Clydesdales help usher in new beer laws As 2019 begins, grocery and convenience stores can sell full-strength brews

Rudy Helmuth prepares to lead Cash, a Budweiser Clydesdale, to the Colorado Capitol to celebrate the beginning of full-strength beer sales at grocery stores in Colorado.

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales visited the Colorado Capitol on Dec. 31 to celebrate the repeal, effective New Year’s Day, of laws that prevented sales of beer greater than 3.2 percent alcohol by weight in most Colorado grocery and convenience stores.

“We’re happy to celebrate this day with Coloradans while the state embraces modern beer laws that will help the Centennial State’s vibrant beer industry continue to prosper,” said Greg Sollazzo, Anheuser-Busch regional vice president.

Not everyone was celebrating, though. Some owners of local liquor stores are concerned about taking a possible hit to their sales this year.

The change is due to Senate Bill 16197, passed in 2016, which eliminates the two tiers for sales and allows all

SHANNA FORTIER

retailers licensed to sell beer to do so, regardless of alcohol content.

This means Coloradans can now buy full-strength beer at liquor stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations and big-box retailers such as Walmart, Target, Costco and Sam’s Club. Hours for beer sales every day are 8 a.m. to midnight.

The new law will not change where

wine and liquor can be purchased.

Only licensed liquor stores can sell wine and liquor in Colorado. Hard cider is considered wine under the law, so to find the full-strength versions Coloradans will still need to buy it from a liquor store.

Ben Ammari, manager of Vineland Liquors in north Arvada, said he believes his family-run liquor store will

take a 10 percent hit on beer sales over the next year. Their store is located about 10 blocks from two King Soopers stores and one Safeway.

“I think the first two to three months are going to show a lot,” Ammari said.

“We will adapt to what we need to in order to survive. The way I look at it is that, hopefully, the Colorado community will continue to back the familyowned stores.”

Under the new rules, some 1,600 stores will have their licenses automatically upgraded, allowing them to replace their 3.2 percent beer with higher-alcohol content brews. That includes more than 100 stores for both King Soopers and Safeway, according to state records.

Grocers are promising a diverse set of options — including local beer unique to different regions as well as mega-brewers, such as AnheuserBusch and Coors, and larger craft breweries, including Boston Beer, New Belgium and Sierra Nevada.

“This bill made tomorrow a historic day in Colorado,” Senate Minority Leader Chris Holbert, R-Parker, said on New Year’s Eve. “We’ve worked together to bring us to this point. Beer will finally be beer in Colorado.”

MY NAME IS

CONRAD STELLER

Real-estate broker, cyclist, longtime Centennial resident Family roots My family moved from New York to the Cherry Knolls neighborhood the day before my first birthday, in 1976, before Centennial existed. My parents still live in the same home they bought over 40 years ago. Having grown up here, and after starting my own family with my wife, Jennifer Steller (whom I met at a high school track meet), I couldn’t imagine raising my kids anywhere else. In 2005, with our first child born, my wife and I moved back to Centennial and now live only seven houses away from the home I grew up

in. We now have five children and love the city and our neighborhood.

What brought me back ...

The safety of the community. We love that our kids can play outside and bike around with their friends. We love the biking, running trails, the creeks and pond, and the parks. The location is ideal: Everything we need is nearby for shopping, kids’ activities and entertainment, and we can easily head downtown for shows and special events or get into the foothills fairly quickly.

Neighborhood serving, selling I have served two terms in the past as president of the Cherry Knolls Improvement Association, and have continued as an adviser to the longrange planning committee in the past several years. I am a Realtor and the owner of The Steller Group Inc., a Centennial-based real estate firm, spe-

projects with the building department, and they are always friendly and easy to talk to. While I was working on the board for Cherry Knolls, I had a lot of interaction with our councilmen and women, and they are always eager to help our community and connect us to the right people to get our questions answered.

Out of power, GOP aims to be ‘conscience’ at Capitol Polis’ influence becomes apparent in outlook for legislative session

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he defiantly conservative voice of state Rep. Patrick Neville hit some resigned notes the day before the state Legislature convened, with the Republican House leader from Castle Rock and a Senate counterpart appearing to accept the uphill battle that lies ahead of them under new Democratic control.

“I think full-day kindergarten, whether I like it or not, is going to happen,” said Neville, the House minority leader, as he referred to the future of schools at the annual Business Legislative Preview put on by the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.

The Jan. 3 event, held in collaboration with the business-advocacy organization Colorado Competitive Council and the Denver Business Journal, saw those Republicans and two Democrats lay out their priorities for the 2019 regular session, which began Jan. 4 and will run roughly four months. That’s the part of the year when legislators pass bills.

House Speaker KC Becker, of Boulder, and Denver Sen. Angela Williams spoke for the Democrats. Senate Assistant Minority Leader John Cooke, of Greeley, joined Neville.

With his party now in the minority in both houses, Cooke fashioned Republicans as aiming to be “the conscience of the Legislature,” pushing back against the Democrats’ clear path to legislation with control of the governor’s mansion.

Here’s what the lawmakers had to say in downtown Denver about transportation, education and health care.

‘Taxes off table’ As with last year’s session, the state

is riding the wave of rosy predictions of unforeseen revenue, and lawmakers at the event discussed how they’d prefer to spend it, starting with transportation projects.

“Any tax increases are off the table,” Neville said, noting Coloradans voted down Proposition 110’s sales tax for transportation funding in November. “People don’t want to raise taxes

when affordability is an issue.”

