Police to begin taking more data during contacts Auditor, law enforcement have often been at odds

efforts are having little difference at the front of the classroom.

Seventy percent of the 929 new teachers hired for this school year are white, which is the same percentage as last year and only slightly more diverse than the overall teacher workforce.

Nationwide, about 80 percent of all public school teachers are white.

That percentage is even higher

The Denver Police Department will soon collect more data about the race, age and sex of people who are stopped by officers, according to Deputy Chief Matt Murray.

Denver Auditor Tim O’Brien recommended this step back in January 2016 as a way to better measure and guard against racial profiling. Chief Robert White initially refused before agreeing in August of that year. O’Brien recently criticized the department for not yet implementing the program more than a year later, but Murray said the department is making progress.

Under the new system, police will make a record of the demographic information of every person that they stop on the streets and sidewalks, Murray told Denverite.

Currently, officers only collect that information if they ticket or

DPS struggles with racial makeup of teaching force Educators of color don’t match percentages of student body

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT.ORG

Despite efforts to diversify its teacher workforce, Denver Public Schools still faces an imbalance that

plagues many school districts across the country: About three-quarters of its 92,000 students are children of color, but 73 percent of its teachers this year are white.

That number remains unchanged from last year.

Although DPS tried to hire more teachers of color through targeted recruitment and other strategies, and while it’s had some success diversifying its principal pool, its

Sky-high rents squeeze long-time residents Housing prices put the hurt on workforce

WHAT’S IT COST? Median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in September for area cities in which the number was available at ApartmentList.com:

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mary Ann Parker can’t talk about her apartment search without crying.

The 58-year-old on disability rents a room in a house in Commerce City for $750 a month, which eats up most of her $840 a month disability check. She longs to live closer to her daughter and her newborn grandchild in Castle Rock, but after months of searching, she’s discouraged.

“I can’t even afford to put in application fees,” Parker said. “I can’t part with $50 for every place, just to be turned down over and over. And first and last month’s rent and a security deposit after that? It’s just impossible.”

Parker has moved several times over the last few years, chasing cheap rents that keep creeping up. She narrowly missed a slot in a south metro housing authority when a change-of-address form didn’t go through, and she missed the notification. She’s been trying to apply to other housing authority boards around the metro area, but most aren’t accepting new applicants because the waiting lists are already years long.

Things are tense with the other boarders in the house, and one of her few sources of comfort is Butterfly, her certified therapy dog Papillon, who eases the symptoms of Parker’s PTSD, depression and anxiety.

“She keeps me from getting so lonely,” Parker said.

Parker’s story is emblematic of the challenges faced by renters across the metro area, where rents climbed 52 percent between 2005 and 2015, according to Apartment List, a rental listing site that also researches industry trends. An influx of people lured by a healthy job market have strained the capacity of the construction industry and pushed people like Parker to the margins.

“It’s basically two camps: The first is those that have moved here from somewhere else, many times with a job, many times from a more expensive

Mary Ann Parker wants to move from Commerce City to be closer to her newborn granddaughter in Castle Rock, but a white-hot rental market has left her discouraged and frustrated.

DAVID GILBERT market,” said Ron Throupe, the author of the quarterly Denver Metro Apartment Vacancy and Rent report and a professor at the University of Denver.

“For them, the prices are not much of a burden.

“But those that have been here a long time, they’re living on the economy they grew from, and they’re on different footing than those in-migrating.

They’re the ones feeling the pressures.”

‘People won’t want to stay’ The median rent in the Denver metro area was $1,377 in the second quarter, according to Throupe’s report, and builders can’t cut the ribbon on new apartments fast enough.

More than 11,000 new apartments came online last year, and 10,000 more opened in the first half of 2017. Vacancy rates remain low, around 5 percent.

Colorado’s population continues to grow by roughly 10,000 people a month, with the overwhelming majority settling along the Front Range.

Skyrocketing housing prices have many young people looking elsewhere to start a family, said Sydney Bennet, a researcher with Apartment List. A recent study by the company found that two-thirds of Denver renters want to settle down somewhere else.

“If these cost trends continue, people won’t want to stay,” Bennet said.

