Three men face charges for school break-in Vandalism caused at least tens of thousands in damages

By Peter Jones Formal charges were to be filed this week against three men suspected of vandalizing the new Englewood High School campus in the early morning of Jan. 12.

Michael Alan Trickel, 23, Anthony Ryan Meany, 25, and Chad David Delgadillo, 28, were arrested Jan. 17 in connection to last week’s burglary, arson and criminal mischief at the $45 million campus. The three were taken to the Arapahoe County jail and were awaiting formal charges at press time.

The arrests came after police

released surveillance from the crime, which caused damage estimated to be at least in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Trickel and Meany have criminal records.

Englewood Police Investigator Kevin Sage says the three men

Chad Delgadillo

who entered the school smashed several school windows, damaged property in the computer lab and started multiple fires in the band room. The sprinkler system put out the fires, but some rooms, including an orchestra pit, were flooded.

Englewood firefighters were the first responders to the scene due to the fire-alarm activation and contacted police after broken glass was discovered.

The three suspects are believed to have entered the campus from the south side of the old high school and caused damage there before making their way to the new areas of the campus. Once inside, the vandals caused extensive damage by destroying property and starting fires.

Classes for EHS and Englewood Leadership Academy, which also uses the building, were cancelled on Jan. 13, but resumed the following day. Englewood Middle School is slated to begin using the campus by the end of the year.

“I

t’s the window that a Louisiana sniper with a Chicagobought Italian rifle killed a president of the United States – a man from Massachusetts.”

That may sound like some cheesy intro to a half-baked docudrama about the assassination of President Kennedy – and that is what it would have been if an Englewood oilman and a Colorado Springs filmmaker had gotten their way.

At least, that is one theory emerging from the labyrinth surrounding an odd screenplay titled Countdown in Dallas and a recently rediscovered 1965 screen test of Marina Oswald, the widow of the accused Kennedy assassin who had reportedly been slotted to play herself in the ill-fated movie.

The would-be film’s backstory could, itself, be the stuff of BHollywood fiction. The web of mystery and bad taste – replete with a cast of colorful real-life characters and bizarre unconfirmed factoids – raises more questions than answers and might even rival the JFK assassination in its enigmatic intrigue.

Too bad the movie was never made – though the strange story behind Countdown in Dallas would most likely be infinitely more watchable.

“I’m thinking this would be such a great comedy and it’s all true,” said Robert David, a sometime filmmaker whose Englewood-based CinemaLab has preserved what is believed to be the only copy of the forgotten Marina Oswald screen test.

The twisting – if not twisted – plot behind the movie project travels from Englewood to Colorado Springs to Dallas – and, oddly enough, back to Englewood again some 50 years later.

Retired 85-year-old soundman Horace Dyer of Woodland Park went to Dallas to work on the project in 1967 and was present for the Oswald screen test in Colorado Springs two years earlier.

“I didn’t think it was a crazy idea at all,” he said. “I thought it was going to happen.”

The Colorado connection

What a difference a half century makes.

Like a lot of deteriorated nitrate films, the only known footage associated with Countdown in Dallas could have been lost to history. Except for brief moments when the mystery film can was passed around as a novelty among friends in Colorado, the footage sat dormant, literally gathering dust.

But in 2008 as the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination approached, Denver marketing maven Gail Harvey finally walked into CinemaLab. The full-service laboratory, a virtual museum on film preservation, is tucked away in an industrial area of north Englewood.

Harvey had gotten the can from the late restaurateur Leo Goto, who had received it from a friend as a souvenir some years earlier after the closing of the Alexander Film Company in Colorado Springs, where the screen test was made.

The can landed on the desk of Robert David, CinemaLab’s vice president. Over the years, the cinematic sleuth had preserved

a wide range of movies and gotten to the bottom of mysteries about everything from lost silent treasures to a strange Nazi parade film inexplicably discovered in a Centennial man’s basement.

But even the wellversed David did not know what to make of an apparent screen test by a principal figure in the sordid lore of the Kennedy assassination.

“We hung onto it for a while. We didn’t know if it was real,” he said.

When Web searches proved fruitless, David sent his intern on the trail of the assassins … err, filmmakers. The intern set up a fictitious screen name and began posting on blogs and assassination-oriented websites, asking questions about a rumored Oswald movie, never letting on that a screen test had been discovIn a photo purportedly taken ered.

attractive woman.”

Although Marina was not destined for an Academy Award, her acting was evidently close enough for B movies.

In 1967, according to the recently discovered documents, Larsen offered District Attorney Wade $20,000 for use of his private files and for his “influence” in making Countdown in Dallas, a film that would star as many as 80 principals playing themselves – including Wade, himself, and the widows of Oswald and J.D. Tippit, the policeman Oswald allegedly shot in the hours after Kennedy’s murder.

Wade even partnered with former Dallas Police Chief Jesse Curry and Bob Denson, chief investigator in the Ruby trial, on a new company to facilitate the project.

Although Larsen had pitched the $250,000 movie to Wade as a surefire way to rehabilitate Dallas’s image in the years after the assassination, the director was more quietly quoted to say the film would make money, even if it were bad.

In September 1967, Larsen and his crew traveled to Dallas to shoot footage in what was most likely an effort to generate funding and advance press for the project.

The crew stopped traffic in Dealey Plaza, purportedly shooting background footage that was to emulate the fall weather of Nov. 22, 1963.

But much to Larsen’s dismay, Wade’s “influence” did little to quell massive skepticism about what was increasingly viewed as an unseemly project.

The Dallas City Council nixed Larsen’s proposal to recreate Ruby’s murder of Oswald in the police station basement. Parkland Memorial Hospital, where Kennedy was taken after the shooting, also

nixed a proposal from the director.

An executive at the Texas School Book Depository was quoted in the Dallas Times Herald as saying the movie had “left a bad taste in [his] mouth.”

Word was traveling quickly that Dallas’s image would be better left to chance than in the hands of a Bmovie director from Colorado.

“The next morning, I got a call from Joan Carson, the script girl, who said we were going home, we’re not going to do the movie,” Dyer recalled. “So we went home.”

