‘An amazing Centennial journey’ Mayor Noon stresses innovation in final ‘State of Our City’ Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon’s final State of Our City address was both a nostalgic farewell from a longtime public servant and a spirited look forward at a city that has finally come of age.

“For me, a Centennial journey is coming to an end,” the term-limited Noon told a room of city residents and regional public officials at Embassy Suites in Centennial on April 13.

Noon, only the second mayor in Centennial’s 16-year history, became slightly emotional as she briefly acknowledged her waning months as the city’s top elected leader. By the time she steps down next January, Noon will have been mayor for nearly half of Centennial’s history.

“I am proud to have been part of this amazing journey and even prouder that we are creating a new roadmap for future generations to enjoy living, working and playing here,” she said.

The outgoing mayor relied on that new proverbial GPS for much of

Centennial continues to live up to its founding principles of being efficient and innovative.

- Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon her 40-minute cruise through Centennial’s self-driven accomplishments of the past year—from an internationally recognized partnership with Lyft to a fiber-optic master plan that prompted Governing magazine to dub Centennial “America’s most internet-connected city.”

‘State of Our City’ delivered

by Mayor Noon Continued from Page 1 “Centennial continues to live up to its founding principles of being efficient and innovative,” Noon said during her update on the city’s high-tech performance.

Among the latest innovations has been the $1.25 million first phase of Centennial’s Intelligent Transportation System Master Plan, an important citywide adjunct to the long-awaited reconfiguration of I-25’s interchange at Arapahoe Road.

“We will install travel-time monitors, improve traffic-signal detection and connect all traffic signals to the upgraded master system—very exciting for travel in Centennial,” Noon said.

Founded defiantly in 2001 from a hodgepodge of unincorporated Arapahoe County, the newest city in the immediate metro area has long staked its identity in out-of-the-box thinking—from contracting for essential city services to forging solutions in technology platforms.

In 2014, Centennial was the smallest of 12 U.S. cities to receive a three-year $1.5 million “innovation” grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies. The resulting “i-team” would launch Go Centennial, a six-month partnership with Lyft that offered free rides to and from the Dry Creek light rail station.

The millennial-skewing i-team worked in partnership with the Centennial Senior Commission to ensure user-friendliness across the generational board.

“This innovative, first-of-its-kind project served as a model for transit systems throughout the nation,” Noon said of Go

Centennial. “We received worldwide media attention and continue to receive inquiries from cities across the U.S.” Meanwhile, Centennial also earned recognition as Colorado’s second-healthiest housing market, its most “family-friendly” city, and the best city in the state for first-time homebuyers.

“I say, we’re on the right track,” Noon said.

According to the 60-ish mayor, the next step will be to ensure sufficient housing stock for Centennial’s growing senior population, which is predicted to be more than 17 percent higher than the national average within the next 13 years.

“It’s important for us to be planning now as 2030 will be here before we know it,” she said.

Other highlights for the year have included more annexations to the Several hundred Centennial residents and regional public officials turned out for Mayor growing city, the Cathy Noon’s State of Our City address at Embassy Suites.

We are creating a new roadmap for future generations.

- Centennial Mayor Cathy Noon introduction of several targeted master plans, and a compromise between the City Council and voters on an effort to limit certain business classifications along Arapahoe Road.

“In the end, a mutually accepted outcome was achieved while avoiding the cost of a special election,” Noon said.

The mayor’s impending departure comes as the city’s overall leadership remains uncertain. Two councilmembers are running for Noon’s seat this fall, while four other council seats are also up for election. The search for the next city manager is underway too.

For Noon’s part, she was clearly grateful for her own opportunities, after earlier stints in the incorporation movement and the drafting of the city charter.

“It has been an honor and privilege to serve as mayor of our community for eight years,” Noon said before receiving a standing ovation.

An updated plan to fix old problems F

or almost a decade City Council has debated what to do with the outdated office development at the Orchard Station light rail complex. A third of it remains vacant. It contributes little tax revenue to the Village. And it continues to add to growing traffic congestion at the Orchard Road and I-25 interchange. Without a new Comp Plan these problems will worsen.

That’s why our citizen-led Planning & Zoning Commission recommended, and City Council adopted, making this key update in the Village’s Comprehensive Plan. You can ratify their decision on your June 6th ballot by voting YES on Question #1.

An updated Comp Plan will allow City Council to consider new redevelopment proposals for Orchard Station under the updated guidelines. These proposals would include a mix of office, retail and residential, similar to the Landmark luxury-residential complex next door.

A YES vote on 1 is the first step in a long, transparent public process that will end with a redeveloped Orchard Station that facilitates: • Generating almost 8% of the Village’s annual tax base • Reversing the rush hour traffic congestion at Orchard Road interchange by 35 to 40% • Connecting village residents to an array of new outdoor amenities in the Orchard Station complex

Trump diplomacy could turn bombs into bread

I would prefer dropping bread, rather than bombs, as part of our diplomacy. This is based upon a belief that honey will get us further than vinegar. But sometimes you just run out of honey and the patience required to turn the other cheek, as our scriptures advise.

