By Tom Barry New Year’s Day began with an exceptional tribute to Claire Esther Davis with a Memorial Celebration of Life at the National

Western Stock Show Events Center.

More than 4,000 people, including Claire’s parents, classmates, members of the Arapahoe

High School community, equestrians, government officials and people from throughout Colorado came to pay their respects during the special three-hour service.

Everyone was each given an envelope containing a color photo card of Claire and her horse, which on the back had a quote from Lebanese writer Kahlil Gi-

bran. Also included was an envelope with a pledge card encouraging contributions to the Arapahoe Continued on pages 2-3

Retiring Centennial council bids adieu, new members sworn in

By Peter Jones If any of Centennial’s four outgoing members of City Council thought they would be able to make practical use of the large ceremonial street signs that had been created in their honor, they had another thing coming from Mayor Cathy Noon.

“If you see any of these going up on their street, that would not be authorized. Just sayin,’” the Five Centennial City Council members were sworn in this week. From left District 4’s C.J. mayor said with a laugh.

Columbine United Church Rev. Dr. Steve Poos-Benson was the master of ceremonies.

“Claire Davis represents all children who have died a tragic death,” he said. “… Claire loved kindness and laughter.”

The pastor asked

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson to stand as he thanked law enforcement for its exceptional efforts, along with first-responders from the metropolitan area.

School Resource Officer James Englert, who is credited with a heroic effort in his

Colorado’s Olympic swimming champion Missy Franklin addressed the gathering with her warm and compassionate style. Her family home in Centennial is just five minutes away from AHS. “I’ve lived in the same community since I was 8 months old – and watching the community, our community, come together during these times brings pride to my heart,” Franklin said. “I am so proud to say where I’m from because where I come from is made up of people like you and people like Claire.”

In a very touching moment, Mike and Desiree Davis, Claire’s parents, stood at the podium as the couple The Claire Davis Memorial Celebration of Life was ticketed to ensure everyone would have a seat.

“The world was a better place with her in it, and the world has truly lost a shining light,” said Mike Davis, adding that his daughter “was in the arms of angels.”

Claire’s last words were, “Oh my gosh, Karl, what are you doing?” her father said, recounting how witnesses said she had spoken to the shooter before being shot herself at point-blank range.

The killer then took his own life in an ordeal that lasted 80 seconds.

“Karl allowed himself to become filled with anger, rage and hatred,” Mike Davis said of shooter Karl Pierson. “… The fact is that Karl was so blinded by his emotions, he didn’t know what he was doing

Forgiveness requested

As Mike Davis spoke, there was not a dry eye in the house.

“My wife and I forgive Karl Pierson for what he did because he didn’t know what he was doing,” Davis said emotionally. “We would ask all of you here and all of your watching [on television] to search your hearts and also forgive Karl Pierson.

He didn’t know what he was doing … The last thing that Desiree and I would want is to perpetuate this anger and rage and hatred in connection with Claire. Claire would also not want this.”

Davis encouraged everyone to reach out to troubled and isolated individuals. He, along with the pastor, asked students to notify someone in a responsible position if they are concerned about any student’s action or statements about harming

others.

“We would like to ask you to join us and honor Claire by forever showing compassion, forgiveness, inducing whatever is within your power to reach out to those around you that might need the light of your love to help guide them to through the darkness,” Davis said with tears in his eyes. “… Claire was full of life and love. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She loved to laugh. She laughed with her entire being and she made other people laugh freely and without reserve.”

A slideshow produced by Claire’s friends showed photos of her as a baby through her teenage years.

Claire’s horse trainer, Rebecca Johnson, talked about a special relationship the two equestrians enjoyed. She once called her a “fluffy rainbow child,” thus her eventual nickname, “FRC.” The trainer also said that Claire always gave her best effort when riding in competition.

Three of Claire’s best friends shared personal and humorous events, which brought some smiles to the quiet crowd. Claire’s boyfriend, Alex Chapman, noted some funny things about her and read a recent application she had filled out

Friends of Claire Davis sing “Amazing Grace.”

CDOT makes strides in University and Belleview construction Replacement of cracked concrete panels continues

T

By Tom Barry he Colorado Department of Transportation is wrapping up major construction work at the intersection of University Boulevard and Belleview Avenue.

Major rebuilding of the heavily traveled intersection began last spring, compounding an already congested crossing point near the Denver Tech Center, retail centers and residential neighborhoods.

The construction activity became politicized once Gov. John Hickenlooper became directly involved after the issue was brought to the forefront during a monthly radio show. The construction was expedited due to complaints of area residents in Greenwood Vil-

lage and Cherry Hills Village, according to individuals familiar with the project who requested anonymity.

CDOT subcontractor Jalisco International had several crews working extended hours to complete major rebuilding efforts with part of the work conducted during the evening. The expedited activity continued through Christmas Eve as quick-curing concrete pads were poured and other major work was finished.

Early on, crews had to contend with extremely cold temperatures and other weather-related construction challenges.

“CDOT will have varying daily single-lane closures at University and Belleview this week to begin the removal and replacement of cracked concrete panels and for construction of the median on the east side of the intersection,” said Crystal Morgan, a CDOT spokeswoman. “At night, we will begin

placement of the new traffic signals at the intersection. This work will not be done during peak travel times.”

The state agency is responsible for traffic control at the intersection.

Upon completion of the project, Cherry Hills Village will reinstall its red-light camera equipment. To date, there is no definitive timeline when that installation will occur.

Work at the intersection restarted this week. There is no exact timetable as to when most of the construction work will be completed. The majority of the largerscale work should be completed in the next few weeks or sooner, weather permitting, according to officials.

The original completion date posted was March 2014. Due to winter weather issues, the landscaping elements will occur in the spring.

Littleton police on road to e-ticketing Court surcharge to pay for traffic program

By Peter Jones Speeding in Littleton will be even quicker – especially when you get caught.

The City Council has approved a $7 municipal-court surcharge to fund a new e-ticketing program that will allow police officers to speedily swipe a driver’s license and issue an e-ticket, instead of writing one out manually.

“It has been an emerging technology,” said Mayor Pro Tem Bruce Beckman, a retired Littleton police officer. “We actually tried it about 12 years ago, but the technology just wasn’t going to be where it needed to be.”

The program requested by the police department is not expected to be fully implemented until

early 2015. Once introduced, it promises to offer a quicker and smoother process when police pull over drivers for traffic violations.

“These are wonderful timesaving things if they work, and I hope that the department is going to be successful with it,” Beckman said. “It comes down to the realities of trying to see the LCD screen in sunlight.”

Last month, the council approved $175,000 to begin the program and purchase the necessary software. The $7 surcharge – or the Littleton Police Technology Fund – will be culled from parties to all municipal criminal and traffic court cases.

Such a fund created specifically for traffic tickets has been a concern for Beckman, who as a career police officer has long heard citizen complaints that tied

ticketing to revenue collection. At Beckman’s request, the city staff is investigating ways to ease concerns over how Littleton collects the surcharge.

“I believe it should go into the general revenue of the city. That way, it isn’t so much the department has to go out and write tickets to fund a process. Perception is reality for folks,” Beckman said.

Although e-ticketing will be another step toward computerassisted efficiency, the retired officer stresses the continued importance of old-fashioned police work.

“The primary issue on any police contact for traffic is really the demeanor of the police officer and the way they explain the reason for the stop. None of that is going to be replaced by this,” Beckman said.

