Castle Rock voters may be asked to increase sales tax for first time in more than 10 years

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Castle Rock hasn’t raised its sales tax since 2011, but that could change. e town is considering going to voters with an increase this November to help fund police and re services.

Town sta said a .2% sales tax increase would raise an estimated $3.75 million per year to fund 22 new police employees and 18 additional re department sta , as well as pay for road maintenance, recreational amenities and arts and culture grants, according to the town.

Town council members seemed reluctantly in favor of putting the question on the ballot this fall, noting they generally oppose tax increases, but they agree on the need to expand services to meet demands as the town grows.

“I don’t want to ask anyone for

taxes, but I also think we realize we want all of our services to do better and better, not watch them slide o ,” Mayor Jason Gray said. “ is is the most palatable way to move forward.”

e council hasn’t voted on any proposal yet.

Castle Rock’s municipal services, including public safety, road maintenance and parks and recreation, are largely funded through sales tax, which has been slowing in recent years, Town Manager David Corliss said.

With the town’s rising population, both the police and re departments are seeing an increase in calls for service and in response times. However, the town’s current tax revenue can’t fund additional hires.

“As we see the dominance of online sales continue to increase, … I think we’re going to see sales tax not be as strong a horse for our

Falling through the Cracks

town revenues going into the future,” Corliss said, noting sales tax revenue is still increasing, just less than in previous years.

Between 2012 and 2023, the Castle Rock Fire Department saw a 61% increase in calls. e demand has led to an average of 16 minutes per day where all three of the town’s ambulances are responding to calls.

Fire Chief Norris Croom said ambulance depletion is one of the department’s biggest challenges that could be addressed through a sales tax increase. It would allow the department to add a fourth ambulance and sta .

“We’re seeing an increase in (the amount of time) the ambulances aren’t available because they’re on calls,” Croom said.

When Castle Rock’s ambulances aren’t available, calls for service go to surrounding agencies, like South Metro Fire or Franktown

Fire.

Castle Rock Police Department had calls for service rise from around 11,900 in 2019 to more than 14,000 in 2023.

Police sta ng levels are at 1.1 per every 1,000 residents, which is a level Chief Jack Cauley would like to at least maintain, if not increase. Money raised by the proposed tax increase would go to adding school resource o cers, patrol o cers and dispatchers, among others, Cauley said.

“We do a lot with a very lean department,” Cauley said. “If we want to continue the level of service and level of safety and security and protecting our kids, seniors and the community, we need this increase.”

In addition to police and re, the town is planning to use around $700,000 on road maintenance,

Parker mayor endorses former mayor for Congress in vacancy election

Lopez among four candidates seeking interim gig to fill former U.S. Rep. Ken Buck’s House seat

BY HALEY LENA HLENA@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Greg Lopez, a former mayor for the Town of Parker, is among four candidates running for the U.S. House District 4 Vacancy Election on June 25. He has just received an endorsement from close to home – Parker’s current mayor, Jeff Toborg.

The special election will appear on ballots alongside primaries for the District 4 seat. While candidates in the primaries, like Republicans Lauren Boebert and Deborah Flora, are seeking to take the seat after the November election, the special election covers the interim, a situation caused when former U.S. Rep. Ken Buck unexpectedly retired.

“It’s time to bring some of the Parker hometown common sense to Washington,” Toborg said in his endorsement. “Greg Lopez is the right man to serve our community in Congress through the end of the

Will You Be Among the Homeowners Focusing on Enhancing Outdoor Living in 2024?

Among those states which actually have four seasons, Colorado enjoys the best and longest season for outdoor living. When I lived here in my childhood, I recall that the Denver Post had “Climate Capital of the World” as its page one slogan. Denver’s climate was what drove me to return to Colorado as an adult We still enjoy a year-round climate which is least impacted by climate change, with fewer or no hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, and other natural disasters.

home with a fully tricked-out backyard, and I know my buyers do too. It’s a definite selling point and sets any home apart from its competition.

So, it makes sense that Coloradans want to do more outdoor living. I’m finding more and more homes with outdoor kitchens and living spaces, and these are big selling points for any single-family listing.

Above right is a graphic from a 2023 article by the International Casual Furnishings Association which carried the following headline: “In 2023, Americans Will Spend Their Money on Lighting, Rugs, Umbrellas and Other Accessories to Spruce Up Their Backyards, Decks and Patios.”

I must say that I light up when I see a

The article was based on a survey which showed increased interest in backyard amenities by American homeowners. The statistics are in the graphic. In the article reporting on the survey, it was stated that “After two years of pandemic living that motivated many residents to invest in improving the spaces around their homes, there is significant interest in continuing to upgrade their outdoor living setting.” Their website, icfanet.org/news/2023_trend_report, promotes various products to enhance outdoor living, including outdoor bars, a canopied daybed, umbrellas, rugs, swivel rockers, artwork, pottery, pillows and more.

As I write this, there are 67 active REcolorado listings within 20 miles of downtown Denver which include an outdoor kitchen in their public remarks. There are 35 more beyond that 20-mile radius. Send me an email at the address below if you’d like me to share those

The Practice of Real Estate Won’t Change All That Much

The now-famous NAR Settlement of March 15th is now 2½ months in the past long enough for multiple people and “experts” to weigh in on how the practice of real estate will change.

I have attended several events which were touted as answering that question but literally did nothing of the kind. I believe that I have a better understanding of how it will all change as the implementation date of August 17th approaches.

Until then, nothing at all is changing. I just listed a couple homes which will advertise a co-op (buyer’s agent) commission of 2.5%, which is rather typical. There are still listings on the MLS showing 2.8% co-op commissions, and some showing 2.0% co-op, but all of us realize that it’s important to offer a coop if we want our listings to sell.

After Aug. 17th, it will be strictly forbidden for the MLS and websites which get their listings from the MLS Zillow, and every brokerage website, including our own to even hint at a co-op commission. The penalty for doing so is loss of MLS access, which is a career-ending penalty.

