Greenwood Village P&Z sends Orchard Subarea to City Council The final vote Oct. 18 on the controversial Orchard Station Subarea plan was 6-2. The issue will now be decided by the Greenwood Village City Council.

Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Brian Anderson told the small audience that the board had heard more than four hours of testimony and had received more than 200 letters on the issue. No testimony would be presented.

A motion was made for approval by Commissioner Jon Ekoniak. Discussion was held

with commission members Elizabeth Barnacle and Brian Strandes speaking against the proposal and other members supporting it.

Traffic continued to be a major concern by those opposing the plan.

Barnacle said, “The residents don’t want the comprehensive plan amended.” She suggested a city-wide vote on the issue.

Commissioner Stephen Goldman said, “We have done as much as we possibly can, and we understand the issue,” before he urged approval of the issue.

The 6-2 passed with Strandes

and Barnacle remaining in opposition.

Members also heard an unrelated transportation-impact report from Jeremy Hanak, the city’s public works manager.

He was assisted by Josie Warren, transportation planner. The report detailed present and future traffic challenges for the city and the impacts of future developments along the I-25 corridor. The report consisted of slides and comparison of traffic usage in residential, commercial and retail locations around the city.

Hanak showed detailed information on how long drivers have had to wait in traffic

congestion, but gave an optimistic report on the Arapahoe Road/I-25 interchange project saying, “They are five months ahead of schedule.”

Slides shows satellite images of cars passing through various intersections of the city, including the delays and congestion encountered by traffic patterns.

The last item of business was a favorable vote on the Artzer subdivision rezoning at 5800-5806 S. Dayton Court, clearing title work on noncompliant issues that have created title challenges for owners. The 8-0 vote in favor of updating the rezoning sends the issue to City Council.

No overcrowding of Englewood councilmember corrects bogus claim on lawsuit Cherry Creek Schools City resident had falsely said Gillit was sued for libel

Englewood City Councilmember Rick Gillit is not being sued for slander as charged in a published Oct. 13 letter to the editor of The Villager.

“I am by no means being sued at all,” he said last week. “I am testifying as a witness in a different case, but it has nothing to do with what’s going on in Englewood at all.”

In a lengthy defense of controversial Councilmember Laurett Barrentine, Englewood resident C. Ann Dickerson made the false charge, saying she could provide documentation of Gillit’s “slanderous comments.”

On the day after publication, Dickerson wrote an email to The Villager, admitting she had made an error.

“He was served [papers] in front of me and I thought I had confirmed the reason for the service, but there was a mutual misunderstanding. Other than ‘sued for slander,’ everything else I wrote was factually correct,” the Englewood resident wrote.

In her original published letter, Dickerson also accused this reporter of “incompetence,” saying “Peter Jones should be sued for slander,” and advising, “Get better sources and vet them be-

Rick Gillit

“In politics, people can say just about anything at any time.

She’s slandering,” the councilmember said.

The Villager did not verify the existence of the slander lawsuit before publishing Dickerson’s letter and regrets this error, though editors did remove other unverifiable charges from the letter.

Dickerson’s letter had been in response to an article published in The Villager’s Sept. 29 edition. That story reported how Barrentine was being accused by some of her council colleagues, including Gillit, of hastening a lawsuit against the city by giving misinformation to a plaintiff’s attorney.

The conflict stemmed from a controversial ordinance that plaintiffs say unfairly limits convicted sex offenders to living in a patchwork that constitutes about 1 percent of the city.

According to the lawsuit’s amended filing, Barrentine told attorney Alison Ruttenberg in August that “the chance of the city agreeing to hold off on attempting to enforce the ordinance was extremely unlikely. The lawsuit was filed Aug. 18, the same day Barrentine had the alleged phone conversation with Ruttenberg, according to the attorney’s amended court filing.

Barrentine denies the charges, but has been unclear as to the nature of her conversation with Ruttenberg and hung up on the reporter during the interview.

I am by no means being sued at all. I am testifying as a witness in a different case, but it has nothing to do with what’s going on in Englewood at all.

- Englewood City Councilmember Rick Gillit fore you write such excremental slanders. …”

Gillit noted the irony in Dickerson’s recent admission of having herself spread misinformation.

Greenwood Council hears district report

Last week’s Greenwood Village City Council meeting centered on a growth report from Cherry Creek Schools Superintendent Harry Bull and Associate Superintendent Scott Siegfried.

School officials explained the methodology used to project annual enrollment at each school for each grade. They used October enrollment counts and factored in upcoming developments, such as the prospective Orchard Station Subarea.

The report looked at all types of residential property—single-family or multi-family—size and price points.

Regarding the potential development of the Orchard Station development, officials gave assurances that there is currently significant availability of residential properties near the seven elementary schools west of I-25, as well as at West Middle School and Cherry Creek High School. This has also been confirmed by David Strohfus, Cherry Creek’s director of planning and interagency relations.

In a letter to councilmembers this month, Strohfus said Greenwood Elementary’s capacity was 477.

Current enrollment is 437. Included in that number are 140 students attending either as a school of choice or nonresident, meaning they may not reside in the school district.

West Middle school has a capacity of 1,590 students with current enrollment of 1,255, with 150 students attending from outside the school’s neighborhood boundaries.

At recent planning and zoning public hearings, one of the major residential concerns expressed by younger families was the overcrowding of local schools, especially elementary schools in the area of the proposed subarea.

The major growth of the school district is on the east end.

Nov. 8 ballot proposals include the construction of one new elementary school and one new middle school on the eastern end of the district.

On Oct. 18, the Planning and Zoning Commission passed the Orchard Station proposed development package onto the City Council on a 6-2 vote. The council is expected to announce upcoming public meetings before its final vote on the proposal.

Those amendments don’t belong in state Constitution

I’m reading my election ballot and thinking about how to vote.

As a registered Republican, I will vote for most of my party nominees. As readers already know, I will cast a ballot for Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence.

But I’m interested in good government and the best people we can elect, regardless of political affiliation. I think we have good candidates on the local level from both parties. It is a shame to see the nastiness on both sides. In order to run for political office, a candidate must have some good credentials in business, nonprofit experience and local board participation.

I’ve always believed that serving on local boards, city councils, school boards and boards of county commissioners is the best training ground for higher office.

In other words, start at the bottom and work toward the top. It is not an easy journey these days and many people who would be excellent public servants don’t want the grief and ugliness associated with politics. It takes a thick skin to run for office and even more to serve.

It bothers me when people start at the top with a pocketful of money and think that they can buy the office. This usually does not have a happy ending.

I’m looking at the ballot and wondering how all of these presidential candidates got on the ballot. I’ve asked our ace reporter Peter Jones to call Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane for an explanation.

Looking at the ballot, I will proudly vote to support Cherry

Creek Schools’ proposals for school financial support, Ballot issues 3A and 3B. Cherry Creek schools excel—and money is the best ointment for good classrooms, teachers, and students. Vote yes.

I will vote for the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District’s retention of 1 cent on every $10 spent for the nonprofit community. These funds have been vital for many of our nonprofit cultural and scientific organizations and we all pitch in pennies to see that we have music, art and so many great programs. An easy choice to vote yes on 4B. Now, the ballot becomes more challenging.

I’ve been scratching my head and really agonizing over the amendments and have reached the conclusion that a no vote is best on all of them outside of the housecleaning measures of Amendment T and U. My rationale is that I don’t think any of them should end up in the Constitution of the State of Colorado, a document for the ages that should only be changed for really serious governmental issues.

For example: I think it is up to your religious beliefs, family and doctor about ending your life, not the government.

• Wages should not be in the constitution.

• The people should have a right to redress their government readily by petition.

• Blind taxes on cigarettes isn’t constitution material.

• $25 billion for healthcare should not be in the Constitution.

• Cross-party voting doesn’t belong in the Constitution Just ask yourself whether these items are lifelong issues that should be placed in our Constitution for generations to come. I think that unless you feel strongly about some of these issues you should vote no on most of them.

Candidate endorsements

Darryl Glenn, the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate. A graduate of the Air Force Academy and an El Paso County commissioner, he is

making his first bid for statewide office. A fine orator, he is full of energy, but lacks funding in this tough race. He’s young, bold and bright.

Nancy Doty for state Senate, has been a wonderful county commissioner and really knows Arapahoe County backwards and forwards. She will be an instant success in the legislature and will work for all of us. She has been on the county team that has done a remarkable job in running this county and achieving the highest financial ratings.

