Englewood cancels big Block Party Last year’s event brought thousands downtown

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

For the first time since its launch in 2017, Englewood’s yearly Block

Party, which drew thousands to the 3400 block of South Broadway last September, won’t happen this year.

City officials made the decision on Aug. 4 and pointed to current social gathering restrictions set by the state and the Tri-County Health Department as reasons why the outdoor event was canceled.

Because of the COVID-19 pan-

demic, Colorado currently allows outdoor events of up to 175 people in an area if social distancing guidelines are followed.

Englewood’s Block Party featured live music, food and local business booths last year. The city estimates that at least 6,000 residents attended SEE BLOCK PARTY, P7

Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop closing after 62 years Owner says landmark store will ‘leave a big void’

BY LILY O’NEILL BUSINESSDEN

Local big fellas will have to find a new place to shop.

Kaufman’s Tall and Big Shop at 3395 S. Broadway in Englewood is offering 50% off all items in the store throughout August, with plans to close by the end of October.

“There are very few places like mine in the country, and I have been getting a massive outpouring of responses from people because they don’t know where to go now,” said

Sam Kaufman, whose father, Fred, started the business in 1958.

The shop offers a variety of large sizes of name-brand casual and dress suits, shirts, shoes, socks, tuxedos, swim trunks and ski jackets.

Equine event is special for school for the blind In 1st outing since February, students meet mounted unit

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In their first outing in months, students and staff from Littleton’s Colorado Center for the Blind got in touch with their equestrian side on Aug. 3, grooming horses from the Arapahoe County Sheriff ’s Mounted Patrol at Sterne Park.

“It’s really calming,” said Derek Roberts, a student at the renowned school that teaches blind people skills in self-reliance, as he ran his fingertips along the back of Ruthie, a 22-year-old mare. “I try to be a calm person myself. I’d like to think we’re making a connection.”

The visit from the Sheriff ’s Mounted Patrol was the center’s first outing since Feburary, said Dan Burke, the center’s spokesperson.

Normally, summers at the Center for the Blind would be filled with activities like whitewater rafting and rock climbing, he said, but amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, a lot of programs are on hold. Summer camps for teens are on hiatus, as are classes for seniors. The center is down to 18 students in its main program, from 28 to 30 normally.

“It’s going to be this way for a while,” Burke said. “We’re adjusting to the limitations.”

The event was a natural fit for the mounted patrol, said Lt. Rich Anselmi, who heads the unit.

“We really cherish opportunities to

Eliza Portugal pets Love Bug, a miniature therapy horse. go out and connect with the community,” Anselmi said. “Grooming a horse

is a very tactile experience — you do it by feel. We thought this would be a really good fit.”

All of the unit’s horses are owned by volunteers or officers themselves. The unit boasts more than 20 volunteers, many of them teenagers. While four of the unit’s horses are owned by officers and tasked with everything from park patrol to search and rescue, others are retired from the Westernaires precision drill team. Others, like Love Bug, are miniature horses and certified therapy animals.

Restarted in 2019 after a 30-year gap, the Sheriff ’s Mounted Patrol Unit only became fully functional in June. Anselmi said it’s a great way to connect with the community.

“It can be hard to connect with the public from inside a patrol car,” Anselmi said. “Even when we’re on foot, people don’t always want to chat.

But when we bring out the horses, everyone loves to come up and meet

them. It’s a really fun way to get people more comfortable with law enforcement.”

Getting up close and personal with the horses was an enriching experience, students and staff at the Center for the Blind said.

“It’s amazing,” said Eliza Portugal, who teaches Braille, as she scratched Love Bug behind the ears. “I’ve never felt an entire horse before.”

For others, the experience was nostalgic.

“I used to ride horses in Philadelphia, but it’s been a long time,” said student Mark Leary as he brushed out the mane of Rainbow, a Shetland pony.

“This really takes me back. It’s a good feeling.”

Working with horses is therapeutic, Anselmi said.

“As the old saying goes,” he said, “There’s nothing better for the inside of a person than the outside of a horse.”

High-school sports schedule upended by COVID-19 ‘Everything is not ideal,’ says CHSAA’s commissioner

BY LINDSEY SMITH THE GAZETTE

The state’s 2020 fall high-school sports season was slashed from 11 sports to four following an Aug. 4 announcement by the Colorado High School Activities Association after a lengthy compromise and approval from state health officials.

