¡Hola! to ‘Project Ñ’
Venture profiles children of Hispanic immigrants
By Peter Jones enise S o l e r had her “aha!” moment in the late 1990s in Miami. She was in her mid20s at the time and living in a city where more than half of the population was born outside the United States. But she was still grappling with her place as a first-generation American-born U.S. citizen with Cuban and Puerto Rican ancestry. It was during some light banter with several other young Hispanics that she suddenly felt an affinity for more than her proud ethnic heritage. She realized that other Latinos had similarly grown up with an odd mix of cultural tradition and an ongoing, sometimesawkward assimilation into the broader culture. As the evening’s lighthearted conversation with Eduardo (turned Eddie) and Ramon (turned Raymond) ensued, a bittersweet smile crossed Soler’s face while her childhood memories began to pour like sangria. “As a third-grader, people would call me Denise Soler System. Now, I think it’s funny, but

it made me cry when I came home,” she said. “I thought I was alone having my own experience on the outside looking in and straddling two different worlds. Then I realized I was actually in the company of not only the people there in the room, but every single person that had been born with immigrant parents.” Before long, Soler – a name pronounced with an ever-soslightly rolled r – realized there was even a name for this brand of bicultural identity. As it happened, she was an “Enye,” a shorthand quasi-generational term derived from “eñe,” the word for “ñ,” the distinct Spanish letter to which many Denverites
became accustomed through the city’s onetime Mayor Federico Peña. Confused? Think Generation X or Y with a Hispanic twist. “We like Celia Cruz, who’s like the queen of salsa, but we also like Madonna,” said the now locally based Enye, in defining her “generation’s” cultural identity.
Enyes and frienyes
In the years since that fateful bull session in Florida, Denise Soler Cox – a new name that came by virtue of her marriage to a “frienye,” a non-Hispanic “friend” of the Enye community
– the now 43-year-old woman has sought to shed light on the stories, culture and challenges of her ever-growing community. Cox says she knew there was a book, movie or something else just waiting to get out of the ongoing conversation – but what is a graphic artist without a film background to do about it? “It was one of those ideas that wouldn’t let me go,” she said. The wait is over – sort of. A short film called Project Ñ will make its premier during CineLatino, Sept. 25-28, a Hispanic film festival, at the Sie Film Center in Denver. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
Unlike most festivals, audience members, particularly those who qualify as Enyes, may have the opportunity to get involved, even after the documentary is screened. The short film is just the first step in a much larger project that will eventually include a full-length movie and an ongoing interactive Web presence. Henry Ansbacher, a locally based Emmy-winning and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker, is collaborating with Soler Cox. Ansbacher’s credits include last year’s American Mustang, a documentary produced by south metro’s Ellie Phipps Price. Continued on page 2
Jewels of Highlands Home Tour benefits DPS, Sept. 21
Those who enjoy peeking behind closed doors of northwest Denver’s homes will have the opportunity to see some of the jewels in the community at the upcoming Jewels of the Highlands Home Tour, Sunday, Sept. 21, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. For the third year, Brown International Academy is partnering with Nostalgic Homes to present this year’s tour. Eight spectacular homes in the Highlands neighborhood are anticipated to be open to the public. Homes on the tour range from new craftsmans, mid-century moderns, to stunningly renovated Victorians. A Victorian on 30th Avenue features a unique combination of a renovated 1891 Victorian joined with a modern three-story addition. Another Victorian on 32nd Avenue was once residence to former Denver Mayor W. F. R. Mills. Also featured on the tour is a custom-built, Pasadena-styled bungalow. All homes are fantastic examples of traditional to new architecture that shouldn’t be missed. Tickets are $20 in advance, $15
for seniors and $25 on the day of the tour. Tickets can be purchased online in advance at JewelsOfHighlands.com or at Nostalgic Homes, 3737 W 32nd Ave., on the day of the tour. All tour proceeds benefit Brown International Academy. Brown is a DPS neighborhood elementary school located at 26th Avenue and Lowell. Founded in 1951, Brown International Academy is particularly special because it is one of only 500 schools worldwide to be an authorized International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. This curriculum helps more than 550 of the community’s diverse children—half of whom qualify for free or reduced lunch—become responsible, globally-minded citizens. Be sure to catch the 32nd Avenue Farmer’s Market prior to enjoying to beginning your trek. All of the homes will be conveniently located within walking distance, making this tour a real “jem.” Visit JewelsOfHighlands. com for more information and to purchase tickets.
You won’t want to miss peaking inside this jewel on 3825 W. 32nd Ave. Also known as the Ford House, this home was once residence of former Denver Mayor W. F. R. Mills as well as Mary Ford, an early trail-blazing doctor. Courtesy photo

