Families from all over Lakewood and Jefferson County recently filled Belmar shopping center for the first Big Belmar Bash.
The July 3 bash is the first Independence Day celebration collaboration between the city of Lakewood and the Belmar Downtown Lakewood shopping center.
The organizers estimate between 8,000 and 10,000 people attended the event.
The shopping center general manager Heidi Westlund was excited about the collaboration.
“We are delighted to partner with the City of Lakewood for Big Belmar Bash,” she said. “It is an exciting opportunity to bring people together in Belmar Downtown Lakewood to celebrate Independence Day as a community.”
The Belmar Downtown businesses turned out with
events for the family. Dicks Sporting Goods had a free throw challenge for kids. Barbed Wire Beef was one of the many food trucks that parked to feed the crowd. Local businesses, civic organizations, radio stations, artisans and more had booths throughout the space.
One of the businesses, Foothills Credit Union, gave out glow necklaces, glow bracelets and glow wands that the kids used to light up the gathering spaces after dark.
The food, music and fun went on until dark. Then drones took over with a show that was environmentally friendly, fire safe and could be seen well beyond the limits of the shopping center.

People suspected of shooting fireworks at homeless encampments were taken into custory by Lakewood Police Department and released pending charges, according to a department press release.
Around 1:45 a.m. July 6, a Lakewood Police Sergeant was on patrol when he saw a disturbance at the intersection of W. Colfax Avenue and Teller Street.
According to the press release, a white sedan was seen traveling up and down Colfax shooting fireworks at homeless encampments.
An unhoused man confronted the people shooting fireworks and threw a rock through the vehicle’s back window.
The sedan drove away but then returned to the scene. The sergeant fired one round but did not injure anyone, according to the press release. The cause of
the shooting is still being investigated.
The sergeant involved has been placed on administrative leave while the Jefferson County Critical Incident Response Team investigates the officer-involved shooting., according to the press release.
This past weekend I had an interesting conversation with fellow “seniors” who are contemplating their next step in life.
They own a single-family detached home with lots of yard work to keep it looking beautiful. They love their home but feel the need to simplify their life as they age. (They’re in their 70s.)
Their options vary from downsizing to a patio home, moving to a 55+ rental (which Rita and I did last year), or moving out-of-state or out of the country. The political turmoil is what’s behind the last option, and Portugal has caught their attention.
This couple is also feeling an urgency to choose, because they know this is the time of year when the landscaping looks its best, and they don’t want to miss that window of opportunity.
Putting my “consultant” hat on, I had some insights of my own to share with them.
My first insight was that you don’t want to wait until you have to sell, such as from illness or death of a spouse. This couple is in excellent health, and that’s
what you want when you undertake such a serious life change.
My second insight was that renting is actually a great way to procrastinate, taking the pressure off choosing those other options. As a renter, you get to decide a year from now when your one-year lease expires. At that time you can buy that patio home, move locally, out-of-state or to Portugal — or you can renew your lease and put off the decision for another 12 months.
As a renter, especially in an apartment building or 55+ community, you are free to travel and check out all those options. And, since you sold your house already, you could be a cash buyer if buying is what you decide to do.
Selling your current house and buying a replacement home at the same time can be really strenuous in terms of moving. If you rent, you can take your time to move out of your current home, and you can take your time again when you decide to buy next year or the year after.
A third insight is financial. This couple owns their house “free and clear.”
When they sell, they’ll have nearly a million dollars that they can invest, enhancing their retirement income. That equity isn’t earning them anything sitting in their paid-for home. The income from the proceeds of selling will likely exceed what they pay for rent.
Lastly, they’ll be able to enjoy worryfree vacations. As a renter, they’ll be in a “lock-and-leave” environment like Rita and I are — able to go on cruises or other trips without any concern about breakins, snow-shoveling, lawn care or frozen pipes.
As a Realtor and homeowner, I never
thought that I’d be a renter again, but I could tell that we were at the top of the market and that by “cashing out” on our single-family home in Golden, we’d have the freedom to make another decision at any time later on and not have to worry about anything. And because we had to downsize to sell our 4,000-sq.-ft. home and move into an 1,100-sq.-ft. apartment, that hard work was behind us. It was a great feeling when that downsizing was complete.

Starting this month, I am partnering with Megan Aller (right) of First American Title, in providing a statistical analysis of the prior month’s real estate activity in the Denver metro area. Megan is renowned for her diligent and in-depth analysis of the market, so, while this is under my byline, I am really conveying what she has told me.
As the Denver market enters a cooler season, the landscape is undergoing a notable shift with rising inventory and falling demand. This phenomenon, known as retraction, is causing a seasonal decline in prices as the balance between supply and demand evolves.
Both attached and detached homes currently have a supply of 1.3 months, indicating limited inventory. However, experts predict supply will likely increase in the coming months. The shift towards a cooler market creates a favorable environment for prospective buyers. With a decrease in multiple offers and the potential for price adjustments, buyers have an opportunity to make their move in a less competitive market. Whether they are first-time homebuyers or looking to upgrade, the current market conditions present an opening for strategic decisionmaking.

Recent data reveals a decline in the occurrence of multiple offers. For detached single-family homes, the percentage of properties selling for over asking price dropped by 4.7%, settling at 41.1%. Similarly, attached residences experienced a 2.0% decrease, with 37.4% of homes selling for over asking price.
While attached single-family home prices experienced a minor dip of 0.1%, averaging at $480,656, detached singlefamily home prices rose by 1.7% month over month, reaching an average price of $796,702.

When the Denver Museum of Nature & Science was looking for di erent ways to engage with the community, sta kept receiving a similar request through its community outreach.
Feedback included statements such as: “We love going to the museum, but we will love it more if it comes to us” and “Can you imagine the museum showing up in our neighborhood like an ice cream truck, but with science?”
“ ese comments inspired us to explore ways to bring the museum experience directly to the neighborhoods, making it more accessible and convenient,” said Daniel Ville, the museum’s manager for community engagement.
e newly launched Curiosity Cruiser is the museum’s response to these requests. It is a kind of museum on wheels — one that brings
activities and education to the inquisitive of all ages.
“ ere was a massive amalgamation of ideas, prototyping, design, redesign and collaboration, with not just our internal sta and partners,” said Zack Garvin, community event specialist. “We did our homework with the community as well. So, the Curiosity Cruiser was designed for multigenerational groups involving adults and families.”
Currently the Cruiser has three di erent exhibits to o er visitors:
Wonder-osity, Flavorology and Spicy: Revealed. Experts travel with the vehicle to connect with visitors and run the exhibits.
Wonder-osity provides participants with the opportunity to solve a mystery centered on missing hikers, and encourages critical thinking and the power of keeping an open mind. Flavorology immerses participants in the world of the ve tastes — bitter, spicy, umami, sweet and sour — to teach about the differences between taste and avor.
Look for the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s Curiosity Cruiser at these summer events in Denver:
Family Nature Adventure Day at Blu Lake
July 15: 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Mile High Flea Market
Aug. 6: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Huerta Urbana Farmers Market
Aug. 11: 2-6 p.m.
Cherry Creek Farmers Market
Aug. 19: 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Find more information on the cruiser, including stops that are outside of Denver, at dmns.org.
And Spicy: Revealed delves into the science behind spicy foods and avors.
“ ere are so many basic things that people do all day, everyday with fascinating scienti c explanations,” Garvin said. “Our three themes explore how you interact with the world around you and understanding it through the scienti c method.”
Designed to be highly mobile and adaptable, the cruiser has already
appeared at events such as Adams County Pride, the Juneteenth Music Festival and Denver PrideFest. In addition to large community events like these, it can also be brought to smaller-scale happenings like block parties and breweries.
“ e activities o ered on the Curiosity Cruiser are carefully crafted to ensure they appeal to a wide range of interests and abilities,” Ville said. “From fun personality quizzes to hands-on experiments, the experiences provided are designed to spark curiosity, foster learning and encourage active participation.”
Not only does the cruiser meet residents where they are, it also provides a critical service by demystifying scienti c concepts and offering informal ways to learn about complicated concepts.
“Providing everyone with the understanding that you, too, are indeed a scientist — by very de nition — can help inspire and foster creativity,” Garvin said. “Everyone deserves to know just how brilliant they are. If we can come bring that to your neighborhood, all the better.”
It isn’t often that an institution like the DMNS can respond directly
to community feedback and meet people exactly where they are, but the Curiosity Cruiser allows the museum to do both.
“ e Curiosity Cruiser’s content has been thoughtfully created to address community voices and provide welcoming spaces,” Ville said. “ e goal is to leave people with smiles on their faces, fostering a love for learning, and nurturing their curiosity for the world around them.”

