Let there be lights The Denver Museum of Nature & Science has played host to countless numbers of traveling exhibits over the years. These exhibits come from all over the world, and from some of the most respected institutions of learning and exploration.

But that presents a challenge for museum staff — how to make an exhibit that visitors may have seen before feel fresh.

“Any time we get an exhibit, we look for ways to add our own stamp,” said Eric Godoy, museum program specialist. “We go through our own collections and work with scientists to add something new. We also have

great organizations to work with.”

That’s how “Creatures of Light: Nature’s Bioluminescence,” the museum’s new exhibit, running through June 10, came to feature contributions from Westminster’s Butterfly Pavilion and the Denver Botanic Gardens.

After months of residents’ complaints, the city of Denver is taking a look at the dozens of “cell poles” that have appeared in residential neighborhoods since 2017.

Denverite first reported on the phenomenon last year. The poles, some up to 30 feet tall, have appeared on block after block, part of new efforts by Verizon and other providers to build out a high-speed cell network.

The city can’t completely stop the installation of the poles, thanks to a 2017 state law that says companies should generally be allowed to build them in the public right of way along streets.

‘Restorative practices’ idea doesn’t convince all educators North High demonstrates program that some think could reduce safety

‘I will take lower test scores every day of the week. I don’t need to have the very best test scores if families and kids feel welcome and included.’

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT.ORG

What struck Erika Strauss Chavarria the most was the mutual respect she saw between adults and teenagers at Denver’s North High School.

Having watched her own students in Maryland get handcuffed by armed police officers in the hallways, the Spanish teacher said North seemed almost like “a utopian society.”

“It’s like the little things that make this building great,” Strauss Chavarria said. After she and other visitors sat in on a history class, the buzz was not about the lesson but about how the teacher trusted students enough to go to the bathroom without asking permission.

North is one of three Denver schools serving as national examples of restorative justice. Educators and community members from around Colorado and the country have been invited to spend a day in one of these schools to see what it looks like when teachers and students are encouraged to sit down and hash out their conflicts.

Restorative justice — or restorative practices, as Denver Public Schools calls it — is an approach to school dis-

cipline that focuses on repairing harm rather than doling out punishment.

In action, it looks like students or teachers who are in conflict having a conversation about how their actions affected each other and what they can do to fix the situation.

Advocates say the method reduces punitive discipline and builds relationships that feed a positive school culture.

Denver began dabbling in restorative justice more than a decade ago with a pilot program at North and three other schools. It’s now part of the district’s discipline code, and officials said more than 40 percent of Denver’s 207 schools have staff dedicated to restorative justice.

The district has seen its number of suspensions drop even as its enrollment has grown. In 2010, the district suspended nearly 9,000 of its 78,000

students, according to district and state statistics. Last school year it suspended just shy of 4,500 of its 91,000 students.

Denver offers example The length and breadth of Denver’s experience make it a good exemplar, said Dwanna Nicole of the Advancement Project. The Washington, D.C.based civil rights organization is part of a coalition that began arranging the visits last year.

The coalition aims to host 15 visits a year split between North, Skinner Middle School, and Hallett Academy elementary school.

The visits are free for educators and community members, and the slots fill up quickly, Nicole said. The funding comes from a three-year grant from another coalition member: the National Education Association.

Teachers unions aren’t always fans of this approach. Some teachers worry that a soft touch will leave them without enough tools to deal with unruly students and might even make classrooms less safe.

Denver’s union once had similar concerns but is now part of the coalition. The national union joined to inform more teachers about the approach, said Harry Lawson, associate director of NEA’s human and civil rights department.

There isn’t a lot of research on the effects of restorative justice, and studies haven’t found a direct causal link between restorative practices and better student outcomes.

However, existing research consistently finds decreases in the use of suspensions and improved school culture. The idea behind the visits, organizers said, is to answer questions common even among those who’ve been trained in the basics: What does restorative justice look like when it’s done well? What does it feel like? How do I know if I’m in a school that’s “restorative”?

They’re also meant to energize educators who may find themselves the lone advocate for the method in a community of skeptics.

“They’re able to go back home and say to their principal, ‘I saw it. This is what they did,’” Nicole said. “It renews the work.”

‘That’s what all this work is all about: trying to change the culture and climate of our schools. This is not about implementing a program. It’s implementing a way of life.’