‘Project Ñ’ seeks out, tells stories of firstgeneration American-born Hispanics Continued from Page 1 “Wouldn’t it be incredible if that same experience could be shared by the 16 million Enyes that are in America right now,” Ansbacher said of 21st century Enyes. “The best way to facilitate that is through a documentary. There are so many stories, so many interesting people. I think there’s a real hunger for it. It’s all designed around a crowd-powered idea.” This attention being paid to first-generation American-born Hispanics may be more than academic. Latinos are the fastest-growing minority in the United States, as is exemplified in the 6th Congressional District, where one in five residents is Hispanic and candidates Rep. Mike Coffman and his challenger Andrew Romanoff have scheduled a debate next month that will be conducted entirely in Spanish. “I think it’s exciting to think about what will happen as more of the Enyes get woken up to that,” Ansbacher said of a growing Hispanic influence. “It’s hard to predict what that will look like in a political sense or in a cultural or neighborhood sense.” Cox agrees that it is all up in the air, when it comes to the longterm future of a slowly rising demographic that is unaccustomed to cultural or political influence. “I’m curious to see what will happen once 16 million people feel like they’re part of something, particularly young people, because when people don’t feel like they’re part of things, they might not make the best choices,” she said.

Born in New York City to a mother from Puerto Rico and a father born in New York to a Cuban father and a Puerto Rican mother, Cox (nee Soler) saw her fair share of culture in a Puerto Rican neighborhood in the Bronx and during regular trips to a church in upper Manhattan’s Spanish Harlem. Although constantly living amid the food, culture and music of her family’s homelands, Cox’s parents kept the Spanish language at bay. “They wanted me to participate and take advantage of all that was offered to me without being discriminated against,” Cox explained. Cox’s childhood turned out to be a tale of two cultures. “We lived in a two-bedroom apartment. I shared a room with
I realized I was actually in the company of … every single person that had been born with immigrant parents. - Denise Soler Cox, coproducer of Project Ñ my two brothers,” she said. “Then my parents saved up everything they had to move us to Westchester County. Back in the ‘70s, it was very non-Latino. I did not meet my first Latino classmate until high school.” Westchester is where Cox
became a real fish – or mojito shrimp – out of water. Her family simplified its last name to the more simply pronounced “Solar” and tried to fit in, even as Cox’s Chinese-American friends had an easier time of it. “I always envied them because they walked into a room and no one could take away their Asianness. Even if they were here for three generations, they always got to be Chinese,” she said. “I was first generation and I couldn’t be a Puerto Rican.” In that continuing world of contradictions, Cox would later be chastised by a Hispanic callcenter representative when she simplified her pronunciation of “Soler.” Cox would eventually travel as far as Spain and Puerto Rico in search of ways to understand her increasingly complex heritage. “Spain is the only place in the world I’ve been where I felt most connected,” she said. “I happen to have a very southern Spanish look. My name [Soler] is even more popular there. I got to be ordinary. But in Puerto Rico, I was a ‘gringa,’ which is kind of like being called a spic.” Clearly, the story of the American Enye is multifaceted and one that will be prone to multidimensional stories and endless bonus features as Project Ñ continues to seek out and tell the stories of first-generation American-born Hispanics. Take the footnoted “chicken stories,” which may eventually comprise a whole section of the project. Cox, for one, recalls visiting her grandmother in rural Puerto Rico. “All of a sudden, she went with a machete and whacks the head off this chicken,” she said with a laugh. “The next thing I know, I’m watching a [headless] chicken running all over the backyard and we had chicken for dinner.” As for fluently speaking the language of her chicken-chopping grandmother, Cox admits that she is a work in progress as she continues her role as a sometimes self-conscious Hispanic swimming in the American melting pot. “The more I drink, the better I get,” she said with a smile.

