‘Music Matters’ brings seniors together Jim Anderson sang, played flute, trumpet at event

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Where can you hear “All My Ex’s Live in Texas” and “What a Wonderful World” all in one go?

Jim Anderson, a 75-year-old entertainer from Aurora, brought those songs and more to a small audience of seniors in Centennial Nov. 8. He led the crowd in singalongs to songs such as Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” and also performed more plaintive numbers like Marvin Gaye’s “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology).”

The event at the Centennial Community Room, 7272 S. Eagle St., near East Arapahoe and South Jordan roads, was part of the Centennial Active Seniors program, a slew of events aimed at giving seniors educational and entertaining things to do. A new initiative for the city, it kicked off in June.

Anderson, a lively and humorous performer, plays at retirement communities, as well as for homeless individuals at the Denver Rescue Mission, he said.

For senior crowds, seeing the audience’s response is his favorite part.

“Just watching them enjoy themselves,” Anderson said.

Fallen heroes honored alongside Dietz New monument remembers troops who died with Littleton native

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The parents of Navy SEAL Danny Dietz dedicated a new memorial on Nov. 12 to the 19 American servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice alongside their son in Afghanistan in 2005.

The stone obelisk, topped by a soaring eagle and engraved with the names of the 19, stands just feet away from a statue of Dietz in Berry Park on Berry Avenue west of Federal Boulevard.

“My brother wasn’t alone on the mountain that day,” said Tiffany Bitz, Dietz’s sister. “It’s only fitting that his teammates join him here.”

The monument was donated by funeral services company Matthews International, supported by the Dietz family and Veterans Funeral Care, a funeral home focused on veterans.

The 19 men died in June 2005 as part of Operation Red Wings, an effort to subdue “anti-coalition militia” fighters in eastern Afghanistan, according to the Marine Corps Gazette. Dietz, a Littleton native, was one of three members of a four-man SEAL team

killed by fighters under the command of Ahmad Shah, a local warlord. A rescue helicopter was also shot down

by Shah’s fighters, killing 16 men.

Shah’s group was defeated in battle in August 2005.

“The guys of Operation Red Wings came from all over this country from different backgrounds, for different reasons, to fight for a bigger cause,” said Cindy Dietz, Danny’s mother.

“My son would talk with pride about the love he had for his team.”

Joining Dietz in the dedication were Congressman Mike Coffman — a Marine — Littleton mayor pro-tem Jerry Valdes and Jim Rudolph, president of Veterans Funeral Care. Dietz’s father, Danny Sr., attended but did not speak.

He wore a baseball cap reading “Lone Survivor,” referencing a book and movie about his son’s final mission.

“These men gave the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our freedom and our country,” Coffman said. “It’s the proud tradition of Littleton to honor not only one of its own who fell in that mission, but to honor all 19 who fell that day.”

Turning toward the statue of her son, Cindy Dietz spoke directly to him.

“Son, it makes me happy seeing these two monuments together knowing that the team will continue today in spirit, today, tomorrow and forever,” Cindy said. “We shall never forget.”

Cindy Dietz speaks in front of a statue of her son Danny, a Navy SEAL, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005.

City to repeal Arapahoe Road dealerships rule Citizens stand by petition effort amid ‘dark money’ accusations

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A months-long rift over whether to allow new car dealerships on East Arapahoe Road in central Centennial will come to somewhat of a close as the city council looks to repeal its recent decision that would have opened the door to more dealers.

“It’s not the right thing if it’s going to cause this much divisiveness on council and between citizens and council,” Mayor Stephanie Piko said at the council’s Nov. 5 meeting.

The contentious meeting came nearly two weeks after a citizen petition to halt the change was deemed sufficient by the city clerk, garnering roughly 4,700 valid signatures. That’s more than 600 above the threshold that petitioners needed to clear, according to results from the city clerk’s office.

Some residents have expressed the desire for different kinds of development — theaters, restaurants or other shopping, for example — in the nearly built-out stretch of the city, where car dealerships are the defining feature of the thoroughfare for several blocks.

A 5-4 city council decision on Aug. 13 to allow new — not used — car dealerships on the Central Arapahoe Road Corridor, roughly between Interstate 25 and South Parker Road, prompted the petition. The council voted to move toward reversing that change at the Nov. 5 meeting.

Councilmembers voted 7-2 to direct city staff to bring an ordinance to repeal the one allowing for new dealer-

ships, with councilmembers Candace Moon and Ron Weidmann opposed.

That ordinance moved forward Nov. 13 unanimously, with a public hearing on it set for Dec. 3.

That move allows the council to possibly pass some kind of compromise, as well as avoid a special election in which voters would have approved or voted down the ordinance sometime around spring.

After the petition’s success, attention turned to the funding behind the effort: An enigmatic Delaware-based company, Sequoia Community Partners LLC, spent more than $107,500 to provide “in-kind” support to the committee, including $96,000 that went to a firm gathering signatures for the petition, according to a campaignfinance report filed with the city.

Michael Glass and Rhonda Livingston, the Centennial residents who brought the 2018 petition forward, did not answer questions on who Sequoia Community Partners is and the source of the money for petition costs.

Glass, in a Nov. 12 email to Colorado Community Media, said what mattered was the petition’s result.

“What we learned is, for the second time, Centennial citizens said ‘no’ to more new car sales on Arapahoe Road,” he said.

‘Citizens don’t have $100,000’ Councilmember Mike Sutherland took issue with outside money coming from an entity that doesn’t appear to own property or reside in the city, he said during the meeting.

“When this city was formed, it was formed on the principle of selfdetermination,” Sutherland said.

“Accepting so-called dark money from outside the city flies in the face of self-determination.”

The effort started with a group of citizens that cared about the issue,

Law enforcement, firefighters and paramedics are training side-byside this month, part of an effort to coordinate and streamline emergency response to mass shootings.

Hosted by South Metro Fire Rescue and involving a dozen area police departments and sheriff ’s offices, the “Active Threat Response” training sessions pit first responders against a mock massacre in a church basement.

“The idea is stress inoculation,” said South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman Eric Hurst. “The more we can expose first responders to a high level of stress, the better they’ll handle it in real life. It’s their responsibility to manage a scene as they’ve been trained.”

During a session held Nov. 9 at Brave Church in Cherry Hills Village, EMTs and college students portrayed a half-dozen shooting victims — one of whom was assumed to be the shooter. The actors’ faces were caked with stage makeup to look like bloody bullet wounds. Several “victims” wore “cut suits,” which are flesh-like

their heels followed crews of paramedics, wearing ballistic vests and helmets that made them difficult to discern from police.

Officers stood stock-still with guns trained on doorways while paramedics triaged victims, stabilizing wounds and whisking them outside to waiting ambulances.

The presence of paramedics immediately behind police officers is a change in tactics from years past when paramedics waited until law enforcement declared an entire building safe to enter, Hurst said. One instructor cited the death of Coach Dave Sanders, who bled to death in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, as a failure of the old strategy.

Training together helps emergency responders identify shortcomings in cross-agency communication, said Jackie Erwin, Littleton Fire Rescue’s emergency manager.

“Being able to communicate and understand what each other are doing is crucial,” Erwin said. “This introduces and reinforces terminology that police and fire use between each other.”

The unfortunate reality is preparing for massacres is important these days, Hurst said.

“We’re seeing these events all over the country,” Hurst said. “This is a response to the world around us.”

Hurst said the training taking place in a church was “tragically ironic,” coming just two weeks after a man killed 11 worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue.

“We want to be ready when the worst happens,” Hurst said.

Brazilian steakhouse carves new space STAFF REPORT

Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão is set to open its second greater Denver area location.

The multi-story restaurant at 8419 Park Meadows Center Drive in Lone Tree will open Nov. 23 with two fully functioning levels, each equippd with its own churrasco grill, Market Table, bar and outdoor patio.

