hat does it take to cook turkey legs for upward of half a million people? Rick Seewald, the owner of Parker’s Sweet Lorraine’s Catering, is pretty straightforward about it: “Well, a really big grill helps.” Seewald and his crew will cook up thousands of turkey legs in a 200-square-foot booth at A Taste of Colorado, the legendary Labor

Day weekend event that transforms Denver’s Civic Center Park into a smorgasbord of the state’s culinary offerings. This year’s festival runs Sept. 1-3. Say “Taste of Colorado” to many Denver-area residents, and the first two things that come to mind are corn on the cob and turkey legs. But the Taste, now in its 35th year, is growing into a food and musical event to rival the state’s big bashes, said spokeswoman Cary Krukowski. “Best of all, admission is free,” said Krukowski. Organizers beefed up the Taste this year, with a main stage triple the size of the old one, Krukowski said.

IF YOU GO When: Saturday, Sept 1 to Monday, Sept. 3 Where: Civic Center Park, sandwiched between the Denver City and County Building and the Colorado State Capitol at Broadway and Colfax Ave. Cost: Admission is free, but food and vendors aren’t. Guests can book VIP tickets for concerts that offer food, drinks, and primo seats. One-day VIP tickets are $119 each (plus fees and taxes) and can be booked at atasteofcolorado.com.

The massive River Mile project took a step forward on Aug. 13 as the Denver City Council approved a bill establishing six metro districts that developers hope will ensure funding for the project’s eventual development. The city council unanimously passed a bill creating the six metro districts, voting 12-0. District 3 Councilman Paul D. López was not in attendance. The River Mile plan would create a new downtown district on a 60-acre property around Elitch Gardens. Andrew Johnston, from the city’s finance department, said the six new districts include one responsible for management that will be responsible for overseeing improvements; four special taxing districts that are specifically designed to generate money to pay for infrastructure; and one regional district that will help pay for possible developments near the South Platte River and nearby regional improvements. (This one will be optional for nearby property owners.)

Cooks settle beef in Denver Burger Battle Charities are big winner in yearly culinary contest BY CASEY VAN DIVIER SPECIAL TO COLORADO COMMUNITY MEDIA

Seven years ago, Denver resident Jeremy Kossler sat down at the counter of Crave Real Burgers, a restaurant in Castle Rock. He wasn’t in the restaurant by chance, and he wasn’t just any customer — he was the founder of the Denver Burger Battle and he’d come with an invitation. “He just sat at the counter and we talked all lunch long,” said Jeff Richard, who owns Crave with his wife, Jeryn. “And he’s like: ‘I want to invite you guys.’ ” Richard and his team decided to take that invitation, with ideal results. “We showed up and got third place the first year, and then we started knocking it out of the park,” he said. “So we’ll see what happens this year.” ‘Scouts’ help find best burgers Founded by Kossler in 2010, the Denver Burger Battle is an annual event that invites about 15 Colorado restaurants to cook their best burger and compete for votes of judges and attendees. This year, the event took place at University of Colorado-Denver’s Tivoli Quad Park on the evening of Aug. 2, drawing about 1,600 attendees. Since its first year, the event has raised more than $100,000 for the Kossler Foundation, which helps fund several charities in the Denver area. Kossler sold the event to Team Player Productions in November 2017, but he still remains involved by choosing which restaurants will be invited. “We’ll try about 70 burgers a year throughout the state of Colorado,” Kossler said. “I used to do it myself, and then I was like ‘OK, I’m gonna die if I do this.’” Kossler has since recruited “scouts” for the battle, many of whom are burger fanatics he has befriended over the years. “They’ll go out and try five, six burgers, and then write to me,” he said. “And now I know I kind of have a burger that the scouts say is really,

Stanya Gorriaz, left, works the Steamies Burger Bar booth alongside three generations of her family. “We got a phone call and they were like: ‘Your food’s amazing, we want you guys to be a part of this,’ ” Gorraiz said of the invitation to compete. “We were just so honored to be included.” CASEY VAN DIVIER really good.” Not long before this year’s event, those scouts were in Telluride, trying the food at Steamies Burger Bar. “We got a phone call and they were like ‘Your food’s amazing, we want you guys to be a part of this,’” said Stanya Gorraiz, who owns the restaurant with her husband, James. “We were just so honored to be included.” The scouts determined that Steamies would add variety to the competition. The restaurant, which steams its burgers, is “the only one in America doing what we’re doing in this way,” Gorraiz said. Technique wasn’t the only factor that set Steamies apart. The restaurant’s booth was a family operation, with members representing three generations of Gorraiz’s family, including her parents, husband and four children. The restaurant did not place in this year’s battle. But the family was enjoying spreading the word about the new Steamies’ location in Fort Collins, which is scheduled to open this fall. “Being with my family and rallying together, it’s just really special,” Gorraiz said. And “getting the word out is really exciting.”

