One month ago, newsrooms across the state, including ours, launched an ambitious project: invite the people of Colorado to tell us what they want politicians to talk about in this election, and use their answers to help guide the stories we tell.

So far, more than 3,100 people from around the state have responded to that call and lled out the Voter Voices survey. About 100 of the respondents are readers of Colorado Community Media’s two dozen metro area newspapers.

What should candidates for public o ce focus on this year?

“ eir integrity, work ethic, and vision for our country or the entity they will be representing,” said Mindy Mohr, a reader from Arvada. Mohr listed “democracy and good government” as a top concern, with abortion and the economy/cost of living as important issues as well.

e Coloradans who lled out our survey so far make it clear they want politicians to discuss issues like the environment, housing a ordability, immigration, health care and education.

In Walsh, on the southeastern plains, a shortage of health care workers is a driving concern for Rita Hetrick. She runs the long-term care facility in the town of roughly 540 people. Instead of drawing on a local workforce, she relies on pricey sta ng agencies. “We don’t have a stream of cash that’s just available when you’re a small, rural facility.” Hetrick told Voter Voices that state and federal regulations exacerbate the problem and it’s something she wants to see politicians tackle.

Many have also written about their concerns for our democracy itself.

Frenkel said it takes about $200,000 to operate the Giving Grocery and keep it stocked throughout the school year. ose funds go toward purchasing thousands of pounds of meat, milk and eggs, among other items, each week.

“We’ve lost about $120,000 of that, likely because there is so much need in Denver right now,” said Frenkel. “ ere are a lot of organizations who are responding to the migrant crisis, and so there are a lot of food pantries that are competing for the same funds. We were in a collaborative grant with 11 other Denver Public Schools food pantries, and they all lost it (funding), too. Funding is getting harder and harder to nd.”

e Giving Grocery works on the same calendar as the Denver Public School system, August through May. e program currently has enough funding to nish out the school year, though it will struggle to operate at the start of the 20242025 school year.

“We would love donations from individuals, people in the Wash Park neighborhood and beyond, and anyone who feels moved to donate,” said Frenkel. “We’d also like to engage with anyone who has connections to resources, grants and foundations. e more connections we can make with people in the community, the better we’ll be for fundraising down the line.”

e Giving Grocery is associated

with the Denver South High School Parent Teacher Student Association. is connection provides it with 501c3 status and allows it to function without any overhead.

“We have no paid sta . We are all volunteers. It takes about 25 of us every week to get the Giving Grocery working. Taking deliveries, setting up, all that. Nobody takes a dime for any of that,” said Frenkel. “We don’t pay for our space or any overhead. Truly every dollar that people donate goes directly to food and personal care (items for the students). at is truly unique.”

“We’re always trying to draw attention to the fact that although Denver South High School is right there in the middle of an a uent neighborhood, people don’t realize how much need there actually is there,” said Frenkel. “South High School is home to the Newcomer Center. Students come from all over the world who have been through unimaginable trauma. It is special that our school is as diverse as it is and we are there to help support all of the people who need it.”

e Newcomer Center is designed for eligible students new to both the country and Denver Public Schools – and many of the students who are involved with the Newcomer Center lack transportation. Unlike other food pantries, the Giving Grocery is located within a school, thus eliminating the need for external transportation across the city.

“One of the bene ts of our food pantry as opposed to the other food pantries around town is transportation. It is one of the biggest issues we see amongst our kids, es-

pecially the newcomers. ey and their families may not have cars and sometimes RTD can have issues,” said Frenkel. “Being right there on the Denver South High School campus, students can come directly after school. ey’re already there. ey can take their district-provided transportation home afterwards, so we are eliminating an additional barrier for them.”

Also unlike many food pantries, the Giving Grocery provides personal items in addition to food.

“We try to have a few types of personal care items on the shelves every week. It could be feminine hygiene products, laundry detergent, deodorant, shampoo, lotion and things like that. ose are the hardest things for us to keep in stock because they’re expensive for us to buy,” said Frenkel. “We depend on a lot of partners to supply those items … who give us things in bulk.”

People and organizations such as church groups, book clubs and other community groups also put on personal care drives to help the

Giving Grocery make such items available to students.

