CATALYST FOR CHANGE By J. Patrick O’Leary This spring the first phase of a 300,000 sq. ft. office and retail building will rise in RiNo on Brighton Blvd. between 35th & 36th streets. It will be the core structure of a “collaborative work ecosystem” aiming to make Denver the center of the digital healthcare industry, according to Mike Biselli of Catalyst Health-Tech Innovation. Catalyst is an equity partner in the project along with Koelbel and Company and the Burgess Family; Burgess owns the property, Koelbel is the builder, and Catalyst a tenant. The Beck Group is the architect. Catalyst aims to bring together private enterprise

(startups to Fortune 20 companies), government, academic and nonprofit organizations with healthcare providers and payers to “accelerate innovation and drive real, lasting change” in the healthcare industry, according to its website. The first phase will be 180,000 sq. ft. and include more than 10,000 sq. ft. of retail as well as an events venue. Amenities will include a rooftop deck, a cafe, a fitness center and bike storage. Groundbreaking is set for April 2016, with completion of the first phase targeted in the third quarter of 2017. Biselli said Catalyst hired an “… experiential design team to think about what needs to happen” to achieve the goal of reimagining health care.

The Phase I of Catalyst HTI’s office and retail development will break ground April 2016. The initial 180,000 sq. ft. will be home to digital healthcare providers and their customers. IMAGE COURTESY OF THE BECK GROUP

PROTESTERS’ OUTBURST STUNS DENVER CITY COUNCIL MEETING

By Keith Lewis On October 26, an otherwise routine meeting of the Denver City Council was vocally interrupted by homeless-rights activists who suddenly burst into the room to protest Denver’s urban camping ban. The subject of the protesters’ ire is a 2012 Denver ordinance, which prohibits sleeping in non-permanent structures within the city. Homeless-rights activists view this law as a “War on Homeless” which essentially makes homelessness a crime by criminalizing sleeping in the park. According to protesters, this law forces the homeless to sleep in hidden, but often more dangerous places in the city. The 2012 Denver ordinance banning outdoor sleeping has been controversial since its inception. The ordinance took

“If we are going to fundamentally change the health care system, we must do it together,” he said, explaining that the physical appearance of the building is not the most important feature. “It’s all about what goes on inside… We’re building a building to allow ‘serendipitous collision’ … [tenants] interacting in a daily basis, in real time.” That translates into open, shared, collaborative spaces and open staircases, said Biselli. Although seven stories high, the fourth floor will be the epicenter of activity, home to startups and the co-working area, with mid-size companies on floors two and three, and retail on the ground floor. “Wellness will be a key component in the design of the building with a focus on natural light, clean air, and a layout that encourages activity and interaction amongst the tenants,” he said. Biselli also indicated they are seeking digital healthcare companies, as well as consumers of those technologies, as tenants. “Denver is a top ten digital healthcare cluster,” he explained. “Those organizations with an information technology component… those are the types of companies we’re going after.” Biselli said the spring groundbreaking would take place after the current tenants move, once their leases expire. “We’re being good neighbors about that.” The Burgess Family has owned property in the River North District since 1968, according to a Catalyst press release, and had been “patiently waiting” for an opportunity to create positive change in the city rather than sell. “We believe the office space of the future will be one that provides tenants the privacy they need to manage their core business, while also providing opportunity to collaborate and innovate with their neighbors,” said Carl Koelbel, Koelbel’s Vice-President of Acquisitions and Development. “The focus on healthtech will accelerate that innovation since everybody under the roof will be working together to improve healthcare.” For more information, visit catalysthealthtech.com.

effect on May 30, 2012 after a tense 9-4 Denver City Council vote in favor of its passage before another group of protestors three years ago. The four council members who opposed the ordinance in 2012 – Lopez, Shepherd, Kneich, and Ortega – voiced concerns at the time that the law sought to punish poverty. In 2012, then-councilwoman Susan Shepherd opposed the measure, telling the crowd to “watch them like a hawk,” alluding to the city officials who would be enforcing this ban. Some others on the Denver City Council thought the ban might be acceptable if there were first sufficiently available homeless shelters and services. Despite these concerns, the ordinance continued on page 12

THE SALVATION ARMY’S THANKSGIVING DAY AT WHITE FENCE FARM By Jennifer Turner For many people, their primary association with the Salvation Army is during the holiday season when the organization’s donation-seeking bell ringers are out in full-force with red kettles. While this is an important fundraiser and highly visible activity for the nonprofit, the Salvation Army, which turns 150 this year, provides essential community services year-round. This year’s complimentary Thanksgiving lunch at Lakewood’s White Fence Farm is just one example of what a valuable community partner the organization is. This is the first year of the Salvation Army’s Thanksgiving Day at White Fence Farm, and organizers are anticipating feeding several hundred people. For those interested in attending, it is important to reserve a place as soon as possible. The event is capped at 500 participants, and reservations can be made by calling 720-460-5010. Transportation is also provided. Bus pickup is scheduled for 12 pm at the Corps Community Center at 2915 High and Swansea Elementary located

at 4650 Columbine. Lunch will be served around 1 pm. All the traditional Thanksgiving favorites will be on the menu, but organizers want it to be an experience not just a meal. White Fence Farm is a lovely setting, and located on approximately an acre of land in Lakewood. The property has multiple, picturesque colonial-style buildings that house eight dining rooms and entertainment venues. It is beautifully landscaped with a pond, creek, white footbridge and many old trees. The playground, petting zoo and aviary are popular with children. Face painters and a balloon artist will also be present on Thanksgiving to assist in entertaining kids. White Fence Farm is donating all the food and some employees are volunteering their time. The company is also coordinating and paying for the buses. The Salvation Army’s Lieutenant Kelsey Pearce, who is helping to organize the event, describes White Fence Farm owners Craig Caldwell and Tom Pierce as “amazing people who genuinely care about the community.”

