“Caring just a little causes hearts to grow a lot!”

BY ROSEMARY FETTER STAFF WRITER Julie Manuel is one of those exceptional people who not only make the world a better place but inspire others to do the same. A sixth grade Language Arts teacher at Falcon Bluffs Middle School in Jefferson County, she embarked upon an adventure in 2009 when she decided to spend a summer doing volunteer work in a third world country.

“I had been to Kenya once before and my heart has always bent to Africa.

Fortunately, I found an organization that places professionals all over the world, called the Global Volunteer Network,” she recalled.

“I told them I was a teacher, had six weeks, and wanted to be placed somewhere that nobody else wanted to go.”

That “somewhere” turned out to be in the Great Rift Valley of southwest Kenya, on the edge of the Serengeti Desert. Life in the village of Oloshso-oibor is primitive.

The people live in mud huts with no water and no electricity, and their economy is totally livestock-based. And, until Julie arrived, they only had one government school with five teachers and 600 students.

“The village is governed by six elected chiefs, some more progressive than others, and people older than 40 have no education,” she said. “Polygamy is still the rule, although some take pride in having

only one wife. While the Maasai cling to their traditions, it is through education that the youth are changing and improving their lives.”

Julie connected with Mama Sheila, a teacher at the government school. “I noticed that every night she would take the same five kids home, and work with them separately in her chicken coop” she said. “It seemed to me that we already had the beginnings of a school. We called it Ronesa, which means caring community in their language. One of the first things we did was to dig a solar panel well, so the children would have clean water. We built a greenhouse, and began feeding the children twice a day, since many of them were coming to school hungry.

We’ve brought in new projects, including an animal raising program for livestock. We’re currently raising funds for a van, since the kids, sometimes as young as three or four, have to walk two hours to get to school.”

To get the children at her school involved, she went the to the PTA board for permission to start a program called Coin for Kenya. “We asked the kids to bring in loose change, leftover coins from their purchases, which we collect once a year to help build a new classroom. By the second year, we had a kindergarten, and each year we have added another class,” she said. “The

When you educate a boy, you educate a man.

When you educate a girl, you’ve educated an entire village.

– African proverb

These are the original five children that started Ronesa Academy. Mama Shiela would bring them home everyday and work with them in her chicken coop. From left to right: Shadrack, Teacha Juliet, Charles, Joseph, Jemima and Jacline.

original five kids (three girls and two boys) will be starting eighth grade and graduating in November. The school has grown to 147 students ages 3 to 8. We now have seven teachers, a different one for every grade, a principal and living quarters, which makes everything much more doable.

“Although we focus on educating girls, we also admit boys,” she added. “We are an independent private school whose teachers come from the Maasai community, which deflects any perception that we are Western-driven.

Our school is English-speaking only. Parents pay tuition although many have scholarships. We teach the children about other cultures and expose them to what’s going on in the world.”

In Kenya, the government doesn’t support education past the eighth grade, and everything after that means board-

ing school. If parents happen to have funds for secondary school, they will spend it on the boys rather than the girls.

If a girl doesn’t get a scholarship or sponsor, her education is over.”

“Through our school, many of girls have learned to find their voice, and want to continue education,” she said.

“They come here to avoid early marriage or possibly be sold in exchange for livestock.

Female mutilation is still practiced in some places. Last year, the children of Ronesa performed a drama in front of their parents and elders literally called, We will not be cut or be child brides anymore! It was powerful and surely gave a voice to the voiceless.”

People in this country have no idea of what global community looks like, she added.

For the past few years she’s brought students with parents, former students and others to

expose them to third worldW issues. They go out among the community and develop relationships with the people.

Often they have culture shock when they get home.

“It has been a wonderful experience during the last eight years of teaching,” she said. “It has been such a blessing to be an agent of change, but even more rewarding watching our students and families here learn how to care for their global community! The world is not so large and intimidating when you know the name of someone on the other side of the world.”

County coroner employee to teach child death investigations in Mexico A Medicolegal Death Investigator from the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office has headed to Oaxaca, Mexico to teach child death investigations to crime scene investigators and criminologists.

Elizabeth Ortiz, who is bilingual and fluent in Spanish, is

Aurora chiropractor guilty of sex assault on a child An Aurora chiropractor has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a child over a period of 18 months, starting when she was 8 years old.

An Arapahoe County District Court jury last week found Craig Martin Stice, 58, guilty of all eight Class 3 felonies with which he was charged, including four counts of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, and four counts of sex assault on a child — pattern of abuse.

“Once again, a once-respected and trusted member of our community proves that he was never entitled to either respect or trust.

He substituted his own lascivious urgings for the innocence of a small child,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “I am impressed with the courage of this little girl and disgusted that her offender would force her into such a position to be so courageous. To those who refuse to stop molesting our children: Stop now. Get help. What you do is criminal. It is evil. If you do not stop, we will continue to aggressively and appropriately prosecute you and hold you accountable.”

Brauchler added: “To the community, know that there are those out there who seek to further minimize the consequences for this abhorrent behavior. Be aware that this next legislative session likely will see attempts to reduce the consequences for those who commit such acts as these. Such efforts will not better protect our children, nor will it make us better people.”

The girl met Stice through her parents. In May 2017, the girl told her mother about the crimes.

The mother contacted the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, which investigated and referred the case to the District Attorney’s Office.

After a four-day trial, the jury deliberated five hours before finding Stice guilty on all counts Nov. 16.

Because the case went to trial, the young victim took the stand.

Deputy District Attorney Tara Buchalter, who prosecuted the case, praised the girl’s courage.

Stice is being held without bond until his sentencing, set for Jan. 17, 2019. As a sex offender, Stice faces an indeterminate sentence; the presumptive sentencing range for each Class 3 felony is 8-24 years.

teaching a group of professional criminologists at the Forensic Institute of Investigations, Latin America (Forense de Investigaciones Latinoamerica) in Huatulco, Oaxaca, Mexico, from Nov. 29 to Dec. 2. Ortiz will conduct her teaching in Spanish, as well as translating for other instructors from throughout the U.S. “I cannot express how honored I am to have been chosen to represent Arapahoe County at the 13th International Congressional Meeting

for Criminologists and Forensic Sciences,” stated Ortiz. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share my knowledge in my native language about how to investigate child deaths.”

Ortiz worked for the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office from 1992-1999 as a Pathologist assistant. She returned to the county in 2006 as a medicolegal death investigator. In 2013, she graduated from Regis University with a Master’s Degree in criminology. Ortiz now investigates

all unattended deaths in Arapahoe County and makes death announcements on site when there is no physician present. She also teaches child death investigations to local law enforcement agencies throughout Colorado.

