Blueprint Denver was first adopted in 2002 to help the city plan for growth and new transportation. As part of the new Denveright initiative, which was announced by the city in August, Blueprint Denver has been updated to bring the city forward over the next 20 years. The plan estimates that Denver’s population will hit nearly 900,000 people by 2040. The plan is meant to help prepare for that growth strategically, with new developments centered around transit stations, Gaspers said.

Colorado’s new governor says he’s focused on saving familes money on health care coverage and being a leader for all people.

The night of Nov. 6, Jared Polis walked onstage at the Democrats’ watch party in downtown Denver as loudspeakers played Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changin’.”

“I pledge to serve all Coloradans — no matter your party, no matter where you live, no Polis matter your race or your gender,” Polis said in his acceptance speech at about 8 p.m., noting Stapleton had called to congratulate him.

Polis, of Boulder, defeated Republican Walker Stapleton, of Greenwood Village, by about 7 percentage points — 51.9 to 44.6 — according to unofficial results posted the afternoon of Nov. 7, nearly 24 hours after the polls closed on Election Day. Polis, who will replace fellow Democrat John Hickenlooper, who is

The growing keeps going As developers build for more people, residents wonder what density will mean

Denver is booming. The skyline is dotted with cranes assembling buildings that seemingly grow overnight.

And more people are coming in to fill those buildings. Over the last 10 years, more than 100,000 people have moved to Denver County, according to data from the city and state.

The growth of the city has some

residents concerned about density as developers eye projects that will add more people — and mostly likely more cars — to areas like Capitol Hill that already struggle with parking. New development also has the potential to take away historic buildings, which residents worry will diminish the character of Capitol Hill and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Growth in Denver In 2008, data from the state shows that the population of Denver County was 581,903. Now, the population of the city is sitting at around 705,000 people, estimated David Gaspers, a project manager for Blue-

Hickenlooper executive order targets youth vaping Teen use in Colorado is highest in nation

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

To address what state and health officials are calling an epidemic, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order outlining efforts to decrease the use of e-cigarettes and other vaping products among teens.

“What we are trying to do with this executive order is to beef up compliance checks for businesses,” Hickenlooper said at a Nov. 2 press conference at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

“It’s also going to require the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to begin conducting research between vaping and some of the other risky behaviors we see with our kids.”

The order doubles the number of compliance checks on businesses that sell vapor products and bans the use of vaping products in state buildings, Hickenlooper said.

He recommends the General Assembly pass legislation on existing tobacco policy, including raising the minimum sales age for tobacco and e-cigarrette products to 21 years old.

As part of the order, the Department of Public Health and Environment issued a statewide health advisory on vaping and nicotine addiction, and Hickenlooper proclaimed the month

Colorado leads the nation in the number of youth who use e-cigarettes and other vaping products, according to the most recent Behavioral Risk Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 25 percent of high school students use vapor products and more than 50 percent of high school students have tried vapor products. That’s twice the national average.

“Youth vaping, the percentage of kids vaping, is not a list we want to be at the top of,” Hickenlooper said. “But

we are.”

The use of vaping products has skyrocketed among youth nationwide, health officials say. The most popular product on the market is the Juul.

The discreet device resembles a black disk drive with a pod that contains as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, health officials say.

The pods come in flavors attractive to kids, such as cotton candy and mango. Juul Labs has faced several lawsuits, claiming the company targets youth with its marketing and falsely advertises.

Juul Labs supports Hickenlooper’s call to raise the purchasing age for e-cigarettes and vaping products to 21, according to Ted Kwong, a Juul Labs spokesman.

“Underage use is directly opposed to our mission of eliminating cigarettes by offering existing adult smokers a true alternative to combustible cigarettes,” Kwong said in an email correspondence. “While we believe flavors play an important role in helping adult smokers switch to vapor technology, we also support reasonable regulation to restrict advertising and naming of inappropriate flavors such as cotton candy and gummy bear that are directed at children.”

When young people consume nicotine in any form, their health and brain development are at risk, said Dr. Tista Ghosh, interim chief medical officer at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.

“Early research indicates kids who vape are more likely to later smoke cigarettes, a lethal habit,” said Ghosh, adding that vaping may be an indicator of other at-risk behaviors, such as binge drinking, marijuana use or use of prescription drugs.

To not address youth vaping, Hickenlooper said, would be “irresponsible.”

“I think it’s safe to say that the long term health of teens continues to be at high risk,” Hickenlooper said. “With teenagers, this is a seed that is getting planting and has the potential to lead to lifelong addictions to not just vaping, but to cigarettes.”

Building ties with the community Teresa Gillian said that becoming a police officer was her calling

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Five weeks before the 300-mile Tour de Force 9/11 Memorial Bike Ride in Washington, D.C. in 2017, Teresa Gillian had never ridden a bike more than 10 miles. The race benefits the families of police officers who lost their lives in the attacks on Sept. 11.