The association announced its 2020-21 calendar after a call with Gov. Jared Polis, a release said, during which CHSAA “received a final response on the plan it submitted to the state’s COVID response team.”

Boys’ tennis, boys’ golf, softball and cross country have been approved to compete in a modified fall season, with competition beginning as early as Aug. 6 through Oct. 17.

The remaining fall sports -- football, boys’ soccer, girls’ volleyball, field hockey, gymnastics and unified bowling — will be played in a new “Season C” beginning about March 1.

Football was granted special permission to begin practice Feb. 22 due to minimum practice requirements before the first contest on March 4.

“Everything is not ideal. Any time you go outside of the ‘norm’ it’s not ideal,” CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green said during a Zoom press conference June 4.

“But at the end of the day, we are in a pandemic and we are in charge of creating opportunities for our kids within the state guidelines and the educational guidelines.”

A moratorium on high school participation will be in place following the fall “Season A” from Oct. 18 through Jan. 3, 2021, as a precaution as “data from the state shows a likely resurgence of COVID-19 cases in late fall,” according to a release.

Winter sports, or “Season B” — including basketball, ice hockey, spirit, girls’ swimming and wrestling (boys’ and girls’) — may begin practice Jan. 4, and will compete through March 6, including playoffs and state championships.

Spring sports will compete in “Season D” beginning practices April 26 and will go into late June, though state championship dates for many sports have not been set.

Season D will be the largest sevenweek season with nine sports competing: baseball, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, girls’ tennis, boys’ swimming, girls’ golf, girls’ soccer, track and field, and boys’ volleyball.

Blanford-Green said CHSAA’s original plan submitted to state officials advocated to keep the sports seasons intact, and requested increased capacity at games and in roster guidelines, but when confirmed positive cases began to surge in Colorado the association went back to the drawing board to submit contingency plans.

“I’m very grateful that we were able to collaborate with different state agencies and able to advocate and get some of the things we wanted that probably weren’t going to happen,” Blanford-Green said, adding the CHSAA fought to include cross coun-

Sole proprietors, businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 25 full-time employees can apply for up to a $15,000 grant and a $20,000 loan for a possible combined total of $35,000 in assistance.

The application was to launch in early August, according to Energize Colorado’s website.

All eligible Colorado-based micro and small businesses may apply, but priority will be given to applicants that are majority-owned by Black or indigenous people, other people of color, veterans, or women — or businesses in rural areas.

Those in the tourism sector and those with limited or no access to capital financing or other federal, state or local grants or loans will also be prioritized.

Under the program, rural areas are defined as follows: • A county with a population of fewer than 50,000 people.

• A municipality with a population of fewer than 50,000 people that is located 10 miles or more from a municipality with a population of more than 50,000 people.

• The unincorporated part of a

county — meaning not in a city or town — located 10 miles or more from a municipality with a population of more than 50,000 people.

Those that have not been successful in pursuing or receiving funds from other federal, state and local assistance programs such as the federal Paycheck Protection Program are eligible to apply.

Gov. Jared Polis and the Colorado legislature designated a $20 million grant from the federal CARES Act funding to distribute alongside $5 million in loans from private donors and other state funds to help Colorado’s micro- and small-business owners, Energize Colorado’s website says.

Find other business assistance at the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s website.

Arapahoe County releases Open Spaces report ahead of master plan update Open space along Willow Creek in Centennial in March.

Animal adoptions brighten life during pandemic

Arapahoe County in 2019 installed seven miles of new trails, saw 684 volunteers donate 5,266 hours, and planted 600 trees through the county’s Open Spaces program.

A new report comes as the county is about to update its decade-old master plan. The updates will focus the county’s priorities on land acquisition and “raising awareness of the value of the dedicated Open Space Sales & Use Tax,” among other goals.

The quarter-cent tax increase began in 2003 and was renewed in 2011. Half of the revenue is returned to cities and towns for projects, and more than one-quarter goes to open space acquisition.

“We’ve seen a 14% growth in the population of the County since 2010 and record use of local parks, trails and open spaces,” the county commissioners wrote in their introduction to the report. “With that comes growth-related stressors that need to be addressed, along with new

opportunities to provide outdoor recreation and protect our valuable resources.”

Among the highlights cited from 2019, the Arapahoe County Fair drew 27,000 attendees, and the Fairgrounds and Event Center hosted 735 events with nearly 86,000 visitors.

Arapahoe County Open Spaces owns the Fairgrounds and Event Center, along with 5,300 acres and 14 miles of trails.

