First day brings a look forward Englewood students back in session

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Trianna Perry had her eye on changes on the first day of school at Englewood High.

“I’m excited to see how the school will work with all the different staff changes,” said Perry, a 14-year-old sophomore. A noticeable portion of the staff is new this year, she said, and she’s excited to see how that plays out.

New clubs are on her mind, too.

On Aug. 13, Julian Stell had a feeling on his mind that’s sure to catch many of his fellow freshmen going into the year.

Asked what excites him about being a freshman, Stell, 14, said, “Everything that comes along with it. And I’m excited to feel more grown up, I suppose.”

About 900 Englewood elementary school students took in new sights on Aug. 13 as they reported to new classrooms at Clayton Elementary School and Charles Hay World School, the first two schools built in Englewood since the 1960s.

Work is underway or soon will be underway on the other two elementary schools, Bishop and Cherrelyn.

A ribbon cutting and an open house was held Aug. 7 at Clayton and was held

Aug. 8 at Hay so teachers, parents and students could check out the new facilities. But things really got underway Aug. 13 when the students reported to for the first day of the new school year.

“It was so exciting this morning as the children started school here in this new building,” said Laurie Cahill, Clayton school secretary. “There was definitely a wow factor as the kids reported to their classrooms for the first time and got to work with the new Apple TVs. The excitement was still there as the kids visited the new lunchroom for the first time.”

She said a huge plus was the school again had a playground.

“We didn’t have a playground while the new school was being built,” she said. “It seemed like every kid was out there on the playground running around.

5 things to know about CityCenter foreclosure

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s hard to miss the CityCenter Englewood development — it takes up most of the right-hand view on a drive from South Broadway to the west on U.S. Highway 285.

Behind the scenes, that landscape may be about to change: A large portion of the property along the highway changed hands in a foreclosure sale on Aug. 8, and the city is jumping on what it says is an opportunity — “revitalization” is the buzzword — to reimagine the center in a time of nationwide retail decline.

Here are a few things to know about possible changes.

History of CityCenter The former Cinderella City mall was once referred to as “the largest mall west of the Mississippi,” according to a Denver Public Library article.

But competition led to a decline, and after a late-1990s demolition, the site was converted into the city’s Walmart, other retail and the building that houses city-government offices and the Englewood Public Library.

That area, CityCenter Englewood, stretches roughly from the RTD lightrail tracks to South Elati Street, and between West Hampden and Floyd avenues.

Englewood Civic Center, which houses the city offices and library, is

1

part of the CityCenter development.

What is EEF? The city created the Englewood Environmental Foundation in the late 1990s to oversee redevelopment of the mall into the CityCenter site. Three City of Englewood officials make up its board of leaders.

The private nonprofit was formed to “shield the city from potential environmental liability” from issues including asbestos and gasoline contamination from nearby properties at the time, according to a city fact sheet.

Its financial operation is publicly reported as part of the city’s published financial statement, the sheet said.

“As it has evolved, the EEF board defers to the city council to review and affirm all of its recommended actions other than minor day-to-day operating decisions,” said Dan Poremba, Englewood’s chief redevelopment officer.

Walmart and the apartments at CityCenter are under other ownership, but EEF is the underlying owner of the rest of the property. EEF “groundleased” that remaining portion to Miller-Weingarten Realty — now just Weingarten — for a term of 75 years, of which 57 remain. Weingarten was the “master developer” that oversaw which retail businesses would occupy the buildings.

The property includes Ross, 24 Hour Fitness and Harbor Freight Tools, among others.

The Western Welcome Week Board wishes to thank our sponsors for their generous support during the 90th celebration.

Why foreclosure?

The decline of “brick-andmortar” stores was just part of what drove the foreclosure, Poremba said.

Weingarten defaulted on a $33 million debt late last year and had no liability for walking away from that debt, according to the city.

“It’s really a great blessing in disguise for the city,” Poremba said.

“It gives the chance to disrupt what would have been an inevitable downward cycle of that retail.”

Current business’ leases are not directly impacted by the foreclosure, and it’s expected that the retail tenants will remain in place, Poremba said. It appears that the interim lessee of the former Weingarten property — which oversees it before it fully changes hands — will work to lease current vacancies in preparation for selling the property, Poremba said.

Mixed-use options Smaller retail, office uses, educational and entertainment sites, and even a hotel are among the possibilities the area could see, Poremba said.

Near the RTD station, more multifamily residential units could be in the mix. City staff and council’s preferences for what combination of uses could arise remain to be worked out, Poremba said. The goal is to “revitalize this area on behalf of all of Englewood” and generate significant new

4

tax revenues for the city, he added.

The remaining 57 years of the lease is too short a term for most developers and investors, so it’s likely the new buyer would have to discuss with the EEF and city about extending the lease, Poremba said. That’s what could give the city a voice in what uses go into the redevelopment — otherwise, it has little say.

Change of space?

The city leases the Englewood Civic Center — a former Foley’s department store — from the EEF. Although it’s not part of the Weingarten foreclosure, it’s likely a new developer would desire to redevelop the civic center for uses like office, hotel and residential, Poremba said.

Such a change would require city council’s direction. City Manager Eric Keck has favored the move as a way to save money — staying in the civic center costs about $2.4 million annually — for a city facing steep upcoming infrastructure costs that it’s not prepared for.

Since discussions dating back to at least January 2016, some councilmembers have been uneasy with moving Englewood’s city hall.

C-III Asset Management is the interim lessee after the foreclosure, but its role is to sell to another company that will succeed Weingarten. When that will occur is unknown, and the city plans to meet with C-III in September.

Randall Thompson, a man who has been homeless for 5 1/2 years in the Denver metro area, holds up a trespass notice he was issued July 7 near the Englewood Civic Center, 1000 Englewood Parkway. The notice bans him from the civic center area for a year. Thompson, in his late 50s, frequently comes to the CityCenter Englewood shopping center along West Hampden Avenue, a few blocks west of South Broadway.

Police, court, other public institutions grapple with homelessness on streets in Englewood

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

o Englewood police Sgt. Tracy Jones, the homeless situation on the city’s central streets is a row of stops — the lightrail station, the library, the Englewood Trolley bus route, the Walmart, liquor stores, a popular bus stop and the local hospital.

At points along that path, homeless individuals gather to pass time, use the internet or enjoy much-needed companionship. But some also shoplift or drink alcohol. A few in the city end up at Swedish Medical Center after drinking too much, police say.

Others pass through Judge Joe Jefferson’s municipal courtroom on charges such as shoplifting, trespassing or having alcohol in public — a handful rack up repeat offenses and months

of jail time.

“Many of our contacts with homeless involve crimes, often petty crimes,” said Reid McGrath, a sergeant regarded as the Englewood Police Department’s in-house expert on homelessness. “It’s not that most homeless commit crimes; it’s just how we come into contact with them.”

In a city where recent years have seen more homeless on the streets, public spaces — Englewood’s library, the civic center as a whole and Swedish hospital — face the challenge of responding to a population that often generates complaints but that police say is affected significantly by co-occurring mental health and substance-use issues and needs a hand to break the vicious cycle.

That’s why Englewood police added a mentalhealth co-responder this spring, who rides with officers to connect individuals with resources, and why the court wants to expand its relationship with behavioral-services provider AllHealth Network to connect the homeless to help.

And McGrath, representing the police force, is a member of the community action group Change the Trend Network, a coalition of churches, nonprofits, a health-care provider and the Engle-

To read the first installment, published in May, go to englewoodherald.net/no-place-to-call-home/. wood Police Department, which organized last year in response to concerns over the increasing homeless population.

What property is public or private?

The answer can determine whether a person can remain there or not

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Unlike Denver, where a 2012 law bans camping on private and public property, Englewood does not have a law specifically barring camping — staying in an outdoor place with a tent, sleeping bag or other shelter.

But where a homeless person can legally spend time or stay outdoors is more complicated than that.

The city can move homeless people from public property under laws that prohibit: • Loitering, defined as standing idle or interfering “with the free and unobstructed use” of a public place by others.

• Obstructing a sidewalk.

• Trespassing, which means to be on property without permission.

Officers often give trespass notices — which ban a person from returning for one year — at the Englewood Civic Center, the municipal building at 1000 Englewood Parkway that houses the city’s library and most of its administrative offices. A person can receive a trespass notice for law violations such as aggressive — violent or threatening — panhandling, blocking access to or from a business, or other harassing behavior, according to Sgt. Chad Read, spokesman for Englewood police.

Trespass notices can be given even on publicly accessible property, such as the RTD station next to the civic center. RTD handles its own trespass policy, said Investigator Scot Allen, another spokesman for Englewood police.

Whether a person can get in trouble based on loitering — being on public or private property without a specific purpose — is less clear-cut.

