Not many parents dread their child’s third birthday. But Kristin and Jared Hoover, parents of 2½-year-old Jacob, who has Down syndrome, worry that Jacob’s learning progression will cease when he turns 3. At 3, the family’s Developmental Pathways services — including Jacob’s occupational therapy — will terminate for two years, until he begins school when the state takes over to provide assistance. “Zero to 3 is covered,” Kristin said. “Three to 5, there’s kind of a gap.” And those two years are a critical time for growth and development in a child’s life, said Ja-
son Berney, media and event planner for the SUN Foundation, the fundraising arm of Developmental Pathways. “Jacob has developed so incredibly well,” Kristin said, “but I worry about what happens to him from age 3 to 5. Will my son be able to eat with a fork or write his name by the time he goes to school?” Developmental Pathways is a Colorado nonprofit agency created to serve people, and their families, with developmental disabilities from birth to end of life. It works with six school districts in the Denver-metro area, including districts in Arapahoe and Douglas counties. The nonprofit’s Early Intervention Department provides much needed services and support for families until the age of 3. Recently, in an effort to help families with special needs children between the ages of 3 and 5, Developmental Pathways launched the 3+ Initiative. “The 3+ Iniative was created out of the des-
peration of our families looking for support,” said Melanie Worley, CEO of Developmental Pathways. “We need community support in order for this initiative to be successful.” The new 3+ Iniative was developed within the last six months, and its first public outreach event was a SUN-Raiser Breakfast Ask, which took place Nov. 13 at the Denver Tech Center Marriot. The event will most likely become annual, Berney said. It will cornerstone the nonprofit’s main event, the Pathway Client Achievement Awards, which takes place in the spring every year. Developmental Pathways, which celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, serves 5,500 people, with an additional 2,200 on a wait-list to receive the nonprofit’s services. The organization can provide services for any developmental disability, Berney said, but most commonly, it helps those with autism, cerebral Gap continues on Page 22
Hearing set for charter Appeal scheduled for group that wants to place school in Englewood By Tom Munds
tmunds @coloradocommunitymedia.com The state board of education has agreed to hear TriCity Academy’s appeal of the Englewood School Board decision to deny permission for the academy to establish a charter school within the Englewood district. The appeal hearing will be held at 1 p.m. Jan. 7 in Room 101 at the state board of education building, 201 E. Colfax in Denver. Following the hearing, the state board will render its decision. TriCity Academy applied to establish a charter school in Englewood, stating that they wanted to open the academy — a free public school of choice — in August 2015. There are currently charter schools in Littleton but none in Sheridan or Englewood. Appeal continues on Page 12

Church offers free Thanksgiving meal Mosaic to give out 200 holiday food baskets, cook up turkey dinner By Tom Munds
tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com As Englewood’s Mosaic Church closed in on its deadline for collecting Thanksgiving meals for those in need, Pastor T.J. Harris put out a plea. “We still need more turkeys,” Harris said. “We also need donations of all the other ingredients like stuffing mix, sweet potatoes and cranberry sauce.” With a goal of putting together 200 meals, he said those who want to help could also drop off gift cards for supermarkets and volunteers from the church
will use the cards to buy turkeys and other meal ingredients. The church collaborates with Englewood Schools on the project, Harris said, adding that faculty at each of the schools in the district nominates needy families who would benefit by receiving food baskets. Deadline for donations was Nov. 21, and volunteers were planning to spend their Friday and Saturday assembling the meal baskets to be delivered on Nov. 23. “I am struggling a little right now because I am caring for my two grandchildren,” said Joanne Thurman, an Englewood resident who expects to receive Thanksgiving continues on Page 22

When thanks is the reward of giving A few hundred men and women form a thin, bedraggled line that follows the sidewalk from the Denver City and County Building along the edge of Civic Center Park. They slowly shift their way forward — for some it will take two to three hours — to a 23-table buffet nearly the length of a city block, laden with all the trimmings of Thanksgiving dinner. Mikayla Sullivan, 17, stands near the end, her small frame draped in a black, wool coat, a gray Broncos cap sitting backward on her strawberry-blonde hair. She doesn’t mind the wait. She’s thankful for the food. “We can eat,” Mikayla says. She and her boyfriend are living for the moment in a pay-by-the-day motel. She smiles, holding an unlit cigarette between her fingers. She’s also thankful for her 11- and 12-year old sisters back home in Indianapolis. But when she mentions them, she struggles to keep tears from filling her green eyes. “This is the first Thanksgiving that …” Her voice trails off. For six hours on this second Saturday in November, hundreds of men, women and children dine at tables covered in golden plastic tablecloths decorated with vases of fall flowers. They spread across a closed-off Bannock Street in front of the city’s government building. David Clifton Ministries in Lakewood, a nonprofit that works with the homeless and needy, has served this dinner for 19 years with the help of an army of volunteers. They are young and old. They ladle food onto plates and clean up and carry trays to tables for those who can’t on their own. They help wherever they can. “Water,” a young woman with a nametag that reads “Savannah” calls out
as she walks along the line with a tray of cups. “Water.” JoAnn Trudell, 63, reaches for one. “Thank you for taking care of us,” she says with a smile. JoAnn, shoulder-length white hair topped by a beanie of the same color, is here with her friend, Joyce Ann Schneider, 67. They pull an empty purple suitcase they hope to fill with food to take home. “We’re not homeless, but we’re disabled,” JoAnn says. “We don’t make enough to make a Thanksgiving meal, to have Thanksgiving treats and special things — and this is just wonderful. It makes us so happy, like we’re more a part of the human race.” Most of the diners are homeless. Some have roofs over their heads, living in subsidized housing or with family and friends, but — like JoAnn — say they are grateful for a meal they cannot afford. Hunger. An anguish most of us don’t feel. But numbers prove it is very real: Nearly one in seven Coloradans faced times in 2013 when they didn’t have enough money to buy food for their families or themselves. More than one in five households with children faced financial challenges to put food on the table. More than one in four working families do not have enough money to meet their basic needs.
That’s according to Hunger Free Colorado, the state’s leading anti-hunger organization. And consider this: The Metro Denver Homeless Initiative reported 5,812 homeless men, women and children as of January in the seven-county metro Denver area. And of the 2,230 men, women and children who were at-risk for homelessness, nearly two-thirds were living in households with children. At the end of the buffet line, at an area of tables heavy with piles of jackets and shirts and pants, Heather Mondy, 38, searches for clothes for her three daughters. “Mom, I like this one,” a daughter shouts, trying on a beige, wool coat. Heather lugs a second trash bag filled with clothes to the grass where her family rests. She and her children traveled from Golden, where she lives in Section 8 federally subsidized housing, “to hang out with people who are not going to be judgmental or mean…” They enjoyed the dinner, but the clothing was a true blessing, she says. “I’m definitely going to be able to dress them warm… and cute this year.” A petite woman with sparkly sunglasses and long auburn hair, she is thankful for the day. “I’m blessed we can still come together peacefully,” Heather says, “and we still have heart for helping the ones who need our help.” At one of the tables, a 63-year-old woman leans back, eyes closed, swaying to the jazzy music from the nearby band. Her late husband was a veteran, she says. A few nights a week, she stays with her son in his subsidized apartment. She spends the other nights at St. Francis Center, a shelter for homeless men and women.
“Right now,” she says, “I’m looking for a permanent home.” She stood in line for three hours to partake of the banquet. The turkey. The stuffing. The green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. “I’m going to take some home for later tonight,” she says, then laughs softly. “And breakfast in the morning.” She speaks with graceful elegance and asks her name not be used. She’s been homeless off and on for the past six years. It’s a weary struggle she hopes will end soon. Yet she remains grateful. “I’m thankful for my health and strength, for being able to walk around,” she says. “Most of all, my spirituality. Faith is the expectation of unforeseen things. And that’s what carries me on every day.” The sun begins to sink on the outdoor Thanksgiving feast. The line is no longer hundreds deep. Diners, scattered along the tables, linger, listening to the waning melodies of the band. Simple expressions of gratitude tumble in the gentle darkness: Jackie Russell, 53, homeless: “Being alive.” Mystic Aberle, 32, volunteer: “Having a warm place to stay.” Paul Winters, 47, on disability: “Being able to give God thanks.” Tami Bigandt, 46, volunteer: “That my daily needs are met… that I have food.” True thanks giving.

