‘A beautiful game of balance and connection’ Colorado’s tango community calls Uptown home BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

As a dancer stands on the floor at the Denver Turnverein, a look and a small nod is all it takes to find a partner for the milonga —an open floor for Argentine tango dancers. At Tango Colorado, dancers take to the floor on Tuesday nights, looping in pairs across the dance floor. The milonga, dancer Rose Vehill Dale noted, is as much an opportunity to dance as it is to observe other people on the floor. “If you don’t feel like dancing a lot,” she said, “it’s so great to just watch.” Vehill Dale is one of the many dancers who take advantage of the Tuesday-night tango lessons at the Turnverein, a historic building in Uptown that has transformed into a dancing mecca, welcoming dancers of all styles — swing, ballroom, Zumba, the Argentine tango and more — every night of the week. Jose Carranza has spent 56 years in Denver. He began teaching tango in 2003, but first started listening to tango music in the ‘50s. He learned to dance the tango the way the music made him feel. Although he enjoyed many dance styles, he decided to focus on tango. “I used to dance everything, and I dance everything still,” Carranza said. But “I decided I wanted to be good at one thing instead of mediocre at everything.” For Carranza, a place like the Turnverein helps him to spread his passion for tango through teaching. On Tuesday nights, the tango brings about 120 dancers to glide across the Turnverein’s wooden floor and lose themselves in the smooth rhythym of the music. SEE TANGO, P12

City’s rules for ballot initiatives could change Voters will decide this fall on proposed new formula for signature numbers BY ANDREW KENNEY DENVERITE.COM

If someone campaigns to change Denver’s laws through a ballot initiative in 2019, they might have a harder time. A ballot initiative, as most Denver residents know, is one of the reasons that strangers approach you in the street. If a group gets enough signatures, they can place a proposal on the city’s election ballots. In November, Denver voters will decide whether to change the required number of signatures for these ballot initiatives. In some years, the new rules will make things tougher for campaigners, but in other years it will be easier. The Denver City Council voted on July 23 to let voters decide the matter — and the debate gets at some of the core questions of running a democracy in a ballothappy state. The change wouldn’t be a straightforward increase or decrease. Instead, the math would change. Right now, the required number of signatures is 5 percent of the total number of votes in the last election for mayor. SEE BALLOT, P10

Daniels Park improvements unveiled Paved road, more parking bolster Denver’s facility near Castle Pines BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Officials from Douglas County and the City and County of Denver came together July 20 at Daniels Park to celebrate an improvement project that, at least in concept, began 20 years ago. The park is owned by the City and County of Denver and located west of Castle Pines in unincorporated Douglas County. A recently completed $3.6 million project added three miles of buck fencing along a newly paved Daniels Park Road, 1.8 miles of bison fencing, roughly two miles of soft trail and 50 parking spaces throughout the park. “Denver was proud to partner with Douglas County to make this happen,” said Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock. “Together we’re going to continue to build great things and make this a great area to visit.” Officials estimated the park would open by end-of-day on July 24. Daniels Park is home to a bison herd that roams the area and boasts views of the Front Range, including

As part of the Daniels Park improvement project, roughly 50 parking spaces were added in several lots along the road.

Roaming throughout Daniels Park is a bison herd, which visitors often stop to photograph. PHOTOS BY JESSICA GIBBS notable local attractions like the Cherokee Ranch & Castle and to the south, Pikes Peak. The area is a popular destination for sightseers, hikers and families, said Charles Herman, the Daniels Park caretaker of three years. “It gets really busy,” he said. “The weekends are a little bit busier and people come out here at sunset.” Castle Pines Mayor Tera Radloff said Daniels Park Road was used

as a cut-through before the project began and her constituents reported speeding as a frequent issue. Brad Eckert, a project manager with Denver Parks and Recreation, said the old Daniels Park Road was a 30-foot-wide dirt roadway and “straight as an arrow.” In addition to speeding, it wasn’t uncommon for drivers to end up in the ditch when the road was muddy, Eckert said. Officials hope paving, curves, fenc-

ing and a speed limit of 25 mph will slow travelers down and increase safety. “The intent was to create more of a park-type experience,” he said. Douglas County Commissioner Lora Thomas, chair of the threemember board, said the project would not have been possible without staff and previous commissioners who worked to form a 2008 agreement with Denver that resulted in the 2018 park improvements. Conversation about park improvements first started in the late 1990s. “It’s totally different,” Herman said. “I think it will help with the overall cleanliness of the park. I think people will want to respect it more now.”

