Sanders’ success concerns some Dems Members of Congress worry that blue gains could see setback

single, “The Last Goodbye,” and its accompanying video, which is the first taste of the final piece of “A Gypsy Journey” trilogy, entitled “Samahdi.” He also kicked off a year full of touring with a performance at Swallow Hill’s Daniels Hall on Jan. 24.

We spoke to the 39-year-old musician — who has called southeast Denver home since 2015 — about completing his trilogy of EPs, his musical journey and the Denver scene. The interview has been edited for clarity and brevity.

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ robust start in the race for the presidential nomination is triggering alarm among congressional Democrats, with many warning that a ticket headed by the self-declared socialist could be devastating to the party’s chances of winning the Senate and holding the House in November.

In anxious huddles around the Capitol, apprehensive Democrats are sharing their worries that Sanders’ socialist label and unyielding embrace of controversial proposals like “Medicare for All” and the Green New Deal will repel voters in the affluent, moderate districts that flipped House control in 2018 and in closely divided states where Republican senators are vulnerable.

The Vermont independent narrowly won New Hampshire on Feb. 11 on the heels of a strong showing in Iowa and is widely seen as a front-runner, along with former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

“I’m a proud capitalist,” said freshman Rep. Ben McAdams, D-Utah, in pointed contrast with Sanders.

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The traveling, rootless life of gypsies doesn’t appeal to everybody, but for guitarist Javier Gutierrez, better

known as El Javi, embracing life on the road led not only to self-discovery but confirmed that making music is his purest form of expression.

“In 2011 I was living in Los Angeles and I decided to put everything in storage and traveled Europe and Mexico, as a way to prove to myself if my music is something audiences would like,” El Javi said. “I was just traveling with my guitar and playing. It’s the way I express myself, and when I don’t play it drives me crazy.”

Colorado lawmakers inch forward on transportation deal How to pay for projects is wild card, with big political risks

BY JOHN FRANK THE COLORADO SUN

Behind the scenes at the Capitol, in private meetings and hushed conversations, Colorado lawmakers are talking about how to find a legislative unicorn: a bipartisan deal to find more money for transportation.

The negotiations started an impasse, only adding to the frustration felt by the advocates behind three failed prior election campaigns, but began slowly as both parties recognize it remains a top concern with voters.

Democratic House Speaker KC Becker, a lead negotiator, said the new talks are progressing and she’s “encouraged by the initial willingness to put together sort of a bipartisan package.” But she acknowledges the deal is far from reality — and the political risks are significant.

“All things are on the table right now, but what I think realistically can get done is probably of a much more limited nature,” the Boulder lawmaker said in an interview.

The conversation became a little

THE COLORADO SUN The Colorado Sun is a reader-supported, nonpartisan news organization dedicated to covering Colorado issues. To learn more, go to ColoradoSun.com. more tense in the week of Feb. 11 as a conservative political group began an aggressive campaign to push back on one of the ideas at the center of the debate: an increase in the state’s 22-cent gasoline tax.

Americans for Prosperity’s Colorado chapter is airing 15-second commercials on screens at gas pumps in the Denver area that urge people to tell lawmakers that “Colorado families can’t afford to pay more at the pump.”

The advocacy effort also includes mailers targeting key lawmakers, online ads and radio commercials.

It was first reported Feb. 11 in The Unaffiliated, the twice-weekly political newsletter from The Colorado Sun. The five-figure initial cost for the campaign is modest, but the effort serves as a warning shot to the negotiators at the state Capitol and the group’s spending could increase.

“People need to voice their opinions now on this if they really want to impact such an important issue down at the Capitol,” said Jesse Mallory, the organization’s state director.

AFP — which is backed by billionaire Charles Koch — fought against prior efforts to increase taxes to generate money for transportation. The group argues that Colorado lawmakers are spending too much money and should prioritize road construction above other needs.

The advertising suggests that lawmakers want to repeal the Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights and eliminate the requirement that voters approve tax hikes, but the effort to revamp TABOR is actually coming from liberal organizations outside the building.

Becker, who is one of the lawmakers targeted by the mailers, confirmed that new taxes or fees are part of the current discussion about a transportation spending bill. The main revenue source for road projects is the gasoline tax, but it has remained stagnant for nearly three decades and is a diminishing source of revenue.

“There’s some level of agreement that there has to be some new source of revenue,” she said. “Exactly what that is going to be is still in the works.”

In addition to the gasoline tax, lawmakers are also discussing additional fees on electric vehicles based and ride-sharing, as well as earmarking existing tax dollars for roads and transit needs.

The politics of a tax or fee hike are

unpredictable. Sen. Chris Holbert, the Republican leader, doesn’t support an increase in the gasoline tax and would rather see at least $300 million in existing revenue put toward road construction. But he has acknowledged there could be an appetite.

“There are Republicans, there are conservatives, who have the perspective that if you’re going to ask me for money, ask me for it the right way. And the gas tax pays for transportation,” the Parker lawmaker said.

Still, Holbert said Democratic efforts to increase fees or taxes would backfire and result in big GOP wins in the November election. Becker said she agrees that there is a political risk, but she clarified later: “I don’t think it means we should back away from trying to do something.”

One other transportation funding model proposed this year is House Bill 1151 to allow local governments to create regional districts to raise money for their specific projects.

But it also faces political opposition — in this case from Gov. Jared Polis.