James Harvey remembers when there were two Air Forces.
“One comprised us, and the other was for the whites,” explained the soon-to-be centenarian from his home in Lakewood, Colorado.
Harvey knows this as fact because he’s one of just a handful of remaining Tuskegee Airmen, a group of Black military pilots and airmen who fought not only against enemy aircraft but against overt racism in the same Air Force they pledged to serve.
Born July 13, 1923, in Montclair, New Jersey, James H. Harvey III was the oldest of four children born to James and Cornelia Harvey. He attended high school in Pennsylvania, where he was an outstanding student, the captain of the basketball team, class president, and graduated as valedictorian.
Harvey said he never encountered much racism until he raised his right hand, swore an oath to serve and protect his country — and entered the segregated U.S. Army.
Drafted in 1943, he was soon reassigned to the Army Air Corps, the predecessor of today’s modern U.S. Air Force.
Harvey will tell you in great detail that things in the military were di erent back then.
Very di erent — especially if you were a Black man.
“You just go with the ow,” said Harvey of how he coped. “You just go with the ow or something happens — something mysteriously happens. So, I just went with the ow.”
When asked why he did, he replied, “Because I wanted to live.”
Harvey settled into military service, classi ed as an engineer. As the war in the Paci c raged, engineers were needed to build and maintain the many makeshift jungle runways used by American forces. But Harvey was more interested in ying planes than building places for them to land. So, he applied to the Aviation Cadet Training Program in hopes of being accepted into the Tuskegee Flight Training Program in Alabama, a separate school designated for Black pilots.
In 1925 the U.S. Army War College released called “ e Use of Negro Manpower in War.” Many say this report “set the overall tone” for how the military viewed Black men. e report stated they “lacked intel-
ligence and were cowardly under combat conditions” and lacked the “ability to operate complex machinery.”
To prove this, the U.S. Army set up an “experiment” in 1941 to prove the ndings of the War College Report.
Tuskegee was an experiment that was designed to fail — to prove that Black men didn’t have the capacity to y.
But instead, the program produced some of the nation’s most pro cient ghter pilots.
“I applied. I was accepted,” said Harvey. “However, I had to take an examination rst, and there were 10 of us that reported to Bolling Field to take this test — nine whites and myself.”
Both Black and white candidates took the same preliminary tests to get into the Aviation Cadet Program. Black pilots, however, would be trained at a segregated eld in Alabama.
Testing for this program was known among servicemembers to be notoriously rigorous and particularly unforgiving.
“Well, we took the examination, did everything they wanted us to do, and when the dust cleared, there were only two of us standing — this white guy and myself,” Harvey said.
Long were the hours and challenging were the tasks for Harvey, a selfdescribed perfectionist.
“If everything is perfect, there’s no challenge after that,” he said. “I never dreamed or thought about washing out in ying school. I knew I was gonna make it because I did everything right.”
Because, as a Black man, he had to.
“You only had so many hours or days to learn something and if you didn’t, you were out. It’s that simple,” Harvey said. “You only had a certain amount of time to learn something and if you exceeded that time, you were gone.”
When asked if he’s still a perfectionist, he grins.
“Well, I’m back at it,” he laughs. “I got married, so that was kind of the end of the perfectionism, but my wife passed, so I’m back at it again.” Perfectionism.
“I’ve always been that way,” Harvey said. “Like Disney, when I was growing up… the Disney characters, I’d sit down and draw them — they were better than what Disney put out!”
Former fighter pilot who served in the once-segregated U.S. military talks missions, a missing trophy and which ‘Top Gun’ movie he prefersRetired Lt. Col. James Harvey III looks forward to his big birthday bash to celebrate his 100th year. The former fighter pilot and Tuskegee “Top Gun” says when it comes to the Tom Cruise “Top Gun” movies, “I liked the first one better.”
don’t think Minnie was on the scene yet.”
So, what should we call you?
Harvey earned his wings at Tuskegee Army Air Field on Oct. 16, 1944, near the end of the war. A graduate of Class 44-4, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant and began his career as a ghter pilot.
While many Tuskegee Airmen were already ying in Europe, protecting heavy bomber aircraft on their way to strategic targets, Harvey did not get that opportunity.
“ at’s because Hitler knew I was coming and he gave up the following month,” he joked. “I was supposed to ship in April 1945. And I had my bags packed, ready to catch the train, and I got a message the war was over and they expected the wind-up of the whole European theater.”
On July 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, creating the President’s Committee on Equality of Treatment and Opportunity in the Armed Services and banning segregation in the Armed Forces.
Harvey says the order was a step in the right direction, but it also meant his unit would be disbanded and its personnel integrated into other units that would “have” them.
les — which included their o cial photos — were forwarded to the gaining military unit.
“So, you see, the wing commander had our picture,” Harvey said. “So, Eddie and I report to Misawa, Japan, and before we got there, he had all the pilots report to the base theater and he told them, ‘We have these two Negro pilots coming in and they will be assigned to one of the squadrons.’ e pilots said, ‘No way are we going to y with them. No way.’”
Harvey said he and Drummond were told about the meeting by the pilots themselves.
Regardless of the sentiment, Harvey and Drummond were there to stay and were assigned to a unit ying the Lockheed F-80 Shooting Star.
As they wrapped up their initial meeting, Harvey said the man who would be their new wing commander casually asked, “So, what do you want us to call you?”
An uncomfortable moment of silence ensued.
“I said, ‘Well, I’m a rst lieutenant and Eddie Drummond is a second lieutenant… how about lieutenants Harvey and Drummond?’”
In January 1949, the newly-
nery meet to be held at Las Vegas Air Force Base, Nevada.
It was o cially called the United States Continental Gunnery Meet, which would later evolve into the USAF William Tell Competition. Other derivatives would include Gunsmoke and Red Flag.
Harvey’s unit, the 332nd Fighter Group, selected 1st Lt. Harvey III, 1st Lt. Harry Stewart Jr., and Capt. Alva Temple. ey were all Black pilots, including the alternate pilot, 1st Lt. Halbert Alexander.
“We met with Col. Davis (Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Jr.), prior to leaving for the competition,” Harvey said. “We chit-chatted, and his nal remark was, ‘If you don’t win, don’t come back.’ And with those words of encouragement, o we went.”
It was May 1949.
e competition for “Top Gun” would prove formidable in the conventional piston category, ying the North American P-51 Mustang and the North American F-82 Twin Mustang.
ese were some of the best pilots and aircraft maintenance teams in the country ying some of the most advanced aircraft in inventory.
“And we’re ying the obsolete P-47 underbolt,” Harvey said “It was big, clumsy — and heavy.”
“Well, we won the meet,” said Harvey. “Our closest competitor was the P-51 out t… they were only 515,000 points behind us.”
They were the winners, but…
Each year, the Air Force Association publishes an almanac citing overall force strength, statistics and such — including all winners of the weapons meet from 1949 through the present day.
“But, each year when that almanac came out, the winner of the 1949 weapons meet was mysteriously listed as ‘unknown,’” Harvey points out. “We didn’t nd out, we, meaning us, the Tuskegee Airmen, didn’t nd out about this magazine until 1995.”
It was only by chance Harvey’s group commander stumbled across an almanac and noticed the winner of the 1949 U.S. Air Force Weapons Meet was “unknown.”
e almanac was corrected in April 1995 to show the 332nd Fighter Group as the o cial winners of the 1949 weapons meet.
ough the records were xed, one more mystery would remain.
‘That trophy will never be on display’ As winners of the rst Air Force “Top Gun” competition in the
Foot tra c on Colorado’s highest peaks tumbled 33% in 2022 from the record 415,000 hiker days logged in 2020.
e annual Hiking Use Estimates report by the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative recorded an estimated 279,000 hiker use days during the 2022 season. at’s about 24,000 fewer hikers than in 2021, which saw 303,000 hiker days, and a dramatic drop from 2020’s record of 415,000 hiker days.
ough some ebbs and ows are expected in hiker data due to drought or snowpack, Lloyd Athearn, executive director of the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative, worries that the last year’s decrease is in part an overreaction to the high-tra c pandemic year.
For instance, in 2021, Clear Creek County posted “No Parking” signs along the road that people traditionally parked along to access Grays and Torreys peaks. And in 2022 a reservation system was in e ect for the full season on Quandary, the fourteener that has consistently topped the hiker use charts since recording began.