The Thanksgiving lunch kicks off the busiest time of year for the Salvation Army. This is largely due to the effort behind the annual bell ringing campaign, which is the organization’s biggest fundraiser. The central Denver Salvation Army hopes to raise $200,000 this holiday season, which is a lot of pennies, nickels and dimes. This may be a lofty goal considering it is increasingly challenging to recruit individuals for this activity, and some stores are limiting the days and times bell ringers are welcome. Most people who donate contribute spare change. Occasionally, someone drops something amazing into a kettle such as a gold Krugerrand coin (valued at approximately $1200), a diamond ring or large check. All the money from the bell ringers stays in the community, and is used to support the Salvation Army’s programs and services year round. Lieutenant Pearce listed the need for bell ringers as his top volunteer request. He said his ideal situation is having a team commit to an eight hour block with each person taking a one to two hour shift. Bell ringing counts as a community service activity and anyone can participate. Children younger than 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and teens under the age of 16 must have parental permission. People interested in doing a shift can go to volunteer.usawest.org to sign-up. The employees and volunteers of the central Denver Salvation Army do tremendous work yearround. In 2014, close to 165,000 people received assistance from the Salvation Army in the City and County of Denver, and over 24,000 family and individual services were distributed.

FRIDAY NIGHT BAZAAR

DENVER RECYLES 2X 10

The co-working space for artists at 24th between Curtis and Champa is called Processus. Saturday mornings, there’s a Coffee Social and starting Nov. 20, a holiday gift shop.

After a lengthy, rain-induced hiatus that submerged its location on Brighton Blvd., the Friday Night Bazaar is back with a new name, a new look and a brand new location. Founder and self-proclaimed urban alchemist Josh Sampson is thrilled to have a permanent home at 2450 Larimer for the Bazaar – one that can stand up to whatever nature throws in his path. It’s designed around local merchants, food trucks and adult beverages. Sampson is also one of the principals behind The Big Wonderful so he has a flair for weaving family-friendly elements into his ventures. This latest offering was dubbed Night BAZAAR Denver because it’s now a two-day event each weekend. While the bar is only open Fridays & Saturdays, merchants inside set their own hours. Eventually, the plan is to operate the indoor spaces daily. Indoors, the new venue has already filled up the former home of Gravitas Development Group, designer of the shipping container project across 25th. That project houses a number of successful eateries including Cart Driver and Work & Class and the two-story structure also houses the Gravitas offices. Bazaar’s converted address is a grand space with arched ceilings of exposed wood beams. The building’s footprint has been subdivided into a number of small shops for vendors, plus an ample indoor bar area. It also features a new group of vendors including Sampson’s wife, Nicolette, who curates Rosewater Creative. Her shop features jewelry and other fine items from 10 local artists. For her, the move to Larimer was a major gain. “It seems like a legitimate retail destination now,” she said. “A very desirable space.” Vendors include Goose & the Goat, Zero Market, RiNo Velo Bike Workshop, and Zero Market amongst others. One standout is likely to be Whiskey/Grade, an import from Ohio featuring apparel, accessories and riding gear – for motorcycles not horses. Many of the vendors have posted daily hours beginning at 11 am. A few are open by appointment, but all are open on Bazaar nights. Outdoors, food trucks and retail

shops on wheels ring the adjacent parking lot. Eats range from Maine lobster rolls to South African bobotie casserole, plus a little bit of everything in between. Picnic benches and fire pits offer lots of all-weather outdoor seating and a huge heated tent allows for more mingling. This begs the question of where bazaar attendees should park. “Wherever you can,” Sampson said but then promised, “We are working on valet!” Where else can you stroll around with a glass of bourbon and hot cider and some lobster tacos then top off your meal with dessert crepes made on a genuine fire truck? Did I mention there’s also live entertainment, free admission and crazy cocktails? But wait…there’s more. Sampson cautioned this is not the full vision. More plans to come in early 2016. You can reach his team through thebigwonderful. com website.

RULE GALLERY Lots of gallery shows debut each month with many vying for my attention. One that really grabbed it was Jacob Feige’s solo show. It’s his Denver debut at Rule Gallery, 3254 Walnut. “Having an exhibition in town has been a high priority since finishing graduate school ten years ago. Somehow, I had an easier time showing in New York, Britain, and other places around the world,” Feige said. “I'm really happy to finally do a show here, because Denver is the closest thing I have to a home town.” If you’ve never seen his works, they’re best described as landscapes melded with abstract elements. For this show, Feige delivered pieces that he believes have a decidedly East Coast feel. “I painted interiors of my house, which is suburban and ordinary, with cutaways, as I think of them, to abstract patterns and textures. The abstract part of my paintings varies considerably from one piece to the next, or even from one cutaway to the next. I love the idea that an abstract painting has a sense of place and time.” Feige has a long history with this particular gallery even if it’s his first Denver show. He knew the gallery’s original owner decades ago and often talked to her regarding abstracts and the West.

Now he lives outside Philadelphia and teaches at Stockton University in southern New Jersey, but he’s a westerner at heart. “I doubt that I'll ever quite feel accustomed to life on the east coast, even if I spend the rest of my life there. The pace, and the relationship to nature, is fundamentally different than in the west.” The show runs through December 5. The gallery is open Tues.Sat., 10 am-6 pm. The number is 303-800-6776. After the late Robin Rule founded Rule Gallery in 1987, the business moved several times. It was last housed in the Dry Ice building before opening this space. The building is now operated by three of Rule’s associates who hope they can keep Rule’s initial dream alive. They represent a list of artists. Currently there’s some question about the gallery’s future. Owners may face an uphill battle announced by a notice from the City posted by the front door. It states that anyone who thinks the old brick building is a landmark needs to act soon. In developer jargon, that’s an indicator that the property could be for sale and future buyers could scrap the property if no one nominates the space as a landmark. Rule’s notice is one of a handful now posted in the immediate area. Sharing the same roof and pondering its future is Hinterland, a gallery that has operated by appointment next door to Rule for the past eight years. Each month a brand new artist is featured. Check it out on First Fridays. Every month, I talk to gallery owners and artists in RiNo and Curtis Park distraught about soaring rents and studio spaces being sold to make way for more apartment buildings. Some residents fear the artists who created the initial appeal of the River North area will be driven out of the area they sparked.

