Smiles all-around as CHV cuts the ribbon Cherry Hills Village unveils new city hall
April 14 was the day the Cherry Hills Village had the ribbon cutting for the new $4.5 million city hall. Attending the ribbon cutting was Matt Hoster of WE O’Neil, Councilmember Afshin Safavi, Councilmember Mike Gallagher, architects with Cannon Design Katie Anderson and Steve Huff, Mayor Russell Stewart, former Councilmember Alex Brown, Mayor Pro Tem Katy Brown, former Councilmember Mark Griffin, Councilmember Al Blum, Councilmember Dan Sheldon, former Councilmember Earl Hoellen, former Mayor Mike Wozniak and Councilmember Randy Weil. Look for coverage of the ribbon cutting in next week’s Villager.
Mayor Russell Stewart presided over the ribbon cutting ceremony April 14, for the $4.3 new Cherry Hills Village City Hall structure complet-
ed on time and on budget. The new building is ADA compliant with modern security and safety features with a large parking area that can be shared with the new John Meade Park close to the new city hall and police facility.
The new city hall has a larger modern council chamber that doubles as the city courtroom and can be reserved for community events. The council chamber has an attached outdoor patio overlooking the ponds in
the John Meade park area. A smaller conference room can be reserved for community meetings called the “Three Pond Park” conference area. The building ows into administrative offices, conference rooms, break rooms

and record storage areas. Stewart stated at the ribbon cutting ceremony, “We, you, should be very proud of what the Village has and will accomplish with this campus. This is an excellent example of good government.”
GV council takes another pass at a transportation plan On April 15 Greenwood Village public works staff and the appointed community working group (CWG) presented city council with an updated draft of 25 rank-ordered, proposed roadway projects, along with other strategies to improve city residents and employees’
ability to get around. Those include a circulator bus, wayfinding signs for the Orchard Light Rail Station, and sidewalk connections around the city. Roadway projects were given top priority because, Public Works Director Jeremy Hanak explained, “As you all saw on the citizen survey results that was the No. 1 category, to make roadway improvements.
When we asked citizens what four areas would you like to improve, loud and clear No. 1 was roadway improvements.” As we previously reported, GV’s survey consultants told city council Feb. 4 that when asked in late 2018 what was most important to them in the area of transportation improvements, 53 percent of respondents chose road capacity
(e.g., road widening) as their first or second priority and percent listed it in their top four. The top ranked project on the recommended list was East Orchard Road from the I-25 southbound off-ramp westbound to South Quebec Street. Hanak explained the problem, familiar to virtually all GV drivers. He said, “As you go westbound (on Orchard Road) from I-25 ….
you’re in a through lane. All of a sudden, you have to turn left at Greenwood Plaza Boulevard, so you get over a lane. Then you have to turn left again at Quebec Street. So how can we provide some lane balancing there, signage, to get people in the lanes they need to be in if they’re wanting to head west or turn?” Continued on page 9

Centennial Mayor stresses relationship between governments BY DORIS B. TRUHLAR GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
Centennial ayor Stephanie Piko, in the annual Rotary Club/Centennial State of Our City speech April , stressed the city’s relationship with other governmental entities, including the two school districts (Littleton and Cherry Creek) in the city, and also dedicated much of the annual speech to the city’s FiberWorks Pro ect, which she noted came in ontime and under budget. The theme of this year’s speech was Live Connected, Grow Together. The mayor said that the schools are a big part of what brings neighborhoods together. She said the city looks forward to the exciting days ahead as the Littleton schools revitali e and grow by investing in infrastructure and designing new opportunities for students. She also referenced the opening of the new Cherry Creek School District STE (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) school, which will open this fall, and said it is another signal from our community that we are investing in the things that bring us all together. The mayor also works for the Cherry Creek School District. Piko also talked about the impacts of growth in the metro

Deal or no deal
The Mueller report cleared President Trump of any Russian collusion and after $30 million and two years it is time to move ahead. A handful of Democrats still want to investigate President Trump and attempt an impeachment. They should concentrate their efforts on what to do to help American citizens and get back to the work for the people. They should be working on some of these issues: • Bringing peace and ending the nuclear threat of North Korea • Ending the war in Afghanistan and bringing the troops home • Winning the trade war with China and ending trade deficits • Working to improve immigration laws to protect our borders • Finding a path for the Dreamers to remain in the U.S. • Working out better health
The major event I attended this week was the dedication of the new Cherry Hills Village City Hall. Mayor Russell Stewart cut the ribbon before an audience of villagers, construction and architecture teams, city employees and all present city council members and many past and present mayors including immediate past Mayor Laura Christman who led the last council through the completion of the new city hall and maintenance facility. Stewart related that “This city hall is not a cathedral but will be the identity and anchor for the Village for perhaps not 850, but many, many, years to come.” *** Later in the council meeting Christman reported on imminent FFA public hearings occur-