WHO WON? At the end of the event, the Battle announced the winners of this year’s competition. Crave Real Burgers took second place in the People’s Choice competition with its Pop Top Camper Burger, a hamburger with jalapeño cream cheese that is now featured on the restaurant’s menu for a limited time.

Second place: Crave Real Burgers — Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Colorado Springs

The final standings were as follows:

First Place: Stanley Beer Hall, Aurora

People’s Choice

Second place: Park Burger, Denver

First Place: Hearth & Dram — Denver

Third place: Hearth & Dram, Denver

‘We’re part of a club’ Likewise, Crave — which this year took second in the People’s Choice category for its jalapeño cream cheese hamburger concoction — also has expanded since its first Burger Battle, with additional locations in Highlands Ranch and Colorado Springs. For Kossler, seeing the restaurant grow has been one of the most rewarding parts of the event, he said. “We were able to expose them to 2,000 burger-obsessed people, and in some ways, that led to them getting more popular and opening more res-

taurants,” he said. “I love that.” As for the team at Crave, the Burger Battle isn’t just a great opportunity for exposure—it’s become a tradition. “Almost all year long, we’re always saying ‘What are we doing for the battle, what are we doing for the battle?’ ” Richard said. “We already know what we want to do next year.” Across the board, all of the participants agreed: One of the competition’s best facets is the community of restaurants it creates. “All the restauranteurs are supercool,” Gorraiz said. “We feel like we’re part of a club.”

Uncovering layers of history Capitol Hill’s district boasts most historic preservations in the city BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Spending time walking Denver’s neighborhoods means that Beth Glandon learns something new about the city every time she goes out. And as director of Discover Denver, a volunteer program that surveys historic areas, she gets to do that often, studying homes and buildings throughout the city, searching for hidden gems of architecture and learning the history behind the brick and mortar. Whatever neighborhood she is working in at the time, Glandon said, becomes her favorite spot in the city. “It sounds kind of funny, but you fall in love with each neighborhood because you truly are looking at every building, you’re talking with the neighbors, you kind of become immersed in what’s happening there,” she said. For the past four years, Historic Denver, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving Denver’s historic architecture, has been working on a partnership with the city to survey a handful of neighborhoods at a time for landmark buildings. About 70 volunteers help with the nonprofit’s Discover Denver program,

which reviews buildings for interesting historic or architectural features. Historic Denver has already completed surveys in several Denver neighborhoods, including City Park West. The group began surveying Capitol Hill and Cheesman Park last October. How long it takes to finish a survey depends on the number of volunteers and the size of the neighborhood. The group spent a year surveying Virginia Village because of the area’s size. Discover Denver is not surveying areas that are already designated as historic districts. In addition to photographs, volunteers take notes on prominent architectural features or changes that have been made on the building, such as additions. Early growth In the city of Denver, Council Districts 9 and 10 have the highest concentration of protected properties, said Annie Levinsky, executive director of Historic Denver. Council District 9 includes City Park and City Park West as well as areas of north Denver and downtown. District 10 covers Capitol Hill, Uptown, Cherry Creek, Civic Center as well as Cheesman Park and Congress Park. Part of the reason for the large number of historic areas relates to the growth of the city in its early days. “Capitol Hill was not the first residential neighborhood, but it was

Volunteers with Discover Denver take notes on an apartment building in Capitol Hill. Volunteers look for interesting architectural features or designs on buildings to see if the building can be designated historic and given landmark status. COURTESY OF DISCOVER DENVER an early residential neighborhood,” Levinsky said. “It was the first really grand neighborhood.” People wanted to build their own grand mansion homes around the chosen location for the Capitol building, which was completed in 1894, Levinsky said. Later, multi-family residences such as apartment buildings began to take over the landscape in the Capitol Hill area.

