Mysterious messages from beyond

MY NAME IS

The Littleton Museum invited friends and locals to listen to ghost stories and learn about the history of how people attempted to communicate with the dead on Oct. 19.

There were four bonfires across the museum’s 1860s farm, where people could listen to rotating ghost stories told in the first person as well as roast marshmallows, drink hot cider, and tell their own ghost stories. “ I think some people just come for that,” said Andrea Wilhelm, a historical interpreter at the museum.

Along with the bonfires and the ghost stories, they also had different activities set up in the blacksmith shop, showcasing “tricks that they would have used during seances or to pretend that there’s ghosts” as described by Wilhelm.

The first booth showcased how people could receive written messages from beyond, in which messages were written in lemon juice and held over a flame.

Another booth explained how people used pendulums to ask spirits questions — the person holding the pendulum would decide which way the pendulum should swing for yes and for no before asking the question. The volunteer at this booth, Ted Grooves, said that “in reality though, it’s an altered movement, the subconscious will actually drive your fingers, but the

Cecilia Hunter, a volunteer during the Walk with the Dead, shows people how mediums wrote messages from beyond. mediums wanted you to know that the spirits were contacting you.”

The old house also had old tricks people used to tell their future, mostly revolving around marriage and luck. One of the activities included a group of people standing in a circle surrounding candles of different colors. Each color was assigned a certain fate having to do with what kind of person they will marry in the future. People were given three chances to blow out the candles, with their eyes closed and standing in one spot, and whatever candles one blew out corresponded with their future partner.

Recent arrival I was born in Kansas City, Kansas — that’s the little one. I retired after 38 years as an electrician at a huge coal-fired power plant in Wisconsin. I spent most of my life in Wisconsin, but my kids and grandkids live here, so my wife and I moved out here three years ago to be near them.

Going nuclear I got drafted in 1965, and I said, “I know exactly where they want to send me,” so I ran down to the Navy recruiter, and they put me in the nuclear program. I became an electrician and reactor operator on the submarine USS Abraham Lincoln.

Life on a submarine is pretty cramped. There were 120 enlisted men and 12 officers. You never knew what day or night was. We’d leave Scotland, went out past the continental shelf, dove down, and waited there for 80 days.

Down so long The other crew would meet us in Scotland, and they’d send us back to the states for three months.

They gave you a month off

when you got back so you could turn back into a human. When we came up, our skin was pale and we didn’t even know the songs on the radio because we’d been down so long.

I don’t really miss the submarine. It was so monotonous. You never slept that well because you were waiting for something bad to happen.

Reunited and it feels so good I go to reunions all the time. There are fewer of us now, but we get to go visit the newest fast attack submarines. I was shocked — my submarine was 1950s technology. We didn’t even have transistors. The captains now can drive them with iPads.

Us old-timers go to the graduation ceremonies to support the young new submariners. There are women on the submarines now — they’re the equal of men. The wall’s been broken down. They’re every bit as qualified as the male sailors, and the Navy’s better for it.

Residents displaced after apartment fire in Littleton South Creek Apartments fire ruled accidental; all 18 units uninhabitable

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A late-night fire at South Creek Apartments, at 5891 South Nevada St., just north of Arapahoe Community College, left all 18 units uninhabitable and all residents displaced on Oct. 24.

No injuries were reported.

The fire started just before 11 p.m.

Oct. 23, according to a news release from the City of Littleton. More than a dozen firefighting vehicles and 45 firefighters responded, and firefighters worked with Littleton police officers to evacuate the building. The cause of the fire was accidental, according to the release.

Red Cross volunteers helped several families, according to a Twitter post, offering emergency assistance and support. A Red Cross spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Crews were busy boarding up the building on the morning of Oct. 24.

Cindy Grover, who said she lives on the first floor of the building with her mother — who has Alzheimer’s disease — said she was told she won’t be allowed back into her apartment for at least a week.

Fire damage is evident on a third-floor balcony at the South Creek Apartments at 5891 South Nevada Street after a late-night fire rendered all 18 units uninhabitable on Oct. 23.

“My whole life is in there,” Grover said, gesturing to her boarded-up apartment.

Firefighters went into the apartment and retrieved her mother’s medications and dentures, but she wasn’t able to get her mother’s wheelchair, Grover said.

Grover said she will likely stay with family for the time being. She said management has been responsive.

A woman who identified herself as an employee of the apartment’s management company, but would not give her name, then told Grover to stop speaking to the Independent, and said management had no comment.

The complex’s management has been very helpful, said Nathan Reynolds, who lives on the second floor.

Crews were busily boarding up the South Creek Apartments building on the morning of Oct. 24.

PHOTOS BY DAVID GILBERT “They’ve been on the phone with me all morning, and they even went in to get my wallet and my wife’s phone,” Reynolds said by phone.

One of Reynolds’ two cats was still in the apartment as of noon on Oct. 24, he said, adding that management was working to retrieve it. His other cat was taken to a shelter during the evacuation.

Reynolds said the Red Cross offered hotel vouchers to residents, and management told him they were working on finding accommodations

for displaced residents.

The apartment complex offers federally subsidized rent to low-income earners, Reynolds said. He pays $1,000 a month for a three-bedroom apartment he shares with his wife and two children.

The apartments are owned by Todd Jaycox, according to state documents.

Jaycox, the managing principal of Skyline Real Estate Investments, did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Neither did Littleton Fire Rescue.

Primrose School celebrates comeback after arson Owners tout new sustainability and security measures

From left, Primrose School mascot Percy, school owners Reza and Farima Nemat, their two sons Kurosh and Shaheen, Broncos mascot Miles, and Primrose School director Delise Evans cut the ribbon on the school’s new sustainability and security efforts.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Not yet three months after a stillunsolved arson fire ravaged their building, the faculty and parents of the Primrose preschool in south Littleton celebrated their little community’s comeback.

Though the school reopened for classes only 10 days after the latenight fire on Aug. 9, Primrose’s owners, Farima and Reza Nemat, took the crisis as a chance to improve on the school they’ve run for the last several years.

On Oct. 26, the Nemats “cut the ribbon” on the school’s environmental sustainability efforts, which included completely converting to solar power, as well as a host of security upgrades.

“We could have sat around and dwelled after the fire,” Farima said, “but we decided to look at it as an opportunity. Now we’re back bigger, better and stronger than before.”

Primrose now boasts a slew of environmentally-friendly features, from LED lighting to artificial turf to a schoolwide composting pro-

gram. The school’s carbon footprint has been reduced by 132 tons a year, said Mark Simmons, an environmental engineer hired to help revamp the school’s resource usage.

The school’s security has been beefed up with dozens of security cameras and doors that lock by remote control.

The school’s comeback is nothing short of remarkable, said Paula

Johnson, whose two young children attend the preschool.

“I think many other educators would’ve had a far harder time coming back,” Johnson said. “This is such a testament to who Farima and Reza are. They didn’t miss a beat.”

Though some parents were scared off by the unsolved arson, Reza said the school lost four of its roughly 165 families in the weeks following the

crime, but gained several new ones too.

