‘When I think of Kendrick, I think of love’ Thousands honor Kendrick Castillo at a community celebration of life service

BY ALEX DEWIND ADEWIND@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

L

ive like Kendrick Castillo. Be brave. Be industrious. Have integrity. Show love.

That was the overarching message at a May 15 celebration of life service at Cherry Hills Community Church. More than 3,500 people gathered at the church to honor Castillo, the sole fatality in the May 7 school shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch that left eight other students injured. Less than two weeks away from graduating, the 18-year-old charged one of the two suspects to save other students.

The crowd — a mix of STEM students and families, law enforcement, politicians, Douglas County School District leaders and local residents — filled the sanctuary of the Highlands Ranch church to celebrate Castillo, a young man who, by most accounts, lived and learned more in his 18 years than most do in a lifetime.

“Kendrick just seemed to be happiest when he was serving others, but he did this humbly,” Charlene Molis, Kendrick’s principal at Notre Dame School from kindergarten through eighth grade, said to the crowd. “We are all better people for having known Kendrick, and now he is our guardian angel.”

A group of young men, friends of Kendrick, carried a gray casket, adorned with bouqets of bright yellow roses down an aisle to the front of the sanctuary. On the stage were a kayak, black and red dress jackets hanging from the ceiling and an elaborate robot, all pieces of Castillo’s life. He wore the red jacket when he ushered

at his church. He was on two robotics teams at STEM. And he loved to adventure outdoors.

Friends, family and teachers who spoke at the service painted a picture of Castillo and the impact he had on others.

Molis remembers Kendrick’s first day of kindergarten. He saw a kid crying across the room, so he walked over, put his arm around the child and told him it was going to be OK. He gave 110 percent in everything, Molis said. When he dressed up as a cowboy, he was the best-dressed cowboy in the room.

“When he went to Mass, he wore his signature, three-piece suit,” Molis said. Guests in the audience chuckled.

Castillo was a friend to many.

SeaQuest wildlife license suspended after repeated violations State investigation finds numerous unreported bites, burns at aquarium and zoo

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

SeaQuest Littleton must remove hundreds of animals after state officials issued a two-year license suspension, according to a ruling from the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife.

Inspectors found the aquarium and zoo housed in Southwest Plaza Mall exhibited a “negligent and intentional disregard for human safety and for wildlife,” according to the ruling.

Staff failed to report numerous injuries to visitors and animals, according to a CPW investigation, and repeatedly failed to comply with orders from inspectors to improve conditions.

The facility will be required to remove roughly two dozen species of fish, birds and mammals that fall under CPW’s definition of wildlife, totaling roughly 200 animals, said agency spokesman Jason Clay.

“We care about the care of the animals,” Clay said. “It’s one of our missions to ensure the protection of our natural resources, including

wildlife, and the safety of the public around animals.”

The ruling, issued on April 1, gives SeaQuest 60 days to remove animals that fall under the facility’s state zoological license.

The affected animals have already been sent to SeaQuest’s other locations in other states, said Elsa MacDonald, SeaQuest’s vice president of marketing.

SeaQuest Littleton plans to stay open, MacDonald said, and has already replaced the removed animals with others that don’t fall under the CPW licensing umbrella.

“We’re making changes to ensure a happy, fun experience,” MacDonald said.

CPW inspectors have not yet confirmed that the animals have been removed, Clay said.

CPW’s concerns with SeaQuest Littleton date back to the facility’s opening in spring 2018, according to the department’s ruling.

A SeaQuest representative called CPW in January 2018 to inform the agency of their planned opening, and was told that obtaining a license for such a facility could take months and required proof that the animals would be properly cared for.

No license was issued, but two months later, CPW personnel learned the facility was opening from a news article.

The facility was exhibiting hundreds of exotic species, investigators found.

Management also did not inform Jefferson County officials that the facility would house numerous animals that would interact with visitors.

One manager was found to be keeping a two-toed sloth and two capybaras in her house, and later moved the animals to SeaQuest in violation of a state order.

