The heart and soul of Denver’s film culture Metro Denver’s homeless population the rise

Denver Film, Sie FilmCenter working to get audiences back to the movies

12.8% growth in two years, survey finds

The setting for one of Kelsey Holmes’ earliest memories is a movie theater. When she was a toddler, she went to see the 1994 Walt Disney film, “The Lion King,” with her sister and her mom.

This launched a love of film that has lasted Holmes’ entire life, and now, as an adult, the Capitol Hill resident serves as the membership coordinator for Denver Film.

Based out of the Sie FilmCenter, 2510 E. Colfax Ave., Holmes loves her job, and one reason is she gets to talk about films with people every day.

“That is such a gift to me,” Holmes said. “I am at the center of such a vibrant and knowledgeable (film) SEE FILM, P4

done alone for a night up there.”

After Toor and his wife, Mariella Colvin, tumbled nearly 1,000 vertical feet down an icy couloir, Toor had a broken femur. Colvin, 59, had nine broken ribs, fractured vertebrae and a broken sternum but still bushwhacked over talus and downed trees to reach campers almost 2 miles away.

Of course neither of them knew the extent of their injuries as Colvin

The number of people experiencing homelessness was up 12.8% in 2022 compared to 2020, before the pandemic, according to preliminary data from the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative point-in-time survey.

The annual count, which captures homelessness in the sevencounty metro Denver region, showed there was an increase in homelessness of 784 people.

In January 2020, the last time a comprehensive count was conducted, there were 6,104 people counted who were homeless in metro Denver. This year, 6,888 people were counted, according to the first phase of data.

“We are awaiting HUD’s verification of the region’s demographic data before releasing further information, but for planning purposes, it is important to share the overall sheltered and unsheltered count for the region,” Jamie Rife, executive director of the Metro Denver Homeless Initiative, said in a statement.

MDHI will release a second phase of data once the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s

Energy czar, wife recovering after a 1,000-foot fall in Rocky Mountain National Park

BY JASON BLEVINS THE COLORADO SUN

Will Toor was thinking he was at the end. He was pretty sure his leg was broken. He was shivering uncontrollably in the snow high in the mountains. He’d watched his injured wife limp away to get help two hours earlier.

Every few minutes he’d holler for help.

Then, in the distance, he saw two climbers coming his way.

“That was just a wonderful sight,” said the 61-year-old Toor, who works as the head of the Colorado Energy Office.

When climbers Markian Feduschak and Riley Gaines heard Toor’s faint calls, they rallied.

“I’m glad he yelled for help and I’m glad we were there,” said Feduschak, an accomplished Eagle mountaineer who earlier this month helped rescue Toor from a snowy mountainside in Rocky Mountain National Park.

“It’s questionable how he would have

went for help. Now, as they face a long recovery with a good prognosis, Toor said they are reflecting on “our heroes.”

“I don’t think I’d be here if it wasn’t for them,” he said from his rehab hospital room where he and Colvin will remain for at least another week. “I’m still kind of having trouble believing it actually happened and I definitely have moments when I’m like ‘Why did this have to happen?’ But mostly, mostly I feel lucky. So lucky.”

Tumbling, confusion and a scream It was about 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 10, when Toor and Colvin reached the bottom of the snow-packed Ptarmigan Fingers couloirs on the north face of Flattop Mountain above Lake Helene in the center of Rocky Mountain National Park. They had hiked about 4 miles to the alpine basin from the trailhead after entering the park at 8 a.m. They climbed the western couloir last summer and were eyeing the easternmost chute, which climbs about 1,200 vertical feet, with a steep section at the top, but no overhanging cornice.

They were wearing helmets and crampons and carried ice axes. Their packs held extra layers, food and water. The snow was good and they climbed pretty much straight up. After a couple hours, Toor pulled himself up the steep exit onto flat snow. Colvin was a bit below.

“Things get fuzzy from here,” he said. He recalls tumbling. And confusion, because he was done climbing.

He remembers hearing his wife scream. He tried to self-arrest with his ice tools, but the fall was violent.

