The National Western Stock Show Complex in Denver recently hosted more than 150 events for thousands of horses and horse lovers alike during the 2017 Rocky Mountain Horse Expo. Throughout the weekend of March 10-12, nine arenas and event spaces simultaneously hosted horse-related clinics and events. Classes regarding riding, SEE HORSES, P2

Top-to-bottom efforts to reform Denver Public Schools are showing positive results, helping the district post the second highest rates of academic growth among large U.S. districts, a new report says. The mostly laudatory report from Education Resource Strategies, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit, also noted continual challenges facing the 92,000-student district, including widening achievement gaps separating students living in poverty from their better-off peers. Between 2009 and 2013, DPS trailed only Lincoln, Nebraska, in academic growth among U.S. districts with more than 25,000 students, the report said, citing federal data. Across all grades and subjects, DPS performance improved almost an entire grade level, the report said. Academic proficiency increased across all groups of students, and in both district-run and charter schools, it said. The report credited DPS for how it manages schools with different governance structures, saying DPS has avoided “the unplanned under-enrollment and performance degradation in district schools that too often accompanies charter growth.” However, the report also notes that DPS has taken steps backward in trying to achieve its goal of having 80 percent of students in highquality classrooms by 2020. For DPS, high quality means schools that rank “blue” or “green” on its color-coded performance system. As of 2013, DPS was on track to achieve its SEE SCHOOLS, P2

Senate sends amended electronic records bill to House ASSOCIATED PRESS

The state Senate has approved a bill directing government agencies to deliver requested public records in electronic formats that can be read by computer. The Republican-led Sen-

ate voted 21-14 on March 22 to send Senate Bill 17-040 to the House. Sponsored by Sen. John Kefalas, D-Fort Collins, the legislation seeks to make it easier for citizens to analyze information in public documents they obtain under the Colorado Open Records

Act. It requires agencies to provide information in most cases in computer-readable formats. “In a day where people have less and less faith in their government, it falls on us as elected officials to make the government more open and

goals, with 60 percent of students in highquality seats. That has since dropped below 50 percent, in part because of a shift to new state tests and changes to DPS’s rating formula, the report says. The report said DPS’s goal may need “recalibration” as a result. DPS Superintendent Tom Boasberg recently told Chalkbeat he still thinks the 80 percent goal is achievable. Karen Baroody, managing director of Education Resource Strategies, said the organization has worked with DPS in the past and approached the district about the study because it has “systematically tried to retool every part of its system” and seen results. DPS cooperated with the report but did not commission it, a district spokeswoman said. The work was funded by the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Foundation. Baroody said Denver’s changing demographics cannot explain the uptick in academic growth since 2009, saying the trend of more affluent families moving in has grown more pronounced more recently. To better serve high-needs students, the group urged DPS to strategically place “proven models and operators” of schools and adopt policies “that encourage integration in gentrifying neighborhoods.” Baroody said district-run schools that are growing increasingly white and middle class could adopt preferences for higher-needs students much like charter operators do. Speaking broadly of integration efforts, she said, “I don’t think anyone in the country has figured out how to do this.” The report also credited DPS for its “willingness to put teeth into accountability systems by closing chronically underperforming schools.” However, considerable effort should be invested in helping struggling schools, Baroody said. “In reality, you don’t want to keep closing and opening schools,” she said. “It’s like hiring a teacher and saying if they’re great, great, and if they aren’t, fire them. But brand-new teachers need help and support to get better and most schools, if given the right support, will get better.” District critics will take issue with many of the report’s findings. For example, the report says DPS investment in changing how it evaluates teachers and school leaders “seems to be paying off.” It cites increased rigor in teacher evaluation and high retention of strong performers coupled with relatively higher attrition of low performers. In the ongoing election for leadership of the Denver teachers union, the teacher evaluation system, known as LEAP, has come under heavy criticism.

training, carriage driving and equine health were discussed at length. Among the 45 clinicians, favorites included Colorado-based horse trainers Julie Goodnight, Justin Dunn and Cody Harrison. Many classes included a “Ride with the Experts” portion, in which people could bring their horses to be personally evaluated and worked with as an audience watched and took note of the new skillset being learned. Some classes were small clinics focused on specific skills that featured several riders and audience members. Some of these classes included controlling a horse’s speed or loading a horse into a trailer. Justin Dunn, from Guffey, Colorado, taught a clinic about how to establish clear communication with a horse. “Never use fear or pain to force a horse to submit,” Dunn said. “We ask the horse to consistently stay the same. We give him every opportunity to understand what we are asking… We want them to quietly respond to the questions we are asking.” Julie Goodnight, of Poncha Springs, Colorado, taught a class called “Tips on how to ride til’ you’re 90.” “Riding is not something you will ever stop learning,” Goodnight said. “You will never know everything there is to know about the sport.” Other events herded larger crowds to the event arena. The Mane Event, a crowd pleaser music and light spectacle focusing on the diverse ability of the horse, drew crowds for all three nights. Many audience members and po-

accessible for regular people,” Kefalas said in early March after the bill was approved by a Senate committee. The Senate amended the bill to have CORA apply to the judiciary, which courts have ruled is not covered by the act.

