Council faces smoker-filled room Vote on restricting where people can take a puff pushed to Nov. 3

Littleton City Council gave riled-up downtown merchants and smokers a little extra breathing room on Sept. 1, delaying a vote on proposed downtown smoking limits until Nov. 3.

“As these things evolve, you

learn more and more, and one of the things that’s important to all of us is to engage the community,” said Councilmember Bill Hopping, who represents the affected downtown district. “It seems there has been a failure to do that. There’s a lot of good stuff in (the proposed ordinance), a lot of good intent, but perception is reality.”

People who filled the council chamber were more than ready to let their representatives know what they think about the bill.

It would limit smoking to alleys, parking lots and private resi-

dences in the entire downtown area bordered by Santa Fe Drive, Rio Grande Avenue, Alamo Avenue and Powers Avenue.

It would have outlawed outdoor smoking patios as originally written, but after a substantial amount of protest, city staff now recommends leaving those alone, to the relief of fans of The Tavern and Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub. The chamber was nearly full of people opposing the measure, and about 20 stood in front of the dais to say so. Just three expressed support, including a representative from Tri-County

Health. Another was Kim Glidden, the downtown merchant who spurred the proposal by complaining to council that her neighbor, Russ Robinson, smokes outside of their stores on a regular basis.

“Too many people, who may be lovely people, because they’re addicted to nicotine, do not necessarily act courteously,” she said, showing a photo on the overhead of Robinson caught in the act. “I believe people are deterred from walking toward my Smoking continues on Page 4

Inaugural event features local craft beers

Local brews and beautiful views lured hundreds to Hudson Gardens and Event Center on the very warm afternoon of Sept. 5.

“This is absolutely a great event,” said Dylan Franck, who spent most of the afternoon with his family at the first Brews and Views Beer Fest. “They should do this every day.”

Millennials flocking to Colorado for jobs and new, more liberal social policies.

Baby boomers retiring in droves, looking to downsize.

Those are just a couple of reasons there are long lines of prospective tenants at apartment leasing offices, competing for rare vacancies in the Denver metro area.

Apartment rents are up at least 5 percent in most metro-area cities since summer 2014, but there is no shortage of people willing to pay them.

In south metro-area communities, renters and those still looking for a place are faced with some of the highest rates in the state, with the average one-bedroom going for more than $1,000 a month in most places. For two bedrooms, it’s generally around $1,500 or more, according to apartmentlist.com.

Meanwhile, available units are hard to come by. The vacancy rate in the metro area was 4.5 percent as of June, according to the Metro Denver Economic Development Corp. The national average is about 7 percent, the U.S. Census Bureau reports.

Making their marks in Centennial Chalk Art Festival will be held Sept. 19, 20

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Larimer Arts Association will present its first Centennial Chalk Art Festival on Sept. 19 and 20 at Centennial Center Park.

More than 150 professional, amateur and student artists will showcase their Italian style of street art — a custom of painting that dates back to the 1600s.

Colorado Community Media spoke with one of the featured artists, Jennifer Mosquera.

How’d you get into art?

I have been creating with my hands since I was a small child, and after I left the law I found myself doing design work and started to believe in my vision and really focus on my creative work. It was a hard process to find a way to make my work as a living, but something that I could not shake. Really I felt like I had to see if I could make it work as I could not see my life do anything else. I like to work in acrylic paint, glass mosaic, pen and ink and have started to do installations that are geared toward creating immersive environments.

What is it about art that keeps you coming back?

There is a feeling of losing yourself when you create work. It is like a meditation or being calm and balanced and zen-like. The world melts away, and when I re-emerge from this “place” there is always a sense of wonder that I have about what I have created. It is almost as if I was not really the artist, but rather just a tool of something or someone else. Maybe it is akin to a runner’s high, but it is really a feeling like no other. Something that you want to return to — a place of peace and a little magic.

What’s the most rewarding part of it all?

My connection with the work, as well

Jennifer Mosquera will be a featured artist at the Centennial Chalk Art Festival on Sept.

19 and 20 at Centennial Center Park. Here, she shows off some of her work in Denver.

Courtesy photo as the connection that I make with others that find meaning in my work. Seeing that commonality with another really brings this human experience into perspective.

We all have common emotions, experiences, and can share them through a piece of work. That is pretty amazing to create something that brings people together, and often brings joy.

What sets chalk art apart from other forms?

Its ephemeral nature. It is made only to be enjoyed in the moment. A rainstorm can come and take it away at the quickest turn. Chalk is such an approachable medium (who has not created on a sidewalk with chalk?) and it allows the viewer to

participate in the creation. In a small way it creates a conversation and community around a piece. It really is a cool way to share creation, beauty and connection with people you would not have ever met before.

What was your favorite piece you ever worked on and why?

I had an awesome opportunity some years ago to design and lead a team in creating a 28-foot-by-35-foot work in chalk on the tarmac at DIA as outreach for the Denver Chalk Art Festival. I believe that the team was about 20 people. We were racing a tornado warning and a rainstorm. But we came together as a team and finished it. It started to pour as we left

It probably was only finished before the storm took it away for about 20 minutes … but for that time … it was a special piece for the people in the planes on either side of the gate and in the terminal watching down over us. A moment between storms, a little bit of beauty. It was pretty cool to be a hand in all of that.

City green-lights Grove development Controversial plan for old sheriff’s building in Littleton draws criticism

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com The old sheriff’s building at 2100 W. Littleton Blvd. is finally set to meet its maker.

City staff on Sept. 4 approved The Grove, a multimilliondollar, mixed-use project by Zocalo Community Development.

It will have 160 high-end apartments for people 55 and older, along with nearly 11,000 square feet of retail space, a parking garage and an amphitheater.

“I consistently hear from empty-nester residents who are ready to downsize but want to stay in Littleton,” said Mayor Phil Cernanec. “Littleton doesn’t have many options for those who want an alternative to a single-family home.”

But look for Citizens for Rational Development, an activist group that formed to oppose the last project proposed for the site, to not give up without a fight.

“It is very disappointing that city staff has chosen to approve this plan without any public process and despite numerous noncompliances with its own municipal zoning code,” said Leah Burkette, who lives next door to the site. “The neighbors of Bemis Street and citizens of Littleton deserve better. We will appeal this decision to Littleton’s board of adjustment.”

The last proposal, called Broadstone, required a rezone and public hearings; it eventually fell to a council vote of 6-1. This time it was approved administratively by city staff, who determined it falls within the current zoning.

But CRD questions that premise. They have a long list of arguments, but the main one has to do with the fact that the current zoning says no more than 50 percent of the site can be residential, a requirement meant to encourage retail uses that contribute to the city’s general fund. Zocalo deemed the parking garage commercial to meet the requirement, saying the spaces will be leased separately from the apartments to tenants who want them, with any extras available for the public to lease.

“Essentially the project is being built as if the rezoning had been approved, when in fact a rezoning has been denied,” they write in a position paper.

This is the third time the property’s owner, attorney Steve Anderson, has tried to sell it. He bought the property in 2003, remodeled it into modern office space and moved in. Neighbors battled back similar plans in 2006 and 2013.

“I don’t think the building belongs here,” he said in 2013. “It needs to be something so much better than what it is.”

This time plans include an outdoor swimming pool, dog park, bike shop and an urban garden. Zocalo, named 2012 Developer of the Year by the Denver Business Journal, is constructing a project similar to The Grove at Stapleton in Denver opening October 2015.

“The Grove will offer residents the opportunity to enjoy an active, worry-free lifestyle and all of the benefits of being close to downtown Littleton, the Littleton Community Trail, the Buck Recreation Center and the light-rail station,” said Cernanec.

From nay to OK on display Littleton City Council lifts cap on outdoor merchandise

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com In the end, Littleton’s great sidewalk debate turned out to be much ado about pretty much nothing.

“Thank you for working with the merchants and coming to a compromise position we can all live with,” said Russ Robinson, the downtown merchant whose feud with his neighbor has been at the center of the debate. “I’ll be the first one down here to apply for a permit.”

The compromise essentially returns the status quo, with merchants again being able to display pretty much whatever they want on the sidewalk outside their stores, whenever they want, as long as they have a permit.

Before the debate began over a year ago, they technically weren’t allowed to put anything outside ever, but it was never enforced.

Until Charlotte’s Rustic Rose came along. The owner had a penchant for giant metal roosters and cowboy boots, and she created a permanent outdoor display of those and other items outside her store that some felt was tacky. Charlotte Ryan eventually decided her metal boots were made for walkin’ and went out of business last year.

But others were left with the result of her décor choices, an ordinance that limited outdoor display of merchandise to three days a month.

When Randy Stein, former councilmember, suggested making it even more strict, the merchants revolted and he resigned ahead of a recall push.

The new ordinance, unanimously approved on Sept. 1, lifts the cap on days, limits the area to 10 square feet and requires merchants to have insurance. A separate ordinance, which also passed unanimously, allows them to put benches, planters and tables outside their stores as long as minimum walking space is left.

“This puts them on the same footing as the restaurant patios,” said Mike Braaten, deputy city manager. He said Eric Ervin, the city employee who presented the plan at a Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants meeting, earned applause and cheers.

“The merchants are absolutely pleased to death,” confirmed Greg Reinke, president of HDLM. But Robinson’s neighbor, Kim Glidden, begs to differ.