Let’s help Latin American My Tijuana experience was a good one. Years ago, our entire family flew to San Diego to celebrate wife’s parents 60th wedding anniversary. During the weekend we decided to rent a Chevrolet station wagon and go to Tijuana for the day.

Nine of us crossed easily across the border and parked on the main street of the Mexican town. A little boy approached me and offered to guard the car during our visit to which I quickly agreed. We wandered the streets shopping, taking silly photos on stuffed donkeys, and taking sombreros photos of happy family members.

We had an excellent lunch at a busy local restaurant and headed home mid-afternoon. While waiting in line to enter the United States a vendor flashed a nice leather travel bag that we couldn’t resist for a few more American dollars.

The entire day was enjoyable, and the trip was a huge success. We still have photos of grandparents, now gone, having a great time with all of us.

Barbwire Bob I had a Scottish grandmother who was 5 years old when Patrick and Margaret Patterson sailed from Glasgow in the 1880s with their daughter heading to a mining job in Leadville during the silver boom.

The couple settled in what is known as “ Stringtown” on the south side of the bustling city once considered to be the state capitol.

What is amazing to me was my grandmother became the oldest of 16 children born and raised in Leadville.

As the oldest daughter in a growing family she learned to cook at an early age and must have helped her mother raise all of those children who in later life

My grandmother Margaret Patterson Nicholson came to live with us in her later years from her home in Buena Vista, located along the upper Arkansas river between Leadville and Salida.

I’m reminded of this towering figure at holiday time because she could prepare, cook and bake wonderful delicacies. Even before her arrival in Craig we would receive by U.S. mail packages at our ranch consisting of wonderful jams, candies and baked goods.

Like yesterday, I remember the turkey remains soaking in a large cooking pot on the kitchen stove in

cold water that would turn into the best turkey vegetable soup ever consumed by my family. The soaking loosened the remaining turkey morsels and made a pot of soup that could have fed a Leadville mining family for several days.

I thought of my grandmother again when I dumped the turkey remains in a trash bag and put out in the trash Friday morning. Yes, in year’s past I’ve made some turkey soup just like my grandmother made, not quite as good, but enjoyed by family members.

Nobody asked me but: Did you hear about the bagpiper who was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back area.

Supporting our troops and their families

the midterm elections is unconscionable.

First, none of the soldiers at the border are armed.

Second, the federal Posse Comitatus Act prohibits federal military personnel from enforcing domestic policies within the United States. This precludes military personnel from enforcing federal immigration laws.

Another issue regarding sending federal military personnel to the border is that most senior military leaders opposed this presidential action because of the enormous cost, nearly $200

million, and the significant interruption of the training missions for the troops.

Clearly, Trump doesn’t understand his role as commander in chief and continues to use the military for his own political purposes while failing to demonstrate any empathy for their personal sacrifices in the service of this nation.

Trump’s entire focus in his decision making is totally centered on how those decisions affect him and his personal business.

It is time for the president to focus on those decisions for the benefit of all Americans and their well-being and the true security of this nation.

President Trump has never visited our soldiers in a war zone since he ascended to the presidency. He has stated that the reason for not going to Iraq or Afghanistan is fear for his own life.

During the Vietnam War Trump sought five deferments in a successful effort to avoid being drafted and serving in the military during the war.

I forgot to give my husband his birthday card this year. I didn’t forget his birthday. That would be unforgivable. I just forgot the card.

Actually, I didn’t forget, I had it in the drawer at home, but we weren’t at home on his birthday. So, to my credit, I got him a card; I just didn’t give it to him on the right day.

A couple of weeks later, I stumbled upon it in the drawer.

It was a nice card and I’d chosen it carefully. I’d read through at least half a dozen before finding the perfect one. Some cards can be so schmaltzy and sticky sweet. This one was genuine.

I could have written the words myself. I wish I had, but that would have taken quite a bit more effort than finding one on the rack.

weeks ago, but there is no time like the present. Plus, there’s no need to waste a perfectly good card. I figured if I didn’t use it this year, I’d forget about it by next year and then I’d go out a buy a new one and we’d have two cards in the drawer and that would be a waste.

I put the card on the kitchen table, sans envelope. It had the words “Happy birthday to my husband” on the cover in big letters. It sat there for a day, unnoticed. I was afraid one of the kids might spill root beer on it so finally, I pointed it out to him.

“Here’s the birthday card I had for you,” I said, handing it to him.

And then I had my eureka moment. The card was perfect.

It really was. And it was still brand-new. Not even written on.

Even the envelope was pristine.

Why use it this year only? Why

This last week he asked me, “Did you sell the newspaper” “No, I replied, why do you ask? “Well, he said, it looked like Ocean Prime purchased the paper,” he related.

There are many examples of Trump’s disrespect for the military and their leaders.

“Read it now and then I’ll give it to you again next year,” I said, knowing it would be like new to both of us 12 months from now.

He smiled. “Good idea,” he said. I was surprised and in awe of his intellect and practicality.

Crazy, right? It’s amazing how two people can think alike (even in a warped way) after lots of years of marriage. We’re crazy like that. It’s a gift.

“You can do the same for my birthday,” I said. “We can give each other the same card year after year.” I was surprised and disappointed in myself that we hadn’t thought of this sooner.

“We’ll save money,” he said.

I laughed. “A couple of dollars.” I’ve always been good at math.

This new restaurant joins a family of great restaurants in the area that cater to residents and the huge booming DTC marketplace. *** A sad tale in the closing of the local Sears store in SouthGlenn.

The store is located across from Trice Jewelry that enjoys so much local trade because they market so well. They just had their huge model event with an overflow of customers in attendance.

A short distance away the gigantic Sears store is closing.

the likes of Amazon, et al. Slowly the playing field is leveling with their online outlets having to collect local sales tax.

Shopping locally with friendly merchants keeps our schools financed, police on the streets, and provides jobs for friends and families.

We all have our challenges, and just so you know, we always mail this newspaper Wednesday afternoon at the post office on Arapahoe Road. We have worked with these folks for 37 years.

However, once The Villager leaves their domain it is up to the various mail carriers primarily working out of other post offices to know the difference between a periodical permitted newspapers to travel as first-class mail, not as junk bulk mail. The founding fathers of this nation wanted to keep citizens informed promptly and in creating the Postal Service gave newspapers a mail priority that still exists to this day.

