area where people can make an appointment to get school wardrobes for their kids.

Each child receives five tops, four bottoms, a coat, a pair of shoes, as well as five pairs of underwear and socks, all for free. The socks and underwear are guaranteed to be new, Jones Jadwin said. The store offers clothes to people from 3 to 21 years old, as long as students are enrolled in a school or GED program.

After a panel discussion of the political, an audience member raised the personal.

Blake Angelo had just described his proposal on the Denver ballot to increase the sales tax by .08 percent to raise an estimated $11.2 million in the first year and some $100 million over a decade to feed young people and educate them about nutrition.

Marquel Houghton told Angelo: “I was one of those kids that needed that breakfast or that lunch. So I appreciate what you’re doing.”

Angelo’s was one of six ballot questions explored during the event organized by the Orbis Institute, a nonprofit usually focused on training young leaders to think globally. Orbis House in City Park was turned over to local action for the Oct. 23 panel.

Several of the 30 or so attendees said they welcomed help navigating a crowded ballot. Kaela Martins, who advises businesses on sustainable practices, said it was a chance to hear about proposals she had not yet had a chance to read up on.

“The healthy food one was one I was excited to hear about,” she said.

In addition to choosing among candidates for federal and state offices, voters were considering a bevy of proposed changes to the state constitution and regulations and nine questions in Denver.

Inside a storefront in a corner of a shopping center off Colorado Boulevard, a group of teenage girls sorts through piles of clothes and hangers. They chatter as they work, pointing out national brand names like Vineyard Vines as they go through the donated clothes.

Student Marygrace Adam, who with her peers from St. Mary’s Academy is volunteering this day at Clothes to Kids of Denver, is glad to be helping.

“These clothes are going to people who need it,” she said.

The nonprofit receives donations every day, said Katie Jones Jadwin, executive director of the organization that operates at 2890 S. Colorado Blvd. The sorting room is lined with folded clothes. Bags of recently donated items fill bins by the front door. Clothes to Kids operates a store in the same shopping

Clearing the smoke Denver’s second social cannabis space set to open this fall on South Broadway

WHAT IS INITIATIVE 300?

The social consumption initiative was passed

by Denver voters in 2016. The law allows for people to consume marijuana in a private setting as long as the business has the appropriate license and complies with several regulations. People cannot smoke indoors for example and the consumption of marijuana cannot be visible to the public.

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After two years of looking at about 50 locations for their business and talking to 17 neighborhood organizations, mother-and-son duo Megan Lumpkins and Taylor Rosean are opening Denver’s second legal cannabis consumption business: The pair estimates Vape and Play at 1753 S. Broadway will open by the end of the year.

The neighborhood organizations “in one little way or another helped us fine-tune the customer-, neighborhood safety-approach business model that we have,” Lumpkins said.

Vape and Play will have a salon-style area where people can consume their own cannabis via a patent-pending vaporizer that was designed by the company, Rosean said. City rules behind the consumption license state that the business cannot sell cannabis, so all customers must bring in their own from a dispensary.

From there, Vape and Play will have a lounge area for customers where they can watch TV, sit with friends or play board games. The business also plans to bring in entertainment options such as comedians, fitness classes, seminars and more.

The pair are hoping to have a soft opening in November for people within the cannabis industry. The soft opening will allow Lumpkins and Rosean to make sure things run smoothly, Rosean said. Vape and Play will then fully open by the end of the year.

Educating the community Rosean said he hopes to reach all corners of the diverse cannabis community. He is also hoping to show neighbors that the stereotype of stoners is not what this business is about.

“The cannabis community isn’t a bunch of bums and schmucks,” Rosean said. “I think about cultured and open adults experiencing social events together.”

The idea behind Vape and Play started with the passing of Initiative 300 in Denver in 2016. The initiative allowed for cannabis to be consumed within a licensed business location in the city of Denver as long as it complied with several rules, such as the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act which prohibits indoor smoking.

After the initiative passed, Rosean became more involved in the legislative process, learning how to apply for a license and how the businesses would work. A large part of getting approval for Vape and Play was educating the community on what a social consumption license meant. Many of the people they spoke with did not know what the license was, or that neighboring residents had so much say in the business, Rosean said.

Businesses that apply for social consumption licenses also have to make sure the location is not nearby to schools, recreation centers or addiction treatment centers.

For more information on social consumption, visit the city of Denver’s website at https:// bit.ly/2kONFRK.

Getting a license From left, owners Taylor Rosean, Megan Lumpkins and James Veigel received the second license in the city of Denver to run a social cannabis consumption business.

They are hoping to open Vape and Play on South Broadway by the end of the year.

COURTESY OF VAPE AND PLAY

“Often, (neighbors) are unaware of their very own power in this whole play of business,” he said.

Amy Razzaque, co-president of the Overland Park Neighborhood Association, said Lumpkins and Rosean have been attending monthly meetings as well as neighborhood events to build trust with the community. She added that both were receptive to residents’ concerns such as smell, crowds and people driving after consuming marijuana.

Having owners that were open and receptive was especially important because social consumption businesses are “uncharted territory,” she said.

“They’ve been pretty transparent throughout,” Razzaque said. “It just allows neighbors to have one-on-one time to chat and also develop some trust.”

The neighborhood will continue working with Vape and Play once the business opens, Razzaque said.

The search for space Because so little was known about the license, it was a challenge to find a space that complied with the rules, as well as a spot that would be welcomed by the community.

Lumpkins said she created a mapping system that would show if a location up for sale or rent was compliant, meaning it was not located near schools, child-care businesses, alcohol or drug treatment facilities or cityowned recreation centers and pools.

Once they determined a spot was good to go, Lumpkins would start making inquiries. The pair also wanted to find a spot that was accessible for patrons.

South Broadway is a welcoming area for cannabis businesses, Lumpkins said. This particular stretch of the street has become known as the “Green Mile,” with more than 15 dispensaries.

Finding funding for Vape and Play

was also a challenge. Rosean said the pair attempted to crowdfund the business through Indiegogo, and tried to get outside investors through MJ Biz Con, a convention specifically for cannabis business. Neither was successful. The pair decided to bootstrap about $500,000 from family and friends to get the business running.

“It’s tough out there,” Lumpkins said. “This is a first. Nobody knows what this looks like.”

New industry As an entrepreneur and former dispensary employee, Rosean said the consumption business is the most approachable model for people just getting started in the industry. Many cities have caps on how many grow and dispensary licenses they allow.

Dispensary license fees for the city of Denver are also pricey. A recreation license in Denver costs $2,500 for a new retail license plus a $5,000 application fee. The costs can increase depending on cultivation licensing and if a store is also adding a medical license. Renewal fees for retail stores are $5,000 annually. Medical licenses cost $5,000 for the application and license and $3,000 to renew.

For social consumptions business on the other hand, it costs $2,000 for the application and license fee. There is also not as much startup cost behind the business since the business does not need the space and equipment to grow and sell marijuana.

Moving forward, Lumpkins said she hopes to be an example for other businesses looking to enter the social consumption market. Navigating a new market has not been easy. But after two years of work, they are ready to open up shop.