The war in Afghanistan is now the longest siege in our military history. We were pulled into the Vietnam War after the French gave up and into Afghanistan after the Russians left.

We’re still at war in Korea, with only a truce at the 38th parallel where that conflict paused without a victor.

Obviously, the South Koreans benefited greatly and the North Koreans have lived in a police state for decades with a corrupt dictator family holding complete military power over the populace. I am reminded of how the Boston Symphony Orchestra had a greatly positive impact on the North Koreans when they performed in Pyongyang a decade ago.

We are on the verge of the resumption of this war again with North Korea, South Korea, Japan and the United States lining up to stop nuclear expansion by the North Korean regime. This time the United States has the weapons of destruction and will seemingly use them if South Korea is invaded.

It appears that President Trump was successful in talks with the Chinese prime minister to have the Chinese intervene to stop North Korean nuclear ambitions. However, missile parts from North Korean test flights plucked out of the South China Sea show parts “made in China.” It’s interesting that we’re scooping up the missile parts as

part of our intelligence network.

I was in high school when the Korean War broke out. More than 50,000 Americans were killed in that conflict and our forces were almost pushed into the sea as Chinese troops flowed in to assist North Korean ground forces. As in Vietnam, we didn’t bomb North Korean cities and attempted to fight a ground war in terrible terrain and weather.

It was a brutal conflict with both sides tiring of the fighting. A truce was declared, lasting to this time.

We have reached impasses in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Korea—not winning or losing, but losing vast resources of life, limb and resources. Trillions have been spent on the military expeditions that few wish to defend as successful.

Reagan’s philosophy was “peace through strength,” and this seems to be the mantra of the new Trump administration. Past administrations have been willing to use limited warfare on the premise that we could train the local forces to defend themselves.

That has failed miserably and resulted in weak resistance and resolve from these failing states. We seem to enter these wars where it is hard to know just who the enemy really is, such as we now find in Syria.

The “mother of all bombs” may embark us on a new path and may bring about the conclusion of some of these military adventures with some real results.

The world and many Americans would like to turn these swords into plowshares, and the starving people in these countries would welcome the Kansas wheat turned into bread, rather than bombs.

It can’t get much worse, so maybe it will get better.

Barbwire Bob

Ramblin’ around the corral with Bob Sweeney Ernie and Sharon Magness Blake, owners of a real corral item, the Broncos’Thunder, are bringing in an understudy for the famed Arabian horse. The new 10-year old is pretender to the stallion, now turning 17, who has witnessed two Super Bowl wins. The youngster is coming from Minnesota and will be in training for next year. *** The new Central City Opera schedule has been announced, and this summer festival will run July 8 through Aug. 6, featuring Bizet’s Carmen and Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte. There will be some one-act operas with limited runs performed in smaller Central City venues. For information and tickets, visit CentralCityOpera.org or call 303-292-6500. *** Rumor had it that Elway’s might take over the vacant Cool River Café location on Belleview Avenue, but those hopes seem to have been dashed.

In the meantime, Ed and Gayle Novak are proceeding with their new restaurant in Marina Square that is open now with a new sign and name in the offing. *** On April 17, Greenwood City Council held a 15-minute meeting to renew a land lease at Village Greens Park from the Army Corp of Engineers for Cherry Creeks Schools. Top usage will be for girls softball per Title IX passed in 1972. Girls will have priority for the field. The new lease runs for five years with a five-year renewal.

After Mayor Ron Rakowsky adjourned, the council held a two-hour study session on three subjects. The first presented by City Attorney Shannon Chambers-Nelson was to continue supporting an intergovernmental agreement with Arapahoe County and the 18th Judicial District addressing the issue of juveniles texting sexually explicit messages to each other.

The city will move ahead to back juvenile classes as a way to avoid felony charges against teens.

A second item in the study session swirled around an estimated 20 miles of private roads and driveways located across Greenwood Village and a procedure for adjacent property owners to transfer ownership and maintenance to the city. Cherry Lane is one of the potential sites. It appears that the city would require property owners to bring the roads up to code before the city would take ownership of them for maintenance, such as snowplowing. Staff was instructed to establish a policy on private roads.

The last study-session item was a report by Public Works Manager Jeremy Hanak, who presented a slideshow on Village traffic, ultimately suggesting a new traffic study for the city. Surprisingly, his report indicated that traffic has not increased in the city over the past year, except for few areas, such as Dayton to Havana. Hanak also reported that traffic growth within the city was much lower than a 20-year study projected 17 years ago.

It appears that in light of the upcoming election on the Orchard Subarea that the city may embark upon a new traffic study since traffic is one of the hottest issues in the Village.

Greenwood Village residents were reminded of the Fishing Derby coming up April 29 at 8 a.m., followed by an Arbor Day tree planting a 9 a.m.

2017 America—its past, present and future 2017 is the year that we of the “silent majority” actually have an outstanding president who continues to believe, as we do, that our country is “America the Beautiful,” while those who write and edit the news for the far-left Clinton and Obama liberals see fake scenes to prove their prejudiced positions against our great country.

Their eyes can only see poisoned rivers and lakes, ozone layers threatened with chemicals, our sea gasping for breath, our fish inedible, our food adulterated, our children weaned on ugly plastic toys, our youth barely able to read and write.

