Finalists for superintendent expected by October Short timetable leaves some advocates afraid choice won’t reflect enough deliberation

undertake the task to blitz-frame at least two homes during the week.

“Anyone who wants to volunteer can help and no construction skills are required,” she said. “We have individual volunteers sign up to help as well as companies that let employees help us build homes for those in need.”

On July 25, about 10 employees of Wells Fargo were among the volunteers working on the home that will be part of Sheridan Square.

Littleton resident Cara Hyndman was one of the Wells Fargo employees working on the project.

The Denver school board agreed July 30 on a tight timeline for finding a new superintendent, leaving some parents, students, and advocates to wonder whether there will be enough time to do the deep community engagement the board has promised.

“They’re saying a lot about being transparent, and they’re making it sound like a group decision, so I want to see where we come into the process,” said student Maya Contreras, a rising junior at Denver’s South High School.

The ultimate decision lies with the seven-member Denver school board, and Contreras was in the audience July 30 when the board passed a resolution laying out the timeline. It says the deadline for superintendent candidates to submit an application will be Sept. 14, and the board will name the finalist or finalists by Oct. 15, less than three months from now.

Outgoing Superintendent Tom Boasberg announced in July that he’s stepping down after nearly 10 years leading the district.

Habitat homes help families Volunteers, including local residents, have completed 53 of the units

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

The buzz of power saws and the rap-rap-rap of hammers filled the air July 25 as crews continued work on the Sheridan Square Habitat for Humanity project.

Robyn Burns, director of Denver Habitat marketing and communications, said Sheridan Square is the largest single project in Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver history.

The development is located southeast of West Kenyon Avenue and South Knox Court.

“The project will include 63 Habitat homes,” she said. “Fifty-three units have been completed and about half the completed homes are occupied. Construction on the project began two years ago and we expect to complete the project by the end of next year.”

Habitat for Humanity builds homes in the United States and 70 foreign countries. The website states the vision of Habitat for Humanity is a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

Burns said July 25 was part of Women Work Week for Habitat and about 200 women were expected to

Dog-friendly eatery rules still taking shape Proposal to keep food, canines separate leads to much angst

BY ALLEN TELLIS DENVERITE.COM

Dog-friendly restaurants are pretty new to the Denver scene, and while the city tries to figure out what to do with them, there are a couple more opportunities for you to influence the guidelines that will eventually govern private businesses that want to allow off-leash dogs on their premises.

In Denver, off-leash dogs are illegal everywhere except for public dog parks and private residences. That leaves businesses that host dogs — like dog-friendly restaurants, and doggy daycares — in an uncertain position, as they technically are operating illegally.

Denver Animal Protection, part of the city’s public health and environment department, is working on new proposed rules to govern dogs in these areas, according to Alice Nightengale, director of Denver Animal Protection.

“We’re trying to create a mechanism by which the dogs can be offleash in enclosures in establishments that are interested in having them,”

Nightengale said.

They also want to use the additional time to get community feedback.

DAP set up several meetings to talk with community members about offleash dogs in a variety of settings. A meeting on July 25 specifically dealt with how the new regulations would impact restaurants, and that’s when things got, let’s just say, intense.

The proposal included language that would ban food and beverage in private establishments with off-leash dogs, which led to significant pushback from concerned dog owners in the crowd.

“We say no food in the enclosure because when dogs are off-leash, they can be food aggressive,” Nightengale said.

One major theme among those concerned about the regulations was a fear of an overreach of oversight by a government agency in the affairs of private businesses.

“Every other thing you mentioned seems to be unnecessary,” said Larry Chisvin, a longtime Denver resident and dog owner. “I would urge you to make it as loose as possible because you’re dealing with a private establishment and people don’t have to go there.”

Others were concerned that by not allowing things like food and beverage they were taking away people’s ability to continue to create and use

businesses that they said there is a clear demand for.

“I think this type of establishment, of the off-leash mixed with food and beverage, is the type of business people want, right,” said Desiree Blank, also a Denver resident and dog owner.

Chisvin also reiterated that even without an abundance of regulations, businesses that did not behave well would be eliminated by market forces.

Attendees argued that people would simply not go to establishments that did not maintain orderly facilities, sanitized and with a staff equipped to handle any misbehaving pups.

“In a sense, you’re saying you’re going to make a law that is smarter than a bunch of individuals taking their own dogs to a place. If it’s dirty, if it’s dangerous they’re not going to go there,” said Chisvin. “Make the fence so they can’t go out and everything else ought to be as minimal as possible and leave it up to the establishment.”

Every member of the crowd said those positive features like having a well-trained staff and clean surroundings were features held by the only restaurant that would be immediately impacted by these looming proposals, the Watering Bowl.

Justin Henry, owner and founder of Watering Bowl, has been vocally and adamantly opposed to these new regulations and is worried that if implemented they would effectively

close his business. “The food and drink on patio, if they have strict enforcement of the rules, that will close the Watering Bowl. Ninety-eight percent of our business is from that patio, if they adopt these regulations it will close us and keep in mind that is with almost a spotless performance record. No attacks, no insurance claims, why are you attacking us?” said Henry.

Two more meetings happened on this subject The final two meetings, which took place July 26, dealt with homeowner associations and rental companies and how they could perceive offleash dog enclosures affecting their businesses. The meetings were significantly smaller than the meeting about restaurants and was mainly focused on how property owners could operate within the new code and give themselves the opportunity to have these enclosures.

According to Nightengale, the timeline for the implementation of these regulations is quite a ways away and in fact, she doesn’t anticipate a proposal being presented to their board for at least two to three months down the road. They will take some time to reach out to some stakeholders who might have missed out on these meetings and continue to accept comment as they look to solidify the guidelines they will submit to their board.