HOMELESS FROM PAGE 5

When a person gets to know the homeless, stereotypes break down, said Mike Sandgren, network leader for Change the Trend.

“It is clear that people experiencing homelessness operate in similar ways to everybody else,” Sandgren said.

“They do not actively look for ways to break the law, they feel remorse when they do and the vast majority of them desire to be stable, law-abiding citizens.”

Navigating the hub Although exact numbers are difficult to come by, police and city officials agree Englewood’s homeless population has increased in recent years and that it is affecting businesses, neigh-

A tote bag of cans, plates and food containers rests next to a garbage bag of other materials and a beer can along South Platte River Drive in Englewood in May. Personnel from the City of Englewood, homeless-resource volunteers and other governmental agencies carried out a cleanup of the river in January, during which about two dozen camps and about 25 truckloads of trash were removed.

ELLIS ARNOLD A person is unlikely to be written up for loitering in a park, Read said, but it is possible under Englewood’s law.

Many loitering situations are handled under trespass law instead, said Joe Jefferson, Englewood’s municipal judge.

Camping on a sidewalk, if a person isn’t blocking pedestrian access, is likely not something police could move a person for, Englewood police Sgt. Reid McGrath said. Portions of alleys are owned by the adjacent property owner, which can dictate the response by police if a person is staying in such an area.

A person lying in the grass near a public sidewalk who isn’t causing a problem also may not be an issue, but it’s up to an officer to make that decision, Read said.

It’s illegal to sleep or live in a vehicle in Englewood, but Jefferson

borhoods and public spaces.

“The homeless problem is much broader in scope than what we see along Englewood Parkway and South Broadway,” McGrath said. “Here and across the metro area, they live in cars, RVs, along waterways, under bridges, couch-surfing” and “with multiple families in one residence.”

But the city’s commercial hub, the CityCenter Englewood shopping center — roughly between South Santa Fe Drive and South Elati Street, and West Hampden and Floyd avenues — is a frequent stop for homeless individuals on the street, according to police and court officials.

Englewood Parkway runs through the heart of that area. That street begins at the Englewood Civic Center — the building that houses the Englewood Public Library and the city’s offices — and is bordered on both sides by large and small retail stores and restaurants.

He doesn’t see many cases for loitering, he said.

The city is considerKeck ing a camping ban, but because it may be in conflict with other case law related to homeless individuals’ rights, Englewood will undertake legal analysis before moving forward, City Manager Eric Keck said.

Private elements What’s more, despite housing the city’s municipal offices and court, the Englewood Civic Center and the areas around it are owned by a private entity, the Englewood Environ-

mental Foundation.

The city created the EEF in the late 1990s to oversee ownership of some property in the CityCenter Englewood development — roughly the area between West Hampden and Floyd avenues, and from the lightrail tracks to South Elati Street, excluding the Walmart and apartments — where Cinderella City mall used to sit. City of Englewood officials make up its board of directors.

The EEF employs private security that patrols the civic center and has discretion separate from Englewood police. Read and Allen were unsure whether EEF has rules that go beyond standards set by city ordinances.

Brad Power, Englewood’s director of community development and an EEF board member, said the outside areas under EEF’s ownership are publicly accessible, aside from the nearby apartments, and the commercial buildings can have their own rules.

Power said he did not have information on whether private security tells people to move off EEF property based on rules or standards other than city law. Keck said EEF can establish its own rules and regulations on its property.

Police and the city also ordered homeless encampments to leave the South Platte River in January. The river was designated as a flood-control mitigation area by the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, which works with metro cities to manage waterways and remove trash and debris. Keck also declared it a public nuisance under city law.

But who owns the land on the Platte along Englewood’s city boundary near West Dartmouth Avenue is unclear, Keck said, because the river’s path has changed over the years.

“Until such time as ownership of the land is confirmed,” Keck said, “moving people off the area may not be possible.”

The beaten path for some homeless individuals often extends to Englewood Parkway and South Acoma Street, a corner notorious for public drinking, police say. A bus stop at that corner serves routes that run to downtown Denver, Northglenn and Aurora and south on Broadway to Littleton, Centennial and Highlands Ranch.

That bus stop also sits on the free Englewood Trolley route — formerly the Art Shuttle — that runs from the Englewood Civic Center to Englewood’s medical district across Broadway on East Hampden Avenue.

But McGrath also noted that while police often see homeless individuals ride the Trolley, it’s not clear that they do so in conjunction with drinking or shoplifting. In the winter, they ride the Trolley potentially as a way to keep warm, he said.

Ruling with ‘human element’ in mind Local judge works to connect homeless defendants with resources

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Across the hall from his old seat as mayor on Englewood City Council, Joe Jefferson has donned the judge’s robes and brought with him a passion for helping defendants succeed.

“Our primary goal is two-fold,” Jefferson said, referencing a court’s job to deter crimes. “But we also have this restorative and rehabilitative function, and that’s where I feel we can make some substantial improvements.”

At the Englewood Municipal Court, Jefferson is leading a push to offer more positive opportunities to resolve cases and lessen the financial blow the homeless may receive. He’s also working to connect homeless defendants to local resources — food banks, nonprofits and mental health assistance.

The goal is to help all defendants improve their lives, but homeless defendants may need more attention, said Jefferson, who served as Englewood’s mayor from 2015 until January of this year.

“They’re dealing with housing, food, (need for) IDs — transportation is a big one,” Jefferson said. And for those who need mental health and substance-use assistance but don’t have the money, “I feel like I need to provide more resources in that

Some homeless individuals also end up at Swedish Medical Center after overdosing on alcohol or drugs, police added.

Randall Thompson, who has been homeless for about 5 1/2 years and frequents the CityCenter, said he hears from store associates and security at Walmart and King Soopers in the Englewood Parkway area that the stores have a “severe” shoplifting problem. He sees people who appear to be homeless often in those businesses, he said.

Jones also said homeless people shoplift at those locations. Sgt. Chad Read, spokesman for Englewood police, noted shoplifting is a problem throughout the Denver metro area that is not isolated to the homeless.

People with homes and jobs, he said, pass through Englewood and can steal from liquor stores, Walmart and other businesses, too.

High-traffic areas for homeless individuals also include the Safeway near East Jefferson Avenue and South Logan Street, gas stations, parks and alleys parallel to Broadway — along South Lincoln and Acoma streets,

ELLIS ARNOLD regard.”

As part of that effort, the court refers defendants to AllHealth Network, a behavioral health-care provider, to get treatment as part of alternative sentences — a way to avoid jail time, Jefferson said. He plans to meet with AllHealth to discuss connecting defendants to help more directly.

For defendants’ community service, Jefferson wants to enlist local

police said.

To the south of CityCenter, business owners on the 4300 block of Broadway have brought complaints to police and the city about incidents ranging from sleeping near businesses to altercations outside front doors. Giving Heart, a homeless-services center on that block, has been mentioned in several complaints at Englewood City Council meetings.

The Englewood police Impact Team, which focuses on problem locations in the city, was assigned, among other places, to the area around Giving Heart in late January.

The team is composed of McGrath and four officers.

According to a police memorandum on what Impact Team officers found during the week of Jan. 23 and the following week — in plainclothes and in uniform — officers did not see criminal violations or homeless people loitering on the block. In

programs the homeless can serve and be served by, such as HOPE food pantry on South Broadway or Café 180, a restaurant that provides meals in exchange for volunteer service for those who can’t pay and which often serves homeless patrons.

“People like that who have a true affinity for our defendants and our local community — that’s who I want to start with,” Jefferson said.

The court currently allows ser-

vice hours at places throughout the Denver-metro area.

Aside from emphasizing community service, the court has lowered bonds it imposes on defendants, particularly for those who are financially struggling.

If a person is in financial need and has a minor offense — such as a firsttime open container — the court sets bond as low as $50, Jefferson said.

Normally, that amount could be $100 for a person who has a home, but it’s always a case-by-case basis, he said.

Bond comes into play if a person misses court or pleads “not guilty.”

It’s common for homeless defendants to miss court dates, Jefferson said, and the court is considering new technology that may be able to help, such as an automated reminder phone call or text message. The docket also could be put online so a defendant can check the date.

For Jefferson, adjudicating the homeless with compassion is a matter of looking at an old metaphor, Maslow’s pyramid of needs — a hierarchy of factors in life that includes safety, self-esteem and physiological well-being.

“What I realize is these people are on the base level,” he said, “and I can’t expect them to pay for a class that’s going rehabilitate them” if they don’t know where they’ll eat or sleep.

It’s important to remember “the human element” and that some of the city’s homeless were born and raised in Englewood, Jefferson said.

It’s important “not just to punish, but to restore and rehabilitate.”

