Walking down memory lane for 40 years Forty years ago, The Sweeney Family decided to move to the Denver area from Craig, CO. where I served as mayor of the town and we published the Daily Press for 19 years.

Our realtor, Jim Aspinwall, was driving us down Quincy in Cherry Hills Village when we spotted what was to become our new home on Blackmer Road. Two of our four children were in college in Colorado and two moved through Cherry Creek Schools and on to Colorado Universities.

As we settled into our Cherry Hills neighborhood it became apparent that there was not a local weekly newspaper, just a monthly flyer produced by the city.

Almost on our arrival to Denver a major controversy arose with developer Steve Tucker and his associates wanting to build a five-star luxury hotel and golf course on the Buell property at the corner of Hampden and University. I thought this was a great concept and perfect for Cherry Hills Village. The city did not accept the proposal which eventually failed. This proposal and other issues were not being reported. This

piqued my interest in starting a local newspaper to inform residents on vital information.

I approached Joan Duncan if she would write a column in the new proposed newspaper, but she politely declined. The first edition appeared a few days later and we have not missed an edition of The Villager in 39 years, now totaling over 2038 publications. That’s a lot of ink.

We have had a wonderful run of local writers to name a few stars like Mort Marks, John Hanford, Jo Cole, Jim Pilon, Glory Weisberg and now Scottie Iverson and Freda Miklin providing coverage of local news from city news to school news, obituaries, church events, engagements, weddings, features on businesses and covering thousands of charity events. The work has won us numerous Colorado Press and National Newspaper Association awards for our writers and advertising creative designs.

We have even won awards for our Arapahoe County legal section.

Our oldest daughter, Saundra, joined the newspaper with our first edition after selling ad-

vertising for Kathy Piper Johnson’s Denver Social Register.

She was an Ambassador for the South Metro Chamber. Daughter Sharon joined the advertising staff in many capacities and more recently Susan Sweeney Lanam who has taken an active role in producing this 75th Anniversary edition. She has a creative team of veteran advertising associates Linda Kehr and Valerie LeVier. Son Patrick is the IT person. Tom McTighe has designed our great graphics for the past decades and Becky Osterwald does accounting and award-winning legal pages.

92-year-old Shirly Klotz volunteers her many business talents at the newspaper while husband Jim has coffee with friends at McDonalds. The Villager is all about families, ours and yours.

Realizing that a newspaper has to be run as a business with Cherry Hills Country Club the sole business in the city, we expanded coverage into nearby Greenwood Village and neighboring cities.

We have updated our web page and have digital delivery, along with our beloved subscription print product that we will always maintain.

We are proud of the fact that many of our subscribers are still reading the newspaper 39

years later. We get comments from subscribers saying, “we read the paper from cover to cover.”

Thank you loyal subscribers!

What I have always admired about Cherry Hills Village is the solid resistance and pressure to not violate their wonderful zoning law of 2.5 acres per household. Think about what the county would look like if that zoning had slowed urban sprawl beyond the village.

The growth and development moved around pristine zoned farmland in Cherry Hills Village and Highlands Ranch was born. Littleton eventually became landlocked and to this day has little land to develop without removing existing buildings and zoning challenges.

Cherry Hills Village is one of the finest cities in America and will stay that way with the quiet quality of life for residents. I have always respected the privacy of city residents and marvel at the high level of successful education and business acumen the area represents.

Cherry Hills Village is celebrating their 75th Anniversary and we have been a part of that growth for the past 40 years as residents and publishers of the local newspaper. The newspaper congratulates the city on the new city hall, the great police force and hard work of past and present council members, mayors and talented staff members.

The city is right at the top of American cities with the fourth highest income in America.

The Sweeney family cherishes the years that we lived in Cherry Hills Village and the friends that we made and retain today.

The Villager has remained in business for 39 years because of the loyal support of advertisers, subscribers, and the work of a great staff. We support local business firms and ask you to shop with our advertisers. Kentwood’s Edie Marks has been our longest advertiser, contracting for an advertisement of her real estate listings in every issue for 39 years.

Gerri Sweeney is the editor and publisher and the glue that has held the newspaper together for these many years.

CHV City Council passes balanced budget for 2021

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On November 17, the Cherry Hills Village City Council unanimously passed the 2021 budget on first reading. Jessica Sager, the city’s director of finance and administration, had previously reviewed the budget in detail at a city council meeting on October 6. Second and final reading of the budget will occur on December 9.

City revenues and expenditures for the coming year will each total $7.4 million, resulting in a balanced budget. The general fund balance at the end of 2021 is expected to be $11 million and the capital fund balance is budgeted at $4.3 million. Since CHV’s primary revenue source is property tax, it did not suffer the losses from the pandemic that other cities, who rely largely on sales tax, faced.

When the 2020 budget was approved a year ago, CHV anticipated having a 2020 year-end general fund balance of $10.4 million. As a result of steps taken by CHV to hold back on avoidable spending as the pandemic took hold in 2020, the city’s general fund balance is now expected to be $11.1 million at December 31, 2020 thus CHV was able to provide a 1.5% costof-living increase to its employees in its 2021 budget. With the recent completion of John Meade Park and the Alan Hutto Memorial Gardens, the 2021 parks and recreation fund budget is 27% less than its approved budget for 2020.

Since 2021 is not a reassessment year, CHV anticipates its property tax revenue to remain about the same as it was in 2020, however, the budget indicates, “Given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021... other sources of revenue such as motor vehicle use tax, building permit fees, interest income and franchise fees have continued to remain steady or include a slight decrease” in the 2021 budget.

Leaders in banking look toward the future

As a loan officer at non-profit Colorado Lending Source, Kylie Peterson connects small diverse business owners in owner-occupied real estate with various SBA and direct loan programs

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

O

n November 13, South Metro Denver Chamber (SMDC) presented a virtual panel of leaders in Colorado’s banking industry who shared their outlook for banks and the local economy.

SMDC president and CEO Jeff Keener introduced the program with assistance from Spencer Way, director of hospital operations at Littleton Hospital and vice-president of SMDC’s economic development group Don Childears, CEO of Colorado Banker’s Association since 1980 and holder of a Juris Doctor from the University of Colorado Sturm College of Law, a degree from the Graduate School of Banking, University of Colorado, and a BSBA in Marketing from Colorado State University, served as moderator. Seventy-nine people from business and government registered to watch the program virtually.

Childears, likely the most highly respected banker in all of Colorado, framed the discussion. He predicted a split government in Washington, with the Republicans retaining control of the U.S. Senate, which he believes, “will force moderation in government policies.” Childears expects President-elect Biden to “nominate key members of the FDIC board and up to three Federal Reserve Bank governors,” which will have a “significant impact on regulatory forbearance on banks.”

He reviewed the status of banking-related pandemic programs. The Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is not new to the SBA and was designed to “provide emergency assistance to small businesses.

Mike Jacobs is a Colorado native who competes in ultramarathons around the world when he isn’t busy as Alpine Bank’s VP of residential mortgage market.

Kelly Kaminskas is president of retail and branch strategy at FirstBank, overseeing branch operations, consumer account products, and customer experience.

Richard Morgan, senior VP and senior relationship manager for Academy Bank, is in charge of growing the bank’s real estate investor/ developer and commercial clientele.

SBA has approved $150 billion in loans under $2 million each that include a $10,000 cash advance.” He cited data from the inspector general that indicated that $58 billion of the $150 billion has been disbursed in multiple loans to businesses that appear to have the same IP address, email address, bank account, or physical address, hence “We’re going to hear a lot about fraud in all the federal lending operations.”

The Main Street Lending Program was “designed to help larger, financially stable businesses with less than 15,000 employees” with COVID-19 related financial challenges. He said this program “has been amended numerous times,” and is suffering from “anemic demand,” noting that only 500 banks are participating in this program, compared to 5,500 participating in the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) program. More startling is the fact that only $3.7 billion in loans have been made from this program despite $600 billion being available.

The “big success” is the PPP program, which is “short-term lending primarily to maintain payroll.” Childears shared that U.S. banks have loaned $500 billion to 5.2 million borrowers through this program. The issue with it is the evolving interpretation by the government as to what loans can be forgiven, which Childears said bankers have been working hard on with the government. He also pointed out that while people think of PPP as an SBA (Small Business Administration) program, it is the banks that have advanced the funds and they will be made whole when the customer repays the loan, the loan is forgiven, or the customer defaults and the SBA repays the bank

based upon its guarantee. In Colorado, PPP loans totaling $10.4 billion have been made to 110,000 small businesses.

He expects PPP loans under $50,000 to be “automatically forgiven,” but would like to see that policy applied to loans up to $150,000, which would wipe out borrowers’ obligations on 85 percent of “all the PPP loans that have been made to date.”

Kelly Kaminskas, FirstBank president of retail and branch strategy talked about the impact of the pandemic on retail banking. She said that banks have found that fewer branches are needed now because people do more and more of their banking remotely and that won’t change. Also, those branches that are being retained are being redesigned to allow personnel to move around as necessary in the footprint.