Denver police increase presence on Colfax STAFF REPORT

The number of shootings in the Capitol Hill area from Jan. 1 to July 10 this year doubled from the same period in 2017, according to data from the Denver Poice Department. Two recent shootings occured in May: On May 7, two people were shot near East Colfax Avenue and North Clarkson Street. On May 22, a person was shot at East 13th Avenue and North Marion Street. Denver police data showed that in 2017, from Jan. 1 to July 10, officers received seven calls for shootings for the area from East Colfax Avenue and North Clarkson Street to East 13th Avenue and North Marion Street. One of those calls had a confirmed shooting victim. This year, for the same time frame and area, there have been 14 calls for shootings, with three confirmed victims. Ronald Saunier spent six years in major crimes and then later served as commander of Police District 6 for two years. Saunier was recently promoted to division chief on the administrative side of the police force. District 6 covers Capitol Hill, downtown, the ballpark area, Uptown, as well as parts of the Curtis Park and Five Points neighborhoods.

The increase in shootings cannot be pinned down to any one source, Saunier said. Some have been gangrelated, others involved drugs. The reasons for the shootings were often varied, but a common denominator for crime on Colfax relates to narcotics, Saunier said. Because of drug activity on the street, Saunier said he worked to increase bike patrols on the street. Officers work in shifts, making sure that Colfax is covered for a large portion of the day. Before the May shootings, Saunier said that Denver’s violent crime rates had been decreasing. “We’ve put a lot of effort on Colfax,” he said. “We have seen some successes in reduction of crime.” In 2017, the violent crime rate in Denver was 5.85 per 1,000 citizens, according to Denver police. Last year, Denver saw a decrease of 1.6 percent in overall robberies from January to July when compared to 2016. Saunier said Denver police recently arrested a suspect connected to several street robberies. To stay safe, people need to be aware of their surroundings and report suspicious activity, Saunier said. At night, it’s better to stay in groups. “People become more victimized walking solo, especially at night,” he said.

While access to technology can be a benefit in some cases, it can also help thieves get into your home when items like garage door openers are left unattended. Sonny Jackson, director of communications with the Denver Police Department, said for a long time thieves would kick in a side door to enter a garage and, potentially, a person’s home. Now, they’re more likely to break into a car. “There’s a linkage between the vehicle and the garage,” he said. “We’ve seen the trend where thieves are breaching their car and taking the garage door opener.” Jackson recommended people take the opener with them when they exit the vehicle or attach one to a keychain. Many people leave valuables in their garage, making it a one-stop-shop for some thieves. Garages can also give thieves access to the house. In West Washington Park, a thief cut a hole through a garage door in June to pull the door’s security cord and gain entry inside, police said. Jackson noted this particular method was a one-off event. But garages are still a hot spot for thieves, he said. Some thieves will drive through alleys looking for open garage doors and the opportunity for an easy entry.

Tips to prevent crime This is where technology comes in handy, Jackson said. Phone apps and other security items will alert people if a garage door has been left open for a long amount of time. Having an automatic light system that will draw attention at night to either the car or the garage can also deter thieves. Technology also helped a group of neighbors in Rosedale when a woman was attempting to break into homes there. Front door cameras showed the woman attempting to enter the homes at night. In one case, she did break in, but images from the front door cameras provided police with an idea of who the suspect was. Cameras have also been known to catch package thieves in the act, another crime that has increased in recent years. Knowing your neighbors is also important, Jackson said. A neighbor might notice whether a garage door has been left open or a suspicious person is hanging out on the doorstep next door. Neighboring houses are also a safe place to go should someone break into your home, Jackson added. Using technology to your advantage and knowing your neighbors help homeowners to deter potential thieves. “Neighborhood Watch is not an old, tired system — it works,” he said. “A combination of both is truly the best of all.”

