GV Mayor Emeritus Rakowsky receives prestigious award from DRCOG

O

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

n April 28, the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) officially presented Greenwood Village Mayor Emeritus Ron Rakowsky with the John V. Christensen Memorial Award in a virtual event. According to DRCOG, it is “considered one of the region’s highest honors” and “recognizes advocates of collaboration and cooperation.”

Due to the health pandemic, the award was presented to Mayor Rakowsky in person at Greenwood Village City Hall on April 8 in a socially distanced very small ceremony with only members of the DRCOG executive board included. The Villager was also there by invitation.

In presenting the award to Mayor Rakowsky, Mayor Ashley Stolzmann of Louisville, board chair of DRCOG, said that the John V. Christenson Award was given to someone who has demonstrated “a commitment to regionalism,” and “accomplished a great deal to make life better for people.” She noted that this award was originally planned to be presented in April 2020 at Mile High Stadium because, “we all knew that if we were going to celebrate Mayor Rakowsky, we would need an entire stadium because…there’s almost not a person in the DRCOG region that doesn’t know this man and hasn’t been touched in a positive way by Ron’s tireless efforts

over time.” She continued, looking directly at the honoree, “Ron is really very special to all of us. We couldn’t pass on this opportunity to present the award in person and not just mail it to you. It’s too important to all of

us to be able to recognize all the work of Mayor Rakowsky.”

Turning back to the small group, Stolzmann went on, “Ron has always been passionate and active in civic affairs…At DRCOG, we often talk about donning our

regional caps when we meet at the board table…We have found that by working together on tough regional issues, we are able to accomplish a great deal and make life better for everyone who calls this place home. This

award honors someone who truly embodies that collaborative approach, a true champion of regionalism, and very deserving of DRCOG’s highest honor.”

Chapman. Rakowsky also paid specific tribute to the public works staff who taught him “about all the intricacies of traffic,” Public Works Director Jeremy Hanak, Derek Slack, formerly with GV and current roadway maintenance manager at E-470 Public Highway Authority, and Deputy City Manager John Sheldon. He also singled out for thanks for all their support along the way, former DRCOG Executive Director Jennifer Schaufele, former Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon, the 2019 recipient of the John V. Christenson award, and his life partner of more than half a decade, Margaret Rakowsky, whose muted demeanor belies her vast knowledge and strength.

In closing, Mayor Rakowsky said, “The greatest thing about DRCOG is the people

you meet.” He noted that, having lived or had family connections in New England, Florida, Texas, California, and the northwest,” By far, the greatest place to live is here in the Rocky Mountain west.

I am honored to receive this award.”

In its description of why he was chosen, DRCOG’s official statement said, “Great communities don’t just happen. They’re built by great people dedicated to improving their communities and working toward common regional goals.” Rakowsky is described as having “dedicated his life to public service, including time with the Air Reserve Personnel Center and the Pentagon.” He also worked as “an attorney, a lobbyist for Colorado’s credit unions, and a trade association executive.

He served the City of Greenwood Village as a city council member, mayor pro tem, and then as mayor from 2011 to 2019. As mayor, he “attended nearly every community event, public meeting, and neighborhood get-together possible.” He was also “heavily involved in state and local boards such as DRCOG, Denver South, E-470, Metro Mayors Caucus, and the Arapahoe County Justice Coordinating Committee.” He also “built strong partnerships among neighboring cities and organizations, fostering regional cooperation, and working closely with public agencies like Arapahoe County, the City of Centennial, and the Colorado Department of Transportation.” Rakowsky is well known as having been key to the redevelopment of I-25 and Arapahoe Road.

DRCOG summarized with, “This award was given to acknowledge Ron Rakowsky’s having “touched the lives of Coloradans through service, kindness, and genuine investment in the health of the community, as well as his “encouraging the next generation to participate in public service” by having “mentored many incoming mayors and leaders throughout the region.” For those reasons, he is “an individual whose tireless work has made his community and our region a great place to live, work, and play.” fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

Aurora honors six outstanding local businesses at annual ceremony The city of Aurora recently honored six outstanding local businesses at its 16th annual Aurora Business Recognition Award ceremony, hosted by the city’s Business Advisory Board. The 2020 awards–delayed due to the ongoing pandemic–aired in a virtual format April 29 on AuroraTV and Facebook.

The prerecorded ceremony is available to watch at AuroraTV.org, and more on the program is available at Aurora Gov.org/BusinessAwards.

The event specifically focused on businesses that have demonstrated innovation and creativity, great community impact and tremendous resiliency during COVID-19. The Chuck Hahn Small Business Advocate of the Year winner—an Aurora-South Metro Small Business Development Center award—also was recognized.

This year’s winners are:

Small, Small Business Award: Envision Eye Care is a family-owned optometry practice founded in 2015 focuses on serving immigrant residents originating from countries spanning the globe. They are committed to the community, offering high-quality products and cutting-edge services at competitive prices. They also provide free eye

exams and eyeglasses to nonprofit organizations.

Community Impact Award: Legends of Aurora, celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2020, is known for its excellent bar, friendly atmosphere and hospitality, and community involvement. Giving back is this central Aurora sports grill’s philosophy, and this father-and-son operation regularly donates food and funds to help out schools and nonprofits in Aurora.

Resiliency Award: Winchell’s Donut House, family-owned since 1993, had to think differently about how it could continue to serve customers during the pandemic. Their pivot strategies were successful, and they are stronger than ever. Through it all, they retained their staff of nine and their store remains a destination for neighborhood families.

Innovation & Creativity Award: The Wine Experience Café and Wine Cellar quickly pivoted in the wake of public health restrictions from hosting lively dinner parties and packed special event nights to wine dinners to go, upscale takeout and socially distant outdoor patio dining concerts.

Essential Heroes Honorable Mention Award: Create Cooking School continued to capture the heart of the community through cooking, investing in technology and training to move their passion to the online world and launching virtual classes with curbside ingredient pickup.