The new subdivision name has been changed to “Old Cherry Hills.” A team from Channel 9 showed up for the short meeting and interviewed council member Dan Sheldon and had a short segment later that same night about the name change. *** On Wednesday, I visited the RE A offices and visited with

States were protected by having an Electoral College to prohibit the larger states from taking power away from smaller states and giving two Senators to each state but allowing representation in government by popular vote for Congress. That system is also being challenged, that is insanity for Colorado and small states across America. Petitions are being circulated across this state to overturn the recent Colorado legislatures idiotic vote to eliminate this system and let New York, Texas and California run America. Deal or no deal for America.

quiet pallor over the streets and schoolyards. One mentally ill girl closed down schools for about 600,000 front range students. I was listening to KOA radio to keep up with the reports about her buying a shotgun. What would have happened on day two if they had not found her body and she was still on the loose? I would surmise that the schools would be closed for another day. At the Cherry Creek Schools district office there were four security cars parked in the vacant parking lot with the administrative offices closed. Would guess that the security guards were somewhere on the empty school grounds. The debate was raging on the radio whether they should Continued on page 6

The report The battle over interpretation of the Muller Report findings on Russian interference in the 0 presidential election has begun in earnest. The Republican’s claims, with the tacit support of Attorney General William Barr’s public statements that the still redacted report clears President Trump from collaborating with the Russians to support his campaign against Secretary Hillary Clinton and totally exonerates from any charges of obstruction of ustice. The Democrat committee house leaders claim that the report did not exonerate the president from a charge of obstruction of ustice in his efforts to shut down the ueller investigation. The ueller report does state, while this report does
not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. The Democrats threaten to subpoena the complete unredacted ueller Report to thoroughly examine its documented conclusions. While this intense battle rages between congress and the .S.

I enjoyed meeting Bob and Gerri Sweeney at the Metro Club St. Patrick’s party! I sent in my subscription to The Villager, and have already received my first issue. I specifically enjoyed reading Western Tales and Ramblin’ Around the Corral, by Barbwire Bob! As I told Bob, my family also published and printed a weekly Swedish newspaper in Denver, called The Western News, in which three generations were involved, namely my grandfather, Enoch (who emigrated from Sweden), my father, Glenn (nicknamed “Pete”), and myself. One of the ongoing newspaper articles by my father was entitled: “Ramblin’ Around with Pete”, which mainly pertained to our family
adventures around the Colorado Rockies, on Jeep trips, camping and other outings. Occasionally, I would write the article, with my by-line: “Re-Pete”. Our print shop was located at 12th and California, adjacent to The Daily Journal offices on Welton Street in downtown Denver. We also printed The Daily Journal, The Denver Police and Fire Journal and several local club and school newspapers, on huge presses, which became outmoded and defunct. Those presses are now buried under the Colorado Convention Center, when it was built, as no one wanted to buy or move the old presses and The Western News was retired. I am also a board member of the Consular Corps of Colorado, as
Honorary Consul for Sweden, and I join our current Dean, Deb Palmieri (who is the Honorary Consul General of Russia, as you know), in thanking you for providing press coverage in The Villager, for our Consular Corps’ diplomatic events and activities. I will certainly utilize your newspaper from now on, for printing my Notices to Creditors and other legal notices for cases pending in Arapahoe County, as part of my law practice, where I specialize in elder law, probate cases, guardianships, conservatorships and related estate planning matters. I am also looking forward to joining the revamped Metro Club! Donald Glenn Peterson Denver

An estimated 26,800 Colorado residents will learn they have cancer this year and getting to their scheduled treatment will be one of their greatest roadblocks. To ensure patients get the critical care they need, the American Cancer Society Road to Recovery program can help provide free transportation to and from treatment for people who have cancer and who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. “Every driver has what it takes to help save lives,” said Jen Briggs, mission delivery program manager for the American Cancer Society. “We’re urgently asking volunteers to share their
time and vehicles to take cancer patients to treatment when they have time in their schedule. Volunteers get to choose when they drive and how often.” Many cancer patients don’t have the capacity to drive or their family is unable to drive them because they are working to cover medical costs. Even the best treatment can’t work if a patient can’t get there. The Road to Recovery program provides transportation options for patients and is in need of volunteer drivers in Denver. Volunteer drivers donate their time and the use of their vehicles so patients can receive the can-

