Rezoning will limit redevelopment Unanimous council vote pleases some, strikes others as unwise

BY ANDREW KENNEY AKENNEY@DENVERITE.COM

The neighbors knew it would be a long shot.

They had seen blocky new houses and apartments cramming onto the blocks of other neighborhoods. They thought that their corner of Five Points would be next — and they saw a way to stop it.

“We kept telling ourselves, `This may not work, but at least we’ll get to know our neighbors,’” Robbie Hobein told the Denver

City Council.

On April 23, she and her friends achieved their goal, along with an alliance of the people they’ve met over the last two years: The Denver City Council voted unanimously to rezone about 100 properties around 25th Street and Glenarm Place, a change that will limit the area’s redevelopment.

“You guys are going to be giving clinics all over the city,” said Council President Albus Brooks, who sponsored the bill.

The supporters saw it as a way to preserve the character and affordability of their home, while others said it would unnecessarily limit development in an urban area.

They call it The Little Triangle.

Or at least that’s how Ho-

bein and her neighbors refer to these blocks of smaller singlefamily houses, many dating back to the 1800s, just east of downtown.

“There are a lot of singlefamily homes that are still there.

We are constantly seeing these cannibalized,” said Keith Pryor, a speaker on Monday night.

Neighborhoods like theirs are a tempting site for developers and affluent homebuyers. Sometimes the homes are torn down and replaced — with one project infamously causing the collapse of a neighbor’s wall. Often, a new owner might only keep the first-floor facade of a home. At one point, a developer proposed a SEE REZONING, P9

The RiNo Business Improvement District announced April 24 the immediate launch of a mobility and parking study aimed at making it easier to get around on the art district’s streets.

The program, called RiNo MAPS, is a partnership with Denver Public Works Department and the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative (NDCC), and is expected to run through August.

“This is an opportunity to ensure the streets in River North work for people,” RiNo BID board chairman Justin Croft said in a statement.

“Our streets should be places and not just thoroughfares, where bicyclists and pedestrians are welcome and safe as they traverse the district, interacting with each other and the diverse businesses that call RiNo home. We’ll also focus on highly efficient parking that can be flexible over time as mode-share changes.”

The idea first surfaced in August of last year.

“We realize we’ve kind of reached a critical point on this. The tension’s starting to build with more people, more construction,” Jamie Licko, president of the River North Art District, told Denverite at the time.

Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates, which led the planning process for the city of Denver’s transit plan in 2016, will direct the study. It’ll start with an analysis of the current conditions as well as future demands, and eventually offer strategies for improvement.

A press release says RiNo MAPS will involve residents and visitors “in unique, interactive ways” that will include a meeting and scavenger hunt in June. Updates on when and how to participate in the study will be posted at rinoartdistrict. org and on RiNo Art District social channels.

Mammogram follow-ups can be fraught with fear An abnormal result doesn’t always mean breast cancer

BY TABATHA STEWART TSTEWART@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It could have been a luxury spa day.

Five women sat gathered in a small waiting room, clad in purple smocks with pink trim, listening to soft music and indulging in individual-sized snacks of cookies and crackers. The women made small talk and joked with each other about the warm February weather, current events. They talked about anything but the reason they were all there. And with good reason. They were all there because they thought they might have breast cancer.

Each had received the letter, email or phone call that every woman dreads — the news that their recent mammogram had come back abnormal. And now, the hours spent at Invision Sally Jobe Imaging Center in Lone Tree seemed like an eternity.

Deborah Willard, 54, received one of those letters, and said the response struck fear in her heart, and left her unable to sleep for nearly three weeks, until she went back for her follow-up appointment.

“It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever had happen,” said Willard, of Denver. “The letter does say that there are a lot of reasons to get called

WHEN AND WHY SHOULD WOMEN GET A MAMMOGRAM? The following are tips from the Society for Women’s Health Research: • Women over the age of 40 should receive a mammogram. After the initial mammogram, women should speak with their doctors to determine the best mammogram for them and decide on the frequency they are both comfortable with.

• Women who have a family history of cancer, as a rule, should begin getting mammograms 10 years earlier than the year the direct relative was diagnosed.

• Women who find a lump or troublesome spot or have any concerns should visit their doctor immediately. back, but honestly all I read was, ‘you might have breast cancer.’”

According to the Society for Women’s Health Research, 47 percent of women who received a mammogram reported being called back for further testing at some point after receiving abnormal mammogram results, triggering feelings of fear, stress and sadness.

“Being afraid is no reason to delay a mammogram, especially if you find a lump or something that concerns you,” said Amy Miller, president and chief executive officer of the SWHR, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that was started with the intention of getting women into trials and providing research on women’s health.

“Mammograms are the best way to detect cancer early, and while most people associate cancer with losing hair, vomiting and being sick, treatments are much less onerous than it used to be. Cancers caught early through a mammogram are highly treatable.”

Mary Freivogel is senior director of operations at Invision Sally Jobe, which has 12 mammogram screening locations throughout the Denver metro area. Their facilities screen thousands of women each year, and according to Freivogel, breast cancer diagnoses are not as common as women think.

“In reality, only five women in 1,000 who get screened will receive a diagnosis of cancer,” said Freivogel. “Out of 1,000 women screened, 100 will be called back for further testing. Sixtyone of those women will find there’s nothing wrong. Twenty will find it’s not likely cancer and be scheduled for a six-month follow-up. Another 19 will receive a biopsy and find no cancer.”

Willard was one of those women who was called back because she had “dense” breasts, which simply means the initial screening mammogram could not provide a clear shot of her breasts. Dense breasts are not uncommon, and addition tests, such as 3D mammography, provide a better picture of what’s going on.

“I was so relieved,” said Willard.

“My breasts are dense, so from here on out I will need 3D mammograms

each year. I’m happy to know nothing was wrong, but I would have preferred them start with the 3D and saved me the time I wasted worrying.”

In addition to identifying cancer early, mammograms also screen for a host of other conditions, which are not life-threatening, including fibrocystic breast disease, dense breasts, fatty breasts and scar tissue. According to the American Cancer Society, other benign lumps or tumors that can be found in the breast include lipoma, hamartoma, hemangioma, hematoma, adenomyoepithelioma and neurofibroma.

