City council approves Peña project Three new lanes in total will beef up airport route’s ability to handle traffic

councilmembers, Hancock, the city auditor and the clerk and recorder at the event on July 15 at the City and County building, 1437 Bannock St. Former Denver Mayor Wellington Webb and Gov. Jared Polis attended the inauguration.

Around a dozen protestors also attended the event, with one woman shouting for the city to “stop the sweeps,” reffering to police sweeps of homeless camps, while Hancock was being sworn in. She was escorted off the property by Denver police officers.

After hitting a small speed bump, Denver International Airport’s bid to widen Peña Boulevard by three lanes is on track. The Denver City Council approved the $93 million contract July 15.

The project will add new interchanges to a portion of the road near the terminal. It’s the first phase of a four-phase project that will expand the 12-mile road between Interstate 70 and DIA — two extra lanes heading to the airport and one heading back.

The outgoing legislative body punted the decision to the new council last week, giving five new members a chance to weigh in. And they did, with Councilwoman Candi CdeBaca voting against the contract and Councilman Chris Hinds abstaining. Both cited the project’s contribution to climate change and the need to reduce solo driving — particularly alongside the A Line train — which wider highways make easier.

“We know our planet is on fire, we know what the risk is of induced demand. And so we know better,” said CdeBaca, who led the fight to try to stop the expansion of I-70 through mostly low-income, minority neighborhoods in north Denver.

RTD’s 50-year history builds path to future CEO says transit district considering new ways to get people where they need to go

BY CLARKE READER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

A lot can happen in 50 years, and that is definitely the case in the world of transit. In the Denver area, the Regional Transpiration District — which launched in 1969 — has seen its share of new technologies, groundbreaking ideas, unrealized dreams and work still to be done.

But a half-century of offering mass transit options to the metro area is no small feat — one RTD is celebrating all through this year.

We connected with Dave Genova, general manager and CEO of RTD, to discuss RTD’s past, its current achievements and its future challenges.

This interview has Genova been edited for brevity and clarity.

Tell me about the 50th year of RTD — how is RTD marking the occasion?

We started in February by rolling

out a life-size 50th-anniversary logo event at Denver Union Station. We also have updated all RTD templates to reflect the 50-year logo. Additionally, RTD celebrated on its actual anniversary on July 1 by holding rider appreciation events in each of the transit agency’s 15 districts to thank the public for riding with us over the past five decades. RTD officially celebrated its 50th anniversary on Friday, July 12, with a party on Wynkoop Plaza in front of Union Station.

The event featured RTD information, food trucks, music, a program with speakers and other family-friendly activities. And there will be more to come as the year continues.

How has transit changed in Denver since RTD first started?

When RTD first started, there were several different transit agencies operating in the Denver-Boulder area. On Sept. 7, 1973, voters in what was then the seven-county district authorized RTD to issue $425 million in revenue bonds backed by a half-percent sales tax. With that money, RTD began buying up the aging municipal bus systems that served Denver and its suburbs, such as Denver Metro Transit, Evergreen Transit, Northglenn Suburban and the Longmont Mini. In 1994, RTD opened its first light rail line; in 2016 it opened its first bus rapid transit line and commuter rail line. This

year, we launched the 61AV, an autonomous vehicle pilot program and FlexRide, an on-demand shared bus service where passengers have the ability to book a trip online. RTD has transformed transportation for the Denver metro region.

What, if any, were some predicted transportation changes that never came about?

RTD reviewed a variety of transportation options and one that comes to mind is Personal Rapid Transit, which was similar to the then-popular attraction at Disneyland. In fact, consultants to RTD suggested Denver could be a test ground for Personal Rapid Transit. A 100-mile system of mostly elevated, “fixed guideways” was sketched in which driverless vehicles holding a maximum of 12 people would deliver passengers all around the metro area. Early dreams included an underground subway segment downtown.

What would you say the focus of RTD should be for the next 50 years?

RTD is embarking on the process of reimagining RTD through our Transportation Transformation work which will kick off in July.

