Denver soon to license pot clubs, but few may open Rules reflect resistance from neighborhood residents, skepticism about marijuana

The grand opening of a new location for Mi Casa Resource Center, a nonprofit that serves Latino and other families in need, drew more than 700 attendees for its site in Westwood, a majority-Latino area.

Denver recently began taking applications from businesses seeking to become some of the nation’s first legal marijuana clubs.

But the city’s elaborate hurdles for potential weed-friendly coffee shops and gathering places may mean the city gets few takers for the new licenses.

Denver voters approved bring-yourown-pot clubs in a ballot measure last year after city officials dragged their feet on calls to give legal pot smokers a place to use the drug. The city began accepting applications on Aug. 24.

“There are plenty of places where you can consume alcohol. Let’s give people a place to go to consume marijuana,” said Jordan Person, head of Denver NORML, which advocates for pot-friendly public policy.

But Denver’s would-be “social use” clubs have faced one delay after another.

First, the state liquor board prohibited pot use at any place with a liquor license, making bars and many restaurants off-limits. And pot shops can’t allow consumption on the premises.

That left gathering places like coffee shops, art galleries and yoga studios.

Teacher sees job as way to bring change in society Baltimore job experience opened eyes to effects of racism, poverty

‘For me, teaching has become an act of social justice. If my students are successful, they are pushing back against the status quo ...’

BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT.ORG

To Ashley Farris, an advanced placement English teacher at KIPP Denver Collegiate High School in Denver, teaching is an act of social justice — a way to help students push against the status quo and create community change.

It’s an outlook she adopted during her first teaching job in Baltimore, when she got a crash course in racism and poverty. She says her belief that teachers can change the world is what’s kept her in the profession.

Farris is one of 20 educators who were selected for the state’s new Commissioners Teacher Cabinet.

The group will provide input to officials at the Colorado Department of Education on the impact of education policies in the classroom.

This interview has been condensed and lightly edited.

I think the reasons that I became a teacher are far less important than my reasons for staying. My first teaching assignment was in Baltimore City, and it was the first time I had to confront a system that really was not working for all of the people involved. I learned a lot about racism, poverty and trauma while I was teaching there, and it

Why did you become a teacher?

I think teaching is in my blood!

I am the oldest of my siblings, so I was often teaching them when we were growing up. I found solace in

about mental illness IT’S OK TO HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS, MANY OF US DO. One in four Coloradans experience a mental illness each year. Mental illnesses are treatable health conditions, but people are still afraid to talk about them due to shame, misunderstanding, negative attitudes and fear of discrimination.

IT’S OK TO FEEL THE WAY YOU ARE FEELING. Mental illness is not imaginary. Mental illnesses are very real and very common. Mental illnesses cannot be willed away. They are medical conditions that do not define us.

IT’S OK TO ASK FOR HELP. Most mental illnesses can be treated effectively with medication, therapy, diet, exercise and support.

made me angry. As a person of color, no one had ever taught me the academic vocabulary to describe the things I was experiencing and the things I saw my students experiencing. I pushed myself to learn more about institutional racism, implicit bias, etc. because I knew that my students deserved more. I wanted them to be able to talk about the challenges they saw every day.

For me, teaching has become an act of social justice. If my students are successful, they are pushing back against the status quo, and they are able to make the changes they want to see in their communities. Although I am no longer in Baltimore, I am still committed to working with minority students in underserved communities. I co-taught a social justice class last year and it was incredible to be able to share stories with my students of color about our common experiences. Recently, I saw this quote that said, “She believed she could change the world, so she became a teacher” and I thought: that’s me! That’s why I’m still here!

What is one of your favorite lessons to teach?

One of my favorite lessons last year was an introduction to a unit on truth. I had five volunteers touch an object that was inside of a box and describe what they felt.

They each had drastically different answers: Some said the object was soft, others firm, one said it felt feathery. I revealed that the object inside the box was a teddy bear wearing a graduation cap (a gift from my family when I was accepted to college, which also gave me an opportunity to talk about being a first-generation college student).

We discussed how although none of the students were wrong about what they felt, none of them was able to understand the whole truth of the object. Then we read both “The Parable of the Elephant” and Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” It sparked a great conversation about how we know when something is true and the importance of listening to different perspectives.

