On Mother’s Day, ovarian cancer survivor Nancy Intagliata will be joined by two of her three children and three of her four grandsons as the family celebrates the special occasion. Four weeks later, the number of extended family members and friends coming together to cheer her on will swell to more than 100 when the “Nancy’s So Ovary It” team, organized

by Intagliata’s daughter Kimberly Danielson, participates in the Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance’s Jodi’s Race for Awareness.

This is the fifth year for the race, which will take place in Denver’s City Park on Saturday, June 7.

“It’s a fun day,” said Intagliata. “We look forward to it every year.”

The 2014 Race for Awareness will be the third consecutive time the former teacher and her team participate in the annual event.

Like many women, Intagliata did not know when she began experiencing bloating and feelings of fullness that these are among the common symptoms of ovarian cancer. In September 2011, her diagnosis was stage 3c of the disease that is the fifth most common cancer in females in the United States and the deadliest gynecologic cancer. Two and a half years later, Intagliata remains positive amid clinical trials, chemo cycles and the care of gynecologic oncologist Dr. Kevin P. Davis, M.D. “It hasn’t been an all-bad thing,” admits Intagliata, who

does not have a family history of ovarian cancer and is not a carrier of the BRCA gene. “It has made me even closer to my family and you truly get to see the goodness and generosity of people. I’ve made good friends, kept good friends and reconnected with good friends.”

She describes her husband, Mike, as her rock and her children as very caring. “I’m really proud of them,” she said.

Intagliata credits her daughter with getting the family involved in Jodi’s Race for Awareness.

Danielson and her husband are active runners who support worthy causes. Following her mother’s diagnosis, she “wanted to do something forward thinking and positive – to start a team for the fun of it.”

“I love this race,” says Danielson. “It really does so much for my parents.”

She did not envision “Nancy’s So Ovary It” would grow from just family to “amazingly huge;” their group included more than 100 runners and walkers of all ages at the 2013 COCA event.

Nonetheless, Danielson is justifiably pleased with the results.

The team has raised more than $23,000 in the last two years – and is off to a strong start in 2014, with more than $10,000 collected by mid-April, eight weeks before race day.

“I think it’s going to be a great year,” Danielson said.

Both Intagliata and Danielson, the mother of three young boys, keep busy in the weeks prior to Jodi’s Race for Awareness. Intagliata writes a personal thank you note to everyone who contributes

to their fundraising efforts, while team captain Danielson sends frequent emails to generate enthusiasm as well as additional race registrations and donations.

Intagliata describes the annual COCA event as a good race.

“It’s very well organized and they give you so much information,” she said. “Hopefully we can get awareness out there so more lives can be saved. Ninety percent of women don’t know the symptoms of ovarian cancer (bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency).”

The first Race for Awareness, in June 2010, was inspired by Colorado native Jodi Brammeier, who was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008. The young wife and mother believed she would have discovered the cancer earlier if she had been more aware of the symptoms. A runner herself, it became Brammeier’s goal to establish a race to raise awareness about ovarian cancer so that other women might find their cancer earlier and stand a chance to win against the deadly disease.

“Our family is so thankful to COCA and to this race,” said Danielson. “What we have gained from this is great. We are so thankful to have it and we feel so privileged and blessed to contribute. It’s an honor to support my mother is this special and meaningful way. She is the best.”

Spring Checklist Step outside and say goodbye to winter

By Brenda Bruce, Loan Specialist, Denver Urban Renewal Authority Denver residents have enjoyed relatively mild weather these past several weeks. Temperatures have been in the 50s, 60s and even in the 70s, offering a real spring in 2014. With the flowers set to bloom and winter all but guaranteed to be behind us, there’s no better time to step outside and give your home a quick inspection to make sure that it – and you – are ready for summer.

Here are a five outdoor items that should be on your spring checklist to ensure you’re in good shape as the warmer weather settles in to stay.

Roof. Grab your ladder (or borrow one from a friendly neighbor) and inspect for any damage that might have resulted from the winter snows. Look in particular for missing or broken shingles. A damaged roof can lead to costly leaks, so if you see anything of concern, it is important to call a professional to assess the damage and make any necessary repairs immediately.