PROCESSUS One solution for displaced artists could be the artist co-working space at 955 24th known as Processus. Since opening early this year, Processus has settled into a space that features a wide continued on page 7

FIVE POINTS COFFEE HOUSE STRIVES FOR NATIONAL AWARD, LOCAL HEARTS By Keith Lewis The Five Points Neighborhood continues its rapid transformation, as the once thriving Denver neighborhood with a rich African American heritage, reinvents itself for the new millennium. Despite a lull in the desirability of Five Points living in recent decades, the neighborhood is now undergoing a renaissance obvious to all of its residents today. Neighborhood Life profiles an upand-coming neighborhood landmark, Coffee at the Point. Here, the new pioneers of Five Points hold their social meetings and grab their daily dose of caffeine, often walking only a few blocks from their homes nearby. Coffee at the Point is centrally located in Five Points at the famous intersection of 27th & Welton. Owner, Ryan Cobbins, is making a name for himself by focusing on community, quality products, and exceptional customer service. National recognition has also come calling for Cobbins and his independent coffee house, which competed as one of six national finalists to be crowned America’s Best Coffeehouse 2015. In late October, Coffee at the Point baristas traveled to Portland to participate in the competition known as Coffee Fest, a coffee industry trade show. Coffee at the Point

was one of six competitive teams judged on preparation of certain coffee-style drinks, as well as the service and style of the team. Neighborhood Life congratulates Coffee at the Point on placing in the Top 5 nationally in the final competition in late October. We are so proud to have a top ranked Coffee House serving our community. Back home, the five-year-old cafe is pushing the envelope of what defines a coffee shop. It offers coffee creations plus fine loose leaf teas, beer and wine options, daily happy hours, and weekend brunches complete with bloody marys and mimosas. Reinforcing the neighborhood feel, Coffee at the Point displays a real commitment to “… Providing platinum customer service with a culture of exceeding your expectations,” says Cobbins on his website. The atmosphere feels welcoming and warm immediately as you enter. Baristas will wish you good morning, offer advice on what to order, help you find seating, and bring your food and drink orders to you. Service is their secret weapon; community is their culture. The huge 3,000 sq. ft. facility has plenty of space for a meeting, or just to sprawl out with your own personal laptop project.

Anyone interested in donating toys can drop them off at the Corps Community Center at 2915 High St. Toys can also be purchased at the Walmart at 7800 Smith Rd and will be picked-up there for distribution. All items should be new and unwrapped, and gifts for toddlers thru teens are accepted. There will always be people in need but Lieutenant Pearce stated, “when you see needs being met at a micro level on a daily basis it gives you hope and optimism. Serving one person or having one family go to bed full makes it worth it for me.” People can go to volunteer.usawest.org to sign-up and volunteer to help the Salvation Army.

Continued from x 133 elementary school students participated in after-school and character building activities. The Lambeth Family Center provides transitional housing for families in crisis and, in 2014 about 275 families were served at this facility. Additionally, on any given night during the winter, the organization provides shelter for 1,000 men and women. While bell ringing is a major focus in November & December, the Salvation Army is busy with other activities as well. It distributed over 4,000 holiday food boxes and more than 25,000 toys last

Theme nights are a nice draw. On Thursdays, patrons participate in board game night while sipping wine. On Saturdays, Coffee on the Point welcomes an eclectic variety of live music performances with no cover charge. Sundays are for Jazz, naturally. During warmer months, musicians play on the large patio outside. The music moves indoors as the weather cools. The late-night latte crowd can also rejoice. Coffee at the Point is open until 10 pm Mon.-Sat. & till 6 pm Sunday, giving you plenty of time to cram for your 8 am college exam or work a deadline, drifting as you might from coffee to wine. When you get hungry, Coffee at the Point offers an impressive menu of hot and cold sandwiches, burritos, soups, salads, and gelato. Plenty of vegan and gluten-free options grace the menu as well. Coffee at the Point attempts to use local sources for all food products whenever feasible. Beyond the daily coffee grind (pun intended), Cobbins is a family man. He displays a passion for the Five Points neighborhood to continue to transform into a place where families can thrive. Cobbins lives in the neighborhood and wants his own children to be able to walk down the street and visit their dad at Coffee at the Point. This is where his passion

for customer and community service intersect. For him, the real substance of Coffee at the Point is to provide a neighborhood-gathering place, the coffee, wine and great music is just the offerings to draw our friends and neighbors to work and relax here. One can sense a true love for Five Points coming through Cobbins as he tells the story of Coffee at the Point. For Cobbins, the central location at the Five Points intersection is a “… historical, and cultural destination spot.” Cobbins is well aware of the importance of customer service, particularly to patrons who would choose a niche independent coffee shop over a national franchise. That’s how Cobbins strives to serve his community and compete. Local artists and photographers

display items for sale on the walls and periodically hold “Meet the Artist” events. “There is a 10-12 month waiting list for local artists to display their work on Coffee at the Point’s walls,” says Cobbins. Many of Coffee at the Point’s patrons come from within walking distance of the store. It’s no wonder the friendly, service-driven Coffee at the Point has rapidly risen to a central landmark of the new Five Points. Coffee at the Point is an “Independent and Neighborhood Owned” Coffee Shop located in the heart of Five Points at 27th & Welton. Plenty of free covered parking is available in the garage on Washington just before the Welton intersection. Coffee at the Point’s address is 710 E. 26th & their number, 303955-2237.