The facility was issued a cease and desist order by the Colorado Department of Agriculture for numerous violations including exhibiting birds in overcrowded cages in July 2018, according to the ruling, but SeaQuest staff did not inform the CPW of the order as required by law.

Staff also failed to report the death of an Australian kookaburra bird in August 2018, according to the ruling.

In September 2018, a newly hired manager informed CPW that he found numerous unreported injuries to visitors in company files, including animal bites.

Staff also failed to report a sloth that burned itself on a heat lamp in October 2018, investigators found.

They also failed to report when the sloth burned itself more severely on the same heat lamp weeks later.

Upon learning of the injuries, “SeaQuest staff misled investigators in reporting that a veterinarian had been consulted, with turned out to be

false,” the ruling found.

The sloth has since been moved to SeaQuest’s newly-opened Minnesota location, MacDonald said.

“Slash is doing awesome, and doing a great job of interacting with customers,” MacDonald said of the sloth.

MacDonald chalked up the issues to misunderstanding of state rules and regulations.

“In terms of those incidents and injuries, when you consider the hundreds of thousands of people who flow through the facility, a lot of those were relatively minor,” MacDonald said. “Everything is treated equally and everything is reported.”

SeaQuest Littleton is one of seven SeaQuest locations nationwide, according to the company’s website.

Three more locations are slated to open in coming months.

The chain’s other locations have drawn numerous violations and public protests, according to news reports.

SeaQuest offers guests the chance to get up close and personal with a variety of animals, according to its website. Guests can snorkel in a large pool with stingrays, for example, or feed a variety of animals.

MacDonald said the facility is going strong.

“There are still many animals for guests to interact with,” MacDonald said.

Mayoral election will be referendum on recent years Hancock, Giellis vie for post at top of city marked by surge of growth

BY DAVID SACHS DENVERITE.COM

Mayor Michael Hancock and Jamie Giellis held back-to-back rallies May 14 to tout their endorsements and frame the coming days of their campaigns to become Denver’s next mayor.

Both candidates made clear that the head-to-head runoff to lead Denver will be a lightning round — on one side, an experienced city executive bent on continuing down the city’s current road, and on the other, a hopeful change agent looking to steer in another direction.

“We have to be willing to listen, to open our minds, to engage, and not just pay lip service like this administration has done,” Giellis said on the steps of the City and County Building where Hancock works. She was referring to a growth strategy that she sees as developer-first, resident-last.

At Civic Center Park, former mayor, governor and current presidential hopeful John Hickenlooper endorsed Hancock along with former mayor Wellington Webb. Both cited his roots in the city, his eight years of experience managing 11,000 work-

I

ers, and Denver’s healthy job market and potent economy. (Both have also endorsed him before.)

“You have two choices in an economy because nothing stays the same. You’re either growing or you’re shrinking,” Hickenlooper said. “When growth starts going too fast, you fall a little behind.

But it’s better than the alternative, where suddenly you’re shrinking.”

Hancock missed out on 61% of the vote in the general election, theoretically leaving the door open for Giellis.

But Hancock made clear that he sees the runoff as a clean slate — one that may favor incumbents.

“This is a new election,” Hancock said. “It gives me a chance to clarify what the people of Denver didn’t see.

We also get a chance to reach those people who are new to Denver and don’t truly understand where we come from or where we’re going.” `Team of rivals’ Meanwhile, Giellis gained praise from Lisa Calderón and Penfield Tate, her former opponents whom she now welcomes as “a team of rivals.”

“This convening today is not about supporting an individual,” Calderón told the crowd. “It’s not about Jamie or me or Penfield. It is about what is in the best interest of Denver.”

Both former rivals are now acting as surrogates for Giellis, and some of their campaign volunteers have switched teams as well. Giellis hopes

Easy Qualify Mortgages for Seniors on Fixed Income

s your mortgage payment “strangling” you? Are you worried about which bills to pay on your fixed income? Is there no joy in the Golden years because your budget is so tight? A reverse mortgage may be the answer you have been seeking.

A government insured loan product that allows you to pay off your current mortgage thereby eliminating your monthly mortgage payment can provide the budget breathing-room you need.

