Why Can’t We Have Nice Things?

I once had a royal blue peplum-style dress that I loved.

Don’t let the fact that I can name the style fool you into thinking I know anything about fashion. Even I can sound informed with enough internet research.

Anyway, one day I was wearing this dress when I walked into a co-worker’s office. She took one look at me and said, “That dress needs help.” In other words, it was ready for the rag bag.

I’m not telling you this story to show you how mean my coworker was because she wasn’t. She was blunt though and I owe her a thank you. If she hadn’t said anything I’d probably still be wearing the dress—if it fit.

I’m also not telling you this story to demonstrate how frugal I am, because I’m not. What I am is oblivious. The dress had gone from “appropriate for the office” to “gently worn” to “needs help” all without me noticing.

But it isn’t just that. Stereotypes of female shoppers notwithstanding, I don’t enjoy shopping for clothing.

I never pass up an opportunity to visit a bookstore or an office supply store, but I put off clothes shopping until I’m in desperate need of something. Or until a gift card I’ve been given is expiring. Or until someone tells me that my outfit “needs help.”

Consequently when I do finally venture forth I’m surprised at what new styles have shown up since the last time I shopped. I recently visited a department store while my husband and I were traveling. And you’ll never believe what I saw: my old royal blue dress. Not really. But there were many items like it, by which I mean, they needed help.

The first thing I took off the rack was a jac ket with a frayed hem. I was about to report it to the store manager. But then I noticed that all its mates had the same issue. Did the manufacturers forget to hem an entire batch? Then I saw a row of tops I would have liked very much except that the seams around the neck and sleeves didn’t appear to be finished. Did they expect the purchaser to do that?

And would we get a discount for doing it ourselves?

It turns out raw edges, unfinished hems, exposed stitching and visible construction techniques are part of a trend which the fashion

industry calls unfinished fashion. I call it robbery.

One fashion writer I found online put the justification for unfinished fashion this way: “Just as we push ourselves to embrace our imperfections, we are encouraged to question the pursuit of perfection in fashion.” I’m glad we don’t question the pursuit of perfection with other products, like pharmaceuticals and car brakes.

I prefer everything I buy to be finished. But what do I know? I’ve already established that I’m no fashion maven. I still haven’t gotten used to distressed clothing and that’s been around for a

long time. You know, jeans and other garments that look like they had a run-in with a cheese grater. It’s called “distressed” because that’s how you feel when you spend good money on brand new clothes that are already worn out. And I saw plenty of that while I was shopping too.

In the end, I didn’t buy anything. Why buy new clothes that look old when I have old clothes that look old? At least mine are finished—in both senses of the word.

About Divine Providence

ages. I learned a great deal about Jesus and ancient history over several years, absorbing the Bible verses about the scriptures. It made me a believer at an early age.

The entrance of divine providence came into my life early one morning. I had to drive seven miles to U.S. 40, named the Victory Highway, constructed after World War II that ran across America and passed through Denver to Salt Lake, and beyond. I would catch the school bus traveling from Maybell to Craig every morning. At age 15, I was driving our 1946 blue Plymouth sedan at 6:30 a.m. to catch the school bus. A few miles from home I was driving fast on a narrow one-lane dirt road up a very long hill. As I was approaching the crest of the hill, suddenly, a voice told me, “Get over” and a huge Haliburton oil field truck came flying over the top of the hill.

The truck would have killed me for sure. That was the beginning of Divine Providence Number l. No explanation, but it made me a believer that God was watching out for me. I have an angel on my shoulder still today.

I’ve had several more incidents, one recently, and I do believe that an angel watches over me. I have overcome death and injuries time and time, again. I believe that our lives are planned out for us, and we can influence our own destiny with choices that we make in our own lives. It is hard to explain, but it is not an accident that I’m publishing this newspaper and still alive today.

