Battle looms in Littleton over urban renewal

Opponents plan ballot question to require voter approval

By Peter Jones While Littleton officials tout urban renewal as a cost-effective way for the city to partner with property owners to erase blight and enhance economic development, some Littleton residents are not so sure. If Citizens for Rational Development gets its way, the question may soon be up to city voters.

In association with a loose collective called the Sunshine Boys, the group has been gathering petition signatures to hold a special

If [the ballot question] passes a citizen vote, it will kill urban renewal in the city. It will also kill a lot of economic development.

- Jim Taylor, chair of Littleton Invests for Tomorrow

election on the issue. If the proposed ballot question were to be approved next year, the city charter would be amended to require public approval before the city could condemn “blighted” areas or offer tax benefits to landholders seeking public improvements in those areas.

“What we’re saying is if they want to use that kind of financ-

ing mechanism and redirect our tax dollars from the entities they were intended to go to, they need to ask the voters first,” said Carol Brzeczek, a leading proponent of the ballot initiative. “The $15,000 for a special election is nothing compared to what the school district has at risk over the next 25 years.”

Under the system instituted

by City Council, property owners in any of Littleton’s designated urban-renewal areas are eligible for special funding to help pay for mandated infrastructure improvements, including for such things as pedestrian-related features, landscaping, drainage, parking lots and underground utilities.

Through a process called taxincrement financing, the expected gains in property and sales taxes from such improvements are used to subsidize their construction beforehand. Bonds sold for those projects are eventually paid back through the taxes collected above the pre-urban-renewal levels.

Grayson Robinson

Former sheriff takes interim job in Denver Robinson to lead internal affairs in wake of abuse charges

By Peter Jones Retired Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson is back in the saddle – at least for the time being.

In the wake of several embarrassing incidents for the Denver Sheriff Department, Robinson will lead that office’s beleaguered Internal Affairs Bureau for an interim period of up to 12 months.

Stephanie O’Malley, the city’s executive director of public safety made the announcement on Sept. 22.

The 43-year law enforcement veteran, who stepped down in January before the end of his third and final term in Arapahoe County, has been long known for his evenhandedness and dedication to community-oriented policing.

“We are excited to work with Sheriff Robinson and to benefit from his vast experience and proven track record as a motivational and resultsoriented leader,” O’Malley said this week in a statement.

“It is imperative we resolve the roughly 150 pending internal-affairs cases, and Sheriff Robinson will help achieve that.”

The announcement comes as the City and County of Denver continues to reel from reports of deputy misconduct that culminated in a $3.25 million settlement with a former jail inmate who had been choked by a deputy.

The sheriff’s department is also in the process of hiring seven on-call investigators to help Robinson with the internal-affairs backlog.

The office had been widely criticized for its slow response to abuse allegations, prompting Sheriff Gary Wilson to step down earlier this year.

Robinson comes to the department with a wealth of experience in law enforcement and public policy. Appointed by three governors, Robinson served on the Colorado Criminal and Juvenile Justice Commission for six years and on the Colorado Justice Assistance Board for a decade. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and the Kennedy School of Government’s State and Local Executives Program.

Robinson did not return a request for comment.

Flipping a coin is final solution KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

It’s strange how fortunes can be impacted by the flip of a coin like the Broncos game, Sept. 21. Had we won the toss, we would probably have won the game.

Life and luck can be strange

companions.

Usually, the Broncos figure out a way to win, and they did again against the Seahawks. The last minute drive should have been for a win, not a tie, but even then it would have gone down in history as one of the greatest comebacks in history for the Broncos and QB Manning.

We all need to remember that football is just entertainment and in the case of the Broncos, it is just really great fun and excitement.

It is hard to not be emotionally upset when we lose – but it is just a game, and winning and losing can be decided by the flip of a coin.

Take that a step further. What if we decided elections by just flipping a coin? It would definitely save a lot of time and money.

September REMARKS

By Mort Marks

“For everything, there’s a season and a time to every purpose under the heavens.”

And now it’s our time for a new “season” as those words from Ecclesiastes makes you think about September as its end brings with it the beautiful fall season.

In my mind, I can give each month a face – a personality. I see May, for example, as a wild young woman. Her wind teases us – one moment cold, the next with hints of warmth. May’s the month that flowers risk peeking out of their cocoons to face a sudden sneaky frost. Just like an unbridled, passionate young woman – May cannot be tamed.

But – September is my favorite month, because it’s like “life” it-

self, and the following words from “September Song” tell us why.

“Oh – The days grown short when you reach September, When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flames, I haven’t got time for the waiting game.”

“I haven’t got time for the waiting game” – that says it all.

September – like life itself – is a month struggling to hold on to its youth – just as all of us at one time or another have tried to hold on to our youth.

September reflects “life” because as the days pass by, it has neither the stamina, nor the resilience of May. It has not the strength to drag the day’s warmth into the night – yielding instead to the cold.

Beautiful September cannot carry the mildness of one day to the next – instead it retreats, regroups and revisits us a few days later. And even though it grows older with each passing day – it still has much to offer.

September makes us realize the joy in being alive in Colorado. A lot of it has to do with the colors, but that’s only a minor part of it. It’s also wrapped up in the smells, and sounds and the way the wind, hail, rain, and sun all merge together late in the afternoon and bring a special feeling against your face.

Hire or fire a worker, just flip a coin.

Pass or fail a class, another coin flip.

There is something very honest about a coin flip. Called in the air, it can fall either way and the verdict is final, not open to debate and it resolves the issue very quickly.

It is rather interesting that this is the system worked out by the NFL to decide an OT playoff. College is different; both teams have a chance to either score a touchdown or field goal. The team that scores the most points wins the contest.

I once used a coin flip to settle an argument between two cab drivers at 5 a.m. Heading home from a conference, I encountered two cars and cab drivers in the hotel driveway arguing about who should take

For me, the beauty and mystique of living in this state unfolds during this month. There’s something urgent about each day when you’re uncertain how many more are straggling behind.

Each day counts, October is knocking on the door. By months end it no longer knocks quietly, but demands to be let in.

There is something revitalizing when our frosty mornings turn into mild, pleasant sunny afternoons, and the evening horizons turn into a brilliant orange sunset.

Because of such Septembers, we are more than willing to suffer hot days of July and August. For autumns in Colorado, I’m even willing to suffer the snows of February.

In many ways, September is a bookend of May, with its fluctuating temperatures and moods. But, for all its beauty and splendor, it’s weak. Often a gentle southerly breeze is bullied and overpowered by a cold snap from the northwest in as short a time as it takes a leaf to fall to the ground.

Oh – September still teases us with glimpses of summer, but how much longer can the sun be considered a friend? Already it’s beginning to shy away, tiring each evening.

In the case of May, we always

me to the airport at this early hour?

