Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez said on Jan. 31 that her office was scrambling to mail out hundreds of presidential primary ballots after a “data entry error” meant Lopez many overseas and military voters never received one.

Military and overseas voters, who can choose either a mail or email ballot, were supposed to receive their ballots for the March 3 presidential primary by Jan. 18, but 985 voters who requested a mail ballot never got one, according to a news release.

Military and overseas voters are known as UOCAVA voters for the

Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. Lopez said her office became aware of the error on Jan. 29 when they were contacted by UOCAVA email voters who were confused when they received both an email and mail ballot.

Lopez said a staffer inadvertently mislabeled the UOCAVA ballot lists, inadvertently sending the same list to both the email and mail vendors, meaning the 1,998 UOCAVA voters who requested an email ballot got both, and the mail ballot voters got neither.

Nobody cross-checked the staffer’s work before it was sent to the vendors, Lopez said, saying her office will change its protocols to ensure voter lists are verified before they’re sent out.

Of the affected voters, 381 were unaffiliated, 340 are Democrats and 264 are Republicans. About half are military members and their families.

Lopez said upon learning of the error, her staff immediately notified the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office, and began working to send out mail ballots.

South Suburban’s new ice arena:

5 THINGS TO KNOW

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Hockey players and figure skaters will have an ice place to skate next winter, with South Suburban Parks and Recreation District’s new ice rink and recreation complex slated to open in December.

Construction crews recently affixed the final roof beam to the sprawling complex at the southwest corner of County Line Road and South Holly Street. Here are five things to know:

01

arapahoegov.com/calendar

South Suburban’s new recreation complex will feature three sheets of ice, up from two at the old Ice Arena.

Three sheets of ice The complex will replace the South Suburban Ice Arena off Arapahoe Road, which turns 52 this year. The old ice arena features two sheets of ice, which are under increasing demand as hockey and skating programs grow, said South Suburban spokesperson Jamie DeBartolomeis.

Though initial plans for the new complex only included two sheets of ice, the community made it clear that wasn’t enough, DeBartolomeis said, and the new facility will feature three sheets.

Though initial estimates placed the cost of the new complex at $50 million, the project will likely cost $61 million, owing to the addition of the third ice sheet and higher-than-expected construction costs, DeBartolomeis said. The funding comes from a combination of bonds and certificates of participation, according to a fact sheet.

02

More than a place to skate Though the ice sheets are the centerpiece of the new facility, the complex will also include two indoor synthetic turf fields, and a gymnasium that can be divided into basketball, volleyball or pickleball courts.

The 206,000-square-foot facility will also feature a restaurant and bar, seating for more than 1,000 spectators, party rooms, training rooms and a pro shop. The facility will also be the new home of South Suburban’s administrative offices.

03

Old arena’s future unknown South Suburban will mothball the old ice arena for the time being, with no plans to sell the facility or the land.

The ground beneath the ice sheets is frozen to an unknown depth, DeBartolomeis said, and could take years to defrost.

The district doesn’t have firm plans yet for the old building.

Initial studies looked at revamping or expanding the old facility, but found that even partial thawing of the permafrost beneath the building could cause foundation upheaval, and the district concluded it was more cost-effective to build a new facility.

The adjacent parking lot will become overflow parking for DeKoevend park.

04

New site for disc golf The new recreation complex replaced the site of old South Suburban disc golf course, which has been moved to the West Fork Open Space Park, on South Broadway between Plaza Drive and Highlands Ranch Parkway.

The new 18-hole disc golf course will open in May, DeBartolomeis said, and will be operated by Highlands Ranch Metro District, which ponied up for the bulk of the $480,000 project.

05

And more South Suburban has lots of other irons in the fire, DeBartolomeis said. Three of the district’s four outdoor pools — Harlow, Franklin and Holly — are getting total rebuilds this winter, with plans to open in time for Memorial Day. The district is also gearing up for a board election — two seats on the district’s five-member board are up for grabs. The election will be held May 5. For more information, visit ssprd.org.

On the streets and on the move

Annual count highlights hurdles in climbing out of homelessness

STATS ON HOMELESSNESS

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Going to college but still living on the South Platte River. Surviving on the streets for years after a divorce.

Two brothers, nearly 60 years old, still searching for foliage to stay outdoors undetected.

These are among the stories people experiencing homelessness shared with volunteers for the annual Point in Time survey, an effort to count the number of people sleeping outdoors in metro areas around the country.

Each January, volunteers from churches, human services departments, nonprofits and law enforcement spread out across the Denver metro area, and around the nation, to conduct the one-day survey. Last year, the survey found 5,755 people homeless across the Denver metro area.

Housing prices skyrocketed over the past decade in the Denver area, but the cost of a roof overhead isn’t the only factor that pushes people into homelessness. And many of them grew up in the area where they now survive outside.