Richard Morgan, Academy Bank senior vice-president said that Colorado lost 425,000 jobs when the pandemic hit and has since regained 200,000 of those. Jobs that have been affected most negatively are those in retail, leisure, and hospitality. Businesses that have been hurt the most are in the categories of hospitality/leisure, indoor malls, restaurants, theaters, and urban offices. Staying strong have been industrial warehouse and distribution businesses, grocery stores, apartments, and suburban offices.

According to Morgan, “Through Q3 of this year, retail has experienced negative absorption of about half a million square feet, the highest total (of negative absorption) over nine months since 1998… With increasing bankruptcies from national retailers, the retail sector is going to continue to contract and I think the pandemic’s overall impact on the retail

sector is likely not fully realized yet. I think there’s more contraction to come.”

He said that since 2015, offices have experienced “a slow migration out of the downtown core into the suburban market,” causing increased demand in the suburban market. Presently, there is 3.3 million square feet of office space under construction, of which 80 percent is speculative. The strongest product type continues to be industrial space, which in Q3, “reported its 42nd consecutive quarter of positive absorption,” with 2.8 million square feet of space absorbed year to date, a 40 percent increase over the same period in 2019. He added, “There’s been a shift…to businesses focusing on inventory on hand for quick delivery to customers.” He expects the demand for industrial space to continue through 2021.

Morgan advised potential borrowers about how to get a yes from bank credit committees. He recommended borrowing for a property in a strong business, increasing cash equity to result in a loan to value of 55 percent to 75 percent, being willing to create escrows and reserves, and guaranteeing loans with full recourse and a verifiable personal balance sheet.

Mike Jacobs, vice president of Alpine Bank Mortgage, said that economic instability caused by the pandemic and the political situation have caused mortgage rates to drop to extremely low levels, with 30-year mortgages in the low 2’s, resulting in a huge refinance boom. Very low interest rates have also helped the purchase market and caused home prices to skyrocket. Some borrowers have purchased their first home that previously couldn’t. He sees the mortgage process

Don Childears has been the CEO of the Colorado Bankers Association for 40 years, holds multiple degrees, and is recognized nationally as an authority on banking, government, and the role of politics in both.

as increasingly relying upon technology and less “trusted human advisor” capacity.

Jacobs believes that demand for residential real estate has shifted away from the urban core to the suburbs because millennials are working remotely and they can afford to have more space if they’re outside the city. The suburbs are also more appealing for families looking for safer neighborhoods. He said some people are even choosing resort communities for their primary residence because they work remotely.

Colorado Lending Source (CLS) is a non-profit mission-based lender that offers a variety of SBA and direct loan programs. Kylie Peterson, loan officer at CLS explained that its mission is “to foster economic growth of diverse small businesses.”

One of their main offerings is the SBA 504 program, “a public-private partnership” where the bank provides 50 percent of the loan to cost and is in the first position and the SBA provides 40 percent of the loan to cost and is in the second position.” The 504 program is intended for business loans at owner-occupied commercial real estate. The program is self-sustaining, not supported by tax dollars. Businesses they loan to include day care centers, hotels, small insurance agencies, and car washes.

She described several other loan programs that CLS offers its customers, adding that they made 600 PPP loans to businesses that didn’t have a regular business lender or were refused by theirs, reflecting the important need served by CLS in the lending community.

Debate continues in CHV about the future of Quincy Farm

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENTAL REPORTER

On September 10, we reported that Cherry Hills Village had suspended all activities on the Quincy Farm draft master plan to explore a proposal it had received from Natalie Anderson, the granddaughter of Cat Anderson, to return Quincy Farm to the Anderson family, so that they could manage it. Quincy Farm (QF) is a 17.5-acre property at 4400 E. Quincy that was formerly a working farm owned by Catherine (Cat) Anderson. After she was widowed in 2005, Anderson began working with CHV in anticipation of bequeathing the property to the city. A conservation easement was completed in 2007 and in 2016, upon Ms. Anderson’s passing, the property passed to the city. Since then, several committees of city residents have worked countless hours to try to come up with an acceptable plan to open the property to the public in a manner consistent with Cat’s vision and the conservation easement. The most recent attempt to do so was a draft master plan presented to the Quincy Farm Committee earlier this year.

On October 20, Klasina VanderWerf appeared to speak at the CHV city council meeting about Quincy Farm. VanderWerf is currently vice-chair of the QF Committee and a former member of the

Natalie Anderson has offered to have her family take back her grandmother Cat’s property to ensure that the vision of the conservation easement is carried out.

This view is from the sunroom in the back of the main house at Quincy Farm Photos by Freda Miklin

CHV city council and the Quincy Farm Visioning Committee. She also served as the city council liaison who worked with Cat Anderson in crafting the conservation easement in 2007 before the property was bequeathed to CHV. She explained, “I got to know Cat by sitting down to interview her for (Village) Crier articles and for the history book (“High on Country”).” VanderWerf took note that the council has financial considerations about QF but “while finances enter into this decision the city makes about QF, there are other considerations as well…

The ownership of QF gives the city a mandate to be responsive to

citizens and to the community that may not exist under private ownership (referring to the proposal

by Natalie Anderson to return the property to the Anderson family).”

She added, “The programming that would take place at QF would be the answer to our exclusion from South Suburban Parks and Recreation District.” VanderWerf complimented the proposal from the Anderson family in the way it would impact CHV in the short term, but looking at 25 years from now, VanderWerf said, “It is highly likely that there will be little or no affordable water available to QF. It will have a community-supported agricultural classification that

could be lost if there’s not water for agricultural activities,” leading to the property being potentially abandoned (and allowed to deteriorate). VanderWerf pointed out that Catherine Anderson chose to gift the property to the city (rather than her family).

Dr. Eric Jamrich said, on behalf of he and his neighbors who live adjacent to QF, that they “feel that the future of QF should be based on the wishes of Cat Anderson,” which, he pointed out was very different than the master plan that has been proposed that was “like a theme park with 40 parking places, a fire pit, moon gates, and statues of farmers,” with an esti-

mated cost of $8 million. Jamrich recommended the city transfer the property back to the Anderson family.

Former CHV Mayor Laura Christman also spoke. She pointed out that QF was a gift to the city.

“If we gave our parks and trails away when we have a dispute and when we think that things are expensive,” she said, CHV would not have any open space.

Christman suggested asking the community for input before giving QF away.

Later in the meeting, Natalie Anderson also spoke. She said, “The in-depth analysis that has been done by the city….has highlighted the challenges ..inherent in managing a property as complex as QF under public ownership, despite the best intentions of all involved.” She said the family had not expected “to become actively involved with the property.” However, after a dialog with the city, Anderson said, “We realized that we may be uniquely positioned to provide a solution that could be a win-win for everybody.” She noted that close neighbors and Colorado Open Lands were in support of the management plan that includes returning the property to a for-profit Anderson family trust or LLC that would partner with a non-profit like Cherry Hills Land Preserve (CHLP).

Shop small this season: Teen entrepreneur offers long-lasting snacks that reduce food waste

S

o many shoppers are supporting small businesses this holiday season, and entrepreneur Reina Crowley couldn’t be more excited.

This Centennial resident and high school freshman is on a mission to reduce the amount of food people waste through her business Mile High Freeze Dry. By participating in the YouthBiz Marketplace, she’s selling her products directly to consumers looking to shop small.

Mile High Freeze Dry specializes in freeze-dried fruit, candy, ice cream, and more. According to 14-yearold Reina, a self-proclaimed “Freeze Drier Afficionado,” freeze-dried food not only lasts longer, but also it is a

“delicious way to snack!”

Reina started Mile High Freeze Dry before the pandemic began, but she’s also found her business to be a timely solution in an environment where people want to shop in stores less often.

In the year since she started Mile High Freeze Dry, Reina has perfected her

techniques and established a loyal customer base. She hopes to reach even more shoppers through the YouthBiz Marketplace, which is open from November 27 through December 6. Young Americans Center for Financial Education hosts the event every year to provide young people with real-life experience in entrepreneurship and business ownership.

This year’s event takes place exclusively online, providing entrepreneurs with valuable

e-commerce experience as well.

“Entrepreneurs like Reina gain so much through business ownership,” noted Anna Leer, Vice President of YouthBiz at Young Americans Center. “They think critically about the world around them and solve real problems.” She smiled, then

added, “After hearing Reina’s story, I can’t help but be optimistic about the future.”

To check out Reina’s business and several other young entrepreneurs at the YouthBiz Marketplace, head to youthbizmarketplace. sharetribe.com between November 27-December 6.

How do I become a Representative Payee for Social Security benefits? (Part 1 of 2)

More than eight million people, who get monthly Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, need help managing their money. In such cases, the Social Security Administration can appoint a relative, friend, or other interested party to serve as the “Representative Payee”. Social Security thoroughly investigates those who apply to be Representative Payees to protect the interests of Social Security beneficiaries, because a Representative Payee receives the beneficiary’s payments and is given the authority to use the funds on the beneficiary’s behalf.

With certain exceptions, a Representative Payee may not collect a fee for services provided to the beneficiary, unless Social Security allows it, or you are the legal Guardian or Conservator authorized by a court to charge such a fee.