Ruby and Oswald

Perhaps the most interesting footnote tangentially connected to Countdown in Dallas was a transcript of an alleged conversation between Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. The page of mysterious dialogue was discovered amidst other items when Wade’s safe of JFK artifacts was unearthed in 2008 by the current Dallas District Attorney Craig Watkins.

The discussion supposedly took place in Ruby’s Carousel Club on Oct. 4, 1963, less than two months before the assassination. In the dialogue, the two discuss plans to kill the president as Mafia retaliation against Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who had pointedly prosecuted organized-crime figures.

The transcript – found without notes or explanation – takes an odd place at the crossroads of fact and fiction. Because the text was discovered in Wade’s safe with a mix of real-life assassination-related artifacts and documents related to Countdown in Dallas, no one is quite sure what to make of the alleged Ruby-Oswald conversation.

For years, Wade, who died in 2001, kept quiet about his involve-

ment with the failed movie project and is not known to have mentioned the transcript to anyone. The dialogue does not appear in any known version of the screenplay.

“Some people think it’s part of the movie and others are saying this is proof that it’s a conspiracy,” David said. “If the scene is not in the script, then what is it?”

The origins of the dialogue are one of many mysteries still swirling around this generally unsolved movie mystery – one that may rival The Day the Clown Cried, Jerry Lewis’s infamously tasteless, unfinished 1972 “dramedy” about a circus entertainer who led Jewish children into the Nazi gas chambers.

Many of the mysteries surrounding Countdown in Dallas may never be solved. Larsen, who now lives in northern California, has no interest in discussing the movie, according to his son, who is also a filmmaker.

For David’s part, he says the tackiness of Larsen’s unfinished opus is remarkable, especially when one considers the ethics of a sitting district attorney profiting from an assassination docudrama.

He likens the screenplay’s craftsmanship to that of Edward Wood, the infamous director of Plan 9 From Outer Space, a movie often touted as the worst film of all time.

“The ethics were wrong. The idea was bad,” David said of Countdown in Dallas. “Nobody wants to see Marina Oswald. Did they really think they were going to make her a movie star at the height of the Cold War? The level of bad taste is astounding.”

For nearly a half century the film can containing the screen

test was passed around among an assortment of friends and associates, including longtime Denver restaurateur Leo Goto.

Justice Center unveils centralized entrance New hallway and security station connect 2 courthouses

By Peter Jones People seldom visit the Arapahoe County Justice Center to have a good time, but until recently the dreariness started well before entering the building.

“We have had many days when I’ve seen mothers with small children and elderly people in wheelchairs standing out in the snow and the rain,” 18th District Judge Charles Pratt said. “When this all became apparent to the county commissioners, they decided something needed to be done.”

Beginning this week, justice will be served a little more comfortably with the addition of a new centralized entrance to the two, now-conjoined, courthouse buildings. According to Pratt, that means more people will get inside quicker when they arrive for court dates and other judicial meetings.

“You can imagine the moods of our people, when they get to our courtrooms, are going to be much better if they’ve been warm,” the judge told a group of officials, who happened to be shivering outside the new entrance awaiting the ribbon cutting on Jan. 16. “People are already grumpy enough when they get here.”

District Attorney George

Brauchler, Undersheriff David Walcher and the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners were among those who attended – many hastening a quick closure to the 20-minute ceremony in the cold of the shaded chilly winds.

The new $5.4 million entrance and indoor hallway between Courthouse 1 and 2 is the latest part of a $27 million renovation at the Justice Center at 7325 S. Potomac St. in Centennial. In recent years, the facility has seen, among other things, 60 new courtrooms, a remodeled jury room, an expanded parking lot, a security elevator and a larger security screening station.

That last addition – situated adjacent the new entrance – is expected to mitigate some of the confusion that has arisen when people have mistakenly entered the wrong courthouse and have had to leave the building and stand in the security line – sometimes outside – for a second time.

“Frankly, it delayed things immeasurably,” Pratt said. “This will speed things up and keep justice moving quickly for everybody.”

County Commissioner Nancy Doty, who now chairs the Arapahoe Board of Commissioners, hailed the county’s decision to renovate the existing Justice Center, rather than build a $500 billion facility to meet present needs.

“The taxpayers really reaped a benefit,” she said.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Honor Guard raises the flag Jan. 16 during the dedication for the courthouse entranceway. It was the first time the flags had been raised since May 2013 when the last phase of the renovations began.

South Suburban announces Matching Gifts Program South Suburban Park and Recreation District’s Board of Directors has allocated $10,000 in its 2014 budget for its annual Matching Gifts Program. The program matches donated dollars with District funds, resulting in double the money available for the development and improvement of community parks, trails, facilities and programs.

Neighborhoods, homeowner associations, sports groups, businesses, service clubs, individuals and other community organizations are encouraged to apply for matching funds to complete their community projects on Districtowned or leased property.

South Suburban’s Matching Gifts Program is designed to

benefit a number of projects throughout the District, which serves residents of Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, western Centennial and portions of unincorporated Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe counties. Application requests for projects should not exceed $2,000. Projects submitted for consideration must be completed within 2014.

Improvements during 2013 included the planting of two pine trees near Tiffany Park; planting crabapple trees along the City of Littleton’s Crabapple Route within pubic parks; continuous maintenance of soccer field at Cornerstone Park, including goal-box repair and sod replacement; sound

system for Holly Park Sharks; twoway radios for Ben Franklin Swim Team, scoreboard repair and new signage for Lone Tree Men’s Club, and kiln repair for South Suburban’s Pottery Guild.

Requests must be submitted by Friday, March 7. Projects selected for funding will be announced at the Wednesday, April 9 meeting of the Board of Directors.

The Guidelines and Application can be downloaded, viewed at www.sspr.org or picked up at the South Suburban Administrative Office, 6631 South University Blvd. in Centennial. For more information, contact Laurie Johnson at Lauriej@sspr.org or call 303483-7009.

The sun beamed brightly on the Broncos KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

And the sun shined brightly on the Broncos family of players and fans, Jan. 19. Now onward to the Super Bowl to battle the Seattle Seahawks. I think we’ll scatter bird feathers all over that East Rutherford, N.J., stadium.

It is an interesting match up with

“Cool Handed Luke” Quarterback Peyton Manning against Clint Eastwood Gunslinger Russell Wilson.

