World Cup could come to Denver in 2026 Nothing certain yet, but speculation falls on Empower Field at Mile High BY PAOLO ZIALCITA DENVERITE

The dramatic win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League Final on June 6 was huge for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team and its supporters. A bigger victory could be coming for the host city, though, when FIFA officials choose hosts for the 2026 Men’s World Cup. The 2026 World Cup — soccer’s most prestigious competition — will be jointly hosted by 16 cities across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of America’s 17 candidates, only 10 will make the final list. Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High is one of them. The Nations League semifinals, third-place game and final were moved to Empower Field from Texas in late April, due to coronavirus complications. For many Coloradans, the weekend was a chance to show FIFA why Denver is the right stage for the international competition. “I think this game was really important for us to show how big the fan base is. You can’t just look at a

Rapids game and say, ‘That’s the entire fan base,’” said Robert Wilson, president of American Outlaws Denver, U.S. Soccer’s official supporters group. “There’s a lot more people here that will go up, especially for a game here at Mile High, downtown.” Both USMNT games at Mile High were sold out, though there was still limited capacity due to the pandemic. The June 6 thirdplace game between Honduras and Costa Rica sold out, as did the June 3 semifinal between Mexico and Costa Rica. American Outlaws Denver’s Hallie Guardo said those games needed to go well, too, because there’s no guarantee the USMNT will even play in Denver if it’s chosen as a host city. She said fans of the sport needed to prove they’ll turn up for any World Cup game, regardless of the teams playing. “We’ve got a lot of different cultures represented that would turn out for any team that’s playing,” she said. American Outlaws national board member Donald Wine flew in from

Washington, D.C. to watch the Nations League final. He said he’s been impressed with Denver whenever international play comes to the city and that he wouldn’t be surprised if FIFA chooses Mile High as a venue. “I think they actually have a good chance. Denver has always been a great city, and

has always been a great host for different matches,” he said. “They’ve done Gold Cup. They’ve done Nations League, obviously they’ve done men’s national team, women’s national team. They’ve had the Mexico national team play here for friendlies. So I wouldn’t count Denver out at all.”

If chosen, Denver could attract fans from bordering states that don’t have any candidate cities. Ana Alvarez came up from New Mexico, which has never hosted a U.S. international game, to watch Mexico play this weekend. “I’m super excited ‘cause we’re so close and we’ve

been here for previous games,” she said. “It’s like my dream to go to the World Cup and it’s going to happen soon.” It’s not yet clear who will play in the 2026 World Cup, since the 2022 World Cup qualifiers haven’t even finished. But 2026 will see a format change, where the tournament will expand to 48 teams. That means national teams that have missed out on tournaments of past, like Chile, Ireland and Ivory Coast, all have a larger chance of qualifying. FIFA officials plan to announce the World Cup host cities later this year. Stadiums such as Dallas’ AT&T Stadium and Los Angeles’ Rose Bowl are among the U.S. candidates. Toronto and Mexico City have nominated BMO Field and Estadio Azteca, respectively. If Denver is chosen as a host, it will be the city’s first appearance in a World Cup. The U.S. has hosted the tournament three times: once for the men’s in 1994, and twice for the women’s in 1999 and 2003.

Bag fees on horizon as bill goes to Polis Polystyrene foam would be banned for use as restaurant containers BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN

Colorado lawmakers on June 8 sent Gov. Jared Polis House Bill 1162, which would establish a fee for single-use products, like plastic and paper grocery bags, and let retailers keep some of the proceeds. The bill would also ban the use of polystyrene-foam containers by restaurants starting in 2024. The measure has long been a priority of Democrats, but it has taken years to get the policy to the point where it had enough votes to clear the legislature, despite ongoing business opposition. The measure would ban single-use plastic bags in Colorado starting in 2024 — but there are asterisks. Restaurants that prepare or serve food in individual portions for immediate on- or off-premises consumption would be exempt, as would stores that operate solely in Colorado and have three or fewer locations. Businesses that are still allowed to offer plastic bags must collect a fee of at least 10 cents on each bag. The fee may be higher if a city or county SEE BAG FEES, P5