“I got laid off and divorced, lost my house,” said Billy Welty, 51, who grew up in Englewood. “I ended up on the streets. I had a motor home for a while and had a truck and camper. I had to sell them just to eat.”

Welty has been homeless for 16 years off-and-on. He came to Giving Heart Englewood, a homeless services center, for a Jan. 28 event where volunteers interviewed people for the Point in Time survey. The night before, Welty slept at a bus stop. That day, he’d likely stay on a local greenbelt, he said. Often, he’ll sleep all day and walk around all night to stay warm.

Asked what has kept him homeless for so long, Welty said: “If you really want to know, it’s employment. If you can’t get a job, you can’t get a roof. I had over 100 applications out there in the last few years.”

But getting calls back didn’t matter when his phone stopped working.

Homeless individuals outdoors often must play a game of bouncing from place to place, hoping law enforcement doesn’t uproot them.

“If you go to the Platte (River), Denver cops will run you out. If you’re in Littleton, police will (move you). Englewood sends you to Littleton, Denver sends you to Littleton or Englewood, or vice-versa,” Welty said.

One familiar face on the river is D.J. Morrison, a 41-year-old who has attended Metropolitan State University of Denver for the past few years with the help a student loan and financial aid. He weathered 2 1/2 years on a housing waiting list through Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, and his number finally came up, he said. He’s hoping to be housed soon.

D.J. Morrison, a 41-year-old who has experienced homelessness for about four to five years on-and-off in the DenverEnglewood area, sits Jan. 28 with his dog, Crash, at Giving Heart homeless-services center. Crowds of people experiencing homelessness came to the center during an event to encourage participation in the annual Point in Time survey. campus’s Tivoli building and library, a trend that has increased since fall 2018, Morrison said. A free meal service operates at the campus each day, he added.

Near the time that a Denver County judge ruled in December 2019 that Denver’s urban camping ban is unconstitutional based on protections against cruel and unusual punishment, Morrison said more people appeared to move to the Platte.

“I’ve seen tents just pop up out of nowhere on the river, next to the light rail (and) in vacant lots” around that time, Morrison said.

Denver police announced they would no longer enforce the city’s urban camping ban after the ruling, but they resumed enforcement in January pending an appeal of the case.

Morrison finds enough resources to survive in the metro area, but he said transportation — specifically bus passes — is a top need for homeless people in the area.

Brothers Thomas Trevithick, 59, and Timothy Trevithick, 58, stay in the Englewood-Littleton area and also came to Giving Heart during the survey event.

They avoid the Platte River — calling

it too cold, crowded and dangerous — instead dwelling in foliage and bushes and trying “not to get busted,” Timothy Trevithick said.

He ended up homeless about two years ago after losing a job, and his brother has been homeless for decades, owing to problems with his father that began in his childhood, Thomas Trevithick said.

Both brothers have had strokes, one in 2006 and the other about seven years later, they said. They grew up in the Arapahoe High School area in what’s now Centennial.

Affordable housing is the main challenge for them.

“That’s No. 1,” Timothy Trevithick said. “It’s hard enough to do anything without eating right and sleep and getting your prescriptions.”

The Point in Time survey doesn’t catch everyone experiencing homelessness.

At GraceFull Cafe, a pay-what-youcan restaurant in Littleton that caters to everyone, including the area’s burgeoning population without homes, Frances Radford and Rick Kible said though they often sleep outdoors as they struggle to find housing, they hadn’t encountered any volunteers with surveys, who left the cafe hours before Radford and Kible showed up for lunch. Depending on the night, they might not even fit the survey’s definition of homeless.

“Sometimes we stay with a guy we know, but he’s pretty unstable, and some nights he won’t let us come by,” said Kible, 61. “Those nights we usually find a spot under a tree.”

Radford said she’d been homeless for about a year, after an apartment manager told her she had to stop allowing friends to move into her place, or hand over the keys.

“I’m stubborn,” said Radford, 81. “I handed over my keys. I wasn’t about to kick out my friends.”

Kible said he’s been homeless many times over the past 16 years. Struggling with alcoholism, Kible said he can manage to hold down a place while he’s sober, but relapses have cost him homes

Each January, volunteers from churches, human-services departments, nonprofits and law enforcement join forces in communities across the Denver metro area, and areas around the nation, to conduct the Point in Time survey of their region’s homeless population.

The count includes people who stay overnight in a place not ordinarily used for sleeping, such as a car, park, abandoned building or bus station. The count also includes people who are living in shelters, transitional housing, and hotels and motels paid for by a government or charitable organization.

The results from this year’s survey are months away, but here’s a breakdown of the 2019 numbers: • The PIT survey by the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative counted 5,755 homeless people on Jan. 28, 2019, in the sevencounty metro area.