With Manning, who almost never leaves the pocket, and Wilson, who runs all over the field, the Broncos will be chasing Wilson and hopefully he will throw some interceptions – especially to Champ Bailey who still is one of the best Broncos players to ever wear orange and blue.

If the AFC Championship brought $30 million to Denver, Broncos fans are going to take that much back to New York or more for $25 BLT’s at the Waldorf and big buck hotel rooms and meals in New York.

This is really a New York party and how ironic that both of the teams are from the West. This must be upsetting to the Eastern conference teams who were all set to play

My Birthday REMARKS

By Mort Marks

It’s January 2014 – That may mean nothing to you, but to me, January is a special month, which means that I am now officially one year older.

The newspapers on the day I was born didn’t report on my arrival because they were too busy noting that Knute Rockne had lifted Notre Dame from obscurity to football greatness by upsetting Stanford 27-10 in the Rose Bowl game of that year.

Those same papers overlooked my birth and reported instead that Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross of Wyoming had become the first woman

fewer fans that live in and around Colorado.

Brady’s bunch showed some talent toward the end of the game but it was too little, too late for the weary Patriots. They were good foes and the game appeared to be relatively clean of nonsense, unlike the later game where play was sloppy and full of turnovers and fumbles.

Manning is such a calm, dedicated leader; he keeps a lid on the team and calms their fears and joyful eruptions.

Plenty of time to celebrate after each victory and the great plum still to come Feb. 2 with the entire world watching our team.

The Orange Crush is back and here to stay for a few more years.

Hail to our great quarterbacks, both of them – John Elway and Peyton Manning!

Money can’t buy Denver and Colorado the great publicity from Sunday’s victory in balmy January weather.

The event was historic with famous names of Elway, Manning, Brady, all together in one place.

Broncos owner Pat Bowlen and wife Annabel are great team owners and they live and participate in Denver events.

They have been huge supporters of many local area charity events and have provided leadership, players, cash and awards to the nonprofit organizations they support.

The fans were superb in Sunday’s victory, cheering so loudly that it hurt one’s eardrums even with a headset over the ears. Surprisingly, there were few Patriot fans. In retrospect that shows that the New England team has far

This will allow our state to more effectively market our strengths to prospective businesses and provide more adequate training in areas where skills gaps exist.

Another priority of mine is to improve the climate for small businesses in Colorado by simplifying our sales tax regime. Although Colorado is consistently ranked among the top five states in which to do business, we fall short when comparing our hideously complex sales tax system to that of other states. My Sales Tax Simplification bill, a bipartisan co-operative effort with Rep. Kathleen Conti (R-Littleton), business groups, and local governments will make it easier for entrepreneurs to expand, hire more people, and achieve their dreams.

I am honored to serve in the Capitol and am committed to continuing to move Colorado forward together this session. I will continue to serve as Chair of the Judiciary Committee and as a member of the Finance and Legal Services Committees. I always benefit from hearing from constituents, so please don’t hesitate to contact my office at 303-866-2921 or rep kagan@gmail.com.

Guest Column Perspective: Englewood Schools on the rise Submitted by Duane Tucker, president of the Englewood Board of Education On behalf of the Englewood Board of Education, I would like to personally invite you to visit our revitalized district. Whether you’re a parent, a community member, you live nearby or across the state, or you’re a student attending an outside district, I encourage you to come see the great things that are going on in Englewood.

You’ll see a district that has improved its academic ranking dramatically over the past three years. Our state accreditation rating has gone up two levels in that time, moving from a Turnaround district to a district ranked as Accredited with Improvement. We’re not stopping here—we’re going to keep getting better. And you’re invited to see how we’re doing it.

When you visit, you’ll see our research-based instructional model, designed to aid students in learning and retaining information.

Students are engaged, thinking for themselves and are accountable for their own learning. Gone are the days where the classroom was a place of lectures and note taking.

Our students learn by doing.

You’ll also see our cutting-edge academic programs. All students in kindergarten through eighth grade have their own districtissued iPad they can use at school and at home. This, along with our other technology upgrades, is an investment in our students. Not only do they have better learning

opportunities inside the classroom, but they also have access to these tools outside of school. This is just one of the ways we are increasing the time students spend learning.

Our older students are creating innovative projects, like robots and weather balloons, in our STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) labs. They can also choose to enroll in other innovative programs such as culinary arts and hospitality, cosmetology, business, Mandarin Chinese language, broadcast journalism and more.

We’ve been adding new programs both to better prepare students for the future and also to engage them in what they are interested in right now. The evidence that students are more engaged is in our graduation rate, which is currently the highest the district has seen since the graduating class of 2006.

I hope you’ll come by to see how each and every student in Englewood gets the quality, individualized education he or she deserves. We do not use a one-sizefits-all model. As a small district, we are dynamic and flexible.

Students have more opportunities to shine and succeed, more choices in activities they can participate in, and have the support of a strong community at every step.

Come see students learning in our new high school and middle school buildings.

While new construction won’t create learning on its own, outdated facilities will no longer stand in the way

of student learning. Research shows that teaching students in state-of-the-art facilities delivers a better educational experience.

For example, our middle school students are currently occupying the renovated space that will soon be the new home of Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School. In this environment, behavior issues have noticeably declined, and student engagement in the learning process has noticeably increased.

We are committed to providing each student with the best education possible. This philosophy is proven in all of our schools, but especially at Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School, where students who feel that traditional high school doesn’t work for them find their place. Offering a family-like environment and flexible schedules has helped CFAHS become one of the top performing alternative high schools in the state.

But don’t take my word for it, come and see for yourself what’s happening. Don’t listen to those who claim to know what is going on in our schools and would have you believe that our students don’t have enough choices when it comes to learning. I invite you to visit and decide for yourself, then let me know if you think our students aren’t getting a top-notch, individualized education right now.

Please write an email to julie_ mcginley@englewood.k12.co.us if you’d like to make an appointment to stop by. We’d love to have you.

Doty to chair Board of Commissioners Other first-termers also take key roles this year

By Peter Jones Newcomers to the Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners will play key roles this year.

First-term Commissioner Nancy Doty, R-Centennial, will chair the board in 2014. Fellow board members approved Doty’s nomination Jan. 14 and also appointed Commissioners Bill Holen, D-Aurora, and Nancy Jackson, D-Aurora, as the board’s chair pro tem and finance officer, respectively.