Most people think that buyers and agents will have to call each listing agent before showing a home to find out if a co-op is being offered and what the

listings with you, and I’d be happy to arrange a showing. Even if you don’t buy one of those listings, it could give you ideas as to how you might improve your own outdoor living space.

We live in the best place on planet Earth in my opinion, and we want to live life to the fullest, right? Why limit ourselves to wonderful indoor living spaces, when we can also enjoy the the great environment that is outside our walls?

My broker associates and I are here to help you in any way that suits you.

The research for the above chart was conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of the American Home Furnishings Alliance and International Casual Furnishings Association among 1,000 nationally representative U.S. adults ages 18 and older between January 27-31, 2023.

Guest Article on April’s Real Estate Statistics

By MEGAN ALLER, First American Title

We are seeing a notable shift in the residential market, particularly within the attached property sector. This has been influenced by several key factors that have emerged in recent months.

Key Market Trends for April 2024:

¨ Active inventory has risen significantly, with a 31% increase in units for sale. New listings also saw a 14% uptick.

percentage or dollar amount will be. I watched one video presentation by a local brokerage which suggested that the amount of co-op could vary depending on the listing agent’s opinion of the professionalism of the buyer’s agent, offering 1% to one agent but 2% to another a terrible, likely illegal idea.

Not one person I read or listened to mentioned the printed brochure for a listing. It can easily state in print if a coop commission is offered and what the percentage or dollar amount is. This is no different than those for-sale-byowner listings which say “Co-op Paid.”

My practice will be to write listing agreements with 2.5 to 2.8 percent commissions, but with an additional provision authorizing me to promote on brochures, in this ad, and on listing websites (not connected to the MLS) a 2.0 to 2.8 percent co-op commission. I’m sure any seller will agree to that provision, because failure to do so would mean far fewer showings and offers.

Next Tuesday the Colorado Real Estate Commission will be presented by their Forms Committee with some minor changes to the purchase contract and listing contracts (for both buyers and sellers). I will attend that meeting and write about those changes the following week.

Underwriters are increasingly scrutinizing the financial health of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) due to new lending guidelines. This has led to a rise in HOA dues and special assessments, largely driven by significant increases in master insurance policy costs. For example, some sellers have experienced HOA dues rising from around $300 to over $800. In another instance, an HOA is planning a special assessment of $3,600 annually for the next five years to stabilize their finances. Additionally, many condo communities have let their FHA approvals lapse, complicating the purchase process for first-time and lower entry buyers.

Lenders are also wary of mixed-use commercial/condo communities, viewing the financial burden placed on commercial spaces as a riskier proposition. Consequently, we are seeing a marked shift from condos to single-family detached units. Buyers who might have considered a $500,000 condo with a $1,000 monthly HOA bill are finding better value in singlefamily homes priced around $700,000, offering a more sound investment.

¨ Demand, as measured by pending transactions, decreased by 6.6%, although closed transactions increased by 14% month-over-month.

¨ Months of inventory increased to 2.5 months, reflecting a lagging indicator based on March's contracts.

¨ Attached residential home prices have dropped from last month due to rising inventory and decreased demand. However, prices are still up 1.1% to 2.5% compared to last year.

¨ While multiple offers are less frequent and less intense compared to 20202022, March saw 28.8% of attached units selling over asking price, with an average overage of 2.0%. Many of these homes included concessions to buy down interest rates.

¨ The average days on market decreased to 35 days, with the median days on market dropping to 12 days.

¨ 41.9% of homes were under contract within 7 days, up 3.6% from last month. Homes under contract within this timeframe received an average of 100.5% of their original list price.

The Class of 2024

The Class of 2024 has seen its fair share of challenges. eir freshman year coincided with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. And, as they graduated, generative arti cial intelligence is all the rage, promising to disrupt and change many industries in ways not yet fully understood.

So, what’s on the minds of these students? e rising costs of living and navigating the transition into young adulthood, to name two. Our newsroom collected grains of wisdom from graduating seniors in

schools across the south metro area. We sent surveys to students in the Douglas County School District, Littleton Public Schools, Cherry Creek School District and Englewood Schools.

We got back more than 45 responses to our queries meant to gauge students’ thoughts as they nd their way, wanting to know about the challenges and opportunities that await them.

Here are the thoughts of the Class of 2024 — graduates’ re ections on their high school experience and plans for the future.

He was able to work in a greenhouse and earn a certi cation to operate forklifts.  ose opportunities and support led Davila to Arapahoe Community College, where, this fall, he will study biology with a goal of becoming a wildlife biologist or zoologist.

es and universities, it will be di cult. Figuring in his concerns are other bills, like rent and car payments.

“A potential challenge I see for myself in the future is keeping up with tuition costs,” he said.

For Cody Craven, of underRidge High School in Highlands Ranch, enlisting in the U.S. Army was the best choice for him to continue school while reducing the nancial strains of college.

“I have taken into consideration expenses and schooling when considering what to do with my future,” Craven said. “I believe that the military will teach me great life skills and they will pay for it.”

And, many others in the Class of 2024 are looking for every opportunity they can to reduce their higher education bills.

Stella Pasquale from Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice in Englewood plans to pursue the Ascent Program at the Metropolitan State University of Denver in criminal justice and criminology.

e Ascent Program, which is o ered to juniors and seniors, is federal funding that provides students with the opportunity to either complete their rst year of college at no cost or complete a fth year of high school.

“I decided to do the Ascent Program because it’s the best option for menancially to be able to pursue the major I want at a four year school,” Pasquale said. “ is next step will grant me free tuition for my full rst year of college.” is program o ers Pasquale and other students the opportunity to pursue higher education without going into debt within their rst year out of high school, something Pasquale is thankful for.

