Seeking more space for Fido City council debates $500,000 solution to dog-park problem BY CASEY VAN DIVIER SPECIAL TO LIFE ON CAPITOL HILL
For years, Taylor Nelson would load dogs Ozzie and Titan into his car, start the engine and embark on his half-hour daily commute. Except he wasn’t commuting to work — he was going to the dog park. “It was 25 minutes’ drive each way, and that was the closest one,” said Nelson, who formerly lived in Washington Park. “It was a lot. The things we do for our kids.” For those in Washington Park and many others, long dog park
commutes are just part of the daily routine. But in response to requests from many residents for additional dog parks, Denver officials are considering using more than $500,000 of the 2019 budget to build a new dog park somewhere in south Denver. The Denver area currently has 12 dog parks, which are designated spaces where owners can take their dogs off-leash. Anywhere else in the city, pet owners are required by law to keep their dogs on a leash. In comparison, Las Vegas, a city with about 60,000 fewer residents than Denver’s 693,060, boasts 18 off-leash sites, according to website BringFido. SEE SPACE, P6
GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK The Denver City Council must vote on the 2019 budget on or before its first November meeting. The $2.45 billion proposed budget includes more than $500,000 to build a new dog park in south Denver. The city council wants to hear on the subject from all residents. “We’re actively looking for feedback on everything in the proposed budget,” council President Jolon Clark said. “Now’s the time to reach out to your councilperson and tell them what you think.” To provide feedback, send an email to your district’s representative or to a council member at large. Council member contact information is available at www. denvergov.org.
One prosecuted the Aurora theater shooter. The other worked as an assistant to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. One’s the elected district attorney in a south metro district of more than 1 million people. The other worked in President Barack Obama’s Justice Department. And one says his opponent wants Washington to dictate to Colorado, while the other says his rival’s background readies him for only 10 percent of the state attorney general’s job. Republican George Brauchler, district attorney for the 18th Judicial District, and Democrat Phil Weiser, a professor and former dean at the University of Colorado Law School, stand opposite each other not only on political values, but in the approaches they would bring to the Colorado Attorney General’s Office. And amid the starkly polarized governor’s race between Republican state Treasurer Walker Stapleton and Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Polis, one veteran political analyst says the outcome of the contest for attorney general won’t necessarily be in line with the gubernatorial race. SEE AG RACE, P11

Ghosts of Cheesman Park Denver historian details spookier side of the city’s past BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
On a cool night in Cheesman Park it can be easy to creep yourself out: Trees lining the sidewalk on the west side shroud the grassy field in the center in darkness. A growing silence weighs down the air. But Denver historian and author Phil Goodstein points out the reason the hairs on the back of your neck are rising could be because Cheesman Park was actually Denver’s first graveyard. “I have personally experienced this numerous times — you’ll be strolling and bicycling around and suddenly there is an icy cold pocket where the temperature seems to drop 10, 15 degrees,” Goodstein said. A Denver native who attended East High School, Goodstein, 65, is a walking tour guide of his beloved city — of all its historical elements, but also of its cemeteries and ghosts. Most of the 20 books he’s written focus on Denver’s history, so he knows it well, including its dark and quirky secrets. He has become an expert on what he calls the “seamy” side of Denver’s past. He has written on ghosts in

