“Hail Alley” Reality Checkby Jill Farschman

Many of our readers were negatively impacted, literally, by the June 4 hailstorm. Even if you managed to dodge that particular pummel-

ing, rest assured more are coming. Colorado is located in “Hail Alley” so the state’s

residents are no strangers to a good beating. Prior to this June, according to the Rocky Mountain Insurance Association (RMIIA), the last time Metro Denver expe-rienced a major hailstorm was September 29, 2014, with total damages reaching $213.3 million. In 2014, as a result of hail damage, State Farm policyholders alone fi led 42,365 claims with damage to homes and cars costing more than $2.4 billion.

Carole Walker, RMIIA states, “hail is Colorado’s most expensive insured catastrophe,” due to the typi-cally wide swaths of storm patterns, residential density and vehicle exposure.”Small hail that kind of looks like snow can be very dramatic visually but rarely causes the same amount of damage as larger stones.”

According to several industry experts, there are

History: Perennial Wash Park, Surprising Historical Usageby Pam Marquez

Given the perennial discussion, of-ten veering into heated debate, over what or does not constitute

the best use of our parks, I wondered how Washington Park was used a hun-dred years ago. I fully expected to fi nd no Wash Park, or a park with pedestrians

stantially over the next decades. The lakes and pond were part of the original design, as was a canal. By about 1940, the park was in the form most of us would recognize today.

The use and layout of roads in the park have changed repeatedly over the years. Signs of these changes remain. For instance the grassy bridge near the southeast corner of the park was once part of a paved road. A similar bridge can be found between the rec center and the boat house.

I found some of the city’s activ-ities in the park very interesting. For instance, in July and August 1913, the Denver Public Library packed up trunks of books for open-air reading sessions at the park. Children could check out books to take home and “Many parents also attended the story hours and a few who could not read became so interested in the stories that they have attended them in the main library building this winter.”* The program continued for at least a few years.

In 1912, a “teaching corps” of men and women were deployed to supervise the city’s public playgrounds. I’m not sure what they were supervising, but at least it kept some teachers off the streets

in the summer. In the era before recreation cen-

ters were common, one of the main park activities in the summer was swimming. The city built bathing platforms at sev-eral park lakes — including Smith Lake — as well as bathhouses for changing

and showering; the Dos Chappell Bath House in Washington Park was built for that purpose. Interestingly, the city also provided bathing suits. Washington Park offered a diving tower — the site of diving

strolling at most. Far from it. People used the park in most of the ways we do today, and quite a few ways that are illegal now: cycling, walking, swimming, diving, skat-ing, boating and picnicking, with lots and lots of residents using the park for photo opportunities.

For the record, the park is a lot older than I thought. It was originally planned and laid out right at the turn of the cen-tury. It was given its present form in the fi rst decade of the twentieth century, but the park’s landscape was reworked sub-

Get Involved Early and Often to Help Shape Your City: Learn About the Planning Processby Evelyn BakerDeputy Director, Denver Community Planning and Development

The character and pace of the changes occurring in the phys-ical form of our city — the new

buildings, road design, public spaces — is a frequent topic of conversation today. People are reinvesting in their homes, and new development that was slowed by the recession is now back in full swing. Neighbors can’t help but notice the uptick and many are wondering how they can have a say in the development

Planning involves a robust public input process, with many opportunities for residents to get involved. Typically a plan takes 18-24 months to complete, includes a number of stakeholder work-ing group meetings and public events and culminates in a public hearing before the Denver Planning Board, a meeting with the City Council Planning and Neighborhoods committee and a final public hearing before the City Council.

ZoningWith a plan in place, the next step is

to ensure that the area’s zoning and the

plan vision line up. The Denver Zoning Code regulates the size and placement of buildings, defines parking requirements and establishes appropriate land uses. Individual property owners can request changes in the zoning regulations that apply to any property, or the city can ini-tiate changes through legislation.

Changes to zoning include a pro-cess for public input. Applicants are encouraged to reach out to neighbors before submitting an application. Once a formal rezoning application is sub-

Development (CPD) is the city agency that oversees the activities that guide appropriate development in our neigh-borhoods. These activities range from preparing area plans and development regulations, to reviewing development proposals and finally to issuing per-mits and conducting inspections. Public input opportunities vary with the dif-ferent steps along the way and are more numerous in early stages. We urge you to get involved early and often in shaping your community.

Before a shovel ever hits the ground, a number of things have to be in place. The steps are: Citywide and neighbor-hood plans, zoning, permit review

PlanningDenver relies on various plans to

define the long-term, broad vision for the community and to guide future land use and urban design. There are citywide plans, like the Denver Comprehensive Plan 2000 and Blueprint Denver, which provide guidance for Denver’s 155 square miles. In addition, there are more than eighty smaller area plans that are more detailed.

City Planning 101: The Citizens’ Planning Academy

Local residents will get an inside look at how city planning works starting in September, when Denver Community Planning and Development launches the first-ever Citizens’ Planning Academy. Hosted in partnership with the Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation (INC) neighborhood coalition, the free, three-part curriculum will give thirty participants insight into the key aspects of citywide plans, neighborhood plans and zoning.

The goal of the academy is to empower residents, business owners and others with information needed to engage in and guide planning efforts effec-tively, both in their own neighborhoods and for the whole city. The academy will be held on three Wednesday evenings this fall: September 30 and October 14 and 28. To apply or for additional information, visit DenverGov.org/CPD. The application deadline is August 14.

