Climbing rents raise frustration

TASTY EVENT ALSO SPOTLIGHTS MENTAL HEALTH

Chilefest spices things up Weekend event raises money for mental health treatment By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com Things got spicy last weekend with all kinds of chiles taking center stage at the Colorado Chilefest and Salsa Festival in Centennial Center Park. Vendors lined the parking lot, serving tamales, burritos,

poblanos, green chiles and salsa sure to make your face turn red. Local chefs competed, while crafts, kid’s activities, live entertainment and beer breweries kept the crowd going. The event staff recently partnered with Second Wind Fund, an organization that benefits youth at risk of suicide by providing mental health treatment. According to Chilefest’s website, 100 percent of profits made during the Sept. 12-13 event supported that cause. Chilefest continues on Page 5

Arapahoe libraries tax going on ballot Board of trustees moves forward with initiative

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Arapahoe Library District board of trustees passed a resolution to add an initiative to the fall ballot that would increase taxes by $6 million annually. Trustees discussed estimated revenues for 2016 at the Aug. 18 board meeting. Michelle Cingrani said the increase would mean $2.39 per month for the owner of a $300,000 home and would be the result of increasing the mill levy from 4.2 to 5.4 mills. An Arapahoe Library District web page offers facts about the ballot initiative; go to arapahoelibraries.org/voteinfo. Serving 250,000-plus patrons with eight community libraries, a jail library and the Library on Wheels, the library district hopes to increase resources, as it’s been 12 years since the last tax increase, executive director Nicolle Davies said. Since then, the entity has gone to the voters three times for a mill levy increase without succeeding. “We manage the budget well,” Davies said. “Trustees have had great oversight to make money last and we’ve found

Millennials flocking to Colorado for jobs and new, more liberal social policies. Baby boomers retiring in droves, looking to downsize. Those are just a couple of reasons there are long lines of prospective tenants at apartment leasing offices, competing for rare vacancies in the Denver metro area. Apartment rents are up at least 5 percent in most metro-area cities since summer 2014, but there is no shortage of people willing to pay them. In south metro-area communities, renters and those still looking for a place are faced with some of the highest rates in the state, with the average one-bedroom going for more than $1,000 a month in most places. For two bedrooms, it’s generally around $1,500 or more, according to apartmentlist. com. Meanwhile, available units are hard to come by. The vacancy rate in the metro area was 4.5 percent as of June, according to the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. The national average is about 7 percent, the U.S. Census Bureau reports. Those who are comfortably ensconced in a single-family neighborhood with a 30-year mortgage, perhaps paid off, might not think rent is an issue that will affect them. But who does it affect? Faces of renters Well, there’s J. Renee Smith. The single mom is paying $950 a month for a small, two-bedroom apartment near Littleton High School. She works two jobs and gets what she calls a “measly” amount of child support. “Since my ex left, I have struggled to finish school, pay off loans and keep bills out of my credit, which has also declined,” she said. “When I had to look for an apartment, prices soared sky-high even for a one-bedroom, and maintenance has been very bad. … Fortunately I was able to grab a second job, thus wearing myself thin on top of Rents continues on Page 11

The

vendors who sell those resources to public libraries don’t do it for cheap. All e-resources sell at a much higher rate, Libraries continues on Page 7

One is the number that adds up to compassion The photo wrenched the world: A Syrian boy in a red T-shirt and blue shorts, black Velcro sneakers on his feet, his face half-buried in sand as waves ebbed and flowed around him. Dead. Drowned. Human debris washed ashore by a surging tide of desperation so great that the hope of opportunity seemed worth the risk of unimaginable loss. His name was Aylan Kurdi. He was three years old. The image of his death galvanized a global community to outrage — and, ultimately, universal compassion — over a problem that wasn’t new. The stream of migrants pouring into Europe, chasing dreams to better lives, began last year as they fled poverty, war and violence in the Middle East and North Africa. Record numbers in recent months pushed the situation to a crescendo. But even then, we — as a global citizenry — did not really hear the roar. Then came the image of Aylan’s death, which social media ensured the world rapidly saw. And suddenly, the reality of this international crisis became personal, one we could relate to wherever we lived, one that pulled compassion from wherever it was hiding. Because Aylan could have been our son, our brother, our grandson, our friend. We could have been his parent, his sister, his aunt, his neighbor. “It’s not the severity or the objective facts of a disaster that motivate us to feel compassion and help,” psychologist David DeSteno, director of Northeastern

University’s Social Emotions Lab, said at a 2012 PopTech conference. “It’s whether or not we see ourselves in the victims.” As a longtime journalist, I know that to be true. The ability to Ann Macari peel away layers of Healey a complex issue to one person’s relatable experiences results in the most powerful stories — regardless of whether they’re about an issue of national importance or a simple, quiet, ordinary moment in life. They create universal understanding that connects us to humanity. They bring us together as community. They show us why we should care. And, sometimes, they sway our hearts to a different place or push us to action. I’m awed by the power of photography to convey all that without words. Even in today’s multimedia society, in which video is king and information an eternal bombardment, a photograph can still freeze time and force us to stop long enough to feel its message unequivocally. Consider Dorothea Lange’s 1936 photograph of a hungry, desperate mother and her children during the Great Depression. Or the 1972 black-and-white image of 9-year-old Kim Phuc, running terrified and naked after a South Vietnamese plane accidentally dropped napalm on its own

citizens. Or the firefighter emerging from the rubble of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, cradling a dying 1-year-old baby. I remember carefully cutting out that last picture from a newspaper and tucking it away in a folder I keep of good writing that inspires me. I was a parent of two young children, and it touched me deeply, made me feel the anguish and sorrow of that mother, but also the love of humanity and the strength of compassion. Award-winning New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof searches relentlessly for the one voice through which to bring an issue to life in words. The documentary “Reporter,” which follows his 2009 quest for that single person to illustrate the consequence of ongoing warfare in Democratic Republic of Congo, shows his almost formulaic approach to create compassion and action from what he writes. But he bases it on studies of the psychology of compassion, one of which demonstrates that people respond more to the photograph of one starving child as compared to a photograph with two or more children. “Perhaps the most important image to represent a human life is that of a single face,” Paul Slovic, a psychology professor at University of Oregon, wrote in a 2007 academic journal following research into psychic numbing — or the collapse of compassion — related to the Darfur genocide. He found “most people are caring and will exert great effort” for someone in need. These same people, however, “often

become numbly indifferent to the plight of ‘the one’ who is one of many in a much greater problem.” “When it comes to eliciting compassion,” he said, “the identified individual victim, with a face and a name, has no peer.” At least 188,000 migrants had been rescued and more than 2,000 migrants had already died this year, according to the International Organization for Migration, when a little boy washed up on a Turkish beach Sept. 2 and became the face and name of this overwhelming humanitarian crisis. A belated call for unity and compassion rippled across the world. The European Union president recently urged member nations to put aside differences and welcome these refugees in a way that respects humanity and human dignity, The New York Times reported. The U.S. has increased the number of Syrian refugees it will accept, but also is hearing calls from aid agencies to open its arms wider. There are no easy answers. But Mother Teresa, whose compassion knew no limits, said: “If I look at the mass, I will never act. If I look at one, I will.” We have looked at Aylan. What will we do?

Founder’s Day Breakfast celebrates city Event showcases Centennial’s spirit, mayor says By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com Who knew pancakes could bring everyone together? The City of Centennial hosted a celebration Sept. 12 to reflect on the 15th anniversary of the vote that transformed what used to be a portion of unincorporated Arapahoe County into a city with more than 100,000 people. Pancakes from Flippin’ Flapjacks of Centennial were served up outside of Centennial Civic Center, as well as sausage links, orange juice and coffee in mugs sporting the city’s new logo. According to public information manager Allison Wittern, about 250 pancakes made it to the table for the Founder’s Day Breakfast. “I think today’s event is special because it continues the spirit Centennial was founded on — self-determination, innovation and efficiency, all of the things that continue to make our city so great,” District 4 City Council member C.J. Wehlan said. Mayor Cathy Noon invited district members and founding fathers to the front stage and talked about how hard everyone worked to make the city what it is today. “I think today is a wonderful milestone and a celebration of all of the hard work that came forward and has continued,” Noon said. “The fact that so many people who were a part of it from the beginning came out today makes our city a great place.” The pancakes were a delight, Robert Turnell of Centennial said as he chowed down at a table with his two young daughters and wife. “They’re so good,” he said. “We had heard about the Chilefest going on this weekend and our kids love pancakes, so here we are. We’re glad we came.”