If you do not get your newspaper Thursday or Friday, it is your mail carrier that needs a note in the mailbox asking for delivery of The Villager as promptly as possible. A nice note works best, maybe with a cookie. Honey always works better than vinegar. ***

2019 Budget

City council held a public hearing on the 2019 city budget. Jessica Sager, recently promoted director of finance and administration, presented the budget. Not present to listen or comment were Mayor-elect Russell Stewart or district 2 council member-elect Afshin Safavi. The Villager reached out to both newly elected officials to ask why they did not attend the public hearing on the budget for the coming year. Stewart said he was out of town, and Safavi said he was in the process of selling his company and that he was ill.

Sager reported that proposed 2019 general fund revenues of $7.16 million were slightly more than proposed expenditures of $7.09 million, resulting in an expected surplus for the year of just under $70,000. The city receives 70 percent of its total revenue from the general fund.

Although she told council in her report that budgeted revenues for 2019 were similar to budgeted revenues for 2018, which is true, The Villager’s review of the financial reports reveals that budgeted general fund revenues for 2019 are $612,624 (8 percent) less than expected actual general fund revenues for 2018.

In multiple other areas, Sager’s report to city council compared differences between the 2018 budget adopted a year ago, rather than actual 2018 results, with the planned 2019 budget. For example, sales tax revenue was budgeted at $967,201 for 2018 and is budgeted at $970,000 for 2019, seeming to indicate that 2019 revenue is expected to be slightly more than that of 2018, but that is not a true reflection of what occurred. Projected actual sales tax collections for 2018 are $1,126,618, hence the 2019 budget is actually $156,618 (14 percent) less than 2018 collections.

CHV gets 58 percent of its general fund revenue from three sources, 35 percent coming from property tax, 14 percent from use tax on vehicles registered in CHV, and 9 percent from building permit revenue, which is actually use tax on construction materials.

Sager’s written budget letter to city council states that CHV’s general fund is expected to end 2019 with a balance of $9.5 million, comfortably exceeding the requirement of the city’s policy “that the general unreserved fund balance (should) be a minimum of six months of (the) current year’s expenditures.”

Budget priorities for 2019 include a Quincy Farm long term budget plan, the High Line Canal Trail interconnect project,

and completion of the Glenmoor Traffic Signal Project in partnership with the Glenmoor Country Club HOA and the City of Greenwood Village.

The other major projects, being funded by Certificates of Participation (COP), are the completion of the new city hall, the redevelopment of John Meade Park and Alan Hutto Memorial Commons, and the remaining work at the new public works facility in the City of Sheridan. Payments in 2019 for these projects are expected to total $3.98 million, comprised of $1.6 million for city hall, $2.4 million for the John Meade Park Project, $30,000 for punch-list items at the public works facility, and $25,000 in other expenditures labeled as “bank fees.”

The fund balance reported

by Sager for the COP fund is $4.4 million at Jan. 1, 2019 and $439,404 at year’s end.

CHV’s budget includes 52 full-time and seven part-time employees in 2019.

to make it clear to community members that parks and recreation funds have been spent legitimately. District 1 Council member Randy Weil agreed wholeheartedly. Christman added that when CHV withdrew from South Suburban Parks and Recreation (in 2005), there was an expectation that it would acquire and build its own parks.

She continued, “That has been done faithfully. To be efficient, CHV has employees who do more than one thing and their salaries are allocated based on the activities that they perform,” e.g., between the general fund and the parks and recreation fund.

Weil said, “There is mythology that exists in the community.

Some believe that the roundabout is still alive.”

Members expressed general frustration with the difficulty in getting information to CHV residents who pay little attention to council’s activities unless and until they are activated by individuals with a specific High Line agenda whose Canal information Emily is not always Black, CHV completely parks and checked for recreation coordinator, told – Council member total accuracy.

The Medical Center of Aurora announces ECMO program

He has lectured team effort due to the complexities extensively worldwide on the of the treatment and of the patients topic. being treated with this therapy.

Today, temporary therapy for patients however, doctors at tertiary care with severe heart and/or lung facilities are using ECMO as a failure – such as might be seen in safe, effective therapy for patients severe cases of the flu or after a who are experiencing acute cardiac massive heart attack. Firstenberg, and/or pulmonary failure. Among a board-certified cardiac surgeon

those successfully treated since the inception of the facility’s program are two women with young children. Neither would have lived without the intervention.

“The ECMO program adds important resources to our cardiopulmonary programs, and TMCA has become a top regional tertiary care center with the addition of Firstenberg and new programs in endocarditis, pulmonary high blood pressure, heart failure, complex valve disease and high-risk heart surgery,” says Dr. Dianne McCallister, chief medical officer at TMCA and Spalding Rehabilitation Hospital.

The program began as an idea when Firstenberg arrived and morphed into a project that required significant planning and prepping at TMCA. McCallister says, “This program doesn’t run

without a collaboration between physicians of various specialties, who are working closely together to determine when ECMO is medically appropriate as an added therapy for a patient.” She continues, “A number of departments and physicians working together is what created our program.

When the ECMO team is mobilized, it’s typically been in the midst of an emergent situation, and while we will continue that treatment in emergency situations, our team also has the option now to begin ECMO therapy earlier in a case rather than waiting until the situation has become dire and the patient’s life is significantly in jeopardy.”

“The implementation of an ECMO program is a significant advance for TMCA’s Acute Respiratory Failure program, which also

treat conditions such as severe pneumonias (including the flu), massive blood clots to the lung, and severe asthma attacks,” says Firstenberg. “This important supportive treatment provides an option for our sickest patients to give their lungs a chance to heal and to sustain life as their body recovers from an illness. ECMO is now an option for more patients and is no longer used as only a last effort for a dying patient. Instead, we are able to use the therapy earlier in the course of treatment to allow the body to heal over the course of a few days to a few weeks. We are prepared to accept patients from other institutions that do not have this therapy to help save lives in our community.”

Swedish Medical Center collects hygiene items for Englewood families Swedish Medical Center partners with Englewood Schools to provide needed supplies to homeless and at-risk students From now until Dec. 14, Swedish Medical Center nurses, physicians, families and friends will be collecting hygiene kit supplies to give to students in need—and they’re asking for the publics help also.

“The holidays represent time to relax and enjoy family and friends. For some of our homeless and at-risk families, this is unfortunately not a reality,” said Becky Manning, Englewood Schools homeless liaison. “We like to be able to help in ways that allow

families to spend more time on things that are important to them. Basic needs may be a struggle, and resources such as hygiene kits are always appreciated.”

With a team of approximately 2,000 dedicated employees, 300 volunteers and 1,400 physicians, Swedish Medical Center hopes they can gather enough supplies to help many families within the community. “I know it seems small, but we hope our effort to provide these items will help our students and families have a warmer holiday season this year,” said Theresa Lelong, assistant director of Employee Health and Wellness at

Swedish Medical Center.

Items will be collected in the main lobby of Swedish Medical Center and distributed to Englewood Schools at the end of December.