Students were still bringing up the “elephant story” in our discussions at the end of the year.

What does your classroom look like?

I play with seating arrangements a lot in my room. I have tables and they are currently in L-shapes so students can easily work with a partner or in a small group. There is a lot of student talk and collaboration in my class, and I try to choose seating arrangements to help facilitate that. I don’t have too many things on the walls because I find them distracting, but I do have a few plants to add some color and life to the room.

How did you come up with the idea?

I based the entire lesson on “The Parable of the Elephant,” but I Google everything. I am constantly saving articles on Evernote that I think would be interesting to teach in class. I am always on the lookout for something that I think could be useful in a lesson.

Fill in the blank. I couldn’t teach without my ... Why? My document camera, which projects documents onto a screen. I use my document camera every day with students because it is so easy to work alongside them, show them my thinking and have them present their own work.

How do you respond when a student doesn’t understand your lesson?

If a student doesn’t understand the lesson, I might have another student help them. Sometimes kids are able to explain things to each other in ways that make more sense. We also have office hours at my school, so I am available at least once a week to help students. I invite students to come during lunch as well if they’d like extra help.

Chambers of commerce cater to young professionals Groups are for the ‘next leaders of the business community’

West Chamber Young Professionals go on a hike as one of their monthly activities.

The group targeted for people 40 and younger puts a fresh spin on networking.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At a young professionals happy hour hosted by the Highlands Ranch Chamber of Commerce, 24-year-old Erika Oakvik mingled with a small group of people — some dressed in suits and skirts, others sporting T-shirts and jeans — over personal and professional life.

“One of the most important things about marketing,” said Oakvik, who works for CareNow Urgent Care, “is meeting the movers and shakers.”

Young professional groups are emerging in several chambers of commerce across the Denver metro area. Targeting those 40 and younger, the groups provide an opportunity to network, grow professionally and have fun with like-minded people.

Events are geared toward the interests of young adults — happy hours, hikes, gatherings at popular restaurants. Oakvik described the atmosphere as relaxed, not intimidating.

Young professional groups are “extremely important for any type of chamber,” said Annie Smiley, director of marketing and events of the West

Chamber of Commerce, which has 750 members across Jefferson County and the metro area.

“Our goal is to prepare the future leaders of the chamber,” Smiley said.

“Eventually these individuals are going to take on larger roles within the chamber.”

Clelia McVay, events and programs coordinator of the Metro North Chamber of Commerce, has a similar outlook. The Westminster-based chamber’s Young Professionals Network was created last summer to provide networking opportunities for all levels of business and community leaders, McVay said. The group meets for formal events, such as a presentation, and informal events, such as a meetup at

a local brewery. Members also participate in a couple of community service projects throughout the year.

“Young Professionals are able to become engaged in the community they live and work in on a much deeper level,” McVay said.

Young professional groups within chambers are for the next leaders of the business community, said Jacob Day, a member of the Highlands Ranch Chamber.

After noticing young professionals attending chamber events — monthly luncheons, trivia nights, grand openings and more — and not continuing with the chamber, Day, a 35-year-old who works in finance, spearheaded Young Professionals of Highlands Ranch. Twenty members signed up for the first event, a happy hour on July 20 at Hilton Garden Inn in Highlands Ranch.

Andrea LaRew, president of the chamber, said she was hearing from young professionals that it was intimidating to attend chamber events and engage with professionals who are established in their career. The new group allows young professionals to create relationships with peers, partner with mentors and explore career paths, LaRew said.

“Young professionals who are just entering the workforce or are new to their field have different wants and needs than those who are seasoned in their career,” she said.

Shelby Schacher started YP Leads!, a young professional group within the South Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce, because she saw a need for a place where young adults in similar stages of life could connect. Schacher, 25, joined the Centennial-based chamber when she was out of college and starting her career.

“Everybody is in suits and dresses and they already have their establishment and know what they are talking about,” she said of chamber meetings.

“It’s intimidating to walk in and be the new person.”

Started last November, YP Leads! meets twice a month for a range of activities, from discussions about business development and social media marketing strategies to field trips to a member’s business. There are currently 17 members and the group will cap out at 20 to keep it small and build relationships, Schacher said.