SCHOOLS By Linda Katchens, PH. D. It’s November now and it seems we’ve almost all switched from shorts, sandals and ice cream to warm jackets and soup, except of course, for the few die-hards out there. You know who you are! The days are shorter and students are waiting in the dark for their school buses. The first term is over and parents have met teachers and learned what is planned for their children this school year. Seniors are working on college essays and making plans for their futures. No one really gets to rest much, because the holiday season is upon us as the year heads to an end. There are many issues in education in Denver. Community members must make some important decisions and Denver voters will decide in November whether or not they want to support a sales tax increase to fund scholarships for students. On September 24, Mayor Michael Hancock kicked off the College Matters campaign urging people to approve ballot measure 2A which would increase the sales tax in Denver by .08 percent to generate an estimated $10.6 million each year. The city would then create a non-profit organization, which would support local scholarship programs aimed at lower income students. If the money is used as intended, many Denver students who want to go to college will be able to pay their tuition, and this tax in-

crease would allow them to do so without accruing crippling debt. One other major issue on the ballot is the school board election. From Ballotpedia, “Three seats on the Denver Public Schools Board of Education are up for general election on November 3, 2015. District 1 incumbent Anne Rowe faces challenger Kristi Butkovich. Arturo Jimenez is unable to seek re-election to District 5 due to a four-year term limit. Michael Kiley and Lisa Flores are running to replace Jimenez. Robert Speth is running against incumbent Happy Haynes for an at-large seat.” Voters need to familiarize themselves with the issues and candidates to determine who and what to support. Most of all they need to vote! The year 2015 is a year full of issues for DPS. Its board has been mostly unanimous in its decisions since 2013. Voters could cast their ballots to elect newcomers to the board. Since Jimenez reached his term limit, at least one new member is guaranteed. One of the issues that the new DPS board will address is teacher retention, especially minority teachers, which is becoming a major issue for DPS, which has been implementing programs to alleviate the problem. Voters must decide if they want to maintain the status quo for the Board or if they want to create the possibility for change. Denver Classroom

Devon & Julia practicing their swing at the driving range at York & 23rd. Teachers Association (DCTA) is supporting candidates who may provide differing viewpoints than the current board. DCTA questions whether the direction taken for the last ten years has done enough to lessen the achievement gap, provide quality neighborhood schools in poor areas, and improve student performance. Jeanne Kaplan, former DPS board member, wrote an opinion article regarding the DPS reform movement which was published in The Denver Post on October 17: http://www.denverpost. com/opinion/ci_28979545/ no-dismal-stats-provide-answer Ms. Kaplan feels that there has been little benefit from previous DPS changes.

Voters may find reading these articles helpful when deciding how to vote. Teacher turnover has hit crisis levels in the nation, and especially in Colorado. Denver’s difficulty retaining teachers is part of a national and statewide trend: “A fifth of all Colorado teachers left their positions between 2012-13 and 2013-14 which is higher than the national turnover rate of 14 percent,” according to the Colorado Department of Education (CDE).

issue at http://co.chalkbeat. org/2015/02/03/ The Colorado Legislature has set aside $2.5 million from marijuana revenue to hire 35 to 40 health care professionals for the schools. According to Sarah Matthew director of health and wellness for CDE, adding health professionals would allow schools “to identify and help students who are showing signs of substance abuse and mental health problems.” An opinion column by Dr. Kerry Hart, President of Fort Morgan Community College, posted on October 7 takes a critical look at testing in American schools since the passing on No Child Left Behind in 2001. Dr. Hart estimates that the biggest winners since states began giving these tests are the testing companies themselves. He estimates that the U.S. is spending $1.7 billion annually and that Colorado is spending $78 million. He writes about the advantages of putting the money towards teachers and schools rather than tests. He raises some valid and interesting points that are worth reading. For the complete article, go to: http:// co.chalkbeat.org/2015/02/03/ On October 19, First Lady Michelle Obama unveiled a new website for students to receive information on continuing education after high school as a part of her Reach Higher initiative. The site, BetterMakeRoom. org, will feature information for students ages 14-19 on topics including the SAT and ACT exams, filling out financial-aid forms and college applications. Not only can students benefit from this information but, parents can also learn ways to help their children. In October DPS celebrated National School Lunch Week. DPS has been a leader amongst school nutrition association's by implementing key initiatives to serve more Denver students school meals. “School lunches are healthier than ever, with more fruits & vegetables, and whole grains, that have been implemented over the last few years, including scratch cooking and baking, salad bars in almost every school, and universal free breakfast meals, ” said Theresa Hafner, Executive

Thanksgiving Break for DPS is from Mon., Nov. 23 - Fri., Nov. 27! The DPS School Choice Expo is on Tues., Nov. 10 from 6-8 pm. at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium, 1701 Bryant. For people who are interested learning what options are available to their children, attending is a must. Save your Box Tops for Education and drop them off at neighborhood schools. Schools can then turn them in for items that benefit the school! DPS Board of Education received the school system’s recommendations for facilities placements and consolidation. The three proposals are directed at significantly helping DPS to accomplish its goal of having at least 80% of students in every region of Denver attending high-performing schools by the year 2020. One of the proposals is consolidation of the programs at Columbine Elementary, 2540 E. 29, and Barrett Elementary, 2900 Richard Allen Court, into one program to be located at the Columbine campus beginning in the 2016-17 school year. It was also recommended that the consolidation of Columbine and Barrett Elementary programs be under the continued leadership of Principal Jason Krause, current principal of Columbine Elementary. Under the proposal, Barrett students will have a guaranteed place in Columbine, but will not be required to continue in the Columbine program. Columbine staff will continue in their current positions, and Principal Krause will evaluate the need for any additional staffing needed, giving priority consideration to Barrett employees.