Voices call for different approach in DPS leadership As superintendent prepares to leave, replacement becomes hot topic BY ANN SCHIMKE CHALKBEAT.ORG

Denver teacher Carla Cariño hopes the district’s next superintendent is a bilingual person of color. Ariel Taylor Smith, a former Denver teacher and now an education advocate, wants a leader who tackles school improvement with a sense of urgency. Collinus Newsome, a leader at the Denver Foundation, hopes the search process includes community voices that have been silenced in the past. These are just a few of the desires community members have expressed in the wake of the recent news that Tom Boasberg will step down after nearly a deBoasberg cade as superintendent of Colorado’s largest school district. While the district has released few details about the process for selecting the next schools chief, board President Anne Rowe said Tuesday it’s the board’s most important role and that it will soon schedule a meeting to discuss the process publicly. The 92,600-student district won’t be without a superintendent immediately. Boasberg`s contract requires him to serve for another 90 days.

VOICES Look, in a word, the deal is, arguably, pointless

ook, I want everyone to stop saying “look” like I just did, before making a statement. I hear it all the time now. It’s used this way, I’m guessing, to let your listeners know what you are about to say is momentous. If what you’re about to say is momentous, there is no need to preface it with an alert. Trust your momentousness. Words are my best friends, and I hate to see them gathered at the river and beaten with rocks until they have no coloring. Case No. 1: “Fake news.” Case No. 2: “Witch hunt.” Case No. 3: “Let me ask you this.” And of course, no one owns a “hot water heater.” Newcomers to Colorado: you will begin to hear a word day and night, everywhere you go, like it or not. It is unavoidable: Don’t even try. It will come out of nowhere, and land on your mind. It’s this: “Broncos.”

It refers to the local National Football League team. The players behave like 5-year-olds at a clown party if they simply do what they are paid to do: Run five yards with the ball without falling down. But they are adored and revered, and papers and programs are full of QUIET If one of them DESPERATION them. buys a toothbrush, it’s a breaking story. You’ll get used to it. You won’t have a choice. I don’t give a Rick Upchurch about the Broncos, but they were here before I was, and that’s the way I have to look Craig Marshall at it. Smith I lived near Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, and heard touch-and-go’s all the time that rattled and rolled the house. Someone reminded me, “They were here before

you were.” I never got used to it, but I accepted it. There are words I avoid that have nothing to do with their overuse. I simply don’t care for them. “Arguably” is one of them. It has no meaning. It’s the same as saying nothing. “Arguably” means you haven’t made a commitment to what you are saying. It lets you off the hook. I prefer to be on the hook. It comes from being a schoolteacher. I learned that hedging got me nowhere. It was always best (I thought) to be forthright and honest. If I asked them to draw an apple, and one looked more like a quail, I might say, “You call that an apple?” I would never leave it at that, however. I would mention that very few apples have feathers or a beak. At one time, Look was a magazine, along with Life and The Saturday Evening Post. I preferred The Saturday Evening Post because of the covers. Many of

I overlooked it, and just studied his techniques, which were flawless. Illustration at one time was a top dog. I also admired Sir John Tenniel’s illustrations for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Lewis Carroll vividly described Alice and the other characters; Tenniel vividly depicted them. Now we have computer graphics, and true illustrations are rarely needed. Ask you children if they have ever heard of Rockwell. “Sam?” “No, not Sam.”

Setting goals sets us on the path to power

ere is the challenge, find someone who has achieved greatness, excellence, or has completed the pursuit of something worthy and meaningful. And when you find them ask them if it was by pure luck, or if they had set a specific goal. Or maybe ask them if they had planned and prepared on their way towards realizing their dreams. I spend a lot of time reading business books, biographies, and personal development books, articles and blogs. I probably spend even more time listening to podcasts and watching motivational videos to keep my mind focused on the pursuit of elevating my own game. Meeting and speaking with other successful people from all walks of life is also part of my cookbook when it comes to my own personal and professional development. The topic lately has been goal setting. Not just goal setting, but goal setting and the achievement of our goals and dreams. And just like I challenged you at the beginning of this column, I challenged myself to see if I could find anyone who has met with success

and who did not have a goal or plan, in advance of the realization of their dreams and goals. Whether I spoke with a very successful CEO, a top performing sales professional, a husband and wife, a teacher, a doctor, a student or a local entrepreneur, everyone I spoke with who had WINNING experienced success WORDS had planned for that success, prepared for that success, and set goals for themselves along the way. It was in 100 percent of the conversations. Many people I spoke with about goal setting said that they Michael Norton had goals, but when I dug in deeper, they could not clearly define them. Others I met argued that goal setting just wasn’t for them, they would rather wing it as winging it has gotten them this far in life.