Courses will be jointly taught by city planners, neighborhood represen-tatives and industry professionals, with interactive activities and group dis-cussions. They will cover:

Citywide Planning: How does a city of more than 650,000 set a vision for its future? Learn how to identify and prioritize transportation and land-use strategies to build sustainable and well-connected communities citywide.

Neighborhood Planning: What are your neighborhood’s best features? What would make it healthier, more livable and better connected? Learn how neighbors have worked together to identify what character-defining features to preserve and enhance, while opening doors for appropriate reinvestment to keep their area vibrant.

Zoning: Zoning can help translate a community’s broad vision into sticks and bricks. Learn about Denver’s context- and form-based code and how it strives to improve the health, safety, prosperity and quality of life for all of Denver. Learn helpful tips about how to use the code, including online tools available at DenverGov.org/zoning.

After the pilot phase this fall, the academy may continue and expand in 2016.

Underground Music Showcase - Recapby Michael G. Clark

In recent years, governor John Hick-enlooper has touted the claim that Denver has more venues than the

southwest music mecca of Austin, Texas. While it's a questionable claim, the fi f-teen annual Underground Music Show-case was a reminder that within one

South Broadway saw buskers playing old paint buckets, hawkers selling bot-tled water and snacks and even a mobile DJ carting his music up and down the sidewalk.

At the 8p.m. kick-off, Safe Boating is No Accident, a local fi ve-piece band with roots in Americana and indie rock delivered a raucous, lively set at the Irish Rover. From there the night carried on into countless genres: everything from hip-hop by Fort Collins-based rapper Qbala to brooding, droney instrumental rock from doom rockers Clemente.

The second night carried on into heavier territory, particularly at Brendan’s Pub. A veritable outpost of a venue, the bar is on the northernmost edge of the event. But all shows I caught at this pub were well worth the extra trip. Power trio the Munsens delivered an excellent ear-ly-evening sludgy set, while industrial rockers Echo Beds brought things back up with a 10p.m. set featuring an amplifi ed 50 gallon drum as percussion.

On the mainstage, Superchunk’s Mac McCaughan played a short but

wide-reaching set comprised of songs spanning his three-decade career. McCaughan traded his usual pow-er-trio sound for a more stripped-down approach. Armed with only an elec-tric guitar and amp, he invited Chicago multi-instrumentalist John McEntire to join in on drums and keyboard halfway through the set.

While both nights boasted an over-whelming amount of talent, Saturday was undoubtedly the main event. This year’s “city parties” introduced tour-ing bands to the local crowd including a Boise bill at the Skylark and an Austin-focused bill at the Hi-Dive. The main stage pulsated — literally — with visual

and musical stylings by electro-pop act STRFKR.

The latter half of the evening com-bined local veteran bands with out-of-town acts. A personal favorite was a midnight set by Santa Fe act Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand. The band’s lineup was so immense that they spilled onto the bar fl oor, playing a cacophony of percussion with immense precision.

As Denver grows in population, it will certainly be interesting to see how the Underground Music Showcase evolves with it. I can personally say I’m looking forward to seeing another fi f-teen years, or more.

People Of South Denver

Leon Loughridge: From Watercolors to Woodcutsby Susan Dugan

Denver fine artist and printmaker Leon Loughridge’s inner visual landscape arose growing up in

the rugged environment of Northern New Mexico, where his grandmother reveled in artistic circles. “That early ex-posure really helped develop my sense

interested in printmaking.” Back in Colorado, Loughridge began

printmaking in a home studio while working for a newspaper doing layout and paste-up. In 1998 he purchased his first letterpress and received immedi-ate recognition for his woodblock prints, which have been exhibited nationally and collected by multiple museums. He and his wife also own a gilding business, Dry Creek Gold Leaf, producing and restoring hand-carved, gold-leaf frames.

The woodblock prints that have carved his reputation and garnered crit-ical acclaim begin as quickly rendered watercolors painted outdoors. “As you’re sketching outdoors there’s this spon-taneous reaction to what you’re seeing in front of you. The challenge is to then capture that in the woodblock. My fam-ily’s from Denver so I’m a third-gener-ation Coloradoan. We have a very old cabin below Mount Evans that we are striving to save. We go up there on the weekends and hide away. I go hiking with my watercolor kit and pad — I call it my traveling studio — and I’m ready to sketch. When the rain showers start I close it up and run.”

In the studio, Loughridge refer-ences the sketches as a kind of roadmap. “They’re telling me what color schemes, what values to use, the compositional arrangements I responded to. The key then is to somehow instill in that wood-block some of that quick work that hap-

pened while I was sketching. Because as you’re sketching, there are distortions in the scene. You’ll see something that seems so important and unconsciously exaggerate it, which creates this emo-tional relationship and impact.”

The challenge comes in transfer-ring that present, fresh awareness to the intrinsically cumbersome process of printmaking. Loughridge uses some unorthodox printing methods that

combine historical and cultural tech-niques, picking and choosing among them to see what works best to distill the unique qualities of the Western and Southwestern terrain that so enthrall him. Currently working on an upcom-ing exhibit of large woodblocks for the Breckenridge Gallery, he conducts watercolor sketching expeditions in the

and feel for art,” he says. “Art was a great outlet for me as a child. And we spent hours roaming the countryside. The rule was you must be back for dinner. You end up with this deep appreciation for the environment. When I’m in the stu-dio, working on an image, that all comes back to me. I’m always trying to convey my relationship with what I have experi-enced out there.”