OBITUARIES FIORINO

EMILIO E. (LEE) FIORINO 1/18/1925 - 5/22/2021

Lee lived a long, healthful, prolific and vibrant life until his passing on May 22, 2021 at age 96. Born of Italian immigrants Emilio Fiorino and Ernestina Tessitore Fiorino in Little Italy, New York City on January 18, 1925, he served with the 204th Combat Engineers in Europe during WWII. After the war, he met the Love of his life, M. Madeleine Turgeon, and married her on September 24, 1949. As a young draftsman, he was selected to draw up safety upgrades for the Empire State Building’s observation deck. Recruited by renowned Denver architect Temple Buell, he moved in 1955 from NYC to Colorado to realize his ambition of becoming a prominent architect himself, and to raise a family in the wide open spaces of the West. In 1965 he designed and built a custom home for his fast growing family near Parker, CO. His several architectural design creations include Denver’s Tiffany Plaza. He retired to Tucson AZ, fulfilling a lifelong dream of living in the desert. There he continued his passion for photography and watercolor painting,

receiving several local and national awards for his work. His deep, abiding love and appreciation of music was a hallmark of his life and inspired the same within each of his children. A man of impeccable integrity, he was dearly loved by many and will be sorely missed. He is survived by his wife of 71 years, Madeleine, their 5 children, Robert, Paul, Michelle, John, and Ted, 11 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association at www.rmdsa.org/ donate, which happens to be located in the Majestic Building that he designed. Celebrations of Life will be held on Saturday July 10th at 2:00 pm in Tucson AZ at the SaddleBrooke Mountain View Ballroom and Sunday July 18th at 4:00 pm in Denver at the Eisenhower Chapel 293 Roslyn St. For more information about Lee or the Celebration of Life go to bit.ly/ EEFiorino.

BAG FEES FROM PAGE 4

enacts a higher charge. (More on that later.) “We’re hoping that they also make the culture-change decision,” said Sen. Julie Gonzales, a Denver Democrat and prime sponsor of the bill. Businesses that are prohibited from offering plastic bags may distribute them, with fees, between January and July 2024 if they were in their inventory before the start of that year. Starting on Jan. 1, 2023, all businesses would be required to impose at least a 10-cent fee on plastic and paper bags. The fee may be higher if a city or county enacts a higher charge. People who are in federal or state food assistance programs wouldn’t have to pay the fees as long as they can prove that they are enrolled in one of those initiatives. Businesses would be required to send 60% of the bag-fee revenue they collect to the municipality they operate in. If the business is within an unincorporated part of a county, the money would be sent to the county. Local governments would be required to spend the money on bag-fee enforcement costs and on waste-diversion programs, such as outreach and education. The remaining 40% of the bag-fee revenue would be kept by businesses but not subject to sales taxes. Stores that collect less than $20 in bag fees in a given quarter don’t have to remit the revenue to their

municipality or county and can keep the money. Under the bill, businesses would be forced to “conspicuously display” a sign inside or outside of their stores alerting customers to the bag fee. The charge would also be listed on patrons’ receipts. The fee cannot be refunded. It’s not just plastic bags that lawmakers are aiming to do away with. The bill would also ban polystyrenefoam products across the state starting on Jan. 1, 2024. The only exception is that restaurants would be able to continue using polystyrene-foam products for takeout after that date until their inventory is gone. Municipalities and cities would be able to sue businesses that don’t comply with the new bag-fee and polystyrene-foam rules. They also may assess fines of $500 for a second violation and $1,000 for a third or subsequent violation. The fines would be assessed per violation during a retail sale. In other words, if a business illegally handed out 10 plastic bags during one transaction, they would only be considered to have violated the law once. The measure also repeals a restriction on local governments, barring them from introducing restrictions on plastic materials that are more stringent than the state’s.

Denver school board names next superintendent BY ERICA MELTZER CHALKBEAT

Alex Marrero has been named Denver Public Schools’ next superintendent, following the school board’s vote of 6 to 1 on June 3 to confirm appointment of the 38-yearold bilingual educator from New York. “My vote for Dr. Marrero is a vote for all of the priorities we heard as we created a forum for our community to lift up their hopes and their fears for our schools,” Board President Carrie Olson said. Marrero will start July 6, taking the helm of Colorado’s largest school district as it enters a new era of declining enrollment and new approaches to school oversight. Under a contract approved June 3, Marrero will be paid $260,000 a year to start — the same salary earned by the previous superintendent, Susana Cordova. Marrero said the job is a dream