Goodstein a Capitol Hill resident, who holds a doctorate in history and has written in the past for the Washington Park Profile, began offering tours through the Free University of Denver in 1986. While his winter class on the history of Denver was popular, the summer months were quieter, Goodstein said. He decided to take the class outdoors by offering walking tours in the summer. The idea of ghost tours for the fall season came up in the
late 1980s. So, in September and October, he leads cemetery tours and ghost walks on Saturdays and Sundays. Tours range from an hour to two hours and cost $20-$25. The Cheesman Park tour has been one of the most popular. Working as an author and giving the tours are what Goodstein does for a living now. A grisly past The history behind Cheesman Park as the city’s first graveyard is a
grisly one. The two-hour tour includes information on some of the houses near Cheesman Park that also have a ghostly history. One house inspired a 1980 horror movie called ‘The Changeling,” about a wealthy family who had a sick son. The couple adopts another child to be the public face of their son, while their biological child is kept locked in a secret closet in the house. Playwright Russell Hunter supposedly discovered the secret closet after hearing the sound of a bouncing ball throughout his house, Goodstein said. The house was later demolished and became the Summer House, a condo building on East 13th Avenue and North Williams Street. The land that the Denver Botanic Gardens is built on, which sits on the western border of Cheesman park, as well as parts of surrounding neighborhoods were all part of the former Mount Prospect Cemetery. When Denver was established by Gen. William Larimer in 1858, he decided that to be a top-rate city it needed a beautiful graveyard. But death rates in early Denver were high because of disease and the city’s population increased quickly, Goodstein said. And because the city didn’t have money for landscaping, maintenance of Mount Prospect graveyard was not kept up. SEE GHOSTS, P5

Departing legislator takes up new cause for neighborhoods Aguilar will direct city program that aims to soften impact of development BY DONNA BRYSON DENVERITE.COM
The newest member of Denver’s leadership team chuckles at suggestions she’s the anti-gentrification czar or a miracle worker. What she aspires to be, Irene Aguilar told Denverite on Oct. 2, is “the person who makes sure we keep a lot of what makes Denver Denver.” Aguilar, a state senator from Denver who is barred from seeking reelection by term limits, spoke shortly after the city announced that the Denver Office of Economic Development (OED) had hired her as director of the Neighborhood Equity and Stabilization Team, or NEST. The task force that Mayor Michael B. Hancock sketched out in his 2018 State of the City speech and in his 2019 budget includes staff from OED, Denver Human Services, Denver Human Rights and Community Partnerships, Environmental Health and Community Planning and Development. Aguilar also will reach out to nonprofits like Mile High United Way. The idea is to find new strategies as well as better coordinate existing programs like emergency rental help, property tax exemptions and homeowner counseling to ensure that when older neighborhoods are transformed by development, benefits are felt by both newcomers and established residents — who often are impoverished, minorities and long-neglected. “I see that as the goal, to try to find where the win-win can be,” Aguilar said. “It’s going to take buy-in and resources.” “I absolutely love this city and in many ways am glad for its economic prosperity,” she said. “But I am also concerned about it losing its culture and color.”
She said her priorities would include Globeville and ElyriaSwansea. The Colorado Department of Transportation’s I-70 expansion and renovation project has disrupted Globeville and Elyria-Swansea and displaced some residents, even as new commuter rail lines and plans for redevelopment of the nearby National Western complex have led to concerns that gentrification is imminent. Aguilar said she was familiar with that part of the city and its people from her work at Clínica Tepeyac. She’s also familiar with Denver’s sometimes heated conversation about gentrification, saying she knows many feel the city’s growth has been driven by developers without enough attention being paid to ordinary people. “I don’t know that that’s true or not,” she said. “I certainly hope to find out.” Aguilar is a Chicago native who moved to Denver in 1985 for an internal medicine residency after studying at Washington University in St. Louis and receiving her medical degree from the University of Chicago-Pritzker School of Medicine. She’s worked for Denver Health and now serves on its board of directors. As senator for southwest Denver’s District 32 since 2010, Aguilar was known for working on health care issues and in support of people with disabilities and immigrants. She acknowledged Oct. 2 that her new job takes her into unfamiliar territory. She said she would bring a new, “analytical” perspective that might prove useful. “I think there are lots of people to listen to and learn from in this process,” she said of her approach to leading NEST. “People who feel they haven’t been listened to should feel confident trying to reach out to me. I’m a big believer that you never know where you’re going to get your best ideas.” She backed that up by offering her email address: irene.aguilar@denvergov.org.

remaining grave sites did not end well for the city, which said any graves still remaining after its deadline to remove them would stay there. Today, Goodstein said, it is estimated that about 2,000 graves are still in the ground throughout the Cheesman Park area. Goodstein leads the tours with a flash of humor, warning people to watch out for sections of the park that may still contain a grave or to keep an eye out for strange red rubber balls near the Summer House. Before Cheesman Park and the Denver Botanic Gardens came to be, the graveyard fueled a love of the spooky. “For years, Denver was this wild, prank-filled Halloween town,” he said. “If you needed some funerary art, coffin handles, even bones, you knew where you could find them for Halloween.”