Roof repair -think ahead as hail season approaches SUBMITTED BY THE 18TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE
Spring and hailstorm damage go hand in hand, making it “high season” for contractor complaints. Given the numerous complaints law enforcement receives this time of year, now is the time to consider steps to take for repairing a roof or property in the event of hail or storm damage. Consider the following: The greatest number of complaints are against doorto-door contractors, especially those who come knocking right after a hailstorm. The most common complaint type is contractor nonperformance—the homeowner gives money up front to an untrust-
worthy contractor who may or may not begin the work and then disappears—closely followed by poor quality of work grievances. If the loss to the consumer exceeds the $7,500 amount for small claims court, the consumer may have to risk hiring an attorney to file a lawsuit. Consumers may end up winning judgments that they can never collect. Under the Colorado Mechanics Lien Law, subcontractors and suppliers have the right to place a lien on an owner’s property if they are not paid by the contractor for the work they performed on the home. The law insures that subs/suppliers are fairly paid for the value they provide to a home as a result of their work.
Do your due diligence: Door-to-door contractors are not necessarily scam artists but doing business with one out of sheer convenience is risky. • Research all prospective contractors. Ask your insurance company for a recommendation. Review the business on the Better Business Bureau website at www.bbb.org. Things to look for include the length of time the company has been in business and the number of complaints the business has received. How the business handles such complaints is often revealing. • Check with the building department in your city or county to see if the contractor is licensed.
Peak Properties group collecting gently-worn shoes Help Soles4Souls fight global poverty
One person’s unwanted shoes can help provide meaningful opportunities that many in developing nations need. Alex Tooke & Derek Weber along with the entire Peak Properties Group have launched a shoe drive to collect 5,000 pairs of new or gently-worn shoes for Soles4Souls, a nonprofit social enterprise that creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. Between April 1 and Dec. 31, bring new or gently-worn shoes of any kind to 2851 S. Parker Rd. Suite 100, Aurora. For more information, contact 720-515-7713 opt 0 or hello@soldbypeak.com The donated shoes will be distributed to Soles4Souls’ micro-enterprise programs that create jobs in Haiti, Honduras and other developing nations. The micro-enterprise model provides individuals the ability to start small businesses by providing a steady supply of high-quality, low-cost product. They also give a second life to unwanted shoes, keeping them out of landfills and protecting the environment. “At Peak Properties it is our mission to support our local and global communities; however, we can,” said Alex Tooke, co-founder and employing broker at Peak Properties. “Our partnership with Soles4Souls is a unique way to help our global communities here at home while working with our clients and friends to collect unwanted shoes while they are moving or cleaning out their homes. Such a simple act can have such a huge impact.” The World Bank estimates that approximately 767 million people live on less than $1.90 per day. Many people living in extreme poverty do not have access to stable employment. The income generated by selling just one pair of shoes in Haiti can provide up to five meals for a family in need, whereas 30 pairs sold by an entrepreneur in Honduras can provide up to a year of schooling for a child.
Revenue generated by Soles4Souls’ micro-enterprise operations funds the organization’s free distribution programs. These distributions provide relief in many developing nations around
the globe in times of disaster and help bridge the economic gap in the United States and Canada. To host a shoe drive or find out more information, go to www.GiveShoes.org/Get-Involved.
• Get at least three bids. Many companies will not request any payment before work is completed. A roofing contractor is prohibited by law from waiving your obligation to pay your insurance deductible. • Understand the contract before signing. The contract should have a start and end date, and a clause that indicates how disputes will be handled. Understand your obligation if the insurance company does not pay for something. Once the work commences, get all change orders in writing. • Get a signed lien waiver from the contractor when you make your payment to
insure that all subcontractors and suppliers have been paid to avoid a lien being slapped on your home (see Mechanics Lien Law, above) • Understand your rights under the Residential Roofing Services statute. A roofing contractor must disclose their surety and liability coverage insurer and provide the homeowner with written notification that the roofing contractor shall hold any payment from the residential property owner in trust until the roofing contractor has delivered roofing materials or has performed a ma ority of the roofing work on the residential property.