Josh Yarmon decided to enroll his two young kids at Primrose while working on a labor crew that mitigated fire damage in the school.

“I got to know Farima and Reza during the reconstruction,” Yarmon said. “Their positivity was so encouraging. I could tell it was the sort of place I wanted my kids to go.”

Candidate hopes to get Libertarian message ‘out there’ Scott Helker, of Golden, is running for Colorado governor

Scott Helker of Golden, the Libertarian candidate for governor, jokes that the family dog, Jam, is his campaign manager.

Helker’s goal for running for the office is to get the Libertarian message “out there.”

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the race for governor, Scott Helker, the Libertarian candidate, is glad he’s coming in above the Mickey Mouse vote.

A telephone survey conducted by Magellan Strategies LLC that took place between Oct. 8-10 placed Helker at pulling 4 percent of the vote. A Mickey Mouse vote — which is when voters write-in Mickey Mouse rather than selecting any of the other candidates on the ballot — generally accounts for about 2 percent of the vote on Election Day, Helker said.

“The reality is that I’m not going to win,” Helker, 62, of Golden said. “But this is great name recognition.”

By name recognition, Helker doesn’t mean his own name. The whole goal of him running is to get the Libertarian message out there and contribute to the party’s branding, he said.

“There was nobody running for governor in the Libertarian party,” Helker said. “Someone had to do it.

People need to know who we are.”

And following his campaign, the Libertarian party will be able to learn from what went well and what went wrong, Helker said.

Helker has lived in Golden for about 20 years. With a professional background as an attorney, his focus was mostly criminal law, but would take on any case except personal injury, Helker said. He earned his law degree from the University of Denver in the 1980s, and his career history includes working in the district attorney’s office in Durango and as a public defender in San Jose County in California.

He is no longer an active attorney,

COURTESY PHOTO

but remains involved in real estate investment.

Helker met his wife Lisa in California. The two have been married for 26 years, and they’ve raised a 14-year-old daughter who attends Golden High School.

Helker joined the Libertarian Party about eight years ago.

“The interesting thing about Libertarians,” Helker said, “is that overall, Libertarians are proud to be Libertarians.”

The party’s message is “limited government and fiscal responsibility,” Helker said.

“Libertarians believe the answer to America’s political problems is a fundamental commitment to freedom and voluntary interactions between individuals: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace and free trade,” the Libertarian Party of Colorado’ website states. “Libertarians agree to work towards consistently reducing the government to produce minimum government and maximum freedom.”

If Helker were to be elected as governor, his No. 1 priority, he said, would

be to “work on the common ground, rather than that which divides us.”

“There’s got to be something that unifies us,” he said.

Some of the top issues that Helker would take on as governor include the opioid crisis, water, housing and exemptions for the bankruptcy laws concerning student loans.

During campaigning, he learned that Colorado’s rural communities have a big concern with roads, Helker said. He added their concern is not about congestion, as it is in the cities, but about getting their rural roads paved.

If elected, Helker would offer alternatives to the government solutions to these — and other — issues, he said.

The government is limited on what it can do “because of what government is,” Helker said.

“By thinking outside of the government box,” he said, “you can find a huge wave of alternative ideas.”

For example, Helker said, a solution to “potentially double the current water volumes in the Colorado River basins and refill our slowly depleting aquifers” may be to reintroduce more beavers.

Another example involves homelessness. Helker’s solution is to bring in

more tiny houses. Probably a couple hundred tiny homes could fit on a 20acre plot of land, Helker said. If given the option to move into a tiny home, it could potentially provide a person facing homelessness an opportunity to start out with cheap rent or perhaps even become a homeowner.

Helker can be considered an educational candidate, said Wayne Harlos, chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado.

“He has worked very hard to get the Libertarian word out,” Harlos said.

In Delta, Colorado, Harlos said, Helker spent three days, from “sun up to sun down” campaigning during the town’s Applefest on Oct. 4-7. About 100 people followed up, requesting information so they could learn more about the Libertarian party, Harlos said.

“Those are people who wouldn’t have had that curiosity if it weren’t for Scott’s efforts,” he said.

Campaigning has been “a really nice journey,” Helker said.

“You get to meet a lot of nice people,” he added. “It makes you proud to be a part of this state.”

Even though he’s not a Libertarian, Helker’s friend Ron MacLachlan of Denver said he believes Helker would do a “fair and just job” as governor.

Helker has the ability to truly listen to people, which makes him approachable and reliable, MacLachlan said.

“He’s not a life-long politician who has lobbyists dictating where he goes, looking for the next photo op,” MacLachlan said, adding Helker’s campaign has been largely a grassroots effort. “His willingness to get out there … speaks volumes to his character.”

This is the first time for Helker to run for any elected office, he said.

And following his run for governor, he doesn’t have any immediate plans to run for another office.

“But,” Helker said, “you never know.”

Program dedicated to youth mental health Partners for Children’s Mental Health tackle statewide issue

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In Colorado, suicide is the leading cause of death for youths ages 10-17, and one in six teens has a diagnosable mental health condition, Children’s Hospital Colorado reports.

Over the last decade, Children’s Hospital has seen a six-fold increase in admissions to its emergency departments and urgent care locations following a suicide attempt.

The hospital is committed to changing what experts describe as a youth mental health crisis.

“There isn’t a day that goes by that

you don’t have to have really difficult conversations with your kids,” Children’s Hospital Colorado CEO and President Jena Hausmann said at a roundtable discussion with local media outlets on Oct. 22. Hausmann is also the mother of three teenagers.

“This will be years worth of work,” she said.

In October, the hospital rolled out a four-year strategic plan for Partners for Children’s Mental Health, a program that brings together nonprofit organizations, pediatric experts, government agencies and stakeholders across the state to prioritize youth mental health.

The state attorney general’s office announced on Oct. 16 that it would provide a $2.8 million grant to support the program. The collaboration with hospitals and nonprofit organizations to increase access to pediatric mental health care is the first of its kind in

the state, states a news release from the attorney general’s office.

Between June and September, Partners for Children’s Mental Health initiated a strategic planning process that involved more than 600 community stakeholders representing more than 260 organizations, including state and county departments, school systems, family members, hospitals, foundations and Medicaid.

Overarching goals were to establish a state entity to oversee the children’s behavioral health system, ensure high-quality behavioral health care and reduce barriers to accessing care, among other talking points.

“There needs to be a single point of accountability,” said Shannon Van Deman, executive director of PCMH and vice president of the hospital’s Pediatric Mental Health Institute.

“There needs to be a group to oversee the needs of the patient and

family.”

PCMH has established 30 goals in areas of funding, array of services, quality, care coordination, screening and governance. The next step is to review the goals with key stakeholders and form an implementation strategy with the help of advocates and organizations from across the state.

Those interested in learning more about PCMH’s efforts should contact PCMH@childrenscolorado.org.

Children’s Hospital expects the new governor elected in November to back the mission of PCMH, said Heidi Baskfield, vice president of Population Health and Advocacy at Children’s Hospital. Funding for youth mental health is also expected to be a topic of discussion in the 2019 legislative session.