Football, cowboys and politics KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

January looms as historic month The late Gene Cervi was well known in Denver for his Cervi’s Journal newspaper that down through the years has evolved into the Denver Business Journal.

His widow lived in Cherry Hills for the livestock for the National Western Stock Show that is set to

open this week.

Interesting that the convening of the legislature and the National Western all begin about the same time.

In the old days, the cowboys came to town to party, rodeo and pass new laws. In some ways many of those measures still exist but the events are fancier, the rodeo is for top-flight professionals, and the legislative session now extends into late spring.

The National Western appears to be planning to remain in the present location, but is going to potentially ask voters for support in some extensive remodeling and rebranding of the complex.

That seems to be possible to keep the esteemed event in the present location.

We can only hope that the highway is improved thru Globeville and not buried underground for a billion dollars as some leaders have suggested. No doubt the relocation of I-70 will have some

impact on the configuration of the new National Western Complex.

The legislature is facing good news with business improving across many places in Colorado and a good rebound in real estate and auto sales, two main drivers of state income tax revenues.

One major piece of legislation is to extend degree status for the 13 state community colleges and allow them to grant some fouryear degrees in certain subjects.

Opposed last year by University of Colorado and Colorado State University, it appears they will likely support this feeder system of schools and prospective students this year. First, it is hard to gain entrance to these premier Colorado universities and they are more expensive than state junior colleges where students can go to school in or near a community college facility.

CSU has also pioneered a Global University where an entire degree can be earned online. This

is a major breakthrough in higher education and will allow many to obtain an advanced degree for far less than living on campus.

However, part of going to college is just that, packing up and leaving mom, dad, siblings and going off to school.

This life-changing adventure is well worth the price of admission and part of life’s success is to learn how to network with others professionally and socially.

Lastly, the Broncos return home this Sunday to face the San Diego Chargers and America will be watching. I’m sure we Broncos fans will be holding our breath as the greatest quarterback in history takes the field.

My prediction: Denver wins 36-24 and moves toward a Super Bowl encounter.

I thought the Colts looked good in Wild Card games.

Ride’m Broncos!

Three important lessons for 2014 on how to treat people REMARKS

By Mort Marks

Too many Americans are now passive and disengaged. Too many feel powerless and lament, “What can they do?” Here’s a suggestion for what they can do – they can simply turn off their television sets and get engaged and involved in “treating” people in any one of the following three ways.

First important lesson and “way” – giving when it counts.

Coffman urges action on immigration reform proposal Submitted by Rep. Mike Coffman’s office

Last week, U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, R-Aurora, sent a letter to House Majority Leader Eric Cantor urging action on Coffman’s legislative proposal, the Military Enlistment Opportunity Act, which would authorize undocumented individuals, who were brought to the United States illegally as children and who otherwise meet all military requirements for enlistment, be allowed to join the armed forces and have a pathway to citizenship based on their military service.

“Although some may find military options for noncitizens to be a novel approach, the history of the United States armed services tells a different story,” wrote Coffman, a Marine Corps combat veteran. “German immigrants served in the Continental Army at Valley Forge; Irish immigrants served during the Civil War; European immigrants of all backgrounds served during World War I and World War II; and many others served in the Korean, Vietnam, and other modern conflicts.”

Rep. Mike Coffman Coffman retired from the military after a combined 21 years of service between the Army, the Army Reserve, the Marine Corps, and the Marine Corps Reserve. He is the only member of Congress to have served in both the first Gulf War and in the Iraq War. Under Coffman’s legislation, visa holders who are residing in the United States and are currently not eligible to serve, such as foreign students completing degrees in science, technology, engineering and math, will also be able to apply to enter the military

and to earn a path to citizenship based on their service.

One reason why Coffman wants these new recruits to become U.S. citizens is because noncitizens are not allowed to hold the security clearances that are required for an increasing number of career fields in today’s military. Having them immediately processed for citizenship would allow the military to use these new recruits to their highest potential. However, under Coffman’s proposal, their citizenship would be revocable if they failed to complete their service obligation or are discharged under less than honorable conditions.

“For America to take full advantage of the talents of these individuals we must highlight the benefits of a path for naturalization through the military,” Coffman’s letter said. “As such, I urge you to support future hearing in the House Armed Services Committee on this subject and include H.R. 435 in immigration legislation so that our colleagues and their constituents can fully realize the value of this untapped domestic resource.”

Littleton seeks feedback on Comprehensive Plan Submitted by City of Littleton Following a public hearing on Nov. 25, the Littleton Planning Board voted 7-0 to recommend that City Council approve the Draft Citywide Plan as an element of Littleton’s Comprehensive Plan.

Council will hold a public hearing to take comments on the recommended plan and consider any proposed changes to the plan and its approval. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 7 p.m. in the council chamber at the Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry Ave. Citizens are encouraged to review the plan prior to the hearing and send comments by email to dswain@littletongov.org, or by

mail to Dennis Swain, Senior Planner, Community Development Department, 2255 W. Berry Ave., Littleton, CO 80120.

The process for updating the Citywide Plan was initiated by the planning board and city staff in the spring of 2012 with the launch of the InspireLittleton. org interactive website as well as five public planning forums.

In addition to using social media and traditional public meetings to gather feedback, staff and board members talked to hundreds of citizens at outreach events and various community celebrations.

Citizens were asked what they like about Littleton and what they think would make the city an even better place to live. By the end of November, 638 par-

ticipants on the Inspire Littleton website had shared 553 ideas and provided 866 comments.

The planning board met with City Council at key intervals during the process to receive direction in proceeding with the plan.

At the end of the process, the board held three hearings to take public comment and held two study sessions to review the comments and revise the plan.

If approved by the council, the Citywide Plan will replace the following sections of the Comprehensive Plan: Table of Contents, Preface, Introduction, Accomplished Policies of Continued Importance, and Community Wide Goals and Policies

An even more outrageous result Flaws in Colorado’s juvenile vehicular homicide and assault laws

By Deputy District Attorneys Sarah Ericson, Kristine Rolfes and Deborah Wrenholt On Dec. 10, 2013, a Texas judge sentenced 16-year-old Eric Couch to 10 years of probation for killing four people while driving drunk. As outrageous a miscarriage of justice as that sounds, it could have been far worse here in Colorado. For a routine traffic offense, from speeding tickets to driving under the influence, a juvenile driver in Colorado will

face adult penalties. However, that same juvenile can seriously injure or kill one or more innocent victims while driving under the influence at age 17 years, 364 days and still be eligible under current Colorado law to receive a relative slap on the wrist.

In 2012, the Colorado legislature diminished the possible penalties for juveniles killing people by driving drunk when it changed the law to protect these killers from being held accountable with adult consequences for their adult crimes. Despite a juvenile killing four people while driving under the influence of alcohol or pot or whatever in Colorado, your local prosecutors are precluded from directly filing those charges in

By Jan Wondra It’s a case of darned if you do, darned if you don’t. Imagine the dilemma faced these past several months by Colorado lawyers as Colorado becomes one of two states that have legalized recreational marijuana. You are bound by your legal obligation to provide good advice to your clients, but in doing so, you are advising them on how to break federal law.

Across the state, municipal lawyers, and attorneys in private practice advising business clients, have struggled with how to interpret Amendment 64, passed by Colorado voters on Nov. 6, 2012, which became official law on Dec. 10, 2012. It legalized personal marijuana use; allowing the possession, use, display, purchase or transportation of marijuana accessories or one ounce or less of marijuana by persons 21 years and older. The initiative flies in the face of federal law, which treats marijuana use as a criminal offense.

