Chili cook-off raises money for fallen officers Second annual Hometown Heroes event held at historic Schweiger Ranch

S

ome of Douglas County’s top chili cooks gathered at Schweiger Ranch Sept. 15 for the second annual Hometown Heroes Chili Cook-Off and Family Festival.

The event, hosted in conjunction with the Douglas County Elks, Castle Rock Kiwanis and Castle Rock Knights of Columbus, raised money for the Fallen Officer Fund, a charity that provides financial support for the families of fallen law enforcement officers.

“With all that goes on in the world, and all the tragic events, it’s nice to look forward to something to bring the community together with law enforcement,” said Cpl. Andrew Montes of the Lone Tree Police Department.

Last year the cook-off raised more than $7,200 for the fund. All police agencies in Douglas County, including Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock police departments as well as the Douglas County Sheriff ’s office, were in attendance. Various groups donated items for auction for charity, including police and deputy ride-alongs and gift baskets.

The cook-off began as a pancake breakfast fundraiser to raise money for Dan Brite, a detective with Douglas County Sheriff, who was shot in September 2016. The fundraiser raised more than $6,000 and the following year the group hosted the first Home-

More affordable housing in the works for Douglas County

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

More affordable housing is planned for Douglas County in the near future.

Plans to construct an affordable housing apartment building near South Jamaica Street and Inverness Parkway continued moving ahead after the Douglas County Board of Commissioners authorized the county’s housing partnership to issue up to $32 million in private activity bonds to fund the project.

Diane Leavesley, executive director of the Douglas County Housing Partnership, said the Apex Meridian II apartment building is the second phase in what’s been a highly sought-after housing project.

The first phase, developed by Shea Properties in 2014 and dubbed Apex Meridian, brought 156 affordable apartment units to the northern border of Douglas County near Interstate 25 and C-470.

“It has been full since the day it opened,” Leavesley said.

County documents show the first phase in the Apex Meridian project was fully leased before construction was completed.

“I just want to really make a statement about the success of that and how fast those units were taken up,” said Commissioner Roger Partridge, calling affordable housing key for the county’s residents.

Leavesley said when speaking to Colorado Community Media about the county’s affordable housing program in April the Apex project at one point had a waitlist of over 1,000 people, and that it could have been higher had officials not capped it.

In this next phase, the goal is to build 156 additional apartment units, all of which would be affordable housing. According to 2018 income requirements, a family of four with a total household income of up to $53,940 could be

eligible to live in the Apex Meridian apartments. The requirement for a single-person household income is no more than $37,800 and up to $48,600 for a three-person household.

Leavesley said they hope construction can begin in December and that the entire project can be completed by June 2020.

The newest apartments will be located on unincorporated county land close to transportation hubs like RTD’s Lincoln Station and large employers like Charles Schwab. In total, the project will cost $37 million, compared to $27 million for phase one.

The development will include a pool, clubhouse and fitness room for tenants.

The bonds would fund construction, among other aspects of the project.

Rent for phase two apartments will be comparable to phase one, although both rates will go up by the time phase two opens in 2020, Leavesley said. A one-bedroom unit at Apex Meridian

currently starts at just under $950. Rent is $1,127 for a two-bedroom unit and $1,290 for a three-bedroom apartment, according to the Apex website.

Those rents are significantly lower than market rent in Douglas County and the metro area as a whole.

The median rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Lone Tree, the city nearest to the new apartment building, was $1,580 a month in August, according to apartmentlist.com. For a two-bedroom unit in Lone Tree, the median rent was $2,000, according to the website, which analyzes rental trends across the nation. Rents were slightly lower in other parts of Douglas County, according to the site, and quite a bit lower in Denver — $1,070 for a one-bedroom apartment and $1,350 for a two-bedroom unit.

“We have housed a lot of our Douglas County workers in that project,” Leavesley said of the first phase, “and we’re looking forward to doing it again.”

Old latex paint?

Don’t flip out! Dry it out!

Have you been stockpiling cans of latex paint, waiting for the next Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup? Good news – latex paint is water-based and safe to throw away, if prepared properly. If the paint is completely dry, simply remove the lid and throw the can away.

If there is still wet paint in the can, mix in some dirt or cat litter to fully absorb it. Once it is dry, throw it away. Save yourself a trip to the Roundup (and the $25 contribution) if you have water-based paint.

Remember, this only applies to water-based latex paint, and NO paint can be dumped in the gutter or thrown in the trash wet.

Make a difference in keeping our waterways clean by practicing cost-effective ways to dispose of materials properly.

School board to keep current policy on medical marijuana in place Parents confront board about updating policy

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Since Benjamin Wann started taking medical marijuana nearly three years ago, he hasn’t had a seizure.

Wann, a junior at Mountain Vista, was diagnosed with epilepsy at 3 years old.

In 2014, Sarah Porter’s 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. Her options were colon surgery or the pharmaceutical drug route. Instead, Porter moved her family to Colorado so her daughter could have access to medical marijuana.

She’s now thriving at Soaring Hawk Elementary School in Castle Rock.

“It has been a long road to health and she has worked so hard to fill the gaps in her education,” Porter said at the Aug. 21 Douglas County School Board Meeting. “This past year at Soaring Hawk is the first year she has completed since second grade.”

At the meeting, parents of students who are prescribed medical marijuana for chronic medical conditions asked the board of education to update its current policy on the administration of medical marijuana on schools grounds.

Two parents pleaded with the board to change its policy from allowing only parents to administer medical marijuana to approved students on school grounds to also allowing school nurses to store and administer treatment, which is in line with a law passed earlier this year. The change in policy would save parents’ time, they said. The board is taking a recommendation from the district’s health staff and keeping its current policy, according to school board President David Ray. In 2016, the board approved a policy aligned with state law, allowing parents or primary caregivers to administer medical marijuana products, hemp oils and other cannabinoid products to qualified students on district property, according to Ray. “The board was pleased to be one of the first to put in place a policy allowing administration of these substances by parents/guardians (when recommended by a physician) as we certainly recognized the tremendous benefits for some students,” Ray said in an email correspondence. “There are many success stories for these students who previously suffered from debilitating physical and cognitive issues.”

In June of this year, the statute on administering medical marijuana on school grounds was revised to allow at a district’s discretion “a school nurse,

‘There are many success stories for these students who previously suffered from debilitating physical and cognitive issues.’

David Ray, Douglas County School Board president the school nurse’s designee, who may or may not be an employee of the school, or school personnel designated by a parent to possess and administer medical marijuana to a student at school.”

Updating the current policy would save time and resources, parents said during public comment at the board meeting.

“Parents need to go to work and obviously some parents have past medical expenses and need to work,” said Amber Wann, Benjamin Wann’s mother. “It is nice that they don’t have to come to school campus during the day if a staff member is willing. We have heard of principals and other staff willing to administer cannabis medicine for patients who are students here.”

The school board left the decision to change the current policy to the district’s health personnel.

“Currently, their recommendation is that a policy change not be considered given that these substances are unregulated by the federal government, and marijuana has a designation as a controlled substance,” Ray said.

Ray pointed out that the Colorado Association of School Nurses opposes the new law. Administering a drug that is illegal at the federal level puts registered school nurses’ licenses at risk, the association’s website says.

Storing marijuana on school grounds — which the new law allows — poses risks to safety and who has access to the drug, Ray said. The school board will continue to support its current policy.

“At the present time, the BOE is pleased that parents of students who benefit from these substances are allowed to administer it on school property to prevent minimal interruption to the child’s school day,” Ray said.

State’s suicide rate is high, but addressable, experts say Colorado’s Office of Suicide Prevention works to build resources, spur action

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Suicide in Colorado is often talked about in terms of statistics — the state is consistently in the top 10 in the country for suicide deaths.

But to Sarah Brummett, the director of the state Office of Suicide Prevention, the real story is not in numbers, but in working to impact the lives of the individual people struggling with suicidal thoughts.

“It’s about so much more than prevention and intervention,” Brummett said. “That’s like waiting for someone to show up in the emergency room with a heart attack, rather than talking about the lifestyle changes to prevent heart disease.

We’ve got to talk about community health and wellness, about seeing suicide as part of a web of issues.”

Brummett leads an office at the forefront of coordinating resources to address the state’s stubbornly high suicide rate, and during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — she works to communicate the office’s efforts.

The statistics compiled by her office are disquieting: 1,175 Coloradans died by suicide in 2017, the highest number ever, and about twice as many as died in car wrecks.

Colorado’s suicide rate was at 20.9 per 100,000 in 2017, compared to a national rate of 13.4 per 100,000.

Digging down further reveals other disturbing trends: Suicide is the leading cause of death among youths and young adults ages 10 to 24, and the seventh-leading cause of

REACHING OUT If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a mental health crisis, there are resources available.

There are many ways to parse the statistics: Men are far more likely to die by suicide than women. Nearly 90 percent of suicide victims are under the influence of one or more drugs at the time of death. Certain trades have higher rates of suicide, including construction workers and emergency first responders.

Resilience and recovery Looking at the death rates, however, paints a poor picture of those who experience suicidal ideation, Brummett said.

“For every one suicide, there are hundreds who have been there and moved past it,” Brummett said.

“There is recovery happening every day. The stories of hope and resilience aren’t those getting told, but those are the ones we need to hear.”

Creating more of those stories is the goal of the Zero Suicide Model, a program that seeks to spread suicide prevention and intervention training throughout a person’s support network, said Linda Newell, a former

ALARMING NUMBERS According to the 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado survey, 7 percent of Colorado high schoolers reported attempting suicide in the prior year. Among heterosexual students, the rate was 5.1 percent, but among gay, lesbian and bisexual students, the rate was 19.9 percent. The 2015 survey found that a third of transgender students reported attempting suicide in the prior year.