COALITION UPDATE Last summer, Change the Trend Network, a coalition of nonprofits, faith-based groups, a healthcare provider and the Englewood police, formed to address homelessness in Englewood.

After introductory statements to the Englewood City Council, Change the Trend came forward with a March 22 forum, where residents engaged in conversation with the coalition. Another gathering June 27 fostered more dialogue on housing, mental health, police interactions and the city’s response to homelessness.

Perhaps the most holistic initiative Change the Trend has put forth is its resource-navigation program, which involves connecting the homeless to local resources and getting assessments for mental health and substance use, said Englewood police Sgt. Reid McGrath, a member of Change the Trend.

“We are happy to report that one of our first participants in the program is both housed and employed!” Change the Trend said in an email in early June.

The group is still building the program’s structure but has informally had a handful of clients, McGrath said in June.

Police integrate mental health component into work with homeless

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a late spring day in June, Englewood police Sgt. Reid McGrath described a call about a woman who said she was hearing voices — a scenario he said is not unusual for police interactions with people who appear to be homeless.

“Among the homeless, we’re more likely to deal with substance abuse and serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia — very debilitating,” McGrath said.

Englewood city officials have pointed to rising housing costs in the Denver metro area as a likely cause for an increased homeless population in Englewood. But housing isn’t the only concern.

“The No. 1 priority for people to move out of homelessness is access to substance-abuse and mental health treatment resources,” said McGrath, whose police department recently added a new position to help overcome those obstacles.

Generally, whether people abuse substances before or after ending up homeless is unclear, McGrath said. “I think you could certainly find people who before they became homeless were (addicted), but a great number of them” afterward.

“If I was homeless suddenly, I might find myself using substances to cope more,” McGrath said. But that substance abuse or mental health issue “prevents them from being able to successfully navigate the system and the process of getting out of homeless-

MORE ABOUT HOMELESSNESS • The annual Point-In-Time survey counted 5,317 homeless people on Jan. 29, 2018, in the seven-county Denver metro area.

• The area includes Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas, Broomfield and Boulder counties. About 65 percent stayed in Denver, 11 percent each in Boulder and Jefferson counties, 9 percent in Adams County and 4 percent — or 198 individuals — in Arapahoe County.

• The total included 566 veterans and 1,596 chronically homeless individuals.

• Of the survey’s total, 384 people said they were fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking.

• Of the total, 1,515 said they had a substance use or abuse issue, 61 had HIV or AIDS and 1,415 self-reported a mentalhealth issue.

That’s why in June, Englewood police added a mental health co-responder to the department.

Emilie Van haecke, a counselor with AllHealth Network, which provides behavioral-health services and has locations in Littleton and elsewhere in the south-metro area, rides along with officers, making contact with individuals who may face health issues. She can provide assistance if someone needs a mental health hospitalization — if they’re a danger to themselves or

others or are disabled — or other help, she said.

“We’re really flexible with getting people connected to financial resources and insurance,” said Van haecke, who works with Englewood officers two days per week and also works with Littleton police.

Van haecke also can refer those in need to a mental health center or crisis center, options that make mental-health care more accessible than in an emergency room, McGrath said.

The co-responder approach brings

help to those who need it the most and who also may have the most barriers to receiving treatment, Van haecke said. Engaging people about their lives helps open that door, and she’s been “blown away” by their willingness to share their stories.

“Those experiencing homelessness also have a high rate of past traumas in their life — thus, a lot of reasons not to trust,” Van haecke said. “So those times when individuals have been vulnerable and opened up to the officers and myself, it has felt very meaningful.”

Amanda McGuire walked up to collect her belongings from a shed in Englewood one day in April.

She and her partner had been living in the shed on South Washington Street with, she said, permission from residents on the property. But police issued her a court summons for trespassing and, now, she had to leave.

“It’s just ticket after ticket after ticket,” said McGuire, 40, who has been homeless for most of the past year.

Englewood police have contacted her several times in that year, sometimes as a witness or to check her well-being, but also for an open liquor container in public, according to police records.

McGuire returned to the shed that

day to retrieve her medication and walker. She and her partner, 40-yearold Nick Leewaye, still have belongings there, McGuire said in late June.

“They won’t let us have it … his birth certificate, our clothes,” McGuire said. “I have medical paperwork, and my Social Security card is in there.”

Englewood police declined to comment on the situation or whether officers tried to return the belongings, saying that the house is related to an active criminal case in the 18th Judicial District.

McGuire’s journey through homelessness goes back decades.

Born at Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, she graduated from Columbine High School in south Jefferson County in 1996. When she was 20, she said she sustained brain, spinal and pelvic injuries in a motorcycle accident. Then a student at Metropolitan State University of Denver, she had to stop attending school and stop working.

In 1999, she began sleeping in

After living with family, she moved back to Denver, eventually living in apartments and rooms in Littleton that included the Essex House Motel along South Santa Fe Drive in 2013.

She began living in her car in June 2017, but police impounded it six months later for lacking registration.

“I couldn’t afford it,” said McGuire, who started living with a woman in Parker in November. “I was spending all my money on rent — $800 for a bedroom.”

When McGuire had a seizure in the doorway on Dec. 2, the Parker woman decided she didn’t want her there anymore, McGuire said.

Without family, ‘I had no options’ Denver man ends up on street after fire damages home

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Randall Thompson, who has been homeless for 5 1/2 years in the Denver metro area, stands near the CityCenter Englewood shopping center in July with his belongings, which he carries in shopping bags stacked on a scooter. Food, documents, clothes, a camera and mail sit among the assortment. Thompson, in his late 50s, frequently comes to the CityCenter area along West Hampden Avenue, a few blocks west of South Broadway.

Most law violations by homeless individuals aren’t severe, Officer Heidi Bradley said. Many of the crimes are failures to appear in court, trespassing or having an open alcohol container in public, she said.

In his courtroom, shoplifting, trespassing and having alcohol in public are among the most common offenses for people who seem to be homeless, Jefferson said. Public urination at the Acoma Street bus stop also is common.

Most of those actions aren’t crimes when a person has a home in which to do them, Sandgren pointed out.

“Those of us who have a home have the ability to use the bathroom, have a drink or spend time in our own private residences,” Sandgren said. “The difference for people experiencing homelessness is that they do not have homes in which to do these actions.”

Travelers and locals Many in Englewood’s homeless population have roots in the city, while others come from Denver, other Colorado areas or beyond.

Police have frequent contact with about 20 homeless people who are Englewood residents, some of whom have lived there most of their lives, McGrath said.

Police contacted one homeless person recently who grew up in Cherry Hills Village, a neighboring and affluent city, McGrath said in early July.

In a patch of grass just out of the hot sun, Randall Thompson lay near the sidewalk along South Cherokee Street near the CityCenter Englewood shopping area, a scooter full of his belongings beside him.

Five hours earlier, he was on a bench three blocks west in front of the Englewood Civic Center, the building that houses the city’s offices and library. Thompson, who has been homeless for 5 1/2 years, was waiting for the library to open at 10 a.m. that Saturday, July 7.

But by the time he left, he was barred from coming to the library — that day and every day for the next year.

“I think that’s a steep punishment for not doing anything wrong,” Thompson said. He had his feet on the bench near the fountain because of a disability, he said, and a private security guard thought he was sleeping.

The guard said Thompson could sit there, but not with the scooter and heap of shopping bag-wrapped belongings, Thompson said. The security guard called Englewood police, who wrote Thompson a trespass notice that bans him from a large area extending between the nearby RTD light-rail station and South Elati Street, and between West Hampden and Floyd avenues.

According to the guard’s incident report, provided by the Englewood Police Department, the guard woke up Thompson, who said he is in his late 50s. He told Thompson he couldn’t sleep there. Thompson said he was just resting his feet and would sit until the library opened, the report said.

Englewood’s loitering law says a person staying in one place and not conducting any business can be con-

Some arrive from out of state in cars, sometimes telling police they’re here for legal pot, Jones said.

But according to a June report by the Police Executive Research Forum — an organization that takes in-depth looks at issues related to law enforcement — researchers have found no clear correlation between legal pot and homelessness.

Police officials say states with legal pot may be attracting people who may be homeless but don’t share characteristics with many chronically homeless individuals — they tend not to have mental illness or abuse alcohol or other drugs, the report said. In Colorado, they tend to be young and not in need of social services, it added.

Bradley has had a front-row seat to an influx of out-of-state travelers who come into contact with police.

tacted by officers, according to Sgt. Chad Read, spokesman for Englewood police. That would include people lying in public areas like a park or on the grass near sidewalks.

“If they’re not causing any issues, am I gonna contact them? If I don’t feel they’re in medical distress or causing a problem, I’m probably gonna be on my way,” Read said.