Items can be dropped off at the main lobby at 501 East Hampden Ave. in Englewood through Dec. 14 Small/travel size items needed: • Shampoo • Conditioner • Body wash/soap • Lotion • Toothpaste/toothbrush • Deodorant • Band aids • Chapstick • Hair brush/comb • Wash cloth

• Small packages of laundry detergent pods Additional items needed:

UC Anschutz Medical names Health Sciences Library for pharmacy alumnus and philanthropist The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has named the Health Sciences Library for alumnus and philanthropist, Henry L. Strauss (’51), a significant supporter of the library and the campus.

Strauss’s longtime advocacy for and philanthropic contributions to special collections at the Health Sciences Library have impacted students, faculty and visitors for more than two decades. In addition, Strauss has served the university at large through a number of volunteer leadership roles at the library, the alumni association and the CU Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.

In 1995, Strauss established the Florence G. Strauss Indigenous and Integrative Medicine Collection at the Health Sciences Library, in memory of his first wife, Florence. Leonard A. Wisneski joined Strauss in these efforts and has been an integral partner in maintaining and expanding the collection. Since its inception, the collection has grown from 30 print books to thousands of books and other materials related to complementary health practices and indigenous therapies from around the world.

They collected many of these books throughout their travels

around the world.

“It is vital to our country that we study and adapt indigenous and alternative medicine practices,” said Strauss. “In many cases they are much more affordable and will keep our medical system from going bankrupt.”

In addition to establishing the collection, Strauss’s philanthropy has also enabled expansion of the popular four-part, Strauss-Wisneski Lecture Series on a variety of integrative medicine topics, with speakers including health care practitioners from all fields of integrative medicine. As a volunteer and member of the Collections Committee, Strauss has helped ensure that the both the special collection and the lecture series remain robust resources for years to come.

“As our health care system shifts,” said Strauss Health Sciences library director Melissa De Santis, “opportunities arise for investigating the best evidence – knowledge found in books, journals and databases – in support of an integrative approach to health care. The Florence G. Strauss-Leonard A. Wisneski Indigenous and Integrative Medicine Collection plays a large role in making that knowledge accessible to our students and faculty, and across the state and our

nation because of our partnership with other universities. For that reason, Henry’s impact has been immeasurable.”

The Strauss Health Sciences Library is the physical and digital hub of knowledge at CU Anschutz, linking critical components of the university’s mission in research, education, clinical care and community. “By serving to connect people and knowledge in this technology-intensive era, the library helps CU Anschutz faculty, staff and students overcome barriers, gather data, and navigate the modern medicine and health information landscape,” said De Santis. In addition, the library serves rural and metro health providers, citizens of the region, and Colorado’s developing biotechnology industry.

CU Anschutz Medical Campus Chancellor Donald M. Elliman, Jr., said Henry Strauss’s support for the library helps advance the education mission of the campus. “Through his partnership, Henry Strauss has helped enrich the educational experience of future health care leaders who go on to serve individuals and communities across Colorado and beyond. We are pleased to recognize Henry in this way, and to see his name associated with the library for generations.”

The holiday season begins in late November and runs through New Year’s Day. It is marked by various gatherings of friends and family, decadent foods, cocktails, traveling, and gift exchanges. The National Retail Federation says consumers will spend an average of $967 during the holiday season.

However, the joy of the holidays also is about all of the memorable experiences that tend to make the season so beloved.

With that in mind, here are 30 ways to make the holiday season that much more merry.

1. Visit with an elderly or housebound neighbor and share conversation.

2. Donate gently used toys to a children’s hospital.

3. Research the history of the holiday and share it with people you care about.

4. Make handmade Christmas tree ornaments.

5. Donate money to a charity or other good cause.

4.0: The percentage the National Retail Federation expects retail sales to increase this year.

2012: The year when holiday retail sales were the weakest since 2008.

According MasterCard

Advisors SpendingPulse, sales in the last two months of 2012 increased by just 0.7 percent from the previous year. Some financial analysts blamed Hurricane Sandy, an epic storm that caused billions of dollars in damage along the eastern coast of the United States, for the small increase in consumer spending.

24: The percentage of U.S. retail sales made by only the Northeast and mid-Atlantic states.

8.4: The percentage growth of online sales from 2011 to 2012. Online sales generally make up about 10 percent of total holiday business.

Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow!

What beats one hundred bottles of beer on the wall?

How about 6,000 glasses of champagne! The 31st Annual Champagne Cascade presented by the Brown Palace Hotel and Spa kicked off the holidays with centuries old Napoleonic traditional sabering of Champagne magnums to the pouring of the effervescent bubbly into and over a pyramid of glasses. Now it would be impossible to fill all 6,000 glasses, since the weight alone would collapse the cascade of Champagne flutes and it would also lose a lot of tasty and pricy Champagne.

Not to worry though there was plenty of Champagne for the guests on all seven floor that were open for the viewing of the event. In the spirit of the holidays and the giving season with the holiday Champagne cascade kickoff, the Brown Palace donates to charitable organizations and this year Historic Denver was the recipient. The donation was presented by the new general manager Timothy Wolfe, which was accepted

by Historic Denver Executive director Annie Levinsky. The Ginnie contribution was matched by and Scott Eldredge Roger Hutson.

Delicious pastries sweeten Chanukah celebrations Chanukah is an eight-day “festival of lights” that celebrates the rededication of the Holy Temple.

Faithful Jews led by Judah the Maccabee defeated the Greek army, reclaimed the Holy Temple and were able to light the Temple’s menorah using only a single cruse of olive oil. Miraculously that supply lasted for eight days.

Today, people honor these miracles by lighting their own menorahs and enjoying foods fried in oil.

Although fried doughnuts and latkes reign supreme on Chanukah, other treats can be included in the festivities as well. Rugelach are Jewish pastries of Ashkenazic origin. Chanukah celebrants and others can make their own rugelach by following this recipe, courtesy of King Arthur Flour.

Rugelach Yields 36 Crust 16 tablespoons (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature 3/4 cup cream cheese, at room temperature 1/3 cup sour cream 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour Filling 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 cup walnuts, chopped 1/2 cup dried cranberries, raisins or currants 1 tablespoon cinnamon Water for brushing dough

Topping Granulated sugar or coarse white sparkling sugar Milk or cream To make the crust using a food processor: Place the flour and salt

in the bowl of a food processor.

Pulse briefly to combine. Cut the butter and cream cheese into chunks and add to the bowl along with the sour cream. Pulse just until the dough forms chunks, and you can squeeze it together.

To make the dough using a mixer: Beat together the butter, cream cheese, sour cream and salt until smooth. Add the flour, mixing to make a stiff dough.