Mike Coffman, for 6th District U.S. congressman, born and raised in Aurora, is a hometown boy who has fought on the battlefields and Congress for his district. Mike is a financial expert, having served as our state treasurer and in the state legislature. He fights for veterans, minorities and taxpayers.

I’ll run the board with Republican state representative candidates with this thought—I see Gov. John Hickenlooper putting up yard signs for his Democratic candidates in Arapahoe County and Denver. He wants his team and he wants House and Senate control.

Conversely, we need to send a team of Republicans to the Senate and House who can work together to protect taxpayers, fund our schools, handle functions of state government and create a balanced budget.

I would urge a vote for CU Regent candidates Heidi Ganhl, founder of Camp Bow Wow, and Suzanne Sharkey. It seems that CU has become enamored with student socialism.

Cherry Hills City Councilmember Katy Brown is a MIT grad. We can use some intelligence at the Capitol.

County Commissioner Susan Beckman is another winner, who was an awesome representative preceding Nancy Doty. Beckman will make a great state representative and knows her Littleton-based district very well. Seeing two of our county commissioners, Doty and Beckman, run for higher office should make us all proud of our county—a powerful team.

Jeff Baker and Kathleen Conti are running for different county commissioner positions with huge shoes to fill. Jeff has experience in handling county-owned properties and Kathleen is a fiscal conservative, fresh from legislative service, but term-limited out of the legislature where she has guarded taxpayers well. Both are top-drawer candidates at the county level.

Depending upon where you live in this vast county, you will find serious candidates seeking to represent their respective districts. I favor Jack Tate, candidate for state Senate, and Cole West, state House. These two men are stalwart advocates for Arapahoe County.

Add to this list Richard Bowman, Spencer Wellman, Linda Garrison, Mike Donald, Phil Covarrubias and Paul Martin, all seeking state representative positions. Senate candidates are Sebastian Chunn, James Woodle and Bob Lane. Sebastian Chunn, a rising young leader, is making his first political bid against a very tough Aurora opponent.

Bob LeGare is challenging incumbent county Commissioner Bill Holen in northern Aurora.

Holen is a columnist for The Villager and is seeking his second full term. LeGare was recently reelected to the Aurora City Council and now wishes to move up to commissioner. Good luck to both fine candidates.

Arapahoe County is blessed to have many fine men and women serving on many governmental boards. They work hard, many without any remuneration for their service.

We should thank all of the candidates in both political parties in their sincere interest in wanting to serve their cities, county, schools, and continue to make this county a great place to live.

When they knock on your door, give them a check, cookie, and a smile, no matter which political party they belong to. They are wearing out their shoe leather striving to serve you and your family.

Yes 71 and 106, No on 72, Tate for Senate District 27 tution to collect signatures from cause under today’s laws, it is il- to lower some of the high costs

BY MORT REMARKS MARKS each of our 35 state Senate dis- legal for doctors to aid patients to of higher education and he will

Yes on Amendment 71 because under today’s laws, Colorado has the easiest process in our country for qualifying and passing proposed amendments to our Constitution.

Yes on Amendment 71 would make amending our Constitution harder by requiring any group proposing to change our Consti-

tricts and would also require at least 55 percent of the votes cast to vote for the change.

The passage of Amendment 71 would therefore make it harder for specific interest groups to amend our Constitution for their own interests.

No on Amendment 72 entitled the “Tobacco Tax,” though in reality less than 20 percent of the new taxes raised would go to prevent smoking.

No on Amendment 72 because the $315 million tax hike that would be raised by passing Amendment 72 would go right into our Constitution, and this tax revenue could go into various grants for special interests and could only be changed by the passage of another constitutional amendment.

Yes on Proposition 106 be-

terminate their lives, even when they are suffering unbearable pains from a terminal illness that would cause their death within six months.

Proposition 106 would allow a person who is suffering from a terrible condition that would cause their death within six months to seek aid from a doctor, who would then be allowed to help them end their life and avoid months of terrible suffering.

Jack Tate for Colorado’s state Senate District 27.

If you live in District 27, Jack Tate deserves your vote.

Tate, who was a Colorado state representative from District 37, was appointed last year to the Colorado Senate to replace David Balmer, who resigned.

As your state senator, Tate has been successful in finding ways

continue to lead in further seeking ways to lower these costs.

In this regard, he has already been recognized by the University of Colorado for carrying a bill that removed unnecessary restraints and regulations on the university. In fact, CU President Bruce Benson noted that Jack Tate’s legislation allowed them to operate more efficiently and save them millions of dollars.

When it comes to our economy, Jack has worked hard to create an environment that will make it easier for small businesses to create jobs.

Jack Tate’s excellent record of service for his districts in both Colorado’s state House and Senate deserves your vote for his reelection.

OPINION

Why Hillary is my choice

BY BILL HOLEN

ARAPAHOE COUNTY COMMISSIONER (D-5) As we approach the Nov. 8 election, it is important that we look at the qualifications of our presidential candidates.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, by any reasonable metric, is the most qualified presidential candidate.

Her experience as a longtime advocate for children’s health programs, a U.S. senator and secretary of state are but a few of her significant accomplishments from her many years of public service.

For years, Secretary Clinton has been the most investigated public servant in the history of presidential politics. Every one of those expensive multimilliondollar probes into her character and duties as secretary of state have proven there was no evidence to support the politically motivated charges.

Most recently, the so-called Benghazi investigation spent

more than 11 hours questioning the secretary on her role during the attack on the foreign consult.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the Benghazi Committee, accused her of complicity in the failed attempt to save the ambassador and three security personnel. The investigation found that the secretary was not at fault, confirming the findings of four other congressional investigations that came to the same conclusion.

The secretary’s experience as a member of the Senate Armed Services committee is another example of her readiness to hit the ground running as our next president. She understands the important challenges of governing this nation and will represent the true importance of responsible governance.

Hillary is a fighter whose record reflects an abiding commitment to the citizens of this blessed nation.

On the other hand, Donald Trump’s adlibs and vague, simplistic policies shouted from the stage during rallies, where he claims he’ll destroy ISIS and fire all the generals, raises concern about his qualification to be presi-

dent. Stating that he knows more about the national security threats than the Department of Defense, the CIA and all the other intelligence agencies would be comical if the claims had not come for a presidential candidate.

Donald Trump’s impulsive, uncontrolled and abusive rhetoric is an embarrassment to this country.

His lack of understanding of fundamental issues facing this nation, such as national security and foreign policy, are subject to intense criticism from both Republican and Democratic defense experts.

With Trump as the Republican presidential candidate at the top of the ticket, it has become problematic to Republican leaders and down-ticket Republican candidates. Trump’s diminishing support among this group of candidates emphasizes the vulnerability of the entire Republican Party and its possible loss of both House and Senate majorities.

Secretary Clinton has the experience, judgement and sincere compassion to lead the American people and become the first woman president of the United States of America.

Great Outdoors Colorado has awarded South Suburban Parks and Recreation $1 million for the completion of the East Bank segment of the Mary Carter Greenway Trail.

Map courtesy pf South Suburban

Carter Greenway Trail completion funds Continued from Page 2 An estimated 500,000 people use the Greenway annually, including bikers, rafters, kayakers, tubers, walkers and runners. The project will help alleviate overcrowding and increase safety for all users by spreading out traffic and giving cyclists and pedestrians better opportunities for separation on a crowded trail.

Like other sections of the Greenway, the East Bank segment will be concrete to provide an all-weather surface for multi-use modes of transportation, such as

roller blades, bicycles, pedestrians, strollers, etc. It also allows the trail to be shoveled in the winter.

The 10-foot-wide trail will meander through Sheridan and connects to Englewood and Littleton.

South Suburban will maintain the new section, along with other stretches of the Greenway that fall within the district. Construction is slated to begin soon and the project is expected to be completed by June 2017.

South Suburban provides and manages more than 3,800 acres of natural open space and 100 miles of trails, as well as parks and play-

grounds, recreational facilities and programs for 150,000 residents living in Littleton, Lone Tree, Sheridan, Columbine Valley, Bow Mar, western Centennial and portions of unincorporated Jefferson, Douglas and Arapahoe counties.

The $1 million grant is part of GOCO’s new Connect Initiative, which allocated $10 million in grants that will close critical gaps in trail networks across the state.