Fogo specializes in the Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco, roasting high-quality cuts of meats over an open flame, with a service model known as “espeto corrido” — Portuguese for “continuous service”.

With construction nearing completion in the Vistas at Park Meadows

mall, Fogo continues to assemble its staff, including Ron Staffieri, general manager, and Roberto De Moura, head gaucho chef. The restaurant is expected to bring 95 positions to the Denver job market.

“Fogo de Chão in LoDo has been part of downtown Denver’s backdrop for almost 10 years,” Staffieri said in a news release. “It is with that history in mind we decided to explore a future in south Denver. It has been a ripe area for development, and we believe our authentic Southern Brazilian culture and cuisine will be a great fit.

Our guests can expect to receive the same experience here in Lone Tree that they would at any of our locations in Brazil.”

‘It’s our Super Bowl’: Holidays are big deal at Park Meadows

Park Meadows mall has been gearing up for the holiday shopping season. Its elaborate decorations and displays will be topped off with a 3-D light display on the outside of the mall and an interactive Santa display.

The holiday shopping season is the busiest time of year for the Park Meadows mall. In November and December, 2.5 million people will visit the mall district. The mall reported about $196 million in sales in the two months last year, according to Lone Tree city officials.

This year, the National Retail Federation, a retail trade association, estimates shoppers will increase their spending by about 3.6 percent, according to a 2018 study. November and December sales made up 24 percent of the mall’s annual revenue in 2017.

Running out of a popular item or having potential customers deterred because of long lines can mean the difference of millions of dollars in sales revenues. And retailers are taking notice.

One of those retailers is Macy’s, a flagship holiday department store and one of Park Meadows’ five anchor stores.

Macy’s rolled out new technology this fall to make shopping at its Park Meadows location as “friction-free” as possible, according to media relations director Joy Deinla.

To give shoppers an option for waiting in line at the cash register, shoppers can download the Macy’s Mobile Checkout app to let customers scan items and pay for products with their phone as they shop. Sensors at each exit will allow customers to remove the security tags on the clothes once they have paid.

Centennial is accepting applications to fill openings on two finance committees.

The audit committee reviews staff recommendations based on the city’s process for requesting proposals and interviews to select an auditor or auditing firm to perform the annual audit required by city charter. The committee also receives and reviews the findings and reports of such auditors and presents the annual or other audit reports to the city council.

The investment committee routinely reviews the city’s investment

policy and makes recommendations to city council for revisions when deemed necessary. It also receives performance reports of the city’s investments and periodically reports the performance of the city’s investments to the city council.

Terms are for three years. Meetings take place at the Centennial Civic Center, 13133 E. Arapahoe Road, Centennial. Candidates with relevant experience may obtain further details and an application at www.centennialco.gov/Government/boards-commissions.aspx.

Colorado-based 98th Signal Battalion prepares for deployment This marks the battalion’s first full deployment since WWII

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For Capt. Justin Brown, an Arvada resident, deployment means leaving his family and friends behind. It means leaving beautiful Colorado, missing ski season and racking up his mountain bike. But it also means supporting a mission he believes in. A mission dedicated to ensuring freedoms of those abroad who are under threat.

Brown is one of over 60 men and women from across Colorado who are preparing to deploy just after Thanksgiving with the U.S. Army Reserve

98th Expeditionary Signal Battalion Alpha Co., which is based in the Denver metro area.

This deployment marks the battalion’s first full deployment since departing to the Pacific Theater in 1943 during World War II. It is also the first time they’ve deployed as members of America’s Army Reserve, as the battalion was an active-duty unit during WWII. During this deployment, the 98th — part of the 335th Signal Command (Theater) — will provide and manage communication and information systems to keep ground force commanders connected to the front-line troops in support of Operation Enduring Freedom Spartan Shield in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Suspect killed, deputy wounded on Arapahoe Road CALM AFTER THE STORM

SM

A suspect drove this car before being fatally shot by sheriff’s deputies Nov. 15, according to the sheriff’s office. Deputies pursued the suspect to the corner of East Arapahoe Road and South Dayton Street about 9:15 a.m. after a reported domestic disturbance, and they saw him reach for what was believed to be a firearm, according to the sheriff’s office.

A suspect is dead and three deputies are on paid leave after deputies opened fire on the suspect in Arapahoe County after he fled the scene of a reported domestic violence incident Nov. 15, according to the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office.

The suspect, whose name has not been released, was transported to an area hospital and later pronounced dead, a news release from the sheriff ’s office said. One deputy received minor injuries and is expected to be OK, said Julie Brooks, sheriff ’s office spokeswoman. As of a news conference shortly before 11 a.m., it was unclear how the deputy was injured. It was not due to a vehicle crash, Brooks said at 2 p.m.

Deputies pursued the man for potential charges of felony menacing after reports he may have threatened someone with a firearm, according to the sheriff ’s office. The sheriff ’s office received a call from a bystander at 9:06 a.m. who reported the incident, which occurred at a business near Arapahoe Road and Potomac Street in Centennial. After deputies arrived, the suspect fled in his vehicle, authorities said.

“Deputies were pretty close by and responded immediately,” Brooks said.

The names of the deputies involved have not been released. Two of the deputies placed on leave have been with the sheriff ’s office for more than 10 years and one has been with the agency for three years, according to a news release.

The suspect’s name will be released by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office after appropriate notifications

have been made, the release said.

According to the sheriff ’s office, here’s how the incident unfolded: Officers in patrol cars chased the suspect to the intersection of Arapahoe Road and South Dayton Street, where they boxed him in with their vehicles. They approached the car he was driving and ordered him to get out. He ignored their commands and as officers attempted to break in his window, they saw him reach for what they believed was a firearm. They opened fire on him at about 9:15 a.m.

Deputies immediately removed him from the car and began CPR once he was deemed to no longer be a threat, the release said. Authorities recovered a loaded gun from the car he was driving.

Brooks did not know how many shots were fired. No one else was in the vehicle with the suspect. The scene sits along the border between Centennial and Greenwood Village.

As of the afternoon of Nov. 15, Brooks said she was not aware of any injuries at the site of the shooting other than those of the suspect and deputy, she said.

Brooks said the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office Critical Response Team would be responsible for determining if a weapon was in the man’s vehicle, what kind it was and whether he grabbed it and pointed it at deputies.

Two investigations are underway.

One is a criminal investigation into the potential felony menacing charges and a second into the use of lethal force by deputies. How many deputies shot at the suspect and how many times he was shot would be information released by the Critical Response Team after its investigation, Brooks said.

Somehow, tiny dog can occupy whole heart QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

A

reader said she had a fever.

“And the only prescription is more dachshund.”

I asked her what she meant, but I already knew.

“It’s the news,” she said. “The news is getting me down. I need more dachshund.”

I promised my editor no more columns about the dog this year.

“I’m starting to sound like I have a heart. H.L. Mencken never used the word ‘chewie,’ did he?”

But here I am. When a reader

needs dachshund, a reader needs dachshund.

Harry turned one recently. I hope he is fully grown. He was supposed to be a miniature, but he’s more like a small standard, which is still pretty small next to a Weimaraner, like the one who lives across the street, and the Great Dane who lives (and barks) next door.

I think the reader needed some cute stories about dachshunds, and I have plenty. I’m just concerned about the overall perception.

How can I be taken seriously if I write about a low-to-the-ground, tubular animal with four tubs of toys, one for every room, who pillows his head next to mine?

Can’t.

While I was writing those first few sentences, I could hear Harry chewing on something, and made an assumption. He owns enough chewies for a kennel.

But I looked down, and saw the insides of a plastic floss dispenser: a waxen thread that wrapped around my office chair.

I found the outsides in another room, indented with teeth markings, unmistakably dachshund in origin. I found all of the parts, and feel certain he didn’t swallow anything he shouldn’t have. (I guess I will find out.)