Youths who have an adult to go to for help are 3.5 times less likely to attempt suicide, according to the state Office of Suicide Prevention.

Colorado’s overall suicide rate is 20.9 per 100,000 people, but the rate among state senator who authored legislation that implemented the program.

“We were finding that there were missed opportunities for intervention,” said Littleton resident Newell. “A quarter of the people who complete suicide end up in front of their primary care doctor within a month before they do it, but there was no talk about suicide. The myth that talking about it will encourage someone to do it doesn’t hold true — just the opposite.”

The program holds Zero Suicide Academies, building the skills of doctors, first responders, counselors, therapists and faith leaders to learn how to broach the subject with people, and how to respond and steer them to resources.

veterans was 38.7 per 100,000 in 2015, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

More than a quarter of people who died by suicide between 2012-2016 were engaged in some form of mental health treatment at the time of their death, according to data from the Colorado Violent Death Reporting System.

The same report also found that a third of suicide victims were experiencing problems with an intimate partner prior to death, 28 percent were experiencing problems with alcohol, and 14.3 percent had financial problems. nearly 80 percent of gun deaths in the state are suicides.

“Owning a firearm doesn’t make you suicidal,” Brummett said. “But if you have access to a gun in a time of crisis, you’re more likely to die.

You won’t get a second chance to move into that period of recovery.”

Finding answers to why Why does Colorado have such a high rate of suicide, and why, in the face of a slew of comprehensive efforts aimed at addressing suicide, don’t the numbers come down?

The answers are complex, Brummett said.

“We have a fierce, independent spirit in the West,” Brummett said.

“It’s fantastic Men and guns for blazing trails Other programs and pushing the developed or overseen limits, but it by the Office of Suicide can be troublePrevention work to tarsome when we get specific aspects of need help.

The Douglas County Sheriff ’s Office has released the identity of a suspect shot and killed by deputies near Sedalia last month, along with body camera and dash-camera footage of the incident that shows frantic officers opening fire on a man they believed had shot at another deputy.

The sheriff ’s office announced Aug. 31 on Twitter that officers had shot and killed an armed suspect, now confirmed as Paul Askins, 61, of Colorado Springs, but declined to release his identity prior to Sept. 17, citing the open investigation.

Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock said a routine stop for a traffic violation escalated into the shooting when officers attempted to question Askins, who they now know was wanted for two felony warrants and had a criminal history in Colorado and Texas.

“I just wanted to have the opportunity to share with you a little bit of information about what took place on Aug. 31,” Spurlock said at a Sept.

17 news conference.

The shooting began when the driver of a pickup truck was pulled over for making an unsafe turn in front of two deputies on US Highway 85 near Delva Road at approximately 4:41 p.m. that day.

Officers spoke to the truck’s occupants for roughly 20 minutes and after checking identifications, learned the driver had a restraining order against her for a man matching Askins’ description. Askins was a passenger in the vehicle’s backseat.

While officers tried to determine if Askins was in fact the protected person in that retraining order, he gave them multiple names, raising their suspicion, Spurlock said.

They had asked Askins to get out of the vehicle so they could further question him when he opened the truck’s door with a handgun pointed at them.

In total, three officers were involved in the shooting — two deputies who made the initial traffic stop while working from the same vehicle and a third undercover officer

who was in the area at the time of the call and stopped to assist them.

Footage shows the undercover officer and one deputy were to the left and rear of the truck as a third deputy stood on the truck’s right, back passenger door where Askins was seated.

The deputy asked Askins to exit the truck moments before he opened the door with a gun raised.

The deputy sprung back, falling down into the ditch and appeared to shoot at Askins from the ground.

Within seconds, all three officers fired their weapons at Askins after he ignored the deputy’s command not to move and continued advancing toward the fallen deputy, gun raised.

“Shots fired,” an officer shouted as a deputy is seen from his body camera footage reloading his weapon and approaching Askins, who fell to the ground after officers opened fire.

Spurlock said the undercover officer and the deputy believed Askins had shot at the deputy standing by his door when they fired their weapons.

All three officers were placed on administrative leave and two have returned to duty. The third has not returned for reasons unrelated to the case, Spurlock said.

The sheriff confirmed in the Sept.

17 news conference Askins was wanted for felony charges and likely gave officer multiple names to avoid being identified. Spurlock said they are still determining if the gun he attempted to use against officers was legally purchased.

Court records show Askins was charged with a slew of felonies from El Paso County, including drug possession, felony menacing with a real or simulated weapon and sexual contact without consent, among others. The active warrants were for second-degree burglary and failure to appear in court, according to the sheriff ’s office.

Three people — two women and a man — were in the truck with Askins but none were injured or charged with crimes related to this or other incidents.

Some details in the case haven’t been released yet because the investigation is on-going, Spurlock said, including names of the officers involved.

The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office is investigating the shooting to determine if officers were justified in using lethal force.

Spurlock said his agency’s investigation is being aided by the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office.

Native American event aims to bridge gaps Kids tackle issues like racism, wealth disparity at youth summit

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY James Holmes, executive director of the Cherokee Ranch & Castle, said one reason the foundation held a summit hosting Native American youths from reservations, including the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, alongside youth from Douglas County was the contrast in wealth for each location.

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Elizabeth Osterhoudt, a Native American teenager from Castle Rock, said aside from her brother, she knows one other youth with Native American heritage.

That’s her friend Delia Abila, also a Castle Rock resident.

Both girls say they see little diversity in their school and community and face racism at the local level.

For Abila, 15, it’s happened when people made assumptions about her race or ethnicity, and then insulted it.

Osterhoudt, 16, has been told she gave someone “an angry Indian face,” has been asked to “speak Indian” and has been asked “how much” Native American she is.

These experiences can feel isolating, they said. So on Sept. 7 they went to the Cherokee Ranch & Castle in Sedalia for a chance to talk about those experiences, they said.

Native American youths, some from the Denver metro area, some from out-of-state, and Douglas County teens, about 35 in total, recently came together for a summit held at the Cherokee Ranch & Castle, where issues like racism, wealth disparity and education took center stage.

Lori Ventimiglia, a spokeswoman for The Tipi Raisers, a nonprofit working to support Native American people, said they hoped to build trust “across tribes, across native and nonnative lines.”

The 2018 Youth Summit was the culmination of several events Cherokee Ranch has hosted in partnership with The Tipi Raisers, all aimed at raising awareness for Native American issues and bringing people together. It’s meant to be the first of many, Ventimiglia said.

Cherokee Ranch’s Executive Director James Holmes said the organization started working on the project three years ago when he met The Tipi Raisers’ executive director and Lori’s husband, Dave Ventimiglia, through a mutual friend. The Tipi Raisers work largely with the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota.

Holmes said they wanted to recognize that despite Douglas County being one of the nation’s wealthiest communities, and Pine Ridge being one of the poorest, “the kids have issues in common.”

Racism, he said, wasn’t planned to be the summit’s focus but came to the forefront of conversation as teens from places like Castle Rock, Arvada and Pine Ridge discussed their daily lives.

Organizers planned several activities of the three-day summit asking kids to discuss issues they shared and issues they may be able to learn more about from one another. Non-native students attended as well.

Jo’ella Red Willow, 19, traveled from

Douglas County has the nation’s seventh highest median household income for counties with populations of 65,000 or more, at $109,292, the county reports, and less than 4 percent of residents live below the poverty level.

Less than 1 percent of the county’s residents are Native American or Alaska Native, according to the 2016 American Community Survey.

The survey also found the median income for Pine Ridge residents was $29,881. According to the 2012-2016 American Community Survey, nearly half of residents on the reservation in South Dakota live in poverty.

While some women showcased Native American dances, other event organizers raised tipis at the Johnson Dairy Farm near Sedalia on Sept. 8.

She shared her personal struggles with unemployment, how “there’s not much job opportunity at all” on the reservation.

Rhyia JoyHeart, 20, came from her home in Arvada and spoke of Native Americans’ struggling with substance abuse. Her mother was a cocaine addict. Her father was a meth addict.

True to native tradition, she said, she uses laughter and humor as medicine.

And Apollo Casias, 18, came from Gallup, New Mexico, saying he learned non-native individuals care more than he expected about native issues.

“I used to think it didn’t matter to them,” he said, “but it does.”

During a panel discussion led by Colorado State University’s Native American Cultural Center, it wasn’t long before someone — Castle Rock parent Kara Boyd — asked how the university planned to address the widely publicized incident from April, when a parent called police on two Native American boys touring the school.

NACC leaders said they increased cultural sensitivity training for tour ambassadors on campus and formed a task force to evaluate how similar situ-

ations can be avoided in the future.

Douglas County teens said the CSU incident is one example of racism Native Americans face at an institutional level and at the local level.

Boyd has a son attending CSU. She’s also organized clothing and food drives for Pine Ridge and echoed Abila and Osterhoudt, saying she’s heard racist comments directed toward Native Americans.

Despite discussing potentially divisive topics, Holmes said he was impressed with how youths handled subjects throughout the summit.

“They had mutual respect in the conversations,” he said. “They had dialogue, and not conflict. Built real bonds.”

Osterhoudt ended the summit by attending a powwow on its final day at the Johnson Dairy Farm, located along U.S. Highway 85 near Sedalia.

The experience, she said, helped her meet and form relationships with other native youths.

Holmes said he was pleasantly surprised to hear that feedback from local youths.

“It allows those kids who are in a minority group in their community to connect with people,” Holmes said.

“And instill a sense of pride in their culture.”

