Safety advocates seek to stop bicycle fatality trend Concerns focus on ways to protect vulnerable road users

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

On the north side of the street where South Marion Parkway curves into East Bayaud Avenue in Denver, stands a bicycle painted completely white. The bike is under a tree, with stacks of bouquets piled next to it and a circle of electric votive candles around it.

The ghost bike stands at the intersection where Alexis Bounds was killed on July 24 while riding in a designated bike lane. In the street, someone has written “another slain cyclist” in green paint.

During July, Colorado added several of these memorial ghost bikes to its streets. Like crosses, or the blue city signs that read “Please drive safely,” followed by a victim’s name, they are a physical memorial — a testament to the lives lost on Colorado roadways.

For Brad K. Evans, the founder of Denver Cruisers, a monthly bike event organization, and former candidate for a seat on the Regional Transportation District’s board of directors, the

Brad K. Evans helped to paint this ghost bike for his friend Scott Hendrickson, who was killed by a car driver on July 12, 2019. Evans said the ghost bikes are essentially gravestones on the streets.

KAILYN LAMB ghost bikes are a stark symbol.

“We need a better conversation about the safety of our streets,” he said. “It’s essentially a gravestone.”

In the metro area including Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties, 35 pedes-

trians and cyclists have died so far this year, according to data from the Colorado Department of Transportation as of Aug. 20. A majority of those fatalities happened in Denver where 10 pedestrians and two cyclists were killed. On Aug. 9, Denver also reported

its first electric scooter death when Cameron Hagan died as the result of an accident earlier this month.

But it’s not just a problem in Denver, or even Colorado, said Megan Hottman, a lawyer who focuses on personal injury cases for cyclists as well as safety laws for bikes and pedestrians nationwide. This upward trend in deaths is happening across the country, Hottman said. In 2017, 52 bicyclists and pedestrians were killed in the metro area. That number rose to 60 in 2018, according to data from CDOT. Colorado officials and cycling advocates are exploring the need for new and harsher laws to prevent deaths of both pedestrians and cyclists on the road. More people are moving to the metro area, and as a result, more people are on the increasingly crowded roads.

In May, Gov. Jared Polis signed SB 19-175, a bill that deals with penalties given to drivers who seriously injure a vulnerable road user. The World Health Organization defines vulnerable road users as anyone who does not have an external shield. The bill made accidents resulting in serious injury a Class 1 traffic misdemeanor, in which the minimum penalty is 10 days in jail and/or a $300 fine.

In a surprise turn of events, residents withdraw historic application

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tom Messina of Tom’s Diner has been granted non-historic status for

his East Colfax Avenue property, allowing him to move forward with potential development plans.

Eleven days before Denver City Council members were to decide whether or not to give the restaurant property protected status as a historic landmark as had been requested by five city residents, the applicants withdrew their application on Aug. 15. The five residents had originally banded together to protect the building at 601

Commemoration inaugurates Women’s Vote Centennial Event launches year of educational programming, community engagement, partnerships in Colorado STAFF REPORT

Gov. Jared Polis, representatives of History Colorado, and the newly formed Colorado Women’s Vote Centennial Commission made history Aug. 26, on Women’s Equality Day, when they kicked off the Women’s Vote Centennial commemoration of the 19th Amendment.

On the anniversary of the largest votingrights expansion in U.S. history, the event launched a year of educational programming, community engagement and partnerships in all 64 Colorado counties.

History Colorado, the state agency leading the initiative, announced inclusive, historic opportunities for Coloradans to participate, join grassroots efforts, and honor the individuals who fought for female voting rights.

Interested organizations and individuals are invited to collaborate to create space and events for civic engagement, commemoration, impact and support. Statewide partnerships between museums, libraries, clubs, schools, arts organizations and individuals will provide settings for suffrage-related

events and dialogue.

Women’s Vote Centennial is the nation’s most comprehensive statewide effort to examine the importance of voting in our democracy.

For information about ways to get involved and participate, visit COWomensCentennial. org, call 303-620-4933, or email HC_COWomens History@state.co.us.

