Low-income residents could be on the move South Metro Housing Options wants to sell or demolish 71 homes

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Jackie Chavez was finally starting to feel settled.

Chavez, 28, spent her younger years moving from place to place in east Denver, with her young children in tow.

Three years ago, she landed a twobedroom duplex in north Littleton, after three years on a waiting list through South Metro Housing Options, which administers federally-funded, low-income housing in the Littleton area.

Chavez pays 30% of her income in rent, which has ranged from $800 a month when she moved in, to $78 a month during a recent bout of unemployment, and will soon rise when she starts her new job as a dental assistant.

It took a while for Chavez, who is raising her three kids on her own — ages 7, 5, and three months — to feel at home after so much roaming. Keeping her rent at a third of her income helps ensure a good life for her children amid Denver’s sky-high housing prices while she establishes herself in life, she said.

On the tree-lined cul de sac overlooking Powers Park, just blocks from her kids’ elementary school, Chavez hoped to stick it out for the long haul.

TLC Meals on Wheels moves into former Las Delicias Nonprofit that feeds elderly, homebound finds new home at abruptly-closed Mexican eatery

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

First, the good news: TLC Meals on Wheels has a new home.

TLC, a nonprofit that provides healthy meals, companionship and other services to seniors and homebound adults, finally landed a new headquarters, months after finding out they’d have to vacate the old Ames Elementary School in Centennial ahead of the building’s demolition.

The not-so-good news: Their new home is the former Las Delicias, Littleton’s beloved Mexican restaurant, which closed abruptly in early July.

Owner Roberto Torres did not respond to multiple requests for comment on the closure of the longtime favorite eatery at Broadway and Arapahoe Road, renowned for its chile rellenos and blue margaritas.

Though a sign in the window says “We’ve Moved,” the local chain with four other metro-area locations hasn’t opened any new branches.

Back to the good news: The restaurant space should make for a top-notch headquarters for years to come, said TLC Meals on Wheels executive director Diane McClymonds.

“There’s so much potential for us now that we’ll have our own space,”

said McClymonds. “It’s a nice big kitchen, and we’ll be able to add new programs down the line.”

TLC has been using the old cafeteria at Ames Elementary near Colorado Boulevard and Dry Creek Road, which closed to students 10 years ago and is slated to be demolished to make way for a new elementary school as part of a massive Littleton Public Schools bond project.

Though district officials originally believed they could find space elsewhere in the district for TLC, plans didn’t shake out, and TLC found out in late 2018 that they would have to be out by Christmas 2019.

The search for a new home was tricky, McClymonds said, because numerous criteria had to be met: the new location needed to be in the heart of TLC’s service area, which is predominantly Arapahoe County. The organization didn’t want to build an expensive and complicated kitchen from scratch in a warehouse, and many closed restaurants were too small for TLC’s volume.

A donor who asked to remain anonymous bought the Las Delicias building for TLC, McClymonds said. The donor paid just over $1 million for the building, according to county records.

The location has another benefit: its

high visibility at a busy intersection will bring TLC to the front of people’s minds, McClymonds said.

“I’m more excited to put our sign out front than anything,” McClymonds said.

TLC will start out by leasing the building from the anonymous buyer, McClymonds said, with plans to buy it outright for cash.

“As a nonprofit, we don’t want to have debt,” McClymonds said.

All told, TLC is hoping to raise $2 million to pay for the property and an extensive renovation project to retrofit the building for a fast-paced, high-volume operation of meal preparation.

TLC served 130,000 meals over the last fiscal year to more than 800 clients, McClymonds said, with the number only growing every year.

“People rely on us for nutritious food and a friendly face at the door,” McClymonds said.

A quiet fundraising campaign has already netted about 40% of their goal, McClymonds said, with the rest up to the general public.

“We want the fundraising behind us so we can focus on feeding people,” McClymonds said. “I think it’s our responsibility to give back and help those who helped build this community.”

Centennial Airport taking FAA to court over flight paths Airport argues Congress-mandated studies need to be completed

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After years of complaints and forewarning about a federal plan to reroute airplane traffic in the Denver metro area, Centennial Airport has filed legal action over how much care the government is taking to determine the impacts the plan could have.

“We just feel there are some pieces to the puzzle that are missing and very important not only to the airport, but to the communities,” said Deborah Grigsby Smith, Centennial Airport spokeswoman. “We stand very strongly with our neighbors, and we’d like to have a complete picture. We’d like to have it before Metroplex implementation — not after.”

The airport is taking the Federal Aviation Administration to court over the agency’s NextGen Denver Metroplex project, which aims to optimize arrival and departure at local airports. That includes Denver International Airport, Centennial Airport and some others. An FAA

study, called a draft environmental assessment, looked at impacts the project could have on noise, air quality, wildlife, and historic and cultural resources.

The proposed change in flight paths is expected to have “no significant impacts” on those aspects of the Denver metro area, according to the April 22 study.

That lack of potential effects means a more rigorous review, called an Environmental Impact Study, isn’t necessary before the plan is put into action, according to the FAA. That’s one of the determinations and actions by the FAA at issue in Centennial Airport’s legal action, which is a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In the June 19 legal filing, the Arapahoe County Public Airport Authority — the government body that oversees the airport — asked the court to review the FAA’s study, its determination that an EIS isn’t needed and its proposed changes in flight procedures.

When reached about the legal filing, agency spokesperson Allen Kenitzer said the FAA “does not comment on ongoing litigation.”

The filing also requested a look at whether the FAA can carry out the Metroplex plan before completing

studies required by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018, a law passed

by Congress.

The recent law requires the FAA to study the agency’s “community involvement” practices regarding NextGen Metroplex projects; the effect of aircraft noise on communities; the relationship between noise and health impacts such as sleep disturbance and elevated blood pressure, as well as the effect on businesses located under certain flight paths; and whether 65 decibels and up remains an acceptable FAA standard for significant noise exposure, according to a June 5 letter from the airport to the FAA. The airport’s executive director, Robert Olislagers, has said that the results of those studies could significantly impact the Metroplex project, as well as the FAA’s conclusion that it would cause no significant impacts to the metro area.

