School-board elections canceled in Cherry Creek and Littleton Five candidates unopposed—move will save more than $100,000

In the face of expensive uncontested elections, the two largest school districts in the south metro area have both opted to not hold their upcoming previously scheduled board elections.

The boards of education for both Cherry Creek Schools and Littleton Public Schools voted last week to cancel their November ballots and declare the candidates—mostly incumbents—as winners by acclamation, saving more than $100,000 in

taxpayer money.

Colorado law only allows such action when the number of candidates is equal to the number of available positions.

In LPS, three incumbents—Kelly Perez, Jack Reutzel and Carrie Warren-Gully—will be permitted to serve second terms without a formal vote of the people. In Cherry Creek, incumbent Karen Fisher and Kelly Bates, a longtime district volunteer, have been similarly appointed.

The deadlines for announced candidates had recently passed in both districts.

The board members will be sworn-in in November.

Englewood Schools has five candidates seeking three board positions and will still hold its regular election Nov. 7.

Brzeczek makes another run for Littleton City Council Longtime resident and citizen activist Carol Brzeczek has announced she will again seek election for the Littleton City Council at-large seat this November.

In addition to a previous council run two years ago, she was elected to the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education and was a co-founder of the Littleton Preparatory Charter School.

She has been a member of the Littleton Fine Arts C o m m i t t e e, Carol Brzeczek Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants and was recently appointed to Littleton Invests for Tomorrow, the city’s often-beleaguered urban-renewal authority.

Brzeczek, who worked as an accountant for small businesses in the Littleton area, says she is running for council “to protect Littleton’s quality of life, find a fiscally responsible solution to the current budget challenges and to focus the City of Littleton on a course that will protect Littleton’s unique character.”

The candidate says her goals would be to improve financial transparency, focus the budget on what she considers the essentials, including senior services and public safety, bring back quarterly city-sponsored neighborhood meetings and develop a citizen-driven plan for growth and redevelopment in neighborhoods.

“Growth must pay its own way,” Brzeczek said.

“It must pay for streets, roads and infrastructure, must compliment the existing community and must be high quality. We must protect the character of our neighborhoods. That is what

Littleton should expect.”

This year, Brzeczek, who has often been associated with Littleton’s politically active Sunshine Boys, helped draft and testified in support of an amendment to a Colorado law that she says protects communities and clarifies the parameters of urban renewal. She had also championed a successful local ballot initiative that gave citizens a much stronger voice in urbanrenewal development within Littleton.

Leah Burkett, neighbor of the Grove neighborhood said, “For years, Carol has been a dedicated citizen voice against government overreach and poor decision making. Carol does her homework. You can always trust that her opinion on local issues is informed by research and reason. I know that Carol will be a transparent and approachable councilmember, as well as an effective voice for citizens.”

As part of that effort, Brzeczek hosts a community website called “Citizen’s View of Littleton,” where topics have included the city staff’s administrative decision to allow a controversial highdensity five-story apartment complex near Littleton’s historic areas.

Brzeczek lives with her husband Marty in a home near the Lee Gulch trail. She is the mother of two grown children and grandmother of three. She says she feels fortunate to have raised her family in Littleton and is happy that her grandchildren will soon be moving to Littleton. She loves to garden, cook and to walk the Highline Canal, the Lee Gulch Trail and the Mary Carter Greenway.

Jennifer Hubbard

District volunteer runs for Englewood School board District volunteer Jennifer Hubbard believes she is in a unique position to serve on the Englewood Schools Board of Education.

“I have worked in both private and public education, doing everything from driving buses and mopping floors to training over 300 people a year on state assessment software,” she said.

A Colorado native, Hubbard and her husband have lived in Englewood for 15 years. Their two children have attended several Englewood schools.

The candidate has volunteered on the School Accountability Committee at Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice and she says she has worked alongside teachers and administrators on the district’s 1338 committee, helping shape how teachers are evaluated on the basis of student growth and achievement.

Hubbard says running for the school board is another way to make a difference for the students of Englewood, saying that ensuring all students reach their full potential is critical.

“If elected, I will hold the district accountable for providing a 21st century education to all students, and that every student is prepared for the future of their choice,” she said.

Hubbard hopes to start a mentoring program in which members of the Englewood community would help students, whether by lending a hand with homework, building sets for a play or teaching students what it is like to work in a given field.

“There are a lot of families in Englewood who do not have children in school.

I want to make a connection between those community members and the kids so that everyone can see the great work being done and feel like they are a part of it,” Hubbard said. “Voters gave Englewood Schools a wonderful gift with the passing of the mill and bond initiative last November.

I want to show them that their money will be well spent.”

Happenings in the happy city of Centennial

Congressman Mike Coffman attended the Centennial City Council meeting on Sept. 18 to present two framed congressional awards to city officials. The first was to outgoing Mayor Cathy Noon for service during her tenure. The second honor was to outgoing Mark Gotto for his years as an active councilmember.

It was a time for pride in the city government as these two public servants will leave office in January. A new mayor will be elected along with new councilmembers in November. Noon is term-limited.

In other business, a fiber report was presented by Jim Duncan, a member of the citizen Fiber Commission. He updated the council on the status of the city’s fiber-optic cables, giving a glowing report on the progress by FiberWorks.

Duncan said, “This is a finely-tuned, well-engineered automobile. It’s cruising up the road, its engine roaring, and the ride is smooth as glass. What I mean is that the strategies and thoughtful planning behind Centennial’s new crucial infrastructure is unparalleled in my own professional experience as a driver of services.”

He continued, “For me, it’s been a true pleasure to look under the hood of this program to see the engine up close. The people you’ve entrusted to develop this citywide fiber-optic network are true professionals. That’s not so unusual, but what strikes me is their passion for this program, for getting it right, and for their efficiency.”