RTD strives to continue to keep its finger on the pulse of the citizens in the Denver metro area, offering new services to better meet the needs of our tech-savvy and rapidly growing

population. We will be developing the mobility plan for the future of the Denver metro region.

The Denver metro area has obviously seen some massive growth in recent years. Has ridership grown at a similar rate?

We have been experiencing increased ridership on commuter rail, bus rapid transit, and so far this year on our fixed route bus network.

Nationally, ridership has declined across the country mainly on bus services. There are a variety of reasons: more people are working from home and they are using transit less and using their cars more and automobile access is better than ever before. RTD will be spending the next two years looking at all of the services we provide and how we can improve them through our Transportation Transformation initiative.

That will help us determine what we can do to draw more people back to our services.

What are some big changes happening to popular routes as population changes and grows?

We assess all our services three times a year to ensure that we are providing the most efficient service that meets the needs of the community.

Age in Place with a Reverse Mortgage “I’ve lived in my home for over 30 years. I didn’t want to leave it, and go where I didn’t know the neighbors. A reverse mortgage allowed me to have the security of staying in my home without a mortgage payment. What a relief!” KS, Denver Aging in place is a benefit to many seniors. The ability to maintain the familiarity with the neighborhood, and routine of life can reduce stress and add years.

For many seniors who are living longer, the question is, “How do I fund my longevity?” Spouses are thinking about what will happen when one of them passes away. Will the surviving spouse be able to stay in the home comfortably?

The answer is often “Yes!” when a reverse mortgage has been put in place to ensure there is no mortgage payment and often, a sum of money available to the surviving spouse.

The bank never owns the home and the property may be willed to the heirs.

Because a reverse mortgage is FHA insured, it is a non-recourse loan. No one is

saddled with debt because of the reverse mortgage. As a financial tool, a reverse mortgage is a wise choice in many cases providing relief from financial pressure in the near-term, and greater financial security in the long-term.

“A reverse mortgage is basically a tax-free advance on your home equity,” writes Robert Massi. “For some people, a reverse mortgage can offer financial freedom to enjoy their later years without worrying about income. For others, it can provide much needed help for staying in their homes.” The money from a reverse mortgage can be used for any purpose.

One of our most popular bus routes, the 15/15L, which has about 24,000 boardings a day, is getting a makeover right now. Updates include enhanced shelters with lighting and security cameras, queue bypass lanes, transit signal priority and bus bulbs that will improve traffic flow on East Colfax. Also, we recently completed a bus rapid transit study to see what transit corridors might be viable options for that service in the future.

This year we are also embarking on a comprehensive analysis of our system, which will allow us to take a big-picture look at all our service and how we can make improvements to the system to accommodate the changing needs of the region. There will be an extensive community engagement process as part of the analysis which will be important in determining how we move forward.

Editor’s note: For more information on the Colfax transit update, read our article at https://lifeoncaphill.com/stories/revisingcolfaxs-blueprint,270843.

In what ways is RTD hoping to improve over the next 50 years?

RTD hopes to continue collaborating with stakeholders, communities, businesses and regional leaders to innovate and integrate our services and continue to adapt to what our riders and non-riders desire.

What are you most excited about when it comes to the future of transportation in the metro area?

I’m excited about all the new technology that is making it easier for people to use our services. We have our partnership with Uber that allows passengers to purchase tickets in the Uber app; we also have a partnership with Lyft where folks can see our services in their app; we have our transit watch app that allows people to report any suspicious or unsafe activities seamlessly and easily. We are also excited about our 61AV route at 61st and Pena Station along the University of Colorado A Line, exploring autonomous vehicles; as well as our FlexRide microtransit service — an on-demand service where people can connect their first and last mile from select transit stations.

Research eyes women’s higher Alzheimer’s risk Scientists look at genes, protein in ongoing fight against devastating disease

BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New research gives some biological clues to why women may be more likely than men to develop Alzheimer’s disease and how this most common form of dementia varies by sex.

At the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Los Angeles on July 16, scientists offered evidence that the disease may spread differently in the brains of women than in men. Other researchers showed that several newly identified genes seem related to the disease risk by sex.