COCO’s Connect Initiative will invest $30 million over the next three years in closing trail gaps and creating safe access for all Coloradans to the outdoors.

LETTERS

Amendment 69: Opportunity for Change

I support ColoradoCare-Amendment 69 because it will provide access to affordable, quality healthcare for all Coloradans.

This matters to the families of Coloradans who die each year because they don’t have health insurance; to those declaring bankruptcy because they can’t pay medical bills; to those who pay ever higher premiums for increasing deductibles and more limited benefits; to healthcare providers who deal with more paperwork and red tape to provide patients the care they need.

We can change that situation by voting YES on Amendment 69 to implement a nonprofit, resident-owned, non-governmental healthcare financing system designed to ensure comprehensive healthcare for all Coloradans.

The economics are straightforward. $25 billion in taxes will replace $30 billion Coloradans now pay in insurance premiums, deductibles, and co-pays. That savings will stay in Colorado to stimulate local economies.

Amendment 69 was developed by Coloradans including healthcare and mental health professionals. It is funded by Colora-

dans and was brought to the ballot by over 100,000 voters signing petitions. Opposers are primarily funded by out-of-state insurance companies that stand to lose profit if Coloradans self-insure.

ColoradoCare would be run by a 21-member board elected by and accountable to Colorado residents, not governmentcontrolled. Healthcare practitioners would practice in the setting of their choice and be paid competitive rates. Patients will choose their practitioner. Premium taxes can be increased only by a majority vote of Colorado residents.

Most families, individuals and businesses will pay less in premium taxes than they currently pay for health insurance. Calculate your projected expense at coloradocare.org.

Multiple analyses show ColoradoCare to be successful for 10 years without a premium tax increase. By contrast, health insurance premiums are projected to rise 20-40% in 2017 alone.

This is an opportunity to ensure all Coloradans have access to quality healthcare now and in the future.

Sweeney a hoot

Kudos to Bob Sweeney! His interesting editorial “Can I buy you a drink? Donald Trump is the best choice for president” (Oct. 20) goes WAAAAAY overboard. What a hoot!

There’s no need to do fact checking (The facts appear to be accurate) or a point-bypoint refutation (His impact doesn’t come from logic). He has managed to celebrate a portion of our country’s unique foundation and success, then has detoured into selling sex, Donald Trump, and taking on the world.

I’ve read it carefully and come away entertained and even more confident in my vote for Hillary Clinton.

Vote for a womanizer?

So, we should vote for a womanizer, instead of a woman with vast political wisdom and experience? We should vote for a buffoon just because he’s male and Middle Eastern nations don’t value women? If Trump can’t be trusted if there are women at the bar, how in God’s name can we trust him with the leadership of our country?

Oppose Dan Kagan, for Doty

With all the political mail pieces flying around Arapahoe County these days, it is important to understand just how far to the left Democrat Rep. Dan Kagan truly is.

Before readers vote in the Senate District 26 race, I hope they will consider some recent votes of Kagan’s – all of which fell right in line with his leadership.

In 2013, Dan Kagan voted in favor of a bill that provides sex education for grades 4-12. But Dan Kagan also voted for the original bill which included K-3! That original bill is described as providing “comprehensive human sexuality education” to children as young as 5.

Also in 2013, Dan Kagan voted to create a new school finance act that resulted in a ballot question to voters that would have approved a $1 billion tax increase (Amendment 66) for education. Voters rejected Amendment 66 by a two-to-one margin.

Back in 2011, Kagan voted in favor of the state health insurance exchange, which has cost Colorado taxpayers millions of dollars with limited positive results for consumers.

Then in 2015, Dan Kagan attended a prosocialized medicine rally at the Capitol and

praised government control of health care.

We live in an economically, ethnically and geographically diverse County. Arapahoe is home to Independents, Republicans, Democrats, and every political persuasion in between. We need leadership in the Colorado Senate that will be reflective of our common values – not just those of the far left.

By common values I mean jobs, affordable housing and greater choices in health care just to name a few. Nancy Doty will bring balance, common sense and a diverse business background to the Colorado Senate. Nancy Doty been endorsed by several business advocacy groups such as the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry, Colorado Concern and National Federation of Independent Business.

We need a pro-business, job-creating dynamo with a record of success occupying the Senate District 26 seat in the Colorado Legislature, not someone who is so clearly out of step with most of Arapahoe County.

Please vote for Nancy Doty, State Senate District 26.

Nancy Sharpe Arapahoe County Commissioner, District 2

GUEST COLUMN Is the press an essential check or a campaign department?

BY RANDY INGERSOLL

The founding fathers assured freedom of the press, and put it high in importance. It is in the First Amendment.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government or a redress of grievances.” The American Revolution was a revolution of literature as well as politics. The Colonists published newspaper articles, books, essays, and pamphlets in opposition to

various forms of British tyranny.

A couple of examples are: Thomas Paine’s Common Sense and Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence. They knew all too well how dissenters were treated in Britain. Our founding fathers knew this specific freedom was an essential check against despotism, and integral to advancing human understanding of the sciences, technology (today), arts and humanities. James Madison said; “The security of the freedom of the press requires that it should be exempt, not only from previous restraint (not judging before published but could be after), but also from legislative

restraint.”

Should America expect anything from the “press”? Do they have a responsibility inherent in the role of being an “essential check”? Journalists have an ethical code, which in part is to ensure the right of citizens to truthful and important information. The journalist must defend the freedom of speech, retain independence of his/her political views and convictions. He/she must resist any efforts to distort information. In their professional activities, they should remain neutral and objective.

There are opinion shows, and shows that claim to be “news

outlets.” Whether through the airways, written word, or voiced on a “news” program. We know one program is touted as opinion, but others on the same “station” as journalistic news.

Concerning this presidential race, and the watchdog companies that keep track of time spent on negative stories (when they are out there for both candidates), it may be a legitimate concern for the American people to question whether the “press” is doing its job, or has become a campaign department.

During the writing of the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers, the newspapers were so biased,

it has often been referred to the “dark ages of journalism.” If we take a look at the major media, many believe that is the direction we have headed or reached. If you choose, it is easy to get information overload. Trying to fill in a 24/7 media cycle has opened the door to many opinion programs.

They appear to have overflowed into the news programs in such a way, it is difficult to tell the difference. The freedom of the press is such an important check system, it may be time for each media group, and America, to evaluate the original reason news men and women came to the news industry.

Into the great minimum wage mess we charge

BY TONY GAGLIARDI By now, most Coloradans who intend to vote are well aware of what Amendment 70 would do: Raise the state’s minimum-wage rate. This doesn’t mean they necessarily understand what the minimum-wage rate is and what increases do.

Old definitions and arguments don’t seem to hold much sway with voters, so let us propose something new: The minimum wage is a political wage earned by politicians and labor-financed cause groups looking for votes from an overwhelming majority of people who haven’t earned a minimum wage since high school.

Successful selling of minimumwage increases in legislatures and by ballot initiatives across the country have relied on two myths that are the pillars holding up a great lie.

Poverty

The first myth is that regular minimum-wage increases are needed to keep people from slipping into poverty or to lift them out of it.

Economist David Neumark of the University of California Irvine is one of the nationally renowned experts on the minimum wage.

In a December 2015 article for

the Federal Reserve Board of San Francisco, Reducing Poverty Via Minimum Wages, Alternatives, he points out, “Setting a higher minimum wage seems like a natural way to help lift families out of poverty. However, minimum wages target individual workers with low wages, rather than families with low incomes. As a result, a large share of the higher income from minimum wages flows to higherincome families. Other policies that directly address low family income, such as the earned income tax credit, are more effective at reducing poverty.

“The ineffective targeting of low-income families does not imply that higher minimum wages do not, on net, help the poor. Instead, the implication is that, for every dollar of benefit to poor families, there is also a large benefit to nonpoor families. This makes the minimum wage an inefficient redistributional policy.”

In another article for the Federal Reserve, Neumark teamed up with William Wascher, a researcher for the board of governors of the Federal Reserve Bank, to pore over all the credible literature on minimum-wage studies and concluded, “ … we see very few — if any — provide convincing evidence

of positive employment effects of minimum wages … the studies that focus on the least-skilled groups provide relatively overwhelming evidence of stronger disemployment effects for these groups.”

