5 questions for Matai Naqica Junior golfer’s team from Centennial took third in PGA Junior League Regional BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
I
n an era where it’s common to hear that golf ’s popularity with young people is in decline, 12-year-old Matai Naqica is digging his heels into the sport. Naqica is a member of the Timm Golf Academy AllStars, a team based in Centennial that recently finished third at the PGA Junior League Regional in Texas. Before that, the team took the Colorado Section Championship at Thorncreek Golf Course in Thornton. The seventh-grader at Laredo Middle School said his ultimate dream would be to play professional golf. Naqica, who lives in Centennial, answered a few questions about his life and the game he loves.
How did you first get into golf? It all started when I was little and my dad pressed the wrong button on the TV remote. It switched to the Golf Channel. When he
1
changed the channel back to cartoons, I started to scream and cry. Then, when he switched the channel back to golf, I was fine again. My dad never knew about golf until I started to play. My grandfather bought me my first club when I was 3 years old, and I’ve been playing golf ever since. I was in third grade when I met Rick Timm for the very first time. We were doing this golf session at my elementary school, and he was impressed with my skills. Coach Rick wanted me to play in the U.S. Kids Golf Local Tour. After a year of playing on that, Coach Rick asked me to join his PGA Jr. League team in 2016. After the league matches, Coach Rick selected me to join his All-Star team. What’s your favorite memory with the team? When my team shot one of the lowest scores in the country, of -18. My teammate, Yusuke Ogi, and I shot a 29 (-7). We had a ton of pizza afterwards and topped the day off with some ice cream.

phy, and it was worth all the training I put in this summer. What has kept golf interesting to you and your teammates? Golf is a social sport and it is fun! I enjoy hanging out with friends on the golf course and it feels good when you shoot a low score. Golf is my life — I don’t ever want to give it up. My goal is to play college golf, and my ultimate dream would be to play golf professionally. I look up to Tony Finau because it looks like he is always having fun on the golf course and he bombs the ball.

It was a great achievement for my team and one of the best days of my life. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced in playing golf? My biggest challenge was winning the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado Championship this year.

I was pretty much in last place in the championship last year. This year, I was down five strokes after the first day and in fifth place. On the last five holes of the second day, I holed out for eagle and birdied three more holes. I shot a 69 and ended up winning by two strokes. I got a huge tro-
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not practicing or playing? Sports stacking (cup stacking) and basketball are the other sports I play competitively. I also like to watch rugby, play board games with my family like Golfopoly (way better than Monopoly), travel to new places and play video games.

A
rturo Garcia isn’t from the American West, but he was captivated by its distinctive lands and deep history. “Colorado is a beautiful state — it’s easy to get inspired by the mountains, the lakes,” said Garcia, 43, a Littleton-area artist currently featured at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. Originally from Mexico, Garcia has lived in Colorado for the last 10 years, and his painting changed when he relocated. Enthralled by the history of bison and their place in Native American culture, he set out to highlight that relationship with his art. One piece of that is the colorful dots painted on the bison
in his work, which represent their spirit, he said. Native tribes “flourished with the buffalo being a central part in their lives,” Garcia said, noting the use of the animal for food, utensils, tools and even spiritual connection. The influx of European settlers in the West led to a decline in the bison population, and Garcia wants his audience to be interested in the history and conservation of the animal. “I find it beneficial to know about our dark parts (in history), so we can learn about and not repeat them,” Garcia said. “As an artist, I’m somewhat responsible to paint a subject that sheds light on truth, to inspire consciousness, to act in fairness.” Garcia’s work will be featured at the recreation center at 6315 S. University Blvd. until Sept. 28, and the pieces are for sale. His work can also be found at Willow — An Artisan’s Market at 2400 W. Main St. in Littleton. More information on Garcia is available at www.arturogarciafineart.com.

6th Congressional District a national nail-biter Coffman faces Democratic challenger Crow in battleground BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In a wide slice of the Denver suburbs — including a city where one in five people is foreign-born — Democrats have not been able to edge out Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman, who might as well be made of Teflon, according to political pundits. Public-school students speak more than 160 languages in the district’s anchor, Aurora, a place where voters strongly favor Democrats. In conventional political wisdom, the 6th Congressional District should have flipped blue long ago — the question on the national radar is if 2018 is the year it finally will. Democratic challenger Jason Crow, in an election season over which Republican President Donald Trump looms large, hopes so. But analysts say Coffman has a strong foothold even in the more diverse parts of his district. “Coffman’s political obituary has been written a number of times,” said Seth Masket, a political science professor at the University of Denver. But Coffman, a military veteran who grew up in the heart of Aurora, has persisted against well-known Democratic challengers. He won the seat in 2008 and has been re-elected four times. “I know the district,” said Coffman, rattling off a list of communities that include vegetable farmers and people of Indian descent focused on the U.S.’s high-tech visa program. “I certainly understand the diversity of the district.”
In addition to Aurora, the district includes south suburbs like Centennial, Littleton and Highlands Ranch, which are strongly Republican, and to the north, Brighton and part of Thornton, which are part of decidedly blue Adams County. Aurora accounts for about 44 percent of the district’s roughly 815,000 people. One of Crow’s main jabs is to paint Coffman as being in lockstep with Trump and out of touch with the people of the district. “Talk is cheap,” Crow said. “People want someone more than who’s going to show up for the photo op.” It’s a charge the congressman’s campaign vehemently denies. Whether that point resonates — and how much of a role voters’ feelings about Trump can stoke a “blue wave” — may be part of the puzzle of predicting victory in this nationally watched district.
one outside of politics with a military background, that seems to be a formula Democrats have been drawing on a lot this year” across the country. The past two Democrats who ran against Coffman were Andrew Romanoff in 2014 and Morgan Carroll in 2016, both of whom were established politicians after having served in the state Legislature. Romanoff served as state House speaker and Carroll as state Senate president.
As goes CD6 ... Which way the district leans will have implications that ring out far beyond Colorado, one veteran pundit said. “If Coffman is defeated, it will definitely mean that the Democrats are going to take the U.S. House,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. “If he survives, it means Republicans have a fighting chance to keep the House.” In pushing a candidate who has never run for public office before, Democrats are playing to a broader strategy, Masket said. Crow, a former Army Ranger, served in Afghanistan and Iraq. “They’ve clearly decided if they’re going to appeal to moderates in this district, they should try someone different,” Masket said. “The idea of some-
Colorado. But don’t count Coffman out, pundits say. In a district where President Barack Obama won by 5 points in 2012, and Hillary Clinton beat Trump by 9 points, Coffman still won his races in both elections — in 2016, by 8 points. Many voted for Clinton while also voting for Coffman, Wadhams said. The 6th District once comprised only a portion of Aurora and was mainly made up of GOP strongholds, encompassing almost the entire south metro

Why such a toss-up? In what’s often referred to as a “purple state,” the district has attracted national attention. The Cook Political Report, a prominent, nonpartisan newsletter that analyzes elections, lists the district as one of 30 toss-ups in the country — and the only one in
area, including Castle Rock on the Financial data for the south end and period ending June 30, according to the Federal Elbert County Election Commission: to the east. But after a redrawJason Crow ing of the • Total receipts (contribu- lines in 2011, tions and other money the district inreceived): $2,265,000 cludes Aurora and stretches • Ending cash on hand: north all the $1,295,000 way to parts of Adams Mike Coffman County.

Coffman didn’t wait to get with the times. “He’s got a sort of flexibility to him,” Masket said. “He got elected to a conservative district that changed its stripes considerably after redistricting.” Coffman has been aggressive in reaching out to minority communities in the district, Masket added. As Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst, put it: “Whether you’re talking Ethiopian or Russian Jewish (communities), he does not show up once every election cycle — he shows up repeatedly. He went out and taught himself Spanish.”

