because I’m worried about the direction that this country is headed…Here in Colorado, we ha e re ord inflation, re ord price of gas…We’re the number one state in auto thefts. We’re number one in Cocaine. We’ve got fentanyl killing our kids. This state is in dire straits and so is the United States, and it’s under the policies that we’ve seen put on us by the Democrats… Those are the things that I’m talking about. Michael (Senator Bennet) is talking about a bunch of nonsense…I want to be the voice of working Americans---the middle class, small business owners, single parents, those of us that work for a living, play by the rules, and pay our taxes. I’ll back our military, I’ll back our cops.

We’ve got to get more cops on the street.”

Rove described O’Dea as “one of the two best candidates we have in the country, if not the best … He’s authentic, he’s honest, he’s true, he’s approachable. He’s the kind of person people want to see in the job…

The guy he’s running against is a get-along, go-along Democrat…

We need people up there who are going to do the right thing for our ountry, first and foremost ot the right thing for our party, not

the right thing for their political career, but the right thing for our country. This is the kind of guy you have here.”

He continued, “Every Senate election, there’s a surprise election like this one…This is the model of a candidate who can beat Michael Bennet. This race is important. You saw that (Minority Leader) U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell said, “We’re in,” which means that signifi ant national finan ial support will ome to Colorado to support O’Dea. On a question about “the incredible amount of division” within the GOP, Rove said, “We can unify our party by having people who will stand up and talk about their agenda and look to the future… Joe has the ability to unify us by being focused on the future.”

In response to a question about the re ently ena ted Inflation Reduction Act, Rove said that the plan to eliminate $10,000 in college debt for some Americans was a “giveaway” that would cost between $240 billion and $750 billion, depending on whose estimates one believes, adding, “We need to be worried about the people who are trying

City Charter Amendment to protect open space will be on CHV residents’ November ballot

The idea for this ballot amendment emanated from former CHV Mayor Laura Christman, who told The Villager that she followed with great interest and participated in the discussions at the CHV City Council last year as it considered giving Quincy Farm to Natalie Anderson, Catherine Anderson’s granddaughter. Christman was surprised to discover that the city council and the mayor could do so without signifi ant iti en input and for no consideration.

She told us, “This is a community that values their parks, trails and open space more than any other asset of the city. It is the reason many people come to live here and it’s the reason many people stay here.” Christman was careful to add, “This amendment does not prohibit the city from transferring land. It merely requires the city to make its ase to the entire iti enry before it does so.”

On August 29, political consultant, policy advisor and lobbyist Karl Rove, who served as Senior Advisor and Deputy Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, came to Maggiano’s DTC to tell 60 of the party faithful why they should work hard to get Joe O’Dea elected to the U.S. Senate in November.

Dick Wadhams, who served as the Republican state party chair from 2007 until 2011, described O’Dea as, “the best candidate and the starkest contrast to the patrician, accidental senator, Michael Bennet.”

O’Dea talked about having grown up in southeast Denver with a dad who was a 30-year member of the Denver Police Department. He attended Regis High School, then became a union carpenter. Later, he went to CSU, where he got “most of (his) construction management degree” before leaving school to start a business with his wife Celeste in their basement. That business grew into CEI constructors, a heavy civil contractor that today employs 300 people.

He said, “I got into this race

Being falsely accused Growing up in New York, my parents would drive to Brooklyn, Long Island, Queens and even Manhattan to visit their siblings. What fun it was to connect and get together with my cousins who were all about the same age. Then something radically changed.

As I think and write about this, I feel my muscles tense and my eyes water even after 50 + years when I was falsely accused of taking money from my cousin’s money jar.

When I was 7 years old I was fascinated with counting coins. My brother had a coin collection and every night when my dad would come home from work, he would empty his pockets of change on the kitchen table.

My brother and I would go through the coins examining them looking for the dates they were minted. Every so often we would squeal with delight when we found a coin that added to my brother’s navy-blue cardboard coin slot in his collection. I crowned myself my brother s oin finder and helper. Every chance I had, I would look for coins to count or go through. I was fascinated with coins. One Fall weekend, we drove to Long Island to be with my father’s brother and his family.

The kids got together upstairs in the kids’ section of the house. My cousins, brother and I played Parchisi and then the four males got interested in building with the massive erector set. I was left to play by myself. I asked my cousin

if I could count and look at the coins that were in a large jar on the shelf in his room.