Students at non-traditional schools, like local community colleges and Metro, are able to stay in the metro area, closer to family and support systems as they launch their futures to help further reduce costs.

Data from the Education Data Initiative shows that in 2023 the average cost for students living on a public four-year campus at an in-state institution was about $26,027 per year. Out-of-state students paid $27,091 per year and private, nonpro t university students are paying $55,840 per year.

Fellow Colorado’s Finest High School of Choice-Ascent Program member Nazira Garrett is planning to attend Arapahoe Community College for her

rst two years before transferring to Colorado State University, a strategy that will save money. Garrett will study psychology and neuroscience.  ough the senior is looking forward to pursuing a degree and thankful to be in the program, Garrett said she is nervous about being nancially stable throughout college.

“I am currently thinking about how I will a ord my education and the move to Fort Collins,” Garrett said. “I also worry if I will have enough support to get through my college education.”

e average student borrower spends roughly 20 years paying o their loans, per the Education Data Initiative.

Vinny Anderson, who is graduating from Littleton High School, said nancial aid was a factor in his plans to major in psychology at Stanford University.

“It was important for me to decide on a school that was o ering me goodnancial aid, coming from a low-income background,” he said. “Additionally, I wanted to choose a school that would o er me strong connections and networking opportunities.

Other seniors, like Erin Altenhofen from Englewood High School, are taking advantage of scholarships to help them through their higher education journey. Altenhofen is a recipient of the Daniels Fund Scholarship, which covers full tuition to a four-year university in certain states, including Colorado.

Altenhofen plans to attend the University of Colorado in Boulder in the fall to study biomedical engineering.

“I worked with my post secondary advisor and teachers and have always been interested in creating and assisting with curing medical diseases,” Altenhofen said. “I received the Daniels Fund Scholarship which is an amazing opportunity for me.”

Advice to the next generation

As they pursue their passions and g-

at a bigger school, but only recently came to realize how much better it is to be in a smaller school,” Altenhofen said. “I would also tell them to join as many clubs and sports as you can, because though it may take a lot of time, it is such a great opportunity to make friends and nd spaces where you can thrive.”

Jayce Prante from Englewood High School said freshmen should “challenge themselves and make the best of their high school career.”

“ ey should do their best to get good grades and put themselves out there,” Prante said.

Dashiell Fahnestock at Englewood High School, has plans to attend the University of Puget Sound. Fahnestock said freshmen should keep their options open.

“Experiment with several di erent options regardless of whether or not you think they will work out, and be nice to people,” Fahnestock said. “It’ll make your subsequent high school years easier.”

For Kate Mullin, from Grandview High School, her biggest advice to early high school students is to savor the moment.

“ ere are a lot of times during high school where the homework is hard, classmates aren’t the best to be around, and you’re over everything,” she said.

“But despite all of those negatives, there can be so many positives because high school is what you choose to make it. Find your people and nd what makes you happy … Make your memories count, because high school goes by in the blink of an eye.”

Do you need a trust?

One of the rst questions many of my clients ask is whether they need a trust. It’s a great question, but it leads to another: What do you want your estate plan to accomplish? First

I will explain what trusts are and how they work. en

I will look at the bene ts of a trust based plan so you will have a better idea of whether a trust is right for you and your famere are many di erent types of trusts and they can accomplish a wide range of

goals. However, when most people think about trusts, the one they have in mind is a Revocable or Living Trust.

A trust is a separate legal entity that is established by a trust agreement.  e grantor is the person who creates and signs the trust agreement.  e trust agreement sets forth the rules and guidelines the trustee must follow when managing the assets whether it is during the grantor’s incapacity or upon the death of the grantor.

After signing the trust agreement, the grantor’s assets are funded into the trust. Assets that may be funded into the trust include, but are not limited to, real property, nancial accounts, motor vehicles and other items. An example of trust funding is record-

ing a deed moving the ownership of a house from the grantor’s name into the name of the trust. After assets are transferred into the name of the trust, the trust technically owns the assets; however the grantor can continue to use them as he or she normally would.

When the trust is created, the grantor names a trustee to manage the assets funded into the name of the trust.  Most grantors name themselves as the initial trustee, giving them complete control over the trust’s assets. A  successor trustee is also named to take over management of the trust upon the grantor’s incapacity and death.

One of the primary bene ts of a trust is that it enables assets held in the trust to avoid the probate process after the grantor’s death thereby avoiding the costs associated with probating the estate. e grantor can stipulate when, how, and under what circumstances the successor trustee is authorized to distribute trust assets to bene ciaries. is is particularly important if the bene ciaries are not yet mature enough to manage an inheritance on their own, or in situations involving blended families.

pensive guardianship (day-to-day decisions) proceeding or conservator ( nancial) proceeding if the grantor becomes incapacitated.  e probate court treats the appointment of a guardian and the appointment of a conservator as two separate lawsuits, each with their own rules.

As mentioned earlier, there are many di erent types of trusts. If one of your primary goals is to protect assets from long-term care costs, creditors, lawsuits, and other threats, an Irrevocable Trust or an Asset Protection Trust may be a much better option then a Revocable Living Trust. If you have a loved one with special needs, a Special Needs Trust can allow you to create a fund for goods and services not provided by Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income while protecting eligibility for these vital programs.  ese are but a few examples of various trusts and what they can accomplish. If you’re still not sure whether you need a trust, we welcome the opportunity to explain your options in detail and, if appropriate in your particular circumstances, design and implement the trust that’s right for you and your family.

Additionally a trust protects the privacy of the grantor (and beneciaries) because the trust’s provisions are con dential.

Parents upset by plan to cut sports space at county fairgrounds

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Demand for space at the Douglas County Fairgrounds — home of the annual county fair and other events — has exceeded capacity, county o cials say. e solution? A renovation that would take away some sports areas where youth teams can play.

At least that’s part of the proposal so far, a plan that has riled up the youth sports community in the Castle Rock area.