• That’s an uptick from 5,317 people on Jan. 29, 2018, but because of limitations in the one-night survey, trends are difficult to identify.

• The area includes Denver, Arapahoe, Jefferson, Adams, Douglas, Broomfield and Boulder counties. About 69% stayed in Denver, 11% in Boulder, about 8% in both Adams and Jefferson, and 4% — or 228 individuals — in Arapahoe County.

• The total included 627 veterans.

• Of the survey’s total, 542 people said they were fleeing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault or stalking.

• Of the total, 1,706 said they had a substance abuse issue, 95 were living with HIV or AIDS and 1,947 indicated a mental health issue.

• About 29% of all homeless individuals stayed in transitional housing, while about 54% were in emergency shelter and 0.6% were in supportive housing for mental illness, also called “safe havens.” About 16%, or 946 people, were unsheltered.

• Those who identify as black or AfricanAmerican are overrepresented in homelessness at (21.2%) compared to those in the general metro Denver population (5.1%). Native Americans are also overrepresented, making up just 0.5% of the regional population overall but 6% of those experiencing homelessness.

• The count did not include people sleeping at friends’ or families’ homes.

Source: 2019 Metro Denver Homeless Initiative Point-In-Time survey (available at www.mdhi.org/pit) and friends.

Both said they’re grateful for GraceFull Cafe, where they can eat a healthy meal in peace and comfort without judgment.

GraceFull Cafe’s owner, Heather Greenwood, said the survey is just one data point toward addressing a large and nebulous issue.

“Quantitative data is a piece of the puzzle, but you can’t measure the qualitative portion,” Greenwood said.

“Nobody is measuring what impact you can have by smiling and saying hello to someone on hard times. I think before we can talk solutions, we have to have empathy.”

DA travels to Malaysia to give human rights training STAFF REPORT

George Brauchler, 18th Judicial District attorney, recently traveled to Malaysia on behalf of the Department of Defense to conduct human rights-related training.

Brauchler, a colonel and military judge in the Colorado Army National Guard, worked with members of the Malaysian navy, teaching courses on use of force, gender violence and human trafficking under the auspices of the Defense Institute of International Legal Studies.

The defense institute is the “lead DoD security cooperation resource for global legal engagement and capacity-building with international defense sector officials” and regularly works with militaries around the globe, according to a news release.

“I have spent a career doing nearly everything in military law, and I was happy be able to work with our partner countries on the important work of upholding the law of armed conflict,” Brauchler said in the release. “The United States is a global democracy leader, and we

are actively engaged in working with our military partners to uphold international standards.”

Brauchler’s commitment to service extends beyond his actions and includes the district attorney’s office, the release said. When hiring, he actively seeks qualified applicants with military service. The office supports its prosecutors while they deploy to Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait and elsewhere, and two of its prosecutors are on active duty, the release said.

“As a veteran of the Iraq war, and as member of the Colorado Army National Guard, I know well the value these women and men bring to any organization, especially one dedicated to upholding our Constitution and seeking justice,” Brauchler said.

In 2017, the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office was awarded the Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the first DA’s office to be honored in the 22-year history of the award.

“I am proud to have created the most veteran- and militaryfriendly office in government,” Brauchler said in the release.

Arapahoe County Chief Deputy Director Karl Hermann, left, Clerk and Recorder Joan Lopez and county spokesman Luc Hatlestad go over ballot counts on Jan 31. Lopez said her office was scrambling to send out presidential primary mail ballots to military and overseas voters after a clerical error meant they were never sent.

DAVID GILBERT

BALLOTS FROM PAGE 2

All the replacement ballots were scheduled to be sent out by the end of Jan. 31, Lopez said.

The error means the office did not meet the Secretary of State’s deadline of 45 days before the election for sending out ballots, Lopez said. The office will now be required to submit a compliance plan and regular status updates to the state for the June primary and November general election.

“Mistakes were made,” Lopez said. “I certainly don’t want us to make any errors, but it happens. It’s a learning process. I have full confidence in my staff that we’ll look at every error that happens in every

election and look over our processes and make sure that we do better each time.”

Lopez previously vowed to improve her office’s election processes in November, after drawing criticism for what many called slow vote counts in the midterm election and a fumbled answer to a reporter’s question about the fairness of the vote-counting process. Lopez was also criticized by a county ethics board in December for what it called sloppy adherence to county travel reimbursement policies.

Lopez said she has taken steps to improve the office, citing the recent hiring of former Denver Clerk and Recorder candidate Peg Perl as the county’s new elections director.

“She’s been on board about a week,” Lopez said. “Just long enough to get stressed out about this.”

Beside the highway, a Persian oasis Ladan’s serves up the cooking of Iran from a tent restaurant just off Santa Fe Drive

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On a frontage road beside Santa Fe Drive, nestled among auto body shops, inside a small canopy tent, amid sumptuous furnishings and tables topped with backgammon boards, Ladan Azizi and her friends turn out Persian delicacies.

