Officers stop protesters from blocking ICE lot Reacting to family separation, group wants to ‘abolish’ immigration agency BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Protesters stood vastly outnumbered by local deputies, SWAT officers and federal police in front of the local office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Centennial Aug. 2, yelling messages on a megaphone, singing songs and in some cases getting in officers’ unmoving faces while blocking the ICE parking lot. The crowd protested the separation of children from migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months, a federal practice that was later reversed, though hundreds of children remain separated from parents who were deported while their children were detained. Eight protesters who used material to bond their arms in a blockade of two entrances to the parking lot were detained by Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office deputies and federal police. Seven received federal citations and were released at the scene, according to Julie Brooks, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office.

she added. All eight protesters were released, a spokeswoman with the protest said about noon Aug. 3 in a news release. The protest, organized in part by longtime activist and undocumented immigrant Jeanette Vizguerra, arrived in front of the Denver Field Office at 12445 E. Caley Ave. in Centennial the evening of July 29 and was planned to last a week, Vizguerra said. About 15 people slept at the encampment on the first night, she said. On Aug. 1, before the parking-lot entrances were blocked, ICE commented on the protest. ICE “fully respects the constitutional rights of all people to peacefully express their opinions,” said Carl Rusnok, a regional ICE spokesman. “ICE remains committed to performing its immigration-enforcement mission consistent with federal law and agency policy.” SEE ICE, P7

Arapahoe County lifts burning ban STAFF REPORT

September 27 1-888-9-AXS-TIX

The Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Office has rescinded the open-burning ban that had been in effect in unincorporated Arapahoe County, the City of Centennial, and the towns of Deer Trail and Foxfield. Recent moisture has lowered wildfire potential, the sheriff ’s office said in a news release. Although the ban has been lifted, the sheriff ’s office still cautions residents

as they resume using open-flame fires. Grasses and other fuels can dry out quickly and pose a threat to rapid fire spread, the sheriff ’s office said in the release. Refrain from buring during windy conditions and have a readily available water supply, the release said. Those considering open burns should also check with their local fire department for district specific permits related to burning, the release said.

Winged wonders wow watchers HawkQuest presents raptors to crowd at Centennial Center Park BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ver seen a falcon up close? How about a falcon taking flight just feet away? The crowd saw that and more at the Birds of Prey event at Centennial Center Park Aug. 2, where young children in the audience got to get up close with an owl, an eagle and other birds. But the event, which drew people of all ages, also focused on education, discussing kids’ questions about birds and topics like the bald eagle’s origin as a national symbol. A presenter also talked about the importance of cleaning up trash and saving water and electricity to help the environment for birds. HawkQuest, a Parker-based nonprofit that educates audiences about birds and the ecosystem, put on the event. Edna Sloan, a volunteer of 20 years with

HawkQuest, hopes kids will take care of the environment with the knowledge they absorb at presentations like this. “I love it if we get kids who are excited about birds of prey because that means they’ll remember” the information, Sloan said. The presentation at 13050 E. Peakview Ave. was part of the Centennial Active Seniors program, a slew of events aimed at giving seniors educational and entertaining things to do. “We’re starting to get some traction,” said Chris O’Mara, vice chairperson of the Centennial Senior Commission, which oversees the program. The Active Seniors program, a new initiative for the city, kicked off in June, O’Mara said. Sandy Carruthers, a 54-year-old Centennial resident, brought Brodey Carruthers, a 5-year-old from Aurora, to the event. Brodey said his favorite bird is the golden eagle. “He really loves birds and wildlife and learning about these things,” Carruthers said.

PoloFest gallops into Sedalia this month BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

An event rolls into Sedalia this month that aims to make people believe in polo, while also serving up first-class music entertainment. PoloFest, which as the name suggests is both a music festival and polo sporting event, kicks off Aug. 25 at the Denver Polo Club. It’s bringing in names like Phantogram and Quinn XCII while also showcasing polo through the Women’s World Cup and Colorado Open Final. Organizers say PoloFest is open to people of all ages and all backgrounds, including those new to polo. Here are a few important things to know about the event. Who’s throwing PoloFest? The faces behind this polo-music mashup are Ty MacCarty, of Sheridan, Wyoming, and Rob Jornayvaz, of Littleton. The 27-year-old and 25-year-old men, respectively, said they co-founded PoloFest because they love horses, they love the sport of polo and they want more of their generation to understand why.

“Horses, they’ve been a part of my life since the beginning and they really do have a special power, not just on the field, but off the field as well,” MacCarty said. MacCarty and Jornayvaz play polo and call the sporting community closeknit. But they also say it has a reputation for being closed-off to the masses. By keeping PoloFest casual — no need to wear big hats or pastel colors — they hope PoloFest makes the sport more inclusive. “I think the thing that draws me most,” Jornayvaz said of polo, “is the horse and the connection that you can create with such an incredible animal that’s so athletic but, at the same time, so in tune with you.” The setting PoloFest takes place at the Denver Polo Club, 6359 Airport Road in Sedalia. Situated along the Front Range among open, grassy fields, the site is not only a burgeoning music venue but one rich in local polo history. The club was founded in 1986 by John and Chris Gandomcar, who built the 100-acre Cottonwood Riding Club in

Littleton, located south of Chatfield State Park and north of the Denver Polo Club. Today, according to the club’s website, the Denver Polo Club is run by the Gandomcars’ daughter, Erica, an accomplished polo athlete and advocate for the sport. How PoloFest works The day of the festival will be a mix of polo events and musical entertainment. “It’s going to be a really fun-filled day,” Jornayvaz said. Doors open at 1 p.m. A Kid’s Polo match begins at 2 p.m., the Women’s World Cup runs from 4 to 5 p.m., and the Colorado Open Final runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The Equine Partnership Program will offer horse rides and other ways for people to interact with horses from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Now, soak in this artist lineup: • Brandi Cyrus (yes, that’s Miley Cyrus’ sister) will DJ throughout the event. • Chule & Curtis play at 3 p.m. • ZZ Ward plays at 5 p.m.

• Quinn XCII takes the stage at 8 p.m. and headliners Phantogram follow at 9:30 p.m. For a cause PoloFest will benefit the Equine Partnership Program, based in Elizabeth. The nonprofit provides equine therapy for children, families and individuals, but also for underprivileged, abused or neglected children, “a very important population to work with,” Jornayvaz said. People can make donations to the EPP or participate in a silent auction during the festival. Polo teams playing during the event are donating to the EPP as well. Jornayvaz and MacCarty said they’re not sure what to predict for crowd size this year, but they hope to raise $40,000 for the EPP. Funds will help bring kids from the Denver metro to the EPP’s Elizabeth location “to breath some fresh air,” Jornayvaz said, and support the organization’s building projects. “Our goal,” MacCarty said, “is to really showcase the healing power of horses.”

