MY NAME IS

DOC HOLLIDAY

Spitting image of Old West gunfighter Coming out west I grew up in Detroit, and I always wanted to head out west. I just happened to pull up in this town, and I didn’t know nobody. But I liked it here, so I stayed. That was ’03 or so. A buddy of mine owned a bar on Main Street, and I was sitting at the end of the bar, and this fella said “man, that guy looks just like Doc Holliday!” That’s the Old West gunfighter, of course. That’s the name I go by now. I went up to Glenwood Springs, where the real Doc lived, and up there in the Denver Hotel people were lining up to take pictures of me. Good people and bad I used to belong to a motorcycle club back in Detroit, and when I told them I was leaving, they beat me up pretty good. They don’t like when people leave. You don’t break ties — they frown on that. I keep my tattoos pretty covered up out here. I get along real well here. I go to the bars around here, and people buy me drinks. I’ve been good to people, so they’re good to me. Music man I play harmonica and piano. I mess

Get me playing the blues and I’m just in heaven. The first time I played on stage was here in Littleton. I was shaking like a leaf. I started playing with the band and it was just magic. My mom taught me to play — she used to play fiddle for Chet Atkins. You put a harmonica in my hands, and I just go wild. Believe it or not, I can only play a honky-tonk piano.

Vanessa Ursini shares photos of her injuries on social media after a man attacked her while she was walking her dog on a popular trail near South Platte Park in Littleton. The incident occurred on July 25 and the suspect is in custody. COURTESY PHOTO

‘It simply wasn’t my time to die’ Littleton woman speaks out about attack along river trail BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Vanessa Ursini knew it wasn’t her time to die. Early on the morning of July 25, she was walking her dog on a loop she was familiar with near the Platte River trail, close to her home in Littleton, when a man attacked her from behind, she wrote in a public Facebook post. After surviving a sexual assault that she said nearly killed her, she is speaking out to remind others of how important it is to be aware of their surroundings. “This was the worst day of my life but I knew I had to fight — it simply wasn’t my time to die,” Ursini, 29, wrote in the Facebook post on July 26. “I am lucky to be alive, so please have a plan in place to protect yourself from whatever may be out there.” The suspect, Johnny Dewayne Harris Jr., 48, who police say was homeless, was taken into custody shortly after the incident. He told police he attacked Ursini, according to the arrest affidavit. Court records show he has been charged with multiple felonies, including first-degree kidnapping and sexual assault. Wearing a tie and button-down shirt, Harris appeared in court July 31 at the Arapahoe County Justice Center, where a preliminary hearing was set for Oct. 15. He remains in the Arapahoe County jail without bond. The Texas state offender registry shows Harris is a registered sex offender who was first convicted of sexual assault in 1999 in Texas. A post in April on the Denver Police Department’s Facebook page said he was wanted in connection for an attempted sexual assault. On the same post, Denver police said Harris had a criminal history

ranging from sexual assault to DUI to harassment. Colorado Community Media’s policy is not to name victims of sexual assault without their permission, which Ursini gave when contacted. She wrote in her Facebook post that she wanted to share her story to increase awareness among friends and family. “I am putting this post up to remind each and every one of you, please be aware of your surroundings at all times. Even if you have been on your local path, your grocery store parking lot, or anywhere 100 times, danger can exist anywhere,” she wrote. Cyclists apprehend suspect, help victim Ursini was walking her dog about 8:30 a.m. on July 25 on the Mary Carter Greenway, an eight-mile trail that runs along the South Platte River from Chatfield State Park to Englewood, according to a news release from the Littleton Police Department. The area is near Reynolds Landing, off South Santa Fe Drive, between West Mineral and West Bowles avenues in Littleton. It was a loop Ursini took regularly, she wrote in her Facebook post. She passed a man she recognized from the day before. “He didn’t make eye contact with me and I got a very strange vibe,” she wrote. Apparently knowing where she was headed, the suspect cut through the woods to get to the other side of the loop, she wrote. She passed him and said, “Excuse me.” “About 30 seconds later I noticed him very close behind me,” she wrote. “I saw he had a rope in his hands and at that point he was too close to try and put any distance between us.” The suspect put a rope around Ursini’s neck, threatening to kill her if she screamed, according to the arrest affidavit. He then dragged her into the bushes. Ursini fought back, knocking off the suspect’s glasses, the affidavit SEE ATTACK, P5

STERLING RANCH WELCOMES FIRST COMMERCIAL TENANTS

The latest news from Sterling Ranch, announcing new locations for the Grist Brewing Company and Atlas Coffee coming online at the Sterling Center this Fall, has many in the community thrilled to soon have community gathering spaces nearby.

“We have had a tremendous buzz around the neighborhood since the Grist and Atlas news was announced last week,” said Kate Kunzie, the new Community Manager on staff with the Sterling Ranch Community Authority Board. “It’s amazing how such simple things coffee and craft beer mean so much to Coloradoans. It has really helped our families get excited about their futures here in a whole new way.”

Grist, a brewery which has focused its attention on the southwest Denver market, has become a real name in the Douglas County area and made for a natural partner for Sterling. The brewery will open on the site later in the year due to regulatory requirements and approvals at the County and State levels.

Atlas Coffee has a reputation for providing sustainably-sourced and community-minded coffee and will also be serving food at the Sterling Center location. According to Atlas Coffee’s Owner, Brad Heykoop, the Sterling Ranch leaders, as well as vocal leaders from the business community, all helped encourage him to embrace the idea of expanding to this new location.

“We felt aligned with their culture, and their vision for this community, and as we learned more, we became even more excited to become a part of Sterling Ranch,” he said. UCHealth To Open First

The first tenant announced for the Sterling Center in 2017, UCHealth, will also be the first tenant to open

its doors this Fall. With 8,000 square feet of space on the building’s ground floor, UCHealth will begin providing Urgent Care, Primary Care, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Medicine services at the location beginning on September 4th. “UCHealth aims to provide accessible, community-based healthcare services.

The Sterling Center, located at the corner of Titan Road and Eagle River Street in Littleton, CO will open with a string of great tenants this Fall. The building was designed by architecture firm BurkettEUA and built by Mortenson Construction. CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

to 8 PM and from 8 AM to 6 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. The facility will also offer laboratory and X-ray services for a wide variety of healthcare needs.

For us, getting on board with Sterling Ranch early was an easy decision, as it is clear these new residents, and the neighbors of the greater Roxborough and Highlands Ranch areas will all benefit from a new healthcare option off of Titan Road,” said Diane Cookson, President of the Highlands Ranch Hospital, the regional

sister hospital for the Sterling Ranch UCHealth satellite. Once fully staffed, the site will host a team of 10-15 UCHealth staff members during the week. Appointmentbased Primary Care will be available from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday. Physical Therapy appointments will also be offered Monday through Friday between 8 AM and 4:30 PM. Urgent Care Services will be available without appointments Monday through Friday from 8 AM

Upon completion, Sterling Ranch will ultimately be home to many more commercial tenants such as food, clothing, and other retailers; as well as corporate offices and service providers such as dentists, pharmacies, veterinarians, and others. “We are being careful to pace our commercial development side of things so that it best aligns with the needs of our residents and neighbors, with a focus on priority services. We signed our deal with UCHealth first for a reason, as it was clear the Chatfield Valley had been deprived of healthcare access for decades,” said Brock Smethills, the Chief Operating Officer of the Sterling Ranch Development Company.