While the Giving Grocery has a long waiting list of volunteers, it is in need of monetary donations and donations of food and personal care items. To give a monetary donation to the Giving Grocery, visit https:// donorbox.org/denver-south-giving-grocery. e program also has a running Amazon Wish List that people are encouraged to donate through.

“ ere is a lot of talk in the food security world about the stigma of going to a food pantry – for kids, especially, who are afraid of being seen by their peers,” said Frenkel. “We’ve actually not found any of that with the Giving Grocery. ere is a lot of camaraderie with the students who use us. ere is a sense of pride in that they are helping their families every week.”

ELECTION

“I want candidates to discuss wholesale reform of our country’s and Colorado’s constitution,” wrote Juan Manuel Ramirez Anzures of Denver. “We need to overhaul them to incorporate reforms like more seats, instant-runo elections, robust publicly nanced elections, and proportional representation.”

We’re also asking how much condence people have in elections, both how they are conducted in Colorado, and around the country. e people responding so far are telling us they have great faith in our state’s election system, but a lot

more doubt about whether the election will be conducted fairly nationwide.

e Voter Voices survey is being conducted by 60 newsrooms statewide from Fort Collins to Pueblo, Salida and Alamosa and from Sterling and Kiowa to Grand Junction, Durango and Nucla.

As Regan Tuttle, owner and editor of the San Miguel Basin Forum, put it: “My community is very remote and rural. ey tend to feel that nobody listens. I felt the survey would give them a chance to speak and feel heard …”

e project is led by the nonpro t Colorado News Collaborative (COLab) and CPR.

e survey will remain open through this year’s election cam-

paigning, as newsrooms continue to record their communities’ priorities and present what we learn to our readers and listeners.

e goal is not only to respond to what Coloradans statewide and locally say matters to them in our election reporting, but also to challenge candidates to respond directly to voter priorities and concerns.

We invite you not just to ll out the Voter Voices survey, but also to pass it on; share the link with others you know whose opinions we should hear. Colorado Community Media and its two dozen newspapers across the Denver are participating.

Zillow Rolls Out a Home ‘Touring Agreement’ That Doesn’t Comply With Colorado Law

Ever since the March 15th announcement by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that it had reached a settlement on the massive litigation against it regarding buyer agent commissions, brokers and brokerages have been trying to figure out how they can get buyers to sign an agreement of the type required by that settlement.

Such an agreement would have to provide for payment by buyers of the broker working on their behalf, and that agreement would have to be signed before an agent could show the buyer any homes for sale.

with whom I shared Zillow’s agreement last week.

First, since it has not been approved by the Colorado Real Estate Commission (CREC), Zillow’s form can only be used by brokers if it has been prepared by that broker’s own lawyer. Second, it does not contain the required definitions of working relationships.

I asked Waters what new or changed contracts the Division is working on to comply with the provisions of the NAR settlement, and she replied as follows:

Zillow, which is now a brokerage, not merely a real estate listing site, thinks it has produced an agreement which satisfies that requirement and that buyers would be happy to sign. The essence of it is that it is non-exclusive, lasts only seven days, and does not commit the buyer to paying anything.

Although the “Touring Agreement” is copyrighted, the April 30th blog post by Zillow’s Chief Industry Development Officer, Errol Samuelson, states that “we’re making it available for use to the entire residential real estate industry.”

Above right I have reproduced the one-page agreement, omitting only the non-discrimination clause and the signature lines.

In the blog post, Samuelson acknowledged that “the form of this agreement will vary by state, [but] we’re calling on the industry to adopt a non-exclusive, limited-duration agreement for the initial tours conducted by an agent with a prospective buyer.”

Indeed the form does not comply with Colorado state law in two respects, according to Marcia Waters, who heads the Division of Real Estate at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs,

“It is our position that the NAR settlement doesn't require any changes to our forms. With that said, the Forms Committee is working on some possible revisions to the listing contracts, the contract to buy and sell and the brokerage disclosure to buyer to provide further clarification about compensation. Those revisions will be considered by the Real Estate Commission at their nonrulemaking hearing for the forms in June.” That meeting is at 9 a.m. on June 4th. The requirements established by the NAR settlement are now set to take effect on August 17th.