There’s a table next to the bed.

That’s where he found the floss.

There’s a lamp and a radio on the table. Nothing else should be on the table, but sometimes out of neglect there is.

Mothers’ Milk Bank network gains donation center Mountain Midwifery in Englewood will be site for collection STAFF REPORT

Mountain Midwifery Center in Englewood is opening a human milk donation and outreach center, joining the national network of Mothers’ Milk Bank.

Mountain Midwifery will safely collect and transport all milk donations to the Arvada facility, where it will be pasteurized, analyzed and distributed to babies. Most of the milk recipients are born prematurely or are fragile for other reasons and in neonatal intensive care units. At times, mothers cannot supply any or enough milk for their infants and donor human milk

He’s taken my glasses. He’s taken the remote. Now the floss. Maybe it was meant to happen, because while I was looking at the gutted floss dispenser, it gave me an idea.

I said to it, “Who are you?”

A New Orleans dentist named Levi Spear Parmly came up with the idea for floss in 1819.

He recommended running a waxen thread “through the interstices of the teeth.” Floss was not commercially available until 1892.

Now the use of floss is an important step in preventing gum disease, but it’s not always taken, and sometimes it is not taken correctly. Please listen to your dental hygienist.

I get my teeth cleaned four times a year because of my dental history.

We don’t have to look so hard for the opportunities to be grateful and show appreciation, they are everywhere, they are all around us.

So, if those opportunities to showcase our attitude of gratitude are all around us, why do we miss them? Have we just become accustomed to taking things for granted? Are we too busy?

Moving too fast? Are we so focused on what’s on our phone that we miss who is standing right in front of us?

If it’s true, and even if we feel like maybe we are one of those people who are too busy, moving too fast, and too preoccupied, the good news is we can change all of it by changing our outlook and behavior when it comes to

November is National Prematurity And Harry will have to get his teeth cleaned too.

I don’t get numbed, but they will have to knock him out, and it’s a halfday process.

He will be dropped off in the morning, and I will pick him up after noon.

I could do it myself, but I would rather not. He can wriggle like an eel, and jump and twist, and I would never get the job done properly.

I am sure he would think it was a game.

To the reader who needed dachshund, thank you. It’s almost unimaginable what benefits there are, that can be derived, from a 14-pound entity that arrived by Delta Cargo from Missouri just eight months ago, that has already burnished my heart.

Yes, my heart.

It has been said that gratitude is one of the strongest human emotions. So on this Thanksgiving holiday, who will we bless with the feeling of gratitude?

Maybe we can think of one or two, maybe a few more than that, and maybe even many people.

But it the end, when we express our love and gratitude, and love and appreciation for those around us, we have to remember that we are gifting ourselves as well through our giving of Thanksgiving to others.

Bryan Austin, 60, primps his mustache before a Nov. 9 Christmas party hosted by a local Mothers of Preschoolers group. It takes about 30 minutes for Austin to sculpt his beard and mustache to look like Santa’s.

ryan Austin didn’t have to wait for his beard to turn white to become Santa.

The 60-year-old Austin has been performing as Santa for 11 seasons and wore the red suit while his hair was still, actually, red.

When he’s not wearing the suit, the Highlands Ranch resident does computer security work for IBM. He was just 49 years old when he began as a mall Santa, developing an entire act to sell his Santa-ness.

And he has Santa down to a science.

“If I come into your house and I don’t leave you with a strong memory,” Austin said, “I’ve not done my job.”

Austin’s coordinated performance includes all sorts of creative acts — from singing to performing an illusional disappearance act with his Elf on a Shelf and thoughtfully scripted commentary for his reading of “The Night Before Christmas.”

It helps that he has a perfectly round belly so he can tell kids to poke it if they ask if he’s real.

Before a Nov. 9 performance for a Mothers of Preschoolers group in

Mike Cawthra, 64, sits at a bench at Addenbrooke Park in Lakewood dressed as Santa after a Nov. 10 event at the local Goddard School. Cawthra said the best part about the job is all the joy and love your receive and give on a daily basis.

Highlands Ranch, Austin laid out the contents of his bag across his bed for a final check to make sure everything was there: His naughty-and-nice list, a small “magical” chest wired with lights and lined with glitter, his favorite version of “The Night Before Christmas,” his Elf on a Shelf, and other trinkets and accessories to complete the Santa look.

“Everybody adds their own

personality. You just can’t help it,” Austin said. “But the important qualities aren’t that so much as you being jovial. You have to be jovial the entire time.”

In his younger years, Austin was trim and athletic. He graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in aerospace engineering. He always loved kids and is involved with youth leadership at his church. He even graduated

from high school in North Pole, Alaska. The shoe fit. He will see about 150 clients through November and December and charges between $225 and $300 an hour, depending on how close to Christmas it is. He visits hospitals for free and offers discounted appearances for those in need as well.

Becoming Santa Claus is not as simple as donning a red-and-white coat. It’s not destined for any man with a long white beard, blue eyes and a round stomach, and not everyone who can “ho, ho, ho” can do it correctly: Exactly three “hos” — not two or four. No pause. From the stomach.

There’s also the hat, the rosy red cheeks, the glasses, the boots (brown or black) and the gloves (black or white). Anyone can look like Santa. Developing the persona is a skill that takes years to master.

“You learn that. It’s kind of like a professional actor,” Austin said.

“They’ve got to learn their craft and get to a point where they learn what it’s like and how to overcome certain obstacles.

“They want to keep that belief going as long as they possibly can.”

Classic Dickens tale gets tuneful turn ‘A Christmas Carol: The Musical’ ends run two days before holiday

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Snow-frosted windows make up a curtain/backdrop for Town Hall Arts Center’s appealing production of “A Christmas Carol: The Musical,” which runs through Dec. 23. It’s an ideal family show, though tiny people might be frightened by the required ghosts.

Dickens’ classic story is set to music by Broadway regulars Alan Menken (music); Lynn Ahrens (lyrics) and Ahrens and Mike Ockrent (book) — and has a very pleasing score, starting with a cast rendition of “London Town Carol.”

We immediately meet Ebenezer Scrooge (Stephen Turner), standing outside his door — frowning, watching the happy carolers and muttering his famous “Humbug!” line. “Charity is what the wealthy do on Christmas Eve,” he comments. “Every idiot who goes about with `Merry Christmas’ on this lips should be buried in his own plum pudding!” His grumbling

goes on as a man asks him for money.

“Are there no prisons?? Let them die and decrease the surplus population!”

No doubt about this guy! Might he be helped to feel a bit better about his world?? Therein lies a beloved story!

Turner’s portrayal of Dickens’ prickly man is especially well done, I think, kept a bit low-key as he gradually learns to let his guard down. Expressive eyes and face will go a long way — without a great many words.

Experienced director Bob Wells has orchestrated the whole production to be mostly upbeat, but with soft edges.

The choreography by Kelly Kates is especially well thought out, given a large cast (27) and Town Hall’s small stage. With input from Ghost of Christmas Present John Mackey (who is also dance captain), there is suddenly a jolly tap number that delighted the audience and even got old Scrooge moving his feet! Nice touch.

Who on earth can be cranky about wee Tiny Tim? (Petite Kyriana Kratter is a third-grader who has participated in St. Luke’s UMC theatrical productions.) She plays the little boy with a crippled leg, carried by his devoted father, Bob Cratchit, who is Scrooge’s poor clerk. Cratchit and his family are a fairly constant presence in the background, preparing for a meager

ghost, followed by the Ghosts of “A Christmas Car- Christmas Past … ol: The Musical” Christmas Present … and Christmas plays through Dec. 23 at Town Future. (The best Hall Arts Center, part, according to a 12-year-old guest.)

This “Broadway” version, with its musical telling, offers a delightful evening, where young and older walk out smiling happily. Choreographer Kelly Kates commented about how pleasant it seems, after “all the ugliness we’ve heard recently.”

