Ordinance eases rules on outdoor drinking Council OKs change that will allow customers to roam in defined areas

or working. The organization also provides different life-skills classes and childcare, in the hopes of getting people back on their feet to avoid homelessness.

After getting her GED three years ago, Helmig moved into Warren Village with her 1-year-old daughter Jayda. She’s lived there ever since, completing an associate’s degree to become a physical therapy assistant.

Now, she’s decided to continue her schooling to become a neurologist and neurosurgeon.

“When I came here I had no confidence, and didn’t feel safe in the world with people,” Helmig said.

Everyone knows Denver doesn’t have enough places to drink and a new law might chip away at the reputation.

Everyone probably also knows the above sentence was an attempted joke — except for the new law part.

Businesses can now get permits that let people drink in public, adjacent to their storefronts.

The Denver City Council unanimously approved the “common consumption” ordinance Nov. 12.

Here’s how it works: A string of businesses (at least two) with liquor licenses will apply for a permit that lets drinkers roam freely in defined areas.

For example, the businesses along that fancy alley at Dairy Block in LoDo could essentially create an open-air bar where people can get a to-go drink and walk in and out of establishments — shops but not other bars — within the district’s boundaries.

The rules could be a boon for businesses without rooftop patios who want to offer an outdoor experience,

Homeless and invisible Women, youths often face additional hardships while living on the street

For Jami Helmig, a resource like Warren Village provided her with more than just housing — it gave her the confidence to be herself again.

Helmig first heard about Warren Village when she was pregnant with her daughter. She was seeing a therapist for childhood trauma as well as post-traumatic stress disorder from

sexual assault. Although she was living with her parents at the time, it was not ideal. She, her sister and parents shared a small apartment and with a baby on the way, Helmig decided she needed a space of her own.

“I was lucky enough to have had somewhere to be,” she said. But as a massage therapist living with her family, Helmig realized that the path she was taking would not sustain her and her young daughter in the long term.

Warren Village is one of the many nonprofits in Denver that helps provide resources and housing. Single parents can live in the Warren Village building while attending school

Paralympians part of wheelchair rugby team Denver Harlequins play fast and hard in physical sport

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton resident Jason Regier was driving his way back to Corvallis, Oregon in 1996 where he played soccer for Oregon State University. When he was driving his Jeep about 75 mph, he reached down to change the radio station in his vehicle. Next thing he knew, his Jeep rolled over three times — leaving him paralyzed.

“Just like that, in a split second, life changes,” said Regier.

During rehabilitation at Craig Hospital in Englewood, Regier was introduced to wheelchair rugby. Regier’s passion for the game grew and led to him medaling three times with the USA Wheelchair Rugby team, with his most recent medal coming from the 2016 Summer Paralympics.

As Regier prepares to coach the Denmark Wheelchair Rugby team in the 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo, he is spending time in Lakewood at the Charles Whitlock Recreation Center each week, where he coaches the Denver Harlequins wheelchair rugby team.

The Harlequins, who practice at the Charles Whitlock Recreation Center, are made up of 16 players who all have a different story about why they are in a wheelchair. Nonetheless, the team competes in a fast-paced, hard-hitting, high-scoring sport. Wheelchair rugby is played on something similar to a basketball court, and it involves four players on each team who are ramming their wheelchairs into each other, trying to stop the opposing team from scoring.

“You have some of the most severely impaired individuals that play the fastest, hardest-hitting game. It grabs people’s attention,” said Regier after he got done barking instructions for a drill for his team to run at a Nov. 7 practice. “It’s high-level, and (wheelchair rugby has) an amazing amount of strategy and athleticism. Just like the Olympics, you get world-class athletes.”

Practices for the Harlequins look like this: Players participate in drills and scrimmages, as well as conditioning exercises for matches by wheeling their chairs up and down a gym floor for minutes.

The Harlequins are full of players who compete for the USA Wheelchair Rugby team, including Adam Scaturro

Aoki started using a wheelchair when he was 9, and has been part of the USA Wheelchair Rugby team since 2009.

“It’s been an incredible ride. I’m just trending in the right direction, and we’re hopefully going to go get gold in Tokyo,” said Aoki. “Rugby is physical, it’s hard-hitting, it’s intense, and it’s passionate. It’s the most exciting Paralympic sport out there.”

Aoki’s teammate Newby broke his neck in 2006 the night of his high school graduation in a car accident.