But, he added, it’s up to an officer’s discretion.

Read was not aware of any reason a person wouldn’t be able to have belongings with him on a scooter. The Englewood officer could have given Thompson a verbal warning rather than banning him, but that choice is up to the officer, Read said.

Thompson has been a homeowner in Denver since 1992. He paid off his house, he said, and took time off from working, planning to do home improvements. But repeated fire damage rendered his home uninhabitable, and he’s spent more than five years trying to fix it up.

The City of Denver gave him a notice in January that bars him from his property, partly due to the ongoing damage, he said.

He believes the fires were set by someone he knows, but said he is unable to prove it.

Before the notice, Thompson would work on his home during the day and rest in areas to the east.

Now, unable to stay on his property, he huddles under coats and a tarp.

He has stayed in Denver and Jefferson County, but comes to CityCenter Englewood — an area where he’s shopped for decades — to buy food.

High occupancy rates at shelters make staying outdoors a better option, Thompson said. Strangers walk up and give him money, which helps keep him afloat. He hopes he can regain access to his home and continue repairing it.

“I had no options. My sister, grandma, father died. Mom, I don’t know where she is,” said Thompson, adding he never used government assistance like food stamps. “I never relied on anybody but me ... I did everything right.”

“This year has been crazy — the increase in people who visit here but don’t live here ending up homeless in Englewood,” she said.

Face to face Police interactions with homeless people run the gamut from referrals for resources to situations that involve use of force, McGrath said.

Usually, if officers contact a homeless person, McGrath said, it stems from a call for service, which can be criminal in nature, like someone drinking in front of a business, or simply a caller not wanting homeless individuals on a sidewalk.

“When there’s a criminal violation involved, usually some degree of enforcement activity” occurs, McGrath said.

Swedish sees ‘slight increase’ in number of homeless patients

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

At the east end of Englewood’s central corridor, Swedish Medical Center treats as many as a half-dozen homeless individuals per day who come through the emergency room.

“Some seasonality occurs,” said Peter Frohmader, spokesman for Swedish Medical Center. “We typically see an increase in patient volume due to colder weather in winter.”

Almost daily, police see a homeless person transported to the emergency room after drinking too much alcohol,

Englewood police Sgt. Reid McGrath said. On the street, most overdoses are alcohol-related, but a small number are methamphetamine-induced, and even a smaller number caused by heroin, he added.

People transported to the emergency room for overdoses on the street also include people with homes, McGrath said.

But the number of homeless people being transported to Swedish appears to have increased over the past several years, McGrath said. “It’s always been an issue, but it seems to be more prevalent.”

Swedish has seen “possibly a slight increase” in the number of homeless people it serves in the past three or four years, Frohmader said, “as neighboring cities encourage relocation of homeless populations.”

That observation is based on what those patients have said, according to Sheree Montoya, director of emergency services at Swedish.

The hospital does not have data on whether patients say they usually stay in Englewood, Frohmader said.

The emergency room can get busy, but all patients’ needs are evaluated and treated as necessary, Frohmader

“Sometimes, it might be a criminal warning, which is just asking them to stop their behavior. Sometimes, a summons (is given) — occasionally an arrest.”

McGrath and the Impact Team, for instance, contact homeless people to connect them with assistance, often with help from Englewood police’s mental health co-responder, a new position added to the department in June.

“Today, I contacted a homeless individual for a very minor criminal violation,” said McGrath, adding the individual received a warning. He “was referred to Café 180 and downtown Denver services. I was able to give him a card for a free lunch at Café 180, for which he was greatly appreciative.”

Most interactions go relatively well, and for “many of them, we know each other’s names,” McGrath said. It’s important to remember that “the homeless are people and they have rights ... Many factors

brought them to where they are at.

Some have jobs, and many do not want to be in the situations they are in.”

Considering deterrents As Englewood grapples with how to respond to its homeless population, the city government is considering a

ban on outdoor camping.

Denver in 2012 banned staying in an outdoor place with a tent, sleeping bag or other shelter, a policy that advocates for the homeless say may be pushing more homeless into the suburbs. In a 2013 survey of 512 homeless people in central Denver by the advocacy group Denver

said, adding that the number of homeless patients doesn’t present an ongoing problem.

Case managers can connect all patients — not just the homeless — with shelters, substance-abuse treatment programs, psychiatric help, food banks and other resources, Montoya said.

“However, it is more challenging when patients lack stable housing,” she said. “Our case managers facilitate the stabilization of health and housing for our patients. Many of our homeless patients have difficulty gaining access to the health and social services they need to manage an illness.”

Homeless Out Loud, 20 percent of respondents said that after the ban they more often sleep in outlying neighborhoods or surrounding cities.

A large number of homeless also come to Englewood because it’s safer than Denver in terms of crime and violence, Englewood police said.

Donna Zimmerman, director at Giving Heart, the homeless-services center on South Broadway that began operating in 2011, agreed. She noted that homeless who use services in Denver may prefer to sleep in Englewood — on the river, in alleys, in parks or behind stores — to avoid safety issues at Denver shelters.

Eric Keck, Englewood’s city manager, said Englewood is looking into the topic of a camping ban, but its future isn’t certain.

“It is not as simple as it may sound and may actually be in conflict with other case law regarding the rights of individuals and the homeless,” Keck said. “Before the city were to move forward with any ordinance relating to a ban on camping, careful legal analysis and study will take place.”

Library, government offices up security

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Like other public spaces around the city, Englewood’s library has become a place where homeless individuals are a common part of the scene.

Englewood City Council in June approved expanded private security for the Englewood Civic Center, which houses the library on its first floor, the municipal court on the second floor and city offices on the third floor. The Museum of Outdoor Arts and Hampden Hall, a cultural arts facility, also sit on the second floor.

Library manager Jon Solomon said the change isn’t because of homeless individuals or any increase in incidents but, rather, long-standing security issues based on the structure of the building, a remnant of the old Cinderella City mall. The civic center sits at the west end of Englewood Parkway

near the RTD light-rail station.

On the third floor, the city has “had incursions of transients and other individuals in areas where they shouldn’t be,” City Manager Eric Keck said in June.

The city was adding security barriers and doors that require credentials to get in, Keck added.

In the 12 months ending in March, the library had recorded more than 20 incidents involving mostly alcohol and some drugs. And bloody tissues and needles, suggestive of drug injections, have been found in the men’s bathroom.

Solomon said he can’t determine how many incidents are connected to homeless patrons because the library doesn’t have information on who is homeless. But he said people with drug problems likely need a warm, dry place to use.

Kemp Kehn, a friendly homeless

man in his 40s who uses computers at the library several days a week, said the population who appears to be homeless is slowly but steadily increasing in the seven years he’s been a patron.

Between the library’s opening and closing time — on especially hot or cold days — Kehn estimates about 30 homeless patrons may come to the library. But on some days, barely any might visit. He identifies them based on whether they appear stressed or unfamiliar with the area, their clothing or whether they have many belongings with them.

Since the vast majority of all patrons don’t cause problems of any kind, it’s likely that most who appear to be homeless don’t cause incidents either, Solomon has said.

The library seemed to see less evidence of possible drug use or other incidents during a pilot program for

roughly the six months that ended in December, when Englewood police officers patrolled the civic center, Solomon said.

City council did not want to continue to have police work overtime, according to Keck.

The extended private security is now to patrol the building when the civic center is normally open to the public, including the library’s hours, as of Aug. 1.

The expansion will last for one year and may be extended by city council based on results. Previously, some hours of the day, most notably mornings and early afternoons Monday through Friday, were not covered by the security company, G4S. The guards focus on intervention but do not use physical force or make arrests, Solomon said. They rely on Englewood police for dangerous or illegal situations.

And once her car was confiscated, she could no longer get herself to her job at a brick company in Castle Rock.

A friend then brought her to Giving Heart, a homeless-services center at 4358 S. Broadway in Englewood.

She met her partner, Leewaye, at a bus stop two blocks south. A woman nearby told them they could stay on her property — a different one from the property with the shed — but a neighbor called police June 26 and said they were over the property line, McGuire said.

“Police tell us to leave Englewood all the time — where are we gonna go?” McGuire said. “There’s nowhere to go.”

Lottery systems at shelters in Denver allow homeless individuals space to stay. But McGuire said she doesn’t want to risk being sheltered apart from Leewaye, who takes care of her.

“We’re homeless, but we try to help the community,” Leewaye said.

Along with two of their friends, they pick up trash and needles off the street, McGuire said.

She lamented being ticketed for offenses like open alcohol containers and trespassing in such places as alleys.

The depression that comes with homelessness is harsh, Leewaye said, and “we’re just trying to make it.”