Signatures being checked for statewide school funding measure Initiative 93 could boost resources for education if it makes ballot BY SHANNA FORTIER SFORTIER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Coloradans looking to bolster education funding throughout the state may be one step closer to their goal, as the Great Schools, Thriving Communities campaign turned in more than 170,000 signatures to the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office on July 11. The signatures provide support for placing Initiative 93 on the November ballot. The initiative would raise $1.6 billion for public education, mostly by an increase to the income tax of those making more than $150,000 a year and for “C” corporations — any corporations that are taxed separately from their owners — getting Colorado closer to the national average in terms of education funding. Currently the state gives about $5 billion to school districts. For the past six months, volunteers throughout the state set out to collect 98,492 valid signatures in support of the ballot initiative. The number turned in exceeds that goal and the Secretary of State’s Office has 30 days to verify the signatures’ validity. The office must also verify that enough valid signatures came from each state Senate district — about 3,000 minimum from each of the 35 districts. “I am overly excited and so proud of all those people that have stepped up and done outstanding work,” said Donald Anderson, of Fort Collins. Anderson and Boulder resident Martha Olson are the proponents on the citizen document. “I think the other thing in addition to the excitement of getting this far is to emphasis how crucial this is to Colorado schools,” Olson added. “The funding was cut in the recession and never recovered. This is the time.” The Great Schools, Thriving Communities campaign is made up of a coalition of education-connected organizations working to advance better and more equitable funding of public schools through a ballot initiative in 2018. Great Schools, Thriving Communities is based on three principles: Every student needs the opportunity to reach their full potential and to participate meaningfully in the civic and economic life of the community; the Colorado way of life should be about every student having the chance to succeed regardless of their zip code or their learning needs; and a strong economy requires quality public education as it develops a quality workforce that will drive a vibrant Colorado economy for decades to come. The new funding is aimed at making up for millions of dollars in lost funding over the past decade. The initiative Olson and Anderson found their path as education activists in different ways.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR TAXES The Great Schools, Thriving Communities ballot initiative seeks to increase state education funding by creating a quality public education fund financed through higher taxes on incomes above $150,000 and on “C” corporations. Increases This means increasing

income tax rates incrementally for individuals, trusts and estates using four tax brackets starting at a 0.37 percentagepoint increase for incomes above $150,000 and increasing to 3.62 added percentage points for income above $500,000. There will also be an increase for the

And we don’t even provide a free kindergarten. We are handicapping a whole generation of young people. Sometimes I get worried that we don’t even know what we are doing by not funding our schools.” The initiative would address these shortfalls by providing an additional

$1,000 per child to each school district; providing for full-day kindergarten and increasing the amount of revenue going to early childhood education funding; expanding the definition of “at-risk” students to count free and reduced lunch kids; and increasing the amount of funds passing from the state to local districts for English-language learners, special education, and gifted and talented students. “Our initiative is about trying to solve a statewide funding issues to make sure all students are able to benefit,” said Susan Meek, a Douglas County resident and communications director for Great Education Colorado, a grassroots activism group aimed at stimulating wise investment in Colorado’s public schools, colleges, and universities. One way this initiative does that is by allowing each school district to determine how to spend the extra dollars in a way that benefits their community. For Bret Miles, who works with 12 school districts in the northeast corner of the state, this means looking at courses that have been cut, increased class sizes and decreased personnel due to decreased funding over the years. With districts ranging from 120 students in K-12 to 750 students throughout a district, the northeast corner is home to some of the smallest districts in the state. “Right away with this passing, each district will get to have a conversation about what we get to restore,” Miles said. “I think that’s really the beauty of this initiative. Each district gets to come up wth their own solution. Each community can sit down and say what is our need, our priority as a school district.” Miles said one area extra funds will go toward is increased salary for

educators. “It’s no question,” he said. “In our neck of the woods we have such a tough time competing with the metro area with salaries. So that’s good for our teachers, prospective teachers, and the community, because instead of our teachers renting the tiniest house in town, they can buy.” But those in opposition to the initiative have doubts that the money collected from taxpayers will benefit students. “There’s also absolutely no evidence that this will improve Colorado schools,” said Linda Gorman, an economist with the Independence Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Denver. “All this money goes into an education slush fund and can be used for any purpose … There’s no guarantee that any of this money will be used to help the average students out.” In Jefferson County Public Schools, the second largest school district in the state and home to 86,000 students, the initiative would mean an additional $134.4 million a year for the district. This year Jeffco recived $353 million in state revenue. Superintendent Jason Glass said a portion of that would be designated toward salaries to attract and retain quality teachers. Glass said the district would also likely look at increased counseling services and programming that focuses on career and college readiness. Getting to the ballot But the road to the ballot has been more difficult than past initiatives. Amendment 71, which passed in 2016, calls for ballot initiatives in Colorado to turn in valid signatures representing 2 percent of voters from each of the 35 Colorado Senate districts. Initiative 93 is the first to attempt this higher standard. “It was called Raise the Bar, and it did,” said Lisa Weil, executive director of Great Education Colorado. “It increases the cost in time and funding significantly when you have to make sure you have valid signatures in very specific areas.” But Weil said there was an energy around the state that kept the momentum going. “It’s breathtaking how people stepped up,” Weil said. “Without the energy and commitment of people all around the state, it would have been impossible.” One Amendment 71 volunteer is Cathy Kipp, who serves on the school board in Fort Collins. Kipp personally collected more than 4,000 signatures in her area and in the Western Slope. “Funding is such a challenge,” Kipp said. “This actually gets something done. This makes change. To me, it’s incredibly important because everyone wants good schools, but nobody wants to pay for it.” The initiative also gained momentum in April when educators throughout the state and the nation were rallying at the Capitol for more funding. “That was very energizing — teachers willing to speak up and talk about the issues,” Anderson said. “All that gives me joy, but I’m also looking ahead and November is a ways away.”