“People from San Jose, San Francisco

• Arvada: $1,190

• Littleton: $1,450

• Aurora: $1,250

• Lone Tree: $1,620

• Englewood: $1,200

• Parker: $1,420

• Denver: $1,070

• Thornton: $1,440

• Golden: $1,230

• Westminster: $1,250

or New York move here because it’s comparatively more affordable. But for people who have lived here for 20 or 30 years, it’s unprecedented. You have a lot of strain on lower- and middle-income families who have never had to spend so much toward housing.”

Bennet said eventually the trends are likely to flatten out some, with in-migration slowing and apartment construction catching up, but prices aren’t likely to come down.

That’s because the vast majority of new rental stock is high-end, Throupe said, with few builders bothering with workforce housing. That leaves lowincome earners with little wiggle room, and even exerts upward pressure on the rents on mid-range apartments.

A shortage of starter homes has meant many people can’t make the jump from renting to owning, Throupe said, after the recession knocked many custom home builders out of business and with tract home builders only now back in full swing.

What’s the solution?

One barrier to making the jump has been unintended consequences of Colorado’s decade-old construction defects law, which allowed as few as two owners in a condominium development to file class-action lawsuits against developers and builders for defective units for years after they were completed, said

Republican state Sen. Jack Tate, who represents District 27, covering a swath of the southeast metro area, including Centennial and parts of Aurora.

Tate said the law meant that nearly all condo builders in the state were mired in excessive litigation, and made builders gun-shy about building more condos when apartments were much lower risk. Condos are generally considered a starting point for new homeowners because of their lower cost than single-family homes. Tate said the law meant that condos went from 20 percent of the metro area’s new housing stock in 2005 to only 2 percent today.

Tate cosponsored a bipartisan reform bill aimed at reducing the law’s impact by upping the class-action requirement to a majority of a condo development’s residents, and narrowing the timeframe to a 90-day election period.

The law, signed by Gov. John Hickenlooper in May, took effect in early September. Tate said it’s too soon to know if the law will spur condo development, but he hears optimism among builders.

“Homeownership is important,” Tate said “We should not underestimate how critical condominiums are as an entry point for young people and a place for older folks to downsize.”

More action on the part of governments may be necessary, said Brad Evans, a former real estate agent turned consultant and self-proclaimed “professional agitator” for smart growth.

Evans, who lives in Lakewood, said some cities are turning toward growth restrictions that only send rents and housing prices even higher.

He’s fighting a proposal in Lakewood that he said will turn it into “the next Boulder.”

“Growth restrictions will murder people,” Evans said. “Tax rates will skyrocket. Granny in her 1960s ranch will be on the hook for a lot more in taxes.”

Evans said that both restricting and encouraging sprawl have their drawbacks.

“We need intergovernmental agreements on developing workforce housing,” Evans said. “We need a healthy mix of condos, townhomes, single family and for-rent product. We can’t be afraid of change. Instead of battling, how do we collaborate?”

Denver woman helps after hurricanes STAFF REPORT

A behavioral health specialist from Denver has returned home after assisting the federal health response to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.

Deb Hutson was part of National Disaster Medical System team that provided care to more than 2,200 people affected by Hurricane Irma. During the response to Hurricane Harvey, National Disaster Medical System teams helped more than 5,300 patients.

As part of the response to Hurricane Irma, National Disaster Medical System members operated a mobile

arrest someone, and in some other cases. “What people around the country and in Denver are asking for is more than that,” he said.

The auditor’s report suggested that officers always record the birth date, gender and race of people they stop. The auditor also suggested that officers record the reason they stopped the person and the outcome. That kind of data could show whether an officer was, for example, pulling over a higher number of

medical unit in the Florida Keys, which was hard-hit by the storm, and supported temporary care sites in the state along with U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps officers.

In addition, medical teams provided care at a shelter in Puerto Rico and at an overwhelmed hospital emergency department in St. Thomas, and triaged evacuees from multiple islands as they reach Puerto Rico. A National Disaster Medical System task force also embedded with Urban Search and Rescue to find dialysis patients and aided the U.S. Virgin Islands in evacuating

these patients to Puerto Rico.