The airport has also argued that the FAA didn’t consider the impact of the part of flight that occurs below 3,000 feet above ground, and that leaves unclear how much communities could be affected.

Littleton, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Lone Tree, Castle Rock and other nearby cities could experience notable effects, Olislagers has said, although it is unclear how much.

The FAA contends that most

WHAT DOES METROPLEX CHANGE? Older methods to direct air traffic in and out of the metro area largely depend on navigational aids on the ground or radar by air traffic controllers, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Area navigation, or RNAV, can put pilots along more direct routes, generally through satellite technology. It requires less communication between air traffic control and pilots and makes for more efficient use of airspace, according to the agency. Implementing RNAV changes has been part of NextGen, a set of updates the FAA is making to airspace in the Denver area and around the nation.

The Metroplex plan is another part of the NextGen updates. It aims to make further changes with new flight paths for airports in metro areas like Denver. proposed flight paths in the Denver area closely follow what are being flown today.

Legal action has been initiated against the FAA regarding Metroplex implementations in Phoenix, as well as in the Los Angeles area and the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., region, according to the airport’s letter.

The D.C. appeals court in the Centennial Airport case set July 22 and Aug. 5 as dates when certain documents must be submitted in the case.

Federal and Bowles intersection faces slow road to upgrades Projects still in the works nearly two years after funding vote

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

No new safety improvements have been implemented at the intersection of Federal Boulevard and Bowles Avenue, nearly two years after voters approved more than a half-million gdollars in funding to upgrade the crossing.

That’s not for lack of effort, say city engineers, who have been pursuing additional grants and hope to put a project out to bid before the end of n 2019.

The lack of movement on the project is frustrating, said Littleton Mayor Debbie Brinkman.

“That intersection is a problem and it always has been,” Brinkman said.

“We continue to get complaints from the community about it.”

The intersection has the most accidents of any crossing in Littleton that doesn’t involve Santa Fe Drive, said Public Works Director Keith Reester in a recent report to city council. The intersection sees 46,000 cars daily, Reester said, and has seen 108 accidents in the last five years, including three involving pedestrians or bicyclists.

Voters in 2017 approved a measure that allowed the city to keep nearly $2 million in revenue in excess of a cap imposed by the Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights, or TABOR. Nearly threequarters of the money went to paving projects around the city, but $545,000 was earmarked to improve Bowles and Federal.

More than $476,000 remains in that fund, said Finance Director Tiffany Hooten at the July 9 city council meeting.

The city sought extensive public feedback on how to improve the intersection in the months following the vote, said City Manager Mark Relph, and found that the public primarily wanted a large-scale fix that included either a pedestrian flyover bridge or a tunnel beneath the roadway.

City staff came up with plans that would build a bridge or tunnel, as well as shift the intersection to meet at a right angle rather than the current slight diagonal.

The price tag for such a project, however, came it at more than $4 million, said city traffic engineer Aaron Heumann, in part because it would involve major drainage changes, including eliminating a retention pond at the intersection’s northeast corner.

Staff decided to pursue a state grant that would cover the whole cost, Heumann said, but in March found out the project was passed over for others elsewhere in the state.

Swimming pools. Lots of places are synonymous with summertime, but in Littleton there’s another spot on the list: concerts on the lawn at the Littleton Museum.

On July 10, the Delta Sonics drew in concertgoers by the hundreds, who grooved to the band’s Chicago blues, New Orleans R&B and West Coast swing stylings.

“These guys are incredible,” said Shirley Jackson, sitting with her husband, Jim. The couple has been coming to museum concerts for years, Shirley said.

“It’s a cheap date,” she said.

Protests converge outside immigrant detention facility Two groups with different approaches condemn U.S. policy

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A Mexican flag flew over Aurora’s immigrant detention facility the evening of July 12, as two very different protests converged to condemn American immigration policy.

Hundreds of protesters, organized by a group called “Lights for Liberty” that arranged protests in cities around Colorado and the nation, stood along Oakland Street in north Aurora outside the detention center run by GEO Group Inc. The private facility holds immigrants for processing by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. The facility has come under fire in recent months amid disease outbreaks and allegations of poor conditions.

U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, an Aurora Democrat who represents Colorado’s 6th Congressional District, recently announced plans to conduct weekly inspections of the facility.

The Lights for Liberty group stood behind a barricade at the end of a small bridge across from the facility, hearing speeches from activists and organizers who condemned

immigrant detention facilities on the southern U.S. border, and policies that separate the children of asylum seekers from their parents.

The group drew a broad range of participants, including church groups, parents with young children and seniors.

Nadia Singh, of Denver, who said she is the daughter of Guyanese immigrants, said she attended to spread a message of love and peace.

“My parents came here to give me a better life,” Singh said. “I know in my

heart that everyone in that facility is here for the same reason: to seek a better life. People are equals, regardless of their immigration status, and we should treat them the way we would want to be treated ourselves.”

Meanwhile, another group called the March to Close the Concentration Camps pushed past the barricade and took down the American flag, Colorado state flag and GEO Group flag in front of the facility.

In their place, the protesters raised a Mexican flag, an upside-down Blue

ccording to author Wade Pfau, Ph.D., CFA in an article in Retirement Researcher, financial planning research has shown that coordinated use of a reverse mortgage starting earlier in retirement outperforms waiting to open a reverse mortgage as a last resort option once all else has failed.

Reverse mortgages Kathy Muni have transitioned from a last resort to a retirement income tool that can be incorporated as part of an overall efficient retirement income plan. Two benefits give opening a reverse mortgage earlier in retirement the potential to improve retirement outcomes, even after accounting for loan costs.

Reverse mortgages can help sidestep this risk by providing an alternative source of retirement spending after market declines, creating more opportunity for the portfolio to recover.