Although she had never done the race before, she helped friends raise money for the event before becomming a cop herself.

The deadline to register for the race had long passed, so when a friend asked if Gillian would join, she joked and said she would - if they could get her in.

They did.

Five weeks later Gillian completed the 300-mile trip from Washington, D.C. to New York City on a borrowed bike.

“My legs were just feeling like they were shutting down. It was such a deep ache, and I can’t explain it any other way,” she said. “But after the first day, the second day was easier, the third day was easier and the fourth

day you’re almost done.”

Now, Gillian said she has been converted into a bike rider. She did the race again this year and is on the waiting list to race in 2019.

Growing up near Durango, Gillian had always been athletic. She joked that at one point she wanted to be a jockey - before she grew past 5-feet tall that is. After that, she thought she might want to be a coach or a teacher, adding that she was always drawn to jobs where she could help people.

Gillian eventually went into personal training and wellness. She first moved to Denver 17 years ago to attend school for massage therapy.

She worked with athletes, and said she loved to work with people to better their lives.

Her father had been a fireman and police officer in her hometown.

Around six years ago she decided it was time to follow in his footsteps.

“I always had a deep appreciation for that role. There weren’t a lot of women in either job at all back home,” she said. “One day I just realized that was what I wanted to do and truly what I felt called to do.”

After working as a patrol officer in District 6, Gillian has come to know north Denver pretty well. District 6 currently covers East Sixth Avenue over to East 25th Avenue. On the east and west side is goes from York Street over to the South Platte River in some

Teresa Gillian joined the Denver Police Department two years ago. Last month, she started working as the community resource officer for District 6, which covers the north-central Denver area.

areas. While District 6 is one of the smaller areas geographically, it has one of the largest populations in the city, Gillian said.

Her love for helping people has transferred into her new role as a police officer. A month ago, Gillian became the community resource officer for District 6. She works with members of the community to help address

complaints. Resource officers can also act as liaisons between the residents and business owners of the community and the police officers working in that district.

“Any issues they have, if it’s important to them, it’s important to us,” she said. “It’s a lot more of building those relationships.”

Gillian has also worked with homeless youth to help mentor them and give them an opportunity to do fun, and sometimes silly activities like dancing. Participating in programs like that helps to “humanize the badge,” she said.

“You can be the voice for somebody who can’t speak up for themselves.”

Gillian said she enjoys getting out into the community and getting to know the people of Denver. She has learned a lot from long-term residents and business owners about how the city has grown and changed over the years, she added. While her new role as a community resource officer has meant spending more time connecting with people and addressing issues online, Gillian said it’s still important to her to get out and meet people.

“Sometimes just physically being there, you can come up with other ideas to help protect them and their environment,” she said. “You want to be responsive and you want to be on top of things.”

term-limited, becomes the first openly gay governor in the nation, and he touched on the status of sexual orientation and gender in his speech.

“We proved that no barrier should stand in the way of pursuing your dreams,” Polis said. “For the LGBTQ pioneers ... who endured so much hardship and hurt ... for all you’ve done to overcome, thank you.”

Stapleton announced on Twitter that he congratulated Polis at about 8 p.m. on Election Night.

“It is time for everyone to come together and work for the good of Colorado,” Stapleton said. “Thank you to everyone for your support throughout this campaign.”

Polis and Stapleton competed in a starkly polarized race that saw President Donald Trump cast a wide shadow. Pro- and anti-Trump undertones abounded in the campaigns’ messaging, but the candidates also drew sharp lines between each other on front-burner issues in the state, such as energy, immigration and transportation.

Polis has served as the U.S. representative for the 2nd Congressional District — including areas in Boulder, Clear Creek, Jefferson, Larimer and other counties — since 2009.

An entrepreneur who started internet efforts proflowers.com and bluemountain.com, Polis largely selffunded his campaign with about $22.8 million of the campaign’s $23.2 million total contributions, according to

Colorado Secretary of State data as of Oct. 29. Stapleton took in $3.9 million in contributions total as of that date, according to the data.

Stapleton, the current state treasurer, served as a CEO and chief financial officer in the private sector before taking office in 2011.

Polis’ win was part of what seemed to be a “blue wave” in Colorado, a state that saw Democrats win a number of high-profile offices.

State attorney general Democrat Phil Weiser, a professor and former dean at the University of Colorado Law School, defeated Republican George Brauchler in the race for state attorney general, 49.9 percent to 47.1 percent, according to results posted Nov. 7.

On Election Night, Weiser gave a speech that Weiser mentioned what he said were the “authentic relationships” he built across the state. He also touched on money put into negative ads during the campaign.

“What we proved in this election is that people win campaigns,” Weiser said. “Colorado will show our nation how democracy can work.”