I like the concept of Zillow’s proposed touring agreement, since the NAR settlement only specifies “an agreement.” Having sent it to the Division of Real Estate and also to Frascona, Joiner, Goodman & Greenstein, PC, the law firm which serves Golden Real Estate and hundreds of other brokerages with legal forms not among those mandated by the CREC, I’m hopeful that one or the other of them will produce a “showing agreement” that we can use.

Without such an document agreeable to buyers, we can expect that buyers will only call listing agents to see listed homes. That scenario would serve neither the industry nor the public.

NAR Releases Additional Rules Pursuant to Settlement

Heretofore, the only guidance brokers had regarding the NAR settlement was that the MLS could no longer display an offer of co-op compensation for listings and that brokers could not show listings to a buyer with first executing a written agreement with that buyer. Last week we were advised of some additional rules that the MLSs need to follow. Here are the key takeaways. MLSs may not “create, facilitate, or support any non-MLS mechanism (including by providing listing information to an internet aggregator’s website for such purpose)” that includes “offers of compensation to buyer brokers or other

buyer representatives.”

MLS data may not be used “directly or indirectly” to create a platform containing offer of compensation, and, if that is done, the MLS must terminate the access to the MLS and MLS data by the offending broker or brokerage.

Virtually every brokerage has its own website on which MLS listings are displayed. These websites must not, with or without MLS support, filter the display of listings to exclude individual listings based on the level of compensation offered or to exclude listings by specific brokerages or specific listing agents within a brokerage.

New Homes Can Have Inspection Issues, Too

This will be a good year, I believe, for the developers and builders of new homes. There’s a decent supply, you can choose between spec homes that are already built, or design a home to your specifications if you are not in a rush.

You won’t have to deal with bidding wars, but you also won’t be able to negotiate a price reduction. It’s “list price only” with builders.

Also, you can hire a buyer’s agent, such as my broker associates or me, who will be paid by the builder, so you don’t have to pay for professional representation. Too many buyers of new homes end up regretting that they bought from a builder’s salesperson and didn’t have a professional on their side. The builder’s agent is working for the builder and not in your best interest.

Another mistake buyers make is to think that because a home is new, it doesn’t need to be inspected. You abso-

“Concentrate

lutely must invest in the cost of a professional home inspector. We have an inspector on our team, Jim Camp, who has decades of experience inspecting new homes for buyers. We recommend him exclusively. New construction is permitted and must pass county or city inspection, but, based on the kinds of defects that Jim has found in new homes, we worry that these inspections can be too cursory.

Jim likes to do a 2-phase inspection. The first inspection would be at the rough-in or pre-drywall stage, and the second or final inspection would be prior to the buyer’s final walk-through with the builder.

As when buying an existing home, money spent on inspections is money well spent, because you might uncover hidden defects, from sewer to attic, that could cost you much more later on. Call me with your questions.

“Hub Cap Annie” was once a xture on Denver’s East Colfax Avenue.

It was the alter ego of Jane Withers, known for donning a Vikingstyle costume — a headdress, horns and long gold braids.

“Who would wear that costume if they didn’t have a sense of humor? I think that’s what I liked about her,” said Chris Stieler, a volunteer at the Littleton nursing home where Withers lived her nal days.

Withers, in her 80s, died on April 25, leaving behind a lively story and a

legacy of local fame and redemption.

“She’s di erent from anyone I’ve ever met. She always had a story to tell, but she was always concerned about others,” Stieler said, describing her as “crazy, feisty, wild — but de nitely a caring person.”

Born in Cleveland and raised in Florida, Withers headed to Denver after getting permission to open a Hub Cap Annie store as a franchise, Stieler said. e business sold used hubcaps for cars back when many cars were equipped with the covers for wheels. Her store arrived in the Mile High City in the early 1980s,

of Florida and worked as a registered nurse, but wanted to “start a di erent life, I believe,” Stieler said.

Her move west saw her grow enamored with hubcaps.

Stieler, who met Withers nine years ago, once said to her: “If I asked you what the hubcap looked like for a 1964 Plymouth, would you be able to tell me?