Chimney. Now that the cold is behind us, it’s time to close up the chimney for another season.

While examining the roof, take a look at the chimney’s exterior for any signs of damage. Also call a certified chimney sweep to have the flue cleaned and inspected so that it will be ready to go next year.

Gutters. The fall foliage has long-since fallen, and now its time to make sure that it is cleared away as the trees blos-

som anew. Clean your gutters to make sure that there aren’t any leaves, twigs or other debris clogging up the works and make sure water is diverting properly away from the house.

Caulking.

Since your house’s foundation may have shifted with the temperature, now is the time to inspect the caulk that seals the gaps between your home’s windows and doors. The caulk should not be loose or flaking, and if it is then it is time to replace it. Caulk can be bought at any home improvement store, and is a smart investment as that it keeps the inside of the home insulated from weather fluctuations outside.

Exterior Faucets. You need to check the outside hose faucets for any freeze damage. Quickly turn the water on and place two fingers to cover the opening; if you can stop the flow of water, the cold might have gotten to your pipes. You’ll need to call a plumber to be sure. Also, go ahead and check the garden hose for any mold or rot. If you see any, time to invest in a new one.

Hopefully, you will find that your roof, doors and pipes all survived the winter without harm. Even if you do find signs of damage, don’t worry. A good contractor will be able to make any necessary repairs and have your home in good shape in plenty of time to enjoy another gorgeous Colorado summer.

If you are a low or moderateincome Denver homeowner, contact DURA for more information about funding for home repairs or upgrades through our Emergency Home Repair and Single Family Rehabilitation programs at 303-534-3872 or www.renewenver.org.

Energy Outreach Colorado, Girls Inc. partner to save energy Girls Inc. of Metro Denver can increase its budget for programs to empower girls and women, thanks to recent energy efficiency improvements at its Denver headquarters made through Energy Outreach Colorado’s Nonprofit Energy Efficiency Program.

The $55,000 in improvements installed at 1498 and 1499 Julian Street in Denver were co-funded by the Denver Office of Strategic Partnerships and Xcel Energy, and included: • High efficiency lighting in classrooms, offices and the building exterior • 14 water faucet aerators and 4 restroom vacancy sensors • Replacement of three refrigerators and a freezer with high-efficiency appliances • New air conditioning unit for the server room “These upgrades are lowering our energy bills, reducing maintenance costs and allowing the organization to direct more funds toward serving our girls in programs,” said Sonya Ulibarri, president of Girls Inc. of Metro Denver. “In addition, we are educating the girls we serve about the importance of being energy efficient, both onsite and at home. Teaching our girls not only encourages them to conserve while they are onsite, but also empowers them to teach their family members

at home the importance of being energy efficient.”

Hilary Taylor, NEEP manager at Energy Outreach, said the project’s energy savings in the three months since the upgrades were installed are “out of the park,” including a 56 percent decrease in electric use at 1498 Julian St. “Since their overall savings for three months is $2,400, they should have some great overall savings annually,” she said.

NEEP will continue to track and compare energy consumption and costs throughout the year following installation. In addition, Girls Inc. staff is looking at ways to conserve energy in their facilities, such as turning off lights, computer monitors and power strips when not in use.

The 2014 Infiniti Q60 Coupe will quicken any pulse

By Don Bain The sports coupe model formerly referred to as the Infiniti G 37 has been renamed the Q 60 Coupe and the Q foreshadows the quickening of the pulse as 330 horses propel the gorgeous car from the line.

Or perhaps it stands for the fictional Quickening, the absorption of pure life force, as you may get in touch with your inner Highlander – put another way, this is a driving experience that will make a spirited driver feel very much alive.

The body is so beautifully curvaceous, the unfettered man might propose marriage at first sight were it only a woman. Certainly, we would not have minded it sticking around quite a while longer.

For that matter, driving this quick little coupe is nearly as much fun as anything two people can do behind closed doors – or anywhere else for that matter.

The 3.7-liter DOHC 245-valve V6 engine with its fancy computer enhanced internal mapping, accelerates smartly from a light and prefers to run dead out rather than pussyfooting around.