EXPERIENCE DOWNTOWN DENVER’S GRAND ILLUMINATION By Denny Taylor Turkey day is right around the corner, which means you probably have family arriving in town and a huge menu to plan – and the children are eagerly counting down the days until they are out of school on winter break. Celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, give thanks, and try not to get bogged down in all of the details and planning. What’s the best way to do this you ask? Get out and enjoy Downtown Denver’s Grand Illumination, that occurs the Friday night after Thanksgiving, which is on Nov. 27th this year. It’s one of the most memorable events happening in the days surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday, and you can get out of the house, entertain your guests (and at the same time show off your great city) and keep everyone happy, while you get some much-needed relaxation. A tradition that started in 1935 is now part of Downtown Denver’s Winter in the City program. Downtown Denver’s Grand Illumination event will light up Downtown with nearly 600,000

lights from Denver Union Station to the City and County Building. One of the best Thanksgiving traditions in Denver is the annual 9NEWS Light the Lights event that takes place at the City and County Building, when one of the most beautiful and popular holiday lighting displays in the region will once again transform the iconic structure. Performances will entertain the crowd at Civic Center Park for this event from 6 pm-7 pm, ending with a countdown to the lighting ceremony at approximately 6:45 pm. Or, you can also check out the lighting ceremony on the same night a bit earlier just down the street at Denver Union Station. Either one is a wonderful way to end Thanksgiving and officially start getting ready for the holiday season to come. Beginning at 6 pm, there will be special events at Denver Union Station. Following a countdown shortly after 6:30 pm, Denver Union Station will be ablaze with brightly colored floodlights illuminating the historic structure. Throughout the evening, cos-

The Bookies have many holiday gift ideas. DPS continues to develop more schools under the umbrella of the Denver School of Science and Technology such as DSST at Cole, 1350 E. 33 Ave. DSST ranks high in ACT scores in Denver in 2015. The Colorado Department of Education has released ACT score results from last spring's testing date. DSST: Stapleton High School and DSST: Green Valley Ranch High School rank #1 and #4 for 2015 ACT scores in Denver, at 24.1 and 21.9, respectively. In comparison, the average score across Denver sits at 18.3 and a student is considered college ready if they receive a 21 or higher. Manual High School, 1700 E. 28 Ave., students were the focus of an article in People Magazine, http://www.people.com/article/ little-girl-homecoming-queen-football. As a community service project, Manual students went to three-year-old little girl’s home to do yard work for her family. When Avelynn, or Avi as she is called, went out to enjoy the improved yard, the Thunderbolts met an amazing little girl who was not expected to live past six weeks. The students were so moved by her that they invited her to the 2015 Homecoming Game, and they crowned her Homecoming Queen. For the whole story, go to the link for the article, it’s heart-warming to say the least. Students who are involved with activities in high school arts, athletics, student government and the like, show higher ACT scores

than those who do not. Parents should encourage their children to get involved in things that interest and enrich them. Seniors need to make an appointment to have a one-on-one meeting with their counselors. McAuliffe at Manual is a new school opening in 2016-2017, serving students in the North Central Enrollment Zone of Denver and choice-in students from outside this boundary. For the 2016-2017 school year, McAuliffe at Manual anticipates accepting a founding 6th grade class of approximately 90-180 students. The school will grow one grade each subsequent year until built out thru grades 6-8. Modeled after McAuliffe International School on the Smiley campus, McAuliffe at Manual offers students a challenging, well-rounded liberal

arts education that is based on learner-centered classrooms, character education and international-mindedness. McAuliffe at Manual is an International Baccalaureate (IB) candidate school and will apply for Innovation Status within Denver Public Schools. Jessica Long, a passionate educator and advocate with 11 years’ experience, has been chosen to lead the new middle school that will open in fall of 2016 and serve as a feeder for Manual High School. This middle school is a critical piece in ensuring the continued success of Manual, as well as providing a much needed program for our middle school students in the area.

FITNESS EPIC FUN IN RINO FOR FITNESS ENTHUSIASTS By Keith Lewis We all know how easy it can be to backslide in our fitness routines. Sometimes you only need to inject some fun and adventure into your workout routine to cure your ailing motivation. That’s why Neighborhood Life is combing the neighborhood for cutting edge and fun fitness classes to help you jumpstart your new routine. You will have loads of fun, shed those unwanted pounds, increase energy, and reduce stress, all while supporting local businesses. It turns out; we can have it all, including a firm body. In November, we profile Epic Ryde, a longtime Edgewater-based cycling studio that recently relocated to 28th & Larimer in River North Arts District (RiNo). While Epic Ryde is built around cycling, you’d be sorely mistaken if you think that’s all they have to offer. This fun-focused gym

offers a variety of muscle melting functional movements on the bike, TRX suspension trainers, plus old-school calisthenics that will drench you in sweat. “Functional movement is fun, efficient and beneficial,” says Lori Melchior, co-founder of Epic Ryde. “Traditional weightlifting is focused on getting bigger, stronger and more powerful, while functional training is about training for life and the day to day movements and activities we participate in,” she adds. “We focus on stability, strength and rotational movements,” explains Lori. For my own workout, I checked out a noon weekday class, which consisted of about half cycling and half bodyweight movements off the bike. I quickly learned that this is not your typical spin class, nor even your typical spin bike. Epic Ryde utilizes Real

The added range of motion fires up your core more than a traditional stationary bike. During the first half of the workout, Lori led the group through a series of turns and sprints on the bike, while also adjusting the bike’s resistance from a flat road to what felt like riding uphill through sand. After a half

DENVER FASHION WEEKEND IS EDGY By Jennifer Turner November is considered a very fashionable month in the Mile High City and to prove it Denver Fashion Weekend (DFW) runs Nov. 11th through 15th. Almost a decade ago, DFW began as a hair show and it has grown exponentially into a multi-day extravaganza that many fashionistas, hair stylists and those curious about fashion have come to love and appreciate. Co- founder A.B. Aharonian with the help and assistance of Lindsay Maynard produces the event. Award-winning stylist and co-founder Charlie Price produces the runway shows. 2015 will be the biggest year yet for DFW and it will take place over four days. More than 3,500 people are expected to attend the runway shows and approximately 200-250 fashion looks will be showcased. All the action takes place at City Hall, a nightclub and events venue located at 1144 Broadway. Schomp Automotive proudly presents DFW. Each night there is a runway show with a different theme. For the first time, DFW will feature a “Non-Traditional” model night on November 11. This new concept provides anyone who has been told they don’t fit the “industry standards” for modeling an opportunity to walk the runway. October 13 was the casting call for non-traditional models, and approximately 400 people showed up hoping to be selected. The minimum requirements for consideration were participants be at least 17 years old and 5’7.” A di-

