By Peter Jones oseph Kagan was not one to take no for an answer.

When the Jewish man talked, even Nazi guards would listen.

“One of the reasons he survived was he was an operator,” his son Daniel said. “He was cruel, but very loving. He was a very powerful personality.”

On Oct. 28, 1941, Joseph and the 20,000 other Lithuanian Jews who had been forced into the Kaunas Jewish ghetto were ordered to assemble in Democracy Square.

The elderly and infirm inmates were pushed to the right. Those who were younger and able to work were told to go left.

Sensing the worst, quickthinking Joseph put on the charm.

“My father spoke German very, very well in a highly educated sort of accent, and the German guard was very surprised,” Daniel recounted. “My father said, ‘She doesn’t look as strong as she really is. But she can do this, she can do that.’ After a few seconds, the guard said, ‘OK.’ That’s how my grandmother’s life was saved.”

Joseph would use his skillful wherewithal to outthink his Nazi captors at every step, surviving other “actions” designed to thin out the population, and eventually talking a slave-labor foreman into abetting his methodical escape plan.

State Rep. Daniel Kagan, a Cherry Hills Village Democrat, recently told the story for the 32nd annual Governor’s Holocaust Remembrance Program and later

spoke with The Villager.

April is Holocaust Awareness Month.

Although Lithuania had been a Jewish safe haven for centuries, the peace abruptly ended in 1940 when Joseph Stalin’s Soviet armies occupied the nation, ending a rare decade of Lithuanian independence. Many in the Catholic-dominated Baltic nation had seen fit to blame Jews for the rise of communism.

When the Nazis invaded the country a year later, their arrival was welcomed by some Lithu-

anians as relief from Stalinist oppression. As the Germans seized control, the Nazis took advantage of that anti-Jewish sentiment by encouraging unofficial “partisan” groups to persecute Jews.

“This was a concocted plan,” Daniel Kagan explained. “First, get the locals to do your dirty work and after you’ve stoked up anti-Jewish feeling in the area, offer the Jews a safe haven in the ghetto and the Jews will flock voluntarily.”

Although 27-year-old Joseph Kagan had flocked like the rest, the brash young man was not about to let Nazi occupation cramp his lifestyle. Armed with a record player

from an original pool of 45 applicants.

Stephens began his career with Denver in 1991. He had most recently been commander of the city’s gang bureau. His other assignments included commander posts with the Pattern Crimes Bureau and the city’s northwest police district.

More than 40 people participated in the interview process to fill the vacancy created by Coogan’s retirement. Those participants included a 12-member citizens panel and a committee of 11 people representing every sector of the Littleton Police Department’s staffing.

In a statement, City Manager Michael Penny made a point of thanking all of the candidates.

“This was an impressive group of law enforcement professionals, but Doug Stephens was the unanimous choice of each of the four interview panels,” Penny said.

Stephens, who also earned the endorsement of the Littleton Police Officers Association, fit the bill in a number of ways, according to Penny, who made the final hiring decision. “[Stephens] understands that I am looking for a human-focused leader who knows law enforcement and has the skills to meet the community’s needs,” the city manager said. “I want Doug to move the department forward by bringing everyone together as a cohesive unit.”

Denver cop hired as Littleton chief Stephens was unanimous choice of interview panels

By Peter Jones A Denver Police captain has been tapped to lead the Littleton Police Department.

After an extensive search, the city has announced that Douglas Stephens will replace Chief Heather Coogan, who retired earlier this month.

Stephens is expected to begin work in early May at an annual salary of $130,000.

“I am excited at the opportunity to lead this exemplary group of professionals. I can’t wait to get started,” Stephens said in a statement.

The Denver Police captain had been among five finalists culled

gree in Administration of Justice/ Psychology from the University of Wyoming. He has also earned a master’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Colorado.

He is a graduate of the FBI’s National Academy.

In January, Coogan, 58, the first woman to take the reins of a Denver metro police department, announced her retirement effective April 1.

Division Cmdr. Gene Enley will continue serving as interim chief until Stephens is sworn in.

All five finalists were veterans of Colorado police departments. The others were Aurora police Cmdrs. Frances Gomez and Rob McGregor; Richard Myers, a former chief with the Colorado Springs Police Department; and Robert Ticer, chief for the Avon Police Department

“Done,” Joseph replied.

Hatching a plan

As new romance blossomed in the ghetto, things were getting worse for the Jews. When the call came that the Nazis were looking for 500 well-trained Jews for cushy office jobs, Joseph became suspicious.

“Those people were taken away and shot,” Joseph’s son, Daniel, explained. “That was the Germans’ way of getting rid of the most highly educated people who might be the core of a rebellion. It was diabolically clever.”

After his mother narrowly escaped execution, Joseph began

hatching a plot to escape – or at least temporarily avoid certain death.

His plan finally came to fruition in 1943 while the dismal civilianoperated ghetto was being reconfigured as a Gestapo-run concentration camp.

Joseph’s plan took shape about a mile from the ghetto walls at the iron factory where he was being transported for daily work. The final straw came when Joseph witnessed a particularly brutal beating of a factory worker.

“My father did notice that the foreman saw this beating and winced like he was pretty upset about the way this Jewish inmate was treated,” Daniel said. “He made a split-second decision, ‘OK, this is the guy I’m going to trust.’”

That foreman, Vytautas Rinkevicius, would secretly help Joseph build a false wall in the attic of the factory in hopes that Joseph, his

mother – and maybe even Margaret – could stay there until the end of the war, if she accepted his proposal.

“Marry me, go into hiding with me and survive – or don’t marry me, stay in the ghetto and get murdered by the Nazis,” Joseph proposed.

“Which would you rather do?”

It was not necessarily an easy decision for Margaret.

“It took her a long time to decide which fate was worse,” Daniel said. “My father always said, ‘Your mom never knew whether she made the right decision.’”

A box to hide in

With the help of Rinkevicius, the Kagans moved into their new home, a 6-foot-by-6-foot hiding place. If that were not small enough, the closet included a still tinier box where all three would lie down during the day, unable to move or talk.

By night, the family left the smaller box – and sometimes even the building to get water from an outdoor tap, taking hours to crawl backwards on all fours, covering their tracks to evade a night watchman, often abandoning the mission midway.

Rinkevicius would sometimes arrive, using a secret knock. He would bring food – and news, often the bad kind.

One day, the factory’s bookkeeper, the only other person to know of the hiding place, disappeared. As it happened, the bookkeeper had been caught harboring a Jewish boy who was soon killed by the Nazis. The Kagans took their chances and decided to stay put at the urging of Rinkevicius.

Plans changed in 1944. As the Allies were closing in, word came that the Germans planned to destroy the factory and everything in it. It was time for the Kagans to make their exit and somehow eke out survival until the end of the war.

As it happened, Margaret’s mother had committed suicide after being moved to a second concentration camp, but Margaret’s younger brother Alec had been smuggled out of the ghetto to live with a nearby Lithuanian family.

By amazing kismet and course of events, it was eventually arranged for Alec to play a part in the Kagans’ final escape from the doomed factory.

“It was agreed my uncle would come to a ridge that was visible through a peephole,” Daniel said.

“If he came with a goat, they knew it was time to leave.”

Margaret Strom had to think twice before escaping the ghettos to join her future husband in a hiding place in a factory attic. representative said the family story was a large part of his own inspiration for fostering change as an elected official.

“All I heard during my youth was how politics affects not only how well off you are, but whether you live or die,” he said. “The political winds can chill you to death.

My father and mother survived because they made the right decisions to accommodate the political times.

The freedoms that we have are very fragile.”

My father talked about it all the time.

It was his way of dealing with it. He was very keen on what these noble people had done, risking their lives for people they didn’t really know.

-- State Rep. Daniel Kagan

Tearful reunions

The Kagans – without Alec, who would stay in Lithuania and Joseph’s mother, who immigrated to Israel – eventually made it to England, where the couple raised a family and ventured to put their

lives back together.

“They had to come to terms with the fact that both sides of their families had been wiped out. It was a traumatic time,” Daniel said.

In 1965 under threat of possibly never coming back to England, Margaret visited Lithuania, which the Soviets had since retaken, to see her brother and Rinkevicius, the man who had saved her life two decades earlier.

“It was a highly emotional experience,” Daniel said.

Joseph would reconnect with Rinkevicius years later.

All three lived to a ripe old age.

Margaret was the last to die in 2011.

Daniel says, unlike many Holocaust survivors, his father – and eventually his mother – were willing to discuss their incredible experiences.

“My father talked about it all the time,” he said. “It was his way of dealing with it. He was very keen on what these noble people had done, risking their lives for people they didn’t really know.”

Hope running toward tragedy Cherry Creek High School grad witnesses both Boston Marathon explosions while running race

By Jan Wondra

W

hen Centennial resident Jenna Randolph decided to run the Boston Marathon, she had a decidedly different ending in mind than the horrific tragedy that it became. On April 15, Patriot’s Day in Boston, she had just passed the 26th mile marker, in the final few blocks of the event, when the bombs went off.

“I saw both explosions,” she said. “When the first one went off, my friend running near me thought it was some celebration of a runner crossing the finish line. Right away, I thought...’it’s a bomb.’ I started to pivot, and just then the second one went off right in front of me and I turned to run back in the direction I had come.”

The 18-year-old freshman at Boston College, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. David Randolph of Centennial, had good reason to pivot.

She was running in the far left lane area, directly toward the second bomb explosion on the left side of the street. She described the change from her joyous glimpse of the finish line, into utter chaos.

“People were cheering, then the ground shook and we saw the smoke. Then the second explosion and it shook again. There was so much smoke, and screams, and noise. People were running everywhere. I was crying and so were people around me,” Randolph said.

When she arrived on campus last August, Randolph had immediately associated with a community of people at Boston College who liked to run as much as she does. Running comes naturally to the petite, athletic Randolph. The 2012 graduate of Cherry Creek High School is a former member of the Cherry Creek Varsity Track and Cross Country team, although she had to overcome back surgery in high school to pursue it. When the bombs exploded, she was running the event with a few classmates at Boston College.

“We passed the Boston College signs at Mile Marker 21,” she said.

“A couple friends who didn’t run the whole course joined me there to stay with me to the finish.”

Randolph says she is still shaken by the experience of being on the same street when it happened.

“At the end of the course, you have to turn right, then left, onto the ending block. The people behind us didn’t see it, so most runners behind us didn’t know what was going on. When we began to run back toward them, it was crazy,” she said.

The 26th mile marker was special for another reason on Monday.

It was the spot where a memorial banner stood, honoring the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary school massacre, only weeks before Christmas last December.