“We want this work to live on and to create a buzz within every Colorado community. It is only through partnerships and collaboration that we can reach individuals statewide with messages, programs and experiences that explore the journey and struggle to achieve voting rights,” Dawn DiPrince, chief operating officer of History Colorado, said in a news release.

In 1893, Colorado was the first state to outlaw, via state referendum, denying citizens the right to vote based on sex. This took place more than 25 years before the national women’s suffrage act was signed into law on Aug. 26, 1920.

Statewide events and initiatives officially commenced on Women’s Equality Day and will culminate in 2020, with the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment’s adoption. Several organizations are already participating in the grassroots movement, including the Arvada Center, Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame, Colorado Encyclopedia, League of Women Voters, Molly Brown House and Regis University.

Tom’s Diner was granted non-historic status on Aug. 16. The status is valid with the city for five years, although property owners can withdraw in that time.

Messina has been working with Alberta Development.

Messina stated during meetings on the historic designation that he planned to close the restaurant regardless of the final decision.

Messina did not respond to a request for comment from Life on Capitol Hill.

In a statement on its website, staff from Historic Denver wrote that the demolition ordinance allowed residents enough time to try to find a solution with Messina and Alberta. The nonprofit, which focuses on preserving historic properties in the city, assisted the five residents with the application to make Tom’s Diner a historic landmark.

“The process has been successful as we’ve worked collaboratively to identify viable alternatives and shared a possible solution with the property owner and developer, Alberta Development,” the post reads. “Historic Denver will continue to urge those making decisions for the Diner to recognize the importance of this building and this place to Denver.”

Congress Park Pool to get a new look City seeks community input on new designs for ‘beloved’ facility

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

After several summers of quick fixes, city officials have started the community process to redesign the Congress Park Pool.

City officials held a public meeting on Aug. 12 to get community input from residents of the area. Perkins and Will is the architecture firm working on the project, along with Counsilman Hunsaker Aquatics, a company specializing in pools, and Mundus Bishop, which will handle the landscape work around the pool space, which is located at 850 Josephine St. Staff from the city as well as the design team gave a quick presentation during the meeting, highlighting some of the different uses for outdoor pools, such as competitive training, recreation and swim lessons, as well as the growing use for wellness and therapy.

The presentation also listed possible new amenities that could be added like a climbing wall or slides.

Rachel Scarborough, a senior landscape architect with Mundus Bishop also said during the meeting that she encouraged people to give their opin-

“This is a beloved pool,” she said.

“We know the trees are cherished, the shade is cherished. This park really is the heart of the Congress Park community.”

Judy Lichtbach, a Park Hill resident, pointed out during the meeting that the pool draws visitors from around the city, rather than just Congress Park residents. It is the only 50-meter

outdoor pool in Denver, and many people use it for exercise, she said.

Lichtbach also argued that several other pools in the city already have amenities, such as the climbing wall in the Carla Madison Recreation Center’s pool. She is hopeful the city will keep the pool at 50 meters. Many seniors, like herself, who can’t run anymore or do other forms of intense exercise, prefer to use the pool.

“This is it,” Lichtbach said, “there’s nothing quite like this.”

Cyndi Karvaksi, a spokesperson for Denver Parks and Recreation, said in an email that the physical footprint of the pool could possibly change depending on what people want. The pool is currently six lanes wide.

Staff members from Perkins and Will created a “build-a-pool” sheet for the meeting, where people could select different amenities they wanted for the potential new pool and could see estimated costs.

‘The more art, the better’

Museum curator connects art and the visitor experience

BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

When Angelica Daneo came to work her first job in the United States after leaving Italy, she found the deeper connection to museums that she had been looking for. During her internship with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., she said she loved the way the museum focused on visitors walking in its doors — and how they connected to the works on the walls.

“That really sparked my wish and desire to work in museums,” she said. “It really gives meaning to what we do as curators.”

Later, Daneo would move on to the St. Louis Art Museum in Missouri.

In 2004, she got a call from the Denver Art Museum, and was offered the role of assistant curator of painting and sculpture. She’s been in Denver ever since, becoming curator of the painting department in 2015, and then promoted to her current role of chief curator in December 2018.