The 270 ft.-lbs. of torque produced by the power plant are channeled through a quick-shifting seven-speed transmission. It comes with a Drive Sport mode and paddle shifters, but unless you drive in NASCAR events, chances are the computer can shift quicker and far more efficiently.

It’s the old story of John Henry and the Pile-Driving Machine.

Humans can keep up for a short while, but sooner or later the machine (make that the computer today) will outperform the human being.

The crisp tracking, handling and cornering result from a bril-

liant all-wheel-drive architecture, four wheel independent suspension, plus front and rear stabilizers. It even has a system that keeps the front end from rising up when the coupe takes off rapidly.

Eighteen-inch alloy wheels complete the exterior image of the Q60 coupe, but this beauty has a soulful interior as well. The entire cabin is covered with soft materials that embrace the body and intuitive controls and technology to engage the mind. Leather covered heated seats grace the front seats in an interior where craftsmanship is evident all around, right down to the stitching of the steering wheel and the shifter skirt.

A 12-way adjustable drivers seat includes 4-way lumbar support while thigh and torso bolster provide the perfect cockpit for

spirited driving.

The high contrast LED gauges are easy on the eyes and eminently legible. Phone pairing and navigation is easy to accomplish while the audio system comes standard with a 6-speaker BOSE stereo, but an awesome 11-speaker premium system is optional.

Granted this is a coupe and so the back seat is more for packages than passengers, but it is large enough for young children.

Somehow we don’t think the buyers of this car are especially concerned with the back seat.

The trunk does have space for the gear two adults would need to travel for the weekend or a short touring vacation.

An interesting and increasingly common feature comes with what Infiniti terms Brake Assist

with preview braking. The same sonar system that enables the Intelligent Cruise Control can sense if a preceding vehicle starts to rapidly slow down, so the brakes are prepared in anticipation of emergency braking.

The AWD model also has a snow mode, making it far more practical for use in Colorado.

Despite its tendency to spirited performance, the little coupe still gets a combined efficiency rating of 20-mpg, ranging from 18 in the city to up to 25-mpg on the open road.

Of course, when you pick a car for performance, you give up a bit of green cachet, but this coupe is on the fence, hitting the halfway point in the EPA’s rating of CO2 and particulate emissions.

In terms of value, the 2014 In-

finiti Q60 AWD is a lot of car and technology for a mere $52,055 delivered – that includes nearly $10K in options. These add some very sensible and desirable aspects to the car. Things like intelligent cruise, rear sonar, rain-sensing wipers, power moonroof, that awesome stereo, 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels, sport suspension tuning, maple wood accents and a whole suite of voice controlled navigation and telematics features.

Having driven recent models of the Nissan 370Z Nismo, both coupe and convertible, we find the 2014 Infiniti Q60 Coupe far cooler than the Z-car. It’s the Z dressed up for the Prom and we don’t mean just a corsage. We’re talking about the full formal dress version of a very sexy sports coupe.

Join Denver Public Works and learn to compost for free Free classes offered now through October

Transporting Tomorrow Today!

Learn how easy it is to make compost in your backyard from food scraps and yard waste at Denver Recycles’ and Denver Urban Gardens’ free Learn to Compost classes. Making your own compost not only improves your lawn and garden, but it also saves you money, reduces the amount of materials you send to the landfill, and increases your overall soil quality. Classes start at the end of April and are offered until the middle of October at the Denver Compost Demonstration Site located in the Gove Community Garden at 13th and Colorado Boulevard.

Each hands-on, two-hour Learn to Compost class teaches the basics of backyard composting. Special in-depth Worm Workshops and Build-a-Pile classes are also offered.

• Worm Workshops focus on vermicomposting (worm composting) and will be held once each month, May through October.

• Build-a-Pile classes give participants hands-on experience building an entire compost pile, including incorporating different

ingredients, chopping materials, watering and turning the pile.

Five Build-a-Pile classes will be held throughout the season.

Class registration is first come, first served. Registration for each class opens one month prior to the class date. Pre-registration is required to attend the classes. For a complete list of class dates and times, visit DenverGov.org/DenverRecycles.

Composting is a fun, easy activity that allows the whole family to participate in recycling and results in a nourishing soil amendment that holds moisture in the soil for extended periods of time. Compost also opens clay soils, allowing better drainage, and closes sandy soils, preventing water from leaching away too quickly.