“I am a merchant, and no one has discussed this with me,” she said. “The Historic Downtown Littleton Merchants does not represent all of the downtown merchants. I find it insulting that I didn’t get the information. I’m not a member of HDLM, and I refuse to go to their meetings. I’m fine with the ordinance, but the process of how it got there, I wasn’t a part of.”

NEWS IN A HURRY Calling all public-spirited youths South Suburban Parks and Recreation is looking for young people to serve on the 2016 Youth Commission to advise the district on what’s important to youths and teens who live and play in the area.

Volunteers get to practice skills in critical thinking, communications and creativity, while being introduced to local government and learning about the parks and recreation industry. Eligible students are those in grades seven through 11 who reside in the district and have a minimum 2.0 GPA. They must be drug- and alcohol-free, willing to share ideas

in group settings, and accepting of others and their ideas.

For more information and to apply, visit www.sspr.org before Oct. 1. For more information, contact Christina Ibarra, christinai@ssprd.org or 303-754-0552, or Brad Stafford, brads@ssprd. org.

or two himself. “Several Littleton breweries are here showcasing their beers so people can socialize and see what our local breweries have to offer.”

The event also helped raise money for a good cause. Nondrinkers were charged just a $5 entry fee, the proceeds of which

went to benefit Inter-Faith Community Services, a nonprofit that helps those in need in the south metro area.

With such a successful inaugural event, organizers expect Brews and Views to become a perennial favorite.

business.”

Mayor Phil Cernanec agreed.

“I almost got in a physical altercation on Saturday when somebody blew smoke in my wife’s face,” he said. “There is behavior out there that I would rather not have on Main Street.”

But the vast majority of those in the room felt the proposal was going too far.

Scott Woods, who manages The Tavern, said his biggest concern was a lack of communication before the ordinance was actually being considered.

“This shouldn’t be about feuds between one merchant and another merchant, it should be about fairness,” he said.

Many people noted that the move seems unnecessary, because state law already requires smokers to stay 15 feet away from a store’s main entrance. Jennifer Anderson works at The Tavern and said the seven minutes between getting off of light rail and arriving at work, when she smokes a cigarette along the way, is often the most pleasurable part of her day.

“I feel like the ban would just be a waste of everybody’s time,” she said.

Several people mentioned that the inclusion of electronic cigarettes seemed counterintuitive, as some research shows

that they are safer than the regular kind.

“Vaping got me off cigarettes and improved my health,” said Stacy Hazel. “I’m a severe asthmatic, and I haven’t used my inhaler in eight months. I don’t even know where it is. … I think vaping honestly saved my life.”

But Tom Butts, the Tri-County representative, noted that e-cigs still contain small amounts of toxins.

“You’re taking a step in making Littleton a safer and better place to live and visit,” he said.

Councilmember Debbie Brinkman, who brought the ordinance forward and was the only one opposed to tabling it, agreed that the intent is simply to clean up downtown.

“We’re not telling smokers you can’t

smoke, we’re saying you can’t smoke there,” said Brinkman. “We’re trying to create an enhanced experience on Main Street, and I would expect the merchants to support that. And if they don’t support that, then we really do need to have a serious conversation.”

Hopping hopes extending the matter to Nov. 3, the last meeting before a newly elected council will be seated, will accomplish that. So do the merchants.

“We all have invested because we love this city,” said Marcus Pachner, who presented a petition with 537 signatures opposing the smoking limits. “And yet we weren’t involved in this very important decision.”

School board honors Arapahoe fundraisers ‘Herculean’ effort rebuilt library after 2013 tragedy

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com When bad things happen, good people often come together to make things even better than they were before.

On Aug. 27, the Littleton Public Schools Board of Education’s first meeting of the new school year, the board took a moment to honor a few of those people: Ian Barber, Meredith Corder, Jacquie Schultz, Nancy Seavall, Jim Stephens and Anne Waugh, who have raised more than $259,000 for the Arapahoe High School Moving Forward Fund.

After the December 2013 tragedy at AHS, it was necessary to remodel the library where Karl Pierson killed himself moments after fatally wounding his

classmate Claire Davis.

“After the events of the 13th went down, we knew we wanted to get the library open again, but we knew we needed a new image for it,” said Addison Callahan, who was a senior that day and a member of the committee that redesigned the space.

So they set out to create a place where the Arapahoe community could gather to connect, learn, laugh, comfort and unite.

But the plan needed money, because nobody could have foreseen the need when the board approved the district’s budget for the 2014-15 school year.

The district managed to find some money to help cover what insurance would not, and donations of time and materials from local businesses helped, as well. But there was still a long way to go.

That’s where Barber, Corder, Schultz, Seavall, Stephens and Waugh entered the picture, spearheading the Moving

Forward Fund.

“It was a Herculean effort, and their contributions made a lasting difference,” LPS said in a statement. “The library … is a place that the Arapahoe community will call home for years to come.”

Because of their efforts, the library was ready in time for the kids to return to school in the fall of 2014. Nobody wanted the tragedy to be the focus of the space, but it does offer gentle nods of remembrance. A large Arapahoe Warrior logo greets students as they enter, their symbol of strength.

“It’s something familiar that people like,” said Austin Brumley, another student on the design committee. “We’re creating a different space, but we wanted to include something familiar.”

Their most important chore, they felt, was ensuring a sense of community, a place of gathering.

“All of this wouldn’t have been possible without our community all coming

together for this one big space so we could come together and be a real school again,” said Nicole Seavall, Nancy Seavall’s daughter and a student member of the design committee.

So the new library is filled with lots of ways and places the kids can commune, along with natural light and warm colors.

Small-group rooms let students work together on projects where they can be a little louder than in the rest of the library.

One cafe-like space lets them bring in coffee and maybe a snack, keeping them fueled up for studying. Individual carrels will be wired for charging electronic devices, so even if students are sitting alone, they can still stay in touch. One area has soft, comfy chairs for collapsing in, and another has long tables for sharing.

“It’s the last key piece of getting over the events that happened to us,” said Callahan. “It’s the last piece we really needed to get back to normal.”

Staff report

Littleton High School held a ribboncutting ceremony and tailgate party on Aug. 27 to celebrate the completion of the school’s new fitness center and the first home football game for the Littleton Lions.

The fitness center at Littleton High is part of the larger Littleton Public Schools bond program passed by voters in 2013.

- Improvements throughout the district will help LPS meet various federal regulations and upgrade HVAC, flooring, fire systems, roofing, repairs, plumbing, grounds repairs, lighting and electrical.

All work is expected to be done by August 2017.

“This is very much about maintaining our facilities,” said Diane Leiker, LPS communications director. “A lot of work will be done, but you might not see it. It might not look that different, but it really is improving the life of our schools.”

Brzeczek makes bid for Brinkman’s seat Formerly aligned, two candidates now face off

By Jennifer Smith jsmith@coloradocommunitymedia.com Carol Brzeczek, once a financial supporter of Debbie Brinkman’s campaigns, is now trying to bounce her out of the District 4 City Council seat.

“The character of Littleton is at stake, with urban renewal knocking at the door and the recent influx of high-density apartments in all corners of the city,” she said. “Looking up and down at the lightrail stations around the metro area, you see what’s in store for Littleton. We do not want to look like every other city along the light-rail line. We need to buck the trend and protect what we have.”

First elected in 2007 as part of a slate favoring limited growth that Brzeczek supported, Brinkman has supported most development in the last four years — usu-

ally with Brzeczek on the other side of the dais actively opposing it.

Brzeczek has been actively engaged in local government for many years, having served on the “Back to Basics” Littleton Public Schools board from 1993-97. These days she’s aligned with the Sunshine Boys, which is a group that Brzeczek considers itself a local government watchdog, and Citizens for Rational Development, which has been battling high-density development and urban renewal throughout the city for two years.

Most recently, she co-sponsored the successful Initiative 300, which requires a vote of the people every time a change is made to an urban-renewal plan area.

“The passage of 300 by almost 70 percent of the voters’ approval was a special victory,” she said. “Working with a small budget and being challenged by

developers and real-estate professionals with deep pockets was unexpected.

But the citizens of Littleton have always been independent thinkers and can see though slick rhetoric. It renews your faith in the process when David can still beat Goliath.”

She sponsored two successful bills in 2013. Initiative 301 limits city council’s use of executive sessions, and Initiative 303 requires a two-thirds vote of council to approve a rezone in cases where the planning board has voted against it or if 20 percent or more of the site’s neighbors file a protest. It also allows anyone within 100 feet of the affected property to object, regardless of whether they are within the city’s borders.

Brzeczek has been on city’s fine arts and zoning update committees, and the Arapahoe County Budget committee.

A seamstress, Brzeczek has owned the online business Sheets Unlimited since 2010. Prior to that, she was a bookkeeper at the Ace Hardware (now at Broadway

and Mineral Avenue) for 17 years, and at Cherokee Street Restaurant on Littleton Boulevard before it burned down.

She’s lived in Littleton since 1963 and today lives next door to her mother with her husband, Marty. They’ve been married since 1972 and have two kids. In her spare time, she likes to garden, refinish furniture and travel.

She now joins a field of seven candidates running for five seats in the Nov. 3 election.

