BY IAN WARREN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Designers, models, stylists — and Denver’s most stylish — gathered at EXDO Event Center in the RINO neighborhood recently for Denver Fashion Weekend, a three-night event sponsored for the 10th year by 303 Magazine. During the first two nights, local and national boutiques and designers showed off their talents and designs. The third night was all about hair styling. The surge in population in the Denver metro area has spurred the fashion event’s growth, said Brittany Werges, managing editor at 303 Magazine. “With the growing population, there are a lot of people who want to be in on it,” Werges

said. “Fortunately, for us, that manifested in record-breaking ticket sales and twice the amount of attendees since last spring.” The most celebrated night is hair night, when stylists — mostly the southwestern states — go all out to showcase their talents. This year, that included ballerinas dancing down the runway and elaborate headdresses by Beto’s Salon in Cherry Creek. Perhaps the most significant participant this year was international supermodel Madeline Stuart, who has Down syndrome and is touring to raise awareness. Her next stop is London. Denver Fashion Weekend happens twice a year, in spring and fall. For more information, go to 303magazine.com.

The Colorado Senate has passed a bill to allow pot growers and retailers to reclassify recreational pot as medical marijuana in the event of a federal crackdown. The bill, passed April 12, is seen as the boldest bid yet by a U.S. marijuana state to avoid possible federal intervention in its pot market. But critics say nothing guarantees that reclassifying pot as medicine would stop federal action. Marijuana is illegal under federal law, and the Trump administration has given mixed signals on its policy toward U.S. marijuana states. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been skeptical of pot’s medical value. President Donald Trump has suggested the handling of marijuana should be up to the states. Recreational pot is legal in eight states plus Washington, D.C., and medical marijuana is legal in more than half the country. The bill passed by Colorado’s Republican-controlled Senate and sent to the Democrat-led House would allow the state’s roughly 500 licensed recreational marijuana growers to reclassify their product “based on a business need due to a change in local, state or federal law or enforcement policy.” Sen. Tim Neville, a Jefferson County Republican and a sponsor of the bill, has said recreational pot businesses need to have the option of converting their goods into medicinal pot to stay in business. But opponents say any such move would be costly. Colorado would lose more than $100 million a year because it taxes recreational pot much more than medical pot — nearly 18 percent versus 3 percent.

Giving children with chronic illness a normal life

Eric Bear, 17, a Golden Boy Scout with Troop 130, begins taking inventory on the school supplies he has thus far collected to benefit the Morgridge Academy, which is a school located on the National Jewish Health campus in Denver. The school serves children in kindergarten through eighth grade who have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Bear is collecting the supplies as part of his Eagle project, and people may donate to Bear until May. COURTESY PHOTO

Golden Boy Scout’s Eagle project benefits Morgridge Academy BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Eric Bear was 6 weeks old, he had a severe asthma attack. But the doctors at National Jewish Health in Denver treated him, and continue to help him manage his asthma to a point that he doesn’t have limitations or barriers, Bear said. Now the 17-year-old Genesee resident has earned a first-degree black belt in taekwondo, plays soccer on his high school’s varsity team and has a leadership role with Boy Scout Troop 130 in Golden. So as he works toward achieving Eagle Scout rank, Bear decided to give back to National Jewish Health and organized a school supply drive to benefit the students attending the Morgridge Academy. “As a kid, you don’t have access to much,” Bear said, “but I knew I could contribute to this community.” The Morgridge Academy is a school located on the National Jewish Health campus in Denver. It serves children in kindergarten through eighth grade who have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. The school’s 60 students aren’t able to attend a standard public school because of their health conditions and medical needs, said Jennifer McCullough, the school’s director of education. All the students have a serious illness and sometimes the individuals require immediate access to medical attention. Students also take medical education classes, which train students and their families about illness, and encourage self-care through learning about treatment and management techniques. Morgridge Academy is an accredited school and follows the state curriculum. And like their peers in public schools, students also have P.E. and fine arts classes, and participate in lunch and recess, McCullough said. “The goal is to get them to have as

