GVPD Officer Rodney Valenzuela exemplifies the best in community policing BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
Community policing is the philosophical backbone of the Greenwood Village Police Department (GVPD). You can find it right on its home page on the city’s website. Rodney Valenzuela told The Villager that it means working to build and maintain positive relationships with businesses, schools, neighborhood groups, and all the people in them. How does he do it? “I try to be at every fire drill at the schools for which I am the SRO (school resource officer), but I absolutely never miss the first one of the school year at elementary school. Most young children haven’t previously experienced the flashing lights and sirens and they can get scared. I make sure I am right there to tell them everything is all right and they are safe. That is a way of developing trust in police officers at a young age.” “Making mistakes is part of growing up. If I get called to King Soopers because a middle school or high school student has shoplifted, the first thing I do is encourage parents to remain calm when they arrive. Then I give the student and parent plenty of time to ask every question they can think of when I issue the citation for the behavior because, when they are finished, I say, “Don’t let your mistakes define you and know that I will never discuss this ticket with you again.” He explained, “That is my way of letting them know I have every confidence they will learn from their mistake and move forward in a positive direction. I don’t want them to be afraid to talk to me in the future if they feel they need to because they are embarrassed about this incident.” Valenzuela loves to watch middle-schoolers grow and mature. He told us, “Sixth-graders love cops. By 7th grade they aren’t sure, and in 8th, it isn’t cool.” I have an account in the lunchroom at West Middle School (funded with his own money) that I use for kids when I see them not eating and I find out they let their account run out of money.” Valenzuela told us about a sixth grader he talked to ten years ago on a day when the boy was doing so poorly at school that he began talking about looking forward to the day he could drop out. Valenzuela said, “I will bet you $100 right here and now in front of your friends that six years from now, you will
Then I give the student and parent plenty of time to ask every question they can think of when I issue the citation for the behavior because, when they are finished, I say,“Don’t let your mistakes define you and know that I will never discuss this ticket with you again.” He explained, “That is my way of letting them know I have every confidence they will learn from their mistake and move forward in a positive direction.“ – School Resource Officer Rodney Valenzuela
be graduating from high school and getting ready to go to college.” He kept in contact with the student and on the day he graduated from Cherry Creek High School, Valenzuela proudly and publicly, with the child’s friends and family around, told him he was paying off his bet and gave him
the $100. He wasn’t sure if the young man remembered that day back in sixth grade, but it didn’t matter. Valenzuela told us, “One of the most important things I believe in, especially when it comes to dealing with young people, is to never promise and not deliver.” He attends neighborhood events like 4th of July celebrations and always brings candy for the children. He plays “a mean game of four-square” with middle-schoolers. He tells high schoolers that no matter what happens, they will be alright. His business card has his cell phone number on it and he answers it no matter what time or day. He told us about a time his phone rang at midnight and a 17-year-old male student was calling from a party where a female friend was throwing up in a bathroom from drinking alcohol. He was with her to make sure she was all right when he heard police come into the house. He asked Valenzuela what he should do. He told the boy to seek out the officers and calmly explain the situation. He might be in some trouble but coming forward and being completely honest was the best course of action. The boy took his advice and was extremely grateful. Valenzuela also finds time to gets to know business owners and operators in his city. That is another important part of community policing. He wants them to know there is
Upon overhearing that Michael Howanitz’ 18-year-old son had been part of a horrific accident and witnessed a fatality, Officer Valenzuela introduced himself and told Howanitz about complimentary victim assistance services provided by Greenwood Village.

always a police officer they can call directly if they have a question or a concern. When Officer Valenzuela came out to meet for our interview, he happened to overhear a conversation we were having with Michael Howanitz, who was talking about his 18-year-old son Christian having witnessed a traumatizing fatal accident. Valenzuela, who was not part of the team of police officers who investigated that accident, introduced himself and told Mr. Howanitz that Greenwood Village provided complimentary victim assistance services. He located a detailed brochure about the program and read it with Howanitz to make sure he knew exactly
These words, placed on the message board outside Cherry Creek’s West Middle School at Belleview and Holly on May 25 and 26, tell all the world that the students and faculty appreciate GVPD Officer Rodney Valenzuela “for all he does for us at West.”

how to get any help that his son might need as a result of his experience. Rodney Valenzuela started his law enforcement career at GVPD as a dispatcher in 2003 and graduated from the police training academy three years later. After three years as a patrol officer, Valenzuela got special training in community policing and was soon appointed by then Police Chief (now City Manager) John Jackson to the first community liaison position in the department. When the school resource officer position opened up, he took that on as well. GV was a smaller city then and the world was a less complicated place. Officer Rodney Valenzuela is very well-known and equally wellliked and respected by many, many residents of the city he serves and protects. Before we left, we felt like we had to ask him what he thought about the recent incident in Minneapolis where George Floyd died at the hands of police officers who already had him in custody. Valenzuela had posted a message on social media right after it happened that said, “Nobody hates a bad police officer more than good police officers. Nobody.” He told us that what happened in Minneapolis could have never happened in Greenwood Village. Said Valenzuela, “Even if it were somehow possible that an officer could have thought to initiate the behavior that we all witnessed, and that is extremely difficult to imagine, I can say with 100 percent certainty that any and all other officers who saw it would have put a stop to it immediately. There is no doubt about that.” Fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

Hickenlooper found to have created appearance of impropriety BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
On June 5, in a split vote, the Colorado Independent Ethics Commission (IEC) concluded that former Governor John Hickenlooper twice acted in contravention of Colorado constitutional amendment 41, passed by the voters in 2006, by accepting something of value from two for-profit corporations, once in March 2018 and once in June, 2018. There was no allegation that Hickenlooper accepted any type of bribe or provided any type of favor. Frank McNulty made over 90 allegations of misconduct in a 189-page complaint filed with the IEC on October 12, 2018. After the IEC evaluated the information in the complaint, it dismissed all but six out of hand. A detailed public hearing including testimony was held for the remaining six, after which the
IEC voted, mostly unanimously, to dismiss four of them. McNulty, an attorney and former Speaker of the Colorado House of Representatives, is a Republican. Hickenlooper is a Democrat who served as Denver’s mayor from 2003 to 2011 and Colorado governor from 2011 to 2019. He is currently seeking the nomination of his party to run against Republican U.S. Senator Cory Gardner on November 3. Then-Governor Hickenlooper was invited to attend and speak at the commissioning of the submarine USS Colorado in Groton, Connecticut on March 15, 2018. Instead of flying commercial at the expense of the state, he and other state officials accepted an offer from Larry Mizel to travel there with him and other executives in a private plane owned by Mizel’s company, MDC Holdings, a large homebuilder. Hickenlooper also attended a dinner and a recep-
tion sponsored by MDC while in Groton, returning to Colorado on a commercial flight. That flight and his other travel expenses were paid by the state because he was in Groton on official state business. In his testimony to the IEC, Hickenlooper said that Mizel was a longtime friend, thus he felt that the flight fell under the exception in Amendment 41 that states that acceptance of a gift from a personal friend on a special occasion is exempt from the ban on gifts to public officials. He added that there was no talk about the housing industry during the flight. No testimony was presented that any improper actions were contemplated or taken as a result of Hickenlooper’s flight on the MDCowned plane to Connecticut. The ethics commission, on a split vote, determined that the free one-way flight and meals violated Amendment 41 because it created the appear-
ance of impropriety. On June 6, 2018, Hickenlooper traveled to Turin, Italy to attend the Bilderberg Meeting, an annual event described as “a forum for informal discussions to foster dialogue between Europe and North America.” Its invitees are typically prime ministers, international corporation presidents, and many of the world’s power elite. In 2019, United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Jared Kushner, senior advisor to President Trump, attended the meeting. Hickenlooper’s participation in 2018 was not in his official capacity as governor hence he paid personally for his round-trip airline ticket and his $1,502.97 hotel bill upon checking out. Hospitality costs including catering, ground transportation, tours, security, and a gift basket with Italian toiletries and branded mints were provided for all attendees by meeting sponsor
Fiat Chrysler. No information is available or was provided to the IEC as to Hickenlooper’s share of the actual costs of those hospitality items as one of 129 meeting attendees. Hickenlooper told the IEC he believed the amount he paid the hotel included whatever his share of hospitality costs would have been. In discussions after all testimony was received, Bill Leone, IEC Vice-Chair expressed the opinion that Hickenlooper should have known that the $1,502.97 that he paid was not enough to have covered all the hospitality costs provided by Fiat Chrysler, thus creating an appearance of impropriety. When a determination that Amendment 41 has been violated is made, the IEC is empowered to levy a fine. It is scheduled to meet on June 12 to decide on the amount of the fine in this case.

