Celebrate Colorado’s birthday with free admission at history museums statewide Includes free celebration on August 1-2 at the History Colorado Center In honor of Colorado’s 138th birthday, History Colorado museums will be FREE to the public Aug. 1 – 2 offering visitors two days of free fun to celebrate Colorado’s wild, colorful, historical, traditional and modern culture. The two-day Colorado Day celebration at the History Colorado Center will include food, music, dance and hands-on activities as well as a chance to recognize how Colorado’s past has shaped who we are as a state and people today. “No other organization can help Coloradans understand the present in the context of the past, the way we can,” said Kathryn Hill, History Colorado COO. “We celebrate Colorado’s places, stories and cultures of Colorado everyday, and this is evident the minute you enter
our museums. On Colorado Day, we offer even more for visitors of all ages to spark imaginations and stimulate conversations about our state’s issues and future.” Beginning at 8 a.m. on Aug. 1, History Colorado and its partners, the Department of Agriculture, the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs and Visitor Services will meet on the west steps of the Capitol to honor the occasion. The Capitol will be decorated for the event, and will feature square dancing, Colorado candy and birthday cake, living history preservation and other special programs, followed by a procession from the Capitol to History Colorado. Colorado Proud will hold a press
conference at the History Colorado Center immediately afterward to recognize August 1 as Colorado Day and to launch the Colorado Proud Choose Colorado Tour– a month-long, statewide road trip to celebrate food and agricultural products that are grown in Colorado. The Choose C o l o rado Tour, scheduled from Aug. 1–27, integrates 10 agricultural communities, celebrates farmers who help our state thrive, and educate and influence consumers along the journey. History Colorado Center festivities include an indoor/outdoor farmers market featuring local farms and Colorado Proud products, getting dirty with adobe brick making, craft and food
demonstrations, and live performances all day long. These festivities are presented in partnership with the Colorado Tourism Office and AngloGold Ashanti North America Inc. In addition, the much renowned traveling exhibit Food: Our Global Kitchen will be open throughout August—the last chance Coloradans will have to see, touch, and taste this exhibit before it travels cross country.
Statewide Celebrations
Not in Denver on Aug. 1 and 2? Make sure to visit one of History Colorado’s regional properties for free museum admission. *The Healy House Museum & Dexter Cabin will be free on Aug. 1 only and the Georgetown Loop & Railroad will be operating under their usual ticketing prices. For a complete list of our regional properties, their hours, and locations visit www.HistoryColorado.org/ museums.

sure those personal healthcare decision stay where they belong -- in the hands of the women whose lives are affected.” “With this bill, Congress can begin to fix the damage done by the Supreme Court’s decision to allow for-profit corporations to deny their employees birth control coverage. The Supreme Court last week opened the door to a wide range of discrimination and denial of services. This bill would help close the door for denying contraception before more corporations can walk through it,” said Cecile Richards, president, Planned Parenthood Action Fund. “As the nation’s leading advocate for women’s reproductive health care, Planned Parenthood Action Fund is committed to making sure women can get the no-copay birth control benefit that we and others fought so hard to pass and protect. No woman should lose access to birth control because her boss doesn›t approve of it.” The contraceptive coverage provision of the ACA has been a success in increasing access to this critical health service for women. As of 2013, 27 million women were covered by this new requirement. Twenty-four million more prescriptions for oral contraceptives were filled with no copayment in 2013 than in 2012, and women have saved $483 million in out of-pocket costs for oral contraceptives. Ninety-nine percent of sexuallyactive women use birth control at least once in their lifetimes, and the Centers for Disease Control declared it one of the Ten Great Public Health Achievements of the 20th Century. While the most common reason women use contraception is to prevent pregnancy, 58 percent of oral contraceptive users cite noncontraceptive health benefits as reasons for using the pill. Fourteen percent of birth control pill users, more than 1,500,000 women, rely on the birth control pills for only non-contraceptive purposes.

