Mezcal celebrates El Día De Los Muertos to raise ezcal hosted a celebration for El Día De Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, which is was sponsored by Don Julio Tequila and benefitted Mi Casa’s Resource Center. The Day of the Dead is a holiday celebrated in Mexico, other Latin American countries and the U.S. Mezcal has been hosting and sponsoring El Día De Los Muertos Celebration for the last six years as a fundraising event to benefit organizations such as Mi Casa. Local artists, artisans and others donate their artistic talents and time in creating the traditional and colorful candy skulls to be sold in the silent auction. Dia de los Muertos is dedicated to celebrating the lives of those who have passed on. The Aztecs believed those who are alive now are in a sort of “dream life.” This dream life ends when we pass on. We then go to the actual living part of our lives, which some of us call the “After Life, Heaven, etc.” This holiday is similar to “All Saints Day,” which is celebrated in the U.S. by those of the Catholic and some other Christian faiths, celebrating the “martyrdom” of the Saints.

LEAP kicks off season to provide funds for heating bills

Colorado’s Low-income Energy Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance with home heating bills, began accepting applications Nov. 1 and will continue to do so until April 30, 2014. LEAP is a federally funded program that provides cash assistance to help families and individuals pay a portion of winter home heating costs. The program pays the highest benefits to those with the highest heating bills and lowest incomes by family size. Applicant income cannot exceed 150 percent of the federal poverty level, which equates to $2,944 per month for a family of four. “The government recently released a report that a majority of U.S. households will pay more to heat their homes this winter,” said Aggie Berens, LEAP manager. “After two years of flat or falling prices, natural gas costs

are expected to increase by 13 percent this winter. We want to make sure that all LEAP eligible Coloradans are aware of the assistance offered by LEAP so that they can receive some help in paying these rising costs.” According to Berens, the average LEAP benefit is estimated to be $425 per household. Last year, nearly 118,000 Coloradans applied for LEAP, and 96,009 households received an average benefit of $302. To qualify for LEAP, applicants must be responsible for paying heating costs directly to an energy provider, fuel dealer, or as part of their rent; be a permanent legal resident of the United States and Colorado, or have household members that are U.S. citizens. LEAP applicants must provide a copy of valid identification and a completed affidavit indicating that they are lawfully present in the

United States. Valid forms of identification include, but are not limited to: • Colorado Driver’s License or Colorado Identification card; or • United States Military Identification Card or Military Dependent’s Identification card; or • United States Coast Guard Merchant Mariner card; or • Native American Tribal document. As defined by the Colorado Department of Revenue, other forms of identification may be accepted as well. For more information on lawful presence requirements, contact the DOR or visit www.colorado.gov/ revenue. Completed LEAP applications can be faxed, mailed or delivered to the appropriate county office. Potential program applicants may obtain an application through the following:

• Call 1-866-HEAT-HELP (1-866-432-8435) to have an application mailed. • Visit any county department of social/human services across the state. To locate your county’s office, visit www.colorado.gov/ cdhs/leap. • Download and print an application from www.colorado.gov/ cdhs/leap. LEAP eligible households may also qualify for the Crisis Invention Program and Colorado’s Energy Office’s Weatherization Program. The CIP operates yearround and provides assistance with a home’s primary heating source such as a furnace or wood-burning stove. The Weatherization Program improves the energy efficiency in homes throughout Colorado, thereby permanently reducing heating costs.

By Robert Beauchamp, senior medical director, UnitedHealthcare of Colorado Mountain peaks are capped with snow, the stores are filled with Halloween decorations, and temperatures are fluctuating dayto-day. Fall has arrived in Colorado, and that means it’s also the beginning of flu season. Influenza is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. The illness causes missed work and school days. In 2010, Americans missed 100 million work days due to flu-related illness, resulting in more than $10 billion in costs to companies’ bottom lines. The best way to protect yourself and reduce your chances of getting the flu this year is to get a flu vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control, everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get a flu vaccine. It is increasingly important to get vaccinated for people who have certain medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes or chronic lung disease, pregnant women, young children under 5 and people 65 and older. Despite the evidence and recommendations, hundreds of thousands of Coloradans won’t get vaccinated this year. Not only does that put your own personal health and well being at risk, but it increases the chances of your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors getting sick too. Consider the following:

have the flu can spread it to others from as far as six feet away. You can also catch the flu from someone who has yet to exhibit any signs or symptoms of being sick.

