The event featured extravagant altars, silent and live auctions, music, food and tequila samples, all with the aim of inspiring and educating about Día de los Muertos and the work the cultural center does throughout the year. It hosts more than 20 events and three signature programs, and the money raised will allow the center to continue to provide free or low-cost programs to more than 38,000 people.

Coloradans can now create an electronic version of their driver’s license or state identification card that can be displayed on smartphones for proof of identification, age and address in Colorado.

The launch of the Colorado Digital ID in the myColorado mobile app, the state’s official mobile app, was announced Oct. 30 by Gov. Jared Polis, according to a news release. Colorado Digital ID is a secure, unique visual representation of what has traditionally been the legally accepted official physical format of a person’s identification.

“As technology evolves, I’m excited to make sure that government keeps up with the times. We are rapidly moving to support the use of mobile digital identity solutions that allow any of us to verify our identity and conduct business without the need to carry a plastic identification card,” Polis said in the release. “Colorado continues to be a national leader when it comes to technology.”

Polis also signed an executive order stating that Colorado Digital ID shall be authorized, and may be accepted, as a legal form of personal identification for use in Colorado, the release said.

Aiming to build bridges Organization stages first fundraiser celebrating Día de los Muertos

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Día de los Muertos is one of the most popular and well-known cultural events in the Mexican calendar. Thanks to movies like Pixar’s “Coco,” it’s gained a cross-cultural appeal that has inspired many to learn more about the holiday and

culture it celebrates.

Which made it the perfect pairing for the Mexican Cultural Center’s first fundraising event, hosted at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Thursday, Oct. 24. The organization is hoping to make the fundraiser an annual event.

“As a nonprofit organization we need to raise the funds to support our year-round programming,” said Ana Valles, executive director of the cultural center. “Also, one of our goals with the event is to get the word out and educate about our culture and traditions. That’s why for MCC’s first fundraiser, we used Día de los Muer-

Film fest takes audiences to new places Denver event also honors late artistic director

IF YOU GO

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

At its core, film is an expression of people’s lives, and as such, it stands to reason film festivals would mirror this fact. And for more than two decades, the Denver Film Festival was at least partly an expression of Denver Film’s artistic director, Michael Brittin “Brit” Withey.

The 50-year-old was killed in a one-car accident on March 31 and so it’s fitting that the 42nd Denver Film Festival begins with a tribute to the man and just some of the movies he loved.

“Brit was a mentor to me, so I’ve been working with others in his stead on this year’s festival,” said Matthew Campbell, interim artistic director. “We spent the last year trying to put together something really special. Something to honor Brit’s legacy and something for everyone, regardless of what their tastes are.”

The festival kicks off on Wednesday, Oct. 30 and runs through Sunday, Nov. 10 at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, 14th and Curtis Street, UA Denver Pavilions, 500

16th St. and SIE Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. The Festival Annex will again be set up at the McNichols Civic Center Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave. During the festival’s run more than 250 films will be screened, including local, national and international works. There will also be industry panels, achievement awards, tributes, as well as an International Focus on Brazilian Cinema.

“We have some great red carpets with some movies that will be discussed well into award season,” said Festival Director and Interim Executive Director Britta Erickson.

“The body of program is super strong, with films from more than 40 countries.”

Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out,” featuring a knock-out cast that includes Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Toni Collette, LaKeith Stanfield and Jamie Lee Curtis, is one of four red carpet special events, with Johnson in attendance to receive the 2019 John Cassavetes Award on Thurs-

Other notable films that will be screened include Trey Edward Shults’ award-worthy “Waves,” Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story” and Mark Cousins’ 14-hour documentary, “Women Make Film.”

As in previous years, the Festival Annex has become the place to be for people who want a more interactive experience. The annex will play host to panel discussions; virtual reality, interactive and immersive experiences; High School Day; community engagement; and a Festival Lounge for the public.

A popular returning feature is the 60-minute “Fire Escape,” which can include up to 15 people at a time.

In the experience, eight building tenants are entangled in a murder and participants need to solve the case. And then there is “Arden’s

Wake: Tide’s Fall,” a virtual reality experience that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, where a young woman lives with her father in a lighthouse at the edge of an endless sea.

“Creatives are doing some really exciting things with VR experiences,” said Campbell. “We’re bringing these different types of storytelling and new technological forms to Denver audience. A lot of them are brand new, and there’s no other way to experience them.”

Creating an experience is really what makes attending a film festival a unique experience. For many of these films, particularly shorts and international films, this may be the only chance to see them on a big screen. Both Campbell and Erickson encourage attendees to be bold and adventurous when selecting films or themes to explore and then attend a panel or discuss the films you check out.