An experienced executive in diverse industries and a leader in mission-driven Catholic organizations has been named president and chief executive officer of Catholic Charities of Denver.

Darren A. Walsh brings 30 years of executive experience in building and managing financial services and technology companies, as well as a deep commitment to his Catholic faith and faith-based apostolates.

He will take the helm of Catholic Charities in late August.

“It’s a privilege and honor to step into and lead Catholic Charities of Denver and help build the future of an organization that provides vital charitable work in the community,” Walsh said in a news release.

“Catholic Charities of Denver has a stellar reputation around the country for being exceptional and innovative in serving the poor and those in need. I look forward to applying my gifts and charisms to lead the organization and reinforce the excellent work that is already occurring.”

Archbishop Samuel J. Aquila of the Archdiocese of Denver expressed his support for the appointment.

“I am very happy to welcome Mr. Darren Walsh as the new CEO of Catholic Charities,” Aquila said in the release. “He has a deep faith, a love for the poor, and a wealth of experience that will assist the Archdiocese of Denver in this vital ministry.”

Walsh is the chief operating officer of the Augustine Institute based in Greenwood Village, where he lives with his family and three sons. He has a bachelor’s degree from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, and an MBA from the MIT Sloan School of Management in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

He also is chairman of the board of Arrupe Jesuit High School, which provides economically disadvantaged students a college preparatory education. He previously served on the Seeds of Hope finance committee. He is a parishioner at Most Precious Blood Catholic Church, where he previously served on the parish council.

Aging like a fine wine A changing south Denver remains a desirable area to live

Tim O’Byrne and his dog Oliver sit in the living room of his home in Washington Park West.

His home was built in 1929.

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tim O’Byrne remembers how he and his wife were the young couple in the neighborhood when they moved into their West Washington Park home 20 years ago. He’s happy to see the demographics change as more young families move in.

With the rising home values in Washington Park, though, he’s not sure he could afford to buy his home today.

“We could sell our house and make a lot of money, but we couldn’t get back in,” O’Byrne said. “We could live like kings in Iowa.”

In the 10 years since the Great Recession, Washington Park — known in large part for its popular namesake park — and other south Denver neighborhoods have seen a huge boost in home costs. In January 2009, the median selling price for south Denver was $275,000. By June of this year, that number had jumped to $472,500, according to data from the Snyder Realty Team in Denver. But despite the expensive price tags, the neighborhoods

still draw new buyers, and long-term residents say they couldn’t envision themselves anywhere else.

“It’s a combination of everything.

I like the older neighborhoods, the trees,” O’Byrne said. “You can feel like you’re not in the middle of the city, but (it’s) 10 minutes away.”

A sharp rise in prices As a real estate agent in Colorado since 2004, Platt Park resident Nancy Levine has had an insider’s view of how the housing market has changed.

Although many homeowners want to sell because of the lucrative market, she said, many also realize that selling for profit means they may have to relocate outside of Denver, where housing costs aren’t quite as high.

Levine, now a broker associate with Liv Sotheby’s International Realty, lived in Greenwood Village in the 1980s when she was growing up.

She remembers her mother, also a real estate agent, talking about how she would succeed — by selling a

$100,000 home.

“She literally thought that would mean she was in the big time,” said Levine, who bought her first home for $150,000 in Bonnie Brae in 1994 and whose home sales today range from $300,000 to multi-million dollar homes.

These days, finding a home near Washington Park at an affordable price for first-time home buyers can be difficult and exhausting, she said.

The median sales price hovers at about $735,000. It is not uncommon for a house to have nearly 20 offers within the first week. Homes spend an average of 20 days on the market, Levine said.

On “the east side of Wash Park it’s really hard to find something that’s not really in bad shape for under $900,000,” she said. “There’s a lot of first-time home buyers that have just given up.”

While the spike in costs is universal around most of Denver and its nearby suburbs, such as Arvada, Levine said some neighborhoods west of Interstate 25 can still be in the affordable range. She shows first-time buyers homes in Denver’s Athmar and Harvey Park neighborhoods, as well as Barnum and Barnum West.

Prices there sit at about $300,000, Levine said.

Amenties, development and historic value Access to Washington Park itself is a huge draw for many residents.

The 165-acre park, bounded by Franklin and Downing streets to the east and west, surrounds Smith and Grasmere lakes. It has walking paths, grilling options and space for lawn games and weekend soccer and volleyball matches. Joggers and dog-walkers can enjoy the mile-long park’s paths.

“I’ve been going to that park for 50 years,” said Kathy Newman, 73, who remembers when people could get on the Grasmere Lake’s island. “I think it’s always been popular.”

Being a short walk to the park is the number one reason Newman has lived in the neighborhood since 1990.

Retail growth in areas such as South Pearl Street, which has a bevy of restaurants and boutiques, also contributes to home values. And for many residents, Washington Park’s historic quality is a special bonus.

West Washington Park resident Mary Dreger has organized a historic home tour on Sept. 8, for instance, that is held through the West Washington Park Neighborhood Association and gives people the opportunity to see some of the Victorian, Queen Anne and bungalow-style homes in the area. Tickets can be purchased at the Washington Street Community Center, 809 S. Washington St., or they are available online at www.wwpna.org.

Advance tickets are $15.

Bruce Morgan bought his home on South Grant Street 12 years ago. The home was built in 1900 in the Spanish Mission style. When the house went for sale, listed at $399,000 Morgan owned a different home at East First Avenue and Grant Street. But the

new home, he decided, was his dream home.

“I was a little panicked,” he said of potentially having two mortgages to pay.

