Down-payment assistance helps teachers get foothold Program aims to ease disparity between pay, housing prices BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT.ORG
Carissa Travis is an early bird. She’s usually at school by 6 a.m., two hours before her second-graders arrive, because she does her best work when the hallways of Denver’s Steele Elementary are quiet. She spends seven hours on her feet teaching and then sometimes several more after school in training sessions or PTA meetings. When she gets home from what can be a 12-hour day, Travis needs some space. It’s one reason the 29-year-old was eager to buy her own home. She also wanted to leave behind the revolving roommates and rising rent that caused her to move four times in five years. But she found her teacher’s salary didn’t go far in a gentrifying city where the median home price is now more than a half-million dollars. It’s a familiar problem that’s especially acute in Colorado, which a recent study ranked dead last among states for the competitiveness of its teacher salaries. The average Denver teacher earned $57,753 last year, according to the district. Just as Travis was ready to give up, she got an email about a novel program that helps teachers buy homes in the

communities where they work. In June, she became the first Denver teacher to seal a deal through it when she closed on a remodeled one-bedroom condo just a five-minute drive from her school. Hers was not the highest offer, but the previous owners liked her story. “They were excited to sell to a teacher,” Travis said. The program that helped her is called Landed. Using philanthropic dollars, it pays for part of an educator’s down payment with the understanding that the educator will pay that amount back, plus a percentage of the increase in the home’s value. The most common scenario is that the educator puts down 10 percent of the home price and Landed kicks in 10 percent to get to a down payment of 20 percent, said Paula Davis, a former teacher who helped bring the program to Colorado and is the company’s representative here. But the bar to qualify is lower: Educators have to put down just 5 percent and Landed will pick up the rest, up to $70,000 in Colorado.
Donations fund program Landed pays for its portion with more than $15 million in donations from foundations including the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, funded by Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan; and the Zoma Foundation, funded by Walmart heir Ben Walton and his wife Lucy Ana. (Chalkbeat also receives funding from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Waltons.) Landed is not a nonprofit but rather a mission-driven for-profit that reinvests the money teachers pay it back into the down payment fund, and makes its money by taking a fee from the real estate brokers’ commissions. It was founded in San Francisco in 2015, and expanded to the Redondo Beach Unified School District near Los Angeles and Denver Public Schools earlier this year. Landed recently grew its reach in Colorado even further by making its services available to employees of 14 additional school districts, including Jeffco Public Schools, Westminster Public Schools, Englewood Schools, Littleton Public Schools and the Douglas County School District. The idea differs from most others aimed at helping Colorado teachers find affordable housing in that it focuses on buying rather than renting. Some small, rural districts own housing units that they rent to teachers on the cheap. The school district in pricey Aspen does the same. Denver briefly considered converting a vacant elementary school into teacher housing, but local opposition killed the idea.
Educators get break Thus far, Landed has helped more than 90 educators with their down payment, Davis said. That includes the first three to buy homes in Denver: a longtime teacher with grown children who owned a house in Aurora but wanted to move closer to where she works in the Green Valley Ranch neighborhood, a young couple who bought their first home near Stapleton, and Travis, who bought a condo in Capitol Hill. The home prices ranged from mid-$200,000 to mid-$500,000, Davis said. “What we hoped it would be is a tool that would empower people to do what they wanted to do,” Davis said. For Travis, who is single and loves to travel, that meant buying a small place in good shape that she could lock up and leave over the summer with few worries. She found it in a fifth-floor one-bedroom with air conditioning, hardwood floors, and a view of the gold Capitol dome. She began her sixth year at Steele Elementary a homeowner. The daughter and granddaughter of teachers, Travis said she enjoys having a job she feels is important, and she relishes getting to know each of her students and watching them grasp a new concept or learn a new skill. Despite the relatively low pay, she hopes to be in the profession for the long haul. “The stress of modern teaching keeps increasing,” Travis said. “If some of the stress around pay and living situations could go down, it would make it a much more tenable profession.”
South Suburban seeks public input for recreation complex STAFF REPORT
A new recreation complex that is expected to include a field house, ice arena and gymnasium with pickleball courts is being developed by South Suburban Parks and Recreation, and the recreation district wants the public to provide input on the new facility. The new center, which will be nearly 200,000 square feet,
will be built just southwest of East County Line Road and South Holly Street. In addition to recreation amenities, the center will house the recreation district’s administrative offices. The complex will replace the 50-year-old South Suburban Ice Arena and South Suburban’s administrative offices near Arapahoe Road and University Boulevard in Centennial. Completion
for the $50 million project is expected by December 2020. Perkins + Will is the architect leading the design team, and Adolfson and Peterson Construction is the construction manager/general contractor. Two open house-style meetings will provide the public a chance to learn about the center and provide input on the proposed plans. The meetings are at Goodson Recreation
Center, 6315 S. University Blvd., Centennial. The two meetings are Tuesday, Sept. 18, from 1-3 p.m., in Room 8; and Thursday, Sept. 20, from 6-8 p.m., in Room 5. Perkins + Will has worked on a number of sports, athletic, recreation and multipurpose event centers, including Denver Broncos Football Club, Pat Bowlen Fieldhouse at UCHealth Training Facility and Red Rocks Amphitheatre
and Visitor’s Center. Adolfson & Peterson Construction has built a wide range of recreational amenities and athletic facilities, including Colorado Mesa University’s Maverick Center, Gypsum Recreation Center, Stadium at Adams 12 School District, Parker Recreation Center Expansion and Westminster Recreation Center Aquatics Center addition & renovation.