“It’s going to take that level of focus and that level of leadership,” Baskfield said.

Jackass Hill Brewery: Five things to know Craft brewhouse set to open on Main Street in December

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jackass Hill Brewery is slated to open this winter — hopefully before Christmas — at 2409 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton. Here are five things to know about the hot new place to get a cold brewski.

Started on a front porch You may have seen Jackass Hill Brewery T-shirts floating around town. The brewery, which until now has existed in name only, is the brainchild of Pat Somers, a longtime Littleton resident.

Somers has long invited friends and neighbors to watch the sunset from his porch near Jackass Hill Road, said Darcy Coghill, one of the brewery’s co-owners. Somers started calling his porch Jackass Hill Brewery, and printed up T-shirts with the name.

When Somers started selling the shirts at Western Welcome Week, people asked when the brewery would open for real, Coghill said.

“Pat got a bunch of his old friends together, and we found a location, and here we are,” Coghill said.

Brewer’s been around the block Jackass Hill Brewery landed an ex-

pert brewer in Brian Reinecke, Coghill said.

“We couldn’t ask for a more experienced guy,” Coghill said.

Reinecke started brewing at home in 1993, he said, and landed his first professional job in Kansas City in 1995. In the years since, he’s worked for Breckenridge Brewery, Southern Sun Brewery, and most recently was the head brewer for Sleeping Giant Brewing.

“Brewing just makes me happy, plain and simple,” Reinecke said. “I plan on spending a lot of time behind the bar, but I also like to mingle incognito with the patrons so I can get unfiltered feedback.”

For conoisseurs and amateurs Jackass Hill Brewery will feature 24 taps, Coghill said.

“The plan is for half of those to be our own brews, and the other half will be guest beers,” Coghill said. “We’re going to try to keep it to Colorado beers. We’ll also have a small range of small-batch spirits.”

The beers don’t have names yet, Coghill said, but early selections will include a blonde ale, a single-hop IPA, an Irish stout and a seasonal porter.

“I’m also going to try to hit some other niches,” said Reinecke, the brewer. “I want to do some gluten free, some ciders — something for everybody.”

The plan is to offer something for the discerning beer snob, Coghill said,

Jackass Hill Brewery is slated to open on Main Street in December.

as well as for newbies to the world of craft beer.

“It’s a brewpub, too, so we’ll have food like chips and salsa, quesadillas and charcuterie boards,” Coghill said.

Get ready to get educated Coghill said she hopes to educate people on the finer points of specialty brews.

“We want to make beer approachable for those who are just learning or want to broaden their knowledge,” Coghill said. “We’ll take people on an adventure through different styles.”

One plan, she said, is to make three or four different beers with the same recipe, but with a different type of hops in each one.

“You’ll be able to taste them side-byside and learn the subtle differences,”

Coghill said.

A place to gather All told, Jackass Hill Brewery will have seating for 200 people, Coghill said, with 80 seats indoors and another 120 on an outdoor patio.

Coghill said she and her cohorts are busily refurbishing the building, which was previously a bank.

“It’s going to have a more rustic Colorado feel,” Coghill said. “That means lots of brick and barnwood.”

Coghill said the company is excited to be part of downtown.

“The merchants here are so active in creating engaging events for the community, and we want to get in on that,” Coghill said. “We want to give people another reason to come to Main Street.”

Talking about safe sleep for infants

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’s not common knowledge for people to know that 3,600 babies die every year because of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or from a sleep-related infant death, said Alison Jacobson, CEO of First Candle, a national nonprofit dedicated to the education, advocacy and research of SIDS. “No one wants to talk about it,” Jacobson said. “But until we have those conversations, nothing will change.

We have to talk about it.”

To help, a partnership between First Candle and The Boppy Company — the Golden-based manufacturer of Boppy infant products — is bringing a special training class to the Denver area for the first time.

The Straight Talk for Infant Safe Sleep classes will provide attendees an opportunity to learn about the Safe Sleep Guidelines developed by The American Academy of Pediatrics.

They are trainings, Jacobson said, but “it’s really a conversation.”

Attendees will be empowered with the right information and skills to problem-solve any obstacle or challenge they may face with following the Safe Sleep Guidelines, Jacobson added.

Two Straight Talk for Infant Safe Sleep classes will be offered in Denver — one for parents and caregivers and another for healthcare professionals. Both classes take place at the mama ‘hood, which is a place for newand-expecting mothers that offers a

Parent/caregiver class: 2-3:30 p.m. Nov. 11 at the mama ‘hood, 2902 Zuni St., in Denver. This class is open to any expecting or new parent, family member or caregiver. The class is free, but attendees are asked to provide a $5 donation to benefit the scholarship program at mama ‘hood. Snacks and refreshments will be available for purchase. The first 25 people to register for the class will receive a Boppy goodie bag. To register for this class, visit https:// goo.gl/Wpe5wr.

Healthcare professionals’ class: 10 a.m. to noon Nov. 12 at the mama ‘hood, 2902 Zuni St., in Denver. This class is open to any professional in infant care including, but not limited to, doulas, midwives, lactation consultants and daycare providers. The class is free, and a free lunch will be provided following the class. To register for this class, visit https://goo.gl/v2o9Dn. variety of classes and a curated retail boutique.

The parent/caregiver class will entail an explanation of the top five of the approximate 18 Safe Sleep Guidelines, and the reasons behind these recommendations. The class will also include a group conversation to brainstorm what challenges parents face with meeting Safe Sleep Guidelines and how to overcome the challenges. The group will also share past successes and create a network of support.

This is education and training that’s difficult to find anywhere else, Jacobson said. And it needs to begin early, she added — even as early as when you start setting up the nursery, or even as soon as you learn you’re pregnant.

The healthcare professionals’ class consists of a thorough overview of the Safe Sleep Guidelines and the reasoning behind each one. This class will also include group discussions, but also role play. Attendees will learn how to create a two-way conversation with parents and gain knowledge on how they can help parents create a plan to implement safe sleep and breastfeeding in each household that considers each family’s beliefs, values and living and working situations.

Fall Fest 5K to benefit pediatric DIPG research team STAFF REPORT

Luke Morin died of a rare and highly aggressive brain tumor 17 days after he was diagnosed.

The 5-year-old had been attending The Goddard School of Denver when he was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliom, or DIPG. To help build Luke’s legacy and to support Dr. Rajeev Vibhakar’s pediatric DIPG research team at Children’s Hospital Colorado, the family and his school are planning the Goddard School Fall Fest 5K. Vibhakar’s research team is dedicated to advancing treatments and cures for DIPG. The Goddard School event hopes to raise $23,000 to help children and families affected by DIPG. More than 450 participants have registered, and more than

$15,000 has been raised.

The Goddard School Fall Fest 5K is Nov. 4, beginning at 9 a.m. Registration opens at 8 a.m., and festivities continue after the race at Central Park, 9651 E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Denver.

The cost for an individual racer is $35; racers ages 17 and younger pay $25. A family four-pack is $100, and Goddard teachers receive $15 off their registration.