5 things to know: City studies Dove Valley’s future ‘Visioning’ exercise to be completed this year BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In one of the many unincorporated areas near Centennial, large, vacant swaths of prairie land sit in Dove Valley, a region east of Centennial Airport and situated between the city’s east and west wings. But industrial, office and storage space — and the Denver Broncos training facility — dot the map among the grassland, and roughly half of Dove Valley sits in the City of Centennial near East Arapahoe Road. As one of the south Denver metro area’s largest infill land sites — generally undeveloped areas near already built-out regions — Dove Valley is ripe for potential changes, and Centennial is conducting a study to map out a vision for its future. Here are a few things to know about the region and input on what could change. What is Dove Valley? Dove Valley is home to Encompass Business Park, the Arapahoe County Justice Center and Dove Valley Regional Park, and it’s roughly bounded by Arapahoe

Road, East County Line Road, South Jordan Road and the east side of Centennial Airport. The Dove Valley Metropolitan District was organized in 1984 as a government body similar to a municipality, managing aspects like traffic, parks and recreation, water services, and drainage facilities for the area. Roughly its northern half lies within Centennial. Why the study? The City of Centennial’s study takes into account key players like Centennial Airport — which is a separate entity from the city and whose name predates the city’s — Arapahoe County, Dove Valley Metropolitan District, and various businesses and property owners in Dove Valley and the development community, according to the city. The “visioning study” aims to create a shared vision for more coordinated efforts related to transportation planning, land use, economic-development strategies and other factors that could improve Dove Valley’s competitiveness as a business and development location, said Neil Marciniak, economic-development manager for Centennial. “The Dove Valley area is an important piece of Centennial’s cen-

tral Arapahoe Road corridor, which extends (roughly) from Interstate 25 to Parker Road. Activities that occur in Dove Valley, whether it is business, development, traffic, recreation or residential, have the potential to create opportunities for the city,” Marciniak said. The study “seeks to better understand those opportunities and impacts.” A crowded field Dove Valley competes for development with land near Denver International Airport as well as Interlocken, an area in Broomfield along U.S. Highway 36, according to a Centennial staff report. More locally, sites in the surrounding area such as Meridian, which sits on the east side of I-25 and E-470; The Jones District, near I-25 and East Dry Creek Road; and RidgeGate, along I-25 near East Lincoln Avenue, also compete for development, the report said.

Pros and cons Stakeholders including businesses, property owners, developers, real estate brokers and government entities offered input for the study. Positives they gave for Dove Valley included available land, its “prime industrial area” and its location. Among the

negatives were its lack of direct access, that it’s accessible only by car, its distance from major roads and a lack of marketing, the city’s report said.

What could change The stakeholders said a mix of land uses, housing, better access and more retail options are what they’d change about Dove Valley. “Dove Valley is one of the few remaining development areas in the (south Denver metro) area with relatively large vacant land sites that can accommodate certain types of office, industrial and residential land uses,” Marciniak said. Centennial City Council appropriated funds for the study in 2017, and its next steps will be to recommend next steps for the area. The study may guide city council on issues such as land use, transportation, infrastructure improvements and signage to help people find their way through Dove Valley. Annexation is listed in the city’s report as a possible topic on which council could receive guidance, but the city is not currently consider- s ing a proposal to annex the parts of a Dove Valley that fall outside the city,h Marciniak said. Typically, a prop- w erty owner petitions to annex into a s a city, he added. w

says. She screamed as her dog tried to also fight off the suspect, she wrote in her post. The suspect tied her up, and while he was looking for his glasses, she managed to sit up, reach the knot around her ankles and free herself, she wrote. She ran to the bike path. “A man on a bike chased him down and was able to restrain him until police arrived,” Ursini wrote in her post. “I’m so thankful there were people around that ultimately were able to protect me.” A Littleton resident, who asked that her name not be used for privacy reasons, had stopped on the adjacent bike trail and said she saw Ursini “stumble” out from the woods. She helped Ursini while a friend called police. Patrol officers and a paramedic were on scene in about five minutes, the resident said. Ursini was taken to a local hospital and was released July 26. “It was very unsettling that this could happen,” the resident who helped Ursini said. “And it happened so close to the bike trail.”

Awareness key in being safe Cmdr. Trent Cooper, public information officer for the Littleton Police Department, emphasized the trail has always been safe. In his 20 years at the department, he hasn’t seen an attack like this one near South Platte Park. The portion of Mary Carter Greenway “is always busy,” he said. And “it really is a safe environment down there for everybody. Bad things happen to good people all the time and, unfortunately, there is no way to completely safeguard yourself from something happening.” Cooper advises trail users to be aware of their surroundings. Pay attention to red flags, such as a suspicious person or situation. Avoid going into isolated areas alone. Use the trail during daylight hours. “Always be aware of your surroundings,” Cooper said. “Pay attention to things that catch your attention.”

Our incredible customers and employees have helped us collect nearly $50,000 in school supplies for the last four years, and we look forward to a successful 2018.” “Stuff for Students” collection bins will be set up at Larry H. Miller locations in Denver, Aurora, Centennial, Lakewood, Highlands Ranch, Thornton, Federal Heights and Boulder. In addition, monetary contributions can be made online through Volunteers of America at http://www.voacolorado.org/ news_and_events/stuff-for-students. In Colorado school districts, nearly 25,000 pupils enrolled in public schools have been identified as experiencing homelessness, the release said. “The teacher walkouts seen around the country this year highlight how dramatically underfunded public schools can be,” said Bradley Gulley, director of volunteer services at Volunteers of America Colorado.

Littleton immigrant center offers American dream Small office means big things to seekers of citizenship

Why immigrate illegally?

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ose Pimentel is a proud American citizen. But 20 years ago, Pimentel was a scared 23-year-old dodging a rancher’s bullets, he says, as he bolted across the U.S. border, following a 13-year-old “coyote,” or human smuggler, into the Arizona night. Pimentel’s journey to citizenship was a rare one — the vast majority of undocumented immigrants are ineligible for citizenship, which Pimentel qualified for after marrying an American citizen and getting a “green card.” But he owes much of his success to Littleton’s Immigrant Resource Center, which by this fall will have helped nearly 800 people become Americans since 2012. “The IRC helped me from beginning to end,” said Pimentel, a diesel mechanic at Denver International Airport who now regularly volunteers at the center, doing administrative tasks and tutoring other seekers of citizenship. “I wanted to be a greater part of the United States, to vote, and to give back more to the country. The IRC walked me through every step of the process, and it’s a complicated one.” Tucked in a group of old study rooms on the lower level of Bemis Public Library, the IRC offers a vast array of services to would-be Americans: oversight and advice on the process of citizenship, English lessons, assistance filling out forms, appointment setting and connections with other immigrant service organizations. The IRC’s services are increasingly important as the federal government under the Trump administration tightens requirements to achieve citizenship, said Glaucia Rabello, the center’s director. “It’s getting really hard,” Rabello said. “They’re strictly enforcing every restriction they can. They are denying more people who apply for naturalization. Before, they might let you skate a little bit on the requirement to read, write and speak English. That’s not the case anymore.” The IRC only assists people who already have legal permanent resident status, or “green cards,” make the final step into citizenship, Rabello said. The center does not assist immigrants who remain undocumented, nor does it help immigrants get green cards. For many immigrants, though, the IRC’s flexibility makes all the difference. Whereas immigration attorneys can charge thousands of dollars to prepare forms and offer legal assistance, Rabello said, the IRC provides many services on a sliding scale, with some citizenship application classes costing as little as $10. Money is one of the big barriers to achieving citizenship, Rabello said, as federal fees stack up.

