Van Gogh Alive the experience is in the Hanger at Stanley Marketplace July 9 - Sept. 26, 2021. Stanley Marketplace has a food court, boutique shops and various retail and is located at 2501 Dallas St., Aurora. There is more than one Van Gogh exhibit coming to Denver. The current one at Stanley Marketplace is brought to you by The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Stephen Lindsay & Brett Sirota and Andrew Kay Management in partnership with Grande Expe-

riences. This fabulous show turns 3,000 images and paintings into a multi-sensory experience. I recently attended and loved it! When I arrived at my reserved time, I entered a room in which I read and learned about Van Gogh and the different periods of his life. There was a bedroom scene that allowed the visitor to sit in a chair for a photo opportunity. I then stepped into an immersive room with large screens and music showing the pieces I had just learned about in the introductory room. Continued on page 16

2021 marks Colorado’s first experience with non-partisan redistricting BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

Redistricting is the term that describes the process that occurs everywhere in the United States every ten years after the U.S. Census, which is required by the Constitution of the United States, is completed. It reapportions the Congressional districts in each state and all the state legislative districts, based on the number of people and where they live. The goal is to have approximately the same number of people in each district so that elected officials represent an equal number of citizens. Traditionally, redistricting was a partisan process in which the political party in power at the state level drew district lines that they believed increased the chances that their party’s candidates would be elected. In 2018, the voters of Colorado, along with elected officials and the leaders of the state’s major political parties, agreed that it would be best to permanently remove partisan influence from the redistricting process. 2021 marks the first time that the independent redistricting commissions have the opportunity to do their work. There are two separate commissions, one for Congressional districts (Colorado had seven districts historically and in 2021 for the first time, eight) and one for the 35 state senate and 65 state house districts.

Each commission is comprised of four Republicans, four Democrats, and four unaffiliated voters, selected by a fair process from those who applied and were qualified, and come from different locations around the state. Besides the relatively simple requirements that districts have equal population and be contiguous and compact, they must also comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and should be politically competitive (not contain an overwhelming majority of registered voters from one party). The tricky requirement is that they “preserve communities of interest.” Public policy concerns that define communities of interest include urban, rural, agricultural, education, environment, public health, water, and transportation. Communities of interest can also be defined as racial, ethnic, and language minority groups. The members of the independent redistricting commissions are unpaid volunteers, but they have nonpartisan professional staffs who help them do their work. The first step in the process of redistricting this year was that the professional staff prepared preliminary maps for both the congressional and legislative redistricting commissions as a starting point based on the information available in June, when they were completed. That available information did not include the final numbers from the 2020 U.S. Census.

Between July 9 and August 28, the commissions will hold 36 separate public hearings around the state, during which they will accept input from any person who signs up to speak about where they believe Congressional and legislative district lines should be drawn and why. Each speaker is limited to three minutes and generally needs to sign up in advance but there is no limit to the number of people who can speak. Comments can also be submitted electronically. Meetings are being recorded and commissioners and staff are taking careful notes to review with fellow commissioners when they make decisions about where the preliminary lines proposed by staff should be changed. That process will occur at the same time as adjustments to proposed district lines are made based on the official U.S. 2020 Census data, once it is received. Following those steps, redistricting commissioners will go back on the road to get input once again from Coloradans to the revised maps. Finally, commissioners will certify the maps, then submit them to the Colorado Supreme Court for final approval. At the local level, a similar process will occur to revise voting districts in cities and counties to make sure that each voting district has a similar number of residents based on the size of the current population and where people live. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, CO

GV struggles with policy for ground-mounted solar panels – part two BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

At the Greenwood Village City Council meeting on July 12, an emergency ordinance saying the city will not accept or review any applications for permits for ground or pole-mounted solar energy systems anywhere in the city was made final. It expires on September 13. The issue grew out of a complaint to Councilmember Dave Bullock late last year by a GV resident about the appearance of a neighbor’s ground-mounted solar panels. A 25-year GV resident, Bob Doyle, appeared at the meeting to speak on the subject. Doyle said, in part, “A moratorium of any kind is sending the wrong message to this community about the importance of solar, and a message that goes beyond this community as well…Last year’s cold in Texas, the heat in the northwest and elsewhere, the multi-year drought that has affected the west and western Colorado (where) we get our water, the associated wildfire season that we’re likely to see…all of these things point to a concern for human welfare, for ecology, for our economy, and they are by most people recognized as being linked to climate change. Taking action to say we should stop putting in solar is really taking a stand that these things are not important…I care a great deal about this community. I’ve lived here a long time,” Doyle asked the council to consider whether its “solution is worse than the problem” and to “think about whether this (issue) really warrants government involvement,” because, “Traditionally, things like this have been addressed at the neighborhood level.” He showed the council photos of a solar array put in by his next-door neighbor years ago, explaining that “at the time it was put in, I was concerned about the aesthetics of this system…Years later, my concerns are gone. Landscaping has been very effective in addressing this problem. It was because my neighbor and I talked and he put in trees and shrubs, evergreen and deciduous, that summer and winter mitigate the impact. I think that’s the solution for solar.” Mayor Lantz told Doyle that the council would be discussing the issue further in a study session the following week. Bullock said that the city supports solar, adding, “And if anybody in the news tries to say that we’re anti-solar, well, they just absolutely are not listening to our discussion.” Asked if he had anything to add by Councilmember Pressley, Doyle said, “I would feel more confident about what your support for solar is if I knew that