“We’re, first of all, excited to be open. That really cannot be understated,” Rosean said. “To be here at all is just surreal.”

Board gives green light to flexibility for two schools

BY MELANIE ASMAR CHALKBEAT.ORG

Two more Denver schools have won more flexibility in how they spend their money and time. The schools will create a new “innovation zone,” bringing the district’s number of quasi-autonomous zones to three.

The Denver school board on Oct. 18 unanimously approved the schools’ application to operate more independently from district rules, starting in January.

The new zone will include Grant Beacon Middle School in south Denver and Kepner Beacon Middle School in southwest Denver. The two schools are high-performing by the district’s standards and follow a model that allows students to learn at their own pace.

With just two schools, the zone will be the district’s smallest, though Beacon leaders have signaled their intent to compete to open a third school in the

growing Stapleton neighborhood, where the district has said it will need more capacity. The district’s other two innovation zones have four and five schools each.

Schools in zones are still district schools, but they can opt out of paying for certain district services and instead spend that money on things that meet their specific needs, such as additional teachers or aides. Zones can also form nonprofit organizations with their own boards of directors that provide academic and operational oversight, and help raise extra dollars to support the schools.

The new zone, called the Beacon Schools Network Innovation Zone, will have a five-member board of directors that will include one current parent, two former parents, and two community members whose professional work is related to education.

The zone will also have a teacher council and a parent council that will

provide feedback to its board but whose members won’t be able to vote on decisions.

Some Denver school board members questioned the makeup of the zone’s board.

“I’m wondering about what kinds of steps you’re going to take to ensure there is a greater representation of people who live and reside in southwest Denver,” where Kepner Beacon is located, asked school board member Angela Cobián, who represents the region. She also asked about a greater representation of current parents on the board.

Alex Magaña, who serves as executive principal over the Beacon schools and will lead the new zone, said he expects the board to expand to seven members within a year. He also said the parent council will play a key role even if its members can’t vote.

“The parent council is a strong influence,” he said. “If the parent council

is not happy, that’s going to be impacting both of the schools. I don’t want to undersell that.”

Other Denver school board members questioned the zone’s finances and how dependent it would be on fundraising. A district summary of the zone’s application notes that the zone’s budget relies on $1.68 million in foundation revenue over the next 5 1/2 years.

Magaña said the zone would eventually seek to expand to four schools, which would make it more financially stable. As for philanthropic dollars, he said the zone would work to ensure any loss of revenue doesn’t hurt the schools’ unique programs or enrichment.

“I can’t emphasize enough that it won’t impact the schools,” he said.

Ultimately, Denver school board members said they have confidence in the Beacon model and look forward to seeing what its leaders do with their increased autonomy.

NONPROFIT FROM PAGE 1

Serving those in need Parents are referred to Clothes to Kids by aid organizations, schools or nonprofits. Children in foster care or children who qualify for free and reduced lunch also qualify for clothes at the nonprofit. Families can get clothes for their children once every six months, Jones Jadwin said.

The nonprofit also offers what Jones Jadwin calls extras — books, games, cleats and play clothes.

While socks and underwear will always be popular items, shoes and coats can be the difference between getting to school or not, Jones Jadwin said.

“If they have any type of walking or bus trip, where they have to wait at the bus stop, we found that coats really lower truancy rates,” she said.

Last year, the nonprofit handed out 9,454 wardrobes. In September, it gave out its 50,000th wardrobe and in July its 1 millionth piece of clothing.

Clothes to Kids is hoping to give out close to 10,000 wardrobes this year, Jones Jadwin said.

Although the nonprofit allows for people to come in for clothes twice per year, about 80 percent of the families only visit during back-to-school season. During that time, the nonprofit has 100 appointments a day.

Clothes to Kids also helps families experiencing a crisis.

Maria Trujillo was shopping at the store for the first time in early October. She had heard about the program though the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) food program and St. Joseph Catholic Parish in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Trujillo had recently been diagnosed with cancer, making it all but impossible for her to work, she said. In addition to her two children, she also cares for her sister’s kids. Being able to find something to help them out was a weight off her chest, she said.

“I don’t want the kids at school bullying them or making fun of them,” Trujillo said. “It’s a tough situation. I

PHOTOS BY KAILYN LAMB didn’t expect to have cancer, but I do.”

Saying yes to everyone In 2008, Clothes to Kids started in the shop where the sorting area is now housed. The crammed shop had room for one dressing room. At first, the organization only served the city of Denver. But as word spread about Clothes to Kids, people began coming in from all over the state, Jones Jadwin said. Now, the store serves Denver, Boulder, Broomfield, Douglas, Jefferson, Gilpin, Clear Creek, Adams, Arapahoe and Elbert counties.

“A lot of people are willing to make the drive,” Jones Jadwin said. “We really decided to expand so we could say yes to everybody.”

The shop has also expanded in size.

Clothes to Kids moved to its current location in 2010. The larger space was larger included a room in the back for sorting donated clothes. In 2014, the nonprofit expanded again by knocking out the back walls and using the whole space for a store. At that time, it also began renting out the original shop

space as a sorting area.

Since Clothes to Kids serves some children in foster care, Jones Jadwin said it was important to separate the donation space from the rest of the store. This way, clothing donated in trash bags is kept in the sorting area and away from the shopping side.

“It was kind of triggering for our youth in foster care. If they’ve been removed from home, often their belongings are all thrown in a black garbage bag,” Jones Jadwin said. “When they

come here I don’t want them to see a black trash bag during a visit. I want them to see pretty clothes arranged how they like.”

While her children looked at shoes, Trujillo sorted through a rack of clothes in the back of the store. She said she was grateful to Clothes to Kids for helping her get back on her feet. She plans on bringing in clothing that her own children have outgrown, as a way to give back.

“It’s my turn, you know,” she said.

“You get some and you return some.”

Candidate hopes to get Libertarian message ‘out there’ Scott Helker, of Golden, is running for Colorado governor

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the race for governor, Scott Helker, the Libertarian candidate, is glad he’s coming in above the Mickey Mouse vote.

A telephone survey conducted by Magellan Strategies LLC that took place between Oct. 8-10 placed Helker at pulling 4 percent of the vote. A Mickey Mouse vote — which is when voters write-in Mickey Mouse rather than selecting any of the other candidates on the ballot — generally accounts for about 2 percent of the vote on Election Day, Helker said.

“The reality is that I’m not going to win,” Helker, 62, of Golden said. “But this is great name recognition.”

By name recognition, Helker doesn’t mean his own name. The whole goal of him running is to get the Libertarian message out there and contribute to the party’s branding, he said.

“There was nobody running for governor in the Libertarian party,” Helker said. “Someone had to do it.

People need to know who we are.”

And following his campaign, the Libertarian party will be able to learn

Scott Helker of Golden, the Libertarian candidate for governor, jokes that the family dog, Jam, is his campaign manager. Helker’s goal for running for the office is to get the Libertarian message “out there.”

COURTESY PHOTO from what went well and what went wrong, Helker said.