Chilefest Continued from Page 1

Chilefest founder Diamond Jim, originally from Chicago but who grew up in Colorado, has always worked hard at providing a multitude of special events here. But his ambition was to host a true and unbiased competition to determine the best salsa and green chile in the state. “Colorado provided a fantastic canvass for our creativity to come to life,” Jim said. Pepper enthusiasts Gina Smith and

Joel Holden of Littleton said the event was awesome. “It’s been fun — we hope it keeps going,” Smith said. “We’ve been to Italian Fest in BelMar, but because peppers are delicious we’re here. We love spicy foods,” Holden said. “I’ve always bought chiles from this stand that’s normally on Santa Fe and have kept in touch with them, so that’s how we found out about today.” Between the two days, 12 bands took the stage to egg on the heat and get guests dancing. With several dozen vendors providing samples of their fieriest tastes, water also was a hot commodity.

Among the many food vendors, tamales were a hot commodity.

Victims’ rights pioneer retires after 40 years Feldman helped start programs in Littleton, Arapahoe County By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Nancy Feldman spent nearly 40 years helping people through the most terrible times in their lives. “One of the nice things about starting in 1975, before there was victim assistance, is having the opportunity to see it develop into a field,” she said on the afternoon of Sept. 10, 10 days into her retirement from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice. Feldman, who has lived in Littleton since 1977, helped pave the way in the south-metro area for ensuring victims of crime were heard. She began her career in 1975, working in the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office as one of the first counselors hired in what was then the new juvenile diversion program. That experience led to a position with the Littleton Police Department as a youth counselor. Being a sworn officer was a requirement of the job, and she became one of just four women in her class at the police academy. “I feel like it’s kind of false advertising to say I was a police officer,” she said. “It was so I could do child-abuse cases, for when I had to take the child out of the house.” At the time, Littleton police had just one female officer. “So for sexual assault calls, if they requested a woman and she wasn’t available, there I was,” said Feldman. “That’s when I started getting interested in the victim-assistance field.”

Nancy Feldman spent nearly 40 years fighting for victims’ rights in the south metro area. Photo by Jennifer Smith With the department’s blessing, she rounded up some volunteers and started LPD’s first rape-response program. One of those volunteers, Linda Suttle, today heads up Littleton’s victim-advocate program, which evolved from Feldman’s team. “Nancy is the best,” said Suttle. “She has been instrumental in every piece of legislation for crime victims, including the victimcompensation law and the victim-rights amendment. When Littleton City Council passed the municipal victim-compensation ordinance, Nancy was the first one I called to be on the board that reviews claims from victims of property crimes. She has been an inspiration and a force for victims, and I’m

very lucky to consider her my friend.” Not long after that, Arapahoe County Sheriff Ed Nelson decided his office needed a program for victims, too, and that Feldman was just the person to have on board. She cofounded that program as well, and both continue strong to this day. “It was really a new concept at the time,” she said. “Arapahoe County was one of the first ones that handled all types of cases, not just sexual assaults. … Officers weren’t used to working with civilians. When we introduced the victims program, it was just a whole different change of culture. It’s definitely the most challenging job I’ve had, but that made it also the most rewarding.” Feldman later went back to the DA’s office to continue on her path of advocacy. While there, she worked with Gallagher and Patty Moschner to build Sungate Child Advocacy Center, now known as SungateKids. It was designed as a safe place for child victims to tell their stories to trained interviewers and to cut down on how many times they had to relive them. “Bob Gallagher was just a really innovative person,” she said. “With kid sex abuse, they just had to go through so many interviews. It was endless. He just said, `We need to do this.’ ” She finally landed as manager of the office for victim programs in the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice, where she was instrumental in finding federal money for assistance of victims in large tragedies like the Aurora theater and Platte Canyon High School shootings. Although those cases garnered worldwide attention, sometimes the quieter ones were the most haunting. Feldman remembers two in particular, both in Littleton. In

the first, a man killed his wife, leaving her body in a Dumpster. “They had two boys, 19 and 15,” she said. “Their mother was dead and their father was arrested. They were totally parentless. The older one was going to try to take care of the younger one, but he was only 19.” The other was the 1985 murder of Denise Davenport, a student at the University of Northern Colorado who went missing in February of that year. Her remains were found in the South Platte River that April. Davenport grew up in Littleton and her mother, Carrie, still lived there, so LPD handled the victim assistance. “I stayed in contact with Carrie for years,” said Feldman. “That was always hard, especially since it was never solved. She never really got over it before she died. I was the person she could talk to about it for years and years, when everybody else had gone on.” With those memories and happier ones, Feldman now looks forward to making more happy ones with her family and, especially, her first granddaughter, 7-month-old Audrey Grace. She might even save a little time for her husband, Ethan, Littleton’s municipal judge. “In my not unbiased opinion, Nancy has been a pioneer in victim advocacy in Littleton and Arapahoe County and Colorado,” said Judge Feldman. “She has been a most valuable citizen and public servant for our city, county and state. She has had a career that actually matters, that has touched many lives. … It’s interesting how victims’ rights have evolved. Back then, there was no such thing as a domestic-violence case. It was all hidden. The new emphasis on victims has really shined some light on what happens in society.”

Davies said. “The greatest thing about our librarhies is that everyone is welcome,” she said. l “We want to better everything so we can make access easier to everyone.” n If the initiative passes, trustees plan to continue to offer outstanding services and expand technology, collection and programming, she said. A Centennial resident who was doing some work and research at Koelbel Library said she’d definitely vote for the initiative. “I think personally it’s a good thing,” Maria Howard said. “I love seeing young children in here. It’s great for entertainment and educational programs. When I was young I had a blast reading stories at the library.” Retiree and tutor Gary Greeno of

unincorporated Arapahoe County said he loves Arapahoe Libraries. He was at Koelbel tutoring a student from a Cherry Creek school. “They’re far and away superior to other libraries,” he said. “I’d have to give the initiative more thought. Overall, generally it would better things, but I’m not sure I’d vote for it because I’m retired and have a general income. The tax would affect me, as my home is worth more than $300,000 and it would be more than $25 added a year.” Centennial resident Valeen Schmitt said she doesn’t normally get into politics, but she’s for the tax increase. “They’re going to raise taxes for whatever they need and we’ll just pay it,” she said. “I should hope it would benefit the libraries. It’s nice to see that people still go to them. I’m always for libraries, streets and schools.” By the end of the day Nov. 3, the library district should know the outcome from the all-mail balloting, Davies said.

DOGS IN THE POOL

TAKING THE PLUNGE

Mavis, a 5-year-old American bulldog, “loves tennis balls something ﬁerce,” said Joe Marshall, a Centennial resident. Marshall and his wife, Maggie, brought Mavis to the Puppy Paddle at Holly Pool for a third straight year Sept. 12. Dozens of dogs filled Holly Pool in Centennial on Sept. 12 during the annual Puppy Paddle. The South Suburban Parks and Recreation event was an opportunity for pups to swim and splash their way toward tennis balls and other objects — or just take a dip — as they received encouragement from their owners, who were told to stay out of the pool for health reasons. Mavis, a 5-year-old American bulldog, enjoys the tradition, her owners said. But it takes her a little while to warm up to the water. “She’s always a little nervous going in at first,” said Centennial resident Maggie Marshall.

Centennial resident Steve Murphy helps Sophie, an 8-year-old shiba inu, from the water at the Puppy Paddle at Holly Pool on Sept. 12. “We’re just trying to get her acclimated to the water, get her out of her comfort space,” Murphy said.

