Streets at SouthGlenn theater included in the deal

By Tom Barry The Hollywood Theater chain previously owned by the Wallace Theater Corp. in Portland, Ore., has been sold to Regal Entertainment in Knoxville, Tenn.

“We’re just doing a changeover,” said Richard Idiaquez, general manager of the Hollywood Theaters at The Streets at SouthGlenn. “We were just sold to Regal Theaters.”

Hollywood’s SouthGlenn Stadium 14 Theater in Centennial has more than 2,500 combined seats and is located at South Vine and East Commons Avenue. The theater is about three and a half years old and employs around 65 staff. Their second floor Sky Box bar and restaurant employs half of the staff and boasts an executive chef that makes all the items on the menu from scratch.

The transaction between the two ownership groups took place about two weeks ago, according to staff members who were not authorized to speak on behalf of the corporations. Regal has purchased all of theaters from Wallace Corp., which includes more than

40 multi-cinema complexes.

The Villager was quickly whisked away from the executive office by Idiaquez, as there were five other managers present. He said that Regal had the managers reapply for their positions, of which all maintained their jobs. Idiaquez did not share any of the specifics, as he was visibly very busy.

Regal also owns and operates the United Artist Theaters group.

It is expected that Hollywood Theaters will retain their existing colorful movie house moniker on the building looking east to University Boulevard.

The SouthGlenn movie house will undergo some changes inside, including signage replacing Hollywood logos. There was one small red Regal corporate sign visible on the concession stand, which simply noted “this lane closed.”

The complex is also anticipating a more extensive camera monitorof the Colorado House remembered once when after making a friendly appearance with a Republican colleague he was poked in the stomach by a confused citizen who was flabbergasted by the politicians’ mutual agreement on how to foster an economic-recovery plan.

“It was like we were some kind of carnival sideshow,” Romanoff said of the group’s wariness of the two representatives. “They’d never seen this kind of thing before, and that’s sad. It shouldn’t be such a rarity.”

ing security system. The Villager checked the exit door at one theater that did not have an alarm or any outside surveillance cameras. This may change in light of the theater shooting last summer in Aurora at the Century 16 multiplex, which is owned by Cinemark.

Currently, Hollywood Theaters has a contract with Pepsi to provide the soft drinks at the concession stands. Regal has a long-term contract with Coke. It is possible that Coke may buyout the previous contract to have continuity within the Regal chain. The soft drink companies actually sweeten the deal with the colossal theater corporations to compete for their business.

Regal’s main competitors are AMC and Cinemark Theaters.

Calls to Regal Entertainment, Wallace Theaters and SouthGlenn’s management company Alberta Development were not returned.

DA George Brauchler will seek the death penalty for James Holmes.

Death penalty no surprise in Holmes case

By Peter Jones The announcement this week that prosecutors would seek the death penalty for accused Aurora theater shooter James Holmes came as little surprise to many.

Prosecutors had already publicly rebuffed Holmes’s offer to plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

Then, in a Denver Post column published one day before the April 1 announcement, District Attorney George Brauchler made a vigorous defense of capital punishment as the appropriate justice for Colorado’s most heinous murderers.

In court, Brauchler effectively counted Holmes in that number.

“It is my determination and my intention that in this case, for James Eagan Holmes, justice is death,” the district attorney said in his announcement.

The district attorney, who emphasized his strong support for the death penalty during last year’s election campaign, said he had consulted with as many as 800 survivors and family members of victims from last summer’s theater massacre before making the highly anticipated decision.

The announcement was not the day’s only news in the high-profile case. Eighteenth Judicial District Chief Judge William Sylvester, who had presided over the case, said he would reassign it to Judge Carlos Samour due to the “logistical demands” of a deathpenalty case.

Samour then delayed the trial date by six months, setting it for Feb. 2, 2014. The trial is expected to last about four months.

Holmes faces multiple first-degree murder and attempted-murder charges for killing 12 people and wounding 58 in a July 20 rampage at Century 21 theaters.

An insanity defense is considered likely.

State senator pushes dog protection

Balmer’s bill would require training for police officers

T

By Peter Jones here is no mistaking that state Sen. David Balmer is a born dog lover. His email tagline advises, “Be as good as your dog.” One of his two Hungarian vizslas was featured in his campaign television advertisement last year.

Now, the Centennial Republican has taken his favorite animal to the state Capitol, quite literally. This week, he organized a “dog-protection rally,” an event for which participants were encouraged to bring their dogs to the west steps, and then attend – without their pets – a committee hearing on Balmer’s Dog Protection Act. In the wake of a series of

publicized dog shootings by law enforcement officials, Balmer’s recently introduced bill would require police officers and sheriff’s deputies in Colorado to take a three-hour training course on how to handle man’s best friend, especially during routine house calls not involving violent crime.

The proposed legislation would establish a diversely structured task force of stakeholders that would develop a curriculum and produce a webinar that would be required viewing for virtually all city and county law enforcement officials.

The bill is believed to be the first legislation of its kind in the country.

“It all started with a flurry of phone calls that I received from constituents that were very upset with the shooting up in Commerce City,” Balmer said. “I didn’t know what would be the appropriate way

to tackle this, but fortunately law enforcement has helped me understand this is a training problem.”

The Commerce City incident last November was videotaped by a neighbor and was widely seen on television before going viral on the Internet. Chloe, a therapy pet who was staying with a relative of her owner, had escaped from an open garage door. When police were notified that an unfamiliar dog was running loose, Chloe was restrained and shocked with a Taser before deadly force was used.

“The animal-control officer already had the dog in the snare pole in the garage when the officer shot the dog five times,” Balmer said. “If you watch the video, it’s pretty clear that the dog was very frightened.

When you’re firing bullets inside a garage, they’re ricocheting off cement. The animal-control officer

officers and sheriff’s deputies.

“This is a bill that has been carefully considered by all sides,” Balmer said. “When we first started working on this two months ago, there was stiff opposition from law enforcement. Now we have just the opposite.”

Among the bill’s chief supporters is Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson, who consulted with Balmer and helped write part of the 17-page legislation. The sheriff says his office is already in the process of instigating its own training program that would run in concert with the proposed state-level program.

“What I’m hoping is that the State Sen.

Romanoff a proponent of bipartisanism Continued from Page 1 Romanoff, who is seeking to challenge incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman in the 6th Congressional District next year, made his case for bipartisan teamwork at Del Frisco’s restaurant during a March 26 luncheon of the DTC/Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce.

“Take Congress, please,” the Aurora-based Democrat quipped, evoking the late Henny Youngman. “I find it embarrassing and infuriating as both a former lawmaker and a citizen to watch this cavalcade of incompetency parade across the national landscape.”

In the wake of recent partisan grappling over the so-called “sequestration” of federal spending and other issues, Romanoff contrasted that situation to his own history at the state level as the Democratic leader of the House of Representatives.

During his four years as speaker, the then-Denver representative was known as a consensus builder who was largely respected by his colleagues on both sides of the House chamber. His leadership earned national recognition, including Governing magazine’s Public Official of the Year award.

During the recession in 2005, Romanoff forged an alliance with Republican Gov. Bill Owens, leading a bipartisan effort to pass an economic-recovery plan at a time when Colorado was lagging in

By Peter Jones As another testament to the changing demographics of suburban Arapahoe County, state House District 37 may be poised for another first in 2014: A political battle between two up and coming black candidates.

Democrat Marlo Alston, 40, is seeking her party’s nomination in the increasingly competitive district.

So far, her sole potential opponent is 25-year-old Michael Fields, who has cast himself as part of a new generation of Republicans seeking to improve the GOP’s image among minority voters.

Although it is still early and other candidates are likely to emerge before next year’s assembly and primary process, Alston is quick to distinguish herself from Fields, who was profiled by The Villager in January.

“I know that we offer clear and distinct differences,” Alston said. “It is definitely interesting that two African-Americans have come out and want to serve House District 37. We have very different views.”

With an open seat in 2014, many believe the once Republican-safe District 37 will be up for grabs by either party in the increasingly purple Arapahoe County.