“Dedicated members of the NDMS from around the country have been vital to the medical responses to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma and providing needed care to those affected by these devastating storms,” said Ron Miller, acting director of the National Disaster Medical System. “NDMS’s goal is to provide the best care in the worst of times, and we will be there to serve until states no longer need us.”

The National Disaster Medical System is a federal program that supports communities with medical

care and mortuary assistance during disasters or public health emergencies at the request of states; it is among the resources made available by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. Teams consist of physicians, nurses, veterinary staff, paramedics, fatality management professionals, and experienced command and control staff.

black drivers without citing them for any infraction.

“The instrument we’re developing has all of those and many more items that we are going to collect,” Murray said of the auditor’s request.

clusive,” because it also considered questions such as whether black people make up a larger portion of pedestrians.

The department hasn’t yet decided how it will collect the data this time, Murray said, but it has signed up the nonprofit Center for Policing Equity to work on the project. CPE is working with cities including Pittsburgh; Austin, Texas; and Berkeley, California, and it recently got funding from Google. In 2016, CPE published a study that found police were more likely to use force against black people.

Denver could start sending data to CPE in a matter of weeks, but won’t get any analysis back for a year or so, Murray said. CPE’s work will not cost Denver anything.

“They issue a report and talk about disparate treatment. It’s extremely comprehensive,” Murray said. “I think that the community will be more than satisfied with the kinds of data and the analysis that would go into this.”

Police will not collect data when the interaction isn’t started by the officer — for example, when someone on the 16th Street Mall asks for directions.

The auditor’s office and the police department have a pretty contentious relationship.

The auditor’s office called out DPD in a press release Sept. 28, titling it, “Denver Police Refuse to Implement Audit Recommendations to Avoid Racial Profiling.”

The release dinged DPD for not collecting the data mentioned above, although DPD never actually agreed to collect it.

Data collected years ago Denver did collect this kind of data from 2001 to 2003.

It was required by state law at the time. An analysis by the auditor’s office found that black people made up 37 percent of all pedestrian stops in that time, despite being only about 11 percent of the population.

The auditor’s analysis was “incon-

Rough start Originally, police leadership rejected the suggestion.

The department said at the time that collecting information in all officer-initiated actions “is intrusive and may turn positive police contacts into negative interactions.”

The department also said that it would “not support an efficient use of resources” and would require more money.

Officers “make hundreds of thousands of proactive contacts that may or may not result in enforcement action,” the department’s response noted in 2016, specifically noting that officers would have to get information about the “positive youth contacts” it’s pursuing.

That stance appears to have changed over the course of a year and a half that has included plenty of community discussion, but Murray still has concerns.

“What we don’t want to do is create a situation where our officers are so busy doing contact cards that they don’t have time to respond to calls,” Murray said.

Departmental conflict The auditor’s follow-up also pointed out that DPD has not implemented a survey called the Community Policing Self-Assessment Tool, which is a nationally used survey of police staff that tries to assess whether they’re forming good community partnerships, among other questions.

Murray said the department did follow the original recommendation to “reach out” and research the survey. The department decided that it didn’t want to risk “survey fatigue.” Its timing would have put it in competition with a different survey of city staff, he said.

“The auditor is obviously misinformed. Hopefully he’ll get the rest of the information he needs. We are in total compliance with all of the audit,” Murray said.

O’Brien’s office said, basically, that they’ll believe it when they see it.

“If DPD has plans to implement the recommendations from the audit, we support that. However our reports work with facts and until there is documentation and data showing these efforts there is no way to hold the department accountable to their policies,” wrote spokesperson Tayler Overschmidt.

In a news release, O’Brien said he is pushing for changes that could make local policing more effective and engaged.

“It’s important for Denver Police policies to protect and serve all people equally,” he said. “There is no way to tell if officers are stopping people without bias regarding race, gender or age if officers choose not to document demographic data.”

This past week I overheard a comment being made, and it was the second time in a couple of months that I heard the same comment so it caught my attention.

bad.” This is a management issue and cultural issue that is being addressed, it just spoke volumes to me about the acceptance of mediocrity.

He too was asked to lower the bar.