“We’re all family, and we want you to feel like you’re coming home for dinner,” said Azizi, who opened Ladan’s, a Persian restaurant, around New Year’s.

The Ladan’s menu features intricately spiced lamb kabobs, from-scratch falafel, fluffy saffron rice, homemade hummus topped with fresh pomegranate, tart cucumber sauce, rich baklava and hot tea sprinkled with fresh-ground cardamom. Entrees run from $9 to $13.

“We only have a few menu items, but they’re the best you’re going to find,” said owner Frey Asgari.

Ladan’s is located at 4435 S. Santa Fe Drive, accessible via a frontage road running between Oxford Avenue and Union Avenue along the west side of the highway.

The unlikely spot for a restaurant

IF YOU GO Ladan’s is located at 4355 S. Santa Fe Drive, on a frontage road that stretches between Oxford Avenue and Union Avenue along the west side of the highway.

Phone: 720-695-6592 Hours: 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Closed Sundays.

— with the kitchen housed in a trailer attached to the tent — isn’t a concern for Asgari, who owns the used car dealership next door.

“There are a few Persian restaurants in the Denver area, but nothing of this caliber,” Asgari said. “We’ve already got people coming to see us from other cities.”

On a brisk January afternoon, old friends came and went from Ladan’s, exchanging hugs, air kisses and greetings in Farsi, the language of Iran. At a nearby table sat a young man from Brighton who was in the area for a car part but decided to try Persian food for the first time.

Asgari said he came to America in the mid-1970s, and the country has been good to him.

“I thank God and this country that gave me the opportunity to be here, and to have a place for my friends,” Asgari said.

Ladan’s “doesn’t have an atmosphere like Shanahan’s,” the upscale steakhouse, Asgari said, but it’s a comfortable, inviting place.

Ladan’s, a Persian restaurant, operates out of a tent beside South Santa Fe Drive.

DAVID GILBERT

Elnaz Azizi, Ladan’s younger sister who moved from Iran two years ago, said she’s thankful for the restaurant while she establishes herself in America.

“I’m so glad I’m here,” said Elnaz, who studies English at Emily Griffith Technical College. “College is so expensive in Iran. Someday I hope to go to university to become an architect or a lawyer.”

In the meantime, the group of friends and family is focusing on the food of

With the sounds of the highway outside drowned out by Farsi folks songs on the stereo, the air rich with the aroma of spices, Asgari finished a plate of lamb stew over rice and stood to head next door to the car lot.

MY NAME IS

DANIAL GRIGGS

Former publisher works to acquire land, mineral rights for oil companies Known in downtown I used to publish a magazine, the Littleton Downtowner. I started it in 2005, and it lasted until 2010. The intent was to rival 5280, the Denver magazine, but only focusing on the south metro area. Pretty much everyone in downtown Littleton knows me.

Soon I’ll be opening a market for the downtown Littleton area, on Sycamore Street, a little ways north of Ned Kelly’s Pub. It’s called Grande Market. I call it a “specialty convenience store,” with produce, dry goods, and grab-and-go meals.

When I moved here in 2004, there wasn’t much happening on Main Street. There were a lot of vacant stores, and some used as storage space. Within a few years, after I started publishing my magazine, it started to change. I feel like I helped impact that. It’s vibrant now. There are a lot of world-class restaurants.

It’s every person’s kind of place.

In the oil business I moved from Oklahoma in 1994, then lived in the mountains, and eventually Littleton. Growing up in Oklahoma was boring. If you’re not a

rancher or cattleman, you can feel a little out of place.

I grew up in the oil business, and I’m still in it. I’ve tried to get out, but I always find myself sucked back in.

I’m a land man. It’s a job with a lot of definitions, but it’s about acquiring land or mineral rights for oil companies. My main function is research, but I used to do the purchasing and negotiations.

Cutthroat competition it’s a brutal, cutthroat industry. The competition at the high level can get pretty stiff. Some land men resort to less-than-ethical tactics.

The worst one I see is when a company is trying to acquire mineral rights from owners, be they grandmas, farmers or businesses, they negotiate seemingly in good faith, but when they get somebody on the hook who’s not savvy, they take advantage of them. They’ll offer them a good price, get them excited, get them to the table, then pull the rug out and offer a lower price. They trick sellers into thinking they can’t negotiate.

That’s not the big operations — it’s the small-time guys.