That repositioning included adjusting his politics, Sondermann added. “It’s the whole shebang: his voting record” included, Sondermann said. Coffman picks “a number of symbolic moments” to distance himself from Republicans, or Trump specifically, Masket said, notably on the recent policy of separating families on a large scale at the U.S.-Mexico border, which drew a sharp rebuke from Coffman. He’s taken a different tone on immigration since the district changed, Wadhams said. How competitive? Pundits view Coffman as more vulnerable than in past
years, but not dead in the water. “My thought is, it’s like I’m from Missouri: I’m tired of Democrats telling me they’re going to win it,” Sondermann said. “It’s time to start showing me.” But 2018 serves up the toughest backdrop Coffman has faced, given backlash against Trump, Sondermann said. As seen in Colorado’s primary race for governor in June, it seems increasingly that local races are focused on national issues, Masket said. “A lot of this vote is going to be determined simply by how people feel about the president, about national politics,” Masket said. Despite Colorado’s tilt as a “light-blue state in a deepblue year,” as Sondermann put it, Wadhams would bet on Coffman to win because of his entrenchment in diverse com-
munities. If he lost, “it would be less about Coffman and more about a national blue wave,” Wadhams said. He added: “What we didn’t have two years ago is a Republican president whose approval ratings are upside-down in Colorado.” On the issues Where Coffman has adjusted, Crow, a lawyer who spoke at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, seeks to repaint Coffman as a hard-line conservative tied closely to Trump, rather than his constituents. “There’s a very big difference between the Mike Coffman they see … and the Coffman that goes to D.C. and votes with Donald Trump 96 percent” of the time, Crow said. That statistic comes from analysis by FiveThirtyEight, a prominent data-based political
outlet, which says Coffman has voted in line with Trump that often since January 2017. Coffman’s campaign said the statistic is misleading because it includes routine matters, like approving Defense Department funding. FiveThirtyEight’s tracker does include more salient votes, like one to penalize states and localities that have so-called “sanctuary” immigration laws, for which Coffman voted. Tyler Sandberg, Coffman’s campaign manager, said Coffman has broken with Trump on issues like health care and sanctioning Russia. Both national issues, like immigration and gun control, and local issues like housing costs will likely play a role in the race, Wadhams said. Crow wants to cast it as a test of leadership and what he says is Coffman’s “broken promise” to stand up to Trump
— a stance Coffman took in a 2016 ad. “In the Army, I served with folks from every race, every religion” and urban and rural areas, Crow said. “It didn’t matter where we came from — we focused on the mission and we got it done.” He said he could accomplish goals better than a “career politician.” Coffman said he wasn’t sure what issue would arise as most important in the race because Crow’s campaign has been about “linking me to President Trump.” “It’s more about politics for him,” Coffman said. If Coffman survives this test, it may be the last time Democrats make a strong push in the district, Sondermann said. “If the Democrats are ever going to get him, this is the year,” Sondermann said, “but we’ve heard that from the Democrats before.”
Old latex paint? Don’t flip out! Dry it out! Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away. If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint. Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

A petition to stop a move by the Centennial City Council to allow for new car dealerships on East Arapahoe Road in the central part of town was due by Sept. 17, and the city will likely announce in mid-October if petitioners reached the roughly 4,100 signatures necessary to send the issue to a special election. Two petitioners, Mike Glass and Rhonda Livingston, brought forth the petition effort, according to Jill Meakins, one of two petitioners who pushed against the city on a similar issue in 2016. Meakins and other residents in the area of the Central Arapahoe Road Corridor — roughly between South Parker Road and Interstate 25 — have expressed desire for other uses to fill vacant land in the nearly built-out stretch of the city, where car dealerships are the defining feature of the thoroughfare for blocks. “We would rather see a restaurant there, or a mini-downtown,” said resident Annette Jewell, in a previous interview along with Meakins. Her desires echoed those of other residents who say they want different kinds of development — theaters, restaurants or other shopping, for example, that could benefit more families — on their central street. Former Mayor Cathy Noon has argued medical uses would be preferable. The pushback to the council’s 5-4 split decision on Aug. 13 echoes the previous fight over development on Arapahoe Road in 2016, when Meakins and now-Councilmember Tammy Maurer pushed a petition that stopped the city from allowing more car dealerships, among other types of businesses. Now, this petition — specifically concerning dealerships — could send the issue to a special election, likely in March, to approve or vote down the council’s ordinance. The city has 30 days to verify whether the petition has enough proper signatures from registered voters. It needs about 5 percent of voters in the city to sign. If it hits the mark, the council could choose to repeal the ordinance and possibly pass some kind of compromise, like it did after the 2016 petition, to avert the need for an election. Claims of influence Critics of the anti-dealership push claim that outside interests are involved. The company that owns a piece of land intended for a Mercedes-Benz outlet on Arapahoe Road is among those detractors. Ron Ferris, CEO of Pennsylvaniabased Bobby Rahal Automotive Group, has claimed that most of the people collecting signatures for the 2016 petition were paid for, essentially, by the Mercedes-Benz of Littleton, and that it was behind a mailer around this spring that opposed the city’s current green-
lighting of dealerships, too. Ferris argues Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, a law firm that has represented the Littleton dealership, pulled the strings in supporting the pushback in 2016 and this year. He claimed Meakins said in June that she got a call from the law firm, asking if it could use a website — citizensforabettercentennial.org, which opposes dealerships — on its mailer. “I’ve had no communication with a law firm for another dealership,” Meakins has said, adding that there’s no truth to the idea a law firm sent out mailers she was involved with. Mercedes-Benz of Littleton filed a lawsuit in late 2016 over the potential Centennial dealership, alleging it would bring unfair competition. That dealership did not respond for comment after a phone call and emailed questions about Ferris’ statements. Lara Day, spokeswoman for Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, said the law firm did not have a comment on Ferris’ statements. Financial transparency The city does not have records as to financial backing of the 2016 petition because under campaign rules, there was no required filing, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman. Supporters or opponents of a ballot question — in this case, asking voters to support or decline the council’s move to allow dealerships — are required to register as what’s called an “issue committee” under state and municipal law if they are: • A group of two or more individuals, a business, or both, and • Have accepted or made contributions or expenditures of $200 or more to support or oppose that ballot question; or have printed more than 200 petition sections (copies of a petition) or more than 200 petition sections have been accepted. But the city said that the requirements only come into play if the actual election is set to happen. According to Lynn Bartels, spokeswoman for the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, financial reporting requirements kick in once a petition is submitted for approval to be circulated — in other words, when people are allowed to collect signatures. Payments before that point would not require reporting, according to the office. All municipal filings under campaignfinance law are filed with the Centennial city clerk and posted on the city’s website, the city said.
Influx of dealers unlikely Ferris is looking to open the dealership near East Arapahoe Road and South Potomac Street, at 13831 E. Arapahoe Place. Only two sites adjacent to Arapahoe Road in the corridor are vacant and at least five acres in size — a requirement for a dealership development — so possible locations for new dealerships are limited, according to Derek Holcomb, deputy director of community development for the city.