At a recent event, he said lawmakers should not create a solution “that only works for urban Colorado and suburban Colorado.”

“That’s not the best way for the state from a business perspective,” Polis added, saying it limits interconnectivity.

Council votes to end ban on pit bulls Several residents opposing repeal point to situation in city’s Montbello neighborhood

BY ESTEBAN L. HERNANDEZ DENVERITE.COM

The Denver City Council on Feb. 10 effectively ended the city’s longstanding pit bull ban after approving major revisions to the law by giving pit bull owners a chance to register their dogs to lawfully own them in the city.

The final vote was 7-4 in favor of the bill. Councilmembers Kendra Black, Jolon Clark, Chris Herndon, Chris Hinds, Robin Kniech, Amanda Sandoval and Jamie Torres voted in favor. Councilmembers Kevin Flynn, Paul Kashmann, Debbie Ortega and Amanda Sawyer voted no.

Councilwoman Stacie Gillmore, who voted no on the bill during its first reading last week, was absent on Feb. 10. Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca was also absent.

Herndon introduced the proposal in January, billing it as a “compromise.”

The change leaves the 1989 ban in place but effectively ends it by letting the dogs be kept after owners get a breed-restricted license for these types of dogs.

He said his bill was data-driven and

ening.”

The law creates a breed-restricted license for the three types of breeds that fall under the informal pit bull description. Denver’s law defines pit bulls as an American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier and Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

Under the law, owners would be required to register their dogs with Denver Animal Protection annually for the first three years. The dogs will need to be spayed or neutered.

Other restrictions with the special pit bull license include limiting only two dogs per household, requiring owners to provide two emergency contacts for the dogs, an accurate description of the pit bull and proof the dog has a microchip and current rabies vaccinations.

If the dogs show good behavior after three years, they will be eligible to get a regular dog license. The city would review data from the registrations after the first two years, which could help the council make future decisions about the law.

The new rules take effect 90 days after Mayor Michael Hancock signs the bill into law. A fee for the special license has not yet been set, though Denver Animal Protection director Alice Nightengale said she estimates the fee for the license will likely cost $30 to $50.

Bill seeking to ban same-sex marriage, adoption voted down Other, bipartisan bills tackle mental health, small-business contracts

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Invoking the case of a Lakewood baker who refused to make a same-sex wedding cake and took the issue to the Supreme Court, some Republicans in the Colorado Legislature pushed bills to prevent adoption by LGBTQ couples and ban sex transition treatment for minors.

Taking up the conflict between same-sex marriage and religious liberty, one bill referenced Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips, who declined to make a custom cake for a same-sex couple in 2012 because of his religious beliefs.

The wide-ranging bill — titled the “Live and Let Live Act” — sought to prevent the state from punishing religious organizations and individuals for denying certain services to LGBTQ people. The bill would have protected actions ranging from declining to provide goods for a wedding, to making sex-based rules for employees’ or students’ clothes or access to restrooms.

“In an equal society, tolerance must be mutual,” the introduction to the bill read.

It was part of a slate of several

measures that would deny services to LGBTQ Coloradans, all of which effectively had no chance of passing in the Democrat-controlled state House and Senate. Each of those bills was defeated on a 3-6 vote, according to a news blast by House Democrats in the early morning Feb. 14. The vote took place in committee, meaning the bills did not reach a full vote on the House floor.

State House Minority Leader Patrick Neville, R-Castle Rock, and state Rep. Kim Ransom, R-Acres Green, were among the “Live and Let Live” bill’s sponsors.

A prominent LGBTQ advocacy organization dubbed the group of bills “the most aggressive slate of antiLGBTQ legislation introduced in the past decade.”

“In the first few weeks of this legislative session, we have seen attacks on transgender Coloradans, same-sex parents, LGBTQ youth and the list

goes on,” Daniel Ramos, executive director of One Colorado, said in a news release. “These bills do not represent who we are as Coloradans.”

Neville and a House GOP spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.

Meanwhile, a pair of bills pushed by local Denver metro legislators moved forward with bipartisan support. They sought to create a statewide mental health resource website and continue to help small businesses secure government contracts.

Here’s a rundown of the bills. The legislative session — the roughly four-month period in which bills are passed — kicked off Jan. 8.

Barring sex transition A bill called the “Protection of Minors from Mutilation and Sterilization Act” would have criminalized medical procedures for transgender individuals.

“A health care professional commits unlawful sex reassignment treatment of a minor if the person knowingly administers, dispenses, or prescribes a drug or hormone or orders or performs a surgical procedure for the purpose of facilitating sex reassignment of a minor,” the bill’s summary read.

Those procedures would have qualified as a class 3 felony under the bill, which results in up to 12 years in prison, a $750,000 fine or both.

House Bill 20-1114 was voted down in the State, Veterans, and Military

Affairs Committee. That body is sometimes called the “kill committee,” where the majority party often sends bills it intends to dispense with early to ensure they don’t meet a full vote of all members on the House floor.

On gay marriage, adoption Under another bill, county clerks could issue marriage licenses and certificates only if the marriage would be between one woman and one man.

That rule would be enforced “regardless of judicial decisions to the contrary,” the bill said, an apparent reference to the Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling that upheld a right to same-sex marriage.

The bill also sought to bar adoption by couples that do not consist of one man and one woman.

“Centuries of history, tradition, and morality support the fact that natural marriage is between one man and one woman,” the bill’s legislative declaration, or opening section, read.