Denver has more than 7,000 properties that are protected by landmark status, which means any changes or construction to the building requiring a permit from the city will need approval from the city’s Landmark Preservation office. The office has design guidelines it looks at to approve changes. SEE HISTORY, P6

Boards program prepares, places women STAFF REPORT

A new Women’s Leadership Foundation service prepares women for service on the boards of community institutions — including nonprofit organizations, hospitals, universities, commissions and others — and places them there. The Community Board Bound course features six evening sessions from Aug. 29 to Nov. 14. See the list of the courses and find registration information by going online to womensleadershipfoundation.org, then under “Board Bound,” click on “Community Board Bound.” “Community Board Bound builds on the success the Women’s Leadership Foundation has had in preparing highly qualified women in Colorado to serve on corporate and other boards,” M.L. Hanson, chair of the Community Board Bound committee, said in a news release. “Numerous studies have shown that organizations with three or more women on their boards deliver

superior performance and are better at risk management than those that don’t. Through Community Board Bound we hope to bring the demonstrated benefits of board diversity to institutions in our community including nonprofits, hospitals, universities, and commissions.” Hanson added that while women make up 66 percent of the staff of nonprofit organizations, the boards of directors of those organizations had less than one-third female representation. Course topics include: • Board types, governance and ethics, and leadership styles • Strategic planning, fundraising, and mission development • Communications, branding, marketing, and nonprofit leadership • Financial reporting, ﬁduciary responsibilities, and risk management • Strategies for interviewing for board positions The cost of the full course is $200, or particiants can attend individual sessions for $50 each.

The massive project could include 59-story skyscrapers and housing for up to 15,000 people that wouldn’t be completed until 2040 (when city officials believe Denver’s population could reach nearly 900,000 people). Developers Revesco Properties have previously said they would need $665 million or more in infrastructure to support the new district. So before they can build a new development, they would seek to pay for its infrastructure — for streets, water pipelines, parks and open spaces — by establishing a special taxing district. This would secure a funding stream to pay for its infrastructure grid. The city is still working out the kinks

for an overall development agreement and infrastructure plan, which Councilwoman-at-large Deborah Ortega said she hopes will take into consideration surrounding communities. Rhys Duggan, of Revesco, said the plan follows the downtown area’s plan, which includes ensuring more units for affordable housing. He added that he hasn’t had “detailed” conversation with community members about affordable housing options and jobs in the region, but the plans for River Mile do call for more affordable housing. Council members only had a few questions about its development. The Aug. 13 decision is the start of a longer process that will require additional approvals.

First Brighton Boulevard phase moves toward grand opening Spotty lane closures continue as greenery is planted along street BY ALLAN TELLIS DENVERITE.COM

We’re now within weeks of Brighton Boulevard’s grand opening, but if you’ve driven down the street lately, “open” probably wouldn’t be a word you would use to describe it. According to Heather Burke, a public information specialist at Denver Public Works, they still have some shrubs and trees to plant on the portion of Brighton Boulevard from 29th to 40th streets — and there will be intermittent lane closures up until they complete that work. When that section is complete, she says, they will be fully finished with phase one of the project (which is what the grand opening celebration was all about). In its entirety, this fourlane phase of the project has now taken 19 months. Nate Pappanhagen, 29, commutes through the area. He said driving became such a pain for

him that he now just rides his bike down the Platte around the construction zones. He lives downtown, and although he says biking through the cones and traffic is not the easiest task in the world, it’s still quite a bit better for him than trying to navigate his car through the neighborhood daily. Besides the detours and traffic, businesses in the area reportedly suffered during the height of the construction. The city is still a few months away from completing the full amount of work on Brighton, as phase two of the project will be dedicated to the northern part of the boulevard with work happening from 40th to 44th streets. They have completed their work on the east side of the street, but drivers can expect intermittent lane closures until the west side is complete. The National Western Center will be taking the lead on construction on Brighton from 47th Avenue to Race Court.