Attorney general candidates clash over credentials in debate Debate in Grand Junction also featured candidates for treasurer, secretary of state ASSOCIATED PRESS
Colorado’s major party candidates for attorney general engaged in their first debate over their respective credentials in their race to succeed Republican Cynthia Coffman. The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel reports that Republican George Brauchler and Democrat Phil Weiser challenged each other’s experience during the Sept. 8 debate sponsored by Club 20, an Brauchler association of counties in western Colorado. Brauchler is the 18th Judicial District attorney widely known for prosecuting Aurora theater shooter James Holmes. Weiser is a former University of Colorado law school dean who served as a deputy attorney general Weiser under President Barack Obama. He also clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justices Byron White and Ruth Bader Ginsburg and served in the Justice Department under President Bill Clinton. “My career has been one of service, starting in the Supreme Court, working in the Justice Department under two presidents,’’ Weiser said at the debate in Grand Junction. “The attorney general is the protector of Colorado ... and I have spent my entire life as a defender, a protector,’’ Brauchler countered. “A defense attorney, a prosecutor, I’ve been a civil plaintiffs lawyer, a civil defense lawyer, I’ve been a military prosecutor and a
military defense lawyer. I have tried cases at every single level, municipal, state, federal and military.’’ Coffman, who was elected in 2014, mounted an unsuccessful bid for her party’s gubernatorial nomination this year. Candidates for state treasurer and secretary of state as well as Colorado’s expansive 3rd Congressional District also debated in Grand Junction. Brian Watson, CEO of an investment firm and the Republican treasurer candidate, questioned whether Democratic state Rep. Dave Young had the business experience needed for the position. “The role of the treasurer of Colorado is different than the founder and CEO of a company,’’ Watson said. “You have to understand that what goes up comes down, and somebody like you who has never invested your own capital alongside other people to try to make return, you may not understand the risk and reward.’’ Young cited his work as a member of the legislature’s powerful Joint Budget Committee. “I have an actual fiduciary responsibility to the state, like the treasurer’s office, so I actually have that experience,’’ he said. Democrat Jena Griswold, an attorney seeking to unseat Republican Secretary of State Wayne Williams, declared that the office should do a better job of helping businesses register. “Excellent suggestion,’’ Williams responded. “We just did it.’’ Williams and the office of Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper created a website this year to guide entrepreneurs through each step of the business registration process.

Breathtaking views for lung association Run the Rocks STAFF REPORT
Thousands of runners, walkers and volunteers are expected for Run the Rocks, an American Lung Association event to raise awareness and money in the fight for clean air and healthy lungs. Run the Rocks includes a 5K run/walk and a 10K run with a finish on the steps of Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Live local bands perform and awards are presented to the top fundraising teams and individuals and for the fastest race finishers. The event begins at 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 14. Early registration costs of $45 for the 5K and $55 for the 10K are offered through Oct. 5. Day-of registration costs increase to $50 for the 5K and $60 for the 10K. Through Run the Rocks, the American Lung Association is championing the
fight for clean air and healthy lungs. While the Clean Air Act has helped to improve the air quality of the United States, much work is still to be done here. Denver is the 11th worst city in the country for ozone pollution and last year, and Denver County received a Grade F for particle pollution, according to a news release. The goal of Run the Rocks is to raise nearly $100,000 to support research and lung health programs in Colorado. Whether running as a part of a healthy lifestyle, to beat a previous time, or in honor of all those affected by lung disease, participants are joining a great cause and making a difference towards ending lung disease and improving our air.

Colorado’s Office of Suicide Prevention works to build resources, spur action BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Suicide in Colorado is often talked about in terms of statistics — the state is consistently in the top 10 in the country for suicide deaths. But to Sarah Brummett, the director of the state Office of Suicide Prevention, the real story is not in numbers, but in working to impact the lives of the individual people struggling with suicidal thoughts. “It’s about so much more than prevention and intervention,” Brummett said. “That’s like waiting for someone to show up in the emergency room with a heart attack, rather than talking about the lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease. We’ve got to talk about community health and wellness, about seeing suicide as part of a web of issues.” Brummett leads an office at the forefront of coordinating resources to address the state’s stubbornly high suicide rate, and during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — she works to communicate the office’s efforts. The statistics compiled by her office are disquieting: 1,175 Coloradans died by suicide in 2017, the highest number ever, and about twice as many as died in car wrecks. Colorado’s suicide rate was at 20.9 per 100,000 in 2017, compared to a national rate of 13.4 per 100,000. Digging down further reveals other disturbing trends: Suicide is the leading cause of death among youths and young adults ages 10 to 24, and the seventh-leading cause of death for all Coloradans. There are many ways to parse the statistics: Men are far more likely to die by suicide than women. Nearly 90 percent of suicide victims are under the influence of one or more drugs at the time of death. Certain trades have higher rates of suicide, including construction workers and emergency first responders. Resilience and recovery Looking at the death rates, however, paints a poor picture of those who experience suicidal ideation, Brummett said. “For every one suicide, there are hundreds who have been there and moved past it,” Brummett said. “There is recovery happening every day. The stories of hope and resilience aren’t those getting told, but those are the ones we need to hear.” Creating more of those stories is the goal of the Zero Suicide Model, a program that seeks to spread suicide prevention and intervention training throughout a person’s support network, said Linda Newell, a former
ALARMING NUMBERS According to the 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado survey, 7 percent of Colorado high schoolers reported attempting suicide in the prior year. Among heterosexual students, the rate was 5.1 percent, but among gay, lesbian and bisexual students, the rate was 19.9 percent. The 2015 survey found that a third of transgender students reported attempting suicide in the prior year. Youths who have an adult to go to for help are 3.5 times less likely to attempt suicide, according to the state Office of Suicide Prevention. Colorado’s overall suicide rate is 20.9 per 100,000 people, but the rate among veterans was 38.7 per 100,000 in 2015, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs. More than a quarter of people who died by suicide between 2012-2016 were engaged in some form of mental health treatment at the time of their death, according to data from the Colorado Violent Death Reporting System. The same report also found that a third of suicide victims were experiencing problems with an intimate partner prior to death, 28 percent were experiencing problems with alcohol, and 14.3 percent had financial problems.
REACHING OUT If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a mental health crisis, there are resources available. The Suicide Prevention Lifeline provides free confidential support to people in crisis, or their family members or friends: 1-800-2738255 or suicidepreventionlifeline.org The National Alliance on Mental Illness Colorado, or NAMI, provides mental health care referrals and support at 303-321-3104. You can also reach a trained counselor on the Crisis Text Line by texting NAMI to 741-741. Visit the state Office of Suicide Prevention’s website Man Therapy for resources geared toward men in crisis at mantherapy.org. state senator who authored legislation that implemented the program. “We were finding that there were missed opportunities for intervention,” said Littleton resident Newell. “A quarter of the people who complete suicide end up in front of their primary care doctor within a month before they do it, but there was no talk about suicide. The myth that talking about it will encourage someone to do it doesn’t hold true — just the opposite.” The program holds Zero Suicide Academies, building the skills of doctors, first responders, counselors, therapists and faith leaders to learn how to broach the subject with people, and how to respond and steer them to SEE SUICIDE, P11

IN THEIR BUSINESS Consignment store opens A Denver entrepreneur, mother and philanthropist has come out of retirement to open a women’s consignment store in Centennial. Jonna Tellinghuisen, 52, opened The Style Encore in early September, just a few years after selling and retiring from her 5,000-plus herd, family-run dairy farm at age 49. An entrepreneur from an early age, Tellinghuisen was just 24 when she owned Customizing Accounting Software. She then became a wife and mother of four daughters, before buying and running the dairy farm. The Style Encore will buy and sell gently used apparel, shoes, handbags and accessories. Unlike a typical consignment store, no appointment is necessary to sell clothing and accessories, and it pays cash on the spot for goods it purchases from consumers. Truly a family affair, Tellinghuisen will run it with her husband, Leon, their four daughters, her sister, her two nieces, and several other family members. Style Encore is at 8223 S. Quebec St. in Centennial. Counseling office opens Starting Today, which provides substance use/addiction assessment, outpatient and recovery services, recently opened at 2305 E. Arapahoe Road, Suite 122, near the Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial. Starting Today is licensed as a substance use disorder center and offers Level I DUI Education, Level II DUI Education and Level II DUI Therapy

