“Colorado is now eighth in the nation in biotechnology” – Afshin Safavi, Ph.D.

5800 S. Quebec Street

BY FREDA MIKLIN STAFF WRITER

Afshin Safavi, Ph.D., is a biological scientist and serial entrepreneur who recently completed a four-year term on the Cherry Hills Village City Council.

His newest project is Colorado Health & Tech Centers (CHTC), which he envisions as eventually having ten locations around the state where primary care medi-

cine, biotechnology research, biomanufacturing, and technology/artificial intelligence (AI) co-exist in a synergistic and collaborative workspace.

Safavi told The Villager, “Primary care doctors have great ideas because they see patients every day. Working close by researchers will lead to innovations in the areas of medicine where they are most needed.” He believes the I-25 corridor, in proximity to hospitals, is the optimal location for CHTC sites.

Safavi also believes that post-COVID, “People don’t

want to live far away from their work sites and companies are willing to have two or three locations to attract the best talent. Attracting and retaining top talent is one of the biggest challenges employers face. That is why I plan to build smaller campuses all around Colorado.”

He continued, “With minimal advertising, Colorado is now eighth in the nation in biotechnology,” which he explained is, “the use of biologics, which he told us includes human cells, animal cells, bacteria, viruses,

and yeast, and technology to create the next generation of medicine.”

Safavi first purchased five locations, including some buildings and some raw land, in Denver, Aurora (near Fitzsimmons Innovation Campus), and Colorado Springs, where he planned to build the first CHTC locations. Before he got started, he heard about a four-story, vacant 164,000-square foot Class-A building in Greenwood Village that was headed to auction. Located on 6.24 acres at 5800 S. Quebec Street, it

was built in 1980 and renovated in 1998. The owners had purchased it in 2013 for $27 million. Safavi thought the building might be a great location for CHTC. When the auction did not produce a buyer, he worked with the selling broker and eventually acquired the property for the unexpected price of $5 million.

It was only after he bought the building, Safavi told us, he found out that, in addition to the 700 parking spots that Continued on page 5

2023 Lexus 990A Is All-Electric Luxury I’m slowly learning about all-electric vehicles. So far, I’ve found that they’re very fast, very economical, and very hard to find an efficient charging station when badly needed. In simple English… I like the electric car concept, but locating charging stations that are open, working, and not busy is challenging.

Recently, driving a super deluxe Lexus 990A luxury allwheel drive to the mountains and arriving at a hotel in Silverthorne all the charging stations were full; some with cars not charging but parked in the spaces.

Fortunately, I was able to establish a charging station and the luxury Lexus dash informed me it would take nine hours to fully charge. That was late at night, so

by the next morning the car was fully charged with 218 miles of mileage that was the maximum distance that this luxury Lexus could travel from charging station to charging station.

Leaving, the next morning it is uphill to the top of Vail pass and 40 kw disappeared. I learned that the air conditioning unit demanded about 25 percent of the kw power, add headlights and the mileage drops significantly.

Factory statistics from Lexus indi-

cated 95 MPGs at the rate of 102 miles in the city and 87 highway/ per 100 miles. I think this is on flat land without headlights and air conditioning.

I was able to charge the Lexus at the Lodge Hotel on a Porsche charging station in the hotel basement that was fast and inexpensive.

Leaving Vail for the return to the city the mileage was 179 and dropped to 88 at home arrival.

Once on E470 the car seemed to be thirsty for electrical juice and I turned off the air-conditioning unit.

What did I learn; all-electric cars are very fast with instant acceleration. The cars are ahead of the necessary support system to make them versatile for longer drives. The Lexus 990A at a man-

By H. Throttle

ufacturer’s suggested retail price of $64,000 seems reasonable for such a sleek design, plush velvet interior, and a bevy of options.

While the concept of all-electric seems practical, the major roadblock at this moment is lack of uniform charging stations and locations. Tourists, or even a traveler to Grand Junction, could not make the trip on one full charge.

What tourist or traveler wishes to spend nine-hours charging the vehicle, or even four-hours?

The vehicle is outstanding, the handling, drive, acceleration, assessorial, LED lights, and navigation, are exceptional. Just don’t venture too far from home as mountain drives use more KWs.