Jose Pimentel crossed the border illegally in 1998 and was able to gain legal residency in the United States after marrying a citizen. He is a full-fledged citizen today, thanks in part, he said, to the Immigrant Resource Center. DAVID GILBERT

PASS THE TEST Immigrants seeking citizenship must pass a 100-question exam administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Some of the questions: 1. What does the Constitution do? 2. What is an amendment? 3. How many amendments does the Constitution have? 4. We elect a U.S. Senator for how many years? 5. The House of Representatives has how many voting members? 6. What are two Cabinet-level positions? 7. There are four amendments to the Constitution about who can vote. Describe one of them. 8. The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name one of the writers. “We have a lot of clients who are refugees from South Sudan,” Rabello said. “Every spare dollar they have, they send back home, so their families don’t starve.” The center offers English tutoring, which clears a hurdle for even longtime American residents.

Tips to stay safe during severe afternoon storms Always keep an eye on the sky

strong winds, the National Park Service says. If a storm is approaching, monitor NOAA Weather Radio, local radio stations or a weather station on a smartphone. A severe thunderstorm watch means intense thunderstorms could brew quickly, whereas a severe thunderstorm warning means weather is occurring in an area.

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Monsoon season in Colorado generally lasts from July to September. During this time, severe afternoon thunderstorms — sometimes accompanied by lightning and flash floods — are more likely. While the precipitation is good for the state during what are also the hottest months, the powerful weather conditions can be dangerous. Below are five tips to keep you and your family safe.

Stay away from floodwaters It’s never safe to drive or walk into floodwaters, South Metro Fire Rescue posted on its Facebook page on July 25. “A mere six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult,” South Metro Fire Rescue wrote. “It takes just 12 inches of rushing water to carry away a small car, while two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles.” If roadways are experiencing floodwaters, find an alternate route or

Subscribe to weather notification services Always keep an eye on the sky and watch for signs of approaching storms, such as dark clouds and

stop your vehicle, turn on your hazard lights and wait for the flooding to stop, multiple weather organizations say. Listen to thunderstorm warnings A severe thunderstorm warning indicates wind gusts of 60 miles per hour or higher are occurring or likely, according to the National Park Service. People in an area with such a warning should seek shelter immediately to avoid flying debris. If thunder or lightning is present, stay away from open areas and seek shelter in a building or vehicle. When indoors during a severe thunderstorm, stay away from windows, the National Park Service says. Have a basic emergency kit on hand In case of emergency, the Department of Homeland Security recommends preparing a basic emergency kit with enough supplies to last at

least 72 hours. Items should be placed in airtight plastic bags and stored in plastic bins or a duffel bag. The Department of Homeland Security recommends having one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food, battery-powered or hand-crank radio, flashlight, first aid kit, extra batteries, whistle to signal for help and a local map. For a full list of items, visit www. ready.gov/build-a-kit. Let your loved ones know you’re safe If a disaster strikes, individuals can register as safe through a database offered by the American National Red Cross online at safeandwell.communityos.org/cms/index.php. The system has a tool that lets outsiders search for names of those in a disaster area. People may also call 1-866-GET-INFO to register.

Fine day to be a dog Centennial Center Park draws dozens of canines and companions BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

entennial Center Park isn’t a dog park, but you wouldn’t know it if you walked through it last weekend. The Centennial Dog Days event July 28 brought dozens of dogs and dog-lovers to the park at 13050 E. Peakview Ave. for a morning and afternoon of dog-centered entertainment. The event featured small pools of water for dogs to splash around in and cool off as well as entertainment by the Colorado Disc Dogs, a group of dogs and trainers that perform flying disc-centered tricks. Music for the event was performed by The Fever, who performed hits by Van Morrison, Bill Withers, the Grateful Dead and more as owners walked around the park, their dogs greeting each other. Several canines with the Colorado Disc Dogs held the crowd’s attention as they leaped, sprinted and spun to catch flying discs during the group’s two performances. Bob Wyman, 62, came with his 12-year-old dog, Shadow, who has been playing disc for 10 years. The crowd “was yelling, screaming, and that’s what we want,” Wyman said. “The dogs love it.”

Supermarkets could upend current liquor landscape BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Linda Abreu, of Castle Rock, walked to the parking lot on a recent weekday with a full grocery cart — the typical milk, eggs, cereal boxes and frozen dinners — and a couple bottles of wine, because, she said, it was on sale. “It’s definitely a nice change,” Abreu said, “that now I can buy wine with my cheese.” At the King Soopers on Promenade Parkway in Castle Rock, one of a handful across the state offering a full liquor section for the first time ever, shoppers have already embraced the ability to buy full-strength beer, wine and liquor whlie shopping for groceries. In just a few aisles, the store displays countless types of craft beer. Shoppers casually perused the expansive collection of wine with carts full of bread and cheese. This new convenience, stemming from the largest change in the state’s liquor laws since the end of Prohibition in 1933, has already become routine for some. Bill launched changes In 2017, stores like King Soopers, Safeway and Costco were able to open liquor sections under certain restrictions. Senate Bill 197, passed in 2016, allowed for retailers to sell liquor once they obtained two liquor licenses and bought out every liquor store within 1,500 feet. In a municipality with a population of 10,000 or fewer, liquor-licensed stores must buy out all retail liquor stores within 3,000 feet. Starting in January 2019, the landscape will change even more. SB-243, passed in spring of this year, referred

At a Safeway in Littleton, full-strength beer and liquor is being sold following SB-197. The law allows a maximum of five liquor licenses to store chains in Colorado, under certain parameters. NICK PUCKETT to as the “beer bill,” will allow malt liquors, like Mike’s Hard Lemonade, and full-strength beers to be sold in grocery stores under a standard beer license. The bill also clarifies that local jurisdictions have authority over what is allowed in their public places and outlaws new liquor stores to be built within 500 feet of a school. State Sen. Chris Holbert, a Republican from the Parker area, a sponsor of SB-243, said these policies came from a history of phased-in approaches. It began in 2008, when Gov. Bill Ritter signed a bill allowing liquor to be sold on Sundays. “The grocery stores were left with 3.2 (percent alcohol content) beer, where people only 21 and older could buy it. They could buy it seven days a week, but nobody wanted it,” Holbert said. “So the grocery stores have been fighting for the opportunity to sell full-strength beer, and that change occurred with Senate Bill 197 in 2016.” The King Soopers in Castle Rock is

just one of a few retailers selling liquor already, a list that includes select Target, Costco and Safeway stores. As of 2017, grocery store chains were limited to five fully licensed locations. In 2022 they will be allowed eight, 13 in 2027 and 20 in 2032. By 2037 there will be no limit to the number of licenses a chain can obtain. It will be something for longtime Coloradans to get used to. Colorado is just one of five states — Utah, Kansas, Minnesota and Oklahoma are the others — still selling just 3.2 beer in

its stores. Chris Howes, president of the Colorado Retail Council, said the demand for new laws can be somewhat attributed to the influx of people moving to Colorado, people who are used to being able to have craft beer on their grocery lists already. SEE LIQUOR, P26