The group offers encouragement and

“We can all relate to each other as far as difficulties,” she said, “and also successes.”

Smiley has had a similar experience. She said she has met some of her best friends through West Chamber’s young professionals group, which she revamped about a year ago. The group — about 200 people are signed up online and 30 to 40 attend events — meets monthly for activities. On Aug. 19, they hiked North Table Mountain Park and then networked at a restaurant in Golden. An Oct. 12 event called Fish Bowl will feature a panel of five seasoned businesspeople. Participants don’t have to be members of the Lakewoodbased chamber — though the goal is to expand the chamber — and must be under 40 years old.

Events cater to five pillars: access, social, education, activities and philanthropy. Smiley came up with the structure to help young professionals build relationships with mentors and peers, balance work and life through activities and contribute to the community.

“Members have invested in this group because they see the value in it,” Smiley said. “It’s creating friendships and bonds.”

Colorado’s transportation agency began using a driverless truck recently that is designed to protect highway work crews from oncoming traffic.

The truck is officially known as an Autonomous Impact Protection Vehicle, but it is not really autonomous like the self-driving cars being tested around the country. Instead, the truck is electronically controlled by a driver in another truck ahead of it.

If the protection vehicle loses its electronic “tether” to the lead vehicle, it is programmed to pull over and stop.

Like other trucks that follow highway crews and display messages or arrows telling drivers to shift lanes, it has a large cushion to absorb the impact of vehicles that may crash into it. In Colorado, that happens an average of six times a year, making driving such vehicles one of the most dangerous highway jobs, state officials say.

“It just didn’t make any sense to me to have a human being in a truck designed to be hit,” Shailen Bhatt, executive director of the Colorado Department of Transportation, said in an interview Aug. 18.

With a growing population and billions in unfunded road projects, Colorado has embraced technology to help it make the best use of the roads it already has. But while the state hopes to eventually add more

driverless escort trucks, freeing up workers for other duties, Bhatt said safety, not saving money, is the main motivation.

Bhatt said he believed that Colorado is the first place to use the driverless trucks for road work. His department says it has been tested in Florida but not deployed. The Federal Highway Administration said it was not aware of any other such trucks in use.

Officials used the vehicle Aug. 18 to follow a crew striping a road in Fort Collins, home to Colorado State University. It will be used more widely in the fall after further testing and consultation with the Colorado State Patrol, Bhatt said. Eventually, it may be used on all sorts of road projects, including snow plowing.

The truck was built by Pennsylvania-based Royal Truck & Equipment using technology adapted by another firm, Kratos Defense and Security Solutions, from the military. The transportation department said another company, Colas UK, is testing the technology for use in the United Kingdom and also shared its lessons.

A representative with Californiabased Consumer Watchdog, a nonprofit group skeptical of driverless technology, said Colorado’s experiment has the potential to save lives.

John Simpson said the technology sounds like that being tested for rows of trucks that follow a lead vehicle, allowing them to save fuel by drafting off one another. But he said billing it as autonomous misrepresents what truly autonomous vehicles can do, such as navigate their own routes and turn.

“This is a very novel and probably very good application of the technology once it’s fail-safe and people see it for what it is,” Simpson said.

Furthermore, would-be clubs must stay twice as far as liquor stores from schools and anywhere children congregate, including playgrounds and sports fields.

“We can’t be in places where it makes sense,” said Kayvan Khalatbari, a Denver marijuana consultant who helped run last year’s club campaign.

City officials say the rules are as flexible as possible given stiff resistance from some community groups and marijuana skeptics. The voter-approved club measure also says the club licenses are a pilot program and neighborhood groups must agree to allow a club before it could open.

“There were no surprises in the rules,” said Dan Rowland, spokesman for the Denver

department that regulates marijuana businesses. “They reflect all the comments we got from the community.”

One hopeful applicant says the regulations are stringent but still a step forward for the industry.

“A lot of us are hoping this will ... open the doors for a new kind of business,” said Connor Lux, who runs a co-working space for the cannabis industry and plans to apply for a social-use license to hold public, weed-friendly events at his business just north of downtown Denver. Applying for a license costs $1,000; the license itself is $1,000 a year.