Daneo has been bound to museums her whole life, although she may not have realized it early on, she said. In

Angelica Daneo is the chief curator at the Denver Art Museum. She recently helped to curate the new Claude Monet exhibit, which is exclusively coming to Denver.

Italy, her mother taught art history, and frequently brought Daneo and her brother to museums.

Being exposed to a wealth of art history in Italy helped her relate to the culture. Walking through Italian cities “you are surrounded by

historic buildings that connect you to the past,” she said. She began to be interested in learning how people have expressed themselves creatively through the centuries.

The company said the form would also be available online.

The pool almost didn’t open this summer, due to extensive leaks and damages. Parks and Recreation estimated it would cost $20,000 to fix. Former District 10 Councilmember Wayne New gained approval from Mayor Michael B. Hancock to use district funds to pay for the repairs. Similar repairs were made last summer as well as in years past.

This fall, the city will also begin on initial geotechnical work, Karvaski said. The ground surrounding the pool will be examined to see what types of issues have happened overtime.

As of now, the city is estimating that construction on the pool will begin sometime in 2021.

The pool is one of the city’s oldest and was built in 1955.

Bond money approved by Denver voters in 2017 will be used for the project.

Karvaski said the pool received $8.3 million for renovation costs from the bond.

She added that the city will hold another meeting in October. The time and location have not been determined yet.

“The design process will include various means of gathering community input to ensure the Congress Park Pool remains a special and valued asset for the neighborhood,” Karvaski said.

“Local neighborhood organizations, schools, and community groups are encouraged to be involved.”

Is Your Mortgage “Strangling” You in Retirement?

by Kathy Muni Is 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. You must still pay taxes and homeowners insurance.

Seniors can also get tax-free cash to use for any purpose.

Even without 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. A reverse mortgage allows

you to access the equity in your home—while you continue to live there—with cash or a growing line of credit, making life easier.

GET THE FACTS. There is a lot of wrong information floating around. With a reverse mortgage, YOU—not the bank— OWN YOUR HOME. With no prepayment penalty, you or your heirs can sell the home at any time.

Call me, your local Reverse Mortgage Specialist, to see if this program can benefit you. You owe it to yourself and your family to know your options.

Listen to Kathy on Muni for Your Money: The Reverse Mortgage Show on Legends 810AM at 9am on Saturdays or 10:30am on Sundays.

CURATOR FROM PAGE 5

“Observation is at the core of what I do,” she said. “Being aware of what’s around us and details is probably what lead me to this profession.”

When she received a degree in art history in Torino, Italy, she thought she would stay in academia. She enjoyed writing, and she enjoyed the research, but realized there was little interaction with people.

Daneo continues to keep museum visitors at the center of what she does at the Denver Art Museum. Most recently, she worked to co-curate the Claude Monet exhibit that is exclusively coming to Colorado before returning to Europe at Museum Barberini in Germany.

With great masters like Monet, where most people know who they are, or have at least seen some of their works, you can begin to take their skills as artists for granted. When curating this exhibit, Daneo decided to bring in paintings from the span of Monet’s life, from his first recorded painting at age 18, to one of the last ones painted before his death in 1926.

She added that with masters like Monet, “you almost feel a pressure to like them.” She wants visitors to come to the museum and rediscover the Impressionist painter in a new way — then people can really decide for themselves if they enjoy his works.

Part of that experience is to create a narrative through the exhibit.

Daneo and other members of the Denver Art Museum staff work together to find ways to help modern museum visitors connect to paintings that can be hundreds of years old. Often, this includes quotes from the artists displayed on the walls, or creating a small ballet studio mirror display during Edgar Degas exhibit last October.

“You can have a wonderful work of art, but our role as a team is not to just put it on the wall and assume you will like it,” Daneo said.

In the 15 years she’s been here, Daneo said she has seen Denver grow into a great art city. Since she came to Denver, the Museum of Contemporary Art moved to a larger space in 2007, and the Clyfford Still Museum opened in 2011.

“Everyday I’m energized by Denver,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a city that’s changed so much in just those 15 years.”

The city’s commitment to art is important, Daneo added, because art is one of the most powerful unifying forces on the planet. For her, “the more art, the better.”

