The 50,000-square-foot center will offer 22 bowling lanes, more than 130 arcade games, a ropes course, laser tag arena, dining area, bar and other familyfriendly activities. Based in Dallas, Main Event Entertainment currently has 42 locations across 16 states. Highlands Ranch fits the company’s mission. “Our objective is to provide an incredible family experience,” said Corey Will, director of marketing. “We mainly, for the most part cater to young families, families with kids. That is the core of our business.” Construction is underway north of Plaza Drive at 103 Centennial Blvd., near Broadway. Neighboring businesses include a movie theater, a Residence Inn and several restaurants, including C.B. & Potts, Red Robin and The Rock Wood Fired Kitchen. Surrounding communities have similar entertainment destinations,

MY NAME IS

REV. ANNIE ARNOLDY

Pastor of discipleship at St. Andrew United Methodist Church About me I was born and raised in Greenwood Village — not too far from here. I went to Hope United Methodist Church. I attended Colorado State University and have a BA in English. I then went to Iliff School of Theology in Denver and got my Master of Divinity. Ministry is my first career. I knew as a teenager that was what I wanted to do and pursued it through college. At St. Andrew United Methodist Church, I oversee the adult education program called Pathways. I work with the adult education team to bring in speakers and organize classes. A calling When I was a teenager, I was sitting in church and during the sermon, I heard a clear voice say, “I need you to do this.” The next year, we received our first female clergy at the church and she mentored me through the ordination process. My favorite part is the people. The people who attend our church are incredibly active in volunteer service and committed to spiritual growth. They are really willing to connect with other people.

on the activity. Specials and promotions include a corporate All-Access Pass for $20.95 and a School All-Access Pass starting at $18.95, according to Main Event’s website. Community members can expect an upbeat atmosphere with bright colors and modern décor. Each activity has its own look and feel, Will said. The arcade game section is “almost Vegaslike.” The corporate area is more adultfocused with billiards and shuffleboards. The interactive state-of-the-art bowling alley offers 19 different games catering to kids, teens and adults. Representatives expect Main Event Center to open in late 2018, though an exact date has not been set. Prior to the opening, the company will hire approximately 200 employees. Job opportunities will be posted at www. mainevent.com. “We make a major focus on hiring really sharp fun people. It’s not just another job,” Will said. “Every day is different and you know you’ve done your job when families walk away with smiles on their faces.”

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 considering a proposal to annex the parts of Dove Valley that fall outside the city, Marciniak said. Typically, a property owner petitions to annex into a city, he added.

Tips to stay SAFE during severe afternoon storms Always keep an eye on the sky BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Torrential downpours, high-speed winds and flash-flood warnings in areas of Highlands Ranch the week of July 23 signaled the start of monsoon season. And for some residents, the erratic weather was unsettling. “I live off of Broadway between Highlands Ranch Parkway and Wildcat and I can tell you... it was bad,” one resident wrote on a Highlands Ranch Facebook page after a July 24 afternoon thunderstorm. Another posted a photo of her flooded backyard. Monsoon season in Colorado generally lasts from July to September, when severe afternoon thunderstorms — sometimes accompanied by lightning and flash floods — are more likely. Below are five tips to keep you and your family safe.

Douglas County household chemical roundup is Aug. 11 STAFF REPORT

Douglas County residents can dispose of their household chemicals, paints, fluids batteries and more at the roundup Aug. 11 in Highlands Ranch. Proof of Douglas County residency is required, and the cost is $25 per vehicle to properly dispose of waste. The roundup takes place at Shea Stadium, 3270 Redstone Park Circle, Highlands Ranch. Items that are accepted include: • House, garden and pool chemicals • Paint and paint products • Automotive ﬂuids, fuels and propane tanks (1-20 pounds) • Vehicle and household batteries • Items containing mercury • Aerosols • Fluorescent light bulbs • CFLs • Passenger vehicle and pickup truck tires (removed from rim) Items that are not accepted include business and commercial waste, radioactive waste, electronic waste, explosive waste, smoke detectors, waste containing asbestos, tractor tires and scrap metal. The Douglas County Household Chemical Roundup events are sponsored by the Highlands Ranch Metro District and Centennial Water & Sanitation District. Learn more at www.tchd.org/ hcroundup.