Brauchler conceded the race the next morning, saying in a news release that he looks forward to working with Weiser and the state’s new leadership.

“This is a new era in Colorado politics,” Brauchler said. “I am proud of the job we did running a close race in a state that appears blue at this time.

As much as I am disappointed in the outcome, I am proud of our democratic system of self-government and to have been given the chance to compete for such an important office.”

Brauchler, of Parker, is the 18th Judicial District Attorney in the south

metro area. He pegged his opponent as wanting Washington to dictate to Colorado, while Weiser said Brauchler’s background readies him for only 10 percent of the state attorney general’s job.

Weiser, of Denver, commented on his opponent during his victory address.

“It takes a lot to step up and run,” Weiser said. “George had a different vision, and the voters got to choose.”

The attorney general is Colorado’s top legal official, known as the “people’s lawyer” who combats consumer scams, defends Colorado’s laws and protects its land, water and air, to name a few duties.

Brauchler painted Weiser as a partisan who aims to “link hands” with other activist attorneys general, while Weiser framed his campaign as a fight for people’s basic rights and business accountability.

Who could pull off the win had been an open question between Brauchler, a prosecutor who has cultivated a tough-on-crime image, and a professor with less name recognition who had the opportunity to ride a wave of antiTrump sentiment among Democrats.

State secretary of state Democratic challenger Jena Griswold unseated Secretary of State Wayne Williams, garnering 51.1 percent of the vote compared to Williams’ 46.5 percent.

Griswold began a victory speech by thanking Williams for “his years of service to our state,” going on to outline her Griswold priorities for the office, according to a news release.

“We must ensure that every single voter be heard — black or white, old or young, Republican, Democrat or Independent,” Griswold said. “Colorado

can start down this path by expanding automatic voter registration.”

Williams, of Colorado Springs, was running for a second term. Griswold, of Louisville, is a voter-protection attorney.

The Secretary of State’s Office oversees elections and business registration in the state, among other duties.

State treasurer Democrat Dave Young defeated Republican Brian Watson by about 4 percentage points — 50.8 to 46.6 — in the contest to replace Stapleton as treasurer.

Watson, of Denver, works in commercial real estate. Young, of Greeley, is the current representative for state House Young District 50 and a college instructor. District 50 includes the Greeley area.

The treasurer’s office invests Colorado’s tax dollars and helps get unclaimed property back to its lawful owners. The treasurer also serves on the board of the Public Employees’ Retirement Association, or PERA, the state’s public-employee pension program.

University of Colorado regent at large For the University of Colorado Board of Regents, Republican Ken Montera, a retired corporate executive, faced Democrat Lesley Smith, a CU scientist and educator, in the race for an at-large seat. Smith won the seat with 50.4 percent of the vote, compared to Montera’s 44.9 percent.

Voters reject 73, 112, transportation measures STAFF REPORT

Voters said “nay” on many of the state’s most contentious ballot issues on Nov. 6.

Here’s a look at some of those measures: • Nearly 55 percent of voters said no to Amendment 73. The amendment aimed to create new revenue for public education by instituting a graduated income tax increase on individuals earning more than $150,000 a year, and increasing the corporate income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 6.0 percent. The measure would also have fixed residential property tax rates at 7.0 percent, preventing them from falling further due to the Gallagher Amendment.

• A pair of transportation-funding measures were rejected. Both Proposition 109 and 110 saw about 60 percent of voters say no. Proposition 109 would have done so by allowing the state to borrow up to $3.5 billion with a total repayment of up to $5.2 million. Proposition 110 would have raised funds through a sales tax increase.

• About 56 percent of voters said

no to Proposition 112. The measure would have banned oil and gas developments within 2,500 feet of a private residence or high-occupancy structure. Many opponents said this would have cost the state thousands of jobs.

The following is a rundown of all the statewide ballot measures, with results posted as of the morning of Nov. 8.

Amendment Z Yes: 70.7 percent No: 29.3 percent

Amendment A Yes: 65.1 percent No: 34.9 percent

Amendment 75 Yes: 33.8 percent No: 66.2 percent

Voters reject statewide education funding measure Supporters are hopeful to spark ongoing conversations

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many educators across Colorado believe voters missed an opportunity to support students when they voted down Amendment 73, a constitutional amendment that would have instituted a graduated income tax increase on individuals earning more than $150,000 a year and increased the corporate income tax rate from 4.63 percent to 6 percent.

“The loss of Amendment 73 is heartbreaking,” said Angela Anderson, a social studies teacher at Bear Creek High School, part of Jefferson County Public Schools. “I feel like the voters in Colorado support our schools and education, but we can’t fund our schools on gratitude. My students are worth the investment, and I am determined to keep going in order for them to have a fully funded public education.”

Members of the Douglas County Federation of Teachers, the teachers’ union, felt the same way.