Essential Heroes Honorable Mention Award: Village Exchange Center helped deploy millions in relief funds and rental assistant to newly arrived residents, and distributed over 450,000 pounds of food, 35,000 pounds of prepared meals and nearly 19,000 hygiene packages to 6,740 people most impacted by the pandemic’s economic downturn.

Aurora-South Metro Small Business Development Center’s Chuck Hahn Small Business Advocate of the Year Award: Awarded to Stephanie Mufic, the Business Services and Economic Engagement Supervisor at Arapahoe/Douglas Works!, who was closely involved with the Business Recovery Task Forces for Arapahoe and Douglas counties to support the business community through the pandemic.

Let kids live, learn, and play where they want

In 2013, a young man named Nathan Starks moved from Las Vegas to Colorado. A highly touted football player, he transferred from a private school in Nevada to Cherry Creek High School, where he planned to continue playing and hopefully draw attention from college programs.

However, the Colorado High School Athletic Association (CHSAA) forced him to sit out half the football season, declaring he lost eligibility because his move was athletically motivated.

Starks’ situation was not uncommon for high school and college athletes. Athletic associations have long prohibited student athletes from easily transferring from one school to another without penalty. Losing a year of eligibility is meant to deter athletes from moving around. In Starks’ case, however, it seems like a rather huge decision for a family to move to a different state just for sports. It also seems to be somewhat out of the jurisdiction of CHSAA to pass judgment.

In fact, an arbitrator agreed with the Starks family on appeal, shortening the penalty from a full season to six games.

Regardless of the reason for the family’s move from state to state and school to school, my question is this: Who cares? Why should CHSAA have the right to tell a family where they can live, go to school, and play sports? If a family moves from one high school to another for better academics or a choir or the debate team or band or math curriculum or any other reason, the state has no concerns. But if parents make a choice motivated by athletic opportunities, CHSAA penalizes the kids. And that is not right.

Supporters of CHSAA’s vicelike control of a child’s school attendance and sports eligibility argue athletes will only choose big schools with winning programs, and that hurts competition while exploiting students.

That concern seems excessive and unrealistic. The top five quarterbacks in the state will obviously want to attend five different schools because they don’t want competition for playing time. The same holds for the top point guards, 100-meter freestyle swimmers, soccer goalies, and on down the line. Clearly, in baseball the top five pitchers would never attend the same …., okay, wait a minute. That one might be valid. But you get my point.

For as long as there have been high school sports, there have been dominant programs and athletic powerhouses. Arbitrary restrictions on a family’s choice have not prevented the same five or ten teams from dominating numerous sports.

And even if eligibility rules established a truly level playing

field of equally competitive teams, it could still be argued the policy is an unconstitutional limit on freedom of movement and residence. At the very least, CHSAA’s policy seems to

counter the state’s policy of open enrollment.

Granted, student athletes don’t lose eligibility if authorities determine the family made a “bona fide” move or if the student qualifies for a hardship

waiver. That determination should not, however, be CHSAA’s decision. The nature of the move is a parenting issue and should be a private matter.

Additionally, bona fide move exemptions may disproportionately favor more privileged families. Before CHSAA is allowed to continue its prohibitive practices, they should publicize the racial and socioeconomic metrics for families seeking and receiving approval of bona fide moves.

In addition to hardship waivers, how about access waivers? A student may choose to move because he has a greater chance of playing.

What is wrong with that? Has CHSAA ever considered that lack of playing time could be a

hardship? What if a kid might not start, play, or even make the team at one school, so he transfers to another where he has a chance. Not being able to play and be seen could be a hardship for a kid if it costs him a fair chance at a scholarship. Or perhaps it might just cost him the joy of sport.

On April 28, 2021, the NCAA Board of Directors ratified a new one-time transfer rule which cleared the way for immediate eligibility in all sanctioned sports following a change of school. Now, all student athletes receive a one-time transfer opportunity with no penalty or loss of eligibility. At the very least, CHSAA should offer the same courtesy to Colorado high school athletes.

The Villager

News may be where you find it Beware the “Ides of March” comes from ancient Roman history and timelier, “April showers bring May flowers.”

The spring rains have given new life to our lawns, shrubs, trees and Eastern slope’s wheat and corn crops. Starting this week, we have snow and freezing temperatures. While Colorado weather is unique, so is the news.

It has been a dynamic week in the world of local newspapers. The Littleton Independent was sold to The Colorado Sun group along with all 24 of The Colorado Media publications. The Colorado Sun is a digital on-line newspaper comprised primarily of the former employees of the Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. As a result The Villager is one of the few remaining local, family-owned and printed newspapers left in Colorado whose primary focus is promoting community news,

non-profits, schools, local businesses, readers viewpoints and local government. It’s been The Villager leadership’s focus to acknowledge, address and apologize, in person, for the insensitivity of our April Fool’s parody. We hope for new growth this spring and summer as we nurture a greater understanding, appreciation and communication with our community. We have reached out to the Asian/Pacific Islanders community. We’re back on track with the Cherry Creek school administration, moving forward with our long-lasting support of public education.

We also met with and listened to members of the Yip Foundation board and their executive director with favorable results.

We honor diversity at all levels and have learned much about intent and impact.

I witnessed the Greenwood Village council pass a reso-

lution Monday night, in a 6-2 vote, to name The Littleton Independent as their legal newspaper without giving any reason. Councilmembers Dave Bullock and Dave Kerber voted in The Villager’s favor against Council member Jerry Presley’s resolution which was supported without comment by council members’ Libby Barnacle, Tom Dougherty, Judith Hilton, Donna Johnson, and Anne Ingebretsen.

This is a legal slippery slope for the city. Colorado statute 31-12-105 makes it mandatory that ordinances be published in a legal newspaper within the city limits, if one exists.

However, since Greenwood Village is a “Home Rule City” they gave themselves an exception to this law in their city code. I have been in the local newspaper business for 58 years, nearly 40 with

The Villager, and to my knowledge, circumventing this state law has never been tested in court. What is there to hide from local citizens by publishing legal notices in another city with a newspaper that has never been tested in court action by someone who might challenge ordinances run in another city?