Formerly contained entirely within the city of Centennial, the district has expanded into unincorporated areas, as well as Foxfield, Dove Valley, Inverness and parts of Greenwood Village and Democratic-leaning Aurora.

Although redistricting per the 2010 U.S. Census has maintained 37’s Republican majority, the Democratic and unaffiliated numbers have inched up, and many who live in the newly reconfigured district have never voted for Rep. Spencer Swalm, the term-limited Centennial Republican who has held the seat since 2006.

Alston, a first-time legislative candidate, believes she has what it takes to appeal to the politically diverse constituency.

“I’m a face that’s new and fresh and represents our community as a whole,” she said. “I’m a strong woman. I’m an optimistic hardworking woman. I believe you have to have morals, values and hard work in order to accomplish the things that

Marlo Alston

have to be accomplished.”

The currently unemployed Centennial Democrat has placed a strong emphasis on jobs and ways the state government might encourage their creation.

“I’ve been looking for job for a while and it’s challenging,” she said. “I want to take time to look at the [incentive] packages that other states are offering and then make an informed decision about how to proceed.”

Alston’s other priorities would include legislation to help victims of assault and domestic abuse and bring harsher penalties to their perpetrators.

“A woman who is abused or sexually assaulted lives with that for the rest of her life,” the candidate said.

“But this other person can go to prison for six months or 24 months. Very rarely do they get a life sentence or 24 years.”

Alston developed her passion for justice and community service while growing up in rural Tennessee. A life-changing event occurred when her younger brother was shot nine times with a rapid-fire weapon during a gas station robbery.

“My brother was in a coma. He came out of it and the doctor said he’ll be paralyzed for the rest of his life. He overcame that,” Alston said.

“He was blessed. We did a lot of praying. He will be 40 this year.”

The experience turned Alston into a supporter of more stringent gun control. She backed the controversial Colorado bills – pertaining to universal background checks and high-capacity magazines – that were recently signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper in the wake of the

Aurora theater shootings.

“We do have the right to bear arms,” Alston said. “However, assault weapons are not something that I believe should be on the street.”

The Tennessee-born wife and mother of three eventually relocated to Colorado with her husband and children. The family first lived in Lakewood before moving to Centennial eight years ago.

“Colorado was a change of pace and the job market was great for my husband,” the candidate said.

“Colorado offers all the things that I love – the weather, the people, and even though jobs are hard to find, we make a nice living as a family.”

Alston recently resigned her own job with Pinnacol Assurance, the state’s largest provider of worker’s compensation insurance, due to what she perceived as a potential conflict of interest.

During the campaign, the mother of two sons in the military says he hopes to find a new job more in keeping with her passions for military families or abuse victims.

“That remains to be seen. I’m not sure yet,” she said.

Although this is Alston’s first run for the state legislature, she has been active in governance and politics as the Democrats’ District 37 vice-chair and as a board member for her Centennial homeowners association.

The candidate says she recently had a realization that the time had come for her to take her community service to the next level.

“I’m a person of belief and I’m big on my faith. I had prayed about it,” she said. “I woke up one morning and told my husband, ‘Now is the time to make a positive change.’”

Martens seeks Centennial City Council seat

Submitted by Theresa Martens Theresa Martens has submitted her affidavit to the Centennial City Clerk’s Office and announced her candidacy for City Council in District 2 at a local forum on March 16.

Martens loves history and politics, but did not get personally involved until after her children were grown and she saw the American Dream slipping away from them.

In 2010, Martens became a delegate/alternate for the congressional, judicial and state elections, joined many activist groups, became a state chair for a national political-action group and a board member of a charter school. She is now in the process of starting her own business.

“Running for City Council is the next step for me to effect change in my part of the world,” Martens said.

“Centennial is a wonderful place to live and I want to make sure that her streets are sound, her businesses thrive, her schools flourish, and she

Theresa Martens operates from a balanced budget like any of the citizens within her borders must do to provide a strong and stable foundation for their families’ futures.”

As a graduate of Metropolitan State College, Martens holds a bachelor’s degree in behavioral science with a generalist endorsement in special education and a minor in psychology. She graduated with

honors and spent 10 years doing home daycare and tutoring, five years teaching private preschool, two years in general education in the public schools at the elementary level, six years in special education at the middle school level and four years in special education at the elementary level.

“It is my goal to bring civility, integrity and respect to the table and work tirelessly to achieve fair and ethical practices for everyone without having to compromise on principles,” Martens said. “It is my solemn pledge to defend the Constitution and the founding principles of liberty and dignity for all.”

Martens is the wife of Nick Martens, a software architect at Comcast. They have been married 30 years and have three daughters in their 20s and attending college in Colorado. The couple has one granddaughter that Martens says “lights up our world.”

Denver Library Public system expands hours

By Jan Wondra eginning this week, the Denver Public Library has expanded its schedule of library hours, with the goal of increasing 40 percent by the end of the year. The additional hours have been made possible by the passage of Measure 2A, approved by Denver voters in the November elections. The measure, which raised $68 million to help the city address its deficit, has provided funds to support the city’s library infrastructure, as well as fund road repairs and fire protection services.

Most of the expansion of hours will be in place by the end of April.

The additional funding means that all branch libraries will be open a minimum of 48 hours (six days) per week, with additional weekend and evening hours at several locations. All branches will have two evening hours (with the exception of Westwood Branch, which will be open Saturday as well as its regular weekday hours to match the West-

B

wood Community Center, where it is located). The Central Library, located at 10 W. 14th Ave. Parkway, will now be open 56 hours per week. It’s popular Saturday morning hours, beloved by parents for their children’s story hours, will be restored.

The DPL system that had been on an aggressive technology upgrade in the past few years, has struggled with funding cuts during the recession. Two of its most popular technology improvements have been its Community Technology Center located on level four of the Central Library and its February launch of digital magazines. The Technology Center offers free computer classes, job hunting assistance and general technology access. The library has also signed an agreement with Zinio

for libraries, which offers full digital copies of more than 200 popular and specialty magazines to view on a computer or mobile device. DPL library cards will give you unlimited access to this entire collection.

Titles will not need to be returned and do not expire. A little-know fact is that you do not need to be a resident of Denver to hold a Denver Library card, only a citizen of Colorado.

In concert with the return of library hours, the library has announced that it will be increasing its staffing level. This will include a combination of increased hours for current part-time staff, as well as new hires.

Job openings will be posted to the library’s website at www.denver library.org.

Mayors Tisdale, Rakowsky testify on maximum municipal fines

By Jan Wondra reenwood Village Mayor Ron Rakowsky and Cherry Hills Village Mayor Doug Tisdale joined forces on March 19 to testify before the Colorado House of Representatives Judiciary Committee on behalf of HB 13-1060. The bill has now been heard by both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees and will go to the full Senate.

Under current law, the maximum amount that a municipal court may fine a person convicted of violating a municipal ordinance is $1,000.

The bill would raise this amount to $2,650. The mayors’ collaborative approach to the issue of municipal fines is yet another example of how the two municipalities continue to work together to solve common problems.

“In changing times, laws need to be updated and this is an excellent example of that process,” Rakowsky said.

The bill is sponsored in the Colorado House of Representatives by Durango Democrat Rep. Michael McLachlan. The 11-member standing House Judiciary Committee is chaired by Democrat Daniel Kagan,

G

and includes seven Democrats and four Republicans. Following bipartisan support during the Senate hearing, District 26 Sen. Linda Newell will sponsor the bill on the Senate floor.

An earlier alternative to the current bill proposal would have raised the maximum allowable fine to $5,000, but a compromise had to be made for the bill to proceed. The current maximum would index fines to the 1963 Consumer Price Index.

This will resolve the need for legislative debate in future years, since is ceiling would rise gradually over time.

The Colorado legislature has raised the level of municipal court fines only twice in the past 50 years.

In 1963, the maximum level was raised from $50 to $500. Then in 1991, it was doubled from $500 to $1,000, where it has remained for nearly 22 years. Adjusting the maximum fine levels would allow municipal fines to reflect the true cost of infractions. A serious example is the increasingly costly repairs to roads and bridges from overweight trucks.