Emerald Ash Borer identified and confirmed in Arapahoe County SUBMITTED BY THE CITY OF CENTENNIAL

Arapahoe County has identified its first case of Emerald Ash Borer, an invasive insect that infests and kills North American species of ash trees. The case was detected in a small area in northeast Littleton and was confirmed

by Arapahoe County agencies, Colorado State University Extension specialists, and experts from surrounding municipalities.

Emerald Ash Borer was first discovered in Colorado in Boulder County in 2013. Since then, the destructive wood-boring beetles have been found in Broomfield, Larimer, Erie and Thornton. Littleton has not had a confirmed case of EAB until this June. The town of Carbondale also recently reported a confirmed case discovered on June 16.

“EAB is the most destructive insect pest in trees that we have ever seen in North America.

Homeowners and HOAs with ash trees will eventually have a significant financial decision to make whether they choose to treat their ash trees with insecticides or remove them,” says Lisa Mason, Horticulture Specialist and Entomologist at Colorado State University Extension in Arapahoe County.

Emerald Ash Borer beetles target – and eventually kill – North American ash tree species including green and white varieties, and their cultivars such as “autumn purple ash,” a popular white ash variety in Colorado. On average, 15% of urban trees are ash trees.

“An unhealthy ash tree doesn’t mean it has EAB,” said Mason. “Look for the distinctive D-shaped exit holes, bark splits and S-shaped tunnels called galleries underneath the bark, gradual canopy thinning and dieback, abnormal shoots of growth, smaller than normal leaves, and heavy woodpecker activity.”

Residents can take steps to protect healthy ash trees, but certain options such as insecticide treatments depend on the size and health of each tree. Since Emerald Ash Borer kills trees over a period of several years, trees that are not candidates for insecticide treatments will eventually need to be removed. Residents should follow available guidelines for properly disposing of any infested wood.

“EAB has spread slower than expected in Colorado giving

people time to make the right decision,” according to Mason.

“One study showed that healthy ash trees can be treated with emamectin benzoate successfully after EAB has infested the tree as

long as the tree hasn’t lost more than approximately 30% of the canopy.”

Arapahoe County municipalities are currently prioritizing ash tree insecticide treatment and

removal. Other services and community programs may be available to residents to help subsidize the costs of treatment or removal and to mitigate the impacts of Emerald Ash Borer on private

A very attractive feature on the 990A is a solid glass roof that changed shades with a control touch from clear, to opaque. Another feature is a very large center color screen. The air conditioning works well, and the Mark Levinson sound system is magic in the deluxe interior cabin.

Overall, this is an outstanding vehicle with assembly in Toyota, Aichi, Japan with “Ether” paint and quality assembly. The challenge is the vehicle is better than the supporting energy source.

No doubt, in months and years to come, charging stations will be as abundant as present service stations.

For now, check out the hybrid crossovers that have the 2.5L engines, and Lithium battery support leading up to 50 mpg and selfcharging.

No worries, and no waiting. property.

the grocery stores, or people just wanting to get out of the house after several years of staying home? My opinion would be a little of both.

Because of Covid, people did stay home, and as a result saved some money.

This has resulted in a rising stock market, busy airlines, and cruises. The travel industry has been bustling and people are spanning the globe once again. A very good thing for young and old. No matter what the Federal Reserve does, labor is not going to decrease in cost. The price of energy is not going to drop as America is no longer energy efficient as in the Trump years. If labor and energy rise, the cost of producing food must increase with supply and demand.

The high cost of water, fuel, and transportation increase food costs. It feels good to be less concerned about Covid, even though some folks are playing the blame game on how it was handled. In my opinion, it was handled pretty good, starting with President Trump moving rapidly on producing vaccines. President Biden moved fast on the vaccine distribution and issuing financial aid in many areas. Bottom line is that most of us survived, but over one million Americans perished from the epidemic. We will never know for sure where it came from. The message it sent is that we need to have our medicines developed and manufactured here in America. No doubt the intense workload and stress

California here I come – For the US Open When one thinks of attending a major sporting event, like the Super Bowl or World Series, one imagines sitting in an arena or stadium for a few hours, watching the entire contest at once.

When it comes to golf tournaments or championships, the arena is spread over hundreds of acres with no single spot to see all the action at once.