Majority House Democrats oppose the amendment, saying the judiciary has its own public records rules. But House co-sponsor Dan Pabon, a Denver Democrat, says House lawmakers will carefully consider the amendment.

VOICES Not to give anything away, but let’s go all out on awards

am polishing my tuxedo. Jennifer’s backless, strapless gown is out of pawn. We’re getting ready for the Awards Awards. Pardon my redundancy, as W.C. Fields would say. We have awards for everything else, so why not awards for awards? There are two or three ceremonies every month, for movies, songs, zookeepers, and shoe clerks. The Awards Awards pools all of them. It makes perfect sense. Sooner or later each and every one of us will be handed a trophy. As an educator I made an important discovery. Give everyone an “A,” and everyone goes home happy. Best Jimmy Stewart Impersonator, Best Achievement in Achievement, Best Achievement in Underachievement, Best Methodist Named Carl. Best Acceptance Speech. Best Worst Acceptance Speech. Best Musical. Best Musical Music. Awarding awards goes back 40,000 years. We know that a Neanderthal named “Buzz” picked up a trophy for Best Grunting

Around the Females. From there it spread to Greece, and the first Olympiad. And now? I have heard rumors about an awards channel, like Turner Classic Movies. Twenty-four hours a day. Non-stop ceremonies, new ones, old ones. Who wouldn’t want to see Sacheen Littlefeather accept on behalf of Marlon Brando again? And maybe catch up on what she is doing these days? She turned 70 last November. Upcoming: Best Sports Nicknames. I’m rooting for Thomas “The Angry Salad” Romaine, a St. Louis middleweight. Jennifer is rooting for Bill “Old Fish ‘n’ Chips” Flounderman, a utility infielder in the Appalachian League. Best Ethical Politician was canceled because there are none. Best Sideline Reporters? Same thing. Upcoming in June, appropriately: Best Best Man. Then we can look forward to Best Trophy. I like the Stanley Cup. It has the names of the winning teams, their coaches, players, and dentists engraved on it.

Jennifer thinks that Floyd of Rosedale is tops. That’s the trophy they give to the winner of the Iowa-Minnesota football game every year. The Hawkeyes beat the Golden Gophers last year, 14-7. Best License Plate is right around the corner. The Automobile License Plate Collectors Association gives out the annual award. Colorado won in 1975. Michigan won in 2013 with its tasteful montage of the Mackinac Bridge, a Woodward Avenue hot dog, and lyrics of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” “Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings, in the rooms of her ice-water mansions.” The album version of the song is 6:32, but I always think it takes a week. It’s up for Best Disaster Song, and I think it has a real shot. Its stiffest competition might be that catchy tune about the Kansas City Hyatt Regency walkway collapse. “Krakatoa, East of Java” is up for Best Worst Movie Title, in part, I think, because Krakatoa is west of Java.

Actually, let your babies grow up to be cowboys — or anything else they want WINNING WORDS

ell maybe Willie Nelson said it slightly differently: “Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys / Don’t let ‘em pick guitars or drive them old trucks / Let ‘em be doctors and lawyers and such / Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys / ‘Cause they’ll never stay home and they’re always alone / Even with someone they love.” I heard Willie’s song the other day and I reflected on what my answer might have been when I was asked the question all children are asked at some point, “What is it you want to be when you grow up?” The question might come from a teacher or a parent or grandparent, but at some point, we are all asked the question. There are some statistics that point to the fact that approximately 30 percent of people end up working in careers they dreamed of as children. So what happens to the other 70 percent of us? Maybe our dreams and desires changed as we matured or went through school and found other interests.