The flu shot is not expensive

Robert Beauchamp

Getting the shot will not give you the flu

According to the CDC, the flu shot vaccine is made with either inactivated flu viruses (and therefore not infectious) or with no flu vaccine viruses at all. Many people report experiencing flulike symptoms after getting the vaccine, such as muscle pain or weakness, but these symptoms go away after a day or two, and are much less severe than the actual flu.

Young, healthy people get the flu, too

Influenza does not discriminate against age or healthy habits. Just because you’re young or don’t typically get sick doesn’t mean you can’t catch the flu. According to the CDC, people who

In most cases, the cost of a flu shot is covered by your health insurance plan, whether you buy health insurance on your own or are covered through your employer, through Medicare or Medicaid. More employers are now offering free onsite flu shot clinics at the office. If you get the flu, the cost of treating it and the potential for missed days of work or school far exceed the cost of the vaccination.

Getting the flu shot vaccine is fast, easy and convenient

Getting a flu shot takes no more than five minutes. Most neighborhood pharmacies even offer walk-in options, so you don’t need to make an appointment. If you are unemployed or your employer doesn’t offer flu shots, you can go to your primary care doctor or nearby wellness clinic, most retail pharmacies or contracted flu shot providers. To find a list of flu shot providers near you, visit www.cdc.gov/flu/ about/qa/flushot.htm and enter your ZIP code. Make your and your family’s health a priority this year by getting a flu shot. If you do, you’ll likely be able to enjoy that outdoor patio seating and the holidays a little more.

This year, be a Halloween Hero: save your much loved jacko-lantern from the embarrassment of becoming a squirrel’s snack or the humiliation of being smashed in the street. Instead, give your Jack-o-Lantern a second life as compost! The Denver LeafDrop is now accepting carved and uncarved pumpkins for composting. Denver Public Works Denver Recycles has partnered with local Ace Hardware stores to encourage residents to compost fallen leaves and Halloween pumpkins. Keeping leaves and pumpkins out of the trash reduces the amount of waste in the landfill, and recycles these resources into a nutrient rich soil additive (compost) that can be used locally to improve soils. Your neighborhood squirrels won’t be happy, but the landfill thanks you. Recycling your pumpkin (carved or un-carved) is easy. Remove any candles, lights, or additional decorations that may have been added to the pumpkin. Then, Denver residents are invited to bring leaves and pumpkins to be turned into compost at one of the LeafDrop locations listed below.

Choose paper bags instead

As an extra incentive for residents to compost leaves this year and to encourage the use of paper bags, Denver Public Works and Ace Hardware stores are partner-

ing to give away 10,000 free leaf and yard paper bags. Unlike plastic bags, paper bags can be composted along with the leaves, saving time and energy. Starting Oct. 14, Denver residents can pick up a free 5-pack of leaf and yard paper bags at participating Denver area Ace Hardware stores with a coupon. Visit DenverGov.org/ LeafDrop for a list of participating Ace Hardware Stores and to print your free paper bag coupon. Additional bags can be purchased for about $2.50 per five-pack at any Ace Hardware store. No purchase necessary, while supplies last, limit one pack per household.

Please only bring leaves to drop sites during specified dates and times. Dropping off leaves during other times is considered illegal dumping. • Weekday drop sites are open through Dec. 4, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., Monday through Friday All leaves brought to weekday sites must be in secured bags.

VOA offers tips on how to help nation’s veterans

ecently, Volunteers of America convened a panel discussion at the National Press Club to discuss many of the issues facing America’s veterans, particularly traumatic brain injury and posttraumatic stress disorder. The panel consisted of former U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar; Senior Advisor for the Corporation for National and Community Service, Koby Langley; Jonathan Sherin, M.D., PhD, executive vice president of veterans affairs for Volunteers of America; and Kelly Caffarelli, the president of The Home Depot Foundation, which has committed more than $80 million to help returning veterans. Also in the discussion was the hopelessness that so many vets face. Demonstrated by the growing suicide rates for veterans (22 per day, on average), veterans are feeling increasingly isolated and abandoned. Throughout the discussion, the panelists continued to refer to the fact that so many veterans feel forsaken by the U.S. and that, while

applauding those who are returning from war is a significant gesture, it does little to help them with the many day-to-day challenges they face.