In the at-large race, cfouncil member Peggy Cole will try to protect her seat, with former Mayor Doug Clark and newcomer Andrea Brown also in the running for one of the two seats up for grabs. The second is currently Bruce Stahlman’s; he declined to run again, citing a need to spend more time with his family.

Council member Jerry Valdes has no opposition in District 2. But Bill Hopping, just appointed to District 1 in April, faces competition from newcomer Brenda Stokes.

900,000 vets may have pending health requests Trouble with data prevents officials from knowing how many are active

By Matthew Daly Associated Press Nearly 900,000 military veterans have officially pending applications for health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the department’s inspector general said Sept. 2, but “serious” problems with enrollment data make it impossible to determine how many veterans were actively seeking VA health care.

About one-third of the 867,000 veterans with pending applications are likely deceased, the report says, adding that “data limitations” prevent investigators from determining how many now-deceased veterans applied for health care benefits or when. The applications go back nearly two

decades, and officials said some applicants may have died years ago.

More than half the applications listed as pending as of last year do not have application dates, and investigators “could not reliably determine how many records were associated with actual applications for enrollment” in VA health care, the report said.

The report also says VA workers incorrectly marked thousands of unprocessed health-care applications as completed and may have deleted 10,000 or more electronic “transactions” over the past five years.

Linda Halliday, the VA’s acting inspector general, said the agency’s Health Eligibility Center “has not effectively managed its business processes to ensure the consistent creation and maintenance of essential data” and recommended a multi-year plan to improve accuracy and usefulness of agency records.

Halliday’s report came in response to a whistleblower who said more than 200,000

veterans with pending applications for VA health care were likely deceased.

The inspector general’s report substantiated that claim and others, but said there was no way to tell for sure when or why the person died. Similarly, deficiencies in the VA’s information security — including a lack of audit trails and system backups — limited investigators’ ability to review some issues fully and rule out data manipulation, Halliday said.

The VA has said it has no way to purge the list of dead applicants, and said many of those listed in the report are likely to have used another type of insurance before they died.

VA spokeswoman Walinda West said on Sept. 2 that the agency has publicly acknowledged that its enrollment process is confusing and that the enrollment system, data integrity and quality “are in need of significant improvement.”

Sens. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Rich-

ard Blumenthal, D-Conn., chairman and senior Democrat of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said in a joint statement that the inspector general’s report pointed to “both a significant failure” by leaders at the Health Eligibility Center and “deficient oversight by the VA central office” in Washington.

The lawmakers urged VA to implement the report’s recommendations quickly to improve record-keeping at the VA and “ensure that this level of blatant mismanagement does not happen again.”

As of June 30, VA has contacted 302,045 veterans by mail, asking them to submit required documents to establish eligibility, West said. To date, VA has received 36,749 responses and enrolled 34,517 veterans, she said.

“As we continue our work to contact veterans, our focus remains on improving the enrollment system to better serve veterans,” West said.

It’s about weight loss, more or less Woman’s journey featured on popular reality TV show

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com Highlands Ranch resident Jackie Rodriguez packed on nearly 100 pounds from emotional eating over the years. But after her journey on ABC’s television show “Extreme Weight Loss,” she’s at her goal weight thanks to support from her family.

The two-hour show aired Aug. 25. At a watch party held at her local church, Rodriguez said, she and her family laughed and cried.

Over her one-year journey that ended last June, she lost 122 pounds through exercise four hours a day, boot camps, nutritional and medical advising and more. The hardest part was learning how to cope with her hatred of herself and to stop feeding “unhappy Jackie,” she said.

In 1998, Rodriguez’s toddler son, Hunter, was shaken by a day-care provider and suffered severe brain damage that has followed him since, Rodriguez said.

For more than a decade, Rodriguez was overcome with guilt and began overeating and got up to 266 pounds. Through her challenges of enduring court appearances and intense media coverage, she and her husband fought to put the nanny that injured Hunter behind bars. The woman received a five-year prison term, serving 2½ before going to a halfway house.

Rodriguez’s son, who is now 18, is a senior at Rock Canyon High School and an everyday inspiration for her, she said.

“I’m so proud of him because every day he overcomes everything. I did this for him — my family — my daughter, my husband and even my dog,” she said.

Hunter said he’s proud of his mom and that she did it because she needed to do it.

Recently, Rodriguez took a leap of faith and changed careers. She is a former accountant and payroll employee for the district attorney’s office, and is now three weeks into working as a services lead supervisor at Lifetime Fitness in Parker to inspire others.

To maintain her weight, every day she

Jackie Rodriguez said her son Hunter was a large part of her weight-loss success. When he was a toddler, he was shaken by a day care provider and sustained brain damage, which led to Jackie’s emotional eating. She dropped more than 100 pounds in her yearlong journey on ABC’s “Extreme Weight Loss.” Photo by Taryn Walker goes to crossfit classes for one to two hours, eats five times a day, stays away from alcohol, salt and sugar, drinks lots of water and takes her dog, Charlie, on evening walks.

She said it’s been important to hold herself accountable by tracking everything she eats on MyFitnesspal, an app that acts as a food journal.

“What most people don’t know when watching this show is that we did it in phases,” Rodriguez said. “You have to take everything one step at a time. It can be overwhelming, but it you make promises to yourself and keep them, it will build your integrity. It’s a complete lifestyle change, and not just for me — my whole family.”

Her once 2,000-calorie nachos are now 400 calories and the whole family loves them, Rodriguez said.

Highlands Ranch man heading to national championship in Utah

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com

For Craig Vogtsberger, his triathlon days really began years after his spinal cord injury in 2001. Now that he has an Allard BlueRocker, he’s feeling stronger than ever.

After swimming a mile in 66-degree water, mountain biking 22 miles and running five miles in the Physically Challenged Division of the XTERRA Buffalo Creek race on Aug. 24, he’s qualified for the XTERRRA USA Championship.

He’ll compete in Odgen, Utah, on Sept.

19 to defend his title. This is the eighth national XTERRA championship he’s qualified for and he’ll be participating as a member of TeamUP, the first national group of people with lower-leg paraly-

sis who participate in sporting and nonsporting events to inspire others.

“I’m definitely getting on my mountain bike more. It’s high elevation there and mountains are very steep in Utah,” said Vogtsberger, 40, a resident of Highlands Ranch. “I have two weeks left to push myself.”

He uses an Allard BlueRocker anklefoot orthosis brace, a hand-spun carbon fiber instrument with custom-fit straps and a footplate to get him going, he said.

The everyday gadget gets plenty of use and he’s lucky to have a medium build for walking and running short distances and a larger fit for trail running.

After nearly seven years of doctors telling him he’d be stuck in a chair for the rest of his life, Vogtsberger had heard enough.

He invested in Allard’s invention and became an award-winning paratriathlete.

But the road wasn’t easy.

Fourteen years ago, during a National

Dr. Holly Wyatt, who serves as a medical director for University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center in Aurora and for “Extreme Weight Loss,” as well as being Rodriguez’s mentor, agreed.

“The big kind of lesson in Jackie’s episode was that so many people use food as a way to numb extremely painful feelings or even day-to-day normal negative feelings,” Wyatt said. “We tend to have a knee-jerk reaction to take a pill when our head hurts; she turned to food for years every time her emotions bubbled up. Some people drink, spend money, or just stay busy to avoid their depression. Food is just another way, but it’s a common way.”

As an M.D., Wyatt’s roles included testing Rodriguez’s metabolism and body composition. Obesity is the number one reason there’s a diabetes epidemic, Wyatt said.

Heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and joint pain closely follow.

“Almost every organ system in your body is affected negatively by being overweight. There’s a physiological reason why we tend to go for sugar and far and not a bag of broccoli,” Wyatt said.

Now Rodriguez has been able to get back on track and be the person she’s supposed to be — she’s no longer kept back from a life that has purpose and meaning because of her weight, she said.

Wyatt’s advice, “Don’t be a victim. You have the power to make changes. A good place to start is to visit a physician. Don’t bury your head in the sand by avoiding the scale. Be proactive.”

Although she still has bad days, it’s all about how you look at it, Rodriguez said.

“The urges to eat badly will go away.

After all of this hard work, I’m not going to sabotage myself,” she said. “You have to constantly keep it on the forefront of your mind — and yes, it can be hard to balance a job and family, but those are the things that can also get you through everything. You have to choose your hard. It’s hard being fat and it’s hard losing weight.”

Cresthill Middle School to host Rachel’s Challenge

Rachel had affected other student’s lives in a positive way,” Hollingshead said. “When they received her diaries back from the police, they discovered that her writings reflected her commitment to changing the world through spreading kindness and compassion.”

The community event is focused on changing society and the way that everyone treats each other, he said. It’s a way to

support positive mental health. Years of data show that there’s a reduction in discipline issues at schools where Rachel’s Challenge has been promoted, Hollingshead said.

Organizer and Cresthill counselor Shirl Mabary said the presentation is perfect for informing not only children, but also adults, about bullying prevention and letting go.

“I think in today’s world, spreading a message of acceptance and compassion and kindness is very important,” Mabary said. “This way we can defeat all negative impacts upon our young people in our lives. The presentation is a powerful reminder of the little things we can do every day to make our world a better place.”

The main goal is to equip people with information to sustain a chain reaction of kindness and reaction, she said.