ICE FROM PAGE 2

Rusnok declined to offer comments on the Aug. 2 scene at the protest. The Denver Field Office’s area of responsibility includes Colorado and Wyoming. A verbal clash More than three dozen protesters stood on the sidewalk and street in front of the office late on the afternoon of Aug. 2, chanting in Spanish and English as federal police voiced legal warnings against the parking-lot blockades on loudspeaker. By about 5 p.m., roughly 80 lawenforcement officers total, including Arapahoe County and federal police with the Department of Homeland Security, were on the scene, where two groups of four protesters blocked entrances to the lot. Dozens of deputies and SWAT personnel from the sheriff ’s office — both in riot helmets and vests — formed a semi-rectangular line around one of the groups of four. Officers lined up across the width of East Caley Avenue and walked forward as protesters backed up, with one protester who initially refused to move — 29-year-old Hanna Khavafipour — being pushed back by an officer. One of the protesters later detained reportedly sustained a minor injury that was treated at the scene, Brooks said. No protesters aside from those in the blockades were detained, cited or

arrested, Brooks said. Protesters stood amid signs opposed to the Trump administration’s practice — later reversed — of separating hildren from parents on a wide scale at the U.S.-Mexico border in the detention process for migrants. About 150 protesters were in the crowd in the morning and early afternoon, said Jenn Piper, who identified herself as a “press liaison” for the protest. By midafternoon, the number of protesters dwindled to about 40. Escalating scene That morning, protesters marched in a circle near the parking-lot entrances, Piper said. The arm-link blockades began around 11 a.m., and Homeland Security police arrived about an hour before that, Piper said. Multiple times in the afternoon, federal police read legal warnings on a loudspeaker, including that “federal fines and/or arrests can occur” for blocking entry or exit to the parking area. At 4 p.m., federal police handed out legal notices to protesters that said those who obstruct parking lots will be subject to arrest. A 10-minute warning to disperse at about 4:20 p.m. came and went, and after the police presence grew, officers used a tool to remove the material bonding the protesters in the blockades, which Piper said was similar to “PVC pipe.” All the while, a handful of protesters approached and yelled at officers who lined up in front of the bonded protesters, asking questions like, “Are

you on the right side of history?” and how they would feel “if they were your children” separated at the border. Other words by protesters included saying officers were supporting white supremacy and imploring them to quit their jobs. One protester yelled messages at the stone-faced officers including, “I know some of you go to church” and “What would Jesus do?” Protesters are “putting their freedom on the line for something bigger than themselves,” said Tommy, a protester from Aurora who spoke on condition of being identified by first name. Spurred by family separations Piper, the protest spokesperson, said the arm-link blockades were planned by Abolish ICE Denver when protesters felt that the July 26 deadline for the federal government to reunite families and children separated at the border would not be met. “The concern of folks here is that the kids (not yet reunited with families) will end up in foster care,” Piper said. Vizguerra, one of the organizers of the protest, stood among the crowd during the heavy police presence. “It’s not ‘immigration is my problem’ — it’s everybody’s problem,” Vizguerra said at the protest July 31. Vizguerra was named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2017 and garnered widespread media attention amid an 86-day stay in church sanctuary from immigration enforcement in Denver that year.

TIMELINE OF FAMILY SEPARATION After President Donald Trump’s administration announced a “zero-tolerance” policy in April to prosecute as many border-crossing offenses as possible, children were separated from families on a wide scale during the detention process for migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The administration reversed course to an extent with an executive order June 20 that aimed to detain and hold migrant families together. A federal judge in San Diego ordered the government to reunite all the families by the end of July 26, the Associated Press reported. The federal government was directed to reunify more than 2,500 children, and the Trump administration said July 26 that more than 1,800 children separated at the U.S.-Mexico border have been reunited with parents and sponsors, but hundreds remained apart, the AP reported. A person’s first offense of illegal entry into the U.S. is a misdemeanor, but previous administrations have made exceptions, such as for parents traveling with minor children, according to The New York Times — though President Barack Obama’s administration detained adults and children together before a court ruling limited the amount of time children could be held in immigration detention. After, an exception was effectively made for parents and children to be released while they await court proceedings.

Metro district board votes down proposal for ice rink Board members are looking at other options BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Highlands Ranch Metro District Board of Directors rejected a proposal to pay $10 million to South Suburban Parks and Recreation for an ice rink at its new facility. “The benefits to Highlands Ranch were not there for our citizens,” said Vicky Starkey, vice chair of the board. Board members voted 6-1 against the proposal at a study session on July 24 at the metro district’s building, 62 Plaza Drive. Member Allen Dreher voted to approve the ice rink, emphasizing the need for such an amenity in the community. “I was very disappointed,” Dreher said. “It was a program that would have allowed more ice time for high school hockey teams, youth hockey and adults.” The vote also disappointed Kevin Insana, varsity hockey coach for Mountain Vista High School, whose team of about 50 includes players from Highlands Ranch and ThunderRidge high schools. They practice two times a week at 8:50 p.m. and once a week at 6 a.m. at South Suburban Ice Arena in Centennial. The schedule can be tough for parents who drive their players to

and from practice, Insana said. “The hockey population has been growing ever since the Avalanche showed up in 1995,” Insana said of Colorado’s professional hockey team. “The need for ice was there. We could have really used it.” South Suburban officials declined to comment on metro district’s decision. South Suburban plans to repurpose its existing 50-year-old facility north of the Streets at SouthGlenn, at 6631 S. University Blvd., and build a $50 million facility at Holly and County Line Road in unincorporated Douglas County. The new site, which can hold a 200,000-square-foot facility, will have two ice rinks, a field house with two synthetic turf fields, gymnasium and administrative offices, according to a presentation from South Suburban executive director Rob Hanna at a June 26 metro district board meeting. A third ice rink at the facility was in question. If approved, the metro district would have partnered with South Suburban to fund one of three rinks using money from refunded debt, according to Terry Nolan, the metro district’s general manager. Two years ago, the metro district hired a consulting firm to conduct a study of the need for such an ice rink in Highlands Ranch. The firm determined that one ice rink was needed, which would not have been

functional on its own, Nolan said at the June 26 board meeting. Insana is looking forward to South Suburban’s new facility, he said. Right now, his team competes for ice time with club leagues in the Denver metro area, including Littleton Hockey Association, Colorado Thunderbirds and Arapahoe Warriors Youth Hockey League. Each league has several divisions and teams. “It would have been extremely beneficial to have that ice,” he said of the third sheet in question. At the July 24 study session, board members were asked to create a list of options that the money set aside for the ice rink could potentially fund. The list included a senior center; improvements to Fly’n B Park, a fishing

pond that sits northeast of Windcrest Community; improvements to the historic park surrounding the Highlands Ranch Mansion; and a fence replacement program for the 42 miles of fence maintained by the metro district. Resident Jim Lestig was pleased with the board’s decision. A member of the Highlands Ranch Senior Club for eight years, he would rather see the money go towards a senior center. If he lived in South Suburban’s district, he said, he would have supported the project. “I saw absolutely no benefits to Highlands Ranch for that kind of expenditure,” Lestig said at a July 31 board meeting. “It’s much better to funnel that money back into the community.”