We had the great opportunity to attend the US Open golf championship a few weeks ago in Los Angeles and I will recount some of the highlights.

The US Open is played on a different course every year, unlike the Masters which is always played on the same course. This year the Open was at the Los Angeles Country Club. The club has two 18-hole courses, one for the tournament, and the other used for foot traffic and parking.

Tickets for the US Open are

pricey but readily available, compared to the Masters which operates via a lottery system. We opted for higher end tickets which included a hosBY BRIAN C. JOONDEPH pitality venue located along the 14th fairway, with a lavish spread of food and beverages.

One can park at a particular hole – tee, fairway, or green – and there are often bleachers set up at these locations. Or one can follow a particular player or pairing from hole to hole. Or as we did, a combination of both, eventually settling in the hospitality tent to watch the final parings play through on Saturday afternoon.

Walking the course allowed us to see the Playboy Mansion and Lionel Ritchie’s behemoth home, both along the course.

As golf is not played under a domed stadium, weather can be a factor – wet or dry, hot or cool, sunny or cloudy. Sunscreen is a must as is good walking footwear.

We walked about 10 miles or 20,000 steps, according to my watch.

Thursday and Friday there are twice the number of players, playing in threesomes. Only half make the cut to the weekend where they then play in pairs. Most of the big-name players were there and depending on your vantage point, you can get quite close to them as they walk by.

Players are focused on the task at hand, not chatting with fans or signing autographs. With huge prestige and prize money on the line, the pressure on the players is immense.

For average golfers, attending such a tournament is one big golf lesson, watching the best golfers in the world play a challenging course, getting themselves out of the same trouble that weekend golfers like me get into. But the pros get into trouble far less often and are much better at getting back in the game compared to us weekend warriors.

Portable phone chargers are

on our doctors, nurses, and hospitals have made them better trained, equipped, and experienced to deal with the trauma of an epidemic. Kudos to these medical professionals and to the senior citizen residences who did their best to care for patients and protect them, as much as possible, from the epidemic that targeted seniors.

Inflation will be with us for a long time in some areas. The labor shortage will continue, especially in nursing, pilots, military recruitment, law enforcement and teaching.

The best way to handle student loan debts is to offer special deals for these positions. The next president should lower the interest rates on these student loans. Students should not be penalized with high interest for paying for their educations.

Forgiveness no, but interest lowered with special skill incentives to wipe out the debts. The first GOP debate for presidential candidates is August 14, 2023; so here we go again. I hope that the candidates can discuss something besides drugs in the White House and Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Let’s leave the garbage out and establish legal immigration so people won’t have to wade a river to reach America.

Lastly, we need to spend, whatever it takes, to end crime and homelessness on the streets of our cities. We must stop the drug scourge to save our nation.

The next elected leader will have a tough job. available as phone batteries rapidly drain as we take photos and videos. Several merchandise stores dot the course so everyone can come home with a US Open hat or shirt.

And of course, there is Los Angeles and Malibu, which we visited on Sunday and Monday, a nice complement to a day on the golf links.

For golfers, this is a bucket list item and as the Open is at a different spot each year, there will always be a convenient course to get to. For non-golfers, it will be an extremely fun eye-opening introduction to golf, as it was for my traveling buddy.

Don’t forget the myriad other tournaments including the Women’s US Open and amateur and seniors opens. Some even come to metro Denver courses.

And one of this year’s highlights was a local kid, Wyndham Clark, winning the US Open, and we were there watching it. For a different type of vacation, consider attending a future US Open golf championship.

were on the property, he also owns 400 of the 1,000 parking places in the building next door as a result of an agreement between prior property owners.

We walked through the building as Safavi explained his vision for the property. He sees the first floor as a perfect location for primary care and/or an outpatient surgical center. He told us hospitals had already reached out to him about the possibility of using it for day surgery.

On the second floor, he envisions biotechnology research, Safavi told us, as well as potential “small-scale manufacturing of medicines.”

The third floor will house technology and the fourth, which has mountain views, will house “entities that will facilitate innovation, like patent lawyers, CFOs, part-time CEOs, and consultants in the medical field.”