The SWHR report also revealed that 46 percent of women fail to make scheduling a mammogram an annual occurrence, citing high cost and lack of insurance as significant barriers.

Non-medical costs, such as time off work, travel or child care are barriers as well.

“A lot of women don’t know that the Affordable Care Act requires that health insurance cover preventative services like mammography at no cost-sharing to the patient,” said Miller.

Preventative mammograms are routine screenings that are recommended for women over 40 years of age.

Screening centers often offer walk-in screenings, and depending on the flow of traffic at the clinic, can often get women in and out the door within an SEE CANCER, P3

WHEN A MAMMOGRAM ISN’T ENOUGH Many women are called back for follow-up tests after a routine mammogram, which often means their breast tissue is dense or certain areas were unclear on the initial mammogram. An estimated 40 percent of women have dense breast tissue, according to a brochure printed by Invision Sally Jobe.

A mammogram can detect cancer in women who have dense breast tissue, but there are other options available that provide better images.

According to the National Cancer Institute, there are several diagnostic tests that can be utilized to ensure breast health and for early detection of cancer: 3D mammography (digital breast tomosynthesis) — This technology, also referred to as “tomo,” creates multiple thin images, or “slices.” The slices allow radiologists to see parts of the breast more clearly than a traditional mammogram.

Screening breast ultrasound (SBU) — Sound waves are used to see through tissues, and shows a different view than mammography. Ultrasound is often used to examine specific portions of the breast, especially if there is an area of concern, such as a lump or pain. SBU allows radiologists to look through dense tissue in order to find small cancers.

Breast magnetic resonance imaging screening (MRI) — MRI is often recommended for women who have a history or breast cancer in the family, or are at additional risk for breast cancer, including those who have a specific mutation in genes such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.

Metro area offers environmentally friendly commuting Multiple methods available to help save money, planet

BIKE TO WORK DAY

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Adam Crow enjoys seeing Colorado’s wildlife on his 40-minute commute to work, which begins in Jefferson County and ends in Gilpin County.

Crow sees deer every day, he said, and often, he also sees elk and bighorn sheep.

But for Crow, the best part of the commute is that he is not actually driving the nearly 34 miles each way.

Crow, of Lakewood, is a head cook at Monarch Casino Black Hawk. He has been riding a casino bus to get to and from work five days a week for the past eight years.

“It’s dependable,” he said, adding he wouldn’t have it any other way. “Unless,” Crow said, “the casino was right next to home.”

About 2.8 million people live in the 10-county Denver metro area, and Crow is far from the only one who has a commute to and from work.

Nowadays, more and more people are joining Crow in seeking alternative modes of transportation that are more environmentally friendly.

And because of mass transit and the emerging popularity of bike share programs throughout the metro area, it’s becoming much easier for people to access ways to commute that have less of a negative impact on the air we breathe.

“Most people in Colorado are conscious about the environment,” said Kahlea Davis, a bartender at Monarch Casino who commutes from Arvada by casino bus twice a week.

“It’s important to be sharing rides and lessening our footprint on earth.”

The casino buses that Crow and Davis ride are large, Crow said. He guessed that on average, about 30 to 40 people ride it per day. Their main reason is probably because it is less costly than driving a car up the mountain every day, he said, but their number two reason is to lessen the impact that the commute has on the environment.

“Riding a bus is one easy way for everybody to be able to pitch in,” he said, adding he also prefers the Regional Transportation District’s light rail for recreational outings such as ball games in downtown Denver.

RTD racks up impressive numbers According to the most recent data available, in 2016, RTD had nearly 101 million boardings, including bus, free MallRide, light rail and Access-a-Ride.

“The heart and mission of RTD are about serving the public to the best degree possible by giving people transit options that best meet their needs,” said Laurie Huff, senior specialist of public affairs for RTD. And because of the amount of passenger trips per year that the RTD provides, it is “inherently beneficial to the environment because it speaks to fewer car trips being taken.”

But in addition to that, RTD is doing

Lone Tree is trying out ofo as a pilot program for a new bike share in the community. The city focused on having the bikes available at primary spots in the city that cater to the commuting public, such as RTD’s Lincoln Station that serves the E, F and R Light Rail lines; apartment communities, shopping destinations and major employers.

its part to help reduce emissions.

“We strive to implement sustainable features into our projects and services whenever possible,” Huff said.

RTD continues to replace old buses with new buses that are powered by clean burning engines equipped with highly advanced emission reduction devices. In the past three years, 570 of these new buses have been put into service. RTD estimates that these new buses reduce exhaust emissions by as much as 90 percent compared to the ones they’ve replaced.

Those buses are in addition to RTD’s 36 mall buses that operate on compressed natural gas in electric-hybrid configuration and its nine hybrid buses that operate in regular city transit service.

Cities across the metro area are also helping out the environment by launching bike share programs, making it easier for people to conveniently check out a bicycle for recreation, everyday errands or as a method to connect with RTD. Denver was one of the first and

launched its B-Cycle program in 2010.

The Golden Bike Library opened for its third season on April 19.

“Bikes help us do our part of reducing how much carbon dioxide is released in the atmosphere and reduces our dependency on fossil fuels,” said Craig Berkley, a bike librarian at the Golden Bike Library. “They are a convenient source of transportation, but, also, bikes are just fun.”

New approach to bike sharing Earlier this year, Lone Tree decided to try a new kind of a bike share program — a dockless bike share called ofo.

“It’s a really interesting new concept,” said Austin Good, Lone Tree’s management analyst.

Unlike Golden’s bike library or Denver’s B-Cycle where people check out a bike and return it to a station, a dockless bike share system such as ofo allows people to rent a bike through an app. The bikes have on-board locks, GPS and cellular connections that are accessed via mobile device to find,

Bike to Work Day is a day each year when anyone capable of bicycling can raise awareness of bicycle commuting.

In Colorado, the event is on June 27 this year.

Registration for participants is open. Anyone who will be participating is encouraged to register so organizers can track the impact of how many vehicles are taken off the road that day. It also helps to ensure future funding for the event and can lead to more support from regional leaders for biking infrastructure projects that make it easier to encourage biking all the time.

Bike to Work Day stations will be offered in communities across the metro area. Breakfast stations are open from 6:30-9 a.m. and water stations are open from 3:30-6 p.m.