It also manages 17 Mile House along the Arapahoe-Douglas County

line. Last year, thanks to a $200,000 grant from History Colorado, the county renovated and structurally stabilized an 1870s-era red barn, which usually is open for tours and agricultural demonstrations (currently canceled due to the pandemic).

More time at home means more time to welcome furry family members

BY LILLIAN FUGLEI SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

The novel coronavirus has meant a lot more time at home for many people, which has some perks — including an increase in pet adoptions.

“Since we knew we’d be home all summer, and since we limit how much going out and about we do now, we thought it was a good time to get a puppy,” said Jennie Shipman of Littleton. She and her family adopted a 9-week-old collie puppy named Lucky to keep themselves busy during a long summer at home.

“Having Lucky here brings a lot of joy to our home,” Shipman said. “He is a great reason to put our electronics away and devote our time to doing things with him.Our kids are surprised by how much energy he has, and everything he has to learn.”

For shelters like Littleton’s Humane Society of The South Platte Valley, the pandemic means heightened cleaning measures and a limit on volunteers, but they stand ready to facilitate adoptions — now by appointment.

“In Colorado in general, there are lots of humans looking to adopt their new friends” said Kelsey Kennelly, the center’s outreach director. “It’s a good place to be for homeless animals.”

She believes the increased time at home has led to more adoptions.

“For people who are at home more than they would normally be, one of the most obvious benefits is being able to help the animal get situated in its first few nights, weeks and months in a new environment,” Kennelly said.

“By being physically there with the animal as they adjust, adopters are able to monitor the animal’s behavior more closely and ensure they are on the path to success.”

Lillian Fuglei is a senior at Heritage High School in Littleton.

Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society honored Historical commission presents award to group

BY JOSEPH RIOS JRIOS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The history of the Ken Caryl area in Jefferson County tells a story of people hunting mammoths and other now-extinct animals from at least 15,000 years ago, according to the Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society.

It’s home to historic structures like the John C. Shaffer Barn and the Bradford Perley House — the residence of Robert Boyles Bradford who founded the Bradford Wagon Road — a route in the 1860s that ran from Denver to Leadville and South Park.

The residents documenting the area are making sure its history and archaeological findings are remembered for future generations, and Jefferson County is taking notice.

The Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society, a group of around 20 Ken Caryl residents committed to preserving and sharing the history of the area, has been awarded the Norm and Ethyl Meyer Award from the Jefferson County Historical Commission. The award recognizes individuals and organizations that are active in preserving Jefferson County history.

Jim Antes, chairman of the KenCaryl Ranch Historical Society, pointed to the group’s work to ensure that the John C. Shaffer Barn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Antes said the group did extensive research on the origins of the barn — a structure described by History Colorado as featuring a rectangular plan, gambrel roof with cupola ridge ventilators and structural clay tile.

Shaffer purchased the property where the barn is for $100,000 in 1914. He owned newspapers including the Rocky Mountain News and helped establish the Chicago Sym-

The Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society. The group was awarded the Norm and Ethyl Meyer Award from the Jefferson County Historical Commission for its work to preserve Ken Caryl history.

After submitting an application to the state to recognize the John C. Shaffer Barn as a historical site, the Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society learned in July 2019 that the Keeper of the National Register, a division of the National Park Service, had listed the John C. Shaffer Barn on the National Register of Historic Places.

SEE SOCIETY, P14

HISTORIC FACTS ABOUT KEN CARYL The Ken-Caryl Ranch area was purchased on October 17, 1914 by John C. Shaffer, a resident who owned newspapers, a street railway company in Indiana and streetcar lines in Indianapolis and Chicago.

Shaffer named the land Ken Caryl after his sons, Kent and Carroll.

In 1973, the Colorado Archaeological Society started 33 archaeological digs on Ken-Caryl Ranch. Artifacts like pottery, projectile points and hide scrapers used by

people of the Archaic and Woodland period were discovered, according to the Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society. The group believes the people were hunters and gatherers who did little farming.

There are five sites on Ken-Caryl Ranch listed on the National Register of Historic Places including the Bradford-Perley House, Bradford House II, Bradford House III, KenCaryl South Valley Archaeological District and the John C. Shaffer Barn.

BLOCK PARTY FROM PAGE 1

the party that shut down the 3400 block of South Broadway on Sept. 28 of last year.

Chris Harguth, communications director for Englewood, said the city had not spent money on the 2020 Block Party, and no staff time has been spent planning the event.