Duncan had high praise for city and contract staff saying, “They are the fuel feeding the engine.”

He praised the work of Tim Scott, Eric Eddy, Wyatt Peterson and Jill Hassman.

He also issued thanks at the policy and leadership, leveling praise at Stephanie Piko, Ken Lucas and Commission Chair C.J. Whelan. “They have been incredibly generous and transparent sharing the background details and planning history for this groundbreaking city effort. Their leadership of this initiative illustrates the best in local governance. They are true representatives of Centennial’s citizens.”

Denver Water supplies a great deal of water to Arapahoe County, and the next expedition will be the structure and progress of Denver Water, which has been a powerful force for decades. The massive Dillion Dam and Green Mountain Reservoir are part of the Denver inventory. Between Denver Water and Aurora Water, the Front Range water supply is ready to meet the tremendous growth and development in Arapahoe and Douglas counties, at least for now.

Further north, the communities of Fort Collins and Greeley have been leaders in obtaining water for their communities with active water districts and pioneer water engineering, especially the water folks in Greeley who saw fit to lay water lines well in advance of growth and establish strong

In November, there will be a year-end review of this project, which appears to be progressing extremely well.

The council also looked at a trails and recreation report from DesignWorkshop on a proposed trail that would extend the entire length of the city from east to west and the results of a survey on city parks and recreation areas, open space being one of the top priorities for future U.S. Rep.

Looming on the horizon is a study about establishing truck routes through the city to limit them from traveling through residential neighborhoods, unless they have a purpose to be there, such as food delivery to a local restaurant.

It was a pleasure to sit through a Centennial City Council session. I came away thinking, what a happy city this is, and they even sang “Happy Birthday” to Councilmember Doris Truhlar.

I think Centennial should use a slogan, “The Happy City.”

The piano man has left the keys

The passing of Robert Olson, aka Boogie Bob, on Sept. 14 left a group of loyal fans in the sound of silence.

Boogie Bob played tirelessly at Jim Carter’s Perfect Landing at Centennial Airport for just shy of 10 years.

Before that, he played at the Summit Steakhouse, and that is where I met him.

Debi, not yet my wife, introduced us. She was one of the regulars before we started dating. She would insist we join the others at the Summit at least once a week.

Politics got in the way of our weekly visits, but we enjoyed when we could. We followed him when he left for the Perfect Landing. And what a landing it was.

Boogie thrived there, adding so much to the restaurant’s ambiance, much to Carter’s delight.

Boogie’s tie selection reflected both his deep appreciation of all the arts and his sense of humor.

It was always a delight to see what tie he had on. I don’t think I saw the same one twice.

Boogie had a lengthy career in Colorado, tickling the 88s in Blackhawk and Central City, and performing with his dad in nursing homes, or in personal appearances like our wedding. Yes, he played at our wedding!

After 57 years of tickling the ivories for so many, with countless original melodies, I think we all would agree that his heart was lost to his beloved Amelia, his beautiful granddaughter.

And now, our hearts are lost with his passing. Heaven is now enjoying Boogie’s gift.

Boogie, thanks for the memories.

Stem cells—promise or peril?

Stem cells are one of the holy grails in medicine, holding the potential to regrow diseased organs, regenerate damaged brain tissue or restore lost eyesight. While the potential is there, under the silver lining lurks perils and dangers that could make a bad medical situation much worse. As stem cells have been in the news, it’s worth taking a brief look at the good, bad and ugly.

Stem cells have the amazing ability to grow into many different types of cells and body tissues.

A fertilized egg is the ultimate stem cell. From this single cell, a fully formed human being develops over nine months.

Stem cells come in two primary varieties—embryonic and adult. Embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated, meaning less developed with greater potential to develop into a variety of specialized cells. Think of a young child who has the potential to become a brilliant scientist, star athlete or business mogul.

Adult stem cells are already differentiated, more developed and specialized with less potential to grow in any direction. Much like a young adult who already knows if they have the potential to be an Olympic

medalist or Nobel Prize winner.

Under the right conditions, stem cells can be coaxed into growing into specialized

BY BRIAN C. cells or even JOONDEPH organs, just as these cells did for a growing fetus. The potential is there as a single cell leads to a baby.

But science has not figured out how to reproduce this miracle of nature.

Stem cells can also grow in the wrong direction.

Just like the young child who may grow up to be a terrorist or serial killer.

This is one of the perils of embryonic stem cells.

Rather than growing into healthy tissue, they may choose the dark side and evolve into tumors.

Brave new world stuff.

Who is overseeing all of this? After all, we’ve all seen movies of wellmeaning science gone astray, such as Jurassic Park. Fortunately, the FDA is stepping up efforts to oversee this new frontier of regenerative medicine.

I’m all for reduced government regulation, but in this area sensible oversight is necessary. Otherwise the door is left open for disaster, as occurred recently in Florida. An unregulated stem-cell clinic, under the guise of a sanctioned clinic trial, injected a slurry of fat cells and stem cells into

the eyes of several patients with macular degeneration. And charged patients for the procedure, which is not done in formal clinical trials. Unfortunately, these patients lost most or all their eyesight. Permanently.

Some stem-cell lines used in clinical trials may contain cancer-causing genes, another reason for FDA oversight and scrutiny. Or the child injected with embryonic stem cells that grew into brain and spinal cord tumors.

Think of stem cells like fire. Properly harnessed and used safely, it can heat a home, cook food or power an engine. When out of control, fire can cause death and destruction on a massive scale.