These liberals refer to certain people as “bigots” because they believe in obeying the law and that the word “illegal” means exactly what it says.

What they see is indeed a melancholy scene. Our media ignores or criticizes good law-abiding people and their tremendous desire to oppose those intent on changing their country’s wonderful traditions.

Unfortunately, immigration problems and ethnic strife have always been with us, but a recent trip to the library made me realize how great this country is and how we have always solved many of our minorities’ problems You’re probably wondering, what’s a public library got to do with immigration, ethnic strife or America’s greatness? Well, I’ll tell you.

At the library, I was watching the real story of America. I saw boys and girls check out their books. Boys singly and girls singly—and then boys and girls together. Many of them were Hispanics, blacks and Asians.

In past days, it was Jewish boys and girls. Before them, it was the Irish boys and girls who picked out their books—and after the Jewish kids, the Italians did the same thing, and now it’s the Asians and im-

migrants of Hispanic background.

This seems to have followed a pattern. Immigrants and minorities needed to accelerate the process of integration, of proving individual worth, of achieving self-esteem as quickly as possible.

It was reflected after each of the great waves of immigration. Right after the Irish came, we saw an era of Irish “excellence” in sports, on the stage and in the arts.

BY MORT In those days, no one had heard of a Jewish baseball MARKS or football players. Those days belonged to the John L. Sullivans, the Jim Corbetts, the George M. Cohans and the Victor Herberts.

Then, after the Irish came the Jews, and the same process was in full swing. Those were the days of the settlement houses and the introduction of basketball as a major American sport by Jewish immigrants.

Those were the days of Benny Leonard, Marshall Goldberg, Benny Friedman, Max Baer, Barney Ross, Irving Berlin, Fanny Brice, George Gershwin and Sandy Koufax.

They in turn were followed by the Italians responding to the same “need,” to the same environment and the same rewards. It was the days of Joe DiMaggio, Perry Como, Yogi Berra and Frank Sinatra.

Irishmen, Jews and Italians on the playing field and on the concert stage finally made room for the black-American era led by Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, the Harry Belafontes and the Pearl Baileys.

The day will soon be here when our American citizens of Hispanic background will become judges, artists, and leading sports figures.

The true and great story of America—its past, present, and future— was and is boys and girls checking out their books in the library.

Voting members sought for Fiber Commission The City of Centennial is seeking two qualified citizen voting members to serve on its Fiber Commission, which was established to oversee FiberWorks.

Centennial’s fiber backbone will connect and complete the city’s underground fiber infrastructure, connecting to key sites and community anchor institutions, such as schools, libraries and public safety. The two voting members must be Centennial residents and will be appointed at large, meaning they will represent the citizens throughout the city.

To be considered for appointment,

applicants should: • Demonstrate expertise in a field relevant or associated with the purposes and goals of Centennial FiberWorks.

• Commit to attending commission meetings twice a month, periodic City Council meetings and other occasional community meetings.

• Be clear of potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of impropriety on commission action.

• Affirm motivation for seeking the appointment.

The selection committee will send its recommendations to the City

Council, who will appoint the members by majority vote. Members will serve terms of two years and no more than four terms. Members are entitled to a monthly stipend for their time commitment of at least 10 hours per month, which includes a minimum twice-monthly meetings and the review of information prepared by staff.

Applications are available at Instructions regarding the interview process will be sent to qualified applicants who have been selected. Applications are available by emailing bsetterlind@centennialco.gov. Deadline is May 12 at 5 p.m.

I think that users should have the power to decide which information they want to share and which they don’t. Just as you wouldn’t give a stranger your home address and financial information willingly, your ISP should not be able to obtain that same information without even asking.

This issue has the potential to go even beyond privacy rights, but also to include nationalsecurity concerns, since we will no longer control where our data ends up—or worse, who is buying or reviewing it. I understand the ISPs’ point that some of their competitors currently have obtained an advantage because they can obtain and use this data, but I think the correct solution is not to empower the ISPs to gather and use this data,

but to impose the same privacy concerns and requirements upon these other internet-based enterprises.

I believe the privacy of my constituents and of other internet users is an issue where the government needs to tread very carefully. I do not believe we should permit private corporations to take advantage of our information for their use and profit without your knowledge and consent. The right to privacy is embedded in the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and as a person who honors our founding principles, my vote on this resolution represents my reaffirmation in our constitutional protections.

Healthcare reform, specifically Obamacare “repeal and replace,” was a prominent campaign issue and is now a legislative priority for President Trump and Congress. While there is debate over subsidies, mandates and preexisting conditions, a more fundamental question looms. Is healthcare a right or a privilege?

Rights are enumerated in the Constitution. There is no “right” to medical care in our founding documents. Then again, there is no right to abortion, same-sex marriage, transgender bathrooms or affordable housing in the Constitution, but courts and legislatures have deemed otherwise.

Healthcare as a right is another term for universal coverage, which 60 percent of Americans favor based on a recent Pew poll. The political left favors universal coverage.