Lux envisions open-to-the-public networking events at his space, and downplays the idea of a “giant smoke-out, everybody-coming-toget-high kind of thing.”

Khalatbari has sued Colorado’s liquor regulators over the ban on pot and alcohol in the same location, a lawsuit that hasn’t

yet been heard, and says he is considering a lawsuit against the city for what he believes are onerous club rules.

Khalatbari noted Denver has much looser distance requirements for places selling alcohol, even allowing bicycle bars to cruise past schools and churches. The mobile bars with drivers ferry groups of pedaling drinkers from one tavern to the next.

“You can ride these stupid moronic bike bars down the street, getting hammered in public. But we’re not giving people a safer choice, even though voters have said over and over again they want to go that way,” Khalatbari said.

Colorado’s marijuana law neither allows nor denies pot clubs, leaving the state with a patchwork of local club rules. Some jurisdictions tolerate them; in others, clubs operate underground, with members arranging meetups using social media.

TEACHER FROM PAGE 2

How do you get your class’s attention if students are talking or off task?

This is my second year teaching seniors and honestly, they are not often off task nor do they need much to get their attention! When I taught middle school, I found countdowns really useful because it gave students time to wind down their conversations.

Most of the time if students are off task it is because they are confused or they have concerns about something outside the classroom. I simply ask a student if they have a question about the assignment or if everything is OK. If they don’t have questions and they are fine, I repeat the directions for the assignment.

I find that is usually enough to get kids back on track and if there is a problem, they now have space to voice it.

State lawmakers earlier this year decided against a plan to regulate marijuana clubs statewide.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper warned that passing the measure could invite a federal crackdown.

The situation is similar in other legal-pot states.

Alaska’s 2014 marijuana measure allowed for on-site pot consumption at potential “tasting rooms,” though regulators in that state have yet to allow any to open.

And measures approved last year in California and Massachusetts allowed for pot clubs, but both states are still working out rules.

That moment made me realize that we are all doing that best that we can with what we have and no single one of us (parents, teachers, administrators) has all the answers.

Englewood location part of latest round of Kmart closures City hopes to connect employees to other opportunities

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As the national downturn for the chain — and retail in general — continues, the Kmart at South Broadway and West Belleview Avenue in Englewood will close in mid-November, its parent company announced Aug. 24.

“I don’t know that it’s a surprise,” said Brad Power, director of community development for the City of Englewood, who noted that Sears Holdings Corp. has announced several closures in recent years.

Englewood’s Kmart is part of a round of 28 closures nationwide that includes the location at 15200 E. Colfax Ave. in Aurora. It knocks the total of Kmart stores in Colorado to just four — locations in Pueblo, Loveland, Colorado Springs and Arvada will still remain.

Sears Holdings Corp. has closed about 180 of its stores — including Kmart and Sears locations — in fiscal year 2017, and another 150 stores are expected to be closed by the end of the third quarter of 2017, the company said in a news release.

The 28 new Kmart closures come in addition to those closures already announced.

“It points to what’s going on with the retail sector in the country,” Power said. “Kmart’s just one of (the companies affected).”

Power said the city has been watching to see what would happen with the Englewood location during the several closings announced nationally.

In the 26-week period ending July 30, 2016, Kmart made about $4.4 billion in total revenues. In the same period ending July 29 of this year, that number was down to about $3 billion.

There haven’t been many cars in the large parking lot, said Darren Hollingsworth, Englewood’s economic development manager. The building is 146,256 square feet and covers 11.5 acres, including the parking lot, according to Arapahoe County data.

“It’s reflective of the fact that the best retailers now have a really strong niche,” Power said. “Big-box stores are really struggling with the new internet economy.”

Sears Holdings announced in July an agreement with Amazon to sell its Kenmore brand products on Amazon.com.

City officials said the closing may be an opportunity for positive development in the area.

“This will certainly have an impact upon our sales tax (revenue),

It’s Almost Here!

‘This will certainly have an impact upon our sales tax (revenue), but it will also open up opportunities for redevelopment.’

but it will also open up opportunities for redevelopment,” said Eric Keck, Englewood’s city manager.