Organic materials like leaves, branches, grass clippings and food scraps make up more than half of what Denver residents send to the landfill every year.

You can help reduce that amount by learning how to compost these items in your backyard and help your plants, lawn and garden thrive!

To review the class schedule and register for a class, go online to www.dug.org/compost or call 303-292-9900.

OPINION

– DENVER –

Purnima Voria and India Chamber hosts Sen. Warner like every political leader, but he is an exceptional individual with a big KINDLING Sen. Warner, D-Virginia, heart.

By Robert Sweeney

I expressed my admiration for Ambassador Sam Zakhem last week and the encounter that occurred with Saudi Prince Bander.

Ambassador Zakhem’s mother was from Argentina and his father from Lebanon. Zakhem speaks at least five languages fluently, including Arabic. During his tour in Bahrain during Desert Storm, he lived in the city among the people and not in the secured Embassy. He opened doors for the U.S. Navy fleet that had never been welcomed before his arrival.

He is a world traveler, a scholar holding a Ph.D. from the University of Colorado, and an honorary doctorate from the American University in Cairo, Egypt.

Zakhem has friends and foes

He has a large family living in Denver and one of three sons, John Zakhem, is a lot like his father.

A very successful lawyer, he has just merged his law firm with a larger national law firm, Jackson Kelley PLLC, with offices across America, including Washington, D.C. Both John and Sam are members of the National Indian Chamber of Commerce founded here in Denver.

The organization has more than 300 corporations that have an interest or do business in India from Colorado.

The Indian Chamber of Commerce is chaired by an amazing energetic leader, Purnima Voria, an Indian/American, who works very hard to develop business and cultural relationships between the United States and India.

The National India Chamber has been located with John’s offices and have now moved with John to the offices of Jackson Kelly PLLC, located at 1099 18th St. Suite 2150.

You should be aware that India is the largest democracy in the world and has a population to rival China somewhere around 1.2 billion people.

This past Friday, Purnima hosted U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, former governor of Virginia and the co-chair of

the Senate India Caucus, to the new headquarters.

Having an interest in “democracies” and the Indian Chamber and a close relationship to the Zakhem family, I was invited to the intimate India roundtable discussion with Warner.

Traveling to India in 2013 with Villager friend and colleague Jim Pilon, our feature on India and the Taj Mahal won first place in editorial sections from the Colorado Press Association award contest last year.

Senator Warner leads a 40-member Senate caucus group that includes Colorado Sen. Michael Bennett and 100 members from the House.

The senator related that relationships with India had some bumps in the road in recent months over diplomatic visa issues in New York City.

He stated that President Obama would be naming a new ambassador to India in the near future.

India is currently undergoing a national election that extends for months across the vast nation. He

related that more than 200,000 Indians hold United States passports and have studied and worked in the U.S. before returning home.

There was considerable interest in water issues and water health, which was represented by Jacquline Lundquist Celeste, who’s husband Dick Celeste was the U.S. Ambassador to India prior to becoming now retired president of Colorado College in Colorado Springs.

The conference room was festively decorated in stylish Indian culture with Purnima’s selection of ample and delicious Indian cuisine.

John Zakhem thanked Sen. Warner for attending and welcomed the group to the new office headquarters.

The staff at the law firm was outstanding and was led by Laura Hackney and the very hospitable Kim Alcorn, front desk operative who greeted guests so warmly.

Those with interest in joining the Indian Chamber may contact Purnima at Purnima@nuicc.org or www.

Children Día del Niño celebrated at Denver Museum of Nature and Science The Denver Museum of Nature & Science partnered with the Mexican Cultural Center and the Consulate General of Mexico in Denver, April 26, to host a Día del Niño celebration for its SCFD Free Day. In addition to free general admission for all visitors, the celebration included music and dance performances by Los Chinelos, Mexico Mixto, Danza Guadalupana Matachina, and El Sistema, a children’s music ensemble; face painting; crafts; a visit from Dinger, the Colorado Rockies mascot; and a museumwide scavenger hunt. As part of the celebration, children – 17 and younger – get in free to enjoy the temporary exhibition Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed temporary exhibit with a paying adult through May 5.