The political right wants the government out of healthcare. Certainly, the federal government. Turn it over to the states via the 10th Amendment or leave it to the free market. Meaning healthcare as a privilege.

If a privilege rather than a right, what about the child with cancer whose family cannot afford six-figure cancer care? Or my working diabetic patient needing a $2,000 injection in each eye, every month, for several years, to maintain vision for driving and supporting her family? Or the millennial blowing out his knee at Vail who doesn’t have insurance or family support to pay for surgery?

Conversely, if healthcare is an entitlement, then how much is enough? Is every new drug or treatment available on demand? Should gender reassignment surgery be paid for by taxpayers, as is currently being proposed in Wisconsin? If the government provides a free meal, should it be a burger and fries or tenderloin and lobster?

Until these two competing approaches are reconciled, healthcare reform spins its wheels in a patchwork solution trying to satisfy both sides of the argument, but in the end satisfying neither.

Most developed countries solve this dilemma with a parallel public and private medical system. A public system covering everyone with minimal or no out-of-pocket expense to patients, but with limited treatment options and long wait times for care.

And a private system where individuals can purchase private insurance, without subsidies, tax breaks or government interference, or else pay for their care directly.

The public option as a “right” and the private option as the “privilege.” Think of K-12 schools. A public option at no cost to students or their families, for most a good and more than adequate education. And a free-market privateschool option for those who so choose and have the financial means. Two parallel systems, take your pick.

Each system has advantages and disadvantages, but they are separate and distinct. Imagine trying to combine public and private schools into a single government-run program. That’s Obamacare. Or Ryancare.

Or whatever finally emerges from Congress. The worst of both systems and the best of neither. No universal coverage and limited freedom of choice.

Why not create a dual system in the United States?

Then, my question wouldn’t need an answer. Rather than forcing elected officials to come down on the side of “right” or “privilege,” which they will never do, simply choose both. A public system providing the “right” and a separate private system providing the “privilege”.

The blueprint is out there. Look to the United Kingdom or New Zealand for a model. Not perfect, but certainly better than the mess we currently have, with no forthcoming solution from Washington, D.C.

Fisher seeks re-election to Cherry Creek Board of Education

Karen Fisher has announced her intent to seek a second term on the Cherry Creek Schools Board of Education, representing District E. “I look forward to continuing to serve our over 54,500 students and help ensure that CCSD remains the premiere district in our state,” the longtime district resident said.

“There’s no more important work than preparing all students to succeed in tomorrow’s economy and to participate as fully functioning members of society. As a school board member, I take seriously my job of setting a strategic direction so that all of our students have the opportunities and pathways they need to graduate ready for success in college and careers.”

Fisher’s volunteer experience spans school, district and community levels. She has served on elementary, middle, high school and district accountability committees.

As the Board of Education’s treasurer, Fisher has served on the Audit Committee since 2013 and was the board’s liaison to the dis-

LETTERS Support Orchard development

We thought we’d write to voice our support of the Orchard Station development.

We moved to Greenwood Hills from Denver so that our three kids could go through the great public schools here—Greenwood, West and Cherry Creek—which have been fantastic, and we love our life here.

We believe that coordinated skilled and careful redevelopment of a swath of land right next to the highway that is ugly and underutilized can only revitalize and improve all our property values and our lives.

In our opinion, change is inevitable with population growth, and the best way to cope with it is to accept it and plan well for it. We have seen Alberta’s work and plans and feel confident this is the kind of thoughtful coordinated consideration that

could be a true boon to our lifestyle and property values. Except for the underutilized area right smack up against the highway, the semi-rural pretty neighborhoods of GV will stay the same—nothing would change with residents’ acreage or our beautiful open space.

Sadly, no matter what as time marches on and populations grow, traffic is a difficult and ongoing problem and traffic issues are inevitable everywhere. We believe that ironically the best chance we have for necessary traffic mitigation on Orchard, Belleview and Quebec is with a coordinated redevelopment plan, such as the one Alberta proposes.

Many residents in our area may have moved here during a time when this area was considered “out in the country” but the truth is, again due to population growth, that is no longer as true. The fact that more urban development is coming to us is actually a positive for many of us. Instead of

always constantly adding to traffic heading north on the highways (and the arteries that feed those highways) to go to better restaurants, businesses and attractions, we could actually leave our cars at home and walk more often right here near our homes.

Thanks to Landmark and Southglenn, we already have started to do this some. We’d sure like to do it more.

Finally, we feel strongly that a gathering place, such as the one that is proposed, would benefit our communities extensively by making it an even more desirable location, by giving it more convenience, identity and soul, and a place to see each other, which we believe is always positive for a community.

Our gratitude to you all as you navigate the growth of the community we all love.

The not so simple art of a business email Be careful of that ‘send’ button, writing coach warns

Everyone knows writing an email in all caps is like YELLING FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATER! But did you ever think about the effect of a misspelled word, even in lower case?

“Typos indicate a lack of control, and when somebody is emotional, they are more likely to have lack of control,” writing coach Carol Willis said to business leaders last week.

“There have actually been studies done where people have been given emails to read, and they are more likely to say the person is upset if the emails have typos in them.”