Maybe when we graduated there were no job openings in our field or in the area where we lived, so we were forced to find other work. In some cases, even for some of us well into the latter part of our careers, we never quite knew what we really wanted to be or do. I don’t remember exactly what my answers were when I was a young boy and was asked what I wanted to be, but somewhere I do remember seeing myself following in the footsteps of my grandfather. But what I do remember is the feeling I had when I was already well into my own career and asking my own children what they wanted to be when they grew up. And I remember their answers. I loved to ask them the question over and over again and as they aged their answers did change, but their dreams did not, and that is the point. I believe our responsibility to our children, our nieces and nephews, grandchildren or people we mentor at any level is to help them learn to dream and help give them guidance as they go through their

journey. Of course we want the very best for those in our care, and we can never give in to forcing our hand upon where their dreams will take them. It would be wonderful if they became doctors and lawyers and such as Willie Nelson sings, as long as that is what fulfills their own goals and dreams. Here’s the other point. We see more and more that our children are being raised in an era of social media and are receiving input from many sources with a variety of views. Without proper guidance, social input and influence could either work to shape the future of our children or rob the true passions of our children. It is so important that we make sure to counter balance the social input with good questioning and listening skills so that we can give them the very best chance at becoming and/or doing whatever it is they would like to do.

Distilling the best parts of life Colorado’s spirits scene sees growth, diversification BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

lot of ingredients are required to distill good, quality spirits. But one requirement is at the root of them all — passion. “I went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn from the distillers there,” said Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope Distilling in Centennial. “It’s really cool to see people’s reactions when they try our drinks for the first time and have their preconceived notions changed.” A distiller’s passion can be tasted in the dedication to the craft, quality of the spirits and how well the product is received. “I’ve been distilling for 26 years,” said Stephen Gould, owner and distiller at Golden Moon Distillery and Speakeasy. “To make our drinks, we bring in ingredients from all over the world, and the finished product goes out to countries like the United Kingdom, Italy and Denmark.” Distilling is the process that purifies alcohol by heating it into vapor, which is then condensed through cooling. The independent brewery scene in Colorado has been steadily growing for decades, and that same approach is now following suit in the world of distilling. According to the Colorado Distillers Guild, the state is home to more than 50 distillers making everything from whiskey and gin to kümmel and aquavit. In this growing industry, there’s all kinds of room for experimentation and variety. “We’re Colorado’s only producer of aquavit, which is a Scandinavian spirit,” said Ryan White, owner of Devil’s Head Distillery in Englewood. “We also do vodka and gin, but we

Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope Distilling in Centennial, explains how his company makes its vodkas, rums, gins and whiskeys. Downslope was founded in 2009. PHOTOS BYLARKE READER

wanted to make something that would differentiate us from everyone else.” Local distillers’ commitment to quality, often locally-grown ingredients, is one reason more people are becoming interested in the industry, White said. “There’s a greater interest from the public in locally-sourced goods,” he said. “There’s been a renewed focus on supporting local businesses, which has also been beneficial.” Although people have grown more familiar over time with the process for making beer and wine, the steps and nuances of distilling are still unfamiliar to many, which lends the process an appealing bit of mystery. But one of the goals of distilleries is to educate people, so tours are often offerred to show how the drinks are made. Downslope Distilling takes education a step further and offers a distilling class once a month. Abate said he’s had students from all over the world learn about spirits and some of the ways they’re made. “More and more people are coming in these days with at least some

knowledge of how the process works,” he said. “This field is really booming, and groups like the Colorado Distillers Guild are helping get the word out.” Most distilleries have tasting rooms, so visitors can sample the finished product. Golden Moon opened its speakeasy three years ago to provide customers a classic cocktail bar vibe to try the distillery’s many offerings. Bars like the Schoolhouse Kitchen and Libations in Olde Town Arvada use locally made whiskey to enhance their collection of more than 1,100 whiskeys. “Colorado’s whiskey scene is exploding right now,” said Lane Abshire, Schoolhouse’s resident whiskey nerd. “We have a lot of demand for local stuff. All the time people come in looking for Colorado whiskey.” Many of these creations are being recognized in and out of Colorado. Last year, Golden Moon’s single malt whiskey won a double gold medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Devil’s Head’s aquavit was recognized at the Denver International

One of the stills used to make whiskey at Centennial’s Downslope Distilling. Mitch Abate, distiller at Downslope, went to Kentucky and Tennessee to learn some of the secrets of making whiskey.

DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME In Colorado, it is legal to brew up to 100 gallons of beer and wine for personal use, but it is illegal to distill spirits without a federal permit or taxes. There is no Colorado statute explicitly prohibiting stills, but it is illegal to use a still to make spirits for consumption or resale without a license. The state does offer a distillery pub license to make spirits legally.

Spirits Competition, and Downslope’s Ould Tom Gin received the silver at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Unfamiliarity about spirits and a fear of asking questions may have kept people from trying spirits, but Gould wants to change that. “What I do is not about excluding people, but making things people enjoy,” he said. “We want to welcome everyone here to learn what they like.”