He stopped sliding about 100 feet from the bottom of the couloir. He wasn’t able to move, with sharp pain in his right leg. Colvin clad Toor in extra layers and said she’d go for help.

“I saw her walk away and she is incredibly tough,” Toor said. “The only thing she said was her back was a little bit sore and she thought she maybe broke her wrist. I watched her walk away and she looked like she was in decent shape. Which was a huge relief to me.”

Feduschak and Gaines had spent the morning on a multi-pitched technical ascent of Notchtop Mountain. They were scrambling down the peak to their daypacks in the basin below the Ptarmigan Couloirs when they heard someone yelling for help.

It was about 3:30 p.m. when Gaines hustled over to Toor and wrapped the shivering climber in his jacket. When Feduschak arrived a few minutes later they tucked more layers beneath Toor and the snow. A third climber showed up and they gently lifted Toor into a trench they dug in the snow and lined with their packs.

Feduschak and Gaines are certified wilderness first responders.

Feduschak is a veteran climber and ski mountaineer who spent years as an Outward Bound instructor and is president of the Walking Mountains Science Center in Edwards. Gaines is an instructor at the center. Feduschak was able to reach his wife on his mobile, who then called the National Park Service to initiate a rescue.

Gaines triggered the SOS rescue feature on his satellite-connected device, and park rescuers responded with a plan to be there in about three hours.

Then they waited, even huddling over Toor to protect him during a brief storm of rain and sleet.

Feduschak said they were worried about hypothermia and were prepared to move Toor off the snow if the rescuers were going to be any longer. They chose to leave him in place, worried that movement could displace a broken bone and cause internal bleeding.

“Will was a trouper. I know he was in tremendous pain but he was alert and oriented … that kind of reassured us that while it was an emergency, I felt like if we could get him out of there before dark he would be OK,” Feduschak said.

They kept Toor talking, worried he may have struck his head in the fall.

Feduschak knew of Toor but they had never met. His career in outdoor education — and service on the board of Energy Smart Colorado — aligned with Toor’s push for renewable and sustainable energy at the Colorado

Energy Office.

“We talked a little shop,” Feduschak said.

Two paramedics from Rocky Mountain National Park Search and Rescue’s “hasty team” arrived after a couple hours. They called in a Colorado National Guard Black Hawk helicopter from Buckley Space Force Base. The helicopter hovered and lowered paramedics who loaded Toor into a litter. By 8 p.m., he was on his way to Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland.

Members of the park’s search and rescue team also reached Colvin at Odessa Lake, where campers had heard her cries for help. Rescuers spent the night with Colvin and a helicopter with Northern Colorado Med Evac rushed her to the hospital the next morning.

49 missions so far this year Rocky Mountain National Park rescuers have been on 49 rescue missions so far this year. Some have involved fatalities, including the deaths in May of a climber caught in an avalanche on Mount Meeker and a woman who fell into Adams Falls.

That is pacing similarly to last year, when the team responded to 120 incidents and the park logged 4.4 million visits. In 2020, when the park was closed for more than two months during the pandemic, visitation fell to 3.3 million visits and the rescuers responded to 114 incidents. In 2019, when the park counted a record 4.7million visits, the search and rescue team answered 142 calls for help.

This summer the park continued a timed-entry system it launched in 2021. The program requires visitors to schedule and reserve windows of time to enter the park. Toor said he wanted to start earlier but was only able to secure an 8 a.m. entry reservation.

Feduschak and Gaines, who ascended a much more technical route, entered the park before the timed entry system starts at 5 a.m.

“Eight was a late start, but we didn’t quite have the oomph to get in before the 5 a.m. cutoff,” Toor said. “Maybe we just need to suck it up and get there before 5 a.m.”

Mountaineers tend to start early.

Hiking before dawn helps climbers reach summits before afternoon storms roll in or warmer temperatures impact snow stability. (Toor and Colvin were not late to the summit of their short climb and there is no indication that weather or midday temperatures played a role in the collapse of the block where they were summiting.)