“Special events can be a big part of a community’s healing process. We’re hopeful and excited that we can safely bring back the Englewood Block Party, as well as all of our events, in 2021,” Harguth said in an email. “This will of course be determined by the pandemic and any associated guidelines regulating special events.”

While the Block Party gave residents an opportunity to have fun and interact with neighbors, it also provided local businesses a platform to form relationships with the community.

Gallo Italian Supper Club and Bakery, a restaurant at 3470 S. Broadway, introduced itself to the community at the event last year by selling pizza by the slice, giving out samples and more. Brian Meadows, co-owner of the restaurant, said Gallo gained a large number of customers from the Block Party.

“It was a big day for us, probably one of the biggest days last year for us,” said Meadows.

“It’s a great way for other communities and other cities to find out about the local spaces around here.

There were times when people didn’t know about us, and (the Block Party) was their first time seeing us and seeing what we can do,” he added. “It gave us great exposure to everybody

Other community events like Littleton’s Western Welcome Week Grand Parade have also been canceled this year due to the coronavirus. Earlier

this year, Englewood was forced to cancel its annual Fourth of July celebration as well. “(Canceling the Block Party) is simply the right decision. We must put all of our residents’ health and safety at

the forefront during this pandemic,” Englewood Mayor Linda Olson said in a statement to the Englewood Herald.

“My dad would be very happy we made it to 62 years, but I think he would be sad with how the business has changed,” Kaufman said.

“People just don’t dress up like they used to, and bigticket items, like suits, aren’t selling like they used to.

People are more interested in golf shirts and khaki pants.”

Through the years, athletes have become fond of the store. Kaufman said 18 Oakland Raiders football players were once in the store at the same time.

“When I was a kid, my dad was on the advisory board that helped form the American Basketball Association and the Denver franchise, which is now the Denver Nuggets,” Kaufman said.

“We’d go to the games, and then we’d drive the players down to the store and open it up in the middle of the night for them to shop.”

The plan was always to retire by the end of 2020, Kaufman explained, and the pandemic just pushed the finish line a little closer.

Give life enough time and it breaks us all

anet,” one of my readers, can no longer read. That means she can no longer handwrite letters like the ones she has been QUIET sending to me for the past three or DESPERATION four years.

Hers were the only personal letters I have received this century. She prefers the intimacy of stationery, stamps and envelopes. Not only that, she doesn’t own a computer.

Craig Marshall She lives alone in Franktown and Smith doesn’t get around much anymore because of her age, the coronavirus, and now this.

Janet left a long, poignant phone message, and implored me not to think of the ramifications of being almost sightless.

Of course, that’s an impossibility.

I first heard about Helen Keller when I was in grade school. Later Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, who was first called “Little” Stevie Wonder.

In seventh grade, my music teacher told us Beethoven was totally deaf by the age of 44 or 45, but continued to compose music.

There have been a number of individuals limited in one way or another who have accomplished extraordinary things. In particular, I am still amazed

by Keller. She was the first deaf-blind person to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree.

In the final months of my father’s life, he was unable to eat, drink, walk or talk. My sister and I had Power of Medical, but he took it away from us and insisted on a stomach port and a feeding tube.

They didn’t work.

His will to live was something to behold. It was unbearable to behold.

Janet is still able to hear. A friend is reading my columns to her. This also means she can listen to music.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

LPS community: Speak out now Tonight, Aug. 13, the Littleton School Board will decide whether to overrule the superintendent’s proposal to send students back to the classroom in one week with high-schoolers attending via a hybrid, cohort, block-style (one class at a time) plan.

The majority of Denver metro area school districts have elected to read the COVID-19 data and postpone in-person learning. LPS’s staff did a fine job with coming up with a unique plan, should students end up in the classroom. The question tonight is whether the superintendent’s decision to send them back NOW is the right decision. The superintendent himself may also present new data and decide that the in-person start date needs to be postponed.

In the feedback portion at the last meeting, every teacher who spoke begged for in-person learning to be delayed on the basis of health and safety.

I encourage the board to listen to these teachers, and to listen to its union, whose president pointed out great concern for the district’s educators with the hybrid plan.

As the runner-up who garnered nearly 10,000 votes in the last election, even I was surprised to have just learned that the board does not actually make a procedural vote on this matter. Instead, the board merely has the option take a vote to overrule the superintendent’s plan.