Financially, Safavi is in a strong position, having purchased the property at such a deep discount. As a result, he told us, “As soon as one floor is fully rented, the building will pay for itself. When two floors are occupied, we will be cash positive, and I will be moving on to building additional campuses of CHTC.” Standing in the building, we had a direct view of one of the three towers of The Triad development in Orchard Station. Noting that the 22-acre complex is in receivership, Safavi wondered

aloud if sometime in the future he might acquire that property, as well, to expand CHTC in Greenwood Village since, he told us, he was already talking to ten potential tenants, thus he might be ready to expand relatively soon.

Safavi was effusive about being in Greenwood Village, telling us, “I had planned to start CHTC in Aurora and Denver but we are here now and I could not have dreamed of a better location.

There are so many retired CEOs and CFOs in Greenwood Village.

This will become our headquarters.”

Safavi uses LinkedIn to post updates about the building and told us he has 600 to 6,000 views every day. “Every large pharma worldwide knows about us,” he shared.

Closing the loop, he shared that he has already connected with GV Mayor George Lantz and the South Metro Denver Chamber and looks forward to working with GV and the Chamber as he brings his vision of Colorado Health & Tech Centers to life.

According to his LinkedIn page, Dr. Safavi holds a B.S. in biochemistry from UCLA and a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of Kentucky. He also completed postdoctoral studies in biochemistry and molecular biology at Emory University.

Theater Night a Huge Success!

That's a Wrap!

We are thrilled to announce the incredible success of the Nourish Meals on Wheels Theater Night, which raised nearly $117,000.

This achievement is testament to the unwavering support from our community, the dedication of our passionate volunteers, and the incredible generosity of our sponsors.

The night was filled with warmth and camaraderie, as long-time friends gathered to forge new connections. Our remarkable restaurant partners donated culinary creations that tantalized our taste buds. Attendees sipped crisp glasses of wine and buzzed with excitement while purchasing last-minute raffle tickets. Who would be the lucky winner of an unforgettable dinner for six with our renowned Chef Geoff? Who would proudly display the

beautifully framed and autographed photo of the sensational Nikola Jokić?

Before the captivating melodies of Memphis filled the air, guests were treated to a heartwarming video, showcasing the incredible work Nourish is doing in our community.

The culmination of the night arrived with an enthralling tale of Huey, a young white radio DJ, whose love for exceptional music transcended racial barriers and permeated the airwaves.

The extraordinary talent of the cast unified the audience, reminding us of the power of music and love.

We extend our deepest appreciation to every single person who played a role in making this night a success. Whether you purchased a raffle ticket, attended the event, volunteered your time, or were a generous sponsor, we thank you for making a profound impact on the lives of seniors and homebound adults!

Truly Enriching Lives

Cecelia recently shared her sister’s, story with us. Prescilla’s husband recently passed away, and in her overwhelming grief she was not eating consistently.

This lack of proper nutrition affected her health in many negative ways, causing her family great concern. After just one month of receiving meals Prescilla and Cecelia from Nourish, her family saw a significant improvement in her health and mood.

This would not have been possible without the support of our community, volunteers, and the extraordinary generosity of our sponsors.

Cecelia writes, "You have saved my sister's life by introducing delicious daily nutrition. Your knock on the door and food has been a blessing beyond words. I can finally hear the sound of hope and gratitude in her voice when she talks about both the meals and the incredible volunteers who deliver them."

ABOUT NOURISH MEALS ON WHEELS Last year, Nourish Meals on Wheels delivered 190,000 meals to seniors and homebound adults. While this statistic is impressive on its own, with every nutritious meal delivered, we also promote dignity, well-being, and independence.

MORE THAN A MEAL We deliver moments of genuine connection. Our volunteer drivers arrive at the door with more than great food. They pay attention to the details, like a birthday or a beloved pet, and recognize the little things—an untouched meal, an unanswered door, or a troublesome cough.

Isolation is dissolved with the ring of each doorbell and our volunteer’s familiar smile.

These visits provide a lifeline to the community, offering a sense of security and comfort, knowing that someone genuinely cares and is there to check on them.

We celebrate our clients’ birthdays with cake, heartfelt cards, and small gifts, ensuring that milestones are remembered. On holidays, we deliver special meals, complete with themed tray favors, bringing a sense of joy and festivity to their homes.

During our 12 Days of Giving in December, our clients receive individually wrapped gifts alongside their daily meals, spreading cheer and brightening their spirits.

