Arapahoe sheriff backs guns lawsuit Robinson opposes magazine restriction, supports background checks

A

By Peter Jones ll but 10 of Colorado’s 64 sheriffs – including Arapahoe County’s Grayson Robinson – have signed onto a federal civilrights lawsuit that challenges state gun restrictions passed this year in the wake of several mass shootings.

Last week, many of those elected sheriffs announced their intentions during a press conference at the offices of the Independence Institute, a right-leaning Denver-based think tank whose attorney is leading the sheriffs’ legal challenge.

At issue are two bills passed by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly and signed into law this spring by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Both go into effect July 1. The laws limit the size of ammunition magazines to 15 rounds and extend background checks to most private sales, closing the so-called “gun show

The Villager recently asked Robinson, who was out of town and did not attend the press conference, to expand on his own positions.

Villager: You disagree with 50 percent of this lawsuit, but you support it.

Robinson: I supported the general background checks for the key purpose of identifying someone who has mental-health issues, a restraining order, alcohol or drug abuse – I don’t want them armed. But the high-capacity magazine [restriction] is a problem. Even the governor at several points in the process admitted that this was probably an unenforceable law. I would have preferred that [the two issues] were separated [in the lawsuit], but that wasn’t possible.

If I were in town, I would not have gone to the press conference because I don’t believe this should become a media event. I think this should go through the process the founders established and find out what the judicial branch says about the efforts of the legislative branch.

Englewood Schools goes digital District distributes iPads, graduates its first ‘digital student’

By Peter Jones Englewood Schools has graduated into the 21st century.

As Englewood readies for a stateof-the-art combined middle school/ high school campus that is slated to open early next year, the once-beleaguered school district is making technological strides that few could have predicted.

Beginning in the fall, every elementary and middle school student in the district – 2,000 in total – will receive a district-issued iPad for use at school, home and anywhere else the learning takes them.

Plans call for high school kids to eventually receive the devices too.

The move follows a pilot program in Englewood middle schools – one that saw such widespread appreciation that not a single student lost or damaged their device. Englewood Leadership Academy, the district’s admission-based middle school, uses iPads exclusively, completely eschewing traditional pen, paper and notebook.

As evidence of the evolving trend, this month Englewood High School graduated its first-ever all-digital student. Senior Carly Sellaro did all of her school assignments – homework, tests, projects – on an electronic device, even scanning those old-fashioned worksheets and handouts onto her well-worn iPad. District spokeswoman Julie McGinley expects more students to follow in Sellaro’s footsteps as district iPads become as commonplace as backpacks and binders.

“We’re trying to move more toward 21st century learning,” McGinley said. “We’re going to have much more of a focus on technology just because it’s become so important in today’s

Powder scare proves benign, Littleton officials say Woman brought mysterious package to city offices

By Peter Jones Although the content of a mysterious white powder brought to Littleton city offices last week remained unknown, it was evidently harmless, whatever it was.

Tests on the substance were inconclusive, according to police and fire officials, but Hazmat technicians ultimately determined it to be benign.

According to the city, a Littleton woman brought a suspicious FedEx package to the city’s police department on May 14. She said the package had been delivered to her home from an unknown address in Indiana.

Police quickly sealed the substance, which was immediately taken out of the building. The woman was also taken outside for precautionary decontamination by a Hazmat team from Littleton Fire Rescue and South Metro Fire Rescue.

The Littleton Center, 2255 W. Berry St., which houses the police department and other offices of city government, was not evacuated.

The FBI took the substance for further identification. A representative from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service also responded to the incident.

Carly Sellaro is graduating from Englewood High School this month as the school district’s first all-digital student, meaning she did all of her schooling on an iPad. This fall, Englewood Schools will distribute iPads to all 2,000 of its elementary and middle school students.

workplace and because kids like it and we want to keep them engaged.”

The effort is also designed to enhance reading in a district that has sometimes struggled with at-risk populations. Each of the district-issued iPads will be equipped with a personalized literacy program called the myON reader.

As many as 3,000 books – fiction, nonfiction and textbooks – will be available for download on the device, which tracks a student’s reading interests and ability to understand. Among other features, the myON defines words for students when needed, recommends other books of similar subject and tests the student’s comprehension at the end of each chapter.

“Without a teacher having to go to a child and test them to see what their level is, this tool does that regularly,” McGinley said. “It graphs it and makes charts so a teacher will know if a certain student is struggling, so they can hopefully put some interventions in place sooner than later.”

Children without home Internet access will not be left out. Students can download as many as 20 books at a time while at school and read them anywhere they want.

“We’re hoping this levels the playing field so kids who might not have as much access to reading at home will have the same amount of access,” McGinley said. “If we had those 3,000 books in the library, only one student could read each book at a time. That limits the amount of reading that the kids can do.”

What’s more, because standard textbooks are part of the myON library, the district will save money on purchasing them for every student.

The $1.1 million initiative is being made possible in large part by the Morgridge Family Foundation, which has pledged more than $100,000 toward the effort. The rest of the money is coming from a technology-oriented bond fund and from the district’s general-fund reserves.

Sellaro, the district’s first all-digital graduate, may be the sign of things to come. For the Englewood High School student-body president, it was just a matter of wanting to cut through the clutter of papers, folders and notebooks. The 21st century learner was often ahead of her teachers, who were not as proficient in the digital world.

“Some of my grades would drop because my teachers weren’t used to checking their email for my assignments,” she said. “I’d have to remind them that it was in their inbox, so after they got it my grades would go back up.”

McGinley says Sellaro was often in the position of teaching the teachers.

“It was kind of an adjustment on their part,” McGinley said. “But hopefully, she paved the way for that to be more normal.”

Sellaro helped Englewood Leadership Academy go digital, training that middle school’s teachers on her own self-taught techniques and largely saving them the trial and error of jumping headfirst into digital technology.

This fall, she will attend Metropolitan State University, where she intends to continue her all-digital studies.

McGinley expects Sellaro’s example to be the wave of the future as students become accustomed to virtual learning.

“What we saw in the middle schools is that kids love their iPads,” the district spokeswoman said. “If for some reason their iPad isn’t charged or they don’t have access to it, it’s a bummer for them to have to write on paper.”

