County issues first samesex marriage licenses ‘The writing was on the wall,’ clerk says By Peter Jones The new legality of same-sex marriage was no particular challenge for the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, which granted its first license just before 5 p.m. on Oct 6, hours after the U.S. Supreme Court announced it would not hear the appeals of five states that had their bans on gay marriage overturned. “When the couple came in, it just didn’t make any sense to ask them to come back at a later time. The writing was on the wall,” Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said. “They wanted to be the first people in Arapahoe County to get their marriage license, so it was fun to see how excited they were.” Crane’s office had been prepared for weeks for what many have considered the inevitability of legal gay marriage. Crane said his office already had forms prepared with “spouse” designations in place of “husband” and “wife.” “It’s the same transaction we do for straight couples,” he said. “We have Continued on page 10

“B
usted in Colorado” was the theme of this year’s Breasts of Colorado benefit as 19 women and two men posed for mug shots with facsimiles of their breasts. The casts would soon be transformed into art as part of a creative fundraiser for Sense of Security, a Colorado nonprofit that helps breast-cancer survivors pay their living expenses. Models were responsible for raising $500 or more. The benefit culminated Oct. 2 in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month when the organizer, the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, held its annual Breasts of Colorado celebration at the Englewood Civic Center with a dinner and silent auction.

AG hopefuls differ on qualifications Coffman and Quick debate for South Chamber
By Peter Jones The choice for Colorado’s next attorney general may come down to voter preferences in candidate style and background if last week’s debate at the South Metro Denver Chamber in Centennial is any indication. When Republican Cynthia Coffman and Democrat Don Quick squared off Sept. 30, the two were not far apart on the attorney general’s role as the state’s lead counsel. The two also shared disagreement with Gov. John Hickenlooper’s temporary reprieve for a

large and bustling in-house law firm. Quick, a former district attorney in Adams County’s 17th Judicial District and a onetime deputy to former Attorney General Ken Salazar, touted his suitability with what has become his recurring campaign slogan. “I’m a prosecutor, not a politician,” he said, likening his resume to that of the outgoing, term-limited Republican incumbent John Suthers. “I’m the only candidate in this race who has tried cases before juries, so I know what juries can think and what the liability to a state is when you are making an Continued on page 5

Aurora estimates casino would mean $63 million in road improvements “Aurora and Arapahoe County would share the cost of road improvements near the casino, while getting no revenue from gaming taxes,” Aurora City Councilman Bob Broom said. “Aurora gets nothing out of it, but we’re going to have to deal with the traffic and all the public safety issues,” he said. 09/13/2014

Enjoy a Sunday afternoon drive in Colorado mountains KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
We are all living in a “New Denver,” speaking liberally about the entire metro area where the core city is surrounded by more residents than live in Colorado’s largest city, The Queen City of the Plains, Denver. Starting with school integration back in the ‘50s, abundant lands, and a booming economy, Denver started to spread out. Along came the famous Poundstone Amendment that halted any future expansion of Denver into the now booming suburbs. The growth of the surrounding
areas is what we’re seeing on the freeways and highways in, out and around the core of the city. Thousands of suburban residents are traveling to and from work across the entire city into the many suburban areas every day. In some instances, especially out in southeast Arapahoe County, the roads are just not able to keep up with the traffic heading into southern Aurora and eastern Arapahoe County where a new casino is being promoted to save the horseracing track. Engineering work is underway and right-ofway acquisitions are underway to expand many of these suburban highways into higher capacity roadways. There are other areas that are jammed up at many times during the rush hours. Take E-470 west from I-25 starting about 3:30 p.m. and the traffic jam starts building for miles. It’s hard for me to understand on a wide highway how the traffic gets jammed up, but it does, every day. Santa Fe is so jammed up going
north and south out of Littleton that around 4 p.m., it becomes a moving parking lot with cars traveling through town. I-225 has improved slightly heading east out of the DTC with some of the major highway construction concluding at the Parker/I-225 exit where cars have been jammed up for miles the past year as highway widening has been occurring in the Aurora corridor. Going and coming from the mountains has been a continual nightmare with the Idaho Springs widening of the tunnel and just too many cars heading to the mountains at the same time of day. Everyone thinks going a little bit later will be better, and then that happens and the jams still occur. Going early means 6 a.m. and going later means 10 p.m. There is lots of highway construction heading west this fall. Work on repaving some worn out stretches of I-70 climbing lanes is underway on Vail Pass in three different locations. Hopefully the con-
struction will be complete before ski season begins. Repaving has been ongoing on westbound climbing lanes from I-70 from Silverthorne to the Eisenhower Tunnel. It is somewhat amazing that none of the political candidates have addressed transportation issues within the state of Colorado. There is almost no bus service left, except to the casinos, and there are very few scheduled air routes flying to rural towns with reasonable fares. As the mountain towns populations expand, the I-70 issues will continue to be a Sunday afternoon plague on drivers heading home or rushing to catch airplane flights at DIA. The delays can last up to five hours, creating a real case of heartburn for drivers and no doubt missed air flights by tourists. Instead of concentrating on birth control measures, it might be great for voters to hear some ideas on traffic updates for our state from the major candidates.
Gen. Patton was a ‘real’ general REMARKS
By Mort Marks
Today our Army has more men and women wearing general’s stars on their uniforms then at any previous times, and because of that fact I’ve been asked by many of my readers, to please repeat my article on General Patton who they feel was a far different General than those wearing Stars today. Well here goes because, General Patton was a man who well deserved his Stars — he was a real United States Army General – “Old Blood and Guts” General George Patton was a man that
many of today’s star-wearing generals could take a lesson from on how to be a general. Nothing can better describe the generals and the fighting men of WWII then this pre-invasion speech that General Patton delivered to us on May 29, 1944. General Patton said: “Men this story we hear about America wanting to stay out of this war, not wanting to fight is a lot of bullsh** …. Americans despise cowards. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost a war… “Every man is frightened at first in battle. If he says he isn’t, he’s a Goddamn liar…. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared. Some men get over their fright in a few minutes under fire, some take hours. For some it takes days. But the real man never lets his fear of death overpower his honor, his sense of duty to his country, and his innate manhood. “All through your Army career you men have bitched about what you call ‘this chicken-sh**
drilling’. This is all for a purpose. Drilling and discipline must be maintained in an Army, if only for one reason: Instant obedience to orders and to create constant alertness. A man to continue breathing, must be alert at all times. If not, some time a German S.O.B. will sneak up behind him and beat him to death with a sock full of sh** . “There are 400 neatly marked graves somewhere in Sicily all because one man went to sleep on his job, but they are German graves, for we caught them bastards asleep before they did us. “An Army is a team. Lives, sleeps, eats, fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is a lot of crap. We have the finest food, the finest equipment, best spirit and the best men in the world. Why by God, I actually pity those sons-ofbitches we’re going up against. By God I do. “My men don’t surrender. I don’t want to hear of a soldier under my command being captured unless he is hit. Even if you are hit, you can still fight. That’s not bullsh** either. “Don’t forget you don’t know
I’m here. No word of the facts to be mentioned in any letters. The world is not supposed to know what the hell they did with me. I’m not supposed to be commanding this Army…. I’m not even supposed to be in England. Let the first bastards to find out be the Germans. Someday I want them to raise up their hind legs and howl ‘Jesus Christ it’s the Goddamn Third Army and that S.O.B. Patton again!’ “There’s one thing you will be able to say when you go back home. You may all thank God for it. Thank God that at least 30 years from now when you are sitting around the fireside with your grandson on you knee and he asks you what to did in the great World War II, you won’t have to say ‘I shoveled sh** in Louisiana.’” Well, General Patton, it’s now 70 years later and we who served under you, appreciate your leadership more then ever — and we who are still around today are proud to salute a Real General and Sir the “Free World” owes you many thanks for your leadership.