“We are so grateful to the Mexican Cultural Center and the Consulate General of Mexico in Denver for their partnership,” said George Sparks, president and CEO of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. “Día del Niño is a wonderful opportunity to inspire our youngest guests’ scientific curiosity through a rich experience at the Museum with our own programs and the performing troupes brought in by the Mexican Cultural Center and the Consulate General of Mexico.”

Carlo J. Bello, Consul General of Mexico in Denver; Romaine Pacheco, state director of the Governor’s Office of Boards and Commissions on behalf of Gov. John Hickenlooper; Mayor Michael B. Hancock; and Councilman Albus Brooks. Councilwoman Deborah Ortega and Denver Public Schools Chief Academic Officer Susana Cordova attended the event.

Dia Del Niño was originally thought up and started by President Oberon in 1924. By 1954 this day was celebrated by the world on Nov. 20. In 1959, by using the example of the celebration, the UN issued a decree that would insure the basic human rights of children worldwide.

diarrhea. Wearing gloves, long sleeves, shoes, and eye protection is highly recommended when in contact with myrtle spurge, as all plant parts are considered poisonous.

This nasty weed, aka donkeytail spurge or creeping spurge, is a low growing perennial with trailing fleshy stems which spreads rapidly to surrounding areas and can “jump the fence” to natural areas to displace native vegetation and reduce forage for wildlife. The leaves are fleshy, blue-green and alternate and the flowers are bright yellow-green, petal-like bracts that appear from March to May. Unfortunately, it is commonly found in Denver and the surrounding areas and has become a serious problem in the foothills and mountain ecosystems.

For more information, citizens are urged to contact the Denver Natural Areas Program at 720913-0644 or visit www.colorado.gov/ag and search “myrtle spurge” and check out the Purge Your Spurge Facebook page.

Your Weekly Horoscope – By Gren Chatworth

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) Gemini is now entering a great period of financial gain.

If you are thinking of selling your real estate – do so as there is money to be made. Enjoy it while you can.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) You will find there are opportunities all around you, but first you must open your eyes. Remember a rolling stone gathers no moss, and besides you have never sat still before. Get moving!

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22) It would seem that you would be changing your residence in the near future. Everything looks good, but be sure you have all the legal ends tied up before signing the papers.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) You’re probably putting out of some situation or other that might have caused you considerable trouble.

The Planets are now giving you far more benefit than they have for some time.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Tremendous opportunities are all around you at this time. This situation will continue for the next week, so don’t sit back, grab the changes for improvement now.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) You are a gambler at heart, but don’t go overboard.

You have a hard time to contain your gambling fever but watch your step. Be most cautious.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) A very harmonious aspect is now in effect with your solar sign. Harmony, especially around the home will be felt. You relatives have never been easier to cope with.

PISCES (Feb 19 – March 20) The general advice of astrology right now for Pisces is “take it easy!” No matter how hard you try, you can’t speed up the planets in the zodiac. This adverse aspect won’t last to long.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) There could be some very sad snags in your social life, but it just might be a blessing in disguise. Always look to the bright side. Remember every cloud really does have a silver lining.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Business is very predominating at this time. Don’t take your mind off it for one minute this week. Others may have fun but you tend to business. It will pay off for you.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) Your past life will come to the present now. People that you haven’t seen for a long time will be in your presence. Enjoy these moments and enjoy the memories as they unfold for you.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) An exciting holiday or trip may be in the future for you, around the beginning of next year. Start your planning now and make all the necessary arrangements. It will be a trip to remember.

The 50-year mission of Nichelle Nichols Enduring ‘Star Trek’ actress at DTC’s StarFest this weekend

By Peter Jones A kiss is just kiss ... unless it happens to be network television’s first interracial kiss.

“While we were doing it, Bill Shatner was joking. He said, ‘I told you I’m going to get to kiss you.’ The next thing you know, there was this thing about it,” actress Nichelle Nichols said.

The controversial kiss between Nichols and William Shatner on Star Trek may seem quaint nearly 50 years later. But in 1968, the prospect of an openly interracial kiss on network television seemed as distant as intergalactic travel.