The $645 million that lawmakers poured into transportation in 2018 for the following two years is a start, but the Legislature this year will continue to wrestle with how to catch up to a traffic landscape straining under Colorado’s growth. As of 2016, Colorado carried a $9 billion need for additional transportation funding through 2025. Major highways, as well as smaller roadways, are in need of updates in multiple parts of the state.

What the Legislature did last year — spending existing revenue rather than raising taxes — would be possible to do this year, too, Neville said.

“That’s what they usually say: that if we don’t have an increase, it’s a cut,” Neville said of budget debates.

“So why can’t we say that for roads?”

Democrats have favored raising sales taxes to boost transportation funding, but Proposition 110’s failure presents a possible roadblock for that route. Last year’s law, Senate Bill 1, set the stage for citizens to vote on a bond package for transportation this year.

The state’s general-fund revenue forecast was higher by $93 million, or 0.8 percent, compared to the September forecast, according to the Office of State Planning and Budgeting in December. After a strong 14.1 percent increase in fiscal year 2017-18, the revenue is still predicted to grow at a 6.5 percent rate in this fiscal year, after Colorado’s economic expansion continued at a healthy pace in 2018, according to the office.

Polis ‘made policy clear’ Asked by the moderator if K-12 education needs more funding sources, Cooke put the onus on local school districts to go it alone in asking for tax increases.

“We did give more funding to schools last year,” Cooke said. “I think, obviously, more funding is needed, but we’re a local control state.”

Q&A with Jack Tate, state senator for District 27 ack Tate, R-Centennial, serves state Senate District 27, which includes Centennial, nearby unincorporated Arapahoe County areas and the Town of Foxfield.

The small-business owner was first elected to the state House District 37 seat — representing a similar area to his current one — in 2014.

He was appointed to fill Tate a vacancy in his Senate district the following year and won the election to hold the seat in 2016.

Colorado Community Media did a brief Q&A with Tate ahead of the

opening of the 2019 legislative session, which began Jan. 4.

What is the most important issue for the Legislature to tackle this session, and what needs to be done?

Last year, we unanimously passed Senate Bill 001 in the Senate with a vote of 35-0. That bill was landmark legislation, putting in place a mechanism for voters to approve bonding for certain key transportation infrastructure projects at the 2019 election. This multi-billion-dollar effort only touches a part of the need.

As such, investment in roads and bridges is still the big hot-button issue going into the upcoming legislative session. We need to create

more capacity on our highways in the metro area in order to relieve congestion and to repair roads and bridges in rural areas upon which agriculture and industry rely.

It is a hot-button issue because some politicians want to fund programs that do not have popular support first, cynically leaving popular road and bridge work neglected so that voters will approve a tax increases for such an effort. We need first to follow through with SB-001 and then prioritize the general fund, before looking to what should happen with tax policy.

Tell us about two pieces of legislation that you plan to sponsor.

I am working on legislation

related to the growing industry around blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. I’m also working on repealing the Gallagher Amendment, so we can unwind overly and unfairly burdensome property taxes on non-residential real property.

What must be accomplished for this session to be deemed a success?

If we are successful in allocating general-fund monies for transportation infrastructure while also avoiding putting into place burdensome and costly regulations that kill job creation and business investment, I will consider 2019 a good session.

In April, hundreds of teachers and education personnel from around Colorado protested at the Capitol, in part over what advocates say is a funding shortfall of hundreds of millions of dollars. Democratic state legislators spoke at that rally.

“Local districts have the ability to make the argument to their community for more funding,” Cooke said. “Responsibility falls back on, I think, the local districts.”

On the specific question of funding for full-day kindergarten — a rallying cry brought to the recent forefront by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis’ campaign — Neville appeared to accept some of

Tell us about two pieces of legislation that you plan to sponsor.

I will be a prime sponsor on the Extreme Risk Protection Order bill (also known as a “red flag” bill) that will keep firearms out of the hands of those who are deemed to want to do harm to themselves or others. I will be working with Rep. Alec Garnett to pass this bill that failed last session.

I will also be introducing a bill that lets victims of crime opt-out of notification of their perpetrators’ movements rather than opt-in as it is now.

What must be accomplished for this session to be deemed a success?

I believe that we must have involvement from the public. People marched in droves this past year, and they voted again in record numbers. We as elected officials must find ways to include this community in everything we do and we must stay engaged with them. If the voters don’t feel that they too are part of the process, we will not have been as successful as we could be.

Republicans would push to make sure that standard also applies to charter schools, Neville said.

gency rooms all up and down the Front Range that are driving up the cost of health care.”

Democrats also support reinsurance as a way to bring down costs, Becker said. That’s the concept of applying for an Affordable Care Act waiver for a fund to help insurers pay for high-cost customers, reducing premiums for others, according to the Colorado Health Institute, a health-policy research nonprofit.

Transparency regarding health-care costs is still a priority for Democrats, Becker said, and the Republican leaders argued that some transparency efforts would only generate reports that would go to the government but aren’t useful to the consumer.

“When I walk into a restaurant, I want to know how much the hamburger costs,” Neville said. “Not how much they paid for the ground beef.”

Health care still muddled Not many darts managed to stick last session in debates over how to rein in health-care costs, and from the Jan. 3 event, it’s unclear what will emerge this year as viable ideas.

Becker, the House speaker, said health care is “a little bit like whacka-mole — you think you fix this, but another thing pops up.” She said the Legislature could consider “a variety of things.”

“Surprise billing is something we’re looking at,” Becker said. “There’s been a proliferation of free-standing emer-

Q&A with Susan Beckman, state representative for District 38

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

usan Beckman, R-Littleton, serves Colorado House District 38, which includes Littleton, Bow Mar, Columbine Valley and part of Centennial.

