Legislature Honors Career of GV Mayor Rakowsky stint on the city’s board of adjustments and appeals (when this reporter was that board’s chair). Rakowsky became mayor pro tem in 2005 and was appointed to the position of mayor in 2011 when incumbent Mayor Nancy Sharpe resigned after being elected Arapahoe County Commissioner.

Currently chairing the Arapahoe County Justice Coordinating Committee, Rakowsky retired from the United States Air Force in 1994 as a colonel serving in the position of judge advocate.

Soper recounted meeting Rakowsky in 2005 when Soper was a legislative aide, describing “Mayor Ron” as “someone who mentors individuals to make them better leaders, going back to his days in the military where

In a proclamation read on the floor of the Colorado House of Representatives April 24, the state Legislature extended its “sincere commendations” to Greenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky as his final four-year term of office winds down. Sept.

24, which is the mayor’s birthday, has been designated by the legislature as “Ron Rakowsky Day” in honor of his years of dedication to public service. The proclamation was issued at the request of Reps. Meg Froelich and Matt Soper along with state Sen. Jeff Bridges.

Rakowsky began his service on city council in GV in November 2003 following a

Greenwood Village City Council member Dave Bullock chairs an infrastructure committee that has been meeting for the past 18 months. The committee recommended the city hire a consultant to advise it in determining what policies it should adopt regarding additional wireless equipment in GV, an ever-increasing need.

On Dec. 10, 2018, GV hired Aero Wireless Group of Boulder for $89,500, to advise the city on aesthetic standards for small cell facilities including “a master planned implementation strategy for 5G and future gen-

he commanded a unit of 675 people and worked on projects at the Pentagon. Since then, he’s been an individual who has embodied public service to its fullest.”

erations.”

Three months later, at a study session March 4, Aero’s Mike Hogansen presented city council a diagram of locations where three of the four wireless carriers wanted to have 45 small cell facilities. The ensuing discussion made it clear that only current technology was being addressed. Bullock said, “This information is good, but quite frankly, not that helpful to me because we can figure out how many polls we’re going to need for 4G. … What I thought we were looking at…is to have a plan {for future 5G technology].…We know the criteria: the criteria is that 5G requires poles every 1,500 feet or less.”

refuted that statement, indicating it was not applicable to Greenwood Village. He said that the wireless carriers had told Aero, “The poles that need to be that close together are in incredibly urban dense high traffic areas and that’s ust not the demand that we’re seeing or projecting” for GV. ackson also confirmed that the diagram of wireless equipment locations city council was reviewing was only for current 4G technology. Hogansen said, “This is a snapshot of what everybody says they need right now at this moment in time.”

Returning to the issue of whether the consultant’s work addressed the city’s needs to accommodate 5G service in the future, city council member Anne Ingebretsen asked, “So obviously you can’t shed much light on what 5G would look like in terms of installations in the city?” Hoganson responded, “Based on what I’m being told right now, that’s correct.”

The 51-page GV Small Cell Infrastructure Design Guidelines, issued in April and available on the city’s website, includes detailed information on what colors and shapes small cell wireless facilities (poles) should be and that pole height are limited to 30 feet in residential neighborhoods. In commercial areas, they may be 40 feet tall. Carriers are also instructed that GV prefers that wireless equipment be incorporated into already-existing poles wherever possible. To further that goal, March 4 city council voted to enter into negotiations with Xcel Energy to potentially acquire 790 street lights in its boundaries presently owned and maintained by the utility. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Youth in today’s world

A recent study reports that “today’s youth are indifferent to government, to news about the world around them, have little respect for their elders, do not really approve of hard work, diligence, thrift, responsibility, civility, devotion to family, or to law and order, and civic responsibility.”

And, if that weren’t enough, it further stated that today’s young adults keep up, less with current events, read fewer newspapers and watch less television news than did their counterparts in past decades.

What’s new here? Every generation has had similar surveys made by “disgruntled grown-ups” that report on the terrible state of the up and coming “young adults.”

Still, what is youth for, if not a certain self-absorption, time to explore their own interests, and the things that delight them before taking on the harness of career and family? Being young, after all, is a serious business.

But, if adults want kid’s respect, we must first take a long and painful look at ourselves. e may find that they are changing less than the world around them, and naturally, we are seeing their response.