SEMSWA completes streambank stabilization project Submitted by SEMSWA The Southeast Metro Stormwater Authority has completed a stream-stabilization improvement project for a segment of Little Dry Creek, located adjacent to the Southgate Water and Sanitation District facilities at Orchard Avenue and Long Road in Centennial.

The project was identified as a priority effort in the Little Dry Creek Master Plan.

It entailed stabilizing channel banks being undercut by erosional forces of the stream.

Prior to initiation of this project, the stream segment, called “Reach 6,” exhibited steep eroding cliffs below the Southgate Facility.

“The creek had eroded large caverns in the bottom of the north bank causing concern about the stability of the bank adjacent to one of the city’s water and sewer pro-

viders, Southgate Water and Sanitation District,” said Ron Weidmann, Centennial City Council member and SEMSWA Board member. “The impressive boulder wall bank protection is a welcome improvement to the creek,” AMEC Earth and Environmental Company was selected to design improvements to the creek, including a new channel alignment to allow shallower sloped banks and robust bank protection at two critical locations along the reach. The contractor was Naranjo Civil Constructors.

All of these improvements combine to maximize healthy channel function along Little Dry Creek, a tributary to the South Platte River. Construction started in November 2012 and was completed in April at a cost of $409,000.

Insanity plea likely in Littleton slaying Man charged in mother’s stabbing had history of drug abuse

By Peter Jones A man charged with murdering his mother, a Littleton resident, a year ago is expected to plead not guilty by reason of insanity this week.

Darin Ninneman, 31, has been charged with second-degree murder in the May 5, 2012, stabbing death of Lori Ninneman. The accused’s lawyers have indicated that the plea will be made May 24 during his arraignment.

Ninneman’s arraignment had been scheduled for November, but

Darin Ninneman the date was delayed six months at the request of public defender James Karbach, who said the defense needed more time to evaluate the suspect’s mental state.

According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, Ninneman has a long arrest record in the state and is reported to have had

a history of problems with mental health and substance abuse.

In 2007, Ninneman was found guilty on drug charges and received a six-month jail term in Jefferson County. Four years later in Englewood, he received a fouryear deferred sentence for possession of methamphetamines.

A Littleton Police detective testified that Lori Ninneman’s boyfriend said all three had used methamphetamines together. According to the detective’s testimony, the killing may have occurred after Ninneman’s mother would not give him drugs.

Ninneman is being held without bond in the Arapahoe County jail.

Foundation treasurer charged with embezzlement of $350K-plus Centennial organization helps struggling military families

By Peter Jones A former volunteer for the Centennial-based Colorado National Guard Foundation has been charged with embezzling more than $350,000.

Ruthann Oppenheim, the foundation’s onetime treasurer, is accused of stealing from two separate funds, including the Colorado Military Family Relief Fund, which provides financial assistance to military families.

“We’re deeply sorry this happened,” Andrew Meverden, the foundation’s chairperson, said in a statement. “Our top priority is to protect the funds so that eligible Colorado families of deployed military service members continue to receive the help they need when they need it.”

Oppenheim was arrested this month in Virginia as a result of an investigation by the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. She posted bail and was released on a $5,000 bond.

The foundation’s board of directors first discovered the fi-

nancial discrepancies more than a year ago during an internal audit, according to the organization.

Additional controls were implemented after the discovery.

The Colorado Military Family Relief Fund has raised more than $1 million since 2005 to help military families facing deployment-related hardships.

No eligible military family has been denied assistance due to the missing funds, according to Meverden Oppenheim is scheduled to be in 18th District court July 9 for a preliminary hearing.

Congrats to county for approving MOU for oil, gas standards Guest Column

Submitted by John Brackney, president and CEO of South Metro Denver Chamber e should all pause for a moment to recognize the effective and collaborative efforts of the Arapahoe County government. Except in times of crisis, government, citizens, and businesses can often be adversarial when trying to solve contentious issues. For the last year and a half, Arapahoe County commissioners have brought together all stakeholders to find a reasonable path for oil and gas

W

development in the county.

Faced with the highly politicized task of creating standards for oil and gas development in Arapahoe County, the county struck a path that while not highly publicized has proven to be the most effective process Colorado has seen thus far.

The Board of County Commissioners avoided emotional reactions like moratoriums and instead convened meetings of industry representatives, citizens, experts, and the state rulemaking authority, the Colorado Oil & Gas Conservation Commission.

The result was a unanimously approved Memorandum of Understanding that sets high standards for oil and gas operators beyond the rigorous, comprehensive regulations already in place at the state level.

The MOU that the Arapahoe County Commissioners approved on April 30 is one that ensures our long-term prosperity. It respects private property rights, encourages economic development, is mindful of the environment, and protects our community’s health.

While other communities implement preemptive regulations

and even impose outright bans that ignore the rights of land and mineral owners and their ability to develop their resources, Arapahoe County’s MOU stands as a shining example of what oil and gas development should be in Colorado. It ensures private property rights, protects our state’s scenic beauty, limits the impact on public health, all while keeping oil and gas development operations economical enough for mineral owners to develop their resources and realize the returns on the investments they have made.

We believe that this agreement will attract new revenue to our county. Not only will ad valorem and severance taxes go toward our schools, roads and fire districts, but our communities will grow stronger through the addition of jobs that support the industry. Main Street stores will be filled with shoppers.

To ensure Colorado’s economic vitality, the South Metro Denver Chamber is leading a delegation of business leaders on a trip to Houston, Texas, later this month to tell some of the country’s largest oil and gas companies that Colorado and

Arapahoe County are open for business. Should they do business in our state, they will have to adhere to strict environmental and health standards but due to the efforts of our state and local elected officials and the input of our citizens and business community, we have created a clear and consistent framework of regulations for them to operate under. Businesses value consistent regulatory environments and Arapahoe County is leading the way in Colorado to reassure the industry that there will be no surprises and we will not run them out of town.

Our success both today and into the future depends on balance, something we need to see more of as Colorado determines how best to utilize natural resources like oil and gas. The South Metro Denver Chamber and the more than 1,300 businesses we represent, commend Arapahoe County for their efforts to balance the environmental and economic needs of our community. We congratulate the county for their leadership and we urge other communities to recognize the benefits of working together to find rational solutions to com-

Benghazi Op-Ed Continued from Page 5 Zakhem has letters praising his service from then naval admirals.