Submitted by Jeff Welborn and Lynda McNeive Laura Christman, a resident of Cherry Hills Village for more than 25 years, has entered the race for mayor of Cherry Hills Village and has earned the endorsement of numerous Cherry Hills Village leaders. Among them, former mayors Joan Duncan, Jeff Welborn and Mike Wozniak, and current City Council members Alex Brown, Katy Brown, Mark Griffin, Scott Roswell and Russell Stewart support Christman’s candidacy for mayor. Christman is the current chair of the Planning and Zoning Commission and has served on the Commission for six years. According to former City Councilwoman Harriet LaMair, “Through her tireless dedication, Laura has been instrumental in balancing the diverse needs of residents with the long-term interests of the Village to achieve the best outcomes. She consistently demonstrates her ability to achieve collaborative results.” During her leadership, the commission, in concert with city staff, has developed many ordinances and applications for consideration by City Council to address a wide spectrum of both applicant and citizen concerns. “Laura deeply understands that the character of our semi-rural en-
vironment needs protection and yet she is able to balance this value with a thorough understanding and respect for private property rights, so important to our residents. She was a founding member of the Cherry Hills Land Preserve in 2004. Through her support and that of many others, this important organization has had a significant impact on the quality of life in the Village,” LaMair said. Christman currently serves on the Quincy Farms Visioning Committee, whose goal is to fully understand the complexity of the extensive land gift from Cat Anderson to the Village, including the impact of easements, water rights and historic designation, while creating a vision for future use that incorporates the grantor’s intent, as well as the community’s needs. Fellow committee member and former Cherry Hills Mayor Jeff Welborn said, “Laura has worked so hard on this committee and has been instrumental in understanding and communicating the legal implications of this gift. “Along with many Cherry Hills citizens, Laura participated in the numerous hearings and meetings that led to adoption of the current Cherry Hills Village Master Plan in 2008. The Master Plan provides a guideline for ordinances, regulations and programs within the Vil-
lage. Additionally, Laura has spent many years in her various volunteer positions within the community studying issues pertaining to transportation, water, wildlife, parks, trails, recreation and development.” Buck Frederickson, a long time Cherry Hills resident and business leader, said, “Laura has the proven experience and knowledge necessary to create synergies between City Council, staff and residents to assure that what the community values is protected and enhanced.” Christman is supporting and supported by three fellow Villagers, Mike Gallagher, Katy Brown and Earl Hoellen, each of whom is running for City Council. “Regardless of the outcome for the mayoral race, it is important that Cherry Hills Village has on its Council, citizens who have the experience and knowledge to best serve the Village,” Laura said. “Please vote for these candidates. City Council members are volunteers and it can be a tough job. I deeply appreciate the current City Council members and all of the candidates for City Council, as by doing so each of them made an unselfish act of commitment to the community.” For more information, visit www.cherryhillsconcernedcitizens. com.

important decision whether to settle a case or not.” In contrast, Coffman, Suthers’s chief deputy, emphasized her experience in various legal arenas of state government, having worked in the General Assembly’s Office of Legislative Council before being tapped as legal director for the Public Health Department and later serving as chief counsel to Gov. Bill Owens. Coffman, an Aurora resident, also refuted both the accuracy and relevance of Quick’s often repeated prosecutor-politician distinction. “He’s run for office twice. He tried to extend term limits in Adams County so he could serve a third time, and the voters said, ‘no,’” she said. “This is the first time I have ever run for elected office, so I think I’m the one who’s not a politician.” The Republican wife of 6th District U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman called Quick a “great district attorney,” but questioned the relevance of her opponent’s background. “Prosecution and criminal justice is a sliver – about 10 percent of what we do in the Attorney General’s Office, and my career in public service has been focused on the other 90 percent of the pie,” she said. Quick, who once ran the Environmental Crimes and Foreign Prosecution units, among other functions under Salazar, disputed Coffman’s
math, calling criminal prosecution the second-largest function in the Colorado Department of Law, if one considers how department personnel are assigned. “In fact, the budget that was submitted last year by the office says 102 lawyers out of 452 lawyers work in the Criminal Justice section,” the Democrat said. “That’s about 23 percent of the office.” Whatever the workload, both agreed that a good attorney general should leave his or her politics at the door. Each offered examples of how they had respectively defied their own parties in the interest of justice or rule of law. Quick said as district attorney in Democratic-leaning Adams County, he fought fraud and prosecuted the county assessor on corruption charges. “I make prosecution decisions, not political decisions,” he said. “Also, I’ve testified against [Democratic-sponsored] bills that didn’t make sense, [such as] sentence reductions that didn’t have evidencebased methodology.” Likewise, Coffman said the Suthers administration has made a career of upsetting virtually every political leaning since replacing Salazar midterm in 2005. “Conservative Republicans are not very happy with us for defending the gun legislation that was passed in 2013 or representing the Civil Rights Commission in the case of
the Masterpiece Cakeshop [that refused to bake a gay wedding cake in 2012]. That happens, and we perturb Democrats and Libertarians just as often. That means we’re doing our job,” Coffman said. Both candidates said they were eager for a final legal decision on the constitutionality of gay marriage – a decision that came six days later when the U.S. Supreme Court announced this week it would not hear legal challenges to gay-marriage in five states. The next day, Suthers said all 64 county clerks in Colorado must issue same-sex licenses. “We take an oath to defend the Constitution in the state of Colorado,” Coffman said, concurring with Suthers, who had before this week’s high-court decision asked the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder’s Office to stop issuing same-sex marriage licenses. That was after the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Utah’s ban unconstitutional, but then ordered a stay on such licenses pending appeals. “Even my dog knows what the word ‘stay’ means,” Coffman said. Quick reaffirmed his support for gay marriage in principle. “There’s a reason why over 27 courts in a row found that there’s no grounds to [ban same-sex marriage],” he said. “The Constitution says people get treated equally, unless there is a government purpose.” Election Day is Nov. 4.

Letters to the Editor Hickenlooper for governor & Romanoff for Congress
For governor, I will be voting for Hickenlooper because he did a good job handling the many natural disasters the state has suffered and also because the state is better off, economically and otherwise, than it was four years ago. For U.S. House of Representatives for Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, I will be voting for Romanoff because I think Coffman has failed to help resolve the most important issues facing our nation. Coffman refused to reduce the deficit and save the fiscal future of our grandchildren through a reduction in tax breaks for the rich, Coffman refused to create new jobs in Colorado through improvements for our roads and bridges, Coffman refused to help keep guns out of the hands of criminals by supporting universal background checks on gun purchases, Coffman supported a reduction in spending for border security and refused to support comprehensive immigration reform, Coffman refused to support equal rights for Americans regardless of sexual orientation, Coffman supported efforts to eliminate the constitutionally protected right of a woman to choose to have an abortion and Coffman voted more than 50 times to end health care insurance benefits, including free preventative care, prescription discounts for seniors, protection for those with pre-existing conditions, coverage for children up to age 26, improved access to health insurance, health insurance coverage for children up to age 26 and holding insurance companies accountable for rate increases.

Vote Nancy Sharpe for Arapahoe County Commissioner, District 2
Recently, I attended a debate where a person running for the State Board of Education did not know how public schools were funded in this state. This was appalling to me. This of course has nothing to do with
the Arapahoe County Commissioner’s race, or does it? Too many times we elect people to public office who have no idea what the job entails. We elect them without knowing their qualifications or work ethic. Nancy Sharpe is a hard working person. I served with her for several years on Greenwood Village Planning and Zoning Commission and Greenwood Village City Council, and I worked closely with her when I was mayor pro tem and Nancy Sharpe was mayor of Greenwood Village. If Nancy didn’t understand all sides of an issue, she worked with all involved on that particular issue gleaning all perspectives. Nancy never came to a conclusion first, and then later, twisted facts to support a particular conclusion. This trait has created a strong leader in Nancy. It also enables her to represents her constituents fairly. She respects others’ opinions. Because Nancy Sharpe listens to others, she has built consensus within Arapahoe County. She takes difficult issues and moves them forward. Others admire and think highly of her because they have elected Nancy to chair many regional groups. These include Metro Mayors Caucus, Arapahoe County Board of County Commissions, Metro Area County Commissioners, and Denver Regional Council of Governments. Also, Nancy has been a Board of Trustee for Denver South Economic Development Partnership. Clearly, Nancy Sharpe has the work ethic and qualifications for us to reelect her to the Arapahoe County Commission. She deserves our vote. I do not think her opposition knows the job quite like Nancy Sharpe. She reminds me of the State Board of Education candidate. Find out more information at www. electnancysharpe.com.