He told me I could. While the boys were in another room, I was lost in counting and examining. I have no idea how much time had passed before my parents were calling us to get into the car to leave. I carefully got all the coins off the floor and put them back into the money jar, placing it back on the shelf.

When we returned home, the phone rang. It was my uncle. He was telling my mom that money from my cousin’s jar was missing.

She came into my room and asked about it. I told her that I did not take any of the coins.

More phone calls came to clarify and then an outright accusation. There was at least $15.00 missing from the jar and I was the one that

had taken the money. I was hurt and outraged. My mom and dad both interrogated me separately and then went through my closet and dresser searching for missing coins.

I protested, cried and even remember screaming that I did not bring home one penny. Nothing I could say or do would make them believe me.

I felt powerless, helpless and incredibly emotional. I felt shame, frustration and anger.

The relationship with my uncle, aunt and cousins was never the same. I lost something very special in this incident… my self-respect, my dignity, my voice and even my attachment to my cousins. I would liken being falsely accused to be a traumatic event in my childhood. It is horrible, and it affects everything. For those who are dealing with being falsely accused or are being set up by corruption, this is not the American way B:8.25" and is hurtful to all involved.

I don’t know why we have holidays on Mondays, it would be better to start holiday weekends on Friday, but not likely to change. Generally, people go home early on Fridays. I can remember when Dick Lamm was governor and he pulled a Friday governmental check on his state employees and found that a majority of state workers were taking off on Friday. It made the headlines several decades ago. I was a good friend of Gov. Lamm. He would come to Craig when I was mayor.

He awarded the city over $1 million in state aid from his local affairs department to construct a new high school.

He was very concerned about the impact of the power plants on the community. Now, 40 years later, the state is concerned about shutting down the four power plants. These plants provide a tremendous amount of electricity on the grid system fueled from the strip coal mining operations creating hundreds of jobs and millions in tax revenues.

I have grave concerns about A happy trail led me to “Barry’s Boys Night Out V” an 80th birthday bash for Barry Hirschfeld. At least 500 of his closest friends showed up at the Denver Center for the PerformSun ing Arts covered Atrium Sunday night, August 21, 2022.

It was a “Who’s, Who” celebration that actually wasn’t a fundraiser for candidates for publi offi e ost of the guests were either present, or past publi offi ials, in luding two incumbent United States Senators, Bennet and Hickenlooper. Mayors Hancock and Coffman were present

wind and solar supplying the growing demand for electricity. With the rise of electric vehicles, charging stations will have to be fueled by electricity. When the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow, there may be some cold winters and hot summer days when we don’t have enough electricity to meet the demands.

Look at the electricity that is used by casino operations.

Vast amounts of electricity powering the video games, air conditioning, hotel room demands, street signals, RTD trains, DEN Airport, hospitals, all of these industries are reliant upon reliable fossil fuels.

I’m told that charging an electric vehicle is equivalent to 20 refrigerators in electrical usage. I think we’re a long way from converting to green energy. We have the cart before the horse and those Craig power plants are starting to shut down in the very near future. There is now some stirring around the possibility of nuclear upgrades

to keep these power sources working on the grid system.

I feel that nuclear is the only answer and all of these windmills will be junk, along with the solar panels both made in China. The challenge with nuclear is to dispose of the radioactive waste.

Decades ago, I was invited to tour a nuclear bomb site North of Las Vegas where scientists had exploded nuclear bombs. There were gigantic holes in the desert with cattle roaming on the bomb site areas with plastic windows inserted into their sides showing their stomachs and organs to check on radiation levels.

Looking into the future, a nuclear cartridge the size of a flashlight battery ould power a vehicle for a year.

Similar devices could power homes. Nuclear plants could produce abundant electricity for future generations, reducing the demands on fossil fuels and green energy.

There is considerable research ongoing with hydro-

and enjoying many friends.

Barry’s fondness for bow ties was prevalent with ties on many golf shirts and guys wearing Bermuda shorts. It was not a dress-up occasion like Barry and Arlene are veterans at attending, but an evening for his pals to relax, smoke cigars, and drink booze at multiple complimentary bars. The guests enjoyed carved beef with all the trimmings with Epicurean CEO and founder Larry DiPasquale present and working, a long-time successful veteran of the catering industry. Barry has the best catering his birthday bash.