However, despite the withholding of the public notices, The Villager will keep residents aware of governmental proceedings and our astute governmental reporter Freda Miklin will continue her exceptional coverage of the city.

It was gratifying Monday night to hear Kerber and Bullock support The Villager.

They have both been active in Villager news coverage and supported the newspaper with their votes Monday night which was greatly appreciated.

I’ve been asked about the “Barb Wire Bob” column name. I’ll give you a brief explanation. As a youngster, growing up on a pioneer cattle ranch, I had a horse. My horse “Nancy” was my first steed at a very early age. She was a very gentle old mare that tolerated a very young rider.

One afternoon I ventured out to see Nancy in the pasture taking her some oats. She saw me coming and lowered her ears and chased me out of the pasture to my utmost surprise.

She died that night.

My father later purchased me a large black and white pinto pony that I adored. He was a gelding that could run like the wind. So, here’s where the BWB name comes in. The first week I grabbed some oats and ventured out into the horse pasture where there were a half dozen horses grazing. Paint was glad to see me. I grabbed his mane and climbed on his bare back without a saddle or bridal. Almost immediately the small band of horses became spooked and Paint took off running, I was hanging onto his mane for dear life.

The horses started running along a trail next to a barbwire fence.

I looked down and my bare leg was only inches from the sharp barbwire fence that could saw off my leg, and even worse, I could have tumbled off the horse onto the jagged fence. I hung on and the horses reached the end of the pasture and I slid off his back.

I don’t know how that ever became a column title, but it deals with riding out a challenge, facing adversity,

and surviving. I needed better foresight in climbing on a new horse without a bridal or saddle.

(BTW, I have many more horse stories coming up).

Anyway, it’s an unusual column title that has a connecting theme.

Now, the events of last week were a learning experience and somewhat remind me of the runaway horse tale.

Last Monday night was disappointing. For whatever reason, with no explanation, Councilmember Presley successfully moved a resolution moving Greenwood Village public notices to The Littleton Independent, the same day that the historic newspaper was sold as part of Colorado Media News to The Colorado Sun, a Denver based digital online newspaper group.

I have nothing but respect for Jerry and Ann Healey who sold their newspapers to the non-profit group that contains The Colorado Sun and involves “The National Trust for Local News.”

I have read and followed the Independent going back to Ed Bemis, Haus Waring, Garret Ray, and Vern Bangert.

Bob Tisch took a spin at the newspaper helm before taking bankruptcy. I attended the court auction of the newspaper several decades ago where it was sold to The Sentinel Newspapers. Years later it was sold to the Healeys who masterfully built a newspaper chain of local newspapers

across multiple counties. They had some historic newspapers, including the Douglas County News Press and The Golden Transcript, along with the Littleton Independent that were century old publications. It was publisher Ed Bemis who engineered the Colorado Press Association to start publishing delinquent tax lists in the 1930s, still used by counties to collect delinquent taxes. The Bemis Library is named in his honor.

Where this new sale leads will be interesting to say the least. *** In other activities The Villager leadership had a positive meeting with the outgoing and incoming Cherry Creek Schools superintendents. The leadership also met in a nearby park with impressive student leaders to listen and learn. Another productive meeting was with the Yip Foundation new board president, a new board member, and the executive director. I also attended a lunch with the incoming officers of the Monaco Optimist Club at Zane’s Italian bistro.

Thursday morning I had a coffee meeting with Arapahoe County Commissioners Nancy Sharpe and Carrie Warren-Gully to assure them and all county employees, that The Villager is sincerely sorry to have offended anyone in our April Fool’s parody.

Saturday afternoon I attended the 10th anniversary of John Elway Chevrolet and met general manager Jeff Silverberg and visited longtime friend A.J. Guanella, who once

owned the General Motors facility. A.J. still shows up for work every day with decades of auto history and customer service experience. A very fine gentleman.

It was a pleasure to see my colleague in auto journalism, and former Villager auto scribe Bud Wells and wife Gen, at the anniversary celebration who were visiting with A.J. One reason I still subscribe to The Denver Post is to read Bud’s Saturday car reviews; not to read the New York Times or Washington Post editorials.

Saturday night Gerri and I tuned into the Cancer League virtual Hope Ball and watched with envy some of the wonderful trips donated to the Cancer League for the live auction.

Scottie Iverson will have a report on the fundraising from the virtual ball event. Kudos to the Cancer League President Gary Reese and wife Barbara for their unending support of The Cancer League of Colorado. A huge thanks, also, to the Doug Moreland auto dealerships for donating a 2021 Jeep Gladiator Sport Willys for the raffle; they have made this generous gift for decades. We also loved to see the honor and love bestowed by the organization on Glory and the late Dave Weisberg; Dave being the first male president of the League. Glory made an uplifting video statement as the 2021 honoree.

As the week progressed I recalled hanging onto that horse’s mane for my very survival and finishing the ride.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Three thoughts on open carry article

Freda, excellent writing as always!

Regarding Arapahoe County Clerk Joan Lopez, there are three thoughts on this subject.

One: The second amendment to the constitution to bear arms shall not be infringed. This was set up by our founding fathers to protect us from threats foreign or domestic. Therefore, anyone can carry a weapon anyplace they like without a permit. If more people carry in the open, this would deter idiots from going in and doing mass shootings. This is due to the fact that they could protect themselves and the public.

Two: A person does need a permit if they conceal the weapon. A conceal-carry permit can be issued to anyone who pays for it and has the background check and training. Some people feel safe packing a weapon.

Three: There is really no reason for this person to just walk up and intimidate the person at the Government office. How many mass shooting have taken place in a Government office in the past? Government workers live under a cloud of fear and should be delt with kids gloves at all times. Most guns are locked up in a safe and only brought out for hunting or target practice on the weekends.

Frank Brock Centennial

alleged commission of a traffic offense, petty offense, municipal offense, misdemeanor offense, a class 4, 5, 6 felony, or a level 3 or 4 drug felony.