Residents eye city’s path forward Session details three separate planning projects By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Frigid weather didn’t keep about 70 people from attending the Nov. 14 Englewood Forward session, where details were discussed about redoing the city comprehensive plan, the next step in the light rail corridor study and the Walk and Wheel Study. The session in Hampden Hall at the Englewood Civic Center began with consultants providing an overview of each of the projects. The members of the audience were then asked to go to the community room, where they would find more detailed information and would be able to make comments on any or all of the projects. “We need your ideas about what you think Englewood should become,” Mayor Randy Penn told the audience at the opening of the session. “Please let us hear your ideas on what you want to see retained and what you want to see changed. These projects will have impact on Englewood’s future for years to come, so please give us your visions and your ideas.” Represents of each of the city-hired consultants then presented overviews of the three projects. Bruce Meighen is the consultant’s project manager for overhaul of the comprehensive plan. He said Nov. 14 is day one of a yearlong project to develop a document about what Englewood will become in the next 20 years. “We will be meeting with groups and will be meeting with individuals one-onone to get their ideas and visions for the city’s future,” he said. “We want to know what people who live or work in Englewood think is right about the city and what needs to be changed.”
He said there also will be an online virtual workshop for people to evaluate the projects and make comments. The next speaker was Chris Vogelsang, project manager for the consultant conducting the Walk and Wheel Study. “First I want to say this project is completely funded by a grant from Kaiser Permanente,” he said. “We will be looking at ways to make Englewood a better place for people to walk or to ride a bike to their destination.” He said there have been previous studies, and plans are to build on the data compiled by those studies. Kevin Maddoux said the Next Step program is a light-rail corridor development study that will build on the results of the 2013 initial corridor study. “We will look deeper into development details,” the consultant’s project manager said. “That will include doing feasibility analysis and concept engineering to develop action plans for some of the proposed development projects. We want to look into how much can be done and how the developments can be funded. The goal is to have action plans developed in 2015.” The next phase of the meeting was held in the community room. Information displays about each of the projects covered the walls and several tables in the room. “I think it is great the city is doing all three projects at the same time because it is efficient use of time and resources,” Kate Townley said as she wrote down a comment about the projects. “Today’s meeting is informative on how the three projects fit together.” She said she is particularly interested in the Walk and Wheel Study. “I hope there will be improvements so I can get to the store and do fun stuff in Englewood without the need to use a car,” she said. “I also appreciate the fact the city had invited residents like me to make comments. I also appreciate the fact it seems the city is listening to its people.” Resident Ken Ohmstede said he attended the meeting because he wants see excit-

State poetry contest open for business Students vie for chance to represent Colorado By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com Registration is now open for a statebacked poetry competition, and prospective participants have until Jan. 13 to decide whether to be — or not to be — part of the contest. The Poetry Out Loud competition is a program designed to give high school students the ability to learn about poetry through memorization, performance and competition. Participants will pick from selected poems to interpret, with one state winner advancing to the national finals in April in Washington, D.C. The competition marks the 10th year of the program, which collaborates with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation. “It’s definitely been rewarding and we’ve had some really successful students here,” said Christy Costello, program manager for Colorado Creative Industries, an art advocacy program backed by the state’s Office of Economic Development
and International Trade. Students will interpret two poems of their choosing from selected readings. One is a poem of 25 lines or fewer, the other being a poem that was written prior to the 20th century. Students who are interested in participating should encourage teachers or administrators at their school to register for the program. Registration must be done through the school and not by the individual student. State finalists will compete in Lakewood on March 3. The state champion will win $200 and an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington to compete in the national competition. The Poetry Out Loud national champion will win a $20,000 prize. In 2011, then-Thornton High School student Samuel Opoku won the statewide competition and finished fourth in the national competition. However, the contest isn’t just about winning, Costello said. “The goal of program is to teach memorization and to keep poetry alive across the nation,” Costello said. For more information about the competition, go to coloradocreativeindustries. org or call Rachael Deagman at 720-2533337.

