2024 ELECTION RESULTS

Cherry Hills Village voters reject

Back to school is marked by: A new crop of students, the frantic ordering of school supplies, orientation days, fall sports practices, and valuable after school programs like Girls on the Run. As the name implies, Girls on the Run provides an opportunity for girls to lace up their shoes and fall in love with running. However, the teaching of critical life skills by trained coaches sets Girls on

on the Run is so much more than a running program. Through our curriculum, girls learn to stretch themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially while training for a 5k. Girls learn skills such as how to stand up for themselves, find a happy pace, work with comfortable and uncomfortable emotions, and be part of a team.”

the Run apart from other after school programs. As Founder and Executive Director of Girls on the Run of the Rockies since 2005, Lisa Johnson said, “Girls

According to a study performed by the Women’s Sports Federation this April, physical activity is instrumental in the development of girls; Sports par-

ticipation can facilitate positive mental health, reduce anxiety, and increase involvement in other opportunities. Engaging in physical activity alone doesn’t bring these benefits, coaches play an instrumental role. Johnson said, “Many coaches are runners that understand and believe in the power of running for social emotional and mental health. Coaches become mentors to these girls, they are a living example of empowerment. They help our girls set goals, are there every step of the way, and celebrate with them when crossing the finish line.”

Over 10 weeks, these coaches teach an evidenced-based curric-

ulum that develops various skills: How to be a good friend, stand up for others, be supportive, and cultivate healthy relationships.

The Women’s Sports Federation also found that many girls lack access to programs that provide fun outdoor exercise. Girls on the Run of the Rockies continues to fill this void: “Our girls come from all walks of life and 70% come from low-income backgrounds and are funded through our scholarship program” said Johnson. “We [Girls on the Run] serve 5,000 girls a year, in roughly 250 schools, and over 3,000 of those girls are supported through our schol-

arship program.” Johnson also emphasized that girls don’t need to “be runners” to participate and find value in the program. “This might be one of the only things they do, which is great. We’re also in communities that are very active and have kids who play soccer, or volleyball, or play in the band.” The bottom line: Girls on the Run is for EVERYONE!

This Fall, Girls on the Run of the Rockies is partnering with several schools in the Denver-metro area including Belleview Elementary School, Cherry Hills Village Elementary School, Clayton Elementary School, Cottonwood Creek Elementary School, Eugene Field, St. Mary’s Academy, and Wilder Elementary school. Girls on the Run of the Rockies boasts 5,000 annual participants, 1,000 annual volunteers, 70,000+ girls impacted and 23 Counties in Colorado served since 2005.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, the country I love!

Showing their true colors

Supreme Court

Justice Neil Gorsuch is a Constitutional scholar. Gorsuch was instrumental in repealing the Chevron Doctrine. Chevron, passed in 1984, amassed incredible powers to the office of the President, his Administrative State and bureaucrats. The entire regulatory apparatus grew like a cancer and spread the disease of a more powerful central government at the expense of individual freedom.

income that is taxed to pay for these bureaucrats that work in the government?

Schumers argument is self-defeating.

Senator Chuck Schumer bemoans the fact that Gorsuch halted their efforts to attain unaccountable government power through regulatory excess, and bureaucratic fiat. Schumer’s latest attack is in support of the government-employed bureaucrat, not the citizen who works in the private sector. His attitude is typical of any and all bigger-government types, democrat or republican.

Who pays for the government worker? You do, through taxes and debt. And if you are crushed with excessive taxes, debt and regulatory burden, how will you continue to generate

FASB Trice ad Villager 9-23.qxp_Layout 1 10/11/23 4:20 PM Page 1

This argument raises deeper issues. Namely, do you, as an individual, have any right to ownership of your property? Further, if you worked for that property, is it yours or the governments? Herein lies the entire purpose of our Constitution and our nation’s founding. Let’s ask another question: if it’s OK for you to decide, of your own free will, to donate money or property to a cause, is it also OK for the government to take, against your will, your money, your property and allocate it to others? And if you would prefer to allocate your property, the money you earned, for the safety of your family, are you greedy or wise? The fact is that, not only was our nation founded on the concept of the individual and his free will, but our founding documents mirror the Creators intention when He caused manifestation of the

individual person.