Taxes and homeowner’s insurance must still be paid, but many seniors have found that not only can they eliminate their mortgage payment, they can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even if you don’t have a mortgage, you may be “house rich and cash poor.” You have paid into your home for many years and have accumulated housing wealth that can only be accessed if you sell. But now a reverse mortgage will allow you to access the equity in your home while you continue to own the home so you can get

m

e

cash and make life a little easier.

Get the correct facts. There is a lot of wrong information floating around about reverse mortgages. With a reverse mortgage, no one owns the home but you, and no debt is passed on to your heirs. You will still have substantial equity in your home, and can sell at any time.

Call your local Reverse Mortgage Specialist for more information on your situation and to see if this program will benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options, with accurate facts.

KENDRICK FROM PAGE 1

He met Jordon Monk in an engineering class. The two had a lot in common — detailing cars, tinkering with electronics, the movie “Wayne’s World,” the song “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

“No matter how silly or crazy we looked, we didn’t care — because we had the time of our lives doing it,” Monk said.

Two pastors and a reverend, who each represented a different church in the Denver metro area, encouraged hope, love and healing in the community. A member of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal service organization to which Castillo belonged, along with a few of Castillo’s teachers, reflected on the difference Castillo made in the world.

Mike Shallenberger, Castillo’s engineering teacher for four years, laid over Castillo’s casket an honor cord for his involvement in STEM’s Technology Student Association.

“When I think of Kendrick,” Shallenberger said, “I think of love.”

In his father’s eyes, Castillo was a “gift” and a

to sit down with them and figure it out.”

John emphasized the importance of making time for one another, of being present. He wants to do just that for the friends Kendrick left behind. His door is open, he said. He’s a phone call away.

He wants to hear the stories of his son.

“Love is simple,” John said. “I didn’t teach him that, he taught me.”

Dorothy Parker wrote, “Brevity is the soul of

lingerie.”

Now, on the same QUIET footpath as the DESPERATION 17-syllable haiku contest comes this: a six-word story contest.

Your due date is 11:59 p.m. June 14.

One entry per author, please. Try not to plagiarize.

There are no prizes, but I will site Craig Marshall salient examples.

Smith Please include your name and city.

This is an unoriginal contest: There have been others, partially stemming from the myth of the first six-word story, allegedly written by Ernest Hemingway.

One version is Hemingway won a $10 bet by writing this complete story

in six words.

“For sale: baby shoes. Never worn.”

The website Open Culture states, “The extreme terseness in this elliptical tragedy has made it a favorite example of writing teachers over the past several decades, a display of the power of literary compression, in which, writes a querent to the site Quote Investigator, `the reader must cooperate in the construction of the larger narrative that is obliquely limned by these words.’”

(A “querent” is “one who seeks.”)

Hemingway may have won a bet with that composition, but it appears he swiped the idea.

In 1906, when Hemingway was 7, in a newspaper classified section called “Terse Tales of the Town,” a similar sounding item appeared: “For sale, baby carriage, never been used. Apply at the office.”

The first time I read Hemingway’s six words, I might have said, “How sad.”

But then my sense of interpretation kicked in.

Maybe the shoes were too small,

and nothing else. Or maybe the kid was born with two left feet. Or someone who was faking a pregnancy and went as far as buying clothing for a baby, and painting a spare bedroom with clouds and clowns, got psychiatric help, and backed her way out of the deception, and ultimately placed an ad for baby shoes that had never been worn. Simple as that.

One way or another, it is evocative.

Do a search for “Six-word story contests,” and you will find pages of guidelines and examples, although the only true guidelines needed are: be original, and stick with six words.

I think the best six-word story is only three words long.

“Less is more.”

An entire symposium could be based on it. It’s credited to architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohr, who adopted it from a Robert Browning poem.

Others have amended it.

“Less is a bore,” and “Less is less,” and “More is more.”

If you are wondering about “More

is more,” among the longest English sentences is Molly Bloom’s soliloquy in James Joyce’s “Ulysses.” It is 3,687 words long, or seven times the length of this column.

Annually, I try to read “Ulysses,” but invariably quit after the first page.

“For sale: `Ulysses.’ Never been read.”