Trail safe despite attack, say police and park officials Daylight assault on woman ‘an anomaly,’ police chief says

around her neck and dragged her into the woods near Reynolds Landing, an area north of West Mineral Avenue near Breckenridge Brewery, according to an arrest affidavit. The suspect, Johnny DeWayne Harris, 48, is accused of sexually assaulting Ursini and tying her up. Ursini was able to escape, and a passerby apprehended and held Harris until police arrived. Harris faces seven felony counts in the attack, including kidnapping, assault and sexual assault. Harris also faces numerous charges in a pair of attacks in Denver in March, police say. Harris previously served prison time for sexually assaulting a teenager in Texas. Harris’ next court hearing is set for Aug. 13 on the Denver charges.

Littleton’s Mary Carter Greenway is a safe place to be despite a shocking daylight attack that led to the capture a man suspected of several sexual aof assaults, Littleton police and South lSuburban Parks and Recreation said. “We just don’t see that many crimes on that path,” said Littleton Police Chief Doug Stephens. “There’s not much criminal activity, and it’s certainly not increasing. This crime was a horrible anomaly.” Vanessa Ursini, 29, was walking her dog along the trail that follows the South Platte River through Littleton on July 25 when a man threw a rope

GoFundMe page on her behalf has raised nearly $40,000. Ursini declined an interview through a publicist handling her media inquiries. Ursini “did everything right” leading up to the attack, Stephens said. “She was aware of her surroundings. She had her big dog with her. She was walking in broad daylight on a heavily populated trail through a major metro area. It just didn’t matter to this person — they were a predator, and they were going to do this regardless. This could’ve happened to anyone.” Stephens said no officers are currently assigned to patrol the path on a regular basis, though officers have the option to do so when they’re not responding to other calls. “We’re just too short-staffed to have somebody out there all the time,” Stephens said. “What I envision when we’re more fully staffed is to have officers on bikes and our

ATV more regularly.” Stephens said officers will sometimes drive police cruisers down the trail. Primarily, Stephens said, observation on the trail is up to citizens and South Suburban Parks and Recreation District rangers. South Suburban has five rangers who patrol outdoor areas across the entire district from Sheridan to Lone Tree, said Andrew Jennings, South Suburban parks and open space director. He said two seasonal bike rangers patrol the Platte trail in the summer. The rangers don’t have arrest powers, Jennings said, and their training says not to pursue crime suspects. “More than anything, they’re there to provide information to the public,” Jennings said. “We try to leave enforcement up to the police.” Jennings said the rangers have not reported increased criminal activity in the area.

Community leaders oppose Trump’s rollback of car standards State air quality board to discuss low-emission vehicle standards BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Several Colorado leaders are vocally defending the state’s ability to protect air quality through vehicle regulation. “We need to remember that policies made at the federal level impact communities across our country,” said Maria De Cambra, Westminster’s mayor pro tem. “The Trump administration’s rollbacks would undermine our efforts. We must protect the progress we’ve made, and that means leaving the clean car standards in place.” De Cambra was one of five community leaders and elected officials who spoke at a July 31 press conference in Lakewood opposing the Trump administration’s EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rollback of clean car standards. She was joined by Lakewood City Council member Dana Gutwein; Elizabeth Babcock, the manager of air, water and climate for the city and county of Denver; Jen Clanahan with Colorado Moms Knows Best, an activist group consisting of a network of parents with a mission to help protect Colorado’s outdoors, quality of life and clean air; and Jacob

Smith, the executive director of Colorado Communities for Climate Action, a coalition of Colorado governments that advocates for state and federal policies to protect Colorado’s climate. On Aug. 2, President Donald Trump’s administration announced plans to roll back emissions and fuel-economy standards for car model years 202225 and attempt to override the ability for states to set their own stricter standards to protect clean air. The administration argues that halting fuel-efficiency “could save $500 billion in ‘societal costs,’ avert thousands of highway fatalities and save Americans an estimated $2,340 on the cost of each new car,” according to an Aug. 2 article published in the Washington Post. However, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed an executive order on June 19 titled “Maintaining Progress on Clean Vehicles.” It directs the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to develop a rule that establishes a Colorado Low Emission Vehicle program, then propose the rule to the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission for possible adoption by Dec. 30 into the Colorado Code of Regulations. “Basically, the Low Emission Vehicle standards currently under discussion would keep Colorado … on the current standards, even if the federal standards are weakened,” Smith said. If these advanced clean car standards are adopted, he added, they would “protect Colorado

1 8 T H

from whatever happens in D.C. from these rollbacks.” America’s clean car standards were finalized in 2012 under then-President Barack Obama. These standards require automakers to ensure that motor vehicles — cars, pickup trucks and SUVs, for example — are more fuel efficient and achieve ongoing improvements. The Obama administration’s rules “mandate an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon for the 2025 model year,” while the Trump administration’s proposal “would freeze the increase of average fuel economy standards after 2021 at about 37 miles per gallon,” according to the Washington Post. Speakers at the July 31 press conference noted that clean car standards protect public health and clean air in local communities, while driving innovation and saving consumers money. “Ozone pollution damages developing lungs, potentially causing health issues that can last their whole lives,” Clanahan said. “In order to keep our children healthy, we need clean car standards that reduce air pollution and all the damage it does to our children.” Colorado is one of 12 states and the District of Columbia that have followed California’s lead to set its own tailpipe restrictions to try to curb greenhousegas emissions — protected by a legal waiver granted under the 1970 Clean Air Act.

“Maintaining our Colorado way of life as our population grows is a challenge,” Gutwein said at the press conference. But air quality is “something that matters now and into the future.” The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment website states that Hickenlooper’s “executive order does not direct CDPHE to propose a zero-emission vehicle program or to mandate the sale of electric vehicles.” However, Smith believes that zeroemission vehicle standards could give Colorado consumers more options for electric vehicle purchases and help push down the cost as the volume of sales increases. This would “further contribute to reduced air pollution and carbon pollution,” Smith said, “and accelerate the build-out of Colorado’s 21st century electric vehicle infrastructure.” The Air Quality Control Commission will discuss the low-emission vehicle standards during its regular August meeting, scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Aug. 16 in the Sabin/Cleere Conference Rooms at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, 4300 Cherry Creek Drive South, Denver. “Poor air quality affects everyone who breathes,” Babcock said. “Colorado can be a leader in protecting public health by pushing back against the (Trump) administration’s ill-advised rollback of America’s clean car standards.”