Runners passing that banner, marked 1-mile run for each one of the 26 children and staff who died in their school building. It honored their memory and served as a promise to all that we cannot let violence win.

At 26 miles, marathon runners are exhausted, in need of water, of-

Jenna Randolph finally received her Boston Marathon Medal on April 18. She had just passed Mile Marker 26 when the explosions occurred in front of her.

ten near disorientation, aware that they have done something extraordinary. At this exact point where they are at their weakest, where the

crowds were greatest, where only the cheering was pulling them on to the finish line, at this point, for Randolph and hundreds of other

runners, terror visited.

“We were so exhausted and scared at that point,” she explained. “I tried to call my mom to tell her I was OK, but for a long time the phones wouldn’t work.

And we had no way out other than to walk. So we walked, wrapped in space blankets from the race tents.

After a mile or two of walking, we met a couple more Boston College people. My legs were so tired, and we were all stiffening up. My initial thought was ‘what now?’ But people helped us. A lady invited us to sit down in her courtyard... brought something to drink, food, blankets...she was wonderful.”

The Boston Marathon is one of the nation’s oldest events, having begun in 1897, quickly gaining international attention. The 26-mile course begins in the city’s suburban edges in Hopkinton, and moves inward, through Wellseley and Newton, down Beacon Street, to Boylston ending just before Copley Square. The day is one of the city’s most carefree and joyful; a jubilant celebration of life and a symbol of an active lifestyle that embraces human effort and athletic endurance. Runners from around the globe train long and hard for the event; the last mile of which is a grueling climb up what has come to be called “Heartbreak Hill.”

Now, in more ways than the grade, the end of the Boston Marathon will be remembered for another kind of heartbreak.

“What has surprised me the most is how strong Boston is,” said Randolph. “Everyone has come together. This morning (April 18) a few of us went into the city to get our medals. Boston has set up pick up points for the runners. I wanted that medal. I earned that medal.”

With the ensuing drama over the bombing suspects, the manhunt for the two suspects, and the unprecedented lock-down of the city, Boston is standing strong.

Randolph’s Facebook page offers the only thoughts she has written so far about her experience: “Thank you so much to everyone who was thinking of me and others affected by the tragedy in Boston today. I am so thankful to be OK and for each and every person in my life. Please pray for Boston.”

Taylor Cedillo

Littleton woman arrested in Kansas on pot charges

By Peter Jones In another sign of potential fallout from last year’s passage of Amendment 64, a Littleton woman has been arrested in Salina, Kan., after police found nearly four pounds of marijuana in her car.

Taylor Cedillo, 19, was pulled over on April 3 for speeding in a school zone. After police noted what they described as an overpowering smell, they searched Cedillo’s car and found numerous containers of marijuana and $3,200 in cash.

Cedilla is a reportedly a former Salina resident and a registered Colorado medical-marijuana patient who had moved to Littleton last year to take a job at a medical-marijuana dispensary.

She was booked into the Saline county jail on charges of drug possession with the intent to distribute within 1,000 feet of a school.

The street value was estimated at approximately $10,000.

The Colorado Constitution allows physician-approved patients to possess up to two ounces, though they are not permitted to leave the state with marijuana.

Transportation of marijuana across state lines is expected to increase as the provisions of Amendment 64 are implemented. According to Salina Police Lt. Jim Norton, there has been a substantial increase in marijuana coming into town since the recreational-marijuana initiative was approved by Colorado voters.

The 2012 Colorado constitutional amendment allows the limited recreational use of marijuana and will eventually permit licensed retail establishments to sell it.

All marijuana use and possession of marijuana remain illegal under federal law.

What a week for law enforcement officers, all of them. A salute to our police officers, FBI, CIA, sheriff officers, all of the men and women who work so hard to keep us safe in America.

Residents fear land grab of unincorporated ‘islands’

By Peter Jones The city of Centennial has gotten a little bit larger, but has not added any new residents – at least, not yet.

In the face of heated protests from homeowners in unincorporated Arapahoe County, City Council has approved a controversial annexation of nearly 60 acres of open space. On April 15, the council voted 6-2 to bring Piney Creek Hollow Park and four other parcels into the city. The action opens the door to more possible annexations and more complaints from angry neighbors.

Last week’s annexation was initiated by a petition submitted to the city by the Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority, Arapahoe Park and Recreation District and East Cherry Creek Valley Water and Sanitation District, the governmental organizations that own the individual open-space parcels.

It is not the municipal designation of the nearby parks and open space that has raised the ire of residents in the Tuscany and Siena subdivisions. Rather, it is that the annexations have effectively turned their neighborhoods into unincorporated islands. By state law, a city can annex such enclaves surrounded by its borders after three years without the approval of the neighborhood’s residents.

After 90 minutes of protests from Tuscany and Siena homeowners, Mayor Cathy Noon said the complaints would have little bearing on her vote on the matter.

“I’ve not heard from a single Centennial resident or business that I should vote ‘no’ on this. That’s fairly compelling,” Noon told the

crowded room of unincorporated homeowners. “I don’t think [city residents] would want me to put other people’s interests – nonresidents – above theirs.”

A minority of opponents on the council disagreed, questioning what the benefits of the open-space annexations would be for Centennial or its 100,000 citizens. They said absorbing the five parcels would simply open the door to taking nearby neighborhoods at a later date.

“I’m looking at whether it’s responsible for me to play a role in starting that two-step,” District 3 Councilwoman Rebecca McClellan said. “Maybe it’s a benefit for [the three governmental districts], but they aren’t our constituents.”

McClellan echoed a city staff report that said the annexations would have no financial impact, positive or negative, on the city.

Joining McClellan in opposition was District 2’s Sue Bosier.

District 4 Councilman Ron Weidmann abstained from the vote.

Because neither the open-space areas nor the nearby residential neighborhoods contain businesses, no annexations into the area would generate city sales tax, but some City Council members have hinted that residents of the neighboring areas should pay their fair share of franchise fees and property taxes for use of city streets.

It was an argument that fell flat among many Tuscany and Siena residents.

“People in Centennial go across the street and drive in Aurora,” Joel Alford said to the council. “That’s an argument for one big political entity, and that would mean Aurora would absorb Centennial.”

During the hour and a half of public comment, speakers likened the council to fascists and preRevolutionary War England, but

The [Centennial] State of our City Luncheon was April 11 at the Embassy Suites, where Centennial’s Mayor Cathy Noon presented a word cloud image, a grouping of words from small to large based on frequency of use, with the word Centennial largest and central in the cloud, denoting Centennial’s prominence as an exemplary city in Colorado. Congratulations Centennial! However, I noticed that the smallest words in the cloud image included “vote” and “candidate” and this concerned me.

It is extremely important for the citizens to be involved in the process of legislating their city’s municipal codes and laws that maintain the tranquility and economy of a city. Yes, it is a long and boring process for most and our lives are full enough with work, education, and the rearing of children, while trying to squeeze in some recreation and down time. But the best way to control ones destiny is to be involved in city government. And as a citizen, your vote is the best way you can make a direct difference in your life from taxes to turnpikes, education to energy, and wages to welfare.

There are nine people in Centennial who

have a great deal of impact over your livelihood and your serenity. And yet they make decisions on a daily basis that you have very little control over unless you make yourself aware of the city’s issues and have access to the council members. It is the responsibility of the citizens to make them selves heard and to expect their city officials to be available. Accountability is the only way to make sure that the city will continue to move in the direction of prosperity and sound financial investments.

Even if you do not have time to keep up on the issues, you can be instrumental in getting men and women of integrity into office that will champion your best interests and guard your hard earned taxes with fiscal responsibility. With the onset of social media like websites, Facebook, Twitter, email and LinkedIn, being an informed voter has never been easier.

Chances are you are on at least one of these resources during the day; please take the time to educate yourself and then vote.

Municipal elections are this fall. Be aware. Be vocal. Be involved. I am running for City Council in District 2. Let’s make “vote” and “candidate” standout in the cloud this November.

Theresa Martens Centennial

the comparison that hit closest to home was the one to the proposed annexations by Greenwood Village that led to Centennial’s 2001 incorporation.

“Let’s not forget what this city was founded on. Let’s not bulldoze.

Let’s not do anything that our people don’t want,” Tuscany resident Tim Corothers said.

If the two neighborhoods were eventually annexed into Centennial, the move would amount to a difference of about $5 a year in additional property taxes on a $500,000 home, according to city planner Andy Firestine.

The neighborhoods already receive law enforcement services from the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, but homeowners would effectively pay additionally for the same service as part of Centennial’s contract with the sheriff’s office.

Some Tuscany and Siena residents said if the city were to insist on the open-space annexations, it should have as matter of good faith left alone the parcel associated with The Farm. That would have avoided turning the two subdivisions into unincorporated islands.

Most of the current council will be term-limited out of office by the time any future council would be able to consider annexation of the two neighborhoods. Noon and some of her colleagues who supported last week’s action said they would not have voted to annex Tuscany or Siena without residential consent.

Resident John Gay had a warning if the voter-elected council tried.

“The average home has 3.2 people in it,” he said. “That’s approximately 5,000 people. Three thousand of them are going to vote.”

Do you want big government or freedom?

Democrats market themselves as the only ones who care. But their legislative agenda, both federal and here in Colorado, reveals that Democrats care only about Leftist ideology and government expansion.

Though Americans need jobs and freedom, gun control and other “social issues” consumed the Democrat-controlled legislatures.

Meanwhile, Republicans sought to heal the economy and preserve our Constitutional rights. Republicans recognize that the government does not create prosperity, nor promote liberty.

Businesses – large corporations through small family-owned enterprises – provide jobs. Freed from undue regulation and excessive government-ordered paperwork, inventors, investors and entrepreneurs stimulate the economy. Reducing taxes enables businesses to flourish and individuals to purchase the products and services they choose.

Personal freedom and economic freedom are intricately interwoven. Government overreach endangers both. The Democrats clearly demonstrate that they care more about imposing their Statist political agenda than they care about us.

‘The Nest’ will come to rest in Greenwood Village

By Jan Wondra

W

estlands Park in Greenwood Village will be the new site for an artwork loan called The Nest from the Museum of Outdoor Arts. The loan agreement was approved at the April 15 City Council meeting. The public art will be located at the lower pond fishing dock adjacent to the bench area. It will be on loan for two years from May 1, 2013 to May 1, 2015, and the Village will have the option to extend the loan another two years.

The motion was not without council discussion regarding approving a public art loan that is contingent upon its placement in a specific location, removing that decision from Greenwood Village Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee or from the City Council itself.

“The museum is dictating where public art is displayed in our city,” said Councilman TJ Gordon.