With dozens—if not hundreds— of emails piling into one’s inbox every day, it is easy to forget the skills it takes to use the most pervasive of business communication channels effectively. Although email has been an indispensable tool since the late 1990s, its ubiquity has led to a kind of carelessness that often misses the whole point of the printed word.

“Good writing has power and beauty,” Willis told an April 11 breakfast meeting of the Greater

Jean Galloway receives Athena international award The Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce honored the finalists and winner for the 20th annual ATHENA Leadership Award Luncheon and Conference April 12.

This year’s recipient is Jean Galloway, who accepted the award from Kristen Blessman, CEO, Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce and Women’s Leadership Foundation, and Dr. Dorothy Horrell, chancellor, University of Colorado Denver, who received the award last year.

The other two finalists for the ATHENA Leadership Award were Nita Mosby Tyler, Ph.D., chief catalyst and founder, The Equity Project, LLC, and Shari Shink, founder and president A N emeritus, Rocky Mountain Children’s Law Center.

The ATHENA Leadership Award is presented to a woman or man who is honored for professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their attainment of professional excellence and leadership skills. Since the program’s inception in 1982, more than 7,000 exemplary leaders in over 500 communities have received the prestigious ATHENA

Short paragraphs, bullet points and simple wording are some of the tools.

“If you can make it more direct and easy to understand, that’s true professionalism,” she said.

Once the message is ready, write a precise and effective subject line, keeping in mind that about two thirds of email is opened on mobile devices. Keep it short and sweet.

Before getting ready to send the message, read it one more time carefully, out loud if possible.

“Use your finger to point at the words as you say them because it’s easier to read what you think you wrote,” Willis said.

Lastly—and only lastly—type in the intended email address. That way, the message cannot be sent until you are ready. Willis cited the example of an elated freelance writer who mistakenly sent an email of elation, intended for his mother, to the editor who has just given him the coveted assignment.

“Six-hundred spondulix for a piece on parenting, and I don’t even have kids!” the writer wrote in a message errantly sent back to the editor, via that too-easy-to-hit reply button.

The bottom line, Willis says, write your professional emails as if they will be read in court someday—because they just might.

If you are in an advantageous financial situation and don’t have a pressing need for the refund or just want to use the refund to help others in the community, consider making a charitable donation. Do some research to find a charity that aligns best with your values and is well run. This is a great way to use your tax refund to benefit your local community and leave a lasting impact.

Many tend to forget that a tax refund is not bonus money, but rather money you already own that you overpaid in taxes throughout the year. So don’t make any impulse decisions, be thorough. If applied in the correct manner, it is an opportunity to help financial standing if allocated properly.

CCHS raises $27,000 for children’s wishes

BY CAITLIN GLEASON CONTRIBUTOR One of the ways Cherry Creek High School gives back to the community is through Power Week, known formerly as Wish Week.

Every year, Creek’s Student Senate and activities director Krista Keogh plan a week full of fun to raise money for Bags of Fun and the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Bags of Fun is an organization dedicated to giving bags full of toys and activities to sick children in hospitals. The organization began when Gabby Krause, a loveable happy little girl, passed away at age 6 after a 19-month battle with brain cancer. She wanted every sick kid at the hospital to have their very own Bag of Fun, just like she did. Since then, almost 7,000 bags have been Malachi and his mom learn his wish to meet Super Bowl 50 champion Von Miller would be granted.

Hearing the sound of people chanting [the child’s] name really brought it home and solidified the idea that this week was bigger than Student Senate or Creek.

–Fese Elango, CCHS student-body president) given to sick children across the country.

Last month, Creek granted 14-year-old Malachi’s wish of meeting Super Bowl 50 champion and MVP Von Miller. On the last day of Power Week, the school welcomed Malachi into the North Gym to grant the wish.

Student body president Fese Elango said how special it was to see Malachi enter the gym.

“It was so great to see him and know that we were able to grant his wish,” Elengo said. “Hearing the sound of people chanting his name really brought it home and solidified the idea that this week was bigger than Student Senate or

Creek, but it really impacted the lives of others around us.”

Malachi will be able to hang out with Miller and go to a Broncos home game this fall.

This year, Creek raised more than $27,000 that will be split between Makea-Wish and Bags of Fun. “Senate spent

months planning Power Week.

We contacted restaurants to plan restaurant nights in order to help reach our $20,000 goal,” Elango said. “The most rewarding part of the week was seeing our school band together to support two awesome causes that benefited our community. It was rewarding to see the student body [participate] in the events throughout the week and rally behind our goal, which is all I could have asked for.”

CCHS’s Aqua Poms kick off the Power Week celebration.

LPS Foundation hosts fundraiser The Littleton Public Schools Foundation held its annual Spirit Celebration April 8 at the CU South Denver Campus, formerly known as the Wildlife Experience. With over 400 attendees, the event raised over $100,000 for the LPS Foundation to further its mission of providing funding for vital programs that currently cannot be covered within the school district’s already stretched budget.

Programs such as STEM education for all middle school students, Playworks for all elementary students which promotes activity and inclusive play on playgrounds, and Science and Language Arts educational resources for high school students are just a few examples of the programs funded by the LPS Foundation.