As time went by, the graveyard continued to be an eyesore. Grave robbers would frequently dig up graves. By 1870, the graveyard was a mess, Goodstein said. “Since miners came out here to dig gold out of the ground, where’s a better place to begin than going and digging the gold out of the cemetery?” Goodstein said. “And they usually leave the bones where they found them.” The city eventually petitioned Congress to change the land use to a public park. City officials had to speak to Congress because it was found that the land sale in Denver was never official, meaning it was owned by the federal government. But even that took time. When the city finally decided to start converting the land in 1893, removing the bodies became a gruesome problem. At that time, it was estimated 10,000 to 20,000 people were buried there. “By 1893, there’s at least 5,000 graves according to the city, probably at least 10,000 that are still in place,” Goodstein said. “To get rid of the bodies the city hired the low bidder for the job.” Hiring an undertaker to remove the

“As I was visiting other cities, I would notice that compared to them, we really don’t have an adequate number of dog parks,” said Jolon Clark, Denver’s city council president. “It felt like we were behind the times.” Clark, a fellow dog owner, first heard about Denver’s dog park problem when asked about it during his campaign in 2015. “My constituents rose the flag, and I went to work advocating for them,” he said. Clark started a dog park group to talk about residents’ requests and surveyed his constituents via email, as well. Denver’s Department of Public Health and Environment estimates that 89,144 Denver households have dogs and that 143,000 dogs live in the city. That number rivals the child population of Denver—there are about 147,000 people under the age of 18 in Denver, according to the World Population Review. With so many dogs in the area, Clark hopes adding a dog park will address issues of overcrowding at current parks. “We used to go to Railyard Dog Park, which was very, very crowded on weekends,” Nelson said. The park at 19th and Little Raven streets, which is approximately .8 acres in size, is smaller than most others in the city. Berkeley Dog Park at Sheridan Boulevard and West 46th Avenue, for instance, covers 1.86 acres. According to Denver’s Dog Park Master Plan, written in 2010, new dog parks must be a “minimum size of one acre, with preference given to two or three acres.” Because there is little space available in the city, this standard is often difficult to meet, Clark said. As a result, Denver Parks and Recreation has decided to update the plan. “We’re incorporating what we’ve learned in the past few years,” said Mark Tabor, the department’s principal park planner. “Some of the standards of size, location and proximity are going to be revisited.” But even smaller dog parks, such as Railyard, have their advantage, Clark said. He believes that no mat-

This often results in tension between dog owners and other park visitors, he said. Therefore, he said, “creating a safe place for dogs where we don’t have that conflict between users is critical for all our residents.” Likewise, Tabor stressed that all residents, not just dog owners, should have a voice in the decision to build a new dog park. “When you develop a dog park, that land can’t be used for anything else,” he said. “You have to find a park that has enough open space so you aren’t taking away an opportunity from others who don’t have a dog.” Dog owners advocating for the new park say dog parks are an integral part of their pets’ physical and social health. “The dogs really do enjoy being in new places and meeting new dogs, so the more places we can go, the better,” said Denver dog owner Brett Forsberg. Nelson—who has recently moved to a new neighborhood, where the nearest dog park is just up the street—agreed with Forsberg. The parks don’t only make the dogs happy, he said. The owners love them, too. “I can’t imagine my life without them,” he said.