First Centennial home gets ‘crazy fast’ fiber internet Ting 1-gigabit service being installed in southern area BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
At the first official house in Centennial to receive fiber-optic internet from Ting, a provider spreading service across neighborhoods in south part of the city, Isaac Herman said he’s excited to see Centennial “building into the future.” “From a citizen standpoint, this kind of stuff really excites me,” said Herman, a 43-year-old video game developer who lives in the Willow Creek neighborhood. His home near East Dry Creek Road and South Yosemite Street got a small facelift: a gray Ting box on its side that doesn’t look like much, but that promises to make a difference in Herman’s family’s thoroughly pluggedin household. Ting offers 1-gigabit service, which is 1,000 mbps speed for download and upload — performance that’s impossible on cable and telecommunications networks that share bandwidth among large numbers of customers, according to Mark Gotto, Ting’s city manager for Centennial. Fiber communication generally works by sending beams of light down thin strands of glass or plastic, contained in a casing and

They stood with Mayor Stephanie Piko on Sept. 6 at their home at an event to celebrate the “light-up” of their internet service. Behind them reads Ting’s “crazy fast fiber internet” slogan. ELLIS ARNOLD running underground. With cable internet, residents share bandwidth speed with neighbors, Gotto said, making for slower speeds amid high use. The “almost endless” capacity of fiber allows for internet use without compromising performance, said Gotto, also a former Centennial city councilmember.
Ting is able to deliver the service by connecting to the City of Centennial’s fiber-optic cable system, an underground infrastructure that runs through the middle of the city — roughly from Interstate 25 to South Jordan Road — and is expanding through Centennial’s east and west parts. Ting builds its own local fiber network in certain neighborhoods by connecting to the city’s fiber system, and it’s the first internet provider to use Centennial’s system. Some Willow Creek areas can have service installed soon, and the fiber lines are expected soon for nearby Walnut Hills and Hunters Hill areas, according to Ting. Ting installed service for some “beta” customers first to work out kinks in late August, but Herman was the first to receive it as a non-beta customer, Gotto said. Herman ordered the internet service last year — customers can pre-order — and expects it to improve life in more ways than one. “I work out of my house, so I have pretty high internet needs,” said Herman, who has a video game company that develops software for cellphones and desktop computers. “I have employees in other states.” Video calling and desktop sharing are difficult with bad internet connection, Herman said. His first impressions of the service were positive after the installation on Sept. 5. “We’re definitely a modern fam-
PATH TO FIBER In 2013, Centennial voters chose to opt out of a state law passed in 2005 called Senate Bill 05-152, which barred local governments from providing telecommunications services to residents or businesses. At the time, Centennial had a roughly 42-mile “backbone” of fiber-optic lines in many city streets to operate traffic-control signals. Fiber communication generally works by sending beams of light down thin strands of glass or plastic, contained in a casing and running underground. Now, the city is on its way to completing an additional 50 miles of fiber lines around the end of this year, bringing the project, which kicked off construction in 2016, to a close. The project to build the new fiber for multiple uses officially started in 2014.
Centennial’s Fiber Master Plan, which guides the project and goals of fiber use for the city, will cost about $5.7 million to realize and aims to provide improved services to city facilities, schools, businesses, residents and public-safety institutions. ily,” said Herman, whose two young children use tablets and devices for streaming music. His wife, Erin Herman, who just started school for a master’s degree in health administration, might benefit, too. SEE TING, P5

“It’s quite a bit of online videoconferencing — hopefully that’ll improve,” said Erin Herman, 41. Isaac Herman, who also makes educational video games for students, said one of the biggest limitations he sees in schools is bandwidth, and fiber-based internet could improve that. As a consumer, he paid around the same price per month for a slower service — Ting charges about $90 per month for much faster internet, Herman said. Ting is based in Canada. But Ting’s progress holds broader significance for Mayor Stephanie Piko, who still serves on the city’s Fiber Commission, the body in charge of developing Centennial’s fiber program. The city “council recognized fiber was the next infrastructure a city needs,” Piko said, adding, “I really have to give credit to our staff for being innovative.”
That forward thinking aligns with the city’s values, Piko said, reflecting on the five-years-long process to get where the city is today. The east and west “rings” of fiber in the city will be finished around December, Piko said. The completed system is expected to yield benefits that range from making traffic lights more responsive to car flows, to possibly driving competition among service providers, which could help attract and retain businesses in Centennial, according to Allison Wittern, city spokeswoman. Police and fire officers could also benefit from better updates about traffic and car accidents, and the fiber system could help connect the city’s multiple public safety agencies by improving communication during an emergency. Herman said moving toward fiber opens doors down the road, too. “The cool thing about fiber is it’s (1 gigabit) today, but there’s nothing to say it couldn’t be 10-gig speed” in the future, Herman said. “The speed of light is pretty fast,” he said.