She’s right on about added reasons to enjoy an evening with Ebenezer Scrooge!

And the colorful costumes and well-blended voices carry the story, which ends just as we know it will: “God Bless us, every one!”

It’s the most ‘Nutcracker’ time of the year Classic production appears at venues throughout Denver metro area

Lauren Vogel and Tate Ryner will dance in Littleton Ballet’s “Nutcracker.”

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” was written in 1816 by E.T.A. Hoffmann as a holiday tale for children, and in 1892, Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky wrote the familiar music we hear each holiday season. He collaborated with Russian choreographers Petipa and Lev Ivanov to create “The Nutcracker” Ballet, which brings in the holiday season worldwide, with its story of Clara and a gift from Godfather Drosselmeyer of a mysterious nutcracker, which becomes her Prince — plus a whole cast of fairy tale characters who inhabit her dreams of a festive Christmas: Sugar Plums, et al.

We list a sampling of productions readily available in the Denver metro area (and one in the mountains), hoping many area families will be able to enjoy this lovely tradition. Young dancers grow up with this music and story as part of the season — progressing through roles as they become taller, older and more skilled. Only a few reach the level of Colorado Ballet’s stars, but almost all who dance will carry the music with them forever.

Included: dancing dolls, a fierce

November 23, 2018 This installation by Jenny Callahan greets the visitor as they enter the “Shared Visions” exhibit of tactile art at Colorado Gallery of the Arts.

Art show isn’t just meant to be seen ‘Shared Visions’ exhibit features works that visitors are welcome to touch

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Look left as you enter the “Shared Visions” exhibit at Colorado Gallery of the Arts, in the Annex at the east end of Arapahoe Community College in Littleton — and you’ll see a sign inviting you to “touch” and a giant yellow replica of a common 2HB pencil hung at an angle on the wall. A line flows from its lead tip to the corner …

Artist Isabelle Beauprez has written: “I enjoy blowing things out of proportion — that includes art projects. I choose a pencil as it’s often the artist’s first tool. Prior to moving on to another medium.” Might she be headed to a furniture design career?

Note that all labels are both in Braille and in text, so a sighted visitor can try to imagine how it might be to gain information through the fingertips …

Turn left past the pencil, open a worn wooden door and enter “Escape,” in the gallery’s new Installation Room. Artist Marci Corbitt has created her image of a hike in the mountains, with a leafstrewn path, plant material surrounding it, and a fan making a cool breeze.

It even smells “woodsy” like it should — moist and inviting. At the rear is a painting, framed by dried branches, leading the eyes into the distance.

Gallery director Trish Sangelo is happy to offer the new space as a different challenge to artists.

Perhaps in its former life, it was a storage closet for cleaning supplies, but it will be fun to see what artists create here.

The “Shared Visions” tactile art exhibit runs through Dec. 3 and is a repeat of a successful collaboration between ceramics, painting and 3D design students from Arapahoe Community College and the Colorado Center for the Blind, which opened with a reception on Nov. 1.

If one enters and looks straight across the gallery, there is an entertaining installation by Jenny Callahan that invites one to invent a story about it. At the left, a bird-like creature with a long blue beak and beady eye is tangled in some rope netting — i.e., a giant yellow spider web.

To the right sits a rotund, genial-looking, multi-colored spider, created from bits of pink, purple, orange, red and other bits of tissue, tucked into wire

Found objects, driftwood, metal objects and more, some clearly inspired from nature and “what in the world is this” items have found their way into an art show with imaginative manipulation. A dinner plate-sized bristly dried flower-ish image suggests a dried sunflower — but not quite. It is almost a bit menacing as it droops/climbs out of its box.

Does it bite? Here too, one is invited to touch the images.

In contrast, farther along is a bright yellow 3D sunflower, attached to an electric cord and plug at the end of its stem, where it plunges into a large flowerpot.

These continue past the spider and around the remainder of the gallery: more paintings and assembled images, some highly textured. Colors are bright in general. Ceramics vary between functional pottery and sculptural works.

Interior Design student Corella Tejussa exhibits a design board for “a beach house in Panama, where I come from.” It uses subtle colors with carpet, fabric and paint samples, enclosed in a house-shaped wood box frame. At the bottom of the frame is a slim green box, holding sand and a few shells — just a suggestion of the real thing — and very touchable.

Some framed works have raised images — a pair of pink aquatic salamanders, called “Olms” by artist Arlana Rathbun, circle around a baby protectively, mounted on a deep blue background and framed like a proper family portrait. Readers are invited to visit this exhibit, and please do touch the art!

If you go: “Shared Visions” is in Colorado Gallery of the Arts, located at the east side of the Littleton Arapahoe Community College Campus, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton. Hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, until 7 p.m. Tuesdays.

Admission is free.

Training is intense Susen Mesco has been training Santas for 37 years. She’s the president of American Events and Promotions in Denver and is de facto instructor for all things Santa.

On the first day of class, Mesco hands her aspiring Santas a piece of paper and asks them to write down the top 15 speed-dial contacts on Santa’s phone.

Most come up with the typical Mrs. Claus and maybe the head elf. The first lesson Mesco teaches them is to think outside the box. How about Santa’s dentist? Or the people working in the “distribution department”? It’s an exercise to get the men who look like Santa to start thinking like Santa.

“Santa starts to see himself as this alter-ego that pulls him into a 3-D life,” Mesco said. “Pretending is exhausting. Being is not. You don’t put on your costume, you put on your outfit.”

To Mesco, a Lafayette resident, details are vital. The authenticity of the Santa depiction is what can leave a child with a lasting memory. And Mesco leaves no stone unturned.

She teaches courses in sign language and child development psychology. Santas go to the toy store to learn about the hottest toys available. Santas learn how to speak differently to a 3-year-old than to a 5-year-old, how to interact with autistic children and how to answer the impossible questions like “Santa, are you real?”

“Virtually nothing blindsides them because they’ve learned to think like Santa,” Mesco said. “It is the highlight of the child year, spending time with this magical creature. It should matter to you as much as it matters to the child.”

With a great beard . . .

Mike Cawthra’s favorite color is blue.

It’s the color he wears most often in the spring and summer, and it’s the color of his 2009 Ford Mustang with the license plate that reads SLEIGH2.

Cawthra, of Lakewood, graduated from Mesco’s Santa school in 2008. A retired elementary school teacher of 31 years, Cawthra’s Santa is one that loves to tell stories.

Expressing the personality of the men performing as Santa can make a child’s experience special, Mesco said.

Of course, Cawthra’s beard is real.

His makeup has touches of glitter in it.

Even his fake eyelashes are white. It’s a detail Mesco proudly claims as part of her “spare-no-detail” mentality.

Cawthra is Santa during the Christmas season. The rest of the 10 months, he’s just Mike — Mike who wears blue and drives a blue Mustang and happens to have a long white beard and white hair.

“God gave me white hair and I use my powers for good,” Cawthra said.

“It’s incredibly rewarding, but it’s not who I am 365 days a year. It’s fun, but it’s not all of life.”

Though he’s not “Santa” all year, Cawthra still bears the responsibility of being Santa to any child who asks.

That’s why he always carries with him special-made coins that say “Santa caught me being good” to reinforce his character, even if he’s wearing blue instead of red.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BE SANTA? Susen Mesco, president of American Events and Promotions, has been educating men to become Santa Claus for 37 years. She said it can cost a lot of money just to put the suit together, not to mention the hours of preparation, education and practice to make sure a one-hour event can keep a child believing.

“It used to be you’d go down to Party City and pick up a $27.99 suit,” Mesco said. “Suits now are custom-made.”