This was prior to 9-11 and the Iraqi invasion. Respect for the United States in freeing Kuwait was running high and the United States was far more popular in the Middle East than today.

He doesn’t speak of living in any fear and he and his wife Marilynn obviously served their country and now live in Lakewood surrounded by grandchildren with a son serving in the military, just back from the Jordan embassy where he was a military attaché.

I weave this tale to reach some conclusions about Benghazi and the death of our ambassador and SEALs. Maybe we ask some of the wrong questions about Benghazi.

In my opinion, the ambassador should never have been in Benghazi, with heavily armed bands of militants, fresh from a revolution, it was a dangerous place. These massive amounts of weapons have now spread across neighboring countries of Egypt and Tunisia.

I have read stories about Ambassador Stevens jogging around the streets; he in many ways was like Ambassador Zakhem, fluent in the language and friendly with the people who he was there to assist as a representative of a supportive U.S. government.

There are now terrorists around the world, most from Iran, but many from other war torn countries similar to our alleged Boston bombers, who wanted to strike a blow against America for our attacks and occupation of Muslim countries.

America’s good intentions to bring democracy to other world countries are not fully appreciated in many world circles.

The ambassador and his guards should have left the compound and returned to a safer place. This looks like a John Wayne movie where John is surrounded by hostile Indians only to be saved by the cavalry racing to his rescue just in the nick of time. This wasn’t an old Western movie, but a real life drama in a very far away place and there was no rescue effort made. There should have been, we have air cavalry these days.

However, the Department of State is not the Department of Defense.

Ambassador Stevens should never have been in Benghazi, he was assigned to Libya and had ventured to a dangerous place with his hand extended in friendship and assistance.

Secretary Clinton was probably not aware of his exact location and some of his superiors had probably advised him to leave the area.

We don’t know that for sure, but it would seem that caution by the participants might have been the order of the day, along with their chain of command. It was handled badly, but there is plenty of blame leading to the band of warriors who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I’m sure everyone at the Department of State truly regrets these deaths and will take further steps to insure the safety of our present diplomats and embassies around the world. Secretary Clinton has accepted “full responsibility.” I’m sure she is sincere and feels terrible about this event.

Sadness and anger is now better than blame. Starting wars is a very dangerous business.

Regis University launches master teacher series

A

n initiative designed to serve teachers in Colorado and provide affordable professional growth opportunities begins this summer when Regis University’s School of Education and Counseling in the College for Professional Studies and the Regis College Master of Arts in Education launch the university’s first Master Teacher Series with two workshops featuring nationally-known speakers.

The Master Teacher Series: Regis University in Service of Teachers features presentations by international consultants, authors and educators Richard Cash and Ellin Keene. SEC will sponsor Cash’s presentation titled “Advancing Differentiations: Thinking and Learning in the 21st Century” slated for June 11-12 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Regis University’s Clarke Hall atrium. MAE is sponsoring Keene’s presentation titled “Reimagining Teacher Leadership” July 11 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Mountain View Room of Regis University’s St. Peter

Claver, S.J. Hall. Breakout sessions will follow the keynote.

“At Regis University we understand the tremendous pressures that teachers are under,” said Janna Oakes, dean of the SEC, while discussing the reasons for initiating the series.

“Calls for increased public accountability in the schools, the substantial weight of learner performance on standardized tests, differentiating curricula to meet the needs of a diverse group of students, and doing the best for students with limited fiscal resources keep good teachers on their toes. “We want to provide these students with professional development on timely topics that impact classrooms today.”

Kathy Nutting, director of the MAE in Regis College, one of three colleges at Regis University, emphasizes that “Now more than ever, there is a need to expand the expertise that teachers hold so they are ready to serve in a variety of leadership roles to address the needs of students, schools and the teaching profession. As educa-

tors address new reform measures, teacher leaders will be a catalyst for making change happen while playing a pivotal role in increasing student achievement. These two workshops in the Master Teacher Series provide quality learning opportunities about topics of high relevance to professional learning communities.”

Both workshops offer Colorado Department of Education recertification credit for licensure renewal. The July 11 workshop may also be taken for Regis University Graduate credit with additional tuition applied.

The June 11-12 workshop fee is $75 and includes coffee, lunch and materials. The July 11 workshop fee is $50, includes breakfast, lunch, materials and networking reception. Graduate credit with applied tuition is available for those who preregister for this workshop by June 7.

Submitted by Arapahoe Library District The Summer Reading Program at the Arapahoe Library District promises to inspire babies, toddlers, children and teens alike to discover the fun of reading through incentives, prizes and programs.

Summer Reading will begin on Saturday, June 1 and run through Sunday, July 28. Babies, toddlers and children through fifth grade are invited to enjoy “Dig into Reading” during the reading program this summer; teens will travel on their own adventure and “Beneath the Surface” during a program just for them.

To encourage parents of future readers, there will be a babyfocused Summer Reading record available, which will feature fun ways to interact with babies in order to build a strong literacy foundation from the start.

“Making time to share books, sing songs, play and talk with babies every day is important because we know that the first three years of a child’s life is a critical time for brain and language development,” said Lori Romero, ALD supervisor/ coordinator of Child and Family Library Services. “Babies and toddlers who hear and explore more words from an earlier age are eventually able to talk, read and write more easily.”

Last year, the Summer Reading Program inspired 15,077 babies, toddlers, children and teens to read

Church members run so Tanzanian children can walk

Selian Lutheran Hospital 5K Run/ Walk is June 1

Many Tanzanian children are unable to walk because of softened bones caused by fluoride in the water. Thanks to the work done by speciallytrained doctors at the Selian Lutheran Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, nearly 300 children receive corrective surgery every year.

On June 1, close to 200 runners and walkers will participate in the 5th Annual Selian Lutheran Hospital 5K Run/Walk, which begins and ends at Saint Peter Lutheran Church in Greenwood Village to raise money for the hospital. The race is certified, chip timed and open to anyone who registers through Selian5k. stplc.org. Day-of registrations are also welcome, but come

Corrections

Due to a source error, the May 16 Villager contained misinformation about how Centennial residents voted on Amendment 64 last year. Amendment 64 was defeated by 2.1 percent, according to the City of Centennial. A previous report that it passed by 7 percent was incorrect.