It’s intended to be a bit more intense than the normal middle school program, Hollingshead said, as kids will see some news coverage from Columbine in the first five minutes. The program is celebrating Scott and what she stood for and will have the same message as the middle school program, but different content and powerful stories, he said.

“We hope people come to the community event so they can be a part of the change that our students will be inspired to make,” he said. “The support of parents and community members is key to helping our young people follow through on their commitments to spreading kindness and compassion. We also want the community to know what kind of message is being sent in the program to our students.”

It’s important for young people to know their actions and words matter, he said.

Hollingshead shared an excerpt from Scott’s diary: “I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go.”

full recovery. I got into that mindset and then realized everything I tried to do that I could do before, I could no longer do. I was reminded constantly of that and went downhill real quick mentally and emotionally.”

For five years he gave up. His spine would never be the same and his nerves were severely damaged, leaving his brain with no control over his foot. This led to a diagnosis of foot drop.

“I was done — I was disabled,” he said.

“Then, I went to a local triathlon and I saw

the people doing it — they were swimming and their families were all there cheering them. I made the decision to be done with my medicine and stop sitting on my (butt).”

When a doctor asked him what he wanted to do, his response was that he wanted to run and bike and be athletic again. The BlueRocker was ordered and his life was forever changed.

“They said, ‘Put this on and run down the hallway,’” Vogtsberger said. “The feeling I had when I first used it was phenomenal. I took five or six steps and said, ‘This is what I need.’”

This year has been a particularly tough one. The athlete was taken down by pneumonia in April, a black widow spider bite in May and throat surgery in June. Despite a series of unfortunate events, Vogtsberger is training his heart out by putting in time at the weight room and strengthening his core.

Friend and TeamUP “ambassador” Beth Deloria has been an inspiration, he said.

She was born with birth defects she never knew she had that slowly converged into foot drop deemed from a spinal cord injury. Deloria runs long-distance marathons and Vogtsberger said he doesn’t know how she does it.

“When I first started my journey I began raising awareness because I couldn’t find any information about footdrop at

all,” Deloria said. “I met Craig through TeamUp and realized his struggle was way harder than mine. He seriously shouldn’t be alive right now, let alone be walking or running.”

Vogtsberger’s attitude is the best, because he allows everyone to share their stories to get a sense of life, she said.

“My life is so much more enriched because I’ve met him,” Deloria said. “He’s humble yet engaging. He makes the most of every second of every day and I don’t know anyone else on the planet who does that. We all achieve something for every one of his accomplishments.”

Vogtsberger said in all aspects of his life, he feels stronger. Physically, he still fights the pain, but triathlons give him the avenue to make peace with it all, he said.

His words resonate with everyone, disabled or not, Deloria said.

“Do what I did,” he said. “You have to get to that part in your mind where you’re tired of not doing anything. Get out and do something. Triathlons are my inspiration, but so is scuba diving, track and field and kayaking. People with disabilities need to do it all until they find that one thing that gets them out of bed in the morning.”

Event builds on Columbine victim’s devotion to kindness

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com Seventeen-year-old Rachel Scott was the first victim of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999, and she left behind diaries filled with inspirational words.

Those interested in hearing about her legacy and message are encouraged to come to a community event at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 at Cresthill Middle School, 9195 Cresthill Lane, Highlands Ranch.

The intended audience is for sixth grade and up, including parents and adults, as some of the footage from videos may be too graphic for younger viewers.

Rachel’s Challenge, a national organization that shortly began after Scott’s death, was created by her father to awaken the learner in every child. It includes a series of student-empowering, educatormotivating programs and strategies called Awaken the Learner Five-step School Improvement Process.

Those five steps include: Dream big and believe in yourself; be kind to others; practice positive gossip; show appreciation to those you love; and be the answer.

Ryan Hollingshead, Scott’s stepbrother, has served on the board of directors for Rachel’s Challenge for 10 years and is the dean of Castle View High School.

OBITUARIES VANDER BROEK

Albertha ‘Birdie’ Vander Broek 1931 – 2015

Birdie was born January 6, 1931, in Orange City, IA, to John DenHerder and Johanna Woudsma DenHerder. She grew up and attended schools in Chandler, MN and graduated from Chandler-Lake Wilson High School. She also attended Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

On December 1, 1952, she married Jerry Vander Broek in Denver, CO. To this union were born two children, Elise and Clark.

Birdie and Jerry made their home first in Bellflower, CA and finally Littleton, CO. The couple later divorced.

Birdie had lived in Idaho Falls since 2004.

Birdie had a number of careers over her life. She began as a rural Minnesota elementary school teacher after her first year of college. She worked administrative and secretarial jobs in Denver prior to being married. Following her marriage, she worked as a librarian for the Bell-

flower, CA school district.

After the family’s return to Denver, Birdie held a variety of administrative positions working for many years at Marathon Oil Company. There, she eventually took on the role of corporate travel agent.

She held a similar position at Northern Telecom. Upon retirement, Birdie began her personal travel adventures across the US and Canada with friends and family.

Birdie was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Idaho Falls. She was an avid reader, closely followed current events, enjoyed traveling and loved her dogs. Birdie was a healthy conversationalist and a great listener too. She was

always grateful to her caregivers. She will be remembered as a courageous and spirited woman, having a big heart and zest for life, and always being a good sport. Her gift of education and music to her children will be cherished forever.

Birdie was preceded in death by her parents, John and Johanna DenHerder; brother Jacob DenHerder; sister, Louise Wichers; sister Nell Dara, and a son-in-law, John Fitschen.

Birdie is survived by her daughter, Elise Fitschen; her son, Clark Vander Broek; and son-in-law, Joseph A. McCormack.

A memorial service was held in Idaho Falls, Idaho on September 3, 2015. The family suggests memorials be sent to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, or a charity of one’s choosing.

Condolences may be sent to the family online at www.woodfuneralhome. com.

Succeed or fail, learning happens When it comes to education on any level, one of the things that I find so interesting is the expectation around the learning results. I see it time and time again with companies and individuals where they beMichael Norton lieve the learning WINNING only happens in the classroom.

WORDS Now maybe some of it does, but I believe the actual learning comes from trying and applying the skills and techniques we are taught in the classroom while we are actually back at work doing our job or for students while they are doing their homework. You see, it is one thing to be able to participate in training or in the classroom when the teacher or trainer is right there. But it is another thing altogether to leave the comfort of the classroom and try applying something new when no one else is around.

It’s important to understand that the learning happens when we try something new and we win or succeed, and more importantly, the learning also happens when we try something new and fail. That is because the learning happens in the doing.

So why don’t we allow ourselves the freedom to succeed or fail? For some of us, we just want to stay settled in our comfort zone. We are doing just enough to pass the class or get by in our career.

And if we open ourselves up to trying something new and fail, our perception is that we will be judged by our peers, our family members, or our bosses. And that is just not the case. It is really just our own self-limiting belief system at work in our heads.

The truth is that our bosses, our family and friends, and our peers are OK seeing us fail from time to time as long as we are growing and learning from each step back. And they are thrilled when we actually try and apply something and we succeed, as they know that when we are growing personally and professionally they will also benefit from the things we are learning and in the ways we are developing ourselves.

True learning is also not a quick fix and it does not come in the form of magic dust. Many individuals and many companies make this mistake.

They believe they can take a shortcut to learning and they hope that their students or staff will pick up on the new technique or strategy right away. If we are talking about learning and sustainable acquired knowledge and skill, then we must talk about the need for the reinforcement of training and development over time. We must include ongoing continuous education if we are to see the desired results in ourselves, our teams and our students.

How about you? Are you willing to try and apply what you are taught in the classroom? Are you a believer in sustainable and ongoing training and education? I would love to hear all about it at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we maximize our skills by learning while we are doing, it really will be a better than good week.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Candidate forums are important opportunities Public candidate forums are important.

While they may seem archaic in this ever changing technological revolution, they may be the only chance voters have to meet and talk with the candidates face to face. Glossy brochures, campaign signs and TV ads generate awareness, but they don’t give voters the opportunity to ask the tough questions, ascertain the candidates differing philosophies and learn why they seek public office.

That’s why the two candidate forums for Littleton Public Schools Board of Education positions scheduled this month are important. School boards are the governing body of a school district. They face a myriad of responsibilities and duties, including ensuring compliance with state and federal education laws, establishing school policies, procedures and budgets and making financial decisions to achieve effective governance.

The school board candidate forums will give you the opportunity to see the candidates in action, learn their views on public education, student performance, teacher evaluations, mandatory tests, charter schools and whatever issues that may concern you as a parent, taxpayer, community resident or business owner. The candidate forum may be your only chance to learn which candidate merits your vote, and which does not.

The two forums are co-sponsored by Littleton Public Schools and the League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties and will feature the three candidates vying to fill two positions on the Littleton Public Schools Education Board.

They are Robert Reichardt, Richard Boorom and Jim Stephens. The two elected candidates will serve a four-year term and replace outgoing board members Lucie Stanish and Mary Nichols, who are term limited.

The candidates have pledged to participate in the forums and answer audience

questions. The rest is up to you. Plan to attend one of the forums.

The first forum is 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Sept.

21 at Littleton High School. The second is 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Sept. 29 at Arapahoe High School.

