeat this disease. The next frontier is to develop therapies that can stop progressive MS, treatments that can reverse damage caused by MS and ultimately finding a cure so everyone lives in a world free of MS,” Gibbs said. The Chapter’s 30th Bike MS ride is slated for June 27 – 28, 2015. For more information on multiple sclerosis, visit www.cure MSco-wy.org.

Women’s Development Association’s Fashion Passion IV benefits women and children in Pakistan
Josna Azim travels from Pakistan to deliver keynote address It was a full day when Women’s Development Association staged its fourth annual Fashion Passion that included the Hoopla Bazaar for beautiful and unique holiday gifts, Brad Bergford at the piano, a serenade by Honorary Chair Mary Louise Lee, music by DJ Randall Erkelens, volunteer models from the community, child models from Wilhelmina with hair and makeup by design team J Beverly Hills led by Ted Medina. If that wasn’t enough – new this year was the opportunity to sponsor a woman of choice for a year at $150, whose progress report from the Life Impact Classes would be shared with the sponsor. Karen Overton and Hannah Griffiths of Greenwood Village founded WDA in 1997. What a difference a chance meeting can make. The two met Josna Azim at a Middle Eastern Prayer Seminar in Cypress. CWDA (Christian Women’s Development Association) was born. In 2000, CWDA and WDA founded the first literacy class for 25 women. WDA focuses on Pakistani women who are consistently the victims of physical and mental violence. The literacy rate among these women is as low as 12 percent. Josna reported that because of the outstanding relationship across the seas: 4,800 women have been educated in Life Impact Classes, 150 children have a new destination for their lives, 500 women have benefitted through the micro credit loans, 60 women have learned basic computer skills, 50 teachers have been trained for adult literacy, 12 teachers have been trained for primary education and there’s a new awareness on health issues (especially reproductive health) and human rights that has been accomplished. Josna is hands-on doing all the managing, recruiting and training for the classes. Josna expressed gratitude for all the support. “It is through our mutual efforts that we can bring help and life to the Pakistani women. All these things the Pakistani women need most. Together, we will fulfill our duty of cherishing every human life. I wish to thank all of you, our sponsors and donors, for your fervent prayers, your heart and your help in this endeavor,” she said. Women’s Development Association is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Its mission: To encourage, train and support women and children in developing nations in literacy and basic math, health education and economic empowerment.

Scott Murphy
Littleton superintendent to retire Murphy will step down at end of school year
By Peter Jones Littleton Public Schools Superintendent Scott Murphy will retire at the end of the school year, he announced Oct. 9 during a meeting of the LPS Board of Education. The decision comes in the wake of continued scrutiny of the Arapahoe High School shooting, which has kept school officials busy and has attracted national attention and controversy. “I was looking at doing this earlier, but with all of the events of this year, I decided to wait,” Murphy told the board. The school district’s communications office had not returned a request for an interview with Murphy at press time. His retirement will be effective June 15, 2015. The board will begin working with a recruitment firm to find a new superintendent before the start of the 2015-16 school year, board members said. Murphy has been with LPS for more than 15 years, serving as chief financial officer and assistant superintendent before being named superintendent in 2006. Murphy began his career as a social worker in Boulder and Larimer counties in the late 1970s. He also served as an evaluation analyst and a supervisor of community-based education services for the Colorado Department of Education. He entered the world of school finance in 1981 as the budget director for Aurora Public Schools. He later served as the executive director of finance and auxiliary services for the Brighton 27J School District. Under Murphy’s leadership, LPS has been ranked first in academic performance in the metro area in reading, writing, math and science. The district’s high schools have also seen the highest graduation and lowest dropout rates of any in the metro area. Former Arapahoe County Commissioner John Brackney, who as the onetime president of the South Metro Denver Chamber often appeared with Murphy and whose daughters have attended LPS schools, praised the outgoing leader. “Scott is an extraordinary leader and he is deeply appreciated for his service to our community,” Brackney posted on his Facebook page.