“And she was able to,” Stieler said. Her business life took a seedy turn, dealing in stolen hubcaps, Stieler said. at included getting them “o of cars in the parking lot of Mile High Stadium during Broncos’ games,” Withers was quoted as saying in Car

But she pushed on. And she began using her experiences to inspire others, becoming a motivational speaker and making it a point to hire employees who needed mentoring and a second chance, according to the LEADER magazine from Life Care, the nursing home company that housed her in recent years.

“I think she always wanted to redeem herself in a sense,” Stieler said. “She sure made up her mind that she was going to be a bene t and help other people.”

She was one of the founders of the Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce, and photos show her with former o cials — U.S. senators, Denver Mayor Federico Peña and Colorado governors, Stieler said.

Even when she would slip into confusion amid dementia in her later years, she “would still think she was

going to give a lecture that evening, even up to last week,” Stieler said the day after she passed.

“I just thought that was interesting that that was in the forefront of her mind,” Stieler added.

At the Life Care Center of Littleton where she lived and had many friends, Withers will be missed.

Stieler, a 72-year-old former realestate agent, remembers Withers’ irreverent comments and what people around her called “Jane-isms,” Stieler said.

“She’s one of a kind,” Stieler said. “And I’ll miss her sense of humor and her stories and just spending time with her.”

Jared Phillips thinks one of the hardest parts about ghting cancer is fretting over whether someone will show up to give him a ride to his treatment. Phillips, who is battling bladder cancer, knows he cannot

Phillips said. “If they didn’t…. well… I would be in big trouble. at just added to my anxiety.”’

en, earlier this year, along came the genial Carol Rose, a veteran of the American Cancer Society’s Road to Recovery program. Rose and other volunteers provide free rides to treatment for cancer patients who can’t otherwise get to treatment.

“It is something I’ve done for a while and I just feel it’s my way of

helping out,” Rose said. “I just wanted to lend a hand. And I like driving the patients and their families, getting to know them. And lots like to tell me their stories.”

Phillips and his wife Jennifer Barnes got connected with Rose through Tammy White Uecker, an RN, and General Cancer Nurse Navigator with SCL Health Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge. It’s there that Phillips gets his chemo treatments but not before he relaxes a bit in the back seat of Rose’s SUV while enroute to the hospital.

“We don’t have that stress that I might miss a session,” Phillips said. Rose, Barnes added, has become a

friend they can rely on for emotional support as well.

“We have never been late, which is such a relief,” Barnes said. “She (Rose) has been a God send.”

Seeds of South Sudan founder Arok Garang will speak about the program he founded at several metro area churches in June. There is no cost to attend.

An Arvada-based nonpro t with board members from throughout the metro area aims to help rebuild the world’s newest — and one of its poorest — countries. Seeds of South Sudan helps relocate and educate orphans who face an otherwise bleak future, with the intention that the children return to help rebuild their home country.

“Without help from an organization like ours, these children are stuck in a refugee camp,” said Arvada resident Jill Flateland, a Seeds volunteer who sponsors children with her husband Byron. “Education is key for allowing them to actually have a life. We o er them an opportunity to become educated, with the goal of giving back to their home country — to be the seeds of South Sudan.”

Group founder Arok Garang, who was one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, will be speaking about his life’s work at several metro area churches in June. As a young man, the United Nations helped Garang move to Colorado from a refugee camp, where he earned an economics degree from

the University of Colorado at Denver. He now lives primarily in Kenya, where he oversees a boarding house in which Seeds’ students live.

Each year, Seeds sponsors several South Sudanese orphans from among thousands at the refugee camp. ey then live in the boarding house and attend school.

Seeds’ sponsors pay $150 a month, which covers the cost for a student’s education, lodging, food, clothing and medical expenses. In exchange, they can track their student’s progress, and communicate via letters and Zoom.

Conifer resident and Seeds board member Eileen Steeg learned about the organization in 2023 and sponsored two children who were living in Kenya’s Kakuma Refugee Camp with 150,000 other refugees.

“I realized this was the most meaningful opportunity that had crossed my path since I had retired from teaching in 2018,” she said. “Americans spend so much money per month on fast food and co ee and for a relatively small amount of $150 a month, I could impact and basically save a life. It was an amazing feeling.