Driver No. 1 had been there for hours, but had to leave for a bathroom break. While he was gone, another cab arrived. He returned to his first position and was confronted by driver No. 2.

I came out heading to the airport to confront the two drivers, almost at blows, over who was on first base for the next fare, that being me.

I pulled out a quarter and said, “Let’s flip a coin and settle this right now.” They both agreed.

Driver No. 2 called “heads” and it came out “tails. “ He departed slightly disgruntled and driver No. 1, who had been there earlier, was the winner.

No debate, quick decision, end of story.

knew that June would be just around the corner with its unbreakable promise of sunshine and long evenings.

Unfortunately, there’s no promise of a June or July on the other side of September – only an October, November and December – January, February and on to March.

In spite of that shortcoming, Septembers are never forgotten when they are gone. We remember how the yellows, the reds, and the oranges mixed like perfect partners, hanging in the aspens while snatching our break away.

We remember the rustle of those same September leaves as we trampled across our lawns. And, we’ll ponder over the smell of those glorious leaves that trigger something in us that makes us long for a place where it’s always September.

Yes – we’ll long for a place where the winds are incapable of teasing and are always gentle and kind – where our youth isn’t fleeting, but eternal, and – where September leaves never fall.

Here in Colorado, Mother Nature’s purpose is always presenting us with a beautiful September is to open our eyes to “LIFE” and to remind us that as our aspens begin to change their colors – there is “for everything a season, and a purpose.”

Restoration plantings and new vegetation take hold following Phase 1 of a major riverenhancement in South Platte Park.

Photo courtesy of South Suburban Parks and Recreation

Channel work to begin in South Platte River Excavators and quarry trucks are mobilizing towards a wild stretch of the South Platte River in Littleton as Phases 2 and 3 of a major river-enhancement project are slated to begin Sept. 22 in South Platte Park near the Carson Nature Center.

In 2013, Phase 1 construction altered a quarter-mile stretch of the South Platte River to assess some of the habitat-restoration techniques. The next two phases of the project will cover nearly 2.25 miles of the river and may continue into early summer 2015.

The impetus behind the project is that the South Platte River is not as big as it used to be. While the channel size has not changed, the sinuosity (length over distance) has been reduced by urbanization and channel-shaping flood forces have been interrupted by flood-control dams.

In addition, a significant amount of water has been appropriated for use in farms, factories and homes.

As the river was tamed for a growing population, the river ecosystems have been placed out of balance. Today, the river is often a

consistent depth of just a few inches spread out 120 feet across the channel, which provides little habitat variation or refuge for aquatic life.

Restoration plantings have helped hide signs of heavy equipment and access points into the river. Wildlife has returned to the project area to breed the first season after the project.

When complete, Phases 2 and 3 of the project will stretch from C-470, two and a half miles downstream to Reynolds Landing Park. Trail users can expect occasional delays on bike and walking trails, and anglers may see parts of the river closed this winter.

The project is designed to be completed before spring runoff, so boating and tubing should not be affected.

South Platte Park visitors can expect to see and hear heavy equipment operating in a few small sections of the river.

Protections will be in place to minimize water-quality impacts and the work will cause some muddiness in the water. Wintering waterfowl may be displaced to other parts of the park or local area for

this season, but should return next winter.

After construction, it will take a few years to combat pioneering weeds. Restoration planting and seeding efforts are planned.

While the manipulation of the river system may be disruptive to park visitors, when the work is complete the river system will offer a healthier habitat for fish and wildlife. It will take a few years to re-grow vegetation and combat weeds, but the wildlife and wild look will return.

The goal of the project is to create a more vibrant river system with a healthier habitat for fish and wildlife. Funding partners for the project include Arapahoe County Open Space, the City of Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Urban Drainage and Flood Control, Trout Unlimited and several grants including from the Colorado Water Conservation Board and Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

Plans and updates will be posted at www.sspr.org/nature. The public is welcome to call the Carson Nature Center at 303-730-1022.

Proposal would require public vote on urban renewal Continued from Page 1 It amounts to a good deal all around, according to Jim Taylor, the former Littleton City Councilmember who chairs the Board of Directors for Littleton Invests for Tomorrow, the city’s urbanrenewal authority.

Taylor disputes Brzeczek’s argument that tax-increment financing hurts Littleton Public Schools, South Suburban Parks and Recreation or any other taxing entity that gets a piece of Littleton’s property-tax pie. That is because the increased taxes going to LIFT would never have been generated in the first place without the urban-renewal designation and the resulting improvements.

“If it wasn’t for the redevelopment being done, there would be no increase at all in value.

They’re using that as part of their fear mongering,” Taylor said.

“If [the ballot question] passes a citizen vote, it will kill urban renewal in the city. It will also kill a lot of economic development.

All the surrounding communities have urban-renewal boards.

Developers are going to go someplace else.”

That would be just fine with Brzeczek, who rejects the claim that government incentives are needed more than the free market. She points to the failings of the former Littleton Riverfront Authority, a city board created in 1980 to facilitate the somewhat ill-fated revitalization of a 25-acre parcel adjacent the South Platte River.

If they want to … redirect our tax dollars from the entities they were intended to go to, they need to ask the voters first.

- Carol Brzeczek, Citizens for Rational Development

Two proposed areas

LIFT has recently proposed two new urban-renewal areas that have been OK’d by the Littleton Planning Board and will go to the City Council for final approval next month. The areas include much of a stretch of Santa Fe Drive between Prince Street and C-470 and an area near West Belleview Avenue and Federal Boulevard that includes the former Columbine Square shopping center.

As required by state law, both areas, according to LIFT, contain at least 4 of 11 factors within the legal definition of “blight.” Those factors can include dilapidated buildings, outdated or faulty infrastructure, a lack of curbs, gut-

ters or sidewalks, flood-zone designations and deteriorating parking lots.

With benefit of hindsight, Brzeczek is skeptical of LIFT’s insistence that those two areas are in any more need of tax-increment financing than some other projects that have been completed recently in Littleton without it.

“I’d like to see their crystal ball,” she said. “We’ve got Breckenridge Brewery going in and King Soopers is redeveloping their property. Aspen Grove has developed without urban renewal.”

Taylor stresses that the touted Breckenridge Brewery, which is slated to open next year along the South Platte River, received a tax incentive from the city. He also stresses that the 21st century LIFT has come a long way since the days of the Littleton Riverfront Authority.

“Things are very different now than they were in the 1980s. The laws have changed dramatically,” he said. “The Riverfront Authority had the ability to condemn a piece of property for economicdevelopment purposes. That’s prohibited by law now.”

Citizens for Rational Development must collect more than 3,000 signatures to initiate a special election, which would be conducted in February 2015.