Two-thirds of Alzheimer’s cases in the U.S. are in women and “it’s not just because we live longer,” said Maria Carrillo, the association’s chief science officer. There’s also “a biological underpinning” for sex differences in the disease, she said.

Some previous studies suggest that women at any age are more likely

than men to develop Alzheimer’s.

Scientists also know that a gene called APOE-4 seems to raise risk more for women than for men in certain age groups.

At the same time, women with the disease in its early stages may go undiagnosed because they tend to do better on verbal tests than men, which masks Alzheimer’s damage.

The new studies add more evidence and potential explanations for suspected variations between how men and women develop the disease.

Vanderbilt University researchers found differences in how tau, a protein that forms tangles that destroy nerve cells, spreads in the brains of women compared to men.

Using scans on 301 people with normal thinking skills and 161 others with mild impairment, they mapped where tau was deposited and correlated it with nerve networks — highways that brain signals follow.

They found that tau networks in women with mild impairment were more diffuse and spread out than in men, suggesting that more areas of the brain were affected.

“I’m a little concerned about feeding the traffic monster and having more lanes,” said Hinds, who said he wasn’t informed enough to vote no outright.

“I’m also concerned about citizen engagement.”

DIA, a publicly owned airport that operates like a business, held no public process about the expansion with locals, officials told Denverite last month. No one lives in the area of phase one.

Newly elected Councilwoman Amanda Sawyer acknowledged climate change and induced demand — the concept of wider roads attracting more cars — but voted for the expansion. She cited the airport’s starring role in the local, regional and statewide economy.

“Unlike many of the other decisions we make as a council, this doesn’t just affect the city of Denver,” Sawyer said.

“It affects the region and the state and the country and the world in some ways.”

Councilman Kevin Flynn wanted to ensure cars, buses and shuttles aren’t left out of the “multimodal” conversation.

“The whole idea of multimodal travel is to offer options that work for whatever reason you need,” he said.

DIA officials say demand for the airport necessitates road expansion.

Peña Boulevard sees between 45,000 and 65,000 cars per day on a given segment, according to data from DIA.

‘The whole idea of multimodal travel is to offer options that work for whatever reason you need.’

Kevin Flynn, Denver City councilman That “level of service,” or how many cars can drive unimpeded, is low enough to warrant the widening, they say.

Mayor Michael Hancock’s administration, which is in charge of the airport, has said moving people — not cars — is how to measure success.

The A Line carries about 21,000 people daily, on average, according to the Regional Transportation District. It has the capacity to carry about 98,000 people per weekday and 680 per trip.

Hancock’s administration has verbally distanced itself from widening roads to treat congestion. Denver should invest in infrastructure — bus lanes, trains, streetcars — that frees people from car dependence, according to its Denveright suite of plans for the city’s future.

Former mayoral candidate Kalyn Rose Heffernan was also protesting at the event. She carried a sign that read “everybody’s got a right to live.” Heffernan, along with other protesters at the event, called for Denver to end the homeless camping ban.

After city officials were sworn in, Hancock took the stage for his inaugural address. He also touched on homelessness in the city, as well as the national political climate and immigration. The speech focused on the

future of Denver, including mental health, parks and affordable housing, as well as growth and development.

“We came to make a city where each neighborhood can become complete, with libraries and parks, with good schools, with plenty of mobility options, and no shortage of affordable housing,” Hancock said. “We hold true that growth should be directed to where it makes sense, while empowering our neighborhoods to have a greater say in what affects the character and design of their community.”

VOICES Place of shelter shouldn’t become place to swelter

F

ormer talk show host Dick Cavett said he saw Groucho Marx on the streets of New York, and told him he was a big fan.

Marx said, “If it gets any hotter, I’m going to need a big fan.”

After 22 years, my air conditioner up and died. I wasn’t QUIET thinking. I should have had it checked DESPERATION out in the spring.

Now look at me.

The chickens are laying hard-boiled eggs.

According to “The Old Farmer’s Almanac,” the Dog Days of summer began on July 3, and they will Craig Marshall end on August 20.