Loughridge attended the Colorado Institute of Art when John Jellicoe was director and bringing in a lot of fine art-ists. Later stationed with the army in Germany for three years in the 1970s, he traveled throughout Europe. “I did a study program with a German artist on Old Masters’ techniques and became : See PEOPLE on PAGE 26


City Council, Week One: Getting Down To Basicsby Paul KashmannCity Councilman, Denver District 6

My mantra every time I intro-duced myself to audiences large and small throughout

the recent campaign was “My name is Paul Kashmann and I am honored to be a candidate to represent District 6 on Denver City Council.” And it was those words that cycled through my mind on a continuing loop as I sat on the stage at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House on July 20, waiting my turn to take the oath of office to fill the seat to which I had been elected.

Looking out at the gathering of family, friends and random citizens there to salute their loved one, their candi-date, their friend or their city, I thought of all the people without whose help I would not have had the opportunity to make my way to this place and time. My indefatigable campaign staff and volun-teers deserve enormous credit for their hard work in the months leading up to Election Day. But the opportunity to serve would never have presented itself were it not for the loyal cadre — led by my long-time editor, Eileen Abbattista, graphic artist Tim Berland and a jackpot of dedicated office workers and writers — that worked with me for decades until a few short months ago in my previous career as publisher of this fine newspa-per. And I thought of my earliest role models who set me on the path lead-ing to the moment about to unfold my father, who worked six days a week and found time to serve our small town as a volunteer police officer and Little League umpire and my mother, who worked a mere five-day week, cared for home and hearth and led committees and chaired the PTA as I grew from boy to older boy.

But boyhood was long ago. The 24 years spent in my New Jersey hometown of Livingston have been far surpassed by my Colorado residence that began on Halloween night of 1971. Having com-pleted one long-time career, I was about to be given the go-ahead to enter a new arena filled with challenges and oppor-tunities some of which I could clearly foresee and some I am sure I cannot even yet imagine. I concentrated on my demeanor on stage so as not to mortify my children and grandchildren seated across the hall and on not stumbling when my time came and I strode across the stage to repeat the pledge delivered line by line by the Honorable Judge John Marcucci.

I am sure I beamed a bit at the post-inauguration reception, taking the chance to proudly introduce my family to my colleagues, some loyal support-ers and the seemingly endless stream of politicos and lobbyists that were kind enough to offer their congratulations

and their cards. Since then, I have successfully

negotiated my first two City Council meetings without injuring myself or others, been deluged with information on city agencies, commissions, ethics regulations and issues and set up my office (with my aides Valerie Kerns and Brent Fahrberger) on the fourth floor of the City and County Building. We are already beginning to address a growing flow of constituent concerns. Yes, I will be holding regular office hours at loca-tions in the district and will announce those in the next few days. You are wel-come to come downtown any time if you wish to grapple with the challenges of traffic and parking, but I will do my best to come to you when needed.

The rhythm of life can change quickly and as memorable and hum-bling and invigorating as Inauguration Day was, the pomp, circumstance, cel-ebration and hoopla quickly faded to gray the next morning, as I — along with Lt. Governor Joe Garcia, Mayor Michael Hancock, Fire Chief Eric Tade, Police Chief Robert White, Director of Safety Stephanie O’Malley and several other members of Denver City Council and the mayor’s staff — represented our city at the funeral for fallen firefighter John Whelan.

To be accorded the title of “digni-tary” at such a solemn occasion and to be escorted past many hundreds of uni-formed firefighters and police officers to special seating up front brought one thing to the fore with crystal clarity: I was not there as an individual and cer-tainly not as an individual worthy of special treatment. I was there as a repre-sentative of the government in which I was selected to participate and the con-stituents I was elected to serve. And to honor one of Denver’s bravest and most dedicated public servants, John Whelan, whom I pray will indeed rest in peace.

a series of steps you should take when faced with hailstorm damage. The first step in any hailstorm is safety. Seek cover and don’t try to protect your property or vehicle while in the throes of active hail as you could be seriously hurt. After the storm passes, do your best to protect your property and vehicle from further damage.

Next, get out your camera and a notebook because it’s time for a thoughtful property and vehicle review. Documenting the damage thoroughly immediately following a hailstorm can prove valuable when negotiating the claims process. Then, file an insurance claim in a timely manner. You might make an exception when damage is cos-metic and minimal since filing small claims repeatedly can increase your premium. You may decide to opt out of filing a claim when damages fall well below your deductible.

When ready to hire a contractor, “Get everything in writing from a rep-utable, local provider,” advises Walker. Licensed, insured and bonded vendors

can offer extended warranties and have more stringent obligations to deliver quality product. Investigation into years of experience, social media reviews and Better Business Bureau ratings (bbb.org) can be useful tools in identifying credible roofing and auto repair provid-

Remember, your agent is your insurance go-to and can provide you vital informa-tion about your damage and next steps,” reminds Barb Frank, State Farm Agent.

In extensive lab testing by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, resistive roofing products showed superior performance in hailstorm test-ing. Hail-resistant roofing can work well, especially in seasons like this one with repeated events. Although initially more costly, your insurance company will offer a premium discount when hail-resistant roofing materials are installed.