Power said making the location “more walkable and more bikefriendly” to better connect it to the neighborhood could be an outcome the city pushes for with whomever might develop the property. The city was in the process of reaching out to the current property owner in the afternoon Aug. 24.

Power said the city looks at it as a redevelopment site because it’s unlikely another large retailer will buy the property.

“That’s not in the cards,” Power said, noting the size of the property and the struggling retail landscape in general.

A few real estate brokers had approached the city about acquiring the property in the past few years, Hollingsworth said.

“It’s high-profile,” Hollingsworth said. It’s “in a very visible, accessible location ... right in the heart of a pretty dynamic area.”

The closure is unfortunate for employees, Power said.

“Those associates that are eligible will receive severance and have the opportunity to apply for open positions at area Sears or Kmart stores,” said Howard Riefs, corporate communications director for Sears Holdings.

The store has 32 employees, including managers.

Hollingsworth said the city is reaching out to the Arapahoe/Douglas Works! Workforce Center, a service of the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, to connect Kmart employees to job training and new job opportunities.

“Folks are impacted by this, so we want to make sure they are connected to some resources that can be of assistance to them,” Hollingsworth said.

ld friends,” Simon and Garfunkel sang, “sat on their park bench like book ends.”

Smitty would need a helping hand to sit on a park bench with me. I carry him up and down the stairs too. Our walks are shorter and shorter, sometimes no farther than the driveway.

His veterinarian, Dr. Bowman, said, “He still has his dignity,” and I guess he does. He is not in pain, and he is not suffering. His appetite is good, and his eyes are shiny.

He is incontinent and deaf, and he doesn’t always know where I am, but he always wants to be near me. It’s a very good thing that I work at home.

It’s also a good thing that he doesn’t weigh any more than my bowling ball. Some of my neighbors have very large dogs. I would be unable to carry one of them around. It’s something I never considered when I began to favor the breed.

“Big ears, I know you’re the one.”

Smitty’s ears are quite large. There seems to be leftover material. But there’s a reason and a purpose, although we have never tested it.

Dachshunds were bred to hunt badgers. Badgers burrow in the ground. Dachshunds, I’m told, would stand at the entrance, and listen intently. Leaning forward, their big ears were capable of capturing the sounds below.

Nature, huh?

Dachshunds that hunt might actually go below ground, and signal the hunter with another feature of the breed: their bark is far larger than the dog. If you own a dachshund, or live near one, you know what I mean.

I would do what I am doing for Smitty if it were a human family member who lived with me.

Does he run around the house or the park like he once did? No. But neither do I. A reader offered to make a custom-sized diaper. I declined. Instead, I have a shelf of dachshund-dedicated, absorbent hand towels that get the job done.

When I first heard this quote many years ago there was an addition made to the original quote and it went like this, “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care … about them.” This really personalized the meaning for many people as it focused the intent beyond the caring of a topic, a situation, a company or a generality; it added the element of making it about a specific person or group. It made it about you.

If you have ever had a

one-sided conversation you probably have experienced the feeling that the other person really didn’t care about you, they cared more about telling you about themselves and what has happened or is happening to them now. No matter what topic you bring up, instead of listening and asking questions, they immediately try and talk about a similar situation in their own life, or they try to center the discussion back on to their own story.

Now sometimes this is OK and even appreciated when we are seeking guidance or advice or perhaps learning from someone who is speaking. And it is even better when that person shows a genuine and sincere interest in us or helping us to advance or move past a problem.

Time compression seems to be everyone’s enemy these days. However, time compression should never force us into a position of shortchanging the most important people in our lives. And the person sitting in front of us or on the other end of the

‘A lifelong training’

Kids as young as 5 years old attend a Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu class, where they learn discipline and self defense. The young students fill out cards before each class to track their progress and receive colored belts when they hit a milestone in the program. “To keep kids involved,” said studio owner Robert Goodloe, “they need to see progression.”

Studios across Denver metro area teach range of martial arts

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

N

icole Gossett’s 9-year-old son has been practicing karate at ATA Family Martial Arts in Highlands Ranch for the past year. He has become a positive influence for the “not very athletic family,” Gossett said.

