Is a 134,000-vote advantage enough for a “blue wave”?

That’s how much the Democratic votes outpaced the Republicans in the race for governor in the June 26 primary election, according to unofficial results from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office. And in the first primary in Colorado history to allow unaffiliated voters to cast ballots, they leaned heavily for the Democratic candidates.

It happened in a race with no Polis shortage of polarization — Republican Walker Stapleton and Democrat Jared Polis ran away with their parties’ governor races, Polis winning by nearly 20 percentage points and Stapleton by about 18. With Stapleton touting his support for President Donald Trump and Polis pushing for a 100 percent green-energy state by 2040, the pair focused their appeal more toward the fringe rather Stapleton than moderate voters.

Only able to choose one party’s ballot by law, unaffiliated voters turned in more Democratic ballots than Republican ballots by about 25 percentage points — about a 3-to-2 ratio — based on numbers June 27 from the secretary of state.

As the mid-day sun beamed down on Civic Center Park, Jorge Dominguez smiled warmly from the window of his truck.

The young lady standing below him returned the smile as she ordered an arepa — a stuffed white cornmeal bread that is a staple in Dominguez’s home country

of Venezuela. The truck, Arepas House, is brightly colored with the yellow, red and blue of the Venezuelan flag.

“We really love this place,” Dominguez said.

Preparing for the worst DPS works with first responders to simulate active shooter situation

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A radio crackled with chatter as first responders talked through an active shooter drill at the Evie Dennis Campus in Green Valley Ranch. Michael Eaton, chief of the department of safety with Denver Public Schools, listened as sirens wailed in the background.

“In a crisis is not the time to identify how well your plan works,” he said.

Shootings “happen in a matter of minutes.”

Denver Public Schools participated in the two-hour drill on June 20, along with school safety officials from Jefferson County, Aurora, Adams 12 and Boulder Valley. A handful of students and educators from DPS participated as actors inside the building, while one person acted as a shooter.

The drill will help organizations find the strategy’s strengths and weaknesses in responding to a shooter, Eaton said. With so many entities involved, one of the most important aspects is how they all communicate with each other.

The redevelopment of the First Avenue Hotel won’t be finished for a year, but demand is strong already for the lower-cost housing units that are planned for the historic building.

For two weeks in May, a banner on the shuttered, decrepit old building at First Avenue and Broadway advertised “affordable units.” Now, more than 50 qualified people are on the interest list for the project.

“Which is remarkable,” said David Zucker, president of Zocalo Community Development.

“There’s nothing there — an empty building.”

And, on June 25, Zocalo’s plan for the building got closer to reality as the Denver City Council unanimously approved $2.5 million of tax incentives. With the approval, the $36.5 million project

could begin construction within a month and be finished in 2019, Zucker said.

The plan includes 106 belowmarket apartment units. Notably, it will have only 32 parking spots — a fact that drew some questions.

Separately, the developers expect a low-interest loan of roughly $2.5 million through the city’s Office of Economic Development, and they could get tax credits for preserving a historic building The historic, 34,000-square-foot hotel was built around 1908, according to city records.

Parts of the building have been shut down for decades, but the ground floor was home to El Diablo and Sketch Food & Wine until it was declared unsafe in 2012 and 2013.

The project’s apartments will be “affordable workforce housing units,” averaging about 350 square feet, spread across the existing hotel and a new building.

The units are meant for people making up to 60 percent of area median income, with rent ranging from $900 to roughly $1,000.

Colorado to adopt California’s stricter car pollution rules Trump plan to ease emission standards prompts states to take action

BY DAN ELLIOTT ASSOCIATED PRESS

Colorado’s governor has ordered his state to adopt vehicle pollution rules enforced in California, joining other states in resisting the Trump administration’s plans to ease emission standards.

Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper on June 19 told state regulators to begin writing rules that incorporate California’s low-emission standards with a goal of putting them in place by the end of the year.

Hickenlooper said the strict standards are important to Colorado, citing climate change and noting the state’s elevation makes pollution worse.

“Our communities, farms and wilderness areas are susceptible to air pollution and a changing climate,” his order said. “It’s critical for Coloradans’ health and Colorado’s

Hickenlooper future that we meet these challenges head-on.”

Hickenlooper’s order came about three months after the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it would not implement stricter emissions rules adopted by the Obama administration. Those rules would have started with the 2022 model year.

