Large crowds came to usher in the holidays at the Centennial Holiday Celebration, which featured a photobooth where kids took pictures with Santa and a holiday concert by local school choirs. “I dragged the whole family here,” said a laughing Heather Schafer, who brought her parents, siblings, niece and nephews along with her children. Her daughter, Kate Schafer, is in the Sandburg Elementary School choir. Creekside, Peabody, Homestead and Peakview elementaries, and Newton Middle School, also participated in the choir concert at Centennial Center Park’s amphitheater. Kate also enjoyed running around the park with friends, Heather Schafer said. The event Nov. 18 brought adorning lights, free cookies and hot chocolate, and a longtime Santa to the park — 68-year-old James Lewis has dressed up as Santa for the holidays for about 10 years. “I feel like I was called to it,” said Lewis, who said he’s a part of a nationwide organization of people who dress up as Santa for the holidays. “A lot of us feel that way as well. “The good Lord wanted me here,” said Lewis, who sported a big smile as dozens of children and families talked and took photos with him.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

As many large retailers struggle, cities seek solutions Colorado cities depend heavily on revenue from sales taxes BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As old-guard retailers shutter stores and lay off workers in the face of shifting consumer habits, Colorado municipalities are in a precarious position due to an unusual tax structure that depends mightily on retail sales taxes. Bryan Archer, the director of finance for the City of Arvada, said the strong economy may be temporarily masking the problem, and another economic downturn could have severe consequences for governments. “We are scared to death that as soon as everything slows down around here, our growth will be minuscule and we’ll lose tax base over time,” Archer said. “It could make it really

For those looking to keep their money local this holiday season, the national Small Business Administration touts Small Business Saturday, which encourages shoppers to patronize small businesses in their area on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which also happens to be the day after Black Friday. This year, the day falls on Nov. 25.

difficult for cities to meet peoples’ needs.” Even amid a gangbusters Colorado and U.S. economy, with stocks soaring and unemployment at a 17-year low in October, recent years have not been kind to brick-and-mortar retailers. Brands like J.C. Penney, Sears, Macy’s and Gander Mountain have closed dozens of locations — including many in the metro area and across the state. Englewood-based Sports Authority went defunct last year. Englewood’s Kmart closes this month, leaving the Arvada store as the last metro area location. Nearly unique among states, Colorado towns and cities derive much of their operating revenues from locally imposed sales taxes, according to Phyllis Resnick, lead economist at the Colorado Futures Center, a Colorado State University-based think tank. The arrangement maintains local control and keeps property taxes low, but could portend fiscal disaster if current trends continue.

The SBA published the following tips for putting your money where your heart is: • Commit to making at least one purchase from a locally owned small business retailer. Get to know the owner, and make your gift more meaningful by sharing their story as part of what you give your loved ones. • Enjoy the experience. Travel outside your comfort zone — and away from your com-

puter screen — to discover an out-of-the ordinary shopping district with some trendy local stores. • Take part in Small Business Saturday on social media, using the hashtag #ShopSmall to amplify your support. If you find a great small business retailer with unique products, Tweet or Facebook your find so others can enjoy it too. • When you open your gifts, start a conversation about which one came from the most distinctive and creative sellers. This can make for great debate over eggnog or your holiday drink of choice.

Emergency medical facility plan OK’d despite criticism Fears from residents can’t be addressed by city at this point, council says BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A room full of concerned citizens that voiced sometimes emotional T pleas for the Centennial City Council to delay approval for a new medical facility ran up against the council’s legal inability to intervene. At a city council meeting Nov. 13, audible groans and a shout from the audience punctuated frustration from the crowd over what they felt is an unsafe — and even deadly — plan for the new facility, which would be called either the Dry Creek Family Emergency Center or the Centennial Family Emergency Center. The council approved the plan at the meeting. The center could open in 2018, with an eight-month construction period that would likely start in early 2018. “How are you going to feel if more people are killed on this road now that you know about it?” said Mary Sedivy, who lives in a neighborhood near the proposed site of the new 24/7 emergency room center. Sedivy, like the eight other residents who spoke at the meeting about the plan, had concerns about aggravating traffic at what they said is an already dangerous intersection at East Dry Creek Road and South Colorado Boulevard. But the city attorney explained at length before citizens got up for public comment that city council could only approve the medical center’s design plan or deny it and allow for changes — it couldn’t declare that a medical center can’t be built there altogether. That’s because the city has already decided the property’s zoning, which defines what can be built on the lot. Those criteria were updated in 2015, the city attorney said. The city’s Planning and Zoning Commission already approved the medical center’s site plan as being in accordance with the city’s design requirements based on its land development code. The council was legally required to give final approval if it didn’t find conflict between the plan and those design requirements — things like how tall a building is, its parking structure and so on. According to the city’s online traffic count data, the intersection at East Dry Creek Road and South Colorado Boulevard is not among the busiest major intersections in Centennial. Points along East Smoky Hill Road, South Buckley Road, East County Line Road, South University Boulevard and several points along l East Arapahoe Road outpace it by /thousands of cars per day. The city has said that compared to