“Shouldn’t we designate some zones where we want to see public art? They weren’t open to any place

but Westlands. If we don’t approve the location, they threatened to put it in another city.”

The Nest is a sculpture designed

by Eric C. Johnson that currently stands at the Republic Plaza, on 17th Street at Tremont Street in downtown Denver. More than 15 feet high, it is made of steel and powder-coated sheet metal. MOA commissioned the artist to create the $60,000 sculpture and owns the piece.

According to Tim Vacca of MOA, the site at Westlands was selected to promote Westlands Park as a destination containing more than one piece of artwork on display from MOA’s collection. MOA is limiting new installations to existing and established MOA sites since much of its public art collection is already widespread. MOA considers Westlands Park an existing site since its Dolphins and Disco Emergente are in or near the park.

“Yes, we ought to have art in more than one park,” said Mayor Pro Tem Gary Kramer, who was running the City Council session that evening in the absence of Mayor Rakowsky.

“But they own this particular piece of art, so they can put it where they want it. The city can select locations for other art on our own.”

The specific site for The Nest was selected because of its ideal location along the trail. It is highly visible, but the location just off the trail provides protection from snow removal equipment and it does not interfere with park maintenance operations. The site’s proximity to the pond walkway and benches makes it accessible to visitors and visible to cars.

The location recommendation was strongly endorsed by Greenwood Village Parks, Trails and Recreation Commission. It meets all five criteria for public art within the Village. According to the Artwork Loan Agreement, MOA will pay for installation, insurance and annual maintenance for the sculpture at no cost to the Village.

The MOA is a nonprofit museum and gallery founded in 1981 by John W. Madden, Jr. and his daughter, Cynthia Madden Leitner. It is based at 1000 Englewood Parkway in Englewood.

Arapahoe County sending notices of valuation Mailing signal tax values for 2014 and 2015 Beginning this week through May 1, notices of valuation will be mailed to hundreds of thousands of metro area property owners, including many in Arapahoe County, as part of the 2013 reappraisal.

Colorado law requires property values for tax purposes to be completely updated every two years.

Assessors in all counties statewide have been reappraising properties on this biennial cycle since 1987.

The notices coming in the mail are not tax bills, but the values and classifications they list will be used to calculate property taxes payable in 2014 and 2015.

It is very important to note that all the new values in every county are the result of a statutory 18-to24-month data-gathering period that captured market prices as they existed on June 30, 2012. While today’s market conditions may be different, sales after June 30, 2012 cannot be considered for the 2013 reappraisal value, but will be reviewed for the next update in 2015.

Owners who agree with their newly assigned values need do nothing. However, anyone who disagrees has the option of filing a protest.

Included with each notice of valuation is a form that may be mailed or faxed to the Assessor’s Office. Complete instructions are included with the notice.

Higher and lower values from one neighborhood to the next and between different property types were found in all counties. During the latest review period, the values of many property types showed signs of recovery compared to the last full update in 2011.

Even so, not all areas are reflecting a positive increase for tax year 2013. Using sales prior to the June 30, 2012, appraisal date, Arapahoe County experienced a wide range of residential valuation changes.

In general, the tax-year 2013 residential valuation is healthier than 2011, where we saw an overall decrease of 4.8 percent.

The largest reductions in residential values occurred in central to north Aurora with continued weakness

in Englewood, Sheridan and part of Littleton. Centennial and Greenwood Village had the strongest residential increase in value.

The apartment market remains strong with vacancies trending downward and rents rising. Overall, apartment/multi-family properties are seeing a substantial increase from the last revaluation.

The commercial real-estate market continues to improve. With a decrease in vacancy and a slight increase in rents, the county is seeing an improved commercial-sales volume, resulting in an increase of value.

The eastern part of Arapahoe County has more than 300,000 acres of agricultural property. Results are indicating an increase in value due to the boost in commodity prices.

Higher expenses offset some of the increase, but the net result is still positive.

Contrary to the last several years, the county is experiencing an increase in land subdivisions.

Construction activity is once again on the rise. Overall, the county will see a flat to slight increases in value.

Araphoe Library District promotes early reading Submitted by Arapahoe Library District The Arapahoe Library District is promoting early reading by providing a free new book to its 4-year-old patrons as part of the statewide One Book 4 Colorado.

One Book 4 Colorado is a statewide initiative aiming to support family reading at home and instill a love of learning in Colorado youngsters. Families of 4-year-olds can stop by any of the district’s libraries May 6-20 to pick up a copy of the book in either English or Spanish while supplies last.

One Book 4 Colorado is the result of collaboration between Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia’s office, Serve Colorado, Reach Out and Read Colorado, Colorado State Library, Denver Preschool Program, public libraries, the private sector, and the foundation community. It is modeled after the successful Preschool One Book One Denver program originated by the Denver Preschool Program.

Both programs are premised on the idea that providing young children with access to quality books promotes early literacy and helps families serve as their children’s first and most important teachers.

To ensure school readiness, it is critical that 4-year-olds have frequent and routine access to books and that they are read to consistently. The vocabulary level of preschoolers is predictive of their third-grade reading proficiency.

For low-income families, access to quality books and early literacy efforts are doubly important as research shows that low-income children have few to no books in their homes and are exposed to 30 million fewer words before the age of 4 than their higher-income peers.

As just one part of Colorado Reads – The Early Literacy Initiative, One Book 4 Colorado aims to close this vocabulary gap by getting a book into the home of every 4-year-old in Colorado and fostering a culture of reading.

The B.I.G. Day – Community tradition continues

I

t was a day of giving and gratitude, sweat equity and camaraderie, dirty hands and warm smiles as the third annual B.I.G. Day (B.I.G. stands for Be Involved, Give) proved that community spirit is alive and very well in south metro Denver. The chamber’s Nonprofit and Business Partnership lead by Steve Bocher of Catch Fire Marketing as chair, and Laurian Horowitz of Colorado Life Lessons as event chair continued the community tradition. Although the turnout was smaller than last year’s record-breaking event, the almost 337 volunteers were very motivated with some nonprofits having to create additional projects as the planned ones were accomplished in record time.

Activities ran the gamut from planting vegetables at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield, to building storage racks and organizing at SheShe’s Corner and planting trees and weeding at the Denver Botanic Gardens community garden. Medical supplies were sorted at Project C.U.R.E. for shipment to Third World hospitals, and food boxes were packed at the Jeffco Action Center.

Thomas Messina of Mountaintop Acupuncture enjoyed getting dirty at Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield.

“It was great getting into the dirt to plant onions, I would work in the garden on a regular basis. It’s good to help the community. I want to

The Audubon Society of Greater Denver got trails cleaned up and readied for the summer months, and volunteers accomplished spring cleaning at Boys Hope Girls Hope.

Alternatives Pregnancy Center got their offices ship-shape in record time, and TLC Meals on Wheels of Littleton got must needed help with the preparation and delivery of meals to their elderly clients. South Suburban Parks and Recreation got a sprucing up through the South Suburban Parks & Recreation Foundation volunteers while “spa boxes” were assembled for cancer patients at Spa 4 the Pink.

“I’m a firm believer in giving to the community and whatever we give always seems to come back ten-fold. It also just plain feels good.

Wonderful program! Great people.

Thanks for facilitating and coordinating such an incredible event.

Kudos to Lauren, the committee and all the sponsors,” stated Heidi Winter of European Wax Center, who helped out at SheShe’s Corner.

Many businesses and organizations came together and organized teams and groups of volunteers for the B.I.G. Day activities. CliftonLarsonAllen, InfoCubic, Webolutions, Silpada Designs, Leadapalooza Leads Group, The Leading Edge, Rotary Club of Littleton Sunrise, Catch Fire Marketing, Dream Catcher Affinity Group, American

Heritage Girls, Sierra Ridge Networks, and NAMI Arapahoe/Douglas County all came out in force to make the day a success.

Brien Darby, manager of the Denver Botanic Gardens community gardening program, was thrilled with the experience.

“I presented them with some very big tasks with a lot of digging and heavy lifting and they were just about the most enthusiastic group I have ever worked with. We completed all the tasks I had planned and even started on a few additional projects. I really appreciate the level of teamwork and “ready for anything” attitude that we consistently receive from volunteers participating in the BIG help day,” Darby said.

After all of the hard work, it was time to blow off some steam as many of the volunteers gathered at the Chamber Center to celebrate the day. With a delicious lunch buffet served by event sponsor McCormick & Schmick’s, the group watched as Brian Olson of Conversation Starters had a video already prepared showing the day’s activities. The crowd gave a cheer of support for the B.I.G. Day and many expressed that this was just a beginning with many more hours of volunteer efforts were to come. Chamber Investor LokalMotion was also a sponsor of the event making it the best postB.I.G. Day celebration yet.

Arapahoe County sees increase in concealed handgun permits

By Tom Barry he demand for concealed carry permits are budding this spring in Arapahoe County. The actual process only takes about 20 minutes to file the application, be fingerprinted and to have a photo snapped. However, the wait times can vary from several minutes to several hours while waiting in the lobby of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office in Centennial.

One day last month, there were 36 applicants in line for concealed

carry permits that waited for hours.

As a rule of thumb, the wait is normally much shorter.

“Through March, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office received 1,442 new applications for concealed handgun permits,” said Capt. Al Holstein of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

“Since 2002, the Sheriff’s Office has issued over 11,700 concealed handgun permits,” said Holstein, who directs the Professional Standards Bureau. “…We do not track how many permittees reside in or outside of Arapahoe County,” referring to address changes that are supposed to be reported based upon a state legal statute.

The process of concealed carry permits starts and finishes with the sheriff’s offices in Colorado’s 63 counties. The applications are filed at the Sheriff’s Office and after they are processed by the CBI, permittees are required to pick up their permit at the same office.

Each county works in conjunction with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation headquartered in Lakewood. The CBI processes the applications and conducts the full background check searching through seven extensive databases.

“We have two staffers who have been assigned full time for quite some time, along with a sergeant that oversees the process,” said Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson. “We’ve added an additional of three people due to the volume that we have seen.”

When asked about Arapahoe County’s spike in applications for CHP’s, Robinson said, “I think the

concern for people’s ability to defend themselves and protect themselves. The increases we’ve seen are consistent with other agencies around us have seen as well.”

Holstein said, “The typical waiting period in Arapahoe County is 90 days.”

These handgun permits are good for a five-year period before having to be renewed.

“In 2012, the Sheriff’s Office issued, 1,799 new permits and 426 renewal permits,” said Holstein.

Robinson said, “It is very rare that anyone with a CHP is involved with any type of behavior that would cause me to reconsider their permit.”

In the period between 2003 and 2012, there were 267 applications

that were denied. So far this year, there have been four applications denied, after 12 were denied the previous year.