For months prior to the late October issuance of Opinion 125, the official addendum issued by the

Colorado Supreme Court’s Standing Committee on the Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, lawyers were in a legal quandary: Under Colorado RPC 1.2(d), “a lawyer shall not counsel a client to engage, or assist a client, in conduct that the lawyer knows is criminal...� In other words, counsel a client about marijuana – face ethical discipline.

While the official committee opinion noted they didn’t know of any instance where a Colorado lawyer had been disciplined this past year for representing clients regarding marijuana use or commercial activity, the facts don’t mitigate the ethical situation. Colorado does not yet have a recreational-marijuana use code similar to its Medical Marijuana Code.

Because Colorado law directly conflicts with federal law, it prevents the Colorado Supreme Court’s Standing Committee from drawing a firm distinction between what is and is not in compliance with both Colorado law and what constitutes criminal attorney conduct according to federal law. In Opinion 125, it has

adult court. Instead, the prosecutor must ask a court for permission to transfer the case from juvenile court into adult court. If the court denies the request to transfer the case to adult court, the maximum sentence — whether the juvenile killed one victim or 50 — is two years in the Department of Youth Corrections.

Let’s be clear, despite its name, DYC is not prison. A sentence to DYC could amount to no more than a short stay at a treatment center with community supervision for the two-year period. The court could also sentence the juvenile to probation for two years with a mere 45 days in the juvenile detention center.

In the face of the endless pain

that victims face with the permanent loss of a loved one, these penalties ring hollow and should outrage every Coloradan. On top of this injustice for victims, new legislation passed last year allows a juvenile charged with a vehicular homicide or vehicular assault to permanently expunge the adjudication [the juvenile term for conviction] from his or her record.

He could then get a job as a school bus or UPS driver, apply for law enforcement jobs, and continue on with his life unencumbered by the serious injuries and/or death he was responsible for causing. Once a record is expunged, the juvenile record is considered “never to have existed� by law, and the victims are forever robbed of the pub-

lic acknowledgement of their loss.

In 2010, a study found that one in five teen drivers involved in a fatal crash will have some alcohol in their system. One of the most effective tools to combat driving under the influence remains zero-tolerance laws for this type of behavior. Research used by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention demonstrates that these types of laws reduce drinking-anddriving crashes involving teens.

Please let our local legislators know that we deserve better protection on our roads. We do not want the injustice of the Eric Couch sentence perpetuated in our state.

Deputy District Attorneys Sarah Ericson, Kristine Rolfes and Deborah Wrenholt work in the juvenile prosecution unit in the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Colorado attorneys providing counsel to commercial marijuana enterprises face a legal dilemma: the conflict between Colorado law and federal law. taken what it calls “a spectrum of conduct� approach, “ranging from that which Colo. RPC 1.2(d) clearly permits to that which it clearly prohibits.� “Opinion 125 recommends that the Colorado Supreme Court revise the attorney ethics rules, allowing attorneys with private business clients to provide legal advice regarding their commercial marijuana activities,� said Cherry Hills Village City Attorney Linda

Michow of Widner Michow & Cox LLP. “ This will allow private attorneys to provide legal council without facing disciplinary action.� “Our job is to advise clients,� said Tanya Haas Davidson, Greenwood Village City Attorney. “Attorneys are doing a great disservice to our clients if we can’t advise them. In fact, if we do nothing, we’re not doing our job.

That’s what they pay us for.�

Municipal attorneys have found themselves in a better advisory position, simply because they have been involved in drafting municipal law regarding recreational marijuana retail sale activity, and interpreting its use on private property.

Both Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village are among the many municipalities that have banned retail sale activity (they previously prohibited medical marijuana retail establishments). Retail activity includes the cultivation, sale, manufacture, distribution and use of recreational marijuana. Neighboring Aurora and Denver have allowed these activities.

Greenwood Village has taken the extra step of officially banning its use in public parks and its transportation on city sidewalks and roads on the basis that it owns its sidewalks and roads. Both Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village have enacted code that prohibits consumption of marijuana in front yards and front porches; not a hardship in cities with large lawns and expansive lots.

Within Greenwood Village, you shouldn’t worry, however, about being pulled over while driving by police just to check for marijuana. “If they’re not driving impaired, or breaking a law, we’re not going to be pulling people over,� said Davidson. “But if someone is stopped and there’s an open container sitting in the front seat... or a pipe with residue in a cup holder...then, yes, you’re going to be cited.�

Davidson’s advice to marijuana users who happen to be driving, “They should treat it like alcohol use.

Stay within the rules and they should be fine.�

New History Colorado exhibit explores Colorado’s people and landscape

By Rosemary Fetter Despite its beauty and breathtaking scenery, Colorado was never an easy place to settle. In 1820, explorer Stephen Long described the high plains as “The Great American Desert, unfit for human habitation.” Although the New Hampshire-born engineer never considered the Native Americans “human” and underestimated the determination of future gold seekers and

pioneers, his opinion was not entirely unfounded. As the Long expedition crossed the dry, dusty plains only to reach the imposing grandeur of the Rocky Mountains, the environment must have seemed hostile and forbidding. Sometimes, it still does.

The relationship between Colorado’s people and its landscape is examined through History Colorado Center’s new Living West exhibit, a

7,000 square foot exhibition and the second of three phases at the museum. Through three stories, Mesa Verde, The Dust Bowl and The Mountains Today, visitors examine how people have struggled and survived over the centuries, what the problems have been and what solutions evolved. Not only has Colorado’s fragile environment shaped human history, human choices have reshaped

the land, sometimes with devastating results. According to B. Erin Cole, assistant State Historian, the exhibit aims to get people thinking about the interconnectivity between man and the landscape, how our actions have impacted the environment, and how the choices we make will affect generations to come.

Mesa Verde

The first section exhibit travels back in time to explore the Mesa Verde of 800 years ago, featuring nearly 200 artifacts, assembled with the assistance of tribal representatives from the Santa Clara, Zia, Acoma, Zuni and Hopi tribes. Most of the artifacts come from the museum’s renowned Mesa Verde Collection, collected nearly a century ago.

With several interactive stations, this entertaining and unusual museum experience includes both visual and hands-on exhibits, such as the opportunity to paint a pot or weave yucca fibers. A diorama of Mesa Verde during the Anasazi period, originally created by the WPA during the 1930s, has been recently refurbished for the display. Living West Activity Books can be downloaded with art projects and experiments kids can do at home.

The Mountains Today

The last section focuses on the mountains, which have great impact on the state’s economy both as a tourist attraction and the main source of water. Among the exhibits are a small replica of the westbound Eisenhower tunnel and a video of a drive from Denver to Breckenridge, where the historic mountain town has become a recreational ski resort. An interactive feature demonstrates just how many feet of snowpack are needed to get a just a small amount of water.

Another interactive section, a small pine forest, details the infestation of the pine beetle and the damage it’s doing to our forested areas. The mountain section ends at the Summit Cafe, an interactive space designed to replicate a small restaurant in a town like Breckenridge, with skis and vintage ski resort posters hanging on the walls. Visitors can measure their carbon footprint and even provide suggestions for solutions to mountain traffic issues, and there’s a play area for kids.