HOW TO DONATE Eric Bear, a Boy Scout with Troop 130 based in Golden, will be accepting monetary donations and school supplies until May. The donations will help Bear complete his Eagle Scout project, and will benefit the students of Morgridge Academy, which is a school located on the National Jewish Health campus in Denver and serves children in kindergarten through eighth grade who have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. To contact Bear about donations, send an email to EducationalSupplies@troop130golden.net. normal of a life as possible, in spite of their illnesses,” she said. Morgridge Academy receives the same amount of funding as other Colorado schools, McCullough said, but because of the specialized programs and services, its operating costs are much greater. In general, more than $1 million must be raised through private contributions each year. In addition, McCullough said, the majority of the children come from low-income households, and 85 percent of Morgridge Academy students qualify for a free or reduced lunch program. It’s difficult for the families to be able to afford all of their child’s school needs and medical costs, Bear said. “I’m really grateful for the opportunity to give to these kids,” he added. Bear started with the collection efforts for his Eagle project sometime in mid-February, he said. Then on March 5, he set up a table outside of the King Sooper’s in Golden. “Much to my surprise, people went into the store and purchased about $250 worth of supplies, and others donated about $250 in cash,” Bear said. “That was in just two hours.” As of mid-March, Bear has collected more than 200 pencils and pens, notebooks, binders, rulers, glue sticks, markers and calculators, to name just some of the items. In addition, he has received $440 in cash donations. Although the table was a one-time thing, Bear will continue the collection efforts through the first week of May. SEE SCOUTS, P5

VOICES Veterinarian isn’t just kind — he’s truly one-of-a-kind

“Outside of a dog,” Groucho Marx said, “a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark too read.” I thought about becoming a veterinarian. But I don’t have what it takes, and it takes a lot. Your veterinarian QUIET knows everything DESPERATION there is to know about the maintenance and repair of all kinds and ages of dogs and cats. But that’s not enough. A veterinarian has to be able to tell a 6-year-old or a 60-year-old that their Craig Marshall best friend didn’t Smith make it through surgery. I couldn’t do it. Most of us have outlived a number of pets. I have purchased, adopted, rescued, fed, housed and named chameleons,

gerbils, turtles, fish, a cockatiel, a conure (parrot), a pigeon (bad idea) and two dachshunds. There have been cremations, funerals and flushes, and it’s always a Bad Day at Black Rock. The expiration of a goldfish is one thing, and perhaps it’s a beneficial learning experience about life and death when you are young. However, the death of a dog or a cat is much more than that. On the bright side of pet ownership, there are men and women who are trained and willing to help with the well-being of our pets. And to do it with compassion. My dachshund has a veterinarian exactly like that. His name is Dr. Bruce Bowman. He opened his Highlands Ranch clinic in 1985, when Highlands Ranch was one of Denver’s distant neighbors. The pet care profession requires sacrifices that most of us would be unable to make. The around-the-clock operations of

one (great) boarding kennel in Watkins have essentially curtailed the free time of its owners. At least my college students went home at night. I think that 20 or 30 sleepover Smittys would be endearing in its way, but approximating a Tim Burton nightmare as well. Dr. Bowman is always direct and thorough when he informs me about Smitty’s conditions. The most impressive thing might be how well he communicates what needs to be done, and what my options are. “Communication,” he said, “can be the hardest part in medicine. We weren’t trained in compassion. “Sometimes the best surgeon is the worst in translating doctor-speak to humans.” Smitty had his teeth cleaned recently. It’s a big deal for a dog, and I had to sign off on it. He had some other work done at the same time. A growth was removed from one upper eyelid, along with a

couple of benign bumps that belied his handsome exterior. Of course, as the father, I worried about the dear fellow all day, until I picked him up. He was fine. He ate some homework, drank a beverage, and took a long nap. Business as usual. The day will come, because the day has come before, when I won’t bring my friend back home. Maybe he will take it upon himself, or I might have to rely upon Dr. Bowman. Or, better, one of those in-home services. If I have the opportunity, that’s what I will do. We’ll listen to Saint-Saëns’ “The Carnival of the Animals,” Smitty’s favorite, and I will read Dickens to him, like I do every night. World Veterinary Day is Saturday, April 29. Let’s paws to celebrate. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