Law enforcement responds to threats Police say majority of public remains supportive Staff report Following a recent threat against Aurora and Denver police from an anonymous caller, law enforcement agencies in the south metro area were asked how they handle such situations. The caller threatened to shoot police who were alone. A few hours after the Sept. 6 threat, someone shot in the direction of Aurora police officers after they were called to a scene. According to Crystal McCoy, public information officer with Aurora police, investigation so far shows nothing connects the two incidents. However, McCoy said the incidents are still being investigated.

Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office does not have different “alert” operating conditions, so deputies are not placed on “high alert,” said bureau chief Glenn Thompson, who’s responsible for the Public Safety Bureau, handles patrol, investigations and the sheriff’s impact team. However, deputies are encouraged to always be aware of their surroundings and all aspects of the situations and people they interact with on a daily basis. “Situations such as the recent call to Aurora PD serve as reminders to all of us that we should always remain alert for our own safety and that of the members of our community,” Thompson said. The sheriff’s office evaluates each situation, and depending on circumstances, additional direction and recommendations are provided to staff. Cultivating good relationships with

communities is crucial, Thompson added. “We understand that this one call does not reflect the attitudes of the majority of the people in the community. We continue to partner with members of the community on a daily basis to provide quality public safety services.” Littleton Police Department Commander Trent Cooper with the Littleton Police Department said his staff hasn’t done anything in particular or gone into “high alert,” but that he’s confident LPD officers are aware of current threat trends. “We investigate them to the best of our ability,” Cooper said. “But as is commonly known, in today’s world of electronics, it is not hard to hide your identity or location. We take all threats seriously and disseminate the information to our officers so they are aware.”

WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?

Cooper said he and his staff pride themselves on having state-of-the-art training on safety tactics and skills. Nationally, killings of police officers have declined to a level last seen in the 1960s, and Cooper thinks there will be even fewer this year. “Statistically speaking, it has never been safer to be a cop,” said Cooper, who has been a police officer for 27 years. “It just doesn’t seem like it based on the recent press.” As in any career, police departments also have people who shouldn’t be officers, Cooper said. But “the 99.9 percent of cops that are good, hard-working, honest people don’t like the bad cops any more than the public. We want to get rid of them, too ... The idea that someone, or a group of people, will target all police officers, based on the actions of a few bad apples, is appalling and frightening.”

VOICES

Plan the what, why and how of success Thanks again for all of the great feedback regarding this column. I sincerely appreciate the emails and am thankful for the opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas with you all as we discuss, debate, and even challenge some of the concepts found in my articles. One common message that has come through over the years is that many of you enjoy the positive thought, message or idea that I share; however, it would be really great if I could go beyond the Michael Norton concept or philosophy and get WINNING into the “How” WORDS of actually doing something. The “How” is incredibly important, for sure. I mean, the very best strategies and plans still need to be executed, right? But we cannot jump right to the “How” without first knowing the “What” and “Why” behind our strategy or plan. Moving right to “How” is like taking a fire, ready, aim approach instead of a ready, aim, fire approach. So let me share a 10-step tactical step-by-step plan that can be used to help you succeed in almost any endeavor you are pursuing. 1. Identify “What” it is you would like to do or you are trying to accomplish. 2. Define “What” success will look when you meet your goal. 3. Eliminate “What” obstacles may stand in your way. 4. Plan for “What” happens next after achieving your goal. 5. Understand “Why” you are pursuing this goal. 6. List all the reasons “Why” this is something worthy of your effort. 7. Challenge all of the reasons on your “Why” list. 8. If your “Why” list doesn’t support your “What” goal, rethink the “What.” 9. Create your action items and todo list on `How” you will approach this goal or project. 10. Set proper expectations for “How” you will measure your success and “How” often you will measure your success. Zig Ziglar used to say: “People who never take step one, can never possibly expect to take step two.” And it is so true, isn’t it? I mean if we do not know “What” it is that we want, and “Why” we really want it, how can we possibly come up with the “How” part in a meaningful enough way that will provide us with the level of belief and commitment that we need in order to see our goal all the way to the end? Here are a couple more “How” items for you to consider. First, once you have gone through the 10-step tactical plan outlined above, make sure you share it with others who can provide good feedback and insights as well as challenge your thinking. Share it with positive people and avoid anyone who will try and rain only negativity on your plans. Second, whether it is a goal, dream or project of any kind, build yourself a visual reminder where you can be inspired every day and where you can track milestones of success. Some people call this a vision board, which can be placed anywhere that it will be Norton continues on Page 24

Those little problems are, well, pretty little “Small coffee, black.” “Cream and sugar?” “Black.” “We have some great flavors. Hazelnut is very popular.” “Black, Janelle” “I like white chocolate mocha.” As you can see, the day started unevenly. Whenever I leave the house, it’s all up for grabs. If you work at home too, and if you prefer to stay at home when you are not working, you know what I mean. Being out there among the English can be a headache. Later, I went to a drive-through and ordered a hamburger without pickles. They gave me a cheeseburger with pickles. Close. Then I drove over to pick up a vertical poster. It was horizontal. “Did you say vertical?” “Do you know Janelle?” “What?” Inevitably, things go awry. You know: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men.” (Robert Burns accidentally plowed a mouse’s winter nest.) Some days there are a few, and some days that’s all you get. A lot of them are smoothed over with irksome expressions. “No worries,” or its brethren, “No problem,” which is often expressed when there is a problem. Daily difficulties have been the foundation of lots and lots of films, all the way back to the silent era, when Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton were constantly in the midst of disorder and mayhem. I don’t think anyone remembers Keaton. But he was good. Especially in “The General.” Alcoholism had an effect on his career. Chaplin was a masterpiece. Laurel and Hardy had a comically hard time delivering a piano in “The Music Box.” You come home from work, and the missus asks you, “How was your day?” It’s an invitation to the dance. You either had a good day, or it was one disaster after another. And sometimes there are minor disasters even on the good days. Flat tire, fender-bender, parking ticket, traffic jam, lost a sale, arrested for refusing to grant a same-sex marriage license.

When I was a schoolteacher, every single day was an accident or an incident waiting to happen. Students were unpredictable. One day they might be focused and disciplined, and the next Craig Marshall Smith they might be teethbaring banshees QUIET with a drawing pad. DESPERATION Now and then faculty lost it too. Faculty meetings were often fraught with egos. Then I would get in rush hour. I am isolated from everyday conflicts now, because I rarely go anywhere. You know what a stick in the mud is? It wouldn’t work for anyone else. Oh, I know there are people who eat pigeons and live under viaducts who don’t have many executive problems, but they have problems of a different kind. Getting a cheeseburger with pickles isn’t a big deal. I am not allergic to cheese or to pickles. Momentary exasperations fade. Mine are almost immediately replaced by more meaningful ones. I’ll read about someone who has had to learn how to talk again, or to walk again. I read an article about a Haitian who lost his wife, one of his daughters, and his dog in the 2010 earthquake. He and his other daughter were living in a tent. We became pen pals. I sent money to him and gifts to his daughter. His story was picked up, and strangers rallied. Brought the two of them to America, and bought them a car. His daughter’s arm was amputated at the elbow. She asked her father if she could still become a doctor. I read that on a Sunday morning. Sitting in an air-conditioned, three-bedroom house, with indoor plumbing and a flat-screen television. “Cream and sugar?” “Sure.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Slower speeds, not wall, is answer I have been a resident of the Acres Green neighborhood for 40-plus years and remember when C-470 was built and opened to traffic. At that time there was hardly any noticeable noise coming from this highway. The noise however increased dramatically when the speed limit

crotar@coloradocommunitymedia.com

was raised to 65 mph. I’m not an engineer, but I suspect it has something to do with airflow passing over the moving cars. Yes, traffic volume has also increased, but building a wall — as some residents are suggesting — is not going to solve the problem. It will, however, cost taxpayers

money to build an unsightly wall. How about reducing the speed back to 55 mph, which will reduce the noise and perhaps, even more importantly, reduce the number of accidents on this heavily traveled road? Chris Jimroglou Acres Green