“What’s important in experiencing a film festival is taking chances.

Read through the guide, pick things that feel heartfelt to you and things that connect with you,” Erickson said. “You may not love everything you see, but you have to dive in. We want you to have a dialogue about what you see, because you get more out of the experience when you interact with your fellow audience members.”

So I know how Momo felt when he twisted his foot at soccer practice and then slammed it again at baseball. At Children’s Colorado, he had an elite recovery team and a custom-built plan to bring him back stronger than before. But only one person could get him back on the field, giving his all. Momo. And that takes grit.

Thanks for inspiring me, Momo.

A taste of Italy in Englewood Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bake opens its doors

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Gaspare Licata grew up in a household where cooking and baking was the family business. The Sicily, Italy native left his country and family when he was only 13 to learn more about the family trade. He wanted to work with chocolate, learn how to bake wedding cakes and more — so he went out on an adventure.

Licata traveled throughout different parts of Europe learning the ins and outs of cooking and baking before eventually settling down in the United States in 1972. His adventure paid off and led to a career as a personal chef for the Los Angeles Rams, catering for the Kennedy family and ownership of restaurants and bakeries in areas including Italy, California, Pueblo and Aurora.

Now, Licata has his eyes set on South Broadway in downtown Englewood. With his daughter Vincenza Licata, and her boyfriend, Brian Meadows, the trio rebranded the Duffer Haus sports bar site into a fullblown Italian restaurant. The former Duffer Haus space is now Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bake, located at 3470 S. Broadway. The Italian restaurant opened at the beginning of October.

Vincenzo Pollio, a chef at Gallo Italian Supper Club, shows off a pizza. Every dish at the restaurant is made from scratch.

JOSEPH RIOS “I’ve opened up a few places that have been successful, and I think South Broadway has more potential than any place I’ve been. It just takes time,” said Gaspare, who is in charge of the kitchen.

At the front of the restaurant is a rooster statue. Gallo translates to rooster in Italian, and the animal is seen as a symbol of good luck in Italian culture, according to Meadows.

On the left side of the restaurant is a bakery and deli where customers can

pick up Italian sweets, meat and more.

Toward the back of the restaurant, behind the bar, is a dining room with authentic Italian decorations straight from Sicily.

“It’s family owned and family operated. All of the staff you see in here are friends and family of the owners,” said Meadows. “It’s very important for us to keep this as a mom and pop shop.

We like that family feel, that family vibe.”

As far as the menu goes, every dish

is made from scratch. Meadows said one of the most popular items on the restaurant’s menu is the arancini — risotto stuffed with Bolognese and mozzarella or green chili and cheddar.

Other offerings from the restaurant include pastas, pizzas, calzones, lasagna and desserts.

“If you go to Italy, you’re going to get overfed. They love to cook, and It’s very well shown within their meals,” said Meadows. “Our portions, they’re family style. They’re big.”

The restaurant is planning on having a rebranding party sometime in the middle of November that will include live performances. It’s open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays.

The 3400 block of South Broadway has seen some change this year with new businesses like Brewability, a brewery that took over the Brew on Broadway location, and Zomo Asian + American Eatery joining the area.

“We might just have to start calling these two blocks of Englewood ‘restaurant row.’ A place where you can enjoy cuisine from all over the world, sample the styles of various chefs and join our local celebrities at some of their favorite haunts,” said David Carroll, executive director for the Greater Englewood Chamber of Commerce.

Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bake is part of the chamber, an organization that promotes its business members and other Englewood businesses.

Molson Coors closing Denver office, cutting 500 jobs Company to invest in modernizing Golden brewery

BY DEE-ANN DURBIN ASSOCIATED PRESS

Molson Coors Brewing Co. is laying off 500 workers worldwide and restructuring its operations as it faces declining beer sales.

The company expects to save $150 million by closing offices in Denver and elsewhere and simplifying its structure. Its four business units — U.S., Canada, Europe and International —will be consolidated into North America and Europe, with other regions reporting to those two.

Chicago will be its North American headquarters. Support functions like finance and human resources that are scattered around the U.S. will now be based in Milwaukee.

Molson Coors says it will save approximately $150 million with the new structure. It will use those savings to improve its digital marketing capabilities and introduce new products more quickly, like the canned wine and hard coffee it unveiled this year. Molson Coors says it has been working on reducing the time it takes to bring new products to market from 18 months to as little as four months in the U.S. Molson Coors is also continuing its previously announced plan to modernize its breweries and make them more flexible to meet consumer

demand. The company’s brewery in Golden is the largest in the U.S., brewing up to 10 million barrels of beer each year.