Consumer Price Index

The second myth is the pixie dust thrown in the eyes of voters to make them believe that linking minimum-wage increases to yearly increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) forever solves the issue and keeps it out of the realm of politics. Amendment 42 put paid to that lie.

Remember it? Colorado voters passed it in 2006. It raised the state’s minimum-wage rate and linked it to yearly increases in the CPI. So if it worked, why the need for Amendment 70?

To whatever small credit you can give for slyness to the alchemists who concocted Amendment 70, it is that they, too, realize what a sales sham CPI increases are.

“Although Amendment 70 and current law both use the CPI to adjust the minimum wage,” says the Blue Book of the Colorado General Assembly’s Legislative Council, “Amendment 70 prevents a decrease in the minimum wage if the cost of living falls.”

So what is the point of the CPI at all, if it’s not truly an adjustment and if it supposedly didn’t work to keep up with the cost of living under Amendment 42? Amendment 70 would set new minimum-wage rates on every January 1 of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2010—regardless of the CPI. But wait! You can just hear one of the initiative’s authors decrying, let’s keep the CPI in Amendment 70 just in case there is some fool who thinks it matters.

Politics

Gov. John Hickenlooper knows what damage minimumwage rates can have on job-creation and job-retention. He once owned a business, and he early on expressed his apprehension about Amendment 70’s impact on Colorado’s rural and smaller communities. But the political John Hickenlooper came out for

its passage a week before ballots began being sent to Colorado voters—although his endorsement of Amendment 70 set no bar for enthusiasm.

Should you vote for Amendment 70, remember: You are helping the labor unions raise their base negotiating level for their members who are earning far above the minimum wage already; and, you are reducing employment opportunities for teens, young adults and the low-skilled.

A rise in the minimum wage has never lifted someone out of poverty—and never will. If the objective is to raise an individual’s power to earn a living wage, then let’s work together to empower that individual with the necessary education and work skills which have been proven to alleviate poverty.

Tony Gagliardi is Colorado state director for the National Federation of Independent Business.

18th Judicial District to hold Family Law Fair

v

DOWNTOWN OFFICE: 730 17th Street, #230 Denver, Colorado 80202

The 18th Judicial District (Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties) has scheduled a Family Law Fair in Douglas County to provide assistance to people representing themselves in family law matters.

The event, set for 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 3, in the jury assembly room of the Douglas County Justice Center (4000 Justice Way in Castle Rock), will of-

fer a free parenting class to meet requirements for court-ordered class in domestic cases, as well as on-site mediation, opportunities to talk to an attorney, assistance filling out court forms and explanations of processes for family and civil cases.

It is co-sponsored by the Douglas-Elbert Bar Association, 18th Judicial District Access to Justice Committee and the Doug-

las County Family Court Facilitator and Self-Help Center. Interactions with volunteer attorneys and court staff at the event are not a substitution for legal representation.

Pre-registration is required for the parenting class and mediation. To register, contact event coordinators at18courthelpcenter@ judicial.state.co.us.

Colorado awarded $1.8 million for apprenticeship programs Federal dollars to increase outreach to under-represented population

The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded $1.8 million to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment to expand and strengthen apprenticeship programs. Apprenticeships play a vital role in preparing the state’s workforce with the knowledge, qualifications and competencies they need to ensure Colorado maintains a strong and highly skilled workforce.

The grant will help apprenticeships and career-based learning programs grow and expand as outreach is made to low-income adults, individuals with disabilities, women and minorities who have too often been left out of apprenticeship efforts in in-demand fields.

The grant dollars will also

make apprenticeship programs available in school districts across Colorado. For many high school students uncertain of the future, a career pathway model that was developed in Switzerland will give them an opportunity to pursue a classroom education along with an apprenticeship.

It is an alternative pathway to a rewarding career.

In addition, there are an estimated 110,000 youth in Colorado who are not connected to either work or school. For them, an apprenticeship can move them beyond that first rung on a career ladder.

Apprenticeships are often assumed to be restricted to traditional industries, such as construction and manufacturing but in reality they can prepare people in such diverse industries as information technology, healthcare, energy, aerospace and more.

Apprenticeships offer businesses a talent pool of applicants

with job-related experience, allowing employers to save significant sums in recruitment and training costs. However, a robust apprenticeship system presents just as many advantages to Colorado workers, enhancing their skill set and self-esteem and increasing their value in the workforce. Apprenticeships provide a highly cost-effective mechanism for developing workplace skills and reducing unemployment.

“Workforce development and apprenticeships are critically linked and this $1.8 million grant will provide great support to Colorado’s efforts,” says Ellen Golombek, executive director of the Department of Labor and Employment. “The creation of work-based training that meets the needs of Colorado employers and workers alike is key to Gov. John Hickenlooper’s call to build up the middle class. When apprenticeships grow in Colorado, opportunities grow with them.”

Apply to serve on Arapahoe County Liquor Board The Arapahoe County Board of Commissioners is seeking applications from residents who reside or own property in unincorporated Arapahoe County to serve on the Liquor Authority.

The Liquor Authority conducts public hearings for all applications related to new alcohol licenses, the consideration of a change of location for a current license, and alleged violations of the Colorado Liquor and Beer

Codes and controversial issues pertaining to the liquor-licensing process and/or laws in unincorporated Arapahoe County.

Liquor Authority meetings are held as needed in Arapahoe County Administration, West Hearing Room, 5334 S. Prince St. in Littleton.

The deadline to apply is Nov. 15. Appointments will be made in February 2017. Applicants will be given a background check pri-

or to being appointed.

A Dynamix of Body Solutions

BY PETER JONES NEWS EDITOR

Like necessity, sometimes experience is the mother of invention.

Casey Whitney, a registered nurse, might have never opened the new Dynamix Body Solutions Studio were it not for her less than stellar visit two years ago to another service provider.

“I was having a lot of trouble losing weight from my fourth kid— then somebody mentioned CoolSculpting to me,” she said.

That proprietary nonsurgical fatfreezing procedure, the only technique of its kind to be cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, had been making its way into the body-sculpting industry for a few years—but Whitney found the associated customer service to be almost as cold as the high-tech applicators attached to her body.

“There was one technician, who was not trained medically at all,” the businesswoman recalled. “Every time she got a phone call, she had to leave. She left the applicators on longer than they should be on. They didn’t have pillows or a blanket.

I had to walk to the elevator to get to the bathroom. When I left, they handed me a bag of chips.”

Since lighting the new Dynamix in Centennial six months ago, Whitney has striven to ensure that her own studio’s customer experience is more dynamite than mix-up.

If the equipment is to be state of the art, she figured, so should the service levels.

For one, clients get undivided attention from two trained specialists—graduates of CoolSculpting University in Pleasanton, Calif., no less. A dietician and medical doctor are also part of the studio’s part-time staff.

“People say how much better they feel here. It’s because of our

staff. We hand-select people and that’s very important,” Whitney said, noting Dynamix’s rare use of multiple treatments conducted simultaneously. “You just kind of lay back—we have Netflix.”

Such appointments also include a free trip to the studio’s Netflixequipped infrared dry sauna.

And as for that bag of chips on the way out—Dynamix clients get a complimentary lunch from the studio’s neighboring Mad Greens.

CoolSculpting, an increasingly popular body-sculpting technique is not just known for its “coolness.”

The procedure literally uses “cold”

to kill fat. The machine invented by a Harvard scientist was based on the simplest of scientific observations.

“They realized kids were getting dimples from sucking on Popsicles in the summer,” Whitney said.

“They realized the cold was actually freezing fat cells, killing them. The effect is less inches and a smaller sculpted body. I had always been a little bit self-conscious, but I got the CoolSculpting done, it changed the shape of my body. People noticed.”

The result, the nurse says, is something physical trainers have said for years was impossible—the spot reduction of fat in select problem areas of the body.

“A lot of people say it’s kind of relaxing,” she said, noting the ad hoc ways some people have tried to get the same results less effectively.

“There are people who have tried to freeze their fat by sitting in a tub of ice—you can go on YouTube.”

Other more conventional treatments available at Dynamix include temporary cellulite reduction through what is called the Z Wave machine.

“It’s like a jackhammer, but it

actually feels really good,” Whitney said.

Dynamix similarly offers skin tightening through something called microneedling, which the nurse says is not as scary as it sounds.