“The current fine limits are so low that it is worth it for trucking

companies to ignore weight limits, overload their trucks, and simply pay the fines if caught,” said Tisdale. “And if you’re in a fender bender with an uninsured motorist, the judge’s ability to fine that person more than $1,000 could be important.”

Ninety-two Colorado municipalities, of all sizes, have signed on in support of the bill, representing a significant grassroots coalition from across the state. The Senate hearing, lead by Judiciary Committee member Jeanne Nicholson, “was efficient and fair,” said Mayor Rakowsky.

“We were pleased that Senator David Balmer moved to forward the bill to the full Senate.”

Under the wording of the bill, any person convicted of violating a municipal ordinance in a municipal court of record may be incarcerated for a period not to exceed one year, or fined $5,000.

“This would definitely not mandate that judges would fine at the higher maximum,” said Tisdale.

“But it does give municipal judges more latitude. Each municipality can then decide whether or not to adopt the new ceiling.”

From Our Politician

Afghanistan – ‘The Wrong War’

By U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman n 2007, when then-Sen. Barack Obama began his campaign for the Democratic nomination for president, his signature issue was his opposition to the war in Iraq. This well positioned him against his chief rival, Senator Hillary Clinton, who in 2002 had voted in favor of going to war. Obama wasn’t elected to the U.S. Senate until 2004 so he had the good political fortune of not having cast a vote for or against the Iraq War. During the 2008 presidential primary, Obama campaigned heavily against the unpopular war in Iraq by criticizing the Bush administration’s decision to invade the country based on their allegations that Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to U.S. national security interest. The Bush administration’s rationale for the invasion was that Saddam Hussein presented an imminent threat because he was developing weapons of mass destruction in clear violation of the 1991 cease fire agreement that ended the first

I

Gulf War. Following an exhaustive search by coalition forces in post invasion Iraq, the alleged Iraqi stockpiles of WMD never materialized.

While Obama criticized the U.S. intervention in Iraq as the “wrong war” he praised our involvement in Afghanistan as being the “right war” for our country to prosecute. This was because our involvement was justified by the World Trade Center attack on 9/11, which was planned and coordinated by al Qaeda in their safe harbor in Afghanistan given them by the Taliban.

However, it is my contention that Afghanistan was never the “right war” for our country to be so deeply involved in. No doubt, the initial actions of the Bush administration in Afghanistan were brilliant. Shortly following the 9/11 attack, air, advisory, and logistical support was given to the anti-Taliban forces, the Northern Alliance, who successfully fought the Taliban and were able to push them and al Qaeda allies completely out of their country.

The United States had an extraordinary opportunity at that moment to say to the victors on the ground that so long as they keep Afghanistan from becoming another breeding ground for terrorism we would continue to provide support to them. We also would have been in a position to encourage them to expand their governing coalition to better reflect the ethnic and religious composition of the country and to improve the status of women in their society.

Unfortunately, the Bush administration made a terrible and costly mistake. Instead of saying to the victors on the ground that

Letters to the Editor Colorado immigration anti cooperation bill HB1258 Colorado legislators are currently considering a bill that will threaten the safety and welfare of Colorado citizens and immigrant communities alike, HB-1258. This bill repeals earlier legislation that insures local governments do not restrict local law enforcement and public employees from cooperation with Federal immigration authorities in processing criminal illegal aliens.

After public reaction to a repeat offender illegal alien plowing into a Baskin Robbins in Aurora and killing a child, then Gov. Ritter call a statewide immigration summit to see what could be done about local immigrant catchand-release policies in the jails. Law enforcement state and federal, district attorneys, and state lawmakers agreed that it is important for

local law enforcement to cooperate with Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Without guaranteeing this cooperation a previously deported gang member could not be detained unless they commit another nonimmigration crime. This bill invokes the “safety clause” making it difficult to change in the future. Please contact your legislators and the governor and ask them to side with integrity and vote no on HB1258.

John Brick Englewood

Helping those who need it most The Obama regime claims it’s concerned about the average person during this economic downturn, that has real unemployment (using U6 data) at 15 percent. So why

we will support you so long as you keep al Qaeda and the Taliban from returning to Afghanistan, we forced them aside and superimposed a political process over the country that gave them the government that we wanted them to have without regard to the political culture of the Afghan people.

The Bush administration had an opportunity to achieve our security goals in Afghanistan without the extraordinary cost to our military that has been paid in blood: over two thousand dead and so many more wounded. This year alone, the cost to U.S. taxpayers for all Afghanistan related costs will exceed $100 billion.

The United States must return to a foreign policy that is less idealistic and more realistic. We must maintain strong conventional forces to deter those who otherwise would wish to attack us and support indigenous factions within a given region that share our security goals instead of invading, pacifying and administering whole countries under the impossible goal of trying to make them look like us.

If I accomplish anything during my tenure as a member of the House Armed Services Committee it will be in making sure that our nation never goes down the path of nation building ever again.

U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman is a Marine Corps combat veteran and the only member of Congress to have served in both the first Gulf War and the Iraq War.

is it reducing money for the Meals-on-Wheels program that helps disabled seniors, or closing air traffic control towers that make air travel safe, or furloughing FBI agents. After all, the regime squandered 500 million tax payer dollars on Solyndra (a solar company that benefited a billionaire friend of the Obamas) and then went bankrupt. It’s now sending 231 million tax payer dollars (in the form of fighter jets) to Egyptian strongman Morsi of Muslim Brotherhood fame, who wants to destroy our ally Israel. Why, right here in Colorado, the government blew $60 million on the Abound Solar boondoggle, which also went bankrupt.

That money would have supported Colorado’s Meals-on-Wheels program for needy seniors for many, many years.

Thus, it appears that the Obama regime is concerned about helping some people. What a shame it’s not the people who are really in need.

Decision delayed on Englewood BID Opponents object while backers rally support

By Peter Jones The Englewood Business Improvement District will live to see another day – but just how many more days remains to be seen.

Last month at the request of the BID’s legal counsel, the Englewood City Council continued – or delayed – its public hearing on the future of the controversial governmental organization until this summer.

The council had been scheduled to evaluate the signatures of business owners on a petition to dissolve the South Broadway BID on March 18, but city officials opted to postpone any action on the BID’s future until June 17.

The decision effectively gave BID supporters more time to rally support and persuade property own-

ers to remove their signatures from the petition. The decision raised protests from BID opponents, who had hoped to dissolve the organization immediately.

Against those objections, the council voted 5-2 for the continuance with Councilmembers Joe Jefferson and Rick Gillit casting the opposing votes. The two officials also disagreed with a council decision not to allow BID opponents to speak their objections to the impending delay at the public hearing.

According to the city attorney’s office, the council was not required to hear any public comment because of the continuance, noting that both sides would be allowed to express their views to the council on June 17.

The tax-supported BID was created in 2007 as an effort to unite the disparate businesses under a united marketing and improvement strategy.

At the time, a majority of property

owners, including some of its eventual critics, voted to create the South Broadway Business Improvement District and self-impose a tax.

In more recent years, some property owners – most notably Jon Cook, who reportedly owns as much as 40 percent of South Broadway Mile between Yale and Hampden avenues – have protested the BID’s spending decisions and circulated the petition to dissolve the entity.

By state statute in order to close down the BID, the opponents’ signatures had to represent at least 50 percent of the district’s county-assessed value and 50 percent of its total acreage. That means not every signature would be considered equal. Cook’s one “vote” could potentially tip the scale. His opposition has been expected to carry greater weight due to the sheer number of properties he owns.

Part of the council’s responsibility will be to verify the math and ensure that those who have signed the peti-

warrant, complained that city police and sheriff’s deputies failed to provide a sign-language interpreter during the man’s arrest and booking into the county jail.

In addition to the $35,000 payouts to the private plaintiff, the county and city have agreed to provide a qualified sign-language interpreter when needed or requested, within one hour in most circumstances.