public workshops regarding the implementation of Denver Metroplex. This is a new system of ight paths concentrating ights into D A over neighborhoods along the Front Range that have never been sub ected to significant aviation noise or pollution in the past. n Southern California where Metroplex was instituted a year ago, complaints from established communities including Santa onica and Laguna Beach have recorded unbearable noise and severe air pollution. n addition, official records in Santa onica show that commercial planes into LA are fre uently ying substantially below the designated Metroplex minimum with the FAA taking the position that it cannot control errant ights. The workshop dates will be over a period of three weeks between April 29 and May.
COPD, and lung cancer attributable to the increased emissions of the aviation sector. That is an increase in the number of deaths, not an increase in the number of people diagnosed with these health issues. Studies regarding the health impact of noise appear to have been commissioned by the FAA but have not been completed. Other non FAA initiated studies show that aviation noise causes and contributes to cardiac disease and depression and significantly lowers the test scores of children living in homes or going to school impacted by aviation noise. The FAA has consistently minimized the impact of aviation noise on communities by characterizing it as an “annoyance.” Metroplex generated aviation noise is not an “annoyance it has significant adverse impact on communities including the health and welfare of residents. Why is the FAA proceeding to implement Metroplex in our region notwithstanding wide spread litigation and Congressional action requiring the FAA to conduct studies into adverse health impacts associated with aviation noise and pollution? Perhaps the FAA will clarify their decision at the public workshops. Until the results of these studies are known it is common sense, in the interest of public safety, to continue ights into D A along the existing dispersed ight paths, at existing altitudes. t makes no sense to concentrate both noise and pollution over established single and multi-family residences, parks, hospitals and schools that have never in the past experienced significant ight noise or pollution. D A was placed far to the east of Denver so that the adverse impact of noise and pollution would not impact existing communities along the Front
ies in the face of the purpose of either the Environmental Assessment or the Categorical Exclusion. What now? Please attend one of the public workshops. For residents of Arapahoe County, we are requesting that folks attend the May 2 public workshop in order to garner information from the FAA so that the public will be better informed for purposes of the next three meetings in Arapahoe County. Concerned residents should try to attend at least one of the public workshops in order to register their questions and objections, as applicable. As many of you know Centennial Airport is strongly opposed to Denver Metroplex. Based upon the data they have reviewed to date it will adversely impact the safety of general aviation aircraft and increase the noise and pollution of general aviation on our communities. They have substantial amounts of information on Denver Metroplex on their website. Please alert friends and neighbors. Unlike other communities, the Denver region is not going to be caught off guard. Perhaps the FAA will make health and safety of our communities a priority over fuel savings. Alternatively, as one commercial aviation lobbyist said, some communities will simply become “collateral damage.” None of our long established communities in the Denver metropolitan area should become noise and pollution ghettos to satisfy the FAA and the commercial aviation industries’ desire to reduce fuel costs or ight delays. Please join me and others in looking for common sense solutions that protect the health, safety and welfare of our communities.

GV transportation plan Continued from Page 1
The intersection of Orchard Road and Quebec Street is also the location for the No. 3 ranked proposed project on the roadway infrastructure list—a recommendation for a dedicated southbound right-turn lane. City council member Dave Kerber remarked early in the discussion, “I think there are a number of projects in here that are really good ideas that we need to focus on… Now is the time to quit studying and start doing some things.” A short time later, when Hanak talked about the fourth-ranked roadway project on the list, looking at ways “to increase capacity for the southbound left-turn lane” at the intersection of South Yosemite Street and East Orchard Road, Kerber expressed a general concern that making traffic ow better might invite additional use of this route, thereby increasing traffic. He said, Traffic engineers, they want traffic to run efficiently and fast. That’s not necessarily in the best interest of our citizens. What you’re doing is you’re opening up this great big lane and traffic is like water. t ows in whatever area is the easiest to ow. In a similar vein, Jerry Presley, district one council member, brought up a topic familiar to many, GV’s policy to not widen Orchard Road west of Quebec Street or east of Yosemite Street formalized by city council resolutions back in 2011, when he and Kerber were serving their first eight years on city council before being term-limited, then returning in 0 . He said, Traffic engineers will say that we need Orchard Road to be four lanes in order to maximize the amount of traffic. There is no evidence on the record of anyone inside or outside GV city government ever saying Orchard Road or any road in GV should be widened in order to maximi e the amount of traffic. Only Dave Bullock, the other district one council member, pushed back on the idea that improving traffic ow might be bad for residents because it would invite cut-through traffic. Bullock
said, “Who uses Orchard Road the most? Given the fact that it’s right in the middle of our community, it would seem logically, and you would have to do a study on this that our residents use Orchard Road more than people that are cutting through … One thing that I hear from people that are going in is that if Orchard and I-25 could be more efficient, think it would benefit the residents more than it would those cutting through.” As the discussion wound down, CWG member Alecia Brown said, “This is just the beginning of a conversation about investment in transportation for the future of GV and what that looks like. I took the higher amount of the estimated costs (associated with the 25 proposed roadways projects on the list). If you did all of these, it’s about $9.6 million and almost half of that, $4.5 million, is just on adding and extending lanes… things that would right away make an impact.” Kerber’s closing remarks were, “What to do now? The problem I see with a very aggressive, very comprehensive plan…We don’t have the money, the time or the staff. My concern is focus…I suggest we can do it as a council or we could create a subcommittee for the purpose of developing … maybe three or five of these initiatives—to put on the CIP (Capital Improvement Program) or get things going that don’t cost money…” One of his concerns was that Hanak is currently overseeing the $9.1 million design and construction of the new GV maintenance facility on Costilla Avenue. This project began in June 2017 when the former GV city council voted to retain Fehr and Peers for $247,000 to update its transportation master plan 13 days after the 2017 GV special election in which citizen concerns about traffic played a significant role. After the November 2017 election, the current city council appointed the community working group (CWG) of citizens and business representatives to assist with the effort. The consultants completed their work in 2018. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Gardner Reintroduces Legislation to Determine if Russia is State Sponsor of Terror
Gardner recently reintroduced a bill he authored to require a determination on designation of the Russian Federation as a state sponsor of terrorism. The legislation requires the State Department to determine within 90 days and report to Congress whether the Russian Federation should be designated as a state sponsor of terror under United States law. This designation is made by the Secretary of State for countries that “have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism” and currently includes North Korea, Iran, Syria and Sudan. The State Department designated North Korea as a state sponsor of terror Nov. 20, 2017, following a similar requirement that was included as part of the Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanction Act, enacted into law Aug. 2, 2017.