his lively essay needs an image to go along with it. Please look up Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s painting “The Fall of the Rebel Angels,” and have it handy when you read the following paragraph about an average day at Denver International Airport on Concourses A, B, and C. Myopia is on the upswing: Text call shove bump. Text call shove bump. Flash dash fling scatter smash. Flash dash fling scatter smash. Text text text text text. Repeat. It was just another day, but it had holiday numbers. Jennifer said, “We need a bigger airport.” None of what an average traveler looks like, does, or goes through is ever covered in an airline commercial.
It is Black Friday in flip-flops. Everyone is speeding into a new sunrise, head down, texting or calling, and dressed like it’s the Slobsville bus QUIET DESPERATION depot. Not sure when it started to happen. Preface: I am not Yves St. Laurent or Emily Post. I have no interest in fashion and red carpets and who is wearing whom. However, I don’t go to airports looking Craig Marshall like Moondoggie. Smith Cole Porter referred to a “glimpse of stocking as something shocking.”
He didn’t live long enough to see that anything really goes. A few days ago I read an article about the new, relaxed dress code at public schools in Alameda, California. I am, thankfully, not an Alameda public-school teacher. Midriff-baring shirts are acceptable. So are tank tops with spaghetti straps, micro-miniskirts and short shorts. I can’t see any good coming from this, except the attendance rate overall will be higher than ever. One 14-year-old boy (who is probably thanking his lucky stars) said, “If someone is wearing a short shirt and you can see her stomach, it’s not her fault that she’s distracting other people.” Back to DIA: It’s barefoot in the
park at security. Flip-flops come off and all ages can be seen walking on flooring that is hopping mad with particulates. I saw feet and other things that some people probably pay to see. I dodged and Jennifer dodged. People came at us (see Bruegel’s painting) from every direction, head down, intent and oblivious. You might think I’m kidding here, but the place is obnoxious.

T LETTER TO THE EDITOR Vote no on 112 As you look at the two candidates for governor of Colorado, they stand in stark contrast to one another. They have vastly different ideas about how to change the healthcare system, about how best to keep our economy growing and about how best to govern in general. I suspect the only thing that they agree on is that Proposition 112 is a bad idea. Yes, both Rep. Polis and Secretary Stapleton have said Proposition 112 would essentially kick the oil and gas industry out of the state, which would have dire consequences for us all. The oil and gas industry is responsible for thousands of jobs, billions of dollars of economic activity, and hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes. And they’re not alone. Our own Mayor, Michael
DENVER Since 1926
Hancock, has come out against Proposition 112. So has conservative Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers. This is a measure that has bipartisan opposition, which, in this day and age, is remarkable. If prominent leaders of both parties can agree on something, I think it behooves us to listen to them. I’m voting no on Proposition 112. The reasoning for arbitrarily increasing setbacks to 2,500 feet hasn’t been sound, and the health studies they’re using have been deemed “misleading” by the state’s top health regulators. It looks like I’m in good company with this opposition, and no matter if you’re a Democrat or Republican, you will be, too. Please vote no. Katelyn Roberts Denver

Self-employed individuals may be eligible for an SEP (Simplified Employee Pension). These limits can be substantially higher than an IRA based on business or consulting income. Most plans allow for deductible contributions similar to 401(k) limits — which for 2018 are $18,500 with an age 50-and-older catch-up provision of another $6,000. Higher income earners may also be eligible for a solo 401k or profit-sharing contribution up to 25 percent of your business profit up to $55,000 plus catch-up, depending on your business structure. Consider maximizing your Health Savings Accounts for the year if they have not already been funded. You may be eligible if you had a high-deductible health insurance plan starting no later than Dec. 1. An individual can contribute a tax-deductible amount of $3,450 with a $1,000 catch-up provision for anyone over age 55 by December 31st. Households with one spouse on family coverage can contribute $6,850 plus the catch-up for those over age 55. The penalty for not having health insurance does not expire until 2019. Therefore, those who forgo health insurance for 2018 could still face a penalty. You can apply during open enrollment next month to avoid this penalty. Consider funding college savings plans, which are eligible for the state income tax deduction for children or grandchildren through www.collegeinvest.org. This will save you the 4.63 percent Colorado income tax on your contribution. If you pay quarterly estimated tax payments, be aware of the new SALT (state and local tax) deduction limit. It used to be that if you paid your fourth-quarter state taxes before year-end, then you would be able to deduct it on your Schedule A the following April. This is now limited to just $10,000 for the entire SALT category, including state income taxes and property taxes. To help reduce unwanted taxable investment income, consider meeting with your financial adviser for