House Bill 20-1272, or the “Colorado Natural Marriage and Adoption Act,” was also voted down in the State, Veterans, and Military Affairs Committee.

Putting resources together A bipartisan bill seeks to create a website with information and internet links to behavioral health care services in each region of the state, according to the Legislature’s site.

Reverse Mortgage Insight: Making a Reverse Mortgage A First Option in Retirement

F

or those 62 and older that are planning to stay in their home, obtaining a Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) more commonly known as a Reverse Mortgage, through a qualified reverse mortgage broker is all part of a beneficial financial planning strategy.

In many cases, seniors have done some cash flow or retirement planning with a financial planner and understand that there are certain forms of retirement income such as social security income that increase the longer you wait before drawing.

Other retirement assets have specific tax benefits for delaying draws. In either case, it makes sense to wait before dipping into these retirement assets, but on a fixed-income in retirement waiting is not always possible. This is why experts are changing the way they view a HECM and its benefits, making it a key strategy in your retirement planning.

Before you take your next step into retirement, you should speak with a HECM expert to learn more about the various ways a HECM can put you on the path to more financial freedom.

Making art out of electrical boxes Local artists add more art to Alameda Corridor

THE ARTISTS Colorado artists Christopher Wilson (Lakewood) Mackenzie Lang (Lakewood) Craig Rouse (Lakewood) Carrie MaKenna (Lakewood) Ratha Sok (Denver) Wyoming artists Carl Jensen Emily Jensen Margaret Jensen

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tom Quinn visualizes the Alameda Corridor in Lakewood being a destination for Lakewood residents and the surrounding region. He wants it to be a place where people come to ride their bikes, walk, recreate, build their local businesses and enjoy themselves.

Part of achieving that vision includes adding art to an unnamed arts and nature trail that runs from Kipling to Sheridan along Alameda.

Finished at the beginning of the month, 12 of Lakewood’s traffic electrical boxes were wrapped up with vinyl on Alameda from Depew to Garrison with art from five local artists and three artists who are based in Wyoming. The concept of the project was to decorate the boxes with naturetheme artwork.

“When you have a lot of good local artists like we do, I think it’s important to make use of their talent rather than reaching outside,” said Quinn, executive director of Alameda Connects, a nonprofit that promotes the Alameda Corridor.

Craig Rouse and Carrie MaKenna, who are married and live in Lakewood, each designed two art pieces for

More pieces from the project. The boxes can be found on Alameda from Depew to Garrison as part of an unnamed arts and nature trail that runs from Kipling to Sheridan along Alameda.

COURTESY OF TOM QUINN

Colorado fish like trout and bluegill swimming in an aquarium and a design that showcases the different ways Coloradans get around town during the summer like skateboarding, cycling and jogging — created by MaKenna.

“Anytime there’s artwork around, it brightens people’s day. It makes them look and see and think about things,”

said MaKenna. “This is the practicality (of the Alameda traffic electrical boxes), but one of the things it does is keep graffiti off of these things. It helps to keep the neighborhood clean and beautiful for the people that live there.”

With the addition of 12 pieces of art, the Alameda Corridor is now home to 29 different pieces of art, Quinn said.

The project was funded by the Alameda Corridor Business Improvement District.

“The redevelopment of that entire area of the new bike path, the new landscaping that they’ve done — I think it’s just going to enhance that experience that people will have.

Hopefully (the traffic electrical boxes) will draw more people to enjoy it, rather than drive by it,” said Rouse.

“It’s nice to be able to use the blank canvasses of these metal boxes and to supply some refreshing graphics on them that are bright and colorful.”

EL JAVI FROM PAGE 1

Tell me about the development of your music.

I’m originally from Mexico City, and moved to Denver five years ago from Los Angeles, which is where I initiated my music career. The El Javi project started in 2006 with my first album, “Gypsy Muse,” and since then I’ve worked on developing my sound.

I started as a rocker, but then discovered traditional flamenco sounds, and now I think of what I do as progressive fusion. Flamenco guitar is a part of my sound, but I also experiment with whole different styles — my new single has a folk sound, which I think is a Colorado influence — while keeping the flamenco and progressive rock elements.

What is your writing process like?

I’m very autobiographical in my writing, and regarding “A Gypsy Journey,” that is a project I’ve been developing for the last five years. The trilogy reflects my life in Denver and my development as a human being.

It’s kind of a spiritual practice, because for me writing music is a form of healing.

My music is instrumental, so the writing process takes a little longer since there’s no verse-chorus-verse framework. Instead I’m using a sonic experience to convey my story.

Why does your music have no vocals?

Since I was a teenager and started playing the guitar, I wanted that to be the main way I express myself. I want to make the guitar sing and be the main character, especially since most music is just the backing track for the vocalist. I believe music can be the message.

I also find it’s really nice in my travels because there’s no language barrier to overcome.

Tell me about making “A Gypsy Journey.”

For this last EP, I decided to release a single every couple of months, instead of waiting until the whole thing is finished for people to hear it. I worked with percussionist Jordi Marín a lot on the album — we’ve been working together for seven years, and he’s really my right-hand guy. I come in with ideas, forms and melodies, and we work together to produce the songs with others, depending on the sound we want.