New display boards installed at the Dillon Reservoir Overlook on I-70 in Summit County and at the Georgetown Visitors Center in Clear Creek County will help residents and visitors understand the history of the area and the development of the Eisenhower/ Johnson Memorial Tunnels on I-70. The displays, which measure 70” wide by 48” high, were developed by the Colorado Department of Transportation and the Colorado Historical Society with the help of consultant firms Morgan Angel, Inc. and Junda Designs, both of Denver. “The Eisenhower and Johnson Tunnels are among the most important transportation developments in the history of Colorado,” said CDOT Executive Director Don Hunt. “These displays will help residents and visitors alike understand the historical context of the tunnels and how they have facilitated travel not only between Colorado’s east and west slopes, but between the Midwest and the West, as well.” The history of the area, as chronicled on the new boards, dates from first attempts to develop a railroad tunnel beneath
the Continental Divide in the late 1800s to first dreams of highway tunnels in the 1920s and 1930s. Planning was complicated and delayed by the Great Depression, by World War II, and by funding questions until the project finally got underway at the Straight Creek bore, today’s Eisenhower (westbound) Tunnel, in 1968. The Eisenhower Tunnel was opened to two-way traffic in March 1973. Vehicular traffic so greatly exceeded projections that Colorado Department of Highways officials almost immediately began planning the second bore, today’s Edwin C. Johnson Memorial Tunnel (eastbound), which opened in 1979. Combined, the two projects covered nine years of construction and cost $262 million. More than 28,000 vehicles pass through the tunnels each day on average. The largest monthly totals exceed 1.2 million vehicles; March, at the height of the ski season, and July, at the height of the summer visitor season, tend to be the heaviest travel months. “I’m most proud of the fact we’ve had 41 years of operation here without a fatal accident,” said Mike Salamon, Tunnels Maintenance Section Superintendent for CDOT.
Salamon, who will retire at the end of June, has worked his entire 37-year CDOH and CDOT career at the tunnels. “We have operated continuously since our opening in 1973, and through the years we’ve had some very unusual incidents here,” he said. “The safety record is a testament to the training and response to emergencies by our employees.” Today’s tunnels operation consists of approximately 50 CDOT employees who work in shifts around the clock every day all year long. Their specialty areas include tunnels maintenance and operation, electrical operations, mechanical and wastewater operations, and emergency response capabilities. Out of sight of motorists who drive through the tunnels is a complex consisting of a control room, 28 huge ventilation fans each capable of moving one-half million cubic feet of air per minute, and an array of response vehicles and equipment designed to handle nearly any emergency situation which might arise. Residents and visitors are encouraged to visit the display boards at any time to learn much more about the history of the Eisenhower/Johnson Tunnels.

Peak to Creek Duck Race, July 26 By Linda Jones he 11th annual Peak to Creek Duck Race will float by on North Clear Creek at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. The race is produced by the Peak to Peak Rotary club, and they will staff the Duck Race Headquarters on the corner of Main and Richman streets, alongside the Mardi Gras Casino, beginning at noon. Everyone who “adopts” a duck for a $5 donation is entered to win the $1,000 Grand Prize. Each adopted duck has a number on its bottom and the ducks that finish fastest win prizes for their “adopters.” In addition to the $1,000, other prizes include hotel rooms and meals at casinos, opera tickets and more. All those small adopted ducks are entered in the Citizens Race. The Sponsors’ Race pits 8-inch tall ducks representing the 11 sponsors against each other for the first place traveling trophy, which the winning sponsor wins the right to display for the next 12 months. The biggest competition among the sponsors, however, is for the Best Dressed Fleet traveling trophy. Voting for this coveted trophy takes place at Race Headquarters on Race Day. Stop by and choose your favorite fleet. All the money earned by the Peak to Peak Rotary club from this event is funneled into the youth of the Peak to Peak area through scholarships, week-long leadership camps at the YMCA of the Rockies, the Gilpin High School Interact Club and other youth projects.

Q: Admiral, do you think the high level of water in North Clear Creek this year will affect the Peak to Creek Duck Race? A: Oh, definitely. Those young ducks will have a real challenge trying to float around the eddies. I’ve been coaching some of the youngsters, particularly No. 382, and some of his friends, on the fine points of missing the whirlpools and the brush on the banks. And I expect to see some Rotarians fall into the water at the finish net. Q: Do you think this year’s winning time will be a record-breaker? A: I think we’ll see the speediest duck race ever in North Clear Creek. Q: Do you have any advice for the race watchers this year? A: I’d advise them to adopt their ducks early and set up on the riverwalk alongside the Mardi Gras in plenty of time to enjoy the

YMCA of Metro Denver offers water-safety tips
With the official start of summer, pools across metro-Denver are having a busy summer swim season. The YMCA of Metropolitan Denver is stressing the importance of water safety. “Unfortunately, every year we see young children drown due to lack of adult supervision at the pool,” said Kimberly Armitage, executive director of the YMCA’s Aquatics Program. “The YMCA is hoping to educate Denver residents about the importance of learning water safety skills.” A recent USA Today article sites many swimmers come up short in water-safety skills. Acoording to the article, “a CDC report released last month showed that about 21,000 children and young adults drowned from 1999 through 2010, and that drowning is responsible for more deaths among children aged 1-4 years than any other cause except birth defects. “For people aged 29 and younger, drowning is one of the top three causes of unintentional injury death. A 2010 study commissioned by the USA Swimming Foundation and conducted by the University of Memphis found that nearly 70 percent of black children and nearly 60 percnet of Hispanic children have low or no swimming ability, compared with 40 percent of white children.” The YMCA of Metropolitan
Denver recommends children and adults practice the following safety tips when in and around the water: Only swim when and where there is a lifeguard on duty; never swim alone. Adults should constantly and actively watch their children. Inexperienced or non-swimmers should wear a Coast Guardapproved life jacket. Parents or guardians of young children should be within an arm’s reach. Children and adults should not engage in breath holding activities. In addition to learning lifesaving water safety skills, children can increase their physical activity by swimming. Only 19 percent of U.S. children get 60 minutes of physical activity a day, according to the latest findings of the YMCA’s Family Health Snapshot – a survey that gauges children’s activity levels during the school year. Swimming also motivates children to strive for self-improvement, teaches goal orientation, and cultivates a positive mental attitude and high self-esteem. It also teaches life lessons of sport and sportsmanship, so that children can learn how to work well with teammates and coaches and how to deal with winning and losing.