Mark Steinke, president of the local Raptors Athletics program, said he understands that the fairgrounds need to grow, but displacing kids out of the program “would decimate us.”

“Probably 60% of all of our stu that we do is in the fairgrounds,” Steinke said during a contentious

town hall discussion in front of county leaders that included some interruptions from the audience.

At that gathering in Castle Rock, o cials faced the question of whether there’s a plan to build other sports elds to ensure kids don’t lose space.

Tim Hallmark, the county’s director of facilities, said o cials don’t know how the plan will unfold until it’s nalized.

But Abe Laydon, one of the county’s three elected commissioners, appeared to give a commitment to youth athletes.

“I will never displace your kids on my watch,” Laydon said, adding:

“I’m not going to vote to move one speck of dirt until we have sports facilities and elds that are as good or better than what we currently have.”

At the end of the town hall, where

many young people sat wearing youth sports uniforms, the question of how the county might preserve or acquire new sports elds remained unanswered.

But the commissioners appeared to suggest that the county’s parks funding might help solve the problem.

“We’re not going to ask Tim (Hallmark) to solve that problem — we are going to ask our parks director to solve that problem,” Commissioner George Teal said.

He also pointed to an upcoming town hall on June 27 as a discussion that could shed more light on the question of space for youth sports.

Ultimately, the fairgrounds planning process is ongoing, and changes won’t come fast.

“Very aggressively, that would honestly take probably the entire

year of 2025 to where we were ready to start putting shovels in the dirt,” Hallmark said.

Leadup to plan

While many people are just now learning about the fairgrounds plan, discussion about the need for a plan began in the third quarter of 2022 with the county commissioners, Hallmark told the Douglas County News-Press.

e “fairgrounds master plan process over the last year and a half began with input from dozens of users of the fairgrounds,” county sta said in a statement.

Rabid bat found in Englewood, two people being treated

BY NINA JOSS NJOSS@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

A bat in Englewood has tested positive for rabies, bringing the state to a total number of ve rabies cases so far this year, according to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment.

Two people were exposed to the bat, which was found in the area near Quincy Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, according to a press release from Arapahoe County on May 22. ey have both begun treatment to prevent infection and illness, the release says.

“Rabies infection is a highly dangerous, and potentially fatal, disease transmitted primarily through scratches, bites or salvia exposure from a rabid animal,” the city of Englewood said in a Facebook post. “Any mammal can be infected, but local primary carriers are bats and skunks.”

e disease primarily a ects the central nervous system, leading to severe brain disease and death if medical care is not received before symptoms start, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Bats, like this one, and skunks are the primary carriers of rabies in Colorado.

Rabies is usually fatal in humans once symptoms appear, and preventative treatment can be administered soon after exposure, the state health department says. In 2023, there were over 50 cases of rabid animals in Colorado, with one in Arapahoe County, according to the health department. Of those cases, 47 were in bats.

If you, a family member or a pet has come into direct contact with a bat, especially if it was near Quincy Avenue and Santa Fe Drive, Arapahoe County Public Health recommends immediately reaching out to a health care provider and Arapahoe County Public Health at 303734-4379 to evaluate risk and any need for treatment.

“It’s important to take possible exposure to rabies seriously, even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal,” Melissa Adair, county communicable dis-

ease epidemiology manager, said in a press release. “For example, if you have a bat in your home, it can be di cult to even know if you’ve been bitten, as bat bites are tiny, often painless and can happen quickly while you’re trying to catch the animal or are asleep.”

e state health department recommends that people stay away from wild animals and vaccinate their dogs, cats, pet ferrets and mammalian livestock against rabies.

If a person comes into contact with a bat or is bitten, they should report the animal to the county health department and call their doctor immediately.

‘It’s important to take possible exposure to rabies seriously, even if it doesn’t seem like a big deal.’

Asked about growing demand for event space at the fairgrounds, Hallmark told the News-Press: “ e substantial, sustained demand for fairgrounds uses by organizations, as well as use by the public, has evolved over the past ve years.”

But three ball elds near the eastern edge of the fairgrounds property could be converted to new uses.

“We did our best to have as minimal an impact as we could,” but the fairgrounds are “landlocked,” with limited options for change, Hallmark said. at’s because the fairgrounds area

ELECTION

e other candidates on the ballot for the special election include Frank Atwood of the Approval Voting Party, Hannah Goodman of Libertarian Party and Trisha Eloise Calvarese of the Democratic Party. Of the candidates, only Calvarese is also on a primary ballot.

Lopez became Parker’s third mayor at the age of 27 during a growth period in the 1990’s. In a statement, Toborg said he is honored to endorse Lopez as he helped create a successful path for the town.

Lopez, who describes himself as a “principal-holder GOP candidate,” said in a statement that he is looking forward to working closely with Toborg and wants to ensure that Parker “is a safe place to live, work, play and pray.”

Following Buck’s resignation in March, Lopez was selected by a Republican committee to run in the 4th District special election.

Looking at the proposed parking areas, Laydon at theMay 16 town hall asked whether the county could build a parking garage to save space for a sports area.

But in the current market, building a parking garage would cost thousands of dollars per parking space, Hallmark said.

“In the past there was a conversation about moving the fairgrounds to a di erent location in the county altogether,” Commissioner Lora omas said in her email newsletter. “But after much research and searching, the decision was made to leave the fairgrounds where it is located, in part, because of the excellent location just o I-25.”

Looking to parks funding

Teal pointed to voter-approved sales tax revenue for parks and open space in the county when talking about a solution for youth sports elds.

Laydon echoed that, saying the county will have $330 million over the next 15 years for parks and recreation purposes.

“No kids will be moved from this fairgrounds until we have a plan,” Laydon said.

Other Republicans who sought out the nomination were state Sen. Ted Harvey, former congressional sta er Chris Phelen, Floyd Trujillo, state Reps. Richard Holtorf and Mike Lynch, former 2nd Congressional District nominee Peter Yu and state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg.