Support law, order, and justice for all Race relations has become a delicate subject to discuss in print or vocally. The nation is filled with protesters with the death of George Floyd who became an unknowing martyr for racial and police protests. His violent death sparked a symbolic protest against racial injustice and a major national debate over law and order related to justice and inequality towards black people in America. All of this began when George purchased some cigarettes with a fake $20 bill and now an apologetic clerk regrets calling the police. George, who had a very troubled life, has become a major symbol of the simmering racial tensions that dates back to slavery. There have been many other black murders, but statistics reveal that 97 percent of the Afro-American deaths come from their own race and communities. About three percent of black deaths come from police enforcement across America. It was very distressing to see in St. Louis last Tuesday black looters shoot and kill a retired 77-year-old African/American
police captain who was in uniform trying to protect a Missouri pawn shop. David Dorn had spent half his life on the Missouri police force and was shot dead on the sidewalk. The shooting was recorded on a St. Louis Post-Dispatch social media platform. The clip made national news briefly showing the officer bleeding on the sidewalk with no one rushing to his aid, but someone taking a photo of his murder. A Facebook viewer observed Dorn dying with no one helping him, instead choosing to record his death. The video shows black looters rushing in to rob the store, some carrying guns. President Trump last Wednesday morning paid tribute to Captain David Dorn saying, “Our highest respect to the family of David Dorn, a great police captain from St. Louis, who was viciously shot and killed by despicable looters last night. We honor our police officers, perhaps more than ever before. Thank You! David Dorn has a large family with ten grandchildren. Since he was killed by his race it didn’t have the impact of the
George Floyd murder at the hands of the Minneapolis police officers. Candace Owens, a young black conservative spokesperson on an email posting relates that protesters have the wrong martyr in many protests including George Floyd who has been in prison on numerous occasions. She sends a very brave message that draws some attention to the hypocrisy of tolerance for blacks killing blacks, such as in Chicago every day, and police encounters with black offenders who have committed alleged crimes. Do police go too far, such as shoving the older 75-year old white protester to the sidewalk, cracking his head and just walking away leaving him in critical condition. He was just sitting on a bench and stood greeting the police. Bad behavior! I listened to the pundits Sunday morning and it appears that we’re heading to the fall elections with Trump espousing law and order and willing to use military forces to quell anarchy, if necessary, as done by prior presidents. Many of our major cities have businesses looted, our nation’s monuments defaced, St, John’s Church set
on fire, and a police station burned to the ground. It seems appropriate to support police and not destroy them. Taking protection from schools is the last thing that should happen! I saw the hateful signs by many protesters violently attempting to break through the secret service line to assault the White House. (The British burned the White House in 1812.) Some 45 agents were injured last week along with looting and violence. Even our own Supreme Court building in downtown Denver was set on fire. We need to recruit and train more black police officers, preferably military veterans who have defended this country on foreign shores. We need to protect this nation against all foreign and “DOMESTIC” foes. There are many issues, but anarchy, murder, and looting on the streets of America must be stopped by the police, National Guard, and if necessary, regular military forces. This ensures rightful protesters their day in the sun, or rain, and have their protests against injustice and police brutality seen and heard. America is listening! I’m voting for law and order and justice for all.

Our family dog Cleo passed away about one year ago and I still miss my little dog that my son Patrick shared with me for several years. The best was the bark of welcome and the tail wagging when coming home from a busy day. Dogs just have a loving personality and know when not to speak, just a bark for food or time for a walk. I notice that we have an ad in The Villager from the Heffelbower family in Highland’s ranch advertising a new service called “The Last Paw” for pet funerals and cremation services. A badly needed service, so write the phone number down if your dog is aging. 303-905-4630. *** The Villager has long supported many service and non-profit organizations. One of the groups we have enjoyed covering and attending their events is the Colorado Consular Corp that has representatives from dozens of foreign countries that include official consulates, for example from Canada and Mexico, two of our major Colorado trading partners. We have many local folks with deep roots in foreign countries as most of us came from immigrants. Don Ringsby was a member of the Consular Corp since 1960 representing Thailand. His
friends have written a tribute to him in this week’s Villager. Our Villager “About “Law” columnist lawyer Don Peterson is the new Dean of the entire Consular Corp. He represents Sweden and his family were pioneer Denver newspaper printers with the presses now buried under the Convention Center. See his story in The Villager. Don is a proud DU graduate and a really good writer and lawyer. *** I had lunch with Don last week and it was such a joy to have a French dip sandwich with fries at Poppies on South Colorado Blvd. What a wonderful restaurant as they reopen with booth spacing and building an outdoor patio for summer spacious dining. Time to get back to supporting our local restaurants. All businesses, for that matter. Don’t go if you are fearful, but for many it is time to return to normal. I can’t believe that the Governor won’t let the Cherry Creek Mall open until July 1. Park Meadows is now open because they are in Douglas County. I think if protestors can gather in Denver, so can shoppers. *** A new Farmer’s Market is arriving at Belleview Station
just two blocks west of I-25 on Belleview located near the new Newmont mining headquarters and where a new major hotel is under construction. Many new businesses are located in the Station area. Starting June 14 until September 27 a “People and Produce” Farmer’s Market will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The many Belleview Station shops and restaurants will be on hand along with produce vendors and curbside orders. Sadly, the Palisade peach crop suffered a 90 percent frost so this year’s fruit will be in shorter supply, but farmers will be hustling with the fresh early fruits; I love those June cherries. *** We have produced a keepsake Villager photo spread for Cherry Creek graduates as they “rolled” out of high school onward to higher education, military service and the job markets. A tough time for students and athletes as the summer and fall events are on hold in many places. It appears that the economy is rebounding rapidly and there is some light at the end of the tunnel. *** A California friend sent me the following piece that I believe came out of Canada to the West Coast and is on the internet. No author named but some good humor
and common sense. Need more of both right now:

