Foundation gives veterans the gift of flight Biplane from 1940s takes wing from terminal at Centennial Airport

BY TOM MUNDS TMUNDS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Billie McMahon’s smile stretched from ear to ear and lit up the room June 7 after she completed her flight in a 1940s biplane arranged by the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation.

“The experience was incredible,” McMahon, a 91-year-old World War II veteran, said after her flight. “You could see everything and it was exciting when he banked the plane to the left or right. I loved the flight and I would love to go again.”

McMahon was one of about halfdozen veterans from Littleton MorningStar Senior Living Facility who got to take an aerial spin around the area.

McMahon enlisted in the Women’s Army Air Corps during World War II. “I didn’t like the ways things were going at work — we were at war so I decided to do my part,” she said. “I lived in Massachusetts then and was assigned to a Westover, a nearby base.

I was a welder in civilian life and the Air Corps put me to work welding airplanes, B-24 bombers.”

She was later assigned to clerk duty, where she met her husband, and they have been married for 71 years. They lived in Littleton before moving to MorningStar. Her husband was also supposed to fly June 7 but decided to pass it up.

“He doesn’t know what he missed,” she said.

Other veterans from the Littleton facility who participated included Fay Cunningham, 94, who served in the Army during World War II; retired Army Master Sgt. Willis Lee, 82, who was in Korea and Vietnam; and Don Dirroll, 88, a Korean War veteran. One by one, they waited at the Signature Fight Service Center terminal at Centennial Airport to wait for their rides.

The foundation also provided flights for a group of veterans who live in the Parker MorningStar facility.

The grin on the face of Korean War veteran Don Dirroll shows he enjoyed taking a short flight in a 1940s biplane. Dirroll and about half a dozen other veterans who live at MorningStar of Littleton took the short flight from Centennial Airport that was provided by the Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation. Through the generosity of sponsors, the foundation’s three Boeing Stearman planes travel the United States providing aerial spins for veterans and seniors living in assisted living facilities.

PHOTOS BY TOM MUNDS Model 75 blended with the whine of corporate jets as the black-andwhite biplane taxied into place at the Signature terminal to accept another passenger.

The flights are offered by the nonprofit Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation. The organization’s three aircraft and their crews travel around the country offering the rides for free to veterans and seniors.

“We typically work with assisted living facilities and are able to do this because of the support of our sponsors like Sportsclips and Signature Flight Support,” said Diane Winterborn, the foundation volunteer coordinating the flights. “We are volunteers and each year the foundation’s three Boeing Stearman airplanes travel to hundreds of locations to provide rides for thousands of seniors and veterans.”

The foundation provides the flights in keeping with its motto: “Give back to those who have given and dream of soaring like eagles.”

Billie McMahon, 91, smiles as a 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane taxis out to the Centennial Airport runway to take her on an aerial spin of the area.

The veterans waited in the Signature Flight Support terminal for their turn to crawl into the front seat of the biplane.

“I was very surprised when they told me I was going flying,” said 88-year-old Don Dirroll, a Korean War veteran. “I didn’t know things like this existed, but I am glad they gave me the chance to make this flight.”

Dirroll was the first MorningStar of Littleton resident to take the flight.

The pilot and volunteers moved in to help him clamber over the side of the

aircraft and into the front seat. Once he was belted in, he donned a World War II cloth helmet and earphones, gave a thumbs up and the pilot fired up the engine.

His smile lit up the room when he returned from the flight.

“It was very nice,” he said. “It was a lot better than I thought it would be.

I liked that I could look down and see all the buildings and the lakes as we flew over them. It was a lot of fun and I would be ready and willing to go flying with them again.”

At 84, Myra Rhodes is crushing the south metro running competition in her age bracket.

On May 20, she strode into first place in her 70- to 99-year-old division at the High Line Canal 5K Race, finishing in 38 minutes and 33 seconds.

This is not Myra’s first win.

According to her son, Lee Rhodes, 61, she set two national records when she was in the 50s age group.

“If she wins, you’d never know it,” Lee said. “She doesn’t gloat and she is very humble.”

Previously a tennis player, Myra, a Centennial resident, started running when her husband joined a running club. She hit the running trail and never looked back. Myra has run 35 marathons since she started running 40 years ago. She has also completed several 50k races and a few 50-mile races.

“My first marathon, I was 56,” Myra said. “I just started doing these races.

My husband ran too, so we kept each other going.”

Lee believes that Myra’s diligence and persistence in the sport of running comes from the way she grew up.

“It really is a generational thing,” Lee said. “Younger folks today don’t seem to have that sense of urgency.

They have too much entitlement. My parents had to work for everything

they got. They had a very solid work ethic.”

Turning 85 in July, Myra is still running. She has hardly slowed down despite a serious injury.

Years ago, Myra had a goal to run a marathon when she was 80. But, while on the drive to the St. George Marathon, Myra got in a car accident and injured her neck.

Myra got back on the running trail as soon as she could.

“They had to put three screws into my neck, I was in such good shape that they were surprised how quick my recovery was,” Myra said. “I couldn’t get back into running as much as I had been, so I had to settle for doing half (marathons).”

Myra’s love of running may be genetic; the two generations after her are also accomplished athletes.

One of her sons is a semi-professional tennis player, her daughter is on the United States National Team for mountain bike racing and Lee is a dedicated cyclist.

In 1995, Lee and Myra ran the New York Marathon together. They crossed the finish line holding hands.