California has a waiver under federal Clean Air Act allowing it

RED ROCKS CONCERTS

to impose tougher standards than the U.S. rules. Currently, California’s standards are the same as the federal standards. But if the Trump administration forgoes the stricter Obama-era rules, California could still impose them or others.

The law allows other states to apply California’s standards. Colorado would be the 13th state, excluding California, to do so, said Luke Tonachel, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council’s clean vehicles project. The District of Columbia has also adopted the rules.

The states that currently apply California’s rules are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington.

“Colorado is recognizing along with other states that the federal rollback is both unjustified and harmful, so the governor is joining others in protecting his state’s citizens,” Tonachel said.

The Colorado Automobile Dealers Association said California standards might not be a good fit for Colorado because a higher percentage

The buildings will have far fewer parking spots than housing units, leading Councilwoman At-large Debbie Ortega to ask whether that wouldn’t be inconvenient for renters.

“It’s a chicken and an egg situation,” she said, adding that a smaller lot “exacerbates the parking challenge.”

Zucker said that the building’s renters will be less likely to own vehicles. “We know that as the price declines, as we get smaller one-bedrooms and studio units, the propensity to own a car is less and less,” Zucker said.

of Coloradans buy pickups, SUVS, vans and all-wheel-drive vehicles, which burn more gas.

“We’re disappointed that the state of Colorado, the governor, or regulatory board or anybody else would cede air quality control regulation to an out-of-state, unelected board in Sacramento (California),” said Tim Jackson, president of the association.

The Obama rules would have required the nationwide fleet of new vehicles to get 36 miles per gallon (15 kilometers per liter) in real-world driving by 2025. That’s about 10 mpg (4 kilometers per liter) over the existing standard.

The EPA announced in April it would scrap the Obama-era rules, questioning whether they were technically feasible and citing concerns about how much they would add to the cost of vehicles. The EPA said it would come up with different rules.

California and 16 other states sued the Trump administration over the plan to drop the tougher rules. All the states that joined the lawsuit have Democratic attorneys general.

Colorado, which has a Republican attorney general, did not join.

build more apartments by cutting down on parking, he said. “Building a structure would have been truly, prohibitively expensive,” potentially hitting $60,000 per parking space, he said.

“To us, the virtue wasn’t building 60 apartments and 60 parking spaces,” Zucker said. And he pointed out that the area has frequent bus service and biking connections.

“It is right by a grocery and every possible amenity that you could want,” said Councilman Jolon Clark. And it was critical to provide housing for people who work along Broadway, he added.

Democrats also outnumbered Republicans among affiliated voters who participated, showing an advantage of about 6 percentage points.

“I think those two things show us a Democratic intensity right now,” said Dick Wadhams, political strategist and former chair of the Colorado Republican Party.

Asked whether the Democrats’ advantage is due to reactions to President Donald Trump or to state issues, Wadhams said, “I think it goes almost totally to opposition to President Trump within the Democratic Party.”

‘Cause for concern’ In the overall ballot count, unaffiliated voters chose the Democrat ballot over the Republican by about 65,000 — 162,700 to 97,500 — as of mid-afternoon June 27.

Registered Democrats also outpaced registered Republicans by about 53,700 ballots as of that time.

“I just have this feeling that behind some of this increase in numbers might be blowback from the irritation with the constant flow of rhetoric” from Trump, said John Straayer, former professor of political science at Colorado State University.

From immigration issues to the constant “Tweetstorm” bashing various targets, Trump may be sparking opposition that “may be lighting a fire under folks saying ‘I’ve had enough,’” Straayer said.

In some state Senate and state House races, there appears to be a “significant leap” in Democratic votes, with a marginal increase in Republican votes, compared to in 2014, Straayer said.

“How that’ll wash out in the fall, I don’t know, but looking at these numbers, if I were a Republican strategist,

Owner and operator Genevieve Hardin bought the trailer in February and had it up and running for about two weeks before it was stolen. It was found gutted two days later.

After hearing Hardin’s story, Colorado Food Trucks and Restaurant Equipment decided to fix her trailer and donated new equipment to get Cheesus back on the road and at Civic Center EATS for Tuesdays in June.

“I hate being remembered by the press of being stolen,” Hardin said.

“I want to be remembered by our delicious grilled cheese.”

