MY NAME IS
DENNIS GORTON Working with suburban families struggling with poverty About me We have lived in Parker about 10 years. I am the executive director of SECOR (Southeast Community Outreach) Cares, and that is the nonprofit free food market. We deal and work with who are struggling with suburban poverty. I spent 40-plus years in full-time church ministry as a pastor and church consultant doing leadership development. That meant I moved around the country a lot, and my wife and I decided we needed to stay put somewhere. SECOR came to me and asked if I had interest, and God ended up directing me to move this direction. What is SECOR Cares? Day-in, day-out, we are working with and meeting with families who are struggling with poverty living in the suburbs, attempting to get them back to self-sufficiency. And 1-in-9 families are struggling with poverty. What inspires you to do this kind of work? The need became very obvious as I began to explore and look at all that was going on. There are some food banks out there who just give people a little bit of food here and there. As I got involved in it, I didn’t want to recreate the problems of urban poverty, which is multi-generational poverty, but rather we wanted to come up with solutions that could keep

people from raising a generation of kids who would also be in poverty. To me, that’s changing the world one family at a time. And I’ve used that line quite often, we’re changing the world one family at a time. What I love about Parker I love our new public library. Both my wife and I are avid readers. She goes there most of the time, but when we’re with our grandkids we’ll spend a couple hours there. We have a friend at the Parker orchestra, so we take that in at least a couple times a year. We also love, love, love the trails. I love the fact that it is like living in a small town with all the conveniences of living in the city. I know people who will laugh at hearing it’s a small town. But I love the small-town feel, the restaurants, the shopping downtown. We live here very deliberately. We love Parker.

Fair and Rodeo’s fireworks show gets green light Town of Castle Rock and Douglas County recently lifted fire bans BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Douglas County has confirmed a fireworks show scheduled during the Douglas County Fair & Rodeo will move forward after both the county and Town of Castle Rock lifted fire bans thanks to bouts of rainy weather in recent days. 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, beginning at 9:30 p.m. in the outdoor arena at the Douglas County fairgrounds, 500 Fairgrounds Road, Castle Rock. County and fair officials anticipate
high attendance during the fair’s Saturday night activities and are asking people take advantage of offsite parking options and free shuttles to the fairgrounds. Shuttle pick-up locations are at the Wilcox Building, 301 Wilcox St., and the Tri County Health Department, 410 S. Wilcox St. Offsite parking is available at both shuttle pickup locations, along Perry Street south of Plum Creek Parkway, at DC Oakes High School and onsite at the fairgrounds. All options are free. The Castle Rock Fire and Rescue department is also reminding the public that civilian use of drones, formally called unmanned aerial vehicles, is prohibited during the fireworks show and at nighttime.

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

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.

A bit of modern with an Old West feel BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
Parker residents generally want a historic flair in Mainstreet’s architectural design, one that blends modernity with a feel from the Old West, according to results of a survey by Partnering for Parker’s Progress. The survey follows up on the April survey asking residents what they would like to see downtown, from hotels to restaurants to office spaces. The results of the summer-long survey by Partnering for Parker’s Progress (P3), the town’s urban renewal authority responsible for accelerating urban development, were released this month and show how the majority of Parker residents feel about the look of the Mainstreet area. The “My Mainstreet Visual Preference Survey” surveyed 342 residents on a variety of questions related to architectural designs for Parker’s downtown area, accompanied by photos of what those designs could look like. The survey began in April and was presented to residents at various town events, where partici-
TRAINING The Aurora-South Metro SBDC helps existing and new businesses grow and prosper through workshops and consulting.
TO SEE SURVEY RESULTS: Go to letstalkparker.org/my-mainstreet pants were given photos of potential architectural looks and voted on which choice fit best in Parker. Mayor Mike Waid was pleased with the feedback the survey provided, which allowed the town to collaborate with its citizens in determining the downtown area’s future regarding such categories as retail space, commercial space, parks and other attractions. “This project allows this town as an entity to come together and be able to define ahead of time,” Waid said. “There’s going to be points where those overlap, and that’s the sweet spot. It helps to create certainty of `this is what we all want to see from our community.’ ” Parker’s Mainstreet area today is mostly restaurants and small businesses. The Douglas County Public Library was added in 2015 on the east end of Mainstreet. Survey reveals consensus Participants responded to potential looks for nine categories: • mixed use retail with office above • mixed use retail with residential above • restaurants • boutique or small retail • park or green space; • mall or shared office space