Honoring the dead
on this Memorial Day. The divisiveness and politicization that has emerged over this great loss of these family members can only add to pain that these families are suffering through. Americans are a compassionate people that at times of crisis have historically rallied together when faced threat to our very democracy as the graves of those buried at Fort Logan graphically demonstrate. Why can’t we do the same to defeat this insidious coronavirus and not turn this crisis into a political blame game. In spite of political difference on many other issues, democrats
and republicans should be able to focus on attacking this virus together, which will then allow all of us to begin working on the restoration of this country’s efforts to rebuild our economy. As an example, last Friday Republican El Paso County Commission Stan VanderWerf and I volunteered to fly over 500 pounds of person protective equipment (PPE) from Centennial Airport to Grand Junction for distribution to two local hospitals. This is a great example of democrat and republican commissioners working together during this health crisis. While the two of us may disagree on some political issues, we can
work together to ensure that medical personnel are able to protect themselves in treating COVID 19 patients. We all must approach this crisis by honoring these victims who have died during this medical crisis by working to stop the spread on this virus by wearing protective masks, respecting social distancing and making every effort to avoid large crowds to limit the potential of coming in contact with the virus. Let’s all work together to stem the spread of this virus. We are the only anecdote to stopping this virus that is currently available.

#1 DENVER BOARD OF REALTORS 12 YEARS STRAIGHT #44 OF 1,350,000 AGENTS IN THE USA (THE WALL STREET JOURNAL)
people in my suburban neighborhood who stood with me when most needed, I may not be here today. Were it not for holding the nuclear keys, the Berlin wall would remain. Were it not for a few good White senior military leaders who understood my dilemma as a Military Police Chief, my career would have ended prematurely. Were it not for taking swift action to rescue Americans from their rooftops, many would have surely perished. Were it not for the many good people in civil service leadership, I would have little outlet to express how I feel. Were it not for the recognition of leading the Air Force Reserve’s #1 diversity office, our entire base would have been rated less than Satisfactory by the Inspector General’s office. Were it not for a mother who is also a pastor, I may not have learned to truly distinguish right from wrong. Were it not for a grandmother teaching Black people how to pass poll tests so they could legally vote, I would not understand the concept of total sacrifice to a cause larger than myself. Were it not for a country providing a pathway to success, I would not be the proud American I am today. And So, I Have Something to Say… Since George Floyd’s murder, I have been asked many things. I have been asked why it happened. I have been asked how I feel. Others have asked how they can best help. I love and appreciate these questions and requests, for not so very long ago most would have been afraid to ask, and more afraid to get involved. Why? I don’t know why this murder happened, but back to my first point, I know it had to happen. This murder had to happen, however horrific, to create a
seminal moment exposing generations of perpetual and systemic wrongs cast upon our Black community, wrongs also perpetuated upon other brothers and sisters of color. This murder is the Bull Conner moment of having police release attack dogs and turning fire hoses on Black people he governed in Alabama during the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s…people marching in peaceful protest, including marching in protest of the KKK bombing deaths of four young innocent Black girls in a Birmingham church. So, we finally have the attention of the nation, and the attention of the world…and this is the price we’ve had to pay for it…thus far…so let’s remember Abraham Lincoln’s remarks in the first Lincoln-Douglas debate, August 21, 1858, “With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently, he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions.” How I Feel… I cry silently from time to time. I continue to cry for the families of the slain. I will continue the battle of my ancestors. How Can You Best Help? Listen, engage and believe Black Americans and Black America. We, as Black Americans, are individuals. Black America is the world in which we live. You cannot help one without helping the other. “America must listen to its wounds. It will tell us where to look for hope.” Reverend William Barber Listen with empathy, not sympathy. Listen with intent to understand. Be mindful that our words may not roll off our tongues in a way you are accustomed to. Engage now; perfection is not the goal, movement is. Believe what we have to say, especially believe Black men when traditional White society is tempted to believe otherwise.
Create safe havens. Understand this is a unique time in history to make demands for permanent change. Please know that your silence is complicit. Fight for full economic equality for all Americans. The playing field is not level. Help to level it. Fight for equal opportunity, and don’t confuse this with equal outcomes. Remember, according to Nelson Mandela, “It’s the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle.” Reform our police departments. Believe Black Americans when we say systemic policing problems exist. Having been one, police chiefs know specifically who and where their problems lie. Remove chiefs not committed to change. Commit to removing them now. Support and fully empower those who do. There’s much, much more, but I trust you get the picture. So, In Conclusion… I think of my time in South Africa as an Air War College student in 2002. The thesis of my research project centered on the post-Apartheid decade since 1992. I sat next to a White South African businessman on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town and asked his thoughts on their reforms. I shared my amazement with how far their nation had come in such a short time. He said they had to come together, or they would not have a nation. I asked him how. He said, “Truth and Reconciliation.” Google it. After 400+ years of pain, America still lacks Truth and Reconciliation. It is time we have it now. “I had come to see early that the Christian doctrine of love operating through the Gandhian method of nonviolence was one of the most potent weapons available to an oppressed people in their struggle for freedom.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1958 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ denniswgreene Submit your letters online at: www.villagerpublishing.com or email to: editorial@villagerpublishing.com 303-773-8313

Disturbed by Meyers
“I was quite disturbed in reading Robert Wallace Meyer’s “You want a riot! I’ll give you something to riot about! Mr. Meyer starts his column stating “Must we torch and loot a couple of great American cities each time a black person is killed by police, or even by another citizen in self-defense?”. Obviously, the answer is no, but posing the question is disingenuous and implies that the statements have truth. They do not. We do not torch and loot a couple of great American cities each time a black person is killed by police. The statement just inflames passions and promotes hate towards the other. There are presently major demonstrations which are predominantly peaceful and respectful. No doubt there are your young white and black vandals and provocateurs that are performing despicable acts, but they are very much in the minority and seem to only come out at night. The media will, because it sells, report and show violence as opposed to the almost totally peaceful protests. Black organizers have made efforts and continued strong statements opposing any violence or looting. The demonstrations are due to an indefensible
and senseless killing of a black man by police. Have you seen the video? Watch it. There is also the implication that if a black person is killed in self-defense, there are riots. What is Mr. Meyer’s proof of such? Mr. Meyer seems to desire to inflame passions and paranoia. He further states there should be a sober, measured evaluation of our laws rather than a lust for vengeance. Again Mr. Meyer attempts to inflame. Why are the protests considered a lust for vengeance as opposed to a desire for justice? It should be pointed out that there were no arrests of any of the police officers until after the protests commenced. Mr. Meyer does not seem to understand the institutionalized racism in our law enforcement system. This is not a partisan issue. There is a plethora of Republicans who support a change in the system, including former high-ranking military, who I dare say favor America. The last paragraph of his article states “We should favor candidates who favor America--You get the idea”. Unfortunately, I do.” Mark Lewis Englewood
Fatal accident clean-up interrupted by DUI arrest BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
On June 3 at 6:07 p.m., Greenwood Village police (GVPD) received numerous 9-1-1 calls about a multi-vehicle accident on northbound I-25 just past the Arapahoe Road exit. Seven vehicles were involved including two motorcycles. One of the motorcyclists was declared deceased at the scene and the other one passed away in the hospital the following day. GVPD is still completing its investigation of the accident and has not released any further information. I-25 northbound was closed from Dry Creek Road to Orchard Road for several hours to allow GVPD officers to process the seven-vehicle fatal crash. While they were doing so, at approximately 8:30 p.m., they noticed a dark-colored Chevrolet driving directly toward the accident scene. Multiple police vehicles with red and blue lights flashing were all around. It is unknown how the driver was able to access the interstate since it was fully closed. When officers contacted the male driver of the Chevrolet, he identified himself as a police officer with the Denver Police Department. GVPD officers recognized signs of intoxication and began the process of a DUI investigation. They soon discovered that the driver was in possession of a hand gun while intoxicated and open containers of alcohol were inside the car, which turned out to be an unmarked Denver Police vehicle. After completing their investigation, GVPD arrested Denver Police Sergeant Bryce Robert Jackson on charges of Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol, Prohibited Use of Weapons,