The Rockies seem to be warming up and climbing out of the cellar as they have found their bats once again. Usually, they start strong and fade in the midsummer, then bounce back to finish strong.

da’s and was curious to find out why Cherry Hills had dropped out of South Suburban Parks and Recreation a number of years ago. He knew the answer, but it was primarily over the parks and who would maintain them.

Cherry Hills purchased them back from South Suburban through a lawsuit where CHV would own and maintain the park system and pay fees to the great Greenwood Athletic Club. Russell who is an attorney was very knowledgeable on the subject.

Payment has been going to South Suburban and will end this year.

larly women and middle-aged men, look out for their own future. Mergers, foreign competition and rapid technological shifts, put more responsibility on the individual to prepare for their own retirement.

Today’s cultural change is represented by the headset that has each person listening to their own music. Sporting events such as the golf tournament gallery and the Bronco’s grandstand have become the communal gathering most celebrated in our daily newspaper and television.

But, all is not lost with today’s youth any more than it was by previous generations.

The youths I see are hard at work, attempting to pay off their college loans while staying one step ahead of their new ones.

Our world has really been the one that changed – changed more than them. Today’s youth may actually be more our contemporaries than the Victorians who supposedly lived by “values” that no one, least of all they, ever, ever observed.

Historians point out that Victorians were, in reality, a people of sanctimonious piety and hypocritical morality.

Today I have faith in the youth of America, and I am sure they will make our country even greater than it has ever been.

Eighty-seven Members of South Metro Denver REALTOR® Association Earn SMART Designation Recognizing Successful Completion of Stringent Real Estate Classes

E

SUBMITTED BY SMDRA

ighty-seven REALTOR® members of the South Metro Denver REALTOR® Association (SMDRA) have earned the highly regarded SMART designation recognizing the successful completion of stringent real estate courses or Continuing Education classes. The SMART designation sets real estate professionals apart from the mainstream and is regarded as a symbol of a designees’ dedication to the pursuit of higher standards, which is a key mission of SMDRA. SMART designees were recognized during SMDRA’s April Power Breakfast held Friday, April 5, 2019 at the association’s Littleton headquarters.

The South Metro Advanced REALTOR Training Designation (SMART) is designed to reward and provide recognition to SMDRA REALTOR members who exceed continuing education requirements as set forth by the Colorado Real Estate Commission. Available exclusively to SMDRA members, the SMART designation is awarded to those who have earned a minimum number of points over a calendar year. Points were awarded to all classes, including those that did not qualify for Continuing Education credit, and attendance was tracked throughout the year.

“SMART is part of a larger effort to a commitment of excellence that sets the REALTOR brand apart,” said Marcel Savoie, Chairman of the Board of SMDRA. “Our association is dedicated to the pursuit of higher standards for all of our REALTOR members. The designation is a reward for our members who go above and beyond the minimum education requirements. At SMDRA, we believe that

all industry related education is vital to our members’ careers, and the more you learn the more you earn.”

Aurora mayor comments on Centennial police decision

BY DORIS B. TRUHLAR GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Aurora Mayor Bob LeGare says Centennial would likely be better off, at least economically, continuing with the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s ffice, rather than establishing its own law enforcement agency. Centennial is now investigating whether it should set up its own agency.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Dave Walcher, a Republican,

was defeated by Tyler Brown, a Democrat, in the November 2018 election. Walcher is now conducting an investigation for the Centennial City Council regarding whether it should establish its own police department. It is anticipated that the decision likely will be made during June of this year.

Walcher generally was highly regarded and had been recruited by the former sheriff, Grayson Robinson, from

the Jefferson County Sheriff’s ffice, to take the helm of the office of the Arapahoe Sheriff. Walcher had served one four-year term as sheriff before he was defeated in November 2018.

In an interview with The Villager, the Aurora mayor said he has run the numbers, and that the City of Centennial is spending only about $263.03 per capita (for each resident) for its law enforcement services, which compares very favorably with the $325.58 that Aurora spends, the $353.14 in Denver, the $693.75 that the City of Greenwood Village pays, and the $516.67 expended by Cherry Hills Village.

Le are based his figures on the $29 million that Centennial is paying to Arapahoe County for law enforcement services provided by the Arapahoe Sheriff ffice in 2019, and on an estimated population for Centennial of 110,250.