After weather events like the recent hailstorm, scammers hit the streets fostering fear and taking advantage of vulnerable populations. Giving money to anyone prior to repair completion is a red flag; this is simply not how the insurance claim process works. “Take a deep breath and if someone comes knocking on your door, check references and work through your insurance com-pany,” advises Frank.

According to Nick Guzzo at Denver Egress Window, homeowners are being charged three times normal costs for installing or replacing window wells due to water-related damage. “While we can

certainly give a homeowner a $6,000 window well, we can also help prevent basement flooding by improving window wells for closer to $2,000.”

We’re still in the midst of hail season so damage to personal property like a dented grill or battered landscap-ing can wait out the remainder of this season. On the other hand, damage such as water leaks need to be addressed immediately.

All homeowners and auto insurance policies differ, warranting a review prior to another weather event. Familiarity with your policy’s exclusions, endorse-ments, deductibles and claims processes is particularly important. For exam-ple, rising water and accumulated water around window wells are considered flooding. No standard homeowner’s, rent-er’s or automobile policy covers flooding, which must instead be handled via a spe-cial special federal agencies.

Swallows: The Perfect Mosquito Controlby Barbara Masoner Volunteer for Audubon Society of Greater Denver

If you’ve been by a lake or pond in Denver on a summer morning or evening, you’ve no doubt heard the

chatter of swallows as they dart about catching insects. You might have seen these aerial masters skimming the sur-face of the lakes, dipping their bills in

hours. Because they dine exclusively on insects, swallows only reside in the Mile High City during the summer months. Early May is generally when the swal-lows arrive in Denver, right when the insects start appearing. In early Sep-tember they head south. Some swallows travels as far as Argentina for the winter while others stop off in Central America. Unlike most song birds, swallows mi-grate during the day. They’ll gather in large groups for their long treks, seeking safety in numbers.

Here in Denver we have six mem-bers of the swallow family, some more common and easier to identify than others. For instance, the forked tail of the common barn swallow along with its rust-colored breast and deep blue back make it easy to recognize. In contrast, the more reclusive northern rough-winged swallow offers no identifying colors or tail shape, just a brownish to gray back with a whitish belly.

The cliff and barn swallows build their nests from mud on bridges and

under buildings’ eaves. Often several pair will nest together, forming a colony. These swallows are more egalitarian than many other species of birds. Both the male and female share in nest-build-ing responsibilities, incubating eggs and feeding the young. Occasionally, yearling barn swallows will help with the incuba-tion and feeding of their younger sib-lings. Cliff swallows have been observed laying their eggs in other cliff swallows’ nests. These covert activities require the nest raider to sneak into another nest and quickly lay her egg before the occu-pant returns. One swallow was observed laying her egg in less than 15 seconds. Some female cliff swallows have even been seen carrying an egg they laid in their nest to another swallow’s nest and depositing it. Though we may view such practices as a bird shirking her paren-tal responsibilities, it is a way for the species to hedge its bets. If something were to happen to one of the nests, the other nest would ensure a more diverse gene pool and thus healthier future generations.

Tree and violet-green sparrows nest in cavities such as abandoned wood-pecker holes, while bank swallows and northern rough-winged swallows nest in crevices in river banks. These type of nest sites are less of a given. For instance, in Denver, dead trees are gen-erally removed quickly to prevent prop-erty damage from falling limbs. This means less nesting sites for cavity dwell-ers. River banks can quickly be cut away during fl ooding.

Many of Denver’s swallows are common and can easily be viewed

the water to drink. Swallows’ long, nar-row wings and streamlined bodies allow them to make sharp turns as they fl y, and their large gaping mouths are perfect for scooping up hundreds of insects in a few where there are lakes, ponds and rivers.

However, according to the Breeding Bird Census, all swallow populations have decreased signifi cantly since 1980. A combination of factors has caused the loss of so many of our feathered friends, but the most signifi cant is the reduc-tion of habitat. In order to keep these wonderful insect-nabbers in our neigh-borhood, we need to preserve plenty of space for them to raise their young.

Denver Creates New Bike MapOn July 28, Denver created a new bike map, available both online and in print.

The map shows the city’s off-street trail system, the network of 39 miles of bike lanes and “sharrows” that have been added since the map was last updated. The sharrow designates where a bicyclist should ride to be outside of the adjacent parked cars’ "door zone." It also serves for bicycle route wayfi nding and provides a visual reminder that drivers and bicyclists are to share the road. Denver Public Works transportation planners also made the new map simpler and more compact, including helpful biking information such as:

• Rules of the road and courtesy on trails• Useful accessories for riding• Signaling left and right turns• How to load your bike on the bus and train• A guide to Denver’s green bike markings and what they mean Maps are available at denvergov.org/bikeprogram and the new maps will be

available around town starting this week at libraries, recreation centers, and through BikeDenver (bikedenver.org).

On July 28, Mayor Hancock and other city luminaries offi cially opened the Colorado Center Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge near I-25 and Evans Avenue. The bridge spans the highway between the Colorado Center RTD light rail sta-tion and adjacent neighborhoods. It demonstrates the city’s ongoing commit-ment to providing transportation choices and infrastructure improvements to help people get around the city, whether they walk, bike, drive or use transit. The bridge is long — 309 feet long — and was jointly paid for by Denver and federal funds.

Bridging the Gap

contests — and an artifi cial sand beach. Around 1914, the city began contract-ing out the supervision and suit rental, making the bathing beach “self-sustain-ing,” according to a contemporary city assessment.