Oil is an innovative industry, but it’s still steeped in the reality of what oil is: a necessity. We’re trying to get away from that, with electric cars and so forth, but it’ll take a long time to fully replace oil in our society.

that claim was a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics study released last year showing Utah was the No.1 state in the country, at a rate of 3.7%. As of 2018, Colorado’s rate hovered around 1.8% The presentation and panel discussion centered around “keeping Colorado competitive.�

Ament said Colorado is slipping in some categories that could hurt its job growth in the long run, specifically the state’s trouble with transportation funding. “The systems that we have that support our economy, support people’s

lives and make Colorado great have a connection to what the future will be like,� said Henry Sobanet, chief financial officer of Colorado State University. Sobanet’s presentation suggested the systems that brought Colorado to this point may not bring the state to the same level of vibrancy in the future.

Attracting and retaining skilled workers locally will be important to maintain the state’s upward trajectory.

Colorado ranks second in the nation (behind Massachusetts) in workforce education level, Ament said. “There’s very good evidence that an advanced education will make your life better if you measure it by how much money you make,� Sobanet said, citing a statistic from the Bureau of

Rethink Your Space

Labor Statistics. “Therefore, it translates into better tax revenue and the vibrancy we have in Colorado.�

Sobanet said to remain competitive, the state needs to invest in its public transportation system.

Sobanet presented a diagram illustrating how Colorado’s Taxpayer’s Bill of Rights clashes with the state’s requirement for increasing public school funding (Amendment 23) and limits to property tax growth (the Gallagher Amendment), forcing the state to foot high education bills, which detracts from funding for public roads.

No one suggested TABOR should be repealed or modified, but both Ament and Sobanet suggested the state needs to find better sources of funding for transportation. Voters last year

turned down Proposition CC, which would have allowed the state to retain dollars for education and transportation funding above the TABOR spending cap.

The third panelist, Skillful CEO Beth Cobert, suggested to employers in the audience to focus on skills.

Cobert spoke about Skillful’s mission. Skillful is an initiative to create a skills-based labor market from the Markle Foundation, a nonprofit tech and health care company.

Cobert said 80% of today’s jobs require at least a moderate or high level of certain skills.

Cobert encouraged employers in the audience to consider hiring people on a skill-based platform over strictly looking at experience or credentials.

VOICES

A perfect place for those who love cats and toes

E

rnest Hemingway kept six-toed cats at his home, now a museum, in Key West, Florida.

They’re QUIET called “polydactyl cats.”

DESPERATION The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum currently has 40-50 polydactyl cats roaming around.

Cats normally have five front toes and four back toes.

Six-toed cats were often taken on ships for two reasons: They Craig Marshall were good at ridding Smith rodents, and they were thought to be lucky.

Hemingway was given his first polydactyl cat, named Snow White, by a ship captain.

In general, people are thought to prefer dogs or cats, not both.

I prefer dogs, and I prefer a specific breed. I am on my fourth (and final) Dachshund.

I don’t hold much with folklore, as fascinating as it is. I doubt if Hexe, Badger, Smitty or Harry have brought me greater luck than the fortune of knowing them.

Harry has allergies. Determining what they were was expensive.

Bloodwork was done and sent to a laboratory in Mesa, Arizona. The results came back in a book that looked like the one Ralph Edwards used to read from on “This Is Your Life.”

There were pages of possible allergies with checked and unchecked boxes next to them.

The main culprit, we determined, was oats.

But there were others: rap music,

Fox News, hat check girls who wear tons of makeup, and wedding receptions.

Harry now eats a prescription diet.

The dry and hard food cannot be purchased without a prescription.

He takes a pill a day too.

None of this has brought me luck.

But, as I said, knowing him does.

How does your dog or cat look to you these days?

My guess is your dog or cat looks better than ever.

Harry and I read the newspaper together each and every morning.

I look at the front page and moan, groan, mumble and mutter, and all he does is give me two brown eyes that shine with the bliss of joyful ignorance.

Ignorance in the sense he is uninformed.

Harry is smart, but he’s not in the

Top Ten. Here’s the list: Border Collie, Poodle, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Doberman Pinscher, Shetland Sheepdog, Labrador Retriever, Papillon, Rottweiler and Australian Cattle Dog. Dogs at the bottom of the list will be listed at the bottom of the column.

As for cats?

Who cares?

Oh, OK: Abyssinian, Burmese, Cornish Rex, Siamese, Scottish Fold and Eartha Kitt.

Remember Cat Stevens?

He was born Steven Demetre Georgiou. He changed his name to Cat Stevens and then to Yusuf Islam.

Like Cher, he now goes by a mononym: Yusuf. That’s four names in one lifetime.

My name isn’t very cool. And cool is SEE SMITH, P13

ave you ever heard a really bad joke? Or maybe just a very funny joke told really poorly? We can probably all WINNING say yes to that one, WORDS couldn’t we? We have also probably been told a story that missed its desired mark or that was shared in such a way that we didn’t quite make the connection.