“Watching him be so disciplined practicing at home and in the studio,” Gossett said, “we all have done a lot more sit-ups and squats and push-ups in the last year.”

Adults practice self defense moves at a Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu class, held at 4181 East County Line Road. The month-long program teaches discipline and builds strength.

Karate, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, taekwondo, muay thai, kickboxing — the list of martial arts forms goes on.

Though the names are distinctive, their styles all have something in common: self-defense.

According to Black Belt Magazine, martial arts date back to 2600 B.C. in China.

Emperors, troops and tribesmen used the defensive movements in battle. The practice evolved across the globe and many popular styles have made their way into fitness gyms and studios across the U.S. Robert Goodloe, owner of Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, was studying for his master’s degree in business administration at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, 10 years ago when he first tried a Brazilian jiu-jitsu class.

“I started training at the studio and I never left,” said Goodloe, a Highlands Ranch resident. He opened the second Gracie Barra studio in Colorado — the first is in Colorado Springs — at 4181 E. County Line Road in July.

SOME POPULAR MARTIAL ARTS A quick Google search reveals that dozens of martial arts studios can be found throughout the Denver metro area. Here’s a look at some of the most popular types of martial arts being taught in the area: Taekwondo A Korean martial art focused on punches, blocks, strikes and kicks. The style builds character and self-discipline. It is practiced around the world and is an Olympic sport.

Karate A Japanese martial art based on fighting techniques, including punches, hand and elbow strikes, knee strikes and kicks. One of the most practiced martial arts in the U.S., the style embeds self-discipline and strong character.

Judo A Japanese martial art that uses throwing and grappling

techniques instead of strikes and kicks. Participants throw or trip their competitor to get them on their back.

Judo also focuses on mental discipline.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu A Brazilian martial art focused on self-defense. The style teaches a smaller person how to defend himself or herself against a larger opponent and how to escape from an opponent.

Muay thai A martial arts style from Thailand that is similar to kickboxing — a stand-up sport practiced with gloves — but includes elbow and knee strikes.

DEFENSE

Kids as young as 5 years old attend a Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu class, where they learn discipline and self defense. The type of martial arts is offered to kids and adults at 4181 East County Line Road.

FROM PAGE 10

Benefits of martial arts are far reaching. From engraining a strong sense of discipline to strengthening muscles, the sport boosts mind and body, teachers and participants say.

Body In an evening class at Gracie Barra Centennial Jiu-Jitsu, a small group of adults wearing white kimonos — a matching long sleeve shirt and pants worn with a colored belt to signify the level of experience — listen carefully to instructors before gently performing a series of grappling moves with a partner. Intertwined on the mat, they learn how to defend themselves.

Martial arts use quick movements that increase flexibility. Using chokes and holds, Brazilian jiu-jitsu was originally for a smaller inidividual to defend against and escape from a larger person. Taekwando emphasizes kicking. Karate focuses more on hand movements, including punching and knee and elbow strikes.

Although martial arts teach fighting movements, typically they do not encourage fighting.

“We teach how to use our body to defend ourselves,” said Irene Bowden, instructor of Shotokan Karate Colorado in Lone Tree. “A lot of people will come to train and learn how to kick and punch and they may never in their lifetime get in a fight.”

The Showticon karate style — re-

ferred to as an empty-hand method of teaching self defense without weapons — builds muscle strength, flexibility, stamina and makes participants feel good, said Bowden.

She started training with her sensei, or instructor, Gary Swain, more than 16 years ago to get in shape and learn self-defense. Karate has since become a “wonderful addiction,” Bowden said.

She teaches three classes at the Lone Tree Recreation Center: Shotokan Tigers for ages 5 to 7, Stars Special Needs for ages 6 and older, and Women’s Self-Defense for ages 13 and older.

Mind In a Gracie Barra Centennial JiuJitsu class, participants of all ages follow etiquette guidelines. They bow before getting on and off the mat. Talking is kept to a minimum.

Comprehensive Heart Care The Denver Heart Team

Uniforms are worn. Professors, or instructors, are treated with respect.

“I think people start to see the value of discipline,” Goodloe said.

“It’s really a challenge to yourself. It improves your whole way of living.”