Public concerts were as popular in the 1910s as they are today. Band shells were built in this period in some of the city’s parks. Boating was also popular. Ice skating was provided for, and indeed, artifi cial lakes were created for the pur-pose. Skating is an example of an activ-ity that continued for many decades, but ended in recent memory.

For anyone interested in Denver his-tory, I recommend paging through the magazines Denver Municipal Facts and The City of Denver. You’ll have to read with a somewhat critical eye, since these publications are public relations works. For instance, you’ll fi nd the same glow-ing description of a given park repeated in more than one issue. However, they are also absolutely crammed with infor-mation about the running of the city, what its citizens were up to — including fascinating police records — and above all what the city was hoping to be.

surrounding mountains. “I leave early and go out to an area

and wander around until something catches my eye or I react to a scene. I get a large sketch or two and come back and tack them on the wall to see if they’re going to make the cut. This one I’m working on is of the Ten Mile Range in winter. I have a watercolor sketch I did so now it’s about translating that into the woodblock process.”

Loughridge creates small woodblock studies. “I just attack them with reck-less abandon, slapping color on, cutting away, letting things happen. I’m trying to make all the mistakes on the little woodblocks before I get to the big ones.”

The approach delivers occasional epiphanies. “On this one I fi gured I can print the sky in two layers and get a much more luminous quality than if I printed it in one. So I’m patient, but I like to see things move along so when I become impatient, I’ll do a woodblock study and get it out of my system. Some of those woodblock studies really spar-kle and some go right into the circular bin.”

Along the way every color is hand-inked and the artist uses a reduction technique that harkens back to ear-lier eras. “In relief printing, the raised areas of a block receive the ink and are printed. The areas that do not print are carved away. Traditionally a multi-color woodblock has a block for each color. In making reduction woodblocks, I’m reducing the block in between each color by carving away. The benefi t is that it becomes very creative.” The drawback? “The minute I carve away on the block after the fi rst color run, I cannot reprint it. So when the edition is all printed I go through and count how many good prints there are and that’s the total number in the edition. Sometimes it all just falls together and sometimes the debate is more who’s going to win: me

or the woodblock?”Reduction printing originated in

China a thousand years ago, Loughridge says, and became popular during the Arts and Crafts movement at the end of the nineteenth century, a movement that greatly infl uences him, particu-larly as expressed through the work of Arthur Wesley Dow. Loughridge is also informed by Japanese prints. “I love their transparent quality. I print with very transparent glazes, always letting

Neighborhoods Build Community Through Social Eventsby Lucy Graca

If you moved to Denver to get lost in the crowd, become anonymous, you made the wrong move. Week in and

week out — especially in the summer — Denver’s neighborhoods hum with ac-tivities: picnics, stroller walks and jogs, wine, beer and food festivals. A list of them all for this month alone would go on for several pages, so here are just a few to give us a taste of the many fl avors of Lowry’s events

How about a movie? Or dinner and a movie? Or dinner and ice cream and a movie? Several neighborhood organi-zations sponsor a family friendly movie shown on a giant screen in their local park. Sometimes the movie is combined with a potluck dinner or, as in Baker Historic Neighborhood, an ice cream social that sends everyone home sleepy and sticky. Denver begs to remind us that adult beverages consumed in its parks may be only 3.2 % alcohol in non-

glass containers. If you prefer your beverages stronger

than that, or in a glass container, most of the organizations also sponsor occa-sional parties and happy hours at neigh-

Sometimes the movie is combined with a potluck dinner or, as in Baker Historic Neighborhood, an ice cream social, that sends everyone home sleepy and sticky.

Other sociable eating and drink-ing opportunities abound: Cherry Creek North combines art and food in its Art Feast on August 1; its Food and Wine Festival on August 8, offers a tour of neighborhood galleries, restaurants and wine tastings. For oenophiles in the Bonnie Brae neighborhood, a wine tasting group meets at different neigh-bors’ houses. Noting on its website that since Virginia Village has “a lot of people … who enjoy beer and homebrewing, as well as many people who enjoy gar-dening, we decided to combine the two and introduce the Virginia Village Community Hops Program.” The group swaps their homebrews at social events and hops garden tours.

Alamo Placita is taking advantage of its always-surprising main thorough-fare for the I Walk Colfax Gala on July 30. Lowry will hold a big indoor party inside the Wings Over the Rockies Museum on August 18. Neighborhood social events are not all cakes and ale, though.

LEON LOUGHRIDGE PULLING A PRINT FROM A WOOD BLOCK. Printing with wood blocks requires a separate pass for every color, and can take months to complete. PHOTO BY SARA HERTWIG.

University Park sponsors stargazing at Observatory Park, you can play bocce ball every Monday evening at Virginia Village’s City of Potenza Park and take a stroll with your stroller in Eisenhower Park every Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.

Most of the neighborhood organiza-tions have a presence on Facebook and Nextdoor and actively encourage their members to sign up. Lowry provides a downloadable app that includes a 2.2 mile neighborhood walk, but Rosedale-Harvard Gulch has adopted a more time-tested approach: block captains, who spread news and information in person.

Lowry’s Kurtzman sums it all up: “We do it all to bring people into this sense of community that we're striving for: creating a sense of neighborliness, safety and a good lifestyle.”

