DENVER — It was the day the earth stood still. Never in American history were their more profound shock, sadness, and grief juxtaposed against a genuine jubilation as Donald Trump took his victory lap that will soon land him as the next White (or will it be Gold?) House Resident-in-Chief. In a bifurcated election that defied all sense and sensibility, it proved that we often don’t know what we know.

As the fourth president in Ameri-can history that lost the popular vote, it underscores a nagging sense that what many people want isn’t what they will get. Since both candidates were considered deeply flawed, there was nonetheless, a shocking and pathetically low turnout rate. 46.9% turned their back on the pro-cess never casting a ballot. Perhaps this change into the unchartered waters of our future will define and underscore the necessity of our commitment in future elections.

Obama was right. The sun did come out the next day, in spite of the results. With Colorado in the Clinton camp, marches and rallies filled the air. On November 10 Dem-ocratic State Representative Joseph Salazar hosted an inclusiveness ral-ly to show support for groups who felt targeted during the Trump cam-paign. A coalition of colors gathered on the steps of the Capitol promising to renew progressive activism.

Later thousands of citizens descended in peace at the State Capitol marching through the 16th Street Mall to collectively lick their wounds. It was cathartic for many. Brett Littleton, said, “Denver, I want to say thank you. I somehow feel just a little more myself than I did a few short hours ago. To see so many peo-ple soundly, loudly, and most impor-tantly, peacefully reject hatred and bigotry was a serious step towards restoring my faith in humanity.”

The aftermath of the election has

Victory, loss and hope for the future

created a deep well of reflection, as pro-Trump and pro-Clinton sup-porters process the meaning in their lives. The following reflections are from all walks of life in the North Denver community. From politi-cians to neighbors to students, what-ever their choice, there is a sense of hope and optimism that defines the spirit of our community and will act as a guiding light for the coming years.

conduct and actions. While there is no time where the politics of hatred and anger belong, we need not look any further for guidance than the example set by President Obama and his family, so succinctly put by First Lady Michelle Obama, “When they go low, we go high.”

Go forward with an open heart and mind and hold dear to your communities shared values, rooted in a diversity of cultures and opin-ions, because that is what makes us who we are.

As your Councilman, I want you to know that I cannot be prouder to serve our community. Thank you. Overwhelmingly the voices I hear are of those who are fighting for a just society, educated minds, sustainable communities, and on behalf of those that lack econom-ic privilege. And I am regularly moved by your passion and ability to come together to fight for people and ideas you know are right.

Regardless of how long you’ve been here, take steps to get to know about one another where you live. You’ll find, we all are full of unique experiences and beliefs that make us who we are. Regardless of your involvement, without each and everyone of you, our community would be weaker in skills, in knowl-edge, in compassion, and all of the things that make Northwest Denver a place that endures, cares, and acts.

The Dawning Of A New Era?Ed KietaRESIDENT

SLOAN’S LAKE — Regardless which end of the political spectrum you lean, you, along with the other

those of color and faith. We wit-nessed many in our nation accept hurtful, wrongful and immoral comments against women as lock-er-room banter. We experienced violence being endorsed over rea-sonable, meaningful discussion, compromise and diplomacy. De-spite what we have heard and wit-nessed on the national stage and in isolated local incidents, we, as Americans, can benefit by recalling and reflecting on the inherent truth in the inaugural words of President Clinton, “There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.”

In this season of change, when ideological rifts in our nation ap-pear more divided than ever, and covert hate feels emboldened, we live in a place where diversity is intrinsic to the desirability of our Northwest Denver neighborhoods. We both celebrate and respect our panoply of genders, races, ethnici-ties, sexual orientations and faiths that create the uniqueness of our neighborhoods. It is through our diversity, and negotiating our dif-ferences, that we have created a community of genuine respect, tol-erance, and understanding.

The dawning of a new era requires an open heartWe would

do well to r e c o g n i z e where such understanding doesn't exist, and reach out to create bridg-es over barriers and commu-nicate with an openness that helps guide us through the fear, to ac-ceptance, and finally, to cele-bration of our achievements.

I am thank-ful that our c o m m u n i t y holds itself to a better stan-dard and that so many are willing to work together to c ont i nuou sl y strengthen our resolve. Through this constant endeavor, we will reinforce the bonds that hold us together.

If past is prologue, as a country, we are in for some really heinous

7.4 billion people on this planet, were most likely stunned on elec-tion night. “The Donald” was on his way to becoming the 45th president of the United States of America. Our country's two-party political system went on life support and remains in the ICU. Hillary sup-porters experienced Armageddon. Trump supporters, vindication. The news shook the world. And even temporarily shut down the Canadian immigration website. The markets reeled and world lead-ers held unscheduled meetings. So what happened? And, more impor-tantly, where is this heading? In today's Orwellian world there's al-ways more to the story than meets the eye, and often the opposite of what appears to be so, is in fact so.