Ways to help

1. Identify veterans in your community and make sure that they’re included in community events. Don’t be afraid to knock on their door and introduce yourself. Let them know that you’re available if they, or their families, need help. Just knowing that someone cares and is there in a time of need goes a long way. 2. Write a letter of gratitude to a veteran; it’s a simple act but letting them know that their service is appreciated is always a good way to show your support. 3. Volunteer at

Denver, Jeffco partner with Savio House to prevent child abuse Denver Human Services and Jefferson County Human Services announced its partnership with Savio House as it implements SafeCare Colorado, an evidencebased model the Colorado Department of Human Services has embraced to build stronger families, while preventing child abuse and neglect.    “SafeCare Colorado aligns with our mission to prevent child abuse and neglect,” Jeffrey Holliday, Denver Human Services deputy manager said. “This program enables us to build stronger families, while giving parents tools to raise their kids in a loving, caring environment. Savio House has a great reputation with families and are pleased they are partnering with as we strive to expand our child abuse prevention efforts.”  “Jefferson County is excited to participate in the delivery of SafeCare Colorado services as a part of this collaborative effort to strengthen families and assist parents for caring for their young children and to expand prevention services in the State of Colorado.” Mary Berg, Jefferson County deputy director, said.

Savio House will employ six full-time SafeCare Colorado program employees that will work with Denver and Jefferson County families over the next three years. Human Services will refer at-risk families to Savio House where they will have an opportunity to voluntarily participate in the program. The Colorado Department of Human Services plans to serve 600 families in the inaugural year; 200 in Denver and Jefferson County.  “SafeCare Colorado is designed to be a program that protects and keeps families intact,” William Hildenbrand, Savio House executive director said. “We are pleased to partner with Denver and Jeffco in their efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect before it becomes a problem.” Last week, Denver and Jefferson counties joined Cheyenne, Dolores, Elbert, Kit Carson, Lincoln, Logan, La Plata, Mesa, Montezuma, Morgan, Phillips, San Juan, Sedgwick, Washington, Yuma, and the Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute Tribes to implement SafeCare Colorado.

Notice of emergency preparedness training exercise No. 8 at EHS On Friday, Nov. 8, the Englewood Police and Fire Departments will conduct an “Active Shooter Exercise” at Englewood High School, 3800 S. Logan St. in Englewood. The training will begin at 8 a.m. and will continue throughout the afternoon. The exercise is intended to prepare emergency responders in the event a scenario of this nature should actually occur in Englewood. Neighbors in the area are being notified about the training exercise. Area residents should be aware that the training exercise is taking place and should not be alarmed by the presence of law enforcement and fire/rescue vehicles and activities at Englewood High

School on the day of the training. Streets around the perimeter of the EHS property will be closed, but access will be provided to residents who live in the area. The exercise is not open to the public. Citizens and members of the media are asked to avoid the area during this event. The exercise is the first training of this nature organized by the City of Englewood and is being coordinated with neighboring jurisdictions. The training will involve six area law enforcement agencies, three fire departments, two hospitals, Englewood High School, Tri-County Health Department, and several other agencies and organizations.

a veteran’s hospital or with a local veteran’s organization. Volunteers of America has affiliates across the country and many of them provide housing and services for veterans. You can find affiliates in your area at www.VolunteersofAmerica.org. Volunteers of America also helps homeless veterans. More than 60,000 veterans around the nation are struggling with homelessness and the numbers are expected to escalate in the coming years. 4. Help out veteran families in your community by offering to

assist with lawn care and gardening/weeding/mulching, etc. When a spouse is deployed, families at home are often stretched and lawn care is often difficult to keep up. 5. Offer to provide transportation for local veterans to work or to receive medical care. 6. Donate small things like magazines, DVDs, books and clothing to local veteran organizations. While money donations are always good, many vets also cannot afford to buy small things like magazines due to limited income and high medical bills. 7. Donate gift cards for grocery stores and restaurants or help to prepare meals for veteran families either by adopting those families in your community or through veteran organizations such as Volunteers of America. 8. Provide foster care for a pet while a deployed soldier or wounded veteran is receiving medical care away from home. 9. Start a veteran support operation in your community

