Soul-food eatery aims to nurture souls Anointed BBQ in Sheridan serves brisket, catfish, more BY IAN WARREN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

arriese “Mo” Jones opened Anointed BBQ & Soul Food in Sheridan in August 2016 and it has been booming ever since. The recipes are inspired by the deep south and Mo’s grandmother who taught him how to cook starting at age 8. He also credits his grandmother for teaching him the love that is in cooking and what comes of sharing it. He started and runs the nonprofit Hedges & Highway Ministries to help give back to the community. “I was on that side for so long; now that I’m on this I side, I have the opportunity to make a difference in somebody life, and that’s what this is about,” Mo says about helping others with his food. Along with taking nonperishable donations, he takes his food to Urban Peak on the first and second Sunday of every month, and cooks a meal for homeless youth. Mo also hosts a group titled Men’s Struggles. “They come here, they get to eat food … we get to talk about things we’re currently struggling with and things that we have struggled with in the past.” The group creates a space where he can break down the construct of masculinity and allow men to let out what they may not in other company.

Marriese “Mo” Jones thanks attendees for coming to the Spring Break Block Party on March 25. He said, “this is my ministry” and that Anointed BBQ & Soul Food will be hosting similar events weekly as part of their nonprofit Hedges & Highway Ministries. The event featured a table filled with donated toys, and families could take one per child. Attendees ranged from people who were planning on coming to eat at the restaurant to families in the neighborhood who saw it walking by. PHOTOS BY IAN WARREN

Mo pulls apart a sweet potato for a pie mix. Mo knows all his recipes by heart and will never be seen using a measuring cup. If you pass by the kitchen you may hear him singing while he cooks.

Mo greets Cassie Strade-Jones. The two met at Denver Rescue Mission. Mo builds a community around his restaurant through his nonprofit Hedges & Highway Ministries Outreach. The nonprofit makes donations to other organizations and provides food for people who are struggling. On the first and second Sunday of every month, “We take our food down to Urban Peak and we cook and feed about 58 people...we feed the staff and the homeless youth.”

‘The welcome home that Vietnam veterans have been waiting for’ Congressman hosts commemoration ceremonies for veterans

IF YOU GO… Seven additional Vietnam War 50th Commemoration Ceremonies will take place. The events are free and open to the public. The April 7 and April 12 ceremonies will take place 9:30-11:30 a.m. at Red Rocks Community College, 13300 W. 6th Ave. in Lakewood. The other dates, with time and locations to be announced, are as follows: June 1, July 6 and 21, and Aug. 3 and 17.

For Vietnam veteran Abe Alonzo, the March 24 ceremony honoring him and 53 others for their service in an unpopular and devastating war was long overdue. “We weren’t accepted or received after our tour in Vietnam,” said the 68-year-old Lakewood resident, who served in the Marines from 1968 to 1970. “We were never appreciated for the sacrifices we made. It was a tough time.” U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-7th District, has partnered with the governor’s office to honor men and women who served during the Vietnam era from Nov. 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, the beginning and end of U.S. involvement in the war. The commemoration ceremony is part of an ongoing series of events across the country leading up to the 50th anniversary in 2025 of American withdrawal from the conflict. Response to Perlmutter’s event, first announced in February, has been so overwhelming that his office expanded the number of ceremonies from one to eight, said Ashley Verville, Perlmutter’s director of communications. About 600 Vietnam veterans from across the state expressed interest in participating, she said. So seven more commemoration ceremonies have been scheduled through August, to keep the numbers small and the event more intimate. The first ceremony took place March 24 at Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood, to coincide

Evan Louis Totten, 75, a Parker resident who served in the Navy from 1964 to 1974, has his wife Janell pin on his lapel pin at a March 24 commemoration ceremony of the Vietnam War. It’s important that families are also recognized, he said, because they are veterans, too. “If it had not been for our loved ones at home,” Totten added, “we would not have been able to sustain ourselves.” PHOTOS BY CHRISTY STEADMAN with Vietnam Veterans Day, which is celebrated annually on March 29. Each of the 54 veterans received a lapel pin and a certificate of commendation. The commemoration does not distinguish between veterans who served in-country, in-theater or who were stationed elsewhere during the Vietnam War period. Vietnam was an unpopular war, said Jim Falk, 68, of Northglenn who served the in the U.S. Navy from 1969 to 1973. And many veterans returned home to disapproval and recrimination, rather than celebration. “People blamed the service men and women,” Falk said. “But it wasn’t their fault — they were just serving.”