Some places will also host a bike party in the evening.

To register and locate a Bike to Work Day station convenient for your commute, visit https://biketoworkday.us. unlock and pay for use.

Ofo approached Lone Tree after it had successfully launched in Aurora, Good said. Because Lone Tree had been talking about implementing a bike share program for some time, “it lined up really well with us,” he said.

Lone Tree is trying out ofo as a pilot program — which began in February and will continue through June — but Good said he thinks it’s going pretty well.

“I’ve seen the bikes going through all stretches of the community,” he said.

Lone Tree focused on having the bikes available at primary spots in the city that cater to the commuting public, such as RTD’s Lincoln Station that serves the E, F and R light rail lines; apartment communities; shopping destinations and major employers.

“We see ourselves at a crossroads for a lot of different transportation options,” Good said. “Biking and walking is just as much of our transportation network as driving a car is.”

Leigh Gunther is a nurse with the Colorado Visiting Nurse Association and riding a bike is her preferred mode of transportation.

“I like being one who is not contributing to traffic congestion or omitting pollution into the air,” she said. “I like doing my part.”

It just turns out that a nice benefit of riding a bike is that it’s easier on your pocketbook, she added, in that it doesn’t require gasoline or the costly maintenance of a car. Plus, you don’t ever have to deal with having to search for a place to park or parking fees, she said.

And on top of it all, riding a bike is a fun way to get exercise, Gunther said.

Gunther lives in downtown Denver and takes her bike any time she can for work, but also for the everyday errands of going to the post office, the grocery store and the library.

Recreationally, Gunther is part of a women’s meetup cycling group who bike together about once a week.

“We’re always looking for new pathways and adventures to explore on a bike,” Gunther said. “It’s feels good to be able to jump on a bike and remember the joy that it brings.”

Peace Cellar aims to bring bliss to Broadway Business features plants, apparel, spiritual offerings and ‘personal development’

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Carrie Moore once owned a business in Littleton called Lewis and Bark that sells food, supplies and accessories for pets.

Now, she says, she wanted to do that same thing — for people.

Enter the Peace Cellar, which recently opened in its new location on the historic 3400 block of South Broadway in downtown Englewood. Offering everything from herbs and teas to skin-care products and crystals, the store at 3494 S. Broadway calls itself a “modern mercantile.”

“The idea is twofold,” said Moore, the store owner. Peace Cellar wants “to help people find their bliss” through tools and products, but it will also offer events and classes on personal development and meditation.

It’s part of what the store puts forth as a mission.

“The more happy people in the world, the more peace,” Moore said.

“It’s really about focusing on the whole person, inside and out — how you look, how you feel.”

Carrie Moore, owner at the Peace Cellar in downtown Englewood, talks about products at the front of the store April 10. Peace Cellar sells apothecary products, kombucha, plants, clothing, crystals, art, gifts and more.

ELLIS ARNOLD Part of a quickly changing downtown area, the shop fits into an influx of new businesses in Englewood’s core.

“It’s exciting to be in Englewood,” Moore said. The area “is gonna go from zero to 60 pretty quick.”

With a flow of young families, Moore said, it’s important for the city to have a “community center.”

“This is what gives your neighborhood character,” Moore said of the downtown area. “You walk in, they

know your name — `How’s your kids, your husband?’ We have new regulars.”

The store offers apothecary products, a change from its old location that was three blocks to the north.

Starting in May, Moore said, Peace Cellar will have readings — think tarot and psychic — every Saturday.

Crystals are what the store sells most of, but kombucha, cold-brew coffee and herbs also adorn the selection.

The shop offers fresh bouquets and

succulents, too.

Its classes are planned to feature outside professionals for small groups, Moore said.

“It’s for helping people find their purpose, what makes them happy,” Moore said. Peace Cellar will also collaborate on events with its neighbors at Samadhi Yoga, which also held an opening in March, Moore said.

Moore wants customers to feel like “they’re walking into our home” — a sentiment that appeared to hold true for Linney Ball, who saw the store while walking by.

“I have extreme social anxiety, and as soon as I stepped in here, that all went away,” said Ball, a 22-year-old from New York who recently moved to Englewood.

She was in the process of making a charm for a friend.

As a newcomer, the downtown area is “busy, but not overwhelming,” Ball said. “I like it here.”

People talk about how brick-andmortar shops are dying, but they give an area personality, Moore said.

“I hope people come out and support,” Moore said.

Peace Cellar held its grand opening at its new location in mid-March.

More businesses that recently opened in the area include Aki Sushi at 3484 S. Broadway, The Tabletop Tap — a bar also offering board games and video games — at 3394 S. Broadway, and the bgood medical-marijuana dispensary at 11 W. Hampden Ave.

Medicare leaves gap in care for patients with opioid addictions Methadone treatment isn’t covered by insurance plan for seniors

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

One in three older Americans with Medicare drug coverage is prescribed opioid painkillers, but for those who develop a dangerous addiction there is one treatment Medicare won’t cover: methadone.

Methadone is the oldest and, experts say, the most effective of the three approved medications used to treat opioid addiction. It eases cravings without an intense high, allowing patients to work with counselors to rebuild their lives.

Federal money is flowing to states to open new methadone clinics through the 21st Century Cures Act, but despite the nation’s deepening opioid crisis, the Medicare drug program for the elderly covers methadone only when prescribed for pain.

Joseph Purvis, a former heroin and prescription painkiller user, said he went into a depressive tailspin because he initially feared he might have to stop methadone treatment when he went on Medicare at 65.

“I was terrified that I might have to leave the program. There’s no way I

wanted to go back to addiction on the streets,” said Purvis, 66, of Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Methadone doesn’t meet the requirement of Medicare’s Part D drug program because it can’t be dispensed in a retail pharmacy.

Instead, in the highly regulated methadone system, patients first are assessed by a doctor, then show up daily at federally certified methadone clinics to take their doses of the pink liquid. Or, like Purvis in Maryland, they prove through repeated urine screens that they have earned the right to weekly take-home doses.

In Congress, a Senate panel looking for ways to counter the opioid epidemic is considering allowing Medicare to cover methadone treatment. Legislation has been introduced in the House, and a White House commission on the opioid epidemic also recommended the change.

