Shooter of CHV police officer is sentenced to 44 years in prison

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On October 11, Arapahoe County District Court Judge Eric White sentenced the 20-year-old felon (Out of respect to Officer Sack and the community, The Villager has chosen not to publicize his name.) who emptied his gun directly toward Cherry Hills Village Police Officer Cory Sack on August 20, 2018 to 44 years in prison. It was the exact sentence that Officer Sack recommended to the judge. In delivering it, Judge White said, “The shooting of a law enforcement officer – there aren’t many crimes more aggravated. … For his valor, (Officer Sack) was shot,” adding, “The shooting of a police officer shows great disrespect for the rules of society. I can’t mitigate (the defendant’s) moment of decision with what I know. The defendant is left with the choices he made.”

Originally charged with 32 separate counts, the defendant

pleaded guilty on August 2 to one count of attempted murder of a police officer and three counts of aggravated robbery.

Sack was the first police officer to respond to a 911 hang-up call that came in shortly before 11:00 pm on August 20, 2018, a Monday evening, from the Devonshire neighborhood of Cherry Hills Village. Sack came upon a home invasion in progress being conducted by four perpetrators. Two ran away and have never been found or identified.

The criminal who received the 44-year sentence hit Sack with two of his eight bullets, one that shattered his left femur and one that shattered his right ankle, resulting in a month-long hospital stay, multiple surgeries, years of physical therapy and ongoing treatment.

The Villager talked with Officer Sack and his wife Anne at the courthouse on the day of sentencing. CHV Police Chief Michelle Tovrea and half the officers on the force were also present. We first asked him how

he was doing. He said, “I’m here today. I’m with my family so that’s good. I’m happy to be here because this sentencing is one of the last things that’s holding us back from moving on. We’ve had a lot of therapy, physical and mental, and this is something to celebrate. We’ve come a long way.” Just over three years since he was shot, Sack told us, “I’ve been back on the job for a year and a half. I’m feeling good.

Things are going well.” He told us he is on full duty and responding to calls as a member of the CHV police force.

Like all police officers, sometimes Officer Sack works the overnight shift. He shared, “The other night, I had some free time in the middle of the night and I actually went back to (the address of the home where he was shot). I sat there and reflected and was able to write my letter to the court regarding sentencing and I felt like that was a very powerful moment.”

Officer Sack talked about his children, who are six and eight years old. He said that they’re doing OK but, “They’re afraid when Dad goes to work.” We asked whether he had considered changing professions at any point during the past three years.

He said, “I think that maybe, because of the arthritis (resulting from being shot)… Law enforcement is moving forward and progressive. There might be a different role or category out there for me other than police officer.”

Before he went into the courtroom, Officer Sack gave us a challenge coin with his name on it and the date of the shooting. It contains the logo of the Cherry Hills Village Police Department with a depiction of Officer Sack’s badge on one side and the Angel of Gratitude, along with the flags of the United States and the State of Colorado on the other.

In the courtroom, Officer Sack told Judge White that he was there representing not just himself but the family that was the victim of the home invasion, who are still “deeply

traumatized” three years later.

They all declined to appear for the sentencing. Sack described the night of the incident: “Upon arrival at the scene, I evaluated the situation from the outside of the home. All my internal voices were telling me that (the family) needed me inside sooner than later. What I did not know is that I was being observed by the defendant through the front window…He decided to exercise his power and take control by ambushing me at the front door. The defendant introduced himself and greeted me with a (expletive) and proceeded to shoot me eight times. If the defendant possessed a weapon with more ammunition, I know he would have continued to shoot until his weapon was empty. There is no doubt in my mind that our defendant wanted me dead so that he could continue with his career of being a gang member and committing robberies. The orange flashing gunshots were the loudest, most violent thing I’ve ever experienced…I wasn’t scared, I didn’t feel pain, I felt the most severe deep personal violation I’ve ever experienced. I thought to myself, what have I done to another human being to be treated so violently and want to take me away from my wife and children?... Who wants to deliver this kind of trauma and pain to others? Then I remembered that I had a badge on and the reason he wanted me dead was because of that. He is pure evil and selfish.” Officer Sack continued, “As I lay on the ground with a fractured left femur and a shattered right ankle, I asked God if he had called on me. He told me I would be OK and he was on his way. I later learned that I was able to return fire and strike our defendant, allowing him to leave blood behind. Our crime scene technicians did an awesome job of finding that blood,” which led to identifying the defendant.”

After that night, Officer Sack told Judge White, “As I lay in the ICU trying to recover, our defendant flaunted jewelry (sto-

len from that home) on social media.” Describing the impact of the shooting on his family, he said, “I’ve missed out on children’s school activities, family events, vacations…all as a result of interrupting a home invasion robbery. The defendant had no problem taking that away from me and my family. With all due respect, I don’t think the judge should second-guess taking away any years of his life.”

He asked the court to consider that the defendant was already prohibited from carrying a weapon when the home invasion robbery occurred, “but he wanted to continue roaming the streets as a gang member.” Sack reminded the judge that, despite the seriousness and violence of this crime, “At no time in the past three years did the defendant give up any information on the few holes that detectives have in this case. A person who was truly sorry for their actions and feels guilt for what they did would feel the need to help investigators fill their few voids in this case.” He concluded, “I request that this defendant get the maximum sentence possible for the safety of this community and the peace of my family.”

18th Judicial District Attorney John Kellner was the original prosecutor on this case. He was in the courtroom for the sentencing and said afterward, “I cannot think of a more flagrant violation of the laws that hold our society together than trying to kill a peace officer.

This wasn’t a robbery when no one was home. This was an invasion of a home when the perpetrators knew people were inside. And those perpetrators brought guns.” He continued, “When Officer Sack ran to the aid of that family, this defendant unloaded his clip right at the officer. We are lucky to still have Officer Sack. An incredible investigative effort brought this defendant to justice, and rightly so.” Senior Deputy District Attorney Casey Brown was the prosecutor who finished the case. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

No better time Stadium seating in movie theaters, wheeled luggage with extendable handles, and UV-protection swim shirts -- where was all this genius when I was growing up?

Seriously. Sometimes I ponder many of the modern conveniences we have, from refrigeration to smartphones to jetliners, and I marvel at the creativity and industriousness of the human race. The design, invention, and production of advanced technology, including smartphones and computers and microprocessors, certainly required a great deal of research and development, much of which had to grow from previous achievements.

Clearly, many of our conveniences are the results of “standing on the shoulders of giants.” On the other hand, other comforts of modern life are simply a result of someone noticing a better way of doing things.