They are called the Smith Dog Days because they coincide with the sunrise rising of the Dog Star, Sirius.

Are you Sirius?

I’m sorry. It’s hard to be the good humor man when it’s 88 in the shade.

In my bedroom. I’m not kidding.

I had to take a number when my air conditioner quit, and my number still hasn’t been called yet.

I have seen worse: I lived in Phoenix for two years.

I had an uncovered parking space at my apartment building. I had an uncovered parking space at Arizona State, where I taught drawing in a four-story building that was 40 degrees cooler than the outside temperature.

Leaving the building was a shock.

Getting in my car was a shock.

Leaving Arizona was the second best thing I have ever done.

During his monologue, Johnny Carson would say, “It was so hot today ...” and the audience would shout, “How hot was it?”

The jokes were never that hot.

I lived in Los Angeles, and it could get hot there too, often during the period of the “Santa Ana Winds,”

most common from October through March, when other parts of the country are in the deep freeze.

I have a two-story house. The second floor is unbearable, the first floor is tolerable, and the unfinished basement is the most comfortable area in the building.

Why didn’t they put the basement on the second floor, and the second floor in the basement?

Harry has been giving me dirty looks. Dachshunds are not designed for temperatures like this, even though there is a common sobriquet about a dachshund’s physique that implies otherwise.

As a writer, I have tried to imagine how authors who lived in the South were able to persevere in the heat and humidity.

William Faulkner was born in Mississippi and he died in Mississippi, and in between he became one of America’s most celebrated writers in Southern literature.

Is there a better six-word story than the title of one of Tennessee Williams’s plays, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” for evoking a sultry summer day?

Popsicles and icicles. Fireflies and drive-ins on Friday night. Poison ivy and heatstrokes.

Like every other kid, I looked forward to summer vacation. Now I look forward to a vacation from summer.

Give me late September. Now. I’m not the kind of person who will complain when it’s 10 degrees outside and snow is over Harry’s head. Not me.

I have done a complete 180 when it comes to weather.

As I write this, my back is sticking to the chair, and rivulets of moisture are running down my similes.

And my sense of humor melted an hour ago.

Mixing business with friendship can work

L

ike me, you have probably heard this saying repeatedly, “Never mix business with friendship.” You may have even had an experience that didn’t turn out so well when you tried to partner with a friend on a business endeavor or worked with a friend to help you do your taxes, provide you insurWINNING ance, sell or buy WORDS your home, fix your plumbing, help you make an investment, or any number of other situations that went horribly sideways.

Let me ask this question, was it the friendship or was it the situation itself ?

Michael Norton Was it the friendship or was it something else that went wrong? Did a third party have something to do with? Think about it for a moment. And if you still believe it was your friend, perhaps we need to go back and define what friendship means or how we define our particu-

DENVER Since 1926

lar friendships.

Friends, especially close friends, deal with disagreements and conflicts throughout the friendship. But the friendship is so deep and trusted that if something goes wrong or sideways, they always know how to get beyond the specific incident or circumstance.

In most cases anyway.

Over my career I have made tremendous friends. Clients who have become friends, and partners who have become friends. It has worked the other way as well, friends who have become clients and friends who have become partners. I have been hired by friends and I have hired friends. And, luckily for me it has almost always worked out well.

Some will say that one might make concessions for friends or treat them differently. Some may argue that it’s hard to talk about money or ask for money from a friend. And still others will stand behind this concept that a client cannot become a friend because you will never be willing to raise your price or ask for more money — the preference being to preserve the friendship rather than

tell them that there has been a price increase.

So, here’s the difference, a friend is a friend at all times. A friend is someone who will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear. A friend is someone you can trust with any project that they are capable of doing. A friend is someone who will stand by you when prices go up or down, when business is good or bad, and who is there for the wins and the losses.

It’s when we ask our friends to do something that we know is not in their sweet spot, not their strength, that’s when things go wrong. We set them up for failure. It’s when we don’t set proper expectations regarding performance, that’s another huge area where we often fall short and the friendship can be placed at risk.

You see, I would rather go into business with a true and trusted friend.