That vote would come after City Council’s decision in October about the two proposed areas and an associated 25 years of available infrastructure financing.

St. Mary’s Academy kicks off 150th celebration Alumnae Weekend, Oct. 2–5

By Jan Wondra They gathered at the northwest corner of University and Quincy, around a sturdy sign, shrouded in paper. Once the wrapping was removed by Mayor Doug Tisdale and Deirdre Cryor, president of St. Mary’ s Academy, the important anniversary date became clear; this 2014-2015 school year marks the 150th year of operation for St. Mary’s Academy.

Just days after the start of the school year, and with visitors streaming by Cherry Hills Country Club and the start of the BMW Golf Tournament, the location, just north of the school campus, is an obvious choice for the sign.

“It’s a high visibility spot,” said Mayor Tisdale, in his congratulations to the school officials gathered for the sign unveiling. “Especially this week.”

“This is the start of a wonderful year for the school,” said Cryor.

“While it is customary on an anniversary to look back at what we have accomplished, what we find throughout the history of St. Mary’s Academy is that this is a school that has always looked and moved forward. Celebrating the past is good, but the future is ahead of us.”

St. Mary’s Academy began Aug. 1, 1864, at 14th and California streets

in Denver. For 50 years it grew within the boundaries of Denver. In 1911, the school erected a new building to house and educate boarding students at Loretto Heights, located at Wadsworth and Hampden. Shortly after, it opened a new day school at 14th and Pennsylvania. The legendary Molly Brown was both the school’s next-door neighbor and a benefactor of the school. Among the many stories from that era are the tales of students running into the Browns’ backyard to retrieve balls accidentally kicked over the fence at recess.

In 1951, nearly 100 years into its existence, SMA purchased the Hickerson Farm in rural Cherry Hills Village. At the time, it had one large building that housed classes for kindergarten through 12th grades. In 1964, as it celebrated its 100th anniversary, SMA laid the cornerstone for the high school building, Bonfils Hall. Half the cost of the building was covered by a $500,000 gift from Helen Bonfils, secretary-treasurer of The Denver Post.

In 1998, the school was named a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education, and that same year, it embarked on a long-range master plan on which it is still at work. The plan calls for a new middle school building, community building, performing arts center, auxiliary gym and site improvements. Today, the picturesque campus, with the breathtaking views of the Colorado Rock-

ies, includes five buildings, with a sixth under construction to house the middle school. The school includes a pre-kindergarten though eighth grade classes for boys and girls, as well as a high school for girls.

“Each time the school has changed location, it has been to serve a larger enrollment and meet the changing needs of the school,” said Cryor. “The curriculum has never stayed still. The professional development of our teachers has been a priority throughout our history.”

The school is enlisting the help of The Villager to track down the earliest St. Mary’s Academy students they can find. So far they have located Alumna Suzanne Graham, Class of ‘54, who is planning on attending the Alumnae Weekend, Oct. 2 – 5.

She began her education in 1942 at the Penn Street campus and graduated in 1954 from the current SMA campus. Alumna Rita Lynch Higgins, class of 1944, is also returning for the weekend’s events.

If you are an early alumni of SMA, or know someone who is, contact Susan Hennessy at shennessy @smant.org.

“Generations of children have attended St. Mary’s Academy since our founding in 1864,” said Cryor, “and it is the strength of this community that will move us into the future.”

‘USA Today’ names Centennial No. 26 of 50 Best Places to Live Parks, low crime and affordability cited

By Peter Jones The City of Centennial has done it again.

USA Today has ranked the newest city in the immediate metro area as No. 26 on a list of the 50 best places to live in the United States. For the study, 550 areas with a population of at least 65,000, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, were ranked by such variables as crime rates, education and housing affordability. To make the list, cities also had to have positive employment growth and a low unemployment rate, as well as access to certain amenities.

Factors that played into Centennial’s particular ranking included the city’s median household income [$88,598], unemployment rate [6.3 percent], median home value [$305,700], violent crime per

100,000 residents [150.9] and average commuter time [24.7 minutes] Aside from being the Colorado city with the lowest crime rate, Centennial, population 103,743, is known for its open space and business opportunities. The city also received high marks for its schools and award-winning parks and trail system, including the city’s own Centennial Center Park.

“Centennial is a family-friendly suburb of the Mile High City,” USA Today writes. “The area boasts one of the lowest property-crime rates of cities reviewed and very strong schools. Most notably, students in the area test very highly in science and math relative to the state and the nation.”

The suburban city’s proximity to Denver was also no coincidence.

“Many of the best cities are located near major cities, as this proximity provides residents with access to good schools and safe neighbor-

hoods, while also allowing them to enjoy the amenities available in the nearby larger cities,” the newspaper reported.

Centennial has been frequently cited positively on national rankings. Aside from a now-annual designation as the Colorado city with the lowest crime rate, the municipality has been recognized in such areas as home ownership, benefits for job seekers, and “equity.” The city has made Money magazine’s list of the 100 Best Places to Live in the United States.

Centennial was among three Colorado cities to make USA Today’s list of the best places. The others were Fort Collins (25) and Longmont (31). The top five cities nationally were Newton, Mass.; Bellevue, Wash.; Mountain View, Calif.; Pleasanton, Calif.; and Evanston, Ill. None of the nation’s largest cities made the list due largely to their crime and poverty rates.

State lawyers demand Amendment 68 campaign pull false ads Submitted by Don’t Turn Racetracks Into Casinos The Office of Legislative Legal Services Friday sent a scathing cease-and-desist letter to the sponsors of Amendment 68 demanding that the campaign stop presenting a “false reading” of a report from the state auditor in its advertising and stop misrepresenting the state auditor and her office as having taken a position in favor of the controversial ballot measure.

Amendment 68 would allow a Rhode Island company to open a Las Vegas-style casino at a horse racetrack in Arapahoe County. To make the proposal more attractive to voters, proponents are promising it will create a new funding source for public schools.

The objectionable ad states “Auditor Says Colorado Schools Need Funding” and features the logo of the Office of State Auditor. The let-

ter from Legislative Legal Services notes: “Nowhere does the audit report state any conclusions of either the OSA or Auditor Ray that ‘Colorado Schools Need Funding.’ It is simply a false reading of the report to use the objective and limited factual findings to draw the tendentious conclusion supporting Amendment 68 you are attributing to OSA or Auditor Ray.” “This is the second time supporters of Amendment 68 have been caught lying in their advertising,” said Bill Cadman, chairman of the campaign opposing Amendment 68. “The first time, they had to pull a television ad that falsely portrayed one of their supporters as being with Mesa County Schools. There are so many unknowns in Amendment 68 that they left to be worked out after the election. If they take this many liberties with the truth before the election, imagine how they’ll deal

with us after the vote, after they are locked into the Constitution.”

