Commissioners oppose unionization e ort underway at Douglas County Sheri ’s O ce

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Douglas County’s elected leaders say they stand with Sheri Darren Weekly in opposition to an e ort to unionize the sheri ’s o ce, arguing the move would hamper the interests of employees and the public.

“We believe a union would not only interfere with the e ective delivery of the exceptional law enforcement you’ve come to expect from your sheri ’s o ce but also not be in the best interests of the employees who work there,” County Commissioner Lora omas said in a March 25 video message with her fellow commissioners.

Union representation of the sheri ’s o ce could enable employees to negotiate salaries, bene ts and other aspects of their jobs through collective bargaining, a possibility the sheri ’s o ce leadership opposes.

In the video statement, County Commissioner Abe Laydon said the union e ort now has enough signatures to force an election to determine whether deputies want to be represented by the Fraternal Order of Police.

Douglas County Sheri Darren Weekly speaks at a Feb. 29 news conference to call attention to scams targeting older adults. He spoke alongside area police chiefs at the sheri ’s o ce in the Castle Rock area.

County extends public health order for migrants

BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

O cials have extended a public health order that requires entities or individuals who would send groups of migrants to shelter in Douglas County to provide personal information about the migrants, including their country of origin, health screenings and other details.

e extension of the order, rst issued in December, is linked to the tens of thousands of migrants, many from Venezuela, arriving in Denver in recent months.

“Our board believes — for the preservation of public health, safety

and welfare in Douglas County — that this public health order is still necessary in the unlikely event that migrants are placed in Douglas County,” Michael Hill, director of the Douglas County Health Department, said in a prepared statement.

Months ago, the county’s Board of Health adopted an order with requirements for any entity that sends migrants to the county for shelter.

At the time, the county had called that public health order “preemptive,” saying o cials had no reason to believe that nearby governments intended to turn to the county to shelter migrants.

Meanwhile, Douglas leaders are

responding to the migrant crisis in other ways. Even though o cials were not aware of any migrants being dropped o in Douglas County as of mid-March, the county’s elected leaders arepoised to enact an ordinance to prevent bus drivers from unloading passengers in “unplanned locations.”

e order remains in e ect until it is rescinded by the county health board, according to its text.

Of the roughly 40,000 migrants that have been tracked by o cials in Denver, not all stay. e city has purchased about20,000 one-way bus tickets for new arrivals looking to go to other cities, e Colorado Sun reported. People often request to go where they have friends or family who have already settled, and Chicago and New York City have been the top destinations for one-way bus tickets, the Sun reported.

Others may stay in Denver initially, but later move to other Colorado

cities or states in search of jobs or cheaper housing.

Man gets 12 years for DUI crash near Castle Pines

las, Arapahoe, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

A 65-year-old man received a 12year prison sentence from a judge in Douglas County after a threevehicle crash on Interstate 25 in a driving under the in uence of alcohol case.

Prosecutors pushed for the long sentence for a repeat o ender.

“ is defendant’s actions showed a complete disregard for the safety of others,” Deputy District Attorney Keegan Doheney said in a prepared statement. “Fortunately, no one was killed in this preventable crash. I hope this sentence serves as a warning that the 18th Judicial DA’s O ce will prosecute DUI cases to the fullest extent.”

James Truskolaski was weaving in and out of tra c on the interstate in the Castle Pines area at a high speed when he rear ended a Chevrolet Suburban, according to the DA’s o ce that covers Doug-

Colorado State Patrol was dispatched to the crash on I-25 around 11 p.m. Jan. 9, 2023. After Truskolaski hit the Suburban, it collided with another car. Truskolaski went o the road and up an embankment before coming back into trafc and eventually stopping.

e drivers of the Suburban and Audi both su ered major injuries but survived. Truskolaski, also taken to the hospital for treatment, came under suspicion for drinking when a trooper smelled alcohol on his breath and noticed his eyes were bloodshot and watery. e trooper’s subsequent report noted he was slurring his words, according to prosecutors.