Myra recently ran a half marathon from Georgetown to Idaho Springs with her 10-year-old grandson, Kyle Rhodes.

“She started us out when we were young in sports,” Lee said. “We basically made it into a lifestyle.”

Running competitive marathons around the world, notably the Boston Marathon and New York Marathon, Myra is well-known in the running world. Her family and fellow runners see her as a role model.

“She has just been inspirational in life,” Lee said. “I wanted to impress her because she was so impressive.

She is just really special.”

Littleton Fire Rescue seeks to merge dispatch with South Metro Department wants to join forces with larger district, but the city asks for citizen input first

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Littleton’s fire department wants to merge its dispatch services with those of South Metro Fire Rescue, a deal officials say would save the city hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

But the city wants to hear from residents first at a June 27 public hearing.

Littleton’s dispatch center also covers Highlands Ranch, the Littleton Fire Protection District (covering western Centennial and unincorporated Jefferson County) and the Cunningham Fire Protection District (covering a small portion of Centennial and parts of unincorporated Arapahoe County).

Under a proposal presented to Littleton City Council by Littleton Fire Rescue Chief Chris Armstrong at the June 6 city council meeting, dispatch for those districts would be folded into the centralized dispatch center of South Metro, a large consolidated district. South Metro’s coverage area includes, among other communities, Parker, Lone Tree, Greenwood Village, Castle Pines and a large chunk of Centennial.

Littleton’s dispatch center is getting squeezed by an increasing call load and a high turnover rate, Armstrong said.

“We’re currently budgeted for 13 1/2 full-time employees in the dispatch center, and we employ nine,” Armstrong said. “We have a very high overtime rate. We hired some part-time employees, but it’s a challenge for them because we’re their second job. We’re subject to their availability.”

Armstrong said eight employees logged a cumulative 2,500 to 3,000 overtime hours last year.

“Because of that, I felt there were some safety concerns working our employees that hard, and this is a critical job — getting the information right is crucial,” Armstrong said.

Retaining employees is hard because of the high-stress nature of the job, Armstrong said, and because other area districts pay better. Littleton’s dispatchers start out making a little over $40,000 a year, which is in about the 50th percentile of pay based on the industry average according to the city’s contracted human resources company. South Metro’s starting

pay is in the 85th percentile on the same scale.

Currently, Littleton spends approximately $1.4 million a year on fire dispatch services, according to a city news release.

South Metro’s proposal would bill the city $58.46 per call, with that rate locked in through the end of 2018. At present, Littleton has a cost per call of $65.99.

Estimates vary, but most models show the city saving approximately $400,000 a year. The per-call rate would be adjusted according to the Consumer Price Index for the Denver metro area.

All current employees of Littleton’s dispatch center would be offered a job at South Metro and would be allowed to keep their seniority and benefits, according to the draft of a user agreement between the city and South Metro.

Armstrong said the city consistently meets its 911 call response time goals, and predicts efficiency would only get better with South Metro, which is the only Colorado district to be recognized as an Accredited Center of Excellence by the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch.

The initial contract, if approved, would expire at the end of 2021.

City council passed the agreement 6-1 on first reading at the June 6 meeting. While Councilmember Doug Clark was the only dissenting vote, Mayor Bruce Beckman also expressed concerns before voting yes.

“When we make the decision that we’re no longer going to provide dispatch, we unwind a complete system and take it down and apart,” Beckman said the day after the meeting. “Once you do that, it’s very hard to get it back again.

What we’re looking at is a very significant concern that this is the right decision, because once it’s made, it’s the path we’re on.”

Much of the hesitation centers on the length of the contract.

“A contract with a longer lifespan would make me feel better,” Beckman said. “I would much prefer a longer contract.

Four years is a short period of time. It’s a blip.”

Clark questioned whether the deal makes economic sense.

“Fundamentally, South Metro pays more than we do,” Clark said.

“They staff their center to the same standards we do. The idea that they can provide service for cheaper than us is nonsensical.

If they’re willing to provide us a contract where they subsidize us for a period of time, and it’s enough to justify the cost of switching over and the risk of switching back, then it might be worth doing, but four years isn’t that period.”

‘Old-fashioned fun’ draws largest pinball crowd yet Games and tournaments are blast from the past

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For three days each year, blinking pinball machines, old-school arcade games and sounds of bells, beeps and whistles fill the first floor of Denver Marriott South in Lone Tree.

Here is where players, collectors and families assemble to partake in the pastime of analog gaming.

“I think it’s a unique art form that is coming back,” said Dan Nikolich, who with his wife, Holly, founded Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown and Gameroom Expo. “It’s something that you get to touch and feel versus everything in the digital world.”

Nikolich, 38, used to fix vintage gaming systems as a teenager and purchased his first pinball machine after college. Holly has a background in marketing and public relations.

Together the Highlands Ranch couple started a tradition that would bring life to a hobby that nearly died in 1999, when one of the largest manufacturers, WMS Industries, closed its pinball division.

The three-day tradition started 14 years ago with some 80 games and a couple hundred people. Held from June 8-11, this year’s event featured nearly 300 games and drew thousands of guests from across the west.

For many who came, pinball is more than leveraging a tiny ball through a glass box. It’s a skill, a challenge, an art to be mastered. It holds special memories from childhood for some. It’s a collector’s item for others.

Brandon Wheeler was 9 or 10 years old when he played his first pinball machine. Its theme was Jurassic Park, his favorite movie at the time. When he was 25, he purchased his first pinball machine — also Jurassic Park-themed.