Time once again for thinking about thanking We still haven’t managed to screw up Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a great day to be together with your family and friends, and to consume too much. Houses still look like houses on the outside, for another day or two. We don’t dogpile for electronics or badlooking sweaters. Yet. It’s just you and gravy. Mashed potatoes and gravy. Mashed potatoes and gravy and slices of turkey with a sidecar of stuffing and cranberries. My 90-year-old friend wanted trout. So I fixed trout. We had trout and asparagus. I can’t remember the first time I ate asparagus. I might not have had asparagus for the first time until I was in college. It seemed like a distant vegetable, like artichoke hearts. Some vegetarians make allowances for turkey, chicken and seafood. I don’t get it. I don’t have any heartwarming stories about Thanksgiving, or even any funny ones. I spend most Thanksgivings by myself. Don’t go getting sad. Holidays don’t mean very much to me. Days mean a lot to me. Maybe if I had little Vera, Chuck and Dave things would be different. But I don’t. I have Smitty on Thanksgiving. And I might have a little bit of Jennifer, but it’s only after she has spent most of the day with her kids. I guess this is a meaningful Thanksgiving story. At least it’s meaningful to me. I was asked to draw the Thanksgiving mu-
ral for our classroom when I was in the fifth grade. I don’t remember how I did it or where I did it. I must have done it right there on the same wall where it was taped up on Parents’ Night. I probably drew it with colored pencils and crayons. It was meaningful to me because I was being recognized for something that became my major in college and my major in life. I’d like to know what my references were. Indians, pilgrims, and what else? I have never been very good at drawing groups of people sitting outdoors at picnic tables with overfilled plates in front of them. But I guess I was good enough. It must be very interesting for parents to see what inclination and talent their children exhibit. “Oh, no, Anouk. He likes to make candles.” The father of a well-known candle maker said just about that. Now his son is a millionaire. How do we become who we become? How do we wind up where we wind up? Biographies and autobiographies interest
To maximize magic, minimize mayhem Here comes Hanukkah and here comes Christmas. Wait … first we get to enjoy Thanksgiving, don’t we? Studies show how much better retailers do when they begin promoting the holidays sooner. However, I wonder how we all do as consumers during the rush and crush of the holiday season. Do we focus on the magic or do we get swallowed up by the mayhem? I can’t think of a “Black Friday” in recent years where we didn’t see some type of news report where someone was trampled or where chaos erupted in an effort to make sure that people were first through the door and would be guaranteed a newly released game, toy or gadget. Our desire to “have what we want” instead of “wanting what we have” feeds the instant gratification demons within us. And sometimes the result is a demonstration of behavior that strips others of their dignity as we take out our anger and disappointment for not getting what we want when we want it
me more than fiction does. How did Edgar Allan Poe become Edgar Allan Poe? Poe died when he was only 40, and there are still question marks about his death. Some think that he died from alcohol poisoning. Another theory is that he died from rabies, maybe from a cat bite. Poe kept cats. Where was I? Thanksgiving. As I said, we haven’t ruined it yet with music and decorations and gift shopping. That comes later. The next day. The days between Thanksgiving and Jan. 2 are very chimerical. Unreal and unrealistic, like no other span of time during the year. I don’t particularly look forward to it. I did at one time. There was time off from school, and the smell of a fresh-cut tree in the house. Until the 1960s when someone came up with the idea of an aluminum Christmas tree with a nearby rotating light, that changed the color of the aluminum from red to green to blue to yellow. It was dreadful. Santa didn’t touch our cookies. He did leave a note, however. “Your tree is reprehensible. S. Claus.” It took me a while to warm up to stuffing. Not now. But keep those giblets away from me. Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for reading. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Why the silence on school shooting?
on some very nice, unassuming and undeserving employee. Advertising and marketing, cause and effect, right? The ad agencies and marketing wizards do their jobs extremely well and drive the hype. In turn, that hype contributes to the mayhem. Again, companies will point to top line revenue and profitability that keeps them in business and gives them a stronger position that enables them to serve us better
Since the day after the tragic shooting at Arapahoe High School there has been a deafening silence when compared to other school shootings. The release of the sheriff’s report came almost 10 months after the incident. And only recently has the media covered concerns from two security guards who expressed that more should have been done by the school administration to head off this tragedy. Now in the article in last week’s edition, Superintendent Scott Murphy wants to continue that silence based on his statement in the article. He makes the claim that “much of the conversation, however is based on inaccurate information, rumor and innuendo” and that respect for the “privacy of all in our community” should be reason enough to close the discussion. Actually LPS should be more forthcoming than they have been. The district’s lack of a full and transparent discussion has been a disservice to the community. Parents of students at all

Chess great speaks out on Putin Kasparov shares his story and views with business leaders in Denver By Mike DiFerdinando
mdiferdinando@colorado communitymedia.com Russian Garry Kasparov, hailed by many as the world’s greatest chess player, can no longer return to Moscow to visit his mother because his political activism against the government makes it dangerous to do so. Instead, they meet in Tallinn, Estonia. He flies in from New York City, where he now lives with his family. She comes in from Moscow. “It’s the closest capital to Moscow, so that is where I meet my mother. She’s 77. It’s too late for her to move to America,” Kasparov said at a Nov. 15 luncheon in his honor at the University of Denver’s Iliff School of Theology. The Colorado Business Roundtable and the Wyoming Business Alliance hosted the event. Kasparov gave an impassioned speech to more than 60 business and community leaders about the dangers of the Vladimir Putin-led Russian government, the importance of energy independence and social and political tension between Russia and neighboring Ukraine. “Some of the messages that Mr. Kasparov spoke to today about leadership, and globalization of the economy, and how we interact and ramifications of lack of decisions and lack of decisions of strength impact the world globally as well as us here in the United States,” Colorado Business