While he was in rehab, he met the coach of the St. Louis Spartans wheelchair rugby team. Three weeks after that meeting, he got in a chair and hasn’t stopped playing wheelchair ruby since. Newby has been part of

the USA Wheelchair Rugby team since 2012 and joined the Harlequins in 2016.

“Rugby was my new outlet, and my new thing to focus on and work toward. It was helping me get stronger in everyday life,” said Newby. “I encourage people to not sit at home.

That’s the worst thing you can do for yourself — just find your passion.”

In February, the Harlequins won their second straight Tampa International Wheelchair Rugby Tournament. The USA Wheelchair Rugby team earned a gold medal after a victory against Canada in the 2019 Parapan American Games in Lima over the summer. The victory secured a spot for the team in the 2020 Summer Paralympics. “(Wheelchair rugby) is one of the coolest sports most people have never seen. I think the games coming up in Tokyo will be of the highest levels of competitions put on,” said Regier.

In Colorado, 24 high-hazard dams are seen as problematic Jeffco, Denver structures among those with risk of deadly failure

BY MATT VOLZ ASSOCIATED PRESS

Two dozen aging dams in Colorado were in unsatisfactory condition and are located in places where their failure would likely kill at least one person, according to an Associated Press investigation that found at least 1,688 such dams nationwide.

The 24 Colorado dams range in age from 41 to 127 years old and are used for irrigation, recreation and drinking water supply, according to public records obtained by the AP during the more than two-year investigation.

They are spread among 16 counties, with El Paso having four, Jefferson three and Mesa and Park counties having two each.

Records show the dams are upto-date with their inspections, and all have emergency action plans in case of a failure. In addition, work is underway or planned for some of the dams, and at least one in El Paso County, South Lake Dam, has been repaired, said Bill McCormick, chief of Colorado Dam Safety at the state Division of Water Resources.

Twenty-one of the 24 Colorado

dams are privately owned or owned by local governments, and the decision to fix a dam is the owner’s, McCormick said. State regulators can order a reservoir’s water level lowered to a safe level if a dam is in unsatisfactory condition or drain the reservoir if there is no safe level.

“If owners can live with less than full storage, they may not have the incentive to fix their dam,” he said in an email to the AP. “We try to incentivize owners to fix their dams, but the decision is theirs. “ One of the 24 dams is at Smith Reservoir in Lakewood. Officials are restricting the amount of water in the reservoir because of high seepage when the water level is within 2 feet of the spillway, according to a 2018 inspection report.

Engineers’ models show that if the privately owned dam failed, water from the Smith Reservoir would flow east seven miles through residential and industrial areas until it reached the South Platte River, according to a 2017 emergency action plan.

There are a few other dams in and around the Denver metro area. Skeel Dam is located in Denver just north of Cherry Hills Village, near the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Hampden Avenue. It is considered a high-hazard dam in unsatisfactory condition. It was constructed in 1900, and was last inspected in February 2018.

Upper Long Lake Dam is located near Highway 93, north of Golden and just west of the Ralston Water Treatment Plant that serves Arvada.

It is rated as a high-hazard dam in unsatisfactory condition. It was constructed in 1939, and was last inspected in May 2018.

In September, the Federal Emergency Management Agency awarded Colorado more than $260,000 to conduct risk assessments and repair high-hazard dams, the term used to describe a structure whose failure would likely result in at least one death.

Officials plan to put part of that money toward designing a fix for the leaking area at the Smith Reservoir Dam, McCormick said.

Since 1950, there have been six major dam failures in Colorado, according to a 2018 Colorado State Hazard Mitigation Plan. They include the 1982 Lawn Lake Dam failure in Larimer County that killed four people and caused $31 million in property damage.

With Colorado’s growing population, more people moving into downstream communities will be exposed to potential dam failure. State officials said in the hazard mitigation plan that El Paso and Larimer’s exposure will be considered “extreme “ with projected population increases of 36% and 42%, respectively, between 2010 and 2030.

State officials have identified 24 high-hazard dams in El Paso County, and those that the AP investigation found are in unsatisfactory condition are the South Lake, Teller, Valley No. 1 and Valley No. 2 dams.

There are 54 high-hazard dams in Larimer County, but none were listed in unsatisfactory condition as of 2018, according to the AP investigation.

The 24 Colorado dams were identified in a two-year investigation by the AP in which it found at least 1,680 dams nationwide rated as high-hazard and considered to be in poor or unsatisfactory condition.