“Every time they give us a ticket,” McGuire said, “it’s one step back.”

But the city has moved homeless people under different legal grounds.

During a cleanup along the South Platte River in January, Englewood police cleared 21 campsites and about 30 people living on its east banks. Some 25 truckloads of trash, human waste, syringes and needles were hauled out in the area designated as a flood-control mitigation area.

The city also can move homeless people from public property under laws against loitering or trespassing.

Officers often give trespass notices — which ban a person from returning for one year — at the civic center.

In Denver, the number of trespass citations given by police to homeless individuals increased by about 31 percent from 2014 to 2017, according to a study by the University of Denver Sturm College of Law based on Denver Police Department data.

Englewood saw an increase in trespass citations overall in the years following 2012. In response to a Colorado Community Media records request, the Englewood Police Department provided data on trespass citations and calls for service from 2012-2017.

McGrath noted the department does not track data based on housing status, and it’s unclear how many citations or calls for service regarding trespassing involve homeless individuals.

But speaking generally, McGrath said, “We believe the increase in homeless population has increased calls for

service as well as summons issued for trespassing.”

From 2012 to 2015, calls for service for potential trespassing per year increased 10.7 percent citywide, from 356 to 394.

On Englewood Parkway — a road just over half a mile long — the number tripled, from 30 to 91 in that three-year period.

A verbal warning or trespass notice can be given out before trespass citations, or summonses, which require a court appearance. From 2012 to 2014, trespass citations per year increased steeply citywide, from 64 to 173. On Englewood Parkway, they leapt from nine to 102 during that time span.

In 2016, police received 518 calls citywide for service for potential trespassing, the highest number between 2012-2017, and issued 143 trespass citations. In 2017, that number declined to 435 calls and 97 citations — 35 of which happened on Englewood Parkway, which includes the civic center area, Walmart and other businesses.

Thompson, the homeless man who often comes to CityCenter, has been on the other end of a trespass call.

On a recent afternoon in July, he was resting on the grass along the street near Englewood Parkway, just hours after police barred him from the civic center area. He said he had been waiting for the library to open, resting on a nearby bench with his belongings beside him, when a security guard asked him to leave and called police, who issued him a trespass notice.

Thompson became homeless when fire damage years ago at the home he owns in Denver made it uninhabitable, he said. He has spent the past few years

ABOUT THE REPORTER Ellis Arnold spent two months researching and reporting this second part of Colorado Community Media’s series, “No Place to Call Home,” which explores how homelessness is affecting the city and the community’s approach to trying to resolve Arnold a complex societal issue. “ ‘Homeless people are criminals’ is a stereotype that conversations about homelessness have to address,” Arnold said. “It’s often much more complicated than that. This part of the series aims to look at the reality of which laws some — but certainly not all — homeless individuals break, the circumstances that surround them and how law enforcement is trying to help.”

working on his house — he often buys supplies at the CityCenter area when he can.

He sleeps in places where he can’t easily be seen throughout Denver and Jefferson County, but also spends time in Englewood. Police officers, he said, have found him a few times and they’ve been reasonable.

But he questions what options homeless people have.

“If you don’t have a place to stay, where do you go?” Thompson said.

“Anywhere you go, you’ll be trespassing.”

I used to be current. I used to know these people, these “personalities,” but that’s all changed, and I blame David Letterman.

When he retired, I retired.

I began to watch late night talk shows in 1954, when Steve Allen originated “The Tonight Show.” Admittedly, I rarely watched it because I was rarely allowed to watch it.

I liked the format. It seemed live and unscripted, although I learned that it was never live, and that some conversations were prearranged.

Who is Ariana Grande?

As a barometer of my irrelevance, I take a look now and then at the upcoming guest lists for Kimmel, Fallon, Colbert, Meyers and Corden.

(Who is Corden?)

Sure, “Up a Lazy River” in 1965 didn’t do much for me, but when they were at their peak in the 1930s, they were incredible. They were “Four Boys and a Guitar,” but seemed like a small orchestra because they made musical instrument sounds with their voices.

Bob and Ray? Professor Irwin Corey? I met them on “The Tonight Show,” along with a character named Brother Theodore, who was parts Boris Karloff and Salvador Dali.

He called his act “stand-up tragedy.”

Now? I don’t recognize names, and that makes my references dated and stale. Maybe I could hire a personal trainer to rejuvenate me, and bring me up to date.

Let’s start with Bruno Mars.

Maybe on the Twelfth? The Twelfth of Never.

Today’s music has passed me by. I let it play through. I wave it on ahead. I can’t stand it, is what it amounts to. And I know exactly what tthat means. I am the chaperone at the dance who separates the boys and girls who are rubbing up against each other.

Before my warm milk and a nap, I just wanted to admit the truth about my condition.

I don’t want to wind up like Joe Franklin, who was still interviewing people five years after he died.

But seriously.

I guess there is some good news. Except for Corden, I still recognize the names of the late-night hosts. Eventually, I won’t and then I know it will be time to wander off with Larry “Bud” Melman.

before the conversation takes place. Even if we feel so strongly about wanting to talk “at” someone. If we are to be heard, we need to make sure that the playing field is level, and that the other person will be in active listening and participation mode. And we need to be in active listening mode too.

The agenda is really very simple. First, we agree on the topic that we will be discussing. Secondly, we set the stage that we both might have questions about the topic or incident or subject and that we are both given permission to ask those questions. The third part of our agreed-upon agenda is that we will stay on topic and not drift into other areas that aren’t really relevant to the conversation we want to have.

And lastly and most importantly we set the stage for a positive outcome at the end of our time together.

Here’s how it might sound, “Mary, thanks for meeting with me today. Today I was hoping we could talk about the last few association meetings we attended together. I would love to hear more about what you were thinking and some of your actions and responses, so is it okay if I ask you some questions while we are talking? I would also like to share a little about

how that made me feel and I am sure you might have some of your own questions too. I really do appreciate our friendship, so I hope we can stay focused on this topic today and that by the end of our coffee time and conversation that we will both have a better understanding of how each other is feeling about our projects and our association meetings. Would you like to add anything to our list of topics? Does this sound fair and like a good way to talk through this?”

Equal time for both parties, mutual understanding of what is to be discussed, and agreement on the rules of engagement will always turn a monologue into a meaningful conversation. Everyone’s agenda is important to them, and as long as both people or parties have a chance to express their thoughts in a safe environment, it will give room for both agendas to be discussed.

So how about you? Have you ever been talked “at”?

Have you ever found yourself being the one to talk “at” someone else? Either way I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com and when we can learn to listen first in order to be heard, it really will be a better than good week.

Outdoor art event is picture of perfection

Bigger and TASTIER than ever

Hundreds of vendors from around the region will be on hand at this year’s A Taste of Colorado.

Labor Day weekend event features good grub and great tunes

hat does it take to cook turkey legs for upward of half a million people?

Rick Seewald, the owner of Parker’s Sweet Lorraine’s Catering, is pretty straightforward about it: “Well, a really big grill helps.”

Seewald and his crew will cook up thousands of turkey legs in a 200-square-foot booth at A Taste of Colorado, the legendary Labor Day weekend event that transforms Denver’s Civic Center Park into a smorgasbord of the state’s culinary offerings. This year’s festival runs Sept. 1-3.

Say “Taste of Colorado” to many Denver-area residents, and the first two things that come to mind are corn on the cob and turkey legs.

But the Taste, now in its 35th year, is growing into a food and musical event to rival the state’s big bashes, said spokeswoman Cary Krukowski.

“Best of all, admission is free,” said Krukowski.

Organizers beefed up the Taste this year, with a main stage triple the size of the old one, Krukowski said.

A smaller stage will host musicians from around Colorado. The musical offerings are the largest in the festival’s history.

The main stage musical lineup is split into three days. Saturday is classic rock, featuring REO Speedwagon, Firefall and George

IF YOU GO When: Saturday, Sept 1 to Monday, Sept. 3 Where: Civic Center Park, sandwiched between the Denver City and County Building and the Colorado State Capitol at Broadway and Colfax Ave. Cost: Admission is free, but food and vendors aren’t. Guests can book VIP tickets for concerts that offer food, drinks, and primo seats. One-day VIP tickets are $119 each (plus fees and taxes) and can be booked at atasteofcolorado.com.

Thorogood. Sunday goes country with LeAnn Rimes, David Nail and Mitchell Tenpenny. Monday features an epic ‘90s throwback lineup: Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Everclear and Soul Asylum.

“We’re taking the whole experience up a notch,” Krukowski said.

“Denver has grown substantially in the last few years, and there are lots of people who have never attended A Taste of Colorado. We wanted to freshen it up while retaining the classic feel the die-hards love.”