Su Teatro to revisit award winning ‘Enrique’s Journey’ Sept. 18 – 28 Su Teatro announced its original adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize winning book, Enrique’s Journey, will open the 20142015 theatrical season Sept. 1828 at the Su Teatro Cultural and Performing Arts Center at 721 Santa Fe Drive. Adapted for the stage by Artistic Director Anthony J. Garcia, who also directs the play, Enrique’s Journey is based on the book written by journalist Sonia Nazario, which won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting for her story of a Honduran boy, “Enrique,” who travels the tops of the trains through Mexico in a quest to reunite with his mother in North Carolina. In 2014, the story has been multiplied many times over as an estimated 70,000 children have crowded the U.S. borders in search of hope and survival. Like Enrique they made the dangerous trek from their homes in Central America for a variety of reasons including poverty, violence and in Enrique’s case to reunite with their families and loved ones. The company will then travel to perform Oct. 17 – Nov. 7 at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in downtown Los Angeles as they

have received the honor of being among the elite field selected to participate in the Latino Theatre Encuentro. Su Teatro was selected to be one of 10 out of 80 applicants to participate in the Encuentro. It is the largest gathering of Latino theater companies in 20 years.
Enrique’s Journey, a national bestseller, has been selected as the “freshman read” or “all-campus read” by 38 universities and scores of high schools nationwide. It was the second most likely book chosen by universities for their freshman read for fall 2010 and was named one of the best books
of the year by The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, People, The Miami Herald, and the San Antonio Express-News. It also has been chosen as a “one city, one book read” by seven cities including Denver, and has been published in eight different languages. In 2013, Nazario
published a young readers’ version of the book. For her work Nazario has won numerous national journalism and book awards, including the George Polk Award for International Reporting, the Grand Prize of the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, and the National Assn. of Hispanic Journalists Guillermo MartinezMarquez Award for Overall Excellence. Su Teatro will be offering collaborations with local middle and high schools, as well as colleges in the metro area that utilize Enrique’s Journey in the class room. The playwright/ director and actors will venture out to classrooms throughout the area to offer background and advance discussions for students in preparation for their reads and attendance of the production. The play originally commissioned by Mollie MookFiddler Artistic Director of A Theatre Group, in Silverton, was presented as a workshop presentation by the Theatre Program at Ft. Lewis College in Durango in September 2010.