“Our experience has been the majority of mountaineers and climbers start before the timed-entry permit system and their decision on when to start is based on making appropriate choices based on the conditions listed above for alpine routes,” park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said, noting that most climbers start alpine routes in the park around 3 a.m. or 4 a.m.

“This sort of restores your faith in people” Colorado adventurers know that offering aid could be part of just about every outing. While the state’s robust crews of volunteer rescuers live ready to respond at a moment’s notice, it’s those already in the wild who are likely to be the first responders to a call for help.

Toor has a long list of people he wants to thank.

Like Jennifer Perlow and Chris Stevens, the campers who gave up their tent and sleeping bag and tended to Colvin before rescuers arrived at Odessa Lake. And the campers who found Colvin near the lake and guided her to the campsite. And Feduschak and Gaines. Toor said he’s shared the story with friends and colleagues about the “calm competence” of his rescuers and “it turns out everybody knows Markian and they all have tremendous respect for him.”

“This sort of restores your faith in people, just seeing everybody pitch in in every way they could,” Toor said.

“It’s kind of amazing when you think about it.”

community, and it truly is a pleasure.”

Denver Film is a nonprofit organization that got its start in 1978. It is known for its unique programming such as the award-winning Denver Film Festival and the Film on the Rocks series. The Sie FilmCenter is the arthouse theater and permanent home of Denver Film.

“As Colorado’s only nonprofit film organization, we are individuals who curate these films personally — not by robot and not by committee like the corporate chains trying to get your attention — to give you a great film experience, not to just grab your dough,” said Keith Garcia, artistic director for the Sie FilmCenter.

The Sie FilmCenter specializes in showing new, independent films and beloved retro films. For the former, these are often films people can’t see elsewhere. The latter provides people with the opportunity to see a film that is perhaps nostalgic, or

July 28, 2022 perhaps it was released before they were born so they didn’t have the chance to see it on the big screen, Holmes said.

“It’s really the trust that we build with our audience,” Garcia said.

“Sometimes we’ll have a soldout show of a great classic that only one-third of the crowd had seen (before), but they know we won’t steer them wrong or waste their time. We take them someplace new, and sometimes, we take them where they want to go. It’s a great relationship.”

Holmes believes it’s also the members that make Denver Film and the Sie FilmCenter so special.

“Our members are so passionate about film and add so much value to this organization,” Holmes said.

“They are our most loyal patrons, and even though they are small transactions, their ticket purchases go a long way in supporting us.”

Denver Film has about 1,200 current active members, but that number does not include people whose membership expired during the pandemic and have not yet renewed, Holmes said.

“We are hoping to re-engage with

that subset because we would love to see them back at the Sie FilmCenter,” Holmes said.

That’s one reason that Michael Nordine, who first became a member in 2019, recently renewed a membership.

“I’m originally from Los Angeles, which has a vibrant film community, so when I moved to Denver, I hoped to replicate that experience as closely as possible,” Nordine said.

“Denver Film is the heart and soul of the city’s movie culture, and I wanted to be part of it.”

Likewise, Gennaro Leo became a member earlier this year with the thought that it is a great way to meet new people who also have a passion for film.

“It’s very difficult in life to find passionate fans of film, especially not knowing anyone in a new town.

So to have stumbled upon Denver Film and the community, I am very, very grateful,” Leo said. “If you are looking to be part of a film community in Denver — one that embraces all forms of creativity and creators — the Sie FilmCenter is the place to dedicate your time and energy.”

Members get a lot of perks —

discounted movie tickets, concessions and festival passes; member e-newsletter; exclusive free member screenings outside of scheduled programming; and much more — but Holmes says that members enjoy the sense of belonging the most.

“It’s a tightknit group,” she said.

Members “are part of a group of people who are just as passionate about film as they are.”

Holmes added that it’s not uncommon for members to know the Sie FilmCenter’s bartenders and the people working the box office by name — and vice versa.

Additionally, the Sie FilmCenter is part of a cultural complex right off Colfax where one can experience literature, music and movies all in a single hub — Twist & Shout Records and the Tattered Cover Book Store, both being local-toColorado businesses, are just steps away from the Sie FilmCenter.