Marlu Burkamp, The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties A crying shame in Littleton I watched the Littleton City Council meeting on Channel 8 on Sept. 1 — and I must say that I was deeply shocked by the venomous, inaccurate and unfair attacks against the city manager, city staff and city council by a small group of people who (let’s speak frankly here) want to take over the council in the November election.

Listening to their comments, I asked myself, “Is this the Littleton we all cherish?”

Is this the Littleton of beautiful parks, trails and open space? Is this the Littleton of safe streets, extraordinary schools and lively festivals? Is this the Littleton with an awardwinning museum and beloved library? Is this the Littleton that houses the poor and provides transportation for seniors? Is this the Littleton with a historic Main Street, clean neighborhoods and a strong sense of community?

I think not.

I served on the city council for 16 years, and during that time there were frequent debates, disagreements and even people who were unhappy with council’s decisions, including mine. That’s an inevitable part of democracy.

But the vitriol never, ever reached the level our community is experiencing now in the lead-up to the November election.

Frankly, it’s shameful.

Indeed, it’s a crying shame.

It’s not the humidity, it’s the plain old heat The dog and I are looking forward to some global cooling.

To be honest, we don’t really care about the rest of the globe. Just the part of the globe that includes the city of Denver and Douglas County.

We wilt in the summer.

Languish.

The air conditioner runs and runs.

I hear from Xcel. They compare my consumption of energy to the house next door.

The house next door was vacant until a week ago.

Every day, I look at the five-day forecast.

When the 90s become 80s, I begin to hum.

When the 80s become 70s, I bring out the “Hallelujah Chorus.”

You will notice a difference in me.

My frown turns upside down.

I will be as happy as a clam at high

tide.

Of course, if you prefer the faultfinder, grumbler and killjoy in me, too bad. You will just have to wait until the dog days of 2016.

Then I will stow the mower.

I know I will have to rake my neighbor’s leaves, the ones that leave his yard for mine. But that’s OK. Fallen leaves are very meaningful.

When the Smiths lived in Ann Arbor, there were hills of fallen leaves in the streets. And you know what we did with them?

We raked them up, jumped in them, and then we burned them.

That smell is still in my nostrils.

It was important for my sister and me to learn that Michigan State was the enemy. So was another school across the state line in Columbus.

Those were the best days of my life.

And the best days of the best days of my life were in September, and especially in October, in Ann Arbor.

Things changed in Michigan. It makes me sad.

Around here, it will begin to look skeletal again. In the mornings the trees will look stark in backlighting, and instead of a flush of leaves, we’ll see the branches.

It’s a visual poem, and I can’t get enough.

Sure, it will be brutally cold and Smitty will refuse to go outside.

There will be a blizzard or two.

The crickets will freeze up solid.

We’ll be told to stay home, stay off the highways.

But somewhere in it, a writer and his little red dog will be smiling.

We had a huge oil drum in the side yard, and that’s where the leaves were burned.

Iowa was.

And so was Michigan State.

Conservation fund has saved special places An overwhelming majority of Coloradans agree that protecting our watersheds, preserving our natural resources and conserving our priceless public lands are not only important for our health and environment, but also for our state’s thriving outdoor economy.

We were recently reminded of the incredible beauty and value of our land at the Tolland Ranch Property we visited last month. In a field near South Boulder Creek, we joined members of the local community to celebrate the designation of a 3,300-acre conservation easement, the centerpiece of a 4,700-acre project to preserve the property.

This project on the Toll family land — which they have owned for more than 120 years — was a top priority for the U.S. Forest Service. It ensures that water supplies to Denver and Boulder remain healthy, that the scenic landscape remains unchanged, that a diversity of wildlife continues to inhabit the entire area, and that the worldclass Nordic trails on the property

The program doesn’t use a dime of taxpayer money.

It’s hard to imagine what the American landscape might look like today if the LWCF had not been established 50 years ago. Colorado has received more than $230 million in LWCF funding that has been used to preserve areas like the Ophir Valley in the San Juans and Little Echo Lake in Gilpin County, as well as treasures like the Great Sand Dunes and Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s also been used to create and maintain local parks, urban nature areas and state parks. Following flooding in 2013, LWCF state assistance grants were used to help with recovery efforts like rebuilding the St. Vrain River corridor.

The conservation of these public lands has also contributed greatly to our outdoor recreation economy, which generates $13.2 billion in consumer spending, supports 125,000 jobs and produces $994 million annually in tax revenue.

Unfortunately, the LWCF is set to

remain accessible to the public.

The South Boulder Creek Project is a shining example of what can be done to protect our watersheds and public lands when private landowners, U.S. Sen. conservationists Michael Bennet and federal, state and local governGUEST ments join forces.

COLUMN And this project and others like it could not have been completed without federal dollars from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The LWCF operates under a simple concept that has endured for half a century. The fund reinvests a small portion of the royalties from offshore oil and gas drilling to permanently conserve our land and water.

S2

expire at the end of September, putting projects like the one we celebrated last month and others across the state in jeopardy. We’re continuing to fight for the LWCF in the Senate and have sponsored several measures to reauthorize the fund and to fully fund it — which has only happened once since the LWCF was created. In Colorado and Washington, D.C., we have broad bipartisan support for the LWCF, and we will continue to be a strong voice for protecting it.

We owe it to future generations to leave our parks and public lands better than we found them and to impart the lessons of conservation and stewardship onto our kids and grandkids. The LWCF is our most effective tool to do that, and we are committed to ensuring our children can enjoy the benefits of this fund for the next 50 years.

Democrat Michael Bennet has represented Colorado in the U.S. Senate since 2009.

Rent

Continued from Page 1

ensconced in a single-family neighborhood with a 30-year mortgage, perhaps paid off, might not think rent is an issue that will affect them. But who does it affect?

Faces of renters Well, there’s J. Renee Smith. The single mom is paying $950 a month for a small, two-bedroom apartment near Littleton High School. She works two jobs and gets what she calls a “measly” amount of child support.

“Since my ex left, I have struggled to finish school, pay off loans and keep bills out of my credit, which has also declined,” she said. “When I had to look for an apartment, prices soared sky-high even for a one-bedroom, and maintenance has been very bad. … Fortunately I was able to grab a second job, thus wearing myself thin on top of being a single mom and a chauffeur. Rent prices are ridiculous.”

At the other end of the spectrum is 74-year-old Cinni Hines. She’s lived her whole life in Littleton. In 2002, she had a mobile home until the owner of the park she lived in sold to a development company that evicted everybody.

Hines and her husband, Patrick, picked themselves up and got a two-bedroom apartment in downtown Littleton, and things were going along OK until Patrick died five years ago. She ended up getting a roommate to avoid having to move.

“Rent goes up all the time, but Social Security doesn’t,” she said. “We rent in Littleton because we want to stay in Littleton. Most of us are interested in what’s going on. And I love living downtown, because I don’t drive.”

Sticker shock Then there are the transplants like millennial Scott Willey, who recently moved to the south metro area with his girlfriend. He grew up on the Gulf Coast of Texas, where he made a name for himself as a cook. He now finds himself working at a fast-casual chain restaurant.

“I thought coming to a big metropolitan area, there’d be more choices for affordable living,” he said. “With it being such a densely populated area, I just thought rent would be manageable.”

The couple ended up in Englewood, paying $1,190 for a one-bedroom. Other necessities, like water and electricity, bring their expenses up to about $1,400 a month, not counting food, gas and “fun money.”

“My girlfriend and I only bring in about $41,000 a year,” said Willey. “I’d say we have less than $100 to play with per paycheck after rent, bills and all of the other necessities we have to account for.”

Long road ahead Willey says they’d like to get out of the “rent race” at some

Across the south metro area, new apartments like these at Mineral Avenue and Platte Canyon Road in Littleton are popping up. Photo by Jennifer Smith point, realizing ownership would ultimately be more affordable. According to the real-estate website Zillow, renters can expect to spend 30 percent of their income on rent, while buyers spend just about 15 percent of theirs on mortgage payments.

“I’d love to actually invest my money into a house someday, instead of throwing it down the drain for a onebedroom that’s only 650 square feet,” said Willey.

According to Zillow, “the picture doesn’t look bright for renters” in the immediate future: “Rents will likely keep rising at roughly their current pace for at least the next few years, which will lead to a continued affordability crunch unless wage growth significantly improves.”

The Colorado Apartment Association notes that the market fluctuates, but the current demand for rentals is at an all-time high.

“As a result, for those who haven’t shared in the benefits of Colorado’s economic growth, finding and retaining affordable housing can be a challenge,” it reports.

Go west, young people Young people who are just starting out find themselves facing that challenge every day, and developers looking to build multifamily projects stress that millennials want the flexibility that renting affords. That’s true for now, according to Apartment List, a company that aggregates apartment listings on its website. But 74 percent of millennials hope to buy eventually, and 53 percent of those plan to wait until after 2018.

“There are indications that this may be caused by millennials getting married later, and also rising levels of student debt,” it reports.

Denver ranks as one of the top metro areas in the county for millennials who plan to buy, along with Austin, Atlanta and Washington, D.C. But in the meantime, some of them are avoiding the metro area at all costs. Chris Frey is one of them. He has lived in the tiny mountain town of Silver Plume his whole life, but his live-in girlfriend is from Littleton.