Channel work to begin in South Platte River
Excavators and quarry trucks are mobilizing towards a wild stretch of the South Platte River in Littleton as Phases 2 and 3 of a major riverenhancement project are slated to begin Sept. 22 in South Platte Park near the Carson Nature Center. In 2013, Phase 1 construction altered a quarter-mile stretch of the South Platte River to assess some of the habitat-restoration techniques. The next two phases of the project will cover nearly 2.25 miles of the river and may continue into early summer 2015. The impetus behind the project is that the South Platte River is not as big as it used to be. While the channel size has not changed, the sinuosity (length over distance) has been reduced by urbanization and channel-shaping flood forces have been interrupted by flood-control dams. In addition, a significant amount of water has been appropriated for use in farms, factories and homes. As the river was tamed for a growing population, the river ecosystems have been placed out of balance. Today, the river is often a consistent depth of just a few inches spread
out 120 feet across the channel, which provides little habitat variation or refuge for aquatic life. Restoration plantings have helped hide signs of heavy equipment and access points into the river. Wildlife has returned to the project area to breed the first season after the project. When complete, Phases 2 and 3 of the project will stretch from C-470, two and a half miles downstream to Reynolds Landing Park. Trail users can expect occasional delays on bike and walking trails, and anglers may see parts of the river closed this winter. The project is designed to be completed before spring runoff, so boating and tubing should not be affected. South Platte Park visitors can expect to see and hear heavy equipment operating in a few small sections of the river. Protections will be in place to minimize water-quality impacts and the work will cause some muddiness in the water. Wintering waterfowl may be displaced to other parts of the park or local area for this season,
but should return next winter. After construction, it will take a few years to combat pioneering weeds. Restoration planting and seeding efforts are planned. While the manipulation of the river system may be disruptive to park visitors, when the work is complete the river system will offer a healthier habitat for fish and wildlife. It will take a few years to regrow vegetation and combat weeds, but the wildlife and wild look will return. The goal of the project is to create a more vibrant river system with a healthier habitat for fish and wildlife. Funding partners for the project include Arapahoe County Open Space, the City of Littleton, South Suburban Parks and Recreation, Urban Drainage and Flood Control, Trout Unlimited and several grants including from the Colorado Water Conservation Board and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Plans and updates will be posted at www.sspr.org/nature. The public is welcome to call the Carson Nature Center at 303-730-1022.
Englewood health care aide sentenced for sex assaults Parents videotaped man’s attacks in daughter’s room
By Peter Jones A 34-year-old Denver man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after being videotaped sexually assaulting an immobile victim while he was working as a nursing assistant in Englewood. Paul Bugarcic was employed by the Cherry Hills Health Care Center, where he had been responsible for caring for the braininjured patient whose communication abilities were limited to a “thumbs up” and “peace sign,” according to the District Attorney’s Office. In an effort to monitor her progress, the patient’s parents had
placed a hidden camera in the victim’s room. The footage from January showed Bugarcic twice assaulting the victim. The defendant pleaded guilty to second-degree kidnapping and assault and agreed to the 15-year sentence and will complete five years of sex-offender probation after he is released. According to District Attorney George Brauchler, Colorado’s sexual-assault laws did not require a mandatory prison sentence. “He was probation-eligible, despite subjecting this victim to his terrible crimes,” Brauchler said. “This conduct demanded more, but at the very least this sentence ensures the defendant will not victimize anyone else in our community for the duration of his time in prison.” Senior Deputy District Attor-
ney Gary Dawson said without the parents’ videotapes, the victimization could have continued indefinitely. “Who knows how long this defendant would have preyed on this victim, or others in a similar condition? Justice is giving the victim and her family peace of mind knowing that this defendant will spend over a decade locked up and away from her,” Dawson said. The victim’s family issued a statement, which read in part: “While the sentence the defendant received is well-deserved, this whole experience has been heartbreaking. The pain our family has felt is unimaginable. Our daughter is trapped in her body and she couldn’t scream for help.”

OPINION
– DENVER –
Making a good county great KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
Grass roots government and the press During the last two months, I’ve had the privilege of attending the open public meetings of the Arapahoe County Citizen Budget Committee. This is a county appointed volunteer group of citizens who advise the county commissioners on finance and budget issues impacting county taxpayers. They don’t make final decisions, but look at budgets as an oversight committee - looking at the expenditure of county funds and the many departments of local governance in Arapahoe County that all need annual budgets. This committee is government working at the highest level, watchdogs looking out for all taxpayers, regardless of political affiliation or employment. The county budget office participates with Todd Weaver providing fiscal budgets and information to the budget committee; he’s a bright young man. The past two months, the group has been examining the proposed
new casino in Arapahoe County that will be on the Nov. 4 ballot. This has a huge impact on the county budget with fiscal impacts for land use, law enforcement, highways, fire protection, zoning, and water and sewer services. The Citizen Budget Committee doesn’t like the proposed Amendment 68 for lack of fiscal commitments that have to be negotiated after the election, lack of local voter approval, and assurances that the casino will be able to make a profit and pay the extraordinary tax rates that the amendment suggests at 34 percent. While the tax revenues flow only to K-12 schools, it only amounts to about $50 annually for Colorado students. Average school pupil cost is somewhere around $6,500 annually, depending upon school district locations and state funding. The committee will submit a written report to the county commissioners outlining their fears in the near future. But, whether the report is positive, or negative, the committee has served a wonderful function of local government watching how dollars are spent in Arapahoe County and even how future dollars and expenditures may affect local taxpayers. This is good stuff. Next, they’re going to look at the new proposed county fairgrounds asking for a fiscal report at their next meeting on Oct. 15, along with looking at the newly proposed county budget for 2015.