We live in a world of incredibly talented and gifted people. Individuals who are blessed with a tireless work ethic and have developed skills that bring benefit and joy to many people. And yet, on the other side, we also live in a world where mediocrity almost seems like an accepted norm. And whenever I observe such behavior or attitudes, especially when there is so much obvious talent and potential, I am reminded of the statement, “Talent without effort breeds mediocrity.”

Are you OK with lowering the bar for yourself ?

The best way to elevate performance is too set goals for ourselves. Set goals that are in alignment with what we want to be, who we want to be, and where we want to go in life. Set goals that are in alignment with our dreams. And then we need to establish mini stretch goals that will help to keep us on track and to continuously raise the bar for ourselves.

We need to do this regardless of living in a society or even with some people around us who may like the bar where it is set right now. And as we see, some even prefer to lower the bar.

It’s not just in volunteer work or in a selling career, we see it in all walks of life. We see it in students, athletes, artists, and professionals at every level.

Some are just brilliant and still work so hard for themselves and for the good of others. We even see those who may lack the skills or talent but will outwork everyone around them. These are the people who continually raise the bar for themselves and who never accept mediocrity. These people inspire me the most.

So how about you? Is there a bar that needs to be lifted in your own life? Can you help someone else raise the bar just a little higher so they too can achieve their goals and realize their dreams? I would love to hear all about your own elevated performance stories at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can raise the bar and avoid mediocrity, it really will be a better than good week.

in Colorado’s second-largest school district, neighboring Jeffco Public Schools, where about a third of students are children of color. State statistics show that in 2016-17, 90 percent of Jeffco teachers were white.

“We’re encouraged that we’re ahead of both the national average and surrounding districts,” Katie Clymer, DPS’s director of talent acquisition, wrote in an email. She added that DPS understands “the urgency for our students today, and (is) eager to continue to push forward.”

Some research shows students of color benefit academically and socially when they’re taught by teachers who share the same background. A recent study found low-income black students who have even one black teacher in elementary school are more likely to graduate from high school.

While students of color in Denver are making academic progress, recent state test scores showed that white students and non-low-income students are still outpacing them.

The district’s school leaders are more diverse. Additionally, 39 percent of the new assistant principals and principals hired for 2017-18 were educators of color.

District officials credit a “grow-your-own” strategy for recruiting diverse principals.

Almost all of the principals hired in the past couple of years have been from within DPS, said Debbie Hearty, the district’s chief human resources officer. It’s easier to grow teachers of color into leaders once they’re already in the district than it is to get diverse teachers in the door, she explained.

“Our pipelines coming into teaching from the traditional routes are not as diverse as we need them to be,” Hearty said. “…In the principalship, we have a more captive audience.”

ditional teacher preparation programs is declining, and state colleges aren’t producing enough teaching graduates — let alone graduates of color — to keep up with demand.

Many districts, including DPS, recruit from out of state.

To that end, DPS recruiters last year visited 17 colleges and universities across the country that graduate high proportions of top-performing teachers of color, Clymer said. They sometimes brought along alumni who are now teaching in DPS to speak about their experiences.

But convincing graduates to apply for jobs in Denver isn’t always easy, Clymer said.

“We’re fighting against the perception that Denver is a white ski town,” she said.

Connecting potential recruits with educators of color already working in DPS gives them a more realistic picture, Clymer said. The district is also launching a new employee resource group for educators of color to help them feel connected once they’re hired, she said.

“When you have current employees of color saying, ‘This is a place I can thrive,’ that unofficial recruiting is a powerful way to increase diversity,” Hearty said.

A joint effort between the city of Denver, DPS and several charter schools is also showing promise, Clymer said. The Make Your Mark campaign kicked off in March 2016 with the aim of selling the city to educators of color.

Fifteen top minority teaching candidates visited Denver that month for a three-day whirlwind tour dubbed the Mile High Showcase that included school visits, a job fair, a Nuggets basketball game and dinner at a Mexican restaurant.

This year, the campaign shifted gears, Clymer said. After finding that many candidates who attended the showcase were already sold on Denver and didn’t need convincing, she said organizers eschewed hosting a tour for a select group of candidates in favor of launching more wide-ranging recruitment campaigns in Pueblo, Chicago and Puerto Rico.

