Colorado gets rid of the “R”

Dr. “Harry” Potter Huntington, Ph.D., executive director of the Linda Crnic Institute, Dr. Joaquin Espinosa, Ph.D., Sophia Kay Whitten with her mother Michelle Sie Whitten, President and CEO of Global Down Syndrome Foundation.

March 21 is known for being the first full day of spring and numerically it’s 3-21 is used to celebrate World Down Syndrome Day, symbolic of the three sets of the 21st chromosome that people with Down Syndrome have. The 2018 World Down Syndrome Day in Colorado was celebrated with the removal of the “r” word from Colorado legislation.

Gov. John Hickenlooper signed the House Bill eliminating the dated terms “mental retardation” and “mentally retarded” with “intellectual disabilities” and “developmental disabilities” where appropriate in legislation. In essence this action further eliminates the perceived stigma of those who have Down Syndrome, giving way for more opportunities in being active and contributing members of society.

Economic vibrancy celebrated by the Metro Denver EDC A standing-room-only crowd of more than 500 state and metro-Denver business leaders last week applauded the news that the state’s economy is the healthiest it has ever been, due in large part to our region’s ability to collaborate.

“We’re showing off something that other parts of the country, haven’t figured out yet,” said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. “US News & World Report ranked us as the number one economy in the U.S. …. this is all a function

of the unity of this region.”

The March 22 event at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (officially the 14th Annual Meeting and Awards Luncheon) saw business leaders paying tribute to Hickenlooper with a special recognition award.

“Long before he was ever elected to office, he was an entrepreneur, he helped transform LoDo into the bustling business center it is today, he understood and promoted economic development amenities like sports stadiums and international flights. And that experience has made him an in-

Report from the Arapahoe County Republican Assembly

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

State Rep. Susan Beckman from Littleton Arapahoe County Secretary Jay Ledbetter and GOP with her husband Bruce, former Littleton chairman Rich Sokol. They supervise 18 district mayor. She was nominated for re-election to captains and 395 precincts within the county. the state Legislature from House District 38.

Rich Sokol, Arapahoe County Republican party chair, told The Villager that delegates to the March 24 county assembly held at the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds enthusiastically welcomed and listened to all its candidates for Colorado governor, along with Sen. Cory Gardner and 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, candidate for Colorado Attorney General.

The gubernatorial candidates included Colorado Treasurer Walker Stapleton, businessman Doug Robinson and former Colorado legislator Victor Mitchell, who have submitted petitions for being included on the Republican primary ballot. Those petitions are being carefully reviewed by Secretary of State Wayne Williams to make sure that all signatures are valid, and that no party member signed more than one candidate’s petition (only the first signature turned in counts). The remainder of the field, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, former Parker mayor Greg Lopez, Larimer County Commissioner Lew Gaiter, 2017 Trump campaign co-chair Steve Barlock and March 21 entrant businessman Barry Farah, hope to ascend to the statewide Republican primary ballot by attaining 30 percent of the votes at the state assembly

on April 14. Since delegates can only vote for one candidate at assembly, no more than three in that group can be successful.

The assembly confirmed the selection of Republican candidates for county commissioner, state representatives in HD 3, 37 and 38, and the county clerk, assessor, treasurer, coroner and sheriff. Only one race was contested, county commissioner in District 4, which was won by Winfred Deal.

What is new this year and at the top of Sokol’s mind, is that unaffiliated voters will be permitted to vote in party primary elections held in June. He said that Arapahoe County has the largest number of true swing voters in Colorado. Results of the 2016 presidential election bear that out. In 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton bested President Donald Trump by a whopping 16 percentage points in Arapahoe County, while Rep. Mike Coffman still beat his Democratic challenger by four points, a 20-point swing.

There are currently 414,815 registered voters in Arapahoe County. 38 percent are unaffiliated, 33 percent are declared Democrats and 24 percent are affiliated with the GOP. Since each and every one of the 157,021 unaffiliated voters can choose to vote in either party’s primary, they represent a true unknown and are drawing the focus of party leaders.

Coffman and Brauchler display their fitness

BY RON RAKOWSKY

At a birthday eve celebration for Rep. Mike Coffman on March 18 at Salvage Restaurant in Aurora, an unusual event occurred. The master of ceremony, District Attorney George Brauchler, a Colonel in the Colorado National Guard and candidate for attorney general, challenged retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Coffman to do a pushup for each year since his birth — 63.

Those in attendance demanded that Brauchler match the congressman pushup for pushup. Both elected officials, inshape veterans, successfully completed the mission with minimal effort.

High Line Canal enters planning phase

The High Line Canal Conservancy has launched the second phase of significant planning for the High Line Canal, a beloved 71-mile regional trail. This multijurisdictional planning initiative follows on the heels of the Community Vision Plan completed in early 2017. This planning phase will focus on a Framework Plan a multiyear implementation plan to ensure that the canal reaches its greatest potential as an environmental, recreational, social, historic and economic asset. It will include complete plans for signage and wayfinding, as well as landscape guidelines for all 71 miles.

The first phase of public open houses for the Framework Plan is

in April. The open houses will include an existing conditions analysis, preliminary signage designs, and an opportunity for input on potential enhancement projects and project priorities. Continued support and engagement from the citizens of the region is vital to ensure the future of the canal is reflective of the public vision.

Everyone is encouraged to share

their thoughts.

The meetings will be held between 4:30 and 7:30 p.m.: Tuesday, April 10, at Goodson Recreation Center – 6315 S. University Boulevard Thursday, April 26, at Aurora Central Library – 14949 E. Alameda Parkway For more information, visit highlinecanal.org/framework.

Former Grandview security guard sentenced for sexual assault

A former security guard at Grandview High School was sentenced March 21 to a year in jail for sexually assaulting and exploiting a Grandview student.

In January, Broderick Lundie, 30, pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child and sex assault. Judge Jeffrey Holmes sentenced Lundie to 12 months in jail followed by eight years of Sex Offender Intensive Supervision Probation. As part of his sentence, he must register as a sex offender.

“Whether a teacher, a guidance counselor or a janitor – we expect and trust those who work in our schools and have special access to our children to protect them when we send them to class, not prey upon them,” said District Attorney George Brauchler. “This guy took advantage of a girl not yet old enough to understand the implications of her actions. Instead of keeping her secure, he victimized her for his self-gratification.”

