Arapahoe County accepts national award for leading digital innovation in Human Services SUBMITTED BY ARAPAHOE COUNTY

Arapahoe County received the Digital Edge 50 award for HSConnects, the county’s latest innovative business management software used in Human Services. The recognition was given by International Data roup, the world’s leading technology media, data and marketing services company, during the A E DA1 conference, March 1 - 20. This prestigious honor was bestowed upon a select group of organizations that have executed digital transformation initiatives with significant, measurable business impact.

I was honored to accept the Agenda1 Digital Edge 50 Award on behalf of Arapahoe County, said Arapahoe County Commissioner ancy Sharpe. nly one quarter of organizations that apply are awarded and recognized for their leadership and innovation in the area of technology. ur teams led

by Human Services Director Cheryl Ternes and Information Technology Director David essen, developed the system that enables faster and even better service to Human Ser-

vices clients. The results have been so positive that Arapahoe County is sharing HSConnects with nine other counties across the state. I am extremely proud of the outstanding work of these teams.

HSConnects is an imaging, electronic work ow and interoperability program that is designed to ingest documents and data, read state systems for case information requirements and deliver prioritized documents and tasks to the correct worker at the correct time.

The technology allows families and individuals to bring in their important documents and have it scanned immediately, prioritized appropriately and guaranteed accuracy so that human error is significantly reduced. Since its launch in 2015, error rates dropped from 30 percent to nearly zero.

The documents saved in HSConnects can be instantly viewed by other benefit specialists who can then identify, process and grant additional assistance to families and individuals quickly and efficiently.

These improvements are extremely valuable as many of

the individuals and families that are served are in dire need of help to put food on the table, keep their power on, or in need of immediate medical care.

Families and individuals who receive benefits, often times qualify for other public assistance and services and they may not even realize it, Ternes said. It is the Human Services work to help identify the needs of individuals and families and ensure they are provided the services available to them. HSConnects helps us move from being a transactional business to a transformational agency and help those we serve get on a path to economic security. It is our mission to end the cycle of poverty and prevent abuse and neglect of children and vulnerable adults and this tool is essential to getting there.

This efficiency has allowed Arapahoe County to become one of two large Colorado counties to comply with Federal and State timeliness mandates in 2016 and 201 . In 201 , the county was recognized by the ational Association of Counties and was the

only large county to receive consecutive C-Stat Distinguished erformance awards from the Colorado Department of Human Services for outstanding performance. ot only is HSConnects beneficial to our clients, it saves county taxpayers nearly 1.5 million annually through the reduction of temporary staffing and overtime, essen said. The digitization of applications has reduced paper consumption by million sheets and the county achieved these significant savings on an initial year investment of 1 0,000, a payback period of only six weeks.

It’s great to see the value HSConnects has as we are mak-

ing the technology available to other Colorado counties, working collaboratively to bring better service across the state.

HSConnects is up and running in Eagle, El aso, itkin, ueblo and roomfiled Counties. Later this year, Adams, Morgan, Fremont and Routt Counties will launch HSConnects. hile Arapahoe County currently uses HSConnects for Food Assistance, Health First Colorado, Colorado orks and Adult Financial program, future plans include expanding to Child Support Services, Child Care and Child and Adult rotection Services.

GV prohibits use of investment property as Airbnb

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

City officials in reenwood illage have received complaints about short-term Airbnb-type renters in single-family neighborhoods. o similar complaints have come from apartments or any of the other multi-family areas in the city. An investigation revealed there are around 0 single-family homes in being used for Airbnb-type rentals and that percent of those rent only one or two rooms, most only one. nhappy callers said that short-term renters were provided gate access in a gated community, access to private swimming pools and that guests were provided marijuana and or allowed to smoke marijuana on the back patio.

To combat this problem, April 1 the City Council passed a new law that prohibits investors from using homes in

as Airbnbs. It allows only one’s primary residence to be used for short-term rentals and it is explicit in defining what constitutes a primary residence. Even though homeowners who rent their homes this way are required to get a lodger’s tax license typically used for a hotel, city law prohibiting more than three unrelated adults living in one single-family home applies to the short-term rental. There was no discussion about how this rule could be enforced. Homeowners who use their primary residence for short-term rentals are also be required to get a sales tax license so that they can collect and remit both sales and lodging taxes to the city.

The city will also ask homeowners who apply for a lodger’s tax license under this law for proof that their homeowner’s association has approved the use of their property for short-term rentals, though it admits it has no legal jurisdic-

tion or enforcement authority over the relationship between a property owner and their homeowner’s association.

Introduced by City Council Member eorge Lantz, currently serving as mayor pro tem, the new law passed unanimously on first reading April 1. A public hearing was held, but no one testified from the public and no member of the city council said anything about the new law before voting on it. Like many laws and policies, all the discussion on this subject was held in previous city council study sessions held at 6 p.m. in the community room before every official Monday night meeting but are sparsely attended. nless anyone questions it, the law will become final at city council’s next meeting April 15 and take effect shortly thereafter.

The complete text of the law can be found on page 21 of the April edition of The Villager.

Arapahoe County invites nonprofits to apply for Aid to Agencies grants Funds available in 2020 for human services, health, and crisis aid organizations SUBMITTED BY ARAPAHOE COUNTY The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners is seeking grant applications from human services, health and wellness, and crisis intervention agencies for its 2020 Aid to Agencies funding.

Grants will be awarded to selected nonprofitorganizations serving Arapahoe County’s at-risk and underserved populations. Funds cannot be

used for religious or political purposes.

Last year, the commissioners allocated more than $1.68 million in Aid to Agencies grants from the county’s General Fund to more than 20 nonprofit organizations, including Aurora Mental Health Center, Doctor’s Care, Food Bank of the Rockies, Gateway Domestic Violence Services, TLC Meals on Wheels and Tri- alley Senior Citizens Association, to name a few.

Applications for 2020 grants must be received by 4:30 p.m. June 6. Interested organizations can download

an application and find out more information at www. arapahoegov.com/261/Aid-toAgencies. Agencies also may call 303-734-5459 to request information and an application packet by email. The Aid to Agencies application consists of a standard form, program narrative, revenue/expense summary and documentation.

The commissioners will review all applications during the 2019 county budget process. Funds that are awarded will be available in January 2020. This application is for a one-year period only and applicants must reapply annually.

Crews spring into action patching potholes With the warmer temperatures of spring upon us, Colorado Department of Transportation maintenance crews now are focusing on repairing the potholes that have formed on the state highway system over the last several weeks.

“Pothole repairs are taking place throughout the state, as weather conditions allow,” said CDOT Division of Highway maintenance director Kyle Lester. “I’m asking for people to slow down driving around our mobile work zones. ur crews are doing their best to repair the high-

ways and make the road surface safer for travel.”

Potholes are caused by the expansion and contraction of ground water under the pavement. hen the water freezes, it fills more space under the pavement, which then expands, bends and cracks, weakening the road surface. When the ice melts, the pavement contracts, leaving gaps or voids underneath the surface. This continuous freeze thaw cycle weakens the pavement and allows it to continue cracking.

As the weight of vehicles pass over the weakened pavement, it

causes it to break and creates a pothole.