“Colorado has chronically underfunded our schools even as we have a strong economy,” said Kallie Leyba, president of the federation. “We are

at what voters told us.”

Ewert said leaders need to think about what part of the tax policy was objectionable, what a tax policy should look like and who should be at the table to discuss it.

“Amendments that include tax increases are difficult to pass,” he said.

“Hopefully, this will send a message to the entire state to advocate for public education.”

Jack Reutzel, Littleton Public Schools Board of Education president, is hopeful that the Democrats’ push in the state Legislature will allow for more talks about increasing statewide education funding in the future.

“With the change in the makeup of the state Legislature, we think we’re going to have a sympathetic ear for K-12 education at the state House,” Reutzel said.

Those sentiments are shared by Lisa Weil, executive director of Great Education Colorado, part of the coalition that supported 73.

“This conversation, and the effort for equitable funding for Colorado schools, will continue, as will the broad-based coalition that came together to help our schools, kids and teachers,” Weil said. “Together, we’ve changed the conversation and established that school funding is in crisis in Colorado. We’ve addressed it at the grassroots level, we’ve made our voices heard and we expect our public officials to listen and to come together on solutions.”

Democrats take state Senate, grow House lead As Dems take several state offices, power shifts in Legislature

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The much-mentioned “blue wave” broke on the state Capitol on Nov. 6, sending the Democrats a three-seat advantage in the 35-member state Senate and more power in the state House.

Nineteen Democrats will serve in the Senate when the 2019 legislative session begins in January, including Tammy Story in Jefferson County, current state House Rep. Jessie Danielson in Jefferson County and current Rep. Faith Winter in Adams County, according to a news release from the Senate Democrats. Those seats were previously held by Republicans or an Independent.

“Every Coloradan, whether you are a Democrat, Independent or Republican, has reason to celebrate,” state Sen. Leroy Garcia said in the release.

Voters “have elected leaders who will stand up for our children, for our environment and for the health, safety and prosperity of every Coloradan.”

Current Senate President Kevin Grantham, a Republican from Cañon City, congratulated the new governorelect, Democrat Jared Polis, and other lawmakers who won races in the Nov. 6 election in a statement Nov. 7.

“It’s never fun losing races or being in the political minority,” Grantham said. “But because Colorado remains at heart a centrist state, where common-sense economic and fiscal values still hold great sway, Republicans still have a critical role to play at the Statehouse, by ensuring that

a diversity of views are heard and serving as a check on the excesses we might see if Democrats see their advantage as an opportunity to run wild.”

In the state House, Democrats expanded their majority, declaring victory in three seats previously held

by Republicans, according to a Nov. 7 news release by House Democrats.

Lisa Cutter in Jefferson County, Kyle Mullica in Adams County and Tom Sullivan in Arapahoe County took those spots. Sullivan unseated incumbent Republican Rep. Cole Wist in House District 37, a Republican stronghold in Centennial and nearby areas.

“We were successful tonight because we listened to the hopes and concerns of voters (at their) doors, at their kitchen tables and in their communities,” House Majority Leader KC Becker, D-Boulder, said in the release. “Now, it’s time to work together to put the values of hardworking Coloradans into action.”

With results still coming in that morning, the 65-member House looked likely to hold at least 38 Democrats, and with four close races at that time, the number could rise to 42, the release said.

Colorado’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program will kick off the 2018-19 season with a new online application process for individuals and families needing heating assistance.

Enrollment for the 2018-19 program started Nov. 1 and continues through April 30.

“With the new online application process, individuals can apply from any device, or they can still visit one of our county locations,” Theresa Kullen, LEAP manager, said in a news release.

“We believe everyone who needs assistance is going to find this is easier, takes less time and overall the whole process is more efficient.”

Applications can be accessed through LEAP’s website at www. colorado.gov/cdhs/LEAP, which links to the state’s CO PEAK system for online application, which consolidates resources in one easy-to-use location.

For program eligibility, candidates must pay home heating costs directly to a utility company or landlord as part of their rent, be a permanent

legal resident of the United States and Colorado or have a legal U.S. citizen in the household. A family household income cannot surpass 165 percent of the federal poverty index.

If approved, LEAP payments are usually made directly to the primary heating vendor and a notice is sent to individuals regarding the benefit amount. Last year, approximately 65,000 applications were approved with assistance averaging $337 to $674 across the state.

Other benefits provided by the program include repair or replacement of a home’s primary heating system. To determine the monthly income eligibility according to the household size, visit www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdhs/ program-eligibility.

LEAP is a federally-funded program that helps Coloradans pay a portion of home heating costs during the winter.

“For those not comfortable with online processes, applications can still be faxed, mailed or delivered to the appropriate county/contractor LEAP office,” Kullen said.