Many felt the power structure, The Establishment if you will, through electronic voting machine manipulation and other tactics would never allow a Trump pres-idency. Some may roll their eyes at the mention of a power struc-ture hiding in the shadows of our government, manipulating our elections. But one has only to look at recent prior elections to find am-ple evidence. The 2000 Gore-Bush presidential fiasco with malfunc-tioning electronic voting machines, purged voters, & "hanging chads" culminated in the Supreme Court stopping the recount just as Gore closed in on Bush, ultimately hand-ing the presidency to Bush. In the 2004 election, we witnessed the first-ever overnight (and unex-plained) reversal of the exit polls leading to another Bush "victory." And, yes, charges of voter fraud ran

Trump’s “outsider” status trumped the status quorampant in the 2016 election as well. We've been unwilling to wit-ness this black eye on our sacred American democracy. So much so that we've allowed the corruption to continue.

But now, out of nowhere, the un-expected happened. People got in-terested. Not just this demographic or that demographic, but everyone. Young, old, rich, poor, black, white, gay, straight, etc. Love him or hate him, the Trump election achieved something many throughout the world never thought possible... It awakened the American populace. We all collectively woke up and, in the process, have reclaimed our civic rights and responsibilities. Things will never be the same in American politics or governance again. Will this lead to the legit-imate creation of a multi-party system? Will we finally create the Republic intended by our founding fathers? This truly is a historic mo-ment… and we can all feel it. Any-thing is now possible. The veil has been lifted.

But did the establishment really want a brash non-politician bil-lionaire that answers to no one to become president? Most likely not, as evidenced by the overall nega-tive reporting of Trump in the cor-porate-owned mainstream media throughout the election cycle. So how did this happen? One logical conclusion – The People have final-ly, and resoundingly, rejected the establishment... And the powerful establishment may not be so pow-erful any more.

Could this be the dawning of a new era? Led by an awakening populace and a transformational shift in power? An era where the people rule, with a governance that is truly “for, by, and of” The People. We shall see.

“It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.” — Benjamin Franklin.

In support of Donald TrumpAlexander BeckRESIDENT

REGIS — A large portion of my personal support for Donald Trump comes from the fact that he immediately and boldly condemned politically correct (PC) culture. This cancer began as cultural speech policing, but evolved into the monster that it is today thanks to its cultivation by the mainstream media. The PC cult of outrage, calling anyone that disagrees with them racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, etc., has grown from small groups of crazies on college campuses being backed by leftist administrations (like at

Regis University where I currently study History) to a practice actively utilized by the mainstream media. To prove this, just observe the misinformation spread by the media, claiming that Trump has called all illegal immigrants from Mexico rapists and murderers, that he wants to deport all Mexicans whether they are here legally or not, or that he wants to ban all Muslims from the US.

For the past three presidential elections, we've heard every single Republican candidate and their

supporters being called racist. George W. Bush was a racist, John McCain was racist, Mitt Romney was racist. With all these people being labeled every ‘ist’ in the book, people weren’t phased when the same rhetoric was thrown at Trump. The group of Americans that won Trump the election, white, middle-class, working, Americans have been marginalized and ha-rassed by the media and the regres-sive left for the past 12 years at the very least. Trump is not the only winner in this election. The Poll-

ster’s not just failure in this election, but outright bias, only proves the incompetence of the media, and it is for this reason that publications like Breitbart.com, Regated.com, Infowars.com, and /r/The_Donald on reddit along with the idols of the alt-right such as Milo Yiannopou-los, Scott Adams, Mike Cernovich, etc., absolutely thrived during this election. The social media pres-ence of figures like Yiannopoulos and Cernovich reached a young,

high-energy group of Americans that typically are politically unin-volved. It's only logical that Trump secured these votes, not only was he not attacking these average Americans, but he was saying exactly what they're feeling. He immediately called out the corrupt mainstream media, he calls for getting money out of politics, and he is not afraid to fight the Special Interests and Big Businesses that are meddling in politics.

This brings me to the second reason I support Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a true political outsider, like nothing we've ever seen. Trump is not, in any sense, a traditional conservative, which was one of the reasons why I did not immediately leap to support him during the primary. What took me a little while to see is that he was and is doing exactly what our sys-tem was designed for. He came in with no experience, speaking what people believed and with their sup-port usurped the GOP, half of our political system. Trump doesn't owe anything to Wall Street he doesn't owe anything to Big Busi-ness he is in a position to go into the White House and make what he be-lieves are the best decisions for the betterment of our country.

While it is possible that he may not deliver on his promises it is all we can do with any political candi-date to have faith in them. Is there a bit more faith required in this case? Yes, of course, but I would rather put my faith in an outsider who hasn't proven themselves yet, rather than not only one of the people who has contributed to the corruption and lies we see in Washington, but one of the masterminds.

North High School Students Speak OutTabitha WilburNORTH HIGH SCHOOL, JUNIOR

WEST DEN-VER — On November 9th, 2016, the stu-dents of North High School were not the same. You could see it in their faces: a wild array rang-ing from terror to disbelief, to dejection. And while none of us can reverse the results we received earlier that morning, I cannot hold my silence. Far too many have voiced that they believe the election results reflect whether or not they have value. So, for all of us, I can only offer a few words.

For my many hard-working Latino and Latina classmates, who have been told they are rapists and criminals: you are so much more than these assumptions.

For the people that show me strength and resilience everyday, who have been mocked for having a disability: you are so much more than cruel imitations.

For some of my closest friends falling into the LGBT category who have been told they will not receive equal rights: you are so much more than one man's opinion.

For the fear-struck students who have been told they are unwanted because they do not have papers: you are so much more welcomed than you have been told.