“Our business is at an inflection point,’’ Molson Coors President and CEO Gavin Hattersley said in a statement. “We can continue down the path we’ve been on for several years now, or we can make the significant and difficult changes necessary to get back on the right track.’’

Hattersley became president and CEO recently when CEO Mark Hunter retired.

Molson Coors is dropping “Brewing’’ from its name to emphasize that it makes more than beer. It will become Molson Coors Beverage Co. in January.

Beer sales were up 5% in Asia and Western Europe in 2018 and rose 6% in Eastern Europe, according to Euromonitor. But they were flat in the U.S. as canned cocktails, hard seltzers and craft beers stole share from big brewers. The company’s beer brands include Miller, Molson, Coors, Blue Moon, Pilsner Urquell and Foster’s.

It also makes Henry’s Hard Soda.

Overall Molson Coors reported a thirdquarter loss of $402.8 million on Oct. 30. On a per-share basis, the company lost $1.86. Earnings, adjusted for asset impairment costs and non-recurring costs, were $1.48 per share.

That exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, according to Zacks Investment Research. But the company’s adjusted revenue of $2.84 billion which fell short of analysts’ forecasts.

Molson Coors’ sales fell 3% to $8.1 billion in the first nine months of the year.

DIGITAL FROM PAGE 1

The Colorado business community is highly encouraged to begin accepting the Digital ID, and state agencies are advised to accept it beginning Dec. 1.

Colorado law enforcement agencies may continue to require physical forms of identification by members of the public in all law enforcement and public safety situations, so Coloradans should continue to take their physical ID wherever they go. myColorado is a collaborative project between the governor’s office, the Office of Information Technology, the Department of Revenue, the Division of Motor Vehicles and the Colorado Department of Public Safety. The Colorado Digital ID will evolve over time as national standards are identified and adopted to allow for interstate usage and to make it compliant with federal REAL ID requirements.

“The myColorado app is just the beginning of our journey to increase virtual access to government services,” State Chief Information Officer and OIT Executive Director Theresa Szczurek said in the release. “Stay tuned as the State of Colorado continues to expand the myColorado app by adding features and services that Coloradans want the most.”

With the myColorado mobile app, Coloradans can also renew their driver’s licenses, receive notifications about important state news, securely store personal and payment information, and search for online state services in one place. Storage of vehicle registration and insurance cards in the myColorado Wallet is coming soon, the release said.

“We are continually working to bring topflight technology to the people of Colorado. These digital services will modernize the way people interact with state government,” Department of Revenue Executive Director Lu Córdova said in the release.

Coloradans may download the app to their smartphones via the Apple App Store or Google Play. Visit myColorado. state.co.us to learn more about myColorado and the Colorado Digital ID.

by Kathy Muni According to a recent survey of seniors, 80% were concerned about their ability to age in place, due to the cost. Sixty percent have less than $10,000 in savings (including investments and retirement plans), and debt among seniors has never been higher. Nearly half of homeowners ages 65–79 carry a mortgage.

In addition, seniors are living longer than previous generations.

All this adds up to a tough reality: funding longevity is hard.

However, there is a smart way to afford retirement, and live without a monthly mortgage payment: a home equity conversion mortgage, or HECM. To qualify for a government-insured HECM (reverse mortgage), at least one borrower must be 62 or older, the home must be your primary residence, and you should have 40–60% equity. A HECM eliminates your monthly mortgage payment, which can be a real burden if you’re on a fixed income. HECM

The road to end mental health stigma Scott Masters hopes to raise $10,000 by running 10K daily

TO LEARN MORE To learn more about Scott Masters’ donation campaign for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, go to https://donate. nami.org/fundraiser/2251857. To follow Masters on his road to run 10K a day, go to http://mastersreg.com/10kto10k/.

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For more than two months, Scott Masters has gotten up, no matter the weather, and headed outside to run a 10K — 6.2 miles. In 67 days, he’s racked up 436 miles, and along the way he’s raised about half of his goal for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

For most of his life, Masters said he has dealt with anxiety and depression. While his 10K to $10K campaign does have a financial gift to a mental health group, Masters hopes to do more in building awareness. “I just want people to understand that it’s OK to have these disorders,” he said of his daily runs.

Masters blogs about each of his runs on his real estate website. In many ways, the daily runs have become a metaphor for his own issues with mental health, he said.

There are good days, and there are bad ones.

“You wake up some days and you say, ‘I don’t want to do this,’” Masters said. “I’m not just going to post the happy things. Having a bad day

d n o c Se l a u n An

In order to bring more awareness to mental health, Scott Masters began running 10k a day in the hopes of raising $10,000. Masters said he has dealt with depression and anxiety for most of his life.