Rents Continued from Page 1

being a single mom and a chauffeur. Rent prices are ridiculous.” At the other end of the spectrum is 74-year-old Cinni Hines. She’s lived her whole life in Littleton. In 2002, she had a mobile home until the owner of the park she lived in sold to a development company that evicted everybody. Hines and her husband, Patrick, picked themselves up and got a two-bedroom apartment in downtown Littleton, and things were going along OK until Patrick died five years ago. She ended up getting a roommate to avoid having to move. “Rent goes up all the time, but Social Security doesn’t,” she said. “We rent in Littleton because we want to stay in Littleton. Most of us are interested in what’s going on. And I love living downtown, because I don’t drive.” Sticker shock Then there are the transplants like millennial Scott Willey, who recently moved to the south metro area with his girlfriend. He grew up on the Gulf Coast of Texas, where he made a name for himself as a cook. He now finds himself working at a fast-casual chain restaurant. “I thought coming to a big metropolitan area, there’d be more choices for affordable living,” he said. “With it being such a densely populated area, I just thought rent would be manageable.” The couple ended up in Englewood, paying $1,190 for a one-bedroom. Other necessities, like water and electricity, bring their expenses up to about $1,400 a month, not counting food, gas and “fun money.” “My girlfriend and I only bring in about $41,000 a year,” said Willey. “I’d say we have less than $100 to play with per paycheck after rent, bills and all of the other necessities we have to account for.” Long road ahead Willey says they’d like to get out of the “rent race” at some point, realizing ownership would ultimately be more affordable. According to the real-estate website Zillow, renters can expect to spend 30 percent of their income on rent, while buyers spend just about 15 percent of theirs on mortgage payments. “I’d love to actually invest my money into a house someday, instead of throwing it down the drain for a one-bedroom that’s only 650 square feet,” said Willey. According to Zillow, “the picture doesn’t look bright for renters” in the immediate future: “Rents will likely keep rising at roughly their current pace for at least the next few years, which will lead to a continued affordability crunch unless wage growth significantly improves.” The Colorado Apartment Association notes that the market fluctuates, but the current demand for rentals is at an alltime high. “As a result, for those who haven’t shared in the benefits of Colorado’s economic growth, finding and retaining affordable housing can be a challenge,” it reports. Go west, young people Young people who are just starting out find themselves facing that challenge every day, and developers looking to build multifamily projects stress that millennials want the flexibility that renting affords. That’s true for now, according to Apartment List, a company that aggre-

Across the south metro area, new apartments like these at Mineral Avenue and Platte Canyon Road in Littleton, are popping up. Photo by Jennifer Smith gates apartment listings on its website. But 74 percent of millennials hope to buy eventually, and 53 percent of those plan to wait until after 2018. “There are indications that this may be caused by millennials getting married later, and also rising levels of student debt,” it reports. Denver ranks as one of the top metro areas in the county for millennials who plan to buy, along with Austin, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. But in the meantime, some of them are avoiding the metro area at all costs. Chris Frey is one of them. He has lived in the tiny mountain town of Silver Plume his whole life, but his live-in girlfriend is from Littleton. “Her parents wish we lived closer,” he said. “But even though we both have good full-time jobs, there’s no way we could afford it. Plus, we’re renting a four-bedroom house that sits on one acre for less than we could get a one-bedroom apartment for down there.” Developers also talk a lot about people like Highlands Ranch resident Suzanne Homme, a senior who wanted to downsize and move into walkable, maintenance-free housing. “We have rented the same apartment for 17 years,” said Homme. “We are elderly and enjoy the fact that we don’t have to buy this and repair that. Our unit is ground floor and easily accessed by two of us when we need to be in wheelchairs. Paying rent sucks, but then so does paying taxes to own a house.” Community reaction But often, there is community resistance to multifamily dwellings in general. In a scene that replays itself over and over throughout the metro area, the owner of Columbine Square shopping center in Littleton two years ago wanted to redevelop it into “affordable” apartments that would rent for $800 to $1,250. But neighbors turned out in droves to oppose the plan. One woman, who didn’t want to be identified, worried the low price would attract “riffraff” and urged the developer to upgrade the complex into a “hip” mixeduse project. But the same year, a plan to build 385 units that would lease for up to $2,100 a month at County Line Road and Erickson Boulevard sailed through the process with ease. Nobody spoke against the plan during the public hearing, and resident Katy Raffensperger said the project would be great for couples like her and her husband.

Landlords rewarded for lending a hand Area incentive program targets homelessness Staff report Area mayors are stepping up to help Colorado residents who are struggling to find a place to call home. On Aug. 5, the Metro Mayors Caucus launched the Landlord Incentive Program, “in recognition of the regional nature of the challenge of ending homelessness and the important role that landlords can play in helping individuals and families,” according to a news release. An incentive fund is available to property owners and landlords in the seven-county metro area who agree to rent to people with housing vouchers who participate in

a regional program administered by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative. Landlords can get up to $1,000 to help cover costs associated with vacancies, damages and any repairs that might occur while the tenant is in a binding lease agreement. “The fund is designed to ensure a sustainable connection between landlords and those who are struggling to find or secure housing,” the release states. “By offering monetary and other incentives that help cover costs common in a rental situation, local leaders can ease the concerns of compassionate property owners and minimize barriers for low-income renters in communities across the region.” Interested landlords can call Colorado Housing Connects, 844-926-6632, or visit www.coloradohousingconnects.org to learn more about the incentive fund.

ON THE RISE A look at the median rental rates in July for a two-bedroom apartment in some metro-area communities: (with state rank in parentheses and percentage increase from 2014 at far right) Boulder: $1,800 (1), +0.4 percent

Centennial: $1,430 (8), +2.4 percent

“There’s a lack of quality rental property for young people,” she said. While there’s no denying the demand is there, some renters tire of the stigma often placed on them. “What most people don’t realize is, renters are probably one of the hardestworking groups out there,” said Willey.

“We’re just not fortunate enough to get ahead of our bills. Renting is obviously not our ideal situation; there just aren’t any other options. I’d say people get the wrong idea about those who don’t have a house, because they think were irresponsible or don’t care about our future. But it takes all we have just to get by.”

Fun Run Program teaches students about athletes around the world ‘Big World Recess’ is the theme of this year’s event Staff report Creekside Elementary in Centennial hosted a Boosterthon Fun Run event in late August, part of a national fundraising program where students collect pledges from friends and family. Sponsors can pledge a per-lap amount or flat donation toward the school’s Fun Run. Students run for 30 minutes and can run up to 35 laps. This year’s theme was “Big World Recess,” and before the run, students watched videos about student athletes from around the world. “In our 14 years serving schools, this theme is by far our best yet, because we are bringing students in America inspiring stories from around the world,” said Chris Carneal, Boosterthon founder and president. “Big World Recess promotes the side of sports we all love while giving students a rich global perspective.”

Man held in shooting of father Suspect is facing charges including attempted murder Staff report A man suspected of shooting his 71-yearold father at a Centennial home has been arrested, police said. Jonathan Ryan, 31, faces charges of attempted first-degree murder, assault and crimes against an at-risk adult, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office. He is

being held without bond at the Arapahoe County jail. Ryan’s father, whose name has not been released, was being treated at a local hospital and his condition was not available. Deputies began searching Jonathan Ryan for Ryan after reports of a medical call came in from a residence in the 5500 block of South Jebel Way at 5:15 p.m. Sept. 8. When medics arrived on scene, a man was found

with a gunshot wound. “It is not clear what led up to the shooting as Ryan and his father were the only two at home at the time of the incident,” a sheriff’s office news release stated. At 4:15 p.m. Sept. 9, Ryan was taken into custody after neighbors notified the sheriff’s office that he had come home. Deputies responded and set up a perimeter. Communication was sent out to 37 phone numbers asking residents to take shelter. When deputies entered the house, Ryan was arrested without incident.