In addition to six-word stories, there are six-word memoirs. There’s a book of them edited by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser.

“Her dreams kept her reality warm.”

“Please do not sit on me.”

“Maybe art school was a mistake.”

That last one? Hits home, Craig?

Not at all. Art’s an antidote.

Have some fun with the contest.

Say something in six, send along.

“Sorry, soldier, shoes sold in pairs.”

Number three success blocker is empty gratitude bucket

O

ver the past two weeks we covered the contributing factors of complacency and lack of authenticity and the impact of both as we pursue our success. Today we will touch on the role and the power of gratitude and appre- WINNING ciation in relation to WORDS our success.

Consistent with the spirit of gratitude and appreciation, I would like to thank our community for all the emails that I received and our communications regarding the first two topics. Many of you Michael Norton used the complacency column as a trigger to take action, and many more were brave enough to share where you are on the authenticity scale, recognizing a need for change. Authentically genuine, and I sincerely appreciate hearing all your life stories as we exchange emails.

One of the topics I deal with when

DENVER Since 1926

speaking with individuals and companies is time management. When this subject comes up, I usually start with a question, “What are you trying to make time for?” Typically, the response comes after a long pause, “Well, everything,” they say. After digging deeper and forcing them to become very specific relative to what they are trying to make time for, we almost always get to a point of self-awareness. They realize it’s not so much time management, it’s what they are willing to make room for in their life or in their business.

Where does gratitude and appreciation fit into this? Everywhere.

Most of us are willing to overcommit, double book ourselves and our time, and make room for things that are important to us, that benefit us in some way, and maybe even make room for things and activities that don’t involve those closest to us. And what happens here is that this pressure builds up as we are spread too thin, we try and meet too many demands, and we become our own worst enemies.

we are overcommitted and double booked, and we are feeling pressure and stress, we can still make room for gratitude and appreciation. When it comes to time, let me ask you, how long does it take to say, “Thank you”?

How many seconds does it take to tell someone, “You rock!” Does it take more than 30 seconds of time to write an email to someone or the team saying, “Great work, the team crushed it.” How long does it take to walk around to the other side of the car and open the car door for our spouse?

How many clicks does it take to order and send a thank you gift online? How many seconds does it take to leave a note of hope and encouragement for a friend or family member? Can we send a text that says thank you, I love you, I appreciate you in less than 10 seconds?

It has been said that gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The challenge or problem is that we are running and gunning so hard as we pursue greatness or chase down our goals, our quotas, our objectives, our hobbies, and everything else that we have left our gratitude bucket empty.

We have forgotten those who have lifted us up when we needed it. We have stopped appreciating the little things that people have done for us for many years. We begin to think that everything we have and everything we have accomplished, we achieved on our own.

So I ask you, what are you making room for in your life? What are you trying to make time for? If you will trust me on this, I can help you. Success, your success, can be built by replacing complacency with action, being the real authentic you, and by having a gratitude bucket that is overflowing.

Thank you all again for the emails and communications. I would love to hear your success story and how I can help at gotonorton@gmail.com.

And when we focus on these building blocks of success, it really will be a better than good week.

ELECTION FROM PAGE 3

She wants to temper Denver’s growth and development, she says, and would revise zoning processes to give residents more power.

“They’re gonna tackle us on development and malign me as some sort of developer that has changed the city in negative ways, when the reality is I have been working to push back against this administration’s development-at-all-costs mentality.”

When asked for an example, she said she fought for a zoning change that incentivized developers to build affordable housing. City Councilman Albus Brooks sponsored the law last year.

Giellis thinks Denver’s plan for the future allows too much density in neighborhoods that don’t want it.

Hancock wants to make new development more diffuse, so that more

h

.

neighborhoods help carry the load of change.

Hancock has committed to higher wages and, verbally, to more affordable housing to combat displacement. But he wants the city to continue its pace of growth — and to extend a philosophy that he carried on from his predecessors.

“Let’s let the man continue to cast,” said former Mayor Webb. “Let him play the whole game. All four quarters, three terms, 12 years and finish the job … The city’s been being built for future generations. The newcomers are running for the present, they’re running to overthrow what we’ve already done.”