For the widespread students of North in the lower class who have been told they are moronic for not possessing masses of wealth: you are so much more than a number in a bank account.

For myself, and all the other in-telligent and independent females who have been told our worth depends upon our physical appear-ance: you are so much more worthy than he could admit.

The groups I have mentioned are only a few who have been further targeted throughout the campaign by our newly elected president. Yet, not one part of me believes that these marginalized groups are

about to be pushed out, discrimi-nated, or ignored from our nation. Racism, ableism, homophobia, sex-ism, and other issues are staring us in the face- there is no better time than now to address them. No mat-ter what race, gender, and class; we are all affected.

For all of us Americans: we are so much more than the man who leads us.

Carlos MontoyaNORTH HIGH SCHOOL, JUNIOR

NORTH DENVER — In my case, I feel like everyone assumes you vote for Hilary because you're brown. However, in my home, we actually voted for Trump. Crazy right? We thought Trump was right because my cousin just went to the military and he's Pro-Military and he cares for our troops. He's also Pro-LEO (Law Enforcement Officers), and with my dad being a Denver Officer I know Trump had their back. And we like someone who's up front with us, not someone who seems like they have a secret agenda.

EDGEWATER — With Donald Trump being our new United States

The work begins now for healing and changePresident, we may be angered about what he has stated about Mexicans, women and people with disabili-ties, but it is not the end of the world. Donald Trump cannot immediate-ly kick out immigrants, he cannot immediately do what he wants, and Congress would never propose his ideas into reality. I believe that with a lot of time, others and I will have to face the truth that he is now our president and that protesting will not suddenly change who is our new President.

The work begins nowDan PabonCOLORADO STATE REPRESENTATIVE

BERKELEY — This campaign season has been filled with despi-cable rhetoric and hateful actions. I woke up on Wednesday morning not quite sure how I would explain the results to my children now or in the years to come.

A shocking result such as this can make us want to retreat, give in, and focus on our own slice of life in frustrated solace. However, now is not the time to retreat to corners. It is the time to engage with our neigh-bors, friends, allies AND opponents to create constructive dialogue about how to rebuild bridges and

focus on the issues that unite us.Many people showed up to vote

in this election because they were frustrated enough to finally do something. Many others, including me, voted with hopefulness toward breaking one of the final boundar-ies for women in our nation. Our differing votes and reasons do not change the fact that we have al-ways needed to reach out and forge stronger relationships throughout our community -- especially fol-lowing contentious disagreements.

Here’s what I know we value in North and West Denver and these values permeate all of Colorado:

We want safe streets to walk down and for children to play. Our families need the security to know that they will be able to pay their bills every month and stay in their homes. Our kids and grandkids must have access to high-quality schools.

We know that our beautiful mountains must be preserved for hunting, fishing, skiing and hiking for generations to come. We want to spend time with our friends and neighbors and enjoy the beauty of life. These are things that ALL Col-oradans want, regardless of who

they cast their ballot for on Election Day.

And now, more than ever, North and West Denver needs commu-nity. We can all work on fixing our broken sidewalks. We can build a park in Inspiration Point. We can offer solutions on the I70 expansion. We can work on ensuring that tax money is funding technology in our schools and that we are connecting people to jobs in the community.

This work builds community. While national debates may lead the news, what makes our neigh-borhoods special is the work that we accomplish right here at home.

There is no belief litmus test needed to ensure we meet the goals stated above. No political party is required. If you are willing to lend a hand or your voice, we need it most right now to keep moving forward.

If you are ready and agree that now is perhaps the most import-ant time in recent memory to get to work, please join me. Call me at (720) 442-0976 or email me at [email protected].

The sun will rise tomorrow, the work begins anew; rest, so we can carry on.

WEST HIGHLANDS and CHAF-FEE PARK —“We’re really good at Thanksgiving,” says Suzanne Leff, a resident of Hearthstone Cohousing Community in Highland Gardens Village. "We have some really good cooks, and it's great to celebrate with our Hearthstone family."

Future residents of the Aria Cohousing project, under con-struction in the former Marycrest Convent at 52nd and Federal, are thankful to be able to develop their new community from the ground up. “We are developing how we’ll support each other and live togeth-er,” said Deborah Clendenning, a 31-year resident of Northwest Den-ver and a founding member of the Aria group.

The two communities are among 20 such cohousing communities in Colorado, according to the Co-housing Association of the United States. Cohousing is growing and attracting people of all ages. “The generations that grew up in the ‘burbs, or raised their kids there, have seen what isolation does. They don’t want to live on a cul-de-sac anymore,” said Susan Powers, pres-ident of Urban Ventures, developer of the Aria project.

Cohousing is an intentional community of private homes clus-tered around shared space. Each attached or single-family home has traditional amenities, including a private kitchen. Shared spaces typi-cally feature a common house with a large kitchen and dining area. Shared outdoor space may include open space and gardens. Neighbors also share resources like tools and lawnmowers.

Cohousing encourages inter-action among neighbors for so-cial and environmental benefits. Households have independent incomes and private lives, but neighbors collaboratively plan and manage community activities and shared spaces. Community activ-

ities include regularly scheduled shared meals, meetings, and work-days. Neighbors gather for parties, games, movies, and other events. Cohousing makes it easy to form clubs, organize child and elder care and carpool.