throughout the year. I totally get that, I guess I just wish we could find the right balance between the magic of the season and the mayhem that comes along with it. Now there are many people who have figured this formula out. They have become adept at shopping throughout the year so that when the holiday season hits, they have no need to fight the crowds on “Black Friday” and for the following four or five weeks. There are others who have become masters of online shopping and have minimal need to compete or wait on line. And when I see how the online shoppers and early bird shoppers appear emotionally and attitudinally as compared to their frenzied counterpart shoppers, the calmness is discernible. Now shopping may only be a part of the mayhem. Others experience a real anxiety when it comes to the holidays. They have developed a perfectionist mentality and
Roundtable President Jeff Wasden said. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, of the former Soviet Union, one of Russia’s most famous sons rarely visits the home he has dedicated his life to trying to improve — because of political pressure. Azerbaijan, which had been incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1920, proclaimed its independence in October 1991 before the USSR officially dissolved. Kasparov became the youngest-undisputed world chess champion in 1985 at age 22 by defeating then-champion Anatoly Karpov. He was ranked as the No. 1 player in the world for 225 out of 228 months from 1986 until his retirement in 2005. He is also famous for being the first world champion to lose a match to a computer under standard time controls, when he lost to the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue in 1997. Since his retirement from the sport, Kasparov has instead been trading moves in the political arena as one of the most outspoken critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin. “People always want me to compare Putin’s strategy with my chess expertise, and speaking about Russia, I always say it’s irrelevant because in chess we have fixed rules and predictable results and in Russia its exactly the opposite,” Kasparov said. “As for the international arena, Putin plays poker and he’s a very good player. In poker it’s not about the quality of your hand, it’s about your ability to bluff. And Putin regularly has a very weak hand — say a pair of nines — but he acts as if he has a royal flush.” Kasparov was instrumental in setting up The Other Russia, a coalition that opposes Putin’s government.
everything from the decorations, wrapping paper, the lights, the music, gifts, dinners, and parties must be absolutely perfect. And the dread that something might just be excellent or even average sets them off into their own despair. If we can just remember that mayhem is akin to panic as it can be our worst enemy. Instead, we can focus on the fact that nothing is ever as bad as it seems and that all will be well. Magic. What if we focused on the magic? The magical moments found when we share a meal with our family and friends, the true magical feeling that comes as we volunteer to help others, the magic of giving instead of receiving. You see, pacing is everything when it comes to managing the magic and minimizing the mayhem that comes with the season. Are we participating at the pace that makes us feel comfortable, maybe even magical? Or are we the victim of the pace that has been created for us? Mayhem. The good news is that the choice is up to us regarding the pace and path that we choose. As Thanksgiving approaches I encourage you to give some consideration to what the

Photo by Mike DiFerdinando He has run for office, organized and participated in protests and even been arrested back home in Russia. In 2007, he ran for president as the The Other Russia party’s candidate. He was forced to withdraw his candidacy in December 2007 due to his inability to rent a meeting hall where at least 500 of his supporters could assemble to endorse his candidacy, as is legally required. Kasparov’s spokesperson accused the government of using pressure to deter anyone from renting a hall for the gathering. In August 2012, Kasparov was arrested and beaten outside of the Moscow court

upcoming season really means to you, your family and your friends, and what your personal pace will be. Let’s enjoy this holiday for everything that it is meant to be, let it set the foundation of gratitude and appreciation in our hearts and minds so that when we have finished that last piece of pumpkin pie and sipped our final cup of coffee or cordial on Thanksgiving, we are mentally and spiritually prepared to enter the rest of the holiday season.
So is it magic or mayhem for you? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we focus on the magic instead of the mayhem, it really will be a better than good holiday season.

Nov. 22 event to feature chili cook-off to benefit parks, students By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com
Mayor to flip seasonal switch Christmas-tree lighting slated for Nov. 24 Staff report The City of Englewood has shut off the city center fountain for the winter, and the site will soon be transformed into a scene of Christmas. The annual Christmas-tree lighting ceremony is slated for 5:30 p.m. Nov. 24. On Nov. 22, the 35-foot artificial tree will be assembled, and close to 5,000 decorations will find their seasonal resting places. As in years past, the Christmas tree will be located at the east end of the circular Civic Center Drive. Crews will
also decorate the trees that line the drive with strings of lights, and the city will install red globes on the streetlights headed east on Englewood Parkway. The display will remain lit through the holidays. The tree is made of five frame sections that are stacked atop one other. The parts for each frame section are connected and then clamps are bolted in place, creating a solid framework. When a frame is completed, members of the team begin attaching branches. It takes about 30 branches to cover one of the top sections and the number of branches increases toward the bottom, as each section gets larger in diameter. When Mayor Randy Penn flips the switch Nov. 24, about 10,000 lights will illuminate the tree. There will be holiday music playing and volunteers will hand out hot chocolate and cookies.
Handmade crafts, retail items and a chili cook-off all will be part of the Holiday Craft Fair being held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 22 at Englewood High School, 3800 S. Logan St. Connie Wagner and Lila Downing created the craft fair six years ago as a way to provide local vendors with an event to display and sell their items, as well as a way to raise money for areas impacted by budget cuts. The two said they expect 60 to 75 vendors to be present at the fair, offering handmade items as well as commercial products. Last year, a portion of the proceeds was used to provide snacks and drinks for students while they took all-day, state-mandated tests. Three years ago, the craft fair expanded to include the Englewood Unleashed Chili Cook-off. Englewood Unleashed is a nonprofit organization that supports off-leash dog privileges at designated parks within the City of Englewood. Eileen Sargent said the cook-off usually draws between 12 and 15 entries. Cooks can enter their creations in one of four categories — red, green, freestyle and vegetarian. There is no cost to enter the cook-off. Judges will evaluate the entries and prizes will be awarded.

Audit finds child services wanting Agency chief notes complexity of issue By Vic Vela
vvela@coloradocommunitymedia.com A state audit cites several areas of concern over the handling of cases within the state’s child welfare system. The 260-page report lays out dozens of recommended fixes to “deficiencies” that were found in samplings of cases that were screened by the Department of Human Services during the 2013 fiscal year. The findings included problems with the screening process of potential child abuse cases as well as a lack of proper state supervision over child welfare services handled by individual counties. “The audit findings collectively suggest a need for the department to improve its supervision of the child welfare system to pro-
mote strong and consistent practices by the counties to help protect children,” reads the report, which was authored by the State Auditor’s Office. However, DHS Executive Director Reggie Bicha strongly pushed back against some areas of the report during a Nov. 12 legislative committee hearing. “Child welfare practice is extremely complex,” he told the panel. The report gathers information from samplings of the 70,400 reported cases of abuse and neglect that were screened by the department in 2013. The audit finds that in some cases, “it was unclear” whether counties followed statemandated rules when determining whether cases warrant further investigation by the department. Case workers’ timeliness of initial contact with families also was a concern. In a small number of cases sampled, the audit found that “caseworkers did not interview or observe children involved in child welfare referrals within county-assigned response times.”

