Dragon Boat Festival Western Welcome Week marks 85 10-day event has ‘something for (almost) everyone’
By Peter Jones Western Welcome Week’s theme this year is “Spirit of the West” – not that the West and its historic quaintness have ever been absent from the time-honored goings-on. Littleton’s 85-year-old mainstay has always been defiantly traditional, surviving the digital revolution, economic downturns, including the Great Depression, and the inevitable onslaught of more contemporary and “hipper” festivals. More than 50 events comprise the week that has long outlived the seven days implied by its alliterative name. The schedule runs the gamut, from the popular parade and fireworks show to gold panning on the Platte, a fishing derby, a pancake breakfast, a swing dance and the ever-popular rubber ducky race. Most events are either free or very affordable.
New to this year’s 10-day week, Aug. 9-18, is the Littleton Criterion bicycle race on Aug. 11. The week’s event roster also includes a formal welcome to a delegation from Bega, Australia, Littleton’s sister city, on Aug. 15 in Bega Park. The block of Rio Grande Street that runs though the park will be rechristened Bega Street. Cindy Hathaway knows about as much about Western Welcome Street as anyone. The longtime resident has been attending the events for nearly four decades and has been involved as a booster, volunteer and staff member for 30 years. Today, she is Western Welcome Week’s executive director, the festival’s only full-time year-round employee. Denver Herald recently asked Hathaway for her thoughts on the venerable institution. Herald: What is the most unusual event within Western Welcome Week?

Music grows up for LeAnn Rimes Singer headlines Rocky Mountain Music Festival Aug. 11
A
By Peter Jones t age 30, LeAnn Rimes has had a realization. “I’m going to make mistakes, and the great thing is I can write about them,” she said. Her new CD, Spitfire, for which Rimes co-wrote eight of the 13 tracks, is her first CD of a highly personal nature – and in some ways, it is a new beginning. “I’ve never really listened to an album of mine until this one,” she said. “I always felt like I was recording things for other people because I was obligated to. I enjoy listening to this album.” Spitfire marks a sharp departure for Rimes with its commercial ambivalence and stark personal subject matter, or what she describes as an intimate conversation with whoever happens to be listening. It is the kind of banter best held over a few drinks when Rimes sings bluntly of the publicized infidelity that signaled the end of her first marriage. In “What Have I Done” and “Borrowed,” Rimes essentially tells her side of the story. “I was able to have a say in my own life, even though people were misjudging and carelessly writing crap,” she said. “It was time for me to finally have a say. There was nothing to hide and I think it was the perfect way to let all these emotions come out. Music has always come from my heart and soul when I performed, but I didn’t know I could write a record like this.” Rimes had initially planned to structure the conceptual Spitfire chronologically, but wound up nixing that idea in favor of a more visceral, less linear approach – or “The Truth in No Particular Order,” as the CD cover promises. Amidst Rimes’s honest confessionals are songs of anger, love and regret: “Love would be easy if you never had to think about how somebody else would feel,” she sings in “Who We Really Are,” the CD’s closing song. Although the bluntly honest Spitfire is Rimes’s 15th release in 22 years, it may as well have been her first, to hear the singer-songwriter tell it. “The whole process changed for me with making this album,” she said. “I’ve never been so transparent in my music and it really has given me a whole new perspective
Music has always come from my heart and soul when I performed, but I didn’t know I could write a record like this. - LeAnn Rimes on her new CD Spitfire on life and music. I don’t think I’ve ever been as appreciative of my gift until now.” Rimes will perform music from Spitfire, as well as earlier material, on Aug. 11 as the headliner of the Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Clement Park in Littleton. While 30 may be a typical age to change directions and consider one’s priorities, Rimes has crammed more experience than most into her three decades. She cut her first album at age 11. Influenced by the likes of Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland, her singing would transcend genre. By the time she was a teenager, her rich and searing vocals were garnering comparisons to the late Patsy Cline. “She was one of the first people I ever listened to,” Rimes said of Cline. “Whatever emotion she was feeling, you felt with her. I was always able to hit the notes, but there are a lot of people who hit notes, but you don’t feel anything.” Although born in Mississippi, the Rimes family moved to Garland, Texas, in time for local DJ Bill Mack to take the singer under his wing. After a series of radio shows and personal appearances, Mack handed her the song that would make her a star. “Blue” had been written by Mack some two decades earlier with Cline in mind, but the song’s melancholic yodel and lyrics of longing were conveniently well suited to Rimes’s emotional and pitch-perfect vocal style. The singer says she may have been too young and naïve at the time to feel the pressures that one could have felt as the result of such comparisons. “I’m not one to be intimidated very often,” she said with a laugh. “Even though that was written for
Patsy Cline, it kind of fell into my lap, as it should have.” The breakthrough 1996 single would become a Top 10 hit and make Rimes the youngest singer in the history of the Country Music Association to be nominated as Best Country Singer. Her first major-label album sold a recordbreaking 123,000 copies during its first week. Rimes eventually veered in other musical directions, a move that would broaden her potential audience in the pop world, but strain her conditional relationship with the conservative Nashville establishment. “That’s one of my pet peeves of the South,” she said. “One of the biggest misconceptions is that I wanted to get away from country music. I wasn’t necessarily pushed out, but when you have a crossover hit, it was kind of taboo – and then when you’re also a kid, people have all these excuses not to play your record. I think this new record is more country than anything that’s played on country radio now.” That is despite the distinct contribution from rock guitar legend Jeff Beck on the bluesy come-on “Gasoline and Matches.” As Rimes turns 31 at the end of August, she is clearly reeling from the cathartic liberation she has found on Spitfire. “For me, it’s about my voice and telling a story and just making people feel something,” she said. “That’s what I want to do from here on out.”