Goddard schools in Arvada, Broomfield, Castle Rock Centennial, Denver, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Littleton, Parker, Thornton, Westminster and all along the Front Range will participate.

each class is 35-to-40 attendees, Jacobson said, following the training, each of those participants will have the knowledge and ability to reach at least twice that many people in their community.

It is important to spread the word about this infant-care information and education, said Mimi Wogtech, marketing manager for The Boppy Company.

The Boppy Company has had a long-time partnership with First Candle and launched its The Momkind Project — a corporate social responsibility program with a mission of educating, empowering and supporting families in their new parent journey — in March 2018, Wogtech said.

“There’s so much education for people to learn on their new parent journey, and safe sleep practices for infants is vital to healthy, growing families,” she said. “This is information that can save lives.”

Kids parade through library for Halloween

Kids settle in for storytime at Littleton’s Bemis Library on Oct. 26.

t wasn’t just the books that were filled with characters at Bemis Library on Oct. 26, as dozens of kids marched between the stacks dressed in their Halloween best.

Librarians dressed as pirates — “bookaneers,” they called themselves — passed out goodies to toddlers dressed as princesses, animals, superheroes and witches during the annual

“This is so much easier than trick-or-treating,” said Kim Male as her two kids toddled past. “It’s in the daytime, and the librarians are just so fun.”

The kids finally settled in the basement community room, where children’s librarian Val Fetters struck up a song to draw the kids’ attention.

Despite her efforts, many little eyes still darted over to the table in the corner loaded with cookies and punch.

Council continues debating short-term rental regulations

CALM AFTER THE STORM

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SM

Littleton officials are still busily hashing out regulations to govern short-term housing rentals — like those offered through Airbnb — with a finalized ordinance expected by midDecember.

City council discussed a draft ordinance given to them by the city planning commission at the Oct. 23 study session. City staff took feedback from council during the session, and will incorporate council’s suggestions into a subsequent draft of the ordinance to be discussed in open council in coming weeks.

The ordinance will likely include language limiting short-term rentals to one per owner, and require that the owner use the dwelling as their primary residence at least eight months out of the year.

Requiring owners to live on-site much of the year is important to ensuring neighborhood harmony, said Councilmember Patrick Driscoll.

“If there’s a homeowner present, s they can use their best judgment,” s Driscoll said. “They won’t let 30 peoplef c there for a party.”

The ordinance will also likely allow short-term rentals in all areas of the o m city zoned for residential use.

“I’m good with (short-term rentals) s e in all zones,” said Councilmember Kyle Schlachter, saying that if long- e term rentals are allowed in all residen-f tial zones, short-term rentals should i be too. t The ordinance would likely limit occupancy of short-term rentals to a no more than five people who aren’t a t immediate family members of the f owner. d Short-term rental operators will a likely have to apply for a license, which will require annual renewal.

The draft ordinance suggests a $20 to i $25 fee for a license, though that num- b ber may change after further study, o said City Attorney Steve Kemp.

Though the ordinance will become m binding city code as soon as it’s enact- r ed, Kemp said, currently unlicensed C short-term rental owners will effecn tively have a year-long grace period to come into compliance, with more o stringent enforcement beginning in c January 2020.

An Evening of Hope for pancreatic cancer STAFF REPORT

Paralympian Tricia Downing will share her story of resilience and self-discovery at the Evening of Hope fundraiser for Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research.

“We are excited to have Tricia as our featured speaker this year. Her message of hope in overcoming insurmountable odds will resonate with everyone,” Maureen Shul, founder and executive director of Wings of Hope for Pancreatic Cancer Research, said in a news release.

Downing, an author and motivational speaker, will deliver the keynote address at the event Saturday, Nov. 17 at Anschutz Medical Campus, Education 2, South Building, in Aurora. The fundraiser will include cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a live auction, as well as a range of inspirational stories.

Ticket and sponsorship information is available at wingsofhopepcr.org or by emailing info@wingsofhopepcr.org.

Since its inception in 2012, Wings of Hope has raised more than a half million dollars for pancreatic cancer research at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.

“Despite more people being diagnosed, pancreatic cancer remains one of the most underfunded of all the cancers when it comes to research,

making the funding raised by Wings of Hope all the more critical,” said Shul, who was driven by her own grief to launch the nonprofit organization.

“After losing my brother and mother to pancreatic cancer within months of one another, I founded Wings of Hope to find purpose and give meaning to all that was lost,” she said in the release. “When you lose the people closest to you, it has a profound impact on every facet of your life. The decision to begin Wings of Hope was entirely grief driven and changed the trajectory of my life.”

The disease, which ranks third among the leading causes of cancer deaths nationwide, has lagged in research.

“With no early diagnostic methods, effective treatments or cure, the need for aggressive research is of critical importance,” said Shul, the founding mayor of Castle Pines.

Because of the lack of early warning signs for pancreatic cancer, the chance of surviving, even for five years after diagnosis, remains just 8.5 percent. By the time of diagnosis, the disease is usually in an advanced stage. This year, more than 55,000 people will be diagnosed in the United States, though little more than 10,000 will survive, according to the news release.

City council declared a moratorium on new licenses for short-term rentals in July, after a group of citizens approached council about an unlicensed rental in their south Littleton neighborhood. Though the moratorium initially was slated to conclude in October, council extended the period to as far as January 2019 at an October meeting.

Shakespeare supposedly wrote a lot of great stuff QUIET DESPERATION

have a dab of Shakespeare (1582-1616) memorized, and that’s about it. I am a failed scholar when it comes to most of it.

Romeo and Juliet was set in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I think.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Re-elect Walcher as sheriff One of the most important decisions to be made while casting our ballots during the 2018 election is the responsibility to select those who will effectively serve our communities at the local level.

The responsibilities of those elected officials serving at the local level are most meaningful, as those who serve closest to the community know the community best and serve the community best.

Effective locally elected officials must be experienced, properly trained, wellqualified, proven leaders and dedicated to public service. The county sheriff is the elected office that most closely serves the community every day.

Dave Walcher is the only candidate for Arapahoe County sheriff who has been tested and has consistently proven himself to be a dedicated public safety professional.

Dave Walcher has demonstrated his commitment to providing our community with effective and efficient public safety services through his extraordinary experience and dedication to making a difference.

The diverse, demanding and complex responsibilities expected of our county sheriff must be accomplished by a trusted individual with relevant training, experience and a well-considered vision for public safety. That person is Dave Walcher.

Please join me in voting for a dedicated, experienced and proven public safety professional. Please vote to re-elect Dave Walcher as the Arapahoe County sheriff.

Vote for Brauchler George Brauchler is a proven leader for families, by protecting us daily from increasing criminal activity in our schools and communities.

As district attorney for more than one million people, DA Brauchler implemented new rules to make felony prosecutions harder to suppress from the public. Communities have a right to know who is committing crimes, in order to keep our families safe.

DA Brauchler’s leadership is exemplified by seeking and receiving funding to establish a human-trafficking unit. This required making the case to the commissioners of Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties, which comprise the 18th Judicial District. This humantrafficking unit is holding traffickers accountable, provides support to vulnerable victims along with support to those witnesses of crimes.