“The Sheriff’s Office relies on the factors set forth by statue for

rejecting an application,” Robinson said.

The county charges a nonrefundable payment of $100. The CBI review tacks on an additional $52.50 to the total with limited payment methods accepted.

“I don’t think we cover the full cost based on the statutory fee,” said Robinson referring to the cost of the sheriff’s department processing cost relating to CHP’s. These permits were previously called Concealed Weapons Permits and changed by statute language three years ago.

The processing office at the Sheriff’s Office is open each week from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday.

Applicants seeking a concealed carry permit must be older than 18 years of age. Permittees are required to provide a Colorado driver’s license or military ID, a current utility bill and an NRA training course certificate to be considered for the application process. A checklist is provided prior to the initial review.

Blue Star Police Supply offers a concealed weapons wallet badge.

“You do not need a badge for a concealed handgun permit,” said Steve Crain, the owner of Blue Star and former law enforcement officer.

“Ninety-five percent of people do not have them. We carry them for the small percentage of people who want them.”

Cherry Hills Village approves Emergency Operations Plan

By Jan Wondra Among the items unanimously approved at the April 16 Cherry Hills Village City Council meeting was a comprehensive new Emergency Operations plan. Such plans guide the actions of municipal governments during times of emergencies from natural disasters and epidemic outbreaks to terrorist attacks. The plan adopted by Cherry Hills Village now meets all requirements of the federal government and Arapahoe County.

The timing of the approval, coming in the midst of the terrorist attacks in Boston, added an element of attention to what might otherwise have been a routine vote. The city’s new plan was developed and finalized for Cherry Hills Village, with the assistance of Rose Lynch, an emergency management specialist from the Office of Emergency Management at the City of Englewood. The coordinated effort acknowledges

a key fact of governmental oversight during times of emergency; that governments at all levels, and in neighboring communities, are called upon to work cooperatively and cohesively, extending resources to protect citizens and maintain civil order.

“This plan assures that we have the resources we need, the process by which we will implement emergency response, and the order in which we request or escalate the need,” said Police Chief Michelle Tovrea.

In the case of last week’s events in Boston, the city relied upon the resources of the City of Boston, its neighboring suburbs, the county, the state and the federal government to address the crisis. The cities of Denver’s southern suburbs all support each other, and the South Metro Fire and Rescue Authority team coordinates resources across the entire geographical area.

The Cherry Hill’s new Emergency Operations Plan provides the framework for police departments, city governments and traffic routing, as well as relief and medical response coordination.

Proposed concept design of Westin Hotel at I-25 and Arapahoe at Village Center Station.

Rendering courtesy of City of Greenwood Village

Westin Hotel planned for Greenwood Village First 5-Star hotel in south Denver area Submitted by City of Greenwood Village The City of Greenwood Village has been selected by Greenwood Village Hotel, LLC, a developer group consisting of Waveland Ventures, Jackson Street holdings and Arrival Partners, as the exclusive location for a Westin Hotel franchise expected to begin construction in the fourth quarter of 2013 at the Arapahoe at Village Center Station.

“We are ecstatic that our city has been selected for construction of the first 5-Star hotel for the south Denver area,” said Mayor Ron Rakowsky.

“This luxury hotel chain will be the catalyst for continued development of our Village Center and will provide high quality services to the residents, businesses and large corporate presence we have in our Village and the region.”

The agreement

On April 15, the Greenwood Village City Council approved an agreement to sell 3.54 acres of property the Village owns at the Arapahoe at Village Center Station (on the east side of I-25) to the developer for construction of the hotel.

As part of the real estate purchase agreement, the sale of property will

be contingent upon the developer receiving the requisite approvals by Village officials and other agencies for the project and a building permit acquired prior to the closing of the deal.

“It was an agreement that will protect both the Village and the developer,” said City Manager Jim Sanderson. “Essentially, the developer will not have to buy the property unless they get all the approvals to build a hotel on the site, and the Village does not have to sell the land until the plans for the hotel are finalized and approved.”

Village staff is working with the developer on a development schedule to accommodate the developer’s goal to begin construction in the fall. In addition to an extensive review process by Village staff, neighborhood input meetings and an application review by the Village Planning and Zoning Commission will be scheduled over the next few months, with a public hearing on the project by the City Council tentatively scheduled for the fall of 2013. A formal application for the project is expected to be submitted by the developer in the second quarter of 2013.

The hotel

Preliminary plans for the hotel include 200 spacious guestrooms

and suites; a signature restaurant and bar welcoming both hotel guests and the Greenwood Village neighborhood; conference and banquet space comprising a grand ballroom, meeting rooms, and reception space; and a fitness center that includes a swimming pool. The hotel is positioned to offer expansive views north towards the Denver Tech Center and south towards Pikes Peak. This transit-oriented development is located steps from the pedestrian bridge and parking structure serving the RTD Arapahoe at Village Center light-rail station and the Village Center retail and office buildings. The hotel will be highly visible and convenient to I-25.

“We have chosen Greenwood Village as the premier location for a Westin Hotel because of the density of Fortune 500 companies that are headquartered here, and the ability to leverage the infrastructure investments that are already in place,” said Rick Hayes, CEO of Waveland Ventures. “We commend Greenwood Village’s leadership for embracing this investment. The development of this project is a demonstration of the market demand that exists in Greenwood Village for the type of hospitality experience a Westin Hotel provides.”

Barela serves as division manager for Arapahoe/Douglas Works!, a publicly funded workforce center that offers no-cost services to connect job seekers and businesses in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.

Arapahoe/Douglas Works! also assisted Metro Denver EDC with site selection data resulting in location or expansion of the U.S. Patent Office branch location in Denver (50 jobs), and helped the organization with a variety of other data packages.

Arapahoe/Douglas Works! also offered customized employment services to new companies that recently located to the region. This included Connextions (550 jobs), TriZetto (750 jobs), Trulia (100 jobs), Blockbuster/Dish Network (150 jobs), Gordon Composites (240 jobs) and the expansion of Kaiser Permanente (100 jobs).

All together, these efforts contributed to growing the region’s economy by 8,760 jobs with worker earnings exceeding $880.8 million dollars.

Barela was also recognized for working with community leaders to create a dynamic Workforce Investment Board comprised of leaders in private industry and nonprofit, educational and government agencies.

This board helps the public workforce center track business needs in the region and better assist companies with recruiting and training talented workers.

“Joe has been instrumental in shaping the workforce center into one of our region’s greatest assets,” said Arapahoe County Commissioner Bill Holen. “We commend him for this well-deserved award, which recognizes his skills at forging partnerships and leading his organization in its mission for economic vitality.”

Kempe Foundation honors Gail Johnson & Judge Karen Ashby

By Glory Weisberg lthea is now a college student, attending Denver area colleges, she’s working toward an advanced degree, a smiling, emotionally healthy young woman, but the road to her present situation was not easy.

She didn’t ask to be born to parents who battered and bruised her, forced her to forage at night in the family kitchen for whatever she could sneak into her starving mouth. She had intense psychological problems when her case came to the attention of Dr. Nancy Gary, who worked with Althea and got her care at the Kempe Foundation, now formally known as The Gary Pavilion at The Children’s Hospital. One shudders to think what may have happened to Althea without the restorative treatment she got there.

Many of the more than 500 guests at Kempe Takes Venice removed their eyeglasses or wiped dripping mascara from their eyes when Dr. Gary and Althea addressed the benefit. Seeing Althea today got people out of their seats to give her a standing ovation.

As President and CEO of the Kempe Center, Pat Peterson said, more than 1,400 children have been served by the foundation and they have trained 90 professionals to work in the child abuse treatment field.

“Ninety percent of parents love their children, they just don’t love them well,” Peterson said.

Greenwood Villager Walt Imhoff and his late wife, Georgia, had championed the Kempe cause for more than two decades,

Improving the Mental Health of Families. The first letter in each of those words, almost totally spells out IMHOFF. Jack and Adrienne Fitzgibbons chaired the 2013 gala, naming it Kempe Takes Venice because it’s one of the couple’s favorite places.

Cherry Hills Villager Gail Johnson, 2003 Villager of the Year, won the Community Award at the gala. She’s been active with the Kempe Center for more than 17 years, including seven years on its executive committee and she’s also chaired three past

Kempe galas.

Judge Karen Ashby was honored with the Professional Award. She was appointed to the Denver Juvenile Court in 1998 and served as Presiding Judge of the Court since the following year.

“I have the envy of other juvenile court judges around the world for having the Kempe Center in our own backyard,” she said.

She presides over some Denver child adoptions, witnessing firsthand the near miracles the center has accomplished.

Hoops Hoopla makes fast break to Cable Center

By Steven Weisberg he annual Hoops & Hoopla casual fundraising event for local hospital National Jewish Health moved to the Cable Center on the University of Denver campus. Hundreds gathered to watch Men’s College Basketball Semifinals on the enormous composite video wall. Other distractions were offered such as a minibasketball dueling “pop-a-shot” and billiards but the vast majority proved content to simply socialize, watch the college tournaments.

Leading event organizers and volunteers were referred to as coaches. The title sponsor was Greiner Electric, which has served as the leading sponsor for several years.

Event coach Kris Wintroub said it was easy to get people involved in Hoops & Hoopla since it is not a black-tie event. Justin Cooper added that he previously attended the event and became motivated to get involved.

T

Denise Cito, another event coach, said how her daughter attended the sick children’s Kunsberg School on the campus of NJH from kindergarten through fifth grade.

Regular schools at the time did not allow the use of an inhaler for the child’s ailment that was exacerbated by the classroom’s pet rabbit.

The Kunsberg School helped the little girl learn how to self-manage her illness and improve her lagging self-esteem. She has since graduated from the University of Colorado.

Hospital rehabilitation Director Dr. Jane Whalen Price said they focus on what patients’ want to specifically achieve. She originally met trustee Paulee Brody as a patient who accomplished her goal to get beyond golfer’s elbow and back onto the golf course.

Three hours into the event there was a pause in the competition on

screen, the TVs were muted and the bars temporarily closed as 22-year board member David Engleberg addressed the crowd. He credited the event’s creation to Barry Hirschfeld, and after a nice video featuring patients who came from around the United States, he explained that the hospital has been around for 114 years.

About 70 percent of the children at the school come from non-traditional families and require heavy medication. The majority is there for problems with asthma but many other conditions are treated as well.

NJH spends about one million annually on the school and the Hoops & Hoopla event expects to raise about one-tenth of that.

Central City’s Nicholas House ready for rehab

By Glory Weisberg “This old house once rang with laughter. This old house heard many shouts. Now she trembles in the darkness when the lightning walks about.