In response to candidates

expressing trepidation about Denver’s rising housing costs, organizers posted a list of local housing assistance programs on the Make Your Mark website. DPS compiled an even more comprehensive guide to housing, childcare and other resources. Inquiries from would-be teachers and principals to the Make Your Mark website are growing fast, Clymer said.

But she said recruitment can only do so much given the finite pool of teaching graduates of color. Ultimately, Clymer said, “you’re not going to hire your way out of this problem.”

That’s why DPS is also focused on convincing more young people and paraprofessionals to become teachers, and holding on to the teachers of color it already has, officials said.

This year is the second of a DPS program that pays for paraprofessionals to earn a bachelor’s degree and a teaching license while keeping their jobs for most of the time they’re in school.

More than 50 percent of participants are educators of color, Hearty said. But she said it’s too early to gauge the multiyear program’s effectiveness at diversifying the DPS teaching force.

That’s even more true for another DPS “grow-your-own” effort that targets high school students interested in a teaching career. Called EdConnect, the program launches in three DPS high schools this year and will offer students classes and work experience related to teaching.

Numbers show the district does a better job of keeping diverse educators once they’re hired. In fact, turnover was lower this year for DPS educators of color than for white educators.

But while that trend is encouraging, officials said the district understands it needs to move faster.

“We’re excited the changes we’re making are beginning to show positive gains,” Clymer said. Now, she added, it’s about figuring out how to capitalize on those gains to make more.

‘When it comes to injuries, listen to your body’

efore entering her career, Julie Nickoley’s studies at Metro State required her to get clinical hours at different colleges and high schools across Colorado, where she worked with a professional to get on-the-job training. During these clinical hours, she diagnosed the first of three broken necks she has seen throughout her career as an athletic trainer.

The college football player was hit hard in the first quarter of the game, she said, but didn’t tell anyone about his neck pain. Then, he got hit again in the fourth quarter and finally pulled himself out of the game.

“He basically played the entire game with a broken neck,” said Nickoley, who is now the head athletic trainer for the Colorado Storm, a statewide youth soccer association.

oley wouldn’t identify him by name or which college he played for — was very lucky, she added.

He wasn’t paralyzed and the spinal cord wasn’t damaged.

From bruises to broken bones, even the most experienced athletes are prone to injury. But there is some preventative advice out there.

First and foremost, it’s important to take care of your body, Nickoley said.

“The biggest thing I see with successful athletes is how they take care of their bodies,” she said. But “you don’t have to be a competitive athlete or have a background in sports to take care of your body.”

Nutrition and exercise are important for everyone’s health, Nickoley said. Whether it be taking a walk in your neighborhood or going to the local rec center for a swim, everyone should get their heart rate up for at least 30 minutes a day.

Active people have lower rates of obesity, heart disease, diabetes and even some emotional problems such as depression and anxiety, said Heidi Christensen, medical director of Primary Care Sports Medicine for Centura Health. And for younger people, playing sports can help with self-esteem and socialization.

“Injuries can happen, but being active and playing sports outweigh

the risks,” Christensen said. “As long as you don’t play or exercise beyond your personal capabilities, you can help safeguard against injuries.”

When injuries happen West Metro Fire Rescue’s EMTs and paramedics started a threeweek training session on Aug. 18, during which about 280 people worked with emergency room doctors from St. Anthony Hospital to help prepare for responding to injuries commonly seen during football season.

The training focused on new procedures in preparing injured players for the emergency room and/or potential surgeries, and familiarizing themselves with the latest equipment and gear football players use.

“We’re finding that as the equipment changes, so must our practice,” said Mike Binney, the fire department’s EMS training lieutenant. “In the metro area, we want to be prepared for whatever we have to show up to.”

Colorado photographer sees the big picture Fielder talks new book, the environment, the joy of solitude

BY TOM SKELLEY TSKELLEY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From his Summit County home near Silverthorne, 9,000 feet above sea level, John Fielder watches an approaching storm front, waiting to find if it will bring rain or snow.

“One the edge of bad weather is where I get my best shots,” Fielder says. “Right now I’m watching aspen leaves turning and blowing off of trees, that’s a very sensuous moment in time …. On Monday morning, if the storm brings snow, I’ll have leaves on the ground and snow on the peaks, that’s another one of those moments.”