A criminal-records search of Truskolaski found nine prior DUIrelated convictions, said Eric Ross, spokesperson for the DA’s o ce.

Migrants from Venezuela who have arrived in Denver in recent months have stayed in and around a Quality Inn hotel near Speer Boulevard and Zuni Street, used as a temporary shelter by Denver Human Services.

New Law: Landlords Can’t Refuse to Rent to Tenants Who Are ‘Rent-Burdened’

A long-term “rule of thumb” has been that one shouldn’t have to spend more than 30% of their income on housing, but a legislative bill signed into law last June stipulates that landlords cannot refuse to rent to a tenant for whom their monthly rent would equal up to 50% of their income.

The National Council for Credit Counseling (www,nfcc.org) says, “The general rule of thumb is that housing costs should be no more than 30% of your gross income. This includes rent or mortgage payments; homeowner association fees; and utilities like gas, electricity, water, and internet.”

to the refused tenant.

The bill in question, SB23-184, is titled “Protections for Residential Tenants.” It states that “A landlord may not require a prospective tenant to have an annual income that exceeds 200% of the annual cost of rent.” That’s another way of saying 50% of one’s annual income. And that figure does not include utilities in that 50%.

A violation is also an unfair housing practice subject to enforcement by private persons, the attorney general, and the Colorado Civil Rights Division. A violation carries an initial penalty of $50 payable to the applicant, and failure to cure (i.e., accept the tenant’s application) carries a $2,500 penalty, again paid

This new law not only has small landlords upset, it also has some tenant advocates upset. They point out that HUD doesn’t allow renters to be “rent burdened” over 30%. HUD says on its website that the 30% rule is “meant to protect low-income households from extreme rental costs. High housing costs and high prices for basic necessities place a greater burden on poor households living in metropolitan areas. Measures of affordability should be reassessed to ensure that policymakers are decreasing rental burdens for poor households.”

Public housing authorities nationwide are prohibited from charging more than 30% of a tenant’s income for rent under federal fair housing laws.

Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver bases mortgage payments on 30% of the homeowner’s annual salary at time of applying for a Habitat home and does not increase the payment if and when the homeowner’s income increases.

On its website, HUD acknowledges contrary opinions about the 30% rule, noting that 30% of a $500,000 income leaves sufficient funds for other household costs, whereas 30% of a $20,000 annual income does not.

Rather than measuring affordability using a rent-to-income ratio, Michael Stone of the University of Massachusetts Boston recommends a residual income approach, which measures cost burden by calculating the money a family has left for housing after other expenditures such as food, clothing, and medical costs are taken into account.

SB23-184 has other landlord-tenant provisions. It prohibits charging more

than twice the monthly rent for a security deposit, and it allows an existing tenant subject to an eviction action, irrespective of the percentage of income paid in rent, to assert as an affirmative defense that the landlord violated fair housing laws by evicting him/her.

I have no opinion about whether SB23-184 was a good idea. There will probably be more debate about it in coming months. What’s your opinion?

Houzz Report Shows Increase in Home Renovation Spending

With sellers and buyers both sitting on the fence more than usual, thanks to increased mortgage rates, it’s not surprising that both are investing in improvements of their current home, and that’s reflected in this year’s home renovation trends report from Houzz.com.

Here are some of the key findings in their 2024 report published last week based on 32,615 website users, including 17,713 home renovators, who participated in a survey regarding their 2023 spending.

The median amount spent on renovation in 2023 was up 60% from 2020 to $24,000. The median spend in the 90th percentile was up 77% to $150,000.

In just one year, the percentage who financed their project using credit cards surged 9 percentage points to 38%.

Distressed Commercial Real Estate Loans a Red Flag for Residential?

It’s no secret that commercial real estate has been in trouble with the shift to at-home work following the pandemic’s abatement. The vacancy rates in office buildings is still too high for some landlords to meet their financial obligations.