New this year is the Capitol VIP Experience, where for $119 a ticket plus fees and taxes, guests can watch the big shows from a special deck beside the main stage, meet Broncos players, and kick back with exclusive meals and drinks.

The festival will also host nearly 200 artisans and vendors in the Mountain and Plain Marketplace.

It wouldn’t be A Taste of Colorado without turkey legs.

Dozens of the state’s best restaurants will have booths at A Taste of Colorado.

ate summer moving into early fall is my favorite time of year in Colorado. Usually, the heat is dying down and nature is starting to show off its fall colors. In other words, it’s the perfect time of the year to spend outdoors.

If the weather isn’t excuse enough to explore some of the beautiful open spaces around Jefferson County, PLAN Jeffco’s In Plein Sight festival is back Sept. 10-15 to add an artistic touch to nature. The free, six-day public painting event features 25 professional artists painting at different Jeffco Open Space locations. The completed works can be seen at the Golden Community Center, 1470 10th St. in Golden, Sept.

12-16, with new works being added as they are comCOMING pleted.

ATTRACTIONS “We want to get people into parks and see what can be done in them,” said John Litz, PLAN Jeffco board member and event chair. PLAN is a nonprofit organization that advocates for open space.

Clarke Reader “And, if they see art being created they like, they can take a little of the park home.”

All the artists are creating work In plein air, which means “open air,” and was developed in the mid-19th century by French impressionists including Monet, Pissarro and Renoir. The nine returning artists and 16 new ones will spend each day in different locations, like Lair O’ the Bear Park, Elk Meadow Park, and along the Clear Creek Trail in downtown Golden. Art fans can watch the artists work for free and buy the paintings if they find something that moves them.

When In Plein Sight hosted its first event in 2016, more than $35,000 of artwork was sold.

“It has become more important than ever to preserve our open space as the Colorado population continues to boom,” Litz said. “We feel this event is the perfect way to celebrate our parks and inspire a new generation to learn how to both conserve and enjoy the gorgeous landscape that draws so many to our beautiful state.”

Rec center to close for annual maintenance

The Englewood Recreation Center will be closed Aug. 27 to Sept. 4 for the annual maintenance week, with the gymnasium and pool areas being closed for longer periods.

The center’s goal is to always provide the best experience possible, and this includes upgrading equipment, improving facilities, conducting repairs, performing dusting and cleaning, modernizing aesthetics, and providing safety improvements whenever the budget allows.

In addition to conducting annual maintenance this summer, the center will conduct upgrades to the pool area, gymnasium and water stations.

The pool area will be completely repainted. The gymnasium will also get a complete paint makeover, and the floor

will be repainted and resurfaced. Several water stations will be upgraded to refrigerated systems to provide colder water for guests, which has been a popular request.

The Englewood Recreation Center is at 1155 W. Oxford Ave., Englewood. Contact the center at 303-762-2680.

Closure schedule Aug. 20-26: Gymnasium closed for painting. All other facilities and areas remain open.

Aug. 27 to Sept. 2: Entire rec center closed. Guest services will be available during normal weekday business hours to answer questions, help with class registration and answer the phones.

Sept. 3-7: Gymnasium and pool area remains closed.

All other facilities and areas open.

Sept. 8: Expect all facilities and areas open.

It may have been a good thing to help burn off some of the energy and excitement of a new school year in a new school.”

The comments were similar at Charles Hay World School.

“The kids were thrilled by everything in our new building so it was a great first day of school in spite of the typical first-day-ofschool kinks that had to be worked out,” said Megan Walcott, Hay secretary. “The new building is wonderful and things here are so much better.”

The two newly opened schools were made possible by the 2016 voter-passed bond issue.

When the other two elementary schools are completed by 2020 there will be all new classroom buildings in Englewood School

District.

The first two schools were built on existing land adjacent to the school while classes were in session.

However, the construction of Cherrelyn and Bishop elementary schools will require students to be shifted to other buildings for classes.

The Cherrelyn students are going to classes at the old Clayton Elementary School and will remain there for the entire 2018-19 year. The Bishop students will go to classes at the former Maddox Elementary School from January 2019 until their new school is completed in January 2020. Maddox Early Childhood Education students will be in their existing building until December, and start in their new building in January 2019.

Bus transportation for Bishop and Cherrelyn students to their new buildings will be provided for student whose parents request it.

Rocky Mountain field guide is blessing for flower lovers Denver Botanic Gardens experts produce volume with 1,200 photos

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver Botanic Gardens botanists have worked for more than three years to produce a really comprehensive guide to the many spectacular flowers that bloom in the Rocky Mountains each year.

They range from 50 kinds of blue penstemon to rare and retiring orchids — totaling 1,200 species from eight states and Canada.

Each is identified by a photograph and location map, a de-

scription, popular name, where found and when, and if native.

Some are noted as highly toxic or used as native medicine — or in the case of Aquilegia coerulea, Colorado blue columbine, it’s the state flower of Colorado.

Four varieties are identified, and the reader learns that “all columbines hybridize freely.”

After months of listing, photographing, sorting and organizing, the Botanic Gardens has issued a sturdy, handsome, flexible book to carry in your backpack to identify as you go — or used another way, it might suggest where and when you’d want to go to hunt for a particular species ...

The inside covers and endpapers have explanatory blackand-white drawings illustrating the parts of a flower and dif-

ferent leaf forms so one can be certain what one has found.

The concise introduction

by Panayoti Kelaidis sets the scene, with descriptions of the areas covered by this book: The Northern, Middle and Southern Rockies (Colorado is in the Southern Rockies), a bit on plant distribution, on elevation is various regions, and a clear reminder to “leave no trace” — and pick no flower!

A section follows on “How To Use This Book”: description, names, abundance, bloom season, growth cycle, height. Then one must recognize life zones: alpine, subalpine, montane, foothills, pinyon-juniper, sagebrush steppes, intermountain parks (especially in Southern and Middle Rockies), high plains, wetlands — with photos

to help.

Then, how botanists classify plant families, with some clues about appearance. Finally, 1,200 well-organized photographs and descriptions, divided by color: green, maroon and brown, red, blue, white, yellow.

And finally, a section on what scientific names mean, a glossary of descriptive words, a section on sources and resources.

The authors include: Sonya Anderson, Mike Bone, Nick Daniels, Dan Johnson, Panayoti Kelaidis, Mike Kintgen, Sarada Krishnan (director of horticulture), Cindy Newlander, Savannah Putnam, Jen Towes, Katy Wieczorek.

“Wildflowers of the Rocky Mountain Region” is available at the Denver Botanic Gardens and at bookstores for $27.95.

More, larger homes present ‘bigger target for hailstorms’ Experts search for reasons behind increasing costs of damage from hail

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hailstorms inflict billions of dollars in damage yearly in North America alone, and the cost will rise as the growing population builds more homes, offices and factories, climate and weather experts said.

The role of climate change in hailstorms is harder to assess, the experts said Aug. 14 at a conference at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.

Climate change will likely make large hailstorms worse, but population growth is more of a certainty, said Andreas Prein, a climate modeling scientist at the atmospheric research center.

“We know pretty certain that we will have more people in the future, and they will have more stuff, and this stuff can be damaged,” Prein said. “I think this component is more certain than what we can say about climate change at the moment.”

This year is expected to be the 11th in a row in which the damage from severe storms exceeds $10 billion in the United States, and 70 percent of that cost comes from hail, said Ian Giam-

‘We know pretty certain that we will have more people in the future, and they will have more stuff, and this stuff can be damaged.

I think this component is more certain than what we can say about climate change ...’

Andreas Prein, Climate modeling scientist, National Center for Atmospheric Research manco, a research meteorologist for the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety.

“It’s such a huge driver of the dollar loss each year,” he said.

Costs are rising in the U.S. because homes are getting bigger, from about 1,700 square feet in the early 1980s to 2,500 square feet in 2015, he said. New subdivisions also pack homes in more tightly, Giammanco said.

“So it’s a bigger target for hailstorms to hit,” he said.

The effects of climate change on hail and the resulting damage are harder to calculate because hailstorms require distinct ingredients, and global warming affects them in different ways, Prein said.

To form, hailstorms require moisture, an updraft, variable winds and

freezing temperatures at lower levels of the storm cloud, he said.

Updrafts lift water droplets into the clouds, where they attract other droplets and freeze together, scientists say. Winds of varying speed and direction keep the droplets suspended in the cloud long enough to grow into hailstones. When they eventually fall, freezing temperatures in the cloud keep them from melting before they hit warmer air closer to the ground.

Climate change will likely increase updrafts, helping hailstones form, Prein said.

But it will inhibit two hail-producing conditions, he said. Warmer temperatures will expand higher into the atmosphere, so falling hailstones have more time to melt before hitting the ground. And differences in wind speed

and direction will subside, he said.