FROM PAGE 2

The recent visit to North gave the 15 visitors, 14 of whom were from other states, a chance to pick the brains of administrators, teachers, and students who buy into restorative justice.

Kelsey Binggeli, a Spanish teacher who’s been at North for three years, fielded questions about how she gets to know her students and what she does when they’re late to class, an issue several visitors acknowledged was a problem at their schools.

“When they get to my class late?”

Binggeli said. “Invite them in. `Welcome.’”

The visitors exchanged incredulous looks. Several remarked that wouldn’t fly at their school.

Accommodating students Lisbeth Vargas, a restorative practices coordinator at North, explained that students who are tardy get a phone call home. But unbeknownst to them, she said, all first-period tardies are excused.

It’s a decision she said administrators made after hearing students’ stories of having to drop off younger brothers and sisters or take unreliable public transportation.

Vargas is teaching a new class at North this semester that gives students even more of a role in restorative justice by training them to facilitate conversations for low-level offenses, such as using a cell phone in class. In recruiting students for the class, the school aimed for a mix of

Kevin Gilbert, equity director of a school district near Baltimore ages and discipline records, inviting those who’d been in trouble and those who hadn’t.

Sophomore Laila Arguello said that before taking the class, she ditched school so much that Vargas had her mom on speed-dial.

She was quick to escalate confrontations, she said, and often found herself part of the conversations she’s now learning to lead.

“You know how girls are,” Arguello said. If someone was gossiping about her, she said, “I’d go up to them and be like, `You want to fight? I’ll fight you.’ … Now I’m like, ‘If you have an issue, we can talk about it. I’m not going to waste my time on arguing and fighting with you.’”

Other students said the class has made them think of themselves differently, as leaders and role models.

“My grades have flipped after being in this class,” said sophomore Francisco Alvarado-Melchor. He said his

Program has challenges But Wolf was also honest about some of North’s challenges. He readily admitted that not all teachers are on board with restorative justice. While the district does provide some support, he said he’s had to do a lot of things on his own. And although he

attendance has improved, too.

Principal Scott Wolf is a restorative justice evangelist. Even though it was in place before his tenure, he said the culture at North was still very topdown. He’s worked hard in the last five years to give students more of a voice, he said.

The school got rid of its strict dress code and restarted the student council. All job candidates are interviewed by a panel of students and asked specific questions about discipline.

Their answers can be a deal-breaker, he said.

The visitors were stunned. Our principals spend their time worried about test scores, they said.

“I will take lower test scores any day of the week,” Wolf told the group. “I don’t need to have the very best test scores if families and kids feel welcome and included.”

Dozens have been installed already, 90 more are approved for construction, and 85 are in review.

They’re expected to unclog data connections, keeping up with the growing number of devices that tap into the cellular network. They also could be the backbone of the next-generation 5D cell network, due to launch by 2020 and potentially deliver speeds of gigabit per second, far faster than most wired connections.

So, the new poles are going to keep coming, and Denver’s trying to direct

said he strives to hire teachers who reflect the student population, which is 75 percent Hispanic, most teachers are white.

North also still suspends students.

Last year, district statistics show the 1,000-student school had a 9 percent suspension rate, which is higher than some other similarly sized high schools.

If students are fighting and their conflict can’t be resolved with a conversation, dean Marisa Lucio said they’ll often be suspended. The difference is that in order to come back, the students and their families must participate in a meeting and restorative conversation.

“There’s always that skill-building that happens,” Lucio said.

This year, Wolf said the school has issued half as many suspensions as it had at this time last year: 33 compared to 67.

He said North is “committed to data integrity,” meaning it’s honest about recording when students are not in class for discipline reasons, whether they’re sent home or still at school cooling down after a conflict or thinking through what happened.

At the end of the day, the visitors gathered to debrief.

Kevin Gilbert, the equity director of a school district near Baltimore, said what struck him the most was a brief conversation he had with one of the students who was part of the restorative justice class.

The student had recently transferred to North, and when Gilbert asked about the difference between his old school and his new one, the student answered, “The adults in this building care about me.”

“That’s what all this work is all about: trying to change the culture and climate of our schools,” Gilbert said. “This is not about implementing a program. It’s implementing a way of life.”

them to more convenient spots.

“This is going to affect every neighborhood,” Councilman Wayne New told Denverite last year. “This is not just Cheesman Park or Capitol Hill.

This is going to be all across the city.”