and maybe it was significantly higher. They will share with you that they needed or wanted to lose that specific amount of weight. The husband and wife who set a goal for early retirement set a specific savings goal and had a supporting plan to get them where they wanted to be.

There are quotes and other short-form motivational materials to help us become and stay focused on our goals, all we have to do is Google “goal setting” or “goal setting quotes,” and we will find the sources that really connect us to the concept.

Do you have clearly defined goals and are well on your way to achieving your dreams? Do you take more of a “wing it” approach? Do you need help with a goals program?

‘Red Rocks Live’ captures spirit of venue

‘PLAY BALL!’

S Not quite Cooperstown, but in the ballpark

A collection of baseball bats are lined up in the form of Lou Gehrig’s swing, the Hall of Fame first baseman from the New York Yankees. The bats are organized chronologically featuring some of the biggest sluggers in the game, from Ty Cobb to Ken Griffey Jr. NICK PUCKETT

History Colorado Center shows baseball artifacts, memorabilia in Denver BY NICK PUCKETT NPUCKETT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

he one-of-a-kind bat swung by Ty Cobb, the former holder of the all-time hits record before Pete Rose. A room of historic team jerseys. Baseball’s role in the American story. You’ll find all of these displayed or explored at the “Play Ball!” exhibit at History Colorado Center. But the first thing you notice as you walk in, and which immediately gives you a sense of the sport’s humanity, is Babe Ruth’s palmprint — which may not be much larger than your own. “What this exhibition does really well is it has the pieces to get beyond just the player on the field and their heroics,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of History Colorado Center. The display of the Bambino’s palmprint is just the first part of the story the exhibit sets out to tell: That baseball is ingrained in American culture, and it doesn’t take a superhuman to do superhuman things. The exhibit, said Hanson, is meant to educate people on the athlete’s place in history rather than just the stats on the back of their baseball card. Coloradans have less than two remaining months to view one of the largest collection of baseball artifacts and memorabilia outside of Cooperstown, New York, at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver. The artifacts, memorabilia and photographs are only a fraction of Marshall Fogel’s expansive collection.

The “Play Ball!” exhibit has been open to the public since Major League Baseball’s Opening Day in March and will close on the last day of the season Sept. 30. The exhibit features artifacts from throughout the history of the game, including the nailed-together bat used by Cobb, San Francisco Giant outfielder Willy Mays’ glove and a hall of the game’s most iconic jerseys to take visitors through the evolution of the game. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for baseball fans,” said Jason Hanson, chief creative officer of the History Colorado Center and longtime baseball fan. “You can make the pilgrimage to Cooperstown (to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum). But if you can’t do that this year, you will feel pretty satisfied if you can make it to downtown Denver. “You can start from something people already love and help them understand how it fits into bigger currents of American history, bigger currents of Colorado’s history — and that is a really effective way to help people appreciate our shared history together,” Hanson added. The exhibit explores the game throughout time and draws parallels with significant events in American history, such as World War II and the Civil Rights movement. Learn how Babe Ruth paved the way for celebrities we know today like Kim Kardashian. Walk through some of the highest and lowest points of the game and some of baseball’s most infamous names like the 1919 Black Sox and the notorious heroes of the steroid era. The exhibit recently displayed the Holy Grail of baseball cards, the rare, mint 1952 Mickey Mantle card. The card is one of three in the world and, of those three, is considered to be the most pristine. Another version of the card is valued at almost $60,000 at