come true for the child of a Cuban refugee and an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who seemed destined to be another statistic. “I am looking forward to collaborating and removing any barriers for students,” he said. Board members said they expect Marrero to take a collaborative, rather than competitive, approach to managing the district’s schools and tackle longstanding opportunity gaps between students of color and their white peers. At-large board member Barbara O’Brien voted no on the appointment and the contract, though she said she would do everything she could to help Marrero succeed. But she believes Denver needs a more experienced leader. “I don’t think our process produced the kind of stellar applicants for superintendent of Denver Public Schools that we expected to get ... I worry that Denver students and families will experience a super-

intendent with a huge learning curve,” she said. Denver Public Schools, Colorado’s largest school district with about 90,000 students, is going through a transition. In addition to grappling with fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and demographic changes, the school board is changing how it approaches school improvement. The school board, which sets policy for the district, has moved away from past education reform strategies such as closing schools with low test scores, and has asked tough questions of the district’s independent charter schools. Marrero served as interim superintendent of the 10,400-student City School District of New Rochelle, New York, for the past eight months after the previous superintendent resigned. New Rochelle has similar demographics to Denver but is much smaller. Marrero started his career as a guidance counselor and has said reducing the school-to-prison pipeline is a priority. He said he will hold all students to high standards and work to gain the confidence of the community. He has pledged to start his tenure with a listening tour and include students and teachers in his decisions. In explaining her yes vote, board member Angela Cobián talked about a time that a guidance counselor helped her avoid getting into a fight after being called an ethnic slur. He helped her feel safe at school and avoid derailing her academic career. “When I think about the fact that we’re going to have a guidance counselor turned superintendent lead our district, I think about the power you’re going to bring to our district — the power of compassion and the power of lived experiences,” she said. A long list of Latino community groups repeatedly called on the school board to delay the June 3 vote. Even before Marrero was named as the preferred candidate

among three finalists, the groups had raised concerns about the search process and the experience level of the candidates. Those with concerns said they grew more worried when Marrero was named in a lawsuit in his previous district in New Rochelle, two days after Denver officials announced their intention to hire him. In the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court, the former medical director accused a number of administrators and a school board member of sidelining her and retaliating against her related to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The New Rochelle district has denied any wrongdoing. Other community leaders have come out in support of Marrero. Ron Cabrera, a longtime Hispanic educator and former interim DPS superintendent, pointed to his experience working with Marrero in the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents. “I know the importance, backed by research, of finding a champion for our underserved students (and) a leader who can be a role model for all our students, our parents and our educational colleagues,” Cabrera said. “I believe Dr. Alex Marrero is that champion for us.” The meeting to vote on hiring Marrero was a work session with no public comment. School board members said they had gone through a rigorous process with multiple opportunities for public feedback, and they called on the community to embrace Marrero and work with him as the district addresses disrupted learning and many other challenges. “I am grateful for Dr. Marrero for going through our process,” board member Jennifer Bacon said.

VOICES

Failing to be facile was tassel-related hassle

ou might think being chosen to speak at a high school graduation ceremony would be a welcome opportunity, espeQUIET cially for someone who is filled with DESPERATION opinions and loves the English language. No, I was mortified and begged them to reconsider. The one I gave might have been the worst high school graduation Craig Marshall speech in history. Smith It was humorless, for one thing, and veined with seriosity. That night, inside a ninetydegree gymnasium with humidity outside close to it, flashed before my eyes when I read, “Ousted California principal escorted off campus after graduation speech.” Ben Nakamura, former principal at Stagg High School in Stockton, Calif., “focused more on his grievances with the school district than

the students he was meant to send off in the world,” the article read. I made the same mistake by focusing on myself instead of the group in green gowns sitting behind me, or the parents in front of me who had made sacrifices on behalf of their children, and demonstrated inordinate patience with the menu of problems many teenagers face. The word “ceremony” gives me a pain. Defined as a “ritualistic event with a purpose,” a graduation ceremony is usually a dull affair with too much pomp for me. The ritualistic event with a purpose I am in favor of is called “lunch.” Not the ones with robes and mortarboards. If you’re wondering where a mortarboard gets its name, it comes from the board brickmasons use to hold mortar. They slip, slide, look silly, and come with tassels you’re supposed to move from the right to the left once you’ve graduated. Then what? For some reason,

you’re expected to throw the mortarboard in the air. “Student loses sight in one eye from mortarboard incident.” I should have opened with a joke. “Why did the teacher marry the janitor?” “Because he swept her off her feet.” But I didn’t. Believe it or not, I’d like to do it all over — a Mulligan — and try my best not to be so profound (i.e., pretentious) and avoid clichés like the plague. I’d say something about the teachers too. I don’t know how they do it. Or why. The pay is low, the disrespect high. “Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?” The story goes that the script of “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” took six days to write. It has its moments. The scene in the Art Institute is the best. The film’s overall theme seems to be that high school is the enemy. Likewise, the overall theme of “The Breakfast Club.” Both movies were written and directed by John Hughes.