In addition, Spirit Celebration attendees raised their paddles in support of The Legacy Fund for Mental Health which provides mental health interventions for students, staff and families across the district. Littleton Adventist Hospital offered a Challenge Grant which matched every dollar raised with .50 up to $50,000.

The funds will be used to continue to make a significant impact in all LPS schools by providing parent workshops as well as professional development and training for staff.

A highlight of the evening was

when Mary McGlone, LPS Foundation president and Bob Colwell, LPS Foundation treasurer awarded four graduating seniors with $1,000 scholarships. Sponsored by the Colwell family in memory of Karen Colwell a beloved and respected Heritage High School educator, these scholarship recipients were selected because they had a strong record of community service and will be pursuing a career in education.

Abigail Guadnola from Arapahoe High School, is a force to be reckoned with - her energy, passion and faith supply the drive needed to make a difference in the world around here.

She mentors, sings, writes and is an accomplished photographer as well.

This dedication will take her to Colorado Christian University next year where she plans to be just as involved there while she pursues her dream of becoming a high school social studies teacher.

Jonny Horton from Heritage High School, is a young man with his eye on the prize - whether that is through years of successful 4-H competition or his goal to be a teacher. His desire to be a teacher was confirmed in 8th grade and he has planned accordingly ever since. Jonny will attend the University of Northern Colorado next year where he hopes to double

major in history and secondary education and perhaps minor in English and Biology before pursuing a master’s degree.

Maddie Stouder from Littleton High School. Her mission experiences in Jamaica changed her life and illuminated for her that teaching is her passion. Not only did she become keenly aware of her life advantages, she learned the importance of meeting the individual needs of each child. Maddie will chase this dream next year at Adams State University where she will pursue a secondary teaching degree in language arts.

One day she hopes to serve students in a high-needs community.

Isabel Rossman is graduating from Options High School. The first thing you notice when you meet Isabel is her drive and ambition. When you see her passion as a young mother, you understand its purpose. Her ability to tackle life challenges with energy and positivity will lay the groundwork for the life she hopes for her family. Isabel will continue her classes at Arapahoe Community College before transferring to a four-year college to pursue her degree in elementary education, specifically math.

The LPS Foundation is the fundraising partner for Littleton Public Schools. Providing a quality education for every child is at the forefront of its purpose and the board of directors is committed to generating financial resources and building community relationships that enhance student and staff success in all LPS schools. The LPS Foundation thanks all its sponsors and attendees for supporting the Spirit Celebration.

March and April’s “MoP” or “double month” of photography made its way to Greenwood Village. An exhibit that opened April 8 at Curtis Arts and Humanities Center featured an appearance by world-renown Colorado-based photographer Richard Alden Peterson. Images of punk rock rattled the gallery walls, along with his portraits of noted artists and equally arty photography.

Peterson gave a presentation April 15 that featured a digital slideshow and a guided gallery tour.

Denver Brass celebrates Cinco de Mayo In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo represents the great victory of the Battle of Puebla – a David and goliath fight that pitted Mexico against a much larger, better trained French force during the reign of Napoleon III. But in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has become a festive celebration of MexicanAmerican culture. Denver Brass is proud to celebrate this important holiday with a spectacular

music and dance performance on Friday, May 5 at the Lone Tree Arts Center.

What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with brass and dance! With that in mind, Denver Brass will bring to the stage Fiesta Colorado, the premier Hispanic dance company of Colorado. For over 30 years, Fiesta Colorado, founded and directed by Jeanette Trujillo-Lucero, has presented Mexican folk, flamenco and Spanish classical dance with color, festive flair and high energy.

This isn’t the first-time Denver Brass and Fiesta Colorado have joined forces. They found

each other initially in 2012 when their artistic spirits came together on a Denver Brass season series concert at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts. These two ensembles will perform together on four pieces – España Cañi, El Son de la Negra, El Toro Mambo and, of course, Hot! Hot! Hot! “Denver Brass loves this holiday,” says Kathy Brantigan, Denver Brass founder, president and tuba player. “Latin music is so brass friendly and we love the richness, energy, rhythmic drive

and melodic beauty of this music.

It fits what we do so well and to top it all off with the vibrancy of Fiesta Colorado, this concert will be the place to be on Cinco de Mayo!”

Denver Brass will pull several other great pieces from its vast Latin repertoire to fill out this concert. You will hear Hugo Montenegro’s Fanfare for the New made famous by the Stan Kenton Neophonic Orchestra, The Brave Matador, a trumpet trio arranged by world renowned

Mexican trumpeter, Rafael Mendez, Danza Final from Estancia

by Alberto Ginastera, Music from Zorro, Bizet’s opera masterpiece, Carmen Suite and the famous Stan Kenton version of Malagueña amongst other Latin favorites.

‘Mamma Mia!’ cross-generational love story has farewell tour

It’s been 17 years since this feel-great production made its debut. It was the eighth longest-running stage show on Broadway. We always say the last performance was the best. But this one truly was. The farewell tour of Mamma Mia! had more energy, more color (fabulous costumes) and more passion.