As Giellis put it, “Buckle up. This is going to be a bumpy three weeks.”

Election Day is June 4.

LIFE

A celebration of

, connection and culture

Denver Pop Culture Con honors comic roots while appealing to all generations

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A

lot can change in eight years — something Littleton residents Kendra, Jason and Ash Alder can readily attest to when it comes to how Denver Pop Culture Con has evolved since its first iteration in 2012.

“When we first started going, it wasn’t nearly as big as it has become,” Kendra said. “When I was growing up, nerd culture was very taboo, but it’s done a complete 180. When I would mention a lot of this stuff, people had never heard of it. Now everyone knows.”

This year’s event returns to the Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St., from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday, June 2. And it looks to be the biggest yet, with more booths, artists, celebrities and cosplayers.

“The con was borne out of a passion for pop culture, and using pop culture as a tool to connect with reluctant readers,” convention director Christina Angel wrote in an email interview.

“The event grew exponentially in the early years, and expanded to include various fandoms and guest attractions and activities based on fan feedback.”

That growth is reflected in the event’s name, now Denver Pop Culture Con instead of Denver Comic Con. The newer name reflects a wider swath of mediums and influences than comics alone.

“Since inception, our event has been about inclusivity and bringing different fandoms together for a weekendlong celebration; comics culture has always been a key component but not the entire focus,” Angel wrote. “While it’s true that `comic con’ is often synonymous with pop culture conventions, we didn’t feel that it told the whole story.”

The worlds created in comics from Marvel, DC and countless other studios remain the wellspring for many films and television shows that have made nerd culture everyone’s culture — and the con is a great way to bridge the gap between these fans.

“At our store, that’s one of the things we talk about the most — how to connect people who see all the movies with the stories we have at our store,” said Jonthan Garnett, owner of Hall of Justice Comics and Collectibles in Parker, which has had a booth at the con for about the past five years. “If you’re a fan of something you’ve seen onscreen, there’s a good chance we

Shopping for issues missing from a collection is still one of the most common past times at Denver Comic Con. Mile High Comics offers shelves and shelves for readers to browse through. have something that will scratch that itch.”

Kendra and Jason, who used to own a comic book store, said the con works hard to balance a celebration of all mediums while acknowledging that comics are the source and are constantly evolving.

“They want all kinds of people to keep coming back, and that’s why they

do,” Kendra said. “You can do what you want, be free, and not be ashamed of what you like.”

Another way the con works to keep bringing people back is by fostering the next generation of nerds. The event is a program of the Pop Culture Classroom, a nonprofit focused on youth literacy, Angel said. The work the group does all year is supported

by the con. As for the actual event, all kinds of options exist beyond shopping and getting a photo with a favorite celebrity.

“Programming also includes exciting kid- and teen-focused activities and events in The Lab, which is a large space on the show floor dedicated to young folks,” Angel wrote. “The lab activities can include anything from learning to draw a famous character, to presentations and workshops, to finding out how to one day work for NASA or become an actor.”

For Garnett and many other attendees and exhibitors, the con is a chance for real connection with fans of all ages.

“We get to talk to consumers and fans, not just from the area, but all over the country,” he said.

Kendra said Ash particularly enjoys the con’s cosplaying aspect. But she loves immersing him in comic culture because of the positive way it affects him and other children.

“We take our niece as well, and their favorite part is taking pictures with as many cosplayers as possible,” she said. “I think it’s all a great influence on kids, and especially is great for reading. I always see it like going to Disneyland — you’re meeting the characters you’ve seen on the big screen, right there.”

Memorial honors victims of influenza pandemic Nearly 1,500 died in Denver as disease swept world STAFF REPORT

A memorial marker honoring the victims of the 1918-19 influenza pandemic will be unveiled at 10 a.m. June 8 at Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. The marker is a project of the Columbine Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Fairmount Heritage Foundation.

Blanche Kennedy, the first of nearly 1,500 Spanish influenza victims in Denver and nearly 7,800 across Colorado, was buried in September 1918 in a family plot in Block 39, Lot 6, according to a news release from the Columbine NSDAR chapter. After that, many victims

of the pandemic were laid to rest at Fairmount in individual gravesites, both with and without headstones, the release said.