Since then, he has owned 30 machines and repaired 50 to 100.

“It starts with one and they multiply,” said Wheeler, 33, of Centennial, also a tournament director of the expo. “A lot of people see movies and then want to play the game.”

Pinball, which Wheeler describes as a sport, is making a comeback for a number of reasons: the gaming community is more inclusive, older generations are passing the hobby to their kids and grandkids, and more companies are producing games, he said.

“It’s a way for companies to license popular or nostalgic property,” said Wheeler.

At the expo, themes of machines ranged from Popeye the Sailor, a newspaper comic launched in 1919, to today’s hit HBO series Game of Thrones.

When her husband purchased an Addams Family pinball machine a year and a half ago, Snow Galvin was hooked. She’s captivated by the design of the machine — its animated graphics and hidden messages on the exterior and thousands of wires on

Dozens of people fill a hotel conference room on June 9 for the 17th annual Pinball Showdown and Gameroom Expo. The weekendlong event has hundreds of vintage pinball machines and arcade games.

PHOTOS BY ALEX DEWIND the interior. The Denver resident now plays on a league and competes in tournaments.

“You can totally nerd out on this stuff,” said Galvin, 33, who sat on a women’s panel at the expo.

Sitting a few seats down from her was Helena Higgins, women’s world champion of pinball. Higgins, originally from Sweden but now living in Thornton, said she played competitive volleyball for years and always had a knack for ball sports. Pinball was big in Sweden in the 1990s, so she started playing and competing. In 2011, at a competition, she met a man from Thornton and last year the two married at 1up LoDo, a bar and arcade in downtown Denver.

“It’s beautiful and it challenges you,” Higgins said of pinball. “It’s fun to learn the rules and be able to master the game.”

Not everyone at the expo had a history with pinball. Some people accompanied a child or spouse to simply enjoy a day of games. After receiving a wristband in a hall of the hotel, attendees had access to a giant conference room and several smaller rooms lined with every type of game — from a wooden arcade game to a life-size Pac-Man displayed on a giant screen.

Vendors nestled in the corners selling tech gadgets like fidget spinners and portable lights.

Deborah Hindman, of Littleton, was there for her husband, an avid participant of the hobby. The 43-year-old hopped from game to game. Wizard of Oz is her favorite.

Cinnamon Harold, of Denver, perched behind her 4-year-old son as he maneuvered a Spider Man machine.

Her reason for attending was simple: “It’s just old-fashioned fun.”

Local ride brings healing to community members with Parkinson’s

BY STEPHANIE MASON SMASON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Parkinson’s disease cannot keep those affected from pedaling through south metro Denver on June 24.

The Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s event will take its participants from Lone Tree through Centennial and Highlands Ranch. Many people with Parkinson’s will be riding among their supporters and loved ones as money is raised to fund research to battle the disease.

Parkinson’s, a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, afflicts one person in 100 people over the age of 60. Tremors, stiff movement and muscular issues are common. The cause of the disease is unknown and it affects people in different ways.

In the event’s eighth year, 200 to 300 cyclists are expected with an additional 300 volunteers and supporters. The

IF YOU GO WHAT: Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s WHEN: Saturday, June 24 WHERE: Sweetwater Park, Lone Tree. The park is just off of South Yosemite Street between Maximus Drive and Lone Tree Parkway.

Contact: To register to ride or volunteer, or to learn about starting times and the different rides, visit http://pedaling4parkinsons.org annual charity bicycle ride and expo has raised $250,000 to fight Parkinson’s since its first ride in 2010.

The tandem bike project is one of the ride’s most notable aspects. Strong cyclists are paired on a tandem bike with someone who has Parkinson’s who cannot ride on his or her own.

Tandem bikes are donated from vari-

ous community bike shops.

“They may not be able to contribute anything in terms of effort,” longtime volunteer, Greg Fiske said. “But it allows them to get back on a bicycle when they thought that their cycling days were over. It allows them to be part of the solution … It is an emotionally powerfully part of the event to see these people who had pretty much given up hopes of riding a bike and then giving them an opportunity to do it.”

Fiske is deeply invested in helping at the event every year. His father has Parkinson’s and his stepfather died from a complication from the disease.

Fiske believes cycling is highly beneficial for those affected. He referenced several studies that showed how cycling can help people with Parkinson’s, mentioning a man who could not walk but who could ride a bicycle without a problem.

“The best thing people who have Par-

kinson’s can do is remain active physically, emotionally and intellectually,” Fiske said. “That slows the disease.”

Cyclists participating in the ride have the option to pedal through a 10-, 40- or 60-mile ride that begins at Sweetwater Park in Lone Tree. Each rider pledges to raise $150 for Parkinson’s disease in addition to their registration fee, with all donations going directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which is committed to research and development of a cure for the illness.

After the ride, an expo for riders, families and community members will provide information about the disease.

Representatives from the Michael J. Fox Foundation will be present and there will be music, food, children’s events and beer to enjoy.

“It is not just about raising money to send away for some research,” Fiske said, “but the founders really want to help people locally.”

Freedom brings responsibility

This Independence Day, give our streams a break. Not only are personal fireworks a fire danger, but also, their waste poses a threat to our waterways when not disposed of properly. Summer days in Colorado often bring flashing rain and thunderstorms that quickly wash away waste on streets and parking lots, sending them straight to the nearest stream. What isn’t collected and thrown away after the celebration may be gone before you know it. Take the time this holiday and clean up after yourself.