Elizabeth Osterhoudt, a 16-year-old senior at Castle View High School, said as a native youth she does face racism in Castle Rock. She attended a powwow on Sept. 8 to be near other native people, an opportunity that does not come often in her community, she said.

Equine infectious anemia confirmed in Colorado Sites in Douglas, Arapahoe, Adams counties among those on hold until horses test negative for disease STAFF REPORT

The Colorado Department of Agriculture received presumptive positive equine infectious anemia test results Aug. 24 from the Rocky Mountain Regional Animal Health Laboratory. An additional confirmatory test was completed Aug. 28.

According to a news release from the Colorado Livestock Association, the horse arrived at a Weld County site from another state July 18. The horse did not have a negative EIA test or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection before entering the state, the release said. The Colorado Department of Agriculture is working to confirm the traceback to the state of origin.

The Colorado State Veterinarian’s Office has determined, with the help of records from the Brands Division and Rocky Mountain Regional Animal Health Laboratory, that approximately 230-250 horses had been on the premises during the same time as the index positive animal.

Approximately 100 of these horses were sent to 20 other states across the

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

country and those state veterinarians are taking steps to locate, quarantine, and re-test those horses, the news release said.

CDA is working to find approximately 130-150 horses that went to different premises across Colorado. The department has limited contact information for many of the people that purchased

these horses. If you believe you may have purchased horses from the index premises, contact the department office at 303-869-9130.

As of Sept. 7, the equine infectious anemia incident in Colorado has resulted in: • A quarantine order for the index premises in Weld County; two associated premises are under hold orders.

• Hold orders for 15 premises in nine Colorado counties, including Adams, Arapahoe, Crowley, Delta, Douglas, El Paso, Mesa, Montrose and Weld • Thirty-seven exposed horses have

been found in Colorado.

The hold orders will remain in place until the exposed horses on the premises test negative at the 60-day retest. This re-test date is 60 days from the last known date of exposure to the positive horse.

The department is monitoring and working to ensure compliance with the quarantine of the index premises and the hold orders issued for premises with exposed horses, according to the news release. The department has the legal authority to pursue civil fines against those who violate quarantine, hold orders or animal health requirement rules. State laws and regulations limit what details the department can share regarding individual operations under investigation, quarantine, or hold orders.

Equine infectious anemia is a viral disease spread by large biting insects (such as horse flies and deer flies), inappropriate use of needles, or other equipment used between susceptible equine animals such as horses, mules and donkeys. Infected horses may not appear to have any clinical signs of the disease, although it can cause high fever, weakness, weight loss, an enlarged spleen, anemia, weak pulse and even death. There is no cure for the disease, so infected animals must be quarantined for life or euthanized.

The disease is not transmissible to people.

Equine infectious anemia is a disease for which horses must be tested annually before they can be transported across state lines. The test is commonly called a Coggins Test.

The Colorado Department of Human Services has recognized the Douglas County Department of Human Services for “C-Stat Distinguished Performance” in 2017.

This designation is awarded to Colorado counties that met C-Stat goals at least 75 percent of the time on 21 measures tied to a wide array of programs, including food assistance, adult financial applications, child support services, adult protection, child welfare, Colorado Works, and Low-Income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP), according to a news release from Douglas County.

“This is a very difficult award to achieve,” Jerene Petersen, deputy executive director of the Colorado Department of Human Services, said in her remarks preceding the award presentation to Douglas County Hu-

man Services Director Dan Makelky.

“Douglas County has demonstrated strong performance across important measures of economic security, safety, and well-being for people in their community.”

In total, the county was recognized for achieving the annual goal on 15 measures, including the percentage of both current child support collected and cases with an arrears payment, food assistance case and procedural error rate, the news release said.

C-Stat is a performance-management approach that allows the Colorado Department of Human Services to better focus on and improve performance outcomes that enhance people’s lives. By identifying areas of focus, the state department can determine what is working and what needs improvement, the news release said.

Program on youth mental health to cover multiple topics

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fifteen years ago, Amy Gensler couldn’t tell you if she saw any patients with mental-health issues.

Now, her practice sees so many that it integrated with four mental-health care providers who work side-by-side with the pediatricians.

“I just felt a lot of parents weren’t educated — I myself was not as educated on mental health issues,” said Gensler, a board certified pediatrician at Parker Pediatrics & Adolescents, 10371 Parkglenn Way. “I felt like there was not much education across the board. I felt like there was a need.”

Gensler’s experience led her to create Healing Our Youth: Get Educated.

The organization periodically hosts seminars at school districts across the metro area to decrease stigma, create conversation around mental illness, increase access to care and provide resources for help.

The next program, which includes a resource fair and presentation, will be from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 3 at Cresthill Middle School, 9195 Cresthill Lane, Highlands Ranch. There is no cost, but attendees are encouraged to register online at healingouryouth. org/calendar. Registration is open until the day of the event.

Representatives from local mental

health care networks, suicide awareness programs, eating disorder clinics, youth substance abuse treatment programs, counseling services, the National Alliance on Mental Illness and Douglas County Sheriff Office’s Crisis Intervention Team will be at the resource fair.

Guests will have an opportunity before and after the presentation to talk one-on-one with the representatives.

Panelists for the presentation are Gensler; the parent of a child with a mental-health disorder; a local young adult who has experienced a mentalhealth disorder; Jeff Galinkin, a board-certified pediatric anesthesiologist at Children’s Hospital Colorado; and Amanda Woodard, executive director and counselor at Original Path Counseling & Fitness in Centennial.

Speakers will touch on the specifics of mental-health disorders, youth substance abuse and how to identify unhealthy adolescent behavior.

Gensler’s goal is to educate adults so that young people dealing with mental-health issues can get the care they need.

“Our main teaching point is that these kids are not making choices to not feel well or to have depression or anxiety,” Gensler said. “It’s a brain disorder. It’s an actual disorder of the brain and we need to understand that.”

Day-by-day for 20 years adds up to just one day

nless they have taken it all down, there are still some reminders at my alma mater that I passed through there 20 years ago. I donated three or four paintings, maybe more. I can’t remember.

I was enrolled on Wednesday, Sept. 30, 1998, and given a number. I was Patient 4050.

Some of my classmates were well educated and well off. Others were down on their luck, in poor health, financially strapped, and facing marital separations. A few of my classmates were returning to school for the third or fourth or fifth time.

A number of my classmates didn’t graduate, and a couple of

them have died.

The campus back then was beautiful. I haven’t been out there in a while, but I’m sure it still is.

I had some exceptional teachers. I don’t think you can be a good teacher unless you know firsthand what you are talking about, and mine had been through what I was going

through.

I had been hearing it for years: what I should and shouldn’t do, but I wasn’t listening, until my best friend gave me two choices.

He and I were sitting on a bench outside St. Luke’s, where I had detoxed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Invest in schools Dr. John Reeb’s recent letter to the editor arguing that teacher annual household income is $106,160 and is more than adequate is based on the presumption that teachers live in dualincome households. The Pew Research Center shows that only 60 percent of households are dual income. Based on this percentage and his own numbers, it would be safer to assume the average teacher family brings in an annual income of $84,928. However, such generalization are broad and should not be be a basis for voting.

Joy Overbeck’s recent letter to the editor states that teachers only work 72.4 percent of the hours of a typical full-time employee. This is true for contracted time. However, as reported by nea.org, teachers spend an average of 12 hours each week on noncontracted school-related activities.

Once you factor in the non-contracted school-related activities, such as grading homework and after-school activities, teachers work on par with the rest of us.

If teacher pay is a factor in how you will vote this fall, the local Denver CBS website has a great interactive map showing how school districts close to us pay teachers. Currently Littleton, CCSD, Aurora and Jeffco pays more and Lewis Palmer pays less. The market for our immediate driveable area should dictate teacher pay just as our pay is dictated by the market rate.

There are, of course, other reasons for voting for the bond. Replacing HVAC units, upgrading security to new federal standards, upgrading information technology components, and transportation needs are all areas of concern for our school district. We haven’t had a bond in over a decade.

Our taxes have been dropping as old bonds are paid off and it’s time to invest a little in our local institutions.

Nathan Albers Castle Rock Vote yes for school funding Rita Young’s letter in the recent paper advising us to vote no on the November school ballot issue, while creative, is both contrived and nonsensical.

She entirely misses the point of the initiative, which is to provide funding to keep DCSD teachers’ and staff salaries competitive with nearby districts so we don’t lose the great ones, and to address maintenance and upgrading issues in the school buildings, equipment, buses, and so on. There is much legitimate data showing the need for this funding. The initiative would require about $17 additional tax monthly per household, a small “insurance policy” to ensure our schools continue to provide excellent facilities and teachers. And for those who don’t have children in DCSD, remember that excellent schools are a draw to a community, helping to create demand for housing, which results in stable and even increasing property values.

No, it’s not just about property values, but rather excellent educations for our students. However our school district’s reputation is a reason why property values in DC are among the highest in Denver Metro, Don’t allow

that reputation to diminish.

Vote yes on the school ballot initiative in November.

Mike Fullerton Highlands Ranch Vote yes to get the best As a parent, I was appalled to read the letter published in this paper recently under the headline “No need for tax hike.” My kids’ teachers are not part-time workers, they’re hard working, highly educated professionals! I know they put in far more than eight hours a day, but that’s beside the point.

A quick Google search revealed that the average accountant in the Denver metro area makes a base pay of $61,394, and the average nurse pulls in a base pay of $74,027. These are professions with similar education requirements.