While Sheriff Grayson Robinson maintains his department handled the situation professionally, he says he has made appropriate changes.

“That involved modifying our

policies and enhancing the training we already provide,” he said, noting that deputies tried to communicate with the man using handwritten notes while awaiting a sign interpreter. “We certainly don’t believe we did anything wrong, but if we can do things better, we will.”

The settlement came after a federal lawsuit filed by the Colorado Association of the Deaf and the Colorado Cross-Disability Coalition alleged violations of ADA, the 1990 law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

According to a preliminary report by the city’s finance department, the petition signatures as they currently stand represent around 58 percent of the district’s assessed value – though the BID’s legal counsel said the organization would have reason to challenge the validity of some signatures.

The City Council, which has largely supported the BID, has limited discretion in its actions. For example, if opponents fail to reach the mathematical thresholds for petition signatures, the officials could hear testimony from business owners and make a decision about the BID’s future. But if opponents do collect the required signatures, the council would have no choice but to dissolve the entity.

As part of their settlements, the two agencies will enter into contracts with sign-language interpreters to ensure their ready availability, train staff on ADA requirements, post signs indicating availability of interpreters and other aids, and modify handcuffing policies for those who use sign language.

Robinson says the settlement has also prompted his office to reevaluate its procedures related to those with a range of other disabilities.

SBDC aids vintage-inspired fine foods success

N

ina Faull, of Doxy’s Fine Foods, is so excited she can hardly speak. Since beginning her foray into gourmet food production with the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center last May, her business’s swift expansion has left her breathless. In fact, when she arrived for her interview for this Success Story, Faull had just returned from a sales pitch with a national grocery chain.

“He looked at the bottle and my spice packets and said, ‘I’d like to place an order right now,” Faull said.

Faull’s path to creating her specialty food line began with a cookbook she wrote for women to give their husbands, complete with vintage photos of lovely ladies. She sold more than 1,000 before writing a second book and starting a vintage foodie column for a UK magazine.

Her friends’ constant requests for her homemade balsamic vinaigrette propelled her to take the next step.

One day, a friend asked her to bottle

the vinaigrette, sparking Faull to ponder storing it in a wine bottle.

“I became a chemist overnight,” Faull said, and she began researching bottling techniques while creating a unique label for her product.

In July 2012, Faull began producing Doxy’s Fine Foods which currently includes her signature balsamic vinaigrette, as well as handcrafted gluten-free, vegan, seasoning packets.

A first step to her adventure into handcrafted goodness was a counseling appointment with the SBDC. “You were my first stop even before I started production because failure was not an option. I knew that I needed to do it right,” Faull said.

She began working on her business plan with the SBDC in May 2012, and obtained consulting prior to each major business decision. She has worked extensively with the SBDC’s team of consultants in marketing, sales, strategic financial planning, search engine optimization, and business expansion. Accord-

ing to Stefanie Dalgar, marketing consultant, Faull’s ability to follow through on SBDC recommendations has been critical to her success.

“Nina is a model for anyone looking to start a business. Her drive and determination enabled her to take the guidance given and feedback provided to her, and turn her concept into a successful business within a very short time. Her enthusiasm and passion make her wonderful person to work with and is reflected in the success she has experienced along the way,” Dalgar said.

Faull also credits her consultants with keeping her focused on the big picture and avoiding being overwhelmed by the minutia of starting a business. This has been particularly important, given the speed at which her business is increasing. Although she began selling her product at farmer’s markets less than a year ago, Faull has already made inroads into major Colorado retailers. In order to prepare her sales pitch, Faull worked with sales consultant Gina

South Metro Denver SBDC hosts intensive 10-week business-planning course

This spring the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center will again offer an intensive business-planning course for entrepreneurs. The Colorado Leading Edge will present the NxLeveL Entrepreneurial Training Program; a course designed for entrepreneurs who are currently in business seeking both knowledge and skills to grow their businesses. Participants graduate with a fully executed business plan, which might be a feasibility study, growth plan, or start-up plan. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best plans from generous grant matching sponsor, Colorado Business Bank.

Both facilitators and participants rave about the course and its ability to help entrepreneurs get their new growth plans off the ground successfully. Jeannie Pershin, a partner at Romancing the Bean coffee shop in Littleton, was impressed with the course.

“I’ve always concentrated on the operations side of the business and completing this program with my partner gave me new insight as to the total picture of our operation.

They uncovered areas of our business practices that we hadn’t taken into account,” Pershin said.

“The NxLeveL business planning course is a one-of-a-kind program for business owners who need to write or enhance their business plan in order to expand their business. This 10-week course offers a safe place for entrepreneurs to learn and support each other on the path to completing a business plan. I have found this course adds to the success of the business by assisting entrepreneurs in getting capital, planning growth, or starting a new venture,” said Marcia McGilley, executive

director of the South Metro Denver Small Business Development Center.

The 10-week course covers:

• Planning & Research: Entrepreneurial Essentials • Organizational Matters: Management & Legal Structure • Marketing: Market Research, Analysis & Understanding • Advertising: Strategies, Tactics & Implementation • Financial Overview: Books, Records & Controls, Financial Planning • Managing Your Money: Cash Flow Projections, Budgets & Assumptions

The course also features:

• Guest speakers including accountants, attorneys and bankers • Networking opportunities • A comprehensive textbook, workbook and resource guide • Five hours of one-on-one business consulting from the South Metro Denver SBDC at no charge • Interaction with business loan officers at the Lender’s Panel • Special bonus sessions: Web site review, IBIS World Industry Research report, and Brandify Report The SBDC will be holding an informational seminar on the program

on Thursday, April 4th and again on April 11 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. at the South Metro Denver Chamber Center, 2154 E. Commons Ave., Suite 324 in the Streets at SouthGlenn Complex in Centennial. You’ll be able to meet and ask questions of the instructors and learn how this opportunity can benefit your business.

The actual 10-week course will run from 6 – 9:30 p.m. on Wednesday evenings beginning April 17 through June 19 at the Chamber Center. Cost for the 10-week course is $495 per person, $445 for South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce members and Colorado Business Bank customers with additional members of a registered organization able to take the course for an additional $250. A limited number of partial scholarships are available to business owners in need of financial assistance.

NxLeveL is funded by Colorado Business Bank, the State of Colorado, and the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce. Register for the course by email at info@ smallbusinessdenver.com or call 303-795-0142 for more information.

“Nina did a fantastic job of taking the guidance and putting it to work for her. She knew what her goals were and worked very hard to ensure she had all the pieces in the right place to achieve them,” said Kaelin-Westcott. “Seeing her featured at the Williams-Sonoma Artisan market was a wonderful achievement for all her dedicated work.”

“Every shred of information, print or online, I ran through the SBDC group,” Faull said. “I wouldn’t pull the trigger on anything until I heard from them.”

Her hard work paid off as she received numerous compliments about the quality and originality of her booth and product presentation.

“People said to me ‘This is what a $30 million business looks like,’” Faull said.

“Nina Faull is the perfect entrepreneur. She had an idea, found the resources to assist her from the beginning and continues to reach out as her business grows. This is why we do what we do. We love assisting entrepreneurs in launching and

Two local librarians named industry ‘Movers & Shakers’

T

Submitted by Arapahoe Library District he Arapahoe Library District was fortunate to have two staff named as Movers & Shakers in the library industry by the national publication, Library Journal. ALD librarians Melissa Depper and Richard Lyda were selected because of their commitment to librarianship, as well as being community builders and literacy advocates.

In its March 15 issue, the publication named 50 outstanding professionals committed to providing excellent service to meet the needs of the people they serve.

Depper, who has been with ALD since 2003, is a librarian in the Child and Family Library Services department and is a founding member of the Colorado Libraries for Early Literacy, an advisory group to the Colorado State Library.

LJ honored Depper for, according to her ALD supervisor Lori Romero, “…cheerfully and astutely advocating for libraries, families, and early literacy with remarkable gusto and impact every day.”