By providing guidance to one of Colorado’s largest school districts to make policy changes, DA Brauchler has helped to protect students from teachers like former Prairie Middle School teacher, Brian Vasquez, who was recently convicted of abusing several girls at the school. He is fighting to have lawmakers expand the statute of limitations so victims have more time to report a crime.

It is for the above reasons, I want an attorney general with proven experience protecting our kids and communities.

George Brauchler is that person. He is the right choice for Colorado’s next attorney general. Experience matters.

It is often misquoted: “We are such stuff as dreams are made of.”

Either way, I can gather it up and make sense of it.

Lottery win isn’t necessary to be winner in generosity

H

ow about the excitement most of us recently experienced during the lotteries?

Mega Millions turned into billions of dollars and Powerball, WINNING as of the writing WORDS of this column, is creeping up on a billion dollars too.

Wow, talk about excitement, energy, and hope … just incredible.

Now I know that we all don’t play the lottery, as a matter of fact, I Michael Norton am not someone who would normally play the lottery either.

And in other posts and blogs I really advocated for people not to gamble their life savings away or compromise their ability to pay their bills or provide for their families as they caught up in lottery fever.

Yet, like many of you and others around the country, I had this feeling that I should at least buy a ticket or two. After all, you got to be “in it to win it,” right? I mean the odds are in our favor at a 1 in 300 million chance to win?

What I have enjoyed most as I watched the pot build and the potential winnings escalate week after week is talking with the people who were so hopeful and optimistic.

Or overhearing those same conversations by others near me in a restaurant, in the grocery line, or on an airplane. The hope was contagious.

You know how the conversations go don’t you? You have probably heard them or have been in them yourself.

And they sound something like this, “When I win the lottery I am going to …” or “If I win the lottery I am going to …” And we can fill in the blanks with everything that we have heard or maybe even thought of ourselves.

Pay off all my debt and the debt of my family. Donate 50 percent to charity. Buy a house in this neighborhood or that city.

Support my church and the missions that we finance. Buy a boat, no not a boat, a yacht. No not a yacht, a fleet of yachts. And the list goes on and on. It is fantasy land, it is fun to dream, it is a vortex of hope in the land of hope and dreams.

Vote no on 112 I am asking you to join me in voting no on Proposition 112. It would put 85 percent of non-federal lands in Colorado off limits to drilling for oil and natural gas.

You can find the report prepared by the state government that came up with this figure at cogcc.state.co.us, dated July 2, 2018. The remaining lands in Colorado would be effectively off limits as well because of the proposition’s deliberately vague language.

I can’t think of any other legislation or ballot initiatives in recent history that would shut down an entire industry. There would be significant tax and employment losses to Colorado.

Proposition 74 is leading in the polls, and if it passes too, the state could have to pay billions on compensation for mineral rights and leases that would be rendered worthless by Proposition 112.

Two years ago, the state strengthened the rules and regulations regarding drilling for oil and gas. These

rules were drafted with input from all stakeholders – industry, legislators, regulators, local goverments, landowners and environmental groups.

I am proud that my parents and I have worked in an industry that provides the oil and natural gas which are essential to the prosperity and standard of living we enjoy today. My family would not be affected, because less than 3 percent of our revenue comes from wells in Colorado, but Proposition 112 is disastrously bad public policy.

There has been a loss in the state share of funding to the tune of $25.1 million that would have gone into the district’s operating budget over the past decade. Amendment 73 would be a long-term fix after a decade of cuts.

Colorado invests about $2,000 less than the national average on each student.

And Colorado teachers are the most underpaid in the nation, according to one study.

Amendment 73 would raise $4.8 million for Englewood Schools and it gives our district the control needed to address its biggest priorities.

This proposal creates equitable and sustainable funding for our schools by having those who have benefited the most from our booming economy contribute more, coming closer to paying an equal percentage of taxes as others.

All the while keeping Colorado’s status as a low-tax state. Even with Amendment 73 passing, it will take more than five years of this new funding to repay the past shortfalls.

Amendment 73 will help fix a broken state funding system that places too much pressure on districts to pass local property tax measures. Everybody wins when our kids attend well-resourced, inviting classrooms and learn from caring, dedicated educators. Our students deserve nothing less. Vote Yes on Amendment 73.

Clarification on assessor’s duties Ms. Engel’s letter supporting PK Kaiser is potentially misleading to the senior citizens of Arapahoe County.

The property tax exemption for senior citizens is a State of Colorado program that is administered by the local assessor’s office. The assessor does not have the power or legal authority to “increase exemptions for seniors” as stated in the letter. The amount of the exemption and annual funding authorization are set by the state and not at the county level. Similarly, the assessor’s office does not build affordable housing, finance affordable housing, or even approve affordable housing projects, so any “work to expand affordable housing” is clearly outside the scope of the assessor’s duties.

The voters of Arapahoe County need to be aware of these inconsistencies and conflicts between campaign rhetoric and the actual duties and obligations required of the county assessor.

long with traffic and housing costs, the population boom in the Denver metro area can affect a less obvious part of residents’ lives: navigating the dating world.

“While that doesn’t make us different from New York or San Francisco, it is a change here,” said Dr. Tracy Bacon, a sociology professor at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. “It makes dating a lot harder because dating is expensive.”

From deciding when to move a relationship under one roof to the types of people in the dating pool, Bacon said, a changing population can make the nerve-wracking process even more complex. Added obstacles among young people

can affect looking for marriage, too.

“Most people do still get married eventually, but I feel like with millennials, the difficulty with finding financial stability, finishing education and having all these student loans can make a long-term marriage commitment seem kind of far off,” Bacon said.

But singles can also benefit from a wealth of ways to meet people in the metro area — and it goes far beyond sitting awkwardly in a bar or swiping through faces on a phone.

Young and crowded Many people are moving for reasons like tech-industry jobs or education, and young professionals may have a large dating pool in the Denver area, Bacon said.

t will surprise no one to hear that there are many, many differences between life in New York City and Denver. But comedian and podcaster Crystal Beth has come across one that may not be immediately obvious to most.

COMING “I asked people for ATTRACTIONS recommendations on good therapists, and found out people here don’t really talk about that,” she said. “In New York, all we do is cry on the subway and talk about which therapist we’re seeing.”

Beth and her husClarke Reader band John Robert moved to Colorado about five months ago in search of more affordable space to do what they love—- tell stories, whether that’s through a microphone or on a stage.

“We wanted a room that we could dedicate to our podcasting operation and have permanently set up all the equipment we use for our shows,” Beth explained. “We’ve also started Box W Media, a company that will hopefully allow us to produce podcasts for others.”

The pair recently wrapped up a podcast called “The Fifth Eleminute” which was a minute-by-minute examination of the cult-favorite science fiction film. They’re also part of Unlimited Lives Radio, a video game podcast they host with Carlo Rojas and T.J. Del Reno.

Telling stories is a talent Beth picked up from her mother. It was from her mother’s example that Beth learned what makes a good story (or joke) — having a good button at the end that calls back to the beginning.