Keep your animals safe this summer with these tips.
Safety tips to keep pets safe this summer Submitted by DDFL We Coloradans love sharing our favorite summer activities with our pets—whether that means spending time outdoors, traveling or simply relaxing at home. With the dog days approaching, here are a few tips and reminders to make sure our pets are as happy and relaxed all summer as we plan to be.
We’re gonna need to see some ID
Make sure your pets (cats included) are wearing collars and ID tags with your contact information. If you haven’t updated their microchip registration in a while, now’s a good time to make sure their info is current. Warmer weather means more open doors and windows, and escapes can happen to even the most responsible pet owners.
Overheating
We all love to have our dogs with us when the sun is shining, but this time of year you should never, ever leave your co-pilot in the car. Not even in the shade. Not even if the windows are down. Not even for five minutes. Cars heat up fast, and heatstroke can be fatal to your pet.
Street smarts
When the temperature is very high, don’t let your dog linger on
hot asphalt. Sensitive paw pads can burn easily. It’s also best to walk your dog in the early morning or evening instead of the middle of the day when it’s hottest. This is especially important for dogs with short snouts, such as bulldogs, that can’t pant as efficiently in humid weather due to their narrowed nostrils and windpipes.
Party animal
Summer is a great time for hosting parties and cookouts with friends and family. Be sure and keep BBQ supplies like charcoal, matches and lighter fluid out of reach of pets at the party. Discourage guests from feeding Fido people food that can cause stomachaches or worse, and keep some dog treats on hand as an alternative.
Travel bug
Do your homework before setting out on a summer trip—confirm lodging that accepts pets, and research dog-friendly parks and destinations. (BringFido.com is a great resource.) If you’re planning to fly with your pet, check your airline’s policies well in advance, and talk with your veterinarian about any specific health requirement s or vaccinations.
Swim safely
Before taking your sidekick on
the water, make sure she can swim (not all dogs can). If you’re swimming for the first time with your dog, start in shallow water and work your way up. Never throw your dog into the water. You can also purchase a lifejacket for your dog at most pet supply stores.
Bee alert
Many pets love to chase bees and other bugs—until they catch one. Watch for symptoms of an allergic reaction, and contact your veterinarian immediately if you notice any facial swelling, vomiting, difficulty breathing or collapse. Mild clinical signs can progress if untreated.
Know their limits
Take care when hiking or running with your dog, especially on hot days. Exercise produces heat, and when a dog can’t eliminate that heat efficiently, their internal body temperature rises rapidly. They don’t always know when to stop, and the time between having fun and heatstroke can be very short.
Water, water everywhere
Seems like a no brainer, but make sure your pet stays hydrated by keeping plenty of water available at all times. For more information, visit www.ddfl.org.
Colorado Department of Transportation to hold online hiring event Virtual job fair offers statewide job opportunities with CDOT
The Colorado Department of Transportation and the Department of Labor and Employment are teaming up to host a “virtual” job fair during the month of August. This month-long, aroundthe-clock event will be used to fill CDOT job openings across Colorado and will utilize the Department of Labor and Employment’s virtual job fair platform. Running from Aug. 1 – 31, job seekers need to simply log in or register at www.connectingcolorado.com to gain entry. Once inside the virtual event, they can
peruse a wide variety of career opportunities being offered, visit regional chat rooms to get questions answered and learn about the Department of Transportation. Participants will also be able to attend workshops to help them write a strong résumé and build their job seeking and interviewing skills. “We’re excited to be able to provide a great employer like CDOT with this virtual job fair,” said Department of Labor and Employment Executive Director Ellen Golombek. “They offer vital and interesting work, excellent benefits, competitive salaries and career growth opportunities.” And because the job opportunities cover a wide geographic re-
gion, an online or “virtual” hiring event is the best way to go, she said. “Job seekers can visit this virtual fair from any location with a web connection and at anytime,” Golombek said. The Department of Labor and Employment and its network of Workforce Centers offer a range of services to job seekers and Colorado employers, all at no charge. For job seekers interested in learning more about this virtual job fair or for employers interested in having a similar event staged to meet their staffing needs, contact your nearest Workforce Center. A full listing is available at www.colorado. gov/cdle/wfc.