Standardized test scores at Littleton Public Schools were well above the state average again in 2018, but still below where district officials would like them to be. Littleton’s scores on the Colorado Measures of Academic Success, or CMAS tests, showed students far outperforming their peers statewide in English, math and science, though the proportion of kids who met or exceeded state standards is still largely hovering mid-range. LPS students’ scores on the SAT — which can be a determining factor in college acceptance — were also well above average. By and large, students’ scores didn’t move much from last year, with most grades showing only minor fluctuations from 2017. Despite state laws allowing parents to opt their children out of CMAS testing, participation rates were largely in the 90s in most grades. The largest exception was high school science, which saw only a 36.7 percent participation rate. By far the biggest improvements in LPS’s scores were in eighth-grade English and math, both of which saw their scores jump by more than 8 percentage points. Students meeting or exceeding the English standard in eighth grade were at 69.3 percent this year, and eighth-graders meeting or exceeding the math standard were at 41.9 percent. Though those numbers may sound low, they are well above their peers statewide, where 43.8 percent of eighth-graders met or exceeded the English standard, and only 28.2 percent met or exceeded the eighth-grade math standard. LPS would like to improve those numbers and see far greater proportions meeting or exceeding expectations, said Patti Turner, the district’s
director of learning services. “We still have work to do with implementing the academic standards and making sure students know what do and what’s expected of them,” Turner said. The district is still working to meet new standards implemented by the state Department of Education in 2010, Turner said. “We’re moving in the right direction, but it takes time,” Turner said. “We have elementary teachers who aren’t experts at science. We need to build their capacity.” The very nature of CMAS tests may render them inadequate gauges of student performance, said Amanda Crosby, a social studies teacher at Arapahoe High School and president of the Littleton Education Association — the teachers’ union. “There’s no particular reward for doing well on the test, or drawback for doing less than their full effort,” Crosby said. She said she asked one of her honors classes how many students slack off on the test, and all but one student raised their hands. While Crosby said she understands the data from CMAS tests can be useful at the state level to help determine where to prioritize resources, at the classroom level it’s largely unnecessary. “The CMAS just gives you a one-moment snapshot,” Crosby said. “Many educators don’t think the CMAS is worth the time and energy, or the anxiety and lost instructional time for students.” Crosby said she also worries about a general overreliance on the data gathered from the CMAS. “Does it tell you what you want about a school, or about students?” Crosby asked. “We put a lot more emphasis on social and emotional wellness these days. Are students safe? Are they well adjusted? Are they prepared to pursue opportunities after high school? The test scores give a poor picture of the whole child.”

ho says dogs were built for land? A few dozen paddled, waded and made friends at Holly Pool’s Yappy Hour on Sept. 8, the end-of-season event that lets dogs take over the pool. Owners threw tennis balls for dogs to catch in the water, and groups of dogs chased each other around on the grass in the high afternoon sun at 6651 S. Krameria Way, Centennial. Otis, a 5-year-old yellow Labrador, came to the event after enjoying it in previous years with Pam Haigh. “My kids grew up at this pool,” Haigh, 56, said. Otis is “intrigued” by the water, but “for a water dog, he doesn’t swim,” Haigh laughed.

MY NAME IS
JACKIE BURSON
Jackie Burson is an artist with work featured around the south metro area.
Artist, choir singer, member of seniors group Eye through decades I’ve been doing photography for a long time — been fiddling with it for 20-25 years. I started doing painting about a year and half ago. I’m not very good at all the technological stuff now, Photoshop and all that stuff. I tried really hard to learn it … With computers, I’m just not so good. I have had paintings and some photography featured at the Lone Tree Recreation Center and at Southglenn Library. It will also be at Tallyn’s Reach Library in Aurora. And it will also be featured, some of it, in October at Eloise May Library. It’s always nature — it’s landscapes, flowers, some macro photography of flowers. With paintings, I really am turned on and inspired and affected by colors, particularly light colors. In the thick of town I live about a mile north of Southglenn Library, just off South University Boulevard. I’ve lived here for a couple years … I’ve lived in metro Denver for about 45 years, other than one year in California. I’m 71, and I’ve been a massage therapist for a little over 30 years. I owned a massage school for about 10

years. I sold the school a while ago. Most of my time is taken up by painting or photography, every day. Seniors-group member It’s a nonprofit that comes out of California — it’s called Conscious Elders Network, and we’re in the process of starting a group here. We’ve started, but it’s very small, and I would like there to be more people. It’s primarily saying that as elders, we
need to help what’s going on with the planet right now. And we have a certain amount of wisdom, expertise and experience to be able to help. And so, within that group in California, they do things like environmental change and social justice. What we are doing, mostly on first Sunday of each month at Southglenn Library, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., is our first project (on) microlending. If I give someone here $100, that’s a
good dinner. But if we give it to someone in a third-world country, that may really make a difference for them. We’re not doing it to make money — we’re doing it because we want to see what happens, and we want to make a difference for somebody. Look at consciouselders.org for more information.
In the community I go to something at the Buck Community Recreation Center in Littleton called the 5280 Encore Chorale … During the concerts, we all come together at St. Andrew United Methodist Church on University Boulevard a mile south of C-470, and we sing. It’s a choral group for people 55 and older, and we have concerts a couple times a year. It’s non-audition, which is good, because I can’t actually sing (laughs). But when you’re in a group of 75 people … it’s just a great feeling being in the midst of all these people singing. It’s just really cool. A concert happens around late November or December and in the spring as well — a couple per year. I like to take my dog and hang out at deKoevend Park — I love the water there. I’ve taken lots and lots of pictures there. If you have suggestions for My Name Is ..., or if you’d like to be featured, contact Ellis Arnold at earnold@coloradocommunitymedia.com.