“Some of our kids have gone on to university and are in the process of becoming doctors and lawyers,” she added. “We have one young man who is graduating this December with his medical degree. Just imagine if he had stayed in the camp!”

Seeds of South Sudan is closely a liated with Arvada Covenant Church, where volunteers helped Garang form the nonpro t in 2011.

Its board includes volunteers from Conifer, Denver, Littleton, ornton, Westminster and Arvada.

South Sudan, which has been independent from Sudan since 2011, is recovering from decades of civil war. Complicating its recovery, it faces ongoing issues with Sudan over oil revenues and land borders, and ghting between government forces and rebel groups.

e con icts and disease have separated families and fed a constant wave of misplaced children, many of whom arrive at refugee camps malnourished, traumatized and alone.

eir trials don’t end there; malnutrition and disease are ongoing issues in the Kakuma Refugee Camp, according to Seeds website, and educational and economic opportunities are limited.

“Inside this small city at the edge of the desert, children age into adulthood and hope fades to resignation,” the site says.

“ e bottom line is, they don’t get out of the refugee camp unless they get sponsored,” said Seeds’ board member and Arvada resident Jeri Lou Maus, who also sponsors a child.    rough Seeds, 159 children have received an education or are now attending school in Kenya. Sixty- ve have graduated high school and more than 20 are attending college in Kenya. ousands more remain in the refugee camp.

“No matter how many you sponsor, it’s never enough,” board vice president Byron Flateland said.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife has a science-based plan for managing mountain lions

I am a Colorado native, and my wife and I have been Washington Park residents for over a decade. We are not mountain lion hunters or trappers. I came face to face with a mountain lion while hiking in Colorado a number of years ago, and since then, have done a lot of research on them.

ere appears to be a lot of misinformation being spread in regards to the initiative to ban trophy hunting mountain lions. In response to this, Colorado Parks and Wildlife put out a 24-minute video detailing the tools they use to manage mountain lions. ey support the continued use of all the tools they have available, including hunting, to manage mountain lions, bobcats and other furbearers. In this video, Mark Vieira, CPW’s Carnivore and Furbearer Program manager, states that “hound hunting (mountain lions) is an important tool we have in Colorado” to manage mountain lion populations. Hounds are not only used for hunting, but also used by CPW as a tool to collar lions so they can be studied. He also states that by law, “all harvested lion meat must be made suitable for human consumption.”

Please watch CPW’s video for more information on how they manage mountain lions in Colorado. e video is titled “Mountain Lion Management Update” and was published in January of 2024 in response to the misinformation about their stance. CPW’s video can be found here: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP01E9qO2MU or on the CPW website.

As proposed, the initiative would in fact remove CPW’s science-based management plan for mountain lions, bobcats and furbearers. is would hamstring CPW when it comes to these species. CPW supports a balance of all wildlife in this state and uses a lot of tools, including hunting, to manage the wildlife based on CPW’s objectives for each species.

Please educate yourselves before signing petitions to get things on ballots. ere’s a lot of important details beneath the headlines that must be read and understood before making a decision.

How Cinderella City shaped the modern mall

BY ELISABETH SLAY ESLAY@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Described as a “city under a roof” by devoted amateur historian Josh Goldstein, Cinderella City in Englewood was once one of the largest and most innovative shopping malls in the country.

Created by developer Gerri Von Frellick, Cinderella City opened for business in 1968 and was mostly demolished in 1998. Its history, though short and controversial, helped shape the foundation of the modern mall.

“I think it was well known in the

mall and shopping center industry that Cinderella City was more than a mall, and that was seen by a lot of different people, and who knows how that was taken by generations of urban planners and architects and developers,” said Goldstein, who works as an architectural software engineer.

“ ere were a lot of good and bad things from this mall that we should take as lessons.”

The history

Jack Bu ngton, program director for supply chain management at the University of Denver, said the evolution of American shopping malls began after World War II.

“A highway system was built in the United States and people started moving out in the suburbs and then the rst generation of malls came about, which were strip malls,” Buington said.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a timespan during which Cinderella City was operating, the more traditional style of malls came into the picture.