High school isn’t the enemy. Neither are the principals nor the teachers. The bullies are. If I were given the opportunity to give my speech over, I’d name the names of the bullies and the ones they bullied. That would be something, wouldn’t it? But there’s a hitch and it’s a big one. The gymnasium is gone, the school is gone, and a third of my classmates are gone. A few died in the war. The speech I gave was years and years ago in an Ohio high school that has since been closed because of low enrollment. I’d close with a joke. Maybe what Charles Schulz said. “Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.” Class of 2021, good luck. You’ll need it.

Truer words may have never been spoken

“Y

ou can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the WINNING people all of the WORDS time.” — Falsely attributed to Abraham Lincoln When I researched this famous quote, I found some interesting facts, great insights about its origin, and who may have uttered Michael Norton some version of this for the very first time. Up until this week, I had always attributed this quote to our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. With increased frequency, it seems that many of us these days are finding out that we may have been fooled or misinformed about lots of things over the years. Maybe even in very recent history. Perhaps even today. If we see it, it must be true. If we read it, it must be fact. If we hear it from a reliable source, it must be

indisputable. If it appears on social media, there must be no doubt about its authenticity. “Never let the truth get in the way of a good story” — Falsely attributed to Mark Twain Sadly, many of us now filter everything we see, hear, read, or experience through the lens of potentially being duped. Our trusted sources are no longer trustworthy. Opinions have become facts. And no longer is it just the deemed famously important politicians, celebrities, athletes, and others who previously held the title of influencer, it is anyone and everyone propagating misinformation or disinformation to further an agenda or action whether that agenda or action is good or evil. It used to be that we could easily discern the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Books, TV shows, comic books, movies, and plays all clearly depicted good versus evil, right versus wrong, up versus down, and nighttime versus daytime. Today we count on posts, memes, ads, apps, and ads on apps to provide that same guidance. The legitimacy of what is being said and

received has everything to do with priority and agenda propagation and nothing to do with reality. The validity of what we see, hear, read, or experience is determined by our threshold of hope or fear in that very moment. Somewhere along the way I heard this one, “The problem with quotes on the internet is that it is hard to validate their authenticity.” — Abraham Lincoln (Anonymous). Think about that one for a minute. As a society, how funny have we become? And it’s not only ha-ha funny, as there are some tremendously amazing comedians among us, but it is also strange funny with stories so outrageous that we just might be led to believe that Abraham Lincoln really did make a quote about the internet. The thing is this, the horse has left the barn, the train has left the station, and there is a good chance that neither horse nor train is ever coming back to the barn or the station.

forever optimist?” Well, stay with me because here it comes. You already know everything you need to know about right and wrong, good and evil, up and down, and night and day. No one must tell you the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. You don’t have to “log in” to “be in” the know, you already know. The only two things you really need are already within you, and they are approximately 18 inches apart. That is the distance between your heart and your head. All you need to do is connect the dots. Are you letting other’s truths get in the way of your real-world story? Is your desire to live in hope greater than your tolerance for fear? I would love to hear your story at mnorton@ tramazing.com.

PROTECTING YOUR

SKIN

WHILE NOT STAYING IN

Advocates discuss safeguards to limit exposure to sun’s rays BY DEB HURLEY BROBST DBROBST@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