The epidemic is “affecting all populations, including our seniors,” said Rep. George Holding, R-North Carolina, a sponsor of the House bill.

“Medicare beneficiaries have among the highest and fastest growing rate of opioid use disorder, but they don’t currently have coverage for the most effective treatment.”

An estimated 300,000 Medicare patients have been diagnosed with opioid addiction, and health officials estimate nearly 90,000 are at high risk for opioid misuse or overdose.

Buprenorphine, a more expensive and slightly less regulated treatment drug, is covered by Medicare but few doctors who accept new Medicare patients have obtained federal waivers to prescribe it. A recent study of Medicare claims found prescriptions for buprenorphine for only 81,000 patients.

More evidence that the crisis affects seniors: Opioid overdoses killed 1,354 Americans ages 65 and older in 2016, about 3 percent of the 42,000 opioid overdoses that year.

Medicare’s policy means clinics often scramble to keep older patients in treatment if they’ve had commercial insurance that covered their care before turning 65, said counselor Angela Caldwell of Montgomery Recovery Services in Rockville, Maryland.

A national organization for methadone clinics says the clinics now have 25,000 Medicare beneficiaries who are either paying out of pocket (about $80 per week) or getting care through state-run Medicaid or block grant programs.

Mark Parrino, president of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, thinks more people would seek methadone treatment if Medicare covered it.

Many older patients rely on surprisingly high doses of opioids for pain relief, which can turn into addiction, said Dr. Anna Lembke, an addiction specialist at Stanford University

School of Medicine.

One of her addiction patients, a woman in her mid-70s, was referred to her because her daily dose of opioids had climbed over the years to a drug level many times higher than that of a typical heroin user, Lembke said.

“She’s had a gradual development of tolerance over many decades and now is on an astronomical dose,” Lembke said. “If you took any random person and gave them (that much) they would die.”

Lembke said she normally wouldn’t consider methadone for this patient because of the stigma associated with the clinics. But Medicare coverage might make them more acceptable, Lembke said, and her patient “might actually do better with methadone.”

In Maryland, Purvis remained on methadone treatment because his income is low enough that he qualifies for the state-federal Medicaid insurance coverage for the poor and disabled. Medicaid covers methadone treatment in Maryland and about 35 other states.

Purvis, who used heroin for more than a decade in his youth, later took opioids prescribed by specialists for back pain. After his pain doctor’s office was shut down for overprescribing, he started methadone treatment.

“Some people think of methadone as a crutch for addiction but it’s not,” Purvis said. “It’s a tool that allows people to live a somewhat normal life.”

Poll finds most Americans think teachers are underpaid Sentiment is measured as educators step up actions to address wages, funding

BY CAROLE FELDMAN AND EMILY SWANSON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Americans overwhelmingly believe teachers don’t make enough money, and half say they’d support paying higher taxes to give educators a raise.

The findings of the new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research come amid recent teacher strikes and other protests, including walkouts in the Denver metro area, over low pay, tough classroom conditions and the amount of money allocated to public schools in several Republican-led states.

Tens of thousands of Arizona teachers voted recently to strike after rejecting an offer of a 20 percent raise, because it didn’t include a vow from state lawmakers not to further cut taxes before providing more money for the state’s schools.

“To educate children and barely get a living is obnoxious,” said Elaine Penman, a company manager in Tucson, Arizona, who added she and others went outside to cheer on protesting teachers who were marching by.

She’s among the 50 percent of Americas who say they’d pay a higher tax bill if it meant more money for teachers.

“I’m a parent and I benefit directly from what teachers do,” said Penman, who has two children in traditional public schools and one in a charter school.

In 2016-2017, the average salary for a public school teacher was $58,950, down slightly from the previous year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

Overall, 78 percent of Americans said that’s not enough. Just 15 percent think teachers are paid the right amount, while 6 percent think they’re paid too much. In a 2010 AP-Stanford poll, 57 percent of Americans said they thought teachers are paid too little.

Americans in states with the lowest average teacher salaries — less than $50,000 a year — were slightly more likely to think teachers were paid too little and that the national average should be an important factor in determining salaries.

The AP-NORC poll found that parents and those without children are about equally likely to think teachers are paid too little. It’s a sentiment that crosses party lines, too. Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats, 78 percent of independents and 66 percent of Republicans think teacher salaries are too low.

Slightly more than half of Americans — 52 percent — also approve of teachers leaving the classroom to strike in their search for higher pay, while 25 percent disapprove. Among those who say they’ve heard about the recent teacher protests, 80 percent say

they approve of such tactics.

The recent run of teacher protests began in March in West Virginia, where teachers won a raise after going on strike. The strategy soon spread to Oklahoma, Kentucky, Colorado and Arizona, where educators joined together online and have held increasingly frequent protests during the past six weeks.

The poll found that 51 percent of Americans have been paying at least some attention to the protests. People living in states with the lowest teacher salaries were more likely to have heard about the protests than those in states with the highest teacher pay.

Americans believe state and local governments share responsibility with teachers and their unions for the disruptions caused by the strikes.

Vernita Grimes, 68, of the District of Columbia, said teachers aren’t making enough money for the work they do and she supports them having the right to strike, “even though I know kids are losing valuable teaching time.”

But Caitlyn Scott, 27, of Kent, Ohio, said teachers are earning “about what they should,” and she opposes strikes by teachers.

“I think they kind of committed to being there for the entire school year,” she said.

Half of Americans would be willing to shoulder the cost of paying teachers more and providing more money to schools via higher taxes, with only 26 percent opposed. But while 69 percent of Democrats say yes to higher taxes for schools, only 38 percent of Republicans and 30 percent of independents say the same.

People living in urban areas are more likely than those in rural areas to support such a tax increase, 57 percent to 40 percent.

Stephen White, a high school teacher in Marysville, California, said raising taxes is “probably the only way” to pay for teacher raises. “Look at states that cut taxes and some districts had to go to four-day school weeks.”

That had happened in Oklahoma, where teachers staged a nine-day walkout earlier this month to protest the level of classroom funding.

White said he used to be anti-union when he worked in the private sector, but changed his position when he became a teacher. He said salaries don’t take into account all that teachers do, especially outside the normal school day.

“The private sector makes double what we do,” he said. He acknowledged that strikes are disruptive. “We don’t like that, but sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures.”