As a Representative Payee, you must know what the beneficiary’s needs are so you can decide the best use of the benefit payments for their care and well-being. This is especially important if the beneficiary does not live with you.

Each year, Social Security will ask you to complete a form to account for the benefits you have received on behalf of the beneficiary. You can either fill out the

form and return it to Social Security, or go online at: www.social security.gov/payee to file the report. You may also be contacted by a contractor hired by Social Security to review your receipts and records of income and expenses.

As a Representative Payee, you will also need to advise Social Security about changes that may affect the beneficiary’s eligibility. Such changes include if the beneficiary moves, starts or stops working, starts receiving another government benefit, gets married, or dies.

It is important to remember that the law requires the Representative Payee to use the benefits properly, in the best interest of the beneficiary. If a Payee misuses benefits, they must repay the misused funds. A Payee who is convicted of misusing funds may be fined and imprisoned.

It is also important to note that Social Security appoints a Representative Payee to manage Social Security and SSI funds only. A Payee has no legal authority to manage non-Social Security income or medical matters. A Representative Payee, however, may need to help a beneficiary get medical services or treatment.

Accordingly, family members/ Representative Payees often use a General or Health Care Power of Attorney as an additional way to handle a family member’s/ beneficiary’s finances. Another option is to become a court-appointed Guardian and/or Conser-

vator on behalf of the beneficiary.

For Social Security purposes, however, a Power of Attorney is not an acceptable way to manage a person’s monthly Social Security benefits. Social Security recognizes only the use of a designated Representative Payee for handling the beneficiary’s funds.

The most convenient way to conduct Social Security business at any time is to go to: www. socialsecurity.gov. If you do not have access to the internet, you may call Social Security 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, toll free at 1-800-772-1213. More information about being a Payee is available in the Guide for Organizational Representative Payees (Publication No. 17-013), which is available at www.social security.gov/payee or from any local Social Security office.

In my next article, I will cover the requirements concerning how a Representative Payee must hold and use monthly Social Security and SSI benefits on behalf of a beneficiary.

What are the four key medical/estate plan documents you need now?

Many of my clients have asked what are the critical documents needed, particularly in view of the COVID-19 pandemic. Simply being married does not give you the legal right to gain access to your spouse’s medical records or make medical decisions on your spouse’s behalf, even in an emergency. To avoid this problem and to help others care for you and to achieve your overall estate planning goals, the following documents create an effective medical/estate plan package: 1. Healthcare Power of Attorney; 2. General Financial Power of Attorney; 3. Advanced Directive for Medical/Surgical Treatment (“Living Will”); and 4. Will (or a Will with a Trust).

Careful medical/estate planning should include preparation and signing of these documents, to accomplish your goals and protect you, both during your lifetime, and at the time of passing. The Power of Attorney documents allow you to designate those agents whom you authorize to help you on your behalf during your lifetime, and the Will/Trust documents allow you to nominate others to help with your estate after your passing, as well as to identify the beneficiaries and the distributions to them, to accomplish your estate planning goals.

What websites can you recommend that can help me find them?

Tracking Tom

Remembering the Details

Before you begin your search, a good first step is to jot down

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram. And search engines like Google and Yahoo.

When using search engines,

type in the name of the person you’re searching for in quotation marks, for example, “John Smith.” You can narrow your search by adding other criteria like their nickname or middle name, the city or state they may live in, or even their occupation.

People Search Sites

If your initial search comes up empty, you can also use people searches like AnyWho.com, Intelius.com or WhitePages.com.

These sites will provide a list of potential matches from across the U.S. Because many people share the same name, these sites will also supply details to help identify the right person, perhaps including their age, prior hometowns, names of relatives, col-

Rotary celebrates Dr. Frank Sargent and his 50 years of service Dr. Frank Sargent has spent the last 50 years living the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.” On Nov.18 the Rotary Club of Englewood led a Zoom tribute to Dr. Sargent. A retired urologist living in suburban Englewood, Dr. Sargent has held many positions of leadership in the club, including president.

He was elected governor of District 5450 for the Rotary year 2006-2007. Club president Susan Van Dyke hailed Dr. Sargent as “our stellar and wellknown Englewood Rotarian, who has dedicated a boatload of time and money to make the community better and to enhance the lives of hundreds of school children in Englewood

While these sites are free to use at a basic level, they charge a small fee for providing certain details like the persons contact information. WhitePages, however, sometimes provides home phone numbers for free.

Niche Finding Sites

Here are a few other niche people-finding websites to help you with your search.

To look for old high school classmates, try Classmates.com.

This site has contact information only for people who have registered with it. But even if your friend hasn’t registered, it could provide contact info for another classmate who remains in touch with your friend.

Another option is to check out your high school alumni website.

Thousands of Denver youngsters may not have any gifts to open during the Holidays this year without the community’s support. DSCS had to cancel all 2020 fundraising events due to COVID and donations are urgently needed.

Help make the holidays brighter for kids in need Denver Santa Claus Shop won’t let COVID stand in its way of fulfilling its mission of “A Toy for Every Girl & Boy.” The nonprofit provides free toys to children in need and COVID can’t thwart that effort this year.

The virus has caused so many job layoffs and losses that DSCS expects a huge increase in families requesting toys this year.

“If people are able to donate,

our clients could really use your help,” said Scott Hamburg, President of DSCS. “We expect to help 13,000 or more children this year.”

DSCS will do a mobile toy giveaway instead of its usual toy store to keep everyone as safe as possible. Families in need are invited to The Shop by local Social Service Agencies and Community Partners. Parents will drive up to receive NEW toys based on their

children’s ages and gender. DSCS serves children ages newborn through 11 years old – and cannot accept any used toys or any new or used stuffed animals due to COVID. Donations can be made online and in person. Companies may try “Touchless Toy Drives” this year while Joy’s Consigned Furnishings and Larry H. Miller Dealerships are toy drop-off sites

“I need help” - A major new invention for addiction recovery

BY JESSICA GRAUER STAFF WRITER

These three words were the start of a fantastic journey of discovery, healing from addiction, and a major breakthrough invention for recovering patients.

“He gathered his family around him and, with great fear in his eyes, my loving Son, Charlie, told us that he was addicted to drugs. I will always thank God that he had the courage to Rise Up! and face this terrible problem head-on,” his father Mark Van Loucks says.

“We immediately placed him in a drug treatment clinic here in Denver. He was discharged 5 weeks later, and has not abused drugs in the 3 ½ years since.

In the last week of his treatment, the families were called in to the clinic for 5 days of education and orientation. We went through long, tedious lectures: ‘is drug addiction caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain?’; rather, ‘is it a simple matter of behavioral choice?’, and so on!

On the last day, I raised my hand and said, “I don’t care about all this stuff. I only care that my Son is getting out of here tomorrow.

What can I do to help, to support him?!”

The answer was simple, and too immediate: NOTHING! He got himself into this mess, only he can get himself out.”

“Surely, ultimately that’s true.

But we ALL need human support-you do, I do-especially in times of crisis in our lives,” Van Loucks explains.

Charlie was released the next day-with a stack of discharge papers: ‘go to group meetings, seek counseling, go to AA meetings, don’t do drugs, etc.’ That was it-no other form of support.

Typically, like the others, he was left to sustain his recovery by himself. Alone. Charlie was further saddened to learn that two of his friends had recently died of drug abuse. Alone.

“We talked, researched, and learned a great deal about this lack of aftercare. Indeed, we learned that the US Surgeon General’s Report-“Addiction in America”(2016)-estimates the relapse rate for those who had committed themselves to drug treatment approached 70% IN THE FIRST YEAR! One needn’t go further to know SOMETHING IS WRONG! My Son had an idea, and this project was born.”

In his living room in a Denver high rise, Mark Van Loucks and his son Charles discuss their company Recovery Partners, Inc. with us and how it came to be.

They have developed a cell phone app called Rise Up! for patients in recovery from drug and/or alcohol abuse disorders. Patients can use the app to stay connected with their personal support group who can track their progress live, 24 hours a day. On the back end, the app is linked to a system called Recovery Hub. Recovery Hub, intended for clinics, hospitals, doctors and treatment centers, is where addiction specialists can follow their current and past patients in real time to track the efficacy of their treatment plans.

The app has incredible potential

to improve the treatment of substance abuse disorders on both a systemic and an individual level, and Recovery Partners is ready to take their product to the next level.

The project took 2 and a half years of design and development.

Among others, the Van Louckses worked with 2 universities, several addiction clinics, and the nation’s leading doctors in the field of addiction. Rise Up! has 31 features - one of which is the daily progress survey the project was built by a team of software engineers led by Michael Zaletel, who does the software development for Mark Cuban’s companies among others.

“We need people, investors,” says Mark Van Loucks. “We need people on the Board who are knowledgeable in this technology and in this healthcare space,” meaning addiction and recovery.

“And we need a CEO. Charlie’s background is film school,” he says, referring to his son Charles, the founder and product designer for Recovery Partners. “He got straight A’s, but not in business school.”