Local stormwater agencies are teaming up to bring you this message. We take this so seriously that we posted this ad rather than send you more garbage in the mail.

One thing is clear: our creeks, rivers and lakes depend on you.

VOICES Nothing against beauty, but we could do without the pageants

QUIET DESPERATION

Craig Marshall Smith

I

f I had a daughter, the first thing I would say to her would be, “Please don’t talk with your mouth full.”

The second thing I would say to her would be, “Please don’t enter beauty pageants.”

I think they’re dumb.

The little girls, the young women and the women who enter them aren’t dumb, it’s the idea.

I watched a few Miss America pageants when I was a kid. When I was old enough to know better, 9, I stopped.

I thought by now they would have disappeared like travel agents and pay phones.

They haven’t.

The absolute worst of the worst of the worst are the child-aged ones that once featured JonBenet Ramsey.

When winners are announced, it’s always news to me. I never know when they are scheduled, where they are scheduled, or why they are scheduled.

Miss District of Columbia was recently crowned Miss USA 2017. I heard her answer to the $64,000 question stirred things up for a day or two.

Perhaps you didn’t know this. According to The Washington Post, “beauty pageants emerged in the South during Jim Crow as a way to assert white superiority.” Not a great basis for something.

Historian Blain Roberts has written a book about this. “Pageants, Parlors, and Pretty Women.”

The Miss America pageant lifted the rule that contestants “be of the white race” in 1950.

Every minority or mixed-race winner since then has been met with racist backlashes.

Still, they go on.

For the winner? I think they get a tan Ciera and a scholarship of some kind.

veryone wants to live their lives with dignity. It sounds simple and may be something we take for granted or don’t think about very much, but we should. We need to be taking steps to make certain all phases of life, and even to the point of dying, are with dignity.

profession. One of his mottos was that financial planning is a noble profession (as opposed to an industry) as we help others live their lives with dignity. One of our jobs is to help people with life planning, which evolves into being able to retire and eventually age with dignity.

Richard (Dick) Wagner, JD, CFP was constantly challenging SEE KUMMER P13

irst of all, let’s begin by wishing all of the people celebrating Father’s Day a very happy and joyous day WINNING this Sunday.

WORDS Some of you reading this may be a father yourself, others of you may play the role of a father, we may have some Michael Norton grandfathers celebrating the day too. And of course, we certainly have plenty of children of all ages celebrating with their fathers, and as a father myself, the day really is about my children and not about me at all.

This is also the first Father’s Day that I have ever celebrated where distance and unique situations will have me separated from my children on Sunday. Many of you who have children who are away, maybe living abroad, perhaps serving our country in a foreign land, or who just happen to live too far away to get together in

person probably know exactly how I feel. I am excited for them, disappointed that we are not together, and just happy that I am celebrating Father’s Day in the first place. So like me, you probably also go through the whole cycle of emotions.

Although we are separated by distance, I have faith that each will call, I have faith that I will receive a card and some type of gift in the mail, although both are appreciated, they are also not necessary. I have faith that my children will also text me throughout the day on Sunday with one-liners, jokes, or silly dad humor. And even though we will not be physically together, it will still feel like Father’s Day. I say that with confidence because I also have the faith that each one of my children loves me and they also wish we could be together on Sunday. In the past Father’s Day has typically included a morning round of golf with my son, a baseball game if the Rockies were home with the whole family, or a barbecue with family and friends

who were also celebrating the day.

When it comes to having a father’s faith, we must also believe that we have raised our children the best way we could and that even though we are apart, they know that they are loved, and they know that we have faith in them to succeed, be happy, be healthy, and to be safe.

While we are talking about a father’s faith, we also have to remember that faith and fear are the same thing. They are both based on the belief that something will happen in the future. Positive folks like to have the faith and belief that our children will be loved, cared for when necessary, happy, safe, and secure.

And then there are those of us who worry and instead of faith, we live with fear. We are always afraid that the worst is going to happen instead of expecting the best to happen for our children.

Now some of us, and I mean some very close friends and family members in my own circle, are challenged with a child who has made a bad decision or two, or three for that matter. And those children may not be with us this Father’s Day because they have to be somewhere else for their own good and protection. But here, right here is where a father’s faith is most important. It’s right here in this moment and on Sunday that we can have the faith that our

the financial planning community to go beyond the obvious. Yes, you need a certain amount of money and yes, you should be aware of what your resources are. But what lies beneath the common denominator of money? Planners need to ask the hard questions and challenge you to think about what makes you vulnerable, afraid, confident or confused. We educate, empower and guide you to achieve your goals.

When you are in control, you will have the dignity that goes along with independence.

Dick was not afraid to delve deep into what your relationship with money is. He often asked what your first recollection of money was: Was it used as a tool, a weapon, a positive reinforcement or did it come with a negative connotation?

This will likely shape your relationship with money forever unless you become self-aware enough to consciously change the course to have a healthier relationship with this utility. Here are some of my favorite concepts that those of us who learned from Dick over the past 30 years include in our planning practices: • Money is a tool that we have been granted stewardship of. Those who accept this responsibility have a healthy relationship with money.

children who are struggling will find their path, embark on a new journey, sort out the distractions and dilemmas that temporarily set them astray.