The AP-NORC poll of 1,140 adults was conducted April 11-16 using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 4.0 percentage points.

Practice food safety at spring gatherings STAFF REPORT

Proper handling, cooking and serving of food is essential to prevent foodborne illnesses from striking your spring celebration.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that foodborne illness causes 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths each year in the United States, according to a news release from the USDA. The USDA offers four basic steps to help ensure food safety.

Having the right kitchen equipment will make your life easier when practicing four food safety steps: clean, separate, cook and chill.

Cleaning hands frequently with warm soapy water, especially before and after handling raw food; thoroughly wash cutting boards, countertops and utensils with hot soapy water.

Using separate cutting boards

for raw and ready-to-eat foods. For example, use one cutting board for produce and a different one for raw meat and poultry. That way, you are preventing cross contamination between raw and ready-to-eat-food.

Using a food thermometer when cooking to measure the internal temperature of meats, poultry, and seafood and egg products before serving will help ensure that they are ready to eat. Look for the USDA Safe Minimum Internal Temperatures chart to help you determine if your food is safe to eat.

Perishable food should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours. Make sure your cold food is kept cold (40°F or below) by serving it in smaller portions and refilling, or by putting the food containers over ice. Hot food should be kept hot (140°F or above); you can keep the food warm by serving in warming trays or using a slow cooker.

VOICES Puppy love is in bloom as plants are upstaged

M

ay flowers are on the dining room table. They don’t come from my garden. They come from a grocery store.

I was diagnosed with a brown thumb. QUIET I once had house DESPERATION plants. Not a lot of them, but enough to make the place look like nature had come indoors. One by one, they lost interest in me and drooped, sagged, and lost their color.

There is plenty of Craig Marshall color around here: my paintings, all Smith stacked and waiting for the call from The Met that will never come.

But color out of the tube is not the same as color out of the ground.

This year I decided to buy some fresh flowers once a week.

This week I have a flowering anthurium plant. It is beautiful, exotic and erotic. After I got it home, I read the little soil sign that came with it, and found out something I didn’t know.

“It has an air purifying effect.”

Who figured that out, and how?

“Several anthuriums in a room reduce the harmful substances in buildings by 50 percent in 24 hours.”

However, mine is incapable of reducing the harmful substances manufactured by a dachshund puppy.

That’s why we have “Teresa,” who is a dog whisperer, a giraffe whisper, and a mountain lion whisperer.

Her clients call her Mother Teresa, she said, and Jennifer and I found out why almost immediately.

The Lunging Dervish, the Red Zephyr, the Flying Tempest became a polite and well-behaved young squire, willing to cooperate in abeyance.

I looked at her, I looked at Harry, I looked back at her, and said, “How did you do that?”

She came with treats: lots of them, in her pocket, and I asked her, “What’s in those?”

She assured me that she wasn’t drugging the little fiend.

Harry behaved like a show dog, until Teresa left. Then we made eye contact, and he danced on the ceiling again, just like Fred Astaire once did.

I have to be honest with you.

Harry’s behavior — at least some of it — is welcome around here.

He has speed and energy and zip, and turns into a dynamo several times a day.

I had those things years ago. Now I reminisce.

I am childless and no one’s uncle or grandfather.

Harry is as close as I will get from here on out to a son.

When it comes to training some of his behavior out of him, I am a “C” student. That’s where Jennifer comes in.

She’s has measured patience, but

only so much of it.

One thing we have in common: no one yells at Harry, and no one raises a hand either.

Teresa sends me videos and articles and studies, and they all point toward a productive and caring and loving relationship between the owner and the dog.

By the way, the dog just came into the office and looked up at me. That’s all it takes, sometimes, to wick away the solemnities of the Real World, at least for a few minutes.

Flowers have a therapeutic effect, like pets do, but I’ll take a dog any day to provide the greater effect of a response.

Harry has a very therapeutic tail. A few wags at the right time make the day as bright as a bouquet.

Good, better and best options and outcomes

W

henever I go into an ice cream shop, notice I didn’t say “if ” I go into an ice cream shop, it’s when I go into an ice cream shop because anyone who knows me knows it is only a matter of “when” and not “if.” WINNING Anyway, whenever I go into an ice cream WORDS shop I am evaluating my options. Good would be a single scoop cone or cup, a better option would be a double scoop waffle cone, and the best option would be a banana split. And sometimes, if I am Michael Norton watching my calories and sugar, I find that although I think the best approach or option is a banana split, it really is a small cone or cup.

In almost every situation or opportunity that we face, we can probably come up with several game plans or strategies to accomplish the task at hand. We can also agree that in most

DENVER Since 1926

cases there is a right way and a wrong way to go about things. The wrong way is usually quickly found out, and we just hope that we find it out before we have gone too far, and we are forced to start all over. And the right way could also include a good, better, and best approach as we consider our options before moving forward.

I like the good, better, best thought process and approach. It makes me think about my time and resources that are available and what my real desired outcome is for a particular project or initiative. It also forces me in most cases to clearly see that I just don’t want a good outcome, or a better outcome, I want the very best outcome. It keeps me from settling for something less than what I wanted.

Now in some instances, accepting a good approach is the very best approach we can take. There may be a project that needs to be completed and knowing that we are striving for as good of an outcome as we can get at that time means that we follow the strategy and approach that will lead us to that good outcome. Did we want something better? Yes. Did we want

doing things better already, could we stop and think about what we could do that would be the absolute best? Our relationships and our loved ones are so very important, and if we only ever settle for doing the good things, we are shortchanging those we love the most by not giving them our absolute best.

And if we would just hit the pause button long enough to ask ourselves if we are doing good, better, or best, we will probably see the best option more clearly and can then do our very best for those we love so much.

So how about you? What does your good, better, best approach look like?

the very best outcome? Absolutely. But sometimes we have to take advantage of what the world or the situation or timing is offering and accept that a good outcome is better than a bad outcome, and sometimes it is the best outcome for that moment.

Here’s another example. Let’s say I had intended on getting my full workout in, but unfortunately another urgent and important commitment came up last minute. Instead of having 60 minutes in the gym, my time would only be 20 minutes. Not the best outcome I had planned for, but a good option that would give me 20 minutes of intense cardio rather than no workout at all. For me a good approach is 30 minutes in the gym, a better approach is 45 minutes, and the best approach is 60 minutes. A bad approach is zero minutes. So in this case, the good option of 20 minutes was indeed the best option.