Dog Days: Summer Rains Are Most Welcome KINDLING
By Robert Sweeney
W
hen I was a youngster I spent my summers working in the hay fields of far northwest Colorado. My cousin Jason came to help us hay and we loved to hunt, fish and swim. Whenever it rained we couldn’t cut and stack hay so we were able to skip away from chores and go play — we especially loved swimming. This summer, with all the rain,
we would certainly turn into fish and the cattle wouldn’t have any hay to eat during the long cold winter. Glad that I turned in the pitchfork, hay rake, and mowing machine for a typewriter and now a smartphone and Apple computer. Still like to swim. *** Went out to the old Phipps’ Mansion, now called the Highlands Ranch Mansion, in Douglas County last week. Last owned by the historic Phipps family, the Mansion is fabulous and only about three miles off E-470 and Broadway. The castle-like structure has been completely restored and has beautiful manicured grounds with elaborate flowers and shrubs. What a great place to have a wedding or non-profit event. The address is 9950 E. Gateway Dr. and phone is 303-791-0177. I was there at the invitation of Chrysler to see the “new face” of its exciting 2015 models, and in
particular, the new Chrysler 200 series. We were able to drive three new models with new engines, all-wheel drive, fuel economy up to 36 mpg, and the latest in engineering technology that includes nine-speed transmissions. These were very nice cars and we would recommend that car buyers dash over and see Dealin’ Doug at one of his local dealerships soon. Doug Moreland, by the way, is a fabulous supporter of Cancer League of Colorado and the Hope Ball, donating a Jeep Wagoner and/or Chrysler product year after year. Fiat has completed the purchase of Chrysler and is manufacturing these vehicles in Detroit and making huge strides in improving the products. Jeep, of course, is leading most brands in recognition and sales. *** Long time friend and Colorado historian Bob Pulcipher has
advised me of the Wild West History Association Denver Roundup July 22-23 at the Denver Marriott West Hotel in Golden 1717 Denver West Blvd. At least 250 western history buffs will discuss Colorado lore and legend that includes a bus tour to Leadville where my mother’s ancestors were silver miners living in “Stringtown.” An opening event at Buffalo Bill Museum starts on Wednesday evening. Registration and full event information at wildwesthistory.org Just a fabulous agenda of programs and speakers on … ”Places that made the American West wild in the last half of the nineteenth century … .” Our own Dr. Colorado Tom Noel will be one of the notable presenters during the four- day roundup. *** Colorado is still making Wild West history…
Outstanding quotes from outstanding people worth remembering
REMARKS

In today’s world of international problems — from the murder in Benghazi of Ambassador Stevens to today’s Middle East fighting, to our national problems concerning the IRS, WA, Obamacare and President Obama’s dictatorial decisions — it is time to remember that many, many problems were faced by citizens in previous years. Their leaders’ advice helped smooth the way for them, and could help us today. Could all of today’s problems have been correctly predicted as far back as 400 B.C., by a Chinese

VILLAGER VOICES
GLORYUS GOINGS ON
GREENER PASTURES
Harry Truman once said, “If you want a real friend that you can trust in Washington — go buy a dog!” Franklin D. Roosevelt’s statement in 1934 could well apply to today’s government handouts. He said, “The Federal Government must and shall quit this business of Relief. Continued dependence upon Relief induces spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to National fiber. To dole out relief in this way is to administer a narcotic, a subtle destroyer of the human spirit.” Kenneth James,words CFA on John F. W. Kennedy’s a “tax cut” should be listened to today. “Our true choice is not between tax reduction on the one hand and the avoidance of large Fed Deficits on the other. Our economy stifled by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough revenue to balance the budget. Just as it will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.” The following by Ronald Reagan is a good way to end: “Liberty has never come from government. The history of liberty is the history of limitation of government power not the increase of it.”

YMCA of the Rockies World Council convenes in Denver Submitted by Rachel Weiss, YMCA of the Rockies Delegates from more than 20 countries explored the Denver Capitol on July 1 as part of the YMCA World Council excursion program. While inside the Capitol, the international delegates met with YMCA Youth in Government members and learned about what the program does. The YMCA Youth in Government was established in 1936 and allows high school students to serve in model governments at local, state and national levels. For three months every year, the students learn about the state’s democratic system and explore the roles of a politician, lobbyist, attorney and journalist. Kimberly Armitage, executive director of the Aurora Branch YMCA and Youth in Government representative, explained to the delegates how beneficial the program is to the students involved. “Not only is the program designed to help students learn about government,” Kimberly said. “It’s also about giving the students opportunity to express their points of views and be heard.” After the Youth in Govern-

ment program, the delegates toured the Capitol building to visit the House and Senate galleries and learn more about the United States’ and the state of Colorado’s lawmaking processes and history. Hugo Fernandes, a Change Agent for the YMCA from Setubal, Portugal, said the tour and information was beneficial to help-
ing him understand the United States culture. “Seeing the Capitol was exciting,” Fernandes said. “It was a great opportunity to learn more about important buildings here and historic issues and overall a really good day. It’s a new experience being here for the World Council. Being here is a good op-
portunity to learn more about the United States’ YMCAs and their programs.” After the Capitol tour, the delegates joined another group of YMCA members at Manuel High School for dinner. When asked what his favorite part of the day was, 19-year-old YMCA volunteer Otto Vainio