by hosting an event (bake sale, 5K walk or run, etc.) to raise funds in support of veterans. You can ask your homeowners association, church, synagogue, school, etc. to help in organizing donations. 10. Offer your services as a babysitter or tutor to a family with a deployed or wounded service member. 11. Don’t be afraid to ask veterans and their families directly how you can help and what they might need. Then rally your community together to help support them. Most veterans are reticent to ask for help so you might need to contact family members to best determine what they might need. Check with national charitable organizations too to see if they can assist in providing whatever support is needed. Build a neighborhood support group to assist veterans and families. 12. Ask your employer if your company has a veterans hiring program. If not, see if they’d be willing to set one up and then assist in working with local job programs to help in finding veterans and providing employment.

Older workers, young veterans focus of job readiness program for ‘long-term unemployed’ The Denver Office of Economic Development launched the first local class of the Platform to Employment program, a unique and ambitious curriculum that specifically targets the needs of workers who have been struggling with unemployment for six months or more, Nov. 4. Denver is the seventh city in the nation to launch a P2E program with the support of AARP Foundation, Citi Community Development and the Walmart Foundation. Across both urban and rural settings around the country, the P2E program has placed 80 percent of its participants in work experience programs, and nearly 90 percent of its graduates move on to a full-time job. “Two demographic groups who often find themselves in this category of long-term unemployed are workers over age 50 and veterans,” said Paul Washington, OED executive director. It is precisely these two categories of workers, with far-reaching needs ranging from financial counseling to mental health services for families, who are the focus of the P2E job readiness program, Washington said. “Being out of work is challenge enough, and for those workers who are unemployed for more than 27 weeks, the challenges to remain optimistic and find sustainable employment only grow,” said Ledy GarciaEckstein, OED’s acting director

of Workforce Development. “We are pleased to bring this program to Denver and introduce the members of our first class, a mix of these young veterans and older workers.” With an estimated 4.1 million Americans unemployed for 27 weeks or longer (as of September), long-term unemployment remains a significant concern to reviving the American economy. P2E offers two phases of service, the first being a five-week preparatory program that includes workshops on resume writing, interview preparation, self-marketing and other skills. During this time, participants and their families will have access to optional behavioral health services and counseling through local providers. Following the preparatory program, P2E helps participants find positions with local employers who have job openings. The employers get a risk-free evaluation of these new hires during an eight-week trial period where wages are subsidized by the program. AARP Foundation funds specifically go to serving long-term unemployed workers who are older than 50 years of age. This population continues to spend longer periods of time looking for work and securing a stable income. AARP Foundation is working to reverse the downward spiral that many older Americans

and their families face. With support from Citi Community Development, P2E participants will receive financial counseling and credit rebuilding assistance through area nonprofits so they are better equipped to face the significant financial challenges many families confront during extended periods of unemployment. This training is essential at a time when many are financially overextended and have endured a reduction in regular income, or have none at all. With additional support from the Walmart Foundation, P2E includes veterans in its target group to serve. The unemployment rate for veterans has remained much higher than the national average, as service members returning from Afghanistan and Iraq have struggled to find work. “As one of the nation’s largest private employers of veterans and those on active duty, we share The WorkPlace’s vision of a country where every veteran has a chance to succeed economically and support his or her family,” said retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Gary Profit, senior director of military programs at Walmart. “Walmart is committed to making that vision a reality by supporting organizations and programs that provide job and skills training to our veterans. These young men and women stood up for us, and now it’s our turn to stand up for them.”

Englewood school board taps new member Ebert replaces the late Gene Turnbull By Peter Jones ongtime Englewood resident Kevin Ebert has been named to the Englewood Schools Board of Education after the death of his predecessor and the cancellation of this week’s school board election. Ebert, a 22-year district resident and the father of current and former Englewood students, was the unanimous choice of the board on Oct. 29 when five finalists were interviewed at a special public meeting. “I feel like I know the district well,” Ebert said. “I am just thrilled to be on the board right now. I think I will be able to add value and take this school district to the next level.” Ebert replaces Gene Turnbull, who died in September after a long illness. His death came after the board cancelled the election because three candidates, including Turnbull,