tax loss harvesting and to structure your investments to be tax-efficient. The long-term capital gain and the qualified dividend tax was indexed up slightly but in essence remained the same as 2017. Therefore, if you would have been in a 15 percent tax bracket in 2018 (even though there is not a 15 percent bracket this year) then your long-term capital gains and qualified dividend tax is capped at zero, or 15 percent for higher brackets. It is important to monitor your tax withholding on your paychecks this year. New withholding tables for employers appear to be shy of the actual tax liability. If you noticed a larger take-home pay starting in February, check with your tax accountant to confirm if you need to increase your withholding for the remainder of the year. One last major change: The Child Care Credit actually improved for people in higher tax brackets. Parents can now take a credit up to $2,000 if their joint income is under $400,000 or a single parent with income under $200,000. These tax law changes are important to review as the goal is to keep more of your hard-earned dollars working for you. Take advantage of every deduction you are eligible for and make estimated tax payments on time. Then you won’t have to pay any more than necessary.

AG RACE FROM PAGE 1
“The preference for governor will not dictate the preference for attorney general,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party. He added, “I think Colorado voters are very independent-minded.” But another Colorado political analyst, Eric Sondermann, chalked the race up as a proxy fight that hinges on how Republicans and Democrats will fare in general this midterm season. “I think this is going to be less a battle between Brauchler and Weiser,” Sondermann said, “than it will be between the generic Republican and generic Democrat.” High stakes The attorney general is Colorado’s top legal official, known as the “people’s lawyer” who combats consumer scams, defends Colorado’s laws and protects its land, water and air, to name a few duties. And despite the office’s lack of a role in the lawmaking process, Wadhams says the attorney general is integral in affecting public policy in Colorado. He pointed to current Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, a Republican who has moved to support or oppose laws or rulings even when the governor disagrees with her decision. “In the case of Cynthia Coffman, she actually took on the Obama administration on the Clean Power Plan,” said Wadhams, who argued the federal rule that sought to put limits on power plants would have driven up consumers’ energy costs. He added, “I think Coffman demonstrated the independence of the attorney general and also the impact.” In an era where President Donald Trump draws the ire of many officials in various states, that ability to act could be a key factor in Colorado’s direction. Lawsuits against the president may factor into the race between Brauchler and Weiser, but the race is also “about how you define the job,” Sondermann said. “Brauchler is defining it as you’d expect as a courtroom warrior,” Sondermann said. “Weiser is trying to define the job as more of an advocacy role and standing up to the president.” Fork in the road Brauchler, a Parker resident, has aimed to paint Weiser, of Denver, as a partisan who aims to “link hands” with other activist attorneys general, he said, arguing Weiser’s approach to