Divide the dough into three equal portions. Press each gently into a disk. Make the disks as round as possible, smoothing their edges; this will allow you to roll the disks into a perfectly round circle, making the resulting rugelach more attractive. Wrap the disks in plastic, and chill the dough for about one hour, until it’s firm but not rock hard. Or chill longer (up to overnight), then warm for about 45 to 60 minutes

the fire to remember a loved one, sing carols, and enjoy music provided by Colorado School of Mines and other strolling musicians. Refreshments and biscochitos are provided. Dec. 8, 5 p.m. “Holiday Auction Costume Party.” Celebrate the holidays and support Tesoro by participating in their annual Auction fundraising event. Dec. 24, 4 p.m. “Las Posadas: Our Annual Christmas Eve Event.”Tesoro partners with Christian Life Movement to commemorate Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem as they seek shelter on the night of Jesus’ birth.

at room temperature, until the dough softens enough to roll out without cracking.

To make the filling, process the sugar, walnuts, dried fruit, and cinnamon in a food processor or blender until finely chopped and well combined (but not pasty).

Don’t have a food processor?

Simply stir together the filling ingredients; your filling will be chunky rather than smooth.

Working with one piece of dough at a time, place it on a generously floured surface. Roll it into a 10-inch circle and brush it lightly with water. For a flavorful touch, brush the rolled-out rugelach dough with a thin layer of boiled cider, warmed apple or currant jelly, or puréed fruit preserves, instead of water.

Use your fingers to spread about 1/3 of the filling onto the round, going all the way to the edges and gently patting the filling to help anchor it to the dough

Using a pizza cutter, baker’s bench knife or sharp knife, divide the dough into 12 equal wedges.

Roll each wedge up, beginning with the wide end and ending with the narrow end. Place the rolls point-side down on a baking sheet; lining the baking sheet with parchment will help with cleanup.

Repeat with the remaining two pieces of dough.

Brush the rugelach with milk or cream; and sprinkle with granulated or coarse white sparkling sugar, if desired.

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Refrigerate the rugelach while the oven is preheating.

Bake the rugelach for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven, and cool right on the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Store leftover rugelach in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Freeze for longer storage.

BY JIM MILLER siblings, but I could Recording use some help. What Equipment can you tell me?

If you have a smartphone, Youngest of Five making a video of your parDear Youngest, A personal recording of your parents’ life story could be a wonderful holiday gift and something you and your family could cherish the rest of your lives. Here are a few tips to help you get started.

What You’ll Need

Your first step is to find out if your parents are willing to make a legacy video, which would entail you asking them a number of thoughtful

ents’ story is simple and free.

However, you may want to invest a “smartphone tripod” to hold the phone while you conduct the interview, and a “smartphone external microphone,” which would improve the audio quality. You can find these types of products at Amazon.com for under $20.

Most smartphones today have good quality cameras and have the ability to edit/trim out the parts you don’t want.

Or you can download a free

video-editing app like Magisto or Adobe Premiere Clip that can help you customize your video.

If you want a higher quality video, consider purchasing a HD camcorder. Sony, Panasonic and Canon are the top-rated brands, according to Consumer Reports. These can run anywhere from a few hundred dollars, up to $1,000 or more.

Questions and Prompts

To help you prepare your list of questions for your parents’ video interview, go to “Have the Talk of a Lifetime” website at TalkofaLifetime. org. This resource, created by the Funeral and Memorial Information Council, offers a free workbook that lists dozens of questions in different categories. Some of these include: earliest memories and childhood; significant people; proudest accomplishments; and most cherished objects.

This will help you put together

It’s not that hard to be above average Have you ever been at a restaurant or a hotel and had this air of annoyance because you had to ask for more water, towels or other items that are standard? When this happens to me, I am annoyed at the lack of service but also at myself because I feel like a whiner and complainer making me fall in the category of being “high maintenance.”

I was recently on a cruise having to ask for a poolside table to be cleaned, more ice in my water, more butter at the table, Parmesan cheese to be served with pasta and even crackers with the cheese plate I ordered for desert. When the crackers finally arrived, they were stale Saltines, rendering the cheese plate less than desirable.

I am so thankful and fortunate to be on a cruise ship in the beautiful Caribbean Sea, why then do I have this aura of annoyance and discontent?

I think it is because I was taught that it is so easy to be above average. I have also learned that I really hate mediocrity and doing the bare minimum to get by. Lack of excellence and high-quality service is my pet peeve and an annoyance I cannot shake.

I remember teaching my children as preschoolers to watch the counter clerk at McDonald’s. Did they have clean fingernails, eye contact with the customer, an attitude of service and creative problem-solving? Did they get angry when I shared that the order was not correct or did they immediately try to fix the issue in a pleasant

and amicable manner? Were they dressed properly in a clean, pressed uniform? Were they smiling or frowning? Did they have an attitude of service or were they just putting in the time to get a paycheck?

I would continue to do this as my children got older and we went shopping in a department store. I would ask for a certain size of an item and the salesperson would tell me that everything was out on the racks. I shared with the children that this kind of employee does not represent their employer well. They should at least try to find the size I am looking for or ask another clerk, even pretend like they care about what I am looking for. Employees that actually do their job with excellence, excitement and a positive anticipatory attitude of service are above average and stand out of the crowd. It is this kind of employee that I would look to promote and reward.

Dining, shopping or traveling is a pleasant experience when those who are hired to represent their companies anticipate the needs of their customers and serve them well. Customer service should be the No. 1 priority. Companies should seek to not only meet expectations but exceed them. It is not that hard to be above average.

Let’s all focus on training employees well, expecting excellence as they seek to serve others. It works for relationships and it works for business.

a wide variety of meaningful, open-ended questions.

Old photos of your parents, their family members and friends are also great to have on hand to jog your parents’ memory and stimulate conversations.

After you select your questions and photos, be sure to share them with your parents ahead of time so they can have some time to think about their answers. This will make the interview go much smoother.

Interview Tips

Arrange an interview time when your parents are rested and relaxed, and choose a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be interrupted. You may need several sessions to cover everything you want.

When you get started, ask your parents to introduce themselves and ask a warmup question like “When and where were you born?” Then ease into your selected questions, but use them as a guide,

not a script. If your parents go off topic, go with it. You can redirect them to your original question later. Think of it as a conversation; there’s no right or wrong thing to talk about, as long as it’s meaningful to you and your parents.

Also, be prepared to ask follow-up questions or diverge from your question list if you’re curious about something. If you’d like to hear more, try “And then what happened?” or “How did that make you feel?” or “What were you thinking in that moment?”