COURTESY OF ALISHA LIGHT is OK.” In the United States, Masters said, mental health disorders can often be seen as a weakness. While other countries allow employees time off to take care of themselves mentally, most businesses here would not allow for that, he said.

“Mental health can be a sickness,” Masters said, adding that people can’t perform their jobs at their highest levels when they’re struggling with anxiety, depression or any number of other mental health disorders.

As part of his campaign, Masters shared his own story on his donation page about dealing with mental health disorders.

“I recently went through the worst year of my life,” he wrote. “At age 40, I felt like I had no control over what I did or what I was thinking. I lost everything that I spent my life trying to build. I was lost in a cloud of darkness and I couldn’t find my way out.”

Because of the stigmas against mental health issues, Masters said it was very difficult to begin writing his story, and then put it out there for the world to see. It was particularly hard for him to share the story with his parents.

But as he’s kept going, lacing up his shoes every day for a run, Masters said he started receiving

comments from people saying they had similar issues in their lives.

Knowing that has helped keep him going, Masters said.

Now that he has shared the story with his parents, they’ve been supportive. His dad has joined him on a few runs, Masters said. He also has two children, a son and a daughter, whom he hopes will learn a valuable lesson from his running campaign.

Masters has also joined a running club with the Platte Park Brewing Co., saying “it’s helped just to be around people.”

As of press time for the November issue of the Washington Park Profile, Masters has raised $5,551 for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Masters said he will keep running those 6 miles daily until he’s raised the $10,000. He’s also hoping his story will inspire more people to seek help or treatment.

Although he said he’s not sure how long it will take to raise the funds, getting outside for exercise is something that has helped him in his own “personal journey.” From his house, around Washington Park and back is almost exactly 6.2 miles.

He added that he’s a big believer in physical health being connected to mental health. Although the day may start with him not wanting to go out for a run, he’s usually “in a better spot” by the end of it.

“My mind is a lot clearer.”

OK, OK, there’s no two ways about it

I

had writer’s block. I had no original ideas. I knew if the block lingered, I would revert, and harangue about the injustices being, like, done, like, to, like, the English language.

So I went to Jennifer and said, “Help me, please. Give me an idea, a topic, a subject, a theme,” and you QUIET know what she said? DESPERATION She said, “Okay.”

I looked at those luminous periwinkles of hers and said, “Thank you, thank you.”

If you have ever wondered why we say “okay” — or “OK,” per The Associated Press StyleCraig Marshall book— you have Smith Jennifer to thank.

This one little word — or two letters — is said over and over, all day and all night, to express “assent, agreement, or acceptance.”

One day, he asked for words in the English language that have all five vowels in order.

It turns out there are twenty-seven, but most of them (“travertinous”) rarely are used.

I called in “facetious” and won a six-pack of furniture polish.

Did I have furniture? When I was a college student in the 1960s and the 1970s, my furniture was sometimes the floor.

I had cinder blocks and one by sixes for bookshelves. You don’t polish one by sixes.

But I had won, and that’s all that mattered. The host mentioned my name on the air.

“Greg Smith,” he said.

But I didn’t mind. I was okay with it.

Whenever I feel an “OK” coming on, I write “okay” instead.

For one very good reason: “OK” is the accepted abbreviation for “Oklahoma.” And if you have seen the play or the film or simply heard the soundtrack of the Rodgers and

Hammerstein project, you know what I mean.

Thoreau said, “Simplify,” and that’s what we do. We have streamlined language — for better or worse. I try not to.

I will never say “app” instead of “application.” It’s true: I am (generally) a word snob.

(Some think “snob” derives from “sine nobilitate,” meaning “without nobility.”)

The enjoyment of words is in words.

Granted, some abbreviations are welcome. Take my alma mater.

Please.

If I had to write “University of California at Los Angeles” all the time, my index finger would wear out.

Focusing on the fantastic frees us from fear and failures

ow, there are six “f ” words in the title of this column. And I am sure you have noticed that they are slightly different from what some might think about when they consider the “f ” word.

If you are like others, you probably thought about “f ” words like faith, family, friends, fortune, fitness, fantastic, focused, fabulous, fortunate, freedom, WINNING forgiveness, fellowWORDS ship, feelings, and a few other fresh and fulfilling words that foster fruitful friendships.

Not trying to tell anyone how to use the “f ” word, I am just trying to suggest there are so many other alternatives Michael Norton that may be an equally, or maybe an even more effective and fun way to make our point. Feelings often facilitate or fuel our desire to want to use the “f ” word, especially

DENVER

of us language historian types agree that “OK” stands for “all correct.”