“It’s sort of curious to me. Just as we’re getting close to having almost every fourteener with some kind of intentional route on it — something we’ve been working on for decades, and that the state has spent millions of dollars on — now the communities are saying, ‘we don’t want people here,’” Athearn said. “It’s like we built an interstate highway and all of a sudden the towns start saying they’d rather people run out the county roads.”
ough almost all of the fourteeners experienced a decline in tra c, the numbers and impact are not evenly dispersed. Overall, the state experienced an 8% decrease in trafc. is, in itself, is not particularly alarming. e pandemic year, when people got bored of fearing for their lives inside, created a high watermark of tra c. Even the double-digit decrease from 2020 to 2021 was something to be expected.
e Mosquito Range and the Elk Mountains are the only groups that did not see decreases.
e Elks near Aspen — which consist of Castle Peak, Maroon Peak, North Maroon, Capitol Peak, Snowmass Mountain, Conundrum Peak, and Pyramid Peak — showed roughly the same
number of hikers as last year, at 7,000. e Mosquito Range, just east of Leadville, actually increased its hiker count to almost double — to 32,000 in 2022 from 17,000 in 2021 — because of a two-month closure of Mount Lincoln, Mount Democrat and Mount Bross in 2021.
e most drastic decrease was on Quandary Peak, just south of Breckenridge, which saw roughly 13,000 fewer hiker days in 2022 than in 2021. Athearn speculated that a season-long reservation system and the introduction of a shuttle fee in 2022 drove down that number. e next steepest losses came from the Sawatch Range, west of Buena Vista, which hosted 11,500 fewer hiker days, followed by the San Juans at 10,000 fewer hiker days. e Front Range peaks, including some of the most accessible fourteeners like Grays and Torreys, Mount Evans, and Mount Bierstadt, lost about 3,000 hiker days, while the Sangre de Cristos rounded out the losses with 1,500 fewer hiker days.
Athearn isn’t unsympathetic to the concerns of local communities.
In rural mountain towns, residents face the consequences of high visitor numbers— acutely felt in labor and housing prices — and a loss of the serenity that many moved there for in the rst place. Last month, a report by Montana’s Headwaters Economics outlined the paradoxical challenges of living in a mountain town so plentiful with natural features that its allure brings in crushing numbers of visitors and secondhome owners, thereby degrading the quality of life for locals. e report called this type of town an “amenity trap.”
ose fears carry over to natural spaces. e dialogue about “overloved” natural resources is wellfounded in Colorado, and many heavily tra cked areas have implemented strict permit systems to try to do some damage control.
What Athearn is wary of is the knee-jerk reaction by local communities who see more people and immediately want to regulate rather than invest in better infrastructure.
“Some people think we need to permit everything, but you have to think, who are the people that really bene t? People who have exible schedules, who can book a trip six months in advance,” Athearn said.
“What about someone who works a retail shift and might not know they can get out until the day before?
Who are the people that will get access to public lands, versus those who will feel locked out or that the system is too Byzantine to navigate?”
With so much focus on diversifying
when you shop, bring your bag
public lands, and on reducing barriers to entry like cost, Athearn nds it strange that communities also want to start charging people for something that was traditionally free.
“We’re at this crosscurrent,” he said about the future of the fourteeners. “What do people actually want?” is year, the heavy and latestaying snowpack is going to have an impact on the hiking season. at much CFI is expecting. Overlaid on those natural conditions are an increase in parking and reservation fees, and an increase of private land closures — more than 10% of the fourteener’s summits are on private land — due to liability issues.
e way that those three forces will impact hiker numbers this year concerns Athearn.
“I worry that we’re going in this negative direction where people are just saying ‘there’s too much. Too many people, too many dogs, too much whatever, and so let’s just stop,’” Athearn said during a recent fourteener safety panel. “Is this a canary in the coalmine for our recreation-based economy?”
Another driver of what Athearn called the knee-jerk, “shut o the tap” reaction, is the fallacy that more people means more damage.
In 2015, CFI’s trail condition report card, an assessment that they conduct every four years, gave the Quandary Peak trail a C+. at year the trail hosted 18,000 people, according to the hiker use report. CFI used that information to prioritize the Quandary trail’s improvements.
In 2018, the next iteration of the report card, the trail received an A-. It hosted 38,000 people that year. “ ere were more than twice the amount of people on it, but the trail was better,” Athearn said. He em-
phasized that high numbers don’t necessarily mean high impact. “If you have a good trail, people are going to follow it like cattle. Nose to tail,” he said. “And that’s a good thing, right? at means they’re not going to be going o trail, picking owers, damaging the ecosystem.” Higher concentrations of visitors on popular peaks is also a boon for local search and rescue crews.
“From a rescue standpoint, to go back up the same trail again to rescue someone with a broken ankle, it gets a little monotonous,” Je Sparhawk, executive director of Colorado Search and Rescue, said. “But, if we
had to go search for people all over the place, searches take a long time. And that’s volunteer time. at’s time away from work or time away from family.”
Sparhawk added that locals go wherever they want to go. ey understand tra c patterns, and know where they can nd solitude.
e majority of rescues that COSAR conducts are for out-of-state visitors. Sparhawk hesitated to say it aloud, but added that keeping those travelers on a few consolidated peaks makes COSAR’s job easier.
Athearn recently had the opportunity to talk with climbers on Grays
while a helicopter ew logs to the summit. While he was holding the foot tra c back, he asked where all of the climbers were from. “I recall only about ve people from Colorado,” he said. “ ere was an extended family from St. Louis, a woman from Maryland, a man from Wisconsin, some people from Los Angeles, Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee.”
Ultimately, Athearn encouraged Coloradans to think more broadly. “ e thing that’s always hard for communities to understand is that these are our national forests and our national parks,” he said. “ ey may be located largely in the West, they may be in our backyards, but they’re really owned by all the people in the USA.”