Democrats running in the primary include John Padora Jr., Isaac “Ike” McCorkle and Calvarese.

Since becoming a U.S. House District 4 Vacancy Election candidate, Lopez has also received endorsements from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Congressmen Doug Lamborn and Jim Jordan, Home Majority Leader Steve Scalise and the Colorado Republican Party.

Lopez is not running in the primary election which will be held in November.

Calvarese, who was selected as the Democratic candidate in the special election, has received endorsements from those such as state Rep. Leslie Herod, Former Commissioner of Agriculture John Stulp, U.S. Rep. Brittany Pettersen and Attorney General Phil Weiser.

Meeting people where they are

In every aspect of life, whether personal or professional, the ability to connect with others on their level is invaluable. It’s a simple concept, yet profoundly transformative: Meet people where they are. is approach not only fosters understanding and empathy but also builds the foundation for trust and cooperation. Consider the example of bringing a rescue puppy into a new home. Often, these animals are skittish or fearful, possibly due to past traumas or unfamiliarity with their new environment. When a puppy hides under a table, its behavior is a natural response to fear. e most e ective way to build trust with this new member of the family is to physically get down on their level. By lying on the ground and showing vulnerability, you communicate in a language that the puppy understands, that you are not a threat, but a protector. is simple act can make a signi cant di erence in how quickly the puppy adapts and begins to trust its new environment.

Similarly, when a young child, perhaps an infant, meets a relative like a grandfather for the rst time, there might be initial shyness or reluctance. If the grandfather sits on the oor and engages with the child using their toys, he demonstrates that he is willing to enter the child’s world. is approach breaks down barriers and creates a connection that respects the child’s current developmental stage. is principle is equally critical in the workplace, particularly in leadership roles. Consider a corporate executive who spends most of their time in a corner o ce, removed from the day-to-day operations of other departments. To

Such actions show a commitment to understanding the challenges and successes of di erent parts of the organization from a ground-level perspective.

Perhaps nowhere is this approach more critical than in sales. Salespeople are the bridge between a company and its customers, and an executive can learn a great deal by joining them in the eld. Meeting with prospects and existing customers o ers rsthand insight into the market’s response to the company’s o erings, competitive challenges, and the e ectiveness of sales strategies. is direct feedback is invaluable for re ning approaches and staying aligned with market needs.

e philosophy of meeting people where they are extends beyond direct interactions. It in uences corporate culture and impacts customer relations. For instance, companies that design products or services with a keen understanding of their users’ needs are more likely to succeed.

e bene ts of this approach are manifold. In personal settings, it deepens relationships and creates a safe space for growth and acceptance. In professional environments, it enhances leadership e ectiveness, promotes a more engaged workforce, and leads to better business outcomes through a deeper understanding of operational realities and market dynamics.

Ultimately, whether it’s a scared puppy, a cautious child, or a diverse workforce, taking the time to understand and engage with others at their level not only enriches these interactions but also drives success across various aspects of

Find your creative outlet at Denver Fringe Festival

The performing arts often have a reputation as only taking place in rare ed spaces, where only certain people have access to them. e whole idea of the Denver Fringe Festival is to burst that bubble and show that creativity can happen anywhere.

“Our approach is arts for all,” said Ann Sabbah, executive director of the annual event. “We look for all types of performers in all kinds of genres to take part and we strive to keep the price point at a very a ordable level.”

e Denver Fringe Festival is back for its fth year, running from ursday, June 6, through Sunday, June 9, across 20 venues and locations, mostly concentrated in the RiNo and Five Points neighborhoods. is year’s event features more than 60 original shows, the bulk of which cost only $15. And 70 percent of all ticket sales go right back to the performers. Some of the shows audiences can

explore include: King Penny Radio: An Improvised 1940s Radio Show; Raw Groove, which features dance and live musical performances that take audiences on an Afrofuturistic journey through various movements and sounds of the Black diaspora; and Cirque du Cinéma, which combines burlesque, aerial, dance and camp nostalgia.

ere are also a couple of new features this year for attendees to check out.

e rst is the FringeART show, which is visual arts focused and will be on display through June 21 at Ironton Distillery, 3636 Chestnut Place. e other new feature is the Fringe Free-For-All, a locally-driven program bringing free performances to various streets and spaces in the neighborhoods. ese performances will include circus arts, magic and illusion, immersive experiences and more.

“One of the most fun parts of the festival is the variety of venues audiences will get to experience,” Sabbah said. “Some performances are in more traditional theaters and art

Radio: Show; dance that Afrofuturistic movements diaspora; comand feacheck show, and 21 Chestnut the locally-driven performances the performances iland the audiSabare art

galleries, but you’ll also be able to visit everywhere from comedy clubs to event rooms at a brewery and even a video studio. is all makes for a much more intimate and immersive experience.”

e festival is also family friendly, with the free KidsFringe event, which features two original shows for kids, various forms of puppetry, a puppet meet and greet, and more.

ere’s no right way to approach an event like the Fringe Festival. Sabbah recommends people do some exploring and maybe try something new and that way a person can see what catches their interest.

“ is is a true community event that allows people to participate in intimate and immediate performances that are very original and creative,” she said. “It’s a new take on what the performing arts can be and it can be really energizing.”

one-woman show to Denver Fringe Festival

Lauren Hance will perform her one-woman award-winning comedy show “Holy O” at the 2024 Denver Fringe Festival on June 6, 7 and 9.

“ e Denver Fringe Festival does a fantastic job,” Hance said. “I have a lot of family and friends who live in the Denver area. So, it was a nice combination to be able to take my show to a place where a lot of people that I know can come and see it.”

Director and developer Amelia Peterson described the show as a cross between “Fleabag” and “ e Vagina Monologues.”

“It’s for audiences who are up for something playful, heartwarming, and experimental,” Peterson said.