The second potential benefit of opening the reverse mortgage early—especially when interest rates are low—is that the principal limit (the overall eligible amount consisting of any loan balance and remaining line of credit) that you can borrow from will continue to grow throughout retirement.

Centennial council approves camping ban unanimously Residents, advocates for homeless push for, against ban at hearing

Where will ban apply?

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The reasons why or why not to ban homeless camping on city-owned property added up to a conversation the Centennial City Council barely wanted to have.

Nearly a dozen activists, residents and other concerned locals vented differing pleas — to help the homeless, and to keep the homeless away from their neighborhoods — at the council’s July 8 meeting in a rare show of division among a Centennial council audience.

But the councilmembers themselves provided no debate and nearly no expression of qualms or praise for the proposal they passed unanimously.

PROTESTS FROM PAGE 7

Rumors swirled through the crowd that police had issued a dispersal order and were massing nearby to arrest protesters, though the Aurora Police Department said via Twitter that no such order had been given.

Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz addressed his department’s approach in a statement on social media.

“There are those who believe that once the flags were removed and burned we should have moved in on the massive crowd,” he wrote, in part. “I completely share those sentiments, but it’s also important that we are strategic in doing what we can to not escalate a situation to where our officers and innocent protestors could get hurt.”

Metz said police would be reviewing “any available video in order to

identify and pursue prosecution of those involved in criminal behavior.”

By 9 p.m. many members of the group at the entrance of the facility had departed, leaving the Lights for Liberty group to hold its planned candlelight and flashlight vigil for immigrant detainee rights.

An organizer lamented the actions of the group that crossed the barricade, saying their actions forced many protest participants whose immigration status is in question to flee for fear of arrest.

Thomas Lopez Jr., an organizer and activist with the International Indigenous Youth Council, said he hoped the protest was only the beginning.

“It’s really good to see our community here,” Lopez said. “I hope we can keep this energy up and focus it on something positive.

Whatever people choose to do, I hope it’s non-violent and with drive and intention.”

VOICES

Well, as it turns out, there is an ‘I’ in team

here’s only one of me (you’ll be happy to know), but from now on I want to be thought of as Team Craig.

Calling yourself or yourselves a team is the latest and the greatest, and I don’t want to be left out.

My dentist and her hygienists are a team.

My car is repaired by a team.

A team made my pizza last week, and a team will check my eyesight when I have my annual exam.

There’s a home improvements and repairs outfit that calls itself a team.

When a word becomes a movement, I want to ride it until I get saddle sores.

If I had to stretch things, I could say my echo and my shadow are Team

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

Craig teammates.

Maybe you remember the Ink Spots and their great song, “We Three.”

This (for once) is a true story. When I gave my students a weekend ink drawing project, I told them to listen to the Ink Spots.

One kid thought I meant I wanted them to listen to the ink spots, and he was

serious.

There are, in fact, teams. Every high school and college in the State of Colorado has a number of teams,

and they compete against teams from other schools and states.

I have a harder time thinking of a guy wearing grease for an aftershave and leaning into the engine of my car to adjust the carburetor as a member of a team. But it sounds good.

I know some writers have ghost writers and editors and research people, but at Team Craig it’s really just Craig.

Unless you count Harry.

And why not? He inspires a number of columns each year, and he’s practically a dependent.

If you are a dog owner, you know what I mean. His veterinarian bills alone? Get out of here.

In her own way (discretion will limit

details), Jennifer plays for Team Craig too.

But at the end of the day, the bottom line (to frolic in the gruel of two wornout phrases) shows that Team Craig is comprised of one team member, who taps away with the heartfelt belief, “Everything we do is all about you.”

That’s the actual wording on a local team’s monthly newsletter.

And it brings with its treacle another word that is making the rounds.

“About.”

Check it out, brothers and sisters, and count the number of times in a day you read or hear that something is “about” something, as in it’s “all about you.”

Mid-year outlook as expansion sets length record

ere we are, just six months away from the beginning of the next decade. Just the year 2020 sounds like something from outer space. Oh well, it’s just a number. The bigger question is how to plan for it and what to expect.

While no one can predict the future, it helps to understand where we are in the present. The big headlines overseas for the first half of this year centered around China, Iran and Brexit. Stateside, the news was all about the Federal Reserve. This brings me to the obvious points that make this cycle unlike any other: the longest and most global.

This current economic cycle is now the longest U.S. expansion in history, pushing on the 11th year.* I believe that the length comes from the very slow growth both here and abroad that have seemed inherent in this cycle. Being part of the global economy means it can be difficult for one country to grow at a significant pace if other countries are lagging.

Tom Ziglar, in his book “Choose to Win,” talks about the importance of having a “why,” understanding our “why,” and having our internal compass aligned with our true north.

So, as we enjoy our summer, put our feet up a little bit, drift off for a few minutes, hours, or days, let’s keep our “why” in front of us, our plans and goals visible, and make sure we do not fall too far behind on where it is we really want to be.

It’s a word of equivocation between the point being made and the punch line.

“This column is all about the sarcasm.”

I could never write that sentence without the quotation marks.

Or this: “In our hotel, it’s all about clean sheets.”

For what it’s worth (Buffalo Springfield, 1967), I believe in getting it said,

with a shift in Fed policy, from rate increases to potential rate cuts. This can be construed as the economy not doing as well or as an opportunity to refinance debt (such as a mortgage) at a lower rate. The Patricia Kummer likely policy shift could add a fair amount of volatility to the financial markets depending on what else is going on in the world at the same time.

The base case for the second half of this year is that Real GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth is slowing on a global scale but we expect soft landing levels around the 2% to 3% range. The Fed will likely cut interest rates and there will hopefully be a trade deal with China.

The major unknowns remain China and the tariff talks and the Fed’s course reversal to easing.