Business leaders explain trends in health care costs BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
The Business Leaders for Responsible Government arm of the South Metro Denver Chamber met at the headquarters of AAA Colorado, Inc. Greenwood Village April 17 to hear from a uniquely ualified panel of experts in health care costs. Steve Roper, president of Roper Insurance and Finance, explained that health insurance is simply risk pooled sharing and that premiums are set on a national basis. Employers offer health insurance as a benefit because it: 1) is deductible to the employer and not taxable to the employee; 2) improves employee recruitment and retention; 3) helps keep employees healthy; and 4) is the right thing to do and employees expect it. A big problem is that employees pay little attention to what they are charged by service providers. They are only interested in their deductible and copay amounts. Miranda Ross, Kaiser Permanente’s actuarial director, told the audience that small group (two to 100 employees) rates are largely determined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). She said that Kaiser’s small group rates have been very stable, going up only 3.5 percent in 2019 when the statewide average was 7.3 percent. Ross said deductibles on less
expensive plans have gone up because of ACA coverage requirements. Kaiser, acknowledged to be a leader in cost-saving policies, is achieving new savings by: ) making sure patients get the right care in the right place: e.g., urgent care versus emergency room, full service hospital versus freestanding surgical center; 2) using telehealth: over half the patients who used this service did not have to visit their doctor in person; 3) using a Kaiser Permanente in-house pharmacy. Kim Bimestefer, executive director of the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, put the cost of health care in dire perspective, sharing that it consumed 32 percent of median household income. From the governmental side, Bimestefer pointed out that Medicaid comprises 33 percent of the total Colorado state budget because 1.3 million Coloradans qualify for Medicaid. Before the ACA, the maximum income level to qualify was $11,000 per person. After the ACA that number went up to $16,000 per person. As a result, the uninsured rate in Colorado dropped from a pre-ACA rate of 13.8 percent to a post-ACA rate of 6.5 percent. In Colorado, 39 percent of health care dollars go to hospitals, 26 percent go to doctors and clinics, and 11 percent go to prescription drugs.

When a U.S. Senator is diagnosed with cancer
In the medical world, little news is worse than the Cfamily or a close friend, a cancer diagnosis turns your world upside down. Lots of uncertainties create fear and anxiety, from treatment options to outright survival. It’s no different for the powerful, the connected, such as a U.S. Senator. Recently our Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet announced that he has prostate cancer and had surgery in April. He is tentatively planning on adding his name to the growing list of potential Democrat nominees to challenge President Trump in 0 0 but is deferring a final decision based on how his cancer surgery went and whether he is cancer-free after treatment. Many of his colleagues running for president support Bernie Sanders’ Medicare-for-All plan, a single payer government run system. Bennet suggests an alternative, Medicare-X, which allows those with few “Obamacare” options to buy into Medicare by choice, not by mandate, a reasonable proposal which I have written about previously. Fortunately, the Senator has excellent insurance through Congress, an option not available to the general public. He will have the choice of receiving cancer care at many excellent medical centers, whether he stays in Colorado or chooses one of the renowned cancer centers elsewhere in the country. How would the Senator, or anyone else for that
matter, fare under a Medicare-for-All plan that most Democrat presidential candidates want to implement? Look across the pond at the United Kingdom which has its own single-payer government-run medical system. A Forbes article recently examined their system, and the prospects for a cancer patient are not all that promising. Start with the wait lists, quite normal with government-run health care. A quarter of a million BY BRIAN C. JOONDEPH
British patients have been waiting more than six months for planned medical treatment under the U.K.’s National Health Service, with more than 36,000 waiting longer than nine months. Some medical conditions can wait while others like cancer cannot. In the U.K., 25 percent of cancer patients don’t start their treatment on time, the worst performance since they began tracking this data 10 years ago. “On time” doesn’t mean tomorrow, instead it means within 62 days after referral. I’m sure Bennet would not want to wait until June to address his prostate cancer. After waiting for treatment,
what are the long-term results in the U.K. versus the U.S.? For prostate cancer, the five-year survival rate is 97 percent in America versus only 89 percent in the U.K. How many of those 8 percent would have survived with more timely diagnosis and treatment? Another downside of Medicare-for-All is the elimination of private insurance when it competes with the public plan. It would truly be a government-run system for everybody. Interestingly in the U.K., private insurance is available, as is a robust private health care sector outside of and as an alternative to the government-run scheme, at least for
those who choose and can afford private insurance. Not so under the plan proposed by Sanders and supported by many of the Democrat presidential wannabes. It’s likely that members of Congress would exempt themselves from any system they force their constituents to live under, as is the pattern with much of their legislation. It would be enlightening to hear Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker or any of the other Democrat candidates explain how their colleague Bennet would fare with his cancer diagnosis under the health care plan they propose to push on all Americans if they make it to the White House.