If you feel strongly on this issue, and you are holding this paper prior to the 6:30 p.m. start time, sign up online at www.tinyurl.com/aug13lps to speak.

The board cares very much about your input.

Nietzsche said, “Without music, life would be a mistake.”

There are recorded books but Janet may not be interested. Her call left the impression that her loss of sight had affected her enthusiasm for living.

As a writer, the inability for me to write would be unacceptable.

Then, I hear about how Stephen Hawking communicated, eventually by using a single cheek muscle.

Sure, Janet could dictate. It wouldn’t be the same, but it would be better than nothing? Or would it?

It would be almost impossible, given the way I think, somewhat haphazardly, to dictate a column to someone who, inevitably and understandably, would want to strangle me.

Janet’s letters were in-depth and welcome critical reviews of my columns.

She always noted my references, my wording, my humor (or attempts).

We’ve all witnessed the consequences of a long life — Janet is Level Eight — with ourselves, family members, or friends. And, of course, pets.

After a recent column about Harry and his life expectancy, I heard from readers who understood. Right now, safe-at-home, without Harry, life with or without music would be a mistake.

One of my doctors told me to disregard “old age” and think in terms of “Levels.” If you’re 30, you’re Level Three. Forty, Level Four.

The mirror knows better, doesn’t it?

My high school English teacher is Level Eight. She’s falling apart, she says. I told her Olivia de Havilland reached Level Ten. My high school English teacher said, “No, no, no.”

(Keller was closing in on Level Nine when she died.)

Oh, Janet. I’m sorry. In your message you encouraged me to continue what I have been doing. I will and a thought of you will be in every column.

Is it time to change the station?

aybe you may have heard of this radio station before, WIIFM, which stands for “What’s in it for me?”

This has been one of the most popular stations that many of us have WINNING tuned into for far WORDS too long. And now, it might be time to change the station.

The new station we all should try and tune into is WIIFY, “What’s in it for you?”

What if our conversations, actions and attitudes Michael Norton centered around how we can help others instead of wondering how they can help us get what we want? I can share what would happen as I echo the most famous quote by Zig Ziglar, “You can have everything in life that you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

What if every day we tried harder to hear with an ear of understanding, listening for opportunities to help?

Not just listening long enough to jump in and talk about ourselves or our needs, but truly listening to the needs of others. Here is what Joel Osteen says, “Encouragement to others is something everyone can give. Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening

ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may your smile to uplift. Who knows?”

What if our field of vison and line of sight was broader, actively seeking people to serve rather than looking for others to serve us? One of my favorite books, “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” a book that has been translated in 200 languages and has never been out of print, was written by John Bunyan.

And he said it this way, “You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.”

It is easy to search the internet for positive quotes that can inspire and motivate us to help others. And I love seeing the creativity of how people turn awesome quotes into amazing messages. The question is how long do those last? Do they last only long enough for us to post something on social media and hope someone sees it, likes it, comments on it, and maybe shares it? For some of us, the answer could be yes, and if it is, it just might be time to change the station from WIIFM to WIIFY. Let me share a very real and recent example of someone who lives with a servant’s heart, someone who exemplifies the “What’s in it for you” attitude. I had reached out to one of the pastors in my life, Ryan Canaday, who lives in the Denver area. I shared with Ryan that I had a friend in New York who was struggling with a family situation and I believed that he was the right person to speak with my friend.

Without hesitation, he asked me if he could have 15 minutes and then he would jump on the call. You might say, well he is a pastor, that’s his job.

Owners on demise of a Denver food landmark After 38 years, favored power eatery felled by impact of COVID-19

BY JENNIFER CASTOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS

Formed on a foundation of friendship and the love of good food, after 38 years, Racines is closing its doors for good.

This transition into retirement has been in the works for a while, but wasn’t supposed to happen until January of next year. COVID-19 quickly changed the plans.

There will be no long goodbye for owners, staff or the regular diners.

That’s not stopping owners Lee Goodfriend and David Racine from taking a moment to thank their supporters.

Goodfriend and Racine met in 1975 and have been working together ever since.

“That’s the year we first met at Zach’s restaurant at 1480 Humbolt Street. I was a bartender and Lee was a waitperson,” said Racine.

Along with a few other friends and business partners, the two opened three restaurants around town in the decades to follow.

In 1979, Goodfriends opened on Colfax Avenue in Denver.