resources. Men and guns Other programs developed or overseen by the Office of Suicide Prevention work to target specific aspects of the state suicide rate. Nearly four times more men die by suicide than women, for instance, spurring the creation of Man Therapy, a website geared toward reaching men in crisis. “That higher rate has a lot of causes,” Brummett said. “It’s about the pressures on a man — what it means to be masculine. Men are less likely to seek out and receive any type of mental health service. We have to meet them where they are rather than waiting on them to knock on the door of mental health services.” Other initiatives address methods of suicide. The Colorado Gun Shop Project, for example, seeks to engage what Brummett called “the firearm community” to spread prevention tactics — mainly encouraging friends and family to remove access to guns from people who are suicidal. The program, which began in New Hampshire, addresses the fact that guns are the most common method of suicide in Colorado, and that nearly 80 percent of gun deaths in the state are suicides. “Owning a firearm doesn’t make you suicidal,” Brummett said. “But if
groups for outpatient services and recovery services including relapse prevention and Intense Outpatient treatment. Owner Shantell McShane works with those involved in the criminal justice system and provides collaborate treatment with probation/parole officers, said a news release. Clients receive an individualized treatment plan during their first visit, and those plans are discussed weekly in groups with focus on achieving and maintaining those goals. Additionally, Starting Today offers free, bi-weekly parent support meetings, led by parents of children struggling with a substance use disorder or in recovery. Meetings are open to the public. Mainstream Boutique opens Mainstream Boutique opened in midSeptember in the Central Park Shops in Highlands Ranch. “I am thrilled to realize my long-term goal of opening my own business,” owner Stacy Ingram, a longtime Douglas County resident, said in a news release. “Mainstream Boutique gives me the opportunity to make a difference in women’s lives. When you have that right outfit on you just feel more confident.” Mainstream Boutique is a national franchise system of 80 independently owned and operated women’s clothing boutiques in 22 states across the central, southern and eastern United States. SEE BUSINESS, P21
you have access to a gun in a time of crisis, you’re more likely to die. You won’t get a second chance to move into that period of recovery.” Finding answers to why Why does Colorado have such a high rate of suicide, and why, in the face of a slew of comprehensive efforts aimed at addressing suicide, don’t the numbers come down? The answers are complex, Brummett said. “We have a fierce, independent spirit in the West,” Brummett said. “It’s fantastic for blazing trails and pushing the limits, but it can be troublesome when we need help. We’ve also got a lot of rural areas, which can lead to isolation from neighbors and mental health care. Also, quite frankly, we have higher rates of gun ownership.” As far as bringing down the numbers, Brummett said she’d love to be able to implement the office’s programs universally across the state, as opposed to a piecemeal fashion limited by funds and resources. Looking ahead, Brummett said she hopes to keep working on more of those connections to other areas of community health and wellness. “Drug abuse,” Brummett said. “Bullying prevention. Child maltreatment prevention. Economic stability. Addressing sexual and domestic violence. Suicide doesn’t happen in a vacuum.” “It’s not an easy topic to talk about, but we’re hoping to give people a roadmap to recovery.”

friends, or customers anywhere on the planet used to be something that we would see in science fiction and now it is an everyday occurrence. It’s such a small world isn’t it? It’s a small world yet a giant world with enormous opportunities everywhere. Somehow, some of us have developed a fear of that great big world out there. We have developed a fear of other people and other countries. We have become suspicious and have started looking and waiting for the bad things to happen. The fact is, most of what we fear and worry about has little merit. The world is filled with much more opportunity, adventure, and amazing experiences than anything worth worrying about or holding us back from enjoying this great big world, and from finding opportunities to go places and experience things we once only dreamed of.
OK. So maybe just one more plug for doing something bigger and better for the world, whether it is locally or globally. When you think about this small world with huge opportunities, listen to the song by Jana Stanfield, “All the Good.” In her song she sings, “I can’t do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good I can do.” Huge opportunities in a small world, in a small country, in a small state, in a small town, and all getting smaller by the day. How about you? Have you had some small world experiences yourself ? Are you experiencing the opportunities the world has to offer? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can experience and enjoy the small world and the enormous opportunities waiting for us, it really will be a better than good week.

Thousands remember 9/11 at Colorado Memorial Stair Climb Red Rocks Amphitheatre event raises money for good causes BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
More than 2,300 people gathered the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11 to “never forget.” The participants of the 2018 Colorado 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb paid tribute to the 343 New York City firefighters and almost 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11 by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. “It’s all about keeping our promise we made to never forget,” said Shawn Duncan, coordinator of the Colorado climb and lieutenant at West Metro Fire. “That’s why we do this every year.” In the 10th year of the climb at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, over 45 fire departments from 25 states and Canada were joined by community members. Each climber wore a badge of one of the firefighters killed on 9/11. The Phoenix Fire Department was one that sent representation to join the climb.

U.S. health officials are sounding the alarm about rising teenage use of e-cigarettes, calling the problem an “epidemic” and ordering manufacturers to reverse the trend or risk having their flavored vaping products pulled from the market. The warning from the Food and Drug Administration on Sept. 12 cited recent data that points to a sharp increase in underage use of the handheld nicotine products, including Juul and others. It marks a shift in the agency’s tone on e-cigarettes. Since last year, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb and
other federal officials have discussed e-cigarettes as a potential tool to wean adult smokers off cigarettes, although that benefit hasn’t been proven. But Gottlieb said in an address at FDA headquarters that he failed to predict the current “epidemic of addiction” among youth, mainly driven by flavored products. “The disturbing and accelerating trajectory of use we’re seeing in youth and the resulting path to addiction must end,” Gottlieb told agency staffers and reporters. “It’s simply not tolerable.” E-cigarettes are vapor-emitting devices that have grown into a SEE VAPING, P15

How to get your garden ready for winter Winter watering, mulching key to keeping plants happy BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Though the scorching summer of 2018 stuck around for a long time, the first freeze is likely just around the corner — usually in mid-October in the Denver area. Here are some tips from Lucinda Greene, the Master Gardener Program coordinator at Arapahoe County’s CSU Extension office, on how to prepare your landscape to hunker down for winter. Turf war “Fall fertilizing is the most important fertilization of the year,” Greene said. “It’s also a great time to aerate. It gives your grass the best chance to start spring with healthy roots.” Consider taking the bag off your lawn mower to let the clips fall where they may, Greene said, and if you have

multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S. despite little research on their long-term effects, including whether they are helpful in helping smokers quit. They’re generally considered a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes. But health officials have warned that nicotine in e-cigarettes is harmful to developing brains. The e-cigarettes typically contain nicotine, and sometimes flavorings like fruit, mint or chocolate. Health advocates have worried about the popularity of vaping products among kids and the potential impact on smoking rates in the future. A government-commissioned report in January found “substantial evidence” that young people who use e-cigarettes are more likely to try cigarettes. Gottlieb cited unreleased federal data and research that he says will be made public in coming months. “We didn’t foresee the extent of what’s now become one of our biggest challenges,” he said, in prepared remarks. “Hindsight, and the data that’s now available to us, fully reveal these trends.” In June, a government survey found teen vaping seemed to be holding steady last year. Some experts were cautious about the results, however. They noted the survey did not ask h specifically about Juul, a sleek, heavily marketed e-cigarette brand that exploded onto the market and accounts for 70 percent of U.S. sales, according to analyst estimates. “I think it became clear to FDA that if they didn’t get their arms around this issue the use of these products by kids across the nation would undo
a mulching mower, consider simply mowing over fallen leaves instead of raking them up to add organic material to the soil. Clean up your act Clean up dead plants from the veggie garden, Greene said, to avoid providing a breeding ground for pests and disease. Resist the urge to till up the ground, though, because that can inadvertently plant weed seeds that may have been sitting on top of the soil. On the other hand, more gardeners are leaving perennial flowers and shrubs alone through the winter to provide extra visual appeal and a shelter for birds, Greene said, and ornamental grasses, sedum and coneflower make a nice decoration in winter months. Mulch madness Adding mulch around perennials and trees — especially recently planted ones — can go a long way toward retaining moisture and regulating temperatures that can fluctuate wildly in winter months, Greene said. “We want to hold in as much mois-
ture as we can,” Greene said. “If we have another dry winter like last year, mulching makes a big difference.” Plan to plant Fall can be a great time to plant, Greene said, especially with local garden centers running great deals on summer stock. “You can absolutely still plant perennials and shrubs,” Greene said. “You can even plant some food crops: garlic, for instance, can go in now. If you’ve got a cold frame or row covers, you can still do lettuce and spinach, almost right up until Christmas.” Water, water everywhere Not enough gardeners water through the winter, Greene said. “It’s really crucial in our arid environment to provide regular water to your landscape plants and lawn,” Greene said. “If this winter is as dry as last year, we’re talking about at least once a month.” If you don’t feel like unrolling all the hoses again, landscaping companies can stop by with a water truck, Greene said, adding that leaving lawns dry through the winter makes
them susceptible to spider mites. Beetle battle Japanese beetles, the scourge of south metro area gardeners, are laying their eggs in the lawn this time of year, Greene said. CSU Extension publishes a lengthy fact sheet on fighting back, but Greene said among the most pollinator-friendly soil treatments are those containing Bacillus thuringiensis — BT for short — and beneficial nematodes. “Keep in mind that the adults can fly a long way,” Greene said. “Just because you treat your yard doesn’t mean all your neighbors did too. You might still see plenty of beetles next year.”
Batten down the hatches There are plenty of other fall chores to do, Greene said, such as wrapping young trees with tree wrap to prevent sunscald, unhooking and cleaning rain barrels, and taking stock of what worked and what didn’t in the garden this year. “It’s a busy time for gardeners,” Greene said.
Caring for our Community by decades of progress,” said Matthew Myers of the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids. His group and several other medical and anti-smoking groups are suing the FDA over a decision to delay federal review of most e-cigarettes. Under regulations developed by the Obama administration, manufacturers were supposed to submit most products for review by August 2018. But last year Gottlieb said he would delay the deadline until 2022. He said both the agency and industry needed more time to prepare. The decision was criticized by antismoking advocates who say e-cigarette makers are targeting kids with candy and fruit flavors and aggressive marketing. Under the Sept. 12 announcement, the five largest e-cigarette manufacturers will have 60 days to produce plans to reverse underage use of their products. The companies sell Vuse, Blu, Juul, MarkTen XL and Logic e-cigarette brands, which account for 97 percent of U.S. e-cigarette sales, according to FDA. San Francisco-based Juul said it is working to prevent underage use of its products but added that flavors can help adult smokers quit cigarettes. “By working together, we believe we can help adult smokers while preventing access to minors,” the company said in a statement. The FDA also announced 1,300 warning letters and fines to online and traditional stores that have illegally sold Juul and other e-cigarettes to minors. Gottlieb criticized e-cigarette companies’ handling of underage use of their products, saying they approached it as “a public relations challenge rather than seriously considering their legal obligations.” “I’m here to tell them today that this prior approach is over,” he said.

Glow at the Gardens at Denver Botanic Gardens.
Mazes, pumpkins and cider make the season pleasin’ BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
T
he only obvious indication that fall is around the corner is Starbucks bringing back its popular pumpkin latte. The heat has still been scorching throughout much of the state, and the cool, crisp fall air has yet to make an appearance. But regardless of the weather, fall is coming, and all across the metro area there is a wealth of fall festivals and events that can appeal to young people and families. Here are some: Corn Maze at Chatfield Farms at the Denver Botanic Gardens Where: 8500 W. Deer Creek Canyon Road, Littleton (west of Wadsworth Boulevard, south of C-470) When: Sept. 21 to Oct. 28. Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sundays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Cost: $14 adults, $12 adult members, $13 students, seniors (65 and up) and military members, $11 children (3-12 years old), $9 child members, and free for children ages 2 and younger. Contact: www.botanicgardens.org/ events/special-events/corn-maze What better way to spend a fall day or evening than at the corn maze at Chatfield Farms at the Denver Botanic Gardens? The large corn maze covers seven acres, and this year it comes with a new
design. DBG spokeswoman Erin Bird says this year’s design was created to thank first responders, and first responders get free admission, while their family members and friends can get in at a membership cost. There’s more to Chatfield Farms besides the corn maze, like human hamster balls and an obstacle course, pony, barrel train and hayrides, films, food and a mini corn maze for the kiddos. “The corn maze at Chatfield Farms is a longstanding fall tradition. There’s always a new design to get lost in,” Bird said. Glow at the Gardens at the Denver Botanic Gardens Where: 1007 York St., Denver When: Oct. 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25. 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Cost: $18 adults, $16 adult members, $14 children (3-15 years old), $10 child members and free for children ages 2 and younger. Contact: botanicgardens.org/ events/special-events/glow-gardens Pumpkins from local farmers light up the Denver Botanic Gardens during Glow at the Gardens. The pumpkins are all real and carved by artists who create aesthetic carvings and larger-than-life sculptures. Glow at the Gardens will feature with hundreds of carved, lit-up pumpkins along with magic tricks, trick-or-treating, games, crafts, a scavenger hunt, a Halloween trivia wheel, storytelling, LED performances and food and beverages. “It’s fun for the whole family. Peo-
Maize in the City Where: 10451 McKay Road, Thornton When: Sept. 28 to Oct. 31. Thursdays, noon to 7 p.m., Fridays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Note: the maze will be open Oct. 8 from noon to 5 p.m. It will also be open on Oct. 24, Oct. 29, and Oct. 30 from noon to 7 p.m. and Oct. 31 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Cost: Cost of general admission was not immediately available, but the mini maze is $5 for children, and family members of the children get free admission to it with the child ticket. Contact: maizeinthecity.com Maize in the City features a 20-acreplus corn maze, along with a customizable smart phone trivia game. Maize in the City wants its guests to “get lost in your own backyard.” Along with the maze, there is a corn launcher, a mini maze for children, a barrel ride, animals, a playground and a pumpkin field filled with hundreds of pumpkins. “Maize in the City is run and operated by a family. We just want to create a space for your family to come out and enjoy the fall season,” Cristina Palombo said. Palombo is the communication director for Maize in the City.
or as long as I can remember, Denver and the surrounding suburbs have been an occasional festival home. Which meant if a young music fan on a budget like myself wanted the festival experience, they were out of luck. For three years, the city hosted the Mile High Music Festival in Commerce City, but due to attendance struggles and a challenging economic climate, it didn’t last. Vans’ Warped Tour almost always made a stop here and Riot Fest visited for a few years, but that was about it. Huge festivals with exotic, overpriced sounding names like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sasquatch became like sites in the Holy Land — you work and save your whole life just for one pilgrimage. Once Denver became the site for a huge influx of COMING young people, it ATTRACTIONS seemed like only a matter of time before the city took another crack at the whole festival thing. “We’ve always enjoyed spending time in Denver, just as fans of the city and as one of Clarke Reader the top-tier music markets in the country. We saw a real opportunity to create something special here,” explained Jonathan Mayers, cofounder of Superfly. Superfly hosts Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Outside Lands in California. “We’ve really been inspired by this community.” Out of that inspiration, Grandoozy was born. And I finally had my first music festival experience. • • • • • Spread out over Overland Park’s 139 acres, Grandoozy was home to three stages and more than 60 musical acts from Sept. 14 through 16. In addition to the musical performances, the festival included everything from food trucks and interactive art installations to a giant recreation of South Park to an 80’s ski lodge. As a music festival first timer, the best thing that hits me about the festival is that it really cuts down on the agonizingly slow wait for a musician to take the stage. On Friday afternoon, I’m able to enjoy Ty Dolla $ign’s blend of sweat-drenched R&B and hip-hop at the Rock Stage, then rush over to the Paper Stage to catch Big K.R.I.T.’s southern rap dispatches.