Lundie was arrested in May 2017 after Aurora police detectives learned he was having an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old student that included sexting and oral sex in his car.

Police found 16,000 deleted text messages on the victim’s phone as well as photos of the victim’s exposed breast and Lundie’s exposed penis.

“This defendant occupied a position of trust in the school district that employed him,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Christopher Gallo told the court during sentencing.

“The facts of this case indicate a betrayal of that trust. He deserves to spend time in jail.”

Remembering ‘Big Rock Candy Mountain’

Reflecting on the news of the day, I keep remembering a song that I heard as a little tyke and even a picture still in my mind of a pied piper leading a line of kids up a candy mountain. The piper was playing a tune and the kids were climbing the hill in search of the candy on the mountaintop.

This haunting refrain led me to google the lyrics below: Big Rock Candy Mountain

By Harry McCormick First recorded in 1928 One evening as the sun went down Down the track came a hobo hiking, And he said, “Boy’s, I’m not turning I’m headed for a land that’s far away Besides the crystal fountains So, come with me, we’ll go and see The Big Rock Candy Mountains In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, There’s a land that’s fair and bright.

Where the handouts grow on bushes And you sleep out every night Where the boxcars all are empty And the sun shines every day On the birds and the bees And the cigarette trees The lemonade springs

Where the bluebird sings In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains All the cops have wooden legs And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs The farmer’s trees are full of fruit And the….

I can remember the artwork and also Burl Ives singing this song on the radio. It became an iconic work that has almost been forgotten.

All of the marches this past week kind of remind me of this song.

The kids are mad. They should be! I would be really mad if one of my classmates was gunned down by an ex-student, or by anyone else.

It is hard to assess blame because so much of it exists.

I would put mental illness at the top of the list. A close second would be the addiction of young and old to violent entertainment and the rampant use of firearms in movies and television. If you noticed, the actors don’t use single shots anymore, but automatic weapons.

Rounding out third place would be the usage of various drugs: uppers and downers with a boost of illegal substances.

I turned off the Texas Tech and Villanova basketball game Sunday to attend the Tattered Book Cover book signing event by my CSU friend and colleague Mike Rosser.

The event was eventful, his talk on the subject of mortgage banking went back to Civil War days and eastern bankers and British interests bankrolling loans for development out West. This was a tricky business, according to Mike, who has become a real expert on the historical aspect of mortgage banking as a third-generation banker.

Mike, a longtime resident of Arapahoe County, teamed

Ramblin’ around the corral with Bob Sweeney

up with talented writer/teacher Diane Sanders to produce this interesting book called, A History of Mortgage Banking in the West, Financing America’s Dreams. (Books for sale at Tattered Cover.)

Mike’s family had some mortgage banking experiences in Kansas decades ago and he relates many national and Colorado details on how the mortgage banking industry helped develop property loans for industry, agriculture and homes out West. He credits Herbert Hoover’s many programs for developing the present-day loan structured systems.

Mike and I both attended

Ban guns – no!

The NRA doesn’t sell drugs, but supports the second amendment.

The founding fathers wanted local militia to be able to defend the country from domestic or foreign enemies and made it very clear that citizens should be armed to protect themselves and their country.

I think that we will find schools as just one of the targets. There are so many targets to be found, and so many weapons to use beyond guns. So far, we’ve seen cars, trucks, bombs, swords, and poisons. The locations are easy to find almost anywhere there is a crowd of people assembled.

The school kids are marching now, kind of like the jingle song towards Rock Candy Mountain and led by political motivated pied pipers hoping for political advantages come fall.

We all should be marching for better health care and detection and treatment of mentally ill, but who’s to be the judge?

We all should be marching to enhance background checks.

We all should be marching to support our police and law enforcement teams for quick responses and trained guards.

We all should be marching to support our school teachers.

There is a little bit of Rock Candy Mountain in most of us and I’d like to find that lemonade stream.

of high-profile mass murders. Instead of a drop in crime, a crime was the result of their passing gun control laws.

Citizens in countries like Great Britain disarmed themselves with the false promise of reduced crime. Another case in point is Australia where the percentage of people victimized has risen since politicians began enacting gun control laws that allowed the confiscation and destruction of thousands of personally owned guns.

It is obvious that one is more likely to be victimized in a country that has destroyed an individual’s right to own a gun than in the United States because an armed individual has the ability and means to protect himself or herself and criminals are less likely to attack them.

In conclusion – as this century has shown, terrorist governments have the capacity to commit genocide against millions of people, provided that the people are unarmed. Schemes to confiscate firearms kept by peaceful citizens have historically been associated with some of the world’s most terrible tyrannies.

Given this reality, it is obvious why lawabiding citizens object to the government’s right to control their guns.

America is finally listening to its children

After serving in the Army in Vietnam, I found myself attending college at the University of Minnesota. It was 1970, the U of M campus was caught in the middle of the anti-war struggle with student protests filling the campus with rallies, student sit-ins and protests calling for an end to the Vietnam War. There were a variety of organizations protesting the war ranging from the left-leaning Students for a Democratic Society, civil rights organizations, the Catholic Church, the American Friends Services Committee and later, the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Thousands of student protesters would as-

semble on campus with rallies to protest America’s military involvement in its Southeast Asian war.

Some rallies included protest songs from Joan Baez and Pete Seeger calling for the end of the war.

Not much resulted from these protest rallies until Vietnam veterans, wounded emotionally and physically, joined the protests.

Then five students were killed

by National Guard soldiers at Kent State University in 1970.

Those deaths, shown on television, in addition to the constant protest voices of students, finally began to change the minds of the American people and their congressional representatives.

There is a stark similar reaction occurring among our citizens today in seeing nearly a million young school students filling the streets of America Saturday, protesting the failure of the adults in their world of protecting them from the violence that is killing their fellow students in the classrooms of their schools.

The similarity of these two historic events, 50 years apart, is America’s reaction. Both movements were led by protesters who have suffered personally from those violent acts. Both were speaking truth to power and continue today. It was those combat veterans who witnessed the cruelty of war and those students who witnessed the killing of their fellow students who had

Sokol putting up a matched $50 donation.

The event started on time and ended on time which was an outstanding feat pulled off by the chair and central committee.