The cease-and-desist letter notes that Colorado law “prohibits the knowing or reckless broadcasting of a false statement designed to affect the vote on a ballot measure” and that “a violation of these statutory provisions results in the imposition of criminal penalties.”

The letter demands that the campaign in support of Amendment 68 “cease and desist from making, publishing, broadcasting or circulating any advertisement or other form of communications” that includes the logo of the Office of State Auditor, “contains any statement that would cause a reasonable person to conclude that the OSA or Auditor Ray is supporting...Amendment 68” or contains any statement from the OSA, Auditor Ray, or any employee of the OSA in effect that Colorado schools need additional funding.”

Littleton to receive immigration grant Feds announce grant recipients during Constitution Week

By Peter Jones U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has recently awarded nearly $10 million in grants to 40 organizations – including the City of Littleton’s Immigrant Resources Center – that help permanent residents prepare and apply for U.S. citizenship. The organizations will receive federal funding to support citizenship-preparation services for permanent residents through September 2016.

Littleton’s Immigrant Resources Center at Bemis Library is an awardwinning program that helps immigrants connect to community services, learn English and apply for U.S.

citizenship. Harvard’s Bright Idea program and the National League of Cities have recognized the program.

This year’s grant funds will be used in Littleton to offer small group citizenship classes, individual tutoring and naturalization application services. Additionally, the grant will allow the program to create a new Spanish Citizenship Education class and fund two full-time employees who will provide citizenship education and legal services.

Since 2009, the USCIS Citizenship and Integration Grant Program has awarded a total of $43 million through 222 competitive grants to public or private nonprofit organizations in 35 states and the District of Columbia. Now in its sixth year, the program has helped more than 93,000 permanent residents prepare for citizenship.

“Our Citizenship and Integration

Letter to the Editor Thank you Coffman for helping VA

As a concerned World War II veteran, I’m proud of Congressman Mike Coffman, and I admire the work he is doing to get this VA Hospital mess straightened out. This summer, I

kept reading about Mike taking the VA to task over this secret wait list business. Now I hear (or read) that he led the way on legislation that will finally get the VA Hospital in Aurora off the ground and completed. This is going to have a huge impact on the Vets in our region. This

Grant Program is an integral part of our agency’s mission of supporting immigrant integration and participation in American civic culture,” said USCIS Director Leon Rodriguez.

“Grant-recipient organizations located throughout the country are a crucial network of supporters that help tens of thousands of permanent residents access high-quality services and gain access to valuable citizenship information.”

The Littleton program was founded in 2004 during the Littleton Leadership Retreat, where more than 70 residents learned about the large number of people from different cultures moving into the community and discussed how established residents could reach out to the newcomers.

Dozens of restaurants from Del Frisco’s to Cuba Cuba were on hand for a seemingly endless around-the-world culinary trip through south metro Denver and beyond. Although the large crowd had to get a little cuddly at times as tasters made their way through the DoubleTree Hotel Denver Tech Center, the food, drink and opportunities for diverse conversation were plentiful. The annual event is presented by the DTC/Greenwood Village Chamber of Commerce.

arc Thrift Stores Gala offers auctions, dining, fashions and dancing

By Glory Weisberg ashions from some of the 14 local arc Thrift Stores were on the backs of committee volunteers who worked on the arc B♥rn to Be Me! fundraiser that drew 550 people to the Hyatt DTC. “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching” was its theme and the focus was on arc employees with intellectual and developmental disabilities, raising funds for advocacy and services that help enhance their lives and the lives of their families.

Bringing wholehearted respect to this population has grown, as America itself becomes more inclusive, removing stigma and fostering research and more opportunity for a full life.

Emma Sanchez, Aaron Welbert and Beth Goymerac were

F

honorees.

Cydney and Tom Marsh chaired this benefit with support from ticket chairs, Louise Richardson and ARC Community Relations Director, Frances Owens. This was a truly team effort. arc Thrift Stores is led by Lloyd Lewis, president and CEO, and he also headed the corporate effort.

The runway fashion show from arc stores was creative and amazing, and the attitudes of these models was pure joy to watch from the sidelines.

Local TV anchor TaRhonda Thomas was emcee. She was clearly enjoying the silent auction hour before walking the runway with one of the models. The fashion show itself was chaired by Jamie Angelich who seems to be everywhere this year, collecting honor after honor, proof of her dedication to the nonprofit community.

Also on the committee were Kay

Ray, Maggie Scivicque, Nancy Hopper, Kathy McAdoo, Gail Johnson, Nancy Thompson, Patti Dennis, Lee Bowen, Pegie Frazier and others.

Nearly 200 of arc Thrift Stores’ 1,400 employees have a disability and the agency helps them find housing, jobs, medical assistance and services. There are 12 arc chapters. Annually, arc diverts more than 70 million pounds of goods from Colorado landfills and weekly they “repurpose” an average of 202,000 pounds of cloth alone.

A large part of the silent auction featured furniture and accessories, from rocking chairs to picture frames, accent pillows and brightly painted desks.

Champagne & Diamonds Gala funding essential needs for breast cancer patients

By Glory Weisberg Keeping the lights on, gas in the car and feeding yourself and your children are among the reasons women fighting breast cancer need financial help and there to provide it is Sense of Security, a Coloradobased nonprofit dedicated to making sure that patients literally have a sense of security while fighting a lifethreatening battle.

Sense of Security’s main annual benefit, Champagne & Diamonds, drew 350 supporters to dine, bid on live and silent auction items, salute women who are getting or needing help and bring them to the glitzy evening attired in stunning ball gowns provided by Joaquin Soria of Decorative Denver Concrete.

Dinner guests listened intently to testimonials from recipients, grateful for money to get just the essentials paid for. “Emily’s Story” was one riveting example, having a husband deployed to Afghanistan, Emily was raising the couple’s four children when she learned that the youngest had kidney and liver conditions.

As if that wasn’t enough, Emily found a lump in her breast two years later. Emily was all of 33 at the time.

She is now among Sense of Security applicants on a waiting list, one of 60. Husband John was transferred stateside, to Colorado Springs to help his struggling family.

Funds from the benefit are going to reduce the number of applicants waiting for help from the 14-year old nonprofit. In that time SOS has provided more than $1.6 million in financial help to more than 1,050 breast cancer patients. Oh, and by, the way, 1 percent of breast cancer patients are men.

VOA Guild Membership Brunch draws loyal fans and newbies the emotional strength to move on from chronic homelessness to a brighter future. The one facility now has space for 60 women at a time, women who in some cases, were too mentally ill to benefit from short-term help.

“The face of homelessness is women,” VOA Colorado Branch President and CEO, Rev. Dianna Kunz, told brunch guests, but the homeless faces we most often see are of men.