History provides inspiration for two plays in metro area Denver, Aurora stages give audiences a look at productions based on reality BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Playwrights have drawn plots from history since this grand tradition of storytelling began. We visited two over the weekend that are very different, yet both very much worth a visit during the month or so they’re available — with powerful stories and strong acting: “The Cake” at Curious Theatre in Denver and “Kentucky Cycle” at Vintage Theatre in Aurora. • “Kentucky Cycle Parts 1 & 2” by c Robert Schenkkan, won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1992, when it premiered at Seattle’s Inman Theatre — the only Pulitzer that was not first presented in New York. Linda Suttle of Littleton was excited to be cast in this epic work and plays several parts as the nine short plays, presented in two parts, tell histories of three families, white, black and American Indian, and the ongoing struggles over land in the Cumberland Plateau as the nation formed and changed. Vintage Theatre Company is to be commended for taking on this huge project, which totals about six hours k of onstage action, a large cast and an incredible amount of planning and rehearsal time. Director Craig Bond has really made the pieces tie together over the 200 years that run from Revolutionary times until the War on Poverty. A timeline in American history might be worth checking if it’s been a while for the theater fan—but that’s not essential. Stage sets throughout are necessarily simple and suggest where the story is going. We first meet Michael Rowan (Perry Lewis) in “Masters of the Trade,” as he establishes claim to a piece of land, which had been Indian territory, in a forest scene with trappers, Cherokee y people and mountain man types. He next captures an American Indian woman (Christin Mason) to be his wife — and servant — in “The Courtship of Morning Star” (1776). By 1792, the Rowan homestead is established, a son, Patrick Rowan (Sam Gilstrap) is born and grows up, and neighbor Joe Talbert (David Harms), his daughter Rebecca Talbert (Mariel Goffredi) and a black slave, Sallie Biggs (OD Duhu) enter the scene and stay, representing other points of view in “The Homecoming” (1792) and “Ties That Bind.” Part 1 ends with a cast of 20, as the Civil War is happening, in “God’s Great Supper” (1861), with Linda , Suttle as Jolene Rowan. Here one has two options: You can see this on two different days, or plan on afternoon and evening, with time out for dinner in between. (Vintage offers dinner on site ($15), by advance reservation — or one could go out nearby and return for Part 2. Part 2 begins with “Tall Tales” in

The play continues with “Kentucky Cycle” dialogue between plays through Oct. 21 at Vintage these women and between Macy and Theatre, 1468 Jen — and then Dayton St., Aurora, vintagturns for a while to etheatre.com, Della’s life with her 303-856-7830. husband, Tim, and some very brave “The Cake” plays and funny scenes through Oct. 13 at between the pair. Curious Theatre, Tim is played by 1080 Acoma St., Michael Morgan, Denver, curialso a very strong oustheatre.org, actor, and interac303-623-0524. tion is delicately presented and sweet. Playwright Bekkah Brunstetter, who grew up in a conservative North Carolina family, spoke about her own responses: “I hear the other point of view echoing in my head … I see myself getting split, ripped in half. On both sides, they’re forgetting the human being that’s at the center of this.” She continued: “A lot of plays are more on the scathing side when it comes to organized religion. It was really important to me to start with a character who has conservative values and make her the hero,” she told the Los Angeles Times. And, Emma Messenger play the part to a T. It’s a don’t-miss performance.

“Kentucky Cycle” at Vintage Theatre includes cast members David Harms, Jeff Jesmer and Linda Suttle (Littleton). PHOTO BY RDG 1890, where subsequent-generation Rowans, Jed and Lallie, appear, and there is an offer for the ancestral land … Another chapter in American history begins here when the lush green land is stripped bit by bit as coal mines are developed. Local men go to work in the mines and another sort of cultural legend builds. Joshua Rowan is a labor organizer and “Fire in the Hole” addresses political and social currents, as well as explosion when safety issues aren’t addressed. The anguished wait for the list of dead strains everyone involved as we move on to 1954, “Whose Side are You On?”— more political disagreements and Suttle as Margaret Rowan. The mines have slowed down and finally, in the last segment, “The War on Poverty,” the once-fertile land is laid waste and social programs aid unemployed miners’ families as they exist in poverty in 1975 — and on. No upbeat songs and tap-dancing here, but a solid work of art that will become part of our national body of legends. See it while you can. •Í “The Cake” by Bekkah Brunsteter, presented by Curious Theatre in Denver, is based on the very-familiarto-Coloradans story of the baker who refused to create a wedding cake for a gay couple, based on religious conviction. David Mullins and Charlie Craig sued the Masterpiece Cake Shop in Lakewood, claiming that Colorado law prohibited businesses from refusing service based on a buyer’s sexual orientation. In 2013, Judge Robert Spencer determined that Masterpiece had violated Colorado law and Masterpiece appealed. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission became involved in 2014 and the case ended up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Masterpiece in June,
saying the Civil Rights Commission used bias in its decision. “The Cake” opens in Della’s Sweet Shop in today’s North Carolina, with Della (the excellent actress Emma Messenger, making her debut at Curious) talking happily about the wonderful qualities of a cake — the butter and sugar and loving care — as she works on one. “People say `I can do that!’” she notes. “I say to those people `the only way you get that taste is the taste of time and obedience …’” She is set on always following the instructions exactly — in the bakery and in life, where the Bible and her church guide her. The simple set includes a pair of pastry cases, tables and chairs, and the stage is lit by a colorful sign. One can almost smell something good in the oven after meeting Della. Della dreams about being on television — on the “Great American Bakery Show” — and has entered. A screen talks to her as she works — sometimes thundering criticism (the voice of God?). Della is a sweet character and one can’t help but like her. Macy (Jada Susan Dixon) enters and observes that she’s heard those shows are rigged — showing her edgy New York persona, adding a crack about basing one’s life on a book that’s hundreds of years old. “I feel there’s a whole lot of goodness in the world,” sweet Della says in response — totally sincere — offering Macy a slice of her special cake. “I don’t eat cake” is the reply … Enter Jen (Alaina Beth Reel), the daughter of Della’s best friend, who has come to talk about a cake for her upcoming wedding. But when Della learns that Jen and Macy are to be married, she suddenly finds that her

draw, but I can’t teach you how to get sober. Each one of us has to find out what works, and what doesn’t I attended hundreds of AA meetings (John still does), chaired lots of them, learned from six therapists, became a member of a church when I confused religion with spirituality, and now I am on my own. An addict will get pulled in a hundred different directions. And I am not about to be 101 for anyone. Don’t do it my way. I don’t think I would be here if I had done it my way 20 years ago, if that helps anyone. If it takes meetings and sponsors, slogans, prayers, meditation, retreats, therapists, new friends, new hobbies, new anything, do it. Nothing — nothing — is better than waking up without a hangover, and nothing is more important to me than my sobriety. Not even Jennifer. If I’m not sober, I don’t have Jennifer. When I am asked how much time I have, I always say: “One day.” My recovery is not a miracle. It is hard work, and I am still learning.