“You want something that brings it all together,” Beth explained. “A good story doesn’t have to be happy all the way through or anything like that. But it does need to make the listener feel like the speaker is talking directly to them.”

The world of podcasting is evergrowing and competitive, which means that while there are plenty of opportunities for people to talk about what they love, not everybody has the talents to make it entertaining or turn podcasting into a sustainable business.

Like all things, developing a good podcast takes dedication and practice.

“I love stand-up comedy, but I don’t do it to become a famous comedian,” Beth said. “I do it to work on my writing, develop my voice and figure out what makes people laugh.”

Beth’s work allows her to not only discuss things she loves, but also to be open about struggles with anxiety, insecurities and other challenges that she and so many other people experience every day.

Rox Arts Gallery moves — a little Aspen Grove venue remains in center but changes units

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

spen Grove shoppers may have noticed a parade of folks carrying paintings, panels, pottery and miscellaneous items up the sidewalk recently. How do you move an art gallery a short distance?

The new address for the Rox Arts Gallery at Aspen Grove is Suite 330, after individual artist/members were called upon to schlep their own works, plus display fixtures, a short distance north from the former address, Suite 514, to the new space, Suite 330, just north of Starbucks.

It is a larger space — almost twice as large — which promises room for more artists, according to an early October note from Rox Arts Council President Priscilla Wohl. (New artists are juried in — see roxartscouncil. org.)

The council had originally rented their space on a month-to-month basis, to see if this was a viable idea.

And it has been an attraction to art lovers, shoppers and people interested in attending classes, offered at varying levels of difficulty, including for kids — in various techniques.

A dedicated space for classes will be a Rox Arts Gallery welcome addition, as things had to be moved at Aspen around to make space Grove, 7301 in the former gallery.

S. Santa Since Aspen Grove Fe Drive, Littleton. See management had a new roxartscoun- national chain tenant wanting Suite 514, the cil.org for membership gallery had to vacate by information. the end of October.

Fortunately, a new, Members are juried into the larger space was organization. available — Rox Arts Gallery got new keys Oct. 15 and now has a long-term lease.

Current members volunteered to clean, paint, install new slat walls, build storage and more, within a short time frame.

Roxborough Arts Council is a longrunning, membership-based 501(c) (3) organization that includes artists from throughout the south metro area and opened its gallery last week at the new address.

Since moving is always expensive despite volunteer help, a silent auction of works donated by members will begin Nov. 2. Art will be on display from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays to Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays, with a Grand Reopening reception on Nov. 9 from 5:30 to 8 p.m., where successful bidders will be announced. You can take your purchase home that night.

IF YOU GO

Roxborough Arts Gallery member Stacy Robinson transfers her work to the new RoxArts location at Aspen Grove #330, where the council can expand operations a bit and have more room for classes.

One can drop off a written bid until into the evening on Nov. 9. (I can imagine some last-minute excitement that night, with bidding getting competitive for some items!)

There will also be a GoFundMe page accessible through the website — or donations will be welcomed. The move

will cost an estimated $8,000.

Contributing artist/members include: Kathy Beach, pottery; Jim Bennett, photography; Rita Campbell, watercolor; Tom Cooper, photography; Patty Dwyer, oils; Tracy Eagle, fabric; Kari Erickson, pottery; Julie Fisher, watercolor; Candace French, mixed media; Jeanie Gebhart, acrylic painting; Pat Greener, fused glass; Leah Hendricks, mixed media; Brian Hubbell, oils; Patricia Jenkins, resin; Karen Kennedy, mixed media; Holly Lanham, jewelry; Tony Lazzari, photography; Maryann Leake, mixed media; Teri McCans, watercolor; Michaela May, pottery; Randy May, sculpture; Tammy Medsker, resin; Valorie Snyder, oil painting; Donna Trunz, jewelry; Brynda Turner, silver jewelry; and Priscilla Wohl, jewelry.

The perfect holiday gift may be waiting there.

Gallery hours conform to Aspen Grove’s regular hours for its nearly 50 merchants: 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. MondaysSaturdays; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.

A monthly open house, with artists in attendance and refreshments, is held the second Friday of the month. The gallery won’t miss a beat, starting with the Nov. 9 celebration.

If you go: Rox Arts Gallery at Aspen Grove, 7301 S. Santa Fe Dr., Littleton. See rocartscouncil.org for membership information. Members are juried into the organization.

Football player has sky-high hopes Gianni Palazzo of Heritage sets sights on Air Force Academy

ianni Palazzo plays football and runs track at Heritage High School.

So it’s natural to figure he might find a relaxing way to spend his free time.

However, Palazzo hopes to get into the Air Force Academy, and most of his off time is focused on making sure he has the grade point average and meets the eligibility requirements to attract the attention of Air Force.

“I’m trying to get into the Air Force Academy and everything I do is to get into there,” said Palazzo. “I have a lot of homework because I’m in a lot of AP (Advance Placement) classes. I do some clubs. I did TSA (Technology Student Association) club last year. I like to build stuff.”

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior is building a solid resume with a high average per carry and reception that might appeal to AFA football coach Troy Calhoun or other college coaches.

“Half-time I’m in the backfield and half-time I’m a slot receiver,” explained Palazzo, who abandoned soccer as a youngster to play football. “Last year I was a quarterback. I was really good at running back and I wasn’t the best at quarterback. Coach wanted to get me out in the open field with the ball.

“I don’t know the national average is but I know mine is better. If I keep averaging over 10 yards per carry, it will get college coaches to look at me. I want to get a lot of good film to send to coaches and be a good leader for my team.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘He is having a spectacular season and is a great kid that is looking to go to Air Force.’

Tyler Knoblock Heritage football coach

JIM BENTON

Q&A with Palazzo Who is your favorite athlete?

I’ve always like Charles Woodson and Aaron Rodgers. They are Packers and Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL right now.

to 10.0 yards per carry and two touchdowns per game.

What would be a perfect performance in your sport?

Over 160 yards and three touchdowns because I’m trying to keep the average up

What are your plans after high school?

Hopefully get into the Air Force Academy and if not go to a college and get a degree in engineering.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

I just enjoy math and I’m calculus 3 right now.

What is your favorite football play?

Power, which is just a run play.

How to you feel about the new safety rules in football?

I don’t like them that much because it changes football.

Normally you could hit somebody hard and that was a great play, now it’s a foul. It takes away from the game.

Have a suggestion for whom to feature in Student-Athlete Spotlight?

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | In the eight games, Palazzo has rushed for 611 yards for an average of 76.4 yards per game and 9.1 yards per carry. He has caught six passes for 135 yards for an average of 22.5 yards per catch. And he leads the 4A Metro League with 15 touchdowns and 90 points.

have admitted this before, but often I have a tendency to like the old way that things were done.

However, I welcome the change the Colorado High School Activities Association adopted for the state volleyball tournament with the elimination of pool play.

The tournament will now be a three-day afOVERTIME fair instead of two days and matches will have a good chance to start when scheduled.

Along with the extra day, many fans will still have to deal with the adventure Jim Benton of maneuvering their cars around the dips in the parking lot at the Denver Coliseum.