Thank You Theater Night Sponsors!

to the Editor Arapahoe County is getting ready to pile on Yes, it is true, Arapahoe County is preparing to place a ballot measure on the ballot to De-Bruce the county.

While our voters are currently being manipulated by the state’s Proposition HH ballot language, Arapahoe County wants to get in on the scheme. They want to create some crafty ballot language of their own. That’s what I call “Piling On.” The Taxpayer Bill of Rights has served Colorado and Arapahoe County Government well for over thirty years.

Establishing an adequate governmental budget is all about setting the correct priorities. The only thing that makes this challenging is that sometimes the state and federal governments take our tax dollars and then promise to give some of it back if we follow their priorities.

I know a little something about this subject matter. I served as an Arapahoe County Commissioner for twelve years.

Ten of those twelve years I was on the county’s Executive Budget Committee.

Prior to that I spent four years on the County’s Citizen’s Budget Committee. (It is my understanding that this committee was eliminated by the Commissioners because they were asking too many tough questions. They were also insisting that tough decisions be made by the Commissioners. Nothing like giving the citizens a voice in the budget process by taking away their microphone.)

I wonder if the Commissioners really thought this issue through. Many citizens are already concerned about their high property assessment values. (A concern not shared by the Governor, or he would

call for a special session and lower our assessment ratios.) Many senior citizens are wondering if they can afford their homes going forward. Many young people are wondering if they can afford rent on their apartments going forward.

The Arapahoe County Commissioners decided to pile on by making these same people pay higher taxes by raising county property taxes. (I can’t wait for one of the Commissioners to text me explaining that renters don’t pay property taxes.

Yes, but the landlords the majority party in the legislature has been abusing over the past five years do pay property taxes.

These same landlords will pass this increase onto their renters.)

I was proud in 2016 to leave Arapahoe County in very good financial condition. At the same time, the bond rating agencies raised the county’s bond rating. It took a lot of hard work from my colleagues and myself practicing fiscal responsibility back then. We had a rule of thumb - when our citizens’ personal budgets are being squeezed and they are hurting don’t pile on by raising taxes.

Contact the Arapahoe County Commissioners and ask them to re-consider their thoughts about De-Brucing the county.

Rod Bockenfeld is a state legislator who represents eastern Arapahoe County. He previously served three terms as an Arapahoe County Commissioner and currently sits on Colorado’s Joint Budget and House Appropriations Committees. Contact him at rod@bockenfeld.com.

Should Arapahoe County De-Bruce; 2 different viewpoints Arapahoe County’s fiscal reality

If you’re an Arapahoe County resident and you haven’t heard about our funding challenges, you soon will. That’s because as your elected leaders, we are prioritizing the transparency of our fiscal reality and the likely impacts it will have on you and your family. Decades of strain on current revenues – coupled with historic growth and unprecedented circumstances over the last three years - put immense pressure on our budget, requiring us to reevaluate funding priorities. Now is the time to stabilize our funding sources and modernize our finances.

Our long record of responsible budget management and good stewardship helped us consistently balance our budget.

But it also meant deferring maintenance on roads and facilities, as well as limiting public safety investments. In fact, not taking steps to modernize our finances sooner also meant the county couldn’t provide the community services we should or provide the level of service our residents expect. In the past 20 years, the cost to provide services has increased dramatically, yet we have not asked for a voter-approved funding increase other than a quarter-cent sales tax that maintains our open spaces.

We were fortunate to use one-time emergency funding from the American Rescue Plan Act to provide critical services, such as piloting homelessness programs, absorbing inflationary cost increases, and fixing infrastructure issues. That funding ends in 2025, but the demand for these essential services remains. With as many as 120,000 new residents projected to move into the County by 2030, the fiscal constraints will only expand.

a top priority and the demand for these services is skyrocketing. This includes providing crucial support to families and individuals experiencing housing and food insecurity, and programs that help create pathways out of poverty and provide for greater self-sufficiency.

The stark reality is that without new sources of revenue, the Board will be forced to eliminate or reduce these vital county services. Neighboring counties that have de-Bruced and have additional funding sources such as sales taxes have been better able to keep pace with necessary capital improvements, growth, and expenses.

We will continue working toward our goal of making Arapahoe County the number one place to live and raise a family. But our success depends on a solid partnership with County residents and elected officials.