From there it’s up to the Scissors Stage (get the stage theme?) for Paris’ alt-rockers Phoenix, back to Paper for The War on Drugs’ blissed-out take on heartland rock, and the evening ends with Kendrick Lamar’s stadium rap spectacle back at Rock. If you timed it right, it was a five-hour continuous concert, with no wait time between sets. For a first-time festival, Grandoozy is expertly run. That’s not to say there are no frustrations or things that could be streamlined, but Superfly’s years of experience clearly paid off. There is plenty of space in the park so that attendees don’t feel totally hemmed in, use of public transport options cuts down on car traffic, and the official Grandoozy app puts the entire festival at my fingertips. “There are always going to be unforeseen challenges when you’re doing something in a new place, for the first time,” Mayers explained. “To get ahead of any of those challenges, we make sure our team is spending as much time on the ground to build relationships with key players in the market and better understand the region and find out what makes it tick.” The festival feels very Colorado, and that might be the highest compliment I can pay Grandoozy. As to if it will return next year, that remains to be seen. “The success of the festival is based on its ability to reflect the local culture while showing people a great time in a truly unique and exciting space,” Mayers said. “Creating that experience is primary focus at the moment to set Grandoozy up for success in the future.” • • • • • Discoveries and reaffirmations one can have at Grandoozy: • Discovery — All music sounds better right as the sun is dipping behind the horizon. • Reaffirmation — The world of fash-
Cost: Advanced adult admission, $6, day of adult admission $8, adult admission and hard cider tasting advanced admission, $30 and $5 for children Contact: Lakewood.org/ciderdays/ Cider Days returns to Lakewood for its 43rd year. The city is known for its agricultural history and its apple orchards, and Cider Days is a way to celebrate that. There will be dozens of hard cider companies to check out, a beer garden with Lakewood-brewed beer, historic demonstrations a tractor pull, face painting, a petting zoo, a horse wagon, a maze, a magician and an apple baked goods challenge. The event draws thousands of people each year, and it’s something that the city prides itself on. “There is no better way to celebrate the fall harvest season than at Cider Days. We cover all of our bases, and we have everything that someone would want to enjoy at this time of year,” community events coordinator Rebecca Gushen said.
ion is beyond understanding. If you see an outfit and wonder to yourself, “Could I pull that off ?” the question has already been answered. • Discovery — One of the best ways to explain why so many people like rap is to stand in the middle of a crowd with a DJ who has really, really good speakers. • Reaffirmation — “1901” by Phoenix is a perfect song. • Discovery — At a certain age, sitting in the middle of a field can be just as hard on the back as standing in one. • Reaffirmation — Music has a tremendously unifying power. At a festival with electronic, country, rap, R&B, jazz and pop performers, you’ll get to meet all kinds of people you’d never expect and connect about music. And learn you have more in common than thinking Kendrick Lamar is this generation’s Bob Dylan. • • • • • “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel is one of that those songs that everyone seems to know, despite the fact that it is 35 years old. If you need the proof, here it is: the song soundtracked the defining moment of my Grandoozy experience. At the end of the first night of Grandoozy, brimming over with the kind of joy that only comes from spending hours with music you love, I joined a bunch of strangers in a shuttle taking us to a light rail station. As we pulled onto the road, “Uptown Girl” came on the radio. Everyone in that bus must’ve been feeling that same musical joy as me, because someone up front turned the radio as loud as it could go, and we all sang along at the very top of our lungs for the entire ride. In its purest form, that community is what a music festival can do. Grandoozy gave everyone in that bus that for a moment, and that’s the only metric I need to call it a success. Here’s hoping it returns next year. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.

‘American Idiot’ is gripping stage production set to music Town Hall Arts Center hosts show based on 2004 album by Green Day BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The stage at Town Hall is dark when the music starts, then nicely highlighted shadowy figures start to dance to the title song, beginning the sungthrough rock opera based on punk rock band Green Day’s concept album, “American Idiot.” Issued in 2004, “American Idiot” was first presented as a stage piece at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009 and moved to Broadway’s St. James Theatre in spring 2010, where it ran a substantial 422 performances. At times during the run, Green Day’s vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong appeared as St. Jimmy. Armstrong and director Michael Mayer wrote the book, music was composed by the Green Day band and lyrics are by Armstrong. Nick Sugar is director/choreographer, who makes it all work together in an entertaining 21st-century opera about three disaffected young men, “in the recent past,” frustrated with life in the suburbs, as their surrounding society is in turmoil with war, politics, drugs … (Could be today.) The show runs 90 minutes, no intermission, with all words sung and a live band up front, led by music director Donna Debrecini. Johnny, played by a strong Brian Robertson from Greeley, debuting at Town Hall, asks friends Tunny (Ben Fowler), also new to Town Hall, and Will (Caleb Reed), another new face, to join him in escaping to “the city.” Will’s girlfriend, Heather (Lynzee Lee Jones) has just told him she’s pregnant, so he feels he must stay with her, but he just lives in a beerfilled depressed haze, with no interest
IF YOU GO “Green Day’s American Idiot” plays at Town Hall Arts Center, 2450 W. Main St., Downtown Littleton, through October 7. Performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays and Sept. 22; 6:30 p.m. Sept. 30.

Tunny goes with Johnny, but oppressed by the city, soon opts to join the Army and ships off to war. Scenes are given related dates: Feb. 6, Johnny stole money from mom’s purse for bus fare. Feb. 24, we hear a disillusioned Johnny, with guitar, sing “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.” Soon, there’s a military scene when Tunny leaves for the Army. (“Are We the Waiting?”) “Is this my life?” the directionless Johnny wonders. Enter a riveting Matt La Fontaine as St. Jimmy, brandishing a hypodermic — bringing heroin into Johnny’s life … St. Jimmy is perched high above the action for much of the remaining performance — sending out vibes. With fairly minimal set, director Sugar makes it all work by how and where his actors perform — strong voices, tight choreography. Johnny has noticed a girl watching from an upper window and thinks he’d like to know her … He does indeed connect with Whatsername (Faith Angelise Goins-Simmons) and St. Jimmy leads them both to drugs, but she departs the scene ... A wounded Tunny has met The Extraordinary Girl — in an ordinary world (Sarah Harmon), his nurse, who continues to brighten his life … Rock with this band and cast of actors-- and explore their world of unresolved issues and dreams. It’s a short trip to another world. Relevant now.

Ready, everyone, the lights are going down BY CRAIG MARSHALL SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA
L
ook closely: When John Wayne and Victor McLaglen fight it out near the end of John Ford’s “The Quiet Man,” it appears that McLaglen knocks off Wayne’s toupee with the first punch. The songwriter in the apartment next to Jimmy Stewart’s in “Rear Window” was played by Ross Bagdasarian, whose stage name was David Seville. Seville had a hit record, “Witch Doctor,” in 1958. It featured a speeded-up vocal, and that would lead to the creation of his annoying musical chipmunks, Simon, Theodore, and Alvin. A teenager named Myrna Adele Williams posed for her Venice, California, high school art teacher, who created a statue of the future actress that stood in front of the high school for more than 70 years. Williams later changed her name to Myrna Loy. My lifelong love of films and film history has turned into this: a new feature that will focus on wonderful vintage films, one at a time, including dramas, comedies, noir mysteries like “Out of the Past,” a few foreign films like “Mr. Hulot’s Holiday,” and even documentaries. At the ages of 9 and 10, I was allowed to do something almost
unimaginable. I was allowed to go by myself to the State and the Michigan theaters in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I vividly remember new releases like “Bridge on the River Kwai,” “Forbidden Planet” and “Pal Joey.” I diligently researched films throughout high school, and then minored in film at UCLA. I was in paradise. All we did was watch films, starting with “The Great Train Robbery,” in a darkened theater in a campus building that backed on Sunset Boulevard. I can’t think of a better film to introduce this whim of mine than Billy Wilder’s 1950 gem “Sunset Boulevard.” It’s a film about the film industry, and it features an unforgettable performance and a memorable final line.
Ben Mankiewicz, Turner Classic Movies’ finest host, said the last line of the film is as famous as the film itself. Mankiewicz is the great-nephew — whatever that is — of screenwriter, director, and producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz (e.g., “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir”). “Sunset Boulevard” features Gloria Swanson as a suicidal, forgotten, former 1920s silent screen star who lives in a decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard, with a bald, stern, German servant name Max, played by Erich von Stroheim, and a chimp. The chimp (uncredited) dies. By chance, a down-on-his luck screenwriter, played by William Holden, turns into the mansion’s driveway and is mistaken for the chimp’s coffin bearer. However, because of a very unconventional start to the film, we know that Holden’s character, Joe Gillis, dies, and that everything that ensues is a flashback.
Anyone who has been as formed by films as I have been will value all of the historic details that surround this movie. The address of the mansion featured in the film,10086 Sunset Boulevard, doesn’t exist. The mansion that appeared was at 641 Irving Boulevard, at the corner of Irving and Wilshire. Gloria Swanson, who plays Norma Desmond, was meant to be seen as an elderly woman, too old for the much younger Joe Gillis. In real time, Swanson was only 50 when she made the film, and Holden was 32. Mae West was considered for the role of Norma Desmond. The film’s final line? “All right, Mr. DeMille. I’m ready for my close-up.”
I diligently researched films throughout high school, and then minored in film at UCLA. I was in paradise.