As luck would have it, his First Avenue home sold in three days.

Since moving in, Morgan and his partner John Nielsen have spent five years renovating the house. As a historic home, Morgan said they had to work with the city to have renovations approved by the Landmark Preservation office, which oversees the protection of historic properties throughout Denver. The pair added a foundation to the home, bringing out 20,000 buckets of dirt in five-gallon buckets. The project attracted the attention of the community, which cheered them on.

“It was so fun just to see the whole community get interested,” he said.

Morgan and Nielsen are still working on projects around the house. Photos of the foundation and basement project line the walls of their home, celebrating their achievement.

They love their tight-knit community, which Morgan says is what makes the neighborhood feel like home: “Our block is so much fun, the people are wild and fun and caring, and it’s such a community. I’ve never had that before.”

Tim McHugh, who lives on the eastern side of Washington Park, moved to the neighborhood seven years ago when he retired as a physician. He, too, agreed people are what make a community.

McHugh and his wife frequently visited the neighborhood before moving since their daughter lives in the area as well. McHugh said he has heard a lot of concern from fellow residents about the demolition of historic homes. But for him, it’s not the homes that make the character of the neighborhood.

“The character of a neighborhood is not just those buildings,” he said. “It’s the people in those buildings.”

‘Small and intimate’ school spreads wings in Denver The bigger space near Cherry Creek will allow Rock Solid Christian Academy to grow

BY KAILYN LAMB

After setting up and taking down classrooms on a weekly basis for more than 20 years, Rock Solid Christian Academy — a University Model school — is headed to a permanent home near the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

The University Model is a nationwide Christian-based curriuculum that helps prepare students for fouryear college programs. According to the University Model Schools International website, Rock Solid is the only school in Denver using the system.

Rock Solid, which has 65 students enrolled for the upcoming 2018-19 school year, was previously located in Littleton at South Fellowship Church.

Because the Littleton church had other programming, Rock Solid was unable to keep classrooms in place permanently. Instead, teachers would take down materials every week. The church had also decided to expand its preschool program, which meant Rock Solid had to move.

In early July, the school packed up its bookshelves, desks, science tables and sinks and headed to Citypoint Church at 200 S. University Blvd. near

the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.

The space was formerly home to a charter school in the Denver Public Schools district.

Cecilia Gibbs, assistant principal of the school, said the new location is four-times the size of their old space.

Citypoint also has a gym and soccer field students can use. At South Fellowship, teachers were unable to personalize classrooms, since they had to break down their space every week.

“Teachers can settle in, they can make the rooms their own. I think everybody’s going to feel a lot more settled,” Gibbs said. “In our other building we just had no room for growth — we were at max.”

Moving into the new space also allowed Rock Solid to expand its programming, adding kindergarten through fifth-grade classes. The first elementary students will start this fall. Gibbs said the school had a lot of interest in elementary classes from families with younger children, but it didn’t have room in the old building.

Under the University Model, students in middle school and high school attend classes three days a week, while the new elementary classes will only go for two days. The model is meant to prepare students for college schedules.

The school year starts on Aug. 14 for middle and high school students, with elementary classes starting on Sept. 5.

In addition to helping students prepare for college schedules, the three-

In its old building in Littleton, Rock Solid Christian Academy teachers needed to break down the classrooms every day. The Denver space has lockers for students and the teachers will be able to personalize their classrooms.

KAILYN LAMB day class schedule allows them to spend more time with their families.

Teachers also like the schedule.

Owen McCann said it allowed for him to go back to school to get his master’s degree. He will graduate with a master’s in divinity from the Denver Seminary next year.

The school, which has a 15-1 studentteacher ratio, offers math, language and science classes, as well as electives and spiritual classes on the Bible.

“We think being small and intimate is part of what makes us special,” Principal Rhonda Elliott said.

Chloe Prewitt, who will be a senior this year, said the small classes allowed for students to bond with their teachers.

“The staff and the teachers all want to help us with school, but they also want to help us on a personal level,” she said. “The staff really encourages us in our spiritual walk too.”

putting huge buildings next to homes.

All the commercial (use) will be along Federal (Boulevard) and will hopefully be a mixture of neighborhood-serving and regional-draw uses.”

Westside is planning a development with high-density residential — apartments and single-family housing — and commercial elements. It plans to request from the City of Denver a rezoning, a change of the type of land uses allowed on the property. Zoning regulations already permit multi-unit housing and attached single-family homes, Klein said. Some limited commercial uses are currently allowed as well.

Westside will be the master developer for the campus, which is owned by the Japan-based Teikyo University Group. As the master developer, Westside will sell parcels of land to builders.

Local establishments, like a pizza restaurant, along with restaurants that may attract faraway customers could be part of the equation, Klein said in June.

Westside is also considering preserving buildings other than the administration building and chapel, “particularly the theater building because of the fact that it has meant so much to the community,” Klein said July 31.

Pancratia Hall — named for Mother Pancratia Bonfils, one of the campus’ founders — will also be repurposed, according to Westside’s website. It was designed as a dormitory building, according to Historic Denver, a nonprofit historic-preservation organization.

California-based Catellus Development Corporation was expected to purchase the property before, but the campus’s owner rejected the final financial offer earlier this year and decided against the sale.

“We’re going to make a project that everyone’s going to be proud of — that’s the goal,” Klein said.

CALM AFTER THE STORM

C ol

After more than a year of community meetings and one deal that fell through, the southwest Denver community can let out a long-held breath now that the former Colorado Heights University campus site has sold.

“We’re excited,” said Andrew Klein, a principal at Westside Investment Partners, the Glendale-based real estate and development group that purchased the property July 31. “It’s such a great piece of ground — so beautiful, so iconic.”