Marijuana extract being eyed for U.S. medical market GW Pharmaceuticals seeks approval for its version of cannabidiol

BY MATTHEW PERRONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A closely watched medicine made from the marijuana plant reduces seizures in children with severe forms of epilepsy and warrants approval in the United States, health officials said April 17.

British drugmaker GW Pharmaceuticals is seeking permission to sell its purified form of an ingredient found in cannabis — one that doesn’t get users high — as a medication for rare, hard-to-treat seizures in children.

If successful, the company’s liquid formula would be the first government-approved drug derived from the cannabis plant in the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration’s approval would technically limit the treatment to a small group of epilepsy patients. But doctors would have the option to prescribe it for other uses and it could spur new pharmaceutical research and interest into other cannabis-based products.

Man-made versions of a different marijuana ingredient have previously been approved for other purposes.

The FDA posted its review of the experimental medication Epidiolex ahead of a public meeting April 19, in which a panel of outside experts voted to approve the medicine after reviewing its safety and effectiveness. It’s a non-binding recommendation that the FDA will consider in its final decision by late June.

Patients taking the treatment had fewer seizures, according to the FDA’s internal review posted online. Scientists concluded that GW Pharmaceutical’s submission “appears to support

sizable new apartment block.

In 2010, city officials had designated the area as appropriate for three-story multi-use development, a status that has kept the door open for slot homes and intense development in the neighborhood.

“It’s a minor miracle that it has not radically transformed,” said Councilman Rafael Espinoza, who thinks that the new designation has had “atrocious” effects elsewhere in the city.

The new rezoning makes a few significant changes.

First, it largely eliminates the possibility of building apartments in the area, though it still allows for duplexes and row-homes. The change also limits buildings to 2.5 floors, shrinking the height limit from 40 feet to 30 or 35 feet.

Achieving that change took two and a half years of work, including knocking on nearly every door in the

approval” despite some potential side effects including risks of liver injury.

More than two dozen states allow marijuana use for a variety of ailments, but the FDA has not approved it for any medical use. In 2016, the agency recommended against easing federal restrictions on marijuana. The U.S. continues to classify marijuana as a high-risk substance with no medical use, alongside other illicit drugs like heroin and LSD. For years, desperate patients and parents have pushed for wider access to medical marijuana products for a host of conditions including pain, post-traumatic stress disorder and epilepsy, with only anecdotal stories and limited studies on their side.

But studies conducted by GW Pharmaceuticals have begun to change that picture.

Across three studies involving more than 500 patients, Epidiolex generally cut the number of monthly seizures by about 40 percent, compared with reductions between 15 and 20 percent for patients taking a dummy medicine.

Most patients in the study were already taking at least three other medications to try and control their seizures.

Epidiolex is essentially a pharma-

ceutical-grade version of cannabidiol, or CBD oil, which some parents have used for years to treat children with epilepsy. CBD is one of more than 100 chemicals found in the cannabis plant and it doesn’t contain THC, the ingredient that gives marijuana its mind-altering effect.

CBD oil is currently sold online and in specialty shops across the U.S., though its legal status remains murky.

Most producers say their oil is made from hemp, a plant in the cannabis family that contains little THC and can be legally farmed in a number of states for clothing, food and other uses.

GW Pharmaceuticals declined to comment on the price of the drug ahead of an approval decision. Wall Street analysts estimate it could cost more than $25,000 per year, with annual sales eventually reaching $1 billion.

A doctor who treats children with epilepsy says it’s important to have an FDA-approved version of CBD. “I think it needs to be approved because everyone is using it across the internet without knowing the safety ... and no one is watching the interactions with other drugs,” said Dr. Joan Conry of Children’s National Health

neighborhood and tracking down the absentee landlords who own about half the lots. They argued that the change would bring the neighborhood in line with plans for the area — and, moreover, they tapped into simmering anger at the pace of change in the area.

“A few older ladies said, `I’m sick of developers knocking on my door and trying to buy my property out from under me,’” said Maggie Miller, a resident who helped organize the change. (She and Hobein also credited Deb Jacobson as an organizer.) “As we talked to more and more people, for me what emerged was just this growing appreciation for the diversity of housing stock and the diversity of people.”

Some people hated the idea.

Several questioned whether it would hurt their property values or limit their ability to redevelop. One speaker on April 23, Samuel Hargraves, argued that it was an unnecessary new limit.

“We are not blocks of quaint, singlestory Victorians. We are not Curtis Park,” he said, noting that large

structures had already swept into the area. Buildings alongside the Little Triangle are allowed to rise as high as five, eight or even 30 floors. Hargraves also asked whether it was wise to limit development barely a block from the 25th and Welton streets light-rail station.

Still, others fought back against the idea that it was a “downzoning,” saying developers could still fit new buildings, and in some cases multiple units, onto the lots.

“Density is not the right to a big house,” said Councilwoman At-large Robin Kniech. “Density is about fitting more people or households into an area. You can’t even tell me you’ll get fewer bedrooms.”

In an interview, though, Espinoza said that in some cases the change would limit unit density by eliminating apartment building opportunities.

“You definitely lose the ability to acquire a bunch of those small homes and build a substantial apartment building, which would be considerably more units per acre than rowhomes,” said Espinoza.

System in Washington, who was not involved in the studies.

Conry and other researchers say it’s not yet clear why CBD reduces seizures in some patients.

GW Pharmaceuticals makes its drug from cannabis plants that are specially bred to contain high levels of CBD. It’s seeking approval for two rare forms of childhood epilepsy — Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes.

Common side effects included diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue and sleep problems. FDA reviewers flagged a more serious issue with potential liver injury, but said doctors could manage the risk by monitoring patients’ enzyme levels.

SHUTTERSTOCK

He supported the change because he felt it would stop new buildings from overshadowing the eclectic mix of brick houses and bungalows. (It’s also worth noting that the earlier 2010 change also reduced the potential height of buildings in the area.)

“What that zoning says is, `You cannot come in and build a 40-foot high box … three stories tall with a doghouse on top, where everyone’s overlooking all those old houses,’” he said. “It gets oppressive for people living in their houses.”