Church brightens ﬁrst day of school Mission Hills volunteers make difference at Field Elementary Staff report Field Elementary School recently got a big boost from “Love in Action.” More than 200 volunteers with that group from Littleton’s Mission Hills Church swarmed the school property on Aug. 23, logging more than 1,300 hours to get it in sparkling shape in time for the students to return for the new school year the next day. “The Field community, staff and students are very grateful for their generous donation of time and talent to Field Elementary School,” said principal Lyn Bajaj. “Nearly every square inch of Field’s property was touched through this generous donation of time, talent and kindness from the Mission Hills Church volunteers.” Bajaj said the team had an incredible impact on the look and feel of the school’s exterior, completing many significant projects. Nearly 20 trees that were dead

or dying were removed by a professional tree-trimming company with help from several adult and high-school volunteers. One group of volunteers, who set out to simply replace a few treads and spindles on the deck and ramp that connect Field’s portable classrooms, wound up completely rebuilding it. Working from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., they had it ready for students the following day. More than a hundred other volunteers, ranging in age from preschool children to grandparents, pulled weeds, trimmed overgrown trees and bushes, planted flowers, raked leaves and cleared the entire fence line of overgrowth and saplings. Others built a wooden planter box and filled it with flowers to freshen up the back entrance where kids enter the building each day. Another group of volunteers overhauled the school garden, removing weeds, laying weed paper, mulching and prepping planters so that students will be able to participate in fall planting. “Schools are the heartbeat of a community,” reads the team’s website. “We have a wonderful opportunity to celebrate these

Uncorked Kitchen to host cooking parties Business to provide lessons, tasting menus in fun setting By Mike DiFerdinando mdiferdinando@coloradocommunitymedia.com The crowd gathers as it’s almost time to use the blowtorch. Chef Eric Robbins walks those who have gathered at his booth for the Taste of Lone Tree through how to make crème brulee. Robbins stirs, mixes, pours and bakes until the mini ramekins have been cooked and cooled. “If you guys want to torch your own crème brulee, we’ve got some people over here who can help,” Robbins says, pointing to a row of mini torches. The crowd is in good hands. Teaching lay people how to cook is the name of the game for the former fine dining chef. Eric and his wife, Katie, will open Uncorked Kitchen at the beginning of October, in a business that will bring people together to learn and cook in a fun environment. “We love to call it a cooking party because it’s really more about the entertainment and less about a school type of setting,” Katie said. “You come in, take away some fun skills and fun knowledge, and let’s have some fun with food — maybe some great ingredients you haven’t tried before — and let’s have fun with friends.” Uncorked Kitchen will be located at 8171 S. Chester St., Centennial, near Ethan Allen. “We’re going to do all different kinds of menus,” Katie said. “We’ll have adult events, date nights, kids’ classes, birthdays,

camps and corporate team-building events.” The couple calls the business Denver’s first interactive dining experience. Eric attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and received his degree in economics with a minor in business. He worked in trade logistics for a clothing manufacture in Denver before moving to Boston to pursue his love of cooking and attend culinary school. Since then, he has worked in restaurants, opened one of his own, worked in catering and handled purchasing for Boston’s Museum of Science. Following their time in Boston, Eric and Katie came home to Colorado to open Uncorked Kitchen. The maximum capacity for each Uncorked Kitchen event is 20 and a schedule of classes and menus can be found online at uncorkedkitchen.com. Wine, beer and cocktails will be available for purchase from the wine bar. For some events, wine or beer may be included in your event payment. On Oct. 10, students can learn how to make their own doughnuts and fritters, and on Oct. 23 Uncorked Kitchen will be hosting a guy’s night out grilling event. The cost of each class is $99. On Oct. 24 there will be a date night event called Venice for Lovers. The cost is $210 per couple. Five-week teen and kids’ courses are available as well. The cost of the children’s packages ranges from $265 to $285 for the course, depending on age group. “If you want to do a private function, we’ll customize the menu for you to really make it what you want for your party,” Chef Eric Robbins uses a torch to make creme brulee during the Taste of Lone Tree.

‘Night with Coroner’ set for Highlands Ranch Suicide prevention, FBI profiling highlighted in presentation By Taryn Walker twalker@colorado communitymedia.com Four years ago, then-Douglas County coroner and 26-year Colorado State Patrol veteran Lora Thomas began a series of events titled “A Night with the Coroner” to inform citizens of how things were handled in her office. At 6:45 p.m. on Sept. 23, the program will return at Southridge Recreation Center, 4800

McArthur Ranch Road in Highlands Ranch, with a presentation by FBI profiler Pete Klismet. Anyone is welcome, but parental discretion is advised, Thomas said. The fee is $10 at the door. The now-retired coroner left Douglas County in January and since then has become the president of the 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation A Night with the Coroner. Her hopes are to bring awareness to suicide prevention and inform the community of how law enforcement works and what a coroner does. “I ran for coroner in 2010 and I had lots of questions from the public on what we do, so that’s why I started this,” Thomas said. “I

wanted people to understand what their tax dollars paid for.” She was the first woman captain and major in the Colorado State Patrol and witnessed the tragedy of suicide and the impact on families and friends, she said. After retiring, she researched more than 6,000 homicide and suicide deaths in the state from 2004-2010. “Though we’re losing a lot of people in traffic accidents, we’re also losing a lot to suicide,” she said. “I want to make people aware of what suicide look like in terms of statistics.” Thomas supports The Second Wind Fund of Metro Denver, an organization that provides counseling to teenagers identified as being at risk for suicide by teachers and

counselors. She said she’ll be collecting donations for the program at the Southridge event. A Night with the Coroner also has supported Steffan Tubbs of NewsRadio 850 KOA, who is producing the film “ACRONYM” about veterans struggling with PTSD. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 22.2 percent of suicides in the U.S. are veterans. Thomas also wants the public to know how death investigations are handled. “Who doesn’t love Gibb on ‘NCIS’? But that’s entertainment. I want people to know the real roles and responsibilities of a coroner and other law enforcement personnel,” she said.

Congregation members use hymnals and large-print handouts as they sing a hymn during the morning worship service at Littleton Presbyterian Church. While many churches now use praise bands and contemporary hymns with words displayed on a screen at the front of the church, Littleton Presbyterian continues to have a piano, organ and choir join the congregation in singing traditional hymns from the hymnals.

Worship services may include modern songs, instruments

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com

usic has been a part of Christian church worship since the foundations of the church in the first century, and worship music has constantly undergone change. There is no recorded timeline of the evolution in worship music from the first century church, but history tells us that as the Catholic Church grew, the congregation didn’t do the singing, as the music was provided by choirs of priests and nuns. A transition took place in the 1500s when Martin Luther initiated the Protestant Reformation, with worship services that included congregational singing of Psalms and songs.

Changes continued through the centuries, with significant ones in the past few years. Larry Lindquist, chairman of Denver Seminary’s leadership master’s degree department, said many changes in music happened slowly, but the most recent started to come about quickly in the 1990s. “Most churches in the 1900s used a piano or organ and sang the traditional hymns of the church from songbooks called hymnals. Some songs had been written 100 or more years before, but new worship music was always being written and added to the services,” Lindquist said. “I guess about the mid-’90s, many churches began to shift from traditional hymns and accompaniment using hymnals to praise bands using guitar and drums leading the congregation, singing more contemporary hymns with the words displayed on a screen.” Worship music varies While most churches conduct more contemporary worship services, churches like Littleton First Presbyterian Church retain traditional accompaniment and music. “We have a pianist and an organist accompanying the choir and we sing from the hymnal,” Pastor Cody Sandahl said. “But the number one request from our youth department is to adopt a more contemporary worship style. We plan to let them conduct a contemporary worship service in November, but it is highly unlikely we will change our traditional worship program on Sunday mornings.” The worship music is different at Wellspring Church in Englewood. Jeff Gayle, worship director, said the worship music includes a full praise band providing accompaniment for the vocalists and the congregation. “For our services, we select music for our full praise band and our vocalists that reflects our love of the traditional music of the church while embracing the more contemporary hymns and musical styles,” he said. “We have software that lets us review the top 50 worship songs on the charts, and we select those that are right for us. We also include traditional hymns, although we may use different musical arrangements.” Retooling songs He said contemporary worship music artists also show their love for the traditional music of the church by doing what he called “retooling” the songs. “Retooling a traditional hymn may be adding a mod-

The worship leader said the music style and selection tend to be comtemporary, but all the songs selected praise and worship the Lord. Photo courtesy of Wellspring Church ern chorus as well as working out a different musical arrangement,” Gayle said. “While it might sound different, the focus is to make changes to the music without changing the deep feeling and message in the song.” David Langley, a Centennial resident, sang in an Ohio church choir for 50 years. He said he sang the traditional hymns and, before he had throat problems, was a member of a quartet that sang many contemporary songs. “I believe all those who write Christian music are inspired to put down the words and music to praise the Lord,” he said. “I feel they want to present a message in music that praises and worships God, whether the song was written 100 years ago or last week.” Music almost like a sermon Many churches, like Denver First Church of the Nazarene in Cherry Hills Village, have a contemporary service Sunday mornings plus a more traditional evening service. The morning contemporary services display the words of the songs on screens at the front of the church. “We usually select five or six songs from the hymnal,” said Bud Curry, who leads the evening traditional service at the Nazarene church. “Our singing is accompanied by a keyboard and our song leader directs the singing.”