The professionals I trust to spend seven hours a day with my kids deserve to be compensated for their expertise. Even those who believe schools should be run like businesses (I am not one of them) can’t expect a “business” to be successful if they can’t pay the going rate. When I choose a doctor’s office for my kids, I don’t look for the one that pays its employees the least.

If DCSD’s direct competitors can pay thousands more in salary, how can we expect to attract and retain the best? I am a yes on 5A and 5B. My kids deserve it. The 68,000 kids in Douglas county deserve it. Our community deserves it.

Amy McDowell Highlands Ranch Support our children While attending the Douglas County School Board meeting on Aug. 21, I was able to make a public comment and address the board. I read several comments from the Bright Futures for Douglas County Kids petition that was signed by over 1,550 Douglas County residents. Here are a few of those comments: “We need to invest in our children and communities. Our schools have suffered too long.”

“Please, please help us provide the strongest education possible for our children. We need to close the pay gap for our amazing teachers just as much as we need to maintain our aging buildings. Give voters the option!”

“Douglas County needs to pass a bond/mill levy in order for our property values to remain high regardless if one has children in the system. Our school district reflects our neighborhoods.”

“Students are 25 percent of our population and are 100 percent of the future. I believe strongly that it takes us all to support our future in a positive and productive way!”

“This is long overdue. Good schools make good communities.”

“The needs are dire. Investing in the future is the smartest investment you can make. ‘This is the meaning of community.’ “ “There needs to be more opportunity for students seeking to develop skills in the trades. It is a legitimate and lucrative career path for many.”

“Please support our children. Fund our schools.”

Our community is speaking for our kids. Please listen. For more information, go to www.yes5ab.com Patti Hickey Lone Tree Alternatives to tax hikes I have a daughter in Castle View High and a home in Castle Rock. In general I support public education as an important way of binding the citizenry together. During my time in Castle Rock, the taxes on my home have gone up with each reassessment.

Doesn’t most of this increase in property tax end up in the school board’s hands already?

Other thoughts: I am in business and when I pay more I expect to get more. If we are paying for more then why don’t we go to a year-round school year? I work 52 weeks per year. Also, I can’t stand the whole school bus expense and risk. The school district has an large amount of capital tied up there and most of the time is just sits. Why

doesn’t the school district hire Uber and get rid of school buses entirely?

Also why does the school district own its schools. In my business the decision on how to use the real estate is a separate issue from the ownership issue. Have you ever thought of having new schools built by developers and owned by the private sector and leased to the school district? I think that you might be surprised how many landlords would like the school district as a tenant. Then the capital improvements do not fall on the taxpayers.

Finally, its time to disband the State Land Board, sell the land and distribute the money to the school districts.

School Board Land is NOT being used in any significant way to support the schools. It’s time to think outside the box. Simply asking for more doesn’t do it for me.

A low-cost path to help I agree with the recent article on alcoholism and drug use as an epidemic but wish to point out that there is an answer that does not cost big bucks.

Alcoholics Anonymous has been that answer for hundreds of thousands of people since it started in 1935. AA is a spiritual program. A suffering individual attends a meeting and makes a donation to the group according to his or her means. Sounds simple. It is simple but it is not easy.

Like any recovery program or treatment center, the main ingredient to sobriety is the WILLINGNESS of the affected individual to want to quit and to seek help. What if they don’t? Then the family members are encouraged to look at Al-Anon, which uses the same 12 Steps and spiritual resources to help the families cope better. Whe one person changes, the other person needs to change.

Longtimers in AA recommend 90 meeting in 90 days. They also know that sobriety, emotional, physical and mental recovery can take a lifetimeone day at a time. And nothing can help those who really do not want to change. They turn into those statistics we read about.

Resources are as close as your phone or computer. AA. Al-Anon. The Orchard Club in Greenwood Village all have lists and times of meetings. Free for a small donation. You decide.

September 20, 2018S Yes to roads, no to new taxes This November, you have a choice.

The best choice is Proposition 109, Fix Our Damn Roads. When voting “yes” on Fix Our Damn Roads, you are directing the state Legislature to dedicate a small portion of the state budget to fix our roads and bridges.

Many people ask me if Colorado has the money. The answer is absolutely!

The Denver Post reports that the Colorado Legislative Council forecast expects this year’s general fund to grow 11.3 percent, or $982.7 million, vs. a year ago. Next year it will grow another 8.2 percent, or $1.29 billion over this year’s budget. Colorado does not have a revenue challenge, it has a spending problem.

The competing Proposition 110, Let’s Go Colorado, calls for a massive state sales tax increase. While proponents opine that this tax is only cents on the dollar, in reality it is a 21 percent state sales tax increase on everyday items such as toilet paper and disposable diapers and things we enjoy, such as a craft brew with our friends after work.

We’re tired of giving the Let’s Go Colorado politicians, bureaucrats and interested parties our tax money for veiled promises of where the money will be spent. It is time to responsibly fix our roads and bridges. We can do this without a huge tax increase.

That’s why I’m voting yes on Proposition 109 and no on Proposition 110.

sue is a particularly alarming parody.

Young’s position is simple. Since this tax won’t be a direct benefit to her and her children, she’s against it. And if you are without children or a soon to be an empty nester, you too should deny valuable education funds to future citizens of Douglas County.

I don’t ever drive on Meadows Boulevard. When it comes to any needed repairs, can I request that my tax funds stay on the east side of the interstate? I’ve yet to ascend the incline at the Miller Activity Complex, I’d like to see the parks budget cut to help my pocketbook if you don’t mind.

Of course, this reasoning is shortsighted and empty of the values I believe this community stands for.

Whether your kids are in school right now or not, the quality of our education system in this county benefits you — directly and indirectly.

Better schools increase real estate desirability which increases property values. More educated children make better citizens, which improves the quality of life of all residents.

Please vote yes on the school ballot initiative in November whether or not you have children in school. It’s the right thing to do for our community.

It’s the right thing to do for the future generations of Douglas County.

Brent Weaver Castle Rock It’s not bigotry, it’s equality I was disappointed to see you publish a letter that falsely claims that enforcing Colorado’s public accommodation laws is anti-Christian bigotry. Christian leaders, probably because it helps

fundraising, have been claiming that Christians in the United States are subject to bigotry and persecution. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Christians can attend any church they want whenever they want, read any version of the Bible they choose, use any G hymnal they want, and as individuals $ pray when and how they want. Chrisq tians are free to preach and teach their c beliefs even to the point of knocking on o people’s door to try make converts. That e is true freedom of religion. a However, while one is free to believe e as they wish they do not get to use p freedom of religion as a weapon to b discriminate against others. If you run a business and offer goods and/ b c or services to the public then you must serve all members of the public c — equally. One’s religious beliefs are irrelevant if you choose to serve the a a public. The Supreme Court clearly and unambiguously affirmed this in m their first Masterpiece Cake Shop de- p cision. While in this case only a cake p $ is at issue, this becomes dangerous when health care providers refuse to y provide treatment or medicine claimS ing that to do so would violate their h religious beliefs.

Jack Philips was told by the Supreme Court, in no uncertain terms, that he cannot discriminate based on his religious beliefs. That he is now being sanctioned for again violating Colorado law is not anti-Christian bigotry or persecution — it is preserving our fundamental American value that everyone should be treated equally f regardless of race, national origin, t creed or sexual orientation. w Robert Whiten Highlands Ranch a e S a t o W the quote must have been published, h stated during a public meeting or t found on video. i • Only submit ideas and opinions a that are your own — and in your own words.

Check the IRS limits for Adjusted Gross Incomes that range from $189,000 to $199,000. Those with two qualified employer plans with incomes under $101,000 can both write off the full contribution. This may be enough to reduce other factors, such as eligibility for child care tax credits.

Self-employed individuals may be eligible for an SEP (Simplified Employee Pension). These limits can be substantially higher than an IRA based on business or consulting income. Most plans allow for deductible contributions similar to 401(k) limits — which for 2018 are $18,500 with an age 50-and-older catch-up provision of another $6,000. Higher income earners may also be eligible for a solo 401k or profit-sharing contribution up to 25 percent of your business profit up to $55,000 plus catch-up, depending on your business structure.

friends, or customers anywhere on the planet used to be something that we would see in science fiction and now it is an everyday occurrence.

It’s such a small world isn’t it? It’s a small world yet a giant world with enormous opportunities everywhere.

Somehow, some of us have developed a fear of that great big world out there. We have developed a fear of other people and other countries.

We have become suspicious and have started looking and waiting for the bad things to happen. The fact is, most of what we fear and worry about has little merit.

The world is filled with much more opportunity, adventure, and amazing experiences than anything worth worrying about or holding us back from enjoying this great big world, and from finding opportunities to go places and experience things we once only dreamed of.

be eligible if you had a high-deductible health insurance plan starting no later than Dec. 1. An individual can contribute a tax-deductible amount of $3,450 with a $1,000 catch-up provision for anyone over age 55 by December 31st.

Households with one spouse on family coverage can contribute $6,850 plus the catch-up for those over age 55.

The penalty for not having health insurance does not expire until 2019.

Therefore, those who forgo health insurance for 2018 could still face a penalty.

You can apply during open enrollment next month to avoid this penalty.

Consider funding college savings plans, which are eligible for the state income tax deduction for children or grandchildren through www.collegeinvest.org. This will save you the 4.63 percent Colorado income tax on your contribution.

If you pay quarterly estimated tax payments, be aware of the new SALT (state and local tax) deduction limit. It used to be that if you paid your fourthquarter state taxes before year-end, then you would be able to deduct it on your Schedule A the following April.

This is now limited to just $10,000 for the entire SALT category, including state income taxes and property taxes.