Here are Mesco’s estimates of how much it can cost to look like Santa: • Suit: Up to $8,000 • Belt: Up to $500 • Boots: $600 • Beard maintenance: $150 • Santa association dues: $100 • Training: $35 • Liability insurance: $2,000 “Every once in a while, in the summer, when somebody says something to ‘Santa,’ you’ve got to be able to come up with an answer,” Cawthra said. “If you do something rude or crude, people will say ‘That’s not very Santa-like.’ ” Retaining the Santa character is often more work than the performance itself.

Santas have to stay in shape, lest their legs become too weak for children to sit on (in one recent 2 1/2-hour photo session, Cawthra saw 150 children) or Santa catches the flu from a child (Mesco said most Santas go through five pairs of gloves a day).

There’s the Society of Santas and the International Brotherhood of RealBearded Santas — social Santa meet-up groups for Santas to trade notes and join in fellowship. Some men choose to be Santa all the time. One man, Cawthra recalled, changed his legal name to Santa Claus.

Once the Christmas season is over, Santa Mike will go back to Mike Cawthra. Some Santas, like Austin, will work well until New Year’s for the Russian Orthodox Christmas — which requires a completely different look.

For most it will spell the end of another year of photo shoots, performances and readings of “The Night Before Christmas.”

“Dec. 25, it’s a little bit of a letdown, because you’ve been going and going, and you’ve been getting all of this positive energy, and then it’s over,” Cawthra said. “I’m back to being just me. It takes a little while to readjust. It’s very rewarding, and the reward isn’t all money, either. It’s all of the emotions you get from people — and the smiles.”

can help reduce holiday stress PAM PECCOLO SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

W

ith the rush of friend and family gatherings, holiday parties, event rehearsals and present purchasing, downtime is rare and stress seems to increase at the end of the year. So, it’s helpful to have strategies to stay healthy and happy.

“During the holidays, especially, people are stressed out and it takes a toll,” said Brooke Jones, Vice President of the Denverbased Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. “But science tells us kindness lowers cortisol, so volunteering can help. It may take a little work to fit volunteering into your holiday schedule, but it can produce a ‘helper’s high’ that can last for days.”

Science also indicates if you do an act of kindness in public, people witnessing it produce oxytocin, also known as the “love hormone,” which aids in lowering blood pressure and improving overall heart-health.

“Everything in moderation is a good way to approach the holidays, and every day,” said Gabriel Guillaume, president and CEO of LiveWell Colorado, a nonprofit focused on increasing access to healthy eating and active living in low-income communities.

“What we put in our bodies can affect how we feel,” he said.

“Around the holidays, we eat a lot more foods higher in fat and sugar, and drink more alcohol.

The trick is to be aware and extra vigilant.”

“For instance, I go to a large family gathering of about 30 people and 40,000 calories of food on the table.

One thing I do is eat some healthy food ahead of time, like carrots or other vegetables.”

Exercise, such as yoga, can reduce stress and increase mindfulness, according to Aliza Sodos, owner of The Littleton Yoga Center in Littleton and iThrive Yoga in Parker.

“During the holidays, we need a

“Restorative yoga is a style that is about re-

laxation and release. You hold poses that let you be quiet and help rebalance the body. We live in an adrenalinerushed world, so slowing down can remind us of our wholeness,” Sodos added.

To reduce stress during the holidays, here are some additional kindness

ideas from the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation: • Wheel out your neighbor’s trash bin • Be polite while driving • Write positivity sticky notes to brighten someone’s day • Send an encouraging email to a friend • Donate used towels or sheets to a shelter • Make handmade cards • Praise a local business online • Write a handwritten letter • Record a happy voicemail message for a loved one When you need to decompress this holiday season, remember to be kind, eat well, exercise, slow down and relax.

W

hy is it that instead of enjoying precious time spent with family & friends during the holiday season, unwelcome guests - stress and pain - tend to RSVP “yes”, even though their invite was purposefully lost in the mail?

Cousin Cheryl is insisting on bringing her own food, you’re pulling teeth to get a commitment from Paul’s family on whether they are coming for Thanksgiving, Christmas, both, or neither, and you’ve been diligently searching how to diffuse the political disaster that will happen when Joe and Laura are sitting at the same dinner table - again. No wonder you might be feeling the holiday stress. If you are noticing more back or joint pain, it’s not a coincidence either.

Stress, of any type, encourages us to move less, succumb to cravings, gain weight, and have interrupted sleep. This unfortunate cyclic pattern can turn into back or joint pain, depression, and anxiety topped off with frustration & helplessness. Quick fixes, including pills, will not help the root cause of this catastrophe.

We recently helped a 50+ year old mother with 6 month old back & hip pain who lost a family member unexpectedly a year ago. Whereas other professionals saw her pain as an opportunity to prescribe pills for pain and depression and told her to give it the old “wait & rest & see”, we saw her much differently.

While we understood how to fix her pain without these “band-aids”,

our time spent together un-raveled much more than just joint pain.

Today, she is back to enjoying life as a designer, ramping up for the holiday’s work she loves and adores without pain pills, and back to a life she deserves especially in time for the holiday season to arrive!

These are some of the tips we gave her to help and you can use too: Think “Motion is Lotion” - It’s likely you’ll find the “snuggled up on couch” technique more comfortable than the “get up and get moving” idea. Find every excuse in your bones to get moving.

Literally. Your joints will love you for doing it!

Give Gratitude - Not just on Thanksgiving or on a holiday, but everyday. Find 3 things each morning and evening you are grateful for. Make this a habit and you’ll find more happiness.

Firestone recommends shopping online, where the added temptation is at a minimum.

“People know themselves. If you know that you aren’t disciplined in a store, shop from home. The worst thing you can do is go to the mall and have no idea what the heck you’re getting anybody,” said Firestone. “Shop online, and shop with a plan.”

TABATHA STEWART SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

iz Orbis, a Westminster mother of two, begins budgeting for holiday gifts and expenses around October each year. She carefully chooses what toys and presents to buy her sons, but, she said, each year, no matter how carefully she plans, she still ends up spending more than she planned.

“No matter how I try, I always find myself with a credit card bill in January,” said Orbis. “It’s frustrating, because each year I think I’ve got it right.”

According to marketwatch.com, the average American racks up nearly $1,000 in credit card debt during the holidays, which may feel good at the time buying gifts for loved ones, but can take months to pay off and adds to holiday stress.

Nelisha Firestone, a financial advisor partner with Prosperion Financial Advisors in Greenwood Village, said planning for the holiday season all year long is the best way to avoid overspending during the holidays.

“There’s nothing worse than overspending at the holidays, then taking the first two months of the new year to dig out of the hole,” said Firestone.

“Set up a separate holiday account and add to it monthly. Then you don’t freak out and you won’t short-change your holidays.”

For those who don’t have the holiday budget they had hoped for should avoid impulsively buying gifts with credit cards, and offers these tips for maximizing your holiday budget this year.

“Don’t underestimate gifts of the heart,” said Firestone. “To grandma’s, gifts from the heart mean the most.”

Framed pictures, music playlists and dinner with your loved one are relatively inexpensive gifts and can be more meaningful than purchased gifts.

“Tap into your talents and share that with your family. You will give a gift that means a lot and save money at the same time,” said Firestone.

Families vary in sizes and traditions, and it can be hard to know what to budget. Firestone recommends looking at the budget for each person,

rather than as a whole, and spend accordingly.

“You don’t have to spend the same amount on everybody,” said Firestone.

“With smaller kids you can get away with spending less.”

One strategy that has become popular is to use a credit card that rewards points for holiday shopping, with the intention being to pay it off in January and receive cash back or other rewards. According to Firestone, that can lead to overspending.

“If you know you’re going to overspend because you’re using a card, don’t use the card. It’s not worth the points,” said Firestone. “Cash is king, just use cash that you have so you

Unique

stuffer ideas for your holiday

PAM PECCOLO SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

F

inding small, unique stocking stuffers can sometimes be a challenge, so we’ve provided some suggestions to surprise your friends and loved ones.