To locate the registered organi-zation in your neighborhood, look at the map at: denvergov.org/maps/map/neighborhoodorganizations.

the under color show through, which is very similar to the outdoor watercolor sketches I do.”

Some years ago Loughridge founded the publishing company, Dry Creek Art Press, and began working with poets to illustrate their work and produce hand-bound books in very small editions. “The process of putting a book together — from working with the poet, carving all the woodblocks, doing the layout, hand-printing all the images — takes about a year. It’s fun, exciting and a dif-ferent way to present my artwork. When there’s a book release, it usually sells out immediately.”

Loughridge has been teaming up with Santa Fe poet, John Macker, enabling him to once more immerse himself in the unique sensibility of Northern New Mexico that fi rst captivated him and continues to inspire. “The next book of poetry and woodblocks we’re now work-ing on is about the Rio Grande Gorge. We work really well together in that we choose a theme and sites and have very similar thoughts about the environment and how we react to it. Then he goes off in his direction and I go off in mine and it’s astounding how well they mesh. His poetry and verbal imagery is so very evocative. A bit edgy and a bit rough, a lot like the countryside itself.”

I love their transparent quality. I print with very transparent glazes, always letting the under color show through, which is very similar to the outdoor watercolor sketches I do.

Woodblocks evolve slowly, the artist says, and involve multiple layers. He again points to his work in progress. “Just to build the luminosity in the sky has taken fi ve color runs,” he says of a current print. “They’re very thin, trans-parent colors. Once the sky is done I can start building other areas in the compo-sition. I usually work light to dark so the sky and background come fi rst. There’s a lot of snow in the foreground here so I’ll start by building the warm glow in that.”

Large woodblocks can take a couple of months to print, and preparing for most shows takes at least eight and requires enormous patience. To relieve the tedium and enliven the journey,

borhood watering holes. For instance, the Platt Park People’s Association will hold its August happy hour at the Village Cork, while Lowry United Neighborhoods meets for Thirsty Thursdays about every two weeks. ”I tell the restaurants to be ready for 60 plus happy drinkers – they’re a great group and good fun,” says Sally Kurtzman, the organizer of Lowry’s social events.


Denver’s IMAGINE 2020 Looks Back After Successful First Year by Jordan Bishop Denver Arts & Venues

With much enthusiasm, an-ticipation and support from Mayor Michael B. Hancock, in

March 2014 the Denver Arts & Venues team unveiled IMAGINE 2020 — Den-ver’s fi rst cultural plan in 25 years. The purpose of IMAGINE 2020 is to provide Denver with a renewed sense of direc-tion in the promotion of arts, culture and creativity. July 2015 marked the fi rst full year of the plan’s implementation, and from the beginning Mayor Hancock

Over 5,000 people participated in developing a plan that is for Denver, by Denver. It makes a call to action to the entire city — policymakers, cultural lead-ers, arts patrons, artists and residents — to continue making arts, culture and creativity a defi ning characteristic of this great city. IMAGINE 2020 envisions what the future of arts, culture and creativity in Denver should look like. Yet, despite one year of positive impact, all of Denver’s residents must remain diligent in achiev-ing this together to 2020 and beyond.

Mayor Hancock, Arts & Venues and the Denver Commission on Cultural Affairs recently awarded the fi rst IMAGINE 2020 Fund that provides up to $5,000 to projects that advance the cultural plan. The fund was launched to support new, creative and innovative programs inspired by one or more of the seven vision ele-ments outlined in the plan and that fur-ther develops Denver’s creative landscape. The seven vision elements are integration, amplifi cation, accessibility, lifelong learn-ing, local talent, economic vitality and col-lective leadership.

Here are highlights of some of the great achievements made in the fi rst year of implementation:

Vision Elements: Integration, amplifi cation, accessibility and life-long learning. The speaker series and interactive workshop series was created to inspire implementation and offer a forum for advancing the plan. Over 1,400 attendees experienced these six events that featured experts across a variety of disciplines relating to the seven vision elements, all of which focused on cre-ative and cultural equity.

Vision Element: Integration. The

PS You Are Here grant was developed for creative placemaking and neighborhood revitalization initiatives. In its fi rst year, $40,000 in funding was awarded to eight community-led groups that presented projects to transform underutilized gathering spaces into valuable neigh-borhood assets.

Vision Element: Amplifi cation. VISIT Denver refreshed Denver365.com as the city’s main cultural resource for residents and visitors to view schedules, venues, upcoming events, public art and more in one location.

Vision Element: Lifelong learn-ing. Curious Theatre Company has an ongoing commitment to exposing youth to aspects of the creative theatre pro-cess. They launched Curious Teen Nights this year, giving teens an opportunity to see productions and to engage with the cast and peers during a meal before and after performances. To date, over 100 teens have attended performances from seven Denver area high schools.

The most crucial component to the success of IMAGINE 2020 is pursuing the plan as a collective effort. Denver residents are strongly encouraged to get involved and help continue to make arts, culture and creativity a defi ning charac-teristic of this great city. Residents are encouraged to go online, learn more about the cultural plan, share stories, tell Arts & Venues about new and upcom-ing programs, schedule an ambassa-dor to come and give a presentation about IMAGINE 2020 and subscribe to the plan’s quarterly newsletter to keep abreast of events and programming.