Presents its Annual Holiday Concert
‘TIS THE SEASON!
Other samples showed some risk assessment documents had incorrect information about families and their histories, while other reports failed to identify child safety issues. Bicha told lawmakers that his department agrees with many of the recommendations spelled out in the audit and that many of the findings dealt with issues the agency had already been addressing. Bicha also stressed that caseworkers do their best to assess each situation properly and said that mandating “one-size fits all” regulations does a disservice to the public and to each individual child’s needs. Bicha particularly took issue with concerns that counties responded in contradictory or unreliable ways to auditors’ findings that state guidelines were not being followed properly. “Having a difference of opinion, rethinking initial conclusions, or debating interpretation of law, policy and practice in a world of very limited resources should not be grounds for questioning the department’s
Appeal Continued from Page 1
Supporters stressed the desire to establish a charter school to offer area students a school of choice and to allow Englewood students who desired to attend a charter school the opportunity to stay in the community and go to school in Englewood. The proposal seeks to open the school for grades K-5 in August 2015 with about 400 students. Plans are then to have the school grow to about 675 students in grades K-8 by 2019.
This exciting concert will feature a fine selection of holiday music (and a visit from a North Pole notable!) including “Ding Dong Merrily on High”, “A Most Wonderful Christmas” and “Sleigh Ride”. A mix of other fine music for the entire family will include “Symphonic Highlights from ‘Frozen” and Bach’s Fantasia in G Minor.

testimonial evidence or validity or our reliability,” Bicha said. The department has put in place a handful of reforms over the last couple of years after news reports found troubling handlings of cases involving children who died due to abuse and neglect. Among the reforms set to launch in January will be the creation of a statewide child abuse and neglect hotline that was approved by the Legislature in 2013. The audit was requested by lawmakers, including Sen. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, who is known to craft legislation focused on the protection of children. Newell said through an emailed statement that the report “reaffirms how delicate and complex the child protection system is.” Newell said she will follow up on the findings and that additional legislation may be taken up when lawmakers reconvene in January. “We need to continue to work with the state department and counties on improving the system,” she said.
The academy also initially applied for charters from the Littleton and Sheridan school districts. The proponents of the project withdrew the Littleton application and, like Englewood, the Sheridan board of education denied the application. The Sheridan decision is also being appealed to the state board. This is the third year in row Englewood has received an application to permit a charter school to be established within the school district, but this is the first year the application was filed by TriCity Academy. The Englewood school board has rejected all three applications. This will be the first time the board decision will be appealed.

Glamour brand gets its due in Denver By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com Who knew there was a gold necklace shaped like the articulated bodies of a pair of crocodiles? It was created by Cartier for Mexican film star Maria Felix, meticulously crafted in gold with diamonds, emeralds and rubies. It sometimes was worn and, at other times, placed on a table as a sculpture. It will be among the 250 treasures that make up “Brilliant: Cartier in the 20th Century,” open at the Denver Art Museum (and not scheduled to be shown elsewhere) through March 15, 2015. Margaret Young Sanchez, who serves as Frederick and Jan Mayer Curator of PreColumbian Art at the DAM, is curator for this exhibit. She has a longstanding interest in jewelry and decorative arts, having gained a familiarity with gold work in her pre-Columbian studies. DAM director Christoph Heinrich comments, in an introduction to the beautiful catalog published to accompany “Brilliant,” that Colorado has a connection to Cartier — Evelyn Walsh McLean was a Cartier customer for decades, beginning with the 1908 choice of the Star of the East Diamond as a wedding gift from

On a return trip in 1912, she bought the legendary blue Hope Diamond. She and many others among the world’s wealthy were regular customers for the spectacularly designed and crafted jewelry, watches, clocks and smoking accessories. The show has seven thematically organized sections that cover the years 1900 to 1975. Cartier’s Heritage Department assisted Young-Sanchez, as did international jewelry specialists, in organizing the exhibit. Divisions begin with “Aristocracy and Aspiration,” after Louis Cartier joined the firm in 1898 and younger Cartier sons Pierre and Jacques brought their energy, through 1918. Paris was the center of a cosmopolitan society whose members could afford the elaborate Cartier jewels and decorative objects. “The New Outlook” includes Art Deco design 1918 to 1939. “Foreign Fascination” covers a similar period but looks to Egypt, India, Islam and East and Southeast Asia for both design inspirations and potential customers. “The Art of Smoking” section of the book begins with a photo of actress Marlene Dietrich in top hat and tails, smoking — a glamorous custom that required bejeweled cigarette cases, cigarette holders, cigar cutters, lighters and more. Here, objects for men, “The Masculine

It includes lighter scale design, although glamorous in the extreme. This exhibit is a coordinated look at an era that had as many individual stories as overlapping conflicts. It’s an opportunity to enter another world for a few hours.
When Miki Hashimoto closed Japon, an 18-year fixture in Wash Park, it was a shock to our sushi systems. But the venerable owner, who was lured to the United States 26 years ago at age 15 by the movie “American Graffiti,” promised to return to Denver’s dining scene. And he’s done just that with the recent opening of Tokio, a 60-seat ramen, binchotan grill and sushi spot in the burgeoning Prospect neighborhood at 2907 Huron St. “Dining at Tokio is the most authentic Japanese experience one can have in Denver, and we are very excited to bring the unique flavor of real Japanese ramen, binchotan grilling and imported Hakushika sake and spirits to the Prospect neighborhood,” Hashimoto sad. “Tokio transports diners to a small house in Japan where only the freshest, highest quality delicacies are served, and we know that our patrons will taste the difference.” During the media menu tasting on Nov. 12, Hashimoto and his crew prepared an array of goodies including a spicy B&B roll, vegetarian ramen (with house made noodles) bacon-wrapped asparagus, shumai (dumplings) and yakitori chicken skewers from the binchotan (Japanese charcoal) grill. Each course was paired with sake samplers — four tumblers of sake neatly served on a plate bearing each drink’s name. Tokio’s decor is industrial minimalistic, designed by Kanji Ueki, who also helped design the original Apple retail stores. Downstairs is the hopping and happening space with sushi bar seating and a long community table made from a piece of ash that Hashimoto found in Longmont. Upstairs is a more romantic and intimate surrounding with a sake bar. Parking is available in the lot behind the restaurant, and reservations can be made at www.mytokio.com or by calling 720639-2911.