NBC brass even considered pulling the kiss for fear of offending viewers in the South. Racial tensions were at their height on Nov. 22, 1968, when “Plato’s Stepchildren,” the episode that saw Capt. Kirk famously plant a space-age smooch on Lt. Uhuru, first aired. At the time, the United States was still reeling from Martin Luther King’s assassination seven months earlier. The kiss occurred on a Hollywood soundstage three years after race riots across town in Watts had also shocked many TV viewers.

Nichols laughs when she recites — in a Southern accent — the gist of a letter that series’ creator Gene Roddenberry received after the kiss episode first aired.

“I’m opposed to the mixin’ of the races,” she said in a drawl. “But anytime a red-blooded American boy like Capt. Kirk gets a gal in his arms that looks like Lt. Uhuru, he ain’t gonna fight it.”

Nichols will kiss and tell more at the StarFest convention, May 2-4, at the Marriott Denver Tech Center and the Denver Hilton Garden Inn across the street.

actress reconsidered on what she calls the direct “orders” of Martin Luther King Jr. “You cannot!” the civil-rights leader demanded when he heard of her plans to quit the show. “Can’t you see what [Roddenberry] is trying to achieve here?”

Nichols was stopped in her tracks, dumbfounded.

“He tells me what an important television series it is and it’s one of the only shows he allowed his children to stay up for,” she said.

Nichols remembers Roddenberry’s response when she told him she would not be turning in her Star Fleet uniform after all.

“God bless Dr. King,” the producer said as a tear ran down his cheek. “Somebody knows what I’m trying to do.”

“All hailing frequencies open, Captain.”

Nichelle Nichols nearly jumped ship after the first season until Martin Luther King “ordered” her back to her station.

The kiss-off

Nichelle Nichols, best known as Star Trek’s Lt. Uhuru, will beam into the Denver Tech Center this weekend for StarFest.

Where no woman had gone before

Despite her full mane of gray hair, Nichols looks at least a decade younger than her 81 years. It was nearly a half century ago that the actress first launched the role that would make her the pin-up darling of the Trekkie set.

Nichols, a singer who performed with Count Basie and Lionel Hampton in her native Chicago, was sometimes given the opportunity to sing on

Star Trek. But Roddenberry did not want any standard 20th century phrasing from the songstress.

“It was more ethereal,” Nichols said. “He didn’t want it to be jazz, blues or Broadway pop, but to take it to the stars, if you will.”

Although she initially resisted auditioning for the part of the leggy communications officer, Nichols was soon a convert to Roddenberry’s vision of a socially conscious 22ndcentury starship, epitomized by the lieutenant’s name Uhuru being the

Swahili word for “freedom.” According to Nichols, the producer’s original idea was to simply stage “amazing stories” of utopian idealism.

“He wanted to write about the human condition, including men and women and people of all races as equals,” she said. “The studio said, ‘Gene, the world isn’t ready for what you’re talking about — maybe in 300 years.’ So Gene smiled, said thank you and set the whole thing 300 years in the future on a starship.”

During the Enterprise’s proverbial five-year mission (but only a brief three seasons on the air), the ship traversed through a range of contemporary universes — from racism to war — but all from the relative safety of a science-fiction context.

In one episode, an interplanetary figure whose face was half-white and half-black was locked in a deadly battle with his antagonist — a man whose face had the same colors, but on the opposite sides.

“It was something that we were all really proud to be a part of. The cast would sit and talk about the story lines. It was something exciting,” Nichols said.

At the end of the first season, however, Nichols was ready to beam her way back into musical theater. She had not considered the show’s social significance in her decision. But the

Nichols’ memories of Shatner are not as sentimental. When it comes down to it, the actress did not think much of the historic kiss — or the kisser for that matter.

“Over the years, Bill became very self-involved,” she said. “He would go to the director and have your lines cut. It was grossly disrespectful.”

According to Nichols, insult met injury when Shatner claimed in his autobiography that the famous kiss never happened, that it had been fudged for the camera — a contention vehemently denied by Nichols.

The actress says she got revenge of a sort some years ago when some of her fellow cast members reunited for a comic roast of the former Capt.

Kirk.