New city rules created in January say that the providers should use existing utility poles whenever possible, including by installing combination streetlight-cell poles.

The rules also say that the poles shouldn’t hinder pedestrians or vehicles or affect public safety, that they should be in alleyways or near street corners, and that they shouldn’t be within 250 feet of each other, among other rules. The rules also include design standards.

City crews already have asked Verizon to move the pole at 1175 Emerson St., following pressure from residents.

It’s unclear whether the placement violated rules.

The city is also reviewing all of the current small cell towers for potential issues, and it’s re-screening the proposed towers to see if they meet the current requirements.

Jellyfish are one of the creatures examined in the new Creatures of Light exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.

DENVER MUSEUM OF NATURE AND SCIENCE

LIGHTS FROM PAGE 1

“The best part of working with organizations like the gardens, DMNS or the zoo is that we all do different things, and we do them really well,” said Mario Padilla, entomologist with the Butterfly Pavilion. “We all have the same missions of education, but in different areas. So, these kinds of opportunities allow us to provide a new kind of experience.”

The exhibit was organized by the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa and The Field Museum in Chicago.

The exhibit shines a light on creatures that other natural things that blink, glow, flash and flicker thanks to bioluminescence and biofluorescence. Perhaps the most immediately recognizable of these creatures will be fireflies, even though the insect only rarely lights up Colorado’s evenings.

But there’s a wide swath of beautiful and bizarre creatures from the world over to examine.

Some of the most beautiful glowing items don’t do a whole lot of moving — it’s things like minerals and fungi. To make learning about these materials more interactive, there’s a black light feature where guests can see which minerals glow, and how brightly. And thanks to Dr. Andrew Wilson, assistant curator of mycology at the Denver Botanic Gardens, guests can also see living glowing mushroom — specifically Armillaria mellea and Panellus stipticus.

“Fungi such as lichens and the mushroom genus Cortinarius have tissues that fluoresce under a black light,” Wilson explained. “Right now I’m trying to figure out the best conditions and cultures for optimal glow, but the cultures I have are doing pretty well. When visitors see it, it’s an eerie green glow that the fungus is producing all by itself.”

For more mobile creatures, the exhibit starts out on the land with an examination of fireflies, glowworms and scorpions — all of which have their own important reasons for lumi-

“It’s poorly understood why scorpions fluoresce,” said Padilla, who brought some live Arizona desert hairy scorpions to the museum for the exhibit. “We think they might use their exoskeleton to detect their environment and determine if they’re in danger of exposure.”

From there, the exhibit goes to the water, where up to 90 percent of animals at depths below 700 meters are bioluminescent. First, visitors can stroll across an interactive Puerto Rican lagoon that lights up a trail of flashes from tiny “pyrotechnic” plankton.

The deeper the visitors goes into the ocean, the stranger the animals become. This includes female anglerfish, which have their own built-in fishing rod: a modified dorsal fin spine topped with a lure that pulses with bacterial light. Or the ponyfish, which glows along its belly, camouflaging against the down-welling light from above to avoid being seen by predators lurking below.

“Life has evolved in some amazing ways, and I think it will really surprise and intrigue people,” said Godoy.

“I love when folks come through and say, ‘I didn’t know that.’”

While the cumulative effect of the exhibit is both enlightening and beautiful, it’s the local touches that makes the exhibit special for visitors.

“Science literacy is very important in this day and age. Every advancement in society has been at the hands of science in some way shape or form,” Wilson said. “As a result, it’s important for our scientific institutions to support each other in providing new and exciting ways to engage the public and motivate them to learn more about this amazing world we live in.”

A state House bill and a ballot measure could increase education funding throughout Colorado.

Colorado House Bill 1232, which is currently awaiting hearing by the House Education Committee, seeks to create a new public school funding distribution formula for preschool through secondary education.

The modernized school finance formula, proposed by Colorado superintendents, aspires to provide all 178 Colorado school districts with an increased level of funding for all students, while at the same time establishing a more equitable distribution of funding for students who are underserved and/or face the greatest challenges to being ready for college or a career when they finish high school.

“The bill making its way through Legislature would change how the pie gets sliced,” said state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger, D-Arvada, who sits on the Senate education committee and the Legislative Interim Committee on School Finance, which is charged with examining how to update the school finance formula.

“The last time the formula was updated was in 1994 through the Public School Finance Act of 1994.