If I’m accused of taking pictures, I can’t claim that I was framed QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

ake a picture. It lasts longer. That’s my motto. I have over 10 million photographs, maybe

more. My friends call me “F-Stop Fitzgerald.” I take pictures everywhere I go. I mean it. In the flowers, in the showers, in my car, at the bar, at the game, at the concert, at the park, in the dark, at the zoo, on the shoreline, at the borderline, up the creek, over the river, through the woods, wow. In the gallery, in the museum, in the church, in the steeple, in the diner, in the library, in the attic, in the john, in the aisles (no-

body smiles), in your face, now. I can’t stop and I don’t want to. If I didn’t take pictures, I wouldn’t know where I’ve been. Take away my camera, and I would disappear. There would be no more me. What do I do with all of these photographs? I’ll get to that, right after I take pictures of the Tinker Toys, the toybox tomatoes, and the toilets on the Toyota. I have pictures of Lily and pictures of Dorian. In focus, out of focus, close-up, and far away. Every town I’ve been to. Every sandwich, every pickle, even an Indian head nickel. I have to, I

must, I’ve even taken pictures of rust. I have pictures of this and that and next to nothing, sideways smiles and smirks, bottles of wine, fruits of the vine, robes and capes and bikinis. There are pictures of nuts and bolts and salmon and Dave. Manicures and pedicures, daisy chains and maypoles, tetherballs and Tanquerays. Moths and mosquitoes and mosques and Judge Alieto. Swifts and swallows and swans. Lords and ladies and Don Juans. Clinics and gizmos and nights on the town. Oh, fireworks, my favorites, and plenty of clowns.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR More on media bias I really appreciate the back and forth over the past few weeks over media bias. Let’s separate facts from opinion, which Paul Mauro almost did in his letter to the editor. Media is biased. Matthew Gentzkow, of the University of Chicago did an interesting quantitative study of newspapers where his conclusion was that newspapers in more conservative areas were more conservative, newspapers in more liberal areas were more liberal. The market place is driving the bias of at least some media outlets. Michael Crichton referred to the GellMann Amnesia effect, when you read an article on a subject that you have

some familiarity with and realize that the journalist has no understanding of the subject. This can lead to a journalist getting things exactly backward. Crichton noticed it for generalist journalists writing about the media business, Murray Gell-Mann noticed it when reading articles on physics. Ignorance is driving the bias of at least some media outlets. Where the information is available, such as the Center for Public Integrity, journalists have been shown to donate far more to Democratic candidates and liberal causes than to conservatives or Republicans.

They were the real deal, their love and relationship were, and still are, a living example to every couple that wants to experience a closer and more loving relationship. Jean Ziglar will also be remembered as the “Happy Hugger.” If you were ever blessed enough to meet her, that means you probably got a hug. If you ever spent time with her, you probably heard her laugh. Zig Ziglar might have been the man on stage and on those recordings, but Jean Ziglar was his world. Zig would say she was like his American Express card, he never left home without her. Why was that? Well maybe it’s because she always made sure he had enough money in his wallet in case of an emergency when he first started traveling and was away from home. Maybe it’s because she

reminded Zig that they could never outgive God as they built a loving, faithful, and faith-based marriage together. Maybe it’s because when he was on stage she could be seen sitting right in the front row time and time again. Zig would say that Jean Ziglar was the best car door opener in all of Texas, but if she opened her own car door more than a few times in an entire year it would be a lot. He would open her door for her everywhere they went. Even if they had a driver, he would want to be the one to open her door for her. Why? I can tell you why, Jean Ziglar was one of the most amazing women in her own right. She was humble, she was kind, she was strong, she was a woman of faith, she was a loving mother and grandmother, she was a friend, she was smart, she was funny, she was an amazing hugger. Jean Ziglar was love. As I close out this column I want to share a memory and a vision that has been planted in my mind and on my heart for many years. I was traveling

with Mr. Ziglar to an event where he would be speaking to tens of thousands of people. We were in the green room getting ready and Jean Ziglar was with him. Instead of going through his notes one more time as he typically would do before each and every event, he was spending his time with Jean. And Jean, in her loving way, was making sure he was ready to go out on stage. But as they did this, they were loving and flirting, and gently kissing and hugging. They were sharing just how much they loved each other. There were a few people in the room with us, but that didn’t seem to phase Zig or Jean. And then as we walked out through the tunnel, Zig and Jean walked together holding hands right up to the point where Zig was to go on stage. Even as they were announcing his name, Jean was holding his hand and telling him how God loved him and how she loved him. It was amazing, truly amazing. I was standing next to a security guard who made the walk with us.

He was about 6’5” tall and a big man. I could see him wiping a tear from his eye too, as we both had tears of joy and appreciation for this wonderful and loving couple who together changed the lives of millions of people around the world. When asked for one of the reasons why he loved his dad so much, Tom Ziglar answered, “I love my dad so much because of the way he loved my mom.” She truly was a special woman. So how about you? Do you need a little courtship after marriage? Or are you already living a full, wonderful, and loving life now? I would love to hear you story at gotonorton@gmail. com and when we can be the supportive, loving, and encouraging person behind someone else, it really will be a better than good week. Michael Norton is a resident of Castle Rock, the president of the Zig Ziglar Corporate Training Solutions Team, a strategic consultant and a business and personal coach.

but Clinton beat Trump by 5 points in the same district. Clearly we can see that Centennial is pretty evenly split, and we should expect a variety of viewpoints from our media outlets. We also need to recognize the bias inherent in us, and when we see journalists get the facts plain wrong, send them an email, it’s surprising how they won’t make a mistake twice.

When they go to a bookstore, the Littleton family said, it’s Tattered Cover. “I like the small feel, and we’re pretty big on supporting local businesses,” Heidi said Aug. 3. When Amazon burst onto the scene in the 1990s and as digital books grew in popularity, speculation swirled that the death of independent bookstores like Tattered Cover and reading as people knew it was imminent. That belief has since been, mostly, debunked. Independent bookstores are still here. They’re still selling hard copies of texts across genres. And they have a loyal customer base, owners say. Still, there’s no doubt that models like Amazon’s or of large retailers such as Barnes & Noble affected business for independent bookstores, say indie shop owners in the Denver metro area, both in the used and new book industries.