A longtime member of the Aurora City Council and a 43-year resident of that city, LeGare began his service with two terms, from 1995 to 2003, and then was re-elected in 2011, serving to the present. He was appointed mayor by the city council to fill out the remainder of the term of Mayor Steve Hogan, who died in 2018. His term will end Dec. 2, and he is not running for election in November.

A retired commercial real estate broker, LeGare has served in numerous roles for Aurora and also has served within other prominent orga-

nizations, including the Aurora Chamber of Commerce, the Aurora Association of Realtors, the Denver Regional Council of Governments, and the Aurora Boys and Girls Club.

The Aurora mayor also said that he knows of no reason that Brown cannot adequately do the job, especially since he heads an agency “with lots of leadership below the chief.” There certainly is the “potential for the sheriff’s office to run smoothly, he added. “I don’t think Centennial’s law enforcement services will fall apart,” LeGare said he serves on the board of the regional crime lab, titled the nified orensic Lab, with Brown.

“I think that, if I had any involvement with the City of Centennial, I would be concerned not to overreact, because it is a big decision, whether to establish a law enforcement agency from scratch,” he said. “I suspect that the research and the bottom line numbers will come to that same conclusion,” to continue with the Arapahoe sheriff.

Additionally, when asked if the consultant might slant the decision to personally benefit, he said that alcher, who is doing an independent investigation on behalf of the Centennial council, “has far too much integrity to recommend that Centennial set up its own police agency” just to benefit himself. He would not do that.”

LeGare said there are many expenses involved in establishing a law enforce-

Covering business

ment agency and running it, including, for e ample, eet maintenance, administration, a detectives’ bureau, crime investigators and various other divisions, including homicide.

Additionally, there is the consideration of the efficiencies of a larger organization.

Law enforcement is extremely e pensive. or e ample, police cars have more maintenance costs than a family car or even other commercial vehicles, since they often are operated “24 hours a day.

They don’t last nearly as long as household vehicles or even most commercial vehicles,” the mayor commented. In general, police vehicles only last a few years.

A reason that Centennial might set up its own police department would be to have “full control” of law enforcement functions, LeGare said.

At the same time, the city would “end up with the other things that come with full control, including union negotiations and pension costs.

On a long-term basis, there is a duplication of services” when each municipality has its own law enforcement agency. Not only that, but it would most likely cost much more than the $263.03 per resident that he estimates Centennial now spends in its contract for law enforcement services.

So, at this point, it is a wait-and-see situation, with the Centennial City Council carefully investigating the possibility of establishing its own police department. There should be an answer to the question by June of this year.

GV’s 30th Tree City Award celebrated at the renovated park

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On April 26, Greenwood Village celebrated Arbor Day and the awarding of its 30th annual Tree City USA Award at the grand reopening of Running Fox Park at 5290 S. Quebec St. Running Fox Park is a unique and spectacular amenity in the city. Although it doesn’t have its own designated parking area, it is located

along with a popular trail system that is enjoyed by local residents for morning and afternoon walks. Many who work in the nearby commercial area walk over to enjoy it on their lunch breaks.

The complete renovation of the park included redesigning the pond to approximately one-third of its original size, fully lined and beautifully landscaped. Besides being more attractive, it is more ecological, conserving water

Blended family challenges and celebrations

I love holidays, especially delighting in Easter as the start of spring, warmer weather, greener lawns and more outside events. I love the tradition of the Easter egg hunt, dressing up in pastels, going to church and celebrating new life in both religious and secular dimensions. What stresses me out is the potential of emotional and logistical strain wrapped up with holidays. Blended families, even with adult children with children of their own, can be stressful. Will everyone get along? Will the older grandchildren, on my husband’s side, enjoy the Easter egg hunt as much as the younger grandson my side? Where will people sit for dinner? Should the older children sit at the children’s table?

Should we feed them first so they can play while the adults enjoy their dinner?

Even for the most happily married couples, the holidays can be complicated and fraught with con ict and compromise.

It is exponentially more tangled for parents and grandparents who are trying to walk the tightrope of pleasing all and making memories in a blended family.

What we did this year is plan well. The food was plentiful, and we served items that both children and adults enjoy. We had several tables set so individuals, families, siblings, cousins and step-children could arrange where they wanted to sit after going through the abundance of choices on the buffet. We had the egg hunt with the littles and a treasure hunt for the older ones. The older kids were paired with a younger partner from their step-cousins so they could compete together. There were prizes for all.