But, at least after getting parked, they won’t have to watch a meaningless pool play match between two teams that have already been eliminated from advancing by the third team in the pool.

All five classes will qualify 12 teams for the state tournament, which will be held Nov. 8-10 at the Denver Coliseum. An Olympic cross-over double elimination bracket format will be used to determine the semifinal teams and then it will be single elimination.

Regional tournaments will be held Nov. 3 and the 12 regional champions from three-team regional pools advance into the state tournament.

“I am looking forward to the new format,” said Lutheran coach Alicia Oates who is in her 14th season as Lions coach. “I feel like 3A this year will have a really strong bracket across the board, so it will be exciting to see how it plays out. A team could lose in the first round and still come back to win the entire tournament.

“It will also be beneficial to not have tie-breakers pushing back start times. As with any change, I am sure there will be some feelings of `I liked it better the old way’ but in the long run I think it will be great competition, a fun environment and a welcome change.”

Valor Christian coach Kaitlyn Hastings also casts a vote in favor of the change.

Cherry Creek girls second, Heritage boys third at state Cross country titles decided at course in Colorado Springs

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Cherry Creek cross country coach Ethan Dusto knew his team had a good chance to finish second in the state cross country meet Oct. 27 at the Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs.

Mountain Vista was the strong favorite to take the championship, and the Golden Eagles did just that. The Bruins finished in second place ahead of Centennial League rival Cherokee Trail.

Creek lost the Centennial League

title to Cherokee Trail on Oct. 11 by three points despite having five girls in the top 10.

However, it was a different story at the state meet.

The Bruins, with three freshmen, a sophomore and three juniors on the seven-member team, were 44 points behind Mountain Vista, which won its second straight title.

“We knew going into this it was going to take a real good day on our part to beat Cherokee Trail to get second place,” said Dusto. “We knew Vista wasn’t in our league. We went after it. We had six kids in the top 40 at the mile. That set the tone and those girls just stayed together, pushed each other and had a strong finish.”

CROSS COUNTRY

A friend of mine in Australia, Martin, recently reminded me of something that has nothing, and yet everything to do with our recent lottery frenzy. He was telling me about a moment of personal reflection and prayer where he felt led to act upon the thought, “Don’t worry about doing something big Martin, just do something good.”

Think about that for a moment.

We don’t have to win the lottery to do something good, we can be doing good right now.

As always, I love talking with people in the community. And as I waited in line to buy my own tickets, I really enjoyed the conversations I had with people.

The smile in their eyes, the hope in their hearts, their very best of intentions revealed if only they could buy the winning ticket.

Hope was born. Now I am not saying that they didn’t already have hope, but I think you would agree

with me that the recent lottery fever had many people even more hopeful than they were before.

With all of those millions and billions of dollars we had won in our minds, we were willing to change our lives, our family’s lives, our community, our house of worship, and in some way even the world. It feels so good to hear those thoughts and have those thoughts doesn’t it?

Let’s take away the millions and billions of dollars for now, as it is only a matter of time before we do win. But let’s pretend that we never win that much money, can we still find that same passion and sense of purpose of how we can help others?

Can we think about the changes we want to make in our own lives, as small as they may be, and make those changes anyway?

Can we walk into the store to buy something other than a lottery ticket and still have hope filled and hopeful conversations with people we run into? Can we donate a few dollars instead of millions?

As I close I want to share with you something Zig Ziglar used to say about money. Zig would say, “I have

had money and I haven’t had money, all things being equal, I would rather have money. Money is kind of like oxygen, when you really need it, there is no substitute.

But here’s the thing with money; money will buy you a bed, but not a good night’s sleep; money will buy you a house, but not a home; money will buy you a companion, but not a friend; and money will buy you a good time, but not peace of mind. You see, we want all the things money will buy, but we also want more of the things money won’t buy.”

So how about you? Are you hopefilled and hopeful whether you win the lottery or not? Can you make good contributions today and not wait or worry about having to do something big? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can remember just how powerful hope is, and how we can make a difference today, it really will be a better than good week.

Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the president of the Zig Ziglar Corporate Training Solutions Team, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2. The hub of the event is the 40 West Arts Gallery, 1560 Teller St. in Lakewood.

All of the district’s galleries, studios and creative businesses will be open to the public and visitors to the district will see multiple exhibits inspired by Diá de los Muertos, including altars and pieces by local grade school students. Aztec dancers in traditional costume and fire artists will also be performing.

For more information, visit www.40westarts.org.

The concert will also feature special guests Alynda Segarra from Hurray for the Riff Raff and Andrea Gibson. It’s going to be a special show, and you won’t want to miss it.

Heritage was third in the boys team standings, with senior Ian Kelly leading the way with a seventh-place finish in 16:14.5.

“The first couple miles were a little tough, but then I picked it up,” said Kelly. “It’s all the mentality, knowing you can do it. It takes time. It’s just a matter of believing in yourself. If you believe in yourself, you can do it. I did good. I put it all out there and that’s all you can do. I’m happy.”

For the Creek girls, Riley Stewart capped a banner freshman season by finishing fifth to lead the Bruins.

Shelby Balding, another freshman, was 11th and junior Lauren Lap Porte was 13th.

Stewart, who was timed in 18:42.5, was the race leader at the mile mark but two-time state champion Jenna Fitzsimmons of Mountain Vista soon took the lead and notched what turned out to be a 13-second victory over second-place Taylor Whitfield of Valor Christian.

Cherry Creek had two boys run as individuals and freshman Parker Wolfe was fourth.

Wolfe was clocked in 15:56.9.

“I felt like I ran pretty well,” he said.

“I worked hard all season and it paid off. The first half mile I was behind and back in the pack. Once I hit the mile mark, I started to go.”

“I really do like the new format,” she said. “The majority of us coaches in Jeffco were in agreement that this avoided a lot of the issues we saw with the old format. There is no need for tie-breakers which at times would often set up one or more teams for a disadvantage coming in to the semifinals and finals, having played many more sets than the opponents.

“There are not matches that are being played that don’t have an impact on the outcome of the tournament.

Much like stand-up comedy, podcasting is a predominantly male industry. But Beth is eager to work with women, people of color and members of the LGBTQ community to tell stories and share voicies on stages (both physical and digital) that have otherwise been shunted off to the side. As long as they don’t become more successful than her, she adds with a laugh.

Celebrate Diá de los Muertos with a cultural wallk Halloween is on a Wednesday this year, which makes it a little difficult to properly celebrate the holiday.

But Diá de los Muertos is from Oct. 31 through Nov. 2 — in other words, more time to celebrate.

To celebrate the traditional holiday, Lakewood’s 40 West Arts District is marking it with its First Friday event “It keeps things running on time so that the state championship match is at a set time and not dependent on tie-breakers and delayed until late evening as it has been every year we have been at the tournament.”

Hastings, the third-year Eagles coach and a former head coach at Denver West and Hart County in Hartwell, Georgia, had to adapt to less preparation time during the state tournament..