Martial arts have a strong focus on moral values, discipline and character, experts say. Participants can use the mental skills to excel in competitive martial arts, but also in other areas of life.

Gossett signed her son up more than a year ago to help shift his focus from distractions at school. The goal-oriented nature of martial arts helped him, she said. At ATA Family Martial Arts, participants are tested for belts — which signify a level of experience — every two months.

“The discipline of martial arts was a huge component to give him structure,” Gossett said. “He sees the consequences of positive and

negative actions.”

Some studios offer family classes, where parents can practice with their children. One of those is Personal Achievement Martial Arts, 3964 Youngfield Street, in Wheat Ridge.

Having parents present increases kids’ focus, said founder Korey Stites.

Instructors encourage better grades, respect, focus in and out of the classroom and leadership.

“It’s also something they can do together,” Stites said. “You’re actually participating and doing everything right alongside the kids.”

In martial arts, there is always room to grow, physically and mentally.

Karate has changed Bowden’s life dramatically, she said. The Realtor and mother of three calls the form of martial arts her passion.

“Martial arts in our view is considered a lifelong training,” Bowden said.

“It’s something that you learn to love.”

Bouton marks two decades at helm of Denver Concert Band “I always wanted to be a teacher,” Jacinda Bouton said. With a degree in instrumental and vocal music from Missouri State in Springfield, she was teaching music at George Washington High School in Denver. Parents of several of her students were members of the long-running (56 years) Denver Concert Band. “A group showed up and invited me to audition” when the band sought a new director, she said.

She ran a rehearsal and auditioned on two or three pieces. That was 20 years ago and the band celebrates her leadership this season.

Her instrument of choice is the clarinet, she said, but as a band director, one pretty much needs to know how to play all of them. She is excited to have clarinetist Jeremy Reynolds from the University of Denver’s Newman School of Music as soloist in the Lone Tree Symphony’s May 4 concert.

“They selected me,” she says happily, “and it’s been great — some of my best friends are Denver Concert Band members. They come from all walks of life: teachers, dentists, insurance people, who learned an instrument and maybe put it down for 20 or 30 years … one can’t always play football, but you can always play an instrument. Our flutist is 90 years old and has been with the band for 50 years.”

When the Lone Tree Arts Center opened, Bouton was able to move the 90-member band there to enjoy the hall’s great acoustics.

Regarding programming: “A small music committee of band members meets and throws ideas out. They bring pieces I’ve never heard. We try for a theme…” Then Bouton decides the program.

She always attends the Midwest Band and Orchestra Convention in Chicago, especially to hear new music.

IF YOU GO Tickets for the Denver Concert Band and the Lone Tree Symphony Orchestra are available at the Lone Tree Arts Center, 10025 Commons St. The box office is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and during performances. Denverconcertband.org/lonetree-arts-center; lonetreesymphony.org; 720-509-1000.

“Sonoran Desert” on this year’s Lone Tree Symphony program is one such work. “We need to play those.”

The Denver Concert Band’s season begins with “Western Winds” on Oct. 1, followed by “Harvests and Holidays” on Nov. 19. “Up and Away” will be Feb. 25 and “Spring Fever” on April 28.

Concerts are at 2 p.m. on Saturdays or Sundays.

Some band members also play in the “Show and Tell Band,” conducted by Ken Kopatich of Littleton, in concerts for school kids. Kopatich and his wife, Joanne, organize the band’s annual Young Artists Competition and feature the winner in the April 28 concert. High school seniors who play a band instrument compete and the winner receives a $2000 scholarship.

For the past 16 years, Jacinda Bouton has also conducted the Lone Tree Symphony, which will perform four concerts at the Lone Tree Arts Center.

She said a new group of volunteers, the “Symphomaniacs,” is formed this year and seeking members to help with grant writing, fundraising and other activities.

The LTSO tries to coordinate with the RTD Senior Ride Program when possible, Bouton said. Season programs: “British Isles” 7:30 p.m. Oct. 6; “Sleigh Ride in Winter,” at 7:30 p.m.

Dec. 1 and 2:30 p.m. Dec. 2; “Symphony and Young Voices” at 7:30 p.m. March 2; “Clarinet and More!” at 7:30 p.m.

May 4.