Denver Arts & Venues is the City and County of Denver agency respon-sible for operating some of the region’s most well-known facilities, including Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre, the Denver Performing Arts Complex and the Colorado Convention Center as well as overseeing the Denver Public Art Program, Create Denver, the SCFD Tier III granting process, the Arts Education Fund and other entertainment and cul-tural events such as the Five Points Jazz Festival, Urban Arts Fund and P.S. You Are Here. Go to artsandvenuesdenver.com.

The most crucial component to the success of IMAGINE 2020 is pursuing the plan as a collective effort. Denver residents are strongly encouraged to get involved.

and Arts & Venues have been committed to ensuring the cultural plan doesn’t just sit on the shelf.

Under the leadership of the Denver Commission on Cultural Affairs (an advisory board to Arts & Venues' cultural programs that oversees the activities and policies of the Public Art collec-tion), a blue ribbon panel of commu-nity leaders and Arts & Venues staff, the fi rst year of executing the plan has been strong. From initiating a phenomenally successful speaker series to launch-ing a neighborhood arts-funding pro-gram, Arts & Venues is demonstrating that IMAGINE 2020 is a living plan that invites all of Denver to engage and sup-port in its implementation and success.

Denver DaysMayor Hancock initiated Denver Days to provide city support for commu-

nity-building. This year, Denver Days runs from August 1 to 9. Neighborhood events planned during this period get:• Waived block party permit and park permit fees• Free street barricades for block parties• Waived insurance for block parties

The mayor kicked off registration for the event in June. The hope is that many neighborhood formal and informal groups will take advantage of the city’s support to hold local events of many varieties.

Above, the mayor greets a young resident at the Washington Park Denver Days garage sale, in 2013.

University Park News & Views

by Diana Helper

A fact that’s clearly understood:What happens in one neighborhoodHas come, is coming, or now occursIn ours and yours and yours and yours!

Yes, yes, you’ve heard that before, so what? So, you can see how other people handled things and

explain to them how you handled some-thing and all in all it’s sure better than sitting around griping and groaning and fretting and stewing. And E-Z as 1-2-3.

What’s up in UP? You note a lot of traffi c, or construction, or noise, or some safety concerns — yes, even here in stately historic UPark! Look in the latest newsletter or go to upcc.us and contact a likely neighbor to see what’s being done, share some ideas and discuss who might have more great thoughts!

Alert UP folks are asking about the University Park tennis courts: the Parks Department replied they’ll resurface them next year. The condition of trees along Buchtel Parkway: Parks said it’ll come in September to administer

TLC (tree-loving-care). Proper park-ing signage on East Asbury on South University: Coming! What about the two 5-story ½-block apt. excavations on South University? Two more signs are slated for the 1900 block of South Josephine, across from each other. Eek. We asked for no rear balconies (or roof decks!) on our side, for hooded light-ing and tons of parking! Tim, of Shaw Construction, says he’ll show us plans. They are in the process of asbestos abatement now.

Make the exciting leap to a group of neighborhoods from all over town, who have seen all sorts of problems and what happened when they did this or that. This is INC, Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation, that meets each month and welcomes everyone. Some city staffer may be on hand to answer ques-tions or take note.

Get to Warm Cookies of the Revolution (WCR), for great fun times laced with community building and information and history on the side. And cookies. WCR has joined INC, so between the two all sorts of neighborhoods and ages and topics can really be zeroed in on. If a joint term is needed – well, let’s see – Inter-Cookies of the Co-op Revolution? Warm Neighborhoods of the Revel-operation? OK, you try it!

You’ve heard of the sharing cul-ture — well, start sharing info and ideas! These INC and WCR opportunities and many more are listed elsewhere in The Profi le.

What’s going on at the University of Denver? Find out Aug. 21, 6-8p.m, at “Good Neighbors,” over at the Sturm Building on East Asbury (across from the tennis courts), Room 286. Park in adja-cent lot and use coupon no. 14651 at the kiosk. More sharing, as you tell DU what’s on your mind, too! Visit du.edu/community/visitors for info.

August is a good time to visit campus area restaurants and shops, during this lull before the fall quarter starts at DU. The proprietors welcome you! And even before that, children will be heading back to the eight (!) schools in or very near UPark, so do watch out for them as they eagerly walk or bike to school. Young Brains Crossing!

Hurry on over to UP’s free Band in the Park event Sat., Aug. 1 from 4-8p.m. at Observatory Park. Items for the UPCC Board meeting Aug. 4? Contact Traci Samaras, [email protected], or phone 303-282-7281.

And if you have news or views to share, contact Diana Helper, [email protected] or 303-733-4902.

mitted, the city sends out notices to registered neighborhood organizations. Requests for zoning changes also require a public hearing before the Planning Board, a meeting with the City Council Planning and Neighborhoods committee and a fi nal public hearing before the City Council.

PermittingA property owner can apply for con-

struction permits if the proposed proj-ect aligns with the property’s zoning. City staff review projects of all sizes for compliance with zoning and building codes before issuing permits. With a few exceptions, construction projects do not require public notice or a public hearing.

So, for neighbors interested in being a part of the conversation, the bottom line is that the best opportunity to do so is early on, as part of the planning and zoning processes.

Stay InformedThis fall, the CPD, in partnership

with Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation, will host the fi rst-ever Denver Citizens’ Planning Academy. The goal of the acad-emy is to empower residents, business owners and others with information so they can in and guide planning efforts

effectively both in their own neigh-borhoods and for the whole city. See “Citizens’ Planning Academy,” on this page.