What will become of the former campus — still affectionately known to locals as Loretto Heights — isn’t fully certain yet, but fears of a cavalier developer swooping in to knock down the site’s historic buildings should be relieved. Westside is committed to preservation of the administration building, the adjoining chapel and the cemetery, where dozens of dead nuns lie, according to Kevin Flynn, Denver city councilmember representing the area.

The 70-acre campus at 3001 S. Federal Blvd. was once a Catholic college. First named Loretto Heights Academy, it grew out of an effort by the Sisters of Loretto dating back to the late 1800s. It’s visible for miles around in the south Denver metro area, and its reddish-brown administration building with a tower is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Jim Gibson, a leader who has organized community meetings about the campus, said he and Martha Kirkpatrick — a member of the Loretto Heights Community Initiative, the group following and giving input on the campus’ future — met with Flynn and Westside’s team in July. Kirkpatrick gave a presentation on the site’s history, and Gibson said Westside showed interest in its past. Klein later waxed sentimental about the campus.

“The best thing about this property and what stands out to me even more so than the history is how it’s affected people’s lives,” Klein said. “Because no matter who you talk to, they know someone who went to college there” or “someone’s child has done a ‘Nutcracker’ performance there.”

Klein added, “Just in my office, one of (the employees) got married there, in the chapel. And that’s just in my office.”

The property was the subject of several community meetings in 2017 and this April, where community members discussed its future, one that loomed large with sentimental weight for surrounding neighborhoods.

“We’re planning an urban mixed-use village respectful of the neighboring communities,” Klein said in June.

“We’re certainly not planning on

Originally founded by the Sisters of Loretto, Loretto Heights Academy opened in 1891 after their original building in downtown Denver — the Catholic girls’ school St. Mary’s Academy of the Loretto Order, which opened about 1864 — grew to take up nearly the whole block by 1880, a 1985 school-newspaper article said.

In 1948, the southwest Denver facility became Loretto Heights College, solely a four-year Catholic college for women, and later admitted male students. It closed in 1988, and three of its academic programs moved to what was then called Regis College, according to a Regis article.

Teikyo Loretto Heights University opened on the campus in 1989 and focused on international students. The Japan-based Teikyo University Group opened Colorado Heights University, a private, not-for-profit institution, in 2009.

Colorado Heights University announced its decision to close in November 2016 due to an insufficient student population. Also a factor were problems the United States Department of Education found with the agency that accredited its programs.

If I’m accused of taking pictures, I can’t claim that I was framed

T

ake a picture. It lasts longer.

That’s my motto.

I have over 10 million photographs, maybe more.

My friends call me “F-Stop Fitzgerald.”

I take pictures everywhere I go. I mean it. In the flowers, in the showers, in my car, at the bar, at the game, at the concert, at the park, in the dark, at the zoo, on the shoreline, at the borderline, up the creek, over the river, through the woods, wow.

In the gallery, in the museum, in the church, in the steeple, in the diner, in the library, in the attic, in the john, in the aisles (nobody smiles), in your face, now.

I can’t stop and I don’t want to. If I didn’t take pictures, I wouldn’t know where I’ve been.

Take away my camera, and I would disappear. There would be no more me.

What do I do with all of these photographs? I’ll get to that, right after I take pictures of the Tinker Toys, the toybox tomatoes, and the toilets on the Toyota.

Clinics and gizmos and nights on the town.

Oh, fireworks, my favorites, and plenty of clowns.

Republicans and Democrats and leaky submarines.

Apples and grapes and ripe tangerines.

Click, click, it’s me. Selfies? I got ‘em. I’m embarrassed to tell. Hundreds and that’s just this week.

Here I am on the couch. Here I am standing next to a stranger holding a chicken. That’s me on Saturday night.

That’s me on Sunday morning. Ouch.

Friends come over and I get them too. Cubby and Karen, that’s who. Daltrey and Townsend, that’s Who. Clubs and cults, waiters and waitresses, brides and grooms, judges and juries.

There are others like me. I’m not one of a kind. We’re everywhere and we’re everything. We’re up, we’re on, we’re twenty-eighteen.

Bother you? Too bad. Get a life.

I’m here to document. I am here to

They all go into files and folders, by day and by time. There are headings and subheadings, and topics that rhyme.

A Scorpion with a camera wanted to get across a river, but couldn’t swim, so he asked a nearby Frog for a lift.

Halfway across, the Scorpion started taking pictures.

“Why not just enjoy the ride?” the Frog asked the Scorpion.

A tribute to Jean Ziglar and courtship after marriage

hether we say that behind every great man is a great woman, or behind every great woman is a great man, or we agree that behind every great person is another great person or family, we can all agree that typically when we see a person, a family, a business or a team succeed, that the level of success achieved was in direct proportion to the support, love, hope, and encouragement of others.

This week I want to pay tribute to Jean Ziglar, Zig Ziglar’s beloved wife who passed away recently at the age of 90. Zig never missed an opportunity to share what a remarkable woman she was and did so right up until the time of his passing back in 2012. From the stage he was famous for referring to her as “The Redhead.” He would say, “When I am talking about her, it’s The Redhead, when I am talking to her, it’s Sugar Baby, and her real name is Jean.”

Not only did I hear him say it from the stage dozens of times and hear it on his audio programs hundreds of times, I was fortunate enough to witness it happening in real life over and

over again. To watch Mr. Ziglar as he loved on his wife was one thing, and to see them love on each other was the epitome of a happy marriage.