Climate change will make the atmosphere more moist, but the effect that will have on hailstones isn’t clear, he said.

Kristen Rasmussen, an assistant professor at Colorado State University, said the combined effects of climate change will probably inhibit the number of weaker storms but increase the number of severe ones.

“So we actually think that’s why we’re seeing a decrease in the number of weak to moderate storms and an increase in the most severe storms,’’ she said. “If those storms are able to break through this inhibition, they ... have the potential to be more severe, and they can tap into more energy when they do so.”

The researchers said they need more data to understand the relationship between climate change and hailstorms.

Improved science could also help predict hailstorms and calculate risks better, they said.

The Rocky Mountains of Colorado, the Andes in South America and the Himalayas all have conditions that make them hotspots for hail, Rasmussen said.

A May 2017 hailstorm in the Denver area caused $2.3 billion in insurance losses. Earlier this month, hail injured 14 people in Colorado Springs and killed at least five animals at the city zoo. Damage estimates were still being compiled.

Swim Across America’s Denver Open Water Swim is coming to the Chatfield Reservoir Aug. 26.

Swim Across America is a national organization that raises money for cancer research through local swimming events. There are 20 individual Swim Across America events throughout the country.

The Denver chapter strives to raise money to “make waves to fight pediatric cancer,” said Nicole Vanderpoel, the chapter’s organizer, so patients don’t have to travel long distances to get proper treatment.

The Denver Open Water Swim is led by Rock Canyon High School swim coach Nicole Vanderpoel. For some patients, battling cancer can be costly if they have to travel to find a hospital with proper treatment.

“All of our funds for cancer research and clinical trials are absolutely necessary,” Vanderpoel said.

“The funds stay in Colorado and the families can stay in Colorado too if we continue to provide.”

Chatfield Reservoir will be closed to the public, and will be open only for

the Swim Across America Event.

Swimmers can choose to participate in the half-mile, one-mile or 5K events.

All ages and skill levels are encouraged to come. Kids who are nervous to swim in open water can choose to splash around in the Balloon Splash area as well. Lifeguards will be on watch.

All proceeds go to Children’s Hospital Colorado for Cancer Research and Blood Disorders. Children’s Hospital has been the sole beneficiary of the event for four years.

Registration is $100 per participant.

Participants can register either as an individual or join or create a fundraising team.

Each individual and team can set a goal for how much money they want to raise. Individuals must raise a minimum of $400, fee included.

Teams must raise a minimum of $4,000. Registration remains open until the event begins at 8 a.m. Swimming begins at 9 a.m.

In addition to the day’s events, 14 Olympians from 1980 to 2016 will be at the event for support, including Olympic gold-medalist and Regis Jesuit graduate Missy Franklin.

Autographs will be given from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. on the day of the event.

The night before, Franklin will speak at the VIP dinner at the Cherry Hills Country Club.

Medical-assistant apprenticeship Arapahoe Community College and Centura Health have launched Colorado’s first registered medicalassistant apprenticeship program.

A dozen students are enrolled in the initial cohort.

“We are excited to embark upon this unique partnership with Centura Health to benefit both students and industry,” ACC President Diana M. Doyle said in a news release. “We

extend our gratitude to everyone at Centura Health, the Greater Metro Denver Health Care Partnership and local workforce centers who are committed to supporting this program.

Our efforts will provide a sustainable pipeline of talented medical assistants across the Centura network.”

The six-month hybrid program includes online, on-site and hands-on laboratory components.

Paid apprentices work collaboratively with Centura Health supervisors for 26 weeks (32 hours/week) before taking the National Healthcare Association Medical Assistant certification exam. Apprentices who successfully complete both components become full-time medical assistants with Centura.

For information about the apprenticeship, contact ACC Dean of Business, Technology and Workforce Partnerships Eric Dunker, Ph.D., at eric.dunker@arapahoe.edu or 303797-5859.

TASTE

This year’s A Taste of Colorado will be the biggest ever, organizers say.

FROM PAGE 14

True to the festival’s name, though, the heart and soul of the festival is the grub. More than 50 restaurants and food trucks will set up shop, Krukowski said.

The festival is great exposure for some of the area’s hidden-gem restaurants, said Brett Carson, owner of Large Marge’s Philly Cheesesteaks of Wheat Ridge.

“Lots of people don’t know this little place in Wheat Ridge is turning out such great cheesesteaks,” Carson said.

Expats from the City of Brotherly Love dig Large Marge’s because it’s the real deal, Carson said.

“We use bread and shaved ribeye flown in at least twice a week from Philadelphia,” Carson said. “It’s not those little frozen hockey pucks of meat. It’s all fresh-cooked to order — no heat lamps here.”

Food vendors bring their A-game to Taste, Carson said, which makes it a joy for restaurateurs too.

“It’s so cool to see what others from around the state offer,” Carson said.

“We’re so darn busy that we don’t get to walk around much, but we always make friends — and do some great food-trading.”

For plenty of guests, though, a stop at the Sweet Lorraine’s booth is a must.

“A lot of customers tell us it’s the highlight of their year,” Seewald said.

“They say summer isn’t complete until they’ve had a turkey leg at the Taste of Colorado.”

Close to 200 artisans and vendors will hawk their wares, ranging from local honey, henna tattoos, clothes, soap and plenty more.

Kids will have plenty to do at the South Platte Kids Zone, where youngsters can watch musicans and dancers, and get food — like mac and cheese and hot dogs — more suited for the youthful palate.

Putting a focus on FUEL Eating right and staying hydrated are crucial elements of high school sports success

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

thletes and coaches are paying more attention to the role of nutrition, with an eye toward improving sports performance.

“We just used to eat meat and potatoes,” said Amy Faricy, manager of Menu Services for the Douglas County School District, “but people have really come around.”

Athletes must eat enough calories, while consuming the right types of foods and avoiding the wrong ones, stay hydrated and not succumb to the quick-fix promises of supplements, coaches and nutrition experts say.

Being smarter about what they eat doesn’t mean all teenage athletes have nutrition down to a science. One of the biggest problems is simply not eating enough, which often includes skipping the day’s first meal, said Jenna Moore, a performance dietitian for the Panorama Wellness and Sports

Institute in Highlands Ranch.

“Breakfast is essential,” she said.

“If these kids are going from dinner to lunch the next day, that could be 18 hours without any food. These (athletes) with very fast metabolisms need to be eating frequently.”

In a sport like cross country, in which endurance is critical and calories are burned at a high rate, nutrition’s role can’t be overlooked.

“We talk about proper nutrition and fueling your body like an athlete frequently,” said Mountain Vista cross country coach Jonathan Dalby. “Most of what we teach our athletes are basic principles of good eating.

“We emphasize with the kids that they should eat plenty of calories, good fats, carbohydrates and protein.

Keep things like sugar, bad fats and empty calories in moderation. If our athletes are hungry, we want them to eat. This is their bodies’ way of telling them that they need more fuel.”

Faricy said eating frequently during the day with small snacks can avoid gaps in energy levels. Meals hours before competition are important, and helping muscles recover after a competition with a meal, snack or a drink like chocolate milk is also crucial.

FOOTBALL Overview There will be a lot new this season, starting with league alignments.

The season will start a week earlier, on Aug. 24 .

Creek was top-ranked in the CHSAANow.com preseason poll with Valor Christian third, Pomona fourth, Ralston Valley ninth and Highlands Ranch 10th. Arapahoe and Chaparral received votes.

Ponderosa, which graduated a lot of key starters, was ranked eighth in the 4A poll.

FUEL FROM PAGE 25

Christina Chisler, a registered dietitian with Jefferson County Public Schools, said the timing of a pregame meal is important.

“It is recommended an athlete eat a meal two to three hours before the competition or practice to supply energy to their muscles and delay fatigue,” she wrote in an email.

Another tip from Chisler: “A good rule of thumb is also never to introduce a new food on a race/game day.”

Horizon football coach Frank Ybarra said athletes have plenty to learn about good eating habits.

“To a point, I think high school athletes are smarter but that may be more because the parents are better informed on good nutrition,” Ybarra said. “A lot of athletes are still looking for the next great quick fix that they can purchase at a supplement store.”

Some supplements, such as multivitamins, protein and some recovery drinks, can be beneficial, Ybarra said. But popular supplements purported to build muscle and boost performance, like creatine and nitric oxide, are not needed, he said.

Moore agrees that knowing which supplements are helpful and which are harmful is integral to young athletes’ success — and that ultimately, pills and powders can’t replace what’s on a plate.

“There are a lot of good supplements like vitamins, especially vitamin B,” she sad.