“We mortgaged everything we had which wasn’t so much. We put the TVs and the stereo system on my Sears credit card. I mortgaged my car which had been paid for and we all did stuff like that. That’s how you did it back then,” said Goodfriend.

In December 1983 the group opened Racines, originally located in the heart of the Golden Triangle neighborhood at Ninth and Bannock. They had a very welcoming philosophy, something they were known for and worked well in all of their locations. It was simple.

“Everybody could come to the restaurant. It didn’t matter. Construction people, theater people, business people. We were trying to create regular clientele, people who would come here more than once. I think over the years we became successful for that,” said Racine.

“Denver wasn’t very diverse back then and I’m not sure anybody even knew what a gay person was,” Goodfriend said. “We found that this is how we were both brought up; to be open and inclusive and we just applied that to our business.”

It’s a philosophy, they say, that has worked for 38 years.

In 2004, Racines relocated to its current location at 650 Sherman St., in a building the partners built and own, near the governor’s mansion and the studios of several Denver TV stations.

It remained a favored spot for power lunches and after-work beverages. On a typical day you might find politicians cutting deals alongside reporters meeting with sources and colleagues celebrating milestones.

Along the way, there was another location to complete the trio of restaurants the group of friends would own.

Dixons in Lower Downtown opened in 1997.

“My favorite memory was Dixons during the Democratic Convention (in 2008). The energy downtown, I’ve never seen it like that since. The 16th Street Mall, there were a huge amount of people there and it was so neat. I saw a ton of politicians and celebrities all over the place. It was one of my

“And the low was laying off 125 people on March 16th of this year,” she added, recalling the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. “It never even occurred to me that something like this could happen.

“Even that day, David and I had discussed if we should stay open, thinking, ‘OK it will be closed for a few weeks or a couple of months.’ We never thought it would be like this. It’s been very interesting. It’s just gone,” Goodfriend said.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have cut short their goodbye plans, but certainly not the memories.

Goodfriend and Racine talked of the shock of the past four months. They also shared uplifting stories about the good and strength that exists in the community.

Food from the Racines freezer and pantry were donated to two local nonprofits: We Don’t Waste and SAME Café.

The sale of the Racines building is expected to be complete in January 2021. Between now and then, the partners will continue to empty the space and look for buyers for their restaurant equipment.

After that, look for Goodfriend as a volunteer at SAME Café. Racine said he plans to take an RV road trip and maybe go to see his mom, pending COVID-19’s departure.

“I don’t think anyone could have had better guests from all walks of life than Racines, Goodfriends and Dixons had. I mean it’s been unbelievable. We are lucky, lucky people,” said Goodfriend.

“It’s been a great life,” said Racine.

Both were smiling.

Climbing for a cause

Woman summiting 14ers to help ShelterBox

BY CHRISTY STEADMAN CSTEADMAN@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A

University of Denver graduate student has found a way to combine her love of the outdoors with her passion for helping others.

Brittney Woodrum, 27, is an ambassador for ShelterBox USA — an international disaster relief organization that “focuses on providing shelter to those who have lost it” through natural disaster or conflict, Woodrum said. A ShelterBox is a container of essential items to sustain displaced people.

To bring awareness and raise money for the organization’s COVID-19 emergency relief fund, Woodrum has embarked on her Climbing for a Cause: the Fourteeners Project — she will be climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot mountains.

And she’s climbing them with a 60-liter teal ShelterBox on her back.

“ShelterBox ambassadors tend to do crazy challenges with the box,” Woodrum said, adding the box accompanies them on the physical challenges for awareness purposes. “Physical challenges are nothing new to me (and) I’m always looking for opportunities to combine my passions.”

Woodrum is a triathlete and in the past has participated in physical challenges for various fundraising/awareness events. She became an ambassador for ShelterBox after learning about the organization as she was researching humanitarian groups that she could get involved with as she pursued her master’s degree.

Originally from Kentucky, Woodrum earned her undergraduate degree in nonprofit administration and Spanish

Brittney Woodrum, an outdoor enthusiast who has a passion for helping others, smiles as she summits Blanca Peak in the Sangre de Cristo Range. Woodrum, who is pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Denver, is climbing all 58 of Colorado’s 14,000foot mountains to benefit ShelterBox USA, which is an international disaster relief organization.

COURTESY PHOTO from the University of Kentucky. She lived abroad for about five years — most of the time was spent in southeast Asia — and moved to Denver about a year ago to earn a graduate degree in humanitarian assistance from DU. Colorado was particularly attractive to her because of the state’s abundance of outdoor recreation, she said, pointing out that she had heard of Colorado’s iconic fourteeners.