other possible businesses, putting a medical facility of that nature at the site would be the least traffic-intensive use for the area. A traffic study on the area did not show a need for added traffic lights or widened lanes based on the impact the facility would have, said Allison Wittern, spokeswoman for the city. But residents are still concerned about traffic, partly because a gas station sits immediately north of the site, and partly because of accidents they say people they know have experienced in that area. They also raised the potential issue of people driving while panicked, rushing to the emergency room to get help for someone hurt. “The drivers going west on Dry Creek are not conscious or (are unaware) that we have a dedicated turn lane,” said Marjorie Lell of the Bella Vista neighborhood, which can only be entered on westbound East Dry Creek Road through East Hinsdale Circle. One of the entrances is close to the proposed emergency room site, and residents expressed worry about traffic backing up enough to cause problems. Access to the site would be limited to a right-turn entry and right-turn exit on East Dry Creek Road, and one right-turn entry on South Colorado Boulevard. Barring left-hand turns in or out is better for safety, the city said. Traffic concerns persist, though. “I have observed a lot of traffic issues created even by the Alta gas station store that’s right next to where the planned ER complex will be,” said Kenneth Anderson, who has lived in the nearby Vista Pointe neighborhood for more than 10 years. “I find the traffic truly to be a hazard for all of us trying to enter and exit both at Bella Vista and Vista Pointe.” City council largely appeared concerned with the public’s comments, but ultimately expressed that it didn’t have the power to address them. “A lot of times, our hands are tied,” said Mayor Cathy Noon. “Personal property rights are near and dear to me because if we take away property rights from (this business), what stops us from taking your personal property rights away?” The city also said improperly halting the process for the medical center to open would invite a lawsuit that would cost taxpayer dollars. That elicited a shout from the audience: “What is the cost of a human life?” Councilmembers Candace Moon, C.J. Whelan and Carrie Penaloza voted for a motion to hold another public hearing on Dec. 11 about the site plan, but the rest of the body voted it down, noting that council would still not be able to deny the medical center applicant’s already approved use of the property even if that hearing happened. The site plan passed with only Penaloza of District 2 voting no.

RETAIL FROM PAGE 4

The scope of the trend depends on whom you ask: A report from international financial services company Credit Suisse found that 8,640 stores would be closed nationwide by the end of 2017, eclipsing the 6,200 that closed in 2008 at the peak of the Great Recession. An industry analyst report, RetailNext Store Performance Pulse, found year-over-year store traffic declined 5.5 percent in July, continuing a long-term slide. However, industry analyst group IHL released a report in August reporting that retailers will open a net of 4,000 new locations in 2017. Black Friday — the deep-discount day at many retailers that follows Thanksgiving and kicks off the holiday shopping season — continues to vastly outpace Cyber Monday, its online alternative. Black Friday sales totaled more than $650 billion last year, compared to Cyber Monday’s $6.6 billion, according to the National Retail Federation. Economists like Resnick and other Colorado experts, though, say that online shopping and shifting consumer habits may come to bear on municipal finances. As shoppers increasingly look to online retailers who can often skirt local sales taxes, the ripple effects of the so-called Retail Apocalypse may force governments — and citizens — to re-evaluate how they tax themselves.

Changing habits “We’re seeing a seismic shift in the way people shop,” said Robert Golden, president and CEO of the South Metro

Denver Chamber of Commerce, which represents more than 650 businesses across four counties. “The appeal of the mall and shopping has lost a lot of its zest for a lot of people.” Golden attributed the shift in part to what he calls the “middle-class squeeze” — housing and education costs have soared, and wages have largely failed to keep pace, eating up discretionary spending and pushing middle-class earners toward online bargains. The trouble is that many online retailers don’t collect sales tax on behalf of municipalities, Resnick said. “We’ve said we have to solve this problem before it solves us,” Resnick said. Some online retailers, such as Amazon, have agreed to impose sales tax on purchases, based on the shipping address of the recipient, Resnick said. However, the agreement doesn’t apply to Amazon’s third-party vendors. The company says it hosts more than 100,000 vendors who do more than $100,000 each in sales annually, amounting to more than $10 billion a year. Resnick said online retailers are hesitant to enter into taxing agreements in places like Colorado, where the patchwork of taxing authorities could land sellers in hot water with auditors. “Another part is the tradition that we don’t tax the internet,” Resnick said. “People start to think it’s a tax increase. Technically the purchaser is liable to pay local sales tax, but the state has not enforced that. At the local level, each city would have to.” Multiply the number of online retailers by the number of municipalities and the scope of the dilemma