VOICES Holiday bludgeon can lead to high dudgeon

I

t is the first of November. I am braced for what is about to happen, against my wishes and against my will.

My belief is that it comes earlier every year as an antidote to reality, as a form of comfort food in the face of the news that, day after day, is harsh and abrasive on our delicate systems, especially mine.

This will be Harry’s first true Christmas. I’ve warned him.

To give you an example: the Hallmark Channel began its uninterrupted Christmas movie marathon last month.

Home shopping channels have had holiday-themed must-haves since September.

Now that Halloween is behind us, and with only Thanksgiving on the horizon, which involves no history of gift exchanges or baleful music, the coast is clear for merchants. mostly, to take over where exasperating political campaigns left off, and inundate every corner with solicitations.

And holiday music. Some of it con-

W

Since 1926

If you want to hear Andy Williams around every corner, so be it. Even my beloved classical music station will turn on me soon.

If this sounds like Scrooge is afoot, he’s not. Am I a curmudgeon? Yes. Am I a wet blanket? Possibly.

My adage is this, tried and true: “There’s a time and place for everything.”

Understandably, when it comes to money, the lines of distinction are blurred, and what started as a religious holiday has turned into a greedy realm of merchandising, with a playlist that includes Gene Autry and Jimmy Boyd.

Boyd’s recording of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” was recorded in 1952 when he was only 13.

The record was condemned by the Roman Catholic Church in Boston.

Because it combined kissing with Christmas.

Oh, brother.

Boyd traveled to Boston, met with the Archdiocese, and the ban was lifted.

Whatever subtlety there was in any design, in any event, in any produc-

tion, is gone.

There is hoopla instead. A football team might enter the field through manufactured fog and fireworks.

There is even a Red Carpet in front of an award for Best Supporting Actor Supporting a Supporting Actor.

There is so much rancor in America right now, and daily events that depress the heart and soul, that relief of any kind is understandable.

However, the bombardment, attending to a majority perception, only adds to the dismay.

Once upon a time, I drank my way through this time of year, and came out of it on the other side. Others do the same. Rehab enrollment spikes in January.

There is a great consolation prize: My favorite author wrote something I read every late December, with unsurpassed character and setting depictions.

Dickens.

Getting in the true spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday

ith the Thanksgiving holiday only a couple of weeks away, it is probably time to start thinking about all of the people in our lives who we are so grateful for and who we appreciate so very much. And maybe we should start thinking about all the other areas of our lives where we can show gratitude as well, after all, it is that time of the year isn’t it?

And we know that the question will be coming, someone will ask us what we are thankful for, so why not think about it right now and be prepared as much as possible?

Now some of us will say that we don’t need any extra time to prepare as we already know who and what we are so thankful for. Our attitude of gratitude shows in all that we say and do and it shows all year round too, not just at Thanksgiving. Awesome. Others of us will realize that although we think we demonstrate our gratitude and appreciation, we probably still have a little more work to do in this area. And then there are those of us who will be asked the question, “What are you giving thanks for this year?” and the blank look on

ducted by chipmunks.

What was once a week, two at the most, of observation and anticipation, has become a quarter of the annum, and God forbid (he said) that you are an atheist, or someone QUIET who simply prefers to DESPERATION contemplate certain things very privately.

No. My grocery emporium is loading up with absolutely appalling décor, and I am counting the days until the already awful music is replaced by seasonal music, most of it sounding Craig Marshall like an anesthetic.

Some people like it.

The majority gets its wish.

But there is one (at least) in every crowd, and I am that one.

There is no subtlety left anywhere.

This is not the United Zen of America.

our faces and our mumbled reply will hopefully become muted in the call for anyone wanting more pumpkin pie.

Regardless of which group you may consider yourself a part of, or whether you fall somewhere in between, the reminder here is that it is never too early to celebrate the spirit of Thanksgiving.

WINNING As a matter of fact, WORDS we can probably all relate to witnessing ingratitude or seeing a lack of appreciation at some point in recent days or weeks.

In last week’s column I talked about how trust was being eroded and the damage Michael Norton that it is causing in so many areas of our lives. And if trust is so very important to a healthy relationship, having an attitude of gratitude is its close cousin.

Let’s think about this for a minute, we are already seeing and hearing advertisements for the upcoming Christmas season, aren’t we? They actually started a couple of weeks ago or more. So hope-

fully a gentle reminder to start to get our hearts and heads around the spirit of Thanksgiving a couple of weeks in advance is acceptable. Again, many of us live with the gratitude and appreciation all year and Thanksgiving is just one more day where we get to share our thankfulness with others. For some of us, it is even our favorite holiday.

Last year, one of our readers had initially taken a little exception with a column I had written about gratitude.

He had recently lost his spouse, and he was also diagnosed with an illness.