Mark, one of the four founders of HBO says “this technology is way over my head, I’ve got a cell phone because my sons nagged me to get one, that’s it!”

“So we need a CEO, someone who can take this project and run with it.”

The idea for Recovery Partners grew in part from Charles Van Loucks’ experience in the recovery community and his father’s experience supporting his son. “It took a lot of strength for Charlie to come to his family and ask for help.

That’s tough to do,” says Mark.

“I believe there are opportunities that are put before us for a variety of reasons, and something put this addiction stuff in front of Charlie. Charlie is exactly the guy who was made to develop this,” he continues proudly. “It was his invention, his idea.”

“You know, for most of my life I thought photography and filmmaking was my life,” adds Charles. “I thought that was my passion. But after going through

Founder and inventor of Recovery Partners, Inc.- Charles Van Loucks - (seated), and Mark Van Loucks.

what I’ve been through, I’ve shifted my focus to helping others.

“Charlie’s a smart guy, a very creative guy,” his dad says. “But beyond all that, he really cares about people. It sounds rather trite.

I mean, who doesn’t care about human beings? But lots of people don’t, not to this extent. This guy really does. I’ve seen that since he was small.”

A native of California and graduate of Cal Berkeley, Mark Van Loucks moved to Colorado

as an executive with United Cable Television. Having been in the cable TV industry for many years, he retired from the television industry. He has been a consultant and investor ever since. He raised his family in Cherry Hills Village and lived in the same house for 37 years. “Four dogs, five cats, two sons, two wives,” he deadpans.

Van Loucks’ son Charles describes Colorado as the perfect place for a new business venture.

“It’s hard to beat Colorado. I was born and raised here. I love the mountains, I love the snow,” he says. “I went to New York for film school for a few years, then back here. Interestingly,” he continues, “the entrepreneurial spirit I was

looking for in L.A. is now here.”

Mark concurs. “I moved to Colorado in 1976 and worked in a building in the Denver Tech Center. There was nothing here.” He agrees with his son that the city has a different vibe than it used to have. “It’s becoming more tech-y and entrepreneurial. There’s more support here now.”

The Van Loucks’ lives changed drastically after drug addiction and its deadly consequences hit very close to home. After Charles completed treatment for substance abuse here in Colorado, the Van Louckses saw firsthand that patients leaving inpatient drug treatment are provided very little support for their next steps. “They gave Charlie some discharge papers,” Mark wrote in what would eventually become part of the Recovery Partners business plan. “Go to group meetings, seek counseling, go to AA meetings, don’t do drugs, etc.’ That was it - no other form of support.”

Van Loucks was astonished and appalled at this lack of aftercare.

“If you break your leg,” he intoned, “you go to the doctor and he fixes it, and you come back a few weeks later so he can follow up. That’s aftercare.” There’s none for the recovering addict!

In the recovery space, however, the options are neither affordable nor available enough for the majority of patients leaving drug treatment centers. The result of this missed opportunity is devastating. According to “Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health,” a 2016 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, between almost 70% of people treated for a substance use disorder experience a relapse within twelve months of being discharged from treatment. To Mark, this was both incredible and unacceptable.

“Can you imagine if the chance of breaking your leg again was 70%?” Mark asks. But it was also, they soon saw, an opportunity to make a difference.

Today, treatment for substance abuse disorder is based on a medical, disease model of addiction.

Like other chronic diseases such as type II diabetes, addiction has environmental, genetic, and behavioral components. As scien-

tists learn more about the causes of addiction, they can also learn how to better treat it. But there is still so much data to be collected, especially on the behavioral side.

This is where the Van Loucks come in. Under the creative direction of Charles and working with experienced app developers, Recovery Partners has built a coordinated system to integrate clinical aftercare with the recovering patient, his family, doctors and community support.

Charles describes the uncertainty of life after treatment.

“When you come out, you’re a very raw bundle of nerves. You’ve been through a lot, removed a lot of old bandages and exposed a lot of old wounds. You’re really a brand new person, feeling certain emotions for the first time. For me, what I experienced was, I could be sitting in a room full of people that I love and care about, and all of a sudden I’d feel extremely anxious, super uncomfortable, for no reason at all.”

At the heart of the Rise Up! app is a daily survey that helps recovering patients track all of these new, intense feelings. The survey asks a variety of questions about routines, emotional triggers and comforts, and support systems. By associating the survey data with a time or a place, the recovery patient can learn to handle those feelings with confidence (and without their drug of choice). “I feel like having that information is really important,” Charles Van Loucks reiterates. In the early days of recovery, as soon as someone feels something too intensely, their first instinct may be to go back to using. “In the back of their minds they know exactly what will take [those feelings] away,” says Van Loucks. “It’s a tool they used for a long time, and they know works like that, immediately.” He snaps his fingers. “I think that the connections we can bring to light by analyzing daily use data can generally help the whole industry as well as the individual.”

Another critically-important feature of Rise Up! and Recovery Hub is the Circle of Care. This is the group of doctors, counselors, family, and loved ones chosen by the recovery patient to have access to the patient’s progress-live 24 hours a day. The clinicians on the Recovery Hub side access and customize the daily survey, and receive data from the Rise Up! side to track their patient’s progress.

Family and loved ones receive updates from the surveys as well and there is a chat option for the patient and their circle to communicate with each other. This group concept is what really grabbed Mark Van Loucks. “I wanted to be there with Charlie all the time, but he’s an adult, he had to do it himself. With this app, in many ways, you can be there.”

“A common theme I’ve read about in drug abuse is loneliness,” says Van Loucks. “A person can be in a crowd of four hundred people and feel terribly lonely. If it was me, if I was in this situation, just knowing that the people who love me, who I love, are in my pocket, right here.“ He points to his cell phone in his shirt pocket.

Who would have thought in March that travel would still be severely impacted in November by COVID-19? Although most travel advisors knew COVID-19 was serious and that it would have a significant impact on travel, I believe most (including myself) felt that by now travel would be on the uptick; maybe not cruising, but certainly that other forms of travel would be in a recovery mode.

So just what is the current state of travel?

BOOK YOUR TRAVEL

CRUISE LINES – Although the CDC has lifted its “No Sail” order, they replaced it with a “Framework for Resuming Safe and Responsible Cruise Ship Passenger Operations” which is a long way of saying that the cruise lines must implement a phased return to cruising and comply with a detailed list of actionable items including on-board air filtration systems; procedures to test and monitor passengers prior to embarkation, in ports-of-call, and at disembarkation; quarantine and isolation protocols; and, conducting mock cruises to ensure on-board procedures actually work and are effective.

Most cruise lines have suspended operations through December 31st, with a few through January 31st.

Realistically I believe it will be February 1st, at best before cruising resumes. As a result, the cruise lines are continuing to discount fares for 2021 and 2022 as well as offering additional amenities such as free beverage packages, prepaid gratuities and on-board credit to name a few.

ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORTS – Travelers’ willingness to book all-inclusive resorts has been a lifeline for many travel advisors. Mexico re-opened earlier to travelers than most other foreign countries and has developed world-class and recognized safety and hygiene protocols to ensure travelers feel comfortable.

Many Caribbean destinations have reopened with varying protocols including pre-entry negative COVID PCR testing. There are a few Caribbean countries such as Curacao that while open to most travelers, still exclude Americans who are considered high-risk. All-inclusive rates in general are the lowest they have been in recent memory. And, as with cruise lines, all-inclusive resorts are offering added value amenities.

HOTELS AND RESORTS – Both domestically and in the countries open to American travelers you can find some great rates as well as added amenities. The major chains as well most independently owned properties have implemented safety and hygiene procedures to ensure travelers feel protected.

Within the U.S., Hawaii, in particular, has discouraged most travelers from visiting. The number of daily visitors plummeted due to Hawaii’s mandatory 14-day quarantine requirement. The state modified their

entry requirements in the last few weeks to allow travelers (and residents) to avoid quarantine with proof of a pre-entry negative COVID PCR test current within 72-hours of arrival. To help facilitate travel to Hawaii, major air carriers are offering preflight COVID testing.

TOURS – The major tour operators such as Globus and Trafalgar have implemented various procedures including reduced tour capacity, social distancing requirements, temperature checks and sanitizing tour buses to provide added safety.

Several tour operators are offering private family-only tours to meet the needs of those concerned about traveling with others.

AIRLINES – The airlines, in order to survive, implemented protocols such as mandatory face masks, modified boarding and deplaning procedures, blocked middle seats in economy, reduced/eliminated food and beverage service, and the sanitizing of aircraft interiors between flights. Although airline travel has rebounded from the February/March low when air travel was off 90% to 95%; airline travel is still off by approximately 40%.

FOREIGN TRAVEL – Americans continue to be banned from most foreign countries and it’s anyone’s guess when Americans will be able to return. There are several countries however, that remain open, with and without quarantine, to Americans who can meet certain conditions. If you have a question about a specific country, contact us and we’ll provide information.

So, where do we go from here?

When will travel return to some semblance of normal? When can you travel again? The answer, of course, is we don’t know for sure. There is without doubt a tremendous amount of pent-up demand to travel again whether it is cruising, flying, touring, visiting new destinations or just relaxing at your favorite all-inclusive resort!