Emergency plans obtained by the AP indicate that thousands of people living and working downstream could be at risk if those dams were to catastrophically fail, while separate inspection reports cite a variety of problems. Those include leaks that can indicate a dam is failing internally, unrepaired erosion, holes from burrowing animals and extensive tree growth, which can destabilize earthen dams. In some cases, inspectors also flagged spillways that are too small to handle the amount of water that could result from increasingly intense rainstorms due to a changing climate.

The AP’s investigation covers the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico but excludes five states that did not fully comply with records requests.

Denver Film Festival encourages wide-eyed viewing Five films not to be missed

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

With all the streaming services out there, and all the devices capable of becoming a movie screen, film festivals provide a fading resource — an opportunity to see independent and streaming movies on the big screen.

“In almost no other environment today can you see a movie without knowing anything about it,” said director Rian Johnson, recipient of the 2019 John Cassavetes Award.

“There’s something wonderful about that.”

During the 42nd annual Denver Film Festival, I saw 15 films over 11 days — films that challenged me, perplexed me, and one that even sent shivers up my spine. Of those 15, here’s five that I highly recommend you seek out in the coming months: ‘The Human Factor’ Release date: Early 2020 Director Dror Moreh’s “The Human Factor,” takes audiences behind the scenes of the 1990s efforts by the United States to broker peace between Israel and its neighbors by interviewing the six American dip-

lomats who worked tirelessly on the project. It plays out like a thriller, but a heartbreaking one, because you know how it ends.

The film is a fascinating exploration of the peace process and how culture and history make that process difficult. As one negotiator says, “The Middle East is about history. That’s its curse.”

‘Knives Out’ Release date: Nov. 27 Director — and past Englewoodarea resident — Rian Johnson loves Agatha Christie mysteries. A lot.

And it shows in his first post-Star Wars film, “Knives Out,” which takes everything that makes Christie novels so much fun and updates it for modern audiences.

The cast is all aces, but the film absolutely belongs to Daniel Craig, who completely ditches all of 007’s reserved coolness for something completely different, and Ana de Armas, in a star-making performance.

What is perhaps most striking is the all the ways Johnson brings the issues so many families are currently facing into a thriller this engrossing.

“Part of the appeal in setting in 2019 meant engaging with the culture right now,” Johnson told audiences after the screening. “I wanted

to play into what people argue about after a few glasses of wine.”

‘The Lodge’ Release date: Feb. 7, 2020 Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s “The Lodge” is the best kind of horror film — one that digs into character and setting, and by exploring the things that affect all of us, completely haunt your dreams.

Riley Keough gives an implosive and frazzled performance as Grace, who gets snowed in with her two new potential stepchildren in an isolated cabin in the woods over the Christmas holiday. The rest of the film is a truly nerve-wracking examination of the dangers of repression, the lingering effects of trauma and the darkness inside us all.

This movie aims to shake you to your core. It does.

‘Olympic Dreams’ Release date: Feb. 14, 2020 Most of the time, love and relationships aren’t like they’re portrayed in the movies. Real relationships usually don’t include a whole lot of grand gestures, but rather small moments between two people who care deeply about each other. That’s real intimacy, and that’s what “Olympic Dreams” is all about.

The first movie ever filmed on

location during the Olympics in Athletes Village (in this case, the 2018 winter games in PyeongChang, South Korea), this stunner follows real Greek-American athlete Alexi Pappas through her time at the games, where she meets volunteer dentist Ezra (Nick Kroll, in his most nuanced performance to date).

What follows is a love story made up of perfect small moments, shared jokes and hopes, and the power of meeting a person who allows you to be your truest self. The Arvada judge gives it a perfect 10.

‘Sorry We Missed You’ Release date: March 6, 2020 The films of British director Ken Loach focus on people who could be your neighbors, co-workers, and even relatives. His latest, “Sorry We Missed You,” is bleaker and more relatable than ever.

The film examines the pitfalls of the “gig economy,” as a struggling British family tries to find financial stability in the new economy.

Loach is attuned to every detail and the movie is shot with an eye for the beautiful in the mundane.

Mostly, you can feel his rage at the way so many families are living in our new society. It’s clearly getting under Loach’s skin. With “Sorry We Missed You,” it gets under yours as well.

HOMELESS FROM PAGE 1

“It’s not just a safe place to stay, they have supportive services.”

Making yourself invisible Homeless women and children have a different set of needs than the rest of the population. Women are particularly vulnerable to assault when living on the streets. Children can be drawn into crime and sex trafficking. Single women with children need to find reliable and safe places to watch them while they search for jobs or housing.

Safety issues can be magnified even more if a person is part of the LGBTQ community.

During the 2019 Point in Time count, 3,943 homeless people were counted in the City and County of Denver, an increase of nearly 500 from last year.