HISTORY FROM PAGE 4

A majority of the protected properties fall into historic districts. The districts cover a group of properties instead of an individual one. The sizes of Denver’s historic districts vary from a few houses to entire blocks or neighborhoods. About 330 individual properties are protected, Levinsky said.The remaining protected buildings fall under the 53 historic districts in the city. Historic districts range in size. Humboldt Island, which Levinsky said was the first residential historic district, consists of two blocks of houses near Cheesman Park. The Wyman Historic District, one of the largest in Denver, stretches from next to Cheesman Park at East 11th Avenue over to East 17th Avenue in Uptown. “The idea behind a district is just that you are trying to not only to protect the individual building, but also the context and the relationship among the buildings,” Levinsky said. “That relationship and setting has significance of its own right.” Rooted in Capitol Hill Historic Denver itself is rooted in Capitol Hill. In 1970, developers in Denver were eyeing Molly Brown’s former mansion at 1340 Pennsylvania St. Bulldozers were not imminent, Levinsky said, but neighbors began to be concerned the historic mansion would be lost to development. “They got together and came up with

a plan to purchase the house so it could become a museum,” Levinsky said. That concern led to the founding of Historic Denver, a nonprofit that works closely with the city to help identify buildings with potential for landmark preservation. Buildings that have been given landmark designation cannot be demolished or changed without city approval. The organization operates the Molly Brown House Museum to this day. Historic Denver is now located in the former Emerson School at 1420 N. Ogden St. The building is also a historic landmark. Historic Denver will host a Discovery Day there on Aug. 25 for neighbors looking to share or learn more about the history of the city. These type of community events, Glandon said, have helped the organization to learn more about the history of several buildings in the city. “We choose buildings because they’re interesting architecturally or we may get a tip from the neighbor that says ‘There’s a cool thing about this building,’” she said. “You can’t stand in front of a building and know what its history is.” While surveying the neighborhoods, volunteers found City Park West had less variance in types of architecture. Capitol Hill, on the other hand, has a mixture of mid-century apartment buildings and grand mansions. “One of the things that is really cool and unique about Cap Hill is the mix of architecture,” Glandon said. “You’ve got different layers of history within the neighborhood.”

A smaller stage will host musicians from around Colorado. The musical offerings are the largest in the festival’s history. The main stage musical lineup is split into three days. Saturday is classic rock, featuring REO Speedwagon, Firefall and George Thorogood. Sunday goes country with LeAnn Rimes, David Nail and Mitchell Tenpenny. Monday features an epic ‘90s throwback lineup: Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Everclear and Soul Asylum. “We’re taking the whole experience up a notch,” Krukowski said. “Denver has grown substantially in the last few years, and there are lots of people who have never attended A Taste of Colorado. We wanted to freshen it up while retaining the classic feel the diehards love.” New this year is the Capitol VIP Experience, where for $119 a ticket plus fees and taxes, guests can watch the big shows from a special deck beside the main stage, meet Broncos players, and kick back with exclusive meals and drinks. The festival will also host nearly 200 artisans and vendors in the Mountain and Plain Marketplace. True to the festival’s name, though, the heart and soul of the festival is the grub. More than 50 restaurants and food trucks will set

Expats from the City of Brotherly Love dig Large Marge’s because it’s the real deal, Carson said. “We use bread and shaved ribeye flown in at least twice a week from Philadelphia,” Carson said. “It’s not those little frozen hockey pucks of meat. It’s all fresh-cooked to order — no heat lamps here.” Food vendors bring their A-game to Taste, Carson said, which makes it a joy for restaurateurs too. “It’s so cool to see what others

very simple, yet common-sense practice as a way to fix this problem? Keeping in mind of course that common sense is not always common practice. The potential fix is to make sure that a very clear agenda is agreed upon before the conversation takes place. Even if we feel so strongly about wanting to talk “at” someone. If we are to be heard, we need to make sure that the playing field is level, and that the other person will be in active listening and participation mode. And we need to be in active listening mode too. The agenda is really very simple. First, we agree on the topic that we will be discussing. Secondly, we set the stage that we both might have questions about the topic or incident or subject and that we are both given permission to ask those questions. The third part of our agreed-upon agenda is that we will stay on topic and not drift into other areas that aren’t really relevant to the conversation we want to have. And lastly and most importantly we set the stage for a positive outcome at the end of our time together. Here’s how it might sound, “Mary, thanks for meeting with me today.

the last few association meetings we attended together. I would love to hear more about what you were thinking and some of your actions and responses, so is it okay if I ask you some questions while we are talking? I would also like to share a little about how that made me feel and I am sure you might have some of your own questions too. I really do appreciate our friendship, so I hope we can stay focused on this topic today and that by the end of our coffee time and conversation that we will both have a better understanding of how each other is feeling about our projects and our association meetings.