Since there is a diversity of

thought and even some animas regarding politics or religious traditions, we made a pact to keep these types of discussions either limited or off limits. We need to try to maintain relationships, rather than being right.

One of the strategies to keep stress low and connection high is to not be offended or sensitive about inartful or harsh comments that could be misinterpreted. We try remembering that there is no guile in anyone, and we should seek to be graceful and forgiving with one another. We expect everyone to act with emotional restraint, maturity and leadership making the time together peaceful and calm.

We continue to try new ways to connect with our growing blended family working hard to make them memorable, even magical, with so many moving parts.

Divorce is never easy; the ensuing challenges afterward continue long after the breakup.

When remarriage occurs, life gets complicated when there are children on both sides. Add to that, spouses of adult children and grandchildren on each side.

Creating a new tribe and developing new rules, traditions and memories are challenging. The tribe we created is a delight, filled with diversity, grace and patience.

This did not happen by chance.

It was done with love, kindness and intention. Every holiday I am thankful for the foundation that has been built to create our new family. Happy spring!

by recirculating it.

This project was completed at the modest cost of $50,000 of city funds by using the GV Parks, Trails and Recreation (PTR) Department in-house landscape architect to design it and regular in-house PTR crews to complete the major construction, allowing the entire budget to be used for materials. Specialty contractors were only needed for the pump system and structural concrete. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Local synagogues address security after San Diego tragedy

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

In light of the most recent hate crime perpetrated April 27 in a Poway, California Chabad synagogue, area Jewish houses of worship reached out to their congregants to assure them that they are doing everything possible to maintain a secure environment in which to congregate and pray.

In Greenwood Village, Aish Synagogue is wellknown for maintaining longstanding strong security procedures. Mayor Ron Rakowsky said, “Greenwood Village Police Department (GVPD) keeps a watchful eye on all of our religious institutions.

Aish Synagogue is particularly aware of security and works closely with GVPD at all times.” Rabbi Yaakov Meyer said of the events in Poway, “I am so pained by

Top 10 reasons your pet may be itching

SUBMITTED BY ONLY NATURAL PET Itching, and the scratching, biting and licking that goes with it, is one of the most common health problems in dogs and cats.

Frequent head-shaking, scratching, rubbing, chewing, or licking some area of skin (including ears) means there’s a problem with itching, technically called “pruritis.” Left untreated, itchy skin can be damaged by the pet’s scratching, rubbing or licking, which may lead to “hot spots” (areas of oozing, dry or in amed skin , as well as secondary infections. Finding out what is causing the itch, and resolving that cause, is essential to your pet’s quality of life.

In very general terms, itchyskin problems in pets fall into just a few, main categories: poor nutrition, infections, parasites and allergies are the major players; but endocrine diseases, primary skin disorders, neoplasia (cancer), autoimmune, psychogenic (mental-neurological) causes, and drug reactions may also occur. Sometimes more than one factor may be contributing to the problem.

The top 10 itch causing factors are nutrition, infection, eas, other insects and arachnids, airborne allergies, food allergies, genetic factors and breed predisposition, vaccine reactions, glandular/ hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism, Cushing’s disease and deto ification. Let’s ust touch on a few! Nutrition does not include food allergies, but diets containing lower-quality nutrients are at the root of many an itchy pet.

We know that good nutrition is the foundation of health, and the corollary is also true: cheap ingredients (such as corn and by-products) make for expensive vet bills. Even vets tend to be poorly educated on nutrition, and often recommend grocery store, or “prescription” type diets. Become a label reader and choose only good quality natural foods for your cat or dog.

Skin infection is common in pets. Major culprits are ringworm

(not actually a worm, but a fungus that is highly contagious to pets and humans). One thing that vets don’t talk much about is why infection occurs. In holistic terms, infections are always secondary; the skin is unhealthy for some reason (often nutrition-related), and then invaders like bacteria, yeast and fungus set in. Keeping the skin healthy via good nutrition, with wholesome meat proteins and essential fatty acids is the best prevention.

Flea allergy dermatitis is an intensely itchy allergic reaction to ea saliva triggered by a ea bite. atural ea and tick control products are safer than using toxic pesticides on your pet.

We carry supplements for parasites and heartworm that are natural. Many animals are allergic to the same things that cause human allergies (dust, grasses, pollen, etc.