We have several studios we use on the album — a home studio where we rehearse and do the initial version, we do the drums in Evergreen’s The Spot Studios and do guitar work in Los Angeles. Jordi and I are the core and we worked with pedal steel player Tony Ortega and bass player Sam Lafalce.

The first “Gypsy Journey” EP was released in 2015, the second in 2017.

Hopefully this one will be out by the end of year. We want to make sure everything on it sounds great.

Tell me about performing live and your tour?

I’ve been working on creating a really visual show — I’ve been collaborating with dancers and animators to create visuals my for live shows. The main part of the (Swallow Hill) show was to launch my new single and video, and I was able to work with Flamenco dancer Sonia Burns.

We’re heading out to Mexico to tour and in March, we’ll be going to California. Hopefully we’ll be going to Spain in the beginning of the summer. We’ll definitely be playing around Denver frequently as well.

Live shows can be the most impactful experience, and I hope audiences come away inspired. Being in the studio is a whole different monster, because there it’s all about collaborations and who can come in and build the song more. But every time we play live, it’s an interpretation, and can never be repeated.

What makes Denver’s music scene special?

Denver is almost an empty canvas — it’s not saturated like in LA. The people here are very receptive and like to hear new things. The city is in its infant stages and still finding itself, and for us musicians, that makes it a great place to be right now. As we’re growing and experimenting, so is the city.

BILL FROM PAGE 5

The website would include information about Colorado SEE ME — a state ad campaign about support for mental health conditions and substance abuse — along with the national suicide prevention hotline and demographicspecific information about behavioral care providers in each region.

State Rep. Brianna Titone, D-Arvada, is a top sponsor of House Bill 20-1113, which moved forward on Feb. 5 to the Appropriations Committee.

Small business assistance Currently, the state works with a nonprofit to help small businesses obtain government contracts at the local, state and federal levels — including small businesses owned by women, minorities and veterans.

A bill sponsored by state Rep. Tom Sullivan, a Centennial Democrat, would renew the contract for up to five years, according to the Legislature’s website. The current six-year contract between the state and the nonprofit will expire in September.

The state Legislature, under current law, does not contribute more than $200,000 to the program. The bill allows the Legislature to increase its contribution as long as the nonprofit contributes a 100% match by soliciting gifts, grants, and donations.

House Bill 20-1116 has bipartisan sponsorship and moved forward Feb. 11 to the Appropriations Committee.

VOICES

Noir films are satisfying dark blend

T

he misquote “The stuff that dreams are made of ” concludes what great 1941 noir film?

The answer and some interesting information about the film come later.

Every Sunday in the mid-1970s, a Phoenix televiQUIET sion station showed one of the fourteen DESPERATION Basil RathboneNigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes films.

I was already an avid reader of Arthur Conan Doyle’s novels and short stories and became an avid follower of the filmed versions Craig Marshall as well.

Rathbone’s SherSmith lock Holmes is the superior depiction, although I welcomed Jeremy Brett’s 41 appearances as Holmes for Granada Television between 1984 and 1994.

A weekly film theme has been a Sunday routine ever since cable and

Turner Classic Movies first provided the opportunity to record and save.

I now dedicate each month to one film genre, director, actor or actress.

Noir, silent, screwball, foreign, Hitchcock and Keaton are among them.

And when Sunday is also a snow day and I have no particular place to go, the tubular hound and I spud in front of the television and nod in agreement that there is nothing better.

Certain genres aren’t allowed: excessively violent, super hero, outer space opera, and anything that suffocates in its own special effects.

I have never watched “Gone With the Wind” and other epics, and stay away from certain performers like Jerry Lewis and Charlton Heston, with one exception.

Heston appeared in the Orson Welles’ directed “Touch of Evil,” which features one of the best-known opening sequences in film history: an uninterrupted, tracking shot lasting three minutes and twenty seconds.

I have watched some films more than once. More than twice. More than

10 times. It’s no different than seeing an old friend.

“North by Northwest” is an old friend.

“The Big Sleep” is an old friend.

“The Maltese Falcon” is an old friend.

The last line of “The Maltese Falcon,” spoken by Humphrey Bogart, is a misquote from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.”

The correct line is, “The stuff that dreams are made on,” and in the play it’s spoken by Prospero to his daughter.

When filming began in 1941, Sydney Greenstreet (Kasper Gutman) weighed 357 pounds. He was 60 years old. It was his first film role.

Mary Astor (Brigid O’Shaughnessy) was having an affair with the director (John Huston) when the film was being made.

John Huston’s father Walter is the man (Captain Jacoby) who stumbles into Sam Spade’s office with the bundle that turns out to be the fake falcon.

Walter Huston won the Academy

Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Howard in “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.”

Against his wishes, obliging his son who directed, he removed his teeth for the role.

Everyone has a favorite film or two. I have at least a hundred. Some are wellknown and some are obscure.

“Sullivan’s Travels,” “Wings of Desire,” “The Lady Vanishes,” “The 39 Steps,” and a true rarity: “Million Dollar Legs,” starring W. C. Fields, Jack Oakie, Ben Turpin, and Harpo Marx’s future wife Susan Fleming.

You wouldn’t believe me if I tried to explain the plot. It’s 59 minutes of wonderful absurdity.

Fields appeared in two of the funniest movies ever made: “The Bank Dick” and “It’s a Gift.”

If I am in any condition to choose, I want “It’s a Gift” to be my final film, before, as it were, the big sleep.