Before jumping on the stem-cell bandwagon, do your homework and ask questions. As most of these treatments are experimental, they should be part of a formal clinical trial.

Industry or governmentsponsored studies don’t charge patients for treatment, unlike the clinic in Florida. Ask where the stem cells come from. What are the benefits, risks and alternative treatments?

The promise and potential is there. A new pancreas for a teenager with type 1 diabetes. A new retina for someone with macular degeneration. Regeneration of a severed spinal cord.

Someday these will be reality. But in the meantime, be prudent and vigilant.

All that glitters is not gold.

Citizen activist Fey seeks Littleton council seat Educator and citizen activist Carol Fey has announced her candidacy for Littleton City Council in District 3.

Fey says her primary issues are for the city to spend taxes wisely, follow the law, including zoning ordinances, and make greater efforts to encourage citizen participation in government.

Fey also pledges to bring financial restraint to City Council.

“I retired 10 years early because I’m so careful about spending. With me on council, Littleton will have more benefits with no tax increases,” she said.

Fey came to Littleton 30 years ago with a job transfer from Minneapolis.

“I picked my Littleton house because it has a mountain view and was 20 minutes to work.

I still have that house and the view. But the drive is twice as long,” she said.

For 20 years, Fey was Honeywell’s Mountain West technical sales manager. She then worked twice in Antarctica as a heating mechanic and in emergency communications.

“I’ve traveled all the continents, most more than once,” she said. “The toughest, Ant-

Carol Fey arctica, was for a job. I worked a 60-hour week and shared a tiny dorm room—what an experience. Coming home, I traveled China solo. After that, not much scares me.”

Fey founded Littleton-based Carol Fey & Associates in 2000.

The company delivers online and classroom technical training. She has published numerous books and articles and has taught exercise classes at the Littleton YMCA for 20 years.

Fey started her community work in 2015 when she says a building that would have been in violation of zoning regulations was proposed for her Oakbrook neighborhood.

“My council representative, and now opponent, said, ‘Don’t even try, the developer

always wins,’ and ‘if you want to control the property, why don’t you buy it?’ I organized 50 neighbors, we presented the violations to the Planning Board and they voted in our favor,” Fey said.

Fey insists she is not antidevelopment.

“We neighbors do want development,” she said. “I worked with the city Economic Development Department, the property owner, shopping-center management, prospective businesses and developers. We hope something is coming.

Fey is a graduate of the Littleton Citizens’ Police Academy and served on Oakbrook Homeowners’ board of directors. She holds master’s degrees in industrial technology and English. She taught at the University of Minnesota, Bowling Green State University and technical colleges, including Littleton’s Arapahoe Community College.

Fey’s adult children, Martin and Kate, graduated from Heritage High School and the University of Colorado. She and engineer Patrick Fitzgerald have been together for 17 years.

They jokingly call their many evenings at City Council meetings “date night at city hall.”

Voters in Arapahoe County have high satisfaction in the conduct of elections and participate at a higher rate than the national average, according to recent surveys.

The county’s elections and voter registration services were the top-rated service by residents in a 2017 citizen survey with 87 percent of respondents ranking them as excellent or good. This represented a 26 percent increase in favorable responses since the 2008 Survey.

In the 2016 general election, a little more than 74 percent of registered voters in Arapahoe County cast a ballot. That was significantly higher than the nationwide turnout of 65 percent, according to the 2016 Election Administration and Voting Survey recently released by the U.S. Election Commission.

“We are extremely proud that our citizens have recognized Arapahoe County’s elections as exceptional quality and put their confidence in the integrity of our system by participating at such a high rate as voters,” Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said. “At a time when elections administration is being questioned at a national level, we are proud of the inclusive and transparent process that we’ve built in our county, and these numbers show that our citizens

are too.”

Under Crane’s leadership since 2013, the Clerk and Recorder’s Office says it has taken many strides to enhance voter tools, communication and access to the ballot box. For example, it has deployed 22 new 24hour ballot boxes in four years, bringing the total to 24 across the county.

Two thirds of voters return their mail ballot to a ballot box, instead of by mail.

Voters can now track their ballot envelope using BallotTrack, a service launched in 2014. More than 30,000 voters have subscribed to receive free text, email and phone calls when their ballot is mailed to them, picked up by the Postal Service and received by the county for counting.

Last year, the clerk launched a geolocation tool to find the nearest ballot box or Voter Service and Polling Center, as well as see wait times, at arapahoevotes.com/Find-My-Nearest.

Arapahoe County offered 25 Voter Service and Polling Centers in the 2014 and 2016, two more than the statutory minimum of 23.

In 2016, the Elections Division replaced its aging voting equipment with Colorado’s new uniform system, which includes innovative software and hard-

ware for processing ballots and voting. Voters now fill in a circle on their mail ballot or use a tablet to mark their choices. Every ballot is cast on paper, ensuring an audit trail.

Arapahoe piloted the risklimiting audit, now the standard for all counties. Crane also has expanded partnerships with political parties and voting-rights organizations. Tours of the elections facility are available.

On Election Day, Crane travels to voting locations with representatives of both the Arapahoe County Democratic and Republican Parties to ensure strong collaboration and transparency.

The next opportunity for citizens to vote is Nov. 7 to determine the outcome of questions and races for local cities and districts. There are no county, state or federal questions.

Ballots will be mailed to eligible active voters beginning Oct. 16, and must be returned by 7 p.m., Election Day. Voters may also visit one of four Voter Service and Polling Centers beginning Oct. 30.

In late September, the county will unveil a redesigned and mobile-responsive elections website. Find election information and update your voter registration at arapahoevotes.com.