A father’s faith means that we have a strong enough faith in our children that we can remember what my friend, mentor, and former boss Zig Ziglar said thousands of times, “Failure is an event and it is not a person. Yesterday really did end last night.” As a father of a struggling child of any age it is sometimes a little hard, and other times exceedingly difficult. And this is where our faith has to be its strongest.

After all, we all have a Father in heaven who has faith in each one of us regardless of how many mistakes we have made and how many challenging moments we have presented to Him. Our Father has faith in us to find our way, find our path, and become what we are destined to become.

So how about you? If you are a dad or a person who plays the role of a dad, how is your faith in your children? I would love to hear all about your own father’s faith story at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can grant our children the same faith and grace that we have been granted, it really will be a better than good week.

mother, an exceptional painter, and an exceedingly patient girlfriend, in a relationship with someone who misdirects just about every conversation into a labyrinth of obscure references to films and songs.

She has a sense of humor, and she has sense enough not to wear a sash with the words “Miss Colorado” or anything else on it.

Of course, if I did have a daughter, I’d leave it up to her. If she wanted to enter a pageant, I would even drive her there. I’d wish her luck, drop her off, and pick her up afterward.

I would do the same things if she hoped to be a Broncos cheerleader, another aspiration that completely befogs me.

There is something fundamentally wrong about beauty pageants. I feel the same way about Black Friday,

karaoke and sprinkles on donuts.

Who doesn’t appreciate beauty?

My friend Ruth was a stunning New York City model in the 1920s.

She thought she had lost her looks by the time I met her, when she was 88.

One day we looked at a book. It was Georgia O’Keeffe’s biography.

There were pictures of O’Keeffe that were taken when she was in her 80s.

I said, “What do you think?”

She said, “She’s beautiful.”

I said, “So are you.”

Ruth by then was a tough bit of crust, and didn’t believe me. It took some convincing.

I cannot imagine what a little girl must think when she looks in the mirror after watching a beauty pageant.

Kid, take it from me. Please.

• Financial planning is not about managing money, it is guiding individuals to make good decisions and utilize their money to live a full life.

• Financial life planning includes understanding ways to exchange value for what you need. Therefore, money may be the vehicle but it is not the destination.

I am honored to have known, worked with and volunteered with Dick for 30 years. I am honored to be a part of this noble profession, to help others attain their dreams.

The next time you think about a goal, make it a memory instead of a thing. Think of money as something to exchange for something of value.

In other words, change the goal from “to be rich” to “to be independent, informed, empowered.” This will almost guarantee you will retire with dignity and leave a legacy of values, not necessarily money or things that people who do not have a healthy relationship with money will just fight over.

ViewHouse Littleton is finally ready to open on Main Street downtown

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Your table is ready.

ViewHouse Littleton was set to throw open its doors at 8 p.m. on June 15, ending the wait for what Zagat and Eater.com call one of spring’s most anticipated restaurant openings in Denver.

ViewHouse, at 2680 W. Main St. in downtown Littleton, which bills itself as “a chef-driven casual eatery,” features a 10,000-square-foot bar, a 2,000-square-foot courtyard and, of course, a rooftop deck with peerless views of the Front Range and Main

IF YOU GO WHAT: ViewHouse Littleton WHERE: 2680 W. Main St., at the southeast corner of Main and Rapp streets WHEN: Grand opening at 8 p.m. on Thursday, June 15 CONTACT: viewhouse.com Street. Sports fans can catch games on 37 flat screen TVs or the 200-inch LED screen.

Executive chef Jose Guerrero is said

to have an ambitious and fun menu on deck, including a weekend brunch, starting at 7 a.m.

ViewHouse Littleton representatives were not available at press time.

Littleton’s ViewHouse joins two other locations, one overlooking I-25 in Centennial and another in Denver’s Ballpark neighborhood.

“This really adds to the ‘cool factor’ of downtown,” said City of Littleton spokeswoman Kelli Narde. “It’s another indication of how wonderful Littleton Main Street is. This just builds on the charm, character and fun.”

Main Street’s booming bar and restaurant scene has tightened parking,

but Greg Reinke, president of the Historic Downtown Merchants Association isn’t concerned. He said visitors can pay to park in the parking lot of his Reinke Brothers costume shop, half a block north of Main Street on Prince Street.

“I have 135 parcels in my parking lot,” Reinke said. “I charge $3 to park there. If you found $3 parking in downtown Denver, you’d get on your knees and accept God.” Parking in Reinke’s lot is $5 after 6 p.m.

Reinke said he thinks the younger set will make use of nearby light rail or ridesharing apps like Uber and Lyft.

LIFE

safe in the summer’s shining sun

Stick to the shade, and use plenty of sunscreen to decrease risk of sunburn TIPS TO AVOID SUNBURN THIS SUMMER

CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

C

olorado is one of those places that really shows its best self in the summertime.

Outdoor enthusiasts, from the casual to the fanatic, can check off practically every box here in the state — camping, climbing, hiking, biking, fishing, running, tubing and rafting are just a handful of activities to try during the summer. And when activities like checking out baseball games, going to an outdoor concert and sampling street fairs and farmers markets get factored in, it all adds up to a lot time in the sun.

“Because we’re so high here in Colorado, it can only take 10 minutes to get sunburned if you’re not careful,” said Dr. Richard Asarch, founder of Asarch Dermatology and Aesthetics, which has branches in Castle Rock, Englewood, Lakewood and Westminster. “Because it’s so cool in Colorado, the sun often doesn’t feel that bad. But, we’re getting more ultra violet (UV) light intensity because of our elevation.”