The numbers behind that trend were released last week by Bloomberg, which wrote about stressed collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) which bundle debt that would be considered too speculative for conventional mortgage-backed securities (MBOs). You may recall that MBOs full of sub-

prime loans were central to the collapse of the housing market in 2008, triggering the “great recession.”

berg, which wrote: “In just the last seven months, the share of troubled assets held by these niche products surged four-fold — rising by one measure to more than 7.4%. For the hardest hit, delinquency rates are in the double digits. That’s left major players in the $80 billion market rushing to rework loans while short sellers ramp up attacks on publicly-traded issuers.”

Many leveraged properties can’t be sold for what they owe their lenders.

Gen Xers edged out Baby Boomers, as they did last year, with a median spend of $25,000 vs. $24,000. When it came to big projects, the top 10% of Gen X renovators had a median spend of $180,000 compared to $131,000 for Baby Boomers.

The most commonly renovated room continued to be the kitchen, followed by guest bathroom, primary bathroom and living room — 29, 27, 25 and 21 percent respectively. The median kitchen project cost $24,000 (up 20% over 2022), and median bath project cost $15,000 (up 15% over 2022).

Distressed Commercial Real Estate CLOs

Themes from Lone Tree forum of GOP candidates for Congress

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

In the still crowded race for Colorado’s 4th Congressional District, Republican candidates sparred in a panel in Douglas County, hoping to capture voters’ attention ahead of primaries in June.

U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Rep. Richard Holtorf, Deborah Flora, Chris Phelen and former state Sen. Jerry Sonnenberg participated in the panel attended by a few hundred potential voters.

Colorado Rep. Mike Lynch had planned to attend, but stayed at the capitol to vote on gun legislation.

e panel’s hosts, Douglas County Republican Women, said they invited all of the candidates, but requested they have received at least $25,000 in individual contributions.

“We really want to hear from the candidates that

Republican unity or accountability?

At multiple points throughout the night, candidates took swipes at Boebert for her history of publicly taking fellow conservatives to task, including the vote to remove former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican. McCarthy was voted out by a narrow margin last year.

Most of the candidates said it’s crucial for Republicans should stand together against Democrats and avoid attacking each other.

are super serious about this and have a great chance of success,” Deborah Mulvey,

president of the Douglas County Republican Women, said.

Here are a few themes of the panel that took place in late March:

“I would never, ever vote with the Democrats to oust a Republican speaker,” Sonnenberg said. “You vote with your caucus on the policy stu and then you work in a backroom to gure out if you have an issue with the president or the speaker and you deal with it as a caucus.”

CANDIDATES

Holtorf echoed Sonnenberg, and said that accountability issues should be handled strategically.

“When Republicans ght Republicans, Democrats win,” he said.

Flora said she is not the “purge and purify” type and is not interested in crossing the aisle to work with Democrats, but rather building the conservative coalition.

“ is is a big tent with our tent poles rmly in the Constitution and we have the solutions, so come join us,” she said.

Boebert defended the removal of McCarthy, though she said she wasn’t happy with the timing of the vote. Boebert added that she regrets nominating U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican,for speaker, but doesn’t support a motion to vacate him at this time.

“I have no problem holding Republicans accountable, especially when we are making promises to voters and then make backroom deals and go a di erent direction,” Boebert said.

Defund and deregulate Candidates agreed that the preferred solutions for issues ranging from the economy to national defense and energy production are defunding and deregulating. ey argued that all of those issues, and others, would be improved with reduced, or even no, government regulation, taxation and other involvement.

e consensus among candidates is to defund the Department of Education, green energy subsidies and government-funded Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs or departments. Meanwhile, they favor deregulation for small businesses, education and energy production.

“ e best thing we can do for the private sector, small businesses, farmers and ranchers, is get government out of their lives,” Phelen said.

Some of the loudest claps of the night came when Flora spoke about abolishing the Department of Education. She suggested a voucherlike funding system instead.

“ e federal government should

have zero to do with our kids’ education,” Flora said. “ e money should follow the student, not the system.”