Many of us are mourning the death of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point, USA. His death must have been Divine Providence because the death created a martyrdom, with 100,000 people in Phoenix on Sunday at State Farm stadium, packed with those arriving early to attend the Memorial Service and an overflow crowd outside. The President, Vice President, and the entire cabinet were present for the service. Charlie is now much larger in death than he was in life before his untimely death at age 31. His wife Erica forgave his killer in a very emotional address. I’m not surprised, that’s what Christ would have wanted, and so would Charlie. That brought tears to many eyes in Arizona and around the world.

Not everyone subscribes to religion, or Divine Providence, but for all of us that do, we may find angels on our shoulders. Erica has one on her shoulder right now, it is obvious. Divine Providence has worked once again. Take it, or leave it, this is your life to live. But take it from me, there is such a thing as Divine Providence.

Chuck Marohn explains what makes for Strong Towns—it’s not what you think On September 4, Denver South (DS) held the Edge City Summit at the Inverness Denver Hotel in Englewood, where they featured nationally recognized expert on how to make cities more sustainable, Charles “Chuck” Marohn, founder and president of Strong Towns and author of “Escaping the Housing Trap: The Strong Towns Response to the Housing Crisis.”

Denver South’s region is comprised of 15,000 established businesses, including six Fortune 500 companies, and 250,000 employees, of which 72% over the age of 25 hold an associate’s degree or higher.

DS President and CEO David Worley opened the program by acknowledging the jurisdictions that are the organization’s official partners, Denver, Lone Tree, Centennial, Greenwood Village, and Arapahoe and Douglas Counties. With their support, he said, DS works to “foster a thriving region by implementing future-forward strategies that support existing businesses and attract new ones.” Their “suite of economic development services give businesses the means to tackle the complexity of today’s social and economic environment.” The second key part of DS’s mission is to “facilitate smoother movement throughout the region by enhancing connectivity and accessibility with improved transportation infrastructure,” Worley shared.

Marohn’s premise was, early American cities that were successful would start to grow, “incrementally up, incrementally out, and they would mature in place.

reduce overall maintenance costs.

He also recommends that cities create low-risk spaces where entrepreneurs can try new business ideas without risking large amounts of capital. The goal is to raise new revenues from viable new businesses in the city, and the key to supporting new businesses in getting off the ground is to have a “low entry cost” to encourage entrepreneurship.

He described a plan employed by Muskegon, WI, where they set up brightly painted storage sheds on a less-used street and rented

them to start-up entrepreneurs for $75/month, calling them “chalets.” They “invited people to come in, try out their business model in a low-stakes environment, and figure out what worked.”

Marohn reported, “The chalets were so full of life, so full of energy…Downtown Muskegon today is so full of energy…(So) is their core downtown, because a lot of people figured things out and graduated to those spaces downtown, which are now full, and full of life.”

After a fatality, residents near Belleview and Franklin ask for a traffic light to make it safer GV resident Jerry Goldberg’s wife Andie was tragically hit and killed by a car in June of last year, while out for a run, at the intersection of Belleview Avenue and Franklin Street. A group of residents from the Goldbergs’ Greenwood Pines neighborhood came to the Greenwood Village City Council on August 19, 2024, and asked the council to get a traffic light installed at that intersection, to make it safer.

Over a year later, there is no light and a plan to install one has not been adopted.

Belleview Avenue is a state highway, thus under the overall management of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). It is controlled on the north side by Cherry Hills Village and on the south side by Greenwood Village. Approval to place a new traffic light needs agreement and support from all three entities.

After the residents testified to the council, GV gathered data on traffic volumes at that intersection. Jeremy Hanak, the City’s public works’ director, told us on September 18, “The city conducted traffic counts last fall (2024), and the Belleview/Franklin intersection met the 4-hour traffic volume warrant. We had a conversation with CDOT staff, and they agreed that the warrant was satisfied, and a traffic signal can be installed.” Hanak also told us that the “very early cost estimate for a light, prior to design being completed, is $500,000.”

It is now up to the two cities, Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village, to decide next steps. First, they need to determine what their residents want.

We reached out to the mayors of both cities.