We hope you’ll join us to help address these real challenges.

- The Arapahoe County Board of County Commissioners – Carrie Warren-Gully, Jessica Campbell-Swanson, Jeff Baker, Leslie Summey and Bill L. Holen

The County has significant infrastructure, public safety and general service needs, and funding has not kept pace with inflation or community expectations. For example: • Our five-year infrastructure action plan – designed to maintain existing assets – is historically underfunded by $15 million annually. Making things worse is the County’s backlog of repairs for vital infrastructure and facilities that total over $500 million. This consistent underfunding means these assets have declined, while the cost to repair them escalates considerably the longer they are delayed.

• The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is a well-respected, three-time accredited organization that provides a wide range of community services. But the cost to attract, retain, and train law enforcement officers continues to rise – alongside the cost of providing law enforcement services themselves.

• Caring for the most vulnerable in our community—children and older adults—is

Tips and tools for coping with vision loss Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good resources for seniors with vision loss? My husband was recently diagnosed with macular degeneration, which has deteriorated his central vision, and he’s become very discouraged.

Worried Wife

Dear Worried, I’m very sorry to hear about your husband’s eye condition. Unfortunately, there are about 20 million Americans living with macular degeneration today.

Over time, this progressive disease can rob people of their central vision, making everyday tasks like driving a car, reading a magazine or watching television extremely challenging. Here are some tips and resources that can help.

Low Vision Help

If your husband hasn’t already done so, he needs to see

a low-vision specialist for a comprehensive examination.

Low-vision specialists are ophthalmologist or optometrist with additional credentials or specialization in low vision testing, diagnosis, and treatment.

A low vision exam, which is much different from a typical eye exam, will explore how your husband’s eye condition is affecting his day-to-day life, how he’s adapting emotionally and prescribe solutions to help him regain as much day-today functioning as possible.

Your next step is to get your husband to a nearby vision rehabilitation service.

These services, which are run by state or nonprofit organizations, or private eye care clinics, help people with all types of uncorrectable vision impairments. Most state and nonprofit services are free or Dear Readers,

What is the death benefit and other features of variable annuities?

BY DONALD PETERSON

A common feature of variable annuities is the death benefit. If you die, a person you select as a beneficiary (such as your spouse or child) will receive the greater of (1) all the money in your account, or (2) some guaranteed

low-cost, while private clinics typically charge a fee or may accept Medicare.

While vision rehabilitation does not restore lost sight, it does help people maximize their existing sight, or, if they have no vision, it can equip them with techniques and tools to help them maintain an independent lifestyle.

Services include counseling, along with training on how to perform daily living tasks with low vision, and how to use visual and adaptive devices and assistive technologies that can help improve quality of life.

They also offer guidance for adapting your home that will make it safer and easier for your husband to maneuver and can help him locate low-vision support groups.

Some agencies will even send their specialist out to work

minimum (such as all purchase payments minus prior withdrawals).

Some variable annuities allow you to choose a “stepped up” death benefit. Under this feature, your guaranteed minimum death benefit may be based on a greater amount than purchase payments minus withdrawals. For example, the guaranteed minimum might be your account value as of a specified date, which may be greater than purchase payments minus withdrawals if the underlying investment options have performed well. The purpose of a stepped-up death benefit is to “lock-in” your investment performance and prevent a later decline in the value of your account from eroding the amount that you expect to leave to your heirs.

This feature carries a charge, however, that will reduce your account value.

Variable annuities sometimes offer other optional features, which also have extra charges.

One common feature, the guaranteed minimum income benefit, guarantees a particular minimum level of annuity payments, even if you do not have enough money in your account (perhaps because of investment losses) to support that level of payments.

Other features may include longterm care insurance, which pays for home health care or nursing home care, if you become seriously ill.

Caution: You will pay for each benefit provided by your variable annuity. Be sure you understand the charges. Consider whether you can buy the benefit more cheaply as part of the variable annuity or separately (such as through a long-term care insurance policy).

Tip: You may want to consider the financial strength of the insurance company that sponsors

with him in the comfort of your own home.

To find a vision rehabilitation service near you ask your husband’s eye doctor for a referral, or you can locate services yourself by calling the American Printing House (APH) Connect Center at 800232-5463.