OK. So maybe just one more plug for doing something bigger and better for the world, whether it is locally or globally. When you think about this small world with huge opportunities, listen to the song by Jana Stanfield, “All the Good.” In her song she sings, “I can’t do all the good that the world needs, but the world needs all the good I can do.” Huge opportunities in a small world, in a small country, in a small state, in a small town, and all getting smaller by the day.

How about you? Have you had some small world experiences yourself ?

Are you experiencing the opportunities the world has to offer? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can experience and enjoy the small world and the enormous opportunities waiting for us, it really will be a better than good week.

To help reduce unwanted taxable investment income, consider meeting with your financial adviser for tax loss harvesting and to structure your investments to be tax-efficient.

The long-term capital gain and the qualified dividend tax was indexed up slightly but in essence remained the same as 2017. Therefore, if you would have been in a 15 percent tax bracket in 2018 (even though there is not a 15 percent bracket this year) then your long-term capital gains and qualified dividend tax is capped at zero, or 15 percent for higher brackets.

It is important to monitor your tax withholding on your paychecks this year. New withholding tables for employers appear to be shy of the actual tax liability. If you noticed a larger take-home pay starting in February, check with your tax accountant to confirm if you need to increase your withholding for the remainder of the year.

One last major change: The Child Care Credit actually improved for people in higher tax brackets. Parents can now take a credit up to $2,000 if their joint income is under $400,000 or a single parent with income under $200,000.

Mazes, pumpkins and cider make the season pleasin’

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

he only obvious indication that fall is around the corner is Starbucks bringing back its popular pumpkin latte.

The heat has still been scorching throughout much of the state, and the cool, crisp fall air has yet to make an appearance.

But regardless of the weather, fall is coming, and all across the metro area there is a wealth of fall festivals and events that can appeal to young people and families. Here are some: Corn Maze at Chatfield Farms at the Denver Botanic Gardens Where: 8500 W. Deer Creek Canyon Road, Littleton (west of Wadsworth Boulevard, south of C-470) When: Sept. 21 to Oct. 28. Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sundays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Cost: $14 adults, $12 adult members, $13 students, seniors (65 and up) and military members, $11 children (3-12 years old), $9 child members, and free for children ages 2 and younger.

Contact: www.botanicgardens.org/ events/special-events/corn-maze What better way to spend a fall day or evening than at the corn maze at Chatfield Farms at the Denver Botanic Gardens? The large corn maze covers seven acres, and this year it comes with a new

design. DBG spokeswoman Erin Bird says this year’s design was created to thank first responders, and first responders get free admission, while their family members and friends can get in at a membership cost. There’s more to Chatfield Farms besides the corn maze, like human hamster balls and an obstacle course, pony, barrel train and hayrides, films, food and a mini corn maze for the kiddos.

“The corn maze at Chatfield Farms is a longstanding fall tradition.

There’s always a new design to get lost in,” Bird said.

Glow at the Gardens at the Denver Botanic Gardens Where: 1007 York St., Denver When: Oct. 17, 18, 23, 24 and 25. 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Cost: $18 adults, $16 adult members, $14 children (3-15 years old), $10 child members and free for children ages 2 and younger.

Contact: botanicgardens.org/ events/special-events/glow-gardens Pumpkins from local farmers light up the Denver Botanic Gardens during Glow at the Gardens.

The pumpkins are all real and carved by artists who create aesthetic carvings and larger-than-life sculptures. Glow at the Gardens will feature with hundreds of carved, lit-up pumpkins along with magic tricks, trick-or-treating, games, crafts, a scavenger hunt, a Halloween trivia wheel, storytelling, LED performances and food and beverages.

“It’s fun for the whole family. Peo-

Maize in the City Where: 10451 McKay Road, Thornton When: Sept. 28 to Oct. 31. Thursdays, noon to 7 p.m., Fridays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. (Note: the maze will be open Oct. 8 from noon to 5 p.m. It will also be open on Oct. 24, Oct. 29, and Oct. 30 from noon to 7 p.m. and Oct. 31 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Cost: Cost of general admission was not immediately available, but the mini maze is $5 for children, and family members of the children get free admission to it with the child ticket.

Contact: maizeinthecity.com Maize in the City features a 20-acreplus corn maze, along with a customizable smart phone trivia game.

Maize in the City wants its guests to “get lost in your own backyard.”

Along with the maze, there is a corn launcher, a mini maze for children, a barrel ride, animals, a playground and a pumpkin field filled with hundreds of pumpkins.

“Maize in the City is run and operated by a family. We just want to create a space for your family to come out and enjoy the fall season,” Cristina Palombo said. Palombo is the communication director for Maize in the City.

or as long as I can remember, Denver and the surrounding suburbs have been an occasional festival home.

Which meant if a young music fan on a budget like myself wanted the festival experience, they were out of luck.

For three years, the city hosted the Mile High Music Festival in Commerce City, but due to attendance struggles and a challenging economic climate, it didn’t last. Vans’ Warped Tour almost always made a stop here and Riot Fest visited for a few years, but that was about it.

Huge festivals with exotic, overpriced sounding names like Coachella, Lollapalooza and Sasquatch became like sites in the Holy Land — you work and save your whole life just for one pilgrimage.

Once Denver became the site for a huge influx of COMING young people, it ATTRACTIONS seemed like only a matter of time before the city took another crack at the whole festival thing.

“We’ve always enjoyed spending time in Denver, just as fans of the city and as one of Clarke Reader the top-tier music markets in the country. We saw a real opportunity to create something special here,” explained Jonathan Mayers, cofounder of Superfly. Superfly hosts Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Outside Lands in California. “We’ve really been inspired by this community.”

Out of that inspiration, Grandoozy was born. And I finally had my first music festival experience.

• • • • • Spread out over Overland Park’s 139 acres, Grandoozy was home to three stages and more than 60 musical acts from Sept. 14 through 16. In addition to the musical performances, the festival included everything from food trucks and interactive art installations to a giant recreation of South Park to an 80’s ski lodge.

As a music festival first timer, the best thing that hits me about the festival is that it really cuts down on the agonizingly slow wait for a musician to take the stage. On Friday afternoon, I’m able to enjoy Ty Dolla $ign’s blend of sweat-drenched R&B and hip-hop at the Rock Stage, then rush over to the Paper Stage to catch Big K.R.I.T.’s southern rap dispatches.

History provides inspiration for two plays in metro area Denver, Aurora stages give audiences a look at productions based on reality

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Playwrights have drawn plots from history since this grand tradition of storytelling began. We visited two over the weekend that are very different, yet both very much worth a visit during the month or so they’re available — with powerful stories and strong acting: “The Cake” at Curious Theatre in Denver and “Kentucky Cycle” at Vintage Theatre in Aurora.

• “Kentucky Cycle Parts 1 & 2” by c Robert Schenkkan, won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1992, when it premiered at Seattle’s Inman Theatre — the only Pulitzer that was not first presented in New York. Linda Suttle of Littleton was excited to be cast in this epic work and plays several parts as the nine short plays, presented in two parts, tell histories of three families, white, black and American Indian, and the ongoing struggles over land in the Cumberland Plateau as the nation formed and changed.

Vintage Theatre Company is to be commended for taking on this huge project, which totals about six hours k of onstage action, a large cast and an incredible amount of planning and rehearsal time. Director Craig Bond has really made the pieces tie together over the 200 years that run from Revolutionary times until the War on Poverty. A timeline in American history might be worth checking if it’s been a while for the theater fan—but that’s not essential.

Stage sets throughout are necessarily simple and suggest where the story is going.

We first meet Michael Rowan (Perry Lewis) in “Masters of the Trade,” as he establishes claim to a piece of land, which had been Indian territory, in a forest scene with trappers, Cherokee y people and mountain man types. He next captures an American Indian woman (Christin Mason) to be his wife — and servant — in “The Courtship of Morning Star” (1776). By 1792, the Rowan homestead is established, a son, Patrick Rowan (Sam Gilstrap) is born and grows up, and neighbor Joe Talbert (David Harms), his daughter Rebecca Talbert (Mariel Goffredi) and a black slave, Sallie Biggs (OD Duhu) enter the scene and stay, representing other points of view in “The Homecoming” (1792) and “Ties That Bind.”

Part 1 ends with a cast of 20, as the Civil War is happening, in “God’s Great Supper” (1861), with Linda , Suttle as Jolene Rowan.

Here one has two options: You can see this on two different days, or plan on afternoon and evening, with time out for dinner in between. (Vintage offers dinner on site ($15), by advance reservation — or one could go out nearby and return for Part 2.

Part 2 begins with “Tall Tales” in

The play continues with “Kentucky Cycle” dialogue between plays through Oct. 21 at Vintage these women and between Macy and Theatre, 1468 Jen — and then Dayton St., Aurora, vintagturns for a while to etheatre.com, Della’s life with her 303-856-7830. husband, Tim, and some very brave “The Cake” plays and funny scenes through Oct. 13 at between the pair.

Curious Theatre, Tim is played by 1080 Acoma St., Michael Morgan, Denver, curialso a very strong oustheatre.org, actor, and interac303-623-0524. tion is delicately presented and sweet.

Playwright Bekkah Brunstetter, who grew up in a conservative North Carolina family, spoke about her own responses: “I hear the other point of view echoing in my head … I see myself getting split, ripped in half.

On both sides, they’re forgetting the human being that’s at the center of this.” She continued: “A lot of plays are more on the scathing side when it comes to organized religion. It was really important to me to start with a character who has conservative values and make her the hero,” she told the Los Angeles Times.

And, Emma Messenger play the part to a T. It’s a don’t-miss performance.