Boebert highlighted her legislative e orts to increase energy production in America with the introduction of the Restoring American Energy Dominance bill, which would repeal rules for oil and gas leasing.

“We need to be producing energy,” she said.

Locals vs. Lauren

With Boebert’s recent decision to not run again for her current seat in the 3rd Congressional District on the Western Slope and to move and run in the 4th, candidates with longer standing ties continue positioning themselves as better picks with more knowledge of the area and its constituents.

Sonnenberg, who is from Sterling in the northeast part of the state, said his roots and experience means he will hit the ground running as a replacement for U.S. Rep. Ken Buck, the Windsor Republican who stunned the political world last month when he unexpectedly retired, leaving the GOP with a slimmer majority in the House.

“Deep roots are important for electing somebody who understands the issues you face each and every day,” Sonnenberg said.

Flora touched on her history ghting for conservative values in Douglas County, at the heart of the 4th District, and at the state level. Phelen, also from Douglas County, highlighted his experience in Congress as chief of sta for U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn, of the 5th Congressional District, which includes Colorado Springs.

Holtorf pointed to his military service and time representing 16 of the 21 counties in the 4th District in the Colorado House.

“If you want veteran leadership and senior leadership, you’re looking at that guy,” Holtorf said. “I lead every day, as the whip in the statehouse and as a caucus member.”

In response to criticisms that she hasn’t been in the district long enough, Boebert said she may be new to the area, but she shares the same values as constituents and has a track record to demonstrate her conservative background.

“We’re gonna need another chair,” a man said, adding a vase of yellow owers to the collection.

e makeshift memorial is just one of several around the shopping center where residents from around Centennial are honoring and remembering their friend – an unhoused man, Garth Donato, who died after being struck by a car on East Arapahoe Road on a snowy March 25 morning.

Donato, 62, was struck near the intersection of South Fairfax Way around 5:47 a.m. in dark and cold conditions

as he attempted to push a shopping cart across the road, the Arapahoe County Sheri ’s O ce said. He was transported to a local hospital after the crash and pronounced dead.

e driver, who remained at the scene and was cooperating with ocials, the sheri ’s o ce said, will not be facing criminal charges in the case.

e Centennial Citizen has requested additional documentation from investigators.

In the day following Donato’s death, people who knew him started ooding social media with their condolences and memories. Donato was a regular at the Arapahoe Village supermarket, along with the nearby Starbucks and Garlic Knot Pizza & Pasta.

Some restaurants are special places for family times

One of our favorite dining experiences is at Fattoria in Avon, Colorado. As we allowed ourselves to experience everything that was happening around us, the more we realized why we enjoy this restaurant so very much. e exquisite food coupled with incredible service and watching as families dined and laughed, sharing their stories of skiing and snowboarding across three generations of family members, made our meal and our night out a wonderful experience.

In the realm of culinary experiences, there exists a unique and cherished category that seamlessly blends the sophistication of highquality dining with the joviality of family fun. ese establishments are not just places to satisfy one’s palate but serve as arenas for creating lasting memories and fostering familial bonds. From whimsical themes to interactive dining experiences, these restaurants have mastered the delicate art of catering to both discerning adults and playful children alike.

Picture this: You step into a whimsical wonderland adorned with vibrant colors, imaginative decor, and an ambiance that sparks joy in every corner. Welcome to the world of family-friendly ne dining. Here, the notion of upscale cuisine coexists harmoniously with the laughter of children and the chatter of adults. It’s a place where parents can savor gourmet delicacies while their little ones embark on culinary adventures of their own.

One hallmark of these establishments is their ability to cater to diverse palates without compromising on quality. While parents indulge in exquisitely crafted dishes prepared by seasoned chefs, children are treated to a menu designed specically for their tastes and preferences. From mini sliders to gourmet maca-

roni and cheese, every item is curated to appeal to young appetites while maintaining the culinary standards upheld by the establishment.