In the World War I period, 1914-18, especially after 1917 when the U.S. Congress declared war, United States residents were deluged with visual reminders to join and support the troops, support government expenses via purchase of Liberty Bonds — and hate those evil Huns … That war began in Europe in 1914 with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and cast the Central Powers — Germany and Austria-Hungary — against the Allies — France, Great Britain, the Russian Empire. Belgium was soon devastated by German invasion and conflict as France contested. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and many citizens opposed U.S. involvement at first, but by 1917, German submarines were sinking U.S. and British merchant vessels and word

The group lived out of a makeshift camp in the mountains and would head down the hill to perform acoustic, harmony-driven tunes for residents and students. The band’s most famous member is Chris Daniels, who was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2013, and also includes Will Luckey, George Cahill, Rob Galloway and Kevin Milburn. Despite its popularity in the area, success never came calling, and the group dissolved in 1975. But Boulder alumni and fan of the band Lee Aronsohn decided to track down the members 40 years later for a reunion concert. The resulting film, “40 Years in the Making: The Magic Music Movie,” is directed by Aronsohn and will be specially opened at the Sie Film Center, 2510 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, on Friday, Aug. 10.

A comedy duel in Parker In a contest between improv teams, it’s been my experience the audience is usually the winner.

IF YOU GO “Over the Top,” World War I propaganda, is displayed at the Littleton Museum, 6028 S. Gallup St., Littleton. Hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Littleton Museum has opened a new exhibit, “Over the Top,” based on that propaganda. An introductory statement contrasts propaganda to advertising. Propaganda, it advises, “presents what is desirable … Influences thinking … Is mainly used in politics to sell ideas,” while advertising “Influences consumption of products and services, directs purchases and is mainly seen in business and to sell products …” Estimates show the U.S. population was about 30 percent immigrants at that time, and material was slanted towards existing biases and suspicions. The source for much material was a powerful Committee on Public Information. An interesting local-angle sideline is a photo and feature on one George Creel, a former Denver Post reporter,

at Mainstreet, 19600 Mainstreet in Parker, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11. The event pits comedy teams from the Parker Players against each other to determine the funniest while performing comedy games in the vein of TV’s “Whose Line is It Anyway?” For more information and tickets, visit www.eventbrite.com. Clarke’s Concert of the Week - Father John Misty at Red Rocks Josh Tillman, better known as Father John Misty, is one of those musicians that doesn’t seem to leave much room for the casual listener. People either find his sharp and, at times, biting lyrics and persona endearing and entertaining or pompous and selfindulgent. There’s unlikely to be a consensus on the man any time soon, but his music remains fascinating and insightful. While it doesn’t reach the peaks of “I Love You, Honeybear,” this year’s “God’s Favorite Customer” is a straight shot of John Lennon-esque instrumentation and lyricism. In support of the album, Father John Misty will be stopping by Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 15. And as if Misty wasn’t enough, indie rock polymorphs TV on the Radio will open the show. Don’t miss it. For tickets, visit www.redrocksonline.com/events/detail/father-johnmisty.

Wilson supporter and crusader who suggested formation of the aforementioned committee/agency, which grew large. It coaxed support of fighting the German submarines and land combat as well. Graphics on many posters are well-designed and very colorful and eye-catching, A gallery visitor might try to place themselves in an ancestor’s shoes as they absorb the pitch for loyalty. Where did they live? Who might have been their neighbors? How might they get their news and from what sources? Additional funding was needed to fight this war and the campaign to buy Liberty Bonds was intense, implying that it was the duty of everyone to support the war effort financially. People were urged to prove loyalty by enlisting in the military services, giving their government financial support via the purchase of Liberty Bonds — and of course, work up serious hatred for and paranoia over those Huns, who are depicted in “pickelhaube” helmets, rounded metal, topped with a little spearpoint. Four Liberty Bond drives raised over $17 billion. Posters encouraged an emotional response, with caricatures of the foe. Photography was effective as propaganda. A cluster of pictures with text suggests how people at home might help the effort: Fort Logan soldiers hold loaves of bread; women worked on ordinance production lines; a

Women’s Liberty Loan Committee met; Mina Van Winkle, head of the U.S. Food Administration’s Lecture Bureau, traveled promoting Victory Gardens. An interactive spot on the back wall offers questions and factoid answers found by lifting a little door. To the left of the gallery entrance is a bleak photo of a snow-covered field filled with trenches and barbed wire — with equally bleak information bits: 1,666,289 estimated casualties; 25,000 miles of trenches in France, Germany, Belgium; Dinant, a small Belgian town, lost 874 men, women and children during the devastating German invasion May 23, 1914. A Big Bertha cannon had an eight-mile range; 59 air raids over England in 1915-16 (London bombed eight times); 171 tons of chlorine gas used … Another feature of the era’s colorful graphics was on the covers of sheet music, for songs still familiar: “Over There,” “I Didn’t Raise My Boy to be a Soldier,” “Johnny, Get Your Gun.” Plan a visit with a bit of time to read the well-presented text to appreciate the interconnections and impact of this propaganda material. It might have appeared in Littleton at post offices, public buildings, the train station, on walls everywhere, here and across the nation. Omnipresent messages geared to affecting one’s actions seem a century away — and somehow familiar …

“We’re rooted in the Denver community,” he said. “Our buyers who buy books for the stores live in and around Denver.” Their selection of books also differs by location and aims to cater to each demographic. Buyers at the Aspen Grove shopping center, for example, may look to different products than those on Colfax, Vlahos said. There’s also the warm cup of coffee, the comfortable couch that begs you to stay and special events for people of all ages. Jim Norris is the co-owner of Mutiny Information Café on South Broadway in Denver, which has operated as a bookstore for about 30 years, under different names and owners. He believes Amazon is “counterproductive to the community spirit” of independent bookstores and that large chain stores don’t have the same character as indies, he said. “They’re deliberately made to be generic, so they’re easy to go in and out of,” he said. Mutiny is “super eclectic,” and a space where shoppers can find comics, used books, vinyl records and visit the in-house coffee bar. Essentially, Norris said, it’s a “pop culture playground.” Holly Brooks has owned Capitol Hill Books since 2005, but like Mu-

tiny, the shop has sat in its corner store location across from the state Capitol for decades, she said. Brooks is the third owner. “Frankly, most books are out of print,” she said. “The publishers have all shrunk down and consolidated and they can’t afford to publish something that’s not a bestseller.” When a book is no longer published, that’s where independent used bookstores come into the picture, Brooks said, offering recycled copies not available elsewhere. At least once a week, she said, and including the morning she spoke to Colorado Community Media, Brooks gets a call from one of Tattered Cover’s locations asking if they have a book a customer of theirs can’t find. Both Brooks and Norris took over their respective stores from past owners with a mission to keep the shops going. “You can’t see a store like this close,” Brooks said. “It’s just wrong.” Despite 37 years under the store’s belt, Brooks said, she still gets the Amazon/internet questions on occasion. “People ask me frequently if the internet is hurting us,” Brooks said. Shop owners have responded to Amazon differently. Capitol Hill Books sells online through the site. “It’s that extra little bit that can make the difference,” she said of the profit, which helps them stay open and remain the “neighborhood used bookstore.”