Regulations, and Laws that they impose on the American People. No one in public office should live under a different set of rules than the American people have to live under. When I served as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, I never ordered my subordinates to do anything that I was not willing to do myself. Consequently, after Obamacare passed, I dropped out of my federal health insurance plan, available to members of Congress, and I purchased an individual plan, without a taxpayer subsidy, through Colorado’s health insurance exchange. My co-pay tripled and my deductible skyrocketed from $350 to $4,500 and from $4,500 to $6,200, I’m responsible for 40 percent. If every member of Congress did what I did, Obamacare would not be in place in its current form today. Instead, the President granted a waiver that excused members of Congress from Obamacare and it will be the middle class that will now bear the brunt of these dramatically increased out-of-pocket costs. Reforming government, at any level, is never easy and changing Washington, D.C. is a really tough fight but with 21 years of combined military service, I’ve been trained not to give up or give in.

perience leaders. One such leader, Nancy Sharpe, deserves your vote to be re-elected. I’ve worked with Commissioner Sharpe on many boards, committees and issues and know her to be thorough and thoughtful, a listener and a champion for her constituents and their concerns. Nancy has worked hard for economic vitality, improved roadways for our area, better services for all members of our community and done so while keeping an eye on taxpayer dollars. I’m confident she will continue to represent us well and encourage you to vote for Nancy Sharpe when your ballot arrives. Cathy Noon Mayor City of Centennial
1984? Double Speak?
War is Peace? Water is Dry? SURPLUS is DEFICIT? Who is confused here? The latest edition of the Littleton Report says (page 1 bottom of right hand column), “Council’s recent review of the city’s fiveyear budget deficit highlighted the need for revitalization of commercial centers and how urban renewal can support and improve sales tax revenues.” In other words, the Littleton Report is claiming the Council is implementing urban renewal because it is projecting a budget deficit in the next five years. The problem is, the city’s five-year budget forecasts a surplus, not a deficit. In the city’s “Five-year Financial Projects - First Quarter Report” dated 6/24/2014, the report shows a surplus in the general fund every year of the five year forecast. The percent reserve every year. Furthermore the five-year forecast shows a surplus in the Capital Projects Fund of more than $2 million at the end of five years. Now who is confused? Or who is trying to confuse whom? And when is a surplus really a deficit? Betty A. Harris Littleton

As Aurora Line/I-225 Rail takes shape, so do opportunities for economic development
By RTD Director Claudia Folska Construction is in full swing along the Aurora Line/I-225 Rail project. Crews are ramping up construction on the Regional Transportation District’s 10.5-mile-long light rail extension, which is scheduled to open in 2016. Excitement is building throughout Aurora and Metro Denver because the new line will connect major employment and activity centers, including the Denver Tech Center, the Fitzsimons Life Science District, the Anschutz Medical Campus, Denver International Airport, Aurora Metro Center and downtown Denver. New rapid transit lines also create positive economic impact with transit-oriented development. Aurora Mayor Steve Hogan says the city has seen a rise in housing permits and momentum is building thanks to a stronger economy, major public works projects and strong public and community leadership. In fact, city leaders envision the new rail line will become Aurora’s new “main street,” as unique shops, restaurants, residential and office
buildings are attracted to nearby light rail stations. Another major economic impact results from the more than 200 RTD and contractor Kiewit Infrastructure Company staff and craft workers who are employed. Plus, another 200-300 subcontractors are helping to build the line. Meanwhile, Kiewit has achieved 24 percent of its 25 percent goal to hire small business enterprises on this project. And, the company is awarding $87.6 million to SBE firms. Currently, about $85 million has been committed to 150 SBE firms. Kiewit also is employing 65 workers from the nationally recognized Workforce Initiative Now program – a partnership between RTD, the Community College of Denver, Denver Transit Partners and the Urban League of Metropolitan Denver. WIN creates careers in transportation and construction for job seekers, and works with companies and local communities in the process. Finally, my idea of encouraging transit ridership among young people is the premise behind the
“I © My RTD” student art contest. This pilot program with Aurora and Cherry Creek middle schools is underway with 18 art teachers and 2,400 students. The students’ artwork will be narrowed to the top 18 submissions and the public will vote online from Oct. 17-24 for their favorite. Each school district will have one winner. Both winners will work with RTD’s graphic design team to have their creative work displayed on an RTD bus. We are asking you, the reader, to participate at www. rtd-denver.com and like us on Facebook. Stay tuned on how to participate in this exciting project to support the arts and a youth connection to transit. Our future belongs to our children and it’s important that they are engaged.

Centennial man gets 6 years for real estate fraud By Peter Jones A Centennial man will spend more than six years in federal prison for wire fraud, identity theft and money laundering. Chaval Williams, 53, was also ordered last week to serve three years on supervised release and pay nearly $767,000 in restitution. “The significant prison sentence pronounced in this case is appropriate given the defendant’s criminal conduct,” U.S. Attorney John Walsh said in a statement. “Mortgage-fraud schemes, like the one Williams implemented, not only adversely impact the housing market, they also hurt our entire economy.” Williams was indicted by a federal grand jury in 2011 and pleaded guilty last year. According to the indictment and plea agreement, his
company, TCW of Denver, defrauded real estate lenders by securing financing through “straw buyers,” providing false information to lenders, including proof of buyers’ employment and letters related to credit history. Williams sometimes asked lenders to give a significant portion of funds directly to him or his company. He also arranged for homebuyers to get kickbacks for their role and on several occasions bought and resold a home within the same day, collecting a substantial profit and concealing the resale from lenders. The total loss amount to the functional institutions was more than $2.4 million. The Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and the Secret Service investigated the case.
RTD Director Claudia Folska, Ph.D., represents District E, which includes portions of western Aurora, north-central Centennial, southern Denver and Greenwood Village east of I-25 and portions of unincorporated Arapahoe County.
Colorado Association of School Boards opposes Amendment 68 Organization representing elected school boards urges voters to say ‘no’
Submitted by CASB The Colorado Association of School Boards, the state’s largest membership organization for elected school board members, voted by a wide margin to oppose Amendment 68, a scheme to bring casino gambling to the metro Denver area under the guise of increasing funding for schools. At the annual delegate meeting in Pueblo, CASB delegates voted overwhelmingly to encourage Colorado voters to reject Amendment 68. The proposed constitutional
amendment would create a special place in the constitution for a single, East Coast corporation whose Rhode Island casino is expected to lose business to new casinos in neighboring Massachusetts. “Those who care most about our public schools aren’t fooled by Amendment 68’s thinly veiled attempt to hide behind our kids in order to further the finances of a Rhode Island company,” said Bill Cadman, chairman of the No On 68 campaign. “More and more education groups are lining up to oppose this bad deal for Colorado. Meanwhile, the proponents can’t seem to get any support within the state’s leading education groups for their plans.” CASB delegates opposed
Amendment 68, in part, because they fear it sends the wrong message about education funding by tying it to an unstable source and providing only a small fraction of the money needed to shore up Colorado’s public schools. CASB’s decision to oppose Amendment 68 joins that of the Colorado PTA, the state’s largest school district, Denver Public Schools, the Gilpin County Schools and the Colorado Community College’s Governing Board. Additionally, the Aurora Public School Board passed a unanimous resolution opposing all attempts to tie public school funding to controversial issues with no involvement from the education community.

Lucinda Franks pulls aside the Morgenthau curtain By Jan Wondra Spend even a few minutes on the phone with Pulitzer Prize winning writer, Lucinda Franks, and you realize you are talking with someone possessed of a quick mind and an even quicker wit. Franks is in Colorado this week on a national book tour, to promote her new book Timeless Love Morganthau and Me. She will be at the Tattered Cover, at 2526 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, Thursday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. She’ll be reading from her book, about her May-December, self-described radical-meets- establishment” marriage, to famed Manhattan District Attorney, Robert Morgenthau, who prosecuted some of the most famous legal cases of the 20th century. At age 24, Franks, who could have more easily joined the radical
cause, instead became the youngest journalist to win the Pulitzer Prize, for her coverage of Diana Oughton, a member of the Weathermen Underground. Not long after, she fell in love with a much older, politically-connected man who, on the surface, appeared to be her complete opposite. Bucking social norms of both age and culture, they married. This power couple’s partnership charted a course across global events and legendary court cases, and saw Morganthou breaking legal ground; becoming the first to successfully prosecute white collar crime in the global financial industry. I asked her, “Why this book; why pull the curtain back now?” She said, “When we married in the ‘70s, I thought, ‘I will stop
time’ and we did, for so long. But now of course, I know I can’t. It was just time to tell the story.” Over the years, she said, “so many have asked to do the story about Robert Morganthou, and he has refused. He’s never gone public before. In fact, there are only two lines about him on Wikipedia, and he comes from a pretty famous family. There is this tough, intimidating, humorless, public image as a prosecutor, and then there is this completely different, private man. So one night, over pork chops, I said to him, ‘Bob, I think I need to write this. Is that OK with you?’ and he said, “Gee, do you think anyone will read it?’” The answer appears to be a resounding, “yes.” The cross-country tour will see Franks appearing from New York to LA, and many stops in between. There is a Colorado connection to the beginnings of this famous marriage, about which readers may want to hear. Next week, the second part of a revealing talk with Franks, who interviewed many history-changing people during her tenure with The New York Times.