“Astronaut Ice Cream is one of our most popular items for kids, tweens and lots of adults,” said Lindsey Lee, sales associate at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. “The freeze-dried food comes in Neapolitan and vanilla and is always popular around the holidays,” she explained.

“Then there’s Thinking Putty, another very popular product,” Lee said of the soft, bouncy, stretchy goo. “We have lots of choices. Some is sparkly, some changes color and some glows in the dark. It can have therapeutic uses and for people who fidget, it can help them focus.”

For the Grandpa or teen who believes socks are also a fashion statement, the Museum offers a variety in stylish themes from space doughnuts, spaceships, dinosaurs and nature to Einstein and Tesla

character socks, in adult to baby size.

If you’re looking for gifts in a rustic chic setting, The Emporium is a 10,000-square-foot “merchant mall” in Castle Rock that is home to 50 charming boutiques full of home furnishings, fashion, art and antiques.

“When people come in, we try to provide a happy atmosphere to shop and get lost in,” said Elizabeth Villwock, manager of The Emporium and daughter of the owner.

Walk along the hardwood floors to the back of the building and you’ll find the “Big Ass Brick of Soap” collection, perfect for the Dad in your life. Roughly the size of a building brick and weighing more than half a pound, these hefty soaps are available in fragrances such as Smells Like Victory, Campfire, The Frontier, and Leaf and Leather. A portion of the proceeds directly support veteran causes.

For Mom’s stocking, The Emporium has colorful spatulas, sparkly tree decorations and fancy wine bottle corks topped with shiny, festive snowflakes.

SHUTTER STOCK IMAGE

For the Foodie in your life, a gift card for alcohol-infused doughnuts and monster cinnamon rolls from Habit Doughnut Dispensary in Denver, could be the food experience she or he has been waiting for.

According to Hayley Charles, Habit’s manager, the shop’s signature confections are the most popular. “The ‘Feed My Habit’ doughnut

is one of our best sellers,” Charles said. “It’s a house-made brioche dough with raspberry glaze, white chocolate streusel and blueberries.”

“We can also infuse alcohol in any of the doughnuts,” Charles added.

“Because Habit is paired with Carbon Coffee & Bar, we can add any alcohol you’d like to the doughnuts– Kahlua, Baileys, whiskey, tequila or anything else.”

For something a little more aromatic, check out the Festive Cup Coffee and Gift Boutique in Highlands Ranch.

“If you’re looking for something special for Grandma, we have shower steamers that smell garden fresh,” said Dawn Whitham, manager and owner. “You place the steamer on the floor of the shower or hang a sachet on the shower faucet.

When moisture hits the steamer, the fragrance is released. Our fragrances range from citrus and lavender to lemongrass, eucalyptus and orange.

They pair nicely with our Shea butter French soaps that are gardenia, lemon, sage, spiced rum and cucumber scented.”

When Colorado PAM PECCOLO SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

othing embodies the holiday season like the joy of giving. We love to see people light up when they receive a gift, especially when it touches their hearts and lives.

On Tuesday, December 4, Coloradans will join together for Colorado Gives Day, an annual drive to celebrate and increase philanthropy statewide through online giving to a wide range of nonprofits. For the seventh year, Community First Foundation and FirstBank are partnering to present the generous giving day.

In addition, Community First Foundation and FirstBank have created the $1 Million Incentive Fund, one of the largest giving-day incentive funds in the country. It will increase the value of every donation proportionally.

“Non profits provide a wide variety of programs and services that are es-

sential to the quality of life we enjoy here in Colorado,” said Renny Fagan, President and CEO of Colorado Nonprofit Association. “Colorado Gives Day is a convenient opportunity for people to donate to the non profits they support and to discover other non profits doing great work. Our communities are only strong if each of us contributes in our own way. We encourage everyone to join this statewide movement and make a donation on December 4.”

Michele Ostrander, president and CEO of the nonprofit Freedom Service Dogs of America, believes Colorado Gives Day has become a vital and highly successful component of their fundraising mix.

“When we first joined Colorado Gives Day in 2013, we had no idea what to expect in the way of donations,” said Ostrander. “That year, we raised just over $10,000. Since then, donations on Colorado Gives Day have increased substantially each year, with an amazing $118,000 raised in 2017!”

That money goes a long way toward funding the training Freedom Service Dogs needs to support their

11

, we all win clients.

“It takes seven to 10 months and approximately $30,000 to house, feed, care for, and train one dog as a service dog for a veteran with PTSD, a child with autism, or another adult with disabilities,” Ostrander stated.

“Receiving that much funding on a single day allows us to provide four custom-trained, life-changing service dogs to clients that urgently need them.”

“We love you, Colorado Gives Day!” she added.

Karen Fox Elwell, President and CEO of Growing Home, Inc., finds the donations on Colorado Gives Day are essential to her organization’s work to break the cycle of poverty by strengthening families, nurturing children, and creating community.

“Colorado Gives Day mobilizes our friends to act on our behalf,” said Elwell. “Last year we raised over $20,000 on Colorado Gives Day–an important 10 percent of our overall individual giving. The partial match bolsters these donations, raising more money than if these donations were made on any other day.”

At mpowered, a nonprofit that

helps Coloradans learn about money management, Development Manager Alison Adsit sees Colorado Gives Day as a time her team becomes more involved in reaching out to new donors.

“We love Colorado Gives Day because it allows our staff and board to become fundraisers by creating their own Colorado Gives fundraising page. This creates some good friendly competition amongst our team for all of the right reasons, like connecting new people to our mission,” said Adsit.

But there’s another reason to get involved. “We get to be creative and have fun with it. This year, one of our staff members may or may not be getting a pie in the face if we reach our goal on Colorado Gives Day... stay tuned!”

To support non profits on Colorado Gives Day, donors can search for local charities and make a donation on the ColoradoGives.org website. Share the spirit of the season on December 4!

ARAPAHOE FROM PAGE 13

Both Arapahoe Road and Dayton Street reopened as of about 1 p.m.

Arapahoe Road was closed in both directions, westbound at South Havana Street and eastbound at South Clinton Street, the sheriff ’s office said on Twitter. Greenwood Village police officers arrived on scene to assist deputies, but they did not fire any shots, Brooks said.

John Munoz works at a business near where the shooting occurred.

“We all heard the gunshots,” he said.

“Next thing I hear is my boss saying ‘they’re shooting.’ And then, I just hear ‘pop, pop, pop ...”

Jesse Kolbe is a manager at Big O Tires on Potomac Street, where the reported domestic disturbance began. Kolbe said employees were in the shop’s parking lot changing the tire on a vehicle belonging to a man and a woman when a third man came “screaming out of nowhere.”

Macy’s began introducing the scanand-pay system in its stores earlier this year, but the technology has just recently made its way to the Park Meadows location.

“We anticipate customers really enjoy the liberty of not having to stand in lines if they don’t want to,” Deinla said. “It’s a lot of quicker service, streamlined service, so that the experience is better and there’s less waiting time.”

Another retailer preparing for the holidays is the new Amazon 4-star store, a brick-and-mortar Amazon outlet that curates a selection of the toprated trending items on the website.

The store opened in early November.

“We designed this store for customers to discover products and have fun,” said Cameron Janes, vice president of Amazon 4-star. “Here, we make it really easy to discover something for yourself or for gifts.”

Park Meadows is gearing up for the holidays by decking out the mall inside and out. The light display on the outside will be offered in 3-D. A

Santa display will be set up near the Dillard’s outlet, featuring snowmen, reindeer, custom costumes and interactive elements for kids. This year will debut 6-foot glitter ornaments hanging from a ceiling of the Center Court, complementing the “America the Beautiful” mural. The mall will also offer complimentary gift wrap.