“People enjoy the sense of community when they step through the doors,” she said of the Sie FilmCenter. “And there’s something about that exclusive feeling from getting to spend time in a place that’s a hidden gem.”

next month’s programming, events, promotions, etc.

• Access to exclusive, free members-only screenings of films outside of the scheduled theatrical programming.

• Early bird ticket reservations and discounted tickets to the annual Denver Film Festival. Additionally, members get early admittance to Denver Film Festival screenings,

verification process is completed later this summer, she said.

On Jan. 24, teams spread out across the region to count people living in shelters and outdoors.

Leaders in the metro area did not conduct a count of people living outside in 2021 because of COVID-19 concerns.

The number of people living in shelters remained fairly consistent between 2020 and 2022, at 4,534 in 2020 and 4,815 in 2022, a 6% increase.

The number of people considered “unsheltered” also increased regionally. This year 2,073 people were sleeping outdoors, up from 1,561 in 2020, a 32.8% increase.

“The Point-in-Time is a snapshot of homelessness on a single night with numerous variables such as weather, count participation, volunteer engagement and a variety of other factors,” Rife said. “While this count can help us understand home-

lessness on a single night, getting to a place where we have comprehensive, real-time data regionally is the ultimate goal.”

The metro Denver region has made significant strides in decreasing its reliance on the one-night count, Rife said in a public statement. Instead, human service

providers and municipal leaders are working to improve participation with the region’s Homeless Management Information System to make daily homelessness data more accessible.

Outreach teams across the sevencounty metro Denver area increasingly used the information system

face painting, arts and crafts, popcorn and snow cones, chalk artists, an alpaca petting zoo and minihorses, appearances by mascots of Colorado’s pro sports teams, Tahitian dance performances, bullwhip cracking and trick roping demonstrations, and musical guests including taiko drummers, Flint Datino and Brothers of Brass.

History Colorado is a nonprofit that got its start 143 years ago. Today, it operates 11 museums and historic

sites throughout the state, a free public research center, the Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation and the History Colorado State Historical Fund. To learn more about History Colorado, visit historycolorado.org.

Parking for the History Colorado Center is available at meters along Broadway, and in the Art Garage, 1268 Lincoln St.; and the Cultural Center Complex Garage, 65 W. 12th Ave. Several RTD transit routes also

in 2022 to gain a more accurate realtime understanding of those living outdoors. The system also helped outreach teams better connect clients to human services and housing, Rife said.

While teams across the metro Denver area were able to locate and count 6,888 people on that single night this year in late January, the information system allowed them to estimate that the number of unhoused people is close to 31,000 throughout the course of the year, Rife said.

“This data highlights the dynamic nature of homelessness and the importance of real-time data to allow the region to coordinate effectively and allocate resources efficiently,” she said.

No such thing as ‘The Media’

I

borrowed this week’s title from a long-ago colleague. Many years ago, he tried to stress the point that people referring to “The Media” is not quite accurate. Today, that statement is truer than ever.

In reading articles and information about our industry, we often hear “The Media,” especially when we are being put down for the state and attitude of the nation.

Here’s where I am going with this — There is no FROM THE such thing as “The Media” because an organization like Colorado Community Media and a CNN, EDITOR FOX News or New York Times are not alike at all.

Television, radio, major news stations and major newspapers are not all made of the same cloth.

Mainstream media and the small-town newspaper, which I will argue are more valuable today than ever, are nothing alike and the reporters doing the work are completely different.

Over the last week, I read an interesting article where a journalist even says she is sick of the Thelma Grimes news and listened to a radio show that talked about just how tired of news the average American is. I have to say, I agree. Over the last few years, my news consumption has decreased tremendously. I rarely go near television news at all anymore.

Here’s where the discussion gets interesting. Some who are talking about this topic are saying it happened during the pandemic when Americans just got tired of all of it. On a local radio show, the host recently talked about what happened to “The Media” when Donald Trump was elected president. Was it the pandemic or Donald Trump?