A SPECTRUM RETIREMENT COMMUNIT Y HP Villager 1 9 23 14

The second section deals with the nation’s landmark ecological disaster, the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Due to over-cultivation and a long drought period, between 1934 and 1941, hundreds of dust storms blew loose topsoil in great black clouds across the Great Plains. Both a man-made and a natural calamity, the damage done by these storms would be exacerbated by the Great Depression. Many lost their farmers, like the Joad family in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath. With no money for medication and no hospitals nearby to treat them, people died or suffered irreparable lung damage from dust-related pneumonia. Besides the dust storms and drought, grasshopper infestations destroyed what was left of the crops. Although the situation improved due to federal assistance, the government relocation program, better agricultural methods and the end of the drought, some previously successful farming lands, like those in Baca County, never fully recovered.

This part of the exhibit is illustrated by a particularly well-done multimedia presentation that allows guests to vicariously experience the terrible “Black Sunday,” April 14, 1935, when more than 300,000 tons of topsoil blew from eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma to the East Coast. From the howling wind to the encroaching black cloud, firsthand accounts detail the terror recalled by survivors and the desolation left behind. At the end of the program, President Roosevelt’s encouraging speech plays over an old-fashioned

radio, reassuring the beleaguered farmers. After Black Sunday, Congress established the Soil Conservation Service to provide guidance in reducing soil erosion, improving forest and field land and conserving natural resources.

Building a Habitat for Humanity

Greenwood Villager seeks volunteers for Asian homebuilding trips

By Peter Jones t’s a long and circuitous route from Greenwood Village to Kyrgyzstan, but count on Roger Krapfl to get there and back when he needs to.

The longtime team leader for Habitat for Humanity first had to find the landlocked mountainous central Asian nation on a map before leading a mission to build homes in the former Soviet republic.

The nonprofit Habitat has constructed hundreds of thousands of houses for homeless and disadvantaged people in developing nations all around the world since 1976.

Krapfl, himself, has taken his hammer to nations as varied as Nepal, Vietnam, Bolivia and Kenya.

Last November, Krapfl led a team to southeast Africa’s Malawi, one of the nation’s least developed nations, to build two homes for orphans with AIDS. The whirlwind effort was one of more than 100 similar projects in such disparate locations as Fiji, Hungary and the state of New Mexico.

As it happened, three members of Krapfl’s team were recruited as the result of an article published last June in The Villager. The team leader is hoping for similar success for his upcoming 14-day trips to Thai-

I

land and Mongolia. He will need to recruit 12 to15 volunteers for each trip.

Volunteers must be flexible and amenable to life in a Third World country. Each volunteer must pay about $2,000 for room, board, local transportation, as well as for cultural excursions in the country and to support of the local projects. Volunteers are also responsible for their own airfare.

The Villager recently asked Krapfl about his upcoming trips, his methods for scouting for volunteers, and about how he almost did not make it to South Africa last year on his way to Malawi.

Villager: How did the Malawi trip go?

Krapfl: Since I talked with you last, I did two trips – one to Kyrgyzstan and one to Malawi. The Malawi trip was fantastic. I learned an important lesson, however. It turns out you cannot fly into South Africa unless you have at least three blank pages in your passport. Apparently, they like to stamp the bejesus out of your passport and I only had one page left. Those guys wouldn’t even let me get on the airplane. I went down to the passport office in Washington, D.C., and hung out for two days and eventually purchased 24 blank pages that were sewn into my passport for $140. I eventually got on the plane and went. It was the only real hiccup on the whole trip.

Even if I took you on a trip that had what I would consider one of the more well off families, you would be appalled how poor they are.

- Roger Krapfl, Habitat for Humanity team leader

We had 12 volunteers in Malawi.

We built two houses. Each house is about 450 square feet and now has six orphans in it, plus a caregiver.

They were all built out of brick with a metal roof. In Kyrgyzstan, the scenery was absolutely spectacular.

The Himalayan Mountains were in the background. You had this lake in the foreground.

I had 15 volunteers on that trip and we built a fairly large house. The family already owned the land. This house contains an extended family and was closer to 1,200 square feet and was made with gigantic adobe blocks cast in place in the wall.

Villager: Tell us about the upcoming trips to Asia.

Krapfl: If you think back to 2004, Phuket, Thailand, is the town the tsunami hit, wiping out tens of thousands of people. There’s still an awful lot of homes that have to be

rebuilt. Some of these people have been homeless for a long time. The second trip is to Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia. We’re going to be building a traditional stick-build American-style house with 2x4s.

Habitat relies on whatever local materials are available that are selfreproducing and sustainable. In the case of Nepal, we built a house from bamboo. In the case of Mongolia, it’s lumber.

Villager: What kind of volunteers are you looking for?

Krapfl: I do turn people away. I interview everybody on the phone. I want to make sure people are comfortable, knowing ahead of time what to expect on a trip like this. If you were to give me a job description, I’m supposed to manage your expectations so you don’t go into some kind of shock about going into a Third World country. If I’m talking to a candidate and I start to feel like this person doesn’t totally get it, I won’t invite them on a trip.

Villager: What is the obligation of families that receive the homes?

Krapfl: The local community picks the family that they believe is most in need. For example, in Malawi the local [tribal] chief, in working with the community, picked the two groups of orphans.

So then Habitat meets with them to make sure they are a suitable, responsible family who in fact has income and can pay a mortgage.

Habitat becomes the bank and

Let us help you celebrate!

developer. These houses average around $3,000. Habitat requires a small down payment. There is no interest. A lot of these homes can be paid off in 10 years or so. There are a lot of variations on this. There are also grants.

Villager: If these homebuyers are proven to be financially sound comparatively, why do they need so much help?

Krapfl: It’s all relative. They want to make sure the people aren’t in trouble with the law. A person may have the capability to pay a small mortgage, but that doesn’t mean they can go out and build a $3,000 house on their own. Even if I took you on a trip that had what I would consider one of the more well off families, you would be appalled how poor they are. The other absolute rule is that the family has to help with the construction of the house.

They’re working side by side with us. Those who can’t do the physical work tend to prepare our breakfasts and our lunches for us at the site. It’s a partnership.

Villager: I assume you must get a lot of expressions of appreciation.

Krapfl: It’s just extraordinary.

For each house, we have a dedication ceremony. The locals all make speeches. The families are crying.

The kids are crying. The volunteers are crying. It’s very, very emotional.

You can see how incredibly appreciative they are of what we’ve been able to do together.

Keller named ‘Friend of the National Western’ honoree Red Meat Club annual dinner set for Jan. 16

The coveted Friend of the National Western and Red Meat Industry award will be presented to Director of the Westernaires, Mr. Glen Keller, Jr. The Red Meat Club of Denver’s annual dinner, promoting the red meat and livestock industries, is set for Thursday, Jan. 16, at the National Western Club.

As a local institution now in its 65th year, the Westernaires mounted drill team of Jefferson County is as much a part of today’s National Western Stock Show and Rodeo as the historic stadium arena and the stockyards themselves. Anybody who has attended a rodeo performance at the National Western, or one of the dozens of performance venues over the course of a typical year has marveled at the intricate and heart-racing precision drills executed by teenage riders that have learned their craft under the tutelage and leadership of Keller.

Now entering his fourth decade as director of the Westernaires, Keller will be honored for his many years of service and contributions to the National Western Stock Show.

Each year since 1993, the Red Meat Club has honored an individual or family for their contribution of time, talent and leadership to the National Western.