Well, because language, she is a funny girl.

Have you ever wondered where “shampoo,” “tattoo,” and “barbecue” came from? I’ll save those for my next bout of writer’s block. Okay?

Some think “OK” comes from oblique thinking, and it’s a twist around of “oll korrect,” as an obvious witticism that wasn’t “all correct.”

And that it can be traced to the 19th century.

Right now, right this minute, there are abbreviations and acronyms that might stay with us just as OK has.

For examples; “LOL” and “OMG,” neither of which you will see here, unless they are used facetiously.

That word “facetious” won me a prize.

Long before Turner Classic Movies, there was a Los Angeles television station that showed movies all day, and, unlike Turner, it was not commercial-free.

However, like Turner, there was a host, and he sometimes quizzed view-

when we have been hurt or disappointed. I get it, and you are probably thinking the same thing as me right now, that when we are hurt or disappointed, we immediately go to our “f ” words, forgiveness and freedom. Or phrased slightly differently, the freedom that comes with forgiveness.

Oh, that’s not what you were thinking? That’s OK too. There is always a first time for everything. Kind of like the first time I was asked to try cauliflower. I didn’t really care for it — as a matter of fact it was far from fantastic or fabulous, I thought it tasted foul.

But then one day a chef had prepared it differently, presented it on the plate in a fresh and favorable way, and when I tasted it, I experienced a festive and flavorful meal that was truly phenomenal. Okay, so I cheated with the “ph” but you get the point right?

I often write about how important our word choices are and how they impact our attitude and our behaviors.

They influence how others perceive us and if we are not careful, our words can damage our reputation and our relationships. Our words can cause

And yes, the other “f ” words that come to mind when thinking about forgiveness are the faith to trust in the power of forgiveness, remembering that our family comes first, so do not withhold forgiveness; eternity is a forever thing and we should forgive as we have been forgiven; to be fearless and courageous enough to offer forgiveness; and to experience and enjoy the freedom that comes with unconditional forgiveness.

I encourage you to try that last one for sure, I believe you might like it.

So how about you? Frankly speaking, are you open and flexible enough to maybe try and use a few different “f ” words and follow a new way forward?

‘Sully’ to be presented with Spreading Wings award Wings Over the Rockies to honor Sullenberger for 10th anniversary of Miracle on the Hudson STAFF REPORT

Wings Over the Rockies will honor Capt. “Sully” Sullenberger as its 2019 Spreading Wings award recipient.

- Sullenberger became internationally known on Jan. 15, 2009, when he and his crew safely guided US Airways Flight 1549 to an emergency water landing in New York City’s frigid Hudson River.

The Airbus A320’s two Sullenberger engines had lost thrust following a bird strike.

Sullenberger and his crew received international acclaim for their actions that day, including the passage of a Congressional resolution recognizing their bravery. Sullenberger was ranked second in TIME’s “Top 100

h

.

Most Influential Heroes and Icons of 2009” and was awarded the French Legion of Honour.

“Captain Sullenberger is the pinnacle of aviation excellence,” Wings Over the Rockies President and CEO Maj. Gen. John Barry, USAF (Ret), said in a news release. “His exceptional acts during Flight 1549, his leadership in transportation safety and a lifelong passion for flight are the cornerstones of aviation merit and we are thrilled to be honoring him with our annual award.”

The Spreading Wings Gala is planned for 6:30 p.m. Dec. 5 at Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum, Denver. The evening will feature a special presentation by Sullenberger, food and drinks, as well as a celebration of Wings Over the Rockies’ contributions to Colorado’s aerospace community.

“Wings Over the Rockies is an important part of shaping and encouraging the future aviators of our country,” Sullenberger said in the release.

“It is an honor to accept this award and support an organization so committed to educating and inspiring the next generation.”

cultural organizations,” explained Rachel Garcia, vice chair of the cultural center’s board. “We thought the event was a great way to build a bridge to other cultures.”

Día de los Muertos’ roots go back to ancient culture like the Aztecs and Maya, and has grown and developed over the years as Spain’s Catholicism was introduced to the population of Mexico and Latin America. It’s a day to honor lost loved ones with marigolds, offerings for the dead, sugar skulls and more.

The sold-out event was attended by people of all ages, including supporters of the cultural center, partner organizations, sponsors and those eager to learn more about Mexican culture and Día de los Muertos.

“This is a great experience for

building cultural awareness and understanding its history,” said Roger Cobb, community development representative with the City of Denver’s economic development and opportunity department. “Compassion and sensitivity are so important, especially when you think about what’s happening in the world.”