There were 686 delegates allocated from the 18 districts and 393 precincts; by 10:15 a.m. there were 507 delegates on the assembly floor. The delegates were ready to nominate the five countywide candidates for re-election, county assessor, county clerk, county sheriff, coroner and county treasurer, none facing any primary opponents and all five current incumbent officeholders running as a team of “Fab Five.”

During the morning session, governor hopefuls came and went offering their credentials in two minutes. Most were mindful of the time limits and respected the timers. Rep. Mike Coffman was given a pass along with U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner. Both spoke slightly longer and were well received.

Some loudmouth in the audience

heckled Coffman but was quickly silenced by chairman Sokol.

Coffman pleased conservatives stating that he voted against the massive $1.33 trillion federal budget last week. Gardner stressed taking back the governor’s mansion and praised President Trump’s tax cuts, stating that it improved income for 92 percent of Americans.

Nancy Sharpe was nominated for her third and final term as a county commissioner. House seats were filled quickly and only one primary challenger, Roger Edwards, will challenge Coffman in the 6th District race assembly April 7.

Seven resolutions were submitted by written ballot for the delegate assembly to cast on issues of the convention of states; the balanced budget; immigration/ Deferred Action for Child Arrivals program; Second Amendment; school safety; and humanity of the unborn/ by federal tax dollars. The results are pending. *** The highlight of the week was

attending the “Lamb of God” musical performance at the D.U. Newman Center concert hall featuring the Colorado Mormon Chorale & Orchestra. The event was presented by the Littleton Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and produced by Cornerstone Productions.

We were the guests of David Liggett for the evening performance.

We could have been in a New York City Broadway performance or a Denver Center Hamilton production because this two-hour performance was world class. A large choir of outstanding voices was complimented by 14 accomplished singers, soloists, and narrators telling and singing the Easter message about Jesus Christ.

There were three performances during the week by the production company chaired by James A. Miller. The “Lamb of God” message of hope musical was composed by Rob Gardner originating to tell the story of the last days of Jesus Christ. The original score was first produced in Salt Lake

the courage to publicly express their uncompromising and committed voices to demand an end to the senseless violence.

The immediate, strong, vocal voice of Parkland has overnight created a national nonpartisan movement that will finally call to account those elected officials who have supported the manufacturing and public sales of semi-automatic military assault weapons that have killed their friends. Millions of students and their supporters marched throughout the country. Several thousand students marched in downtown Denver expressing support for changes in gun laws.

They have spread the compelling message to the American people despite the millions and millions of dollars spent by the

National Rifle Association in campaign contributions to its friends in congress. Their message “Not One More.”

It is refreshing to see the courage of an 11-year- old student threaten those United States congressional representatives who continue to receive contributions from the NRA, and who have not made any progress toward a solution to gun violence with her promised vote of removing them from office.

Littleton Adventist Hospital and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office host blood drive Event will honor fallen deputy, first responders

To honor the memory of Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Zackari Parrish, as well as the daily service of the men and women of the sheriff’s office and Castle Rock Police Department, Littleton Adventist Hospital and Bonfils Blood Center will host

two blood drives from 1 to 6 p.m. on Friday, March 30.

Parrish was shot and killed responding to a call from a gunman who lured officers to a Highlands Ranch apartment complex on Dec. 31, 2017. Three other deputies from the sheriff’s office and one officer from the Castle Rock Police Department were also wounded in the shooting.

Most were treated at Littleton

Adventist.

“This is a tribute to our first responders’ honorable service and incredible sacrifice, and a way for people in our community to show their appreciation for the officers who risk it all every day to keep us safe,” said Christine Miller, associate chief nursing officer and director of critical care services at Littleton Adventist. “Treating the wounded responders and meeting

their families has had a profound impact on our hospital, it’s really brought home what it means to be part of this community. We hope people will come to show their support and pay it forward with a life-saving donation.”

The drive will be held at two locations: Littleton Adventist Hospital, 7700 S. Broadway in Littleton, and Centura Health Emergency &

Urgent Care, 9205 S. Broadway in Highlands Ranch.

It will be followed by a 5 to 7 p.m. free networking event.

Part of the session will focus on quantifying the economic opportunity of the technology. The session will be led by consultants from AddWorks, GE Additive’s in-house design consulting group, who helped design the fuel nozzle and advanced turboprop, both of which are certified by the Federal Aviation Association. The

team says the re-engineered parts gained significant weight savings, part count reduction, and better performance.

“Additive manufacturing is fundamentally changing how manufacturing is done, but what often stops organizations from starting their additive journey is a fear of the unknown and understanding what the payback is going to be,” says Heidi Hostetter, vice president of Faustson Tool,

associated with Manufacturers Edge.

Manufacturer’s Edge encourages the strength and competitiveness of Colorado manufacturers through on-site technical assistance including coaching, training, consulting, and collaboration-focused industry programs.

“This stretch of I-25 is heavily traveled on and is a major economical route,” said Paul Jesaitis, Region 1 Transportation director. “The project will consist of resurfacing the interstate to create a smoother commute for motorists and will also promote the longevity and safety of this section of I-25.”

This $11 million overlay project will also include bridge deck, expansion joint and median barrier repairs and installation of new overhead signs approaching C-470. This project is expected to end in winter 2018.

Travel impacts Motorists should expect various lane closures on

northbound and southbound I-25 in the work zone.

Typical work hours will be Sunday through Thursday, 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. A speed reduction to 55 mph will be in place during work hours.

Weekend and daytime work may occur as needed. Motorists are asked to please go slow in the cone zone.

RTD hosts telephone town halls to discuss projects, gather feedback Events will be held in March and April for all 15 RTD districts

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) wants to keep the community informed about current operations and plans for improving local transportation infrastructure, as well as to gather feedback from the community.

To do that, the agency is hosting a series of hourlong telephone town halls in March and April for each of the 15 districts in its service area.

Those who join in the telephone town hall sessions can learn the latest details about current bus and light rail service, RTD’s FasTracks transit expansion program and other projects that are underway. These interactive calls allow RTD board directors and staff to have a conversation with members of the communities the agency serves.

Participants will have the opportunity to ask their elected board

member questions and participate in live polls during the event by using their keypads to answer or to enter responses through the RTD website.

About 30,000 residents in each of the 15 RTD districts will be called at random through an automated system and invited to take part in the public telephone forum. Interested participants are encouraged to pre-register by visiting the RTD website to receive a call when the event starts.