Hardin happens to share a space at the Denver Kitchen Share, a commercial kitchen in Northeast Denver, with Dominguez, and a few other food truck vendors. Denver law requires mobile food retailers to work in conjunction with a city-approved or -licensed kitchen. Often, if a truck doesn’t have an established physical location beforehand,

WHAT THEY’VE RAISED Fundraising totals for candidates for three statewide offices based on data from the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office in late June: Governor • *Jared Polis, Democrat: $11.5 million • Walker Stapleton, Republican: $2.1 million *Polis has largely self-funded his campaign.

Attorney general • Phil Weiser, Democrat: $1.4 million • George Brauchler, Republican: $360,000 Treasurer • Brian Watson, Republican: $300,000 • Dave Young, Democrat: $100,000 I’d be worried,” Straayer said.

Some of the disparity in the votes for governor could be due to the Democrats having a more interesting race, said Eric Sondermann, a Colorado political analyst who founded the Denver communications agency SE2, which does marketing related to public policy and opinion.

And parties out of power “tend to have more momentum,” Sondermann said. “It doesn’t determine what’ll happen in November, but I’d rather be holding the Democratic cards than the Republican cards right now.

“It has to be cause for concern,” he added.

Unaffiliated voters gained the ability to vote in primaries after the passage of Proposition 108 in 2016. They made a sizable showing, but their influence may have only tipped close races — like attorney general for Democrats, or treasurer for Republicans, but not the governor’s race — Sondermann said. It’s difficult to know if unaffiliated voters voted differently from those registered with a party on the respective ballots because of a lack of exit polling, Sondermann said.

they rent space in shared kitchens alongside other vendors. Hardin said that the shared kitchens and a shared Facebook forum for local breweries and food trucks create a close community.

A few of the trucks that can be found along Civic Center’s promenade already have physical locations, while others hope to open soon. Arepas House plans to open a restaurant in the Sloan’s Lake area next April, while Infinitus Pizza Pie already has three locations in the Denver-metro area.

The Civic Center Conservancy starts the application process for new food trucks in January of every year. Trucks can apply for a dropin list throughout the season, to be a replacement in the event that a vendor can’t make a day.

“We had more trucks apply this year than we ever had before,” said Amanda Johnson, marketing coordinator for The Civic Center Conservancy. “It’s definitely a pretty involved process of vetting through who are some of our veteran favorites (and) wanting to give enough of the new ones a chance — then also having a nice variety.”

Looking to November Primaries on both sides got “pretty ugly,” Straayer said. “And I expect the general election to be equally unattractive.”

It remains to be seen whether Polis, the U.S. congressman from Boulder, and Stapleton, current state treasurer, will pivot to more moderate voters, but Straayer outlined the battles the two are likely to fight.

Polis “has talked about free kindergarten and universal health care, so I suspect the Republicans will try to paint Polis as the guy who’s gonna rob your wallet,” Straayer said.

Stapleton and his party are “pretty much locked down” on a “hardcore fiscal conservative posture” that leaves little room for addressing concerns with funding for transportation, higher education, health care, K-12 school and other issues, Straayer said.

Wadhams said neither candidate can afford to keep appealing only to their bases. The candidate who can connect with voters on issues like transportation and education will win, he said.

“I think it’s up for grabs,” Wadhams added.

Polis, a wealthy businessman who founded several companies, had raised about $11.5 million in campaign funds as of June — compared to Stapleton’s $2.1 million — but Wadhams and Straayer said money won’t be a decider.

“I anticipate that Stapleton will be outspent by Polis (overall) but will still raise enough to be competitive,” Wadhams said. Straayer said the money between the candidates will likely even out as November approaches.

Polis would be the first openly gay man elected governor in the nation, and Straayer wondered if Republicans would raise that as an issue.

“It’s delicate to go after,” he said, adding it would have a “horrible boomerang effect” and would need to be “handled under the radar” if Re-

publicans were to make Polis’ sexual orientation a point of contention.

Meanwhile, downballot ...

Phil Weiser, a former dean of the University of Colorado Law School and a former deputy assistant attorney general for the U.S. Department of Justice, appeared as if he had pulled off an unexpected and tight win against state Rep. Joe Salazar of Thornton — an avowed progressive — for the Democratic candidacy for attorney general. However, Salazar, trailing by less than 1 percentage point, maintained hope for a rally as ballots continued to be counted in the days following the election.

Weiser’s presumed victory “speaks to the power of money and television,” Sondermann said. “No matter how much people talk grassroots, social media, ground game — money and TV still rule.”