But it doesn’t always have to be professional works held in grand museums. Some of the best art she’s seen came from her 6-year-old daughter’s class, Daneo said. Art is something that can be understood by people from all walks of life.

“It’s fundamental to people’s lives,” she said. “Art is a language. It is one that actually can unify people across countries and has done so for a long time.”

VOICES

Check out groceries, human scenery, and emotionally

lace the item in the bag.”

“Place the item in the bag.”

How many times could you hear “Place the item in the bag” before losing your mind?

This is an ode to the 21st-century American grocery store.

QUIET Before there were DESPERATION the grocery stores we are familiar with today, there were general stores and “mom and pop” stores.

General stores might sell bulk foods, like soda crackers, and feature only two or Craig Marshall three flavors of ice Smith cream that had to be hand-packed.

I shopped at a mom and pop grocery store at the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Sawtelle Boulevard in West Los Angeles when

I was in college.

The owners were always there, stocking shelves, sweeping, or working the register. I got to know them by name during my freshman year, but a year later, I moved and began my lifelong relationship with major chain stores.

The closest I have come lately to a mom and pop is in my favorite Colorado town, La Veta.

Charlie’s Market has been family owned and operated since 1937.

You can get anything you need, and there’s even an old-fashioned ice cream counter.

I should probably move to La Veta and get this over with.

This rat race. This Interstate 25.

This madding crowd.

The population of La Veta is around 800, and about half of them are artists.

I am close enough to walk to two major chain stores. There are a few convenience stores nearby too.

And they are always populated with a wide variety of characters that could fill a Fellini movie.

I see families. Four, five, six, seven, eight. I guess it’s an education. (It’s an education for those of us who have to shop around them.)

I see high school kids, usually clusters of girls or clusters of boys, generally giggling, buying junk food, and giggling.

Grocery shopping now comes in many forms.

You can still do it all yourself, or you can sit in your car and have someone shop for you. You can even have groceries delivered to your front door.

In the store, you have the option of having Kerri check you out, or checking yourself out.

If you check yourself out, you will hear “Place the item in the bag” after you scan every item, unless, like me, you simply mute it, which can be done on the screen in front of you.

Kerri has been working at the grocery store near me for a long time.

She always has a smile on her face. I couldn’t do it.

I would last less than a week if I

worked in a grocery store. It’s mayhem.

Last week I found a half-gallon of ice cream in the soup aisle.

Opened and half-eaten sleeves of cookies. Popped and consumed pop bottles.

Carts and people blocking aisles.

It’s a field day of inattention.

But. A grocery store is a beautiful cornucopia.

I have seen Depression-era documentaries, and inevitably I count my blessings. I can get in my car and drive to a grocery store in minutes and buy everything I need and everything I want, at affordable prices.

One more thing: If there’s a firetruck parked out front, it means firemen are shopping, and that means there are appreciative women who are “shopping.”

And that’s always fun to watch.

Words of encouragement, kindness draw attention

T

hanks again for all of the emails regarding my column and the “Winning Words” found here each week. I truly appreciate you all.

Interestingly enough, and based on the community’s feedback, it seems like the stories I have shared and columns I have written over the years that include “softer” topics such as kindWINNING ness, encouragement, WORDS love, trust, hope and faith always generate more emails each week than when I speak about leadership, change, careers, conflict and professional growth.

If I write about having courage in the face of change, Michael Norton the emails typically tend to focus on how to find that courage more than deal with the change.

When I address the importance of encouragement in a leadership role, the responses are weighted more heavily

DENVER Since 1926

on the encouragement aspect and less on being a leader.

This tells me that even in our everchanging, fast-moving, often turbulent and upside-down world, we need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that there is more than just the rush and crush of life that is right in front of us sometimes.

For some who deal with the brutality of reality so often, when they have the chance to catch a glimpse of something positive, they not only reach for it, but they leap for it. At least that is what I see in the emails I receive.

The other side of the story that I hear about is just how many of you seek out the positive words, the winning attitudes, the loving relationships, the majesty of the mountains, and the serenity of the sunsets as a defense mechanism. Recognizing that if you didn’t look for the “good,” that the “bad” would overtake you and consume your thoughts and energy.