“Glen represents the quality of individual that the National Western relies upon year in and year out,” said Paul Andrews, president and CEO of the National Western Stock Show. “As the leader of the Westernaires, he’s left a lasting mark on this institution and our hundreds of thousands of visitors, and sets the bar as a true friend of the National Western.”

The Westernaires is a nonprofit organization currently serving more than 1,000 dedicated youth ages 9 to 19, guided by a mission statement that encourages responsibility, leadership, and self-respect through horsemanship and family participation. To that end, the Westernaires not only trains these young people to utilize their horsemanship skills

in the valued traditions of the West, but prepares them for future success as individuals as well.

After first appearing in a “kids’ day” activity at Stock Show in 1954, the Westernaires first performed during the rodeo in 1956 and have been a part of the rodeo, in some capacity, ever since. To Keller, that durable and lasting relationship comes easy.

“It remains one of my personal great loves to be involved and for the Westernaires to be able to contribute to the Colorado community in this way,” he said.

Keller grew up in Longmont, obsessed from his childhood days with horses, cowboys and the West.

His skills as a horseman, however, took a back seat as he completed law school at the University of Denver and embarked upon a lifelong legal career, including eight years of service on the federal bench as U.S. Bankruptcy Judge for the District of Colorado and two years as an assistant attorney general for the State of Colorado in the fields of banking and savings and loan law.

Keller taught aspiring law students as an adjunct professor of law at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law for 25 years, and although he is now retired from active legal practice he remains active as senior of counsel with Denver’s Davis Graham & Stubbs law firm.

The demands of a successful legal career couldn’t keep Keller away from horses. After first seeing the Westernaires perform at a horse show in 1976, Keller became an active participant first as a parent volunteer and later as a key assistant to Elmer Wyland, the founder of the Westernaires and the only other director in the group’s 64-year history. Keller took over the reins from Wyland in 1983, and hasn’t looked back.

Keller calls it an honor to perform at the National Western, but is also quick to point out that what people see at the rodeo might obscure just how many youth are served by the organization and just how deeply committed they are to the January institution.

Denver metro area luxury home sales edge higher Submitted by Coldwell Banker Luxury home sales in the Denver metro area climbed 13.7 percent last month from year-ago levels while prices remained essentially flat, according to a new report by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Colorado’s leading provider of luxury real estate services.

The figures are based on Multiple Listing Service data of all homes sold for more than $1 million last month in the Denver Metro Area.

A total of 66 luxury homes in the region sold in November, up from 58 sales in the previous month. The high-end of the luxury market remained strong with 13 sales more than $2 million, up from nine a year ago.

The median sale price of a luxury home last month was $1,325,000, off just fractionally from the $1,336,000 median price a year ago and down 2.8 percent from the $1,363,000 median price in October.

On a monthly basis, November’s 66 sales were down from October’s 93 transactions, although a seasonal drop from October to November is not unusual.

Other market indicators improved from a year ago as sellers received a higher percentage of their asking price on average and homes sold faster on average than they did in November 2012.

“The luxury housing market in the Denver Metro Area turned in a good month in November with solid sales gains compared to last year at this time, especially in the upper end of the luxury market,” said Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “We did see some normal seasonal cooling in sales when compared to October, but all signs point to a pretty healthy housing market as we approach the New Year.”

Some key findings from this month’s Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage luxury report: The most expensive sale in the Denver metro area last month was a six-bedroom, five-bath approximately 7,600-square-foot home in Boulder that sold for $6,432,495 Denver boasted the most million-dollar sales with 25, followed by Boulder with 11, Cherry Hills Village with six, and Castle Rock with four Homes sold in an average of 133.8 days on the market, down from 159.4 days a year ago but up from 105.4 days the previous month Sellers received an average of 95 percent of their asking price, up from 94.2 percent a year ago but down from 96.5 percent the previous month.

Cherry Hills Villager Craig Johnson dies of sudden heart attack

By Glory Weisberg Craig Johnson, husband of Lisa Daniel-Johnson, of Cherry Hills Village died last week from a sudden heart attack.

He is also survived by their son, C.J., who is graduating from high school this year. Craig also had three adult children from a previous marriage, including Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed the movie, Looper, in which his father briefly appeared.

The movie starred Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels and others.

Craig is a former Pulte executive who went on to launch his own home building business and other multiple international businesses as well.

Within moments of the Facebook entry, below, so many comments appeared that the community deeply cared for Craig who cared for so many people in the Denver area suburbs and beyond.

A memorial service was held

Jan. 6 at the Church of the Risen Christ.

The following was posted on Lisa Daniel-Johnson’s Facebook page.

“To my beloved husband Craig who unexpectedly passed away this week. You were the love of my life-with your generous spirit, charismatic personality, vibrant blue eyes, honey vanilla skin, and creative intelligence. I remember the first time I ever saw you and told my girlfriend that you were ‘the most beautiful man I had ever seen.’

C.J. and I are now experiencing a kind of pain and loneliness that I never thought possible, but knowing that you are now with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in heaven somehow lessens our suffering. Thank you for loving me and giving me our precious son.” gloryweisberg@comcast.net Craig Johnson

enver International Airport is home to miles of art that welcomes travelers in and out of the airport and on March 13 it won a well-deserved Impact Award at the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts Luncheon. Chuck Morris won the John Madden, Jr. Leadership Award, CBS4 took back to their studios the Philanthropy Award that it won beating out KeyBank and Wells Fargo. During his address to the sold out lunch guests, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock said that

4.6 million cultural arts tickets were bought in Denver in 2011.

The annual Craig Hospital PUSH Dinner used to attract a few hundred folks, but in 2013 it drew 1,300 supporters to the Hyatt Convention Center. Peter and Sandy Burg and Lonna and Bill Lindsay chaired the 12th annual dinner that honored New York City police detective Steven McDonald, who was a young man when he was shot by a gunman, leaving McDonald unable to even breathe on his own now for decades, still wearing his uniform. For his courage he won the Christopher and Dana Reeve Inspiration Award.

The PUSH dinner has, in 12 years, raised more than $8.4 million for the expanding hospital.

The Denver Center Theatre Saturday Night Alive last year raised a net $640,000 to bring live Theatre Arts in Education programs to 50,000 Denver area children and guests had a ball doing it.

The gowns were gorgeous, the men stunning in their tuxedoes and the silent auction a lot of fun.

The Triumphant Faces Gala for the Excelsior Youth Center was Feb. 22 and when guests were asked to raise their hands if this was their first Excelsior gala at least 100 people raised their hands. More than 500 people were there, enjoying the Pointer Sisters whose concert rocked the rafters. A $25,000 donation from Fred and Jana Bartlit was an adrenalin infusion for the facility’s financial health. The total take from the paddle raiser alone was $76,000.

In April, the Central City Opera Guild Party for Preservation was a fun gathering at the History Colorado Center.

CCOHA maintains several hillside houses in Central City that are more than a century old. These quaint little abodes house the apprentice artists and while the artists themselves are

youthful, the rickety houses need upgrading to meet current safety standards. Even considering their tiny size, repairs are costly. And so the Nicholas House, built in 1875, was likely saved from destruction, thanks to Kim Morss Dehncke and Kitty Koch who co-chaired the party. They had a committee that had a good size chunk of the guild membership directory! That’s one way to sell out a house and it worked. Ed and Meg Nichols were honorary chairs.

The Etiquette portion of GloryUs Goings On this year became a magnet for readers who readily voiced their opinions on current manners. The topics included phone etiquette in public places.