LIFE

Ryan “Cactus Jack” Clement, 38, has owned Castle Rock Tattoo and Laser Removal Co. for about three years, but has been tattooing for about 15. Tattoos are one of the oldest art forms, he said, and the craft of tattooing is “never going away.”

lthough Ryan “Cactus Jack” Clement was nervous about his first tattoo, it was nothing as nerve-wracking as jumping out of a plane — which he did in his military training. That’s when he got a biohazard cross symbol tattooed on his calf. “I dealt with nuclear biological and chemical weapons” in the military, he said. So “I felt it was something I had to have.” Today, Clement, 38, has spent 309 hours “under the needle” getting tattoos, which cover about 75 percent of his body. He has been a tattoo artist for nearly 15 years and is owner of Castle Rock Tattoo and Laser Removal Co. Tattoos are a life-changing experience and a way of expressing yourself with adornment, he said, and “they’re becoming more accepted as a work of art.” Where once tattoos were typically associated with bikers, sailors and outlaws — a rough-and-tough side of life — they have over recent decades become a form of artistic self-expression that is showing up on everyone from the waitstaff in the local neighborhood diner to business executives. “Your doctor or banker, even a

police officer, could have a tattoo and nobody would give it a second thought,” said Jill Raynor, 45, of Centennial, who has been getting tattoos since she was 17. “It’s just not so taboo anymore.”

The rise of tattoos The Smithsonian suggests tattoos date back more than 5,000 years, discovered on mummified humans from ancient Egypt; and on Ötzi, also known as the Iceman, a well-

preserved natural mummy of a man who lived between 3,400 and 3,100 BCE. Sixty-one tattoos were found on Ötzi’s body. In the U.S., tattoos can be connected to mid-18th century Native Americans, states TIME magazine, and became part of Western culture in the mid-19th century when Martin Hildebrandt set up shop in New York and tattooed Civil War soldiers for identification purposes. Modern tattoos might be attributed to Norman Keith Collins and his Sailor Jerry tattoos during the World War II era, said Bart Leonard, 28, a professional tattoo artist for nearly five years who recently started working at Adroit Tattoo in Golden. They started to become more mainstream during roughly the 1960s1990s, associated with rock-n-roll and punk, and gained momentum into pop culture in the 2000s, he said. The internet and social media may have helped, Leonard added, but especially reality TV shows such as “Miami Ink,” which aired from 2005-2008. Being a good tattoo artist used to be a “secretive craft,” in the sense that it was part of a subculture, and tattoo artists held onto their secrets, Leonard said. Nowadays, he said, perhaps because more of the public is excited about getting tattoos, more people are pursuing the trade. “It’s starting to open people’s eyes to the possibilities and all the cool artwork others are doing.” SEE TATTOO, P12

Castlewood Canyon marks flood’s 85th anniversary Dam failed in 1933, flooding Douglas County and Denver BY JESSICA GIBBS JGIBBS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Tom Johnston, a resident of Bonaventure Senior Living in Castle Rock, shuffled along trails in Castlewood Canyon State Park, roughly 15 miles away from home, when he ran into Chris Glaeser, a volunteer park naturalist. The 90-year-old man stopped to talk with Glaeser and catch his breath while the two spoke about memories from Johnston’s childhood. Johnston was on his way back from a cliff overhang where hikers can pause to overlook a valley, that day lush and green. The park is along Highway 83, roughly five miles south of Franktown. The valley, Johnston recalled, was where Lake Louisa stood until Aug. 3, 1933 when storm waters swelled its shores and the Castlewood Dam failed, sending millions of gallons of water as far north as downtown Denver. “It was a horrendous storm,” Johnston said. “Thunder and lightning and all that went with it.” The men wrapped up their conversation and Johnston headed back to a picnic area where he’d heard someone was grilling peach cobbler. More volunteers like Glaeser were there Aug. 4, serving up hot food to passing hikers and informing all who would listen of the flood of 1933. They dressed in 1930s garb, walked people through informational posters and replicas of the dam, all to mark the historic event’s 85th anniversary. There aren’t many people like Johnston left, Glaeser said, who can remember first-hand the lake and the dam and the flood’s aftermath. He was 5 years old the year the dam broke but Johnston explained to Glaeser how the lake was a thriving recreation area before the flood. He’d drive from his then home in south Palmer Lake with his family to watch people swim, although he was too young for a dip at the time, he said. Glaeser had dressed to portray Hugh Paine, the dam’s caretaker, today revered as a hero for his efforts in 1933. Paine lived on site and watched the evening of the flood as waters sloshed over the dam walls, which reportedly swayed under heavy rains and tornadic activity, said Pat Feldmeier, another volunteer naturalist. “He knew something was going to happen,” Feldmeier said. At approximately 1:20 a.m. Paine heard “the first rumbling of the flood,” as he wrote for the book, “The Night the Dam Gave Way,” published in 1998. After walking to the dam from his home, he saw “a wall of water” spilling over its top. “I could tell it was breaking,” Paine wrote. Paine’s phone line was down, but he sped 12-miles to Castle Rock, where he phoned Denver Police, so they could warn residents between the dam and Denver that floodwaters were coming.