“If coupled with a separate initiative for ballot, we can increase the size of the pie,” Zenzinger explained. “They go hand in hand. Why have a conversation about changing the formula if we don’t have a commitment to fund it?”

The Great Schools, Thriving Communities ballot initiative seeks to increase that pie by creating a quality public education fund financed through higher taxes on incomes above $150,000 and on “C” corporations. Organizers maintain that if passed, the initiative would providing sustainable support for schools by stabilizing property taxes.

The ballot initiative is designed in a way to align with the House bill.

“We are working together, learning together and coming up with a proposal that would meet everyone’s interest,” said Susan Meek, communication director for Great Education Colorado, the organization sponsoring the ballot initiative. “It wasn’t a good idea to just raise revenue when we could lose it to the Gallagher Amendment.”

The Gallagher Amendment is just one factor that makes state education funding in Colorado complex.

The Gallagher Amendment, passed in 1982, says the state must adjust the assessment rate of residential real property to ensure the percentage of the assessed value of taxable

residential real property relative to the assessed value of all taxable real property remains the same as in 1985.

The Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights (TABOR), passed in 1992, also causes problems by putting pressure on state resources by generally reducing local share and increasing state share.

A third factor is Amendment 23, passed in 2000, which says that the statewide base per pupil funding must annually increase by at least inflation, putting pressure on state resources by increasing the amount of total program funding.

In 2010, nationwide recession resulted in lower state revenues, and Gallagher, TABOR, and Amendment 23 combined resulted in a state share amount that was more than the state could pay and still meet other budgetary demands.

Because of this, the General Assembly created the negative factor to reduce the state’s share of total program proportionately across school districts.

The effect is that the negative factor reduces total program funding for most school districts because of reduced state share.

“It’s a complicated set of factors,” said Dr. Jason Glass, superintendent of Jefferson County Public Schools. “I think the punchline on school funding each year is that the final numbers are determined by the state Legislature.

They determine what money is for each school district through a complicated set of factors.”

One thing that Glass said makes state education finding even more difficult is that education is competing against other needs in the state.

“Everything the state funds is underfunded,” Glass said. “Legislature is going through the process of balancing needs to determine right mixture. We don’t know if it’s a year they want to highlight transportation over education.”

Issues in funding that the interim committee is looking at include whether the state is counting students correctly and whether it is adequately defining who is at-risk, cost-of-living adjustments and district sizes.

But Zenzinger said even if all those problems are addressed, there is still the local share problem that the Gallagher Amendment, TABOR and Amendment 23 create.

“We have to make sure that we are doing a better job of having the necessary resources to eliminate that negative factor that comes at the end of the process,” Zenzinger said. “The proposal the superintendents are putting forward will help modernize that formula, but it’s worthless if at the end of the day we end up carving up the same pie.

“We need to have a really honest conversation about whether that base amount is adequate and equitable and whether that base amount is even close to what the national average is.

And it’s not.”

To be honest, I QUIET had never heard of Atwood, but I liked DESPERATION the quote. The quote led me to her. She is a novelist and a poet and an inventor.

I invented something that never got off the ground. I am still looking for an investor.

I invented a smoke Craig Marshall alarm that doesn’t chirp you to death.

(You could program it to say, “My battery is low, Otis,” if your name was Otis, or even if it wasn’t.)

Every time one of my smoke alarms fatigues and chirps, I spend 20 min-

utes or more trying to determine which one it is. In the meantime, the dog goes out of his mind.

I was looking for a good quote about spring, and that’s how I found Atwood.

She’s Canadian. If she were an American, she’d be on a stamp someday. Her life has been impressive.

Of course, anyone can be on a stamp these days. You can have stamps made with anything you want on them, and they’re legal tender.

I don’t feel any differently about spring than I do about winter, unless we’ve had a good sock of winter. And we haven’t.

Spring will be welcome nevertheless, even though I don’t have any dirt.

I don’t plant anything, and I never have. Maybe it was too much apartment living when I was younger. Or maybe it is an ineptitude when it comes to home-growing flowers and vegetables.

There are a few things that change around here when spring arrives. Rus-

Russell will get the sprinkler system running and tell me a bad joke while he’s doing it.

The yard will be aerated and fed.

And finally the mower will come out and make too much racket.

They weren’t all alike. Each one was designated for a different purpose and zone.

The upright couldn’t go where the handheld could go.