“It drives me crazy when someone is constantly checking messages while they are at a social occasion. If a loved one is on life

support in the hospital…then I will excuse them, otherwise, NO,” said one reader and that topic took off literally before year’s end when the FAA was set to approve use of smartphones throughout every flight.

This had been the one place folks could have some respite from the chatter so while a blessing for some, it became the threat of a curse for others. Do you really want to be stuck arm to arm with passengers who drone on and on with everyone within earshot forced to listen?

Another etiquette faux pas was wedding-focused and it got really weird as the writer said, “I actually received a wedding registry with a breast pump on it.”

Talk about jumping the gun!

Continued from Page 12 vacation with extended family, we hope you had a joyous time together. That likely included gift exchanging, and this is a “sticky wicket” for some. If you have extended family spread out through several continents, you are dealing with different etiquette regarding gift giving. We suggest each child have a list of gifts they’d love to get within a given price range so the gift giver buys what the kid wants without he or she knowing exactly what they’re getting. This works well for adults too and prevents the disappointment of getting a white elephant they’ll

never use or wear.

For clothing get the proper size or fabric and consider the other person’s lifestyle and climate where they live.

Also if you’re not sure about one’s culture or religion ask or read up on what clothing is appropriate before diving into embarrassing territory.

If you plan travel to family over spring break, be sure to plan ahead if your family includes a child or adult with special needs.

Pet allergies can cause emergencies so be explicit if planning to stay with a friend or relative who has indoor animals.

Use the same caution with food issues. Let the host know of gluten,

cholesterol, allergies, diabetic or other diet restrictions well in advance. For many allergic people, merely mixing an allergen into an otherwise safe dish renders the entire dish unsafe. Often it can mean simply exchanging a starch or leaving out an ingredient for a dish you will all share. A cooking utensil shared on the cook line with a hamburger and seafood sent the then otherwise healthy Kathy Piper Johnson from the Metropolitan Club to the nearest emergency room, landing her in the hospital several days due to anaphylactic shock.

Finland Swedish family film comes to FFF Jan. 15

By Clarissa Crozier To start 2014, Film Festival Flix presents Iris, the first Finland Swedish film for children, on Jan. 15 at the Landmark Theatre. This film tells a tale about an 8-year-old child’s inner strength and will to survive.

Iris garnered The Children Jury’s Award at the International Children’s and Youth Film Festival in Oulu, Finland, and was Official Selection at the Buff Film Festival and Copenhagen International Film Festival for Children and Youth.

The film was shot on 35mm film in Swedish. Viewers will feel the flavor the film by hearing it in Swedish with English subtitles.

Family suitable film gives emotion a voice

Iris is 8 years old when the movie finds her and her mother, Ester, an artist, in Stockholm. Iris is a mature young lady, precocious and at home among her mother’s friends. When Ester plans a trip to showcase her art in Paris, Iris is shocked on the day of departure to learn she will not be going to Paris.

Instead, Iris is sent by mail boat to Åland with her Uncle Elias, whom she has never met until now.

In her displeasure with her mother, she tells her uncle that Ester has died. Elias and his wife are poor and not equipped to raise Iris.

In a Cinderella-style theme, Iris lives with a captain’s widow and children who are mean to her so she finds solace in a piglet named Siri.

But, after a drowning accident, she befriends the captain’s daughter, Sofia. During her adventure in Åland, Iris discovers who she really is and her family’s secrets are revealed.

Swedish Director Ulrika Bengts graduated as a film director from Dramatiska Institutet in Stockholm, now known as Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts. Bengts has directed more than 30 films,including two feature films, several documentaries and TV programs.

Bengts directed the feature film The Disciple, which became Finland’s 2013 Academy Awards submission. She directed the television series Fling and documentaries Now You’re Hamlet and Highway Eight.

Speaking on Iris, Bengts said, “The first time I held the script to Iris in my hands, I could not seem

to let it go. I read it at a stretch and devoured the text in excitement to find out what happens next. There is an excitement in the script; it moves forward, it is unpredictable, filled with surprises and enticement.”

Iris is the first feature film ever to be filmed on the Åland Islands, a group of islands between Finland and Sweden. These islands are part of Finland but autonomous and unique.

“Most of Iris takes place on the beautiful, distinctive and in filmcontext, strangely unexploited Åland Islands,” Bengts said. “As a summer citizen of Åland going back more than 20 years, I know the province well, and depicting it more closely has for a long time been a dream of mine.”

The film is set during the transition period at the end of the 19th century and the birth of Modernism.

Themes and symbolism of emancipating women, children’s rights, the urban ideal, and nature romanticism permeate the film.

“Even though the film is an epoch-film, the content is quite modern,” Producer Mats Langbacka said. “Nowadays, with divorces and neofamilies, one easily forgets the children’s feelings.

“Iris goes through a process, which is commonplace to most children from broken families; the feeling that the parents let you down,” Langbacka said. “The film justifies these feelings which are often denied and which the children are not allowed to feel and express.”

Bengts explained that in films made for children, she finds the adults represent only sounding boards. Not in this film.

“The adults are also allowed to be human in Iris,” she said. “They are not depicted from above or from below, but move in the same emotional world as the children.

At the same time, the story sides with the child all the way through, identifying itself with the vulnerable one.”

The story is one of development.

“This miniature grown-up of a girl – sophisticated, urbane – learns how to be a child, get dirty and play, this without Iris having to give up who she has been; to deny her former identity. Again, I feel that this is an unusual children’s film script. Iris is a simple and natural way of saying that life does not have to be either-or, it can be both.”

Cast brings Swedish experience

Iris’ mother Ester is played by Maria Solemaa, who is Finnish but lives in Stockholm. She has appeared in a number of TV movies including Young Strindberg, August, and Georg & Lydia.

Uncle Elias is played by Tobias Zilliacus who has made a name for himself in both Finnish and Swedish films and TV movies. He appeared in The Hypnotist, Georg & Lydia, Beyond Enemy Lines, One Foot Under and Flowers and Binding. He will appear next in the sequel to The Hypnotist.

Magnus Krepper, who plays Bruno, is a well-known actor in Sweden and appears in The Girl Who Played with Fire and in two TV mini-series, Millenium and The Bridge.

Iris is portrayed by Agnes Koskinen in her film debut. Koskinen is from a small village in Finland.

East West publically named as Landmark receiver

By Tom Barry After a colorful past, the Landmark development in Greenwood Village is taking initial steps toward some level of transparency.

The beleaguered multi-million dollar luxury center with residential and retail components publically announced, Jan. 6, that East West Partners has officially been named the receiver of The Village at The Landmark development.

East West had been selected to replace Andy Miller and his firm MillerFrishman, the previous receiver. East West officially became the receiver on Nov. 12, 2013.

Arapahoe County Judge Gerald Rafferty appointed this Denverbased firm to manage the property.

The investment groups of Neuberger Berman, along with SVP Global, purchased the note for the two Landmark residential towers and the adjacent retail district on Sept. 19, 2013.

“East West Partners is excited to bring the vision of The Landmark to fruition,” said Amy Cara, partner at East West who will oversee the management and marketing of The Landmark. “We feel that our more than 25 years of expertise in residential development and neighborhood placemaking will allow us to transform The Landmark into a place to live and shop that will make both current and future owners proud.”

The Landmark has two luxury towers containing 271 condo units.

East West will market the remaining 105 unsold units, as 48 of those condos are “yet to be completed.”