The display was only open for three days to keep the card preserved. “At a time when America was in turmoil, baseball games crossed all socio-economic, ethnic and political barriers and always brought people together. It still does,” said Marshall Fogel, the lifelong Denver man and owner of the collection and Mantle card. “When I think about this Mickey Mantle baseball card, I hold this same nostalgic feeling.” The exhibit takes visitors on a journey of the game’s history and doesn’t finish without acknowledging the unsung stars of the Negro League or taking a look back at the history of the game in the Centennial State. Of course, there’s also a nod to the 2007 Colorado Rockies, who reached the World Series but were swept by the Boston Red Sox. “We hope that this exhibit helps people remember how much fun it is to ... hang out with friends and family and watch a baseball game,” Hanson said.

ince Red Rocks Amphitheatre first opened as a concert venue, more than 2,000 performances have taken place on its stage by musicians in every genre imaginable. Which meant when the City of Denver started working on compiling an album of some of its best performances, there was no way all highlights could be included. “We knew we weren’t going to get close to providing a good look at the breadth of artists and performances we’ve had over the years,” said Brian Kitts, Red Rocks spokesperson. “What we tried to do was provide a taste of the many styles we’ve had here.” The end result is “Red Rocks Live,” a compilation three years in the making that features performances from 1978 to 2016. The three-LP limited edition vinyl collection is COMING available at Red ATTRACTIONS Rocks Trading Post and Visitor Center while supplies last. The album can also can be ordered on the Red Rocks website and is available in a digital format on iTunes, Amazon and other online outlets. Clarke Reader As Kitts explained, staff had to consider factors like copyright and recording quality when considering songs to select. A big get, he said, was U2’s 1983 performance of “New Year’s Day” from its famous “Under a Blood Red Sky” performance. Other highlights include a 1978 performance of “Ship of Fools” by The Grateful Dead and a 2015 performance of “Grapevine Fires” by Death Cab for Cutie. “We also wanted to include local artists that have become Red Rocks favorites,” he added. “We made sure to include The Lumineers and The Fray in the track list because they’re so popular here.” Since there was no way to get everything into the album, Kitts said he hopes it serves more as a kind of sonic memory capsule than a historical record. “When people listen to the album, they might remember being at the show or have memories about seeing the artist perform,” he said. “Seeing a show at Red Rocks is always magic, and every show here is special.” To order the album online, visit www.

BALLOT FROM PAGE 1

Under the proposal, that would change to 2 percent of the city’s number of active registered voters. The current system is pretty variable, since it depends on how many people cared about the most recent mayoral election. As a result, the requirement has swung up and down between about 4,000 and 6,000 signatures since 2003. The new proposal would “stabilize” that number, according to Councilman Kevin Flynn. If you were to go back in time and implemented the rules in previous years, it would have raised the requirement in some years and lowered it in others. “It normalizes those numbers, it normalizes the atmosphere,” said Councilman Paul López. “It’s good government. It’s responsible government.” For example, the contested mayor’s race in 2011 created a requirement of about 6,100 signatures. The proposed new rule would have required only 5,500. However, the proposal would raise the requirement for the upcoming 2019 municipal election — from about 5,000 signatures to more than 8,000 signatures. That’s because Denver’s population is booming, while the most recent mayor’s race was relatively quiet. With the change, Flynn said, cam-

paigners wouldn’t “have to worry, ‘Is there a competitive mayor’s race?’” But Councilwoman At-large Debbie Ortega asked whether the change was necessary. “Our process takes care of itself,” she said. “People find out how many signatures are going to be required.” The council voted 12-1 to put the question on November ballots, with Ortega dissenting. Some council members wanted to go further. López wanted a higher requirement — 2.5 percent of registered voters, which would have represented an increase for all recent elections. “Some of the feedback we got was this is just creating another barrier for democracy. It’s really not,” he said. Other cities have higher requirements, he said, like San Diego’s 10 percent of registered voters. And he said that the ballot process could be used for harmful causes. He pointed to the “impound law,” an ordinance approved by voters in 2008 that required the police department to impound cars, which was designed in part to target undocumented immigrants. “It normalized a racist practice,” said López, who successfully led the council to repeal the impound law in 2011. “I don’t want to block anybody from being able to do this. I cut my teeth on this work. But as our city grows, we have to make sure that we have a responsible line.” His push for a higher requirement was rejected in a 7-6 vote.