Ranching Memories KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
It takes a farm and a ranch to feed us Summertime is when the corn grows in the heat of the day, the wheat kernels fill and the sweet clover, Brome grass and Timothy start to go to seed spill and their ripening seeds back into mother earth. The hay is cut and harvested providing nourishment for livestock through the long Colorado winter months. In the spring, ranchers use tractors to drag large harrows with metal teeth around the meadows spreading the winter accumulated cow manure as a natural fertilizer for the hay fields. The bailed hay is stacked for
winter feed or loaded on trucks and shipped to markets where hay brings a premium price with the ongoing drought. Irrigation is the key to growing any crop and in Colorado we receive an average of 13 inches of annual rainfall, so dry land winter wheat is about the only crop that can yield a successful harvest if lucky enough to receive a few spring rains. The once green Arkansas Valley is now a withering sea of brown fields as Aurora has purchased much of the farmer’s irrigation waters. Livestock are kept off of the hay meadows and are turned loose to graze on private property, Bureau of Land Management or Forest Service permit lands where each animal is charged a monthly grazing fee. There are two types of ranching operations, a cow calf operation where the mother cows are kept year after year and the yearling calves fed thru the winter and then sold in the spring or fall. The second ranching endeavor involves purchasing those yearling heifers or preferable steer calves and running them through the summer, buying them in the
spring and selling them in the fall. This eliminates the hay operation, but is speculation on supply and demand and market price fluctuations. My ancestors were mother cow operators who raised the cattle year after year and only sold the yearling steers and some of the heifers for breeding stock as the older cows were shipped to Denver buyers. In order to have calves ranchers have to buy or raise bulls. To avoid in-breeding, bulls had to be purchased from other ranchers with different cattle bloodlines. Today, artificial insemination is used in many ranching operations to avoid having a “dry heifer” that doesn’t raise an offspring. We would usually watch for one of these heifers that would be sleek and fat without offspring for our supply of fresh beef. She may have escaped her lover, but she got the axe. We harvested our own ice from the Yampa River and had an ice shed using coal slack for insulation. We had these large blocks of ice all year long before refrigeration reached rural areas. Meat was placed in large canvas bags and placed in large root cellars in the daytime and placed outside in the
herald dispatch
cool air during the nights. A huge garden was harvested and the beans, beets, carrots, peas and corn were canned using pressure cookers on a large coal stove. We had a large cellar full of Mason jars of canned foods, including wild chokecherry syrup. I attribute my great health today to being raised on fresh whole milk and natural vegetables without insecticides being applied to any of our food. The school bells would sound in September and it was off to school, or on to college. I reminisce these days about life on the ranch, it was a wonderful experience and a vivid understanding of how all of these wonderful food products arrive at King Soopers new Fresh Fare market on Hampden Avenue and other food outlets. Support those Rocky Ford farmers and purchase some melons from those hard hit farms reeling from one bad farm crop last summer. As you drive around the state, take note of those pastures, grazing cattle, and know that hard working families are raising food for your tables. It takes a farm and a ranch to feed a community.
I can’t forget the events of WWII that led to Aug. 6, 1945 REMARKS
By Mort Marks
Aug. 6 is less than a week away and I should let that date pass by unnoticed. But – DAMN IT! I can’t. At approximately 9:15 a.m. on Aug. 6, 1945, a plane called the Enola Gay (named by its pilot Paul Tibbets on honor of his mother’s name) dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. “My God” was the only entry in the co-pilot’s diary as the day’s brilliant sunlight was slashed by an even more brilliant flash that destroyed Hiroshima.