I have done so a few times and we are still friends today. I would rather hire a friend who has the experience, qualifications, and track record of success to do the job, who knows I will have their back, and who will

always have mine. Am I afraid that one day the business relationship will end? Maybe. Am I worried that it will also end the friendship? Never.

The next time you ask your friend to fix your car, sell your house, or go into business together, make sure you both define your friendship first.

Then set proper expectations, putting trust and your friendship before any business, and always understand what happens should anything go wrong.

For me, I would always prefer doing business with a trusted friend.

If I can’t, then I look for the next most qualified person, business, or company to help me. How about you?

Whether you have had a great friend/ business experience or a bad one, I would love to hear it at gotonorton@ gmail.com. And when we can work well with our trusted friends, it really will be a better than good week.

LIFE

Renaissance Festival offers an Larkspur event that stretches back 43 years draws 200,000 people during annual run

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

hen Christopher Baker wanted to propose to his wife, Rosie, he knew exactly where to buy the ring.

Both he and Rosie attended the Colorado Renaissance Festival in their childhood and teenage years. They’ve continued the tradition into adulthood and now share it with their 3-year-old daughter, Athena — while wearing the engagement ring and wedding bands they bought from a festival craftsman.

The event is a special place to them, the Central City couple said, and buying their rings there added to the sentiment behind them. They also love the culture of fantasy and escapism created by the event.

On an early July afternoon, the couple sat at the festival wearing headto-toe costumes with clothes they’ve acquired from event vendors over the years, looking back on their time within the village walls.

“It’s the only place in the state where you can walk around and see knights rubbing shoulders with storm troopers,” Baker said.

Sarah Periat of Commerce City agreed. The festival creates a place for people to get away from their daily lives and enter what feels like another world. She and her family spend weeks creating costumes. She personally sewed the dress she wore to the festival on July 7, when she dressed as an elf.

“We come every year. We like to dress up,” she said. “I think it’s the fantasy. People like to get out of their element.”

The family-owned-and-operated event has been running for 43 years, mostly at its location outside Larkspur. Jim Paradise is vice president and director of marketing while his father, Jim Paradise Sr., is the owner.

Paradise said it’s festival-goers like Periat and Baker who help add to the event’s allure, People aren’t required to come in costume, and in fact just a small percentage do, Paradise estimated. But they blend in with hired entertainers and make the fantasy more authentic.

There’s much more that goes into making the festival a long-standing success, he said.

“I think what makes it so appealing and gives us the opportunity to have it running for 43 years is the uniqueness of the event itself,” Paradise said.

Entertainers don’t merely perform from one of the grounds’ 10 stages but walk among the crowds in full costume and character to engage attendees. The royal court, including the festival’s king and queen, parade

IF YOU GO The Colorado Renaissance Festival is located at 650 W. Perry Park Ave., Larkspur. Remaining dates for 2019 are July 27-28 and Aug. 3-4. Tickets are available online and cost $23.50 for adults and $11 for children ages 5 through 12. Box office tickets are $25 for adults and $12 for children. More information is available at coloradorenaissance.com.

Rosie and Christopher Baker attended the Colorado Renaissance Festival on July 7 with their daughter, 3-year-old Athena.

The couple have attended for years and purchased their wedding bands at the festival. through the streets while families sip drinks and snack on turkey legs.

The permanent structures meant to resemble a 16th-century magical village are routinely remodeled, and the village as a whole was roughly one-third its current size at the event’s start years ago, Paradise said.

He believes the village in particular sets the festival apart from nearby, smaller Renaissance festivals.

“The difference and the advantage we have is we have created a very nice village for people to come out and really get away. We don’t have just tents

in a parking lot or tables set up in a field,” he said.

The event, which this year runs on Saturdays and Sundays from June 15 to Aug. 4, draws an average of 200,000 people annually and employs approximately 500 people.

For the Town of Larkspur, a community of slightly more than 200 people, that’s a big deal, said Mayor Marvin Cardenas.

“It brings us almost half a million dollars alone in sales tax revenue,” he said. “For years the town has been supported by the Colorado Renaissance Festival. They’re a huge economic impact to our community.”