New flood risk maps released by FEMA
SEMSWA schedules public meetings this month
Submitted by SEMSWA
September marked the one-year anniversary of the Colorado flood disaster. Estimates indicate more than 25,000 homes were damaged and another 1,800 were destroyed. Much of the damage was experienced outside the identified highrisk flood zone by property owners who may have been less aware of their risk. Since then, an emphasis has been placed on identifying poten-
tial risks and building awareness among property owners so they can make more informed decisions and participate in risk-mitigation efforts, including exploring the use of flood insurance to transfer the risk of potential losses. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is committed to providing timely information and maps about flood risk. Property owners in six watersheds in unincorporated Arapahoe County and the city of Centennial have the opportunity to see new preliminary flood-risk mapping from FEMA in response to new local data. Recent studies by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control Dis-
trict (called “Flood Hazard Area Delineations” or FHADs) have been prepared for the First Creek, East Toll Gate Creek, Willow Creek, Cottonwood Creek and its tributaries, Piney Creek, and Antelope Creek watersheds. These FHADs identify and publish 100year floodplains for drainageways and specify where flood risks have changed since previous mapping. The Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority provides stormwater management services for Centennial and is working closely with FEMA and UDFCD to provide outreach for the new mapping. SEMSWA has scheduled three public meetings, Oct. 7 and 16
at the SEMSWA offices and Oct. 22 at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds to show the new preliminary mapping and provide information about potential flood risk and mitigation efforts. This is an opportunity for owners to see their property in relation to the new floodplain mapping. Although the preliminary mapping will not become effective until spring 2016, after an approximate 18-month FEMA physicalmap revision process, SEMSWA feels it is important for property owners to be aware of the map changes as early in the process as possible to allow time to investigate flood-insurance options ahead
of the effective regulatory date. All affected property owners will receive informational letters and an invitation to SEMSWA’s public meetings to be held from 6-8 p.m. During the public meetings, property owners will have the opportunity to engage with SEMSWA staff and national, state and regional agency representatives, including FEMA, the Colorado Water Conservation Board and UDFCD. Visit www.tiny.cc/SEMSWA _2014_PMRs for information about this project, the three public meeting logistics, and links to helpful websites. For more information and to provide feedback throughout this process, contact SEMSWA at 303-858-8844 or visit www.semswa.org.
K1 Speed opens in Littleton
Denver’s newest high-speed attraction celebrated its grand opening on Sept. 30 with a ribbon cutting, courtesy of the South Metro Denver Chamber.

Schwab celebrates grand opening of new campus in Lone Tree
On Oct. 1, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., celebrated the grand opening of its new Colorado campus in Lone Tree, Colorado. Schwab is a South Metro Denver Chamber member. A total of approximately 1,900 Denver-area Schwab employees will move into the 650,000-squarefoot, 47-acre campus in staged phases over the next year and a half, enabling the company to consolidate the majority of its Colorado operations in one facility, located at 9800 Schwab Way (at the corner of Park Meadows and Lincoln). The campus, when completed, will include three five-story office buildings as well as a standalone branch office, which opened last May. Located in the RidgeGate master-planned community, the new campus will provide a new home for Schwab’s service center facilities, which are currently in three leased buildings at two separate locations north of RidgeGate along the I-25 corridor. Three of the company’s four local retail branch offices will remain in their current locations: at 201 Columbine Street
in Cherry Creek; 518 17th Street in downtown Denver; and 2480 Canyon Blvd. in Boulder. The fourth Denver-area branch office relocated to a prominent location on the new campus, facing Lincoln Avenue just west of I-25. The Schwab campus was designed to create a sustainable, visually appealing and strong identity within the community, which itself blends natural open space with mixed-use density. Situated for solar orientation, the campus buildings are nestled into the existing site topography and optimize views of Mount Evans, Indian Peaks, Longs Peak and the downtown Denver skyline. Landscaping reflects the natural Colorado landscape, with native grasses, plants and trees that tie into the surrounding prairie. The site and buildings all incorporate sustainable materials and systems, targeting LEED Gold certification. “Our corporate real estate team really outdid themselves with this project,” said Brian McDonald, senior vice president of Schwab Investor Services and senior location leader for the company in
Colorado. “You couldn’t wish for a better located, more functional and beautiful place to be, and the RidgeGate development offers so many amenities. We are really looking forward to becoming a part of the Lone Tree community.” To date, approximately 70 percent of the campus has been completed, with two of the three buildings ready for occupancy. The third building is expected to be completed in the summer of 2015. While San Francisco remains Schwab corporate headquarters, Colorado is one of nine geographically important employment centers for the company. Schwab has approximately 13,400 employees nationwide, of whom approximately 1,900 are in Colorado, representing Schwab’s third largest employment center. In 2013 and 2014, Schwab was named a Top Workplace by The Denver Post, earning the number 5 and number 9 spots, respectively, on the list of top large companies. Job-seekers interested in a career at Schwab should visit http://www.aboutschwab.com/ work-at-schwab.
The premise behind the creation of K1 Speed was to offer enthusiasts and amateurs alike an authentic and genuine racing experience in a safe, comfortable, accessible and perhaps most importantly, unique environment. Utilizing advanced European electric karts and indoor asphalt tracks, K1 Speed quickly developed a reputation as being fun and exciting, and our growth has been continuous since we first opened our doors. In addition to our Arrive and Drive racing option, which allows individuals to visit our indoor karting centers anytime and experience
the thrill of racing, we also offer racing leagues and a variety of packages for corporate events and group parties, which have proven quite popular. To meet the needs of customers and kart racing enthusiasts who demand more, we also have a Pro Shop – K1 Race Gear – which carries everything that a karter might need to compete at the track. At K1 Speed, our goal is to be synonymous with karting, and we think that we are on our way. For more information about K1 Speed Denver, visit www.k1speed. com or call 720-726-1264.

Jeffco up in arms over school board decisions Rally to be held Oct. 11 in Clement Park By Tom Barry Students, parents and teachers from the Jeffco Public Schools mobilized again Oct. 3 during rush hour. The “Boots on the Boulevard” rally attracted protestors after the previous night’s decision by the Board of Education to review the district’s advancedplacement U.S. History course content. Julie Williams and two of her fellow-conservative school board members elected last year had already shaken up one of the state’s largest school districts over teacher merit raises, union, financial before the district’s course-content issues made national news. A number of students from Arapahoe County attend school in Jeffco. Since late September, numerous Jeffco schools have had to close for the day as teachers called in sick with little notice. During those apparent “sickouts,” many students walked out of class to show their discontent and conglomerated along major roadways near their schools. Alma Moore, a community resident and Chatfield High School math teacher who has taught for 25 years, was among the teachers who joined them in protest. “I am a registered Republican and I’m so concerned … This whole idea that’s it’s a bunch of union thugs – that is so untrue,” she said In response to the Board of

been working on this for quite some time. It’s no additional burden at all to be able to issue these licenses.” Although Colorado Attorney General John Suthers had publicly encouraged the state’s 64 clerks to wait a day or two before issuing same-sex licenses, neither Crane nor the county attorney’s office saw any reason to delay the first request. Clerks in Pueblo and Larimer counties also began issuing licenses immediately. The issue became moot on Oct. 7 when the state Supreme Court lifted injunctions against three county clerks and Suthers ordered all Colorado clerks to begin issuing licenses. The state’s high court also dismissed an appeal in the case challenging Colorado’s voterapproved ban on gay marriage. “There are no remaining legal requirements that prevent same-sex couples from legally marrying in Colorado,” Suthers said in a statement. “Beginning today, Colorado’s 64 county clerks are legally required to issue licenses to same-sex couples who request them.” At press time on Oct. 7, at least two other same-sex couples had been granted marriage licenses in Arapahoe County.