QUOTE of the WEEK Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. –– Albert Einstein
PAGE 4 • Denver Herald-Dispatch • August 1, 2013
WWW themed ‘Spirit of the West’ Continued from Page 1 Hathaway: Moonlight golf is a little unusual. You’re golfing in the dark with glow-in-the-dark golf balls. That’s always interesting. You can’t have a golf cart because you’re driving in the dark. You hear a lot of laughing and cussing (laughs). Herald: Is there any drinking during this? Hathaway: Before, during and after (laughs). I always tell people, if you’re a very serious golfer, you may not like it. Herald: What’s the oldest component of Western Welcome Week? Hathaway: The parade is the only event that’s gone on for the full 85 years. The second oldest is the Littleton Lions Club barbecue. It’s 63 years old this year. Herald: Western Welcome Week has not been all that cordial to change, right? Hathaway: I think over the last 10 years we have been able to change. With the concert and fireworks, we have tried different music, and that didn’t go over well. But this year, we’re going to have the Littleton Ska Band. That’s going to kick off before the Denver Municipal Band, so we’ll still have the traditional. I’m sure we’ll have some raised eyebrows. But I’m excited. I’ve heard they’re very, very good. Herald: What’s your favorite Western Welcome Week story? Hathaway: I can’t tell you what year it was, but we had a guy in the parade who dressed like Abe Lincoln. He was walking in the parade and came around to where our judging stand is. The Bega group was here. They stood up and sang “God Bless America.” It was so amazing. Herald: In Australian accents, no less. Hathaway: Yes, it was one of those moments when you’re kind of like, wow! And then, we used to have a cannon that would go off to announce the parade. One year, they did it and it blew out the windows all down Main Street (laughs). Everybody was very nice about it. Herald: What’s been the biggest disaster? Hathaway: It wasn’t really a disaster, but it could have been. It was the year that it rained through the whole parade. People literally stayed
there and watched it with canopies, umbrellas and rain gear. We only had two entries cancel. It was literally like a monsoon. Herald: That’s dedication. Hathaway: I was in a golf cart going up Littleton Boulevard to the parade route from downtown and this man stopped me, and he said, “Thank you for not letting the rain stop our parade.” He said he’s been to 52 consecutive parades and he didn’t want to stop. It wasn’t really a disaster, but it was miserable. Herald: Although Western Welcome Week is proud of having “something for everyone,” are there event ideas you have had to reject? Hathaway: We had an organization numerous years ago that wanted to have a male revue. We kind of said, “No.” Herald: So, something for almost everyone. Hathaway: We also had an organization that wanted to charge $75 a ticket, and we said that’s not really what we’re about – family and affordable. Herald: In a world where so many things come and go, how has Western Welcome Week managed to last 85 years? Hathaway: Part of it is tradition. It’s something people know about and expect to happen. You have generations that come. Littleton High School plans its reunions around Western Welcome Week. Herald: It’s kind of dizzying when you look at the schedule. Is it hard for people to keep track of it all? Hathaway: I’m astounded. This year, I’ve probably taken 15 to 20 calls from people who didn’t know there was more than just the parade. I probably hit 90 to 95 percent of the events. Herald: The theme this year is “Spirit of the West.” Hathaway: People are really having fun with it. We have a gal that’s 85 years old in the first part of August. So her thing is “Western Welcome Week and I are still alive at 85.” She’s definitely the spirit of the West. She’s kind of a cowboy hat-cowboy boots kind of a girl. She’s a delight. It’s just going back to that tradition of who and what we were back in the day, and next year we’ll be something more modern.