“We create little holes in the face and it creates collagen production, so it will fill in wrinkles, as well as acne scars,” she said. “There are 12 microneedles in the pen and we rub it across the face. I don’t feel it at all when it happens to me.”

Although the studio offers a wide range of services, the owner stresses that the products are not for everyone and says she sometimes turns down business when she does not think the client would see any benefit.

“We’re very realistic. This is not a life changer in and of itself,” Whitney said. “You’re going to have to change your diet. You’re going to have to continue to exercise. I would say 90 percent of our clients are very healthy already. They just have problem areas.”

The client base is about 80 percent women.

As a studio sitting at the cusp of technological advance, Whitney expects new and improved services in the months and years ahead.

“We are constantly evaluating new technology,” she said.

Not to mention old habits.

“Whenever I want to define my cheek, I suck on Popsicles,” Whitney said with a laugh.

Villager publisher takes flight Flexjet unveils new Legacy 400 aircraft

I have memories of wonderful airplane flight experiences, and some not so great. But flying is wonderful, and airplanes have changed our world and our lives. Close to home, right here in Arapahoe County, we have Centennial Airport, one of the nation’s finest general-aviation airports.

DTC founder George Wallace loved to fly, had a bi-plane doublewing stunt plane that he would pilot over DTC himself, doing rolls over his burgeoning empire of steel and glass buildings surrounded by expansive parks and green space.

George wanted to build his business park close to an airport, which he accomplished with the DTC. A visionary, he looked to the future and saw the boom of air travel for business and pleasure.

There were the airport wars, residents pitted against runway activities, controversy over scheduled passenger

But peace and harmony have reigned for at least a decade and Centennial Airport has expanded and now is home to luxury jet planes, chartered flights and private jet planes that travel the world from Arapahoe County.

Business taxes roll in and planes fly out, everyone wins, and those who love the speed, efficiency and comfort of private jet travel revel in the progress of local flight convenience. There are beautiful private jet planes that can send Broncos executives like John Elway flying to a far-off destination. The service end of flights provides hun-

dreds of jobs to local area residents in an expanding travel industry.

We have a number of airport services and firms operating at the airport including The Landing, one of the area’s finest restaurants.

A jet-scene invitation

It was in this vein that an invitation arrived at The Villager to view and learn about the new Legacy 450 business jet that is now flying out of Centennial Airport by Flexjet, one of the nation’s largest private jet-fleet operators out of Cleveland, Ohio.

The invitation was to meet executive Adam Tibbitts for a tour of the spanking new Canadian Embraer 450 and to learn about Flexjet and fractional plane ownership for Denver customers.

I’m reminded of retired Denver Post Publisher Dean Singleton, who had his own jet plane to travel to his 160 publications around the United States. I flew with him on one occasion to Lincoln, Neb., where we were both inducted into Nebraska Press Association honorary Admirals Club for service to the newspaper industry. It was followed up by a Big Red football game in the Lincoln Stadium that was a sea of red. It was a quick trip, there and back, in a single day, and back home for dinner that same evening.

Getting there

The airport has a large footprint and facilities have expanded around the runways. To find Flexjet, I had to travel to the south entrance of the airport on new highways that skirt the southern portion of the property. There are a number of new firms operating on the southern runway area easily ac-

cessed off Broncos Parkway.

I was greeted by Adam at the front door of Flexjet, where passengers can easily park and walk directly into the passenger area. From there, pilots take luggage and passengers board the private jets parked nearby.

Adam led me to the Legacy 450 and we climbed onboard to a dazzling cabin of white leather seats, with flowers on the table and a plate of cookies.

There is seating on the plane for eight passengers and two pilots, a lavatory and small kitchen at the rear of the cabin. The Legacy has the latest instrumentation and digital flight controls powered by two Honeywell jet engines. The plane has a cruising speed of 536 mph, a cruising altitude of 45,000 feet and range of 3,337 miles. The plane can land on shorter runways of 3,835 feet, enabling the plane to land at smaller airports.

Denver is dynamic

According to Sam Tormey of the Hubbell Group, a public-relations firm for Flexjet, business jet travel in and out Denver is seeing a big uptick.

He quotes a New York Times article praising Denver as one of the “most dynamic economies in the country.”

The article also cites Denver’s success in cultivating a now booming center for technological start-ups, corporate headquarters, commercial and residential developments, and now a major destination among wealthy business leaders and C-level executives from around the world.

Flexjet has seized this opportunity with the latest fleet of planes, including this first Legacy 450 from Embraer NYSE (ERJ).

Flexjet has become the first fractional fleet provider to take delivery of the Legacy 450, which the FAA certified in August 2015 with four more of these planes expected in the fleet by the end of this year.

Along with the 450, Flexjet 150 plane fleet includes the larger Legacy 500, smaller Learjet 75XI and midsize Challenger 350.

Opportunity

Flexjet has many options and packages for fractional ownership. Last year, Centennial Airport managed more than 26,000 private jet departures and arrivals. IA has more than 140 nonstop destinations in comparison to more than 5,000 Flexjet destinations. According to Flexjet, Denver is ranked in the top 4 percent of the most affluent areas in the United States.

Fractional-ownership customers can buy a share in a specific aircraft and fly a fixed number of hours. For example, a one-eighth share would allow a client to fly up to 100 hours annually.

Flexjet is offering a newly launched premium that includes the same crew on the same plane for every flight. All of the fleet planes are less than 5 years old.

South Metro and DispatchHealth to offer free flu clinic South Metro Fire Rescue in partnership with DispatchHealth will offer a free flu clinic on Saturday, Oct. 29, from 9-11 a.m. The clinic will be offered at Station 34 on 8871 Maximus Drive in Lone Tree. Flu shots will be free to the public and available to those age 4 and older. No appointments are necessary.

“As we head into flu season, South Metro Fire Rescue and DispatchHealth share a common goal to help ensure that everyone in our community has the opportunity to get a flu shot and be protected,” said Eric Bleeker, EMS supervisor with South Metro Fire Rescue. “Getting vaccinated decreases the risk of becoming infected, the more people who get vaccinated, the more everyone will be protected.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months and older. The organization says the flu season typically peaks between December and March and can last as late as May. Health officials encourage people to get their flu shots as early as possible to mitigate the risks involved with the virus, such as hospitalization and extreme illness.

“We are very excited to be partnering with South Metro Fire Rescue again this year for this important event for our community,” said Kevin Riddleberger, co-founder and chief strategy officer with DispatchHealth. “One of the corporate values for DispatchHealth is community responsibility. What better way than to keep our community healthy by delivering free preventative health like the influenza vaccine as we enter flu season.”

Senior Law Day & Safety Summit

Consumer fraud protection director Barbara Martin-Worley was pleased with the summit, a first-time effort for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

By all accounts it appears the Senior Law Day & Safety Summit organized by the District Attorney’s Office of the 18th Judicial District at the Charles Schwab Events Center in Lone Tree was a success.

About 250 participants came out Oct. 14 to learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones.

“Let’s face it: You are a target audience for the con men,” District Attorney George H. Brauchler told the participants in his welcoming remarks. “And we want to give you the tools to combat them and be prepared.”

And that indeed was the case.

Attorneys, law enforcement and advocacy organizations set up booths and presented break-out sessions on various topics of interest. Experts talked about investment fraud, Medicare, advance directives, elder abuse, identity theft and reverse mortgages, among other topics.

Attendees also had access to trained Medicare counselors and attorneys who offered free confidential advice sessions.

Oliver said she was the conservator for her mother, and this wasn’t the first time she has sought out information about senior safety. “I always learn something,” she said.

“We planned this event for nine months, and we couldn’t have been successful without our steering committee, partners and volunteers,” she said. “Thank you to everyone who supported and helped us, and we hope to be back even better next year.”

Practicing faith in the media industry

BY SCOTTIE TAYLOR IVERSON

Centennial Institute’s Women 21 brought in three media personalities to share their stories and what it means to be a Christian in the media spotlight.

The familiar refrain was success achieved through authenticity and values. Alan Robertson, often referred to as the “beardless brother,” is the oldest son of Phil and Kay’s clan. He grew up hunting, fishing and helping build the family business in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

He left Duck Commander when

he received the call for ministry in 1988 and served as a senior pastor in West Monroe, La. In 2012, he rejoined the Duck Commander clan.

When asked why he chose no beard, Al said that’s what his wife, Lisa, preferred.

They have two daughters and grandchildren.