Weiser, who pulled an endorsement from Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, may have a formidable fight ahead against 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler, Wadhams said, adding that Colorado has been known to elect governors and attorneys general of opposing parties.

“These are two smart guys,” he said.

“I think (Brauchler) is one of the best speakers and debaters in the Republican Party and in the state.” He was the lead prosecutor in the Aurora theatershooting case.

For state treasurer, Democratic state Rep. Dave Young, and Republican realestate CEO Brian Watson, managed the win — Young decisively, Watson thinly — in a race that will carry on with low name recognition.

But, Wadhams said, every treasurer in Colorado for about four decades has either ran for, or been elected to, higher office.

Treasurer may be an “obscure office,” he said, but it may be one to watch for future ambition.

Genevieve Hardin, owner and operator of “What Would Cheesus Do?”, prepares to open for lunch at Civic Center EATS in June at Civic Center Park in Denver. “What Would Cheesus Do?” specializes in gourmet grilled cheese and is participating in Civic Center EATS for the second year.

Awash in beauty and wonder — that’s just how we roll

J

ennifer, Harry, and I went on a road trip.

Don’t yawn. Yet. We looped from Littleton to Salida to Monte Vista to Durango to Mesa Verde to Telluride to Gunnison to Littleton, and stopped along the way in the 1940s, the 1950s, and the 1960s.

Road trips were common in the 1950s.

Thank or blame President Eisenhower and his authorization of the Interstate Highway System in 1956, although he didn’t do it for fathers, mothers, their kids, or Stuckey’s, but that’s how it turned out.

It was during the Cold War, and Eisenhower thought large cities would be military targets. An interstate highway system would “facilitate their evacuation and ease military maneuvers” (Wikipedia).

Stop yawning. This is meaningful, if you care about traveling without going through security checkpoints and being told to take off your shoes.

I have a few tips: Go with someone you love (as I did), or don’t go. It’s hour after hour, and no amount of beautiful

scenery — and that’s what Colorado amounts to — will make it bearable if you have someone in the car who is listless, QUIET lifeless, disengaging, DESPERATION or is a sign reader.

Don’t try the road trip we took in an automobile that isn’t fit.

The roads themselves wind and climb, and the drivers, many of them, think it’s a Japanese touge race, especially guys in Dodge Rams.

Craig Marshall I said we saw the 1940s. For that, try Smith Saguache. For the 1950s, try Ridgway. For the 1960s, try Gunnison.

The highlight of the trip, and one of the highlights of my lifetime, was Mesa Verde.

The day started in Durango, where we dropped off Harry at a daycare, and then ate breakfast at Durango Diner on Main Avenue. The manager, an

endearing character named Gary, had been invited to appear on “Chopped,” but declined.

The program’s coordinator couldn’t believe it. You will have to discover Gary’s reasoning for yourself. In 2018, when relentless self-promotion is everywhere, Gary is a soldier of originality.

My abilities as a writer are up against it when it comes to Mesa Verde.

It was my fourth time, and Jennifer’s first.

It is a treasure, a place of contemplation, mystery and beauty. Inconceivably, Ancestral Pueblo people made it their home, living in precarious cliff dwellings, from AD 600 to 1300.

On December 18, 1888, a couple of men who were looking for lost cattle with a Ute guide discovered Cliff Palace. The rest of the park’s history is best reported elsewhere.

There are several dwelling tours. My favorite is Cliff Palace.

You have to schedule a tour, and you can’t schedule online. They don’t overbook, like Delta.

Each tour (55 people) is led by a

ranger. Matt led ours. He was eloquent and informed and respectful of the park and its significance.

He asked us to take a moment of silence, just look at the dwellings, and then volunteer a single word that came to mind.

Of course, some park visitors showed up in flip-flops and prom dresses, and took cellphone photos endlessly, without looking at what they were looking at.

The access and egress are almost incomprehensibly difficult. The steps are irregular and crumbing, spaces between boulders for passage are not passable if you are Hardy rather than Laurel, and the vertical exit ladder is something only a SEAL could love.

If you’re wondering, Harry had a great time. For some reason, he was particularly fond of the Dennis Weaver Memorial Park in Ridgway, primarily the trees.

Re-energized, recharged, and really ready to roll

I

t happens to all of us at some point.

We could be traveling, commuting to work, at a meeting, or headed out to dinner when we realize that we forgot to charge our phones, our tablets, or our laptops. Then we have that moment of panic as we feel disconnected from the world.