Hearthstone Cohousing, started in 2001, is comprised of 33 townho-mes nestled around a shared green space. The community includes about 70 residents of all ages, in-cluding families with kids, single parents, singles, and seniors.

“We live closely; we want to inter-act with each other,” says Leff. "We cook meals together several times a week, and we make business decisions together about the land-scaping and the common house. We have active clubs, like our cli-mate-change group. Some of our members formed a band that plays at the open mic at Tennyson Tap.”

Leff, a resident since 2004, is an attorney and the mother of two children, ages 16 and 11. "We moved here because we wanted our kids to play outside after dark like we did," she said. "Our parents weren't hov-ering, but we knew that eyes were

Giving thanks for community living

on us. It's collective community care. All of us know all of the kids."

Hearthstone Townhomes range between 900 and 2,400 square feet. Leff and her children live in a 1,500-square-foot unit. “There’s not a lot of space to be alone, or to have guests, but the common house has a guestroom with a full bath. It’s a good way to extend our living space.”

The 4,800-square-foot common house also has a kitchen, dining room, laundry, playroom, storage, and a cubby for clothing or other items to share with the community. The mantle in the fireplace room displays photos of all the commu-nity’s families.

Leff says the community, cele-brating its 15th year, is about help-ing one another. “We rally around people who need food or care. A single bed traveled between homes for people with ankle or knee in-juries, so they could sleep on their main level without climbing stairs. We provide meals for neighbors af-ter surgery, or when a child is born. For new babies, a handmade quilt is presented.”

Of the 20 cohousing commu-nities in Colorado, six are in the Denver area, and nine are in the Boulder area, with others in Lyons, Paonia, and Colorado Springs.

The Aria Cohousing project, slat-ed for completion in April of 2017, is part of a 17.5-acre Mixed-use, mixed-income development in the Chaffee Park neighborhood. The $7.2 million cohousing project is 28 condos, including eight designat-ed affordable units. Twenty-three units have been sold, and several more are under contract.

Aria is developer Powers’ first foray into cohousing. “It’s a fasci-nating and wonderful process,” she said. “The future residents meet every Monday, some of them by Skype, to discuss everything from forming committees to where they want the kitchen to be.

“As a developer of condos, I see the benefit of having the ultimate occupants involved from the begin-ning—even though it takes longer because the design process is more inclusive. This cohousing project is

Sustainability in actiondifferent from some because the homes will be in one building. So there will be even more communi-ty contact in the hallways. It’s good for social cohesion.”

Powers said the founders of Aria cohousing are four women who found each other through the National Cohousing Association (co-housing.org). "Some are local, and others are from Philadelphia and Boston. They have family here, and they were attracted to the de-velopment, which includes a pro-duction farm and a greenhouse.”

Future Aria resident Vicki Rott-man said it helps to work with a developer. “Usually a group forms first, buys land and hires an archi-tect, etc. We've avoided some of the usual challenges with starting up because our project is being built by a developer. We’re forming our community at the same time that planning and construction are tak-ing place.”

Powers likes the sustainability of re-using the historic convent, first opened in 1958. “This building was built to last hundreds of years—I would never have demolished it. The contractors are taking it apart gently and putting it back together for its next life. The outside will look much the same. This property has a blessed, powerful feeling because of its history with the Sisters of St. Francis. It’s special, very different from new construction.”

The cohousing concept, start-

ed in Denmark in the 1960s, is inherently sustainable, says Leff. "Our shared values include saving resources. We live smaller, and we have no air conditioning—instead, the buildings are well-insulated to stay cool when it cools off at night. One boiler in each building heats all three to six homes and provides hot water. The floors in our shared spaces are Marmoleum, which is linseed-oil based rather than petro-leum. We share resources, like cars and rides, and we make sustainable food choices. We recycle our cloth-ing for other community members. Our landscaping does not use pes-ticides or herbicides, and it includes more xeriscape plants. We’re not unique, but any decision we make has the sustainable piece as part of the discussion.”

Leff said cohousing is growing because people are looking for con-nection. “People want to connect in person. We have more opportu-nities to connect digitally, but what do those connections do? I need face-to-face interaction. Cohousing is not all rainbows and unicorns; you have to interact, and you can’t run away from issues. It’s an oppor-tunity to engage on a level we don’t always encounter. In a mobile soci-ety, it gives us roots.”

Planting the seeds for a community gardenElisa [email protected]

SLOAN’S LAKE — As gardeners are putting their vegetable plots to bed, a group of community members is in the planning phase of a new com-munity garden on the Lake Middle School grounds located at 18th and Lowell. The Denver Public Schools community garden will be part of the large network of Denver Urban Gardens school-based gardens.

Before a piece of land can be transformed into a community garden, at least 12 to 15 dedicated founding members must join to establish the governance and fund-raising infrastructure to see the idea to fruition. Several members of the staff of both Lake International School and Strive, the two middle schools who share this campus, have taken part in the initial plan-ning outreach.

Doug Yetman, a local parent, avid gardener, and owner of the Jefferson Park Farm and Flea Mar-ket is one of the first community members to express an interest in the idea.

Laurel Mattrey of Denver Public Schools facilities is initiating a site analysis that will include DPS and Denver Urban Garden planners.