DCPA Alliance members enjoy VIP performance of ‘The Unsinkable Molly Brown’
M
By Glory Weisberg olly Brown is famous for her legendary image created when she moved from back East to Louisville/ Leadville during the silver mining days that became the gold mining days, arriving by foot for an overnight stay and on her way to Denver. She didn’t get there directly and thus begins the legend of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, the adjective referring to her survival after the Titanic sank. This musical rendition of the always just about good Molly, who was always full of spit and vinegar and determined to fit in wherever she was. No doubt, some present-day Colorado arrivals share some of Molly’s opinions and perhaps that’s why the legend is so appealing, especially put to music. The upper level, VIP supporters of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts annual productions gathered a sold out crowd of 99 DCPA Alliance members to the Oct. 16 performance at the Stage Theater where’s there are no bad seats, where the stage floor has sections that drop below deck so to speak, loaded up with new props and rising up to the stage. Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons chaired the VIP evening, that began with a seated dinner in the Seawell Ballroom before the 7 p.m. performance. Among VIP night guests were Cindi and Keith Burge, Kay and Jim Burke, Arlene Mohler Johnson and Don Johnson, Lisa Daniel-Johnson, Margot Gilbert Frank and Allan Frank, Beverlee Henry and Bob Fullerton, Nancy Koontz, Jay and Kristina Davidson, Judith Newman and Jim Bien, Stephanie Odak, Terri and Al Fisher, Faye and Dr. Reggie Washington,

Hang Hang Hangon on onfor for foraaaWild Wild WildTime Time Time Annual Manitou Springs Coffin Races set for Oct. 25
By Cathleen Norman alloween week means it’s time for the Emma Crawford Coffin Races in the fun, funky and picturesque town of Manitou Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak. The event weekend, Oct. 24-25, wraps around the Saturday races – 70 teams each with its wheeled hand-made “coffin” dashing down Manitou Avenue to the finish line. The event starts first with a parade at noon, consisting of vintage hearses, then the decorated coffins and their race entourage teams. Judges during the parade decide on the Best Emma, best race entourage and best coffin. Then, the races start around 12:30 p.m. Coffins-on-wheels speed down the avenue two at a time, each with their outrageously costumed team. The timed racers speed 585 feet to cross the finish line at the roundabout near Soda Springs Park. First, second and third place trophies for fastest race speed; which has been 23 to 25 seconds in past years. As you can imagine, the trophies are not normal brass or bronze, but handmade and different every year, of course featuring a coffin or Halloween theme. Of the 70 teams, six “spots” are reserved for five local fire department teams and the El Paso Wildands Fire team. This started in 2012, the year that the Waldo Canyon Fire forced evacuation of every Manitou Springs resident just after the midnight hour on June 23 turning it into a ghost town. The costumed “theme teams” add to the kooky fun. You might see teams dressed as blue Smurfs, or as zombies clad in hospital scrubs; teams wearing red longjohn-underwear or tie dye T-shirts and dread locks... Harlem Globe Trotters, side-burned Elvises, bearded-camouflage-geared Duck Brothers, spotted Dalmatians… clowns, gnomes, tuxedos, togas and of course, Day of the Dead faces and array of painted skeletons. So, who is the mysterious
H
Emma Crawford honored by all this frivolity and frolicking? Emma was born in Massachusetts on March 24, 1863. She showed an extreme talent for music from a very early age, taught by her mother, Madame Jeanette Crawford, a pianist and music teacher. By age 12, Emma was giving piano lessons and performing public recitals of Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann and Wagner in Boston accompanied by a renowned violinist and cellist. She herself mastered violin, viola, cello and mandolin as well. Her obituary noted she was “a musician of rare power and skill... said to have acquired her remarkable masterly control of the piano from spirit instruction and is said to have never taken a lesson at mortal hands in her life.” Sadly, Emma was sickly from girlhood, which brought her to Colorado. She probably suffered from tuberculosis, like so many others who arrived in the Pikes Peak region. Emma and her mother moved to Manitou Springs in 1889 “seeking the cure” of the local mineral springs and fresh mountain air. For a short while, her health improved. She enjoyed hiking, sometimes wearing a red dress, and once even dared to climb to the top of Red Mountain. She had a gentleman friend, William Hildebrand – some say he was her fiancée – who was an engineer from New York who was working on the Pikes Peak Cog Railroad. Alas, Emma’s health declined and she died on Dec. 4, 1891. Her burial service was five days later in the family parlor with her mother playing piano pieces. Her wish to be buried on top of Red Mountain required 12 pallbearers working in two shifts to carry the casket to the summit. The story gets a little murky and different sources vary; apparently the body was moved to the west mountain slope for construction of the Red Mountain Incline that opened in 1912. Emma showed up in 1929: two boys were playing and found a human skull. A casket nameplate found nearby confirmed that Emma’s remains had somehow come down the mountain. Emma was buried, a third time, in a Manitou Springs cemetery in an unmarked