For whatever reason, it just didn’t get done, we forgot our charger, we left without the international adapter, we forgot to plug them in and recharge, we left our alternate source of power somewhere else, or we thought we had charged our devices sufficiently, but we just used whatever energy and power we had stored up. And now we find ourselves stranded without any connection.

Has it ever happened to you personally, energy level is low and getting lower, power supply drained, and nowhere to plug in? And when we are in low-energy mode or our source of power feels like it is used up, doesn’t it feel like we are disconnected from the world too?

It happens to me for sure, sometimes I just run down my own battery so low, I

need to plug in and power up.

So, what does drain our batteries and our energy? When is it that we find ourselves tapping out and tired? And then how do we recharge and re-energize ourselves?

Well, I believe the WINNING first question is the WORDS most important, what is sucking the life from our personal power source? What we need to do is identify what gives us energy and what drains us of our energy. For me, tedious projects, negative Michael Norton people, drama and administrative tasks all sap my energy. I am just not a detailoriented guy; pessimism and negativity have no place in my life; people who bring drama and problems that they really don’t want solved take way too much time and energy; and paperwork like reports, expenses and filling out forms are energy-killers for sure.

Now let’s talk about what gets me fired up and recharged. Hope, creativity, positive people, teamwork, family time, reading, church, speaking, training, coaching and watching other people grow. Being a difference maker in someone’s life is one of the things that really gets me re-energized and ready to go and ready to grow myself. So, when I am feeling low energy levels or need a recharge, I reach out to positive people in my life, I send a text or make a call to my family, I tap into creativity to write a column, short story, or poem, I remember why I am so hopeful and that hope is such a great activator of power, or I go deeper into my Bible study and prayer group.

People who are the most effective in crisis situations are the ones who stay calm, he added. Drills help train safety officers to keep a level head.

DPS has invested $20 million in school safety, Eaton said. The department of safety has 135 staff members, including campus safety officers and emergency preparedness professionals.

Schools are fitted with video cameras, so the dispatch center is able to watch lockdown events in real time.

During the drill, officials were able to communicate over the radio the location of the shooter in the building, as well as locations of any potential victims.

DPS has been working with Colorado-based I Love U Guys Foundation, which offers training programs in standard response protocols, Eaton said.

Each school in the district also goes through emergency training.

the school can immediately go into lockdown procedures.

“We want schools to have very clear

and consistent protocols,” he said.

Randall Wells, special operations chief with the Denver Fire Department (DFD), said they frequently work with DPD and Denver Health to run similar drills for random acts of violence. The response will often incorporate other resources such as RTD as a means of transporting people away from a dangerous area.

DFD is responsible for setting up incident commands during the drills, Wells said. The exercises go through the response to an active shooter situation, as well as evacuation and medical care afterward. He added that first responders also help set up communications for concerned families and children to reconnect with their parents.

With more shootings occurring, Wells said it is important to practice drills with schools so that children can be protected. Running the drills, he added, shows students that people are working hard to keep them safe.

The drills are a recognition that schools have “been a target for random acts of violence,” Wells said. “It’s a very hard pill to swallow.”

Water World remains massive draw to north Denver

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

T

here are about 97 days between Memorial Day and Labor Day this year, which means there’s a good chance residents are going to need to find ways to beat the heat several times as the summer goes on.

Luckily, most communities have the perfect way to stay cool — water features.

Whether it’s a splash pad and outdoor at places like Centennial, Littleton or Golden or massive water parks like Hyland Hills’ Water World in Federal Heights, there’s something for every age to enjoy and cool off.

“As we went through our master plan update process, we discovered how important water features are to our residents,” said Allison Scheck, public engagement and operations manager with Lakewood. “Not only do they provide release from the heat, but they can be affordable options for families to get together and play.”

Splash pads — water features in public places that don’t feature much standing water and include fountain sprayers and other active water features - can be found in popular city locations like Englewood’s civic center or Olde Town Arvada, but many communities are going above and beyond with their pads.

The Foothills Park and Recreation District, located in the southern region of Jefferson County, recently unveiled a newly renovated Clement Park Splash Park. The original water fountain at the location was built in 1987, so in its new form, it now includes Colorado elements such as boulders, water curtains, and a creek-like waterway, as well as new shelters that will be available for rental in order to accommodate birthday parties and gatherings.