The memorial marker was placed in Block 85 at Fairmount, which the sponsoring groups believe is the perfect place for the marker honoring those lost to the pandemic and buried at Fairmount, the release said.

The memorial garden in Block 85 has gazebos, benches, heritage rose bushes, and a quiet space to contemplate those buried in the cemetery’s 280-acre boundary since 1890, the date the cemetery was founded. The garden is directly adjacent to Block 84, where many victims of Spanish flu are buried in unmarked graves in Lots 3, 11 and 12. The last of these pandemic victims died in June 1919.

‘Anything is possible’ with a little magic Two Denver magicians create intimate shows in Uptown

IF YOU GO

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The Denver Magic Show happens on the first Thursday of the month in the El Dorado room at the Avenue Grill, 630 E. 17th Ave. Tickets are $45, and the shows are 90 minutes. The restaurant also offers free parking.

For more information, go to https://denvermagicshow.com.

onvincing an audience that stage magic is real takes more than knowing the steps to pull off a trick off. Denver magicians Gregg Tobo and William Rader say the performance is every bit as important.

“There’s a huge gap between just knowing the secret, and actually being able to entertain someone,” Tobo said.

“The purpose of magic is just to remind you that anything is possible.”

Much is similar about Tobo, 51, and Rader, 32, who started doing their own show in the El Dorado room of Avenue Grill, 630 E. 17th Ave., a few months ago. Both had uncles who were amateur magicians who inspired them to learn.

Both enjoy digging into the history of magic and performing. Tobo finds books from the 1920s and `30s about old tricks; Rader likes looking into older tricks to see the trends of magician performances at the time.

The two “split the difference,” as Tobo says, between the two types of magicians: those who love to create a secret trick, and those who love to perform.

Tobo and Rader enjoy mastering the nu-

Having these different skill sets allows them to change up the show, Rader said. That way, returning customers won’t be seeing the same show every time.

Their magic business is a fulltime proposition, Tobo and Rader say. They also perform at private events and have performed around the world.

Mastering a magic trick can be a long process.

Tobo spends a lot of time breaking down the trick to learn it. Then he’ll go to Rader or other magician friends and perform the trick to see their reaction. This part of the process allows magicians to gauge audience reaction.

Instead of emphasizing one section of a trick, magicians might notice that audiences actually react to a different part of it, Rader said. Then, Tobo takes his performance to a slightly larger audience by attending local open mic nights. After that, the trick is ready for prime time.

“You don’t really know until you do it,” Rader said. “You need the stage time to figure it out.”

ances of individual tricks. But they also enjoy seeing the wonder and reactions from a crowd as they perform.

“I think magic becomes an art when it’s performed,” Rader said. “You never really know if the magic is real.”

The two men started performing last June at Avenue Theater, also on East 17th Avenue in Denver. But after the theater closed in early March, Tobo and Rader decided to continue on their own.

Their Denver Magic Show happens on the first Thursday of every month at Avenue Grill. Their 90-minute shows are in a small and narrow room with two rows of chairs. They typically set

up between 30 and 35 chairs — they like the intimacy created by small settings.

And the smaller shows are a selling point, Tobo said. People can see the magic up close, the way it “ought to be seen.”

The two magicians have different styles and skills, Rader said.

Rader likes to play off the stereotypes of magic, updating old, “classic” tricks.

Tobo likes to find stories to accompany his magic tricks. He’s known for performances as the “Man who Mastered Pi,” and holds a record for having memorized more than 1,100 digits in the mathematical figure.

Fort Logan bore witness to Western history Winnie Burdan, a volunteer with the Friends of Historic Fort Logan, stands in the parlor of the old Field Officer’s Quarters, which today houses the fort museum.

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Mention Fort Logan to most people in the Denver area, and they’ll picture Fort Logan National Cemetery, where thousands of America’s veterans lay beneath rows of precisely-laid headstones.

But just up the hill from the solemn silence of the cemetery is the old Army fort itself, now hosting an array of mental health facilities, where much of the stately 19th-century architecture still stands.