Also in the May 16 issue, due to a technical error, Lone Tree Mayor Jim Gunning’s name was incorrectly spelled throughout the story. The Villager regrets these errors.

Etiquette With the typical spring and summer weather finally kicking in, can summer parties be close behind?

Here is some advice you may not find in any bound or online book but this is gleaned from my own experiences.

Choose a private home or club or public facility with the well understood agreement that if it rains you and your guests will be welcome indoors.

With the opposite situation, you will need to accommodate guests with indoor shelter from the sun or at least a shaded patio.

Also, be sure your shaded area will hold the entire number of expected guests.

Turning to food safety, most of us are aware that food should not be at room temperature for long and that means from the start of preparation to the end of serving. Particularly dangerous is seafood and dairy and that includes your typical potato salad with mayonnaise.

Whatever food is not eaten in two hours should be immediately refrigerated or disposed of, especially if that food has been in outdoor summer heat any period of time.

We’ve also been at nonprofit luncheons where the agenda ran 90 minutes too long and the food became toxic. “Thanks for the memories,” as the late Bob Hope said at the end of each of his TV shows, but he wasn’t referring to memories of tummy trouble from unsafe menus.

Now about outdoor weddings, which we love, have a Plan B in case of bad weather.

At sunset come the biting mosquitoes and exposed skin is their target. Be prepared with an insect repellant type spray or cover up, buttercup!

Please be sure to accommodate any guests who have movement problems and may be in wheelchairs either permanently or due to temporary injury. Offer guests a place for them to remain and let’s face it, if you’re inviting guests to your event and stating such on the invitation, be sure the guest with any physical limitations is welcome.

Newborns In Need

B a b y S howe r at Governor’s Mansion draws wide range of donors

By Glory Weisberg he Governor’s Residence at the Boettcher Mansion Newborns in Need Baby Shower brought together many supporters who want to be sure women delivering their babies at Denver Health go home with essential items.

The Denver Health Foundation’s event was attended by women from various businesses, sororities and the private sector. King Soopers CEO Russ Dispense’s wife Debbie Dispense was among those who filled the mansion’s sunroom with adorable items. Hand knitted newborn size sweaters and booties, as well as diapers, diaper bags, strollers and $45,000 from the Anschutz Foundation were given. This money will enable the foundation’s leader Paula Herzmark and program manager Robin Engleberg to buy some items in bulk.

Frances Owens and Dottie Lamm When Special Friend certificates were given out, one went to Melly Kinnard, who volunteers for the Bears and Books group.

Engleberg said “If Denver was Rome all roads would lead to Melly.”

Also honored was Cheryl O’Toole. She and her friends make blankets and booties and last year they made 310 pairs of adorable little feet warmers.

Bearing the name Denver Health, many local people figure that the hospital is publicly funded by the City and County of Denver but that connection ceased some years ago, thus the existence of the Denver Health Foundation and the reason for its fundraising events.

With one of every three babies born in Denver born at Denver Health, support is crucial.

Dr. Sharon Langendoerfer spent 35 years working for Denver Health and recently retired but that didn’t stop her from working for the hospital, as she is now an active volunteer pediatric neonatal physician there.

The NIN program is supported by past state first ladies, Frances Owens, Jeannie Ritter and

Boppies, blankets and baby clothes are a few items that were donated at the Newborns In Need Baby Shower.

Diners raise $320K during Dining Out for Life

A

loyal community of 90,000 diners across the Denver metro and Boulder area supported Project Angel Heart’s 19th annual Dining Out for Life event by dining at participating restaurants, raising an estimated $320,000 for the local nonprofit. More than 300 restaurants donated 25 percent of the day’s food sales, along with diners making generous, individual contributions to Project Angel Heart. Those donations will fund the agency’s homedelivered meal program, which serves men, women and children coping with life-threatening illness, free of charge.

“For 19 years, the community has shown up to the table to Dine Out for Life and we continue to be humbled by the outpouring of support we receive during this event and throughout the year,” said Erin Pulling, president and CEO of Project Angel Heart.

“Dining Out for Life wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers and ambassadors who are the bread and butter of our organization. We thank them and the community for helping us to continue to grow our home-delivered meal program.”

Mondo Guerra and Pam Grier, Denver natives representing Dining Out for Life as national spokespeople Funds raised through Dining Out for Life will help Project Angel Heart prepare and deliver at least 485,000 nutritious meals, at no cost, to 2,200 people in the metro area and Colorado Springs this year.

Robbs have memorable moments of Margaret Thatcher

By Regent Emeritus Norwood L. Robb One of the great pleasures in our lives was meeting some of the high profile people while I was on the University of Colorado Board of Regents. My wife Barbara and I (of Centennial) were fortunate to meet and be photographed with a very great lady, Margaret Thatcher. She and President Ronald Rea-

gan became great friends.

“They both opposed communism and together they provided a united western counterbalance against the Soviet Union and modernized Europe’s anti-Soviet nuclear shield,” according to AP. Around 1985, Thatcher was invited by the CU School of Business as a guest speaker and during that same trip she addressed

the U.S. Congress and received a rousing applause.

She was the first woman prime minister of Britain and the first to lead a major Western power in modern times. The Soviets dubbed her, “The Iron Lady.” She left her mark on the world. She made a difference. She stands as the model for true leadership – true to her convictions and true to her world.

Cherry Hills residents awarded medal from Polish president

By Jan Wondra t’s a long way from the gulags of Siberia to the safety and security of their Colorado homes, but Aleksandra Maliszewski Bruner and Barbara Maliszewski Seifert still hold memories of their experience in the Soviet forced labor camps as children.

In recognition of their childhood experience, these two long-time Cherry Hills Village residents were recipients of a medal from Bronisław Komorowski, the president of Poland. The medal, “Survivors of Soviet imprisonment in Siberia in World War II,” was awarded May 5

by Consul Gen. Tomasz Skotnicki of the Polish Consulate in Denver.