Careless Driving, and Open Alcoholic Container in a Motor Vehicle. Jackson was booked into the Arapahoe County Detention Center and GVPD resumed their investigation of the fatal accident. Michael Howanitz’s 18year old son Christian was driving one of the vehicles involved in the accident. Christian, who recently graduated from high school in Boulder and is going to play junior hockey, did not sustain any physical injuries but he “saw things an 18-year-old should not have to see,” his father told us (the motorcyclist who did not survive the impact). Howanitz explained that the accident occurred when a vehicle became disabled in the left lane on I-25 and the first two cars that came up behind it were able to stop, including the one Christian Howanitz was driving, but the third car was not able to stop, resulting in the high-speed crash and pile-up of five cars and two motorcycles. What Howanitz most wanted to share with The Villager was that “the level of professionalism, caring, kindness, and dignity for injured people and others that was shown by the Greenwood Village police officers was exemplary. I could not be more appreciative.” He was particularly complimentary of GVPD Officer Cristy Floerchinger, who was a lead officer at the accident scene. This father was especially grateful that police officers, despite dealing with a chaotic situation, were calm and thoughtful enough to immediately get someone to take his son away from the horrific site of the accident and stay with him.

Tom Trent and his staff at Adame Travel have over 75 years of combined experience helping their clients plan great vacations. They understand that people want to do something that will be fun and also safe. The Villager reached out to him to get answers to the questions people might have as they consider their options. We asked, “Why use a travel agent when it’s easy to book online yourself?” Trent responded, “Why not? It doesn’t cost you anything and we are available 24/7 to help our clients. Look at what just happened. In today’s world, anything is possible. We had clients on an 18-day cruise to South America when the pandemic hit. It took ten days to get them home. We talked to that client multiple times per day. We coordinated with Celebrity to make sure they could get refills of their prescriptions. Celebrity was helpful but we were there to assist our client every step of the way with their individual needs.” Trent added, “We provide a lot of amenities. Our agency is part of Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Representative, which was established over 25 years ago and allows us to add amenities that aren’t otherwise available, including using American Express points. We are one of the relative few that believes in brick and mortar We have great online technology but we also have offices people can walk into and sit down. Our local office is at 8400 E. Prentice Avenue in Greenwood Village and we are open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays and until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday. Of course, our phones are answered 24 hours a day and we have a mobile app and a website with a chat feature.” We asked Trent about travel insurance. He said, “Insurance is something that I’ve always believed in very strongly. It covers medical expenses if a traveler becomes ill with COVID-19 while on their trip. Trip cancellation and interruption benefits are also included due to the traveler becoming ill with COVID-19 either before or during their trip. Cancel at any time coverage used to be good enough to get 80% back but may not if it’s COVID related. All the insurance companies are still trying to work out how to handle issues around this virus. It is im-
portant to have a travel agent who can get answers to those sorts of questions for you.” Where to go? For maximum safety, many who are traveling this year are heading to destinations in the United States. “We’re seeing some segments of the U.S. market that are very strong. There is renewed interest in travel to Canada for hiking and national park travel. We also have a few tour providers who put together unique, personalized trips to places on the east coast like colonial America, Washington D.C. and throughout New England. People are even taking another look at train travel with bedroom compartments.” he told us. “Las Vegas hotels and casinos have begun to open up. They have robust policies to ensure social distancing and cleanliness.” Trent explained, “Like everyone else, we had many cancellations during the past few months, but we are seeing very strong bookings. Everyone in the travel industry, especially cruise lines, recognize that travelers need to feel safe or they are not going to come back.” Specific steps cruise lines are taking include strongly encouraging online check-in to minimize touch points at the cruise terminal, where medical staff will be in the building to evaluate anyone who shows a temperature of over 100.4 after checking it twice. For those who pass basic health screening, the abbreviated check-in process will be done with masks and social distancing. On board, buffet restaurants will no longer be self-service. Ship culinary staff will dish out all food and seating in the restaurants, as well as in activity areas, will include social distancing. Special air filtration systems are being added to ships to absorb airborne particles that could transmit virus. Health screenings will be conducted for guests upon returning to the ships from ports of call.” Mexican resorts are also starting to reopen, Trent told us. He explained, “Cancun largely escaped the COVID-19 pandemic. As they reopen, resorts are installing lots of plexiglass for added safety. If we don’t know exactly what is going on with a particular port or resort, we will find out and tell our clients before they book. Major properties in Mexico and Caribbean give people a greater sense of comfort.” Fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

he flowers that were so abundant at the former Country Fair Garden Center location in Southeast Denver have just moved a few miles north near Quebec and Leetsdale. We have missed that popular center and glad to see the nursery and garden store is flourishing for its fourth season in the new location. Many customers who lost touch will be delighted to see the quality and variety of offerings is still abundant. In a sit down with busy Candi Gerace who represents the third of the four-generation family business, Flair enjoyed a fun session of answers to the most frequently questions to which she added common sense and humor. Villager – Is the business
open? CFG – Yes! 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday – Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Villager – When is the time to plant? CFG – I don’t have a crystal ball, but average frost date is mid May. Villager – What is the trend this year? CFG – Seeds! Veggies! Herbs! They are flying out the door. With being at home, it’s the victory garden. Villager –Can I bring in a stressed, unhappy plant? CFG – Yes, in a plastic bag. We do diagnostics. Villager – How do I know if a plant likes sun or shade? CFG – By the specific plant. In our store, the plants are arranged indicating sun or shade.
Villager – What is the difference between annuals and perennials? CFG – Annuals last for one season. Perennials come back year after year with proper care. What sets local and nationally recognized Country Fair apart is its customer service. “It’s that plain and simple,” said Candi. “We try to give everyone the tools to be successful.” In addition to plants, the store has a huge selection of products including pots, matching saucers, gifts, accents, fertilizers and insecticides while replenishing the supply once per week. The famous Hardy Boy logo is theirs and trademarked. They supply almost every other garden center in the area and even ship to other states. Plan a visit in time for a thoughtful Father’s Day gift or…enjoy getting reacquainted.

Refined consign in the business name is just that. The vast showroom of consigned furniture is so carefully curated and cared for that it’s refined and one can hardly tell it’s not new. In many cases there is an interesting history of the piece and an equally fascinating story of where it’s going with the new owner. In addition, there is art and new merchandise to accessorize the home or office and the expertise of established interior designer Brenda Thompson who has had a loyal following for decades (Thompson Design & Associates). Brenda’s husband Tom Thompson has decades of experience in several facets of the furniture business in multiple cities. What a powerful ownership combo!