For more information, please contact Christina Zazueta, RTD’s community engagement manager, at Christina.Zazueta@ rtd-denver.com or 303.299.2675.

The telephone town halls are scheduled as follows: Monday, March 26 6:15 p.m. – District E, Director Dr. Claudia Folska, Ph.D. 7:30 p.m. – District K, Director Paul D. Solano Thursday, March 29 6:15 p.m. – District I, Director Judy Lubow 7:30 p.m. – District G, Director

Colorado secret sauce is the legendary Colorado collaboration. We emerged from the tough times of the 1980s here because we worked regionally to build our economy.”

Ament acknowledged the

issues that the state faces; including transportation and mobility issues, rising home costs, the metro area’s high employment statistics making it more difficult for businesses to fill positions, and lagging rural economies. But he said the state’s abundance of good jobs and quality of life make up for the growing pains. “We have a culture of collaboration

and leadership. We need to find the space between Utopia and Armageddon. Our brand is we are the best place to combine economic opportunity and quality of life!”

Brough echoed that thought.

“The underlying values that are making us successful each highlight innovation. We take risks, but they’re calculated.

We work together – it’s that

working together is what has set us apart from other regions because we have a shared vision about our future.”

The impact of the metro area is especially evident in the statistics for Denver International Airport. It accounts for $30 billion in economic impact and stands alone among U.S. airports in its potential for future expan-

sion. Just this past year, it has launched 11 new nonstop routes.

“It’s been an amazing five years since 2011, said Denver Mayor Michael Hancock, on behalf of DIA CEO Kim Day. “Denver’s priority was to make Denver more globally competitive and more globally connected and that’s what has happened.”

Community policing in Greenwood Village

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER The Greenwood Village website says that its police department is committed and passionate about serving its community. It describes community-based policing as a means to prevent crime, fear of crime, and social disorder. No one would disagree.

Greenwood’s police department offers programs designed to interact with the community when all is well and they aren’t responding to a call. Those include the citizens police academy, youth police academy, ride-along program,

facility tours, and presentations to homeowner associations and business groups.

Last week, Cherry Creek High School observed, “Spread the Word to End the Word Week,” to focus on the importance of showing respect for people with mental disabilities. Greenwood Village police showed up to demonstrate community policing in real time.

On March15, GVPD officers Rodney Valenzuela, George Voight, Suzanne Beckstrom, Mike Lobach and Tyler Heaton played a heartwarming basketball game against Cherry Creek High School’s Uni-

fied team. The team is made up of Creek students with disabilities, including Down syndrome and autism, who are paired with ordinary students who volunteer to support them in having the opportunity to play on a school sports’ team. The officers, also volunteers, ran up and down the court in full uniform, including the 30-pound waist belts that hold all their equipment. A number of the students were accompanied by aides wearing tee shirts that said, “See the Able, not the Label,” and “Pledge to Show Respect.” “The players smiled with glee as they bested the police.

Greenwood Village City Council hears from its police chief 467 ADAMS STREET

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER At its March 19 meeting, Greenwood Village City Council received a presentation from Police Chief Dustin Varney on the use of photo red light traffic management.

Varney pointed out that the purpose of photo red light citations is to decrease the number and severity of accidents, save lives and make roadways safer.

He also shared that state laws governing utilization of this technology are generally understood and accepted.

Council was told that the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety announced that running red lights is the leading cause of car accidents and injuries in cities. Greenwood Village has used this technology since 2005 and

experienced excellent results, particularly at busy intersections where there is no practical location for an officer to observe traffic.

The program is administered by an outside contractor, American Traffic Solutions. According to the city, 93 percent of drivers who receive photo red light citations do not get another one, overwhelming evidence that these tickets induce positive behavior change. Varney also told council that 77 percent of all tickets issued are paid, resulting in net revenue, after costs, of $100,000 annually.

Currently, photo red light cameras are in place at Belleview Avenue and Quebec Street, Orchard Road and Quebec Street, and Arapahoe Road and Yosemite Street. Cameras will be operational at Belleview

Avenue and Dayton Street in time for the 2018-2019 school year.

Responding to a question from council member Steve Moran, Varney told the group that the most dangerous intersection in GV is Arapahoe Road and Dayton Street, owing to the concentration of nearby businesses, proximity to I-25, and the plethora of pedestrians at all hours of day and night.

Council resolved to review that intersection, as well as two others, to determine if photo red light traffic management is warranted.

Later in the evening, Varney asked for and received council’s approval to use $216,000 in forfeiture proceeds it recently received, to purchase metal chest plates that stop rifle rounds for GV police officers.

Centennial objects to approval by Aurora for marijuana dispensary The Centennial City Council is not happy with the Aurora City Council’s approval of a marijuana dispensary in a small strip of land near the intersection of East Arapahoe Road and South Jordan Road. Centennial council members intend to prepare a letter to the Aurora City Council expressing Centennial’s displeasure and asking them to reconsider.

The decision of the Aurora council is “intolerable,” said Councilman Ron Weidmann.

Council member Mike Sutherland, an attorney, said he would write the letter to the Aurora council and hand deliver it to an Aurora council meeting. Sutherland said that the annexation of the small strip of land was a “flagpole annexation.”

In other business, Centen-

nial City Council members were asked March 19 to weigh in on tax incentives for seniors who adapt their homes to allow them to “age in place.”

Legislation that would permit seniors to age in place is being considered by the Colorado General Assembly, and there is an opportunity to weigh in again this year, Mayor Stephanie Piko stated.

In other business, the council: Heard reports from Council members Ken Lucas and Kathy Turley, and also Piko, concerning the recent National League of Cities conference in Washington, D.C. Lucas said the schedule in Washington “was grueling.” Piko said it was encouraging to see the way in which the federal legislators worked, and that their work ethic was impressive. Lucas said that, while he was waiting for Sen. Cory Gardner, there was an admiral waiting to meet with Gardner,

and the admiral had three body guards.

Mike Sutherland said he had attended the Cherry Creek Basin Water Authority meeting for Piko while she was in Washington. He said he provided an “update on the fiber backbone” of the City of Centennial.

Councilwoman Candace Moon reminded the council of the celebration of the Tuskegee Airmen, and stated that there used to be 19 Tuskegee airmen in Colorado.