It was a “meet and greet” of old friends and challenging to remember names instantaneously. The Robinson brothers were present, they weren’t drinking their famous dairy products.

I didn’t encounter Governor Polis because there was a massive crowd. It was really old home week for Barry’s many friends. They range from many fields of enterprise, politi s, philanthropy, and many years of being in family business in the metro area. Larry Mizel was present wearing a Covid19 mask.

I first en ountered arry at his extensive publishing company on Smith Road 40 years ago when he was printing the nation’s TV Guide on a gigantic press. His family were early-day printers with

gen fuel for future sources of energy. Toyota has done considerable research in California on development of hydrogen powered vehicles.

If we can send a another space rocket to the moon, our s ientists an figure out how to harness new sources of energy.

I can remember a slogan going back to Jimmy Carter’s presidency that said, “Let the SOBs freeze in the dark.”

We had fuel shortages in the 1970s and had to drive at 55 mpg on highways.

Anything that we can do to extend the supply and life of fossil fuels will be wise because someday we will exhaust this source of energy.

I’m betting on American ingenuity and free enterprise to save future generations from what could be a huge energy disaster.

The cows, by the ways seemed healthy in their nuclear pastures.

When I returned to Craig I didn’t glow in the dark from radiation.

Hirschfeld Press once located on Broadway and Cherry Creek.

Down through the decades I have served with Barry on several boards and observed a few habits about him. He moves fast. If given an assignment, he makes the necessary phone calls before the meeting even ends. e is a master of effi ien y and humility. Both he and Arlene paint a broad brush across the Denver scene in many capacities.

His birthday party was a refle tion of his brillian e, olorful style and successful life with a bevy of friends who tend to follow in Barry’s footsteps of hard work and sweat equity. The best road to success!

Let us all hope that we can make Barry Boy’s Night Out No.V1, at year 85.

Three people are running for mayor of Cherry Hills Village

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENT REPORTER

It’s been a decade since a race for the position of mayor of Cherry Hills Village drew more than two candidates. This November, there will be three.

Incumbent Mayor Russell Stewart, Mayor Pro Tem Katy Brown, and CHV resident Jenn Diffendal, who previously did volunteer work with the city’s police department, ha e filed andidate affida its to run for mayor in the November 8 election.

The Villager reached out to the three candidates. We asked them why they are running, what they hope to accomplish, and their position on the two ballot issues CHV residents will be asked to vote on in November.

One of the ballot issues concerns sales tax on remote sales. The other one asks if voter approval should be required for the sale of public trails and/or open spaces.

Mayor Stewart, who has served two two-year terms and is limited to one more, told us, “Fiscal Responsibility. I hope by the end of my next term to leave the Village with a viable plan to maintain solvency in the General Fund and pay off the e isting ertifi ates of Participation (bonds) through 2042. In 2017 the City – with no public discussion and no citizen vote – borrowed $11.5 million using COPs without a feasible

General Fund will be depleted in 2032.” I support the ballot proposal to extend the 3.5% sales tax to remote sellers to keep the illage finan ially solvent at least through 2032. hen first running for ayor in 2018 I opposed using COPs to evade TABOR’s taxpayer voting requirements that apply to municipal bonds, and I promised to “give citizens a vote on whether to create multiple-year debt.” I support the 2022 ballot proposal on open space because it would have required voter approval in 2017 before the issuance of $11.5 million in COPs.

I support returning 2 mills of the 7.4 mills of restricted revenue (about $286 annually for a two-million-dollar home) that the City has been receiving since exiting SSPRD. Unlike revenue obtained from sales taxes, restricted revenues cannot legally be transferred to the General Fund or used for public safety or other non-park expenses.”

Most importantly, (she) brings…the demonstrated leadership necessary to deliver…large projects on-time, under-budget and without raising taxes.” As an example, Brown points to the fact that, “Last year, (she) successfully led the effort to save Quincy Farm as a public treasure and to partner with the Cherry Hills Land Preserve on promoting the Farm as a public natural space.”

On the two ballot issues, Brown told The Villager,

Parks, Trails, and Open Space Protection: I support the citizen-lead initiative to change the City’s charter to require voter approval for the transfer of public parks, trails, or open space. In fact, I helped circulate the petition. In my tenure on Council, Cherry Hills Village residents have consistently demonstrated that our parks, trails, and open spaces are a defining element of the uni ue character of our community. I strongly support the community’s desire to be guaranteed the opportunity for input into any decision to sell, give, or otherwise transfer our public open spaces.”