A community garden costs up to $25,000 to fully implement with fencing, arbors, and other gar-den amenities. The land has full sunshine, access to water, and no current student use. Denver Urban Gardens also provides curriculum to educate students on the steward-ship of land and gardens.

Community members interest-ed in participating in the design and implementation of the garden should email Elisa Cohen email [email protected].

HIGHLANDS — In the original North Denver, the garage was as ubiquitous as a burrito. The kind of garage that cars got fixed in. Scat-tered on every other block this kind of building was the backbone of blue collar, honest laborers. The kind of place that Bob and Ted built. It was the kind of place that felt real…kind of homey, in that down to earth way. No pretense. But, as the Highlands started trading in low-riders for the Lexus, the garage was traded in for big boxes. All that seemed to be left were garage doors that started appearing as walls and windows in trendy restau-rants. Mostly, though, the garage door closed on an era of the north side.

The garage that sits across the street from the Highlands United Meth-odist Church (HUMC) has long been abandoned as a mechanics joint. Although the community has gathered there often for events from Halloween to Christmas tree lightings to the Taste of Highlands, its use has been primarily for Church storage and the parking lot that the congregants utilize. That is all about to change.

Highlands United Methodist Church has a vision. Unlike many churches who have sold parcels of land to shore up financial re-serves or fix failing infrastructure, HUMC’s mantra is “Building a Home Where all Belong.” Rather than sell out, Reverend Brad Laur-vick plans to share this vision with the entire community to bring a beating heart back to the type of

Great garage makeover turns into neighborhood hubbuilding that once represented the heartbeat of the community.

A capital campaign is under-way to reinvest and renovate the building, as a community space, as well as for much-needed church improvements. On November 20 the congregation will make its commitments toward the $400,000 goal that will finance the renova-tion of the garage, as well as the restoration and preservation of the church’s stain glass windows, and swap a boiler before it bursts. While the congregants will finance the majority of needs within the house of worship, the goal is to engage the entire community in the effort to build the community hub.

Laurvick explained, “Finance wise, the church will be funding the majority of everything including the garage. We want to invest what we have, what we do, and whom we are to make this possible. We also want to invite the neighborhood to support it as well.” The idea is inspiring many and generous do-nations have started to flow in from neighborhood business leaders like Matthew Hibler, Cliff Bautsch and Fire on the Mountain.

He said, “With all the things the Highlands of Denver offers, one thing missing is space. There aren’t enough spaces for people to gather, for neighborhood get-togethers, for

free classes and workshops, and more. We will turn our unused parking lot garage into a “Hub for All Things Highlands.”

Laurvick’s imagination runs the gamut for its potential uses in-cluding Co-working Monday’s that bring those who work from home together with other creative people. Early plans also include garden-ing workshops, bike maintenance classes, live music, and a spot for kids play days during the winter.

Getting under the hood of other ideas being considered include concepts as varied as a spot to stay in for youth groups on missions, a reclaimed and recycled playground with yard games and climbable art,

a neighborhood art gallery with rotating exhibitions featuring local schools and local artists’ works, community yoga, quilting classes, dance classes, music lessons, a community conversation pit and after-school tutoring. He envisions it as “a community space with a micro-park vibe where people in-tentionally choose to stop by to see what’s going on while they are out for a walk.”

Laurvick believes the renovation and reimagination of this space will take it from “urban blight to urban delight. Instead of redeveloping, we will be reinvesting and reinvigorat-ing.” He hopes that the building will

be activated for community use by the summer of 2017.

The interior plan includes keep-ing the space open and airy to encourage a variety of functions. Exterior concepts include the inte-gration of art and murals, another anchor concept of the old north side, now modernized. The wrap-around “guerilla-art” will reflect the various aspects of the neighbor-hood and Colorado that keep bring-ing new disciples to its mile high ground. Motifs on the mural could include imagery like bicycling, The Millennial Bridge, gardens, stroll-ers, and eating ice cream. The idea is in very early conceptual stages, but ultimately serves to reflect the

mission that HUMC stands by; to serve its c o m m u n i t y with “open hearts, open minds, open doors.”

The annual holiday tree lighting is on Sunday, No-vember 27 at 7:00 p.m. Lau-rvick will open the garage doors in their current raw state to invite

neighbors in for hot cocoa and cookies so that they, too, can be part of the dream team that reimagines what their community space could be. Laurvick will provide a financial update and is seeking ideation input for the plan. For this writer who has lived through the radical changes in North Denver and witnessed that everything old is new again, I hope they call it “The Garage.”

Everyone in the community is encouraged to donate to the capital campaign to have a place that we can all “own,” a place where all be-long. For more details and to donate visit HighlandsUMC.com.

Reverend Brad Laurvick and The Highlands United Methodist Church are launching a campaign to build a home where all belong. A renovation of the old garage will act as a community hub. The conceptual design is being colored with community ideas.


Banded Oak Brewing CoKelli [email protected]

BAKER — Barrel aged beers bridge the gap between serious beer nerds and wine connoisseurs. When crafting barrel-aged beers, the base beer must be hearty enough to stand up to the wood. The brew-ery's motto is "Expertly crafted. Aged when applicable."