“East West Partners has en-

gaged its long-time partner, Continuum Partners, to oversee the leasing and management of the related retail center, which currently has numerous tenants, including Landmark Theatre, Comedy Works and Ted’s Montana Grill, among others,” said Cara in the release.

East West will have a sister company, Slifer, Smith and Framp-

ton – Denver, Inc., market the residences.

“At this time, however, the residences have been removed from the market. East West intends to bring a few residences to market by the end of the year, and the remainder will be held as design of the new units is completed and construction commences,” according to the release.

By Jan Wondra The cases of two of three plaintiffs in a civil-rights employment suit filed last year against Cherry Hills Village City Manager John Patterson and the city itself have been dismissed, though the suit from a third plaintiff will continue.

The order brought to a close the claims of sexual discrimination and corruption filed by Suzanne Rogers, a former Cherry Hills Village prosecuting attorney, and former Animal Control Officer Michelle Edwardson. The city has also been dismissed as a party to the legal proceedings.

The hearing last month resulted in a “dismissal with prejudice” order signed by Judge Lewis Babcock. Each participant in that part of the suit has been ordered to pay their own legal and court costs.

All charges remain open in the case of the suit’s third plaintiff, former Acting Police Chief Jody Sansing.

The three former employees – Rogers, Edwardson and Sansing – had made the initial allegations in a 65-page court document that

accused Patterson of persistent sexually discriminatory behavior and language directed toward Edwardson while Patterson was serving as chief of police. The suit alleged that Rogers and Sansing filed an objection to the activity on behalf of Edwardson. After Patterson was promoted to city manager and Sansing became acting police chief, all three were dismissed from employment.

Cherry Hills Village has always referred to the case as an “employment lawsuit,” not a civil-rights or sexual-discrimination case and has rejected all claims. In a written statement issued when the suit was filed, city spokesman Pete Webb of Webb PR said that discussions had been held among the parties for several months prior to the case being filed.

“The city categorically refutes both the allegations and any liability associated with these employment matters,” Webb’s statement read.

“There was a confidential settlement agreement,” said City Attorney Linda Michow, regarding the notice of dismissal of the suit by Edwardson and Rodgers.

“I can confirm that there was no financial settlement from the City of Cherry Hills Village.”

At press time, the city had no comment regarding the stilloutstanding elements of the civil suit. Sansing’s civil suit against Patterson continues.

! r i a l A day in the life of Josna Azim F

By Scottie Taylor Iverson akistan time is 11 hours ahead of us. In Daylight Savings Time, the country is 12 hours ahead. It’s 110-120 degrees there in the summer. Josna Azim was born in a village 40 miles from Lahore, Pakistan. Her aunt was a nurse educated by missionaries. She adopted Josna at age 2 ½ years. Josna attended kindergarten – 10th grade while living with her aunt and then moved to Lahore to attend a Christian college.

For the first two years she studied biology, physics and chemistry to pursue a medical degree. Her third and fourth years – she studied sociology, math and English. As an all-around girl, she played field hockey, netball and took advantage of all opportunities and activities, including drama. After graduation, she married at age 20. By age 28, she had given birth to five children – three sons and two daughters. After a while, her husband had a difficult time finding work and became a medical technologist in Saudi Arabia to support the family. He was away for 14 years and would come home at Christmas. Both she and her husband were born into Christian families. They also spent all their money on the children.

As a young person, the church was far away so religious knowledge was not abundant. Around the time of her marriage – Josna gave her life to Christ. Her church has approximately 300 members including Presbyterians, Catholics, Anglicans and Pentecostals. She shares her teaching and preaching skills.

She sought work outside the home when her first son was 1 ½

years old. Josna, wanting to teach, met missionaries who offered her supervision. When she saw the conditions of women and children in her country, it touched her heart and her desire to work with them to give them confidence and status in society grew stronger. She felt that God had created her for some purpose.

During her journey, she met with government people and non-government people and other organizations working on the same issues.

She learned much from others in the field – Christian women from Muslim countries. In 1997 at a Middle Eastern Prayer Conference in Cypress attended by 250 women, Josna met Karen Overton from Greenwood Village. In 2000, Overton

She also meets with the girls and community leaders to help with persuasion to allow attendance. At the end of graduation, Josna presents the certificate.

Dindinger Drive. Bosier Boulevard. McClellan Way. Weidmann Way. Don’t expect to find them as you meander through the streets of Centennial.

The larger-than-average markers were posted behind District 1’s Rick Dindinger, District 2’s Sue Bosier, District 3’s Rebecca McClellan and District 4’s Ron Weidmann as the four departing officials bid their farewells on Jan. 6 after each served two four-year terms.

Minutes later, their incoming replacements began their first terms.

The new councilmembers – Kathy Turley [District 1], Doris Truhlar [District 2], Mark Gotto [District 3] and C.J. Whelan [District 4] – were each sworn in by Centennial municipal Judge J. Ford Wheatley, along with Noon, who was re-elected in November 2013 to her second fouryear stint.

Noon introduced each of the outgoing officials before each expressed their appreciation to the community.

First, the mayor hailed Dindinger’s out-of-the-box thinking.

“He would always bring up a point that maybe we didn’t think of,

and that’s what we needed,” she said of the District 1 representative.

Dindinger thanked much of the city staff and his fellow councilmembers before reflecting on his own political inexperience when first seeking office in 2005.

“I was a novice,” he said. “My first meeting was after the election – not good. … I want to apologize for sometimes taking myself a little bit too seriously.”

In contrast, Noon recognized Bosier as an early activist for Centennial’s 2001 incorporation. The councilmember said that experience had been the foundation for her later role as an elected representative.

“I’ve done my best effort to remind council of our founders’ vision and uphold the principles and promises we made to the citizens of Centennial,” Bosier said.

The mayor, who had been McClellan’s 2005 challenger, thanked her onetime opponent for her dedication to their common district.

“It would be an understatement to say Ms. McClellan served her constituents passionately. She has always been there for our citizens and represents them with her whole heart and soul,” Noon said.

For McClellan’s part, she expressed gratitude that her replace-

ment and the other new councilmembers were being joined by city veterans.

“More than half of the elected officials on the dais will be continuing and lending their experience and continuity of leadership,” she said. “… It’s good to know.”

Noon praised Weidmann for his dedication to the city.

“Everything he did was for the citizens of Centennial. That was his agenda,” the mayor said.

Weidmann, who is known for his offbeat quips, likened his relationship to fellow District 4 Councilwoman Stephanie Piko to a marriage of sorts.

“Even with [Piko’s predecessor] Todd Miller, it was like a marriage,” Weidmann said.

“It was a civil union,” an audience member offered, prompting laughter.

“Most of the time, it was civil,” Weidmann rejoined.

In closing, Weidmann thanked the assortment of civic activists, public officials and city founders who had crowded into the council chambers for the ceremony “Our citizens are better off today than they were 13 years ago, thanks to a lot of people,” Weidmann said.

at Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club

Working it out

By Peter Jones All dressed up for your New Year’s resolutions and no place to go?

Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club has burned the calories off your last excuse, no matter your map on the road to physical fitness.

“We try to be able to offer everything,” said Paula Neubert, general manager of the expansive 13-acre facility. “We’re looked at as a multipurpose club where you can do just about anything that you want.”

Go ahead. Try to stump the health club.