The renowned photographer recently published “A Colorado Winter,” a book of frozen landscapes from around the state. The snow-covered scenes represent a departure from the vibrant foliage in much of Fielder’s work, and presented a challenge to prioritize shape over shade.

“You don’t have all of that massive

It might not always require a trip to the emergency room, Christensen said, it is always important to get a proper diagnosis from somebody who is professionally trained to do so that that treatment or rehab can start right away.

But “it’s not just about treating the injury to get the clear to return to the sport,” Christensen added. “It’s getting the proper tools to prevent a recurring injury.”

Too many people get right back into the sport as soon as the pain goes away, but this puts that person at a higher

color to work with, you have to work more with shapes and textures,” he said. But “if you can do it the right way, you can produce extraordinarily creative photography.”

Fielder spends much of the winter huddled in his snow-packed home, editing photos from the previous year. But when the impulse strikes, he gets up in the dark and hikes or skis a few miles into the wild to make images in the early morning light. Through the late morning and afternoon he warms up in one of dozens of huts in the 10th Mountain Division trail system, then re-emerges before sunset to make a few more images and ski downhill toward home.

“One reason I love Colorado is that we have four distinct seasons,” he said. “I tell people it’s like we have four years in each one … I consider myself to be 268 years old.”

Advocacy through art In 1993 the Sierra Club awarded Fielder its Ansel Adams Award for influencing policy through art, and his celebrity has boosted the profiles of nonprofit groups such as Conservation Colorado as well as legislation including the Great Outdoors Colorado initiative in 1992 and the

Responsible Growth initiative in 2000.

“It would be hypocritical of me to make a living off of nature and to not give back,” he said. “We are intelligent beings on a very special place, planet Earth. I’ve been so lucky to see and to feel just how special it really is, it’s my obligation to perpetuate what it contains for my grandkids.”

His biggest concerns outside Colorado’s borders are overpopulation and global warming — he thinks the term “climate change” is a cop-out — but he acknowledges the cliché that all politics are local and applies his time accordingly. His latest work is urging nonprofit groups to lobby lawmakers to put growth back on the legislative table.

“There is clear evidence that growth is compromising everything we came to Colorado for and stay here for,” Fielder said. “We can’t build a geographical fence around the place and tell people not to come, all we can do is create legislation to preserve the things we all love.”

Changed approach Advocacy pushed Fielder into the public eye, a potentially uncomfortable place for a

risk of reinjuring themselves, Christensen said.

People tend to sustain serious injuries because they pushed themselves above and beyond what they were conditioned for, Christensen said.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, just becoming more active or beginning to train for a new sport, “it’s always a good rule of thumb to increase the level of activity gradually,” Christensen said.

But because athletes typically love their sport, they will often push the limits, Nickoley said.

“They love what they’re doing.

They’ll do whatever they can to keep playing,” she said. “And the body can handle a lot. But especially when it comes to injuries, listen to your body.”

Experts say that injuries while playing sports can happen, but being active outweighs the risks.

wilderness photographer. Perhaps it’s one reason he’s come to cherish being alone.

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found I love my solitude,” he said. “When I go into the wilderness I try to take full advantage of what it offers, the peace and quiet, the smells, the sounds.”

Expeditions in years past required heavy equipment and several human assistants, but as digital technology advanced he pared his staff down. A typical outing now consists of Fielder and two rented llamas, Roberto and Gustavus, who carry his tent, lenses and the occasional six-pack of beer.

“Their English is pretty poor,” he said, and the silence lets him focus on the big picture.

“It allows me to appreciate how lucky we are. To be sentient beings with two eyes, two ears two arms and two legs, and who live on a planet, in a galaxy, in a solar system, in a universe, in a multiverse,” Fielder said. “We’re distracted from the underlying big picture in our everyday lives, but when you’re alone and you don’t have those sensory distractions, your mind becomes incredibly lucid.”