I really love what one of our readers, Susan, shared with me in a recent email, “When I allow myself to

see positive words, whether on a billboard, a storefront, a hand-painted wooden sign, online, in a magazine, or in one of your columns, it is like I am living in the light of those winning words.” She went on to share more about her choice of the word, “allow,” because she felt like sometimes, “the negative noise steals my freedom to choose goodness.” Have you ever felt that way? I think we all have, or even do, at some point.

This is why it is so important to find and strike the balance between the noise and what we allow in, and what we choose to defend against. It is so vital to have people and places in our lives that bring us joy and happiness. We can build ourselves up and choose to lift others up through the words we use, write, text and email. Positive, encouraging, good, powerful, life-giving, loving, kind and generous words bring us to living in the light, they help drown out the noise of negativity.

just like Susan. For others who tend be more in touch with the audio form of hope and encouragement, they need to hear those words more often.

And lastly, there are still others who need to feel those words of kindness and generosity in action. And whether those people around us need to see, hear, or feel those beautiful and life-giving words, they probably are looking to see, hear, or feel them from us.

So how about you? Are you someone who is also looking for the positive side of life found in a simple word? Do you keep a healthy word bank handy that is filled with words of hope and encouragement? I would love to hear your own winning words at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can choose to live in the light of all of our winning words, it really will be a better than good week.

BICYCLE FROM PAGE 1

As for cycling, Hottman also said that while car drivers bear a lot of the responsibility on the road, cyclists can be more aware as well. She said that cyclist advocates also need to be advocates for safety on the road, making sure cyclists are not using their phones while biking and otherwise setting a positive example. Most cyclists, she said are also motorists, and should operate their bikes with the same precaution as they would driving a car. With congested streets, Hottman also said that people are stressed because they’re running late, which can lead to speeding. If people gave themselves more time to get places, it could help decrease traffic accidents.

“Frankly, we all just need to slow down a little bit,” she said.

The ‘most vulnerable’ Jack Todd, the communications and policy manager with Bicycle Colorado, a statewide advocacy group for cyclists’ rights, said the increase in cyclist deaths has been going on for a number of years.

In 2014, CDOT reported 10 bicycle deaths statewide, a decline from 12 the year before. But in 2015, 14 deaths were reported. In 2016 and 2017, there were 16 deaths reported each year.

Numbers from 2018 are still being finalized, but preliminary data shows that 22 cyclists died last year in traffic accidents. Eleven of those deaths last year happened in the metro area.

Pedestrian traffic deaths have seen similar increases over time. In 2015, 64 pedestrians were killed in traffic accidents in Colorado. That number jumped to 84 in 2016, and jumped again to 92 in 2017. Last year there was a slight decrease with 90 reported deaths, with 49 in the metro area.

Although the organization has “bicycle” in the name, Todd says Bicycle Colorado is working to create protective laws for all vulnerable road users — bicyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists and now the new group of electric scooter users.

In 2018, pedestrians represented about 14% of traffic deaths statewide, said Samual Cole, the traffic safety communications manager with CDOT. The state’s transportation organization has adopted its own safety goals, and will be launching an education campaign specifically geared toward pedestrian safety in September, he said.

“Paying attention to our most vulnerable roadway users is critical to getting to zero,” he said.

Because vulnerable road users don’t have protection, it makes it more likely they will get hurt in the case of an accident, Todd added.

“They make up a smaller percentage hof traffic crashes, but a much higher percentage of serious injuries or fatalities,” he said. “Ultimately, what it .comes down to is nobody should fear for their lives or die on our roadways.”

At a memorial event in Parker for bicyclist Edward “Chuck” Vogel on Aug. 9, Pete Piccolo, the CEO of Bicycle Colorado, spoke to dozens of mourners, saying that too often, the deaths of cyclists or pedestrians become a

He added that he fears that his own wife and daughter will become part of those statistics.

“I’ve had close calls that have taken my breath away,” he said.

Vogel was hit on July 4 near the intersection of Pine and Centennial drives in Douglas County, near Parker, and died of his injuries. The driver fled the scene and a suspect was later arrested.