“Her parents wish we lived closer,” he said. “But even though we both have good full-time jobs, there’s no way we could afford it. Plus, we’re renting a four-bedroom house that sits on one acre for less than we could get a one-bedroom apartment for down there.”

Developers also talk a lot about people like Highlands Ranch resident Suzanne Homme, a senior who wanted to downsize and move into walkable, maintenance-free housing.

“We have rented the same apartment for 17 years,” said Homme. “We are elderly and enjoy the fact that we don’t have to buy this and repair that. Our unit is ground floor and easily accessed by two of us when we need to be in wheelchairs. Paying rent sucks, but then so does paying taxes to own a house.”

Community reaction But often, there is community resistance to multifamily dwellings in general. In a scene that replays itself over and over throughout the metro area, the owner of Columbine Square shopping center in Littleton two years ago wanted to redevelop it into “affordable” apartments that would rent for $800 to $1,250. But neighbors turned out in droves to oppose the plan. One woman, who didn’t want to be identified, worried the low price would attract “riffraff” and urged the developer to upgrade the complex into a “hip” mixed-use project.

But the same year, a plan to build 385 units that would lease for up to $2,100 a month at County Line Road and Erickson Boulevard sailed through the process with ease.

Nobody spoke against the plan during the public hearing, and resident Katy Raffensperger said the project would be great for couples like her and her husband.

“There’s a lack of quality rental property for young people,” she said.

While there’s no denying the demand is there, some renters tire of the stigma often placed on them.

“What most people don’t realize is, renters are probably one of the hardest-working groups out there,” said Willey.

“We’re just not fortunate enough to get ahead of our bills.

Renting is obviously not our ideal situation; there just aren’t any other options. I’d say people get the wrong idea about those who don’t have a house, because they think were irresponsible or don’t care about our future. But it takes all we have just to get by.”

ON THE RISE A look at the median rental rates in July for a two-bedroom apartment in some metro-area communities: (with state rank in parentheses and percentage increase from 2014 at far right) Boulder: $1,800 (1), +0.4 percent

Centennial: $1,430 (8), +2.4 percent

Highlands Ranch: $1,720 (2), +9.4 percent

Westminster: $1,360 (9), +16.5 percent

Broomfield: $1,700 (3), +2.5 percent

Golden: $1,340 (10), no change

Lone Tree: $1,640 (4), +6.6 percent

Lakewood: $1,330 (11), +6.6 percent

Littleton: $1,570 (5), +5.1 percent

Thornton: $1,310 (12), +8.4 percent

Denver: $1,560 (6). +5 percent

Arvada: $1,250 (15), +4.8 percent

Englewood: $1,490 (7), +11 percent

Aurora: $1,200 (16), +7.7 percent

Landlords rewarded for lending a hand Area incentive program targets homelessness Staff report Area mayors are stepping up to help Colorado residents who are struggling to find a place to call home.

On Aug. 5, the Metro Mayors Caucus launched the Landlord Incentive Program, “in recognition of the regional nature of the challenge of ending homelessness and the important role that landlords can play in helping individuals and families,” according to a news release.

An incentive fund is available to property owners and landlords in the seven-county metro area who agree to rent to people with housing vouchers who participate in a regional program administered by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative. Landlords can get up to $1,000 to help cover costs associated with vacancies, damages and any repairs that might occur while the tenant is in a binding lease agreement.

“The fund is designed to ensure a sustainable connection between landlords and those who are struggling to find or secure housing,” the release states. “By offering monetary and other incentives that help cover costs common in a rental situation, local leaders can ease the concerns of compassionate property owners and minimize barriers for low-income renters in communities across the region.”

Interested landlords can call Colorado Housing Connects, 844-926-6632, or visit www.coloradohousingconnects.org to learn more about the incentive fund.

shell game Versatile eggs provide protein punch and boost to Colorado economy

By Taryn Walker twalker@coloradocommunitymedia.com

ith 120 million eggs laid in Colorado every year, they’re a hot commodity in the kitchen and the economy — in fact, eggs are collectively the ninth-largest agriculture product in the state behind wheat, Colorado Egg Producers Association President Jerry Wilkins said.

What most don’t know is the Colorado market is driven by only six main egg producers, which help support employment and income for 250 farm families.

Stores such as Albertson’s, Costco, King Soopers and a number of convenience stores provide the option to buy local eggs.

“It’s pretty exciting that specialty eggs on a store level come from a pretty small group of farmers with a little over 4 million egg-laying hens,” Wilkins said. “There’s efficiencies in place when you can produce that much every day all year. It’s a pretty amazing operation.”

Egg terms can be confusing when making a selection, but Wilkins Shell continues on Page 14

• Heat a large sauté pan to medium high and add the raw sausage. Cook until fully cooked, saving the rendered fat. Cooking time should be approx. 10 minutes

• Divide the mixture into the 12 muffin cups and slightly pack into the cup • For oven, place foil lightly over the muffin pan and bake for about 20 minutes, check doneness and cook further if needed. Muffins should be firm and not have any runny eggs • For smoker, tent the foil over the muffin pan to allow the smoke to flow over the muffins while cooking. Smoke for 20 minutes, check doneness and cook further if needed.

• Using tongs or towel remove from the over or smoker, then the pan and enjoy hot.

• Double this recipe and freeze (will hold frozen for two weeks) Reheat in microwave – 30 seconds at a time until hot.

has found 82 percent of eggs sold and produced in Colorado are conventional or cage-free, 12 percent are nutritionally enhanced and 4 percent organic.

With an abundance of choices, labeling gives the consumer the best amount of information to make the right decision, he said.

With local eggs, it’s about freshness.

“I represent family farms not only because it supports the local economy, but also because those eggs are delivered between 48 to 72 hours and they cook up great,” Wilkins said. “It affects the taste, and those meringues stand up taller when you cook them in your pan.”

Where to go The breakfast spot Snooze, an A.M. Eatery, is popping up all around the state, including Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, Centennial and, most recently, Lone Tree. Spencer Lomax, chief culinary conductor and purchasing officer, said sometimes the gaps in breakfast restaurants are that customers want the sausage — they just don’t want to know how it’s made or where it comes from.

“To us, we see freshness as a huge factor and have a relationship with a local supplier,” Lomax said. “A local egg is high quality and responsibly raised, typically cage-free and free of antibiotic.”

The company has recently decided to serve “almost” 100 percent local eggs, Lomax said.

“We’re proud to serve Colorado eggs

from just up the road in Platteville,” a town near Greeley, he said. “It’s awesome that we can support local farmers. Eggs are super-versatile and offer a great source of protein. They’re just so good and the classic perfect breakfast.”

The most popular egg dish at Snooze is the eggs Benedict, and it has six different styles. There’s the classic ham Benedict. But for those who enjoy a multitude of flavors — and a twist on the traditional — the Caprese features heirloom tomatoes tossed with pesto and served with mozzarella on a ciabatta bun with poached eggs, cream cheese hollandaise and a balsamic reduction.

If you’re stopping in at Snooze for the first time, Lomax recommends his favorite — the breakfast pot pie.

It’s a flaky puff pastry smothered with homemade rosemary sausage gravy, topped with an egg and served with hash browns.

Chef tips Food expert Jason Morse, chef of 5280 Culinary and member of the American Culinary Foundation for the Colorado Chefs Association, always goes for jumbo eggs when cooking breakfast. For hard-boiled eggs, older jumbo eggs peel easier, he said.

He advises to use local eggs, as they’re grade AA and meet FDA specifications. Local producers take great care of their flocks and take pride in producing the most consistent eggs on the market, he said. Local equals fresher.

As a chef, Morse urges consumers to do their research when buying eggs instead of relying on television and online advertising. (For one of his favorite egg recipes, see the previous page.)

Sad news It grieves me to my very soul to have to report the death of Michael “Mike” Gaughan, chairman and co-founder of MGA Communications, one of the primo PR firms in Denver. He died Sept. 1 from complications from surgery. He was 77.

Mike, who has been with his life and business partner Jeff Julin forever, was a beloved friend of mine. Mike, Jeff and a guest and I would go to dinner quarterly at Barolo Grill, and have such a great time

eating numerous courses and drinking vodka.

He had had some health scares, but always roared back.

This time he lost the battle. I am so sad.

From his official obituary: “Mike will tell you his career really Penny Parker began when he was MILE HIGH hired at the age of 15 as a marquee LIFE boy for the Dundee Theatre in Omaha.

From that humble beginning, Mike rose in the ranks of the theater chain until he was promoted and became responsible for all advertising and marketing for the circuit. In the mid-’80s Mike founded his own public relations firm which has morphed into MGA Communications.”

SCFD board meeting sheds light on divide Some smaller organizations oppose funding proposal

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com A filled community room at Lone Tree Arts Center on Aug. 27 was the venue for the monthly meeting of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District Board of Directors, which includes one member from each of the seven included counties, plus several governor-appointed members.

The chairman is Arapahoe County representative Dan Hopkins, who wields a firm hand on proceedings.

(The board circulates among SCFD venues.)

Lisa Rigsby Peterson, Lone Tree Arts Center director, welcomed the attendees with the news that LTAC, celebrating its fifth season, planned 250 programs.

Revenues were up 57 percent and attendance has gained 155 percent.

“We’re now producing,” she added, mentioning generational programming and Mainstage productions.