In “Holy O,” Hance plays Vera in a solo comedy performance in which the audience becomes part of the play directly from their seats. e main character, Vera, contemplates becoming a nun but can’t let go of her vibrators.

“ e onset of rapturous prayers complicates her situation, leading the audience to assume the role of an advice-giving saint,” Hance said.

“As Vera’s story unfolds, it intertwines with choose-your-ownadventure stories that explore the connection of body, spirit and sexuality,” Hance continued. “Along the way, the audience helps Vera make some of the biggest decisions of her life, starting with what shirt to wear.”

Hance was born and raised at the Air Force Academy in Colorado

Springs but now lives in Houston. As a little girl, Hance said she already had the personality to be an entertainer.

“When I was a little girl, my mom would put me in the grocery cart. She said I babbled before I even talked,” Hance said.

Hance said her mother decided she had to do something with her since she was very entertaining and thought she would put her play. So, in elementary school, she joined the school play and YMCA.

“It was the best thing ever. I love it. It was what I wanted to do since I was a little girl,” she said.

Hance studied theater at Abilene Christian University in West Texas and started as an actress. She graduated with a degree in Directing.

“Like many performers, you go out into the world and try to get into act-

ing. When I was in Texas, it was hard to make a complete living as an actor, no matter where you live,” Hance said.

“ ey have a great auxiliary campus in Houston with a good arts and culture program. I also liked many teachers who were interested in lm and all forms of art,” she continued.

Hance also has a master’s degree in theology, arts, and culture from Fuller eological Seminary. She said that “Holy O” was part of her thesis project.

“Now, I take it on the road to di erent festivals,” Hance said.

Hance travels coast to coast, producing, being a playwright and directing theater. She also hosts and produces a podcast, “What is Fringe?”

FESTIVAL

Hance said Peterson helped her develop and direct “Holy O.” She spent her career working with playwrights and presenting at festivals, such as the Kennedy Center’s Page to Stage Festival and the New York International Fringe Festival.

“I’m also working now with Cathy Lam-Patrie, a co-director. She is helping me with some more acting because Amelia has been a part of this show, but my show is self-producing, and she is taking a pause to work on some other projects in Knoxville,” Hance said.

Hance said Cathy Lam-Patrie is an internationally recognized producer from Hong Kong who is devoted to advancing justice-focused work. In 2023, she received the Edinburgh Fringe First Award for “A Funeral for My Friend Who Is Still Alive.”

“Amelia is all groovy about me getting assistance because we’re all in it for the betterment of the piece. We had long conversations about the development process,” Hance said. “We sent me o to do my work with festivals.”

In addition to several other awards, “Holy O” received a “Best of Fringe” award from DC eatre Arts and was described by reviewer Ari Rogers as “a deeply moving, uniquely intimate, and spiritual exploration of sexuality.”

“It was exciting to receive these awards. is is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done artistically because it’s self-produced, and I’m the writer and the performer,” Hance said.

Hance said that on the business side, she does all the work, sending out press releases and learning how to do that process, advertising and getting people to the show.

“It’s been one of the hardest things I’ve done but also one of the best things that I’ve ever done,” she said. “I’ve grown so much, and my ability to believe in myself, who I am and what I can do, and how I can impact the world.”

Hance said she is very relational, and her show is very relational. e audience gets very involved, which excites her.

“I love connecting with people and

creating space for them to feel the experience. It feels good when other people recognize my work and really believe what I’m doing. And it’s nice when other people say they believe in what I’m doing,” Hance said.

“Denver has a vibrant art scene. It’s inspiring to come to a city that supports the arts, and the Fringe Festival is received well. I’m particular about where I go because it costs a lot of time and money to take a show somewhere and the place that is going and want it to be successful within the art scene and the festival,” Hance continued.

Hance’s “Holy O” performances during the Denver Fringe Festival will be at Big Up Studios, 3410 Blake St., Denver, CO 80205.

“Holy O” showtimes are at 8 p.m. ursday, June 6, 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 7, and 5:30 p.m. Sunday, June 9.  Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at https://denverfringe.org/ shows/holy-o/. For more information about the show, go to theholyoplay.com.

The Denver Fringe Festival

Now in its fth year running, this

year’s Denver Fringe Festival boasts more than 150 performances, including 60 original productions that include theater, dance, circus, comedy, cabaret and more. e four-day festival, which takes place June 6-9, will take place in roughly 20 venues, primarily located in Denver’s RiNo and Five Points, and a satellite location in Aurora.

In addition to “Holy O,” some other highlights include “King Penny Radio,” an improvised 1940’s radio show complete with costumes and old-timey piano music; “Disko Boy,” a family-friendly drag show featuring Hans L’Adida; and “Raw Groove: Life of the Party,” which will take audience members on an Afrofuturistic journey with dance and live musical performances.

“To be able to produce a show and have the right exposure is hard to come by,” said Constance Harris with Raw Groove. “With the network that Denver Fringe has in place with venues and audiences, it cuts out some of the obstacles and allows artists to produce what they want.”

Harris, who is also known by her stage name Connie Love, is partici-

pating in the festival for the rst time this year.

Even more to look forward to this year are additional experiences such as “On e Fringes,” which is a visual art exhibit that will be on display through June 21 at Ironton Distillery in Denver; and Fringe Free-For-All, which will consist of a variety of performances in free-entry venues and street performances.

“We’re really manifesting our goal of making the arts accessible to all,” said Ann Sabbah, executive director of the Denver Fringe Festival, in a press release. “ e elements we’re adding this year allow us to support more independent artists, collaborate within the community and share live performance art with more people. We’re ve years in and the re for Fringe is burning bright.”

e Denver Fringe Festival is known for providing “unjuried, uncensored and unconventional art” to all. ose wanting a more family-friendly experience can attend KidsFringe, which o ers two free shows catered for an audience of kids and families.