GV Mayor George Lantz said, “The City Council and I are supportive of keeping our residents safe and have worked to obtain approval from CDOT by showing this intersection meets the required warrants. A formal capital project for this traffic light has not yet been brought before City Council for approval.”

CHV Mayor Katy Brown told us, “We are aware of interest, primarily from Greenwood Village residents, in installing a light at Belleview and Franklin. Cherry Hills Village does not currently have a position on this issue. As of now, we have not heard from our residents that they want us to consider changes to that intersection. We have had a handful of people speak at Council meetings both asking for a light and asking us not to consider a light. We have also received a few emails on both sides. We have heard from approximately a dozen people in total. The perspectives are fairly evenly split and are from a very small sample of our community. From the information we have received so far, we cannot conclude that this is something our community wants us to consider. We are sensitive to the concerns about safety and did ask Greenwood Village if they would like to reopen consideration of a pedestrian underpass at Little Dry Creek.”

Former GV City Council Member Jerry Presley, who no longer lives in the city but maintains friendships there, has teamed up with Jerry Goldberg to determine if there is widespread support for a traffic light at the intersection of Belleview and Franklin. To that end, he has set up a website, www.AndiesLight. com, for CHV and GV residents to add their names to a petition to show their support for the project. Presley plans to present the petitions to both cities at their regular city council meetings on November 3 (Greenwood Village) and November 4 (Cherry Hills Village).

Testimony on August 19, 2024 to the GV City Council came from four residents who use the intersection to get in and out of their neighborhood.

Lori Cornette, a 31-year resident there, said, “Yesterday, at our annual picnic, one person was missing. Andie Goldberg went out for a run and never came home. She was struck by a car and killed at the intersection

of Belleview and Franklin. Her husband, Jerry, is with us tonight, along with other concerned neighbors. The major intersection of Belleview and Franklin is way overdue for a traffic light…

Every single major intersection, from Belleview and Quebec to Belleview and Broadway, has a traffic light…The most recent intersection to receive a traffic light…fairly recently…by Glenmoor Country Club, at Steele Street…they installed a light. I can only imagine that some of the words to get that traffic light installed are some of the same words we’re saying about our Belleview and Franklin intersection…We implore you to drive through this intersection and experience it for yourself…high traffic volume…any time of day, any time of night…Dangerous.

We’ve witnessed many reckless drivers in this intersection…

There are many people driving at excessive speeds along Belleview. Every time I see a pedestrian, a runner, a cyclist, I worry for their safety. The people who wanted the traffic light at Glenmoor and Steele Street faced the challenge of Greenwood Village on one side and Cherry Hills on the other side…Someone figured out how to get it done and did it. The intersection of Belleview and Franklin is way overdue for a traffic light. There’s no excuse for this major intersection to lack protection for all these people.

People walking, biking, running, the drivers that are trying to obey the law, especially. The time is now to correct this oversight before anyone else is injured or stolen from us.”

Midge Wallace, who has lived in the neighborhood for 39 years, and is the president of the Greenwood Pines HOA, told the council that a number of people from her neighborhood and the Cherryville area were present in council chambers to demonstrate that they agreed on the need for a traffic light, but would not be speaking, out of respect for the council’s request that repetitive testimony not be given. She

pointed to the horrific loss of her neighbor, Andie Goldberg, at that intersection, telling the council, “This was a tragedy for all involved…This intersection must be made safer for autos, pedestrians, and bikers. A traffic light is the solution. We understand that this is a cooperative effort between the cities of Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, and CDOT.” She also noted several specific facts that she asked be considered by those making the decision about a light.

• “There is tremendous speed on Belleview and traffic provides a short window when it is safe to make left hand turns or cross. Chances are often taken.

• There are pedestrians and bicyclists who want to access the High Line Canal or Cherry Hills Village. Currently, the only crosswalks are at University or Clarkson.

• There is no sidewalk on the south side of Belleview between University and Clarkson.

• There are no center lanes and no room to build such lanes.

• Cherry Hills Village Elementary School draws students from both north and south of Belleview. Franklin Street is a major artery to access the neighborhoods. Kids can’t walk or bike to Cherry Hills Village Elementary and can’t cross to see friends from their school.