Walk for suicide prevention to be held at Coors Field BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Highlands Ranch residents Sheri Cole and Lori Harper both lost a child to suicide. For the past year, they have been organizing the upcoming Metro Denver Out of the Darkness Community Walk, an annual fundraising event to bring hope and healing to others who have been affected by suicide. “It’s just nice to know you are not alone, because you feel so alone when it happens,” said Harper, who lost her daughter to suicide four years ago. More than 3,500 people are expected at this year’s walk at Coors Field in Denver on Sept. 22. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the opening ceremony is at 10 a.m. To avoid long lines, participants can register online at afsp.donordrive. com until noon Sept. 21. Hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the fundraiser features a three-mile walk, mental health resources, silent auction, butterfly-release
ceremony and workshops. Special touches such as a poster covered with notes of hope and a memory tree with photos of the loved ones lost create a sense of comfort and connectedness. To date, $114,774 of a $275,000 goal has been raised. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 31. Funds go toward education, advocacy and research. ASFP partners with and provides resources for several organizations and programs, such as Mental Health First Aid, a training program that teaches the skills to respond to signs of mental illness and substance use, according to its website. “For any cause, more attention, dollars, resources, education and programs that we can bring to it will make an impact,” said Cole, who lost her son to suicide in 2009. The walk grows each year, bringing more people together to connect and find comfort. If you or someone you know is struggling, Colorado Crisis Service is available at 1-844-493TALK.
Exhibit recounts journey to Japan Art students, faculty members took memorable trip abroad to study BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
In late spring, 48 Arapahoe Community College art students and faculty members flew to Japan for the 2018 Study Abroad excursion, landing in Osaka, then onto legendary Kyoto, where they began a journey that included color, sound, food and lots of contrast between old and new in every direction. The Bullet Train whizzed them to Tokyo and a bus took them on a day trip to nearby Kamakura, an ancient capital, with a famous huge Buddha. Participants had prepared with a spring quarter class about what they would discover — and for some, there was help with an effort to raise the necessary money to make the trip. All returned with a head filled with memories and images, with full sketchbooks and camera records — and a most satisfying experience with a different culture. A new exhibit is open through Oct. 3 in the Colorado Gallery of Art at ACC, called “Japan … a Journey of Art.” Third-year art student/traveler/ photographer Jenna Cardenas was on a shift at the gallery desk when we visited and said she is already planning on the 2019 trip to Italy — and was included on last year’s trip to Italy, when there were only seven or eight people. She’s excited to return, and the two-week trip will cover locations from north (Venice) to south (Rome) and a side excursion to Athens and Greek islands … Group leader and photography teacher Trish Sangelo says she makes plans based on how many a tour bus can hold (48) and the next trip is close to full already. Information forms are at the gallery desk. Cardenas is enthusiastic about the plan to offer travel to a wider spectrum of students. Journalism students will be included in 2019 Sangelo observed: “The Japanese
people are very rooted — so different in approach — amazingly polite, silent, respectful, trusting (a scooter with the key left in the ignition) … I realized how to be at peace — being mindful about what you are doing. “The whole point of study abroad is to learn about yourself in another, very different location,” she continued. “My goal is to eventually provide the opportunity school-wide.” Other 2018 faculty included Angela Faris Belt, color photography; Nathan Abel, painting and drawing; and Katie Caron, ceramics. (Caron’s life-sized clump of bamboo trunks surrounded by rocks reaches almost to the ceiling — and grabs one’s attention, leading the way to student work on all the walls and on tables and pedestals throughout the gallery. A visitor finds photographs of ancient and newer structures, markets — and people, including women in lovely, traditional kimonos. Sangelo said people are always taking pictures of each other and every so often, they would come across a woman in a gorgeous kimono, with a photographer recording images of her for posterity. “We would ask if we might shoot a few as well…” The exhibit includes lots of ceramic works, both functional and sculptural — many no doubt produced in summer ceramics classes after travelers returned. And take time to gently leaf through an especially inviting small sketchbook/journal that includes tickets, brochures and watercolors of special places. Makes one feel like booking a flight next week! Additional works are exhibited at the Jantzen Gallery at the Art and Design Center, 2400 W. Alamo Ave., Littleton. (303-797-5958.) An added note: Students can earn some funds for travel if King Soopers shoppers will pick up a Swipe Card at the ACC gallery and load money onto it at the checkout counter from your credit card, then swipe to pay your bill. No cost to you and King Soopers turns over a small percentage to the ACC travel account, which adds up for students. One can reload when it’s empty. Painless way to give a boost to a good cause!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Think of the kids If Congress doesn’t act to save it, we could lose one of the best federal programs keeping kids healthy: The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). LWCF uses funds from offshore energy development — not taxes — to protect natural areas, cultural heritage and access to recreational opportunities. With LWCF set to expire Sept. 30, moms are concerned. We depend on recreational areas to get our kids away from the omnipresent screens, run around outside, breathe fresh air, and release that seemingly

LWCF has made possible many of our playgrounds, ballparks, bike paths and soccer fields, as well as state parks, including local treasures like Cottonwood Park in Aurora, Cherry Creek Reservoirand Roxborough State Park. Over $268 million in federal funds have been brought home to Colorado for these projects. If the program expires that means no federal funds to help maintain existing projects or help build new sports fields as our state grows, making existing ones
as crowded as our roads. Even though bipartisan legislation to permanently renew LWCF has been around for six months, Congress has not acted. Why didn’t Reps. Coffman, Buck, or Lamborn sign onto Rep. Polis’s letter asking for a vote on that bill? Certainly, any parent’s priority is that their kids are healthy. We hope the priorities of their constituents would also be the priorities of the Congressmen. We’re counting on our representatives. So are our kids. Jen Clanahan Colorado Moms Know Best

happens is that we become decisively undecisive. We get so caught up in being undecided that we cannot make a decision. Stuck, frozen in time, and unable to focus on anything else. We seek information, we search the internet, we talk to friends, family, colleagues, coaches, and consultants. Sometimes the information is consistent, and yet other times, the guidance and recommendations could not be any farther apart. It is decision-making atrophy. We are so caught up in making the “right” decision based on the input and feedback from others, and possibly even to be politically correct, that we have stopped thinking for ourselves. It is so much easier to let social media be the judge, or to allow Google to make an informed decision for us. Why should we be taxed with making such hard decisions when artificial intelligence can do it? Now, ask yourself, “Is he talking about artificial intelligence like the internet and technology?” Well, I could be. But I am not. SEE NORTON, P18