Beckman was first elected to Beckman the office in 2016, and won re-election in 2018.

Colorado Community Media did a brief Q&A with Beckman ahead of the opening of the 2019 legisla-

tive session, which began Jan. 4.

What is the most important issue for the Legislature to tackle this session, and what needs to be done?

Voters rejected two ballot measures this election cycle — Propositions 109 and 110 —to fix the state’s transportation-funding shortfall.

The language was confusing and the intent was not clear, but voters said no to additional taxes and debt. The good news: our economy is booming, and estimated next year’s budget will see an estimated $1.2 billion increase — in addition to last year’s

billion-dollar increase. This year the legislature needs to govern responsibly, take care of long-ignored essential services and adequately fund transportation. We all know our roads are crumbling and Coloradans deserve safe, clean and congestion-free roads.

Tell us about two pieces of legislation that you plan to sponsor.

I’ll sponsor legislation to restrict urban encampments along waterways. We’ve seen a staggering increase of urban encampments along rivers and streams in Littleton and across Colorado. The state health department has

taken samples near these encampments, and found shocking levels of E. coli and other pollutants. I’ll also sponsor legislation to make the Senior Property Tax Exemption transferable statewide when moving for medical necessity.

Coloradans voted to provide tax relief for seniors over 65 who have lived in the same home for over 10 years. My legislation would add statutory flexibility for seniors who must move to more suitable homes.

What must be accomplished for this session to be deemed a success?

We’ve seen the cost of

living in Colorado escalate dramatically in the past six years, reaching a point where many are struggling to stay in Colorado. Although our state taxes are relatively low compared to other states, families are impacted by local, district and county taxes, along with the high cost of insurance, medical fees, overregulation of businesses and increased housing and living costs. This session will be successful if we keep the big picture in mind for all residents of Colorado. We must be disciplined and not fund special interests with taxpayer money at the expense of all Coloradans.

Series helps those going through a divorce STAFF REPORT

January has been called the “divorce month” by attorneys and therapists.

Many unhappy couples move forward with divorce once the holidays, family gatherings, and tax year have ended. In addition, the stress of the holidays sometimes shatters an already strained marriage. Plus, the New Year psychologically provides incentive for new resolutions and

directions in personal lives.

“Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends” classes are designed to help individuals experiencing or contemplating a divorce, seperation or relationship ending. Established more than 30 years ago, Rebuilding is taken by individuals, not couples, and topics explored include grief, anger, denial, guilt, self-esteem, letting go and transitioning into singleness.

The next Rebuilding series begins in mid-January and will take place Thursday evenings at the Koelbel Library, 5955 S. Holly St., Centennial.

Classes last from 6:30-9 p.m. and are led by JP McDaniel, Ph.D., a divorceadjustment coach.

The Pre-Building session on Jan. 17 will explain more about the series and the adjustment process. The first meeting of the 10-week series is Jan.

24 and will address reasons why relationships end, the adjustment process, and the resulting emotional roller coaster. Registration is not needed for Pre-Building or Week 1, and both meetings are free.

Weeks 2-10 require registration and payment of series fees. Go to https:// divorcerebuilding.org. Contact beyondivorce@gmail.com, 303-669-1533, or https://divorcerebuilding.org.

Walcher looks back on tenure as Arapahoe County sheriff Republican touts boosting school-resource officers, mental health services

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In a county where Republicans refer to their officeholders as the “Arapahoe County fab five,” Sheriff David Walcher’s exit was unexpected.

A long era of Republican control at the sheriff ’s office ended after the November election of Democrat Tyler Brown, a Centennial resident and then-police officer in the small, Denver-area Town of Mountain View.

Walcher Walcher, an Aurora resident, took the title of sheriff in 2014 by appointment after fellow Republican Grayson Robinson retired. Walcher touted “more than doubling” the agency’s number of school-resource officers and increasing prescriptiondrug takebacks as a few of his proudest accomplishments.

Providing “jail-based behavioral services (JBBS) for inmates with mental health and substance abuse needs when they leave incarceration” and a “medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program in the detention facility” for

South Denver Cardiology’s Transitional Heart Failure Clinic focuses on keeping patients well SPONSORED CONTENT The South Denver Cardiology Transitional Heart Failure Clinic, in Littleton, specializes in providing treatment and therapy to prevent patients diagnosed with heart failure from more hospitalizations, and in helping to not only improve quality of life but also extend life.

Clinic Director and interventional cardiologist Ira Dauber, M.D. of the South Denver Cardiology Associates, describes heart failure as a “sneaky” condition that can really impact a person’s quality of life. At the Dr. Ira Dauber Transitional Heart Failure Clinic, Dauber said the goal is to work towards transitioning a patient back to wellness.

“We ultimately want patients to feel better,” he said. “Heart failure isn’t something that is going away, but through an individualized treatment plan, we improve quality of life in our patients. Heart failure care at the South Denver Cardiology starts with optimal guideline determined medical therapy” Heart failure means the heart is no longer pumping blood through the body as well as it should be. As the heart’s pumping action weakens, blood backs up into the blood vessels around the lungs and causes seepage into the lungs. The fluid causes congestion and makes it hard to breathe. Many people

with heart failure also have swollen legs and feet.

Treating patients at the heart failure clinic is an all-inclusive plan. Dauber explained that it’s not about talking to a patient and making decisions only during scheduled appointments. Dauber said with nurse practitioners, a full staff and technology – care is constant.

“We are in constant contact with our patients. We are constantly ahead of sickness,” Dauber said. “We don’t want to sit around and wait for a relapse or hospitalization.