Mitt Romney draws crowd at Heritage H.S. for Beauprez By Scottie Taylor Iverson Former Massachusetts Governor and presidential candidate Mitt Romney thrilled hundreds at Heritage High School on a blustery day to draw a sharp contrast between Gov. John Hickenlooper and Republican challenger Bob Beauprez. “There’s one governor that stands out for indecisiveness. He’s had a hard time figuring out what kind of business development plan to create new jobs – better jobs – might look like. As a matter of fact, he calls his plan ‘TBD’ – To Be Determined,” said Romney. Romney drew a parallel to President Barack Obama. “Barack Obama hasn’t done the job he said he would do. He can’t make up his mind. He has apologized for America, now it’s time for him to apologize to America.” Beauprez outlined his plan for restoring economic security to Colorado by empowering Coloradans. Instead of the 2,000 new regulations that Hickenlooper has imposed on Coloradans and 25,000 pages of regulation that gets dumped on Coloradans by the state, he plans to freeze all nonessential regulation. “We’re going to invite you to help us with this audit of the government. If it’s anti-job, antiliberty, anti-opportunity, antibelieving in you, then we’re going to grab it by the roots, rip it out and throw it away. We will become that great opportunity state,” Beauprez said. “I believe
Candidate for CU Regent John Carson this is the greatest state and nation on earth. Do you believe and trust in government or people? Leadership has to deal with reality.” Beauprez also touted the great slate of Republican candidates. Taking a turn at the microphone were Jill Repella, Beauprez’s running mate; Cynthia Coffman, chief deputy attorney general running for Attorney General; El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Wayne Williams, who is running for secretary of state; U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who is running for re-election in District 6; Congressman Cory Gardner, who is running against Mark Udall in the U.S. Senate; and Don Ytterberg, who is running for CD-7.
Elect a governor who can make a decision. Bob Beauprez is a man who knows Colorado and his heart cares deeply about his state. He has an economic and education plan and he is ready to lead. – Mitt Romney
Colorado Secretary of State candidate Wayne Williams reminded the audience that even Democrats hire him because of his ethics.
Colorado Attorney General candidate Cynthia Coffman called for electing women – herself and Lt. Governor candidate Jill Repella, who was also at the rally.

Curtis Arts Center art opening a hit
By Jan Wondra The Greenwood Village community came out to celebrate the arts on Sept. 27 for the grand opening reception of the “All Colorado Art Show” at the Curtis Art Center, 2349 E. Orchard Road in Greenwood Village. The opening night reception on a perfect fall evening allowed the packed crowd, which included Mayor Ron Rakowsky and several City Council members and Arts Commission members, to go back and forth between rooms hung with art and the outdoor setting around the historic school. An official event of the City of Greenwood Village Curtis Arts and Humanities Center, this is a juried show, celebrating Colorado artists across several mediums. The show includes works by 52 Colorado artists, and most of the works are for sale. The show attracted visitors from beyond Greenwood Village. Centennial residents Rebekah Corah and her mother, Barbara Corah,

Art Center. This is the 31st year for the All Colorado Art show, which began after the historic Curtis School was saved by an effort of the city of Greenwood Village and citizen volunteer support. The gallery at the Greenwood Village Curtis Arts and Humanities Center will be open 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Admission is free and open to the public. On Oct. 9 at 6:30 p.m. there will be a free art lecture by the show’s Art Juror, Sandra P. Carson, called “How to Approach a Gallery.” Carson is an art consultant and gallery director with more than 30 years experience, who led this year’s judging selection. One parking tip, take the right turn into the parking lot just before you reach the school, and drive around the shared lot to reach the Curtis parking area next to the school. The exhibition will run through Oct. 31.

Everhart has unleashed Snoopy from comic strips onto canvas Artist will be at Fascination Street Fine Art Oct. 10 – 11 to show
Tom Everhart, the only person in the world who is authorized to create original paintings of Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the entire Peanuts gang, will be in Denver on Oct. 10 and 11 at Fascination Street Fine Art to exhibit his unique artwork. Everhart’s innovative style attracted the attention of Peanuts’ creator Charles Schulz in 1980, when he was working on a project for a theme park that wanted to incorporate the popular comic strip characters into their theme. Since then, Everhart has

created incredible pieces of art – some selling for tens of thousands
of dollars -- based on the comic strip characters, all with the blessing and
authorization of Mr. Schulz. “Those lines, they turned into paint strokes,” recalled Everhart, when speaking about the first time he painted the Peanuts’ characters. “There was an instant self-awareness, like I had learned a new language overnight.” Over the years, Everhart drew special projects for Schulz, while also creating his own unique Peanuts’ artwork. Prior to his passing in February 2000, Shulz had granted Everhart exclusive rights to repro-
duce the Peanuts’ gang as fine artwork. Since then, Everhart’s work has been featured in art galleries and exhibitions across the nation and in many parts of the world. The exhibition at Fascination Street Fine Art is free and open to the public. More information is available at www.FascinationStArt. com, or by calling 303-333-1566.

2015 Coors Western Art Show chooses Teresa Elliott as featured artist
Painter Teresa Elliott has been named the 2015 featured artist of the 22nd Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale. For the last five out the seven years, paintings by Elliott were voted People’s Choice Winner, voted by the attendees over the 15-day Coors Western Art Show, which is part of the National Western Stock Show in January 2015 in Denver. The Coors Western Art Show, which opens Jan. 6, 2015, with the Red Carpet fundraiser event, features 62 artists and raises scholarships for the National Western Scholarship Trust. The show represents artists from North America and Europe who capture the “Western Spirit.” Elliott’s highly detailed oils blend pure beauty with classical poses and designs that harken back to 17th century portraiture, with one key difference: the majority of her subjects are cattle. Teresa’s painting “High Noon” will be the signature work for the 2015 Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale, and thereafter, will reside in the National Western’s permanent collection. “High Noon” will also be available for sale as a poster, and can be purchased at the 2015 Coors Show or online at www. CoorsWesternArt.com. Primarily self-taught, Elliott, who worked for a short time after collage as a police sketch artist, is highly sought after for her dramatic depictions of Texas longhorns, as well as her stunning figurative work. She has paintings in numerous private and corporate collections across the United States, Canada and Aus-

Golf ball-size hail descends on south metro area
Army of would-be and legit roofers follows
F
By Glory Weisberg irst hail pelted our house, which is near Orchard Road and South Havana. It broke windows and branches as well, now strewn over every inch of our property and many of the properties of our neighbors. The gutters look like they’d taken direct hits on a firing range! Then as we began removing slivered roof shingles, here came itinerant roofers, as well as those boasting they belong to the Better Business Bureau. They began ascending on us like a swarm of locusts. Even the Pink Panther wanted to give us an estimate. He too belongs to the BBB. Within hours of last Tuesday’s cleanup efforts, we had a stack of flyers, trifolds as well as unbent 8-by-10s, front door hangers and business cards, some seemingly hastily printed, stacked up as thick
as the debris. Oh, yes Villagers, the American dream is alive and well, with many men and a few women trying to cash in on Mother Nature’s folly to their own advantage even before we were able to contact our house insurers or glass company. Most reminded me of words from The Man of La Mancha, trying “to dream the impossible dream,” to get the contract on our repairs. Finally came a piece of paper that we hope put an end to the barrage, telling roofers the contract on the roof replacement has been signed. Not one flyer or doorbell ringer was from a glass company. Go figure!

Etiquette
Sneezes and coughs welcome children each falls as they go back to or start school. They walk into the classroom healthy, walk out with enough germs to quarantine the entire community. We acknowledge the fact that by and large, America is now a twoworking parent country, if there even are two parents in each household and staying home from work can mean lost wages, disrupted work responsibilities and sometimes kids seem to get better after the time in which they would have started their school day. So yes, it’s sometimes hard to tell whether to send/take the child to school or not. If the student exhibits flushing, a temperature, repeated
sneezes and/or coughing that seems legitimate, keep them home and save exposing other kids and the school staff from the virus. To me, this is just another example of The Golden Rule: do (or don’t do) to others what you would/would not) want others to do to you. It’s that simple and when in doubt, err on the side of caution. Also, if the student really is ill, you’re going to have to leave your job and go get the child when the school nurse or other school personnel call to tell you your child is too sick to be in class. We got the impetus to write about this etiquette problem from a real elementary school parent who noted that a sick student sneezed all over the muffins sent to school for a child’s birthday. While on this topic, change the word student to office worker or nonprofit event attendee and the advice is similar: keep your sickness to yourself. We wrote this before the enterovirus began hitting Colorado kids and as of this writing, has spread to nearly every state in the nation. That means even more diligence in deciding when to keep a child or yourself home. If symptoms are in line with the latest list from enterovirus experts, go straight to an emergency room. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Tom Paxton is just plain folk Musician plays Swallow Hill Oct. 18
By Peter Jones In the late 1960s when many of Tom Paxton’s contemporaries were transitioning to folk-rock or embellishing their sound with fancy production and chamber pop, Paxton started … well, embellishing his sound with fancy production and chamber pop. The urge to plug in his guitar amidst chorale singers was fleeting. By the mid-1970s, the folksinger was back to his acoustic tricks and had fully abandoned pop music. “I don’t disdain that kind of stuff at all,” Paxton said of 1960s poprock music. “I think Bob [Dylan] made exactly the right decision for himself. But my earliest favorite was Burl Ives.” Although the singer-songwriter has never seen wide commercial success, some of his songs – “The Last Thing on My Mind,” “Ramblin’ Boy” and “The Marvelous Toy” – drifted into the folk canon. His material has been covered by hundreds of genre-sweeping artists – from Johnny Cash and Judy Collins to Bobby Darin, the Pogues, the Spinners, and even Tin Tim. What’s more, Paxton, 77, has