Yes, they do need the help but so do women. Locally, the VOA is dealing with homeless female veterans and domestic violence victims at Brandon Center. On its very invitation to the brunch they asked for towels, toothbrushes, and other ladies’ notions and because these homeless women

often come with their small children, diapers were also on the list.

Barbara Goettelman is staying on as guild president, leading a cadre, including Carolyn Hayes, Marilyn McCroskey, Stana Herbolich, Carol Haycock and Mary Beth Heller.

Western Fantasy, Oct. 18, is the biggest annual local VOA benefit, being followed by Service with Style, a fashion luncheon honoring Mariel dress shop owner, Denise Snyder. That luncheon is Nov. 14 at the Grand Hyatt Pinnacle Room.

Dr. Drew says ‘Colorado’s cannabis law makes me sad’

By Glory Weisberg A packed audience at the Arapahoe House Luncheon heard HLN TV’s “Dr. Drew On Call” anchor and addiction specialist say that Colorado’s cannabis (marijuana) law makes him sad. He said that the younger people who get addicted, the stronger it is and withdrawal takes weeks or more.

Dr. Drew, as he’s known, is actually Dr. Drew Pinsky and his Loveline syndicated radio talk show has been on the air for more than 25 years.

This was the doctor’s second appearance at the luncheon, having been the keynote speaker at the inaugural one, five years ago.

“Hats off to supporters,” he said, noting that addiction is “an interpersonal disease and it requires interpersonal treatment. This kills people all the time.” Drugs are a brain addiction,” he added and that “addiction is a genetic disease, a biological process. One trait is resistance to alcohol.” The gene is called “cheap date” by researchers who are working with flies and even they can have this gene. In humans what can set it off is childhood trauma most often and also contributing to the problem are sexual abuse and low self-esteem.

One example was that of a depressed patient who had a gun in his mouth but “couldn’t leave Vicodin behind” and he, of course, thus lived to tell Pinsky about it. There are also environmental causes and computer games can also be addictive.

Taking audience questions, one person asked, “What do you think of a woman leaving an alcoholic husband and father?”

“The best gift you can give him is to leave him,” Drew replied.

Dr. Drew noted as well the huge amount of legally prescribed painkillers and sleeping drugs like Ambien that this country consumes.

He says abstinence is the only treatment.

The Anschutz Foundation offered to match donations from the luncheon dollar for dollar for $50,000 and out came the checkbooks.

Adrienne Ruston Fitzgibbons and Jack Fitzgibbons chaired this luncheon, being longtime Arapahoe House supporters. Kathy Crapo, Patti Robinson, Charlie McNeil and Quinn Washington were on their committee.

Arapahoe House President and CEO Art Schut and an excellent video noted that the ER is not the best place for addicts and police aren’t trained to work with them.

But Arapahoe House teaches addicts anger management and life skills and this is no quick process.

“The staff is here to hold your hand,” Schut said.

This hand holding is cost effective

Keith Horstman, Arthur Schut, and Helen and Warren Hanks

but about 80 percent or even more of their patients have no health insurance, thus the need to pass the hat, so to speak.

Among the luncheon VIPs were Judy Chiodo, Helen and Warren Hanks, Dick and Jeanne Saunders, Laura Romero, Sarah Treadway, Denise Snyder, Brandon and Michelle Mencini, Jordanna Gibson, Clayton and Christine Powers, Rep. Nancy Todd and Terry Todd, Arlene and Don Johnson, Brad Levin, Clayton and Christine Powers, and Sheryl Blythe.

Arapahoe House opened in 1975, offering substance abuse treatment and mental health services and has 13 locations and offers 20 specialized services. Reach them at www. arapahoehouse.org.

Local organization supports Pakistan women and children Over the past 12 years, local nonprofit organization, the Women’s Development Association, has been working alongside a non-governmental organization in the Lahore region of Pakistan to provide life saving literacy, education and vocational training to impoverished women and children.

WDA is partnering with three local boutiques - Barbara & Company, Heloise and Ted’s Clothiers for “Fashion Passion IV, a Luncheon and Fashion Show”, on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

Open to the public, this charity event will begin at 10 a.m. at Pinehurst Country Club. Proceeds benefit women and children in Pakistan. Ticket prices are $45 per person, or $75 for VIP Runway Seating. A portion of the ticket is tax-deductible and includes the luncheon, fashion show, and incredible holiday hoopla bazaar.

Honorary Chair Mary Louise Lee will kick off the event with a performance. Special guests include Scottie Taylor Iverson, Fashion & Lifestyle Editor for The Villager and owner of Swan Taylor Denver Public Relations, as well as CWDA Program Director Josna Azim from Pakistan.

Illiteracy prevents the social, economic and political development of nations. In Pakistan, more than 100 million people are illiterate, living in conditions of grinding poverty and squalor.

WDA, in partnership with the Christian Women’s Development Association in Pakistan, is responding to this need.

The major objective for WDA and CWDA is to improve the socioeconomic and health conditions of women and children in Lahore, Pakistan. This is achieved through Life Impact classes, which provides literacy, mathematics, health awareness,

women’s rights and vocational training. Approximately, 4,800 women have graduated from first and second year Life Impact Classes, vocational and computer sessions. One hundred and fifty children are continuing in classes right now in six different schools without walls.

More About Women’s Development Association The Women’s Development Association is a nongovernmental 501(c)3 organization based in Greenwood Village. WDA began working in Pakistan in 2000 and has educated more than 4,800 + women and children to date.

This program is on-going and produces marked improvement in approximately 400 women and 150 children per year.

For more information on Fashion Passion IV, contact Valerie Harding at 303-759-5596 or email the WDA at wmndvlmtso@ gmail.com.

Day off enjoying historic downtown Littleton

Mondays are quiet here at the Fleurish desk so we two empty nesters piled into the SUV and headed west down Belleview Avenue to Historic Downtown Littleton.

This is a piece of quaint, smalltown America in the heart of greater Denver that stretches almost to the foothills. The City of Littleton has saved that flavor with storefronts we can just drop into without trying to remember what aisle in a humongous parking lot we stashed the car.

We parked on West Main Street itself. I have to admit that I’d forgotten that Jose’s Mexican

restaurant closed about six months ago so we landed up at Jack-n-Grill, about a half mile away, at the advice of a couple who was parking right in front of Jose’s. Also recommended by us was Merle’s, a more upscale eatery in what was once a gas station, now filling tummies instead of gas tanks.

But what’s more fun than devouring guacamole is dropping into Diane Lessnau’s Soigneé Elegant Attire shop. Just as we started chatting, a mother and teen daughter dropped in and instantly Diane knew to ask, “Are you shopping for homecoming?” “Yes,” mom replied, so off we went and then discovered Angel Concept Fine Gifts.