“Ain’t got time to fix the shingles, ain’t got time to fix the floor. Ain’t got time to oil the hinges or to mend the windowpane.

“This old house is getting shaky.

This old house is getting old. This old house lets in the rain. This old house lets in the cold.

“This old house is getting feeble.

This old house is needin’ paint… .” nd so went parts of the 1954 hit sung by Rosemary Clooney, words and music by Stuart Hamblen.

Truer words were never written when describing the Nicholas House in Central City, built in 1875, now desperately needing major structural rehab because it will be home for some of the apprentice artists who live in Central City during the summer opera season.

The Central City Opera Guild Party for Preservation drew about 200 supporters who were asked to kick in funds to bring the Nicholas

House up to present building code.

The repair list and its costs start at about $50 to “Buy-a-Brick” or two or three and a doorknob and hardware and they need six of them.

Twenty new windows will cost $1,375, painting is about that same price and at the high end, the house needs $6,000 worth of new shingles.

What better place to hold the Party than the History Colorado fourth floor banquet space, which

has stunning views of downtown.

The party also served to honor Nancy Parker for her decades of support for the guild, which she presided over for two years. She is the face of the whole opera effort and she remains its face of strength and promise for the future.

Ed and Meg Nichols were also recognized for their ongoing support of the opera effort and for their reward they received a bottle of Breckenridge Distillery bourbon whiskey labeled “The Mine Shaft” that has flecks of gold in it. How

appropriate can you get, knowing that during the 1859 gold rush days, Central City was once known as the Richest Square Mile on Earth.

The El Pomar Foundation was also honored. It was started by Julie and Spencer Penrose in 1937. Mrs. Penrose was pivotal in starting the Central City Opera and the rest you can probably Google.

Kim Morss Dehncke and Kitty Koch co-chaired the party and they had a committee that is just about as detailed as the guild membership directory. That’s one way to sell

Fine Arts Foundation Membership Luncheon gathers at Glenmoor Country Club

T

he Fine Arts Foundation rolled out its On the Town events calendar for the rest of 2013 at the Membership Luncheon last week at Glenmoor Country Club.

On May 23, members are attending the DCPA’s Sense & Sensibility musical. We loved the play and you’ll love the friends you’ll make at the evening with the Fine Arts Foundation members. On July 13, they will enjoy David Byrne and St. Vincent and on the following week Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers entertain at another venue.

The Central City Opera production of Showboat brings FAF members to the Buell Theater, Aug. 7.

Other FAF venues include the Lone Tree Arts Center. The Phamaly Theatre Company performs at the Aurora Fox Theater in December.

That’s indicative of the wide range of performance events the Fine Arts Foundation has on its calendar.

The foundation got 41 arts nonprofits grant applications this year and the selection is a testament to their broad interest in the arts scene.

Jane Wiltshire chaired the luncheon that brought out about half a dozen past Citizens of the Arts honorees and co-honorees such as Judi Wolf, Caroline Kepner, Sherrye Berger, Arlene M, Johnson, Pam Duke and Phyllis VanderArk. Others there included Lisa Johnson, Jan McCusker, Jennifer O’Neill, Diana Petrow, Jody Phelps, Julia Scheele, Toni Sexton, Kitty Gregg, Terry Appel, Chris Yaros, Lauri

Denver Center Associate Director of Development Linda Mitchell notes that Saturday Night Alive netted $640,000 – $20,000 more than the original goal, and about $55,000 more than 2012. All auction items and surprise boxes were sold. Jamie Angelich chaired that March benefit. Oct. 24 is set for Theatre Threads, the popular luncheon that showcases costumes from the DCPA’s closet, worn by donors paying to walk the fashion ramp. This is the most fun luncheon of the year. The antics and attitudes worn on models’ faces is worth the attendance price, whatever it’s going to be.

Etiquette

Honoring a person’s time can be crucial to the success of another person’s relationship with you. When establishing a business or social appointment, make clear the amount of time it is expected to take. The socalled three-martini lunch is gone, relegated to the Mad Men era of the previous century. We’re all just too busy and getting loaded is one way to make a negative impression and embarrass oneself. We see this at benefit receptions that last too long.

Invitations should accurately state the reception hour start and the time

dinner will be served, not merely the time the ballroom doors are (finally) opened. If it’s 6-8 p.m. you are not obligated to arrive promptly at 6 p.m. but if you do plan your alcohol intake to enable you to arrive at your dining table sober enough to behave appropriately. Hors d’oeuvres are shrinking and are an endangered species, and at this desk complaints are plentiful when guests are expected to remain vertical for 120 minutes, awkwardly holding onto a wine or shot glass with nothing to do but sip. If there’s a silent auction, walking through it is interesting only if the selection is wide ranging enough to invite a range of guests to bid.

There is a theory that inebriated guests bid more, but taking such advantage of a paying guest is inappropriate. The problem also crops up at restaurants when people chat for far too long before perusing the menu.

But there at least you’re seated even if it’s only at the bar while you await your table availability.

We suggest benefits include in their food budget at least some kind of nibbles such as crackers and cheese, dried fruit or other choice that isn’t messy to handle. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

Quality is what you see.

Service is what you experience.

Care is what you feel.

Goodwill Power of Work Luncheon ‘Fueling the Dream’

Event honors departing CEO Jesse Wolff

By Glory Weisberg he Goodwill Power of Work Luncheon, April 18, filled the Marriott City Center ballroom to its walls as the public came to honor departing Goodwill CEO Jesse Wolff who is stepping down after three years of outstanding leadership with the Denver nonprofit.

Jobs specialist Andrew Hudson had advice for those seeking work.

“Being unemployed sucks.

We’ve all been unemployed at some time. I post 1,000 jobs a month on our website (but) job seekers outnumber the amount of jobs available,” Hudson said. “So much dignity depends on a job.”

He said the first question a person asks when meeting someone new is “What do you do?” and with many strangers sharing a table in the ballroom, the point was well taken.

One of the problems job seekers have is getting out from behind their computer screens where they send résumés to total strangers when they really need to be out physically meeting prospective employers. That’s really second base, as first base is learning how to create a good resume and that takes outside help.

“Do you have 15 hours a month to help those struggling and needing help?” he asked the question to the nearly 700 guests.

If so, Goodwill needs mentors who will bring together those wanting jobs and needing to learn how to get started.

“Tell 10 people you were moved by this speech today,” Hudson said and get involved with Goodwill, volunteering.

That all powerful word, mentoring, was addressed by luncheon

honoree, Kate Paul, when she took the stage to accept the Community Leader Award. Paul is CEO of Delta Dental of Colorado and she volunteers in the community, garnering awards for her activism, as Goodwill Industries of Denver board chair, Carrie Mesch noted. One instance of that was when Paul hit the spotlight at a Goodwill Dancing With Our Stars benefit, showing she can lead and she can follow dance instructors too.

First hitting the stage at the luncheon was the Northglenn High School Step Team, who were totally entertaining.

The most heart-warming part of this annual luncheon is the awards ceremony. Yayel Yohannes took the Family Strengthening Award.

Originally from Africa, she came to Denver’s Career Connection Center.

“When I first arrived here I was depressed,” she said, but Good-

will connected her with the Bridge Academy and she became a birth doula and medical interpreter.

Bruce Deese was shy and not communicating well but he now works at Goodwill’s GoodBikes program. He’s happiest at the end of a day’s work if he is full of bicycle grease, Dick Willis, his supervisor said. Deese won the Inspiration Award.

He and other Goodwill employees depend on donated clothing and household items for such work. I bet I’m not the only person who has a garage sheltering an unused bike. If you are, load it into your SUV and take it to one of Goodwill’s donation locations such as the one in the Arapahoe Marketplace, east of I-25 on East Arapahoe Road.

Christian Kalenga won the Bright Future Award. Born in the Congo, Christian’s mother was murdered before Christian emigrated to Zambia, where he lived most of his life before moving in with his sister here in Denver. He became a student of the Goodwill Youth Career Development Program, going on to win a Daniels Fund Scholarship to Colorado State University, giving the cheer, “Go Rams!” from the luncheon stage.

Arapahoe County Council on Aging promotes new Speakers’ Bureau In recognition of Older American’s Month in May, the Arapahoe County Council on Aging has designed and newly implemented a communityminded Speakers’ Bureau. The goals of the Speakers’ Bureau are to share information about the many community resources available for use when preparing for dynamic aging; to alert the community to the impact of the rapid increase in older Americans that is occurring in Arapahoe County; and to appeal to the community to join ACCOA in seeking solutions and advocating for change.

Trained volunteers are available to speak to any group, club, business, agency, faith community, or organization. Programs lasting from 20-60 minutes are available and are offered free of charge. These programs can be tailored to meet the needs of the

organization seeking information for its members.

Did you know that the growth in the older adult population will bring increased demands for aging services at the local and regional level and impact nearly every aspect of community life. Additionally, 10,000 U.S. citizens turn 65 every day; Arapahoe County will experience a 25+ percent increase in seniors older than 65 between 2010 and 2015; and in 2003, 1 in 8 residents of the Denver region were older than age 60. By 2030 that will increase to 1 in 40.

For answers to questions about ACCOA or the Speakers’ Bureau and to schedule a program for your organization, call, 303-273-2855 or email accoa@comcast.net, Attention: Speakers’ Bureau, or visit our www.accoa.info.

Dumb Friends League Furry Scurry set to celebrate 20 years May 4

T

his year, the Dumb Friends League will be hosting the 20th annual Furry Scurry at Denver’s Washington Park on Saturday, May 4. Known as the largest single walk for animals in the nation, the Furry Scurry brings dogs of all sizes and ages together for one common cause—to raise money for homeless pets.

Twenty years ago, not knowing what to expect but trusting in the support of our pet-friendly community, the Dumb Friends League welcomed 1,800 people to Washington Park, raising $90,000 through the efforts of 125 volunteers. The event has grown to 12,000 people and 5,000 dogs, raising more than $1 million with the help of more than 600 volunteers.

Last year alone, the Dumb Friends League took in more than 24,000 lost and surrendered pets—and more than 10,000 of those were adult dogs.

“Ever since our first Furry

Scurry, support from the community has grown by leaps and bounds,” said Bob Rohde, president and CEO of the Dumb Friends League. “This walk is a great way to celebrate the human-animal bond while helping provide valuable services for pets and people in Denver and the surrounding areas.”

Because of the continued need to care for homeless animals, the Dumb Friends League encourages individuals and teams to start fundraising now. The region’s largest community-based animal welfare agency hopes to raise even more to help provide services to the pets and people in our community, including lost and found, humane education, animal cruelty investigations and spay/neuter services at reduced fees, subsidized by Dumb Friends

Larry Fanning with his Colorado Bighorns original

League donors, for pets in underserved areas.