Booms criss-cross a small creek along Kerr Gulch Road near Kittredge on July 10 after a tanker carrying 8,300 gallons of fuel overturned on July 6. e booms absorb any fuel that spilled into the creek.
e driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and it is not known how much fuel leaked out, though it doesn’t appear to be extensive, according to Evergreen Fire/Rescue.
Crews from Evergreen Fire/Rescue and West Metro Fire with help from the Evergreen Metro District and Denver Water were on scene all night on July 6, emptying the tanker. A tow truck uprighted the truck on July 7, and it took time to turn the semi around so it could be towed northbound on Kerr Gulch Road to Evergreen Parkway.

and overturned into a ditch near High Road and South Piney Ridge Road. The truck driver indicated he had moved the truck to the shoulder to allow a car to pass, and the soft shoulder gave way, rolling the truck. It landed in a gulley with a nearby small temporary creek that currently has water flowing there.
An environmental team provided by Offen Petroleum put booms near the crash site and further below the site, said Martin, who observed that the booms near the crash had turned brown on July 7, showing they were picking up the fuel, and the booms further below remained white.
The Canyon Courier reached out to Offen Petroleum for more information, but the company has not yet responded.
Evergreen Fire/Rescue received the call at 7:56 p.m. July 6, and it immediately contacted West Metro Fire, which has an expert hazardous materials team, to help at the scene, Martin said. The fuel spill came from a saddle tank, not the main tank, but crews emptied all five compartments, she said.
“This is not a normal call for us, and we hit the button to get the cavalry going,” Martin said. “We worked together as a team.”
The West Metro hazardous materials team drilled holes into each compartment, sucked the fuel out of the tanks and then plugged the holes so nothing would leak out once the truck was upright, she said. Evergreen Fire/Rescue had fire trucks and firefighters on scene in case sparks from the drill caused a fire. The fuel was offloaded into another tanker.
“It was a slow process,” she said. “They grounded the equipment and the tanker to make sure there
were no sparks, but we were ready just in case.”
Martin said she didn’t know why the truck driver was traveling down Kerr Gulch Road, which is steep and winding near Kittredge.
According to Evergreen Fire/ Rescue, Colorado State Patrol is investigating the crash.
Martin added that the incident
was a great opportunity for Evergreen firefighters to work with the West Metro team.
“The good news is nobody got hurt, and it was a great team effort,” she added.
She also thanked neighbors who were very forgiving of the lights, noise and blocked road all night and into the morning.
At the height of the pandemic in 2020, Denver-based radio personality Mercedes Howard was pregnant with her rst child. She was living in Denver, but most of her family was in California where she grew up.
Like many people around the world during quarantine, Howard found the experience isolating and lonely. On top of the uncertainness that came with the COVID-19 pandemic, Howard was trying to maneuver her rst pregnancy journey without a support system and was feeling scared about the future. erefore, she often turned to TikTok and Google for pregnancy and parenting advice. She found that many pregnant millennial women her age were going through the same struggle. is sparked the idea for Howard to begin a podcast that focuses on millennial moms of color.
“Many millennial mothers I have met are the rst in their inner circle to actually have a child, and their relationships with close friends has now become distant, leaving them to feel more alone,” said Howard. “Other
moms I know are struggling with the internal feeling of not being able to provide in the current economy — some being single and having to do a balancing act with parenting, work and sometimes school. In my opinion, the pressure that I have seen in this generation for moms has essentially increased by thousands.”
e Black Millennial Mom Podcast promotes discussion about parenting, pregnancy and millennial BIPOC moms.
“When we create spaces where moms in BIPOC communities share their experiences and assist each other
along the way, we nurture greater access to valuable tools and support systems that bene t so many parents and caregivers across Colorado,” said Wendy Allen, manager of Rocky Mountain PBS Kids, in a news release.
Howard wanted to bring her personal Black experience to the podcasting world. So instead of creating just another mommy-centric podcast, she wanted to create a space for BIPOC women to have safe, informative discussions on issues that are prevalent in the community.
“I think it’s important to have Black representation in podcasting be-
cause it opens the doors and provides resources to my community that often can behard to obtain. Black reparation in the mommy sphere, especially in Colorado, is essential,” said Howard.
“Being able to join forces with Rocky Mountain PBS Kids not only showcases the diversity but opens the doors for women like myself to have outlets and resources they might not have been able to nd before this.”
e podcast just wrapped up its rst season and was a roaring success. Currently, listeners can nd the podcast on YouTube, Google Play, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and the Rocky Mountain PBS Kids website.
Howard expects season two of e Black Millennial Mom Podcast will have deeper conversations and cover more topics. Howard and her team have been working to add more music artists to their lineup of podcast guests. Listeners will also hear from more resources in the parenting atmosphere here in Colorado, including therapists and daycare representatives.
“ e reaction behind ( e Black Millennial Mom Podcast) has exceeded my expectations,” said Howard. “Women from all over have reached out and given encouraging thoughts and love to me. e conversation about parenting has truly opened my eyes on how everyone’s journey truly does not look the same.”
As a young boy, Osi Sladek lived a relatively carefree life with his Jewish family in present-day Slovakia. But after the Nazis came to power and occupied his country, his world fell apart.
Now 87, Sladek spoke recently in Aurora about his and his parents’ experience surviving the Holocaust, which included being smuggled back and forth across the Hungarian border and eeing into the mountains with the Partisans.
Along with telling his story, Sladek spoke passionately about the importance of standing up for democracy and emphasized that it’s not something that can be taken for granted.
A longtime musician and performer, Sladek moved to Israel with his family after the war before coming to the U.S. in the 1950s, which he described as “the rst time I felt like I really felt free.” “ ere’s no better place than the United States of America, no one can convince me,” he said to applause.
Sladek has been speaking about his experience for many years, and last
year he also published a memoir, titled Escape to the Tatras: A Boy, A War and a Life Interrupted. Before the event he donated a copy to the Aurora Public Library, which will be available to readers.
e event was a partnership between the City of Aurora’s O ce of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the Mizel Museum in Denver. More than 100 people attended the event in person at Aurora’s city council chamber, with more watching on a livestream.
Aurora Mayor Mike Co man and Councilmember Danielle Jurinsky introduced Sladek. Co man described the Holocaust as “among the most horri c events in human history” and said it’s important to remember those who were lost.
“Programs like these serve as a stark reminder of the importance of standing up to hatred and injustice,” Co man said, which he said is especially important for a city as diverse as Aurora.
Jurinsky, who is Jewish, said that Sladek’s story speaks to the importance of standing up to antisemitism and reminded her of the value of living
“in a free nation.”
“One day we will have no survivors left and we must continue to teach the horrors of the Holocaust to the younger generation,” she said.
e event began with the viewing of a prerecorded talk from Sladek where he discussed his family’s life before and during WWII in the city of Prešov. Prior to the rise of Hitler Sladek said that Czechoslovakia was a good place for Jews to live, but that antisemitic propaganda turned people against his community and persisted after the war.
“It’s not so easy to get rid of brainwashing,” he said.
After the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia, Jewish people in his town began to be rounded up and deported to concentration camps. A Christian judge who was a friend of the family helped warn them of when raids were coming, but Sladek’s family decided to smuggle him across the border to Hungary to live with a relative. His mother told him that he had to pretend to be an orphan if he wanted to survive.
Sladek lived in Hungary for a year, but it was then also occupied by the Nazis, and his parents decided to bring him back. He was smuggled back across the border inside a hay wagon, and said at one point at a checkpoint
Nazi soldiers stabbed their bayonets into the hay barrels, almost catching him.
His family ultimately escaped into the Tatra mountains with a group of other civilians following the Partisan ghters, who’s bravery and courage Sladek said he remembers with fondness. at’s where they were when the war ended in 1945.
Despite everything he went through, including losing all of his cousins and many other family members in the Holocaust, Sladek said he rejected bitterness and still chose to trust in other people.
“I don’t know how to hate,” he said. “I went through all those things, all those di cult times, but I guess God didn’t give me that special ability to hate. I love people.”
After the video, Sladek answered questions from the audience. His natural humor and charm shone through despite the dark subject matter, and he drew laughs on a number of occasions. One man said that Sladek had been his teacher at a Denver synagogue 57 years ago.
“I probably did the right thing by you, right? If I was a nasty teacher you wouldn’t be here today,” he joked.
Sladek said watching his country slide into fascism as a child made him passionate about the importance of
safeguarding democracy, something he always emphasizes when speaking to groups of young people.
“Even though we live in a democracy, there’s no guarantee that next week we are still going to be in a democracy,” he said.
He said he’s also concerned by a rise in antisemitism, which is something he said he never expected to have to be worried about in the U.S. However, he said he feels very safe in this country in part because unlike Slovakia, where Jews were one of the only minority groups, the U.S. is a diverse nation.
“If society decides to persecute a certain segment, we are all a victim of that,” he said.
e fact that a room full of people from various backgrounds were all sitting together and listening to him share his story is an example of the way things should be, he said. He encouraged the audience to stand up to displays of bigotry.
“We are people who love other people and we believe in a society that is made up of all kinds of people,” he said. “ at’s what I believe in.”