For example, something as simple and obvious as tiered stadium-style seating in a movie theater seems like such a no-brainer. Yet, having memories of being a child in the 1970s and literally being forced to view a movie through the gap between the shoulders of two adults sitting in front of me, I still wonder why it took so long to figure that out. I feel the same way about wheeled luggage, which is practically indispensable now and makes cruising down the airport concourse a walk in the park. Do you have memories of lugging awkward heavy suitcases prior to the wheeled cart? Remember the luggage carts in the airport? Who was the genius who finally said, “Enough!

I’m putting wheels and a handle on this.”

Regardless of how we got them or how subtly they actually change our lives, simple conveniences like these certainly make life just a bit more pleasant than even just a decade ago. Stephen Pinker would agree with me. The esteemed psychology professor and contemporary philosopher has long noted what a wonderful time it is to be alive.

Despite all our grumbling and complaining about the miserable state of the world, a convincing case can be made that the current era is truly the best time to be alive. While we can certainly look nostalgically back to a time before Covid and before the War on Terror and before a 24-7-365 hyper-connected world and before franchising and before advanced weaponry and before, oh, so many things, the hard data about life in the twenty-first century is that it’s a mighty good time to be alive and kicking on this Earth.

As an educator I think of-

ten about how we tell young people to value their days in high school or college as “the best days of their lives.” Obviously, the times in our lives with a bit more freedom and a bit less responsibility are preferable to other times when

we are burdened with the heavy lifting of life in general. Clearly, times of relative calm, peace, and prosperity are better than eras of conflict, tragedy, and anxiety. That said, it’s helpful to remember

that while our current state can always be better, it could easily be worse as well. My advice to my students, and to people in general, is that the best year of your life is always the current one. If the present year is not the best so far, you might be doing something wrong, and you should consider changing course or at least changing your mindset immediately.

Or to paraphrase the wisdom I learned many years ago while working a job in maintenance at an apartment for retired people: “Any day you wake up on the right side of the grass is a good one.”

For a bit more insight and information on the debate, and for a truly much more erudite, informed, insightful, and inspiring read, critics and

curmudgeons might consider checking out Pinker’s book Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, & Progress. I don’t know if Pinker is correct, or if the naysayers are. Are we living in a Golden Age, or is this the beginning of an inevitable decline? Are things better now than they’ve ever been, or are our nostalgic yearnings for some bygone era valid. Truly, we can’t ever fully assess and unequivocally determine if the current year, or any other era for that matter, is the greatest time in human history.

All I know is that I suffered many a sunburn as a child, and I would have loved a UV-protection swim shirt back then.

CANDIDATE ENDORSEMENTS: Looking back at Greenwood Village over 40 years We’ve been publishing our newspaper in Greenwood Village for 40 years come December 2, 1982 and have never missed an edition.

Legal newspapers of record have to publish every week with the only excuse being an “Act of God.” I once appeared in Walsenburg, Co. as an expert witness why a local newspaper missed a week publishing because of a blizzard.

The newspaper won the case.

Looking back through the years the most exciting times were the Poundstone era following the footsteps of John Madden and George Wallace. Two visionaries that designed and constructed the boundaries of Greenwood Village. Madden on the West side and Wallace on the East side. Back in the days the residents of the West side were vocal and bold in attempting to stop the development of the rural areas. Koebel was eventually able to build the prestigious Preserve, but only after failed attempts that included a golf course surrounded by homes.

The demise of the area prairie dogs brought the Denver TV stations to the council chambers.

Freda Poundstone fought hard for the city and turned a GV closet into an office and was criticized by outside media for the effort. She was one of the best mayors that Greenwood Villager ever had. She is gone, but not forgotten in the history books as one of the leaders responsible for the establishment of the Cherry Creek Schools district. The famous “Poundstone Amendment”

put a stop to Denver annexation and school busing leading to local schools.

George Wallace and John Madden had the dream and desire to design awesome buildings, parks, and museums with quality always first and foremost. Greenwood Village needs to maintain this excellence.

We can thank George and John for this great city that has been very successful over the years, it does not need to change now.

The Villager has participated in all of the growth. Ed Phillipson, one of our very first resident reporters, would hound the council regularly on transparency and opposing executive sessions that were pretty loose decades ago.

New laws now enforce guidelines for these executive sessions that are largely followed by councils.

We now come to the largest city council election in history in Greenwood Village. 15 candidates are seeking election or re-election.

The Villager covered the candidates and spearheaded a forum hosted by this newspaper, the South Metro Denver Chamber, and The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe & Douglas Counties. The Forum was held at the AMG National Trust Bank located in Greenwood Village. We paid to have the session recorded so residents could see and hear the session along with the newspaper’s extensive coverage.

It is interesting to see other cities dealing with city council elections. Aurora is in turmoil

with a split council 5-5 with conservatives and progressives unable to work with each other, creating a city gridlock. Constant criticism of the police force by the local Sentinel newspaper has added to the drama. Two conservatives are seeking election, restaurant owner and military veteran, Danielle Jurinsky, and business owner and citizen advisory budget committee member, Dustin Zvonek. We certainly endorse these two candidates.

In Littleton, take your pick, they all are on record to increase the city sales tax to 8 percent; seems ridiculous in light of the pandemic that has forced many business firms in the city to close.

The tax was increased to a higher level in opposition to the recommendation of the local business community. The city is also electing a mayor by a citywide vote rather than a council selection.

Few duties are outlined for the mayor, with strong city management in place.

Turning to the Greenwood Village election that we have been following closely both in news events, coverage, and advertising, we have reached a time for endorsements with careful consideration.

It is also now time for community residents to VOTE. THE VILLAGER ENDORSES: DISTRICT 1: DAVE BULLOCK, incumbent, always engaged with residents PAUL WIESNER, experienced native with vast experience

DISTRICT 2: ANNE INGEBRETSEN, incumbent, bright and experienced DAVE KERBER, incumbent, strong minded, a leader DISTRICT 3: DONNA JOHNSTON, incumbent, listens well, involved in her district LIBBY BARNACLE, incumbent fiery and effective, serves district DISTRICT 4: JEFF REIMAN, articulate, lawyer, teacher, new voice and ideas TOM STAHL, long service to city, outstanding candidate WRAP UP: Greenwood Village is an upscale, very successful community, largely single-family residents with sound management and keen interest in zoning, traffic challenges related to growth, and very supportive of security and police officers.

To the challengers, welcome to local politics. Running for office can be difficult and demanding, often times controversial.

Experience in city government is important and should be considered by voters. This is a learning experience and an invitation to be involved, to learn, and to bring new ideas and concepts to the city. Stay involved in your community. Remember that Abraham Lincoln lost 14 elections before becoming president of the United States.

It seems that the Broncos don’t get rolling until the last quarter. Another disappointing loss on Sunday. Teddy Bridgewater does not seem to be the same player since he suffered his concussion.