The fact is an arrest can be made if the officer is unable to sufficiently verify the individual’s identity absent an arrest, a person was convicted for a violation of driving under the influence in the last 5 years, the offense is a felony or a victims’ rights crime, the offense includes an element of illegal possession or use of a firearm, the offense constitutes unlawful sexual behavior, or the offense is a violation of a temporary or regular extreme risk protection order, a violation of a credible threat to a school, or a violation of eluding in a vehicle.

Mr. Bullock, in fact, incorrectly cites the reasons by which an officer can make an arrest as the reason an officer would not make an arrest. In other words, he has reversed the process by which one can be taken into custody.

It should also be noted the bill has only passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, the second step in an eight step process before it may become a law. It is currently sitting in the Senate Appro-

priations Committee and if it is passes out of that committee it has to go to the Senate Committee of the Whole for two more readings. If it passes either one or both, it then goes to the House side of the Legislature and the whole process starts again. And along the way, there are and will be many amendments to the original bill which may change it significantly, if it passes at all or dies along the way.

The purpose of the bill, as I understand it, is to protect those who are already serving sentences in jail from the COVID-19 virus, not that legislators or the Governor want to protect criminals from going to jail. Basically, any rise in crime can be attributed to a number of factors, not the least of which is the lack of arrests by the Greenwood Village police. The fact that the COVID-19 virus has contributed to joblessness, economic insecurity, opportunity to violate property, etc. can be contributory to any raise in crime in any community which could well include Greenwood Village.

Response from Dave Bullock

In response to the two letters opposing my recent newsletter sent to residents of District 1 in Greenwood Village; 1) Out of over 4,000 residents and 1,100 homes in the district, I received only five opposing letters. Over 85% of the feedback was positive. 2) Prior to sending the newsletter, it was approved for content and accuracy by the City Attorney, City Manager and Chief of Police. Therefore, those who claim it was inaccurate are suggesting that they know more than these three professionals and do so based on emotion driven by a political ideology and not the facts. 3) One letter said that people should wait until it goes through all the committees and is in final form before commenting. But they missed the entire point. Once a bill is completed, there is no time or ability to change so people’s voices need to be heard while it is going through the process. That is how a democracy works. Furthermore, the mere proposal of SB62 shows how radical our state legislature has become

where they are more interested in protecting criminals than honest, law abiding citizens. 4) Claims that the rise in crime is attributed to a laundry list of things other than elected officials calling to defund the police and limiting their ability to enforce the law are not true. A simple Google search will show that violent crime has increased more in cities and states where officials do not support the police vs. those jurisdictions where officials stand behind law enforcement. 5) One letter claims that my language was inflammatory and disrespectful while letters from other residents tell a different story. Here are a couple of excerpts from those emails: a) “I want to thank you for your enlightening and informative April District 1 Newsletter. It’s hard for me to grasp that Senate Bill 21-62 could even be proposed, let alone be passed into law,” and b) “We certainly agree with the comments in your April letter…We appreciate your clear message and courage as we all work to keep our communities safe.”

Dave Bullock City Councilmember Greenwood Village

CANCER LEAGUE OF COLORADO ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT

I object to using tax dollars to share your personal opinion

We write in response to a Greenwood Village Newsletter recently received from Councilman Dave Bullock. Instead of an informative newsletter, we were sent Councilman Bullock’s personal opinion of various bills pending in the state legislature.

We will not take issue here with the Councilman’s characterizations of Representative Froelich’s and Senator Bridge’s legislative positions as alleged

by Councilman Bullock; the Legislature is still in session, and no final action has been taken on these bills.

We believe these three public servants, each of whom we have supported with our votes, are motivated by their desire to help our community, and we are grateful for their service.

However, we do object to the use of Village funds to send this political attack by one public servant on two other public servants who represent this community. The Councilman’s language was inflammatory, disrespectful, and did little to advance civil discussion of these pending bills. We urge all to eliminate the vitriol.

In the future, we suggest that Citizen Dave Bullock share such expressions on his own stationery, at his own expense - not the Village’s.

Pivot Point of My Life!

What Are Drug Side Effects?

That was the pivot point in my youth -- discovering God gave us plants for medicine! (In fact, all pharmaceuticals originated from herbs and plants until scientists learned how to make “patentable” synthetic drugs.)

And this made worse by “Drug Side Effects.” Clinical Nutrition Analyses of clients Laboratory Reports revealed their reported “Drug Side Effects” were actually symptoms of toxicity and nutrient depletion from the chemicals in their drugs.

Now, with a fervent interest, I studied Herbs and any related “Health Care” subject, which led to three degrees (two doctorates), and becoming board certified, so I could coach others in living healthier and help them heal, maintain optimal health and prevent disease. And doing this with God’s original medicines that now includes 21st Century “Advanced Clinical Nutrition” research; hence my company’s name.

My Mission in Life!

Winston Churchill’s quote “Healthy Citizens are the Greatest Assets Any Country Can Have!” (1943) became my mission statement, made me wonder why America ranked so low in the Healthiest Countries List, and set me on a path to find the answer.

Original Purpose for Medicine The answer, I found, was that Americans were uneducated in

Taking a 2nd drug to suppress the “side effects” of the 1st drug, a 3rd drug to suppress the 2nd and so on, perpetuates an increasing cycle of deficiencies and toxicity that in time leads to the medical industry’s fundamental purpose: life-threatening emergencies.

A New Perspective OR Paradigm on “Health Care!”

“Health Care” should mean promoting Health, not managing Disease. A true “Health Care” System promotes principle-centered healthy lifestyles, unpolluted environments and disease prevention in all educational systems.

(Principle-centered means living according to the biological, biochemical and bioenergetic laws or principles that govern the healthy function of the body and its environment.)

Health Care also means non-drug Therapies. For example: Through a Clinical Nutrition Analysis of your biochemistry, asymptomatic and symptomatic causes of current biochemical processes “towards” disease are identified.