Walkers are encouraged to collect pledges from friends, family and co-workers to earn fabulous prizes. Registration for the event is $50 per person and includes a limited-edition Furry Scurry logo T-shirt.

T h e 2-mile walk will begin at 9 a.m. Afterwards, pet lovers can meet adoptable pets, watch demonstrations, participate in fun activities with their dog and shop for pet-friendly goods and services from more than 150 vendors and sponsors.

The 2013 Furry Scurry is sponsored by Hill’s Science Diet, HomeAgain, Amica Insurance, Whole Foods, Frontline Plus and Heartgard Plus. For more information and to register, visit furryscurry.org or call 303-7515772, ext. 1378.

Elegant art, 2013 Dodge Durango will go to Cancer League of CO supporters May 4 event to feature lavish list of auction items

By Glory Weisberg he internationally known and respected artist Eva Makk is donating a $46,000 painting, Love and Hope, to the live auction at the Cancer League of Colorado Hope Ball, May 4. Also donating an original piece for the live auction is Larry Fanning, well known for his wildlife paintings. His $20,000 Colorado Bighorns, set in a typical near whiteout mountain snowstorm, is going to be a big hit, drawing in those with spacious mountain retreats such as Aspen or those wanting a unique representation of the surrounding Colorado landscape.

The eyes of these sheep peer into the heart of anyone looking at them, making the animals come to life.

Edie Marks is chairing the gala, which has many other valuables up for bid, and they are part of the reason she expects the blacktie benefit to clear $600,000.

Jon Caldera a favorite at CCRW

By Scottie Taylor Iverson on Caldera has been a long time favorite speaker for Cherry Creek Republican Women audiences. He has been president of the conservative think tank Independence Institute since 1988. In the 1980s when he was studying economics and business at CU Boulder, his free market philosophies gelled. His political career began in 1994 when he was elected to the RTD Board and became outspoken about wasteful reforms. In 1998 he became Chairman of the RTD Board.

Most of Caldera’s presentation focused on the hot topic of gun control.” When I was in high school,” he began, “I remember watching Reagan and Thatcher, I didn’t get it then. That moment in history. The world is a different place today. We may not know where we are in history. What happened to our country? What happened to our state? The state I grew up in? The last gun control

J

scare was a long time ago and some Republicans signed on.”

He told his story as a kid being anti gun. His brother educated him about the mechanics and safety. It is a slow process to educate. The passing of a gun law in Colorado is like the turning of a ship.

“To the Liberals, Colorado is like Omaha Beach to win the West.”

Last year, the Independence Institute opened an event building in downtown Denver, a clubhouse to hash out strategies in private.

Republicans worked together on the same page. All 62 sheriffs met in Colorado. Governor Hickenlooper actually called the Independence Institute before the gun-control bill signing and spoke to Dave Kopel, Research Director.

Luxury within and without

Land Rover can do it all with ease

By H. Th ro ttle In almost all African safari films we see the Land Rover Range Rover vehicles crossing the plains and streambeds of wild Africa terrain.

Made in England for decades, the Land Rover organization is now owned by Tata Motors of India. Tata is a huge auto, bus and truck manufacturer in India with enough economic power to purchase Land Rover and Jaguar from the Ford Motor Company in July 2008.

Tata has suffered recently with European and U.S sales slowing but increasing in India and especially strong in The People’s Republic of China.

Main headquarters are in Mumbai, India, where Board Chairman Ratan N. Tata runs the worldwide auto, bus and commericial company. He is famous in India for allowing stray dogs to frequent his office buildings unattended. Tata stock has lagged the market so far in 2013 but has long-term price potential with the quality brand of vehicles manufactured.

The Range Rover is still manufactured in Solihull, England, using UK assembly and engine, and a German transmission.

Quality and durability throughout the Range Rover has a body frame integrated with a hydroformed boxed steel ladder frame and welded steel monosides. The doors sound

like bank vaults when they close and passengers feel very safe and secure inside the well-appointed interior highlighted with almond-nutmeg premium leather seats.

Power is abundant with a 375 hp, 5.0L V-8 engine that provides Spartan performance and acceleration.

With low gear ratios and choices of normal, sport and manual transmission modes. The stand drive can be adjusted for all road conditions including mountain snow and desert terrains.

Priced at $68,236 with massive electronic accessories and controls for all driving situations, the ride is superb, large 19” by 9” aluminum hubs make for a powerful tire footprint on ice, snow or sand. Four corner electronic air suspension and adjustable four- wheel independent front and rear suspension give an excellent ride under all road conditions.

Got kids aboard? There’s a detailed entertainment center, including television for rear seat passengers.

The Baltic blue painted Range Rover is a classic design and very desirable workhorse for males and females who like the outdoors in all types of weather and terrain conditions. It is equally swank at a valet parking social event.

The heated leather steering wheel feels very good on some of the recent blizzard mornings along with the heated rear view mirrors.

This is a vehicle that one could simple reside within. Mr. Tata could haul his hunting dogs to the countryside in style and extreme comfort.

The 2013 Land Rover Evoque price begins around $41,145 and climbs up to $50,225 with add-on packages.

2013 Range Rover Evoque= (s)pecial (U)tility (V)ehicle

By H. Th ro ttle ou can tell the popularity of a car or SUV when you arrive up to a social event and the valet drivers comes to your car door to accept the key or use the now popular “smart key” concept.

This new Range Rover Evoque, now in its second year of production, emits smiles from the young males as they speed away in the car for several blocks. (Usually changing the seat selection for the short yardage.)

The new Evoque is precious, not a word to describe it’s tougher Land Rover big brothers that have all of the dials, river and mountain driving controls. It would be a shame to take this “Fuji white” Evoque anywhere but to a social event or drop the kids off at school. This is mother’s Land Rover version of one of the most masculine vehicles produced in the British Empire and now Indian owned by Tata Motor Co. Land Rover has become truly international in production, ownership and sales making a strong showing around the world.

The engine for the Evoque is manufactured in Spain, the transmission in Japan; the “Fuji” paint name didn’t come from Ireland.

Tata is one of the largest manufacturers of buses and vehicles in

Y

the world run by the Tata family in India. It seems fitting that since they purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford a few years back that they have made dramatic improvements in these products in both mechanical and design elements.

The Evoque is elegant with smooth as silk in design with “almond/expresso” trim. It’s not a large SUV and can be parked easily with all of the cameras showing color pictures in rear parking.

With due credit to Ford Motor Company, they began to turbocharge and develop four-cylinder engines in the last decade to compere with hybrid products. To the auto industries credit, they have been able to make some dynamic advancements to these four-cylinder engines, and by adding turbo chargers and multi-gear transmission, have been able to engineer outstanding fuel and vehicle performance. No doubt Tata paid some attention to Fords engineering in their development of future power plant engines, at least that might be a thoughtful concept.

The end result of the success of this smaller engine is to greatly diminish the need for hybrid cars and battery driven technology.

The smaller engines are delivering up to 40 mpg on regular gasoline. The 2.L Evoque produced

240 horsepower along with a turbo charger that provides a mighty thrust to the powerful six speed transmission delivering 28 mpg.

What a thrill to step on the gas and have that turbo-charger kick in, the vehicle has more than adequate power even without the turbo boost.

Like Porsche, the Evoque has paddle shifters behind the steering wheel for easy shifting from manual shift modes, to sports, or standard drive.

It has braking precision with every range of brake and all terrain anti-braking systems along with dynamic stability controls.

You can’t find a more complete safety set of brakes and safety features.

The ride is firm and comfortable with an individual wheel coil springs and front and rear anti-roll bars.

List price begins around $41,145 and climbs up to $50,225 with navigation equipment, color TV cameras, special audio packages, but the price is competitive to other market SUV products.

This is a very special product and really very adaptable to city and mountain driving. A very strong choice for drivers who want something very special to drive and enjoy.

Creek celebrates signing day for student athletes

T

By Tom Barry here was a joyous atmosphere April 17 around the lunch hour as Cherry Creek High School honored its student athletes in Trophy Hall. Nearly 200 staff, students, parents and honorees packed the lobby area adjacent the main gym.

Eight athletes officially signed letters of intent for their respective colleges where they will attend next fall. The moms of the respective athletes decorated tables with their college colors including balloons, cakes, photos and flowers.

“This is a great group of student

athletes that have signed with Division 1 to Division 3 schools,” said Jason R. Wilkins, Creek’s athletic director. “This signing covers a wide range of nine sports.”

Karen Hanlin the department’s administrative assistant coordinated the extensive details of the colorful event that went like clockwork.

Many students throughout the year then gathered together in the gym after the spring signing for a group photo. In many cases, the respective student’s athletic scholarships are supplemented by academic merit scholarships.

Morgan West stands with mom Jill at Creek signing day festivities. The Bruins’ pitcher received an athletic scholarship to play baseball for the Ventura Collage Pirates in Ventura, Calif. West was recruited to play in his junior year. He has worked with a personal trainer and a pitching coach since 6th grade and hopes to play in the MLB one day. West is also a talented musician and plays clarinet and is in Creek’s Wind Ensemble.

Rufus Porter

the Hard Rock Poet

By Cathleen Norman pril is National Poetry Month and a great time to celebrate Rufus Porter, the gold miner and writer who captured the Cripple Creek mystique. The self-nicknamed Hard Rock Poet published his poetry and stories in three small books — The Fiddler from Wilson Creek and Other Western Ballads (1954), Gold Fever – the World’s Greatest Gold Camp in Picture, Song and Story (1954) and Pay Dirt (1960). Full of wit, wisdom and home-spun verse, each book well-illustrated with historic photographs of the mining camp.

Rufus had first arrived in the declining mining camp in the fall of 1917. Born Feb. 20, 1898, in Akeley, Minn., he spent his youth as a hobo seeing the world, in his words “roaming from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the jungles to the Arctic.” He settled down in Victor for a little while where he married his sweetheart Martha Elizabeth McDaniel on Dec. 31, 1920. They had five children, Betty, Norma, Robert, Doris and Chester.

The wayward wanderer made the City of Mines his semi-permanent home.

“I would be inexorably be drawn back to it five times in the next 40 years,” he later recalled, “staying many years each time.”

Each time he returned, Rufus prospected for nuggets of history and humor by talking to old-timers and writing down their stories of the early mining days. His friendship with Lowell Thomas, the worldfamous journalist who grew up in Victor, probably encouraged Porter’s writing efforts.

Porter worked at different gold operations in the district. His favorite was the Cresson Mine, famous for the “Cresson Vug,” and extraordinarily rich vein of gold.