Fears for safety The increase in deaths is causing more people to hang up their bikes for good, said Hottman.

She believes there is safety in numbers. When there are more cyclists, it becomes more normal for cars to drive alongside them. But that can be a hard sell for people not used to biking on the road.

“It’s hard to ask people to get on their bikes when all they see is death and destruction associated with it,” Hottman said.

Evans agreed, saying that even as someone who rides his bike frequently, he no longer feels safe on city streets.

This feeling is not limited to bicyclists either. Joanne Cdebaca, who lives down the street on West Bayaud Avenue from where cyclist Scott Hendrickson was hit on July 12, said that she won’t let her children walk in the neighborhood without an adult present. She and her father, who lives next door, frequently see drivers speed on the roadway. This concerns Cdebaca, because not only are there a lot of children in the neighborhood, they live near West-Bar-Val-Wood Park.

Hendrickson was hit in the intersection at South Tejon Street and West Bayaud Avenue, adjacent to the park.

He later died of his injuries.

“They don’t want to wait for you,” Cdebaca said of drivers near the park.

Part of the reason Hottman believes the number of vulnerable-user deaths are on the rise is because of a lack of laws, but also because more people are driving on Colorado roads. As people have been moving to the state by the thousands, the infrastructure of the roadways has not been able to keep up,

she said. It “screams for the additional need for us to have infrastructure.”

Changing behavior In Fort Collins, Todd said, the city is changing the way local governments deal with bicycle infrastructure. Tessa Greegor, the active modes manager with FC Moves in Fort Collins, said the city has seen a 22% decline in accidents overall in the last five years. FC Moves is the transportation planning department for the city. As the active modes manager, Greegor helps with planning for all types of traffic, including pedestrians and bicyclists.

She added that city government there has been very supportive of bicycle infrastructure going as far back as the 1980s. Before that, Greegor said she found archive articles of The Coloradoan newspaper from the 1960s that talked about bicycle advocacy groups fighting for safer streets.

“That’s really been growing for several decades,” she said. “Not a lot has really changed as far as what we’re working to advance.”

Fort Collins now has a “dedicated bike culture,” she said, adding that you can go almost anywhere in the city on your bike. Businesses, advocates, residents and city government all support the bicycle network.

Marshall has been doing research and data studies of cities with and without bicycle infrastructure. Narrower roads mean slower speeds, he said.

“Cities with a ton of bicycling are some of the safest in the world,” he said of his research. “The gist of it is about slowing cars down and building a bigger network.”

Fort Collins is currently working to update its bicycle and pedestrian master plans, Greegor said. Projects include improving street crossing areas on major streets. Greegor said that if people don’t feel safe crossing a street, they often won’t ride their bikes or walk places.

The plans are also looking at places where the city can slow traffic. One thing that the data and all parties can agree on is that speed plays a large role in fatal accidents. The faster you go, the more likely it is that someone will not walk away from that accident, said Jill Locantore, the executive director of Walk Denver.

LIFE on target for growing popularity

Local ranges offer opportunity to socialize, challenge oneself

rchery is challenging, but can also be a way to relax.

It’s a social sport, as well as a way for an individual to strive to achieve a personal best.

“It gets in your blood,” said Jim Murrow of Morrison. “Over all the years, I’m still learning. It seems like every year I learn something new from somebody.”

Murrow, 63, has been practicing archery since he was a little kid, he said. It all started when his mother found a bow leaning against a tree somewhere in Colorado’s mountains sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s, Murrow said. Through the years, he started receiving bows and arrows as Christmas and birthday gifts.

“As I got older, I developed the interest,” Murrow said. “And it stayed with me through adulthood.”

Murrow currently serves the vice president of Golden High Country Archers and enjoys the sport for hunting and competitions.

“For me, it’s a constant learning process,” Murrow said. “You’re always trying to get better.”

Archery is the sport of using a bow to shoot arrows at a target. It dates back thousands of years — perhaps as long ago as the Stone Age — and evidence of humans using bows and arrows for hunting and warfare can be found around the world.

Today, people practice archery for leisure, hunting and competition.