That worldwide perspective makes the work the cultural center does all the more necessary, explained Valles.

“The continued growth of the Latino population in Colorado and in the United States underscores the need to build understanding and cultural awareness among Latinos and nonLatinos,” she said. “For non-Latinos, it is imperative that we promote the many contributions of Latinos in the U.S. and specifically in Colorado as the means for building understanding and appreciation for the migration of Mexicanos and other Latinos across the Americas.”

Debunking myths about Financial Advisors I hate telling people what I do for a living. I know, that’s a strange statement. It seems putting a spin on tired titles is the thing to do these days to reinvent the wheel. We have Nelisha industry disrupters, Firestone online influencer’s, couples consciously uncoupling… I have failed to find a sexy way to say what it is I do. To be blunt- I am a Financial Planner and Advisor. I’m sure you already have a preconceived idea of what that means, which is why I hate telling people my profession. But your idea about what I do… it’s probably wrong.

This was reinforced for me when I was asked to speak to a business owner advisory board. After asking attendees what they wanted to hear, I was a bit surprised by the response.

They wanted to discuss the follow-

ing issues: • Brokers who want commissions vs looking out for their clients’ best interest • The lack of attention or analysis of individual goals • Not enough touch points for review throughout the year • Confusing shop talk and industry jargon • Lack of trust That led me to a question of my own: who are you all working with?

These questions seem to stem from a working relationship straight out of the Wolf of Wall Street movie. Unfortunately, for too many investors this is their experience.

In 2015 my industry was put on notice that the landscape was changing by way of the Fiduciary Rule proposed by the Obama administration. The rule was born out of the simple principal: You want to give financial advice, you’ve got to

put your client’s interests first. Makes sense, right? Seems like a no-brainer? But through many appeals, hearings, and delays, the fiduciary rule has yet to become law.

Even though not required, we choose to practice a fiduciary standard in our office which means we are morally obligated to put our clients’ best interest first. The investment advice you receive must be made using accurate and complete information.

We must disclose any conflicts of interest and use a “best execution” standard when trading your money.

This high standard also requires meeting with our clients at least once per year to review their portfolio and plan.

It is a high standard, but essential for anyone handling your money. If

your advisor is acting in a fiduciary capacity none of the concerns listed above should be on your mind. If they are- call me and we’ll talk.

LIFE

Be in the know to go Travel on I-70 west of the Denver metro area is the main focus for the new traction law because of the roadway’s dangerous driving conditions in winter weather. Here are numbers collected from October through December last year on I-70.

Number of times CDOT activated the traction law

Crashes Two plows make their way on C-470 in Highlands Ranch at about 1 p.m. during the Oct. 29 snowstorm. A new law now makes it illegal to pass working snowplows.

CHRISTY STEADMAN

Motorists should be aware of laws regarding traction, plows

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hile watching the snowfall can be relaxing and playing in it can be a lot of fun, driving in Colorado’s snowstorms can be less than desirable.

“We know it’s going to happen,” said Andrew Hogle, a public information officer with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the organization’s Winter Wise campaign.

“We’re going to get a snow event.”

There are two new laws Colorado drivers should be aware of when driving in snowy weather. One is the snowplow law, which affects all motorists statewide. It requires that drivers not pass working snowplows. The second is the passenger vehicle traction law, which primarily affects I-70 drivers — including ski resort destinations — west of the metro area.

Colorado’s traction law If winter weather driving conditions are bad enough, CDOT can implement an active traction law on any state highway. When active, there will be highway signage, or motorists can receive an alert by signing up through CDOT’s www.COtrip.org website.

When the traction law is active, it requires that all vehicles on state highways fit one of these categories: four-wheel/all-wheel drive; equipped with a traction device such as chains; or have snow tires or tires with mud and snow designation.

In addition, all tire tread must be at least 3/16 of an inch in depth.

“The deeper the tread, the better the

snow traction,” said John Tracey, owner of South Park Tire and Automotive Center in Littleton.

But that doesn’t mean everyone needs to replace their current snow tires to be able to get around this winter, Tracey said.

“Many tires are being thrown away before their lifespan,” Tracey added.

To make sure your tires aren’t being discarded before they’re worn, have them checked first to ensure they’re adequate for winter weather, Tracey said. Tires have a small notch, known as a wear bar, built in for selfchecking, Tracey said. But any tire shop can also measure the tread for those who are unfamiliar with doing it themselves and/or want an expert’s accuracy.

Tracey also recommends that everyone consult with a tire dealer to discuss what type of tire would meet their specific winter driving needs.