Swedish Medical Center nurse honored with DAISY award Compassionate care noted by patient making nomination STAFF REPORT

Swedish Medical Center nurse Lois Peterson received the DAISY award for providing extraordinary, compassionate care, according to a news release. Peterson was nominated for the care she provided to a patient who was recovering from surgery. “Lois is one of the kindest, most compassionate people we have ever met,” the patient wrote. “She is very empathetic and never makes me sense how busy she is. She went the extra mile when my hospital stay went past a week. She found a wheelchair and took me outside to the gardens. It seemed to be heavenly

outside for the first time in 10 days.” Peterson, a nurse at Swedish for over 15 years, was honored by a congratulatory party including nursing staff, medical staff, family and friends. “This award is well deserving,” Sara Dembeck, RN, director of general surgery, said in a news release. “She exemplifies the values and standards of Swedish Medical Center and is dedicated to her patients’ needs every day.” DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The DAISY award is a collaboration of the DAISY Foundation and the American Organization of Nurse Executives, and was established in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes following his death due to complications of an auto-immune disease. The award is a partnership with healthcare organizations to provide ongoing recognition of the clinical skill and especially the compassion nurses provide to patients and families all year long.

VOICES

Look, in a word, the deal is, arguably, pointless QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

ook, I want everyone to stop saying “look” like I just did, before making a statement. I hear it all the time now. It’s used this way, I’m guessing, to let your listeners know what you are about to say is momentous. If what you’re about to say is momentous, there is no need to preface it with an alert. Trust your momentousness. Words are my best friends, and I hate to see them gathered at the river and beaten with rocks until

they have no coloring. Case No. 1: “Fake news.” Case No. 2: “Witch hunt.” Case No. 3: “Let me ask you this.” And of course, no one owns a “hot water heater.” Newcomers to Colorado: you will begin to hear a word day and night, everywhere you go, like it or not. It is unavoidable: Don’t even try. It will come out of nowhere, and land on your mind. It’s this: “Broncos.” It refers to the local National

Football League team. The players behave like 5-year-olds at a clown party if they simply do what they are paid to do: Run five yards with the ball without falling down. But they are adored and revered, and papers and programs are full of them. If one of them buys a toothbrush, it’s a breaking story. You’ll get used to it. You won’t have a choice. I don’t give a Rick Upchurch about the Broncos, but they were here before I was, and that’s the

way I have to look at it. I lived near Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, and heard touchand-go’s all the time that rattled and rolled the house. Someone reminded me, “They were here before you were.” I never got used to it, but I accepted it. There are words I avoid that have nothing to do with their overuse. I simply don’t care for them. “Arguably” is one of them. SEE SMITH, P13

Setting goals sets us on the path to power

H LETTER TO THE EDITOR Child care a key investment As an educator with more than 30 years of experience, I have seen firsthand how high-quality early childhood programs help children and families thrive. While quality child care is not cheap, it is an investment that we must make. Child care is important for the healthy development of children, and it’s also essential for parents to maintain employment or return to work. A study last year found that a family of four earning less than $25,000 a year with an infant and toddler in a child care center would have to spend 73 percent of its income on child care. That’s why I’d like to thank Congress, and specifically Sen. Bennet, for voting to double funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant. CCDBG helps low- and middle-income families afford child care. We must call on

Congress to continue these investments and ensure CCDBG receives this historic level of funding again in fiscal year 2019. We are already seeing the positive impact of these funds here in Colorado. Colorado has made significant improvements to ensure children and families reap the benefits of consistent child care. These changes include raising the eligibility requirements for families and creating statewide exit eligibility so that families don’t lose benefits simply because they moved counties, among others. When we invest in children, particularly those living in poverty, we are setting them up for success. Child care is important for our youngest learners, our families and our communities.

ere is the challenge, find someone who has achieved greatness, excellence, or has completed the pursuit of something worthy and meaningful. And when you find them ask them WINNING if it was by WORDS pure luck, or if they had set a specific goal. Or maybe ask them if they had planned and prepared on their way towards realizing their dreams. Michael Norton I spend a lot of time reading business books, biographies, and personal development books, articles and blogs. I probably spend even more time listening to podcasts and watching motivational videos to keep my mind focused on the pursuit of elevating my own game. Meeting and speaking with other successful people from all walks of life is also part of my cookbook when it comes to my own personal and professional development. The topic lately has been goal setting. Not just goal setting,

but goal setting and the achievement of our goals and dreams. And just like I challenged you at the beginning of this column, I challenged myself to see if I could find anyone who has met with success and who did not have a goal or plan, in advance of the realization of their dreams and goals. Whether I spoke with a very successful CEO, a top performing sales professional, a husband and wife, a teacher, a doctor, a student or a local entrepreneur, everyone I spoke with who had experienced success had planned for that success, prepared for that success, and set goals for themselves along the way. It was in 100 percent of the conversations. Many people I spoke with about goal setting said that they had goals, but when I dug in deeper, they could not clearly define them. Others I met argued that goal setting just wasn’t for them, they would rather wing it as winging it has gotten them this far in life. Think about the people you know who may have lost weight recently. Maybe it was only 10 pounds or so, and maybe it was significantly higher.

It has no meaning. It’s the same as saying nothing. “Arguably” means you haven’t made a commitment to what you are saying. It lets you off the hook. I prefer to be on the hook. It comes from being a schoolteacher. I learned that hedging got me nowhere. It was always best (I thought) to be forthright and honest. If I asked them to draw an apple, and one looked more like a quail, I might say, “You call that an apple?” I would never leave it at that, however. I would mention that very few apples have feathers or a beak. At one time, Look was a magazine, along with Life and The Saturday Evening Post.

They will share with you that they needed or wanted to lose that specific amount of weight. The husband and wife who set a goal for early retirement set a specific savings goal and had a supporting plan to get them where they wanted to be. The owner and CEO of a start-up company didn’t just go out and quit their job, they had a very clear vision and plan for what they wanted to do, set goals around it, and then executed against those goals. There are so many great books and programs around the setting and achievement of goals. There are quotes and other short-form motivational materials to help us become and stay focused on our goals, all we have to do is Google “goal setting” or “goal setting quotes,” and we will find the sources that really connect us to the concept.

them were painted by the great Norman Rockwell. Rockwell was exceptionally talented. He was discredited by most Modern Art critics because his paintings were often overly sentimentalized. I overlooked it, and just studied his techniques, which were flawless. Illustration at one time was a top dog. I also admired Sir John Tenniel’s illustrations for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Lewis Carroll vividly described Alice and the other characters; Tenniel vividly depicted them. Now we have computer graphics, and true illustrations are rarely needed.