Grants, rebates and a ‘street-level M.B.A.’ Englewood incentivizes its base of smaller businesses

Many small businesses fail to take full advantage of the benefits of doing business in a given city. Take Englewood, for example.

“My job is jobs,” said Darren Hollingsworth, the city’s economic-development manager. “My job is to support jobs in the city of Englewood.”

To help facilitate that mission, the City Council last year approved substantial changes to Englewood’s citysponsored economic-development efforts. To help get the word out, Hollingsworth spoke last week to the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce.

A still-underutilized grants program, for one, is targeted at businesses during two key phases of their development.

Start-ups in operation for less than two years may be eligible for $2,500 that may be spent on virtually any early expense that a small business might incur.

“It’s not a free grant,” Hollingsworth clarified. “It’s a grant to support the creation of jobs. … It’s to invest in growth in the community and raise the tide.”

Two years later, the business may also qualify for an acceleration grant of up to $5,000 to help take the operation to its next level.

“One example,” Hollingsworth said, “someone wanted to add pizza to their restaurant and wanted to have a couple of new employees added with the delivery of this new service, and that new pizza oven would require some improvements to the building.”

If a solopreneur starts up and creates one job within the city, that’s a $1,100 tax credit.

- Darren Hollingsworth, Englewood’s economicdevelopment manager

If training is what is needed, grants of about $50 to $500 are available to small businesses.

Englewood also partners with the U.S. Small Business Administration on an Emerging Leaders educational program.

“Basically, it’s a streetlevel M.B.A.,” Hollingsworth said. “It’s an intensive multiweek session that allows a business owner to take a very deep dive.”

Many businesses in Englewood may not even know that the Colorado Small Business Development Center has an office in the Englewood Civic Center, where local business owners can attend workshops and receive free and confidential one-on-one consulting.

Marcia McGilley, SBDC’s executive director, said consultants help entrepreneurs take a little bit of time to

think about their businesses in a new way.

“It’s an hour session, and we ask you the questions,” she said. “What’s keeping

you up at night? One of my favorite questions on there is, what clients do you need to fire?”

In addition to grants, tax

credits may also be at the ready, especially since the entire city of Englewood now sits in an enterprise zone that qualifies resident businesses for credits in a number of categories, from job creation to employee healthcare benefits.

“They can be very substantial. If a solopreneur starts up and creates one job within the city, that’s an $1,100 tax credit,” Hollingsworth said.

Another incentive program rebates taxes and permit fees up to $20,000 when businesses retain as few as five employees.

Randy Penn, executive director of the Englewood Chamber and a former city mayor, said these sorts of proactive approaches to business retention recently kept Colorado Neurological Institute in the city.

“They were ready to move out of the city. We sat them down … and gave them a lot of options and they stayed in Englewood,” Penn said.

Brad Nixon, owner of the city’s Nixon’s Coffee and Share Good Foods, noted that many businesses in Englewood have little idea of the city programs available to them.

“The success of our business in town has largely been by virtue of the fact that we’ve chosen to be involved, to get involved at all sorts of different levels,” he said.

‘A Woman’s Way to Recovery’ starts here To hear Belina Fruitman tell it, there really is a woman’s way to recovery—and a woman’s way to suffer in the first place.

“Women tend to deal a lot more with depression, shame and secrecy,” the licensed clinical social worker said. “A lot of the times women who become addicted end up abusing alone.”

And while women, though often struggling in isolation, are generally more inclined than men to seek help, they still do not always do so as quickly as they should.

“I wish people came in here before they get a DUI or before they get a child-

neglect charge and all these other consequences come up,” Fruitman said. “… I really believe that people need their to find meaning in life, a sense

their mental health or addiction?”

The existential search is one of the most important paths on A Woman’s Way to Recovery, a southeast Denver clinic that boasts Colorado’s only DUI-licensed genderspecific program of its kind. Fruitman, a level-3 certified addictions counselor, opened the practice six years ago with a hands-on approach to guiding her mostly female patients down an oftenbumpy road.

“I’m readily available to my clients,” she said. “Everybody knows my cellphone number. I’m very supportive of my clients. I get to know them on a pretty intimate level. I help them see the issues that maybe they don’t recognize yet through posing effective questions.

For some people, it’s a radical idea not to open a bottle of gin after a long day. For them, it’s a radical idea to think about trying a yoga class or going on a walk.”

Although Fruitman’s practice is wide ranging in most areas of mental health, she has received particular attention for her group-based DUI program.

“You have to figure out what the carrot is, what’s going to motivate them to engage,” the counselor said, emphasizing that while many of her clients are there on a court order, her approach to positive reinforcement is anything but officious.

“It’s very small and personable. It’s not a typical DUI program at all,” she said.

“People are always surprised when they come.”

Perhaps no one has been as surprised as Fruitman, who happened on her career after receiving a bachelor’s degree in business and landing unhappily in the bustle of retail buying.

“I became very disconnected with that whole world,” she said. “It felt very competitive and not nurturing, so I started volunteering with a rape assistance and awareness program. I didn’t even know what social work was.”

Before long, the onetime retailer was earning a gradu-

People need to find meaning in their life. … If they don’t have that, why would they even work this hard to manage their mental health?

-Belina Fruitman, licensed clinical social worker ate degree in social work at the University of Denver.

She later managed a mentalhealth residential program and taught at Metropolitan State University before founding A Woman’s Way to Recovery.

To make sure everyone can find their “way,” Fruitman accepts Medicaid and some health insurance and offers a sliding scale for payment.

“I don’t want to turn anyone away,” she said.

While Fruitman says the stigma of mental health— even for men—has lessened

in the last couple of decades, she wishes mental “checkups” were more common.