The cast of the romantic comedy-musical gave its all and received several standing ovations, making us want to dance on our seats. We settled for lots of hand clapping, foot tapping and wave movements to the memorable songs of ABBA that still ring in our heads and hearts. There were multiple encores for the characters we didn’t want to leave. Those who missed our own DCPA’s performance missed a treasure.

Farewell Mamma Mia! We will miss you.

FLEURISH

AG Coffman gives call to action, shares White House stories The last time Colorado’s attorney general spoke to Cherry Creek Republican Women was three weeks before the November 2016 presidential election.

“The audience was pretty keyed up at that time,” she said. “Today, you seem more relaxed, especially since Colorado Judge Neil Gorsuch will now serve on the Supreme Court.”

Coffman is only one of three Republican woman attorneys general in the United States.

President Trump invited the attorneys general en masse to the East Room at the White House in February.

“He was personable, funny and much more charming in person,” Coffman said. “He gave us an hour of his time and a preview of his congressional assembly speech.”

Coffman also had the opportunity to visit with Gorsuch, who was preparing for his confirmation hearing in what had been Michelle Obama’s office.

“He was brilliant, but not condescending,” she said of Gorsuch.

Coffman also talked about great opportunities for 2018 and gave the audience of mostly women a call to action, especially around unaffiliated women voters.

Only 29 percent of women are registered Republicans, 36 percent are registered Democrats, and 34 percent are unaffiliated. According to Magellan’s research conducted in May 2015, of those unaffiliated, 43 percent lean Democrat, 33 percent have no preference and 11 percent lean Republican. Two-thirds are pro-choice.

One of Coffman’s favorite quotes: “We’re drowning in information, but

“We need to replace the media with face-to-face contact in messaging to other women,” Coffman said. “Women tend to favor candidates who are likeable and care about jobs, the economy and education. Leaders are preferred who can solve problems with concrete solutions, who Inductees to the Republican Hall of Fame include six members of Cherry Creek Republican will work across the aisle and who are Women honored as outstanding volunteers: Andi Allott, Joy Hoffman, Ruth Prendergast, Shirley McClintock and Millicent Tallard.

2017 Toyota 86 is rear-wheel-drive speedster

BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST The bright red “Ablaze” colored 2017 Toyota 86 two-door coupe was the subject of a mountain drive this springtime week.

Built in Ota Gunma, Japan, this is a small, sleek, fast and inexpensive sports car.

Built for a small frame and a skilled driver, the 86 takes some talent to drive with a six-speed stick shift linked to a “Boxer” four-cylinder engine with 205 horsepower. The fuel mileage is low at 24 mpg average.

The transmission is smooth through the six speeds, but shifting in metro traffic is constant clutching to low gear. Not a good drive in busy rush hours, and there is traffic most of the day into the evenings.

Taking the coupe on E-470, the compact coupe became a fun fast drive. It was hard to keep it under the speed limit, and no telling how fast this little package could go. The car seemed to

handle and control better at high speed in fifth and six gear. The car has great suspension with outstanding cornering control.

Power comes from the rearwheel drive, very sports car oriented.

Running fast, a driver needs the front and rear ventilated disk brakes to slow down with the high performance. A hint at cornering comes with the famed McPherson front struts, just like the race cars, complimented

with double wishbone rear suspension and “Torsen” limitedslip differential. The Japanese engineers created a simplistic sports car with almost no room in the rear seat, a small trunk and compact front seating. The

dash is Spartan with few buttons and knobs.

This product has the Star Safety System Smart Stop Technology, front, side and curtain airbags in the very compact front seating area. No arm rest on the right side to rest the arm while doing a lot of gear changing.

The suggested retail price is a modest $27,120 with no extra options added to the pricing, except a delivery charge of $825.

This is a strange little car, high in performance at high speeds, and made for a younger driver who knows how to drive a stick shift and maintain safe speed levels. This car wants to run fast.

The safety rating is four-star average with the overall score not yet published on this very new model.

Good looking, fast moving, gear shifting high performance at a low price, but too small for a set of skis or snowboard.

Millennials might really go for this car?

Hybrid Toyota Prius Prime makes honor roll

BY H. THROTTLE AUTO COLUMNIST I’m starting to like these various Toyota Prius hybrid cars. Years back, I thought that the batteries would be short-lived, cumbersome, powerless, and that the technology would just go away. The dynamic increase in fuel economy, accomplished with four-cylinder turbo engine stretching into the 40-mpg range has prevailed.

The electric-car technology has advanced, right along with the combustion engine world, and now these electric-gas combinations are reaching up to 133 mpg for a 100-mile drive.

Throw in the combination of battery and 1.8- L-engine and the fuel economy is rated at 54, but the test

car is achieving 66 mpg in a recent drive to Pueblo.

The test drive was a 2017 Toyota Prius Prime manufactured in Aichi, Japan and arriving in Torrance, Calif. Suggested retail price on this “Titanium Glow” painted beauty is $33,100.

This seems to be a lot of car for the sticker price. The vehicle is very attractive, stylish, eye-catching and modern. This is a very smart car with the latest automotive technology in every category.