Small-town boy’s big-time message reminds all of us to focus on center

ig Ziglar, one of the world’s greatest and most recognizable faces, voices, and names in the history of motivation and personal development, was from Yazoo City, Mississippi. Zig used to love to talk about WINNING his hometown and share just how small WORDS of a place Yazoo City was. And then he would tie that story to a really relevant point to connect the end of his funny description. Zig would share with the audience Michael Norton that he could prove that Yazoo City was indeed the center of the universe, and then he would go on to explain and rationalize his statement by saying that because you can get anywhere and go anywhere you wanted from his small town, that must mean that you can go anywhere in life you

DENVER Since 1926

wanted to go from wherever you are. The choice was always up to the listener. I am remembering this now story because the other day I was on a conference call and one of the participants was actually in Yazoo City. And when I shared with her that I had heard Yazoo City was the center of the universe and you can go anywhere you want to go from there, she quickly replied, “Oh no you cannot.” As I tried to share Zig’s story, she continued to argue against the point and it was obvious to see how she may be somewhat representative of many of us who have become jaded in some way, or maybe even lost our own center of the universe. So that got me to thinking about the situation here in our very own country. Every day the Republicans are pointing at the Democrats and the Democrats are pointing back at the Republicans. It seems like the truth can be really elusive. And we all know the truth can always be found somewhere in the middle.

This is not an article meant to fix a broken political system, but rather to remind us all that perhaps we have gotten a little too far from center. The taboo used to be, and maybe still is in some places, that we should never discuss money, politics, or religion in certain situations, or maybe even never at all. Well now we have taken this philosophy to an extreme. I know couples who cannot discuss politics or it erupts in a terrible argument. I have heard of couples becoming separated and possibly divorced as they cannot find their way back to center. And this lack of center when it comes to the state of money, politics and religion has even caused tremendous strife and chasm between siblings, friends, and the closest of partners or co-workers. We have become so focused on the extreme far side of a problem that we have lost sight of the center right in front of us, our spouses, our children and our family and friends. Those we love the most.

I don’t know about you, but if I could be somewhere, anywhere for that matter, and if I knew I could go anywhere I wanted to go, and that the choice was up to me, I would choose to get back to the center of my universe, and in front of the person or people most important to me. They could be from the left side or from the right side, it doesn’t matter because my focus is and should be on the relationship that is the center of my universe. So how about you, do prefer the extreme periphery or do you enjoy the center of your universe? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can place those who live in the center of our hearts right in front of us, it really will be a better than good week.

Abstract painter’s work joins with Still’s in Denver show Mark Bradford makes commentary on issues through his art BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Noted contemporary abstract painter Mark Bradford’s large, striking mixed media paintings are presently exhibited at the Denver Art Museum in company with examples of Abstract Expressionist Clyfford Still’s work. Both painters have chosen to use black liberally in their work and the exhibit, “Shade,” circulated by Buffalo’s Albright-Knox Gallery, and expanded here, is a collaboration between the DAM and the next-door Clyfford Still Museum. Bradford, was born in Los Angeles in 1961, where he lives and works, following study at California Institute of Fine Arts in Valencia. Widely honored, he is a MacArthur Fellowship winner and will represent the United States at the 57th Annual Venice Bienniale with a major solo show in the U.S. Pavilion (May 13-Nov. 26.) He was influenced by Still’s works. In museum materials, he is quoted after seeing a Still painting for the first time: “What caught my eye was the insistence of his paintings. His surfaces are more raw and immediate than other abstract expressionist paintings. His paintings are not just optical — they have a very physical presence.” He compared studio processes (Bradford tears found papers and uses layers with paint.) “My paintings are made up of tearing. To me it represents a process that is more of a reality than laying down a perfect line of paint. It’s raw and violent but it still comes together. And it’s not just tearing that you see in Still’s paintings, it’s a collision of colors. These aren’t smooth transitions.”