St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch has three Sunday services. At 8 a.m. there is a chapel service and at 9 and 10 a.m. there are sanctuary services, frequently involving an orchestra and choir. But a contemporary service at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday called Wildflower also has a praise band, worship choruses and contemporary hymns. Former area resident Paul Ferrin is doing what he can to introduce younger people to the traditional music of the church. “My wife, Marjorie, and I have been in music ministry for more than 50 years,” he said. “We now do programs called Old-Fashioned Hymn Sings. A church invites us, makes all the preparations and we come in and lead the singing of the hymns of faith.” Ferrin, who now lives in Colorado Springs, said many audience members are older people, but he also has been seeing more young families come to the hymn programs, many of them bringing their children with them. “The modern hymns praise the Lord,” Ferrin said, but he added, “it is tragic that so many young people don’t know anything about the traditional hymns. We enjoy contemporary music, but I don’t want to see it used at the expense of the traditional hymns, (in which) each carries a strong message that is almost a sermon.”

Tuesday’s gray, it’s Friday, I’m in love Everyone marks time his or her way: For football fans, it’s Sundays or Monday nights that are the defining days of their weeks. Movie-lovers long for Wednesdays and Fridays, when they can finally get their fix of the latest cinematic adventures. For as long as I can remember, Tuesday was my defining day. That’s the day new music hit the shelves — and also, later, on the Internet. Knowing I had new music to look forward to dulled the pain of Mondays. It also made the rest of the week go by faster because there were new albums to sample, to love and hate, to form and reform opinions on. By the time I had listened to everything, the weekend had arrived. But in July, that all changed. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry decided new music the world over would be released on Fridays. This was a major sea change for me — requiring a complete restructure of how I organized my week. Since 1989, Tuesday had been the agreedupon release date for music in the U.S. But every country had its own day for new releases: Monday in the UK and Canada, Wednesday in Japan and Friday in Australia and Germany. In the days before the Internet, that didn’t mean much. But once we got to the point when releases could be uploaded online in a matter of minutes and shared with anyone,

well, release dates started to matter a whole lot more. This is why: If someone in England or Canada gets a new release on Monday and uploads it online, why would anyone buy it on a later date when he could just find it for free (albeit Clarke Reader illegally) on torrent LINER sites? That first newNOTES music Friday week was brutal. I had come off an absolutely fantastic Tuesday of music on June 30 with new releases from Vince Staples, The Internet, Meek Mill and Miguel all dropping humdingers. And the next Tuesday, July 7, promised the same great experience with releases from Tame Impala and Future. Instead, everything got pushed back to July 17 to accommodate the change in release dates, and that meant a nearly twoweek dry spell of new music. Future’s new album — when I finally listened to it — opened with a track called “Thought It Was a Drought.” Man, I thought, he wasn’t kidding. The music industry made a big deal about the release-date change over the summer.

SONGS OF SUMMER

CLARKE’S ALBUM OF THE WEEK Selection: Craig Finn’s “Faith in the Future,” released on Partisan Records. Review: The Hold Steady’s lead singer steps out for the second time with another devastating collection of songs about America’s downand-out. Finn brings his characters to life with muscular poetry and inﬁnite empathy. Favorite song: “Christine” Favorite lyric: “I was the ﬁrst to get married/I was the last one to know/And I went down in the darkness/I came to at some show.” From “I Was Doing Fine (Then A Few People Died)”

But unless you’re an avid follower of goingson in the business, you probably didn’t notice. Independent record stores, such as Angelo’s CDs in Wheat Ridge, have been left to grapple with changing logistics and customer confusion. As for me, I’m getting used to new music on Fridays, even if it gets a little lost in the end-of-the-week shuffle: Sound-tracking my weekend to new albums has been a bright side. There is something to be said for pairing weekend adventures with the joy of discovering new albums and artists.

In my Sept. 3 column, I wrote about some of my favorite summer songs and asked readers to send in their choices. Here they are: “The Eye” by Brandi Carlile -Annie Burne, Littleton “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” by James Baskett -Judy Denison, Golden “Summer Nights” by Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta -Nola Drake, Vinton, Iowa “Crushin It” by Brad Paisley -Amber Klein, Denver “Hot Fun in the Summertime” by Sly and the Family Stone -Delores Lynch, Iowa

That feeling — of being on the cusp of delightful revelation — is one reason I love music so much. And it’s comforting to know that feeling isn’t going anywhere.

Clarke Reader’s column on how music connects to our lives appears every other week. A community editor with Colorado Community Media, he is very glad tomorrow is Friday.

Here’s the email he sent: “Bonjour, It has been a great opportunity and pleasure to serve Denver for 34 years. I want to thank you for your patronage. To raise a loving family and run a successful restaurant in Colorado was a rare privilege. I realize how lucky I am. I took the chance to open a French restaurant, with no business plan, serving affordable food and wines on Salvation Army chairs, with friendly non-professional service, no dress code, reservation or credit card, and you loved it. I am very grateful; I could not have done it without an incredible staff and your willingness to try something different. I am glad to be part of your (mostly) good memories, and to have been the stage of so many dates and celebrations Being 65 and a grandfather with 40+ years in the restaurant business (1 restaurateur year = 3 human years) it is time to stop, the 13 of September should be the last day but keep in touch, we may decide to close earlier. Merci Robert Tournier” Denver Center discounts The Denver Center for the Performing Arts is launching two programs that make tickets more accessible. DCPAccess, an

Denver Concert Band opens season Sept. 19

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Denver Concert Band website tells of a group of friends sitting around talking in 1961 — recalling the fun of making music with a band. They found a leader and a small number began practicing in home basements. By 1968, they had 32 members and performed the first concert at Grant Junior High School in Denver. Central Presbyterian in Denver became the band’s home for the next period as the membership grew — including a number of music educators. For 16 years, Jacinda Bouton, a Lone

Tree resident, has been band director and the group of approximately 90 volunteer musicians has made the Lone Tree Arts Center its home base. The band has traveled nationally and internationally. It will open the 2015-2016 season at LTAC with “Spectrum Spectacular! The Colors of Music” at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 19. Colorful projections on the stage backdrop will coordinate with the colorthemed musical selections, which will include: “Red Rocks Fanfare” by John Bogenschultz; “October” by Eric Whitacre; “Colours” by Roger Cichy; “Blue Lake Overture” by John Barnes Chance; and “Yellow” by Marvis Rorie Jr.