As he later recalled, “It was in 1922 that I first worked on the fabulous

A

His trusty burro Esau became his trademark.

Posing here for Donkey Derby Days in summer 1954, Porter had won first place in the whisker contest; and he and Esau won second place in the parade.

Cresson gold mine... or the ‘Duke’ as she was more or less affectionately called by miners... I was 25 years old then and as healthy and husky as they came, with many years of hard rock mining already to my credit.”

At that time, muckers and trammers earned wages of $3.75 a day for shoveling ore and taking it out of the mine in tramcars. Machine men and timbermen made 4.75 per day operating the skip and shoring up the underground workings.

Miners padded their wages by “high grading,” pocketing rich ore samples and smuggling them out from underground.

“High grade, the place was lousy with it,” Rufus chuckled, “Sure, they watched us, but not close enough. There is an unholy thrill in getting away with a fine piece of ‘pocket ore’ that is enhanced by the closeness of their surveillance.”

Working conditions were rough and dangerous.

“It was so hot underground that we wore only pants and shoes, and drank several gallons of water per man per shift,” he later said.

Porter worked the Fort Knox claim in the Vindicator Mine property in the 1940s, and then got on the payroll at the Golden Cycle Mine. Working in the mines and carousing in the bars helped him come up with “true” tall tales

about the already-legendary Cripple Creek camp and its rowdiest residents.

The mule skinners who drove freight-wagon trains were the “most colorful as well as the most aromatic of the old timers.” Rufus joked about their outrageous barroom behavior and how they were allergic to bathwater.

The Hard Rock Poet spun stories about the Bull Hill Savages “who were so filthy in their housekeeping that they became living legends.”

“Ballad of Bathless Bill” tells the tale of the crusty prospector who was taunted by townsfolk for his disgusting hygiene habits.

When the smelly old coot strikes it rich, he scorns his critics up by bathing in champagne. Bathless Bill steps into a tin tub set on the bar and filled with $1,400 of the finest French bubbly. After Bill scrubs himself in front of the gaping crowd, he toasts them with the grimy bathwater.

The onlookers react enthusiastically: “At last all clean like a dance hall queen Old Bill stepped out to rub — He’d tasted the wine and said it was fine And they all made a dive for the tub.

Bill stood there bright, his skin as white As lilies in the rain — Admirin’ his wealth, they drank to his health

Rufus was the bewhiskered miner on the World’s Greatest Gold Camp billboards that went up around Colorado in the 1950s.

In that filthy black champagne.”

Dynamite Dan, the Hard Rock Man, shows up in several poems, including one about his romantic escapade. “The Courtship of Dynamite Dan” tells how a sporting girl woos the bashful miner. Flatchested Nell captures Dan’s fancy by enhancing her bosom with inflated rubber. Nell’s scheme comes to an explosive end when Dynamite Dan gives her an passionate squeeze: “[He] hugged her tight with all his might In ardent, swift embrace.

And here, my friends, our story ends — Her falsies blew up in his face!”

Porter’s poetry also depicted the miner’s hard-laboring life. “A Miner’s Prayer,” conveys life’s short span.

“When my hard task on earth is done God give me time to loaf in the sun; Loaf in the sun on a cool, green hill Where the breath of freedom lingers still; As I climb to the highest place; Highest place where content I’ll stay Praising Thee, Lord for each new day.

For the carefree rest I’ve never known Grant me a few years to call my own; Call my own and, my sins forgiving, Strength enough to enjoy their living.

There living enjoy with greater zest Because I have worked and earned my rest;

Rufus Porter experienced the Cripple Creek district the hard way – working underground.

Earned my rest and a place in the sun – Providing You find my work well done.”

Like many others, the poet recognized the district’s potential as a tourism destination. He even posed for a billboard painter. He is the dark-bearded hard-rock miner with laden pack burro who pointed “Yonder Lies Cripple Creek” on billboards that enticed tourists into the gold district.

Rufus finally retired from gold mining in the 1950s and moved to Colorado Springs where he continued his writing career writing a daily “Local Scene” column for the Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph. He also published articles in The Denver Post, Empire Magazine, Frontier Times, Old West, and American Adventure magazines.

In the 1960s, Rufus launched another sideline — entertaining kids at the North Pole amusement park in Cascade. Dressed in a dapper plaid jacket, western-cut shirt and bolo tie, he played his organ grinder and showed off his pet monkeys, Tammy and King Kong, whose tricks delighted youngsters.

Porter moved to Riverside, Calif., where he died in Feb. 16, 1979. He was four days shy of his 82nd birthday and was working on another book.

The day he died, Rufus wrote a letter his friend Leland Feitz, a fellow-author and then-director of the Cripple Creek District Museum: “I don’t think it will be long before I’m back in Colorado...”

The Hard Rock Poet was laid to rest a few days later in Colorado Springs’ Evergreen Cemetery. His wife Martha died the following year.

April freeze delays spring planting, yard work grees after a record daytime low high temperature of 22. The low temperature of 6 degrees on April 10 also broke the previous record of 7 degrees. Northeast Colorado received varying amounts of snow. In some locations snow covered the ground providing some insulation while in other places the soil was bare.

T

he recent record setting freezing temperatures will impact your landscape. On April 9 the low temperature plunged to 9 de-

Cold temperatures in and of themselves will not injure the lawn. Injury occurs when there is frost on the grass blades and the lawn is walked on. Grass blades break resulting in brown footprint patterns. This injury is short lived, but unsightly. Injury can be averted by staying off the lawn till the frost melts later in the day.

Bedding Plants

What will happen next?

Exposed annuals and perennials may have been killed or severely damage. Some plants are cold hardy to 15 degrees F. However we experienced temperatures as low as 6 degrees at the Denver reporting station. In some instances, warm soils and snow cover may have insulated plant material.

The good news is most trees and shrubs will leaf back out later in the spring. There could be some twig dieback on succulent growth.

What to do:

Trees and Shrubs Many shrubs already leafed out when the freeze occurred.

Fruit trees had already leafed out as well. The leaves formed this spring will soon wither, turn black and fall. Some expanded buds look to also have frozen.

This year’s shoot growth may also have frozen. Primarily this

applies to fruit trees.

Flower buds are more sensitive to the cold than leaf buds.

Trees and shrubs that normally flower and produce fruit in the spring may not do so this year. If the flower buds are frozen they will not be replaced until 2014.

• Some early flower displays may require replacement.

• Wait and see is the strategy on your trees and shrubs. Most of your “woody” plants will leaf back out over the next two – four weeks. Don’t be in a hurry to prune recently freezedamaged twigs. If they are still pliable, give them a chance and prune the bare shoots in June.

• Watering, fertilizing and insect control should be completed as usual.

The series, which boasts tributes to the Beatles and disco fever, among other musical touchstones, kicks off the first week in June and will continue every other Wednesday, except July 4, through Aug. 21.

The music takes flight June 5 with The Long Run, Colorado’s tribute to the Eagles.

That state-specific tagline is important as there are at least three Eagles tribute bands in the United States that are named for The Long Run, the Eagles’ last album before the group disbanded

– for at least a decade or two – in 1979.

Colorado’s Long Run is a side gig for Steven Weinmeister, guitarist and singer for Boulderbased Firefall. The band also features studio ace Adam Rey, among other local masters of country-roots-rock.

The nostalgic Jukebox Boys are next on June 13.

On July 10, it’s FourEverFab, a Beatles tribute that mimics the Fab Four – in music and threads – from the band’s early days at Liverpool’s Cavern Club through their 1969 London rooftop swansong. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

The music jumps forward a decade – wearing platform shoes and the weight of frizzy hair, no less – on July 24 with a polyester band name that says it all: Dr. Cool and the Disco Fever Divas.

This may Sting a little, but the

Police will be sworn in for their own tribute on Aug. 7 when the four-piece Message in a Bottle sets sail on the music of the Police.

Dig out the island shirts and salted glasses. The season closes with the Margarita Brothers. From Jimmy Buffet to early Beach Boys – if it’s got a beach reference, a tropical beat and/or a celebration of summer imbibing, you will find it on the Brothers’ set list.

All concerts begin ay 6:30 p.m., but get there early if you would like a place to sit. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a picnic.

The Streets at SouthGlenn is located in Centennial at the intersection of Arapahoe Road and South University Boulevard. For more information, visit www. shopsouthglenn.com.

Coffman congratulates local Boy Scout for being a hero

A serious-faced David Peterson from Regis from atop the mound stretches at the end of his windup at a game with Ponderosa in Parker April 19.

Regis lefty to pitch in Wrigley Field All Star game

By Tom Barry Over the last four years, we’ve been reading a lot about Missy Franklin, the Olympic swimmer from Regis Jesuit High School, who is also actively involved in the community. Chances are likely that over the next couple of years we will be hearing a lot about David Peterson a “lefty” pitcher from Regis’ boys division.

Peterson, a junior, has been selected to play in the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game at Wrigley Field on Aug. 24. The game is slotted to air live on the MLB Network. This Regis pitcher was one of 36 high school players selected to compete in this elite game.

Peterson was the starting pitcher in a game with Parker’s Ponderosa High and threw for three innings.

The Raiders team went on to win 10 to 0 on April 19.

“He keeps me young,” said David’s 89-year-old grandma Leona Peterson, who was in attendance right behind the backstop with his uncle Ron Peterson. “He played every day after school. I would take him to the baseball field.”

“She’s a saint,” said David of his grandmother. “When growing up with divorced parents, she was always there for me. We have a wonderful connection.”

‘My best pitch…’

“My best pitch is the one that gets people out, that’s my job,” said Peterson, who hopes one day to play in the Major League.

Most of Peterson’s pitches reach 89 to 91 mph, which include a fast ball, curve ball, a cutter and a splitter.

As the youngest child of seven, Peterson began playing his beloved sport of baseball in Arcadia, Calif.

His parents divorced when he was 2 years old and his father Doug passed away when David was 9.

The family moved to southeast Denver six years ago.

“My baseball coach was like a second dad and his son Stephen was like a brother to me,” said Peterson of his first coach Rene San Miguel in Arcadia.

“Way to go, Bug,” said David’s mom Shannon Dolce as David tosses the ball over the plate.

Dolce explained that David’s dad trained racehorses including Seattle Slew after his Triple Crown

Rep. Coffman had the honor to meet a genuine hero, 7-yearold Robert Hall. Last year, Robert saved another boy from drowning at the Trails Recreation Center. The Boy Scouts of America awarded him their Honor Medal. Rep. Coffman was proud to present him with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition this past weekend. What a remarkable youngster.