On the agenda was approval of funding for the Tier II organizations. (Representatives of half of them spoke over two hours, describing a great variety of programming. The others had appeared earlier.)

Littleton’s Hudson Gardens is among them, as are Lone Tree’s Arts Center and Parker’s PACE Center.

About 3 p.m., it was time for public comments, which indicated that not all were happy among SCFD’s smaller organization.

The SCFD board’s website had a notice on April 22 that a report was coming on April 23 from the boardappointed, 18-member Reauthorization Task Force.

Lone Tree’s Peterson was a member, but there were few members from smaller Tier III organizations.

A new organization, FACE, Friends of Art and Culture Equity, formed to protest the committee’s suggested allocations.

It has written a resolution and has more than 80 signatories, including Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center,

BACKGROUND OF SCFD REAUTHORIZATION In 1988, Denver metroarea voters approved a 1 cent on $10 sales tax to provide for enlightenment, entertainment and education of the public through scientific and cultural facilities.

Categories include art, music, theater, dance, zoology, botany, natural history and cultural history.

Counties included are Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver and Douglas (except for Castle Rock and Larkspur, which voted themselves out). There has been one reauthorization vote and a second is due in November 2016. Enabling legislation for the November ballot must be introduced

STRUCTURE OF SCFD There are 304 organizations receiving SCFD funds, starting with the five in Tier I:

and passed in the 2016 Legislature, which means it’s soon time to meet with legislators and write a bill.

Denver Art Museum, Denver Botanic Gardens, Denver Zoo, Denver Museum of Nature & Science and Denver Center for the Performing Arts. Tier II includes 27 organizations, including Arvada Center, Hudson Gardens, Lone Tree Arts Center, PACE Center,

The next reauthorization is proposed to run until 2030 and the SCFD committee suggests a number of percentage tweaks and changes in a complex formula that will have to be spelled out for voters to understand on a 2016 ballot.

Arts-loving readers will want to stay tuned in as this situation works its way to the ballot. Pages of material are available and will accumulate on websites for SCFD and FACE, scfd.org and face2016.com.

Colorado Symphony, Children’s Museum and Butterfly Pavilion. Tier III includes the remaining 272 groups and has increased in numbers. Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, Englewood Arts, Parker Arts, Littleton Chorale (now called Voices West), symphony orchestras from Littleton, Lone Tree, Parker, the Arapahoe Philharmonic and many more.

FUTURE NUMBERS

Littleton Chorale, Highlands Ranch-based Performance Now Theatre Company, Centennial-based Young Voices of the Rockies, Parker Symphony, Denver Concert Band (based in Lone Tree) — and building.

Members claim they weren’t kept informed during the committee’s process and feel the smaller organizations should receive a larger percentage of total revenues.

The Scientific and Cultural Facilities District committee proposal for distribution of the first $38 million in tax revenue by 2030 breaks down this way:

million, the proposal takes this approach:

Tier I: (present) 65.5 percent drops to 64 percent.

Tier III: 14 percent rises to 17 percent.

Tier II: 21 percent goes up to 22 percent.

Tier lll: 13.5 percent rises to 14 percent.

For tax revenue over $38

Tier I: 64 percent drops to 57 percent.

Tier II: 22 percent rises to 26 percent.

The FACE organization says final figures should be adjusted to 50/30/20 percent and will be advocating for that distribution.

Foothills gallery hosts watercolor exhibition Venue in Golden will show 70 works of art

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com More than four decades ago, in 1974, local artists approached Foothills Art Center with the idea of organizing a national watercolor show.

The idea and name were eventually expanded to Watermedia, which includes other water-based paint techniques: acrylic, gouache, casein and mixed media. And it draws a more unusual collection of works,

including the precise Renaissance technique of egg tempera.

In 2015, the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibit will include 70 paintings, illustrations and collages reflecting a wide range of creative expression when it opens on Sept. 19. It runs until Oct. 25 in Foothills’ handsome gallery in a historic church, a National Registry of Historic Places building.

Juror Mark Mehaffey, a nationally recognized painter from Michigan, is a member of the National Watercolor Society, American Watercolor Society, Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Watercolor West and Rocky Mountain Watercolor Society.

A retired schoolteacher, he conducts work-

shops and exhibits nationally and internationally. He was an award winner in the Shanghai Zhujiajao Watercolor Biennial in Beijing in 2010.

Entries from across the country were received in May for this show and Mehaffey, an experienced juror, made his choices, which include: “Hazy countrysides, lyrical abstractions, whimsical dreamscapes and exquisitely detailed still lifes,” according to Foothills publicist Kai Mazurczyk.

Our recollection is that it is always a strong, worthwhile show, especially strong in some lesser-known techniques.

Art lovers will want to include Golden in their fall itineraries.

IF YOU GO The Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibit will be at Foothills Art Center, 809 15th St., Golden, through Oct. 25. Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays; 12 to 5 p.m.

Sundays. Admission: members free, adults $8, seniors and youths over 10 $5, free under 10.

Satire thriving at Avenue Theater ‘Bright Ideas’ has fun at expense of wealthy

By Sonya Ellingboe sellingboe@coloradocommunitymedia.com With new artistic director Gavin Mayer on board since last spring, the Avenue Theater starts its new season with a somewhat twisted bit of comedy — Eric Coble’s “Bright Ideas,” which is played for laughs, but has a shadow cleverly cast by memories of “Macbeth.” Satire of the upper class is alive and well.

We see a sweet, but hovering, mom Genevra (an excellent Erica Fox) transform into a monster as she obsesses

on getting her 3-year-old son admitted to Bright Ideas preschool, where they maintain that “who you are at 4, you will remain for the rest of your life!”

How to accomplish this when every space is filled? Father Josh (recent UNC graduate Chas Lederer) hatches a plan.

Little Max is at the top of the list.

Meet Denise, Genevra’s divorced, well-to-do co-worker, whose son is already attending Bright Ideas — if only he could move away and live with his father … Haley Johnson is especially accomplished — and relatively obnoxious — in this and several other parts, including a funny school director.

How many times have you observed death by pesto? (Which won’t entirely come off the hands.) We have a farce

here, colored throughout by the tragic Scottish play!

Gracen Porreca, in several parts also, is skilled with the body language.

Katrina Kunz completes the cast. We enjoyed his flight attendant bit.

We had some difficulty at times with hearing the cast clearly — perhaps director Pat Payne can work with Lederer and others to slow the speech just a hair and get it out there. The theater is small and usually it’s not a problem there.

Mayer has announced a full season following a play by Phamaly. “Equus,” a strongly dramatic play, is followed by the Avenue’s traditional “Santa’s Big Red Sack” for the holidays. In spring, “Cups,” a woman’s story based on bras; “Legacy of Light” by Karen Zacharais;

and “Beautiful Thing,” a love story about two British schoolboys.

Mayer is also starting education programs for kids of all ages during the days. The old Avenue will take on new life as the year progresses.

Aviation event promotes mental health awareness Warbirds over Rockies informative, entertaining

By Crystal Anderson canderson@colorado communitymedia.com Eighteen percent of adults nationwide suffer from some kind of a mental disorder, a number Brian O’Meara and Andrew Romanoff are trying to lower through education — and a little fun.

“Mental illness is something as Americans we brush under the carpet, because if it’s not affecting you, it’s easy to ignore,” said O’Meara, organizer of Warbirds over the Rockies, a model aviation event that combines plane modeling with mental health awareness.

Held Sept. 11-13 at the Arvada Modelers Airfield, 7608 State Highway 93, Warbirds brings together more than 300 modelers and model aircraft to entertain and educate attendees about modeling, wartime aircraft and mental health issues.

“This is a patriotic, educational and entertaining event,” said Romanoff, president and CEO of

Warbirds over the Rockies organizer Brian O’Meara and his wife, Bonnie, sit next to their P-47 Warbird, which has a 12-foot wingspan and includes a 420 CC engine.

Along with plane exhibitions, the event will have a variety of modeling equipment and toy vendors as well as a daily air show with a history of military aviation and battle simulations.

For Ted Hughes, president of Arvada Associated Modelers, this event is distinctive.

“There are very few places you can fly planes of this size, speed and technology, and you can do that here,” he said. “You’re going to see some of the best planes and the best pilots in the world out here.”

Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased via www.warbirdsovertherockies.com.

“Anyone who loves an airplane and loves excitement will love this event,” O’Meara said.

They celebrated a redesigned website by guild member Susan L. Stewart, a critique of paintings and the start of a busy year.

There are monthly meetings with a demonstration or critique, frequent exhibits and one-day workshops throughout the year with professional artists. New members are welcome.

Exhibit dates: Oct. 21-Nov. 13, with a reception planned from 5 to 7 p.m. Oct. 23. (Information on entries on the heritage-guild.com website.)

Misc. Notices COMMUNITY MEETING

Janelle Lindley will give a paper painting demonstration Sept. 12. Photo by Shanna Fortier

Nature, color are at forefront for artist Castle Rock resident takes part in Colorado Artfest

By Shanna Fortier sfortier@coloradocommunitymedia.com Janelle Lindley knew from a young age that art was her thing. But when she was little, growing up in Georgia in the 1950s, everyone took piano lessons. Not art. She kept asking to take art classes, but none was available.

It wasn’t until she was in seventh grade, in Texas, that she finally took her first official painting class.