Su mmer break is upon us. For parents, this means a much-needed break from cramming activities and school into a day that simply doesn’t contain enough hours, and a break from the school emails that add even more to your to-do list. For kiddos, a break from homework and early wakeup times. However, the prospect of keeping kids entertained and maintaining some semblance of order can be overwhelming. Add in trying to navigate camp registration mayhem that rivals getting tickets to Taylor Swift, only to then have to put all of those moving pieces into one streamlined and efficient calendar — well, it’s a lot, and frankly doesn’t always feel like that much of a break. Ensure your family thrives this summer (not just survives) with the helpful tips below.
During the school year, kids thrive on the structure provided by their daily routines. Summer vacation disrupts this structure, potentially leading to restlessness and boredom — and I think it’s safe to say that hearing “I’m bored” from your kids can be triggering.
Start and end each day with a consistent wake-up time and bedtime. Keep hygiene routines the same. The more these routines stay somewhat similar to
Thank you, Lakewood!
Terumo Blood and Cell Technologies thanks the Lakewood community for its incredible support during our recent blood drive in commemoration of the World Health Organization’s World Blood Donor Day.
With our community’s participa-
the school year, the less adjustment and struggles you’ll have getting back into the swing of things in the fall.
Divide the day into structured time blocks for various activities. This can include dedicated time for learning, outdoor play, creative activities, quiet time and family time. Setting aside specific times for different activities provides a sense of consistency as well as regular scenery changes. Having these blocks doesn’t mean you have to have activities to fill every minute. Give kids some ownership of how to fill the time via a weekly family meeting to plan the upcoming week. Less mental load for parents and more engagement from kids equals a win-win.
Maintaining regular meal times is also a huge help in creating a summer routine. Meal planning can be a lot, even when parents aren’t having to plan three meals a day plus snacks, but giving your kids an opportunity to contribute to the meal plan is a great way to lighten the load. Tired of hearing, “I don’t like that?” Have everyone put their favorite meals in a jar so you can just grab and plug them in, depersonalizing the choice
and minimizing disagreements.
Engaging activities for summer
Make the most of the warm weather by engaging in outdoor activities. Like recess, but different. Plan family hikes, picnics or visits to local parks. Encouraging kids to explore nature, go for bike rides, take ownership of daily dog walks, play in the water — anything to get outside and enjoy some Vitamin D. If there are struggles to decide what to do, using the same meal option trick works well as the element of surprise overcomes complaints — hopefully.
Summer vacation doesn’t mean learning should take a backseat. Make a bucket list of local museums, libraries or science centers to visit. Game nights for some quality non-screen time also keeps minds sharp. You’ve heard of chore charts, but reading charts in the summer are a great option, too. A throwback to Pizza Hut Book-It, anyone? I’m an especially huge fan of journaling to capture the day, and highly suggest making a point to capture some gratitude as well.
Set up a designated art area at home where kids can paint, draw or engage in crafts. We say the mess is worth it — mostly, unless slime is involved!
When it’s too much
We live in a world of doing it all
at all costs, and the reality is we need to shift that narrative. Asking for help is OK. Taking a break is OK. Not doing everything on your list is OK. Need a quick self-care moment or run errands sans kids? Form a baby-sitting co-op. Babysitters are saviors, but they also come at a cost and can be hard to find. One solution is to form a co-op with friends or neighbors.
Reading this and still wondering where you’ll find all the time? We get it, we highly recommend checking out TULA — your personal assistant and/ or personal chef at the touch of a button, ready to take over your to-do list so you can focus on the fun.
There will be days, even hours, when it feels like you’re both surviving and thriving in equal, and sometimes less-than-equal parts, and that’s OK. Navigating summer vacation with kids can be a joyful and rewarding experience when approached with the right mindset, but it’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed, too. Give yourself a break, give your kids a break. Giving grace, leaning into flexibility and shooting for a bit of balance will serve everyone well and make for a summer of fun and memories.

There’s nothing like reaching a major goal after years of work. is is a concept the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival is very aware of — not only has it grown by leaps and bounds in its more than two decades of existence, but it achieved a major milestone this year.
“ is year we were able to purchase a eet of new boats – Hong Kong-style BuK Dragon Boats,” said Sara Moore, executive director of Colorado Dragon Boat. “Getting these boats is 23 years in the making and we’re so excited to have them.”
Dragon boat racing is just one thing visitors can explore at this year’s annual Colorado Dragon Boat Festival, which will be held at Sloan’s Lake, 25th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevardin Denver, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 22 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 23.
is year’s free festival is bigger than ever, which re ects the growing interest from members of the Asian American Native Hawaiian Paci c Islander (AANHPI) community and those who want to learn about and celebrate the vibrant cultures represented at the event. Last year’s festival drew in more than 170,000 people, according to Moore, and this year is on track to match or exceed that number.
“We’re becoming more inclusive and working with the community to make sure everyone’s voices are heard,” she added. “We see a huge thirst and desire for Coloradoans to come out and support these organizations.”
e nonpro t organization puts hours and hours of work into the festival, which also doubles as a crucial fundraiser for Colorado Dragon Boat. All the festival’s beverage centers are run by local nonpro ts that also use the event as a fundraiser, so every dollar spent on a beverage is split between the nonpro t sponsor and Colorado Dragon Boat.
“We have great volunteers and sponsors who make the festival possible,” Moore said. “It is inspiring
and empowering to see the community respond in such a needed way.”

In addition to the titular racing, visitors have a bevy of options for exploring. ere’s the Asian Marketplace and Asian Craft Tent, both of which feature unique gifts and artworks. And speaking of art, the festival features three performance stages, where a range of performers will share traditional and contemporary Asian and Asian-American instrumental, vocal, choral and dance performances.
I can’t forget to mention the food, which is always delicious and can be found in the Taste of Asia Food Court. ere are all kinds of options to select from, so regardless of what you’re in the mood for, you’re guaranteed to nd something that suits.
No mater where your interests or curiosities lead, the festival will provide an opportunity for enlightenment, entertainment and, most importantly, cultural connection.
“I love seeing the community coming together in celebration, especially since there aren’t enough events that highlight the contributions of the AANHPI community,” Moore said. “ e festival is a great way to tell the world we’re here, showcase all we’ve done and that we’re not going anywhere.”