Candidate Jenn Diffendal responded to our email but declined to include answers to any of our questions, including her position on the two citywide ballot issues.

In addition to the mayor’s seat, city council representative districts two, four and six will also be up for election in November. There will be competitive elections for all three positions.

Cherry Hills Village will have competitive races for three city council positions this November

BY FREDA MIKLIN GOVERNMENT REPORTER

In addition to a three-person race for Cherry Hills Village Mayor, there will be competitive races in all three CHV city council districts where seats are being filled in the November election.

In CHV District Two, Earl Hoellen, who served on the city council from 2015 to

2018 and is currently vicechair of the city’s planning and zoning commission, is running to reclaim that seat.

Tory Leviton, a member of the city’s parks, trails, and recreation commission, is also running for that position.

Residents Susan Maguire and Mark Williams have ea h filed the re uired petitions as candidates for CHV City Council District Four.

In CHV District Six, Robert Eber, who is a member of the city’s parks, trails and recreation committee, has filed the ne essary paperwork to run for city council, as has resident Tom Conroy.

All six city council candidates’ petitions have been ertified as suffi ient by the CHV City Clerk, so their names will be on the ballot in November. Although CHV City Council members repre-

sent individual districts, they each run at-large, so all registered voters in the city will have the opportunity to vote for one of the two candidates in city council districts two, four and six, as well as one of the three mayoral candidates.

The Villager will have more information on these candidates next week. fmiklin.villager@gmail. com

Sister and brother who lost family members to pancreatic cancer to join forces at fundraiser Acclaimed aviator Brian Shul to give audience a pilot’s eye view of fast-flying SR-71

BY PETER JONES

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research, two siblings who lost both their mother and a brother to the disease have come together to raise funds to explore groundbreaking new treatments for one of the most challenging cancers. nd the wings will be flying in more ways than one.

Maureen Shul, who founded Wings of Hope 10 years ago, has invited her brother, Brian, an acclaimed pilot of top-secret aircraft, to take the stage at the annual Evening of Hope fundraiser. The two Shuls tragically lost their mother, Blanche, and brother, Victor, to pancreatic cancer within months of each other more than a decade ago.

“It’s always special when Brian and I are able to team up, despite it bringing to the forefront, all the more, what this wretched disease has taken from us,” said Maureen Shul, the founding mayor of Castle Pines and the executive director of Wings of Hope.

Brian Shul will be the featured speaker at the 10th anniversary Evening of Hope, Sept. 23, at 6 p.m. at the Exploration of Flight hangar at Centennial Airport, 13005 Wings Way. The retired SR71 pilot and author of Sled Driver, the definiti e book on the covert spy plane, will tell his own harrowing true-life story.

He will also bring the audience inside the world s fastest flying

The annual Evening of Hope was created to help increase awareness and raise funds for the leading-edge research taking place at the University of Colorado Cancer Center on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora.

Wings of Hope has already

given two milestone grants for 2022, totaling $350,000—more than double what the organization has typically awarded annually. The record-breaking grants were made possible by the generous support of the community, even though fundraising efforts were halted last year during the Covid-19 pandemic. he first sponsored trial is looking into how the drug ASO may combat a gene that protects cancer cells. The second is studying a new possible way to fight a protein that hastens the spread of pancreatic cancer by suppressing an er fighting cells.

On national politics, Rove e pressed onfiden e that the Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives after the November election, noting that the GOP gained seats in 2020 even though it lost the presidential election. “But the Senate is really dicey,” he said, “because we have 21 Republican seats up and only 14 Democrats, so we start out with more that we have to defend.”

From left to right, community leader and philanthropist Lynne Cottrell, Centennial City Council Member Robyn Carnes, State House District 37 candidate Paul Archer, and longtime party stalwart Andi Allott were please to support Joe O’Dea and listen to war stories from Karl Rove.