For example, Tracey services a lot of seniors who are retired, he said. They may only need a front-wheel-drive car with all-season tires, Tracey said, because they might be able to avoid driving in the snow and ice altogether by staying home during a storm and waiting until after the streets are plowed.

But on the other hand, there are skiand-snowboard enthusiasts who need to travel safely in the mountains every weekend.

“It would be crazy” and unsafe for them not to have their vehicle properly equipped for inclement weather, he said.

Additional precautions on I-70 CDOT states that “the I-70 mountain corridor is one of Colorado’s most highly traveled corridors … and the corridor is also frequently subject to dangerous winter weather driving conditions.”

This is why I-70 is being targeted for

the newest rules of Colorado’s traction law, Hogle said.

Beginning on Sept. 1 this year and continuing to May 31, 2020, the traction law will be active for all motorists traveling I-70 from Morrison to Dotsero.

This means that in this 126-mile stretch all winter, every vehicle must be traction law compliant as explained above, or be carrying chains, cables or an alternative traction device at all times.

“A single car spinout can cause a holdup for a couple hundred vehicles,” Hogle said. “We see accidents that could’ve been avoided happen all the time.”

If not compliant with the law, fines can range from $130 for just not being compliant — inadequate tread on snow tires and no alternate traction device, for example — to $650 if the non-compliancy caused a traffic event such as a crash.

Colorado State Patrol will be enforcing the law, Hogle said. For the first year, it will be a secondary offense, Hogle said, such as if you were pulled over for speeding and the state trooper found that the vehicle was additionally not in compliance with the law.

‘Bow to the Plow’ No matter what street you’re driving on, all motorists need to understand the new snowplow law. Being dubbed “Bow to the Plow,” it means simply: Don’t pass a working snowplow.

“If they’re out there doing their work,” Hogle said, “it means there’s icy and snowy conditions. A little patience goes a long way.”

If snowplows are not working, they’re just like any other vehicle, Hogle said, and it’s OK to pass them on the left. Drivers can recognize a working snowplow because its blue lights will be flashing, and often there will be two of them in tandem, Hogle said.

Spinouts or slideoffs

Mechanical issues

Hours of lane-blockage time these traffic/vehicle accidents caused “It may be an inconvenience” driving behind a slow-moving snowplow, Hogle said, “but a crash is a much worse inconvenience.”

Be smart: Plan ahead Other than knowing the laws, it’s “important to plan ahead and make sure your vehicle is ready for winter,” Hogle said.

CDOT has vehicle and safety checklists available for winter driving preparedness on its website.

A few of these include making sure windshield wipers, headlights and brakes are working properly, as well as having a flashlight and extra batteries; an extra set of warm clothes such as a coat, hat and mittens; water and non-perishable food; a first-aid kit; and jumper cables in case of an emergency.

“Hopefully you’ll never need them, but it’s better to be prepared,” Hogle said. “It’s not just mountain driving that can be hazardous. Be smart about being on the road.”

Come out into the sunlight — with Claude Monet DAM shows works of French impressionist who changed art world through long career

IF YOU GO “Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature” is exhibited at the Denver Art Museum through Feb. 2, 2020. Timed tickets cost an extra amount above regular entry fees.

See denverartmuseum.org or call 720-8655000 for information.

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A life-sized photo of a pleasantlooking man surrounded by flowers welcomes the visitor at the entrance to Denver Art Museum’s “Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature,” the major exhibit of more than 100 paintings by the French impressionist that opened Oct. 21 and will remain through the holidays until Feb. 2.

Clearly a don’t-miss for art lovers, this is an exhibit with works painted in many locations (Monet loved to travel) and in a palette that is bright and light — even in a snowy scene in wintry Norway. It speaks to anyone who can see it.

Monet loved any and all flowers and eventually designed and planted his own extensive garden at Giverny in northern France, the locale for many of those lovely paintings of water lilies we associate with him.

But this exhibit, organized with the new Museum Barberini, in Potsdam, Germany, also includes glimpses of the countryside, as well as towns, across Europe, such as “The Strada Romana at Bordighera,” 1884.

Angelica Daneo, the chief curator at the Denver Art Museum, speaks at a press event before the opening of Claude Monet: The Truth of Nature. Daneo and a team from the museum, as well as from Museum Barberini in Germany, helped to select the pieces by Monet for the exhibit.

KAILYN LAMB

“Claude Monet: the Truth of Nature” follows a long, successful and prolific career, from Monet’s first painting to be exhibited, at 18 — “View from Rouelles,” 1858 — to the darker “The House Seen Through the Roses,” 1926. Most are sunny, but he also loved fog, and the collection of works depicting London convey that love,

especially well.