Do you have clearly defined goals and are well on your way to achieving your dreams? Do you take more of a “wing it” approach? Do you need help with a goals program? As always, I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can realize the true power found in goal setting as we pursue our dreams, it really will be a better than good week.

You’ll find all of these displayed or explored at the “Play Ball!” exhibit at History Colorado Center. But the first thing you notice as you walk in, and which immediately gives you a sense of the sport’s humanity, is Babe Ruth’s palmprint — which may not be much larger than your own. “What this exhibition does really well is it has the pieces to get beyond just the player on the field and their heroics,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of History Colorado Center. The display of the Bambino’s palmprint is just the first part of the story the exhibit sets out to tell: That baseball is ingrained in American culture, and it doesn’t take a superhuman to do superhuman things. The exhibit, said Hanson, is meant to educate people on the athlete’s place in history rather than just the stats on the back of their baseball card. Coloradans have less than two remaining months to view one of the largest collection of baseball artifacts and memorabilia outside of

ince Red Rocks Amphitheatre first opened as a concert venue, more than 2,000 performances have taken place on its stage by musicians in every genre imaginable. Which meant when the City of Denver started working on compiling an album of some of its best performances, there was no way all highlights could be included. “We knew we weren’t going to get close to providing a good look at the breadth of artists and performances we’ve had over the years,” said Brian Kitts, Red Rocks spokesperson. “What we tried to do was provide a taste of the many styles we’ve had here.” The end result is “Red Rocks Live,” a compilation three years in the making that features COMING performances from ATTRACTIONS 1978 to 2016. The three-LP limited edition vinyl collection is available at Red Rocks Trading Post and Visitor Center while supplies last. The album can also can be ordered on the Red Rocks website Clarke Reader and is available in a digital format on iTunes, Amazon and other online outlets. As Kitts explained, staff had to consider factors like copyright and recording quality when considering songs to select. A big get, he said, was U2’s 1983 performance of “New Year’s Day” from its famous “Under a Blood Red Sky” performance. Other highlights include a 1978 performance of “Ship of Fools” by The Grateful Dead and a 2015 performance of “Grapevine Fires” by Death Cab for Cutie. “We also wanted to include local artists that have become Red Rocks favorites,” he added. “We made sure to include The Lumineers and The Fray in the track list because they’re so popular here.” Since there was no way to get everything into the album, Kitts said he hopes it serves more as a kind of sonic memory capsule than a historical record. “When people listen to the album, they might remember being at the show or have memories about seeing the artist perform,” he said. “Seeing a show at Red Rocks is always magic, and every show here is special.” SEE READER, P15

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Leon Bridges at Red Rocks When Leon Bridges first appeared on the pop scene in early 2015, his retro soul sounds conjured up a latterday Sam Cooke, albeit with a little less gospel and a bit more sly sexiness. His eagerly awaited sophomore album “Good Thing,” dropped in May and proved Bridges is not one hit wonder. I’ve seen Bridges rip a stage to shreds, and that’s why I know that you do not want to miss him storm Red Rocks, 18300 W Alameda Parkway, with Khruangbin and Masego at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9.

Landscape photography carries viewers away Denver Art Museum exhibit has works from about 40 creators BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

From the first super-sized work at the gallery entrance through almost 100 images, shot day and night across our ever-amazing world, “New Territory: Landscape Photography Today” offers a Denver Art Museum visitor a peek inside the minds of about 40 contemporary photographers whose visions of the land stretch the imagination and carry one from this print to the next one, exclaiming, “How did she/he do that?” This collection stretches what boundaries there may have been about traditional landscape photography — both in technique and image. And of course, many carry messages about today’s environmental considerations, perceptions and values as they stir the imagination … visitors have exclaimed: “I never saw anything like this!” The exhibit runs through Sept. 16 on Level 2 of the Hamilton Building, Denver Art Museum — now open seven days a week. For example, Matthew Brandt’s large three-panel “Lake Isabella” was developed with water from the popular California lake site, as well as a bit

Lake Isabella by Matthew Brandt is a large, three panel work, developed with water from the lake. It is included in “New Territory: Landscape Photography Today” at the Denver Art Museum.

This young Los Angeles artist, who grew up assisting his photographer father in his lab, operates free from the constraints some bring to the art as they produce perfect, unmarred prints. Brandt is known for highly experimental, sitespecific work, such as “Lake Isabella.” Curator Eric Paddock calls work exhibited in this exhibit “processdominant … It blurs the distinctions between `observed’ and `constructed’ imagery, between the `real’ and `ideal’ landscapes that have shaped photography for the past 50 years.” Abelardo Morrell’s very different images of mostly familiar spots in America’s national parks were achieved with a periscope/lens sticking out from the top of a tent, which reproduced the scene on the tent floor, onto the dirt and sand one walks on approaching the site. The act of translating that image to the prints we see on the museum walls explains their sort of otherworldly quality. Actually, both those special locations and prints display that quality.

them for a while and let them reel you in! Morrell is a Cuban-American artist with a truly original view of his world — making it his own — yet clearly recognizable. Morrell is quoted: “I wanted to find a way to make these well-known views into my own private discoveries” … James M. Allen of Eastman Museum said of these works: “They tie the ground to a scenic view, transform the geology of the land into his canvas …” Buenos Aires, Argentina resident Adam Jeppesen, who spoke in late June, walked 487 days alone from the North Pole, through the Americas and concluded at the South Pole in Antarctica, taking pictures every day. Some from this adventure are exhibited, including scratches to negatives that occurred in his backpack. He discovered a positive side to solitude and his works “reflect the physical and emotional experience of his adventure.” Sharon Harper, who will lecture at 7 p.m. Aug. 23, attached a camera to a telescope to take pictures of the night sky, continuing her exploration of the

role of photography as we explore the surrounding landscape. (The camera can expand our vision as well as alter it …) Astronomical images, closeups of nature, photos large and small, precise and abstract make up this carefully curated exhibit. It would be perfect to share with visiting family and friends this summer. • Some related programs: Daily tours with a docent are planned through Sept. 16 from 1:30 to 2:15. Aug. 3 at 4 p.m., Conversations with Curators features Eric Paddock, who organized this exhibit, discussing the history and practice of landscape photography. Aug. 23 from 7-8 p.m., Anderman Photography Lectures features Sharon Harper talking about how the camera is a way to translate kinds of connections that we’re not even aware of and the kinds of connections that are very abstract and difficult to talk about.