Doty, who was elected in westernmost District 1 in 2012, is serving her first term on the board. She served as chair pro tem last year. For the previous nine years, Doty was the elected clerk and recorder, overseeing county elections, among other functions. Last year, she said she

Letters to the Editor Tancredo will lead Colorado forward

The race for the Republican nomination for governor has just begun and already we are seeing the seeds of discord. Tom Tancredo, former Congressman, former Reagan and Bush appointee to head the Region 8 office of the Department of Education, and former executive director of the Independence Institute, suggested a non-aggression pledge among Republican candidates for the same office. He suggested that Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment - to speak ill of no other Republican - would be of great benefit when the winner of the primary election, whomever that might be, ran against John Hickenlooper in the general election later this fall. To date no other candidate has signed Tom’s pledge, and sadly the sniping has already begun.

It is apparent that Tom Tancredo is the front-runner in this intraparty kerfuffle because he seems to be damned if he does... and damned if he doesn’t. Case in point: he is being criticized for his stance on intraparty debates, which certainly leads to attack headlines. He has been criticized for gaining ballot access in 2010 after both Republican candidates crashed and burned, and Tom

Tancredo was the only viable candidate left standing. Tom has a long history of public service as a teacher, a legislator (both state and federal) and an executive department head at the national level, yet he has been criticized a not being prepared to be Governor. One of the candidates actually suggested that Tom Tancredo was a “selfless hero” in 2010 but now a “two-time loser” all in the space of just four years. Kind of amazing.

Tom Tancredo is a well-known quantity, has a solid set of conservative principles, and will answer any question put to him.

You might not like the answer but you will always have an answer. Tom’s overarching issue in this campaign is education, which includes school choice, charter schools more parental and student choices, personal responsibility and accountability, and equal opportunity instead of equal outcomes. Tom is also ready and willing to take on the federal government and create a 10th Amendment Caucus of like-minded Governors who are tired of our overreaching federal government bludgeoning us and with our own money. It is time to point out to the feds the conditional limits of federal power, and to remind them of the rights of both the states and individual citizens, which continue to be

trampled by big brother.

Tom Tancredo is a leader who will begin the process of leading Colorado forward to prosperity and opportunity for all of our citizens. His motto says it all: Freedom to live your life. Viva Tancredo.

Hooray for my local newspaper

Bob, Oh how I love the “printed word.”

Your column this week affirms my personal and sometimes outspoken support of a medium that some say is dying. I begin my day with a “thank you for another day” and a quiet time reading my two favorite newspapers. I love the touch, feel, smell and pleasure of the printed word. I can’t imagine a life without books, newspapers and magazines cluttering up my house. I will continue on my mission to preserve, protect and revere the newspaper. I believe our generation has the responsibility to “speak up” and lead the way. It’s right up there...with the American flag and Apple Pie for me.

LPS moving forward after tragedy

By Tom Barry On Jan. 16, the Littleton Schools Board of Education met for the first time in 2014.

After meeting in executive session, Superintendent Scott Murphy took a few moments in the packed house to share personal comments about the recent Arapahoe High School shooting incident. “There were many heroes on Dec. 13, whether they were first responders, staff members or students, and I want to acknowledge their courage and bravery at Arapahoe High School,â€? he said. “I’ve been awestruck by the love and support that’s shown toward one another ‌ I could never, as I know everyone here, could be more proud of the group of people and of this community for what they have done. It takes courage to overcome darkness and reveal the light within us. ‌ We have so many people that gather together to strengthen us.â€?

achievements.

The superintendent also presented formal awards to the district’s volunteers who led the successful 3B campaign.

The Villager will be providing additional coverage of the awards in an upcoming issue.

The board then moved to more formal discussions, approving the Building Fund Supplemental Bud-

Field Elementary and academic equality

Moving forward

The subject eventually turned to the $80 million bond issue that passed last November. “[The 3B campaign] was one of the most impressive campaigns of Littleton Public Schools,� Murphy said. “It passed by an impressive 60 percent,�

Murphy noted schools that received the John Irwin School of Excellence awards and then spent a good part of a half hour acknowledging their respective

get Appropriation that allowed the district to approve the expenditure of the bond funds.

In refinancing its bonds, LPS reduced the interest rate to 2.9 percent from 5.2 percent. The district will continue to pay the same mill levy as they have in recent past.

It was announced that Jacobs Engineering Group would lead remodeling efforts. The district and Jacobs, which have worked together previously, agreed to a financial cap.

LPS Superintendent Scott Murphy speaks to the Board and those in attendance about the Arapahoe High School incident.

An enthusiastic group of staff, along with a handful of parents and several children from Field Elementary School, attended the meeting on a “school night.� Everyone from the school was recognized with applause from the crowd.

Five members of the Field staff addressed the board about the extensive efforts the school is making to ensure academic success.

The “Key Actions for the Field Initiative,� a plan to meet the academic challenges for the school’s nearly 400 students, were detailed.

The school has a minority population of 68 percent, with 41 percent being second-language learners. The district provides many students a nutritious breakfast and lunch to assist in promoting a positive learning environment.

The Villager will follow up on the school’s progress in a future story.

CDOT education campaign seeks to change driving habits of mountain visitors For those who dream of a day when Interstate 70 traffic coming out of the mountains isn’t bumper-to-bumper, the Colorado Department of Transportation is launching a campaign in conjunction with the Martin Luther King holiday weekend to encourage mountain visitors to minimize delay by playing longer in the mountains. The driving force behind the campaign, dubbed “Change Your Peak Time,� is that most high country enthusiasts opt to return to the Denver area at the same time on weekends and holidays. The tagline, “Press Play, Avoid Delay� encourages travelers to spend an extra hour having fun in the mountains instead of spending an extra hour in peak traffic. “Once people better understand that they have the choice of how to spend their time, we think they will avoid the downhill gridlock and choose to play in the mountains for longer,� said Amy Ford, CDOT Director of Communications. CDOT has partnered with the I-70 Coalition, a consortium representing the mountain communities and resorts, to give travel tips and travel forecasts, and to offer discounts, deals and incentives for travelers interest-

ed in avoiding traffic by staying in the mountains for an extra hour or two.  Peak Time Deals at www. goi70.com are updated regularly, and list locations of restaurants, entertainment options and retailers along the I-70 corridor offering weekend discounts. In addition to deals offered near resorts, Idaho Springs and Georgetown also offer incentives for travelers who want to leave early to beat the peak traffic, or who have already hit the road but would like to take a break from traffic on their way home. The campaign also encourages safe driving on winter roads. Tips like giving snowplow drivers extra room, and checking your windshield washer fluid levels and tire levels before you hit the highway, can be found at http://www. coloradodot.info/travel/winterdriving, along with real-time road conditions and travel advisories. For more information on the “Change Your Peak Time� campaign, visit www.goi70. com. Real time travel information is available at www. cotrip.org and by downloading the CDOT Mobile app on your smartphone.