Now, there are only three left, she said. The rest are deceased.

The council met in closed session to receive legal advice related to methods of converting existing billboards to a newer digital format, and also to receive legal advice concerning the public use of meeting rooms within municipal facilities. It is unknown what the advice or discussions were.

The Green Fuse has landscaping questions SUBMITTED BY THE GREEN FUSE Does landscape fabric keep weeds away from your beautiful garden beds? No, the majority of weed seeds come from the air or are already in the soil.

Weeds can grow almost anywhere, including through fabric.

Once weeds grow through the fabric, they become enmeshed with the fabric, making it more difficult to remove them effectively. Usually, removing the weed entirely means tearing the fabric or leaving the weed’s root behind, essentially pruning the weed and encouraging it to grow back more vigorously.

How does fabric affect the soil? Landscape fabric sterilizes the soil by reducing oxygen intake. Plant roots will grow more closely to the surface to gain oxygen. This might not seem important, but imagine a tree that is shallow rooted. Shallow-rooted trees are the first to fall during a strong wind or produce unsightly suckers. Fabric also keeps out

natural enzymes, rain and beneficial insects. The healthiest soil is dark brown, crumbly and loose.

Additionally, some fabric is made of petroleum products which can be harmful to your health if used around edible plants.

What is the best alternative for unsightly fabric? Use a 2” - 3” layer of mulch instead of the fabric to deter weeds and regular maintenance. One of the best ways to keep weeds at bay is to have a garden full of healthy native plants that can stand up to

What if you already have fabric and weeds are still popping up? The Green Fuse would recommend removing the fabric so you can get down to the roots of the weeds and give your plants and soil the best opportunity to thrive.

that they would not experience if they were to stay in their homes. Family members don’t realize that being in their homes won’t give them the opportunity for the social interaction, exercise, reminiscing or connecting to past interests.

The other opportunity that coming into a community can give them is the many types of engagement that they will be involved in which is extremely important to slow down the process of the disease. Lives change for those on this journey when in the proper environment. The time to choose to move to a community is sooner rather than later.

So once a diagnosis is made, especially if it is very early onset, one should begin to create criteria for what you would like your loved one to experience when living in a memory care community.

available.

Find out about staff screening and training procedures, their turnover rate, and the staff-toresident ratio. They should have at least one staff member for every five residents.

Make sure the facility offers quality activities that can keep your mom engaged, even at night when she may be awake. Ask how they respond to residents who may wander or become aggressive. If the answer is locked doors and antipsychotic drugs, that’s a red flag.

Because transitions can be unsettling for dementia suffers, make sure that your mom will be able to remain at the facility for the foreseeable future.

And find out what, if any, health conditions might require your mom to leave the facility or move to a higher and more expansive level of care.

It’s also a good idea to make multiple visits to the facility including an unscheduled visit at night or on weekends when the staff is more likely to be stretched thin.

To help you evaluate your visit, the Alzheimer’s Association offers a checklist that you can access at ALZ.org/residentialfacilities.

Paying for care: The national average costs for memory care within an assisted living facility is over $5,000 per month, and over $7,500/month for nursing home care, but costs can vary widely depending on your location. Since Medicare does not cover longterm care, most residents pay for care from either personal savings, a long-term care insurance policy, or through Medicaid (if available)

once their savings are depleted.

To help you research your financial options, visit the National Clearinghouse for Long-Term Care Information website at LongTermCare.gov.

Wellshire Presbyterian Church was certified as an Earth Care Congregation by Presbyterian Church’s Environmental Ministries through February 2019.

This honor speaks to the great commitment that Wellshire Presbyterian Church has to caring for God’s earth.

To become an Earth Care Congregation, this congregation affirmed the Earth Care Pledge to integrate environmental practices and thinking into all facets of its church life and completed projects and activities in the fields of worship, education, facilities, and outreach.

The Earth Care Congrega-

tion certification is designed to recognize churches that make the commitment to take seriously God’s charge to “till and keep” the garden.

“It is exciting that Wellshire Presbyterian Church is dedicated to intentional care of God’s earth.

The congregation’s activities and commitment will inspire others to respond intentionally to God’s call to care for the earth,” says Jessica Maudlin, associate for Sustainable Living and Earth Care Concerns for the Presbyterian Church.

The Earth Care Congregations program was started in 2010 by PC Environmental Ministries.

The goal of the program is to inspire churches to care for God’s earth in a holistic way, through integrating earth care into all of their church life. The Earth Care Congregation certification honors churches that make that commitment and encourages others to follow their example.

Let him Easter in us.

Gerard Manley Hopkins

ready to permanently move to a foreign country. It was about their entrance into a whole new kind of life.

Others had a different draw toward the light. They were already part of the community of faith through their baptism but had acted in some way that damaged the community.

Known as “penitents,” their Lent was for counsel, prayer and for acts of reparation as they got ready for re-entry into the community. For them, being Eastered was like returning home after leaving on bad terms. It was about relational redemption. As their deeds had come into the light, they confessed and found forgiveness as they moved back into community. The light of Christ exposed them and then invited them home, a beautiful picture of redemption.

These two images of being Eastered – entering a new life or returning home – both connect us with the Eastering of Christ Himself. Though He did not need to be converted to

a new life, He needed to die in order to create the path for us.

Though He did not need to repent, He took on our sins as His own – and suffered for them - to provide us the forgiveness we need so that we can be welcomed home.

To be Eastered is to continually respond to the light of Christ.

To be Eastered is to say “yes” to His invitation into a new kind of life.

To be Eastered is to let Him see your sins and heal your broken relationships.

To be Eastered is to see your suffering in solidarity with Christ. Ultimately, To be Eastered is to enjoy the resurrected life He offers.

While you enjoy the rich cultural aspects of Easter Sunday, be reminded that you don’t simply celebrate Easter, you are Eastered. And may Christ Himself continue to Easter in you all year long.

Dave Meserve, Associate Pastor Highline Community Church

Being Eastered

What is Easter to you? It is the day we celebrate Christ’s resurrection, of course, the crescendo of the church year. It is the first Sunday after Passover, a moveable feast that always follows the full moon after the spring equinox. It is arguably the most important day of the year for those who call themselves followers of Christ!

It just might not feel that way for you.