The big-government types would try to convince you that you are guilty of greed. That by taking your property, they are actually helping you. The methods they use are taxation and regulation. Just how much is too much? Just how effective are all these government programs? Is education better today? Now that we have Obamacare, how is your medical health? Have we won the war on drugs, or poverty? We’ve tried the more-government-is-better way for 100 years. Maybe its time to try a better way.

Chevron moved us closer to government control through one person, namely, the President and his Administrative State. Chevron, and people like Schumer, are the antithesis of the inalienable rights noted in the Declaration of Independence: life, liberty and the ownership of property. Those individual rights gave rise to the most powerful economy in the world. That economy is defined by the term capitalism. Which is free trade between individuals without outside interference. Capitalism is enlightened self-interest.

In order to protect the rights of the individual, our founding fathers created the rule of law, the Constitution, to control our national government. They realized that the greatest threat to individual freedom would not come from outside our borders, but from our own government; in particular sick men who would use the power of our government to amass even more power for themselves. This is not exclusive to one party or the other, it is the real danger we faced then and today.

We are not at the end of the line. And critical as this upcoming election is, it’s not the be-all-to-end-all. Regardless of the outcome, we individuals still have our free will and a Constitution to protect it. Our nation has survived world war and civil war, depressions and recessions, the worst that Communism can throw at us. We prevail because the power of the individual is based in the eternal.

Jay Davidson is founder and CEO of a commercial bank. He is a student of the Austrian School of Economics and a dedicated capitalist. He believes there is a direct connection between individual right and responsibility, our Constitution, capitalism, and the intent of our Creator.

The Ants Go Marching One by One

I’ve had an annoying children’s song stuck in my head for a week now. Maybe you know it.

The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.

The ants go marching one by one,

The little one stops to suck his thumb

And they all go marching down to the ground

To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Now it’s probably stuck in your head too. I’m not sorry. Misery loves company.

If you’ve ever had the wherewithal to listen to the entire song, you know that after nine long verses, the ants go marching ten by ten and the little one stops to say, “the end.” And we all breathe a sigh of relief that it’s finally over.

I’ve been humming that little ditty ever since I saw a dark spot at the top of my stairs. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the spot was moving. Closer still and I saw that it was a pile of ants. I’m no ant expert, but I assumed they were sugar ants. And they were crawling all over each other like very tiny pigs at a very tiny trough.

I disposed of them and did some investigating. Reinforcements—or reinforcemANTS— seemed to be marching hurrah, hurrah, from a crack near my front door. And there were a few ants on every step all apparently climbing toward the trough at the top of the stairs. I was impressed. Those itty-bitty creatures climbing all my steps is like me climbing Devils Tower seven times—without climbing gear.

The next day, I found another little heap of ants in the hallway. And a few days later I found one in my basement. I had to wonder what could be so enticing that they’d conquer Devils Tower seven times to get to it? I have

been known to snack throughout the house but I can’t remember ever doing it on the top step or in the middle of the hallway or by the treadmill in the basement.

And why now? We’ve never had so many ants visit before. Then it occurred to me. Maybe the ants were coming all this way in “ant-icipation” of, well, hairball medicine. It doesn’t seem very ant-like but the timing is right.

I used to give my cat hairball medicine by putting a dab of it on my fingers and letting him lick it off. He fell for it every time. Then one day, I opened a new tube—the same brand and the same flavor. But he turned up his nose at it.

Since then I’ve had to administer the gooey medicine by smearing it on the top of his paws. Being a self-cleaning mechanism, he does eventually get it down. Or at least, some of it. But first he runs through the house flicking his paws trying to remove it.

This explains why you see little blobs of hairball medicine here and there around our house. I like to think it also explains why ants have trekked to such random spots in our house. Either that or my husband has taken to snacking while seated on the top step, in the middle of the hallway and by the treadmill in the basement.

It’s all just theory. I don’t even know if sugar ants go for tuna flavor. Or if they get hairballs. But if they do, I hope that before they go “marching down to the ground” for winter, they clean up all the medicine my cat has flung all over the house.