were seeking three positions. Ebert was not one of those hopefuls. “I had known the other candidates and I felt they would do a great job. I was very comfortable with Gene being on the board,” Ebert said. The accountant and business owner has had a long relationship with Englewood Schools. His 20-year-old daughter attended schools in the district and graduated from Englewood High School in 2011. His 13-year-old daughter attends Englewood Middle School. Ebert is currently vice chairman of the Englewood Arts Board, which has instigated Strings Attached, an afterschool music-education pro- Kevin Ebert gram. “We started with violin and now we’ve expanded to sons from very talented people viola, piano and guitar in each derived from Colorado Symone of the elementary schools,” phony Orchestra and beyond.” he said. “We give low-cost lesEbert’s vision for the dis-

trict is one of long-term excellence as the district prepares to open a stateof-the-art $42 million combined middle and high school campus. The renovated Englewood Middle School building will in turn become the new home for Colorado’s Finest Alternative High School. As the historically troubled district moves forward, Ebert says he would like to see the organization be the best it can be. “Right now, we are on the cusp of turning a corner,” he said. “My vision is to have the school district and the community aligned with each other. My motto is a school district can be good, but it can’t be great without community support.” Ebert is less certain about proposals for a charter school in the district. Last month, the Board of Education unanimous-

ly rejected the idea for a second time. Supporters of the proposed Carlton Academy have said they may submit a third application or appeal the matter to the Colorado Department of Education. The accountant and board member-elect would have joined colleagues in rejecting the proposed school if he had been on the board at the time due to budgetary issues and skepticism about proposed school locations. “I am not against a charter school in the community. What I am against is a charter school that has the potential to fail,” Ebert said. “I found considerable holes in the budget that concerned me. I know all the buildings in the area and I felt there was going to have to be too much improvement capital. If they can get the process worked out a little bit better, I think they have a strong opportunity in coming here.” Ebert was to be sworn in Nov. 7 along with the other incoming board members, Tena Prange and Jason Sakry.

Power to the people KINDLING

By Robert Sweeney

Politics 101 may be changing Well the ballots are in and are counted. Without knowing the results (The Villager goes to press before election results are in) here are a few guesses on the outcome. I realize that making election predictions is like forecasting the weather. However, it seems to be a reasonable outcome that the largest tax hike in history Amendment 66 will go down in flames. While a portion of that amendment is vi-

tal for all kindergarten students to be able to go to school for the full day, it is only a small portion of the proposed tax hike. Certainly in a state and nation founded on public education we should not be charging little kids to attend kindergarten and then only allowing those who can pay to attend the afternoon school sessions. Some of our able legislators should be able to fix this inequity with some proposed legislation that will not require a billion dollar tax hike. Public school should be open for all students regardless of age, race, religion and economic status. I would predict that the Amendments taxing marijuana will pass. Since people are going to smoke it, why not place a heavy tax on the recreational usage of the products? Seems like this allows everyone to get what they want and enables the taxpayers to benefit from this substance similarly to alcohol taxation. We’ll see how the voting turns out. If you didn’t vote, you need to go register now and be ready

for the 2014 election that will be coming soon with major political races. Looking forward, it seems that our political structure is changing and becoming more like European countries with more political parties entering the fray and all of the parties needed to form a new government. Republicans have the splintered Tea Party to deal with; Democrats are closer together, but some Democrats are troubled by Obamacare and the rising national debt. We have Libertarians that believe in less government and a strong legal system. There are those that favor social legislation and still harken to issues of immigration, gay rights and abortion that drive their personal political agenda. It would seem that the major thrusts going forward are to end the wars, keep the military strong, and bring them home. It’s time to curtail government spending and do a long-range plan to reduce the debt over a specific amount of time with a balanced budget.

Creating jobs is a job for the free enterprise system, not the federal government. Voters need to figure out where they belong in his myriad of beliefs and vote accordingly and join with the party that best represents them. Lastly, it would seem that we need new leadership at the highest level. The nation will be searching for a new presidential leader and we need to find some new younger leadership in both major political parties. I’m tired of the Bushes, the Clintons and now the Obamas. We need some new leadership going forward and some of the best leaders are state governors. Stay informed – newspapers are still the best source of accurate information and are coming back strong, along with implementing long overdue Web access to the major news of the day. Remember that the people are still in charge of this nation and that power comes from the bottom upward, not the reverse. Power to the people!