Helker has lived in Golden for about 20 years. With a professional background as an attorney, his focus was mostly criminal law, but would take on any case except personal injury, Helker said. He earned his law degree from the University of Denver in the 1980s, and his career history includes work-

ing in the district attorney’s office in Durango and as a public defender in San Jose County in California.

He is no longer an active attorney, but remains involved in real estate investment.

Helker met his wife Lisa in California. The two have been married for 26 years, and they’ve raised a 14-year-old daughter who attends Golden High

School.

Helker joined the Libertarian Party about eight years ago.

“The interesting thing about Libertarians,” Helker said, “is that overall, Libertarians are proud to be Libertarians.”

The party’s message is “limited government and fiscal responsibility,” Helker said.

“Libertarians believe the answer to America’s political problems is a fundamental commitment to freedom and voluntary interactions between individuals: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace and free trade,” the Libertarian Party of Colorado’ website states. “Libertarians agree to work towards consistently reducing the government to produce minimum government and maximum freedom.”

If Helker were to be elected as governor, his No. 1 priority, he said, would be to “work on the common ground, rather than that which divides us.”

“There’s got to be something that unifies us,” he said.

Some of the top issues that Helker would take on as governor include the opium crisis, water, housing and exemptions for the bankruptcy laws concerning student loans.

The Orbis House panelists did not try to take all that on. They discussed their support of Amendment 73, which would increase funding for schools in part by introducing a graduated personal income tax rate for people earning more than $150,000 a year; statewide Proposition 112, on oil and gas setbacks; Referred Measure 2E on campaign finance in Denver; and Initiated Ordinance 301 on funding mental health care in Denver. A speaker opposed Amendment 74, which asks voters to expand the circumstances in which governments must compensate owners if official action reduces property values.

Angelo spoke last, fitting as his Initiated Ordinance 302 on food is on the last of the six pages of the Denver ballot, the city’s longest ever.

Houghton, a recent University of Denver graduate who just started his own property restoration company, said he hadn’t known about 302 until he started filling out his ballot this week.

After opening remarks and a question and answer session, the speakers scattered throughout Orbis House for small group discussions. Ally Fried, a middle-school ESL teacher and Orbis Fellow, approached Angelo in the foyer and described keeping snacks on hand for her students.

Angelo said he has found that when people hear about his proposal they are often receptive. After gathering petition signatures to get on the ballot, he and volunteers have been going door-to-door and holding public events as well as spreading the word on the internet. The proposal has been endorsed by nonprofits who feed the hungry and the homeless, as well as by church groups and the American Heart Association and

SM

ia

ISSUES

the American Diabetes Association.

Angelo contrasted the struggles of many families in Denver with Colorado’s reputation for being a healthy state and its booming economy.

“What is the reality of our community that on the surface looks so prosperous?” said Angelo, a former manager of food systems development in Denver’s Office of Economic Development and a former Colorado State University extension agent for Denver County According to city figures, nearly one in five children in Denver are experiencing food insecurity or hunger and nearly 70 percent of Denver Public School students are eligible for free or reduced lunch.

If the initiative passes, a 13-member Denver Food Commission would be created to review applications and make grants to nonprofits and others who are already feeding kids from low-income families, holding cooking classes and doing other work to reduce hunger. The tax would expire after a decade.

What’s known as the Healthy Food for Denver Kids initiative has no organized opposition. But new taxes can be hard to sell. The Denver Post editorial board has called on voters to reject 302 as well as 301 and two other proposals that would increase the sales tax, one for a scholarship fund and another for parks.

The Post said the four would “expand government to unsustainable areas.” It called on voters to send “a message that if a project is worthy of funding it should go through the appropriate channels of government.”

Angelo said his proposal gives voters a chance to make choices about how public funds are used.

“This is an important way for voters’ voices to be heard,” he said.

Changing the world through community Local artist uses murals as teaching tool for children

works with the Maui Boys and Girls Club. In Denver, he continues to work with local schools.

He hopes that by teaching kids about art, he can teach them about the importance of creativity.

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Drawing inspiration When working with schools, Nahulu approaches local businesses to raise money for art supplies. That way the school can keep money for its own supplies for students.

In Hawaii, Nahulu is hoping to be a mentor to other Hawaiian-born artists. As a child, Nahulu loved the works of Herb Kane, an illustrator for “National Geographic” and mural artist that depicted Polynesian life and culture. Later in life when he met his idol, Nahulu said it “was like looking at Santa Claus.” He hopes to inspire other artists the same way Kane inspired him.

For Nahulu, moving to the mainland of the United States as a child was a little bit of a culture shock at first.

After spending some time in Washington, D.C., Nahulu joined his family in Denver at 13, where they lived in the ashram of the Divine Light Mission, a religious movement that started in India. Denver was the U.S. headquarters for Divine Light, which closed in 1979 after the movement changed course.

Adjusting to schools and no longer living the island life took some getting used to, Nahulu said, but there were also new things to experience.

“To me, snow was like a fantasy,” he said. “It was magical. Honest to good-

During the 1990s, low funds forced schools across Colorado to cut budgets — art and music classes were among the first to go. And Washington Park resident and local artist Tommy Nahulu began to worry about what students were missing out on when their creative outlets were taken away.

In 1994 he decided he wanted to find his own way to fight back against those cuts. So Nahulu went to Place Bridge Academy in Denver’s Indian Creek neighborhood and gave each student in the project a 9-by-12-inch canvas. He asked them to paint a scene of what they thought represented their school mascot, a roadrunner.

Nahulu then took the individual canvasses and created a mosaic-style mural around a roadrunner that he painted.

“Art seemed to be the one thing that connected kids to what was inside of them,” Nahulu said. “I felt they were losing more than an art class.”

After growing up and painting in Denver for several years, Nahulu now travels between Maui and Denver, spending time painting with children in both locations. In Hawaii, where he was born and lived as a child, he

ness, when it snows today I still get that rush of how cool it is.”

A special gift Nahulu’s work can be seen on several buildings in Capitol Hill, including murals of Johnny Cash on the Sancho’s Broken Arrow building and Jack Kerouac on the Fork and Spoon reastaurant. Both buildings are on Colfax Avenue. He also continues to work with schools. At Mark Twain Elementary School in Littleton, he helped children create a mural of its writer namesake for the library.

In his public murals and projects with local schools, Nahulu said he enjoys meeting new members of the community. The large scaffolding he uses to paint public murals often brings out members of the neighborhood who talk to Nahulu about his work.

Sharing art is a gift, he said.

The first mural Nahulu was paid for was a painting that featured staff members and the owners inside Rick’s Cafe, a bar and grill in Cherry Creek where he used to work. The restaurant was like family, Nahulu said, and the mural dipicted the staff doing some of their favorite activities -- skiing, white water rafting, even hang gliding. The painting was removed during some renovations.The location closed and is now Chopper’s Sports Grill.

Nahulu did a charicature of Chopper Travaligni, an athletic trainer for the Denver Nuggets, whom the restuarant is named for.

But being paid for his work is not

the only measure of success that Nahulu believes in. Working with children to teach them how to express themselves makes the job satisfying, he said.

“Success can be measured in so many ways,” he said. “I like the idea and the concept of changing your world through your community.”