Beyond the immersive atmosphere and delectable cuisine, what truly sets these restaurants apart is their commitment to creating shared experiences for families. Whether it’s celebrating a birthday, hosting a family reunion, or simply enjoying a night out, these establishments go above and beyond to ensure that every moment is memorable. From personalized greetings to special surprises, they understand the importance of making guests feel valued and appreciated.

Moreover, these restaurants often incorporate elements of education and culture into their o erings, providing families with opportunities to learn and grow together. From themed menus that explore di erent cuisines to workshops that teach culinary skills, there’s always something new to discover. By fostering a sense of curiosity and exploration, these es-

tablishments inspire children to develop a lifelong appreciation for food and culture.

In a fast-paced world where quality time with loved ones is increasingly rare, these restaurants serve as sanctuaries where families can reconnect and create cherished memories. Here, laughter lls the air, and bonds are strengthened over shared meals and shared experiences. It’s not just about nourishing the body but also feeding the soul, leaving guests with a sense of warmth and contentment that lingers long after the meal has ended.

As society continues to evolve, so does the concept of dining out with family. Gone are the days of stu y establishments where children are seen but not heard. Instead, a new era of family-friendly ne dining has emerged, rede ning the way we experience food and fellowship. ese restaurants prove that highquality cuisine and family fun are

Castle Rock Water helps with savings of H2O and money

Spring is here. For many of our residents, that means sprucing up their landscaping to better enjoy their outdoor spaces when the weather warms up. is year, the Town of Castle Rock has great news for those interested in a low-maintenance, low-wateruse yard. We know that one of the largest obstacles to replacing grass is the cost. In fact, in the town’s 2023 community survey, residents felt a higher rebate would better incentivize them to undertake landscape renovations that reduce water consumption.

To assist more residents, Town Council approved an increase to the Water Conservation Rebate Incentive Program budget from $200,000 to $300,000. Additionally, a state grant of $50,000 provides an opportunity for qualifying residential customers to receive up to $3.50 per square foot — up from $1.50 last year — in ColoradoScape rebates.

David L. Corliss

When the state funding runs out, Castle Rock Water will still o er customers $2.50 per square foot.

Replacing water-guzzling grass with plants that do well in the local climate is one of our most e ective ways to conserve water. On average, customers see between 16% and 28% water savings by replacing high-water grass with low-water plants and hardscapes. Castle Rock Water is working to remove as many obstacles as possible to encourage property owners to undertake a ColoradoScape renovation.

In addition to a higher rebate amount, taking the Water Wiser course is no longer required to receive the rebate. e application does require a landscape inspection before beginning to verify that all rebate requirements can be met. ese requirements are necessary

so Castle Rock Water can prove quanti able water savings, which is essential to continue funding this rebate program.

A 2024 ColoradoScape rebate is available to both residential and nonresidential water customers now through Sept. 30 on a rst-come, rst-served basis. Visit CRconserve. com to nd the rebate application as well as additional resources to help with a ColoradoScape renovation, including workshops, a plant nder and design tips.

Rebates are also available to install ultra-high-e ciency toilets that can cut water use per ush by one third — saving both water and money. Customers can receive up to $150 per toilet for a maximum of four toilets per address. We’ll even recycle the porcelain from your old toilets for you. Installation of more e cient rotary nozzle sprinklers and whole-home water-monitoring systems that can alert homeowners

of possible leaks and other excessive water use also qualify for rebates. Funding for these rebate programs primarily comes from water waste violations and excessive-use charges. Apply for a rebate at CRconserve. com/Rebates.

Castle Rock Water is giving away a free ColoradoScape renovation to one creative residential customer. Enter to win a $9,000 front-yard makeover in the annual ColoradoScape contest by creating and sharing on social media an entertaining short video about conserving water in the landscape. e video must be shared publicly between April 1 and April 30, include a tag to @CRgov and be submitted using the entry form at CRconserve.com/ Contest. Five nalists will be chosen, and community members will vote for their favorite video.