So rather than just medically detect the disease earlier, this gives you the opportunity to correct the causes and prevent the disease from even happening.

Also, those with diagnosed diseases have the potential to reverse their disease processes and restore health and/or, at least, significantly improve their current state of health and slow these processes down, if the latter started CN Therapy too late to fully restore their health.

In my 40’s, a Clinical Nutrition Analysis revealed I was in the process of developing Lupus; though asymptomatic.

Four months later, that disease process was gone.

I am writing you because I want to share over 47 years of study and clinical experience successfully helping my clients. I also want to be a trusted and reliable resource for you to accomplish your goal of living healthier and longer.

I write so you know there are healthier and safer options, than drugs and surgery, that actually get to the root causes of your health challenges, rather than just suppress your symptoms and manage your disease. In fact, you are not a fully informed patient, if you are only aware of your medical options. Remember…

“There is No Cure” often just means…

during the time this law was on city council’s agenda in March, April, and May, the GV city council changed the law to give itself the power to replace the city clerk with a person of its choosing to conduct a hearing on the subject of whether signatures on a recall petition to remove a member or members of the same city council are valid.

Other parts of the new law shortened the time during which a sitting council member can be recalled from 15 months to 12 months during a two-year term, and also tripled the advance notice a write-in candidate for GV city council must provide to the city of his or her intention to run, from the current requirement of 20 days before an election to 64 days before an election. Although no input from any member of the public was sought or received by the council prior to this action, these two aspects were discussed by the council members in a study session in March.

The GV City Clerk is the longtime elections official of the city and expert in election law and procedures.

During the study session on March 1 to discuss this new law, GV Mayor George Lantz said to City Clerk Susan Ortiz, “You’re the election expert, so we are relying on you for advice, and we appreciate it.”

During the discussion about the new law on March 1, Council Member Dave Kerber, asked the city attorney, “We can do whatever we want, right?” A short time later he explained, “Because we’re home rule.”

While discussing the subject of elections, Council Member Tom Dougherty raised the question of whether GV had ever considered instituting staggered terms. Most nearby cities, including Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Englewood, and Littleton use staggered four-year terms so that all council members don’t run at the same time. In Centennial, like GV, there are two council representatives from each district, but in Centennial, because terms are staggered, only one person runs from a district at a time, so council members must run as individuals against other candidates, rather than as a team, as has often occurred in GV, especially in recent years.

Dougherty noted that he was considering issues of “institutional knowledge

and continuity” that might be better served if only one council seat per district was up for election at a time.

Noting that staggered elections would require fouryear terms, Kerber, along with Council Members Anne Ingebretsen, Jerry Presley, and Dave Bullock said they were strongly against four-year terms.

Ingebretsen said, “I don’t see a problem, so I would discourage proceeding with this discussion any further.”

When Dougherty pointed out that the current system could possibly result in all council members being replaced at the same time, Ingebretsen said that she thought that if that occurred, some new councilmembers would probably have city board or commission experience. While that is often the case, there is no requirement that a city council candidate must have served on any GV board or commission. Current council member Judith Hilton did not. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

High-quality affordable childcare is the key to keeping women in the workplace

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

It will shock nobody that when children stopped being able to go to school or day care because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it impacted the jobs and careers of more mothers than fathers.

On May 6, Saja Hindi, politics reporter for the Denver Post, moderated a panel discussion sponsored by the Common Sense Institute (CSI) that did a deep dive into the short and long-term impact of the pandemic on the challenges faced by women in the work force, especially during the past year. The panelists also looked at the bigger question of what is necessary to remove the roadblocks for working women to achieve their potential and maximize their unique contribution to the workplace.

Kristin Strohm, president and CEO of CSI, said that in 1958, women made up less than one-third of the workforce. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in 2018, “57 percent of all women participated in the work force.” BLS also points to the significant increase in the education level of working women, noting, “from 1970 to 2018, the proportion of women ages 25 to 64 in the labor force who held a college degree quadrupled.”

Since the pandemic began, Strohm pointed out, women accounted for 55 percent of all jobs lost in our state. The

overall workforce in Colorado is down 4.4 percent, compared to 1.7 percent nationally, she explained. As of March, Colorado’s unemployment rate remained flat at 6.4 percent. When asked why they were not working, the majority of Colorado moms said that it was because schools were closed.

When Ms. Hindi asked why Colorado is lagging behind the national recovery rate, Strohm noted that our state has the eighth highest

cost of childcare in the nation. During the height of the pandemic last August, Betsey Stevenson, a professor of public policy and economics at the University of Michigan, said, “Economists have often treated work decisions in isolation from family decisions.

But there’s no way to separate your life like that. Everything is really intertwined.”

Even before the pandemic, on the larger issue of the role of quality child care in the overall economy, Stevenson

said, “The money we spend on…a high-quality child care program…they’re also providing a curriculum that helps children start to develop the skills they’re going to need to keep developing over their lifetime…Creativity is one of the most important skills in our modern economy. What we see is when you put kids through those types of early childhood child care centers that build skills, the kids come out with a broader set of skills and are more productive.

They also come out as more cooperative members of society, less likely to participate in crime, less likely to be violent, less likely to have learning-related issues that we then spend more on in through K–12 education. So there are linkages here. We’ve already agreed we’re going to provide…K–12 education. A lot of people think of that as an entitlement program. I don’t.

It’s investment. And I think we need to be thinking about child care in the same way.”

Panelist Nicole Riehl, president and CEO of Executives Partnering to Invest in Children (EPIC), focusing on the past year, shared that moms are more likely than dads to spend 20 hours each week on helping kids with virtual homework and doing housework, which impacts their ability to return to their jobs. She also noted a U.S. Chamber of Commerce study that said that half of moms who didn’t return to work had childcare issues.

Panelist Kristin Blessman,

president and CEO of the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, explained that 95 percent of businesses in this state are small businesses, so they might feel like they can’t help with childcare. She said, “If they work with groups like EPIC, we can help them find ways to do that…Large corporations are providing stipends and onsite care.”