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.

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 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 mph 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 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 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.

‘More than an address’ Schwab’s reach in Lone Tree has impacted present, future BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

t the heart of the RidgeGate community in Lone Tree is Charles Schwab, one of the nation’s largest banking and brokerage firms. It’s difficult to miss. The first building, five stories tall, gleams proudly facing traffic on Lincoln Avenue, just west of Park Meadows Boulevard and a block west of I-25 at 9800 Schwab Way. The second one, just behind it, another fivestory building, is open to the public with a cafeteria and lobby space featuring local art. The campus spans 650,000 square feet, almost the size of 14 football fields. “We want to be more than an address in the community,” said Kent Clark, senior vice president of Schwab’s Lone Tree campus. Lone Tree became a new home for Schwab in 2014. Since then, the surrounding RidgeGate area has slowly grown alongside it into one of the city’s most bustling neighborhoods. Schwab has grown, too. The original two buildings were built in 2014 and a third was completed a year later on the campus’ south side. In early July, it broke ground on a parking garage, which also will feature a new workout facility and a restaurant. The RidgeGate area, which extends from Lincoln Avenue and Yosemite Street to the I-25 off ramp, will eventually be home to the city’s downtown and myriad apartment complexes, townhomes, plazas, high-profile businesses and an extension to the RTD light rail system, which is expected to be completed within the first half of 2019. On July 17, city council passed a plan to bring in lower-cost housing for the neighborhood’s east side. The full development of RidgeGate East, which extends south and east along Ridgegate across I-25, may not be completed for another 40 years. While the vision for the future of RidgeGate shakes out over time, Schwab has staked its claim as Lone Tree’s — and Douglas County’s — largest private employer, with about 4,000 employees. Schwab is one of the newest tenants to RidgeGate, a list

Schwab has been a key part in facilitating that plan. The firm was a key lobbying partner for the extension of the RTD light rail route for its E and F lines, keeping the commuting interests of namely Schwab employees in mind. And Schwab’s influence throughout the city has already played a major role in the city’s future. Mayor Jackie Millet praised the firm for its involvement in the community and described the relationship between the city and the company as mutually beneficial. “When we talk about trying to get transportation grants from the federal government to advance economic development and mobility in our communities, when you speak

A growing area Longtime city resident Sharon Van Ramshorst remembers when most of Lone Tree was nothing but ranchland and a couple of I-25 exits people seldom used. “When I moved here, it was out in the country,” she said. “There weren’t any roads that ran through it. Yosemite (Street) ended at the waterfalls where the old library used to be. Antelope were on the RidgeGate property.

You didn’t drive by it even — except if you were on the freeway.” Many Lone Tree residents feel the same as the former councilwoman about the city’s growth in the past 20 years: excited, proud and welcome to the change. “There have been a lot of changes,” Van Ramshorst said. “A lot of people see that as a positive. There are people who wish things stay the way they were.” But, she said, “for the most part (Schwab) has a positive impact.” Lone Tree, incorporated in 1995, annexed RidgeGate in 2000 and Heritage Hills, northeast of Yosemite Street and Lincoln Avenue, in 2001. The

latter has become a neighborhood of luxury homes, while the former is made up of various high-end townhomes and apartments. It’s not cheap to live in Lone Tree. The median price of single-family homes sold in the city between June 2017 and June of this year was $815,000, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The median sales price for a home in the entire Denver metro area in June was much less, about $450,000, according to DMAR. Holwell believes companies like Schwab help remedy the situation by providing higher wages so people can afford homes in Lone Tree. As of January, Lone Tree’s population was just under 15,000 people, a number that city officials estimate doubles during the work day with commuters and shoppers. Holwell said no economic SEE SCHWAB, P40