And end your interview with some reflective questions, such as “What legacy would you like to leave?” or “How do you want to be remembered?”

Advice for aging athletes Retired professional athletes often speak about the difficult moment when they knew it was time to retire from professional competition. The transition can be easy for some but far more difficult for others. But aging amateur athletes know you need not be a professional to realize there comes a time when your body is telling you it’s time to ease up.

Athletes are used to pushing themselves and stretching their limits, but some limits are best not pushed. Such is the case with the limits posed by aging. While athletes don’t have to completely fold up shop and hang up their cleats, tennis shoes or other athletic equipment as they approach senior citizen status, there are steps aging athletes can take to ensure they aren’t pushing their bodies too far as they grow older.

• Recognize your new recovery time. Veteran athletes tend to have a sixth sense about their bodies, knowing how long they need to recover from common ailments like ankle sprains, knee pain, back pain and shin splints. Despite the body’s remarkable ability for recovery, it’s not immune to aging, and that recovery time will increase as the body ages. Whereas a sprained ankle might once have been as good as new after a few days or rest, aging athletes must recognize that the same ankle sprain now might require more recovery time. Returning too quickly from an injury can only make things worse

for aging athletes, so don’t push yourself.

• Take more time to warm up. As the body ages, its response time to exercise increases. This means the body needs more time to prepare itself for cardiovascular and strength training exercises. Increase your warmup time as you age, gradually increasing the intensity of your warmup exercises until your body feels ready for more strenuous exercise.

• Focus on flexibility. The more flexible you are, the more capable the body is of absorbing shock, including the shock that results from repetitive activities. But as the body ages, it becomes less flexible, which makes it less capable of successfully handling the repetitive movements common to exercise. Aging athletes should focus on their flex-

ibility, stretching their muscles before and after a workout. In addition, activities such as yoga can work wonders on improving flexibility for young and aging athletes alike.

• Don’t stop strength training.

Some aging athletes mistakenly feel they should stop strength training as they get older. No longer concerned about building muscle, aging athletes might feel as if they have nothing to gain by lifting weights and continuing to perform other muscle strengthening exercises. But the body gradually loses muscle mass as it ages, and that loss puts the joints under greater stress when aging athletes perform other exercises. That stress can put people at greater risk for arthritis, tendinitis and ligament sprains. While you no longer need to max out on the bench press or challenge yourself on the biceps curl, it is important to continue to make strength training a part of your fitness regimen as you age.

Aging athletes need not associate aging with ceasing their athletic pursuits. But recognizing your limitations and the changes your body is going through is an important element of staying healthy as your approach older adulthood.

Tom’s of Maine founder shares inspirations at HWSRP The steering committee of Harvard Women’s Studies in Religion Program (HWSRP) welcomed guests to a fall coffee at Denver Country Club. An enlightening discussion was delivered by featured speaker Tom Chappell founder of Tom’s of Maine (remember the #1 toothpaste?) and Rambler’s Way, a sustainable clothing company. Chappell, an entrepreneur, moralist and graduate of Harvard Divinity School, sits on the Dean’s Council where he has been a member for 25 years. With his wife Kate, he has built businesses that operate with a clear set of values and a commitment to environmental sustainability. He shared how his time at Harvard Divinity School motivated him to look at all aspects of his life – business, philanthropy and community, through a more holistic lens

that integrates values and ethics, rather than measuring success through financial performance alone. He has authored several books including Managing Upside Down: The Seven Intentions of Values-Centered Leadership. Not only was he approachable, but shared much of his knowledge, experiences and what he gleaned from the rare experience and empowerment gained at Harvard Divinity. “There’s a knowing of God’s will,” he said. He sold the toothpaste company to Colgate because the company was a great steward and had humanity. About entrepreneurship, he said, “Make the vision compelling (passion) live by and work by value-centered identity and wait for a miracle. It’s no place for cautious people.”

SMDRA presents check to Purple Heart Homes, honors charity at Veterans luncheon

Joseph Roos, Founder and Executive Director of Hide in Plain Sight, with Melissa Maldonado, Chief Executive Officer of SMDRA, and members of the association’s Community Involvement and Charities Committee.

SUBMITTED BY DOUG E. LIERLE

The South Metro Denver REALTOR Association (SMDRA) recently presented a check to representatives of Purple Heart Homes, a charitable organization that helps disabled veterans by adapting, modifying or building on to existing homes to ensure greater mobility and comfort. The check was presented by members of SMDRA’s Charities and Community Involvement Committee (CCIC) during the association’s weekly Metro Market

Pulse Meeting Nov. 9, at SMDRA’s Littleton headquarters. Marcel Savoie, chairman of the Board and the Charities Committee, presented a $600 check to Monte and Diana Flemings, representatives of Purple Heart Homes.

“Purple Heart Homes is dedicated to helping our disabled heroes in a variety of ways and we are proud to help such a worthwhile endeavor,” said Savoie. “From building a ramp for a veteran of World War II, to providing home ownership

opportunities to younger veterans, the charity’s programs are designed out of necessity to fulfill specific needs. I urge our members and the general public to support Purple Heart Homes.”

Purple Heart Homes, a nonprofit public charity, was founded in 2008 by John Gallina and Dale Beatty, two wounded combat veterans.

After serving their country and suffering injuries in Iraq in 2004, Gallina and Beatty returned to their community and received a warm welcome and grateful appreciation for their service. The veterans are on a mission to care for other service-connected disabled veterans by providing homes that are substantial in function, design, and quality fit for the men and women who served America in conflicts overseas.

Purple Heart Homes was also honored at SMDRA’s Veterans Luncheon later in the day.

Monte Fleming, a representative of Purple Heart Homes, gave an overview of the charity’s history and the services it provides, including a veterans Aging-in-Place program, a homeownership program, community awareness, and other programs designed to fit the specific needs of disabled veterans. Purple Heart Homes will also be the beneficiary of SMDRA’s Diamond Circle Silent Auction held in conjunction with the association’s annual Diamond Circle Awards celebration, SMDRA’s biggest event of the year with more than 600 realtors and affiliates attending the April event.

Greenwood Gulch improvements completed

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

A sunny afternoon Nov. 14 was the setting for the ribbon-cutting to celebrate the completion of the channel improvements and new low flow crossing to Greenwood Gulch

from Holly west through the Preserve. The City of Greenwood Village provided $1.32 million in funding for the $2.128 million project. Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (FCD) contributed $621,000 and Arapahoe County Open Spaces provided

$187,500.

The project was unanimously approved by GV’s city council in October 2017, spearheaded by then GV representative Freda Miklin and current GV representative Dave Bullock, both of whom attended the ribbon-cutting.