Colorado EV sales dropped o by one measure

But green economy enthusiasts say overall electric vehicle trends are strong

BY MICHAEL BOOTH

Sales of clean fuel vehicles in Colorado slowed in the rst quarter of 2024 despite a growing stack of lucrative rebates available, according to the Colorado Auto Dealers Association, though some green economy enthusiasts said overall electric vehicle trends are strong.

Battery-only electric vehicles, the largest category of clean fuel combinations, went a bit soft at a time they’re supposed to be on a steady growth arc Colorado needs in order to reach 940,000 EVs on the road by 2030, a long-stated target. A climbing number of EV sales is crucial to both the ozone cuts needed to get out from under EPA sanctions, and to meet the state’s greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Perhaps extra worrisome is that the drop also came as a number of lucrative, stackable incentives for buying EVs kicked in. Lower-income buyers who qualify can pile up federal, state, Xcel and a special cashfor-clunkers deal to get as much as about $21,000 o a new EV.

Despite the incentives, the share of full battery-electric vehicles new-

about 8,900 in late 2023. at’s out of total new vehicle registrations of about 48,000.

e drop also diverged from overall vehicle sales in Colorado, which rose 2.8%, slower than national sales growth averages but still welcome to dealers making up for sales lost during the pandemic shutdowns.

Combining the two clean-vehicle categories, battery electric and plugin electric hybrids, put Colorado’s share at 19% of overall sales so far in 2024, down from 20.4% in late 2023.  e news follows signs of similar

of the Colorado Auto Dealers Asso-

clearinghouse reported nationally that, “following record highs in December 2023, the EV market has been o to a slow start through the rst two months of 2024. January saw just over 119,000 light-duty EVs sold which was down 20% from the previous month. February saw sales slip another 10% to just over 107,000, representing the lowest total since February 2023.”

Colorado would have been worse o without all its EV incentives, which helped hold sales relatively steady, said Matthew Groves, chief

“We’d also like to think it’s because dealers are working collaboratively with the state, not antagonistically,” Groves said, including getting educated on incentives and having them taken o at the cash register whenever possible to ease the buying process.

‘Incredible progress’ despite slow work to set up Colorado incentives At least one green energy advocate in Colorado said quarterly changes in EV sales should not be alarming compared to the overall arc of clean fuel growth.

SALES

“When I look at the data, I see incredible progress,” said Travis Madsen, transportation program director at the nonpro t Southwest Energy E ciency Project. He noted that not all the cash Colorado incentives were available until April, as the Public Utilities Commission and Xcel worked out how many different rebates could be “stacked” together for one car.

“I’m not worried about market shifts from quarter to quarter,” he said. “I see a fundamental transformation of vehicle technology underway, I think it is unstoppable, and I think it o ers massive bene ts for our economy, our health, and our climate. ere’s a lot of work left to do to unlock the full bene t, and the transition is likely to happen with some ts and starts.”

Madsen pointed to di erent numbers kept on the state’s EV “dashboard.”

“ ere’s no slowdown visible,” he said. e state dashboard says new EV registrations climbed from 10.8% in the fourth quarter of 2023 to just under 11% in the beginning of 2024, Madsen said. Adding in plug-in electric hybrids, considered clean energy vehicles under state rules, and the share climbs from 15.6% in the third quarter of 2023 to 17.1% last quarter.

Other databases may include cars that are bought elsewhere and registered for the rst time in Colorado, not just new Colorado sales, Madsen said.

Given the challenges of consistently hitting EV sales targets, CADA’s Groves said, the trade group is glad Colorado regulators did not follow other states in mandating 100% EV sales by 2035. Instead, Colorado settled on an 80% target for 2032, and did not try to mandate

markets after that, Groves said.  “ ose states that are looking at an internal combustion engine ban in 2035 are looking at it as unattainable and unserious, given the national trendlines in consumer sentiment,” Groves said. “Colorado stepped back and gave a more serious goal, and I think industry got more serious about pursuing it.”

Potential EV sales hit the news again this week with President Joe Biden announcing a 100% tari on Chinese-manufactured EVs that have U.S. automakers very worried.

e small EVs get great reviews for performance and are priced in China at the equivalent of just $12,000. e Colorado Energy O ce, the hub of clean energy and electri cation policy for the state, has echoed the view that moderate uctuations in new EV sales are expected. Incentives take time to fully kick in, companies phase out some models and consumers wait for new ones and higher interest rates on loans

complicate decisions.

“We’re excited Colorado ranks third in the nation in EV market share, up from sixth this time last year, and that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles sales continue to increase, representing the largest PHEV market share in the country,” energy o ce chief Will Toor said. “We are also thrilled that the year-over-year growth is signicant, with a 44% increase in total EV market share between Q1 2023 and Q1 2024, growing from 13.2% to 19%.”

News of a “bumpy ride,” Madsen said, “applies more to the national story, and we’re doing better in Colorado to manage those bumps with a very comprehensive policy environment.”

is story was printed through a news sharing agreement with e Colorado Sun, a journalist-owned nonpro t based in Denver that covers the state.

Area high school swimmers headline the roster of Coloradans qualified for U.S. Olympic trials

Between slews of di erent strokes, roughly 320,000 competitive swimmers across America come up for air unsure of their placings as they compete against other swimmers and themselves.

e athletes can only hope with bated breath that their score is Olympic-worthy when they breach for the nal time. Only about 800 will make it.

Just seven swimmers registered to Colorado clubs emerged victorious, o cially qualifying for the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Indianapolis on June 15-23. Two are high schoolers from the Denver metro area.

Douglas County High School’s Mila Nikanorov and Cherry Creek High School’s Charlotte Wilson headline the group. Both (recently graduated) seniors are rst-team all-state Colorado swimmers and multiple Class 5A state champions. Both also swam club for Highlands Ranch Athletics.