No more excuses — we can all help prevent suicide
W
hy do we keep talking about suicide in Colorado? “I can’t really do anything about it anyway.” “It’s not my problem.” GUEST “If people want to COLUMN die, let them.” I’ve heard all of these excuses over the years throughout my suicide prevention work. Yet, I still continue to do my work on the Colorado Suicide Prevention Commission and nationally now. Why? Because it Linda Newell IS our problem. Death by suicide is now a public health crisis, especially in Colorado, that affects almost all of us. There is hardly a person who doesn’t know of someone who has attempted or completed suicide or who has survived a loss of a family member, co-worker,
fellow student or neighbor. Some statistics show that with each suicide comes nearly $1 million in workplace, personal and governmental costs. Even among those not touched directly, we are indirectly paying fiscally or socially whether it’s loss of work productivity or effects of grieving in our neighborhoods, schools or places of worship. With each attempted or completed suicide, loss survivors can become fixated on all the “why” or “what if ” questions, which can bring their own lives to a halt. Some have told me that if a person wants to die, let them. It’s their life after all. Isn’t that what we approved with the Compassionate Choices ballot measure? No. Taking your life because you are about to die due to a terminal illness is not the same. Dying by succumbing to your emotional pain and anguish can be preventable. Does anyone want their loved one or neighbor to die in pain? Others have said that they can’t do
anything about it anyway. Not so. In Colorado, suicide is the leading cause of death for ages 10 to 24. Why? Is it their brain development timing that doesn’t allow them to understand the finality of their act? Or the TV shows or video games they see where a person is injured and gets right back up? Is it the bullying they receive at school that just becomes too painful? Whatever it is, there are “protective factors” that we can encourage or implement that can help prevent others’ self-harm. These protective factors are things that we all can help with - like listening to each other, showing empathy and compassion for one another, showing respect and dignity for each other as humans. These are all things we can do not only in our schools, institutions and workplaces, but also in our everyday life on the sidewalk, in the grocery store, classroom or restaurant. We can be engaged in preventive mental health activities like yoga, walking
in nature, wellness coaching, or counseling. If it’s not us, we can recommend these to others who could benefit. In honoring those no longer with us or still suffering today, consider taking action now during Suicide Prevention Month. We can all have an impact on preventing suicide by looking after each other, or even just treating each other with kindness and care. Yes, suicides continue to be on the rise, but we ALL can do something about it. • Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800273-TALK (8255) — toll free • Colorado Crisis & Support Line: 1-844-493-TALK (8255) — toll free Formerly a Colorado state senator, now a seminary student at Iliff School of Theology, Linda Newell is a writer, speaker, filmmaker and consultant.

Great American Beer Festival is set to BREW UP good times

More than 800 breweries from across nation will take part in Denver event BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
I
n 1993, after geologists Charlie and Janine Sturdavant lost their jobs, they purchased a Victorianstyle home in Golden’s historic district. They filled a machine shop behind the house with old dairy tanks. They transformed the sunroom into a tasting room. The back yard became an intimate beer garden, with picnic tables and bulb lights draped overhead. More than 30 years later, Golden City Brewery is the city’s second largest brewery. “Nothing was planned out — it happened organically,” said Derek Sturdavant, the son of the original owners. After he graduated from college, he took on the role of head brewer, or as his bio says, “mad scientist.” Golden City Brewery, 920 12th St., is one of more than 800 breweries from across the U.S. that will be participating in this year’s Great American Beer Festival in downtown Denver. Sturdavant will be pouring favorites like the Cherry Bomber, which takes a half-pound of cherries per pint, and the Clear Creek Gold Pale Ale, a German-style beer. The three-day beer extravaganza is from Sept. 20-22 at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St. in

Ticket purchase can be done online at greatamericanbeerfestival.com/tickets/public-tickets. The beer fest dates back to 1982.

A culinary exploration of Denver’s history
N
ot everyone can say they achieved a dream they had while in high school. But local wine expert and blogger Simone FM Spinner did just that with the publication of her first book — “Denver Food: A Culinary Evolution.” “Becoming a published book author has been a goal since I was fifteen years old and I finally did it,” she said. “I love food, cooking, and dining out. Working in the wine industry, I have always been lucky to dine out frequently as a part of my work; often in the latest, hottest, most interesting restaurants in the city.” In her book, Simone explores how German, Japanese, Chinese and Italian immigrants made their way to Colorado as part of COMING the gold rush. Soon ATTRACTIONS they were opening up saloons, which later turned into a booming restaurant industry. However, all the recent growth in metro area is causing some of the city’s most unique and historic locaClarke Reader tions to shut down. Which partly inspired Simone to start writing. “My book is essentially a love letter to the city that I fell in love with, which doesn’t really exist anymore,” she explained. “Yet, it is also a glimpse of the future and of the amazing things that are happening right now in Denver.” There’s a lot to know about the culinary scene in Denver, and Simone hopes readers come away understanding there’s a lot of collaboration and community between chefs. She also wants readers to know the Denver culinary community is actively doing their part to stave off waste, food insecurity and hunger, in their restaurants and in their communities. Most importantly, Simone wants readers to understand how many great tastes and flavors there are to explore right at their fingertips. “Denver has long been ignored by food writers, influencers, and critics. People assume that Denver is just about steaks, Mexican food, and novelty dishes. Denver’s culinary scene is a bit of a sleeper,” she said. “There is so much truly great food in this city and people should get out and explore a little bit. I really appreciate the immense culinary diversity in Denver.” SEE READER, P16