the city council had an agenda around climate and sustainability to further take action in this community to help solve that problem.” At the study session on July 19, Derek Holcomb, GV community development director, reported that, in response to “council’s request that staff perform additional research” on the concerns raised by William Gray from COSSA (Colorado Solar and Storage Association) on June 7, “to see if what was being proposed was overly restrictive for owners of properties” in GV, Holcomb met with Gray, who suggested changes to the proposed rules. COSSA’s recommendation differed primarily from what was in the ordinance Councilmember Bullock had introduced back on June 7 in that it recommended that ground or pole-mounted solar arrays be reasonably screened from neighbors’ views or be limited to 600 square feet per acre on lots under one acre and 600 square feet total on lots one acre or larger. Bullock’s ordinance required that all solar arrays must be reasonably screened from neighbor’s views and be limited to 450 square feet per acre on lots under one acre and 450 square feet total on lots one acre or larger. (See illustration on page 11 of the area that would be allowed for solar panels on a 1/4-acre lot). Holcomb told the council that he also performed other research through the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Colorado Renewable Energy Society, the state energy office, and the CSU extension “to validate or invalidate whether the proposed (new law was) overly burdensome in consideration of council’s desire to regulate the aesthetics in GV.” He then reported that, “After performing the additional research and talking with Mr. Clay from COSSA, staff is not proposing any changes to the ordinance” from what was presented on June 7. Holcomb added, “As I know and as council has articulated previously, the intent was not to ensure our regulations allow for ground-mounted facilities to provide 100 percent of all energy needs on the property.” Councilmember Tom Dougherty pointed to the fact that the staff report given to council previously contained the recommendation that, “Ground-mounted or pole-mounted… solar energy systems may produce no more than 120% of the electrical energy needs of the principal residential use of the lot,” but that the ordinance being proposed limited the system to producing the actual amount of energy needed for the principal residence. He asked Holcomb, Continued on page 11

Empty porches My dad was a walker and a talker. For decades, he and his friend Tom walked our subdivision each morning. They kept an active pace in both their steps and their conversations, and they’d often wake the neighborhood as they chatted and argued about everything on their minds from family stuff and local news to international business and politics. A conservative Roman Catholic Republican sparring with a liberal Protestant Democrat, they never resolved much of anything, but both men knew they were better off for the walk and the talk. I’ve thought of them often over the years as I’ve picked up the habit of walking various routes near my home. Beginning last February, the pandemic and quarantine led many people to begin strolling their neighborhoods and seeing their communities in new ways for the first time. The numerous paseos and pathways throughout neighborhoods in southeast Denver allow great views, not only of open space and the natural world, but also cozy front porches and comfortable back patios. Yet, many of the walkers also notice something else. The porches and patios are all empty. Where are all the people? In 2000, political science professor Robert Putnam published a book called Bowling Alone: America’s Declining Social Capital. His research exposed the changing nature of American communities at the turn of the millenium that were, sadly, no longer communities. They were just a collection of houses. Over the past fifty years, America has seen a noticeable and documented reduction in nearly all forms of in-person social interaction and discourse. Putnam believes that the loss of the human connection -- the kind which comes from neighbors walking together and meeting on front porches -- undermines and weakens the necessary personal engagement that is fundamental to a democratic republic. The current political climate in the United States seems to validate his concerns. When I was growing up in southern Illinois just outside of St. Louis, my subdivision was a cross-section of our community. In the houses on the street where I lived with my journalist mother and personnel director father, we had two doctors, two engineers, a police officer, a university administrator, some teachers, a phone company worker, small business owners, contractors, carpenters and numerous skilled laborers including factory workers. All lived in the same subdivision of roughly two thousand square foot houses. Their kids all swam in the same community pool, attended the same local schools and played numerous

sports in the same rec leagues. Their parents were in community organizations like Rotary together, and they participated in the same PTCO.

I grew up attending regular, sometimes weekly, porch parties at my grandmother’s house, where the adults sat and chatted while listening to Cardinals games on the radio, as the kids ran around the neighborhood, catching lightning bugs as the evening settled in. I recall hours of sitting on our front porch in the summer, looking to the southwest as

Mississippi River Valley thunderstorms moved in. Watching the lightning, listening to thunder, we’d occasionally have some neighbors join us on the porch if they were on our street when the skies unleashed a gully washer. The front porch offered refuge from the storm in more ways than simple shelter. Granted, these memories are viewed through the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia. Clearly that type of living arrangement is long gone and never coming back. Yet the loss of interconnectedness is unhealthy for any society. The social fabric that connected people to each other for so many centuries is fading in contemporary America. While critics and pundits talk about the spectre of socialism or facism, the real crisis in America slips by unnoticed as few people know their neighbors anymore. When Alexis de Tocqueville explored the magic of Amer-

ica, he coined a phrase social capital to describe the civic engagement that was the essence of community. When we don’t know our neighbors, and when our neighbors are only people who have the same lived experience, something important is lost. In 2020 Robert Putnam and Shaylen Romney Garrett published a second book called The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago, and How We Can Do it Again. Perhaps one way we could come together is to be out on our front porches again, connecting with neighbors and building communities. My porch is small, but my wife and I are out there often and all are always welcome to stop and sit for a chat. Michael P. Mazenko is a writer, educator, & school administrator in Greenwood Village.