“I think we’ve made huge progress over the last several years, but I think there’s more to be done,” she said. “I wish everybody had a therapist to check in with every now and then.”

Visit Denver announces dates for 2018 Denver Restaurant Week Will feature the same tiered pricing structure as 2017; event to help celebrate Denver’s recent culinary honors

The 14th annual Denver Restaurant Week, presented

by Lexus, will take place Feb. 23 – March 4, 2018, maintaining the popular 10-day, twoweekend timeframe that began in 2015. Also staying is the three-tiered price point format that provided both diners and restaurants more choices in 2017; participating restaurants will select a $25, $35 or $45 price for their menu and create a multi-course dining experience.

More than 250 restaurants participated in 2017, making Denver Restaurant Week one of the largest and most popular restaurant weeks in the country. Registration for next year’s interested restaurants will begin in November, and menus for diners will be posted on DenverRestaurantWeek. com in January 2018.

In 2017, the brand new, tiered pricing structure allowed Denver Restaurant Week to continue to focus on multi-course meals, great deals for diners and a wellrounded representation of Denver’s ever-changing, ever-expanding food scene.

The $25 price point was the lowest-ever for Denver Restaurant Week, below the original $26.40 per person when the program offered a $52.80-for-two price point for its first nine years. Additionally, the slightly elevated $35 or $45 per person prices compelled several of the city’s finest chef owned restaurants to return or participate for the first time, allowing more representation for restaurants on both ends of the dining scale.

Much like Denver’s res-

taurant scene in general, Denver Restaurant Week has evolved over the past several years. Now, with the various pricing options, two full weekends and a full week, it has become true representation of the emerging hotspots, long-time favorites and everything in between throughout Denver’s diverse neighborhoods and across the entire metro area “Denver is recognized both domestically and around the world for our innovative cuisine and chefs,” says Richard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver, The Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Denver Restaurant Week was originally designed as a celebration of the city’s culinary scene.

Heading in to 2018, there has been profound growth in Denver in terms of new restaurants, thought leadership and accolades, and Denver Restaurant Week will once again highlight the city’s continually evolving and always creative food and beverage scene.”

More than 220 restaurants opened in Denver in 2016, and two Denver chefs were semifinalists for the prestigious 2017 James Beard Awards. Denver has seen explosive growth in dining options, with new collaborative local marketplaces, chef-driven restaurants, brew-houses and hyper-local fine dining springing up across the city’s neighborhoods; and renowned culinary guide, Zagat, named Denver the third “Hottest Food City” in late-2016. In July, the Mile High City hosted the firstever U.S. Slow Food Nations, an offshoot of the renowned Terra Madre event in Turin Italy; and later this year Denver and Colorado will take the national stage as the host of Season 15 of renowned culinary show, “Top Chef.”

Tami Lack, executive director of Colorado Neurological Institute, cuts the ribbon as Randy Penn, director of the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce, looks on. CNI celebrated its new home, 750 W. Hampden Ave. in Englewood, on Sept. 14 after moving down the road last month from its previous location at Swedish Medical Center.

CNI offers the latest in neurological research, treatment and rehabilitation. The only nonprofit neuroscience organization of its kind in the Rocky Mountain region, has been providing research, education and state-of-the-art patient services for those with neurological conditions since 1988.

Secretary of State Williams speaks on voter integrity Cherry Creek Republican Women were treated to a lesson in voting by Wayne Williams.

The highest vote-getting Colorado secretary of state is a sentimental favorite keynote speaker for the organization, as he made his formal announcement when he first ran for the state office immediately following one of the group’s monthly meetings.

Williams was El Paso County clerk and recorder from 2011 to 2015, successfully running elections in Colorado’s most populous county. He has a history of working with both parties and has been sought after for recall elections.

He was also the first sitting county election official to be elected secre-

the the

tary of state and the first Colorado secretary of state to earn the nationally recognized Certified Elections/Registration Administrator designation.

Along with election changes, some interesting statistics were revealed. Colorado is No. 1 in the nation for the highest number of registered voters. After the cure period of the last election, only 21,000 votes did not count. Unaffiliated voters vote at a lower rate than affiliated voters. Voter rolls are purged daily.

“I love what I do,” said Williams, who practiced law before entering politics. “My goal is not to advance an agenda, but to make doing business with Colorado convenient.

My job is to follow through with the law.”

South Suburban places two questions on November ballot In addition to city council races across the south metro area, voters within the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District will have two other questions to consider.

The elected Board of Directors has approved two issues to be placed on the Nov. 7 mail-in ballot. The first focuses on the maintenance of assets. The second would enhance and build new facilities. Neither would raise existing taxes, but would extend the current mill levies, approved in 2010 and 2014.

Issue 4B would use the money to maintain and conserve natural areas, open space and parks; maintain and improve walking, biking and hiking trails; repair and improve existing parks, recreation facili-

ties and playgrounds; replace outdated mechanical equipment with new energy-saving systems, including renewable energy; and save water by replacing inefficient irrigation systems in parks and using untreated water where feasible.

The second question, 4C, will ask voters to allow South Suburban to increase its debt to improve trail connectivity, as well as fund water and energy efficiencies and improve and repair recreation

facilities; build a new indoor multigenerational facility, and upgrade existing playgrounds and parks.

For the full ballot language and more information about the special election, visit ssprd.org/election.

Calls to several members of the South Suburban Board of Directors had not been returned at press time.

Ballots are expected to arrive in the mail the week of Oct. 16.

Cherry Creek High School alum receives Department of Energy graduate fellowship A former Cherry Creek High School student is attending graduate school at Colorado State University this fall on a U.S. Department of Energy fellowship.

Benjamin Toms, formerly of Aurora, was one of less than 5 percent of applicants to receive the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF).