David L. Corliss is the Castle Rock town manager.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Commissioner confusion

Under the auspices of the DougCo county commissioners, we now have multiple Public Health rules in e ect to fully cover what Exec Director Mike Hill “the unlikely event that migrants are placed in DougCo.” ese rules harken back to another county health proclamation - Commissioner Laydon’s April 2021 statement, “I want … Douglas County to be (the) rst county in the state to say that this pandemic is over.” Just a week or so before the fourth COVID wave hit Colorado.

Recently, the BoCC announced a lawsuit against the state related to the bar on ICE jailing people suspected of civil immigration violations. e following week, commissioners advanced an ordinance that would prohibit commercial vehicles from dropping o people in the county unannounced.

“We have a lot of concerned residents here on this,” Douglas County Commissioner George Teal said ursday. “It has reached a boiling point.” (Denver Post)

So, if anyone spots an immigrant or two out on the streets of Douglas County, take the following sequential actions: 1) sound the ve alarms outside of Teal’s boiling point; 2) send an extra $100 to the commissioners to cover legal fees du jour; and 3) as the last and nal option, contact Abe Laydon. He’ll o er a proclamation, and the migrant pandemic will be over.

Strive for street safety

I’m anxious almost every day for 15 minutes at around 3 o’clock. I’m waiting for my 14-year-old to noisily enter the house after his scooter ride home from school. He crosses Highlands Ranch Parkway, just a few miles up the road from where Alex Mackiewicz was tragically killed. I see the similarities of our boys and my heart breaks for his family.

Each day, in our community, people must cross Highlands Ranch Parkway and similar roads to reach schools, open space trails, shopping centers, workplaces and homes. And, in most cases, there isn’t a safe way to walk or ride.

Lloyd Guthrie, Roxborough Park

not mutually exclusive but rather complementary elements that together create a truly unforgettable dining experience.

e fusion of high-quality dining with family fun represents a delightful convergence of culinary artistry and heartfelt hospitality. ese restaurants o er far more than just a meal; they provide a gateway to a world of imagination, discovery and togetherness. So, the next time you’re craving a dining experience that caters to both discerning tastes and playful spirits, seek out one of these establishments and prepare to embark on a culinary journey unlike any other.

No amount of road deaths is acceptable or inevitable, and we can strive for zero in our community. A systemic approach that recognizes the inevitability of mistakes is needed to keep our communities and children safe. While we must invest in enforcement of tra c laws, we must also look at upstream prevention through reducing speeds in pedestrian areas, leveraging left turn arrows and safer crosswalks, protected bike lanes, pedestrian bridges, and other infrastructure and policies to save lives.

We have a collective responsibility to prevent additional tragedies from occurring. Let’s together urge our local leaders to take action and work toward safer streets and roads in our community.

Matthew Self, Highlands Ranch

Fattoria is one of our favorites for sure with a special shout out to Eli, Dave, Denitsa, James, Justin and all the other sta who create a wonderful experience. Do you already have a favorite ne-dining establishment that also provides the ambiance and intimacy of a fun family experience?

I would love to hear all about your favorite such restaurants at gotonorton@gmail.com, and when we can nd the time to enjoy an exquisitely prepared meal blended in a family friendly environment, it really will be a better than good life.

Local Irish pubs keep tradition of Celtic culture alive

BY MCKENNA HARFORD MHARFORD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Everyone wants to be Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, but luckily metro area residents can experience Gaelic culture any day of the year at local Irish pubs.

Irish pubs di er from the average sports bar or cocktail lounge, and not only because there’s guaranteed to be Guinness on the menu. A good pub is all about a welcoming and approachable environment, where patrons feel like one of the lads.

Colorado Community Media rounded up a few places to go for a pint and some shenanigans. Sláinte!

Nallen’s Irish Pub

1429 Market St., Denver

Nallen’s sells the most Guinness in Denver and it’s likely because the bar is known for the smoothest pour in town, per a trophy that proudly sits behind the bar.

John Nallen, an Ireland native who moved stateside in the ‘70s, said the secret to the perfect Guinness pour is patience.

“It’s a two-pour and you have to let it sit for a few minutes and then top it o ,” Nallen said. “We take the time to do it right.”