The project was managed by Justin Williams, P.E., engineering manager for Greenwood Village’s public works department. Watching over the construction for the Preserve neighborhood and supporting Williams’ efforts from beginning to end was resident

Bob Arnott, Ph.D., of Strategic Environmental Analysis, who happens to live adjacent to Greenwood Gulch.

Williams, still finishing up a few punch list items, told The Villager that the new design is expected to be sustainable for years to come.

Cutting the ribbon celebrating the completion of improvements for Greenwood Gulch were Rich Borchardt of Urban Drainage FCD, Freda Miklin, former GV District 1 city council, Anne Ingebretsen, GV District 2 city council, Preserve resident Sharon Moulton, GV Mayor Ron Rakowsky, Jeff Fisher of Urban Drainage FCD, Dave Bullock, GV District 1 city council, Josh Tenneson of Arapahoe County Open Spaces, Preserve resident Bob Arnott, Ph.D., Brian O’Neal, GV Parks, Trails and Recreation Commissioner, and Justin Williams, P.E., GV public works project manager.

Alzheimer’s warnings often show during holidays

It isn’t surprising that the time when family members are most likely to recognize the first signs of developing Alzheimer’s disease or dementia in a loved one comes during the holiday season.

Family members and friends who have not seen one another for months or even a year gather, and the signs of memory loss or behavioral change become obvious.

The Alzheimer’s Association’s free and confidential 24/7 help line (800-2723900) sees its highest volume of calls at the end of the year. Changes in memory or behavior that seem gradual to those in daily contact can appear as abrupt declines in cognition to out-of-town visitors.

The Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado has developed a helpful checklist of 10

Signs to aid in the early detection of Alzheimer’s. Why is early detection important?

Without it, the ones we love may wait too long to make necessary lifestyle changes that are important to ensure that all medical care options are explored, ranging from medications to research.

Other considerations include personal safety as well as quality of care, and to make necessary financial and estate planning adjustments.

Here is a brief overview of the 10 Signs: 1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life. A typical age-related memory change is occasionally forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. A common sign of Alzheimer’s disease, especially in the early stages, is forgetting recently

learned information. The increasing need to rely on memory aids (reminder notes, electronic devices) or family members for things that one previously handled on their own is a sign.

2. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Making occasional errors, such as checkbook balancing, is not uncommon. If a person experiences changes in the ability to follow a plan or work with numbers, or has difficulty concentrating and completing a task that may be a concern.

3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks. People with Alzheimer’s often find it hard to complete daily tasks. They may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a

budget, or remembering the rules of a familiar game.

4. Confusion with time or place. Losing track of dates, seasons and the passage of time is another indication. Sometimes people with Alzheimer’s can forget where they are or how they got there.

5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships. For some individuals, vision problems can be a sign of Alzheimer’s. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving.

6. New problems with words in speaking or writing.

Tracy flew as a weapon’s director on board the AWACS aircraft before heading off to pilot training and returning home to fly F-16’s at Buckley Air. Force Base.

LaTourrette retired after 22 years of service from the Colorado Air National Guard as deputy director of operations for Colorado Joint Staff. She is a mother and speaker for her own company, “Faith 2 Fly.” Introducing her for the evening Veteran’s Day program was West Point graduate and HEB resident Tom Coker, and also speaking was Aurora city council member for District 6 Francoise Bergan.

tion. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (such as, calling a “watch” a “hand clock”).

7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps. Putting things in unusual places and being unable to find them.

Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing – with more frequency over time.

8. Decreased or poor judgment. People with Alzheimer’s may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers.

They may also pay less attention to grooming and personal cleanliness.

9. Withdrawal from work or social activities. Some individuals may avoid being social because of changes they’re experiencing, removing themselves from work projects, hobbies and sports.

Changes in mood 10. and personality. Increased incidences of confusion, suspicion, depression, fear or anxiety can be a sign.

Individuals can become more easily upset at home, work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing any of the 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, please contact the Alzheimer’s Association of Colorado’s 24/7 bilingual help line at 800-272-3900 for more information (with translation services offered in more than 200 languages and dialects).

The help line is staffed by trained professionals and offered at no charge.

Linda Bowen Scott May 1, 1953 – Nov. 13, 2018

Community leader Linda Bowen Scott died at her home in Littleton, Nov. 13, 2018.

Linda was born in Allentown, Penn. to the late Donald Herbert Bowen who died in 1984 and Shirley M.E. Bowen (nee Zimmer) who died in 2009. She is survived by her daughter Katrina Cullen Scott (Sam Swerdling) of Denver and son Russell Scott IV of Denver. In addition, she is survived by her siblings - Donna M. Werley of Northampton, Penn., Kathleen Bowen of Denver and Christopher D. Bowen of Saucon Valley, Penn. Linda is also survived by nephews Dr. Matthew Werley of Salzburg, Austria and Christopher Werley of Lehigh Valley, Penn.

She attended Allen High School where she played field hockey and was a member of ski club, leaders club and yearbook club. Under the tutelage of Mr. Musselman, she excelled in art class. She moved to Colorado in 1971 to attend the University of Denver where she majored in sociology, was a Vista volunteer and also worked for Advocates for Children and Youth as a grant writer. At DU, she

met her future husband Russell Scott III. She was part of his auto racing amateur and professional crew from 19831987 and from 1988-1990 in Formula Atlantic competition.

Fittingly, she was heavily involved in the inaugural Grand Prix of Denver in 1989-1890 as liaison between racing and nonprofit communities. She co-chaired the Grand Prix Heart Ball from 1990-1992 and was instrumental in securing the title sponsor Hensel Phelps and celebrity artist LeRoy Neiman’s multi-year participation and sponsorship.

Highlights of those years included the likes of stars Kenny Loggins and Bob Newhart who headlined events, along with numerous Indy car drivers as well as local celebrities.

Heart Association volunteer since 1988 and was president of Hearts for Life Guild in 1993.

There was hardly a charity in the Denver area that Linda did not support – large and small. The list is so lengthy, it’s impossible to include every one. She was inspired by Margaret Mead, was an active member, served on dozens of boards, chaired, invented, directed and delivered whatever was necessary for success.

Early on, she hosted meetings, kickoffs and actual galas at her opulent homes with a flourish. Her art skills were evident as a gracious hostess and interior designer. She was a lifetime volunteer and shared her broad spectrum of leadership and creativity as an event planner with countless organizations.

She was especially passionate about Advocates for Learning and Literacy (ALL), of which she was founder and president. The mission of ALL was to promote awareness of dyslexia and raise money for specialized teacher training and collect books so they could better help dyslexic kids. Both her children have dyslexia. Just one of many special fundraisers for ALL was the only premiere of the

She was a catalyst with remarkable ability to reach the appropriate people and bring them together for important and unique events as well as solicit funds. Her focus was the collaboration between corporate and community and her favorite ventures were fashion shows, luxury lifestyle, auto racing and children’s causes.