Online Tools

Another convenient place to get help for your husband is online at VisionAware (VisionAware.org). This free website that’s part of the APH Connect Center is specifically designed for older adults new to vision loss.

It provides information on eye diseases and disorders, along with dozens of practical tips, information and instructional videos on living with vision loss. These include concepts for adapting your home to make it easier to navigate, techniques for traveling safely outside the home, and various tips on how to any variable annuity you are considering buying. This can affect the company’s ability to pay any benefits that are greater than the value of your account in mutual fund investment options, such as a death benefit, guaranteed minimum income benefit, long-term care benefit, or amounts you have allocated to a fixed account investment option.

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

manage things like finances, medications, and other tasks such as cooking, cleaning, grooming, reading, writing, doing hobbies and more.

VisionAware also provides a comprehensive list of more than 2,000 low vision agencies and organizations across the country that’s searchable by state or category.

Another terrific low vision resource that’s available to your husband is Hadley (Hadley.edu), which is a nonprofit organization and partner of the National Eye Institute and the National Eye Health Education Program.

Hadley offers online discussion groups, audio podcasts and dozens of free online workshop videos to help empower the blind and visually impaired. With Hadley, your husband will learn new ways to do things that have become more difficult due to his vision loss and connect him with a network of peers who understand what he’s going through.

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.

Wooten, not Gradishar, state’s most likely pick Randy Gradishar, anchor of the Broncos’ “Orange Crush” defense of the late ‘70s, is again under consideration for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

And, agree everyone in these parts, it’s past time he’s voted into that shrine at the birthplace of the National Football League.

Besides leading Denver to its first Super Bowl appearance following the 1977 season, the former twotime All-American at Ohio State was a seven-time Pro Bowl selection, twice a first-team All-Pro, and the 1978 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

To this day he is the Broncos’ all-time leading tackler with 2,049.

A Bronco for 10 seasons, Gradishar played his last three for the late Dan Reeves, who once said: “He was as good a linebacker as I have ever been around, and I have been around some great ones.”

Years before that, his college coach, the legendary Woody Hayes, had called him, “the finest linebacker I ever coached.”

Despite such high praise and his outstanding list of accomplishments and honors, however, the closest Gradishar has come in voting for induction in Canton was reaching the final 10 in 2003.

Is another disappointment in the making?

Gradishar is part of a daunting field of “Seniors” semifinalists, former players whose careers ended before 1998. (Among them is Chris Hinton, the seven-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman who was the centerpiece in the trade that brought John Elway to Denver before the 1983 season.) Twenty-five in all, their credits fill pages.

Deserving as he is, Gradishar isn’t the only Canton candidate with Colorado ties this time around.

Among 29 semifinalists in the Coach/Contributor category are former Broncos head coaches Reeves and Mike Shanahan, renowned offensive line coach Alex Gibbs, also deceased, and former University of Colorado star John Wooten, a name from the distant past.

Accomplishments as a player are not supposed to influence this choice, but it’s hard to ignore the totality of Reeves’ 38-year career in the NFL. He participated in nine Super Bowls as either a

player, assistant coach or head coach.

Including Denver from 1981 to 1992, Reeves was a head coach for 23 seasons, his time with the Broncos followed by four years with the New York Giants then seven in Atlanta.

He coached the Broncos to three Super Bowls in four seasons, albeit all losses.

He’s also one of only nine NFL head coaches to win 200 games (201-174-2), and he’s tied with the late Marv Levy for most playoff victories with 11.

As a player, Reeves is best remembered for his 50-yard touchdown pass to Lance Rentzel in the so-called “Ice Bowl” NFC championship game on New Year’s Eve of 1967 in frigid Green Bay. He played eight seasons, all for Dallas, which signed him as an undrafted free agent.

Both Reeves and Shanahan are in the Broncos Ring of Fame. Shanahan coached the Broncos from 1995 through 2008, winning back-to-back Super Bowls in 1998-99 and finishing with a 138-86 record in 14 seasons. His overall head coaching record, including two seasons with the Raiders and four in Washington, is 170-138.

But if Colorado is to have an inductee this year, the most likely choice is Wooten.

The second African-American varsity football player in CU history, Wooten was an American Football Coaches

Association All-America as a senior in 1959.