“If a driver sees or hits a pothole on a state highway, we encourage them to contact us so we can get a repair scheduled,” added Lester.

“We appreciate it when drivers let us know where a pothole has formed so we can repair it as soon as possible.”

The public can call CDOT’s hotline number to report a pothole to a customer service representative for each area of the state: Metropolitan Denver Region ne 303- 5 -236 .

With immigration, we need to go to the source of the vast number of people owing north from Latin America. I believed that President Obama would do more with our southern neighbors, but that didn’t happen. So far President Trump has followed suit and we have even gone backward with relationships with Cuba. We’re attempting to bring about a coup in Venezuela and working with many neighboring Latin America countries to end that socialist regime that has taken one of the richest oil countries of the world into poverty.

It seems that very little is done to ease the financial and political demise to assist these countries and the people are suffering so much they are willing to walk thousands of miles to freedom. They hear the stories of the great opportunities and good jobs in America and those who have come to America send millions of dollars back across the borders each month to support family members still living in extreme poverty.

We should be going to the source of the mass exodus of people that is occurring across the Middle East and Latin America.

Here at home, we’re learning that elections do matter, and the state Legislature atmosphere is

described by some as “toxic.”

It appears that the same socialistic mentality appearing in Washington, D.C., is spreading to some of our newly elected leaders who are attacking the energy business, and lining up hundreds of new bills to hinder business and offer rent controls, and enacting the new Red Flag Bill that will allow law enforcement or family member to ask a court to remove firearms from a home when someone is having a mental health crisis.

All of these issues have one common thread, that is a mental illness and we seem to go around the real issue of how helping those who suffer from substance abuse, disease af ictions, military service-related stress and lack of education and work skills.

The Red Flag Bill will no doubt end up in court, energy companies will have to deal with local governments more than in the past, and no doubt the use of public property issue will fail in the Denver City Election May 7.

There is a current movement in the country to change how the Electoral College votes are distributed. The current proposal, which passed the statehouse this year, says that Colorado’s electoral votes will go to the candidate that won the popular vote. However, there is a clause in the bill that this will only take effect if enough states pass similar legislation to reach the 280-vote threshold.

Although the president is the commander and chief of the Army, Navy and militia, it is only Congress that can

Crow announces mobile office hours for spring

In a first-of-its-kind program for the district, congressional staff will travel across Colorado’s 6th district to meet with constituents and assist with federal services.

Rep. Jason Crow has announced the launch of mobile office hours for spring. A firstof-its-kind program for the district, the mobile office hours will occur in all three counties in the sixth district making it easier for constituents who don’t live near the office to receive support and address issues with their representative. During the mobile office hours, staff can offer assistance with eterans benefits, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, immigration applica-

tions and other federal programs.

“Servant leadership begins with listening and the best way we can do that is by getting out there in the community.

Regardless of where you live in Colorado’s sixth district, our office is here to help, Crow said.

Dedicated to transparency and accessibility in government, Crow is one of the first members of Congress to publicly post his daily congressional office meeting calendar and is committed to hosting at least one town hall each quarter.

Mobile office hours for Spring are: April 23 (10 a.m. – 1 p.m.): Martin Luther King Library, 9898 E. Colfax Ave, Aurora

The blank page The greatest terror for a writer is the fear of staring at a blank page at which you are tasked with writing your weekly column.

Your head is spinning to find a topic that will enlighten your readers about a topic of current interest.

The dilemma facing the writer is how to decide on which topic would have the most impact on the reader.

Newspaper columnist traditionally write about controversial issues with a bias slanted to one side of the issue.

Persuasion is often the goal of the columnist.

At other times the columnist will simply pen a column that purely entertains the reader.

But the most exasperating moment for a columnist is facing an editor’s deadline

May 2 (10 a.m. – 1 p.m.): Location TBD, Thornton May 9 (9 a.m. - noon): Bemis Public Library, 6014 S. Datura Street, Littleton May 14 (9 a.m. - noon): Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd, Centennial In addition to mobile office hours, constituents can visit Crow’s district office at 3300 S. Parker Road, Suite 100 in Aurora. The office is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.

– 5 p.m. and can be reached by telephone at 720-748-7514.

Constituents visiting Washington, D.C. can also visit his office located in room 1229 of the Longworth House Building. and your page is still blank.

For me this difficult challenge happens infrequently but when it does that challenging deadline seems insurmountable.

I can only hope that this so- called writer’s block will quickly subside and my passionate love of writing will again fill my brain with the creative juices necessary to comment on my observation of the state of our affairs.

Thank you for your understanding of this columnist dilemma.

Ask a human resources expert: Three critical questions to pose before filling a role

BY DSEDP

When it comes to Human Resources (HR), Susan Rogers, president at thesholdHR, has seen it all.

Big, small and in between, she’s been helping businesses make hard HR decisions as both a corporate executive and a consultant.

One of the biggest HR decisions any manager has to make is how to fill an open role in the organization. “A headcount is a precious thing,” says Rogers. Finding the right person at the right time can make or break your company, department or project.

Rogers says that every day a role goes unfilled is costing you money, whether due to the tasks of the role being left uncompleted, lost productivity as the search continues, or simply the general cost of recruiting.

That’s worrisome, especially when you consider the average length of time from interview to hiring keeps getting longer.

While speed in recruiting is important, it is just as critical to find the right person. Rogers has found that asking yourself these three questions before you begin a candidate search will not only accelerate the process, but ensure you get the right hire:

“What exactly is it that I want this person to do?”

The word of the day is specific.

“The key to any successful recruiting is to know what the person is going to do, specifically, Rogers says.

That starts with a solid, specific job description.

“It doesn’t have to be Shakespeare, but it must be very clear and describe what kind of experience and skills a candidate will need to be able to do that job.”

If you need someone in accounts payable, it’s not enough to simply list the title and function. What are the actual day-to-day duties and tasks you need this person to complete?

There are all kinds of roles and duties within accounts payable, and you’ll never find

a candidate with the right skills if you don’t know exactly what you need from them.

“What can we afford and what can we not afford?”

Once you’ve got your job description together, you need to consider what it will cost to hire the right person.

Rushing to fill the role just because it’s open might seem prudent, but what if you waited one more quarter?

“It’s about making sure you understand the costs of filling the role and not filling the role,” she says. If waiting means you’ll be able to hire the skills and experience you really want, it could be worth it, “as long as you don’t burn out the people that are around you” in the process.

On the other hand, some smaller companies may only have a certain amount they can afford to pay, and the cost of not filling the role is too high. That’s when it becomes important to let go of that “O” word. verqualified is in the eyes of the candidate,” Rogers says. “You lay out what the job is, and they decide if they want to do it or not.”

Just because they have more experience than your job description requires doesn’t mean you have to pay them more. “If they have a Ph.D. and apply to be a broom pusher, you pay them like a broom pusher.”

Figuring out what you can afford upfront and being transparent about that with candidates will save time and stress, for both you and applicants.

And, as Rogers says, hiring the right candidate means hiring the best skills.

“I always recommend hiring the very best skills and experience you can afford.”

“Should we reorganize and hire something completely different?”

“Every time there’s an opening, there’s an opportunity to reorganize, especially with higher level or managerial positions,” Rogers notes.