New Co-Chairs of Cherry Hills Village Art Commission elected

Della Patteson and Chrissy Fedorowicz have accepted the co-chairs position of Cherry Hills Village Art Commission (CHVAC). Growing up in Alexandria, VA Della Patteson was dragged to just about every Washington DC museum around…the seed was planted and what developed was a life-long love and passion for art. Della earned a BA from the University of South Carolina, majoring in Art History. After a year in Aspen, CO, she put her Art History degree to work in New York City. There she worked at the prestigious gallery, PaceWildenstein (now Pace Gallery). She was privileged to work with some of the most important artists of our time. After she became engaged to her now husband, John, they moved to Atlanta, GA. In Atlanta, she was the curator of the corporate art collection at The Coca-Cola Company - placing paintings and creating scores of exhibitions for the employees and guests of the company. After 14 years at The Coca-Cola Company, she John and their two amazing daughters, Campbell and Davis, moved to Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. For the last 8 years, Della has worked as an art consultant and studio manager for well known Colorado artist, Duke Beardsley. In her free time Della skis, hikes, travels, and drags her daughters to just about every art museum around. Della has served on the Cherry Hills Village Art Commission since 2021 and as co-chairperson is looking forward to building on the Art Commission’s success.

Co-Chair Chrissy Fedorowicz was born and raised in Cherry Hills Village. Chrissy was exposed to art from an early age. Her mother, Anne Hackstock, an artist herself, encouraged her to learn and explore art in many ways from

the visual arts to performance. Chrissy graduated from Kent Denver and went to Miami of Ohio to study interior design but graduated with a BS Psychology. She later went on to the University of Denver to receive a MBA and Macc (masters of accounting). She is married to Andy Fedorowicz since 2003 and has two kids who attend Cherry Creek High School. Chrissy has served on the boards for both the Colorado Ballet Auxiliary and the Colorado Ballet Guild. She has also worked on events for the Children’s Muse-

um of Denver and the Botanical Gardens Fete. Currently she uses her love of art by working with Lafayette 148 as a fashion consultant and has private trunk shows. She has been on the art commission since 2022 elected as its co-chair. She hopes to grow the endowment for the arts in Cherry Hills and looks forward to many successful events in the future. Other members of CHVAC are Dave Schmidt (immediate past chair), Anne Marie Morrow, Benjamin Ortiz-Hill, Julie Mirr and Scottie Iverson.

CHV residents say no to changing the City Charter

Cherry Hills Village residents were asked to vote on three separate and competing measures, two of which would have changed its Home Rule Charter in different ways, all having to do with how the city should manage Quincy Farm. The original measure, Ballot Issue 300, was brought forth by a group of CHV residents, led by former Mayor Russell Stewart, Gordon Rockafellow, Rebecca Benes, Howard Schirmer, and Mary Catherine Stinson, who sought to require the city to take actions at Quincy Farm beyond and different from what is required by the conservation easement placed on the property by its owner, Catherine “Cat” Anderson, in 2007, in anticipation of bequeathing it to the city upon her passing in 2016.

That measure was defeated 79% to 21%.

Voters also rejected the city council’s responding charter amendment that would have placed a statement in the charter, essentially just confirming the requirements of the conservation easement, by a margin of 54% to 46%

The voters sent a message to their council and fellow residents that they should figure out how to manage Quincy Farm without changing the City Charter.

Cherry Creek Schools mill levy and bond package appears to be approved

As of press time, voters said yes, 55% to 45%, to using $950 million in bonds to make long term capital investments, including funding the expansion of the Cherry Creek Innovation Campus by 70% more students and developing/expanding 10 new career pathways there. The district also plans to begin the replacement of some of its aging school buildings, including the 70-year-old Cherry Creek K-12 campus in Greenwood Village, Laredo Middle School, and Holly Ridge/Holly Hills.

The mill levy increase, which was winning 56% to 44%, as of press time, will be used to increase safety and security across the district, student health services, technology, hiring the best teachers and small class sizes.

Zvonek listed improving roads as part of the Buildup Aurora program, cleaning up homeless encampments, and new water policies as accomplishments during the years he served.

Burglary ring hits Arapahoe County

BY FREDA MIKLIN

Local law enforcement personnel held a press conference at the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office (ASCO) in Centennial on October 31 to share information on a string of recent home burglaries that have oc-

targeting multi-million-dollar homes… that back up to a greenbelt or open area. They are entering through the back of the residence. When they go into the house… they go for cash and jewelry. They are wearing gloves and clothing that covers them

are all covered up and wearing masks, usually between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. when families are out to dinner, targeting jewelry, cash, and handbags,” adding that CHV police have talked to law enforcement agencies in Arizona, South Dakota, Delaware,

curred between February and October in Cherry Hills Village, Littleton, and Columbine Valley. Police believe that they might be tied to similar crimes that have popped up around the country.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Tyler Brown, Cherry Hills Village Police Chief Jason Lyons, ACSO Sergeant Brett Conn, and CHV Detective Jeremy Gunther spoke to reporters. They are asking the public’s help to keep themselves safe and catch these burglars.