“I looked at Bill and said, ‘Let’s give history another chance,’” Nichols recalled. “Bill just sat there. Then he pulled himself out of his chair and forced himself to get up.”

The room erupted in a standing ovation when Nichols wryly told Shatner where he could kiss her this time.

“I broke up laughing,” she said. “It took me 40 years to tell [him] what I really thought about him.”

Local senior living leader creates 2 new companies to better serve older adults Christian Living Communities, a Colorado, faith-based, notfor-profit senior care and services organization, has restructured by launching a new parent company, Christian Living Ventures, which focuses on mergers, acquisitions and affiliations with other senior care organization to create more affordable senior housing.

Christian Living Ventures will be a 501(c)3 not-for-profit and allows the leaders of the organization to expand its mission of enriching the lives of seniors by helping other not-for-profits in need of guidance.

The organizational restructure also creates a new sister company, Christian Living Services, a taxable not-for-profit that offers consulting and management services to nonowned communities. This com-

pany allows CLC, a highly sought after industry leader in senior services, to share its more than 40 years of excellent operational expertise with both not-for-profit and for-profit entities.

Christian Living Services was recently brought on to be the operating partner of Rosemark at Mayfair Park, a 72,000 square-foot, 88-unit assisted living/memory support senior care community that is scheduled to open in the Denver Mayfair neighborhood in mid2015. The project developer, Rosemark Development Group selected CLS from half a dozen potential partners because of its excellent reputation.

The creation of both companies is a direct response to the needs of the ‘Silver Tsunami,’ the term used describe aging baby boom-

ers. The number of people 65-plus will double between 2010 and 2050 and the number of those 85 or older increasing four fold. Between 2000 and 2010, for the first time in Colorado, the 65-plus population grew at a faster rate than the state population: 32 percent compared with 17 percent. Whether it is creating more affordable senior housing or partnering in the management of more senior housing, this new structure positions the trio of companies to serve more older adults than ever before.

All the while, Christian Living Communities will continue its excellent track record of providing a full continuum of services and care to older adults and their families in the south Denver area with its three retirement communities, Clermont Park, Holly Creek

and Someren Glen and through its two adult day services and home care services. In all, CLC touches the lives of nearly 1,000 seniors a day. Day to day operations of CLC (with a $50 million budget) will not change, employees and residents can expect business as usual, excellent care and services delivered with dignity, respect and compassion – the heart of the organization’s mission.

Christian Living Ventures President and CEO (also CLC President & CEO) Russ Den Braber said, “Christian Living Communities is an obligated group, meaning all of the revenues must stay together.

This new structure protects CLC from risk but allows us to share our vast knowledge base and operational excellence with other organizations that we may acquire, affili-

ate with, manage or consult with.

This reorganization positions us as a family of companies that is flexible and able to enrich the lives of more seniors than ever before.”

With the creation of the additional companies two new board of directors have been created and a couple of key staff members have received promotions. Camille Thompson, formerly the CLC vicepresident and COO is now the CEO of Christian Living Services. Cindy Hogan, formerly the CLC executive director of Research and Strategy is now the Christian Living Communities vice-president and COO.

CenturyLink employees volunteer for largest single ‘JA in a Day’ in Colorado 160+ employees teach 2,500+ students across Front Range

CenturyLink, Inc. partnered with Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain, Inc. to create the largest single “JA in a Day” event in Colorado, now in its 12th year. As part of the company’s “100,000 Hour Colorado Community Pledge,” more than 160 CenturyLink employees taught in 110 Denver area classrooms using Junior Achievement’s financial literacy curriculum. CenturyLink volunteers taught at five Denverarea schools, including College View Elementary, Centennial K-8, Doull Elementary, Bill Roberts K-6, and Stellar Elementary.

Using Junior Achievement’s lesson plans, CenturyLink employees volunteered more than 1,500 hours to teach students in kindergarten through eighth grade, preparing more than 2,500 students to succeed in a global economy. The lesson plans focus on three areas: entrepreneurship, financial literacy and work readiness.

“CenturyLink volunteers truly look forward to ‘JA in a Day’ because it provides a unique opportunity to leverage our considerable business expertise to inspire Colorado’s future leaders in the classroom,” said Scott Russell, vice president and general manager for CenturyLink in Denver and northern Colorado.