Hypoallergenic diets, allergy support products and again, essential fatty acid supplements can be helpful. Food allergies are not quite as common as most people think and are actually more common in cats than dogs. Grain-free and novel protein foods, as well as raw food dies can do much to alleviate foodbased allergies for many animal companions.

Allergy season is here! The skin is the largest organ of elimination.

Many irritants, residues and compounds can be excreted through the skin. This is why pets develop skin symptoms from allergies that in people, cause respiratory discharges.

Come in to Only Natural Pet in Greenwood Village and talk to our nutritional consultants to learn more about what you can do for your pet’s needs during allergy season and the summer months when we all enjoy the outdoors.

this tragedy. Yet, I must admit that unless someone has God forbid gone through such a tragedy personally, it is impossible to know the pain of the families that were so crushed and terrorized. May God grant them comfort and solace. Let us together as a community stand up for what we really believe in and serve as role models to all those around us.”

The Hebrew Educational Alliance (HEA) in southeast Denver told its members that it works closely with the

Denver Police Department on an ongoing basis and that the Department of Homeland Security had performed a detailed evaluation of its facilities and security practices a year ago, recommending upgrades to its facilities and practices that have been implemented. HEA again reviewed and further enhanced its staff training and procedures after the murders at the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh six months ago.

At nearby Temple Sinai Congregation, members were

reminded that “professional security teams are supported by state-of-the-art security systems,” and that Denver Police would be present throughout the weekend.

The Chabad Jewish Center of South Metro Denver in Lone Tree counts as one of its regular members an active PD officer who provides regular security during its Sabbath and holiday services, in addition to standard security protocols. fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

n Saturday, April 27, Greenwood Village hosted its resident families to an early morning of fishing, fun and free food. As it has since the 1900s, the city stocked the large pond (or small lake) at Tommy Davis Park at 9200 E. rchard Rd. with fish from a trout farm in Boulder ranging in size from 8 inches to 20 inches long. More than 325 people aged 1 to 81 came out to play. Dozens of kids, with help from parents and grandparents, threw their fishing lines in to try to reel in one of the trout. Those who were successful took their fish to the city-staffed cleaning station and came back a few minutes later to pick up their prize catch, cut, cleaned and gutted, ready to go directly onto the grill for dinner. About fish were caught. Those remaining will stay in the pond for their natural life unless they are caught on another day. Fishing at Tommy Davis Park remains open to all with no license required.

Next, the kids watched with glee as their numbered rubber ducks raced down the channel in the middle of the park. As always, there were plenty of prizes for those whose rubber ducks swam the fastest.

Pulling it all together – The Four Financial quadrants sources of income somehow dried up. Or, if you had some big emergency, something outside of your normal cash ow, or even a big opportunity, this is where the money’s going to come from.

BY DAVID MORRISON FINANCIAL ADVISOR/PARTNER PROSPERION FINANCIAL ADVISORS

“The future will come whether you plan for it or not. Will you have the future you want or the future that happens to you by default?”

– Bill Bachrach In this column I’ve been giving you a sketch of the book Values-Based Financial Planning – The Art of Creating an Inspiring Financial Strategy to provide you with a taste of the process to get your financial future on course.

We’ve covered discovering your values and your goals, and then benchmarking your financial reality by collecting all the statements and pieces of information that will provide you the complete story of your finances.

This week we’ll focus on

David Morrison

categorizing what you pulled together from your collected documents.

We’ll categorize it very simply in what our team calls the Four Financial Quadrants.

1. First Quadrant: Cash Reserves. This is the money you’ve got in checking and savings. These very liquid assets are available if your paycheck disappeared and your

2. Second Quadrant: Debt.

It’s remarkable how people can amass a pretty significant amount of debt without thinking about it. Here’s where you asses how much is on your credit cards, your car loan, the mortgage. It’s good to know what your interest rates are and the loan term details, but many people have no idea of their total debt, much less those other details.

3. Third Quadrant: Insurance. While you can look at your annual statement, you can often overlook both the cost and the value of the insurance coverages you have.

These include life insurance, but also things like home-

owners coverage, your auto and other vehicle coverages, and umbrella liability policies. One of the dangers of having high assets in your name is if you’re sued, those assets are subject to your creditors and an umbrella liability policy can help protect them. Here’s where you’ll assess whether your coverages are actually adequate.