Toms, a 2011 Cherry Creek graduate, is studying toward a doctoral degree in Atmospheric Science.

The fellowship, adminis-

tered by the Krell Institute of Ames, Iowa, is funded by the DOE’s Office of Science and the National Nuclear Security Administration.

Each year, the program grants fellowships to support doctoral students whose education and research focus on using highperformance computers to solve complex science and engineering problems of national importance.

Fifth-graders take to state Capitol for Constitution Day Rally Over 100 fifth-grade students from two Denver-area schools marched on the Colorado State Capitol to celebrate Constitution Day and civic education Sept. 15.

The nonpartisan rally, sponsored by the Denverbased Liberty Day Institute began with a gathering and speakers on the West Steps of the Colorado State Capitol. A number of dignitaries, including Attorney General Cynthia Coffman and Deputy Secretary of State Suzanne Staiert, addressed the crowd of students and adults. Fifthgraders from the Denver Center for International Studies at Fairmont and St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School will speak as well.

“We are thrilled to host this unique rally on the Capitol steps in celebration of Constitution Day and as a message of the importance of civic education in schools,” said Andy McKean, founder and president emeritus. “Even more, I’m excited that this will be our official kickoff to a statewide initiative that will reach more than 50,000 fifth graders

in the 2017-2018 school year.”

With the support of Rotary and Optimist Clubs, civic and political organizations, a large grant from the Daniels Fund, and others, the institute has raised nearly $55,000 so far to distribute constitution booklets with Q&A flashcards, along with teaching materials, to more than 50,000 students throughout Colorado.

The rally serves as a formal kickoff for the campaign. It was led by the institute’s entertaining, proprietary character, Jefferson Quincy Washington III, aided by President and CEO Jimmy Sengenberger.

“Democrats and Republicans alike have long supported the institute’s nonpartisan civic education program, and we are so grateful for that support,” said Sengenberger.

Among the guest speakers were Coffman, Staiert, House Assistant Minority Leader Cole Wist, and former Ambassador Sam Zakhem, along with gubernatorial candidates Doug Robinson, Greg Lopez, and Steve Barlock.

academic allowance, renewable for up to four years. In return, recipients must complete courses in a scientific or engineering discipline plus computer science and applied mathematics. They also must do a three-month research practicum at one of 21 DOE laboratories or sites across the country.

Toms joins a group of 20 first-year fellows in 2017, bringing the total number of current DOE CSGF recipients to 79 students in 14 states.

LPS ‘Accredited with Distinction’ by Colorado Department of Education Littleton Public Schools has retained the designation of “Accredited with Distinction” for 2017, according to the Colorado Department of Education’s recently released preliminary academ-

Additionally, all LPS

schools earned the highest plan rating on the state’s scoring rubric.

Performance frameworks will be finalized later this fall after the reconsideration process has been concluded.

The overflowing world of Aurora water Still waters run deep in informative, up-close tour Friends of mine in Arapahoe County urged me to apply early this summer to be invited on the Aurora Water Tour in late August.

I filled out the forms, and several weeks later I was informed by Greg Baker, manager of Aurora Water public relations, that I would be included in the 50 guests going on the tour.

I received the interesting itinerary for the tour that started Aug. 29 at 6:45 a.m. at the Binney Water Purification Facility on East Quincy Avenue past the Centennial

The first stop on our two-day journey was the proposed site of the future Wild Horse Reservoir located in South Park. Note the natural terrain well-suited for the new water storage area.

Race Track. We adhered to that schedule perfectly for the entire well executed tour.

With a little uncertainty about how to find the plant, I left home at 6 a.m. and was almost the first arrival at 6:30 a.m. I was greeted warmly by staff setting up tables, chairs

and a bagel spread. I was given an attractive black pouch containing booklets, snack, and sunscreen, along with an Aurora Water baseball cap.

Early arrivals were taken on a tour of the plant, where we saw the reusable metro water from the Platte River flow-

ing down a waterfall, coming from Brighton, where Aurora is recapturing and processing this reusable water through a complex process.

The Aurora reservoir is right next door to Binney, and that lake is filled with clean, fresh water sent down from

Fifth stop: Box Creek Reservoir

A short distance northward found us driving by huge mounds of gravel left over from sluice mining of a streambed in search of gold.

This 80-acre placer claim called the Stork and Heron was forfeited to Lake County for back taxes and was rezoned to rural by in 2001 to protect the open-space values.

In total, approximately 8,270 acres of land astride the Arkansas River has been set aside for preservation as open space through a combination of purchases, conservation easements, stewardship-trust protection, contractual agreement and resolutions.

The Box Creek Reservoir site has been proposed to be another Aurora Water project at some point. The site still is home to rustic structures that make for historic photographs against Colorado’s highest mountains. There may be some gold left in the area, which makes for harder purchase negotiations.

The group was in awe of the terrain and the beauty of the old barns and structures.

The owner fell from his rooftop perch into his fireplace and died, local history says.

A final lunch was prepared by the hard-working Aurora Water staff, and we had another short hop up to an overview of Twin Lakes below Mount Elbert.

Heading toward Denver through historic Leadville, we reached I-70 near Vail.

We arrived shortly after 5 p.m.

It was a grand and glorious two days. Every Colorado resident should be as fortunate as myself to share the warm mountain sunshine, beautiful South Park and the majestic terrain of the Arkansas Valley stretching to historic Leadville, which was once deemed to be the future Capitol of Colorado in booming mining days.

This was a great tour, run like a fine gold watch

by Greg Baker, Marshall Brown, and his deputies and staff, who know how to run tours and operate massive water projects, while looking to future water needs for the Front Range citizens of Colorado.