Evan Louis Totten, 75, a Parker resident who served in the Navy from 1964 to 1974, remembers the hostility as well. “That lingers in the minds of all of us,” he said. “If it had not been for our loved ones at home, we would not have been able to sustain ourselves.” The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates there are 7 million men and women across the country still living who served during the Vietnam era. As of 2014, more than 127,000 are in Colorado. More than 58,000 people lost their lives in Vietnam and about 1,600 people are still missing, Brigadier Gen. John P. Rose told those at the March 24 event. “The bottom line is that we have not

forgotten,” he said. “We will not forget.” This event, specifically, lets every Vietnam veteran and his or her family know that their service is appreciated, said Jeanette Early of Aurora, a member of Gold Star Wives of America, a support organization for those whose spouses or children have died while serving in the Armed Forces. “It means so much to say welcome home,” she said. Because of unforeseen legislative obligations in Washington, Perlmutter was unable to attend the event, his wife Nancy said. But in an email, Perlmutter said the lapel pins symbolize the service and sacrifice of Vietnam-era veterans. “I am honored to be able to recognize these veterans and thank them for their service to our country,” he wrote. For most Vietnam veterans, this commemorative ceremony is a first, said Joe Lucero, 69, a Broomfield resident who served in the Army from 1970 to 1971. “It is,” he said, “a welcome home that we as Vietnam veterans have been waiting for.”

Denver Zoo welcomes a rare bird STAFF REPORT

Denver Zoo, coordinating with zoos across the country, has successfully bred a rare species of bird, the kea. Denver zookeepers are hand-raising the hatchling, Scarlet, at the zoo’s avian propagation center and she is expected to make a public debut soon. The kea (pronounced KEE-yah) can be found in the mountains of New Zealand and are one of the few alpine species of parrot in the world. In North America, 38 keas live in 11 zoos, and the breeding of the birds is coordinated through a species survival plan. Scarlet’s mother came from a zoo in Seattle and her father came from a zoo in Philadelphia. Scarlet is the first-ever successful hatching of the species for Denver Zoo, and zookeepers intend to place her back with her

VOICES Inspiring, affirming words add to beauty of beach

he past several months have been an extremely busy time in my life. And I am grateful for all of the work, opportunities, challenges, setbacks and people who have been WINNING placed in my path. WORDS The good news is that I was fortunate enough to take a short vacation on one of the Caribbean islands last week. The weather was perfect, the sand was soft, the water warm and inviting, the breeze Michael Norton singing through the palm trees, and all that combined with a good book was enough to help get me to that place of vacating all the tension, stress, and tiredness that had accumulated over the prior several months. That is, I thought it was enough, as it turned out I had one more blessing that would take place each and every day while relaxing on the beach. There were many locals on the island who walk the beach talking with the

guests and trying to sell their tours, fishing trips, snorkel trips, a ride or taxi into town, jewelry, aloe, and some other items that they carried with them. However, there was one local man who was selling foot massages. He carried a sign and his T-shirt read, “Just Feet.” Although I didn’t take advantage of a foot massage, many of the other guests did. However, what I did take advantage of was listening to Sam, as he walked the beach. As he walked, he would speak out loud. He wasn’t trying to sell his services, he was counting on his sign, his T-shirt, and word of mouth to bring him business. What he was saying out loud while walking were daily positive affirmations. He had a different word for each day we were there. Sam would say something like, “Today I am happy. All my thoughts and all my actions today will build upon my happiness. I will share my happiness with others hoping I can give them some of my heart and happiness.” And he would repeat this over and over again while walking. This took place every day. The next day Sam walked by saying, “Today I

am grateful, today I count my blessings instead of my curses, today I am grateful for my family, my country, the food I will eat, the people I will meet, today I am grateful.” Now if I were a cynic, I might have thought that this was just Sam’s way of getting the attention of the resort guests so that they would read his sign or T-shirt and request a foot massage. But the more I watched him, and the more he walked the beach away from the guests, he continued saying out loud, softly, almost in a whisper sometimes, but still proclaiming his positive affirmations out loud. He wasn’t holding them inside, he wasn’t keeping them to himself, he was just sharing what seemed very natural and a very big part of his life and reason for contentment and happiness. I was only there for several days, so I do not know how many positive words and affirmations Sam has in his affirmation bucket or in his positive word bank, But I do know that happiness, gratitude, contentment, love and forgiveness were the words I heard Sam use. I don’t know that I had a favorite as they were all speaking directly to