ShelterBox is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in both 2018 and 2019. It got its start as a project by a Rotary Club in England.

What ShelterBox does is provide people who have been displaced because of natural disaster or conflict with

the essential items needed to set up a household, said Kerri Murray, president of ShelterBox USA. These items include a tent, in addition to other basic needs such as water filtration, solar-powered lights, warm blankets, cooking equipment and even a children’s activity set, Murray said.

“They’re little things,” Woodrum said, “but they play a big role in keeping vulnerable communities safe.”

ShelterBox has responded to at least 300 disasters around the globe, Murray said, including the 2015 earthquake in Nepal and the earthquake in Haiti in 2010. Since 2012, ShelterBox has provided emergency shelter to about 250,000 displaced Syrian refugees.

“The need for ShelterBox has grown

because of COVID-19,” Murray added.

“And it has also had to adapt because the needs are different for this (public health) disaster.”

One adaption is including water basins and soap in the box, Murray said.

Woodrum had originally planned on doing her Fourteeners Project after she had graduated from DU. But then the coronavirus hit and began to spread worldwide.

“Disasters haven’t stopped just because COVID is happening,” Woodrum said. “It was challenging to be stuck at home and not able to help. I felt this was the time to do this project.

It’s something I can do without putting others at risk” of spreading the virus.

Woodrum is camping on public lands about 97% of the time, and the other 3% will be at a private residence -- no hotel/motel stays are part of the excursion, Woodrum said. She also spent May and June dehydrating food to minimize trips into towns, she added.

The ShelterBox she is hiking with is mostly empty, with the exception of water, snacks and extra layers of clothing, Woodrum said. It weighs about 10 pounds, Woodrum said, adding everybody always wants to know how much it weighs.

Woodrum’s goal is to fundraise $1,400 per peak, for a total of about $80,000, all of which will go to ShelterBox’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. A special peak sponsorship is available for people or a group of people who donate the entire $1,400.

Calling such a supporter a mountain hero, Woodrum will climb the mountain with an item or keepsake that the donor provides and take a photograph of herself at the top with the item. And/or they can choose to get a name mention

by Woodrum in a video at the summit.

She began on July 10. Woodrum expects to finish the challenge with Pikes Peak near the end of September.

Woodrum “wants to make a difference in the world,” Murray said. And “what’s so touching is that ambassadors work to help people who they’ll probably never meet in their lifetime.”

Rockwell exhibit goes into depth

BY SONYA ELLINGBOE SELLINGBOE@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Many of the images are familiar, but perhaps we’ve seen them one at a time ... on Saturday Evening Post covers, at least if one has accumulated a few years like this writer ... on posters, post cards, in books and magazines ...

Many also speak to today’s edgy world, really.

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, President Franklin Roosevelt was facing a world that was about to fracture and it was important to send a message to his people about what was important — and meriting defense, protection ...

Well-known illustrator Norman Rockwell was commissioned at that time by the Saturday Evening Post and Look magazines to create a series of covers, which fill a gallery wall. He was also asked by his president and governmen to address the Four Freedoms:

freedom of speech and of worship; freedom from want and from fear.

Four specific large paintings illustrate the freedoms, but many more refer to them, as they apply to individuals or families …

Related paintings, created at the same time, fill second-floor galleries in a Denver Art Museum that was only partially reopened when we visited.

The exhibit was curated by the Norman Rockwell Museum and by Dr. Timothy Standring for Denver Art Museum. It will be a good one for a family, as an introduction to how art can tell a story.

And perhaps a bit of a parent’s or grandparent’s life story as well.

“Norman Rockwell: Imagining Freedom” is at the Denver Art Museum only until Sept. 7 and illustrates a period in our nation’s history, in one illustrator’s distinctive, often humorous, style.

The paintings were intended to make

the American public more open to the idea of defending those four freedoms — militarily if necessary — as were works by many other artists at that time. (Some may recall a Littleton Museum exhibit some years ago that was composed entirely of such paintings ...)

“The Golden Rule,” (1961) with its more than two dozen faces of varied hues, illustrates the publicity about this thought-provoking exhibit and is a powerful push for the one-world concept so often mentioned today.

Elders, adults, teens, young children and babies all look at us — and look ahead to facing parallel futures in this country.