verse total of 60 plus size, petite, tattooed and models over the age of 30 were selected for the show. The clothing of Denver native and fashion industry veteran Anne Fanganello will be featured at “Non-Traditional” night. Ms. Fanganello developed the AnnaFesta Curvy Collection, a plus-size line. Her creations include colorful and chic tops, dresses, pants, and jumpsuits, as well as outer and active wear. Ms. Fanganello’s design goal is to “create beautifully fitting clothes for women with a few more curves… that take our confidence in our beauty to a whole new level.” The petite models on the runway on “Non-Traditional” night will don apparel from Inspyre boutique. Inspyre offers a wide range of fashionable clothing and accessories for the budget conscious; all items in their four metro area stores are priced under $100. The second evening will feature Lifestyle and Sports Brands. Burton is headlining the show and presenting 40 looks. The audience can expect to see the latest in snowboarding fashion, and there will be several Colorado riders in attendance that may even walk the runway. Prana yoga and Idolize streetwear will also be featured. Another label models will be wearing is L.A.M.B., which is rocker Gwen Stefani’s brainchild. Night three is the Local and National Runway Presentation. The featured designers will be Twisted Liar and Gino Velardi. Twisted

Liar is a luxury brand created by Nicklaus Jones. His inspiration for the line was his vision of what he believes New York City vampires might wear. The clothing is described as chic, sophisticated, rugged and edgy. Jones pictures vampires that “have ascended on the streets of Manhattan living in the alleys and backstreets, sucking the energy and vibe from the atmosphere” wearing his creations, of course. The Local and National Runway Presentation will also highlight Denver area boutiques Ily/Iley, Steadbrook and Fab’rik. Ily/Iley offers unique and eclectic apparel and accessories that have been “making basic bitches un-basic since 2014.” The runway shows conclude on November 15 with The Hair Show. The evening holds special significance since that’s how DFW originally began. Halo, Antoine du Chez, El Salon and Swank are a few of the salons participating this year and each one will showcase a different theme. Cutting edge fashion will also be on full display. While the looks are a secret until the night of show, past years have featured models with Goth, avant-garde, 1920s and 1960s coifs. Hairstyles paired with costume trends have also been spotlighted. If you want to check out what’s hot in fashion, DFW is a must-see. Tickets to the runway shows have sold-out for the past five years. Tickets can be purchased on 303Magazine website at 303magazine.com/DFW.

hour of cycling, Lori led the class to another room, which is filled with TRX suspension trainers and other functional fitness tools like dumbbells, ropes, mats, and more. The second half hour was even more challenging than the first, as Lori led us through pull-ups, push ups, triceps extensions, and bicep curls using various angles on the TRX. She also threw in a few planks and jumping jacks for good measure. I left the lunch hour soaked in sweat, but enlivened with energy. The workout was tough, but honestly a lot of fun. Epic Ryde’s membership plans are reasonable in cost, ranging from $20 drop-ins to $130/month unlimited plan with no contract. They also offer 5-pack and 10pack options for those seeking lesser commitments. For potential new members, they offer a $25 unlimited plan for seven days to allow you to explore the range of class offerings. There are also corporate discounts and many other options to fit any budget. Forget the turkey trot on Thanksgiving morning. Epic Ryde is offering their famous Thanksgiving workout three times this year to help you and your dinner

guests burn off some calories while grandma puts the finishing touches on her famous stuffing Thanksgiving morning. Sign up in advance, as space is limited for this fun Thanksgiving pre-meal workout. While it’s understandable to feel a little intimidated by a new workout, Lori explains “Epic Ryde thrives on creating a welcoming community for all no matter where a person is on their fitness journey. We all have different goals, expectations and physical demands in our day and our classes allow modifications for beginners to feel comfortable, challenged and excited about the workouts they get at Epic.” Fun seems to be the major focus for this RiNo fitness studio. Epic Ryde could be the neighborhood fitness class that motivates your fitness routine ahead of the New Year. Go check them out and seize the new you today! For more information, including pricing options and how to join, please visit www.EpicRyde.com or call 303-416-4907. As always, please consult your own medical professional before starting a new fitness routine.

DENVER ARTS WEEK, BIGGER & BETTER By Jacob Karp Celebrating its ninth anniversary this November, Denver Arts Week will once again showcase the city’s deeply rooted and ever-expanding local arts scene. Taking place Nov. 6-14, the weeklong festival will highlight more than 300 events across the city, bringing attention to the rich collection of galleries, museums and performing arts centers that Denver has to offer. This year is anticipated to be the largest celebration of Denver Arts Week yet, with many participating arts organizations adding new elements in expectation of a record number of attendees. Along with signature events such as Know Your Arts First Friday, Night at the Museums and the Denver Film Festival, Denver Arts Week is sure to provide residents with plenty of options for taking in the local arts community, many of which are free or significantly discounted. “Every year, Denver Arts Week showcases and celebrates Denver’s extensive arts scene,” said Jayne Buck, vice president of tourism at “Visit Denver,” The Convention & Visitors Bureau, which puts on the festival each year. “For our visitors and residents, it is a perfect opportunity to experience the cultural significance through visual arts, performing arts, film and history, and to understand its significance in the larger art community.” Denver Arts Week kicks off with a free Know Your Arts First Friday event, a night full of art walks during which dozens of art galleries stay open late and offer live music, art demonstrations and a chance to interact with local artists. The week continues with additional favorites such as Night at the Museums, when many of the city’s most popular museums stay open until 10 pm for free and Denver’s On Stage, a series of deals and discounts on performing arts events around Denver.

KNOW YOUR ARTS FIRST FRIDAY – FRI., NOV. 6 This annual kickoff event is a citywide First Friday experience, where more than 100 galleries and display spaces in the Art District on Santa Fe, Belmar Block 7, Golden Triangle Museum District, Navajo Street Arts District, Tennyson Street Cultural District, 40 West Art District and RiNo (River North) Art District will stay open late. Neighborhoods will offer live music, art demonstrations, local food trucks and more. Several

galleries will also sell original works for the “mile high” price of $52.80, a nod to Denver’s mile high elevation of 5,280 feet.