According to information provided by the Colorado Melanoma Foundation, Colorado’s skin cancer diagnosis is 30 percent higher than the nation average. The state’s residents are also in the highest risk group for death from skin cancer in the nation, and this rate continues to rise year after year.

“I don’t want people to be afraid to be outside, but while you are out there, you should do what you can to avoid sunburn,” said Dr. Neil Box, associate professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and president of the Melanoma Foundation. “Every year when summer comes around, we try to remind people of the negative health consequences that come with spending time unprotected in the sun.”

The damage to the skin comes from the sun’s UV rays, of which there are two kinds that are particularly intense — UVA and UVB. The intensity of UVA rays is more consistent throughout the day, whereas the intensity of UVB fluctuates but is strongest around noon and has a greater effect on DNA, according to the Melanoma Foundation’s information.

In addition to skin cancer, particularly melanoma, over exposure to the sun also leads to premature aging of the skin.

“People should try to avoid the

SKIN CANCER WARNING SIGNS Examine skin head to toe once a month: Take note of any new moles or growths, and any existing growths that begin to grow or change significantly in any other way. Lesions that change, itch, bleed, or don’t heal are also alarm signals.

Look for the ABCDEs of Melanoma: A = Asymmetry. One half is unlike the other half.

B = Border. An irregular,

scalloped or poorly defined border.

C = Color. Is varied from one area to another; has shades of tan, brown or black, or is sometimes white, red, or blue.

D = Diameter. Melanomas are usually greater than 6 milimeters (the size of a pencil eraser) when diagnosed, but they can be smaller.

E = Evolving. A mole or skin lesion that looks different from the rest or is changing in size, shape or color.

midday sun, so I say do your activities before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m.,” said Dr. Robert Dellavalle, professor of dermatology and public health at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. “You don’t want to use sunscreen to stay out longer.

You should use it to prevent getting burned while you’re out.”

One good way to tell if it’s too sunny to be out without protection is to look at your shadow. If a person’s shadow is shorter than the person is tall, then its time to seek out shade, Dellavalle added.

The best thing a person can do to avoid sunburn when outside is stick to the shady areas, but since that isn’t always the option, it’s important to remember coverage.

Long-sleeved shirts and pants are good ideas, according to experts, and many companies now make breathable fabrics that will stay cool in the heat. Hats, specifically those with wide brims, are also highly recommended, especially for people who are bald.

“A lot of bikers forget that their helmets have slits in them, and the top of their heads can get burned that way,” Asarch said. “The problem with baseball caps is sometimes your ears can stick out, so we recommend a wide brim that provides shade to your whole head and face.”

When it comes to sunscreen, people should look for broad spectrum, which means it will protect the skin

Use the Ugly Duckling Sign: Most moles and spots on a body are the same or are similar-looking to each other. As such, a person using this method can compare moles with each other. If any mole stands out or looks different from that of surrounding moles, it is the “ugly duckling.” If a person finds a mole that is significantly different from its neighbors, get it checked out.

MALLETS FOR MELANOMA CHARITY POLO TOURNAMENT The Colorado Melanoma Foundation’s annual fundraiser is the Mallets for Melanoma Charity Polo Tournament, held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sunday, Aug. 6.

For more information, or to participate, visit www.malletsformelanoma.com. from both UVA and UVB, and get at least SPF 30, explained David Erickson, president and founder of Rocky Mountain Sunscreen, which is headquartered in Arvada.

“The thing I notice most is people don’t put sunscreen on properly,” he said. “You want to apply it indoors, at least 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. Sunscreen is designed to go on cool, dry skin, and if you put it on when you’re already sweating, it’s just going to be pushed out with the other moisture.”

Another problem many people have is not using enough sunscreen.

A good reference is about a shot glass’s worth (or an ounce) is the proper amount to use, Erickson said.

As is always the case with cancer, early detection is key, so Dr. Stan Hill, with Golden’s Hill Center for Dermatology, advised at least an annual skin check. People should also make note of any spots or blemishes, and keep an eye on them.

WHEN OUTSIDE, STICK TO SHADY SPACES

WEAR LONGSLEEVED SHIRTS AND PANTS

WEAR SUNGLASSES AND WIDEBRIMMED HAT USE SUNSCREEN THAT IS AT LEAST SPF 30 AND BROAD SPECTRUM APPLY SUNSCREEN INDOORS, 15 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE

“Set a good example for the kids, and take care of your skin,” he said.

“If they see you being smart with the sun, they’ll pick up on it.”

Outdoorsman

Problem-solver Entrepreneur Thinker Giver Family man

Victor Mitchell is a businessman, yes, but more precisely he’s a problem-solver. The successful entrepreneur like Mitchell knows two things: how to identify business problems, and then, how to be a problem-solver. Consider this problem-solving case study. Victor participated in the 1990’s cellular boom, but found that cellular was too expensive for many consumers and a tough startup for independent retailers. Victor devised clever solutions. He pioneered recycling pre-owned cell phones. And he organized a sort of co-op for small and independent “mom-and-pop” retailers to negotiate complex contracts with the big-boys of cellular, getting the little guys better equipment and better rates for their customers. Victor helped more than a thousand independent shops get the clout they needed, solving some problems they alone couldn’t.

Honors deserved Victor Mitchell’s companies have been heralded. The Denver Business Journal tapped Mitchell a “Top 40 Under 40” Colorado business executive. CNN and Entrepreneur magazine spotlighted his achievements. Mitchell’s Advantage Wireless was named the Denver Metro Chamber’s Business of the Year for 2000.