I think the reasoning in both cases have valid points. I think Bill Maher said it best about the pandemic when he said at some point media coverage on COVID became more about “scaring the sh#$ out of people” over informing and reporting. There is some truth to that.

Instead of reading and listening to commentary about the pandemic, I paid attention to local information and turned to the well-done data chart NPR created that just showed numbers on how each state was doing.

Then, we have the Donald Trump effect. The former president did the media and nation no favors. The media became like a dog with a bone, covering every aspect of Trump’s unconventional way of leading this nation. Agree with the former president or not, I would argue with anyone telling me the media did a great job during his four years in office.

Look at the Hunter Biden situation, I have a hard time believing that mainstream media would have ignored this story as much as they have if the name behind the investigation was Trump Jr. The problem with the pandemic and Trump’s presidency is the distrust in the media has grown, the divide in this country is huge and the impact is felt on media companies like CCM, where we are more worried about what your local city council and school board is doing than we are about whatever Biden’s press secretary said today.

As distrust mounts and we are blamed for “The Media,” newspapers nationwide are closing and creating what is being referred to as “news deserts.”

CNN and Fox News will weather the storm, speaking to their respective audiences who tune in to hear what they want to hear.

However, once the local, community newspaper is no longer available, learning what local council members are doing, where your local tax dollars are going and why in the world the lanes are closed for construction again on Broadway — will no longer be available to you.

Bottom line, don’t lump your local, community newspaper in with your disdain for “The Media.” Instead, we ask that you support us as we continue to build and grow to serve 24 communities along the Front Range.

any people have a fascination with lighthouses, for some of us, it is even an obsession.

Over the years I have visited many lighthouses myself and also have a small collection of miniature lighthouses to remind me of a few of my favorites that I had a chance to see and climb. We are attracted to lighthouses for our own reasons, some love the dramatic coastline where the lighthouse is situated, and others enjoy visiting because it speaks to them of a time gone by while connecting them with their own past.

For many families, the lighthouse is a tradition as they plan vacations to the shores and lighthouses they have yet to see. They are really extraordinary structures with amazing stories of how each came to be. The earliest known lighthouse was Egypt’s Pharos of Alexandria built in 280 BC, with a huge open fire at the top and stood 450 feet tall.

When I think about the history, nostalgia, and individual meaning and significance that the lighthouse holds, I am reminded of their primary purpose. The lighthouse was designed and built to keep ships from becoming beached in the shallow waters or crashing into the rocky coasts. Instead, ships avoided being shipwrecked and were guided safely into the harbor.

They were invented to light the way for ships at sea.

We may not be at sea, but we could still be adrift. As we consider what we use in our own life to light the way, many of us are grounded in our values and beliefs and we use those to guide our steps and decision making. Others find something that is their North Star, something whether a virtue or value, that they follow in good times and when times get tough, keeping them

on the right path. And then there are those who rely on their principles and strong moral compass. And yet for others, they struggle because they have yet to connect with their values, beliefs, virtues, their North Star, or moral compass. They struggle because they Michael Norton have yet to find what lights their way.

As we worked on developing a new leadership program, one of our consultants, Bryan Price, Ph.D., shared a concept that I had heard before, but hardly ever thought about again until now.

The concept is this, it’s about someone holding a candle, and how they can in turn light the candles of others around them. And then those people could continue to light the candles of even more people. As we thought about leadership, it would take a long time for a leader to visit each and every person in their company or on their team to inspire them or individually show them the way, but if they lit the way for a few, those few can then go and replicate the same effect throughout the organization or team.

If you have ever been to any candlelight service or vigil, you may have been the first one to light the candle and then pass the flame along to others. Or, someone may have lit your candle first, and then you shared the flame and light with others. Before we know it, the entire room, area, or church is completely lit up because we all shared the light with the person next to us.

Nearly 500,000 people have signed up for Medicaid since 2020 What happens when the emergency order ends?

BY JENNIFER BROWN THE COLORADO SUN

In normal times, about 35,000 people drop off the government health insurance plan for the needy each month, usually because someone in their household got a new job and they no longer qualify.