Heritage High School offers community a piece of its Legacy

Regis pitcher David Peterson stands with his family after a game in Parker. His uncle Ron Peterson (left) and his 89-yearold grandma Leona attended the game with David’s mom Shannon Dolce.

Photos by Tom Barry win. “Ever since David was 2 years old and wanted to be a jockey, I called him Bug,” as apprentice jockeys are called “Bug Boys.”

A spring to remember

Recently Peterson attended spring training with his former Regis coach Walt Weiss and his family. Weiss is the new manager of the Colorado Rockies and still has two sons that play for Regis – Brody, a senior, and Bo, a freshman.

“We did some practicing in the batting cages,” said Peterson of his spring training adventure. “I had a good relationship with Walt when he was coaching.”

“We’re excited for Walt,” said

Terri Weiss, who was at the game supporting the Regis team. “We do baseball, we are a baseball family.”

Regis recently hired a new baseball coach to replace Weiss. Mike Anderson has extensive coaching expertise and is a native of Eaton and graduated from the University of Northern Colorado where he played as an outfielder on the baseball team. Anderson had been the head baseball coach for the University of Nebraska for 10 years and with the school for 18 years until a parting of the ways.

“It’s all about family,” said Anderson, who is excited about returning to his home state and coaching the Regis team.

Pitcher selects Oregon University

David Peterson, a “lefty,” pitches for Regis and has been selected to play in the Under Armour All-America Baseball Game at Wrigley Field on Aug. 24.

Peterson towers well above his teammates at 6-foot-6, an ideal height for a pitcher. Since pitchers do not typically bat and utilize a designated hitter, he stands at the front of the dugout wearing his uniform jacket – to keep his arms warm – and encourages his teammates who are at the plate.

“Oregon University has one of the best baseball facilities,” said Peterson who has provided a verbal commitment to attend the school after graduation. “I knew it was where I wanted to be. I get this gut feeling when something is right.”

Oregon has a program that many athletes can graduate in three years before going professional in the major league draft.

Peterson intends to study Sports Business or Sports Management.

Submitted by Littleton Public Schools Heritage High School is looking toward the future with the launching of the Heritage Legacy Project. Spearheaded by parents, students and staff members, the project raises funds for student activities while providing a lasting legacy for all Heritage community members.

The student-designed project has the goal of fulfilling a threepronged mission: • Update the entrance of the school and add locations for students to interact and study • Create a strong and lasting connection for students with the community, alumni and school traditions • Raise funds to enhance the sound systems for the theater, gym, and student center Heritage students worked with landscaping professionals at O’Toole’s Garden Center to create their design for the entrance. Some of the current landscaping will be improved, additional outdoor seating will be added, and a new donor walkway and plaza will greet all who enter Heritage.

families will have the opportunity to purchase engraved bricks that will be incorporated into the school’s entrance. The bricks are available in three sizes and begin at $75.

All HHS student clubs and sports teams are also encouraged to purchase bricks. Project leaders point out that the bricks would make a perfect graduation gift.

Businesses will be able to include their logo on donated bricks, as well.

“Heritage High School is an amazing place with such loyal alumni and a supportive community. We wanted this project to be something special, something that will last for generations to come,” said Julie TenEyck, Heritage’s Parent Teacher Organization president and director of the Heritage Legacy Project. “Not only will this project physically enhance Heritage inside and out, but it is providing current students with an opportunity to put their amazing math and engineering skills to work to create something real and lasting that they can come back to and visit with their own children someday.”

By Peter Jones One day, a resident at Cherry Creek Nursing Center’s Secured Unit for dementia patients decided she’d had enough of the place and said she wanted to “quit.”

Richard Holt, the facility’s assistant director of nursing, got the news first.

“I told her she better write her resignation and give it to Jill, so she sat down and wrote her resignation,” Holt said. “She does that every so often.”

The flexible and caring staff at this Aurora nursing center has gotten used to accommodating a range of requests and situations. While one resident “quits,” another could long to care for an imaginary child, while their neighbor may need the comfort of a long-gone friend or family member.

“While these residents might not remember what happened yesterday, they can tell you what happened 20 years ago on a specific day,” Holt said.

The goal is compassion – and making residents feel the comfort of being home.

“I might look familiar to somebody and they think I’m a relative so I strive to offer the calm and support that the resident expects from the friend or relative,” said Michelle Cassidy, Cherry Creek Nursing Center’s director of marketing.

Those simple acts of caring are what makes the Renaissance Unit a comfortable and home-like environment for its 33 long-term residents, who range from 60 to 90 years of age.

The Renaissance Unit was conceived as a safe haven for patients suffering from memory loss and the confusion that goes with it.

“It’s a rebirth for them, a new life that’s structured,” Holt said.

Memory units like Cherry Creek’s Renaissance Unit have come under increasing demand nationally as the number of documented dementia patients grows across the United States.

According to a new study, more than 4 million Americans suffer from the various disorders that fall under dementia’s umbrella. Alzheimer’s, the most common form, is the sixth leading cause of death in the country.

Cherry Creek Nursing Center is one of 40 long-term care and shortterm care rehabilitation facilities – the only one in Colorado – owned by the national Nexion Health. A

eration ages. According to the international statistics from the World Health Organization, as many as 2 billion people will have dementia by the year 2050.

Cherry Creek Nursing Center is already seeing the early stages of that influx.

“There’s a huge demand, and it’s growing every day,” Holt said.

Because there is no cure for dementia, Cherry Creek places its emphasis on safety, comfort and therapy for those residents. While the unit is secured to prevent the danger of “elopement” or residents leaving, the interior of the Renaissance Unit provides the residents with a warm, comfortable and inviting atmosphere to make them feel at home.

Dressers, quilts, paintings and other keepsakes adorn the rooms.

Such items have an added purpose, reminding the residents about loved ones and personal history.

Shadow boxes of personal memorabilia are mounted outside each room, helping residents find their way and maintain their emotional attachments.

Soon the residents will also have access to an enclosed garden, which is currently under construction.

Many residents have discovered a late-blooming penchant for art, painting the often-impressive watercolors that fill the facility’s walls.

These works have even been part of a national fundraising effort for Alzheimer’s research.

Due to memory and attentionspan issues, the schedule of the unit’s wide-ranging activities is flexible.

“You can’t plan on an activity that’s going to be an hour and a half

Cherry Creek Nursing Center 14699 E. Hampden Ave. Aurora 303-693-0111 long. By then, they’ve moved onto something else,” Holt said. “We try to keep it kind of mellow and go where the traffic takes us.”

Sometimes it flows in unexpected directions. Although many residents have difficulty discerning reality and connecting past to present, there can also be incredible flashes of clarity.

“When you have dementia, you don’t remember three hours ago,” Cassidy said. “But then they’ll have lucid moments.”

The family-like support is palpable in the Renaissance Unit as staff members help residents through those ups and the downs. Some employees have even been named in residents’ obituaries alongside family members, said Lori Hicks, Cherry Creek Nursing Center’s assistant administrator.

“It just touches your heart because you don’t even know that’s coming,” she said.

Holt said those rewarding moments with residents tend to happen a lot.

“They become like your second family,” she said.

The original Downtown Denver Arts Festival set to open 15th year Annual event set for Memorial Day weekend Seth Maisel, James O’Hagan Murphy, Mackenzie Paulsen and Eric Mather star in the Littleton Town Hall Arts production of The 39 Steps.

‘The 39 Steps’ pays homage to the ‘Master of Suspense’

By Rosemary Fetter British director Alfred Hitchcock, who had a wicked sense of humor, would undoubtedly have appreciated the Littleton Town Hall Arts Center production of The 39 Steps, a madcap spoof of one of his early film noir thrillers. The production pays homage to the plump little director in a unique way.

Four different actors portray more than 100 different characters, a feat requiring admirable comic timing, lightening quick costume changes and a very strong constitution. Only James O’Hagan Murphy, who plays the lead, sticks with his original role, and he stays onstage and in motion during the entire performance.

(Murphy won Westword’s best actor in a drama for 2013, playing Robert Kennedy at the Vintage Theater.) Eric Mather and Seth Maisel are hilarious in the male roles and Mackenzie Paulson plays the women. She’s particularly funny as a corpse, which is no mean feat.

The original Hitchcock film starred Robert Donat as debonair Brit Richard Hannay, swept up in a web of high-stakes espionage after a woman is murdered in his apartment.

In the movie, which is set in preWorld War II London, Madeleine Carroll played the first in a series of cool Hitchcock blondes, which later included Kim Novak, Grace Kelley and Tippi Hedren.

This satirical version of the original screenplay, adapted by Patrick Barlow from the 1915 thriller by John Buchan, remains oddly faithful to Hitchcock’s film while going far out on a limb (and occasionally falling off). The plot is complicated enough to allow plenty of opportunities for comic improvisation, and the cast makes the most of it, adding their own individual touches along the way.

Maximum use of minimal objects is a good part of the fun, particularly during the car sequence and the chase scenes. Although the first act seems almost too fast-paced in a Keystone Cops kind of way, it doesn’t detract from the overall effect.

With love and irreverence, The 39 Steps pays hilarious homage to film noir, Hitchcock and spy movies in general. The instant costume changes alone make it worth the price of admission.

T

he original Downtown Denver Arts Festival, which will celebrate its 15th anniversary this year, has announced a full line-up of some of the state’s most outstanding artists for this year’s festival taking place May 24, 25 and 26 (Memorial Day seekend) at the Denver Performing Arts Complex. The DPAC was home to the Downtown Denver Arts Festival for its first three years, and is making a triumphant return to this far more “art-centric” location, which provides a more comfortable and casual environment (the festival had been held at the Denver Pavilions in recent years).

“We already have our artists linedup, a vast majority of whom will be from Colorado, our production is in place, and we’re looking forward to an incredibly successful event,” said Jim DeLutes, director of both the DDAF and the recently

introduced Affordable Arts Festival. “The DPAC will be able to better accommodate our popularity and growth, while providing a more spacious, enjoyable and art friendly atmosphere for our attending artists and their clientele. It will be a tremendous location to celebrate our 15th anniversary.”

DeLutes reports that a record number of artists applied for this year’s festival at the DPAC, and a waiting list is in place, speaking to the event’s reputation and respect it has garnered over the years.

Seventy percent of the artists will be Colorado artists, with the remaining 30 percent represented by a select group of national artists. All of the artists were selected based on a rigorous jury process. In addition

to featuring outstanding artwork by incredibly talented artists, this year’s event will also benefit Project C.U.R.E., which helps meet the need for medical supplies, equipment and services around the world (www.projectcure.org).

“We are the true and original

Downtown Denver Arts Festival, and we’re looking forward to making this year’s event the best ever,” DeLutes said.