An Evening of Hope for pancreatic cancer Colorado organization has raised more than a half million dollars for research STAFF REPORT

Paralympian Tricia Downing will share her story of resilience and self-discovery at the Evening of Hope fundraiser for Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

“We are excited to have Tricia as our featured speaker this year. Her message of hope in overcoming insurmountable odds will resonate with everyone,” Maureen Shul, founder and executive director of Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research, said in a news release.

Downing, an author and motivational speaker, will deliver the keynote address at the event Saturday, Nov. 17 at Anschutz Medical Campus, Education 2, South Building, in Aurora. The fundraiser will include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a live auction, as well as a range of inspirational stories.

Ticket and sponsorship information is available at wingsofhopepcr.org or by emailing info@wingsofhopepcr.org.

Since its inception in 2012, Wings

of Hope has raised more than a half million dollars for pancreatic cancer research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.

“Despite more people being diagnosed, pancreatic cancer remains one of the most underfunded of all the cancers when it comes to research, making the funding raised by Wings of Hope all the more critical,” said Shul, who was driven by her own grief to launch the nonprofit organization.

“After losing my brother and mother to pancreatic cancer within months of one another, I founded Wings of Hope to find purpose and give meaning to all that was lost,” she said in the release.

“When you lose the people closest to you, it has a profound impact on every facet of your life. The decision to begin Wings of Hope was entirely grief driven and changed the trajectory of my life.”

The disease, which ranks third among the leading causes of cancer deaths nationwide, has lagged in research.

“With no early diagnostic methods, effective treatments or cure, the need for aggressive research is of critical importance,” said Shul, the founding mayor of Castle Pines.

Because of the lack of early warning signs for pancreatic cancer, the chance of surviving, even for five years after diagnosis, remains just 8.5 percent.

By the time of diagnosis, the disease

VOICES Shakespeare supposedly wrote a lot of great stuff

I

have a dab of Shakespeare (15821616) memorized, and that’s about it. I am a failed scholar when it comes to most of it.

Romeo and Juliet was set in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I think.

I’ve tried.

I am daunted by the language. I admit it.

I have tried to enter sideways, through films like “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” (1935) and “Forbidden Planet” (1956).

“A Midsummer Night’s Dream” was first performed on New Year’s Day, 1605.

Characters are named Snout, Snug, Puck, Bottom and Flute.

It’s one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. It has been staged repeatedly and filmed several times. Woody Allen even took a crack at it.

“Forbidden Planet” has been com-

pared to “The Tempest.”

I know one line from “The Tempest,” and I keep it handy.

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”

QUIET It is often misquoted: “We are such DESPERATION stuff as dreams are made of.”

Either way, I can gather it up and make sense of it.

A lot of Shakespeare takes more time to get through, and that’s when my depth of inquiry disCraig Marshall appoints me. In other words, I’m lazy.

Smith There was a time when I thought I should have far more Shakespeare in my golf bag. It’s not

going to turn out that way.

I look at the wording and something happens. When I have to reread a line three times, I lift my head, look around the room, and plan lunch.

I appreciate the themes, and Shakespeare’s contributions.

I feel the same way about Mozart (1756-91), but I haven’t been as lazy about Mozart as I have been about Shakespeare. The reason is simple: Mozart enters through a different sense. Hearing.

Both of them died young. Mozart, particularly. He only made it to 35.

Shakespeare was married to Anne Hathaway. That’s the kind of things that sticks in my head. Trivia.

I am lining up my List of Regrets, trying to keep it short, not wanting the depression that might come from certain failures to experience some things.

Number One is my complete failure

to have strummed.

I watch these boys and girls with their Stratocasters, and it grieves me that I am not one of them.

What else? It’s looking like I will never see The Great Wall, although I have been to Hoover Dam. No pyramids for me either. Nor Mexico’s ancient ruins.

Jennifer has been to Dachau. I haven’t. Probably won’t. Will wish I had.

I’m thankful for The Travel Channel, but it’s like kissing only by watching others do it.

I could take a month or more and immerse myself in one of my regrets.

Except I won’t.

My photographer has a 9-year-old son who can play a piece on the piano, and then play it again in a different key.

Lottery win isn’t necessary to be winner in generosity

H

ow about the excitement most of us recently experienced during the lotteries? Mega Millions turned into billions of dollars and Powerball, as of the writing of this column, is creeping up on a billion dollars too. Wow, talk about excitement, energy, and hope … just incredible.

Now I know that we all don’t play the lottery, as a matter of fact, I am not someone who would normally play the lottery either. And in other posts and blogs I really advocated for people not to gamble their life savings away or compromise their ability to pay their bills or provide for their families as they caught up in lottery fever. Yet, like many of you and others around the country, I had this feeling that I should at least buy a ticket or two.

After all, you got to be “in it to win it,” right? I mean the odds are in our favor at a 1 in 300 million chance to win?

What I have enjoyed most as I watched the pot build and the potential winnings escalate week after week is talking with the people who were so hopeful and optimistic. Or overhearing those same conversations by others near me in a restaurant, in the grocery line, or on an airplane. The hope was contagious.

You know how the conversations go don’t you? You have probably heard

them or have been in them yourself.

And they sound something like this, “When I win the lottery I am going to …” or “If I win the lottery I am going to …” And we can fill in the blanks with everything that we have heard or maybe even thought of ourselves. Pay off all my debt and the debt of my family. Donate 50 percent to charity. Buy a house in this neighborhood or that city.

Support my church and the missions that WINNING we finance. Buy a WORDS boat, no not a boat, a yacht. No not a yacht, a fleet of yachts. And the list goes on and on. It is fantasy land, it is fun to dream, it is a vortex of hope in the land of hope and dreams.

A friend of mine Michael Norton in Australia, Martin, recently reminded me of something that has nothing, and yet everything to do with our recent lottery frenzy. He was telling me about a moment of personal reflection and prayer where he felt led to act upon the thought, “Don’t worry about doing something big Martin, just do something good.” Think about that for a moment. We don’t have to win the lottery to do something good, we can

be doing good right now.

As always, I love talking with people in the community. And as I waited in line to buy my own tickets, I really enjoyed the conversations I had with people. The smile in their eyes, the hope in their hearts, their very best of intentions revealed if only they could buy the winning ticket. Hope was born.

Now I am not saying that they didn’t already have hope, but I think you would agree with me that the recent lottery fever had many people even more hopeful than they were before.

With all of those millions and billions of dollars we had won in our minds, we were willing to change our lives, our family’s lives, our community, our house of worship, and in some way even the world. It feels so good to hear those thoughts and have those thoughts doesn’t it? Let’s take away the millions and billions of dollars for now, as it is only a matter of time before we do win. But let’s pretend that we never win that much money, can we still find that same passion and sense of purpose of how we can help others? Can we think about the changes we want to make in our own lives, as small as they may be, and make those changes anyway? Can we walk into the store to buy something other than a lottery ticket and still have hope filled and hopeful conversations with people we run into?

Can we donate a few dollars instead of millions?