Communal ‘makerspace’ a do-it-yourself paradise BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Sure, this may be the do-it-yourself era, but DIY starts to feel a little silly once you start adding up the cost of buying a woodshop’s worth of power tools to build a couple chairs or a shelf. That’s where My Own Two Hands Makerspace, due to open in midSeptember at 250 E. Dry Creek Road, comes in. My Own Two Hands will offer guests a place to work on projects big and small in a communal workshop. Here are five things to know.
Lots to work with The shop’s 6,000 square feet will be loaded with all types of tools, said .Jeff Hahn, who co-owns the shop with fiancee Tristan Smith. Guests can use everything from small hand tools, up to drill presses, table saws, lathes and routers, Hahn said. While guests can work on a wide variety of projects, the focus is woodworking, Hahn said. “When we studied other makerspaces around the city and the country, we found the ones that didn’t do as well were those that tried to be everything to everyone,” Hahn said. “They get
stretched too thin offering metalworking and automotive, for instance. We’ll focus on projects for around the home.”
Hahn said his staff is drawn from places like Red Rocks Community College’s woodworking program.
Pay to play Memberships to My Own Two Hands cost $119 a month, or $99 for those who register during this month’s early bird period. Single-day visits cost $25, or you can buy a block of ten for $225. Anyone who wants to use the shop will first need to complete a one- to two-hour safety course, Hahn said, and get a certification that will stay good for three years. The class costs $49 a la carte, but is free for annual members. Additional fees apply to use highend specialty tools or to use the on-site storage.
Classy joint My Own Two Hands plans to offer a slew of classes, including skills workshops, some focused on specific projects, and some on demand. “You can set up to have a whole group come down, and everyone will leave with a pet bed, for instance,” Hahn said. “We’ll also do some date night sort of classes, where boyfriends and girlfriends will each make one of a pair of salt and pepper shakers, for instance.”
Helping hands OK, you’ve taken your safety class, and you’re standing there with an armload of lumber — now what? My Own Two Hands will have a fulltime on-site staff of experts to help plan projects and give advice, Hahn said. “We want DIY to be accessible to everyone,” Hahn said. “So you saw this table on Pinterest, but can’t figure out what to do? We’ll get you there.”
Kids’ stuff Though the minimum age to work independently in the shop is 18, Hahn hopes to connect youngsters with the joy of creation. “We’re hoping to establish partnerships with the schools, since woodshops in schools have faded in recent years,” Hahn said. “We also want to work with scout groups and host birthday parties.” “There’s such pride in making something yourself,” Hahn said. “Everyone should get to experience that.”
Denver. (Tickets maccjcc.org.) On Oct. 6, Rabbi Sloway performs at Hamilton Hall, the Newman Center, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., at 8 p.m. (Bleau at 2 p.m.) (Tickets: newmantix.com, 303-871-7720.) On Oct. 13-14, Rabbi Soloway performs at the Boulder Jewish Community Center, 6007 Oreg Ave., Boulder. (Tickets: boulderjcc.org, 720-749-2530.)
History camp History Camp Colorado 2018 is planned for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 13 at Arapahoe Community College, Littleton campus. Speakers are still registering, but there will be a wide choice of45-minute sessions: “An 1830s Fur Trader Converses about Plains Indian Trade”; “The Live and Times of Nikola Tesla”; “A Vice for All: The Seedy Side of Denver”; and more. Historic Littleton Inc. will conduct a historic walk at the end of the day, leading folks to Main Street, where they will perhaps want a beer or a coffee. See historycamp.org/colorado. Costs start at $40 plus fees with lunch; more with T-shirt (order by Sept. 20). Registration ends Oct. 6.
Colorado Humanities “Still Coming Home: Denver Veterans Writing” is available in paperback at bookstores. Resulted from a workshop led by volunteer veterans. $12.95. Organized by Colorado Humanities and Center for the Book.

BEER
IF YOU GO The Great American Beer Festival is coming to downtown Denver.
FROM PAGE 14
The AHA is a division of the Brewers Association, a national nonprofit dedicated to craft brewers. The largest of its kind in the country, the Great American Beer Festival is an opportunity for beer lovers to rejoice in all things beer, from tastings to food pairings to educational sessions with master brewers. This year, more than 8,000 styles of beer will be served. More than 62,000 attendees are expected over the three days. “It’s like a big ol’ music fest but everyone is a craft beer fan,” Sturdavant said. Brewers get creative and showcase new recipes to beer drinkers and to each other. “I always love the fest because there is so much great beer from all over the country,” said Jeff Tyler, head brewer at Spice Trade Brewery, formerly Yak & Yeti Brewpub, in Olde Town Arvada. “You really get to explore and try some things that you wouldn’t be able to try unless you were hopping on an airplane every weekend and going to different places around the country.” Tyler, a New York native with a degree in mechanical engineering, has been the head brewer since 2016. He brews his eclectic beers in a sevenbarrel brewhouse located inside the Yak & Yeti Restaurant, 7803 Ralston Road. The Indian, Nepalese, and Tibetan food restaurant is in a 153-yearold historic home.
Evening sessions: 5:30-10 p.m., Sept. 20, 21 and 22 Afternoon session: noon to 4 p.m., Sept. 22. This session is restricted to American Homebrewers Association (AHA) and Brewers Association members. Where: Colorado Convention Center, “A lot of the beer we do has an interesting culinary influence to it,” said Tyler. Some of his styles are a jalapeno-infused beer, chai milk stout and lemon cello suasion. He describes his favorite, the Jalapeno Lena, as a crisp, clean, effervescent, slightly bitter German-style Pilsner. He will be pouring it, along with four other styles, at the festival. Megan Koloskie, manager of Grist Brewing Company in Highlands Ranch, 9150 Commerce Center Circle, said there’s a strong camaraderie among brewers at the festival. This year, she will be pouring a Berliner Weisse sour-style beer, Mexicanspiced fruit ale and sake collaboration “It’s very fun,” said Koloskie, who is originally from Las Vegas. She discovered her love for craft beer when she moved to Denver. “I’m looking forward to meeting some other brewers and other breweries to do some potential collaborations moving forward, and getting our name out there.” New this year, the beer fest will have

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Grandoozy at Overland Park Denver has taken a stab at big music festivals several times over the years, with pretty mixed results. But Grandoozy, a new three-day, multi-format festival from Superfly (the team behind Bonnaroo and Outside Lands) is looking to break the slump. Held on Sept. 14, 15 and 16 at Overland Park, south of Downtown Denver and west of Denver University, Grandoozy is bringing more than 50 musicians to four stages. Headliners are Kendrick Lamar on Friday, Florence + The Machine on Saturday and Steive Wonder on Sunday.