The defense allowed 34 points and that wasn’t all Bridgewater’s fault.

Games are exciting and the season is still early, but much work to do. *** Sad note to read the passing of Denver Bronco great running back Otis Armstrong who thrilled many of us with his allpro play for the Broncos from 1973 to 1980, playing in two pro-bowls.

Great to see local restaurant owner and Bronco Super Bowl winning coach Mike Shanahan being inducted into the Broncos’ Ring of Fame this week.

He is a great Irishman and brought great pride to Denver and Colorado. ***

The Cherry Creek Bruins suffered an upset last week losing to Arapahoe 13-10. This may dampen a five-time bid for the state football championship title. *** Greenwood Village city election is in full swing. Letters from powerful people mailed to voters favoring incumbents and challengers pushing back with their own literature. I’m reminded of the definition of libel that goes something like this, “If you write or print something that you know is false to hurt someone it can be deemed libelous.” The libel law is very liberal when it comes to politics and public figures, almost non-existent, but there is a law covering libel.

The law is important for newspapers to check facts and attempt to find the truth. If we know something to be false and is aimed at harming a person’s reputation or character we reject printing it. *** Ballot issues are important.

The Villager suggests support-

ing Arapahoe County’s ballot issue 1A to continue the current 1/4 of 1% sales tax for parks and recreation. This is not a new tax but a continuation of these funds for the great outdoors and the heavy usage by the pubic in park and recreation venues.

Previously I was in favor of Amendment 119 increasing the taxes on marijuana by 5% with funds used for financial aid for tutoring and out-of-school enrichment and instruction.

But after reading a letter from former State Senator Norma Anderson in The Denver Post Sunday edition she advised that passing this new tax will take money away from the State Land Trust fund thereby hurting funding for public education. I researched a ballot guide from the Common Sense Institute that said the following: “Under the LEAP ballot measure, fewer state land dollars will be transferred to the State Land Trust. As a result, the State Land Trust’s principal will not grow as quickly as it otherwise would, and the State Land Trust will produce less interest that could be used to

support the K-12 education system.” The LEAP proposition also creates another expensive tier of government to administer the program. I’m changing my mind and will be casting a NO VOTE to protect our K-12 public school finance system. *** The election for the Cherry Creek Schools District has tightened, with spirited campaigns waging. This school election is the most heated in memory over controversial measures that include wearing of masks, diversity, and critical race theory. This is a very important election and voters need to examine candidate statements very closely. Many parents are speaking out loud and clear!

School board members serve many hours without compensation and it is a challenging position with so many concepts about education.

I prefer to leave history alone and not be rewriting the past. We learn about the past to make improvements in the future.

Aurora City Council at large candidates answer questions at forum

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On September 30, five of the six candidates running for Aurora City Council at large participated in a virtual candidate’s forum sponsored by the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties (LWV), Aurora Women’s Club, 9News, Sentinel Colorado and Telemundo Denver. Vicki Harimon of LWV moderated.

Kara Mason (Sentinel Colorado), Marshall Zelinger (9News) and Sergio Ornelas (Telemundo) asked questions, the answers to several of which are featured below. The entire forum can be viewed online via auroratv.org. The candidates who participated were Candice Bailey, Becky Hogan, Danielle Jurinsky, John Ronquillo, and Dustin Zvonek. Hanna Bogale, the remaining candidate, did not

Candice Bailey is a small business owner, and has lived in Aurora since childhood and served on the Aurora Community Police Task Force and Citizens’ Budget Advisory Committee.

Becky Hogan has a background in community development and is a 19-year resident who serves on the city’s planning and zoning commission and as the chair of the Korean CommitteeSister Cities International.

Danielle Jurinsky owns two restaurant/bars and is an Aurora native and U.S. Air Force Air National Guard veteran who serves on the Citizens’ Budget Advisory Committee.

participate.

The first question came from the moderator who wanted to know, “What actions would you propose as a council member to support local retail and small businesses in Aurora?

• Hogan: “For the communities of Bennett, Louisville, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, I developed a façade improvement program. It offered small businesses in our community the ability to do matched grant

funding in cooperation with their respective cities or towns to improve their façades. It was very, very successful.”

• Jurinsky: “The first thing I would do is look at where small businesses are overregulated.” She would also make sure that all licenses (e.g., business, sales tax, and liquor licenses) were going out in a timely manner.

• Ronquillo: “Small businesses are the backbone of our community. The city draws nearly 60% of its revenue from sales taxes.

LETTERS Vote no on Greenwood Village Ballot Issue 2B

In looking at the ballot issues, I am concerned with the vague wording of Ballot Issue 2B. The Greenwood Village City Council wants to amend the Home Rule Charter to no longer publish new laws in the local newspaper. They suggest they MAY use an electronic publication.

This will require the City Council to establish new publication requirements by ordinance. My husband always used to say “Trust but Verify”. Vote no on Ballot Issue 2B. You can’t verify

something that is kept in the dark or secret.

Imposition of mandates just plain wrong

The recent imposition of mandates requiring corporations of all kinds including medical providers to ensure vaccination of their employees as a condition of employment is just plain wrong and a draconian symptom of a government grown far too involved in our daily lives.

I did not appoint the governor or president to become my primary care physician.

The scariest part of this nonsense is that vaccination mandates are just a small part of what has gone wrong with the dramatic overreach by politicians and unelected bureaucrats throughout our republic. It seems easy to blame the majority party holding office in our state and mostly in the nation’s capitol, but there has been a long, slow usurpation of power and authority by autocrats of both parties.

These actions have resulted in our constitutional government being trampled for decades and ignored by “we the people” for far too long. It is time we took back our government from these usurpers.

I can’t think of anything more empowering than the opportunity for somebody to own a business, create jobs and bring a lot of value to the community.” He also said it is important to support immigrant-owned, women-owned and minority-owned businesses.

• Zvonek: “1) We need to create an environment of certainty. We can’t have a council that’s telling small businesses what they should put on their menu or how much they need to pay their employees. 2) I propose the idea of having a red tape round-up that would ask anybody who complies with rules, regulations and processes (how to) make Aurora the most business friendly city in the state. 3) We need to ensure that our small businesses feel safe… Many of them in the Havana Business District have concerns about the homeless encampments and the public safety challenges that creates.”

Candidate for Governor Heidi Ganahl shares her history and passion with CCRW “She has long been on our speaker radar,” said Cherry Creek Republican Women (CCRW) VP Mary Wenke of Heidi Ganahl. “We’ve been totally intrigued by the highest elected Republican to statewide office – CU Regent as well as an award-winning entrepreneur and founder of Camp Bow Wow.” She has overcome extreme adversity.