Although we don’t have definitive answers to the above questions, we do know, that now is a great time to begin planning your future travel; prices are down, and amenities are up! We have been told by many of our clients that the planning exercise has been a boost psychologically for them and given them something to look forward to in the future once COVID is behind them.

Be safe in all your travels!

Let us Celebrate 75 Years!

And since red denotes royalty, it is a cherry celebration! How about making some White Chocolate Cherry Cookies (Yummy), or some Maraschino Cherry Cream Cheese Brownie Bars (moist and chewy), or some Cherry Granola (the best ever), or some Cherry Polish NALEWKA Liqueur (a very old recipe passed down from a friend that was born in Poland), with a bonus of the fruit that could be chocolate dipped and served to adults? And if you are thinking outside of the box, I have a great free pattern for a Cherry Pit Heating Pad (that I also make and sell) that can be received through reaching out to me at rubyrockstherock@gmail.com

Cherry Granola

I have never tried to make granola since I have always been a happy camper with the Quaker Oats brand granola. It is sweet, lightly crunchy and I love the clumps, so that is what I was looking for in a recipe. Do not hesitate to experiment with adding different ingredients, as I did six one cup experiments to get this recipe. Each cup varied by a tweak or two, to a major variation, but I wanted something that would be better than my favorite.

The recipe I am sharing is unique in that it has a cherry pie crumble pie topping added to the granola!

Please try it and give me your feedback at rubyrockstherock@ gmail.com

CRUMBLES

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Crumble Dry Ingredients (mix together in medium bowl) • 6 tablespoons instant non-fat dry milk • ¼ cup white flour • 2 tablespoons sugar • 2 tablespoons cornstarch • 1/8 teaspoon salt Crumble Wet Ingredients (mix together in medium bowl) 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 can cherry pie filling, ONLY USING THE GEL, NOT THE CHERRIES After mixing the wet ingredients, pour over the dry ingredients slowly, stirring with a fork, working the dough to form crumbles, varying in sizes no larger than a pea. Toss the crumbles onto the prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes. Cool. Set aside until the granola is done baking and has cooled.

GRANOLA

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.

Granola Dry Ingredients (mix together in large bowl) • 3 cups Quaker uncooked Old-Fashioned Oatmeal • ½ cup chopped dried cherries • ½ cup sliced almonds

• ¼ cup pecan pieces • ¼ cup pistachio nuts • Granola Wet Ingredients (mix together in large bowl) • ¼ cup melted butter • ½ cup maple syrup • ½ brown sugar • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract • ¼ teaspoon almond extract • ½ teaspoon cinnamon • ½ teaspoon salt Pour your dry ingredients, a bit at a time, into your large wet ingredients bowl, stirring until well coated. Spread onto the lined pan and bake for 10 minutes and stir, return to bake, repeat instruction. The granola should be a light golden color.

Let cool. Toss in the cherry crumbles into the granola mix.

The granola will keep up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.

But I bet it will not last a week, once you make it!

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP CHERRY COOKIES

These are delicious, sweet, and chewy cookies. In fact, as my friend calls them, they are yummy cookies!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Have some sugar in a small bowl to dip a flat-bottomed glass to flatten the cookies. This sugar in NOT part of the sugar in the recipe.

• ½ cup room temp butter • ½ cup brown sugar • ½ cup granulated sugar • 1 egg • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract • ½ teaspoon almond extract • ½ teaspoon salt • 1 1/3 cup flour • ½ teaspoon baking soda • 1 teaspoon cornstarch • ½ cup dried cherries • ¼ cup sliced almonds Dry Ingredients In a medium bowl mix flour, baking soda and cornstarch. Set aside.

Wet Ingredients In medium bowl beat butter until fluffy. Add in sugars until creamed. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt.

Combine dry ingredients into the wet ingredients bowl and mix.

Stir in white chocolate chips, cherries, and almonds.

Chill mixture for 20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Use a cookie dough scoop to form the cookies. Place them two inches apart from each other on the prepared cookie sheet.

Dip the above mentioned glass into the cookie batter to get a butter coating on the BOTTOM of the glass, then dip into the sugar, use the sugar coated bottom to press down on the cookie, taking the curve off the dough ball. Continue to do the dip press procedure until the pan is ready to go into the oven. Bake 10-12 min until a light golden color. Allow to cool. They are a great milk and cookie snack!

It has a large glass insert covering a rare antique carved Japanese screen.

On each side of the table are insets of unique surprises. The table is drilled in the middle to accept a custom-made rectangular umbrella. The table’s legs are made from walnut, sliced lengthwise from a mature log. And it is lit underneath for a beautiful evening look. The chairs,

Quincy Farm Continued from page 9

CHLP, confirmed CHLP’s support of the proposal from the Anderson family.

After Anderson’s presentation, some members of city council offered comments or asked questions. City Councilmember Dan Sheldon wondered about “giving the property away and getting nothing in return,” saying he was “intrigued by the idea,” but not ready to make a decision.

Councilmember Randy Weil said, “We have a public trust that we have to fulfill,” noting he was worried about protecting long-term community interests.

Councilmember Afshin Safavi said, “I like the idea (of the Anderson family taking back and managing QF), “but I don’t want to have two years of philosophical discussion. I’m sure there’s

a way to have this be a winwin but I don’t want this to go on and on. It’s just not right.”

Mayor Pro Tem Katy Brown said, “This is a multi-million-dollar asset that was gifted to the people of CHV. Our duty to the citizens of CHV is to take care of it.” She noted that no other interested parties had presented ideas for the property other than Natalie Anderson. She asked Anderson about the family, since no other family members had appeared to speak about this issue with the council to date.

Natalie Anderson said that the surviving children of Cat Anderson were her father and his three brothers, her uncles.

Brown asked Anderson who from the city had approached her about taking title to the property. Anderson said it had been Mayor Stewart.

On November 5, CHV posted this message on its

website and social media and sent it directly to anyone who had signed up to be notified about the Quincy Farm Committee: “City Council voted on September 1, 2020 that the City suspend activities related to the Quincy Farm Master Plan and fully explore this opportunity. Natalie Anderson submitted a draft Management Plan for the farm for consideration at the October 20th City Council meeting. Before the City proceeds in exploring options, City Council is interested to hear from residents about their opinions regarding the future of Quincy Farm. A strategy for public outreach is being developed – once it is finalized, another email will be sent to this list to alert interested residents how to participate. Participation will be open to all.”

My family moved to Cherry Hills Village in 1967...my husband, me, and our four sons. Mike, our oldest started Cherry Hills Elementary...the younger three were still at home.

In those days, Mike could walk to fifth grade... out the back door and across Quincy without fear of heavy traffic.

The only stop between Clarkson and Happy Canyon was at University.

My main interest was mainly in Cherry Hills Elementary School and later in Kent Denver as each son graduated from both schools.

In the late 1970’s, I offered to edit the Village Crier and put out monthly newsletters which I did for four years. That led to an interest in the government of Cherry Hills so I ran for office against the incumbent. Bob St. Clair.

I was elected Mayor in 1984 and served in that position until 1998. It would be impossible to relate all that occurred so I will concentrate on the developments in large parcels of land while I was Mayor.

The City Council and I were responsible for the development of the property across from Cherry Hills Country Club, the Buck property at Hampden and Colorado Blvd. and the Buell acreage at Hampden and University. Approval had been granted by a previous City Council for a small hotel and condominiums which would change our limited zoning to permit commercial properties. That would threaten the remaining undeveloped land in the Village.

I received a call one morning from Dan Ritchie, the Chancellor of Denver University and trustee of the Buell Property to come to his office

Mayor Laura Christman

Mayor Russell O. Stewart

As kids in the 1960s growing up near the High Line Canal we celebrated three seasons, wild asparagus (spring), rope swings and tubing (summer) and wild plum (fall).

The 1960s were very different times, with few people, dirt roads, cattle, sheep, and horses. With this year marking the 75th Anniversary of our Village, those seasons if one looks hard, can still be possible.

On this auspicious year I have the luck and privilege of serving as Mayor of the community recognized as the best place to live in America. Two that profoundly shaped the Village we know today are worth remembering.

In the 1960s leading citizens of Greenwood Village and Cherry Hills Village proposed a combination. The benefits were clear – economies of scale would be realized by joining police and public works of two communities that at the time were very similar in size and character. Indeed, the only concern was that the merger would change the character of the communities. The voters of Cherry Hills Village

to discuss what was possible to begin development on the property as soon as possible. We were both anxious to end years of litigation so we created a new category of R-3A, Variable Lot Residential District. The new zoning allowed the increase in housing density sought by the developer. The small residential lots were buffered on the east side by R-1 lots of 2.5 acres which would interface with the R-2 (1 1/4) lots of Devonshire Heights to the east.

In the meantime, Jim Buck wanted to sell his property at Colorado Boulevard and Hampden.

He expected the City to provide development plans. I explained the property was platted to include standard city lots. The Buck family wanted to increase the density from the 2 1/2 acre zoning. We agreed to modify the designation to the R-3A for the 25 acre properties and it allowed Covington to be developed.