The heritage society put a gravestone on it nine years ago. The only known historic portrait of Emma Crawford is in the possession of the Pikes Peak Library Archives. It shows a demure
brunette lass gazing dreamily off to the side. It was said, in her day, Emma connected with the spirit world as the source of her tremendous musical talent – she played piano, violin, viola and cello; her sister was an accomplished musician as well. The Emma Crawford weekend kicks off with big fireworks at 8:30 p.m., Oct. 24, visible from anywhere in town. Also that evening the Manitou Springs Heritage Center is showing horror show films. Those seeking something spookier on Friday night can attend the Emma Crawford Wake at the Miramont Castle. ($40 /person; www.miramontcastle.org). If you dare to attend you will be treated to a viewing of Emma reclining in her casket and a sumptuous Victorian buffet dinner, as well as mingling with costumed personages from Colorado and Manitou Springs’ past. After the races, Saturday evening, the “Ghost Stories of Old Manitou” Walking Tours feature chilling stories of the town’s paranormal past. Tours run every 15 minutes from 5:30 – 9 p.m. Tickets are $12, advance purchase recommended (719-6851454). Also that evening the Iron Springs Chateau melodrama the-
ater on Ruxton Avenue will show the Rocky Mountain Horror Show film in all its glory accompanied by the Chateau players. Leslie Lewis, president of the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce explains how the Emma Crawford Coffin Races started in 1995 when “a group of Manitou residents and business owners were sitting around talking about ways to increase business in Manitou Springs during the off season and draw people into town.” “It started as a Halloween idea to celebrate Emma’s coffin coming down into town,” said Lewis. The fun, quirky Halloween heritage event quickly caught on, growing from a dozen coffins to 70 this year. Coffin teams first consisted of four “mourners” but now “some teams as big as 12 people help create their atmosphere around their coffin.” Coffin racers pay a registration fee of $50 a team, which helps fund the event. This event is a great kick-off to Halloween with wacky spooky fun for everyone. “It’s nice to celebrate our heritage,” says Leslie. “Emma didn’t want people mourning for her.”

Littleton Adventist Hospital prepares for Ebola ‘We never stop planning’
By Tom Barry Littleton Adventist Hospital says it is prepared to handle any Ebola patients who may walk in the doors. “The first thing we would want to know is ‘Did you travel to west Africa?’ Then we would want to know all the signs and symptoms,” said Cindy Thistel, the hospital’s manager of Infection Control and Prevention. “[Centers for Disease Control] is learning a lot more too – and as they learn stuff, they’re jumping on it and making changes.” Thistel said there have been almost daily conference calls with the CDC. “We will take our leadership from them … and we’re trying to tie it all together,” she said. “All associates have received information regarding our developing plans specific to Ebola that are modified as we receive updates from the CDC. Every single associate in every department and every physician is regularly updated. … This is a continuous thing. We never stop planning for this to happen.” In the event that an incoming patient has a temperature of 100.4 or higher, a nurse would immediately place a mask on the individual, Thistel said. The patient would then be taken to a private room and be seen by a doctor while the staff assesses the potential level for an Ebola infection. The staff also has incorporated protocols for family or friends who may have brought the patient into the hospital. “We’re trying to think of every single angle,” Thistel said. “From the very beginning, we felt that there should not be a lot of [staff] going in and out. We would limit the number