IF YOU GO

“Kentucky Cycle” at Vintage Theatre includes cast members David Harms, Jeff Jesmer and Linda Suttle (Littleton).

PHOTO BY RDG 1890, where subsequent-generation Rowans, Jed and Lallie, appear, and there is an offer for the ancestral land … Another chapter in American history begins here when the lush green land is stripped bit by bit as coal mines are developed. Local men go to work in the mines and another sort of cultural legend builds. Joshua Rowan is a labor organizer and “Fire in the Hole” addresses political and social currents, as well as explosion when safety issues aren’t addressed.

The anguished wait for the list of dead strains everyone involved as we move on to 1954, “Whose Side are You On?”— more political disagreements and Suttle as Margaret Rowan. The mines have slowed down and finally, in the last segment, “The War on Poverty,” the once-fertile land is laid waste and social programs aid unemployed miners’ families as they exist in poverty in 1975 — and on.

No upbeat songs and tap-dancing here, but a solid work of art that will become part of our national body of legends. See it while you can.

•Í “The Cake” by Bekkah Brunsteter, presented by Curious Theatre in Denver, is based on the very-familiarto-Coloradans story of the baker who refused to create a wedding cake for a gay couple, based on religious conviction. David Mullins and Charlie Craig sued the Masterpiece Cake Shop in Lakewood, claiming that Colorado law prohibited businesses from refusing service based on a buyer’s sexual orientation. In 2013, Judge Robert Spencer determined that Masterpiece had violated Colorado law and Masterpiece appealed. The Colorado Civil Rights Commission became involved in 2014 and the case ended up in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Masterpiece in June,

saying the Civil Rights Commission used bias in its decision.

“The Cake” opens in Della’s Sweet Shop in today’s North Carolina, with Della (the excellent actress Emma Messenger, making her debut at Curious) talking happily about the wonderful qualities of a cake — the butter and sugar and loving care — as she works on one. “People say `I can do that!’” she notes. “I say to those people `the only way you get that taste is the taste of time and obedience …’” She is set on always following the instructions exactly — in the bakery and in life, where the Bible and her church guide her. The simple set includes a pair of pastry cases, tables and chairs, and the stage is lit by a colorful sign. One can almost smell something good in the oven after meeting Della.

Della dreams about being on television — on the “Great American Bakery Show” — and has entered.

A screen talks to her as she works — sometimes thundering criticism (the voice of God?). Della is a sweet character and one can’t help but like her.

Macy (Jada Susan Dixon) enters and observes that she’s heard those shows are rigged — showing her edgy New York persona, adding a crack about basing one’s life on a book that’s hundreds of years old.

“I feel there’s a whole lot of goodness in the world,” sweet Della says in response — totally sincere — offering Macy a slice of her special cake. “I don’t eat cake” is the reply …

Enter Jen (Alaina Beth Reel), the daughter of Della’s best friend, who has come to talk about a cake for her upcoming wedding. But when Della learns that Jen and Macy are to be married, she suddenly finds that her

‘American Idiot’ is gripping stage production set to music Town Hall Arts Center hosts show based on 2004 album by Green Day

The stage at Town Hall is dark when the music starts, then nicely highlighted shadowy figures start to dance

to the title song, beginning the sungthrough rock opera based on punk rock band Green Day’s concept album, “American Idiot.”

Issued in 2004, “American Idiot” was first presented as a stage piece at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in 2009 and moved to Broadway’s St. James Theatre in spring 2010, where it ran a substantial 422 performances.

E-cigarette makers face warning from FDA chief ‘Epidemic of addiction’ among young people gets makers put on notice

BY MATTHEW PERRONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

U.S. health officials are sounding the alarm about rising teenage use of e-cigarettes, calling the problem an “epidemic” and ordering manufacturers to reverse the trend or risk having their flavored vaping products pulled from the market.

The warning from the Food and Drug Administration on Sept. 12 cited recent data that points to a sharp increase in underage use of the handheld nicotine products, including Juul and others.

It marks a shift in the agency’s tone on e-cigarettes. Since last year, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb and other federal officials have discussed e-cigarettes as a potential tool to wean adult smokers off cigarettes, although

THEATER FROM PAGE 18

At times during the run, Green Day’s vocalist/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong appeared as St. Jimmy.

Armstrong and director Michael Mayer wrote the book, music was composed by the Green Day band and lyrics are by Armstrong.

Nick Sugar is director/choreographer, who makes it all work together in an entertaining 21st-century opera about three disaffected young men, “in the recent past,” frustrated with life in the suburbs, as their surrounding society is in turmoil with war, politics, drugs … (Could be today.)

The show runs 90 minutes, no intermission, with all words sung and a live band up front, led by music direcAtor Donna Debrecini.

Johnny, played by a strong Brian Robertson from Greeley, debuting at Town Hall, asks friends Tunny (Ben Fowler), also new to Town Hall, and Will (Caleb Reed), another new face, to join him in escaping to “the city.”

Will’s girlfriend, Heather (Lynzee Lee Jones) has just told him she’s pregnant, so he feels he must stay with her, but he just lives in a beer-filled depressed haze, with no interest in the baby.

Tunny goes with Johnny, but oppressed by the city, soon opts to join the Army and ships off to war. Scenes are given related dates: Feb. 6, Johnny stole money from mom’s purse for bus fare. Feb. 24, we hear a disillusioned Johnny, with guitar, sing “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”

Soon, there’s a military scene when Tunny leaves for the Army. (“Are We the Waiting?”)

“Is this my life?” the directionless Johnny wonders.

Enter a riveting Matt La Fontaine as

that benefit hasn’t been proven.

But Gottlieb said in an address at FDA headquarters that he failed to predict the current “epidemic of addiction” among youth, mainly driven by flavored products.

“The disturbing and accelerating trajectory of use we’re seeing in youth and the resulting path to addiction must end,” Gottlieb told agency staffers and reporters. “It’s simply not tolerable.”

E-cigarettes are vapor-emitting devices that have grown into a multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S. despite little research on their long-term effects, including whether they are helpful in helping smokers quit. They’re generally considered a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes. But health officials have warned that nicotine in e-cigarettes is harmful to developing brains.

The e-cigarettes typically contain nicotine, and sometimes flavorings like fruit, mint or chocolate.

Health advocates have worried about the popularity of vaping products among kids and the potential impact on smoking rates in the future. A

St. Jimmy, brandishing a hypodermic — bringing heroin into Johnny’s life … St. Jimmy is perched high above the action for much of the remaining performance — sending out vibes.

With fairly minimal set, director Sugar makes it all work by how and where his actors perform — strong voices, tight choreography.

Johnny has noticed a girl watching from an upper window and thinks he’d like to know her … He does indeed connect with Whatsername (Faith Angelise Goins-Simmons) and St. Jimmy leads them both to drugs, but she departs the scene ...

A wounded Tunny has met The Extraordinary Girl — in an ordinary world (Sarah Harmon), his nurse, who continues to brighten his life …

government-commissioned report in January found “substantial evidence” that young people who use e-cigarettes are more likely to try cigarettes.

Gottlieb cited unreleased federal data and research that he says will be made public in coming months.

“We didn’t foresee the extent of what’s now become one of our biggest challenges,” he said, in prepared remarks. “Hindsight, and the data that’s now available to us, fully reveal these trends.”

In June, a government survey found teen vaping seemed to be holding steady last year. Some experts were cautious about the results, however.

They noted the survey did not ask specifically about Juul, a sleek, heavily marketed e-cigarette brand that exploded onto the market and accounts for 70 percent of U.S. sales, according to analyst estimates.

“I think it became clear to FDA that if they didn’t get their arms around this issue the use of these products by kids across the nation would undo decades of progress,” said Matthew Myers of the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids. His group and several other medical and anti-smoking groups are suing the FDA over a decision to delay federal review of most e-cigarettes.

Under regulations developed by the Obama administration, manufacturers were supposed to submit most products for review by August 2018.

But last year Gottlieb said he would

delay the deadline until 2022. He said both the agency and industry needed more time to prepare.

The decision was criticized by antismoking advocates who say e-cigarette makers are targeting kids with candy and fruit flavors and aggressive marketing.

Under the Sept. 12 announcement, the five largest e-cigarette manufacturers will have 60 days to produce plans to reverse underage use of their products. The companies sell Vuse, Blu, Juul, MarkTen XL and Logic e-cigarette brands, which account for 97 percent of U.S. e-cigarette sales, according to FDA. San Francisco-based Juul said it is working to prevent underage use of its products but added that flavors can help adult smokers quit cigarettes.

“By working together, we believe we can help adult smokers while preventing access to minors,” the company said in a statement.

The FDA also announced 1,300 warning letters and fines to online and traditional stores that have illegally sold Juul and other e-cigarettes to minors.

Gottlieb criticized e-cigarette companies’ handling of underage use of their products, saying they approached it as “a public relations challenge rather than seriously considering their legal obligations.”

“I’m here to tell them today that this prior approach is over,” he said.

For a first-time festival, Grandoozy is expertly run. That’s not to say there are no frustrations or things that could be streamlined, but Superfly’s years of experience clearly paid off.

There is plenty of space in the park so that attendees don’t feel totally hemmed in, use of public transport options cuts down on car traffic, and the official Grandoozy app puts the entire festival at my fingertips.

“There are always going to be unforeseen challenges when you’re doing something in a new place, for the first time,” Mayers explained. “To get ahead of any of those challenges, we make sure our team is spending as much time on the ground to build relationships with key players in the market and better understand the region and find out what makes it tick.”

The festival feels very Colorado, and that might be the highest compliment I can pay Grandoozy.

As to if it will return next year, that remains to be seen.