Englewood weight-loss challengers win for losing
FROM OUR POLITICIAN_______________
Submitted by Englewood Parks and Recreation To support citizens in achieving their weight-loss goals, Englewood Parks and Recreation rolled out The Biggest Winner Challenge in January. In its first year, the Biggest Winner had 81 participants. After six months, participants lost an average of 22 pounds per person. The Biggest Winner, a 66-year-old man, lost 43 pounds. The Biggest Winner Challenge is a six-month challenge designed to provide motivation and tools to make lasting lifestyle changes to not only shed pounds, but also to increase overall health and well-being. Swedish Health One signed on to be the title sponsor. There were three challenge categories: Teens (ages 13-17), Adults (ages 18-54) and Seniors (ages 55 years and older.) At the end of six months, the person who achieved the greatest percentage of weight lost in each age category won a grand prize of an annual membership to the Englewood Recreation Center and a $100 Visa gift card donated by Swedish Health One. The program ran from Jan. 7 – June 30, 2013. The examples of how this program affected participants’ lifestyles are exemplary. Senior winner Rick Weekley aspires to get off his heart medication. At the beginning of the program, he had borderline high blood pressure. Now, his blood pressure is low. Adult winner Keith Carson, never ran before. Now, he says, “I’ve caught the bug. I run 2.5 miles and I want to run the Bolder Boulder next year.” Teen winner Gabby Hopping Merlino logged 66 visits to the Rec Center during the challenge. She loves to get up in the morning now and exercise to get her day started right. Participant Tom Kruc found a fun way to enjoy his workouts. “I come to the gym and do basketball drills. By the end, I am pouring with sweat and I had fun doing it,”
By U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette ver the past several months, there has been increasing discussion regarding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act – often referred to as “Obamacare” – which creates new ways for individuals and small businesses to shop for health plans that meet their needs and fit their budget. As these discussions continue, there is a great deal of information out there and many families, individuals and businesses are striving to understand how to make the ACA work for them. Most recently, the Obama Administration announced the employer responsibility requirement for larger businesses will begin in 2015, instead of 2014 as originally planned. This provision requires employers with 50 or more workers to offer health benefits to their employees or pay a penalty; and in fact the provision only applies to 4 percent of businesses in the nation. For Colorado, it’s important to know that this announcement does not affect the rollout of our state’s health insurance marketplace for individuals or small businesses, Connect for Health Colorado, set to open on Oct. 1. As the law approaches full implementation, it continues to disappoint me that my colleagues across the aisle, rather than helping their constituents figure out this new law, instead focus on playing partisan games. This month, House Republicans – for the 38th time in three years – continued their attempt to repeal, obstruct and undermine the ACA, jeopardizing the benefits millions of Americans are already enjoy-

Rep. Dianna DeGette ing. With the ACA as the law of the land, it is past time to set aside partisan gimmicks and work together in the interest of families and businesses across the nation. In stark contrast to those efforts to derail the ACA, the Democratic members of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, on which I am proud to serve as a Senior Member, released a study this month demonstrating how the ACA is already helping individuals and families right here in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. For example, 192,000 Coloradans – including 36,000 children and 80,000 women – now have health insurance that covers preventive services without costs. Up to 37,000 children with pre-existing health conditions can no longer be denied coverage by health insurers. Seniors are seeing incredible benefits as well, with 110,000 Medicare beneficiaries receiving preventive services at no cost. Up to 8,000 young adults
now have the option to stay on their parent’s coverage, instead of having taking the chance they won’t become ill. Lastly, a staggering 247,000 individuals in our community will no longer face lifetime limits on their coverage starting in 2014. The ACA is already offering key protections and increasing access to quality, affordable care here in Colorado and to millions of families across the nation. As we approach the rollout of our state’s exchange, Connect for Health Colorado, on Oct. 1, I look forward to working with the people of this District on how to take advantage of the benefits in the ACA and make it work for individuals, families or businesses. In September, I will be hosting a series of town halls throughout our community to discuss Connect for Health Colorado and provide important updates. I believe it is critically important that the public has all the resources they need to learn about the plans available to them and that all questions are answered. The protections and benefits of the health insurance marketplaces, considered to be the heart of the ACA, will be real and significant. We’ve already seen evidence of the cost-saving potential, as New York State announced in July that insurance premiums for individuals purchasing their own insurance coverage will be dropping by at least 50 percent in 2014. This is the relief that individuals, families and businesses need and I look forward to bringing these important protections and benefits to the people of the 1st Congressional district and beyond.

Screen time: Raising kids in the digital age Author to speak at Smoky Hill Library
Y
ou’ve heard the advice, “No screen time before the age of 2.” However, if you’re like many parents and caregivers, the reality of parenting and the multiplying number of screens in our lives makes this mandate a bit daunting. What’s the real impact of
screen time on young children? That’s what author Lisa Guernsey wanted to know. Armed with her science-journalism background, she decided to do her own research. What she found is surprising. Parents and caregivers are invited for an encouraging conversation about the real impact of screen time on young children with Guernsey on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 6-8 p.m. at Smoky Hill
Library, 5430 S. Biscay Circle in Centennial. Appetizers will be served from 6-6:30 p.m. Guernsey maintains that parents and caregivers should focus on “the three Cs: content, context and the individual child.” Her book, Screen Time: How Electronic Media – From Baby Videos to Educational Software – Affects Your Young Child, will be available for purchase. This program is sponsored
by the Friends of the Arapahoe Library District. For more information about the Friends, visit www.arapahoelibraries. org. This program is free and open to the public, however, reservations are required. To register online, visit www.arapahoe libraries.org and click on Programs & Classes. To register by phone, call 303-LIBRARY (303542-7279).