In addition to her work with CLEL, Depper is known for her superb story-time training skills that focus on literacy outcomes, with strategies like handing out activity cards to foster parent-child engagement and creating a set of best practices for story times.

Through her blog, Depper also helps to facilitate an active online community that helps children’s librarians share new ideas, techniques and tools.

Depper is a graduate of the University of North Carolina’s School of Information and Library Science.

Since 2008, Lyda has served as an ALD Outreach Services librarian, where much of his work involves providing outreach and mobile library service to underserved populations. LJ honored Lyda because of his tenacity and efforts to ensure that mobile library services would continue to thrive for patrons who may not be able to visit or are even aware of local library services.

When the former bookmo-

bile “died” shortly after Lyda had started at ALD, he quickly stepped up and used data and personal stories about bookmobile patrons to convince the district to purchase a replacement. Lyda made do with a 22-foot van crammed with five carts of books, DVDs and CDs until ALD purchased a 34-foot “Library on Wheels” that he recommended.

The library staff has since tripled the Library on Wheels’ open hours and doubled program attendance.

Lyda is also working to close the digital divide for those he serves by providing access to tablets, eReaders, laptops and other devices to the Library on Wheels patrons.

Lyda earned his masters of Library and Information Science with an emphasis in Information Science and Technology from the University of Denver. His previous experience includes working at the Woodbury Branch of the Denver Public Library and serving as a media technician for the Norlin Media Library on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The 2013 Movers & Shakers were selected by the editors of LJ, the profession’s leading trade

Campus Middle School hosts Mobile Art Gallery Submitted by CCSD he Campus Middle School community was treated to an evening of outstanding art and music on March 20, when the school hosted the Cherry Creek Arts Festival Mobile Art Gallery II. Talented orchestra students performed classical music in the cafeteria, while student docents led guests through a gallery in the commons that featured 30 pieces of original works of art from the CCAF’s exhibiting artists.

“It was enjoying the perfect marriage of visual and auditory entertainment,” said parent Kim Kramer, who toured the exhibit with her daughter Hannah, after the eighth-grader’s performance on the viola. “I love all the artistic opportunities that are available in the district.”

The exhibit, which included ceramics, digital art, drawings, jewelry, metalworks, photography and sculpture, was at Campus from March 15-25, giving students plenty of opportunities to enjoy the artwork.

“The kids will stop, walk around, look at the art,” said art teacher Anna Mills. “We saw surprising interest from students you might not expect. One boy jumped up with joy and said,

T

“This is an exciting thing!””

Campus students including Abbey Wegner and Jessica Wolfson volunteered to serve as docents for the exhibit. They received two hours of training about the pieces and the artists who created them.

“I love art,” said Wegner, “so learning about each artist and the stories behind their work was really interesting.”

“I’m an artist myself,” said Wolfson, whose favorite medium is colored pencils. “I loved learning about the art and the different techniques each artist used.”

The CCAF Mobile Art Gallery II is funded through a grant from the Scientific and Cultural Collaborative, a nonprofit organization comprised of arts, science and cultural organizations that are part of the metro area’s Scientific and Cultural Facility District. A group of teachers from Campus and Belleview Elementary applied for the grant, which also provides other cultural activities throughout the year.

Boys Hope Girls Hope of Colorado celebrates 20 years

O

n March 20, Boys Hope Girls Hope of Colorado celebrated its 20th Anniversary by honoring several founders and long time supporters of the organization. Kathy Walsh, with CBS Channel 4, welcomed the guests at the Curtis Ballroom at Comedy Works Landmark.

The Regis Jesuit High School Advanced Jazz Ensemble performed for the event.

Boys Hope Girls Hope helps academically capable and motivated children-in-need to meet their full potential and become men and women for others by providing value-centered, family-like homes, opportunities and education through college.

They have provided more than 175 residential scholarships to deserving children in the community over the years. The scholars have given back by doing over 15,000 hours of community service. They have received more than 25,000 hours of tutoring and attended colleges like Creighton University, Regis University, University of Colorado – Denver and University of Denver.

Mary Frances Tharp, executive director, reflected, “Anniversaries do give one a moment to stop, reflect, sometimes laugh and sometimes cry and there are certain people who continue to come up in those reflections. These are people who I know without them, Boys Hope Girls Hope would not be celebrating 20 years.”

Don and Janis McFall, 20th Anniversary honorees Honored at the evening’s event were Fr. Paul Sheridan, S.J., the founding visionary of Boys Hope Girls Hope. Fr. Sheridan’s proven model of success was brought to Colorado thanks to the substantial support of Don McFall. Don’s generosity, expertise and contacts paved the way for Boys Hope to break ground and accept our original eight scholars.

During these early years, Fr. Ralph Houlihan, S.J., was able to provide scholarships and academic support as the “new” Regis Jesuit High School was being constructed in Aurora.

Also during this time Jon Stonbraker (Dill, Dill, Carr,

Kent and Jo Swanson, 20th Anniversary honorees Courtesy photos

Stonbraker and Hutchings) kept BHGH on the right side of the law, and continues to offer his legal services pro-bono.

Steve Tierney served as board chair, program committee chair, mentor to the scholars, and perhaps most importantly Steve is a tireless supporter for the scholars and the program.

Dr. Jo Swanson has been an invaluable resource by serving as program director, program committee chair, a mentor, school psychologist and candidate assessor. Jo’s professional and personal commitment has assured that the BHGH scholars have the best possible emotional support.

Mary Fran Tharp, executive director; Paul Minorini, CEO BHGH International; and Debbie O’Dwyer, 20th Anniversary chair Kent Swanson served as board chair, and his business expertise and generous spirit prepared the organization for the Girls Hope expansion.

RaNae Carpenter and her husband Chris have made Girls Hope possible by providing for the residential and scholarship needs of the girls. Dr. Chris Carpenter is an orthodontist and provides care for the scholars. From the beginning, our scholars have benefited from the extraordinary support of Regis Jesuit High School which continues to provide scholarships for quality college preparatory education for the scholars, instilling in them the

all-important value of become persons for and with others.

Twenty years of providing home and educating children.

That is more than 175,000 meals served, almost 2,000 exams, 23,000 hours of community service, and 17,000 loads of laundry.

Other attendees included Mark and Polly Lestikow (Closet Factory), Barb and Rees Davis, Rev. Phil Steele, S.J. president at Regis Jesuit High School, Brian Hamilton (Land Title Guarantee Company), Mark and Ellen Kiniry, and graduates of BHGH scholarships Kenneth Stable, Nguyen Nguyen and Justin Merow.

LIVING with HIP PAIN? Sky Ridge Surgeons Dr. Craig Loucks and Dr. Robert Greenhow pioneered the Minimally Invasive Anterior Hip Approach in Colorado. Collectively they have performed more than 4000 procedures.

Etiquette

Americans are living longer than when Social Security was established, from an average age of 61 to mid-80s, and many entering the job force now report on polls that they don’t expect Social Security to be around when they retire.

Likewise, IRAs may be used up before the average worker today needs to keep drawing on it, especially if they keep drawing from it to meet today’s financial needs.

Those problems are also being felt at nonprofits that offer life memberships. Those who became life members when they were in mid-

life are now costing the nonprofit more to keep them on their books/ rosters. The amount of memberships is insufficient to meet today’s postage and other costs.

For one example, a local charity in the late 1980s charged $250 for a life membership that today costs $750. Charities can’t demand the lifers pay for annual upkeep but some such charities are asking for voluntary donations of what they cost to remain on the roster, even though much of what used to be print invitations and other mailings are now Evites.

It’s good manners for those of us lifers to consider a voluntary donation for membership upkeep, say $25 a year per charity, especially if we’re not giving money to that charity for attending annual fundraisers.

The result of not offering that donation or a charity requesting it may contribute to their dropping the

guild to begin with. It’s no secret that several local nonprofits are choosing to break up in light of the imbalance of money raised and money spent to keep on functioning. Of course there are other reasons for a guild closing such as running out of new blood to volunteer to work on events due to more women especially, working outside the home. Empty nesters now travel more as well and wintering in a golf community in a warmer climate, they are not around to go to event planning meetings. The agency may close itself if research or the cultural organization is no longer needed.