from Tampere, Finland, said he liked dinner the best. “No really, dinner was my favorite part,” Otto said. “The food was good, but it was also great because it was so interactive. There were so many people and cultures and countries and YMCA branches coming together and discussing things around the same table. It was a really neat experience.” Filip Hove, a YMCA delegate from Vium, Denmark, agreed that seeing the Capitol was interesting, but the people are what make it an incredible experience. “The best part about being in Denver today is not even the speaker; it’s sitting down and talking to people about what they’re doing,” Filip said. “I always tell the Danish group here that we can’t stick together. It’s fun to split up and meet new people.” The delegates spent the rest of the week participating in small group sessions, leadership training and brainstorming for future YMCA programs. “World Council was definitely been a great experience,” Otto said. “We’ve had a lot of fun, but there’s also been serious work done. I’m one of the youngest delegates here and it’s been a great learning experience meeting other people. World Council has shown that youth empowerment can be anything. We’re diverse and can use different tools across the globe to accomplish the same goal. “One of the most exciting parts of all of this is seeing the beautiful surroundings. It sets the framework for good discussions. You just wouldn’t get the same experience somewhere else. It’s inspiring to be working for change with people from around the world.”
2014 Touareg Hybrid – the VW with the strangest name ever… By Don Bain Some of you know what a Monroney is – the document (required by law) that a dealer gives you when you buy a car. It specifies exactly what specs, features, costs, options and costs are, plus the EPA ratings for emissions and fuel economy. When you get a review car, normally this document is provided so you know exactly what you are talking about in the review, but every once in a while, the Monroney and the car don’t match. That is the case we are dealing with this week as we have a Monroney for a 2014 VW Touareg TDI (a diesel model) when what we drove was a Hybrid model that the delivery driver told us was just filled with premium fuel. Diesel and premium unleaded are two very different combustibles. The point is we have to review this vehicle while ignoring the specs we normally have to refer to in making sure we are not misrepresenting the vehicle in any way. So first, let’s talk about the name – you’ve probably seen the commercials explaining how the VW Tiguan is supposedly a combination of Tiger and Iguana – whether or not that
is actually the case, it sounds good. So where does Touareg come from? Here we have to look to text shorthand as very few words we can think of have three vowels in a row – and least in Romantic languages, that is those evolving from Latin. Our best guess was that it’s text slang for To You a Regular (as in daily drive) vehicle, or perhaps some would define it as To You a Regal vehicle – the VW SUV has some verification for either point of view. As a daily commuter, the Touareg is very frugal in its use of petrol and very comfortable for the driver and whatever passengers are along for the rideshare. The continuing advances in hybrid technology are frankly amazing, and this example of an off-roadcapable VW is on the cutting edge. A true Crossover, the 380 horsepower gas and electric combo has an eminently posh interior with lightly bolstered heated front seats couched in an elegant black and walnut trimmed interior. During more than 300 miles of mostly city driving consumed merely half a tank of the pricey premium fuel in this big, versatile vehicle. No-

tably, there is only seating for five, but it is very generously spacious seating for all. The panoramic glass roof (similar to the Tiguan) is shaded by a fine, beige mesh cover that allows light to come in without much heat. When conditions permit, the panoramic sky view top will keep any dedicated stargazers in the family mesmerized. The central information display (between the gauges) displays a plethora of information on navigation, audio or telephone data at a glance. Each of these headings has six to eight settings each, except for phone data. An unusual aspect of this vehicle, a possible of the future for all
vehicles, is the fact that, at start-up and especially during backing out of a parking space, the audio output is completely muted, demanding your attention to the subject at hand. This continues until the vehicle is proceeding in a steady fashion. Also worth note is the fact VW provides their own cords to connect phones, MP3 player and other devices with the kind of magnetic clips iPads now use for charging. The 2014 VW Touareg Hybrid has a drive setting for off-road use that we had no chance to test. It does have a setup setting that displays compass setting and altitude level for such off the pavement outings. The 2014 Touareg Hybrid is pric-

ey at a starting price of $64,745, but with the current unrest in the Middle East, it could well pay back its price with 20- to 24-mpg over a period of time. That price and mileage is for a fully capable, year round reliable, five-passenger SUV. We should mention the onboard computer reported 16.8-mpg across an 8,000-mile lifespan for the vehicle. Pricey as it was, the 2014 VW Touareg Hybrid is a very safe way to get around, with an added touch of royalty to its overall demeanor. So is it a regular or a regal vehicle – we think it’s a little of both, but are full in favor of hybrid vehicles and this is a great example.

Fifty thousand shades of spay – and neuter Last month, the Dumb Friends League celebrated a major milestone by officially performing the 50,000th surgery on its mobile spay and neuter clinics—preventing tens of thousands of unwanted litters in our community. The Dumb Friends League has been hitting the road with its mobile spay/neuter clinic, the Meow Mobile, since 2005, and added a second clinic, the Lulu Mobile, two years later. Offering spay/neuter services at reduced fees subsidized by Dumb Friends League donors, the clinics can be found in targeted areas throughout metro Denver six days a week. Cat spay/neuter surgeries are free through the mobile clinics, and dog surgeries are $50 for income-qualifying patrons. “We’re so grateful to all of our partners in the community who host our clinics at their businesses, as well as our donors and the many volunteer veterinarians who have devoted their time and
talent to helping the pets and people in our community,” said Tracy Koss, outreach manager for the Dumb Friends League. “Without all of them, this program would not exist.” In addition to providing services throughout metro Denver, the Meow Mobile and Lulu Mobile travel to rural areas of Colorado to reach communities where spay/neuter resources are either limited or nonexistent. The League also does grassroots outreach to underserved communities in the metro area to educate people on the benefits of spaying/ neutering their pets and the resources available. Since 2007, the number of homeless animals entering Dumb Friends League shelters has decreased by 24.4 percent—a lifesaving statistic that the League believes is due, in part, to comprehensive spay/neuter outreach programs to reduce pet overpopulation. Yet there’s still much work