4. Fourth Quadrant: Growth/Income Assets.

These are the obvious ones: stocks, bonds, funds, 401ks, IRAs, investment accounts and investment real estate – the assets that will fund your future goals and lifestyle.

Many people have never seen all their numbers pulled together like this. We often ask people if there were any surprises. The most frequent answer I hear to that question is, “I’m surprised I’ve got all this? I’ve never looked at it on one page before.”

This is a truly valuable exercise to go through for your family, to benchmark where you are today and look at the things you’ve done (or need to do) to mitigate your risk.

Look for my next article which covers something even more exciting – creating your personal Financial Roadmap.

Mother’s Day ideas for moms from all walks of life other’s Day is a celebration of women who devote so much of their effort and energy to their families. Celebrating Mom on Mother’s Day lets her know all of her efforts haven’t

gone unnoticed.

Mothers may perform similar tasks, but no two moms are the same. Finding ways to celebrate mom’s uniqueness can make the day that much more meaningful and memorable.

The Crafter

Mothers who are avid crafters may enjoy a craftthemed Mother’s Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun afternoon and produce mementos that mom

will cherish for years to come.

Dads and kids can plan the project in advance without mom’s knowledge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time and setting up the crafting station the night before

or while mom is relaxing on Mother’s Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft for mom and giving it to her as a Mother’s Day present.

ed in outdoor activities were women. If mom is a nature enthusiast, families can plan a Mother’s Day enjoying the great outdoors, even giving mom a new fishing pole, hiking gear or other items that align with her favorite nature activity.

The Relaxation Specialist

Of course, some mothers may want to simply unwind with a relaxing morning at the spa on Mother’s Day. In fact, the 2018 U.S. Spa Industry Study found that the spa industry has enjoyed seven consecutive years of consistent growth, with more than 187 billion spa visits in 2017 alone. A relaxing morning at the spa can be the perfect way for moms to begin Mother’s Day before they enjoy a brunch of dinner out with their families.

Mother’s Day celebrations can be as unique as the women being celebrated.

Unique Mother’s Day gift ideas

Mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and many more remarkable women often work tirelessly and without fanfare to provide for their families. Even though they may deserve to be recognized throughout the year, moms enjoy a special day nestled within the month of May when children, spouses and others celebrate Mother’s Day. Many people give heartfelt gifts on Mother’s Day to express their love for the mothers in their lives. The perfect gift may focus on mom’s interests and the things that make her truly happy. With that in mind, the following shopping tips can help anyone find the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

• Explore spa packages. What mother won’t benefit from some rest and relaxation with a little pampering thrown in? Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother’s Day packages that cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets.

• Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favorite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have

May 2, 2019 • THE VILLAGER | PAGE 21

Sunday, May 12 • limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, gift givers can cook a meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in an upscale restaurant.

• Schedule a paint and sip.

A paint and sip session is a unique gift. A session is typically two hours and includes step-by-step instructions. Patrons are encouraged to bring snacks and their favorite beverages. With the right planning, well-intentioned children can turn the evening into a “Ladies Night Out” and

encourage other moms to join in the fun. Or the entire family can paint masterpieces together.

• Give tickets to a show or sporting event. Whether mom is a sports fan, or she prefers the theater or live music, event tickets can make a wonderful gift.

Unique gift ideas include tickets to Cirque du Soleil, Shen Yun or a Broadway play.

• Give the gift of wine tasting. Wineries can be found across the country and frequently open their doors to wine tastings and wine pairing events. A Mother’s Day wine tasting can be special for the entire family and support local businesses. Check the vineyard’s rules on guests.

Many times, those under 21 can attend but will not be permitted to consume wine, though other refreshments may be available.

Mother’s Day offers the perfect opportunity to lavish attention on special women. Gifts that cater to mom’s interests will make the biggest splash.

The 411 on Mother’s Day flowers Mother’s Day is an annual holiday that honors motherhood and provides an opportunity for men, women and children to show their mothers how much they appreciate them.

The tradition of Mother’s Day in the United States dates back more than a century to 1908, when West Virginia native Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother, who had passed away three years earlier, and all mothers in Grafton, West Virginia. Mother’s Day would ultimately become a national holiday in the United States in 1914, thanks in large part to Jarvis’ campaigning. As Jarvis, who never married and never had children of her own, grew old, she criticized Mother’s Day as overly commercial, even trying to have it removed from the calendar. Those efforts failed, and Mother’s Day remains popular now, more than 100 years after the idea for it was conceived.