After the death of her first husband at age 27, out of her passion for dogs - she founded the fast-growing Camp Bow Wow franchise and was later surprised by the agriculture department which sparked her introduction to politics. Her love of education, the University of Colorado and politics led to her running for and being elected a CU Regent. “Education is the key to the American Dream,” she said. She feels that in grades K-12 that civics should be taught as well as a love of our country and the original 3Rs. She said her best training was at CU in a liberal environment. About eight months ago she started a podcast- Welcome to Colorful Colorado with interviews of the state’s people who had a story to tell and she sensed their frustration.

rural schools, lack of broadband, nursing homes, the cattle industry and energy industries – all suffering. “What makes sense now is to give control back,” she continued. “Are you ready to win?” she asked. Here’s how: Statistics – Ratings are down for Governor Polis and President Biden. “We need to get the turn out for our great candidates.”

In addition: Send a great message, have great fundraising and feel that our vote matters.

“If we could just flip Denver and Boulder from 80-20 to

70-30…” Ganahl and others in the audience were graduates in the same class of the Leadership Program of the Rockies in 2014.

When the course was complete, participants were asked what they might do next. Heidi’s answer was that she might just run for governor some day. “We believed in you then and we believe in you now,” said Francoise Bergan.

Meg Duke honored at Adam Smith Award Dinner conomic Literacy Colorado’s Adam Smith Award Dinner honors a community leader who demonstrates the principles of our free enterprise system, operates with high ethical standards, is engaged and passionate about our community, and whole-heartedly supports the mission of Economic Literacy Colorado.

The 2021 Adam Smith Honoree was Meg Duke, a longtime supporter, former

board member, and advocate for quality education and free enterprise. Meg shared her favorite Ronald Reagan quote, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same.”

Keynote speaker was the Honorable Betsy DeVos, U.S. 11th Secretary of Education, who discussed education

freedom and how economic education is imperative for students. “If students do not succeed, America does not succeed.”

The high-energy event took place October 13 at Seawell Ballroom, which was filled with who’s-who in the business world and many “younger” guests of Meg’s grown children, who learned about Colorado’s lack of requirements for

this education.

“Meg, like all of us, knows that students who learn about personal finances, our economic system and their role in it, are going to be our most productive citizens,” said Debbie Pierce, President and CEO of ELC. “Our mission is to prepare students to make informed choices throughout their lives.”

“Our goal here is to reach more students with economic

and financial education and you can only do that by expanding your programs and helping us to enlarge the purse so we can reach more students,” said Honoree Meg Duke.

Economic Literacy Colorado educates K-12 teachers with economic and personal financial professional development programs. Every year, 1,200+ teachers from across the state attend classes and workshops that provide content, methods, and materials for use in their classroom. www.EconLitCo. org or 303-752-2323.

Parasites (Germs/Worms) – The Good, The Bad, The Ugly (Part 2 of 2) Part 1 of this two-part article on Parasites was published on 10/14/21, P14. In Part 2, I will be sharing 1) how to stop attracting parasites, 2) how to get rid of them, and 3) how to help your body heal (repair) from their adverse effects.

As you know from Part 1, because Parasites are Nature’s facilitators of decomposition, they are attracted to any place (even human and animal bodies) where there are low-energy, malnourished, decaying and dead cells and tissues.

While present within you, Parasites will also consume nutrients from the foods you ingest, thus, perpetuating an internal state of cellular malnutrition. This state is one of the primary causes for food and sugar cravings.

CRAVINGS occur when the cells are signaling your brain that they are deficient in one (or more) nutrient and thus, need you to be tested to find out which nutrient is needed. Sugar cravings are signs that the body needs wholesome carbohydrates, not refined sugar products.

However, when parasites are the cause or a contributing factor in any craving, this must be addressed, also.

ALWAYS HUNGERY? UNDERWEIGHT? Parasites can be a contributing factor or the cause of any symptom

from head to foot, even the appetite.

For example, no matter how much they eat, people, who are unable to gain weight and/or who feel constantly hungry, may have parasites as their root cause. #1 - HOW TO STOP ATTRACTING PARASITES: Because parasites seek low-energy cells, the key to stop attracting parasites is to keep your cells operating at a high energy frequency. This is possible by 1) increasing the bioenergetic frequency of your cells, AND 2) maintaining nutrient-sufficient cells so they can produce and operate at high frequencies. More on both in my article, “Formula For Faster Healing,” (The Villager, 4/15/21, P12) #2 - HOW TO GET RID OF PARASITES: Step 1 Complete a 3-month Parasite Detoxification Program to address parasite “incubation.”

Step 2 – Then, complete a 30-Day “Full Body Detoxification Program” to cleanse the parasites (live, dead and their waste), along with other toxic substances, from the body.

A Full Body Therapeutic Detoxification Program

cleanses the stomach, duodenum, liver, bile duct, gall bladder, pancreas, lymphatic system, kidneys, bladder, and the small and large intestines.

WHAT IS PARASITE “INCUBATION?” When any parasite enters the body, they immediately lay their spores (germs) or cocoons (worms) in your tissue and after a three-month incubation period, they open up and re-infest your body. Then these newly mature parasites lay their spores or cocoons, and this cycle is perpetuated every three months.

The above answers the “why” question for those frequently sick with the flu, even though no one else around them has it, and this ongoing reinfestation every three months lowers your immune resistance when exposed to a new germ or worm.

ABOUT ANTIBIOTICS: An antibiotic is a drug formulated to just kill bacteria.

Most people know it is not advisable to take them for long periods of time, but what is not commonly known is that 1) a standard round of antibiotics only kills enough bacteria to

become symptom-free. 2) It does not kill all of the bacteria you have been exposed to, 3) nor can it kill their protected spores, and 4) taking antibiotics, in any amount, leads to Dysbiosis (The Villager, 9/30/21, P22).

PARASITE DETOXIFICATION: However, when you take specific therapeutic supplements for Parasite Detoxification each day, during the three-month incubation period, their ingredients are present to digest the parasites the moment their spores or eggs from the cocoons mature (open) and thus, helps prevent further reinfestation. Additionally, when taken upon exposure to a new parasite, you have a greater opportunity to prevent their invasion and laying of spores or cocoons.

Depending upon the individual, the Parasite Detoxification Program may be required for longer than the initial threemonth incubation period, in order for the nutrients to digest the Parasites who have already matured. #3 - HOW TO HEAL (REPAIR) FROM PARASITE EFFECTS: The process of identify and correcting the causes that prevent your body from producing high energy frequency cells is the same for identifying and correcting

the areas of the body that have suffered from parasites within and that is… a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of the Laboratory Reports from testing your biochemistry (blood, urine, hair, saliva, stool, etc.), starting with the area of the body that is suffering the most.