• Parents now resort to driving across Belleview for kids to play and there have been

many near-misses, as drivers wait for the break in traffic and dash across.

• Franklin Street serves as an access point for almost 200 homes that are south of Belleview.”

94-year-old Korean War veteran Bernard Rogoff testified, “My wife and I use Franklin to get out to Belleview many times a day. In March 2015 I had CDOT visit the site early one morning. A warrant (determination that a traffic light was justified) was not issued. Since that time, a light was (installed) at Glenmoor Country Club and Steele Street…Since that time, we’ve had a young lady die… and another serious accident has just recently occurred…The only issue right now is that no one else will be injured or killed and that that intersection be made available to the hundreds of people in the Greenwood Village area where I live. So, I’m asking that you place this as a high agenda item and work fervently to get a light at Franklin and Belleview to allow access and egress.”

Mayor Lantz took the opportunity to share with Mr. Rogoff and the others in the room that, “Belleview is a state highway and is controlled by CDOT,” adding, “I’m intimately familiar with the Steele Street light and I know that took a long time to get done.” He assured the citizens, “Our staff is diligently working on this.”

After that, another Greenwood Pines resident in the room decided to speak. Bonnie Boyer Continued on page 7

explained that many people who don’t live in the neighborhood already use that intersection to avoid the one at Belleview and University when it’s busy.

On June 3, 2025, two CHV residents who live on Franklin, very close to Belleview, told their city council they are opposed to a light.

Greg Giuffra said, “It’s a very busy part of the neighborhood…We are concerned…We hope that the community and the council consider something different. I cross that road often with our kids on bikes and to run the trail…I see the police there all the time…I think a traffic light there would be a negative for the community, the charm we have. I think it would create more traffic. I think it would create more noise. It would be a detriment to this family-friendly neighborhood…We would just hate a traffic light at that intersection.” He suggested “a pedestrian walk with blinking lights,” and/or a median. He also suggested lowering the speed limit on Belleview, from the current 35 mph, noting, “People there are going 50 mph, easy.”

Paul Murray said, “I think many of our neighbors have concerns…and we know you will explore with our partners in

Greenwood Village to find the best solution that keeps everyone safe but also doesn’t impact all of us residents on Franklin or the surrounding neighborhoods with pull-through traffic or other things that may come as a byproduct of a (traffic) light. We hope that whatever the solutions are, they are presented so we all can have input and hopefully, that isn’t a light and there are other options that we can all explore.”

On September 16, 2025, CHV resident Shannon Johnson, who has lived a block away from Belleview on Franklin St for 10 years, and who “uses Belleview every day,” told the CHV council, “I have seen countless accidents at Franklin and Belleview. I’ve also seen many potential accidents. I’ve watched the speed and the amount of traffic on Belleview increase every year…I use that intersection multiple times a day and it is so dangerous. I hope that everyone can see that the safety of teenagers, older residents--it’s going to affect somebody tragically on our street or in our neighborhood…It’s only a matter of time. The safety of that intersection is more important than the property value or the traffic on Franklin or whatever people’s opposition is. I believe

safety comes first.”

Another 13-year CHV resident, Michele Belitz, told her city council that she has three children, aged 21, 19, and 17, who drive, and “All three said, Mom, that would be the best thing ever, to have a light there, because we’ve had so many incidences where we’ve almost been hit and we’ve had a really hard time getting out.” She added, “The pressure on that intersection when cars are behind you is really significant…

People driving down Belleview never adhere to the speed limit.

I think a traffic light would slow everybody down a bit…You see the kids and bicyclists trying to cross that intersection to go on the High Line Canal. It’s definitely not a safe intersection. I really support us trying to implement a traffic light there.”

13-year CHV resident Sarah Bracken said, “We always leave the neighborhood by using Franklin to get onto Belleview.