Our house was never a home. It was always too clean. I keep a clean house, but it is nothing like the houses I lived in when I was growing up. I felt like the Bubble Boy without the bubble.

her: It rewarded her, and gave her day a purpose.

She’s gone, and I wish I could ask her what she did all day, home alone, while dad was at work, and while Cindy and I were in school.

I think I know the answer: She cleaned things over and over, and cleaned things that didn’t need to be cleaned.

I know she didn’t watch television or drink or take snoozes. She cleaned.

In 2008, my boss, my mentor, and my friend Zig Ziglar was asked to speak at an executive retreat for about 400 people. The sponsoring corporation was a Fortune 50 company. The executive retreat was taking place over three days and they had several big-name celebrities, subject matter experts, and professional athletes

who were going to speak to the group at different times over the three-day event. Mr. Ziglar was going to be the last speaker on the final day of the retreat. And for me, well I was the president of the company at the time and I was invited to the event as well.

Mostly I was just Zig’s bag man and I was happy and proud to have that job for Zig at any time.

Mr. Ziglar was scheduled to speak in the afternoon. The lunch that day was held oceanside with white linen tablecloths and a fine dining experience set up on the beach. We were invited to sit with the CEO, the CFO, and the chairman of the board along with the other guest speakers and celebrities who were participating that week. At that point they had all given their talk and the only one left to speak was Zig Ziglar later that afternoon.

As we enjoyed lunch, there were some very good discussions going on.

Some very intriguing questions and stimulating conversation. I watched and observed Mr. Ziglar as he quietly and deliberately ate his lunch and took it all in. At a table with some very highly educated people, extremely

business savvy folks, and celebrities who were not at a loss for opinions or words, it became obvious that Mr. Ziglar was not participating in the conversation. Not yet anyway.

A question came up and before anyone else could answer the CEO stopped and asked Mr. Ziglar if he would like to share his thoughts. And Zig looked at me, winked, put down his fork and knife and said, “Thank you, I thought you would never ask, and why yes I do have a thought or two I would like to share.” The question was about character and integrity in a corporate environment. Zig summed it all up, confidently, quietly, with conviction, and from a position of confidence based on his own fundamental belief system. I can’t include every single word Zig spoke that day, so I will give you the punch line, “Reputation is what you have done in this life, character and integrity is who you are.”

How often do we just jump in and try and become part of a conversation, competing for air time, and wanting to prove our knowledge? How often do we think about what it is we want to say instead of listening, truly listening, and waiting for the appropriate time to respond? It’s one thing to read books, watch videos and take courses on best practices and business principles, and I strongly advocate for all of those as we grow personally and professionally. But I was so very blessed to have watched it happen real-time, live, and right in front of my eyes. I still pinch myself whenever I think about my 12 years of working with Zig Ziglar, his family, and the many people who were part of the Ziglar corporation.

Bumper-to-bumper and stop-and-go traffic.

Merging into a single lane of highway.

Traveling 20 mph below the speed limit during rush hour.

Work zones can be frustrating, said Stacia Sellers, a communications specialist with the Colorado Department of Transportation.

But motorists must remember to “go slow in the cone zone,” Sellers said, reciting a well-known safety campaign slogan.

“Even if you don’t see the workers, it’s coned off for a reason,” she said.

No matter if it’s filling a pothole, replacing a guardrail, repairing a bridge, building a new road or cleaning up debris, road crew workers are out there to make the roads safer, Sellers said.

And they’re putting their lives at risk to do so, she added.

Whether it is a lane closed off or a traffic pattern realignment, for example, these are active work zones and are not normal driving conditions, said Colorado State Patrol Trooper Josh Lewis. At any given time, a piece of machinery or a person on foot could suddenly appear.

People should follow the same guidelines when driving through a work zone as with any time they’re behind the wheel — be aware of your surroundings and not distracted, Lewis said.

But especially in work zones, “slow down and be vigilant,” he said. “These

are real human beings out doing a job.

And they want to be able to go home at the end of the day.”

There will always be signs posted to warn drivers that they’re entering a work zone, said Kyle Cordova, a transportation maintenance supervisor for CDOT. “But,” he said, “for some reason, it’s quite common for somebody to drive into a coned-off lane.”

Distracted driving is an issue, but Cordova believes the biggest hazard is aggressive driving, he said.