We don’t want to wait for some scheduled appointment to make needed adjustments.

We want patients to be aware of their own symptoms and communicate with us at all times.”

It’s important to understand that it’s not just up to the doctors to manage heart failure. In a transitional program, the patient is just as responsible for monitoring, communicating and making life-changing adjust-

ments. Dauber said that’s another aspect of success at the clinic.

“Heart failure management is very much patient-centered,” he said. “We educate patients on their role in managing their health and quality of life. They have to really focus on fluid and diet management.

Patient recognition and communication are important.”

While heart failure isn’t curable for most cases, it can be brought under control with work and collaboration. Patients should: • Take all medication as ordered • Follow a low-sodium diet • Stop smoking • Stay as physically active as possible • Lose weight if needed • Drink alcohol sparingly To help patients manage heart failure, South Denver Cardiology uses the Heart Failure Storylines App, which provides information and services they need to keep their health balanced. The app is ranked as

one of the nation’s top four apps in reducing re-admission to the hospital and in selfmanagement.

Dauber said taking treatment options and care a step further, South Denver Cardiology is also constantly involved in studies and trial programs, including the utilization of the FDA-approved CardioMEMS HF System, which is a battery-free sensor that is implanted into the distal pulmonary artery to continuously measure the heart rate along with systolic, diastolic and mean pressures.

The implant is delivered using a matching vascular catheter and readings from the implant are gathered by a bedside electronics unit that also wirelessly powers the implant.

The data is transmitted to an online portal where the patient’s cardiologist can check the readings.

“Technology such as the CardioMEMS HF gives us another advantage,” Dauber said.

“Why wait for trouble to approach when we can get ahead of it. We have used the device with success in our patients. That is part of the art of heart failure care in terms of preventing symptoms for which patients are at risk even when they are doing well on optimal medical therapy.” https://www.southdenver.com/transitional-heart-failure-clinic/.

Historic city department becomes part of large regional firefighting force

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton Fire Rescue is no more.

On the morning of New Year’s Day, acting Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Jeff Tasker stood before a small crowd of firefighters and their families in the garage of Fire Station 11, attached to Littleton’s city hall, and put out a call over the radio, officially taking the 128-year-old fire department out of service.

On the other end of the crackling radio, the dispatcher broadcasted Littleton’s new designation as a member of South Metro Fire Rescue. The city joins many others across the south Denver metro area as part of the vast fire district.

“Welcome to the family,” the dispatcher said.

Then, as the bagpipes of the South Metro Fire Pipes and Drums ensemble wailed, Tasker presented Littleton Fire Rescue’s flag to South Metro

South Metro Fire Chief Bob Baker, left, and Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Jeff Tasker moments after the ceremony’s conclusion.

Chief Bob Baker, and the assumption of command was complete.

The historic merger makes South Metro the second-largest fire department in the state, with 30 fire stations and a staff of roughly 700.

Tasker said it was a profound honor to be Littleton’s final fire chief.

“Long live the memory of the men and women of Littleton that wore the badge,” Tasker said, “who showed courage, commitment and dedication to one of the greatest fire departments in the country.”

Arapahoe County budget up thanks to revenue growth STAFF REPORT

Arapahoe County adopted a $404.3 million budget for 2019 in December, up from $390 million last year and bolstered by increased revenue, according to county documents.

“A lot of very hard work went into preparing the 2019 budget this year, and as our county’s population continues to grow, our citizens expect us to provide the many varied services in the most frugal, yet professional and efficient manner possible,” Arapahoe County Commissioner Jeff Baker said in a news release. “Part of that process includes separating the `wants’ from the `needs’ and keeping our finances balanced and in compliance with TABOR restrictions. I believe we have accomplished that goal this year.”

A 4.1 percent increase in revenue allowed the county to balance its operating budget with a $2.1 million surplus, according to a county news release.

That allows money to be set aside for one-time uses, such as infrastructure, technology and transportation projects.

The 2019 budget includes funding for 46 new employees, bringing the total to 2,204.4. Many of the new positions are

in the sheriff ’s office, including several patrol officers, deputies in the jail and courts, communications and dispatch staff, and some in the new Regional Crime Lab. Other new positions in 2019 include an engineering inspector, traffic engineering technician, maintenance staff in the Facilities and Open Space departments, a software developer, cybersecurity analyst and a public information officer.

The budget includes a 3.3 percent merit-based pay raised for county employees, and $800,000 in increases to the district attorney’s office and health department.

The budget allocates $12.8 million for capital improvement projects, many of which were deferred during the Great Recession, according to the budget’s introduction.

Projects include: • $3.1 million to replace the door control system in the county jail.

• $1.7 million for improvements to Iliff Avenue.

• $1.5 million to improve pedestrian crossings on Sixth Avenue.

The full budget is available at arapahoe.gov.

Colorado has seen a recent spike in flu cases, and laboratory testing and outpatient visits indicate that the state has entered a period of more intense influenza activity, according to a news release from the Tri-County Health Department.

More than 570 people have been hospitalized since the flu season started in early October, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. Of these, 25 percent are older than 65, and 26 percent are younger than 18.

Based on similar patterns from previous seasons, influenza activity is expected to continue to escalate, with peak activity from now through February, according to the Tri-County news release. This is due to exposure during

holiday gatherings, from travel around the country and from children who were exposed while school was in session but who spent time at home during the holidays.

“Colorado and Georgia have been declared by the CDC to be the states currently at the highest flu risk, so one of the best things you can for your health as we start 2019 is to get a flu shot if you haven’t already gotten yours,” Dr. John M. Douglas Jr., executive director of Tri-County Health, said in the release. “People who are at higher risk of developing flu-related complications include children younger than 5, adults 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with medical conditions or compromised immune systems. These people should be treated with medication when flu symptoms first begin.”