It was meant to be that a writer who specializes in nonprofit benefit coverage would walk in the door as this shop helps disadvantaged women transform their lives by “providing work-skills training in a retail environment, enabling trainees to build their capabilities and preparing them for stable jobs.”

We lingered here long enough to accurately tell you all that this is a great spot for unique costume

jewelry, kids’ clothes, home decor and informal women’s wear. I got a real Pashmina for a little change from a $20 bill!

The store donates 5-10 percent of merchandise sales to charities helping disadvantaged women and children in metro Denver. Sue Hosier told us that this 501(c)3 needs volunteers and donated high quality goods to be sold at the shop. Please, readers visit www.angelconcept.org.

Also on West Main Street is Hot Pots!, a spot where customers paint the ceramics they choose. It’s a perfect place for indoor weather days with parents or grandparents who have charge of school-age kids on days off or weekends.

Next we strolled into Austin Hauck Men’s Store and Bill Austin is a friendly competitor of other couture-type men’s suits, shirts, ties, etc. We drooled at some awesome garb for guys as one man was being measured for a suit.

If I told you readers who in the family loves chocolate you’d know who and this time the stop at The Chocolate Therapist was somewhat nutritionally justified as they had a

list of Top Antioxidant Foods, based on Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity from the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and the Journal of the American Chemical Society. What they listed as “Undutched” cocoa powder is at the top, with 34,396 units and way down the list with only 890 units is broccoli.

Heading south on Santa Fe to C-470, it took us about 15 minutes to reach our doorstep before school carpools and rush hour got into high gear. Ole!

Bloody Mary Brunch

Colorado Ballet’s Young Patrons will have a Bloody Mary Brunch, Nov. 2, at The Corner Office followed by a performance of Dracula. This group will get a free Bloody Mary and special ticket prices. Center Stage is “moving to a membershipbased format,” so access more details at info@coloradoballet.org.

Liniger gift

As you all read in a previous Villager edition, the Wildlife Experience was donated by Dave Liniger and family to the University of Colorado, a $40 million donation, the biggest real estate donation in CU’s history.

The Experience continues operating and indeed, has its annual gala on Oct. 10. Student vets at CU Denver are the recipients of the funds generated at the gala, dubbing it colorfully, “Combat to Classroom: A Salute to Service.” Specifically, the net goes to a scholarship fund for these vets.

Sure to be there are CU Chancellor Don Elliman and his wife Mary, and Dave and Gail Liniger. Former Green Beret Greg Stube will address gala goers about his experiences and what he and other vets face as they return home, quite different from what they were like before fighting in Afghanistan, where he was injured.

Sure to be a moving evening, visit www.thewildlifeexperience.org or Christopher Goetz 720-488-3339, or email cGoetz@twexp.org.

Nate’s Pass

From the Nathan Yip Foundation we learn that they have a Nate’s Pass at Denver’s East High School, since high school students have to pay to ride DPS buses at $40 a month!

And that is per student. Nate’s Pass is underwriting the cost of RTD bus

passes for the next three school years, getting a discounted price of $19.75 for monthly bus passes.

The foundation also has a Book Trust to provide books to students in low-income families, letting each choose and own $7 worth of book per month from the Scholastic Reading Club. For the next three years students at Cherrelyn Elementary School will be covered by a Nathan Yip Foundation grant. Foundation members go to Cherrelyn to give out the new books and read with them every month.

Wolfe walks from Denver to Vail for 9th straight year in honor of father

Donate to Alzheimer’s research today

This year marks Fred Wolfe’s ninth year to walk from Denver to Vail in honor of his father who died two years after his Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2005. Wolfe, who is 67 and has lived in the Denver area for 43 years, began his journey on Sept. 17 at 6 a.m. at the offices of the Alzheimer’s Association, Colorado chapter, and walked four days until he reached the covered bridge in Vail on Sept. 20.

Large print on his backpack clearly states his cause to all passersby, along with his father’s initials and all of the years he has walked this journey. His backpack weighed exactly 21 pounds, including six and a half pounds of water. In it, he carried flyers about Alzheimer’s that he distributed to everyone he met throughout his four-day walk.

This walk is personal for Wolfe, who pledged to make these annual pilgrimages to Vail as he sat by his father’s bedside feeling helpless and unable to help his dying father who was an avid mountain climber.

“I knew I had to do something, and if my dad were alive today, he would be walking with me to spread awareness and raise funds to help put an end to this devastating disease,” said Wolfe.

Over the years, Wolfe has been interviewed by helicopter during his walk and by reporters walking alongside him. One year Gov. Hickenlooper walked with him for

Fred Wolfe made his trek from Denver to Vail for the ninth year in a row, Sept. 17 – 20.

Courtesy photo part of his journey and other years Linda Mitchell, executive director for the Alzheimer’s Association Colorado Chapter, accompanied him.

To date, Wolfe’s walks have raised $362,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association. This year he hopes to raise $10,000 per day in order to

reach a combined total of $400,000.

“We’re proud of Fred and his determination to help in the fight against Alzheimer’s,” said Mitchell. “We know his father would be proud of him as well.”

By Rosemary Fetter Mad Men it’s not, but Town Hall Arts Center admirably captures the spirit of the late 1950s, early 1960s business world, in its current satirical production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

This was a time before cellphones and computers, when CEOs were always male and secretaries female. Roles were clearly defined, and nobody had ever heard of sexual harassment, although women tolerated it as a fact of life in the workplace.

Rather than trying to break the glass ceiling, ambitious young women hoped to marry a successful executive and take care of his needs, as in Rosemary’s solo, “Happy to Keep His Dinner Warm.”

Perhaps that notion is less outdated than we may think, although these days the wife also has a full time job. Much like the business world at the time, minorities were a rarity unless they were janitors or maids.

The plot follows the adventures of ambitious young J. Pierpont Finch, who starts as a window watcher and rises through the ranks of the World Wide Wicket Company with the help of a “how to” manual, a little manipulation, and a lot of chutzpah!

The play opened on Broadway in 1961 and has been revived twice since, most recently in 2011

with Daniel Radcliffe, a.k.a. Harry Potter, in the lead.

Tim Howard, who is perfect for the lead role of Finch, has that devilish grin and air of innocence down pat. Supporting cast includes Cara Lippit as Rosemary, J. Pierpont’s love interest, and Ed Hickok as Biggley, the CEO.

Cory Wending is alternately hilarious (and sometimes over the top) as Frump, the boss’s manipulative nephew.

Nicole Campbell, who is the stereotypical Marilyn Monroelish dumb blond/boss’s mistress, tends to overplay the role, with a voice like a fingernail scratching

a blackboard and an exaggerated walk that looks positively painful. Of all the characters, this one is the most outdated and stereotypical, which may be part of the problem.