“We have people fly by us, well over the speed limit,” Cordova said, noting sometimes people will drive 20 mph or even 30 mph over the posted speed limit.

Another thing people should mindful of are the driving conditions, such as sun glare or snow, Cordova said.

“You never know what you’re going to get,” he said. “In a split second, anything could happen. And it could cost a life.”

Other than paying attention and adhering to posted signs, another thing motorists can do is comply with the Move Over Law, Sellers said. In fact, she added, a lot of motorists don’t realize the law also includes road maintenance workers.

Colorado’s Move Over Law was implemented on July 1, 2005, and requires motorists to make way for emergency vehicles, by way of pulling over and stopping, or slowing down and moving to a lane away from the emergency vehicle.

Motorists can also get hurt in a work zone accident, said Sara Aupperle, a project engineer with Kraemer North America, a full-service heavy civil contractor based in Castle Rock. “The impact is two-fold.”

Especially in the case of a collision with a large piece of machinery, cars

can get damaged and a person could be injured, she said.

“The bottom line,” Aupperle said, “is that we plan our work to avoid and mitigate hazards for everyone, including Kraemer workers, subcontractors, inspectors, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.”

Kraemer does a number of safety preparation mechanisms that follow through for the duration of a project, Aupperle said. Examples are site-specific safety orientations, during which workers review recognized hazards on a project, and safety critical planning, which helps to prepare for closures and other provisions related to traffic flow.

The company recently completed a project at U.S. 6 and 19th Street in Golden, work that came to be commonly known as Linking Lookout.

Despite working directly next to about 43,000 cars and hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists each day, and working in volatile Colorado weather conditions, only two incidents were recorded over the duration of the project, Aupperle said.

One of the incidents involved an inattentive motorist not seeing and subsequently hitting a worker on foot crossing in a crosswalk in the construction area.

“Following that incident,” Aupperle said, “the City of Golden, Golden Police Department and Kraemer worked together and enacted enhanced protections for everyone.”

Motorists need to remember that if it weren’t for the road workers, people wouldn’t be able to easily get to work, to the doctor, to the grocery store or any other place that requires road travel, Cordova said.

“We’re not out there to delay your day,” Cordova said. “We’re there to provide a safe road for the traveling public.”

Children’s Museum named finalist for national medal Focus on accessibility celebrated by Institute of Museum and Library Services

BY STAFF REPORT

Being accessible to all families is a top priority for the Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus, and because of that passion, the museum has been named a finalist for the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service.

Presented by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the national medal is the nation’s highest honor given to museums and libraries for service to their communities. The Denver museum is one of 29 finalists for the honor.

With the help of community partners, the Children’s Museum has developed and launched multiple access programs that strive to provide free family memberships, free or greatly

reduced daily admission and free school programs to children, families and schools in need.

“The Children’s Museum has worked tirelessly to ensure a visit to the museum is within reach for all Colorado families,” U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Denver, said in a news release. “The museum offers multiple programs that provide free or greatly reduced admissions and memberships to at-risk Colorado families.”

The museum has provided nearly 100,000 admissions to children and families through programs including the Sponsored Admissions and Memberships Program, the SNAP Access Initiative, and Growing Scientists: Sparking STEM in Early Childhood.

“The 29 National Medal finalists showcase the tremendous ability of libraries and museums to serve as vital community resources,” said Institute of Museum and Library Services Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. “The Institute of Museum and Library Services is honored to recognize these leading institutions. We congratu-

late them on the work they are doing across the United States.”

The institute encourages guests and community members to share their Children’s Museum story on social media. To #ShareYourStory, go to www.facebook.com/USIMLS or www. twitter.com/us_imls and use #IMLSmedals.

National Medal winners will be announced this spring. Representatives from winning institutions will be honored for their contributions at the National Medal Ceremony on May 24 in Washington, D.C. For 24 years, the award has celebrated institutions that demonstrate extraordinary and innovative approaches to public service. The 2018 National Medal seeks to honor institutions who strive to be accessible to all, despite financial and socioeconomic barriers. Two other Colorado institutions, Mancos Public Library and Pueblo City-County Library District, were also honored.

LIFE Planting seeds for opera appreciation

Denver Herald 11

Organization reaches 40,000 students a year through its outreach program

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Even opera singers understand that their artform of choice can be easy to make fun of at times, even if the things people assume about opera are wrong.