So let’s end this virtual conversation by suggesting a fresh view of life memberships that began decades ago and today’s costs.

Kent Denver has winter sports success Submitted by Kent Denver In its best season in at least 20 years, Kent Denver’s boys basketball team finished with an 8-0 record in the Metropolitan League and an overall record of 25-2.

The Sun Devils entered the 3A state tournament as the No. 1 seed and hosted their regional games at home in Black Field House, walloping Aurora West College Prep 71-28 and besting Aspen 62-49. The boys then beat Sterling 55-34 in the quarterfinals and Brush 5938 in the semifinals before losing in an upset in the final game to Pagosa Springs by a score of 53-49.

Kent Denver senior Josh Repine, who had 16 points in the final game, was named to The Denver Post’s AllTournament Team.

“It truly was the journey over the four months and not just the end product at the state championship game that matters,” said Kent Denver Head Coach Todd Schayes. “Winning the league and district titles was tremendous. The leadership of our 12 seniors on this team has really raised the bar for years to come. All of the players showed tremendous character and class throughout the season, especially in congratulating Pagosa after the final game.”

Kent Denver’s girls basketball team, meanwhile, enjoyed its best season since 2005, with a final record of 21-6 and an 8-1 finish in the Metro League. As the No. 12 seed in the state tournament, the Sun Devils beat Middle Park and Moffat County. Then, the girls fell 37-34 in a hard-fought game against St. Mary’s of Colorado Springs. The Sun Devils went on to finish as runners-up in the 3A state consolation tournament.

Finally, the girls’ swimming and diving team was the top 3A finisher in the Colorado 4A state meet. All of Kent Denver’s relay teams qualified for the meet, as did seniors Olivia Leoni and Lauren Abruzzo and sophomore Kendall Crawford in their individual events.

In all, she holds seven records in the 11 events in which she has participated, and she has posted All-American times in both the 200 IM and the 500 free events. Abruzzo is currently ranked 8th in the country in the 500 free.

Creek’s Greenwood Elementary raises $35,000 to duct tape principal

E

By Tom Barry very other year, Greenwood Elementary School conducts a fundraiser for the school, which is part of the Cherry Creek School District.

Money is raised to support efforts beyond the district’s annual budget. This school educates children from kindergarten through fifth grade.

Two years ago, Midge Eidson, the school’s goodnatured principal, worked with the Parent Teacher Community Organization to raise funds for other special projects and needs.

When the financial goal was attained, Eidson dyed her hair pink – an exceptionally bright pink – and roamed the halls sport-

ing the new “hairdo” for over a week to the students’ amusement.

Greenwood’s wish list The PTCO, Eidson and her staff met to discuss the school’s needs and special projects this year and come up with a way to fund them. The wish list included: updating computer hardware and software; establishing a new vegetable garden; curriculum enhancements, which could include books and other items; and new tables for the cafeteria. Funds may also be allotted to provide for special in-service training for the staff.

“Greenwood PTCO uses the family giving campaign to raise money for teacher and staff aide requests that fall outside what the district provides that enriches our student’s experience,” said Raquel Isenhart, a former event planner and incoming co-chairperson of the PTCO who has a first and third grader at the school.

Preparing for STEM curriculum Greenwood along with other schools in the district are preparing for next year’s curriculum transition. Colorado has adopted the new common core standard.

The district will also have a STEM focus which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. It is hoped that STEM will better prepare students for the ever-changing global world in which they will live and compete.

“This time I tried to come up with something creative that we could do that will give me the involvement with every child,” said Eidson, who previously served in the Army Medical Service Corps and was stationed in South Korea.

“I actually Googled and found what other principals had done to raise funds.”

The Google search came up with an idea – to duct tape the principal to the wall if the school community reached its campaign goal.

The group recently held an all-school assembly for its 420 students, parents and staff to promote and engage the school community. The agreeable Eidson came out dressed as a red apple to kick off the campaign. Parent volunteers distributed plastic red apples with the student’s respective names on the look-alike fruit.

Student and parents alike were told that if the PTCO reached its goal that their principal would allow the elementary school learners an opportunity to duct tape the principal.

School community raises $35,000 Upon learning that the school’s efforts to raise $35,000 had been met, the children were enthralled

Mothers of students at Greenwood helped prepare Eidson for the stunt. The principal wore two layers of clothing anticipating that the tape would eventually have to

be cut off. Moms, as a precaution, wrapped the spunky principal in bubble wrap to make it easier to remove the strong adhesive tape.

School children entered the cafeteria March 27 during their scheduled lunch time and each student placed about one yard of extremely sticky pink duct tape on their principal. Students used 18 rolls of brightly colored pink duct tape.

“Every child got to put a piece of duct tape on me during lunch and I got an opportunity to thank them for participating in the fundraiser,” said Eidson. “It was just like being in a cocoon.”

“Our Greenwood Village police officers – School Resource Officers – are such a great support to us because they participated and were part of our event,” said a thankful Eidson about Officers Rodney Valenzuela, who took photos of the event, and Steve Rohman, who interacted with the children.”

In a future assembly the PTCO will award prizes to randomly selected student participants that will include an iPad and other items.

“We have a very generous community and its students who attend,” said Eidson. “I am so proud to be part of this community with very valuable partnerships.”

Obituary Doug Allen on one of his beloved rides with Roundup Riders of the Rockies

Douglas R. Allen, Sr., March 1941 – March 2013

B

orn on March 1, 1941, in Toledo, Ohio, to the late William T. Allen and Virginia R. (Rowan) Allen, Doug and his two brothers grew up in rural Virginia.

He was the quintessential southern gentleman with a side of a 20-year-old fraternity boy. He always wanted to be a cowboy and worked on a ranch in Jackson, Wyo. Doug graduated in 1963 from Hampden Sydney College, a small, liberal arts men’s college in Virginia. After college, he joined the U.S. Navy and served as Supply Officer in a destroyer based in Pearl Harbor. While in the service, his ship made two WESTPAC cruises with duty in Vietnam. He left the service in 1967 and attended Rutgers, the State University, where he graduated with an MBA from the School of Professional Accounting. After becoming a CPA, he moved to Denver in 1968 where he worked for a large CPA firm.

He started his own real estate management firm, Allen Asso-

ciates, Inc. in 1975 and continued in this capacity until this year. During his real estate career he served one term as president of the Apartment Association of Metro Denver and two terms as president of the Colorado Apartment Association.

He was active for many years in the Roundup Riders of the Rockies as well as pursuing his passion of waterfowl hunting.

Doug always wanted to give back. As such he was active for many years in Big Brothers. He hosted the Youth Waterfowl Hunt and hosted the Wounded Warriors at his hunting club.

He passed away on March 24 in Centennial. He is survived by his former wife, Karen, two sons, Rowan and Hunter, a daughter, Kristin, five grandchildren and brothers Thomas N. Allen and Randolph M. Allen. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made to the Wounded Warrior Project www.woundedwarriorproject.org/ donate.aspx

Richmond’s Lunata at Castle Pines hits the mark with luxury lifestyle buyers

A

collection of easy-tolive-in lifestyle patio residences – built by Richmond American Homes, one of the Nation’s leading and best-respected builders – are under way and some near completion in its Lunata at Castle Pines enclave inside the gated country club community north of Castle Rock.

Priced from the mid $400s and ranging from 2,350 to 3,150 square feet, buyers can choose from three Lunata home designs with standard finishes including stainless steel appliances, granite

counter tops in the kitchen and master bath, and hardwood floors in the kitchen, nook and entry.

The homes, along with a sample of other luxury residences, will be on display to the public on April 13, between noon and 4 PM during the Coldwell Banker Castle Pines Previews Open House.

Two Lunata homes now under way and slated for completion in early 2013 include: 5143 LeDuc Court at $654,894, a Dorian design with a main floor master, two spacious upstairs bedrooms each with a private baths, study, spacious

gourmet kitchen that opens to the nook and great room and that includes a large island, double ovens, built-in cooktop and stainless steel appliances. Owners will appreciate its cul-de-sac location as well as a three-car garage.