Thrillist.com, the website that brings you all the lists you never knew you needed to know, has compiled “Every important American airport ranked by its food/drink.” Coming in at a respectable No. 8 — out of 72 — is Denver International Airport. Here’s how Thrillist made its picks: “We did it like this: First, we broke down every essential airport by the number of planes that fly in, plus region so every state was included. Then we looked up every single restaurant and bar available at each spot, and broke the airports down into four tiers. Once we had the tiers, we went deeper and figured out our proper rankings, paying particular attention to two factors: a) whether the options were unique and illustrative of the foods of that region, and b) the quantity of quality places available. But we tried to weigh the first factor higher, so smaller airports with more local food got more credit than massive places with 85 chains.” About DIA, Thrillist said, “Considering you’re legally allowed to get Rocky Mountain high (though not at the airport), this place is a delight, and not just because Steve’s Snappin’ Dogs hot dogs are `delivered directly from New Jersey.’ They’ve Parker continues on Page 20

Shark leaves prints all over art world Lyons man gives lecture in Denver museum series By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe @coloradocommunitymedia.com “I like artists with an iconoclastic approach to their work — I’m drawn to the artist whose work I find unusual,” Bud Shark said in answer to an audience question as he ended a session in the Denver Art Museum’s Logan Lecture series. He said he had worked with more than 160 artists — and they tend to come back for more work. Shark founded the nationally recognized Shark’s Ink in 1976 in Boulder after completing a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree from the University of New Mexico, where he worked with Tamarind Institute of Art, known for its printmaking. He said he learned about lithographs first while on a Christmas break from Madison and his course was set from then on. Now established in Lyons (he fortunately was not washed away by last year’s flooding) he is constantly publishing technically innovative prints in an edition sized by the artists’ reputation, which Sharks Ink sells to private collectors and museums. He has been in the business for 38 years, printing lithographs, monotypes, woodblocks and other relief prints for well-known artists from across the nation who seek to produce a different sort of image. Shark’s Ink has an apartment at the print shop where visiting artists can stay while working with Shark. They stay 10 days to two weeks, he said — praising his wife Barbara’s cooking. They arrive with suitcases filled with a variety of items.
“Before the Fall” is a flip book of illustrations by Stacey Steers. Published in 2009, it is in the Denver Art Museum Collection. Photos by Bud Shark
Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Conn.; and the Library of Congress, Hirshhorn Museum and Smithsonian Institution in Washington. Among the artists who have worked with Shark’s Ink is Stacey Steers of Boulder, who creates award-wining handmade animated films, nationally recognized for their quality. Her film “Night Hunter,” includes 4,000 collages, focusing on early actress Lillian Gish in a haunting role. A 2009 project with Shark, which is included in the Denver Art Museum’s collection, is a 6”x 11” flip book, “Before the Fall/After the Fall,” with 90 collage images. It was published in a limited edition of 20. There will be a new series of Logan Lectures in the spring. They bring in prominent and often unique artists to talk about their work. Check the museum’s website in early 2015 for dates and times, denverartmuseum.org.
Shark showed slides of his work with Enrique Chagoya, a California-based, Mexico-born social satirist, who arrives with magazines and comic books as a starting point. His work has been exhibited in Denver. They were using paper made from mulberry bark, such as the Maya might have used, Shark said. Usually, prints are two-dimensional and many techniques and various media are used, but for Red Grooms, he created a three-dimensional lithograph. In the 1980s when Grooms was very successful, Shark’s Ink printed an edition of 75, which sold for $10,000 each, he said. The artist doesn’t pay Shark’s, he said. The studio’s income is from the sale of prints in its inventory. Prints published by Shark’s Ink are found at New York’s Museum of Modern Art; New York’s Whitney Museum of American Art; Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York;

‘Red Ranger’ is colorful tale Aurora Fox offers musical for holidays
IF YOU GO
By Sonya Ellingboe
sellingboe@colorado communitymedia.com New holiday fare offers a pleasing alternative to “A Christmas Carol” and “Miracle on 34th St.” this season. “Red Ranger Came Calling” plays Nov. 28 to Dec. 20 at the Aurora Fox — a musical story for kids and grown-ups alike. This will be the second place in the nation to produce this play, according to 11-year-old Aidan Flaugh, who plays Red. It was originally developed by BookIt Theatre in Seattle, which creates plays from established books, using the text and narrative. In this case, it drew from cartoonist Berkeley Breathed’s “Red Ranger Came Calling: A Guaranteed True Christmas Story,” based on a story about Breathed’s
“Red Ranger Came Calling” plays at the Aurora Fox, 9900 E. Colfax Ave., Aurora, from Nov. 28-Dec. 21. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $28-$31 adults; $24 students, seniors; $14 children under 12. Call 303-739-1970 or visit aurorafox.org. father. It’s 1939. There’s a boy everyone calls Red, due to his obsession with Buck Tweed, Red Ranger from Mars and Protector of Grateful Princesses. Director Charles Packard sent out a note about the casting and his decision to cast a child in the lead: the aforementioned Aidan, a Littleton resident, with young Sean Wilson as understudy. “They are fully competent, talented performers and are ageappropriate. They will keep you and your kids fully empathetic and engaged in the huge conflicts of the show …” Breathed’s original artwork inspires the
sets and costumes and each character tells his own story in Book-it Theatre style Red’s parents send the 9-year-old to stay with his Aunt Vy one Christmas during the Depression — on Vashon Island, Washington, where it rains all the time. His only buddy is Amelia, Aunt Vy’s dog. His kind aunt tries to cheer him up by making him a Red Ranger shirt from a worn pajama top, adding to his depression. “Who ever heard of spending Christmas in the rain?” he grumps. He goes out and meets an old man with pointed ears — an elf? He directs Red to see another old man, a nearby lighthouse keeper named Saunder Clos. Could he be Santa Claus? Red desperately wants for Christmas a Buck Tweed Two Speed Crime Stopper Star Hopper Bicycle, but knows no one in his family has money for it. He visits Saunder Clos and there’s a magical scene. Red’s Dream Ballet ensues. Aurora Fox director Charlie Packard found this play and is directing it at the Aurora Fox. He and dramaturg Brenda Cook
Ritenour met with Book-it Theatre’s artistic director, Myra Platt, to learn their specific acting style, which leaves the narrative in place as each character tells the story from his or her personal viewpoint. Aidan is the son of musicians, who taught him to sing, he said. His father, Keegan Flaugh, has played in “The Sound of Music” and “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at Town Hall Arts Center and in “Mack and Mabel” at Vintage Theatre. Aidan says he has performed in 10-12 shows and is impressed with how professional this production is. Rehearsals are every night but Thursday. The idea that it’s only been done in Seattle previously pleases him. Also in the cast: his 9-year-old sister Caitlin as an elf. Aidan attends Littleton Prep, where he sings in the choir He plays soccer and “kind of” plays baseball, when there’s time, plays piano and is learning guitar. He loves to read. Watch for his name in lights some day.
Villano brings 11-piece band to PACE Center Musician Dave Villano brings an 11-piece band, including guitar virtuoso Dan Beegle, to the PACE Center in Parker, 20000 Pikes Peak Ave., for a concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 29. They will perform traditional, Celtic and contemporary holiday songs. Colorado native Villano, said to be named after King David, who wrote the Biblical Psalms, plays violin, guitar (his favorite), Irish whistle, Uilleann pipes, piano and bass guitar. Tickets: parkerarts.org