Creek holds drive - through parade for seniors — Grad ceremony planned for July 30 but so far, no audience allowed BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
It didn’t matter that the sun was beating down mercilessly on the hot pavement
“We still plan to hold an in-person ceremony at the Stutler Bowl on July 30th. It will be at 8:00 am to avoid hot weather. At this time, the conditions approved by health officials do not allow for an audience.” – CCHS Principal Ryan Silva at 11:00 a.m. on June 4 when the parade was scheduled to begin. Teachers, counselors, administrators, and dozens of staff members came decked out in everything from oversized aluminum-foil hair bows to tutus in Cherry Creek High School (CCHS) colors. They were all there to show their love and support for the graduates who missed their last quarter of high school and the gradu-
ation ceremony with family and friends that should have followed. CCHS Principal Ryan Silva told us how the idea came about. “We talked about the parade idea collectively as high school principals in the Cherry Creek School District. All of us have worked hard to celebrate and honor our seniors during this challenging time. The parade seemed like another way to let this group of seniors know we care about them and we are proud of them,” he said. Silva gave all the credit to Krista Keogh, CCHS activities director, saying “She made all of the magic happen by planning a great day.” Silva added, “We still plan to hold an in-person ceremony at the Stutler Bowl on July 30th. It will be at 8:00 am to avoid hot weather. At this time, the conditions approved by health officials do not allow for an audience.” Keogh said, “When we realized that there might not be a graduation ceremony, we tried to get creative about ways in which we could still give the kids their diplomas in a celebratory way. We saw kids in the community having birthday party “drive-by parades” and the idea for a parade with the high school kids was born. Even though we are all having ceremonies at the end of the summer, the kids already have their diplomas in hand and have technically “graduated” from Cherry Creek.” We asked Abby Malloy, who was CCHS student body president this past year and is headed to Texas Christian University (TCU) to study business, Spanish, and leadership how she felt about the parade and the events of the past few months. Abby said, “The senior parade at CCHS was so special and sweet. Parents, teachers, and faculty came together to make the seniors feel so celebrated and loved during this unprecedented time. The last few months were challenging to finish off our 13 years of educa-
tion on a computer screen. Not only was it difficult to put in the work, but more so, it was sad to see our high school careers end this way. Despite the chaos, the community came together in a way that I’ve never seen before to make the 2020 graduates feel known, loved, and celebrated. Personally, I’m most looking forward to the return to normalcy in my future academic endeavors at TCU. Through this time, I have learned the true value of my education and the privilege it is to spend time with my best friends. The end of my senior year was far from ideal, but I’m so thankful for my friends and family who made this time so sweet.” Will Holst, headed to University of Texas-Austin as a pre-med major, described

Update on fall planning for Cherry Creek Schools BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
In a June 5 release of information by the Cherry Creek School District (CCSD) about plans for the upcoming school year, planned to begin on August 17, it was announced that:
Full-time Online Learning
Full-time online learning is available for all students who want to use that option. Cherry Creek Elevation is already in place and available for grades six through 12 (it was only offered for high school last school year). A new online elementary school program is now read and available for kindergarten through fifth grade for any family who chooses to use it.
Elementary School (Grades K-5)
CCSD is preparing a plan for elementary school to maximize the number of students who may attend on a daily basis. The already small class size (generally limited to 23 for the lower grades) and the fact that students don’t change classrooms as frequently as do those in middle and high school allows CCSD to approach elementary planning differently.
the past few months as “one of the oddest experiences I’ve ever been a part of. As a Cherry Creek senior, I had been anticipating quite a few things this spring such as graduation, prom, a senior trip, and many more activities that were eventually cancelled. Many of those things were replaced with online classes, constant fear about contracting a virus, and the inability to connect with longtime peers face to face.” To stay positive, he told us he used the time to “spend quality time with an older brother that I would normally only see for 1-2 weeks a year.” It also gave him “the unique opportunity to pursue new activities. To name a few, I started an investment account to learn more about the
Middle and High School (Grades 6-12)
If the state board of education and public health requirements allow in-person learning with physical distancing, students can choose this model in which students go to school for in-person learning two days a week, and have three days a week of at-home asynchronous (no live teacher) learning. Schools will be ready to shift to full-time in person learning whenever the state and public health authorities give the goahead. Alternatively, they may have to shift to full remote learning should they be directed to do so by the state or health authorities. CCSD noted that it is aware of statements Governor Polis has made regarding returning to school (he said he hopes that schools will be able to operate as they always have by the fall), however they have not received any official communication from the state board of education or local health authorities directing them to do so. This continues to be a fluid situation. The latest available information can always be found on cherrycreekschools.org/ planningforward. Fmiklin.villager@gmail. com
stock market and its trends, began a masterclass in creating a great LinkedIn profile, and established a weekly golf match with three of my close friends. Staying positive was a bit tough at times but having these activities established a schedule that allowed me to feel a bit more normal.” Looking ahead, Will told us, “For me, what comes next will be four years at the University of Texas at Austin. I am beyond excited for the opportunity to study biology at a major research institution in hopes of one day applying to medical school. The autonomy that comes with the college experience is something that I look forward to immensely.” Fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