Top performers share their secrets to success

O

ne myth about top performers in any field is that they tend to keep their secrets of success to themselves.

Engaging in conversations with very successful senior executives, topperforming sales and business leaders, and high-achieving athletes, the more information I seem to gather. And WINNING not only that, I find WORDS them really open to sharing some of their very best practices.

The myth has been around for a while.

Some sort of belief that top performers in any field like to hold on to their secrets so that they Michael Norton can maintain a comfortable lead over the competitors, internal rivals, and sometimes teammates. Well that may be true for a few top performers who only care about themselves, but not for the majority.

The majority live with an abundance mentality. They also know

DENVER Since 1926

that they do not ever want to commit the sin of the desert. The sin of the desert, as told by a Bedouin shepherd, “Is knowing where there is water but refusing to tell others.”

Top performers and successful people typically like to help others.

Not so much by giving a handout, but always willing to give a hand up.

And there is a big difference between the two. Top performers and highly successful people also like to associate with or hang out with other high achievers. They will tell you that they walk away from conversations feeling more energized, inspired, and creative. They walk away from encounters motivated to try even harder while thinking of new ways to improve themselves, their business, or their game.

I have made thousands of trips over the years and have sat next to a wide variety of people. Although travel can be a bit tough sometimes, I love and enjoy the people I get to meet. I have learned so much from the people who have sat next to me. From CEOs and celebrities, to professional athletes and everyday people. Each person’s

story added something to my life and to my learning. My natural curiosity and asking appropriate questions help to facilitate a discussion around some of their best practices and secrets of success. They do not commit the sin of the desert, as they openly share where the water can be found.

Competition in every industry and at every level of sports is at an all-time high. The job market is tight and tough right now. Everyone is looking for that slight edge. Being prepared, doing research, understanding how to leverage data are all great ideas to help us understand how to position value in our company, our products, and ourselves. However, one of the very best things we can do, my own best practice and secret to success, is to meet with and talk with the top performers and high achievers in the business or in the game.

Again, maybe some people who live with a scarcity mentality may not be willing to share what they know.

Effort brings music to life for students STAFF REPORT

The annual Bringing Music to Life Instrument Drive kicks off March 2, continuing its mission to bring the gift of music to Colorado students in underfunded music programs.

This is the 10th year for the instrument drive, which has impacted the lives of 15,000 children in hundreds I of elementary, middle and high - schools in Colorado. To date, more than 5,000 instruments have been awarded with a value exceeding $2 million.

Coloradans are asked to bring their gently used band or orchestra instruments to any of 17 donation from March 2-15. Instrument donations may be tax-deductible. Drop-off locations can be found at www.bringmusic.org.

Donated instrument are then repaired by technicians at the Colorado Institute of Musical Instrument Technology and Boomer Music Company in Fort Collins, and instruments are donated to music school programs before the start of the 2020-2021 school year.

“Our band program has been able

SANDERS FROM PAGE 1

McAdams, who is supporting former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and whose Salt Lake City district will be among the toughest for Democrats to defend, said having a liberal like Sanders atop his party’s ticket “would probably give me more opportunities to show my independence” from the party.

Another freshman from a competitive district, Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-New Jersey, said Democrats need a presidential nominee who “doesn’t scare all those future former Republicans more than Trump scares them.”

And while acknowledging that Republicans plan to tar all Democrats with the socialist label, “There’s one candidate for whom that would not be a lie.”

Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nevada, who backs the candidacy of former Vice President Joe Biden, warned a group of Democratic voters this week in Carson City, Nevada, that with Sanders atop the ticket, “you’re not going to take back the Senate. There’s not any way, because everybody’s going to be tarred with the same brush. We will probably lose seats in the House.”

Private conversation cuts to chase In private conversations, other Democrats are more succinct. One House Democrat said colleagues from swing districts are scared by the prospects of a Sanders nomination, while another said moderates are increasingly concerned that a Sanders candidacy would devh astate their prospects for winning the White House and retaining the House. .The lawmakers insisted on anonymity to describe private conversations.

Democrats’ jitters have Republicans rubbing their hands in delight.

“It’s every Republican’s dream come true,” Rep. Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma, a former leader of the House GOP’s campaign committee, said of a pos-

to continuously improve due to the generosity of Bringing Music to Life,” Ouray School music teacher Michael Scott said in a news release. “We currently are able to offer band to all students in grades 5 and 6, while our high school program also continues to improve.”

At Denver’s North High School, music teacher Katy Lushman has been able to start a Modern Band program and says her students love it.

“This class has given me access to instruments that I’ve never had access to before. I really enjoy being able to play electric guitar and bass. It’s a new experience,” one of Lushman’s students said.

Another said, “It’s helped me discover my love for music and for playing.”

At Ranum Middle School in Westminster, a student’s new instrument “has helped me become more creative … It has opened a door to music.”

Bringing Music to Life was founded in 2013 by executive director Steve Blatt as a project of the Colorado Nonprofit Development Center to continue the instrument drives he had sible Sanders nomination.

Republicans face an uphill fight in capturing control of the House, which Democrats lead 232-197, with one independent and five vacancies. The GOP controls the Senate 53-47 and is favored to retain its majority.

Biden supporters are happy to use apprehension about Sanders’ impact on the party’s strength in Congress as a tool for drumming up support.

Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., who’s endorsed Biden, said if Sanders were nominated, Democrats from moderate districts “might actually have to run away from our nominee to get elected.” And he added, “It’s highly unlikely that Bernie Sanders will moderate his views, either.”

Congressional Democrats have little to gain by openly disparaging the man who could well be their presidential nominee, and they say they’re uncertain what they could do that would be effective. Any move to derail his candidacy that could be traced back to them would undoubtedly enrage Sanders and his impassioned supporters and risk the fury that split the party in 2016, when some Sanders backers never supported Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee.

Underscoring a reluctance to speak critically of Sanders, Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-Illinois, chairwoman of House Democrats’ campaign arm, sidestepped questions about how his nomination would affect her candidates’ prospects.

“We have a long way to go before we know who our nominee is,” she said.

Asked how many nervous lawmakers have expressed their worries about Sanders to her, Bustos paused for four seconds before answering, “We have discussions about the nominee but, you know, it runs the gamut.”

While many Democrats are reluctant to openly express dismay about Sanders, members of the House have spoken with their feet.

According to the website fivethirtyeight.com, Sanders has endorsements from only seven House mem-

INSTRUMENT DRIVE Dates: March 2-15 Locations: 17 donation locations available throughout the state of Colorado.

Visit www.bringmusic.org for a complete list.

Instruments Needed: Band and orchestra instruments in good condition, including strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion, guitars and electronic keyboards.

The program cannot accept upright and grand pianos or organs.

Applications for Instruments: Teachers and principals can apply online now at www.bringmusic.org. Deadline is March 31. established and managed at Colorado Public Radio.

“Study after study shows the positive impact that learning music has on children,” Blatt said in the news release. “Their listening skills improve, as well as creative thinking, self-discipline and self-esteem. Students learn the value of persevering and how to work with others toward a common goal. We’re excited about reaching even more children, schools, and combers, all members of the progressive caucus from safely Democratic districts. Biden, in contrast, has backing from 41 House members, and has made a point of touting support from seven lawmakers from swing districts. Bloomberg, who hopes to poach Biden’s position as the moderate alternative to Sanders, has racked up 11 endorsements from House lawmakers, five of whom occupy swing seats.

Progressives dispute concerns Progressives argue the fears are overblown. Republicans tried to tie Democrats to socialism and liberal causes like Medicare for All during the 2018 campaign, they note, yet Democrats won a resounding majority in the House. And they argue that nominating Sanders could change the electorate in ways that help the party.

“They don’t want somebody that sells out,” said Sanders backer Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Michigan, a member of the “squad” of young liberal freshmen.

She added, “Please don’t talk about only persuading Trumpers and independents” to be open to an alternative candidate. “How about persuading the Democrats that haven’t been engaged?”

munities this year.”

Those who don’t have an instrument to donate can help by contributing to the repair fund. Money donations go to repairing and refurbishing the instruments, ensuring that they’re in excellent condition when awarded to students.

“Instrument repairs are the single greatest expense of the program, with the average repair costing us about $155,” Blatt said in the release.

“CIOMIT is once again doing all refurbishing and reconditioning at a significant discount. Again this year, we’re pleased that Boomer Music Company is joining the effort to repair donated instruments.”

Title One schools with a majority of students receiving free or reduced cost lunches are encouraged to apply for instruments now through March 31 using the online application form.

Bringing Music to Life will match qualifying schools with donated instruments.

For more information about Bringing Music to Life, visit www.bringmusic.org.

“The single most important thing for Democrats to take back the Senate is turnout,” said Mike Lux, a liberal strategist who supports Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the presidential race. “We have to have a highly energized Democratic base turnout, a lot of young people coming out, voting not just in the presidential race but further down the ballot.”

Yet Sanders’ agenda is far from shared. Several top-tier Democratic Senate recruits, such as former astronaut Mark Kelly in Arizona, former state Sen. Cal Cunningham in North Carolina and former Gov. John Hickenlooper in Colorado, have explicitly distanced themselves from core Sanders positions like Medicare for All. Hickenlooper, the likely Democratic nominee against Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, targeted Sanders during his own brief bid for the party’s presidential nomination last year.

At a Democratic debate last summer, Hickenlooper warned that Sanders’ program would be “a disaster” at the ballot box.

“If you force Americans to make these radical changes,” Hickenlooper said, “they’re not going to go along.”

UNLIMITED Sensory- and memory-friendly events give opportunities for expression

BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

he Barros family has difficulty finding programs they all can attend.

“We try to take them to events as much as I can, but the kids at this age don’t pay attention for an hour,” Fernando Barros said.

Following a Jan. 12 sensoryfriendly program at the Lone Tree Arts Center, Barros said he was lucky to be close to the arts center for its regularly scheduled programming of shows open to kids who may need to blurt or move around during a theater show or who have sensitivities to light or sound.

The strict etiquette of theater performances or art galleries can be difficult to follow for people with disabilities or those suffering from memory loss. Throughout Denver, arts and culture venues are offering specialized programs for those who need special attention. “Arts for all” programs give families a place to enjoy the arts without worrying about being a disturbance to others.

“We want families to feel like they have a place to come and feel welcome at the theater,” said Robin Scurto, annual giving director at the Lone Tree Arts Center who oversees the arts-for-all programs. “However they enjoy they arts, they’re allowed to do that.”

A sensory safe place Sensory-friendly programming is the heart of the Lone Tree Arts Center’s “arts for all” initiative. Arts for all programs are becoming more common staples to local arts centers.