Recent Wall Street chatter is that these two scenarios appear to be

I think about what I can do differently or better, what I should do more of or do less of, and what I might start doing or stop doing that would be helpful to reaching my ultimate goals and achieving my dreams.

So how about you? Are you enjoying a few lazy days of summer? Maybe some crazy days of summer? Whichever one it may be, and maybe a little of both, I would love to hear how you are staying focused on your goals and dreams at gotonorton@gmail.com.

with honesty and decency.

But, you know, there’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear. But I will say this: It’s harder to take it out on a team than it is to take it out on one sarcastic journalist.

When the time comes and you want to lower the boom on me, you will just have to see if you can find someone at Team Craig who is willing to listen.

priced into the markets, which has resulted in a healthy run so far this year. Therefore, if the United States is unable to reach a reasonable trade agreement with China around lowering tariffs, or if the Fed does not cut rates, then we could see weakness in the equity markets.

If everything falls into place, and there are no surprises (such as potential conflict with Iran) then our longest running bull market may continue a bit longer. Investors should expect continued volatility around the Fed, China and Iran, as well as a slowing of GDP output.

We may very well still be dealing with some of these issues when 2020 rolls in, and with it, an election year.

Phamaly brings ‘Chicago’ to Denver Center

S

A GoPro captures a picture of David Hach, in the back, co-owner of Paraglide Tandem, as he and a passenger soar over Golden on a recent flight. Some people go tandem paragliding to cross something off a bucket list and some do it to get over a fear of heights, Hach said, but a flight also tends to be a popular birthday gift.

COURTESY OF PARAGLIDE TANDEM

Opportunities abound to enjoy the great outdoors off the ground

oloradans are known for their love of outdoor adventures.

Traditionally, these activities take place on solid ground.

However, the Denver metro area also offers plenty of high-adrenaline experiences that get participants off the ground and into the air.

Soaring above Golden Paragliding is kind of like sitting in a lawn chair in the sky, said David Hach, co-owner of Paraglide Tandem, a Golden-based company that serves Colorado residents and tourists.

“It really feels like we’re flying like a bird,” Hach said. “And the views are amazing.”

Paraglide Tandem started in 2013 and today, the Paraglide Tandem team is made up of eight instructors, all certified by the United States Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association as tandem pilots.

The experience lasts about two hours, Hach said. The instructor will meet the client at about 10 a.m. — Paraglide Tandem flies in the morning when there’s no turbulence, Hach

said — in the parking area at the base of Mount Zion, which is near the Chimney Gulch Trailhead off U.S. 6 in Golden. From the parking lot, the two take a five-to-10-minute walk to the launch site, which is near the Colorado School of Mines’ M on Mount Zion.

“Then we sit back, relax and watch the weather for a bit,” Hach said.

The instructor will then get the client geared up and they’ll do a practice launch. Then, the two step into the 42-square-meter glider — the guest in front and the pilot in the back.

“We wait for a nice gust of wind, and then we launch,” Hach said, adding there’s no free-fall involved. “We’ll soar around for as long as we can.

And if they want, we’ll do tricks.”

Generally, a flight will last about five to 15 minutes, depending on conditions, Hach said.

“I love the reaction that everybody has,” he said. “They’re always surprised how smooth and mellow it is.”

Paragliding is a “risky sport,” Hach said, but Paraglide Tandem instructors are well-versed in the sport and they will only take people out “when conditions are perfect for a safe flight.”

Hach went paragliding for the first time on his fifth birthday in 1993.

“I’ve been hooked ever since,” he said. “It’s my passion and it’s fun to be able to share it with people.”

Temporary art program a ‘win-win’ South Suburban-featured artists talk benefits of display

Kim Kaminski, a Littleton artist, touches the top of her sculpture, “The Gift,” July 8 in front of Goodson Recreation Center. The bronze work represents the “human journey of being full, open and giving,” according to its description on South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s website.

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Over the years, Kim Kaminski raised her kids in South Suburban Parks and Recreation’s programs — swim lessons, archery, tennis activities — at places like Goodson Recreation Center in Centennial.

Now, she proudly looks upon her art in front of that building as part of South Suburban’s Art-on-Loan program, which features sculptures nin a one-year temporary display at Goodson.

And although 70-year-old Wayne Bachus lives in Denver, he called it a “tremendous honor” to have his art featured.

“The beauty of the lending program is it gives the community the ability to see art without having to pay for it,” Bachus said. “We get exposure. It’s a win-win for everybody.”

The sculptures are for sale, and South Suburban receives a 20% commission when they are purchased.

But beyond the financial benefits, the partnership gives artists like Kaminski the chance to deepen their roots in the community.

The Littleton resident, who would bike down the High Line Canal Trail near Goodson in Centennial with her children, has had a one-woman show at the Littleton Museum and was commissioned by that city to create bike racks on Main Street that reflect Littleton’s past and future, she said.

Today, she gets to share her messages with visitors to the rec center in Centennial with a bronze sculpture entitled “The Gift,” which depicts a person with a basket filled with gold hearts atop its head.

“It’s about giving and receiving,” Kaminski, 48, said of the figure, which wears an open cloak along with the basket. “I choose to put something in that vessel, which is love, which we can give endlessly and receive endlessly.”

Bachus, on the other hand, gets to share his love of kinetic sculptures — those that move — after a late-in-life turn to sculpture roughly a decade ago.

A peek into opioid users’ brains as they try to quit Scientists turn to scanning in bid to find whether medications help beat addiction

BY LAURAN NEERGAARD ASSOCIATED PRESS

Lying inside a scanner, the patient watched as pictures appeared one by one: A bicycle. A cupcake. Heroin.

Outside, researchers tracked her brain’s reactions to the surprise sight of the drug she’d fought to kick.

Government scientists are starting to peek into the brains of people caught in the nation’s opioid epidemic, to see if medicines proven to treat addiction, like methadone, do more than ease the cravings and withdrawal. Do they also heal a brain damaged by addiction? And which one works best for which patient?