Each candidly shared imperfect journeys and solutions with faith. In addition to authoring a book that includes “all the shockers,” the couple counsels married couples and is hosting an Alaskan cruise retreat next summer.

Megan Alexander, national correspondent, TV host, producer, speaker, author, actress, wife and mother of two sons, is the family breadwinner. The wearer of many hats shared her successful balance of her career, her family (which keeps her grounded) and her faith.

Her book Faith in the Spotlight, which she autographed, shares what it takes for anyone with big

She has been honored as a champion of economic freedom by Americans for Prosperity Colorado, earning a 100 percent A+ rating based on AFP’s score card. She is only one of seven legislators to receive such a ranking.

She has been endorsed by the Colorado

Association of Commerce and Industry, Pueblo Association of Realtors, the National Federation of Independent Business, whose score card also gave her 100 percent, the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police, Colorado Rural Electric Association, Colorado Motor Carriers Association, Colorado Medical Association and the National Rifle Association.

In a recent statement, she said, “I will continue to support all of the Republican candidates on the ballot. The idea that my support has wavered or changed due to my name not being on a circulated letter mystifies me a bit, but rest assured, I’ll be supporting all Republicans on my ballot.

I have a race of my own to run and win, and that is what I’ll remain focused on. The people of House District 47 [Fremont, Otero and Pueblo counties] deserve a strong voice at the Capitol and I’m looking forward to serving them for another term.

A total of 180 grants were awarded in 47 counties across the state totaling $1.3 million, an increase from the 162 grants awarded last year.

The agency’s grants benefit both small and large communities, and 47 percent of grant funds were awarded in towns and cities located outside the Denver metro area.

Colorado Creates is CCI’s largest grant program, providing critical financial support that helps nonprofit cultural organizations and government agencies produce and present arts and cultural activities, bringing jobs to their communities and enhancing their quality of life.

Grants are awarded annually on a competitive basis and provide a seal of excellence that helps organizations leverage local and national funds.

“The state is experiencing healthy growth in the creative economy, due in large part to combined state, local and regional efforts to advance support for artists, non-profit arts organizations, and creative place making efforts,” said director of Colorado Creative Industries Margaret Hunt. “We applaud the talented and hard-working groups that contribute to our state’s vibrant economy and, just as importantly, to our amazing quality of life. We are glad to support their work with the Colorado Creates grants each year.”

A ‘Rubric’ for city government

“Rubric,” a new city-commissioned artwork adjacent Cherry Hills Village Police Department, was unveiled Oct. 6. Made of marble and inflated stainless steel, it took Denver artist Emmett Culligan more than 500 hours to construct the figurative piece. “There are four forms interacting together in this sort of participatory way. It’s moving forward in this way that communities do,” Culligan said. “…

I spent every single minute of the last two months. You can ask my wife. We worked on it right up until the very last second.”

A tasteful affair

16th Taste of Greenwood Village a succulent sell-out

The lion’s share of the sold-out Taste of Greenwood Village was held in the new grand ballroom of the Marriott DTC, where about 60 restaurants ensured that no taster left hungry.

The friendly Chelsea Guettler offers up some hearty Irish fare from Slatterly’s Irish Pub. Jazz pianist Jennifer Lane fires up the keys for VIPs.

About 60 Denver-area restaurants kept the annual Taste of Greenwood Village true to its name on Oct. 20 as metro foodies sampled from dozens of cuisines and washed it all down with some of the finest in local beer and wines. The sold-out affair at the recently remodeled Marriott Denver Tech Center was again presented by the DTC/Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce, with the Cherry Creek Schools Foundation as the partnering nonprofit.

Carol Lee Robinson Funeral services for Carol Lee Robinson were held Oct. 20, at the Greenwood Community Church in Greenwood Village. Carol Lee died Oct. 17, 2016 after a five-year struggle with dementia and accompanying diseases.

Carol Lee Peter was born January 11, 1938, in rural Sherman County, Kansas, to Philip Peter and Fern Johnson Peter.

She attended a country school through the eighth grade and graduated in 1955 from Sherman Community High School in Goodland, Kan. She attended business college in Denver before returning to her hometown to serve jointly as secretary of the Goodland Chamber of Commerce and as the community’s Western Union agent.

She and Roy Robinson were married July 31, 1960, in Goodland. In 1961, the couple moved to Lamar. In 1966, the couple purchased the weekly Ute Pass Courier newspaper in Woodland Park. Both their children, son Robert and daughter Michelle, began kindergarten and graduated from high school in Woodland Park.

They were active in newspaper publishing in Cripple Creek, Eagle, Westminster and Fort Morgan, before moving in 1998 to Graham, Texas. They

returned to Colorado in 2014, when her advancing illness required more family care and assistance.

She is survived by her husband, Roy, of Denver; her son, Robert, also of Denver; her daughter, Michelle Koenig, and son-in-law, Mark Koenig, of Centennial; a grandson, Jonathan Kopec, of Centennial; a granddaughter, Nadia Robinson, of Pueblo; her brother, Dean Peter, of Westminster; two sisters, Bonnie Jones of Westminster and Kathy Schupp of Aurora; two aunts and numerous cousins.

Arapahoe Philharmonic presents “Great Masters” Silent Auction at Friday, Nov. 4 Performance

The Arapahoe Philharmonic presents its second program of the season, “Great Masters,” featuring Johannes Brahms’s Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn, Op. 56a and Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 in C major (Great), D. 944.

The first performance takes place on Friday, Nov. 4, at South Suburban Christian Church, 7275 S. Broadway in Littleton. The program is also presented on Saturday, Nov. 5, at Aspen Academy, 5859 S. University Boulevard in Greenwood Village. Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be preceded by a talk with Maestro Devin Patrick Hughes at 6:45 p.m. On Friday, Nov. 4, a Silent Auction will also be held starting at 6:30 p.m. to support the Arapahoe Philharmonic’s concerts, outreach and education programs. An online auction, via Bidding for Good, is also running through 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at bidding

forgood.com/arapahoephil.

Season ticket packages and single tickets may be purchased online at arapahoe-phil.org or by calling the Arapahoe Philharmonic office at 303-781-1892.

Brahms’ Variation on a Theme

by Joseph Haydn was composed in the summer of 1873. It is also known by the name The Saint Anthony Variations, being a theme and variations based on Haydn’s Chorale St. Antoni, though there is question as to whether Haydn truly was the composer of that work. The great compositional imagination of Brahms is explored throughout the eight distinct variations, culminating

in a transcendent finale.

After Beethoven’s incredible Ninth Symphony, composers have always felt the ominous expectation for their own ninth symphonies. Living in the massive shadow of Beethoven left composers with the seemingly insurmountable task of writing a great ninth, but there is a reason Schubert’s 9th has been nicknamed “The Great.” As a composer of over six hundred lieder, Schubert employs his skill as a fine melodist with compelling, memorable airs, making this symphony one of his own personal greats, and one of the greatest pieces of music in the symphonic repertoire.

Help plan the next decade for parks, trails and open space South Suburban Parks and Recreation is developing its first district-wide Master Plan for the community’s parks, trails, open space and facilities. The new Master Plan will direct big-picture decisions and funding priorities for the next 10 years. The district wants to know what’s important to residents, including future improvements needed for parks, trails, open spaces, recreation facilities and programs.

The public is encouraged to attend one of two meetings: • Thursday, Nov. 10, 6:30 - 8 p.m. at Goodson Recreation Center, 6315 S. University Blvd. in Centennial • Thursday, Nov. 17, 6:30 - 8 p.m. at Lone Tree Golf Club & Hotel, 9808 Sunningdale Blvd.

More than 2,000 participants took part in a summer survey and Design Workshop consultants have used that feedback to develop draft-

plan goals. At the meetings, consultants will present a draft of their recommendation themes, which include: • Maintenance and upgrading • Connections to nature • Enriching wellness • Sustainability Beginning Nov. 11, those unable to attend can review presentation materials and provide feedback to draft recommendations via an online poll at ssprd.org/master-plan.

Orvis receives Hall of Fame salute at CU

The University of Colorado, the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame jointly honored Herb Orvis, formerly of southeast Aurora, with an NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute, presented

by Fidelity Investments, on Oct. 15.

The salute was held at Folsom Field in Boulder during the sell-out homecoming Buffalos’ game against Arizona State. CU won 40-16.