“In Georgia where I was previously coaching, we had one round of the playoffs each week, so it was spaced out and you could really prepare for the one team you were

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Jim James at the Paramount Theatre There are certain singers who can do things that seem practically inhuman with their voices. Kentucky’s Jim James, the lead singer and songwriter of My Morning Jacket, is one of those singers for me. This year James has released two albums with different approaches on the same songs — “Uniform Distortion” and “Uniform Clarity.”

In honor of the albums, James is going on a first-ever solo tour, featuring just him and longtime touring drummer David Givan play songs from his entire oeuvre. He’ll be stopping by the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place, at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6. going to play and we played at the higher seed which gave the upper seed a home-court advantage,” she explained. “I definitely like elements of this as well but there is something to be said about the great atmosphere that is at the Coliseum with all the teams vying for a championship.”

DATING FROM PAGE 14

For people who aren’t as educated or have lower income, dating may be difficult here, Bacon guessed.

“Theoretically, anyone can fall in love with anyone,” said Bacon, adding that people can find love across educational divides. “But realistically, we end up with people who are a lot like us.”

The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan statistical area — which includes Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties — was ranked by Forbes as the sixth-best metro area nationwide for young professionals based on factors like the unemployment rate, job growth and other factors in 2017. People age 20 to 34 made up about 23 percent of that metro area in 2017, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.

That metro area also had the 10thhighest percentage of college graduates among people age 25 to 34 in large metro areas nationwide, according to a February report by the Brookings Institution based on 2015 numbers.

For out-of-state residents moving to the metro area, meeting people can be difficult, particularly if they have jobs where they work remotely in their apartments, said Dr. Mary Ann Watson, a clinical psychologist and professor emerita at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

And when young people do meet, housing can become a challenge, Bacon said.

“Younger people are living with their

parents more,” Bacon said. That’s not a deal-breaker, but “it’s a little harder to date if you’re living at home as an adult. You might see people moving in together before they want to because it saves money — more of a financial decision than a good relationship decision.”

part in meetups, centering around interests like dogs, cooking, tennis and “all sorts of opportunities,” Watson said. “I find that’s usually much more helpful. Particularly, volunteer opportunities are a good way to meet people.”

Craig Barber, a Littleton-area resident who runs meetups on the 5280 Singles, 5280 Singles Over 40 and 5280 Singles Adventures groups, said young singles should stop relying so much on technologies.

“Social media isn’t even social,” said Barber, whose meetup groups boast more than 10,000 members combined.

“Social is talking.”

But online dating can have its upsides, and it’s much less stigmatized than it was years ago, Bacon said.

“When online dating came out, people were like, ‘Oh, what’s wrong with you?’” Bacon said. But “in some ways, it makes it easier — you can weed people out. When you’re in a city with so many people, it’s much more efficient.”

Online and face to face Despite the popularity of dating apps like Tinder, many people in their 20s often continue their “college kind of dating experiences” — namely, in bars, Watson said.

“I’m not sure that’s a very good setting,” Watson said. “In a bar with 200 people there, there might be one or two people more compatible with you.”

Watson contrasted that with volunteering or attending a meetup, a group activity organized online. Meetup.com has options throughout the metro area — from Castle Rock up to Thornton and in between.

People age 30 and up commonly take

Gender and age The nickname “Menver,” given to Denver because of a perceived gender imbalance, dates back years and has caught on in local media — and the statistics appear to back it up in the dating world.

In the metro area — the broad Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, 10-county definition — males outnumber females roughly 224,000 to 183,000 among ages 20 to 34 for people who have never married, according to 2017 Census Bureau data. That gap remains wide all the way up through ages 55 to 59, according to the data.

For LGBTQ singles, gay bars sit in

MEETUPS IN AREA Some events and meetups in the area. For the meetups, there are several other options per area — these are some examples.

• Littleton Comedy Meetup — Focused on scene work and improvisation: meetup. com/Littleton-Comedy-Meetup/ • Highlands Ranch Cycling Club: meetup.com/ Highlands-Ranch-Cycling-Club/ • Castle Rock Vegans: meetup.com/CastleRock-Vegans/ • Parker Dungeons & Dragons Meetup — For the role-playing game: meetup.com/Parker-Dungeons-Dragons-Meetup/ • Parker-Franktown-Elizabeth Paper Crafting Club: meetup.com/Parker-FranktownElizabeth-Paper-Crafting-Club/

central Denver — people in places like Aurora, Highlands Ranch and the outskirts of the metro area are “kind of restricted to coming into town,” Watson said.

Other options include LGBTQ choruses and even LGBTQ issue-based groups, given the current political climate, Watson said. Many meetups are geared toward LGBTQ residents in the area.

For older singles in their 60s and 70s, existing friends can be a road to new connections, Watson said.

“Let them know you’re open to meeting new people or dating new people,” Watson said.

Meetup groups are successful with older singles, too, said Watson, who encouraged them to rekindle activities and interests they haven’t taken up since earlier in life.

Celeste Tarantola, an Arvada resident who said she’s middle-aged, was looking to get out and interact with people after a relationship ended. She doesn’t believe in dating sites, she said, but meetups “got me out of my apartment.” She sat at one such event Oct. 26, watching people learn steps to a country-style dance at Stampede, a country bar and club on the west edge of Aurora.

Barber, who organized the event and sat next to Tarantola, said in an area with such an influx of outsiders, people will encounter different viewpoints, and it’s important to listen and be caring. But in general, his dating advice boiled down to having fun.

“Go out and do the things you like,” Barber said. “Live life, because life is short. That way, at least you’ll have something in common.”

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You usually have no problem rushing to the defense of someone you perceive as being treated unjustly. But perceptions could be deceiving this week. Check the facts before you act.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before you point fingers at who might be to blame for the unexpected change in your plans, take a few moments to reflect on how this turn of events might be a blessing in disguise.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You seek out advice in the first part of the week. But be careful not to let counsel from others overshadow your own sense of perception. Things become clearer by the week’s end.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The trusted colleagues you relied on earlier continue to offer support with your project. But you take more control, and by the week’s end, you should be in full command.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Rely on your practical side while exploring investment possibilities. Caution is still your watchword in these matters. Your social life takes a gratifying turn by the week’s end.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An already confusing situation appears to grow murkier during the first part of the week. But it all starts to clear by the week’s end. Plan to spend the weekend with someone special.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a passion for life that inspires others to follow your example. You could be a motivational speaker.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Keep your feelings to yourself as you work through an awkward circumstance.

Complaining is useless, and also unwise since your words could come back to haunt you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A sudden flash of Bovine practicality shows you how you might be able to turn your artistic pursuits into a profitable venture. A spouse or partner offers some sage advice.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be prepared with several “Plan Bs” that you might have to use as backups just in case you encounter some troublesome complications with your carefully constructed schedule.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might think you’ll never have a free moment again with the demands of the workplace piling on. Cheer up. The pressure eases as holiday time nears.

An old friend brings good news.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your Leonine pride might make it difficult to offer an apology to a co-worker you unintentionally offended. But a quick and sincere “I’m sorry” could prevent problems down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) This is a good time to tackle those backed-up chores that have kept you from moving into other, potentially more worthwhile projects. A personal matter needs your attention.