It may feel more cultural.

Nostalgically, Easter is a day of family: egg hunts, new clothes and chocolate as well as church.

No reason to be cynical about these things - a family Sunday is beautiful. Yet, we know that Easter is more than a family holiday and even more than a holy day. It is something that happens to us and within us.

Easter is a verb.

Gerard Manley Hopkins coined the verbal form of “Easter” in his poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland. Opinions vary on what he meant, but some understand it as a nautical term meaning to steer your craft toward the east and, therefore, into the light. In this sense, to let him Easter in us is to be guided by the light of Christ.

Over the centuries people have been drawn to the light of Easter for different reasons.

Beginning early in the church’s history, Easter Sunday was the day of baptism. Those seeking to join the community of Christ did not simply make a profession of faith. Instead, they made their intentions known and were guided on a long path to receive the light of Christ. Lent – from a word meaning “lengthen” as the days get longer with light - was the preparation time for their baptism. This included instruction, counsel, and examination (even interviewing with their neighbors to see how they really lived). For these catechumens, to be Eastered was not like honoring a day or making a statement of belief. For them, being Eastered was like preparing to get married or getting

Dreams come alive again at WildeFire Bistro

BY TONY DAVID

Dreams are born in some of the most unlikely venues. My dream started back in 1994 at a little club called Aunt Evelyn’s, the original Aurora Summit before they moved to Havana and Yale and became a Denver Metro icon.

It all started with one song that I knew by heart, Can’t help falling in Love by Elvis Presley. I just happened to walk into Aunt Evelyn’s with a friend I went to high school with who sang in a band. He bet me $100 that I would not get up and sing in the contest.

Long story short, after seven weeks having to go back and sing another song, I won the contest and a trip to Las Vegas to sing a song with the Fortunes at The Star Dust.

My mentors, Danny Dale, Jim Purcell, of the The Glass Menagerie, and Bo Cottrell of The Lawmen, another renowned Denver show band. With the

combo of these two groups I learned how to present a show and be comfortable onstage with a room full of strangers. These strangers became my friends and I ended up performing for thousands of guests over 24 years.

I started to figure out through years of playing in night clubs, restaurants, country clubs and private events from Reno to Washington, D.C., performing at the Aurora Summit first, when Wayne Lapp owned it and then Ed and Gayle Novak, made it a special place for all, whether you were there for dinner or entertainment.

After 20 years of fans and friends asking me why I didn’t open my own supper club and seeing how other establishments lacked the art of customer service, I started giving it a lot of thought. Then came my chance to give a fresh start to the once renowned Bistro Al Vino a place that most everyone loved, and a cornerstone of our community

for 17 years. They did a great job, but as life would have it, things changed, and unfortunately degraded when it first sold. I know, because I performed there for nine years every Thursday night with the exception of one year while it was being remodeled.

My fellow singing partners in the group WildeFire, Pam Hughes, Kerry Edwards, Susan Skojec, and Marla Downer, give their hearts and souls to Bistro’s.

So, with a push and a tug I agreed, along with my wife Dani, extended family members, Tony and Misty Dosen, son Nicholas, daughter Madison, son-in-law Reggie and the owner of the building Darrel Schmidt, gave us the chance to make a dream come true.

The WildeFire Bistro will be open seven days week 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., week nights and 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., or earlier on Fridays and Saturdays and will focused on great service and excellent prices.

Holland — Bartoszek engagement

SMA alumna Sarah Fukami

St. Mary’s Academy alumna opens art exhibition St. Mary’s Academy Visual Arts Department has announced the opening of Gathering: a Meditation on Process, in the Coyle Gallery in the high school. This exhibition features works by SMA alumna Sarah Fukami a 2010 graduate. Fukami’s work focuses on the development and evolution of identity, particularly in relation to the immigrant experience. Her Japanese family was interned during World War II, and her art is rooted in social justice.

Fukami received her

Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction from the University of Denver in 2014. She completed a two-year residency at RedLine, Denver’s celebrated contemporary art center. Specializing in mixed media printmaking, her work ranges from traditional techniques to straddling the line between the two- and three-dimensional utilizing materials such as Plexiglas.

Her work focuses on the development and evolution of identity, particularly in relation to the immigrant ex-

Sean and Carrie Holland of Littleton announce the engagement of their daughter Brooke Ashleigh Holland to Eric Bradley Bartoszek, son of Bernie Bartoszek of Parker and Dale Bartoszek of Lone Tree.

Brooke is a graduate from Heritage High School in Littleton. She attended the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley and received her bachelor’s degree in history and secondary education. She is currently working on her master’s degree in Educational Policy. She is employed at Columbine High School and teaches American Government and United States History.

Eric is a graduate from Ponderosa High School in Parker. He earned his bachelors degree in history at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. He is employed at Premo Steel Buildings as a district manager. Eric is a proud father of a beautiful little girl named Stella Lilly.

Brooke and Eric met at the Cowboy Lounge in October 2015. After a two-year courtship, Eric proposed to Brooke at the Meditation Gardens atop a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in San Diego, Calif. A June 21 summer wedding celebration will be held at Noah’s Event Center in Westminster. The couple’s future plans include raising a family in the south metro area of Denver.

perience. More recently, she has become interested in the dissemination of history by searching through national archives and investigating unknown individuals from records and photographs.

On March 22, Fukami shared her work and process with SMA students and taught a workshop to art students where she explained how to use a variety of media to transfer images from one surface to another, a technique used for illustrators and mixed-media artists.

Andrew Beckham, Visual Arts Department chair, said, “Sarah Fukami is proof-positive that high school students who are serious about art can lay a foundation at SMA that will launch them on a successful trajectory for college and beyond. Perhaps even more importantly, Sarah is an extraordinary example of an SMA alumna who internalized and took with her the Loretto School Values. Central to her artwork and vision are issues of social justice and the need for an inclusive,

compassionate, multicultural society. She is one of Denver’s up-and-coming art stars, as is evidenced from her stint as artist-in-residence at RedLine, to the visibility of her work in top-tier institutional exhibitions, most recently in the Art and Conflict Show at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities.

It was a pleasure to have been able to work with Sarah during her high school career, and I am immensely proud of what she has accomplished since.”

BY ROSEMARY FETTER

The ubiquitous egg has been a traditional harbinger of spring from earliest times.