They’re fundamental questions considering that far too few of the 2 million opioid users who need antiaddiction medicine actually receive it.

One reason: “People say you’re just changing one drug for another,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse,

who is leading that first-of-its-kind study. “The brain responds differently to these medications than to heroin. It’s not the same.”

Science has made clear that three medicines — methadone, buprenorphine and extended-release naltrexone — can effectively treat what specialists prefer to call opioid use disorder. Patients who stick with methadone or buprenorphine in particular cut their chances of death in half, according to a report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine that explored how to overcome barriers to that care.

Opioid addiction changes the brain in ways that even when people quit can leave them vulnerable to relapse, changes that researchers believe lessen with long-term abstinence.

Volkow’s theory: Medicationbased treatment will help those damaged neural networks start getting back to normal faster than going it alone. To prove it, she’ll need to compare brain scans from study participants like the woman who quit heroin thanks to methadone with active heroin users and people who are in earlier stages of treatment.

“Can we completely recover? I do not know that,” Volkow said.

But with the medications, “you’re creating stability” in the brain, she said. And that helps recondition it

to respond to everyday pleasures again.

The challenge now is finding enough people willing, and healthy enough, to have their brains scanned for science at the same time they’re struggling to quit.

Addiction is a brain disease, “not a choice, not a personality flaw, not a moral failing,” said Dr. Jody Glance, an addiction specialist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, who hopes NIDA’s brain scans will help overcome some of the barriers and improve the public health response to the opioid crisis.

Not offering the medicines to someone who needs them “is like not offering insulin to someone with diabetes,” she said.

How opioids change the brain When you sense something pleasurable — a special song, the touch of a loved one, a food like Volkow’s favorite chocolate — the brain releases a natural chemical called dopamine that essentially trains the body to remember, “I liked that, let’s do it again.”

That’s the brain’s reward system, and opioids can hijack it by triggering a surge of dopamine larger than nature ever could. Repeated opioid use overloads circuits in multiple brain regions, including those involved with learning and memory, emotion, judgment and self-control. At the same time, the brain gradually releases less dopamine in response to other things the person once found pleasurable. Eventually they seek more of the drug not to get high, but to avoid constantly feeling low.

Testing how addiction medicine helps Volkow aims to test 80 people, a mix of untreated heroin users and patients using different medication-based treatments, inside brain scanners at the National Institutes

of Health’s research hospital. Her team is measuring differences in the brain’s ability to release dopamine as treatment progresses, and how the functioning of other neural networks changes in response as study participants do various tasks.

For example, does a patient’s brain remain fixated on “cues” related to drug use — like seeing a picture of heroin — or start reacting again to normal stimuli like the sight of a cupcake?

Another test: Ask if a patient would take an offer of $50 now, or $100 if they could wait a week, checking how much motivation and self-control they can muster.

“You need to be able to inhibit the urge to get something” to recover, Volkow noted. “We take for granted that people think about the future.

Not when you’re addicted.”

Like in any disease, each medication may work better in certain people — because not everyone’s brain circuitry reacts exactly the same way to opioid abuse — but that hasn’t been studied. Volkow suspects buprenorphine will improve mood and emotional responses to addiction better than methadone, for instance, because of subtle differences in how each medicine works. She especially wants to test people who relapse, to try to spot any treatment differences.

Methadone and buprenorphine are weak opioids, the reason for the misperception that they substitute one addiction for another. In slightly different ways, they stimulate the dopamine system more mildly than other opioids, leveling out the jolts so there’s no high and less craving. People may use them for years.

Naltrexone, in contrast, blocks any opioid effects.

Kaleidoscope spans variety of works from area artists Juried show is annual community exhibit held in college gallery

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Straight ahead to the right as a visitor walks into Kaleidoscope: A Juried Community Exhibition at the Colorado Gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College is the winning entry: “The Human Condition” by Pam Schmidt — a life-sized mannikin, covered with precisely stitchedtogether, highly polished pieces of brown leather. The browns vary a bit in hue, but the overall effect is stylish and surprising — perhaps suggestive of a quilter’s pattern. As a coating for a woman’s figure, the craftsmanship is impressive and makes one contemplate a story — or message.

Just to the left of Schmidt’s piece hangs Forest Plesko’s “Street Art,” a striking photo of manhole covers that also suggested quilts to this viewer.

(Thoughtful installation.) It won an Honorable Mention.

The annual community exhibit was started a number of years ago by a group of community artists, and has grown under the support of ACC gallery director Trish Sangelo, offering a pleasing collection of artworks in a

This year’s juror was Mary Williams, a Castle Rock artist and gallery owner.

In the fiber arts realm are a couple of works in felted wool and silk by Gayla Ruckhaus: “Prickly Pear” and “Mulholland Trail.” Interesting textures lead one to developing itchy fingers — wanting to touch! They are akin to metal or wood relief sculptures, with a third dimension.

Second Place choice by Williams is Michelle Lamb’s intricate assemblage, “Cygnus,” displayed on a pedestal with other pieces of her mixed-media work. The swan-like piece is made of a remarkable assortment of objects, rescued from old typewriters and other mechanical items. (Lamb’s studio is an amazing spot.)

“The Human Condition” on the right, is the First Place winner in the 2019 Kaleidosope Exhibition in the Colorado gallery of the Arts at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. The show runs through Aug. 2.

PHOTO BY TRISH SANGELO exists these days, but was once an issue. Schmale also has conventional ceramic pieces, exhibited on pedestals in the center of the gallery.

Gallery walls offer framed works that include a range of paintings and drawings, including the Honorable Mention mixed-media landscape “History,” by longtime area teacher and painter Bobbi Shupe. The subject is a weathered old farm, skillfully executed in subdued colors.

Carol Broere’s Raku ceramic works are displayed on the wall: “Tree of

Life” is a sculptural piece with the earthy metallic sheen that is achieved with Raku firing. Held together in it are a tree and a collection of small birds. You can almost hear them twittering.