Barrel aging is a labor of love. I say this as a devoted spouse with a 55-gal barrel, filled with home brew aging in my basement. Barrels take space and attention to do right.

While not all the beers were on oak, the beers, in general, stood up quite well. The barrels at Banded Oak are Cabernet barrels from Napa Valley's Rutherford region.

I visited with some friends on a chilly early fall night and enjoyed the in-between weather, sitting on the inside counter with the open bay doors facing South Broadway.

The space is modern, with wood accents throughout in homage to the mighty barrel. The location in Baker had me reminiscing about the old days when I rented an apartment at First Ave and Sher-man St and drank cheap beer at the now-defunct 404 Lounge. Like the rest of the city, the neighborhood has changed dramatically, but the beers are a welcome addition.

I started with the Imperial Pils, (7.3% ABV). Imperial Pilsners are a characteristically tricky style be-cause the yeast must be vigorous to convert all the sugars to alcohol. This pils had a bit of residual sweet-ness, but was very tasty, a good for-ay into Banded Oak’s offerings.

Next, I moved to the American IPA (6.8% ABV). The beer was nice and spicy and had a fresh green grass flavor.

The Marzen Oktoberfest (6.1% ABV) was stupendous. It arrived with a deep amber color. The flavor was creamy, mouth-coating, and caramel flavored.

The beers got darker and more serious from here.

The Atomga Brazilian Impe-rial Stout (9.5% ABV) was pretty hardcore. The dark profile of this one continued to build. A little bit smoky, the darkness of the malts carried the day here.

Belgian Strong (11.7% ABV) was sweet and deep and had some nice dried prune flavors. The beer hid the very strong alcohol content well. The Belgian Strong would make a great night cap on these chilly autumn evenings.

On to the barrel aged goodies! As I said before, the beer must be mighty to go into a barrel, lest it be overpowered by the oak. Banded Oak nailed it with the beers I tried.

Imperial Rye Saison Aged in Cab Barrels (10.3% ABV) was an oaky, spicy, unique beer. Rye adds a spice and texture to beer that transferred well to the cab barrels. Nothing was overbearing in this glass, de-

spite the high ABV. Scotch Ale Aged in Cab Barrels

(8.2% ABV) The barrel shined in this beer. This beer had tradition-al scotch ale sweetness and malt, combined with a deep, wine musty wood flavor. Top notch.

I suggest a visit if you’re on South Broadway. One snap to Banded Oak for its on-tap kombucha, free for designated drivers. Two enthu-siastic snaps for sharing the park-ing lot with the highly delicious Dae Gee Korean BBQ. Get a barrel-aged beer and some pork belly, and pre-pare to be wowed by the balance of fatty and rich.

Thursday, November 17th… put the paper down and drive to the EXDO

event center. Chef and Brew take the stage for

a night of exquisite beer and food pairing from top Denver chefs and brewers. Chef & Brew is a compe-tition: thirty dishes, forty beers, an overwhelming palate experience. A portion of ticket sales will go to Denver’s Project Angel Heart, feeding Coloradoans with severe illness. Tickets are $55 but trust me; they're worth it. Don’t miss this.

Cheese and Beer Strange Brew Co 1330 Zuni Street By November 28th, you’re going

to want to forget about poultry. What better way to wipe the slate clean then to head to Strange Craft Beer, for a “Strange Cheese Incident”? The brewery pairs up with the Truffle Cheese Shop for a pairing that includes five different cheeses, with five different beers. Tickets are $25, and while this is a monthly event, it’s also a good way to usher in “slightly larger or stretchier pants season."

Cheers!

“One Death, Please” a Darkly Comic Indictment Craig [email protected]

HIGHLANDS — Seeing a new work on stage can be a gamble; there are benefits, in that you might discover a wonderful new surprise, or at least a diamond in the rough, something with promise but not completely polished. But you can also be disap-pointed. I found the Equinox Theatre production of is producing the world premiere of local playwright Chris-tian Munck’s One Death, Please to be interesting and enjoyable, pleas-antly surprising, but not perfect.

The play is built on an interesting and clever scenario: a pop start who is losing favor with the public wants to die, but make it look like a tragic accident so that her popularity will skyrocket. She knows that "the me-dia enjoys shoving a good celebrity death in our faces," and doesn't seem to mind that she won't be around to enjoy her renewed stardom. But things get more complicated when she discovers that the brother and sister who are going to help her die are cannibals, and are willing to help in exchange for a tasty meal. Throughout the play, Munck uses very dark, harsh, and biting (pun intended) comedy to indict the media’s obsessions with fame and scandal. But he also goes further, pointing out that we are all to blame, and seems to suggest that cannibal-ism isn't that different from what we all do to each other and our celeb-rities. The comedy of the first act is good – it is merciless, and pushes the

comfort level of ev-eryone watching, as good dark comedy should. The second act focuses less on the comic, deliv-ering some more serious messages directly. While this does work reason-ably well, I found myself wishing that Munck had kept up the uncomfortable level of comedy of the first act all the way through. I also liked the bits where the character “Media” became in-volved, I could have used more of that.

Director Patrick Brownson does not hold back on this one – there is disturbing drug use, bewildering superficiality, and hi-larious discussions of cannibalism, but all fit in the dark comedy genre well. The first act works well because it makes us uncomfortable, but we can still laugh. Each of the charac-ters has things to like about them and things to make us a bit quea-sy, which is a nice balance. Both acts open with a montage of three scenes, which set the stage for what is to come nicely.