Denver Ballet Guild welcomes it’s

50 th Anniversary of Le Bal de Ballet honorees SUBMITTED BY HILARY MORLAND AND KARI STEWART golden anniversary is a very special event, and excitement was in the air on Sept. 10 when the Denver Ballet Guild welcomed its 50th year of Le Bal de Ballet honorees at an announcement reception at Cherry Hills Country Club.

This year’s 32 debutantes and 21 young men of distinction represent 17 different Colorado schools, and are an outstanding group of high school seniors selected for their achievements in academics, athletics, arts and leadership.

The honorees play every sport under the sun and are state and league champions, school presidents, team captains, editors, poets, actors, dancers, horseback riders, and world travelers.

They are involved in speech and debate, mock

trials, politics and student government. One honoree is a lawyer for Aurora teen court and some have already committed to play college sports.

They are amazing philanthropists who give back to our state in incredible ways.

Chair Kari Stewart says, “It is a special year for the Denver Ballet Guild and we are so proud to be celebrating 50 years of Le Bal de Ballet. It is my honor to be working with this group of outstanding honorees. Tonight was a wonderful celebration of their extraordinary accomplishments. I can’t wait to see what the future brings these fabulous young men and women.”

The honorees celebrate this special year with a full schedule of social and community-service events, which started with a day of service at Children’s Hospital Colorado. The Bal de Ballet year culminates in an honoree presentation at

the Ellie Caulkins Opera House on June 9, 2018, followed by a celebratory dinner and dancing at the Sheraton Hotel.

The 50th anniversary-year theme is a Golden Celebration, and the funds raised by the program go directly to the Denver Ballet Guild’s many programs supporting dance companies and dance education in the community.

Kari Stewart is joined by co-chair Julie Bearup and honorary chair Denise Nalen and a large committee of Denver Ballet Guild volunteers.

Marlo Wagner is president of the Denver Ballet Guild.

Nominations for the 2019 Le Bal de Ballet will be accepted until January 2018. Information can be found at denverballetguild.org/Le Bal de Ballet.

Rocky Mountain MS Center presents ‘Expressions of MS’

Photo by Tommy Collier Fur and YSL vintage jewelry from Dan Sharp

Now on the verge of its 40th anniversary, the Rocky Mountain Multiple Sclerosis Center was founded in 1978 as one of the country’s first comprehensive facilities dedicated to the treatment and study of MS. Its mission is to improve the quality of life of individuals and their families living with MS and related neurological diseases through care, support, education and research.

In 2008, the center was established through a collaborative partnership with the University of Colorado Foundation and the University of Colorado Hospital.

Board Chair Del Arnold emphasized that 100 percent of funds raised go directly to the programs that serve patients and families throughout and beyond the Rocky Mountain region. Under the center’s auspices are direct care, support programs, patient and community education, and cutting-edge research.

MS is a disease with many symptoms that are invisible—things like fatigue, vision problems, vertigo and pain that is not always obvious to family, friends and

loved ones. A powerful video to boost awareness gave a deeper look into some of the changes created by the brain in those suffering from MS. Works by artist Sarah Richter were exhibited. Her “Sensory Paradox” installation was featured last year at the Center for Bioethics and Humanities on the Anschutz Medical Campus.

In addition to Board Chair Del Arnold, officers include Michael Persichette, David Geonetta, Kimberly Eilber and Louise Richardson. Ex-officio members are CEO Gina Berg and Medical Director Timothy Vollmer, M.D.

Patti Murin (Anna) and John Riddle as Hans in Frozen.

Young performers take to the stage to help local actors facing medical challenges stay on stage

No chilly reception—‘Frozen’ will be Broadway’s next big hit

BY CLAUDIA CARBONE CONTRIBUTOR If audience reactions are any gauge of a play’s success, Frozen will be a smash hit.

The audience on Sept.

14 at the Buell Theater cheered and clapped enthusiastically during and after the two-and-a-half-hour performance, and everyone left with a smile.

That’s exactly what Disney’s creative team wants to see as it develops and experiments with its adaptation of the 2013 movie, the all-time biggest animated box-office hit. They chose Denver to launch the test run of the musical through Oct. 1 before it debuts on Broadway in February of next year.

But this was no dress rehearsal. The show has evolved into a slick, perfectly executed, beautifully staged, technically brilliant Broadway-worthy production. What’s more, it’s not a carbon copy of the film.

It has more music, more dancing and deeper character and plot development than the film, making it a story for all ages that’s per-

fectly suited for the stage.

Disney nails it.

Like other recent animated Disney films (Moana, Pocahontas, Little Mermaid), Frozen features strong female characters that don’t need a handsome prince to save them. This story is about Elsa, a princess cursed with the magical powers of manipulating ice and snow, and her highspirited sister Anna, who is totally devoted to Elsa.

When Elsa accidentally engulfs her kingdom in perpetual winter, she runs away to live solo in an ice palace (“conceal, don’t feel”). Brave Anna sets out on a journey with mountain man Kristoff and his reindeer Sven to find her and save the realm. Along the way they meet an adorable snowman, Olaf, and other characters—good and evil—and Anna learns how to really love.

“Love is putting other’s needs before yours,” Kristoff says.

They are reunited with Elsa, only to have her strike her sister with a nearly fatal ice blow to the heart that can only be healed

with an act of true love. You might be surprised.

“This is a female take on sacrifice and loyalty,” coproducer Anne Quart said.

Caissie Levy is Grace Kelly-esque as Elsa, and she really lets go with her rendition of the Oscar-winning hit song “Let It Go,” which every American girl knows by heart.