NUTRITION FACT #13 – CLINICAL NUTRITION TESTING AND THERAPY IS THE SOLUTION TO ALL THREE – 1) TO STOP ATTRACTING, 2) TO GET RID OF, AND 3) TO REPAIR THE ADVERSE EFFECTS FROM THE “BAD”AND THE “UGLY” PARASITES!

• in helping many of our small businesses… have a vision, a goal, a plan and a way to get there. They offer funding and support services. We also need to think about decreasing the tax liability for our small businesses for the first five years. This is the time when most small businesses fail.” She also said that “added support for filing for local and federal assistance programs for minority owned, small owned and immigrant owned businesses is fundamental in keeping our small business district alive, functioning and thriving.”

Marshall Zelinger of 9News said, “100 officers have left the Aurora police force since January 2020. The deputy police chief recently told one of my colleagues that staffing shortages are a critical problem for the department.

So, what calls for service do you think the police should no longer prioritize and does Aurora Police need to lower its standards for new officers?”

• Jurinsky: “Calls for service that should stop going to officers are bad parenting calls. They are literally being called out because someone can’t get their kid to go to bed.” Jurinsky re-

sponded, “Absolutely not” to the question of lowering standard for new officers. To get new officers, Jurinsky said, “It starts by first and foremost having a council and a city that supports them. Secondly, I would like to look into better pay and better benefits for our Aurora Police Department.”

• Zvonek said that “there have been a number of staff reports that have been done to look at how civil employees within the police department, the functions that they should take over.

I think we need to go back and look at those because many of the recommendations haven’t been implemented. (We should) make sure that we are sending officers where they belong.” To the question of lowering standards for hiring new officers, Zvonek said, “Absolutely not. We need to make sure that our police department is supported by council. We need to make sure that they are fully staffed, fully funded and have access to the best available training.”

Streets) out of Eugene Oregon which has been very successful for the past decade, similar to the STAR (Support Team Assisted Response) program in Denver that sends a paramedic, maybe a counselor to focus on some issues that are not necessarily going to be violent or resulting in an arrest. I’m supportive of this program, I hope that the pilot yields good results and that we will see an ability to fully fund this program citywide. In terms of lowering the standards, absolutely not… I would like to codify an employee retention program that specifically focuses on our

police and fire. The amount of money that we spend to train these officers and our fire personnel is a sunk cost when they decide to leave for other departments…

We need to pay them what they’re worth and keep them in the city of Aurora.”

• PATT “to make sure that things are happening appropriately within our officers’ lives every day.”

• Hogan: She would not prioritize “the calls that are not necessary for a police officer and can be handled by a police partner,” adding, “Standards for officers need to be kept at the priority and the quality that our citizens deserve.” To hire new officers, she suggested, “I think we have to look at our pay and benefits for officers and make sure that

is competitive. I also think we need to make sure that our officers feel and know how valued they are in the City of Aurora.

Sergio Ornelas talked about two ordinances that would have benefited the undocumented community that were brought before the Aurora City Council earlier in the year and failed. One would have “limited cooperation between the authorities and immigration officials” and the other would have “created a legal defense fund for the immigrant community.” He asked the candidates if they

would support those ordinances if they came up again and why.

• Bailey: “Yes, I would support both ordinances. We have to stop criminalizing people. It’s not illegal to be in our nation. If you don’t speak the language, there needs to be someone who steps in…I will always support immigrants.”

• Hogan: “There is a lane that municipalities need to stay in. Sometimes that lane works with other partners but it doesn’t cross it. There is a distinct line between an Aurora city council member and the federal government that

oversees detention facilities and oversees immigration practices.”

• Jurinsky: “I would not support either of those ordinances.” According to Jurinsky, she was told by an ICE official that “90 percent of the inmates in the ICE facility are not there because they entered the country illegally but because they committed further crimes.”

• Ronquillo: “I would support both ordinances. I don’t believe that the city of Aurora should be responsible for enforcing federal immigration laws.

We should focus on city

issues.”

• Zvonek: “No, I wouldn’t support either of (the two ordinances). I don’t think it’s the proper role of city government to provide (legal defense) funds. While (John Ronquillo) says that it’s not up to the Aurora Police Department to enforce federal immigration laws, it’s also not up to the City of Aurora to just ignore federal immigration laws.”

There were also questions about public transportation, homelessness in Aurora, and how the city budget is allocated.

One year later: economic impact of the Abraham Accords

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Retired local physician Dr. Herzl Melmed recently discussed the impact of the Abraham Accords in a presentation to the local chapter of Hadassah, a charitable organization that supports the renowned Hadassah Medical Center of Israel that provides medical and surgical care to 1.5 million people annually and where Jewish and Arab medical personnel famously work side-by-side caring for patients of all nationalities.

Melmed, who is from South

Africa and has lived in Denver for 44 years, described Hadassah Hospital as “the pride of Israel. It is a microcosm of what everybody would like Israel one day to be, where Jews and Arabs work together and are patients together.”

On September 15, 2020, an agreement was signed between the State of Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain to “establish full diplomatic relations, to promote lasting security, to eschew threats and the use of force, as well as advance coexistence and a culture of peace.” On the same day, Israel and the

United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to the “establishment of peace, diplomatic relations and full normalization of bilateral ties.” On December 22, 2020, Morocco and Israel agreed to “establish full diplomatic, peaceful and friendly relations.” Sudan also issued a statement of support for the process.

Dr. Melmed described the Abraham Accords as, “the most important diplomatic achievement of the past decades; not the cold peace that (Israel) had with Egypt and Jordan, but a warm, real peace with Arab countries accepting Israel into the Arab Middle

East.” He reported that there has been “nearly $1 billion in trade” between Israel and the UAE in the past year in fields including aviation, energy, technology, health, tourism, and diamonds. He added that the UAE is the fifth-largest purchaser of diamonds in the world and Israel is the seventh, thus the two countries working together have become a very significant force in the diamond industry. In addition, Melmed reported, the UAE has put aside $10 billion in a special fund for Israel.

The reason the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Su-

dan were motivated to make peace with Israel, Dr. Melmed explained, is that they are all majority Sunni Muslim nations, worried about the rise of Iran, a Shia Muslim nation and “its move toward a nuclear weapon.” The United States’ ongoing withdrawal from the Middle East, including its recent withdrawal from Afghanistan, has worried our Arab allies. “They see the rise of Israel as a military and technological power that is willing to fight against Iran,” which is a common enemy of both Israel and the Sunni

I stand behind our police and fighting crime; always have and always will. My oldest daughter is a peace officer. I encourage and support effective policing methods and fairness in their application.