“The success of the festival is based on its ability to reflect the local culture while showing people a great time in a truly unique and exciting space,” Mayers said. “Creating that experience is primary focus at the moment to set Grandoozy up for success in the future.”

There will be dozens of hard cider companies to check out, a beer garden with Lakewood-brewed beer, historic demonstrations a tractor pull, face painting, a petting zoo, a horse wagon, a maze, a magician and an apple baked goods challenge. The event draws thousands of people each year, and it’s something that the city prides itself on.

“There is no better way to celebrate the fall harvest season than at Cider Days. We cover all of our bases, and we have everything that someone would want to enjoy at this time of year,” community events coordinator Rebecca Gushen said.

ion is beyond understanding. If you see an outfit and wonder to yourself, “Could I pull that off ?” the question has already been answered.

• Discovery — One of the best ways to explain why so many people like rap is to stand in the middle of a crowd with a DJ who has really, really good speakers.

• Reaffirmation — “1901” by Phoenix is a perfect song.

• Discovery — At a certain age, sitting in the middle of a field can be just as hard on the back as standing in one.

• Reaffirmation — Music has a tremendously unifying power. At a festival with electronic, country, rap, R&B, jazz and pop performers, you’ll get to meet all kinds of people you’d never expect and connect about music.

And learn you have more in common than thinking Kendrick Lamar is this generation’s Bob Dylan.

• • • • • “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel is one of that those songs that everyone seems to know, despite the fact that it is 35 years old. If you need the proof, here it is: the song soundtracked the defining moment of my Grandoozy experience.

At the end of the first night of Grandoozy, brimming over with the kind of joy that only comes from spending hours with music you love, I joined a bunch of strangers in a shuttle taking us to a light rail station.

As we pulled onto the road, “Uptown Girl” came on the radio. Everyone in that bus must’ve been feeling that same musical joy as me, because someone up front turned the radio as loud as it could go, and we all sang along at the very top of our lungs for the entire ride.

In its purest form, that community is what a music festival can do. Grandoozy gave everyone in that bus that for a moment, and that’s the only metric I need to call it a success. Here’s hoping it returns next year.

Thousands remember 9/11 at Colorado Memorial Stair Climb Red Rocks Amphitheatre event raises money for good causes

BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

M

ore than 2,300 people gathered the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11 to “never forget.” The participants of the 2018 Colorado 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb paid tribute to the 343 New York City firefighters and almost 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11 by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center.

“It’s all about keeping our promise we made to never forget,” said Shawn Duncan, coordinator of the Colorado climb and lieutenant at West Metro Fire. “That’s why we do this every year.”

In the 10th year of the climb at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, over 45 fire departments from 25 states and Canada were joined by community members.

Each climber wore a badge of one of the firefighters killed on 9/11.

The Phoenix Fire Department was one that sent representation to join the climb. Sam Jones, who was born and raised in Colorado and attended Warren Tech, was one of the firefighters representing Phoenix.

The Stair Climb benefits the FDNY Counseling Services Unit and the programs provided by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to support the families of our nation’s fallen. Over $1 million is raised annually.

Colorado’s Stair Climb is one of more than 40 stair climbs held around the world and is the largest and most well attended in the country.

T.J. Ricciardi climbed with West Metro Recruit Class 1802.

Ready, everyone, the lights are going down

BY CRAIG MARSHALL SMITH SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

L

ook closely: When John Wayne and Victor McLaglen fight it out near the end of John Ford’s “The Quiet Man,” it appears that McLaglen knocks off Wayne’s toupee with the first punch.

The songwriter in the apartment next to Jimmy Stewart’s in “Rear Window” was played by Ross Bagdasarian, whose stage name was David Seville. Seville had a hit record, “Witch Doctor,” in 1958. It featured a speeded-up vocal, and that would lead to the creation of his annoying musical chipmunks, Simon, Theodore, and Alvin.

A teenager named Myrna Adele Williams posed for her Venice, California, high school art teacher, who created a statue of the future actress that stood in front of the high school for more than 70 years.

Williams later changed her name to Myrna Loy. My lifelong love of films and film history has turned into this: a new feature that will focus on wonderful vintage films, one at a time, including dramas, comedies, noir mysteries like “Out of the Past,” a few foreign films like “Mr. Hulot’s Holiday,” and even documentaries.

At the ages of 9 and 10, I was allowed to do something almost unimaginable. I was allowed to go by myself to the State and the Michigan theaters in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

I vividly remember new releases like “Bridge on the River Kwai,” “Forbidden Planet” and “Pal Joey.”

I diligently researched films throughout high school, and then minored in film at UCLA. I was in paradise. All we did was watch films, starting with “The Great Train Robbery,” in a darkened theater in a campus building that backed on Sunset Boulevard.

I can’t think of a better film to introduce this whim of mine than Billy Wilder’s 1950 gem “Sunset Boulevard.” It’s a film about the film industry, and it features an unforgettable performance and a memorable final line.

Ben Mankiewicz, Turner Classic Movies’ finest host, said the last line of the film is as famous as the film itself.

Mankiewicz is the great-nephew — whatever that is — of screenwriter, director, and producer Joseph L. Mankiewicz (e.g., “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir”).

“Sunset Boulevard” features Glo-

Breathtaking views for lung association Run the Rocks STAFF REPORT

Thousands of runners, walkers and volunteers are expected for Run the Rocks, an American Lung Association event to raise awareness and money in the fight for clean air and healthy lungs.

Run the Rocks includes a 5K run/ walk and a 10K run with a finish on the steps of Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Live local bands perform and awards are presented to the top fundraising teams and individuals and for the fastest race finishers.

The event begins at 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 14.

Early registration costs of $45 for the 5K and $55 for the 10K are offered through Oct. 5. Day-of registration costs increase to $50 for the 5K and $60 for the 10K. Through Run the Rocks, the American Lung Association is

championing the fight for clean air and healthy lungs. While the Clean Air Act has helped to improve the air quality of the United States, much work is still to be done here.

Denver is the 11th worst city in the country for ozone pollution and last year, and Denver County received a Grade F for particle pollution, according to a news release.

The goal of Run the Rocks is to raise nearly $100,000 to support research and lung health programs in Colorado. Whether running as a part of a healthy lifestyle, to beat a previous time, or in honor of all those affected by lung disease, participants are joining a great cause and making a difference towards ending lung disease and improving our air.

ria Swanson as a suicidal, forgotten, former 1920s silent screen star who lives in a decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard, with a bald, stern, German servant name Max, played by Erich von Stroheim, and a chimp. The chimp (uncredited) dies.

By chance, a down-on-his luck screenwriter, played by William Holden, turns into the mansion’s driveway and is mistaken for the chimp’s coffin bearer.

However, because of a very unconventional start to the film, we know that Holden’s character, Joe Gillis, dies, and that everything that ensues is a flashback.

Anyone who has been as formed by films as I have been will value all of the historic details that surround this movie.

The address of the mansion featured in the film,10086 Sunset

Boulevard, doesn’t exist. The mansion that appeared was at 641 Irving Boulevard, at the corner of Irving and Wilshire.

Gloria Swanson, who plays Norma Desmond, was meant to be seen as an elderly woman, too old for the much younger Joe Gillis. In real time, Swanson was only 50 when she made the film, and Holden was 32.

Mae West was considered for the role of Norma Desmond.

The film’s final line?

“All right, Mr. DeMille. I’m ready for my close-up.”

Love of West shows in art at rec center, gallery Littleton-area painter depicts bison, iconic landscapes

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Arturo Garcia isn’t from the American West, but he was captivated by its distinctive lands and deep history.

“Colorado is a beautiful state — it’s easy to get inspired by the mountains, the lakes,” said Garcia, 43, a Littletonarea artist currently featured at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial.

Originally from Mexico, Garcia has lived in Colorado for the last 10 years, and his painting changed when he relocated. Enthralled by the history of bison and their place in Native American culture, he set out to highlight that relationship with his art. One piece of that is the colorful dots painted on the bison in his work, which represent their spirit, he said.

Native tribes “flourished with the buffalo being a central part in their lives,” Garcia said, noting the use of the animal for food, utensils, tools and even spiritual connection.

The influx of European settlers in the West led to a decline in the bison population, and Garcia wants his audience to be interested in the history and conservation of the animal.

Arturo Garcia, an artist from the Littleton area, talks about his painting, “Where the Buffalo Roam,” on display Sept. 13 at Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial. Garcia’s work has been featured at several locations in the south metro area.

ELLIS ARNOLD “I find it beneficial to know about our dark parts (in history), so we can learn about and not repeat them,” Garcia said. “As an artist, I’m somewhat responsible to paint a subject

that sheds light on truth, to inspire consciousness, to act in fairness.”

Garcia’s work will be featured at the recreation center at 6315 S. University Blvd. until Sept. 28, and the pieces are

for sale. His work can also be found at Willow — An Artisan’s Market at 2400 W. Main St. in Littleton. More information on Garcia is available at www. arturogarciafineart.com.

Sophomore Anna Reimers plays softball for Rock Canyon

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

R

ock Canyon centerfielder/pitcher Anna Reimers missed the Erie Tournament of Champions the first weekend of September because she was playing tennis in an Intermountain Sectional tournament in Salt Lake City.

Reimers is a nationally ranked tennis player, but the sophomore is also one of the leaders on the Rock Canyon softball team, which was eighth in the Sept. 10 CHSAANow.Com Class 5A poll.

“It was really hard miss-

ing that Erie tournament,” she said. “I really wanted to be there to help the team but there are four of those sectional tournaments each year and I play in all four of those. I won’t miss any more softball games the rest of this season.”