PART VI: Many faces of the Soviet Union The Soviets worked hard to show us the best of their country. The fences were all taken down on the countryside because the government owned all of the land. The state farms run by the government workers had no land costs involved in the farming. The same with the collective farms, except on these operations the farmers shared in the profits. They were by far more successful than the state operations. Early free enterprise was creeping into the USSR. I found Siberia much like my native Northwest Colorado; cold weather, snow on the ground and a coal fired power plant belching black smoke. (We had four of them in Craig, soon to close in 2025.) We had been traveling East into Siberia and we viewed the vast hydro-dam construction at Ust-Limsk and an aluminum fac-

tory at Bratsk. Then we headed back west, and eventually to the USA. We left Bratsk in a sleek 20-passenger jet aircraft. The little “Lear” was brought in to take us back to Irkutsk and was meant to impress us and it certainly succeeded. There was one stewardess who passed plates of lemon candy and it was a real treat to ride on the fast, sleek craft. As we approached Irkutsk, the weather was foggy and no doubt they used the jet to get us back on schedule. The highlight of this region was Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake. We drank water from the lake. The vast lake was surrounded by medium size mountains and some fishing villages. I picked up some small rocks along the edge of the water, now stashed away somewhere in my trip treasures.

We were then transferred to a bus and we spotted a narrow road leading to a village and an old church. We had the bus stop and to the great discomfort of our hosts we persuaded them to allow us to walk the short distance into the village. It was a highlight to see this small cluster of cottages, each with a television antenna on the rooftop. Water for the homes came from a community water well. Grandparents were giving their grandson a ride in a baby buggy. Goats were grazing on the streets and there were some milk cows in some backyards. The small homes were wellkept with attractive carved shutters. We gave chewing gum and candy to delighted school children. The old church was locked, and the natives told us that they did hold church services. Our constant host companions complained about us taking photos of the well saying,

“That will make us look bad in America.” The name of the little village was Listvlanka with a population of 300. They couldn’t grasp why we wanted to see the church. At that time Communism and religion didn’t mix. One of my quaint memories of the trip was when we were at Communist headquarters, the last night before departing, receiving the final propaganda speeches and we were totally exhausted. The window was open, and the heavy curtains had blown completely over Elizabeth Dowling, the Charlotte Observer delegate, who was sound asleep in her chair. We had all heard enough and were very tired. Another lasting memory was when we finally departed the USSR and reached the Frankfort, Germany airport touching down we all cheered loudly. We were going home, back to our beloved America.

The Clock Is Ticking

Received an interesting phone call recently with a subscriber upset over one of our reporter’s coverage of a monthly organization that we regularly cover. Seems that she did not like what the speaker had to say and strongly disagreed with the speech. Her premise was that we shouldn’t have covered her speech because she disagreed with her message. That falls under the category of “Killing the Messenger,” the old Roman custom of killing a messenger who delivered bad news. In this case it was a political speech that was arranged by the organization program committee. Our reporter had nothing to do with the program planning but attends the meetings regularly to cover whatever the speaker

says. We still have free speech in America, although, if a speaker dares speak against a certain topic, it can be branded as racism or worse. News coverage of events should be told exactly the way the meeting happens and accurately report what the speaker says. If they are misquoted, that is something that should always be corrected. Our policy is that if you don’t want it printed in this newspaper, don’t say it. We have few issues with accuracy, this wasn’t the point of the caller, she just didn’t like the reported speech and felt that we should not have covered the event. Newspapers exist to write history as it hap-

pens. We can’t change speeches to please readers. We are blessed in America to be able to write freely and cover freedom of all speakers. There’s something to remember about freedom of speech, you can say almost anything you want, but you are responsible for what you say. We see political foes going back decades looking for rival quotes that maybe were acceptable decades ago but are now considered racist poison. If you read something in this newspaper that you disagree with feel free to call and complain; better yet, write a letter to the editor expressing your own opinion and calling out the featured speaker on their opinions. If their

facts are wrong, make a point of setting the record straight. We need to speak up and stand up for America, our freedoms and what we believe. Speakers and writers will cast their own opinions on various subjects; I do it all the time in this column. Good journalism means writing and printing the statements of speakers as they occur. Unfortunately, pundits are now attempting to rewrite history as seen today, not through the historians and citizen participants when the events actually occurred. What was acceptable centuries ago may be taboo today. As a nation, we continue to learn from our mistakes. But, we cannot and should not, attempt to rewrite history. History is a road map into the future and has harsh truths. Every republic has failed in time, and the clock is ticking for us.

OPINION

Fatal drug overdoses surging in Colorado In my last two columns I wrote about increasing homelessness and homicides in Denver. Today I’ll complete the depressing trio, using the word heroin for the sake of alliteration, the “3 H’s,” but in reality it is far more than just heroin contributing to the rise in fatal drug overdoses on Colorado. The Denver Post reported a surge of 59 percent in 2020 as yet another public health issue plaguing the state, on top of the previously described homelessness and homicides. Heroin is old school, now replaced by the synthetic opioid fentanyl, far more potent and readily available. Fentanyl is 80-100 times stronger than morphine, meaning a minute amount can be fatal. Fentanyl goes by street names of China Girl, China White and China Town, which surprisingly have not been deemed racist by the woke police that were quick to condemn any reference to the Chinese coronavirus. Part of the opioid crisis is indeed China related, as they