If you would like to read one of the very best books ever on how to build and live out a successful marriage, read Zig Ziglar’s book, “Courtship AfWINNING ter Marriage.” What WORDS Zig writes about in this book is how he and Jean lived their lives together.

They were the real deal, their love and relationship were, and still are, a living example to every couple that wants to Michael Norton experience a closer and more loving relationship.

Jean Ziglar will also be remembered as the “Happy Hugger.” If you were ever blessed enough to meet her, that means you probably got a hug.

If you ever spent time with her, you probably heard her laugh. Zig Ziglar might have been the man on stage and on those recordings, but Jean

Ziglar was his world. Zig would say she was like his American Express card, he never left home without her.

Why was that?

Well maybe it’s because she always made sure he had enough money in his wallet in case of an emergency when he first started traveling and was away from home. Maybe it’s because she reminded Zig that they could never out-give God as they built a loving, faithful, and faith-based marriage together. Maybe it’s because when he was on stage she could be seen sitting right in the front row time and time again.

Zig would say that Jean Ziglar was the best car door opener in all of Texas, but if she opened her own car door more than a few times in an entire year it would be a lot. He would open her door for her everywhere they went. Even if they had a driver, he would want to be the one to open her door for her. Why? I can tell you why, Jean Ziglar was one of the most amazing women in her own right. She was humble, she was kind, she was strong, she was a woman of faith, she was a loving mother and grandmother, she was a

friend, she was smart, she was funny, she was an amazing hugger. Jean Ziglar was love.

As I close out this column I want to share a memory and a vision that has been planted in my mind and on my heart for many years. I was traveling with Mr. Ziglar to an event where he would be speaking to tens of thousands of people. We were in the green room getting ready and Jean Ziglar was with him. Instead of going through his notes one more time as he typically would do before each and every event, he was spending his time with Jean. And Jean, in her loving way, was making sure he was ready to go out on stage. But as they did this, they were loving and flirting, and gently kissing and hugging. They were sharing just how much they loved each other. There were a few people in the room with us, but that didn’t seem to phase Zig or Jean. And then as we walked out through the tunnel, Zig and Jean walked together holding hands right up to the point where Zig was to go on stage.

HABITAT FROM PAGE 1

“This is the second time I have worked on a Habitat for Humanity project. Our employer gives us a few days a year to do volunteer work so I chose to work on this project,” she said. “I think working on a Habitat project is a lot of fun. I am getting pretty good with a hammer and today I got to work with power tools for the first time.”

She said she likes the opportunity to give back to the community.

“It is super fun today to be out here with all these ladies who are helping build homes that will help more families have a decent place to live,” she said. d “I also think it is great special to be working with a crew of all women. I think it is empowering to see what we women can do to build a home for a needy family.”

Habitat for Humanity Metro Denver was founded in 1979. Burns said -since it was founded it has assisted 840 families.

“About 600 of those families moved into new homes,” she said. “Habitat volunteers helped renovate, rebuild or modernize the homes of the other families.”

A family applies to be part of Habitat online. Burns said the applications are evaluated and prioritized based on if the family is living in substandard housing, if they are paying more than 30 percent of their income for housing, and the ability to fulfill requirements of the

FINALISTS FROM PAGE 1

Board member Happy Haynes said the timeline is meant to maintain stability in a district that has “got a lot of good things happening” and attract top candidates who may not stay interested in the job if the search drags on for many months.

“The longer you have uncertainty about the leadership, it creates anxiety,” Haynes said.

But parent Brandon Pryor said the short time window makes it appear that board members “already have their minds made up,” and the search process is just for show.

Consultant will aid search The resolution says the board will conduct a nationwide search with the help of a third-party consultant who has yet to be hired. The search will be open to both internal and external candidates, it says. Board hmember Lisa Flores said it’s likely the best candidates already have jobs elsewhere, “and we might be .in a position of stealing someone away.”

Most importantly to many of the parents and students who came to watch the board meeting, the resolution says the board “will seek out community input on the experiences, qualities, and qualifications

Once a family is accepted to become residents of a Habitat home they are sent a list of the properties under construction. When they

select a site for their home, they are required to put in the “sweat equity” that is part of their agreement.

As the home is being built, the family attends 11 to 15 hours of classes about what is expected of homeowners, such as maintaining the property and the home.

“The families sign a 30-year

mortgage agreement.” Burns said.

“The payment is never more than 30 percent of their income and the mortgage is at below market rate.

Every effort is made to help the family successfully purchase their new home. We feel it is working because Habitat has a less than 2 percent foreclosure rate.”

that the next superintendent should have.”

Before the meeting, a group of community members dissatisfied with the district, who believe its policies are poorly serving students of color and those from low-income families, gathered across the street from Denver Public Schools’ downtown headquarters to offer such advice.

They want the next superintendent to be an educator who lives in the city - and if he or she has children, to send those children to Denver’s public schools.

Boasberg was once a public school teacher in Hong Kong, but he came to the district in 2007 from a job as a senior executive at a telecommunications company. He lives with his wife and three children in Boulder.

The group, called Our Voice, Our Schools, said the next superintendent should remove police officers from schools and put a licensed teacher in every classroom, a dig at programs like Teach for America that recruit college graduates to teach full-time while earning a license.

The next leader should be “a transformer, not a reformer,” group members said, referring to school improvement strategies deployed during Boasberg’s tenure, including closing or replacing struggling schools.

Deputy Superintendent Susana

Cordova, a Denver Public Schools graduate and former teacher who is widely seen as a leading contender for the job, would not be an acceptable choice because of her support for such strategies, they said.

They said their aim is to balance a desire to hear from as many community groups as possible with the fact that it is ultimately the board’s responsibility to hire the superintendent.