Several years ago, someone walking into Barbara Pontarelli’s home for the rst time may have gotten the feeling that they’d become a giant.
Hanging on the walls of her kitchen, small scenes exhibited the culinary décor of di erent eras. In one display box, tiny countertops of a retro 1950s kitchen popped with color. In another, little stainless steel appliances lled the space.
Miniature tables and chairs were laid out in parlor scenes in the house’s living room, and Pontarelli’s bathrooms were dentist-themed. Since her husband was a dentist, she honored his career with small recliners and minuscule toothbrushes on display.
“When I didn’t have enough space to display stu , I would empty closets,” said the Wheat Ridge resident, who now lives part-time in California.
Of the countless miniature scenes on display in her home, Pontarelli collected about a quarter of them.
e rest, she made herself.
“It’s, you know, how I express my artistic side,” she said. “I can’t explain the draw, but it’s de nitely a passion … I just nd this so satisfying — to produce something small to be as close as it can be to its full-size counterpart.”
Pontarelli is part of a passionate community of miniaturists, or people who enjoy the art, hobby or collection of miniature objects.
In the metro Denver area, it doesn’t take a magnifying glass to see that the miniaturist community is thriving — from meetup groups to classes, to a museum, the love of tiny things is big in the hearts of many.
A museum of tiny things
Pontarelli is a board member at the institution at the epicenter of the Denver metro miniaturist community: the Denver Museum of Miniatures, Dolls and Toys. In addition to its miniature collection, the museum displays and teaches visitors about antique toys and special dolls from over the decades.
e museum recently moved to 830 Kipling St. in Lakewood after spending almost 40 years in Denver’s City Park West neighborhood.
In its new location, Executive Director Wendy Littlepage said the museum welcomes about 5,000 visitors per year,
“( e museum) is so many di erent things to di erent people,” she said. “We have people that come in that love just the exactitude of the small scale, and then we have people that love the
whimsy of the small scale. We have a lot of people that come for nostalgia … And then I think some people just like that it’s a bit of a mental break.”
One of her favorite things about miniatures is that they are for everyone. Some people come into the museum thinking that the collection, which includes several intricate dollhouses and other cases of miniature objects and artwork, is mainly for kids.
But the houses are full of detailed — and sometimes even functional — replicas of what one would see in a normal house, including cupboards, dressers, paintings, beds, sinks, animals and food.
Considering the familiarity and intricacies of the pieces, Littlepage said some of the collection’s biggest fans tend to be craftsmen.
“We had a nish carpenter come through, and he just said over and over, ‘ is is all insane! How did they get that nish?’” she said. “ ere’s one house where the plumbing is really exposed – and it’s not functional plumbing – but we had a plumber come through and he was just like, ‘ at’s what every house needs.’”
In one display case, tiny handmade food is almost microscopically detailed — including an orange that can be peeled to show the segments underneath and an onion with all of its layers. Other displays show miniature artwork by Indigenous artists that represent Indigenous homes.
For many miniature items, artists use the materials that the regular-sized objects would be made of, like wood and fabric. Paintings are painted, embroidered things are embroidered and knit clothing is knit with small thread.
But for other mini details, artists get more creative, using paper to make owers and polymer clay to construct food items.
While many miniatures are created by hobbyists and artisan creators, others are mass-produced. Just like with real furniture, Wendy said, collectors will determine which types to buy based on their speci c needs.
High-end artisan miniature pieces can sell for thousands of dollars, Littlepage said. e miniature art gallery in the museum was appraised at $18,000 about 15 years ago, so it’s likely worth even more now, she added.
Crafting classes
For those who like to make miniatures, there are clubs and classes to teach di erent skills. For a long time, Pontarelli was the president of one of these clubs, called Wee Wonders of Arvada.
e longstanding miniature group meets monthly at the museum to work on projects together or teach and learn new skills from each other, like how to make stained glass windows or create stucco.
“We have people at every level,” Pontarelli said. “I love getting together with these people and hearing what they’ve gured out and what they’re doing and always learning something new.”
In addition to crafting by hand, miniaturists also use new tools and technologies to create their artwork.
“I’ve noticed a change in the level of expertise over the years,” Pontarelli said. “Before, we used mini scroll saws and mini table saws and Dremel tools — we still use the Dremel quite a bit — but now that we can get laser-cut wood or 3D-printed items, it’s sort of changing the face of the miniature world.”
e museum also hosts classes for kids.
“ ere’s a whole in ux of young people into the hobby and for those of us who are in it, that’s kind of exciting, because, you know, we don’t want to
see it disappear,” Pontarelli said.
For her, miniatures are a great way for kids to explore their creativity.
“We’re just trying to nd any avenue to trigger their creativity, that’s really what it’s all about,” she said. “In this tech world, we need to foster any outside creativity activities that we can, because it’s really important that these kids exercise that part of their brain.”
To learn and wonder e dedication and ambition within the community of miniaturists is special, Littlepage said.
“My favorite thing about the miniature community is they’re such learners,” she said. “Like I have one of my volunteers who has been retired for a while … and she bought a laser cutter and has taught herself to program it.”
She said that problem-solving attitude, plus the childlike wonder of enjoying cute things, make miniaturists special.
Littlepage encouraged people to take a break from their busy lives to check out the museum, where tickets for adults are $5 and children and seniors are $4.
“It’s a great space because you have to slow down,” she said. “You come in fast, you miss a lot. So being able to come in, take a few breaths and just sort of nd the most ridiculous tiny thing you can nd.”
For those who have their interest piqued in the world of miniatures, Pontarelli said it’s never too late to start. Creating and collecting can be for anyone at any time and any age, she said.
And for those who don’t know where to begin, just remember — it’s OK to start small.
Colorado is changing how it punishes people for car theft, and will focus on the behavior of the o ender instead of the value of the vehicle.
A new state law that took e ect July 1 will bring harsher penalties for people who repeatedly steal cars, or use them to commit other crimes.
For repeat o enders — those who have been convicted of car theft at least twice before — prosecutors can now charge them with a Class 3 felony, punishable by between four and 12 years in prison. People who steal a car and damage it, take it out of state or use it to commit another crime, will face between two to six years in prison.
e law does allow for a lower penalty for joyriders, people who steal cars brie y and commit no other crimes with them.
“We heard a lot of concerns of: What if it’s less than 24 hours? What if it’s returned undamaged?” said GOP state Rep. Matt Soper, explaining why they kept the ability for prosecutors to treat some car thefts
as a misdemeanor.
e bipartisan law was a response to criticism that Colorado’s previous approach to car theft was ine ectual and unfair.
Under the prior law, the severity of the crime was based on the value of the vehicle. Stealing a car worth less than $2,000 was generally only a misdemeanor. Democratic state Sen. Rachel Zenzinger said it was clear that approach ignored the actual impact on victims.
“A crime is a crime,” said Zenzinger. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a moderate income person, a low income person — if your car has been stolen, it’s going to impact your life, and sometimes pretty dramatically.”

Colorado has earned a place of infamy for car thefts in recent years.
e business-oriented think tank Common Sense Institute found that Colorado led the nation in car thefts in 2021 and averaged around 4,000 thefts a month for the rst half of 2022. Car thefts have declined since then, according to Colorado State Patrol, which trumpeted the new law as a help to future enforcement.
Zenzinger and other lawmakers said they got involved in the issue after hearing from numerous constituents across the state about their own experiences with auto thefts and asking for stricter penalties.
“I was receiving emails about this almost daily,” she said. “Even my
own vehicle, while it was not stolen, it was broken into. And I think when you become a victim of a crime like that, it really sends it home. When you realize, ‘it can happen to anybody. And it is happening!’”
e bill was supported unanimously in the state Senate but opposed by a handful of House Democrats, concerned that strengthening penalties could lead to more people with felonies on their criminal records without meaningfully reducing car thefts. ey argued addressing the root causes of crime would have more impact.
“It’s a false set of options to suggest folks are asking for more criminalization, when we’re not giving them other options,” said Rep. Elisabeth Epps during a committee hearing on the bill. “ is is a step in the wrong direction, and it’s a step that we’re going to be paying for for years to come.”
e new law was developed by the state’s Criminal and Juvenile Justice Coalition and supported by a number of local governments and law enforcement organizations. It was opposed by the ACLU and criminal defense lawyers.