Tucked away in far-south Denver near Sheridan Boulevard and Quincy Avenue, Fort Logan is “a place where you can step out of your car, take a moment to reflect, and envision the contributions of men who helped make Colorado,” said Bart Berger, whose great-grandfather Col. Henry Merriam once commanded the fort.

Visitors today can wander the fort, taking in the grand Victorian buildings of Officers’ Row, or pay a visit to the fort museum to gain a better sense of a place that played a role in pivotal moments of the American saga.

A growing nation By the 1880s, with the Transcontinental Railroad nearly 20 years old and the West’s indigenous people forced onto reservations, the Army was looking to close and consolidate its far-reaching network of pioneer-era forts, said Dr. Jack Ballard, a retired Air Force

DAVID GILBERT

Academy history professor whose book “Images of America: Fort Logan” is one of the few sources that deals at length with the fort’s history.

Denver, by then a rapidly growing metropolis, seemed a natural location for a new urban-type fort, Ballard said, and “Denver leaders campaigned hard for the fort. It represented a huge economic boost.”

The first troops at what would become Fort Logan arrived from Kansas in October 1887. Named for Civil War general Alexander Logan, the fort soon began taking in soldiers from around the West.

Col. Merriam, who would be the fort’s longest-serving commander, arrived with troops from Wyoming’s Fort Laramie in 1889, Ballard said.

Fort Logan’s soldiers soon found themselves part of history. In 1890, Merriam and six companies deployed by train to South Dakota, where they

joined hundreds of troops encircling fleeing Lakota after soldiers killed Chief Sitting Bull, Ballard said.

Merriam’s troops were nearby on Dec. 29, 1890, when American troops massacred upward of 300 Lakota men, women and children at Wounded Knee, though Ballard said Fort Logan troops did not take part in the killing.

Fort Logan’s troops served as strikebreakers during several labor conflict in the 1890s, including during the nationwide Pullman railroad strike of 1894, according to historian Almont Lindsey. Troops from the fort traveled to Trinidad in southern Colorado, where they protected deputy marshals as they arrested dozens of union leaders. They would be put to use amid other labor strife in northern New Mexico.

The fort also became home to a piece of high-tech equipment in the 1890s: an aerial observation balloon, manned by

Baldwin and the balloon — dubbed the General Myer — deployed with troops from the fort to Santiago, Cuba during the Spanish-American War in 1898, though the balloon was soon shot down by Spanish artillery.

reaching a new fever pitch as American involvement in World War II loomed.

The fort became a subpost of the Army Air Corp’s Lowry Field on the east side of Denver, according to Ballard, and later added a convalescent hospital. As many as 5,500 men were stationed at the fort during the war, with many training as clerks.

Many temporary buildings were added to the fort grounds during the war — mostly temporary wooden structures, of which few remain.

After the war, the fort was declared military surplus, and used for a time as a Veterans Administration hospital, before eventually being handed over to the State of Colorado in 1960 to become a mental health hospital.

Place of healing Today, the fort’s idyllic grounds make for a therapeutic environment for patients dealing with mental illness, said David Polunas, the director of the Colorado Mental Health Institute at Fort Logan.

“Having dozens of acres with mature trees and big grassy areas is a calming, healing environment for our patients that you might not easily find elsewhere in the Denver suburbs,” Polunas said. “It’s quiet and spread out in a way few other facilities are.”

The hospital currently has 94 beds for persistently mentally ill patients, Polunas said, down from about 400 beds when the facility opened — part of a nationwide effort toward moving mentally ill patients out of

inpatient facilities.

Many of the buildings on Officers’ Row are used by an addiction treatment program run by the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Polunas said, and staff and patients alike take pride in the campus’s legacy.

“We’re stewards of that history,” Polunas said.

The hospital itself has its own significant history, Polunas said, as a forerunner in what were in the 1960s new concepts in mental health treatment, focused on quality of life.

“It was a response to the dungeonlike atmosphere of earlier institutions,” Polunas said. “We have a deep respect for the history of this place, and are proud to shepherd it into the future.”