She says that reorganizing is not always the right answer, but it’s always

a legitimate question.

Rather than spending time on a lengthy job search, you might already have the perfect candidate inside your office. erhaps it makes more sense to elevate someone internally, even if it means shuf ing things around.

You’ll never know if you don’t ask the question.

Finding the right candidate ou ideally want to fill

each position only once,” she says. “It takes a lot of time and energy to go through the recruiting process.”

Turnover is expensive.

Research shows that turnover can cost companies more than 1.5 times the salary of the position.

The best way to avoid turnover is to hire the right person in the first place. As Rogers notes, “We often spend more time picking out refrigerators than we do the

people we’ll be working eight to 10 hours a day with.”

It’s easy to become enamored with someone you get along with, but is that really the best person for the job?

“Chemistry is a good thing, but you can’t just count on chemistry when you get down to the nitty gritty of getting stuff done,” Rogers says.

Finding the right fit means stepping back to ask yourself important questions, and ensure you’re being honest with your answers.

You might get along great with a candidate, but if their background is in regimented, policy-heavy workplaces, and you’re hiring for a exhours startup, it probably isn’t going to work out.

Taking the time to ask these questions will save you and your hiring team time, resources and aggravation. Sounds like a smart approach to us.

Aurora City Council weighs its election options

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

After opening the door to the possibility of administering its own municipal election in November due to concerns about actions by the Arapahoe County clerk that disturbed some of its members, the Aurora City Council received a presentation April 8 in a study session. The presentation was made by Carolyn Boller, election commission chair, City Clerk Steve Ruger and Karen Goldman, consultant.

Charlie Richardson, the coun-

cil member who raised the issue related to Arapahoe County Clerk Joan Lopez openly endorsing his election opponent, was not present for the study session.

Goldman reported discussing what might be possible with staff from the Secretary of State’s office, who told her they could not provide oversight for the upcoming Aurora municipal election.

She told city council she also talked to Jim Candelarie, former county clerk for roomfield, who expressed interest in acting as an election monitor if the city wished to retain him for that purpose.

Ruger said that the election

commission was unclear how a monitor would address city council’s concerns but had some ideas about statements that could be added to the intragovernmental agreement between the city and the county clerk regarding the election that might add safeguards to the process.

Mayor Bob LeGare reported that he met with Lopez and Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners Chair Jeff Baker April 5 to share his concerns. LeGare determined that the staff who conducts election operations in the county clerk’s office was virtually unchanged since Lopez took over. On the question of Aurora running its own election in November, LeGare said, “I think that would be a big overreaction based on where we stand right now.”

Council member Dave Gruber wanted to know how Lopez felt about her actions supporting

Fines and fees to increase in Centennial court

BY DORIS B. TRUHLAR GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Traffic fines and fees likely will be increased, and municipal court costs will go up if the Centennial City Council adopts the plans it discussed at a recent study session to consider those topics, as well as the likely adoption of the 201 Model Traffic Code.

Council appeared to be in agreement that the fines should be raised, and that the court costs should be raised. The city first adopted the Model Traffic Code in 2003, two years after Centennial was formed. It did not adopt any other model codes because there were portions of the proposed

codes with which it was not in agreement.

The council engaged in an extensive discussion of fines and traffic rules. Arapahoe County Sheriff’s ffice ureau Chief Glenn Thompson told council “it is the law” that vehicles must move over to make room for emergency vehicles.

Jennifer Madsen, assistant city attorney, answered many of the questions raised about the model code and traffic regulations in general. She said that on roads where there is not enough room for a car to pull over, vehicles must slow down to accommodate emergency vehicles.

Madsen said the primary

purpose of fines for traffic violations is to discourage the fined behavior. She also said that there is a 1,000 limit on fines in traffic cases. Councilman Ron Weidmann said that, in many cases, the points on a driver’s record may be more important to him than the fine.

Councilman Mike Sutherland said that it is important that the fine for not putting children in seat belts is “substantial” because of the high danger of not fastening children into their seats.

City officials said that the Centennial Municipal Court does not pay for itself. It costs $1.40 for every $1 brought in to operate the Municipal Court, according to assistant city managers.

Richardson’s opponent that led to this situation. LeGare reported that Lopez did not seem to think it was a terribly big issue but that she would no longer endorse candidates on Facebook. Gruber raised the issue that a partisan group that he believed Lopez founded, had been recently transferred from her to her husband, with the telephone number associated with the group still being that of Lopez’s campaign.

Gruber proposed having the election for Aurora residents who live in Arapahoe County being potentially run by Douglas County. Goldman said she asked Douglas County officials about that and they declined. Gruber also proposed potentially adding language to the intergovernmental agreement with the Arapahoe County clerk’s office prohibiting the clerk and other top officials from accessing certain election

data as votes come in.

After all city council members present weighed in, including Crystal Murillo, who said that she did not believe there was a consensus among council members that there was a problem that needed solving, Gruber brought the discussion back to, “Our responsibility is to ensure a fair and ethical election.”

After an hour of discussion, city council eliminated the options of holding their own independent election, hiring a contractor, or asking another county to conduct Aurora’s election, and retaining an election monitor. In the end, they decided to ask the election commission to recommend language to add to the intergovernmental agreement with the county clerk that would address their concerns, keeping in mind that it would have to be language the clerk would accept.

This is a noncompetitive way to support them all,” said Tank Chair Barb Findlay.

“The Tank fulfills our mission of going beyond helping businesses thrive and ‘raising all of the boats’ in our community.”

The Tank will be held at the Lone Tree Arts Center Tuesday, April 30, beginning at 3:30 p.m. Cocktails will follow presentations, followed by an award ceremony beginning at 5:30 p.m. onprofits scheduled to present are Courageous Faces Foundation, Zane Beadles Parade Foundation, Friends First Home Builders Foundation, ShesCHERIshed and Warrior

Tips to help make walking more fun and effective

BY SANDRA CREWS - HEALTH STRATEGIST, UNITEDHEALTHCARE OF COLORADO

With spring’s arrival and the days getting warmer and longer, people in Colorado can put on their shoes and experience the many health benefits of walking which may be one of the simplest and best ways to exercise.

April is Move More Month, an annual celebration established by the American Heart Association to encourage people, schools, workplaces and communities to get out and walk for at least 30 minutes and put themselves on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

Studies have shown walking more and sitting less may help people maintain a healthier weight, ward off depression and prevent serious health issues like heart disease. And a report from Harvard Medical School concluded that walking can help curb sweet cravings, boost the immune system and ease joint pain.

With that in mind, here are some tips to help make walking more fun and effective during April and year-round: Think FIT: While many people aim for achieving an aggregate number of total steps each day, research shows that

moving frequently throughout the day and taking at least one brisk, 30-minute walk also can have health benefits. That’s why people should think FIT, which stands for frequency 500 steps within seven minutes six times per day , intensity 3,000 steps within 30 minutes each day) and tenacity at least 10,000 total steps per day . If those targets seem daunting, remember it helps to start slowly and build up over time.