Women represented around 30% of that count, or 1,171 individuals. Of the total count, 196 people were unaccompanied youths, 353 were fleeing from domestic violence and 69% lived in central Denver.

Although women and youths do make up a smaller portion of the homeless population, said BJ Iacino, the vice president of resource development with The Gathering Place, they are out there.

The Gathering Place is a day shelter that has been around in Denver for the past 30 years. Iacino said that because homeless women are often fleeing from violence, “they develop rather essential survival tactics,” she said. In other words, they find ways to make themselves invisible.

This invisibility stretches to the public view, Iacino said, adding it also can make it difficult when trying to get federal funding specifically for homeless women.

“Their needs are not well characterized in federal policy priorities,” she said.

Homeless youths also make themselves invisible as a way to hide from being preyed on for crime or sex trafficking. Christina Carlson, the CEO of Urban Peak, a nonprofit that serves homeless youths, said the organization does outreach to “find youth where they are” in the hopes of meeting their basic needs. One of those needs is learning how to build relationships.

“At the core of what we do is we build trusting relationship with adults for homeless youth who may never have had that,” Carlson said.

Need for a resource guide When you’re out on the street, it can be overwhelming. Helmig said she

Jami Helmig first found out about Warren Village when she was pregnant with her daughter. The nonprofit works with single parents to give them housing as well as resources for planning for the future.

BY KAILYN LAMB is an advocate for creating a book or guide for people who are looking for different resources.

“It’s not shelters that we need,” Helmig said. “We need housing that has inclusive things such as supportive services.”

One resource that the City of Denver puts on annually is Project Homeless Connect. Homeless people living in Denver are connected with a volunteer who can take them around to different nonprofit booths during the event as well as a job fair. The event also offers hair cuts, legal services, professional photos and more.

During this year’s event more than 1,500 people attended and were connected with services.

Many of the resources at Project Homeless Connect are centered around women. Shelters, family services and health services for women are included in the more than 130 organizations that participated this year.

This year, Project Homeless Connect also partnered with the Veterans Affairs office. Similar to the general homeless population, women are not often thought of when thinking of services for veterans. There has been a 10% increase in women vets. Khristie Barker, who works in community outreach with Veterans Affairs, said “women vets are trying hard to make a name for themselves.”

“I’m glad that they’re here,” she

said. “It can be intimidating being on the streets as a woman.”

She added that many women vets had stopped by during the Homeless Connect event and were connected with needed services.

Virginia “Sky” Bryant was one of the people who attended the event.

Although she is currently in housing, she said that the feeling of homelessness hasn’t left her yet.

“I don’t know if that will ever leave me,” she said. “Home is about safety, which goes beyond four walls and a roof.”

Bryant is one of many people who are dealing with trauma from abuse and rape. Over the years, Bryant has been homeless 10 different times.

Now, Bryant is a writer for the Denver Voice, a monthly publication providing job opportunities for people experiencing homelessness or poverty.

She started as a carrier, but said the job was difficult for her because she never felt safe alone on the street.

Instead, she writes about her experience as a homeless person. She wants to start what she calls the “Strategies of Survival University,” where she can pass along her knowledge and help lead other people to resources. She added that she wants to be part of a solution to homelessness.

“Something happened when I turned 70,” she said of the decision to share her knowledge. “I consider myself a teacher.”

Out of the shelter, into a home Most of the existing shelters for women operate at night, giving them a place to sleep. The Gathering Place is a place for them to go during the day.

The nonprofit offers job readiness programs, clothes, a food pantry and even an art program. The art made by the women who stay there is sold online, with the artists receiving a royalty, Iacino said.

Places like Urban Peak offer both a drop-in day service, as well as a night-

Although “a meal doesn’t solve homelessness,” Carlson said the expanded services will open a door for homeless youths, making Urban Peak’s services more available to help get them off the streets for good.

For children in particular, this can be critical because their bodies and brains are still growing.

“We have this opportunity with youth when their brains are still developing and they’re so resilient, we have this moment where we can really change what their future looks like,” Carlson said.

“I often say that Urban Peak’s work is prevention work, not really intervention work.”

For most of the nonprofit services in Denver, whether they are serving women, youths or LGBTQ individuals, the goal is not just to shelter them for the night. The goal is to get them into a home.

Although there is some overlap in the services they offer, such as transitional housing, job programs and classes for life skills, many of the nonprofits serving women are looking for the gaps.

The Delores Project for example, serves women without children, and is the only shelter in the Denver metro area that serves transgender and gender nonconforming individuals.