regulation would allow Washington to “dictate our existence.” Colorado “has never been just about one thing politically,” Brauchler said. “This election seems like we’re poised to become one thing, and that is extremely progressive. And I don’t think Colorado has seen that — not in my lifetime.” On the other hand, Weiser frames his campaign as a fight for people’s basic rights and business accountability. “You have the right to be free for discrimination,” Weiser said, and “to be protected as a consumer from fraudulent and deceptive behavior. Those rights are protected by our attorney general.” The attorney general “fights for the people of Colorado, and that’s the type of attorney general I’ll be,” Weiser added. But perhaps the largest contrast lies in the candidates’ backgrounds — Brauchler accused Weiser of never having practiced Colorado law, drawing experience from being a professor and dean at the University of Colorado School of Law rather than courtroom experience. “Nobody picks a team captain from someone who’s never played the sport,” Brauchler said. He noted his near quarter-century of experience, including as a plaintiffs’ attorney and military attorney in addition to public prosecutor roles. Weiser’s punch-back is that the attorney general’s office is about far more than courtroom experience, he said. “His background prepares him very well for 10 percent of the job,” Weiser said of Brauchler, claiming less than 10 percent of the position relates to criminal prosecution. “My background prepares me for the other 90 percent.” The office governs a range of issues including consumer-protection cases, regulatory matters and legal advising, all of which “I have done,” Weiser said.
issues, like Colorado’s marijuana law and, to some extent, federal encroachment on state matters. Weiser and Brauchler both say they would defend Colorado’s marijuanalegalization law against potential federal challenges. “I was not a supporter of Amendment 64, but you know who was? Fiftyfive percent of Colorado voters,” said Brauchler, adding that he was able to embrace it while trying to protect against negative effects of the illegal pot market. That acceptance is an example of his commitment to the rule of law, Brauchler said, charging that Weiser is more partial to ideology and wants to be akin to an “adjunct legislator.” Weiser maintains that his vision of the office is the role of “protecting the people of Colorado” by bringing cases against irresponsible companies, contesting the federal government when appropriate and supporting regulations. Weiser is for a ban on bump stocks — devices that alter the firing ability of semi-automatic firearms — and greater restrictions on access to military-grade weapons, his website says. On other specifics, Weiser said defending equal rights, women’s access to birth control and the choice to have an abortion, and addressing climate change are among his priorities. The candidates differ on a 2017 Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission case, in which that state office was sued for a refusing to adopt an environmental rule, drawing Coffman to back the office’s position, Braucher said. Weiser opposed Coffman’s move, a stance Brauchler said speaks to his ideology. Weiser questioned those who wouldn’t support certain environmental rules, asking, “If you’re protecting Colorado, why would you be against (methane regulation)?” Weiser also said the move to end the DACA program — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, which gives protected status to people brought to the

U.S. illegally as children — is against the law in his view. He’d fight against separating families at the U.S.-Mexico border, he added, a recent Trump administration practice that was later halted. “My motivation is not a political motivation; it’s a human motivation,” Weiser said, arguing it’s in step with the rule of law to push against federal action the attorney general believes is illegal, whether the issue is of water or immigrants’ rights. Brauchler said he hopes Congress comes up with a solution so that immigrants who were brought here illegally as children can stay, but on the issue of sanctuary cities, he said Congress and the Supreme Court have made clear that states have no role in immigration policy. It’s “anathema to the rule of law” to allow cities to oppose federal immigration policy, Brauchler said. What are the odds? Who can pull off the win is an open question between a prosecutor who has cultivated a tough-on-crime image, and a professor with less name recognition who has the opportunity to ride a wave of anti-Trump sentiment among Democrats. Wadhams, the Republican strategist, said Weiser’s resume doesn’t come close to Brauchler’s. “What propelled Brauchler to popularity in the GOP was his performance on high-profile cases — the Aurora theater shooting and others,” Wadhams said. Wadhams bets on Brauchler to win because “I think George will be closer to where most Coloradans are on (the) issues,” he said. Sondermann took a different view. “I’d say advantage Weiser, and that has very little to do with Phil Weiser,” Sondermann said, arguing a win would have more to do with Democrats’ potential to have a strong electoral year in general. Wadhams has mentioned voters in Colorado often “split” their ballot, voting for one party for governor but another for attorney general. Sondermann agreed but said that practice of “splitting” shrinks as the country gets more polarized. “It’s not like the Colorado of 20 or 30 years ago,” where more of the electorate did that, Sondermann added. Amid a political climate in which Sondermann has said 2018 could be a “deep-blue year” — and the polarized governor’s race — Wadhams argued the attorney-general contest will be its own. “It’s a race Colorado voters look on as a very distinct one,” Wadhams said.