‘Passport to Paris’

Eugene Boudin, Trouville, Beach Scene, 1881. Loaned by Frederic C. Hamilton.

a delightful romp through 300 years of French a rt By Rosemary Fetter

he Denver Art Museum’s latest blockbuster exhibition, Passport to Paris, takes a new look at French art through a series of three related exhibitions that demonstrate the evolution of French art from the 1600s to the 1900s. The works illustrate the strong connection between the revolutionary changes in French society at the time and their reflection in the art world. “Artists never created in a vacuum,” said Angelica Daneo, associate curator of painting and sculpture, Denver Art Museum. “This was a time when major shifts in politics and society made Paris the artistic center of Europe and the leading capital for taste, culture and fashion.” The three sections, Court to Café, Drawing Room, and Nature as Muse, move visitors along smoothly, providing a comprehensive experience that incorporates music from each time period, sculpture, costumes, furniture, and even French wallpaper and moldings. The Colorado Symphony provided a soundtrack for the Court to Café audio tour, featuring the music of French composers. On Saturdays at 1 p.m., Nov. 2 through Feb. 9, various CSO ensembles will perform afternoon concerts that celebrate the canon of Classical Music. For information on CSO Masterwork concerts planned in conjunction with the exhibition, visit www.coloradosymphony.org. Visitors get their first glimpse of this magnificent show in the largest section, Court to Café, a traveling dis-

play that features masterpieces from the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Conn. Four themed sections comprise the exhibition, from the large paintings of orderly classical baroque era to the smaller works created for French nobles during the era of Louis XV and more briefly, XVI. The moralistic pre

and post-French Revolution section brings to life the everyday experiences of Frenchmen, the rise of the Middle Class and the first whispers of the Industrial Revolution. The last, more familiar grouping shows works from the latter half of the 19th century, when Paris was entirely rebuilt under Napoleon III, first president of the Second Republic (1850-1852) and emperor (1852 – 1870). Although seldom credited by history, Napoleon’s inspiration created modern Paris, today’s City of Lights. Another kind of revolution occurred in 1841 when an American portrait painter named John G. Rand invented paint tubes. Artists could finally work outside, en plein aire (in open air with natural light), and the results changed art forever. The Impressionists heyday (1871-1879) inspired popular works by Monet, Pissarro, Renoir and Toulouse-Lautrec, seen in this part of the exhibit. The movement became quite popular in the United States, inspiring artists like Childe Hassam and Winslow Homer. As a result, American museums own more French Impressionist works than France. Another radical shift, this time led by Paul Cézanne and Dutch artist Vincent Van Gough, would bridge the gap between late 19th-century Impressionism and early 20th century Cubism. Not to be missed in this part of the show is a series of film clips, the first genuine movies ever made. They were created by the Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, and first shown in Paris in 1895. Lasting approximately 50 seconds, the films include scenes from real life, including La Sortie de l’Usine Lumière à Lyon, or workers leaving the Lumière factory in Lyon (46 seconds) and a parade of

The brothers created approximately 10 of these short films using revolutionary processes that they refused to sell because they believed there was no future in film. The exhibition then moves into Drawing Room, a smaller display that includes works on paper from the Edmond Bradley Martin Collection. Various techniques from ink sketches to pastels demonstrate works in progress, some of them drawn by artists featured in the Court to Café section. “This is a rare opportunity to view the work of the masters, including Degas, Monet and Van Gough, not just their paintings but also their sketches and drawings, which is often the foundation for later masterpieces,” said Christoph Heinrich, Frederick and Jan Mayer, director of the DAM. The third very important piece of the exhibition: Nature as Muse, French Impressionist Landscapes, features approximately 36 works from Frederic C. Hamilton’s private collection and DAM holdings. The Hamilton collection has never before been on view to the public. This part of the show becomes particularly interesting simply by narrowing the focus to landscapes, allowing visitors a new perspective and more intimate experience with some of the artists seen earlier in the exhibit. A hands-on section, the fourth part of the exhibit, allows budding artists young and old to try their hand at creating a masterpiece. Parents might want to bring along a change of clothes for the youngest future Monets and Van Goughs, just in case.