The Delores Project first started serving the trans community eight years ago after seeing a need to create a safe space for those who were being “victimized and harassed,” said Stephanie Miller, CEO with the organization.

In the Point in Time Count, only 22 transgender people were counted, but Miller estimated that between 17% and 20% of the nearly 400 people they served at the Delores Project identified as trans.

Carlson added that “the LGBT population is highly over-represented in homeless populations.” Sometimes, women and trans youths who have aged out of services from Urban Peak move on to receive help from The Delores Project.

The Delores Project also moved forward in offering extended shelter stays, allowing women to stay anywhere from six months to up to two years.

“We are the only shelter in the city, perhaps in the state that offers beds for beyond one night at a time,” Miller said.

Trauma informed care Safety is often a large concern for women who are homeless. Assault on the streets is not uncommon. Warren Village has security in place for its residents, and the Delores Project does not publish its address in order to protect the women staying at the shelter.

This helps people relax, so they can put their efforts into their health or job programming at the shelter, Miller said.

said Eric Escudero, a spokesman for Denver’s business licensing department. Generally, sidewalks will be offlimits without a permit from Denver Public Works, but alleys and other areas like parking lots are fair game if they’re closed to vehicle traffic.

Available permits will allow drinking for 15 days or for one year.

The Hancock administration really doesn’t want people thinking this setup is anything like the deal in New Orleans. Escudero said the

“Just being homeless is a trauma in and of itself,” she said. “They don’t worry about their surroundings so they can focus their minds on other things.”

Because many of these individuals living on the streets have been the victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault and rape, they also deal with mental health issues as a result of that trauma. For Helmig, it took her a long time to feel safe walking places by herself.

There has also been an increase in women veterans living on the streets, Iacino said. When veterans or women and LGBTQ individuals are living on the street and not taking care of their mental health, those issues can get worse.

“When you drill down, the picture becomes more discouraging,” Iacino said.

Homelessness is often a more “complicated picture” than what people think, Carlson said. A person could have become homeless due to any number of reasons, and few people choose to stay homeless.

Because the circumstances of a person’s homelessness varies so much, there’s not always a one-size-fits-all

VOICES

Nicknames can be enigmatic, charismatic, emblematic, problematic

M

ost of us, including me, have nicknames.

Most of us who have nicknames didn’t nickname ourselves, and that’s where this column comes in.

Like everything else that we say and do these days, nicknaming someone has QUIET come under scrutiny.

DESPERATION There are even those who feel strongly that nicknames should be banned because, as one psychologist said, they can be a form of condescension, and control.

Three guesses what my high school nick- Craig Marshall name was. It wasn’t Smith “Babaganoosh” or “Lollipop.”

It was “Smitty.”

Some nicknames are necessary.

Mike Krzyzewski reportedly can’t

even spell his own name. No one can.

He’s called “Coach K.” (Coach K is 72, but he looks exactly like he did when he was 32.)

The word “nickname” comes from “ekename” (c. 1300), meaning “a familiar or diminutive name.”

Some nicknames are a snap. “Beth” from Elizabeth. “Joe” from Joseph.

However, I will never understand “Jack” from John. Or “Dick” from Richard.

Some nicknames are uncomplimentary, and refer to appearance or behavior. That goes for most of the Seven Dwarfs.

The dwarfs were unnamed by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the collectors and publishers of “Snow White.” In 1937, Walt Disney staff provided the names we now associate with the dwarfs. I sure wish I had been in the meeting that day when names were proposed.

I’m told “Pizza Face” was rejected.

Here’s a little test. We all know what George Ruth’s nickname was.

How about George Anderson? Wilmer Mizell?

How about “The It Girl,” “The Oomph Girl,” and “The Sweater Girl”?

Dwight was “Ike,” and Ronald was “Dutch.”

Manfred von Richthofen was “Red Baron,” and Charles Lindbergh was “Lucky Lindy.”

Louis Armstrong was “Satchmo,” Mel Torme was the “Velvet Fog,” and Bruce Springsteen is “The Boss.” Who was “Yardbird”?

Who was “Scarface,” “Bugsy,” and “Pretty Boy”?

My favorite baseball player was stuck with “Splendid Splinter.” Willie Mays was “The Say Hey Kid.” You really know your nicknames if you can name the ones given to these two guys: Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis.

Cities have nicknames. Can you name Cincinnati’s? New York City’s?

Manhattan’s (the one in Kansas)?