A
dam Hangland has learned to balance being a two-sport
athlete. The Arapahoe senior is currently a valuable member of the Warriors’ soccer team, but his main sport is lacrosse, which is played in the spring for Arapahoe and summer for his club team. “I play a little bit bigger role in lacrosse as far as playing time,” said Hangland, who started playing soccer when he
September 21, 2018S
moved from Adams City and noticed how popular the sport was at Arapahoe. “Usually, I play lacrosse most of the year. Even now, I sometimes play lacrosse on the weekends. “The transition into lacrosse is usually a lot smoother than soccer for me because I’m gone most of the summer playing lacrosse back East (with the Colorado Fire club team). So when I come back, I get right back into soccer, which is a little hard. Right after soccer, I jump back into lacrosse.”
COACH’S TAKE: “Adam is unique. He’s a two-sport varsity athlete and we don’t see multiple-sport athletes any more. Lacrosse is his main sport. As a senior, he’s become an incredibly important part of our success. His soccer skills have improved so much.” Mark Hampshire, Arapahoe boys soccer coach
Q&A with Hangland What’s your favorite pre-game meal? Grilled chicken and rice — a little protein and carbs, which gives me enough energy. Who is your favorite athlete? I like Cam Newton. He has a lot of flair, which I like, and he’s not afraid to speak his mind. What music do you listen to before a game and why? I listen to a lot of rap, but the weird thing is on the drive over to the game I listen to country music. But then right before the game, I will listen to rap because it calms me down and makes me excited before we play. What or who motivates you most to excel in sports? Probably my parents. My dad played Division I football and my mom played
sports all through high school. They always supported me no matter what I wanted to do. What is your favorite class in school and why? Science. I’ve always been interested in that. What do you like to do away from sports and school? I really like to fish and be outside. I go up to the mountains a lot and ski quite a bit. We live in an outdoor state so why not take advantage of that? What are your plans after high school? I want to play lacrosse. I am deciding between a few schools right now. I will probably go into engineering if I don’t go to the Air Force Academy. If I do go to Air Force, I’ll be in the military for a couple years.

ebecca Guggenbach is a 16-year-old with a passion for music. She never had time to participate in athletic activities in the past, but she is on the Mountain Vista girls cross country team this season. Guggenbach OVERTIME is an exchange student from Switzerland who is living with a host family. “In my country, I do a lot of music,” she said. “I play the cello and bass. I’m in Jim Benton an orchestra and band, so I had to be there every day. When I came here, I said I had to do something completely different. I picked cross country. Everybody can join cross country, even if you are not the fastest. “I really enjoy cross country. Everybody is so nice. It was hard at first because the altitude is so much higher than in Switzerland. I got used to it because we do it every day and I really like the races on Saturday.” Mountain Vista is both the defending boys and girls cross country state champions and coach Jonathan Dalby invites anybody to join the team. He tries to include runners in various competitions during the season. “Rebecca is improving a lot,” said Dalby. “She is not one of our top kids but is a hard worker with a really positive attitude.” Guggenbach ran an 18:02.00 in the junior varsity race on Aug. 24 at the Vista Nation 2-Mile Invitational. She clocked a 26:29.00 on Aug. 31 at the Warrior Invitational in Centennial. “I’ve done pretty good because I’ve never raced before,” Guggenbach said. “I’m glad I wasn’t last in any of the races. It is really hard to keep up with the best runners.” Guggenbach is enjoying her time in Colorado at Mountain Vista, meeting new friends and polishing up on her English. Alpine skiing, hockey, tennis, football (soccer) and Schwingen (wrestling) are the popular sports in Switzerland but Guggenbach is thinking about continuing here athletic endeavors at Mountain Vista. She may try out for girls swimming in the winter or track in the spring. SEE BENTON, P27

CCU’s soccer team welcomes 10-year-old Joel Zamora, who is fighting cancer, is honorary member BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Joel Zamora, 10, walked up to a table at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood with a big, beaming smile. From the look on his face, you wouldn’t know he suffers from a bone cancer called osteosarcoma — but that didn’t matter to him that night. Zamora, who lives in Littleton, has always loved soccer, and he was preparing to sign his national letter of intent to join CCU’s men’s soccer team. “It means a lot to me to be part of the team,” said Zamora, whose left leg was partially amputated because of the cancer. “I used to play soccer every day, and I’m excited to be part of the team.” The CCU men’s soccer team and IMPACT, a Boston nonprofit organization that connects children facing chronic illnesses with local college athletic teams to form lifelong bonds, teamed up to give Zamora the experience. The team, along with the school’s cheerleaders, cheered Zamora as he signed the letter of intent. He also

Program seeks Colorado’s top youth volunteers STAFF REPORT
The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards is looking for Colorado’s top youth volunteers of the year. Students in grades 5-12 are invited to apply through Nov. 6 for 2019 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards if they have made meaningful contributions to their communities through volunteer service in the past 12 months. The application is available at http://spirit.prudential.com and www.nassp.org/spirit. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards, sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals, was created in 1995 to recognize the volunteer work of middle level and high school students. The awards have been granted annually for the past 23 years on local, state and national levels. “After more than two decades of honoring young volunteers, we know that students are a powerful force for good,” Prudential Chairman and CEO John Strangfeld said in a news release. “We shine a spotlight on their service in hopes that others will be inspired to follow their example.” The top middle level and high school volunteer from each state and the District of Columbia will be named state honorees on Feb. 5, and will receive $1,000, engraved silver medallions and an all-expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C., with a parent or guardian for four days of recognition events from May 4-7. In Washington, a national selection committee will name 10 of the 102 state honorees as America’s top youth volunteers of the year. National honorees will receive additional awards of $5,000, gold medallions, crystal
trophies for their nominating schools or organizations, and $5,000 grants from The Prudential Foundation for nonprofit charitable organizations of their choice. Colorado’s top youth volunteers of 2018 were Savannah Rock, 18, of Aurora, who began a campaign in 2011 to promote the inclusion of students with disabilities in all aspects of school life and to change the way her whole community views and engages with people who have traditionally been excluded because of disability, race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation, and Addison Kleinhans, 14, of Broomfield, who has delivered more than 130 speeches to raise money for childhood cancer causes and to motivate others to stay positive in the face of adversity. Read more about Savannah and Addison at http://spirit.prudential.com/honorees/2018/co.