are the world’s largest source of fentanyl. An open southern border facilitates the flow of illicit drugs into the US via Mexico. Why the rise in overdoses? With fentanyl, one issue is drug potency. Two milligrams is a fatal dose. In the BY BRIAN C. JOONDEPH ICU or operating room, drug dosing is precise. Not so much on the street where the user never really knows how much drug they are ingesting. 2020 was also a unique year due to COVID, and a year of misery with school and business closures, stay at home orders, masks, and a steady bombardment of gloom and doom from cable news. While everyone is concerned about new mask or vaccine mandates, the mental health consequences of such rules are largely ignored. If drug overdoses are bad now, add another year of masking, distancing and vaccines which are not working as well as advertised. Although the stress, isolation, and anxiety in a COVID world

is contributing to the rise in fatal drug overdoses, underlying mental health issues and a readily available supply of dangerous drugs remain even if COVID disappears. As The Denver Post reported, “There were 1,313 fatal overdoses in Colorado last year, up from roughly 824 such deaths recorded on average during the five previous years.” What will 2021 look like as we are heading back to last year with masking and other restrictions Colorado legalized marijuana in 2009, now 12 years ago. Are we seeing the natural consequence with the rise in fatal drug overdoses or are the two issues unrelated? This is at least worth some research and consideration. Meanwhile Coloradans are dying not just from COVID and its latest Greek letter variant but one of the real world consequences of the downstream effects of COVID and resulting public health policies, despair with drug use and overdoses.

Heather Gardens Republican Club SUBMITTED BY VICKIE HOFFMAN

Janet Yoder, president of Heather Gardens Republican Club, greeted an audience of over 100 eager attendees to hear Mayor Mike Coffman speak on his experience living with the homeless for a week. After staying in several shelters and encampments in Aurora and Denver, he concluded that there are three homeless populations: 1. Those who are truly mentally ill 2. Those with addictions 3. Those who are displaced economically The common denominator for these three populations is the fact they are homeless, but other than that, these populations require different approaches to assisting them. The mentally ill need to consent to treatment while those with addictions need to commit to being sober before a path of treatment can be made available to them. The economic displaced are the most resilient group. Many had their jobs disrupted due to COVID but some have managed to get part-time jobs. This group relies on shelters for their housing. Most want to go back to work. Homeless in shelters never stay at encampments and vice versa. In order to stay at an encampment, Mayor Coffman had to ask for permission from the appointed leader. The biggest concern of the leader was to prevent the encampment from getting too large and be swept by the police. It was also noted that sanitation is nonexis-

Welcome back! Cor2Cor reunion at Eddie V’s A chance to get caught up on life and work

or2Cor, the professional business alliance was thrilled to welcome back its founders and followers, in their summer finest, to gather on the outside patio and indoor bar area of Eddie V’s in DTC. It was an especially joyful reunion with a toast to better days ahead for the organization that was started approximately 12 years ago. The social gatherings offer an opportunity to be surrounded by great and interesting men

and women in business, strategic partners and colleagues who share similar business philosophies – promoting NetGiving. It was a time to get caught up on life and work. Cor2Cor Co-Founder Nepeta Godec had kept a close eye on Eddie V’s all through the construction phase and grand opening and praised Managing Partner Matthew Youssef for gracious and generous hospitality. Jonathon DiGiovanni, VP, ETF & SMA Specialist, First Trust Advisors spoke briefly about “THE ROAD TO RECOVERY, an economic out-

look and was available for Q & A. He was optimistic noting growth is good and that it will take some time for the economy to fully recover. It is important to know “who is most at risk”

and professional advice is still needed. Talk of the Roarin’ 20’s lasted two months before the deepest recession since the Great Depression. He compared the situation to muscle atrophy in an unsure time that impacted markets and decision making. What is this inflation? Some

transitory and some monetary with a 40% reduction of earnings! Restaurants and airport revenue is up but there are still 9.3 million unfilled jobs. On the interesting attendee

list was Mark Hardcastle, a pilot for United, a motivational speaker on the topic of perseverance and an author with his own publishing company. Most recently – despite Covid, he was chosen as a

collaborator, contributing his talent for the book Echoes of Our War (the title alone brings goose bumps!). The profoundly moving book presented by Col. Robert L. Fischer consists of stories from veterans reflecting on the Vietnam War, 50 years later. Hardcastle helped finalize the manuscript in just months and the book was miraculously published in August 2020. Cor2Cor (Heart2Heart) is a non-profit.

Colorado independent redistricting commission meets in Aurora BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On July 28, a joint meeting of the Independent Colorado Congressional and Legislative Redistricting Commissions met at Aurora Community College for three hours. Nearly all 24 commissioners were present live or virtually. Commissioner Danny Moore told The Villager that he volunteered for the redistricting commission because he believes it is“one of the most important things he could do.” Moore, a U.S. Navy veteran and holder of a National Security Agency Director Distinguished Service Medal, is president and owner of DeNOVO Solutions, LLC, an aerospace company in Aurora. Commissioner Lori Schell told The Villager that she “saw the redistricting as a good opportunity for a life-long unaffiliated voter to get involved.” Schell is an energy economist who holds a Ph.D. in mineral economics and operations research, The commissioners heard from more than 20 area residents. The first speaker was a 26year veteran of Denver International Airport who shared that she believed that DIA should be kept in congressional district one because airport workers are a

Colorado’s independent redistricting commissioners are holding 36 public meetings in July and August.