What will we reflect on together a decade from now? Let’s resolve to write together the history of a prosperous and unparalleled quality of life in South Metro Denver. Today is a great day to start!

The popular Gambler’s Choice event utilized the colorful handmade jump that had been signed by her friends and classmates at the celebration of life memorial on New Year’s Day at the Events Center. Just last year, the loved and respected equestrian rode in an event at the Stock Show. Davis was scheduled to ride again this year.

A check for $6,000 was presented to Mike and Desiree Davis at the end of the Gambler’s Choice event in a formal ceremony on the grounds of the competition. A color guard on horseback was adjacent the presentation ceremony by the National Western Stock Show.

Centennial retirement community bringing companionship to seniors Submitted by Chuck Montera he volunteers range in age from their late 70s to 100 years old, but their mission is the same: to provide companionship to fellow seniors through regularly scheduled visits.

Through a program called Seniors Visiting Seniors, a group of dedicated companion ambassadors living at the Someren Glen Retirement Community in Centennial visit fellow residents to provide camaraderie and keep them informed about local happenings.

“While the talk may be small, the benefits are huge,” said ambassador Al Long, who was one of the first Someren Glen residents to volunteer for Seniors Visiting Seniors. “You can tell by their eyes that they are enjoying my visit.”

Seniors Visiting Seniors was the brainchild of local Realtor Jim Holmes with Keller Williams Realty DTC and his assistant, Christine Watson.

Their real estate practice specializes in working with seniors and approximately 75 percent of their clients are seniors. They came up with the concept after realizing they could fulfill two needs.

“I realized there are many seniors who experience down days for various reasons and could use a visit while sharing their stories, and others who are active and want to make a difference, so I decided to bring these two groups together and

T

Seniors Visiting Seniors was born,” Holmes said.

Holmes’ 100-year-old aunt Hilah Allison was interested in being a companion to fellow residents when he approached her with the idea. She has lived at Someren Glen for six years.

Holmes then contacted Anna Marie Connor, Someren Glen’s director of community life, and asked if she would help identify residents who would be open to visits from their neighbors.

Connor got the word out and immediately identified 26 residents who longed for new friendships and visits.

“It’s so important for seniors to keep connected and be an active part of a community rather than being isolated,” said Connor. “What’s great about Jim’s program is that it’s selfsufficient and doesn’t take time away from me or my staff.”

After being assigned people to visit, each of the ambassadors keep their own schedules, book their own appointments and meet as a group to monitor their progress.

“It’s a labor of love,” said ambassador Jan Charter. “I love people and I’ll talk as long or as little as the person I’m visiting wants. Sometimes the conversation is only 20 minutes and other times we’ll talk for over an hour, it just depends on what they need.”

“It made sense to launch Seniors Visiting Seniors at Someren Glen because I knew Ann Marie, my aunt Hilah lives there and she was able to help me recruit other ambassadors,” said Holmes. “I feel every senior who wants a job or wants to volunteer should be able to do that. It’s those kinds of activities that keep them healthy

mentally and physically.”

The success of the program has emboldened Holmes and Watson to consider expanding their program to other retirement communities.

“Christine and I are happy to help launch Seniors Visiting Seniors in any retirement community that may be interested,” said Holmes. “It’s a great way to engage those seniors who may not have family nearby who can visit, it allows seniors to live a more engaged and connected life, and it gives seniors the opportunity to improve the lives of their fellow residents through the simple act of conversation.”

Anyone interested in Seniors Visiting Seniors can contact Jim Holmes at 303-475-7249 and Christine Watson at 720-8338542 or by email at jimholmes@ kw.com or chriswatson@

The April 26 Families First Steppin’ Out on Broadway brought out faux stars of the Broadway stage to help close the gap between what referring agencies pay per child being treated at the residential treatment center and what it costs to provide those services. With the Broadway play theme in mind we met princesses, greasers, poodle skirted, pony tailed sock hoppers, many Phantoms of the Opera and a few hippies, making for a fun evening. Greenwood Villager Nancy Bernstein took home the Friend of the Children Award for her dedication to Families First. Nancy and hubby John sponsored Steppin’ Out fundraisers for four years.

May Day! On May 1 much of Colorado endured a 12-hour blizzard. You’d never have known it by the attendance at the DCPA Hattitude benefit as guests showed up in full regalia at the Seawell Ballroom, and if there was a single empty seat we didn’t see it.

This is the couture chapeau society soiree of the season benefiting the Women’s Voices Fund effort to increase the number of plays written by women who have been vastly under-represented in the American theatrical scene.

Kent Thompson, producing artistic director, said that other cities across the nation are now copying the idea.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Man & Woman of the Year was warm, touching and a more than 400 guest success.

Remember the adage that an adult should never share the stage with kids or pets as they are scene stealers?

That proved true as the Boy & Girl of the Year were absolutely charming, cute and almost joined at the hip with an attachment that began when the two were in treatment. Girl of the Year, Bella Hicks, 6, held hands with Boy of the Year Addison Kleinmans throughout the ceremonies.

They rode bikes together down the halls during treatment at Children’s Hospital.

Honoring Denver Broncos owner and Cherry Hills Villager Pat Bowlen with the Community Enrichment Award helped attract 2,200 people to the Mizel Institute’s Gala Dinner at Wings Over the Rockies, May 22.

Bowlen chairs the Denver Broncos Charities board which to date had doled out more than $25 million to metro Denver area nonprofits since its inception in

Leukemia & Lymphoma Boy of the Year Addison Kleinhaus and Girl of the Year Bella Hicks File photos by Glory Weisberg 1993.