becomes clear, Resnick said. Resnick and her team run models that examine the state’s financial sustainability in coming decades based on current trends, and present possible scenarios to address problems. “We’ve looked at the possibility of taxing services,” Resnick said. “Services don’t migrate online. Fixing your house, cleaning your pool — those can’t dry up like brick and mortar stores can.” Resnick said another contributing factor of the Retail Apocalypse is an aging society. As people have fewer children and the age of the general populace climbs, spending on material goods drops. Service taxes would make sense under such conditions, she said. “The only other places to generate revenue would be income or property taxes,” Resnick said. “But we have a prohibition on local income tax in Colorado.” And hiking property taxes is pretty unpopular, she said. No easy fix Tax reform is inevitable, said Archer, the Arvada official. Like many metro municipalities, more than half of Arvada’s revenue comes from sales taxes. “(Tax reform efforts will) have to be organic and come from the citizens,” Archer said. “They’ll need to want better roads or parks.” Amazon’s agreement to collect sales taxes for cities is helping, but it doesn’t fix the problem. “I’d love to say it’s problem solved, but Amazon isn’t even 20 percent of the online market,” Archer said. Arvada takes the relatively rare

approach of taxing groceries, Archer said, which has softened the blow. “We have five King Soopers and multiple Safeways,” Archer said. “People still buy groceries here even though they threaten not to.” Government budgets in Colorado are already tightly constrained by the TABOR amendment, Archer said, with funding for education and other government services already anemic despite a robust economy. TABOR — the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights — was enacted in 1992, and it sets a cap on government spending and requires a popular vote for tax increases. The shift toward online retail could have further fallout as the impact comes to bear on the labor market, Resnick said. Nationally, the retail sector has lost jobs every month in 2017, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The bright side It’s not all bad news, said Golden, of the South Metro Chamber, which is based at the Streets at SouthGlenn shopping center in Centennial. “You can’t find a parking spot on weekends,” Golden said of the shopping center. “Small retailers, those with something unique to sell, can do very well. They have less overhead, less expense and less inventory.” Millennials increasingly seek out localized lifestyles, where they can obtain the necessities of life without having to travel far, Golden said. “I believe there will always be a place for the small shop,” Golden said. “As long as people like walking down the street and popping into stores, they should survive.”

Volunteers deliver Thanksgiving meals to metro-area seniors TOY, CLOTHING DRIVE

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Boxes, shopping bags, open car trunks and some two dozen volunteers in blue shirts formed a bustling scene in front of the Integrated Family Community Services building to get Thanksgiving meals to seniors in need. “To not do it just doesn’t make sense,” said Brian Counterman, an Allstate agency owner in the Littleton area. Counterman helped pull together a partnership that earned Integrated Family $35,000 in grant money from the Allstate Foundation — $1,000 for each Allstate agent or licensed sales professional who volunteered. The amount of $35,000 was the cap for the offer, but more staff, friends and family showed up. As many as 50 volunteers pitched in help at the Nov. 15 event. Volunteers organized, packaged and delivered food to 90 residences in Englewood, Littleton, Sheridan, Centennial and Highlands Ranch, said Todd McPherson, development director for Integrated Family.

Rob Mathes, 38, arrived about 9 a.m. to help make sure families can get together over food the volunteers put on their plates, Mathes said. “I grew up in kind of a low-income community,” said Mathes, an Aurora Allstate agency owner. “I’ve had family

members who needed help in their lives, so this was a nobrainer.” Integrated Family also provided 450 food boxes to families and some seniors on Nov. 18, McPherson said. The Allstate Foundation gives grants to organizations to address domestic violence, support youths, help with disaster preparedness, fight hunger and support other causes.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women.

Connie Sisneros, who lives in Englewood, stands with food delivered as part of a volunteer effort for Thanksgiving Nov. 15. “I’ve got more than a lot of people do,” Sisneros said. “I’ve got a roof over my head.” She checks on her neighbors to make sure they have food to eat on Thanksgiving and “makes them a plate” if they don’t, she said.

COLORADO PARKS AND WILDLIFE

Throughout Colorado, deer are in the midst of their mating season and Colorado Parks and Wildlife is reminding residents to take precautions to avoid conflicts. “Buck deer can be aggressive and lose their usual wariness of people at this time of year,” said Patt Dorsey, southwest regional manager for Colorado Parks and Wildlife. During the “rut” bucks are territorial and loaded with testosterone. They may attack people that appear to be competitive rivals. Deer can also see dogs as threats. In past years, bucks have gored people and dogs. If you see deer in your neighborhood keep your distance. Never attempt to get close to deer, never feed them and never try to pet them. Bucks in the rut may also spar with and become tangled in swing sets, volleyball nets, bicycles, vegetable-wire cages, hoses, etc. “We’ve seen bucks hung up in