Find friends: alking can also double as a chance to socialize with friends, family or co-workers. lus, research shows there are several advantages to recruiting a workout friend, likely because that person can hold you accountable and offer support. And starting or joining a walking group at work or in your neighborhood can prove helpful, too. In fact, working out in a group lowers stress by 26 percent, compared to working out alone.

Walk with a wearable: Recent studies show that people tend to overestimate how much they exercise and underestimate sedentary time. To help understand your actual activity patterns and, ideally, reinforce positive habits to support sustained change, consider using a wear-

able device. This increasingly popular technology has been shown to help people remain diligent in achieving those daily step goals, while encouraging seemingly small healthy habits – each day – that can eventually translate to meaningful improvements.

Earn incentives: A majority of employers 6 percent offer incentive-based wellness programs, including some that enable employees to earn more than 1,000 per year by meeting certain daily walking goals.

Similarly, websites such as www. achievemint.com enable people to earn cash rewards for walking.

Throughout April, people can go to www.uhcwalkingmaps. com, sign the pledge to walk more and become eligible for a chance to win one of hundreds of walking-related prizes, including a trip for two to hike the rand Canyon or Apple Watch. On behalf of the first 25,000 people to sign the pledge, UnitedHealthcare will donate approximately 25,000 to help reduce childhood obesity, including contributions to the oys and irls Club of Metro Denver.

So, this Move More Month, consider these walking tips as you take a step toward better health.

Rendon chosen as new CEA executive director

The Colorado Education Association named Kathy Rendon its new executive director, effective April 1. Rendon previously served as the manager of CEA’s Center for rganizing and CEA deputy executive director.

“Kathy is a bold strategic planner and visionary team leader who has directly contributed to CEA’s success in increasing membership and empowering our members to take action for public education, said CEA president Amie Baca-Oehlert. “She is a tireless champion and advocate

for our students and our profession, and I’m excited to begin CEA’s next chapter with Kathy as our new executive director.”

Rendon has a strong record of accomplishment at CEA. She was the lead in managing the CEA Days of Action when 1 ,000 educators marched on the State Capitol in April 201 , and Rendon and her team played a key role in supporting local associations in ueblo and Denver during their successful strikes over the past year. The programs Rendon managed have consis-

tently led to membership growth in the union.

Rendon is a graduate of efferson County ublic Schools who earned a .A. in olitical Science at rovidence College, Rhode Island, and master’s degrees in international development and social work at niversity of Denver. Rendon has worked in the labor movement in Colorado for almost 16 years, including nearly a decade at CEA. She lives in Denver with her husband and two children who attend Denver ublic Schools.

Undiscovered Italy

By Carmel Scopelliti | Founder Of Travel Sister

Meet author Madeline Miller SUBMITTED BY ARAPAHOE LIBRARY

S

everal years ago, before Travel Sister was ever conceived, I was charged with planning an autumn trip to Italy with a group of friends. None of us had ever visited Italia but we knew we did not want the typical noisy tourist spots with brash crowds and blurred visits to monuments. The idea of settling into a quieter place where we could truly “feel” the country, connect to its culture, and get to know the people sounded much more appealing. We were traveling at harvest so the sun drenched vineyards, villages, and cucinas of the Italian countryside beckoned. But where to go? Tuscany? Maybe. But we wanted something a little different still. An Italian friend recommended a region I had never heard of called Piemonte which I later discovered is the crown jewel of food and wine according to the Italians. Piemonte, specifically the Langhe Valley, is home to the famed white truffle, the coveted wines of Barolo and Barbaresco, exquisite produce, endless cheeses, and hundreds of pastas. It is also the birthplace of the Slow Food Movement - a 33-year old anti-fast food campaign that strives to promote local food and traditional regional cuisine. That was it. We were hooked.

We booked a stay in an authentic Italian agriturismo (farmhouse hotel) in a village near Asti owned by a charming English couple who was living the dream in Italy.

They acted as tour guides, translators, and loving stewards of our experience. Together we shopped the markets, studied Piemontese cooking creating dishes like Vitello Tonnato (veal with tuna sauce), fried stuffed zucchini flowers and rabbit stew with gnocchi. We spent languid afternoons strolling nearby vineyards chatting with locals as they harvested their grapes.

Each night we gathered around a large community table chatting and laughing it up with other international guests; savor-

ing our meal as we drank wine from huge unmarked dark bottles tasting the grapes from which the elixir originated.

The memory of this deeply meaningful trip has stayed with me for years and I now believe became the vision and and mission behind Travel Sister. I am thrilled to be returning to Piemonte this September and hope to recreate the magic of this very special place.

2018 had 17 wins and seven losses with an ERA of 2.85 has already recorded three losses in four starts with an ERA of 5.40. Gray has been spotty with three losses and an ERA of 4.19.

It doesn’t get any easier this coming week as the Rockies will play two games at Petco Park with the Division-leading San Diego Padres, then return home to face the Philadelphia Phillies and the

Washington Nationals.

We’ve watched the Rockies struggle with prolonged slumps or pitching woes in years past. But we also remember the remarkable runs in 2007 and in August of last year. Let’s hope that Sunday’s 4-0 win highlighted by Marquez’ outstanding performance and Arenado’s first home run in 6 plate appearances sparks the breakout we’ve been waiting for. btgalloway@villager publishing.com

Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown and State Rep. Tom Sullivan listen intently to 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler discuss the importance of focusing on crime victims.

Victims’ Rights Week awards ceremony

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On April 9 the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s ffice held a dinner program at the PACE

Center in Parker to honor outstanding law enforcement professionals and volunteers who have dedicated their careers to

protecting the rights of victims of crime.

The evening began with a presentation of colors and a beautiful and moving rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Dawn Elzi.

Garrik Storgaard was honored as a career prosecutor who has dedicated his professional life to serving crime victims.

Two individuals were recognized as outstanding victim advocates in the 18th Judicial District. They did not wish their names to be used because they have been crime victims themselves. Marc White was selected as this year’s top district attorney’s investigator and Michelle Karol, who works with the Castle Rock Police Department, was chosen as the outstanding “individual volunteer who goes above and beyond on behalf of serving crime victims.” Karol said there is nothing she would rather do.

George Brauchler, district attorney, dedicated the Rebecca Ann Bartee training suite. Bartee had only been an assistant district attorney in Brauchler’s office when she was murdered 17 years ago in her apartment at 6500 S. Dayton Street in unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Her killing went unsolved until 2017, when a witness contacted Channel 4 reporter Brian Maass,

Longtime highly respected CBS-4 reporter Brian Maass was acknowledged for his role in bringing a murderer to justice.

who connected the witness with former Arapahoe County Sheriff Dave Walcher, leading to the identification and charging of the likely murderer, who himself died before his trial.

The Elbert County Coalition Outreach (ECCO) and its director Erica Johnson were named outstanding nonprofit. ECC runs a thrift store where victims can always get what they need, including clothing and shoes.

Caren and Tom Teves, whose son Alex, 24, was killed in the Aurora movie theater shooting in 2012 when he blocked his girlfriend from a bullet, were honored for the achievements of the organization they formed in Alex Teves’ honor, No Notoriety, which has successfully prevented the names of crime perpetrators from being stated in news reports and stories, stopping them from achieving any recognition, so that news accounts focus strictly on victims.