As I close I want to share with you something Zig Ziglar used to say about money. Zig would say, “I have had money and I haven’t had money, all things being equal, I would rather have money. Money is kind of like oxygen, when you really need it, there is no substitute. But here’s the thing with money; money will buy you a bed, but not a good night’s sleep; money will buy you a house, but not a home; money will buy you a companion, but not a friend; and money will buy you a good time, but not peace of mind.

You see, we want all the things money will buy, but we also want more of the things money won’t buy.”

So how about you? Are you hopefilled and hopeful whether you win the lottery or not? Can you make good contributions today and not wait or worry about having to do something big? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember just how powerful hope is, and how we can make a difference today, it really will be a better than good week.

After arrest, Broncos release backup quarterback Chad Kelly faces charge of first-degree criminal trespass

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Chad Kelly — at the time, the backup quarterback for the Denver Broncos — was arrested on suspicion of illegally entering a home in Englewood after midnight on Oct. 23, according to a news release by Englewood police.

At about 1:20 a.m., police responded to a home in the 3200 block of South Lincoln Street on a report of a man standing Kelly outside, the release said.

As they responded, police were told the man was inside the home, and he was chased out of the home by an occupant, the release said.

CANDIDATE FROM PAGE 6

During campaigning, he learned that Colorado’s rural communities have a big concern with roads, Helker said.

He added their concern is not about congestion, as it is in the cities, but about getting their rural roads paved.

If elected, Helker would offer alternatives to the government solutions to these — and other — issues, he said.

The government is limited on what it can do “because of what government is,” Helker said.

“By thinking outside of the government box,” he said, “you can find a huge wave of alternative ideas.”

For example, Helker said, a solution to “potentially double the current water volumes in the Colorado River basins and refill our slowly depleting aquifers” may be to reintroduce more beavers.

Another example involves homelessness. Helker’s solution is to bring in more tiny houses. Probably a couple hundred tiny homes could fit on a 20acre plot of land, Helker said.

If given the option to move into a tiny home, it could potentially provide a person facing homelessness an opportunity to start out with cheap rent or perhaps even become a homeowner.

Helker can be considered an educational candidate, said Wayne Harlos, chair of the Libertarian Party of

I don’t even know what a key is.

His classmates apparently bully him because he isn’t as involved in sports as they are.

I wonder if Yo-Yo Ma was bullied?

Police found Kelly, matching the description given by the resident, in a black SUV in the area of the Gothic Theatre, about a block west, according to the release.

The Broncos announced the morning of Oct. 24 that Kelly had been released, meaning he is no longer part of the team.

According to an arrest affidavit, a woman inside the home was sitting on a couch near the front door and holding her young child, when a man entered the home and sat down on the couch next to her, “mumbling incoherently.”

A man inside the home hit him with an aluminum vacuum tube in the upper back and kicked him out of the home, the affidavit said. An officer found no signs of forced entry to the home, and the man was caught on security videotape wearing a brown vest and a red scarf around his neck, according to the affidavit. The clothing appeared “disheveled,” the affidavit said.

Broncos players attended a Hallow-

Colorado.

“He has worked very hard to get the Libertarian word out,” Harlos said.

In Delta, Colorado, Harlos said, Helker spent three days, from “sun up to sun down” campaigning during the town’s Applefest on Oct. 4-7. About 100 people followed up, requesting information so they could learn more about the Libertarian party, Harlos said.

“Those are people who wouldn’t have had that curiosity if it weren’t for Scott’s efforts,” he said.

Campaigning has been “a really nice journey,” Helker said.

“You get to meet a lot of nice people,” he added. “It makes you proud to be a part of this state.”

Even though he’s not a Libertarian, Helker’s friend Ron MacLachlan of Denver said he believes Helker would do a “fair and just job” as governor.

Helker has the ability to truly listen to people, which makes him approachable and reliable, MacLachlan said.

“He’s not a life-long politician who has lobbyists dictating where he goes, looking for the next photo op,” MacLachlan said, adding Helker’s campaign has been largely a grassroots effort. “His willingness to get out there … speaks volumes to his character.”

This is the first time for Helker to run for any elected office, he said.

And following his run for governor, he doesn’t have any immediate plans to run for another office.

“But,” Helker said, “you never know.”

een party hosted by star linebacker Von Miller at the Gothic Theatre the night of Oct. 22. Police were aware of that party, said Sgt. Chad Read, spokesman for Englewood police.

“I can only assume that Kelly attended the party, but cannot confirm,” Read said.

Kelly, 24, was taken into custody without incident and jailed on a charge of first-degree criminal trespass. Officers did not observe any injury or markings on Kelly’s back from being struck with the vacuum tube, the affidavit said.

He was released from jail on $2,500 bond. The investigation is ongoing, and Kelly is due back in court Nov. 8.

Kelly, the nephew of hall-of-famer Jim Kelly, was drafted by the Broncos in the seventh round in 2017. He had been the Broncos’ second-string quarterback behind Case Keenum

this season.

In an Oct. 24 news release, Broncos General Manager John Elway commented on the team’s waiving of Kelly.

“This was a decision that we made as an organization,” Elway said. “After reviewing all the information and in talking with (head coach) Vance (Joseph) and (team president) Joe (Ellis), we agreed that releasing Chad was the right thing to do. Even though Chad’s no longer part of our team, we’ve offered to help him however we can and are supportive of him in every possible way.”

During his college career — which included stints at Clemson, East Mississippi Community College and Ole Miss — Kelly encountered off-the-field problems and sustained a knee injury as a senior. But he also flashed professional potential, twice being named second-team All-SEC at Ole Miss.

John Hutton and Emily Van Fleet as Frank and Rita in the comedy “Educating Rita” at the Arvada Center.

‘Educating Rita’ is delight on metro-area stage

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Surrounded by a large, polished wooden desk, cases filled with books, comfortable chairs and a window looking out on a campus lawn, all enhanced by subdued lighting, Frank (John Hutton), a professor and poet — who hasn’t written for some time — tries to remember which title conceals the Scotch …

“Ah! There it is.” The entire stage in the Arvada Center’s Black Box Theatre is transformed into a rather classy academic’s office, with warm tones, polished dark wood — and a bit of clutter. It says “class.’

The doorknob rattles and someone knocks impatiently.

Enter Liverpudlian hairdresser Rita (Emily Van Fleet), a 26-year-old working-class woman who almost seems blown in by the wind. “I want to know everything ... I want to be able to understand …” she tells the startled academic with excitement.

And she has enrolled in the Open University to be educated. “Susan is me real name, but I changed it to

Rita,” she continues.

Her husband is not in favor of this move, she tells Frank, but she knows he loves her.

From the beginning, she hopes/is certain Frank will help her pass her first exam …

There’s some critical discussion of “Howard’s End” by E.M. Forster and a first assignment.

“I wish I could talk like that,” says a dazzled Rita.

A pattern is established, including ongoing conversations and a course of study, with regular papers floating through the slot in the door.

“My first wife left me,” Frank tells Rita … “I stopped writing altogether.” (He keeps on finding half-empty bottles of Scotch placed throughout the bookcase shelves.)

Rita replaces a neglected, dead plant in the office.