But sometimes we just have to put Michael Norton things in the right context. What if the intent of the joke or story being told, regardless of how poorly it was told, was to lift the spirits of someone who was feeling down or needed encouragement?

When we think of it in those terms, maybe we can start to see where intent could be equal to or even more important than technique.

Now you might be thinking, is that kind of like, “It’s the thought that counts”? Yes, I am sure that it is in some way. However, is it

By acting with the very best of intentions, each and every one of our experiences and relationships could be altered for the better. Good intentions foster trust, and trust is better than good at work and at home.

Even when we falter or stumble in our attempts, even when someone may feel initially hurt, angry, or upset because of our best of intentions plans, words and actions, when the positive intention is ultimately recognized, understanding and appreciation will almost always win the day.

Here’s the other thing, a positive attitude and intention go hand-in-hand.

It would be hard to have a negative attitude and a positive intention at the same time. A positive attitude is very important, and sometimes we can have a positive attitude without taking any action.

LIFE

Comedian Zac Maas headlined the show at Max Taps brewery in Highlands Ranch Sat. Jan. 25. Maas’ jokes produced laughter, shock and applause.

Comedy shows adjust to outlying audiences

Michael Jeffries hosted and produced the standup show at Max Taps Jan. 25. He began the show about two years ago.

BY ELLIOTT WENZLER EWENZLER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

W

hen local comedian Michael Jeffries stepped up to the mic at Max Taps Brewery in Highlands Ranch, the room was filled with a variety of suburbanites.

Folks just getting off work, couples young and old, friend groups and beer lovers filed into the seats in the back room of the brewery on Jan. 25. Minutes before, the room was occupied by a crowd from a funeral reception.

Jeffries, 29, who produces and hosts the show, opened with a joke apologizing for his appearance.

“I made the mistake of sleeping on my hair last night,” he said. “I know I should start sleeping on a mattress instead, but mattresses are expensive and the hair is free if you don’t ask any stupid (expletive) questions.”

When Jeffries first started the suburban showcase, he was asked to only book comics who will remain clean and non-political. The crowds in the suburbs tend to skew older and more conservative, after all.

The problem, he said, is that leaves

almost no one to perform. So, he asked the owner to trust him and after one show, he was given full authority to just book the funniest people possible.

“Just because you live in the suburbs doesn’t mean you don’t like to laugh,” Jeffries said. “Even if the joke is dirty … or even against your political beliefs.”

Jeffries is just one of the Denverbased comedians capitalizing on the fact that while everyone enjoys laughing, not everyone wants to sit in an hour of traffic to do it.

A world away While solid comedy is generally successful everywhere, there are some big differences between the suburban and

urban comedy scenes. Those distinctions just might be the reason downtown’s shows are experiencing huge growth and the outskirts are seeing a slower uptick.

For starters, the suburbs are much more spread out, meaning ride-sharing services can get expensive quickly, said Wende Curtis, owner of Comedy Works, which has locations in downtown Denver and Greenwood Village.

Curtis opened up Comedy Works’ suburban club in 2008 after market research showed that’s where the bulk of people are moving, she said.

“It’s 13 1/2 miles from the original location downtown … but it’s a world away,” she said.

Even if suburban crowds still like to

laugh at the not-so-clean jokes, producers still tend to book people who lean away from dirtier humor in their sets.

“My philosophy is on a Saturday night if I’ve got tickets available and people can walk in and buy a ticket, I want to appeal to (our audience),” Curtis said. “Chances are you might get somebody a little edgier walking in downtown and you’re going to get somebody a little cleaner if you go south.”

Another factor challenging the comedy scene in the suburbs is the demographics. Josue Flores, a Denverbased comedy producer, describes his target ticket buyer as between the ages of 21 and 34. In the city center, there’s a higher density of this group. A few miles from downtown, the crowds tend to skew a little older, more conservative and less diverse, Flores said.

That’s why the suburbs tend to be a place where local comics can really put their jokes to the test said Korey David, a local comedian and producer.

“The suburban rooms are where you find out what your material actually is,” David said. “It’s easy to pander to audiences in the urban area because everyone agrees with you.”

Tim Kathka and Bill Knoll, both members of the active Littleton Fine Arts Guild (and both Nebraska natives), will exhibit their photographs in the gallery at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in Highlands Ranch from Feb. 7 through March 12. The pair will hold a reception from 10:30 to noon, between services, on Feb. 9 so they can talk about their special shots with art lovers.

Guild member Kathy Meyers is active with the Art at St. Andrew program and invited them to exhibit their images.

Kathka, a retired architect who especially worked on churches, and Knoll, a retired electrical engineer, share a special interest in the night sky and Milky Way, but both are interested in other aspects of nature as well — birds, animals, wildflowers, mountains, lakes, rivers and what else

occurs in the world around them.