Honoring the EMS heroes who support our communities at the 22nd Annual AirLife Memorial
Dr. Maertins in front of helicopter.
Family-friendly event takes place May 11 at Hudson Gardens in Littleton As runners and walkers compete for winning times in the annual USATF-sanctioned AirLife Memorial 5K/10K Run-Walk May 11, one man will slow to a stop for a moment of re ection. His name is Dr. ark aertins and he has made this stop during each of the 21 prior AirLife Memorial 5K/10K RunWalks. aertins pauses at the memorial site to honor his friends, former AirLife Denver pilot Pete Alplanlap and
ight nurses Leslie Feldmann and Beth Barber, whose lives were tragically cut short when their helicopter struck electrical wires during a mission in . For the past 31 years, Maertins has served as medical director for AirLife Denver, a medical transport company which has completed over 62,000 missions in the Rocky ountain Region. During the years, he’s made many lifelong friendships among the crew he calls his second family and rejoiced over countless lives saved. But, always in the back of his mind is the crew

of that ight, which calls him to his true mission: educating ight crews and enhancing safety measures. Maertins is also a strong supporter of Friends of AirLife, the nonprofit beneficiary of the AirLife Memorial 5K/10K Run-Walk and EMS Celebration, which is committed to advancing EMS and air medical safety initiatives, providing free education and scholarships and offering charitable assistance to families of EMS professionals who have died in the line of duty. He has collaborated with the nonprofit to outfit ight crews with the most advanced equipment, including night vision goggles and life-saving medical devices, and develop conferences and classes to educate EMS personnel throughout the region. Re ecting on the importance of these safety initiatives, Maertins states,
“When you’re doing a medical transport, the crew must function as a team. Therefore, it’s important that each member have the best training and tools available so that they can assist each other. Originally founded as an event to honor fallen EMS heroes, the annual AirLife Memorial 5K/10K Run-Walk and EMS Celebration has grown into a daylong celebration that brings together emergency responders and community members. n addition to the 5K and 10K run and walk, there is a free kids fun run, a muster of emergency response vehicles including fire trucks, ambulances and police cars, a helicopter demonstration, a kids fun zone with bouncy houses, giant slides and games and a 16-team volleyball tournament. aertins en oys the family feel of the event saying, “AirLife Denver and
the E S, fire and ambulance departments we work with are one big family. t’s nice to expand that family during this annual event. The 22nd annual AirLife Memorial 5K/10K Run-Walk and EMS Celebration kicks off at a.m. Saturday, ay at Littleton’s Hudson Gardens, followed by the Kids Fun Run at : 0 a.m. and the start of the volleyball tournament at 0: 0 a.m. The interactive emergency response vehicle display, kids fun zone and expo will be open to the public all day. Online registration, which includes an AirLife Memorial T-shirt ($35 for adult runners/walkers and $20 for youth 17 and younger) is open now at www.friendsof airlife.org. All proceeds benefit Friends of AirLife and the EMS personnel who support communities throughout the Rocky ountain Region.

County building code updated to increase number of children allowed in home daycares in home day care
Changes to the Arapahoe County Residential Building Code were adopted by the Board of County Commissioners recently to better align with state standards and improve access to in-home child care providers. The newly adopted code allows providers to accept up to 12 children, which is currently the limit permitted by state licensure. Previously, county rules only allowed in-home providers five or less children before fire suppression mod-
ifications to the home were required. “There’s such a great need in our community for quality daycare options,” said Commissioner Jeff Baker, chair of the board. “This change in our building code will allow for more families to take advantage of affordable and safe child care and ensure the success of small businesses.” Under the new regulations, in-home child care providers must have specific means of egress, including two exits,
fenced yards, specific locks and latches for exits. Providers are required to maintain third-party monitoring of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a technology advancement that alerts emergency services so day care staff can focus on life-safety in the event of an emergency. “Staff collaborated with multiple agencies and providers to find safe solutions for the gap that existed between state and county regulations,” said Bryan Weimer, director