“Instead of being a strip, it was a single facility, typically cornerstoned by a big department store like JCPenney or something like that,” Bu ngton said.

Goldstein said it took eight years to actually open Cinderella City, as it replaced Englewood’s “beloved city park” and many residents didn’t see a need for a massive shopping center.

Once opened, however, in the rst half of its life, Cinderella City, or “New Englewood,” was a bustling enclosed metropolis.

Divided by color into ve sub-malls so it would be easy to navigate, the space was essentially a rainbow of activity and amenities, some unique to the times, including a large event space, grand fountain, hundreds of

retail shops, o ce space, a massive parking deck and more.

“Cinderella City encapsulated the idea that a mall could be more than a shopping center,” Goldstein said. “It was the biggest mall Von Frellick had built and I think for just a little bit it was the biggest mall in the country, possibly the world.”

Goldstein said the project was also very community-focused as it had outposts of the Englewood Police Department, re department and high school and it featured permanent handprints and busts of locals who helped make the project a reality.

“So it did really well and it did make the splash and impact that was intended,” Goldstein said. “It really made it feel like it was for the community by the community.”

ODE

Goldstein said by 1974, the mall accounted for 52% of Englewood’s revenue.

“ ere’s a funnel of stores and activity from Broadway into the shopping center and I think this is when it became evident that they may have created a monster,” Goldstein said.

By the 1980s, despite an attempt at saving the structure that had some minor success, Cinderella City would fall into decay and disrepair due to years of maintenance neglect, competitors and changing times.

Goldstein said the event space was changed, the fountain was removed, retailers began to leave, o ce space was left vacant, the massive parking deck crumbled and crime at the mall increased.

“ ey made a monster,” Goldstein said. “ ey made this thing that was so big and it’s great when you rst build it, but then 10 years down the line, where’s the money going to come from to maintain the repair and replace?”

Bu ngton said in the late 1990s and early 2000s, large stores like Walmart started replacing the traditional mall because it was one store that could o er almost everything at lower prices in a singular location.

In 1998, after discussion and redevelopment plans, Cinderella City was mostly demolished, except for the part that became Englewood’s city hall, and eventually transformed into a transit-oriented development.

It was during its demolition that Goldstein was driving by with his parents and became interested in the history of the project.

“ ey spoke of it so fondly and I couldn’t quite rationalize the discrepancies between what I was seeing outside the window, which was just absolute destruction and sadness and a big empty hulk where you could see into its innards, and then what they were telling me how amazing, and colorful and fun and enjoyable the mall was in the 1970s,” Goldstein said.

It was Cinderella City that actually inspired Goldstein to go into the architectural software industry.

In 2024, nearly 26 years after its demise, the only structure left standing from Cinderella City is the three-story Englewood Civic Center. Goldstein said this building was a department store attached to the once massive mall.

‘Paradoxically behind the times’

“(Cinderella City) was ahead of its time and it did do good things for the community, but it also in other ways was paradoxically behind the times and did bad things for the community,” Goldstein said.

It cost millions of dollars for the city to demolish the mall and over the years, the area has seen redevelopment but not at the scale of Cinderella City during its heyday, Goldstein said.

“At the time local governments didn’t really know how to handle this, but I think the City of Englewood was faced with a pretty unprecedented situation,” Goldstein said.

Cinderella City was one of the rst malls structured like this to fall.

“I think it was a precursor to a lot of other malls that have since fallen,” Goldstein said.

He said Cinderella City wasn’t a sustainable project. It was shaped like an M and had many levels so it could properly t on its property. However, Goldstein said this was an issue for long-term evolution.

“To some degree, Cinderella City wasn’t going to redesign itself out of its own problems because it was inherently a problematic layout and design,” he said.

However, Goldstein said, some aspects of the mall were positive and innovative measures that are seen in modern trends.

e biggest feature was Cinderella City’s Cinder Alley, which was a connection of pathways to various small shops where up-and-coming artists or crafters could sell their goods.

“I think the mixed-use part of it and the community-oriented part of it and the hyper-local part of it are good lessons to take away,” he said. “I am unsurprised that that is a trend and probably always will be a trend, and Cinderella City just happened to get there rst.”

ese days, Bu ngton said malls are all about experience and how to engage consumers.