The cast also includes a family of Greenwood Village performers, Kevin Walton as the chair of

the board, and Bailey Walton and her brother Burke Walton in the ensemble.

As usual for Town Hall Arts musicals, the cast is professional and the choreography top notch, thanks to music director Donna Kolpan Debreceni and choreographer Kelly Kates. Costumes are authentic early 1960s, with skirts that rise above the knee and double-breasted business suits with padded shoulders. (Nobody came to work in jeans, Calvin Klein or otherwise, and there was no vsuch thing as “casual Friday.”)

“How to Succeed” starts the new Town Hall Arts season off with a bang, and future performances look equally promising. View the season brochure at www.TownHallArtsCenter.org.

Join Meyers at Scope it Out fundraiser Oct. 4

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death, yet is largely preventable. At the inaugural Scope it Out 5k Run/Walk on Oct. 4, hundreds of colorectal patients, their family, friends, doctors and nurses will come together as a community to spread awareness, camaraderie and raise funds for advances in colorectal cancer research.

“Scope it Out provides an opportunity for the community to come together,” Paula Meyers, colorectal patient and survivor said.

“It shows we’re not in this alone and it recognizes the support we receive from our families. It also spreads awareness. Get a colonoscopy. This cancer is so treatable, but only if it’s caught early. We need more awareness and we need more research like the research Dr. Lieu is doing.” “ Dr. Christopher Lieu, a colorectal medical oncologist with the University of Colorado Cancer Center located on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, noticed in his clinical experience that younger patients with colorectal cancer didn’t respond as well to tradi-

In a clinical trial investigation, he

has studied a population of 20,000 patients with colorectal cancer, focusing specifically on the patients younger than the age of 40, in or-

der to determine what makes their tumors different; and if there is a specific gene, or set of mutations, driving the cancer.

In the research laboratory that Lieu collaborates with, researchers have the ability to grow patient-derived tumors from younger patients and test different drug therapies against those tumors. Depending on those outcomes, new therapeutic strategies can be tested in promising clinical trials.

This is the type of research Scope it Out Denver will help fund.

The race directly benefits the work at The Gastrointestinal Cancers Program at the CU Cancer Center developing personalized treatments to improve outcomes and quality of life for people with colorectal cancer—research that may eventually help patients like Meyers.

Meyers celebrated her 40th birthday with surgery to remove 19 inches of her colon. Since her surgery, two years ago, her cancer has spread to her liver. Now she undergoes maintenance chemotherapy every other week to keep the cancer from spreading.

Lexus IS 350 convertible scores touchdowns

By H. Throttle L e x u s has scored a Broncos-style touchdown with the 2014 Lexus IS 350 convertible.

This is an outstanding drive in all respects of power, performance, safety and style.

The “Red Mica” paint is the first clue that this stylish designed sports model can perform. The 3.5- liter V6 engine is a perfect match to the variable six-speed transmission.

This is a dream car to drive that includes precise steering, power to spare, a very versatile transmission and head-turning good looks. The sound system is an upgraded Mark Levinson premium “surround audio” comprised of 12 speakers that is perfection.

The leather wrapped steering wheel is small, not the huge type found in trucks, and just feels right going into sharp turns and curvy roads.

The 2014 Lexus IS 350C has a list price of $46,990, which makes this a very attractive purchase in the high performance car class.

The V-6 is miserable on fuel providing mileage up to 34 mpg.

Higher fuel mileage is being achieved by many car manufacturers by improved transmissions with higher gear ratios.

Since this is a high-performance vehicle, being able to stop quickly is of great importance and this car has what is known as “vehicle dynamics integrated management.” This includes vehicle

stability control, ABS brakes, brake assist and traction controls.

Safety is abundant with duel front airbags, front and sidemounted impact airbags, side curtain airbags and front passen-

ger knee airbags. It also features whiplash injury lessening front seats and 3-point safety belts with manual height adjustable anchors.

Bi-Xenon headlamps with washers keep a bright beam on the road with LED daytime running lamps with auto-leveling.

Both front seats are 10-way adjustable. It comes with a heated steering wheel and a windshield wiper deicer and high capacity heater.

One single button raises and lowers the hard top into the rear trunk. The design is so perfect it is hard to detect that this really is a convertible.

A list price of $46,990 makes this a very attractive purchase in the high performance car class.

Additional sports packages can add to the price, along with an extensive navigational system and the premium sound system.

The basic IS 350 is one colossal machine and really fun to drive in the mountains, freeways or into the Starbucks parking lot.

This is a real winner top up or down.

Follow your ballot in Arapahoe County County voters can sign up for Ballot Track

Arapahoe County voters can now sign up to receive alerts by email, phone or text message when their mail ballot has been mailed to them and received by the Elections Division.

This month, the Clerk and Recorder’s Office launched Ballot Track, a free service that provides short updates to voters about the status of their ballot in every election.

Arapahoe County voters can sign up for a free Ballot Track account at www.arapahoevotes.com.

“Now that Colorado voters receive a mail ballot in every election, it is more important than ever to provide transparent communication to our citizens about the status of their ballot,” Clerk and Recorder Matt Crane said. “Ballot Track will let you know when your ballot has been mailed to you and safely received for counting, so that you can feel

confident that it is accounted for and secure.”

Ballot Track follows each ballot through the election process using intelligent mail and voterspecific bar codes. Only the envelope is traceable. Voter’s ballots are not coded and are removed from the envelope by a two-person bipartisan team so that their vote remains anonymous.

Voters who sign up for Ballot Track can opt to receive automated messages by phone, email or text when their ballot is mailed

out by the Postal Service, picked up by a mail carrier and accepted at the county elections facility in Littleton. A voter would also receive a message if their ballot was returned as undeliverable or if their ballot cannot be processed for a reason that requires their attention, such as a signature discrepancy.

The system will send reminders to voters who have not yet returned their ballot before Election Day. Ballot Track is free for Arapahoe County voters, though a phone carrier’s standard text and voice rates may apply.

Voters may turn off notifications at any time and log in to Ballot Track to check the status of their ballot during any election.

Ballots will be mailed to active voters beginning Oct. 14 and must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day by mail or delivered to one of 37 drop-off locations.

For more information about Ballot Track and Arapahoe County Elections, call 303-795-4511, follow @arapahoeclerk on Twitter or visit www.arapahoevotes.com.

Heritage neighborhood planning process to begin Submitted by City of Littleton The Littleton Planning Board is beginning the process of updating the city’s plans for its nine residential neighborhoods. Each neighborhood plan will be updated and approved separately. The first plan to be updated will be for the Heritage neighborhood.

The first public meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m. in the second floor lecture hall at Heritage High School, 1401 W. Geddes Ave. The board is hoping the meeting will attract a representative sampling of everyone with interests in the Heritage neighborhood, including residents, local business owners, office tenants, property owners, schools and religious institutions.