“It’s our duty to listen to you,” said board member Carrie Olson, a former teacher who was elected last year on a platform that included improving how the district engages with the community. “Not listen to you in a superficial way, but in a deep way.”

Student Jhoni Palmer was also in the audience July 30. A rising junior at East High School, she serves with Contreras on the district’s student board of education, an advocacy and leadership group. Palmer said she’d like the next superintendent to be a woman of color because the district has long been run by men and because the new leader should reflect the students, most of whom are students of color.

Contreras added that the superintendent should have attended public school themselves, and Palmer said that she’d like a local candidate “who knows how DPS runs.”

Most of all, the teenagers said students should be involved and consulted every step of the way. The adults may be in charge, Contreras said, but “they’re not the people in school.”

“We catch the repercussions of their actions,” Palmer said.

Group dislikes choice program Another community group, called Our Denver, Our Schools, released a similar list last week. It included that the next superintendent should speak Spanish, the most common language other than English spoken by the families of Denver students, 55 percent of whom are Latino.

It also said the superintendent should want to “phase out choice by assuring every neighborhood school is an excellent one.” Denver’s nationally recognized school choice system allows families to use a single form to request to attend any school in the city. State law requires districts to offer school choice, and Denver’s process makes it significantly easier for families to participate. But critics see it as fueling the growth of independent charter schools, among other things.

Even groups less hostile toward the district have called for the superintendent search process to include robust opportunities for the public to weigh in. Board members on July 30 articulated a high-level plan for doing so that does not yet include details or meeting dates.

eidi Herman scanned through the children’s book section at Tattered Cover Bookstore in Aspen Grove in Littleton, while her son, Maddox, 10, sat on the floor flipping through a book about LEGOs. When they go to a bookstore, the Littleton family said, it’s Tattered Cover.

“I like the small feel, and we’re pretty big on supporting local businesses,” Heidi said Aug. 3.

When Amazon burst onto the scene in the 1990s and as digital books grew in popularity, speculation swirled that the death of independent bookstores like Tattered Cover and reading as people knew it was imminent.

That belief has since been, mostly, debunked. Independent bookstores are still here. They’re still selling hard copies of texts across genres.

And they have a loyal customer base, owners say.

Still, there’s no doubt that models like Amazon’s or of large retailers such as Barnes & Noble affected business for independent bookstores, say indie shop owners in the Denver metro area, both in the used and new book industries.

And Amazon has begun delving into the brick-and-mortar side of

Len Vlahos, co-owner of Tattered Cover Bookstore, said he isn’t worried about competition from Amazon or the future of independents, a sentiment echoed by other shop owners.

What keeps independent bookstores going, he points out, is the customer service, the personal touch of selling items that customers might not find at a corporaterun store relying on the New York

n the years since its founding, the 40 West Arts District has become the beating heart of Lakewood’s arts community.

And every year, its biggest party is the West Colfax MuralFest.

The 2018 MuralFest is from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, at Lamar Station Plaza (located at Colfax Avenue and Pierce Street) and along the district’s newly unveiled 40 West ArtLine, a four-mile pedestrian- and cycling-friendly arts experience.

The fourth MuralFest continues the trend of getting bigger and better every August, with creative vendor booths, free trolley rides, live painting, COMING entertainATTRACTIONS local ment, food trucks, craft beer and creative activities for the whole family.

Most importantly, it shows off the city’s biggest art gallery the famous boulevard itself.

“We’ll be giving visitors mural Clarke Reader tours around the city so they can see all that has been created,” said Kevin Yoshida, a 40 West board member. “Murals allow you to think about your city as a creative campus.”

Last year’s MuralFest attracted more than 5,000 people and numbers are on track to be just as high with performances from local musicians like Pandas and People, Graham Good and the Painters, Maya Bennett and Emelise Munoz. According to information from 40 West, Azure Antoinette, named the “Maya Angelou of the millennial generation” by Oprah, will also appear.

The fest gets a touch of international flair with Italian muralist Pepe Gaka, and will also feature Thomas Evans, who has painted multiple sites in the Denver area, and Steven Teller, an artist and muralist based out of Florida.

“We’re rooted in the Denver community,” he said. “Our buyers who buy books for the stores live in and around Denver.”

Their selection of books also differs by location and aims to cater to each demographic. Buyers at the Aspen Grove shopping center, for example, may look to different products than those on Colfax, Vlahos said.

There’s also the warm cup of coffee, the comfortable couch that begs you to stay and special events for people of all ages.

Jim Norris is the co-owner of Mutiny Information Café on South Broadway in Denver, which has operated as a bookstore for about 30 years, under different names and owners.

He believes Amazon is “counterproductive to the community spirit” of independent bookstores and that large chain stores don’t have the same character as indies, he said.

“They’re deliberately made to be generic, so they’re easy to go in and out of,” he said.

Mutiny is “super eclectic,” and a space where shoppers can find comics, used books, vinyl records and visit the in-house coffee bar. Essentially, Norris said, it’s a “pop culture playground.”

Despite its popularity in the area, success never came calling, and the group dissolved in 1975. But Boulder alumni and fan of the band Lee Aronsohn decided to track down the members 40 years later for a reunion concert.

The resulting film, “40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie,” is directed by Aronsohn and will be specially opened at the Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, on Friday, Aug. 10.

tiny, the shop has sat in its corner store location across from the state Capitol for decades, she said. Brooks is the third owner.

“Frankly, most books are out of print,” she said. “The publishers have all shrunk down and consolidated and they can’t afford to publish something that’s not a bestseller.”

When a book is no longer published, that’s where independent used bookstores come into the picture, Brooks said, offering recycled copies not available elsewhere.