Angelica Daneo, chief curator and curator of European Art before 1900, worked with DAM director Christoph Heinrich and the Barberini’s director, Ortrud Westheider, to assemble the works exhibited on the second floor of the Denver Art Museum.

Claude Monet was drawn to art before he reached his teen years and at 16, was mentored by Eugene Boudin and exhibited professionally while he studied. It was a time of change and resistance to it in the European art scene.

Paintings exhibited at the Denver Art Museum come from museums across the world, starting with the early “A View From Rouelles,” loaned

by Maruma Art Park in Japan, which urged that a work by his mentor, Boudin, also be shown. Loans from many sources include “Haystacks, Snow Effect” from the Shelburn Museum; “House Seen Through the Roses,” from the collection of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (“House of the Customs Officer”

Colorado Community Media, a full service media company is looking to add to our team.

1882) and “Path in the Wheat Fields,” 1882, from the Denver Arts Museum’s treasured half-dozen Monet paintings, bequeathed by Frederic C. Hamilton.

This will be the only showing in the United States.

As the exhibit’s title suggests, Monet, throughout his life, was tuned into the many moods and versions of nature and constantly sought out new experiences — in the garden, at the seaside, on country roads and in small towns and larger cities. How does the sunlight frame that old homestead today? Or that grove of trees or expanse of lilies? How does light filter through leaves — or reflect off surf at the sea’s edge?

Think, as you stroll slowly through the galleries, about the skill the painter exhibited in his choices of color and texture, the blending of brushstrokes, rendering of light and shadow … One can almost summon up sounds and scents with a focus on a given scene.

The installation of the Claude Monet paintings is greatly enhanced, I think, by the choice of deep, intense colors for the gallery walls: burgundy, deep blue, intense green …

The background color makes even a small, subtle painting pop! The viewer should understand how daring his approach to painting was in 19th-century Europe.

Food, fund drive aims to help veterans and their families Donations will be accepted through Veterans Day STAFF REPORT

A food and fund drive that aims to bring awareness to food insecurity among families of veterans and military members is collecting donations through Veterans Day. According to a news release, one in five households served by a local food bank has at least one member who has served or is now serving in the U.S. military. Food insecurity means lack of consistent access to enough food for an active, healthy life.

In the United States, food insecurity affects 1 in 8 people, according to the release. Food insecurity is a social determinant of health, which are conditions in people’s environments that can affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.

Last year, Humana partnered with Feeding America — the largest hunger-

relief organization in the United States — to stage a series of events that drove food donations and raised awareness of food insecurity with a focus on helping veterans. Food Bank of the Rockies is part of Feeding America’s network of food banks and has teamed up the Humana to partner for this year’s drive.

Nonperishable food will be collected through Nov. 11 at locations in the Denver area. In addition, monetary donations also are being accepted. Every $10 donation helps Food Bank of the Rockies provide 40 meals. Donations can be made at http://fbr.convio.net/goto/ humanafooddrive.

Food donations can be taken to: • Humana, 6300 S. Syracuse Way, Centennial • Morning Story Restaurant, 560 S. Holly St., Denver • Iora Primary Care locations in Arvada, 8175 N. Sheridan Blvd., Unit N; in Lakewood, 1692 Wadsworth Blvd.; and in south Jefferson County, 8246 W. Bowles Ave. For other locations, go to ioraprimarycare.com/practice-locator/

MONET FROM PAGE 11

A man listens to the audio tour, stopping at the first known painting by Monet. The Monet exhibit features works from the artist’s entire career.

KAILYN LAMB

“Throughout his career, Monet was indefatigable in his exploration of the different moods of nature, seeking to capture the spirit of a certain place and translating its truth onto the canvas,” Daneo commented.

The exhibit shows Monet’s eventual focus on certain subjects, such as haystacks, water lilies, bridges — as well as the eventual lack of humans in the scenes.

Through intense planning and precise choice of planting materials, Monet, an expert gardener, created the surroundings he wanted at Giverny and translated

them to canvas in his later years, working with as many as seven gardeners at one point.

The exhibit fills three large galleries — about 20,000 square feet — and invites leisurely strolling and turns for repeat visits to some works where a connection seems apparent. A visitor should allow time to stop, sit, stare and return to that garden again … which may be difficult, because tickets are selling out and there will be more people than would be ideal for a relaxed visit. Be sure to line up a ticket before you go — it’s sold out for the next few weeks!

In the spring, the exhibit will travel to the Museum Barberini. A large, colorful catalogue is available at the Denver Art Museum shop.