What is the secret? This week’s class was the second installment of a four-part pilot series called, Refocusing Your Relationships. It was one of the best days ever. My colleague and I were presenting at a retirement living facility. There were 25 residents who were excited to be with us again and share what they were learning. We started the first class with an icebreaker, introductions and the participants outlining their expectations for the seminar. They wanted to: “Go deeper
in relationships without being nosey.” “Become a better person.” “Be more intuitive with their neighbors.” “Enjoy their relationships more.” “Get beyond, ‘How are you?.’” “Be a lifelong learner.” We then outlined different personality prototypes and had them explore their personality style. There was laughter, affirmations, good natured teasing, and leaning into this new discovery about themselves and others. The discussion about the application of how learning one’s personality

effects how we understand ourselves and others was rich and robust. This week’s lesson was about exploring one’s passion and purpose. What lights you up? What do you get lost in? What gives you energy? There were 20 similar questions. The group was excited to talk about each one of them. My colleague and I agreed that this group was lit up, devoted to this topic, so much so, we could not move on to the next activity. We were giddy with the high level of participation and engagement! Why would the Center for Relationship Education be asked to do this kind of workshop with those living in a retirement residential center? The conventional wisdom of staying young is plenty of exercise, healthy food, positive attitude or the luck of one’s genetic code. There is a lot of analysis about what the secret is to aging well. Louis Cozolino, professor of psychology at Pepperdine University, had another theory. In his book Timeless: Nature’s Formula for Health and Longevity, he emphasizes the positive impact of human relationships. “Of all the experiences we need to survive and thrive, it is the experience of relating to others that is the most meaningful and important,” he writes. His thinking grows out of the relatively new field of interpersonal neurobiology, based on the recognition that humans are best understood not in isolation, but in the context of their connections with others. Our brains, are social organs, meaning that we are wired to connect with each other and to interact in groups. A life that maximizes social interaction and human-to-human contact is good for the brain at every stage, particularly for the aging brain. Due to many studies on aging, we now know that people who have more social support tend to have better mental health, cardiovascular health, immunological functioning and cognitive performance. Relationship education is essential for children and adults. We have two more sessions with this high energy group of seniors. They are asking to extend the classes. How delightful it is for us, as relationship educators, to be with a group of people who are so excited to learn.

If you’re primarily interested in a leisurely ride around the neighborhood for pleasure, fitness or running errands, upright trikes are a good choice. These are traditional upright-positioned tricycles that come with rear cargo baskets and limited gear options, usually ranging from one to three-speeds. A great choice in this category is the Sun Traditional Trike (see Sun.bike/trikes) that cost between $440 and $550. Or, for a less expensive option consider the Schwinn Meridian Adult Tricycle sold at Walmart, Target or Amazon.com for around $300.

It is not surprising to find that seniors almost unanimously name meals when asked what is the single most important aspect of their daily life. Most people understand that as we age, the way in which we experience our world through our senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell changes as those senses deteriorate over time. Learn how our decreased ability to enjoy food could be related to a disease state or the medications RACHEL PEARCE we may be taking.

Achieve the essence of inner and outer beauty Learn how to sleep like a child again Adults can learn strategies to get more restorative and lengthy sleep. Many adults lament that even if they were solid sleepers in their younger years, by the age of 50, their quality of sleep has unraveled. Some cling to the wisdom that people simply do not need as much sleep as they get older. Even though that is partly true, sufficient sleep is still a vital component of a healthy life. The National Sleep Foundation recently updated its sleep recommendations per age group to include categories “may be appropriate” and “not recommended.” This includes a range of hours that may be adequate for certain adults. Adults between the ages of 26 and 65 are advised to get seven to nine hours of sleep per evening. However,
six hours or 10 hours also may be acceptable. People over the age of 65 need roughly seven to eight hours of sleep each night, though between five and six hours also may be fine. Generally speaking, anything under five hours is not recommended based on data reviewed by sleep experts. Many older adults do not get enough sleep due to insomnia, states Jack Gardner, .D., a neurologist certified in sleep medicine. They’re concerned about health issues,

A little Chia Seeds a day goes a long way! Chia seeds are among the healthiest foods on the planet. They’re loaded with nutrients that can have important benefits for your body and brain. Despite their ancient history as a dietary staple, chia seeds became recognized as a modern-day superfood only recently. In the past few years, they have exploded in popularity and are now consumed by health conscious people all over the world. I personally use Chia Seeds in my smoothie’s, yogurt, buckwheat, or oatmeal. I do get about a tablespoon of them in me each day added to one of those items! Another time I will discuss the differences in chia seeds verses flax seeds. I am partial to chia seeds, mainly because flax has phytoestrogens and I’m not a fan of estrogen-enriched foods.
Top 9 Chia Seeds Benefits
1. Support Healthy Skin - Chia seeds are jam-packed with antioxidants, accounting for the powerful benefits of chia seeds for skin health. 2. Promote Digestive Health - Because of their rich fiber content, chia seeds benefit digestive health by promoting regularity and increasing stool frequency to prevent constipation. The fiber also acts as a prebiotic to provide fuel for the beneficial bacteria in the gut, which plays a central role in many aspects of health and disease. 3. Improve Heart Health - one of the most powerful chia seeds health benefits is their ability to reduce inflammation and decrease several risk factors of heart disease. 4. Balance Blood Sugar - Rich
in both alpha-linolenic acid and fiber, evidence from several studies suggests that chia seeds can help maintain normal blood sugar levels to fight diabetes and insulin resistance. 5. Boost Energy and Exercise Performance - Chia seeds are often used by athletes for carb loading, a strategy that helps maximize the storage of glycogen in the muscles and liver to optimize endurance and boost exercise performance. 6. Build Stronger Bones - One of the biggest chia seed health benefits is the ability to strengthen bone health and preserve bone density while reducing the risk of serious conditions like osteoporosis. This is because chia seeds are loaded with calcium and manganese, two minerals that are incredibly important for maintaining bone health. 7. Aid in Weight Loss - Research shows that following a high-protein diet rich in foods like chia seeds could reduce levels of ghrelin, the hormone responsible for stimulating hunger. 8. Fight Cancer Growth - Chia seeds are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid. ALA helped limit the growth of both breast and cervical cancer cells. 9. Enhance Oral Health - Calcium is the building block of your teeth that is necessary for maintaining oral health. Meanwhile, zinc prevents tartar by keeping plaque from mineralizing onto your teeth and has an antibacterial effect that keeps bad breath germs away. Vitamin A and phosphorus are also important for strong teeth and a healthy mouth, both of which are plentiful in chia seeds.