The ceremony held in the Denver Country Club home of Karen and Don Ringley was attended by friends and well wishers.

“It has taken us many years to find survivors of the gulags in the Soviet Union, and it is very seldom now when we can honor their suffering. Aleksandra and Barbara are among the youngest we have ever recognized,” Skotnicki said.

Then citizens of Poland, infant Barbara and 2-year-old Aleksandra, along with their mother, were imprisoned by the Soviet Union in 1940 and sent to Siberia to work on a collective farm or a “kolhoz.”

Their father, Jan Maliszewski, a Polish military officer, had been part of the defense of Poland against the Germans, and when Poland fell, was pushed eastward. He, along with

Western Stock Show Association announces Executive Committee

T

he Western Stock Show Association (DBA, National Western Stock Show) unanimously reelected Ron Williams to continue as chairman of the WSSA. The WSSA board also elected the following officers: First Vice President Sue Anschutz-Rodgers, Second Vice President George “Buck” Hutchison and Secretary/Treasurer Mark Gustafson.

In addition to the Executive Committee elections, the board approved Guy McEndaffer as a new member of the WSSA Executive Committee. The position was vacated by Hank Brown who stepped off the Executive Committee after four years of service with the Association.

McEndaffer has been involved with the National Western Stock Show for many years as an exhibitor, volunteer and committee member. Most recently, he has served as the lead Ethics Superintendant for the junior market livestock shows.

He also serves as a member of the Executive Livestock Committee.

He with his wife Rose own and operate M & M Farms in Northeast Colorado that specializes in wheat and small grain production.

The McEndaffers also have a registered cow/calf herd in partnership with their children. He grew up on a family ranch in New Raymer and has never strayed from his connection with agriculture. Along with Guy and the officers, the elected Executive Committee members includes: Peter Coors, Don Elliman, Patrick A. Grant, Gail Klapper, Tracy Ringolsby and Thomas H. Bradbury.

more than 390 high-ranking Polish officers, was imprisoned by the Soviet Union in 1939 and sent to a forced labor camp in Arkhangelsk on the Arctic Circle. Until the Germans invaded Russia, Germany and the Soviet Union had a mutual nonaggression pact, making Polish citizens vulnerable from both the west and the east.

In presenting the awards, Skotnicki said, “Our governments have a long association, we fought with your George Washington in your battle for independence and members of the Polish military attended West Point. When we were attacked in 1939, not just our military, but our citizens resisted.

We fought in the West, as we were a small country that could not fight on both fronts (Germany and Russia) and we held out for as long as we could. Sent to the work camps, the officers were tortured, half of them died in the camps before the Soviet Union joined the Allies against Germany, and organized a Polish army in the Soviet Union.

It has taken us many years to find survivors of the gulags in the Soviet Union.”

The Polish officers were tortured and half of them died. Aleksandra and Barbara say their father was forced each day to stand guard on a log in the middle of the sub-zero forests. Officers who fell off due to fatigue or sickness were shot.

“Our father said what helped

him survive was thinking of us,” said Barbara. “He spoke of the sheer beauty of the show and ice in the trees...of the forest full of rainbows he witnessed when the sun shone down on the branches. He called it a miracle that helped to keep him alive.”

Aleksandra, who was older than 4 before they were allowed out of the gulag, holds very clear memories of the experience.

“We were starving...our mother did everything to keep us alive. The Polish soldiers, who were given rations, shared their rations with the families; one ration for three people.

I was sick, my hips grew wrong and there was no medical care, so when we finally reached safety, I spent years in body casts. I don’t know how we survived, but we did,” Aleksandra said.

Eventually, the war ended and the whole family survived and was reunited. They made their way out of Russia into Iran, through Iraq, then to Israel, and were finally able to emigrate to the Unites States in 1951.

“I wish my mother and father were here to receive this,” said Barbara wistfully. “It belongs to them, really. They kept Sandy and me alive. It’s been 73 years since we were in the middle of the Siberian Steppes, and here we are...with wonderful people and surrounded by our families. It’s a miracle.”

Goodwin recalled having been general manager of the former facility in Littleton and shared fond recollections of Colorado.

“We would like to thank the City of Greenwood Village and their staff for helping to make this vision come true,” Stone said.

Mayor Ron Rakowsky said he was proud to have this first-class dealership in the city. Arapahoe County Commissioner Nancy Sharpe was then recognized for her efforts of bring Kuni to this location, as she was mayor at the time when the process began.

The man-about-town John Brackney, CEO and president of South Denver Metro Chamber, organized the groundbreaking. With a clip of the scissors the lace ribbon dropped and Stone proclaimed with a wide smile, “Welcome to Kuni Lexus of Greenwood Village.”

Kuni Lexus a dream facility Stone said, “I dreamed of a day when we could build an optimal timeless facility at this location, providing a gem and gateway into the city of Greenwood Village.”

Attendees walked down the red carpet and into the new facility and came upon a two-story 40-foot-high glass water wall in the entryway that was adorned with decorative arrays of colorful flowers on the side.

The eyes of the guests were wide open as they strolled through the first floor with all the marble and stone and vaulted ceilings. There is a grand staircase leading up to the second level.

At the base of the main stairwell there is a small glass floor above showing the undercarriage of a new Lexus convertible. The sales staff utilizes laser pointers to illustrate the safety and mechanical features of the car to guests.

A luxury resort-like experience The designer and builder of this grandiose facility was Michael Graves, who was decked out in a flashy blue custom-made smoking jacket-style tuxedo, and he was recognized for his illustrious masterpiece – the new Lexus dealership. Graves said the building had been constructed with a green energy conscious theme. He utilized many Colorado materials in the building of the efficient facility.

There is a library and comfy chairs on the second floor, along with a vintage 1917 pool table for customers to enjoy while waiting for their car to be serviced. Two massive patios with lawn furniture on the north and south side provide an unencumbered view of the Rocky Mountains.

“We wanted to build a facility that our

guest would be comfortable spending time in that would match the quality of our Lexus vehicles,” said Stone.

Customers can also enjoy movies in a custom theater with three screens while they wait.

There are also numerous business workstations available.