Independent Redistricting Commissioners Hunter Barnett, Republican from Englewood and JulieMarie Shepherd Macklin, Republican from Aurora listened to speakers carefully.

community of interest. The next speaker told commissioners that his neighborhood belongs in a district that includes suburban Aurora rather than rural

Colorado, where it was placed on the preliminary map. The third speaker said that he had lived in Aurora since 1997 and that, “Aurora is a wonderful city with remarkable neighborhoods.” He continued, “Southeast Aurora…even as diverse as it is, lacks competition in our state house and senate races.” He shared that he approved of the proposed new district lines, seeing them as providing “a chance to have competitive districts.” But nothing is perfect. Noting that the commission had previously said that each state house district should have about 89,000 people, the speaker said that Aurora would fit perfectly into five house districts, but instead, it is “sliced up into nine districts.” Another speaker asserted the importance of keeping the Armenian community in Aurora in one congressional district. The next speaker was there to speak to “prison gerrymandering” in the preliminary maps, asserting, “The proposed maps do not accurately allocate incarcerated people to their communities, and instead allocate incarcerated people to the areas where they are being caged.” Antonette Smith, director of marketing at the public policy arm of Colorado Christian University of Denver, appeared, “to address the split in the City of Centennial in the house map.” Smith told the commissioners that, “I understand that Centennial (population 110,000) may be too big to be one house district, but I do think we need to look honestly at where a more healthy divide would be for the city,” explaining that western and eastern Centennial are naturally divided by I-25. In response to a question from Commissioner Danny Moore, Smith confirmed that she was referring to proposed house districts 20 and 21. She told

Idris Keith objected to commissioners moving forward with redistricting without having the 2020 current U.S. Census data.

Antonette Smith is director of marketing at the Centennial Institute, the public policy think tank at Colorado Christian University in Denver.

Aurora City Councilmember Alison Coombs addressed the commission redistricting.

Commissioner John Buckley, “My particular part of Centenni-

al…has more in common with Littleton and Greenwood Village in that region than it does with what is happening on the east side of Centennial which is more aligned with Aurora.” Idris Keith, Aurora attorney who ran for the Arapahoe County Commission in 2020, objected to the redistricting commission moving forward without the 2020 U.S. Census data, which is not yet available, but will be incorporated into the redistricting plan once it is released. Commissioner Lori Schell pointed out that the commissioners had staff use available data to create preliminary maps because, “Had we waited for the final census data to create the first maps and kick off the public hearings, we simply would not have had enough time…We wanted to make sure we got public input from around the state.” Commissioner Gary Horvath noted that the first official “user-friendly census data” will be available to commissioners on September 16. Senator Rhonda Fields asked commissioners not to split up Aurora into districts that are in more than one county because many residents receive county services and it would cause too much confusion. Aurora City Councilmember Alison Coombs spoke to “the diversity of interests” and “the diversity of identities” in Aurora, “to understand why these… maps might not work best to make sure that Aurora is well-represented with respect to issues of housing… transportation and transit…and…educational equity and educational needs of our two different school districts.” Coombs told commissioners that the way districts are drawn currently more accurately reflects communities of interest, whereas the proposed map “seems to cut them up and to separate them and dilute those voices.” fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

Luc Hatlestad, Arapahoe County public information officer, told us that there are no immediate plans to take a similar action, but, “We’re tracking all the developments and taking our cues from Tri-County Health officials.” In response to a question about what he is doing to encourage Coloradans who have not yet taken the vaccine to do so, Polis pointed to the success of the Walmart $100 gift card program, saying that vaccinations have increased 39 percent since it began. He also noted that the state has buses that serve as mobile vaccination units. Employers can arrange to have one of those buses come to their parking lot to vaccinate employees by request. One bus is permanently stationed in Mesa County full time, where,

according to the Mesa County Department of Public Health, only 43 percent of residents were fully vaccinated as of July 28. Dr. Herlihy also emphasized that it is the unvaccinated who are getting sick and, “the vaccine is the best tool to control the pandemic in this state.” She said that

since July, 87 percent of hospitalizations and 97 percent of COVID-19 deaths have been of the unvaccinated. When the governor was asked whether the delta variant, now dominant in Colorado, will impact the state’s economy, Polis said. “Colorado still has one of the lower rates of infection nationally so I don’t think this will discourage tourism.” He also confirmed that he does not expect any significant interruptions to in-school learning this year. When Dave Perry of the Aurora Sentinel asked the governor, “What’s the argument against a statewide indoor mask mandate?” Polis said it wasn’t necessary because, “There is not an emergency.” He also pointed to the fact that, “Masks offer 50 percent protection against infection while the vaccine offers 80 percent protection against infection and almost complete protection from getting seriously ill.” fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

This illustrates a higher rate of breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among those who got the Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine than those who received the Moderna vaccine.