Motorcycles, music and more for a cause Freedom Fest is back at Littleton venue, with a focus on thanking vets

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Motorcycles, metal bands and good times are on tap for the third annual Freedom Fest, a day-long event in Littleton to thank and help America’s military veterans.

Eight bands will rock the Platte River Bar & Grill, 5995 S. Santa Fe Drive, on June 17, including returning headliner Warrant. The day opens with a motorcycle show, followed by a ride to Evergreen and back.

Proceeds from the event support the American Soldier Network, a California-based nonprofit that works

to help veterans tackle psychological and emotional issues.

Organizers are hoping for upward of 4,000 attendees, up from around 3,000 last year. Tickets are $30 in advance or $35 at the door. Free parking will be provided across Santa Fe Drive at Arapahoe Community College, and free shuttle buses will carry attendees across the busy roadway.

For Freedom Fest organizer Dean Gary, of Castle Rock, the event is a way to give back to people who have already given so much.

“I’ve got men and women who would take a bullet for me, who don’t know me, and I don’t think I’ve got a friend who would do that,” Gary said. “The normal thank-yous to a vet are one thing, but I want people to come out, look a vet in the eye, and hug them, SEE FREEDOM, P31

The band Warrant rocks the house at Freedom Fest 2016. The event is back at Platte River Bar & Grill in Littleton on June 17.

Club baseball team founder takes helm at Legend

Summer swings help sharpen skills School’s out, but baseball games are being played across the area

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORDOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lee Martin, coach of the 18-andunder Batter’s Box summer club baseball team, has a very convincing argument for why high schoolage athletes should play summer ball.

“First of all is to keep the reps going,” he said. “Baseball and golf, in my opinion, are the two sports that if you don’t keep repetitions going and continue to work, the minute you put the tools down, they don’t work real well.”

There are many Colorado baseball players spending time this summer refining their skills on club teams, with as many as 50 games in a twomonth span.

There were 60 teams playing in two divisions of the Cherry Creek Classic June 8-11, and the games were played at 17 high school diamonds around the Denver area.

“The main thing about summer baseball is you get like-ability players and they play against other players that are as good or better than they are,” Slammers Martin coach Billy Martin said.

“In high school baseball, there are good players on every team, but when the club teams are put together correctly there are not many holes in them and most of the time players are facing better pitching, and when that happens it just makes the players better.”

Rosters of club teams are filled with players from different high school programs. Additional benefits of playing summer baseball are better competition, weather and

Batter’s Box coach Lee Martin talks to his team between innings of a game during the Cherry Creek Classic baseball tournament. JIM BENTON exposure.

“It’s just a lot of games we get to play,” said Slammers Martin catcher Noah Kuzma, a senior-be-be at Valor Christian. “In the spring, we usually play 19, and if you are lucky you will play in the 20s. We’ve played 18 games already and we’ll play through July 24.”

Cherry Creek U18 coach Marc Johnson said players and college scouts learn a lot during the summer.

“It’s a short season, sort of like the high school season, but the weather is so much better than in the spring,” he said. “You’ll end up knocking off 50 games in a twomonth period with the tournaments on the weekends. It’s not uncommon to play five to seven games on a weekend.

“Players get to see lots of different kinds of pitchers: righthanders, lefthanders, hard and soft. And it’s a huge advantage when the college scouts can see you. Colleges are playing during the high school sea-

egend High School didn’t have to look too far to find its new baseball coach.

Scott Boyd, the founder and coach for the Colorado Yard Dawgs club program OVERTIME located in Parker, has been hired as the Titans baseball coach to replace Scott Fellers, who has been the only baseball coach in the 10-year history of the Parker school.

Fellers will remain at the school as a teacher.

“You can’t imagine how Jim Benton excited I am about the Legend program,” said Boyd. “Scott Fellers did a wonderful job. He turned the program into a 5A powerhouse.

“I feel very capable to carrying it to the next level, hopefully building more league championships and a state championship.

But more important is building a strong foundation fundamentally for the players both academically and athletically.”

In another baseball lineup change, Steve Eaton, who was the baseball coach at Chaparral for 11 seasons and 10 campaigns at Gateway, is the new baseball coach at Cherokee Trail.

He replaces Allan Dyer, who retired as coach at the Centennial League school.

In 21 years of coaching, Eaton has compiled a 326-125-1 record. He left Chap in 2008 and he has been involved in club baseball since leaving the Wolverines.

“I have a new perspective since I’ve been on both sides with club and high school baseball,” said Eaton. “I’m certainly excited to be at Cherokee Trail. It’s not going to be the same but it’s going to be me, and I’m going to take advantage of what Allan has done.”

Sloan wins twice Rock Canyon junior Emily Sloan won both hurdle events at the Great Southwest Classic on June 3 in Albuquerque.

Sloan, who won the Class 5A 100 meters for the second consecutive year and was second in the 300 after failing to clear the final hurdle at last month’s state track championships, captured the 100-meter hurdles in 13.78 and the 300-meters in 42.14.

Lutheran’s Maya Evans, who was first in four events at the Class 3A state meet, won the long jump with a 20-03.25 leap.