He does not miss a beat – anymore than a folksinger can – when asked about his busy, but decidedly low profile career “To be totally candid, I don’t think I would have been commercially successful, even if I had made an all-out effort,” he said. “I don’t think I’m that kind of artist.” On Oct. 18, Paxton will play a
mix of new and old, popular and esoteric, and even a few hits at Swallow Hill, 71 E. Yale Ave. in Englewood. Paxton’s music has always fused topical commentary with timeless love ballads. He would aim his poison pen at subjects ranging from the Watergate scandal to Rubik’s cubes. “I have certainly done myself no favors in commercial circles by some of the stuff I’ve written, but they seemed like songs that needed writing,” he said. After years on major labels, including a few short visits to the album charts, the singer began recording for smaller labels, where he has clearly been most comfortable. “I’m really happy with this period of my life,” he said. In 2009, he received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy. In later years, Paxton was diagnosed and treated for depression and attention-deficit disorder, topics that have yet to be immortalized in the writer’s diverse canon. But give it time – especially when it comes to the comic potential of ADD. “You’re right,” Paxton said with a laugh, at the end of a 30-minute interview. “You’ve given me an idea – a song where the subject has to change with every line. There’s an idea.”

Adventurous mountain climbing film comes to Landmark Theatre Oct. 15
By Clarissa Crozier Adventure climber Leo Houlding (UK) and fellow climbers Sean Leary (USA) and Jason Pickles (Salford, England) head deep into the Amazon in an attempt to make the first ascent of the east face of the remote tepuy, Cerro Autana in western Venezuela. The adventure documentary Autana comes to The Landmark Theatre in Greenwood Village Oct. 15 through the efforts of Film Festival Flix. A film of epic adventure, this independent film will screen one night only.
First ascent in a lost world
Due to its sacred status and close proximity to the non-secure Colombian border, access to Autana is prohibited and extremely difficult on both a national and local level. The Cerro Autana mountaintop in western Venezuela is draped in clouds. The red line shows the path the climbers took to the tepuy.
In Autana, the team of clandestine climbers, led by Houlding and disguised as tourists, travel down the Orinoco River in an 8-hour boat ride to the remote village of Ceguera. Here they make a visit to the local
The film Autuna stars noted British climber Leo Houlding. He has become an ambassador for the younger generation of climbers and has been called one of Britain’s top ten adventurers by The Telegraph. Shaman to seek blessings and gain access to the sacred mountain. A 4-day trek through the jungle is required to establish a route and base camp below the east face of Autana. Autana is one of the world’s most remote locations, revered by the Piaroa Indians as the stump of the tree of life from where all life grew. Viewers follow this team of climbers as they find their way up the jungle-infested rock face where they face humidity, heat, torrential downpours, mosquitos and other creatures. Viewers also experience a luxury wall camp in the Autana Cave system, the highest cave system in the world, just below the summit of the tabletop mountain. “It really was a journey
into a lost world,” Houlding said on the website that chronicles the climb. “There were so many unknowns and hazards, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and unforgettable moments. “If it were not for their extremely inaccessible location, the Autana Caves would surely be known as one of the wonders of the world and the top of Cerro Autana was an amazing place. “Tepuy climbing transpired to be everything we hoped for, everything that we had feared and a whole lot more. It was an adventure that none of us will forget. Indiana Jones would have been proud.” Houlding, a veteran climber, specializes in free climbing. He has been called one of Britain’s top 10 climbers and has produced and appeared in a number of climbing films including the IMAX movie The Wildest Dream (2010) that retraced the last steps of Mallory and Irvine on their fateful expedition to Everest in 1924. Houlding, Seary and Pickles are all Berghaus athletes.
Filmmaker also a noted climber
Filmmaker and climber Alastair Lee, also from the United Kingdom, has climbed in all seven of the world’s continents producing over a dozen adventure films, three TV commercials and is author of seven books. He seeks the most spectacular settings and gripping stories and his approach has resulted in a successful career with more than 70 international awards. Lee founded Posing Productions, the leading producer of rock climb-

Autuna received the Alpine Prize at the Tegernsee Mountain Festival in Germany, Grand Prize at the Zakopane Mountain Festival in Poland, and Prize of Town Teplice and Metuji in the Czech Republic Mountain Film Festival. Autuna was also winner of the Grand Prize at the Krakow Mountain Festival, Best Mountain Film at the Torello Mountain Festival and Best Mountain Adventure Film at the Kendal Mountain Festival.

The evening will feature 15 award-winning wines and food stations offering appetizers through desserts. Famous auctioneer, Gary Corbett will auction items for travel, sports, theater, gifts and wine. It will be held from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m. Both Ridge View Academy and the Betty Marler Center are residen-
tial programs for high-risk youth involved with Colorado’s Juvenile Justice System. RVA is a 500-bed facility for teen boys. The Marler Center is a 40-bed facility for adolescent girls.

ates moving into the work force. Every dollar raised goes directly to provide scholarships and for basic needs such as housing, transportation, work clothing and tools as students begin studies or employment, often totally on their own. Ridge View Academy values its partnership with the State of Colorado Department of Human Services and the Division of Youth Corrections.

DAR awards $2,000 to Tesoro Cultural Center’s Kiowa Oral History & Education Project The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution announced the organization will be donating $2,000 to the Tesoro Cultural Center for the Kiowa Oral History & Education Project. Funding for this project was made possible through the sponsorship of the Colorado Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, located in Denver. The Kiowa Oral History Film & Education Project will capture the contemporary and historic oral history of the Kiowa community through a short documentary film and supplemental educational curriculum for K-12 students. Tesoro will partner with Emmy nominated
filmmaker Lynne Scholfield of LS Productions to film Kiowa community members sharing meaningful oral histories providing insights about Kiowa history. Furthermore, Tesoro will collaborate with Marilyn Lindenbaum current Tesoro Living History School Tour Interpreter and former School and Youth Programs Educator at History Colorado to produce K-12 classroom curriculum to enhance the documentary film with academic content for American Indian and Western American Studies to benefit students in Colorado and nationally. The Film Project will feature John, Geneva and Debbie Em-
hoolah, who are Kiowa and Arapaho, and are leaders in Colorado and Oklahoma’s American Indian communities. John Emhoolah founded the Denver March Powwow, which is the largest Powwow in the country. Debbie Emhoolah, Tesoro Board member, coordinates the annual Tesoro Powwow, which includes important and engaging American Indian educational programming for youth and adults. As John and Geneva Emhoolah are in their 80s, it is vital and urgent that their oral histories and stories about Kiowa and Arapaho cultures are documented. The Emhoolah family members are also descendants of Owl Woman, who was married to William Bent and was an integral part of the Old Bent’s Fort diverse community. Thus, along with sharing the Emhoolah’s personal and contemporary story, the film and educational materials will tie into the diverse history of the many different cultures at Bent’s Fort during the 1830s and 1840s. Over the past 14 years, Tesoro has established a strong reputation for authentic, unique, in-depth, and diverse educational programing about American Western history during the Fur Trade Era. Holly Arnold Kinney, director of the Tesoro Cultural Center, said, “We appreciate this grant from NSDAR which will help fund the development of an educational curriculum about Kiowa Indian culture for K-12 students. This support allows us to collaborate with professional historians, filmmakers, and educators to create exceptional educational materials. Furthermore, the grant is valuable for expanding access and outreach for youth in Colorado and nationally to better understand American Indian and Western Histories. This generous grant from NSDAR is essential to the success of this project.”