Other revenue generators are limited in Larkspur, Cardenas said, although he expects pending projects like a campground and a travel center will boost the sales tax once the developments open.

In the meantime, Cardenas said, the renaissance festival continues to support the town financially, provides jobs for residents and nearby entertainment.

“It’s a huge benefit to the community. We’re so lucky to have them and

Games like bungee jumping entertain attendees of the Colorado Renaissance Festival.

I hope they never go away,” Cardenas said.

The festival shop where Baker bought his wife’s engagement ring more than five years ago is still there.

Owner Da-oud Thompson, while standing under a sign reading “Wedding Bands,” said the Bakers are not the only couple to buy engagement rings there. He’s known families that came to him for two or three generations.

“That really feels good,” he said.

Thompson travels the country to sell at various festivals and has come to the Colorado Renaissance Festival for 35 years. It’s one of his favorite shows, he said.

“The people are interesting. They come dressed in crazy outfits,” he said. “I think we’re all devoted to making people smile and having fun.”

ALZHEIMER’S FROM PAGE 5

It’s long been known that women do better on tests of verbal memory — skills like recalling words and lists. University of California-San Diego researchers found that women did better on these skills despite similar signs of early to moderate Alzheimer’s than men.

Using scans on more than 1,000 older adults, they found sex differences in how the brain uses sugar, its main energy source. Women metabolized sugar better, which may give them more ability to compensate for the damage from dementia and make them less likely to be diagnosed with it by tests that involve verbal skills.

“The female advantage might mask early signs of Alzheimer’s and delay diagnosis,” said study leader Erin Sundermann. “Women are able to sustain normal verbal performance longer,” partly because of better brain metabolism.

At the University of Miami, scientists analyzed genes in 30,000 people — half with Alzheimer’s, half without it — and found four that seem related to disease risk by sex.

“One confers risk in females and not males and three confer risk in males but not females,” said one study leader, Eden Martin.

‘The female advantage might mask early signs of Alzheimer’s and delay diagnosis. Women are able to sustain normal verbal performance longer... .’

Erin Sundermann, study leader

Researchers don’t know yet exactly how these genes affect risk — or by how much.

“Some of these look like they’re tied to the immune system and we know there are differences between males and females” in how that works, said another study leader, Brian Kunkle.

Seven other genes seem to have different effect on risks in men versus women. The researchers have a National Institute on Aging grant to do an international study on nearly 100,000 people to try to validate and extend the results.

Five things to know about The Fray Lead singer of band, which played recently in Castle Rock, sounds off

BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Denver-based band The Fray made a pitstop in Castle Rock on July 13.

Headlining the annual Castle Rock Summer Jam marked the group’s first time performing in town.

The Fray, made up of members Joe King, Dave Welsh, Ben Wysocki and Isaac Slade, rose to fame in the early 2000s on hits like “Over My Head (Cable Car)” and “How to Save a Life.”

Slade, lead singer for The Fray, spoke with Colorado Community Media before the show to talk the band’s history, music and coming to Castle Rock.

The Fray played at the Philip S. Miller Park amphitheater to a crowd of thousands.

‘Picking and choosing’ Castle Rock wasn’t one stop on a long list of other tour locations.

The Fray isn’t on tour or working on new music. Slade said on that front, the band is taking a hiatus, and they’ve fulfilled a five-record deal with Epic Records.

“We’re just kind of playing the shows we want and picking and choosing,” he said, adding a home state crowd “rises to the top of our list real

fast.”

Although it was their first performance in Castle Rock, Slade is no stranger to town. He describes it as “such a crossroads of city and the wild frontier out there. I love the juxtaposition.”

“We’re really excited,” Slade said of playing in town. “We all grew up on the Front Range and I have some really good friends that live down in Castle Rock.”

How it all began With 17 years under its belt, the band has been on a whirlwind ride.

It first formed as friends jamming in parents’ basements in the summer of 2002. Slade and bandmate King went to high school together but

reconnected in college.

“Joe and I ran into each other at a Guitar Center in Westminster,” Slade said.