things like hammocks, clothes lines and plastic fencing,” Dorsey said. “When that happens it’s very stressful on the animal and sometimes fatal. It can also be dangerous for people who might come in contact with a deer that is in a stressed-out condition.” So now is the time to take a look at your yard, bring in the summer toys and check if there are other things that can snare deer. If items can’t be removed, CPW recommends tying long strands of brightly colored surveyor’s tape to them which might help to keep the animals away. People displaying holiday decorations and lights are also asked to exercise caution. Lights should be attached firmly to structures, or strung at least eight feet off the ground. Avoid draping lights loosely on top of shrubbery or wrapping lights around tree trunks. If you do see an animal with items stuck in its antlers call the nearest CPW office. Do not approach the animal or attempt to cut them off yourself. The rut for deer usually continues until late December. Drivers are also reminded to slow down and be on the lookout for deer on highways. Deer have migrated to winter range and are likely to be close to major roadways at this time of year.

Group cultivated marijuana in homes in Arapahoe, Douglas and Elbert counties, grand jury alleges BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two dozen people suspected of participating in a drug-trafficking ring that illegally grew marijuana in at least 10 homes in Arapahoe, Douglas and Elbert counties have been indicted on at least nine charges each. The group is accused of conspiring to grow more than 1,500 pounds of the drug and selling marijuana to out-of-state buyers for distribution in 12 states, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office announced Nov. 16. A grand jury for the judicial district issued the indictment. In multiple jurisdictions, law enforcement officials are in the process of apprehending the suspects, said Vikki Migoya, spokeswoman for the judicial district. The charges also include money laundering and attempting to influence a public servant, with 20 total counts brought among the individuals. The top charges are class 2 felony racketeering charges under the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act. Warrants for the 24 suspects were issued Nov. 14, and they will be tried in Douglas County District Court, according to a news release.

Way down under a lot of wrapping, the core of Christmas is still there QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

f you are full of kringle and nog, I don’t want to bring my wet blanket into it very far, even though it’s tempting. The Christmas season once lasted a week or two. Then a month. Now it’s two months. (And if you watch home shopping channels, it’s six months.) Christmas music in November is wrong. I can avoid it in my home. I can’t avoid it in stores. Everyone in America does not celebrate Christmas. Everyone in America who

celebrates Christmas does not celebrate it in the same way. Moneymakers aren’t interested in the illusion of rationality. However, I was delighted to hear that Black Friday is losing its mojo. I am happy for the employees, mostly, who have had to work at odd hours just to serve ravenous appetites for deep discounts on must-have electronics and peeing dolls. Beneath my gruff exterior is a gruff interior. Beneath my gruff

interior is a soft spot for memories, and a wistfulness about some things that have been diminished through the manipulations of others — to an extreme. I am old enough to know that’s how we do things around here. Some weddings, for example. The national average for a wedding day in 2016 was $35,329, according to Fortune magazine. The typical cost to have a justice of the peace marry you is $50 to $100. I may have told this story before.

Aging leads to redundancy. But it’s the best Christmas memory I have. We drove Santa Claus home in a Buick. My father sold Buicks in Uniontown, Penn., in the early 1950s. There was a Christmas parade. I wish I had photographs. I am sure it was simple and sweet and half Frank Capra and half Diane Arbus. I rode up front in a convertible, SEE MARSHALL, P13

Happy Thanksgetting — getting back what we give out

Tips for seniors to ensure a joyful holiday season

TODAY’S SENIOR

Kent Mulkey

t’s that time of year again – cooler weather, family get-togethers, festive holiday cheer. As we ready ourselves for the start of holiday festivities, it’s good form – and good for you – to have an attitude of gratitude. A University of California, Davis, and University of Miami study found an association between gratitude and a person’s well-being. During a journaling exercise with

two groups, those who wrote about the positive occurrences were 25 percent happier than those who wrote about negative occurrences. People with gratitude were also found to experience fewer aches and pains, sleep better at night, and exercise more often. Cultivating gratefulness takes practice, but it’s easy to do. By using what Charles M. Shelton, Ph.D., calls a Daily Gratitude Inventory (DGI),

you can develop a lifelong habit of practicing gratitude. A DGI is a written, daily examination of the blessings in our lives. Whether you journal about your blessings or keep a list, putting them to paper keeps them fresh in your mind. Doing this practice before bedtime sets the mood for a good night’s sleep.

hanksgetting? Sounds like one of those made-up holidays, doesn’t it? We all know there is no such holiday as Thanksgetting — well maybe not technically, but quite possibly a twist on the traditional holiday of ThanksWINNING giving. WORDS On Thanksgiving we typically share our gratitude for all we have been blessed with over the past year. We give thanks for the people in our lives, especially those sitting around the dining-room table with us. We show our appreciation for all of the Michael Norton opportunities we have been given and we cherish the days leading up to Thanksgiving just as much as the holiday itself. The attitude of gratitude is something I have written about quite a bit over the years as I have been told that gratitude is one of the healthiest of all human emotions. When we exhibit gratitude for the people in our lives and for the gifts we have been blessed with, we usually continue to experience greater relationships, and some say that we may have even more to be grateful for. Zig Ziglar’s most famous quote is this, “You can have everything in life that you