Hundreds help celebrate Westwood Community Center opening
More than 875 people by 1 p.m. (that’s because officials stopped counting) enjoyed free food and lots of fun with a community center full of educational activities celebrating the opening of the Westwood Community Center by SouthWest Improvement Council-SWIC all day every Saturday. Westwood Library and SWIC programs emphasize youth and family service, reading and learning. The Westwood Lions Club donated free children’s eye exams. Westwood native DJ Tony Duran provided live music. SWIC’s Health Promotion team taught healthy cooking in Spanish and English. The Westwood Library brought in magicians with the City of Denver History trunk Hundreds of books were given away, encouraging everyone to start a bookshelf in their home. Basketball contests in the gym helped everyone get some great exercise by running and/or shouting encouragement. Volunteer neighbors and friends made sure everyone has a new friend and access to all the resources available on Saturdays at SWIC.

‘Odysseo’ to take flight from where ‘Cavalia’ left off By Don Bain Talking with president and general manager Normand Latourelle, Cavalia was just an experiment. Odysseo is the fulfillment of everything learned from producing a show celebrating man’s relationship with the horse. It is the final culmination of the domestication of a wild species that intertwined the destinies of humans and horses into a love affair stretching across five millennia. “There is something of the horse in our blood,” said Latourelle, during an interview Sept. 15 at the Brown Palace downtown. When he began to envision this show, Latourelle was not familiar with horses – but he saw the special relationship humans have with them and started to form the idea of celebrating the horse in a show that lets the horses play with humans in a most entertaining way. “The animals are never forced to do anything or beaten,” he said. “Sometimes a horse will just walk away and that’s OK – we call it losing a horse.” If they don’t want to play, it’s just like when we call in sick, but it happens far less often with these magnificent stallions. “Sometimes, they will walk
Normand Latourelle
away, and look back at the trainers and horses and decide to return,” he said. They are social animals that appreciate the fellowship with both humans and other horses. According to the amiable president of the company, Odysseo further explores the interaction of acrobats and human performers in congress with the horses which run the gamut of 12 different distinct breeds, from Appaloosas to Quarter Horses.
Benoît Drouet, Equestrian Director for Odysseo, with an Arabian named Choice.
“We found a troupe, or rather a group of individuals in a small village in Guinea, who learned acrobatics on the beach, so that was perfect for us as the stage is covered with sand and its not very flat after the horses run over it. They are the most skilled tumblers I have seen in my life,” Latourelle said. As a founding member of Cirque du Soleil, he has seen more than his share of acrobats. Apparently much of the scene created under the huge Big Top is a recreation of what Latourelle sees out the window of his farmhouse near Montreal. He described rolling hills and the sheer joy of seeing a quartet of horses running up into view from behind a ridge, delightfully exercising their muscles to emerge into the sun. Odysseo is an attempt to share that sense of wonder at the sheer beauty of nature – something frequently missing from the lives of concrete and asphalt sheltered urbanites. We asked if a favorite part of Cavalia was returning – a Scandinavian lady with nine white stallions that obviously adored her and she is not. “There is one girl who has six horses so it is very similar, but the space is bigger and so it is more challenging,” he said. Latourelle does not like to repeat himself and so that act simply does not fit the concept of Odysseo. “We do get to see 32 horses running free but this goes totally beyond Cavalia – it’s another world. Even though there are more horses, it’s more entertainment oriented,” he said. We asked him if the horses in the show are the happiest in the world? “I think the happiest horses eat grass all day,” he wisely replied with a nod to the American mustang. “I think these are the happiest domesticated horses in the world. “We don’t ask horses to do human tricks – we adapt to them.”