NICK PUCKETT • market or farmers’ market near the PACE Center, south of Mainstreet • outdoor market or shopping center near the Pine Street curve, at the east end of Mainstreet • and courtyard or plaza structures near the Pine Street curve. For the most part, the consensus was to incorporate a historic character into Mainstreet’s architecture, Waid said. “Bringing that with a modern contemporary look, that adds char-
acter,” he said. “If everything looked identical, that becomes sterile. But by having this range of look and feel, that’s what brings interesting character to this area.” Participants also were asked what they liked about the downtown areas of Littleton, Castle Rock and Fort Collins. The majority of people said they liked the pedestrian-friendly aspects of all three areas the most. SEE SURVEY, P8

Sibling rivalry alive and well at speedway Brother-sister duo 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 Mile-High 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-
Parker resident Sarah Vang, right, talks to her brother Gary as she waits her turn on the starting line during the July 20 time trials for the Mile High Nationals Drag Races at Bandimere. Sarah, a Chaparral High School graduate, races in the super comp division and her brother races in top dragster classification. TOM MUNDS 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.” 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 dial-in. 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.” SEE SPEEDWAY, P19

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.”
As residents waited for the show to begin, many children and their parents stood in the street, looking toward Rock Park, hoping to catch a glimpse of the cattle herd moving through downtown. PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS

Tips to stay SAFE during severe afternoon storms Always keep an eye on the sky
thunderstorms — sometimes accompanied by lightning and flash floods — are more likely. While the precipitation is good for the state during what are also the hottest months, the powerful weather conditions can be dangerous. Below are five tips to keep you and your family safe.
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 backyard, which was covered in pools of water. Monsoon season in Colorado generally lasts from July to September. During this time, severe afternoon
Subscribe to weather notification services Always keep an eye on the sky and watch for signs of approaching storms, such as dark clouds and strong winds, the National Park Service says. If a storm is approaching, monitor NOAA Weather Radio, local radio stations or a weather station on a smartphone. A severe thunderstorm watch means intense thunderstorms could
brew quickly, whereas a severe thunderstorm warning means weather is occurring in an area.
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 miles per hour or higher are occurring or likely, according to the National Park Service. People in an area with such a warning should seek shelter immediately to avoid flying debris. If thunder or lightning is present, stay away from open areas and seek shelter in a building or vehicle. When indoors during a severe thunderstorm, stay away from windows, the National Park Service says.

Other popular aspects of each given downtown were variety of dining spaces, landscaping, outdoor seating and places to drink and socialize.

The results will also provide guidelines for developers as a framework to accomplish the goals of the My Mainstreet Project, Rogers said. “Bottom line, if we want to improve and progress Parker, community engagement and what we hear to the built environment plays a fundamental role,” Rogers said. Rogers said the next step is to develop illustrative images that align with the feedback from the Land Uses and Visual Preference surveys. “The goal would then be to engage our community once again to receive feedback on ‘what could be in downtown Parker,” Rogers said.

Former youth pastor pleads guilty to sexual exploitation Sentencing set for Sept. 21 BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
A former Parker youth pastor accused of sexual exploitation of a child accepted a plea agreement July 23 at the Douglas Country Courthouse in Castle Rock. Joshua Clemons, 35, a former youth pastor at Crossroads Community Church in Parker, was charged Feb. 28 with Clemons three counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust. According to the plea agreement, Clemons pleaded guilty to two charges — of sexual assault of a child by one in a position of trust and of sexual exploitation of a child. Both charges refer to the incident that happened Feb. 1, 2011 in Parker.
August 2-5
Clemons’ sentencing is set for Sept. 21 at 3 p.m. at the Douglas County Courthouse. Clemons was a youth pastor at Crossroads Community Church in Parker from 2008 to September 2015. During his time there he worked with the youth ministry, led yearly mission trips, coordinated and led service opportunities for students and adults and developed mentoring programs for students. According to the February arrest affidavit, one victim said she had an intimate relationship with Clemons that began when she was 17 and said they regularly had sexual relations. The victim stated Clemons expressed the importance of keeping their relationship secret. Clemons most recently worked at the International Academy at Denver at Harrington between August 2016 and December 2017. Denver Police said they do not believe any of the incidents occurred at the school.