Pryor argued that the change would keep property values lower by discouraging redevelopment to a degree.

Previously, he said, people were “buying the land underneath the house.”

Still, it seems unlikely that houses in the area will drop significantly in price. One homeowner paid $675,000 for a property on Glenarm Place in 2015, according to property records.

SUMMER CONCERT LINEUPS

the summer

with national, local musicians Options abound for outdoor concerts around Denver metro area

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lakewood resident Tim Litherland and his wife love spending their summer evenings under the stars at Lakewood’s Heritage Center, sipping on a libation and listening to live music under the stars.

“Even if we didn’t live in the Lakewood area, we’d come to see these concerts,” said Tim Litherland, a season ticket-holder to Lakewood’s Sounds Exciting! Summer Concert Series. “We really enjoy the setting, people we’re surrounded with, and the variety of musicians we get

to see perform.”

During the summer months, it seems like every city around the metro area takes to a park or outdoor amphitheater to host outdoor concerts.

So that means music fans in the area are spoiled for choice when it comes to their evening plans.

“These concerts are the way music is supposed to be heard,” said Jen Reinhardt, the Town of Castle Rock’s event specialist. Castle Rock recently announced its third summer concert series season. “We have one of the most amazing acoustic setups, and when you add the views, it’s hard to beat.”

The cities usually split into two categories — those featuring nationally known touring performers, and those showcasing the variety of talented locally based musicians.

oulder physician Mark Strom remembers his time working with fellow physician John Sarno in New York City very clearly.

“I almost couldn’t believe the patients he was seeing were getting better,” Strom said. “The patients themselves couldn’t believe it was really happening. Which makes his story one really worth telling.”

Sarno pioneered COMING methods for treating ATTRACTIONS chronic pain that included the psychological roots of pain.

Known as Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS), this is a psychosomatic illness causing chronic back, neck, and limb pain which is not relieved by standard Clarke Reader medical treatments.

Other illness like gastrointestinal problems, dermatological disorders and repetitive-strain injuries may also be TMS related.

While his ideas were controversial and remain that way, more people are subscribing to the notion that a d person’s unconscious plays a big role f in their physical health. o Now, Sarno’s story is being told in the documentary, “All the Rage,” a newA film by directors Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley. The film uses Sar- m no’s work to tackle the pain epidemic f and resulting opioid crisis facing the S a country. It features interviews with celebrity patients including Howard f Stern, Larry David and Bernie SandS ers.

“We are not saying that it is ‘all in W your head’ because the symptoms and H pain are real. Only that it may start in M your head and, therefore, some of the s a answers may also be in your head,” o said Hawley said in a statement.

CONCERTS FROM PAGE 10

Venues like the Arvada Center, Castle Rock’s Amphitheater at Philip S. Miller Park, Denver’s Botanic Gardens and Littleton’s Hudson Gardens all bring in names that almost everyone will recognize, like Pat Benatar, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Amos Lee and Sheryl Crow.

One of the most exciting concerts for Reinhardt is David Pack’s Legends Live on Saturday, Aug. 18. The show features a kind of supergroup, made up of Gary Wright (singer of “Dream Weaver” and more), John Elefante (former lead singer of Kansas), Jim Peterik (founder and singer of Ides of March, songwriter in .38 Special, and formerly of Survivor), David Pack (former lead singer of Ambrosia) and jazz pianist David Benoit.

“We make sure all our concerts are family-friendly events that are great options for a child’s first concert,” Reinhardt added.

“We want to make it an easy night for everyone, one that turns into a great time for everybody.”

The key to a successful concert season is variety, and that’s what every venue, no matter the reach, strives for.

That’s why audiences will see a blend of everything from bluegrass and rock to jazz and R&B.

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Justin Townes Earle at Gothic Theatre Justin Townes Earle comes from quite a pedigree — his father is altcountry legend Steve Earle and he

Lakewood’s Heritage Center will be full of concert goers for the annual Sounds Exciting!

Summer Concert Series.

COURTESY PHOTO “We’re really excited about the range of performers we’re hosting this year. This is our most diverse line-up in a long time,” said Philip Sneed, the Arvada Center’s executive

director. “So often, you have to choose between being outdoors or enjoying the arts, but not during the summer.”

Just because the performers at venues like the Broomfield Amphi-

is named after songwriting legend Townes Van Zandt. Since his 2007 debut EP, “Yuma,” Earle has released a strong, steady slew of albums. His most recent, “Kids in the Street,” came out last year, and is one of his best efforts to date.

Now Justin Townes Earle will be stopping by the Gothic Theatre, 3263 S. Broadway in Englewood, at 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 10.

A new husband and father, Earle shows off his most mature songwriting muscles to date on “Kids in the Street.”

“When I wrote songs in the past,” he said in a statement. “I was looking in on what I was feeling, but this record’s more about looking outward on what’s happening and writing about subjects like gentrification and inner-city strife. This record also has more of a soul influence to it, and it’s got a deeper connection to the blues than anything I’ve done before.”

For tickets visit www.gothictheatre. com/events/detail/350644.

Cash prizes are awarded for first, second and third place. Prize amounts are based on total registration fees.

This is a two-person team tournament with 25 team slots available for watercraft and 25 team slots available for shore fishing. Registration, which costs $60 per team and includes the park entry fee, is required by May 11 and can be completed online at Lakewood.org/FishingTournament, at Bear Creek Lake Park or at Lakewood recreation centers. Fishing licenses are required and all boats undergo a mandatory boat inspection. Boats must arrive with a valid green seal the day of the tournament.

Spend a Saturday at Bear Creek Lake Park Front range anglers can get an early jump on fishing season and compete for a top prize in Lakewood.

The seventh annual Trout Fishing Tournament is at Lakewood’s Bear Creek Lake Park, 15600 W. Morrison Road, on Saturday, May 12. Check in is at 5:30 a.m., and the tournament kicks off at 6:30 a.m. and ends at 2 p.m.

Boat and shoreline fishing teams can both compete at the reservoir, which is home to naturally reproducing brown trout and is stocked with rainbow trout annually by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The tournament focuses on catching these fish and the winner will be determined by weight.