Trails take hikers to the top and base of what remains of the Castlewood Dam, which broke in 1933, causing major floods from areas near Franktown to Denver. He’s credited for saving many lives that night, Glaeser said, and so is Nettie Driskill, portrayed by Feldmeier, a phone operator who helped warn others to evacuate. It took nearly six hours, but by the end, Lake Louisa drained and settled in Denver. Two deaths were reported and on Aug. 4 the Rocky Mountain News’ headline reported property damage of $1 million, although that number grew, Glaeser said. Most visitors of the park earlier this month were families, unaware the event was taking place. They’d come to the park to hike. Lindsay Larimer said her family of four was “pleasantly surprised” to find the information booths. She, her husband Craig, their son Everett and daughter June, traveled from Colorado Springs to hike, but took a moment to learn about the 1933 flood. Feldmeier said that’s what they hoped — for people to enjoy the park but leave with information. “We try to make the public aware,” she said, “of some of the things that have gone on in the park.”

TATTOO FROM PAGE 10

But downfalls do exist, he said. The increased accessibility to the profession — he points out all the equipment can now be bought online — contributes to people tattooing others without proper training or sterilization techniques. And, of course, there’s always the chance of a lack-luster tattoo. Tattoos are addictive — it’s rare for a person to have just one, said Billi Carwile-Braukoff of Centennial who, at 39, has tattoos on about 40 percent of her body. Anybody who has many tattoos has at least one he or she isn’t fond of or would have rather done without, she said. “Some people get them covered up,” Carwile-Braukoff said, “but some people keep them because they’re a conversation starter. They’re a part of a story.” Finding the right tattoo artist is key Part of what’s cool about the experience of getting tattooed is that it’s a permanent change, said Russ Pearson, who opened True Blue Tattoo in Lakewood in 2008. “With a little effort — and a bit of pain and money,” he said, “you’ve made a forever change to your body.” Everybody has his or her personal reason for getting a tattoo, Raynor said, and the experience for each person is just as diverse as buying a car, choosing a neighborhood to live in or pursuing a career path. Tattoos can be a way of self-expression, a life guidance such as a biblical quote, a work of art, a tribute or a way to remember an experience, Raynor said. Raynor points to her sugar skull tattoo — a tribute to loved ones she’s lost. Sugar skulls are a representation of death and mortality and traditionally used to decorate the gravestones on the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos. “Every time I look at it,” Raynor said, “I remember and celebrate their lives.” No matter if it’s your first tattoo or your 50th, it should be a fun experience, said Samantha Schneider, 27, of

Bart Leonard, 28, has been tattooing professionally for nearly five years and is currently employed at Adroit Tattoo in Golden. CHRISTY STEADMAN Thornton who got her first tattoo — a small treble clef — as a birthday gift from her parents when she was 16. Therefore, she said, it’s important to research the tattooist’s artistic style as well as his or her personality. “You’re going to be there for hours, so you want to be super-comfortable and make sure you vibe with them,” she said. Not only that, a person should lean on the artist’s professional input, so “you want to make sure the artist is going to guide you in the right direction for a tattoo that’s true to what you want.” Carwile-Braukoff admits the actual experience of getting a tattoo is unpleasant — it hurts and being in the shop for a lengthy amount of time can get uncomfortable. “But that doesn’t keep me away,” she said. “I love the way they look when they’re done. Lakewood resident William Ryan, 48, got his first tattoo in 1996. It is a symbol that represents his name. “For me,” he said, “it was rediscovering my identity after my divorce.” Since then, he’s gotten some tattoos that he’s “extremely proud of ” and others that he regrets— all are “windows” of his journey. “They are permanent benchmarks of milestones in my life,” Ryan said. “They let you look into a past experience and remember when and why you got it.”