One can get drawn into the stories Rockwell paintings tell and perhaps not focus on the message, but each tells a story with a clear message. Often, they generate a chuckle as we look.

Civil rights were important to Rockwell. We especially recognize “The Problem We All Live With,” depicting a

tiny Black girl, Ruby Bridges, dressed in her Sunday best, being ushered to a newly integrated school by four large U.S. marshals. The curator also brought in a video of an interview with the articulate, grown-up Ruby Bridges. (Affixed to that Bridges feature is a message from President Barack Obama, about how her bravery influenced him.)

As we enter the gallery, a giant, cheerful, strong “Rosie the Riveter” greets us, a sample of popular propaganda art he created for the American government.

Across the room is the wall of Saturday Evening Post covers, which paid for the art, since there was no government fund for commissioning it, even if it was desired.

This collection is a part of our history, classified as illustration — and yet it’s appropriate for the art museum as an example of the power of art to tell a story.

The John C. Shaffer Barn. The barn was placed on the National Register of Historic Places last year. Shaffer owned newspapers including the Rocky Mountain News and helped establish the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

SOCIETY FROM PAGE 6

“It’s easy to sort of not notice things all around you that are really significant historically. But we wanted to make sure not only our community knows, but also people around the state know there are historically significant sites that are right here,” said Antes.

Aside from preservation efforts, the Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society carries out archaeological work, led by Jack C. Warner — former president of the Colorado Archaeological Society and archaeologist for the group.

He said Ken Caryl is the secondoldest archaeological site along the Denver area. Artifacts like pottery and hide scrappers have been found in the area that were used by the Archaic and Woodland people. Tribes like the Utes were also found in the area as the tribe had an ancient trail that went through part of Ken-

Caryl Ranch.

“I want to understand humanity.

The people who lived here were human,” said Warner. “They did certain things, and that’s where we all come from. As people, you understand more about the eternal nature of human beings. I believe it’s good to understand the ancient people.”

COVID-19 could change its schedule, but the Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society will be presented with its award during the Jefferson County Historical Society Hall of Fame in October. “(The Ken-Caryl Ranch Historical Society has) been very, very active in preserving history,” said Jefferson County Historical Commission Chair Lee Katherine Goldstein.

“From my perspective, I think preserving and sharing Jeffco’s history helps build our community. It helps us connect with each other and with our land, and it encourages stewardship,” she added. “It encourages us to protect our resources and our collective story.”

SPORTS Prep golfers weather storm delay in tourney

Continental League event is shortened to 9 holes by lightning

BY JIM BENTON JBENTON@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

ThunderRidge High School boys golf coach Jim McCord was the director for the Continental League’s first tournament of the season on August 6 at the Broken Tee golf course in Sheridan.

It was one of the first competitive high school tournaments as high school athletes have to adjust to the requirements dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

And Mother Nature had something to say, as two lightning delays forced McCord to reduce the league tourney to nine holes and there is a good chance that the team scores will not be used to determine standings.

“It was a little crazy with the lighting delays,” said McCord. “We’ve gone from 18 to nine holes, but the course, the coaches and players were accommodating.

“This is first kind of back-to-normal for high-school athletics. It was nice to have the kids back out and doing what they should be able to do. We have to be cautious for good reasons.”

There were three golfers who had sub-par rounds on the back nine at

Broken Tee. Charlie Tucker of Rock Canyon carded a 4-under-par 32 for nine holes while Luke Cushman of Castle View had a 2-under-par 34 and Cole Dewey of Regis Jesuit came in with a 35.

Four golfers were even par for nine holes. They were Spencer Schlagel of Legend, Zane Aiken and James Beckett of Ponderosa and Chaparral’s Jack Stafford.

“It was good to get out on the course, even nine holes,” said Rock Canyon’s Nick Fallin, who carded a 41. “It was good to be back with the team. I think all the things we are doing with COVID-19 are good.

“I played a bunch of summer tournaments and they all went well. It was good there were events and we could still play golf. It was definitely a different round today.

“There were two weather delays.

Some kids might have been rusty but I played a lot in the summer. I definitely wouldn’t want to miss playing high school golf this fall. We are doing all the measures to keep it safe.”

Colin McCready of Chaparral shot a 43 and admitted he was rusty.

“It was pretty nice to be out here but I was a little rusty but I had some fun,” he said. “The weather delays weren’t good but it was still nice to be out here.

“I played a little bit this summer with my friends but no tournaments.

It’s been a whole year since I’ve played competitively.”