I decided to run for City Council after thoroughly considering how our community can act locally to address climate change, the biggest threat to our livelihood and our kids’ future. I am a 28 year resident or Greenwood Village and a retired environmental engineer. Years ago I led a neighborhood program, working with the City and Denver Water, to demonstrate how to conserve irrigation water. I recently testified against the solar ordinance now before the City Council that would limit homeowner’s options for generating renewable energy. I have sensible ideas and practical knowledge that will help our community be more sustainable, livable and prosperous.

I will work with other council members and our highly knowledgeable citizens to address these goals. Change is coming and we need to be smart in how we address it in order to move forward while preserving what we value most about our community.

To effectively address change requires community support. I am committed to increasing involvement and transparency between our citizens and their city government. There is so much we can do together to improve the quality of our lives while maintaining the beauty and tranquility we all value.

In praise of Ray Fosse; in defense of Pete Rose Ray Fosse, the catcher involved in one of the most debated plays in the history of Major League Baseball’s AllStar Game, died last week at the age of 74.

He’d battled cancer for 16 years, though he didn’t make that public until this year when he stepped down as an Oakland A’s color commentator in August.

More than two dozen newspapers and websites published stories about his passing, emphasizing what a beloved figure he’d become in 36 years as a broadcaster for the Oakland A’s.

“He was so fun to be around,” tweeted Sean Doolittle, once Oakland’s closer.

“He had a way of making you feel connected to the history of baseball and the Oakland A’s.” Wrote another former closer, Liam Hendricks: “His kindness will never be forgotten. The game of ball lost a true legend.”

And former Oakland outfield Josh Reddick added: “Ray Fosse was such a special person . . .”

But in many instances, the news stories also referenced the home plate collision with Pete Rose that decided the 1970 All-Star Game in the 12th inning.

Rose was described as “barreling into,” “bowling over” and “exploding” the American League’s catcher.

One story called it a “vicious” collision, clearly implying that Rose was a villain for trying to score the way he did—and in an “exhibition,” at that. He never apologized, noted one.

I covered that game in Cincinnati’s brand-new Riverfront Stadium and wrote a book about bizarre events surrounding that play 45 years later, when the Midsummer Classic, as it’s called, was again held in Cincy, this time at Great American Ballpark.

My book is titled HEARD but not SEEN - Richard Nixon, Frank Robinson and The AllStar Game’s most debated play.

My take is that Rose is wrongly—unfairly—portrayed.

Here’s an excerpt, from a chapter titled “Delayed Replay,” that explains my view: SINCE I HADN’T seen the play, I couldn’t agree or disagree with Frank Robinson.

And decades passed, believe

it or not, before I watched the videotape—yes, back then it was still videotape. But after viewing the play years later, I would point out that Fosse was at least three feet, maybe four, up the third base line, in the path to home plate, awaiting the throw from Amos Otis.

Had Rose attempted a slide, he almost certainly would never have reached the plate.

He would have been tagged out.

And as Pete had told me the day before, “I play it to win.”

On the video Rose appears, almost imperceptibly, to commence his trademark lunge, but pulls up when he realizes he’ll never reach the plate if he goes into a head-first slide. It all happens in a split second: Rose puts a shoulder into Fosse as the ball arrives;

Fosse is separated from his glove as he literally does a full somersault; Rose is safe at home..The NL wins 5-4.

Those nine seconds of action have been digitized and rerun thousands of times on television and online. The play has been criticized, defended and otherwise debated for decades, and Rose and Fosse have commented over and over on that moment and its aftermath. They will be asked about it for as long as they live.

I then referred to an interview Fosse had with CBSSports.com in 2013: Fosse spoke positively about his more than four decades in baseball—12 seasons as a major league player and almost 30 as an Oakland A’s

broadcaster. He also confirmed a couple of key points about the play—his positioning and Rose’s intent.

“As a catcher, I positioned myself where the ball was being thrown by Amos Otis,” he said. “I was up the line, not trying to block anybody. I was taught as a catcher, catch the ball and try to plant the tag.

You watch the replay, which I’ve seen a million times. He starts to go into a head-first slide, and he sees me.”

I then looked at Fosse’s subsequent years in baseball: So common in sports today, the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging test) had not been invented yet in 1970. X-rays the night of the All-Star Game were negative. Fosse simply rested then resumed playing when the pain in his left shoulder subsided to a simple throb. He finished 1970 with a .307 batting average, 18 home runs and 61 runs batted in. A year later the shoulder still ached, and another set of X-rays revealed a fracture and a shoulder separation that, by then had healed, though improperly, in place.

Fosse won the Gold Glove as best defensive catcher in 1970, and was a Gold Glover and an All-Star again the next season. But his batting average in 1971 was .276—31 points below his 1970 average, and his home run total dropped to 12. He went from the most promising young catcher in the American League to a journeyman during his remaining eight seasons.

It should be noted, though, that he did play on back-to-back World Series champions in Oakland after he was traded to the A’s following the 1972 season. (That’s an experience that eluded many great players; for example, the great Ernie Banks, Mr. Cub, never made it to the post-season.)

By all accounts, Ray Fosse was a class act. It’s sad that such a good guy developed cancer at such a young age (58) and died sooner than many.

But it’s important to note that, speaking about his career in baseball, Fosse said, in that 2013 interview: “It’s been good. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Economic impact of the Abraham Accords Continued from page 16

Muslim nations. Under President Trump, the U.S. offered inducements to help smooth the way for normalization.

The UAE was to get the ability to buy F-35 fighter jets and other military equipment, the U.S. offered to recognize the Western Sahara for Morocco and to lift sanctions on Sudan.

However, as of the last available report on the subject in August, the sale of the F-35s was still somewhat uncertain due to concerns from some Members of Congress and a report this past June quoted Sudanese officials as saying they have been disappointed with the level of U.S. investment to date in their country.

Historically, the Arab states refused to consider normalizing relations with Israel until peace was achieved between Israel and the Palestinians.

For Arab states that are primarily oil producers, Israel’s high-tech and start-up economy is also enticing because it provides an opportunity for economic diversification.

Systems, HP, and Siemens.

These companies employ over 60,000 Israelis and provide nearly 20 percent of the coun-

try’s total tax revenue.

An important result of the normalization of relations is that Israel is now allowed to fly over Saudi Arabia to the UAE, a crucial benefit that stimulates trade, not only between Israel and the UAE, but between Israel and Japan and China as well. Access to the UAE also provides Israel much easier military access to Iran, should it become necessary to act in the event that it becomes apparent that Iran is moving toward developing a nuclear weapon.