In 2019, I resolve not to change my Self

t this time of new year’s resolutions, many of us are pressing a refresh button questioning what we need to change or improve in our lives to be better human beings. Should I recommit to more exercise and try to lose those holiday pounds I gained? Should I get on that dating app that’s been dormant on my phone for months? Or maybe I need to change my hairstyle or my job?

ter being?

After hours of visioning, journaling and dreaming what my best self should be, I have come to realize I’m actually really happy with who I am and how I show up in the world. Of course, I could be in better physical shape and have a few less wrinkles or cellulite. But would erasing those wrinkles also erase my memories of laughing, crying or expressing that I earned and learned from over the years?

Yes, I’m 61. Good on me. I just

need to rid myself of the American marketing propaganda we’ve all absorbed throughout our lives that says aging is sad, hard, and bad. And I think I’ve heard that 60 is the new 40 anyway, right?

That said, I do want to be here for many years to come and enjoy my new spiritual-career adventure, next relationship, and see my daughters’ and grandchildren’s lives unfold. So I guess I better at least keep my body in shape to take me into that beauti-

ful future. But I certainly don’t have to look for the newest fad diet or self-help routine to keep up with the illusive appearance that I’m still young enough to be relevant. That’s within me, not outside of me.

So yes, I can change things about myself … if I want to, not need to. Change is healthy if I’m not obsessed with a compulsion

frequently rude, in five-line, predominantly anapestic meter with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme, while the third and fourth lines are shorter and share a different rhyme” (Wikipedia).

It was the rude part that attracted us. If someone knew a limerick, they were admired, which was not true with other forms of poetry.

Reciting “Barbara Fritchie,” for example, would have been a bad idea; but with a limerick, you’d be in like Flynn.

Here’s a-safe-for work example: “There was a young lady of Kent. Whose nose was most awfully bent. She followed her nose. One day I suppose. And no one knows which way she went.”

If you’re wondering what “anapestic meter” means, so am I, and I am looking at the definition.

“In classical quantitative meters it consists of two short syllables followed by a long one;

Their response was this, “Our team here in the office has just become so negative and critical of everything and even each other. I was hoping we could find some material or a course that would us stop thinking so critically of one another and of everything going on here at the company.”

What they wanted was positive, motivational and inspirational change.

Could you imagine if I had just jumped in with standard theoretical information such as forming an opinion based on objective information, supporting data and facts, and a complete evaluation as they try and come to a reasonable conclusion? I would have completely missed the intended question.

Now I will admit that most times when I am asked about programs or courses or to do a talk about critical thinking it is to help individuals and companies get better at decision making, strategic and tactical planning, and the execution against those plans based on the use of critical thinking.

But there are plenty of other companies who find themselves in the same situation mentioned above. They may not necessarily contact me about “critical thinking,” instead they may ask about creating a positive and motivational working environment.

There is so much power and benefit that can gained from teaching people the process of critical thinking. Especially in an age where we have so much access to information, input, and opinions of others. There is even

in accentual stress meters it consists of two unstressed syllables and one stressed syllable” (Wikipedia again).

And I thought limericks were written by old sods just having a pint.

There is an underlying structure with all good writing that sometimes goes unnoticed.

My own strategies are so subtle, however, that it could be gathered they don’t exist.

But if you look closely, you’d find a number of distressed syllables rooming with various meters.

An even closer look shows that the way I write is a lot like the way Harry performs on a walk. He goes where it smells good.

The deadline for your haiku, sent to email address at the end of this column, is Feb. 14.

Traditional haiku lines are not separated by periods, but please do so for this contest.

Again: Please write your own, in fiveseven-five, one per author, and know that ribaldry will not be acceptable. Except most privately.

more power in getting people to stop thinking, behaving, and speaking critically. Constructive criticism is a powerful tool when administered properly and discussed with proper and inspired intent. Criticism for the sake of tearing someone or something down is nothing more than a demolition mission typically driven by malintent or personal agenda.

So the next time you are asked a question, even though you know or assume that you know the answer, use a little critical thinking of your own and ask some good questions to better define the real question being asked so that you are in a much better position to answer the right question or provide guidance in some way.

And if you are in the habit of acting, thinking, or speaking critically of others, perhaps try to remember a famous quote by Zig Ziglar: “A positive mental attitude will not allow you to do anything. But a positive mental attitude will allow you to do everything 100 percent better than a negative attitude will.”

How about you? Have you learned how powerful following a process of critical thinking can be? Are you working to avoid thinking critically of others? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can combine solid critical thinking with the proper positive intent, it really will be a better than good week.

to change because I need to please others around me, but that I want to in my personal evolution of growth. But I actually don’t want to change my Self; my higher Self that is my direct link to the Divine, that still small voice that guides my ethics and integrity.

I believe that should be unchanging and constant in my life assisting me through all the uncertainties and changes around me. But then that’s not myself, but my Self.

So to spite the $10 billion self-improvement industry nagging at me to lose weight in order to attract my mate, color my hair to look young, and wear the most expensive yoga pants (because of course we’ve got to look good while

we’re exercising), I’m going to do the most rebellious improvement this year. Nothing.

I’m going to finally release the consistent stress of being the perfect-looking human or trying to keep up with the illusion that I’m some model of a gracefully aging woman. What is that anyway?

Yes, I’ll take care of myself for continued health, but from my core I’m going to be my most radical Self this year and just be me. Wanna join me?

ark Shaker sees a combination of factors as to why food halls — modern, cafeteria-style markets — have a firm grasp on the Denver metro area’s food scene.