He shared with me that he chose not to send me the email he had written, but he kept it in his draft messages. After he read it a few times and made some edits and changes, he found himself changing the tone and meaning of his message completely. You see, he initially was angry and upset and was going to send me a message that was not very nice. But as he read his own words, and thought about it more and more, he started thinking about all of the people who stood by him during his wife’s illness. He thought about his family and friends that were taking care of him now, and he thought about

the incredible job he held for more than 30 years and how proud he was of his accomplishments and all the people that contributed to his success. His gratitude bucket was filling up.

The title of this column comes from his words in the email he sent to me. In the subject line were these words, “The Spirit of Thanksgiving.” He encouraged me to never stop beating the drum of gratitude and appreciation, because, “Some of us get so focused on ourselves and our own problems, that we have forgotten all of the things we have been blessed with throughout our lives.”

So how about you? Are you someone who lives all year round with an attitude of gratitude, or could you use a little earlier reminder about what you are truly thankful for? Either way I really would love to hear your gratitude story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can live with a “Spirit of Thanksgiving” it really will be a better than good life.

GROWING

DENSITY AND POLICING Added density in east central Denver adds to the work of the Denver Police Department (DPD), which manages not only crime in the area, but parking as well. Officers are responsible for checking parking regularly.

FROM PAGE 1

Around 49,000 people live in the east central area of Denver, which includes the Capitol Hill, Uptown, City Park, City Park West, Cheesman Park and Congress Park neighborhoods. While this seems like a lot, a city planning document for the area shows that the neighborhoods hover between 0-7 people per acre in areas like City Park, and 35-41 people per acre in the denser sneighborhood of Capitol Hill.

Historically, these neighborhoods sat at peak density in the 1950s when the population was 49-55 people per acre in Capitol Hill and Uptown, the document shows.

The populations decreased as many people started moving toward the suburbs in the 1970s, Gaspers said. In the 1990s, those numbers started to slowly tick back up again. Although the density was higher, residents of Capitol Hill didn’t have quite the same struggle with issues like parking that they do today, Gaspers said.

Part of that is because the Denver of 1950 had more of a focus on mass transportation, such as the streetcar system.

“So the density worked because the transportation system was built for that,” he said. “The transportation network hasn’t always kept up with the additional population.”

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) has been focusing on building light rail systems out into the Denver metro area, and the city itself has fallen behind. This is something that Denveright and the Blueprint Denver plans hope to address, Gaspers said.

The number of people in the area may be smaller than the days of Capitol Hill’s past, but several of the residdents are feeling the pinch of density, speaking out at city outreach meetings for potential redevelopments.

Barbara Steely has lived in Capitol Hill with her husband since 2012. They live in a historic home and attended a meeting for a potential rezoning of the plot of land at 900 E. 11th Ave. which was formerly a Whole Foods. Steely had concerns about adding large developments, saying they would ruin the character of the area.

“I feel that Capitol Hill is already dense. Just because things aren’t 10 stories tall doesn’t mean they’re not dense,” Steely said. “The context of the neighborhood is not some big mega development.”

Incoming developments Several projects are already underway in east central Denver, including buildings at Speer Boulevard and East 14th Avenue, East 12th Avenue and Grant Street and on East Seventh Avenue and Logan Street. Two new projects in Capitol Hill recently did community outreach on potential hrezonings with the city and local residents.

One project is hoping to rezone sev. eral parking lots on Sherman Street from Colfax Avenue over to East 20th Avenue. The project will be mixeduse, with retail and residential in the building, which is proposed for the corner of East 16th Avenue and Sher-

There are pros and cons to having more density, said Aaron Sanchez, a commander with District 6 of the DPD. A denser and more centralized district means that police can often respond to crimes faster. It also means that officers can use different methods of patrolling, such as bicycles, Sanchez said.

“It gives us the opportunity to do some different kinds of policing,” he said.

Doug Antonoff held a public meeting with residents of Capitol Hill to see if there was any interest in rezoning the Whole Foods building he owns on East 11th Avenue. The store closed last year, but still holds a lease on the building.

man Street. Some of those residences are planned to be affordable units.

Tryba Architects, which helped with the design process of the development held a community outreach meeting with residents on Sept. 11.

David Tryba said during the meeting that a rezoning for this project will help bring some consistency into an area that currently has five different kinds of zoning.

Tryba Architects did not respond to a request for comment on the project.

The second community outreach meeting was for the Whole Foods space, which drew nearly 100 people, including the Steeleys, on Oct. 9.

Doug Antonoff, whose family owns the building, is sitting between a rock and a hard place. Whole Foods still holds a lease on the building, but currently has no plans to use the space after its store there closed last November, Antonoff said. With no future plans, the building runs the risk of being empty for the next 13 years until the store’s lease expires.

“There’s no question that that is bad for everybody,” Antonoff said.