“Then there are supplements that are pre-workout that are basically energy drinks in a powder form. That’s not doing anything for your energy level

FALL 2018 SPORTS PREVIEW except giving you a blast of caffeine. What is happening is, athletes are not dealing correctly with their food and their energy levels are low, and instead of trying to get food, they go to the nutrition stores looking for help for their energy levels.”

Perhaps as important as anything athletes put in their bodies is water.

“Being hydrated is essential for peak performance,” Dalby said. “Our athletes typically have a water bottle with them wherever they go.”

Valor Christian golf coach Jason Preeo is no stranger to performing at the highest level — he played in the 2010 U.S. Open. To him, nutrition is more of a mental matter than a physical one.

“The effort and energy to hit any one shot is not great, but as energy levels drop the ability to continually make good decisions diminishes,” he said, “and golfers tend to make mental mistakes that are typically much more costly.”

While coaches in all sports today emphasize the importance of eating right, they are dealing with teenagers, and that means candy bars and chips are still going to be part of the equation at times.

Highlands Ranch softball player Taryn Dragseth, a senior, admits she sometimes eats junk food. But overall, she’s says she’s focused on eating right and has noticed the increased importance coaches put on that.

“Definitely eating right is more important now,” she said.

“Like two years ago, it was never mentioned. Now, we have certain things we are supposed to eat throughout the day. I’ve noticed that a lot more recently, especially as we get older. I think it is a maturity thing, too.”

Careful consumption is crucial

SOFTBALL Overview There are some new things this season, including: • The coach, pitcher or catcher of the defensive team may request an intentional walk either before or during the pitch count.

• Equipment no longer has to be inspected by the umpire or placed outside the dugout/bench prior to the start of a game. Responsibility for ensuring that players are legally and properly equipped rests with the head coach and school administration.

• Umpires now have the authority to allow a reasonable number of warm-up pitches to an incoming pitcher due to circumstances that required a pitcher to be removed by rule or injury. Previously, there were no guidelines for the incoming

pitcher under these circumstances.

Defending 5A state champion Legend returns six starters and both of its pitchers from last season. The Titans face a rugged non-league schedule and then jump into the competitive Continental League play, where Legend has to compete against strong teams led by Douglas County.

Valor Christian, a dominant team in 4A the past four years, moves up into Class 5A with a team loaded with players that gained experience last season. Fossil Ridge, 5A runnerup to Legend, and semifinalist Legacy also return a notable nucleus of players from the 2017 campaign.

Legend was ranked No. 1 in the preseason CHSAANow.com preseason Class 5A poll followed by Fossil Ridge. Legacy was fourth, Valor

Christian ninth and Douglas County 10th.

Top returning players The following are some of the top returning players in the south metro area: Zoey LeCompte, Legend; Payton Lincavage, Legend; Alley Kim, Douglas County; Katie Meredith, Valor Christian; Maggie Swank, Englewood; Savannah Behaetz, Valor Christian; Savanna Reiners, Douglas County; Olivia Bradley, Legend; Annie Rouke, Mountain Vista; Kennady Warder, Mountain Vista; Julia Qualteri, Pondersoa; Bridgette Strobl, ThunderRidge; Alexa Cordes, Castle View; Haley Hoy, Castle View; Kiah Parker, Castle View; Moranda Ramey, Chaparral; Katie Hilsman, Douglas Coun-

Owner of Lakewood bakery sues state A new cake has again put Masterpiece Cakeshop at the center of the religious freedom debate

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jack Phillips was catapulted into the national spotlight when he refused to make a cake for a gay couple, because of his religious beliefs. The Lakewood baker won a highly publicized, but narrowly worded United States Supreme Court case decision in June, but his days in court are not over.

Phillips, the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, has sued Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and state civil rights officials, alleging that the state has “been on a crusade to crush (Phillips) because its officials despise what he believes and how he practices his faith,” according to a complaint filed Aug. 14.

His latest case stems from June 2017 when Autumn Scardina, an attorney from Arvada, called the cake shop and asked them to bake a cake that was pink on the inside and blue on the outside. The cake was meant to symbolize her transition from male to female, and Scardina said the employee who she was speaking to hung up the phone

when she said what the cake meant.

Phillips denied the request, because of what the cake would have symbolized, and he felt it would have gone against his religious beliefs, according to a statement from the Alliance Defending Freedom, the law firm defending Phillips. The day Scardina made the call to Masterpiece Cakeshop was the same day that the Supreme Court agreed to take up the Masterpiece Cakeshop vs. the Colorado Civil Rights Commission case regarding Phillips refusing to bake the cake for the gay couple.

The state notified Phillips that it found probable cause that Colorado law requires his business to bake the cake for Scardina, only weeks after the Supreme Court ruled in his favor for refusing to do business with a gay couple in 2012. Scardina officially filed the complaint in July of 2017 to the Colorado Division of Civil Rights.

“I believe that other people who request birthday cakes get to select the color and theme of the cake. I believe that I was not allowed to order a birthday cake because I requested that its color and theme celebrate my transition from male to female,” Scardina said in the complaint. The complaint indicates that her upcoming birthday would mark the seventh anniversary of her transition.

Phillips’ court case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The lawsuit is asking Colorado officials to stop punishing Phil-

Jack Phillips works on decorating a cake in his bakery in Lakewood.

JOSEPH RIOS lips for declining to create cake messages that violate his faith. Phillips’ lawyers will wait for the defendants to respond to the lawsuit, and their response can take up to one month. “(The day Scardina called) was a busy, kind of crazy day. We tried to explain that we’d do any other custom work, or sell any other cakes we had in the shop. That was a cake, because of the message, that we couldn’t create,” Phillips said.

The lawsuit names a number of Colorado officials, including Hickenlooper, Colorado Attorney General Cynthia Coffman, Colorado Civil Rights

Commission members Jessica Pocock, Miguel “Michael” Rene Elias, Anthony Aragon, Carol Fabrizio, Charles Garcia, Rita Lewis and Colorado Civil Rights Division Aubrey Elenis.

Hickenlooper told the media that he wasn’t involved in the commission’s ruling regarding Phillips and Scardina, but he does expect the case to go to the Supreme Court.

“The first ruling from the Supreme Court did not address the (religious freedom matter), Hickenlooper said.

“That’s what I think the U.S. Supreme Court will have to address with time.”

Daniel Ramos, executive director of One Colorado, an advocacy organization for LGBTQ people and their families in Colorado, said the ADF has tried to launch similar lawsuits in the past that targeted laws and civil rights agencies.

“All people — including LGBTQ people — deserve to be served equally in public spaces, and no religious belief gives anyone the right to pick and choose whom they serve and what laws they want to follow,” Ramos said.

ADF Senior Counsel Jim Campbell said it’s clear that state officials are targeting Phillips, because they “despise his religious beliefs and practices.”

“Jack shouldn’t have to fear government hostility when he opens his shop for business each day. We’re asking the court to put a stop to that,” Campbell said.

our money,” says Fritz Gilbert as he was interviewed for the article. “Not making a decision is still making a decision. Spend the money to buy that `thing’ and you’ve made a decision to work longer.”

Regardless of whether we are ready to stop working, it is widely published that most Americans have not planned well for retirement.

Baby boomers, roughly 75 million — those born between 1946 and 1964 — have a median nest egg of $164,000. ¹ The Insured Retirement Institute study found 42 percent of baby boomers have no retirement savings.

Among those that do have savings, 38 percent have less than $100,000 set aside for retirement.

The majority of the bubble genera-

In addition to having an awareness that there needs to be a plan, make sure it includes inflation, taxes, health and elder care expenses, longevity and market fluctuations at the bare minimum. Then start layering your own wishes for a certain standard of living, including sustainable housing, transportation and care as you age.

The feared epidemic of millions of baby boomers scrambling for retirement dollars is getting closer every day with 10,000 people turning 65 every 24 hours.

By 2029, 18 percent of the U.S. population will be age 65 or older. This will likely change the entire economy, including what goods and services are available and how investments perform. ² Millions of people will rely on Social Security for the main staple of their income in retirement. However, Social Security was never designed to be

the sole support for retirees. At the time Social Security was created (83 years ago this month), the average life expectancy in this country was 61.³ It was designed to be one leg of a three-legged stool. Pension plans and personal savings were to provide the other two legs to keep the stool upright throughout retirement.

Nowadays, with fewer retirees expecting to receive pension income, and lack of personal savings, the deficit is growing rapidly.

We need to start with education and awareness.

Then people need to be willing to accept a dose of reality and outline where they are financially. Then it is time to seek a professional to create a strategy to get you on the right path to financial independence.

This is a complex situation that takes some time and commitment to better control your personal outcome.

Hopefully your lack of planning does

not have you dying on the job. It’s never too late to get started building the right kind of plan for you.