At this first meeting, the board will present a brief

overview of the neighborhood planning process and the board’s initial thoughts about the neighborhood. After the overview, the audience will be asked to identify their own issues, opportunities and goals for the neighborhood.

Ideas collected at this and future neighborhood meetings will be combined with online comments and written submissions. Using these ideas, the planning board and city staff will develop a draft plan, which will be posted on the city’s website for citizen review and comment. The board will meet a second time with each neighborhood to get additional feedback on the draft plan and will incorporate the comments into a final draft that will be reviewed by the board and then presented to City Council for adoption.

The chamber women’s group, formerly Women in Leadership, hosted a red carpet rebranding event Sept. 18 to unveil the new name, mission and outlook. The group, re-envisioned as Women in Business, celebrated its new vision in style at The Residence XXV above the Ritz Carleton.

Guests were greeted on the red carpet with a glass of champagne, and treated to hors d’oeuvres and skin product gift bags courtesy of event sponsor M.Pulse Modern Skincare.

“What an exciting new direction and new brand for Women in Business! [I’m] so grateful to serve with the fabulous women in this group,” said attendee Sue Kenfield, president/founder of See It Thrive.

Women in Business’s new mission is IGNITE, which stands for Influence, Growing, Negotiate, Involvement, Transform, Empower. In another strategic departure, the group will now meet

Sue Kenfield and Rena Marson on the first Friday of month at 7:30 a.m.

The event included the confirmation of Women in Business Chair Holly Mullins, owner, Farmers Insurance Group - Hol-

ly Mullins Agency, as well as Chair-Elect Rena Marson, guest relations manager, Kuni Honda on Arapahoe. Outgoing Chair Shelly Howard-Whitmore, member of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, was honored with a vase engraved with thanks for her leadership and service.

“I am so excited with the work and development the Women in Business group has done this year, and with Holly Mullins as the new chair the level of programing and sponsorship will only continue to grow,” said Howard-Whitmore.

The group also honored guests Vickie Thomas, president, the Thomas Group, and Tammy Fernandez, executive director of corporate social responsibility, Apollo Education Group. The two women were among the original founders of the Women in Leadership group.

The annual conference has been moved to spring 2015. Stay tuned for further details.

Lopez entertains guests at Comedy Works anniversary

By Tom Barry “Latinos always have a problem being late, but 345 days late?” quipped George Lopez, as he came onto the stage at Comedy Works at The Landmark on Sept.

18.

The popular star of comedy, stage and screen had opened the Greenwood Village club more than five years ago and had intended to attend the Comedy Works Big Bash on the actual anniversary, but was unable due to scheduling conflicts.

The comic was there for his close friend, Wende Curtis, the proprietor. Special guests were treated to one of the nation’s top entertainers as a personal “thank you” from Curtis.

Lopez has an equal-opportunity style of bashing nearly every the club’s success. He then dove into his routine about living in Colorado and memorable moments that most natives and “almost natives” take for granted.

Lopez took the stage to overwhelming applause and kept every-

race and ethnic issue during his engaging performances. His frequently abrasive and consistently “politically incorrect” style left all races, creeds and sexual orientations laughing for nearly two hours.

“Every time my grandmother would hear about an Amber Alert, she thought that same girl Amber got in another car,” Lopez said.

The 53-year-old comic reminisced about his childhood and growing up with old-school discipline, mocking parents’ treatment of their children in today’s politically correct world.

“Don’t give kids everything they want. Don’t be a friend,” said Lopez, a parent himself, encouraging others to provide insightful direction and encouragement as a parent, recalling venerable comedian Bill Cosby, whose humor has

long been an avenue for him to expound his social message.

Lopez’s onstage antics and whimsical facial expressions amplified his humorous delivery. He brought the absurdities of everyday life to the forefront, with a strong dose of reality, providing infectious laughter to a crowd of about 600.

“I’ve got news for you. Everyone here is going to die. It does not matter how much you weigh,” said Lopez, of the minimal differences between 1 percent, 2 percent, and no-fat milk, having grown up drinking whole milk.

“Just say no,” said the funnyman, poking fun at adults who always share their dietary restrictions with restaurant staff. “No one wants to hear what you can’t eat.”

one in stitches for nearly two hours with his perspective on life’s absurdities.

Her intent to attend a few meetings might provide some basic knowledge, but it would be far better to actually work on some of the city’s advisory groups or commissions to prepare her for elected office. A process taken by most of the city’s elected officials.

South Suburban’s Gould named Manager of the Year

Submitted by South Suburban JoAnn Gould, South Suburban Park and Recreation’s director of recreation and community services, has been named 2014 Manager of the Year by the Special District Association of Colorado.

Gould has made significant contributions to the recreation district over the past 28 years, including her key involvement in the design and construction of the Buck Community Recreation Center in Littleton and the Lone Tree Recreation Center, the Lone Tree Tennis Center, the Cook Creek Pools and the Goodson Recreation Center’s one-of-akind gymnastics facility.

In addition to her efforts in developing new facilities, Gould oversees a wide variety of programs. Her manage-

JoAnn Gould ment style empowers her staff to experiment with innovative offerings, and that philosophy has resulted in the addition of Pickleball, the nation’s fastest growing sport, which is now available at all

South Suburban recreation centers.

Gould also championed the creation of a district-wide customer-service training program, which was introduced to all employees to improve both the internal and external customer-service experience. In addition, Gould recently developed a new youth citizens advisory committee. The Youth Commission offers young people a unique opportunity to become involved in local government through volunteerism and learn about the park and recreation industry.

Gould was one of the first people in the country to earn the credential of certified parks and recreation executive as granted by the National Recreation and Park Association. She is an avid athlete and enjoys playing in Colorado’s great outdoors. She is a Littleton resident.

Lone Tree Chamber announces new president Mary Martin will be the next president of the Chamber at Lone Tree starting Oct. 6.

“We were searching for an accomplished business leader with a chamber background, event-planning experience and a customer-service mindset, and Mary perfectly fits that description,” said Darryl Jones, chair of the board. “Mary is familiar with a community-focused environment and has a proven history of success in a variety of positions, including chamber of commerce membership, tourism, and executive leadership. She is resultsoriented, growth-minded and creative. We’re very excited that she’s joined us at the Lone Tree Chamber of Commerce.”

Mary will work closely with Interim President Donna Russell during a brief transition. Russell, the chamber founder and current board secretary, has been leading the organization since August 2013.

“I think that the chamber’s greatest asset is the strength of its current membership and I believe that Mary has the skills and the experience to lead this organization into the very exciting future,” Russell said.

Martin comes to the chamber from the Plymouth, Wis. Chamber of Commerce, where she managed day-to-day operations, implemented a new Ambassador Program, launched a new website