Schools have nicknames. They are often called “mascots.” The most com-

mon school nicknames are “Eagles,” Tigers,” and “Wildcats.”

Snore.

Some nicknames are entirely unique to the school: “Cornhuskers,” “Crimson Tide,” and “Ichabods.”

Bonus points today for identifying the school that is associated with the Ichabods.

Jennifer said, “What’s a Boilermaker?”

A craftsman who builds and maintains steam locomotives, and Purdue students.

Whenever I wear one of my University of Michigan shirts, someone invariably says, “Go Blue.”

Whenever I wear one of my UCLA shirts, someone invariably says, “Go Trojans,” and then there is a fistfight.

Here are your answers: George Anderson was “Sparky.” Wilmer Mizell was “Vinegar Bend.” Clara Bow was “The It Girl.” Ann Sheridan was “The “Oomph Girl.”

Confidently pursuing our success is needed approach

P

erhaps you do not agree with the statement that there is power in the way we see ourselves, and that is OK, I welcome you to challenge the theory here.

There are countless stories of success where people attributed their ability to train, practice, prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically in order to set the stage for winning and succeeding WINNING with a connection to WORDS their confidence.

They saw themselves as a winner before they even entered the game or began the project or initiative. Covering the important role of a consistent and healthy self-image last week, let’s build Michael Norton upon the role of confidence and its direct impact on our success.

Over the years I have developed an appreciation for what I believe is the greatest quality for anyone looking to pursue and achieve their goals, grow within their organization, possibly

even own their own company one day, be a better person, mom, dad, spouse, or friend, and even become a better and stronger sales person. And regardless of where someone is looking to make improvements or advancements personally or professionally, the answer is found in the four C’s. Confidence, Confidence, Confidence, and Confidence.

Confidence in yourself. Confidence in your product or service, or your project or initiative. Confidence in yourself or your company that you will see things through, or the company will stand behind the product or service you are providing. Confidence in your commitment to continuous learning and improvement.

There is no question that we must practice, and maybe even “fake it until we make it” as we continue to gain our confidence. The goal, however, is to become confident in ourselves, confident in our product or service, confident in our company, and confident in our commitment to continues improvement.

Companies would do well to place more emphasis in this area for new hires. Many organizations struggle with turnover of employees. Employees will share during exit interviews

that they just lacked the confidence to become successful. This is happening with increased frequency as companies prioritize onboarding of new team personnel but forget to work on the person and not just company information, product knowledge, and policies and procedures.

And if we take a salesperson who has just been hired, has strong presence, excellent learning skills and habits, and understands how to use and leverage data, and if this salesperson has never sold anything before, it could be a disaster if we place them in an environment where the lack of a healthy self-image or confidence could really hurt them. Possibly even ending in early termination because they weren’t trained in the area that will give them the will and the skill to confidently speak with or meet prospects and customers. And the revolving door starts turning once again as we look to backfill those positions.

Confidence, when the four areas of confidence mentioned above can be mastered, any one of us can go toe-totoe with any peer, any manager, and prospect or customer, and any competition that may be in our way. Now we do not want to become confused here

either. I am not suggesting arrogance or being cocky, what I am suggesting is that individuals, managers, and businesses take the time to invest in making sure that our people are ready to succeed and have the greatest likelihood of success.

To accomplish this we would do well to hire slowly, make sure they have the best chance of succeeding, give them a strong onboarding program that includes training on confidence and a healthy self-image, and then watch as they impact the success of the organization and grow personally and professionally.

So how about you? How important has confidence been to your own success? What happened when you lacked confidence? I would love to hear your story of confidence at gotonorton@ gmail.com, and when we can have confidence in ourselves, confidence in our products and services, confidence in our company, and confidence to pursue continuous improvement, it really be a better than good week.

Ever thought of baking your potatoes before mashing them?

BY KATIE WORKMAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

H

osting Thanksgiving isn’t for the faint of heart. There are more dishes than you might usually serve. More timing concerns because of that. More pots and plates to wash. And perhaps more family dynamics, buried deep below the surface for the other 364 days a year, that threaten to bubble up through the gravy.

Well, I can’t do anything about your family dynamics (if I could I would start closer to home). But I can share tips and tricks I’ve picked up over the years, along with advice from some other Thanksgiving Dinner pros.

Mashed potatoes There are two basic ways to make potatoes for mashing.

1) Boil and then peel them.

Peeling potatoes can be a drag (though if you need a kitchen task to give an eager family member, this is a good one).