You can also visit our website to fi nd up-to-date planning and zoning information about any property, take our survey, or sign up for our newslet-ter. Find plans for your neighborhood at DenverGov.org/planning, proposed zoning changes at DenverGov.org/rezoning and site development plans for major construction projects at DenverGov.org/maps.

Get InvolvedThere are many more ways to get

involved in shaping your community. Today you can participate in the I-25 and Broadway station area plan, which is creating a vision for the area around this critical transit station, including the former Gates Rubber site. Join us in 2016, when we’ll launch an update of the citywide Blueprint Denver plan and ask for input from all city residents. Plug in early to share your perspective and learn from the perspectives of others.

As our city continues to grow and change, it will take all of us to get this right — and we need you.

Japanese Beetles and Cool Season Cropsby Joan Hinkemeyer

August, the last full month of sum-mer, should have us pondering the distribution of our harvest

excess. This year most of us wish we could be fortunate enough to have such a problem.

Nature worked against our best green-thumbing efforts often and with vengeance. Many of our seedlings gal-

Although these nefarious little creatures have been destroying plant life in the humid East and Midwest for a while, they are relative newcomers to Colorado.

Last year it invaded my Virginia creeper and this year the insects shred-ded all the leaves in just two weeks. I’ve tried your remedies, also with no suc-cess. It’s mostly impervious to toxic chemicals, but there are reports of the effectiveness of neem oil and a natural remedy using chrysanthemums.

The insects are sluggish in early morning and dusk. Then it’s easy to shake them into a pail of hot soapy water. (Kids love doing this). I capture lots of them in a glass jar with an ounce of bleach in it.

For more information on these crea-tures and their breeding and overwinter-ing habits, check the CSU Extension fact sheet online (ext.colostate.edu). It will answer all of your questions and inform you of the insect’s life cycle. Maybe there will soon be a larger insect to con-trol them.

Q. My Ozark primrose (Oenothera macrocarpa) has been a reliable, unde-manding standby in my landscape for years. This year all my plants in various locations have been eaten by tiny black insects about the size of a pepper grain. How do I handle this problem safely?

A. Sprinkle red pepper or paprika over the plants. It will send your little black bugs elsewhere. This year’s exces-sive moisture coupled with intermittent hot spells has spawned hordes of unfa-miliar insects. Many will disappear or diminish when we have another drought year.

Q. The foliage on my peony plants was shredded by hail early in the season. The plants did bloom, but no new leaves emerged. The scraggly leaves are really unsightly. Can I cut them back now?

A. No, wait until the plants go into normal dormancy. It won’t be long. In the meantime, plant mums or other showy fall perennials near them to dis-tract you.

Q. I continue to plant lettuce and spin-ach after each of the hailstorms. When the last crop came up, all the plants went to seed before the plants were large enough to eat. Why?

A. Heat. Lettuce and spinach are cool weather veggies and will go to seed, regardless of their size. Plant some more now and enjoy them during all’s cooler days.

Q. How can I convince my neighbor that his regular use of Roundup is harmful to my children, his cats and our puppy?

A. You probably can’t, even if you tell him that the glyphosate alters a body’s

biochemical pathways, making it more potent in youngsters. It has been linked to cancer, diabetes and heart disease as well as autism and depression. The World Health Organization has declared it a probable carcinogen. Unfortunately, some folks think having a manicured lawn is the Eleventh Commandment.

Truly celebrate every leaf, fruit and vegetable you are able to harvest this August and rejoice at the incredible per-severance of plants.Old English proverb:If the 24th of August be fair and clear,Hope for a prosperous Autumn that year.

To August.

THE JAPANESE BEETLE HAS EXISTED IN THE UNITED STATES FOR DECADES, but has more recently spread into our region. Like most introduced species, it has no natural predators here to keep it in check.

Early August is the time to plant such cool weather veggies as lettuce, spinach, radishes, collards and kale. Plant in a sunny area and enjoy fresh greens with your ripe tomatoes.

lantly battled for life, trying to produce new leaves after each hail punish-ment. Weren’t you inspired by their persistence?

Of course, weeds and rogue grasses are also persistent. Continue to con-trol them since this year’s abundant moisture has made them even more aggressive than normal. They compete with your struggling invited plants for soil nutrients and you know which you prefer for your landscape.

If you were among the fortunate few to have dodged the damaging storms, be certain to share your produce. Food banks are really desperate for produce this year, as is Project Angel Heart. Then too, there are friends and neighbors who will also appreciate nutritious fresh pro-duce. Never waste food.

Early August is the time to plant such cool weather veggies as lettuce, spinach, radishes, collards and kale. Plant the seeds in a sunny area, protect them from the sun with floating row covers (also effective against early frost) and enjoy fresh greens with your ripe tomatoes.

Since we’ve been besieged by insects, familiar and not, this year, I’ve discovered a few interesting tidbits: Ladybug beetles eat up to 2,400 aphids in their life and spiders eat about 2,000 insects a year. Entomologists also say we should leave a few garden pests to lure beneficial insects to our spaces.

Q. Our grape vine leafed out very late this year. Now that it just seems to be thriving, some insect is eating the leaves. The insect has a metallic copper and green color. It flies and clusters of them feed together. We’ve sprayed with a vinegar/water solution and used red pepper with no results.

A. Unfortunately, the Japanese beetle has found your landscape.