Another Honorable Mention was awarded to Daren Gilbert’s oil painting, “Puako # 110 1/2,” which illustrates yet another way to project one’s thinking …

Gail Firmin’s watercolor, “Girasole,” also has an Honorable Mention ribbon.

AIRBORNE

A crowd enjoys Castle Rock Adventure Park’s newest attraction, the 50-foot high Sky Trek, which features 120 different obstacles.

FROM PAGE 14

Get a rush on ropes course Compared to other experiences that get people off the ground, the ropes course at Adventure Golf & Raceway in Westminster is a safe way to challenge your physical abilities, while still getting that adrenaline rush.

“People enjoy the controlled environment,” said Allen Brown, the managing director of Adventure Golf & Raceway. The ropes course “gives them a way to get that rush without the potential to get hurt.”

The Adventure Ropes Course is a two-level course that offers 25 different challenges with varying degrees of difficulty. Perched above a giant maze made of constructed walls, the first level of the ropes course is about 10 or 12 feet off the ground, Brown said, and the second level is about 20 feet off the ground.

Challenges range from walking across tires to navigating a slackline.

People are harnessed in, and once on the course, they choose their own path, Brown said.

“People tend to be really nervous when they first try it,” Brown said.

“But then, we see that they gain confidence and start to enjoy the interaction with the device. And then there’s some people who don’t want to come down.”

It takes about 30 minutes for a person doing it for the first time to complete the beginner challenges, Brown said.

The ropes course was originally at the former Heritage Square site — a tourist attraction near Golden that has since closed — and was installed at Adventure Golf & Raceway in 2016.

All sorts of people have enjoyed it since then, Brown said, including individuals who want to challenge themselves, families who want bonding time and groups for team building.

“The ropes course (and its challenges) pushes people to do things they’re not comfortable with at first,” Brown said. But in the end, “they enjoy trying something they haven’t done before.”

Go on an adventure Located within Philip S. Miller Park, Castle Rock Adventure Park offers three main activities — a zipline tour, the Epic Adventure Tower and the Sky Trek.

Each has a different draw, said Adam White, general manager of Castle Rock Adventure Park, but all of them will get your heart pumping.

“They’re different than anything else you can find,” White said. “And you get great views, with essentially no obstructions because you’re so high up.”

The Sky Trek is Castle Rock Adventure Park’s newest attraction. It features four levels — the top is 50 feet off the ground — and 120 different obstacles. The Sky Trek’s Ninja Warrior Experience features a course similar to NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” TV series, White said.

The Epic Adventure Tower is “the destination for your adrenaline junkie,” White said.

Among other features, it includes a 42-foot climbing wall, four rappelling stations and three different platforms, including the 75-foot Eagles Nest, which offers a harnessed freefall.

The Castle Rock Adventure Park opened in 2015 with the zipline tour.

The zipline tour provides an adrenaline experience that’s not too overwhelming, White said, but “it’s still a lot of fun flying through the air.”

People enjoy different kinds of outdoor adventures that gives them a break from their normal, daily routines, White said.

HOUSING FROM PAGE 1

“We’ve felt so lucky to be here,” said Chavez, bouncing her baby daughter Serenity on her knee. “It feels so much safer than everywhere else we’ve been.”

But Chavez and her kids may soon find themselves moving again.

SMHO is looking to sell off or demolish its 71 single-family and duplex homes, which are scattered around Littleton and represent about half of its portfolio of public housing.

Chavez’s duplex is one of 12 units that may be torn down to make way for a large multifamily, low-income housing complex in coming years.

SMHO, which also administers hundreds of Section 8 housing vouchers that cover most of recipients’ rent, is increasingly struggling to keep up with its “scattered-site” housing in the face of fluctuating and dwindling federal funds, said executive director Corey Reitz.

“They’re older units,” Reitz said.

“The upkeep on them is challenging.

That will only continue, and keeping them up-to-date is difficult. We’ve been talking about this for a while.”

Moving away SMHO is planning to ask the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development for permission to divest itself of the scattered site housing, under a recently streamlined process called Section 18.

If HUD accepts SMHO’s application, which could happen as early as October, SMHO would begin working with residents on a months-long move-out process before selling or demolishing the homes. Families with children in school would be allowed to finish the school year, Reitz said.

Residents of the 71 homes would be given moving assistance and Tenant Protection Vouchers, which are effectively identical to Section 8 vouchers and can be used anywhere in the country, Reitz said. Residents who meet certain criteria — and whose houses aren’t slated to be demolished — could be eligible to buy their homes from SMHO, which Reitz called the “bestcase scenario.”

Though many of the plan’s details are far from hammered out, Reitz said many of the homes could become deedrestricted properties, meaning they could only be sold for below market value going forward, giving a foothold to young families hoping to buy into an increasingly unaffordable suburb.

The proceeds from the sales would go into a fund to acquire, develop or

“Nobody had to be the wiser” that their neighbors were in federallyowned housing, Goetz said.

The flip side is that the homes are more expensive to maintain, because of non-standard components like doors and windows and because of the added travel time for maintenance crews between units, Goetz said.

Though the White House’s current budget proposal calls for deep cuts to public housing, each of the last several presidential administrations have sought cuts, Goetz said.

Section 8 funds, however, tend to be far more stable, Goetz said, though the outcomes for residents transitioning to 10:00am- 6:30pm Section 8 from public housing can be spottier.

“In some places, it’s tough to find landlords that will accept Section 8, or to find units that are well-maintained,” Goetz said.

Best of the Best winner: Health practice aims for life improvements Physical Therapy Specialists is located in Centennial

Anderson and Mara Towne, step in and make a difference. In opening the clinic, Sandalcidi says the focus isn’t on the pain, but on restoring the patient’s function and improving their quality of life.

BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

D History Physical Therapy Specialists began in 1989 with a unique vision. Times were changing and managed care N was taking over, which affected the quality and quantity of time that physical therapists were able to spend with patients. It became apparent that patients deserve more than insurance R companies could allow. Specializing O and focusing on the individual needs of each patient in a private environment was the best way to combat this.

The goal of PTS was, and continues to be, to treat patients based on their C individual needs, in a one-on-one private setting to enable each patient C to return to the activities that are important in their daily lives.

Editor’s note: A version of this story originally ran in the recent Best of the Best publication.

Location Physical Therapy Specialists is located at 7853 E Arapahoe Court, Suite 1400 in Centennial. Make an appointment by calling 303-740-2026, or visit the website at www.ptspecialist.com.

What we do The physical therapists at Physical Therapy Specialists listen to what their patients tell them and tailor their treatment to get patients back to what matters most in their individual lives. The therapists guide patients through their healing process with the goal of helping them to recover and teaching them how to sustain good health on their own.

Dawn Sandalcidi, owner of Physical Therapy Specialists (PTS), says PTS has become the clinic people go to after they have tried everything else — but she is hopeful that patients will come to PTS first.

Music festival benefits Habitat for Humanity Proceeds go toward helping perform critical home repairs in Denver neighborhoods STAFF REPORT

The upcoming Blues and BBQ for Better Housing music festival will help provide critical repairs on homes in Denver’s Westwood, Globeville and Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods.

The longest-running continual fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, the 22nd annual festival has raised more than $250,000 to renovate and build homes since it was started in a small bar near Coors Field in 1998.

The day-long tribute festival, which is Saturday, July 20 at Citizens Park, will feature nine bands performing the music of Aretha Franklin, Journey, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Bob Seger, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Allman Brothers, The Who and the music of Chess Records. There will be food trucks, a beer garden, retail vendors, face painting and a kids’ zone play area with inflatable bounce houses and games.

“Helping hard-working families is awesome,” Ranger Miller, founder of

Blues and BBQ, said in a news release.

“It’s so cool when you go out and work with Habitat for the day. They don’t do the work for you, they teach you how to do it and you do it, you fix-up a house working right next to the person who lives there. It really makes you feel like you’ve made a difference.”

Robyn Burns, the director of communications and marketing for Habitat Denver, said that the 20-plus-year partnership with Blues and BBQ is something the organization is thankful for.

“Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver has been building and preserving affordable home ownership for 40 years, and we couldn’t make the impact that we do without support from our local community,” Burns said in the release.

All-day entry passes are $10 for adults and free for children under 12.

Tickets will be sold at the door and can be purchased in advance at www. bluesnbbq.com.

Habitat Denver has been helping families achieve the dream of affordable home ownership in the Denver area since 1979. Details about the Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver Critical Home Repair Program can be found at www.habitatmetrodenver.org/our-programs/critical-homerepair-program.

SPORTS

Coloradans add kick to history of women’s soccer olorado soccer players have played a role in FIFA Women’s World Cup soccer tournaments from the very begin-

ning.

In the recently completed 2019 World Cup in France, former Mountain Vista player Mallory Pugh and Lindsey Horan, who went to Golden High School, were on the victorious OVERTIME United States team that won its second consecutive World Cup crown.

Two other Colorado products were on teams in this year’s tournament. Valor Christian graduate Janine Beckie Jim Benton played for Canada and Rocky Mountain graduate Estelle Johnson was on the Cameroon squad.

Marian Dougherty, a member of Green Mountain’s 2003 state championship team, was on the USA team that came in third in the 2007 World Cup. April Heinrichs was the first former Colorado high school standout to play in the Women’s World Cup. The 1982 Heritage graduate and two-time NCAA Player of the Year

at North Carolina was captain of the USA team in 1991, which won the first Women’s World Cup. However, at the time, it was sponsored by Mars Inc. and called the first FIFA World Championships for Women’s Football for the M&M Cup. Later the reluctant FIFA changed to name to the Women’s World Cup. All matches lasted 80 minutes and the Americans edged Norway, 2-1, in the championship finale.

Heinrichs later was the head coach of the Women’s National Team from 2000-04 and led the Americans to the Olympic gold medal in 2004. Her career with the U.S. WNT as a player, coach and administration ended last year when she left her position as Youth Women’s National Team Director.

She was in Europe and could not be reached for comment but in a press release from the U.S. Soccer Federation, the National Soccer Hall of Famer said it was difficult to step away.

“To this day, every time our National Anthem is played, I get goosebumps, triggering those game day emotions knowing it’s time to perform,” she said.

“Game day with the National Team is unlike any other day. Those are the best days no matter your role when it’s time to rise in the pressure cooker and

represent the USA.” Expanded playoffs New football league alignments for the 2020 and 2021 seasons have been approved by the Colorado High School Activities Association’s Board of Directors but these league setups were not as drastic of a change as when the waterfall format was ratified a few years ago.

The bigger news was that 4A football will expand its playoff bracket from 18 to 24 teams starting in 2020.

Class 5A currently has a 24-team playoff bracket and the 4A playoffs will operate in the same way, with the top eight seeds getting a bye and with seeds 9-24 playing first-round games.

Westminster will play in the 5A Metro 10 League for the 2019 season with a new head coach in Dayne Allbrandt.

Allbrandt has been a Westminster football coach for the past seven seasons and head junior varsity coach the last four campaigns. He has also been the head boys and girls track coach for four seasons.

For 2020 and 2021 the Wolves will be aligned in the Metro 1 league with Adams City, Boulder, Fort Collins, Mountain Range and Northglenn.

Tee it high Kaylee Chen, a 15-year-old soph-

omore-to-be at Cherry Creek High School, built up a big lead and won the girls title at the Colorado Junior Amateur Championships at Frost Creek in Eagle on July 10.

Chen had a six-shot lead going into the final round of the 54-hole tournament and despite a 6-over-par 78 during the third round she won by two shots. Chen carded 74 and 72 during the first two days and finished with a 224 total.