Laughs a minute for local moms Mother’s Day is just over a week away, and for those looking to spend the holiday crying should head to downtown Denver. Crying tears of laughter, that is.

Colorado natives Shayna Ferm and Tracey Tee — better known as The Pump and Dump Show — are hosting their sixth annual Mother’s Day Eve show to the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place in Denver. The show is at 8 p.m. on May 12.

Planners like Rebecca Gushen, community events coordinator with Lakewood’s heritage Center, spent countless hours listening to local musicians and crafting the perfect season.

One such artist that Gushen found that she thought would be great for Lakewood audiences is Rob Drabkin, who will be performing on Aug. 8. She heard his performances and thought he would be a wonderful new voice to share.

“Of course, you want to bring in artists that people know and enjoy, but we also really like bringing new artists that our audiences hasn’t heard before,” Gushen said. “We have some great world music and Afro-funk artists who will be performing for audiences this summer.”

Most of these concert venues offer more than just great music — there are typically food trucks, beer gardens or custom created drinks, and at some of local shows, there’s a chance to meet the performers.

“There’s an energy in these experiences that you don’t get anywhere else,” Litherland said. “When there’s not a bad seat in the house, it’s hard to go wrong.”

It’s a sacrifice bunt it can pay off High school baseball teams reap rewards by embracing an old-school play

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In today’s high school baseball, most of the attention is focused on pitch counts, hitting and base running.

A key sacrifice bunt often goes unnoticed. But it remains an important part of baseball, one that can help win games.

“Bunting is extremely important,” said Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson. “They don’t bunt as much as they used to, but it’s still a big part of our game, particularly in close games when you have to advance runners.

“A lot of teams have kind of gotten away from bunting, trying to play the big fly ball. I’m still old school. I like to hit and run, and I like to bunt.”

Bunting isn’t glamorous and getting a productive out doesn’t draw the

same attention as a home run.

“I’ve seen a lot of bunting this year, honestly,” said D’Evelyn coach Dan Porreco. “Bunting is still alive.

Nowdays, kids don’t like to bunt. They don’t want to sacrifice their at-bat. It could be a great weapon, but I don’t know, they don’t like to sacrifice.

“That part of the game has changed... They want to hit it. They want the glory. “ Bunting, however, can decide games the same as a walk-off hit.

“When you go up and down the order of nine guys, all your guys have to be able to hit the ball and bunt because it’s part of high school baseball,” said Arapahoe coach Jim Dollaghan. “Our guys have the green light to bunt any time they want to.

“When we do our bunting drills, we talked about the importance of it.

When I give the bunt signal, the player should be proud that I have confidence in him, in the team game, to move the guy over.”

SEE BUNT, P15

Arapahoe’s Hunter Jackson pushes a sacrifice bunt down the first base line. He admits that bunting is sometimes overlooked but very important to help a team win baseball games.

BUNT FROM PAGE 13

A sacrifice bunt, also called a sacrifice hit, is not counted as an at-bat.

A sacrifice is when a batter bunts the ball before there are two outs in a manner that allows a runner or runners on base to advance to another base.

The batter almost always sacrifices his chance to a get a hit, but sometimes reaches base because of an error or fielder’s choice. If runners still advance in that situation, the play is still scored a sacrifice and not an error or fielder’s choice.

“Bunting in baseball is one of the most important things because if you get a guy on base, the way to move him over is to bunt and get him in scoring position for the next guy up,” said Arapahoe junior Hunter Jackson.

“It is overlooked and some people look down on it , but a bunt is really a way to help out the team.

Jazz orchestra coming to Lone Tree Arts Center Basie, Ellington, Wonder wrote musical pieces to be performed

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“I started the CJRO (Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra) out of respect and affection for this art form,” said Lone Tree resident Art Bouton, who is professor of saxophone and co-chair of jazz studies at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music. In 2012, the orchestra debuted at Lone Tree Arts Center, drawing musicians Bouton considered to be “the best players around … We’ve played this music before, but it is entirely different when it is in a concert setting with great players and an attentive audience.”

The CJRO will return to the Lone Tree Arts Center for a concert called “The Duke, The Count and Stevie too!” at 7:30 May 11, with support from the Lone Tree Cultural Foundation.

Expect to hear music from the libraries of Duke Ellington and Count Basie: “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing,” I Can’t Stop Loving You,” “My Cherie Amour,” and new arrangements from the orchestra’s upcoming recording of Wonder’s music: “Overjoyed, the Music of Stevie Wonder.” In 2016, the CJRO

It was released internationally.

CJRO vocalist Heidi Schmidt will perform with the band on May 11.

Schmidt, who has sung with the band for five years, was born in Denver, then moved to Saudi Arabia and Romania with her family. She returned to Denver to complete studies in music and international relations at The

University of Denver. She teaches at Red Rocks Community College and continues to sing professionally.

Included in the CJRO roster, in addition to Bouton: co-chair of jazz studies at Lamont School of Music and Maynard Ferguson alum Steve Weist, trombone; pianist Eric Gunnison, who has played for jazz vocalist Carmen MacRae and with the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Band; trombonist and Woody Herman alum Paul McKee; drummer Mike Marlier; and bassist Bijou Barbarosa …

attended Heritage High School and played with the 1983-84 McDonald’s All American High School Jazz Band.

He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and recorded with jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut as part of Phil Wilson’s Rainbow Band, which led to an offer to go on tour with Buddy Rich, embarking on an impressive career. He plays lead trumpet with Wynton Marsalis’ Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and is a founding member of Convergence, which often performs at Dazzle Jazz, and had an eight-week residency at Nocturne Jazz and Supper Club in Denver.

During earlier career years, he helped in south area schools with other local jazz professionals and educators in after-school education programs we visited.

Bouton said the orchestra has performed for large audiences at the Arvada Center, PACE Center, Lakewood Cultural Center and the Rialto Theater in Loveland in the past four years. PACE has also featured a smaller ensemble in the renovated Schoolhouse Theater on several occasions.

Looking ahead: the CJRO will perform in Arvada Center’s amphitheater on July 21, featuring vocalist Steve Lippia, recreating the famous recording “Basie and Sinatra, Live at the Sands.” In the next season the orchestra will present “The Music of Count Basie with Ray Charles” at the PACE Center and four themed concerts at the Arvada Center.