As far back as the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Persians, scholars believed that the world began with an enormous egg – not that far from the truth.

In medieval Europe, eggs decorated New Year trees and Maypoles. The affluent would exchange eggs covered

with gilt or gold leaf, while peasants colored their eggs by boiling them with flowers, leaves or even insects.

Household records of King Edward I of England (12391307) record a payment of eighteen pence for 450 eggs to be gold-leafed and colored for Easter gifts.

Some believed the yolk of an egg laid on Good Friday would turn to diamond after 100 years, although exactly

how an egg could be kept intact for a century without a freezer remains uncertain.

Good Friday eggs cooked on Easter Sunday were said to promote the fertility of the trees and crops and protect against sudden deaths.

Two yolks in an Easter egg meant an omen of prosperity.

In the late 19th century, Russian goldsmith Peter Carl Fabergé created the world’s most valuable Easter eggs for Czar Alexander III and his son, Nicholas II, to give to their wives at Easter. Working with a team of nearly 500 designers, goldsmiths, jewelers and carvers, he created some of Europe’s greatest treasures from precious metals, enamels and jewels.

Fabergé was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, the son of a Baltic German jeweler and his Danish wife. Following his father’s trade, in 1864, he embarked a Grand Tour of Europe, studying his craft in museums around the world.

Twelve years later he returned to St. Petersburg, married and

The Empress Alexandra, for whom many Faberge eggs were created

studied under Hiskias Pend, his father’s key artisan. In 1882, he took over the company, developing a team of artist-jewelers who created exquisite works. The first Fabergé egg, crafted for Tsar Alexander III, was a gift to his wife, the Empress Maria Fedorovna, at Easter in 1885.

Known as the Hen Egg, it is crafted from gold with an opaque white enameled “shell” that opens to reveal a matte yellow gold yolk.

Inside, the gold beak con-

tained a small ruby pendant suspended from a minute diamond replica of the Imperial Crown. That year, the Tsar gave the House of Fabergé the title; ‘Goldsmith by special appointment to the Imperial Crown.’

One of the most impressive eggs celebrated the coronation of Nicholas II in 1897.

The motif for the fiveinch masterpiece, inspired by the coronation robes, was stitched from gold cloth embroidered with a double-headed eagle. The egg opens to reveal a replica of the czarina’s coronation coach, modeled in enamel with gold mounts with a miniature rose diamond version of the imperial crown.

Faberge’s clientele included the hierarchy of Europe, Asia and America from 1870 until shortly after the Russian Revolution. In 1918 the Bolsheviks nationalized.

The House of Fabergé and confiscated their stock. He and most of his family fled to Germany and eventually Switzerland, where he died two years later, His work remains as a glorious tribute to both his craft and the Easter celebration.

RAV4 is an all-around winner Bright lights and cool cars

BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST The RAV4 hybrid recorded 39 mpg for me this week, that beats the factory rating of 32 mpg. Stayed away from the “Sport” mode and used the “Eco” selection that has plenty of power from the 194 hp with the hybrid synergy drive system.

It’s been very windy, and driving on E470 to the airport and around to I-25 with high wind-gusts the all-wheel-drive had very little wind sway and held tight to the road. Power to spare and a surprise boost in acceleration when pushing the Sport mode.

The 2.5L four-cylinder engine really is efficient and the transmission is a Toyota engineering masterpiece found in most of their line of cars.

I still like the older RAV4s with the chrome wrapped spare tire mounted on the trunk. Designers would do well to go back to this distinctive design. The exterior is an “electric storm blue” and the interior is a brown leather-type upholstery with a sharp looking appearance.

Safety features galore with the TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) package. Equipped with a precollision system with pedestrian detection, it is quite likely that this system would have spotted the pedestrian with the

bicycle walking in front of the test auto-drive car killed in Arizona and stopped before striking her.

The safety package comes as standard equipment and the list includes lane departure

warnings, and dynamic radar controls. Add SST (smart stop technology) that prevents striking a forward object.

A blind spot monitor for the rear-view mirrors and rearcross-traffic alert for those grocery store pedestrians walking behind cars.

The second-row seats recline and fold flat for additional luggage or sporting equipment. The rear deck has a power-lift and close-control on the key and button for the lift that is very convenient.

The radio offers AM, FM and XM channels that is very easy to operate with simple dial controls, much appreciated to be able to tune and dial volume without having to deal with computer knobs.

This is such a smart car with all-wheel drive, smooth economical engine and versatile transmission. The

manufacturers suggested list price is $32,185 and this test vehicle had some optional features that included an advanced technology package of parking sonar, birds-eye view camera with perimeter scan, JBL sound with 11 speakers and a woofer, hands-free phone and the latest navigation system. The long list of features could add several thousand dollars to the RAV4 price.

The RAV4 hybrid starts without a sound and operates on battery power for the first few minutes of the drive like backing out of the garage.

Hybrid technology has come a long way and this vehicle is simple to drive and understand and boosts the economy to high levels. Hybrids cost more, but they save more in fuel economy.

This vehicle offers every safety feature, excellent fuel economy, a spirited performance and all-weather driving capacity.

Toyota just announced a new 2019 Corolla hatchback model at the New York Auto Show equipped with the latest technology and many of these RAV4 features.

This RAV4 was a pleasure to drive and perfect for work or play.

at Denver Auto Show younger than 6 are admitted without

BY BUD WELLS AUTOMOTIVE CONTRIBUTOR

The bright lights of the Colorado Convention Center will put the shine on more than 500 new cars and trucks as the 2018 Denver Auto Show opens its annual five-day run Wednesday and continues through Sunday, April 8.

Preceding the Wednesday opening will be the Preview Gala from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday at the convention center, highlighted by presentation of Car/Truck/Crossover of the Year awards by the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press.

Hours for the auto show are 5 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, April 4; noon to 10 p.m. on Thursday, April 5; noon to 10 p.m. on Friday, April 6; 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 7; and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 8.

An all-new Infiniti QX50 luxury compact SUV will be among a dozen or so 2019 models at the show. It features a 268-horsepower, variable-compression four-cylinder engine, a roomy interior with high-quality materials, lots of cargo space and an available 17-speaker Bose audio system.