It is terrifying as an experienced driver. I can’t imagine how my daughter, as she is learning to drive in the next six months, will possibly fare. I’m starting to count how many times there is a close call, each day. As I’m inching out, there’s also a retaining wall that makes it very hard to see traffic coming

Former GV City Council Member Jerry Presley, who no longer lives in the city but maintains friendships there, has teamed up with Jerry Goldberg to determine if there is widespread support for a traffic light at the intersection of Belleview and Franklin. To that end, he has set up a website, www.AndiesLight.com, for CHV and GV residents who support the installation of a traffic light at Belleview Avenue and Franklin Street, to add their names to a petition. Presley plans to present the petitions to both cities at their regular city council meetings on November 3 (Greenwood Village) and November 4 (Cherry Hills Village). westbound. I am in and out of the neighborhood probably eight times each day, and for at least a quarter of those, it feels like a close call. It’s terrifying…Many people who have children who are my children’s ages, are now encouraging driving teenagers who are soon to be new drivers, to take Franklin northbound and exit CHV out of Quincy. That feels safer because there’s a light there, but as we all know, there’s an incredible back-up on Quincy with people moving through to get to Kent (School) in the mornings, so it’s just not a viable option to get out of CHV from our portion of the neigh-

borhood.” She noted that she and the other two CHV residents who had testified were accompanied that evening by Jerry Goldberg, the widower of the GV resident who was tragically killed at that intersection last year, while on a run.

In response to a freedom of information request, CHV City Clerk Laura Gillespie shared with The Villager 11 other letters/emails that the city has received from resident households on this topic. Other than those who testified on June 3 and September 16, five wrote to support installation of a traffic light and two were opposed.

Super Bowl-bound?

Next 6 weeks crucial DIAMOND RIDGE ESTATES, ON THE RIDGE!!

Amazing opportunity in prestigious Diamond Ridge estates overlooking Castle Rock and a panoramic Mountain View. $2,000,000

It was early August when Sean Payton made his unexpected declaration and got the attention of everyone in Broncos Country.

“This is a team,” he declared then, “capable of winning the Super Bowl.”

Coaches at any level don’t often put such high expectations on their teams.

Not in high school.

Not in college. And certainly not in the National Football League.

Such optimism coming from an NFL head coach—especially one who has coached a team to a Super Bowl victory as Payton did with the New Orleans Saints in 2009—is special reason to get excited.

Or cause for pause.

“I’ve coached six teams that I thought could win the Super Bowl,” Payton said a few days before the first preseason game. “Some went to championship games, some to the playoffs. This is my seventh team that I think has that.”

Three games into the regular season, fans are wondering about his pronouncement.

Did the esteemed head coach speak too soon?

Did he plant the seed of

complacency in his team instead of sowing hunger or setting a high bar?

After eking out a 20-12 victory over winless (through three games) Tennessee at home, Denver has lost backto-back games on last-play field goals. Already, the Broncos are in a hole, two games behind the Chargers in the AFC West.

How can this be?

I have some theories, beginning before the games counted.

Denver played three preseason games and won them all. But did the starters play enough to be sharp going into that opener against Tennessee?

Didn’t look like it to me.

Quarterback Bo Nix was mediocre in the first practice game. His three series—against the 49ers’ second-stringers—went punt, safety, field goal. He completed six of 11 passes for a measly 31 yards.

He didn’t play at all the next week against Arizona, then was better when facing New Orleans—10-for-14 for 110 yards and a touchdown in three series.

No one, least of all Payton, expressed any real concern.

Maybe they should have.

Teams reflect their coaches—assume their leaders’ persona and temperament. In the Broncos’ case, I think they’re playing like they think they’re going to the Super Bowl.

Against the Tennessee Titans, for example, a 50yard run by R.J. Harvey and a 19-yarder two plays later

by J.K. Dobbins broke open a desultory 13-12 squeaker halfway through the fourth quarter—against a team that lost its next two games by a combined 74-39.

Not to pick on Nix, but he made it a harder game by throwing two interceptions and losing a fumble—three of the Broncos’ four turnovers.