Harris tackles new role for Broncos with Talib gone Cornerback assumes role of top player, leader in Denver’s secondary BY ARNIE STAPLETON ASSOCIATED PRESS

Chris Harris Jr. is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. For the first time in his eight-year NFL career, he’s actually the top cornerback on his own team. Harris has played alongside Champ Bailey, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Aqib Talib during a stellar career that began with him as an undrafted free agent out of Kansas and includes three trips to the Pro Bowl and two All-Pro honors to go with a Super Bowl ring. The Broncos traded Talib, whom Harris first played with in college, to the Los Angeles Rams in a cost-cutting move this offseason, ending the duo’s four-year run together in Denver and thrusting Harris into a new, leading role. Now, he’s not only being asked to lock down opponents’ top receivers but serve as the unquestioned leader at his position. He’s handling those responsibilities “really well in my opinion,” coach Vance Joseph said. “As a leader, I’ve been really impressed with Chris. He’s

stuff we have to get on the same page with just chemistry-wise that me and `Lib did so easily,” Harris said. “It was just so easy that you never realized that you have to work for that with someone else. Right now we’re getting out there. I think we’ve been pretty on point with it so far.’’ Asked how long it will take to get that chemistry with Roby, Harris laughed. “As soon as Roby gets it,” he said. “It shouldn’t take long as long as he gets it. Once he gets it we’ll be on the same page. Me and `Lib used to come out on the field — bam! If he sees something, I see it. We kind of talked to each other fast and then we can start playing ball. Once Roby and I get there, then I know we’re fully ready.” The Broncos brought on veteran Tramaine Brock, but he’s been dealing with a pulled hamstring, opening up opportunities for rookie Isaac Yiadom, who’s been taking more of the snaps from second-year pro Brendan Langley as the third cornerback. “I’m not surprised,” Harris said. “Isaac, he’s been able to make plays. He’s working his tail off every day, listens. He’s a smart player, so I’m not surprised at all. B-Lang, he hasn’t been playing corner his entire life. It’s kind of like he’s still learning a lot. It just has to be consistent and I know he’s doing a lot of extra work with the coaches to make sure he’s consistent. They both have freakish talents.’’

Broncos rookie Chubb hitting all right notes in camp BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Denver Broncos are singing the praises of rookie outside linebacker Bradley Chubb — even if carrying a tune isn’t necessarily his specialty. The No. 5 overall pick recently paired with fellow rookie Courtland Sutton to perform a duet in front of the team. “I messed up the lyrics a little bit,” Chubb said. No big deal. They didn’t bring him in for his voice, just his voracious intensity. In that respect, he’s hitting all the right notes. Chubb believes this group of pass rushers can create quite a bit of

“chaos” this season. The defense even has a scheme dubbed “NASCAR’’ to take advantage of the speed and power of Chubb, Von Miller, Shane Ray and Shaquil Barrett. Simply put: It gets all of them on the field at the same time to wreak havoc. “Now that will be dangerous,’’ Ray said. “You can’t block any of us oneon-one. It would be too tough, especially if you have all four of us in the game. We have the guys to get a lot of sacks this year.” Chubb was a surprise pick by the Broncos mainly because he wasn’t predicted to fall to them. Miller even posted his reaction on Instagram — complete with a scream. So far, the 6-foot-4, 275-pound Chubb has been just as advertised through

training camp. “What we saw in college we’ve seen some out here,’’ coach Vance Joseph said. Watching him play versus NFL tackles and tight ends, it hasn’t been a setback for him. He’s a strong guy. He can set an edge. He can rush the passer.” The pressure to produce out of the gate doesn’t faze Chubb in part because he has Miller & Co. next to him. The 22-year-old is all ears these days in meetings and on the field. He’s taking in every piece of advice offered to him to get up to speed. “I just need to keep coming out and working,” said Chubb, who had 26 sacks, 203 tackles and eight forced fumbles while at North Carolina

State. “Having a lot of rushers and a lot of good players who can get to the quarterback out there on the same field and at the same time, I feel like it’s going to be chaos. “That’s what we’re trying to do, cause chaos.” Chubb’s versatility allows defensive coordinator Joe Woods to get even more imaginative with his schemes. Woods plans to use Chubb at outside linebacker, defensive end and even drop him into coverage. Chubb is looking forward to is rushing quarterbacks. “We’re all coming out here with the same mindset,” Chubb said. “We all want to be great and we’re pushing each other to be great. When we’re all going, it’s going to be pretty special.”