Here are other ways to cultivate a spirit of gratitude. Experience the Good Be present and use your senses to savor the world around you. Breathe in the smell of a roaring fire, pinecones, and hot apple pie. Enjoy the sight of flickering lights strung on lampposts downtown. Listen to the sweet sound of the children’s choir performing at a packed mall. Notice the feel of soft ear muffs and fur-lined gloves against your skin. Savor the taste of freshlybaked butter cookies. Embrace People Feelings of love and gratitude are contagious. Spend time with people who make you smile and feel good. Put your best, positive foot forward to make others feel welcome. Enjoy Nature Colorado is nature’s wonderland. Fill your spiritual well with a brisk, cool walk or a leisurely morning hike. Breathe in the fresh air, observe your surroundings and focus on something you are grateful for. Say No and Then Say Yes During the holidays, it’s easy to over-schedule and burn out from busyness. You don’t have to cross off every

want, just as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” You see, here is where we turn gratitude upside down. Not only are we grateful for all that we do receive, but this gives us the opportunity to experience gratitude by helping others. I mean really, how awesome does it feel when we help someone else out, donate time, give charitably and cheerfully to a great cause? It feels fantastic, doesn’t it? I am sure that we have all experienced some form of Thanksgiving holiday where we sit around with our family and share all the things we are grateful for. We hear things like, “I am grateful for my family.” Or, “I am grateful for my job.” Maybe we hear things like being grateful for the meal being served, or some people may express appreciation for the time off and watching football or movies on Thanksgiving. When we stop and think about it, we really do have so much to be thankful for beyond the brief examples given here. Now what if our answers were slightly different? “I am so grateful that I had a chance to help a person stranded on the roadside with a flat tire.” “I sure do appreciate being asked to help serve meals at the homeless shelter.” “I am feeling blessed that my business trip was canceled so I could help out more around the office, at home, and at church this week.” What we get back from giving out is

item on your checklist and please every friend and family member. It’s okay to say no to the activities that lead to exhaustion and stress. Say yes to what you love and enjoy. Fill your days with activities and people who make you happy. Give Back Feeling fortunate – or not? Now is a good time to use your time, talent, and heart to make life better for another. Volunteer at a local soup kitchen or shelter not just on Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve, but throughout the holiday season and after. Brighten the holidays for a local child by dropping off a toy at a toy drive, such as Covenant Village of Colorado’s Toys for Tots benefit luncheon on Dec. 5. Call 877-341-0295 or visit www.covenantcolorado.org for more information. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of holiday planning, shopping and completing our to-do lists. It doesn’t have to be that way. Pause and focus on your blessings. By practicing gratefulness, you’ll experience holidays filled with joy, peace and happiness. Kent Mulkey is executive director at Covenant Village of Colorado, a faith-based, nonprofit, continuing care retirement community located in Westminster. He is one of a team of professionals who writes about senior living, retirement, and health and wellness. For more information, visit http://www.covenantcolorado.org or call 877-341-0295.

almost always so much more powerful to us personally and professionally when it comes to the feeling and attitude of gratitude. The best part about this, and as the people who are constantly giving out can share with us, is that they never do any of it with any expectation of receiving anything in return. They never say, “I am helping out here because I know I will need help one day myself.” That never happens. People who give from the heart, those who give charitably and cheerfully, know full well that the gift of gratitude that they experience simply comes from the doing and the giving. And when Thanksgetting rolls around each year, these folks already know what they are grateful for, the chance to receive that feeling and sense of appreciation and accomplishment for doing what comes very naturally. So how about you? Are you celebrating Thanksgiving or Thanksgetting? Because as Zig said, “You really can have everything in life you want, just as long as you help enough other people get what they want.” I would love to hear all of your Thanksgiving or Thanksgetting stories at gotonorton@gmail.com. And when we remember it really is all about the other people in our lives and all of the blessings we receive when we do give back, it absolutely will be a better than good week.

next to my father, and Santa was in the back seat. He waved at everyone, and threw candies. He hit one kid in the forehead. When the time came, Santa said, “Please take me home.” My father said, “OK, Ed, uh, Santa.” Santa lived a couple of blocks from us. I wish I had kept a journal. This would have been my entry that night. “I had the time of my life tonight. There I was, in a Buick Skylark with Santa. He looked like he had lost some weight. Maybe the holiday stress. He smelled a little funny too. I can’t put my finger on it, but it might have been Maker’s Mark.” Much later in life, when I was reevaluating Natalie Wood’s life and death — among other things, I drank my way through Decembers.