VOICES
Look, in a word, the deal is, arguably, pointless QUIET DESPERATION
Craig Marshall Smith
L
ook, I want everyone to stop saying “look” like I just did, before making a statement. I hear it all the time now. It’s used this way, I’m guessing, to let your listeners know what you are about to say is momentous. If what you’re about to say is momentous, there is no need to preface it with an alert. Trust your momentousness. Words are my best friends, and I hate to see them gathered at the river and beaten with rocks until
they have no coloring. Case No. 1: “Fake news.” Case No. 2: “Witch hunt.” Case No. 3: “Let me ask you this.” And of course, no one owns a “hot water heater.” Newcomers to Colorado: you will begin to hear a word day and night, everywhere you go, like it or not. It is unavoidable: Don’t even try. It will come out of nowhere, and land on your mind. It’s this: “Broncos.” It refers to the local National
Football League team. The players behave like 5-year-olds at a clown party if they simply do what they are paid to do: Run five yards with the ball without falling down. But they are adored and revered, and papers and programs are full of them. If one of them buys a toothbrush, it’s a breaking story. You’ll get used to it. You won’t have a choice. I don’t give a Rick Upchurch about the Broncos, but they were here before I was, and that’s the
way I have to look at it. I lived near Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, and heard touchand-go’s all the time that rattled and rolled the house. Someone reminded me, “They were here before you were.” I never got used to it, but I accepted it. There are words I avoid that have nothing to do with their overuse. I simply don’t care for them. “Arguably” is one of them. SEE SMITH, P13
Setting goals sets us on the path to power
H LETTER TO THE EDITOR Child care a key investment As an educator with more than 30 years of experience, I have seen firsthand how high-quality early childhood programs help children and families thrive. While quality child care is not cheap, it is an investment that we must make. Child care is important for the healthy development of children, and it’s also essential for parents to maintain employment or return to work. A study last year found that a family of four earning less than $25,000 a year with an infant and toddler in a child care center would have to spend 73 percent of its income on child care. That’s why I’d like to thank Congress, and specifically Sen. Bennet, for voting to double funding for the Child Care and Development Block Grant. CCDBG helps low- and middle-income families afford child care. We must call on

Congress to continue these investments and ensure CCDBG receives this historic level of funding again in fiscal year 2019. We are already seeing the positive impact of these funds here in Colorado. Colorado has made significant improvements to ensure children and families reap the benefits of consistent child care. These changes include raising the eligibility requirements for families and creating statewide exit eligibility so that families don’t lose benefits simply because they moved counties, among others. When we invest in children, particularly those living in poverty, we are setting them up for success. Child care is important for our youngest learners, our families and our communities. Susan Hill Centennial
ere is the challenge, find someone who has achieved greatness, excellence, or has completed the pursuit of something worthy and meaningful. And when you find them ask them WINNING if it was by WORDS pure luck, or if they had set a specific goal. Or maybe ask them if they had planned and prepared on their way towards realizing their dreams. Michael Norton I spend a lot of time reading business books, biographies, and personal development books, articles and blogs. I probably spend even more time listening to podcasts and watching motivational videos to keep my mind focused on the pursuit of elevating my own game. Meeting and speaking with other successful people from all walks of life is also part of my cookbook when it comes to my own personal and professional development. The topic lately has been goal setting. Not just goal setting,
but goal setting and the achievement of our goals and dreams. And just like I challenged you at the beginning of this column, I challenged myself to see if I could find anyone who has met with success and who did not have a goal or plan, in advance of the realization of their dreams and goals. Whether I spoke with a very successful CEO, a top performing sales professional, a husband and wife, a teacher, a doctor, a student or a local entrepreneur, everyone I spoke with who had experienced success had planned for that success, prepared for that success, and set goals for themselves along the way. It was in 100 percent of the conversations. Many people I spoke with about goal setting said that they had goals, but when I dug in deeper, they could not clearly define them. Others I met argued that goal setting just wasn’t for them, they would rather wing it as winging it has gotten them this far in life. Think about the people you know who may have lost weight recently. Maybe it was only 10 pounds or so, and maybe it was significantly higher.

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
“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. 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.

It has no meaning. It’s the same as saying nothing. “Arguably” means you haven’t made a commitment to what you are saying. It lets you off the hook. I prefer to be on the hook. It comes from being a schoolteacher. I learned that hedging got me nowhere. It was always best (I thought) to be forthright and honest. If I asked them to draw an apple, and one looked more like a quail, I might say, “You call that an apple?” I would never leave it at that, however. I would mention that very few apples have feathers or a beak. At one time, Look was a magazine, along with Life and The Saturday Evening Post. I preferred The Saturday Evening Post because of the covers. Many of
them were painted by the great Norman Rockwell. Rockwell was exceptionally talented. He was discredited by most Modern Art critics because his paintings were often overly sentimentalized. I overlooked it, and just studied his techniques, which were flawless. Illustration at one time was a top dog. I also admired Sir John Tenniel’s illustrations for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Lewis Carroll vividly described Alice and the other characters; Tenniel vividly depicted them. Now we have computer graphics, and true illustrations are rarely needed. 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.