Riehl added that the National Women’s Law Center has said that expanding childcare options would increase the total number of working women by 17%, and 31% for those without a college degree. She explained, “Women are a very productive segment of the workforce. They have lots of institutional knowledge. We want to eliminate barriers to them entering the workforce,” adding, “Child care has been an issue for a long time. In Colorado, there is one licensed spot for every three kids who need childcare, even though our population is growing.” She talked about two pieces of legislation that are being worked on currently, one to simplify the requirements for licensing in-home child care (HB21-1222) and another to support employers who want to provide child care (SB21-236).

Another important reason to get mothers back into the workplace, especially at high-level positions, is because of the unique perspective they provide. It was summed up by Kristin Blessman, who said, “When you have women in senior leadership and women on the board, you perform better financially as a corporation.” fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

New Arapahoe County chair shows the way to future success

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On May 5, Arapahoe County Republican Chair Suzanne Staiert spoke to over 100 people gathered at Maggiano’s DTC for the regular meeting of the Arapahoe County Republican Breakfast Club.

Staiert explained that, having lived in Arapahoe County for 30 years, “2020 lit a fire under me, at the state level, in the state that I care so much about, and at the county level, in the county I care so much about.”

Staiert said that Governor Polis’ first executive order after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was “ to put in more stations for electric vehicles.” She continued, “That was the first of… what is now 100 executive orders…It was never about coronavirus, it was about social engineering…It’s been really frightening,” adding, “We have an attorney general who is more interested in suing Donald Trump (According to NBC News, Democratic

state attorneys general sued various departments of the federal government 138 times while Trump was president) and getting on cases that have nothing to do with the state of Colorado than actually doing his job.” Staiert also criticized Secretary of State Jena Griswold for having “become the decision maker in campaign finance cases,” saying she “plays favorites.” According to Staiert, “In a case involving the Democratic Party, there was a fine set ($12,000)… it gets back down to the Secretary of State’s office… and they reduced it to $50.”

Staiert compared that to a case involving the Colorado Stop the Wolf Coalition in which, according to the Colorado Sun (Sun), “Administrative Law Judge Matthew Norwood… recommended a $1,000 fine,” which, Staiert reported, “went to $22,000,” when the Secretary of State’s office made its final determination. That is consistent with the reporting in the Sun. In November 2020, Staiert ran for state senate district 27, losing to Democrat Chris

Kolker by 10,000 votes after, she reported, $2 million was spent against her while she had a $100,000 campaign budget.

In response to her own rhetorical question, “Where do we go from here…after so many (election) losses across the state,” Staiert said, “We see our issues at the ballot win time after time…we see our tax issues win, we see issues to restrain government growth win, we see TABOR (Taxpay-

er Bill of Rights) issues win, so why aren’t our candidates winning and how do we capitalize on that? How do we get voters to stop the disconnect between the candidates and the issues?”

A change in policy that Staiert announced is that the party is going to begin actively supporting Republicans running for city offices and school boards, even though those are non-partisan races because, she explained that the Democrats already do it and, she said, “that is where we build our bench.”

Staiert explained that new Colorado residents are automatically registered to vote as unaffiliated when they get a driver’s license, which explains the significant increase in unaffiliated voters in recent years. However, as the number of unaffiliated voters goes up, the relative number and percentage of Republicans goes down, which negatively impacts the party’s ability to fundraise. To change that, she said, “We’ve got to talk to our unaffiliateds, especially the new ones who are coming

into the state that we know are really Republicans, we need to be reaching out to those people and explaining to them the benefits of registering as a Republican…Once we start flipping some of those people, we’ll start to see fundraising pick up. People think that Arapahoe County is coming back on the map. We’ll start to see people have a little more hope that we’re going to be able to win in these races...

We have to start showing that Arapahoe County is not a blue county. We see it in the numbers when we see how people are voting on the issues.” She pointed out that many who are registered as unaffiliated “care about where the county is headed,” and “care about conservative issues.”

Historically, Staiert said that Republicans in Arapahoe County “constantly out-fundraised Democrats until around 2015, (when the Democrats) got this new county chair who’s really…energized; she’s also a socialist and she raises a lot of money for the Continued on page 16

OPINION

Colorado’s climate plan SUBMITTED BY BOB DOYLE

In 2019, the Colorado Legislature passed a bill (HB 1261) establishing goals for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in our state.

These goals were further supported by Governor Polis’s GHG Reduction Roadmap which was completed in January of this year. The goals are a statewide GHG emissions reductions from 2005 levels of 26% by 2025, 50% by 2030, and 90% by 2050. These goals are generally consistent with the United Nations’ call to limit worldwide temperature rise to 1.5oC to prevent catastrophic changes on our planet. Due largely to man’s activities, temperatures have already risen by 1oC from preindustrial levels. With these actions, Colorado has placed itself at the forefront of climate action in the USA, along with several other states.

I believe it is fair to say that the Colorado Climate Plan will affect everyone living here. The question you might ask, will the actions needed to meet these goals be good or bad for me, and for my family? One way to address this question is to look at what is already happening in our state.

In the past several decades temperatures have risen (2018 was the warmest year on record), average precipitation has dropped (2018 was the second driest on record), wild-

fires have raged (2020 was our worst wildfire year ever), extreme flooding has increased (2013 front-range flooding was the most severe on record for this area), and the associated economic impacts have been great--billions of dollars have been spent or lost due to these climate-related impacts.

Two of our base industries, tourism and agriculture, are and will increasingly be threatened and negatively economically impacted by climate change unless we act.

Climate impacts will broaden and become more severe unless we and many other countries, including China and India, significantly curb GHG emissions. While it will take national and international action, much of what is required will come down to individual understanding, willingness to change and supportive action.

The Colorado Greenhouse Pollution Reduction Roadmap of 2021 (Roadmap) calls for specific areas of action to achieve the goals set by our legislature. It also recognizes that new legislation and regulatory action, led by the Air Quality Control Commission, is required. A move away from fossil fuels and a very significant expansion in renewable energy, mostly wind and solar, is required.