But if you boil your potatoes whole in their skins until tender (about 20 to 25 minutes), then transfer them to an ice bath (a big bowl of ice water) and let them sit for 20 to 30 seconds, the skins will slide right off. Then you can go right ahead and mash them.

2) Bake your potatoes.

Megan Scott and John Becker, authors of the new “Joy of Cooking,’’ explain, “Baking the potatoes dries them out a bit more, allowing for maximum butter/cream/ dairy absorption and a fluffier texture. You can bake them at the same time as the turkey.’’

A medium russet potato will bake in approximately 1 hour at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Just pierce them a few times with a knife and set them directly on an oven rack.

Once baked, cut them open and scoop out the insides for mashing.

Turkey roasting As Scott and Becker note, “A turkey is actually two roasts in one. The breast is thick, lean and will begin to overcook the minute it exceeds 165 degrees Fahrenheit. The leg quarters, on the other hand,

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

are bonier, fattier and practically impossible to overcook.

In fact, we find that they have the best texture when cooked to 175 degrees or above.”

They recommend separating the legs from the breast toward the end of cooking to get both dark and white meat perfect.

“When the breast reaches an internal temperature of 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit, remove the turkey, and carefully (using a dish towel and a sharp knife) cut off the whole legs,” they say. “Return the leg quarters to the pan and cook them until they register an internal temp of 175 degrees.

Meanwhile, tent the breast loosely while the legs finish cooking.’’

If you want to warm up the breasts before cutting and serving, they suggest adding them to the back of the pan at the end. True, you don’t end up with a whole turkey dramatically presented and carved at the table, but Scott and Becker are right that “your guests will appreciate a properly cooked turkey more than a turkey as centerpiece.’’

Stuffing Sure, you can use a mix, but Daniel Leader, cookbook author and bread baker in New York’s Hudson Valley, suggests making your own.

You might be surprised by the bread he recommends, and an intriguing secret ingredient: “I love to use slightly dark, gnarly sourdough bread with its nooks and crannies for

stuffing. I cut up a little over a pound of bread into 1-inch cubes and mix with a generous 1/3 cup of local bourbon from Tutthilltown Distillery nearby in Gardiner, New York. I saute a mix of onions, celery, carrots, local honey crisp apples, garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, combine it all, and add chicken stock as needed.”

Leader stuffs his bird with the mixture, but you can also bake it separately.

Gravy Bill Smith, recently retired chef at Crook’s Corner in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, has had the good fortune to be a guest at an old friend’s home for years, and his sole task is to make the gravy. He does a lot of the prep ahead of time, and lets the giblets do some of the heavy lifting.

Put the neck and all the giblets except the liver in a saucepan of cold water and simmer until they are well done, he says. You can do this the day before and degrease the cooled broth later. Chop up the gizzard and heart and shred the meat from the neckbone. Then, just before dinner, when the bird is done, move it to a platter to rest. Pour off as much fat from the roasting pan as possible, while saving as much of the juices as you can. In a jar with a tight lid, shake a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the cold broth until it is completely combined. Put the roasting pan with the remaining cook-

ing juices on the stove over high heat.

“Grab whatever wine is nearby (I have used both red and white) and pour a generous cup into the pan,’’ Smith says. “Use a whisk to swirl it around and reduce it by half.

Add your broth-flour slurry, pouring it through a sieve, and whisk and reduce to the thickness that you prefer.

Taste for salt and pepper and stir in the chopped giblets.”

Grate your butter If you are making your own pie crust, first, wow, good for you. And second, instead of cutting the butter into the flour mixture, which is messy and time consuming, try grating it. Take cold butter straight from the fridge and grate it on the large holes of a grater. Mix the flakes into the dry ingredients, then add your liquid. This also works for streusel toppings.

Vegan friendly Isa Chandra Moskowitz, a vegan chef and author, suggests using olive or coconut oil instead of butter to help turn vegetarian dishes vegan.

This works for stuffing if the bread and vegetable broth are also vegan, for candied yams, and for any vegetable you need to saute or roast. She also suggests making smaller, vegan versions of dairy-rich dishes. For mashed potatoes, for example, “set aside a few potatoes for your vegan guests and mash with olive oil, salt and pepper for yummy

smashed potatoes.”

While you can find vegan roasts to stand in for the turkey, Moskowitz likes lentils as a protein.

“A shepherd’s pie with mashed lentils, stuffed squash with lentils, or a mushroom lentil stew would both be delicious accessible mains for everyone at the table, in addition to whatever else you are serving,” she says.

Housekeeping Set the table the night before, or earlier. All of it — glasses, centerpieces, pitchers for drinks, etc. Take out every serving platter, bowl and utensil you will need, and create a little label saying what will go into each dish.