Two Democratic state representatives are suing their own caucus, including House Speaker Julie McCluskie and House Majority Leader Monica Duran, alleging “pervasive” violations of Colorado’s open meetings laws.
e 13-page legal action, a rare intraparty spat spilling into public view and the courts, was led in Denver District Court on Friday by Democratic Reps. Elisabeth Epps of Denver and Bob Marshall of Highlands Ranch.
It alleges Colorado House Democrats’ nearweekly caucus meetings, during which pending legislation is discussed, should be publicly noticed and that meeting minutes be recorded and o ered to the public. e lawsuit alleges members of the House Democratic caucus “directed legislative aides to omit or disguise these mandatory meetings from representatives’ calendars.”
e lawsuit also argues that House Democrats’ use of Signal, an encrypted smartphone messaging system in which messages can be automatically deleted, also violates the state’s open meeting and public records laws. According to the legal action, representatives used Signal to discuss witness testimony and how each lawmaker would vote on bills.
Epps and Marshall, both lawyers, say they brought their concerns about the potential open meetings and public records violations to McCluskie, D-Dillon, and the legislature’s nonpartisan O ce of Legislative Legal Services.
“Despite plainti s’ best e orts, ultimately House leadership failed to act and defendants continued to violate COML,” the o ce said. McCluskie and Duran, D-Wheat Ridge, responded in a written statement.
“House Democratic leadership is committed to open and transparent government and ensuring a fair and public process for policy making,” the statement said. “We are still reviewing the complaint in full, and we stand by our caucus — dedicated public servants who work tirelessly on behalf of their constituents.”
Marshall, reached by e Colorado Sun, said he would provide comment in a pending statement. Epps didn’t immediately return a voicemail and text message seeking comment.
“Quorums of state public bodies in the House of Representatives routinely meet in secret to discuss public business,” the lawsuit said. “ ese discussions inform the course of legislative action to be later taken publicly and are routinely conducted outside of public view, without providing public notice, and without recording or publishing meeting minutes that the public can access.”
Epps and Marshall are also suing House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, the top Republican in the House, and the entire House GOP caucus, alleging they, too, violate open meetings laws by holding regular caucus meetings and through their communications on Signal.
A spokesman for Lynch and the House GOP caucus also didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
e entire Colorado House of Representatives is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit. Democrats have a 46-19 supermajority in the chamber.
e lawsuit asks a judge to declare that the unannounced caucus meetings constitute a violation of Colorado’s open meetings law and to enter an order barring them from holding private meetings between two or more House members to discuss public business. When such meetings occur, there should be minutes made available to the public, the legal action requests.
Epps and Marshall are also asking that their attorneys fees be paid by the defendants in the case. e lawsuit argues Colorado’s open meetings laws required that any gathering of two or more members of an elected state body must make their gatherings public if they are discussing public business. It also says any meeting of a state public body at which a quorum is expected to be in attendance can happen only after the public is

piston-engine division, Harvey and his team were brought into a hotel ballroom where the almost 3-foottall stainless steel victory cup sat on a table. at was in 1949.
ey had a photo made with the trophy and it was the last day any of them would see it until more than half a century later.
In 1999, Zellie Rainey-Orr got involved with the Tuskegee Airmen as the result of a Tuskegee Airman pilot from her Mississippi hometown who died in combat — 1st Lt. Quitman Walker.
Rainey-Orr confesses, until that day, she never knew much about the Tuskegee Airmen.
She was about to get a rsthand lesson from the men who were there.
“I thought I was just gonna go and put a ower on the grave of Quitman Walker,” she said. “I assumed he was buried here in Indianola, Mississippi and that’s when I would learn that no one knew where he was buried.”
Rainey-Orr reached out to the Walker family in an attempt to help locate the airman’s remains.
rough her quest to help, she would eventually meet Alva Temple, the captain of the 1949 “Top Gun” team at a 2004 event to award Walker’s medals posthumously, at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi.
It was there that she learned of the missing trophy.
“I just felt a connection,” RaineyOrr said.
Unable to resist, she began a quest to locate it.
Not knowing what the trophy looked like, and with Temple, at that time, in failing health, she reached out to the family in hopes of nding more details.
Someone in Temple’s family mentioned that there was a newspaper story covering the event, dated May 12, 1949, on a bedroom dresser. at clipping provided RaineyOrr with enough information to start contacting military bases and museums.
Within a week, she received a response from the National Museum of the United States Air Force, in Dayton, Ohio.
“ ey said they had the trophy and attached a photo,” she said.
Rainey-Orr called Temple’s family on Sunday, Aug. 29 to share the good news, but was told Temple had passed the day before.
“It was almost like his spirit guided me,” she said. “I didn’t know the story or the impact. I was just looking for a trophy.”
Oddly, while it took Rainey-Orr less than a week to locate a trophy that had been missing for more than 50 years, it would take her much longer to get the U.S. Air Force to agree to bring it out of mothballs.
“I was talking to the historian at the Air Force Museum, the one who sent the photo, and I said I’d love to come see it,” she recalled. “And he (the historian) said, ‘It’s not on display — and it will never be on display.’”
Rainey-Orr was confused.
She thought that this was an important piece of Air Force history, it was the rst nationwide gunnery competition since the end of the war and it was the rst time that Black pilots had participated.
Why wouldn’t they want the trophy displayed?
After a lot of back-and-forth negotiations, the Air Force agreed to let the trophy be shown.
In December of the same year, Air Force Museum representatives took the trophy out of storage and delivered it to Detroit, Michigan, the home of another Tuskegee Top Gun, Harry Stewart, for its rst unveiling at the National Museum of the Tuskegee Airmen’s annual banquet.
After the banquet, the trophy was returned to the museum where it went on permanent display in early 2006.
Harvey was unable to attend the 2004 banquet in Detroit, but Rainey-Orr, who is now an author and Tuskegee Airman historian, prompted him to make the journey to Ohio in 2006.
When asked how he felt upon seeing the trophy on display, Harvey smiled and said, “Feels good. Feels
very good — very, very good. Mission accomplished.”
Harvey plans to celebrate his 100th birthday with true ghter pilot air.
He says close to 270 friends, family and guests from around the country, many of them “military brass,” will join him for a private gala celebration in Centennial, Colorado. ere will be three birthday cakes, one fashioned into the shape of a Corvair F-102 Delta Dagger — “made of gluten-free marble and cappuccino,” of course.
What does one hope for after blowing out all of those candles?
“Continued good health,” he said. “Continued excellent health.”
And what does 100 years feel like?
Harvey will tell you.
“It doesn’t feel any di erent than the rst year,” he joked. “ Actually, I don’t remember the rst year, but I do remember the second — that’s when I got measles.”
His secret to longevity?
“I try to be a nice person to everybody — until they prove otherwise,”
he said. “Just be nice to people. My motto has always been, ‘Do unto others as you have them do unto you.’ I live by that one and it works.” Rainey-Orr agrees, and describes Harvey, whom she rst met in 2005 as “caring and compassionate.”
“I just like to say he is a real example of what we sow, we get to reap,” she said. “He is a rst in many areas, including becoming the rst Black pilot to y jets in Korea — and often unless he told the stories, they were forgotten.”
While saddened that she’ll miss Harvey’s birthday bash, Rainey-Orr is happy for her friend.
“I’m just so happy he got to live long enough to see the day, and to understand that people really do appreciate his sacri ces in the service of our country,” she said, “because he had comrades who did not. ey survived the war, but didn’t get to see the respect.”
But the big question is, what does the rst “Top Gun” think of the new “Top Gun: Maverick” movie?
“I liked the rst one better,” Harvey said.
given full and timely notice.
Finally, the laws say the minutes of any meeting of a state public body shall be recorded and made available to the public.
Democrats and Republicans in the House and Senate regularly hold closed-door caucus meetings that the public isn’t informed of beforehand. at’s been a yearslong practice at the Capitol.
Lawmakers’ use of Signal, which was rst released in 2014, has become more widespread over the past two or three years.
Marshall and Epps just nished their rst year at the Capitol after being elected in November 2022. Epps repeatedly clashed with House Democratic leadership during the 2023 legislative session, speci cally McCluskie, with the tensions aring on the nal day of the lawmaking term during a House Democratic caucus meeting.
In an impassioned speech to the rest of her caucus, Epps directly criticized McCluskie’s leadership, saying she had been too lenient with Republicans and had allowed lastminute bills to be forced through by Democrats.
“You asked to do this,” Epps said. “I’m asking you to do much, much more.”
Marshall has a history of bringing open meetings lawsuits. He sued the Douglas County School Board in 2022 over the ring of its superintendent when a conservative majority took over the board, arguing there had been illegal secret meetings over the decision.
A judge agreed that the four new board members held “daisy chain,” or one-on-one meetings, in advance of the ring in violation of public meetings laws.
Steve Zansberg, a well-known Colorado media attorney, led the lawsuit on behalf of Epps and Marshall. He also represented Marshall in the Douglas County lawsuit.
Zansberg also represents e Sun and the Colorado Freedom of Infor-

mation Coalition.
In April, Marshall asked the Legislative Council, a committee of legislative leaders, to create an interim committee on Colorado’s open meetings laws and how they apply to the legislature, including emails and electronic communications.
“ is request comes out of concern that the legislature’s become very sloppy with the Open Meeting Law and Colorado Open Records Act,” Marshall told the committee. “We work for the people and if the people want to see what we’re doing, they put a referendum in place to know what’s going on.”
e council never voted on Marshall’s proposal, e ectively rejecting it.
Senate President Steve Fenberg, D-Boulder, told Marshall that the issue should be addressed in a bill in the future.
“I think the open records laws and open meetings laws are very confusing,” Fenberg said. “And, oftentimes, I think folks don’t know how to actually comply, especially in the modern day. So I do think this is an area