NIGHT AT THE MUSEUMS – SAT., NOV. 7 Annually regarded as the most popular event of Denver Arts Week, Night at the Museums is an opportunity to experience more than 20 of Denver’s best museums, all of which offer free admission and extend their Saturday hours from 5 to 10 pm. With more than 22,000 attendees, the museums offer special programming, family-friendly activities and live entertainment, including free shuttle buses to encourage “museum hopping”. Must-see new and traveling exhibitions this year include The Power of Poison and The International Exhibition of Sherlock Holmes at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, while the Denver Botanic Gardens will also participate by allowing visitors to see orchids at night in Marnie’s Pavilion and watch live demonstrations in the Science Pyramid. Additionally, the Denver Art Museum will host the member preview of its new, groundbreaking exhibition, “Wyeth: Andrew and Jamie in the Studio”, showcasing

BUSINESS Continued from 8 variety of tools and areas to create. The space operates on memberships – both single and couples – and punch cards for periodic use. The focus of the shared workspace is to create and make objects for sale. “Filled with useful tools, Processus gives artists the freedom to use a wide range of equipment with one membership, including a beautiful 26” x 48” Griffin etching press. Artists and community members can make things out of wood, create sculptural objects, and make original prints and photographs,” the group’s website details. Saturdays from 10 to noon, the space offers a Coffee Social and a chance to learn more about various art forms. The day I dropped in, crochet lessons were in full swing.

SUGARMILL Last month, I wrote that co-founder Noah French of Sugarmill had quit the business. A few changes were evident then, but now the eatery’s future direction is clearer after his departure. Night offerings include a handful of small plates and a few more comfort foods like beef cheek goulash, chicken and waffles with a plum maple accent and duck pot pie. Also changed is the dessert menu. More cupcakes can be seen, but the elegant tortes French favored are still in evidence. The names are designed to appeal to a different demographic – younger and trendy – but there may be more to the PBJ Waffle and other menu additions than meets the eye. That waffle’s freshly baked and served with a peanut butter mousse, molasses peanuts, macerated raspberries and a berry sorbet. The coffee and donuts plate features vanilla bean ice cream, espresso and a trio of fresh brioche donut holes. Both seem like pretty grown up offerings on second look. Sugarmill is located at 2461 Larimer. The number’s 303-2973540. Sugarmilldesserts.com is the web address.

AMERICATUS NEW-WORLD ITALIAN One door south from Sugar-

the world, the festival will attract nearly 55,000 filmgoers during its run. Films will be shown at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the SIE Film Center. Information on film showings, events and more can be found at the Denver Film Festival website denverfilmfestival.denverfilm.org

ART SMART – NOV. 6-14 Art Smart is a week of educational experiences led by the galleries of Cherry Creek North during which artists, dealers, experts and creators come together for a week mill, Americatus New-World Italian now manufactures its own sausage and supplies some local hotels and restaurants with the excess. I’m told the ultimate plan is retail distribution. You don’t have to wait for retail outlets however. Americatus has added lunch hours and features a sausage sandwich for a first bite. Americatus has also added a food truck you might see in town and an official dog-friendly patio. Check out the new menu for the 2449 Larimer eatery at americatus.com or call 303-862-9850 for details.

WORK & CLASS There are new sliding glass panels on the patio of Work & Class diagonally across Larimer from Sugarmill. Those sliders should keep the patio popular year round and the popular eatery sure needs the extra space. You can’t see the kitchen staff at work from the patio but it often offers a quiet space to dine in the middle of a hectic business zone.

GEN FIT Up at the top of Larimer, Gen Fit has decided to tweak its hours due to cooler weather and shrinking daylight hours. Evening classes will start 15 minutes later starting November 1. There’s an open gym class Wednesday evenings where you can do your own thing or follow a suggested workout. They also have special plans for Thanksgiving & Black Friday, so check out getgenfit.com for details. Workout evening times may change after GenFit finishes its

of programs that offer insight and answers into the world of art.

DENVER’S ON STAGE – NOV. 6-14 From the Denver Performing Arts Complex to the many intimate neighborhood theaters, Denver’s On Stage allows theatergoers to go behind the scenes, attend exclusive previews and learn more about the craft of performing arts, often at discounted prices. For a full list of the more than 300 events, please visit DenverArtsWeek.com

member survey in early November. The address is 3660 Downing.

CLOSINGS: LOWER48 Didn’t see this one coming. Lower48 at 21st & Lawrence will close after dinner on November 7th. The well-reviewed eatery has been open since 2011. “We encourage you to come help us say good-bye to Lower48 and to celebrate all of the hard work and commitment that the team gave day-in and day-out for the last two years. We continue to be humbled by everyone’s continued support and look forward to welcoming you to Lower48 in the next few weeks,” said co-owner Mario Nocifera in an email to fans and followers.

THE BIG WONDERFUL Also done – at least for this season – is The Big Wonderful, which wrapped up its 2015 season last month. A message to all supporters read, “Thank you for such an amazing season, Denver. We truly appreciate your unwavering support throughout our 25-week season.” TBW plans to come back next season at 26th & Lawrence despite plans to build new apartments on some of the surrounding lots. The Wonderful folks are also the folks behind the Night Bazaar Denver (see Changes) so you won’t have to go cold turkey until spring. Send biz news to Jeanne@ lifeoncaphill.com.