Heidi and Maddox Herman from Littleton say they prefer stopping at independently owned Tattered Cover when they want to shop at a bookstore. JESSICA GIBBS Norris said Mutiny doesn’t work with the company. “I just don’t see a need to feed the beast,” he said. Either way, independent bookstores say they’re here to stay, what-

ever the next challenge may be. “That’s where you’re going to find F the real treasures,” Norris said. “It’s not just corporate prints, it’s not just best-sellers. It’s those weird, obscure books.”

SPORTS

No pain, just GRAIN

Time keeps moving as another season comes around

Keilan Wilbanks is an avid cornhole player who has become very proﬁcient at the sport. He organizes a casual tournament each Wednesday evening at Reeds Southside Tavern in Lone Tree. PHOTOS BY JIM BENTON

Cornhole offers good time for participants of all ages BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ou can find Keilan Wilbanks playing cornhole three or four nights a week — he practices almost daily. “It’s a social thing. You can do it outside or inside,” he said. “It’s kind of like a park game, and it’s fun to do.” Wilbanks, of Denver, is among the devotees to cornhole, a simple game that essentially requires the player to throw a corn-filled bag into a hole in a platform. The game’s popularity is growing in Colorado, and you can find people tossing bags at many sports bars, restaurants and backyards throughout the Denver metro area. “I do believe cornhole has increased in popularity,” said Denver resident Stan Mika, who plays and designs custom cornhole boards. “It’s because anyone can play no matter their age, their gender or their physical condition. It’s an easy way to be outside socializing with friends and family.” And some players, he added, say they get better after a beer or two. “The American Cornhole Championships were recently broadcast on ESPN, which speaks to its rising popularity,” Mika said. “Kind of reminds me of the attention the U.S. curling team got after the Olympics. Cornhole is just accessible. After buying boards and bags, no extra investment is required.”

A game for everyone Cornhole is a simple game that has been played in some manner for centuries. SEE CORNHOLE, P23

CORNHOLE Most sports develop special terminology, and cornhole has its own vocabulary. These terms were obtained from Wikipedia and other various sources. • Cow pie (ace) – Bag that lands on the board and is worth one point. • Airmail – A bag that does not bounce or slide on the board but goes directly into the hole. Sometimes called a swish. • Back door or dirty rollout – A bag that goes over a blocker bag and into the hole. • Backstop – A bag that lands past the hole but creates a backboard to prevent a slider from going off the board. • Blocker – An ace or cow pie that lands in front of the hole to block the hole from a slider. • Cornucopia – When a player throws all four bags into the hole during one inning. This is also called a fourbagger. • Cornhole – A bag that falls into the hole, which is worth three points. • Dirty bag – A bag that is on the ground or is hanging off the board and touching the ground.

TERMINOLOGY • Flop – A type of toss that doesn’t spin horizontally or vertically. • Leprechaun – When a player lands all four bags on the board without getting any in the hole. • Screaming eagle – A bag thrown beyond the board without hitting the board. • Slippery granny – Scoring three bags in a row on the board. • Trip dip – When a player cornholes three out of four bags on a single round. • Hooker – A bag hitting the board and hooking or curving around a locker and going into the hole. • Jumper – A bag that strikes another bag on the board, causing it to jump up into the cornhole. • Sally – A toss that is thrown too weakly and lands on the ground before reaching the board. • Shucker – When a player throws a bag that strikes an opposing players’ bag, knocking it off the board. • Slider – A cornhole that slides into the hole.

ime doesn’t stop for anybody. This is a subject that most of the time I would prefer to overlook but it is impossible. Time flies and there is nothing to do about it except take advantage of each day and look forward. Seems like it OVERTIME was just a few days ago that the baseball championships at All-City Field wrapped up action for the 2017-18 sports seasons. Well, the 2018-19 season is Jim Benton already here as fall sports teams began practice Aug. 6. According to CHSAANow.com the first scrimmages and contests can be held Aug. 9 in boys golf, softball and boys tennis. Cross country, field hockey, gymnastics, boys soccer, spirit and volleyball can start competition on Aug. 16. Football season opens on Aug. 23 and fans, players and coaches are actually looking forward to the campaign. Football games should definitely be more entertaining with the return for the next two seasons of league alignments that follow traditional groupings from years ago. Tied for third Parker golfer Shane Bertsch was 18-under-par but finished in a third place tie in the CoBank Colorado Open golf tournament held July 27-29 at the Green Valley Ranch golf course. Bertsch was the 36-hole leader in the tournament, which was reduced to 54 holes because heavy rain made the course unplayable for the first round. He finished with rounds of 65, 64 and 69 for a 198 total, which was one stroke shy of a playoff for the title. He earned $9,500. Former Douglas County state high school champion Kyler Dunkle, now a senior at the University of Utah, was the low amateur in the tournament as he tied for ninth place with a 12-under-par 204. He carded rounds of 66, 70 and 68. SEE BENTON, P27

CORNHOLE FROM PAGE 22

Two players (or four for doubles) take turns throwing bags filled with dried corn at a raised inclined platform with a hole at the far end. The boxes are set 27 feet apart for tournaments and usually 24 feet apart from the front of the box to box for more casual games. A bag that goes into the hole scores three points and one on the board is worth one point. Matches are broken down into innings or frames with each player throwing four bags. Any bag that touches the ground during the throw does not count. Cancellation scoring is used and the first team or player to 21 with a difference of two points is the winner. Any of a team’s or individual’s bags knocked into the hole by the opposition counts. Many contestants are adept at throwing the bags of corn while holding refreshments in their other hand. Great athletic skills are not needed to play the game. Young, old, male and female can participate in cornhole, a social game that allows for interaction between competitors. Play Mile High organizes cornhole leagues and tournaments in bars and parks around the Denver area. A Colorado state tournament is set for Oct.27 at Softball Country at 2101 W. 64th Avenue in southwestern Adams County. Plus, there are numerous national tournaments for singles and doubles participants each year, with increasing tourney prize money rang-