They struck up a conversation — both were in school but writing music — and agreed to play together for fun.

“We didn’t’ really know what was going to happen or what was going to come of it.”

With the addition of two more bandmates along with some early turnover in membership, the group has since amassed Grammy nominations, Billboard Music Awards and charttopping songs worldwide.

Colorado Community Media, in Englewood, CO is a full service media company looking to add to our team.

The experience When going to see The Fray in concert, Slade said people can be comfortable embracing their emotions, positive or negative, and whatever is going on in their life. To some fans, the shows are dance parties. To others, they’re a place to come after a breakup, or to shed a tear.

“I think because of that we’ve almost come to view the show itself as a bit of a sacred experience.

A space where people bring their pain and they try to find hope,” Slade said. “The Fray is kind of a funny musical entity.”

Slade said he appreciates both atmospheres — a south Miami show filled with dancing or a quiet coffee shop setting.

The cutting room floor When choosing which songs to put on a record, Slade said the band has refined its process and learned to trust each other. If the band passes up a song one member was passionate about, “it’s not a sign of losing an arm wrestle. It’s actually a sign that something is not quite true to who we are.”

And when a majority of the members love a song, “those tend to be the fan favorites as well,” Slade said.

“Because it’s a collaborative effort and true democratic fashion, I think if one or two people are at least neutral, the other two really excited about something, it usually makes the cutting room floor,” Slade said. “I think all four of us have really come to trust each other’s instincts.”

The inspiration Although each member of the group finds inspiration to write music from different sources, for Slade, it’s about

the balance in life — understanding that people go through good and bad experiences, often at the same time, he said. Slade wants fans to remember that the world isn’t all one or the other.

“I’m sure each guy would answer totally differently,” he said. “For me, it comes back to that tension, that place of holding on to something that makes you laugh and cry at the same time.”

Whether someone is fighting for a marriage, forging a career or questioning his or her religion, Slade wants to share music that speaks to them.

“If some kid can walk away (from a concert) thinking, `OK, maybe it’s not all this, maybe it’s both,’ that’s a victory for me,” Slade said.

Giving new programming a tri Triathlon event will give kids a new way to enjoy the park

TO LEARN MORE For more information on the My Denver program, go to https://www.denvergov.org/ content/denvergov/en/office-of-childrensaffairs/my-denver-card.html.

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In an effort to extend summer programming for kids into the fall months, staff at the Washington Park Recreation Center are setting out to try a new event — a miniature triathlon.

While the event will be a condensed version of the real thing — a full Ironman Triathlon includes a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride and 26.2mile run — Glen Batista, recreation supervisor at Washington Park, hopes it will challenge kids and give them an interest in major race events.

“This is kind of the first time we’re branching out and seeing how to use the entire park,” said Batista, who described the park as a “phenomenal place” for runners and cyclists. “We have all the resources so let’s see what we can do.”

The rec center is still working with the city to finalize permitting. The triathlon is planned for October and will include swimming 150 meters in the rec center’s pool, a 1.75-mile bike ride and just under a mile run around Smith Lake, which is on the north side

To learn more about the upcoming triathlon event, or to volunteer for the event, reach out to Glen Batista at glen.batista@ denvergov.org. of Washington Park. The race will be for kids from 8 to 12 years old.

The parking lot in front of the rec center, 701 S. Franklin St., will be closed to cars, Batista said. Participants can then use the space to switch from the bicycle portion of the race to the running section.

For the last several years, city rec centers have been working with the My Denver program, Batista said.

The card gives students free access to libraries and local museums, as well as the rec centers, which offers a place to go during summer months. The program is for children from 5-18, according to the city website.

At the Washington Park Recreation Center, programming for My Denver runs from noon to 4 p.m. This includes different activities with instructors.

Batista added that staff hopes to grow the program and bring in more fall activities. Since My Denver already had running and biking programs, creating a triathlon seemed to be a

If the event is successful, Batista would like to bring in more unning and biking organizations.

“It really is just a fledgling of an

idea and we’re trying to see what it could become,” Batista said. “I think the opportunity to make this something for those kids is absolutely there.”