5139 LeDuc Court at $536,341, a Doris model, located on a cule-de-sac is the collection’s three bedroom ranch with an open floor design which features a wide covered deck, open kitchen and nook, walk-in pantry, spacious great room, formal dining room, study and a three-car garage.

Enhancement project for South Platte River begins

Buy 1 Pint Color Sam ple, Get One FREE! T hi s of f er c an onl y be r edeemed at :

offer v alid till May 6, 2013

Submitted by City of Littleton hanks to a 2009 investigation into the health of the South Platte River led by South Suburban Parks and Recreation and the City of Littleton, a River Enhancement Plan was created, approved and has recently received permitting from the Army Corps of Engineers.

Phase one of a multi-year project will begin March 25.

The project is intended to correct changes to the river channel that have occurred since the installation of Chatfield Dam. Sediment-hungry

T

water released to the river from the dam, the impacts of surrounding development, and increased storage or diversion of water from the river have all combined to alter the nature of the river.

Flows once supported a 120-footwide channel that meandered across a wide floodplain. Current flows are more typical of what should be a 40-foot-wide channel, so the water runs wider and shallower, providing less habitat variety for fish and wildlife.

Visitors to the area will see a large excavator working in the dry

office is two miles west of I-25 on the south side of West Happy Canyon Road, in the two-story wood-and-stone office building across from the fire station at 482 W. Happy Canyon Road.

Additional information is available by calling Coldwell Banker Castle Pines at 303-688-6100 or at www.castlepines.com. channel. The contractor will insert a steel sheet diverting the river flows around the work zone and a large quarry truck will be hauling materials in and out of the channel.

Phase I will involve reshaping the river from the Mineral pedestrian bridge in South Platte Park 1,200 feet downstream. The work will concentrate the river at low flows and mimic the riffle-pool-glide sequences of a natural river. Rock material will be hauled in, sediments in the river will be moved around, and two wetland areas will be created in nearby lakes.

Some additional bank stabilization work will occur a mile upstream near Redtail Lake. Vehicles will use existing service roads at the edge of the Cooley Lake wildlife area in South Platte Park.

No trail closures are expected.

However, the river and its access points in the work zone will be temporarily closed to recreational use.

South Platte Park will cancel the free Cooley Lake hike on May 10 and the guided hikes offered April 13 and May 11 will be rerouted. Some wildlife will be displaced by the work and the aquatic ecosystem will be temporarily affected.

Keeping the majority of the river undisturbed is one reason the project is being implemented in phases.

The ultimate goal is to create healthier habitats and restore more natural river functions for the long term.

The project was designed by Environmental Resource Consultants, Inc. and is being managed by Urban Drainage and Flood Control.

Funding is provided by South Suburban Parks and Recreation, the City of Littleton, Urban Drainage and Flood Control, a Fishing is Fun grant from the State of Colorado and Trout Unlimited.

Minor improvements to fish habitat are expected, but the area is not expected to see significant increase in game-fish quality. The focus of the work is for overall river health and riparian habitat.

How much should you water in April? handle watering restrictions in April is going to be different than in the heat of July. Getting your lawns and landscapes off to the right start is what you should do in April.

Don’t water just because you can

With drought restrictions throughout the Front Range, property owners need to take special care and attention to watering.

S

tatewide, the drought has property owners concerned about keeping their plants alive.

Already, watering restrictions along the lines of two watering days per week are the rule for many cities along the Front Range - stretching from Fort Col-

lins to Colorado Springs. In the mountains, watering is allowed three days per week in the Vail Valley, but that could change.

What does this mean for property owners?

For starters, remember that it’s only April and we need to take one month at a time. How we 2012 winner

grow

It’s tempting to grab all the water you can when you can, but that’s being a water hoarder. In April, especially, that strategy can do more harm than good if we get regular precipitation. Normally, April is cool and we usually get moisture.

If there’s natural moisture, you probably won’t need to water twice per week. Instead, do what’s best for the lawn and if the soil is dry, give the lawn a good soak. Then skip watering the next two or three days you’re allowed to water. Springtime is when we need to encourage grass roots to grow deep and that’s exactly what soaking the soil with long intervals between watering does.

Frequent watering on the other hand, keeps roots near the top of the soil where they will dry out more quickly. In the heat of the summer, those shallow roots will be screaming for water they can’t have and the lawn will show it.

Aerate the lawn

After a spring rain or a good soak from the sprinkler on your watering day, aerate the lawn with

a core-aerating machine. Aeration is a best management practice and for good reason. The holes caused by aeration open up the soil so it can take in the moisture and nutrients that keep lawns healthy.

Control crabgrass

CSU’s experts recommend pre-emergent weed control for crabgrass this year because this is one weed that likes drier conditions. Apply the control the day before a day when you will water.

Love your trees

Trees are your biggest landscape investment, so make them

a priority. Trees cost more to buy and plant than any other plants in the landscape – and they actually increase in value over time. It’s easy to replace some dead lawn, but you can’t go to the nursery to buy a 30 foot maple tree if the one in your backyard dies. And it will take a long time to re-grow the thousands of dollars in property value that tree represents. Trees planted in the lawn areas will get water each time you water the lawn, but trees not in the turf will need supplemental water.

his is a classic design and turns heads, small in size, but mighty on the highway.

This 4-cylinder, 1.8 liter power plant makes this Lexus CT200h hybrid a driving treat.

Using a simple variable transmission system, one range is all that is needed. The hybrid drive operates efficiently and the motor turns on and off at stop signs, backing up, but instantly reverts to engine power when needed.

This hybrid technology results in a 42-mpg average for this model.

Style and design are really strong with this Lexus model, smaller in size but the lines of the vehicle are trend setting. The

nebula gray pearl paint shimmers in the falling snowflakes.

Great traction comes from the all-wheel drive and traction control electronics. Safety equipment includes front and side impact bags.

Four-wheel independent suspension provides a crisp ride and the sports mode provides a stronger performance versus normal range. Ride is firm and one feels the road, which typical of sports vehicles.

This is just a very cool entry in the Lexus stable of clever vehicles and priced in a lower range of $31,750 and then additional equipment as needed or desired.

Special equipment can include a sports and navigation package

that can increase the vehicle pricing, but well worth the extra features over the life of the vehicle.

Driving a hybrid is slightly different when not hearing the roar of starting engine, but the quiet of the battery power back out of the garage.

They have this technology about as well as it will get and this is a very clever car, convenient features, and a holder for iPhone and electronic equipment.

This is one of the finest hybrids tested and the overall quality of this Lexus is outstanding.

Drives very well, looks great and goes forever on a tank of gas.

This is a strong entry in the hybrid car world.

Andrew Reinert, only 1.5 miles away. The storm had hidden the fact food and warmth was so close. Carl Miller had unfortunately chosen another direction to seek help when he left.

At the Reinert farm, Mary Miller and Orlo Untiedt, 7, died, bringing the death toll to five children and one adult. Unbelievably, two planes were located to ferry the remaining 15 children to the hospital in Lamar.

The Denver Post paid for all the airplane expenses and for all the children’s hospital stays.

The other two surviving Untiedt children on the bus suffered frozen feet like their big brother.

(Another brother, Virgil, had stayed home that day with a bad cold.) The newspaper in-

terviewed the family and recounted how Bryan often played his harmonica after he returned home to help him forget the shooting pains from his feet and legs. Virgil showed the reporter the scars on his legs from a previous tragedy of his own; he was rounding a corner of their house when his mother threw out a skillet-full of burning hot oil.

America was enchanted with the courage and steadiness the humble 12-year-old displayed through the ordeal. Bryan became a national hero.

The Denver Post treated the family to a week at the Brown Palace, but the biggest honor was yet to come.

President and Mrs. Hoover hosted the quiet hero and his father for a week, April 29 to May 5, 1931, in the White House.

Bryan often talked alone with the president and watched him play medicine ball in the mornings.