I am talking about the artificial and made up intelligence of our sources of information and the input we receive from others, and especially from others who change their mind and basis of information on the very last thing that they were told or that they read. And that it is exactly why we need to start exercising our own decision-making muscles again. When we want to build up our physical strength and endurance we do not send our neighbor to the gym. When we need to go to the doctor’s office we do not send our

I wouldn’t mind trying rich and famous for a month or two. But famous for what? Would you rather be a jewel thief or Rickey Henderson, the all-time leader in stolen bases? Would you rather be Godzilla or King Kong? Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? Steve Lawrence or Eydie Gormé? Seals or Crofts? Ben or Jerry? Would you rather have a walk-
cousin to have the X-ray taken for us or have our brother go for the blood test. The answer is no. There are certain things that we have to do, that we are required to do, and that we get rewarded for doing. Decision making is one of those things. Not just the easy ones that we prefer to make, but the difficult decisions that we agonize over as well. What I have learned when it comes to decision making is that a “less is more” approach is the best approach. Seeking wise counsel, having strong advisers, and receiving rock-solid data to support a difficult decision is absolutely encouraged. It is when we seek too much in-
formation, when we try and justify the easy way out because we know someone will give us an opinion that will let us off the hook, and when we spend countless hours and days searching the internet just to make sure we didn’t miss that opinion piece from 2005 that will help us make the “right” decision, that is when we become decisively undecisive. Look, if you are like me and really prefer the easy decisions, but from time to time have to make a really tough call, do yourself a favor and limit the sources of information and people that will influence that decision. You will save time, energy, stress, and relationships, and in the end, I am sure most times you will make
the right decision, and probably the decision that you were going to make even before you did your research and talked to your family and friends. So how about you? How are your decision-making muscles these days? Are you relying more on others and becoming increasingly undecided? I would love to hear your strategy for making up your mind at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can avoid being decisively undecisive, it really will be a better than good week.

Synonym or antonym? Protagonist or antagonist? Would you rather be a metaphor or a cliché? (Be careful what you wish for.) Wide receiver or tight end? Would you rather watch an Adam Sandler movie or hit yourself over the head with a croquet mallet? “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is a short story written by James Thurber. Mitty is an uneventful man who daydreams about being someone he is not: a magnificent surgeon, a deadly assassin, and a Royal Air Force pilot, among others (the film versions are somewhat
different). It’s natural to imagine yourself leading the team down the field in the fourth quarter, or hitting the walk-off to put your team in the play-offs. Those are not unrealistic. Becoming a millionaire overnight supports the concept of the lottery. I see a one-legged man in a wheelchair scratching a lottery ticket at least once a week, and I always hope I will hear him say, “Hallelujah.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

ax Tenbraak is usually a “lock” to be noticed at cross country meets. The Heritage senior typically is among the leading group of runners to finish a race, but it’s his locks of hair that many people notice most. And, his hair is shorter than usual this season after he got a mullet haircut with racing stripes last season before the state cross country meet but claimed it was “really bad” and shaved off all his hair. “I think the hair start-
ed because I got busy, got lazy and got behind in getting my hair cut,” explained Tenbraak. “I found that I liked long hair. My dad doesn’t have a lot of hair and he said I should enjoy it while I have it. He figures I will probably have thin hair like him.” Tenbraak played soccer as a freshman at Heritage before concentrating on cross country and track. “I’ve always been very good at it and have enjoyed running,” he said. “It’s a great way to push myself and see what I’m capable of. The mental toughness aspect is very important.”
COACH’S TAKE: ‘He is one of our top runners and he is a very good student. Last spring in track, he ran most of a race after losing one of his shoes..’ Brian Runyon, Heritage boys cross country coach
Q&A with Tenbraak What’s your favorite pregame meal? Usually I don’t eat a whole lot before a race because I get nervous. I usually have a sandwich of whole wheat, turkey and cheddar cheese. Who is your favorite athlete? For running, I should say Steve Prefontaine, but I also really like basketball and there’s a guy from the Denver Nuggets named Gary Harris who is a really good player and seems like a nice guy. What or who motivates you most to excel in sports? A lot it comes from within but also there are teammates that I want to do well for and help the team do as well as possible.
What is your favorite class in school and why? I really like history. It is very interesting with all the parallels of things that are happening in the past and are currently happening and just how much society and things have changed in terms of technology, social and economic aspects of how people make their livings. What do you like to do away from sports and school? I like to play basketball and I really like music a lot. I play the piano. What are your plans after high school? Hopefully go to college, major in engineering and find a career in that. I will probably run in college as well.
Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight? Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

rvada West athletic director Casey Coons is a Hall of Famer. It is an honor that I envisaged since he was well-schooled. Coons is a fellow graduate of Denver’s Abraham Lincoln High School. Coons, who graduated from high school years after I did, will be part of the 24th Western State OVERTIME Colorado University Hall of Fame class that will be inducted on Sept. 14 in Gunnison. He was an offensive lineman for Western State and a 1980 graduate who played Jim Benton on three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference title teams and twice played in NAIA post-season playoff games. After coaching at Black Hills State University and Western Oregon, Coons returned to Western State in 1988 as an assistant for head coach Duke Iverson. He was promoted to assistant head coach and defensive coordinator in 1991. In three seasons starting with the 1991 campaign, the Mountaineers won three conference titles, advanced to the NAIA playoffs once and made two NCAA playoff appearances. “I think I’m the first assistant coach to go into the Hall of Fame at Western State,” said Coons, who was Arvada West’s head football coach from 2002 to 2011. “We thought we were going to get fired in 1991 unless we turned it around. It wasn’t just me. So much went into it. It’s a we thing, especially in football.” Brent Tollar was one person who sent in a nomination letter. “Coach Coons created a wellbonded defense and team mentality that focused on hard work, grit and an unbreakable ideal that we always stood together as a team,” wrote Tollar. “The only thing that mattered was the name on the front of the jersey. The very foundation that I believe Mountaineer football stands for comes from someone like Casey Coons.” Match point Granted, it wasn’t the U.S. Open tennis championships. SEE BENTON, P21