to be done. “We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far and the lives we’ve saved, but pet overpopulation is still a very big issue, particularly for cats,” said Koss. “It will take all of us as a community working together to address the problem at a higher level and re-
duce the number of homeless pets coming into shelters.” Moving forward, the Dumb Friends League’s goal is to perform 10,000 spay/neuter surgeries on its mobile clinics in the next year and continue to work collaboratively with fellow shelters, the veterinary community
and animal welfare organizations to serve as a resource for pet owners. To learn more about the Dumb Friends League’s mobile spay/ neuter clinics and view a schedule of dates and locations, visit ddfl. org/services.
South metro leaders join call for immigration reform Polling shows most Coloradans support ‘legal status’
By Peter Jones The South Metro Denver Chamber and District Attorney George Brauchler were among those who participated in last week’s Day of Action for Immigration Reform, a national call for long-awaited congressional movement on the contentious issue of fixing the nation’s immigration system. The press conference came one day before Republican leadership in the U.S. House of Representatives killed a bill co-sponsored by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., for comprehensive reform. On July 9, pro-business advocates, including the Colorado Farm Bureau and the Colorado Business Roundtable, hyped new poll results that show the state’s voters would largely support some sort of lawful status for illegal immigrants. Among likely voters, 32 percent surveyed by a Republican pollster said they favored granting such immigrants legal status without citizenship, while 34 percent supported legal status with eligibility for citizenship. Jeff Wasden, president of the Colorado Business Roundtable, said citizens – and especially businesses – across the political spectrum are finally on the same page. “While politicians may be in a stalemate, business leaders are more convinced now than ever that something needs to be done,” Wasden told reporters at the South Metro Chamber’s office in Centennial. “The importance of fixing this problem is real. Immigration reform is an economic imperative.” A minority, 29 percent of the poll’s respondents, favored total deportation. The polling was released just as President Obama requested $3.7 million of emergency funding to handle an influx of Central American children to the U.S. border. The message of new consensus on the issue is being driven nationally by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Partnership for a New American Economy and the American Farm Bureau Federation, among others. The coalition launched last week’s call for congressional movement with a press conference in Washington, D.C. Similar events were held in more than 40 congres-

sional districts across 20 states. At the event in Centennial, Wasden praised U.S. Rep Mike Coffman’s bill that would allow children of illegal immigrants to earn citizenship through military service, as an example of the kind of legislation needed at all levels of the problem. Coffman had opposed the more
comprehensive House bill killed last week. Robert Golden, president of the South Metro Chamber, emphasized the importance of immigrant-run businesses and the need to connect the dots when it comes to U.S. visas and the need for workers. “Forty percent of the Fortune 500 companies that exist today were
started either by an immigrant or a child of an immigrant,” he said. “… However, only 7 percent of the visas that are issued in the state are workrelated. In other countries, it’s more in the area of 50 percent.” As many Republicans join the call for comprehensive reform, Wasden was quick to distinguish the burgeoning coalition’s brand of reform from that associated with such hot-button terms as “amnesty” and “pathway to citizenship,” insisting his group’s ideas are more about pragmatism than official nationality. “I don’t believe the illegal immigrants who are here are asking or crying for citizenship,” the businessman said. “… They would like to have the opportunity to function, to work, to be a part of their family without the fear of being deported or separated from their family.” Wasden said congressional priorities should include enforcing the existing laws, securing the nation’s borders, expanding e-verification for workers and reforming the “broken” system for visiting workers. That last part is key, according to Nicholas Colglazier, director of public policy for the Colorado Farm
Bureau, who said current policies have been disastrous for the state’s farmers, leading to lost crops and an inability for Colorado to compete with imported goods produced less expensively. “The bottom line is we are challenged to find qualified workers – or any workers for that matter – who are willing to work seasonally on our farms,” Colglazier said. District Attorney Brauchler said the matters are not helped when such potential workers are reluctant to even report violent crimes against them. “[Criminals] know that these people are not going to access the criminal-justice system out of fear that they are going to be deported,” the elected Republican said. “… We can’t have that. It creates a twotiered system. … [We need to] come up with a system that is predictable, that is manageable, and one that permits people to come forward with some degree of security.” Harper Polling of Pennsylvania conducted its poll of 582 likely voters in Colorado last month. The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percent.

of color, the Foundation leadership has made a pledge to identify and acknowledge their philanthropic contributions (time, talent, treasure, and testimony) and to deepen, leverage, and grow philanthropy among individuals and groups within communities of color. The $300,000 award from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, which will be utilized over the period of two years, will aid in a more robust implementation and evaluation of those efforts. The Denver Foundation has core commitments to develop philanthropy, engage residents, and advance racial, ethnic and economic
equity. This has been demonstrated over the years through the Foundation’s extensive work in supporting resident engagement and resident leadership through its Strengthening Neighborhoods Program, and in providing resources to help nonprofit organizations become more racially inclusiveness through its Inclusiveness Project – efforts which have both garnered national recognition. “The values of generosity and giving are deeply embedded in communities of color,” said David Miller, president and CEO of the Foundation. “We simply aim to connect existing and emerging donors
to philanthropic vehicles such as giving circles, scholarship funds, donor-advised funds, and business funds to support issues they care about most.” Through the dedication of staff and partnership with the Community Investment Network (another WKKF grantee), The Denver Foundation became the host to two giving circles comprised of people of color.