All sectors of our economy and infrastructure contribute to GHG emissions and

will need to change. These include transportation, electricity generation, oil and gas production and fuel use in residential, commercial and industrial spaces. This will mean the elimination of the remaining coal-fired power plants and eventually all fossil fuel derived natural gas plants, control and eventual elimination of methane (the main component in natural gas) releases and leaks from oil and gas production and distribution, changes in our transportation network as a means to reduce traffic, electrification of buildings and automobiles, control of GHG emissions from industrial sources and a reduction in methane (80 times more potent than CO2) emissions from landfills, sewage plants and agricultural operations. All of this is planned to be accomplished through innovation and to spur economic growth, implemented in a just and equitable manner to address current environmental and economic inequities and not create new ones.

Much is currently being done to implement the Roadmap. Our future depends on us and many others doing it right and achieving our goals in a manner that is demonstrably equitable and improves every Coloradan’s quality of life over what it might otherwise be.

What happened to the flu this year?

Seasonal influenza, also known as the flu, is a winter staple in America, visiting us every year, the only variable being how bad a season it is. The CDC tracks these numbers and over the past decade, flu cases ranged from 9 to 45 million cases per year in the US. Hospitalizations varied from 140 to 810 thousand, and deaths from 12 to 61 thousand, depending on the that year’s flu strain severity and vaccine efficacy.

This year surprisingly “flu activity is unusually low” according to the CDC, specifically only about 2000 cases recorded since last September, a far cry from the tens of millions of cases in past years. Hospitalizations are down too, at 224 as of midApril, far less than the average half a million in previous years.

So, what happened to the flu this year? Why is it virtually nonexistent compared to past years? Virologists have no answers.

One suggestion is improved public hygiene in the year of COVID, as if no one washed their hands or used hand sanitizer prior to a year ago. If

these measures stopped the flu this year, why didn’t they stop COVID? Same with social distancing, business and school closures, and lockdowns. If they stopped the flu, why not COVID as

BY BRIAN C. JOONDEPH well?

Was the flu vaccine suddenly more effective last year, above the average 40-60 percent effectiveness each year?

Not likely, especially since during the COVID surge last fall, people were avoiding medical facilities and fewer were likely vaccinated.

What about masks? Given that influenza and COVID viruses are approximately the same size, and far smaller than the pore size in surgical masks, how did masks stop the flu and not COVID? Maybe testing provides the answer. What if influenza cases were incorrectly labeled as COVID? Are the overly sensitive COVID PCR tests finding viral fragments from influenza which trigger a positive COVID result? If so, then flu numbers may be much higher and COVID numbers much lower than reported. Are hospitals paid more if COVID is attached to the diagnosis rather than

influenza? Is the CDC playing it straight with their data and recommendations? Many questions, few answers.

The CDC director recently said their data, “suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus” yet vaccinated people are still distanced and masked.

If masks work, why the push for the vaccine? If the vaccine works, and it does far more effectively than the flu vaccine, why are we still masked up? It can’t be both ways.

The same CDC worked with a national teachers’ union to draft school opening guidance.

Is this about science or politics?

The CDC has also changed how it views deaths from COVID versus the vaccine. Every death, regardless of cause, was called a COVID death if the deceased tested positive for COVID, even if they died in an accident. Yet now the CDC is quick to distance any death following vaccination from the vaccine.

Did the flu magically disappear this year? Or is this just a numbers game, played with political rather than scientific rules?

CU President Mark Kennedy announces he will move on

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

It was announced on May 10 that University of Colorado President Mark Kennedy has told the CU Board of Regents that he will be resigning from his position.

When Mark Kennedy was chosen to be president of the University of Colorado on May 2, 2019, it was on a party line vote of 5-4, with Republicans in control of the Board of Regents. There were numerous and strenuous objections to his selection from many in CU’s academic community.

After the November 2, 2020 election, the CU Board of Regents became Democrat-controlled by the same majority, 5-4. Many believed that the handwriting was on the wall.

On April 29, Kennedy was censured by the Boulder Faculty Assembly, where 53 of 60 faculty members from various departments voted for a formal motion to do so, citing Kennedy’s “failure of leadership with respect to diversity, equity, and inclusion.” The motion listed ten separate reasons for the vote that included 276 words describing Kennedy’s actions that gave rise to the censure, including, “Whereas, President Kennedy responded to the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol with a partisan message that referenced “identity politics” and “fake news” and ultimately pivoted to promoting his online education initiative, minimizing the gravity of the events and their impacts;” and, “Whereas, President Kennedy’s ongoing conduct damages the national and international reputation of the University of Colorado as a leader in addressing the human-

itarian, social, and technological challenges of the twenty-first century.”

That followed a report in the Boulder Daily Camera that the Student Government Legislative Council on April 16 had voted unanimously to “censure Kennedy at a virtual meeting, citing ‘racist or problematic’ remarks, insensitivity and disrespect to the indigenous community, not demonstrating solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community on campus and lack of action on issues facing international students and students of color.”

In his letter of resignation, Kennedy cited the new Democratic majority on the Board of Regents.

Democrats have not controlled that board since 1980.

Kennedy was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota from 2001 to 2007 and president of the University of North Dakota from 2016 to 2019. The Board of Regents has not announced a timetable for replacing Kennedy. It plans to conduct a nationwide search for CU’s next president.

Any proposal received after the above specified time will be immediately returned to the Bidder unopened.

The site of the work is within the Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District.

The work generally consists of: • Partial demolition of two existing master water meter vaults in the east edge of the roadway intersection, with modification of piping therein to install a 16-inch gate valve.

• Installation of a new 16’L x 8’W x 7’H precast concrete meter vault with two 10-inch water meters, check valves, and related components and accessories.

• Cut-ins to existing 24inch steel water conduit, including butt-strap welding, repair of mortar lining, and installation of anode cathodic protection and insulating joints to be performed

by Denver-Water approved contractor or subcontractor.