He also spent a lot of time

playing table tennis with Mrs. Hoover, declaring her a “pretty good” player. The young hero became good friends with the Hoover dogs, but his favorite memory was the gun factory the Hoovers took him through.

For the rest of his life, he treasured the .22 caliber rifle Allen Hoover, the president’s son, gave him, and the numerous letters and cards the Hoovers sent him for years.

At the time of the dramatic rescue Bryan said he planned to be a stockman when he grew up, “when the dust and wind quit and the rain and snow came again,” and raise fine horses. He owned a horse and rode nearly daily as a boy. But the “Dirty Thirties” were followed by worldwide war, and Bryan enlisted in the Navy in early 1943. He coowned a construction company in Aurora for years, but he died in 1977 at 59 years of age and is buried in Fort Logan National Cemetery.

Mimi Nettrour

Local businesswoman wins prestigious award

Mimi Nettrour has received Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women’s prestigious Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg Crest Award in honor of her professional achievements. Mimi is a role model for women in business and her extensive career is an example of how women make a difference in the corporate world.

The Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg Crest Award is presented annually to distinguished alumnae of Pi Beta Phi who exhibit excellence and outstanding leadership in their career or volunteer service to their communities. The award is named for past Pi Beta Phi Grand President Carolyn Helman Lichtenberg, who was instrumental in forming Pi Beta Phi Foundation during her term from 1985 to 1991.

Crucial Fraternity initiatives, like leadership development programs and academic scholarships, are supported through the stewardship of the Foundation.

As a collegian, Nettrour took on a heavy course load, majoring in psychology, sociology and French, and still managed to find time to study abroad for one year. She then attended graduate school and earned a master’s degree in international management and business administration. Only 10 years after graduation, Mimi had worked her way up the corporate ladder to become a partner at the investment banking firm Boettcher and Company. Using her strong education and determination, Nettrour was able to grow her career path even further.

For 25 years, Nettrour worked for Morgan Stanley, Smith Barney, a Fortune 100 global financial services firm. She held many titles during those 25 years including: Vice President Wealth Management; Municipal Bond Office Coordinator; Mutual Fund Office Coordinator; and Colorado School of Mines Foundation Financial Advisor. Along the way, Mimi helped found the Women’s Foundation of Colorado and the Women’s Bank, Denver. She also held the position of World Affairs Council Member on the YWCA’s Financial Board.

The Bureau of Land Management Colorado State Office sold 111 parcels totaling 68,897 acres for $2.1 million including rentals and fees at its quarterly oil and gas lease sale. The highest per-acre price was for a 80-acre parcel in Bent County was sold to Martin Oil and Gas, in Uniontown PA for $300 per acre.

The State of Colorado will receive 49 percent of the proceeds of the sale, with the remainder going to the U.S. government. The State of Colorado received more than $158 million in Fiscal Year 2012 from royalties, rentals and bonus bid payments for all federal minerals, including oil and gas. BLM Colorado currently has approximately 4.2 million acres of public mineral estate leased for oil and natural gas development, generating more than $6.5 billion in direct economic benefits in 2011, and approximately $9.5 billion in total economic impacts.

A lease is the first step for a company or individual before eventually applying to develop and produce oil and gas from the BLMmanaged public mineral estate. Additional planning, environmental analysis and public input must occur before drilling.

Cherry Creek Schools Day at the Capitol Submitted by CCSD he complex issue of school finance and its impact on Cherry Creek schools and students was the hot topic during the Cherry Creek Schools Day at the Capitol on March 13. The annual event, sponsored by the Cherry Creek Community Legislative Network, brought three dozen citizens, district employees and the district’s legislative delegation together under the gold dome for discussion on legislative issues affecting public education.

Superintendent Mary Chesley and Board of Education President Jennifer Churchfield welcomed the group before members of Senator Mike Johnston’s staff provided a briefing on SB13-213, Johnston’s proposed school finance funding formula and ballot issue. The 170page measure has many modifications and technical changes to the current school finance formula and is being watched closely by educators and parents across Colorado.

The group also got an overview of higher education funding from Chad Marturano, Director of Legislative Affairs for Colorado Department of Higher Education. College costs continue to rise rapidly in

On a lighter note, several members of the district’s legislative delegation took time to honor Superintendent Chesley, who will be

I have decided as a parent and stakeholder in the district it is time to put my mouth where the money is so the wonderful leaders of the district can make decisions

retiring at the end of the school year.

Lawmakers also joined the group for further discussion over a working lunch.

Parents including Ilana Spiegel and Zhonette Brown felt it was important to participate.

“I attended because many of the decisions that are being made about our school, and more impor-

for what is best for our kids.”

“I attended for two main reasons,” said Brown. “First, I want to understand and be able to communicate to my community what is being contemplated for possible legislation that may have the most direct impact on our district and school. It is my hope that our community can be proactive rather than reactive by being informed. And, while I know that our administrators do a fantastic job in this regard, I believe they need the support of the full community. Second, I want our legislators to understand how important education policy is to the voters in our district, that it does impact our voting, and that they should govern and govern themselves accordingly.”

CCCLN is a non-partisan committee promoting awareness of education issues, legislation and the legislative process. In addition to the Day at the Capitol, the group hosts a Breakfast with Legislators in the fall, a Legislative Overview at the beginning of the session, and a Legislative Wrap-up at the end of the session. That event will be held from 9:30-11 am on Wednesday, May 8, at the Educational Services Center, 4700 S. Yosemite St., Greenwood Village.

Congratulations to CCSD Chess Champs

Submitted by CCSD A record 200-plus students, ranging from kindergarteners to high schoolers, participated in the Cherry Creek Schools Chess Tournament, a five round, non-elimination tournament, held March 2 at Overland High School.

Congratulations to these chess champions: Kindergarten - Caitlyn Chin, Challenge School First Grade - Neil Bhavikatti, Greenwood Elementary Second Grade - Shrihari Asokan, Fox Hollow Elementary Third Grade - Mukund Gurumurthi, Willow Creek Elementary Fourth Grade - Arjun Batra, Challenge School Fifth Grade - (tie) Siddarth Ijju, Challenge School and Niko Ioannides, Creekside Elementary Middle School - Daniel Ruvins, Cherry Creek Academy High School - David Kowal, Cherry Creek High School Todd Bardwick, a chess master, instructor and author, who coordinates the tournament, says the game of chess helps students develop many important cognitive skills, including concentration,

pattern recognition, decision making, algebraic and geometric thinking, problem-solving and spatial reasoning, which support academic achievement.

“Educators and parents have discovered that chess is a wonderful way to teach young children mathematical concepts and important thinking skills that they can use their entire life,” said Bardwick. “Chess also has connections to language arts standards such as reading, writing and oral presentation; social studies and geography skills including longitude, latitude and mapping; and science standards such as graphing and critical thinking.”

CCHS Winter Guard flying high heading into State Championships

T

he Cherry Creek High School Winter Guard is living up to the name of its 2013 show, called “Ascent.” The group has been moving up through the Winter Guard ranks.

“We won both of the shows in the preseason and were promoted to the next classification,” said Guard Instructor Mark Keating.

“We placed third out of 12 groups in our new classification at our competition on March 16. This is the best the guard has been in many years! I am starting to see the hard work pay off and the kids look so much more mature and confident this year.”

The group of 16 girls is preparing for the Colorado Winter Guard State Championships, which will be held on Saturday, April 6, at Legend High School, located at 22219 Hilltop Drive in Parker. Creek is expected to perform between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.rmcga.org.

The song, Ascent, written by Peter Kater, is about the freedom of flight and the guard members, dressed as aviators, twirl propellers along with flags, rifles and sabers.

They practice long hours, but say the hard work is worth it.

“Joining winter guard was one

of the smartest things I ever did,” said freshman guard member Gabi Cantor. “We are all each others’ best friends. Going in to the end of the season it is exciting because we have been performing well and we were elevated a competition level but it is sad because of the seniors who will be leaving Creek. Guard has taught me a lot and I am really glad to be part of this amazing team!”