EAT & DRINK

“SAME AS IT EVER WAS” By Daniel Webster Jr. Photos By Dani Shae Thompson The exterior – a brown-bricked building with drab brown awning on Colfax – provides quite the contrast to the guts of The SAME (So All May Eat) Cafe’s rather bright and idealistic mission: “good food for the greater good.” Its co-founder Libby Birky, a fast-talking former midwesterner (not an oxymoron), mentions that quite a few people call in asking where to find the place, a call I almost found myself making the first time I searched for the restaurant a few weeks ago. “Across from the Lion’s Lair,” is usually the destination marker that triggers recognition Libby said. To translate the mission into practical terms, the SAME Cafe is a pay-what-you-can lunch 501(c) (3) nonprofit. Okay, maybe not so matter-of-fact for a capitalistic, free market society. Here’s the skinny though: you walk in, see a white board menu with two options in each food category – pizza, salad, and soup, and you place your order with a happy volunteer behind the counter. The cash register is noticeably missing, but a Square Reader stands discreetly off to your right. If you want to swipe your card for the food coming your way, you can, however much you want in fact. If not, don’t sweat it, or roll up your sleeves and help in the kitchen after you chow down. Get it? Enter the dining room, or if it’s nice sit out on the patio. According to Libby, the customer diversity is the best part for her. “Literally, Dr. Bob sat here with his daughter who just came home from college who sat next to Tom, who is a homeless guy who had never been here,” said Libby. “This wonderful mother with her daughter introduced Tom to this place after he asked them for money, and they all stayed to

clean up. It’s what happens here every single day.” The food can’t possibly go toe-to-toe with a quality cafe. Yes, and no. While the menu is limited, the ingredients are locally-sourced, fresh, and highly nutritious. Since Libby and her husband Brad started SAME in 2006, they have gone from purchasing most items from Whole Foods to sourcing almost exclusively with local farmers. “Pretty much the majority of what we’re using is direct from local farmers. We get produce from places like The Growhaus, Grenada Farm, and Denver Botanic Gardens,” she says. We’re still paying a premium for the produce. I don’t want someone bringing me less quality ingredients for a cheaper price. I’m willing to pay the Jax, what all the fancy restaurants are paying, because I want the same high quality food.” Libby is the lone staff on site today – the other two employees getting a Memorial Day vacation. She mentions that most weeks require the startup, community-driven mentality from their three and a half full-time equivalents. “We get here at 8:30ish,” she discloses, “and we have volunteers here until 3, serving folks and making food. From 3-5, I’m usually doing emails and phone calls and interviews and whatever else. Brad and I are usually out in the community 3 or 4 nights per week, heading to a farm or going to a food justice event.” The final tabulation is somewhere north of 60 hours per work. Libby admits that 25% of her job now is handling outreach and business strategies for others. The pay-as-you-go model has ramped up since their establishment in 2006, when only one other restaurant was in business in Salt Lake City.

“There are 49 businesses like this across the country. We’re the longest running one after Salt Lake’s closure.” She’s been approached by acupuncturists, hair stylists, and a dentist to find out how to operate in a similar manner. Most of them have a minimum payments amount. One restaurant like SAME requires at least a $3 donation for a plate of food. This differentiation is what keeps the operation unique. SAME lets people set the price and there’s no barrier for participation. The inclusive gesture has not stopped the business from growing either. In 2012, the entire kitchen was remodeled after receiving a gift from the Restaurant Facility Management Association. “They brought us a dishwasher, a hood, gas to the space so we could actually cook… for real. Before we were just roasting

everything. Anything for soup or pizza or salad was roasted in the oven – in the pizza oven,” she recalled. “We were using a plug-in wok to boil water!” The kitchen is decked out in all the finest commercial gear, allowing for twice the amount of volunteers and capacity to feed dozens more customers. Libby excuses herself from the interview to thank her volunteers, who stayed until almost 4 p.m. to close up shop. Today the kitchen crew is a trio of guys who recently moved to Denver and are opening up a food truck in the coming months. They all wanted to help and at the same time maintain their restaurant “chops.” She returns and gives the adventuring epicurean a great pitch to eat at The SAME Cafe. “I believe it’s the most dynamic, most diverse, most interesting place to eat in Denver.”

16 URBAN CAMPING Continued from 1 passed in 2012 before an uproarious crowd shaming proponents of the bill and taping dollar bills over their mouths in protest. Councilman Wayne New, who represents District 10, including Capitol Hill, Cherry Creek North, and Congress Park was not on the City Council during the 2012 vote. However, Councilman New is the current Chair of the Safety and Well-Being Committee of the Denver City Council. That committee governs public safety issues like police practices, housing, and homelessness, all central issues at the heart of the urban camping ban controversy. Councilman New acknowledges that the urban camping ban is “not a workable solution because there is no place else for the homeless to go.” Police are unable to realistically enforce the ban. However, Councilman New says that the City Council is planning a retreat in December solely for

the purpose of evaluating Denver’s policy regarding homelessness. “There are so many agencies and organizations doing such great work, but we need to evaluate all of our programs on homelessness,” said Councilman New. That’s encouraging news for the future of policy-making surrounding this complex problem facing Denver. The public supporters of the urban camping ban cite the fact that tourists and merchants often complain of aggressive panhandling and harassment from the homeless, particularly on the 16th Street Mall and on Colfax. They argue that the ordinance gives police the tools to address those complaints. On the other hand, homeless rights activists worry that the law simply pushes the problem aside without recognizing the dignity of Denver’s homeless citizens, many of whom simply need kind, helping hands. It remains a contentious issue, which will surely continue to dominate city politics as long as

officials during the recent, Tiny Houses Project, where activists attempted to build small, single person housing structures. Those structures were quickly confiscated by police on October 24. Ten people were arrested in connection with the Tiny Houses raid in Sustainability Park near 2500 Lawrence. Fresh off the emotional clash with police and city officials the weekend prior, the protestors zeroed-in on the October 26 Denver City Council meeting. Following a recess, the protesters burst into the meeting shouting things like, “Shame on You!” “They took my house,” added one homeless man, obviously referring to the Tiny Houses Project confiscation only days before. At least three council members left the chamber during the eruption. Other councilmembers remained to silently observe the commotion. After one of the protesters presented the City Council with a petition containing over 13,500 signatures seeking to repeal the urban camping ban, the entire protest group left the building without further incident.