While Mother’s Day traditions have changed since Jarvis first proposed the holiday, many people feel it’s customary to

his was my first introduction to a apanese manufactured Mitsubishi vehicle. he ruby black pearl paint and S styling are comparable to many of the modern day utility vehicle designs.

My initial reaction to this vehicle was that it was different inside the cabin it felt compact with many controls and buttons to figure out for the driving e perience. t made me think of the highly efficient apanese ero airplanes that were so dominant during the Pacific orld ar con icts. he apanese planes were fast and deadly in fierce battles. he apanese have been leaders in the electronics industry since the war and have become strong allies of the .S. and ma or trading partners.

My drive in the utlander was cautioning, figuring out the controls and in this particular model, a Hybrid with a . L gasoline engine linked to two electric motors capable of operating the vehicle for

But don’t do this with dangerous drugs, such as opioids, which can be abused. For these, the DA says ushing them down the toilet is OK. But trace amounts of drugs can end up in the water supply so this should be done only as a last resort. To see the FDA list of medications that should be ushed when they are no longer needed, go to www.FDA.gov and type ush list” into the search box.

Or, another option is to purchase some medication disposal bags like the Medsaway Medication Disposal System.

These are carbon pouches that

are designed to neutralize all medication including narcotics, liquid medication, transdermal patches and controlled substances so you can just add water and toss them in the trash. You can find medication disposal bags at some local pharmacies or online at Amazon.com for around $15.

You’ll also want to make sure to scratch out all your mom’s personal information on the empty medicine bottles or other packaging before throwing it away to protect her identity and privacy.

If you have other questions about proper drug disposal, talk to your pharmacist.

Dr. Annelise Dawson is a renowned Harvard- and UCSF-trained board-certified dermatologist and a Littleton, Colorado native. She recently opened a beautiful, new practice, Cherry Hills Dermatology, and will serve as our in-house skin expert in a new column in The Villager.

The Villager: Welcome, Dr. Dawson, to The Villager. Tell us about your new practice.

Dr. Dawson: Thank you, Susan. I am thrilled to be contributing to The Villager and look forward to sharing some fun skin insights with your readers. At Cherry Hills Dermatology we provide medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology services to patients of all ages, including pediatric patients.

We are committed to providing current, evidence-based care that is personalized to each of our patients.

The Villager: So, you provide medical and cosmetic services?

Dr. Dawson: Yes, we offer comprehensive medical care from skin cancer screening to acne to rashes to chronic, complex conditions. We also provide a fullspectrum of physician-performed cosmetic services, including Botox, fillers, peels, microneedling, laser treatments, and platelet rich plasma (PRP) for hair rejuvenation.

The Villager: What inspired you to open your own practice?

Dr. Dawson: In an era where

training on the coasts and practiced in San Francisco for several years.

I always knew I wanted to return to Colorado to start a practice.

I recently had a baby and my husband and I decided it was time to move back.

Dr. Annelise Dawson medicine is increasingly corporatized, I wanted to create an intimate practice setting where patients are cared for directly by a board-certified dermatologist physician and are valued as individuals. My goal is to provide an ‘old-fashioned’ medical experience within a beautiful, modern facility offering state-of-the-art treatment and services. As a practice owner, I can curate the patient experience and quality of patient care in a way that I was not able to before.

The Villager: You recently moved to Denver from San Francisco.

What inspired your move?

Dr. Dawson: I grew up in Littleton, Colorado. I completed my medical

The Villager: Congratulations on your little one! Speaking of your training, tell us about your educational background.

Dr. Dawson: I completed my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences from Harvard University.

I then received my M.D. from University of Colorado School of Medicine. I returned to Harvard to complete my internship in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Finally, I was fortunate enough to complete my dermatology residency at the University of California San Francisco, where I served as Chief Resident.

The Villager: Impressive pedigree, yet you are so downto-earth. Is there anything else you want to share with our readers?

Dr. Dawson: I am looking forward to serving the Cherry Hills, Greenwood Village, Englewood, Denver, and surrounding communities and am excited to meet many of you. Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself and share some skin insights through this upcoming column!

the n ured List added five RB including two home runs over the weekend in Atlanta.