“People think operas are impossible to understand, or that they’re just people screaming on stage,” said Cherity Koepke, director of education and community programs and director of Opera Colorado’s Young Artist Program. “A lot of people think opera singers are all old, but they don’t understand the diversity of voices coming from the next generation of singers.”

Nathan Ward, who initially studied cello and piano in high school, understands the hesitancy many people have towards the centuries-old musical form.

“I was skeptical even while I was watching my first opera, right until the end, when I heard all these motifs woven together,” Ward, who is a member of the Young Artist Program, remembers. “Now, I get to be part of the first opera experience for students all over Colorado, and that means a lot.”

Since its creation in 1983, Opera Colorado has been working to keep the form alive and thriving in the metro area and elsewhere in the state through performances at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, in classrooms, and theaters in towns like Telluride and Steamboat Springs.

“We produce two large-scale, grand operas a year, and a contemporary, smaller chamber piece in the winter,” said Greg Carpenter, general and artistic director of Opera Colorado.

“Some of our most significant work is our work with young people — by going into schools and touring with our young adults program, we reach about 40,000 students a year.”

In May, Opera Colorado will be producing Giuseppe Verdi’s comic opera, “Falstaff,” but it has an equally exciting day coming on Saturday, March 24 — Family Day at the Opera. Created as a free way to introduce parents and children alike to opera, the event allows people to see members of the Young Artist Program perform shortened, English versions of the touring productions — in this case, “Cinderella” and “The Elixir of Love.”

There will also be activities, food, and other fun ways to experience the world of opera. Audiences literally sit on stage at the performers’ feet.

“After being with the organization’s education department for years, I’ve found the best way to get children in opera is to show them the classics,

OPERA COLORADO/JAMIE KRAUS instead of operas created specifically for children,” Koepke said. “What we do is abridge the opera, and translate it into English, but it’s still the classic.

We’ve also found making connections to their lives helps kids relate to the opera.”

The Young Artist Program is eight months long and provides the seven members with smaller main-

stage roles, mentorship, coaching, and opportunities to do community outreach. As a member, Ward sees how open to opera children can be, especially without the preconceived notions so many adults are saddled with.

“It’s great that kids be willing to try this art form, or at least listen to more of it, because of the performances we

do,” he said. “This music has existed for centuries because it is good, and if we can get kids to have an open mind, that’s great.”

Even if the children who watch the opera aren’t inspired to be a performer of any kind, there’s still a variety of careers available, from lights and tech to make up and sound design.

“The themes of opera are as relevant today as when they were written,” Carpenter said. “Going to the opera a great chance to do something social with people, something you can go to dinner and discuss.”

‘Linking Asia’ exhibit nearing end at Denver Art Museum Visitors can enjoy look back at ancient trade routes

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Linking Asia,” at the Denver Art Museum only through April 1, starts with the legendary Silk Road, which included land and sea routes, illustrating how ideas, techniques, materials and trade goods traveled hundreds of miles and farther, setting the style in faraway lands, when it came to Asian china. (The emperor of Turkey in Istanbul had a huge collection of blue and white china, for example, and it was stylish in Europe as well.)

As a visitor enters the carefully organized “Linking Asia” gallery, there is a huge painted map of China during the Ming Dynasty, dated 1681, (loaned

by Wesley A. Brown). Painted in Japan 40 years after the Ming Dynasty, it shows cities, mountains, trade routes in China — and also inspires the colors used in the exhibit, said Tianlong Jiao, Joseph de Heer curator of Asian Art, who organized this fascinating look at history in a part of the world much in today’s news. Trade goods from China, Japan, Korea, India, Indonesia, Iran and Afghanistan flowed back and forth, not only across the continent, but to Europe and Turkey as well. Another large map shows more trade routes. Busy international trade (and, undoubtedly, arguments about it) is not new!

Enterprising businessmen years ago commissioned artisans to create objects like those being made in faraway places, and cultural exchange flourished. An interesting story of the travels of Buddhist images and religious practices through Asia adds another facet.

Tianlong Jiao, pleased with the way

this exhibit illustrates interaction between nations, is thinking this may be the way to organize the Asian collection when it moves back into the “now under-remodeling” North Building, designed 50 years ago by Gio Ponti.

Gene Nieges, an active docent with the Denver Art Museum — and a Highlands Ranch resident, as is curator Tianlong Jiao — looks forward to improvements in that older building, recalling how he had to “fight with other docents over two elevators, with 300-400 kids in tow” who needed to be upstairs.