Facilities including the Butterfly Pavilion, Denver Aquarium, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Botanic Gardens offer sensory friendly hours as well.

Low-sensory programming can look different based on the facility. Lone Tree Arts Center hands out fidget objects and a quiet room for kids to cool off if needed. Arts centers in Arvada, Littleton and Parker all have some sensory friendly programming. Many partner with Phamaly Theatre Company, a Denver-based theater group made up of people with disabilities.

Darion Ramos, company production manager at Phamaly, said most low-sensory programs aims to limit surprises, flashing lights and loud noises, for the most part.

“We want to make sure everyone is welcome and

Before the show, the characters are introduced to the audience to limit surprises. The house lights are dimmed to half and the microphones are tempered to accommodate sensitive groups.

everyone is comfortable,” Ramos said. “It feels less intruding if parents take their kids to the sensory-friendly performance.”

Different shows are modified in different ways to accommodate sensitive kids. The house lights are dimmed to half, microphones and sound effects are tempered and families are allowed more space between themselves and others. No clapping is allowed. Instead, the audience is asked to applaud in American Sign Language, which looks similar to jazz hands.

Before the show, actors and any scary characters are introduced. A sensory-friendly guide will assist families in the lobby.

“Bottom line, it’s important to have that space for people so everyone can come out and enjoy theater and be comfortable,” Ramos said. “No matter what’s going on the world, theater is one of those releases … Just because you can’t sit still in your seat or have to make noises and be yourself doesn’t mean you can’ t come to the theater because other people are going to care.”

Tapping into memories Once a week the Colorado Alzheimer’s Association visits with one of 90 arts centers in the state to lead a group of Alzheimer’s patients in watercolor classes. The Memories in the Making

program gives patients the opportunity to express themselves through painting.

“It’s amazing how you see different people’s personal styles come out and the way they move the brush and the color choices they make, how far they go to the edges of the paper,” said Lisa Steffan, Memories in the Making art program coordinator. “There’s a lot of personal expression in the style in the way they work.”

The Memories in the Making program has been offered by the Colorado chapter since 1994. Each week, a group paints in watercolors based on either an image or an object. Painting helps the artists express their emotions or feelings that lead to deep memories. The most important part of the process is the interaction the artist has with one of the group facilitators. Through casual conversation, the artists tap into memories the facilitator will write on the back of each painting.

Artists can take several weeks to finish a single piece, but the end goal is not necessarily the painting. The effects of expressing oneself through painting can last for days at a time, Steffan said.

“We often talk about how it depends on using what they have. Not focusing on what they’ve lost but focusing on what they can still do in the present moment,” Steffan said. “Painting has a soothing quality to it that, once they get started on something and get into a groove, they’re not focused on somebody telling them what to do.”

At a Lone Tree Arts Center Jan. 30 SPARK! event, a partnership program between the Alzheimer’s Association and local art centers, patrons were asked to interpret what they saw in a collection of abstract-realist paintings from the late Joellyn Duesberry, a Denver painter. Some saw a horse’s face in the rocks of a cascading waterfall or dirt mounds from fox holes in a painting of piles of chili peppers in a Peruvian desert. What they saw helped unlock memories from their past.

“You don’t need to remember what you ate for breakfast to be able to look at a painting and have an opinion,” Scurto said.

Broncos plan to air it out in bid to catch up with Chiefs Denver coach may try to build offense similar to Kansas City’s attack

BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Among the things Vic Fangio wants to change in 2020 is Denver’s offensive style, the Broncos’ fortunes and his own reputation.

The designer of some of the NFL’s stingiest defenses over the last three decades wants to air it out, not grind it out, as the Broncos did last season in his first foray into head coaching.

“That’s what I like,” Fangio said of putting more pop in his downfield passing game. “Contrary to the stereotype that’s always out there — defensive head coach, wants to ground and pound, considers the pitch to the halfback a pass — that’s not me. I like to be aggressive.”

That was evident in Denver’s win over the Chargers in December when Fangio overruled first-year offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello’s suggestion that Drew Lock take a knee with 8 seconds left and play for overtime.

Instead, Lock threw deep to Courtland Sutton, who drew a 39-yard defensive pass interference flag, setting up a game-winning field goal by Brandon McManus as time expired in Lock’s

his first decade in the NFL on Reid’s NFL debut. staff in Philadelphia. He coached the Fangio fired Scangarello last month Eagles’ tight ends and offensive line and replaced him with veteran playfrom 1999-2001 and their quarterbacks caller Pat Shurmur. from 2002-08.

“Those two decisions were indeSo, Shurmur has been schooled in pendent of each other,” Fangio said Reid’s pile-up-thethis week as points coaching he revealed his mentality. intention to move “You just have on from Scanto throw it down garello even if there. I think Shurmur hadn’t that’s how you been available. do it,” Shurmur The Broncos said. “I think averaged just 17.6 we have some points a game players that can last season, their be effective and worst in 28 years. make plays and Nine times they be productive scored 16 points with a deep ball. I or less and they finished 28th in Pat Shurmur, think it’s important that you do the league in total Denver Broncos new attack the defense offense, 28th in scoring, 28th in offensive coordinator down the field.

But I think you have to chalTo bridge the gap between them and lenge a defense, and one way to do it is the Chiefs, who outscored the Broncos to do it downfield. That’s how you get 53-9 last season, Fangio has turned to points, that’s how you move the ball.”

catches for 562 yards and caught three touchdowns in 2019.