Councilmembers Kendra Black, Albus Brooks, Stacie Gilmore, Chris Herndon and Mary Beth Susman also supported López’s failed amendment. What else is on the ballot? As of July 23, eight local ballot initiatives have had their titles approved for petitioning for this November’s ballots in Denver. Only two have enough signatures so far to make the ballot: the Democracy for the People Initiative and the Denver College Affordability Fund Initiative. The Democracy for the People measure would require the disclosure of independent spending in elections; ban corporations, labor unions and other groups from contributing directly to campaigns; lower contribution limits; and create a fund of public money for candidates who agree to raise lower amounts of money. The college fund initiative would add a 0.08 percentage-point increase to the sales and use tax — about an additional penny on a $10 purchase — to fund college and technical scholarships for Denver residents. The council also has placed two items on the ballot: a sales tax for parks and the ballot initiative rule change.

TANGO

IF YOU GO Tango Colorado, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the Argentinan style of dancing, hosts milonga nights every Tuesday at the Denver Turnvererin, 1570 Clarkson St.

FROM PAGE 1

“Tango,” longtime dancer John Gardner said, “is a beautiful game of balance and connection between two people.” Gardner is president of Tango Colorado, a nonprofit dedicated to the Argentinian style of the dance form, which has called the Turnverein at 1570 Clarkson St. home since it was founded in 1996. The original small community of 30 Argentinestyle dancers has since grown to more than 500 active dancers from around the state. Besides the Tuesday milonga nights at the Turnverein, the organization also offers lessons at the Mercury Café in Five Points and other locations throughout Colorado. Gardner describes learning to tango as similar to walking. Leaders direct followers where to go and both shift their balance from leg-to-leg through the steps. Partners need to trust each other to keep that balance. Argentine tango also has several different styles, including open and close embrace. Close-embrace dancers stand tightly together while dancing, leaning in their heads. Husband and wife Jorge and Xiaoli Quispe can often be found on the floor Tuesday nights dancing the close embrace style of tango. As Xiaoli leans her head against Jorge’s, she closes her eyes, sure in her trust that Jorge will lead her across the floor.

The milonga is an open dance floor, where people dance in pairs, moving clockwise. Before the milonga, hour-long tango lessons are offered for $10, starting at 6:45 p.m. There are two levels of beginning classes and an intermediate class. The fee also includes the open floor time — for novice and master dancers alike — which starts at 7:45 p.m. and goes until 10:30 p.m. Dancers pay $10 at the door for the milonga on its own.

Tango Colorado also offers classes at the Mercury Cafe in Five Points at 2199 California St. and in Boulder and Colorado Springs.

Tango depends on the connection between dance partners. This pair danced together during an intermediate lesson at Tango Colorado. KAILYN LAMB “It’s trust and sharing a comon love for the music,” Jorge said. Xiaoli first came to Colorado from Dallas in 2011 to participate in one of Tango Colorado’s bi-annual tango events at the Pavilion in Cheesman Park. She is now treasurer of Tango Colorado, and owns her own CPA firm. Jorge works as a software developer. The pair met in Dallas when Jorge was in town on a business trip and he decided to visit the local tango venue there. Xiaoli and Jorge have

traveled the world performing tango, but said the community here is more diverse and tight-knit than in other places. Jorge grew up dancing tango in his native Peru, but has been dancing in Colorado for 10 years. At Tango Colorado, he said the community is small, but it makes sure that everyone is welcome. “As soon as a new person comes we get to know each other,” he said. “Tango is just a tool for the social aspect.”

On Memorial and Labor Day holidays, Tango Colorado has a free lesson and milonga session at the Pavilion in Cheesman Park, at 1900 E. 11th Ave. The lesson starts at 5 p.m., with the milonga following at 6 p.m. For more information, contact John Gardner, president of Tango Colorado at john@ tangocolorado.org. Vehill Dale didn’t expect to become entrenched in tango when she joined a class at Tango Colorado five years ago. Her goal then was to learn more about partner dancing for her ballroom classes. But all it took was one class, she said, and she was hooked. “You go and the music takes you to a different place,” she said. “You blend into it, you melt into it and you’re just in a different place.”