“As we march toward our goal of 100,000 hours volunteered in Colorado this year, CenturyLink employees are proud to work with Junior Achievement and help create a brighter future for

Colorado.”

The Junior Achievement curriculum is catered to specific grade levels. For example, kindergarteners learn about personal budgeting using stories about helping, working, earning and saving, while eighth graders may tackle key aspects of the global economy, what makes world trade work, and how trade affects students’ lives.

“CenturyLink continues to be one of our strongest partners in the community, and we are very grateful for their continued support, year after year,” said Robin Wise, president and CEO of Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain, Inc. “Junior Achievement is able to make a significant impact on the lives of Colorado’s young people thanks to the dedication and support of organizations like CenturyLink, and we applaud their efforts to volunteer 100,000 hours in the community this year.”

Junior Achievement’s programs are independently tested and proven to make a significant impact. The programs align with the State of Colorado’s standards in social studies and personal financial literacy, in addition to several standards in mathematics and English language arts. To date, Junior Achievement’s programs have resulted in an approximate 21 percent knowledge gain throughout all districts on topics such as global competition, business ethics and needs and wants.

Drought or no drought, smart water use is essential Denver Water’s summer watering rules begin May 1 After responding to multiple years of drought conditions, Denver Water stresses the importance of using water efficiently, regardless of the weather.

“We just came out of a severe drought, and our customers did a great job of answering our call to save even more water than usual last year,” said Greg Fisher, Denver Water’s manager of demand planning. “But, water conservation isn’t a drought response; it must be a permanent way of life for all of us.”

To help eliminate outdoor water waste, Denver Water implements annual summer water use rules, which begin May 1.

Watering rules, which help facilitate smart irrigation, include: Water during cooler times of the day – lawn watering is NOT allowed between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Water no more than three days per week.

Do not allow water to pool in gutters, streets and alleys.

Do not waste water by letting it spray on concrete or asphalt.

Repair leaking sprinkler systems within 10 days.

Do not irrigate while it is raining or during high winds.

Use a hose nozzle with a shutoff valve when washing your car.

“The landscape may be green, but that doesn’t mean it needs a lot of water.” said Jeff Tejral, Denver Water’s manager of conservation. “Typically, early in the irrigation season, two days of watering a week will be enough.”

Denver Water will have a team of nine Water Savers out in the community to provide customers with tips and tools for watersaving practices this summer.

Water Savers will also respond to reports of water waste. To report water waste, call Denver Water at 303-893-2444, and if you see waste in one of Denver’s parks, call 3-1-1.

“Many times people are either unaware of a rule or something happened to their irrigation system, like a broken sprinkler head, and they appreciate being notified of the issue,” said Tejral.

“We’ll send out a Water Saver as a friendly way to work with customers to help them locate and address any problems.”

Friends of Horses Rescue & Adoption fundraiser is May 2 Friends of Horses Rescue & Adoption will be holding its annual Wine Sip and Silent Auction on Friday, May 2, at 6351 S. Peoria St. in Centennial. This event was a huge success last year and a good time was had by all. More importantly, the money raised was able to fill a substantial gap in the budget. Last year’s funds allowed FOH to pay for much needed veterinary services, helped to purchase hay during the winter price increases, and the endless maintenance and repairs on work vehicles.

FOHRAA, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, is dedicated to rescuing good horses and adopting them to good homes, therapeutic riding and community service. With more than 159 horses currently being cared for, FOHRAA is not a “typical” rescue. They offer a full service riding facility, with indoor and out-

door arenas, riding lessons (jumping, western, therapeutic, dressage, and English) at all levels, and access to Cherry Creek State Park. In addition to horse adoption, they also offer the option to lease a horse on a monthly basis as well as private boarding.

They are an organization that provides assistance to animals and people in the community. In the past 12 years, they have saved thousands of horses from the treacherous trip to the slaughter houses in Mexico and Canada. In 2013 they rescued 67, of which 10 were euthanized and 50 were adopted out.

FOHRAA has also rescued 10 goats and 15 chickens. Last year they had 100+ volunteers come through and more than 300 people for community service. At all times FOHRAA has 50 horses on property available for adoption.