From there, she developed her craft, eventually attending Baylor University and majoring in art. Lindley taught elementary art for 18 years, and after retiring a few years ago, moved to Castle Rock.

“We always wanted to live in Colorado because we vacationed here,” she said.

Three days after she moved to the area, she participated in her first Colorado Artfest. Now, two years later, it’s one of the shows she looks forward to the most.

Nature is what inspired Lindley to create her colorful mixed media pieces.

“I do what I call paper painting,” she

said. “I like the visual texture and bright colors. This combines the two.”

The table in her basement studio was overflowing with piles of vibrantly colored paper. A large tryptic painting hung on the wall waiting for texture to be added.

When working on a piece, Lindley paints her canvas first and then takes papers that she has also painted, tears them into smaller pieces, then places them on top of the painting, until the entire canvas is covered.

“It’s fun to make that mess,” she said.

“To tear that paper and find the right spot for it — it’s almost mosaic-like.”

The papers featured in Lindley’s pieces range from handmade paper to children’s book pages, to maps and sheet music. The words and printings can be seen faintly though the paint.

“It’s fun to go up close and see the different pieces in them,” she said, as she pointed out handwritten pages in a commission she was working on. “And I love anytime I can infuse color in anything I do — I just see it that way, I see the color.”

Lindley will be one of the 170 artists showing Sept. 12 and 13 at the Colorado Artfest in Castle Rock. She will also give a demonstration of her work from 11:15 a.m. to noon Sept. 12.

COLORADO ARTFEST The 26th annual Colorado Artfest in downtown Castle Rock will highlight the talents of more than 170 exhibitors displaying a wide range of works from life-size sculptures, to photography and jewelry. The festival will run 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13. The two-day event is held in the parking lots of Town Hall and the Philip S. Miller Library. Live music will flow from the main stage all weekend and food and beverage vendors will be on site. Admission is $5 for adults.

Local teams shine at Warrior Invitational Cherry Creek girls and Arapahoe boys first at cross-country meet

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The Sept. 4 Warrior Invitational crosscountry meet proved to be a good outing for local teams as Cherry Creek was first in the girls division and host Arapahoe was first in the boys division.

“We are very happy with the way our girls ran, and I think the girls were happy too. The girls had pretty good times and the grouping of our runners was good too,” said Holly Lane, Bruins girls cross-country coach. “We are strong team with four seniors running for us. Of course, this is an early season meet and I think some of the teams didn’t run their entire varsity.”

The Warrior Invitational at deKoevend Park in Centennial is a popular early season meet.

This year there were 26 teams and a total of 183 runners competing in the girls varsity division.

There were 30 teams and 210 runners entered in the boys varsity division, In the girls varsity race, Devon Peterson set the pace for the Bruins as she ran a 19:13, and teammate Lillian Markusch was third with a time of 19:28. Cherry Creek scored 64 points to finish well ahead of Salida, which finished second with 152 points.

In the final standings, Arapahoe was sixth, Littleton was 12th and Heritage was 16th.

Arapahoe amassed 64 points to take first in the boys varsity race. Steve Goldy led the Warriors as he finished third with a time of 16:25 and teammate Mason Brevig was sixth with a time of 17:03.

Rock Canyon was second with 128 points and Cherry Creek was third with 132 points.

Littleton scored 336 points to finish 10th and Heritage runners amassed 350 points for a 13th place finish.

For several years, heavy rains and lightning have delayed or canceled the Warrior Invitational, but on Sept. 4, every race was run on schedule. The meet is run over a 5-kilometer course, where the route includes a long run on a well-worn path, small hills and a water hazard.

Warriors win opener over Legend Arapahoe’s second-half surge results in 19-6 victory

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com The first half was about even but the Warriors moved the ball more effectively in the second half as Arapahoe outscored Legend 19-6 in a Sept. 3 non-league football game at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Key moments Arapahoe kicked a pair of first-half field goals but Legend scored a touchdown late in the second quarter to lead at halftime, 7-6. However, the Warriors took the lead for good with a well-executed touchdown drive to open the second half. Arapahoe added a pair of field goals, including a 45-yard kick by Nathan Waanders to win the game, 19-6.

Key performers: Individual statistics were not reported for the game.

They said it Arapahoe coach Mike Campbell said he thought the Warriors played well overall, but he did say there was some sloppy play in the first half and the team made too many mistakes.

“We did make some adjustments at halftime to get a change of pace. For example, we put sophomore Matt Phelan in at running back. He is 5-4 and it is hard to see him behind our big offensive line, and he did a good job for us,” he said. “The

offensive line is young but they are big and aggressive but they get after it. They just kept working and I think we wore the Legend line down in the second half.”

Going forward Arapahoe will wrap up non-league play Sept. 19 on the road against Grandview and Sept. 25 on the road against Hinkley before opening league play Oct. 2 against cross-town rival Heritage at Littleton Public Schools Stadium.

Pirates lose football opener Englewood falls to Centaurus, 28-0

By Tom Munds tmunds@coloradocommunitymedia.com Englewood didn’t start the season as hoped as the Pirate football team lost the season opener to Centaurus, 28-0.

“We played hard and, if a couple things had gone our way, it could have been a different game,” Englewood coach Jay Graves said after the game. “Our thin roster hurt us, particularly late in the game and we made too many mistakes. We have to put this behind us because we are on the field next week against a very tough Kent Denver team.”

Key moments Centaurus scored first but it appeared the Pirates tied the score late in first quarter when the blocking up front opened a hole and Daryl Culbreath outran defenders all the way to the end zone. But the touchdown was nullified by a penalty. Englewood was not able to cross the goal line for the rest of the game.

Englewood teammates create a seam in the defense as Daryl Culbreath heads up the field in the Sept. 4 game against Centaurus.

Culbreath broke into the open field and won the race to the end zone but the touchdown was nullified by a penalty. Centaurus won the game, 28-0. Photos by Tom Munds

Key players/statistics Culbreath was the leading rusher for the Pirates as he carried 13 times for 80 yards. He also had 45 yards returning kicks for an all-purpose yard total of 125 yards.

Kevin Mahler carried six times for 18 yards and caught one pass for nine yards. Mason Stephanich was the receiving leader with one catch for 22 yards. Quarterback Cecil Ondack completed 2-of-10 passes for 31 yards.

The Pirates have a core of veteran starters on the line and one of them, Kyle Robideau, had to leave the game with a broken hand in the first half.

“I don’t know how it happened but my hand is broken,” he said as he sat on the sidelines. “I’ll go get a cast after the game and I plan to be back in the lineup for next week’s game.”

They said it “I am proud of our kids because they

ignored the score, they didn’t quit and they kept battling the whole game,” Graves said.

“We got kind of banged up and that is a problem for us because we have a small roster and very little depth at any of our positions.”

He said he saw some good things and he let a number of his young players get their first taste of varsity action.

“It is hard and no one likes to lose,” he said. “But we will keep battling and working hard to always be ready for the next game.

Going forward Englewood’s next home game will be Sept. 11 against Kent Denver and then the Pirates will be on the road Sept. 18 against Abraham Lincoln. Englewood will be celebrating homecoming Sept. 25, which includes a home game against Elizabeth Home games are played in Englewood High School stadium. Kickoff for all remaining home games is 6:30 p.m.

Behind the blockers, Englewood quarterback Cecil Ondack hands the football to running back Kevin Mahler during the Sept. 4 game against Centaurus. Mahler gained short yardage on the play and Centaurus went on to win the game, 28-0.

Salomess Stars Salome FOR RELEASE WEEK OF SEPT. 7, 2015 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cupid is strong in the Aries aspect this week, with the cherub opening romantic possibilities for single Lambs, and strengthening ties ‘twixt loving pairs already in a caring relationship.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your dramatic flair might make things more interesting as you recount an event to your colleagues. But be careful not to exaggerate reality to the point that facts and fancy combine to form fiction.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You love to talk, and this week you should get lots of chances to share your thoughts with people who will not only pay attention to what you have to say, but will want to hear more.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The pattern of recent changes could begin to shift from mostly workplace-related events to more personal matters. Continue to keep an open mind as you prepare to deal with them.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) An opportunity for work-related travel could be just what the Terrific Tabby needs to get a new perspective on a balky situation. The trip also could prove to be personally rewarding.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might want to suggest resolving an old disagreement before it can affect a matter expected to come up for discussion. It’s always best to start with a clean slate.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) The week favors combining dollops of creativity and practicality to work out both professional and personal problems. A longtime friend could have something of note to suggest.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Some surprising facts could come to light if you decide to probe deeper into an “opportunity” than you might usually do. What you’ll learn could determine what you’ll earn.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone close to you might seek your counsel.

Hear him/her out, but hold the line at giving actual advice until you get credible answers to all your questions.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) What seems to be an overwhelming workplace project can be dealt with quite well if you handle one category at a time. Things will soon begin to fall into place.

Super Crossword & Sudoku Answers

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A personal matter might need more of your time than you had expected. Try to prioritize between your many outside commitments and your domestic responsibilities.

Without public notices, the government wouldn’t have to say anything else.

Public notices are a community’s window into the government. From zoning regulations to local budgets, governments have used local newspapers to inform citizens of its actions as an essential part of your right to know. You know where to look, when to look and what to look for to be involved as a citizen. Local newspapers provide you with the information you need to get involved.