Sports fans: If seeking relief, channel Somerset Maugham

“A sensible person does not read a novel as a task. He reads it as a diversion. He is prepared to interest himself in the characters and is concerned to see how they act in given circumstances, and what happens to them; he sympathizes with their troubles and is gladdened by their joys; he puts himself in their place and, to an extent, lives their lives . . . ” —W. Somerset Maugham The British playwright and novelist William Somerset Maugham, a literary giant in league with Ernest Hemingway, E.E. Cummings, Thomas Mann and William Faulkner, is not known to have been a sports fan. Though, he once wrote a piece for Sports Illustrated—the introduction of Charles Goren as the magazine’s bridge columnist, in its inaugural issue. But Maugham’s commentary about readers of fiction could easily be adapted to refer to those who live and die with their favorite sports teams, or at least attend their games and occasionally cheer for a particular player or recognize a good play. Alas: “A sports fan does not watch a game as a task. He (and she) follows it as a diversion. He (and she) is prepared to interest

himself (and herself) in the players and the play, and is concerned to see how they act in given circumstances, and what happens to them and their team in the end. He (and she) is entertained by their successes, sympathizes with their failures and, while focused on the game before them, escapes the frustrations of daily life and the aggravations of politics today . . .” Oh, if only that were still so. But, sadly, even Sports has been corrupted, our diversion diminished. No longer can we turn to baseball, football or basketball games—or most other athletic contests—and be confident that we can forget about, or briefly find relief from, differing opinions about Covid 19, masks and vaccinations, defense of critical race theory, debates over election integrity, the southern border crisis and illegal immigration, systemic racism, Big Tech’s abuses, gun control, increasing crime, defunding the police or “mostly peaceful” protests that destroy millions of dollars’ worth of private property.

The National Football League, for example, recently announced that its games this fall would be preceded by not only The Star-Spangled Banner but also the black national anthem. (Raise your hand if you can sing along without seeing the lyrics.) During its pandemic-induced “Playoffs Bubble” in Florida, the National Basketball Association adorned players’ jerseys with catchwords such as “Liberty,” “Equality” and “Peace” above their numbers, rather than their names. (Raise your hand if you know all the players so well you didn’t miss having help identifying them.) Many college teams also opted for nameless basketball jerseys, last season. (Raise your hand if you’re so familiar with the players on even your favorite team that you knew them all anyway.) Not to be outdone, Major League Baseball moved its All-Star Game from Atlanta to—as you know—Denver, a reaction to perceived restrictions in Georgia voting law. These all followed the ground-breaking stance the NBA took when it sided with the repressive leaders of China on the subject of social media

commentary by a front office executive of an NBA team who had the temerity to be critical of Chinese policies. And, of course, we have numerous athletes, most notably LeBron James, who feel their opinions on social issues, political candidates and U.S. history matter at least as much as those expressed by performers in the entertainment industry. (Actually, they do: not at all.) Not even tennis, gymnastics nor cycling is immune from partisan discourse. And the Olympic Games, always susceptible to political statements, are now the grandest pandemic stage and woke pulpit of all. And this just in: The Cleveland Indians, beginning next season, will be the Cleveland . . . GUARDIANS! (To borrow a Native American expression: UGH.) In the NFL, meanwhile, the Washington team remains nickname-less but promises a politically acceptable moniker soon. So, what’s a sports fan—or anyone seeking respite from culture wars or everyday politics—to do? Well, golf seems to remain a bastion of diversion (though with plenty of aggravation and frustration if you’re playing rather than watching), as is ice hockey (if you can tolerate the fighting). I was going to include soccer, but then the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team decided

to kneel before its Olympics opener versus Sweden (which it eventually lost 3-0). More Ugh!, as far as I’m concerned. Beyond that? One man I know has taken to watching games with the sound turned off. If that’s more than you can tolerate, I suggest—returning to the adaptation of Mr. Maugham, if I may—emphasizing one’s focus. Tune out all the grandstanding and theatrics, and concentrate on whether or not your chosen team or favorite player entertains you with his or her or its performance on the field, court or whatever the particular setting for competition is called. Mike Singletary, a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame who starred for the Chicago Bears back when all sports was still a diversion, said it well: Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to PLAY. Fans, change that last word to ESCAPE. Denny Dressman is a veteran of 43 years in the newspaper business, including 25 at the Rocky Mountain News, where he began as executive sports editor. He is the author of 13 books, seven of them sports-related. You can write to Denny at info@comserv books.com.

GV struggles with solar panels

law, Senate Bill 261, is now 200 percent, so we’re further inconsistent…It was previously 120 percent and the staff report was at least in line with prior state law. SB261, which passed this session, now raises that number to 200 percent, but we’ve gone in the other direction and effectively lowered that number to 100 percent, so we’ve gone in the opposite direction of state legislation.” Dougherty continued, “State policy has for years been to encourage distributive energy resources such as this and to allow more production than what is needed… (because): 1) it is consistent with the state’s energy policy; 2) it also helps the homeowner…pay for that system. It provides a financial incentive by creating excess generation that can then be net-metered back to the utility (Xcel) so as to provide

an additional revenue stream that helps offset the cost of that (solar) facility.” He added, “SB261, recently signed into law, reemphasizes the importance of climate change issues, sustainability and energy independence, and is reflective of what so many people in our…state want, which is the ability to generate more clean energy at their home. Hence the increase from 120 percent to 200 percent. At a minimum, I think we’re heading in the wrong direction with regard to that aspect of the ordinance.” After noting that the term “reasonably screened” was used in other places in GV’s code, Dougherty posed the question, “If it’s reasonably screened, why do we have an area limitation at all? If people can’t see it, then we shouldn’t have that concern.” Mayor Pro Tem Dave Kerber, speaking through a cell phone because he was remote and there was a glitch in the audio system (unlike the state, the county, and many cities in the area, GV does not video-record or video-stream its meetings), said, “We’ve forgotten what our purpose is. We’re not trying to maximize the solar output of citizens in the Village. We started with a legitimate complaint of people that didn’t like to see industrial facilities in back yards and that’s what we’re looking at…The question was, do these things look ugly or don’t they?... We talked about reasonably screening it. The problem is, reasonably screening it is not the same as ‘don’t see it.’ You can put it on your roof.