me, but I think the most memorable was his positive affirmation about love. Sam was causally and peacefully walking through the sand and saying, “Today I choose love. I choose to love others as I have been loved. I choose to love even those who do not love me. I hope that someone may hear or see my love today and that it somehow makes a difference in their lives. Today I choose love.” And he recited it over and over again. Sam’s positive affirmations added to what was already a relaxing vacation, and his words reminded me just how powerful the spoken word is, especially when we are using them to positively affirm ourselves or others. So how about you? Do you have a positive word bank or affirmation bucket you can draw upon that drives your belief system for each day? It doesn’t have to be a big list or large bucket, maybe you just have a few “go-to” words that inspire you. My encouragement is that you try speaking them out loud, softly, almost a whisper if it gives you greater comfort, but to SEE NORTON, P5

tions kept improving. But moving half a ton of long-playing albums and long-playing books is not a good time. Neither is driving a rental truck (1975) from Goleta, California, across the desert to Mesa, Arizona, when you don’t really know how to double-shift, and it sounds like it whenever you try. I arrived in Denver on a Thursday in 1977, had a faculty meeting on Friday, found an apartment on Saturday, moved in on Sunday, and started teaching on Monday. I couldn’t do that now, and I don’t know how I did it then. A column in another paper titled “How to say good-bye to a house” started all of this. I don’t want to say good-bye to my house. But someday I won’t have a choice, if I can no longer climb the stairs. The builder didn’t do us any favors. The ground settled, and so did driveways and porches.

The cheap-o sump pump exploded. The basement flooded. The cheap-o dishwasher exploded. The hardwood flooring was ruined. Most of the house, except the walls and floors, has been renovated, and in 2003 I added a room. I swapped all of the broomstick trees with real trees, added yard sculptures, and made it look fine on the outside. I have done the same thing on the inside. Paintings are all over the place, stacked and leaning. It looks like a storeroom. It’s unconventional, agreeable, and suitable for the likes of me. If the walls could talk. There have been girlfriends and drunks and dogs and disagreements and quarrels and “The best part of breaking up is when you’re making up,” and hearing songs for the first time that still get to me, and mischief, and answering the phone when my sister called.

Denver Auto Show roars into downtown BY DON BAIN SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Most Denverites spend far more time commuting than they do in church – just under five hours a week in five days, local research says. That adds up to 10 days a year just getting to and from work spent in your car without counting shopping trips, family visits, leisure outings and all other driving requirements. With that in mind, it’s a good time to look over the ever-evolving automobile market at the Denver Auto Show, which runs April 5-9 at the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St., Denver. Now in its 115th year, the Denver Auto Show is the nation’s third-oldest auto extravaganza, preceded only by similar events in New York and Chicago. For five days, attendees can check out their favorite cars, learn about technical specifications, talk to media representatives and even play them against each other by asking tough and pointed questions. More than 500 vehicles will be on

The ever-popular Camp Jeep returns to the Denver Auto Show to allow show attendees the experience of extreme offroading on the show floor. COURTESY PHOTO display — from the frugal new Hyundai Ioniq to the bodaciously seductive 2017 McLaren 570S and absolutely everything in between. Another highlight is the local debut of the 2018 Ford Mustang V8 GT. But whatever your taste runs to – whether it’s commuters, sports cars, pickups, SUVs, wagons or muscle cars – there’s bound to be something to suit your taste.

Once again, Camp Jeep returns, giving visitors the chance to experience the brand’s legendary off-roading capabilities right in the convention center. Travel uneven ground, climb rocks and hills to get a subjective feel for just what a Jeep could do for you. If you’re a motivated buyer looking for a new car, you can test drive a vehicle from Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ford, Jeep, Mazda, Ram or Toyota during daylight hours right on site. As Tim Jackson, CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association, puts it: “This is the best place to see your favorite car lines under one roof, to talk with factory and dealer representatives in a no-pressure environment, while comparing prices and features. You’re welcome to sit in the cars, pop the hoods, inspect the trunk and kick the tires!” Among the exotic supercars expected to make the show are models from McLaren, the Lamborghini Huracan, the Maserati Levante & Ghibli — and possibly the Aston Martin DB11. Last year there were also entries from

Bentley and some fine Jaguars, thanks to Sill-Terhar Motors of Broomfield. Other likely notables include the Audi R8 Spyder and the Nissan GT-R. Muscle cars are bound to include a whole string of tricked-out Corvettes, the new Mustang and a bevy of HEMIpowered offerings from Dodge/Chrysler. Race fans will like the appearance of NASCAR racecars, namely Martin Truex Jr.’s Furniture Row #78, a Toyota Camry; Eric Jones’ #77, also a Camry; and Joey Gase’s Donor Alliance #52, a Chevy Camaro. And the younger set will appreciate the opportunity to race a drone through an obstacle course using a remote control, perhaps providing a start to a military or commercial career. “This is a great place to see all of the models of interest to you under one roof,” said Z. James Czupor, principal of the InterPro Group that handles public relations for the Denver Auto Show. “Walk and browse the vehicles with no pressure – there are no sales at the Colorado Convention Center.”