Knoll is also an accomplished woodworker and will bring some of that art as well to display in glass cases …

He said he was accepted as a Guild member based on his 3-D art and he likes to work with “rescued wood.” If he sees a tree being cut down, he stops to ask for wood. What about drying it, we wonder. Green wood is easier to carve, so he forms a piece and then lets it dry, weighing it to track on drying.

Fine finishing follows. If it has a knothole or cracks, he has a food-safe liquid product that can repair it and he is careful that finishes are also food-safe.

Kathka first learned about manual shooting from a couple of Navy buddies, he said and these artists both talked about how today one can “just shoot and look at the computer to see if it works well.” Post processing is a whole different story, they agreed, talking of subscriptions to Photoshop (Knoll has used it for 30 years) and other products one can subscribe to.

They recommend wide-angle lenses.

Knoll also has a longer lens that allows him to merge three shots to create panoramic prints — which he’ll include in the exhibit.

Wings Over the Rockies opens drones exhibit STAFF REPORT

With drone applications for home use, entertainment, homeland defense, and more, will people continue to make the critical decisions or will computers take over the controls?

Find out in “Drones: Is the Sky the Limit?” the latest traveling exhibition coming to Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum.

Over 75 years, drones have evolved

from remote-controlled planes used for target practice into versatile and highly specialized aircraft.

As these aircraft fill the skies, they raise concerns about airspace, privacy, and ethics in modern warfare, according to a news release. But these concerns are eclipsed by excitement for their potential: someday drones will explore Mars, serve as pilotless flying taxis, and deliver packages and groceries to our front doors.

“Drones: Is The Sky The Limit?” features real drones, in-depth label paneling, and rich audio-visual content. In addition, it displays a drone racing video interactive, and provides a birds-eye view of the aeronautics, engineering, science, technologies and innovations of one of the most intriguing topics dominating our culture.

Developed by subject experts from the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum

and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, “Drones: Is The Sky The Limit?” explores the modern phenomenon of drones, their uses throughout history, and the possibilities of the future role that drones will play in our society.

“With drones becoming such a big part of our culture, it’s essential to better understand their evolution and role in contemporary society,” Tom Zaller of Imagine Exhibitions said in the release.

Still trying to warm up to esports

STUDENT-ATHLETE STUDENT ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT

Swimmer isn’t about self Anna Wetzel has happy memories of Olympian

F

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

wimming is often considered an individual sport, but Arapahoe senior captain Anna Wetzel feels differently.

Wetzel holds one individual Centennial League and school record and is a member of two record Warriors relay foursomes, but she never forgets about the team.

“Swimming is like an individual sport but it is really not,” said Wetzel.

“It’s more for me. I swim for everyone. It is difficult for some of the girls to understand,especially some of the club swimmers.

“They have built it into their brains that `I am swimming for me and I need this time.’ It’s not that mmy team needs me to win so that we can win the meet.’

“I really started to notice when I started high school that it became prevalent that club is more individualized,” she continued. “For me personally I swim a lot faster when I know that I’m doing it for my team rather than for myself.”

COACH’S TAKE: ‘She is a senior captain, a great person and very committed to the Arapahoe swimming program.’

Mike Richmond, Arapahoe girls swim coach

PHOTO BY JIM BENTON

Q&A with Wetzel Who is your favorite athlete and why?

Missy Franklin because she swam at Regis and lived in the neighborhood next to mine. In the summer she would practice at the pool where I practiced and I looked up to her because she was so kind.

She always said hi to us even though we weren’t supposed to talk to her because she was an Olympian and had to focus on her training.

What or who motivates you most to excel in sports?

My team. I know they

will always be there for me no matter what happens, What are your plans after high school?

I am going to swim at the University of Hawaii and plan to study kinesiology.

I can’t imagine me not doing something involved with sports. I want to be able to help people, especially athletes.

What habits to you have before a race?

I normally slap my legs before a race to get kind of warmed up and then I will shake my arms. And

when they say step on the blocks, I clap my hands twice. I feel like if I don’t clap I’m not ready for the race.

What is your favorite food?

My grandmother is from Italy and my mom makes her pasta sauce and I love it.

What is important for a good time in the 100 breaststroke?

Making sure you are pulling a lot of water and you need to make sure you are really powerful and going as fast as you possibly can.

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

Email Jim Benton at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia.com

Key stats | Wetzel holds the league and school record of 1:04.51 in the 100 breaststroke. She is part of the school record 200 freestyle (1:35.44) and 200 medley relay (1:46.16) teams.

irst of all, I admit that I’m a little old school.

I generally like and prefer the way things used to be handled.

Which brings me to the first Esports League of Legends state championship for the pilot sport, which was held Jan. 25.

I’m having a hard time welcoming esports into the Colorado High School OVERTIME Activities Association.

Esports, or electronic sports, is a form of competition using video games.