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

The exhibit features the largest collection of artifacts from the game outside of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and museum in Cooperstown, New York. 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. The exhibit features artifacts from throughout the history of the game, including the nailed-together bat used by Cobb, SEE BALL, P25

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

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

them for a while and let them reel you in! Morrell is a Cuban-American artist with a truly original view of his world — making it his own — yet clearly recognizable. Morrell is quoted: “I wanted to find a way to make these well-known views into my own private discoveries” … James M. Allen of Eastman Museum said of these works: “They tie the ground to a scenic view, transform the geology of the land into his canvas …” Buenos Aires, Argentina resident Adam Jeppesen, who spoke in late June, walked 487 days alone from the North Pole, through the Americas and concluded at the South Pole in Antarctica, taking pictures every day. Some from this adventure are exhibited, including scratches to negatives that occurred in his backpack. He discovered a positive side to solitude and his works “reflect the physical and emotional experience of his adventure.” Sharon Harper, who will lecture at 7 p.m. Aug. 23, attached a camera to a telescope to take pictures of the night sky, continuing her exploration of the
role of photography as we explore the surrounding landscape. (The camera can expand our vision as well as alter it …) Astronomical images, closeups of nature, photos large and small, precise and abstract make up this carefully curated exhibit. It would be perfect to share with visiting family and friends this summer. • Some related programs: Daily tours with a docent are planned through Sept. 16 from 1:30 to 2:15. Aug. 3 at 4 p.m., Conversations with Curators features Eric Paddock, who organized this exhibit, discussing the history and practice of landscape photography. Aug. 23 from 7-8 p.m., Anderman Photography Lectures features Sharon Harper talking about how the camera is a way to translate kinds of connections that we’re not even aware of and the kinds of connections that are very abstract and difficult to talk about.

MADDIEPALOOZA FROM PAGE 10
Monument Foundation, Veteran Expeditions and Fallen Heroes Honored. Donations will also be accepted. Once the stage is erected at Fourth and Wilcox, attendees will see a lineup that has Bart Dahl, the event’s music coordinator, bursting with excitement. “I truly believe some of these bands could pop and be the next big thing,” he said. “If we get a few minutes with them this year, that’s awesome.” Dahl has spent most of his career in artist management and recently as a talent buyer for Denver area clubs. For Maddiepalooza, he’s booked headliners Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, which recently finished an international tour with Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats.
Also performing are Wildermiss, One Flew West, RL Cole & The Hell You Say, Trapdoor Social, Delta Sonics, The Outliers, Anthony Russo Band and SR3. 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 giv-
ing 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. Bacon and Dahl attributed that projection to heightened marketing ahead of the 2018 festival, but also to the town’s population growth. In addition to Dahl’s lineup, Bacon said, they’re bringing in more family-friendly activities. 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 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.”

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 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.

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
1
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-
2
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.
3
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
4
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.

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, P25

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

San Francisco Giants outfielder Willy Mays’ glove and a hall of the game’s most iconic jerseys to take visitors through the evolution of the game. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for baseball fans,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of the History Colorado Center and longtime baseball fan. “You can make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown (to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum). But if you can’t do that this year, you will feel pretty satisfied if you can make it to downtown Denver. “You can start from something people already love and help them understand how it fits into bigger currents of American history, bigger currents of Colorado’s history — and that is a really effective way to help people appreciate our shared history together,” Hanson added. The exhibit explores the game throughout time and draws parallels with significant events in American history, such as World War II and the Civil Rights movement. Learn how Babe Ruth paved the way for celebrities we know today like Kim Kardashian. Walk through some of the highest and lowest points of the game and some of baseball’s most infamous names like the 1919 Black Sox and the notorious heroes of the steroid era. The exhibit recently displayed the Holy Grail of baseball cards, the rare, mint 1952 Mickey Mantle card. The card is one of three in the world and, of those three, is considered to be the
most pristine. Another version of the card is valued at almost $60,000 at Pennsylvania-based Steel City Collectibles. The display was only open for three days to keep the card preserved. “At a time when America was in turmoil, baseball games crossed all socio-economic, ethnic and political barriers and always brought people together. It still does,” said Marshall Fogel, the lifelong Denver man and owner of the collection and Mantle card. “When I think about this Mickey Mantle baseball card, I hold this same nostalgic feeling.” The exhibit takes visitors on a journey of the game’s history and doesn’t finish without acknowledging the unsung stars of the Negro League or taking a look back at the history of the game in the Centennial State. Of course, there’s also a nod to the 2007 Colorado Rockies, who reached the World Series but were swept by the Boston Red Sox. “We hope that this exhibit helps people remember how much fun it is to ... hang out with friends and family and watch a baseball game,” Hanson said. There is, Fogel concurred, nothing better. “Baseball is the only sport of a singular hero — everything else is a team,” he said. “When you are a baseball player, you are up at the plate with nine enemies facing you, and when the ball comes at you in one-quarter of a second, it’s only you who can hit that ball. Just you. “And, I think about the field ... it’s a place you can go and look at a beautiful, perfect scene, and let everything go.”