Castle Rock High School and Douglas County High School marching band members will join Trapdoor Social for one song. Three of the festival’s bands have already played Red Rocks this year, Dahl said. “To me, that says a lot.” This is the festival’s fifth year. It began in 2014 near the anniversary of the date Maddie’s Biergarten opened in downtown Castle Rock in 2013. The festival gained nonprofit status in 2016 and has been Maddie’s way of giving back to the community that supported its startup, said Michaela Bacon, one of Maddiepalooza’s founders and co-owner of Maddie’s Biergarten. “It’s amazing,” Bacon said. “To see where it’s grown today and what we’re doing, and how we’re giving back to the community, is just beyond our expectations.” Past years’ attendance fluctuated between 7,000 and 10,000, she said, and this year she’s expecting the biggest turnout to date.

Attractions, such as bouncy houses and rock walls near Third and Perry Streets, will run from 3 to 6 p.m. Bacon’s husband, Floyd, takes on a more behind-the-scenes role during the festival but he shares his wife’s passion for music. The festival, he said, is a way to showcase craft beers and first-class entertainment they all hope keeps pace with other large-scale Colorado festivals. “I’m just excited about it,” Floyd said. “I’m excited about it every year.”

The show will take place from atop The Rock in Castle Rock at 9:15 p.m. on Aug. 4 and should be visible throughout town. That’s good news for attendees of rising country music star Cody Johnson’s concert. Johnson’s show will immediately follow the fireworks, begin-

COMMUNITY EVENTS open fair and rodeo Steer drive and parade bring community to downtown Castle Rock BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Two community celebrations helped kick off the Douglas County Fair and Rodeo over the weekend — the Western Heritage Welcome, which includes a steer drive through downtown Castle Rock, and a parade the following morning. On July 27 the traditional Western Heritage Welcome began shortly after 6 p.m. despite heavy rains. Cowhands drove a herd of longhorn steers from Rock Park to Festival Park as onlookers huddled together under umbrellas, cheering on the cowhands. “We just thought this would be such a fun thing to see,” said Chiara Bialkowski, who attended with her sons Robert, 4, and Dillon, 2. On July 28, a parade entertained residents who lined streets throughout the downtown. The fair runs through Aug. 5 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Castle Rock. Hayden Mcavenia moved to Castle Rock in 1995 and has attended the parade since 1996. “We did it every year and we also volunteered at the fair,” Hayden said of going to the parade while growing up in Castle Rock. “I love bringing my kids to it now.”

CALM AFTER THE STORM

STAFF REPORT

Throughout August, Larry H. Miller Dealerships will try to fill a car, truck or SUV at each of its showrooms with school supplies such as backpacks, pencils, highlighters, scissors, binders, rulers, calculators and lunch bags. A joint effort among the dealerships, Denver’s 9News and Volunteers of America Colordo Branch, the 17th annual “Stuff for Students” school supply drive will benefit pre-kindergarten to high school students in more than 15 school districts in Colorado. “One of the greatest investments we can make as a company is in our youth,” Ray Reilly, senior vice president of operations at Larry H. Miller Dealerships, said in a news release. “By participating in ‘Stuff for Students,’ we’ve been able to ensure that local students have the tools they need to succeed in school. 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.”

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. It has no meaning. It’s the same as saying nothing. 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.

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.

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 n this far in life. a Think about the people you w know who may have lost weight m recently. Maybe it was only 10 h pounds or so, and maybe it was w significantly higher. a j a SEE NORTON, P13 t a

Winter Shelter Network provides crucial service

he forecast is calling for temperatures in the mid-20s, but inside the fellowship hall of a church in Douglas County, a diverse community is enjoying a hearty home-cooked meal and lively conversation. Some of the people gathered just met while others are catching up on what has happened in their lives over the last week. By 9:30 p.m. some people have gone home to sleep in their beds and some have settled onto the cots on the other side of the fellowship hall. From Nov. 1 through March 31, this scene is repeated nightly at local churches which, through participation in the Winter Shelter Network, host women and children from Douglas County who are experiencing homelessness. Launched in 2016, WSN was designed to leverage the strengths of our local churches: compassion, space, volunteers

“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. I preferred The Saturday Evening Post because of the covers. Many of them were painted by the great Nor-