“We plan all year long and then take 10 to 12 nights to install over $1 million of decor,” Kelly said.

Park Meadows works with the Lone Tree Public Works department and the Colorado Department of Transportation to develop a holiday traffic plan for the mall, from light signal synchronization to maximizing parking spaces for customers. Most mall employees will park across the street during the holidays for customers to have more access to parking, and there is a six-person golf cart shuttle for people who need help traversing the parking lot.

“Mostly that traffic plan is really focused on ‘How do you get the best customer experience?’” Kelly said. “Park Meadows is committed to providing a one-of-a-kind holiday experience that is truly memorable and enjoyable while also supporting our Colorado businesses.”

BATTALION FROM PAGE 12

According to the U.S. Army Reserve, Spartan Shield and the soldiers that support it, play a role both in deterring regional aggression and reacting to possible threats within the Middle East. The 98th is a crucial part to this mission in keeping the communication channels open between U.S. and coalition partners.

“Deployments are an honor,” said Brig. Gen. Dion Moten at a deployment ceremony held Nov. 4 at Origin Hotel in Golden. “It is an honor to our confidence in them and to their preparations medically, physically and tactically.”

At the deployment ceremony, Lt. Gov Donna Lynne talked about the 17 uninterrupted years the U.S. Armed Forces has been deploying to combat missions.

“This burden born by you and your fellow service members is one that we cannot acknowledge enough,” said Lynne, the daughter of two Navy veterans. “We know the work

at their shop asked him to. Shortly after deputies arrived, the second man came into the shop and said the other man had a gun, Kolbe said.

Deputies drew their weapons and were approaching the first man when he got in his vehicle and left, Kolbe said.

“It happened pretty quick,” he said.

Garth Wilson works at Bailey’s Moving and Storage near Arapahoe Road and South Peoria Street in Centennial. He was making a delivery in his truck and drove into the right-hand lane at Arapahoe Road and Dayton Street when he heard sirens and saw a white car run into a law enforcement vehicle, he said.

Another law enforcement car then hit the white car, he added.

“Quite a few (deputies) jumped out with guns drawn,” said Wilson, a 54-year-old from Lakewood.

Wilson dove down in his truck, about a lane’s width away from the white car the suspect was in, he said.

After the incident, he thought of “how life can change in just a split second,” Wilson said. “Appreciate what you’ve got.”

USO Denver provides support for soldiers and families. To get involved, email USODenver@USO.org or visit Denver.USO. org. that you are doing is trying to make us stay safe in our country but also around the world.”

Lt. Col. Joseph Miller, commander of the 98th, said that while the unit is deployed, the most important thing the community can do is support the soldiers and their families.

The support that family members give deploying soldiers is something Moten acknowledged at the ceremony — which was standing room only with civilian attendees.

“It means a lot to us standing here in uniform to know that we have you behind us,“ Moten told families in attendance. “We couldn’t do what we do without you.”

Enjoy a Thanksgiving weekend feast of music

T

hanksgiving weekend is one of the busiest times of year in the metro area. Families and friends are in town and everyone is looking for something fun to officially kick off the holiday season.

There are all kinds of lighting ceremonies, parades and shopping opportunities at malls and markets to get you in the spirit. But if you’re looking for something with a little more arts or local flavor, I rounded up five activities to give you a sense of how much Denver and the surrounds have to offer this time of year.

A new kind of ‘Christmas Carol’ at Miners Alley So much of the holidays are about traditions, and stagings of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” is one tradition that seems to go back as far as the holiday itself.

Golden’s Miners Alley Playhouse has added a decidedly un-traditional spin to the proceedings by presenting the theater’s own Josh Hartwell’s adaptation.

Directed by Len Matheo, Miners Alley, 1224 Washington Ave., will host “A Christmas Carol” from Nov. 23 through Dec. 23. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 1 and 6 p.m. on Sundays.

Hartwell’s adaptation relies on only six actors to bring Scrooge, Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit to life. The actors use nothing more than simple props,

COMING ATTRACTIONS

fun physicality and the power of imagination to convey this timeless story of redemption.

For tickets and information, call 303-935-3044 or visit www.minersalley. com.

Tennis at Central Presbyterian Church Clarke Reader One of the most astounding aspects of a large church or cathedral is its acoustics. Organs, choirs and other religious music sound amazing in these spaces. Even a more secular performance sounds fantastic there as well.

One of Denver’s most historic locations, Central Presbyterian Church, 1660 Sherman St., will host two of the best Denver-based performers, Tennis and Esme Patterson, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23.

Patterson, a former member of indie band Paper Bird, beautifully blends jazz and folk in her solo albums.

Tennis — a band with the husbandwife duo of Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley — has been slowly building up a following since 2010, when it released its debut album, “Cape Dory.”

The group had a great 2017 with the release of their fourth album, “Yours, Conditionally,” as well as an EP called “We Can Die Happy.”

What makes this show special — aside from the location — is Moore and Riley will be performing simply

as a two-piece. The two reimagined their songs for a more intimate setting, closer to the way they are written and demoed.

Tickets can be purchased at www. eventbrite.com.

Movie at the Cinema concert “Home Alone” has become a movie that countless people watch at this time of year. One of the film’s secret weapons is John Williams’ score which, along with some favorite Christmas songs, puts the movie’s soundtrack in constant rotation as the holiday draws near.

To experience the full effect of the music and the movie working as one, the Colorado Symphony Orchestra’s Movie at the Cinema series will feature “Home Alone” at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, at Boettcher Concert Hall, 1000 14th St. in Denver.

The series features the orchestra playing the film’s score live as the movie is shown — truly a unique experience.

For tickets, visit www.coloradosymphony.org.

Celebrate Hi-Dive’s longevity The Hi-Dive is one of Denver’s best bars — the kind of place to see fun, local bands of all genres and backgrounds. On any given night, there might be a metal or punk group you can hear on the street, a blues tribute featuring covers of some of Americana’s best tunes, or a Colorado Public Radio-sponsored folk singer.

When it seems as if certain parts of the city are becoming more corporate, it’s important to celebrate the

places that give Denver that extra jolt of energy. To that end, the Hi-Dive, 7 S. Broadway, is hosting a two-night 15th birthday party, at 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 23, and Saturday, Nov. 24.

Each night will feature a surprise special musical guest. Tickets and more information can be found at www.hi-dive.com.

Elvis Costello and The Imposters at the Fillmore A lesson learned over the past five years: Appreciate the performers while we have them. We’ve lost too many legends, from Aretha Franklin and David Bowie to Prince and Gregg Allman, to take anyone for granted.

For a while, it looked like we might lose Elvis Costello to cancer but, thankfully, one of our sharpest songwriters is still among us and performing. He’ll be stopping by the Fillmore Auditorium, 1510 N. Clarkson St., Denver, at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 25.

At the beginning of October, Costello and his band, The Imposters, released one of their best albums in ages with “Look Now.” The album is literate and dense, and while he may not be as angry as he was when he first appeared on the scene, he’s lost none of his bite.

My favorite Costello songs are almost always the slow ones, and there are some stunners on this one.

Don’t miss the chance to see a classic rock icon still doing his thing. Get tickets at www.livenation.com.

New esports arena set to open up in Lakewood The arena will be the largest of its kind in the state

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT LOCALHOST WHERE: 1882 S. Wadsworth Blvd.

WHEN: The esports arena is expected to open by the end of the year, according to Nate Jones, vice president of technology for N3rd Street Gamers.

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The esports, or competitive video gaming industry is starting to blow up all across the world. Celebrities like Drake and Michael Jordan have invested in the industry, and even owners of professional sport franchises like Robert Kraft and the Kroenkes have invested millions in esports. According to a Newzoo Global Esports Market Report, the esports industry has a value of more than $900 million, and Lakewood will soon be home to the largest esports arena in Colorado.