Whole Foods did not respond to a request for comment on the building.

So Antonoff decided to reach out to the community. His hope is that if he can get enough community support behind a redevelopment project, he can present those plans to Whole Foods as leverage to do something with the space. The idea he presented at the community meeting was to rezone the 1.3-acre spot to allow for five stories, with the bottom floor for retail and the rest for residential units.

“I think certainly this is a major property in the neighborhood,” he said. “We didn’t want to start the process and just pretend that the neighbors didn’t have any stake in the game.”

The meeting brought in mixed results, with some members of the community applauding Antonoff for his efforts to bring residents into the planning process.

Others, like Barbara Steely, thought that redevelopment could be accomplished without rezoning and adding the extra floors.

Weighing the benefits Overall, Steely is not against adding density to the area, she just hopes that

But there are problems too. The east central area of Denver not only has a lot of residents, but it also has a high concentration of bars, Sanchez said. While its good that more people are starting to use ride-share companies such as Uber instead of driving drunk, Sanchez said, there’s also the logistics of where those cars go in order to not block traffic.

Sanchez said that District 6 officers have been working with other districts that have seen similar density increases in order to see what was done well and what could have been done differently.

District 6 currently covers East Sixth Avenue over to East 25th Avenue. On the east and west sides it goes from York Street over to the South Platte River in some areas.

The Whole Foods property at 900 E. 11th Ave. has been vacant for one year. Doug Antonoff, who owns the building, has been doing outreach to the community to see what people may be interested in putting there.

KAILYN LAMB developers are conscientious of the historic fabric of the neighborhoods.

“I don’t think there’s an adversity to density necessarily,” she said.

She fears that ignoring historic buildings is a “slippery slope” when new developments come in. She added that she appreciates projects that keep historical components buildings, such as a recent development on East 13th Avenue and Ogden Street. The project kept the outer shell of the building and reconstructed the inside.

Developers that keep the historic shells of buildings are only one benefit to added density. Curt Upton, a principal planner with the city of Denver said that denser areas tend to attract more businesses. Many people love the Capitol Hill area because they are able to walk to their favorite retail spots and restaurants, Upton said.

More apartments also can help level out the market as far as rent costs.

“What that increase in demand recently has brought is a rise in rents,” Upton said. “With additional residen-

David Gaspers, a project manager with Blueprint Denver, said the city also does planning by individual neighborhoods.

It may not happen immediately, but over time that will have an effect on moderating prices.”

Eating vegan for the

season

Options for dining out — or in — during holidays

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ason Miller grew up in a small mountain town on the Western Slope of Colorado and in an agricultural community in Montana. He often hunted with his father, a taxidermist. They ate venison nearly every day.

When he was 19, Miller started to question his lifestyle.

“Most of that meat I saw killed and even participated in the hunt,” Miller, now a Littleton resident, said. “At a certain point, it started to add up on me.”

That year, Miller, now 47, became a vegetarian. A year later, for the welfare of all animals, he switched to a vegan diet. The diet is referred to by many health organizations as the strictest form of vegetarianism.

Vegans abstain from all animal-based products — meat, eggs and dairy.

Some reject wool and leather products.

Around the corner is the holiday season. The time of year typically involves celebrating with friends and family, indulging in rich roasts and decadent,

VEGAN RECIPES TO TRY

Gravy Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: 1/4 cup canola oil, 1/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup vegetable broth, 3 tablespoons tamari sauce, 2 cups soy milk, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, ground black pepper to taste.

Directions: Heat the canola oil in a skil-

A feast of vegan food.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? Vegan: a plant-based diet that excludes all animal-derived ingredients, such as meat, eggs and dairy products.

Vegetarian: a meat-free diet that excludes any meat, poultry, game, fish, shellfish, or by-products of animal slaughter.

Pescatarian: a diet that excludes meat or poultry but allows the consumption of fish.

Source: healthline.com dairy-filled deserts — items that are not on a vegan’s list of things to eat.

But with the right amount of planning and communication, vegans like Miller make it work.

Plan ahead For people on a vegan diet, planning ahead is key, said Cynthia Dormer, a registered dietitian and assistant professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

“Plan ahead what your meal is going to be,” Dormer said. “Find things that you really enjoy and that are special to you so that you can enjoy the holiday.”

That’s easy for Miller, who buys meat and dairy substitutes at the local grocery store. His favorite during the holiday season is a tofu “tofurkey” breast with stuffing inside. For dessert, his freezer is stocked with

let over medium heat. Whisk flour, vegetable broth and tamari into the hot oil. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until there are no lumps and the mixture becomes paste-like.

Pour the soy milk into the skillet. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

Add yeast and black pepper, stir.