Sergeant Conn began, “After speaking with other law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, there seems to be a very distinctive pattern to the way these

completely…So far, we haven’t identified any vehicles, so we think they may be getting dropped off a good distance away, then walking up and committing the burglaries, and getting picked up in different locations. We want the public to know what’s going on so they can understand what we’re dealing with and they can take advantage of our information to protect themselves and their neighbors.”

CHV Detective Gunther reported that his city has experienced four of these burglaries since February and “are observing the same distinctive pattern of behavior” involving multi-million-dollar homes that back to open spaces and trails, adding, “They get

Ohio, Florida, and New York who report having had burglaries with the same “very distinct pattern.” Some arrests have been made in other states but there is no evidence tying the Colorado burglaries to any of the perpetrators in other states. In response to a question, the local authorities stated that no weapons have been seen on any of the photos that have been captured, only tools to help the burglars break into the homes and possibly into places inside where cash or jewelry is kept.

Sgt. Conn reported that police in Scottsdale noted they have seen 138 burglaries fitting this pattern in their area, alone.

Police and sheriff’s deputies are asking Arapahoe County residents to pay attention to anyone they see who seems out of place in their neighborhood and not hesitate to call law enforcement to check out any situation that seems wrong. They also remind citizens to keep all doors, including garage doors, closed and locked, and set their burglar alarms whenever they leave home, even for a short while. It seems unlikely that it is a coincidence which homes burglars know are unoccupied between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm, when these crimes generally happen. Law enforcement also recommends that residents keep lights on when they leave home in the evening, install motion sensor lights outdoors to illuminate dark areas if anyone walks near them, and consider installing shatterproof window tinting to prevent criminals from breaking windows.

Some Ring-camera-type photos have been captured, but they have not led to the identification and apprehension of any of the burglars who have committed the nine incidents since February in Arapahoe County that have resulted in almost $1,000,000 in goods stolen.

At the press conference, we asked if the burglaries in Colorado were limited to Arapahoe County and Sheriff Tyler Brown said they were. Later that day, 9News reported that the Boulder County Sheriff said the incidents sounded much like recent burglaries in his county.

World Series victory Roberts’ vindication

Last July a disgruntled Dodgers fan from Redondo Beach wrote a letter to the Los Angeles Times castigating manager Dave Roberts for what the writer considered mishandling of his pitching staff. He wrote, in part:

didn’t want to be lifted.

Major League managers rarely make a trip to the mound just to have a pep talk. Almost always, they have the hook in their hand.

“ . . . Dodgers manager Dave Roberts’ inane approach to his pitching staff continues to cost the team wins . . . Roberts continues to be the problem and has to go.”

I’ve ever seen managed.”

Added Betts: “To be honest, Dave is the real reason why we’re here.”

That fan from Redondo Beach wasn’t alone in criticizing Roberts.

But that’s not what transpired.

I wonder what that guy thought after observing Roberts’ trip to the mound in the bottom of the eighth inning of Game Five between Los Angeles and the Yankees.

I thought it was the most impactful moment in the game that ended this World Series.

The Dodgers had just scored two to take a 7-6 lead, and New York had put two men on base via a double by Aaron Judge and walk to Jazz Chisholm after Juan Soto grounded out to start the inning. Yankee Stadium was rocking.

Blake Treinen, Roberts’ closer, had already thrown 38 pitches as the seventh pitcher of the night after entering the game in the sixth. New York had scored once in that inning to go ahead 6-5 and had men on first and second.

Treinen, though gassed by the bottom of the eighth,

The skipper grabbed Treinen by the front of his jersey, shook it a time or two, and, according to Treinen, said, “Focus up.” That was followed with, “This is your last guy.”

Giancarlo Stanton, who had hit his seventh home run of the post season in the bottom of the third, was that guy.

Treinen threw a 95-milesper-hour pitch just off dead center of the strike zone, but Stanton got only enough of it to loft a harmless fly to Mookie Betts in right field.

Instead of returning to the mound to change pitchers, though, Roberts caught his first baseman, Freddie Freeman, give him a wave that told Roberts to let Treinen face the next hitter, lefthanded hitting Anthony Rizzo.