“It’s a huge, huge market, and it’s growing like crazy. Hearing these stars and big names invest in it is confirmation that it’s only going to be growing further,” said Nate Jones, vice president of technology for N3rd Street Gamers.

N3rd Street Gamers, a Philadelphia esports network, is set to open up the Localhost esports arena toward the end of the year. The arena, located at 1882 S. Wadsworth Blvd., is 18,000 square feet, and it will offer 120 custom-built gaming PCs,

CONTACT: Localhost Arena can be reached on Twitter at @localhostdenver, or on its Facebook page, Localhost Denver.

The outside of Localhost Arena. While still under construction, the arena is set to open toward the end of the month, or the beginning of December.

COURTESY OF N3RD STREET GAMERS and video game consoles like Xbox Ones, PlayStation 4s and Nintendo Switches. Localhost will contain a 60-foot stage that will be used for events and tournaments, along with a full-service bar.

“Denver is close to my heart as a place I have traveled to annually for decades,” said John Fazio, founder and CEO of N3rd Street Gamers.

“More importantly, it is a strategic location that provides access to one

of the country’s strongest and oldest gaming communities.”

Jones described Colorado’s esports scene as passionate, large and active. Some universities even have esports clubs like the University of Northern Colorado. The school competes in video games like League of Legends, Overwatch, Counter Strike and Rocket League with a focus on becoming the best gamers in the country.

N3rd Street Gamers envisions Localhost as being more than a destination for competitive video gamers. It will have table top games and digital and trading card games to cater to other crowds.

Gamers can use the arena for a fee of $3 an hour, with $20 day passes also being available. Localhost will offer most major video game titles including Madden, FIFA, Call of Duty, World of Warcraft and more.

Ryan Barr, the chief experience officer for N3rd Street Gamers, said Localhost Arena will attract events and tournaments from out of state organizers.

“This is something we’ve been working on for a while. Whether you’re a casual gamer, or hardcore, we’ll be able to serve all of those communities,” Jones said.

Junior’s low scores are par for course Highlands Ranch’s Tarek Salem is south metro area boys golfer of year

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Junior Tarek Salem of Highlands Ranch is looking forward to the 2019 fall boys golf season.

Salem is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Golfer of the Year after completing an excellent 2018 season.

He was sixth in the 5A state tournament held on Oct. 2 at the Colorado Springs Country Club.

He finished with a 6-over-par total of 148 for 36 holes after rounds of 73 and 75. He tied for second place in the Western regional qualifying tournament with a 1-over-par 73 at Redlands Mesa Golf Club in Grand Junction.

Salem was the Player of the Year in the Continental League and was the medalist during league tournaments at Meadow Hills and Lone Tree.

“I’m really excited for next year after this year,” said Salem “I really enjoyed the season. It went by quickly, which was too bad. I’m going to be practicing in the off season, getting ready. It’s 10 months away but practice is really what helps.

“I try to play every day but before I go play I allocate maybe an hour to chipping, 30 minutes of putting and 15 minutes of hitting balls. It seems like a simple game hitting a small ball into a hole but it’s a hard game.”

Simple or hard, golf requires repetition to develop into a top-flight player.

The 6-foot-3 Arapahoe senior finished third in the Class 5A state tournament at the Gates Tennis Center in the No. 1 singles draw, and coach Peter Weyhrich wasn’t talking about Landen’s height when talking about his development

this season.

“As his record shows, he had a fantastic senior season,” said Weyhrich. “More than anything for him, he developed into a tremendous leader on the team.

That was a big difference this year.

“He could do a little bit of everything. He likes to come to the net a lot in singles.

Not all players do that these days.”

Landen has been named the 2018 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Tennis Player of the Year.

hanksgiving is a time to talk about turkey and offer thanks for loved ones. It’s a wonderful holiday and chance to forget differences Many people reflect and offer thanks for health, wealth and hapOVERTIME piness, but many times it’s those little things that are taken for granted that we should be thankful for — for instance, hugs and friends that are like family.

There are myriJim Benton ad little things in sports to be grateful for and probably many individuals/actions that also deserve thanks.

Here are just a few: • Upsets: Seems like most people root for underdogs, and to see that team or individual surprise a highly regarded opponent is enjoyable — unless you are a fan of the favorite.

• Rallies: Seeing a team come from behind to win is fulfilling.

• Last-second victories: Nothing is better than a close, competitive game that comes down to the waning seconds.

• Teamwork: I once heard and agree that teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to produce uncommon results, which translates from athletics to life.

• Taking concussions seriously: Finally coaches are not asking a player how many fingers he or she sees and then sending them back into the game after saying “he had his bell rung.”

• Following directions: Players who listen and do as told will be ahead of the games presented by life.

• Decision-making: Making those quick decisions during a game or match or those choices that have to be made with a little reasoning can also be a help later in life.

• Self-confidence: Another attribute that is needed to be successful in athletics that will also help in real life.

• Learning from mistakes: Admitting a mistake and learning from it so that the same mistake can be avoided in the future.

SALEM FROM PAGE 41

“Since the beginning of last summer I probably played golf or practiced every single day,” related Salem. “That had a drastic impact on my performance this season. I really tried to focus on my short game which was really beneficial because that’s where you save shots. You can get up to a par 5 in two but if you can’t get up and down. Also in the

Sticking with gymnastics In hindsight, Amber Boll is probably thankful for her decision to stick with gymnastics.

The senior at Lakewood High School was the individual champion in five events at the 5A State Gymnastics Meet held Nov. 1-3.

“I mainly started gymnastics because I was really clumsy as a baby,” recalled Boll. “My parents took me in to get me more in touch with my body and all that stuff. I am still clumsy.

fall, I tried to play or practice every single day.”

Salem was the leader of a Falcons team that was seventh in the state tournament and shot seven shots better in the second round to finish at 465.

The team was third at the regionals.

“I played well the whole high school season,” said Salem. “Highlands Ranch as a team, we did pretty well. We were second in the league and had a few tournament wins and I had a couple tournament wins myself. We all played well. It’s not just an individual sport, it’s a team sport.”

“When I was little I actually started swimming and I had to choose between gymnastics and swimming and I chose gymnastics.”

Boll won the all-around (39.125) title and then came back to capture individual championships on the balance beam (9.600), floor exercise (9.850), uneven bars (9.850) and vault (10.000).

Yes, she had a perfect 10 on the vault which was the first 10 at the state meet in 30 years since Broomfield Carol Ulrich won the floor exercise with a 10 in 1988.

“I had a lot of time to reflect after it happened and I was getting a lot of attention,” said Boll. “It really made me think about what I actu-

A four-year qualifier for the state tournament, Landen was 13-3 in the fall high school season, made the All-Centennial League team and won the Region 2 tournament with a victory over Chase Walters of Heritage.

He recorded straight set wins in the first round and quarterfinals of the 5A state tournament but lost to eventual state champion Christian

ally did and how sensational it was.

Whenever I’m doing an event, I think about how I can be the best that I can be. I don’t focus on the score, I just focus on the technique and that really helps.

“I was thrilled with the 10. I got one last year at the regionals. I was trying to repeat that and had to stay really focused. On Thursday I got a 9.9 in the all-around (vault) so I knew that I could get a 10.”

Boll, whose father was a Marine, is planning to follow his lead into the military.

“I’m planning on attending the Air Force Academy,” she said. “Right now I have a verbal commitment to

He then beat Cameron Weckerly of Grand Junction, 6-3, 6-3 in the playbacks and avenged an early season loss to George Cavo of Cherry Creek to capture third place with a 6-3, 6-3 win.

“I think I played pretty well this season,” said Landen. “Since I lost to Cavo in three sets in the regular season, I had a different mindset.

I knew what I was going to do and came out and executed pretty well.

I knew I could beat him if I put my mind to it, which I did.”

November 19, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance.

Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears.

An old friend brings good news.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other and potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.