In the next game, the first loss, Nix threw another interception, one that led to a fourth-quarter field goal that set up Indy’s ultimate winner.

But the bigger culprit was the Broncos’ lack of discipline in the final minutes.

Could it be they believed their coach and got sloppy?

And then came Sunday in Los Angeles.

Ten penalties for 90 yards—four of which figured prominently in 10 L.A. points as the Chargers rallied from down 17-10, again raised the specter of an undisciplined team.

When Payton made his Super Bowl statement back in early August, he was quick to qualify it by saying it didn’t mean his team would for sure go that far, only that it “just means you have a chance.

“It has to start with quarterback. It has to start with defense. It has to start with offensive line.”

And so far, in my opinion, all three have come up short of championship caliber.

But all is not lost yet. Denver’s record is no worse than Kansas City’s, and Chiefs fans haven’t despaired.

If this team truly has the makings of a Super Bowl contender, it’s time to start playing like it.

It begins Monday night at Empower Field. The Cincinnati Bengals are without their biggest star, quarterback Joe Burrow, and were humiliated by the Vikings last Sunday, 48-10.

After a trip to Philadelphia October 5, the Broncos play New York’s two teams backto-back, then the two Texas teams, Dallas and Houston.

After three weeks, the Eagles are 3-0 but the other five are a combined 3-12.

If Denver isn’t at least 6-3 after the Texans game on November 2, you can forget about the Super Bowl this season. ________________ Denny Dressman’s 17th book, a collaboration with Kansas City artist Anthony High titled Black Baseball’s Heyday – Capturing An Era in Art and Words, will be published late this year.

money sense

Three ways trusts can help — even if you are not rich Trusts can be an efficient way to provide a financial legacy to the people and causes you care about.

Plus, there are other benefits you may not have considered, according to Bank of America.

Many people assume that trusts are only for the very wealthy.

That is not the case. “Trusts are tools that give you very specific control over how your wealth is used and protected, no matter how much money you have,” says Kevin Hindman, managing director of Retirement & Personal Wealth Solutions at Bank of America.

Broadly speaking, you can think of a trust as a sort of container that holds your assets — from investments and real estate to even a private business. With the help of a lawyer, accountant and financial advisor, you establish the rules for what happens to the assets in your trust and who will manage it, either during your lifetime or after you die, and name beneficiaries of your choosing. You can set up a trust while you are alive to provide for the management of assets in the event that you or a loved one becomes incapacitated — a valid concern given our increased life spans compared to decades ago and the prevalence of conditions like Alzheimer’s that can require costly long-term care. But trusts are also useful in helping ensure that your money is distributed as you wish after you are gone. Here are three potential benefits to consider.

1. More control. You can use a trust to set rules or conditions about when and how your beneficiaries will receive their inheritance. For instance, if you prefer that your son complete a professional degree or pursue a career rather than buy a sports car, you could establish a trust that sets a specific age or milestone before the money becomes available, such as graduating from law school or turning 30.

Trusts also can help you reach charitable goals or improve tax efficiency. By setting up a charitable trust, for example, you can support philanthropic causes now or in the future while also providing an income stream for you or your heirs and minimizing gift or other potential taxes.

2. A measure of protection.

Trusts can help ensure that your children, grandchildren, cherished friends or other loved ones receive their inheritance if you divorce or remarry. They also can help shield assets if you or your heirs are in professions that come with a high risk of litigation. By making a trust the beneficiary of your life insurance policy — or putting the policy within a trust — you can dictate how the proceeds can be spent, adding another level of protection for your heirs. A trust

can also be used to help keep a business in the family or provide for a child with special healthcare needs.

3. Investment guidance. A trust allows you to designate a professional money manager, so if loved ones are unable to handle investments, family property or a business, they may be protected from costly mistakes. The same goes for heirs who are too young to invest and manage an inheritance. For the beneficiaries of your trust, the financial stewardship you put in place can also help ease the transition to managing the assets.

Trusts are just part of a larger plan you can put in place — and adjust over time — to establish your legacy and help protect the financial future of those you love.