“Archery is growing in popularity,” said Mark Giebel, director of Highlands Ranch’s Backcountry Wilderness Area.

But despite that, there is a lack of outdoor archery ranges, particularly 3D ranges, in the Denver metro area, Giebel said.

A 3D range is one where participants walk along a course, targeting three-dimensional foam models of animals.

To help fill that need, the Highlands Ranch Community Association opened its 3D archery range in the Backcountry Wilderness Area in June 2018. The range is a mile-anda-half loop on a natural surface trail with 28 separate shooting stations, equipped with lifelike animals as targets.

“The Backcountry range is awesome,” said Josh Bednorz of Highlands Ranch. “It’s a place where my 4-year-old son and myself can spend time together shooting and hiking the trails.”

Being a family-friendly sport is certainly one reason people get into

FAMOUS ARCHERS Archers on the screen Katniss Everdeen, the “Hunger Games” Daryl Dixon, “The Walking Dead” Legolas Greenleaf, “The Lord of the Rings” Archers from mythology and folklore Cupid Robin Hood Apollo and Artemis Archers in pop culture Hawkeye, The Avengers — Marvel Comics Green Arrow — DC Comics Princess Merida, “Brave” — Disney Pixar archery, said Mike Schultz, co-owner and general manager of Empty Quiver Archery. But along with that, there are a number of other reasons people enjoy the sport, he added.

The skill-building challenge is one thing people enjoy about it, Schultz said. Anybody can go out and shoot and have fun, he added, “but it’s really hard to get good at it.”

Some people enjoy the Zen aspect of it, Schultz said, and others like the social aspect.

“It offers a getaway from whatever’s going on at home or at work,” he said, but it’s “also a great way to get involved with something and meet new people.”

Schultz has been shooting nearly his whole life — his dad got him into archery about 35 years ago — and he personally enjoys competing and the technical aspect of the sport, including how the equipment functions.

But his favorite part is seeing the progress of archery students and those new to the sport.

Empty Quiver Archery in Broomfield is a 20-yard, indoor archery range with 38 lanes that focuses on recreational archery and training for competitive tournaments, from beginners to state and national champion archers. It offers classes and private instruction, as well as opportunities for people to join a variety of leagues including Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) and Black Light Archery.

“We help people get started,” Schultz said of Empty Quiver Archery.

“It’s common for someone to come and not hit a target their first time, but then they stick with it and eventually start competing.”

Golden High Country Archers club is one that offers local archery tournaments on its outdoor, 13-acre range in Golden. Some of the tournaments are just for fun and competition, such as the club’s Buckle Series, and others benefit a charity, SEE ARCHERY, P11

ver the years, Broadway shows have come to embrace all kinds of musical styles, but there are some that show up far less frequently than others.

And among the rarest to make an appearance has to be bluegrass.

Which is just one of the things that makes Steve Martin and Edie Brickell’s musical “Bright Star” a unique theater-going experience.

“The show has the pace and quickness of Steve’s comedy style, but it also has the emotional depth of richness of his fiction,” said actor Merideth Kaye Clark.

“The music he and COMING did together is ATTRACTIONS Edie fantastic, with all these great hooks.”

Audiences will get to see what makes “Bright Star” so special as the first entry in the new season at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. The show runs at the center through Clarke Reader Sept. 29, with performances at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday through Saturday and 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

The show takes place in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and is inspired by a true story. Told in the 1940s, with flashbacks throughout, the story focuses on newspaper editor Alice Murphy (Clark) as she searches for her lost child. The location is reflected in the music and features an on-stage band playing the Americana and bluegrass-driven score.

A mother of two herself, Clark said she was really raw to the losses and triumphs Alice experiences throughout the story’s duration but was particularly drawn to her strength.

“She really exists at the center of the story, and there aren’t many shows where a woman plays that strong of a protagonist,” Clark, who plays Alice at ages 16 to her late 30s, explained. “I get to be a woman who is very knowing and sage to her younger self, who has a lot more naïve hope.”

Audiences might be surprised at the pathos and depth that a comedian like Martin brings to the show, but that is also what makes “Bright Star” such a powerful experience.