Decades of TRADITION come to FRUITION Western Welcome Week offers range of events over 10-day run BY THELMA GRIMES TGRIMES@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

elebrating 90 years of success in Littleton, the 2018 theme for Western Welcome Week is community and friendship. The annual celebration will be held from Friday, Aug. 10 to Sunday, Aug. 19. Cindy Hathaway, executive director of Western Welcome Week, said the event has made it through nine decades because it brings residents and businesses together in celebration of community spirit, and forms longstanding friendships both locally and abroad. Korri Stainbrook, the community relations specialist of TLC Meals on Wheels, said Western Welcome Week is important because it brings community, family and friends together. “It’s just a community staple,” she said. “Every August ... I know Western Welcome Week is where I will recon-

nect with friends, see family and really enjoy what we have. It’s the main event everyone makes sure they attend.” Celebrating friendship on a larger scale, Western Welcome Week will continue to welcome friends from Bega, Australia. About 60 years ago, after seeing the U.S. State Department’s film “Small Town Editor” about the Littleton Independent’s Houstoun Waring, Bega’s newspaper editor, Walter Annabel, was struck by all the similarities Bega had to Littleton. He reached out to the Littleton editor, marking the beginning of their longstanding friendship. Celebrating that friendship, Annabel’s son Bruce has been selected as one of the parade grand marshals this year. The other honoree is Dick Lautenbach, founder of Lautenbach Insurance in Littleton. Parade The Grand Parade, which will be held on Festival Day, Saturday, Aug. 18, has become one of the biggest traditions of Western Welcome Week. Hathaway said when it was time to celebrate Western Welcome Week’s 75th anniversary, the board of directors wanted to look at all the annual events, both new and old, and see how long

each has been a part of the celebration. While the Littleton Community BBQ has reached 68 years, it’s the parade that has been a Western Welcome Week staple since the very beginning. “The parade is the main constant,” Hathaway said. “The parade has always gone forward. During World War II, the parade still went on even though there wasn’t a lot of people here at home to make it happen.” The Grand Parade will begin at 10 a.m. on Aug. 18 in downtown Littleton. The parade will feature visitors from Bega, equestrians, high school marching bands from across the state, pipe bands, tractors and floats featuring the community and friendship theme. “That’s the fun thing about this year’s theme — anyone can find a way to make it work,” Hathaway said. “We really don’t know exactly what it will look like until we see it.” Drew Lang, of the Rotary Club of Littleton, said he has a business on Main Street and it’s incredible to see one of the biggest parades of the year in the Denver metro area go by year after year.

Australian delegation to get red-carpet treatment Guests from sister city Bega will visit rodeo, Broncos stadium BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton will be rolling out the red carpet from the moment guests from sister city Bega, Australia, land on Colorado soil on Aug. 9 ahead of Western Welcome Week. A Littleton Public Schools bus will greet 22 delegates from the Land Down Under at Denver International Airport, whisking the Aussies away for a whirlwind 10-day trip that will showcase what Littleton and Colorado have to offer, said Wilt Cooper, president of the Bega/ Littleton Sister City Exchange program. Delegates from Bega visit Littleton every five years, Cooper said, and Littleton delegates visit Littleton on an alternating five-year schedule. The delegates include Bega vocational school students

Matthew Gibbs and Jess Heaton, who won competitions to join the trip. The bus will bring the delegation to Littleton’s Bega Park — named for the sister city — for a welcome reception from Mayor Debbie Brinkman, Cooper said. The delegation, which will stay with host families during the visit, will tour Hudson Gardens the next day, then attend the Family Night Concert and Fireworks event at Sterne Park that officially kicks off Western Welcome Week on Aug. 10. Subsequent days will take the delegation to a rodeo in Fraser, the alpine slide in Winter Park, on a tour of the Denver Broncos’ stadium, a fancy reception at Columbine Country Club, and other destinations before culminating in the Aug. 18 Western Welcome Week Grand Parade, where the delegation will occupy a place of honor on a parade float. The trip should be a thrill for Heaton, 18. “The furthest I’ve ever traveled is Queensland (Australia), so I’ve

Jess Heaton’s teacher nominated her to win a free trip to Littleton with the Bega delegation. The 18-year-old will receive her diploma in event management just days before leaving Australia. COURTESY PHOTOS

Matthew Gibbs is one of two young Bega residents chosen to accompany his city’s delegation to Littleton during Western Welcome Week. He said the trip will be a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

never known much else except Bega,” Heaton said in an emailed statement. The royal treatment is the least Littleton can do for their guests, considering how Littleton’s delegation has been treated in Australia,

Cooper said. “They treat us like kings and queens when we visit,” Cooper said. “Those of us who have gone down there have made lifelong friendships, so it’s good to get to return the favor.”

“I grew up here and come August you know it’s time for Western Welcome Week,” he said. “They have fantastic events all week long, but the parade is definitely something special.” Community BBQ Besides the parade, Hathaway said the 2018 celebration has plenty of food, entertainment and events for all members of the family. The whole week starts with the 68th annual Littleton Community BBQ on Friday, Aug. 10, along with a family concert and fireworks at Sterne Park from 5 to 11 p.m. Lang, the directory of fundraising for the Rotary Club, said while the BBQ has been a Western Welcome Week tradition for 68 years, the Rotary Club happily took over managing it last year. “When the opportunity came up, we knew it was a great way to get involved in the celebration,” he said. “To me, the BBQ really kicks off all the festivities.” This year, Lang said they will be serving pulled pork and hot dogs for between $6 and $8 a plate. Family fun Hathaway said in recent years the Littleton Elks Children’s Fishing Derby at Geneva Lake and Park has become popular. The derby starts at 10 a.m., Saturday. Aug. 11.

Val Dettmer, chairperson of the Derby Committee, said the excitement over this year’s competition is building for children between the ages of 2 and 12. The two-hour competition will give prizes for a variety of catches from smallest to biggest to heaviest. Raffles will also be held throughout the competition. Dettmer said this year the Colorado Division of Fish and Wildlife will be on hand starting at 8 a.m. to teach kids how to cast their lines and to help out during the competition. Another popular event is gold panning on the Platte. In its 22nd year, the event will be held between 9 a.m. and noon on Saturday, Aug. 11 at South Platte Park.

When Dick Lautenbach is called up to the stage at the reception ceremony for the Bega, Australia, sister city delegation to accept his role as one of the grand marshals of Western Welcome Week on Aug. 9, the moment will recognize a friendship that dates back more than six decades that Lautenbach helped inaugurate. Littleton’s sister city relationship with Bega had its origins in 1954, according to materials provided by Western Welcome Week administration. That year, Curly Annabel, the editor of the Bega District News, became enamored of Littleton after seeing “Small Town Editor,” a State Department-funded film about Houstoun Waring, the legendary editor of

the Littleton Independent. By 1961, Waring and Annabel were friends, and Waring tapped Lautenbach and other head honchos of the Littleton Chamber of Commerce to spearhead a “sister city” relationship, part of a program created by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1956. The intervening decades have seen Bega and Littleton send delegations back and forth, fostering cultural exchange and friendship, Lautenbach said. Lautenbach’s fellow grand marshal will be Bruce Annabel, Curly’s son, who could not be reached for comment. “It’s been a marvelous relationship,” Lautenbach said. “I watched Bruce grow up, and it will be such an honor to stand beside him in the parade.”