oloradans love to tout the state’s sunshine with the warmth and mood boost it provides, but the sun’s rays also are something to be reckoned with, especially as we get into the swing of summer. Skin-care experts and doctors say the two biggest issues are preventing skin cancer and implementing anti-aging measures, especially since the sun’s ultraviolet light can be so damaging. “A healthy dose of sunlight is really good for our bodies because our bodies make vitamin D,” said Brooke Sarmiento, founder and creator of Bee-Och skin-care products based in Fort Lupton. “(Sunlight) boosts mood, helps boost immunity and can ward off infections.” However, too much sunlight is not a good thing, the experts said, noting that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70, and more people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the United States than all other cancers combined. In addition, sun can damage skin, causing it to age prematurely. Ultraviolet rays penetrate into the skin, damaging the elastic fibers that keep skin firm and accelerating production of the pigment melatonin, allowing wrinkles to develop and age spots to appear. Neither is good for skin, which is the body’s largest organ, and both are mostly preventable. Skin cancer The Skin Cancer Foundation and the Colorado Melanoma Foundation preach constantly about the benefits of sunscreen every day, not just when you are planning a day in the sun. Even better, wear a hat and clothing to keep skin from sun exposure or stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially during the hottest part of the day. Not all sunscreens are created equal, the experts say, and it’s important for people to follow the directions. The Skin Cancer Foundation offers a seal of recommendation on sunscreens and other skincare products that have an SPF — which stands for sun protection factor — of at least 15. SPF is a calculation of the difference between how quickly the skin will burn in the sun without the product and with the product. The higher the number, the longer the skin is protected. There are two types of sunscreens: chemical and mineral. Chemical sunscreens use ultra-

HOW TO LOWER SKIN CANCER RISK Skin cancer statistics According to the Skin Cancer Foundation: • On average, a person’s risk for melanoma doubles if they have had more than five sunburns, but just one blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person’s chances of developing melanoma later in life. • When detected early, the five-year survival rate for melanoma is 99%. • In the United States, more than 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day, and more than two people die of the disease every hour. • Regular daily use of an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen reduces the risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by about 40% and melanoma by 50%. Jennifer Morris recommends face washing nightly as a habit that supports good skin COURTESY PHOTO care.

violet light-filtering chemicals while mineral sunscreens usually are powders that provide a physical barrier to the sun, Sarmiento explained. Anti-aging It’s important to take care of your skin and to educate yourself about the products you use, said Jennifer Morris of the Littleton area, who sells Beautycounter products. “Just because it’s on the shelf (in the store) doesn’t mean that it’s good for you,” Sarmiento added. Skin-care advocates suggest learning about the products’ ingredients because not all lotions, soaps and sunscreens are created equal. A skin-care routine that includes

Preventing skin cancer, aging • Clothing is the best defense against washing your face nightly and moisturizing daily is a must, they said, agreeing that moisturizers whose first ingredient is water is probably not the best. “I’m huge on waterless products,” Sarmiento said, noting that the moisturizers she has created use essential oils that absorb into the skin. “Oil-based products provide longer hydration because it’s not just water and alcohols.” Morris and Sarmiento suggested staying away from products with fragrances because most are chemically created rather than created from natural sources. A healthy respect for the sun — both its positive and its negative attributes — is a must during the summer to make the most of the Colorado outdoors.

skin cancer and an easy way to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. The more skin you can cover, the better, with light-colored clothes. • Wear a wide-brimmed hat and UVblocking sunglasses. • Wear SPF15 or higher sunscreen daily and SPF30 or higher sunscreen for extended outdoor activity. • Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. • Examine your skin from head to toe monthly and have it checked by a dermatologist yearly.

social issues through contemporary art, states RedLine’s website. ArtCorps Mentoring pairs a youth with a professional artist to serve as a trusted adult for one-on-one mentoring to create an artistic project that investigates and approaches social justice issues in a practical way. The Empowerment exhibit includes the artwork of about 250 students — second to 12th grade — from 15 local Title 1 schools in the Denver and Aurora public schools districts. The Empowerment exhibit is “student-led and student-art activated,” Futrell said. And these students “continue to express themselves through artwork.”

MUSIC FROM PAGE 7

The lineup is: • Vic N’ The Narwhals plus The Kinky Fingers on July 9 • Specific Ocean plus Neoma on July 16 • Joseph Lamar plus Corsicana on July 23

IF YOU GO RedLine Contemporary Art Center is located at 2350 Arapahoe St. in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood. The Empowerment: Featuring EPIC Arts & ArtCorps Mentoring Artists exhibit is on view during RedLine’s regular open gallery hours, which are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Admission is free, but a suggested donation of $5 for adults and $3 for students and youth supports RedLine’s various programs. Additionally, the youth involved with the Empowerment exhibit is having a canned food drive to benefit the St. Francis Center, so exhibit attendees are asked to bring a canned good if they are able.