I’m sorry that everybody’s roof can’t take it. If they’re really excited about that, they can cut down their trees and they can do whatever. But I think we’ve kind of lost the focus trying to maximize our citizens’ ability to get free electricity for rich people…I agree with Dave (Bullock) that these things are really ugly and inappropriate for residential areas.” Bullock said, “It’ll come as no surprise that my thoughts are very similar to Mr. Kerber’s.” Crediting Dougherty with a “wonderful and comprehen-

sive discussion” on pure solar, Bullock said that the overriding factor was the aesthetics of the neighbors, adding, “I don’t really believe the discussion here is trying to match up what the legislature has passed…I, for one, feel no connection or commitment to anything our legislature does because there’s many people in GV that don’t agree with what the legislature passes. So, for me, that argument doesn’t hold water…I’m not anti-solar. I’ve stated public-

Continued from page 2

“Which is it? 100 percent or 120 percent?” When Holcomb replied that the “ordinance language (was) updated following my drafting of the staff report… due to concerns brought about… by previous discussions,” Dougherty wanted to know, “What was the basis for that?” Dougherty said that he did not recall “previous discussions saying that we wanted to limit the 120 percent to 100 percent.” Holcomb answered, “From what I recall in our last council meeting…that was…going to be changing in the state law and so it would be inconsistent.” Dougherty responded, “The state

which home health agencies work with the plan and are within the plan’s network of providers. For more detailed information on how Medicare covers in-home health, see the “Medicare and Home Health Care” online booklet at Medicare.gov/Pubs/ pdf/10969-Medicare-andHome-Health-Care.pdf. Other Options If your husband does not qualify for Medicare home

health care coverage, there are other coverage options depending on your situation. Here are several that may apply to you:

Insurance: If you happen to have long-term care insurance, check to see if it covers in-home care. Or if you have

a life insurance policy, see if it can be utilized to pay for care. Medicaid: If your income is low, your husband may qualify for Medicaid, which offers different home and community-based services that can pay for in-home care. To investigate this, contact your local Medicaid office. Also see if PACE – which stands for “Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the El-

derly” – is available in your area (see NPAonline.org). PACE provides in-home care, including help with activities of daily living, such as meals, dental and medical care, among other benefits. Veterans Benefits: If your husband is a veteran, the VA also offers some benefits that can help. Two programs to inquire about are “Aid and Attendance or Housebound Allowances” and the “Veteran-Directed Care” program. Both programs provide monthly financial benefits to eligible veterans that can help pay for in-home care. To learn more, contact your regional VA benefit office (see Benefits. va.gov/benefits/offices.asp or call 800–827–1000). To look for these and other programs in your area that can help pay your husband’s home care, go to PayingForSeniorCare.com and click on “Find Financial Assistance for Care” to access their Eldercare Financial Assistance Locator tool.

BY DONALD PETERSON Dear Readers,

What is the difference between owning a home as joint tenants vs. tenants-incommon?

In my last article, I covered the use of Beneficiary deeds recognized in Colorado, as well as critical restrictions you should know about, before signing a Beneficiary deed. There is also a critical legal difference between taking ownership of real property as joint tenants versus tenants-in-common. The following is an example of the significant difference between joint ownership and tenant-incommon ownership of a home. Some years ago, an unmarried couple had purchased their home under a deed which contained their names, including the woman’s maiden name, and stated that they took ownership as joint tenants. After the couple was married, they wanted to change the wife’s name to show her married name and thus, they prepared a Quitclaim Deed with the name change. They used language on the Quitclaim Deed which showed their names as owners, including the wife’s married name, and stated that they took title to the home as “Husband and Wife”. This Quitclaim

ly that we looked very strongly at solar for our place in the mountains, it just wasn’t economically advantageous…” Councilmember Johnston said that “she wouldn’t be willing to increase the size beyond what we’ve already proposed (450 square feet/acre on smaller lots and 450 square feet total on large ones) but if that gets over 200 percent for somebody that’s great as long as it doesn’t obstruct my view unreasonably.” Bullock thanked Dougherty for the information he had provided, but made it clear that “it doesn’t impact my personal decision,” noting his view that it was most important to limit the size of solar arrays because reasonable screening did not mean they couldn’t be seen at all. Bullock noted that he himself lives “in an area where there’s much larger lots” and “on 2 1/2-acre lots you can put what people perceive is a solar farm there.” The city attorney had previously stated that a solar farm was not allowed in