The Denver Concert Band, with approximately 90 members, will perform on Sept. 19 at Lone Tree Arts Center. Courtesy photo

Floods of suds as Oktoberfest returns Mayor to kick off Parker festival with keg-tapping

PARKER OKTOBERFEST AT A GLANCE

By Chris Michlewicz cmichlewicz@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Mayor Mike Waid will lead a purposeful procession through O’Brien Park for the ceremonial tapping of the keg to kick off Parker tOktoberfest. - “It’s truthfully one of my favorite events to do,” he said. s The good-cheer traditions that accompa-ny the German festival never seem to get old to the throngs of people bearing steins with varying levels of contents. Now in its 10th year, Parker Oktoberfest continues to grow, and this year as many as 20,000 people are expected to revel in O’Brien Park Sept. 19-20. Organized by the Parker-based Colorado Council of Arts, Science & Culture, the festival celebrates everything that makes German culture unique. First-time visitors can e expect to sample authentic Bavarian delicacies, see men dressed in lederhosen, hear the music of oom-pah bands and watch choreosgraphed dances that have been passed down dthrough generations. y Waid enjoys tapping the inaugural keg while Miss Oktoberfest catches the spilling suds in a large glass boot. It’s followed by a celebratory toast with the assembled crowd. “That’s what these events are all about: exposing people to culture and bringing everyone together,” Waid said. This year, organizers put an emphasis on making Parker Oktoberfest more familyfriendly. Beer can be consumed but not pur-

Hours: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Sept. 19; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 20 Location: O’Brien Park, northeast corner of South Parker Road and Mainstreet Attractions: Biergarten, Weingarten, German music and dancing, kids’ pie-eating contest, stein-hoisting, entertainment stage, large tents with seating, inflatables. Things to know: Designate a sober driver, hydrate beforehand, wear your lederhosen. More info: www.parkeroktoberfest.com; parkeroktoberfest@gmail.com

Parker Oktoberfest, scheduled for Sept. 19-20 in O’Brien Park, could draw as many as 20,000 people. File photo chased in the expanded “family center” area, which will include more bouncy inflatables, carnival games, spin art and drawing centers, and prizes than ever before. “We really wanted to engage families in that part of the festival,” said Jeff Fox, president of the Colorado Council of Arts, Science & Culture. Speaking of engaging, the competition stage is hosting a variety of events that will induce laughter and create lasting, if not messy, memories. A kids’ pie-eating contest and bubblegum-blowing competition will involve children under 18. Crowds can watch or participate in adult brat-eating and stein-

hoisting contests. Because this year’s stage sponsor is G2 Roofing & Construction in Highlands Ranch, a shingle-hoisting competition has been added to the lineup. Shingles will be added to the outstretched arms of competitors until the last person is standing. Back by popular demand are the large seating tents that were added last year. Whether to avoid the blazing sun or slight drizzle, attendees found solace in the “entertainment center,” which houses the main stage, Biergarten and, for the first time, a Weingarten with wines provided by Parkerbased Purgatory Cellars Winery. “It’s just like with any festival: When you

have places for folks to sit down and enjoy the experience, you tend to have a bigger crowd,” said Fox, whose favorite part of Oktoberfest is observing the intriguing customs. Because the event has grown, Parker Oktoberfest’s footprint was expanded within O’Brien Park two years ago with positive results; overcrowding is no longer an issue. VIPs will get a sneak preview on Sept. 18 and be treated to a concert by the Denver Brass. Parker Oktoberfest is the largest annual fundraiser for the nonprofit Colorado Council of Arts, Science & Culture, which also receives some Scientific and Cultural Facilities District funding. CCASC, formerly the Parker Arts Council, helps fund science and artrelated projects undertaken by local groups.

CURTAIN TIME Meteorological musical “Singin’ in the Rain” will play on the PACE Center Mainstage from Sept. 25 to Oct. 11. The venue is at 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., Parker.

Thomas the Tank Engine rolls into metro area By Christy Steadman csteadman@coloradocommunitymedia.com Donald Tallman of the Colorado Railroad Museum believes there’s something about trains that’s hard-wired into children. Which makes it even more exciting when Thomas the Tank Engine chugs into town. “Thomas is a rock star for the preschoolers,” said Tallman, the museum’s executive director. Thomas will be at Golden’s Colorado Railroad Museum for Day Out with Thomas: The Celebration Tour 2015 for the next two weekends, Sept. 19 and 20 and Sept. 26 and 27. “The Thomas brand is one that people have a great deal of affection for,” Tallman said. “Thomas is like us, in the sense that he has his good qualities, but he also has his faults.” Thomas the Tank Engine is the star of the popular “Thomas & Friends” series, now in its 70th year. The main attraction is a train ride with Thomas the Tank Engine on a nearly halfmile track, which lasts about 25 minutes. Children will also be able to meet the char-

acter Sir Topham Hatt. People can enjoy the Imagination Station, too, Tallman said. In the station, children can interactively play with Thomas-themed toys or do arts and crafts. In addition, there will be a petting zoo, a magician, storytellers, a viewing tent showing Thomas videos, sing-a-longs, a fire truck for children to tour, and food and merchandise vendors. The event is fun for everyone, said Al Blount, vice president of the Colorado Railroad Museum’s board. Blount will be serving as Thomas’ conductor for the 13th year. His favorite part, he said, is watching the excitement on kids’ faces. The tour is in its 20th year, and this is the 14th year the Colorado Railroad Museum will host Thomas. “We’ve seen generations of children come through the years,” Tallman said. Each year, he overhears someone reminiscing with their children about the experience of playing with Thomas when he or she was a child. “It’s a great family bonding opportunity,” Tallman said. “Thomas builds lifetime, family memories.”

Sculpture brings new beauty to Gardens ‘Red Dress’ by Shohini Ghosh is a bronze piece created in 2011

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com Just west of the Victorian Lily Pond at Hudson Gardens, a slender figure dances in a small conifer grove. It is a bronze sculpture, “Red Dress,” by Highlands Ranch sculptor Shohini Ghosh, placed on Sept. 8 by South Suburban Park and Recreation’s sculpture on loan program. Kathryn McMurray, chairman of South Suburban’s public art committee, introduced Ghosh, who said she created this piece in 2011 and was happy to see it in a garden. (It fits so well, one would think it was designed for this location.) The district arranges with sculptors to borrow a piece for a particular placement in the district’s property, for a year, with the understanding that it is for sale. There are also sculptures in front of the Goodson Center, for example. Rich Meredith, Hudson Gardens’ executive director, announced that the Gardens would indeed buy the piece, ensuring that it could dance in place long after the one-year loan period is up. Shohini Ghosh, who is a longtime Highlands Ranch resident with her husband and family, studied art in India and lectured at the University of Mumbai after she earned her master’s degree in art. She says in her website: “I create sculptures in bronze that can best be described as figurative, stylistic representations of simple moments in life, a zeitgeist of my surroundings. I use the human body to express and create physical images as a metaphor for the language of the soul (life-force), the illustration of our uniqueness as a human race, our quest to build

families, communities and societies that define our existence … an individual quest to record the most precious moments in the spectrum of human emotion and interaction.” (Many women probably can recall the absolute joy of a new dress that made one want to dance and swirl.)

Top-ranked Bruins nip Pomona Bruins make enough plays to win defensive struggle By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek coach Dave Logan knows what it is like to play against talented football teams. “When you play top-caliber teams, there’s not going to be an abundance of huge plays,” he said. “It’s a double buckle. You buckle your chin strap twice, and that was the kind of game it was.” Logan was referring to the Bruins’ 7-6 win over Pomona Sept. 11 at North Area Athletic Complex in a marquee game between Creek, ranked No. 1 in the CHSAANow.com Class 5A poll, and the secondranked Panthers. “If I wasn’t coaching, this would have been a good game to watch,” added Logan. “It was two real good defensive teams. It was one of those old-fashioned games. It could have gone either way. We were fortunate to come out with a win.” Key moments After missing two field goals and trailing 6-0, Creek recovered a fumbled punt and mounted a 63-yard, 12-play drive. Ammon Johnson caught an 8-yard TD pass from quarterback Joe Caplis with 2:07 to play in the third quarter. “I thought it was a favorable matchup for us,” explained Logan of the third-down scoring pass called after a timeout. “Joe put the ball right on the mark and Ammon ran a beautiful route. You make plays when you have to make plays. We made enough plays on offense to find a way to win.” Charlie Scott’s extra point pushed the Bruins ahead 7-6, but Pomona had a chance on its next drive as the Panthers moved to the Creek 13-yard line. Cherry Creek’s defense stiffened as Pomona lost 11 yards and Tyler Thimsen’s 42-yard field goal fell short. Key players/statistics The teams managed a combined 149 yards total offense in the first half, but the offensive production picked up in the second half. Creek finished with 250 offensive yards compared to 170 for the Panthers. Caplis completed 11 of 30 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. Ashton Riley,