At least once a week, she said, and including the morning she spoke to Colorado Community Media, Brooks gets a call from one of Tattered Cover’s locations asking if they have a book a customer of theirs can’t find.

Both Brooks and Norris took over their respective stores from past owners with a mission to keep the shops going.

“You can’t see a store like this close,” Brooks said. “It’s just wrong.”

Despite 37 years under the store’s belt, Brooks said, she still gets the Amazon/internet questions on occasion.

“People ask me frequently if the internet is hurting us,” Brooks said.

Shop owners have responded to Amazon differently. Capitol Hill Books sells online through the site.

“It’s that extra little bit that can make the difference,” she said of the profit, which helps them stay open and remain the “neighborhood used bookstore.”

Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Father John Misty at Red Rocks Josh Tillman, better known as Father John Misty, is one of those musicians that doesn’t seem to leave much room for the casual listener. People either find his sharp and, at times, biting lyrics and persona endearing and entertaining or pompous and selfindulgent.

There’s unlikely to be a consensus on the man any time soon, but his music remains fascinating and insightful. While it doesn’t reach the peaks of “I Love You, Honeybear,” this year’s “God’s Favorite Customer” is a straight shot of John Lennon-esque instrumentation and lyricism.

In support of the album, Father John Misty will be stopping by Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 15.

Either way, independent bookstores say they’re here to stay, what-

ever the next challenge may be.

“That’s where you’re going to find the real treasures,” Norris said. “It’s not just corporate prints, it’s not just best-sellers. It’s those weird, obscure books.”

Landscape photography carries viewers away Denver Art Museum exhibit has works from about 40 creators

IF YOU GO

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Denver Art Museum is at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway, Denver. Open daily. The Hamilton Building is at the southeast corner of 13th Avenue and Bannock Street. Cultural Parking Garage: On 12th Avenue, just west of Broadway, north side. Exit onto the museum’s plaza.

720-865-5000, denverartmuseum.org.

From the first super-sized work at the gallery entrance through almost 100 images, shot day and night across our ever-amazing world, “New Territory: Landscape Photography Today” offers a Denver Art Museum visitor a peek inside the minds of about 40 contemporary photographers whose visions of the land stretch the imagination and carry one from this print to the next one, exclaiming, “How did she/he do that?”

This collection stretches what boundaries there may have been about traditional landscape photography — both in technique and image. And of course, many carry messages about today’s environmental considerations, perceptions and values as they stir the imagination … visitors have exclaimed: “I never saw anything like this!”

The exhibit runs through Sept. 16 on Level 2 of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum — now open seven days a week.

For example, Matthew Brandt’s large three-panel “Lake Isabella” was developed with water from the popular California lake site, as well as a bit of

sand, soil and more. This young Los Angeles artist, who grew up assisting his photographer father in his lab, operates free from the constraints some bring to the art as they produce perfect, unmarred prints. Brandt is known for highly experimental, site-specific work, such as “Lake Isabella.”

Curator Eric Paddock calls work exhibited in this exhibit “processdominant … It blurs the distinctions between `observed’ and `constructed’ imagery, between the `real’ and `ideal’ landscapes that have shaped photography for the past 50 years.”

Abelardo Morrell’s very different images of mostly familiar spots in America’s national parks were achieved with a periscope/lens sticking out from the top of a tent, which reproduced the scene on the tent floor, onto the dirt and sand one walks on approaching the site. The act of translating that image to the prints we see on the museum walls explains their sort of otherworldly quality. Actually, both those special locations and prints display that quality. Stand in front of them for a while and let them reel you

Abelardo Morell’s tent camera image on the ground of “Mt. Moran and the Snake River from Oxbow Bend. Grand Teton National Park” Wyoming 2011, is in “New Territory: Landscape Photography Today” at the Denver Art Museum.

COURTESY PHOTO in! Morrell is a Cuban-American artist with a truly original view of his world — making it his own — yet clearly recognizable. Morrell is quoted: “I wanted to find a way to make these well-known views into my own private discoveries” … James M. Allen of Eastman Museum said of these works: “They tie the ground to a scenic view, transform the geology of the land into his canvas …”

Buenos Aires, Argentina resident Adam Jeppesen, who spoke in late June, walked 487 days alone from the North Pole, through the Americas and concluded at the South Pole in Antarctica, taking pictures every day. Some from this adventure are exhibited, including scratches to negatives that occurred in his backpack. He discovered a positive side to solitude and his works “reflect the physical and emotional experience of his adventure.”

Sharon Harper, who will lecture at

7 p.m. Aug. 23, attached a camera to a telescope to take pictures of the night sky, continuing her exploration of the role of photography as we explore the surrounding landscape. (The camera can expand our vision as well as alter it …)

Astronomical images, closeups of nature, photos large and small, precise and abstract make up this carefully curated exhibit. It would be perfect to share with visiting family and friends this summer.

• Some related programs: Daily tours with a docent are planned through Sept. 16 from 1:30 to 2:15.

Aug. 23 from 7-8 p.m., Anderman Photography Lectures features Sharon Harper talking about how the camera is a way to translate kinds of connections that we’re not even aware of and the kinds of connections that are very abstract and difficult to talk about.

Dealerships hope to fill vehicles with school supplies Annual ‘Stuff for Students’ drive to help provide classroom essentials to children in need STAFF REPORT

Throughout August, Larry H. Miller Dealerships will try to fill a car, truck or SUV at each of its showrooms with school supplies such as backpacks, pencils, highlighters, scissors, binders, rulers, calculators and lunch bags.