As the year progresses, Rita’s appearance, as well as her intellectual strength, improves as does

her confidence. She visits theater and dance performances, attends summer school in London and a real conversation about Shakespeare’s comedy and tragedy ensues. Her marriage ends and Frank’s live-in partner, Julia, leaves him.

Papers continue to appear through the letter slot as Rita soaks up what he offers her like a sponge through the school year, putting her own spin on the topic at hand and getting interested in and acquainted with other students. He is concerned that her originality will disappear with ongoing study … “I don’t want to see you end up in a room like this,” he tells Rita.

In a later scene, we find Frank packing down his office — he’s invited to spend a sabbatical teaching in Australia. The door flies open and it’s Rita. “I came to tell you you’re a good teacher,” she tells him — “do you think you did nothing for me?”

“I tried to call you at the shop,” he says and she explains that she left the hair salon long ago … “Don’t you like me any more now that I’m educated? I’ve got what you have …”

The audience can speculate on whether there’s another act — Russell SEE PRODUCTION, P13

t will surprise no one to hear that there are many, many differences between life in New York City and Denver. But comedian and podcaster Crystal Beth has come across one that may not be immediately obvious to most.

“I asked people for recommendations on good therapists, and found out people here don’t really talk about that,” she said. “In New York, all we do is cry on the subway and talk about which therapist we’re seeing.”

Beth and her husband John Robert moved to Colorado about five months ago in search of COMING more affordable ATTRACTIONS space to do what they love—- tell stories, whether that’s through a microphone or on a stage.

“We wanted a room that we could dedicate to our podcasting operation and have permanently set up all the Clarke Reader equipment we use for our shows,” Beth explained. “We’ve also started Box W Media, a company that will hopefully allow us to produce podcasts for others.”

The pair recently wrapped up a podcast called “The Fifth Eleminute” which was a minute-by-minute examination of the cult-favorite science fiction film. They’re also part of Unlimited Lives Radio, a video game podcast they host with Carlo Rojas and T.J. Del Reno.

Telling stories is a talent Beth picked up from her mother. It was from her mother’s example that Beth learned what makes a good story (or i joke) — having a good button at the t end that calls back to the beginning. e “You want something that brings it all together,” Beth explained. “A p good story doesn’t have to be happy i all the way through or anything like w that. But it does need to make the lis- m tener feel like the speaker is talking t directly to them.” s The world of podcasting is evert growing and competitive, which o means that while there are plenty of b opportunities for people to talk about s what they love, not everybody has the talents to make it entertaining or turn t podcasting into a sustainable business. c Like all things, developing a good pod- b cast takes dedication and practice.

“I love stand-up comedy, but I don’t a do it to become a famous comedian,” c Beth said. “I do it to work on my writing, develop my voice and figure out C c what makes people laugh.”

Beth’s work allows her to not only discuss things she loves, but also to y be open about struggles with anxiety, t B 3 m SEE READER, P13

Sanctuary housing exotic animals is something wild Weld County facility lets visitors view amazing creatures from elevated walkway

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It was a sunny, pleasant fall day for a drive through the plains in southern Weld County and many of the inhabitants of the Wild Animal Sanctuary were basking — on the grass, on platforms, in the openings to underground shelters, next to small wooden structures — at home on the Colorado prairie, although they are certainly not native species, with a few exceptions.

Each one has a story and most were rescued from truly difficult situations.

A guidebook tells their stories ...

Before the animals came to the sanctuary, they were often confined in cages, without adequate food or veterinary care — some came from badly run zoos, others from roadside attractions — or from owners who bought a cute baby tiger or bear cub at an exotic animal auction and soon found it was not a cuddly pet after all. They may have been confined in a rickety building or a concrete pen without fresh air or sunlight or enough food ...

Fortunately, the sanctuary has an on-site veterinary hospital and two veterinarians who can supervise care as needed. The veterinary school at Colorado State University is also available to help.

Each animal has a name: Mafalda, who had serious dental problems, and Walter, who had been declawed and is blind, are grizzlies from a terrible zoo in Argentina, where fortunately,

insecurities and other challenges that she and so many other people experience every day.

Much like stand-up comedy, podcasting is a predominantly male industry. But Beth is eager to work with women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community to tell stories and share voicies on stages (both physical and digital) that have otherwise been shunted off to the side. As long as they don’t become more successful than her, she adds with a laugh.

“I love helping people get to where they want to be,” she said. “Even if it conflicts immensely with my need to be the center of attention.”

Celebrate Diá de los Muertos with a cultural wallk Halloween is on a Wednesday this year, which makes it a little difficult to properly celebrate the holiday.

But Diá de los Muertos is from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 — in other words, more time to celebrate.

IF YOU GO The Wild Animal Sanctuary is at 2999 County Road 53, Keenesburg (the location is east of Hudson in southern Weld County). It’s open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission: $30, adults; $15, ages 3-12. One watches an orientation video upon arrival, then goes up to the overhead walkway. There are picnic tables for those who want to bring a lunch and food and beverages available for purchase. A friendly, well-mannered resident bunch of dogs in all sizes and shapes, who live with the manager, serve as a greeting committee when one arrives.

The zoo was forced to close and the grizzlies were rescued and now live in a large area, with brick paths to help Walter navigate to his den and to food and water. (Also rescued from that zoo were two lions and three tigers.)

Readers who have lived in the metro area for a while may recall an account of the rescue of 25 lions from Bolivian circuses in 2011 after a law was passed there forbidding using animals in circus performances. Included: Bam Bam, Morena, Marta, Rosa, Rosario and Campeon.

Lions live together in prides in nature and these social organizations seem to occur at the sanctuary with patient management that introduces animals slowly under a watchful eye.

Also on the grounds, in separate areas: wolves, jaguars, black bears, wolf hybrids, mountain lions, a few coati mundis and a few kit foxes, a porcupine, an emu and some alpacas.

In honor of the albums, James is going on a first-ever solo tour, featuring just him and longtime touring drummer David Givan play songs from his entire oeuvre. He’ll be stopping by the

We didn’t see any feeding times, although my daughter and son-in-law recall a happy bear who was very possessive of a watermelon on a previous visit they made.

At another spot on the land, there is a special tiger pool, where animals can be introduced to each other in a spot that isn’t anyone’s territory.

Soon, it will be time for the resident bears to tank up on food and hibernate Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place, at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Getting another shot at prom as an adult in RiNo Prom is one of those events that our culture has turned into a major life milestone, when for most people, it was just another in a long line of school dances.

For those who want another crack at the whole prom thing, RiNo is giving adults a chance with the RiNo Prom, beginning at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 10 and ending around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, the 11th. Prom will be held at the B-Spot Gallery, 2750 Blake St. in Denver.

This 21-and-older event will feature everything that go into traditional proms —- gowns, tuxes, limo rides and dancing. But there will also be no curfew, spiked punch and more.

in their provided underground dens, so a mid-winter visitor won’t be likely to see them, although we were told that they do come out briefly at times for a snack.

One views the animals from a mile and a half long walkway that carries one high above the furry residents.

Apparently, when one stands behind a fence looking in, animals feel uncomfortable and territorial behavior results, but we were told that they aren’t concerned by overhead visitors.