Julie Kaye Wolf is likable, believ-able, and edgy as Erin, going over the top on some of the comedy, but stay-ing surprisingly sympathetic. As the action culminates, Wolf goes all in, building up the intensity really well. Seth Dhonau is her brother Daniel, charming and sincere, probably the most sympathetic and real charac-ter, but without a lot of opportunity for comedy. As the pop star Olive, Emily Ebertz is ditsy and shallow,

almost frightening in the sincerity of her death wish. Toward the end, Ebertz also transforms into a hero-ine that we can cheer for, finally able to survive the criticism directed at her. Kenneth Stellingwerf is intense as Loren, also drawing sympathy as he tries to help Olive and himself. Veronica Straight-Lingo plays Me-dia, hitting the two celebrities she impersonates well, but also getting appropriately nastier and more intense towards the end. Mike Mo-ran is funny and more than a little creepy as Chuckles. Moran captures the physicality of an addict disturb-ingly well, and pairs that with come-dy unexpectedly effectively.

The set for One Death, Please, de-signed by Colin Roybal, is somewhat black-box-generic, with a revolving section to provide the three different interiors. The sparseness of the set does fit the style of the production but looked a bit unpolished. Roybal's

lighting is effective, adding nice tex-ture from patterns, and with good control for the different areas. Lisa Young's costumes are fun, going ex-treme for Olive, and appropriate for the others.

One Death, Please is a good new play, very funny at times, interesting and entertaining, unabashedly an indictment of the media and of the society that supports and feeds off that media. When Erin, referring to the drug addicts and losers that she has been consuming, says “The world had already reduced them to nothing – I just finished the job,” it is easy to see her as not much different than the rest of us. I think the play would be stronger and more com-pelling if the dark, scathing comedy pushed us even further out of our comfort zone all the way through. But still, as it is, it will make you laugh, squirm a bit, and think.

Lawsuits originally filed against the City of Denver and EnviroFinance Group (EFG), devel-oper of the old St. Anthony Hospital site, to stop the development of up to 12 story buildings on 17th Avenue across from Sloan's Lake Park, have moved to the Colorado Court of Appeals with legal representation by attorney Gregory Kerwin from the Denver office of the interna-tional law firm of Gibson Dunn. The law suits were originally filed in March and December of 2015 by long-time NW Denver resident and attorney, David R. Medina who represented the Plaintiff's in the suit, the Sloan's Lake Neighborhood Association and nearby residents’ pro bono publico (without charge for the public good).

Mr. Medina passed away unexpectedly on September 26, 2016. Originally from Pueblo, David rose from the ranks as a carpenter to become business manager for the Carpenters Union. After attending law school at the University of Nebraska he served as an Assistant District Attorney in Pueblo and labor union lawyer. He is survived by his children who grew up in NW Denver, Tone and Jose Medina and Olga Avila as well as many loving grandchil-dren.

The lawsuits challenge the February 17, 2015 and November 23, 2015 Denver City Council decisions to approve rezoning of two square blocks across from Sloan's Lake Park for 8-to-12 story luxury high rise condominiums and apartments. The basis for the suits has been the resident's contention that the City Council decisions were not consistent with a prior City Council approved and adopted plan stemming from a two-year community based plan-ning process in 2005 and 2006. The primary feature of that plan called for taller buildings and high-density to be placed close to West Colfax and away from Sloan’s Lake Park.

In order to overturn a zoning decision by Denver City Council, a Plaintiff must show the City of Denver erred as a matter of law, and abused its discretion, in failing correctly to enforce the Denver Zoning Code’s requirement that zoning changes be consistent with

“adopted plans.” However, Denver District Court Judge Eric Elliff ruled against the neighbor-hood Plaintiffs giving Denver unlimited discretion to adopt any zoning change, regardless of obvious conflicts with adopted plans, by deferring to the Denver City Council’s own “judg-ment in determining if the amendments are consistent with the relevant guidance.”

The precedent being set in this case is, therefore, of citywide importance. The issue at stake here is that, inasmuch as where there is a community based planning process that results in a plan that is adopted by City Council as an ordinance and which becomes part of the City's Comprehensive Plan, can the Council ignore and not follow that plan when considering a future rezoning request? The Plaintiffs in this case maintain that to allow the City Council to ignore specific requirements in adopted neighborhood plans will make meaningless, community involvement in the planning process.

Meanwhile, the block bounded by Stuart Street on the west and Raleigh on the east and 16th and 17th Avenues on the south and north, touted by its developer/promoter NAVA Development as the “Lakehouse” features a sales office with fancy models of the high-rise development with units selling for more than $1 million and for more than $600 per square foot. It is not clear, however, that NAVA has actually purchased the land from EFG and groundbreaking is not scheduled until spring of 2017. The same is true of the block just to the east along 17th Avenue which is to be developed by Houston based Hines Development. It appears that the land has yet to transfer title from EFG to Hines and groundbreaking is not scheduled until the summer of 2017.