Deed was recorded in the County where the home was located and took priority over the prior deed. Based on this language in the Quitclaim Deed, the husband thought he was the sole owner of the property after his wife’s passing, as the surviving joint owner. Unfortunately, the couple did not include the critical, legal words needed on the replacement Quitclaim deed, to show that the husband and wife took ownership as joint tenants. These words are required under Colorado law to take advantage of the law of joint tenancy. When such words are used on a deed, the ownership of real property is transferred to the surviving joint tenant at the death of the other joint tenant. All that is needed is to record a certified copy of the Certificate of Death of the deceased joint tenant in the County where the real property is located. However, when such words are not used on a deed, the ownership automatically reverts to that of tenants-in-common. Now, the husband was ready to sell the family home and was surprised when the title company advised that he only owned an undivided one-half interest in the home as a tenant-in-common and that his deceased wife’s estate owned the other undivided onehalf tenant-in-common interest. Accordingly, the title company advised there was a need to open a probate estate for the wife, for the Court to appoint a Personal Representative with Letters to be issued, authorizing the Personal Representative to transfer ownership of the wife’s undivided onehalf interest to the buyer with a Personal Representative’s Deed. I explained that merely using the words “Husband and Wife” on the Quitclaim deed had no legal significance and was not the same as using the legal term, “as

joint tenants”. Thus, the couple unknowingly changed the ownership of their home from joint tenants, to tenants-in-common, under the wording of the Quitclaim deed they prepared, resulting in a one-half ownership by the husband and one-half by the wife. Under tenant-in-common ownership, the respective share of property that is owned by two people will pass upon the death of one of the co-owners to his or her estate, rather than to the surviving co-owner and probate will be needed to transfer ownership of the property. It is always best to consult with an experienced estate planning/real estate attorney regarding the best legal language to use when transferring or titling real property, to accomplish your goals, particularly to avoid the need to open a probate estate.

a residential area of Greenwood Village. Bullock returned to the original issue that his neighbors were unhappy with their view of a legally-permitted solar array in an adjacent yard. It was not mentioned that the solar array that gave rise to the complaint was completely unscreened because when the city issued the permit for it, there was no requirement that it be screened. Councilmember Presley confirmed that Dougherty felt that the primary goal to protect aesthetics was a requirement for reasonable screening along with the other limitations for accessory structures already in place. Dougherty, who had previously shared that the complex rooflines of his family’s home, would not allow for roof-mounted solar panels, returned to the larger issue that, “A growing percentage of the people who live in this state care deeply about their ability to (use solar energy) and I believe a growing percentage of people who live in Greenwood Village care deeply about that issue as well, and we’re trying

to strike the balance to…maximize their ability to do that and protect the aesthetics…I think reasonable screening is the key here.” Bullock responded that he believed that “most people don’t have as complicated rooflines as you have so…the majority of people could put those solar panels on their roofs.” Councilmember Anne Ingebretsen asked if renderings could be prepared to denote the appearance of using the 600 square feet per acre limit for ground-mounted solar arrays that COSSA recommended compared to the 450 square feet per acre that staff proposed. Councilmembers Judith Hilton agreed, as did Councilmember Libby Barnacle, Hilton’s daughter. Mayor Lantz agreed as well and Holcomb said he would do just that for the continuation of the discussion at the city council’s August 16 study session. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com Editor’s note: This is a continuation of the report on page 2 of the July 29 Villager.

estate after your passing, as well as to identify the beneficiaries and the distributions to them, to accomplish your estate planning goals.

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

Multi-talented, beautiful young attorney from CHV killed in senseless hit-and-run

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

tacy Pepper’s obituary said, “With deep, unfathomable, indescribable sadness and disbelief we share with you the news of the devastating loss of our beautiful, brilliant, joyful, thoughtful, affectionate, infinitely beloved, Stacy Lynn Pepper of Denver, Colorado. She was killed on the evening of July 26th when the driver of a stolen vehicle crossed three lanes of oncoming traffic and crashed into her head-on in a hit-and-run.” The incident occurred in the 4000 block of South University Boulevard at approximately 6:34 p.m. “Stacy was born in Denver, Colorado in 1984. She went to Cherry Hills Village Elementary School, during which time her first-grade teachers sought guidance for “how to keep such a highly gifted mind challenged.” She graduated from Cherry

and family, and document her world travels through perfectly crafted photo memory books. She guided her family on adventures to Italy, Spain, France, England, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Israel, Japan, and beyond. Her greatest delight was spending time with people she loved, and her most recent adventure included an extended stay back home in Denver to maximize her time with family while working remotely.” Stacy Lynn Pepper was the daughter of longtime CHV residents Cindy and Neil Pepper and the older sister of Marci and Steph. The person responsible for this horrible tragedy abandoned the stolen vehicle and fled the scene of the accident on foot. On July 30, Cherry Hills Village Police Department announced that it had issued a warrant for the arrest of Evan Michael Joslin, 28, address unknown, for charges including vehicular homicide-reckless driving, driving with a revoked license, failure to remain at the scene of an accident involving death, and displaying a fictitious license plate.

I was in awe of the colors and sounds that were on all sides of me in the main exhibit hall. I found a place to observe and then just let myself soak in the visual and auditory pleasure of it. Not only was the art on large screens on the wall, but also the floor. Several young girls danced on the floor display, which I found amusing to watch as well. I spent approximately an hour watching the presentation before exiting. I found myself thinking how education and entertainment could merge with other artists to bring art to life. For those who might not take the time to visit a museum, these exhibits have the potential to expose many people to great artists and cultivate art and music appreciation for children and adults alike. After I finished viewing the main room, I enjoyed the sunflower room with mirrors that provided a fun photo opportunity. There was also a gift shop before exiting. After the exhibit, I enjoyed walking around Stanley Marketplace and eating dinner. For more information and tickets to this presentation, visit denvercenter.org and stanleymarket