The tremendously powerful 2019 Corvette ZR1 will be spotlighted in the Chevrolet display, near the entrance to the show, and another ’19 model will be the new Ram, which has grown by 4 inches and trimmed down by a couple of hundred pounds. Subaru’s largest-ever SUV, the ’19 Ascent, will be shown.

Admission is $13 for adults, $6 for children 6 through 12 and those

charge. On opening day, Military Day, active and retired military personnel with appropriate military ID will be admitted free. Senior Day is Thursday, April 5, when admission charge for those 65 and older will be $6.

Denver’s is the largest car show between Chicago and Los Angeles. Tim Jackson, president of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association, has been instrumental in guiding the local auto show to national prominence. Anthony Brownlee, president and general manager of Land Rover Denver, is automotive show chairman for the CADA. The producer is the Paragon Group of Needham, Mass.

Denver set up its first show in 1902, resumed the attraction in 1905 and by 1908 moved it to Mammoth Skating Rink at Colfax Avenue and Clarkson Street, and the large floor space was filled with 107 automobiles. Showgoers viewed power choices, weighing the internal combustion engine against electric autos and steam-powered models.

Thomas D. Braden, representing the Denver Automobile Dealers Association, oversaw production of auto shows on somewhat of a sporadic basis for 40 years until 1961.

Denver shows have been conducted annually since the spring of 1978, when Bill Barrow, then head of the Denver and Colorado auto dealers associations; Denver dealer Hugh Tighe Jr. and Bruce Kenyon of the George P. Johnson Company in Detroit, planned a big show for Currigan Hall.

“Power Week” at CCHS raises funds for Gabby Krause Foundation Bags of Fun is sole recipient

BY SCOTTIE TAYLOR IVERSON CONTRIBUTOR

For the second year in a row, Cherry Creek High School (CCHS) has raised funds during its “Power Week” that have gone exclusively to Bags of Fun supporting the Gabby Krause Foundation. The daily and nightly events, run

by Cherry Creek High School’s Student Senate, were varied including Bucket Ball, Brain Bowl, Mr. Creek, and a talent show. The week culminated with a pep assembly and check presentation of $25,000. Community support came from Rojo’s Hotpot, Slices Pizza and Glacier Ice Cream.

The Bags of Fun winners were 23-year-old Molly

Nash, who graduated from Cherry Creek High School and 13-year-old Marcus Dallas. Molly has a bone marrow disease - Fanconi Anemia (FA) and loves theater, dance and riding horses. Marcus was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and has rotation plasty. He loves RC cars, music and video games.

Gabby Krause was an ex-

traordinary 6-year-old who died in September 2004 after a courageous 19-month battle with brain cancer. Gabby, who sang and danced her way through chemotherapy, loved purple, swimming finding the silly in everything and slurpees. In her spirit – Bags of Fun was started. Her original Bag of Fun kept her busy and happy during the long hospital

visits and it was her wish that every child could have his or her own Bag of Fun. The journey and Gabby’s wish has been perpetuated by instigating the power of play and happiness instead of painful thoughts of illness and dying in the hearts and minds of families. The program brings joy and touches the lives of many children across Colorado.

Indian Law 101 by Troy Eid presented to Cherry Creek Republican Women

BY SCOTTIE TAYLOR IVERSON CONTRIBUTOR

In a climate of competition with dozens of politicians vying for elected offices, Cherry Creek Republican Women (CCRW) chose Troy A. Eid, a principal shareholder in one of the world’s largest law firms as featured speaker educating the audience about America’s native people. It was a fascinating and enlightening meeting.

The heavily credentialed attorney grew up in Colorado, graduated from Wheat Ridge High School, Stanford University and University of Chicago Law School. The former United States Attorney for the District of Colorado from 2006-2009 was appointed by President George W. Bush.

Troy’s late father, Edward Eid, immigrated to America from Egypt in 1957 with $100 to his name. Troy was the first Arab-American to ever serve as a U.S. Attorney.

He is in private practice with the Denver office of Greenberg Traurig, LLP where he founded and cochairs the national Indian Law and Order Commission, a nine-member panel charged by the president and congress to recommend improvement in Indian Country Criminal Justice. In addition to several other boards, he serves on the Navaho Nation Judicial Conduct Commission which

advises the Navaho Supreme Court on judicial selection, ethics and performance for the country’s largest tribal court system. Troy prepared a handout titled The Fourth Sovereign: Indian Tribes in the Federal Constitution System which outlines Indian Law 101. There are 573 federally recognized tribes in the U.S. “There are now six additional recognized Indian tribes because of President Trump,” he

said. “Indian tribes predated the Constitution.” Tribes’ rights to self-government and land predate also. The U.S. Constitution recognizes four sovereigns –federal, state, foreign and tribal. Indian tribes are political and legal entities to which the federal government owes a trust of responsibility as a direct result of tribes’ land cessions. “The Navajo Nation is growing,” he said. “People are moving

back.” The tribe bought two huge ranches totaling 36,000 acres near Westcliffe.” Two federally recognized Ute tribes in Colorado offer quite a contrast. The Southern Utes enjoy a wealth of oil and gas producing wells while the Ute Mountain Reservation southwest of Cortez has median income of $6,600 per household.

Troy Eid has been honored by the U.S. Senate Committee

on Indian Affairs, the FBI, the U.S. Secret Service, the National Congress of American Indians and the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. His wife, Allison Eid, previously served on the Colorado Supreme Court and taught Sen. Cory Gardner when she was a professor. She is a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit replacing Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch.

Gardner, Bennet announce $29 million in conservation funding

Senators Cory Gardner and Michael Bennet announced the Department of Interior is distributing $29 million to “support critical state conservation and outdoor recreation projects.”

According to the Department of Interior, “The funds, which are distributed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, support critical state conservation and outdoor recreation projects. They are derived

from excise taxes paid by the hunting, shooting, boating and angling industries on firearms, bows and ammunition and sport fishing tackle, some boat engines and small engine fuel.”

“This is great news for every Coloradan who enjoys our state’s beautiful public lands,” said Gardner. “Colorado has some of the best outdoor destinations in the world and it is critically important we

preserve these national treasures for future generations. This funding will now be returned to the state and utilized for conservation projects around Colorado.”

“This funding is critical to wildlife conservation and will give Colorado Parks and Wildlife the resources it needs to expand outdoor recreation opportunities for Coloradans across our state,” said Bennet.