Martial arts? Pilates? Yoga? Nationally certified instructors? Yes. Group fitness? Nutrition counseling? Boxing? Racquetball? Keep going.

Kids programs? Day spa? Basketball? A triathlon team? Yep. OK, how about squash, spinning and TRX suspension training?

Did we mention Friday’s whileyou-exercise car wash?

For more than a quarter century, the south metro area’s premier athletic club has been keeping its now-8,000-some members in shape by taking the monotony out of everyday exercise. No other club in the metro area can boast a heated year-round outdoor swimming pool,

thanks to the modern wonders of heated cement.

“It was 30 below zero and we had to open up that pool,” Neubert said.

“There is not a swimmer in our club who wouldn’t tell you that swimming outside is the most beautiful and wonderful experience they’ve ever had.”

On the other side of life, the club offers its twice-annual military-style boot camp, complete with walls, sandbags, tires, logs and a hardnosed drill sergeant. The program is

You can get a treadmill anyplace. … We’re a club, a place where people come to belong.

- Paula Neubert, general manager of Greenwood Athletic and Tennis Club even offered to the club’s recruits – err nonmembers – as a way to give them a taste of the community and the social support before they join up.

“There’s no better program for that than the boot camp,” Neubert said. “You’re hurting through the whole thing, but you become so con-

nected that it does help you realize what the club is all about.”

According to the longtime general manager, that social setting and the built-in support system are what make Greenwood Athletic unique in the marketplace.

“It’s not the fitness component.

You can get a treadmill anyplace,” she said. “We would never refer to ourselves as a gym. We’re a club, a place where people come to belong.

You don’t just get the fitness portion or the tennis portion. You get this entire social part of your life.”

The proof is in the numbers, according to Neubert. While some of the club’s competitors can regularly lose as many as half their weight in memberships, Greenwood only sees about 17-percent attrition, and those are mostly due to the inevitabilities of relocation and death. Although most of the membership is centered within a six-mile radius, some members come from as far as Franktown and Parker.

Greenwood Athletic has been building on that sense of community since before there was much community in this area. The club opened in 1987, back when the now-bustling intersection of Quebec Street and Orchard Road was a gleam in the eye of club founder John Mad-

5801 S. Quebec St. in Greenwood Village 303-770-2582 www.greenwoodathleticclub.com den and his development team.

“They didn’t realize they had built the club pretty much in the best place possible. We stand on one the best corners in Greenwood Village,” Neubert said.

The ensuing years saw significant growth in both membership and amenities, not to mention numerous remodels. On the facility’s 20th anniversary, a tennis club was added to the acreage, featuring the nation’s only freestanding building with seven indoor clay tennis courts.

While Greenwood’s various membership levels are relatively higher than many of its competitors, you arguably get the workout you pay for.

“We have less wear and tear on the equipment, less wear and tear on the club. We can provide more luxury items because of that,” Neubert said.

The general manager says Greenwood Athletic strives for customer satisfaction by conducting detailed member surveys four times a year – questionnaires that Neubert reviews personally, one by one.

“We know we’re providing exactly what members need and want,” she said. “It comes down to one of the simplest things there is – just making people happy.”

Toyota has reinvented the iconic RAV4

SPARK

A SEASON OF ENTERTAINMENT

COMING SOON

The 2013 Toyota RAV4 AWD XLE model has a base price of $25,690.

By Don Bain When the popular Toyota RAV4 debuted in 1994, it was the first of the new genre touted as a crossover or compact utility vehicle.

It provided an economical vehicle capable of moderate off-road use, available four-wheel-drive in a likeable style, sporting a encased spare wheel mounted on the rear gate.

Over time, that rear-mounted spare became intrinsic to the iconic design of the original CUV. In its fourth generation, released in 2013, the RAV4’s spare wheel fell to the axe of the aerodynamics engineers.

In the quest for higher efficiency, most vehicles are now taken into the wind tunnel to improve the automobile’s ability to slice through the air smoothly. Since even bumper stickers or flags negatively affect the coefficient of drag, the rear-mounted spare tire was bound to disappear.

Notably, spare tires are slowly disappearing as well, with the advent of run-flat, self-inflating tires and a higher reliability overall, but the RAV4 still retains a full size spare that now simply resides beneath the cargo deck.

So the 2013 RAV4 changed the model’s outer appearance for all time, that’s not all that changed.

For example, previous models all had side swinging cargo doors, but the all new RAV4 features a power lift gate with an adjustable height setting – so you can set it to avoid overhead hazards or make room to walk beneath it.

Nevertheless, since more than 1.7 million of the first three generations were sold, the familiar and iconic RAV4 won’t fade from memory anytime soon, but it may be a while before the new embodiment is readily recognizable as what was once the first-ever crossover vehicle.

Remarkably, this new phenotype will be sold in more than 150 countries in the world, from Alaska to Australia and back again. Consequently it may not take 18 years to sell the next 1.7 million models.

Toyota planned to sell 200,000 of them last year and overshot that mark by an extra 18,000 models, so the new RAV4 is off to a great start.

That puts sales at 27 percent over the previous generation during 2012.

When we drove the 2013 Toyota RAV4 AWD XLE last year, we had

some excellent slushy, snowy weather to test its performance in inclement conditions. In one of November’s late snow and rain cocktails, the RAV4 cornered assuredly and stopped with remarkable celerity on the slipperiest urban driving conditions one encounters during most Colorado winters.

That results at least in part from the fact that RAV4 AWD models are the first Toyotas to get dynamic torque control, which works with the six-speed transmission to enhance road adhesion in all conditions.

It proved just as reliable on a short jaunt down Highway 285 South, handling passes and moving through traffic with surprising ease, given its 176 horses from a frugal four-cylinder engine. The versatile all-wheel-drive vehicle delivers EPA-rated mileage of between 22-mpg city and 29-mpg highway, even across Colorado’s undulating terrain.

The new exterior will eventually create a newer icon with its clean lines and its distinct style formed by the gentle arc of the roofline, raked windshield, accentuated wheel wells and chrome roof rails. Unfortunately, many vehicles of this type are quickly finding the same shape is the most aerodynamic, so it is not easy to stand out from the crowd.

Nobody said it was easy being green.

Other more subtle exterior features include daytime running lights, integrated fog lamps, heated side view mirrors, plus a spoiler incorporated into the rear roofline.

An exterior aspect best perceived from within the vehicle is the power moon roof.

Inside, the RAV is roomy for the vehicle’s size and even back seats have a reasonable amount of legroom when front seats are moved to the farthest rear positions. The interior is quieter because of an acoustic windshield and more private thanks to tinted side windows.

The road ready vehicle comes in three trim levels, all of which are well equipped with 6.1-inch display, rear view camera and an eight-unit airbag system. The only real option on most models is navigation.

The 2013 Toyota RAV4 AWD

XLE model test-driven is the middle of the three trims, with a base price of $25,690. Running boards and destination charges brought the final price to $27,084.

Considering at that price and trim level you get 17-inch wheels, fog lamps, power moon roof, and sports seats it would seem to be a relative value for the consumer.

“It all started 18 years ago when Toyota had a vision for a vehicle that would change the way people think of SUVs,” said Jim Colon,

vice president of Toyota Product Communications, during a media presentation last February. “And now, the fourth-generation RAV4 will let our customers go places they’ve never gone before, with all the style, comfort, features and technology they could possibly imagine.”

Maybe you can imagine a few more. If so let Toyota know – they’ve obviously been listening to consumers and will continue to do so.