Celebrating the honorees were Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, state Rep. Tom Sullivan and his wife Terry, Elbert County Commissioner Chris Richardson, and Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas, a 26-year veteran of the Colorado State Patrol who retired as a major. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

t’s not often you see kids today put down their smartphones and exercise anything other than their opposing thumbs. But the members of Boy Scout Troop 814 provided for some fast racing that attracted multiple participants from various BSA troops and attracted the attention of numerous Southwest Plaza shoppers April 13.

BELOW: Scout Mica Marner, race commissioner, weighed the pinewood derby race cars to make sure they did not exceed five ounces, and Brendan Fitzjarrell, inspector who verified the car’s measurements and dimensions did not exceed seven inches long, 2.75 inches wide and must have 1.75 inches of between the wheels to fit on the track, with a minimum of 3/8 of an inch of clearance from the bottom of the car.

The pinewood derby racecars zip by as Cub Scouts in the front row get a quick glimpse. Of note the pinewood cars go pretty quick, race actually is over in a few seconds over a 30-foot long track.

Member Brendan Fitzjarrel, the race day commissioner, monitors the electronic finish. The pinewood derby race cars require a soft padded backing to be stopped since the speeds attained could damage the car with a hard impact.

CDOT graduates 17 from drug recognition program Program aims to reduce impaired driving on Colorado roads There were 14 law enforcement agencies across Colorado that gained additional capacity to identify and arrest drivers impaired by drugs.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is graduating 17 new Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) from a training program hosted by the Loveland Police Department. The nine-day Drug Recognition Expert Training included officers from 1 police departments, sheriff offices, and state patrol troops

throughout the state. Graduating from the program from the local Littleton Police Department is fficer isse Ramer.

The officers who are graduating are to be commended for their commitment to traffic safety and making our roads safer from impaired drivers,” said Kim Ferber, DRE State Coordinator for CDOT. “With 30 percent of deaths on our roadways attributed to impaired drivers, drug recognition experts are critical to reducing that number and ultimately getting to our goal of zero deaths.”

The Colorado DRE program was founded in 1987 and is administered and fund-

ed by CDOT. The program trains peace officers to detect and articulate the signs, symptoms and indicia of drugs other than alcohol in subjects arrested for Driving Under

the In uence D I or other offenses. Colorado’s ending prohibition on marijuana makes the DRE a more valuable resource to an agency than ever before.

Slices of Life - Dreamers

BY JILL PERTLER

My husband has the most exciting dreams. They are action adventures like something out of a James Bond or Tarzan movie – oftentimes both. They involve racecars and roller coasters and swinging on vines throughout a rainforest. He’ll often describe them in detail the next morning.

Sometimes I can tell he’s in the middle of one of his dreams because he moves slightly in his sleep. His feet twitch or his hands wiggle. I wonder what sort of adventure he is on. I know I shouldn’t wake him; that would be mean. But sometimes I can’t help myself. My curiosity gets the best of me.

I tap him ever so gently on the shoulder, whisper his name and ask, “What are you dreaming about?”

His answers are brief. Things like “biking,” or “climbing a mountain, or ying.

He’s brief because he is sleeping – still engaged in his adventuresome dream. I imagine he has quite an imagination. I suppose we all do when uninhibited by the factor of sleep.

My dreams are much less exciting than my husband’s. I still dream about school sometimes.

Many of us have experienced the proverbial school dream/ nightmare. I’m there on the first or second day and I don’t have my schedule or locker combi-

nation or maybe both. It’s discombobulating. I try to find the office to get another copy, but I keep getting lost. The hallways are an empty labyrinth of lockers and tile.

And the people who show up in my dreams! In a word?

Random. Someone I once knew in a history class back in high school might have a starring role in a dream, never to be seen or heard from ever again. Often, I have strangers in my dreams, or at least I think they are strangers.

They could be some random co-worker from my first job at the Dairy Queen who I’ve forgotten everywhere but in the subconscious. Dreams are weird that way.

You don’t have to be an adult to dream. Experts theorize babies dream beginning at birth. Of course, their course material is limited due to the limited scope of their earthly experiences. Still, they dream about something; we just don’t know what. hen he was just an itty bit, son No. 2 experienced some of the scariest of dreams: night terrors. He’d sit up in bed, eyes wide-open, sometimes screaming, sometimes crying out but always afraid and always asleep – wide eyes and all. We learned not to try to wake him, but to hold him gently and keep him safe. Not to shout his name but to repeat it quietly. Usually he’d

wake up, remembering nothing of his terrifying experience.

He outgrew his sleep terrors.

Thank goodness for that. But he still dreams. We all do. It’s part of the human condition. It’s our way of eshing out and sorting through the experiences we encounter while awake. We relive and rehash and reimagine the real and not so real. The rules of everyday logic and life don’t exist in the land of dreams – where six-foot tall men, like my husband, can y.

At my house we are experiencing a new generation of dreamers.

My granddaughter dreams.

I’ve watched her. I wonder what her brain ponders during the blanket of sleep. I always assumed she dreams about the things she knows, the things experts would agree upon: hunger, warmth, kindness, pacifiers and wet diapers. But this week, when she was here and napping, her little feet were twittering. Her tiny hands were moving just like someone else I’ve observed sleeping. As I contemplated her movements, I came to the logical conclusion: maybe she is ying.

How cool would that be?

In his second bill, Crow promotes energy efficiency

Rep. Jason Crow introduced his second bill this month, the Saving Americans Value through Efficient Energy Act (the “SAVE Energy Act”) to promote energy efficiency among consumers. The bill provides homeowners with a tax credit upwards of $500 for investing in energy efficient improvements such as better windows, doors, roofing, insulation, and HVAC systems.

DeGette, others introduce legislation to ‘save local news’

Reps. Diana DeGette, Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) introduced a resolution today to recognize the vital role that local journalists play in promoting good governance and accountability. The measure was introduced as part of an ongoing effort by DeGette and other members of a working group formed to protect and promote local news outlets across the country.

Gardner honored with National Park Heritage Award

Gardner received the 2019 National Park Heritage Award from the National Parks Conservation Association for his leadership in the signing into law of the landmark John D.

Gardner, Warren reintroduce STATES Act with broad bipartisan support

Senators Cory Gardner and Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) reintroduced the Strengthening the Tenth Amendment Through Entrusting States Act (STATES Act) with broad bipartisan support that spans the political spectrum. Not only does this commonsense legislation have bipartisan support, it also brings together key players across the business community. The overwhelming support for the STATES Act shows that the time has come for the federal government to respect state decisions on this issue.

Fields’ bill to protect minors from human trafficking

The Colorado State Senate voted 33-0 with two excused to pass SB19-185, Protections for Minor Human Trafficking, a bill sponsored by Sen. Rhonda Fields to increase protections for minors who are victims of human trafficking and increase penalties for human traffickers.

It now heads to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Reintroduce CLIPS Act to address cybercrime

Senators Cory Gardner and Chris Coons (D-Del.) reintroduced the bipartisan Cyber League of Indo-Pacific States (CLIPS) Act, which would establish a cyber community of regional allies and partners to combat cyberattacks that threaten the U.S. economy. The legislation would further the robust cybersecurity cooperation called for in the Asia Reassurance Initiative Act.