Recent good news: The Wild Animal Sanctuary, which is pretty well filled, has been able to buy a large piece of ranch land near La Junta, with natural caves, rock formations, trees and more, where safe spots can be available for future needy animals.

The owner is willing to carry a loan and it will be paid through donations, allowing space for many more needy animals as years go by. Called a refuge, it will probably not be open for visitors as this remarkable sanctuary is.

These actors are both really so skilled and keep up the pace through a story that can trace back to the classical “Pygmalion” and up through the more contemporary “My Fair Lady” and “Pretty Woman” — and most recently, “A Star is Born.” Originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

“Educating Rita” premiered in London in 1980 and was adapted

by Russell for film in 1983. Russell also wrote “Shirley Valentine” and “Blood Brothers,” which is still playing in London’s West End. We are so happy to see the Black Box Theatre Series start a second year at the Arvada Center under director Lynne Collins. Coming up in early 2019, performances by the repertory company: “Diary of Anne Frank,” “The Moors,” “Sin Street Social Club.” We welcome Hutton’s return to the area, since we so enjoyed his performances at Denver Center Theatre Company. And Van Fleet, who has appeared at Arvada Center and elsewhere, was just a delight to watch — and listen to!

Searching for the paranormal in Littleton Research society makes visit to Hudson Gardens Inn

Paralyzing illness spurs search for medical clues Most victims of puzzling disorder are children as time pattern starts to emerge

BY DYLAN BOXER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

BY MIKE STOBBE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As the sun set over the supposedly haunted Hudson Gardens Inn, crowds of anxious paranormal enthusiasts flocked to its grounds.

These onlookers came from across the city to be educated and entertained by the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society.

This research team, led by Bryan Bonner, has been actively investigating paranormal claims for 20 years and came to Hudson Gardens in Littleton on Oct. 18 to share their expertise.

He began by going over his equipment, explaining what each piece of machinery does and how it is useful for detecting paranormal entities. Audio-recording devices, video surveillance cameras and various types of electromagnetic detectors were just a few of the gadgets at his disposal.

“We are a scientifically based team,” explained Bonner.

On top of all the electronic devices, the research society also utilizes resources some may find archaic.

“You’d be surprised what you’re able to find in a library or old newspaper clippings,” Bonner said.

The Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society’s first tactic when starting an investigation is to take an in-depth look at the history of the location in question, along with finding the truth behind the deceased who once occupied that residence.

They do this to eliminate any false or exaggerated rumors and “ghost stories” that might be told by the townspeople near the site.

As the night continued, Bonner enraptured the crowd with his own personal adventures and ghastly tales of disembodied voices, phantom footprints and bumps in the night.

He then went on to explain the haunted history of the Hudson Garden Inn. It was purchased in 1941 by King and Evelyn Hudson, who developed it into a restaurant called the

U.S. health officials recently reported a jump in cases of a rare paralyzing illness in children, and said it seems to be following an every-other-year pattern.

At least 62 cases have been confirmed in 22 states this year, and at least 65 additional illnesses in those states are being investigated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Similar waves of the same illness occurred in 2014 and 2016.

CDC officials say they haven’t found the cause. Some possible suspects, such as polio and West Nile virus, have been ruled out. Another kind of virus is suspected, but it’s been found in only some of the cases.

“This is a mystery so far,” the CDC’s Dr. Nancy Messonnier said in a call on Oct. 16 with reporters.

About 90 percent of the cases are children who have suffered muscle weakness or paralysis, including in the face, neck, back or limbs. The symptoms tend to occur about a week after they had a fever and respiratory illness.

It is “a pretty dramatic disease,” but fortunately most kids recover, Messonnier said.

Health officials call the condition acute flaccid myelitis. The CDC would not release a list of the states reporting probable or confirmed cases. But some states have previously announced clusters, including Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado, New York and Washington.

The cases in 2014 and 2016 were partly attributed to particular strains of respiratory germs called enteroviruses, which spread the most in the summer and fall.

Most people infected with enteroviruses suffer only minor symptoms like cough and runny nose. And though enteroviruses have been detected in some paralysis cases, it hasn’t been found in others, CDC officials say.

Lacking an established cause, health officials confirm cases through a review of brain scans and symptoms.

About 120 confirmed cases were reported in 2014.

Another 149 were reported in 2016. In 2015 and 2017, the counts of reported illnesses were far lower.

The cases this year seem to be spread across much of the country, as were the earlier two waves. But mysteriously no other country has reported the emerging everytwo-years pattern seen in the U.S., Messonnier said.

In 1962, the restaurant was converted into the North Woods Inn. One of the trademarks of this establishment was the enormous Paul Bunyan statue that stood outside. In 1997, South Suburban Park and Recreation District purchased the buildings and grounds.

After 1962, strange occurrences started taking place within the walls of the inn, some say.

Ominous winds, as if from nowhere, would shake the chandeliers, the story goes. Footprints that lead to dead ends would spontaneously appear in hallways. There was even a claim of a woman’s necklace levitating from her neck.

As of today, those who work at the inn can attest to continued paranormal activities. One worker claims that chairs, once put away, have reassembled themselves in a different order.

Others have spoken about feeling whispers on the backs of their necks while roaming the halls.

Events of this caliber are what attract the Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society — those and the history behind these claims.

Longmire story takes series hero across border Author Craig Johnson recently spoke on his craft in metro area

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Wyoming Sheriff Walt Longmire has been fighting Mexican drug cartel boss Tomas Bidarte for some time, but things truly took a bad turn at the end of Craig Johnson’s last Longmire book, “Western Star.”

Longmire’s beloved daughter, Cady, was kidnapped by Bidarte and is hidden in a remote village in northern Mexico.

The evil drug lord threatens to auction her off to the highest bidder.

Longmire, who of course must save her, doesn’t get much help from the American government, nor the Mexican one and must go alone to rescue her. Well, almost alone, with his American Indian sidekick, Henry Standing Bear, and Vic staying behind in Wyoming …

Move the scene to an old bar in Juarez, where supposedly, the margarita was invented …

Johnson immediately begins to introduce a cast of characters. The Seer is a humpback man with no legs, who has a driver in a big, pink Mary Kay Cadillac …

Then it’s Guzman, who gets him started on his quest, guided by young, almost silent (due to his tongue being cut out) but to-betrusted Isidro, who is Apache/Tarahumara and a fine marksman. More names will appear in this imaginative cast …

Estante del Diablo, Shelf of the Devil, is the destination village, where the captive Cady is held, and Longmire is warned to trust nobody at all!

Johnson’s sense of humor underlies his storytelling although the landscape is grim and characters are violent … a bit too grim for this reader as an introduction to this popular series — “Depth of Winter” is No. 14, but I haven’t read the earlier books.

The village, when Longmire finds it, is a really awful, ugly place — the contrast of a sort of festival happening makes it seem even worse.

Of course, our hero is captured and more characters appear on the scene. Johnson really writes well as he keeps one in the moment, wherever Longmire is, as he gets near to his daughter and starts figuring out a plan … A reader can smell the village, feel the heat and see the worn buildings, including the one where Cady is imprisoned.