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. Here are a few of my favorite quotes on the subject: “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” - Jim Rohn

and hospitality. Each night of the week, a host church opens its doors to guests who have been admitted to the Winter Shelter Network. Generosity and fellowship are extended to guests from the moGUEST ment they walk in the COLUMN door until the shelter doors close the next morning. Guests are given a safe place to rest, all three meals for the day, and an opportunity to connect with their neighbors. Those three gifts — rest, meals, and conErin White nection — are at the core of the mission of WSN. In the first two winter seasons, WSN provided 2,209 bed nights to guests in the shelter; 2,110 volunteers generously

gave more than 27,000 hours to the program. The value of the meals donated by the overnight host churches was over $33,000. Those statistics tell just part of the story of the impact of WSN. Some people might argue the program’s most meaningful impact is seen through the connection that guests make with volunteers, other guests, and with resources to help them get back on their feet. The WSN Care Coordinator works to help guests identify and break down barriers that prevent them from achieving the stability they desire. This past season, all of the guests who were able to work found jobs or increased their income while staying in the shelter. Several guests moved into transitional or permanent housing. Many of the guests who come to the Winter Shelter Network are single women between the age of 40 and 70.

Some are experiencing homelessness for the first time; others have spent several years living out of their vehicle. But they share a lack of relational support from family or friends. The diverse community built through WSN becomes a network of support and an opportunity for hope. It changes the lives of guests and volunteers. One volunteer said this about her experience, “I realized they were no different from me. They had a childhood and a past, filled with jobs, family, schooling, travel and experiences …. and dreams for the future. I was encouraged to see the flame of hope that was still in their hearts, even in the midst of the toughest of circumstances.” Erin White is program administrator for Winter Shelter Network.

man 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. Ask your children if they have ever heard of Rockwell. “Sam?” “No, not Sam.” Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident.

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.” - Zig Ziglar “Review your goals twice every day in order to be focused on achieving them.” - Les Brown “I don’t focus on what I am up against, I focus on my goals and ignore the rest.” - Venus Williams And although there are many great books on goal setting, if I was going to recommend one book on how to achieve my goals, it would be Michael Hyatt’s book, “Your Best Year Ever.” So how about you? 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.

he one-of-a-kind bat swung by Ty Cobb, the former holder of the all-time hits record before Pete Rose. A room of historic team jerseys. Baseball’s role in the American story. 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

Cooperstown, New York, at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver. The artifacts, memorabilia and photographs are only a fraction of Marshall Fogel’s expansive collection. The “Play Ball!” exhibit has been open to the public since Major League Baseball’s Opening Day in March and will close on the last day of the season Sept. 30.

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

Landscape photography carries viewers away Abelardo Morell’s tent camera image on the ground of “Mt. Moran and the Snake River from Oxbow Bend. Grand Teton National Park” Wyoming 2011, is in “New Territory: Landscape Photography Today” at the Denver Art Museum. COURTESY PHOTO

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 of sand, soil and more. 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, site-specific 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. Stand in front of them for a while and let them reel you in! Morrell is a CubanAmerican 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

IF YOU GO The Denver Art Museum is at 100 W. 14th Ave. Parkway, Denver. Open daily. The Hamilton Building is at the southeast corner of 13th Avenue and Bannock Street.

(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.

Parade marshals recognize sister city relationship BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

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.”

‘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 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

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.” SEE ATTACK, P25

Sibling rivalry alive and well at speedway Brother, sister from Parker among racers at famed track in Morrison BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@OURCOLORADONEWS.COM