General manager John Elway will have well north of $60 million in cap space and could have as many as a dozen draft picks this offseason, as he seeks to bolster his offense.

Fangio figures the way to catch — and beat — the Chiefs is at their own game.

“Well, right now as we stand here today — things change year to year — they’ve lost eight games in the last two years and in all of those games except one, the other team has scored 31 or more points, I believe,” he said.

“So that paints a little picture there for you. The other game they lost, the winning team (the Colts last year) only scored 19 points but they ran the ball 45 times in that game. So that was a different formula.

“So it’s got to be somewhere in between there. You’ve got to be able to slow them down somewhat, which to some degree we did a little bit. But obviously you’re going to have to score some points. That goes without saying.”

Fangio’s reasoning was sound but his math a little bit off. The Chiefs have lost nine games, including playoffs, over the last two years, and the Chargers beat them 29-28 last season.

But his point holds: those nine opponents who beat the Chiefs since 2018 averaged 35.2 points in those games.

Twice what the Broncos averaged last season.

FAA gives final green light to flight-path changes Metroplex plan to be implemented in March; Centennial Airport to refile legal action

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After nearly four years since the federal government put plans in motion to reroute airplane traffic in the Denver metro area, the changes are now slated to be implemented this spring.

The Federal Aviation Administration’s plan to optimize arrival and departure at local airports is called the Denver Metroplex project, and it includes Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport and some others.

An FAA study, called an environmental assessment, looked at impacts the project could have on noise, air quality, wildlife, and historic and cultural resources.

The proposed change in flight paths is expected to have “no significant impacts” on those aspects of the project’s area, including metro Denver and the Greeley area, according to the study.

Now, the FAA has released an official final word — a “Finding of No Significant Impact” and “Record of Decision” — which enables the agency to move forward with the Metroplex project. The decision was announced Jan. 24.

The finding means the FAA has determined that a further review, called an environmental impact statement, isn’t necessary before the plan is put into action, according to the FAA’s website.

completed Metroplex projects around the nation, and all projects have been reviewed with EAs, as of December, according to FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer.

While the plan would directly impact only a handful of airports, potential effects could be felt in an area that includes all, or portions of, 31 counties in Colorado — although the FAA’s analysis indicates only a few dozen people would experience notable noise increases, located in unincorporated Jefferson County and unincorporated Elbert County.

for the portion of flight that occurs below 3,000 feet above ground for all proposed paths in the Metroplex plan, and said that includes the final portion of flight.

It’s unclear what explains the discrepancy between the airport’s and FAA’s statements.

“We respectfully disagree with the FAA,” Olislagers said. The airport intends to argue that point as part of its upcoming legal action against the agency.

As for where exactly people could see more intense traffic, Colorado Community Media has previously reported that flights would have the same landing angle in the area around Centennial Airport and will fly the same altitudes as today, according to the FAA. Regarding whether those statements apply to takeoff and landing operations below 3,000 feet above ground, Kenitzer said: “Many factors beyond existing procedures and Metroplex proposed procedures determine historic and future aircraft overflight and the altitude of that overflight. Areas of anticipated aircraft overflight … considered by the DEN Metroplex Project have occurred and may occur anywhere over Douglas County or Arapahoe County at or above altitudes FAA defines and the aircraft operator determines for the safe operation of aircraft.”

Conflicting accounts “The FAA’s environmental review for the project indicates some people will experience slight noise decreases, some will see no changes and some will experience small noise increases,” the FAA said in a news release.

“Additionally, some people might see aircraft where they did not previously fly after the Denver Metroplex procedures are implemented.”

Centennial Airport has argued at length that the FAA didn’t consider the impact of the part of flight that occurs below 3,000 feet above ground, and that leaves unclear how much communities could be affected.

Littleton, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and other nearby cities could experience effects, but it’s unknown how much, Robert Olislagers, executive director Change out west of Centennial Airport, has said.

During the recent planning process, “As has been stated before, the FAA the FAA made a handful of tweaks completely ignores impacts below 3,000 (feet above ground), which makes to the list of proposed new flight paths, but the notable planned new any noise modeling deeply flawed,” paths in south metro Denver remain the airport wrote in a Dec. 18 letter to unchanged. the FAA.

to the proposed ZIMMR moved the path even farther to the south than the original proposed change, according to the environmental assessment.

That route will run north of the Gilpin County boundary, according to the finding of no significant impact.

Residents in that county have recently complained about planned flight path changes, according to Denver-area media reports.

“However, rapidly changing atmospheric conditions and convective activity over the Front Range may require air traffic control to build in a greater margin of safety (than) the minimum separation standards for aircraft which may affect aircraft” on that path, the document says, implying that there will be variation in where flights on that route fly.

“The procedure will not be over Gilpin County, but that does not mean that aircraft will not be (directed over) there during times of convective activity,” Kenitzer said.

Last year, Centennial Airport took legal action — a petition for review — against the FAA over the Metroplex project.

That move came in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In the June 19 legal filing, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority — the government body that oversees the airport — asked the court to review the FAA’s study, its determination that an environmental impact statement isn’t needed and its proposed changes in flight procedures.

The airport later withdrew its case because the filing was premature, and the court formally dismissed the case Aug. 16. The airport plans to file its case again but does not yet have a firm date.