But since the coronavirus pandemic, and a federal public health emergency declaration more than two years ago, no one has lost their Medicaid benefits.

Colorado has added nearly 500,000 people to its Medicaid rolls since early 2020, an increase of 32%.

The latest extension of the federal order — which says that states can cut no one off the Medicaid rolls during the global crisis, whether they are eligible or not — is set to expire Oct. 13. Another 90-day extension is likely, considering there’s an election in November and coronavirus numbers have typically surged in the fall, but states are gearing up now to avoid surprise losses of health insurance for hundreds of thousands of people.

“None of this is supposed to be a surprise,” said Ralph Choate, chief operating officer for the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, which includes the Medicaid division. “There are no gotchas in here. These are people’s lives and their health care.”

The department, in its annual stakeholder meeting Tuesday, outlined a plan to make sure anyone who is still eligible for Medicaid doesn’t get kicked off the program when the public health emergency expires. And state officials estimate there are 455,593 people enrolled in Medicaid who likely would not meet eligibility requirements today, though many of them will likely qualify for some other form of benefits such as the state’s child health plan.

The crux of the plan is a communication blast — planned for late summer and fall — asking the 1.65 million people on Medicaid in Colorado to make sure the program has their current contact information.

“I hope we go through this whole thing and never have somebody that goes, ‘Wait, wait, but I should have responded,’” Choate said. “I’m so hoping we don’t have that.”

Everyone on Medicaid is required to fill out paperwork each year before their coverage anniversary date, information used to determine whether they are eligible for another year. Colorado has been asking people to file the income and health information throughout the pandemic, even though no one will lose coverage.

People who didn’t have a job in 2020 and qualified for Medicaid, but now have a job and no longer qualify, receive notice after the annual

Medicaid enrollment continues to increase in Colorado.

review that they are only receiving benefits because of the public health emergency. So, state officials say, no one should be caught off guard. The problem is, about 25%30% of people neglected to participate in their annual revalidation process, either because they never got around to it or perhaps because they feared they could lose coverage once they reported a change in income.

The federal government has promised a 60-day notice of when the public health emergency will expire.

Once it does, Colorado Medicaid officials face a 14-month process of notifying every participant 60 days ahead of their re-enrollment date that this time, they must show they are eligible or potentially lose coverage.

While the department is estimating that more than 455,000 might no longer be eligible, an exact number is difficult to determine.

Part of the reason is because of Colorado’s high number of seasonal workers, especially those in the skiing, rafting and tourism industry.

“There are a lot of folks here in Colorado, they have a job, don’t have a job, have a job, don’t have a job,” Choate said. “They’ve been going back and forth, in some cases for years,” on Medicaid eligibility.

The goal is to keep people on Medicaid if they qualify, and to offer reduced benefits to others if they fit the criteria. For example, Colorado recently passed a law that says people are eligible for Medicaid for a full year following a pregnancy, instead of the prior timeline of three months. Those who do not qualify for any benefits will get linked to Connect for Health Colorado, where they can purchase health insurance through the state marketplace.

The annual income limit for a family of four to qualify for Medicaid is about $35,000, while the income limit is $69,000 to qualify

for the state’s child health plan.

Colorado is in better shape than some states that did not go through the annual revalidation process during the pandemic, state officials said.

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing’s government-funded insurance pro-

grams, including Medicaid, Child Health Plan Plus and an indigentcare program, cover about one in four state residents.

The $14.2 billion program also boasts that it has increased the number of medical and mental health providers who accept Medicaid clients, now totaling 95,000.

Among those, more than 10,000 are mental health and substance abuse counselors, about 1,100 of which began accepting Medicaid in the last year, according to the department.

Two-thirds of all telehealth appointments covered by Medicaid are behavioral health appointments, officials said.

Medicaid officials said they now have new systems in place to manage enrollment policies during public health emergencies.

“I think we have to operate under the assumption that there is going to be a next time,” Choate said.

LIFE

BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

S

tephanie Wells and Donna Mills grew up during a time when women could not be pilots, but the two Denver women did not give up on their dreams and eventually earned their wings.