Starting with the power plant, the batteries have a 100,000-mile warranty and 60,000 miles on the powertrain. The system works with a 1.8L-four-cylinder engine that is very efficient. The hybrid synergy powertrain operates from both elec-

tric and battery power and can be selected by a mode-selection control button.

Range on battery power is well over 100 miles and the battery takes about four hours to charge from a standard garage plug-in receptacle.

The charging equipment tucks neatly into a trunk compartment and easily fastens onto a right fender receptacle for charging. A message is posted on the center console, reporting the amount of charge the car has received and the time left to complete.

The car is fully operational with or without the battery component and is very efficient in both modes.

Performance in this Prius is outstanding and gives the driver a numerical grade on driving performance when parked at your destination.

Given a choice to drive a different car on a 200-mile trip, I stuck with the Prius Prime for several reasons.

The suspension front-end suspension and electric power steering gives a pinpoint drive with a double wishbone rear suspension and great stability to drive, especially in the windy trip along the Front Range mountains.

The bucket seats are comfortable and the dash is totally different with the controls moved to the center console at eye level. This hybrid takes a little more care and thought to drive because the engine does not start when the start button is pushed. A group of lights let you know that the car is activated and a green “Ready” light gives you the message that you can move forward or backwards.

The silence from lack of engine noise takes some getting used to and the driver must be very aware of any objects or people behind the silent car. A huge center screen has the computer details and surrounding areas surveyed by cameras. The large 11.6-inch screen accumulates dust at a rapid rate.

All controls seem to be moving to the center console. This creates a hazard for the driver who must glance at the center controls, taking eyes off the road. Some controls are on the steering wheel, but that even detracts eye contact from the road.

The Prius has the latest SST (smart-stop technology), which helps prevent the car from striking a forward object.

A passenger complained to me that rear-seating room was cramped.

That is an issue if the car is to be used for transporting rear-seat passengers.

This is an ideal car for a commuter and drivers with an interest in scientific advancement in technology and green innovations that really work in our changing energy-driven world.

The Prius Prime is the best hybrid driven to date and is a very smart car for an intelligent driver and receives a grade of A.

A long-range plan for Littleton Public Schools New committee will evaluate district top to bottom

What do you get when you cross a landlocked suburban community

with aging school buildings, forecasts of increasing traffic congestion and a static older population?

You get the new Littleton Public Schools Long-Range Planning Committee, which is striving to figure it all out within the next 18 months or so.

“We need to look at the dis-

trict as a whole,” explained Diane Doney, the assistant superintendent of business services who is spearheading this group of 15 community stakeholders. “We need to look at transportation and enrollment.

We need to look at our buildings.

Are they serving the purpose they were built for as effectively as

A “MASSIVE HIT… ONE OF THE BEST

MUSICALS OF THE 20TH CENTURY.” — The Huffington Post

The aging Arapahoe High School in Centennial is among the facilities that will be getting a new look from the Littleton Public Schools Long-Range Planning Committee. The team of stakeholders will be studying nearly every aspect of district operations for the next 18 months.

Photo by Peter Jones when they were built? What’s this district going to look like 10 years from now?”

If all goes as planned—in the short range—Doney expects to have an approximation of the longrange 10-to-15-year answers by the end of 2018, thanks to this volunteer group of residents, parents, former LPS committee members, nonprofit community leaders and representatives from neighboring tax-supported districts.

But what about those on the frontlines with the greatest day-today professional stake?

“I think as we move forward, we’ll definitely get the teachers’ voice into the committee, whether that’s with focus groups or some other way,” Doney added.

Maybe even students will have a say-so at some point in the process.

The idea for a big-picture study of the future germinated last year on the LPS Board of Education, which eventually assigned Superintendent Brian Ewert to form the committee and have it report back to the board periodically.

“In Colorado, as fast as we’re growing, we really need to pay attention to what’s happening in the community around us,” Doney said. “We also need to be responsive to the changes of how we deliver education to students and make sure we’re doing the best job we can.”

The committee, whose work is already underway, plans to meet at least once a month, with its members responsible for homework in between. Paid consultants will also be involved.

Development and traffic are two

of the committee’s first top bullet points.

“We have schools on both sides of Santa Fe Drive. We have all the development that’s happening down in Douglas County. We’re looking at all that,” Doney said.

For example, one concern might be how the district should accommodate students who live further away from school, even as empty-nesters stay in their longtime homes near the same schools. For the most part, Littleton’s light rail stations will not be much help—so will increased traffic be a new barrier to students’ ontime arrival?

“We’ve got self-driving cars on the horizon, so how packed are our roads going to be, and what’s that going to look like?”

Doney said.

What’s more, when kids do get to school, will the half-century-old buildings be ready for optimum learning, much less full compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act? “As you can imagine with 50-year-old buildings, some of our schools are not as accessible as we’d like them to be,” Doney said.

The assistant superintendent, who doubles as chief financial officer, is optimistic that the committee will identify the important questions, if not all the answers.

“Littleton is a wonderful place because we have such community involvement in our schools,” she said. “It was not hard to find volunteers to serve on this committee, so I am anxious to see what we come forward with.”

The committee’s first presentation to the board is expected in November.

What’s this district going to look like 10 years from now?