“One, I think (food halls) create natural community gathering spots.

If a group of four or six people want to go out… the variety of offerings makes food halls a spot to go to,” said Shaker, a founder of Stanley Marketplace, a market hall in Aurora that opened toward the end of 2016.

Along with businesses such as clothing stores, hair salons and fitness amenities, the Stanley Marketplace houses a variety of locally owned food and beverage options inside what used to be a manufacturing building.

“Instead of going to a particular restaurant, you can go to eight of them at once,” Shaker continued. “On the other side, there’s the cost. If you talk to chefs around town, there aren’t

here is no manual for veterans when it comes to re-entering civilian society after spending time in the service. There are all manner of challenges to face and lessons to learn, COMING and it is easy to ATTRACTIONS imagine feeling disoriented when faced with such overwhelming changes.

Some veterans deal with these stresses by creating art that expresses their experiences in a healClarke Reader ing way. And in January, Colorado Humanities, Colorado Photographic Arts Center, the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation, Colorado Creative Industries, Hemera Foundation and RedLine Contemporary Art Center are presenting events to share the works of these artists.

“Colorado Humanities believes that amplifying voices of those who have experienced conflict as military veterans and engaging them in conversations with nonmilitary community members is one way we can help veterans who struggle to integrate in their home communities when they return from deployment,” explained Bess Maher, Veterans Writing Program coordinator with Colorado Humanities. “I’m hopeful this program will amplify the voices of veterans and military service members who are also writers and artists, inspire other veteran writers and artists, and bring attention to veterans’ issues.”

The first event is a reading at 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 11, at BookBar, 4280 Tennyson St. in Denver, by contributors to the anthology, “Still Coming Home: Denver Veterans Writing.”

The second event is a series of three discussions called “Personal Visions: Discussions with Veteran Writers and Artists.” The discussions will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 16, 23 and 30 at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, 1070 Bannock St. in Denver. Each event will feature different participants, so audiences can attend as many as they would like.

“These events are a great first step for civilians who want to learn more about what it means to be a veteran,” Maher said. “And anyone interested in the creative process will find something interesting in these discussions.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Mick Jenkins at the Bluebird One of my favorite aspects about rap as a genre is the wide breadth of artists that can fit under its umbrella.

There is room for big, cinematic acts like Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Travis Scott to take over the pop culture, while gritty street chroniclers like Roc Marciano and jazz poets like Mick Jenkins can still build a devoted fanbase.

Jenkins released one of the most

Photographer Lisa Garness Mallory’s etched photographic prints pick up on the transformation theme of the new play at Town Hall Arts Center: “Casa Valentina,” which opens on Jan. 11, as does this exhibit.

It runs until Feb. 3 and readers are invited to meet the artist at a reception from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 18.

Mallory’s exhibit is called “Vibrant Transformations: A Series of Photo Etchings.”

to emphasize lines in the composition and at another time, she may go “outside the lines,” creating whole new elements in the image. Visitors will want to allow time to look from several angles when they visit the Stanton Gallery, to catch the lighting effects.

An award-winning photographer who has exhibited nationally and internationally, Mallory credits survival of two life-threatening illnesses with making her even more intense about her artwork.

HALLS

Hours: Denver Central Market’s general hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Friday and Saturday.

The scoop: Back in the day, Denver Central Market’s building was home to H.H. Tammen’s Curio Co., a company that created souvenir mineralogical curiosities. The market’s Curio bar pays homage to the building, and it serves craft cocktails, wine and beer.

Denver Central Market also offers the Local Butcher, a full-service butcher shop; Temper Chocolates, a chocolate shop; Tammens, a fish market; the ice cream shop High Point Creamery; Green Seed, a produce shop; the Izzio bakery, which serves breakfast, weekend brunch and lunch; and other food establishments, such as SK Provisons and Vero Italian.

“It’s more just responding to the culture here and having a variety of options. People just want something that is more casual and fun without having to spend a bunch of money,” said Kyle Zeppelin. co-president of Zeppelin Development. Zeppelin Development has its fingerprints on the Denver metro area’s food and market hall scene and is the developer of the Source and Zeppelin Station, a food hall with eight food vendors and two cocktail bars.

Zeppelin said the market for food and market halls in suburban communities has a similar demand to the urban area where the Source is located.

However, he said, a lot of it depends on population density.

“There is a need, even in some of those outlying areas. The same builtup demand exists,” Zeppelin said.

Julie Rodriguez, the marketing coordinator for the Denver Milk Market, a marketplace with 12 eateries and three bars, said a marketplace similar to the Denver Milk Market would need to be located close to shopping and walkable destinations.

Golden is currently in the midst of having Tributary and Golden Mill, two food halls, constructed. Edgewater will also soon be welcoming the opening of Edgewater Public Market, a food hall and shopping center.

“How many times do you go to a different town space, and there’s more than one restaurant on one block?

(Food halls) create more flexibility,

“There’s a lot of market efficiencies if you create the right spot in the right neighborhood. The real opportunities are in the outskirts, and it makes sense from all of the various stakeholders. I don’t think this is a trend going away anytime soon.”

Here is a rundown of some other food halls and marketplaces in the Denver metro area.

Avanti Food and Beverage Where: 3200 Pecos St Hours: Sunday to Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Restaurant hours are

JOSEPH RIOS

Sunday to Wednesday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Thursday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

The scoop: Avanti Food and Beverage is considered to be Denver’s first food hall. The establishment is home to seven restaurant concepts — American Grind, Bistro Georgette, BorraCho Taco, Brava! Pizzeria Della Strada, QuickFish, Quiero Arepas and The Rotary. At the top of Avanti Food and Beverage is a rooftop bar that gives its guests a front-row view of Denver’s skyline.