The month had turned into an inexplicable monster, no longer enjoyable. I drowned out the sounds of it. Wood (born Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenka) was 8 when she costarred in “Miracle on 34th Street.” Precocious and a Christmas curmudgeon, until, well, watch it for yourself. Wood was 31 when she made “Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,” a very different kind of film than “Miracle on 34th Street.” Twelve years later, Wood died, and the cause is still in question. Her life went from Santa’s knee to a Catalina Island boat trip, and in between the waters were choppy, like they are for most of us. Do you want to know a secret? Every December, I watch one of those two films. Guess. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Work begins at site of planned entertainment center Parking lot in northwest Highlands Ranch is fenced off BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Residents may be curious about a portion of the parking lot east of AMC Highlands Ranch 24 that was recently fenced off. On Sept. 22, Douglas County approved a site improvement plan for Main Event, a Texas-based company with more than 30 entertainment facilities across the United States. The site is north of Plaza Drive at 103 Centennial Blvd. In early November, the county issued a Grading, Erosion, and Sediment Control Plan, which allows for site work. No building permits have

been issued and Main Event is still going through the building permit process, according to Eric Pavlinek, a project planner with the county. At completion, the entertainment center would include 22 bowling lanes, more than 100 arcade games, six billiard tables, a ropes course, a laser tag arena, a bar, a main dining area and a café, according to a spring presentation to the Highlands Ranch Community Association Development Review Committee. Main Event officials declined to comment on a timeline for the project. The entertainment destination would be the first of its kind in Highlands Ranch. The facility is comparable to Boondocks in Parker, Bowlero in Lone Tree and Round 1 at Southwest Plaza in Jefferson County. All businesses offer bowling, food and arcade games.

Part time work Security / Bellringers Many options available Perfect for retirees and students or stay home moms Car is a Plus

“Main Event is a fun place for families to eat and play together,” said Jami Zimmerman, vice president of public relations of Champion Management, which handles Main Event’s marketing. “It’s great for birthday parties and it’s very family-friendly.” In recent weeks, after seeing the parking lot fenced off and torn up in areas, some residents expressed excitement for Main Event on a Highlands Ranch Facebook page. “I’m really pleased that we will finally have a place for our teens to hang out,” one user wrote. “Our community has needed this for years.” Sports Lounge Off Broadway, a bar and restaurant that opened its doors east of the construction site, at 44 Centennial Blvd., in early September, is looking forward to having a new neighbor that will draw families to the area.

Raising the

Alcohol adds some flavor to coffee shops BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Kyle Gammage is behind the bar at The Bluegrass Coffee and Bourbon in Olde Town Arvada, he sees three kinds regulars — those who come in for their morning coffee, those who come in for a happy hour drink and a bite, and those who just hang out all day. That’s the benefit of a coffee bar business — there’s something for someone all day. “It’s all about the atmosphere here, which is different than a traditional coffee shop,” said Gammage, coffee manager at The Bluegrass, 7415 Grandview Ave. “There’s a little more camaraderie here than you get with the bar vibes.” Coffee bars blend two craft cultures — coffee and alcohol, such as beer, wine and whiskey. Both scenes include people who

are passionate about their beverages and are looking for the best quality and local purveyors. “When I first started, I worked with a local winery to offer those kinds of options to our customers,” said Shawn Manzanares, owner of Highlands Cork and Coffee, 3701 W. 32nd Ave., Denver. “People just like the ability to drink alcohol at a coffee place.” The Bluegrass and Highlands Cork are just two examples of a model that is spreading throughout the metro area — Black Eye (LoHi), Drip (Denver), Thump (Denver) and Jake’s Brew Bar (Littleton) are also serving coffee and alcohol, which is something Starbucks has experimented with as well.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCOTCH, WHISKEY AND BOURBON When it comes to the difference between scotch, whiskey and bourbon, it’s both geographic and about ingredients. Whiskey is defined as a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from various fermented grain mashes, including barley, rye, wheat and corn. It is usually aged in wooden casks. Scotch is whiskey made in Scotland, while bourbon is whiskey made in the U.S., usually Kentucky. Scotch is made mostly from malted barley, while bourbon is distilled from corn. Source: Liquor.com

t’s always better to catch your favorite musicians at a concert in a small venue — the smaller the better. It provides a feeling of intimacy, of communing directly with the artist.

At 8 p.m. Nov. 24, the venue is celCOMING to simultaATTRACTIONS ebrating neous milestones at its Fifth and 14th Anniversary Party. The concert is in honor of 14 years of the Hi-Dive, and five years under its current ownership. “When I used to play in punk bands in my teens around Clarke Reader Denver, I always said owning and booking my own music venue was my dream job,” said Curtis Wallach, owner of the Hi-Dive. “And it still is, even though the reality of it is far different than I assumed it would be.” The show features six bands: Ned Garthe Explosion, Sleep Union, Extra Gold, Slynger, Really Good Bad Boy Club and Five Mile Woods. Their genres are as eclectic as their names imply. Extra Gold is influenced by honky tonk and outlaw country, while Slynger blends surf rock with folk and alternative sounds. You never know what you’re going to find at the Hi-Dive, and that’s something worth celebrating. “The bands are indicative of the diversity of Hi-Dive’s overall calendar,” Wallach said. “We love the folks who love us. They’re a great group to party with.” Support local artists, burgeoning school band High school marching band is often a first, and all important, foray for budding musicians into live performance, working as a team and honing their craft.