Riders get some thrills at one of Water World’s rides named after a Colorado river.

CLARKE READER “The response from our community has been overwhelming, especially after two years of preparation,” said Ron Hopp, executive director of Foothills. “It’s a free option for people that gets them out enjoying the outdoors.”

Located in Centennial Center Park, the city of Centennial has an award-winning splash pad that, along with the rest of the park, is a state-wide draw, according to Allison Wittern, public information manager with the city. She said children from all over the metro area are bused in during the summer to splash around.

In addition to three ever-popular outdoor pools at three of its recreation centers, Lakewood also has the Ray Ross Splash Pad and Surfside Spray Park, the latter of which is the city’s newest water feature and has been growing in popularity every year.

“Whenever people discover Surfside, they can’t believe it,” Scheck said.

Of course, no article on aquatic entertainment would be complete without mentioning the state’s — and indeed, one of the country’s — largest water park, Water World.

Located on 64 acres and featuring more than 50 attractions, including the brand-new Glacier Run, the park has drawn in more than 15 million people in its 39 years of operation. And 2018 is

Children enjoy the award-winning water feature at Centennial Center Park. The quality of the feature has made it a state-wide draw. COURTESY PHOTO already off to a promising start, with its busiest June yet, according to Joann Cortez, communications director with the Hyland Hills district.

Picture yourself in an oil painting

A

s someone who has visited countless art galleries over the years, a common question I have is what it takes to be a model for one of these artworks. Who has that special something that inspires an artist to take up their brush and create?

For local artists Jonathan Saiz and Wes Magyar’s 7,000 Reasons Pop-Up Project, all it takes is $143 and a desire to commemorate oneself or something one loves in an oil painting.

“The contemporary art world and society as a whole has become so cynical” Magyar said. “We wanted to do something joyful and optimistic, and these one-of-a-kind commissioned works seem like a good place to COMING ATTRACTIONS start.”

The pair partnered with the Arvada Center to help the project get to its goal of creating 7,000 7-inch by 7-inch oil paintings over the course of seven months. Paintings are $143 and orders are being taken through Aug. 11. Completed portraits will be on display during Clarke Reader a special pop-up exhibition at the Arvada Center through Nov. 11.

“A lot of people want their pets painted first, and then end up wanting to add others,” Saiz said. “We just want a variety of people to realize that contemporary art is being created for them, not for rich collectors in big cities.”

Some of the portraits are already on display at the center, and subjects include a couple adorable dogs and curator Collin Parson’s new son.

“As a recent new father, I immediately thought an original portrait of our new son would be a great gift for my wife as I saw Wes and Jon’s 7,000 Reasons project online,” Parson explained. “She immediately burst into tears when I gave it to her, and thought: What if we can bring as much joy to Arvada Center patrons and their loved ones? We’re excited to have the project here, as it’s truly accessible and so optimistic.”

To purchase a portrait and for more information, visit the center at 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., 720-898-7200 or visit www. arvadacenter.org/7000reasons.

“We’re a place that has so many amenities, including all kinds of food and cabana rental options, but it is important to us that those are optional,” she added. “We allow people to bring in their own food and drinks, so if a family simply wants to pay admission and not a dollar more, they don’t need to.”

Water World is home to all manner of attractions, from child-friendly areas like Wally World and Turtle Bay to family-friendly experiences like Lost River of the Pharaohs and Voyage to the Center of the Earth, as well more thrilling options like the Skyline Speed Slides.

But what many people aren’t aware of is Water World is publicly owned, so all the money spent there goes to Hyland Hills’ many recreational sports offerings for children in the district.

“We’re constantly evaluating ways we can improve things or change them to be more in line in with what people want,” Cortez said. “We bring money to community programs, local businesses benefit from all the visitors, and most importantly, we’ve provided countless memories to families over the years.”

Folk-rock singer Ray LaMontagne is one of these artists.

Since he released his debut in 2004, the New Hampshire-born troubadour with a voice that could stop a train in its track has gone beyond the heartbreaking acoustic tunes to more psychedelic rock. His latest album, “Part of the Light,” is one of his most cohesive and rockingest albums yet.

Ray LaMontagne will be performing at Red Rocks, 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, at 7:30 p.m. on July 10.

Opener Neko Case is the perfect partner for LaMontagne — she’s also been a fixture of the alternative music scene since the early 2000s, and in all that time she has kept her howling hurricane of a voice. She also released