Now, The Colorado Sun co-owns this and other Colorado Community Media newspapers as a partner in the Colorado News Conservancy. The Sun is CCM’s partner for

“It was 10 times worse than anything the Douglas County School Board had been doing,” he said.
He said the lawmakers had a “holier than thou” mentality, criticizing other branches of government for a lack of transparency while not looking at themselves.
“ at’s a hypocrisy that’s very difcult for me to bear,” he said.
No hearings on the lawsuit brought by Epps and Marshall had been scheduled as of earlier this week.

For those student athletes, coaches, administrators and others that have proven consistent greatness, sportsmanship and dedication, their chance at being enshrined in history is now.
e Colorado High School Activities Association, or CHSAA, is accepting nominations for its 2023 Hall of Fame class through Aug. 15.
Candidates can be nominated in any of the following categories:
Student participants O cials
Coach/sponsors Administrators Signi cant contributors
Generally, between ve and 10 inductees are added every year across all the categories.
Rashaan Davis, the assistant commissioner of CHSAA, walked me through the quali cations and nomination requirements.
“To be inducted into the CHSAA Hall of Fame, nominees are screened
through our selection committee,” Davis said. “ e process for nomination does not require any more than to be nominated.”
Anyone can make a nomination –from a coach to a player to a parent. After a person is nominated, the selection committee surveys them on an individual basis, weighing di erent factors based on category and contribution like time contributed, accolades earned, and more. However, there are no prerequisites, Davis said. ere is no singular measure of success, either.
“ e criteria do change for each category, as it has a direct correlation in what de nes excellence in that category,” Davis said. “For example, it might be overall championship wins or appearances in title games for coaches. Whereas for student participants, it might be records set, times achieved, number of victories over their four-year career.”
Classi cation and gender of sport are also factored in as they relate to particular accomplishments and accolades, Davis said.
at way, each nominee is measured against peers at their same
level, rather than everyone competing against everyone for the same honors.
It’s a long and tedious process, but one that Davis said is fair and about striking the right balance.
“We always look to balance induction as we look at accomplishments, schools, classi cations, athletics versus activities, geography, and so many other factors,” Davis said. “As you know, we oversee more than 30 sports and activities. So between coaches, o cials, student participants, administrators, and signi cant contributors, this is not an easy process.”
If you or someone you know might have a nominee in mind, get those nominations in using the submission form on CHSAAnow.com e site also features a full list of all the previous CHSAA Hall of Fame inductees dating back to 1989. ere are currently 222 hall of fame members.

Nominate someone instrumental to your athletic journey as the newest member today. Last year’s inductees were announced in October.
For football rans, rest easy. e season is right around the corner.
e annual 7-on-7 football tournament at Dakota Ridge High School featured several teams battling it out to ramp up for the impending season. e competition revolves around drills and plays between both teams on o ense and defense. ere are no pads and contact is limited to two-hand-touch.
Ralston Valley, Columbine, Dakota Ridge, Golden, Evergreen, Fairview, Pomona and Green Mountain all participated.
Fairview beat Ralston Valley 19-17 in the championship game on June 29. ough it’s not a real game on the scorecard, it’s a sure sign that football is rcloser than fans might think along the Front Range.
Colorado Community Media thanks Je co Public Schools Sports Information Director Dennis Pleuss for his annual coverage of this event.
If there’s a piece of advice Emma Stutzman would give her younger self on the track, she would say to show up prepared, be patient and let your hard work speak for itself. e younger Stutzman hoped, but never imagined, she would be named the best female track runner in the state.
After stamping a historic high school career at Pomona High School, Stutzman was named the Gatorade Colorado Girls Track &
Field Player of the Year for 2022-23. at’s a rst in the Arvada school’s history.
“It wasn’t necessarily one of my goals to get the (Gatorade) award,” Stutzman said. “It was more of just like a cherry-on-top kind of thing. It de nitely wasn’t something I really even knew that much about.”
e award comes a month after Stutzman earned a long-anticipated rst state title, nishing the Class 5A girls 3,200-meter run in a time of 10 minutes, 12.68 seconds in May.
A day later, her winning time of 4:39.94 in the 1600 shattered the previous Colorado prep sports record, and ranked No. 3 nationally among girls prep competitors in 2023, earning Stutzman her second state title in two days. e previous 1600

record was held by Katie Rainsberger of Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs, with a time of 4:44.31 in 2016.
Stutzman is also the 2023 Je erson County District Female Athlete of the Year. Another milestone: she clocked the nation’s No. 4 mark in the two-mile run (9:55.75) this spring at the Brooks PR Invitational in Washington state and the No. 5 national mark in the 3200 (9:56.34) at the Arcadia Invitational in California.
Stutzman joins recent Gatorade Colorado Girls Track & Field Players of the Year Agur Dwol (2021-22, Mullen High School), Riley Stewart (2020-21, Cherry Creek High School), Taylor James (201920, Niwot High School), and Anna Hall (2018-19, Valor Christian High School), among the state’s list of former award winners.
After four years of close calls and almosts, Stutzman claimed her rst and only individual high school state title in the nick of time, coming a week before graduating
and saying goodbye to high school.
According to Je co Athletics’ Dennis Pleuss, Stutzman had placed in the top four of the 1,600 and 3,200 at the state meet the past two years. As a sophomore she took third in the 1,600 and runnerup in the 3,200. Last year, she took fourth in both the 1,600 and 3,200.
Her freshman year on the track was canceled due to COVID-19, so already time was ticking if she wanted a title.
In the 3,200 last month, Stutzman held onto her lead from the very beginning of the match and never let up, nishing with a victory scream as a wave of relief washed over her.
“It was just so exciting to nally be on the top of that podium and nally be able to go into a state meet and come out of it knowing I did everything I wanted to do,” she said. “It was de nitely nice to cap o my Pomona season (and career) with that win.”
Now all focus shifts toward college. Stutzman is heading to Northern Arizona University in Flagsta on a full scholarship to take her talents to the next level this

For one, she “hates running in the cold,” so it will be nice to escape to the desert when she wants to. But at the same time, Flagsta “isn’t too di erent from Colorado” climate-wise, meaning it won’t be a huge transition.
But still, Stutzman isn’t tempering her expectations for herself, despite making the college leap.
“I de nitely want to try to see how far I can go, with not just running for myself (but for my team),” she said. “I’m really excited to see what I can do, being a part of a team like that, and then just going as far as my mind and my body will take me. I de nitely want to be an NCAA AllAmerican.”
ough she’ll miss her home, her teammates, the camaraderie of an ordinary practice, team camps, running at Je co Stadium, and countless others, Stutzman said she’s excited about the challenge of the next level.
“I had a great team at Pomona. I absolutely love every single one of them,” Stutzman said.
As one of the school’s best to ever do it in any sport, Stutzman is leaving as an alltime legend.
Unless within thirty-five (35) days after the publication of this Notice you file an answer with the Court, or appear before the Court, your parental right to the Child may likely be terminated. You have the right to waive your right to appear and contest, and your failure to appear and contest, either in person or by a representative, will result in the Court forever terminating your parent-child legal relationship and granting the requested adoption.