Dr. Palmieri, fourth from right, Don Ringsby, to her left, of Colorado Consular Corps participating in official meeting with Mayor Hancock, center.
In Memoriam, Don Ringsby BY DEB A. PALMIERI PRINCIPAL, THE PALI GROUP, LLC
I got to know Don as his colleague in the Colorado Consular Corps, the official organization for diplomats in the State of Colorado. Don was appointed as Honorary Consul General of Thailand in 1980 and held the post until his death on May 15, 2020. He was 80 when he died. Don was a prominent force in our organization, and had boundless energy and devotion to the cause of diplomacy. He served as Treasurer of our organization for 16 years, and served on many committees. He and Karen graciously offered up their beautiful Denver Country Club home to host our annual diplomats Christmas party two years ago, and Don personally took charge of every detail from catering to valet parking to make sure he gave up his best for his friends and colleagues. That tells you something about Don: brilliant businessman, astute thinker, great attention to detail and budget, always on the mark, always on time and always a fun person to work with. Don was popular among his colleagues. Sir Don Peterson, newly elected and incoming Dean of the Colorado Consular Corp and Honorary Consul of Sweden, had this to say: “Fellow members
of the Colorado Consular Corps of Colorado will always have fond memories of Don Ringsby, who was not only an outstanding philanthropic business leader, but also an esteemed colleague, as the Honorary Consul of Thailand for 40 years. His friendly demeanor and gracious hosting of many Consular Corps’ events, together with his lovely wife, Karen, made for a genuine camaraderie among our diplomatic members and community guests.” Another colleague, Honorary Consul Emeritus of Nicaragua, Dr. Bronwyn Bateman and world renowned ophthalmologist said this: “Don Ringsby was a dynamic and charming man. I have fond memories getting together with him and Karen in Aspen where he had a long history in the aviation industry. He was a real American - he could take risks and enjoy life. I will miss him.” I have many fond memories of Don. The thing I will remember most is his devotion to his beautiful wife Karen, You never saw Don without Karen. Always together, always devoted to each other. Devoted likewise to his children and grandchildren, the consummate family man. There are many complex sides to Don. He always wanted to help people help themselves. He advanced this
cause generously. One example is that he owned a building on Colfax that he rented at a very reasonable rate to an immigrant Asian family. He ended up selling it to them below market, and financing it for them. He was so impressed with their work ethic, and how hard they worked and sacrificed, this was his way of promoting small business in Denver and America. He always wanted to see the little guy get ahead. Once he helped the cause of a local artist running for a local Denver office. He thought it was important to see someone from the local arts community get a foothold in local government. I will always remember the big bash Don and Karen held at their home to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. Completely packed with people in his back yard, it was Mexican themed with a lively Mariachi Band and Mexican food. They danced to the famous song, and their favorite, “Besame”. (Kiss Me in Spanish). They were one of the most devoted couples I have known. There is the official biography of Don that is well known. He assumed presidency of the family business Ringsby Truck Lines in 1977 and served as Chairman and CEO from 1981 until the company was sold in 1986. The Ringsby family purchased Aspen Airways in 1963 and Don was President and Chairman of the Board of
Aspen Airways, Inc from 1981 to 1990 when he sold the business. From 1981 to 2007, he served as Chairman, CEO and President of Ringsby Terminals. The street, Ringsby Court, in River North Art District just south of the juncture of -I25 and I-70 is named after the Ringsby family. His dad Bill was one of the early owners of the efforts to bring professional basketball to Denver, and that’s how the family gained a majority ownership stake in the Denver Rockets. The Rockets were named after the slogan of the Ringsby Trucking company. And the uniforms took on the orange and black colors of the Ringsby Rockets trucking service. Don served on many boards of business and charitable causes, including Young Presidents Organization, the Rocky Mountain Chapter of YPO, Columbus Energy Co, Colorado Uplift and the Investment Committee of the University of Colorado Foundation. He belonged to many clubs, such as the Wigwam Club near Deckers, the Big Horn Club in Montana, the Denver Country Club, Savannah Golf Club and Savannah Harbor Club. Don loved hunting and fishing, and was good at it. Once I was sorting through my father’s memorabilia. Something told me to look through the Lamar newspaper I was getting ready to toss. It’s a
good thing I did. My eye caught the photo of Don and my Dad in the early 1970s on the winning team of the Two Shot Goose Hunt held annually in Lamar. What an amazing coincidence - both avid hunters and loved the hunting competitions. I sent the picture to Don and he got a real kick out of it. Don was born June 3, 1939 and attended South Denver High School. He was awarded his undergraduate degree at the University of Boulder in Colorado (my alma mater for my BA), where he met his beloved wife Karen. In his later years, he divided his time between Denver, Savannah and Aspen. I will remember Don for his good energy, his business and civic brilliance, his devotion to Karen and family, his firm belief in America and the American way, and his hard work and “can-do” ethic, and his willingness to help his community, his sense of humor and ability to have fun and enjoy life. He was and will remain an exemplary role model for how to live a good life. I will miss Don greatly. Dr. Deb Palmieri is Honorary Consul of Russia since 2007 and Dean Emeritus of the Colorado Consular Corps. She served alongside of Don for 13 years in the Colorado Consular Corps where they were both members. She has lived mostly in Colorado since 1959.

“I will have my estate plan documents prepared when I get around to it.” This is what I occasionally hear from clients who are considering the best time to make or update their Will or a Trust. Many people procrastinate in having their estate plan documents prepared, saying that they will get around to it in the future, but never take action. Unfortunately, such inactivity can have significant adverse consequences. It is critical to estate planning to prepare appropriate documents to ensure that your assets are distributed upon your death, in accordance with your wishes. Estate planning allows you to name people to act on your behalf in financial and medical situations when you are unable to do so and allows you to name a conservator for yourself or a minor or disabled child. There are several options available when planning for your life care as well as how to pass assets under your estate. Life care planning will avoid problems which may arise if you have an illness, automobile accident or other trauma, including care and treatment regarding issues related to COVID-19, which necessitates the need for others to act on your behalf (such as designated agents under Power of Attorney documents, or under a Guardianship and Conservatorship). To plan the distribution of your assets, you must decide what to give away, when to give it, who will receive it and when they will receive it. This includes assets held in joint tenancy with a spouse or others. In the example of an automobile accident, or other simultaneous trauma, if both spouses/joint tenants die together, the asset held in joint tenancy will be distributed as part of the owners’ respective estates, where a Will or Trust will be beneficial in insuring that such assets are distributed in accordance
with the owners’ wishes. Such documents may also help to either avoid probate, or to allow probate to proceed on an informal, rather than a formal basis, which results in a significant savings of fees and costs. After preparing estate plan documents, my clients typically report that they have not only a peace of mind, but are rewarded with a sense of relief and certainty that their wishes will be carried out, both for their lifetime care as well as upon their death. If you have the foresight to prepare an estate plan, you will have peace of mind regarding the documents needed to protect yourself and your family during your lifetime and after passing. I can assist in preparing customized documents which take advantage of the current, best portions of Colorado law, to accomplish your goals.
What are the four key medical/ estate plan documents you need now?
Many of my clients have asked what are the critical documents needed, particularly in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Simply being married does not give you the legal right to gain access to your spouse’s medical records or make medical decisions on your spouse’s behalf, even in an emergency. To avoid this problem and to help others care for you and to achieve your overall estate planning goals, the following documents create an effective medical/estate plan package: 1. Healthcare Power of Attorney; 2. General Financial Power of Attorney; 3. Advanced Directive for Medical/Surgical Treatment (“Living Will”); and 4. Will (or a Will with a Trust). Careful medical/estate planning should include preparation and signing of these documents, to accomplish your goals and protect you, both during your lifetime, and at the time of passing. The Power of Attorney documents allow you to designate those agents whom you authorize to help you on your behalf during your lifetime, and the Will/Trust documents allow you to nominate others to help with your estate after your passing, as well as to identify the beneficiaries and the distributions to them, to accomplish your estate planning goals. As a courtesy, there is no charge for my initial consultation with clients. I have served seniors and their families for over 43 years regarding their medical and estate planning needs.