of individuals [caring for the patients].” Texas Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas had 70 staff members in contact with Thomas Duncan, who had the first CDC-confirmed case of Ebola. Rick Boyer, Littleton Adventist Hospital’s director of security and emergency preparedness, has been working closely with other hospital staff on the facility’s readiness to handle a similar situation. “We look at anything and everything that could happen,” he said “This type of situation would fit into multiple annexes within our emergency operations plan.” For Thistel’s part, she says she has no fear of contracting Ebola due to her understanding of the transmission process – even though concentration of the disease in the body fluid makes Ebola highly contagious. “Preparation doesn’t just start with Ebola. Preparation has been going on in this hospital since before 2005,” she said. “Good hand washing is the cornerstone of infectionprevention for everyone.”
The first reported case of Ebola in west Africa was noted by CDC last March. Today, more than 4,600 people in several African countries have died with thousands more contracting it. The disease has a mortality rate of 70 percent. This week, CDC announced new protocols, making mandatory that health care workers wear protective gear that does not expose any skin. On Sept. 30, the first CDC-confirmed case of Ebola was diagnosed in Dallas when Duncan contracted the disease. He had traveled from west Africa to the United States and died shortly after his diagnosis. “Ebola is a rare and deadly disease that is spread through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person who is sick with or died from Ebola,” a CDC fact sheet says, noting the disease originates from “bush meat” from bats, monkeys, cane rats and antelope. “It is often smoked, dried or salted and considered a treat to some, a main food source to others.”

Centennial Airport faces the future Part II of III By Jan Wondra There don’t appear to be many residents of Arapahoe and Douglas counties without an opinion about the impact of Centennial Airport on its neighbors. But those opinions appear to vary widely, depending upon where one lives, how much noise impact has been experienced and whether one has any direct contact with the airport for business or recreational reasons. The airport has had between 3,000 and 4,000 noise complaints in the past year. The introduction of the new monitoring system, which is still in beta test, will turn general complaints like “It’s not even 6 a.m. on Sunday morning and a big plane just took off right over our house,” (which this reporter experienced a few weeks ago) into specific information. As of the end of July, the four areas with the highest level of complaints were Englewood/unincorporated Arapahoe County at 20 percent, Centennial at 19 percent, Greenwood Village at 17 percent and Littleton at 14 percent. The launch of a $1.5 million beta test airport noise monitoring system by the Federal Aviation Administration will turn what had been citizen-registered complaints into statistical information. What may be obscured by this positive step are the social and economic decisions underlying the noise pollution and what they mean for the future. Noise is the most obvious side affect for the neighborhoods surrounding the 1,460-acre airport. “What I want to know is who decides how much noise we have
Is noise another name for progress?

Centennial Airport is balancing plans for major growth with the need to respond and manage noise complaints from its neighbors. Courtesy photo to endure,” said Bette Todd, District 3 Greenwood Village City Council member and a member of the Centennial Airport Round Table, which was created in 2009 to address growing noise issues. The district she represents has experienced higher noise because it lies under the northern takeoff route. “This entire system was paid for by the FAA and I think it took too long. But now at least we’ll have good data to use to encourage steps to reduce the impact on noise on residents,” Todd said. While airplane noise near any airport must be managed, Centennial Airport has an extenuating circumstance. It sits at 5,880 feet above sea level. Because it is less than 35 miles from Denver International Airport, which holds what is called a Class B airspace, its location puts a lid on operations for takeoffs and landings at Centennial.

Planes have exactly 1,617 feet above ground level in which to operate until out from under the DIA lid, but have to be 1,000 feet above a residential neighborhood. Complaints about night noise have been growing. As of the end of July, 34 percent came from the City of Centennial alone. “Our citizens have experienced increased noise levels at early and late hours,” said Keith Gardner, District 2 Centennial City Council member and also a member of the Round Table. “I hope this new system can help us document the worst offenders so we can get some relief.” “It is true that we tell pilots to set up for flight landings and takeoffs over the major freeways, C-470 and I-25, to fly over fewer homes,” said Michael Fronapfel, deputy director of Planning & Development. “We try our best to minimize the noise. The tower is run by the Federal Avia-
tion Administration, not by us. They set the flight paths, they are in charge of the traffic, and at the end of the day, the pilots are in control.” “The FAA is phasing out Stage I and Stage II jets by 2015,” said Scott Drexler, Centennial Airports Noise and Planning specialist. “This should help reduce noise. The industry is moving back toward jet traffic and more are being based here. What we are hearing from the Round Table and citizens is that it is not higher noise from a single plane, its the frequency of flights over an area that is irritating. And for us, that is related to our flight ceiling. We’re working on better communication with the public. The Round Table did a noise abatement brochure and there will be other materials as well.” The airport will need to demonstrate sincere follow-through on noise control, because the airport growth plans for the next few years