Miller, a first officer, flies the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for American Airlines, and Wells is retired after an illustrious career that included flying for NASA and working for the Federal Aviation Administration.

Defying gender barriers Miller grew up in Golden. Her father was a Colorado School of Mines professor and an aviator.

“He was a back seater in the F-4 in the Navy and went to top gun,” Miller said. “He was my inspiration growing up.”

Miller attended Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, which had an aviation program but only for men. So, she majored in business administration, economics and international management. She spent her last semester of college overseas and was accepted to the American College in Paris. She ended up living abroad for eight years.

Miller moved to South Korea for two years and worked as an Air Force civilian, where she got her pilot’s license in 1988 at age 27.

She then moved to Frankfurt, Germany, where she took a job as an administrative assistant for a computer company from 1989 to 1990, when the Berlin Wall fell.

“I was 27 and considered military, but the age cutoff was 27 in half, and at that time, the military didn’t need pilots,” Miller said.

Miller returned to Denver in late 1990 and started working at Jeppesen, coding the database for airline onboard computers.

While there, Miller met Capt. Elrey B. Jeppesen, after whom the Jeppesen Terminal at Denver International Airport was named. She said Orville Wright signed Jeppesen’s pilot’s license, and he gave her a piece of fabric from the Wright brothers’ first aircraft.

“I helped Jeppesen catalog all of his memorabilia, which is in a display case at Denver International Airport,” Miller said.

Miller left Jeppesen to work for the United Airlines Training Center in 1995.

It was another desk job, but it put her in right place at the right time.

While Miller was working at the training center, Capt.Ted Stiles, who was on United’s hiring committee, came into her office.

“He said, ‘Donna, you can’t steal second with your foot on first,’” Miller said. “I said, ‘excuse me.’ He said, ‘if you ever wanted to be a pilot, you have to leave your cushy little desk job and go out and fly — get the experience you need and then you can return to the airlines.”

Miller started a file called “stealing second” that day and contacted every single flight operator she knew.

“I probably didn’t even have 500 hours at the time, which is really low time, but I had all of my ratings,” she said.

Miller got her first pilot’s job in 1998 flying car parts to Mexico from El Paso, Texas.

“It was low paying,” she said. “We loaded and unloaded our own airplanes. It was tough duty.”

She also flew skydivers without pay, but she could jump for free. In 1999, she was hired as a first officer and a captain with Air Midwest. She flew regional turboprop jets out of Florida for over two years.

She applied at United, Delta and American, and finally, in June 2001, she was hired by American.

Miller logged her first passenger flight to Chicago on Sept. 10, 2001, the day before 9/11, and on Oct. 1, she was furloughed.

During the furlough, which ultimately lasted 11 years, Miller found other flying jobs, which were low paying but helped her stay current and qualified.

In 2013, Miller resumed flights with American Airlines based in Chicago.

She lives in Denver but commutes elsewhere to fly the 787 Dreamliner. She also runs marathons and so far has completed 32.

Airline pilots have to retire at age 65; Miller is 61.

“I’m not sure yet where I want to retire — maybe Portugal and spend more time in Europe,” Miller said. “But I want to keep my hands in aviation because I love flying. It will always be a part of my life.”

A life-long passion Wells was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and grew up in Washington, D.C. She took her first flight at age 15 and immediately fell in love with aviation.

“I was picked up and carried away by it, but I couldn’t afford it,” Wells said. “It was just so far out of reach; it might have been impossible.”

Wells graduated with a bachelor of science degree in meteorology from Iowa State University in 1975, and while in college, she started working toward obtaining her private pilot’s license.

After graduation, she SEE WINGS, P11

space program and to help train astronauts.

Wells decided she wanted to be close to her family in Colorado, so she left NASA and went to work for the Federal Aviation Administration in 2003 as a safety inspector at the Denver Flight Standards Office at Denver International Airport.

“I was an instructor pilot for the FAA, and I also had many (other) tasks, including overseeing air charter companies, flight schools, agriculture operators, external load helicopters, monitoring air shows, doing accident investigation,” Wells said.