Nallen opened the bar with his family in 1992 and has since gained a reputation that’s led to hosting a number of celebrities, including Fergal Murray, who is a former brewmaster at Guinness, and musicians Toby Keith and U2.

e pub’s reputation has also

earned it a loyal group of regulars. Nallen said a comfortable and inviting atmosphere denes the Irish pub.

“ e local pub is kind of the living room of the Irish community,” Nallen said. “(Nallen’s) is a hang out place. ere’s no pressure.”

In addition to a variety of Irish whiskeys, the bar also has a selection of Irish creams, which it uses to make one of it’s signature drinks, the Shillelagh, a whiskey and cream mix. e drink is named after an Irish walking stick used by humans and leprechauns alike.

Landsdowne Arms

9352 Dorchester St., Highlands Ranch

As Landsdowne Arms prepares for its 20th anniversary next year, it’s busier than ever, fresh o a record-breaking St. Patrick’s Day weekend for the restaurant.

“Post COVID, to have such a big weekend, even though we don’t stay open until 2 a.m. anymore, is really incredible,” Steven Gregory, general manager at Landsdowne Arms, said. “We’re glad for our regular families we have come in.”

Gregory said the restaurant offers a family-friendly pub experience that blends Irish and Latino culinary dishes, drawing inspiration from the mix of cultures on sta . For example, the menu features traditional sh and chips, as well as sh tacos made with fried cod.

Nallen’s is known for having the best Guinness pour in the area, having won a trophy for their pints. Nallen said it all comes down to patience.

PUB, P15

IRISH PUB

“We have great Irish food and a meld of Irish and Latino culture beyond the Irish fare,” he said.

Other specialties are the Reuben, a roast beef sandwich dubbed the Dubliner and the Irish whiskey chicken and mushrooms.

At the bar, Landsdowne Arms serves up more than 45 varieties of Irish whiskeys and scotchs. ey also have their own take on the Irish car bomb called the Left Hook, which uses Hard Chaw Irish cream instead of Bailey’s.

e space includes a rooftop patio and private library room with a replace for events.

Darcy’s Bistro and Pub

4955 South Ulster St., #103, Denver e sister restaurant to Landsdowne Arms, pub-goers will nd a similar vibe and menu at this location, which opened in 2002. Gregory said it’s a popular date night spot thanks to its cozy atmosphere.

“Couples often come in to split a sh and chips or a Reuben,” he said, Chef Jorge Garcia is known to add special menus for holidays, like Mardi Gras and Oktoberfest, as well as serving the classics. Specialties include bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie and sh and chips.

e bar o ers a selection of more than 20 Irish whiskeys and scotch options, as well as a rotating taplist alongside the usual Guinness and Smithwick’s. On Wednesdays, the bar has Jameson, Tullamore Dew and Bushmills for $7.

When describing what de nes an Irish pub, Gregory joked “mostly Jameson.”

Ned Kelly’s Irish Pub

5686 South Sycamore St., Littleton

Located in the heart of downtown Littleton, Ned Kelly’s opened in 2009 as a “raggedy local spot,” as Megan Casey, operating partner at Ned Kelly’s, put it, before growing into the establishment it is today.

Casey said the pub is beloved for its friendly environment where everyone is a regular.

“It’s a ‘Cheers’-like establishment,” Casey said. “Plenty of chat and fun, and always a bit of shenanigans.”

e pub serves a small menu of pizza and snacks from Grande Station, but there’s nothing small about the

drink selection. Ned Kelly’s advertises having one of the widest-ranging liquor selections in the area and bar keeps who can make anything.

For the full taste of Ireland’s brews, try an Irish ight, which includes Guinness, Smithwick’s, Harp and Kilkenny.

In its years in Littleton, Casey said Ned Kelly’s has seen countless great days, but one of the best each year is the St. Baldrick’s fundraiser.

St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a nonpro t that raises money to support children with cancer by sponsoring head-shaving contests. is year, Ned Kelly’s St. Baldrick’s event raised over $90,000 for the foundation, the most of any Denver area participant.