‘My Brilliant Divorce’ took winding route to reach stage in Denver One-woman show is treat for audiences at Avenue Theater

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Longtime Highlands Ranch resident Richard Pegg, who grew up and was trained in the UK, has been involved in 193 theatrical productions in Colorado: as director, set designer and three times in small parts as an actor, he said. When such a person travels, he of course attends theater productions. “A play that’s been on my bucket list for 13 years is now in production at the Avenue Theater!” he wrote to us recently. “My Brilliant Divorce” is running in Denver through Oct. 14.

While in London, he enjoyed “My Brilliant Divorce,” by Geraldine Aron, starring Dawn French — a one-woman play with “40 pages of dense script.”

He initially thought of it as a vehicle for skilled actress Paige Larson, who operated Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden with husband Rick Bernstein. They loved it, but thought the script needed some adjustments for an American audience.

IF YOU GO “My Brilliant Divorce” by Geraldine Aron plays through Oct. 15 at the Avenue Theater, 417 17th Ave., Denver. Performances: 7:30 p.m. Fridays, Saturdays; 4 p.m. Sundays. Tickets: $27.50.

Pegg contacted the publisher of the English version, Samuel French, who said it was not available through them. Nor was it available from Dramatists, the other main U.S. play publisher with rights for plays.

In 2007, an Americanized version came to Pegg, directly from the playwright, and Pegg renewed his option on it and started to rehearse with Larson.

The he got an email rescinding the rights because a New York producer had taken a five-year option on the play — an offer Geraldine couldn’t turn down.

Forward to late 2013, the rights were again available, but Rick and Paige had decided to sell Miners Alley and move to West Virginia. Other small theaters were reluctant to take on a one-woman show.

“I even looked at producing it myself at the Aurora Fox, where I had directed `Red Hot Patriot’” (about journalist Molly Ivins).

BASKETBALL FROM PAGE 11

Nuggets coach Michael Malone gave an early glimpse of his starting lineup Monday: Millsap at power forward, Jokic at center, Gary Harris as the two-guard and Wilson Chandler at small forward.

The only position undecided going into camp is point guard, where it’s a race between Emmanuel Mudiay, the seventh-overall pick in 2015; Murray, the No. 7 pick in 2016; and veteran Jameer Nelson.

“We have some very talented young guards in Jamal and Emmanuel and a heady veteran in Jameer,” Malone said. “The competition is healthy and I look forward to it playing out.”

Especially with Murray at full strength following offseason surgery. He said his injury was so bothersome at times last season that it “hurt to get out of bed.”

“It comes down to how much you

It is still showing at spots across the nation with local actress Rhonda Brown, Pegg said.

“As happens with so many shows/ scripts, theaters become unavailable, scheduling conflicts arise, stars become detached, etc., etc.

An endless cycle of triumphs and failures …”

“In late 2016, I had the Avenue as the venue, with an award-winning actress, Emma Messenger very keen to play the role … The Avenue’s landlords (a nonprofit board) threw a spanner into the works! This caused then-Executive Director

want to play, how much you want to win,” said Murray, who was an AllRookie second-team member after draining 115 three-pointers.

Murray doesn’t care if he plays point guard or slides over to shooting guard. He just wants to be on the court.

“I’ve got a game that can get along with everybody and score when I need to,” he said.

For Malone, success this season boils down to one thing — defense.

The Nuggets were one of the top scoring teams in the league (111.7 points per game), but near the bottom in points allowed (111.2).

“If our players come in and say we want to be a playoff team, we’re going to have to live it every day,” Malone said. “Our everyday actions will dictate how serious we are about that goal. I expect us to get better every single day and improve significantly from last season. If that happens to earn a playoff berth, amen. I’m all for it.

I’m not going to sit here and say it’s a playoff-or-bust season.”

John Ashton to throw in the towel too, so our planned production with Emma evaporated as well. “ He renegotiated with present Executive Director Dave Shirley, but by then, Messenger was not available — and is booked for the next year …

Pegg focused on Dave’s wife, Jane Shirley, also a brilliant actress, best known for improv comedy.

She is indeed “brilliant” in bringing the complicated tale of an American trying to divorce a Brit, impersonating a number of characters she deals with, and not missing a beat. The show is enhanced by some well-done projection work, a simple set and well-timed sound effects. It offers an entertaining diversion for the audience, who found much to laugh about when we attended.