One can’t be alive and reading in the West and remain unaware of this legendary sheriff-and the related TV series. I will try an earlier

Craig Johnson’s latest Longmire book, “Depth of Winter” carries the Wyoming Sheriff, Walt Longmire, to Mexico.

COURTESY PHOTO

story next.

When Douglas County Libraries brought Johnson here to speak recently, I was thoroughly engaged.

He said he often starts a book with inspiration from a newspaper article in his massive file of clippings.

“You’re looking at an `executive creative consultant,’” he said with a happy grin. Dispatches by sheriff ’s deputies are also a good source of stories.

A look at early reviews finds fans who disagree with his choice to wander from Wyoming and the sheriff ’s home territory. When he spoke at Lone Tree, he reminisced fondly about his American Indian friends, who live near his ranch in Wyoming. (“I say Indian,” he declared.) “But, these are my friends and neighbors—where is the tension? Hollywood relies on tension!”

So he set out for dangerous northern Mexican cartel country with Longmire — which provides plenty of tension and still more characters and storylines.

“Do you ever write something that makes you laugh?,” he was asked in a following Q&A session. “If it doesn’t make me laugh, it won’t make you laugh,” he responded.

And there are indeed funny parts in “Depth of Winter,” despite the desperate circumstances.

Suspend the logic and roll with Johnson as he leads Longmire in and out of one dangerous situation after another. Watch a master storyteller at work as he reassembles the puzzle pieces …

And picture this story on film eventually — it would seem to be a natural.

Archery Games Denver is the action-packed experience that combines archery and dodgeball.

SHANNA FORTIER

Archery Games is open for public and private play

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Think dodgeball, but played with bows and foam-tipped arrows in an indoor arena. That’s the premise behind Archery Games Denver, which opened in Arvada the weekend of Sept. 15.

The action-packed game is aimed at offering a family-friendly experience, with each session running 75 minutes long — 25 minutes of briefing, basic archery training and practice time followed by 50 minutes of game play.

No archery experience is needed to play and the recommended age range is 10 and older.

“The key is to have everyone keep moving,” said Jesse Warlick, co-owner of Archery Games Denver.

Warlick, who had previously worked in investment banking, got the for Archery Games after his business partner returned from a bachelor party in Montreal, Canada, where he played a similar game.

“He told me he had a blast, we should look into it and that it could really work in Denver,” Warlick said.

After checking out the concept for himself, Warlick saw potential for kids’ parties as well as corporate team-building outings.

“Varying types of crowds really enjoy this,” Warlick said. “Men, women, kids, adults… guys are an easier sell, but girls, once they are in there, they really enjoy it. For team building its’ a pretty fun thing because it’s active.

People sit at their desks so much now, so if you get them out there and get

Team building is exactly why Warren Fernandes and his co-workers visited Archery Games.

“My default is usually an escape room or a brewery,” Fernandes said, of their team building activities. “But this gets you a different side of team building. I didn’t except it to be this much of a workout.”

Archery Games is meant to be physical and participants are encouraged to dress for the gym. But the Warlick said the arrows are designed for safety, specially engineered to leave no bruises or marks. Masks are also required at all times in the arena to protect the eyes.

The arrows, manufactured in Germany, were first used for live action role playing. Each arrow combines an injection molded pressure distributor with multiple layers of foam to safety distribute and absorb the force of the arrow.

Archery Games’ climate controlled indoor facility is located at 5405 W 56th Ave, Unit D in Arvada and features a 3,300 square foot playing field and separate practice range.

Spice of Life’ brings zest to gallery Newness, surprise are themes of art in show ending Nov. 11

IF YOU GO The Depot Gallery is located at 2069 W. Powers Ave., just north of the Buck Recreation Center in Littleton. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesday to Saturday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free. 303-795-0781.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Members of the Littleton Fine Arts Guild were challenged to “consider an attitude or the element of surprise when they taste a new dish, or hear a new song, or read an inspiring story, or try a new color in a painting …” resulting in the new “Spice of Life” exhibit, which opened Oct. 12 with a reception and runs through Nov. 11 at the Depot Art Gallery, 2069 W. Powers Ave. Genial juror Dean Buhler circulated through the reception crowd and talked with exhibiting artists about their artwork.

When you visit, be sure to look for his “Catitude,” to the right of the front door. In addition to fine painting technique, there is a sense of humor evident. Buhler’s website quotes him as saying he works on one painting at a time, “mood driven.” He speaks of the dignity he finds in living things, “deeply rooted in a desire to fulfill their nature …” He has attended numerous other artists’ classes and workshops, has a background in telecommunications prior to his painting career as well as a law JD degree and

a brief period in a legal practice. He is represented by the Blue River Fine Art Gallery in Breckenridge.

Buhler chose Paul Nutting’s nostalgic painting, “Paloverde in Bloom,” with its bright yellow flowering tree, surrounding saguaro cactuses and other desert landscape with distant mountains, as winner of the Best of Show award. It offers a brief Arizona visit, beautifully rendered — one can almost smell that desert.

At the opening reception, awards were announced by the juror and guests were asked to vote for their favorites.

Stacy Roberts’ striking “Morning Light” was selected “People’s Choice.”

The technique and color in this tall, vertical, abstracted landscape reminded me a bit of Georgia O’Keeffe’s relationship to the New Mexico desert where she lived and painted. I can well understand how it drew viewers’ attention and votes.

First place was awarded to David George for “Color and Smells of Flowers,” a cheerful bright garden patch, while second place went to Carol Broere’s “Colorful Forest,” a still life.

“Paloverde in Bloom” by Paul Nutting is Best in Show in the new “Spice of Life” exhibit at the Depot Art Gallery.

COURTESY PHOTO Third place was awarded to Larry Goodwin’s photograph, “Sitting on Top of the World,” depicting a happy, small, perky black dog, centered in a sort of vacant landscape — with a big sky.

Four honorable mentions went to Bill Knolls, “Straw with Color” — a red autumn leaf caught in dry grass; Pat Dall, “Autumn Maize,” ears of colorful Indian corn; Kathy Meyers, “Aurora”; and Eva Kraus, a Raku-fired vase.

The exhibit includes a number of colorful small and medium-sized paintings, a selection of jewelry, ceramic pieces and unframed smaller

paintings and drawings, as well as lovely artist-made notecards that are a gift in themselves …

Time to consider some holiday shopping — or that bare patch of wall that needs a touch of color. The Depot Art Gallery is a year-round source for original items you won’t find anywhere else, with exhibits that change monthly.

The gallery is housed in Littleton’s original 1891 Santa Fe Depot, which was a daily scene of excitement when the mail came in, and its adjacent caboose, which houses photographs of trains, of course. Next exhibit: “Holiday Express,” with gifts of all sorts.

The sale will be held at: 865 South Ogden Street, Denver, CO 80219.

The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid the lesser amount of the loan balance or the appraised value obtained by the Secretary prior to sale.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorated share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.

When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling 10% of the Secretary’s bid in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not be accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of 10% of the Secretary’s bid must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.

The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extension will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.

If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit, or at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.