Collecting LIVING data Denver Botanic Gardens scientists help track plant life along urban trail BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the lower levels of the Denver Botanic Gardens, the nonprofit’s herbarium holds more than 70,000 plant specimens as well as fungal samples and plant DNA. The plants are pressed in blotting paper to remove water and preserve the specimen. Christina Alba, a research associate at the Gardens, has been working since April to collect a small portion of the samples from the High Line Canal trail system. The project will span into September to collect plants from all seasons. “These collections are living data,” she said. “It’s not just dusty old stuff stuffed away. People are actively using it.” The herbarium at the Botanic Gardens, 1007 York St., is mostly concentrated on plant samples from Colorado, Alba said. Her recent project with the Denver-based High Line Canal Conservancy will help create a better picture of what plant life lives along portions of the 71-mile trail system. The High Line Canal Trail is a greenway that stretches from an area southwest of Littleton to northeast Aurora. The trail winds through south Denver through Virginia Vale and the Cherry Creek Gold Club. A little over 17 miles of the trail system runs through Denver. The canal was first built in 1883 as an irrigation ditch and was purchased by Denver Water in 1924. Denver Water still uses the ditch to provide irrigation water to about 70 customers. Jose Salas, a media relations specialist with Denver Water, said it only runs water for short periods of time through the canal from April to October. But that also depends on how much water the state receives. “Once an engineering marvel, the canal is not an efficient means of delivering water,” Salas said in an email. “About 70 percent of the water seeps into the ground or evaporates before it

reaches customers.” Denver Water opened the area to the public for recreation in 1970. Alba and a team of 10 volunteers have been collecting samples from every plant along the canal to take back to the Botanic Gardens herbarium. From there, botanists can use microscopes to indentify the plant. Then, the Botanic Gardens will research that plant and whether it’s native to Colorado. The data being collected by the Botanic Gardens across Colorado is not being hoarded in the herbarium for only scientists to see, Alba said. The organization has been digitizing its archives and making them available online for people to research plant trends and species data. “People 20 years from now can search the High Line Canal and link to the species list that we generate,” Alba said. The amount of plant life along the trail depends on the area and how much water it gets. Human interaction in the area has also changed the types of plants growing there. In some spots, residential gardens are directly next to the trail. Plants from those gardens have traveled across the path and down toward the canal itself. “There’s a lot of influence onto the corridor,” Alba said. “There’s that

native ecosystem, or the original ecosystem, and what kind of plants were there, but now there’s that human imprint laid over that.” Plant counts will help bring data back to the Highline Canal Conservancy, which is working to build a new master plan for the canal’s future. The master plan will also look at landscaping around the trail, including drought-tolerant plants and using storm water. Josh Phillips, manager of community initiatives with the conservancy, said Denver Water will

The Denver Botanic Gardens will eventually digitize all the information found with the plant specimens at the High Line Canal and put it online for people to access. stop delivering water to the canal in the next few years. The conservancy’s master plan is looking into retrofitting the canal to use storm water for other properties. “We really want to understand how the ecology of the canal might change as storm water is introduced into the system,” Phillips said. He added that retrofitting the canal for storm water use would be cheaper than building new storm water retention facilities. The conservancy is hoping that storm water will help keep the vegetation around the canal thriving.

“I think customer demand will finally bring what we consider a very normal environment to Colorado,” Howes said, “but we’ll take this first step with craft beer because it’s delicious and customers want to buy it.” Competition heightens Once more grocers begin selling full-strength beer, wine and spirits, small liquor store owners will need to adapt to new, much larger competitors. Jeanne McEvoy, CEO of the Colorado Licensed Beverage Association, a statewide representative of family-owned liquor stores, said there will be an estimated 2,000 full-strength beer competitors in the market come 2019. “That’s an immediate, significant change to the competitive landscape,” McEvoy said. “Now we have to figure out what might be most beneficial to assist liquor stores in adapting to this change.” With the beer bill kicking in

down while the chains prospered. Some smaller stores did well, but typically in neighborhoods with a high population density and not much competition surrounding it. “What has happened in Colorado, in my opinion, is people getting used to shopping at chains,” Joy said. “And chains getting deeper pockets than mom-and-pop stores and it’s hard to ward them off.” Joy’s fears of what may occur in Colorado echo much of the same sentiment from smaller liquor store owners. Some stores will be forced to close as a result of the new competition, and other stores will survive, be it because of the store’s location, ties to the community, customer service or selection. Joy acknowledged the consumer still stands to benefit from the change, but said it might not be as convenient as some may believe. “In the long run,” she said, “sometimes, is it really convenient if you go to a place where you don’t have to wait in line and you get what you really want and you have a parking spot and they’re friendly and you’re supporting the community?”

Preseason quiet: all teams still equal

Fly fishing uses different techniques than spin casting.

SHUTTERSTOCK IMAGE

Fishing lets troubles fly away Learning skills opens door to magic of moving water BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Fly fishing is different. Most of the time it requires using a fly rod and an artificial fly on typically moving water. Casting the weightless fly using a specialized line is different and entails different techniques and skills from spin casting. Spin fishing is simpler, while fly fishing takes more learning and practice. Spin fishing is more prevalent in lakes and ponds while fly fishing is more widespread on rivers and streams. And then it is vital to know how to tie knots and choose the correct flies to use for certain locations and conditions. Fly fishing can be intimidating for beginners. “It’s a specialty sport but anybody can do it,” said Rick Typher, who owns Denver Angler in Centennial. “The best way to start is to take classes. You can have friends try and teach you but they are there to fish. The best way is to take a class, and we do everything from casting, knots, what flies and reading rivers.” Brian Byerly is a Golden High

WHERE TO FLY FISH NEAR THE DENVER AREA The following suggestions are from www.denver. org, the website for Visit Denver, a nonprofit trade

association that markets metro Denver as a convention and leisure destination:

School graduate who is a former fly fishing guide for Orvis. “I would totally agree that fly fishing is a specialty sport,” he said. “It takes patience and time to learn. It’s not like regular spin fishing, where you put on bait and throw it out there and wait for fish to come eat it. Fly fishing you have to match different hatches, different times and there are different ways of reading water and presenting flies. “Some flies are on top of the water and some are below the surface. There is a skill involved that is different from every other kind of fishing.” Byerly revealed he catered to mostly beginners on his tours. “Most of the people, probably 75 percent were beginners,” he added. “You take the time and teach them right and they catch on. It does take time. Different people learn at different paces. But people absolutely catch on.” Vince Coleman and his son Jake work for Alpine Tackle Supply in Centennial and have been fly fishing and working in the industry for years. “I find fly fishing to be the most

• South Platte River • Clear Creek • Blue River • Colorado River

therapeutic thing ever,” said Vince. “You fish rivers more than lakes and there is something about standing in the moving water, the noise, the sound of the water flowing through your legs and you pretty much just get taken away by the river. “If you troll for four hours it can be boring. You are waiting for something to happen. In fly fishing a lot of time it is visual. You are always moving. It’s kind of a little hunting involved with it. You can see that fish and you are trying to fool that fish. You are watching your fly come down the river and watch the fish come up slowly and take it.” Jake Coleman admits he plays second fiddle to his dad when it comes to catching fish. “Some days we’ll go fishing and I’ll watch Dad catch fish and I won’t catch anything but it’s not a bad day. I spent all day hanging out in the water. “Fly fishing is more technical. I’m huge on sight fishing. I’m going to find a pond with trout and I can see all the fish. I’m not going to fish a big lake where you cast and hope for the best.”