2019 Corolla - The real package The 2019 Toyota Corolla is about as good as it gets in the smaller car category. This car has it all, including a five-star overall safety rating with two fully loaded Toyota Safety Sense programs and the Star Safety Systems. All of these safety programs can and do prevent accidents with smart camera response to forward moving traffic, sudden stops, and watching for rear cars and pedestrian traffic, like the grocery store parking lots.

While the Corolla is not an all-wheel-drive car, it has heated outside mirrors, seats, and a leather wrapped steering wheel.

Two driving modes that include Eco and Sport work well with the 1.8L-four-cylinder engine that delivers and overall fuel average of 31 miles per gallon.

Well designed with a sleek body and Barcelona red metallic paint gives this Corolla

an appearance of a much more expensive car than the $24,764 fully loaded package. This is one of the best all-around bargains of all driving reviews.

Along with being fully loaded with the best safety equipment, multiple air bags, four-wheel disk brakes, this car is nimble and can really move down the highway with the excellent continuous variable six-speed transmission. I really enjoyed driving this car and give it an excellent rating.

The sound system is very easy to adjust with knobs control volume and stations, sometime high-tech and screen controls take too much driver attention and eyes away from the roads.

Bottom line, this is a sweet small car with above average acceleration, very good gasoline mileage, loaded with safety equipment, and all of the latest high-tech hand’s free technology.

This is the real package at a very competitive price.

Cheers to Tell Me a Story for booking such a primo cast. From affable James Wolk finally playing dark opposite a refreshingly un-glam (and so good!)

Paul Wesley to Kim Cattrall flipping the script on her sassy Sex and the City persona as a compassionate grandmother, CBS All Access’s grim twist on classic fairy tales is a treat you should already be addicted to. End of story.

Cheers to Superstore for employing Eden Sher. The Middle star popped in to the NBC comedy’s Nov. 8 episode as a hilariously peppy job applicant who made Sue Heck seem cool. Too bad she got a limited-time offer was ridiculous that undercover police guys would drive a striped tomato.”

Sometimes TV cars were intentionally more about kooky than cool. The Munsters (CBS, 196466) featured a comically creepy family that parked two tricked-out rides in the drive — both designed by genius car customizer George Barris, who also created memorable vehicles for The Beverly Hillbillies, Batman and Knight Rider. Towering, Frankensteinian Herman (Fred Gwynne) managed to fold himself nicely into the family-sized Koach that was made from three Model T bodies, while vampire Grandpa piloted the Drag-u-la hot rod that fittingly featured a coffin as its body.

Butch Patrick, who played Eddie Munster, said recently that he wasn’t allowed to drive either one until he returned to Universal Studios as an adult and got behind the wheel of the Koach — not realizing that the tires had very little air pressure and no screws holding them to the beam. “I goosed it, and the back two tires came off,” he laughed.

pett clan (CBS, 1962-71), Barris was asked to design a vehicle that could hold the entire batch of bumpkins, plus their stuff. He found it in a 1921 Oldsmobile from which the rear half of the body had already been removed to create a kind of truck — a common modification for rural drivers at the time. Barris added a rear platform with a lady-friendly bench seat so Granny, Elly May and beloved bloodhound Duke enjoyed an unobstructed view.

The Clampett car now resides at the Ralph Foster Museum on the campus of College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Mo. But the most famous vehicle in all of TV and filmdom’s history is the ever-evolving Batmobile. For the ABC TV series Batman (1966-68), Barris bought a discarded 1955 Ford Lincoln Futura concept car for one dollar and spent about $15,000 to equip it with a Batphone, internal mounted rockets and other imaginative crime-fighting gadgets for the Dynamic Duo. The car paid Barris back handsomely: He sold the original Batmobile in 2013 for $4.6 million.

Holy profit, Batman!

Jeers to The Walking Dead for losing its way. With the exit of Andrew Lincoln, AMC’s once-killer zombie drama no longer has Rick Grimes’s central drive to salvage humanity at the heart of the horror, leaving fans with too many newish characters to sort through and very little reason to care about them.

Jeers to Holiday-Movie Overload. It’s not that we don’t love the sleigh full of seasonal flicks from the Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, Freeform and Netflix. It’s just that there are so many now, we’ve lost track of which One Tree Hill vet is visiting her quaint hometown and how many soap-opera alums are stranded at snowy country inns.

SSPR December temporary art exhibits promote South Suburban’s mission to enrich the lives of all its residents and encourage a legacy of art to be enjoyed and appreciated. Most of the displays are available for public viewing Dec. 3-28.

Meghan Wilmesher of Denver has been working with stained glass for about

a year and is excited to bring her exhibit titled Colorado Glass Works Gallery to South Suburban patrons at the Buck Recreation Center. She developed an appreciation of this art form and hopes to revive the public’s interest also with her original display.

Natura Obscura, an immersive arts experience featuring more than 30 Colorado-based artists and creatives, opens at the Museum of Outdoor Arts (MOA) Friday, Jan. 11, 2019, and runs through April 28. Tickets went on sale Nov. 24.

The installation, open to all ages, begs the question, “What’s your nature?” inviting the public to step into a self-guided exploration through a surrealist, dreamlike forest that combines art, sculpture and the latest in virtual, augmented and digital technologies.

MOA and Prismajic designed and produced the installation, collaborating with well-known Colorado artists and 10 intern emerging artists from MOA’s Design and Build education program. Natura Obscura features installations by local artists Chris Bagley, Nicole Banowetz, Tiffany Matheson, Travis Powell, Scott Soffa and Ian Wagner. In addition, Grammy award-winning recording engineer, Mickey Houlihan, along with MOA, produced a custom cloud chamber

environment in MOA’s Sound Gallery as part of the immersive experience.

“For more than 35 years, MOA has curated a variety of immersive experiences. Natura Obscura is the most innovative indoor environment MOA has produced to date.

We anticipate thousands of people will engage with our space in a unique way over the duration of the installation,” said Cynthia Madden Leitner, MOA president. “We encourage people to wander among the surrealist forest where they will encounter fantastical woodland creatures and hopefully leave with a feeling of inspiration and excitement.”

The exhibition will be open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets will be honored until one hour before the closing time to provide enough time to experience the installation.

Tickets range in price from $10 to $20 based on day of the week and time of purchase. To purchase online tickets, please visit naturaobscura.org. Free SCFD days will take place on the first Tuesday of February, March and April.