The Kentucky Coffee is one of The Bluegrass’ specialties, made with Benchmark Bourbon, Kahlua, steamed milk, espresso, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream, and topped off with whipped cream. “It’s actually really great to be part of someone’s morning routine,” he said. One of those customers who make the coffee bar a regular stop is Tom Robinson, who works at the nearby School House and Kitchen. “It’s cool that I can make my coffee alcoholic on a whim,” he said with a laugh, as he waited for Gammage to make his drink. “Olde Town is a great place for coffee, but this is where I always come. It’s really one of my favorite places in the area.”

Guests can also sing Christmas carols from the 1830s and 1840s with music students from the Colorado School of Mines, and enjoy Mexican hot chocolate, hot cider and traditional biscochitos.

Pottery sale returns just in time for holiday shopping

olorado GalSONYA’S lery of the SAMPLER Arts, in the Annex Building at Arapahoe Community College, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, is the scene for the annual Arapahoe Ceramics Guild Holiday Pottery Sale. Mugs, plates, casseroles, vases, Sonya Ellingboe pitchers and other handcrafted pieces by students and instructors are available at reasonable prices on Nov. 30 (10 a.m. to 8 p.m.), Dec. 1 (9 a.m. to 8 p.m.) and Dec. 2 (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Admission is free and the sale is open to the public. Help with history Architectural historians Diane Wray Tomasso and Michael Paglia are nearing the end of a lengthy survey of significant buildings in the Littleton Boulevard corridor, from Broadway to Windermere, contacted for by the City of Littleton. They are short on photographs and memorabilia, what Tomasso calls “archival materials,” to supplement their work to date. Do any of our readers (or their families) have articles from the Littleton Independent, photographs, slides, movies, ephemera (i.e. menus or “perhaps someone’s father owned the Dutch Boy Donut franchise”) or architectural drawings from 1950 to 1980? If so,

‘Seussical’ is whimsical musical delight on Littleton stage Town Hall Arts Center hosts version running about 90 minutes BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The entire stage floor is painted in bright swishes of color, so one practically dances to one’s assigned seat at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center (scenic design by Michael Duran) to await the appearance of Cat in the Hat, Horton Gertrude McFuzz, the Whos and other characters we know and love. “Seussical,” the musical by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (coconceived by that pair with help from Monty Python’s Eric Idle), is the Littleton theater’s choice for the holidays — directed with a tongue firmly in cheek by Robert Wells and perfect for family outings. (Or for grandparents, out on their own!) We are told that Wells wisely chose the short version, so run time is about 90 minutes, including intermission. A familiarly shaped red and white striped lampshade hangs on a suspended light fixture at center stage.

Charlie Schmidt as the Cat in the Hat and Lars Lundberg as Jojo get acquainted in Town Hall Arts Center’s production of the musical “Seussical,” which plays until Dec. 24. PHOTO BY GARY HUFF

Music begins and in strides the versatile Charlie Schmidt, who pops on that hat and becomes the whimsical Cat in the Hat (as well as a number of other central characters sporting the same red and white striped socks.) Horton the Elephant (Brian Murray) appears, concerned about a faint cry for help that’s coming from a flower — a tiny voice from a

creature “no bigger than a speck of dust.” (A pitch for tolerance blends in here.) He is joined by JoJo, the young Who “no bigger than a speck of dust,” in singing the trademark concept of Dr Seuss: “Oh the Thinks You Can Think!” Jo Jo (Lars Lundberg) and the entire Who family, wear a bright yellow wigs and individual costumes that

are a variation on clever patterns with yellow, green and turquoise. All the actors’ costumes, designed by Terri Fong, with neon-colored wigs and fancy details, are really outstanding — eye candy in addition to the “ear candy” of the score and script. The timid Who parents worry that JoJo thinks too much! Music director Donna Debreceni orchestrated and recorded the bouncy score and choreographer Kelly Kates created dance moves for all — from wee Whos to a loud trio of spangled birds, to a bumbling elephant — and of course, that nimble Cat, who weaves it all together. Sour Kangaroo (Cassie Lujan, who can really belt out a song), the Wickersham Brothers and a gang of rude monkeys all introduce a naughty/negative note, while Gertrude McFuzz, with her single tail feather, introduces another concept to think about — be careful what you wish for. Mayzie La Bird (Alison Vance), a vain, self-centered sparkly bright blue creature with plentiful tail feathers, leads a trio of tropical feathered individuals, who mock poor Horton. Mayzie even leaves her egg for him to hatch while she splits for sunny climes — and he patiently sits and sits …

What is there to be thankful for? Well ...