‘Odysseo’ Odysseo runs at the Big Top south of the Pepsi Center from Sept. 19 through Oct. 5 with shows at 8 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, a matinee and evening show at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturdays, plus a Sunday matinee. Tickets are available from www.Cavalia.net or calling 1-866-999-8111, 24 hours a day.
Trainer Marine Gourdon works with Sherry, a Spanish purebred.
The 41 geldings and 21 stallions in the show are exercised daily and housed in roomy boxes at night – big enough to stretch, lie down and roll about in. Each horse has a diet specified to its unique needs. They receive five servings of hay and three of grain daily, with treats such as apples, carrots, bananas and pears on Sundays. Each horses performance is only 12 minutes and is designed to simply provide the horse the opportunity to play in a certain way that comes naturally to the breed. The four-legged members of the troupe are regularly pampered with grooming, showers and rubdowns. Between show sites, they have from 10 to 22 days rest; averaging 17 days off between performance stints. Without any spoilers, Odysseo is staged under a big top enclosing a stage larger than a football field. An image screen two and a half times the size of an IMAX forms a
backdrop and during the finale, an 80,000-gallon lake appears before the audience’s eyes. We asked Latourelle what was his personal favorite part of the show. “That would be when everyone stand and applauds,” he said with a big smile. The goal of the production is to share the joy of nature with the crowd and spread happiness through the communities they visit. “Odysseo is less about the horses and more about entertainment,” he added. In fact, for some, based on the first of Latourelle’s horse-based extravaganzas, it can be a life-altering event – some people are simply unaware there is such wonder and beauty in the modern world. Having seen Cavalia during its Denver presentation years ago, we know Latourelle to be a man of his word and when he says Odysseo is far above and beyond Cavalia, that makes it a must see spectacular for all in our humble estimation. “It is the greatest show in the world!” he said in parting. We can hardly wait.
2014 Lexus CT200h F-Sport gets 42.4 mpg crossing Colorado twice By Don Bain Recently, the amazing urban commuter proved its road trip savvy on a trip across Colorado to Cedaredge and back to Denver. Along with a few miles in the city, some extra miles racked up in the vicinity of Grand Mesa and Delta, the Lexus hybrid ended up a test drive of roughly 700 miles, including crossing the Great Divide twice with a two-tank average of 42.4 miles per gallon. That is absolutely phenomenal to our way of thinking. The front seats and roomy interior provided such a comfortable environment. Our traveling companion on this trip slept for significant portions of the five-hour drive. This was despite our soundtrack for this trip venturing into tracks considered raucous or just plain annoying to our friend’s sensitivities. This came through the commuter’s 10-speaker premium sound system, which along with the 10-way power seats (with lumbar), made the long drive a lot easier on the driver. Unfortunately, our companion slept through some of the most beautiful scenery in the state – the stunning majesty of Glenwood Canyon and the glorious trip over McClure Pass through Redstone and Paonia. Now the high mileage of the CT200h might imply its some sort of gutless wonder – nothing could be farther from the case. It climbed
the passes of Colorado without complaint, possessing plenty of power to easily pass slower traffic when needed. Though we didn’t have a chance to test out its telematics capabilities, as our smartphone is in serious need of an overdue upgrade, we did challenge its supposed limitations as an urban commuter. We did this by taking it (very slowly) off the pavement onto the graded and graveled Old Grand Mesa Road and also a short distance into the Dominguez-Escalante Canyon. This beautiful hybrid had only a little more than 2,000 miles on it and taking it off the pavement made us very self-conscious of its newness. As we have not heard any complaints from the owners, we assume this was accomplished without harm to the paint or undercarriage. We don’t recommend this sort of use of the 2014 Lexus CT200h F-Sport, but if you buy one you can do whatever you like with it, right? With the rear seats down, the CT200h carried plenty of luggage for a weekend outing for two – with the lesser half of the split rear seat up for a second passenger, there was still room for a ridiculous amount of gear for the trip into the mouth of the Dominguez-Escalante Canyon. The conservation area and wil-