A member of CU’s All-Century Team, selected in 1989 to mark the Buffs’ first 100 years of intercollegiate football, Wooten played nine seasons with the Cleveland Browns, serving as one of legendary Jim Brown’s leading blockers for seven of them.

Those credentials notwithstanding, if Wooten goes into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, it will be for his 28 years as an executive with Dallas, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and, most of all, for being the founder and first chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance (FPA).

Named for Fritz Pollard, the NFL’s first African-American head coach, the FPA is an advocacy group that works with the NFL regarding minority hiring in coaching, scouting and front office positions.

Since its founding in 2003, Wooten’s creation has been instrumental in the hiring of 14 head coaches and 12 general managers of color.

Beginning in 2007, it has seen 10 NFL teams reach the Super Bowl with either a head coach or general manager of color.

We’ll find out which Coach/Contributor is Canton-bound on August 15, and three “Seniors” will be announced a week later.

GV says no to composting due to low resident response on website

In the July 2023 issue of its monthly newsletter sent to all the city’s households, Greenwood Village announced, “Based on feedback received from the community, the City will not be pursuing providing a composting service.” They thanked “all 70 residents who provided their input and ideas regarding residential composting through Village Voices, the City’s online engagement platform, during the input period from March 3 to May 2, 2023.”

For those who are interested in composting, “Information and resources will be available at Greenwood Village Day on July 29 from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at Village Greens Park.”

Although the newsletter did not say why the decision was made, and it has not been discussed at any public meeting of the city council, GV told The Villager, “There was just not enough support for Council to establish a program at this time,” but they “are committed to more community education on this topic in the future.”

One hundred percent of the 68 responses left on VillageVoices.com

by GV residents to the question of whether they want the city to provide composting service comments contained the answer “yes.”

They included: • “STRONGLY SUPPORT GV making composting available.”

• “I strongly support a composting service in GV! I think it would be a great service to have in our community.”

• “I support Greenwood Village providing a weekly compost pick up service.”

• “Fully Support Composting! So many items that go in the trash can be composted. If it’s an option, why not provide it for residents?”

• “Composting in GV is essential to eliminating organic materials from the landfill, which contributes greatly to greenhouse gas.”

• “I strongly support having a composting service provided in Greenwood Village.

We had it when we lived in

Food scraps are composted all over the world.

Denver, and so much less waste.”

• “Yes, we need a composting service, reduce trash and dumping into landfills.”

• “Yes! We would support and utilize residential composting!”

• “Absolutely GV ought to offer composting. We’re plagued with more and more consumer waste every year—let’s divert what we can responsibly.”

The discussion about composting in GV started in earnest when a GV resident, Julia Pace, came to the council a year

ago, as she was about to enter West Middle School, and told her elected officials, “I love the environment. I’ve lived in Greenwood Village my whole life.

I’m here tonight to collaborate with you to bring composting to the Greenwood Village community…

According to the U.S. Public Interest Research Group…Americans land-filled or incinerated over 15,000,000 tons of compostable waste in 2015.” She also shared that she had personally gotten 50 families in her GV neighborhood to sign up and begin composting just by explaining how it works and its benefits. After pointing to the city’s robust financial reserves, she said, “As a resident of Greenwood Village, I am requesting a Call to Action.”

On January 9, 2023, the council was told by its public works director that it could 1) provide the service to all its 4,600 households that currently receive trash service, at a cost of $800,000; 2) do a pilot program, providing the service only to residents who request it;

3) identify a preferred provider and negotiate a discounted rate for residents who choose to use it; 4) provide information about composting at a booth at public events.

The council instructed the city manager to determine the level of interest in composting among city residents. www.

VillageVoices.com, the city’s public input website, open to all, was chosen as the method to do so, leading to the two-month period when residents could do so by providing a comment along with their identifying information.

At that January meeting, it was brought out by Council Member Anne Ingebretsen that GV could use the money it will receive from the state-imposed plastic bag fees to help pay for the cost of providing composting service to residents who wish to use it. She asked that the city keep track of that money once it begins to come in next year.

Based on what was determined to be lackluster response on the city’s website, the council has opted to only provide information about composting to residents at a booth at public events like Greenwood Village Day. fmiklin.villager@gmail.com