Wells retired from the FAA in 2010 and was off to her next adventure, flying part-time for Mountain Aviation in Broomfield and instructing pilots on the King Air. She also worked for Rocky Mountain Aerial surveys flying the Cessna 206 doing surveys with a LIDAR camera that produces 3-D mapping.

“They had special instruments mapping the folds and valleys of the terrain in extreme detail,” Wells said.

“It’s used for different things — mapping a golf course or building a road through a canyon.”

She is now a volunteer pilot for Light Hawk and also enjoys skiing, hiking and international travel.

joined the Air Force, and her first assignment was as a weather forecaster.

“It was very cool to work as a forecaster, but my dream was always to be a pilot,” Wells said.

She said the Air Force announced it would start training women as pilots within a year of her joining.

“So, I was in the right place at the right time,” Wells said.

Wells began pilot training in 1978 and, after graduation, was assigned as an instructor pilot for the Cessna T-37 trainer. She later served as an instructor for the WC-130 “typhoon chaser” aircraft and the supersonic T-38 Talon.

She got the opportunity to train her peers to pilot these planes but becoming a fighter pilot was still out of reach for women at that time.

“I couldn’t get it, but that was OK,” Wells said. “I was so happy just to be the pilot for the Air Force.”

Wells was on active duty for the Air Force from 1975 to 1985 and then transferred from active duty to the Air Force Reserves.

“I flew more than 10 years in San Antonio, flying the C-5 galaxy military transport,” Wells said.

As a part-time reservist, she could pursue a civilian career, and her dream job was to fly for NASA. In 1986, she was hired by NASA, and her first assignment was as a zero-gravity test director. She eventually advanced to piloting the KC-135 Stratotanker Zero-G, “vomit comet,” aircraft.

She also served as chief of training and aviation safety officer at NASA, and she earned her master’s of science degree in aeronautical science from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University by attending classes in the evenings.

“I was also pilot on a couple of other airplanes, including the administrative airplane Gulfstream 1 to transport the bosses, and then, I got to fly the Gulfstream 2, which is a special simulator to train the astronauts,” Wells said.

Wells said there were about 20 staff pilots and approximately 140 astronauts at NASA. The pilots’ mission was mainly to support the manned

Popongo and Denver Broncos partner up STAFF REPORT

The local creators of the Popongo game and the Denver Broncos have entered into a multi-year partnership.

Popongo is a family-friendly game that requires players to toss foam golf balls into cups on a raised platform for points. Jamaican-born Denver resident Errol Anderson, who serves as the company’s CEO, created the game during the early stages of the COVID-19 shutdowns.

It launched in December 2020. Each Popongo game board is one-of-akind, handcrafted in the Popongo facility in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood.

NORTON FROM PAGE 8

Now, just imagine it isn’t a lighthouse showing some captain the way around the rocks, or a candlelight service

in church or candlelight vigil being held outside somewhere.

Imagine that the light is each one of us, and that we have the ability to light the way for others. And what if we just lit a couple candles each day for those around us? The compounding impact of this would be

Through the partnership, the Popongo and the Denver Broncos entertainment teams will offer interactive gaming areas for fans to play Popongo during the Broncos’ 2022 Training Camp and in the VIP tailgating areas at every home game.

Additionally, fans can order a Broncos edition Popongo board, which features orange and blue cups and balls.

“The fact that one of the most well-known organizations in the world has chosen to work with our team not only speaks volumes about us as a company, but also what Popongo represents to the community,” Anderson said in a news release.

“With the help of the Broncos, we plan on furthering our mission to get more Popongo boards into more elementary schools to help math classes for young students be more fun and engaging.”

tremendously amazing.

How about you? Has someone lit the way for you? Have you tried and maybe even enjoyed lighting the way for others? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@xinnix.com, and when we can be a living, breathing lighthouse for others, we really

can make it a better than good life.

Michael Norton is the grateful president of XINNIX, a personal and professional coach, and a consultant, trainer, encourager and motivator to businesses of all sizes.