“Ever since I was 13, it was something that I wanted to do. It was a big goal,” Nikanorov, an Ohio State commit, said. “I had smaller goals to keep track of the progress and not make it seem unreachable. I really pride myself in knowing that I stuck with something for at least four years. I got my rst trials cut when I was 17.”

To qualify for the trials, athletes must post a qualifying time standard.

e necessary qualifying times to earn a

trip to Indianapolis are at www. usaswimming.org/.

Because of the registry process for the team trials, athletes may have been born in Colorado but are currently training elsewhere, so they won’t be on this list. Here is the list of registered Coloradans who quali ed, according to USA Swimming:

Mila Nikanorov (age 18 from Douglas County); Charlotte Wilkson (age 17 from Cherry Creek); Madi Mintenko (age 16 from Colorado Springs); Joshua Corn (age 19 from Morrison); Gavin Keogh (age 16 from Erie); Ben Sampson (age 21 from Arvada); Morgan Lukinac (age 20 from Boulder).

Nikanorov recently swam the second-fastest time in Colorado history in the 500-meter freestyle at the high school state competition (4:42.49), just missing Olympian

Missy Franklin’s record by 0.77 seconds. Her time is currently the fastest high school time in the 500-meter freestyle in the country this year, and the second-fastest time in state meet history in all classi cations.

Wilson led Cherry Creek to its fourth straight 5A title and is a twotime individual state champion. Her time of 52.90 in the 100-meter backstroke is the third-fastest time in state meet history among all classi cations.

“It was something I had on my goal list for this year,” Wilson, a University of Virginia commit, said. “I had been trying to qualify for a year and a half since the times came out for quali cations because I’ve been super close for a while.” e multi-year commitment to this goal doesn’t stop now.

Mila Nikanorov recently swam the second-fastest time in Colorado history in the 500-meter freestyle at the high school state competition (4:42.49), just missing Olympian Missy Franklin’s record by 0.77 seconds. She will swim for Ohio State University this fall. COURTESY

SPLASH

Both Wilson and Nikanorov are determined to display their best showings in Indy this summer but are relishing the accomplishment of just getting there.

“I’m just going to have fun with it. I’m already there,” Nikanorov said. “I’m just going to enjoy myself with the experience of going to the biggest meet in the country. I’ve been working on mental skills, just keeping myself calm especially knowing I’m going to be competing at such a high level with very fantastic swimmers as well.”

Positive self-talk is a tool swimmers rely on in what is arguably the most mental sport of them all, Nikanorov said.

It can be easy to get into a negative mindset during di cult sets, so utilizing one or two positive afrmations is more powerful than one might think.

feel coming from Colorado helps

“You have to race fast people to go fast times,” she said. “Having that group of fast swimmers in Colorado, especially people doing distance, which is what I do, really helps me. e competitive aspect of racing people in the state has helped me improve. I’ve practiced with some people from other (Colorado) teams which has been challenging but helpful to see what I can do to improve my training.”

Of the 800 at the trials, a max of 52 (26 men and 26 women) can make the Olympic Team.

Even if Wilson and Nikanorov don’t continue their path to Paris this summer, the locals are excited about the learning opportunity, picking the brains of the best swimmers in the nation this summer.

“Swimming is a really big mental game,” Wilson said. “You can be perfectly physically ready to swim super fast, but any mental doubt or mental hiccup is probably the biggest aspect of not falling short of your goals. For me, the biggest thing is being mentally ready and prepared to swim as fast as I can.”

But mental fortitude can only take you so far, especially once you reach the “top of the top of the top”,

as Wilson put it. Team trials can be the best place to learn and soak up skills from the best in the country, whether you make the Olympic cut or not, Wilson said.

e two Division I swimmers both

“I’m just so excited to swim with the greatest ever,” Wilson said. “I think it’s every swimmer’s goal when they’re little: ‘Wow, I want to make the Olympics.’ I’m just so excited to start training in college and to try and push my limits of what I think is possible for myself.”

Mila Nikanorov takes a beat between races. The 18-year-old from Douglas County currently holds the fastest high school time in the 500-meter freestyle in the country, and the second-fastest time in Colorado meet history in all classifications.

5 Coloradans advance to final qualifying for U.S. Open

BY JOHN RENFROW JRENFROW@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

It’ll be a master-versus-apprentice situation for Littleton’s Jason Preeo and Englewood’s Jake Staiano; both are among ve Coloradans who advanced out of the U.S. Open local qualifying round at Collindale Golf Course in Fort Collins on April 30.

Preeo has coached Staiano since Staiano was a golfer at Valor Christian High School, and both tied with 69 at Collindale to advance to thenal qualifying round. Aurora’s Derek Fribbs also scored 69 for a three-way tie for rst.

“We’ve battled it out in the past,” said Staiano, a 2015 Eagles alum. “Whenever I see [Preeo’s] name in local qualifying rounds, I always know there’s probably one less spot than you’re looking for. He’s gotten through so many years. It was kind of funny to talk to him after the round.”

After the rst-place tie between Preeo, Staiano and Fribbs, AJ Ott from Fort Collins and Connor Jones from Denver tied for fourth with 71 to round out the ve advancing.

“I’ve actually taught Jake for probably eight or nine years when he was in high school and college, so I’m super familiar with his game and everything he’s doing,” Preeo said between lessons at Metagolf Learning Center in Englewood. “And I knew Derek from coaching kids on his team when he was at CU, and AJ as well. So, you can see the depth of the eld and it was one of the stronger ones that I’ve seen a while. It’s a matter of keeping your head down, keeping going and posting the best score you can.” e ve Coloradans will have a

Preeo said he isn’t so sure that his rivalry with Staiano can be described as “master versus apprentice” anymore.

“No, he’s better,” Preeo said, laughing. “ ere was a time I would say I could still beat him, but he would have been a high school kid. But he’s better.”

Staiano would love to beat Preeo as much as Preeo would like to beat