Senate unanimously advances bill to offer supplemental academic instruction

The Colorado State Senate voted unanimously to advance HB19-1206, Higher Education Supplemental Academic Instruction, a bill sponsored by Sen. Jeff Bridges that would help more students succeed in pursuing advanced degrees.

You are enough!

My heart aches for parents and family members who experience a teen suicide.

This tragedy is devastating to family, friends and the community. Everyone is left wondering if they could have done something to prevent this. Suicide is so complex. No one has answers.

I can only outline some of the things I experience when working with teens.

Working with adolescents is a joy. They are refreshing, warm and honest when they feel safe. Feeling close to a caring adult and being

able to share struggles is essential to their health and well-being. There is a misperception that suicide only happens to high-risk teens.

All children are at risk. They are under pressure to perform, they compare themselves to others and find themselves lacking, their brain is not developed, they are constantly tired due to the rapid brain growth they are experiencing, and they have limited coping and relationship skills. Add to this formula, a skewed social media where people only

her daughter and several of her friends. She agreed and we hosted a workshop. Ten girls from public and private schools attended. The girls were stunning, tall, well dressed and from highly resourced families. They lacked nothing, or so it seemed. We did a fun ice-breaker, got the girls talking with one other and then had them sit in a semi-circle. I told them I was going to ask a question and needed an answer no matter how long it took to get one. I said there would be periods of silence and it would be awkward, but I needed an answer.

My question was,” Are you enough?” Each girl stared at me for several seconds. One girl’s lip started to quiver.

“Talk to me from your heart.”

I said. She told me that she was not fast enough. She went on to say that her father was an Olympic medalist in track and field and now he was her coach, She could never get her dad’s approval with her performance. Each girl then explained why they were not enough. I told them that by the end of the day they were going to be enough. It was an amazing workshop building up these young women and letting them know, they are enough! Let’s work together to give children hope, letting them know they are enough, loved and connected.

We are all running so fast that relationships and meaningful connections are rare. Loneliness, isolation, disconnection and insecurity are associated with depression.

It was always said growing up how my sister was blessed with the beautiful eyes and I got the hair. That is true, and I was even born with an inch and a half tail. But, my hair has gradually became a lot thinner since a teen.

It’s natural to lose hair as we age, but my hair has always been import to me. I have worked hard to keep it healthy as possible.

It’s very common for PCOS women to experience hair loss and there are certainly other hormonal reasons women can deal with hair loss. Even going through a surgery can cause hair issues for a period of time. In my case, I didn’t have significant hair loss until my late 30’s. I was unaware that my progesterone was extremely low and my exercise routine was wreaking havoc on my hormones. Once I realized there was a problem after burning my scalp one day I reached out for help. I started doing treatments with an amazing acupuncturist/herbalist that had a specialty in helping women with hair loss, as she experienced a large hair loss issues when she was young over a form of birth control. Someday I will share more about her, but you can check her out at www.infinite-wellness.net.

Over two years ago I decided to try a hair care line that claimed to help people regrow hair. I was skeptical, I wasn’t sure if regrowth would occur when there was a hormonal factor. So, I put it to the test. I have been very pleased with the results of using these products. I don’t necessarily like that it’s an MLM type of company, but there is a reason that it is. MONAT haircare line needs to have representatives helping their customers when choosing the right products for them. We all have different hair types and needs.

Many seniors will have to move to nursing homes and lose their assisted living “home” if proposed regulations pass SUBMITTED BY JANET CORNELL MILLBROOK HOMES ASSISTED LIVING ADMINISTRATOR

Families choose assisted living when a loved one needs long-term care. But the many varied options that exist may soon be lost. Proposed regulations will change the face of assisted living in Colorado, forcing many residents who live in small residential homes, known as group homes, to pay more or risk being discharged to a facility that accepts Medicaid.

By 2030, Colorado’s senior population is projected to increase by over a half million people, or 68 percent to 1.3 million. At the time of this writing, industry representatives have indicated that more than 500 beds will be closed before the proposed rules go into effect later this summer.

Most small group homes charge less than large facilities.

Based on the proposed rules,

costs for residents may increase $600 to $1,200 per month. Those people on fixed incomes cannot absorb the increase costs and will be required to find alternate housing arrangements, most likely a nursing home. Relocating a senior is heart breaking for families and very disruptive for the senior.

Many small homes accept the PACE program, most commonly known as InnovAge in Denver or Medicaid. Six assisted living residences have announced closures as of July 1, 2018, many of them with Medicaid beds.

As small businesses review their midyear budgets, more closures are expected, especially those serving mentally ill or frail seniors on Medicaid. Low

income seniors as well as others will be asked to relocate.

The proposed regulations will create barriers for new companies to enter the marketplace, which in turn will negatively affect the supply of beds at a time when those 65+ is ever growing. Some investors in Boulder have already pulled out of projects. The proposed regulations will make it almost impossible for small group homes of eight beds or less to open.

The proposed rules are poorly written, ambiguous and rid-

dled with inconsistencies. The goal of the proposed rules is to improve the care and safety of the residents. However, residents who are a danger to self or others or who have dementia and wander cannot be placed in a secure assisted living home immediately because of the way the proposed regulations are written. The only choice will be to move them to a nursing home.

Smaller group homes will have problems complying with the increased oversight.

Training costs for employees will more than triple. Proposed license renewal fees paid to the state will more than double.

These increases in operating costs must be passed onto the consumer. Residents who are private pay will exhaust their

money quicker than expected and will also be forced into the Medicaid system.

So, one must ask, is the State of Colorado Health Department aware of these issues? The department has been advised more than 14 times by people in the industry of the negative impact on small business and consumers. The department is not taking into account the impact that the changes will have on older adults and the chronically mentally ill who need assisted living, putting many of them at risk of losing both the place they now call home and critical services to remain in the community.

What can be done at this point? Email or call Randy Kuykendall the department director at 303-692-2836 or randy.kuykendall@state.co.us. You are also highly encouraged to call, write or email your legislator and tell them your concerns.

How SSI can help low-Income seniors and the disabled In 2019, the SSI allowable income limit is $771 a month for an individual or $1,157 a month for a couple.

So, if your dad’s countable income is over the SSI allowable limit (this is based on a complex set of rules and calculations – see SSA.gov/ ssi/text-income-ussi.

SAVVYSENIOR

Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the Supplemental Security Income program and what are the eligibility requirements? My father is very low-income, so I’m wondering if this is something he may qualify for.

Searching Daughter

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for SSI your dad must be either age 65 or older, blind or disabled, and must be a U.S. citizen or lawful resident. He must also have limited assets and income.

His assets must be less than $2,000 or $3,000 for couples.

This includes cash, bank accounts, other personal property and anything else that could potentially be converted to cash. His home, household goods and one vehicle, along with life insurance policies and burial funds valued under $1,500, do not count toward countable assets.

The income limit to qualify for SSI, however, is much more complicated. Countable income includes wages or any other kind of money your dad earned from working, plus money he gets from other sources like unemployment, Social Security retirement or gifts from friends, but also, free food or shelter.

screens for a variety of benefits, not just SSI. You should also know that most states – except Arizona, Mississippi, North Dakota and West Virginia – supplement the federal SSI payment with payments of their own.