The powerful growl and pop-pop of the engines filled the air July 20 as Parker resident Sarah Vang waited her turn at the starting line during time trials at the Dodge NHRA MileHigh Nationals drag races at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison. “Drag racing is a family tradition,” the Chaparral High School graduate said. “My parents both raced here at Bandimere and now my brother Gary and I are racing. We don’t race in the same division but there is still a lot of sibling rivalry. We always compare things like reaction times and how we

well we made our runs.” When she was younger, Sarah competed in junior dragsters. As she got older she moved into the sportsman class and now is competing in the super comp classification. Her brother races in the top dragster classification. In addition to drag racing, Vang is a volleyball player. She played volleyball for Chaparral and now plays volleyball for Colorado Springs-Pueblo. But she still finds time to compete in drag racing. “Drag racing is a thrill and a lot of fun,” she said. “It is always great to be around all the friends you have made in the sport and going fast never gets old. I like everything about drag -racing. The launch is exciting but, of course, the most exciting thing is when the win light comes on in your lane.” SEE SPEEDWAY, P25

SPEEDWAY FROM PAGE 24

Vang said she and her brother travel to compete in drag racing at tracks in the National Hot Rod Association Division 4, which includes tracks in Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Cars in the Super Comp classification are powered by engines that produce 600 to 800 horsepower. From a standing start the cars can reach speeds of 165 to 175 mph at the end of the quarter-mile run. The rules also say a car in this classification can’t complete a run faster than 8.90 seconds. Each car makes timing runs and the quickest time under the 8.90-second cap is called the dialin. The dial-in is used to make competition as fair as possible, as the car with the slowest dial-in gets to leave the starting line first. However, if a driver goes faster than the dial-in time, it is called

a break-out and the other driver wins. “Like I said, we grew up drag racing and it is a family tradition,” Vang said. “It is not an inexpensive sport, so we try to do most of the work on our cars ourselves. When we come to the races we each haul a trailer that contains the car, tools and parts. We set up in the pits, pull the cars out of the trailers and begin to get ready to go racing. At the races, the pit area is filled with teams set up the same way.” The Mile High Nationals draw teams from around the United States. The professional drag racers in top fuel, top fuel funny car and pro stock all have full teams and top-of-the-line equipment, and at national events like the Mile High Nationals the professional teams occupy the central area of the pits. Drag racing is a bit different because a ticket gives fans access to the pit areas so they can visit the

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.”

set-up of their favorite drivers and watch the teams work on the cars. One fan said it is like being able to visit the locker room of a professional sports team. The remainder of the extensive pit area is filled with the trailers that haul the race cars and the vehicles that pull them. The trailers of the teams in the sportsman classes are lined up next to each other in rows, and the rows of trailers that make up the pit area extend for about half a mile Vang said the pit area is set up the same way during regular weekend races at Bandimere, except there are a lot fewer entries in the races. “For all the races we set up for the weekend of racing,” he said. “When the day’s racing is over we spend time socializing with all the friends we have made in the sport. It is sort of like one big happy family. That is just another reason why I expect our family will continue competing and enjoying all that is the sport of drag racing.”

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

August 2, 2018A 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.”

Roxborough State Park named Gold Standard Site Leave No Trace center honors facility for promoting outdoor ethics STAFF REPORT

Roxborough State Park in Douglas County has been recognized as a Gold Standard Site by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. The park is the newest public land recreation area and the first in Colorado to receive the designation, according to a Colorado State Parks news release. Gold Standard Site designations are awarded to public recreation lands that exemplify successful “Leave No Trace” ethics and showcase strong organizational commitment to the promotion of outdoor skills, ethics and stewardship to help preserve and protect the natural landscape for generations to come, the news release says. “Roxborough State Park is very honored to receive the Gold Standard Site designation, the first park in Colorado to be awarded this status,” Roxborough State Park Manager Ben Vinci said in the news release. “Our amazing volunteers have always embraced the Leave No Trace principles as part of their outdoor ethic and have worked tirelessly to educate our visitors and to promote these important skills and ethics throughout the park.” The designation is part of the Boulder-based center’s Leave No Trace in Every Park initiative, recognizing outdoor spaces that demonstrate the highest standard of practicing and