In an interview with CNN in April, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, foreign minister of Saudi Arabia was quoted as saying that normalization with Israel would bring “tremendous benefit” to the region as a whole, however he tied the possibility to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which remains stagnant. Saudi Arabia is largely viewed as the leading Sunni Arab state in the Middle East with 34 million people. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

20 years in prison for man who injured Sheridan police officer SUBMITTED BY OFFICE OF DISTRICT ATTORNEY - 18TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT ARAPAHOE COUNTY

The driver who injured a Sheridan police officer while fleeing officers was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Arapahoe County Court Judge Ben Leutwyler sentenced Ismael Rayos, 30, after he pleaded guilty Oct. 12 to one count of first-degree assault, threatening a peace officer, a Class 3 felony. Other counts were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.

“Officers put their lives on the line every day when then swear to serve and protect,” said District Attorney John Kellner. “When they in turn are made victims, we have a responsibility to see that they get the same justice they seek for others.”

On April 26, 2015, Sheridan officers were called to a suspicious vehicle at a convenience store near West Oxford Avenue and South Federal Boulevard. They tried to speak with Rayos, who jumped in his car to flee. As he took off in reverse with the door open, an officer was caught between the door and the body of the car. The officer was thrown to the ground. He was treated at a hospital for minor injuries and released.

The crashed car was located in Denver; a .380 caliber handgun was found in the vehicle.

The officer recovered from his injuries and is no longer with the Sheridan Police Department.

Police were initially unsuccessful in locating Rayos.

But in 2019, Rayos was taken into custody in Mexico with the help of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Marshals Service. He was then charged in Arapahoe County.

The prosecutors on the case were Chief Deputy District Attorney Darcy Kofol and Chief Deputy District Attorney Andrew Steers.

Cherry Hills Village Police Foundation’s mission to is serve those who protect

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Earlier this year, Mark Griffin, a former CHV city council member, announced the formation of the Cherry Hills Village Police Foundation. It is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable organization that is entirely independent from CHV city government. Its goal is to provide “vital resources and critical support to the CHV Police Department.”

Griffin said, “When I was on the CHV city council, I was the liaison to the police department and rode with them on a regular basis. I saw firsthand what they

go through, especially at night.

Being familiar with the Denver 100, an outside group that pledges money to support Denver’s police department, I knew that I wanted to do the same for our officers in CHV. I got a lot of help from the folks at the Greenwood Village Police Foundation in getting our foundation orga-

nized and off the ground. I especially want to acknowledge Tom Dougherty and Bill Mahaffey of the Lewis Roca law firm for their invaluable assistance.” He continued, “This foundation’s sole purpose is to help our CHV police department with the necessities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. That support will include educational programs, scholarships, equipment, and assistance to the personnel and the families of the CHV police department. Although completely separate from CHV itself, we will work closely with CHV police department and its chief, Michelle Tovrea, to help individuals and the police department, the

people who keep us safe. This has been a collaborative effort of many individuals…I would like to thank Chief Tovrea for her extensive help and support, to include her artistic talent in designing our logo and challenge coin.”

Griffin noted that CHV Mayor Russell Stewart “has kindly offered to be our first donor and we gratefully accepted.” Our mission has been accomplished and now our real work will begin.

When the program was announced at a recent city council meeting, Chief Tovrea was asked

by Councilmember Dan Sheldon what she envisioned donations from the foundation being utilized for. She said, “We’ve had anonymous donations before that we’ve used for ballistic

vests. I’d like to make sure each officer has one, along with a ballistic helmet. We will have to purchase body cameras in 2022 and we will also need technology to go with it so I’ve put aside some money we received as an anonymous donation to use for those. We can always use more education programs. I will be talking to Chief Dustin Varney at Greenwood Village and get more information from him as to how they use their funds.”

To donate to this very worthy cause, simply go to http://chv policefoundation.org/donate and follow the instructions. Or, you can reach out to Mark Griffin directly at 303-324-0965. Any way you choose to help, your support will be welcomed. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

2021 UCLA S. Rodman Irvine Award presented to Dr. J. Bronwyn Bateman

Colorado Chamber Orchestra String Quartet to preform on Nov. 19

The Colorado Chamber Orchestra String Quartet will preform on Friday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S Datura St., Littleton.

The principal string players from Colorado’s own professional chamber orchestra perform two monuments of chamber music

by Beethoven and Mendelssohn, and a few surprises.

Free admission.

David Kates, DMA is the Director of Music and Fine Arts Ministries at the church.

Dr. Bronwyn Bateman, founder and first director of the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, was awarded the 2021 S. Rodman Irvine prize at the recent UCLA Stein Eye Institute annual meeting for residents, fellows and alumni. The Irvine award is the highest award conferred by the Stein Eye Institute, UCLA Department of Ophthalmology, David Geffen School of Medicine.

The S. Rodman Irvine Prize of the Department of Ophthalmology, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, was established to recognize excellence in the Department of Ophthalmology faculty. This Prize is conferred annually, on a UCLA Department of Ophthalmology faculty member whose relationships with patients and/ or students is exemplary; whose professional actions illustrate the finest traditions of the medical profession and/or the vision science community, and whose teaching demonstrates a dedication to transmission of knowledge to future generations.

The Prize honors S. Rodman Irvine, M.D., who was a distinguished clinician, teacher, investigator, and humanitarian. Dr. Irvine served as the Acting Chief of the then-Division of Ophthalmology at UCLA School of Medicine from 1949 to 1959.

During this period, he established the teaching and training program of the Division of Ophthalmology and planned the first Ophthalmology Outpatient Clinic at the UCLA Medical Center.

The Irvine family remains as a pillar of ophthalmology in Los Angeles.

Dr. Bateman started her

career as a carhop at Hody’s restaurant in Long Beach, California and her affiliation at UCLA began in 1974 as an internal medicine medical intern.

After her training, she became a full-time faculty member and professor of ophthalmology and pediatrics at the UCLA Stein Eye Institute as she was board-certified in both ophthalmology and medical genetics.

She moved to Denver to assume the positions of Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Chief of Pediatric Ophthalmology at The Children’s Hospital. She was the first woman chair of a department at the University of Colorado School of Medicine – and in a surgical department, no less!

She formalized many aspects of the ophthalmology residency, created three fellowships and recruited faculty. She formed bonds with the Lions of Colorado and Wyoming and built the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute as an anchor tenant on the Anschutz Medical Campus.

She continued her National Eye Institute funded research program on the genetic causes

of pediatric cataracts. She was the first woman president of the Association of University Professors of Ophthalmology (ophthalmology department chairs) and the second women president of the Pan American Association of Ophthalmology. For many years, she was the Honorary Consul from Nicaragua to Colorado. In 2010, she left the University of Colorado and returned to UCLA. At UCLA, she has worked with colleagues to create a unique training program leading to board certification in both ophthalmology and medical genetics, and with a research year; she anticipates that the program will be popular and provide medical schools nationwide with academic specialists interested in research of genetic diseases of the eye. She has worked with colleagues in Venezuela and Peru to establish a training program for ophthalmologists from Nicaragua and Honduras at the Bascom-Palmer Eye Institute in Miami. She continues to give presentations to Latin American ophthalmologists and work on her Spanish.