Eagles edge Warriors in trophy game Heritage posts 28-24 in renewal of rivalry that began in 1972 BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
The Sept. 7 Arapahoe-Heritage game was everything a rivalry contest should be, with both teams making amazing offensive efforts and tough defensive plays. It was a see-saw battle, but when the final buzzer sounded, Heritage won, 28-24. The Arapahoe-Heritage rivalry dates to 1972. The winner of the game gets possession of the Brookridge Trophy, a chromed milk can has plaques attached recording the scores of each game in the rivalry. The games Arapahoe won are black plaques and the games Heritage won are red plaques. In keeping with tradition, the milk can sat on a table on the sidelines during the game. When the final buzzer sounded, Heritage players rushed over, picked up the trophy and carried it back over their heads as they returned to the field. The Heritage students rushed to the field to congratulate the team. “It was an amazing football game,” Eagles coach Tyler Knoblock said. “My hat is off to all the Arapahoe coaches and players. There were a lot of good plays both ways and that is what rivalry games are all about. It looked a little bleak for a while. We made some tough decisions and I thank my assistant coach for helping me make the right decision. We hung in there and we got the win. We need to enjoy the win this weekend and go back to work Monday to get ready for the next one because there are no easy games in this league.” Arapahoe Coach Rod Sherman agreed. “This was everything a high school ri-
On campus: News and notes from local high school sports programs Arapahoe • The boys soccer team is 5-0-1 after a 4-0 win over Littleton on Sept. 8. The Warriors’ defense has given up only two goals this season. Both those tallies were allowed in a 6-2 season-opening win over Aurora Central on Aug. 23. Senior Cameron Gail leads the team with eight goals and two assists. Senior Spencer Cobb has made 30 saves and allowed one goal in 430 minutes of action and fellow senior keeper Lucas Miller has played 50 minutes and made five saves, while allowing one goal. • Junior Kali March delivered a two-run double in the top of the ninth inning and then pitcher Kayleigh Krueger made a highlight reel, two-out defensive play with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth to preserve a 9-8 win over Vista Ridge on Sept. 7.
Heritage players hold the milk can trophy high in the air after the Eagles edged Arapahoe 28-24. The rivalry game dates back to 1972 and the winning team gets to keep the milk can trophy until the next Arapahoe-Heritage game. TOM MUNDS valry football game should be,” he said. “It wasn’t our best game but we played hard. My hat is off to Heritage because they played very well. They are a good team, they are well coached and they played hard. We know there are areas where we need to improve. For example, I thought we lost the battle at the line of scrimmage at times. We will spend time looking at the film of the game, and Monday we will go to work to strengthen the areas we feel need to be strengthened.” Eagles running back Gianni Palazzo scored a pair of touchdowns. Heritage scored on the first play from scrimmage as Eagles quarterback Connor Commiskey connected with receiver Terrance Ferguson on a touchdown pass that covered 78 yards. The extra point was good and the Eagles led 7-0 just 50 seconds into the game. SEE TROPHY, P26
• The football team appeared to be running out the clock but lost a fumble and ended up losing a 28-24 game to rival Heritage on Sept. 7. The setback snapped Arapahoe’s three-game winning streak against Heritage in the battle for the Brookridge Trophy. • Chris Jonell led three Arapahoe golfers with good rounds in the Sept. 4 Centennial tournament at Aurora Hills golf course.

Littleton • The football team is off to an 0-2 start after losses to Abraham Lincoln and Centaurus but has shown offensive potential by scoring 42 points in those setbacks. The Lions travel to Niwot on Sept. 14 in an attempt to snap a five-game losing streak that dates back to last season. • Sophomore Allison Groustra leads the volleyball team with 34 kills after six matches while junior Addison Bouck is the team leader with 11 blocks. Claire Fielder has 58 digs and Sophia Groustra has 73 assists.

It was the 13th annual Willow Creek Classic doubles tournament Sept. 5-9 at courts in the Willow Creek neighborhood in Centennial and other South Suburban courts. Tennis players from the south Denver area apparently like to wrap up the summer tennis season with competitive, tough matches that are fun and without a lot of pressure. Plus there was always food and drinks waiting at the conclusion of matches in the quaint, unsanctioned tournament in which players have to register by mail. This year 225 players entered in women’s 3.o, 3.5 and 4.0 doubles and men’s 3.5, 4.0 doubles. There was competition in 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 mixed doubles. The tourney concluded with an eight-game pro set mixed doubles event. “The tournament does attract good tennis players who feel welcome and are not intimidated,” said tournament organizer Rick Bolin. “What sets the tournament
apart from other tournaments is that people love how social it is, how friendly it is and we as organizers go out of our way to make sure there is food and drinks available. The fridge is fully stocked. “We attract great tennis players from all over the south metro area from Highlands Ranch, Ken Caryl, Parker, the Pinery, and last year we had four women who came down from Aspen. We allowed as many people to register as we could find courts and then we had to stop.” Willow Creek resident Jamele Leyden has played in the tournament since it started. “Even if you are not playing there is someone that I know that is on the court,” she said. “It’s a great tournament to relax. It is well run. Everyone is playing to win but it’s such a relaxed environment and at some point you are going to be playing against people you know. Because it’s non-sanctioned there is no pressure. It’s fun.” Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@ coloradocommunitymedia.com.