Nieges thinks the Linking Asia exhibit, where he frequently leads tours, is “great for kids because it shows how we get goods and products today from all over the world. With the Silk Road, art and religion also moved across the world.” The exhibit is full of Islamic art, made in the French art form for Islamic Chinese. “Kids enjoy Funereal art, especially what was buried with the dead.”

Tianlong Jiao called special attention to a 268-inch-long scroll from the museum collection, painted in silk, which has never been displayed before. It is called “Tribute Bearers” and was probably painted by Qiu Ying in the 1500s. It shows 10 foreign delegations traveling to pay tribute to the Chinese court — each with exotic features, distinctive costumes and gifts.

It illustrates international relations in its period, according to catalog essayist Yang Wang.

This Pan-Asian exhibit includes objects from 20 countries and spans 2,000 years. Most are from the DAM’s own collection with a few loaned items. It is displayed in the Gallagher Gallery on the first floor. Admission is included with regular admission to the museum, which is at 13th Avenue and Bannock Street in downtown Denver. denverartmuseum.org.

Broncos will make their Case with new quarterback Keenum helped Minnesota reach the NFC championship game

‘Case is a tremendous person and teammate with strong leadership skills and a terrific work ethic. He’ll be great in our locker room.’

BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Case Keenum is joining his fifth team in five years and the Denver Broncos are turning to their fifth quarterback since Peyton Manning retired 24 months ago.

General manager John Elway called Keenum “a great fit for us’’ after the sixth-year pro parlayed a breakout year in Minnesota into a two-year, $36 million deal with Denver on March 14.

“Along with that experience,’’ Elway said, “his leadership and competitiveness are what you look for in a quarterback.’’

Elway, by the way, isn’t done looking at quarterbacks.

Elway and coach Vance Joseph were in Norman, Oklahoma, checking out Baker Mayfield’s pro day when free agency opened March 14. Then, the next day, they were headed for Los Angeles to watch Josh Rosen’s pro day at UCLA. The Broncos were busy when free agency opened, keeping linebacker

Vance Joseph Denver Broncos head coach

Todd Davis (three years, $15 million); adding cornerback Tramaine Brock (one year, $4 million); finalizing Aqib Talib’s trade to the Los Angeles Rams; and moving quarterback Trevor Siemian to the Vikings.

Besides Mayfield and Rosen, other potential, long-term fixes for franchises with quarterback quandaries include Wyoming’s Josh Allen, USC’s Sam Darnold, Louisville’s Lamar Jackson and Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph.

Coming off a career-changing season, Keenum was widely considered the second-most attractive veteran QB on the market behind Cousins. And he is a player the Broncos know well because Gary Kubiak, now the Broncos’

senior personnel adviser, had him for two seasons while Kubiak was head coach of the Houston Texans.

“Case is perfect for our team, both as a player and as a person,’’ said Joseph, who also worked for the Texans. “He’s playing the best football of his career right now and has gotten better with every opportunity he’s had.

“Being around him in Houston, Case is a tremendous person and teammate with strong leadership skills and a terrific work ethic. He’ll be great in our locker room.’’

Keenum, who made $2 million last year, went 11-3 in place of an injured Sam Bradford, leading the Vikings to the NFC championship game.

He threw for more than 3,500 yards

with 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions.

His signature moment was that last-second 61-yard touchdown toss to Stefon Diggs that stunned the Saints 29-24 in the playoffs.

The Broncos haven’t been back to the playoffs since Manning retired following Denver’s 24-10 triumph over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 two years ago.

They’ve cycled through Mark Sanchez, Siemian, Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch, while going a combined 14-18.

The Broncos, coming off a 5-11 season, were considered an early frontrunner to land Cousins. Minnesota, however, had a sparkling stadium, new state-of-the-art training facility, stacked roster and coaching stability to offer him, while the Broncos’ main magnet was Von Miller.

Even though he issued a public plea for Cousins to join him in Denver, Miller is welcoming Keenum to town .

“Looks/Feels right to me!’’ Miller said in an Instagram post. “We got what we were looking for! Franchise QB that’s the perfect fit for DENVER! (at)johnelway with the deep 3 pointer!

Like always! Leeettttss Goooo!!! (at) casekeenum7 (at)casekeenum7 Time for me to hold up my end of the deal now!’’