Cherry Creek quarterback Alex Padilla was under pressure most of the game as unbeaten Eaglecrest notched a 26-7 Class 5A quarterfinal victory over the Bruins on Nov. 18 at Legacy Stadium in Aurora. JIM BENTON

Eaglecrest ends Cherry Creek’s season Game gets away from Bruins late in second half BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek’s offense was bottled up in its own territory most of the second half and the Bruins were ushered out of the Class 5A state football playoffs after a 26-7 quarterfinal loss to unbeaten Eaglecrest. The Bruins only trailed 6-0 for most of the first three quarters of the game played Nov. 18 at Legacy Stadium in Aurora, but the Raptors took advantage of good field position and Creek mistakes to pull away. Cherry Creek, which has won eight state championships, ended the campaign with a 9-3 record. “I’m proud of my kids for the kind of year they have had with the injuries we’ve had,” Creek coach Dave Logan said. “They played hard all year. I’m proud and thankful for the effort. We’ll be back. You can’t win it every year. “There are other good teams,

other talented teams. This is the best Eaglecrest team that I’ve seen. We are still a young team. We don’t have many seniors, especially on offense. We have to learn from this, go back to work and try to take the next couple steps next year.” Creek never managed to take the needed steps against Grandview in what was a close game until the end of the third quarter. The Bruins’ defense was stiff and held the Raptors to two field goals in the first half. The offense, playing without leading rusher Jayle Stacks, moved the ball in the first half but had a 24-yard field goal blocked at the end of the second quarter. “We kind of struggled a little bit on offense,” senior Dimitri Stanley said. “They kind of kept us on one side of the field most of the game and unfortunately that did not turn out too well for us. They were just the better team.” Cherry Creek started four drives deep in its own territory, which gave Eaglecrest a field position advantage. A Creek recovery of a fumble on a punt was nullified by a Bruins’ penalty, which eventually led to an

Eaglecrest touchdown that gave the Raptors a 13-0 lead with 23.1 seconds remaining in the third period. Two interceptions set up Eaglecrest for two more touchdowns. The Raptors scored twice in 57 seconds and three TDs in a 6:38 span to seal the win. “We had a couple really in opportune penalties that backed us up in the third quarter,” Logan said. “When you play this late in the season against really good teams, you can’t make as many mistakes as we did. We had a field goal blocked. There were some plays there that we needed to make.” Cherry Creek, thanks to squib kickoffs by Eaglecrest with a 26-point lead, finally took advantage of field position and managed a touchdown drive that concluded with 4:41 remaining in the game. Quarterback Alex Padilla threw an 8-yard scoring pass to Marcus Miller. “The overall season was a success,” Stanley said. “We did our thing when we needed to except for the last game unfortunately. I just feel bad we couldn’t send all our seniors off on a good note.”

hanksgiving is a day for a tasty meal, watching some football and having fun with family and friends who are like family. Thanksgiving is a time to offer thanks for many things that are sometimes overlooked like hugs, good health, OVERTIME children, grandchildren, dishwashers, snowblowers, good car batteries on sub-zero mornings, friends, a companion dog, spellcheck and short lines. I could go on and on, but for sports fans, here are Jim Benton just a few things for which to be thankful. Thankfully the Colorado High School Activities Association will likely change the Class 5A alignments for football leagues and hopefully someday might figure out a way to decide state playoff soccer games without using a shootout. Thankfully the 4A and 5A state basketball tournaments have returned to Denver. There are other thankful athletic things like upsets (except against the team you are supporting), last-second victories or walk-off hits, rallies, more attention being paid to concussions, gluten-free Nut-Thins and one league in Major League Baseball that doesn’t use the designated hitter.

Proposed volleyball change This is an assumption and I know assumptions can be dangerous. I assume that maybe some members of the CHSAA volleyball committee were at the Nov. 10-11 state volleyball championships at the Denver Coliseum and realized change is needed. On Nov. 13, the committee unanimously recommended a bracket format starting for next year’s tournament and that proposal will go to the Legislative Council for approval in January. If approved it would mean no more pool play, an extra day of the tournament and all classifications would use a modified double elimination format sometimes referred to as the Olympic Crossover Bracket. That means no more tiebreakers, meaningless matches when a team has already secured a semifinal berth, and the possibility that sessions can start on time instead of the finals starting an hour and 40 minutes after the scheduled start, which happened on Nov. 11. I was at the Coliseum for over 12 hours on Nov. 11 before Castle View finally wrapped up the Class 5A title. r With the new proposal, the top four i seeds in each class would receive first t l SEE BENTON, P23

The bracket, a sample of which can be found at CHSAANow.com, becomes single-elimination in the semifinals, which differs from the double-elimination format used in the baseball playoffs. The volleyball committee’s proposal is something else to be thankful for.