Starting a journey and finding a passion By Anna Lee Ames-Frohlich found my passion for history and sharing what I learn with others rather late in life, and it has been an amazing journey for me. First there was a short-lived teaching career followed by what is not so common anymore, a career as a stay at home mom. That led in a round about way to three years as a guest on Blinky the clown’s TV show teaching kids to make nutritious snacks while dressed like a vintage Holly Hobbie doll. The trend in healthy snacks at that time was to serve very little sugar. It was a challenge to come up with vaguely enticing snacks every week that were low in sugar. The most popular one I served was finger Jello. I had brought it to the show several times and had had an enthusiastic response. Then one fateful day, as I went to serve it on the air, the fruit juice had separated leaving the gelatin in a hard, glutinous, leathery layer. From times like this I learned a lot about how to ad lib! When I decided to “retire” from the show, Blinky replaced me with a person in a gorilla suit. He could put anyone in that suit making him less reliant on any one person. It was time to move on. I had had a passion for acting since I went to a camp for the arts in Steamboat Springs while I was 9 and 10. I played Ariel in The Tempest and could flit all over the stage, which was a large multi-tiered patio. I remember clearly the emotional tears that welled up in me when the play finished successfully. A while after my stint on Blinky’s show, I started taking acting classes and doing some local TV commercials. I had always found both joy and fear in acting. Now years of the fear of speaking to audiences was beginning

to dissolve.-The TV work was rewarding but was interrupted by my parents’ needs. This took up a lot of my time for about 16 years: finances, legal arrangements, running business matters, traveling, holding hands, and saying final goodbyes. What little time I had left over in those years I was studying western culture in the 1800’s and learning things like how to shoot a black powder rifle. About that time I had the good fortune to meet Sam Arnold, proprietor of the Fort Restaurant, a man of many talents
and interests. I really only knew him for the last two years of his life. What I gained from knowing him was invaluable. I used to sit at his feet, and we would read to each other and tell stories from our lives. I have a rather colorful, as well as controversial, family, the members of which can be found in the annals of history. Sam insisted that I needed to tell those stories to others. I started looking through my mother’s records. Bless her heart, she had done the genealogical work the hard way, before com-
puters and Ancestry.com, in the world of the Rolodex and letter writing. I was the inheritor of all her extensive work and was delighted that I didn’t have to do that work myself. I delved into it to find the stories. In 2008 I started traveling to meet all my recently found second cousins once-removed and to learn about their branches of the family. I also sought others who were the modern day keepers of places and stories. Now that I am drawing on this wealth of information, I am astounded by what I was able to acquire in

a relatively short period of time, especially because I had no formal training in doing research. I had joined the Denver Posse of Westerners where I was meeting people with not just an interest in western history, but an amazing knowledge of it as well. It was Dr. Tom Noel, affectionately known hereabouts as “Dr. Colorado,” who, knowing my connection to the Ames brothers of Union Pacific fame, suggested to me that I do a presentation about the Ames Monument in Wyoming. That started me on a path that I am still following, and to a climax to that is in sight. The story of the Ames Monument is filled with political scandal, the story of the great transcontinental railroad (the Union Pacific), talented artisans, tangled relationships, trains, rails and equipment improving, many brilliant and driven men. It is because of my early acting experience and my love of these family stories (the president of the UP during building and the chief financier of the UP were ancestors of mine) that I have ended up as a speaker on historical subjects, I love doing this. Until a few years ago, it was completely unexpected, and it has expanded into my writing a history column for the Colorado Gambler newspaper. Most important to me have been the people I am meeting on this journey, their passionate interests, and their enthusiasm and desire to help others to find what they are seeking. Next I would like to write about some of these committed people.

Polo, Colorado Style By Cathleen Norman n the high country amidst lush meadows the polo season begins. Mid May into September whirls with practices, meets, matches tournaments − and parties. The brisk swoosh and plummeting swoop then, crack of mallet on ball. Poetry in motion, especially against the greenery of a late, wet Rocky Mountain spring.... Traditions abound... Polo’s ancient origins date to Persia in the sixth century B.C. The sport was introduced to England from India where military officers had played local teams. The British are credited with spreading polo worldwide in the late 19th century and the early 20th century. The first U.S. polo match was played in 1876 in New York City. The horse-y sport swiftly spread west where other forms of equestrian entertainment, like rodeos and Wild West shows, were taking hold. The U.S. Polo Association organized in 1890. The first polo match in the Pikes Peak region was played in the 1890s at Cheyenne Mountain Country Club at the city’s south edge, which was also one of the earliest polo clubs in the West. A handful of people can be credited for bringing the Sport of Kings to Colorado. Brothers Walter and Horace Devereux profited mightily in silver mining near Glenwood Springs, then turned their hand to hospitality where their passion for polo ensured that their grand Hotel Colorado included adjacent polo fields. Mining capitalist Spencer Penrose likewise installed polo fields near his world famous Broadmoor Hotel, added barns and raised a few ponies. Lawrence C. Phipps molded the Denver Polo Club by helping acquire 160 acres near the Denver Country Club as polo fields and site of an inviting clubhouse. Three sites stand out in the Colorado polo story – Denver, Colorado Springs and Glenwood Springs. Denver Country Club, founded in 1887 and one the oldest private clubs in the country, was centered first around horse racing, then expanded into polo, golf and tennis. Pampered sons of Denver’s founding class grew up at the adjunct Denver Polo Club and became stellar polo athletes. When polo declined in the 1940s, the Denver Polo Club playing fields were developed into spacious dwellings as the Polo Club district. Colorado Springs and the Broadmoor blossomed into a premier polo center, cultivated by millionaire hotelier Spencer Penrose, whose affection for the sport stemmed from his Philadelphia roots. Passion for equestrian pursuits was heightened by the wealthy British and affluent Easterners who flocked to Colorado Springs and brought their taste for equestrian past times such as trail rides, jumping and fox hunting. The city’s founder Gen. William Jackson Palmer was also a horseman, and honored by a downtown bronze statue of him astride his steed. An early Colorado Springs polo eventwasatournamentduringthe1906 Zebulon Pike Centennial Celebration. Four teams participated - Cheyenne Mountain Country Club, Denver Country Club, Sheridan (Wyoming) Polo Ranch, and United States 10th Cavalry. The sport was spurred further in 1912 when the Army Polo Association became part of USPA. By 1914, there were 17 Army stations playing sanctioned polo, many in the West.