promoting Leave No Trace ethics. The Friends of Roxborough originally worked with park staff on a goal of reaching Gold Standard Site designation by 2021. Receiving the designation three years ahead of the goal demonstrates how effective the efforts have been, and how receptive park visitors are to learning and maintaining a strong outdoor ethic, the release said. Roxborough State Park will now act as a model for other public lands, specifically other Colorado state parks, to emulate. “The park staff, along with its more than 100 volunteer naturalists, are deeply committed to protecting and preserving the beauty and geology of the park,” John Liberatore, volunteer naturalist and member of Friends of Roxborough, said in the news release. “By educating the public through the Leave No Trace program, we are able to help conserve the natural areas we love while creating a road map for other parks to follow in the future.” Roxborough State Park underwent a rigorous planning and implementation process to be named a Gold Standard Site and was ultimately selected based on a combination of the following criteria: • A history of successfully implementing Leave No Trace Outdoor skills and ethics into management, programming, outreach and education efforts at the site. • Staff formally trained in Leave No Trace. • Leave No Trace signage throughout trailheads, visitor centers and campgrounds as well as Leave No Trace language and messaging in-

Centura Health connects EMS, hospital records STAFF REPORT

Being aware of the signs, symptoms and treatment that a patient received in his or her home and in the ambulance on the way to the hospital can be a huge asset to providers in the hospital. That data is now easily accessible by physicians in the hospital to seamlessly continue the care that was started in the field. Centura Health has partnered with ESO Health Data Exchange to bridge the gap between emergency medical services and hospitals by providing real-time bidirectional data sharing. The exchange is offered at all Centura Health locations. “Integrating between emergency medical services and the receiving physicians is a large step forward in improving the care of critically ill patients,” Matthew Brougham, DO and medical director at Littleton

Adventist Hospital, West Littleton Emergency Room, said in a news release. “It’s collaborative ideas like these that drive better practice and outcomes.” Users can access patient care records in the hospital’s electronic health record, which delivers records and discrete data to receiving facilities and returns demographic, billing and clinical outcome data to EMS. With the Health Data Exchange, emergency medical services and hospitals across the Centura Health system can track 12-lead performance, stroke alerting and EMS diagnosis comparisons. ESO’s hospital customers include facilities across the nation’s largest health care systems and has successfully implemented nearly 200 interoperability projects with hospital platforms.

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, P34

SCHWAB

The Charles Schwab campus in RidgeGate became the city’s largest private employer when the campus was completed in 2014 and has a significant impact on the surrounding community.

FROM PAGE 6

impact report on Schwab’s reach in the city has been done yet, though he predicted that Schwab has had a hand in helping several businesses grow as well. Holwell said the city will likely conduct an economic impact report on Schwab at some point in the future. And Van Ramshorst, like many of her fellow residents, sees Schwab as a welcome neighbor and a sign of the future. “There’s just naturally a lot more people coming and going. You see people walking to lunch, you see people walking down the street, you see people crossing the bridge,” Van Ramshorst said. “I consider them a fine neighbor and I have no issue with them being in the city. And I think more companies could follow.” Part of the community The community, for the most part, has embraced Schwab. In return, Schwab has invited the public to walk through its campus, eat at its cafeteria tables and recline on its lawns to enjoy a scenic view of the Leaf Bridge. Clark said being closely involved with the community and giving back to it are crucial to achieving the firm’s mission to help people with their financial investing and savings.

NICK PUCKETT

“A campus like this allows us to do that in a pretty robust way,” Clark said. When it opened, Schwab added its own welcome mat to its campus on the southbound side of I-25 — a sideways sign with the company’s script-block logo reading upward, unmistakably pinning its 15-acre home in Lone Tree. When the Colorado Department of Transportation said the company needed a billboard permit for the off-premise advertisement, Schwab instead constructed a small office building adjacent to the sign, making the sign on-premise and allowing Schwab to keep it there for all south-bounders to see. On Aug. 11, Schwab will host one

of the city’s two summer concerts at its amphitheater, which seats roughly 600, not including standing room, for the second time. The grassy, threelevel amphitheater sits between the two original buildings, offering a view of the sun setting just behind the mountains to the west. “As we look at this site in RidgeGate and have conversations with the City of Lone Tree,” Clark said, “we want to be a part of that community in different ways.”

“I consider them a fine neighbor and I have no issue with them being in the city. And I think more companies could follow.”