“If we talk about today, malls are becoming these multipurpose experiential models where there is more of a community,” Bu ngton said.

He explained a big factor into the future of what a mall-type facility looks like now is commercial real estate.

ere are di erent types of real estate including o ce, retail and industrial, said Bu ngton, who explained that numbers are down for these separately.

“So what a lot of these commercial real estate developers are trying to do is to try to manage these vacancies to make things multipurpose,” Bu ngton said.

Continued impact

Goldstein spent years researching the Cinderella City project and for the last few years has worked to create an immersive digital exhibit featuring the project, which will be in the Englewood Historic Preservation

Society’s new museum.

e exhibit will feature a simulation Goldstein has created to pay homage to the project that inspired his career and passion.

“ e simulation is Cinderella City in two di erent eras,” he said. “So, Cinderella City as it appeared in 1968 and the other time period is 1988… You can time travel and you can see what that very same spot looks like 20 years in the future.”

Goldstein said he really wanted to feature the two lives of Cinderella City in both the simulation and the museum exhibit.

As of press deadlines, the museum was slated for a soft opening on May 4.

“(It’s) the life it lived after it was built and the life it lived shortly before it died,” Goldstein said of his simulation.

Bu ngton said technology will inuence how future versions of malls will look for customers.

“ e new model has to be experiential,” Bu ngton said. “It really comes down to innovation.”

Ride scheduling is coordinated online, and volunteers can share their schedule availability based on what works for them, according to the American Cancer Society. Once a volunteer’s schedule is set, drivers can accept ride requests from people in their community who need help getting to appointments. Nationwide, in 2023, the program provided more than 47,000 rides to treatment, according to the American Cancer Society. In Colorado, 1,400 rides were given last year.

drivers in the state, according to the cancer society.

But there is a shortage of drivers in Colorado, especially in the north metro area and in the state’s rural areas, said Sara Walla, regional director of regional integrated marketing at the American Cancer Society.

“We need more volunteers so we can help more cancer patients,” Walla said. “Unfortunately, we can’t provide rides to everyone who asks for them. We need more volunteers to change that.”

Rose, 71, said she has learned a lot from quietly talking to patients while she drives them to their ap-

pointments. “ ey handle what’s going on with them di erently and I appreciate that. I don’t press them, and if they want to talk, I am happy to have a conversation.”

One patient especially shook Rose. “She was young and well made up and she asked me out of the blue ‘Does it look like I am dying?’ “

“I didn’t really know what to say, so I didn’t say much,” Rose said. “ at’s all you can do sometimes. Is just listen.”

Colorado is making grants of up to $100,000 available to non-pro t groups in education, health care and tribal organizations for programs that emphasize the prevention of gun deaths and violence. e Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s O ce

of Gun Violence Prevention are providing the grants for organizations to “conduct community-based gun violence initiatives focused on interrupting cycles of gun violence, trauma, and retaliation,” according to a news release.

e total funding period is July 1, 2024- June 30, 2026, with another year of renewal potential through 2027, according to the news release.

In deciding what groups get the grants, the O ce of Gun Violence Prevention will focus on programs that emphasize the safe storage of rearms and counseling to reduce access to methods for suicide.

Other programs that look to reach

youth a ected by gun violence and to interrupt plans for retaliation will also be considered, according to the O ce of Gun Violence Prevention.

Applicants who focus on projects educating the public on Extreme Risk Protection Orders will also be given priority.

Extreme Risk Protection Orders is a legal form of temporary outof-home gun storage that restricts access to guns for individuals who have demonstrated they are at risk of harming themselves or others, according to the O ce of Gun Violence Protection.

e o ce is encouraging applications from organizations that

advocate or serve the priority communities most impacted by rearm homicides and suicides – Black, Latino, Indigenous, People of Color; LGBTQIA+ communities, youth and young adults; veterans; middle-aged men; and isolated rural communities, the OGVP states.

As many as 10 grants may be available, ranging between $50-$100,000 per awardee.

A grant review committee will pick the top prospects before June 30, 2025.

For more information go to: OGVP Grant Program RFA # 22358264 | Department of Public Health & Environment (colorado.gov).