“First of all, it’s a great surprise” Orvis said in January after the learning he would be inducted into the coveted National College Football Hall of Fame. “A run of vivid memories come back to mind ... the players you get to play with, the coaches you played for, the games. They all eventually disappear into another life, but an honor like this brings it all back together—just the excitement of playing on a great team and the love of the game. This is truly an unexpected honor.”

After the whirlwind series of activities this past weekend, Orvis said “I want to sincerely thank everyone at the University of Colorado and the NFF for this tremendous honor.

I had a good time rekindling friendships with former players and fans, and it was great to see the Buffs rise again to be a football powerhouse dynasty.”

The NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute program, which began with the inaugural class in 1951, has become a hallowed tradition, and to this day the singular events remain the first of numerous activities in each inductee’s Hall of Fame experience.

Herron and stars from ‘The Bachelor’ series help raise fetal health awareness at Great Candy Run More than 6,000 runners and walkers expected at Wash Park Nov. 6

Evergreen-native Sarah Herron, who appeared on ABC’s “The Bachelor” (2013) and “Bachelor in Paradise” (2014, 2016) will be in Colorado for the 13th Annual Great Candy Run. Set for Sunday, Nov. 6, in Denver’s Washington Park, this fun-filled event benefits the Fetal Health Foundation, which provides assistance to families experiencing complicated pregnancies and funds research into fetal syndromes.

Herron was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome, a fetal syndrome that affected her left arm and caused life-long insecurities.

Following this year’s season pre-

miere of Bachelor in Paradise, Herron received a great deal of social media support after being verbally abused by a bachelor for her birth defect. It is this type of behavior that prompted Herron, who now lives in Los Angeles, to create SheLift. A nonprofit, SheLift empowers girls to conquer their personal obstacles by providing them with the tools, experiences and mentorship to work toward living an inspired, authentic life.

In addition to learning more

about SheLift, visitors to Herron’s booth in the Great Candy Run expo area will have an opportunity to have their picture taken with some of their favorite personalities from the popular ABC television shows.

Herron has invited several of her friends, including Carly Waddell and Evan Bass, JJ Lane, Trista and Ryan Sutter, and Jade and Tanner Tolbert, to join her at the event.

Presented by The Colorado Institute for Maternal and Fetal Health, the Great Candy Run is sweet fun

for all ages. In addition to the 5K Run/Walk which includes a competitive Stroller Division and a free Coda Coffee Gumdrop Kids Fun Run, activities will include costume contests, prize money, medals for all finishers, on-course entertainment, celebrity appearances by local mascots, a huge post-race expo area, and, of course, plenty of candy. New this year is a Jelly Belly Jelly Bean Village featuring four tasting booths including BeanBoozled, the popular spinner game where contestants receive either a sweet and tasty bean or a weird and wild flavor depending on the luck of the spin. Visit thegreatcandyrun.com/denver-2016/ for event details and registration.

The Fetal Health Foundation is a leader, nationally and internationally, in supporting families and

medical treatment centers dealing with intrauterine fetal syndromes.

The Littleton-based nonprofit organization connects families diagnosed with a fetal disorder to toprated medical specialists and funds research to improve outcomes in fetal conditions. Learn more about the Fetal Health Foundation at fetalhealthfoundation.org.

SheLift aims to provide healing and prevention of insecurities for girls who’ve been made to feel “different” by empowering them to conquer their personal obstacles with the tools, experiences and mentorship to work towards living an inspired, authentic life.

Kick-off for Hope Ball 2017 & holiday party

Littleton resident Kyle Orlowski takes a photo of his wife Kristin and 6-month-old daughter Madelyn while pumpkin shopping at Jared’s Garden Center.

A great pumpkin, Charlie Brown Jared’s expects to sell 5,000 distinctive pumpkins

Halloween enthusiasts taking advantage of exceptionally warm weather are making their annual pilgrimage to local garden centers and grocery stores.

Their mission: To pick out their favorite seasonal vegetable from the autumn harvest.

Pumpkins, part of the squash family, come in all shapes, sizes and colors, and some of the more distinctive ones have green, brown and orange warts atop their typical orange skin.

Again this year, Jared’s Nursery & Garden Center in Littleton held its annual fall festivities.

“This is the 11th year that we had our giant pumpkin festival and contest,” said Loren Bauman, a manager whose family owns the 25-acre center. “The biggest pumpkin that was weighed was 1,685.5 pounds. It was a brand new Colorado state record.

Joe Scherber, a Wheat Ridge dentist, grew that massive squash.

This winning entry was part of the worldwide competition overseen by the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, whose mission is to promote growing giant pumpkins.

“It went to the great pumpkin patch in the sky,” Bauman said of its fate. “They cut out the pumpkin seeds and we had it on display for two to three weeks, and then it needed to go visit the compost pile.”

Typically, pumpkin growers cut out the seeds so they can harvest them and then cross them next year to grow an-

other batch.

Local winners still on display at Jared’s include pumpkins weighing between 462 and 624 pounds— massive pumpkins that are deserving of a look.

Jared’s obtains its distinctive crop from a farm just outside Hudson. The nursery anticipates selling more than 5,000 pumpkins in advance of Halloween. On Oct. 23 alone, the store sold more than 700.

“We like pumpkins that have some variety that will have character … so they just don’t look like everyone else’s, a little bit more natural, kind of a little bit more old school,” Bauman said. “Variety is the spice of life when it comes to pumpkins.”

Boyfriends and girlfriends were taking selfies in several areas set up for photographs, with dozens of pumpkins speckling the foreground. Meanwhile, young couples placed their infants atop assorted pumpkins for a colorful photo opportunity, and grandparents and families were sitting atop the hay bales to capture the festive fall colors.

Littleton residents Kyle and Kristen Orlowski took their 6-month-old daughter Madelyn to her first pumpkin outing, as she curiously took in all the sights and sounds.

“It’s exciting for us right now … out here looking at pumpkins and scarecrows and cornstalks and all that.

She’s out looking, taking it all in,” Kyle said, taking photos of his wife and daughter, noting that Madelyn was going to be a pink little bunny this year for Halloween. “We’re excited. This is our first year with Madelyn to dress her up and show her off to the neighbors.”

Bauman especially liked the distinctive tiger-striped pumpkins, noting they were orange, with yellow speck-

les from top to bottom.

Jared’s offers a large corn pit for children to enjoy—like a sandbox, but filled with more than one ton of dried corn. There is also a massive maze consisting of hay bales, free for children to explore.

A professional haunted house for those into being spooked is open to the public after 4 p.m. at a cost of $18. Discount coupons are available.

Cancer League of Colorado had their kick-off for the Hope Ball 2017 at the Woodhouse Spa of Broadway and County Line Road. It was announced that Barb Reece and Diane BrandonHadley would be the co-chairs for the ball and that Randy and Kori White would be the 2017 Champions of Hope.

The Cancer League Holiday Party will be chaired by Lori Marks Connors and Elise Marks Gruitch on Dec. 2 in a Cherry Hills Village home. Location to be announced later. Members and future new members are invited to contribute $25 in cash or gift certificates (to be used at the Ball). Vendors will be selling their wares with a percentage going to Cancer League.

DPD nabs another smash-and-grab suspect Man used pry bar to burglarize businesses

The southeast quadrant has been a hotbed for smash-and-grab burglaries for 12 months. Just as Adrian Hicks was being sentenced to 20 years in prison for several dozen such burglaries in Arapahoe and Denver counties, another intruder was hard at work in southeast Denver.

At press time, Victor Dan Garcia, 49, was being detained in on $17,500 bond for 10 separate second-degree burglary charges and one charge of attempted burglary. The suspect has three different cases pending against him and several court appearances scheduled over the next two weeks, according to Lynn Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney’s Office. Eventually, the cases may be combined, she said.

It’s me, so you have a picture of me outside, so what?

Victor Garcia The suspect’s photograph was obtained from a grainy “screen grab” that originated in a surveillance video from a merchant at Happy Canyon Shopping Center.

“We had some very good video of him from one of the burglaries,” said Sgt. George Kenny, the Denver police detective working the case.

A high-definition security camera from a Happy Canyon Shopping Center merchant captured a grainy “photo grab” that led to the capture and arrest of Victor Garcia, the most recent smash-and-grab suspect to hit southeast Denver.

Garcia was first brought to investigators’ attention as a witness to an auto accident. Although at first reluctant to give his name to police, his name was later found in the system.