Denver Central Market Where: 2669 Larimer St.

Broadway Market Where: 950 Broadway When: Broadway Market is scheduled to open later this month.

The scoop: Broadway Market is set to open up in the location where Tony’s Market, a grocery store, used to be located. Life On Capitol Hill reported in December that six of 10 food stalls were announced for Broadway Market, including the MondoMini deli, the sushi joint Misaki, chocolate and snack store Miette et Chocolate, Pizzeria Coperta, Biju’s Little Curry Shop and Mother Tongue, a restaurant that will focus on simplicity. Daniel Asher, who will be the chef at Mother Tongue, told Life On Capitol Hill that Broadway Market’s future location was an ideal place for a new food hall in the Denver area.

High school hockey becoming a more skilled game, bigger draw for better players

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

olorado high school hockey has taken its game to the next level, coaches and players say.

Athletes playing in the Colorado High School Activities Association’s hockey leagues are more skilled and keep improving year by year.

“The speed of the game and the offense is more similar to the National Hockey League style,” Cherry Creek coach Jeff Mielnicki said. ”It’s not old-school hockey where the play (was) more physical.”

Heritage coach Jeremy Sims agrees the game has evolved.

“When I started coaching at Heritage eight years ago, to be honest, the hockey wasn’t considered to be at a very high level,” he said. “That, however, has drastically changed over the past six to seven years and now high school hockey provides a better experience, higher level of play and the opportunity to move on after high school if the player has the

Chaparral hockey coach Ryan Finnefrock, who was a former player at Ralston Valley, says the competitiveness and skill level has improved over the past decade. drive and determination.”

There are several reasons behind the upgraded quality of CHSAA hockey, according to those close to the game.

• The fall Colorado Prep Hockey League, which precedes the CHSAA season, gives players the benefit of a full eight months of development.

• A few Tier I or AAA elite players are joining high school teams and most Tier II or AA club players are on high school teams.

• The level of coaching has improved.

A growing draw The CPHL, under the direction of Sims, the president, goes from August to early November before the start of the CHSAA seasons. There were 40 teams in the CPHL last fall, divided into three levels of play. The six-conference CHSAA alignment has 36 varsity teams and there are 31 teams in a junior varsity league this season.

s soon as coach Kevin Boley walked into Sagewood Middle School and saw a skinny, curly-haired kid, he knew he had found a player.

OVERTIME Boley was holding open tryouts for the first Legend High School basketball team some 10 years ago when he first saw Derrick White.

White, now a 6-foot-4 second-year professional with the San Jim Benton Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association, was part of Legend’s first graduating class in 2012 and was a leader of the infant Titans basketball for four seasons.

He had a good basketball IQ, good skills and was sneaky quick. His biggest problem was his physical size didn’t measure up to his special athletic ability.

He grew to 6 feet tall by his senior year at Legend, when he was an All Continental League performer on a league all-star team that produced major college recruits in Josh Perkins, Josh Adams and Cory Calvert.

Still, college recruiters would just mumble that 6-foot guards are a dime a dozen.

White was overlooked and wasn’t recruited but he continued to work hard and grow taller.

His father, Richard, came up with a “Dare to Be Great” slogan, which White still employs as he still plays with that chip on his shoulder to prove his worth.

“That has driven him in a very positive way,” said Boley.

“He worked on his fundamentals, his ball handling and everything,” said his dad. “He was always small. When he was a junior the doctor said his growth plate was still open so he was eventually going to grow. We sent out stuff to area schools to see if he could get a look. We knew he had the ability. It was just getting him the opportunity.

“When you looked at him, nobody would have thought he would grow to somewhere between 6-4 and 6-5. I would say you have to stay the course, keep working and when you get the chance to do something, you have to make the most of it.”

White got an opportunity when Gillette College in Sheridan, Wyoming offered White a scholarship, but Johnson and Wales coach Jeff Culver also showed some interest before Culver accepted the head coaching position at University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

White followed Culver to UCCS with only a housing stipend and planned to redshirt, but he was put him into the lineup and became a Division II All-American and the school’s all-time scoring leader in three seasons with 1,912 points.

Michael Gaudio played for Team Parker in the fall and the Legend senior is a now a forward on Chaparral’s co-op CHSAA team.

“The fall season helps a lot,” Gaudio said. “You build chemistry with your teammates and all of us have really grown since the beginning of August. The prep (CPHL) season lets us figure out what we need to do going into the CHSAA season.”

Gaudio played in the Arapahoe Warriors Youth Hockey Association, played a season with the CHSAA Castle View team and then joined the Chaparral team in his hometown of Parker.

“High school hockey now is larger and more intense,” added Gaudio.

“You have students come to watch and you are playing more for your school now. You are not just playing for your club but for everyone that goes to your school. The skill level has definitely gotten a lot better. A lot more players are playing high school at a very high competitive level.”

Xander Sakadinsky, who played for the Colorado Thunderbirds club team, is having fun playing for his home school at Chaparral.

“High school hockey is the same speed and the same competitiveness,” he said.

“I definitely see more kids wanting to play high school hockey because of the environment with your school behind you and cheering you on.

High school hockey has come a long way and developed a lot and a lot more people are leaving club and come to play high school.”

Valor coach George Gwozdecky, who coached 19 seasons at the University of Denver, is in his fourth season as Valor Christian’s head coach. He says Colorado high school hockey has developed to the point it gives top players an option to enhance their dreams to continue playing.

PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON “You are starting to see a lot of high school kids starting to choose to play high school hockey,” he said.

“Ten or 15 years ago they chose the Triple A route, and then they started to realize it is pretty good product out there for high school hockey, the competitiveness has grown and the skill level is a lot better than it was probably 10 or 15 years ago.

“And AAA hockey is very expensive. It’s the difference between $15,000 and about $1,500. It’s cool to see some kids come back. Since I played and I graduated in 2010 you’ve seen the number of high school hockey teams almost triple. It continues to grow every year. You see programs like Cherry Creek, Regis

and Valor develop programs, and we’re trying to do the same thing.”

George Gwozdecky coached for 19 seasons at the University of Denver and is in his fourth season as head coach at Valor Christian.

When Gwozdecky first started at DU there were limited high school games in the Denver area and he was not impressed with the level of play.

“High school hockey has gone from being something where players were not very competitive to being an option for top-level players to play,” he said. “Players are able to get quality coaching and a lot of ice time and be able to pursue their dreams of playing juniors and not have to pay extravagant rates and miss all kinds

Coaches with credentials Gwozdecky is one of many high school coaches who have coaching and playing experience at top levels. He played college hockey as Wisconsin and is the only person to win an NCAA title as a player (with Wisconsin in 1977) and an assistant coach (Michigan State in 1986) and head coach (DU in 2004 and 2005).

He was an assistant with the Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL for two seasons before taking the job at Valor.

Mielnicki, a former major junior goalie in the Detriot area, is president of the Colorado High School Coaches Association, the Cherry Creek Hockey Association and has been the Bruins’ head coach for six seasons.

Sims was an all-state hockey play in Alpena, Michigan. and played college hockey at Ferris State University in Michigan and the University of Minnesota, Crookston.

Besides playing in two state championships games with Ralston Valley, Finnefrock went on to play at St. John’s University in Minnesota.

Ralston Valley’s Matt Schoepflin played four years at Lake Forest College. Mountain Vista coach Kevin Insana played at Northern Colorado.

Regis Jesuit coach Dan Woodley was a standout professional player who had a brief stint with the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL in the 1987-88 season.

“When you look at the rosters of most high school teams in the state, you see coaches who have played and/or coaches a very high levels of hockey,” Sims said. “The hockey knowledge and experience you saw when you walk into a coaches’ meeting is very impressive and the benefits can be seen on the ice.”

“It was right path for him to take,” admitted Richard White. “He was really small and still growing, and the opportunity he had at UCCS was very good. He got more opportunities than if he had gone to another school that was more established or if he had gone to a DI school.

“He just would have probably sat on the bench or been a practice player.

He learned a lot at UCCS, got a lot of experience and after that just kept working and got better and better.”

He transferred to Colorado, sat out a season, and then became an AllPacific 12 performer. He was selected by the Spurs in the 29th round of the 2017 draft.

“I always thought he had a chance to get paid to play,” said Boley. “I knew he had that kind of talent. He was a special player. In the month leading up to the NBA draft I got phone calls from eight or so people around the league.

“They were interviewing me. They

were asking questions about his character, work ethic, how he handles adversity and would he do anything that would embarrass the organization and those kinds of things. Derrick is a wonderful human being and the community has loved him.”

College coaches still ask Boley if he might have another Derrick White.

The determined White, who played with both the development league G League Austin Spurs and San Antonio his rookie campaign, overcame an injured heel this season and has become a Spurs’ starter. In the past 10 games, he is averaging 26.1 minutes, 9.1 points, 3.6 assists and 3.3 rebounds a game.

On Dec. 28, in a Spurs loss to the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center, he scored 10 points with six rebounds, three assists and six steals in front of his family, Boley, Culver and Legend players.

“It was pretty surreal to see that,” said his proud dad.

King Features Weekly Service

© 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

January 7, 2019

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Although you’re getting kudos and other positive reactions to your suggestions, don’t let the cheers drown out some valid criticisms. Better to deal with them now than later.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Following your keen Bovine intuition pays off, as you not only reassess the suggestions some people are putting in front of you, but also their agendas for doing so.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You continue on a high-enthusiasm cycle as that new project you’ve assumed takes shape. You’re also buoyed by the anticipation of receiving some good news about a personal matter.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your eagerness to immerse yourself in your new assignment is understandable.

But be careful that you don’t forget to take care of that pressing personal situation as well.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) This is a good time to learn a new skill that could give a clever Cat an edge in the upcoming competition for workplace opportunities. Enjoy the arts this weekend with someone special.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You could risk creating an impasse if you insist on expecting more from others than they’re prepared to give.

Showing flexibility in what you’ll accept could prevent a stalemate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Although you can weigh all factors of a dispute to find an agreeable solution for others, you might need the skilled input of someone you trust to help you deal with an ongoing situation of your own.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The good news is that your brief period of self-doubt turns into a positive “I can do anything” attitude.

The better news is that you’ll soon be able to prove it.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good time for Sagittarians to start making travel plans while you still can select from a wide menu of choices and deals, and not be forced to settle for leftovers.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Like your zodiacal sign, the sure-footed Goat, you won’t allow obstacles in your path to keep you from reaching your goal. Don’t be surprised by who asks to go along with you.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Let your head dominate your heart as you consider the risks that might be involved in agreeing to be a friend’s co-signer or otherwise act as his or her backup in a financial matter.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Prioritize: Resolve to close the door and let your voicemail take your phone calls while you finish up a task before the end-of-week deadline. Then go out and enjoy a fun-filled weekend.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your capacity for care and compassion helps to bring comfort to others.