In Glenwood Springs, polo was vigorously spearheaded by the Devereux family, silver tycoons who rode and played passionately. Their grand and gracious Hotel Colorado hosted the first polo tournament in in 1893 – the Devereux Cup during the hotel’s opening celebration. Walter Devereux and his partner, Hervey Lyle, championship polo players, brought the sport to the Grand Valley. They formed the Glenwood Polo and
Racing Association and built hotel polo field. The Glenwood team won the world polo championships in 1903, 1904 and 1912. The galloping game has changed little over the centuries. Opposing teams of four riders on horseback move the ball down field with their long-necked mallets toward the opponent’s goal. Two referees on horseback patrol the field, while a third observes from the ground. Less rough

than rodeo, the gentlemanly sport even specifies “no dangerous riding” in its official rulebook. Ideally, each polo rider has six ponies, changing to a fresh horse for each seven-minute “chukker;” a match is made up of four to six chukkers. Many polo ponies are former racehorses. The small horses stand less than 14.1 hands high but must sturdily gallop long thirty-something miles per hour carrying a rider wield-
ing a long-handled mallet. To field a team properly requires at least 24 trained ponies, costing $15,000 to $60,000 apiece. Polo’s popularity took off during the roaring twenties. In 1922, the National Polo Pony counted 63,000 ponies. Celebrities enjoyed and promoted the sport, among them Oklahoma humorist Will Rogers, film stars Spencer Tracy and Leslie Howard and imaginative Walt Disney. The USPA listed 65 clubs and 2,500 players by 1935. The Broadmoor became a major polo center with stables for more than 400 horses. Quite a few guests brought their own ponies, especially those visiting from the oil-rich regions of Oklahoma. Spencer Penrose installed four (900’ x 1800’) polo fields for wealthy sportsmen who sought the cool summers in the Colorado Rockies. He groomed a Broadmoor Polo team and sent it East for national competitions. Accentuating dashing image, innkeeper Penrose pulled on his jodhpurs and donned his Stetson to ride horseback, making his daily rounds to oversee the Broadmoor and surrounding grounds. Local millionaires and tycoons enthusiastically embraced the sport, organizing the Broadmoor Polo Association and applauding when the Penrose Polo Park with grandstand opened at Elm Avenue and Polo Avenue. The 1920s saw outdoor sports in Colorado blossoming, popularized by vacationing movie stars and aided by the efforts of the Colorado Mountain Club. Tourists took pleasure in trail rides, picnics, pack trips and backcountry hunting and jodhpurs became the stylish choice for the trail. Polo declined in the thirties due to the Depression and sunk further during World War II as horse stock was depleted by the war. The Broadmoor polo auditorium was converted into an indoor ice arena for figure skating. Not until the 1960s did polo see a revival. Polo clubs active in Colorado today include Aspen Valley Polo Club, Boulder Polo Club, Colorado Springs Polo Club and Colorado State University Polo Club; also Columbine Polo & Equestrian Center (Littleton), R & L Farms Polo Club (Elizabeth), Red Rock Rangers Polo Club (Larkspur), Roaring Fork Polo Club (New Castle) and Rose Spur Polo Club (Snowmass). The Roaring Fork Polo Club west of Glenwood Springs hosts the Devereux Cup. Named for the founder of the historic Hotel Colorado, the end-of-August event attracts more than 1,000 spectators for the roundrobin matches. The weekend festivities include a meet-the-players party and auction that benefits a local children’s charity. The Denver Polo Club operates fields and barns 30 miles south of Denver beside Plum Creek. Erica Gandcomcar, whose family runs the Denver Polo club, is one of the top female players in the nation. The annual Denver Polo Classic combines world-class polo with the nation’s largest charitable polo tournament. The three days of entertainment, sport, and culinary delights held at majestic Polo Reserve in Littleton against the spectacular backdrop of the Rocky Mountains with Schomp BMW as the major sponsor.