Work life balance and connection Many of us are stressed, author and speaker to provide attention, we should create frustrated and overwhelmed by work, tasks, supply chain interruptions, inflation, health issues, and interruptions. Answering e mails at the breakfast table and hosting webinars in the evening when your spouse wants to talk or binge watch a series on TV can create havoc in a relationship. When both of you are not in rotating in the same hectic rhythm, conflicts are inevitable. Resentment ensues causing each partner to find their perspective corner and stay put.

Recently, the Center for Relationship Education leadership team hosted a national

some insights into work-life balance. Her stories were our stories. She went right to the heart of staying connected through rituals and habits, to meaning and memories that are simple, but profound. The question she asked was, “What are some of things you do to stay connected to those you love. Answers were affirmations, expressing gratitude, cooking together, traveling together, shared tasks, short texts to check in, praying for one another, creating traditions, etc. Rather than focusing on differences or competing for each other’s time and

spaces that build connections, memories and legacy.

These sentiments are good, but how do we operationalize this? Suggestions included creating a Venn diagram with two circles that overlap creating a middle circle.

Outline what each partner’s goals, tasks, priorities, values, schedules are in the outer circles. In the inner circle highlight shared goals, tasks, priorities values and schedules. Once we take the time to describe how we overlap, we can then work towards expanding the inner shared circle. The larger the inner circle, the more connected we become.

Individuals treat goals and

pursuits as a solitary endeavor. What we know from research is that our relationships can either help or hinder our progress. For example, my husband is a fabulous cook.

He finds peace and creativity in the kitchen. God bless him!! I, on the other hand, am bone tired when I get home wanting to eat light and go to bed. When I finally asked him to assist me on a keto regime to reduce sugar and maybe even drop a few pounds, he decided to learn how to keto cook. He is doing his thing getting jazzed about cooking, and I am getting the support I need. I helped him help me.

Another suggestion for building connection is to acknowledge and accept each other’s help. By doing so, partners feel valued and

way for other women to follow.

Chaplain Jan McCormack, associate professor and chair of Chaplaincy and Pastoral Counseling Programs at Denver Seminary, was awarded the 2021 National Citizenship Award by the Military Chaplains Association of the United States of America, on Oct. 5, in Columbia, SC. This prestigious award is presented annually to recognize an individual or individuals who make a significant contribution in public service and who support the values and needs of US military members and their families.

Past recipients include Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mike Mullins, Senator Sam Nunn, and the Regimental Sergeant Major of Army Religious Affairs Specialists, Stephen Stott.

“As a retired Air Force chaplain, Chaplain McCormack was one of the first generation of women who served as a military chaplain,” said Lyman Smith, director of communications, Military Chaplains Association. “Her long and storied career helped redefine military chaplaincy as an inclusive profession and her collaboration and contributions over the years paved

the way for many to follow.”

Chaplain McCormack was a founding member of Women United in Ministry, a non-profit organization that supported women seeking to serve and serving as military chaplains. Their work included helping with training, providing mentoring, and advocating where and when needed to ensure military chaplaincy was fully available for all qualified candidates.

The work of Women United in Ministry continues today as part of the Military Chaplains Association.

In addition, McCormack produced The Work of the Chaplain, which has served as

more satisfied with their relationship. Sometimes it can feel self-serving to see your partner as a tool for what you would like to accomplish.

However, that is what we do to support one another. It is kind and compassionate.

Feeling important to one another creates a sense of accomplishment and caring.

The speaker ended the workshop with a memory jar.

Building heartfelt memories and recounting them to those you love creates connection and legacy. What does this have to do with work-life balance? In a word, everything.

When we are connected and supported, we are energized and can tackle the world. joneen@myrelationshipcenter. org a foundational overview and introduction of chaplaincy through the last 100 years.

The publication provides history, training, and guidance, which today serves as the basis for chaplaincy programs across the country. She was also instrumental in developing and implementing one of the first Master of Divinity programs with an emphasis in chaplaincy.

“We are honored to celebrate Dr. Jan McCormack, as she receives the National Citizenship Award,” said Denver Seminary President Dr. Mark Young. “Her work has been critical and influential in the field of chaplaincy, and the transformative effects of her service will reach across the nation for decades to come.”

McCormack remains a minister of the American Baptist Churches-USA and serves as chair of their Endorsement Committee for chaplains. She serves as an advisory board member of the Chaplaincy Innovation Lab and the Marsh Center for Chaplaincy Studies. McCormack is a National Faculty Certified Educator with the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc. She continues to teach on a regular basis and speaks often at national and denominational gatherings to encourage and support chaplains from all faith communities.

The Military Chaplains Association is an organization chartered by Congress with the mission of looking after the professional interest of both military and government agency chaplaincies.

2021 Honda Ridgeline sport truck rocks

BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST

I don’t like to describe rugged trucks as “pretty”, but this 2021 Honda Ridgeline all-wheel drive sport model is, let’s say “attractive.” The golden tire rims add to the “radiant red” exterior paint and black interior on the crew cab interior.

Scoring a five-star overall safety rating out of five stars is a crowning achievement for the final craftsmen in Lincoln, Alabama who assembly this truck in the good old USA. The Honda Ridgeline

meets the high standards of their namesake with a well-balanced truck with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $36, 490. The colored wheels are an extra option.

High performance comes from the 3.5L. 360 horsepower V6 engine linked to a push button nine-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters. The size and weight of the truck along with the powerful engine provide and overall 21 mpg in fuel consumption. With the price of gasoline rising, gas mileage

is once again a factor in vehicle selection and leading to more hybrid choices.

The Ridgeline is designed to work and to pull trailers up mountain highways to Colorado playgrounds and ski resorts. A heavy-duty transmission cooler is standard equipment for the workload. The truck body has unit body construction and four-wheel independent suspension, good for climbing over objects on rough mountain trails. The sport vehicle comes with an integrated class III trailer hitch and harness.

DISTRICT barred.

Fire Station fans Families and teachers from Homestead Elementary’s first grade visited the South Metro Fire District Station 32 across from Greenwood Village City Hall on Sept. 11. They brought thank-you cards and baked goods to show their appreciation to the station crew. The firefighters were very gracious in turn and spent time

with the kids, gaving them fire hats, stickers and a very cool tour of the fire truck and

emergency vehicles. It was a wonderful way to honor our local first responders.