Jaguar golfer’s dedication makes her stand out Amelia Lee honored for results, consistency on course

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

One thing all the leaderboards at most girls high school golf tournaments last spring had in common was the name of Rock Canyon senior Amelia Lee. Lee was always among the leaders and her consistency was one of the reasons she was SOUTH METRO selected at the ATHLETES 2017 Colorado OF THE YEAR Community Media South Metro Girls Golfer of the Year.

She was a four-time state qualifier, averaged 75.75 this spring to rank third lowest in the Continental League, won four league tournaments, finished second in the regionals and was third in the Class 5A state tournament after leading the first round.

After coming in with an opening day state tournament score of 75 on May 22 at The Club at Rolling Hills, Lee’s second round of 80 left her a shot out of a playoff for medalist honors.

“I didn’t play as well as I wanted to but it was OK,” she said while masking her disappointment. “I had fun.”

Jaguars coach Dave Vahling, however, wasn’t surprised by Lee’s resolve.

“So besides the stats, Rock Canyon’s golf team looked for Amelia’s leadership each week going into league and invitational tournaments,” said Vahling.

“She was one of the best girls to

Rock Canyon’s Amelia Lee is the Colorado Community Media South Metro Girls Golfer of the Year.

“And while doing all of this maintaining a 4-plus grade-point average.”

Lee will be playing studying and playing golf next season at Creighton University.

“I know what needs to be worked on,” said Lee, “definitely the putting and getting on in regulation.”

It didn’t take Vahling long to realize he had a special golfer in Lee. “I could tell from the first time I saw her she had what it takes to play golf at the next level,” said Vahling. “She would come to practice after playing earlier that day in a tournament. You very rarely see that with girl golfers.

Even from most of the boys players too.”

Senior Asher Nolting was more than a goal scorer for the state champion Cherry Creek boys lacrosse team.

He was a playmaker and a leader who just happened SOUTH METRO to score a lot of ATHLETES goals.

OF THE YEAR Nolting was picked as the 2017 Colorado Community Media South Metro Boys Lacrosse Player of the Year.

“He’s an unbelievable player,” said Creek coach Bryan Peery. “I’ve been doing this 21 years and a varsity coach for 18 years and he’s the best player I’ve ever coached, no doubt about it.”

here this weekend. It’s their chance to get out and see some kids.”

Lighting U18 coach Dave Tucker hasn’t forgotten about the love of the game.

“In our program, first and foremost, our focus is still always fun,” he said. “Each of our teams have 15 four-hour practices throughout the summer... We set our schedules up especially so we can have two morning workouts a week. We want players to have fun and put them in the most competitive situations we can throughout the summer and then still develop them.”

Another factor that helps players develop in the summer is that wooden bats are used in most tournaments.

Teams have to hit-and-run, bunt, advance runners and play something other than long ball. And, pitchers who make good pitches are more often rewarded.

“It’s definitely harder to hit with a wood bat, and a mistake pitch can be caught at the warning track instead of going out of the park,” Kuzma said. “It is harder to hit with a wood bat but it makes you a lot better hitter.”

LACROSSE

Cherry Creek centerfielder Tanner O’Tremba agrees.

“It’s really different because with metal you can get beat and still do well but with wood it really shows up,” he said. “There’s no room for error when you a hitting with a wood bat. There are definitely a lot less home runs that are hit.

“The biggest thing about summer is you getting the play like a major leaguer would. It makes you a lot better since you get to play so much. You are playing every day and get the see what real baseball looks like.”

The Slammers Martin U17 team won the Qualifier Division of the Cherry Creek Classic with a 16-1 win over the Creek U18 team. This was a qualifying tournament, with two teams advancing to the Connie Mack South Plains Regional tournament, which will be held July 18-23 in Enid, Oklahoma.

Cherry Creek will play in Enid, but the Slammers Martin team will instead be playing in the U17 Perfect Game World Series July 20-24 in Phoenix.

Slammers Bauer, an U18 team, will replace Slammers Martin in the Enid tourney.

In the non-qualifier division championship game, Elite Baseball defeated the Gillette (Wyoming) Riders 9-4.

He topped all 5A players in assists and points but finished eight behind Douglas County’s Mike Blais for the state goal scoring lead.

Asher, who will play at High Point University next season in High Point, North Carolina, had three goals and three assists in the Bruins’ 17-8 win over Regis Jesuit in the state

Schalk, the Class 3A state golf champion, fired a final round 3-under par 69 that included a birdie on the 17th hole that wrapped up a oneshot tournament victory over Trussi Li of Diamond Bar, California, who tied for second place with Charlotte Hillary, a Kent Denver freshman from Cherry Hills Village.

Li set a course record with a 7-under-par 65 to finish at 213 while Schalk had a 69 for a 54-hole total of 4-under-par 212. Hillary shot a 74 in the third round.

championship game.

“We all did our jobs,” said Nolting.

“It showed on the field.”

One reason for Creek’s success was Nolting’s ability to deal out assists to open teammates.

“He did a great job of being a team player,” admitted Perry. “He made everybody around him better. He’s a great leader, does a heck of a job with balls, ground balls and a great job of assisting on goals and hustle.

That just doesn’t happen. He was a great quarterback of the offense.”

Lakewood’s Griffin Barela, the second round leader in the boys division, finished tied for fourth with a 4-under-par 212 after a final 75 on the 7,216-yard course for the boys.

Artem Yalovenko, a Russian who lives in Florida, fashioned a final round 5-under-par 67 for a 7-underpar 209 total and won by stroke over two players that included Grand Junction’s Trevor Olkowski, who posted an even-par 72 in the final round.