Homestead Elementary named a National Blue Ribbon School Homestead Elementary School in Centennial has been named a 2014 National Blue Ribbon School, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced Sept. 30. It is one out of only five in the state and a total of 337 across the country to receive the Department of Education’s prestigious honor celebrating academic achievement. Every year, the department awards the Blue Ribbon designation to schools based on academic achievement and progress in closing the achievement gap among student subgroups. Since 1981, the program has recognized more than 7,500 public and private elementary, middle and high schools. “These great schools are fulfilling the promise of American education – that all students, no matter their name or ZIP code, can flourish when schools provide safe, creative and challenging learning environments,” Duncan said in a press release. “National Blue Ribbon schools are models of consistent excellence and a resource for other schools and districts.” Homestead Elementary received the honor as an Exemplary High Performing School. This title recognizes schools that are among their state’s highest performing schools, as measured by state assessments or nationally normed tests. “We are so honored. Being in the upper 90th percentile of academic achievement for many years is a validating experience,” Homestead Principal Kim Kenyon said. “It was reaffirming for us to be able to articulate what we do. We have a common focus and feeling about who we are as a school.” In January, the Colorado Department of Education contacted Homestead and requested that they apply for the National Blue Ribbon based upon exceptional student achievement. A team composed of Homestead teachers and staff members started working on the school’s application in January. In addition to detailed information regarding the demographics of Homestead’s student population, an analysis of assessment results, and the school’s focused curriculum and instruction, the 36-page application also highlighted the positive impact of the Integrated Arts program on the school. The school’s continual focus on developing a “culture of learning” for all students beyond the classroom was a key theme in Homestead’s application process, Kenyon said. She added that the Homestead community played a key role in the accomplishment. “This parent community is absolutely phenomenal, and that’s woven into this,” Kenyon said. “We are so appreciative of them and feel a special partnership with them. They share in this recognition.” Student accomplishments are at the heart of the award, she added. “The students are hard workers and dedicated, and they are the ones who contribute to this entire award,” Kenyon said. Combined with the incredible work of the Homestead staff and the contributions of the larger community, the students’ achievements helped complete the “three-legged stool” that was so instrumental in the National Blue Ribbon title. Homestead will be honored along with the 337 public and private schools from across the country during a recognition ceremony Nov. 10-11 in Washington, D.C. Homestead joins eight other schools in the Cherry Creek District to receive the National Blue Ribbon honor since the award’s inception in 1981.

Littleton craft fair attracts thousands 43rd annual event in Kettering Park
T
By Tom Barry he City of Littleton officially ushered in the start of fall on Oct. 4 with the 43rd annual Friends’ Craft Fair at Kettering Park. The highly popular event attracted several thousand people from across the Front Range, who perused the offerings from nearly 300 craft makers. The event benefits the Friends of the Littleton Library and Museum, which has facilities adjacent the park. “I had been coming here for over 15 years with my mom before we decided to design and create our own handmade sterling silver jewelry,” said Cory Lauder of south Denver, who has had a booth for six years with her mother Robin. “The array of artisans here is amazing.” The diverse cluster of distinctive craft makers showed their
creations proudly to the visitors while the local Boy Scout troop hawked hot dogs, hamburgers and sodas during the exceptionally warm fall day. “This booth was the highlight of our day,” said Nancy Carlson of Littleton, who enjoyed the crafts with her sister Marge Baldwin. The two spent 45 minutes eyeing the custom greeting cards at Happily Ever Annie. The colorful and distinctive cards for nearly every occasion were from original oil paintings replicated onto card stock, said Annie Kagi, who was assisted by her sister, Molly Holka of Centennial. “This annual craft fair helps the museum pay for lectures throughout the year, purchase tools and equipment that different departments might use,” said Terri White, the collections curator at Littleton Museum. “This helps us fill in the gap where the city’s budget falls short.”

County adopts 2014 budget $338 million plan holds line on spending, officials say
By Peter Jones Arapahoe County’s Board of Commissioners has unanimously approved a $338 million budget that officials have touted as a structurally balanced protection of core county services. Because county revenue from property taxes has been flat, Commissioner Rod Bockenfeld, R-Centennial, says the board worked to guarantee that the county’s essential service levels were protected before officials sorted through the other aspects of the government budget. “We make sure we’re structurally balanced and we make sure we don’t impact constituent services, and then everything else falls in line and is open for negotiation,� he said. Bockenfeld, who serves as the board chair, says the 2014
county budget, which received final approval on Dec. 10, was balanced in part through voluntary reductions by elected officials and county departments and through efficiency measures created by Align Arapahoe, a performance framework that Bockenfeld says was designed to ensure optimal performance at a minimal cost. “Those things help create the efficiencies on the expenditure side,� he said. “Align Arapahoe ends up being a tool in trying to manage expenses so that we’re not cutting into the bone.� The resulting budget sets aside $10.6 million for capital projects, including $3.1 million for roadway and infrastructure projects, $1.3 million for renovations to the Altura Plaza facility in Aurora, $2.3 million for improvements to Lima Plaza in Centennial, and $890,000 to construct an additional courtroom at the Arapahoe County Justice Center. Additionally, 10 new county
Letters to the Editor
Bromley’s tone in letter to the editor seemed odd
I have been pondering for weeks Monika Bromley’s Nov. 21, 2013, letter to the editor where she thanks “all who voted for her.â€? There was something in the tone of her letter that kept bothering me. While her thanks are appropriate, the bulk of her letter seems to be a somewhat bitter indictment of people heavily involved in local government and her loss of the election. I am really confused over the part of her letter that says she surrounds herself with good people and she was â€œâ€Śdoing all of this for you. It was about you and what you wanted. You wanted to be treated with respect and honesty, and you were not getting it. I am sorry to have let you down.â€? This sounds like some sort of “Joan of Arcâ€? syndrome and reminds me of a Sunday Sermon I heard many years ago that actually stuck with me. The crux of the sermon was that rather than praying to win the lottery so one could give to help others, one should pray for those in need to win the lottery directly. It was presumptuous to think one should be a middleman or need to control the giving process. When I did my voter due diligence this last election, I determined Ms. Bromley is what I call a low information candidate. Her early statement that Centennial ought not turn in to another Aurora probably reflects the view of quite a few Centennial residents. But, it was untactful and I am sure would have presented problems should she have won the election and had to deal with Aurora’s elected officials over cross community projects and needs. (Like the joint funding of Arapahoe Road widening next to her neighborhood.) I could not find her position on any of the nuts and bolts issues the city faces and many of those have existed since the city was incorporated. Of particular interest to me are the several authorities with appointed boards and minimal oversight that operate and regulate within the city. Ms. Bromley had no stated position on any
of these and I doubt she even knew they existed. I for one did not view Ms. Bromley as a serious candidate. At some point, she may become versed on city issues, but as of the election I don’t think she knew much about how governments work let alone anything about specific issues impacting the city. Her intent to attend a few meetings might provide some basic knowledge, but it would be far better to actually work on some of the city’s advisory groups or commissions to prepare her for elected office. A process taken by most of the city’s elected officials. Bob Fetters Centennial
Tax code
I read that Congress is again preparing to tinker with the nation’s tax code. That means taxes could increase for some, if not all businesses, and the impact would likely be hard on our economy. Any talk of tax reform includes the closing of so-called “loopholes,� which are, in fact, legitimate deductions that ensure American energy companies can attract investment and compete globally. In Colorado, where oil and natural gas development is an increasingly larger part of our economy, that could zap investment and slow revenue-generating energy operations. I’m not opposed to making our tax system simpler and fairer so let’s not single out energy companies for higher taxes when they infuse millions of their own profits into new projects, expanded operations and more jobs. Tax reform that punishes growth and job creation is not my kind of reform. Michelle Draznin Greenwood Village
New direction for Englewood charter school
The Founding Board for the K-5 Charter School making application to open a Charter School for an opening in August 2015 will be submitting an application to the Englewood
government positions will be split between a new assessment program in the county jail and the popular open-space program. In total, the budget will fund nearly 2,000 employees and incorporates an average 2 percent salary increase, which will fluctuate based on merit. The increasing cost of health insurance will be shared with employees. The mill levy for 2014 will be 16.13, a figure that was designed to fall within the revenue limitations imposed by the Colorado Constitution’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights. “We kind of feel that some of the most difficult challenges since the economic downturn in 2008 have kind of passed and we’re on a little bit of an economic upswing,� Bockenfeld said, “I think a lot of other government communities would feel more pain than we would if there was another recession.� A copy of the budget is available under county news at www. arapahoegov.com.
School Board this August. Carlton Academy will undergo some pretty significant changes before submitting their final application. The estimated opening is August 2015. A significant and exciting change is that the Founding board has brought on some highly qualified charter school experts to ensure a successful Charter Application. Joining Mary Zachariah President and Theresa Martens the Vice President, is City Councilman Rick Gillit and Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Doty. These two new members bring budgeting and organizational skills to this charter endeavor as well as their understanding of the city’s history and educational values. Also joining is Meghann Silverthorn, a Douglas County School Board member who brings her knowledge of public and charter school systems to the table. Marisela Rubio will continue to work as the Outreach Director and the Charter Liaison to the Englewood School’s District Accountability Committee. Doug Hering, a CPA, has been hired to work on the budget, and Charter School Solutions is volunteering their consulting services as state level chartering professionals. If approved, Englewood’s new Charter School will be under the purview of the Englewood School Board. Charter schools do not charge tuition. They receive the same funding per pupil as other public schools. Also, the proposed Charter School curriculum is “Core Knowledge� based. The Charter Founding Board will also be announcing the new school name, logo, and website soon. Come and be a part of Carlton Academy’s new venture to reach Englewood with its first-ever tuition free and public charter school to help raise the academic proficiency of students across the Englewood School District.