Patti Murin is endearing as Anna, especially in the duet “Love is an Open Door” with Hans (the token handsome prince) played

by John Riddle. Jelani is a strong, down-to-earth mountaineer shadowed by reindeer Sven, admirably played by Andrew Pirozzi.

Greg Hildreth is the puppeteer behind an adorable Olaf, who shines in his “In Summer” routine.

Frozen features music and lyrics by the creators of the film score, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, and book by Jennifer Lee, the film’s writer and co-director. The director is Michael Grandage, choreographer is Rob Ashford.

What do most kids do when they want to raise money for charity? Set up a lemonade stand, organize a car wash…? What do theatre kids do when they want to support their favorite charity? They put on a show!

Together, with a little help from some of the Denver theatre community’s biggest names, a group of 13 young local performers, are mounting a must-see production of 13: The Musical to benefit the Denver Actors Fund on October 8 at the Denver JCC’s Wolf Theatre. This smash Broadway, coming of age musical, is a grownup story about growing up, featuring an all-teenage cast.

The members of this young cast have themselves grown up on professional stages throughout the Denver metro area.

Front Range theatregoers may have seen this group of talented young adults perform at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, the Arvada Center, BDT Stage, Littleton Town Hall Arts Center, Lone Tree Arts Center, Midtown Arts Center, Candlelight Dinner Theatre, Parker PACE Center, The Aurora Fox, Vintage Theatre and more.

Because the local theatre community has had a major impact on all of these performers’ lives, they wanted to give back to that community in the best way they know how. They came up with the idea to “put on a show” and immediately got to work making arrangements and raising funds to support the production costs so that proceeds from all of the ticket sales will go directly to the Denver Actors Fund.

Arapahoe Philharmonic conductor on world stage Arapahoe Philharmonic Music Director Devin Patrick Hughes was selected from among hundreds of conductors around the world to compete in the 2017 Solti International Conducting Competition in Budapest and Pécs, Hungary.

Maestro Hughes has brought the Arapahoe Philharmonic to new artistic heights and community engagement over the past five seasons, and is highly regarded for his exhilarating score interpretations, advocacy for music accessibility, innate passion, and entrepreneurial vigor.

In addition to his work with the Arapahoe Philharmonic, Hughes concurrently serves as music di-

rector of the Boulder Symphony and Denver’s Civic Youth Orchestra. In 2010 he was the only American selected with 11 other conductors worldwide to compete in the Toscanini International Conducting Competition in Parma, Italy, in honor of the famed maestro of the New York Philharmonic and La Scala, Arturo Toscanini.

Hughes performed as a conducting fellow at the American Academy of Conducting at Aspen and has conducted orchestras across North America and Europe.

The real Jimmy Stewart-the silver-screen legend’s life was admirable off the screen as well his bedside that he was “going to be with Gloria now.”

Throughout the years, Stewart became known for various philanthropic accomplishments. One of the most notable was the Jimmy Stewart Relay Marathon, launched in 1982 as an annual fundraiser for the Child and Family Development Center located at the St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif.

Having been a Boy Scout as a youth and a Scout leader as an adult, Stewart was also

BY ERIC KOHANIK REMIND MAGAZINE He was as All-American as anyone could possibly be on the silver screen, so it’s no wonder that Jimmy Stewart became a Hollywood legend that everyone adored.

Onscreen, Stewart was widely revered for many film classics, including Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Philadelphia Story, Rear Window, Vertigo and, of course, It’s a Wonderful Life. Offscreen, meanwhile, Stewart was remembered favorably as well, thanks to a personal life that was wholesome and admirable.

James Maitland Stewart was born in Indiana, Pa., on May 20, 1908. His father owned a hardware store that had been started by Stewart’s grandfather. And, although his mother was an accomplished pianist, Stewart was steered away from taking piano lessons during his boyhood by his father, who had simply expected his son to carry on the family business.

Things changed, though, when Stewart’s father received an accordion as a gift. The youngster quickly learned to master the instrument and, according to multiple accounts, Stewart would go on to play the accordion, mostly offstage, during his entire acting career.

Although Stewart initially studied architecture at Princeton University, he soon became enchanted by Princeton’s Triangle Club — a musical comedy theater organization — leading him to refocus his career ambitions. After graduating in 1932, he became a close pal and roommate of Henry Fonda, sharing apartments in Cape Cod and New York, where the two young men launched their rns with SCAnDAL retu

acting careers in summer-stock productions and on Broadway.

Encouraged by Fonda’s early success in Hollywood, Stewart was urged to take a screen test after a talent scout from MGM spotted him onstage. That led to a steady job as a contract player for the Hollywood studio — and a chance to share yet another apartment with Fonda in Los Angeles.

Stewart was a shy and humble guy. Nevertheless, he had a surprisingly impressive romantic life. In fact, both he and Fonda developed strong reputations as playboys. But Stewart’s image never strayed from the squeaky-clean luster that had always been such an integral part of him.

After briefly dating Ginger Rogers, Stewart ended up in a relationship with Fonda’s exwife, Margaret Sullavan, who had lobbied to have Stewart be her leading man in a 1936 romantic drama called Next Time We Love. After Sullavan, Stewart became involved in a brief — and, according to several sources, quite tumultuous — romance with Hollywood screen queen Norma Shearer.

His amorous escapades after Shearer also included a brief affair with Marlene Dietrich while they were working on a 1939 Western called Destry Rides Again.

Stewart eventually settled down after World War II. He met and married Gloria Hatrick McLean in 1949, adopting both of her young sons from her first marriage. The couple went on to have twin daughters in 1951 and remained together until Gloria’s death in 1994.

Stewart died three years later, at the age of 89, reportedly telling family members gathered at