In some of the states that pay a supplement, your dad may qualify for the state payment even if he doesn’t meet the federal SSI eligibility criteria.

How to Apply

If you think that your dad is eligible for SSI, call 800772-1213 and set up an appointment to apply at his local Social Security office.

To help make the application process go quickly and smoothly, your dad should bring his Social Security number birth certificate

or other proof of age; information about the home where he lives, such as his mortgage, or lease and the landlord’s name; payroll slips, bank books, insurance policies, burial fund records and other information about his income and the things he owns; his proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status; and if he is applying for SSI because he is disabled or blind, the names, addresses and telephone numbers of doctors, hospitals and clinics that have information related to his condition.

For more information visit SSA.gov/ssi or call Social Security at 800-772-1213 and ask them to mail you a copy of publication 11000 “Supplemental Security Income

(SSI).” You can also read it online at SSA.gov/pubs/EN05-11000.pdf.

Other Assistance Programs

Depending on your dad’s income, needs and location there are other financial assistance programs that may be able to help him like Medicaid, prescription drug assistance, food stamps and energy assistance.

To find out what he may be eligible for go to BenefitsCheckUp.org. This is a free, confidential web tool that contains more than 2,500 programs.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070 or visit SavvySenior. org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

This is an all-around luxury all-wheel-drive that has held a popular style and design for the past five years. rand new or older, this model is eye-catching and overall quality for consumers.

Lexus GS-350 F Sport is a smart choice

ceived a safety rating score but will no doubt rank very high. Most recently Edmunds, the car shopping experts, announced their 2019 “Retained Value Awards” that Lexus and Toyota were awarded the highest projected residual values after five years with the highest awards in their class.

Night vision is enhanced with the Bi-LED auto-leveling high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel and the 16-way leather lined front seats are heated and ventilated.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $54,105 with a list of additional options that can include a 17 speaker Mark Levinson premium audio sound system and triple beam LED headlights.

Rear seating is adequate for children but cramped for adults.

This vehicle is an allwheel-drive four-door sedan that has a snow mode control for snow day drives.

The twin chrome exhaust pipes are a hidden clue to the road power of the F Sports sedan.

Lexus GX460 is all-around package The 2019 GX460 is a larger SUV with a 301-horsepower V8 engine that provides power to a variable six-speed transmission. It has second and third row fold at seating with leather trimmed seats.

Both front and rear seats are heated and very plush and comfortable.

Manufactured by Toyota in Aichi, Japan, the craftsmanship of the interior and exterior are excellent. The design of the GX460 has changed very little from last year’s model.

The 301-horsepower engine has adequate power and averages around 16 miles per gallons of fuel. This is a luxury SUV that has a manufacturer’s

My goal is to provide an ‘old-fashioned’ medical experience within a beautiful, modern facility offering state-of-the-art treatment and services. As a practice owner, I can curate the patient experience and quality of patient care in a way that I was not able to before.

The 3.5L engine and overall driving modes of eco/normal and sport provide sports car performance and overall fuel mileage of 21 mpg. The emission system has that great sound as the engine and transmission provide ample acceleration.

The suspension is made to support high speeds and has front independent double wishbone suspension and multi-link rear suspension.

The firm suspension system offers a firmer ride than some of the larger passenger Lexus line of luxury vehicles.

The F Sport model is loaded with the latest Lexus safety system that includes the pre-collision system that prevents striking a forward object. Additionally, pedestrian alerts, lane departure warnings and radar cruise control are among the best safety features.

creating positive cultures, she said.

The CCSD works with students to ensure they know what resources are available through counseling and mental health teams, Smith said. “But also, through programs at the school such as Signs of Suicide and Sources of Strength. All students have access to mental health professions regardless of their age and they do not need

parental permission to talk to mental health professional.”

Parents are contacted if the student presents a danger to themselves or others, she added.

According to the CCSD website, the Signs of Suicide (SOS) has been implemented in middle and high schools and works on a “model of peer-to-peer intervention.”

Research indicates that teenagers are more likely to turn

toward other students than adults when having a mental health crisis. By training students to recognize the “signs of depression and suicide, and by empowering them to intervene when confronted with a friend who is exhibiting these symptoms they can take action.

contagion. … It is extremely important for parents to talk to their children in the aftermath of the suicide of a peer and help them connect with mental health professionals if need be.”

All schools in CCSD have full-time mental health workers and a registered nurse on-site working with students, Siegfried said. High schools are also supported by counselors.

Because suicide is the leading cause of death for 10- to 24-year old’s in Colorado, Seigfried said state and community resources are needed to support mental health, but those funds have been dwindling. The new director will help address this issue.

Abbe Smith, CCSD spokeswoman, explained that the district has invested in mental health resources. Beginning this year CCSD started following a 3-2-1 model for mental health resource staff.

She explained that there is at least one mental health worker at every elementary school, at least two at every middle school and at least three at every high school.

“Additionally, we have counselors supporting every middle and high school. So, for example, at Cherry Creek High School, we have 11 fulltime counselors, three fulltime psychologists, one parttime social worker and two full-time nurses serving our students. In addition to mental health staff, we have a number of programs and partnerships that support students on issues of suicide prevention and bullying, but also resiliency and

Among the many questions posed and comparison between primary and November opinions, the following information made sense for party strategies. He also broke down Republicans into categories – traditional Republicans, Trump Republicans and other Republicans. The problems Republicans want solved in order are: 1- Immigration (want reform), 2 – Rising cost of health care, 3- Homelessness, 4- Marijuana impact. On all-day kindergarten, 62 percent oppose and 3 percent support. naffiliates have these numbers ipped. The respondents’ reason Republican losses were so great in 2018 – liberal voters moving to Colorado. What should we do to move

forward? Support the president and don’t compromise. Seventy-eight percent want Trump to run unopposed. He has a 90 percent job approval and 72 percent strong approval. What type of Repub-

lican do you want to support? According to the survey - 61 percent said conservative and uncompromising fighters with 33 percent responding moderate. (Even by age range.)

Stars who give back shine at Spring Brass Ring Children’s Diabetes Foundation raises $338,000 for research and treatment Children’s Diabetes Foundation (CDF) changed its annual luncheon and fashion show from fall to spring, renamed it Spring Brass Ring and it continues to be a smashing success packing the ballroom with approximately 800 at what is now the Hilton Denver City Center. A big part of the draw this year was Ben Higgins of The Bachelor fame (Season 20 in 2015). A slender 6’6” charmer, he was truly a fan favorite and one of the most popular in the ABC show’s history. I even had people ask me if I was attending the Brass Ring because they had heard rumors of his appearance weeks in advance and were envious. Higgins was master of ceremonies with several duties and super pumped to do the event. Thanks to Bradley Joseph, I was privileged to have a delightful interview with Ben just a week out from the luncheon. He is friendly, open, enthusiastic, positive, engaging (no pun intended) and generous with his time and information and I now know why he was and is so popular. He has had friends with a history of diabetes and has witnessed

the challenge. Trice Jewelers’ Justin Klomp introduced Ben to the CDF team and he could not be more thrilled to help. Philanthropy is important to him. He is president and co-founder of Generous International (great name!) that imports goods from all over the globe including coffee from Honduras and t-shirts from Haiti – life changing products to create and multiply good in the world. Ben divides his time between Los Angeles and Denver. After graduating from Indiana University, he moved to Denver.