“Audiences should open their hearts to the twists and turns of the show,” Clark said. “It’s the kind of show where you’ll both laugh and cry.”

said Morgan Whitelock, public relations director for Golden High Country Archers.

The tournaments are a great way for everybody to experience the range, Whitelock said, because they are open to anybody.

Normally, only club members have access to the range, she added, and there is currently a waitlist for membership.

Whitelock, 28, of Centennial got into archery because she was seeking an activity that would provide her with a sense of community after her husband passed away.

“I was welcomed with open arms,” Whitelock said, adding she has now been practicing archery for about five years. A student studying petroleum engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, Whitelock said archery has given

Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Oso Oso at Lost Lake For whatever the reason, a lot of people don’t pop punk music seriously. But groups like Oso Oso show how much intelligence and songcraft goes into making tunes that have some substance behind their catchy sheen.

The group’s latest album, “Basking in the Glow” is a perfect example of an album that goes beyond its genre designation to become one of the best records of the year, however you classify it. It’s full of hooks and riffs and insightfully funny lyrics.

In support of the album the group will be stopping by Lost Lake, 3602 E. Colfax Ave. in Denver, at 9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 14. They’ll be joined by Ohio altrock stalwarts The Sidekicks and up-andcomers Future Teens.

Building a network Bicycle infrastructure can be frustrating for people trying to get from one place to another. Lanes in Denver are not well connected right now, Evans said, adding that “we haven’t really invested in creating a safe network.” Historically, street planning has all been car-first, leaving pedestrians and bicyclists to navigate their way around that.

From city to city, this is also a problem. Those bike networks don’t translate as the street flows from Denver into other metro area cities.

“There’s no program for Englewood to draw off what Denver has,” he said as an example.

Englewood recently added a painted bike lane to Dartmouth Avenue. The lane goes from Inca Street to South University Boulevard. University is on the border of Denver and Englewood.

Evans added that in Denver, there is no advocate group specifically for cyclists. BikeDenver recently merged with Bicycle Colorado in May. When that happened, Evans said it created a vacuum, and Denver lost a voice working for change.

For Evans, it doesn’t do people on either side any good to “demonize” drivers, cyclists or pedestrians. Their efforts would be better spent focusing on getting cities to make changes in how they build roadways.

Friends and relatives of Scott Hendrickson signed his ghost bike with love for “crazy Uncle Scott.”

Hendrickson was hit near West-BarVal-Wood Park in Denver. A resident of the neighborhood said cars frequently speed in the area.

A plaque of a mother and child leans against Alexis Bounds’ ghost bike in Denver.

Bounds was the mother of two young boys.

PHOTOS BY KAILYN LAMB Taking action One of the keys to success in Fort Collins has been having funding specifically for these bike projects, Greegor said. The city passed a sales tax initiative that pays for projects.

Through grants, the city is also able to have dedicated staff on its bicycle program.

The city also created a complete street standard that requires new streets or upgrade projects to consider the safety of all modes of transportation. “(New projects) have to meet these standards in order to build those

developments,” Greegor said.

For a long time, Evans said he had been avoiding the ghost bike memorials. But when Scott Hendrickson, an avid cyclist and friend, was killed, Evans stepped in to help, painting an old bike of Hendrickson’s for the memorial placed in West-Bar-ValWood Park.

“This one kind of hit home when it was with Scott. It was one of his first road bikes,” he said of the bike he and Scott’s daughter Madison painted.

While Evans believes that the plans created for Vision Zero Denver are

a great in theory, he feels that the city has been slow to implement it.

He also added that 2011 plans from Denver Moves have also not been implemented quickly.

Locantore agrees.

She also added that although lowering speeds is a good first step, it is just that: a step. Roads like Colfax may have a posted speed limit of 35 mph, but they are designed so that drivers can go 10 or even 20 miles over that. Wider streets also make it hard for pedestrians to safely cross.

These designs, Locantore said, often “put people in conflict with each other.”

“It’s the environment itself that’s causing those unsafe behaviors. We fundamentally need to redesign our streets,” she said. “There’s only so much you can do to protect yourself as an individual.”