The downside as the team moves forward lies with pitching staff. Basically, the Rockies don’t have a full five man starting rotation. Kyle Freeland who is projected to be the numero uno of this group has already missed two starts due to a recurring blister on his throwing hand. He currently has pitched only 27.2 innings. Despite his problems he has maintained a WHIP of 1.19. German Marquez has a 3 win-1 loss record after working his way through 39.0 innings while recording a WHIP of 1.05. Jon Gray

has pitched 37 innings, but his occasionally inconsistent outings have led to a 2 win-3 loss record as his WHIP ballooned to 1.27.

Antonio Senzatela has pitched 18.1 innings collecting 2 wins and 1 loss.

His WHIP is high at 1.36 but he has shown the ability to pitch his way Fiout of trouble. Fi Andernally, Tyler Ander son has continued to struggle which has created a void in the rotation. Manager Bud Black is convinced that Anderson has the right stuff to be an ace. Black has also shown that his approach to developing young starters is a tough one. It goes something like this: “You’re here,” he

says, “because we believe in your potential. Here’s the deal. If you get into to trouble, I’m not going to pull you out. You’re going to have to pitch your way out of it. If you’re having control problems, you’re not going to cure them in the bullpen or by going back to Albuquerque. You’re going to cure them by finding the answers in a big league game every fifth day.” It will be fascinating to watch how these hurlers progress with this type of challenge.

This week the Rockies head to Milwaukee for a four-game series at Miller Park with the Brewers, the team that swept them in the playoffs last season. The memory of that series is said to have fueled the Rockies determination during the offseason and throughout spring training. Let’s see if that fuel can fire up some important wins.

Ms. Johnson, a licensed social worker at CeDAR, a UCHealth inpatient dual-diagnosis treatment facility, is the mother of Ella and Hattie, both juniors at SMA.

Harold D. Hein 1934 -2019 ally their great-grandchildren.

Small town boy who saw the world, dies at 84

Born Aug. 31, 1934, in Grainfield, Kansas to Matthew and Julia Hein, Harold Dean Hein was the youngest of six children and was given the nickname of “Tweety.” During his childhood, he played various sports, including basketball and baseball.

At the University of Kansas, Harold was the manager of the track team.

Most importantly, while attending KU, Harold met the love of his life, Martha Ivon Olson, and their love story lasted 63 years. They married in 1957 and raised their family of four children in Arvada.

After graduation, Harold earned his CPA license and started working for the firm of Arthur Young, becoming partner in 1969.

He also served as an MP in the Army Reserve, shortly after college. His profession allowed him to travel the world and he also enjoyed family vacations every summer. Many weekends and holidays were spent at their family cabin in Breckenridge. While on a cruise to Alaska in 2002, Harold sent an email saying that he had now visited all 50 states.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE

After leaving Arthur Young/Ernst and Young in 1990, Harold never retired but continued to help clients, family LEGALS and friends with their taxes and estate planning. The Rocky Mountain Lions Club Eye Institute was lucky to have Harold as their treasurer for 30 years. The words his family, friends and co-workers would use to describe Harold are respected, kind, generous, dedicated, reliable and quiet but they would also point out that he was always up for anything, from parasailing to beer pong.

Survivors include his wife Martha, four children, nine grandchildren and three great- grandchildren (soon to be five great-grandchildren.) Son Christopher, his wife Sue; their three children: Matthew, his wife Jillian and their baby due soon, Nicholas, his wife Courtney and their two sons Ryland and Jackson, Kristin, her husband Cesar, their son Julius and baby McKinley due soon.

Daughter Diane, her partner Jeffrey and her three daughters Kristi, Camille and Michaela. Daughter Jennifer, her husband Ben and their son Joshua. Daughter Andrea, her husband David and their sons Andrew and Brent Sister Sally Dinkel. Also surviving is a sister-in-law, Roberta “Birdie” Hein.

Jeers to NCIS: LA for taking so long to enlist JAG! You’d think the NCIS franchise, which was spun off from CBS’s late military-law drama back in 2003, would have gotten stars David James Elliott and Catherine Bell back in court sooner than this season’s finale.

Jeers to Schitt’s Creek Deniers. Honestly, after the Roses’ uplifting, uproarious season finale—complete with an engagement, community- theater Cabaret and a gorgeous showcase for Emily Hampshire’s Stevie— anyone who willingly ignores Pop’s perfect comedy doesn’t deserve its joy.