The Koelbel property across from Cherry Hills Country Club was developed as originally zoned into 2 1/2 acres.

More mayoral memories were; meeting with HOA’s, other municipalities, and holding fast to our mission statement.

I would like to quote it now: “It is the mission of the city to preserve the pastoral environment, the low density residential dwellings and the quality of life covering: land use, public safety, streets, parks, communi-

vote yes to the merger, but Greenwood Village residents voted no, concerned that their rural way of life would be lost.

A few years later came the Keyes desegregation case in Denver and school busing, which prompted the Poundstone Amendment to the Colorado Constitution that stopped the City and County of Denver from annexing additional land.

Freda Poundstone was then elected Mayor of Greenwood Village and undertook an aggressive plan to annex commercial property along I-25 adjacent to the Denver Tech Center. Today Greenwood Village has a vast amount of commercial properties and a budget many times the size of Cherry Hills Village, something voters in Greenwood Village who were so concerned about preserving their rural character in the 1960s, could never have imagined.

Cherry Hills Village is now the last remaining (almost) entirely residential home rule city in the metropolitan area. And we like it that way.

Best wishes and Happy Anniversary to all.

Mayor Doug Tisdale The greatest memory and the greatest joy, that I had as Mayor was working and being with children. I remember the first Metro Mayors Caucus meeting I attended was interrupted by an emergency call that we had a gas leak at the Joint Public Safety Facility, which was under construction. We were going to have to evacuate Cherry Hills Village Elementary. I left the meeting and raced to the elementary school, where I proceeded to serve as cheerleader and facilitator for loading the school children onto the buses. The superintendent and the principal were shocked and concerned at first, but ultimately appreciated the fact that great comfort was provided to the children by having their Mayor there. I gave out about 200 cards and 100 hugs. It was a memorable day.

A second vignette relates to our dedication of Duke Beardsley’s artwork in the Joint Public Safety Facility. We had the entire grade school class of Duke’s daughters from CHV Elementary join us for this wonderful event. It was a magical moment that demonstrated all that is special about Cherry Hills and I was honored to be a part of it.

And finally, I was privileged to be the Mayor when The Wall Street Journal reported that Cherry Hills Village had been selected as the Number One Best Suburb of America to Live In. This happened just six months after I had been elected Mayor. I’m not saying I caused that, I just note that it had never happened before I was elected Mayor.

cation. administration, finance and utilities.”

I think the natural playground in Meade Park where families could gather and enjoy the beauty of Cherry Hills Village is one of my best memories.

As a new mayor, I thought building this playground seemed a simple goal; however, the Parks and Trails Commission had bigger plans for the redevelopment of Meade Park which hinged on the removal of the Public Works Facility. Public hearings in an overcrowded City Hall brought complaints that City Hall was outdated. Further review disclosed that both structures had serious deferred maintenance and were in violation of both State and Federal law.

The Village needed to buy land and build a Public Works Facility, build a

new City Hall and redevelop Meade Park.

Creative design promoted by two sophisticated City Councils coupled with long term planning and fiscal conservatism resulted in a City Hall that can function as Council chambers, court room and community center; a parking lot that doubles as outdoor space for Village events; a Public Works facility that sits on land which is more valuable than its acquisition price, becoming a long term asset rather than a liability; a beautifully restored park with a performance area, restrooms, patio space, fishing piers and yes, a natural playground. Perhaps I should have reread “When You Give a Mouse a Cookie” before I became Mayor.

Thank you Mayor Stewart & past Mayors of Cherry Hills Village for your service and dedication

Kent Denver School: A Campus in Service to the Community

New LEED-Platinum Middle School that opened in 2018 Photo by SempleBrown Design

BY LISA MORTELL

With a sprawling property that encompasses nearly 200 acres—more than 75% of which is open space—Kent Denver School occupies a unique place in the heart of Cherry Hills Village. On any given day, scores of dog-walkers, joggers, bikers, equestrians, bird-watchers and other nature-lovers enjoy the school’s trails and other outdoor spaces.

This openness to the public is unusual for an independent school campus, but Head of

School Rand Harrington sees it as a key part of what makes Kent Denver successful. “Our neighbors really care about our kids and they care about our campus,” Dr. Harrington explains. “They call us when they see something that needs to be addressed—like broken sprinklers or other concerns— and that partnership helps us maintain this amazing shared resource.”

Dr. Harrington also notes that Kent Denver has a partnership with Cherry Hills Village

that extends beyond just welcoming neighbors to campus.

“When the city or our neighbors ask us for help, we like to show up,” he says. “From providing parking for major events like PGA tournaments or offering space for equipment staging during improvements to utilities and roadways, we’ve always tried to step up to support the city and its goals.”

Stewardship of the campus is a key priority for school leaders, a priority that is reflected in recent improvements to Kent Denver’s facilities. “In the past 10 years, the school has added several new buildings and transformed nearly every learning space on campus while maintaining our small footprint of developed land,” says As-

sociate Head of School Jerry Walker. “We are also a national leader in sustainable construction with four LEED-certified buildings, including three with the Platinum designation for maximum environmental sustainability.”

How KDS Came to the Village

Kent Denver School’s Cherry Hills Village campus came about thanks to a lucky combination of good timing, visionary leadership and a generous community.

When the Kent School for Girls outgrew its campus on South University Boulevard, a trustee committee recommended purchasing 250-acres of the Blackmer Farm along Quincy Avenue. Although this property would likely have fetched

at least $10,000 per acre from developers in 1963, the Blackmer family and their partners allowed the school to acquire the land for just $4,500 per acre, or $1.1 million.

Initially Kent’s trustees envisioned creating a 100-acre campus with the remainder of the property to be sold as housing sites. Instead, the Denver Country Day School for boys proposed the two schools share a campus, and preserving the 200 acres west of the High Line Canal became financially feasible.

After several years of fundraising and construction, the two schools completed their transition to the Blackmer Farm property in 1968. They eventually merged to form Kent Denver School in 1974.

It was a privilege to be born and raised in Cherry Hills Village

BY BOB WARREN CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE RESIDENT

Growing up on South Lafayette Street, my earliest memories were of a fire in our attic and the volunteer fire department putting it out; the chickens in our back lot (collecting the eggs and fearing the rooster) Also, there was a local eccentric we named “Crazy Sam” who drove his horse and buggy down Lafayette Street and spit chewing tobacco juice at the kids running alongside his rig and yelling at him.

Another memory was walking home from Cherry Hills School (now Cherry Hills Elementary) when Town Marshal Jess Bridle would drive up in his Oldsmobile, stop, and give us a ride home.

He was a nice man who helped us learn that cops cared about us.

Oh! And there was my dog Pat; I could not forget him!

My life was greatly influenced by my grandfather Bansbach, who would take me out to his farm and put me in a combine bin during wheat harvest; riding behind a tractor with the wheat kernels pouring in on top of me and chewing on the raw wheat was an exciting time for me. Our farm headquarters then were in the Meade property across Quincy from school and the cook, Mrs. Harvey, would bake cookies that I could walk over after school and eat.

My dad, of course, was my hero, although he travelled a lot, he was a volunteer fireman, a deputy marshal and my early on baseball fan-often playing catch and hitting ground balls to me in our back lot. He was a member of Cherry Hills Country Club A

and played golf with President Eisenhower and I got to meet the president.

When I was a child, Cherry Hills was rural. People had horses, sheep, goats, chickens etc. The houses were modest, ours had only one bathroom for Mom, Dad, my two brothers (Dake and Jim) and me. That was a problem. There were not many houses: 4 or 5 on Lafayette Street, two or three on S. Franklin St. and not much else.

The difference is that now Cherry Hills has become an upscale suburban residential Community with mostly mansions and fewer rural amenities. We would ride our bikes everywhere, play sandlot baseball and football in vacant fields, hunt doves and play war games, all in the village.

My Grandfather’s farm/ranch was all purchased long before I was born; much of it by my Great Grandmother. I did not realize the land would become so valuable-never thought of it as a child.

In fact, I remember my grandfather was so upset when the State Highway Department put I-25 through the middle of his farm/ ranch because he couldn’t get his machinery from one side of the highway to the other. Little did we know!

Parents were active in supporting the Cherry Hills School.

Gay and I raised our children in Cherry Hills Village. It was a very wholesome, safe, congenial, and supportive community.

Halloween was a special time in the neighborhood until kids from outside the Village crashed the party for trick or treats. Cherry Hills was the ideal community in which to raise a family and probably still is.

I am, of course, proud of my children and grandchildren (Maddie and Zoe Warren). They have all been successful in their own ways and in my eyes as well. Trey, an architect, is paving the way for our development of Belleview Station and Charlotte is an accomplished professional musician and teacher. Maddie is working in Chicago after graduation from SMU and Zoe is a Senior at CU.

A new invention for addiction recovery Continued from page 17

know what I’m doing. Just the knowledge of that would help me so much.”

Communication in real time sets Recovery Partners apart from other apps in the recovery space, whether they’re for substance abuse or, for example, eating disorders.