RNC chair Priebus stumps for Beauprez, Coffman, Gardner in Greenwood Village By Scottie Taylor Iverson When a national party leader comes to town, you know the focus is important. Reince Priebus has declared the GOP is ready to lead. The chair of the Republican National Committee visited recently for a rally at the DTC Republican Victory Headquarters in Greenwood Village. Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez and his choice for Lt. Governor, Jill Repella, were there, as well as Congressman Cory Gardner, who is seeking a U.S. Senate seat and U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who is seeking re-election representing District 6. The rally, where parking and space overflowed, was to bolster
volunteers and voters to turn out for all three tickets. Colorado Republican Party Chief Ryan Call was emcee. With his running mate, Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella on his left and teammate wife Claudia on his right, Beauprez quipped, “So much for the war on women.” “We have an opportunity to take back Colorado to its right color of red,” said Beauprez. “Government is more than stepping on our toes. When government expands, freedom retreats. If it diminishes your freedom, we will stand against it. This is a watershed moment. Don’t let opportunity slip through your fingers.” About being re-elected, Mike Coffman said, “This is the most
competitive race in the country. Nancy Pelosi chose my competitor and is putting $1 million in for the campaign.” From the eastern plains of Colorado, Congressman Cory Gardner ignited the filled-to-capacity headquarters with a command of making Harry Reid a footnote in history. On energy, he expressed the concept of giving our allies a chance to rely on us instead of the Russians. On education, he cheered for keeping Congress out of the classroom. “We have the power to turn around and move our country forward. We need less Washington in Colorado and more Colorado in Washington,” Gardner said.

POWR hosts Jill Repella, Republican candidate for Lt. Governor
By Scottie Taylor Iverson POWR co-chairs Antonette Smith and Tammi McCoy staged an up close and personal session with Douglas County Commissioner Jill Repella, who just happens to be the Republican candidate for Lt. Governor chosen by Bob Beauprez. Colorado Automobile Dealers Association was the venue that drew an audience of men, as
well as women, to hear what the decisive, direct, solution-oriented candidate had to say. While many say she doesn’t fit Republican stereotypes, she does state that she is proud to stand side-by-side with Bob Beauprez and that their plans, values and views coincide perfectly. She is a fifth-generation Coloradan (Beauprez is a third generation Coloradan). She attended Colorado State University and
received a master’s degree in executive leadership from the University of Denver. She is a single mother of three. She has more than 12 years of professional experience in architectural design, construction and project management. She knows first hand how jobs are created. She has served on numerous boards and commissions and while a member of the Douglas County Board of Education,
focused on high performance outcomes for students. In 2008, Repella was elected a Douglas County commissioner where she has been instrumental in economic development. She fights for an economic climate that nurtures job growth, one where regulation and taxation don’t stand in the way. POWR is a nonprofit membership organization of leading and emerging pro-business women
who share and promote the principles of fiscal accountability, individual responsibility and limited government. POWR helps women find a voice through networking, education and activism. Members of POWR join together to meet candidates, learn about initiatives and work to educate themselves about issue important to Colorado and the Nation.

‘Unsinkable Molly Brown’ a delightful fantasy By Rosemary Fetter Molly Brown would have loved the Denver Center Theater production of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, and the audience should too, as long as they don’t take it seriously. Based on the 1960 Broadway production and a 1961 movie starring Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnell, the play celebrates the life of Denverite and Titanic heroine Margaret (Molly) Brown. As Denver Center Director Kathleen Marshall warns, “This is not a documentary, this is historical fiction. This is the journey of Molly Brown and part of that is her journey as a woman and her marriage.” And that journey is great fun. The music is lively, costumes and sets are top notch, and the cast, especially Colorado native Beth Malone as Molly and Burke Moses as J.J., put their all into the performance. If Malone bears a closer resemblance to a young Debbie Reynolds than any photos ever taken of Margaret (Molly) Brown, well so be it. In fact, it’s more like Malone playing Reynolds playing Brown, but it seems to work. Other cast members, including Whitney Bashor as Julia and John Hickock as Horace Tabor do credit to their roles. The musical faded into obscurity until 2006, when writer Dick Scanlan, a three-time Tony nominee, got permission from composer Meredith Willson’s widow to revisit the production and add previously unpublished Willson songs to the score. The book, written by Richard Morris, took much

of its tone from the fanciful Denver Post reporter Eugene Fowler, who was never particularly troubled by the need for accuracy. New songs and a much different script give the production a freshness audiences should appreciate Margaret Brown (never called Molly during her lifetime) was a farm girl from Hannibal, Mo., who moved to Leadville with her brother Daniel to join other relatives in the town’s Irish Catholic Community. Although poor and not well educated, the well-built redhead had dreams and hoped to improve her status by snagging a wealthy husband. She met Brown at a church picnic in the early summer of 1886.
Brown was 13 years older than Maggie, big-boned, blue-eyed and devastatingly attractive to women. A self-trained geologist with a talent for sniffing out ore deposits, he easily found a job as a shift manager for the mining interests of David Moffat and worked himself up to superintendent. Although Maggie doubted that J.J. would ever be able to provide the luxuries she wanted, romance won the day. And theirs was indeed a love match, stormy and passionate. Following several years of moderate financial success, the couple finally hit the jackpot and, like many Leadville millionaires including Horace Tabor, immediately moved to Denver They purchased a relatively modest home at 1340 Pennsylvania Street, flanked by two stone lions and furnished with all the latest conveniences. The couple grew apart and finally separated in 1909, as Maggie’s ambition began to take a toll on J.J.’s Victorian sensibilities. As the production shows, Maggie took off for Europe and became an international super star with the Titanic disaster, raising nearly $10,000 for the Survivors Committee Fund. She came home to Denver a heroine and Mrs. Crawford Hill even held a luncheon for her. Mrs. Brown later ran for Congress but was defeated. The Browns may have quarreled constantly, but evidence suggests they loved each another all their lives. They are buried side by side in Long Island’s Holy Rood Cemetery.

Dogs like Iggy, a 2-year-old Shih Tzu mix, and Missy, a 10-year-old yellow Lab are patiently waiting for that special someone to give them a second chance, hoping for a home to call their own. “We have so many wonderful, unique dogs available for adoption,” said Kristin Elliott, customer care manager at the Dumb Friends League. “By adopting a homeless dog, you’re not only providing a loving home to a grateful pet, you’re also allowing us to care for even more homeless animals that come to us every day.” Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month is also a time to debunk a number of misconceptions about shelter pets. For example, many people think
that dogs are brought to shelters because they did something “wrong.” That typically isn’t true. The Dumb Friends League says the majority of the pets in their care are surrendered due to “people reasons,” like having to move, allergies, or a lack of time or money to care for a pet. For the few dogs that need a little extra TLC, the Dumb Friends League provides pre-adoption training programs to help them become better candidates for adoption. For example, Head Start teaches good behavior to young adult dogs, and Canine Courage is specifically geared toward helping timid dogs. The League also offers free behavior advice through its Pet Behavior Helpline to all dog owners—whether or not they were adopted from the Dumb Friends League—in order to keep people and pets living happily together. If you’re looking for your next best furry friend, we encourage you to choose the adoption option. If you’re not in a position to adopt, you can still make a difference for homeless pets by making a donation, volunteering or fostering an animal in need at the Dumb Friends League.