Gov. John Hickenlooper, a past Mizel Institute honoree, said, “I’m governor of the Broncos nation.”

The Hospice of St. John had its annual Mad Hatter Tea Party, May 19, attracting lots of kids who competed with incredibly elegant cakes for photo ops. The cakes were created by professional bakers and decorated in the theme of the Mad Hatter Tea Party with spades, hearts, clovers and diamond shapes made for a very live auction.

There they were,

Barb Reece bidding against good friend Martha Jentz. Among the battling bidders were Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons, Arlene and Don Johnson and Mort Marks.

As the bidding war intensified one person paid $475 for a cake that was topped with a ceramic teapot.

The picture of the hospice faded before year’s end with questions about finances as they first shut down their home hospice program, then the hospice itself. There were thinly veiled inferences but nothing concrete by year’s end, just a bad taste in the mouth of some cakeeating supporters.

When honorees for the 2013 Le Bal de Ballet Debutante Ball were presented, June 8 they entered the presentation stage with a backdrop of The Secret Garden, the title of a 1911 novel by Frances Hodgson Burnettt which is now a ballet itself.

Debbie Raeder chaired the ball and Hillary Adams was co-chair and she will chair the 2014 ball.

Ellen Bywaters was honorary 2013 chair and Susan Struna is Denver Ballet Guild president. They were in the official receiving line as Dr. Toby Cole emceed the presentation at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

Following the presentation ceremony honorees, escorts, parents and guests dined and danced at the Denver Downtown Sheraton Hotel.

This was perhaps the last presentation ball requiring deb gowns have shoulder straps, a bow to conservative images of the honorees that were in the traditional sense, “coming out” as marriageable.

Today’s honorees and the Young Men of Distinction go on to college and careers before considering tying the knot, so to speak.

Cherry Hills Villagers Mary and Kevin McNicholas were honored with a rare Papal Blessing at the Little Sisters of the Poor 95th Anniversary Gala at the Colorado History Center.

This was not a particularly good year for local nonprofit guilds as several continued the ongoing trend of closing with funds given to their parent nonprofit. Such was the case as AWARE merged with the Alzheimer’s Association last summer. Helen Ginsburg was the driving force and founder of the volunteer group. Their annual Memories Lost and Found came to a

close as the illness itself marches on.

Researchers are continuing to follow leads, trying to pinpoint how one’s memories fade to gray. Keeping active with one’s community, using expository thinking and even trudging on to figure out how to do new things seem to help. The Junior Symphony Guild was created by young Denver Symphony supporters back a few decades ago.

This past February it morphed into Inside the Orchestra with maestro Tom Jenkins continuing to whip the air with his baton for smallfry.

Etiquette

In the June 13, 2013, GloryUs Goings On Etiquette column, we took on texting while driving as bad etiquette, not only bad but in growing cases, deadly as distracted drivers played bumper cars on our avenues and interstates. It’s officially called distracted driving by policing

agencies handing out tickets and yes, it’s provable by using the texter’s own call log and moment of impact to show a “connection,” shall we say?

Town Hall with Dr. Richard Kogan

Dr. Richard Kogan will be visiting Town Hall of Denver, Feb. 6, to present a fascinating lecture and piano recital addressing the life of Ludwig Von Beethoven and the effects of his deafness on his mind and his music. We all know Beethoven was brilliant and now you will see and hear why!

For those who do not know, Richard Kogan was a child prodigy and student at Julliard from the age of six. He went on to Harvard where his roommate was Yo Yo Ma. The two became great friends and musical colleagues and teamed up with fellow student/violinist, Lynn Chang to form a trio throughout school. Richard completed a double major in pre-med and music for his undergraduate work. He went on to Harvard Medical School while continuing his musical training and then to NYU for an additional degree in Psychiatry. He has a full time private practice, is chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Cornell Weill Medical Center, Director of the Cornell Music and Medicine Program and finds time to play at least 100 concerts a year while helping raise a family of three children.

CCRW kicks off year with Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton

By Scottie

C

Flair!

T I aylor verson

herry Creek Republican Women launched 2014 with a fiscal responsibility and education theme and who better to address those than Colorado’s own Treasurer Walker Stapleton? Stapleton was elected in 2010 and took office on Jan. 11, 2011. He is the only Republican statewide official up for re-election in 2014. He is an elected executive officer in the Colorado government and is the state’s chief financial officer overseeing the Department of the Treasury that acts as the government’s bank as well as managing the state’s investment funds and disbursements. He holds a BA from Williams College, a Master’s from the London School of Economics and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.

Stapleton believes in the future of education, but is concerned about the amount of every school district’s contribution to the pension system (1/5).

“If there is an increase in revenue, it should go where it belongs – in the classroom. Colorado is an economically responsible state and fiscally conservative,” he said.

This is evident with the overwhelming defeat of Amendment 66. When Stapleton was no longer invited to attend anymore meetings as a trustee of PERA (Public Employees’ Retirement Association) and denied requested information, he hit the road. He traveled speaking to 50 Rotary groups, newspaper editorial boards, teachers and rooms full of Democrats – speaking to anyone who would listen and it paid off.

“We have an opportunity to take back the state of Colorado whether Democrat or Independent. The Rate of Return is the linchpin of everything. You cannot deny a math problem,” he said.

Stapleton emphasized the element of common sense, equality of information and mentioned that even Gov. Hickenlooper has joined forces for transparency. The treasurer attended a conference in North Dakota where he learned each citizen received a return. Quite a contrast with the public workers in Michigan.

In addition, Cherry Creek School District essay competition winners were presented by essay contest chair Mary Conroy.

“It was impressive to hear such profound thoughts from middle school students,” said Conroy about the 80 entries. “These overall winners achieved their ranking not only because of their sensitive and wellcrafted essays but because of their resounding oratorical skills.”

The title of the Essay Competition was: ‘What is Veterans Day and Why Should We Observe It?’ CCRW was treated to the readings by the top three overall winners. Excerpts from their dramatic deliveries follow.

Jack Stevenson, 3rd Place, stated: “Veterans Day shouldn’t be just a day; it should be celebrated all throughout the year. The people that we are honoring gave their lives for us, some lost their limbs and some escaped injury but…they served our country and deserve our respect.