“A lot of apps on the market are self-help based,” says Charles Van Loucks. “Like, if you don’t take these certain steps, it’s not gonna work. The way we’ve gotten around that is the Circle of Care, that support group. Because there’s a moment when picking up the phone when you need help is very difficult. Your circle is engaged with you every step of the way, and they can see what’s going on with you. In that tough moment, they can reach out to you and make it easier.”

“Our app is live, it’s in real time,” his father continues. “The recovering patient’s behavior can trigger our app to provide an appropriate level of support. Does he need support materials or a meeting? Or, in the worst case, does he need an ambulance? He doesn’t have to pick up the phone and call for help; his support group is coming because they know he needs help by the way he’s answered some of the questions in our survey.”

Recovery Partners has 31 features they eventually plan to integrate into their app. Currently, four or five of these features have been built and tested, including

Circle of Care and Go to Meeting, which uses GPS data to connect patients with local recovery resources. Eventually, the location services data will expand to include geofencing, building a virtual boundary in a location associated with some aspect of the recovery patient’s behavior. “Let’s say your support group notices your increased anxiety on Thursdays between 9:00p.m. and midnight,” Mark explains. “Where are you between 9:00 p.m. and midnight?

We know where you are - your cell phone has the GPS locator. As soon as your cell phone crosses the geofence appropriate support and help is sent immediately.”

Charles Van Loucks adds, “An important distinction about the geofencing and the support material is that it’s not always used to say, ‘He’s over there, I’m gonna alert the group, tell him to leave’ kind of thing. It’s not for that reason. It’s because when we get back into life, we can’t run around isolating and avoiding. We have to learn how to get into situations and get through them using the support tools we have, whether that’s our group or meditations or something else.”

“I think it’s important to say that we could release the app right now,” says Mark Van Loucks.

“But - and this is very important I don’t want this to come out too soon. I have invested in startups for many years, and most often if a project fails, it was because it came out before it was fully ready, or it was too successful and it grew too fast. Our app works,

but we need a bit more time and money to build it out to its full potential.” And they need a CEO. “A year after we come out, it’s going to look dramatically different. It’s going to grow and change.

We need a CEO who knows how to deal with the company in this technology space and the drug addiction space.”

Recovery Partners is looking for around $5 million in investments. “The potential for investors is so huge, the market is also. There are many addictions, smoking, eating, shopping, sex, etc. This project is designed to easily move into these spaces.”

The draw for investors, Van Loucks explains, is the data, which will be sold anonymously and in a way that is compliant with HIPAA and other patient privacy practices. The potential for the data to aid in understanding behavioral patterns for substance abuse disorders - and really, all addiction disorders - is huge.

Potential buyers include families, universities, insurance companies, and research institutions to name a few. Even clinics will be able to share data. But Van Loucks wants to reiterate that the most important thing is the individual.

“You came out of the clinic earlier this morning. You’re clean. We are going to keep you that way.

We’re going to surround you with a circle of care. We are going to be with you, live, 24 hours a day to help keep you clean. In the process, we’re going to learn a lot about your addiction problem.

You’re going to learn a lot about your addiction problem, but our

main goal, our main focus, is just keeping you clean.”

Van Loucks hopes to find people who are interested in the financial incentives as well as the, well, spiritual ones. “Why should someone get involved?” he repeats when asked this question. “Why should they call me? The answer is they’ve probably seen the tragedy of drug addiction among their family or friends. The answer is it’s someone who wants to make money, sure, but honestly wants to help save lives. And we are really going to save people’s lives. I’ve seen scores of investments since 1982. Succeeded in most, failed in a couple. Nothing like this. Beyond the numbers, and I have the numbers, but beyond that, we are saving lives. That’s a rare opportunity. That’s the reason someone should get involved. That opportunity doesn’t come around that often.

“Even right here in Cherry Hills Village, we’ve seen drug addiction destroy families. There’s such a void out there of people trying to help. Other than clinics and doctors, it’s not enough.

That’s part of what makes this incredible. I have not seen a potential investment like this in my career. It’s particularly attractive to a guy my age to get involved in a deal where he can make some money and save some lives. For my age, investors like me, money isn’t the only issue anymore, legacy is.

A Denver institution since 1864 moves to Cherry Hills Village in 1951 Three courageous and visionary Sisters of Loretto traveled to Colorado Territory in 1864 to meet an imperative need to educate children on the rugged frontier. Without pause, St. Mary’s Academy has grown with the Denver area, outgrowing its two-story, wood-framed house on downtown’s California Street, the much larger four-story red-brick building above downtown on Pennsylvania Street, and even the original building on the vast green campus in Cherry Hills Village.

Here is a brief timeline of how St. Mary’s Academy came to its forever home, built out better than ever, thanks to its faithful community.

1864 St. Mary’s Academy opened on August 1, 1864 in a two-story, wood framed “White House” to the delight of Denver City’s new citizens. The school grew to be a central fixture of the Denver community and a bridge between the old Wild

West Denver and the city’s hopeful future.

1911 St. Mary’s Academy moved to its second location, at 1370 Pennsylvania Street, a four-story, neoclassical red-brick building. The school was on the same block of Margaret “Molly” Brown, a social activist and donor to the school. It remained the home to St. Mary’s Academy during WWI, the Pandemic of 1918, the Great Depression, WWII, and the beginning of the Korean War. 1951 In the post-war years, dreams grew of a campus that would be near flourishing neighborhoods, have enough land to include sports facilities and outdoor activities, and afford easy transportation options. A search committee considered several locations for the new campus, including the location of what would become Denver Botanic Gardens. They decided on the University Boulevard estate of the late automobile executive

Aerial view of campus

Alan R. Hickerson. The 24-acre estate proved to be the perfect location, with abundant space, quiet surroundings, and luminous open views of the Front Range from Longs Peak to Pikes Peak. Fittingly, to the west of the new campus, the majestic tower of Loretto Heights was visible, where in 1891 Loretto Heights Academy had been opened to accommodate the boarders of St. Mary’s Academy while the downtown campus remained a day school.

1953 The first building erected on the University Boulevard campus was a modern school for all students of the Academy.

Today it is the co-ed Lower School. Boys have been attending through Grade 8 since the early 1950s.

1964 St. Mary’s Academy celebrated its 100th Anniversary, and the cornerstone for the high school building, Bonfils Hall, was laid. A generous $500,000 gift from Helen Bonfils, secretary treasurer of The Denver

Post, funded half the cost of the new building.

1982 The convent at Hickerson House was remodeled into a dedicated space for the growing Middle School.

1986 The near 27,000 square foot Bishop Evans Sports Center was completed, with a double gym, locker rooms and showers, a weight room, training room and offices.

2000 The state-of-the-art Middle School building was completed, with classrooms and community pods and a Commons for assemblies and prayer services.

2000 Athletic fields renovated for drainage requirements to build the Middle School are named Biddle Fields, honoring the first lay chair of the Board of Trustees and benefactor, LaFawn Biddle and her husband, Dusty Biddle.

2014 A $1 million dollar renovation of the High School forum was completed with stateof-the-art acoustics and lighting for performances, and a new space for the Coyle Gallery, named after Mary Ann Coyle SL, who served as the first president of St. Mary’s Academy from 1977- 1986.

2015 The first 100% Nike Grind turf field, visible from University Boulevard, made its stunning debut as the Pam Bent Field at Biddle Fields. Pam Bent was the beloved High School advisor and coach of the Division II State Lacrosse Championship team in 1993 and 1994.

The funding of the turf field and subsequent gift from her estate to St. Mary’s Academy made Bent the most generous donor in the history of the school.

2015 As part of a major capital campaign, the Community Center was completed on the 150th anniversary of the Academy. The wall of windows in Duncan Commons dining hall face west. The center, with geothermal heating and cooling, also features classrooms for the early childhood program, a counseling office for the Lower School and Middle School, drama and music spaces, and world language classrooms.

2019 Completion of the new High School Counseling Center, renovation of Our Lady of Loretto Chapel, and a new indoor/outdoor dining area for High School students.

Now with five buildings on campus, and the state-of-art athletic fields, there is still plenty of open space that has been both practical and restorative during the pandemic that will inform an update to the legendary timeline of St. Mary’s Academy.

BY ROBERT P. DAVISON III ELDEST SON OF FORMER MAYOR ROBERT DAVIDSON

hen I was in Third Grade at Cherry Hills Elementary School in the early 1950s, I often walked to and from school with a small group of kids from our neighborhood on Martin Lane. Pat and Mary Powell were two older girls that were our leaders. The boys consisted of myself and the girl’s younger brother David who was about my age. Our route took us west down Quincy to Little Dry Creek where we would climb down to the creek and sneak onto the Cherry Hills golf course as a short cut back to Martin Lane.

On this particular day, we had just left school and were walking down Quincy next to the seventeenth fairway. There was a wire fence that separated us from the golf course. Since the shrubbery was not as thick as it is now, it was easy to see golfers. As we walked, not really paying much attention to a party of players that were heading towards the seventeenth green, two men came over and asked if we

November 26, 2020 • THE VILLAGER | PAGE 39

wanted to meet the President. None of us were aware that this meant the President of the United States, but we said “yes.”