“In the Matter of J.R. Oppenheimer” will be performed in a staged reading by the Encore Players at Littleton United Methodist Church, 5894 S. Datura St., Littleton, at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 23. The reading will be in Grant Fellowship Hall, with Charlie Carroll in the Oppenheimer role and a cast including David Lloyd, Janice Gulick, Marilyn Miller, Donna Smith, Vince Guerrie, Helen Gilliken, Duane Leeper, Perry
Nissler, Bob Stansbury, Gary Troutman, David Hixson and Bruce Weston. Director is Anawyn Shamas.

SALOME’S STARS FOR THE WEEK OF NOV 17, 2014
ARIES (Mar 21 to Apr 19) A long-sought workplace change could be happening soon. Consider reworking your ideas and preparing a presentation just in case. A personal relationship takes a new turn. TAURUS (Apr 20 to May 20) Your persuasiveness doesn’t really start to kick in until midweek. By then, you can count on having more supporters in your camp, including some you doubted would ever join you. GEMINI (May 21 to Jun 20) Your workload is still high, but -- good news! -- you should start to see daylight by the week’s end. Reserve the weekend for fun and games with friends and loved ones. You deserve it.

CANCER (Jun 21 to Jul 22) Regardless of how frustrating things are, keep that “Crab” under control. A cutting comment you might think is apt right now will leave others hurting for a long time to come. LEO (Jul 23 to Aug 22) Be more sensitive to the emotions of loved ones who might feel left out while you’re stalking that new opportunity. Be sure to make it up to them this weekend. A nice surprise could be waiting. VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22)The gregarious Virgo rarely has a problem making new friends. But repairing frayed relationships doesn’t come easily. Still, if it’s what you want to do, you’ll find a way. Good luck. LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) A misunderstanding with a partner or spouse needs to be worked out before it turns into something really nasty. Forget about your pride for now and make that first healing move. SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) Communication dominates the week. Work out any misunderstandings with co-workers. Also get back in touch with old friends and those family members you rarely see. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21)As busy as your week is, make time for someone who feels shut out of your life. Your act of kindness could later prove to be more significant than you might have realized. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) Congratulations. Your busy workweek leads to some very satisfying results. Sports and sporting events are high on your weekend activities aspect. Enjoy them with family and friends. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) Your generosity of spirit reaches out once again to someone who needs reassurance. There might be problems, but keeping that line of communication open eventually pays off. PISCES (Feb 19 to Mar 20) You are among the truthseekers in the universe, so don’t be surprised to find yourself caught up in a new pursuit of facts to counter what you believe is an insidious exercise in lying. BORN THIS WEEK: You believe in loyalty and in keeping secrets. All things considered, you would probably make a perfect secret agent. © 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Retiring? Check Wheat Ridge
Wheat Ridge was named one of the nation’s best cities for retirement, according to a new ranking released Monday by Livability.com. The city was ranked fifth on Livability’s 2014 Best Places to Retire list — the only Colorado city to make the cut. Livability cited Wheat Ridge’s numer-
ous bike trails, fitness centers, nearby mountains and ski resorts as important amenities for active retirees. Through its research, Livability found that Wheat Ridge was one of the healthiest cities it examined, with the highest percentage of residents who exercise out of all the cities on this list. The site also factored in Wheat Ridge’s support groups, abundant shopping opportunities, great restaurants, low crime and excellent health care into its ranking. Also working in Wheat Ridge’s favor is the homestead exemption Colorado provides to eligible residents 65 and older. In addition, Livability noted that Colorado residents 55 and older receive a generous retirement-income exclusion from state taxes. At 7.5 percent, Wheat Ridge’s sales tax is also lower than the national average of 9.6 percent. “We are thrilled to have Livability recognize the high quality of life that we enjoy in Wheat Ridge,” said Wheat Ridge Mayor Joyce Jay. “For residents who want easy access to both an array of outdoor amenities and all Denver has to offer, we’re hard to beat.” To see the entire list, go to www.livability.com/best-places/top-10/best-placesto-retire/best-places-to-retire/2014/

Regis defender Donovan Doyle holds onto the jersey of Cherry Creek’s Milo Hall during a Nov. 14 Class 5A football playoff quarterfinal game.