Larry Ambrose is Vice President of the Sloan's Lake Neighborhood Association. A copy of the Opening Brief to the Colorado Court of Appeals referenced above is available as an October 7 post on the Sloan's Lake Neighborhood Association Facebook page.

Sloan's Lake lawsuit moves to Colorado Court of Appeals

NW Denver is “Standing Together with Standing Rock”Basha Cohen [email protected]

with contributions from Nancy Olsen and Rob Ford

NORTH DENVER — The events at Standing Rock represent the largest gathering of Native Americans in recent history. They've come togeth-er, along with many allies, in unity to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline in order to protect not only their community's drinking water, but also the drinking water of millions downstream, and to protect their sacred land as noted in the Fort Laramie treaty of 1851.

This current struggle highlights many of the pressing issues of our day that need to be addressed, not only at Standing Rock, but through-out our country including Racial Justice, Indigenous Sovereignty, Human Rights, Eminent Domain abuse, Stewardship of our environ-ment, Transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, Excessive corporate influence on local law enforcement, Militarized police and Absence of mainstream media.

A group of committed North Denver residents and City officials including Dan Pabon, Rafael Es-pinoza, Amanda Sandoval, Paul Lopez, Deborah Ortega, Rudy and Nita Gonzales, and Commander Paul Pazen are banding together to support their native brothers and sisters on November 19 and 20.

The community action will build

solar trailers to support the Stand-ing Rock Camp in North Dakota. There are thousands of people at Standing Rock from over 300 tribes including indigenous people from all over the world and they are readying for winter camp. The plan is to deliver them the first week of December as time is of the essence.

An education and awareness event, “Standing Together with Standing Rock,” is scheduled on Saturday, Nov 19 from 1-4pm in the new Little Man Ice Cream facility at 4415 West Colfax. A panel of Tribal leaders and community educators will explain the current situation to better inform the appropriate actions to help. The solar trailer building process will begin, and the community is invited to observe and participate.

A GoFundMe account has been established to raise money for the cost of building the solar trailers. Each unit is roughly $2,300, which is four to five times less than what they would be on the market. Currently, the group has received enough do-nated solar panels to build five trail-ers. The first build will tackle two.

They will continue to build them as more funds are raised.

Rob Ford, one of the group’s lead-ers, is a long standing professional in the solar industry and has designed the units as well as secured materi-als at highly competitive prices, at cost, or through donation and will continue to sustain acquisition at these rates.

The units are self-contained, weatherproof, easily moveable with normal cars, light enough to keep from sinking as mud and frost cycles begin, will serve as charging stations for the invaluable tools of communication for the people, and are the next step in functional pow-er distribution representing change in how we relate to energy. They are designed for the most common

needs of electricity in the camps (cell phones, laptops, lighting, small heaters).

Due to the chronic red tape and obstructionist actions for having supplies delivered to the reserva-tion, the team has partnered with David Archambault Sr., father of the Standing Rock Sioux Chairman,

who confirmed that these solar units would be very helpful to their cause at camp. He will help direct their smooth delivery.

Nancy Olsen noted, “We are thrilled to be able to contribute to this important infrastructure for the people at Standing Rock and beyond. We know these solar panel trailers will continue to be helpful on the frontlines of other struggles into the future.”

Another team member, Jennifer Wolf, who was raised on the Lac du Flambeau Ojibwe reservation in Wisconsin, is deeply entwined with the community in Standing Rock and in Denver. The heart of this fight is about protecting water. We need water to survive. Water is life,

and it has no skin color. Countless arrests, however, have turned this basic need for water into an extreme violation of civil rights.

Wolf ’s cousin, Red Fawn Fallis, a staunch water protector, was recent-ly arrested in Standing Rock facing the charge of attempted murder. A press conference was held on No-vember 7 at the Four Winds Indian Council. Although the North Dako-ta Sherriff was reported to have said that no shots were fired, her arrest has not been dismissed and the bail set at $100,000 has made it impossi-ble for her to leave the jail.

Glenn Morris, Associate Pro-fessor and President’s Teaching Scholar, at the University of Colora-do, Denver, and a Harvard trained attorney is a staunch advocate for defending Red Fawn and those at

Standing Rock. He said, “We insist and demand fair and

due process for Red Fawn. Trials like this are not new to us. After Wounded Knee hundreds were put on political trial. We know how to put the real politicians on trial. We take this extremely seriously. We intend to ensure that Red Fawn has the most qualified, competent and assertive representation in the US. We intend to vigorously defend our daughter, niece, mother and friend.”

Nita Gonzales, Principal of Es-cuela Tlatelolco, spoke on behalf of Red Fawn.

“We stand in solidarity with Red Fawn. We are proud of Red Fawn who has grown up to be someone our children should look up to. She stood up for her people. The

only thing Red Fawn is guilty of is

having the courage to stand up. She is a loving person who cared for her mother and everyone around her. She was willing to be there to sup-port the cause and to give her last dollar. In the Chicano community she is our heroine and I am proud of her.”

Wolf reflected, “With the current election results, and subsequent peace rallies and protest marches, many are recommitting them-selves to stand up for their fellow man. Safety pins are a nice thought, but here’s a chance to roll up your sleeves with your neighbors for im-mediate impact.”

Stand together with Standing Rock by joining the cause Saturday, November 19. To donate: https://www.gofundme.com/standingro-cksolartrailers