Mashed potatoes Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 35 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients: 2 pounds russet potatoes, 8 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed, 1 sprig fresh rosemary, 1 sprig fresh thyme, 1/4 cup olive oil, a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Directions: Place potatoes, garlic, rosemary, and thyme in a large

vegan ice cream, which is typically made with a coconut or almond milk substitute.

“There are so many options now,” Miller said. “There’s always some central dish that you can have.”

Vegans looking to dine out have options.

On Thanksgiving Day from noon to 7 p.m., Native Foods Café, 680 S. Colorado Blvd., Denver, will offer a buffet special with all-vegan options.

Menu items are a plant-based roast, shepherd’s pie, apple-cider braised Brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes and gravy, among other holiday favorites.

Adults pay $29.99, kids 12 and under cost $14.99 and children under 2 are free.

Whole Foods offers a catering menu with vegan-only items and recipes. The main dish is a Thanksgiving Risotto with cranberries, pumpkin, greens and fresh seasonal herbs. Sides include coconut-roasted sweet potatoes and creamy broccoli-cauliflower soap, among others. Whole Foods has locations across the Denver metro area.

Don’t let food get in the way While delicious meals add to the magic of the holiday season, the real joy is in the time spent with family and friends. Dormer encourages people to

pot, cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook covered for about 30 minutes, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife.

Drain, but keep 1 cup of cooking water. Transfer the potatoes and garlic to a bowl, and dispose rosemary and thyme.

Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher and add cooking water to reach desired consistency.

communicate early and not let diets or W restrictions ruin a celebration.

“Vegan people can sometimes have a self-righteous attitude, and certainly they are right in the sense that their approach is more environment- and animal-friendly,” Dormer said. “But if the people around them feel judged for eating their favorite food, that can cause some conflict.”

In Miller’s experience, many people M view eating vegan as too challenging and expensive.

“It’s a matter of finding the right replacements and I can guarantee all of those things are out there,” Miller said. “It’s so doable.”

Scott Spears hopes to make it easier for meat eaters and vegans to dine E together in the future.

He is behind Arvada’s first vegan, plant-based eatery that will also have protein add-ons on the menu. His restaurant, All Raddish, is expected to open in early 2019 across the street from School House Kitchen and Libations, 5660 Olde Wadsworth Blvd., which he also owns.

“It’s really hard to go out and eat,” Spears, a vegetarian, said of eating vegan.

“Strictly vegan restaurants do a great job, but there aren’t a lot of them.”

Meringues Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 1 1/2 hours Servings: 25 Ingredients: 1 15-ounce can of chickpeas, 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 3/4 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional).

Directions: Preheat oven to 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment paper. Drain chickpeas and save 1/2 cup of liquid from the can. Pour chickpea liquid into a bowl and add the cream of tartar. Beat mix-

ture using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, as you continually beat until glossy peaks form, about 20 minutes; beat in vanilla extract until well incorporated. Spoon mixture into a piping bag and pipe into small circles, about 1 inch in diameter, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Bake for about 90 minutes, until the meringues are firm and come away easily from the parchment paper.

Remove from the oven and allow at least 15 minutes to cool.

A culinary exploration of Denver’s history How the Gold Rush helped shape the city’s restaurant scene

‘Denver’s culinary scene is a bit of a sleeper.’

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not everyone can say they achieved a dream they had while in high school. But local wine expert and blogger Simone FM Spinner did just that with the publication of her first book, “Denver Food: A Culinary Evolution.”

“Becoming a published book author has been a goal since I was 15 years old — and I finally did it,” she said. “I love food, cooking and dining out. Working in the wine industry, I have always been lucky to dine out frequently as a part of my work, often in the latest, hottest, most interesting restaurants in the city.”

In her book, Simone explores how German, Japanese, Chinese and Italian immigrants made their way to Colorado as part of the Gold Rush.

Soon they were opening up saloons, which later turned into a booming restaurant industry.

However, all the recent growth in metro area is causing some of the city’s most unique and historic locations to shut down — a trend that partly inspired Simone to start writing.

“My book is essentially a love letter to the city that I fell in love with, which doesn’t really exist anymore,” she explained. “Yet, it is also a glimpse of the future and of the amazing things that are happening

Simone FM Spinner, Local wine expert and blogger

right now in Denver.”

There’s a lot to know about the culinary scene in Denver, and Simone hopes readers come away understanding there’s a lot of collaboration and community between chefs.

She also wants readers to know the Denver culinary community is actively doing its part to stave off waste, food insecurity and hunger — in their restaurants and communities.

Most importantly, Simone wants readers to understand how many great tastes and flavors there are to explore right at their fingertips.

“Denver has long been ignored by food writers, influencers and critics. People assume that Denver is just about steaks, Mexican food and novelty food,” she said. “Denver’s culinary scene is a bit of a sleeper.

There is so much truly great food in this city and people should get out and explore a little bit. I really appreciate the immense culinary diversity in Denver.”