In an example of the mutual trust that defined the bond between the manager and his players on this Dodgers team, Roberts stayed in the dugout.

Treinen struck out Rizzo on four pitches.

Afterward, Freeman—voted the World Series Most Valuable Player Award—said, “That’s one of the best games

Believe it or not, Roberts has been roasted repeatedly because, though his teams have dominated the regular season with five 100-plus win seasons in nine tries and an 851-507 record (winning percentage .627), this was their first full-season World Series championship.

But that’s like saying the Yankees’ abominable fifth inning in Game Five was manager Aaron Boone’s fault.

More tee ball than professional, that was a reminder that human beings, who make mistakes, play Major League baseball, too.

Consider:

❏ The muffed fly ball by Aaron Judge that followed the first hit Gerrit Cole allowed in the game was Judge’s FIRST ERROR of the season.

❏ When Wil Smith grounded to Anthony Volpe five pitches later, he hit it to last season’s Gold Glove shortstop—who bounced his throw to third base trying to nail the lead runner. Another error, bases loaded.

❏ And after striking out Gavin Lux and Shohei Ohtani, Cole failed to cover first base on a slow grounder to Rizzo. That’s Spring Training 101 and would have been the third out without a run scoring.

An infield single, but human error.

Speaking of human frailties, the two biggest stars in this star-studded World Series were Ohtani and Judge, who between them hit 112 home runs during the season. Ohtani finished the five games 2-for19, and Judge went 4-for-18 with nine strikeouts. Judge had the only homer.

Amid the spraying champagne in the post-game locker room, Dodgers first base coach Clayton McCullough, talked about what the victory should mean to Roberts. And to fans.

“It should mean for all those that ever doubted, ever criticized, to never do it again—to trust in what this guy is doing.”

Can You Be Persuaded?

Persuasion influences a person’s beliefs, attitudes, intentions, motivation, and behavior and plays an essential role in personal relationships and social change. When two people get together, they will inevitably try to persuade one another on political, health, parenting, or economic issues. One might even use persuasion to get another to behave in a particular manner. With the art of persuasion, there are no winners or losers. Convincing others to do what you want them to do is not using force, lies, threats, or coercion. Persuasion is the opposite of mandates. If the argument is compelling, and the one attempting to persuade has expertise

in influence, one could be convinced to change their mind and do something the persuader is encouraging. How is it that some intuitively know how to persuade or influence others? What are the essential elements involved in the art of persuasion? Primarily, one must spend time with those we are trying to persuade. Time promotes trust. But more than that, respecting the individual attempting to influence us is imperative. No one will be influenced without first respecting the would-be persuader. An influencer must be likable and accommodating. People are not convinced by people they dislike or mistrust. Influencers must be

kind and gentle, not angry, argumentative, or manipulative. This respect is not just a courtesy; it’s a fundamental part of the process that makes the audience feel valued, honored, and essential. Additionally, those trying to influence others must have a positive reputation in the public square. A positive reputation includes honesty, integrity, and essential character traits. They must also be believable and highly informed about the subject of their persuasion efforts. However, emotional intelligence may be the most crucial aspect of persuasion. It’s about understanding the emotions and motivations of the person you’re trying to influence. It’s about listening, not just hearing. It’s about knowing what is important to the one you’re attempting

to influence. This level of understanding and empathy can make the audience feel enlightened and empowered rather than manipulated. Once convinced to do something different, the persuader will be more successful if they get a verbal commitment from those they are attempting to influence. A verbal commitment is a public declaration to act. Studies show that when individuals make a verbal commitment or affirmation, they are more likely to feel obligated to follow through on their commitments.

To cement the verbal commitment, the persuader should, according to Psychology Today, invoke the psychological principle of reciprocity, allowing themselves to be persuaded to do something different as well.

Finally, an artful persuader respects the autonomy of those they try to influence, allowing

them to maintain their power, rights, and dignity. This approach increases the element of controlling their own decisions and lives and empowers them. Maintaining individual choice is an essential element of persuasion. Those who feel like they are losing power, control, and choices over their lives resist change and dig their heels to avoid being persuaded. A leader who desires to influence social change must be mindful of these elements of persuasion and not become a tyrant by mandating the change they seek.

The choice is clear: influencing behavior is more effective based on the art of persuasion than on mandates, rules, and name-calling. Let’s be committed to learning to be an influencer, leader, and persuader for healthy relationships, unity, the public good, and social change. joneen@narme.org