Who are heroes? We often think of heroes as peers, famous athletes even teachers and parents. However, the heroes we honor on Veterans Day are different because some of them… gave up their lives so we could enjoy life as we know it. One day as I was walking through a hallway I saw a poster of a veteran who had lost both legs and an arm. The caption under the picture read ‘Regrets…I have none.’ This made me realize even more that veterans who have been severely injured in a war don’t think about their own losses. They don’t feel sorry for themselves because they know it was worth fighting for freedom and justice.”

Jack urged projects – raising money for troops and veterans, sending care packages to those serving, thanking them for sacrifices, and reiterating the theme we need to honor these heroes every day.

Cherry Hills Village contemplates open space

By Jan Wondra In a city of sprawling estates, verdant pastures, wooded glens and a wandering High Line Canal, it might seem odd that Cherry Hills Village needs to discuss the matter of open space.

But City Council’s consideration of where to invest its limited city funds and whether to proceed cautiously or aggressively to protect the remaining 58 acres of private open space within its limits, are key issues. The Jan. 7 public hearing revealed strong support for acquisition from its committees and silence from its generally reserved residents.

“The key question is, ‘What is open space?’” said Councilman Scott Roswell in the City Council study session prior to the public hearing. “Funding is critical.

I’m wondering if we should have a ballot initiative and let our citizens tell us about what to fund and how to fund it. In addition to open space, we have other responsibilities...services to provide.”

City Councilman Alex Brown said, “I’ve heard a lot about open space, but I haven’t heard a lot about view preservation.

This might require some outside technical help. Our position as a city has been more reactive than proactive, though we have a master plan. Is it being reactive ,waiting for opportunity to knock on the door really the best approach?”

“My biggest concern is how

do we balance our coffers,” said Councilman Mark Griffin. “I’d like to get my arms around how to allocate money [to open space].”

“We’ve had great success with private partners who have helped us,” said Mayor Pro Tem Russell Stewart. “The key question is, how to frame a ballot initiative and the other issue is undergrounding power lines.”

Cherry Hills Village has five years left of its obligation to free its portion of The High Line Canal from the oversight of South Suburban Recreation District.

“In the past, we thought we needed a specific property to talk about when asking for money,” said Councilwoman Klasina VanderWerf. “When we left South Suburban, we told the citizens that once free of that obligation, the money would go toward open space. I don’t think we’ve got the right to ask yet.”

With plenty of advance notice, a few interested citizens showed up to a public hearing otherwise well-attended by members of the Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee and the Cherry Hills Land Preserve.

“The key questions posed to the public,” said Mayor Doug Tisdale, “What approach should the Village take to open space acquisitions? Should it be strategic or opportunistic? How should it address the question of funding, and how should it go to the voters? And lastly, what about view corridors; should this be a priority and, if so, are we talking

about acquisition or protect [of view corridors].”

“The chronology of the Land Preserve has been to understand our commitment to and our bond with the land,” said Stephanie Bleher, co-president of the Cherry Hills Land Preserve. “Since 1970, every master plan has talked about the preservation of open space. We have only five or six properties that have not been divided. People take for granted that they will stay that way, but this is not guaranteed. We have a shared responsibility and the funds we have now may not be enough.”

“The struggle is our funding priorities for open space,” said former City Councilwoman Harriet LaMair, who is Cherry Hills Land Preserve director of Land Protection. “The question will be, has all the village spoken? what do our citizens want us to do with the money? You’ve been elected to make those decisions, I hope you won’t defer this decision.”

VanderWerf said, “Every single person on this City Council ran and was elected on their support of open space initiatives.”

“There are four main components for action,” said LaMair. “First there is the framework to work with the private sector. There was a survey and a Blue Ribbon Study, preceding the Master Plan. There is willingness to step forward and represent the interests of the

Village and the landowners before the developers show up. Now we need to do advance planning to create a framework for success.

PTRC did an open space inventory, with prioritization for how well the open space matched open space criteria. So did the Land Preserve, and priorities meshed. Some projects are higher priority; we think PTRC should do long term plan for Little Dry Creek, for instance.

“I’m shocked that you think that you need a vote to find out what our citizens want. I don’t think we can scream any louder that what makes the Village THE Village is open space. I certainly think I’ve heard the citizens loud and clear.”

Stewart said, “There are very few true open spaces left. Time is running out on them. They may be gone by 2019 when our payments to South Suburban end.

If our goal is to maximize those we know are vulnerable, this has to be thoughtful.”

“We’ve been reactive,” said Roswell. “We’ve got to get proactive and plan...if we don’t take stock of those opportunities, they are going to pass us by.”

The possibility of another public hearing, perhaps in February, regarding open space was raised, with no decision made during the council meeting.

“What are the land parcels, big, open, natural?” said Tisdale.

“Not every open space is of equal.

Civic communicators is going to be important.”

Englewood police investigate bomb threat

By Peter Jones Police are investigating a bomb threat that was called into the Sports Authority corporate headquarters in Englewood on Jan. 20.

The call threatening to blow up the building in 30 minutes was made to the retailer’s large secured office complex at 1050 E. Hampden Ave. around 4 p.m. The building was searched, but no explosives were found, Englewood Police Sgt. Brian Cousineau reported.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Denver Sheriff’s Office K9 Bomb Unit were both called to the scene.

The offices were released back to normal operations around 7:40 p.m.

The motive for the threat remains unclear.

By Tom Barry The contractor for the Colorado Department of Transportation has completed most of the major punch lists for the project at University Boulevard and Belleview Avenue.

A banner for Broncos fans

The Norton family shopped at the new Broncos Locker store for Taylor, 4, visiting from Orange County, Calif.

Team opens new Broncos Locker in Centennial

By Tom Barry he cash registers are ringing up purchases of Broncos memorabilia by loyal fans throughout the country, especially in the Mile High City and surrounding communities.

That’s after the Broncos soundly defeated Tom Brady and his Patriots, 26–16, on Jan. 19 to attain the highly prized American Football Conference Championship.

The team is now headed for the Super Bowl in New Jersey.