Your Weekly Horoscope – By Gren Chatworth SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Take your financial program to the cleaners and try to iron out recent errors of judgment. Don’t press your luck by changing investments in midstream. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Upheavals can stimulate old wounds. Visualize your self-victorious over stress and strain. Make confidence by building a daily ritual. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Do not discount your potential. You have an enormous ability to calm a touchy situation that will confront you this week. Reach out to those who seek your advice and learn to love unconditionally. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Don’t corner yourself through harsh words this coming week. Things could heat up at your place of work. Remember to understand your co-workers are to your advantage, as it will pay off later on for you.

PISCES (Feb 19 – March 20) Skirt around difficulties that might arise in your domestic life. Your partner is more understanding than you realize. Give a little more in your dealing with others. Payoff time will come because of your patience. ARIES (March 21 – April 19) My advice to you this week Aries is to stay away from murky relationship waters. Keep your own counsel rather than wearing your heart on your sleeve. Resist trips and offers that look too good to be true. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) Don’t let the drudgery of everyday life steal your spirit this week. Take a walk through a field of wildflowers and refresh your soul. Stress could be a factor at work at this time; so a little quiet time is needed. GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) The subtle pleasure of a job well did can make your day complete. Try and spend a little time on a pet hobby that requires attention to detail. Don’t let another ones impatience disturb you – especially at your work place.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22) Cosmic discord spells chaos for the flighty so keep a cool head in spite of topsy-turvy conditions. The romance in your life will escalate this week, which could be very pleasant for you. LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) When it comes to money matters is extra cautious. Don’t be influenced by desperate people out for a quick buck. Best not to invest this week in anything!! VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22) Elevate your mind through thought-provoking discussions. Send out life-affirming thoughts to those near and dear to you. Domestic harmony is highlighted in the next few days. LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22) Balance career aims with your core beliefs and soul wisdom. A sturdy roof won’t be well served without a strong foundation. Eradicate domestic squabbling before tackling higher aspirations.

Documentary explores plight of wild horse ‘American Mustang’ to premiere at Denver Film Festival

By Peter Jones In some ways, Ellie Phipps Price is not the typical animalrights advocate. She was raised on the Diamond K cattle-breeding homestead that gave Highlands Ranch its name. She was also a regular participant in the Arapahoe Hunt, an Englishstyle “foxhunt” – or American horseback coyote chase – that was revived by her grandfather, Lawrence Phipps Jr., in 1929. “A lot of my best friends are ranchers,” Price said, acknowledging the cliché. “The lifestyle and the values of good responsible ranching is something I respect. Some of my favorite people are members of that hunt.” It would come as no surprise that Price is a horse lover and a skilled equestrian, though one might find irony in American Mustang, a new documentary for which the former south metro resident served as executive producer and writer. The film, narrated by actressenvironmentalist-vegan Daryl Hannah, makes a charged, yet accessible, critique of the federal government’s management of wild horses. While “cowgirls” have been known to speak their minds, their words have not typically put them at odds with the cattle industry. “There will be members of my hunt and members of my family who will say I’ve gone California,” Price said. The northern California vintner will be on hand when American Mustang premieres this week in 3D at the Starz Denver Film Festival. The documentary screens again Nov. 10 at the Wildlife Experience. Director Monty Miranda will also appear in person. As the film portrays, DNA confirms that wild horses of a kind were indigenous to North America

before moving into the Eastern Hemisphere and eventually being brought back to the continent by Spanish conquistadors. Western U.S. expansion resulted in uneasy coexistence with the undomesticated animal. Although the filmmakers will find few who “disagree” with their sweeping three-dimensional images of wild horses in gallops of freedom, the message of American Mustang will be more complicated, especially for ranchers whose livestock have long competed with grazing horses on public land. Cattle outnumber wild horses by a margin of 5 to 1. Enter the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, which for decades has operated an extensive capture and relocation program.

American Mustang

We’re tearing apart families. It’s not sustainable, and most of all it’s not humane if they continue to round them up and stockpile [wild horses] in holdings. - Ellie Phipps Price, executive producer of American Mustang

In the last 40 years – in Colorado alone – the animal’s habitat has been reduced by almost half with nearly 300,000 acres “zeroed out.” The new film American Mustang, which was shot in 3D and ventures to raise awareness of the issue, is part of the Denver Film Festival and will be screened Nov. 10 at Wildlife Experience.