“We created an environment that is comfortable for our guests. We provide numerous luxury amenities to create the resort environment,” said Stone, who was joined at the impressive occasion with his wife Laura and daughter Samantha, who works with NBC Sports in New York.

Kuni Lexus has won the Elite Lexus Award of Excellence for a total of 15 years.

The dealership is nearly paperless and to make a green statement the staff utilizes Apple iPads for nearly all transactions. There are hardly any hard copies of books, newspapers or magazines. These publications are available for customers on iPads.

“We are using technology to eliminate unnecessary paper waste,” said Stone.

“To keep with the full line of Lexus luxury fuel efficient hybrids that we offer - we wanted to incorporate green elements in our facility.”

Kuni’s new 6.5-acre facility has 196,000 square feet and features more than 20,000 sq. ft. of amenities. The service center has 52 bays and can accommodate more than 150 vehicles each day.

“I have had the opportunity to work with thousands of great Lexus guests over the years,” said Shawn Evans, the general sales manager who was joined at the event with his wife Tamara and daughter Ashley, who also works at the dealership. “This new facility will provide us an opportunity to work with thousands more and the ability to deliver an even higher level of customer service.”

New Kuni Lexus of Greenwood Village staged spectacular grand opening may 16

The new Kuni Lexus dealership at I-25 and Belleview resembles a resort-like atmosphere. The second floor features a library along with iPads for customers to read current publications. There are also a vintage 1917 billiards table, comfy chairs, a fireplace and large screen TV.

Lorie and her twin daughters Ellie and Brooke enjoy the north patio along with other guests at the Kuni Lexus of Greenwood Village grand opening. RTD’s Light Rail passes by the east side of the dealership at I-25 and Belleview Avenue.

Successful fundraiser “Since this event was a ‘first-of-itskind’ for Denver Health, our goals were to support the grand opening, increase awareness of the partnership between the Denver Health Foundation and Kuni Lexus, and raise dollars to support the work of Denver Health,” said Kayla Arnesen, a Denver Health spokeswoman.

Numerous companies partnered to raise money for this noteworthy organization that assists Denver citizens in providing top-notch health care.

The Epicurean Culinary Group provided Patron Ice Cream Pops and a Ceviche Bar. John Elway’s Restaurant served duck Carnitas tacos and carved beef for sliders.

Tag served lamb sliders and braised local goat tostadas.

The Tunisia Band played an ensemble of tunes to entertain more than 1,000 guests at the grand opening.

Of An Optimum Life

Submitted by Karen C. Loeb he Rotary Club of Denver Southeast recently hosted a gala celebration to commemorate its charter from Rotary International 28 years ago to form the club. The event was held at the Cherry Hills Country Club and attended by 94 people. Today, there remain six charter members in the club, with a total membership of 114 active members who live or work in the Denver southeast area.

The charter members are Doug Andrews, Tom Bieging, Gordon Lewis, Alan Loeb, Bill McMurry, and Johnie Ouzts. Two of these charter members, Bill McMurry and Alan Loeb, have also served as district governors of Rotary and current District Governor Mike Klingbiel is a member of DSE Rotary.

The Master of Ceremonies for the event was Club President Ed Meyer. Bill McMurry, first club president (who has 54 years of weekly perfect attendance), gave the opening invocation. This was followed by a moment of remembrance for the late Kevin B. Farrell, club secretary and active in youth leadership development for more than 25 years, and for his son, the late Brian Farrell, honorary club member and inaugural president of DTC Young Professionals Rotaract Club.

Tom Bieging, the club’s second president, gave a quick history of some of milestone activities of the club, including its 10-year commitment to the I Have A Dream Foundation, its holiday baskets for the needy, its water and sanitation projects in Kenya, Peru and Rwanda, and its new signature project with Easter Seals Colorado. Today, the Community Service committee engages in about 25 projects a year in the area, while the international committee has about a dozen projects per year around the world. The Vocational service committee oversees many youth programs as well as sponsors the Interact Club at Cherry Creek High School, the Rotaract Club at University of Denver (with University Hills Rotary Club), and the DTC Young Professionals club (with Highlands Ranch Rotary Club).

The entire event was impeccably planned by Marilyn Turner, club Fellowship chair. After dinner, President Ed Meyer, assisted

by President-Elect John Hughes, acknowledged many contributions of individual club members, especially those who sponsored fundraising events.

Sue Miller Day of Caring educational, empowering and fashionable

By Glory Weisberg ue Miller started her Day of Caring in 1981 and she has been erasing the stigma of breast cancer ever since.

Her empowering message is liberating to patients and taking the fashion ramp featuring survivors is proof there is happiness after the often grueling treatment. Strut your stuff and smile again, these models seem to say.

That’s quite an evolution from what Sue herself went through after her diagnosis when she was 34 years old. She is a past professional model and she is a beauty today but in the “old days” she’d been told women with breast cancer couldn’t be women anymore. When she was diagnosed, she lost her job.

“People thought cancer was contagious,” she said but the only contagion was the attitude many people were infected by.

“Empower Yourself-Take Charge of Your Care” was the theme for the Day of Caring at the Marriott Denver Tech Center. That Rocky Mountain Ballroom

S

was decked out with women in the pink, so to speak.

Lauren Miller spoke on “How to Keep Your Head While Losing Your Hair.” What she meant is there are ways of beating stress.

“Stress is simply a signal,” she said.

A survivor herself, she demonstrated ways to face down the fight or flight choice that may have worked for cave man but isn’t the way to deal with challenges today. The reason: we no longer live in a jungle although “there’s still a jungle in your head and that can make you sick,” she said.

She had a humorous way of dealing with her own chemo that led to burns on her chest requiring grafts from her back “so now my back is on my front,” she said.

Jan Blankennagel, Denise Plante and Cynthia Petrus made the fashions from Macy’s look and feel stylish, trendy and easy to wear. gloryweisberg@comcast.net

The 2013 Ford Explorer Sport with all the bells and whistles list for approximately $47,000.

The 2013 Ford Flex costs around $30,000.

Henry Ford would be proud Seven Passenger Delight 2013 Explorer Sport is real adventure

By H. Throttle The new 2013 Ford Explorer Sport lives up to the name and the adventure. This is a great SUV and Ford has hit a homerun with this V-6 ecoboost engine. There is even power to spare along with getting 22 mpg on the highway.