derness are named for two Franciscan monks who traveled through the area in 1776 looking for a northern route to Monterrey, Calif., from the mission in Santa Fe. They made it to the Utah Valley, but returned to Santa Fe through Arizona, never finding a path to the Golden State. They did return to Colorado the next year and discovered two Anasazi Pueblos near Dolores that now bear their names. This is also a lesson in the perception of others. To people in Cedaredge or Orchard City, Colo., a graded, graveled road is considered paved. Of course, few people there
drive what we would call a commuter. All in all, the 2014 Lexus CT200h F-Sport is an impressive piece of modern automotive technology – such that we can hardly wait to see what improvements are made in 2015. It’s one of the cleanest cars on the road, scoring 16 out of 20 on the EPA’s emission ratings and has a base price of $32,050. With all the bell and whistles you could want plus destination charges, it totals out to $41, 540. That may sound like a lot, but if you fit the EPA average annual mile-
age and gas does not go up significantly next year, you would spend only $1,250 on gasoline during the whole year. What are you spending on gas now? It’s not easy to build a car that is both green and very sexy but Lexus has pulled it off with this model. The 2014 Lexus CT200h FSport is probably about to be available at year-end closeout prices and we can’t think of many better ways to spend your money. That is if you are young or young at heart and will fit comfortably into a car this size. Given that, we think you’ll like it as much as we do.

Denver B-cycle launches new service for Broncos home games Denver B-cycle users will be able to ride right up to Sports Authority Field at Mile High for all eight home Denver Broncos games during the 2014 season. Under the new Bronco’s Bike Valet service announced today, riders will be able to bring their B-cycles directly to Mile High Stadium rather than docking at the B-cycle stations closest to the stadium at 4th and Walnut (318
Walnut St.) and 23rd and Clay (2301 Clay St). The Broncos Bike Valet will be located adjacent to parking lot J between gates 3 and 4 on the north side of the stadium. No extra usage charges will be incurred during the game and the B-cycles will be kept in a secure location, available for return trips, too. However, the Bike Valet will not be available as a place to originate a B-cycle
trip as no kiosk will be in place to gather user information or credit card data. “Having a bike valet service at Sports Authority Field at Mile High encourages more people to bike to events in general and will provide all B-cycle riders a seamless B-cycle parking experience by removing the worries of whether an open dock will be available when they arrive,” said
Denver B-cycle Executive Director Nick Bohnenkamp. “Thank you to the Denver Broncos for launching this initiative and making it safe and easy for fans to ride to the game.” Denver B-cycle staff will serve as staff for the valet service, which is expected to have a maximum capacity of about 500 bicycles. The valet will be open three hours prior to kickoff and close one
hour after the game ends. Riders are encouraged to bring their own locks for their non B-cycle bikes and will be able to leave helmets attached to their bicycles in the secure Bronco Bike Valet area. The Denver Broncos remaining home games this season are Oct. 5 (2:05 p.m.), Oct. 19 (6:30 p.m.), Oct. 23 (6:25 p.m.), Nov. 23 (2:25 p.m.), Dec. 7 (2:05 p.m.) and Dec. 23 (2:25 p.m.).