“Realness” by contemporary abstract painter Mark Bradford is included in “Shade,” an exhibit of works by Bradford and Clyfford Still at the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE DENVER ART MUSEUM

IF YOU GO “Shade” will be at the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum through July 16, with one ticket valid for entrance to both. Denver Art Museum is between 12th and 14th Avenues the first block west of Broadway, with a parking garage on 12th immediately west of Broadway. The Clyfford Still Museum is directly west of the Hamilton Building, connected by a walkway, or is entered from Acoma Street. See denverartmuseum.org or clyffordstillmuseum.org. Bradford’s paintings include comment on class, culture, race and gender. The museums will further explore social activism and art through programming, to be announced. For a third year, a contemporary artist, Bradford in 2017, was chosen to curate an exhibit from the col-

lected works of Still. His selection of 15 works by Still, which prominently include black pigments, is exhibited in the CSM’s two largest galleries and a ticket to “Shade” includes visits to both museums. “The title, `Shade,’ has rich implications such as to shelter from light, to be in a shadow or to add black to a hue to darken it,” said DAM contemporary art curator Rebecca Hart. “Both Clyfford Still and Mark Bradford have a unique relationship to black. At a time when other Abstract Expressionist artists had vibrant palettes, Still used black to force viewers out of their comfort zones. For Bradford, the choice isn’t neutral; it intentionally forces us to confront conventional notions of race. Each viewer will interpret the use of black differently, hopefully evoking emotions that connect them to the works on view.”

As one enters the first floor Gallagher Family Gallery, one views “Realism,” a two-panel mixed media, textured work on canvas (108 ¼” X 168 ½”) which is in the Denver Art Museum collection. A look at the edges of Bradford’ works shows the layering and tearing involved. Other works follow, such as “Butch Queen” and “Mississippi Gottdam,” which introduces silver with other found paper layers. Still’s related works are woven into the exhibit. At the rear of the gallery is an especially well-made video interview with the articulate Bradford, who says “`Shade’ is simply putting questions into the public domain.” He also commented that Still was a precursor to the civil rights movement. Social activism and art will be explored in future programming by both museums.

Von Miller predicts 2017 will be his best season yet Outside linebacker wants to lead Broncos back to the playoffs BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Von Miller swears missing the Denver Broncos’ offseason program last year didn’t adversely affect his play. Still, after coming up short in his bid to win Defensive Player of the Year and defend his Super Bowl title, the outside linebacker is thrilled to be working out with his teammates this spring. Miller called these initial workouts under new coach Vance Joseph “extremely important” in

his quest to lead the Broncos back to the playoffs and fulfill his pledge to have his best season in 2017. “Last year, I was like, `Man, you don’t really need OTAs. You can train on your own.’ But you really need these,” Miller said April 11. “The National Football League is so competitive, so the more time that you can get to perfect your craft with your teammates” the better. Miller’s 2016 offseason was a whirlwind of global flights and TV appearances including “Dancing with the Stars.” “Honestly, I didn’t even know my helmet was missing,” Miller said. Investigators who located Tom Brady’s missing Super Bowl jerseys in Mexico also found Miller’s Super Bowl 50 helmet , which he said is back in Denver.

Miller signed a seven-year, $114.5 million contract at the deadline last summer after skipping the Broncos’ entire offseason program. Then, he collected 13 1/2 sacks and a careerbest 78 tackles in 2016. But he went without a sack over the final month of the season as the Broncos missed the playoffs by one game and Oakland defensive end Khalil Mack edged him by a single vote for Defensive Player of the Year. “I pretty much didn’t have an offseason last year with so much stuff (going on),” Miller said. “And I wasn’t going to use that as an excuse. I lost by one vote. ... I got close this year. If we were able to make the playoffs or I was able to make a few more plays, who knows where we would have been?” Miller said he’s moved past the

disappointment. “I’m not going to stay stuck in the past. I’m moving forward,” Miller said. “This Von coming up is going to be the best Von that I put forward. It’s going to be my best year. That’s what I’m going for. I have a full offseason, full OTAs, I’m going to be here training every single day. It’s not all that noise on the outside from the contract and this and that and doing all this stuff. Not that that was a big deal for me, but now it’s just all football. I’m here, I’m settled in and it’s time to go play.” Asked if he felt better physically than he did a year ago, Miller said: “I was on `Dancing with the Stars’ at this time. I was probably 230 pounds. You know, I’m definitely feeling a whole lot better, getting rest and being able to sleep.”