are major. “Having just recovered to our 2008 flight levels, we plan to be over 500,000 flights by 2020,” said Fronapfel. “The largest portion of our revenue, 55 percent, is fuel sales for the planes,” said Fronapfel. But this is not to say that Centennial Airport relies only on the flights themselves. “People don’t realize that the airport is self-sustaining,” said Fronapfel. “Yes, land use is important. There is more than an airport operation here. We have retail and restaurant operations including the Avalanche Grill and The Perfect Landing. We do property leasing, and we lease space for recreational assets like South Suburban Family Sports and The Track. We want to be good neighbor and at the same time we are a key element in the economic well being of the region. We’re responsible for nearly 6,000 jobs, and a payroll of nearly $370 million. Outside resources value our output at over $1.222 billion. Next week: So what exactly is making all the noise?

New South Metro fire chief takes the ‘colors’
Submitted by South Metro Fire Rescue It was rare ceremony within the firefighting community last week when members of South Metro Fire Rescue, their families, local public officials and neighboring fire departments gathered for the Changing of Command, Oct. 16, at the Lone Tree Arts Center. With Chief Dan Qualman’s official retirement several weeks away, the ceremony was held to celebrate his career and the promotion of Chief Bob Baker. After several speeches, Baker was sworn in and the department
colors were passed from the Color Guard to Qualman, signifying that the department is ready for the change of command. Qualman then passed the colors to Baker, charging him with the responsibility of leadership. The Colors were also passed from the chief to the new Operations Chief Bill Potts, signifying that the department command has changed. Chief Baker’s son, a South Metro firefighter, unpinned his father’s old badge. Baker’s wife pinned on his new badge, followed by a ceremonial passing of the chief’s helmet. After assuming the responsibility of his new position, Baker addressed the audience, reminding everyone how difficult the job of a firefighter is – not just on the
individual but also on their family. Baker spoke of his “commitment to the men and women who selflessly serve the community” and of always striving “to earn their trust and respect and to do his best to make sure that everyone goes home.” Baker is a second-generation firefighter and a 30-year veteran of the merged agency. He has ascended the ranks of firefighter, engineer, lieutenant, shift commander, battalion chief, training chief, administration chief and most recently, chief of operations. The ceremony was concluded by ceremonial ringing of the bell, signifying the change of command.
Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council art auction set for Nov. 15 The Greenwood Village Arts and Humanities Council proudly announces its annual silent art and gift auction, which is a benefit for Arapahoe County scholarships, the acquisition of public art, and continuing art programs. The auction is Saturday, Nov. 15, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center (2349 E. Orchard Road, Greenwood Village). In addition to light dinner, wine and music, participants can bid on artwork and gift certificates. This year’s auction features the work of local artist
Don Mitchell. To walk into Don Mitchell’s workshop is like walking into a museum of magical colorful sculptures. Unique and creative, they astound the viewer. His works are brilliant, quirky, almost childlike in their vision, but no doubt that they are fine art. This mild, unassuming master of wood and metal almost brings to life these figures. Tickets are $20 per person and can be purchased at City Hall, 6060 S. Quebec St., Greenwood Village or the Curtis Arts & Humanities Center 303-708-6110.
Youth and senior commissions sponsor Thanksgiving food drive
The Centennial Youth Commission and Senior Commission are partnering with Endeavor Academy for the 27th annual Thanksgiving Share Basket Project. This food drive is underway and ends Wednesday, Nov. 12. To participate, bring nonperishable foods to the Centennial Civic Center, 13133 E Arapahoe Road, and place them in the bin. Donated food will be distributed to 228 needy families in the SafeHouse battered-women’s shelter, Developmental Pathways, the Denver Indian Family Resource Center, Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, the outpatient cancer clinic at University Hospital, the National Kidney Foundation, local houses of worship and needy families with children attending Endeavor Academy. The Share Project began in 1988 and has provided food to more than 5,800 hungry families for Thanksgiving dinner. The project has no overhead. Every penny spent buys food, nonfood items and baskets in which to put them.