Visit the Schweiger Ranch for a taste of Douglas County history By Rosemary Fetter
The Ridgegate development in Douglas County lies at the far southern edge of the City of Lone Tree, where cattle once grazed and jackrabbits and prairie dogs proliferated. Now a bustling community a few miles south of Park Meadows Shopping Center, the ranch and surrounding acreage belonged to the Schweiger family 140 years ago. The three Schweiger brothers, John, Joseph and Jacob, were Austrian immigrants who established their ranch in 1874, southeast of what is now I-25 and Lincoln Avenue. Through land purchases and grants, the family eventually amassed between 4,000- and 6,000-acres, constructing a ranch house and outbuildings between 1894 and 1910. Fortunately, most of the original structures remained intact, along with remnants of an apple orchard. Like many homesteaders, the Schweigers suffered financial difficulties during the early years. To earn extra income, they decided to work in the smelters. Since no one wanted to stay behind and operate the ranch, they agreed that one of them should marry and leave the farm work to the lucky bride. In a singularly unromantic gesture, they drew straws, determining that the loser should find a wife. John, who drew the short straw, called on a German rancher in Castle Rock named George Engle, who had several eligible nieces. John reluctantly went a-courting and finally chose Anna, the most timid of group, who obviously feared and disliked him. Given no choice by her uncle, she married him. The couple’s relationship went downhill from there. John drank constantly and abused his wife, but Anna’s seven children provided her some consolation. When her daughter, Rose Toggle, died in 1988 (at age 102), she passed down her diary, which revealed the difficulties and hardships of their lives. According to Rose, John was harsh taskmaster, forcing his children, even the girls, to do heavy work on the farm. “As soon as the clock chimed 5 a.m., we’d hear father’s feet hit the floor. He would walk along the hall knocking on doors…we older children knew that if we did not heed that call we’d regret it. One half an hour later, my mother would come to our rooms and in her gentle voice tell us to get up and go to work, or else dad would take it out on us.” In the winter the older children milked the cows, cleaned the barns and washed 40 or so milk pans and a dozen milk buckets along with the cream separator and then walked to

school. “I used to be so tired when I sat down at the desk that I’d sometimes go to sleep,” she wrote. “After school it meant hurry home, about a quarter of a mile, feed the chickens, help feed the hogs, milk a few cows and help mother in the house with the cooking and the younger children. Mother was not very strong and the work she was forced to do along with having a baby every two years was terribly hard on her.” According to Rose, John felt if
his children could count to 100 and read through the third (grade) reader, that was enough education. “Raising children on the farm is one of the best things that can happen to them, providing the work was reasonable,” she said. The Schweigers prospered, however, raising cattle and a variety of crops including wheat, corn and alfalfa. At one time, flowering orchards dotted the property. The ranch would be named in honor of a passing stranger, who asked to sleep in the

barn for a few days. Each morning as he walked in the hills, the guest sang beautiful melodies that reminded the Schweigers of their Austrian homeland. When the stranger departed abruptly, the disappointed brothers decided to name their ranch for his horse, Happy Jack. Schweiger descendants worked the ranch until 1970, when developer George Wallace purchased the land. The ranch and environs have changed owners several times, becoming a state landmark in 2004. In
2008, the current owner, Ridgegate Investments, donated the ranch and surrounding 38 acres to the Coventry Development Corp., which is developing the property. The Schweiger Foundation was created the following year. The earlier phases of restoration included the barn, livery and ranch house. Work on the third phase, the granary, chicken coop, corral, loafing shed and mechanical shed, commenced this summer. The property is being restored to its 1930s appearance, when most of the buildings were constructed. Some items for a future house museum have been donated by Schweiger descendants. At this point there are no animals, but at a future time horses and goats will again be seen on the property. So far, the ranch has received more than $300,000 in grants from various sources, including the State Historical Fund, which is financed by Colorado gaming revenue. The Schweiger Ranch, which has a live-in caretaker, is open to the public for tours. On Oct. 4, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., the Ranch will hold its annual fall festival. Guests can tour the property, pick out a pumpkin from the patch, and take a hay wagon ride. The address is 10822 Havana St., Lone Tree.

BuCu West Chile Fest Chili Cook Off a ‘sizzling’ good time The Business and Culture District on Morrison Road hosted its fourth annual Chile Fest on Sept. 13. The event promoted all that makes up the local economy, including food, drinks, clothing and sports. The event mainly centered around the artistic expression of culture through art. The event is hosted at the Denver Indian Center and supported by BuCu West and other community businesses and organizations. Attendees also were entertainment for kids and those who would prefer to still be kids.