Ford is making exciting products, so are most of the automakers around the world.

Competition is fierce in concept, design, manufacturing and sales. If cars and trucks don’t perform to high levels, sales will plunge and factories will be idle while jobs will be lost.

Consumers are the real beneficiaries of this vast worldwide competition from Germany, Japan, Korea, India, Italy and the United States.

There is no doubt that today’s autos and trucks are the best ever engineering and manufactured. Vehicles are producing the best fuel mileage in history and are the safest ever produced with advancements in seatbelts and airbags. Advanced braking systems have met the challenges of modern eco-engines that produce massive amounts of horsepower from four-cylinder engines with turbo-charge options.

Even if you’re very satisfied with “Old Betsy” out in the garage that has taken you to work and home safely for years, just the new safety features are enough to warrant a new round of car payments. One’s life and

family’s safety is the most valuable asset anyone can have.

The new Ford Explorer is so different from the last series of the same gender in the past decade. The test model is Ford’s sport model and has the steering wheel paddles, a six-speed transmission, and ecoboost V-6 power and will really outperform.

Starting around $40,720, special equipment such as navigation, rear power gate and ruby red metallic paint, can boost the price by another $5,845 to around $47,000.

Ford dealers are currently offering great trade-in and sales promotions.

The drive is impressive, steering, ride, a quality experience from the moment one climbs behind the leather-wrapped steering wheel and pushes the smart key start button.

This is an SUV that you enjoy driving and controls to dial for all kinds of road conditions. Ford has touch-screen controls that take some practice but are simple enough to grasp for heat, music, volume, with related steering control buttons.

Safety is supreme with airbags, traction controls and terrain management systems.

Crash ratings are almost perfect and are rated “good” by the Auto Safety Institute.

The Explorer is the perfect all-weather vehicle for Colorado weather and roads.

Much like its little sister Taurus in performance, the Explorer offers more space, a third row of seating and the feeling and versatility of an SUV for all road conditions.

Ford is an American icon and Henry would be very proud of his 2013 line of vehicles.

2013 Ford Flex is stylish success

By H. Throttle The Ford Flex – SEL all-wheel drive with modern van style is another Ford masterpiece of engineering, style, comfort and fun. Ford has accomplished an engineering coup in developing some great new V-6 engines with very efficient six-speed select shift transmissions. The engines, transmissions, frames and suspension systems appear in different models such as Taurus, Explorer and the new seven-passenger Flex van.

The metallic paint shimmers in the rain when parked by a valet at the FourSeasons Hotel in downtown Denver. The snappy new style turns heads as the valet fetches this black beauty with Flex emblazoned on the lower front hood curve.

Having test-driven three Ford products in recent weeks, each vehicle just keeps becoming better and better, and better.

The clever engineering of using standard features in engines, transmission, suspension is shear brilliance by Ford engineering. This simplicity of Henry Ford’s grand assembly line has never been better implemented than with these latest Ford Motor

vehicles.

The 3.5L V-6 provides a strong power plant with major acceleration and pedal power to cope with any highway situation.

Ford Flex is large and capable of carrying seven passengers with ease and has the luxury of all-wheel drive for winter roads.

The V-6 is thirsty and gas consumption is 23 mpg on the freeway and 19 mpg around the city, not bad for a larger passenger motif with an almost square box design.

Highway ride is smooth as silk and steering is exact with the grip of a leather wrapped steering. Many controls are on the center screen where almost all vehicles now place temperature and electronic controls.

Flex sells in the mid $30,000 and is a lot of vehicle for the money.

Safety receives the highest mark of “Good” with multiple air bags and safety features. The Flex provides a feeling of safety, comfort, and high performance to the driver and passengers.

Ford Motor Company really has their engines fine-tuned and are putting first class cars and trucks on America’s highways and bi-ways.

Ford says, “Drive one.” And you should.

From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.

of a fiber optics cable, oil pipeline, gas pipeline, and produced water pipeline that will be underground in a 75-foot easement, along with a 25-foot construction easement. There are three main trunk lines that generally go in a north-south direction that are located in portions of the following Sections 1, 3-5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 19, 22, 26-30, 33, 35, and 36 of Township 4 South, Range 64 West and Sections 7, 18, 19, and 30 of Township 4 South, Range 63 West and Sections 1-4, 11,12, 14, and 23 of Township 5 South, Range 64 West, in unincorporated Arapahoe County. This petroleum gathering system will take oil, gas and produced water from individual well pads to processing facilities outside of Arapahoe County. This will likely reduce the number of truck trips in Arapahoe County needed to transport the oil, gas, and produced water from a number of oil and gas wells in Arapahoe County. The construction of this phase of the petroleum products gathering system will take approximately 9-12 months.

More information about this proposal is available at the Arapahoe County Planning Division, 6924 S. Lima St., Centennial, CO 80112.

Is community service important for college applications?

COLLEGE PLANNING: Searching for solutions

D

By Estelle Meskin

ear Estelle. Knowledgeable people tell me that community service is an important component of the college application so we are considering sending our daughter to Costa Rica this summer to “do”a two-week volunteer stint in a small village near San Juan. She’s very excited about this but also would like to participate in a summer creative writing programs at Middlebury College. Frankly, we can’t afford both. Would the volunteer project look better on her college application?

Mom of Junior, Grandview H.S. You’re asking a good ques-

tion. SCHOOL How important is it to MATTERS show community service on a college application? There are mixed opinions on this.

Does the student show an ongoing commitment to community service or do her parents pay for the two-week stint in Costa Rica, the student returns home and it’s life as usual. If the student gets excited about volunteering and returns home with a passion By others Judith i.e.

Baenen to help having an St. Mary’s Academy annual drive to raise money for the underserved in Costa Rica the trip has positive consequences. Most high schools require a number of hours of community service so there are always ways to make a commitment to volunteerism.

Some schools like Graland start much earlier with what they call “service learning.”