(Remember that two vying for his attention in Season 20 were from Colorado – one from Denver, one from Greenwood Village.) In L.A., he has an iHeartRadio podcast – Almost Famous. Among other ventures, he has jumped into the culinary arena as a restaurant partner in Ash’Kar located in the Highlands. He hails from Warsaw, Indiana – a town of just over 14,000 and the new restaurant reminds him of one he enjoyed near his hometown that served smoky comfort food. When we chatted, he had just finished a workout at the gym. hen I asked how he was able to keep track of such an active lifestyle and full schedule, he replied: “really good time management.” Of course, I had to know if he was still a bachelor after the breakup with his chosen Lauren. He is taken!

For the last several months, he has been in a serious relationship with Jessica, from Nashville, Tennessee with LEFT: Uchenna Nwosu, co-chairs Neil and Barb Oberfeld, Ben Higgins, cochairs Shelley and Steven Lucas. Mrs. Barbara Davis was honorary chair.

whom he was instantly smitten.

Also, on hand at Brass Ring was gregarious and fun celebrity Uchenna Nwosu, the L.A. charger who was a second round draft pick in 2018. Uchenna, whose hero mother battles diabetes donated an exciting package to the live auction that included two tickets to a Chargers home game and multiple perks around the experience as well as autographed cleats with the CDF logo that he wore at the Chargers/Bengals game in 2018. He hopes to foster diabetes awareness and was an easy-to-convince participant for CDF. New York-based designer Rebecca Minkoff accompanied her subtly edgy collection that was also shown at the most recent Fashion Week. The elegant Rebecca is an industry leader in accessible luxury handbags, accessories, footwear, jewelry and apparel around the world.

Her brand was first launched in 2001, landed her on The Tonight Show and she was an instant sensation. She continues to push the boundaries of fashion and tech and supports multiple philanthropies. Named after the elusive brass ring that carousel riders try to catch, brass ring represents the ultimate goal of finding a cure for diabetes.

Barbara and the late Marvin Davis established CDF in 1977 after daughter Dana was diagnosed with diabetes at age 7.

Another theory behind painters’ preference for white work gear traces its origins to 19th century union painters.

Those in the union adopted the all-white uniform to differentiate themselves from non-union painters. Sometimes a black bow tie was added to complete the professional presentation.

There are some practical reasons for painters to wear white. White clothing tends to be cooler when working outdoors or in sunny locations. Should painter’s whites become dirty, they’re easily bleachable without the color fading. Also, white is a pristine color that will present the appearance of cleanliness.

Homeowners may readily invite and trust a clean worker

into their homes to get the job done. ainters often find that their business logo stands out sharply against the white of a uniform, which can be another practical reason to don some white overalls. White clothing also can be less expensive to replace.

Today, because there are many other paint hues available, painter’s whites may not be so pristine. But those variously shaded specks and splatters may be indicative of a seasoned professional who has put in many hours on the job.

Painters have long worn white as their unofficial uniform. The theories as to why vary, but the tradition is likely here to stay.

Deck trends continue to improve on the form and function of outdoor living spaces

of real aged wood.

• Wooden walkways Decking can be the more traditional design people envision with a patio table or outdoor furniture. But it also can consist of wooden walkways or a low-laying patio to accentuate the yard.

• Mixed materials Homeowners may be inspired by commercial eateries, breweries and urban markets in their exterior design choices. Decks featuring composite materials and aluminum railings blend sophistication, urban appeal and comfort.

• Personal touches Homeowners can customize their decks with personal touches. It’s not unheard of to wrap columns in stone or glass tiles for more impact.

And a vast array of decking colors now enables fun interpretations for outdoor areas.

• Fire pit conversation area Many decks can incorporate water or fire elements for visual appeal. as-fueled fire elements can expand the functionality of decks beyond the warm seasons or make enjoying them practical on nights when the temperature plummets.

Decks are reimagined in many different ways with continually evolving trends.

Why do painters wear white?

Painters decked out in white overalls is a familiar one to many people. Perhaps you’ve pondered just why painters wear white? The reasons behind painters’ sartorial choices is not easily verifiable, but it’s fun to explore nonetheless.

The actual name for a painting professionals wardrobe is “painter’s whites.” White canvas or denim pants, white t-shirt, overalls, and a white cap are often worn by painters.

The idea of wearing white may date back to the 1700s, when there were not a variety of house colors available. As a result, white was the primary choice of paint at this

expand usable outdoor entertaining spaces. Decks can surround pools and create outdoor patio areas that make it easy to establish multitiered living spaces, improving the functionality of outdoor areas.

Certain deck trends have emerged as industry experts’ top picks for the upcoming remodeling and renovation season. For those thinking of revamping an existing deck, or building an entirely new one, these trends are on point.

• Established perimeters “Picture framing” is not a new trend, but one that has taken greater hold in recent years. The term refers to aesthetically appealing designs that conceal the ends of deck boards for a clean finish. Some designs feature contrasting material colors on the ends for even more impact. This helps create refined perimeters for a polished look.

• Roof-top decking rban areas also can benefit from decking to create usable outdoor spaces. In fact, many new condominium and townhouse communities are incorporating rooftop decks into their designs, particularly in communities with water views or other

wouldn’t be readily noticed before laundering.

Painters also used to mix 50 pounds of “white lead powder” with a can of paint paste to make about two gallons of paint. The mixing process produced large amounts of white dust. To hide the dust, the painters wore white.

It is also believed that some painters crafted clothing from the white sails from ships.

impressive vistas. HGTV experts suggest roof-top decks feature light-colored materials and fixtures to help keep the area cool even in direct sunlight.

• Distressed hardwood Builder and Developer, a management resource for professional homebuilders, says that the trend for using

distressed hardwoods at home has migrated outside.

Some decking manufacturers have recently introduced low-maintenance composite deck boards that mimic the look and feel of distressed, rustic hardwood ooring. This weathered appearance gives the look of age without the upkeep

The Commission will be conducting a public hearing at the above time and date prior to making a formal recommendation to City Council regarding the proposed initial zoning of the Subject Property. City Staff is currently recommending that the Subject Property be rezoned to the Business Park 100 (BP100) zone district with certain modifications under the City’s LDC. NOTICE IS ALSO GIVEN that the City Council will conduct a public hearing on Monday, June 3, 2019, at 7:00 p.m. to consider the establishment of the initial zoning of the Subject Property.

The purpose of the public hearing on the matter of the initial zoning of the Subject Property will be to determine whether the Business Park 100 (BP100) district with certain modifications is the appropriate initial zone district for the Subject Property. City Staff will provide additional detail regarding the proposed initial zoning of the Subject Property at the public hearings to be held by both the Commission and City Council.

All interested persons will be given an opportunity to be heard at the public hearings referenced above.

The hearings will be held in City Council Chambers, Centennial Civic Center, 13133 E. Arapahoe Road Centennial, CO 80112 at the above noted times and dates.