may have sleep apnea, can experience pain or frequent urination, or may be taking medication that impedes sleep. Dr. Leila heirandish-Go al, director of clinical sleep research at the University of Chicago, says that, over time, insufficient sleep can impact metabolism, mood, memory and heart function. Various strategies can help people get more sleep and enjoy better sleep quality. • Create a luxury bed environment. Splurge on the largest mattress you can afford and one that is comfortable for both parties (if married/coupled). A roomy bed routinely invites sleep. If you have a restless partner, try two separate beds pushed against each other. • Consider white noise. The sounds of the house or outdoors may be keeping you up. any people find that the gentle hum of a fan or a white-noise machine with a calming sound effect makes it easier for them to dose off than complete quiet. It can also block out extraneous noises. • Keep electronics out of the bedroom. It can be challenging to disconnect from electronics, but it is essential to falling asleep. Even a back-lit text coming through in the wee hours can be enough illumination to disrupt sleep. • See your doctor. If medications or illnesses are keeping you up, a change in regimen may provide the relief you need. Older adults can learn the steps to sleeping more soundly and easily.

Harvard Women’s Studies in Religion The Colorado Steering Committee of Harvard Women’s Studies in Religion Program (WSRP) that always brings inspirational, thought-provoking and fascinating speakers to its coffee meetings, consists of 26 members. Those on hand at Denver Country Club when Harvard Ministry Innovation Fellows Casper ter Kuile and Angie Thurston presented their How We Gather research, included Arlene Hirschfeld, Susan Noble and Dr. Marie Whiteside. In 2015, what began as a student-led exploration of how millennials (largest segment of our population) are finding and building a community of meaning and belonging morphed into a groundbreaking study of organizations that are effectively transforming the functions that historically were performed by traditional religious institutions. How We Gather has been called “the most important non-theological text being read in seminaries today” by one seminary president and has been praised by Bishops and the former CEO of Twitter. They map and convene the millennial leaders of spiritual communities at the forefront of religious change – from Crossfit to dinner churches, from Muslim small groups to make spaces, their work illustrates the rapidly changing generational patterns in American Life today. Their work has been featured in The New York Times, Atlantic Magazine and the Boston Globe. For in-depth information: www.howwegather.org.

Jaime Gardner hosted by Douglas County Republican Women Life as the wife of a U.S. Senator Jaime Gardner spoke to Douglas County Republican Women who met for the organization’s monthly luncheon at Lone Tree Golf Club and Hotel on the day that the majority of Denver area schools were closed due to a threat by an out-of-stater fascinated by the Columbine High School mass shooting that took place 20 years ago. Jaime commented on the events of the morning giving thanks to law enforcement and suggesting we hug our kids a little more that day. She also mentioned the heartwarming feeling of seeing many dads outside with their children. “It reminds me that we take care of each other,” she said and that borrowing from Hillary Clinton’s book: “It takes a village!” The mother of three is a graduate of the University of Colorado, has her own business and says that both she and Cory have an opportunity to live their own dreams. “It’s not for everyone,” she said. “We are partners in life and as parents. He’s never a Facetime or call away. Family goals have remained the same, we’ve just had to modify the family schedule over the last eight years.” They still live in the small town Yuma that they love and a home that has 100 years of
history and belonged to Cory’s grandparents with both sets of parents close by for help. “Our kids see the world with a home base to be safe and freedom to be kids. They do keep it real for us and they do have to behave in public Keynote speaker Jaime Gardner and Polly Lawrence, Jaime Gardner, Lily Nunez and Karen Hurst even with bribes.” Douglas County Republican Women displaying her pink “Women for Trump” cap President Barbara Piper They have traveled to all 64 counties of Colorado and Douglas County Undersheriff Holy Nicholson-Kleuth, City of Lone Tree Cory has had a record 47 meetings Council members Wynne Shaw and Susan Squyer and former Colorado in one day in Washington, D.C.