I am really angry at Ed McVaney BY JON CALDARA INDEPENDENCE INSTITUTE
I found out over the weekend that a good friend of Independence Institute, and a friend of mine, Ed McVaney had passed away. And just like his style in most everything during his life, he was quiet about the illness that took him. And because of that, I didn’t know he was going to leave us. I couldn’t say thank you for all he did for Independence, and for me. And he probably wouldn’t want me to thank him anyway. He preferred to do things that way, the quiet way. That is so damn Ed. Ed lived the American Dream and then used his wealth to protect the American Dream. When I hear that a poor person can’t get ahead in America, I immediately think of people like Ed, who was raised in poverty. Through hard work and the economic opportunities that this country still offers, he used his mind to help create the software firm JD Edwards in 1977. This made him a wealthy man, an evil one-percenter. Although he prided himself on his quiet nature, his deeds were anything but quiet. He had two great passions beyond his family, Jesus Christ and the Founders’ vision of America. And other than
a few ridiculous cars, (nothing like watching him park his Hummer at a restaurant full of social-justice progressives) he used his wealth to build people’s understanding of Christ and of Liberty, always doing so quietly. I won’t embarrass him by listing what he did with his evil one-percent wealth, what he gave away, except to say that countless children have and are receiving educations their families could have never afforded. Churches are serving families they never could have served. And people in Colorado, in fact around the world, are learning about why we should remain free to risk our own time and resources to pursue our dreams, so that we too might taste success and pass it on. He has touched more lives than he could ever know. So many people’s lives are better because of his giving, and they will never know it came from him, this quiet Christian. For me personally I am grateful for the deep and often painful fights I had with Ed in the wake of losing my daughter to cancer some 19 years ago. Ed, always comforted by God’s love and me, well, not so comforted by it, went at it over why my little girl had to die. Without ever preaching, Ed
comforted me and listened to my anguish. Why would a man of Ed’s stature and wealth care about what I was going through, and on a such personal level? Because, I think, he was fearless in looking at the universe and saw me as an equal man. Damn one-percenter. Ed, I’m angry at you for not letting me thank you properly for all you did and for the friendship we have. I’m angry at you for not allowing me to apologize to you for anything I might have said during those great philosophical battles we had. And I’m angry at you for dying at this time in history when people of your clarity and passion for Freedom are needed more than ever. We are in a pitched battle for that America you love, the America where a poor kid from Nebraska can achieve what you did. Perhaps I am most angry because you were my brother-in-arms. Who will show up on the front lines to defend the Founders’ vision? Who will step up and take Ed’s place fighting for a Colorado where we are free to make our own decisions? Will it be you? And Ed, thanks for the many beers we had over the years. Think Freedom, Jon

On April 1 (no fooling) after HB20-1158 passed both houses of the state legislature with bipartisan support as the coronavirus pandemic was winding up, Governor Jared Polis signed this new law into effect that requires that “ fertility treatments be treated on equal footing with other services by insurance carriers by requiring that co-pays and deductibles and prior authorization be comparable” to other covered medical treatments because, he said, “Infertility is clearly and demonstrably a source of significant expense, as well as depression and great sadness for many Coloradans.” The most common treatment for infertility is in vitro fertilization. For those whose health insurance does not cover it, the out-of-pocket cost is usually at least $20,000. Taking into account the coronavirus crisis and the potential negative impact of this new required coverage to the cost of health insurance, Polis said in his
signing statement, “I will not sign any other insurance mandate bills passed by the General Assembly during the 2020 session except where there is an urgent need for additional benefits related to COVID-19.” The new requirement, which takes effect for health benefit plans issued or renewed in Colorado on or after January 1, 2022, covers the diagnosis and treatment of infertility and fertility preservation services. It prohibits the imposition of any limits for fertility medications that are not applicable to coverage for other prescription medicines. It also prohibits the imposition of deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, benefit maximums, waiting periods, or other limitations that are not applicable to other medical services covered under a regular health insurance plan. Religious employers are allowed to request an exclusion from offering “infertility coverage in a health benefit plan offered by the religious employer if the coverage conflicts with the religious organization’s bona fide religious
beliefs and practices.” There is also a provision that Polis asked to have added to the new law to protect the state’s general fund in the event that the state is forced to pick up any increased costs because fertility treatment is deemed to be a new mandate under the Affordable Care Act. If that occurs, “the provisions of the bill impacting the small group and individual market will not take effect.” According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, sixteen other states, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and West Virginia, require some level of infertility coverage be provided to or offered to customers. All Democratic legislators who were present for the final vote in both houses of the general assembly voted for the bill. Also voting in favor were Republicans Mark Baisley (HD39), Don Coram (SD6), Larry Crowder (SD35), Lois Landgraf (HD21), Kevin VanWinkle (HD43), and Perry Will (HD57). Fmiklin.villager@gmail.com
A look at COVID-19 outbreaks in Arapahoe County as business opens up BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER
New reported cases of COVID-19 have been decreasing steadily in Colorado since they hit a high of 970 on April 23. The three-day moving average of new cases reported for the first five days of June is the lowest it has been since March 28. There were seven COVID-19 deaths statewide on May 31, but only six in the first three days of June combined. The trend of the impact of the virus in Colorado is clearly down. As of this week, most business, including health clubs, bowling alleys, playgrounds, and houses of worship have been given the green light to restart operations at some level. Retail stores, restaurants, and offices have been open for a few weeks. Unspoken is the fear throughout our state and many others around the country about how the non-social-distanced demonstrations following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis at the hands of the local police, ongoing for the past ten days (as of this writing) and counting, could affect the possibility of new outbreaks. An outbreak is defined as “two or more confirmed cases of COVID-19 in a facility or (non-household) group with onset in a 14-day period.” Once an outbreak has been identified, it remains on the list. It is considered resolved “when 28 days have passed with no new illnesses.” Outbreak data for the entire state is updated and released every Wednesday. In Arapahoe County, there were 58 places shown on the Outbreak list as of June 3, including 16 that were marked as resolved. Of the remaining 42, 18 nursing homes and other senior living facilities plus 11 assorted businesses reported no increase in total cases or fatalities from the previous week. Most of the 11 locations
listed with new cases were places where senior citizens live. The most significant increase over the previous week was at Garden Terrace Alzheimer’s Center of Excellence at 1600 S. Potomac Street in Aurora, which reported 12 new cases among its residents from the prior week. A statement on its website dated May 29 said, “Our facility is currently COVID-19 free. Altogether, 69 of our residents have been tested for COVID-19. 49 residents have tested positive; 20 residents have tested negative. All of the in-house residents who previously tested positive have recovered per the CDC’s strict guidelines for recovery, and they no longer require isolation precautions. A few of our COVID-19 positive residents have been transferred to local hospitals for more acute care. 16 COVID-19 positive residents have passed away. Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family
and friends of these residents.” GoRight PPL, a manufacturer of plastic containers located at 21250 E. 36th Drive in Aurora reported 20 employees with COVID-19 and one fatality, up from 16 impacted employees and no fatalities a week earlier. ABM Facility Services at 9800 E. Geddes Ave in Englewood was new to the June 3 outbreak list after reporting 10 cases of COVID-19 among its employees on May 29. ABM Facility Services is a provider of building maintenance services in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico, with 140,000 employees worldwide. Also on the Arapahoe County outbreak list for the first time on June 3 was Chick-fil-a at 5600 S. Parker Road in Aurora, after reporting three employees had the coronavirus on June 2.