Cherry Creek’s Dimitri Stanley hauls in a pass by Joe Caplis with Pomona’s Jeremy Gonzales in pursuit during the Sept. 11 game. Photo courtesy of Jack Eberhard filling in for JC Chery, sidelined for the season after suffering an ankle injury in the Bruins’ win over Regis Jesuit, carried the ball 26 times for 111 yards. Pomona sophomore Max Borghi caught a screen pass from Ryan Marquez, avoided three Bruins tacklers and raced 55 yards for the Panthers touchdown. But the extra point kick was blocked. Borghi had an 80-yard run in the second quarter nullified by a holding penalty. They said it “We miss his strength and explosiveness,” said Logan about Chery. “Our backup tailback against Pomona was one of our of backup quarterbacks (Trey Windham). He gave us some tough yards. He

had never played running back before.” Riley, who often twisted for additional yards after being hit, said he didn’t feel it was next-player-up when Chery was injured. “I knew I had to carry a big load,” he said. “Me and JC are neck and neck. He’s out so I have to do a lot better. It was tough running against Pomona.” “I knew we could hold them,” said Creek’s junior defensive lineman Jonathan VanDiest when asked about the Bruins’ fourth quarter stand which forced the Panthers to miss a potential go-ahead field goal. “Most of our guys are returning from last year.” Pomona coach Jay Madden blamed himself for calling a third down pass that ended up being a sack, which forced Thim-

sen to attempt a 42-yard field goal instead of a shorter attempt. “I should have run the ball, get three or four yards and then kick it,” Madden said. “Instead we try to go for the score. We should have got four or five yards and got him closer.”

Going forward Creek (3-0) will have to double buckle again when the Bruins travel to Sandy, Utah, Sept. 18 to play unbeaten Jordan (4-0), a team that is averaging 44.5 points a game. Pomona (1-1), which opened its season with a win over previously topranked Valor Christian, plays Mullen Sept. 18. “You want to make sure you are playing the best late in the season,” said Logan.

Creek’s varsity makes good first impression New-look Bruins beat Mountain Vista in boys tennis By Jim Benton jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com Cherry Creek tennis coach Art Quinn had his No. 1 boys varsity team together for the first time in a Sept. 8 dual meet at Mountain Vista, and there was a different look to the Bruins. Last year’s No. 1 singles player is in school but isn’t playing. Another Creek varsity player transferred and a No. 3 doubles player from a year ago is now at No. 1 singles. Still, Creek defeated Vista 7-0 in a match between one of the state’s top teams and one of the best teams in the Continental League. “Our No. 1 singles player, Ethan Hillis, chose not to play this year to focus on his academics,” said Quinn. “We had another varsity player transfer out to a boarding school, but we have a fine group of kids.” Still, nothing has changed according to Vista coach Jim Flanigan who was a Bruins assistant coach in 2004-05. Cherry Creek has won 40 of the 43 state championships since 1972. “Creek is the perennial best team in the state,” he said. “Not that the teams we’ve played are horrible, they are not to the level of Cherry Creek. Very few teams in the state are ever at the level of Cherry Creek.”

Key moments All the other matches were done with Creek claiming victories but the Bruins’ Ryan James and Vista’s Ben Antonsen were competing in the third set of a No. 1 singles match with players from both teams applauding each winning shot. Antonsen, second two years ago at No. 2 singles and a quarterfinalist last season at No. 1 singles in the Class 5A state tournament, held a 5-2 lead. James, a 2014 No. 3 doubles champion, refused to waive a white flag and pulled out a 7-5 victory in the decisive set. “I can take a lot of lessons from the match,” said Antonsen. “I had to close him when I had the chances, keep my foot on the pedal. I can play with the best players in the state. I just need to make sure to keep that level up, the same with our whole team. We’re right there, we just have to keep the level up the whole match.” They said it “We are expected to win,” said Cherry Creek No. 2 singles player Robby Hill, who was a runner-up in the state No. 3 singles title match last season. “People are always going to be against us because we’ve done so well. We do have a lot of pressure. I like it because it’s good to stay focused. We’ll have a really good team by the end of the season.” “We’ve got a talented team,” said Quinn. “We had a class of freshmen three

Cherry Creek’s Ryan James, who played No. 3 doubles last season, rallied for a three-set No. 1 singles victory over Mountain Vista’s Ben Antonsen in a Sept. 8 match at Mountain Vista. Photo by Jim Benton years ago that are moving their way up the ranks. They are all juniors now. Ryan James at 1, Robbie Hill at 2 and Mitch Johnson is a sophomore at three so we’ve got some youth and a nice lineup of doubles players who are looking to build chemistry and positive energy with one another. Depth is

a key.”

Going forward The Bruins hosted the Cherry Creek Invitational Sept. 12 and faced Eaglecrest in a Sept. 16 dual meet and Overland on Sept. 17.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 14, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful, Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at one time can cause you to create more snarls each time you try to work your way through the tangled mass. Best to handle one job at a time. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Making bold moves is what Bovines do. But the best moves are made with lots of data to provide backup just in case you charge into an unexpected complication. A new relationship shows promise. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharing credit for a job well done is easy for you to do, but not necessarily for your partner. But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be denied the right to have your contributions recognized. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Communication is important to help bridge a gap that can lead to problems at home and/or at the workplace. Find a way to get your points across before the breach becomes a chasm. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships, whether business or personal, need to be watched carefully for signs of trouble. Any negative indications should be dealt with before they become too burdensome. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. A more positive aspect highlights much of the Virgo’s week. You should find others more receptive to your suggestions, and also more likely to act on them. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) All work and little play could wear the Libra’s usually positive attitude down. Take some much-needed time off. Perhaps a short jaunt with someone special is the way to go. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) This is a good time to expand your view from the known to the unfamiliar. Confronting new situations could be challenging, but ultimately also could be extremely satisfying. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Giving advice to those who just want validation for what they’re doing can be unsettling. So back off and save your counsel for those who really appreciate it.

Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Cultivating a more positive attitude not only makes you feel better about yourself, but also has an upbeat effect on those around you, especially that certain someone. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Keeping the lines of communication open and accessible is the key to establishing the right foundation on which to build an important and meaningful relationship. Stay with it. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before agreeing to act on a request, consider using your perceptive Piscean talents to see what might lie hidden beneath its surface and could possibly cause problems later on.

By Corrie Sahling csahling@coloradocommunitymedia.com In celebration of national Talk Like a Pirate Day, the city of Northglenn is throwing a pirate festival. The two-day festival on Sept. 17 and 18 is brand new this year and is expected to be busting at the seams with costumes, pirate talk and activities for the whole family. Here is a breakdown of the weekend’s events: Pirate Ball Friday evening’s festivities on Sept. 17 are for adult pirates only. Organizers have warned children tagging along will be thrown overboard. Come dressed as your most formal pirate self and be prepared for a costume contest. The night will feature food, drinks, circus performers and a live band. And, of course, a pirate ball wouldn’t be complete without a treasure hunt. The ball will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at Northglenn’s E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, 11701 Community Center Drive. Pirate Festival The merriments on Saturday, Sept. 18, are for the whole gang. There will be many kid-friendly activities, including treasure hunts, archery ranges and a costume contest just for little ones. A highlight of the day will be the Cardboard Regatta — teams of pirates are being put to the test to make a boat completely out of cardboard, tape and paint to race across the water at E.B. Rains while avoiding obstacles like cannonballs and skeletons. The festival runs from 10

a.m.-7 p.m., also at E.B. Rains Park. Be the best-dressed pirate For men: Typical dress includes a poet shirt, long pants on the baggy side with no pockets or zipper, a waistcoat and knee-high boots. For women: Normal garments include a blouse with puffy sleeves, a bodice or a corset, harem pants or bloomers with leggings underneath and knee-high boots that are not high heels. Other tips: Pirates were known for mixand-match textures and colors — the best colors are earth tones.