Defending champion Katie Berrian, a Castle Rock resident and senior at Regis Jesuit, had a final round of 3-under-par 69 to tie for second place at 226 (78, 79, 69). Ashley Kozlowski, who will be a senior at Rock Canyon, also finished at 226 (79, 74, 73).

• The Girls Junior America’s Cup will be played July 29 to Aug. 1 in Murrieta, California and Northglenn’s Aubri Braecklein has been selected as one of the competitors on Colorado’s four-golfer team.

Braecklein, who tied for second in the 3A state golf championships for Jefferson Academy, has also qualified for the IMG Academy Junior World Championships next month and the Optimist Junior Golf Championships.

BAN FROM PAGE 10

“This ordinance is about protecting the safety of our citizens — period,” Councilmember Kathy Turley said in what amounted to the only opinion publicly expressed by the nine-member council about the ban.

After a small number of campsites caught the city’s attention amid the suburban Denver metro area’s ongoing homelessness issue, the council began considering a ban that opponents said doesn’t address the underlying issues that lead people to sleep outside.

“I currently work a full-time job making $17.25 an hour, and I can’t afford the rent for a one-bedroom in this city,” Chris Davis, a 26-year-old who grew up in Centennial, said during the public hearing before the council’s vote at the meeting.

Average rent for an apartment in Centennial is $1,600, according to RentCafe.com, a site that tracks real estate trends. Median rent for a onebedroom apartment in Denver is about $1,100, and in nearby Aurora, it’s $1,300, according to ApartmentList. com, a similar site.

Kristin Mallory, chair of the Arapahoe County Democratic Party, argued that Denver’s 2012 camping ban is a “failed policy” that pushed people experiencing homelessness into places such as Aurora and Centennial. A few speakers before her, Centennial resident Nick Swanson asked, “How can

we consciously penalize people trying to survive if we as the government are not offering them alternatives?”

“Sleeping outside is often a last choice,” Swanson told the council.

Voicing concerns about safety, about half the speakers supported the ban.

Among them was Centennial resident Karen Shaw, who said an encampment of tents and three bicycles sat near her home along East County Line Road. Another supporter said she helps the homeless but doesn’t think allowing camping is the answer.

“I think that (others are) calling this ‘criminalizing homelessness,’ and I think that’s making us look like bad guys because we don’t want us to have this mess around us and feel unsafe,” Pat Benhmida said.

Others compared an encampment to a “bicycle junk yard,” with one man saying he doesn’t want the city to become like an “Arapahoe County dump” that once sat in the area. One woman said she saw syringes near an encampment in Centennial in the past.

Opponents of the ban claimed it could open the city up to lawsuits, and they also took issue with the possibility of a $2,650 fine for camping. But that’s the city’s maximum — an $80 fine would be more common, said Bob Widner, city attorney. Under the camping ban ordinance, a person can’t receive a ticket before an officer notifies them that their camping is illegal — they’d be told to “move along” first, Widner added.

Glenn Thompson, public safety bureau chief for the Arapahoe County

Sheriff ’s Office — which serves as Centennial’s police force — said the enforcement is a “last resort.”

“Really, what this allows us to do is to approach folks on public property that may need resources, check on them and direct them to the proper resources they need,” Thompson said.

In those situations, deputies can refer a person to county, state or faithbased resources based on needs for housing, food assistance or substanceuse counseling, for example, Thompson added via email.

To the sheriff ’s office’s knowledge, Centennial and nearby unincorporated Arapahoe County areas don’t have homeless shelters, Thompson said. Most of the metro area’s shelter locations are in Denver.

‘Proactive’ approach Following reports of small camps in the city’s rights-of-way this year, city staff turned their attention to the issue of camping on city-owned property. Centennial has not seen “large encampments to-date,” but a city staff memorandum said such camping “poses potential significant impacts to the citizens and to the city’s ability to reserve city property for its primary purposes.”

The sheriff ’s office was recently made aware of camps along East County Line Road between South Broadway and South Clarkson Street, the High Line Canal also between those two streets, and near East Dry Creek Road and South Colorado Boulevard.

Reports of camping at those loca-

tions came in late spring, Thompson said. Centennial has seen a few reports of camping before from time to time, said Allison Wittern, city spokesperson.

The sheriff ’s office hasn’t noticed an increase in reports of camping in 2019 compared to recent years across its entire service region — including Centennial and nearby unincorporated county areas — according to Special Operations Capt. Kenneth McKlem.

Centennial considered the ban in an effort to be proactive in case camping on city-owned property becomes more prevalent, Wittern said.

Unknown effects of ban Centennial has not communicated with surrounding cities on what the potential effects of a Centennial camping ban would be for them, Wittern said in June.

Advocacy groups for the homeless have said Denver’s 2012 camping ban pushes homeless individuals to nearby suburbs. When asked if Centennial expects that its ban would have that effect on surrounding cities, Wittern said, “The city has no comment on this and does not want to speculate.”

Denver, Colorado Springs and Boulder prohibit camping on public property, according to the Centennial staff report. Parker approved a camping ban in June 2018.

During Denver’s municipal election in May, voters considered Initiative 300, which would have overturned the city’s camping ban. Known as “Right to Survive,” Initiative 300 was turned down by more than 81% of voters.

The Bible Speaks – Flight Paths The FAA is considering some changes to aircraft flight paths over Centennial Airport. Residents close to the airport are concerned about increased noise & safety issues.

A more vital concern to each of us is what “flight path” will we take upon our death? Will we fly “up” to heaven or “down” to hell? The flight “up” for a believer will begin with the most spectacular space trip ever taken & end in joy, peace & comfort in the presence of the Lord & the saints forever. The flight “down” for the unsaved will begin with a dark & scary plunge & end in a place of torment, of weeping, wailing & gnashing of teeth with Satan & his demons forever.

Make sure you are on that upward flight path by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior (John 3:16). hfsmail@basicisp.net