2020 Chevrolet Blazer is a royal performer BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST
Hertz has taken bankruptcy but will stay open and reorganize dumping almost $20 billion in debt with only one billion in cash. Creditors refused to grant them additional slack so Chapter ll will allow this iconic car rental firm to work through the courts to keep the doors open. In recent weeks Hertz announced the sale of their fleet of corvettes that will be snapped up quickly by bargain hunters for these great sport cars. General Motors makes great cars. I’ve driven many GM products and loved them all. “Body by Fisher” adorned the door of my beloved Chevy Impala convertible. I’ve had a Gold Card for years and used the card quick exit program on numerous occasions. They have some of the best locations in the car rental world. But alas, they could not go forward with what the CEO described in the bankruptcy as “zero income” during the worldwide pandemic. The car factories are reopening. President Trump has done his best to bring these factories and jobs back to the United States. With energy sufficiency, gasoline prices have remained lower, we may be re-entering the age of the new generation of automobiles with the dramatic increase of hybrid technology and electric cars. The new technology has advanced rapidly, and the performance of electric powered cars is impressive. As fuel tax revenues drop, this may raise huge issues for state and federal funding for roads and bridges. Watch for new revenue sources to fund highway taxes, like a wheel tax that would apply to road wear and tear. The test vehicle this week is a star-studded performer in the Chevrolet Blazer Premier AWD. There is nothing not to like about this spartan road warrior, except maybe the price of $45,608 with additional safety options available.
There is something to be said for larger SUVs and the safety factor with this vehicle scoring a perfect five-star overall rating. Just the larger frame, size and weight make the Blazer a safer vehicle for driver and passengers. The Blazer boasts a fivestar perfect overall safety rating. This Blazer rides on almost the same frame as a sister Cadillac at Chevrolet pricing. The Blazer is loaded with luxury features from front to back with “Midnight Blue” metallic paint and a “Jet Black-Maple Sugar” interior. The 3.6L V6-engine and 9-speed transmission are both made in the United States. Surprisingly, the final assembly is in Ramos Arizpe, CZ, Mexico with 52 percent U.S. and Canadian parts. It is difficult to fathom why this plant is in Mexico except for cheaper labor and Mexican craftsmanship. They do a great job with this Blazer and maybe consumers don’t care where cars and trucks are made, but how they run and what they cost. The world economy has merged quite well until the recent pandemic that may change many customs for better or worse. This is a larger vehicle and fuel economy averages 21 mpg. Careful driving with the nine-speed transmission can gain additional mileage. The Blazer is a family adventure vehicle with five-passenger leather seating, a hands free liftgate, and roof rails for more luggage, skis or snowboards. The Blazer has heated seats, outdoor mirrors and LED lights for winter mountain adventures. General Motors offers a 5-year/50,000 first come warranty on the powertrain. The Blazer has all of the latest safety and electronic features and the advance forward collision system warns of any forward road challenges with a quick warning light. Overall this is a dream all-wheel drive for those who can afford a larger luxury SUV. The ride and safety features are outstanding, and the drive is safe, sound, and secure. You feel like you are king of the road in this Chevy Blazer.
41 MPG highway mileage: Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is more than impressive BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST
I’m very fond of Toyota RAV4s. The older models display the swingout truck gate with the fancy spare tire. Many of these models are still on the road with very satisfied consumers and high resell value. However, It may be time to step up to the 2020 RAV4 that has all of the latest technology and safety systems earning the 2020 model a perfect overall five-star safety rating. The test car this week is a RAV4 Hybrid XSE all-wheel drive SUV. Along with the elimination of the stylish truck, Toyota has engineered a very efficient hybrid model that delivers an impressive 41 mpg in city driving and 38 on the freeways. Hybrid technology generates power for the battery system from stopping and starting friction leading to slightly lower highway mileage. The vehicle is made in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada and is fully loaded with a total price of $38,074. Dealers must be having sales now, and this is an SUV that you don’t want to overlook. The hybrid system, combined with the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine linked to the variable transmission, makes for a spirted drive. Battery power gives an instant boost to the internal combustion engine providing formidable acceleration and excellent fuel economy. Let’s not forget that this RAV4 has electronic on-demand all-wheel drive,
2020 Mazda3 is a competitive bargain BY H. THROTTLE AUTOMOTIVE COLUMNIST
It is with sadness that the August annual Car Show at the Convention Center has now been canceled. The facility is still in emergency status as a backup medical facility for the Coronavirus. The annual show brings thousands of car fans to the show so has virus potential challenges. The probable leading issue is the shortage of automobiles with many factories shut down along with major dealerships having been closed except for service departments. It appears that the car dealers will rebound rapidly with more people driving this summer and vacationing closer to home in Colorado. This may really help rural Colorado as the East Slope invades the Western Slope with vigor… hungry for country style home cooking, wonderful scenery, great fishing streams, and local bargain rate golf courses.
The most recent drive came in a Japanese brand 2020 Mazda3 premium sedan all-wheel drive. While designed and engineered in Japan, this car is assembled in Salamanca, Mexico with a Mexican engine and Thailand transmission. It all come together with the skilled Mexican craftsmen evident in this sedan.
so critical for winter driving in Colorado. The RAV4 has two major safety systems with the Toyota Safety Sense package that includes the forward pre-collision and pedestrian protection. I really like the windshield roadside speed limit sign assists. The RAV4 also has the STAR external and internal safety systems such as Smart Stop technology, backup cameras, the latest ABS braking system and eight airbags. This vehicle has a formidable appearance and looks like an unmarked police cruiser with ”Blueprint/Midnight black paint” and 18” five-spoke black paint alloy wheels. The interior has plush heated seats, loaded with navigation and sound controls, a JBL premium sound system as an upgrade. Four- UBS ports and a wireless smart phone charger. My new neighbor Brian came over and looked at the 2020 hybrid. He has a recent RAV4 in his garage along with what appears to be a Toyota Camry. “My wife is a nurse,” he explained, and “she needed the all-wheel RAV4 for her work.” This is the latest in auto science and technology and I’ve come to really admire the hybrids. This RAV4 has an 8-year-100,000-mile warranty on the hybrid system. “Let’s Go Places” is the Toyota motto and this is a great drive for work, or play, with top performance, and outstanding fuel economy.
The Mazda3 is immaculate, with “Machine Gray” metallic paint and white interior with leather seats. The exterior has a sleek design and the car appears far more expensive than the manufacturer’s suggested retail price for an AWD at $27,900. The 4-door sedan is loaded with the latest safety equipment and powered with a 186 horsepower 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces 33mpg highway mileage with a versatile “Skyactiv” drive, with sport mode and steering wheel shift paddles. Mazda offers a 60 month/60K powertrain warranty on the Mazda3. The vehicle is not yet rated by the National Highway Traffic Administration but is loaded with safety features. The rear seats have a 60/40 split for more trunk space and covered with a power-sliding glass moonroof. The features offered in this premium Mazda3 are very competitive along with AWD, for Colorado winter driving. Frugal consumers that want an allaround versatile four-door vehicle will find it with this talented Mazda3.
Be safe. Stay Strong.

South Suburban opens several facilities and amenities lander is loaded with every safety feature in the marketplace. While horsepower is not provided for the 4-cylinder 2.5L engine, it is a hybrid with the instant battery surge for speed and fuel economy. This vehicle averages 35 mpg in all highway driving, city or country. With less driving, because of the Covad-19 virus, the fuel mileage is impressive, linked to the very efficient electronic variable transmission with normal and sport modes. The sound system is outstanding with JBL 10-speakers with sub- woofer and amplifier. There are 4—UBS ports so everyone can charge their phones and a wireless charge station for one phone. A 12.3
touch screen controls features like Car Play. The Highlander by virtual name is good for mountain driving and has heated seats and outside mirrors with puddle lamps and LED fog lights for those blinding snowstorms. A large cargo space is available for the third-row seating or storage of luggage, skis or snowboards. Less room if the third row of seats are in use for cargo storage. The power lift is always a useful feature and appreciated in grocery loading. The interior is brown with abundant leather, a sunroof opens for beautiful Colorado mountain scenery. This is really an outstanding vehicle.