Caleb Valdez and his mother, Naomi Hettig, of Lone Tree take part in a casual cornhole tournament on Aug. 1 at Reeds Southside Tavern in Lone Tree. JIM BENTON ing from $36,000 to $68,000. The game, also known by such names as tailgate toss, bean bag toss, baggo, corn toss and bags game, is easy to play in the backyard or in parking lots and tailgate gatherings to keep people entertained before barbecues or games. Cornhole has also started to make inroads as a charity event. Several fundraising tournaments have been held this summer. Ford Church, executive director of the Cottonwood Institute, said a few years ago the educational nonprofit organization decided to raise money with a cornhole tournament instead of another golf tournament. This year, The Throwdown: A Charity Cornhole Tournment was scheduled for Aug. 5 at Union Station in

downtown Denver, with 32 two-person teams scheduled to play in challenge and competitive divisions. Origins debated Mika, who started his own business that he calls The Colorado Cornhole Guy, didn’t speculate on the origin of the game, which has been and will continue to be debated. Many argue that ancient civilizations invented cornhole by tossing rocks at holes in the ground. Others claim Native Americans — citing the Blackhawk tribe in Illinois — filled pigs’ bladders with dried beans and tossed them competitively. Germans maintain they started cornhole with burlap bags filled with a pound of corn, but when the price of corn swelled, the game lost popularity.

German immigrants began playing in Cincinnati during the 1800s where corn was abundant and available. Then there was Kentucky farmer Jedidiah McGillicuddy, who apparently devised the game to play on the farm with friends and family. Still, the game probably hasn’t changed much in one aspect because, no matter if it is a game that involves family, friends, a league or a tournament, it is natural for players to become competitive. “It gets competitive,” said Alicia Shoulder of Lone Tree. “It takes a little bit of practice. It’s not like super easy. When you first start you are really not that good, but you get there. It is just fun to play.” As simple as the game might seem, it can get difficult at times for elite players, who need to determine the correct footwork and bag release and use speed shots, spin shots or stop shots. Players can grip the bag on the side and give it back spin, or hold it flat so the bag lands like a pancake. “Every approved bag has a slick side and sticky side,” explained Wilbanks. “If you are going first, you want to block so you use the sticky side with a higher trajectory and land it right in front of the hole so it sticks there. If you go second, you can go with a slider, a little lower trajectory and harder push to push the bag in — or you have the dunker which goes over the top and straight in the hole. “It is more like a chess game. You have to figure out what your opponent wants to do first. If they are sliding people you want to block them. If they are dunkers, you had better get your bags in position to get them all in.”

Super coaching staff It is easy to rattle off or at least find the names of high school head football coaches around the area but the assistant coaches are important to any program yet they often go unnoticed. However, it is hard to overlook the assistant coaches that Valor Christian head coach Ed McCaffrey has assembled for his first season at the helm of the Eagles. The 15 assistants on McCaffrey staff are loaded with National Foot-

ball League and college playing experience and many are well-schooled as high school football coaches. Six coaches, including McCaffrey, have won a combined 10 Super Bowl rings and Richard Harvey was on two teams that played but lost in Super Bowls. The assistant coaches that have won Super Bowl rings are Ben Hamilton, Tyler Polumbus, Jeff Thomason, Brandon Stokley and John Howell. Jim Benton is a sports writer for Colorado Community Media. He has been covering sports in the Denver area since 1968. He can be reached at jbenton@coloradocommunitymedia. com or at 303-566-4083.

When it seems everything is suddenly going wrong or nothing makes sense from a hospital bed, a chaplain can be at your side, patient or family, and help you try to make sense out of what’s going on within you or around you.

FROM PAGE 12

“How did I end up here? How am I going to heal and get out of this place? And what does it mean if the chaplain comes knocking at my door? Am I close to death? Does she know something I don’t know?” Turns out that the chaplain can be a huge support during those times. When it seems everything is suddenly going wrong or nothing makes sense from a hospital bed, a chaplain can be at your side, patient or family, and help you try to make sense out of what’s going on within you or around you. We walk into rooms with patients recovering from minor surgeries to “code blues” and cardiac arrests. And for those patients who don’t make it, we are there in support of their family through their grief, peace or questions. Contrary to what most people think, we’re not all about God and religion. In fact, some of us don’t even have a religion, but we’re trained how to have those conversations with people around their beliefs, faith or no faith … how to be a peaceful presence in a room amidst the chaos. But the real unsung heroes are the custodial staffs behind

ate, that people are just people, whether they’re at a town hall or in a hospital bed. Or whether they’re concerned about a local issue or their body. That’s what I’ve re-learned in chaplaincy — that every person deserves to be seen and treated with dignity.

the scenes who diligently clean each patient room or operating room to reduce the risk of infections; the social workers helping the patients though the complicated health care system; and the nurses who glide from room to room (sometimes running) to ensure every patient is safe, on their way to recovery and as comfortable as possible. And the patients? They’re just like most of us — uncomfortable when half naked with strangers, have a desire to be healthy, and don’t want to die. In times of crisis, some might be fearful, stressed, or emotional while others are optimistic and even funny. I’m reminded once again, as I was in the Sen-

Clubs and cults, waiters and waitresses, brides and grooms, judges and juries. There are others like me. I’m not one of a kind. We’re everywhere and we’re everything. We’re up, we’re on, we’re twenty-eighteen. Bother you? Too bad. Get a life. I’m here to document. I am here to record. If I wasn’t taking pictures of everything in sight, I’m sure I would be bored. They all go into files and folders, by day and by time. There are headings and subheadings, and topics that rhyme. Bowling balls and melon balls. Cockpits and cocktails. Leos and Virgos. Buffaloes and Rams. Hoover and Coulee and Oroville Dams. Balloons and lagoons and the “Golden Pond” loons. A Scorpion with a camera wanted to get across a river, but couldn’t swim, so he asked a nearby Frog for a lift. Halfway across, the Scorpion started taking pictures. “Why not just enjoy the ride?” the Frog asked the Scorpion. “Can’t,” the Scorpion said in a supplicatory tone. “It’s not my fault; it’s my nature.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.