arly August is an enjoyable couple weeks for those athletes that have spent time all summer preparing for the upcoming fall sports seasons. It is a tranquil time because everybody and every team is equal. No team or OVERTIME individual has lost and nobody has won. All the preseason prognostications are just speculative based mostly on last season’s observations. Still, everybody likes to read Jim Benton about preseason rankings, and it appears Mountain Vista’s cross country teams will once again be good after the Golden Eagles swept the Class 5A state championships last year. Mile Split recently ranked the nation’s top girls and boys 5K cross country teams for the upcoming 2018 fall season based on times of the top-returning runners from 2017. Mountain Vista’s girls were ranked third in the nation behind Wayzata (Minnesota) and Jesuit (Oregon). The average time of five Golden Eagles returning runners (Jenna Fitzsimmons, Caroline Eck, Sarah O’Sullivan, Madison Reed and Makenna Anderson) was 17:59.20. Wayzata’s average time of returning runners was 17:46.19 and Jesuit’s average was 17:57.90. Fitzsimmons captured last season’s Class 5A individual girls championship, Eck was second and O’Sullivan was sixth. Fitzsimmons and O’Sullivan will be juniors this fall and Eck a senior. Battle Mountain’s girls were 18th in the 5K rankings and Valor Christian’s returning runners were 41st with an average time of 18:48.44 for returnees Riley Irwin, Keely Jones, Taylor Whitfield, Kindyll Wetta and Emma Sees. Mountain Vista’s boys were ranked 48th in the country with an average time of 16:18.00 in the 5K division with Ethan Rouse, Jack O’Sullivan, Brody Dempsey, Seth Rouse and Aaron Hart listed as underclassmen last season. Durango’s boys were 28th. SEE BENTON, P31

U.S. Club national title Real Colorado Edge downed Mount Laurel United Pride (N.J.), 2-1, on July 24 to win the girls U16 Premier championship at the U.S. Club national tournament held at Aurora Sports Park. Kaylyn Buchanan, who will be a junior at Lakewood High School, scored on a corner kick directly into the goal during the first half to give the Edge an early lead and Jordan Smith, a sophomore at Horizon, made it 2-0 in the second half as the Edge held on for the win. The team was made up of eight 03 age-group players and 10 players from the 02 age group. The team had girls who attend high school at Standley Lake, Ralston Valley, Wheat Ridge, Horizon, Brighton, Golden, Lakewood, Boulder, Monarch, Fairview and D’Evelyn.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Willy Mays’ glove and a hall of the game’s most iconic jerseys to take visitors through the evolution of the game. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for baseball fans,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of the History Colorado Center and longtime baseball fan. “You can make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown (to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum). But if you can’t do that this year, you will feel pretty satisfied if you can make it to downtown Denver. “You can start from something people already love and help them understand how it fits into bigger currents of American history, bigger currents of Colorado’s history — and that is a really effective way to help people appreciate our shared history together,” Hanson added. The exhibit explores the game throughout time and draws parallels with significant events in American history, such as World War II and the Civil Rights movement. Learn how Babe Ruth paved the way for celebrities we know today like Kim Kardashian. Walk through some of the highest and lowest points of the game and some of baseball’s most infamous names like the 1919 Black Sox and the notorious heroes of the steroid era. The exhibit recently displayed the Holy Grail of baseball cards, the rare, mint 1952 Mickey Mantle card. The card is one of three in the world and, of those three, is considered to be the

most pristine. Another version of the card is valued at almost $60,000 at Pennsylvania-based Steel City Collectibles. The display was only open for three days to keep the card preserved. “At a time when America was in turmoil, baseball games crossed all socio-economic, ethnic and political barriers and always brought people together. It still does,” said Marshall Fogel, the lifelong Denver man and owner of the collection and Mantle card. “When I think about this Mickey Mantle baseball card, I hold this same nostalgic feeling.” The exhibit takes visitors on a journey of the game’s history and doesn’t finish without acknowledging the unsung stars of the Negro League or taking a look back at the history of the game in the Centennial State. Of course, there’s also a nod to the 2007 Colorado Rockies, who reached the World Series but were swept by the Boston Red Sox. “We hope that this exhibit helps people remember how much fun it is to ... hang out with friends and family and watch a baseball game,” Hanson said. There is, Fogel concurred, nothing better. “Baseball is the only sport of a singular hero — everything else is a team,” he said. “When you are a baseball player, you are up at the plate with nine enemies facing you, and when the ball comes at you in one-quarter of a second, it’s only you who can hit that ball. Just you. “And, I think about the field ... it’s a place you can go and look at a beautiful, perfect scene, and let everything go.”

IMMIGRANT

‘UNDOCUMENTED’ VS. ‘ILLEGAL’ What is the correct way for news reports to refer to someone who immigrates illegally?

FROM PAGE 6

“If you’re working 12 hours a day and commuting between two jobs, when do you have time to go study English?” Rabello said. “Many people come here with little or poor education, and we expect them to know not just English but civics. We’ll work with their schedule. You can only meet with a tutor late on a Saturday night? Fine, we’ll make it happen.” The IRC started in 2005 as an outgrowth of the Littleton Leadership Retreat, a community brainstorming group, according to the center’s website. Initially, the center primarily connected immigrants with community resources in a limited manner, but in 2012 it received a $250,000 grant from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to greatly expand its offerings. The center now must compete with other similar programs across the nation every two years to renew the grant, which is matched by the city. The money supports five staff members and a host of other services. Volunteers like Pimentel provide vital support. Volunteering at the center is a way to share the blessings of life in America, said Kathryn Ballinger, a retired attorney from Bow Mar who started

The terminology is dictated by the Associated Press Stylebook, which is the definitive style and usage guide employed by journalists to standardize language. The stylebook recommended the term “illegal immigrant” until 2013, when editors changed the style to labeling actions rather than people. The stylebook’s entry today reads in part: “illegal immigration: Entering or residing in a country without authorization in violation of civil or criminal law. Except in direct quotes essential to the story, use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant. Acceptable variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission. Pins in a wall map show where the Immigrant Resource Center’s clients come from — and where they end up.

Do not use the terms alien, an illegal, illegals or undocumented (except when quoting people or government documents that use these terms).”

helping out at the center nine months ago. “I think we forget how lucky we are and what our roots are,” Ballinger said. “This felt like a good way to be a friendly face and to counter the less-welcoming messages out there right now.” Ballinger said she’s been heartened to get to know the center’s clients. “The people we work with are lovely,” Ballinger said. “They’re hard-working, well-intentioned

and family-oriented.” Citizenship means a better connection to family for many immigrants, said Jose HerreraRodriguez, who took the oath of citizenship at age 67 on July 5, thanks to help from the IRC. “Now that I’m not saving up for citizenship, I can afford go see my children in Mexico,” said Herrera-Rodriguez, who had been working toward citizenship for 18 years. “Well, they’re not exactly children anymore.”

Paul Colford, the Associated Press’s former vice president of media relations, wrote in 2013 that “we had in other areas been ridding the Stylebook of labels. The new section on mental health issues argues for using credibly sourced diagnoses instead of labels. Saying someone was ‘diagnosed with schizophrenia’ instead of ‘schizophrenic,’ for example. “And that discussion about labeling people, instead of behavior, led us back to ‘illegal immigrant’ again.” “We concluded that to be consistent, we needed to change our guidance.” The terminology remains a subject of hot debate among journalists and readers.