• A small temporary water supply will be required to keep 5 customers in service during construction which can be fed from a nearby hydrant on the same side of the street.

• Most of the work will occur within the median of Iliff Avenue. Permitting from Arapahoe County and associated traffic control will be required accordingly.

• Arapahoe County anticipates beginning a street widening project around the same timeframe. It is unknown the extent of any coordination

needed between contractors, if any, to accommodate simultaneous work. The intent is to complete the installation of the vault as soon as possible prior to the County roadway contractor fully mobilizing and beginning work in earnest.

2. The Contract Documents, containing the detailed Drawings and Specifications for the construction work, together with the proposed construction Contract, may be seen at the office of Merrick & Co., 2480 W. 26th Avenue, Unit B225, Denver, Colorado, 80211. PDF copies thereof may be obtained from Merrick & Company by e-mailing a request to plansrequest@merrick. com.

3. Bid security in the amount of 5 percent, unqualified, of the total Proposal price, will be required with each Proposal. Character and disposition of such bid security are stated in “Instructions to Bidders” of the Contract Documents. Included with the Contract Documents is a Bid Bond form to be used by Bidders not submitting a cashier’s check or a certified check.

4. Further information will be found in “Instructions to Bidders” of the Contract Documents. Each Bidder will be assumed to be familiar with all Contract Documents, including all Drawings and Specifications.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Rural Development Public Notice Announcing the Availability of an Environmental Assessment DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Rural Development Hunter Solar: Notice of Availability of an Environmental Assessment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Hunter Solar proposes to develop a 75-MW AC solar PV generation facility located on approximately 571 acres of undeveloped, agricultural land near the Town of Bennett in Arapahoe County, Colorado. Hunter Solar will contain rows of PV cell panels, also referred to as modules, mounted on posts set in the ground. These rows of PV panels are referred to as “solar arrays.” The solar arrays will be mounted on a tracking system, which allows them to follow the sun throughout the day as the panels face east in the morning, are horizontal at midday, and face west in the afternoon.

Solar components will comply with the current edition of the National Electric Code, be UL listed (or equivalent), and designed with an anti-reflective coating. There will be approximately two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) 440-watt solar modules, thirty (30) inverters, and thirty (30) transformers on site.

2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is home run

BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST

There are a lot of RAV4s on the road, the neat as a pin SUVs with the metal frame spare tire on the trunk lid. Well, those are the older models, still attractive and motoring down the freeways like new.

Toyota now has an advanced hybrid RAV4 that averages 40 mpg and sports a 2.5L four-cylinder engine combined with the battery components providing 219 horsepower with a versatile transmission and all-wheel drive.

The manufacturer’s suggested list price is $37,030 with some optional packages of a limited weather package and advanced technical programs adding several thousand dollars, but well worth the extra money for a SUV that will last for decades.

Final assembly is in Georgetown, KY for one of Toyota’s leading products. The RAV4

rides on 18 inch tires, has a sleek design minus the rear tire that disappeared a few years back.

The “Silver Sky” metallic paint adds to the attractive appearance of the much larger vehicle, both in price and size.

Sporting a perfect fivestar

overall safety rating, the vehicle is loaded with the latest safety features that include the Toyota Safety Sense system and Star Safety technical advanced program.

The hybrid drive is quiet, powerful, and economic with fast acceleration and stability.

The RAV4 has excellent steering

and handling and comfortable heated and cooled seats, front and rear.

Outside mirrors are large and efficient, the radio is dial operated and has 11 JBL speakers that provide excellent sound.

Temperatures are easily controlled by center console keys.

Cameras provide front and rear clear pictures and warnings of forward and rear objects.

An overhead 360-degree picture is also featured.

This hybrid is the future of the automobile industry and is close to perfection in performance, economy, and driving pleasure. It all comes together in this RAV4 all-wheel drive that is price competitive with other more expensive brands.

This is one of the best vehicles test driven so far in 2021.

Additionally, a UN report addressed, “The need for two houses means the consumption of household energies is at least doubled.”

Will this information make couples reconsider divorcing?

Probably not. Divorcing couples are so driven to improving their quality of life, they are not thinking about the deleterious

effects on the planet. One couple interviewed in a recent survey stated, “Had my husband and I understood the risks of divorce, as well as the tools and research coming from attachment science that help couples uncover and restore their primal love bond to emotional vibrancy, we would most likely have skipped our divorce altogether. We are one of the many hundreds of thousands of couples who fell into the socalled divorce trap because we

if the Republican Party had a strategy to win back the State House or the State Senate. She responded, “Sign up for the notices from the redistricting commission…Colorado is one of the most gerrymandered states for the Democrats…

voters in Grand County and diluted all their votes with downtown Boulder people so Grand County has no voice in the legislature, because they are represented by somebody from Boulder…Rhonda Fields represents Heritage Eagle Bend (in southeast Aurora)…There’s a citizens’ redistricting com-

didn’t have all the information, but now, we do.”

Thanks to the Coalition for Divorce Reform, information about the risks of divorce, as well as tools available for struggling couples are being disseminated.

Additionally, the Kids Against Divorce Organization gives a critical voice to the millions of children who experience divorce.

One of the tools is a series of no cost marriage retreats that The Center for Relationship Education is kicking off this week tar-

geting First Responder couples who are in the military, law enforcement, medical professionals, EMTs, and firefighters. First Responder couples are at high risk because they have a higher divorce rate, higher domestic violence, mental health and suicide issues, substance abuse and high levels of stress affecting their physical and emotional well-being. The Center for Relationship Education is dedicated to caring for these couples and providing them with relationship

skills, tools for connection and attachment, time to be together away from the stresses, including childcare and positive experiences in the form of fun and date night activities. The Coalition for Divorce Reform is dedicated to reducing divorce and saving the planet. For every divorce in America, they plant a tree!

Perhaps that is how we can all be involved in Earth Day. Save a marriage, plant a tree! For more information contact joneen@my relationshipcenter.org.