Ballet company joins with band to examine nation’s divisions BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

“Divisions,” is a new production by Wonderbound contemporary ballet company and nationally known hip-hop band the Flobots — both involved in community activism through the arts. It will play in three metro Denver venues between April 14 and 30. Choreographer Garrett Ammons and his wife, Dawn Fay, began with the company in Denver in 2007, then called Ballet Nouveau, now called Wonderbound. They have made a practice of collaborat-

IF YOU GO “Divisions” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. April 29, 2 p.m. April 30 at the Newman Center for Performing Arts, 2344 E. Iliff Ave., Denver, at the University of Denver (303-871-6200, newmancenterpresents.com) ing with other artists. “With our country more divided than ever, it’s important to come together through art,” Wonderbound says. “This production is inspired by how art has impacted great revolutions in history and

costuming will be based on clothing worn by revolutionaries through time.” Ammons, known for his ability to work with other artistic groups, including Paper Bird, poet Michael J. Henry, illusionist Professor Phelyx, DeVotchka’s Tom Haggerty and musician Ian Cooke, has teamed this year with Flobots lead singer Jamie “Jonny 5” Laurie and the band, as they were also completing a new album following several years of effort. “Our job is all the more important as social conflict increases,” said Ammons.

The new Flobots album, “NOENEMIES,” is due on May 5 and the dance portion of the production was created from the new music. The album includes the voices of a gospel choir and intends to give listeners a sense of hope. “We hope `Divisions’ is a thoughtful and compelling look into the soul of a nation stirring with unresolved questions — What are we mobilizing for? Who are we mobilizing against? Why are we scared of each other? As more and more people take to the streets, these questions are more vital now than ever,”

Laurie said. The socially active band started Youth on Record, which, with help from working musicians, trains at-risk students to develop career skills while staying in school. They work from a new studio located in the Mariposa community in Denver, with support from the Boettcher Foundation. Performances will be at the Performing Arts Complex at Pinnacle Charter School in north Denver, at Parker’s PACE and at the Newman Center for the Performing Arts, between April 14 and 30.

Competition puts students, robots to the test Regional event draws schools from around Colorado BY MIKE DIFERDINANDO MDIFERDINANDO@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Robots race at each other in a metallic frenzy, scooping up balls, gears and sprockets as quickly as they can. The collected parts are brought back to their stations and the fuel is loaded before the propellers can start to turn. “The idea is that they’re trying to get their steamship to take off,” said William Schneider, president of Colorado FIRST Robotics. “The more skilled robots will shoot 60 balls up into the top netting. It’s real fun to watch those.” The Colorado regional of the three-day, national FIRST Robotics Competition took place at the University of Denver March 23-25 and pitted students from across Colorado in a robot-building contest that matches their creations in different games. FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology —

Robots compete at the Colorado regional of the FIRST Robotics Competition March 24 at the University of Denver. MIKE DIFERDINANDO is a nonprofit group based in New Hampshire that works to spark youths’ interest in science and technology. Teams advance in the tournament, with winners gaining a place at the national competition in Houston later this year. Each team has six weeks to

build their robot and the game they play is different every year. Teams start with kits of basic parts, but are allowed the freedom to customize. “A senior engineer could play with it for years,” Schneider said on the second day of the competition. “It’s like the

best erector set ever.” Licia Lamb, a senior from the team representing STEM High and Academy in Highlands Ranch, said her team spent 12 weeks designing, testing and building their robot. “I like that our students are the ones doing it,” said Lamb, who was competing in her

sixth FIRST robotics competition. “There’s no mentors. It’s students learning and students doing.” In between rounds of competition, the robots and their engineers spent their time in the pits. “Think of it like NASCAR,” Lamb said. “This is our maintenance area.” Austin Briggs, a senior from the team representing Legacy High School in Broomfield, said he likes that the competition allows for creativity. “It’s such a complex game, we really wanted to boil it down to a simple solution to that,” Briggs said. Legacy focused on gear intake. “We did a lot of geometry testing on that to make sure the lever (for gears) is at the right angle,” Briggs said. Legacy played 12 practice matches the first day and then came back to the pits to make adjustments before the start of competition. “That’s a huge thing with this competition,” Briggs said. “You recognize an issue that you have and you come up with the solution. It’s a really fast-paced environment.”