Graland students begin their community service at an early age by participating in Special Olympics or serving dinner once a month to families living in homeless shelters on Colfax. Some collect money for “The Penny Harvest” and distribute it to worthwhile causes. The Young Philanthropists are eager to provide fundraising opportunities to

students, as are several organizations around the Denver metro area like the Rose Foundation Teen Board, which annually decides how to distribute around $60,000 to needy nonprofits. There are numerous ways for students to get involved philanthropically.

The consensus among my colleagues around the country is the interest has to be genuine. Of course, students are

By Jim Miller looking for special things to mention in their college essays and applications that will make them stand out. Doing a two-week stint in Costa Rica might be just the opportunity to become ignited about the joy of helping others.

Whether to do the Costa Rica trip or to participate in a creative writing course at Middlebury College? Community service, per se, is not important unless it ignites a passion in the person. If your passion is soccer, then pursue soccer with all your heart.

If politics is meaningful for you, volunteer for your state representative or city council person. If you love writing, pursue it wholeheartedly. Difficult question to answer.

Track & Field Champs 2013 Creek, Arapahoe girls take top 2 spots in state meet

By Tom Barry fter a wild springtime of snow and cold weather canceling a number of regular season meets, the state track and field state championship was held last week at the Jefferson County Stadium, May 16 – 18.

The girls and boys teams competed under a hot sun last weekend.

There were thousands of classmates, friends, parents and coaches in the stands. Busses and cars filled up nearly every available space for about a mile around the expansive complex, just east the Denver Federal Center on Kipling and 6th Avenue.

Many of the races were close with the top competitors pitted up against one another from throughout Colorado. The field events were equally competitive from discus to pole vaulting.

Each individual race and field event scores points for the respective

A

team’s totals.

The Bruins had planned on their freshman sensation Ashley Miller finishing first in the girls 300 meter hurdle event. Miller caught a hurdle on the straightaway and fell, placing eight in the competition. Hailey DeVries of Arapahoe won bronze, capturing third place.

“Jordyn Colter ran the mile really well,” said Sally Moos, who has coached track at Creek for 30 years, as well as being the volleyball coach.

“When Ashley Miller fell on the hurdles that put us back, everybody rallied and ran the 4x1. Ashley showed great strength and character [coming back].”

In the end, when the team points were tabulated, Creek girls won first place and Arapahoe second.

The Bruins were elated and ran around hugging their coaches. The girls had worn florescent orange Tshirts that had in large letters that read, “GIVE MORE.”

All-girls education fosters ‘boundary-less’ women

W

ith the backdrop of the gorgeous Colorado landscape, Loren Koszowski described the future of the St. Mary’s Academy’s Class of 2013 as “boundaryless.” May 18 marked the 138th Commencement of St. Mary’s Academy celebrating “unconstrained self-expression” as a hallmark of an all-girls education.

Four-time Paralympian and SMA Alumna Sarah Castle outlined a few pearls of wisdom as she spoke to the graduates such as “dare to be different,” “try new things,” and “never hesitate to be a strong woman!” She listed the medals and certificates she has won despite her disability, which she learned to embrace, but reminded the girls that those things don’t tell the story of how she earned those successes. It took the dedication of friends and family, hard and constant work, and, of course, failures.

It is not the medals, but the process that “sticks with you.”

Many in the class will be attending Colorado School of Mines, Creighton University, University of Colorado Boulder University of Denver, Gonzaga University, Loyola Marymount University, Marquette

This Class of 2013 includes National Merit Finalists, an Outstanding Participant in the National Achievement Scholarship Program, a 2013 U.S. Presidential Scholar Finalist, as well as the 4A Regional Champions in Varsity Tennis and the 5A Semifinalists in the State Field Hockey Championship as just a few of the highlights of this extraordinary group of women.

These accomplishments are mighty, but awards are just the outward recognition for the work of the

last four years. These empowered young women have collaborated and been encouraged to charter new ground, challenge traditional and non-traditional ways to consider a solution and have received the foundation to be powerful “agents of change,” as articulated in the SMA mission statement. St. Mary’s Academy is so proud of the graduates and continues to support the women they have become as they begin this exciting next step in their journey.

Littleton music teacher receives Citation of Excellence Award

D

Submitted by Littleton Public Schools on Emmons, instrumental music teacher at Littleton High School, has been awarded a Citation of Excellence Award by the National Band Association. The award is given to an individual whose ensemble has a history of a distinguished level of accomplishment, or an individual who has made significant contributions to the field. Emmons received the award in a surprise presentation at a recent LHS instrumental pops concert. It was presented by University

of Northern Colorado Professor Richard Mayne, who told the audience that the award has only been presented twice in Colorado in the past 21 years.

Emmons has been an instrumental music teacher at LHS for 17 years. He is responsible for the wind ensemble concert band, symphonic band, percussion ensemble, chamber orchestra and two jazz bands.

The department also includes the Littleton High Lion Pride marching band, basketball pep band, pit orchestra for the musical and several smaller ensembles for various performances.

Four students receive LPS Foundation $1,000 scholarship

I

Submitted by LPS Foundation t was 20 years ago the LPS Foundation paved the way. And now, thanks to lots of help from friends, Littleton Public Schools are getting better all the time.

This year’s Spirit Celebration raised $50,000 for teacher grants, scholarships, and health and wellness initiatives; and $25,000 for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) related projects., Students from all across LPS showcased that investment in innovation with examples of Google docs, wiki pages, “flipped classrooms,” online textbooks and dynamic blogs.

The evening’s entertainment was homegrown and top notch. Student emcees and singers from Heritage, Littleton, and Arapahoe High Schools

shared the spotlight on center stage. In addition, the LPS Foundation granted four outstanding seniors a $1,000 spirit scholarship in recognition of past accomplishments and future endeavors in the field of education.

Presenting sponsor ISC conducted a large band of generous corporate support. A huge thank-you to annual sponsors Comcast, Colorado Business Bank, Littleton Adventist Hospital, FirstBank and Schomp Automotive. Numerous other supporters make valuable contributions behind the scenes. These generous businesses and individuals are listed on the LPSF website at www.lpsfoundation.com.

Over the past two decades, the LPS Foundation has raised more than $2 million and touched nearly every classroom at every grade level across the district. All those proverbial pennies in the lane add up to the multitude of accomplishments achieved when we all “Come Together!”