Reimers began playing competitive softball when she was 10 after playing recreationally for a few years. She said she picked up a tennis racket when she was 3 and hasn’t stopped playing.

“I like to play both sports but as of right now, my focus is on softball,” said Reimers, who does not play tennis for Rock Canyon in the spring.

COACH’S TAKE: ‘She is super coachable and talented. Not only does she listen but she puts it into practice, and if she doesn’t succeed at something, she works at it. She’s that rare combination of everything you need in an athlete from humility, a little bit of swagger, and the skill.’

Mike DeSimone, Rock Canyon girls softball coach

Q&A with Reimers What’s your favorite pregame meal?

I just get something from Subway or a vending machine.

Who is your favorite athlete?

I would say Jennie Finch from Team USA. I just thought she was real cool and a role model for a lot of people.

What music do you listen to before a game and why?

During pre-game, there is a mixture of rap and country that is played. It pumps us up.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

I really want to play in college, so everything I do has to lead up for me to keep playing in

college.

What is your favorite class in school and why?

Math. I just love math for some reason. I want to have a job in either finance or law.

What do you like to do away from sports and school?

I love to hang out with my sister (Audrey) and friends. I like to go to the mall with my sister.

What are your plans after high school?

I want to go to a college with good academics. I want to get on either the East Coast or California.

I really want to play Division 1 — either sport, but right now, the focus is on softball.

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

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | In eight games, Reimers was hitting .483 with four doubles, two home runs and 15 RBIs. On the mound, she has picked up two wins and has a 1.81 ERA.

Adjusting to new place, sport’s pace

R

ebecca Guggenbach is a 16-year-old with a passion for music.

She never had time to participate in athletic activities in the past, but she is on the Mountain Vista girls cross country team this season.

Guggenbach is an exchange student from Switzerland who is living with a host family.

“In my country, I do a lot of music,” she said.

OVERTIME “I play the cello and bass. I’m in an orchestra and band, so I had to be there every day. When I came here, I said I had to do something completely different. I picked cross country.

Jim Benton Everybody can join cross country, even if you are not the fastest.

“I really enjoy cross country.

Everybody is so nice. It was hard at first because the altitude is so much higher than in Switzerland.

I got used to it because we do it every day and I really like the races on Saturday.”

Mountain Vista is both the defending boys and girls cross country state champions and coach Jonathan Dalby invites anybody to join the team. He tries to include runners in various competitions during the season.

“Rebecca is improving a lot,” said Dalby. “She is not one of our top kids but is a hard worker with a really positive attitude.”

Guggenbach ran an 18:02.00 in the junior varsity race on Aug. 24 at the Vista Nation 2-Mile Invitational. She clocked a 26:29.00 on Aug. 31 at the Warrior Invitational in Centennial.

“I’ve done pretty good because I’ve never raced before,” Guggenbach said. “I’m glad I wasn’t last in any of the races. It is really hard to keep up with the best runners.”

Guggenbach is enjoying her time in Colorado at Mountain Vista, meeting new friends and polishing up on her English.

Alpine skiing, hockey, tennis, football (soccer) and Schwingen (wrestling) are the popular sports in Switzerland but Guggenbach is thinking about continuing here athletic endeavors at Mountain Vista. She may try out for girls swimming in the winter or track in the spring.

Young golfers fare well The Timm Academy All-Stars, a group of Centennial golfers between the ages of 9 and 13, finished third in the Firewheel Golf Park Regional finals in Garland, Texas, on Sept. 9.

Coached by Rick Timm, the Colorado Section team had a 1-2 record with 16 points in the PGA Junior League regional tourney.

The golfers were Gavin Amella, Brayden Destefano, Andre Dumonteil, Wesley Erling, Miles Kuhl, Kyle Leydon, Jackson Lowe, Matai Naqica, Yusuke Ogi and Blake Sullivan.

Valor Christian • The boys golf team won the Jefferson County 5A golf tournament on Sept. 11 at Walnut Creek Preserve Golf Course with a 308 total.

Jake Welch and Trevor White both had scores of 4-over-par 76 and Ty Findlow fired a 77 to lead the Eagles.

Welch carded a 1-under-par 71 to win the final league 5A tournament Sept.

13 at Fox Hollow golf course as the Eagles wrapped up the 5A Jeffco team title. Valor competed in the 5A Central regional state-qualifying tournament on Sept. 17 at Legacy Ridge Golf Course.

• The unbeaten football team will challenge Menlo-Atherton from Atherton, California, in a Sept. 21 game at Valor. The Eagles, ranked second in the Sept. 10 CHSAANow. com Class 5A poll, defeated topranked 4A team Pine Creek, 28-7, on Sept. 14. Senior quarterback Luke McCaffrey passed for a touchdown, ran for two others and finished with 365 total yards.

• The volleyball team still has not lost a set in seven matches and earned a pair of 3-0 wins over Legend on Sept. 13 and Regis Jesuit on Sept.

15. Myki Timlin had seven kills, four blocks and one dig to be named the team’s Player of Game against Regis.

Lily Thomason had 16 kills and a .522 hitting percentage in a standout performance against Legend.

Parking problem It is so refreshing to see rivalry football games with the stands full.

Fans and students have to arrive early to get seats for games like Douglas County vs. Castle View, for example. People are asked to sit close together to maybe create an open seat.

The biggest problem is getting out of the parking lots. Plan on at least 30 minutes to exit.

IN THEIR BUSINESS Consignment store opens A Denver entrepreneur, mother and philanthropist has come out of retirement to open a women’s consignment store in Centennial.

Jonna Tellinghuisen, 52, opened The Style Encore in early September, just a few years after selling and retiring from her 5,000-plus herd, family-run dairy farm at age 49. An entrepreneur from an early age, Tellinghuisen was just 24 when she owned Customizing Accounting Software. She then became a wife and mother of four daughters, before buying and running the dairy farm.

The Style Encore will buy and sell gently used apparel, shoes, handbags and accessories. Unlike a typical consignment store, no appointment is necessary to sell clothing and accessories, and it pays cash on the spot for goods it purchases from consumers.

Truly a family affair, Tellinghuisen will run it with her husband, Leon, their four daughters, her sister, her two nieces, and several other family members.

Style Encore is at 8223 S. Quebec St. in Centennial.

Counseling office opens Starting Today, which provides substance use/addiction assessment, outpatient and recovery services, recently opened at 2305 E. Arapahoe Road, Suite 122, near the Streets at SouthGlenn in Centennial.

Starting Today is licensed as a substance use disorder center and offers Level I DUI Education, Level II DUI Education and Level II DUI Therapy groups for outpatient services and recovery services including relapse prevention and Intense Outpatient treatment.

Owner Shantell McShane works with those involved in the criminal justice system and provides collaborate treatment with probation/parole officers, said a news release. Clients receive an individualized treatment plan during their first visit, and those plans are discussed weekly in groups with focus on achieving and maintaining those goals.

Additionally, Starting Today offers free, bi-weekly parent support meetings, led by parents of children struggling with

a substance use disorder or in recovery.

Meetings are open to the public.

Mainstream Boutique opens Mainstream Boutique opened in midSeptember in the Central Park Shops in Highlands Ranch.

“I am thrilled to realize my long-term goal of opening my own business,” owner Stacy Ingram, a longtime Douglas County resident, said in a news release. “Mainstream Boutique gives me the opportunity to make a difference in women’s lives.

When you have that right outfit on you just feel more confident.”

Mainstream Boutique is a national franchise system of 80 independently owned and operated women’s clothing boutiques in 22 states across the central, southern and eastern United States.

Mainstream Boutique Highlands Ranch is at 1485 Park Central Drive, Suite 100. Find the boutique on Facebook at mainstreamboutiquehighlandsranch or Instagram@mainstreamhighlandsranch.

Special fundraiser The executive chef of Vesta will take over Café 180 to raise money for the nonprofit restaurant and its affiliated entities.

Chef Nicholas Kayser’s creations, along with beer donated by Mockery Brewing, will be served at the Englewood-based community kitchen from 7-9 p.m. Sept.

27. Tickets cost $75 and are available at http://cafe180.org/chefs180. Learn more about Chef Nick and Vesta at http:// www.vestadenver.com.

Café 180 is operated by One Good Turn, which helps low-income, marginalized members of the community achieve longterm self-sufficiency by providing access to resources.

The café at 3315 S. Broadway, Englewood, serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Monday to Saturday. Each week, between 30 percent and 40 percent of the café’s customers volunteer for one hour in exchange for a healthy, fresh meal. Paying customers are asked to make a donation for their lunch, with the average donation ranging from $10 to $12. Since its inception in 2011, Café 180 has served more than 33,000 meals in exchange for volunteering. Learn more at cafe180.org.

Cats WILL YOU PLEASE TAKE ME? I am a 4yr Silver & white Tabby:) My mommy has to leave and cannot take me.

I only want to sit on the back of a chair and look out a window.

I don't need hardly any attention.

Just your company.

I love a string dangling from a stick.

And of course I love my little toy butterfly.

I can sit on the porch and backyard all day!

My potty habits are dainty and clean.

And I understand some words!

Will you give me a chance for a new home?

No cost! Call Dianne 303-349-7689

“Trust Us!” 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.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

- Aldous Huxley

Every day, the government makes decisions that can affect your life. Whether they are decisions on zoning, taxes, new businesses or myriad other issues, governments play a big role in your life.

Governments have relied on newspapers like this one to publish public notices since the birth of the nation. Local newspapers remain the most trusted source of public notice information. This newspaper publishes the information you need to stay involved in your community.

Notices are meant to be noticed.

Read your public notices and get involved!

BE Informed!