Get thee a cooler: Fridge space is a hot commodity on Thanksgiving, so buy yourself some extra real estate with a big cooler or two filled with ice. Use these for drinks, whipping cream, salad dressing, anything that doesn’t need to be sitting on a flat surface in the fridge.

And now, you’re ready. May your holiday be as smooth as your gravy, and vice versa.

Neighbors can brighten holidays for those in need Donations of money, food, toys help community support itself, charity group says

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For more than 1,000 people in the south metro area, the food on the table at Thanksgiving or the presents under the tree at Christmas will come from the generosity of their neighbors.

More than 250 families, totaling 1,068 people, are signed up for the holiday program at Integrated Family Community Services — formerly Interfaith — the assistance agency that has kept bellies full and lights on for people in dire straits for decades.

The recipients come from a variety of backgrounds, said Sarah Rutledge, IFCS’ associate development director: single parents and their children, veterans, the elderly and disabled. A sizable majority have jobs, Rutledge said, but skyrocketing housing prices and stagnant wages have pushed them to the margins.

For people struggling to stay afloat,

celebrating the holidays can be a vital respite, said Todd McPherson, IFCS’ outreach director.

“They’re looking for normalcy, to participate in the celebrations everyone around them are having,” McPherson said. “They want to show love to their kids. To have a reward at the end of a stressful year. We can all help them get there.”

“The goal here is to give people a hand up, not a hand out,” McPherson said. “The idea is, if we help you cover the holidays, you can save your money to put toward that car repair or that doctor bill hanging over your head.”

It’s a great way for the community to take care of itself, he said.

“We’re telling people in need that they matter, and that the community wants them to have better lives and overcome obstacles,” Mc Pherson said.

People who signed up for the holiday program will receive one box of food for Thanksgiving, and another for Christmas or other December holidays, McPherson said. Families also signed up to receive gifts.

For those in need who didn’t sign up by the deadline at the end of October, it’s not too late, McPherson said.

“Give us a call, and we’ll set you up with one of our case managers,”

GIVE HELP, GET HELP Integrated Family Community Services Address: 3370 S. Irving St., near Federal Boulevard and Hampden Avenue.

Phone: 303-789-0501 Website: IFCS.org Though previously limited to the south Denver metro area, IFCS now provides services to all Colorado residents.

Information about receiving assistance, or on giving donations is available on the agency’s website. In addition to monetary donations, IFCS welcomes volunteers for a variety of roles.

McPherson said.

For those who would like to pitch in, by far the best way is with a cash donation, McPherson said. Donors can also give gift cards, food items, or call to ask about volunteering opportunities.

People can also set up food drives at their workplaces, McPherson said, or ask their companies about matching charitable donations.

For those who would like to donate toys, IFCS prefers gifts under $30, Rutledge said, with a preference for old-fashioned or low-tech toys.

“We really love gifts that help kids develop,” Rutledge said, including science kits, art supplies, sports gear or bike helmets.

IFCS doesn’t allow video games as

gifts, she said.

Adults deserve gifts too, Rutledge said, and IFCS prefers stress-relieving items like Snuggies and candles, or useful items like work gloves, tools, or hats and scarves.

“We ask adults what they’d like for Christmas, and many of them draw a blank and say ‘nobody’s ever asked me that,’” Rutledge said. “For our seniors, one of the more common answers is laundry soap.”

IFCS doesn’t want secondhand items, McPherson said.

“We’re trying to instill dignity, respect and self-worth,” McPherson said. “Expired food, ratty clothes and broken toys don’t do that. If you wouldn’t use it, it won’t enrich others.”

And while the holidays are the busiest time both in terms of donations and need, McPherson said, IFCS needs support all year.

“It takes long-term support to help keep families from falling through the cracks into homelessness,” McPherson said.

IFCS has seen need climb swiftly in recent years, he said, while donations have struggled to keep pace.

“This is a time and a place of plenty,” McPherson said. “Let’s grasp what people are willing to give.

There’s a need, day in and day out.

Our neighbors are depending on us.”

TOBIN BROUGHT THE

GRIT An ACL tear hurts. No doubt — but the hardest part isn’t the physical pain.

It’s the doubt. The psych-out. When Tobin tore his ACL playing lacrosse, he needed the elite recovery team at Children’s Colorado to custom-build him a personalized path back to the game. But a path doesn’t mean a thing without the will to walk it. That takes grit.

Thanks for inspiring me, Tobin.