A joint effort among the dealerships, Denver’s 9News and Volunteers of America Colordo Branch, the 17th annual “Stuff for Students” school supply drive will benefit pre-kindergarten to high school students in more than 15 school districts in Colorado.

“One of the greatest investments we can make as a company is in our youth,” Ray Reilly, senior vice president of operations at Larry H. Miller Dealerships, said in a news release.

“By participating in ‘Stuff for Stu-

dents,’ we’ve been able to ensure that local students have the tools they need to succeed in school. Our incredible customers and employees have helped us collect nearly $50,000 in school supplies for the last four years, and we look forward to a successful 2018.”

“Stuff for Students” collection bins will be set up at Larry H. Miller locations in Denver, Aurora, Centennial, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, Federal Heights and Boulder. In addition, monetary contributions can be made online through Volunteers of America at http://www.voacolorado. org/news_and_events/stuff-for-students.

In Colorado school districts, nearly 25,000 pupils enrolled in public schools have been identified as experiencing homelessness, the release said.

“The teacher walkouts seen around the country this year highlight how dramatically underfunded public schools can be,” said Bradley Gulley, director of volunteer services at Volunteers of America Colorado.

Centura Health connects EMS, hospital records Being aware of the signs, symptoms and treatment that a patient received in his or her home and in the ambulance on the way to the hospital can be a huge asset to providers in the hospital. That data is now easily accessible by physicians in the hospital to seamlessly continue the care that was started in the field.

Centura Health has partnered with ESO Health Data Exchange to bridge the gap between emergency medical services and hospitals by providing real-time bidirectional data sharing. The exchange is offered at all Centura Health locations.

“Integrating between emergency medical services and the receiving physicians is a large step forward in improving the care of critically ill patients,” Matthew Brougham, DO and medical director at Littleton

I was standing next to a security guard who made the walk with us.

He was about 6’5” tall and a big man.

I could see him wiping a tear from his eye too, as we both had tears of joy and appreciation for this wonderful and loving couple who together changed the lives of millions of people around the world.

In second year, Broncos coach in must-win situation Vance Joseph says he knows what the problems were during last year’s 5-11 campaign

BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

No, Vance Joseph never felt as if he was drinking out of a firehose when the Denver Broncos stumbled through a 5-11 season in his first year as head coach last year.

That’s how general manager John Elway has repeatedly described what it must have been like for a first-year head coach in the NFL. “That’s not my personality, so I didn’t feel that way,’’ Joseph told The Associated Press. “My focus was purely on trying to flip it and get us back on a winning path. I think being a young head coach and being a young coach is a different deal. I’m not a young coach. I’ve been a part of teams that have gone through adversity so I kind of knew what the issues were.”

Turnovers.

A sieve of an offensive line.

Locker room rifts.

A lack of chemistry, the byproduct of another protracted quarter-

back competition.

Still, “I think overwhelmed, that’s not the word,” Joseph said.

Denver’s dive, which included eight losses by double digits, was a shock to a city and a franchise that had a ticker-tape parade just two years earlier, and Elway acknowledged that he pondered firing Joseph at season’s end.

“We thought about different options, but ultimately, my goal was to stick with Vance and give him that shot,” Elway said in January.

Elway, who had riled up his players by calling them soft during an eight-game skid, said he shared in the blame for Joseph’s deficient debut and needed to surround him with better personnel.

Joseph replaced nearly half of his coaching staff while Elway embarked on a massive roster upgrade.

He signed quarterback Case Keenum in free agency and all 10 members of his ballyhooed 2018 draft class spent four years in college and most were captains. That’s a far cry from the previous two classes that were loaded with raw athleticism, long-term projects and plenty of question marks.

Joseph seems much more comfortable in his second season.

“I don’t see it as a do-over. It’s hard in this league. You don’t get doovers, unfortunately. But it’s a new

year and obviously last year wasn’t good enough,” Joseph said.

The hands-off philosophy Joseph brought to Denver last year has vanished.

“I think it’s a fine line between micromanaging and coaching coaches. And I didn’t want to ever be micromanaged as an assistant coach because in my mind I was doing the best I could for that head coach and the best I could for that football team. And I took great pride in coaching my guys and being the best group on the field every day in the meeting rooms or on the field,’’ Joseph said.

“So, in my mind, every coach would feel that way and every coach would want to coach that way. So, I was cautious in interrupting coaches’ drills, interrupting coaches’ ways of doing things because I had an experienced staff.’’

That led to the notion that Joseph was still acting like an assistant coach last year while offensive coordinator Mike McCoy continued operating as though he were still a head coach before getting fired at midseason.

Joseph vehemently denies that was the case.

“I thought Mike did a great job every week of accepting his role and we talked every week about the game plan, so that’s not true,’’ Joseph said.

“I worked for a lot of coaches who didn’t micromanage me, Gary Kubiak, Marvin Lewis, great guys who have won a lot of games. So, that’s not true. Our staff last year we discussed every game plan that we put forward and again it was the best thing for our players at the time.

“So, our thought process early on was to be an explosive offense.

We were 3-1. It wasn’t perfect. But it was working. Now, turning the ball over, not protecting the quarterback, those things affected how we played on offense. But not Mike trying to be in total control, that’s not true.’’

Still, Joseph said he has to coach his coaches better, and by that, he means challenging them.

“I don’t coach the receivers, I don’t coach the running backs or offensive line. I’m a defensive backs guy, I’m a defensive guy. So, I think asking the right questions and triggering more thought process on how we can do things better,” he said.

“Now, I can be wrong, but I think simply asking more questions is a simple way of helping the coaches get better and helping our football team get better and not letting anything slide.”

Joseph realizes he won’t get another chance if things don’t change.

“Winning football games is a must this year.”