“Our St Baldrick’s event is a proud day for us, every year,” she said. “It’s good to give back.”

Clancy’s Irish Pub

7000 West 38th Ave., Wheat Ridge

Clancy’s Irish Pub was established in 1973 and claims on its website to be Colorado’s oldest Irish Pub. Despite being around for over 50 years, Clancy’s still keeps things fresh.

Chefs Jeremy Ramos and Shon Guy released a new dinner menu at the start of the year, which includes a mix of scratch-made traditional Irish fare and unique dishes, like the Irish

e bar o ers more than 30 kinds of Irish whiskey and, of course, Guinness, Harp and Smithwick’s on tap.

e 6,000 square-foot pub, hous-

ing four bar areas and two patios, frequently hosts live music, with music ranging from the expected Celtic style to bluegrass, blues and classic rock.

Every Tuesday the pubs hosts an open jam session for Celtic music where anyone can join in.

Castro, a corned beef and pastrami sandwich in the style of a Cubano. Classic corned beef and cabbage is served every Friday night.

John Nallen, owner of Nallen’s Irish Pub, pours a Guinness at the bar. Nallen said an Irish pub is commonly known as the living room of Ireland because of the camaraderie.

Colorado Department of Education issues guidance

BY YESENIA ROBLES CHALKBEAT COLORADO

Some students who are new to the U.S. and enrolled in Colorado schools after the o cial October count will not have to take any standardized tests this spring.

at’s according to new guidance issued recently by the Colorado Department of Education.

e department changed the guidance as school districts are seeing unprecedented numbers of new students who are new to the country. Teachers have described various challenges they’ve faced trying to educate migrant students, and the students are unlikely to do well on standardized state tests given in English. As of February, the Denver, Aurora, Cherry Creek, Greeley, Adams 12, Je co, and Mapleton districts told Chalkbeat they had enrolled more than 5,600 newcomer students after October count.

State lets some migrant students skip tests

Denver Public School leaders told their school board this week that in their case, the majority of students new to the country will fall into that category to be exempt from testing. Colorado students who are identied as new to the country and have no or limited pro ciency in English already are exempt from taking standardized English reading and writing tests for at least their rst year of school. Before the new guidance, they were expected to take standardized math and science tests with ac-

commodations.

is spring, if students are new to the country, have no or little English uency, enrolled after October count, and had limited or interrupted schooling before arriving, they can also skip the math and science tests.

Limited or interrupted schooling includes not attending school for six consecutive school calendar months prior to Colorado enrollment or having two or more years of missed schooling compared to similarly aged students in the U.S. Students who had

limited school options in their home country because of war, civil unrest, or needing to travel a long distance to an available school could also qualify for that designation.

Students who have not had interrupted schooling will still be expected to take math and science tests with accommodations. eir participation will count toward overall participation rates, but their scores will not be factored into school ratings for state or federal accountability systems.

Colorado tests students in third through 11th grades. CMAS English and math tests are given to students in third through eighth grade. Science tests are only given to students in fth, eighth, and 11th grades. In high school, students take the PSAT in ninth and tenth grades, and the SAT in 11th grade.

Families can always opt students out of tests.

In Colorado, this year’s spring testing window begins April 8, after most districts come back from spring break.

Termination of your parent-child legal relationship to free your child for adoption is a possible remedy in this proceeding. If that remedy is pursued, you are entitled to a hearing before a Judge. You also have the right, if you are indigent, to have the Court appoint, at no expense to you, one expert witness of your own choosing at any hearing on the termination of your parent-child relationship. You have the right to have this matter heard by a district court judge rather than by the magistrate. You may waive that right, and in doing so, you will be bound by the findings and recommendations of the magistrate, subject to review as provided by sec. 19-1-108(5.5), C.R.S., and subsequently, to the right of appeal as provided by Colorado Appellate Rule 3.4.

This summons is being initiated by the Douglas County Department of Human Services through its counsel.