Bruins bounce Raiders from playoffs Cherry Creek bests Regis 49-21 to move on to state semifinals By Tom Munds
tmunds@colorado communitymedia.com Cherry Creek turned three fumble recoveries into three touchdowns en route to a 49-21 rout of Regis Jesuit in a Class 5A quarterfinal tilt Nov. 14. “We knew coming in that Regis is a great football team and we had to play our best football to beat them,” Bruins coach Dave Logan said. “I feel it was very important after they scored on that long drive in the first quarter that we responded in the same manner to tie the score. We played hard and we have focused on creating turnovers all year. We did that tonight and it proved to be a big factor in the game.” The victory earns Cherry Creek a berth in the state semifinals against undefeated Ralston Valley. On paper, the two teams match up well. Ralston Valley comes in at 12-0, averaging 281 yards rushing, 133 yards passing and 43.5 points per game. The 9-3 Bruins average 227 yards rushing, 123 yards passing and 33.3 points per game. The game will be played at 7 p.m. Nov. 21 at the North Area Athletic Complex, 19500 W. 64th Parkway, Arvada. Despite the frigid weather on Nov. 14, a sizable crowd turned out to support both host Regis and Cherry Creek, and both teams gave fans something to cheer about early. Each team mounted a long, time-consuming touchdown drive that took up most of the first quarter. After receiving the opening kickoff, Regis used a 16-play, 80-yard drive to get in the end zone first. The drive culminated with quarterback Matt Houghtaling throwing a 7-yard touchdown pass t0 Alec Barnes. The Bruins responded with a mirror-image drive with DJ Luke running the ball for the final 2 yards for the touchdown to tie the score 7-7 at the end of the first quarter.
The Raiders fumbled inside their own 30-yard line on their next three possessions and Cherry Creek recovered all three fumbles and turned them into touchdowns. Luke scored the first TD on a 4-yard run. Just over a minute later halfback Tyus Carter threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Carter. And with five minutes left in the quarter Milo Hall scored on a 15yard touchdown run. Henry Lyon booted all three extra points to put the Bruins ahead 28-7 advantage. Regis battled back, however, and, with less than a minute left in the half Barnes scored on a 2-yard run to make the score 28-14 at halftime. Cherry Creek’s defense kept the Raiders bottled up as the Bruins offense scored twice more in the third quarter. The first score came on Hall’s four-yard TD run. Later in the quarter, Caplis threw a 48-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Carter to make the score 42-14 going into the final period. In the final quarter, Luke scored his third touchdown of the night on a 5-yard run midway through the period. But the Raiders didn’t quit as they battled hard and Gabe Holt scored on an 8-yard run with 2:09 left in the game. Regis coach Mark Nolan’s voice reflected a lot of emotion after the game as he said it was a tough night for the Raiders. “Mistakes hurt us and we just didn’t play well,” were his only comments. On the other side of the field, Logan praised the play of his team. “Our defense did a great job for us, plus we made things work for us when we got the ball,” he said. “It was a total team win. Everyone contributed for us.” This is the first time the Bruins have been in the state semifinals since 2008. Mullen, coached by Dave Logan, beat them that year. Logan is now the Bruins head coach. After the game, Bruin quarterback Joe Caplis had high praise for all his teammates. “It was a great game tonight,” the senior said. “All the credit for our win goes to the linemen on both sides of the ball. They opened the lanes for our guys to run the ball and the defense was unreal and kept Regis in check.
Quarterback Joe Caplis looks for a Cherry Creek receiver during the Bruins’ Nov. 14 quarterfinal game against Regis. Caplis completed 6-of-7 passes for 100 yards and one touchdown to help the Bruins post a 49-21 win.
Cherry Creek defender Luke McAllister sacks Regis quarterback Matt Houghtaling Nov. 14. “A win always feels good but it feels particularly good tonight as we came into hostile territory and won a playoff game. We will enjoy this one tonight, have a big, warm pizza then get back to work preparing to play Ralston Valley.” The Bruins amassed some impressive statistics in the victory as Luke carried 16
times for 73 yards and three touchdowns and Hall added 18 carries for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Caplis completed 6-of-7 passes for 100 yards and one TD. Carter, who had four catches for 96 yards a touchdown pass, also threw the touchdown pass to Parker. Lyon kicked all seven extra points for the Bruins.

These children need the support that can come from the 3+ Initiative, she added. “It will impact them forever,” Worley said. “We are confident that the 3+ Initiative will help bridge the gap.” Depending on the individual needs of each child, one kid can potentially have a therapy team of three to 10 people, Bosch said.

Additionally, Developmental Pathways has been instrumental in helping her and Jared be great parents. “Learning to be new parents of a child with special needs is a wonderful journey,” Kristin said, “but it is also challenging, sometimes scary and sometimes even a little overwhelming.” But the experts and therapists who are part of the Developmental Pathways team identified Jacob’s “learning styles, his strengths, his greatest challenges,” Kristin said, and “develop goals to keep us in check.” She said the organization has the leadership, talent, passion and compassion to make a difference, and supporting the 3+ Initiative will help make a difference in hundreds of children’s lives, which will impact their entire future. “To invest in kiddos like Jacob is such a generous offering,” Kristin said. Jacob closed the presentation at the SUN-Raiser Breakfast Ask when he smiled and signed “please help.”

a food basket this year. “Everyone has been so nice to help us.” Harris said the church usually gets names of about 100 families from the schools. They also receive recommendations from other churches in the area, and between 10 and 15 families that belong to the Mosaic congregation will receive baskets as well. In addition to the food basket delivery, volunteers from Mosaic Church will serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal from 1-3 p.m. Nov. 27 at the Lucky U Motel, 4575 S. Broadway. “We have volunteers cook the turkeys, strip all the meat off the bone and create a turkey casserole that we serve up with all the traditional fixings like stuffing, gravy and hot rolls,” said Mosaic assistant pastor Steve Scott. “We set up canopies and then put tarps around the sides to block the wind. If it is cold, we set up heaters inside.” Anyone is welcome to stop by for the free meal. Scott said last year they fed about 85 people and they are planning for about 100 this year. “We have 25 people signed up as volunteers to help serve the meal,” he said. “Something new this year is one of our volunteers is planning some hands-on activities for children. This is a mission outreach for our church as we provide a nice meal that hopefully will help a lot of people have a nicer Thanksgiving.”
Chess Continued from Page 9
man who has mastered the art of aggression without outright military force, a man he says “wages war with banks not tanks.” Kasparov, considered a left-leaning activist by many back home in Russia, sounds conservative by American standards. He’s an admirer of American President Ronald Reagan and believes in strength through energy independence, the power of a credible threat and the use of military force against Putin if necessary. “Fracking in Wyoming did more to hurt Putin’s rule of Russia than everything the Obama administration did in six years because it eventually brings oil prices down,” Kasparov said. Many in the audience agreed with his message of a stronger stance toward Russia from the U.S. and its political allies. “I think we are still in a strategic bipolar world, at least in regard to Russia,” said Peter Moore, president of the board for Vital For Colorado, an advocacy group for oil and natural gas. “And it has become more and more clear to me that (oil) is one of our gbreatest strategic tools — low-cost energy to strengthen the United States and weaken Russia.” Kasparov also called for stronger international leadership and the necessity of nations to work in unison to stand up to oppressive governments and leaders. “In chess we have a saying: The threat is more powerful than the execution,” Kasparov said.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.
Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