“Officers noted that Victor seemed excited, but completed a written statement for the accident,” according to a police statement of probable cause.

“He was then allowed to leave. While entering Victor’s information into the report as a witness, the officer noted the attempt-to-locate for Victor and a lieutenant was alerted to the match,” When shown the surveillance photo, Garcia was reported to have told police, “That looks like me. …

It’s me—so you have a picture of me outside, so what?”

The suspect was taken into custody without incident from his apartment on West 39th Avenue.

Kenny is confident that Garcia

was involved in more burglaries.

“We can only just prove 13 of them,” he said, noting Garcia’s extensive criminal history.

According to the affidavit, officers who watched the surveillance video observed a suspect, who was wearing a dark-colored hoodie, a face-covering bandana, gloves and dark jeans, approach a Happy Canyon Shopping Center store.

The suspect used a pry bar to break out the window and enter the closed business. Once inside, he rummaged through drawers before exiting through the same window he had entered. As the suspect walked away from the scene, he removed his hat and mask, showing his face, the affidavit says.

Englewood and Westminster police departments had seen the CrimeStoppers bulletin and told DPD

-Victor Garcia, smash and grab suspect that a “person of interest” might be Garcia due to similarity in past crimes.

Garcia’s alleged smash-and-grab spree began Aug. 19, with break-ins at the Natural Pet Food store at 2300 S. Colorado Blvd. and Figaro’s Salon on East Evans Avenue. On the same date, someone attempted to break into the Canine Fun and Fitness at 5390 S. Evans Ave. Other area business burglarized included Campus Cycles, Twisters Burgers & Burritos, Chaka’s Mexican Restaurant and Plato’s Closet.

Someone also smashed the window at Hampden Tailors, absconding with $1,000.

The most recent crimes occurred in the Cherry Creek North Sept.23 and 24. Those businesses include the Rags Consignment Store, Yoga Pad, Beauty Bar and Chuck and Don Pet Foods.

ciated with a recent drug arrest, according sources who insisted upon anonymity. The action was confirmed this week by a court document. Christopher William George, 39, was arrested Oct, 6 after a traffic stop in Englewood after George’s vehicle crossed the center median line.

“Officers have attempted to make traffic stops in the past with associates from this home and have had vehicles elude officers, and [an officer] had recently made a narcotics arrest on a vehicle leaving that house,” an Oct. 7 police statement said.

The home has been under surveillance by Englewood and Arapahoe County narcotics officers for reported drug trafficking, according to the affidavit.

A white truck had been seen leaving home the evening of the arrest.

Once officers caught up to the car, they learned that narcotics officers were already following George’s vehicle. A K9 unit arrived to investigate, the affidavit says.

George was removed from his vehicle. His girlfriend, Carolynn Louise Padilla, 43, was a passenger.

After the police dog sensed narcotics a second time, police conducted an extensive search of the vehicle.

“In a work-style down bag, officers located a glass pipe with a white residue commonly used to smoke methamphetamine, a scale and two syringes,” the officers’ statement said.

The search also revealed an illegal switchblade knife and an illegal weapon in the console adjacent where George was sitting. On a backseat floorboard, officers discovered a glass jar with about 59 grams of marijuana.

George, who was read his Miranda rights, admitted to owning the meth pipe, syringes and scale. Both George and Padilla said she had not taken drugs when offered by George.

Officers also found a convenience-store cup that contained four plastic bags. Three of them con-

Christopher George tained meth, ranging from about 1.5 to 26 grams. Another bag contained almost 3 grams of suspected heroine.

“While George was sitting on the ground, he was seen tearing up a small page with numbers on it, which appeared to be a ledger containing names, amounts and dollar amounts,” said the affidavit, also noting that $655 was found in George’s wallet.

The affidavit noted that George had past convictions for burglaries.

“He was arrested for a parole violation [a no-bond hold] and distribution, manufacturing sale [and] possession of a controlled substance, which has a $7,500 bond,” said Julie Brooks, public-information officer for the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

George was taken that night to the Englewood Police Department for processing. He was later transported to the Arapahoe County jail, where he remained at press time.

According to Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the District Attorney’s Office, George has a preliminary hearing set for Nov. 3.

He is charged with possession of a controlled substance, a felony, illegal possession of a weapon, a misdemeanor, possession of drug paraphernalia, a petty offense, and a traffic infraction.

Toyota RAV4 is smart driving choice

BY H.THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST

The RAV4 has been a bestselling Toyota vehicle for decades with the distinctive metal spare-tire holder on the rear trunk area. The metal framed spare-tire holder was retired several years ago. That was about the only way to tell an old RAV4 from a new model.

This all-wheel-drive SUV is very popular for many reasons and I’ll name a few features that make this RAV4 Limited so fun to drive.

First, it is pretty, distinctive in design and has metallic “black current” paint that shimmers in the sunlight of late summer days.

Secondly, the drive is spirited and the 2.5L, four-cylinder-engine produces 176 horsepower. There are two modes of “Eco” and “sport” and driven modestly, the RAV4 makes 29 miles on the highway, 25 in the city for an overall average of 25 mpg.

The engine is powerful enough to maintain high cruising and passing speeds, along with great economy with a six-speed dynamic-torque transmission that offers the manual shift to a specific gear for passing, or hill descending on mountain roads.

Lastly, the ride is very comfortable with soft seats, the driver’s seat with six-way settings, and the back support inflatable air cushion that

feels so good on the lower back during long drives. Outside noise is minimal and the ride is quite, roomy.

XM radio adds to the ride, with full passenger heating and cooling options.

Ready, set, go—the cargo space is large and can hold several suitcases and travel bags. The smart key opens the trunk lid and a push button shuts the hatch door. That’s probably why they took the metallic tire cover away so the hatch cover could go up, rather than swing open.

The suggested retail price is $32,910 and additional optional equipment raises the price on the test model to $37,356. The optional features include an advanced techni-

Lexus 300h has hybrid components

BY H.THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST

Lexus continues to amaze with innovation and making quality cars.

The new 2016 NX 300h is a combination of power and hybrid economy.

The four-cylinder engine turns out 194 horsepower with a hybrid component for saving fuel that rates 32 mpg. The hybrid technology allows the vehicle to rate 33 miles in the city and 30 on the highway because of the hybrid start-and-stop feature that charges the car batteries.

Hybrid systems are heavy due to the batteries so the car has a low center of gravity. That is good have the weight so low to the roadway.

The car is powerful and Toyota/ Lexus transmission are just the best on the road. The continuous variable drive operates well without ever having to shift a gear while driving. But the option for the driver to shift to a gear is great for passing and mountain descending or using the engine compression for braking down Floyd Hill.

A bright blue described as “Vor-

Retail price on the NX300h is $41,310

cal package that is worth the $1,435 with a long list of featured equipment, such as full camera views, navigation with app suite, speakers in seven locations, hands-free phone application, about every technical feature that comes with a more expensive Lexus or Toyota product.

Safety is foremost with this vehicle, as in all Toyota products. This RAV4 scored a perfect overall fivestar score from the Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The vehicle comes with a new star safe system and radar cruise control to stop forward movement

into a frontal object. Wintertime allwheel drive, along with stability and traction controls. Warning lights for passing vehicles and an alarm sound when crossing a painted highway line. Great protection for sleepy drivers on a long road trip.

LED headlights, a power moon roof, and roof rails make up more of the standard equipment.

The standard and optional equipment put this RAV4 on a playing field with more expensive Toyota and Lexus models and the quality and price make this RAV4 a very wise and frugal choice.

tex Metallic” making the car really attractive with the modern design.

The 300h is an all-wheel drive vehicle and has an overall safety rating of five-stars. The vehicle has eight airbags for both driver and passengers.

Made in Miyawaka Fukouka, Japan, the craftsmanship is top quality and loaded with special equipment.

A navigation system, 10-way driver’s seat, an all-weather package, power back door with push-button control, great LED lights and a heated leather steering wheel.

Suggested retail price is $41,310 and the additional equipment can raise the price depending on the type of options desired. The options are nice over the long life of the vehicle and add to the resale value.

Lexus is offering a 100,000-mile hybrid warranty and 24/7 roadside assistance for their products.

This is a smaller, more compact SUV and is a fine drive with excellent fuel economy.

Gas prices are rising as oil passed back more than $50 a barrel in early October.