On the 2020 presidential election, Rove told the crowd, “The election was not stolen…

Advocates for the (former) president said that 22,000 dead people voted in Nevada.” He explained that the actual number of dead people who voted in Nevada was two and one was an accident

Finally, someone asked Rove about the former president, expressing concern that he could have a negative impact on the upcoming election. Rove said that Trump had done a lot of good things, but, “He is not served

well by the people around him…

He’s going to decide what he’s going to do. It’s up to us to be straight shooters… We are coming to a moment where it’s time to say thank you, but we need to have a change, a new generation.

Electing Joe O’Dea can be a part of that change.” fmiklin.villager@gmail.com

BOOK REVIEW The Midnight Library

This book was released in 2020 by Matt Haig. It was my first read by this author, and I enjoyed his style of expression from the first pages he uardian described his writing as ‘delightfully weird I didn t think it was weird but ertainly delightful, and it was well read on udible The story gives the reader a glimpse of the concept of a library that becomes available to us on the brink of death where we can view books that contain other stories of our li es that might have happened if we had made different decisions. Each day is filled with hoi es that might lead us into an infinite number of directions. What if we change a regret and follow that life? ould it be a good and happy life?

The main character was immersed in self-discovery by iewing and briefly li ing other realities I found the book reati e and thought pro oking It also inspired me to make the most of my life now o, if you are looking for a light read with a hopeful message in the end, this book might be for you

The new Congressional District 6 seat covers schools in Aurora, Cherry Creek, Littleton, Englewood, Sheridan and South Jeffco. Recently released Colorado CMAS achievement scores show over 50% of Colorado’s third graders aren’t reading at grade level. Molly commented that “having Mike and Peggy Shanahans’ endorsement is particularly important as I know how critical sports and activities are to keeping

Desperately needing beauty

MOLD REMEDIATION Inspect, test, or eliminate your mold problem in one day!

303-536-7545 info@puremaintenanceco.com PureMaintenanceCO.com

Right now, things feel heavy and dark. The economy, supply chain issues, gas prices, a pandemic, cultural divisions, mistrust of social institutions, crime, violence, and saber rattling from America’s adversaries.

Beauty and goodness are the opposite of darkness. As humans, we are drawn to beauty and long for things that sparkle and shine. All over the world, in the most desperate of neighborhoods, people plant flowers, paint their apartments, find things that are pleasing to the eye and decorate their surroundings. As a world traveler, I have visited with those who are the most under-resourced in third world countries.

Yet, when they greet you, they are wearing their finest clothes, even if they are torn and tattered. It appears to be universal.

When darkness or death is near, flowers are what people bring. Why do people bring flowers to the hospital, to a funeral or to a site where death and destruction has occurred? What is it about flowers that are healing? In flowers, as in all of nature,

there is unspeakable and extravagant beauty. When we hear or experience ugliness, darkness or evil, beauty is what we long for. There is power in beauty.

Beauty helps us overcome violence, destruction, and sadness. It lifts us out of our circumstances and gives us hope.

Beauty is found in the orderliness of the universe, the consistency of the sunrise, the stars, beaches, forests, mountains, wildlife, in music and the arts.

Have you ever been to a concert where the music was so extravagantly beautiful and powerful, it left you speechless? I recently attended a symphony concert. At the end of the powerful classical Beethoven piece, there was 30 seconds of silence.

The audience was catching their collective breath before it broke out in thunderous applause. That is the power of beauty.

With darkness around us in the form of mass shootings, crime, bullying, blaming, and shaming, we need sunrises, sunsets, flowers, music, and rainbows. We need the beauty of kindness,

compassion, empathy and caring. We need to reach toward a higher power that is the essence of transcendent beauty and goodness. We need something to hold onto, to give us hope and healing.

We need to seek beauty out and search for it. When we find it, we need to bask in the glory of it, marvel, and bathe in it.

We cannot stay in a dark place for long. It effects our brain in a negative and depressing manner. Hope, light, and beauty will help us snap out of it. We need to be awestruck and breathless at the beauty around us. It happens when a baby is born, a puppy sits on our lap, a stranger becomes a friend, a meal is shared, a tear is wiped away, a hug is given to comfort and connect. Beauty is something that goes beyond the nature of our senses, it weakens our knees, and gives us goosebumps. Hope is anchored in beauty. Amid unspeakable evil, death, and destruction, let’s search for, embrace, and experience the beauty that is all around us. Beauty, goodness, and truth will transform us, give us hope as we press on to overcome such a time as this. joneen@myrelation shipcenter.org