Shortly after making this statement, a man came over an introduced himself as President Eisenhower. When he asked if we were going to school, I spoke up and said “No, it is after three o’clock and we are going home.”

I thought that any grownup should know this! Anyway, we chatted for a few more minutes and the President stuck his arm through the fence and shook each of our hands. He then walked away to resume playing golf and my group of kids continued on our walk back home.

That evening at dinner, my parents asked me the usual question about what my school day was like. After telling them about the day, I then added that I met President Eisenhower on the walk back home.

At first, they did not believe this. So, I related how this chance meeting occurred.

All they could say was ...

“Wow.”

August 13, 1953 President Eisenhower takes a practice swing with an eight iron as he warms up for a round of golf at Cherry Hills Country Club in Englewood, Colorado.

Meet an Author who grew up in Cherry Hills Village is proud to introduce

Lisa Shultz

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in old Cherry Hills Village in the 1960’s and 1970’s. My first home was at 4180 S. Humboldt Street, but I only lived there for about 6 months before moving to 1399 E. Quincy Ave. where my parents built a house. I was a lucky kid to grow up there. I went to school at Cherry Hills Elementary, West Middle School and Cherry Creek High School.

Cherry Hills Village has changed a lot from the days of my youth. I recently drove by the Humboldt address, and it is now a big barn. My family sold our Quincy home in 1987 and it was eventually razed and a new, large home built in 2005, sits on the lot now.

What did you like about growing up in Cherry Hills Village?

I loved growing up in an area with 2.5 acre lots, many of which had barns and horses. I used to love riding my bike everywhere, particularly on summer evenings to watch the sunset.

We had a barn and sometimes we had horses too. My dad designed the barn with a haymow. But he didn’t put hay in it.

I made a room in the loft and invited my friends to join me for slumber parties up there. I decorated it a bit and delighted in having a secret place where my friends and I could hang out.

What memories stand out from your childhood?

Our home had a large deck that faced east. We were close to Cherry Hills Country Club, so we always had a big party on the 4th of July so that we could watch the fireworks together with neighbors. Before the show, we always had homemade ice cream. As a kid, I helped make that ice cream and still make a batch each Independence Day now.

I loved sledding. We had old fashioned sleds with the metal runners. After big snows, we would walk to nearby hills on roads that ran east from Franklin Street near Tufts. We would sled for hours. I particularly remember the Blizzard of ‘82. We were stuck at home from Christmas to New Years Day that year and we went sledding every day.

After you graduated from high school, what did you do?

I pursued a degree in Physical Therapy and graduated from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. My first PT job was at St. Anthony’s Hospital in Denver. Later I married and had two daughters, who both graduated

from Cherry Creek High School. Life changes and I became divorced and switched to a writing career. I have written multiple books. The most recent book is entitled Essential Denver: Exploration and Discovery Guide. In recent years I began to take historic tours of Denver and reacquaint myself with parts of the city that I had forgotten. I gathered fun facts about interesting places, people and history of Denver to share with others. I created great lists of places to visit in hopes its treasures will be preserved and appreciated. The book is a perfect holiday gift and ongoing resource for exploration.

What keeps you busy when you are not writing?

I often spend time in Breckenridge and hike a lot. I also love to travel, swim and dance.

How can people find out more about you and the book?

You’ve earned it, let’s keep it. Unique strategies resulting in over $4 Billion in Recaptured Business Savings Via Contingency Services. Our strategies are an extension and to be used in tandem with your CPA to maximize cash flow and profitability.

Since this is my first article, I’ll spend a little time sharing about myself personally so we can try and get to know each other a bit. First off, I relocated to Denver in 1994 and have lived here ever since. My native upbringing and roots are in Texas where I grew up and attended K-12 schooling in north Dallas suburb: Richardson, Texas. I’ve always had a love and passion for sports, math, and science (unfortunately never much into liberal arts world, but truly am trying these days). I ended up going to college in Denton, Texas north of Dallas graduating with top honors in

computer science.

I am married to my lovely and oh so very talented (no question – biased for sure) wife Laura who I first met right out of college when I joined IBM in Tucson, AZ in 1982.

Laura and I got married in 1986 after transferring with IBM to Washington D.C. where I consulted for IBM on a wide variety of large enterprise clients in DC and surrounding areas.

We had the opportunity again with IBM to transfer to Denver to work on a very large outsourcing deal.

My IBM journey ended in 2016 having worked for them for nearly three and a half decades.

In 2016, after leaving IBM, I was introduced and am now associated and linked to a nationwide business consulting practice. You read the headline correct. Our nationwide practice has assisted businesses in capturing over $4 Billion in overall business benefits. No company is too

Cherry Cordial Liqueur

What do cherries do for your body?

Cherries are packed with delicious nutrition.

They give you a Musings with bite-sized boost of essential vitamins and nutrients, including potassium, copper, vitamin C and polyphenols.

Cherries also support workout recovery, help fight free radicals and even help you sleep better, among other benefits.

Plus, they’re just as great frozen as they are fresh. Who knew this little fruit was so good for you? Read on to learn the health benefits of cherries, plus delicious recipes to put cherries to work.

Instead of reaching for a potassium-packed banana to balance your electrolytes and eliminate muscle cramps after a run, grab two handfuls (1 1/2 cups) of cherries to get the same boost of potassium. Just 1 cup of cherries delivers more copper than Chinook salmon, more than half the magnesium of raw spinach and the vitamin C of half a lemon.

In addition to satiating fiber, cherries are also loaded with polyphenols, melatonin, carotenoids and vitamins E and C. These vitamins and nutrients have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers that reduce many plasma serum levels (blood markers) for oxidative stress and inflammation.

6 Health Benefits of Cherries

1. Speed up Exercise Recovery Looking for a boost to speed recovery after your workout? Pass the cherries — specifically, tart cherries.

Research shows that tart cherry juice helps reduce sore muscles and supports recovery after workouts.

2. Support a Health Inflammation Response Cherries contain polyphenols, micronutrients that give many fruits and vegetables their color and make those foods powerful antioxidants. One type of polyphenol, anthocyanin, which gives dark cherries their color, has been found to suppress the body’s release of inflammatory proteins that causes pain and soreness.

3. Help your body fight Free Radicals Cherries pack a powerful antioxi-

dant punch. You want antioxidants in your diet to help fight free Melinda radicals, which your cells produce when they use energy or get exposed to oxidative stress. Too many free radicals can damage cells and contribute to inflammation. Antioxidants help support a healthy inflammation and immune response.

4. Help you Sleep Better Want more restful sleep? Add cherry juice to your diet. Cherries contain melatonin, a hormone that synchronizes your body’s adrenal and digestive systems, balancing your circadian rhythms and helping your body regulate sleep.

5. Support Mood Cherries can have the same relaxing effect as a turkey dinner. The tryptophan in turkey is an essential player in your body’s process of making serotonin, a neurotransmitter that can help improve your mood and memory.

Cherries contain both tryptophan and serotonin, giving them extra power to balance brain function and your overall mental health.

6. Help Balance Blood Sugar Of all fruits, cherries rank as one of the lowest fruits on the glycemic index and in glycemic load. Cherries have a glycemic index of 22, which will raise your blood sugar about half that of an apple or orange. In comparison, pure sugar ranks at 100. This means cherries won’t spike your blood sugar as much as other fruits. Maintaining stable blood sugar is a lifestyle factor that reduces your risk of insulin resistance, the precursor to diabetes.

I hope you enjoyed this article! So the next time you are at Costco picking out a frozen fruit to put into your smoothies, yogurt, and oatmeal (or buckwheat), pick up the cherries and also google a recipe to make a small cherry juice to drink before bed!

liqueur became a thing of the past.

I love to bake pies, so I would purchase cherries at the grocery store for that purpose, but during last few years I had access to fresh tart cherries from a local tree. The tree was late in blooming this year and when it was to be picked, I was too busy harvesting the garden weeds so the produce would not be choked to death. Then I remembered the liqueur recipe and I could quickly remove stems, rinse the cherries, and make my forgotten Liqueur.

The recipe is quite easy, but this is not pie cherry (tart) season, so save this recipe and make it in July to harvest no sooner than October. Let it become your new holiday toast!

I never tried to use canned or frozen tart cherries, so I do not know if it will taste the same.

• 2-gallon glass jar • 2 quarts of Ever Clear Alcohol • Tart cherries to fill the jar, washed, stemmed, and pitted • 4 pounds granulated sugar Wash and dry the tart (pie) cherries Fill jar ¼ with cherries, cover with sugar, cover with alcohol, continue until about two inches from the top, or when you run out of your supplies.

Do not shake. Store in a dark closet for at least three months.

After the time you decide to store your new drink, fill smaller jars with your liqueur and place the fruit into other jars. I have a batch for this Thanksgiving and will toast HAPPINESS AND HEALTH to all the Villager readers. Try one of these new recipes and if you would like to reach out to me with feedback, I am at rubyrockstherock@gmail.com