It is a controversial point for debate whether Jim Benton esports is a sport. It is gaining popularity, and most of the world considers electronic sports to be a sport because of the planning, timing and execution required.

CHSAA wanted to bring the competition into the schools and have a big-time championship, which I applaud, but it is still not a physical sport and it will take a while for esports to attract interest from me.

Ryan Casey, the CHSAA director of digital media, called the first esports championship amazing and labeled esports as a good pilot program.

Casey wrote about the first championship, which was won

by Cherry Creek with a 2-0 win over Gateway. Highlands Ranch and Bear Creek were the other two semifinal teams among the 56 teams that were in the first pilot program season.

Reading Casey’s story was like reading Greek to me, with plenty of words I did not understand — like towers, eliminations and dragons.

Don’t ask what any of the terms mean. This is all new to me.

According to Casey, Vlad Dolzhenko dealt 56,327 damage, had a 13-4 kill/death ratio and 28 assists to lead the Bruins in the finals.

Casey also pointed out that Gateway’s Leonid Chyzhykov had what apparently is an outstanding KDA line of 18/2/11 against Bear Creek in the semis.

“I’m back to an old film camera for that,” Knoll commented. But he can use the lens on his newest camera as well.

They share satisfaction that grandchildren are being taught to do manual shooting in school classes. Teachers realize the importance of understanding how it all works.

Both use full-frame Nikon cameras and agree that they “make what you’re doing better …” And to shoot the Milky Way, you want as little light as possible. You look for something interesting for the foreground — e.g., a small lake, a pond …

Happy accidents happen too.

Kathka spoke of being set up for a night shot at Echo Lake, after time shooting on Mount Evans, when a car appeared, sweeping lights across the lake. “It lit the foreground nicely,” he said. They also speak of “the blue hour” before sunrise.

They attended a Len Randall class in Rocky Mountain National Park, where they were all too aware of light pollution from Denver. Another lesson learned that night: Kathka fell and Knoll, a first responder, was able to give him some needed care. “I don’t need to be out by myself, alone!” Kathka said.

CALENDAR

St. Andrew United Methodist Church is located at 9203 S. University Blvd., Highlands Ranch. It is open seven days a week, beginning at 8 a.m. The public is invited to enjoy the ongoing art exhibits. Information: gostandrew.com/ connect/music/art/. Kathka and Knoll will have a reception from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Feb. 9.

start safe at the suburban shows, he said. That’s because many people in these areas have never seen a show like this.

“You’re just dealing with different types of people who are going to find different types of comedy funny,” he said. “Once you start getting repeat customers, then you can take more risks.”

David also hosts a regular show in Arvada called Hootenanny, which combines live music and comedy.

“A lot of times people think it will be rough (in the suburbs) but it’s actually quite the opposite,” he said.

In Parker, stand-up comedian Rion Evans and improv comedian Grant Garrison are also both working to distinguish the small town as a strong place for comedy.

“I want to turn Parker into the city that’s known for having the best comedy scene in Colorado,” Garrison said. “I don’t want to commute for my comedy.”

The Milky Way offers challenges — Knoll went to the Caribbean, seven degrees north of the equator, before Thanksgiving, where he could use the ocean in the foreground and skies are very dark ... and it was positioned differently — “opposite of what I was used to.”

Kathka said his “In the Beginning” project grew out of a special friendship with a woman who lost everything, including her art collection, in the recent Datura Apartment fire. She saw Kathka’s night photography and wanted one to start replacing lost works.

She also told him of her work with LOVE Inc. in Littleton, which was very involved in helping fire victims with their varied needs.

Kathka donated a photo for the fall fundraiser and made some cards as well. Knoll donated wooden bowls. Both are members of the organization.

“Between us, we’ll have close to 90 works,” they say.

Build it and they will come While the audiences tend to be extra appreciative of these live shows close to home, they can also be pickier.

“When you’re older, you’re more selective,” Curtis said. “You just want to see who you want to see.”

Another reason the community hasn’t taken off more is because of

Local comedian Mandy Kay delivers her set at a suburban stand-up showcase in Highlands Ranch.

ELLIOTT WENZLER a lack of open mics for people to try out comedy for the first time, said Harrison Garcia, another local comic working the suburban crowds.

“I wouldn’t say that any places in (suburban Denver) have their own distinct scene,” he said, “Most of the time a comedy scene needs a few venues that are willing to regularly host not only shows but open mics allowing new comics to try things out.”

As Denver and its comedy scene continue to grow, spaces like the ones Garcia described will continue to pop up, Curtis said. But will the same happen in the suburbs?

“I think the more urban (shows) are going to have a better success rate than the suburban ones, but you know, eventually something’s going to stick,” Curtis said. “Build it and they will come and if it’s strong enough … they’re going to come back.”