The Broncos established a business relationship with Gameday Merchandising in Littleton in 2010. The hometown company runs the three Broncos stores and currently works with 16 teams, including two colleges, two MLB and five NBA teams. The Broncos are the only NFL team on the Gameday roster.

Gameday manages and operates the massive 6,000 square-foot store at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, a tourist attraction that has been open year-round selling authentic NFL items since the sta-

T

dium opened in 2001.

The most popular items bear the names of Peyton Manning, Wes Welker, Von Miller and Eric Decker in that order, according to Scott Franklin, who manages the Broncos stores for Gameday.

“The Stadium, by far, is the highest volume location,” Franklin said.

Gameday’s retail centers sell items ranging from $1 to $2,000.

The Dove Valley store will be expanding as the team constructs an enhanced training facility slated to open next fall. Gameday also operates a makeshift store open to the public during training camp.

A third facility has been open seasonally at Streets at SouthGlenn, but for the last three years, the temporary facility has operated at Centennial Promenade, just north of Park Meadows.

The Broncos now have another permanent home at the Promenade. In August, the team opened the Broncos Locker, a 1,500 square-foot store at 7615 E. County Line Road.

The team, its coaches and staff, along with their families,

have purchased their own Broncos items at the store, receiving a standard discount.

“I’ve not met Manning,” Franklin said, “but I’ve met his wife and kids. They actually come into the store in Centennial on occasion.”

The Broncos Locker is jampacked with orange and blue merchandise and some hard-to-find NFL items.

“We went to [several sportinggoods chain stores] looking for a shirt that would fit [my 5-year-old daughter],” said customer Skip Spear. “She has been dying for a Broncos T-shirt and I promised I would get her one.”

Young Adalee left smiling with an orange shirt with the team’s logo.

The Centennial store had a steady stream of customers in anticipation of the weekend’s big game. On Jan. 18, the store experienced its busiest day in six months. Shoppers that had been to other retailers in search of Broncos gear said the prices ranged from a little less than the competition to slightly higher.

The O’Haras have built a

Broncos-themed “man cave” for their son.

“I was looking for a shirt for my son and there’s a million other things I’ve seen,” said Pam O’Hara, wearing her No. 56 Broncos jersey. “Prices are very comparable [at the Broncos Locker] unless you want to go to [a major

retailer] and get garbage.”

All the Broncos stores have a plentiful supply of Broncos Tshirts, hats, coats and other items to commemorate the AFC victory and the impending Super Bowl XLVIII. The items will be replenished as much as possible with the high demand.

Colorado’s Girl Scout Cookie Program runs through March 2, with booth sales in front of major retail locations starting Feb. 7. Each purchase of Girl Scout Cookies supports girls in developing five lifelong skills: goalsetting, decision-making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

In 1917, Girl Scouts began selling cookies, and today the program has grown into a $790 million girl-led business, making it the largest in the country.

In fact, last year Colorado Girl Scouts earned $2.51 million for their activities, such as going to camp, traveling domestically or internationally, completing a Take Action project to benefit the

“Girl Scout Cookie time is all about teaching girls lifelong busi-

ness skills,” said Stephanie Foote, president and CEO of Girl Scouts of Colorado. “The proceeds from these girl-led businesses go to fund all the adventures you get to have as a Girl Scout.”

Girl Scout Cookies cost $4 per package and all money raised supports girls in Girl Scouts of Colorado. Customers have the option to pay by credit card if the Girl Scout is participating in that program. This year Girl Scouts in Colorado will sell the six most popular Girl Scout Cookie varieties, including Do-si-Dos, Samoas, Savannah Smiles, Tagalongs, Thin Mints and Trefoils.

All Girl Scout Cookie varieties contain zero grams of trans fat per serving and the Do-si-Dos, Savannah Smiles and Trefoils have no hydrogenated oils. Further information about Girl Scout Cookie ingredients can be found at www.littlebrownie.com.

A SPECTRUM RETIREMENT COMMUNIT Y HP Villager 1 9 23 14

By Peter Jones As rumor has it, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber were mulling a new musical version of Peter Pan before they finally settled on the life of the beloved Argentinean first lady Eva Peron.

If that is true, it is little wonder that the fabled Peron nearly flies across the stage in Evita.

Like so many revived musicals, Evita has gradually become more of a sensory experience of memorable tunes than an involving narrative told in song. The pop opera’s emotion lies in its singing and production values.

Aside form the cinematic visuals atop the stage, casting is almost everything in a presentation such as this.

Fortunately, Caroline Bowman has the pipes. It is hard to imagine a more intimidating feat for a stage singer-actress than to stand on a ledge in full costume and iconic blond hair bun while belting, “Don’t cry for me, Argentina …” That’s a far cry from Bowman’s role as ‘50s gumchewing Rizzo in a touring revival of Grease.

The only Madonna here are the occasional references to the Virgin Mary.

Josh Young is equally formidable as the fictional Che, Evita’s sardonic narrator who cheers and eggs Peron on as she rises – too quickly for my tastes – from a 15-year-old peasant waif who sleeps her way into show business to the formally titled “Spiritual Leader of the Nation of Argentina.”

Along the way, Mrs. Peron gets reviled by the elite, the mili-

tary and the powers of international diplomacy, but is adored by her legions of “shirtless” fans – even as her husband, President Juan Peron, is derided as a fascist.

Meanwhile, Che keeps the nicknamed Evita in her place, flailing – sometimes in a sort of surreal dream state – his Greek chorus of accusations, much as Judas Iscariot stuck it to Jesus in Rice-Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar (a role for which Young, not coincidently, won a Tony in his Broadway debut).

Some may quibble with Evita’s historical conjecture. But at least the revival tour now playing the Buell Theater has returned Che to his original everyman position as first written, dropping the conceit of a fictionalized Che Guevara, the true-life revolutionary who never met this production’s chief protagonist.

Others may debate the sincerity of Mrs. Peron’s charitable fundraising and the nature of Jesus’s relationship with Mary Magdalene – but if either is sung well and staged creatively, everything’s alright with me.

Evita plays the Buell Theater at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts through Jan. 26. Tickets start at $25. Call 303-893-4100 or visit www.denvercenter. org. Tickets can also be purchased at the ticket office located in the Helen Bonfils Theater Complex lobby, Speer Boulevard and Arapahoe Street.
